Prompt #1: Voracious

There was something remarkably charming about the woman’s incessant questions about the many words she read or those she heard, something almost decidedly childlike in its innocence. It was, in either case, something the Miqo’te currently serving as something of a play-teacher could do little - nor did she have such a desire - to dissuade. 

It was just one such night in her dorm room that had found her playing host to her fellow student as she was propositioned, again, with another half-dozen questions on what a few words heard in passing could mean. Thinking back, she really hadn’t any idea as to where Arizelle could have heard the word voracious but she was entirely happy with educating her on its meaning. 

“The best students are voracious learners, like you, always seeking out extra information after class.” 

She had joked, offering up the example with as much a sincere expression of her admiration to her peer’s quality of character as it was a mere instructive exercise. It was refreshing in its own way and it reminded her of someone she had once known in the past — A Raen girl with as much appetite for life as any she had otherwise known — One day, it was deeply hoped, she would cross paths with her again. She had few friends she cherished as deeply but the excitable soul she had met earlier this evening was quickly growing on her heart...

If only because she was so much more tolerable than the others.

📝 Michishio and Rae :3

Their first impression:An actual Doman? I’ll need to be careful around this one. She seems relatively uneducated, so it’s likely I may merely claim Doma is large, and things are different where I am from… Everyone has accepted that so far. It’s strange to use the size of surface-dweller’s own countries against them, but perhaps ignorance is a universal trait? I am no better. At the least, she seems pleasant. It’s nice to have someone about a little more… attuned to doing things the way I’m accustomed. I wouldn’t be averse to tea sometime. I’ll just… be cautious.

Their current impression:Never have I met a woman so wholly driven by whim and sentiment. Some may think her foolish, and I would not be inclined to argue. I rather think her… true to herself in a way few dare, for good and for bad. Clearly she has made many poor decisions, and continues to make more. But to compromise the purity of her drive would be to unmake her, I fear. She lacks wisdom, but how may one teach this? How arrogant is it to assume one has the proper wisdom to impart? I pray only her choices lead her to a place of happiness, free of the struggles she now faces… and with luck, has begun to conquer.

What they like the most about your character:She is genuine and open to a surprising degree, without being overbearing. She is mild and gentle by temperament, but has the resolve to reach for steel if necessary. Or does she? I know she has before, and seeks to do so again. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen her actually fight… Regardless, she has a simplicity about her that is comforting. I don’t particularly care to admit it, but I also enjoy a mischievous streak.

What they dislike the most about your character:She is weak. There is no pleasant way to put it. Whether in yielding to another or to her own impulses, she is buffeted about by life’s tides and dashed upon the rocks again and again for simple want of a firmer hand upon the rudder. Whether it’s someone to keep her out of trouble she needs or simply the time to cultivate fortitude of her own, I know not… Yet her impulses also seem to lead her to seek men who encourage her less constructive urges. I wonder about her latest paramour… A shinobi with poor judgment? How does such a man stay alive?Or… is he simply presenting himself that way… I shall need to get to know him better. For Rae’s sake.

What your character is for them (Friend, lover, rival etc.):Somehow, she’s managed to become an adoptive little sister.  I am… still not entirely clear how that came about. She seems so in need of care and so genuinely elated for any warmth she’s given, it’s quite difficult not to become fond of her. She reminds me of an old friend of mine, in a number of ways. About as warm and… eager to seek embraces, nearly as brash, yet far more self-destructive. I may have my work cut out for me.

A general opinion of their relationship:Warm. Congenial. Looking back, it’s almost… worrisome how she so quickly punched through every barrier of polite distance and hesitance (and yes, shyness, I’m not ashamed to admit my own nature) to become friends. Is it really so simple as she makes it or does she have some quality, some gift that lets her merrily dance past all defenses and the shuffling lockstep of social procedure? It’s nice though. I can talk to her without worrying about station, distance, deference, seniority… I owe her nothing, but somehow I feel compelled to look after her. I may yet have things to learn from her.

If applicable, something they wish to reveal:I love her but her fogweed stinks and if I ever catch her with anything harder again I’m going to think of some way to terrify her into going straight. Don’t underestimate the power of elder sisters.

First of hopefully a metric fuckton of art done by myself on my new tablet! It’s by no means a masterpiece, and I’m very much still learning, but I thought I’d post my stuff here to chronicle my progress! :) (except none of my nsfw stuff since tumblr will punish me for it fucking lol)

Thanks friendos

Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first four songs that pop up:

I have a fuckload of playlists so, shuffling four times-

Make Me Smile - Sarcastic Sounds

Honesty - Pink Sweat$

Heavenly Father - Isaiah Rashad

Sink Into the Floor - Feng Suave

Grab the nearest book to you and turn to page 23, what line is 17?

