@burninq | Caleb x Calcifer ⤷ send me a ‘🎨’ for an aesthetic or mood collage for our muses.

I want excitement; and I don’t care what form it takes or what I pay for it, so long as it makes my heart beat.

observe! for Ana :3

@burninq send  “OBSERVE” for a mini-drabble of how MY MUSE sees and/or thinks about YOUR MUSE while they do something completely ordinary.

     she's heard you could tell a lot about a person by watching them, taking in every minute detail down to gestures or mannerisms. so why does she feel like she knew even less about him now than she did when they'd first met?       they have moments of clarity; when everything about him is laid bare for her to see. a vulnerability she envies. despises. has wanted to return to let him know he's not alone. he's seen. he's understood. he wasn't judged for his weaknesses.        tolerating his flights of fancy, dramatic tendencies taking hold that poke fun at the very world around him and everything in it.        her annoyance toward him is lessened in those times, precious few seconds when they can be free to be themselves. he laughs and she absorbs the sound, fighting a smile. frosty demeanor that's clung to stubbornly thaws.        wondering why he spent his time with her and what he wanted out of her; a million questions she'd given up on asking. knew better than to voice them because she already knew how he would react and she doesn't want him to be right about anything.       her observations of him were hers alone, never to be shared. the reason crystal clear to her and the fear that he wouldn't take it seriously second to the one that believed he would. if she told him what she saw in him, things would change and she liked them just fine the way they were. for a little while at least she can pretend to dislike him.

peony :   what would a   ‘  happy life  ’   look like in your muse’s eyes ?

peony :   what would a   ‘  happy life  ’   look like in your muse’s eyes ?

you're probably not going to like this outcome, actually, but i'm gonna be completely honest with you. a 'happy life' for Calcifer most likely won't ever exist to its full extent. he's had a lot of traumas and heartbreaks in his life that have put him in a mental state that doesn't necessarily allow this perfect scenario to exist. he always finds ways to ruin the good things in his life ( i.e. he starts unnecessary fights with his significant other when things are going perfectly well or he starts getting self deprecating to an alarming degree ) and it effects his happiness level. i don't think Calcifer can have a happy life and that stems from the fact that his sister is dead. the moment Annabelle Orion passed away was the moment any semblance of pure happiness was wiped away. his source of happiness came from his little sister. she was everything to him and losing her had left a permanent hole in his heart.

a happy life would consist of his sister being alive and that's just not possible. so unfortunately, as much as i'd like to say Calcifer is allowed happiness to its full extent, i don't think he'll ever get there. no amount of love from a significant other is going to make the pain of losing his baby sister go away. so unless they can bring her back from the dead, a "happy life" is not in the cards for him.

logically, it's been over 300 years since his sister passed away and he's had time to grieve and deal with that loss, and he's been perfectly content, but content is all it will ever really be. i don't think Calcifer sees a "happy life" for himself, no matter how much he may love someone - the pain and trauma of losing his little sister and the rest of his family has left him wounded in ways he couldn't even begin to explain.

amaryllis : what is something or someone that your muse takes pride in ? how do they express that pride ?

amaryllis : what is something or someone that your muse takes pride in ? how do they express that pride ?

this is a complicated answer, but i'd like to say that first and foremost, Calcifer is very proud of his work. whether that be killing or his work as a historian, he's very proud of what he does. he's a bit of a showoff when he's particularly proud of himself- say he kills a particularly bad person, like a serial killer/rap1st/etc that either wasn't caught or got off scott free . . . he would make it known that this person was dead by dressing up his murder. this would be a death that wouldn't get burned to a crisp, he would make art out of it and make something beautiful out of it. he would show his pride by dressing it up. he wouldn't get caught, of course - he has no fingerprints to trace the murder back to him and even if he left evidence of any kind, there's simply no record of him unless we're talking about a young man that "died" in the 1600's and that's awfully hard to explain.

when it comes to his work as a historian, it's much more similar, though hardly as gruesome. if he finds a particular piece of history that he's proud of or he's discovered something that he thinks is fascinating, he would decorate it and show it off. Calcifer feeds off compliments and positive ( or negative ) review. the more attention he gets, the happier he is. the more proud he is. Calcifer works hard at what he does and he likes to show it off. can't really blame him for that now can we ??

note: Calcifer doesn't put people on a high enough pedestal to feel prideful about them UNLESS he's shaped them to follow after him. if he takes a sort of apprentice, that is the only way he will feel pride towards another in a way that really matters. he might be proud of you for not smoking that last cigarette, but he's not going to show you off for it. make sense ?? Calcifer is very particular about the "someones" he puts pride into. it has to be something big or he won't put in that much effort. i'm sorry, that's just the way he is. if you make him dinner, he'll be proud of you, but he's not going to go to social media and boast about it. these things have to be particular and they have to be big. then and only then will he show you off to the world.

Calcifer is a very jealous person, though he probably won't act like it right off the bat. he might be dismissive of the whole thing, but trust me, if you make him jealous, he's most likely planning someone's death and not in a very nice manner.

i've done 2 replies and i will try to do more when i get off work. tomorrow my queue will start posting.

[burninq]

your assigned tarot card is:

the hanged man

does it make you feel better– taking all this blame? the world is heavy. does the weight on your shoulders envelop you? does it make you feel safe? why does the need for grounding outweigh your sinking feet? suspend yourself– tie yourself to something if you must. you have a wonderful gift. looking at the world through compound eyes is a test of empathy. you have the heart for it. do not sink below your eyes. / NUMBER: 12 / UPRIGHT: pause, surrender, letting go, new perspectives / REVERSED: delays, resistance, stalling, indecision

i guess this is going to be Cal's full time home now since @burninq still hasn't been restored. expect some changes to take place and for emburns to become burninq in the next couple of days.
