Been working on improving my portraits of my crazy twins. This one didn't turn out half bad, so figured I'd post :) Me: Say "hi" Zeph! Zeph: *nonresponsive* Me: *sigh* And after all the work I put into making you look right... Zeph: Could still use improvement... Me: YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE IT!! 0.0

[pennyforasparrow]

   Zephyr fought to regain control of himself, acutely aware of Spitfire and Tier’s attempts to calm him. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he found he was somewhat surprised at the outward expression of concern by the girl beside him. 

   Likely to avoid a potential natural catastrophe...He thought, snidely, If I self-implode then she goes down with me, right? 

   Wiping away the small trickle of blood from his lip, where he’d bitten it, he took a deep - somewhat shaky - breath, “You had better mean that, Tier, or I swear I’ll hunt you down when this is all over.” 

   He felt Tiernan’s aura lighten with some relief, “Wouldn’t expect anything less, you little monster. And while I would love to sit here and give assurances, the fact is you two need to get out of here. Now.” 

  Zeph shrugged off Tier’s hands and, with monumental effort, whispered, “Fine, so be it.” Then a bit louder, with clenched teeth, he said, “Guess we’re off, Spitfire. Lead the way.” Because I really do not think I have the strength to walk out of here myself....not without him....Zeph’s thoughts drifted like a frigid breeze through his mind.  

Assassin and the Fae

Her mind went sharp with panic and Jezabel felt her own breathing become rapid in shallow in response to Kid’s. I can’t leave him! A thought that most certainly was not her own invaded her mind and it took all of Jez’s effort to fight it off. She closed her eyes and concentrated, focusing on her own mind before his freak out began to really start affecting her.

After a couple minutes, she was calm enough and had pushed Kid out of her head enough to think clearly again. She blinked away the remainder of his thoughts and turned to face Zeph. “Hey, listen to me.” She coaxed as soothingly as possible. 

“We have to get this figured out first right? You and I need to get this whole connection thing fixed and then I promise you, we’ll be right back here. I’ll help you with your brother, as long as we get this whole disaster managed. Alright?”

[pennyforasparrow]

I swear I did not fall off the face of the earth....

Like, really, I swear I'm still alive people. Life is just kinda making role-playing difficult at the moment. Time and tech-issues persist so, yeah. Let me know if you wanna just drop our threads completely or are alright waiting for responses to them... I dont mind either way, but I figure its only right for me to give a heads up that my free time is infrequent these days... :( @magneticgecko @jezabelblackwood @thieffromthesands

So the purpose of this meme is to give a little info on your muses without having to rely on others to fill your ask with meme questions. i know how disappointing it can be to come back to an empty ask so I wanted to create a meme that anyone and everyone can do (mun and muse).

The rules are simple, you do not need to be tagged to fill out the questions, but once you have you must repost and tag 12 of your followers as many of your followers as you want to spread the love. you can fill it out as many times as your heart desires (we all know muses can change with their character development.)

Tagging: whoever else wants to and hasn’t yet. :P

[ remember repost don’t reblog! ]

1. FAVORITE WORD?

Zephyr : “Saoirse. It means ‘freedom’ in my language. Sweet, beautiful, freedom...”

Zakit : “I like lots of words, though preferably linked with others, not so much left on their own, as they’re potential is a bit limited that way. When strung together, like notes in a symphony, they can paint far more vibrant images, visible only to those who listen to them. A single word is like a single note. It can be lovely, perhaps, but it acts more like a glimpse. Like a soft hint of what more could come. So, I cannot say that there is an individual word that I value above all others.”

2. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE WORD?

Zephyr : “Anything to do with confinement, or control, I suppose.”

Zakit : “I’m not fond of words that imply punishment...But then, who is?”

3. WHAT TURNS YOU ON

Zephyr: *screws up his face in disgust* “Must I answer this?” (Zeph’s attraction is difficult to pinpoint and varies from person to person. Though he seems to have a tendency towards those who are not so chaotic as he is - those with a sense of control and self-discipline...)

Zakit : “I find those that can be who they are, without care to other’s opinion, to be highly attractive. People who are comfortable in their own skin. Also,” *gives a sly smirk* “A fiery spirit is highly welcome. I don’t mind playing with flames...”

4. WHAT TURNS YOU OFF

Zephyr : “Talking about this....”

