#ND muse lore

" NO ONE HOME, BUT THE VOID IS LOUD " a z-v06 (pressure, roblox) ask blog

you've been in blacksite long enough to confidently say you know how this place works. you learn more and more with every painful retry of the same mission: gather the crystal. so, yes, you can confidently say you understand this place, that you know how each of the creatures that lurk the halls of blacksite function. or so you think, for in front of you sits an open locker. you've seen these lockers, infested and plagued by that sickly darkness that you can feel the gaze of lingering on you. it preys upon the ones who are more idiotic than others; the ones who see its eyes and still run to it for safety. you've seen this before - you've seen all of this before. you've looked the void in the eyes, and it has felt like death. yet here you are, looking the open locker in the eyes, waiting for the suction cups of those octopus-like tentacles to latch onto you and pull you in. yet it does not try to grab you. it does not try to harm you. it simply watches you. for the first time you call out to the void. the void answers back.

for your first visit to this blog, it is recommended that you look under the cut. please note: currently this blog is on an indefinite hiatus. i apologise.

" THE VOID BREAKS US, THEN RESHAPES US. " the following sections are ooc ;; dividers by @/saradika

📼 ⎯ hey hey heyy welcome to my lil rp askblog :3 this is like. my first askblog in 5-6 years im rusty as fuck n barely remember shit. 🎬 ⎯ im the mun, itris, but haley works too! after seeing all the pressure askblogs pop up i decided to be a so called "free thinker" and make one myself. 📼 ⎯ how old am i? what's my main? what are my pronouns? what are you, a cop? i'm not tellin' you that! (all jokes aside, i only feel comfortable answerin one of these: just use it/its or ey/em!) 🎬 ⎯ considering there's like jack shit regarding the lore of the void-mass puddles (afaik), a lot of this blog will be headcanon heavy! (..mun is also neurodivergant and that may slip through so mun is sorry if it does. muse is not intended to be neurodivergant) 📼 ⎯ english is not my first language and i have dislexia so. im so sorry if shit i say doesn't make sense or my spelling is wackers 🙏 i also make up words sometimes without realising it. i am so sorry 🎬 ⎯ i dont usually use tonetags, so ask me if you need me to clarify my tone! 📼 ⎯ aaalright i think this is enough rambling. ya think it's time for us to hop onto the actual muse info?

" PLEASE, PULL ME FROM THE VOID. " this section is about the askblog. it includes muse info, rules, and anything i think is neceserry.

* buckle in, this section may be long. as if this entire thing wasnt already longer than i intended...

MUSE INFO [written ic, but not as the z-v06 instance]

🔮 ⎯ this instance of z-v06 answers to anything you use to refer to it. it has no sense of identity, therefore does not have a name or pronouns. it is up to you to call it whatever you'd like. though, i'm not sure if it has the ability to care. ...note to self, see if the verbal z-v06 instance is capable of emotions and feelings. 🌌 ⎯ fascinating.. the instance you've stumbled upon appears to be showing no signs of hostility. though, i'm sure that, just like the rest of the monsters that roam blacksite, if you provoke it, it may become more violent. 🔮 ⎯ it seems to be capable of remembering things you tell it. perhaps it can remember faces too.. 🌌 ⎯ not much else can be said. i suppose you'll have to interact with it in order to find out more about it.

[cotestuck]

Some ND and disability things I have noticed reading back over RPs with Risori:

She is on the autism spectrum.

She speaks very exactly about anything she considers important, to avoid it being unintentionally misconstrued.

Lots of textures severely bother her, despite being intensely tactile, so she is very stimmy with comfortable textures and borders clingy with safe people.

Being able to see comfortably during the day leaves her night blind.

She can only see in either a very bright environment or very close in a dark one, and navigates the world primarily through the emotional and tactile information her psionics feed her.

That aside, she has very keen hearing and is sensitive to vibration.

You'll often see her ears moving everywhere and claw or fingertips tracing walls, banisters, counter tops, ect:

Toe claws tapping rock or tile.

Nervous little twitches of one foot or the other that tap her claws a lot more rapidly on hard surfaces where she can't climb.

She has synesthesia.

Sufficiently melodic sounds are vividly visible.

And the right kinds of percussive sounds are tangible.

She will bliss all the way out during a thunderstorm because rain and thunder are two different kinds of pleasantly tangible.

It's been interesting to notice so many little commonalities that the oldest of my brain children shares with me.

TASK 001 - SANTOS.

Q.  HOW  DOES  YOUR  MUSE  FEEL  ABOUT  THEIR  OWN  CLAN?  how  do  they  feel  about  the  other  clans?  where  do  their  loyalties  truly  lie?

a.  santos has absolutely no loyalty to the sky people. his entire life on cronos station was unhappy, one disappointment after the other; and even now, he is hesitant to connect with any sky people beyond venus and her father. when it comes to the other clans, he has no real negative or positive opinions outside of the fact that they are not sky people. that said, he does feel most at home amongst the ice nation at troy and is enjoying his time there, even if it is for a serious reason. still, he wouldn’t say he has a particular loyalty to one group or another - just to himself and whatever scenario works best for him in the moment. 

Q.  DO  THEY  FEEL  AS  THOUGH  THEY  CAN  TRUST  THE  PERSON  LEADING  THEIR  PEOPLE? explain  why  or  why  not.  refer  to  the  lore  page  for  information  on  the  leaders  of  each  clan.

a.  not even remotely - but this is just an extension of santos’ overall distrust of his clan. with his mother dead and his father god knows where, santos has always focused a lot of his hatred and rage about his life onto the most senior authority controlling it: both president santiago nd the council. he hates the way sky people society works, casting people out into the cold (literally) over anything they deem an infraction, and as far as he’s concerned, they are the driving force behind that. 

Q.  WHAT  DOES  YOUR  MUSE  THINK  OF  “THE  DOORS”  THAT  WERE  OPENED  BY  THE  CHILDREN  OF  THE  ORACLE  ALL  THOSE  YEARS  AGO?  have  they  heard  the  rumors  that  the  search  to  open  more  of  the  doors  continues  on?  if  so,  how  do  they  feel  about  it?

a.  santos admittedly doesn’t think much about the grounders’ lore beyond the machines themselves. but the rumors he does hear about the doors definitely intrigue him. he finds the overall culture of the grounder clans to be more organic and real than his own - less sanitized. so, even though he doesn’t understand the fear some grounders feel about the thought of more doors opening, part of him wants to see it just to see what happens. 

