We’re back in business, baybieeee!
Long story short, being disbanded didn’t last long. You numbskulls missed us and we missed you. Team Skull is a family yo!
So since our poor Shady House just sat empty in our brief absence, we decided to slap a few dozen new coats of paint on it and move back in! And with Aether outta our hair, we can leave all that crap behind us and get back to our regularly scheduled chaos. No more wormholes and interdemensional horrors, just good old, family-friendly, petty crime.
Follow to stay up-to-date on what’s going down in Po Town, and send your asks if ya got ‘em!
Wanna be a part of the fam, but you're not in Alola? Check out the Team Skull Expanded Directory HERE!
NEVER LET UP!
~Account run by Head Grunt Calla
Pelipper Mail: OPEN!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
((Follows from @ratt-teeth , ooc rules and info below the cut, please read before interacting! Last updated: 10/24/23))
__________
Heyo, it's the mun here! Everything here below the cut is blog info and housekeeping~
GENERAL INFO AND BLOG CANON:
This blog acts as the in-universe "official" page for Team Skull. It's run by Calla, who is considered the "head grunt" of the team. While it's supposed to be run as an official update account, she often uses it as a personal blog. More info on Calla can be found here and here.
While this blog is mostly gen, it's definitely more on the pg-13 side. Given the nature of Team Skull, there will be swearing, adult humor, and innuendo. If this makes you uncomfortable, feel free to block, I promise I won't get offended!
In the history for this blog, Team Skull reassembled about a year or so after disbanding, this time without any influence from Aether. They're back to just being a gang of goofy hooligans.
Should also note that this will more or less follow Sun and Moon's canon. I didn't particularly care for a lot of the plot changes in USUM, especially regarding Lusamine’s arc, so I'll be disregarding most of them.
While anyone is welcome to interact, I generally prefer other human characters over sentient pokemon. This blog follows the canon that pokemon are only slightly more sapient than real life animals, and Calla will assume most pokemon-run blogs are just people role-playing, and she's just playing along. (Whoa, meta!)
The above rule also applies to canon characters from other franchises/series.
Pelipper Mail is open and will be treated as if it was actually delivered via Pelipper (or other flying Pokemon)
RULES AND BOUNDARIES:
This blog is generally LOW-STAKES. While Calla may occasionally make commentary on higher-stakes events, please do not attempt to rope me into high-stakes scenarios without discussing it first. Absolutely no ultra/death-stakes. While mentions of death are fine and expected (such as in a backstory or in reference to agriculture/Pokemon as food) I prefer not to participate in it directly. I'm mainly using this blog for goofy fun-times, so please be considerate.
If you OR your character are a minor, absolutely NO flirty/romantic interactions. Friendly interactions and banter are fine and encouraged, but both me and my character are full-grown adults. This is a hard line to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.
No magic anons!
This one isn't a hard boundary, but I tend not to lean too far into things like fallers/alternate realities, Pokemon-human hybrids, etc.
☆ Overall, this blog's canon tends to be more on the realistic side. I started this blog because I loved the idea started by @/realpokemon of combining the whimsical Pokemon world with the mundane-ness of the real world, and the challenge of balancing the two. While a lot of blogs in the community lean into the more zany and fantastical side of Pokemon, I just personally prefer keeping things more in line with the mainline games but with a touch of realism more akin to the real world.

uncanny counter season 2 is definitely weaker than season 1 (tbf season 1 was really well written so it’s hard to live up to) but im not able to fully place why, I think my main problems are
1. the villains are wayyy less fleshed out and what we do have doesn’t work well with prior world building. I was down for “they came back for revenge” thing but it’s not focused on as much as the money and there’s no real reason for them to be that focused on the money? with the exception of baek hyang-hui who’s rage was based on her expensive tastes, evil spirits were characterized to be driven by fulfilling their impulse for violence and by strong desires from their human lives (ie. ji cheong-sin helping his adoptive dad and protecting the kids at the orphanage). gelly and hwang pil-kwang are definitely doing violence but they obviously must have other motivations if they’re so focused on this money and I feel like there hasn’t even been hints/slow character building about what those motivations are. ma joo-seok is getting fleshed out really well as a sympathetic villain so that makes up for a lot.
2. the few plot points from season one that could be followed up on feel like they’ve been dropped. we still don’t really know why so mun is special. it felt like they were hinting at romance between so mun and hana that was entirely dropped. even minor things like whether chu mae-ok went to the wedding or if mo-tak got in touch with jeong-yeong’s family after her death. kinda feels like a new story in the same universe instead of a continuation of the existing story.
3. not enough non-supernatural stuff. season 1 was strong imo because it showed how the supernatural was wrapped up in the mundane. evil spirits are abusive husbands and shitty bosses and school bullies. ordinary evils could also be possessed by evil spirits. even ji cheong-sin was being used as a hit man by normal evil businessmen who just cared about profit. it made everything feel more real and made the characters feel like people who existed outside of the plot. I’m feeling much less of that so far this season. big exception there is hana and her high school crush. was really hoping on more of a focus on what exactly everyone thinks so mun is doing rn if he’s not in college (also how did that happen?)
that being said, I’m actually really enjoying the season and I feel like the episodes are getting stronger as they go so I have high hopes. it’s just that season 1 was really well written so that every plot line was relevant and connected and every character was well fleshed out, so it felt jarring going right from season 1 to season 2.
(also this is petty but I wish they had kept the tighter curls from season 1, everyone looks really good there’s nothing to complain about, I just liked the tighter curls as a story element lol)

GET TO KNOW THE MUN ! (since i'm new to knowing all of you!)
what made you pick up the muse you have ? : when tcsm was releasing i had interest in it because i was a dbd player and was miserable / never got to try f13. however, i wasn't a huge horror fan until i met my fiancé 4 years ago so i hadn't seen tcm. i was still in exposure therapy as i was / still kinda am very sensitive to gore with certain things as it feels surreal and will make me viscerally sick, had to stop hereditary because even though it wasn't very gory mostly it made me horribly sick. anyway. TLDR i was pleasantly shocked to find the 1974 tcm didn't have rly any like,, active gore and i really fell in love with the movie, was looking through the victims and originally liked julie, but she didn't feel like me. when it released on console in sept? i believe? i thought i'd main her but upon reading ana's lore i INSTANTLY attached to her as she had a life similar to mine in that she was a strong willed woman taking care of a sick mom who loved her family above all else. i hadn't seen anyone talking about ana, everyone loved connie and was horny for julie so i attached to ana very personally and it was joever.
is there anything you really enjoy writing ? : i love writing torture scenes despite my exposure therapy in movies/tv i've always loved horror games, books and writing gore / violence. action scenes are just really fun for me. i can't explain my weird thing with gore, but it's practically non existent now. i feel like the creator of the first RE game tho who hated horror but went on to make one of the best horror franchises... i hated gore but loved SFX and idolized greg nicotero since i was 12. i yap too much, i love action scene. and smut. i'm hypersexual and tbh writing smut is just FUN for me, nothing more too it i just feel like the intimacy and connection in those moments ( depending on the type of smut ) helps me understand the characters dynamics in a deeper sense, but it's never necessary ofc lmao, just a fun dynamic to explore and get to know two characters who had a deep romantically charged emotional connection whether they're actually together or just friends who hook up. action and intimacy, like a Man™️ 😭
is there anything you don't like to write ? : nope :) all of it is fun even the unnecessary little mundane things or cringe things. i get bored faster with melodramatic things like cheating / drama / typical high school wattpad shit but i am a sucker for a good little cringe angst every now and again for funsies in a little drabble. just not as a whole plot. i don't have triggers or anything im averted to really except,,,, like b.eastiality & i.ncest, p.edophilia etc bc like... for obvious reasons ???? so i'm pretty open to explore just about everything besides the blatantly obvious fucked up shit, im not george r. r. martin miss me with the i.ncest
how do you come up with your headcanons ? : they just come to me throughout the day, mundane things, extraordinary things all of it. i talk to myself and mumble dialogue between characters a lot to myself to help my writing process and sometimes i get carried away and hcs are born from my yap session. sometimes going as far to act out a scene in my head to feel the smoothness of the actions / dialogue and if it feels right i build hcs off of that. a lot of my hcs for ana are personal and come from my real life or matches i've had in game / convos with friends etc
do you write in silence or listen to music ? : usually silence but lately i've been going to cafes and playing one song on repeat and writing that way.
do you plan your replies or wing them ? : depends, like i said sometimes i get prompts and will act them out in my room how i feel the scene will go (within reason) and then i will put it down on page, or sometimes ana kinda,,, does her own thing and i'll sit down to write and write something entirely different than i had planned.
do you enjoy shipping ? : yes ! but i'm very rusty to it outside of my partner, just because i felt more comfortable exploring things with him and romance in the horror genre esp killer x victim type shit so i'm new to multiship ping and it's been years since i shipped with someone other than him but GOD i love shipping with friends, i love love and im a hopeless romantic i will GLADLY ship in a heartbeat if my homies suggested it and the vibes are good :) ana and i love so much and i love exploring romantic dynamics rooted in friendship (demi tings) slow burn is my favorite and unrequited (at first) pining. oh how i love the angst of pining.
what's your alias / name ? : valentine / jordan (my close mutuals are more than welcome to use jordan, val/valentine is just prettier).
zodiac sign ? : sag sun, libra moon, gemini rising.
