#{ about the muses }

[multiversal-muses]

Out of all your muses, which ones do you think youd get along with the most if you met them IRL? Which ones do you think you would dislike?

Probably Kieran, I get trying to compare yourself to someone and always coming up short to the point where you feel frustrated. So I’m sure we would have things to talk about.

As for who I would dislike in real life…

May I introduce you to Yomi, Director of the Peacekeepers from Rain Code. While I enjoy role playing as him, if he were to exist in reality I would probably hide in fear, he’s insane. Torture, imprisonment, threats, blowing places up…etc. I could go on but you get the idea.

Floyd, Suffering Solo

Height: 5¼" Hair: Maroon (with white roots post Band Together) with a portion hanging as fringe Eyes: Violet Notable Features: Small non-functioning bat-like wings, crystalized feet Birthday: July 6

The second youngest member of Brozone, Floyd reluctantly left his baby brother alone in the care of their grandmother. He escaped Bergen Town and went on a journey of self-discovery, making a modest living as a traveling artist. After ten years, he went to reunite with his brother, but was unsuccessful in the reunion. Ten years later, he heard rumours of the Pop Trolls reconciling with the Bergens, but before he could try again to reunite with the tribe, he was captured by Velvet and Veneer. While in captivity, he was tortured for his talent and unaware of events in the wider world.

After two months, he was rescued by his brothers and the queen of the Pop Trolls. Almost too late...

[mantleoflight]

is there a muse that not a lot of people roleplay with?

if you HAD to choose, who’s your least favorite muse?

which one of your muses have you been playing the longest?

which one of your muses has the most ships?

what is each of your muses otps? notps?

1 - //Well, Echo is the main muse of this blog so most everyone else fits that category. Misraaks has been getting a bit more attention on Discord but I really wish people would take up thread musings with Darius. He's such a cool character and I really have so much I want to share about him. Kesivik doesn't get a whole lot of love either, but I understand why - I mean, I haven't been able to give him a whole lot of love -- him or Yyventriz, both of which I still need to finish writing up their profile and timeline stuff! (They have such neat timeline verses, especially Darius and Yyventriz -- they have such rich histories for their long lives!! )

2 - //At this point I think Ashven or Yyventriz. Ashven because he really is more like a background villain character whose badguy effects ripple down through the ages even if you don't know it's him. He's a Setting character not an easily RP'd character. Yyventriz has been, well, difficult in rping too since I've been revamping her. I know that character-children ocs aren't really looked highly upon so I've been kinda trying to separate her from Eramis. (Who, I will tell you, does canonically have kids somewhere in the galaxy with her wife, Athrys. But again, canon-child oc stigma. )

3 - //Well, for this blog, I'd say Echo. She's the guardian that started it all on this blog. Though my oldest active muse is actually a tie between Baribus ( @leerofthevinegaroons) and my boy Bonely ( @pawnshopsouls). But yeah, on this blog Echo-17 is my oldest bab!

4 - //Echo. Echo has the most ships. Namely with @raifer-vayne and @legacyfirst. She had another one but that one ended after some bad drama earlier this year. The only other muses with ships on this blog are Yyventriz & Jorvek ( @aurea-fide ), and a discord ship with Misraaks and Sundog ( @peachtiiime ) which we are still exploring.

5 - //Hhhh I actually don't have an otp for Echo bc she is so open to relationships. My otp for Yyventriz so far has been her and Jor (tho for a while I thought her and Misraaks would be a neat pairing buuut Jor and Yyv were fun). I haven't really thought of notps for them since they haven't had a chance to experience more relationships.

What does your heart look like?

Nuada: a compass that doesn’t waver

You are someone who is certain of what you want. Maybe you always have been, or maybe you made a discovery that you haven’t been able to tear your eyes away from. Your heart is set and certain. You fight endlessly for your goals. Above all else, you know who you are and what you are trying to achieve. Just be careful not to tear yourself or others apart in pursuit of your ideals.

Raiden: molten lava and charred flesh

Your heart burned so fiercely that it burnt itself out, leaving horrible scars in its wake; scars inside your chest and on the hands of those who touched you, the hearts of anyone who got close enough to connect to yours. The person you are now is no longer recognizable, burnt up by your own anger and passion and love. The injuries can never be fully erased, but they can be soothed with time and trust and forgiveness.

