*wheeze*

As no muse was specified, I defaulted to Lyhhia - who coincidentally is the same height (roughly 5'1") as the other two Miqo'te on this blog (Renda and V'kebbe).

❖ (Baatu) If you had to change on thing about your life, past or present, what would it be?

Baatu frowned with a painfully quizzical look. “Uh…” His eclipse-like eye looked to the side as he tried to rummage through the memories of his life.

“Oh!” His brows rose and a smile grew on his face. “Present? I want to be with my family! I’d change my mom’s house to be closer to my and Zansei’s house.” Then he shook his head and sighed, “And honestly just for me to stay in Kugane so I can see my family all the time.” A smile dawned on his face once more. “But I’m workin’ towards all that, so really it’s just a mattera time!”

(Baatu is not stuck in the past at all nowadays. He truly thinks that what has happened to him, all good and bad, has built him to be the man he is today. Maybe if he thought a little bit more, he would have said to get his blind eye back. But generally, he thinks in the present more than anything.)

What's your favorite thing about screenshots. You take amazing ones btw.

Thank you, darling (hope it's okay to call you that! If it makes you uncomfy, lemme know!)

Honestly, it's just the spur of the moment ideas in making them that's my favorite. Like my Atlantis-inspired screenshots. I had watched the movie and got inspired to recreate my favorite scene, but with Shuri acting as a voice for Nhaama.

For me, it's the idea forming to be the story behind it.

Otherwise, just having a giggle is a perk too!

Your screenshots are phenomenal. Thank you for sharing them and viva la voidsent.

Awww, thank you so much! ;w; ♥ This means a lot to me.

And yes! Voidsents do it better. Haha!

😭 CRYING - what makes them cry? do they cry easily?

Crying for L'eo is extremely uncommon to the nth degree. He can't quite recall the last time he's sat down and actually cried. The loss of a friend, a truly bad trip, a dark path for much too long - these would certainly push him to a limit, but he often dams the limit with drug use.

@aces-and-kings thank ya!

Gasp! 🍿🫢

"I've always enjoyed the night more than the day, music more than talking, and role-playing more than actually going out into the world.

I'm fortunate to have a room to myself. I suppose not everyone does. And I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but sometimes I wish my room were a pod in outer space.

People think when I say I'm an introvert that I'm just a bit shy, because I eventually do talk a good amount. In reality I'm this level of introverted.

Give me all the things I love, my plants, my cat, arts and memories, coffee, coffee, coffee, my books and computer, trinkets and bobbles... my music... and the vast emptiness of space.

There is a comfortable loneliness I've learned to live this life with and that is what inspired me to challenge myself with this. Sometimes you can't tell people who you are. You just have to show them."

❖ What is your most guilty pleasure? Do you hide it from others? Why?

Baatu laughed, sharp teeth bared. “Guilty pleasure? Like drinking?” He raised his glass of whiskey. “Or smoking?” With his other hand, he raised a lit cigar. “I don’t hide many things either, man. I dunno, I don’t feel guilty for doing anything else either.” He took a sip of his drink and sat there quiet for a moment, lost in thought. 

“Hmm, sometimes I spoil myself and spend too much on some nice cooking knives or fishing gear- but I need that stuff!” 

(Baatu’s very open about his “guilty pleasures” like drinking or smoking or even sex. But to him these aren’t really things to be guilty about. He mentions spending some extra Gil on himself as a guilty pleasure because spending too much money on something for himself does in fact make Baatu feel a little guilty.)

What is the muse that you write for the longest?

Shuri. And I have a whole masterpost to prove it lolol

Considering that she is the longest-ever written-for muse I've had, I wonder if it's time to let her rest so I can write stories for my other muses.

People seem to like reading about Shuri more; not that I mind, of course, but it makes wanting to write for my others a little...not there 🤷‍♀️

(Ever have those days? Bc sometimes I have those days)

Is their vision good, or do they need glasses or contacts? (any oc ya want)

L'eo's vision, as of currently, is a perfect 20/20! He has no need for glasses or contacts or anything of the sort. If one sees him wearing glasses, he's doing so purely for fashion.

L'eo's not against some fashionable glasses! The goofier, the better. Pink, heart-shaped glasses? Bet.

@aces-and-kings thank ya~
