say absolutely nothing.

Another night, another bullshit evening spent alone all because the ex wanted to remain as such despite the lingering glances cast in passing. Of course, there was always a chance Shawn was imagining the looks from Bret. It could have been all in his head; a bit of wishful thinking so to speak, but Shawn couldn't be entirely certain given their history. All the same, Shawn was equally stubborn and proud. He'd sooner swallow hot coals than beg someone for their attention. Naa. He knew how to make the feeling go away. If he was knocked out in bed, he didn't have time to think or even dream about pink and black.

And so as soon as Shawn's match was over, the blond kept his head held high --- at least long enough to get past a few glaring looks and hushed whispers from coworkers --- before turning the corner towards his locker room. A sigh of relief left him as he walked, head hanging low accompanied by slumped shoulders. His mind was everywhere but on where he was going. It was so routine now that his mind could be far off but his feet would still carry him where he needed to go. And so he collided head on with one of the last people he intended to piss off --- on purpose anyway.

Stumbling backwards, he looked up, blue eyes widening briefly before he managed to mumble out a quick apology. Had it been anyone but the Undertaker, he might have taken their head off just because and stormed off. But it was Taker, and he couldn't be sure Mr. Tall, Dark and Creepy wasn't REALLY capable of sending his soul to hell so he thought the better of dropping a slew of F bombs. Instead, he politely made to walk around him. This was not the kind of smoke he wanted tonight.

"Sorry. Didn't see ya coming."

MIKOTO FARASHA ( FARAH ) ICHINOMIYA - FORSBERG. has arrived to Garreg Mach Monastery!

                                                       ***

for those who don’t know who Mikoto is, here are bits and pieces of her character copied and pasted from her wiki:

“ Mikoto is the biological mother of Corrin, stepmother of Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, and Sakura, and adoptive mother of Azura, all of whom she loves dearly. She is also the biological grandmother of Kana. [ ... ] Mikoto was born in Valla and is the sister of Arete. One day, she found an amnesiac hooded man and nursed him back to health. The two fell in love and eventually bore a child, Corrin. However, with the threat of the great dragon Anankos and his hostile takeover of Valla, the hooded man revealed to Mikoto that he is the disembodied soul of Anankos and regretfully decides to send her and Corrin away from Valla in order to protect her from his dragon half's wrath, along with Arete and her daughter, Azura. Mikoto was successful and managed to eventually make her way to Hoshido where she met King Sumeragi and Queen Ikona. Seeing her plight, Sumeragi and Ikona welcomed her and because of Ikona's sympathy for Mikoto she allowed Sumeragi to marry Mikoto. She became the step-mother of the Hoshido royal siblings, however, aside from Ryoma, she made them believe that Corrin is the child of Sumeragi. [ ... ] Befitting of a queen, Mikoto is calm, kind, and graceful and well loved by the people of Hoshido for it. Mikoto has a generous soul, from nursing a man suffering amnesia back to health to raising her late husband's four children and her own niece later on.

Despite her serene demeanor, she had her fair share of silly moments. Orochi mentions some of her odder moments in her supports with Ryoma and Corrin, like dressing too lightly when it snowed, forgetting she had two chopsticks in hand and ended up eating with four, or swimming with her slippers on. While she did keep herself as composed as she could in court, Orochi described her as 'like a wise sage and an accidental jester.'   ”

TOA ! Mikoto will be written as post-Revelations, first having been summoned to Askr by the voice of young Azura and later following the voices of Anankos and Corrin to Fódlan. she’s been in Askr for maybe two or three years, which puts her around the age of 42-43, though she stopped aging at 40. after her death at the hands of Sumeragi, her dreams became visions and her body became immortal. only trusted few know of this ability; the prince and princess of Askr, commander Anna, and her past retainers. before her death, she was able to see small premonitions but only as glimpses into the possible future.

