If there's anything more important than my ego, I want it caught and shot now

“to catch and krill your own shellf would difficult and counter-productive prove.” The Highblood said it as straightfacedly as he could, not his own amusement at the thought, nor the fear that was the wrong joke to make passing over his face. Instead, his cold and sluggish pusher beat faster in his chest, until he quashed his own fear. He smiled at the Empress.

???????

Why did you have to kill him, and leave me to live.

Why did you force me to a place which you knew I hated.

Why do you hate him so much?

[callousgallionic-blog]

???

WHY DID YOU LET ME LIVE EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE LAWS AGAINST MUTANTS?

DO YOU THINK I’M ENTERTAINING OR SOMETHING? HOW LONG UNTIL THAT ENTERTAINMENT WEARS THIN?

WERE YOU EXPECTING ME TO FAIL? DID YOU WANT ME TO GET CULLED SO YOU COULD PROVE TO EVERYONE HOW USELESS MUTANTS ARE?

IF I BECOME A THRESHCUTIONER WOULD THAT PROVE YOU WRONG? WOULD YOU SEE SOMETHING NEW BECAUSE OF ME? CAN I CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE?

OR…. DID YOU SPARE ME BECAUSE YOU SAW POTENTIAL IN ME? DO YOU THINK I COULD BE SOMETHING GREAT? OR IS THAT JUST A PIPE DREAM?

IF ITS NOT, HAVE I LIVED UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS? ARE YOU GLAD YOU KEPT ME ALIVE? OR AM I DISAPPOINTING YOU?

WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME???

Empress

a level gaze that pierces through the soul pike she knows everyfin you’ve done, and everyfin you will ever doglittering golda cold hand touching your cheek as she whispers what she wants from you

the clicking of heels and the whisper of hair as it drags along the floor behind her.sweet, tinkling laughter and an absent flick of gorgeous fins as someone tries to keep her good gracesglowing, deity-pike immortality

red wine spilling from a dropped golden chalice.

a kiss for commandantcetus?

[[ A kiss for Moira’s Empress it is:

KISS OVER THE HEART: I am connected to you

KISS OVER THE WRIST: I think you are beautiful/I find you attractive

KISS OVER THE BACK OF THE HAND: Respect/Admiration/Reverence

KISS ON THE PALM OF THE HAND: I am yours/I know you have me

KISS ON THE NAILS: I want to hurt you/You’ve hurt me

KISS ON THE STOMACH: Sexual attraction/Desire

KISS ON THE FEET: Fealty/Loyalty/Servitude/Submission

Moira's met his Empress, right? What was she like when she was young?

[[ He has! He’s her helmsman, so he sees her quite literally all the time. This arrangement has only been around for a few months, so he didn’t know her personally when she was young, but I do have some info from the mun of this AU’s Condy (commandantcetus, though the mun has been away for a while)!

“When she was little she was really hopeful and tiny and scared and as more people tried to kill her she got jaded and angrier and swore revenge and was mostly sad. When she FIRST became Empress she was trying to fix things for everyone. Then they kept trying to kill her and she convinced herself that she was better than them so she didn't feel bad about murdering people and it turned into 'these insignificant bugs dare try and hurt their Empress'. Her memory was never that great so rather than remember a facial feature of someone that hurt her she remembered blood color and that started the blood based massacres.”

So from what I grab from it, she became quite jaded with the nature of being in power and stopped believing in equality and such, but right at the beginning, she was much more like Feferi than like Meenah. ]]

¥ Either insult or flirt with the next Fuchsia troll you interact with

*Moira stared at the command for a long, long time; horrified. This anon was trying to have him culled. They were trying, and would probably succeed, in getting him culled.

Her Imperious Condescension was on his ship already. She was already there, walking in his hallways, interacting with his crew, and in clear vision to his cameras.She was right there, and this anon came along with an unavoidable command.

He was used to receiving commands he didn’t like, or didn’t approve of. He was used to being ordered to do things that’d hurt him or slaughter others. But this, this was different.*

anything but this, anonplease

*It would take too long to peruse through the multiverse looking for this anon, to try and have the command revoked. It would take too long, and he’d have no choice.He had no choice.

He knew he couldn’t flirt with her. She terrified him, regardless of her looks– she was terrifying and he was a coward and he couldn’t do it.That left the other option.

In only the block she stood in, just as Karkat stepped through the doors, the power shut down, and all went pitch black. He could barely breathe.From where he was plugged in, that was the largest insult he could give to her– to deliberately fail her, to deny his job as was conscripted by the Empire so many sweeps ago.With difficulty, he shoved his consciousness back into his wetware and whispered for Saorsa to hide and stay silent.

She was going to stick that damned culling fork through his damn chest.

He could only hope she’d be mad enough to slaughter him quickly.*
