[   If you were a deity, what would be your domain? ]

Trickery and Darkness

You are the divine incarnation of darkness, trickery, and deceit, and of all things concealed and impermissible. You lurk in those deep-delved and far-flung places beyond the reach of inquisitive minds and prying eyes, and you shelter outsiders and empower those forced to dwell in the shadows. Mortals often spurn you or brand you as an evil deity due to your association with criminals and plotters; however, it would be more truthful to say you represent a natural antithesis to the status quo. Those who most revere you—thieves, revolutionaries, forbidden cults, and secret societies—merely seek to challenge the established order and reveal its cruel imperfections. Your mythological equivalents are Greece’s Nyx and Hermes, Scandinavia’s Loki, Eurasia’s Veles, and the Navajo’s Coyote.

What’s your muse’s MBPI personality type? (Repost, don’t reblog!)

tagged by @voidamphibian​

tagging: anybody >:0

Advocate - INFJ-A / INFJ-T

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.” - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Advocates are the rarest personality types of all. Still, Advocates leave their mark on the world. They have a deep sense of idealism and integrity, but they aren’t idle dreamers – they take concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting impact.

Advocates’ unique combination of personality traits makes them complex and quite versatile. For example, Advocates can speak with great passion and conviction, especially when standing up for their ideals. At other times, however, they may choose to be soft-spoken and understated, preferring to keep the peace rather than challenge others.

Advocates generally strive to do what’s right – and they want to help create a world where others do the right thing as well. People with this personality type may feel called to use their strengths – including creativity, imagination, and sensitivity – to uplift others and spread compassion. Concepts like egalitarianism and karma can mean a great deal to Advocates.

Strengths:

Creative

Insightful

Principled

Passionate

Altruistic

Weaknesses:

Sensitive to criticism

Reluctant to open up

Perfectionistic

Avoiding the ordinary

Prone to burn-out

Which Hozier song represents how you love?

For Oscar

Cherry Wine

For you, love really is sweet like cherry wine. You yearn for the soft things in life, always searching for the gentleness in love. The love you have radiates warmth and comfort and happy little butterflies in your tummy. It’s giggles under the blankets at night and sweet smiles across the breakfast table pastries. But this sweetness doesn’t make your love any less strong, in fact just the opposite. Love to you is just to be content and warm with the person you love most.

What Kind Of Villain Are You?

stolen from @rxdhairxdsirxns​

Ormad

unwillingly evil

you were forced. your resolve was broken slowly but surely, and now you're unsure of whether you'll ever get it back. for some reason, you believe that your current position is your fault. it isn't. it's the fault of those who did it to you. and yet you soldier on, facing forwards even as you slowly lose your will to continue. when you die, you're calm. unafraid for the first time in a while. this is the one thing they can't take from you.

(very slightly inaccurate because Ormad’s a bitch and nobody forced him to become what he was)

[themanofgloom]

How Do You Need To Be Loved?

Carefully, like a gentle rain on dry Earth

You've been left beaten down and by someone you really trusted and loved, so now love doesn't come easy for you. You want it to. You want to love and be loved, but you're not sure you remember how. So you need someone else to take the lead. They have to be gentle and sweet and patient. They have to watch out for you, and make sure youre doing okay, because most days you feel a little fragile, if not totslly shattered. But someone will come along who will put those pieces back together again.

Character Interview

TAGGED BY: stole it from @rxdhairxdsirxns​!! Steal it from me

REAL NAME: Oscar Mannington

SINGLE OR TAKEN: In canon, he’s single. 

ABILITIES / POWERS: N/A, but in his sub-verse, he’s connected to the Earth itself and it is horrifying.

EYE COLOR: Sky blue.

HAIR COLOR: Pale chestnut brown.

FAMILY MEMBERS: He has a biological set of parents, but also adoptive parents and siblings, who are Mortcia, Barry, Rob, and Sara.

PETS: Marley, a cat, and Grayson, a goose.

SOMETHING THEY DON’T LIKE: Social media. Just thinking about it can trigger major anxiety in him. 

HOBBIES / ACTIVITIES: Writing, art, dancing, figure-skating, gardening, singing, playing piano/violin/kalimba, makeup

EVER HURT ANYONE BEFORE: He definitely has out of anger or self-defense, but those times were when he was much younger, around his 20s.

EVER KILLED ANYONE BEFORE: Nope.

WORST HABIT(S): Self-harm, drinking, isolating, coming off as passive-aggressive, co-dependence, perpetual pessimism, neglect towards his problems

ROLE MODELS(S): Some of his theater friends, and definitely director. 

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Asexual biromantic

THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE/KIDS: Oscar adores the idea of marriage but fears plenty of things about it, such as divorce, arguments, etc. He doesn’t ever want to have kids. He can barely take care of himself and he doesn’t want to end up like his mother. 

FEAR(S): The dark, thunderstorms, abandonment, and anything his anxiety-ridden thoughts deliver to him

STYLE PREFERENCE: Anything that makes him feel good about himself, somehow. This includes soft sweaters and pants that cover up his entire body and hides every single wrinkle, roll, and scar. But due to his tattoos, he’s more confident on showing his arms and legs. 

SOMEONE THEY LOVE: His adoptive family, of course. He used to love a woman named Alice Little, but at this point he questions what kind of love he felt. 

APPROACH TO FRIENDSHIPS: Hesitant and sometimes terrified of letting it go any deeper than just simple friends. He has a history of being unhealthy and toxic and also being treated horribly by some people, but he’s much more afraid of hurting people again. 

THOUGHTS ON PIE: He likes pumpkin pie but he’s forced himself not to eat anything sweet for several years. 

FAVORITE DRINK: Coconut milk and water. 

FAVORITE PLACE TO SPEND TIME AT: The theater he used to work at or his own half-farm, half-cottage. He also loves to spend time at the aquarium he works at. 

SWIM IN THE LAKE OR IN THE OCEAN: Lake. He loves the idea of the ocean but he’s too afraid of possibly drowning despite being a great swimmer. 

THEIR TYPE: Anybody that makes him feel special in a way, like he has a sort of purpose instead of just being an empty slate. He likes people who appear cold and tough on the outside, but somehow he reaches through and makes them feel good about themselves. 

CAMPING OR INDOORS: He’d love to camp, but despite his love for nature he’s terrified of things going wrong when camping, like being lit on fire or losing his pets.
