[honorhearted]

Like this post for a short starter!

[fatelcved]

may i impulsively offer a sweet kaiya for your inboxes in this trying time?

[sunhalf]

like for a real short starter. if i write anything over a paragraph shoot me with a gun

[shdwtouch]

me: I should post a starter call... me: -notices my starter call from before this class started- me: -nudges it under the rug-

ANYWAY. inbox call !! like this for 2-4 memes guaranteed, most likely from Shade. multis can specify if they like, otherwise I will just pick muse(s). <3 meme tag highly preferred !! if I cannot find memes on your blog... then I'm just gonna send you stuff from my meme tag tbh. no previous interaction required, mutuals only.

[courtesy notice that you do not have to read further. its just me talking. should ya read it ? I mean, if you want ? I'd appreciate it. ; w ; but tldr just like this post for memes, kay ? k ! see ya in your inbox ! ]

and, of course, it goes without saying but you are under no obligation to answer any or all of the memes I said ! if none of them vibe then delete them ! idc ! poke me to send you more, I will do it no questions asked ! this is a no judgement zone, muse and energy be fickle so pls pls pls know I am not gonna be upset if you don't answer the asks I send, ever, no matter the reason ! (tho on the off-chance I cross a boundary and make you uncomfy I do encourage you to let me know, as it was most likely unintentional. but I want to know if you feel off about our interactions, period !)

I will most likely reblog this a couple times before going in for the inbox spam. these will, obviously, be completed in waves... and if you so wish you can unlike then like this post again to receive even more asks after you've received the first wave !

also, this is me, Puffin, giving you, my friend, permission to come smack me if after a day or two you do not receive asks. this is mostly in context of my wifi is shit and tumblr eats everything so its very likely I sent you asks and they vanished into the abyss, but you might also be keeping me on track by reminding me, which I appreciate. so yeah. no asks ? feel free to knock my door down to get them.

❛ 𝐈 𝐀𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 ❜

Sentence starters from quotes from the movie in question! Remember to specify for multi-muse blogs and change pronouns as needed.

"I have heard myself say that a house with a death in it can never again be bought or sold by the living. It can only be borrowed from the ghosts that have stayed behind."

"The memories of their own deaths are faces on the wrong side of wet windows, smeared by rain. Impossible to properly see."

"For those who have stayed, their prison is their never seeing. And left all alone, this is how they rot."

"Of her books, I have read fewer than nine pages of only a single one...and all the while suppressing a very bad taste. I am not even sure of the title."

"I can be sure of only a very few things. The pretty thing you are looking at is me. Of this I am sure."

"It has always been that wearing white reassures the sick that I can never be touched, even as darkness folds in on them from every side, closing like a claw."

"You had so much to say in those first years. When you lived here with me. Enough to fill a book. And then... nothing."

"You turned your back. You turned your back, and you turned your back so many times... that soon your feet were facing the wrong way altogether."

"I did nothing but sit and listen. I made no noises. I welcomed no visitors. And here, now, you've come back. But only to hurt me, only to show yourself, but not to let me see."

"You poor, pretty things whose prettiness holds only one guarantee. Learn to see yourself as the rest of the world does, and you'll keep. But left alone, with only your own eyes looking back at you, and even the prettiest things rot. You fall apart like flowers."

"Couldn't sleep. The first night in a place always weirds me out, you know."

"Why would you say that to me right now, in the middle of the night when I'm here all alone?"

"I can't imagine what I'd say if he did. I mean, what does a person say? "Remember that time we almost but then didn't get married? 'Cause I do.""

"On my very first night in the house. A death. But I cannot see it. Not yet. But I can feel it shifting its weight from bare foot to bare foot."

"So that's where you're hiding. They told me there wasn't one of you, and I don't mind telling you, I was a little worried."

"Because time spent in a house with a death in it passes more quickly, you know. Eleven months. Passing like the night."

"This is how you rot."

"It was fine when I first moved in, but now I think it's gotten much worse in the past few weeks."

"Possibly a mold of some kind. Likely there is some plumbing behind the wall, a pipe that runs up to the bathroom."

"You say you haven't seen it anywhere else?"

"It's just that a confusion like that is usually with the memory of someone significant."

"Heavens to Betsy, no, I haven't. No, um, I scare too easily."

