(    WHAT SHAPE IS YOUR MUSES’S PAIN?     )

Glass Cage

You feel disconnected from the world around you. You can see everything, everyone can see you, but you're not really there. No one can really communicate with you, can they? You're isolated, even when you're around people you're alone. You want desperately to be close to someone, but you're afraid of what will happen if you shatter your glass prison. You don't want to let someone in, you don't want to leave, and it's a constant battle of your own will. It's easier to be alone, where no one can hurt you... Isn't it?

me looking at the person i like: i am enamored even with the way your fingers move, with the way the light plays on your skin, with your freckles and your smile and your laughter, with your voice, with how you get around the things you love, with your humor,  me aloud: what’s up asshole

neni is HORRIFIED by the idea of immortality. even imagining being alive forever and always makes her shiver. talk about an endless afterlife gives her cold sweat and she might need to leave the room.

this is especially bothersome in her dragon age verse where she is supposed to preach about how much better everything was when elves were immortal and couldn’t die and just chose to sleep forever and...

that fear is called apeirophobia... she doesn’t have that with all things though. just her own existence. (doesn’t like to think too long about general eternity either tho)

when neniel learns what vallaslin truly means, she does not get rid of it... but she adds to it. she has mythal’s design and at least at the branches on the forehead, she gets tiny pink flowers added. so it becomes her own thing. respecting her past but deciding her own future.

❝Oh… You really wanna know that stuff?❞ Odd request, BUT HE WASN’T GONNA COMPLAIN HERE. Virote was always met with the same requests and questions from others. When will I meet my love? Are my parents truly happy together? What will my future child look like? You know the deal. This was a pleasant break from all of that. ❝Well… Where do you wanna start? ‘Cause, I can start giving you drags on individual sign or elemental groups. You know, like, signs are grouped in the elements. So, what’ll it be?❞

        ❝ wouldn’t ask if I wouldn’t want to know. ❞      she replied to his inquiry. she really wouldn’t take time out of her day to approach a stranger for... nothing.

        ❝ individual signs... I don’t think I could remember elemental groups...  ❞ no, she really just wanted to insult people without further research. she was long enough out of school to not want to study elemental groups and what not anymore.

         ❝ uhm... what I’d need to pay you though? ❞

 ‘  he  met  a  kinder  fate  than  your  dolls.  ’  he  observes.  ‘  have  you  treated  each  of  your  proposals  with  such  hostility  ?  ’  he  asks.  lips  curve  ,  reflecting  her  own  smirk.  he  enjoys  neniel  ,  sharp  &  beautiful.  he  sees  no  true  devotion  in  her  and  so  edward  supposed  she’s  a  kindred  spirit.  ‘  if  i  were  to  guess  ,  i’d  suppose  there  has  been  many.  ’ 

        ❝ ice burns too, father spellman ❞    she reminded with a sweet but knowing smile. always sweet, because to her men appeared often so very fragile. they could not handle any drop of bitter medicine unless served with a spoon full of sugar.

         ❝ oh... you flatter me... ❞      eyes skillfully directed downwards as like sudden shyness had overcome her. she did not know when she picked it up, or if it was one of the many tricks her mother had taught her.

        ❝ ah, of course not. but it is certainly a threat if a man that I can not look up to while standing, tries to bind me to his knees instead. ❞     she looks up again, seeking his eyes with hers. wondering how honest either of them was, or if this was just two actors playing in a scene they had deeply internalized.

        ❝ not that many, father... sadly there aren't as many men as great as you. ❞     and she was honest with those words. she knew sooner or later she'd need to choose a husband... and one that was great enough to not feel threatened by a strong wife would be better. they all already lived in cages, she'd rather not also have her wings cut off entirely.

emotional counseling as keeper

as in most religions, a religious leader gives support and counseling. to people approaching her alone or as couples. she listened to many of the counseling the keeper gave and sometimes as she grew older gave them herself. while a lot of advice involves dalish traditions and religion, she still needed to learn symptoms of those suffering of some kind. anxiety, depression, ptsd, etc were not rare in her clan. ( a minority hated, cultural trauma and rarely feeling truly save has a toll on people.

as herald and inquisitor she keeps an eye on all those in the inner circle and the soldiers etc. but she often finds that the education on the suffering of the soul is a bit less researched with humans. or their counseling involves religion and the chantry even more, and with that often a guilting and “you suffer to pay for the sins of our ancestors blabla”. she ain’t happy about that,

Jenna  Coleman  Behind  the  Scenes  with  Harper’s  Bazaar  UK  —  April  2019

It  has  undoubtedly  assisted  the  realism  of  the  actress’  performance  that  she  is  a  dainty  5’2”  (although  that’s  still  three  inches  taller  than  Victoria  was)  –  and  thus  accustomed  to  being  the  shortest  adult  in  the  room.    “Daisy  did  say  that  was  why  they  cast  me,"  she  says,  laughing  self-deprecatingly.    "I  can  empathise  with  that  feeling  of  it  being  harder  to  project  power.    For  the  first  series,  I  was  put  into  cream  dresses  and  bonnets  –  and  I  hated  wearing  a  bonnet!    I  felt  really   young  and  girlie.    Then  I  realised  that  was  exactly  how  Victoria  must  have  felt,  surrounded  by  men  in  black  suits,  and  having  to  lead.”