Q.  WHAT  ARE  YOUR  MUSE’S  VIEWS  ON  THE  MACHINES? are  they  someone  willing  to  do  battle  with  them  or  do  they  avidly  avoid  detection  while  in  the  wilds?  what  are  their  theories  on  what  the  machines’  true  purpose  is/what  they  were  made  for?  if  they  don’t  believe  that  the  machines  were  made  by  the  gods,  do  they  have  any  ideas  or  beliefs  about  who  made  them?

a.  as someone with an interest in tech, santos is fascinated by the machines. the combination of raw power and technology is right up his alley and he is actively looking forward to a chance to come face to face with one someday. he’s willing to do battle (though he isn’t naive enough to think he can punch them down), but more than that, he’d be interested in understanding what makes them tick. picking one apart, putting them back together, taming them even - it’s a rare situation where santos wants to create and understand, rather than destroy. 

being from the sky people, a lot of his interest in them is focused on the present. he doesn’t theorize too much about their purpose, who created them, etc because them existing on the ground is the only thing he’s ever known. that doesn’t mean he won’t listen to grounders talk about it though - in fact, it’s one of the few things he’ll actively and enthusiastically interact with grounders about. 

Q.  IS  YOUR  MUSE  A  SKILLED  FIGHTER? if  so,  who  taught  them  how  and  what  weapon(s)  do  they  use  most  frequently?  if  not,  how  does  your  muse  defend  themselves  in  the  wilds  or  against  enemies?

a.  ‘skilled’ is a very relative term. is santos someone who fights -- and wins -- often and well? absolutely. but, he was never formally trained in either combat or weapons, and likely couldn’t best a trained fighter in strategy. he’s always relied on his brute strength and rage to push him through any altercation because that’s what got him fighting in the first place --- the loneliness that turned to anger the more the world seemed to forsake him. he uses his fists most often in fights, but isn’t opposed to using weapons, typically anything he can get his hand on in the moment. if he had to choose a preferred or more frequent weapon, it would be something he could beat someone with, i.e. a pipe (as opposed to something of a longer range). so far, he hasn’t had a direct encounter with a machine to figure out how he would defend himself against them, but one thing’s for sure: he’d go down swinging.

4. On your fandom. 

Which one lmao....um, well X-Men? Cool, a lot of the fandom to some degree is drawn cuz they can relate be they part of some type of minority group. Don’t see too many assholes, I think most of the jerks that were on here fell off during nippocalypse. There is a divide with the comic elitists vs xmcu and it’s dumb. I used to be an xmcu blog cuz I WANTED to read the comics but I was a broke ass college student who had literally no access to that, but I’d seen Wolverine and the X-Men, plus the movies that were out at the time. If I’d let those asses run me off, well, wouldn’t have continued to build my comic book collection (I’d already read Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, I’m talking specifically X-Men comics).

Arrowverse? I don’t follow many of the blogs, I have a select few I follow. My fandom experience is pretty much my friends with fairly similar views so I can’t speak on the fandom outside of the fact there’s a loooot of veiled hating on women of color under the guise of griping with the crappy writing. I try to avoid it. I don’t hold with Iris and Cecile hate, they’re good characters subjected to the writing of white men, what do you want.

Star Wars? NOPE. Hell naw. No thank you. Bye. I have no interest. I make it very clear this is a “the prequels are the shit, TCW is a fucking joke and trashes the characters, not!Star Wars mouse sequels are non-existent, the og EU is not legends it’s the only recognized canon” blog, and I’m this unapologetically. I have extremely strong opinions, I’ve literally been in the fandom since I was 6, I’ve spent hours reading EU content, visual dictionaries and encyclopedias, concept art of the movies books, comics, novelizations, etc. If you’re a stan of the other...stuff, I’ll probably say shit that will offend you and it’s probably for the best you don’t follow me cuz I’m not censoring these opinions, ever, at all. And for the love of all things holy, if you want to call R*ylo okay, or Anidala toxic, we meeting up behind Denny’s, yo.

Supernatural? Kinda sorta, considering I don’t link Nil and Farrar to any of the show canon besides using some of the monster lore. Like we don’t do the appropriation of native spirituality on this blog, so there’s no use of W*nd*g* cuz you’re not supposed to write or say that, like no. I have major problems with the show, that’s a mile and a half long, past season 5 it went downhill, they really should have left Swan Song as the finale. The queer baiting and bury the gays, the trash trash trash finale, the way any poc and female characters are handled, there’s so much oof. I stay away from it. Honestly kind of nice to see the SPN crowd was mostly quiet, it was RAMPANT when I first got on here, and there was a looot of drama. The way the extreme crowd of the fandom conducts themselves with the actors and stuff tells you a lot. Another nope. I prefer to stick to fandomless urban fantasy.

5. On exclusivity. 

If that’s someone’s jam, that’s cool. Doesn’t bother me. At one point I was exclusive to a few versions of characters. Not anymore, but I can understand how sometimes someone just clicks for you to the extent it rubs you wrong seeing a different version. It doesn’t stop me from writing with other people so I literally give no fucks and don’t see why anyone else should either.

20. On 'popular' blogs. 

Here’s where I piss a lot of people off, and I don’t really fucking care, as having at one point been an even more actively sought out blog back when the MCU was taking off in 2012-2014 and having tons of asks and thread requests, I can more than speak on what it’s like being a popular blog.Technically still am, you don’t have to take my word for it, just look in my thread tracker, and that’s not even all the threads cuz some are in drafts cuz they’re starters and I can’t add yet.

There’s nothing wrong with people enjoying your writing and following you. Awesome, good for you. It often proves to be a lot for people and I don’t like when I see people biting off more than they can chew but still pushing for more followers and asks and threads. Frankly, it’s really, really rude. I get wanting to make people happy, or wanting to try new threads and stuff, but you should also be reasonable with how much you can manage. If I see someone complaining about having too many drafts and asks and then not being able to write because of the pressure, but then daily pushing their promo or their wire or memes...and nothings coming of it...and they’re admitting they can’t get their muse to reply...then STOP. “You don’t owe anyone anything” means you don’t owe anyone respect and obligations that aren’t due.

When you decide to join a collaborative writing hobby, you’re still committing to your partners to write to some degree. Now if that means you’re going to be slow, and super minimal with which followers you actually interact with THAT IS FINE...as long as you have that communicated and make it very clear to the people who follow you they’re probably just following to be lurkers. But I can’t get with constantly pulling for interaction then within the same day the whole inbox is being dumped, drafts are being dumped, the same three people are the only ones ever getting a reply for the past three months, etc.

