Okay does ANYONE on the Enterprise have a good relationship with their parents or with their own offspring?

‘ no one would know better than i. ’ (oooh from neuvillette)

@apocryphis

It seems some of the misunderstandings have been cleared, but she dislikes the fact she needed a message from Lesser Lord Kusanali herself, it doesn't feel good but she needed to ensure her presence in Fontaine won't be interrupted by the Iudex himself. He's not someone who must be made into an enemy and she, sad as she to say this, must play better (play good) while studying the current changes within Teyvat. The Abyss is starting to act up and as someone who's been so intimately intertwined with it, Zarina Sokolova is one of the only people who can linger in and out of it without concerns. Then again, it is understandable why Neuvillette would wish for her to leave his region without ever returning. However, his wishes are unimportant. The fate of the world is on their shoulders and his little threat means nothing to one who cannot die. Not anymore. Not until she'll be killed hundreds of times. He doesn't have that time. No one does, not him and not Zarina herself.

They are all running out of time and Sokolova doesn't care if the Iudex wishes her dead or not. Currently, they are on the same team. As long as he is against Celestia and the Abyss taking over the world above (Teyvat), they are all good. He cannot judge her for she already was executed in the court of Sumeru. A slice to her wrists, a slice to her neck, she bled all over the courtroom floors and proved them her experiment's success. Wounds heal and even if her heart stops (or is destroyed altogether), she still returns to life as if new. Disgusting, isn't it? But so helpful in diving into risky situations where such important figures like Nahida or Neuvillette or Furina will ever step in.

These morally aligned good-natured people should learn to use others more often... Well, as if the owner of the Abyssal Serpent's powers will listen to anyone but Nahida's suggestions now. Plus, it seems now there is no need to pretend in front of the Iudex, no need to act silly and funny to avoid true issues.

"And yet, you did not even allow a possibility that an Abyssal Serpent can be defeated by a single human," she muses out loud, looking at the man with her eyes half closed. All too laid-back, the silverette stands next to the window, looking outside at the streets of Fontaine. A beautiful city destined to be drowned until someone will ensure it won't happen. Celestia is cruel, but so is the Abyss. The middle ground will always have something to fight against to survive. But does Neuvillette even allow a possibility of uniting with someone of less justice-aligned individuals? Sadly, the victory cannot be achieved with only good means. The judge and the judged will dance in the courtroom until the end of times. "The history is repeating itself in certain ways, but there is a new change in this day and age, Monsieur Neuvillette. The Traveler and his unknown little companion is something you should know to be a unique variable."

Why is she not talking about herself? The empty shell of an Abyssal Serpent only appears from the shadows, sliding up her leg until it would wrap around her waist until it would reach her arm and become smaller. So small that it would wrap around her fingers, eyes empty and devoid of any intellect as it hissed to show its presence. The shadows will be obedient.

"If no one knows better than you, then please, do share that information with me. We are on the same team," she looks at the snake wrapped around her arm and fingers, its dark scales with silver eyes make her remember how she tamed this beast and erased its 'ego' to make herself the sole winner. "Don't worry, the only things left of the one you've felt are its abilities and subtle hunger; it's primitive now, unable to deny me. I listen to the Dendro Archon, believe it or not. She's seen herself how the Abyssal Serpent has been consumed."

Perhaps, it would be better to find the other dragons and use them as fodder. The ones who do not live with humans. Azhdaha, Apep... The Serpent has shared some names before it was extinguished. As long as she can gather the necessary elemental energy, she can withstand far more than an Archon's wrath.

"Consider myself another variable to tilt the scales into our favor. But know that only Lord Kusanali can ask me for anything without paying the price."

I've been a Guides fan for years but sometimes I still marvel at what an amazing character your Luke is. A character that is undeniably capable and dangerous, and who has a fair amount of darkness inside of him, who chooses to go about his life being not only kind, but friendly and warm in personality. As a trans guy I sometimes struggle with feeling like my demeanor isn't very masculine because I also like to be friendly and approachable, but having a character that walks that line (though obviously his cultural perceptions of masculinity are wildly different than mine) has really helped me.