Zakit : “I cannot take seriously those who are oblivious to all that is dark in the world. Those that choose to see nothing but good. The world is not good. It is a concoction mixed from night, sunlight, screams, and laughter. The dark cannot exist without light, and from light come shadows...”

5. WHAT SOUND DO YOU LOVE?

Zephyr : “Screams for mercy; the wind howling during a storm; lighting striking; Zak’s singing; Aren’s laughter; Tier’s voice; wings beating in the air...”

Zakit : “People singing; musical instruments playing; laughter; wind rustling the trees; water trickling through a stream or fountain; Zeph’s breathing when he sleeps.”  

6. WHAT SOUND DO YOU HATE?

Zeph : “Echos - it makes sounds feel like they’re coming from where they’re not and it’s confusing...and, well, a bit unsettling. Also the sound of lots of water rushing. I’m not fond of so much water.”

Zakit : “Screaming; pounding footsteps; sharpening metal.”

7. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CURSE WORD?

Zephyr : “I suppose i have a phrase, ‘By the winds and all that’s holy” but not a singular word.”

Zakit : “I don’t have any in particular that stand out, really.”

8. WHAT PROFESSION OTHER THAN YOURS WOULD YOU LIKE TO ATTEMPT?

Zephyr : “I...don’t really know. I was created to be a weapon, so what else could a living weapon do but what I do now?”

Zakit : “A musician? Or perhaps a physician...which considering my current occupation, is a bit ironic...if not laughable.” 

9. WHAT PROFESSION WOULD YOU NOT LIKE TO DO?

Zephyr : “Pretty much anything requiring writing or reading for long periods of time. The former is near impossible for me and the latter would cause early death by severe boredom...”

Zakit : “I would prefer to remain out of any position of high authority. Politics are something I try to distance myself from as much as I’m able. Which can be difficult, given my situation, unfortunately.” 

BONUS QUESTIONS

1. SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU?

Zephyr : “....I tell most folk that I could care less about seeing the world visually, as opposed to touch. But the truth is...I remember seeing, albeit vaguely, but still, and....and sometimes I wish I still could. I wish I could see the world how others see it.” 

Zakit : “I don’t...really hate the sister who has tormented my brother and I all these years.....I pity her actually.....I’ve seen her pain and....And I feel sorry.....”

2. SEXUAL PREFERENCE?

“ Zephyr : “By the winds and all that’s holy! What is wrong with you people?!”

Zakit : “Normally female, but, um well there have been one or two persons of the male variety that have caught my interest before...” 

3. WHAT POSITION DO YOU SLEEP IN?

Zephyr : “On my stomach. Wings do not give many options for sleep positions, you know?”

Zakit : “On one side or the other, usually, with my wings spread out behind me.” 

4. WHAT IF SOMEONE TOLD YOU…YOU HAD TO LOSE, JUST THIS ONE TIME?

  Zephyr : “That they would have to be wrong. Just this one time.” 

Zakit : “I would not automatically object. Sometimes you have to lose in order to win...” 

5. GREATEST FEAR?

Zephyr: “Goodness, you folks are certainly efficient in digging into every nook and crany of my personal business, aye? Did no one teach you manners?” (Zeph has a deep fear of abandonment, as well as a terror of feeling vulnerable.) 

Zakit: “Losing Zephyr... In one manner or another.” 

6. IF YOU COULD LEAVE ONE THING TO BE REMEMBERED BY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Zephyr : Power. I would want to be remembered for power and freedom...when I get it. Someday.” 

Zakit : “That’s difficult to answer.... My loyalty to those I care about maybe?  I would do anything to ensure their well-being...” 

7. WHAT’S YOUR MIDDLE NAME?

Zephyr: “Well that’s rather mundane compared to all of the other questions you have prodded me with. My middle name is, ‘Quinn’.” 

Zakit : “Coillin.”

5. GREATEST FEAR?

Zephyr : “Goodness, you folks certainly like to dig down into every nook and crany of my personal business, don’t you?

A PSA ABOUT MEMES

send me them. i don’t care if you just started following five minutes ago, or if you’ve been following since the beginning of time. send as many as you want. if none of them work for our muses, that’s totally fine! but if you ever see something that might, by all means, literally HURL them my way. i love having my inbox spammed with things to answer, even if i don’t actually accomplish answering all of them. if i ever leave something you’ve sent unanswered, don’t let that throw you off from ever sending more! messages get eaten, or maybe i just couldn’t think of any way to properly reply to it. either way, if i reblog something, send to your heart’s desire. i mean it.