Birthday? : dec 3rd :) was due dec 27th so that's why ana's birthday is the 27th !
favorite color ? : pale pastel pink ! and any purple <3 and pastel yellow teehee
favorite song ? : don't have one, i listen to too much but i always revert back to deftones and the weeknd albums on repeat
last movie you watched ? : bed rest with melissa barrera (gave me sad ana hcs I DONT WANNA TALK ABT IT! OKAY!) it wasn't fantastic but melissa carried and i will watch anything she does
last show you watched ? : hannibal. again, more hcs and im obsessed with hunger / c.annibalism as a metaphor for love and hannibal is so homoerotic and RAHHH i could go on forever about my fiancés and my dynamic for ana and johnny and how they mirror hannibal and will in a sense but i won't because i fear NO ONE WILL UNDERSTAND US ✊🏼😔 LMAOOO
last song you listened to ? : haunted by beyoncé i believe, i was listening to my h.orny julie playlist
favorite food ? : pasta :) lasagna :) anything italian
favorite season ? : fall swoons
do you have a tumblr best friend ? : not yet ! but uhh i wuv my new homies and i'm someone who easily attaches so give me two weeks and all my mutuals will be considered my best friend in my eyes.
TAGGED BY : @lifesver thx kels teehee :)
TAGGING : all my buds who haven't yet (:

Rules under the cut
CARRD
1. Mun is 21+ with a full time job that sometimes leaves me busy or exhausted so please be kind and give me some grace and patience
2. This blog has topics from the mundane every day life to supernatural and potentially triggering topics. I do not water my muses down for anyone or for the sake of Tumblr’s intense desire to be hyper correct - I tag appropriate triggers and if you need me to tag a trigger that I am not tagging, please inform me and I will start tagging it.
3. I prefer to do longer threads like 3+ paragraphs and flex my writing muscles that I haven’t flexed in a long time. (Shorter threads are nice, but I am trying to push myself into being a more detail orientated writer again)
4. The best way to start writing with me is to send memes or I will send memes. After that, plotting becomes a far easier thing for me to do once I have a slightly better grasp on the chemistry of our muses
5. Hi my name is Paige, I have been writing many of theses muses off and on for many years. Some I have been writing since my very first days on this hellsite in 2009 (yikes). I love them all to pieces but do note that with writing a muse for a long time comes a character that has basically become an OC thanks to all of the development and headcanons that have developed along the way.

hello! i wasn't sure exactly how to kick things off with this blog, so i thought i'd look at some sentence starter memes and i came across this one! i'm not very experienced in roleplaying, but i thought i'd give it a try. maybe it'll be fun to look at and redo once i gain more experience!
meme for roleplay muns by @/roleplaymemeworld
#1 - what is your favorite trope to roleplay?
hm, this is a hard one, probably because i simply haven't actually roleplayed in a bit. i'd say maybe the 'descending into evil' trope or the trope where a character has the opposite personality of what you expect them to have. i don't know, i guess i just really like complex characters with varying morals.
#2 - name three things you admire about ocs.
i really admire the time and effort put into ocs. you never really know how much effort is put into one, for you can be thinking about an oc, coming up with headcanons, making moodboards and playlists for them, all kinds of stuff that fleshes out your character, without even realizing it. i also really like the diversity of ocs. whether it be through race, religion, disability, personality, or just aesthetic, every oc is unique! that is so cool and special, that someone has their own character that they handmade themselves and chose all their attributes. the last thing i admire about ocs is the creativity they can inspire, in both their makers and others. they can motivate someone to think outside the box, to create something they would never create otherwise. i don't know, ocs are just really cool!
#3 - who are your longest roleplay friends?
haha, none so far. i only 'seriously' roleplayed when i was an unreliable teen; i didn't tend to last long in a roleplay before i got burnt out and quit. one of my goals is to find a friend through roleplay, so maybe one day the answer to this question will change!
#4 - what old character would you love to bring back?
ooo, i can only choose one? i used to do a warrior cat writing game and i had a few lovely characters that i still love, such as the timid leader who had complete faith in starclan. i had plans for him to fall in love with his medicine cat and i wanted to explore the struggle between this love and his faith in starclan [for those two things oppose each other quite well]. i might consider bringing some [or all] of the clan back, if i find the motivation and maybe some actual plot for the clan to be engaged in.
#5 - what is a character you love, but don’t think you can write?
i mostly like characters that are more introverted, like myself, so this question is a bit tough. i have trouble writing terribly optimistic or overly cheery characters, so i think i'd have difficulty with sayori from doki doki literature club or emma from the promised neverland. i love the former more than the latter, but i do like reading those kinds of characters' perspectives. for example, emma is just so optimistic and determined and just genuinely good-hearted that it's hard for me at times to truly understand and write her point of view. 
#6 - name three things you love most about your muse/s.
i'm currently fleshing out my stardew valley oc, so i'll use them as my muse for this question! i really love the way they love. they're polyamorous and end up with the ass trio [abigail, sebastian, & sam] in their 'canon' story. they just fall in love so easily, with everything from the person they bumped into at the grocery store to the way the moon illuminates their porch at night. another adjacent thing i love about them is their ability to find happiness in the mundane. it makes them smile when they notice a new leaf growing from their crop, even though they've grown hundreds of crops before. they appreciate the sunshine and all it does for them and their farming. they just are really able to find happiness in the small things, which is a wonderful skill to have. the last thing i love about them is their willingness to try and accept most anything. they are quite open-minded, which i think is a great trait.
#7 - what is one overrated roleplay trend?
i can't really come up with an answer for this one. maybe the cocky badass who's overconfident because of their bad past type of character?
#8 - do your friends outside the internet know your roleplay?
of course! well, i don't really friends in the 'normal' sense, but my family, who are the people i spend my time with and are close to, know. they don't know all the details, of course [they don't need to know about the,,, more 'intimate' writings i've penned], but they're supportive of my writing and any interaction with other humans is good in their eyes.
#9 - have you every written fanfictions?
definitely! i don't really post them, but i have written a few and posted a couple. the ones i did post were years old and rather bad, so i ended up deleting them, but i hope to get back into writing both fanfiction and original works.
#10 - why do you write?
honestly? because i enjoy it. writing helps me express my feelings and explore how different people act and think. i find learning about how exactly people react to different things, how their emotions and upbringings affect their actions, to be fascinating. i see it at a puzzle sometimes; if this character feels this way, how will they express [or hide] that? how does what they do affect others? it helps me learn more about emotions and the healthy and unhealthy ways that people deal with them. very rarely, i will use writing as a way to vent my own emotions. it usually is in the form of purple prose or through metaphors. i don't really post these vent pieces unless it's been a while since i've written them and the thing i was venting about has passed, simply because it feels too personal to put on display. my writing may come in sporadic bursts, as my motivation ebbs and flows, but i always seem to come back to it.
#11 - do you welcome duplicates of your character or stay away from them?
[i'm assuming this means characters from other works and not ocs, correct me if i'm wrong] i'm rather neutral about them. i don't want the same two characters to interact with each other, but if someone roleplays the same character, i don't mind it. we most likely have different headcanons and interpretations of the character anyways, so the character may be slightly different and a mun shouldn't be discouraged from writing for a character you also happen to write for.
#12 - do you prefer writing main or minor canon characters?
both have their pros and cons! major characters tend to be more fleshed out, but that leaves room for less interpretation and may clash with any headcanons you come up with. minor characters have lots of room for you to play with in terms of personality, but this almost-empty slate may be overwhelming as you're not sure where to begin. also, some people may not agree with your interpretation of a minor character as there can be so little to base stuff on that you may make stuff up that may or may not fit someone else's version or view of they character. for me, i guess it depends on how i'm feeling at the time. if i'm in the mood to really create a character's, well, character, i would enjoy the freedom that a minor character gives me. if i want to explore more of a certain personality or point of view, i'd probably choose a main character that has that certain thing that i'm looking to write about.
#13 - is there one trope you can’t stand?
oof, i'm not sure. perhaps love triangles? they are annoying. i hate when there are two guys pining over a girl who may or may not even be into them.
#14 - what is your opinion on writing smut?
it's perfectly fine! it can even help people explore their sexuality. i think it's a bit weird to roleplay smut but as long as clear boundaries are set, i don't really see any problem with it.
#15 - what is your opinion on tagging triggers?
people should show common courtesy and tag triggers if asked but i personally don't tag triggers very often without prompting. i just forget or am not sure what i should be tagging as a trigger.
#16 - do you prefer long or short replies and why?
i prefer longer replies, at least a paragraph. i can't stand roleplaying with one sentence for each reply. in my eyes, it's such a waste of time to wait for a reply only for it to be a sentence. it doesn't give you much to go on, either. i don't always like super long replies, because i may be lacking motivation and it would be hard to write so much and still have it be good. so, i enjoy the happy medium, with a preference towards longer replies.
#17 - what makes you insecure about your own writing?
the fact that i don't write consistently. motivation often comes in bursts, followed by long periods of no writing at all. also, i've never really shown my writing to the world so roleplaying is intimidating because someone else is going to be reading my work.
#18 - what is one thing you’d wish to see more in the roleplay community?
i'm not really sure because i'm just getting into it, but i'd like to see more people being relaxed and maybe even a little silly. i feel like there's a pressure to make your blog and posts look perfect, that every response i write must be immaculate, and sometimes this leaves no room to be comfortable and just really let loose and have fun with it. and to me, that's the most important part, having fun with roleplaying.
#19 - who is an author that inspires you?
at first, i was going to answer this question with an author that doesn't inspire me, but then i realized that they actually do inspire me, in a way. that author or, more precisely, those authors are the authors of the wildly popular warrior cats series. they go under the pen name 'erin hunter' and have gone through a few different people through the years, but the writing seems to stay more or less the same. and by the same, i mean bad. don't get me wrong, i absolutely love the concept of warriors, just,,, they got the execution wrong. the details are sloppy and mixed up all the time, there are plots that are thrown together haphazardly for convenience's sake, and it seems as if there is no communication between the authors. i'm not sure if it's the publisher's fault, the author's fault, or if it is simply because they can get away with writing subpar books and still keep their popularity and money. honestly, i could rant about this for a while, but i should stop while i can. back to my original point, i guess erin hunter inspires me to be better than them. after all, if they can make it, why can't i? maybe it's out of spite, but i want to be a better author than them and somehow, that keeps me going. i think it keeps a lot of people going, what with all the warrior cat rewrites you see!
