⭐i am so excited with artair and mortem but i am also curious af to hear your other thoughts

Send a ⭐ for Muse Combinations!

Okay well to start off, I AGREE!! I love Artair and Mortem's dynamic from what we've talked about, and I adore Mortem as a character in general! Artair has as lot going on and I definitely see them connecting in ways that are going to be meaningful in their own way, and I am jazzed for it :D

BUT! On to others!

Personally, I think Jace and Mortem could be fun. I think Jace has some weirdness given his dead state but not realizing it yet, and how he has an ability to warp reality that's very empowered. At the very least I think it could be interesting, how much he clearly has a love and thirst for life given what he is, and how he believes himself to be alive with so much conviction that he breaks how things work around himself to account for what he believes. I don't know what would happen with the two, but i could see her think it's at least neat since he is oblivious xD

Opal i think could be fun, but i think mostly because i think they'd have some flirtatious banter with one another potentially, and opal likes taking down people who deserve it. If mortem found someone she felt had no potential who was basically a rich jackass, opal would totally be down for the two of them being a curse to befall them xD

Saffron--- would probably not be necessarily an extensive interaction, but Saffron is so terrified of the supernatural stuff, that i think it'd be at least a little funny if at least once Mortem scared him just for the lols. Two other muses have done this and he's the kind to be like 'nope' and run with a little cloud behind him so i think it could at least be a little silly one off thing at the very least. But also, as an apothecary, his access to plants and what he has could be really helpful and they could potentially connect in some way (even if she still scares him shitless because he's a weenie lol)

Mortem is more than allowed to meet trimst if she wants, though trimst is mainly just a little mischievous eldritch cat thing xD

Alyx i think could be interesting, if only because i think his ability to chronicle the future could be at least interesting for her to take note of, though i don't know how they'd get along in person so far xD

Atlas might be interesting, because of them being a fae but likely not like any Mortem has seen. They are a physical being and she is also not like what little i know of Mortem's patron, so it could be neat. Micah would be in a similar vein, but also because of his own survival of hardship and his harshness in some situations and protective ferocity could affect what she sees in them, and he has a connection to Atlas so they could appear together at some point

Dr. Salem Conner could be interesting because he has almost complete control over the body and all components in it. He's always seeking knowledge, so there is capacity for them to engage out of interest to the ways she's changed herself.

Maneki and her might have a strange interaction because of maneki's power over luck and mortem's over potential. they're not the same but in the same vein they kind of play into each other in a sense, so it could be interesting lol

With as often less than human as Mortem has the capacity to be as a witch, I think she would be given the chance to partake of weaver's carnival. I think it would be interesting, though it's difficult since weaver is a lower activity muse who is .... definitely on the villainous side. IT might not end well for the ringmaster xD

Alistaire could be interesting , due to the fact he is trying to learn magic and how to cleave a soul. As a magic user, that could definitely intersect with Mortem :D

They are low activity, but Nimbus, Eden, and Alistair/Aria could be interesting! they're like artair but they are true embodiments. These three are related to artair actually, but i think given the similarities between witches and the ethereals (name subject to change) there could be an interesting interaction there at some point in the future :D

♫ for a song that reminds me of your muse ( Skunk )

♭ for a song that reminds me of our muses' relationship ( Micah + Charlie )

♪ for a song that my muse would like ( Bobby )

♫ for a song that reminds me of your muse ( Skunk )

okay so a song that reminds me of skunk is always going to be your heart is a muscle the size of your fist by ramshackle glory. the lyrics and the general vibe of the song really hits home to skunk. the message of pushing through, staying strong, encouraging others to stay positive. that's skunk baby!

♭ for a song that reminds me of our muses' relationship ( Micah + Charlie )

ooogh for a micah and charlie song i'm gonna have to go with better distractions by faye webster. first of all it's just one of my all time favorite songs. secondly, the lyrics really give me micah and charlie energy. the specific lyric that makes me think of them is "dependin' on our time apart, the better the distractions are, and there isn't a lot. it only took a couple times without you here to realize but i figured it out. will you be with me?".