Do I ever understand how you feel. Luke, when I’m writing him, has a few hard-and-fast rules, but one of the most important ones is that he is, always, on the side of the common people and the downtrodden. It’s, quite literally, what he was made for, and he takes it extremely seriously. So his commitment, however difficult, however inconvenient, is to be kind. Not necessarily nice, or sweet, or pleasant, but always kind. And yes, sometimes to be kind, he has to be cold and harsh and dangerous, but crucially, it’s only sometimes. The most common, effective, and easy way to be kind is often to be warm, respectful, and as open as one can be. Not a doormat, not a yes-man, not a fool, but simply kind and with a willingness to extend the grace of trust to almost anyone he meets. He trusts other people want to be good, to be kind, to have a pleasant interaction with him, and to not be needlessly cruel. He trusts other people on a vital and visceral level, not with his most inner secrets, not with his life, but with faith in their intent and desire to be good. And in acting on it, more often than not, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Another important one is that Luke, always, knows who he is and what he is. If he ever doesn’t, expect it to be a major crisis and not easily swept aside. Luke knows who he is, knows what he is, and in knowing, denies others the power to define him. He doesn’t care if he’s seen as more or less of a man, if he’s seen with respect and deference or scorn and hostility. Heck, he doesn’t even care if he is a “man” at all! He’s a Raqkesh, a Runner, a being made and not born, a purpose made manifest! What does he care if he obliges to some kind of arbitrary idea of gender? It’s not even his own! The Children have such a vastly different concept of gender to us that “manliness” isn’t even something that Luke fully understands. He goes by “he” because that’s what he was taught was his pronoun in Basic, and by now, he’s attached to it and regards it as his own, but it doesn’t mean the same thing to him as it would to you or I. Gender, to him, is what you do. You are the gender you are because of the role you decide to play in society, the functions you choose, and the affinities you have. You are a “woman” if you decide to dedicate to the ways of water and foraging, and a “man” if you dedicate to the ways of the sky and the hunt. Your pronouns aren’t who you are, but what your relationship is to the person you’re currently speaking to. You are “ach/ache” when you are speaking to someone innately more powerful to you, a spirit or other powerful individual. You are “kai/kair” when addressing your Home, your Kamir, and being addressed by them. You are “zar/zara” when being addressed by entities far more powerful than you. Your parents, guardians, or mentors are “sha/shara.” Who you are, who you are said to be, changes with the situation, and pronouns are as static as a person themselves.

Luke isn’t a man as we understand, he is, in his own mind, a myriad of genders and roles and purposes that make up him in his entirety. What does he care if others think him less of a man? He doesn’t even put value in that idea to begin with, or for that matter understand it. It’s not his purpose to be a man, not as far as he’s concerned. It’s not who he is, and no matter what other people may insist, he knows himself true. He knows who he is, what he is, what he’s here for. He knows, down to his bones, what his purpose is in the world. Nothing can shake that from him, or deny him that knowledge. So he acts, knowing who he is, and thus has an identity that cannot be taken from him or denied. And if that isn’t manly, well... what is?

Now that Zars back I’ve decided to make

Rules For Reading Fanfic

A guide on how to, and not to read and talk to fanfic writers!! Feel free to add anything

1. Authors word over all else!!!! Individual writers have different wants and preferences with fans interacting with there work. If they ask readers to point out spelling and grammar mistakes then you are more then welcome to! If they specially ask that you don’t ask about new chapters then shut your mouth about it! Always do what the author asks and we can avoid losing fanfic writers

2. Remember that these are people who are doing this for free!!! You are not entitled to anything! If they want to take a year long break from a fic then continue writing like nothing happened then they can do that and you need to be ok with it!!! I know it hurts when your fav wip hasn’t been update in 3 months but I promise you’ll survive!!! But you know what’s not gonna help the author? You yelling at them demanding they spend there own free time doing something that they clearly aren’t in the mood to do!!!

3. You can always click off! One of the great things about fanfic is that it’s free!! Everyone gets to enjoy it! And another great thing about it is that if you don’t like the way a fic is going, simply click off of it and stop reading!! The only thing you’ll lose is maybe a few hours of your time that you spent reading the fic! Don’t like the grammar errors? Click off! Don’t like the ship? Click off!!! Don’t like that 2 characters aren’t together yet? CLICK OFF!!! Do not leave a hateful comment! All you have to do is simply stop reading and find a new fic! If there is anything you don’t like about a fic figure out if you want to keep reading or not in spite of it or if you would rather just stop reading the fic but never, NEVER! (Unless the author asks for it) leave a comment complaining about it. It’s disrespectful and rude

Remember it’s ok to be excited about a fic and want a new chapter to come out but claiming your excitement for a new chapter and demanding a new chapter are 2 very different things that have 2 very different reactions from writers!!