Pick an age or point on the character’s timeline, and ask a question. The character will respond as that age.

[pennyforasparrow]

xD Yes, yes it is. Which is why normal sane people still live in Iceland despite the insane lack of sunlight in the winter.

Ahahahahahahaha xD Ya know, maybe this is where stories of Vampires came from?? People ventured too far north for too long and came back looking paler than the snow ....

[pennyforasparrow]

Oh man that sounds like an amazing trip! ... I will be thinking of you while I do my finals -.- Meh, it's not the clouds that bug me, its the northerness. The day I take my last final, the sun will only be out for 6 hours, and never rise more than 11 degrees above the horizon o.o But at least I'm not in Iceland I guess?

Yup yup! ^.^ And oh man that's crazy! 0.0 Guess that would make anyone a bit weary... Isn't Greenland the freezing country....? Cuz their names were switched? *doesnt know enough geography to be sure x.x*

Send '😴' for your muse to creep into bed with mine during the night

Or send ‘😯’ for the reverse

[pennyforasparrow]

   Zeph stayed planted where he was, “B-but, I can’t just leave Zakit!!” He felt his chest rise and fall in shallow, rapid, breaths, as his panic began to sky-rocket once again. Beyond the pounding of his heartbeat in his ears, he faintly heard Tiernan’s footfalls briskly close the distance between them, and Zeph felt strong hands firmly grip his small shoulders.

   “Zephyr, calm down, listen,” Tier’s voice drifted to him, his aura radiating feelings of calm, though still tinged along the edges with traces of anxiety, “This isn’t permanent. You will see him again soon, just not right now. I’ll make sure he stays safe, you have my word. Do you trust me?”

   Zeph wrestled in his mind with that question. Did he trust Tier? With many things, yes, but what about the one thing that meant everything to him? Feeling his body tremble slightly, he bit down hard on his bottom lip, his sharp canines digging into the soft flesh there.   

Assassin and the Fae

“Good.” Jezabel couldn’t help herself and she gave a little smirk.

The assassin listened closely to Tiernan’s instructions, her eyes narrowing as she did so. She gave a small sigh. This complicated things, at least somewhat, anyway. Not enough for it to be a huge emergency, but getting to their meeting place with the guy who had the key to separate them could prove to be more of a challenge than she originally suspected. “Good, that makes things easy. Now let’s grab your stuff so we can go. We have somewhere we need to be, if you remember correctly.”

[pennyforasparrow]

     Zeph pursed his lips and shrugged, looking bored as he flicked his tail back and forth in a very feline-like manner, “It’s value depends upon perspective, you could say. For you and your kind, no, there is no value. Physical touching of it would cause bodily harm.”

  Zak nodded, “It’s true. So, if you helped us, you would need our assistance in handling it, as it can be....” Zak cocked his head as he searched for the right word, “Temperamental, shall we say?” 

  Turning to his twin, he muttered a few words in their language, waiting for Zeph to consider and respond before turning back to the man, “Alright then, Thief, considering we have a deadline to meet, we shall accept your trade, on one condition.”

   Zephyr spoke up, “We will call the shots. No arguing, no questions asked. Deal?” 

Of Aerics and Terrascots...

   “Consider it a trade, yeah?” Leo suggested, lifting his chin a bit with his statement as a sort of acknowledgement. “I could get ya what you need, you could get me some food to stock the ship with, we’ll each be happy afterwards.” Then he nodded, like he agreed with the others’ suspicion. “Well, what makes ya think I’d want it? Is it important? Does it make good profit? You’ll have to make it convincin’ that I don’t want it. If you don’t trust me, that’s fine. I’ll be on my way and y’ can deal with it on your own.”

[pennyforasparrow]

   Zak snorted and rolled his eyes as he shoved his hands into the bike-gloves, “I was not about to ‘skip out’. My abilities are not exactly physically protective, like Zeph’s are, remember?” 

Freedom Isn’t Free

“I wanted the red one anyways.” Gek winked. He snatched a couple helmets off a shelf and tossed one at Zakit before pelting him with a pair of gloves. “Super powers or not, no skipping out on gear.”
