#also a chronic worrier. and just a person who cares deeply

[mohntilyet]

bats eyelashes do you have any resources on tyche’s backstory. if not would you like to talk about her <3 anything about her in fact <3 i love her so and i especially love her with lucanis even though i know she is going through the horrors tm as soon as veilgaurd ends and she has to deal with his whole crow family. feel free to talk about her emotions over that whole ordeal too because I’m very interested in it and I like your thoughts about how it would down!! just shaking my cup at you atp spare tyche pls. much love!!

tyche is. yeah. “i’m the only normal person here” is a thought she has had multiple times throughout this game and it’s only true to an extent. because everyone else around her just leads very intense lives. a woman who thinks the only way out is through but instead of finding a path out she thinks she can just chainsaw her way out of the hedge maze if it gets her to her destination faster. chronically unable to say “i love you” and avoids getting attached. this whole thing was meant to parallel solas a little and the talk they have in the fade where she’s like “…was there nobody in the inquisition you care about” is almost desperate. solas picks up on that like it’s a surprise tool that will him him later

(rest under the cut because i literally just keep going sorry anon)

particularly, a big thing for her is her family, her life in rivain, and how she spends most of this game tearing herself up about it and refusing to get them involved in this ‘saving the world’ bullshit she’s doing. woman who writes to her mother and says “everything is fine. this is the easiest job i’ve ever done. the elven gods are stupid as fuck btw” and the letter is about weisshaupt LOL .. one of the craziest things in vg for me was finding out just how many personal quests involved the companion’s families, because the more she saw her friends lose the more it solidified this idea in her mind that she has done the right thing by isolating her family. she’s usually very direct but this is the one thing she’s very touchy about.

the ‘tevinter slave’ thing that a lord of fortune rook mentions to me is a full out lie told by tyche so no one goes digging into her business. she originally went into this thinking “they less we know about each other, the better. i have a life to get back to after this” and then fails miserably at trying to stay detached and finds herself really liking everyone AND fully inserts herself into their business. she can’t just hear things like “my brother is being manipulated” “my mom doesn’t care about me” “my grandmother is gone” “my baby skeleton son who has done no wrong” “the dwarves need us” “i have to save the griffons. the identity crisis doesn’t matter so much” “i love my hometown and i can’t save it” etc etc and not desperately want to do something to help

sort of meta wise as well because people have critiqued how it’s always rook helping, but not the companions asking rook if they need anything. not to me. not if that was on purpose. a kind of, “i can fix this, and then we can all go home. because that’s what i want, of course. nevermind how these guys have changed my life. i’m sure the hole in my heart doesn’t mean anything”. AND its HEAVY on the lucanis romance. every moment she spends with him, the worse she falls in love, and the more she’s convinced there’s nothing but tragedy to come when he leaves her for the crows. the nuclear level fallout that almost occurs when lucanis says he’ll stay with her as long as he can hold off the crows is so bad. she takes her own duties so seriously and doesn’t expect herself to be what changes things, for anyone. not even necessarily because of low self esteem, but that she is the most pragmatic woman alive, and to a fault <3

you can imagine the weeks when she’s trapped in the fade prison when her family actually shows up like “minrathous just got nuked and my daughter is nowhere to be seen. something has to be wrong. what the fuck happened” and everyone gets about a month to come to terms with the fact that tyche has lied for the better part of a year (not sure about veilguard timeline. i think its minimum 4 months) and unfortunately have to find out a lot more about her through her siblings, and get to stew on that information for a while. i picture awkward conversations and maybe some bickering, and it’s lucanis who is like “well right now she’s dead. so can we focus on getting her back so we can actually talk with her?” <- man who bared his whole life to her and found out she didn’t do the same. i love self sabotage. i think they have a very long talk when she gets back, and the last minute sex has to be shifted a bit in my mind to make some room for what tyche assumes will be a break up speech that turns into a declaration of love and patience. this rewires her brain

aaand the crow stuff (sorry it has taken so long to get here) makes more sense to everyone and how tyche has reacted when they see how much of a unit her family is. tyche can’t picture the kind of betrayal and fighting because she has never experienced it. there’s probably some longing from lucanis here (🌀🌀 oooh you wanna leave your fucked up home sooo bad 🌀🌀) . illario in particular to her is absolutely unthinkable, and despite my adoration for him, tyche hates his guts <3 she also is very close with her grandma and doesn't at all understand caterina, but she's also primed to expect the best from family and it doesn't totally compute what caterina has done until lucanis (or illario. the angst potentials of it coming from illario compel me) actually spells it out for her and then the family dinners get REALLY bad