going by the Drama CD, Mikoto knew of her death beforehand. she told no one of this revelation and kept it to herself until summoned to Askr. another factor of her interpretation is that she’s distanced from others as a result of the constant wonky leaps in her mind / dreams. she spaces out a lot and hears the voices of premonitions when she’s in or close to a state of unconsciousness. ( also, on the topic of headcanons, I have sprayed Mikoto with light melanin. don’t be surprised, this is Elix writing her. )

Mikoto’s here as a counselor and a substitute Faith professor that also specializes in Bow and Sword classes, though not affiliated to any house because of her uncertainty in life. after all, she’s just followed the voices of her dead lover and the child she left behind— she’s not sure if anything is as it seems. though she’s no longer the present queen of Hoshido, she will still introduce herself as such, since it was the title she died with.

a few small notes on portrayal & characterization:

( ophelia has been in toa for a year but i never really made a post like this for her. so since we have new muses and muns, i’ll pin this to the blog and remake it later. )

ONE.  ophelia is being written w the knowledge that she knows of the brand of exalt, owain’s true identity, her family in ylisse, and her royal status as a princess. this is one of her main arcs in toa and will not be subject to change. the royal family does not know that she’s aware of this and neither do they know that she is owain’s daughter ( yet to interact with anyone besides chrom, set to change later ). she does not hide her brand of exalt mark though and it can be seen.

TWO. ophelia is written as being genderfluid which means that she uses she / he / they pronouns. i’ve already written a post concerning this:

“ for the sake of clarity and not wanting to confuse any current / future writing partners, her pronouns will not switch from all three in between posts. as well as this, there’s no need to change what you refer to him as in your muse’s posts since he’s fine with anything. if i do end up confusing a partner with my replies ( which seems unlikely but then again, i would like to be sure ) then please let me know in dms and i’ll switch to one pronoun set for that thread. ”

THREE.  a personal and indulgent headcanon i have for her is that ophelia is dark-skinned. and i’d appreciate it if all descriptions of her on the dash went along w this headcanon! if it’s too much trouble then please refrain from describing her appearance at all. i don’t want to sound harsh but i’ve had people ( not in toa ) in the past completely ignore a muse’s headcanoned skin color and describe it wrong. people also don’t necessarily draw my muses but if you do ( and it’s supposed to be a colored drawing of toa!ophelia ) then ask me for the specific tone needed to color her. 

FOUR.  i do believe that ophelia’s ability of being able to foresee the future is true! but it rarely happens on command and comes in the form of daydreams or dreams. the visions are blurry, foggy, and she can really only make out noises and colors. she uses those to infer what they mean. this will barely be mentioned in posts but just in case, there’s my sight on it.

BLACKLIST TAG.  please blacklist “cw leo / corrin” if mentions of the relationship disturb / discomfort you. some interactions with corrin, leo, or kana will most likely imply or mention this.

[magniku]

IMPORTANT NOTES.

this won’t be too long but this is just to reference some actions or things for future interactions / posts.

ONE.  there will be a general trigger / content warning for this blog and its contents being; stalking & obsessive behavior. if the interaction is to ever bring forth rook’s behavior in an explicit setting then it will be tagged and warned as necessary. i also tend to use imagery / prose relating to animals and their body but will keep it from being graphic. if you need anything tagged then please tell me and i promise to stay aware of what i post / tag.

TWO.  on a regular note, rook knows a lot about many of the student / faculty individuals here. of course, you control what he knows and does not know + what you want me to reference and what you’d like him to keep to himself. and the information he knows would be details of a character that can be inferred or seen from watching from for days on end, up to weeks, even. while on this topic, rook does not stalk everyone. if he follows your muse, it’s because he thinks they’re interesting and / or a challenge for him to stay up to date with ( like the leech twins and leona ).

THREE.  i do not know french, nor have i studied it. i’ll be using phrases used from in game voice lines and relatively common / basic ones. i will try my best to use each term correctly but please do not hesitate to correct me if i don’t use a word or phrase properly.

FOUR.  rook will use his unique nicknames for muses when in conversation with them but outside of that, within simple mentions, he will use “sir”. vil is the only one exempt from this, since he casually speaks to vil without the use of honorifics. adding onto the nicknames, i will be making nicknames for the original characters of nru; these will take a bit of time to make since i am not as creative as rook is. maybe.

