Yeah I have this one muse who's super grizzled but suave. Very dangerous and deadly. Takes herself too seriously. Anyway what's her name? Pony.

plots please 🙏?

Send me ❝plots please❞ and I’ll respond with 3 (or more) interesting plots / relationships / connections I can think of for our muses. There is no pressure for us to write any of them, but it’s a great starting point for you to get a sense of how I think our muses might interact and what sorts of plots I’m most interested in happening between them

I just, I just need to further confirm how absolutely perfect Iago's post-game shop would be for plots 🥺 Pony can help Iago acquire items, or help them remove curses (well, she can try), or just shop there herself... Girl is so intrigued and is here to support a friend's small business <3

Ah fuck I've got to think of two more now... Kind of started with some top tier shit.

0% bedside manner whenever Iago needs care. Vigor can bring the blankets and the healing potions while Pony just pats Iago on the head and pretend nothing is wrong. Will she help do mundane tasks in Iago's shop any day of the week? Yes. Would she protect Iago with her life? Absolutely. But in terms of actual care, the best you're going to get is a butchered attempt at her Auntie's home cooking in a vain effort to help Iago feel better.

Infinite fascination with Iago's diary... 👁👄👁 want to read it so badly... (Pony keeps her own, but it's mostly just business mixed with curt jabs e.g. "Dislike the bear. Reminder: annoy Mizora")

Deep fear and confusion over Iago's heritage, followed by protectiveness. They don't have to be close, but Pony will fight god on principle along.

characters who are so inauthentic. characters who only show what they want other people to see of them. characters who simply must have control over every part of themselves. do you even get it

She wouldn't say "Will you marry me?" No. Pony would say "You should marry me." It's not a question, it's just a matter of fact recommendation 💀

Writing fmk replies then queuing this, but Pony is surprisingly open to the idea of marriage. Her first impressions of marriage weren't the traditional sort, but rather matelotage. Because of this, Pony would only want an informal affair that guarantees inherited wealth and property upon death.

What she would also want, but would be reluctant to admit, is the guarantee of loyalty and commitment. Though she might mention this accidentally, either in moments of passion or during an argument. ❝I don't even like you I just want the tax breaks...❞

Pony is open to poly shipping but I can't promise she'll be normal about it 💀

Also, naturally Pony has many regrets, but one she'll readily admit to is not learning how to cook like her Auntie. Little Pony was too busy learning how to fight and ride from her Uncle, or reading star maps and history books to learn cooking. Her Auntie kept trying, even gifting her recipes when she left home.

[saltscars]

Pony misses her family so much. Nervara used to threaten Pony by saying she'll hurt her Auntie and Uncle so she'd not written to them in years. They do not know if she is alive or dead 😢

Starfall

It was a medal of fortitude to wear one's scars proudly, to show the world what you once survived, and may yet survive again. However, Eponis wonders if the same can be said for enduring insult. But this was just a game, one that Hansel knew well, quickly twisting her little jab into a circle parry.

      His question captures her attention immediately. ❝Walls cannot cut, only protect,❞ she declares, frankly baffled by the assertion that keeping oneself guarded was anything other than an act of wisdom, borne from experience. But those walls threaten to betray her now, as Eponis' heart drowns in dread. She has said too much. She did not deny or dismiss the claim as she should have, as her answer only served to validate it. Fingers that danced along the rim of the glass suddenly halt, gripping it tight. Her jaw flexes and tenses, biting her tongue as she fixes her gaze upon Hansel, wearing a tight-lipped smile.

      ❝Few are worthy of my time, let alone my affection. So, if you aren't buying me another drink, then you'll need to make yourself useful some other way. What do you need of me, anyway?❞

Hansel's playful laugh spills from his lips like velvet, rich and decadent as he lounges back in his seat, eyeing Eponis with playful indulgence. He raises his glass with a flourish, letting the drink slosh lightly before taking a slow, deliberate sip. ❝Oh, sweet thing,❞ he purrs, ❝if I had a bruise for every sharp tongue that tried to cut me down, I'd be a walking tapestry.❞ His violet eyes sparkle with mischief, meeting hers over the rim of the glass. ❝But I'll let you keep trying. It's adorable watching you puff up like that.❞

He leans forward, propping his chin lazily on his hand, the smile on his lips nothing short of wicked.

❝But tell me, darling,❞ he purrs, ❝what cuts deeper—your tongue or those walls you've built around that oh-so-fragile heart?❞ He tilts his glass toward her with a teasing grin. ❝Give me an answer worth savoring, and I might just buy you the next round.❞

RIVAIN — An ancient Grey Warden fortress sits among sparkling waters and lush greenery of the Rivain Coast; the Lords of Fortune call this paradise home. The servants of the gods have their own plans, however, and threaten to turn this sanctuary into a battlefield.