2, 6, 12 for Marcello, 4, 6, 19, 27 for Jacques, 6, 12 for Cas? ~ 👀

[oh SHIT these are so many questions I feel so blessed…also you must have liked question 6 LOL teasing. Thank you for sending this in man!!!]

Marcello

2. What is their pain tolerance? Do they close their eyes and block it out, or go into a full blown panic?

Oooooh, that depends…If he knows something is going to hurt, he can usually calm down and get it over with by not thinking about it at all. And a few things are selective; being beaten, slapped, things like that have scarily little outward affect on him (mainly because he’s not afraid of what he already knows whoops have i said too much-)But pain he doesn’t know the source of, or didn’t see coming? Horrifying concept to him. He would fall apart and panic if he was ever shot or stabbed, or met with some sort of bodily pain that he doesn’t know why he’s experiencing. He hates torture porn movies like Saw and commonly worries about being put into a situation like that. Case in point, he would rather never feel pain at all and does a semi decent job at making it look like he doesn’t care, but once he’s pushed past his limit, he can’t calm himself down at all.

6. How easily do they cry? Is it different alone vs in public?

A lot easier than you would think. He’s actually far more prone to crying in front of people as opposed to alone, as solitude has always been a form of coping to him. The quickest way to work him up is to betray him, which is a hard task since it’s so difficult to earn his trust in the first place. Talking about his deeper feelings out loud also has a tendency to make him feel overly vulnerable and emotional, and if you really wanna see him cry, be one of his students. Whenever they’re hurting, he’s hurting a hundred times worse and does everything in his power to fix their problems, even if it looks impossible to solve.

12. Do they have someone they trust during their own time of need, or do they prefer to handle it alone?

Marcello’s accompanist is a character my lazy ass has yet to fully develop or name, but I want him to fill this exact role. He’s calm, patient, pretty much the exact opposite of Marcello in almost every way, and that’s why he needs him. When there’s a problem in his life, he wants to hear a voice that isn’t his own nagging at him, one that will suggest the best resolve even if it isn’t one he wants to accept. He treats his accompanist with the utmost respect, although refraining from confiding in him often as he’s scared of burdening him with too many problems.

Jacques

4. What are the most telltale signs that they’re sick or injured?

Everything. This man believes he is the height of subtlety. He is not. When he’s sick, he’ll barely say a word even against Cedric’s teasing, which comes to a slow once he starts to realize Jacques doesn’t feel well, and he’ll take frequent breaks outside or in the bathroom just to have a moment and gather himself. Which proves pretty fruitless once he returns to the kitchen and starts coughing all over again.

When he’s injured, say a problem with his shoulder for example, it’s pretty much the same story with very little talking and breaks to get himself together. The only difference is that he’s visibly frightened as he goes about his duties- Jacques is even more scared of pain than Marcello, easily the most scared out of the bunch. This is the kind of thing that Cedric will notice immediately and either demand he or Jacques take care of it or that Jacques goes home to rest, met with an argument that Jacques can’t keep up with because he’s in pain and concedes pretty easily.

6. How easily do they cry? Is it different alone vs in public?

Not very easily at all. It would take a lot of effort to even get him to the point of trying not to cry. He’s a grown man, been through loss, disappointment, anguish, etc…but he isn’t very used to blaming himself. With Cedric, his pride is already challenged in all sorts of ways. Every now and then, he’ll say something out of retaliation and see it visibly hurt Cedric’s feelings, creating a sort of heavy guilt in his chest that he would normally chalk up to the other person deserving it. Apologizing is when he gets the most emotional, tearing up and blinking it away to apologize properly, which Cedric will point out as a half hearted joke and reignite their “hate how much I love you” relationship all over again.

Jacques is probably a bit more prone to crying if he’s by himself, being the chronic worrier that he is and only making it worse when he’s alone. It’s a damage to his dignity, but he’d rather let himself feel upset without anyone watching than risk losing face.