♪ for a song that my muse would like ( Bobby )

for a song that bobby would like to listen to we gotta go with bruce springsteen i mean it's canon that he likes him enough to go to a concert with buck! i'm gonna pick i'm on fire. it's a classic but i also think bobby would enjoy the song and relate to it given his own backstory.

musical prompts, @solarisgod, accepting!

the different twins i muse or muses who have twins that i have are on my mind rn

nathan rayner and micah ravenwood are twins in a complicated sense. they're not biologically related, technically, but they also aren't human. (it's complicated.) nathan is physically older than micah by a couple years but micah is the older twin. micah lived lifetimes by itself waiting for its brother to be born again, nathan has died several times before but always comes back looking for his family. micah is death itself and nathan is fear embodied, the two of them have been intertwined since the first people began to die and fear was breathed into the world. micah always comes first – in the cycle of creation and in the cycle of rebirth. micah will change his vessel and nathan will be reborn and they will always look enough alike to pass as siblings.

mason and aubrey keay are the most functional twins. they've had good lives, good parents, and more siblings than they know what to do with. they're stable and they support each other well. the sports they've both chosen to compete in were originally chosen so theyd be able to spend time together. mason is a competitive figure skater and aubrey plays hockey. when mason starts streaming it's only natural that aubrey will join him. aubrey's handles on everything are almost the same as mason's, even the name he uses to stream with mason. his is resekaplan2 to mason's resekaplan. mason's fans call him reese whereas mason is kap. they're each other's best friend.

and the most tragic twins of all time, jackie and kieran bennett. they're so cain and abel coded and they can both hold so much mental illness in them. kieran thinks he's his sister's murderer and jackie sold their souls to bring kieran back to life. jackie is willing to be something less than human because a life without her brother wouldn't be much of a life at all. they're the same age but jackie is his big sister and always will be, sometimes it feels like she's older than him only because kieran feels so small and she is so stable to him. it's jackie who comes to pick him up when he's sixteen and alone in the emergency room after a fight that he had no chance in winning. it's kieran who's learning how to help his sister as best he can, who's taking his meds and trying to do better because jackie doesn't worry as much when he's doing better.

adora contemplating that it’s okay to have wants as well as thinking about how much she loves catra, culminating in an extremely unorthodox proposal (but nonetheless one very fitting for the two of them)

~*~

Adora knew she had problems with… accepting things, as it were. On her first birthday - or what they’d decided was her birthday - as a part of the Rebellion, Glimmer and Bow had refurbished her entire wardrobe. With the help of Angella. She’d be so overwhelmed that not only was it still a struggle for her to wear most of those outfits but she’d also tried to make gifts for each one of them in return. They’d informed her, gently, that birthdays did not operate as exchanges. Their presents to her were tokens of appreciation for her existence, no strings attached and nothing required in response. 

She hadn’t believed them at the time. Or at least hadn’t understood them. How could someone appreciate her solely because she existed? In the Horde, a person had to work to prove their worth. They had to constantly show that they’d earned their positions. They had to justify that they deserved to live, because no one inherently deserved anything when there was no guarantee they’d all make it to see the next day. Then, as She-Ra, every day Adora felt like she had to prove her loyalties to the Rebellion as well as demonstrate her capabilities as a leader. She couldn’t let them down, no matter what the cost. As they learned to trust her, She-Ra’s responsibility shifted to being the savior. There was no one else in the universe who could do what She-Ra could, who held the power that She-Ra held, which meant She-Ra - Adora - had to be ready to do anything for the sake of those who could do nothing.

It was a mantra. A lifestyle drilled into Adora’s mind. Don’t ask, don’t want, and there will be nothing to lose. She should only take what she needed because anything more was unnecessary and would only be a sign of weakness. In the Horde, Shadow Weaver made sure Adora was never weak. In turn, as part of the Rebellion, Adora did the same for She-Ra. She clung to those basics, forcing herself to be content with working towards a greater purpose. Once, to be Force Captain. Then, or perhaps even now, to be She-Ra, and to do whatever it took to save all of Etheria.

You deserve love, too. Mara’s words often echoed in her mind, as if she’d only heard them yesterday and not months ago. Adora had struggled to take that advice to heart. ‘Deserve’ was too fickle of a term - maybe she did deserve love, but the rest of Etheria deserved to live and didn’t that outweigh her own selfish wants?

But she was gradually starting to understand that such concepts did not have to be mutually exclusive. She’d saved Etheria while the love of her life had saved her at the same time. She didn’t have to choose. Or maybe she had chosen, and she’d chosen both.