There’s been times I’ve said I can’t plot right now, there’s been weeks I bump all the memes in my queue further down so that they don’t post so I can catch up. I’m so secure with partners I don’t follow back unless I get my rules code sent in (newsflash: 9/10 I never see it). I never post a promo. I really don’t need to, if I see someone I really want to interact with on my dash, I’ll follow first, but I can’t in good conscious promote myself when I’m at a decent spot keeping up with a LOT. Sometimes I’m really glad I’m a multi with OCS and mostly female muses, it helps avoid ever reaching the point where I’m just getting too many followers to keep up with, but giving yourself a cut-off isn’t a bad thing people. Trying to do too much is.

There, I have successfully pissed off a ton of people, but I’m not taking it back. There’s way too much immaturity on this matter on here, and it’s really a litmus test of the people who HAVE been in group hobbies that are interdependent of cooperation of all members offline, and those who haven’t. “It’s my hobby” isn’t this get of of jail free card you get to wave everywhere when you want to ignore people. You can’t pull that in most hobbies that involve more than one person, whatever it may be, if it’s a DND group, rec sports, chess, whatever. This is my hobby too. I just probably take hobbies and commitment to other people to a more...respectful level. If I have real life, or physical issues, of course that takes priority, but here’s a little secret...we ALL, like 99% of the community, have some degree of mental health, nuerodivergence, jobs, home life, chronic physical issues. I want you to single me out the mun that doesn’t have any of that impacting their writing capabilities to some degree. Please, find them for me. You having those things doesn’t make you special and if you can’t communicate that it’s too much, you need the “flood of follows” from your promo circulating but can’t ever write...I’m just sighing over here.

If any of these opinions rub you wrong, I don’t mind you just unfollowing,that’s fine. No one is forcing you to remain. I strongly believe the people that don’t want to remotely take it seriously, and the people that do take it more seriously, should just keep to themselves, that way no one is getting offended by the other for how they choose to enjoy their hobby. You should enjoy it, goddamnit!!! But NOT at the expense of stringing other people along. Communication is kind of essential here, as much as people want to go “I’m too shy, BLOCK”, but y’all I have ADHD, RSD, social anxiety (I used to live in an anxiety attack it was so bad), and I still do my best to communicate with people even on uncomfortable topics. If I can manage, so can you. And if you CAN’T be mature...and communicate...then mayhaps stick to fanfic until you learn how.

🖊 for all the MacKenna siblings

I hope you don’t mind but I did some more like “general MacKenna” deep lore rather than just the sibllings... because...  I maybe have been building up the family’s collective backstory a fair bit lately... sorry if this wasn’t quite what you asked for... but the muses took this one and ran with it. 

🖊 - The MacKenna’s are loosely based on a family from my original fiction project I have been working on for… a very long time and will never finish… but their original characters were ment to be a family deeply intrenched with the criminal underworld and a lot has still carried over with MJ’s brothers (even Sean) all getting their starts in various criminal activities. 

🖊 - Originally the whole family save MJ was supposed to die… along with John… this however was TOO DARK… and is now only referred to as “the darkest timeline”. 

🖊 - Jimmy’s daughter, Claire,  actually will play a fairly decent sized role as a secondary character in both the FC5 timeline and more importantly… the ND timeline. Mac’s children may pop up come ND with the HIghwaymen but this is still very up in the air as I am unsure of the state of Atlanta post collapse. 

🖊 - Oddly enough another place that I took a lot influence for the dynamics of the MacKennas (and how they function as a family) from the Lannisters and Starks from GRRM’s ASOIAF. This is most apparent with how almost everything that deal with the siblings is usually always handled within the family (rarely involving John) and also the whole notion of “The lone wolf dies, the pack survives” also. This really comes into play once Colin fully splits from PEG. 

🖊 - MacKenna family deep lore - Patrick MacKenna always had ties to the Russian mob (this is important for the story) that main connection was actually Ellie Ivonv’s (my friend’s ocs that features heavily in this story) father. This actually allows for the girls to have met as children when neither of them really remember… but the girls use to play while their father’s did business. 

🖊 - Catherine MacKenna comes from a very large family as well… though all her siblings are girls. This actually factors hugely into her treatment and rivalry with her own daughter. Because Catherine was pitted often against her sisters growing up that she developed a lot of animosity towards other women… particularly those with in her own family. 

🖊 - The Extended family is devout Catholic, several members of Patrick’s family going as far as to enter into the Clergy. This is probably most prevalent in Pre-PEG point in the story, most heavily featured when John and MJ get married by one of Patrick’s brothers who is a priest. After the family joins PEG this causes a massive rift within the larger MacKenna family, the family disowns the rest of MJ’s family. This is actually a fact that Patrick really struggles with in his last years.

Class Feature Friday: Enigma Muse (P2E Bard Muse)

 Ah yes, the P2E bard class, sole natural holder of the occult spellcasting tradition at this point in 2nd Edition thanks to no true psychic classes being present at this point in the game, give or take a vague connection to “obscure lore”.

My bitterness aside, the bard is not a 0-10 casting class that blurs the lines between occult secrets and the mysteries of music and performance. Perhaps something could be said for the “music of the spheres” and the “power of the arts”, but nevertheless, these bards all claim inspiration from a muse, which helps inform some of their abilities.

Today’s subject is the enigma muse, those muses whose true identities and motivations remain somewhat or entirely obscured. They might be dragons or otherworldly beings pulling the strings, or deities that hope to inspire mortals, but either way, those unanswered questions drive those bards to seek out greater mysteries and answers.

 The enigma muse is fairly simple, granting them a vast array of knowledge on a variety of subjects, and adding a spell of accuracy to their arsenal.

Beyond that, however, there are several bard feats that have this muse as a prerequisite. These include Loremaster’s Etude, which uses minor magic to recall information more easily; Know-It-All, which rewards even more information when critically succeeding a knowledge roll; True Hypercognition, recalling information at an alarming rate; Studious Capacity, granting an extra spell each day; and Deep Lore, adding more spells to their arsenal.

The following other bard feats also complement enigma bards: Cantrip Expansion, Multifarious Muse, Steady Spellcasting, Quickened Casting, and Perfect Encore, though others may also be good depending on your build.

Your base ability and feats lean themselves towards the bard’s utility as an information utility class, picking up on important information that others miss. Combine that with support spells and your party can be very well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

 The thing about muses is, unlike deities or others that grant power, it’s entirely possible that a muse doesn’t even know that the bard looks to them for inspiration. In the case of an enigma, if the muse is not aware, they might be naturally inscrutable beings or phenomena. If they are aware, they might be deliberately leading them along this path. To whose benefit, only time will tell.

  Though it is dismissed as dangerous folly by most of his peers, Melbrannan has a burning need to understand exactly how the drow split off from the rest of elvenkind. To this end, he has scoured for funding for expeditions to the darkness below, but even if the journey is successful, he may not be prepared for what he finds.

