#OTHER MUSES

[i-am-amora-the-enchantress]

Well I did it again. I went and made a new OC despite having too many that no one wants to interact with. If you’re interested go check her out over at @i-wear-my-horns-like-a-crown Still trying to figure some things out with her but I have posted some open starters.

alt!

Send me "alt!" and I'll introduce you to a charecter I've rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else!

Yaaay another one of these!! There are so many muses I could talk about, this is great. Thank you!

So another one that I played a very long time ago that I've been considering bringing back or experimenting with idk is Lucious Aerglo Vulcan...This one is so old that the note in my phone that I have on his background is from 2018, but he's literally so fleshed out and was so fun to play while he lasted... So buckle up buttercup this is a big one. I'll try to keep it as brief as I can.

Full Gelidan name: Lucious Aerglo Vulcan

Adopted Earthen name: Constantine

Nicknames: Connie, Connor, Costel, Dean, Conn, Teeny, Costin, Cee

He's a soft boy with a dark side, his race is Gelida, which I'll get to in a minute because that's also a creature I made up for this character. He's a scaredy cat, loves spicy food and dogs and all sorts of human things he never knew about before...Based on human diagnoses he has DID, Bipolar, depression, anxiety, ptsd, and adhd, though these are responses caused by the Void within him--more on that later as well.

Back to Gelida...Gelida are ethereal beings created within the celestial realms and, therefore, live outside the laws of time & space. Conn in particular has knowledge of the past, present, and future and can pass through dimensions/times with ease. He is also able to be in two places at once or teleport between positions without any noticeable shift in his position (it's instantaneous). Gelida are characterized by vibrant eyes that shift colours with their moods, soft/squishy/thin skin with an almost elastic feeling to it and a bright angelic glow. They are inherently the most beautiful creatures ever to exist. Their hair is unobtainabley soft, lush, and basically moves on its own along with their aura. I'll leave it at that because I have pages and pages of info on this species and their history/dimension/planet and I don't wanna write a whole novel here...Long story short, though, his realm was consumed by "The Void" and he is the only surviving Gelida and has been contaminated by the Void in his travel out of the destroyed realm.

Cos himself has these features, but at a much lower level due to prolonged exposure to Earthen light. The feature of his eyes changing colour is hidden from others by the glasses he has created out of celestial energy that contain a perception filter. He is mortal due to the combination of being consumed by the Void as well as his longstanding position in the Earthen realm.

The Void itself is the name given to the ultimate destruction of interdimensional existence. It was a star that exploded, died, and then reversed its process at the last second, taking everything in its path with it; similar to the black hole. Every dimension within Quantum (the inner celestial realm) now only exists within the Void--a place of darkness, madness, chaos, and entirely void of intelligent life. The only dimensions left in the universe are those in the outer plane, which includes Earth's dimension.

Since Cos is a dimension-travellor, this is how he both survived the Void and ended up becoming infected by it. The infection of the Void basically gives him a sort of split personality triggered by darkness/shadows or intense, emotional situations. Darkness also drains Gelida of their power and energy and can cause them to die if left without light for too long. Light is the main source of Constantine's life, the lack of celestial light the cause of his mortality

There's a lot more I could get into, but I think I've said enough so I'll leave it there. I honestly forgot how fleshed out this boy's universe was and now I'm thinking of writing a book or something out of it...so hopefully I haven't said too much. The only reason I stopped writing him was I used Mark Fischbach as his faceclaim and a lot of people don't like interacting with YouTuber faceclaims...which now that he's actually making a real movie maybe I can get away with it, you never know...We'll see what happens.

I ought to revamp Mulberry, since they never really got off the ground. Pokemon crossbreeds, hybrids, and variants still just have so much potential to explore.

[sorkos]

Got a multi muse blog here if anyone's interested in my other muses or would like me to write one alongside Sorkos.

Although truth be known I'm actually contemplating giving a couple of others their own blogs too ROFL!

This has been much easier for Sorkos having a personal blog XD

[slvttiest]

Anyone want to give me a plot between Cersei Lannister and Jorah Mormont? Rare pair I know, but what I wouldn’t give for a plot where he’s been banished by Dany and he comes to Cersei. Give me a hateship where she sways him from Dany and it turns to passionate fiery love affair with a hot evil Queen who’s willing to give her personal knight anything he wants if he stays loyal.

[bagel-bird-ainsor]

A couple angry Edgeworths for ya, plus a Gumshoe who’s just happy to be here.