Adora, much like her girlfriend, had taken to meeting with Perfuma. To help her process… well, everything. She kept this fact private - not because she was embarrassed or anything of the like, but because she simply didn’t want any of her friends to worry. Glimmer was having to iron out the details of co-ruling with King Micah, Bow was helping his dads rebuild and restore their library, and Catra was working harder than anyone just to become accustomed to Bright Moon and to improve her relations with the people she’d hurt during her time at the Horde.

Perfuma’s response to these concerns had been that her problems were not lesser just because she’d convinced herself they were of smaller magnitude, because a person drowning in five feet of water and a person drowning in twenty feet of water were still both drowning, regardless of the difference in depth. They both needed to be saved, and both would need treatment afterwards to survive. In other words, it was okay if her friends worried on her behalf because her problems were as important as anyone else’s. Concern and empathy, Perfuma believed, were the core components of a strong bond between individuals.

Perfuma was undoubtedly right, but Adora kept her talks with the princess to herself all the same.

Another common topic at her sessions was her supposed ‘self-sacrificial’ tendencies. Those tendencies were connected to her difficulty in accepting her inner wants and desires, Perfuma had explained, and her obsessive need to be someone for everyone at any time. If she kept that up, she would eventually stretch herself too thin, hurting herself and perhaps even those around her.

So, with Perfuma’s help, Adora had created a new mantra to live by. She did not have to be everything for everyone. It was okay to want, to be selfish, to love and be loved. Perfuma was delighted to note her progress over the past several months, and Adora couldn’t help but feel pleased with herself, too. Which was also okay. There was no shame in pride and self-love.

In other words… Adora wouldn’t have traded the world she was in for a million new universes to explore.

“So how do you tell the difference between a star and a planet?” Catra asked, frowning up at the sky. “They all look like bright circles to me.”

Adora chuckled at her girlfriend’s blunt question. “I think stars twinkle and planets shine is how most people do it. But I can just… feel it. The difference.”

They were lying on one of the flatter rooftops of Bright Moon’s palace, resting side by side and staring up at the stars together. Catra liked being up high to get away from people, and Adora was more than happy to accompany her in being alone. They tried to climb up and stargaze every week, and while they were not always successful, it made the times they did manage to get away together even more special.

“I guess that’s She-Ra’s influence,” Catra mused. “Feeling the difference without knowing anything about stars.”

Adora laughed. “Probably so. I’ve never studied astronomy in my life, so…”

Catra snorted. “Except for the one time you fell asleep when George was trying to explain constellations to you. So yeah, definitely She-Ra.”

“I didn’t mean to fall asleep.” The conversation had actually been incredibly interesting - she’d just been exhausted from helping Glimmer with Bright Moon business all day.

George had recently provided them with a copy of a book about stars, as most of Etheria had been ecstatic about their reappearance in the sky. Adora and Catra had spent the past few nights spotting constellations amongst the stars, something Adora - or She-Ra, perhaps - apparently had a knack for. Catra preferred to make up her own, each story she invented for them more ridiculous than the next.

“Hey, is that a constellation?” Catra asked, pointing upwards and to her right at a cluster of stars that formed a vaguely humanoid shape. “Or is it coincidentally a weird pattern that looks like a person?”

Adora had to physically tear her gaze from her girlfriend, turning her head to look up at the sky. Not that the stars weren’t beautiful, but their light didn’t hold a candle to Catra, who in her opinion was a thousand times more stunning. Although she was probably biased on that front. “Yes,” she said after examining the stars Catra had pointed out to her. She actually remembered this particular constellation from George’s book, admittedly only because it was exactly on page 100. “It’s the Huntress constellation. The daughter of a Titan - the Titans were a race of people after the First Ones - sacrificed her life at her father’s hand to save her friends travelling with her. Her father intended to kill them all, and she was willing to do anything to stop him. She was able to trick her father into returning to his prison where he held up the sky, as the First Ones had condemned his fate to be, but in doing so he managed to strike a final blow across her body that ended up being fatal.”

“Parents hurting their children, huh?” Catra murmured. “I guess that’s not something new.”

Adora had been so excited that she’d remembered the story behind a constellation of her own accord that she’d forgotten how tragic this one happened to be. “The girl was actually one of She-Ra’s most loyal lieutenants.” Her own voice had dropped almost to a whisper. “When she died to save everyone, She-Ra immortalized her sacrifice in the stars.” She reached up, tracing the outstretched arm of the girl. “She’s drawing her bow - fighting to protect her friends even in death.”