#20 - do you need music/noise to write or do you prefer silence?
i like having some kind of noise on at all times, but i cannot write while listening to music with words. i just get distracted too easily and start following along with the music, losing my train of thought and forgetting what i was going to write.
#21 - what time of the day is your favorite to write?
probably nighttime, when i'm supposed to be sleeping >.>' seriously, though, i just find most of my creative motivation at night. i almost always write in google docs on my phone, and that usually happens when i'm laying in bed at night.
#22 - are there any red roleplay flags for you that make you back off immediately?
i'm not the most familiar with roleplaying with others, so i don't know many red flags right off. it's a red flag if someone can't separate the character from themselves, though. for example, the character is mad at my character, therefore the mun is also mad at me. i'm, again, pretty new to the roleplaying scene so i have a lot to learn in terms of tastes and what i find i don't like in roleplaying partners.
#23 - your favorite fandom to write in?
maybe it's due to nostalgia or my special interest of cats, but i have to say warriors. i don't ever write canon characters, but i absolutely love coming up with original clans and cats based on the main principles of warrior cats. the concept is just *chef's kiss* amazing! i love to expand on it and add my own twists to the rules.
#24 - have you ever left a fandom because of negativity?
hm, i can't say that i have. i've distanced myself from a couple fandoms for a bit due to negativity, but never completely left one. i think it's because i know that it's a matter of finding the right people. if someone is negative about something, i unfollow them. i have no need for extra drama and negativity in my life, especially in something that is supposed to bring me happiness.
#25 - one thing you’d like new roleplayers to know?
have fun! don't worry about getting everything right or perfect. you don't have to have that beautiful aesthetic or have been in a fandom for a certain amount of time before you start roleplaying. if you find someone constantly putting you down and causing your roleplay to not spark joy? tell them so and let them go! you'll find the right roleplay partner or group eventually. just make sure that, no matter what you do, you still gain happiness from roleplaying. that's the reason you do it, so don't lose sight of that. lots of love from kitti kai ♡

Below is a birthday short I wrote for @mushroomgrenade who runs @ask-wbp-b! I’m late to posting it (SORRY MUSHROOM CKWEMNKFSDHG) both the mun and muse share the same birthday, so it’s a combined gift! Enjoy! (HAPPY late BIRTHDAY MY DUDE)
B looked out at the water. The evening was calm, the waters lapping gently at the side of the ship below. The sky was ablaze with oranges and reds as the sun bid the world good-night on the horizon. The only sounds for miles were the laughter and cheers of her brothers from the deck. She would be having a cigarette right now, if Jiru hadn’t confiscated them earlier. A hand on her shoulder pulled her back out of her thoughts and back into the moment.
Thatch gave her a wide smile.
“I was wondering where our special gal went! We can’t have a party without the birthday girls approval!” He said.
B huffed at that. Yes, big parties were sort of the norm for the Whitebeards, but she still felt a bit weird that they would set a day aside for her instead of just adding her to the list of clumped birthdays at the end of the month. She wasn’t a commander, but they still treated her on her birthday like this.
“You didn’t need to go overboard this year.” She said.
Thatch pouted dramatically and leaned down to her level. He clasped his hands together and looked at her as if she had just told him the saddest thing he’d ever heard.
“But it’s your day!” He exclaimed. “We’re supposed to have cake! And games! And booze! And all your favorite foods! You can spend the night with someone--geh!!”
B slapped her palms on his cheeks, a tick mark appearing on her forehead.
“What was that last one?”
“Nothing! Nothing!”
B gave another small huff and squished his cheeks in her hands. Thatch made a wine of displeasure but made no move to back away. Sometimes she wondered why she loved this dumb little brother so much, but he was always quick to remind her with those bright eyes.
“Really, it didn’t need to be this elaborate.” She said.
Finally releasing him Thatch stood up straight, his trademark smile returning instantly. He laughed off her aggravation and continued to ramble about what they had set up for her. It was all too much, just for her. She loved her idiot of a brother, but she really wanted to bonk him on the head. Birthdays were important to her, but her own wasn’t as big of a deal as the others made it out to be. She was only their dimension jumping sister who could see into the future and glitch out, nothing special about that. Totally.
Realizing Thatch had stopped his chatter she looked up at him again. He looked extremely happy, like it was his big day instead of her own. Her brother leaned down and took her hands into his own and beamed down at her.
“I’m really happy we can do this for you. I know being in the spotlight isn’t something you like, but we all want you to feel appreciated! Come on!”
He held her hand and pulled her along as they walked to the kitchen. B offered no resistance and cracked a smile to her family as they passed, they were all happy smiles aimed at her. It was slightly uncomfortable, but easily ignored. Thatch pulled her into the mess hall and released her hand finally, rushing into the kitchen. He yelled someone to the cooks while B stood awkwardly at the counter, before he reappeared with a bowl. Anticipation rolled off him in waves as he gave it to her. The man was practically vibrating as he watched her.
“Try it! It’s the same as last time, with a few differences.”
B didn’t need to ask what it was. She knew exactly what was in the hot bowl in her hands: a meal from her home. No matter how many times Thatch made it for her or she herself tried to make it, it never came out just right. He never gave up though, and it charmed her. He really wanted to give her a taste of the home she missed, even if it had taken years of trying.
Taking a sip she let the flavors swirl around her mouth, warmth spreading across her body. It was delicious! Though she expected none the less from Thatch. It brought back memories of her old home, the good and the bad. But it was still missing….something. She had long accepted that some things from her world simply did not translate into the world of One Piece, but that didn’t mean she was going to dissuade her brother from trying.
Looking up she met his eyes and smiled.
“Still not close, Thatchy.” She said with a shake of her head.
Thatch’s smile gave way to disappointment. The poor man had really tried, taking all her notes into consideration for this batch, but it still wasn't quite there. B gave him a pat on the shoulder.
“It’s still amazing though. I really like this.”
Her brother perked up at that. It may not have been perfect, but few things ever were. They spent some time in the kitchen with B testing and giving greenlights to foods, Thatch practically vibrating at her approval. The two chatted until Haruta burst in, accusing Thatch of hogging the birthday girl and cuddling up to her side.
“Come on, B! We can’t start the party without you!” They said.
She didn’t get a word in edgewise before they grabbed her arm like a child and dragged her along.
“I’ll see you in a little!” Thatch called after her.
In the time they had talked the sun had completely gone, stars taking its place. The deck was packed with people. They had already broken out the alcohol, but considering no one was red in the face or laughing uncontrollably they weren’t going heavy on it. All of them were waiting on her to start them off. Haruta smiled excitedly as they pulled her in front of Pops’ chair. Rubbing her arm she tried to scold Haruta for yanking her along so hard, but the rumble of her fathers laugh drowned some of it out.
B looked up at him, silently asking for help since she would not know peace for hours tonight. Pops only smiled, love in his and peace in his relaxed form. She sighed internally. No amount of mental preparation was going to help being bombarded by loving idiots from all sides. Behind her Haruta took in a deep breath.
“Hey everybody! She’s here!” They yelled at the top of their lungs.
There was a beat of silence followed by an uproar of cheers. Smiling faces all around greeted B. The commanders, who were scattered around the deck among their family, came to the front of the crowd next to Pops, joy coming off them in waves. B put on an awkward smile, holding two thumbs up to everyone to hide how uncomfortable she was with all eyes on here. Thankfully, it only lasted a moment before the fourth division came out with the main course of food and started filling the tables up.
“It looks like the party can begin.” Pops said.
And it began with all the energy you could expect; Music blaring from the front of the deck, caring all the way across the ship, barrels of beer draining in minutes, games and dancing. The first to approach her was Vista. Her brother laughed and twisted his mustache, leaning down comically far to get somewhat close to her height.
“I believe this is the first time I’ve seen you all day! Not hiding away, are we?” He teased.
B gently bonked him on the head, returning the smile.
“No, I just knew I wouldn’t be able to take a single step without being ambushed by someone.” She said.
The two laughed and Vista gave her a pat on the shoulder, heading off to get drinks. Next was Namur, who quietly placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled.
“Happy birthday, B.”
“Thanks, fishy.” She said.
She reached up and ruffled the raven locks on the top of his head. He didn’t move to dissuade her. Namur wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer, nuzzling their cheeks together before letting go and taking his leave. Blenheim and Blamenco were next. Blenheim kneeled down and scooped B up, letting her sit on his arm like a perch.
“Happy birthday! We missed you at lunch!” Blamenco said.
“You were a ghost all day!” Blenheim chuckled.
B felt a twinge of guilt, now having a few commanders call her out. But they knew her habits, she didn’t like things to be all about her, despite the end result being the same.
“Hey you’re seeing me now. I could still go back to my room and leave you all?” She said, raising her eyebrow mischievously.
“No!” Both the men cried in unison.
She laughed and patted both of them on the head. They made brief chatter, some inside jokes and glee about the day. Blamenco joked about his pouches being sore from carrying all the gifts, promptly earning him a soft bonk for pushing his devil fruit too hard. It was a bit before she was set down and they two went off to join Vista at the drinks table, their smiles filling B with warmth.
Curiel would have burst onto the scene next--but there being no fireworks put him in a grand mood. B giggled softly and patted his back. She appreciated him holding back from the light show for her day. Fireworks always made her stressed, no matter how often they used them. Curiel setting aside explosives seemed like a miracle to the crew, but he did it for her and that’s what made it a big deal.
