#[Misne -headcanons-]

[soulsxng]

I don't think I've ever posted much info about Misne, now that I think about it. Other than the fact that he's JJ's son. So! Here's an info dump about the lil' dude.

JJ found him while he was helping Kadios, Koza, and Sirci out with some things in the Aifaen Plains of Brinnela. He got back to his little camp site, and found Misne digging through and eating his food. Once he realized he was caught, he posted up like he was going to try to attack, and then...got too scared, and ran off. This continued off an on for a few days, until the point when Mimi was comfortable enough with JJ to sit around and eat with JJ there. Eventually, JJ was able to bring him to Kadios, who took Misne to what is essentially a foster. Mimi didn't like that, and he'd run off to find JJ whenever JJ was in the Plains. Evidently he's a really good tracker. JJ, when found, would hang out with Mimi for a little while, before bringing him back to the foster. ...JJ got attached, Mimi got attached, within a month, JJ had adopted him as his own. That was about a year ago now!

Misne is about 5 years old, but because he never really spoke any non-beast languages, his speech makes him sound a little younger.

He's also pretty small for his age, from having to essentially fend for himself for who knows how long. It's taken some work, but he's finally starting to catch up a little.

Nobody knows for sure what happened to his biological parents, though JJ has since met people that knew them. Apparently, the three disappeared out of nowhere one day-- most people thought that Misne had disappeared with them, though he was just kicking it around the forest by himself.

He's an Aifaen! One of the 'original' 4 species along with the Ahniri, Setana, and Vasyrus. Aifaen are essentially a species made up of animalistic shifters of various types. Lots of mythical beasts, or chimera-like beasts that are more or less a big mix of different animals and such that are around today. Misne in particular has traits of bears, otters, some various big cats (though in very trace amounts), aaaand...

^^^^ This buddy ^^^^ Particularly a paralyzing bite, spiny tail, and two extra sets of arms (though the latter is usually only present in his beast form)

He's a very snuggly little buddy. JJ picks him up, and Mimi immediately plunks his head on his dad's shoulder and is out like a light within minutes. Commonly sleeps on and off over half the day, and then has big, but short-lived bursts of energy when he's up.

Likes to climb things, swim, roll around in the grass, "stalk" little frogs and things that he finds when rolling around in said grass (he doesn't really have much of a hunting instinct beyond that yet, though), and laying around in the sun.

Greets people he doesn't know by doing a lap around them while sniffing them. If they move during this process, he'll get nervous and go hide behind JJ, or whoever else is with him.

Has a very good sense for people. If they have bad vibes, you can bet he's bristling up immediately and growling at them as he backs himself behind whoever he's with.

Refers to himself in the third person (as "Mimi"). Has a hard time with saying names (JJ is "Dayday" or "Dada Dayday" most of the time, for example), but he remembers them really well!

Lots of things given to him still go right in his mouth ^^;;

Gets hurt a lot, but he's pretty durable tbh, so it hardly fazes him.

Doesn't fully understand how to shift yet, which is something that JJ has been getting help from some of his Aifaen friends for. Because of this, sometimes Misne has a hard time shifting on command, and it's more of a random chance thing. Sometimes he gets stuck partway through, and that's painful, which is why JJ jumped on getting help for him really quickly.

Knows around when JJ usually comes home when he's been working. Will grab Jas, or Rouri, or whoever is watching him, and just start pulling them outside, because Mimi knows he's not allowed to go out alone, but he's gotta go find his dad!

"Huh? That's a little sudden. Where do I even start? There's so much that comes to mind..."

Amber gaze flicks toward the little Aifaen, sound asleep where he lay on top of JJ. He'd been watching something while Mimi played with his blocks, but eventually the little one had climbed up onto the couch, laying with his head on the center of JJ's chest, and conked right out.

Every once in a while, a little round ear, reminiscent of a bear cub's would flick with whatever Misne was dreaming about. Soft fuzz making JJ scrunch his chin to his chest to prevent the tickly feeling.

"You know, looking at how things are now, I almost can't believe that, two years ago, I didn't want kids at all. And even after Nia, I was only sort of thinking about it...now here we are. A few months, and I'll have had him for a year already. Time really flies."