 The exact identity of the Dragon Emperor has been lost to time, but occasionally archaeologists and other secret-seekers search for traces of the truth. Most recently, a lead points to a rumored ruin beneath Comed Marsh. Finding a way down through the muck is one thing, but the black dragon youth that recently moved in is not making anything easier.

 For generations, the crystal artifact known as The Eye has sat imbedded behind the throne of the king, but none know that exactly it’s nature and origins are. It seems to be a powerful magical artifact, but if it still functions, none know how to activate it, but it continues to inspire the imagination regardless.

peeks

Thank you all for your feedback, i will get to the top answer now and do some bios :D

    ❗️ This is important as post. ❗️ A brief explanation about the blog's reboot, for it once existed in the end of 2010's decade. Feel in your complete right to ignore this post, please ! For the most relevant information lies in the rules page. But if curiosity has pinched on your soul or you have previously heard about Holly Molly, the interdimensional cute traveler and ghost whisperer, then stay with us and click on read more ! I hope the button works, let me know if all the text is exposed instead, so I will try to fix it. Be aware that it contains the only piece of deeply personal info I'll share with you on here, I hope you don't find this fact as molesting.

Be welcomed to this roleplay blog ! I'm Saturn, the human behind the muse. Thank you so much for coming by ! If you haven't seen the  ➡️RULES⬅️ and ➡️ABOUT⬅️ pages yet, I cordially invite you to give them a check. You'll be informed about the character and the necessary requirements to start a wonderful adventure with Holly and me. You can check over this ➡️GOOGLE DOCS FILE⬅️ to read it all together instead.

Perhaps Holly's name and role as ghost whisperer sounds familiar to you. If it doesn't, it's okay ! In both cases, you'll need to read her bio carefully because if you once happened to meet her, you will not find the same character she's been relying on previous to this reboot.

And yes. This is a reboot of a roleplay blog created between 2015 and 2020s. I had two reasons to deactivate it and wait a year and a spoon to bring it back to life. Honestly, I thought it was going to be a permanent close, but even I am surprised of how much Holly begged !! So I had to bring her back, but with a completely different backstory.

Let's begin for the fact that her backstory relied firmly in an old TV series. A secondary character that had not a lore at all just to say so. She was a mere concept and nothing else that contributed quite a bit with another and more relevant canon character from the same series. So I decided to take this secondary chara and give it sentience, then I thought: "What if she just had a human AU ?" and ta-daa !! That's how her story started. It was a funny concept to play with, but in the end, two reasons have left me anchored to a sole choice. A temporal exit for the moment, and somehow a wise way to leave a place that was causing me more trouble than fun as well, affecting my physical health until recent days. Yes, you heard well. Physical. Not to mention the psychological damage in the way, but let's just proceed with the explanation.

What if I start with the first and MAIN reason of the previous blog's deactivation ? Alright, let's go. My lack of interest towards the series whose concept has made me originate her story in general. That, in resume. She was mostly an OC than that canon character I relied her story on at some point, but she was GLUED to her origins, and even if I wanted to transport her to diverse universes ---like the ones on my verses page, for example. Her original nature would always unleash and that would limit me to write whatever else I would want to develop, add, quit or modify on her. She was a caged concept since the begin, but I was too blind to realize about it, like that snake game from old mobile phones, where the snake is so long that you end up losing the game at some point because collision is inevitable. A labyrinth with no exit, no beginning, no end. She was caged to a series that was essentially losing its spark, an universe entering into its Proton Decay era, something that was no longer what it used to be. And like an hermit crab on a small shell, I was starting to feel claustrophobic about her concept which has led me to explore new horizons for Holly. Horizons that didn't work no matter how much effort I've put in applying them to her because her concept had to be explained, a concept that was ONLY from that TV series only, and that discomforted me like if it would be more a flaw I preferred to hide than something I’d feel comfortable explaining. Thence I can say that what was glued to her was also sucking her essence, her originality, and was slaving her to return to the same universe she came from, one that didn't suit my comfort anymore due to its proximate finale and because I have changed my mind and tastes in regards to it.

At the same time that my activity has exponentially reduced on such that blog ---which takes us to the second reason I did quit from here in past year-- I found myself facing one of the toughest moments in my online life. One that has affected my way to perceive other roleplayers and people in general. I’ve seen the worst things you can see in a human being, in somewhere else, said by someone else, but confessed by this same person afterwards. A person I BELIEVED I KNEW well for 4 years, but I WAS WRONG. A person that has shown me they were NOT reliable at all. A person whom I had to handle in the most human way possible because apparently, they were a sensitive mind and I didn't want to be the cause of their self damage ---thing they were vulnerable to at such that moment-- but all I felt ( and feel ) for them is filth and repulsion. I entered into a catatonic status, I stopped sleeping, eating, and I've been generating bad habits in posture for example ( sitting really tense and shivering almost all day ) which I ended up paying with migraines, muscular tension, and other things that need to be checked to receive a diagnose. I had to shut Holly down, I didn't know what to do. That monster, it was just consuming me from inside. I don't wanna associate with any beast like it. I just want to roleplay, no more bonds, no more trust... or better said, I’m AFRAID TO TRUST ANYONE SINCE NOW ON.

      g-get me ? But I'm trying. I’m sincere, transparent and fully honest, so I can’t see why people can hide so many things to someone who is truly honest with others--- I don't want this experience to mark me like a burning scar. Or at least, if it's a burning scar, I want to put some colorful tattoo over, or show it as "Listen, this happened to me. I've found a close person has turned out to be a demon, but I'm not this experience. I'm more. I can get over it. Not everyone is bad. There are good roleplayers out there with as nice intentions as me."

So... I decided to rewrite Holly now, but not anchored to a story that would chain her to a world I didn't want her to belong anymore. Although there exists a page exclusively dedicated to wondrous verses, and some universes are depicted in the way, her main verse locates her as a completely fandomless character now, who has born and developed in an universe I've created myself, in a world where AIs are starting to rise and start to behave like authentic humans. What is going on her mind this time ? It's time to start over, to lead a new, greater, fascinating adventure in the hands of a cute robot with fighting skills living in the body of a sweet woman named Holly. I invite you and your muse to accompany us and head outstanding stories together.

Be seeing you soon !! Thank you so much for reading this post. I hope it doesn't represent any bother to you. I kindly request you to not bring sad or personal topics about my ungrateful experience, please. I tell my story to you because I want to explain why I put so many boundaries in my rules, and in case someone else has seen the old Holly, they understand what has taken me to deactivate her, simply... to make her greater. Lot greater.

  So, let's turn the page and start over !