( if required, more information will be added and reblogged for everyone to stay up-to-date with my portrayal of rook hunt~! )

a few small notes on portrayal & characterization:

ONE.  forrest is being written as gender-fluid and therefore referring to himself with masculine and feminine terms. trying to focus on gender / sexuality headcanons and link them to canon is difficult at times since canon doesn’t hold any importance to those but forrest, on this blog, will be written with the fear of being judged since in his supports with corrin, he’s shown to be upset by a shopkeeper finding out he’s a male / laughing at him for it. this and a few other moments are relevant to the cause of his gender identity. you may refer to him with ( he / him and she / her ) during interactions.

TWO.  he and leo are not on good terms. this has been spoken to with sam and while they are on the path of becoming comfortable with each other, he does not trust nor forgive leo for his past judgment on his preferences. this being said, he still thinks of leo as his father. it’s just that leo is someone who needs to seriously work on his view and feelings for others, since forrest doesn’t agree with him or his morals.

THREE.  over the course of the war and the year that followed, forrest has become slightly judgmental at those who don’t take care of themselves. while this will not show as openly as it will in his thoughts, it’s a difference to him canon since he isn’t as judgmental then.

FOUR.  canonly, he has a slight flirtatious hint in his voice when speaking to friends; this has grown to extend to strangers. he is still respectful and understands when to quit pushing forward with these advances but he sees it as harmless fun and likes to engage in slight flirting with others. the length of these conversations last depending on the friendship between the two.

FIVE.  forrest will not introduce himself as the “prince of nohr” as often as one should due to his dislike for being a royal of nohr, or royalty period. he has conflicts with being born in / from nohr and usually won’t refer to it in an introduction unless it is being spoken of.

SIX.  as corrin’s son, he is a dragon alongside kana, though it was kana who transformed first and thus his parents immediately knew to give forrest his dragonstone before he turned as well. this means that forrest has barely transformed and is extremely clumsy in his dragon form. he keeps his dragonstone on him at all times but knows little about it since communication with parents is low, haha.

BLACKLIST TAG.  please blacklist “cw leo / corrin” if mentions of the relationship disturb / discomfort you.

“a bit quiet out there.” the groans had died down roughly a half hour back, leaving the two of them in the deafening silence to rest before attempting to regroup with the rest of their team. her hands are still cold to the touch, having nearly overused her cryokinetic abilities out in the field, but she should recover soon enough once they’ve been extracted.

“you alright over there?” sera was pretty sure that she asked before, but it never hurts to make sure. the brunette was sure that the both of them got tossed around quite a bit before finally dealing with the giant monstrosity. now they have to possibly deal with a lot more zombies that may have stumbled in after all that.

she’s going to need a good drink after this.

a few small notes on portrayal & characterization:

( new muse, new blog, new insanity; which means i, barely the mun, must make an entire post of bullet points on what you, the reader and my soon-to-be writing partner, should know about my scrunkly’s interpretation here in the officer’s academy. )

ONE.  midori does not need much of an introduction but for those who do not know her; she is kaze’s daughter, saizo’s niece, asugi’s cousin, and one of the youngest members of the army. also a prodigy in the field of medicine, she creates many tonics, creams, and salves for those in need.

TWO. her real name is hiroyoshi midoriko, but goes by midori as a common name. she’s sixteen, following the events of the revelations route and her solo ending as a highly respected and known apothecary and chemist. she requested to leave hoshido to travel to other countries for a deeper purpose; to heal those with sicknesses that reach beyond her current limits. kaze allows her to leave on the condition that she constantly updates him via letters.

THREE.  a personal and indulgent ( and repetitive for some muses ) headcanon i have for her is that midori is dark-skinned. and i’d appreciate it if all descriptions of her on the dash went along w this headcanon! people also don’t necessarily draw my muses but if you do ( and it’s supposed to be a colored drawing of toa!midori ) then ask me for the specific tone needed to color her. for small reference, ophelia’s skin tone is sepia and midori is lighter than her.