Dwemeris Rosetta Stone...

Dwemeris Rosetta Stone 2.0

A comprehensive framework for deciphering, learning, and playing with the Dwemer (Deep Folk) tongue—runic, spoken, numeric, and mystical.

I. Alphabet & Glyphs

Rune ID Direct English Phoneme Approx. IPA Numeric Value ⟨R1⟩ A /a/ [a] 1 ⟨R2⟩ B /b/ [b] 2 ⟨R3⟩ D /d/ [d] 3 ⟨R4⟩ E /ɛ/ [ɛ] 5 ⟨R5⟩ F /f/ [f] 6 … … … … … ⟨R26⟩ Z /z/ [z] 26 ⟨G0⟩ Zero glyph – – 0 ⟨G★⟩ Capital/Start – – –

Notes:

Runes are carved in sharp, angular strokes echoing gear teeth and vent grooves.

⟨G★⟩ placed at sentence start; ⟨G0⟩ marks numeric zero.

II. Systems of Interpretation

System I: Direct Substitution One-to-one mapping of each Dwemer rune (⟨R#⟩) to a Latin letter (A–Z), ignoring phonetic nuance.

System II: Romanized Phonemes Use English digraphs (/kh/, /th/, /zh/) to approximate distinct Dwemer sounds:

⟨R10⟩ → “kh”

⟨R12⟩ → “th”

⟨R19⟩ → “zh”

System III: IPA‑Precise Assign each rune an IPA symbol for scholarly transcription:

⟨R10⟩ → [x]

⟨R12⟩ → [θ]

⟨R19⟩ → [ʒ]

III. Grammar & Syntax Rules

Morphology: Polysynthetic. Single words can encode subject, object, instrument, and purpose.

Word Order: Typically SOV, but subordinate phrases nest within word‑vehicles.

Plurals & Cases: Indicated by suffix chains (-zûn for plural, -thak for dative).

Verbal Roots: Embedded in initial morpheme; tense/aspect follow as affixes.

Example Structure: duum‑zûn‑kharthak‑eft (dwemer-PL-TO/FOR-help) → “they build for the benefit.”

IV. Core Vocabulary

Dwemer Word System II Gloss duum duum “Dwemer” / “deep folk” duumzûn duum‑zun plural “Dwemer” nchuand‑zel nchuand‑zel “Radiant City” (Markarth) eftar‑ eftar‑ verb root “to promise/swear” fahlzûn fahlzun “great ones” (honorific) khaz khaz “metal” / “iron” zar‑tûk zar‑tuk “secret passage”

New Formed Words (structure follows polysyllabic compounding):

khaz‑duum‑tir: “metal‑deep‑gate” → subterranean vault

eft‑fahl‑khar: “help‑great‑forge” → master smith

V. Numerical System

Base-10. Digits 1–9 use ⟨R1⟩–⟨R9⟩; 0 = ⟨G0⟩.

Notation: Place-value; numbers read left-to-right.

Symbol Sequence Value ⟨R3⟩⟨R1⟩ 31 ⟨G0⟩⟨R5⟩ 05 ⟨R1⟩⟨R0⟩⟨R0⟩ 100

Mathematical Usage: Dwemer engineers carve equations alongside gearweights, e.g. “5⟨G0⟩ + 7⟨G0⟩ = 12⟨G0⟩”.

VI. Practical Examples

Divine Metaphysics (Inscription Fragment)

Runic: ⟨G★⟩ R4‑R1‑R5‑R3‑R7 …

Sys I: E A F D G …

Sys II: /ɛ a f d g/ …

Gloss: “Eternal forge awakens…”

Translation: “When the eternal forge awakens, the world trembles.”

Egg of Time (Mural Glyph)

Runic phrase: ⟨R10⟩‑⟨R4⟩‑⟨R3⟩‑⟨R15⟩

Sys II: kh‑e‑d‑s

IPA: [x ɛ d s]

Meaning Hypothesis: “Cycle” or “renewal.”

Nchuand‑Zel (City Name)

Runic: ⟨R14⟩‑⟨R3⟩‑⟨R21⟩‑⟨R1⟩‑⟨R4⟩‑⟨R14⟩ …

Translation: “Radiant City under the mountain.”