19. Are they honest to themselves, or do they ignore feeling hurt or sad?

It takes a certain kind of problem for Jacques to ever be honest with himself. I’m in love with this annoying brat who can’t keep his mouth shut? No, no, that’s totally false. I feel embarrassed about my accent and cultural differences? Non, it’s the Americans who are wrong.

After accepting his anguish and guilt over Celeste’s death, Jacques has been able to acknowledge when he feels a certain way, but it’s typically only over a grave problem. If he really thinks he has a right to be hurt or sad over something- which is almost never- he’ll let himself feel that way and take some time to himself. However, it’s usually Cedric that has to point out to him how he isn’t even acknowledging painful things that have happened, and that’s something he deeply appreciates him for, although he can’t deny feeling fed up that someone so much younger gives him so much emotional advice.

27. Have they overworked themselves into sickness or collapse before?

YES HE HAS THANK YOU FOR ASKING OMG

Jacques is a very hard worker, deriving a lot of his pride from his accomplishments and his standing among coworkers. Unfortunately, he didn’t feel too proud when he woke up on the ground next to the oven one day with about eight people standing over him (this sounds like the start to one of my fanfictions i’m gonna try to keep this brief lol)

During the week where a third of the kitchen staff was out with the flu, Jacques took over a great deal of responsibility and a lot more hours than he was used to, with too much time spent working to realize he was coming down with it too. All he remembered before his collapse was Cedric telling him something about using the wrong knife, then grabbing it from his hand and yelling, and then he suddenly woke up on the floor. Needless to say, Cedric took him home after that. For more deets, call 1-800-absolute-barbarism.

~Cas~

6. How easily do they cry? Is it different alone vs in public?

It takes so much to make this man cry- luckily, so fucking much happens in this OCverse. Cas is good enough at controlling himself to hardly risk getting emotional, but alone he either numbs himself out or breaks down, the latter having happened once already in his office after the announcement of Carter’s escape from prison.

If he’s out of it enough he can get pretty emotional in front of other people, though. Too sleep-deprived, too much caffeine, too stressed in general, once all of the above has been met he can pretty much just start talking about how upset or scared he feels without even realizing who’s around him. When he gets this out of it, you could literally say anything to him and he’ll forget about it three seconds later. The squad finds this terrifying, thankfully a rare occurrence, and will usually beg him to go home until he finally does, although they know he’s not going to sleep there either.

12. Do they have someone they trust during their own time of need, or do they prefer to handle it alone?

He would prefer to handle it alone, but Charles is the least tolerant of his bullshit. He knows exactly how Cas can get when he’s upset about something deep and has a decent ability to point out exactly what it is. On top of that, he and Cas are closest in standing despite Charles being of a lower rank than most, giving Cas very little to scold him with about his informality and will instead just stand there and listen while Charles tells him he needs to get his shit together.

When he does deliberately go to him though, Charles listens with an open heart, despite being known to probably like Cas the least. He knows from the director that Cas is a special case, not just in skill but in who he is, and does his best to offer the easiest solutions to help his current situation, although it’s not always best in the long run.

Thank you so much for these questions again!! 

[raven-mcbain-monkeymouse]

Who are your OC's, and who is your favorite one?

I’m so sorry this took so long, real life intervened, then once the chores and the family gatherings and the vacation and the meetings and the doctors appointments were done I kinda forgot I hadn’t answered this, so sorry. I didn’t think anyone would actually ask,so thank you so much! This made me so happy! I love talking about my characters, especially the LoE, they’re my favourites! I have OC’s for the MCU, The X-Files, Legends of SuperFlarrow and my original Feral verse but I’m just going to talk about The LoE and the Flyers verse because I love them. Raven and Bones are my favourites, though I love them all (I also have a soft spot for Elsinger for some reason)

Obsidian (or The League of Extraordinaries to some) is a group dedicated to keeping the extraordinary secret. They have a school to help people with abilities control them and keep them under wraps and they have teams of agents who save the world from all kinds of threats that most of the world don’t think exist.