FOUR.  there are some moments where the prose written into midori’s posts are close in the horror genre, but for the sake of enjoyable reading and an association of correct muse, the horror will be kept soft. i like to describe medicinal or anatomy related imagery into her writing but please feel free to let me know if i get something wrong because i am not very versed on either topics.

( barely , please remember to make the bullet points on midori’s timeskip progress and her growth. )

BLACKLIST TAG.  please blacklist “cw leo / corrin” if mentions of the relationship disturb / discomfort you. some interactions with corrin, leo, or kana will most likely imply or mention this.

[forrisen]

a few small notes on portrayal & characterization:

( thank you for taking the time to read this and sorry for my insanity, )

ONE.  robin is written following the events of awakening’s game, not including future’s past. he is not from the timeline as the majority of the awakening cast in toa. instead, he is written in an alternate universe, one that consists of him not marrying and having no children. of course, this has spoken to with the mun of f!morgan and we hope to explore a certain dynamic between the two in terms of learning about themselves and each other.

TWO. robin is also written as a transmasc nonbinary man, meaning he uses he / they pronouns. i will treat this the same way as i do with ophelia. there was an excerpt of the post relating to ophelia’s pronouns that will basically go the same way but i’ll switch from two instead of three. with robin also being gay, this means that f!morgan’s other parent will be a man and not one of the female characters.

THREE.  a personal and indulgent headcanon i have for him is that robin is dark-skinned. and i’d appreciate it if all descriptions of him on the dash went along w this headcanon! if it’s too much trouble then please refrain from describing his appearance at all.

( i don’t want to sound harsh but i’ve had people— not in toa— in the past completely ignore a muse’s headcanoned skin color and describe it wrong. people also don’t necessarily draw my muses but if you do— and it’s supposed to be a colored drawing of toa!robin— then ask me for the specific tone needed to color him. ) ( basically a copy / rewrite of a rule on ophelia’s blog. )

FOUR.  another note on robin’s portrayal; in his timeline, he didn’t sacrifice his life to kill grima.  due to this and the state that grima is currently in now, robin continues to suffer from migraines and headaches as an effect to the brand he still has plus the voice still present in his head. the voice will mainly be present in the prose and writing i put in parentheses within the in-character post. there will be slight gaslighting and victim blaming due to it being a remnant of grima that speaks to him. of course, all heavy items of discussion will be left out.

TBA.  when needed, more notes will be added here. tags to be made soon.

[astraeden]

a few small notes on portrayal & characterization:

ONE.  lilith is being written in respect to the events in the conquest route; she died at the hands of a faceless when protecting corrin. except the only twist on this is that as she was dying, after she and corrin exchanged last words, lilith is summoned to askr. it is because she “died” in her human form that allowed her to be summoned in that form; moro granting her better control of it as respect for her sacrifice.

TWO.  until corrin and lilith speak on changing it, lilith will not introduce herself as corrin’s younger half-sister. she will only say that she is corrin’s attendant. liable to change in the future, as well as when she has a word with anankos.

the only characters i suspect of already knowing this secret would be: corrin, kana ( depends on mun ), anankos, alfonse, and sharena ( since alfonse and sharena have access to the stories of every fire emblem world, i’m pretty sure that they know that lilith is corrin’s sister. she most likely asked for her secret to be kept, though ).

THREE.  i would like to write lilith in her dragon form once in a while! it is safe to say that she does not regularly change into it unless she’s comfortable with her surroundings. with this being said, lilith also does not walk. she floats! will prefer floating over walking unless someone around her wishes for her to speak to them on the ground. also, i’ll cover this in the same note, but she has the ability to communicate with animals through telepathy. use this as you will in threads with a character’s mount.

FOUR.  small note that is elaborating the third, lilith does not hide the fact that she is a dragon. will happily answer any questions revolving her dragon form, unless they begin to question ties between her form and her homeland.

BLACKLIST TAG.  please blacklist “cw leo / corrin” if mentions of the relationship disturb / discomfort you. some interactions with corrin or leo will most likely imply or mention this.

