#sorry for posting all these little snippets i've been bitter all day

I'm sorry but it's textbook Star Wars that putting one person above the entire galaxy is a dark side move.

hiii ! if you aren't swarmed with asks,

🍻: What's your OC's favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day?

🍟: What does your OC admit to be their guilty pleasure? What actually is their guilty pleasure?

for Ny?

Hello! I have been busy hyperfocusing on an AU fic (to be released soon lol) But I do always appreciate that you send me asks about Nyenna. They make my day! Sorry it took so long to get back to you <3 Without further ado:

ODD OC asks for Nyenna from my fic The World on Our Shoulders!

ask game is here.

🍻: What's your OC's favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day?

Nyenna is generally bombarded with busy days that are often unideal. She finds herself in trouble more often than not. (Whose fault could that be I wonder? :>) You'd think she'd have a hobby of some kind to wind down about. And in some ways, she used to before she was constantly traveling. She stress bakes, which I've mentioned before, whenever she gets the chance. Cooking in general, though, allows her mind to focus on the next step, then the next one and it's easier to bear than spinning anxious thoughts.

Perhaps in an ideal world where things maybe weren't so stressful, she'd live that normal NPC life she'd been meaning to live all along. If things had been different, maybe she'd never bothered to learn so much about her magic. She'd never have been the Dragonborn. Then maybe she'd have had the time to consider hobbies in general. She's pretty decent at art and singing and storytelling. Maybe she'd have ended up moving to Solitude to become a bard. That'd have been a twist! 🍟: What does your OC admit to be their guilty pleasure? What actually is their guilty pleasure?

(I'm gonna take this in the context of a thing that's seen as a waste of time but the character enjoys indulging.)

Nyenna, before people actually begin to recognize who she is, really enjoyed listening to the bards exaggerate the tales of her deeds. She'd laugh about them as part of the audience while everyone around her thought she was just any other patron. She'd never bother to correct them either. I have a snippet with a small comment on the matter from chapter 22, which was just posted last week :>

“Everything still okay, sera?” Geldis asked, glancing sidelong at where Teldryn had just been. He took her empty mug and handed her a fresh one. This time it was canis root tea, which was a little strange, though she was getting used to it. More of an acquired taste, really – somewhat bitter and not all that fragrant. It needed to be finely ground to brew into a dark infusion. It tasted better with milk, but she’d learned that was an expensive import here on the island. She knew it was best not to flaunt that kind of money. Granted, nobody was here yet. Or so she thought. She caught the edge of motion as if someone was walking around in Geldis’s rooms behind the bar and kitchens. She thought she saw a flash of tan fabric, like the hem of a shirt, but maybe she was seeing things. “You mean with Teldryn?” Nyenna said, tearing her gaze away. Geldis nodded. “As I said before. Nothing like that. He’s just a bit of an idiot, is all.” She waved her hand dismissively. Geldis snorted. “A s’wit if I ever saw one, yes,” Geldis agreed heartily. Nyenna laughed into her tea. “But he’s good at his job, credit where credit’s due. He told me about the mine before you sat down for breakfast. You’re going there today?” “Yes. Before my current situation, I hunted for artifacts. We’ll be going down there to help one of Teldryn’s acquaintances recover items his ancestor lost,” Nyenna said. Geldis grinned hugely. He knew something. Nyenna was immediately suspicious. She sighed. “He told you, didn’t he?” “He did. Is it a secret?” Geldis asked, though he couldn’t hide the utter joy written all over his face at this point. Nyenna shook her head. “Not so much a secret as a wish to preserve as much peace and quiet as possible while I still can,” she said wistfully. “It’s actually kind of fun to hear the bards tell all these tall tales about me. For the record, the dragon souls aren’t tangible things, though I can see why describing them like choice cuts of meat makes for a good Nordic story.” Geldis laughed as he wiped down the bar. “Nords and their ridiculous stories,” Geldis agreed. Nyenna chuckled, too.

She fully admits to indulging this LOL even if it is a bit ridiculous :>

Here's another snippet from Teldryn's POV a tad bit earlier to show just a little extra about how extra these bard songs can be.