Raven - Thousands of years old, she doesn’t age and she can’t die (trust her she’s tried). A thief for a good chunk of her life she gained her abilities after stealing a figurine from a temple, it roped itself around her neck and won’t come off. She is one of the original founders of the L.o.E. but has been kicked out twice and quit once. Although she is generally rebellious, temperamental, offhand and seemingly careless and fickle, she has iron core and is a excellent leader and strategist. She constantly says she wants to return to her retirement in her little cabin in the middle of nowhere but actually thrives on conflict and loves her team with a passion. She is the oldest of The Flyers, a group of eternals who all have a tattoo of a flying creature that appears on their shoulder after their first death, which gives them their new name. Although they do consider each other siblings they generally avoid each other due to conflicts (especially Raven and Bat). She has been married five times, and has had several adopted children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Her most prized possession is her long black coat which she’s had for over 100 years.

Bones Mc'Flurb (LoE, living skeleton, world War 1 soldier, tactician, card shark, loves to drink, one of Raven’s closest friends)

Justin Tempest (LoE, former Macco, pyrokinetic, expert fighter, hot tempered, Jonas’s younger brother)

Aquial (LoE, Atlantian army, half-Atlantian, engineer, controls water, expert fighter, driven, passionate, Ben’s wife eventually)

Accalia Mcbain (LoE, former special forces, werewolf, down to earth, expert tactician)

Benjamin Turner (LoE, Tech-void, technopath, pilot, chronic worrier, young, Aquial’s husband eventually)

Jonas Tempest (LoE, former Macco, Cryokinesis, driven, focused, subdued, Justin’s older brother)

Penny Nickels (LoE cadet, luckster, controls luck, orphan, Raven’s ward, sweet, perfectionist)

Hestia Tinders (pyrokinetic, vicious, wild, passionate, unpredictable)

Elsinger (LoE, precognition, more like extreme pattern recognition I guess, high up in the LoE ranks, bureaucratic, secretive, higher up, Raven loves to push his buttons, he actually does care but hides it very well)

Mystique (LoE, telepath, telekinetic, Doctor, scientist, brilliant, genius, pragmatic, cares deeply)

Chance/Feral (former LoE, Raven’s clone, dismissive, unpredictable, rebellious, frustrated, young, animal characteristics, in love with Penny)

Bat (Flyer, eternal, former prince, arrogant, ambitious, stops at nothing to achieve his goals, buried Raven alive once)

Robin (Flyer, eternal, medic, pragmatic, can’t be on the same side of the world as Bluebird for long)

Phoenix (Flyer, eternal, slightly unstable, generally fights with the other Flyers)

Hawk (Flyer, eternal, intelligent, caring, generally the peacemaker of the ‘family’)

Crow (Flyer, eternal, thief, intelligent, Raven’s former partner in crime)

Bluebird (Flyer, eternal, flighty, jack of all trades, former nun, can’t be on the same side of the world as Robin for long)

Dragon (Flyer, eternal, old, wise, deceptive, both a mentor and advisory for the others generally at the same time, agender)

Hummingbird (Flyer, eternal, looks like a very young child and resents it)

Falcon (Flyer, eternal, former pirate, scientist, smart, fun, loves his 'siblings’ despite himself sometimes)

NYAM - LoE, not your average machine, connected to the LoE network, artificial intelligence

Michael “Fuzz” Andrews - LoE, precognition, more like extreme pattern recognition I guess, high up in the LoE ranks, secretive, is actually more manipulative than Elsinger, but they don’t think about him like that, cause he’s helpful and responsible for Raven and her new team coming in

Valandra Moon (former LoE, former Macco, controls plant life, has an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time, fun loving, unpredictable, powerful, smart, old friend of Raven’s, older than she looks but not eternal)

Melissa Skinner (LoE, legacy, invisible, mischievous, fun loving, flirt, the person you want on your side, spy)

Kathryn Dickinson (LoE, precognition, more like extreme pattern recognition I guess, high up in the LoE ranks, like the guys she’s a expert tactician but she’s much more straight forward than either of them, matronly and stern, she won’t put up with any jackalope antics and while fair her word is law)

Alison Turner (LoE cadet, Tech-void, technopath, pilot, programmer, NYAM’s best friend, Ben’s younger sister, passionate and eager to prove herself)
