#drink in all that is not yours

[ritualwritten]

what niche character archetype are you?

Elias - the secret mastermind

you are the secret mastermind. while you come across simplistic sometimes, you are more than meets the eye. those secrets that your keeping, are they weighing you down? don't you wish that you could be open with just one person? all the people you've trusted are gone, but that doesn't mean you can't let anyone else in. still, the plans you have might get in the way of that. you'll get what you want, you will make sure of that much, because the world has taken too much away. don't worry, retribution comes eventually.

(( *thinks abt end! and dark! elias* 👀 ))

Emma - the unwilling accomplice

you are the unwilling accomplice. you're not sure what you did to deserve this fate. (yes you are; you've never been good, why start now?) whatever it is you did to end up in this position, you now can't get out, and you're not sure you even want to fight to free yourself. it's easier if you're not in control, isn't it? do you think that makes you less responsible for the blood you've spilled? stop putting your faith in saviors who seem to know your pain. you can only look after yourself.

(( the vibes are there, but emma is a very willing accomplice ))

Jonah - the silver-tongued king 

you are the silver-tongued king. you rule over your own destiny, not the other way around. when you believed you deserved better from the world, you knew you'd do anything to get what you deserved. but the people you lied to, used along the way, did they deserve that fate too? you could talk your way into anyone's trust, but did you become something you can't undo? you're finally happy now, that's what you'll say, but you're hollow. something's missing. (it might be your heart.)

(( yea ))

What Are You?

Tagged by:  @xfaucheuse Tagging:  go forth!! ^^

(( as a note, the results and quiz itself can have horror-adjacent imagery and can be generally unsettling.  just keep that in mind ^^ ))

Fanshawe -  you are bound

thick wires, barbed or not, cross your body, tangled and bent. your body has adjusted to the ache, although sometimes your keeper tightens them and you have to adjust once again. please do not adjust. let your blood boil, and bide your time. tighten your relations, making new ropes, soft and sweet. when the time is right, and you MUST make sure it is, cut through the wire. your ropeburn will stay long, perhaps even forever, but that is normal. keep that in your mind.

Elias -  you are carved away

you have given too much, taken too little. your heart hurts, aching for something your blood burns to refuse. do not give into your blood. your heart needs what it asks for. try looking in the mirror, and trace the patterns of yourself you like the most. if you cant do that, look at the sunset, or the sunrise if you’d prefer.

Jonah -  you are full of blood

blood seeps from your pores, there is too much, far too much, weeping and dribbling and dripping. you hunger for it, you hunger for it all. perhaps you should gives what drips from you to the one carved away. wet meat dribbles from your mouth, perhaps you should give that to the empty one.

Georgie -  you are carved away

where does your power lie?

tagged by:  @distorquere tagging:  have at it! & tag me if u want!!

Elias - the hands 🤲

you can almost physically hold your power. creation comes easily to you, but so does destruction. your strength is in your physical interaction with the world. everything is so tactile. you push and you pull and you strike and you caress and you pray and you hold, hold, hold.

Jonah - the eyes 👁

you are always looking. ahead, back, up, down. you can see all the possibilities, all the consequences, all the stars. your power is steady, squinting, taking everything in. your power is glaring, shining. your strength is in tears of happiness, sorrow, anger, fear. your strength is in your ability to dream, to understand. and you are never the first to blink.

Fanshawe - the heart ❤

your power is steady and driving. your power is fickle, it skips and it races and it bleeds and it burns. your strength is in how much you care, about everything. your strength is cold and it is stone and it is soft and it is on your sleeve. and you love. my god, do you love.

write a letter to your inner child + i’ll tell you what flower you’ve bloomed into

tagged by: deftly lifted from @praemetuere tagging: have fun!! 🌻

Elias -  a poppy, for remembrance

"through the dancing poppies stole a breeze most softly lulling to my soul." — john keats, endymion (1818), book I, line 565. — 

you seem to mourn your past, as your inner child has died. you've been through your battles yet still have an immense amount of hope for the future. a yearning for peace of mind is what you have when you try to look for the sparks you've once felt in your life. but remember, you will no longer have to fight or defend yourself after you grow in a field where the vibrance of your petals are accepted.

Fanshawe -  a chrysanthemum, being the mum of all blooms

"i look for myself but find no one. i belong to the chrysanthemum hour of bright flowers placed in tall vases. I should make an ornament of my soul." — fernando pessoa —

in the west, the chrysanthemum represents death whereas the east reveres its beauty as a symbol of longevity, hope, and gentle kindness. your beauty is so grand, that it draws in a polarity of people. perhaps you sometimes struggle with accepting other people's opinions and viewpoints about you, and this is the reason to your everlasting generosity. sometimes you show compassion to those who do not deserve it. your inner child yearns to accept itself and the depth it holds within all those petals.

Jonah -  a rose, bold and full of thorns

“but he who dares not grasp the thorn should never crave the rose.” ― anne bronte — 

you have always been someone who had strong boundaries. your past troubles led you to become someone who needed to protect themself ― it has been difficult to let people close to you, as your thorns were defense mechanisms to keep you from getting hurt. only those who are able to handle the intensity within you, are capable of holding you. they are willing to do so because they've been hurt before too... so perhaps, your inner child chooses to attract the people who have the vigour and passion you yearn for in this life.

