popping in to ask about world formula, senate, and altus from the vanitas no carte ask meme, for egon and heartman if you don't mind!! :3

@valentinesparda 💚💜

Well hello there Val! It is good to hear from you again, friend. Thank you for the ask!

Good Afternoon, the ask is appreciated. We apologize that it has taken us this long to answer.

World Formula - does your partner have any unique abilities or powers? Tell us about them! If not, tell us about a power you think would suit them.

Goodness, yes! Tether has DOOMs on the same level as our good friend Fragile, and is a repatriate. They are a very unique individual I would say.

Codi does not have abilities per say, but they do have the tendency to attract ghosts who need help if that counts.

Senate - do you confide in your partner or are there some secrets you can't share with them? Are there other people you confide in besides your partner?

It used to be before we fully accepted our fates and moved on from our trauma that we barely spoke about certain subjects. But now, we both confide in each other almost everything and anything. The three people I can say I truly confide in besides Tether would be Sam, Fragile, and Deadman. I think they would say the same.

Secrets are something I generally do not tend to keep. I tend not to share some information with others that aren't suitable for conversation. However, I do converse with Codi about specific things more so than my fellow Ghostbusters. I tend to confide in both them and Ray over Peter and Winston however, since I would say I am closer with those two.

Altus - what is your home life with your partner like? Do you two live together? If so, where? How do you split up chores? What is an ordinary day in your home like? If you don't live together, do you want to?

Home life is generally quiet nowadays post the Amelie incident. We're both extremely domestic and it's been lovely spending time together with them. We do live together in my lab up in the mountains. Since we're both extremely clean people, there's barely any chores for us to do besides dishes. An ordinary day is simply: breakfast that either I or Tether prepare, lab work/research, lunch, catching up with our colleagues, more research, dinner, relaxation time.

Codi and I have been living together long before we started our courtship due to them getting hired as a Ghostbuster. We currently reside in the firehouse Peter, Ray, and I had bought in the early beginnings of our paranormal investigating. All of us have assigned chores for the week that we switch between. Our home life sometimes is non-existent since we usually are out on jobs and we barely get time to ourselves at the moment.

Heartman, What do you do to comfort them when your s/o is down?

Well hello! Nice to see you in our inbox for another year yet again. It's always a pleasure to see familiar faces.

There are a plethora of things that I do to help comfort Tether when they aren't feeling like themselves.

1. I will sometimes pull out one of their favorite record and slow dance with them until they come back down to Earth.

2. Wrap them up in blankets after giving them some tea, and lay in bed with them for a while.

3. cuddling up on the couch and putting on one of their favorite films.

4. Trying to make them laugh with the corniest jokes I can muster. It usually works if it's a downright horrid one.

& 5. Just letting them vent or talk out what they're going through. Letting them know that I am there for them. Sometimes that's all they need.

Chocolat and Crêpe for heartman?

Well hello there, nice to see you in our inbox again @mandrakebrew.

Chocolat : Quick ! Give me 5 things you love the most about S/I !

The Curator was right in saying this was a popular question tonight. But moving right along!

How Tether's eyes light up and their excitement when an experiment goes the way they want it to.

The little snores coming from them that I hear when I wake up first.

The sound of their laugh when playing in the snow with Sam and the little one.

The snorts that follow when the laugh gets out of control.

How at peace they seem to be when visiting my lab.

I could go on and on about the things I adore about them, but I'll leave you all with those for now.

Crêpe : Do you have a sweet tooth ? If so, what is your favorite sweet ?

I do have a bit of a sweet tooth, but not too much. I prefer things such as taffy or pastries. I adore the mint brownies Tether makes when we can get our hands on the ingredients.

We will definitely have to arrange for another one of these soon. Now if you don’t mind, I have some *ahem* important duties to attend to."

[ 🎁, 💛 ] bonjour, heartman. taking the time out of my day to send you a message. do you like to spoil tether? how do you help eachother out with everyday things? [ fragile signs off her letter with a scratchy old envelope drawing and a large 'f' written in cursive ]

“Good Evening Fragile, hope the company is doing well with all the deliveries you have to do and all that.

Regardless, to your question-  I don’t really spoil Tether that much actually but I enjoy it when I do. I usually spoil them with knowledge with the B.D.S. (Before Death Stranding), since they do get curious and I do spoil them by getting more records delivered. Tether does rather enjoy music more so than I. I also love trying different types of wine with them as well although they do have stop me from indulging too much due to the whole dying every twenty-one minutes thing. 

