“Sorry, that sounded more menacing than I intended. I’m just telling you how these people think. They have rules, dogma. They want us all bound to their system so they can control us. I don’t do well with that sort of stuff. That’s why I ran away from home in the first place.”

@bloomdragon​  sent  a  letter   ...

so i did a redesign of hapi’s time skip outfit because the more i looked at it the more it looked weird to me. i wanted to keep some of the more impractical elements to her outfit like the boob window & the corset thing because it just fits well into this fantasy setting but i wanted to make everything come together in a way that actually makes sense for her story. there were a lot of elements of her original design that felt just thrown in or just looked plain weird (the loincloth, the side pieces of armor, the extra jewelry) which was a big reason why i decided to redesign her. 

small notes: simplified her outfit to be a blouse & trousers tucked into knee high hard - toed boots. incorporated the yellow - green throughout the outfit by adding decorative top stitching to her blouse, basing her earrings off that color, & having her laces & strings match.  cloak is pretty much exactly the same, just longer. she often has the cloak covering her clothing & hood up. reduced her jewelry to just a pair of simple earrings - silver, a relatively inexpensive metal, & green aventurine, a common & inexpensive gemstone that is considered one of the luckiest stones. ironic considering her background, only time will tell if she gains any luck from it. i kept the outfit much simpler and didn’t bother incorporating armor or class outfits into it because i imagine this to be a common day - to - day outfit. armor, bags, & other things can easily be layered on top of this to make it more versatile.

BOLD  what  applies  to  your  muse       /       repost ,  don’t  reblog .

THE FAIRY .    chipped nail polish.  glitter highlight. tall trees with smooth bark. tangled hair. the taste of cinnamon sugar. talking too loud and too fast.  overgrown flowers in your hair. crumbling buildings reclaimed by nature. flirting. walking home at three am with no coat. platonic hand holding. blowing smoke out of your nose.  dragonfly wings.  chaotic good. freckles.  fairy rings. secret meetings.  gender nonconformity. leather.  smudged eyeliner.  forbidden fruit.

THE REAPER .     computer errors.  a shiver down your spine.  haunting beauty. hard liquor.  crowns of thorns.  shadowed alleyways.  decaying plant matter.  shattered mirrors and broken glass. corrupted memories.  stopped clocks. the scent of stale cigarettes.  tattered black hoodies. walking your friends home. the crescent moon.  the sea. a graveyard on a foggy day.  cold rings on cold fingers.  absolution. looking out of the window of an airplane.  soft kisses.

THE WITCH .    graffiti.  pretending to know what you’re doing.  worn paperback books.growing up too fast.  parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.  lace and combat boots.  moth wings. candles on every surface.a weathered deck of cards. turning the music up.fireflies in jars.calloused fingers. drawing on your skin. sunlight filtering through clouds.petrichor. a dying rose in a jar. wearing a crystal pendant. illusions of spells.  black cats.  mint gum.   chapped lips. dirt under your fingernails.the cycle of life and death.

THE WOLF .     murders of crows.frostbitten leaves.  wolves howling at midnight.  knocking on your door. leaving food out for stray animals.  the twang of an acoustic guitar. honey. tiny red buds on trees.  claw marks on the walls. golden eyes.  slightly too long stubble.  knitted fingerless gloves. sleeping on the forest floor.always find your way back home.

      The smell of the ocean was undeniable as the familiar and nostalgic scent of saltwater and sea breeze rode the winds from the west. The winged stallion slowed and began to gently drift to the ground as gracefully as the feathers that adorned it; the woman sat upon his back never turning her gaze from the horizon. The clouds that hung above kept her in a fair mood, no harsh sunlight to dampen her spirits for the time being. 

      “I don’t believe I’ve ever inquired about your knowledge of the ocean.”, her voice came before she turned her head to face her companion, “You never are one to speak much of your past, but humor me for a spell if you would. Have you ever been? Do you know how to swim? That might be important considering that you do know monsters lurk in the depths of the water, correct?” She was chatting a lot; and to someone who didn’t know her well perhaps they would have thought this normal. 

         Well manicured nails began to dig into her own flesh, her gaze became rather avoidant. The knot in her stomach twisted tighter and had she been any less of a lady she suspected that she might as well have lost her lunch in this very moment. How long had it been since she had been home? Calling it home began to tug at her heartstrings and she turned her eyes upwards to the sky, the clouds were starting to darken and the scent of rain began to mingle among the air. 

          “I haven’t been home in a fair amount of time, not from lack of wanting to be, I assure you. Although I still find my hands trembling; I know they are no longer there. I sometimes find myself wondering what they would think of me now, could they see me that is.”

          The Pegasus fluffed his iridescent feathers and Constance moved to smooth a hand over the creature, in a way to also calm her own nerves. 

                   “Forgive the bleak topic, worry not, I’m still excited to show you my home.”

                                             There was the softest bit of laughter. 

                                                          “Our home, rather.”

what filled the salty air  for the recent majority of their trip was only the distant sounds of waves crashing & the crunching of dirt beneath hooves. beneath her, her horse trotted at a comfortable speed - quick enough to keep up with constance's pegasus without tiring herself out. what felt like days had been hours on the trail, time felt even slower without the musical rambling of her beloved partner. yet hapi knew better than to pry. her intuition, one of the few things she could trust, led her to believe that soon they would arrive at their destination. her focus shifted the quick change of scenery. what was oak trees & green grass became white sands & patches of sun - dried dirt. a disorientingly familiar, yet not at all unpleasant, scent melted into the petrichor radiating from the ground.

   the beginnings of hapi's daydreaming were interrupted by a welcomed voice. a blink, then a turn of the head to the pegasus' rider who began bombarding her with questions after landing. it took a few moments for her to process all that was said to her - after all, she had not been expecting any chatter for miles to come. though, upon further reflection, she supposed the two were closer to their destination than she had previously thought. a hum permeated from behind pursed lips before she found her words.

   " no, i haven't been to the ocean before.  i recognize the smell though - of the air, i mean. kinda. i don't know why. maybe i was taken through here at some point. " she turned her head to the waters ahead. " i was taught how to swim in the lake by my village but i'm rusty. i haven't tried since i was little. you might have to come to my rescue from those scary monsters. "

   despite her attempt at a lighthearted jest, the tension in the air was palpable. something heavy weighed constance down & it wasn't hard to figure out. returning to one's home after so long was never easy, no matter the circumstances. hapi felt much the same when she took her wife to her own secluded village. there was an understanding between the two, & so she allowed nature to do the talking until the time was right to begin again.

   the quiet only remained for a short time before she explained herself. her reasoning proved to be unsurprising - the deflection proved to be the opposite. soft, melodic giggles unlike her usual haughty laughter prefaced the simple little phrase that meant the most & proved it to be genuine - a shared home, the most she could have ever asked for. lips curled into a smile at the reminder that she found herself somebody who would wholeheartedly stick by her, & her the same.

   " i don't know your family,   but they'd be idiots if they weren't proud of you right now. chin up, coco. we'll figure everything out. " a pause, taken to stretch stiffened arms. " you want to take a break before we keep going ?  might be good for everyone since we've been at it for hours. our home isn't going anywhere, after all. "