Adora heard Catra’s claws scrape against the rooftop. “Why are so many of these stories so depressing?” she grumbled. “Someone is always dying to save other people. Why - why can’t a person do good things and just… die of old age or something? Can’t they still be remembered for their achievements without the sacrifice play?”

Adora knew she should have been listening more tentatively to her girlfriend’s words, as there was undoubtedly a lesson there she herself needed to take to heart, but Catra’s profile in the light of the moon was simply too mesmerizing. She couldn’t focus on anything else.

“Stop looking at me like that.” Even in the low silver light of the moon, the deep blush on Catra’s face was clear.

Adora had to bite back her laughter. “Like what?”

“Like… I’m everything.”

But she was everything. “You’re telling me I’m not allowed to admire my beautiful girlfriend?” Adora teased, rolling onto her side to better face Catra. “That’s not fair.”

“Shut up,” Catra muttered, but there was no acidity in her voice.

Adora leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to Catra’s forehead. “I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true.”

“Yeah, you have this terrible tendency of always telling the truth. The only person worse than you at lying is Scorpia,” Catra grumbled. But she didn’t seem to mind the kiss. “And if you’re going to kiss me, don’t you dare miss my lips on purpose.”

Mm. So Catra definitely didn’t mind the kiss. And Adora was more than happy to oblige with her girlfriend’s requests, though maybe ‘demands’ was a more accurate term. She lifted herself onto her elbows for a better vantage point before leaning down to capture Catra’s lips with her own, humming in satisfaction as her girlfriend began to purr. Maybe it was a silly conclusion to come to but kissing Catra, no, being with Catra was everything Adora wanted and more. She’d give up a thousand lifetimes just for the moment she was living.

No. No. She didn’t need to give anything up. She had what she wanted, there and now. No sacrifice needed to be made because Catra was with her, and no one could take that away from them.

Least of all herself.

“Hey,” Catra said, brow furrowing in concern. She carefully moved the both of them up into sitting positions. “Are you okay? What’s wrong? Wait, are you crying?!” Her voice got more frantic with each question, and she took one of Adora’s hands in her own. “Talk to me.”

Adora reached up with her free hand to touch her face, surprised to find it streaked with tears. She didn’t remember starting to cry. “‘Talk to me’,” she found herself repeating, warmth blossoming in her chest. “You and Perfuma have been working on healthy communication strategies, haven’t you?”

Catra flushed. “I - yeah, maybe” She shook her head. “Dammit, Adora, stop deflecting! I asked about you.”

“I…” Adora hesitated, her free hand dropping to rest on the rooftop. She sighed. “I don’t know.”

“Oh, come on,” Catra scoffed. “You think I’m buying that?”

“I don’t know,” Adora insisted, pushing the hair that had fallen free from her ponytail behind her ear. “I’m just” - she silently cursed as she felt herself getting choked up - “so happy, because I love you and I want you to always be with me and now - now there’s no war that can take us away from each other. I’m… I’m allowed to want you, and to want to be with you. Although that probably makes no sense.” She swallowed the lump in her throat, wiping her tears away with her sleeve. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to kill the mood.”

Catra’s pupils had gone wide, and after a long pause she responded by pressing a fiery kiss to her lips, an unexpected reaction but certainly not an unpleasant one. Adora wasn’t complaining. “Say that again,” Catra mumbled against Adora’s lips. “Say that you want me.”

Adora almost had to fight to break away from the kiss, panting slightly from the intensity. “I want you,” she whispered, pushing her girlfriend’s bangs out of her face. The sincerity in her voice would have normally been terrifying but with Catra she wanted nothing more than to be completely honest. “I want you to be with me for the rest of my life. I want to be selfish. I want to be the only one who gets to call you mine.” She pressed a kiss to Catra’s face between each wish, moving from her nose to her cheek to back to her lips.

Catra’s confidence had long since been replaced by a crimson blush, which Adora did not mind, as flustered was a look she always loved to see on her girlfriend. “You know,” she muttered, leaning in to press their foreheads together, “I didn’t mean for you to start reciting wedding vows to me.”

Adora couldn’t help but laugh. “You know what a wedding is?”

“Mostly. Spinnerella explained it to me.”

“I bet that was an entertaining conversation.”

“Ugh. Netossa seemed to think so.”