“If I didn’t love you so much I would have snuck up on you with a party popper by now.” He said.
“Pfft I’d knock your teeth in if you did that.”
“Yeah but it’d be funny. For a bit.”
Fossa came over, once Curiel had finished hogging B’s cuddles. The man chuckled and scooped her up not unlike Blenheim had earlier.
“Even the weather fancies you,” He said, “Third year without a single cloud in the sky on your birthday. Starting to get suspicious.”
They laughed. For a conversation starter so mundane Fossa and B had quite a bit to talk about. Simple things they both could ramble about to one another as if it were the easiest things in the world. They talked for so long Rakuyo had to make his presence known, going unnoticed behind them for an embarrassingly long time.
“Uhm, I think it’s my turn with the B?” He said, anxiously.
Fossa looked back at him, choking back a laugh.
“Kid that sentence has way too many connotations.”
“Oh fuck off!”
B wheezed at the red tint that dashed across Rakuyos face. Fossa never missed a beat, did he. The taller commanders chuckled and set her down, giving her a pat on the head and a soft ‘happy birthday’ before heading off. Rakyuo looked miserable and thoroughly embarrassed, B couldn’t help laughing some more.
“God, you’re so easy to mess with, Raky.”
“I should have stayed in bed. Fuck your birthday, I’m out.”
She smiled and opened her arms invitingly, tilting her head with soft eyes. Rakuyo sighed and slumped into her, putting all his weight on his smaller sister. B gasped and leaned back, straining at how sudden and heavy that was.
“Raky I swear to fuck-” She croaked out from under him.
Rakuyo finally let up, standing up properly and hugging her back. He laughed a little at the redness of her face.
“Sorry I almost crushed you.”
“‘Almost?’”
They had fun with their back and forth banter. They poked fun at each other, telling jokes and watching some chaos unfold across the deck as a barrel was knocked over. A bunch of their poor brothers slipped and fell, taking some others down with them as they tried to stop their fall.
After some time Rakuyo took his leave, letting B finally get her drink. She had been talking for so long she felt incredibly grateful to the cooks for making sure she wasn’t left with scraps by now. A nice plate was set aside, just for her, with all the best things and a large mug of good alcohol. She sat down next to Pops, who was chuckling and tapping his foot to the tempo of the current song. They sat quietly, few words shared in comfortable silence. There was no need for a long chat after all.
The last to approach her was Ace. The boy looked very shy as he came over, a small box in her hand. B raised her eyebrow at him.
“Hey, the gifts go on the gift table.” She said.
The look of Ace's face immediately made her backtrack.
“But, uh, I’m not doing anything if you wanna give it to me now!”
Patting the open spot next to her she gave him a smile.
“C’mere, buddy. Let me see!”
Ace plopped down at her side and handed the small box to her. He looked at her with wide eyes, brimming with anticipation. Tearing the thin paper B was greeted with a single brown box, two letters ‘RF’ stamped on. Opening it she was taken aback. Inside was a white rabbit's foot, speckled with small patches of black fur on the back. It was quite small, the top covered in silver with an intricate design of dashing and swirls like leaves.
“I uh,” Ace started, “It means good luck, and even though you already have a lot of luck a little more wouldn’t hurt?”
B looked at him. The kid was looking at her like he was the dumbest son of a bitch across the seas, anxiously waiting for her response. She smirked, taking the charm out and holding it.
“It’s nice, Ace! Looks like it’ll fit on the action of my gun.”
“Yeah! I got it just for that! Or you could hang it somewhere in your room!”
Pops glanced over at his two children. The sight of the two most guarded people he’d ever accepted, talking at if they’d been friends for years, filled him with pride. With his signature laugh he stood up, taking his cup of sake with him. The crew paused and looked to their captain and father. Pops gave them a smile and lifted his drink up.
“To B’s birthday, and her many years to come!”
“AYE!!”

Pick five tropes for your character.
Tumblr media
1. Determinator
A character — good or evil, regardless of gender, young or old — who never gives up. Ever. No matter what.
There is no stopping the Determinator. They do not understand tact. They do not Know When to Fold 'Em, and it's a waste of time to tell them the odds. No one can reason with them. They'll do whatever they have to without question. No price is too great to pay for success, up to and including their own life. Do not expect them to realize they might be better off letting it go, even if they can barely stand. If you're ever kidnapped or lost with no hope of rescue, they'll be the one who will find you. Their adversaries will shout, in exasperated rage, "Why Won't You Die?!". For them, there is no line between "perseverance" and "insanity."
// This got long so I’m stuffing the rest under a cut!
2. Entropy and Chaos Magic
Magic and powers with a "chaotic" theme. Often referred to as "chaos magic", "wild magic" (not to be confused with the Wild Magic trope) or, more fancifully, "entropic magic" or variants on that name. Sometimes appears in settings with an Order Versus Chaos cosmology, but can pop up anywhere.
It can function in many different ways, but frequent traits include: high randomness and uncontrollability, probability manipulation, and inducing accelerated decay and destruction, depending on how the writers interpret the concept of chaos and entropy.
In real life, "entropy" is a physical concept, roughly defined as a measure of disorder and chaos of a given system.note  Per the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of an isolated system can only grow, never decrease; the only way to decrease the entropy is for some external force to do work on it.note  Since the universe itself (as far as we know) is an isolated system with no external forces that can affect it, this suggests that eventually it will succumb to "heat death of the universe": eventually all organized systems will break apart.note  Hence why chaos-based entities tend to have an Omnicidal Maniac vibe to them. Hence why Aihren is the foil to that, because they're trying to absorb the energy and save the universe by preventing (or at least prolonging) the heat death. If you find yourself asking “but wait, who was the foil of Aihren? You just mentioned Omnicidal Villain...”
All I have to say is ... Soon(TM)
3. Past-Life Memories -
Past-life memories are memories that a reincarnated character gains from previous incarnations of their soul.
When Reincarnation and past-life memories are presented as being real within the context of a story, it often works in a way similar to Genetic Memory, by giving the character knowledge and skills that they would otherwise be unlikely to gain for themselves. Past-life memories often manifest as Dreaming of Times Gone By.
In most works with Reincarnation, the majority of characters do not gain past-life memories, so having them is often a sign of being a particularly important soul, perhaps even The Chosen One.
4. Utility Magic - In many works, magic is something to blast things with and generally make stuff explode.
But not in this universe. In this universe, Mundane Utility isn't a secondary effect of all those awesome spells, but the primary one. The magic essentially has to do with things on the more mundane scale of the Inverse Law of Utility and Lethality, like Cleaning Magic, or Gardening Magic, or Paper-Filing Magic. Why modify that fireball spell to cook your hotdog, when you can just have a spell that does exactly that in the first place, and to your perfect specifications?
5. Gender Ambiguity Kind of like some other muns I saw, I didn't really like most of the definitions I saw on the site because they seem to be written from a very ... "there's only 2 genders" kind of view. Which is dumb in the year 2021. Anyways:
Aihren is androgynous. So androgynous in fact that they can "put on" a beard (via shapeshifting) and instantly have people think that they're AMAB. Aihren's assigned sex at birth is nobody's business, not even their lovers. It's something that to them, doesn't really matter. Aihren comes out different every reincarnation and then just shape-shifts themself into how they want to look anyway (they prefer to have no sex characteristics unless they plan on using them).
Their face just naturally is very sort of in between the lines of what society has arbitrarily decided is "male" or "female" (I shouldn’t have to clarify but just to touch on it anyway, there is nothing wrong with identifying with the binary). Even Aihren’s body has been described as androgynous. They regularly flip between having breasts or a flat chest, and they're quite curvy in the waist and hips, but also very square and athletic in the shoulders and legs.
Almost everyone seems to find them hot so that's pretty neat, lol. At the end of the day, androgyny is their personal gender goal. Being nonbinary is very personal to one's self and every individual defines it differently. Androgyny is not the goal of all nonbinary people so always remember to ask for people's pronouns and respect identities when people don't want you to call them something like "dude"! (As an example)

thebloodychampion, I know we haven't interacted much
SEND A URL AND I WILL ANSWER THE FOLLOWING;
Do I Follow Them?: yes!
Why Did I Follow Them?: I saw that they have Dragon Age muses. I thought their prose would match well with my writing style, and they seemed nice and chill, and I'm happy to say that i was right
Do We Role Play?: a little? Tentative starts, so far. No pressure! Sorry, I'm slow and shy
Do I Want To Role Play With Them: Yes!
An AU Idea For Our Muses: maybe a modern/mundane verse w/ Carolus, any mass effect verse ( i need to flesh out Anthony, but I'm thinking he's a young biotic student at Grissom Academy, or one of the missing biotic squadmates working under Major Alenko.
A Song For Our Muses: it takes me A LOOOOONG time to formulate any sort of hc that has to do with music by the simple fact that I just don't listen to much music at all. I don't know many songs. I'm sorry! But once I do find a song, I spam my mutuals about it. It happens rarely, but once it happens, I don't shut up about it... I'm sorry. I'm the worst.
Do I Ship Our Muses?: I'm very open to shipping. Maybe TOO open and I need reining in. But on that same token, if the other mun doesn't feel the pairing, I'm more than happy to write an unrequited ship that slowly transforms from my muse having a crush, to getting over it, to being mature about it, and the two becoming closer friends than they were before as a result, someone either give me a ship, or give me that sort of angstyplatonic-ultimately fluffy and life affirming thread plz!!
What I Think About The Mun: 💯💯💯
Overall Opinion: a great range of muses, great writing. Looking forward to more!