                   ---Saturn. 🪐 ✨

Decisions

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the first interlude between Never Feel Alone and the next multichaptered work in the series, named Starting Over. These oneshots will show you some snapshots of our characters lives, establish their routines and relationships, and generally have a different pace than the longer fic :)

Before you begin reading, I'd like to remind you that Thor and Loki grew up as a betrothed couple in this AU, that thought Loki was born to a high-society Asgardian family before they found out about his true nature. They never thought of themselves as brothers or both Odin's sons at any point, though they do refer to each other as brother sometimes.

I hope you enjoy!

Much Love, Annaelle

PS If I forgot to tag anything, let me know!

The One Where Becca Makes a Promise

Decisions Are The Hardest Thing To Make, Especially When It Is a Choice Between Where You Should Be And Where You Want to Be

—Author Unknown

Greenwich, London, UK October 2nd, 2011

Loki

The air itself still tasted of electricity and the stench of burnt ozone lingered in his nostrils.

He was – mercifully – astonishingly – absurdly… alive.

The memory of those last few moments on Svartalfheim were clouded with pain, but he vaguely recalled how the salt of his tears had tasted on Thor’s lips, and how only regret had filtered through his mind, before contentment had overtaken him as his consciousness faded.

He’d been relieved, for at least death meant no more glass cages and no more gilded prison bars on his windows and door.

It meant a sense of freedom which life as Odin’s second son had never awarded him.

He was alive, though miserable and in a lot of pain, and he surely wouldn’t remain so for very long if he did not receive the aid he so desperately needed soon.

Asgardian sorcery was potent, but it had its limits.

Malekith and his ilk had wielded an ancient form of sorcery, perverted and twisted to suit their malicious means, and it festered beneath Loki’s skin, burning through whatever latent spells Odin had weaved to hide his true appearance, leaving him with icy blue skin and undoubtedly blood red eyes.

Had he been at full strength, it would have been possible—though perhaps not easy—to heal himself from the damage that had been done to him, but as it stood, his strength lay with illusion, not healing.

It had been his moth—

No. He rapidly jerked his thoughts from such painful territory and shook his head.

He could not afford to lose what little control he retained—could not let himself succumb to his grief.

Not yet.

Miraculously, he was no longer on Svartalfheim—he had been freed from a cursed existence on its ashen surface—but instead he found himself somewhere on Midgard, apparently, and undoubtedly not very far from where his brother and Malekith were wreaking havoc upon one another.

The wound on his chest had not killed him, as he believed it had when he’d lost consciousness in Thor’s arms, but it ached still, and pulsed blood in small trickles.

“Norns,” he swore, shakily heaving himself up onto his elbows on the hard concrete beneath him.

His leathers were, tragically, torn beyond repair, and his skin was a deep shade of blue, with the edges of the wound starting to turn purple with infection. The reserves of his strength were pathetically sparse, and he could no more summon his magic than he could turn back time.

Loki slumped back down and shut his eyes, drawing a deep breath of air into his lungs, willing his mind to work faster, to regain its former potency so he could devise his next step.

He slipped in and out of consciousness a few times, slumped in whatever dark corner he’d been deposited. The sun was gone when he next woke, and he’d stopped bleeding, at least. He felt much steadier, and his mind felt less clouded by pain and disorientation.

His body appeared to have partially healed itself while he slumbered, because the wound looked several days old rather than fresh and lethal, as it had only hours earlier.

Loki was doing better—and, possibly, he was even out of direct harm’s way—but he was in no shape to defend himself, should it come to that. He would have to identify a safe haven in this Norn-forsaken realm; find a place he could go to ground to heal and to plan. The little alley he had woken in might provide a sense of cover and privacy, but it was hardly a sensible sanctuary—for instance, he was within hearing range of whatever battle still raged, and though no one had yet intruded upon his little alcove, it did not mean no one would.

There were, unfortunately, not many places he could hide on Thor’s beloved Midgard.

The gifts his mother had bestowed upon him were, thankfully, intact and well within his reach, and it was damnably easy to sink into a trance, seeking the farsight Frigga had passed to him through her teachings. Loki may have been mocked and ridiculed—mostly with whispered insults behind Thor’s back, to avoid the God of Thunder’s wrath—for preferring his mother’s teachings of seidr to training with Thor and the other noble boys, but it aided him well.

Seidr had kept him alive many a time before, and Loki was quite certain it would now as well.

His plea to show him safety was met only with a strong urge to find his brother, who stood lonely, and bright and blazing on a square only yards from where Loki was hidden. He gasped, barely resisting the urge to call to him; to beg for Thor to find him and protect him—though Loki was certain he would.

He could not.

He could not return. He could not tell Thor of his survival.

Odin had deemed him disposable and despicable, and he would stop at nothing to hunt him down. Thanos, too, was still out there, unforgiving and cruel, and he would not have forgotten Loki’s—somewhat deliberate—failure to obtain the Tesseract for him. Thanos, more so than even Odin, would tear the universe apart—including Thor—to punish Loki for his betrayal.

Yes… It would suit him much better to remain dead, for now.

No matter how it would break his Thor’s heart.

Better a broken heart than one void of life altogether.

It took considerable strength to push past Thor’s luminous aura, but Loki was nothing if not experienced at ignoring his brother-betrothed’s alluring presence.

He would miss him.

He regretted, perhaps, keeping Thor at arm’s length for as long as he had. He had done so with the best intentions, he rationalised, trying to keep Thor from tiring of him before they’d even exchanged blades. Loki knew their friends had been making bets on the bruð-hlaup already, and that there had been an entire contingent of royal servants dedicated to planning his nuptials to Thor.

Marrying Thor had seemed inevitable his entire life, and while he was certainly not opposed—even if his brother-betrothed had turned out to be an insufferable prat, Loki would have gotten a throne out of the deal—it had been overwhelming sometimes, to know his entire life had been planned for him.

He supposed he had been fortunate enough with his betrothed.

Thor was disgustingly devoted to him, and while it suited Loki very well to be worshipped, Thor’s particular brand of affection was rather suffocating at times. It’d suited him much better, once he’d allowed himself a taste, to keep Thor at a bit of an arm’s length.

He hadn’t been happy about Thor’s gaze straying, but he had been practical enough to understand Thor would always return to him. It had been enough.

The memory of it would have to suffice from now on.

The stark, blinding light that represented Thor in his mind’s eye receded and left but a humble few trustworthy individuals in its wake, one standing out from others.

Loki was hardly surprised.

“The Captain,” he mused. “Of course.”

He had but met the man briefly while in his right mind, but he had gathered quite a bit from Thor’s distracted ramblings when he visited. The man stood as a paragon of truth and justice on Midgard, and even Asgard had heard of the man and taken notice.

