Character Themes

What instrumental track would play in the background of your character's story during their most meaningful moments?

Tagged by the lovely @mimble-sparklepudding

It's Me by Sleeping At Last

I chose this one for Ki'to because it sounds like the light at the end of a very long, very dark tunnel. If I could replace the music at the very end of Endwalker, after the Endsinger fight, with a pause at 1:28 and continuing after the fight with Zenos, it would be this.

After the constant struggle, there was finally a sense of 'Thank the gods, it's finally over'

It also reminds me of this one line in Undertale that honestly fit with how he felt during that stretch of time.

The Jellyfish Song (Music Box Cover)

With her having lost all memory of her childhood in Thavnair, I just know that returning home is going to be one of the most meaningful moments for Orias.

This just gives me that childhood vibe, while still being sorrowful. Which, given she hasn't been to Thavnair since, if the memories come back to her upon seeing home again she will probably need a while to just... be. Not that Urianger and Thancred would mind (in fact, Thancred would probably be by her side. That ship is set to sail by ShB tbh, she put her foot down on it being him), and Estinien would just have to be patient.

Divine Creation by Sleeping At Last

This one is still upsettingly short for how it swells, but it gives a very good base for how I'd imagine Rhala's instrumental might go.

He loves the water, and one would almost exclusively find him down by the docks if he wasn't in his room or Labyrinthos. It calms him like nothing else. So in a meaningful moment, a swell of music and waves sounds like the perfect backdrop for him.

Honestly this gives me strong "Beloved son" vibes where Hydaelyn is present in the cutscenes, like the above. It just gives that sense of floating in a space of ethereal nature.

Ill Equipped by Sleeping At Last

This gives me desert child vibes, which is perfect for Lohi given he's from the U Tribe of the Sagolii Desert. So far, since he's only part way through ARR, that's really the only thing defining him right now in his head. So I could imagine this would be playing as his personal bgm until later when he gets more well-rounded as a character.

As you can see, Sleeping At Last is generally my go-to for instrumentals. Absolutely stunning music, I cannot recommend it enough.

Decided to go ahead and add one for each of my main OCs in addition to my WoL, as well as explanations because I'm very meticulous when it comes to what goes on each of their playlists.

Speaking of! I actually completed Lohi's a couple days back, so feel free to enjoy it here!

I'll probably make him another later on after he completes EW, this one's just his vibe.

Not sure who's been tagged yet, so I'll just tag anyone who's seen this and hasn't been tagged yet in case y'all want to do it too! <3

What Poisonous Flowering Plant Are You?

Tagged by @sjofn-lofnsdottr, thank you!

Your Result:

Lily Of The Valley

This is the poison of giving too much. You feel yourself emptying out, dizzying, discoloring-- until you fear you will fade entirely and wither away. You have always had to give. You never had a choice before. They pluck your flowers for their beauty, they trample your leaves carelessly, they pull out your roots by the fistful and berate you for daring to grow. And now that you have a grove to spread out in, your rhizomes tangle and curl in on themselves. When cruelty is all you've ever known, thriving seems impossible. But the answer is not to make yourself small and offer every lovely thing you are to the world in the hopes it will have mercy on you. The answer is to let yourself dare to thrive for thriving's sake, to grow in the wild ways you wish to-- and to do that for yourself for once.

This is a good fit for Indie, she does give so much it threatens to overwhelm her. It seems wrong to say she's been stifled as result of cruelty - overprotectiveness from others, maybe? She absolutely has the fawn trauma response as well as a dose of survivors guilt, so there's definitely some level of self-imposed cruelty going on. The outcome is the same.

I haven't seen much of this quiz going around - like Indie I have taken on way too much lately so have missed a whole bunch of tumblring, RIP me. Apologies if you've been tagged already / have already done the quiz and I've missed it!...

What Sky Are You?

Overcast Sky

You've built up some walls around you. You're careful with whom you give your heart and your trust. You feel like you're waiting for something, but you're not sure what it is. There's something telling you that there's more to life for you than what you have now. But until then, you're content to let the days pass. You're not in any rush, but some days you can't ignore the sense of restlessness that comes with waiting. You are a calm but intimidating presence.

I'm speechless, it fits so well with Reika's story and her personality!

I don't think I've ever seen it that way, but I think it really comes through in a lot of ways... It's on cloudy days that the colors come to life. Reika feels that she has no light of her own, and that probably no one can see beyond her.

She has an air of mystery but she wants to be seen for who she really is.

Which Flower Are You? - Briar Redfeather

Orchid

You are stubborn and you know it. Self-aware and hard to impress, you have a close circle of friends and like it that way. You are beautifully unique, with interests that span far and wide. Likely the dark horse of the family, you've always felt misunderstood. You are a creature of habit and avoid change if possible. You are a selfless and giving lover, seeing your partner as the light of your life. Those who are lucky enough to get to know you would do anything to keep you within their lives. You are unapologetically yourself and value others who are the same. But sometimes, you miss out on opportunities due to your stubbornness and perhaps feel like life is passing you by. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone my love, everyone you encounter there will find you just as exquisite as you always hoped to be.

Melancholy

In longing, you are melancholy. You feel deeply and quietly, the feeling of yearning constant, like your own personal raincloud over your head that rains cold and collects in your heart, sometimes filling to overflow. The feeling follows you around and you push it away, but it's always just a step behind; when it catches up to you, it turns your expression from a bright smile to a brief look down and your lips pulled into a kind of grimace. You bite your lip to break the look and hope no one notices. But secretly you hope someone did. You know this feeling is a creation of your own mind but you just can't shake it, and in some ways, you don't even want to. You know in your head what you desire is doubtful, but in your heart you don't want to give it up. The feeling is close to sadness but it's deeper, more meaningful than that. It pulls at your gut in a way that could bring you close to tears with a mere thought of that which you seek. Be strong, my love, your time will come.

He probably would have to add flippant, stubborn and secretive to the list though, if he was being honest...

sunset

you are wistful goodbyes and unspoken promises. you are warmth and comfort for others. but sometimes you give so much of yourself that it leaves you cold inside. it's bittersweet, offering other people the care and affection you crave for yourself as well, but you wouldn't do any less if it means the people you love are content. you're very grounded, but you long for things you can't quite name - perhaps a time when your heart was full and your spirit free.

sunrise

no matter how many times you get knocked down, you always get back up. you defy expectations and stay true to yourself. you are a leader - maybe not in a traditional sense in that others follow you, but you've carved out your own path in life. you are kind but unyielding. you have strong opinions and values. there's a part of you that just wants to make everyone else around you happy, but you know your limits - that you can only share what you have to give. you may seem unassuming to others at first but in time they will watch as you grow into something incredible

Which Aesthetic™ Colour Are You?

Hali Aloke

Forest Green 🌲🌳

You're in your own world, spinning fictions and building realities and finding the poetry in ordinary things. The people around you can tell there's something special to you, and you're well-loved by a some very good people. But even to your closest friends, you're a bit of a mystery. This always surprises you to hear, because you don't mean to put walls up-- you just get so caught up in things nobody else sees that you forget to let yourself be seen. You're complicated, and sometimes you get tangled in it. Don't worry, though, it's not off-putting; despite your accidental air of mystery, your warmth can be seen like a campfire through distant trees.

So this is really interesting to me because though the description works perfectly for Hali, I realized that I hardly have any pictures of Hali wearing green, let alone forest green. Luckily I have her standing in a forest wearing green here, so that works, right??

I am wondering if this is a sign to put Hali in more green glams and environments, since I was thinking of making her new custom job have a green aesthetic. Hmmmmm…