Man he’s so fun to draw. I’m excited to get started on the Investigations remaster! It’ll be my first time playing those games. Looking forwards to seeing Gumshoe and Franziska again, since I’ve gotten through Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice, which I enjoyed thoroughly but there was a severe lack of those two.

so. i understand where the sentiment "listening to an audiobook is the same thing as reading the book" is coming from - i mean, yes, the bottom line is you are taking in the same words in what is possibly a more accessible (or maybe just more enjoyable) format for you! and i'm 100% in agreement that "book snobs" who say "no you didn't really read it" if you listened to the audiobook are full of shit. ofc you should engage with stories in whatever way works for you, there is no moral or intellectual superiority to reading words off a page vs. listening to them

but it also is different? an audiobook is a performance. choices a narrator makes about line readings can drastically influence the meaning of the lines. even just different voices, accents, etc. - there are creative choices being made by the person delivering the words to you, and that affects your experience of the story in a different way than if you were making those choices in your own head. it might even change the way you visualize what's going on!

this isn't a bad thing it's just An Actual Thing & i think it's worth talking about. it rubs me the wrong way when people act like accommodations (and for many people audiobooks are an accommodation) always result in a completely identical experience, or even that they should, & if you suggest that people accessing media in different ways are having different experiences it's somehow ableist

anyway on rare occasions i really enjoy audiobooks but mostly they are much less accessible to me than words on a page (i need to be able to reread, flip back and forth, go at my own pace) & i also just really strongly prefer to encounter a text on my own before hearing someone else's performance of it, if possible! again i don't think it's "better" to read a physical book i just think it is a Distinct form of experiencing a story & acting like the two things are entirely the same is sort of doing a disservice to both

[keplercryptids]

i just think that, most of the time, you really do need to teach people how to love you. and equally, you need to be taught how to love others. this can feel scary and hard and even like a failure, especially if you're approaching a relationship with trauma - shouldn't it be easy to love me? yeah ofc. but love is an act of translation between people across experience, geography, culture, memory. it's constant, purposeful translation. and though it can be hard, there is real joy to be found in the teaching and learning of love.

[tinystepsforward]

idk how many of you remember this but a few years ago tumblr ran a universally panned ad campaign for (us american) pride month that went "the gayest place on the internet".

well someone planning that campaign dropped in to ask the queer automatticians for advice on that and universally me and the other trans people involved were like "don't do it. i am so serious. don't do it. people on tumblr won't understand that it wasn't automattic who instituted the porn ban, or they will, but they'll recognize that automattic hasn't done anything, hands tied or not, to reverse it. nobody will like this. it will be a disaster." and they thanked us for our thoughts and went ahead with it anyway and then had to do retrospectives about how badly it went and were like "we just didn't know" and [gestures] yeah [edit: i think the person who rbed saying it was queerest place on the internet was right, my brain is fried, sorry! and that's... even worse lmao]

Valentine’s is around the corner again. Go check out my cherub muse and give her some attention during her least favorite time of the year.

[mccoyquialisms]

Riz immediately moving to save Fig and leaping in after her without hesitation, Adaine counterspelling a GOD to save her, Gorgug casting Warding Bond…what if I wept

[nothatsmi]

I don't know what I miss more, having free time to draw or these fellas

The raven cycle!!!!

Oh I love these guys. Everything about these books, I want to draw them soooo much more (I probably will)!!

Guys I'm back-

It has been a nightmare lately this is the only thing I managed to draw in weeks? Finals and uni stuff that's taking all of my time and energy, slowly turning me into a cafeinated slug (worst part is caffeine doesn't even have an effect on me? I only drink coffee for the TASTE can you imagine). Anyway the rush won't be over until end of January but hopefully I'll be able to ignore the stress and draw anyway :)

sad: falling out of a hyperfixation

tragic: watching your beloved friends and mutuals fall out of the hyperfixation while you're still in it

[butcharium]

I often do think it is important to call myself a woman. In past I've had kids ask me "are you a man or a girl" and in hindsight I think these kids were quite perceptive of the world. Especially when you're in your 20s it's men and girls, I've seen students write pieces describing themselves as men, but their female peers of the same age they call girls, but I have also heard bisexual women say they like both men and girls. In past I've fallen into that myself and said that yeah I'm a lesbian I like girls, but do I? No I am in my twenties and I am actually only attracted to my fellow adults - women. It does feel more serious, less trivial, both to be and be attracted to women as opposed to girls, and that can be a bit uncomfortable to be faced with. It is also important to me as a butch. I am no longer a tomboy I am a butch I am no longer a girl I am a woman. I am a woman and women can be like me. I don't feel like I've succeeded enough at adulting to call myself a woman, but that doesn't matter. I am 25, and if the word bears other connotations so be it, that's not my problem.