Of course, Loki considered, much of said notice had been born of genuine curiosity to meet the first Midgardian to walk Asgardian grounds in centuries—to see the Midgardian who stood alive in only lìkami [LP1] and munr, absent hugr. The ability to sense another being’s soul was one born of the seidr that ran inherent in his blood, but even the most incompetent of Asgardians—and Jotuns, for that matter—stood capable of doing so.

There were tales of souls and bodies walking in separate skins in Asgardian lore and literature, but to find a being that had survived the loss of its soul… the strength of will needed to survive such calamity was immense… very nearly inconceivable.

And yet Thor’s Captain—a mere mortal—had somehow done it.

Thor had not elaborated on the Captain’s tale, as far as Loki knew—not even to him. The evidence, however, was plain to see for all who cared to look.

It stood to reason he would prove to be the only one beside Loki’s brother-betrothed that would stand strong enough to protect him while he recovered. It was damnably simple to find his way to Thor’s Captain’s lodgings once his farsight had shown him the man, despite Loki’s pitiful state.

The chambers he found himself in were dreadfully small, he noted with absent disdain, especially considering he knew the Captain shared these chambers with another. Loki’s own chambers back in the palace in Asgard were much grander and infinitely more luxurious—but then, Loki supposed, he was the second Prince of Asgard, and its future co-regent.

Still.

He wrinkled his nose and took in the—thankfully clean—state of the apartment. It was hardly bigger than the cell they’d had him in for the duration of his trial on Asgard.

There was, at least, unlike in his cell, a cushioned sofa, and he could not quite suppress the groan of relief that fell from his lips when he sank into its soft pillows. His entire body ached unlike it ever had before; a deep and unnatural ache that only the cursed weapons of the Dark Elves were capable of inflicting.

He relished, briefly, in the knowledge that he was safe from harm—at least for the immediate future.

He had not been so far gone that he could not hide himself from Heimdall’s ever-piercing gaze, thankfully, so he ascertained he was still safe from his father’s wrath, should the man ever learn that Loki had escaped his supposed fate yet again.

He rolled his eyes.

Almighty Odin, so self-important and pompous. Loki only felt the fool for not having seen through the endless charade centuries ago—Odin had never been fair or just towards him.

Loki could see now that Odin had never truly intended to allow the match between him and Thor, no matter how they themselves felt about it. He had not allowed himself to consider his relationship with Thor for some time—had not since he had learned of his true parentage, and had seen his future and the life he thought he’d lead go up in smoke—but he did now. He allowed himself a moment to think of the life he’d once—and yes, still—wanted and to mourn it, for he could see no future—no plausible way—wherein he would get to live the life he’d wanted to lead with Thor.

Loki exhaled shakily and dropped his head back against the cushions, staring at the ceiling desolately.

He would miss his brother, like a physical ache, but all made sacrifices for those that they loved, and Loki, despite everything he had done to prove the contrary, loved Thor.

He was unsure how long he sat, comfortably enveloped by the soft cushions, before he sensed a being approaching the apartment. He did not bother to extend much attention towards said approach, certain that it was the Captain returning home after aiding his brother in the inevitable defeat of Malekith—and exacting vengeance for their mother.

As such, he stood astonished when the lock on the entrance clicked and swung open, revealing not the Captain, but the female companion he shared this home with.

Loki froze, as did the woman on the doorstep, pale eyes finding his unerringly, despite the relative darkness shrouding the room. He supposed he must’ve looked frightening—blue skin and red eyes and fingernails crested with dried blood—and he, admittedly, only stayed out of sheer curiosity to see what she would do. Many humans would have run screaming already, but this woman—this slip of a girl—merely glared at him suspiciously, discreetly slipping her hand into her coat pocket to reach for what Loki assumed was a concealed Midgardian weapon.

“No need for such methods,” he said dully. “If I meant you harm, you would already be dead, child.”

Her hand stalled in her pocket, and she squinted at him suspiciously. “Loki? You’re supposed to be dead,” she said accusingly.

Loki snorted and smiled. “And you are supposed to be the Captain. I assure you, we both stand disappointed.”

He blinked blearily when she abruptly turned on the lights, looking at him in something vaguely resembling shock before she replied, “I’m not disappointed, you dick. Thor is devastated—he’ll be overjoyed to hear you’re alive…” and eyed the—frankly disgusting, if he did say so himself—wound on his chest. “…if not entirely well.”

“I suppose he would be,” Loki acknowledged with a tilt of his head, before turning his attention to the injury on his chest. “Now. I don’t suppose you are well-versed in medicinal arts?”

“I—” the dark-haired woman blinked at him. “What?”

Loki hissed in frustration, pressing his fingers against the ragged edges of the wound, clenching his teeth as he spat, “I seek your aid, you insufferable mortal.” He exhaled raggedly, eyes slipping closed as he tried to quell the nausea that welled up because of the pain. “Thor trusts the Captain,” he finally continued, albeit shakily. “I suppose, by extension, he trusts you as well.”

The Norns would not have brought Loki here, would not have allowed him to survive this amount of torment and hurt to abandon him now. If they brought the girl onto his path, it meant she had a part to play in his life, however brief it might be. He fell silent again, allowing himself another moment to grieve what might have been before pasting on a mask of cold indifference.

“And I, despite evidence to the contrary, trust him,” he said loftily, raising an eyebrow at her, though the effect was ruined by the rattling cough that burst from his lips a moment later, his expression twisting into one of agony.

“Christ,” the mortal choked, rushing towards him, nearly flinching away from him when her hands made contact with cold, icy skin. “What the hell happened to you?” She helped him sit back up gingerly, and Loki chuckled humourlessly and eyed her contemplatively before he shrugged and replied, “I got in a minor disagreement with a Dark Elf.”

“Minor?!” she exclaimed as he moved his hand to reveal the long, deep wound. “Holy fuck, if this is what happens during a minor disagreement, I don’t wanna know what full-on fights are like. What the hell did you do to piss him off?”

Her hands moved swiftly in spite of her apparent shock, helping Loki shrug out of the elaborate clothing he was wearing to reveal the pale skin of his chest and the full extent of the wound.

“God,” she breathed, eyes wide and looking slightly green around the gills as she looked at the serrated edges of the wound, where his skin was already turning to a violent shade of red and purple. “Loki, I don’t think I’m qualified to—”

“He was going to kill Thor,” Loki interrupted quietly, pressing his hand over hers where it lay against his chest. “I stopped him, but I—”

He broke off and swallowed thickly, looking away as he collected himself. He had not meant to reveal such weakness before the woman, but there was something distractingly earnest in her demeanour. If he were the kind of man to trust in another, he would certainly feel comfortable divulging his thoughts to her. As it stood, he did not think he had much choice in who he would voice his thoughts to.