Adora absentmindedly stroked Catra’s hair. She’d be lying if she hadn’t thought about marriage. Not much, obviously, because she’d been fighting a war her entire life, but the idea had crossed her mind once or twice. In some ways, a ceremony felt superficial, but being able to share such a blissful moment with friends and the immortalization of a relationship that came with it…

“We should get married,” she decided.

Catra sat bolt upright, pupils wide in surprise and face red in shock. “We should what?”

“Get married,” she repeated. “I want to be with you, you want to be with me. It would be a nice way to make things official, wouldn’t it?”

“Adora, we’re like - we’re not even 20,” Catra sputtered, her ears going flat to her head as her blush deepened. “I mean, I love you more than anything, but aren’t we - aren’t we kind of young?”

Adora could feel her own face turning pink in response as her brain finally caught up with the words that had been leaving her lips. “I - I didn’t mean now!” she stammered, desperately trying to figure out how to rephrase her thoughts. “I just meant, like, eventually, when we’re way older and after we’ve travelled around the entire universe restoring magic and… stuff…” She trailed off, and for a moment they just stared at each other, both too embarrassed to speak.

Catra was the first to break, losing herself in a fit of giggles as she leaned forward to press their foreheads together again. “Of course I’ll marry you one day, dummy. Then no one will ever doubt how much you want me.”

Adora flushed, but she couldn’t stop a happy smile from dancing on her lips. “Sorry that was such a weird proposal.”

“Everything you do is weird. I’m used to it.”

Adora laughed, pressing a light kiss to the top of her girlfriend’s nose. “Good.” Then an idea occurred. A brilliant idea, if she said so herself. Which she did. “So, until then…” She unpinned the golden wing from her belt before carefully attaching it to the left side of Catra’s shirt. “Just so everyone knows how much I love you.”

“More like how possessive you are,” Catra scoffed, though she was smiling as her hand brushed over the pin. “But I guess I’m in no place to say anything about that.”

Adora pressed a chaste kiss to her girlfriend’s lips. “You definitely are not.” She kissed her again, this time catching only the corner of her mouth. “But I love you anyways. I want you. And I’ll make sure you never forget it.”

Catra began purring happily, the deep vibration only intensifying as Adora continued to pepper her face with kisses. “If this is your way of reminding me, I don’t see how I ever could.”

Adora started to laugh, but was soon cut off by Catra’s lips crashing against her own, her girlfriend pushing her down against the rooftop.

You deserve love, too.

Adora knew she would continue to struggle with Mara’s words. She knew she would continue to have difficulty grasping how love was freely given and required no sacrifice in return. But she also knew she was getting there. One day at a time.

And the best part?

Catra would always be at her side. Every step of the way.

Arthur, Ezio, and your OC's: Manoj and Lewis for the HC thing

Arthur:

Sexuality: I’m torn between him being bisexual or a really repressed gay

Gender: I say cis, but also @ clickbaitcowboy drew him as trans and that hit hard and stuck with me so..

Ship: I like him with kieran or Charles

NOTP: Dutch, John, Hosea, Bill, Micah

Random HC: he rides big horses almost exclusively. He’s really fond of big draft horses, they’re big gentle giants, and he can relate to them (workhorse of the gang after all)

General opinion: My favorite video game main character of all time? Very possibly

Cut for length :)

Ezio:

Sexuality: my mans got that chaotic bisexual energy

Gender: cis

Ship: I don’t really ship him with anyone. I can see him with Leonardo but I’m not too invested

BROTP: Him and his older brother. That rooftop moment before shit went down? Touching as hell

NOTP: I’ll be honest I don’t really know who people ship him with besides Leonardo, I haven’t played enough to form any opinions.

Random HC: he’s really kind to prostitutes and beats the shit out of any assholes that harass them

General Opinion: I like him well enough, I don’t know as much about him as I want to. I can only play assassins creed games for short bursts before I get too frustrated lol

Manoj:

Sexuality: I’d say he’s bi, and he heavily prefers men for the most part

Gender: he’s a binary trans man

Ship: his dead husband that isn’t even an actual oc yet. And... y’all do not @ me but,,, joseph.... its just weird tension unless it’s au tho (and oh boy do I have a mental au but y’all ain’t gonna see that anytime soon agshdj)

BROTP: This is a cop out but, Boomer? Knows all Manoj’s deepest secrets.

NOTP: Faith, John, Jacob, Grace

Random HC: He’s a dad and widower. a few years before fc5, his husband died. He actually carried their kid, Ananda, himself, and she’s ~10 during fc5 and staying with his sister and her family.