VII. Supplementary Materials

Pronunciation Guide (IPA): Full chart listing all 28 runes with IPA values.

Cultural Context: Dwemer believed sound was material—tonal resonances could animate automatons. Language mirrored their architectural philosophy: precise, durable, efficient.

VIII. Interactive & Collaborative Tools

Digital Rosetta App Mock‑Up:

Rune → drag‑drop to Latin; click to hear IPA playback.

Number pad showing glyphs.

Translation pane with System toggles (I/II/III).

Community Portal Concept:

Live forum threads for new inscription photos.

Crowdsourced lexical suggestions.

Versioning history of hypotheses and peer reviews.

This Rosetta Stone 2.0 is a living document—update with each new cavern find, artifact, and scholarly breakthrough!

[lichqueenlibrarian]

Time for Yesterday gave me so much to chew on.

I don’t really want to spoil it if anyone is intending to read it (or bore anyone if they don’t) so thoughts about the book under the cut.

From the book’s summary:

Time in the galaxy has stopped running its normal course. That can only mean one thing -- the Guardian of Forever is malfunctioning. To save the universe, Starfleet command reunites three of its most legendary figures -- Admiral James T. Kirk, Spock of Vulcan, and Dr. Leonard McCoy -- and sends them on a desperate mission to contact the Guardian, a journey that ultimately takes them 5,000 years into the past. They must find Spock's son Zar once again -- and bring him back to their time to telepathically communicate the Guardian.

But Zar is enmeshed in troubles of his own, and soon Kirk, Spock and McCoy find themselves in a desperate struggle to save both their world -- and his!

One of the things I did enjoy was the change in Spock’s characterisation; he was softer but not in a way that felt forced- the story takes place after The Motion Picture and Deep Domain (which put Jim back on Earth at Starfleet HQ at the book’s end) so not only is Spock older, you get the feeling that he’s been doing a lot of thinking since the last time he and Zar met. Spock outright says that the incident with Vejur caused him to reevaluate how he interacts with the universe, and with the people in it. He allows himself to connect a little more with others (he and D’berahan, the little esper they bring along to contact the Guardian get along quite well and have a very immediate friendship), and the book expands a bit on his friendship with Uhura, which I thought was lovely. The side plot with D’berahan, a member of a species that communicates solely through telepathy did make me wonder at the ease with which she and Spock spoke, it seemed much different than the way Spock uses words, and it occurred to me that you could probably consider telepathy Spock’s first language rather than Vulcan.

When they find that the world is in imminent danger of ending, Jim’s put into a conundrum- does he reach out to David knowing this could be his last chance, and in spite of what he promised Carol? Does he have the right to contact David, and does he chance causing David any distress? In the text it’s set up a bit as a counterpoint to Spock- they’re both estranged from their children for different reasons, and how do you cope with that? Jim’s also conflicted about having let Carol take sole responsibility for David, and his past willingness to accede to her desires. I think though, that Jim’s more in line with Zar than with Spock.

Zar has been leading his city, bringing them into prosperity with the help of the things he learned in the future. Unfortunately he’s on the brink of an unwinnable war that will wreck all that work, he’s not happy as the leader (preferring to teach), and having been widowed and lost his child twenty years prior hasn’t allowed himself to get close to anyone again. He’s also closer in age to Spock and Jim due to the vagaries of time travel. Zar wants to teach but can’t because of his responsibilities to the people and city. Jim would prefer to teach (he would see Spock more often, too and I’m sure that has nothing to do with anything) but can’t because he’s constantly getting bogged down in Starfleet business taking him over hill and dale. Zar is afraid to get close to anyone (including his new wife Wynn, high priestess of one of the clans allied against him) because he’s afraid of her possible death. However, he’s able to get over his fear and will be able to go back to teaching because Wynn is a capable and enthusiastic ruler herself, more than willing to take on ruling the city so that Zar can spend more time doing what he really loves.

I think the suggestion there is that what Jim’s really feeling the lack of is support and partnership. While Spock is able to meet Zar on a more even footing this time, able to express more of his honest feelings, and in the end to overcome his qualms and do something dramatic in order to save his son, Jim doesn’t really get the same payoff. Whether he goes to meet David isn’t resolved, and while the book ends with him resolving to be firm about taking on more teaching opportunities, there isn’t really a resolution for his emotional arc.

