step back
Usually, you're able to bottle up your emotions and ignore the frustrations. But, after weeks of shoving everything down, your body needs a release, and I pity the poor person who managed to piss you off. It's screaming crying, shouting, kicking lockers, whatever you can do to get it out of your system. It's a whole jean grey moment, fire and fury blasting out of you.

today is my muse’s birthday. no plans* were made because that would be OOC for all ben OC variants and modern!ben would like everyone to know he’s a troll his parents found under a bridge in Central Park and that isn’t a weird Don Bluth reference.
*but we’ll answer all memes/shenanigans received because mun takes great joy in fictional character birthdays/other people’s birthdays/ruining own muse's day.

you are a character in a story, what kiss trope is destined to be in your narrative?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
╰☆╮The Now or Never Kiss
The Last Kiss? No, it's not the last, but the characters don't know that. Death appears imminent — the temperature is rising, the room is filling up with water, the plane is about to hit the ground, the rope they're dangling from is about to break and drop them off the cliff, the room is on fire and the door's locked, the world is coming to an end... The point is, this is no place for unresolved sexual tension. The Not-A-Couple don't want to go out without revealing how they really feel. It's now or never. They kiss. This can also be 'Now or Maybe Never' kiss; one or both are heading into danger, or likely-potential death.

tell me about your muse's ace pokemon. which one is it? how did your muse get them? is there any specific attack or technique they use? tell me anything!
Tumblr media
His ace (at least for now) is Furret which he had as a Sentret. The way he got it wasn’t that special, Carmine caught it for him when he was small (although she acted smug about it) and he appreciated the gesture so kept it with him at all times. As for a specific move he would use is dig, it does suit him for an example he would like to dig a hole and hide in to avoid talking to people and it does have a use in strategising so there’s that.

Application
It’s said that most people are too used to their reflection in a mirror to recognize their actual face.
This is true.
It had happened so many times that logic would dictate it would continue to happen, that they could take the shape of a stranger and the stranger had to squint and tilt their head at them, grasping at what was so familiar it became unfamiliar. Voices, too, were heard through flesh and bone rather than air from one’s own throat. People often couldn’t recognize those right away either.
They could not blame people for this. They wouldn’t know their prior face either.
Once, they had seen it on a mosaic, depicting the Eight Heroes. Of all the tiled, glorious, ancient faces, they could not distinguish who they had been. History turned people into figurines, identifiable by their symbols, their relics. No, the answer was no longer in the face of what was once human, only in the tome they still possessed.
Rather, the tome that had possessed them.
What shape did water take when outside of a glass? They were like this until they pulled themselves into something resembling what they saw, holding onto a new heartbeat for just a little longer. They neither liked or disliked the sensation. It simply was.
The world was a series of facts to investigate, themselves only a sense of will. There was little point on self reflection: they quite literally didn’t have a self to reflect.
There was a series of sounds, a name, to go with the tome, a title to the book.
Bramimond.
They had a mission, a way to pass time as they watched the grains of time drift by, touching all but magic itself, their existence. This task of passive guarding had been simple.
But the Shrine of Seals was no longer their charge. No, not even Elibe itself was their binding home.
The danger had moved.
This is what they said when faced with questions, unknown eyes before them trying to get answers, as if their words could give more than questions. The guard to a place they called Abyss held a spear pointed at their- rather, an identical copy of his armored chest, gripping the spear tightly.
“How did you even find this place?” he asked, voice high with apprehension.
Instinct, fate, what did it matter?
Bramimond responded in his voice.
“Woah, calm down! I’m just going where I need to, okay?” they sounded defensive.
Another guard ran up to them, a brunette woman with fancier armor, looking between the two of them, speaking in an authoritative tone. “What’s going on here? Infighting?”
Bramimond looked at her and their features shifted like rippling water, taking on her wavy brown hair and commanding voice. “No. I need to be here, and you will let me pass.”
Both of them stood still, shocked.
Bramimond raised their head higher. “There is danger in these lands. My calling is no longer in my homeland. I am a protector. My will is to ensure that this world shall continue, as was the deal, and here I face the greatest threats this world has. You shall not stand in the way of destiny.”
The female guard captain and the other guard readied their weapons, but Bramimond had dealt with this before. They broke into a run, pushing past them, unwilling to unleash Dark Magic on people who simply didn’t know better.
The underground marketplace was perfect cover.
Taking the form of a cloaked worker, they ducked their head and hurried away, unable to be tracked. They kept walking like that until they meandered into the residential area of Abyss, not making eye contact with anyone, not wanting to change their shape again to complicate matters further.
It took them observing another person to feel their form shift, all trappings of the previous body gone, even the memory of it beyond what they could physically hold onto. The emotions they expressed were not their own, but just a reflection.
They had a task, a purpose, nothing more.
Abyss was home to people who needed somewhere to stay with few questions asked. They found a spare room in a far off, dark corner. Some shelter and a bed was all they needed. 
When they laid down, they were not relieved. They were not homesick, sad, elated, happy, or anything. Their heart was as blank as the darkness above their head.
There was a goal: Get to Fodlan. Keep watch there.
They had succeeded.
That was all.
Humans often found words inadequate to describe how they felt and the world around them. Words existed to bring something more powerful and evocative into existence, to filter being human into something shared.
For them, it was quite the opposite.
Words, logic, a functioning mind that understood reason- this was all they knew. Their reference was only in the book in their hands and the code of their mind. They could remember how humans felt, how the frightened guard’s heart had leapt as their own, how the captain’s businesslike tone had rang out from both of their throats, how events were supposed to dictate one’s mood, but neither stayed, neither could be conjured up by them even if they wanted it, it was merely data, a borrowed moment, a brief log into their blank canvas.
Bramimond closed their eyes, as that was needed for rest.
They played what role was given to them- no, even forced upon them, walking in another’s skin once they perceived them. This was just what they were.
A walking mirror.