General opinion: I wasn’t going to make a deputy oc, but here we are with Manoj being one of my muses now agdhd. Second favorite oc, would love to have the motivation to write fic for him

Lewis:

Sexuality: he’s gay, but he’s much too insecure to label himself as such. Luckily it doesn’t come up much

Gender: binary trans man

Ship: Ortega and only ever Ortega.

BROTP: Lewis and Chen gradually starting to get along and understanding each others trauma? yeah.

NOTP: I’m serious, only ever Ortega for Lewis. However, I am particularly noped out of him ever even remotingly romancing Herald. He views him very much as a much younger person than him.

Random HC: He keeps it close to the chest, but he really does grieve not having a parental figure. 

General opinion: Lewis is my baby, my favored son, my muse, love him to actual death, and if I ever somehow forget him I’d be a lil bit of a different person

Send a “🙌” and I’ll introduce you to an NPC related to my Muse. 

Meet Montgomery Joesph McCoy

Monty is the oldest out of Micah and their siblings. He really isn’t around much but he does make up for it with his gifts every time.  Growing up he wasn’t even all that close to his brother. Safe to say work keeps Montgomery away from his brother’s work on his nephew.

[matteredloyaltyaa]

anon asked: 11. What do you hate about your muse?

muse related questions for the mun -- still accepting

3 key things: 

1. Arthur’s loyalty, in a way. 

I figure he’s a very loyal and trusted person in camp and to those he is close to, but at the same time it’s the loyalty to camp that shuts him up on standing up for things he views as wrong or not in line with what they stand for. He hates the debting, and will actively criticize Strauss at points, but ultimately he does it as long as Dutch agrees that they will be taking their funds from the business. I figure it’s something he has done for quite some time, he knows how that system works and what to expect from Strauss. He doesn’t trust Micah, has seen him and took part in the murder of a whole town trying to get him out of jail so he could get his guns. A number of times you can witness how terrible he is. He complains about it, but doesn’t really argue Dutch on why he’s keeping him around and once he does, Dutch’s already bought into Micah’s mess. That’s not wholly on Arthur, but he bites his tongue on a lot of things when he actively tells himself he doesn’t enjoy doing them, but because of his loyalty and, I would say, duty to the gang, he shuts up about it. 

2. Arthur thinks, but he doesn’t think for himself. 

As much as I agree that he does dumb things, I think Arthur’s not as much of a dumbass people make him out to be. I would say he has a great memory, he’s insightful, and he can grasp things that undermine his “dumb brute” act. However, Arthur really uses that a lot as a crutch in order to avoid really speaking his mind. It drops a little more later in the game, but ultimately he just kind of shrugs off most conversations where someone asks him a tough question, falling back on a “well I don’t know/I don’t think much anyway” in place of an answer. When it comes to the downfall of the game, he tends to keep the red flags he sees to himself and kind of gives non-answers to anybody who brings them up to him. Honestly, it infuriated me at points later in the game until he started talking back more, and this can certainly be tied to the issue above. 

3. His defensiveness.

Arthur’s kind of an asshole. Honestly, throughout Colter and early Horseshoe Overlook, I was pretty concerned that I actually wouldn’t like playing as him because of how he carried himself. The treatment of Kieran well beyond the point of knowing he isn’t a threat to them (and AFTER he had saved his life and numerous attempts by Kieran himself to say he wasn’t a threat. Which, again, could be tied to what’s said above in Arthur rather sticking with his grudge with the O’Driscolls instead of forming his own opinion of him.) Really, I feel one of Arthur’s biggest flaws, outside of the ones listed above, is his defensiveness. Arthur is very quick to back up his own decisions by pointing out how someone has done worse than him if he can find reason to (and his humor will not let someone live down a mistake sometimes). He is fully capable to own up to his mistakes, but if criticism is coming from someone he doesn’t know or like, it may take an extra voice before he’d back off. Embarrassment can really make that prominent, too.

❤️🎵 WERM?

❤ : What are your muse’s thoughts on love? If they are not in a relationship, do they believe that they will ever find a perfect someone for them?

considering the majority of these OCs are teenagers, i don’t think i can answer super in-depth and like...why would i make them dislike the thought of loving someone else? they all eventually find someone and don’t want any of them to think they are unlovable or experience trauma related to relationships...you know?

