@ama-tcra-su wanted a hot take from ya girl: 🔥 [ less ""attractive"" muses, or case in point, older muses? ]

As much as I love unconventional muses, seems so damn hard for them to actually have decent traction. If you want your 45+ muse to be appealing they better be a sexy immortal being that still looks 25. Which I kind of hate, I tried having older looking muses before on older multimuses before they never really have much traction, so I feel like I did what most probably did and just bin them to focus on what's more conventional and typical, young and not wrinkly.

I know that's kinda laughable coming from me and my muses, hell my oldest muse here is 150+ but looks 30. Yeah, I know but that's just cause I am a scared little weeny and tends to not introduce certain ocs as muses if I am certain no one might talk to them because they look unconventional. Hell, sometimes I get scared due to how many kid and minor muses I got that barely got any interactions if I add a granny ...oh boy. I will call my own self out since I am finally trying to get out that mindset myself of only using what I think will get traffic and not everything I think is interesting to me.

However, I do try to interact with those with unattractive or old muses because the muse can be so interesting and well written with someone missing out on them. Ew, they got crows feet and a bald spot. Much more often than not those muses end up retired the fastest because BARELY anyone talks to them and it hurts man. It hurts to make a really cool oc or like a older character from a fandom enough to want to role play but no one talks to them. Then you make another character that's young and hot which everyone flocks to, it kind of have to sting.

I feel like everyone should not avoid muses just because they're over 40 and looks like it. You could really be missing out a interesting character just because of that.

slowly getting back into drawing that old man (not that I ever really stopped, but still)

unnecessarily lengthy art thoughts under the cut

started with that more realistic portrait in the corner but then I tried doing this new exercise where I just drew him as fast as I could without really thinking, trying to just be really quick and confident with my strokes, and I actually really love how those couple doodles turned out!! they have this really fun stylized quality that I enjoy a lot, like as someone who tends towards a more realistic style?? I feel like I don’t really allow myself to experiment with more cartoony/dynamic styles but this was a really effective way of forcing myself to make it happen naturally. anyways, I highly recommend trying it if you’re like me and maybe have a hard time stylizing faces, or if you just wanna do a fun exercise! just don’t overthink it and see what shapes you naturally chose to exaggerate :)

sorry for rambling sghshsh I just had a lot of fun with these doodles and izzy has always been so fun to stylize for me :) he just naturally has this sort of silly cartoonish quality to him, it’s so easy to exaggerate all his shapes <3

part of why i only write adult muses is because of some irl shit that happened to me as a child. i don't think i would be able to handle someone being Weird to a child muse of mine without it bringing up some deeply unpleasant emotions and memories.

if you're going to write that kinda stuff, please like.. i dunno. handle it with tact? it's easy to tell when someone's writing it as a fetish vs if they actually want to accurately portray everything and explore the topic in a safe (fictional) manner.

// Eventually I might add Lady Evergreen Alabonsé (IX). Evergreen IX was the original muse of this blog. Since getting to know everyone's muses, I think she might be a good fit for some of them.

IX is good-natured and spontaneous. She is willing to help otherworldly visitors (like your muse) escape unfair conditions other dendies might impose upon them.

However, she can be naive and act selfishly. Her overwhelming desire for people to like her can make her insincere and manipulative. In the past, she also proved cliquish and sensitive towards criticism. This behavior cost her an engagement of 7 years.

As the 9th Duchess Alabonsé, Evergreen IX desires to be a better person than before. Coming from the most sheltered and spoiled family in the dendie worlds, this is not easy to learn. She may not always understand what she has done wrong, but she is loyal to her loved ones and wants the best for them.

Thoughts? If you've read this far, let me know if you would be interested in this muse.

allison IS a relatively known figure in certain circles. the argent name is a known name and, though much of its history is tainted, it still holds its weight when convenient and necessary. this is even more true as allison grows into her role as the sort of monarch of the name and paves a way for a better reputation.

Ok yeah, just make all my muses parents ok let them have cute little babies and be happy )

Guizhong is not maternal. Guizhong is not maternal. Guizhong is not maternal. I know that this is a popular fanon take (especially pre-Lantern Rite 2023), but it's so important to me that people know that, based on what I find canon to present, that this is not an angle that I'll be playing into whatsoever on this blog. Prime example of, fanon will often not be adhered to, I think my run-ins never really play out in favour of, well, fanon. In essence:

Guizhong's curiosity and wonderment of Teyvat can best be compared to that of a child as they experience new things in life. You know when you witness a child experience something for the first time, how their eyes brighten, how they yearn to touch whatever it is that's mesmerising them, how you can hardly pull them away? That is Guizhong through and through.

She is a caring individual, but she is not soft in your traditional way. She'll build one's character through challenge, jest and overall playfulness. Comfort is offered in a similar way, it will be through a lightheartedness and sometimes, it can (and will) have adverse reactions/will backfire, surely. Remember, regardless of how one perceives Morax and Guizhong's dynamic, she had to keep up with him (or vice versa), for them to have ruled alongside one another as they did with the stoic personality that we know that he did.

To elaborate on the former point, she is wildly competitive, in all aspects of her existence. She will endeavour to win games minor or major (and absolutely, she could cheat; but will avoid it, because it's hardly as satisfying), to out-do Cloud Retainer in their mechanical discussions and capabilities, the Cleansing Bell is almost a competition within itself with Streetward Rambler— even in jest, she will attempt to outdo. It's all in good fun, but it is also inherently in her nature.

She smiles and laughs a lot, and it's likely why the glaze lilies bloom as abundantly as they do in the midst of this little goddess of dust. And frankly, just like children thrive in the joy of others— she is much like her lilies, and thus thrives in the same circumstances and surroundings as them. But in this, it's also important to note that a lot of her lightheartedness towards others is also to bring the same to others: smiles, laughter and joy.

Wouldn't it be super crazy of me to respond to things that have been sitting in my box for the short span of a year? Hahaha that'd be sooooo wild.

man i love yakuya, i really do, i think their dynamic can be really sexy and fun, but i also think it would incredibly easy for kuya to push yakumo too much in a bad way because of yakumo’s eagerness to be good. there needs to be a lot of communication of boundaries and i feel like that wouldn’t happen at first, not until kuya pushes too far and yakumo, despite his non confrontational personality and dislike for seeming selfish, feels he has no choice but but to say something.

because eiden always told him sex should be fun. it should be enjoyable. it definitely shouldn’t make him feel hurt, or scared. and kuya, to his credit, understands how timid and sensitive yakumo can be. he doesn’t actually want to hurt the poor boy. so he listens carefully to any concern yakumo has, and while he doesn’t quite apologize, far too prideful to do such a thing, he does treat yakumo with the softness and patience he needs, making a promise to himself to never push the serpent too far again.