Ivan: broken, missing pieces that once were there

Your heart has been torn before, chipped and maybe even shattered. Some pieces will never be recovered, and you are shaped by the loss. But it can still be shaped into something tangible, something good, even with its flaws and imperfections. You don’t have to do all the work of rebuilding by yourself. Allow other hands to leave their fingerprints on the new heart you create from the remnants.

Esther: a bird struggling to get loose

Your heart can never hold still. It pounds against your chest frantically, always turning your sights to one thing after the next. When was the last time you were certain? The last time your life was stable? Maybe this is how you prefer things. On the move constantly, not tied down to one person or place. You chase one goal after the next. Can you ever really feel complete without a place to land? Shouldn’t you build yourself a nest?

Carl (Luke): molten lava and charred flesh

Your heart burned so fiercely that it burnt itself out, leaving horrible scars in its wake; scars inside your chest and on the hands of those who touched you, the hearts of anyone who got close enough to connect to yours. The person you are now is no longer recognizable, burnt up by your own anger and passion and love. The injuries can never be fully erased, but they can be soothed with time and trust and forgiveness.

Tony: a tangled ball of red strings

Who are you without the company of others? You aren’t sure, but you know that you aren’t fond of whoever it is. You are an actor, a pretty face and a pleasant song. Many idolize you, or love you, but you can never be sure of how sincere it is. Your heart is buried under the letters they leave you, sealed with a kiss. It can’t be untangled from the red strings they’ve attached to you. You deserve to find something, someone, true and faithful to hold your heart in place. You don’t have to be everything to everyone.

Natasha: a guiding, golden light

Just because you cannot see your own heart doesn’t mean that others can’t. Your heart is blinding, captivating, a fire so bright that others can’t bring themselves to look away. It illuminates the path they follow and cements you as a guiding star for their own wayward hearts. Every experience you’ve lived through has built your lighthouse heart up just a little higher. You are inspirational, a light that doesn’t go out.

Clint: an open door, a burning hearth

Your chest is wide open, and your heart is a home. Others are welcomed in readily and asked to stay. You are comfort and love, everything you were never given but so desperately want to provide for others. You have built this welcoming hearth with your own two hands and won’t see anyone else left out in the cold. Be careful to not burn yourself out trying to keep everyone else warm.

Aurelien: iced over, out of the sun

Your heart is very lonely, isn’t it? Is your fortress of ice self-made? Are others afraid of you, or are you afraid of them? Are you afraid of hurting them, or of being hurt? Vulnerability and connection can be frightening, but that’s no reason to shy away from their light, to tuck yourself small into corners, to build up frigid walls to keep yourself from feeling. You will heal when you allow yourself to draw closer to the flames and thaw.

Jix: an open door, a burning hearth

Your chest is wide open, and your heart is a home. Others are welcomed in readily and asked to stay. You are comfort and love, everything you were never given but so desperately want to provide for others. You have built this welcoming hearth with your own two hands and won’t see anyone else left out in the cold. Be careful to not burn yourself out trying to keep everyone else warm.

Gizmo: a guiding, golden light

Just because you cannot see your own heart doesn’t mean that others can’t. Your heart is blinding, captivating, a fire so bright that others can’t bring themselves to look away. It illuminates the path they follow and cements you as a guiding star for their own wayward hearts. Every experience you’ve lived through has built your lighthouse heart up just a little higher. You are inspirational, a light that doesn’t go out.

I'd love to have more people interact withbTim's dad but like LANGUAGE BARRIARS

I play very fast and loose with Tim but for his folks, his mom only speaks Greek with maybe some smattering of English

Dad Speaks both English and Greek, a little bit of Spanish and only some Japanese- it's not great tho

[ahousefullofmuses]

With very careful thinking, here are the muses' sexualities that no one asked for.

Star is bisexual

Charlotte is straight

Felix is straight

Chris is bisexual

Matteo is straight

Apollo is polyamorous (he's a greek god after all)

Luka is....in a working process. Vampires are a bit confusing sometimes.

River is straight

Jayce is a confused little bean. Angels, am I right?

Cyrus is bi-curious

Kai is straight

And finally

Amaterasu/Sabrina is also polyamorous

If you got any questions, feel free to ask.

[wrongarmofthelaw]

is there a type of food that matt cant stand?

