You lose everything, but you must go on.

This is a slow decline. One by one, the things you love are ripped from your aching fingers. People, keepsakes, happy memories... until, at last, even the very meaning of home is gone. Your past is tainted beyond salvation. the only way to move on is to forget it, forget yourself, pretend you never existed. Go somewhere new and answer to no name. Live quietly. Wake in the night with all your regrets pressing down upon you. Then get up and go about your day in the company of strangers.

What does your heart look like?

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.

SHIPPING INFO. Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)?

I can't say I really have one, but throughout my RP experience the ship that resonated the most with me was Dain and Blade.

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

Everything so long as it doesn't involve cheating or toxic behaviors (or at least uncooperative, as I'm aware that Blade as a character isn't a stroll on a field of roses precisely). This is because when I ship I want to see everything there is to have, from the beginning to the proper romantic relationship phase. Me saying that I'm not a fan of toxic behaviors is a reflection of saying that I don't think Dain would be interested in one like that to begin with and he's heavily down to earth for that. At the same time, I do acknowledge his difficulties and by no means I want to say that shipping with him will be a walk around the park either.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

Writing someone like Dain makes this question... curious given the many years he has lived, so what I'll say is that what would make me uncomfortable in what's concerned about age is the lack of reflection that another individual is of age and by this I mean necessarily both physically and mentally. I give special importance to the mental aspect because shipping with Dain will require a certain maturity that not everyone may have, no matter if they're already of age.

Are you selective when shipping?

I am and part of the reason is past experiences of mine in my early times as a RPer. The other part is that I like to have the liberty to gush about our muses' ship without feeling like I'm inconveniencing my RP partners, and / or if there are time constraints that impedes us to write consistently, that at least we can keep that interest via private discussions.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

As soon as erotica begins, I'd say, as nudity doesn't necessarily have to be involved for this to be present. Likewise, nudity involving genitalia is another go-to tag the IC interactions appropriately.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

Diluc, Al-Haitham, Rhukkadevata, Neuvillette and Sunday.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

Granted that I stated that communication between muns is important to me as a requirement to ship, yes. It'll be bound to happen. Moreover, as a note I want to say that don't let my short list of muses I ship Dain with discourage you. This comes from the perspective of not having had the chance to think about it too much or having shipped Dain much to begin with and there are some characters I haven't mentioned that might bring interesting results if discussed.

How often do you like to ship?

I want to preface that what I like isn't a direct representation of the reality of shipping. I love shipping and I'd love to ship more often, but what really happens is the opposite and part of it is due to the complexity Dain has a muse by himself, which I don't want to disregard. I'm aware that the odds of shipping more frequently would've spiked if I ignored this, but I simply... don't want to. I've been an observer of how Dain is treated when the key traits of his character are ignored or watered down (not limited to RP and not necessarily in RP, more so through fanarts, Twitter, etc.) and I don't like what's done to him, hence I won't contribute further to that myself.

Are you multiship?

Yes, but never with the same character. I'm aware that the same character can count to have multiple muses as it varies from portrayal to portrayal, but I want to have free reign to explore everything without having to limit myself to give bits and pieces to every ship with the same muse if I were to indulge in that practise. Once again, it's not my thing and not due to a lack of experience, which I had in my early times as a RPer.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

Given my love for shipping, I'd lean more towards the former but I know that the reality is the latter. So somewhere in between, I suppose?

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

Dainsleif and Neuvillette without a doubt. From all the characters that have been introduced so far in Genshin, I find that Neuvi would understand him the most and both have a somehow similar mentality. Furthermore, they struggle with being somewhere in between human and otherwise that is interesting to think about how one would shoulder the other in that regard, as well as finding their own destiny or purpose in this world.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Let me know about it. There is no shame in doing that even if our interactions have been brief or few in number. Everything can be discussed and in my years of RP experience, I find OOC discussions on the topic to be as important as IC interactions. That being said, and one thing I find important is that if we do this without having interacted much IC yet is that we can have the freedom to jump back and forth to different moments of our muses' relationship and not just get stuck in the romantic phase without at least writing prompts of how the development up to that point would've gone.

◟༺✧༻◞ What are you seeking?

Forgiveness— What should I apologize for; what I am or what I’m not?

Oh, little hero, how close are you to crumbling under the weight on your shoulders? How heavy has that heart of yours gotten? How deeply has the guilt burrowed into your bones? How permanently has the grief been seared into your soul? You were so tender, and the world so cruel. Loss after loss after loss, each another chip on your shoulder. Because you deserved it, didn’t you? If you could be better… faster… stronger… smarter… then maybe it wouldn’t have happened. Right? The blood stains your hands, and it won’t wash out will it? But darling, it’s never been your fault. You’ve learned to turn the rage and the regret, the guilt and the grief, inwards. If you’re hurt, it’s your own fault isn’t it? Because then there’s a reason for it, because it gives you some semblance of control, doesn’t it? What you seek is forgiveness, for your perceived wrongs. But oh, little skeleton, you do not need it. Stop blaming yourself for what was beyond your control. Let go of the past. Grow. And learn to breathe with both of your lungs. stop choking on your own self hatred. The weight will ease, I promise. I love you.