"I get why I was scared, though. I still feel like I'm going to mess up, and I don't know what I'd do with myself if I do. I mean, look at him. He's always so happy and sweet. He relies on me, and I'm so terrified that I'm going to let him down. I was talking to my dad about it the other day, and he said that feeling only ever really gets worse. So I guess I'm in for a long ride. There's been a lot of hard stuff aside from that too, though."

"The first time he got sick, I don't think I slept for a whole week because even if I knew that he was fine again after three days, I was worried that it might come back or something. He's always goofing around, especially when Nia comes over to play, so he gets hurt quite a bit. Like when he was climbing a tree the other day-- ah, that's right! He's learning how to use his claws! He climbs stuff now, but then his arms get tired and he loses his grip and falls, and I always think he's gonna break his neck or something, one of the times I'm not quick enough to catch him! Like that day! A bird spooked him, and he fell like six feet! Luckily, he only got a little scraped up...he hardly even noticed it! Just got right back up and kept on playing with Essi!"

"He's a really tough little guy; I'm actually really surprised. The only time he really fusses much is when he wants attention. I guess it's probably because he did a lot of things pretty much by himself when he was in the Aifaen Plains..."

"He's learning to talk a lot better than before, too. I mean, he's technically like...I guess a 6 year old human, but when I first took him in, he'd spent a lot of time in his beast form, so he never really learned how to speak beyond...a two or three year old's level? Or something like that. I'm not an expert on child development or anything, so I couldn't say for sure. He's still a little bit skittish around new people, but if he thinks he can 'sneaky' over to check them out before he talks to them or anything, he's usually okay. He's a pretty good judge of character, so far."

"Let's see, what else! The last couple times we've gone to the river together so he could look at the fish, he's wanted to get in the water to jump at them, so I've been teaching him to swim, just in case. He's so good at it! I hardly had to teach him anything-- I just helped him keep above water at first, and told him how to move his legs and arms. It felt like he was doing it all by himself after just a few minutes!"

"Wait, wait, and then last week, I let him help me repaint his bedroom a little bit, and he got it all over in his hair somehow! We did hand prints on the wall together for all of his friends and family, and I had him do an extra little handprint next to one of mine on some paper, and I have it in a frame in my office; it's so cute...! And then--!"

📁 Maybe Jawyr this time.

JJ's really meticulous about how he keeps his spaces. Everything has a spot that it belongs, and when he's done using something, he always makes sure to bring it back to that exact spot. This is because when he was younger, he used to lose a lot of his stuff and Jas got tired of having to stand around waiting for him to rush around to find things he needed. So Jas helped him figure out a system, and JJ's been using it ever since then.

The only trouble is that now if too many things in his spaces are out of their spots and NOT actively being used, he gets a little grumpy.

JJ for the love hc meme

@thewolfisawake | Love headcanons | Accepting!

When they discover they’re got a crush: Kind of unsure. The “Am I really getting feelings for them, or is this just infatuation?” type of thing. He’ll start paying more attention to them to try to figure it out, along with dropping little hints here and there to test the water, and see if the feelings/interest is mutual or not. Also a bit of panic, because “Uh, my job is really dangerous, I have a lot of enemies, is this really okay?”

How they confess/hint: Spending more time/talking to the person more often than before. Standing a little closer or making contact with them more often than usual. If he’s left hinting for too long though, one of a few things will happen. He’ll get fed up and ask the person on a date, then confess there. If he ends up hanging out with just the two of them at some point, he’ll steal a kiss and then confess. If they’re with just the two of them, and he ends up riled up enough, it’ll be spontaneous sex, and then confess. Kind of depends on how much Tension there is between he and the other person.

Big gestures of love: It’ll usually be a “I know I’ve been busy lately, so I’m going to take a week off so I can focus on just you!”. They might go on a trip, they might just stay home together the whole time, he doesn’t really care. He just wants them to know that they have all of his attention on them. Aside from that though, it also really depends on what kind of love languages his s/o responds best to, and he’ll adapt his more grand gestures to things that will be more within their tastes! Another would be introducing them to his son, Misne. (if they haven’t met the little buddy already, anyway)

Little gestures of love: Leaving little “love notes” hidden in different places. Maybe on the bathroom mirror, or slipped into their bag, or left on the counter. He’ll start carrying around snacks they like, along with his snacks that he usually carries around for himself. Subconsciously leaning toward his s/o when he’s idle, because he’s comfortable with them. Trying to make them laugh with stupid little jokes, or goofy antics. Lets his s/o hear him sing.