Probably any candy that is just a generic sugar flavor. The man likes to cook at home, so something having no distinguishable flavor bugs him and encourages him to offer the kids better tasting treats.

Cassandra of Corona, the Princess' Guard

Height: 5'9" Hair: Chin-length black (blue while carrying the Moonstone) Eyes: Hazel FC: Eden Espinosa Birthday: December 12

Abandoned as a young child, Cassandra was adopted by a member of the Royal Guard. He raised her with intentions for her to join the Guard, training her in combat and protocol. This plan was changed when the Lost Princess found her way back to them.

Cassandra finally received her job at the palace, as Princess Rapunzel's handmaiden. This position eventually evolved into being the princess' personal guard as they were drawn out of Corona by the mysterious black rocks. Along the way, she discovered a truth of her childhood: her mother had been the one to kidnap Rapunzel. The vision was manipulated by a mysterious spirit to imply that Gothel had been a loving mother who chose the princess over her own flesh and blood. When in truth Gothel was a vain and selfish woman who traded one child servant for another.

This manipulation led to her making the decision to claim the Moonstone for herself and seeking misguided vengeance against Rapunzel and all of Corona…

What Rage Language Are You?

Basch - open the floodgates

your frustration turns into tears quickly. the strength of your fury is so potent that it sets off the waterworks out of pure rage. you hate it, because whoever's pissed you off thinks it's funny, like you're not tough and you can't defend yourself. you can, you just need to get through the haze of emotions first.

Ashelia - the full read

whoever pisses you off is in for a rant that exposes every single one of their deepest insecurities and issues. your rage gives you the clarity to hunt for weak spots in a person's mind. your brain works fast, firing off insults at a rapid-fire pace that terrifies everyone within a ten mile radius. this is usually followed by buckets of guilt.

Noah - step back

usually, you're able to bottle up your emotions and ignore the frustrations. but, after weeks of shoving everything down, your body needs a release, and i pity the poor person who managed to piss you off. it's screaming, crying, shouting, kicking lockers, whatever you can do to get it out of your system. it's a whole jean grey moment, fire and fury blasting out of you.

Eliksni Side Muses

//Since my cast of side npcs keeps growing, I'm gonna put them here so I don't forget them or get them confused.

Shatter-Star Crew — House Onyx

Kozeiroks (formerly): Formerly a captain in House Winter, Kozeiroks joined Jorvek ( @aurea-fide ) not long before he left kings to form House Onyx. During his captancy, he trained Evek before passing on his ship, the ShatterStar, to him when he became a Baron of House Onyx. Despite originally coming from different houses, he and Jorvek are around the same age.

Caskis: Bosun of the ShatterStar. A big, bad-tempered eliksni. He's stockily built like Spider but rules through threats and aggression rather than cunning and leverage. He's a prickly, unlikable grumbler of a crew mate, but he knows how to put things together and keep a tight ship with his captain.

Rikis: Bosun's mate & adopted brother. With Caskis in charge of discipline, Rikis is in charge of making sure he doesn't go too far. Rikis is one of the few Caskis will listen to who isn't above him in rank and station. He's also the one who took the warlock, Salem217, under his wing in his Skifflight verse and is seen as a close brother to Salem217

Red Saber Crew — House Dusk

Teskras: Dusk Captain of the Red Saber. Teskras is a fiery, ambitious, highly intelligent captain who flies under the banner of House Dusk. However, despite the success of her crew, she serves under the iron fist of the Dusk Baron, Krigas.

Ivikis: Lieutenant of Dusk Captain Teskras, fraternal twin of Viriks, and Navigator of the Red Sabers. Ivikis is cautious, meticulous, always weighing the dangers of every route that's laid before them.

Virikis: Fraternal twin of Ivikis, Virikis leads the Red Saber marauders. He is cunning, clever, and opportunistic. He sees opportunity in every danger and route, and often offers his insights to the Captain - a counterbalance to his sister's caution.

Asvodis: Former Archon of House Rain, Asvodis joined Teskras crew with his son, the vandal Asviris who perished with his mate, Kirisik, leaving their little son, Kasviris, in the care of his grandfather and crew.