"Well, there is a not-very-good movie, if you prefer."

"That would be much, much worse. I'd likely run down to the road screaming. And who'd look after [name]?"

"The pretty thing you are looking at now is me."

"I left the world just as I came into it. I am wearing nothing but blood."

"I am as white as a sail. I tell this often to myself. I tell myself that nothing gets on me. But it does me little good. The words pour right through. I am too full of holes."

"Grow up, you dumb old scaredy-cat. It's just a bunch of silly ol' make-believe typed words on paper."

"And even if I was fiendishly tempted, I have refrained from pressing the subject with her."

"Though it seems safe to assume that, as endings go, [Name]'s was not an especially pretty one."

"Quite dead but not quite buried. Carelessly concealed in a grave too shallow to be rightly called a grave at all. Better to call it a... hiding place."

"The walls and windows are as thin as bones. A person could walk right through them. Just up and leave this old house."

"I haven't really looked. I... I kind of hate the sight of it."

"I can sometimes see her struggle with the shape of it, more as if trying to remember a song she once heard, and not as she might remember an event."

"How does one forget something as essential as that? How does one forget a death?"

"Maybe it is the body that remembers. And without the body, there is nothing to hold to."

"We make our own ghosts by looking, but pretending not to see...and then forgetting ourselves altogether."

"It is a terrible thing to look at oneself and to all the while see nothing. Surely this is how we make our own ghosts. We make them out of ourselves."

Duck Girls Inbox Call

I know I owe Things™, so these won't necessarily get responded to quickly if we turn them into threads or anything. But I'm just kinda feeling like I'm not doing much with my duck girls at present, none of my owed drafts are for either of them. So:

Like or reply to this post, and I will go to your blog, find an ask meme you've reblogged recently, and send you something from it as one or other of my duck muses:

(DWD91) Gosalyn

or

(DT17) Webby

You can specify which one you want or I can pick if you don't have a preference; however if you are a multimuse blog please specify which of YOUR muses you want the ask for!

We DO NOT have to be mutuals, nor do we need to have interacted before; sending memes is a great first starting point, after all! ^^

romance & relationship headcanons!

Dionisus edition

1. what is your muse's sexual/romantic orientation?

Dio is a circumstatial pansexual, as in he'll be open to having sex with every other gender if his preferable one isn't available (he's more inclined to having homosexual relationships than any other when it comes to his time in bed), and homoromantic.

2. has your muse been mainly attracted to masculinity, femininity, androgyny, or an even split (between two, many, or all of the options specified)?

Aesthetically speaking he can appreciate all, but in a more sexual way, it's undeniable that he has a preference for the male body, and he knows it.

3. has your muse been mainly attracted to men, women, non-binary people, another identity not specified, or an even split (between two, many, or all of the options specified)?

Most of Dio's attraction is towards men, but he did have a few partners who were women and trans in the past.

4. does your muse find any specific features particularly attractive?

The eyes and scars.

5. what is your muse's ideal first date?

Something casual. Take him to a cafe, a museum date, a library, tea shop, a walk on the beach or on the local park, if the other muse has the skills, Dio will be more than happy to go on a parkour or free running date too. He uses first dates to see the other person's vibes, measure if he can feel anything wrong with them by reading their body language and choice of words, and learn about them.

In a way, he simply goes with the flow and, whatever comes his way, it's more than enough for him, since Dio's expectation bar has been down in the dumps for quite a few years.

6. would your muse kiss on the first date?

If Dio feels like it's appropriate, the mood is right and the other person is giving him signals that it's fine, he might, otherwise, most he'll do is a kiss on the hand, cheek of forehead. He'll avoid the lips as much as he can.

7. where is your muse most sensitive?

Taking away the obvious spots of his neck and behind his ears, there's a secret one: his hands.

Dio has been wearing gloves and bandages on both hands for as long as he can remember, he keep them on even during intimate times when he's with a new person or his night's conquest, which means this man hasn't had much of the feeling of another person's skin in contact with his hands for nearly fifteen years. A kiss to his uncovered palm can easily turn him into a mumbling mess.

8. is your muse a good kisser? are they experienced or inexperienced?