How to win their heart: It’s pretty straightforward (though that doesn’t mean it’s easy). Be a friend, be someone that he can be comfortable around, and share both his good times, and his bad ones. Someone that he can trust and depend on, and that trusts and depends on him, in turn-- that he can count on for support when he needs it. Be a person that he feels he doesn’t have to act around. Who can understand him even without him having to necessarily say outright what he’s thinking.

How to break their heart: Don’t spend enough time with him/start pulling away from him. Become someone that he can’t really count on when he’s struggling.

Tiny little turn-ons: Eye contact and a teasing smile across the room. Wear something of his/something he gifted his s/o. Challenge him. Make him laugh.

Big turn-ons: Spar with him. Nine times out of ten, he’ll end up getting hot and bothered. Shows of trust. Showing ambitiousness or a strong desire to accomplish their goals. Vulnerable moments with each other.

Things that make their heart flutter: Things that show “I was thinking about you”, or “I want to see you”-- be it by gifts, notes/a text, plans for lunch together on a busy day, etc. Sharing one of those laughs that leave both parties breathless and teary-eyed (or just seeing his s/o laugh like that).

Their type: Someone that is willing to stand up for their beliefs, and for the people they care about, even if they might be scared. That will smile, and laugh, and act a little weird with him sometimes, just for the fun of it (or at least that won’t think he’s childish for doing so himself). A person that he can look up to in one way or another. Someone that’s observant, and someone that’s strong (though not necessarily physically).

Ideal date: Probably a nighttime picnic somewhere scenic. Just a nice, calm night, where they can lay under the stars and talk about whatever comes to mind. Somewhere close to the water would be nice too, since he’s pretty fond of late night swims. Maybe after a busy work day, or after they’ve spent the day running around doing other stuff together.

Past relationships: The first major relationship he had in this life was when he was a teenager, up to when he was...maybe 18 or 19. It was with his childhood friend, Garen, and they got engaged-- though Garen ended up more or less ghosting him shortly afterwards. His second major relationship in this lifetime, he doesn’t talk about. The guy was extremely messed up, to the point where he actually trapped JJ for a while. Outside of that, he’s had a few other relationships-- like with Cicaelia for a little while, only for both of them to realize “...this is weird, it feels like I’m dating my sibling”, and breaking up. In his past life, he was in a long relationship with Alteo, who he was also engaged to...JJ was the one to break that off, because they were kind of toxic with each other. After that, he sort of dated Nesimah Eszenra...they sleep together sometimes now, too. He’s had a few other relationships across both lifetimes, but those were short-lived/not really serious. Either way, the point is that he's had a good bit of relationship experience.

How they might affect current relationships: JJ’s still friends with all but the first two cases, so if his s/o is the type that would be a little confused by that, it could cause issues? The biggest issue though, is that JJ will get skittish if his s/o starts showing any signs of more controlling behavior. And there will also be times where he’ll need a little reassurance that things are in a good place. That his s/o is happy, and isn’t just gonna up and disappear on him one night.

‘Goals’ in a relationship (marriage, kids, a house, etc): Well, given the fact that he already has a kid, one goal will be that-- if it’s a serious relationship-- his s/o is comfortable and good with Mimi, and vice versa. He’ll want to live together, but if they would rather both of them live at their place instead of JJ’s, he’ll still keep his house in Tenimus. He’s still one of Ahnia’s royals too, and works directly for the Creation Trio, so even though they wouldn’t be expected to help out with political stuff or anything too dangerous, they would have to be comfortable having at least a little bit of spotlight on them.

Other love headcanons: JJ tends to fall for people that he considers friends first. Another random thing would be that he kind of benefits from having someone that can is either chill enough to realize that a lot of times when he's getting frustrated/arguing, it's not with them. It's more-so with himself or the situation. Either that, or they need to be someone that can argue with him without it actually turning into a fight with hard feelings afterwards. More like they're...enthusiastically helping him vent? lmao
