what is your assigned love language?

an undoing influence

Can someone tell you what to do? You have been carrying so much love within you for so long it is starting to turn into anger (why does it matter, all you see is red anyways) and you have been dragging this body through each day and every night you are split open on your bed and it is so so so lonely. If someone were to walk in while you were on your bed that way and they stitched you back in a new way, lining the seams with their love and kisses, you’d probably find this dreary world a little more bearable. You want someone to turn you over and over until you look in the mirror and see yourself looking back at yourself with a gentleness which has been lacking in you since forever.

when do you gaze at your soulmate?

when they're dancing

you're not sure if they know you're there or not. you're not sure if it matters. you watch them sway to the music, watch as they twirl around and smile for no one but themselves. they're free and laughing. they're alive and vibrant. they're everything you might never be except when you're with them. so full of life it makes something in your chest tighten. there are frown lines at the corners of your mouth but your lips are smiling right now. rare. and often, only for them. they have light in their hearts and some days you fear the darkness in you might swallow it whole. but they'd never let you walk away. so make sure the darkness inside you keeps all the other monsters away from their tender heart.

tagging you!

[ Scars are like pencil marks on Oleander's skin. Small and faded but large in quantity. They're barely noticeable unless you're standing close to him. He couldn't tell you how exactly they happened. Most, if not all of them are from sparring matches. Where the sword cut a little too deep, or a point was driven in a little too far. ]

where should you be kissed?

knuckles.

it feels as though you have fought every day of your life. sometimes, you cannot even tell how much of the blood on your hands is your own... and how much comes from those who've tried to hurt those you defend. you deserve the gentleness of a kiss to your bruised knuckles and broken skin, a reminder that you are not only made of violence.

if you HAD to choose, who’s your favorite muse? || what’s a weird headcanon you have for each of your muses? || do your muses get along with each other? || which muse is the most problematic towards other muses? || what is something everyone should know about your muses before interacting?

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

This was Very Hard. It has to be Beau though. He’s been around the longest out of all the muses on this blog. (3 years, I want to say.) I know the most about him and I also just,,, love cowboys.

What’s a weird headcanon you have for each of your muses?

Headcanons coming right up, weird though? Not weird, just oddly specific in some cases! (I didn’t do all of them because of a lack of brainpower, But I did 6 out of 9, so, gfsfhshfgs)

Beau: He travels a lot, but there are periods of time where he’s settled in one place for 6+ months. (Especially during his time as a ranch hand.) In those periods of time, he’s relatively quick to pick up accents and phrases. So some of his words/sentences sound kind of hodgepodge. 

Nikolai: He has lots of tattoos (all able to be hidden under a shirt) and they all have meaning. While the tradition of vory tattoos is largely dead and gone, he still honors parts of it. Most notably: five playing cards in the suit of hearts on his right shoulder blade. This tattoo was originally a forced tattoo to denote an inmate as homosexual. He chose to get that tattoo, and like the thief stars on his chest, knows he has the authority to have that tattoo without people trying to fuck with him.

Dimitri: At 16 he became part of the underground fighting scene in the Bronx after being disowned for being gay. This continued into age 19. He was good at what he did, and his technique was extremely varied. His boxing style would be best known as a boxer-puncher.

Oleander: While Ollie portrays himself as very sporty, he has other interests that he doesn’t talk about often. One of these hobbies is TTRPGs!

Alex: Most of the art he does are realistic fakes from a wide variety of art periods. Give him a paintbrush or charcoal, though, and the art he creates for himself is obscure, very nouveau réalisme-esque. 

Puck: Hates orange, the color, the flavor, the fruit, any of it. 

Do your muses get along with each other?

A lot of their worlds are vastly different from each other (especially my time period OCS) so I haven’t really thought about this before. I think Alex would get on fine with Nikolai, Cato and Oleander would hit it off, and I think Salvador and Dimitri wouldn’t hate each other. 

Which muse is the most problematic towards other muses?

Puck is the most problematic in general tbh. But like I said earlier, they don’t really interact with each other. For my muse to my muse, Nik is definitely the most problematic. To other people’s muses: most likely Puck.

What is something everyone should know about your muses before interacting?

I love every one of them, they deserve the world ( most of them) but I also encourage violence towards them. I want them to be happy but I think that it’s important that they fail, too. (I hope this answers the question!)