Dio kisses with way more than his lips and mouth alone. Beware those hands of slender fingers and the strong legs. You let him run wild, this man will go wild. He will leave not only your lips with a taste of him, but your whole body will have the jitters too. Chest pressed on chest, messed up hair, a good feel of your ass, even a squeeze of your thigh between his and vice-versa. He kisses with fiery passion that cannot be contained by the simple touch of lips alone.

You've been warned.

9. is your muse monogamous or polyamorous? would they be interested in a polyamorous relationship?

Whatever floats his partner's boat. Dio will be happy with monogamy and with polyamory, however, it needs to be noted that he won't take well to an open relationship.

All one needs to do when wanting a polyamorou relationship with him is to have a conversation where all parts involved will set their boundaries and interests.

10. has your muse ever been cheated on? would they ever cheat on their partner(s)?

Yes, he's been cheated on. And no, he wouldn't cheat even if he was given the world to do it. He's a lover, not a player.

11. how comfortable is your muse with their appearance and their body?

Dio doesn't mind his physique, he likes how he looks, in fact, in his opinion he's like any other average joe with blue eyes and blond hair who trains constantly. However, he has a huge dislike for the Isu marks on his body and thinks those make him a monster, and so, he doesn't like seeing them all that much.

12. does your muse get flustered easily? how would they typically react to compliments from someone they are interested in/dating?

Dio doesn't fluster easily when the compliments come from random people, or people he can tell only want to get into his pants. This changes when it comes from someone he has interest in and can tell they're being honest with him, because in his head that raises a flag that maybe there's something there for him, and he can, perhaps, try getting a little closer to them.

His normal reaction is to look away, either to the sides or up to hide the color of his cheeks, but another good indicator that he's flustered is when he starts to fidget with his digits right after hearing the compliment.

13. what traits does your muse value in a romantic partner?

Respect, understanding, loyalty, communication, trust, a sense of humor that matches his, adventurous, and a good libido (because that's an important way he communicates his love).

14. what traits does your muse want to avoid when it comes to choosing a romantic partner?

Entitlement, arrogance, know-it-all types, people who are too settled in their lives to try new things, cruelty, the propensity some people have to try to gaslight him (a literal living archive of memories of everything and everyone around him), unfeeling, no compassion for the next person, lack of curiosity, lack of interest in learning new skills... the list is longer, but these are at the top.

15. how does your muse feel about valentine's day?

It's a day like any other day, but he'll prepare something special if he has a lover during that time.

16. what is/are your muse's love language(s)?

Quality time, physical touch, acts of love (gift-giving when his partner is comfortable with it).

17. what are some of the signs that your muse shows their care/love without saying they love/care about their partner?

This man has his days packed to the brim. He barely has time to breath, let alone for rest and recreation. But he'll find a way to open spaces in his busy day to spend whatever time he can with his beloved, he'll wake up earlier and prepare breakfast for the two of them, he'll leave lunch ready for his partner, and he'll send little messages during the day asking how his lover is doing and reminding them that he loves them, also, post it notes and handwritten notes can be found in his partner's things reminding them to eat, drink water and take care of themself.

18. how does your muse feel about marriage? would they ever want to get married?

Do you want to see Dio nope? Have an anxiety attack? Perhaps freeze completely? Ask him about engagement and marriage. That's how bad Lorenzo broke him, he's afraid of ever stepping on a wedding venue again. That's how much damage he took from all that happened.

Does he want to be married one day? Yes, more than anything. Dio craves having a family, that's the reason he keeps his friends close, because he considers them part of his family and his home will always have a space for them no matter how bad things are. He'd love to see his family's villa filled with life and the chaotic energy of a bunch of people he considers family, and, of course, he'd love to have a wedding ring on his finger, or something that represents his union with someone he loves so deeply he can see himself with them for the rest of his life.

Does Dio know how to accept any proposal? No, he doesn't. He'll degrade himself and point all of the negative points of being with him, he'll freeze, shake and have panic attacks, and he'll start to spill out all of the horrible things he was told by Lorenzo, because that betrayal left a deep and visible scar in his mind and understanding of what he is for the rest of the world.

He wants a married life, but he can't allow himself the chance to have it.

19. how many serious relationships has your muse been in? are they experienced or inexperienced when it comes to dating?

A few relationships, but some of them he's still evaluating if they were truly serious or just induced by the heat of war.

20. how does your muse feel about public displays of affection? would they engage in them?