Blog Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 (why would I not follow any ten? All of you are tens, 100s in my opinon, otherwise I wouldn't follow and like your posts, all y'all)

AU: The Dresden Verse
Characters marked with a * are referred to as they are in the verse I made with @littleblackqrow in regards to his background, and with @hvithale in regards to the synesthesia ability (rights to it are respectfully hers). If another mun who plays with these muses wants to RP with me in the Dresden Verse, I'll be happy to adjust and fix what HC's are there to suit the new mun and their personal interpretation of the muse within that verse. Have no fear, I force headcanons on no man or entity.
Until Bartholomew Oobleck came into his magic at the age of thirteen, Barty was an unusual, precocious child. Initially expected to be mostly non-verbal and diagnosed with autism, he began to speak in full sentences at the age of three and advanced past his academic level rapidly. He was wont to ask questions and get into trouble, and his parents made efforts to curb his hyperactivity with sports and classes to wear him down.
A more accurate diagnosis was made when he was nine, with ADHD, low spectrum autism, and synesthesia. Barty reportedly 'saw things' all his life, and in art class and occasionally in creative writing or when he'd speak to his parents they pieced together he could see things that others couldn't. Without a reasonable explanation, the doctor supposed it was a type of auditory synesthesia.
Bart was subject to his share of bullying as a child. When he was thirteen and trying to avoid being caught by a particularly nasty group in Edinburgh a gust of wind pushed on him hard, sending him sailing well out of reach. Stumbling and knowing they could still catch him up, and panicking over the freak occurrence in the weather, he ducked into a side shop. No one noticed him come in, and even when the bullies had looked in the windows they hadn't seen him clearly there among the racks of clothes.
He didn't know yet how, but he'd managed to turn himself invisible. After the bullies had moved on he'd been left unsure of what to do and in a state of minor panic, especially as the blurry colours of his synesthesia had seemed to get far brighter than they'd ever been.
After the incident he hid at the house, nervous to be around people and afraid he was the cause of all the shorted out light bulbs. Approaching him generally resulted in magical misfires (and a few real fires).
While his parents were mundane, his mother recognized magic when she saw it. At first she thought about trying to help him hide it, let it fade out. Her mother had never trusted the White Council, after all, but Bart seemed to have more talent than she'd had. After some deliberation, she had her husband call in their family friend, Ozpin*.
Rather than sending a lower level wizard to look at Barty, Ozpin himself came to assess his magical talent himself after hearing a bit about him. He found Bart to have a good deal of raw talent and power within him, as well as an unusual and rare gift he'd seen only a few times before. Barty's synesthesia was in fact the reflection of seeing magic present in day to day life, wispy and out of focus, and weaker than his Wizard's Sight would be. Knowing Barty was at risk for driving himself mad using it, and from there becoming a Warlock, he took him directly into his care and apprenticeship from his parents estate.
Barty was trained and schooled under the watch of the White Council. He grew up around Wizards and their dealings, excelled in his academics and began to get control over his synesthesia, though it was a struggle. When he was old enough he equated it to being made to walk around without his glasses in his hand, and being forbidden to put them on.
When he was fifteen he met the Branwen Twins*. Not much was known about them, other than the fact he knew Ozpin had fought to take them on as apprentices and argued with the Wardens over them. Both of them spoke strangely, edging on riddles, and were next to feral. Excited to have friends, though, Bart had done his best to gain their friendship. Eventually the three were inseparable.
Bart graduated high school several years early and went on to post secondary at the University of Edinburgh. He took archaeology and history with the intent of working eventually in an archival position within the White Council once he was of age, and in the mean time work as a professor once he'd received his doctorate. When Qrow and Raven had moved to the states he decided to move over with them, landing a job at Harvard, which was within an easy train ride to his friends. The job went more or less smoothly and he helped Qrow out with his duties as they came.
Everything came to a head when he was applying for tenure. While he'd grown capable of resisting his synesthesia and keeping his name out of the potentially reputation damning tabloids, during a black tie fundraising event he'd spotted something wrong moving in the gallery. Without his Sight he only had the inkling that something was evil, shifting the energy around. Just being near made his stomach twist.
He'd lifted his Sight to get a look at it and formulate a plan when he was confronted with a person possessed by an Outsider. He'd had no choice but to act, even without his things, and the scene caused had been devastating. Blame thoroughly placed upon him after it had gotten away, and struggling with panic attacks over what he'd seen, Bart had been placed into psychiatric evaluation, where he'd remained until Ozpin was able to take him out.
His disgrace at Harvard left a stain on his reputation and blacklisted him from much of academia. He eventually resigned himself to a low position teaching basic history in a community college and began to devoting more time to his spellcraft and helping Qrow travel and take out potential threats.
Bart has several specializations in magic, particularly thaumatergy and kinetomancy. He also has a talent for shielding and fire magic, and thanks to the nature of his Sight has a near eidetic memory for most things. He is the walking Cliff Notes for anything he's studied before.
He has also only Soul Gazed with a handful of people - his mother, accidentally, after his powers had unlocked, Ozpin, and the twins.

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.
fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.
tagged by:   stolen :) tagging:    @scendant​ , @verumking​ , @sunszenith​ , @blackedsun​ , @saigeonmain​ , @quartlet​ , @shadowhelmed​ , @hotman​ , @devilglow​ , @drivenchaos​ , @re-no​ , @ladyfortunes​ , @cchilyoja​ , @quartlet​ , @deathboundinautumn​ , @ioniacriminal​ , anyone else who might like to do this :)
Tumblr media
MY MUSE IS:   canon / oc / au / slightly canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated.
IS YOUR CHARACTER POPULAR IN THE FANDOM?   YES / NO. [ She is mayhap one of the most famous characters in the entire franchise as well as one of the oldest and who has suffered the most because of the fandom’s misconceptions. ]
IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED HOT™ IN THE FANDOM?   YES / NO / IDK. [ Once more, yes, she’s definitely seen as one of the hottest characters in the game. I suppose that this has both good sides and bad sides? Especially when you encounter people who refuse to see past her physique. ]
IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED STRONG IN THE FANDOM?   YES / NO / IDK. [ Ahri might not be the strongest character in the fandom but she’s certainly not weak either. What she cannot accomplish with mere physical strength alone, she can accomplish thanks to her charming abilities so she’s definitely a strong and dangerous opponent to face. ]
ARE THEY UNDERRATED?   YES / NO / IDK. [ Yes and no at the same time? People love and hate her in equal measure but, after writing as her for so many years, I have also come to realize that few are the ones who actually pay attention to her lore and to her depth as a character. I’d say that her fame has made people blind towards who she really is and this is very sad. ]
WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN STORY?   YES / NO, she’s more on the neutral side.
WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER?    YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG. [ LOL doesn’t really have a main character or someone who’s inherently more important than others: everyone is the main character of their own specific story. This is why she is relevant to those who encounter her and those who have come to become part of her tale ; for the rest of the world, however, she’s nothing more than a vulpine vastaya with a pretty face. ]
ARE THEY WIDELY KNOWN IN THEIR WORLD?   YES / NO. [ Ahri is well known in Ionia due to her past as a vicious man-eater. However, such tales and legends belong to ages long passed and no one would be capable of discerning her true identity by simply looking at her ; this is why even fellow vastayas and ionians are usually unaware of her relation to the beast that devoured entire villages. As far as the whole world is concerned, no, she’s definitely not known by the majority. ]
HOW’S THEIR REPUTATION?   GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL. [ I’d say that her reputation is definitely bad. As previously mentioned, she carved her name in the legends of Ionia with her undying hunger and through the unfair massacre of many innocent souls ; although such legends do not carry her name, you can still find visual depictions of the vixen who spread chaos and havoc through the holy lands. In the present days, she is still considered as someone who should not be trusted: rumors about what she is capable of have spread and only fools are willing to consciously approach someone who might easily dine on their souls and hearts. ]
HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON?   —   I began writing as Ahri many years ago, which means that her lore has been twisted and modified quite some times from the very beginning. Although I do follow her present canon and I do adore every little detail that has been shared in pursuance of giving her more depth, I cannot really leave behind everything that I have developed in the past years. An easy example is the fact that my Ahri is still loosely based on the Korean myth of the “Gumiho”, which is a detail that plays an extremely important part in my portrayal: Ahri is, in fact, more beast than woman, is someone whose morals will always linger in the darkest shades of gray, is someone who adores violence and who has yet to properly harbor any type of guilt for everything that she has done thus far ; another detail is the fact that she devours souls as much as she can indulge in the flavor of hearts and livers as well. So, I would say that my Ahri is canon but with her own little twists?
SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.   —   Ahri is an incredibly complex creature, someone whose very existence is quite paradoxical for she represents both death and the maiden at the same exact time. She can be cruel and heartless as much as she can be gentle and dulcet, she is always greedy for knowledge and there is nothing that she adores as much as listening to someone’s stories or learning new facts about a world that is still oh so foreign to her. She’s beautiful, elegant, has the fluffiest tails you will ever see and she’s definitely the best cuddle buddy! Despite her murderous nature, there is something oddly soothing about her company that will naturally lure you closer. 
Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).   —  Ahri is not a good person, not even a good animal. She’s incredibly instinctive and easily becomes victim to her own whims and desires and feelings: if she decides that she wants something, she will not stop in front of anything in pursuance of quenching her thirst. Because of this, she’s a huge liar, she’s manipulative and sly and dishonest, she knows the weaknesses of those around her and does not hesitate to exploit them in pursuance of elevating herself to a higher plane. She’s not easy to deal with because she will rarely say the truth and will rarely allow others to come close to her ; it doesn’t matter who the other person is, her first instinct will always be that of hunting them.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE?   —   I was asked to write as this muse many years ago by a friend of mine. I didn’t even like her at first... I thought that she was nothing more than some easy fanservice for the game but I am so glad that I changed my mind because she has ultimately become my favorite muse and someone I always come back to, no matter how many years have passed. 
WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING?   —   Poetry is perhaps my strongest inspiration when it comes to Ahri! Poetry and visuals of idyllic landscapes, of flowers in bloom, of porcelain marred by blood. Music might sometimes help too (for example I do tend to listen to the OST of “Memoirs of a Geisha” whilst writing replies) but I’d say that poetry is indeed my strongest inspiration, it’s the one thing that makes me think of other aspects of her and that continues to fuel my motivation to be here.
Some more personal questions for the mun.
Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.
DO YOU THINK YOU GIVE YOUR CHARACTER JUSTICE?   YES / NO / I SINCERELY HOPE I DO? [ I’m extremely hesitant and nervous about my portrayal, so... I do hope that the people I write with might eventually begin to enjoy my portrayal of Ahri. ]
DO YOU FREQUENTLY WRITE HEADCANONS?   YES / NO / SORT OF? [ I think of headcanons very often but I must say that I haven’t posted too much on this blog lately. Some of them got stolen, others got ignored and... That lowkey killed my motivation to openly post the ideas I have about my muse. This is however something that I plan on changing soon! ]
DO YOU SOMETIMES WRITE DRABBLES?   YES / NO [ It depends on my inspiration or on the prompt I am given. ]
DO YOU THINK A LOT ABOUT YOUR MUSE DURING THE DAY?   YES / NO
ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR PORTRAYAL?   YES / NO / SORT OF? [ Not really... I love my Ahri, I love the headcanons that I have developed for her and I adore the interactions that she has had during this time, but... I’m always scared of people’s bad judgement, of being seen as uninteresting or as not talented enough to portray such a complex character. ]
ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR WRITING?   YES / NO / A LITTLE BIT. [ I believe that I can still improve, especially considering that my writing style is constantly changing. But I am not too sad about it! ]
ARE YOU A SENSITIVE PERSON?   YES / NO. / SORTA.
DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL?   —   As long as the criticism comes with the intent of helping me to improve my portrayal, then yes, I do accept it well because it would allow me to look at things from a different point of view and thus help me to realize in which fields I am currently lacking. Due to the fact that the LOL characters can be quite ‘loose’ when it comes to their canons (especially in the case of those who weren’t given much material to work with in the first place), I do believe that everyone can take quite a large amount of creative freedom when portraying them ; however, I do realize that some of my headcanons might sound weird to someone else and I have absolutely nothing against explaining my side of things, the reasons that have motivated me to make Ahri behave in a certain way instead of another. Criticism is always good, as long as it’s not accompanied by free hatred. 
DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU TO EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER?   —  Absolutely yes! I love it when people come and ask for more information about Ahri or when I receive really curious anons about the most mundane aspects of her life.
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?   —  Why not? I might not drop the headcanon since I’m still certain that I am the person who knows my muse the most but I’m not against discussing things with another person, especially if our points of view are really that different. 
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT?   —  I admit that I’d be sad over it since I’m well aware of how much passion and effort I am constantly pouring in my portrayal. However, that wouldn’t be the end of the world! There are so many beautiful Ahris out there who have taken a different path from me and thus developed their muses in a different manner, so I’d just suggest to the person to try and interact with them instead. 
IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT?   —  Ah, you would be surprised to know how many people hate Ahri in the fandom! What saddens me is the fact that such hatred usually stems from really useless and dumb reasons, such as her being more famous than another champion or her receiving more skins than their fave... Even in the roleplay community, I sometimes encountered people who hated her simply because she was “too famous” and that really annoyed me because it’s groundless bashing with no roots to support it. However, I can understand why someone might dislike a character who’s so manipulative and dishonest! Obviously, I wish that people saw more than just this one side of her, but... We can’t have everything in life, sadly.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS?   —   Of course, as long as the person is not rude about it! I am Italian so English is my second language and grammatical errors can and will indeed happen. 
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN?   —  I think I am easy going although I am incredibly shy and this... This is a huge problem when it comes to interacting with others since it might take me a while to respond to messages and open up to someone else. This is a side of myself that I truly wish to change and I’m working really hard on abandoning my comfort zone, but... It takes time, a lot of time. However! Despite my shyness, I can assure you that I’m the softest person you will ever meet and that if you manage to make me feel comfy around you, I will not stop speaking about Ahri and about music and about videogames and anything else that we might have in common! Once I do grow close to someone, I love to talk and meme and share things and... I think I also become slightly clingy? But I always mean good, I swear... I’m just a shy bun who wants to have fun and love you :(

The Indomitable
⇘⇘  name: Shiva ⇘⇘  nicknames: Just Shiva thanks ⇘⇘  age: Unknown ⇘⇘  height:  5 ft 7 ⇘⇘  sexuality: pansexual ⇘⇘  personality: Headstrong, Distrustful, Blunt, Compassionate, Decisive, Confident  
⋯ ⋯ ⋯
Facts
- Cares deeply for all her children. Will fight for them if they wish her to and boy does she put up a fight. - Swears often, does not care in the slightest that this is not lady like and makes her appear confrontational.  - She has chosen her name. Shiva is normally the god of destruction, the name of such a god suits her current and so has made it her own.  - Loves a bottle of red. - Does not have any prejudices against angels, demons or mundanes. She loves them all, however the needs of her own children come first. - Hurt her children and you can be sure she will mark you for suffering. Death is too nice a punishment. - Through her vessel she has picked up English and Hindi. Does know ancient languages like Latin, Aramaic, Tamil, Sanskrit, Greek, Egyptian. 
⋯ ⋯ ⋯
Powers  sourced from the supernatural wiki 
- Mun note: SO just because I feel some of these are just a little TOO powerful I am going to make some editors notes as follows: - The psychic link - I am a bit funny about this. I like the idea she can feel feelings and intentions if she is near another monster, or when they are distressed (powerful emotions go further). Monsters can open up their thoughts to her, but she cannot invade someone’s mind without their permission. She can speak telepathically to all her children. - Compulsion -  She can put ideas into someone’s head and perhaps make them in a more influential state but like hypnosis if it’s too against the Muse’s character it won’t take. She however can magnify desires. THIS will ALWAYS be plotted though. This is also only for her children. Useless against an unturned mundane, those with angel and/or demon blood.  - Angelic Power Negation - I’m going to say she can temporarily do this, but it depends on who she is facing. If it’s an archangel or a second generation angel it’s not going to last very long minutes at most. If she is also too weak she cannot do it.  - Biokinesis - Yeah this is a plot only power. She doesn’t wants to make new kids here but if you are willing to be a test subject... we can have a discussion with the mods and see what works best so there is no godmodding.  - Note for Mads and Crystal: PLEASE tell me if you rather there was something on that wiki for her not to have. I love her to be powerful but I also want others to have a chance against her.
Weaknesses
- Phoenix Ash - Yeah this is the only known thing that can kill her according to the wiki. But Phoenix downs and tears can harm her too. - Iron - I am going to add iron weakens her but doesn’t inhibit her psychic powers. Her physical powers on the other hand are not accessible. Even that playing field a little. 
⋯ ⋯ ⋯ History - Shiva, is one of God’s children believe it or not. Angels did not come first. No he was far more interested in monsters. She was created not long after leviathans. Her purpose was to populate the new world. From her she created dragons. Her first children. - Then god created Angels, Shiva was happy enough for them to exist together, until god then ordered the death of the Leviathans. She was allowed to live but in that moment she knew her life was at the control of her creator. She behaved for a while more concerned for her dragons. - Then mundanes were created and not long after Lucifer was cast out. Questioning their father. She bided her time and thought up the perfect revenge. She would change these creatures for herself. She created many different creatures. Banshees, Vampires, werewolves and shapeshifters. All created with love under the guise of a witch.  - Her youngest creation. Phoenixes where the ones that weakened her. She wanted to try something different and it ended up growing like a cancer. Knowing that they had the potential to kill her she sent them away. It pained her to do this but keeping them close was not an option lest someone were to use them against her. - Due to her weakened nature it was then she was captured and locked away in purgatory. Where she has been until the chaos of Idris allowed some distraction. Dragons managed to find her and release her.  - She found a monastery of nuns and in there she found her vessel. Ysayle, sent there by her abusive parents and found love in god’s embrace. Shiva knew she was perfect and took her. Just as she did she felt the pull of the spell and ended up in the seelie realm. - So here we are confused what the hell has happened in the past 5 millennia and in the middle of some diplomatic mess. This would not be the case if she were on God’s throne.   However for now she is just chilling making sure her kids are okay and finding out what has happened in her absence.

@finnegansson​​ asked: (4, 9, 11 & 13 for the portrayal meme! :) )
4. What aspects of your muse do you most want to explore?
Definitely her parents, how they met, and what led Emily towards a family lineage of Assassins -- all of which I’m currently ( and very slowly ) working on! I’m always going to refine and develop Emily through the threads I have made and will make, but I’m also intrigued about any character’s origins -- who they are, how they define themselves, and IF they even define themselves based on their heritage. If there is legacy, or if their life is the start of one. 
What I’ve come up with Emily’s parents -- mostly her mother -- is that her mother’s bloodline descended from S.hao J.un, and therefore, a long line of Assassins in the family’s generations. Her mother wasn’t an Assassin per se, but she was very much involved with the C.hin.ese Brotherhood. She was one of many researchers, an archeologist for the Precursor sites in China. The only reason why she’d reside in London in the first place was because one of the Precursor artifacts she was looking for had been excavated and transported back to England. While over there, she worked as a seamstress as a coverup gig as she and her fellow Brothers look for their stolen artifact. 
