rinhime + 4

ask game

…where it hurts.

---

Rinne slid into the booth where HiMERU had been sitting, trying to enjoy a quiet lunch in Cafe Cinnamon with a stupid grin on his face.

"Heyyyyy Merumeru," he started, HiMERU already rolling his eyes and getting ready to leave. "Hey! Don't treat your poor old Rinne-kun like that! You don't even know why I'm here!"

HiMERU sat back down and looked Rinne in the eyes. "It doesn't take a detective to figure out that you're looking for some cash or something equally stupid."

"Ouch, Merumeru. Ah, but I can't deny that this time."

HiMERU raised an eyebrow. "Please enlighten HiMERU."

"Well y'see I sprained my wrist yesterday and I was hoping you'd work some of your magic and kiss it better?"

HiMERU was unsure how to respond to that.

"HiMERU is not your mother and refuses to do something so... He advises Amagi to just put some ice on it."

"Pwease Merumeru, for poor Rinne-kun?" Rinne had pulled out the puppy dog eyes and the way he flinched as he clasped his hands together didn't escape HiMERU's gaze.

"Fine, if that's what it will take for you to leave HiMERU alone, he will do it. Hold out your hand."

Rinne cheered and offered up the sprained hand, which HiMERU took in his own and brought Rinne's inner wrist to his lips. Rinne's face lit up at the action and HiMERU could feel his own doing the same before he dropped Rinne's hand back to the table.

"This is ridiculous and HiMERU has work to do. Goodbye, Amagi."

i check out and read a lot of these books for free via my local library by using the libby app (you can even add your friends' library cards to gain access to libraries in places you don't live). when i'm feeling like reading via audiobook, i use libro fm!

look, no one HAS TO read diversely. no one is going to be reverse fahrenheit 451'd and locked in a room with no fanfic and only books and not let out until they work their way through the entire literary canon. but reading, and reading widely, and reading diversely, is what teaches people to form their own opinions and question the things they are told. it's why they hang up stuff like "READ READ READ!!" in grade school classrooms.

we live under systems that increasingly benefit from going unquestioned. no, of course reading ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE by robin hobb is not going to dismantle these systems tomorrow, nor probably even in our lifetimes. but doing it will help set up a world capable of doing it in the future. and until further notice, we are all part of this wretched world. might as well read a good story while we're here.

anyway, i'm reading THE WEST PASSAGE by jared pechaček and the new cmq book this week.

28 + 29

ask game

28: What would you say is your specialty in writing?

hmm..... with fanfic i think people tend to like my characterization a lot which is something i put a lot of work into getting right which. involves a lot of reading and a lot of trial and error sometimes, but its something i enjoy a lot anyway and i'm glad it shows :3

29: Do you listen to music while you write? If so, what kind?

Sometimes but its nothing in particular. Sometimes it'll be the character playlist sometimes its one song on repeat for three hours sometimes its my discover weekly sometimes its just whatever comes up, and sometimes i'll write with horrible video essays in the background.

[starswallowingsea]

🏳️‍🌈 crazyb go

Was gonna wait til i got home to answer this but I'm bored at work so.

Rinne: genderfluid but nothing changes. Sometimes you might notice a change in how he refers to himself but literally you have to guess what his gender is on a daily basis. Sexuality is whatever Niki is. Bi but the only bitch he gets is Niki and sometimes Meru.

Niki: trans man but doesn't care that much. He has other things to worry about.

Meru: Gendervoid but a man if you ask. Sexuality is ???? And he doesnt have to think about it bc hes supposed to be perfect.

Haku: His gender is gay and his sexuality is also gay. Didnt really have exposure to the outside world so doesnt think its weird that he calls his best friend Love all the time. Literally just hanging out.

Also all 4 of them are aro/arospec but thats a given because I like them and all my faves are arospec

Corrain de Fortemps (formerly Gealai)

Nicknames: Corr, "you little shit"

Age: 16 at ARR start, 22 at the end of Endwalker

Birthday: He doesn't know for sure - he was abandoned at an orphanage in Gridania as a newborn. Sometime in winter.

Race: Keeper of the Moon, Miqo'te

Gender: Trans man. He had to pick a name alienated from Keeper traditions on transitioning because he didn't know his bio mother, and well. The caretakers of the orphanage he grew up in were never close with a poacher's kit.

Orientation: Gay

Profession: Warrior of Light, weaver and gardener on the side. Field researcher and adventurer at heart.