The pressure to consistently be great at work was becoming overwhelming. Granted Shawn was perfection EVERY night, but that didn't change the fact that the anxiety of his comrades was beginning to affect him too. With many of them botching each night, they looked to him, HBK, to get the job done. It was a role he was no doubt born to play, but it was a lot easier when his best friends were around all the time. Sure he had Hunter now, but with Hunter on the receiving end of Vince's ire these days, it left little time for them to have alone time; to shoot the breeze and relax as road husband and wife. It left Shawn alone to navigate the waters at the top while Hunt was still paying for the curtain call. Vince. The prick. But oh well. Least he was able to spend the weekend with Kevin to take his mind off of it. With a beer in hand, Shawn finally removed his hand from the cooler and as he turned, he nearly collided with a face he'd never seen before.

"Whoa..." He stumbled back, grabbing the counter to break his own fall. He was so lost in his own head that he found himself muttering an apology. "Didn't hear ya come up behind me so sorry."

continued from here ; @verseandrhyme

          rhajat keeps the glasses, glaring at the projectionist when she’s given a teasing smile; the brightly colored frames would have to be changed... nothing that a flick of magic can’t fix.  for now, she folds them and laughs, raising an eyebrow at mitama.  despite her sarcasm, rhajat hadn’t been joking about the ache in her cheeks.  smiling always did that to her, as if to punish the face for being unable to form a basic expression, one that it should be able to.

          “   you give me too much credit.  how are you sure that it doesn’t look completely horrifying?   ”   many reasons why she couldn’t allow it to look horrifying but she allows the thought to be entertained.    “   i might have to take you up on the offer, smiling is awful.  and do not thank me for such a thing; i put up with you because i want to.   ”

          she catches the way that mitama’s smile wavers at the topic change, no matter how slight.  if not for a father’s stubbornness reborn into her chest, she would have dropped the subject all together, but it’s something that needs to be spoken on.   (   she cannot deny that the two of them   —   claude and mitama   —   looked lovely together.  their energy was one that rhajat could already feel from the letters she received from the shrine maiden before her arrival here.   )

          the projectionist cuts mitama off and rhajat shoots her a look before stepping closer and peering at the photograph gifted from magic.   “   i’ll speak with claude tonight and attempt to get on his good side.  but yes, i... question your judgment of others.  must i remind you of... pah!  never mind.   ”

          there’s no use in bringing up things of the past.  besides, her attention is focused on the photograph in mitama’s grasp, more so on the two fingers of hers that peek up from behind mitama’s head in the photograph’s freeze of time.  when her name is called, the laugh she releases is genuine and loud, a cackle of amusement.

          “   do not worry, remember.  the photograph is beyond perfect!  muahaHAHAHA—!!   ”

[ljosalir]

         She gave herself three pep talks in the mirror on her desk, then one more pep talk as she made her way to Eir’s room, but when her hand slipped into the princess of Death’s own hand, it seemed that any concern she had for the night managed to fade instantly. Balls in Askr weren’t uncommon but they were always shadowed by responsibility and the yearly festivals that the kingdom provided. Even then, when the Askran halls were decorated with banners and the tables covered in dishes and champagne, it was never a time to socialize with family; Sharena learned at a young age that messing with them during that time would be ill-vised.

          But she hopes— prays maybe— that Eir will have fun tonight. Even if it’s when they aren’t joined hand in hand, Sharena hopes those moments of joy are everlasting and a constant in Eir’s mind. Besides, tonight would be a great night for herself as well! A ball away from home, without the worry of messing up the image of her family. So, with a final glance over at her outfit— giggling silently as she pulled at her sleeves— Sharena slips the ring on her finger and nods to Eir.

         "Thank you for letting us go here together. I’m just glad you wanted to come, especially since, ya’ know, the amount of people here might be overwhelming— but it’s OK, you got this! Or, we got this? Heh, come on, we have to make sure that Alfonse came tonight.” Dragging Alfonse here wouldn’t be against the young Askran princess’ intentions, after all!
