I don't know fuck all about Dragonflight, but man does Iridikron look badass. That cinematic was really damn good, I was almost tempted to resub.

Well, first off. I hope everyone had a happy holiday! Things were well on my end, and hopefully, that's how the year carries onward.

Second. I do apologize to everyone, I know it isn't fun when someone just pops up every blood moon, especially with threads started and replies made. To that effect, I'm going to make more of an effort to post at least once a week.

Third. If any of our old threads no longer interest you, please let me know. That's perfectly fine considering the time I've put between replies now. I'm planning on responding, but if I do put out a post before you can get to me, it's okay to let it drop there!

That's about all I have to say for now, hopefully, you'll be hearing from me again soon!

Thank you for sticking around for my boy, I appreciate it.

Someone knock me out til spring, please?

-just bebops back in like I haven't been gone for a whole ass month- Hey hey! I didn't mean to throw Clive on Low Activity and then just disappear, but I did. I'm looking to come back, so if you'd like to get something started, come yell at me, and we'll plot.

@oakthcrn sent : 💚Are they prone to jealousy? My Muse in a relationship || Accepting

Clive isn't prone to jealousy, but not for a good reason. He has lower than average self-esteem, if a partner decides to start drifting away, he's going to internalize it as a fault of his own versus getting jealous that someone else was drawing his partner's eye. If he's not good enough to keep their eyes on him, then they should pursue what makes them happy instead of standing by him for some lesser reason.

I really shouldn't be considering this.

Speech - Headcanon

My Clive is a little bit AU. Not in terms of events in his life or how they happen, but in how he speaks. He's a bit more formal with people, especially people he doesn't know well.

He doesn't speak like one would expect a Bearer Assassin to do so, especially after 13 years of 'service' that he had escaped from. Sure, he still gets gruff with 'soldier' level people, speaking like them makes it easier for them to accept him, but anyone that he would have had to take notice of as the Son of an Archduke? He will address them carefully and cautiously.

Of course, during moments of emotional duress, this all goes out the window. Clive can be quite rude/foul-mouthed when the situation gets out of hand, but he tries his best to keep to a more formal manner of speech.

Part of this is because he felt like he had to be on his toes at all times. Showing proper respect/difference was important for the operations of the court, drilled into him with such force that his own father had to tell him to stop it when they were in small, unofficial company.

In short, his manner of speech tends to lean more towards 'Nobleman' than 'Outlaw', though it isn't a hard code swap for him.

I'm gonna go be emotional in a corner now.

Mutual checker is broken, again. Why can't this stupid hellsite work for more than a day?

[valistheanshield]

WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DASH!? WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS!?

[valistheanshield]

I'm sure y'all have noticed by now, but I'm slow as fuck. Replies are coming, don't worry. If you think I've misplaced your reply, feel free to reach out to me so I can check and make sure I have it.

I'm sorry I'm so slow, thank you for sticking with me.

[valistheanshield]

This hasn't happened to me personally, but I'm gonna address this now and get it out of the way. Look, if you ship Josh.ua/Cli.ve, I am not the blog for you. Flat out, I will not entertain it, and I don't want to hear about it, at all. They are brothers, folks.

Gods above, it's disturbing.

[valistheanshield]

Before I leave for work, I'm going to put an image into your head.

Clive, dancing like so.

DAWNTRAIL! DAWNTRAIL! DAWNTRAIL!

Not me carefully positioning the camera at the end of a fight just so I can see Jill do her end combat animation. Totally not what I'm doing right now.