So long as it's not getting inappropriate, he's fine with PDA, specially if it boosts hia significant other's confidence. He will, however, fake raunchiness if it bothers someone he doesn't like and wants to make them go away by causing embarrassment in them.

21. is your muse more flirtatious or shy, or does it depend on the context?

Depends on context and age, Dio used to be more timid and modest when he was younger, but as fully grown adult, he knows he's attracts gazes and weaponizes it by flirting and teasing.

22. does your muse tend to take on a more dominant or submissive role in the relationship, or does it vary based on circumstance?

Dio is a switch-dom in bed, but overall, when it comes to hia relationships, he's more balanced and chill, preferring to keep it leveled between himself and his partner. There will be times when he takes the lead, there'll be times when he will follow his partner, it all depends on what's going on.

23. would your muse be good at recognizing their partner's needs right away, or would it take some time?

We're talking about the paranoid guy who reads body language and goes people watching for fun on a daily basis. He might not know exactly what's going on and ask a few questions, but he'll come to his partner with their comfort drink and snacks, their favorite blanket and pillow and hear them out, or keep them company until he can help figure a solution to his lover's problem with them.

24. is your muse proactive in communication with their partner(s), or is this something they need to work on?

Dio's been working hard to get better in communicating what he feels and needs. It's a steep climb for him due to how he was raised and where he works, but he's getting there. One step at a time. Plus, it doesn't help him much that he still have random episodes of going completely mute.

25. does love and romance mean a lot to your muse? do they seek it constantly or let it come when it does?

It means a whole world to Dio to have love and romance in his life and relationship with his partner, he's a hopeless romantic and a sap in his core. However, actively seeking any of it is far from something he does, because he thinks that he's being a bother by doing so, and the last thing he wants is to become an issue by showing this side of himself and asking for more than he's given, or giving more and becoming too much.

26. is your muse more likely to be loud and proud about being in a relationship, or are they more quiet about it at first and open up about it over time?

Depends on the circumstance.

As a Templar, he can't be all loud and proud, it isn't seen as proper of a high ranking Templar to be all gushy about their feelings and relationships, it's considered unbecoming and dangerous.

But, in his own group of people he trusts, Dio has absolutely nothing against being proud of his relationship and assuming it to whoever asks about it.

27. is your muse more confident or shy when it comes to approaching someone they like?

It all depends on the reason he's approaching them. If it's just to be with them, talk, have some quality together, he's more than fine with approaching them, specially if it's while feelings are still kind of cloudy and he can say it's just nice to be with them.

If he's approaching to ask for more than what he is given though, he's very shy and will avoid doing it until he can't anymore.

28. would it bother your muse if they had differing interests from their partner(s), or would they delight in it?

Different interests means he has new stuff to learn and it makes him excited to research and study those things just so he can understand his partner better. It's a huge plus to have different interests.

29. how important is having (a) physically attractive partner(s) to your muse?

To be honest, Dio lives by the idea that beauty is all in how interesting a person is, their appearance can be enhanced or changed with cosmetics, clothes and accessories if they truly want to change, but there's no use to having a pretty face or an exceptional body if all that comes out of the person's mouth is stupidity and blandness.

30. would your muse ever be in an open/non-exclusive relationship? would it make them insecure, or would they be open to trying it?

As stated before, Dio is open to polyamorous relationships, but not open relationships. It brings up the question of how much he can trust the partners his partner is having relationships with, which places him in a vulnerable position due to his job. Thus, that's not an option for him.

Dio wants to know who he's dealing with and what's going on, a relationships with no strings attached doesn't being him a solid base to work on building defenses for himself and for his loved ones.

31. does your muse develop crushes easily? would they be open about it to a friend or keep it to themselves?

Not really, no. Dio flirts and teases a lot, but most of it all is just for show, nothing truly serious. His crushes are developed overtime with the amount of interactions he has with the other person.

With him the other is often interest, admiration, infatuation, crush, and love.

32. does your muse have an ideal "type"?

Not that Dio himself has perceived, but it's kind of a fact that he likes the strong guys who are all soft and caring inside. Though, the strong part isn't necessarily a physical one, it has more to do with how they present themself to the world and how they see theirself, if they know who they are and what they stand for, that's considered strength in Dio's point of view and he'll be attracted by that in some way.
