Blorbo ask game!

Template: X

Pick your favorite blorbo and answer the questions below, then pass it on. Just a little fun and games here and/or can be used for character building: 

The blorbo this time is Figwit (Maenod / Melpomaen). He's bad at picking favorites so prepare for non answers.

What is your blorbo’s: 

1. Favorite season?

The summer. He finds the winter beautiful but he stands up to heat better than the cold.

2. Favorite Food?

He's fond of sweet things, cakes and fruit chief among them. I think his favorite fruit is blackberry.

3. Favorite plant or herb?

He's got a list. The entire viola genus. Violas, violets, pansies. They're all wonderful. The multicolored yellow and purple ones are his favorite.

Violas in Snow 22218-290 by Kathy Whipple Wong+

Dandelions and orchids remind him of his parents (Glorfindel and Erestor, respectively). He's also fond of roses, lavender, and forget-me-nots.

4. Favorite person/being?

It's hard for him to pick one person. But in the timelines where he marries, probably whoever he marries.

5. Favorite place?

In general: libraries, gardens, and close to his loved ones. Geographically: Imladris will always have a special place in his heart. He is absolutely enchanted by the Shire and skirts around Aragorn's ban on entry to it by outsiders by making Sam's acquaintance.

6. Favorite animal?

His horse. Additionally, any horse he ever has or will lay eyes on. Loves his horses. He's very anxious about their care when he goes abroad and prefers to tend to them himself. He also likes butterflies and moths.

7. Favorite drink?

Dandelion tea.

8. Favorite hobby/activity?

He'd probably say something different each time you ask. Calligraphy, translation, transcription, reading, text restoration and preservation, and research are all things he does regularly both at request and for enjoyment. He also enjoys horseback riding and traveling with his friends or family.

9. Do they like to read? If so, favorite genre?

He loves to read. Texts on language and culture, especially if they're either ancient or very current, are his favorite.

10. Do they like to dance?

Yes. 

11. What is their favorite room in the house?

Elrond's house: it's a toss up between his own and the library. Glorfindel and Erestor's cottage: the main room In most other places it's usually the library or archives or other equivalent.

12. Favorite place to travel to?

Fuck if he knows. Lothlorien, for many years. However, when he travels somewhere new, it usually becomes his new favorite place to travel to for a while unless he's found himself there under spectacularly poor circumstances.

13. Who is their best friend?

Erestor is his closest family member and Lindir is his closest friend, though Lindir also operates as family to him.

14. Favorite bioregion?

Out of practicality, more temperate regions are easier for him to handle. Harsher ones are more of challenge but he still enjoys them.

15. Choose one for them: wine, beer, cider, hard liquor, or none?

Cider. As sweet and least alcoholic as possible.

Boss ask meme:

For Zoo: 17 and 19

For Mel(I know she's not a Boss but you asked 😅): 7 and 9

Thank you for the ask!! 🥺

Zoo

17: which romance option is my headcanon?

So obviously I love Matt x Zoo, but the Boss and Johnny romance option actually inspired me to have Zoo have subtle feelings for Johnny. The feelings were really strong back in SR2 but Zoo back off because Johnny had Aisha, then after her death, Zoo really didn't want to come onto Johnny because he knew he was hurting. So finally having some downtime on the Ship and having Johnny back, Zoo just starts rambling about all of the feelings he's had over the years that he's kept hidden and Johnny just cutting him off. It's honestly my second favorite romance option and it helped me develop Zoo quite a bit.

19: Favorite gun/weapon?

I don't know guns, but Zoo's favorite weapon is dual-wielded black pistols because he's an angsty bitch.

Mel

7: OTP/OT3 pairing?

Okay so for like SR3/SR4 Mel, I genuinely still have no idea who to ship her with. But for SR2, I ship her with Matt (SR2), and then semi-jokingly, her, Matt, Maero, and Jess being two couples that mess around with each other. 😆 I do wanna try to think of more ships for her for later games, though!

9: any family, and who is most important?

So Mel has an older brother and a mom. She has no idea who her dad is because her mom definitely got around, and Mel's brother was in jail for armed robbery when she was born, so he was in prison her entire childhood. She was never close to her mom; Mel's mom had a heavy drug problem, and any money she got went right into drugs. So Mel pretty much ran away and got into the crime life so she could survive. Mel has always been closer to her brother and used to always visit him in jail (their mom never visited him). Now that she's been in the Saints and he's out of jail, she doesn't really know where he's gone, but she feels like he has been avoiding her due to her being involved in crime and him possibly trying to avoid that life.

- What would be your muse's ideal weather conditions? Do they prefer being hot or cold? What's their favorite season

Mel does like being in the sun, that’s true, but her ideal weather is more of a partly cloudy day when the warmth comes mostly from the sun and the wind is cool. She likes being warm, though. She doesn’t want to be cold. And she loves late spring.

the real MVPs of arcane

[insomniac-arrest]

I cannot relate to people who dislike female characters for “being manipulative.” She’s literally creative problem solving before your eyes. She’s literally just using her words. Maybe the other blorbos should be less pawn-like for her beautiful hands hmm

[themo-themo]

fuck you i need to go touch grass

[stopiwanttotalkaboutcheese]

actually the best part of the new season is that the jayce/heimerdinger/ekko plotline is My Plant Is Dying And I Don't Want It To :( meanwhile jinx is on the run from the cops, mel is getting kidnapped by witches, viktor is becoming jesus, and caitlyn and vi are speedrunning fascism

Ive been offline 90% of today and its like my phannie senses were tingling. I knew.

[exlibrisfangirl]

Hi friends!

Unfortunately, I never met my goal for April, so I am now facing May with some unpaid bills and a dwindling grocery fund. I'm applying for jobs, but I've had no luck yet.

Anything you can spare will help keep Phoebe and me fed!

I am 3 months post-op today, and walking rehab and surgery recovery are going very well, all things considered! I'm in physical therapy twice per week, and my PT is trying to get insurance to approve a custom orthotic to help me walk better. Pain levels and general function are hugely improved! =)

[melpomaen]

What is bby Mel's favourite bedtime story?

He's not one to discriminate against stories, but he's particularly fond of the oldest and the newest ones.

I think he tends to ask Erestor for the oldest ones he knows, especially ones from his life. From Glorfindel, he always wants to know his news from his travels, whether the "story" is coming across a traveler close to Rivendell or recounting an actual journey somewhere else.

He's also interested in mortals, both their stories and their current businesses.

The stewards of the old world are always keen to give you a glimpse of their might... According to legend, the ancients built specialized chambers to seal away false prophets.

The Arcane is waking up.