I really enjoyed Spock’s final trip into the past to help Zar. Prior to their marriage, Wynn prophesied that he would fall in battle and rise, and Spock saw in the Guardian’s records of the past that Zar sustains a brutal blow to the head that likely kills him. To prevent this, he takes off into the past with a lirpa and ahn-woon to try and save Zar. Along the way he encounters the hideousness of war in that era- there are some descriptions of the injured and dying that are kinda gross (viscera everywhere)- and I liked that this was shocking and nauseating to Spock. He also kills someone accidentally and feels guilt over it despite that person being the one who nearly murders Zar. At the end they pull off Wynn’s prophecy by using Spock’s resemblance to Zar and a bit of Jim’s dramatics to scare off the opposing armies.

The battle against the Originators was neat, mostly because McCoy gets harassed by an alien taking the form of his ex wife (despite knowing it’s not Jocelyn they immediately start bickering), while the one that targets Jim uses Winona’s recent death to try and hurt him. That Jim reacts to the alien’s taunting by saying his mother wouldn’t ever think those things and that he knows he did his best for her, while Spock reacts by getting angry and putting himself between Jim and the alien is… fascinating.

There were a lot of references to other books (MR NARAHT MY SON!!) which I did like, it gave the world a bit of heft rather than introducing a whole bunch of new people again.

I think the change in Jim from the show to the movies is so damn interesting, it’s one of my favourite parts of these books despite the focus being mostly on Spock.

[as-thoughts]

which bobbi morse comic runs r ur fave? :-)

I’m not going to claim to be The authority on Bobbi or anything (that would be @ootcs, who probably has an infinitely better list), I started doing a chronological completionist read of Bobbi’s 616 appearances a while back that I need to get back to, but she’s super fun even in the 70s when she’s stuck in some boring Ka-Zar comics.

The unfortunate thing about Bobbi is that she only has the one solo run (which has problems despite the fact that the first few issues are solid), and a lot of her stories are tied to Clint. Part of why I'm always complaining about Bobbi being excluded from modern comics is because we've already lost so much time with her; she was dead for 15 years of publication time.

(I told myself I was going to make a neat little list but I can't stop myself from making my little comments on everything.)

New Avengers: The Reunion, Hawkeye & Mockingbird, Widowmaker: These three series were all made by the same creative team, McCann/Lopez, and they were also my first introduction to comics altogether. They're very focused on her and Clint's 616 history, but I don't remember having any problems understanding it? Bobbi is dealing with a lot of trauma here, but she starts up her own spy agency and her costume is perfect. Also Lopez draws the buffest Bobbi, which is wild because this is all before she gets the supersoldier serum. They also have a D-story in a one-shot called Enter the Heroic Age, that is like peak Clint/Bobbi battle couple dynamics. (I'm listing these first because it was my entry point but everything after this is chronological).

Hawkeye vol.1: this is secretly Bobbi's solo. I love her here and I love Gruenwald's decision to bring her into Clint's life. She's fun and impulsive in her own way and just an all-around proactive character, whether that's taking down this sketchy security firm or macking on Clint ten minutes after her apartment exploded.

West Coast Avengers vol. 1: I love Bobbi's dynamic on teams, I wish we saw more of it in modern comics. Sure, Clint's the official leader but Bobbi truly understands how to actually support the members of the team off the field. Love whenever she and Greer are together. It’s four issues and it’s just good plain superhero fun. We’re getting the gang together! Whacky disguises and hijinks abound! The literal second line on the first page is Bobbi making cunnilingus innuendo!

West Coast Avengers vol. 2: So the first 30 or so issues are pretty similar to that first mini, then...Well, I'd have to devote like 1000+ words to parsing my thoughts on everything else, but suffice it to say I'm a fan of what Bobbi did and you should stop reading around #37 if you don't want to see all of the shit that Clint puts her through. Then the comic gets progressively worse until she dies (though there are a few issues where she and Greer form a splinter team with Marc, those are fun).

New Avengers (2010): Yeah it's Bendis but Bobbi's back! Can't remember which issue it is that introduces her.

Unstoppable Wasp: We get more of a focus on Bobbi as a biologist and we get to see her as a mentor. Her dynamic with Jan is fun <3

Honestly, I'm still missing a ton of her modern stuff because I just haven't read many modern comics in general. I read anything with her in it as it comes out but I still need to go back and read a lot of 2012-2020 stuff. I need to finish Silk (2016) still, but she's good in what I've read. Secret Empire is a terrible event but she has a pretty decent role in that and gets to interact with characters she rarely gets to be around, like Hercules, which is a nice change of pace.