AND THAT’S ALL I GOT SO FAR LOL. I don’t have much motivation to work on it, but I know I’ll finish it eventually :’)
9. What thread types (e.g. angst, fluff) do you think portrays your character at their most genuine?
The easy answer would be angst, but honestly ??? It’s the ‘ mundane, one-on-one hangout conversations ’ type of threads that bring out Emily’s true nature. In battle or in Assassin / Templar mode, she’s closed off and cold hearted. Goal orientated, getting the job done, tactically conspiring to expose her enemies’ weaknesses. But in a normal conversation, NOT as neither Assassin or Templar, she’s sarcastic & quick witted, and also very caring and kind-hearted at her core.
11. Do you write drabbles/headcanons for your character? Do you discuss them OOC, away from Tumblr?
I do! On tumblr, OOC with other muns, and away from Tumblr lol. Most of the stuff out of Tumblr are background info/origin plots that I’m still working out & brainstorming. The headcanons here are based off of existing threads and background info I’ve already provided. As for drabbles, I don’t think I’ve posted any on here yet ??? I do have one in my drafts, but I’m slowly working through that one and it’s self indulgent ( hashtag connily lmao ).
13. Do you have any plans for the future of your muse? Would you like to see them grow a certain way?
I don’t really have any solid plans for Emily in the future, only to further develop her through threads and through discussing potential plots with other muns ( which i’ve been doing more than actually writing lmAOOO ). If anything, I just want to make Emily a believable & relatable character. But I’m more proud of the person she’s becoming. She has come a loooooong way from first conception almost 2 years ago, which was a self indulgent doodle pairing for Connor LMAO. She’s definitely more than that now ; she’s beginning to have her own thoughts and beliefs instead of her just being an extension of myself. Anything is possible for an OC, and especially for Emily.

THE MEGA RP PLOTTING SHEET / MEME.
First and foremost, recall that no one is perfect, we all had witnessed some plotting once which did not went too well, be it because of us or our partner. So here have this, which may help for future plotting. It’s a lot! Yes, but perhaps give your partners some insight? Anyway BOLD what fully applies, italicize if only somewhat.
MUN NAME: Kaiman     AGE: 27       CONTACT: IM, ask, discord
CHARACTER(S): Meninas McAllon, Orihime Inoue, Retsu Unohana, Mashiro Kuna, Tier Harribel, Charlotte Chuuhlhourne
CURRENT FANDOM(S): That I write in? It’s gonna be Bleach, OVW (super selectively im just here for one person), ASOIAF (barely- literally when the mood strikes and that one is private also). I have a lot of current interests in general though.
BLEACH FANDOM(S) YOU HAVE AN AU FOR: While I don’t have anything fully established... I’ve been working with an ASOIAF au (for Harribel & Unohana specifically, though I’m considering it with other characters too), A Dorohedoro AU (for Unohana and Orihime), as well as a Persona AU (more specifically 2&3) for Orihime. I’ve also got a number of post-canon AUs or continuities for all my characters as well!
MY LANGUAGE(S): English, super basic Spanish, barest ASL, fairly good French
THEMES I’M INTERESTED IN FOR RP: FANTASY / SCIENCE FICTION / HORROR / WESTERN / ROMANCE / THRILLER / MYSTERY / DYSTOPIA / ADVENTURE / MODERN / EROTIC / CRIME / MYTHOLOGY / CLASSIC / HISTORY / RENAISSANCE / MEDIEVAL / ANCIENT / WAR / FAMILY / POLITICS / RELIGION / SCHOOL / ADULTHOOD / CHILDHOOD / APOCALYPTIC / GODS / SPORT / MUSIC / SCIENCE / FIGHTS / ANGST / SMUT / DRAMA
PREFERRED THREAD LENGTH: ONE-LINER / 1 PARA / 2 PARA / 3+ / NOVELLA (2para is a sweet spot but it really doesn’t matter to me)
ASKS CAN BE SEND BY: MUTUALS / NON-MUTUALS / PERSONALS / ANONS.
CAN ASKS BE CONTINUED?:   YES / NO    ONLY BY MUTUALS?:  YES / NO
PREFERRED THREAD TYPE: CRACK / CASUAL NOTHING TOO DEEP / SERIOUS / DEEP AS HECK.
IS REALISM / RESEARCH IMPORTANT FOR YOU IN CERTAIN THEMES?:   YES / NO.
ARE YOU ATM OPEN FOR NEW PLOTS?:  YES / NO / DEPENDS.
DO YOU HANDLE YOUR DRAFT / ASK - COUNT WELL?:  YES / NO / SOMEWHAT. (i let them build up too often but some of yall are too quick to reply jkglfjdgsd)
HOW LONG DO YOU USUALLY TAKE TO REPLY?: 24H / 1 WEEK / 2 WEEKS / 3+ / MONTHS / YEARS / DEPENDS ON MOOD AND INSPIRATION, AND IF I’M BUSY
I’M OKAY WITH INTERACTING: ORIGINAL CHARACTERS / A RELATIVE OF MY CHARACTER (AN OC) / DUPLICATES / MY FANDOM / CROSSOVERS / MULTI-MUSES / SELF-INSERTS / PEOPLE WITH NO AU VERSE FOR MY FANDOM / CANON-DIVERGENT PORTRAYALS / AU-VERSIONS (italicized are okay, but under really specific circumstances)
DO YOU POST MORE IC OR OOC?: IC / OOC.
ARE YOU SELECTIVE WITH FOLLOWING OTHERS?: YES / NO / DEPENDS  
BEST WAYS TO APPROACH YOU FOR RP/PLOTTING:  I’m pretty anal about plotting in that I often refuse to RP unless it’s been plotted or I liked a starter call. And in the case of the latter, I’ll still hop into DMs to plot further depending on where the thread takes us. That said, the best way to reach me is through IMs or Discord (available on request). The only time I turn down plots is if I feel like it would put my character in an OOC situation, and I especially dislike my character being one-sidedly used as a tool to further another character’s development without anything being reciprocated (this happens often especially wrt my healer characters)
WHAT EXPECTATIONS DO YOU HOLD TOWARDS YOUR PLOTTING PARTNER: Communication is really important to me, especially with regards to comfort regarding certain plot elements, and approaching other in-character situations that might have multiple different solutions. I think it’s important that both characters involved get the same amount of development out of writing a thread, and I really hate the idea of being imbalanced as far as that goes (more on that below). That said, I’m always perfectly down to spitball plot ideas and tweak/refine other concepts because I really do enjoy plotting, it’s just super important to me that things are communicated clearly. I get extremely distressed and frustrated IRL if people just kinda throw stuff at me, and it often kills my muse.
WHEN YOU NOTICE THE PLOTTING IS RATHER ONE-SIDED, WHAT DO YOU DO?: I make an active effort to come up with plots that are engaging and beneficial fairly equally to both parties. I mentioned this above, but especially in the case of writing my healer characters, I have a huge disdain for characters being used as tools to further development while getting nothing substantial in return. That said, I try to be very aware of this in terms of a potential writing partner being on the receiving end. IMO it feels like shit, but I definitely don’t want to make someone else feel that way either. That said, so long as stuff is plotted out clearly and me and the writer are both okay with it, then it’s fine. COMMUNICATION IS KEY, BASICALLY.
HOW DO YOU USUALLY PLOT WITH OTHERS, DO YOU GIVE INPUT OR LEAVE MOST WORK TOWARDS YOUR PARTNER?:  I kinda just like to throw spaghetti at the wall and whatever sticks, I’m down to fly with. I have a lot of ideas, but again, I like to give my partners the option of doing whatever they’re comfortable with, and h aving equal contribution opportunities.
WHEN A PARTNER DROPS THE THREAD, DO YOU WISH TO KNOW?:   YES / NO / DEPENDS.
- AND WHY?: Everyone has their own circumstances, I really don’t mind. If it’s one I’ve been especially looking forward to, I might be bummed, but it’s no skin off my nose really.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY LEAD YOU TO DROP A THREAD?: I don’t typically drop threads or abandon them during their writing. The only thing that would make me do so is offensive content, or huge plot elements being introduced that makes my character ooc and wasn’t previously discussed during plotting.
WILL YOU TELL YOUR PARTNER?:   YES / NO / DEPENDS.
IS COMMUNICATION IN THE RPC IMPORTANT TO YOU? YES / NO.
-AND WHY?: I already feel like I need to take a lot of extra steps to understand others and be understood, and that isn’t something often reciprocated. In my experience, just honest communication is the quickest solution to issues that crop up during writing. For those who HAVE actually had me reach out to them in this way, I really do try to be polite and respectful while being straightforward so the situation can be resolved without any hurt feelings.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH ABSOLUTE HONESTY, EVEN IF IT MAY MEANS HEARING SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT YOU AND/OR PORTRAYAL?: As long as it’s constructive, and not merely negativity, I welcome it. After all, I can’t fix a huge flaw in my writing without having an alternative solution. I’m open to accepting feedback and critique, especially wrt Meninas since my portrayal is quite a large departure from popular fanon perception (from those who choose to pay attention to her, lol), but I also thrive on suggested remedies and solutions to issues in my writing.
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE SUCH SITUATION IN A MATURE WAY? YES / NO.
WHY DO YOU RP AGAIN, IS THERE A GOAL?: I like to tell stories, and I like to tell narratives that take root in emotional expression and how those feelings can act as a vehicle to the storytelling. I want to move people through feeling, because it can be a powerful experience. I use a lot of inspiration from themes in my other favorite series, as well as inspiration from my own personal experiences as well. I tend to pick characters who have one or two traits in common with myself, whether those be negative or positive. I’m very excited to share all the things I have planned for Meninas, as she’s certainly my most ambitious project to date.
