#because he has to be

[drowxiv]

[1] What first impression do they typically make? Are they likeable from the get go, or take time to grow on people?

Okay first - I really appreciate mutuals playing this game with me. Because it's not even stuff I've asked myself about my characters!

Viedyn- most would find him sociable or even charismatic, but guarded. "Likeable" is a strong word for an evil aligned Drow. But yes, I imagine if Viedyn saw a benefit in it, he'd come across as very likeable.

He's accustomed to having to placate people above him. Especially his Matron and her sisters. He's adept at reading people and masking his true feelings. This means that he can appear charming even when he's seething inside, which makes him a dangerous person to cross.

Durafein - Standoffish and a bit skittish. A few courtiers resorted to literally ambushing him because he's elusive. He's definitely not making fast friends.

What's interesting about Durafein, though, is he DOES grow on people. It takes him a long time to relax around anyone new. But eventually, as long as the person hasn't given him reason to be guarded or suspicious, he'll start to open up. He'll begin to do "normal" things like banter and eat/drink with others. He won't SEEK company but if someone he considers "safe" asks or just happens to be there he won't turn them away. When he gets comfortable enough that he enjoys being around someone, he becomes protective of them in the way that a guard dog is protective. So he may not necessarily CARE about your problems - but he'll enthusiastically eliminate the source for you.

(there was absolutely a "well, technically I didn't kill him. Gravity did that for me." conversation at the table)

"Violence only leads to more violence" TRUE! The thing is tho, a lot of people in power seem to think the start of the violence was the CEO getting shot, but they're wrong. The start of the violence was that very CEO running a company that turns immense, endless human suffering into money.

Violence did lead to more violence, decades of needless death and suffering willfully enacted by millionaires so they can make just a little bit more money, that was the start of the violence. If they didn't want it to escalate eventually, they should have maybe not made killing people the core functionality their entire company hinges on.

The people being tortured and killed by the health insurance industry are not the ones who started the violence, and tbh I don't really think it's on them to end the violence, either.

"You have 72 hours."

Left alone in the consequences of his obsession, he let desperation get hold of his intellect and come up with a plan. For the world. For himself.

I’ve been obsessed with the Olympics for the past week, and obsessed with Dick Grayson for longer, so here’s the crossover we all deserve.

Plus, gorgeous sweaty acrobat in gymnastics poses? Only positives.

part two

[its-hai-time]

so a fun fact abt me is that I work at a print counter, and some days I get bored and make something for myself in secret. A fact that is not helped by my access to design software both in and out of work.

As such, I've begun designing things before work in preparation for me to be bored while at work.

Recently, this has resulted in these business cards being produced.

and I don't think I need to elaborate any more on this.