The Razorwind Crew — House Wolves

Ivrahks, Captain: A noble and genuinely honorable Eliksni, Ivrahks operated his crew as a captain with a strong sense of duty and camaraderie. He was one who knew his limits and the cruelties of life from the Great Drift but clung to the ideals of his father in the House of Weavers. In his crew, it became the mantra of "Act with Honor that others may find it an Honor to act with you." —More to come—

Bralisk, engineer: A skilled craftsman in the house of Weavers, Bralisk was present during the Whirlwind and was the one who found and dug Yyventriz as a hatchling out of the rubble of her home. From there, he escaped the planet with her and adopted Yyventriz as his own. He trained her up as best as he could, sheltering her from much of the cruelty of their existence to at least maintain some semblance of a childhood he remembered on Riis. Yyventriz would soon grow to become a strong and confident eliksni, rising from dreg to vandal. However, Bralisk would meet his fate after their ship was attacked by a rival crew, and his death would spur Yyventriz into becoming a fearsome fighter and later a notorious marauder known as the Phantom Wolf.

Zigaza, assassin: first mate to Ihvrahks

Zalvak, armorer: —coming soon—

[tofixtheshadows]

I've been thinking a lot lately about how Kabru deprives himself.

Kabru as a character is intertwined with the idea that sometimes we have to sacrifice the needs of the few for the good of the many. He ultimately subverts this first by sabotaging the Canaries and then by letting Laios go, but in practice he's already been living a life of self-sacrifice.

Saving people, and learning the secrets of the dungeons to seal them, are what's important. Not his own comforts. Not his own desires. He forces them down until he doesn't know they're there, until one of them has to come spilling out during the confession in chapter 76.

Specifically, I think it's very significant, in a story about food and all that it entails, that Kabru is rarely shown eating. He's the deuteragonist of Dungeon Meshi, the cooking manga, but while meals are the anchoring points of Laios's journey, given loving focus, for Kabru, they're ... not.

I'm sure he eats during dungeon expeditions, in the routine way that adventurers must when they sit down to camp. But on the surface, you get the idea that Kabru spends most of his time doing his self-assigned dungeon-related tasks: meeting with people, studying them, putting together that evidence board, researching the dungeon, god knows what else. Feeding himself is secondary.

He's introduced during a meal, eating at a restaurant, just to set up the contrast between his party and Laios's. And it's the last normal meal we see him eating until the communal ending feast (if you consider Falin's dragon parts normal).

First, we get this:

Kabru's response here is such a non-answer, it strongly implies to me that he wasn't thinking about it until Rin brought it up. That he might not even be feeling the hunger signals that he logically knew he should.

They sit down to eat, but Kabru is never drawn reaching for food or eating it like the rest of his party. He only drinks.

It's possible this means nothing, that we can just assume he's putting food in his mouth off-panel, but again, this entire manga is about food. Cooking it, eating it, appreciating it, taking pleasure in it, grounding yourself in the necessary routine of it and affirming your right to live by consuming it. It's given such a huge focus.

We don't see him eat again until the harpy egg.

What a significant question for the protagonist to ask his foil in this story about eating! Aren't you hungry? Aren't you, Kabru?

He was revived only minutes ago after a violent encounter. And then he chokes down food that causes him further harm by triggering him, all because he's so determined to stay in Laios's good graces.

In his flashback, we see Milsiril trying to spoon-feed young Kabru cake that we know he doesn't like. He doesn't want to eat: he wants to be training.

Then with Mithrun, we see him eating the least-monstery monster food he can get his hands on, for the sake of survival- walking mushroom, barometz, an egg. The barometz is his first chance to make something like an a real meal, and he actually seems excited about it because he wants to replicate a lamb dish his mother used to make him!

...but he doesn't get to enjoy it like he wanted to.

Then, when all the Canaries are eating field rations ... Kabru still isn't shown eating. He's only shown giving food to Mithrun.

And of course the next time he eats is the bavarois, which for his sake is at least plant based ... but he still has to use a coping mechanism to get through it.

I don't think Kabru does this all on purpose. I think Kui does this all on purpose. Kabru's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder should be understood as informing his character just as much as Laios's autism informs his. It's another way that Kabru and Laios act as foils: where Laios takes pleasure in meals and approaches food with the excitement of discovery, Kabru's experiences with eating are tainted by his trauma. Laios indulges; Kabru denies himself. Laios is shown enjoying food, Kabru is shown struggling with it.

And I can very easily imagine a reason why Kabru might have a subconscious aversion towards eating.

Meals are the privilege of the living.
