How do you deal when you know you’re being irrationally jealous? How do you deal when you know someone’s not willing to give you what you want? // @ Your Witches

❝ ━ The only time I get irrationally jealous is probably over something silly, like an inanimate object is being held more than me. Or if someone gets the last slice of chocolate cheesecake from my favorite bakeshop. Over people ? Yeah, I don't care enough for that. We're each our own person and there's no need for me to feel that especially if I trust them. ❞ He clicks his tongue, mulling over the second question, pushing his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. ❝ ━ There's a thing called consent. If someone is not willing to give me something, then the answer is no. Doesn't matter the context, I'm not that persistent if they've already told me no about it. I just move on. What could I possibly want that badly, anyway ?❞

❝ ━ Pfft, as if I would get jealous over anything. If I want something, I go and get it. If I want someone, I get them. It's that simple. Life is too short to wonder about the what ifs, go out and have fun. Fuck are ya gonna be jealous for ? ❞ She couldn't remember any time being jealous, she was powerful, beautiful and lived a fufilling life. Who could say the same ? ❝ ━ Depends on what we're talking about. Grimoires, power, sex ? The first two I have in abundance. The latter, well if I need relief, there's toys. If we're just talking about situations where I need something and I get frustrated by people not holding up their end of a bargain, well no one can cancel a spelled contract without worrying about the backlash. ❞

❝ ━ Mm, then it's a me problem. If I ever feel that way, I need to talk it out. Not just to see why something triggered that jealousy, but also the why it bothered me in the first place. I never want to inspire insecurity in a friend or a partner just because I feel that way without understand the why of it. ❞ A wry smile curls his lips, eyes hidden by the glare from the sun in his glasses, ❝ ━ I've never been big on confrontation. If someone is being stubborn and insistent, I back down immediately. It's not worth the bitterness that would fester in the aftermath. ❞

adair made me think of what my magic uses magic feels like to people who can sense it in the air.

lysandra’s is heavy, dense, like a fog that rolled in but unbearable to rbeath in when she’s irate. other times, it’s like when you inhale and the body thinks too much oxygen and panics. 

arsenio’s is cool, but electric, static-y. like you feel cool waters, washing over the space, but the second he loses his temper, it’s like you’re drowning, fighting to get your head above water. or it can feel like the earth itself is shifting beneath your feet, tilting your equlibrium.

hekate’s is…..enormous. it crawls over your skin, making everyone aware that her power is palpable. the second she’s upset, furious even, everything feels out of wack, like it’s literally your mind going hazy, you’re getting naseous, but most of the time, it’s like the world is frazzled, aware of what and who she is. to those she befriends and cares for, it’s warm, all encompassing, like a physical caress, a hug. it’s honestly a lot for those who have first met her. and it doesn’t really dim, it’s just…a big fucking presence. think of when you first see the moon, when it feels like it’s too close to earth, it’s beautiful but the implications of it being so close ? catastrophic.

also, i know i mentioned that aj's electricity lives just under his skin and that his touch is often kinda has like little jolts. it's not something he can completely control. he's very careful in touching the people he cares for because he doesn't want to hurt them. he has a stranglehold on his abilities at all time because of this.

[intcritus]

some aj lore.

he met zeus twice, one was recently and the way he walked right past that man like he didn't exist was the most hilarious thing he's ever done. it's the same with any of the greek gods outside of hekate, whose always taken care of him. he doesn't care for them and considering zeus cannot even touch him with that lightning ( believe me, the man has tried but aj eats that shit like skittles ), aj makes sure to spit at his feet whenever they cross paths.

[intcritus]

a lot of times, arsenio can be heard humming a random tune, but he's quite literally humming to the singing of his happy flora. he enjoys when they sing when they're cared for.

[intcritus]

arsenio usually works out in a tanktop, so his shoulders and forearms are covered in freckles.

[dcwnrisen-aa]

if there's one thing about about AJ anyone needs to know is that he's earnest, but he embarrasses far too easily with people he cares about.

[dcwnrisen-aa]

arsenio has litchenburg marks on the inside of both arms, and up the curve up his spine, they're silver and seemed to be etched into his skin. he's had them since he was a boy, from the very first time he lost control of that lightning and it's been lesson to always be careful. lightning doesn't hurt him now, as he can call it down at any time and it bends to his will just by breathing.

[dcwnrisen-aa]

arsenio has soft lips.

[dcwnrisen-aa]

random fact of the day: aj's body is hairless. being zeus's progeny means that the electricity lives just beneath the surface of his skin and the hair that's supposed to grow along his limbs is non-existent because of it. it's like laser hair removal, but for free.

[dcwnrisen-aa]

AJ makes fruit salads as a snack, they mainly consist of mangos, pineapples, honey crisp apples, golden delicious apples, winterfrost berries. they're doused in the juice of lemons and he doesn't eat it until the next day. it's a good, hearty snack that gets him through his day.

[dcwnrisen-aa]

arsenio hates that his glasses fog up when he gets embarrassed. but he also likes that he can be a bit intimidating and downright intense enough to make someone's gaze avert from his own.

[intcritus]

then we have muses who need an actual connection ( emotional especially ) to even feel arousal, to know that they are desired, that they are wanted by their partner, because it makes the passion, the sensualness of the moment even more intense. they enjoy these things because the love of their partner is felt, it's palpable, and they revel in that.

[intcritus]

a side effect of being the biggest green thumb around, arsenio needs to take in sunlight and water like one of flora in his garden. he doesn't mind this much since he's already outside most of the day anyway. but he does have a problem remembering to hydrate since he gets caught up in his tasks.

[intcritus]

🔥⌛️ [for aj!]

🔥 What are your muse’s turn-ons? being touched. it seems so simply until you realize how old he is and how long he's gone without it. but especially if you're someone he cares for, touching him, kissing his skin will get him there. but also, he does like being bitten sometimes, and it doesn't have to be hard, just a nip against his fingertips, to his lips. touching his mouth, as his lips are particularly senstive and it will have him like putty in your hands if you cup his face and run your thumb over his mouth, his glasses will fog up so quick.

⌛️ How long does your muse last in bed? this question should really be, how much time does your muse have to be worshipped ? because aj likes to take his time with learning every dip, every scar, every freaking inch, every spot that will make someone shiver and moan and just fall apart. and he cannot be rushed, because if he wants you, you have to accept that he will want to kiss every inch.

name: Arsenio Julius Drakos. / he usually just goes by AJ. age: looks about 35. real age is around 9,068. height: 6′3. species: demi-god. / witch parents: zeus. his mom, deceased, was a witch whose power was tied to earth/nature. He’s has one sibling,  a sister who he's close to know after almost a decade of no communication. HEKATE, he calls her auntie and she lets him consider she’s pretty much adopted him. Arsenio for all intents and purposes, seems like a normal guy who just loves tending to the millions of gardens at his disposal. And he projects that onto the people who came into his shop. There’s never a chance that his greenery will ever look dull because of the life he breathes into them. And even with that subdued excitement about flora and the like, is an intense man who simply does not want to be seen. 

He lives a relatively mild life, his home on the edge of the forest where he can experiment with the powers his mother taught him to use. His weight has never been an issue for him, he knows what he looks like in the morning, he knows he can wield lightning, manipulate it’s energy but he also knows his ties to nature. But the only thing he wants at the moment, is to simply keep himself afloat in a weird that seems more and more chaotic. Werewolves. Vampires. Ghouls. All those things that go bump in the night. Guess he’ll have to deal with the fuckery in his own way.