Wheatley: when he’s first introduced I don’t think he’s ever really crushed on anyone before but he’s probably thought about relationships but not like, super seriously. kinda like “oh it would be nice” but he’s not stressed about it, he has other things to worry about...but when he does get a crush? he falls pretty hard.

Micah: Also isn’t too focused on finding anyone but of course it sounds nice. this is so hard to answer because he’s 16...most of them are 16 and yeah i was 16 and in a relationship once but like...hello? go focus on college apps or something.

Esther: same exact thing as the boys, but she’ll openly admit she doesn’t have time for a relationship.  

Rome: probably has some difficult feelings towards love and being in a relationship after [spoilers] (you know ani, but lmao no spoilers), but she tries but when we first meet her she’s in a bad place and probably doesn’t stay in relationships for long, i don’t think she’s lost hope or anything, but she’s just...having a rough time.

♬ : Does your muse sing well? Regardless of whether they sing well or not, do they enjoy singing?

Wheatley: Probably not...for both. He usually hums or whistles along, but he isn’t much of a singer

Micah: He’s probably the best singer out of the group and yes, he loves to sing!

Esther: She can sing but I don’t think she like, super enjoys it. she’ll sing along to songs while she’s alone, but its one thing she isn’t super confident about.

Rome: Cannot sing but that does not stop her.

2019.

I’m no where near this open in reality, but typing behind a screen of internet anonymity has given me a quiet surge of confidence to hold myself accountable and has helped me cope with some of the worst pain I’ve felt in a long time. 2019 was a really hard year for me: from being tossed around by shitty guys who only used and rejected me (a giant fuck you and thank you to the following: Eric, Hunter, Michael, Derek, Micah, and Jareth. You all taught me how to value myself more than the half-assed “love” you were giving me in the forms of manipulation, laziness, replacing your “meaningful” relationship with the throwaway “me”, anxiety, shallowness, and boxing me in as a rebound and not caring about me as a person, just a means to a fucking end.), getting in a car wreck and having to foot hospital bills of over thousands of dollars, being treated poorly by my coworkers at my job, being a recent college grad and trying to make it on my own, losing some of my closest friends, having some really tough conversations with my family about my severe depression, dodging three stalkers, and surviving some of the most incredulous pain I’ve ever felt physically and emotionally, I can honestly look back on it and can say it sucked major fucking balls. But the growth I’ve made after learning to pick myself up again? I’m starting to see how it’s all worth it.

There were so many days where I just couldn’t find the energy to smile, to get up out of bed, to enjoy my life from when things were just hitting me so hard one after another. I stopped going to out of work hangouts with my coworkers and became an empty shell at work for almost three full months because everything was a trigger (seven times I had to take hour long unpaid breaks to sit in my car to sob and come down from anxiety attacks). I skirted out of every commitment I made with my friends because faking it was too hard and people don’t like to hang around with the ghosts of someone they knew. I stopped painting because I couldn’t find a purpose or pleasure in it anymore (I’m an artist, specializing in encaustic surrealist painting and losing myself also had meant losing my creative muse). I stopped eating for days at a time because nothing that passed my lips had a flavor, until my sister would force me to eat again. I hated who I was and just sort of gave up on everything and everyone, all the while of not giving a shit. This was a new low for me and I couldn’t find the will to put any effort in anymore.

So this is me trying. This is me trying to be better than my 2019 self. This is my trying to accept all of me. I mean, fuck..every day it’s been two steps forward and one step back on literally everything and all my damaging habits, but all I can focus on is that I’m trying to move forward with my life, right? Making tiny improvements every day to try to get it right? It’s no fucking cakewalk I give you that, and nearly everyone can relate to it in their own way.

My journey is no where near finished, but I’ve learned to lean on my friends and family. I’ve learned to ask for help when I need it. I’ve learned to stick up for myself and find my voice when I need to. I’ve learned to let the toxic men in my life go. I’ve recognized my eating disorder habits and have been trying to overcome them without needing the validation of my body image from other people. That’s why I started this tumblr Catharsim: it’s one of the ways I’ll hold my feelings accountable and reflect on how I view myself and others. To release all the thoughts in my heart and head (happy, negative, melancholic, hurt, etc). So if you’re still reading this fucking book of a caption right now, I want to thank you and wish that your 2020 is a year full of growth and acceptance, and that you find your own peaceful catharsism.