It was not, he reasoned, as if he would allow her the memory of their conversation anyway.

He allowed himself to share his fears.

“I thought I was going to die,” he finally admitted in a small voice. “And I was relieved. I was so relieved I wouldn’t die locked up in Odin’s glorified prison cell, that I was free…” It was the deepest secret his heart held, and one he had not intended to give voice to ever—but it needed to be spoken aloud.

"Obviously I didn’t die,” he finally said, with forced levity, deliberately ignoring the sharp burn of tears in his eyes. “But I have no desire to return to my gilded cage on Asgard, so…”  

The human woman was quiet for a moment more, pale blue eyes like the skies on Jotunheim searching his own before she replied. “Well, you’re safe here. I don’t know how much help I’ll be with—” she waved her hand at the nasty wound and wrinkled her nose. “—all of that, but I’ll try. You’ll be safe and welcome here until I can get a message to Steve and Thor.”

“No!” Loki squawked, jerking away from her touch abruptly, fingers clenching and unclenching against her wrist. “No, you mustn’t tell Thor I am alive! No one can know!” He had planned on altering her memories of the night as soon as he was able, but that would do him no good if she contacted his oaf of a brother-betrothed before he could do so.

“He’s going to want to know,” she said slowly, frowning a little at his—undoubtedly—panicked expression. “I can’t really lie to him about something like this.” While she spoke, she carefully cleaned the wound with a foul-smelling transparent potion that stung where it touched his skin, gently attempting to gauge the depth of the wound while she did.

Every touch of her fingers on his skin burned.

“You won’t have to,” he panted, a thin sheen of sweat covering his brow and nose. “Just help me care for this and I’ll be on my way.”

“You can barely sit up,” she pointed out dryly when his elbows nearly gave out from beneath him. “I don’t know how you think you’re going to be walking out of here any time soon, but I’m telling you, it’s not happening.” She shoved him back into the couch cushions none too gently and glared at him.

Loki smiled despite himself, conceding the point for the moment and letting the young mortal fuss over the gaping wound in silence. She was a most intriguing conundrum. Something in her eyes spoke of inherent strength, a backbone stronger than steel, but her hands were tender against his wounds, and he knew his brother had been most impressed by her when they met.

Whatever role she had yet to play in his existence, surely it would extend beyond his brother-betrothed’s lustful ideas for the woman?

He’d been subjected to many a rant when Thor fancied himself enamoured with another, and he had learned to distinguish Thor’s genuine interest from simple lust centuries ago. His brother may have only spoken to this mortal woman a few times—surely not enough times to catch her attention—but the interest had been there when he had spoken of her.

Loki was uncertain if Thor himself was even aware of it.

“I suppose I see the appeal,” he mused aloud, watching the human that had caught his brother’s attention closely. Loki supposed she was attractive, if one liked that sort of thing. Mortals, that is. “You are quite beautiful, for a human.”

He didn’t elaborate, blinking innocently at her when she looked up at him in confusion.

He could not say what had prompted him to speak the words, but now that they had been spoken, he would not—could not—take them back. He had begun planting a seed, and he would see it to fruition, no matter the cost.

Loki was, of course, not a charitable god by nature.

He was not one for sentiment or overt affection, and found it much easier to forgo such connections altogether—but he was not indifferent towards Thor. He had tried to achieve such indifference many times, in myriad ways, and all equally unsuccessful.

Thor had, somehow, burrowed himself beneath Loki’s skin, and it certainly appeared he was there to stay. To survive, Loki supposed he would have to relinquish his grip upon Thor’s heart—it would be entirely unfair and unrealistic to hold Thor to a vow he’d made to a dead man. He supposed giving this mortal woman a nudge towards his oaf of a brother was the least he could do for him.

“You better not be trying to flirt,” she said warningly, poking at his uninjured shoulder. “I’m too gay for your shit, pal.” Loki snorted a laugh, but briefly considered her words. If she were, as she stated, attracted to her own gender, it would be difficult to nudge her towards his brother.

He laughed, though, genuinely and delightedly, finding himself grinning at the sheer nerve of this girl. “You are brassy too,” he chuckled. “No wonder my brother is so taken with you.”

That, clearly, threw her for a loop.

Her hands stilled on his chest, and her eyes were wide with abject surprise. “Thor isn’t… taken with me,” she said incredulously. “He barely knows me. We met like three times,” she insisted, her voice taking on a slightly more hysterical edge by the end of her sentence.

Loki merely chuckled at her, recognising the hint of intrigue in her eye all too easily—not so gay she would reject his brother outright, then, it seemed. “I have been subjected to those he likes to bed for centuries, child.” Loki smiled wanly. “I know the look in his eye when he is interested.”

“I’m not a child,” she said, affronted, shoving at his shoulder lightly when she finished applying a bandage to the shallowest part of his wound.

Loki snorted, recognising the deflection for what it was, but allowing it. “You are to me.”

“Really?” She raised an eyebrow at him. “We’re gonna go there? Last time I checked, you’re what—half a century younger than Thor? Which means you’re around a thousand years old, which, to be fair, is pretty insane if you’re looking at it from a human point of view.”

Loki merely blinked at her, intrigued.

“For an Asgardian though,” she shrugged and smiled playfully. “You’re painfully young, still. In fact, I think, if I cared enough to calculate, you’d be in your late teens, maybe early twenties in human years. And really, which one of us threw a tantrum so bad it involved mass destruction last time they didn’t get what they wanted?”

The corner of Loki’s eye twitched—wholly involuntarily—and he could tell she was biting back a smile.

“Really,” she grinned, “when you think about it… Which one of us is the child again?”

Loki knew the surprise he felt showed on his face—because no one had ever dared to speak to him quite so boldly—before he burst into laughter once again, shaking his head with a wry grin. “Well played, little human,” he nodded. “Well played.”

She preened a little before she turned her attention back to the wound she had—quite efficiently, if Loki did say so himself—cleaned. “I’m gonna have to do stitches in this,” she sighed, poking at the edges of the deepest parts of the injury. Loki winced and frowned, unfamiliar with the term, cocking an eyebrow at her when she looked up at him with an entirely apologetic expression.

The term rapidly became clear when she scampered off to what Loki presumed was the kitchen and returned with an archaic suture kit. He looked up at her in horror, shaking his head decisively. Such methods had not been used in Asgard in centuries, and he would not be subjected to such uncivilized remedial practices.

“Oh, shut up, you big baby,” the mortal grumbled when he told her so, settling down beside him again and unpacking the kit with practised precision. “I’m not gonna do it without anaesthetic. It’s not gonna be fun, but…” she shrugged and raised a questioning eyebrow at him, and Loki had to admire her grit.