What Kind Of Bread Are You?

tagged by: @chunking-the-deuce tagging: go forth and be bread 🍞

Elias -  wonder bread

Your vibes: the freezer aisle of walmart at 1am; red solo cups half full of flat soda; 99 cent 5-hour energy shots 

You have very little impulse control and you don't give a shit what people think. Even so, you go out of your way to make sure no one gets left behind. You're probably a 90s kid

Jonah -  croissant

Your vibes: quiet buzz of a city street on a warm afternoon; clean glass table-tops; brunch at a local cafe with your closest friends

It can be difficult to talk to you at first, but once you've had a chance to bond with someone, you're an intensely loyal friend. You probably fall under the alignment Distinguished Gay.

Gertrude -  challah

Your vibes: family reunions; open windows; the faint sound of live music from the street below 

You're a hard-worker and you can be a bit of a perfectionist. You value time spent with loved ones above all else

Georgie -  pan dulce

Your vibes: terra cotta roof tiles; a cul de sac in Albuquerque at night, lit by a single lamppost; handmade leather bracelets 

You make people feel warm and safe. Spending time with you is like staring up at the stars for what feels like a few moments then realizing that hours have passed.

Joshua -  zucchini bread

Your vibes: essential oils; piano music; coffee stains 

People go to you when they need someone who will sit and listen to them or when they just need to sit in a companionable silence. You give good advice and you're probably a little bit in love with your best friend

Robin -  strawberry bread

Your vibes: freshly picked wildflowers; tiny spoons; cross-stitch wall decor 

You're sweet and kind. You love people, but you're most content sitting alone in the grass with the sun on your face. You're probably a lesbian and also a bottom.

the scent of your soul

stolen from: @praemetuere tagging: pilfer at your leisure ^^

Elias: Fresh Linen

key words: refreshing, wit, humour

you are a relaxing person to be around and leave a positive impression on almost everybody you interact with! you're always sending the funniest memes in the groupchat and when you really like someone you can talk to them for hours on end. 

compatible with: fresh linen, grass and rain, rosewater

Jonah: Coffee

key words: intelligent, old soul, complex

you are an extremely thoughtful individual with a creative mind and loving heart. being around you is like sinking into a warm bath. there's something truly wise about the advice you give others, and being in your presence leaves others feeling warm, reassured, and inspired. 

compatible with: coffee, candle smoke, freshly baked bread

Georgie: Freshly Baked Bread

key words: warm, inviting, kindness 

you are the definition of cooking as a love language and are at your strongest when creating something. others find you soothing to be around and feel at ease due to your genuine warmth and nurturing nature. you can be a mix of gentle and passionate, but it's that intensity that lives at the centre of your spirit that draws people to you most. 

compatible with: candle smoke, coffee, rosewater

[acemenagerie-a]

what art movement are you?

tagged by: stolen from @praemetuere tagging: go forth!! ^^

Joshua - gothic

regardless of your own beliefs: to you, art is about a higher power. it's a little about striving for an ideal, and a little about remembering what makes you human. you feel safe in places of worship, where you can look at art of all kinds and listen to the stories it tells you. you're rooted in storytelling. you contain multitudes of stories you would like to share with others.

Robin -  romanticism

come on, you know what this is about. it's in the title already. does the mere thought of holding hands make you swoon? would you like to lie beneath a tree for six hours, doing absolutely nothing, and write mushy poetry? yeah, you're not alone. sometimes you think you are, because yearning is always a little painful, and because sometimes you doubt yourself. don't despair, my friend. get outside when it all gets a little too much, and reconnect.

Veronica -  baroque

damn, a fruit bowl always makes me hungry too! but of course you know already that art isn't only about decadence, it's about what decadence implies. because life is fleeting, and death is imminent. you don't want to waste your time on earth, you want to live life to the fullest. and life is about food, about joy, about actually taking opportunities. you read about optimistic nihilism and find strange solace in it.

Jonah - baroque

which unpopular archetype are you?

tagged by:  lifted from @praemetuere tagging:  go forth if u’d like! mind the content warnings on the quiz tho!

Fanshawe -  the loyal

it’s a good thing you’re so patient. you know what it’s like to feel the full weight of doubt bearing down in you. for years, it tried to squeeze the life from your lungs. but nothing’s going to make you bow. you kept the candle’s flame alive. you whispered the names at nightfall. the vigil still lives inside of you. one day, the waiting will have been worth it. all your love is going to come home to you. you’re more important than you know. you’re still the one true believer.

personality: calm, level-headed, stubborn

counterpart: the accomplice

Elias -  the dark horse

who would’ve guessed it’d be you? after all this time, it’s really you? when you were little, nobody knew your name. for so long, you’ve lived as a shade amongst shades. written off, cast aside, overlooked. you did your best work in the shadows. it took you so long to bloom, some thought you would never emerge at all. but now’s your time in the spotlight. all the heroes have failed, but you’re still standing. in the darkest hour, you came in to save the day. you’re our last hope, dark horse!

personality: clever, determined, quiet

counterpart: the killer

Jonah -  the higher power

you’re the best, you’ve always been the best, and now everyone who’s ever doubted you is gone. you’ve gotten everything you wanted. you smoked all your competition. but something inside of you just won’t settle. all the evil of the world is still out there, all the big problems that you never got around to. in spite of your skill, this is something you simply can’t handle yourself. but that’s ok. you’ve got new, shiny pawns to play with. you know how to make people do what you want. the ends justify the means, right?

personality: talented, calculating, overbearing

counterpart: the ghost