WISHLIST, BE IT PLOTS OR SCENARIOS:  For Meninas specifically, I want to interact with Squad 11 and Squad 9 during the CFYOW verse I have planned. Hisagi specifically would be interesting because of the clash of ideals, in addition to being the only other living person to be able to relate to the horror of being under Pepe’s thrall. I’d also like to steal Ikkaku’s bankai, and have more fight scenes. Lastly, Meninas doesn’t do much of anything in CFYOW, so more interactions with Mayuri and Squad 12 would be cool.
THEMES I WON’T EVER RP / EXPLORE: I don’t mind briefly referencing darker themes in my writing, especially wrt my own personal experiences, but I want to be very clear that I refuse to write at length or romanticize these themes. I refuse to write anything involving rape, homophobia, transphobia, racism, pedophilia, etc, with this in mind.
WHAT TYPE OF STARTERS DO YOU PREFER / DISLIKE, CAN’T WORK WITH?: Unless previously discussed, I struggle with starters that have a character pushing mine away. If the situation is super OOC for my character to be in, or frankly too mundane. In Meninas’ case, most domestic stuff is a snoozefest for me (but I LOVE this for other characters).
WHAT TYPE OF CHARACTERS CATCH YOUR INTEREST THE MOST?:  *saoirse ronan voice* Women. UHHH but no, for real... I like fleshing out female characters quite a bit. Personality types are varied, but I like characters who have some level of nuance to their emotional expression whether it’s an internal or external struggle. I like powerful women too, and the exploration of “strength” as a theme (esp at the intersection of the theme of “femininity” and its expressions) whether this is external strength or internal fortitude. I think I play a wide variety of characters who have vastly different thoughts, beliefs, and forms of expression, but I try to find something in common with who I portray to act as a touch stone. I also like characters who have themes of “justice” and nuanced morality.
WHAT TYPE OF CHARACTERS CATCH YOUR INTEREST THE LEAST?: 99% of male characters. And I also hate tsunderes gjklsdjfd
WHAT ARE YOUR STRONG ASPECTS AS RP PARTNER?: I really like my writing style especially wrt using emotion to set a cinematic scene and overall tone. I think I’m really strong with conveying emotion, especially with things that are often unspoken. I try to communicate with partners clearly and establish rapports. I love writing headcanons and have a TON of plot ideas as well.
WHAT ARE YOUR WEAK ASPECTS AS RP PARTNER?: Oh I’m the slowest replier on the planet and I’m apparently intimidating lol
DO YOU RP SMUT?:  YES / NO / DEPENDS.
DO YOU PREFER TO GO INTO DETAIL?: YES / NO / DEPENDS (i prefer to go into detail about sensations, rather than the actual acts as it comes off stifled and weirdly technical)
ARE YOU OKAY WITH BLACK CURTAIN?: YES / NO
- WHEN DO YOU RP SMUT? MORE OUT OF FUN OR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?: Honestly I just do what Meninas tells me.
- ANYTHING YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO RP THERE?: Kink stuff is weird territory for me, absolutely gotta be discussed in private and comfort levels clearly established.
ARE SHIPS IMPORTANT TO YOU?: YES / NO. Relationships in general rule, and while I do have a romantic ship that plays a large part in Meninas’ plot, the romance comes secondary to the plot itself. I really enjoy writing and developing romances, but more than that I like establishing connections. I love the relationships I’ve got planned with Giselle, Candice, Liltotto, and Bambietta because there are going to be a LOT of drastically different things that inform my portrayal of Meninas coming from these relationships (both positive and negative, but ultimately places of growth).
WOULD YOU SAY YOUR BLOG IS SHIP-FOCUSED?: YES / NO. Like I said, plot comes first. And especially in the case of Meninas, she has a lot of self exploration and reflection to do before she can engage in a healthy relationship or address any feelings of romance. I do place a large focus on the formation of her relationships and how they shape the way she relates to other people and grows as a person, but I am extremely sensitive to making sure I’m not writing a female character who’s entire development is dependent on a romance with a male character- perish the thought lol.
DO YOU USE READ MORE?:  YES / NO / SOMETIMES WHEN I WRITE LONG STUFF.
ARE YOU:  MULTI-SHIP / SINGLE-SHIP / DUAL-SHIP  —  MULTIVERSE / Singleverse.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO EXPLORE THE MOST IN YOUR SHIPS?: For Meninas, it’s a matter of her acknowledging, understanding, and accepting that she can be worth more than how useful she is to others. She had a series of traumatizing and character defining experiences regarding love, romance, and personal worth that strongly shaped the way she perceives her relationships to others and her emotional expression. Trust is another huge factor for me, Meninas needs to be around someone she believes in. Strength is another aspect. She likes someone who challenges her, keeps her on her toes, and is sturdy like physically. Because she’ll break you. THAT SAID- Meninas tends to be open wrt her body, but closed off when it comes to her heart. Hate to see it, love to write it.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH PRE-ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS?: YES / NO. As long as the premise makes sense. I like relationships to have some matter of significance and planning, especially because of how I’ve written the way Meninas picks and chooses who to get close to in Silbern depending on what suits her interests. Genuine friendship is a weird thing for Meninas, as most of her relationships are formed out of convenience. If you aren’t useful to Meninas’ schemeing, then she has no interest in dealing with you beyond platitudes and keeping up appearances and will interact with you as such.
► SECTION ABOUT YOUR MUSE.
- WHAT COULD POSSIBLY MAKE YOUR MUSE INTERESTING TOWARDS OTHERS, WHY SHOULD THEY RP WITH THIS PARTICULAR CHARACTER OF YOURS NOW, WHAT POSSIBLE PLOTS DO THEY OFFER?: WE LOVE DUPLICITOUS WOMEN! No, but at the core of my Meninas characterization, the sentiment is “Everything is not as it appears” even down to the relationships she has with others. Meninas’ entire personality is constructed as a survival tactic from an early age (in addition to being a way to make herself more useful as a tool to others, and thus seen as having more worth in general), and as a result, she hasn’t really allowed herself to live life as a fully realized person. Her plots generally offer silent rebellion, playing a role in regards to her self presentation, chaotic mean girl level bullshit, and cool fights/training. Also you get to interact with a big buff lady. That said about her personality, it depends on the verse. CFYOW Meninas will be more unhinged, while post-CFYOW Meninas will be more honest and rowdy.
- WITH WHAT TYPE OF MUSES DO YOU USUALLY STRUGGLE TO RP WITH?:  Muses who are standoffish or disengage right at the start. Meninas doesn’t interact with people without a certain purpose, so if they aren’t interested, she’s not going to be either.
- WHAT DO THEY DESIRE, IS THEIR GOAL?:  Revenge, strength, redefining what “power” means in terms of how the world works. She wants to see the Shinigami dead for their role in her parents deaths, and feels the same about Yhwach.
- WHAT CATCHES THEIR INTEREST FIRST WHEN MEETING SOMEONE NEW?:  Ability, potential threat, perceived strength, where loyalty lies; how potentially useful you can be to her.
- WHAT DO THEY VALUE IN A PERSON?:  Strength both in a physical sense, but also in belief and convictions. Honesty, and understanding the flaws of the world they live in.
- WHAT THEMES DO THEY LIKE TALKING ABOUT?:  Fighting, beauty, freedom, abolishing Quincy classism based on blood purity, music, fashion, blacksmithing.
- WHICH THEMES BORE THEM?: Blind loyalty to Yhwach, talking about the horrors of war as if it doesn’t concern them, Bambietta, Quincy supremacy,
- DID THEY EVER WENT THROUGH SOMETHING TRAUMATIC?:  Her parents were killed in the first Quincy war and she was left abandoned and grew up literally fighting for her life and living on the streets. She often likens fighting pits to the bowels of Hell (and I often play with the ironic theme of crawling out of hell to appear as an angel or something divine). She is consumed by a quest for revenge, and strongly believes her ends will justify the means taken to fulfill her ideal. As a direct result of these experiences, her emotional health and maturity is severely affected, and she doesn’t view herself as a person worthy or capable of feeling as much as a tool who, in the right hands, can be utilized to bring about the revenge she craves.
- WHAT COULD LEAD TO AN INSTANT KILL?:  (1) Men who feel non-consensually entitled to her body. That said, she’s done a fairly excellent job at maintaining control and an unassuming threatening nature despite the widely known understanding of her Schrift ability and how it augments. (2) Someone touching her Quincy cross, as it’s her most precious and private item. (3) Anyone who dares get in the way of her plans that can’t be manipulated in some other useful aspect.
- IS THERE SOMEONE /-THING THEY HATE?:  Meninas hates Yhwach, and the Shinigami most predominately, but she also harbors disgust for Hollows as an instinct. That said, her young life was spent detached from Quincy culture (in addition to being a Gemischt and the inherent isolation that comes with that status), so despite her early induction into the Wandenreich ranks, Meninas does not harbor the same Quincy nationalism and loyalty that others of her race do. They’re a means to an end, and just happen to help her become stronger.
IS YOUR MUSE EASY TO APPROACH?: YES / NO. - Best ways to approach them?: She comes off as easy to approach, but if you want genuine Meninas I’m sorry the number you’re trying to reach has been disconnected. Goodbye!
SOMETHING YOU MAY STILL WANT TO POINT OUT ABOUT YOUR MUSE?: Everything I’ve written about her is based in headcanon! I’ve got both a lengthy biography as well as headcanons gathered in the sidebar links on my blog.
CONGRATS!!! You managed it, now tag your mutuals! ♥
TAGGED BY: @bazzardburner​ TAGGING: i think this has made its rounds so steal it!