Tether usually makes the two of us breakfast and is a fantastic cook might I add; I could go on and on how they can cook a traditional english breakfast from scratch (when we both have the ingredients of course). They remind me about the increments of time now since we’ve been living together after Sam’s interaction with Amelie... Bridget? The chiral hourglass is still useful when I’m here by myself but it is nice when Tether reminds me by leading me to the couch and putting my head on their lap, stroking my hair all the while it happens. While they do this for me, I am the one who constantly reminds them to both eat, keep themselves hydrated, and sleep. Thank to whatever deity is out there we are finally starting to break out of this habit but I am pretty certain Sam has already told you since he keeps up to date with all of us as well. We both tend to keep one another grounded which is a nice change after... well.. you know.. 

I actually need your help with something special when the time comes Fragile if you don’t mind. I hope to catch up in person with you soon.”

Micolash: Declination, Ephemeris, Zenith

Heartman: Magnitude

- cirice :^)

I AM SO SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T ANSWERED THIS YET @canonloveinterest !! LIFE'S BEEN CRAZY AS OF LATE ABSHSJJD

ANYWAY-- original ask meem can be found here.

Micolash:

Declination: Between you and your FO, who has more life experience? What about relationship experience?

I would say Aiden definitely has more life experience considering he was a major social butterfly while he was attending Byrgenwerth College and just because the boy went through a lot too when he was younger. Look at Micolash, that boy never went outside as a kid and more than likely (I think anyway) has his head in a book all throughout his life. They both kinda flop in the relationship experience tho XD It made their first date just a bit awkward.

Ephemeris: Does your FO tend to be open with their emotions, or rather closed off? Maybe a mix of the two depending on what it is?

I would say because of his occupation, Micolash tends to be closed off with his emotions but tries his best to show it when around his partner. Aiden knows this and appreciates that Micolash does try.

Zenith: If you had the ability to change one thing about your FO's backstory for the better, would you do it? What would it be?

You know, the longer I have known Micolash and delved into his psyche and lore, I honestly wouldn't change it because it's tragically beautiful and somber what happens to him. I would want him to be happier and not lose his sanity but it also just fits his character too much and I wouldn't want to change that. I love the lil silly unhinged scholar.

Heartman:

Magnitude: What is one thing they have learned from you? Could be a skill, a topic you know a lot about, etc. What about vice versa?

Hmm… I think a topic that I'd love to learn more about from Heartman would be about BTs and their connection to the Death Stranding. I could honestly listen to him converse for hours about that subject (Tether would too lmao).

From me specifically, I would love to teach him how to draw, specifically with charcoal and ink since I would say that is a medium I excel at. It would be really fun to teach him I think ahshskdk

Now from Tether, my insert, I feel like Heartman could learn a ton about the porters since they were previously one and more about DOOMs sufferers as well.

Maybe I'm just not the man I was before

Take this from me, take this lonely heart

Roll it twice for an f/o of your choosing! Also, the threat to "obscure every poster in [their] house" for not showing rb karma is Perfect 👌. (dragonsmooch)

@dragonsmooch thank you for the ask, and I'm glad you like that threat XD it's my favorite.

I decided to go with Heart//man since he's on the forefront of my brain atm.

3 ~ are there any special holidays or anniversaries you and your f/o celebrate together?

Heart//man and Tether celebrate every Valentine's Day together because they're sappy romantics and it became super special last year since Heart..man proposed.

17 ~ would you ever start a family with your f/o?

I think Heart//man would love to start a family with Tether. But with how the way the world is currently, Heart//man's condition, and after the trauma they both went through; starting a family is the farthest thing on their minds. Maybe in the future, they could adopt a fur baby. Tether would want a cat.

For the spotify ask meme, if you haven’t already- 11, 32, 51!

Thank you for the ask!!

11. PHONKY TOWN by PlayaPhonk - is not associated with a ship! It is a huge vibe for Rocket though.

32. i apologize if you feel something by Bring Me The Horizon - is associated with two ships actually! Mama (DS) and Sulfur & Shigaraki and Ghostfreak!

51. Connected (Yours Forever) by Hydelic - most definitely is associated with self ship!!! This was the song for Micolash and Aiden's wedding in January of this year!

[dzvagabond]

6, 8, 22, and 68 for the spotify wrapped ask meme!! ;3c

@valentinesparda thank you bestie for da ask uwu

6. Ascension (feat. Vince Staples) by Gorillaz - is not associated with a self ship but it is, however, on Alistair's playlist because it is a huge vibe for him. A song that he would blast while driving down the streets of Los Santos with his crew if you will. 8: Blinding Lights by The Weeknd - this is associated with a self ship, Gordon Freeman and Atticus uwu

22: Belong by Editors - this is also associated with a self ship that I have negated to talk about on this blog but, it's for Tomura Shigaraki and my villain insert Ghostfreak. This song I also associate with another self ship of mine: Algernon and Newt.

68: Death Stranding by CHVRCHES - This one should be very very obvious on who's ship playlist this is on but I will say it anyway. Heartman and Tether who will probably have this song on their wedding playlist. ...when i finally plan the wedding...