Not many would have the gumption to tell a god to shut his mouth.

“Such hoary practice,” Loki huffed, though he allowed her to numb the area where she would be sewing his skin back together without much protest.

“Maybe,” the girl groused, glaring up at him. “But this is the best I’ve got, so it’ll have to do.”

While he was not a queasy man, he did look away when she slipped the needle through his skin. It did not hurt, as she had sworn, but he had no desire to see his skin being sewn together as though it were mere fabric in the hands of Asgard’s worst seamstress.

He turned his attention inward instead, dipping into the pool of farsight that lay tempting and dangerous in the back of his mind for the second time that day. Many who possessed the gift had gone mad in the aftermath of the glimpses it provided, had lost their minds attempting to decipher whatever images farsight had shown them.

Loki was, as such, wary to use the gift his mother had passed to him too often, but in this situation, it was the only gift he could control at all.

It was also a decent distraction from the Midgardian’s crude version of modern medicine.

The world felt muted when he dipped into the farsight, the edges blurred out like an oil canvas that had been smudged when its paint was still wet. When manipulated properly, farsight could show him many things. Things that were, things that are, and some things that had not yet come to pass.

The farsight he had been given by his mother was not unlike the tremendous gifts the great Heimdall himself had been born with, though much less potent. It was a little like a particularly tempting stimulant, and it aided in silencing the cacophony of noise in Loki’s head like nothing else. The sights he saw while in the trance and the sounds he heard did not always leave a lasting impression – some were fleeting as leaves in the wind – but there were those that impacted him beyond any other event in his admittedly hectic life.

He did not expect to see such sights while he drifted in the Sight as his brother’s potential new favourite mortal stitched him back together, but he could feel a sense of urgency behind the vague impressions he was shown – a looming shadow, threatening and frightening but unmoving, a flash of golden eyes and heat, bright and blinding and so strong it split into different pieces and spread out, threatening to drag him along with them.

“Loki?”

His eyes snapped open and he choked, briefly disoriented by the rough withdrawal from his farsight.

He coughed, violently and shakily, and for a moment he thought he was in Asgard, in his own chambers, with Thor only a single wall away. It took him a moment to realise that the hands on his shoulders were too small and too delicate to be his oaf of a brother-betrothed’s, and another to remember how he had ended up in her apartment.

“Are you alright?” she asked concernedly, keeping her hands pressed to his shoulders until she seemed certain he would not keel over should she let go.

“Quite,” Loki rasped. He looked up at the woman who had essentially saved his life and found himself somewhat surprised to feel a tendril of regret. He had a clear plan now, and he could not afford to have Thor running amok trying to find him – he could not risk everything.

“I do apologise for this,” he said, taking advantage of her confusion to thrust his hand forward until he made contact with her forehead, coils of his magic already slipping into her mind, sifting through her memories to alter and erase, wiping every memory of their encounter from her mind. It did not take long, and when he withdrew, she dropped as though she were a puppet whose strings were cut, eyes rolling back in her head.

For reasons he could not name, he caught her and laid her on the sofa he had previously occupied. The time she had spent cleaning and mending his wound had clearly given his magical reserves enough time to minimally replenish themselves, and he relished in being able to erase every trace of his presence in the apartment with a mere flick of his fingers.

He mended his leathers in the same gesture, stroking his fingers across the surface of his chest, unmarred and smooth, as though he’d never been injured at all.  

He paused, briefly, before he left, eyes falling to the mortal he had left slumbering on the sofa.

“I owe you a debt,” he spoke quietly, knowing that her subconsciousness would hear, understand, and file away the words for later. “When you have need of me, call my name.”

Post 8 Facts About Your Muse !!

1) It's surprising to most, because of their careers, that Ekko inherited his intelligence from his parents, who are each geniuses in their own right. His mother was a great mathematician, but was unable to find work after falling into a depression invoked by the death of her sister. His father engraved and made signs, but eventually his business had to be shut down because it was inaccessible, contained in the slums of Zaun.

2) Ekko, whether due to social status or nationality, can't do many things that a normal child his age should be able to do. He can't swim, he can't ride a bike, etc. He surely makes up for it with all the stuff he does that other kids can't, but lol. Nobody throw him in a river, please.

3) The kid's allergic to a multitude of random things. Mostly flowers, and pollen. Which makes it fortunate that he lives in Zaun. But he's also mildly allergic to tomatoes. Will that stop him from eating pizza? No. His tongue swelling up is worth the taste.

4) He's got a pet rat. Named Gizmo. Vladimir found the buddy for him. He carries him around in his scarf. Fun fact. He loves his rat.

5) He doesn't mind Piltover as much as it seems at first glance. He holds a lot of bitterness towards Piltovens because of the fact that they continue to kill/injure his closest friends, but he doesn't hate the region wholly as someone like Jinx does. He holds a sense of pride for Zaun and will continue to battle with their neighbours over inventions, competitively, but he holds no hate or bloodlust. He would never hurt a Piltie unless provoked. He is more upset at the way history played out between the two areas, than anything. Along with the deaths of his friends, obviously.

6) The reason why Ekko had such a famous crush on Jinx was because they used to be in the same street gang. It makes sense if you look at their lore; they both have numbers, long with Vi. Drawings of Jinx and Vi are hung in the gang hideout. So in the verse I've personally created, Jinx and Vi were both in the group when Ekko was younger, about 15 or 16. They left eventually, due to personal vendettas, and Jinx became violent, which is why Ekko essentially was left as the leader of the group. Jinx wasn't always all bad and they weren't always rivals; they were previously friends.

7) Ekko has a multitude of interests that he is unable to take part in due to monetary constraints. For example, he's always wanted to learn guitar, he's a decent artist (spurred by his father), and he wishes he could have done more exploring of other regions in his youth. He knows Zaun like the back of his hand, but his wanderlust insists that it isn't quite enough, no matter what sense of home he has. He has accepted his lack of resources, however, and he makes content with what he can do.

8) Ekko's hair wasn't always white and straight. As a kid, it was wild, dark brown, nd a mess of corkscrew curls. His mother either cut it all off when she could, or braided it in rows so that he wouldn't smack other kids with it, probably. But after he began experimenting with hextech, the radiation harmlessly affected the colour and texture of his hair. It began to grow in white, straight; at this point he was old enough to do it himself, so he cut it into something cooler and told his mother that a kid at school was scooping him dye. She didn't have enough time or energy to not believe him, so that's the story his parents see.

Tagging ) uhhh well I think all my friends have done this but anyone who wants to can use me as their tagger !!!!