[bijoumikhawal]

Also like. Re: psychosis and religion. People on that post are going "if you think a god is talking to you, you're CrAZy", which presumes that the "normal" religious experience does not include direct interaction with the divine (i.e. is actually very Mainline Abrahamic, and people are justifying it by going "and saying otherwise is heresy"). This is not a concern I'm pulling out of my ass either because I've seen people directly say specifically Vodouisants (a religion that not only involves direct interaction with the divine, but outright EMBODIMENT) suffer from religious psychosis. And the adorcist practice from MY region, zar, is medicalized as a "culture bound disorder" in the West (which is a classification I'm complicated about).

Something YOU consider religiously "crazy" may very well be normal for another religion or rite (and curiously, adorcism/frequent prophecy/divination/etc in the modern day are often from... minority religions. And almost no one on this website is well versed enough in them to discuss how these overlap with the idea of "health" or how these systems can contain political and social marginalization and violence).

Iranian Women and the Civil Rights Movement in Iran

I had the privilege of reading Majid Mohammadi’s article, "Iranian Women and the Civil Rights Movement in Iran: Feminism Interacted," which thoroughly analyzes how Iranian women have historically shaped and been shaped by the broader civil rights struggle in Iran. The article highlights their significant role in post-1979 movements, the challenges they have faced under an authoritarian regime, and the innovative ways they have reclaimed agency through grassroots mobilization and intellectual critique.

One of the most striking aspects of the article is its exploration of Iranian feminism as both a product of local struggles and a contributor to global feminist discourse. Mohammadi skillfully outlines the ways in which women have leveraged civil society, education, and activism to carve out spaces for empowerment, even within a system designed to limit their autonomy. For example, their fight to reinterpret shari’ah to align with egalitarian principles demonstrates an approach grounded in both cultural context and universal ideals of justice.

However, the article also critiques Iranian feminism's gaps, such as its occasional over-reliance on Western feminist frameworks and insufficient attention to intersections of class, ethnicity, and religion within its own context. These nuances are crucial because they highlight the diversity within Iranian women’s experiences and the need to address multi-layered oppressions.

Moreover, the article indirectly challenges Western narratives about Iranian women. The trope of Iranian women as victims awaiting rescue is both reductive and counterproductive, as Mohammadi shows. Iranian feminists have always acted with agency, pushing for reforms like higher marriage ages and increased representation in local councils. These victories were won through localized efforts, not external intervention.

In sum, Mohammadi’s work is a vital reminder that Iranian women’s activism is multifaceted and self-driven, requiring respect rather than rescue. It is a call to recognize their achievements on their own terms while supporting their ongoing struggles against structural inequities.

*I also found the words used by protestors to be very relatable because my dissertation is currently titled Zan, Zar, and Zameen.

SPOILERS FOR CRIMSON RIVERS

hi 👋, reading crimson rivers for the first time (yes ik i’m late to the party) and my god i just finished chapter 9 and i want to gauge my eyes out with forks ( in the most respectful way, zar’s work is immaculate ). But it’s so tragic, Gid and Fab, Sirius not remembering his last interaction with James?! i’m in shambles.

BY THE WAY, EVERYONE!

One thing I started to do again is asking how your muse would react to certain scenarios (expressions/physically wise).

PLEASE, ask away if you want to know how Zarina would react to some words/actions. I will happily reply to that!

Personally, I implement these details in my asks when I write them to make them more dynamic so it won't be just one-sided writing of an interaction. I don't want it to be godmodding, but I also want to not just... write expressions/actions that may feel like throwing a ball at the wall from Zarina's side. It can also be implied from the asks. The general behavior of the muse: are they cocky/confident/shy etc. Giving vague summaries of certain reactions to situations can go SO FAR in terms of creativity!

I usually try to be pretty vague about what I write from another muse's perspective just for Zar to kick off that (like with kiss asks, I add some 'flavor' to it by writing some responses but not detailing them too much).

So with that in mind, if you want to write some of Zarina's actions - go off when you ask me. Roleplay is a two-way fun time, so this also helps build communication! Let's communicate to make more dynamic threads!

It's 1 AM so some of my writing may sound weird, I might rewrite it with better wording laterz.