Hi, I love your work so far! Would you be willing to write how Arthur, Dutch, and Hosea (in a platonic/father figure context for him specifically) would react if a female reader decided to cut her hair really short to a typically male length? If not, no worries, and thanks for your writing all the same :)

This is so relatable because rightbefore entering university I freaked out and cut my hair really short — like,right above the ears kind of short — and everyone said I looked like a butchlesbian or a submissive anime guy. Regrets? None.

Arthur

“Well, look at you. Think ya might’veforgotten somethin’ back at Valentine, didn’t ya?,” Arthur joked, helping youoff your horse, that playful light in his eyes as you batted at his shoulder, “lookingamazing, sweetheart.”

Thought it was a bit odd at the beginning,but quickly grew on the idea — he liked playing with your locks of hair way toomuch, but running his hand through your short hair felt… better. It feels a bitmore intimate, in a way.

Has started drawing your profile waymore, he thinks the hair has accentuated your features and he’s hoping tocapture that on paper — also, it’s an excuse to whisk you away from camp dutyto spend time with him. Everybody wins, right?

Will definitely punch anyone dumb enough to talk shit aboutyour new haircut.

Arthur likes ruffling up your hairwhenever you’re within an arm’s reach and distracted enough, just for kicks.You think his lil smirk when you try to hit him for it is adorable, though.

Dutch

Is absolutely smitten by your newlook.

“My dear, you look lovely! A Muse ofinspiration, a goddess of beauty; Aphrodite herself must be weeping by now!,”Dutch exclaimed, cupping your cheeks once you’re back in camp from your trip toValentine with the girls. “You look stunning!”

He secretly enjoys your new haircutway more than he should, for it makes you seem… more innocent in his eyes. It’sa wicked thing, but he’s a wicked man; it’s not like Dutch can help it.

Your hair is shorter, but that doesn’tmean he’ll stop pulling at it when you’re being intimate. Is absolutely amazedby the utter debauchery of it all; especially the way you look afterwards, hairsticking up to every direction, lips swollen and face slack with satisfaction.

Makes sure to compliment you infront of every single gang member, fishing for praises and compliments. Helikes showing you off as much as he likes having you beside him.

Is totally gonna nuzzle into yourneck when you’re in his tent sleeping. Totally enjoys the better access.

Hosea

Ultra supportive and protective dadHosea.

Was probably there with you when youdecided to cut your hair — he was the first person you commented about yourwishes with. Didn’t say a word to the barber, but smiled reassuringly when itwas done.

“Now, it looks real nice! It doesmake you seem more adultish, I have to admit — but it suits you really well,darling.”

Won’t take anyone’s shitty commentsabout your new haircut — especially Micah’s, who he keeps sending foul lookswhenever you’re near.

Offers himself to keep your hairtrimmed, if you want. He has cut Arthur’s hair so many times when the man wasyounger he had picked up a few tricks here and there — and the length youchoose certainly helps.

Can’t stop the little smile at thecorner of his lips whenever he catches sight of you about camp, thinking on howthey all grow fast. Maybe he is gettingsoft with age.

clownvillage asked : ♛ -thespiteful!

send me a url and i'll tell you the following / @thespiteful​ -- always accepting

my opinion on;

character in general: I really like how they write Micah! It’s refreshing to see an anti-hero take on him! I know Sean & him have a hateful sort of banter in our threads but I lowkey love these little banters they have back and forth. Especially the haunted house one! ( which we can continue if you want to ! ) how they play them: Really well! They seem to have done a lot of work on him, as this can be seen through the little details in their writing, the added depth to his backstory, & with what I see for Francis.  the mun: We have talked off and on, mostly about rp related stuff, but I enjoy talking to them regardless! Really nice & good at communicating with plots and such!

do i;

follow them: yes! rp with them: yes! want to rp with them: absolutely! ship their character with mine: not with Micah, unless you count the little enemy/hateship, but we were talking about Sean & Lyell!

what is my;

overall opinion: I really enjoy their blog, their content, and their writing! I know I’ve been behind on threads with Micah & their other muses, but I enjoy the interactions between Sean & them. I hope they are as enjoyable to them lmao.  I also am a really big fan of their art! Feel free to hmu if you want to talk some more! Really all of my other muses are open to inteact as well, as a few other muses of mine has a rdr2 verse.

**Note: Mun’s answer are all to be completely honest. Don’t send url if you don’t want brutal honesty.