Physical Aspects

Hair: Long, straight, and white as the greater moon. Usually pulled back into a single plaited ponytail that falls to his shoulderblades. Messy bangs around his face

Eyes: Bright silver, with that catlike pupil that turns round in the dark

Skin: warm and pale, with peach and gold undertones. Flushes as red as a Maelstrom jacket when he's embarrassed. Facial Markings: At the inner corners of his eyes, and a single dark spot in the center of his forehead. A target for flicking.

Tattoos: Tattoos at the outer corners of his eyes, curling on his cheeks. He tattoos them a darker shade of blue every time he loses someone. They go from pale sky blue when he's an apprentice conjurer to deepest black by the end of Endwalker. Scars: Myriad little ones, but only two worth talking about. One an angry, ropy white line carving up through his abdomen the bottom of his chest, courtesy of Zenos- in Rhalgr's Reach. The second a ragged patch of once-torn flesh, knotted and raised across the small of his back above his tail - a scythe blade, stuck into his spine and ripped furiously free at the end of all things. From Zenos, in Ultima Thule. He never walks quite right again

Family

Parents: Edmont de Fortemps - by adoption when he was seventeen, and more importantly, by his own choice. He does not know his biological family, and does not know if he wishes to find them.

Siblings: Artoirel de Fortemps, Emmanelain de Fortemps, and Haurchefant Greystone. Elder brothers dear and treasured to him, forever. Lelesu Lesu - an all-but-sister and best friend, a soul-deep bond that has transcended reincarnations.

Others: His partners, Hades and G'raha Tia, one a flame eons old now lit anew, the other a fresh, dewy thing still unfurling rose petals. And his platonic partner Hythlodaeus, from ages past. And then Lelesu again, who is sister and friend and the other half of him - some things cannot be defined but by unconditional love.

Skills

Abilities: The dark rage of a Dark Knight, calling on his own pain as a weapon. The quiet ferocity of a Ninja, Doma's knife-work serving him well in close combat. And the blinding Light of a White Mage, a skill in magic from before the Sundering, a capacity for healing he ignores at his own peril. And then the Echo- his manifestation of it a cacophony near-impossible to block out, the past clamoring for his attention- and with that inability to look away from the sound of memory, a synesthesia of soul-colors

Hobbies: Gardening - in both growing plants from seed and discovering new ones growing wild. Weaving - conspiring with Tataru to make clothes for everyone, and weaving the cloth from scratch himself. Reading - anything and everything. He taught himself his letters at thirteen, and will always feel triumph when the words flow freely. Pranking - mostly Lelesu. He gets zapped for his trouble. And most of all- Traveling, as much as he can before there's no time left.

Traits

Most positive trait(s): His gentleness, and his stubbornness. He does all he can to keep these traits strong and polished, and pointed in the correct directions. He's the type to mourn a dying enemy, to spend the aether to ease their pain. He's the type to refuse to kill, to refuse to break, to bullheadedly plow through a problem until it collapses in on itself. He will not abandon hope or friends or the innocent - he will shatter himself (and has) before he does so. Good traits- as long as he aims correctly.

Worst negative trait(s): His cruelty, and his rage. Gentleness is not always kindness, and when Corrain's temper ignites friend and foe alike will be burnt by the blaze. He can cut deeper with words than any knife, and he'll do it seething with fury, with hate, and there will be no room for consideration. He will have to burn himself out entirely before the embers cool to the ash of guilt - and then he will have to make sure he does not choke on the apologies.

Likes

Colors: purples of all hues, the deep evergreen of trees, and blues the color of a dark lake.

Smells: the musk of old paper and creaking leather, honeysuckle, the sad sweetness of Nymeia lilies

Textures: supple leather and soft cotton, and the cloud-like softness of Lelesu's hair. Heavy quilts of fleece as well.

Drinks: coffee and tea in equal measure, fresh-squeezed apple juice from Coerthan apples.

Other Details

Smokes: no. It smells too bad

Drinks: yes, to cope - and likely too often. He doesn't want to remember, sometimes.

Drugs: Does catnip count? It's not even as strong as cannabis- or so he claims. Maybe a few times a year.

Mount Issuance: Haurchefant's gift to him, a soft black chocobo that he names Snowball. She's a feisty but spoiled pet in many ways, but he's her willing treat dispenser and there was never a chocobo more affectionate. Then Twilight, a yol wrestled into submission on the Azim Steppe, a wide pair of wings and a stern glare. He's less a pet, more a partner, and while he will forever answer Corrain's whistle- he knows he is expected to fly free.

Been Arrested: At least twice outside of the bloody Banquet. Not for starting fights- but finishing them. Things are usually cleared up quickly. And perhaps just once because he'd gotten a little *too* mellow after Haurchefant's death and- well, son, while we understand the loss you are only eighteen. You've got three years until this is legal - in Coerthas, at least. Come on now.