The witcher did not stir. He stood calmly.

“You’d better leave, Lord Ostrit,” he said. “It’s growing dark.”

-The Last Wish, Andrzej Sapkowski

Ever had a poem written about you?

Nah, I usually do the poetry lmao

When was the last time you played the air guitar?

I don’t even know, probably recently. I always do when I listen to songs with good guitar.

One sound you hate and one you love:

I hate when a song is ruined by some extra noise that’s just ugly and loud but supposedly “artsy” or whatever. I love the sound of being outside at sunset in autumn, when leaves rustle and fall in the wind and birds are calling to each other.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Yeah

Do you believe in aliens?

I want to believe (Yes)

Do you drive and if so have you gotten in a crash?

I do, and only one but it killed my mother 8 months after I was born

Do you like the smell of gasoline?

Uhh, I don’t really care for it but it’s not gonna make me upset

Last movie you’ve seen?

The Village with @shilohartorian/ @teagenpls, @sleepantares/ @exquisitely-dark, and @alyeisia. It was more interesting in terms of symbolism/premise than it was scary.

Worst injury you’ve ever had?

Herniated/ruptured lumbar disc in my lower back which started out okay but has pretty much ruined my back strength at this point. I was carrying a dude as big as I am up flights of stairs for wrestling conditioning in high school and my spine buckled so RIP. Dumb as hell, I know.

Do you have any obsessions rn?

My RP with @exquisitely-dark, The Witcher, Devilman, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Death Stranding (I have some wild theories about this, ask me sometime), Dark Souls, and probably For Honor.

Do you hold grudges?

For me holding a grudge means someone did something morally unforgivable to me or someone I care about to the point it speaks to the character of the person in question. It’s an ugly word otherwise, I prefer to find resolution if I can.

In a relationship?

Nope, single as fuck

cw: drug use, addiction.

GREETINGS FRIENDS!

I’ve just returned to Mateus and I’m looking for RP partners for long-term relationships with my character!

Rae Naeuri is a Yanxian Raen refugee who has been living for the past two years or so in Thanalan. She's had a wild past year: opening a flower shop, growing and then getting addicted to dream flowers, running away to Gyr Abania to fight Garlemald, almost getting married, and most recently... relapsing into somnus addiction again! Homeless and hopelessly sad, she's back in Eorzea, baby! Single and ready to mingle and do drugs too.

I'm a disgusting hopeless romantic, so I'm looking for a long term romance roleplay partner for my sad lizard. Someone who wants to drag her out of the dumps and help her get back on her feet. Rae has been left mentally fragile from several tragedies in her life, and she is emotionally immature in some cases. This will probably be a rollercoaster of drama, but I want to work with my ideal partner to make the relationship as interesting and dynamic as possible. Here are some quick notes:

🥀Rae Naeuri 

Passionate and emotionally driven 

Wayward 

Open with those she cares for 

Knowledge in botany and agriculture 

Novice samurai 

Tiny but strong

THICC TAIL

Will cry if you yell at her 

Bisexual, strong male preference 

Needs a strong presence to anchor herself to

🌹Ideal Partner (IC) 

Caring soul

A free-spirit

Does not shy away from intimacy

Big and strong Preferably male-identified

Preferably Au Ra, Roegadyn, or Highlander Hyurs (I like the big guys, okay)

Erotic roleplay is not at all required. Erotic roleplay is also not the entire goal. I do enjoy myself a bit of the smut on occasion (see: quite a bit), but that's something we'll talk about for sure. Your character does not need to check off all the spots in the Ideal Partner section to be considered; again, that's something we can discuss privately.

I feel like I've rambled enough. If this didn't scare you away or sounds fun to you for some reason, slide into my DMs and we'll talk. You can reach me on here or on Discord at TCKL#0001.

45. How do they see themselves? (I probably broke the rules by rewording this question, but I think this is a better way to ask it.)

Liana’s self-image is in flux. She has always largely seen herself as deferential of others and destined to help men to greatness while keeping only a modest piece of the pie for herself, but is struggling with her own sudden, unexpected rise in the process and what that means for her own ambitions, whatever those may be. She suddenly has the freedom to ask for and actively hunt down more and it quietly very afraid of holding that kind of power.