“Geldis?” Teldryn called. The grumpy Mer made a bored, somewhat annoyed sound from the kitchens where he was working on cooking breakfast. “Can you tell me the version of the Dragonborn story you heard the other day? You mentioned the bard said they’re really a fair-haired lady.” Geldis walked out of the kitchens and dried his hands on the towel he kept tucked into the pocket of his apron. “He sang that loud, barbaric-sounding Nordic song first, you know the one – ‘and the Scrolls have foretold, of black wings in the cold’ and on and on,” Geldis said with a snort. Teldryn nodded and continued drinking his tea while the barkeep continued. “But then he went on to talk about knowing a few people who’d seen her. The way he described her was this great, legendary fighter. He said she’d stabbed a live dragon to death with two swords in Kynesgrove and then ate its soul. I asked what her name was, and he didn’t know. Just that she was a fair-haired beauty, the pride of Skyrim – about as poetic as expected.”

(: Hope these were fun answers for you, and thanks for sending me such awesome questions!

bh used to always be so excited about releasing new songs and wanting to spoil them, so this is just so disheartening. the members not saying or posting anything speaks volumes about it too. we cant even enjoy the last few days with them and say goodbye..

yes exactly the only thing pd101 did for them was give the group the exposure to show themselves. and that producer who went to jail because of the rigging who revealed that bh had an anxiety attack on the street?? and then try and say he WANTED to be rigged out after they revealed he was supposed to be in w1? and gosh dont get me started on those solo fans, the hate all the members got was absolutely ridiculous. the boys can barely have any peace.

i have no clue why, even if pledis sucks id much rather their name be under them.

ahh yea idk why they were always left out of things, nuest was the only group who didnt get a seasons greetings after the merger and they were the only one who didnt get added to the company's rhythm game as well. like why are they always getting ignored??

sorry i was gone for a few days so i'm barely getting to this now!!

in retrospect, the shift after the merger is too real like all the album promos they had after their p101 run and they clearly have the songs to release too but all that...just. gone ;_; ahhh exactly!! it has been all quiet, the only time we've gotten to hear from them were those letters everything is just so sad

since i'm replying late, everything has been released now...i'm too scared to watch the mv and listen to the song, i saw a snippet of the lyrics through the reddit comments while browsing and i already tears up ;____; will try to work up the courage to do watch it later tonight or tomorrow i just really can't believe it's the last, it's coming to an end..

also mini rant/ i was planning on getting this album, just because i've never bought a nu'est album before and this is the final one i feel like i should get it but with how everything went down, with how clearly rushed it looks, how little effort was given to them not just for this "goodbye" album but for basically their entire existence together....the album would be such a bitter buy like just having it and looking at it's white cover ugh...i might still get it anyways but i don't know!!! i'm so on the fence!! it's like buy it to support the boys like, yes we're here LOVEs are still here going strong even if it's the end we love you always, but buying it doesn't change anything....getting good numbers for this album won't magically un-disband them....pledis and **** will still not care AND they get a cut of the sales anyways

p101 really saved them but it's like should i even be thankful to that cursed show, everything else about it was terrible, the rigging, the editing, the drama, i'm grateful they got the best thing they could out of it which was positive exposure and a loving fanbase but god the journey relating to that show is a mess, the solo stans were absolute hell like please just have a normal bias like everyone else smh always doing the most with all of the hate towards the other members

omg seriously??? he really tried and claim all of that happened?? what is wrong with him god he's sick i never caught that part of news because i really just hated the mess that surrounded it, just remembered seeing that he went to jail in the end and i moved on, he's such a terrible human being jfc

exactly and it would make more sense to have it under pledis since that's where they debut like what...8-9 years ago? like why does pledis not even have the rights to their name lmao

huh??? they didn't get a season's greeting either??? omg i'm so out of it i didn't even know that....seriously why are they treated like that...it's not like they don't have fans...it doesn't make sense to just leave them out of things especially when the company gets a cut of the revenue too like you don't want money either?? and ugh that rhythm game, i saw it in my app store the other day i have no idea when they added seventeen, was it not recent? if it wasn't then they could've added nu'est around the same time too but if it's more recent then well. seems like they've been wanting to kick nu'est out for a while now we just didn't realize but they've truly received nothing 🙄🙄 IM SO BITTER

that cursed rhythm game, i might be more annoyed at that game's existence than the average person because as an (ex) dalcom supporter i had a big problem with how b**h** handled the remainder of their contract with dalcom and the superstar bts game 2 years ago, i think i might have deleted my own personal post of it from my blog but if anyone is curious about what i'm talking about, i've dug up the reddit post (also filled with people discussing said company's greedy tendencies and upon other things...)

i think superstar bts, superstar pledis, and superstar gfriend are the only dalcom games that have shut down so far if memory serves me right lol i have a hard time keeping track of their games now because they've made way too many (for gfriend it was because of their disbandment...the other two were for...other reasons open to interpretation)