She has always needed an impenetrable wall between herself and others, being under constant scrutiny for a number of years. Her unguarded self is still a bit of a mystery and a surprise to her, not having had a lot of opportunities to explore it in the past. How much of her daily persona is true to her and how much of it is habit remains to be seen.

Thanks @rae-naeuri

📰 - An obituary for your character was found in the local paper this morning. What did it say?

Arozand Oronir, a monster slayer and long-time resident of Ul’dah, died unexpectedly on the 26th sun of the fourth umbral moon at the age of 29 while on vacation in Costa del Sol.

Arozand is survived by none save his partner Rae Naeuri who states that their Moonfire Faire celebration took a bloody turn in the face of a shark attack. The late slayer of monsters was suddenly attacked by an unknown species of shark while surfing a crest and proceeded to wrestle the beast beneath the water until nothing remained of the struggle except for a cloud of blood.

Arozand was a devoted member of the Immortal Flames and his occupation was a thankless one, yet the number of lives saved by his expertise both in the frontier and within the city of his allegiance is immeasurable.

His remains will be returned to the Azim Steppe where the Xaela people of tribe Oronir will see to his rites of passage.

26. How do they act when they’re happy? Do they sing? Dance? Hum? Or do they hide their emotions?

evette looks and acts like a completely different person when she’s genuinely happy, as opposed to simply amused or feeling a bit of schadenfreude, both of which can make her smile/laugh but i would argue is different from happiness. 

she’s not often a very warm person, nor is she a person who drops her public business persona very easily, so very few people have actually seen her relaxed and happy.

in short: if you wanna find out, you’re gonna have to do some really involved rp to get there. :3c

Waking, Again

cw: drug use, suicide

The clay bricks baked beneath the prone Raen, who slept and sweat, unbothered by the blaze. For once, the sun hung high above Ul’dah, shining directly into the chasm formed between towering stone buildings. Pearl Lane was filled with daylight, exposing the cracked walls and abandoned boxes to the sky’s harsh gaze. Destitute and ragged people scattered into the shade and protection of Ul’dah’s massive central court, much to the annoyance of the guarding Brass Blades.

The Raen held herself, legs curled up to her chest as she laid on her side. Wet strands of bright blonde hair stuck to the sides of her damp, freckled face. Her dirty, off-white tunic was soiled and sweat-drenched, clinging close to her emaciated form. Somehow, she slept soundly, mouth slightly open as she took deep and slow breaths of the hot, dry air.

Two pairs of boots came to a clapping stop in front of her. A pair of patrolling Brass Blades stopped to stand over her. One knelt down, holding their hand in front of her mouth to feel for breath. They motioned to the other, who produced a waterskin, which was promptly dumped on the Raen’s head.

She woke with a gasp, spitting water from her lungs and coughing. “Sleep at night, or find somewhere else.” The foot soldier warned, walking off with his partner before the Raen could retaliate. She wiped the water dripping from her brow, pushing her hair out of her face. Awake, her eyes glowed dully a pale white. She squinted in the harsh light of the afternoon, bringing herself up to sit.

Her head ached endlessly, her mouth was dry and cottony. She felt her arms itch where there were already deep red lines across pink, rash-ridden skin. She managed to find her jacket shoved between her and the wall, and pulled it over body, to hide the unsightly marks on her arms. After a moment of preparation, she brought herself to a wobbling stand, and moved on to try and find somewhere else.

She had no home anymore.

In Yanxia, she looked on the charred rubble of a farm house, long-forgotten and left to wear in the weather. There was no livestock to tend to, no siblings to care for, and no family to share her meals with.

In La Noscea, she looked on the boarded up windows of a flower shop. The garden outside, once filled with colour and fragrance, had planters only filled with desiccated soil and brown, wilted leaves. There was nothing to grow, no work to be had, and no flowers to gather and wear in her hair.

In Thanalan, she came to an empty apartment. Dust and sand had gathered over the surfaces, long untended. The bed was empty, and any sign of life had long left. There were no meals to prepare, no drinks to share, and no love to be had.

Rae stood on a precipice, looking down in the shimmering waters of Nophica’s Wells. She felt, for the first time in years, that the goddess had nothing to give her but this steep drop. All that she had left her in a moment, and she was alone again. Awake again; without any dreams to grasp, sleep escaped her. She didn’t want to die, but just to rest soundly and let unconsciousness claim her rushing emotions for a few hours.

She stepped away from the precipice, tears streaking her freckled cheeks. She realized. She knew a way.
