Just because I don't play them anymore doesn't mean I have stopped thinking about them (took the screenshots from discord and added them here because I think all my mutuals who knew the blorbo should see) tw in the tags

Ecstal: you know what they say; you can lead a horse to water-

Kyria, sagely: but you can't drink the horse.

[wacco17]

@bugsandburners you know why :3

Oh 7 and 12 for Ecstal too as a treat

Again!

7. Realistically speaking, they would not be able to keep the child safe for a week. Because as much as they love children, they have a big target on their back currently and having a child means that they are risking that child's life and they won't be able to live with that guilt :D

Everything else is easy to take care of because he grew up with animals and plants and they love them very much.

12. Something that they think is normal and neighbors think it's weird as hell? Honestly probably talking to the ghosties in the neighborhood. For them it makes sense, they've been interacting with them their whole life. Outside of that though? The guy looks like he is cracked out and/or psychotic talking to thin fucking air.

8 for Ecstal cuz I miss them

It's sleepy mimis time, but I would really like to answer these before my typing skills become too incoherent:

They would emotionally never recover I think. They would sit and read the whole SAT prep book, cram an all nighter, pull up the next morning with those hydro-flasks filled with ice, redbulls, and at least 3 shots of blond espresso to keep themselves awake enough to take the test. After the test, they would literally collapse the in the closest thing resembling grass and cry for a solid 5 minutes before being plagued by the night terrors of this test.

Academically I think they would do fine. Not completely bomb the test, but isn't a gifted child. Like probably a 900-1100 range (idk what the range is like now, but when I was in hs this was the average)

Ecstal: Are we fighting or flirting?

Jezek: I am pinning you against the wall with my hand around your neck-

Ecstal: Your point?

[wacco17]

@bugsandburners this is Ecstal and the duke if they ever dance together at a ball. Change my mind

Now YouTube has a habit of recommending me the weirdest stuff recently, but today i got this on my recommendations

And about halfway through listening to this, I went and read the comments, literally I could not stop reading I was there for hours, here are some of my favorites

[wacco17]

hello mutuals if someone could help me find the incorrect quote with Ecstal and Jezek having the sword fight but was suggestive that would be so fucking helpful and I would love you forever

[wacco17]

Jezek: “If this is your way of flirting, you’re doing a terrible job at it.”

Ecstal: “Then what would you suggest?”

Jezek: “Not throwing knives at the object of your affection, for one.”

Ecstal: “In my defence, you do look very attractive when you catch them like that.”

Me doing my summer cleaning: straight vibing

Also me: What if- now hear me out Wacco before you decide to beat me up- a playlist for Ecstal if the poor lad decides to use alcohol to numb the pain of everything that has happened recently

(For yall on here who are working through or have escaped alcoholism I salute you because that is hard bro babes. Ilysm <3)

My babie Ecstal knows how to do flower arrangements! My baby an artist of the unconventional type lol

Hey non guys are any of your characters artistic?

Can ecstal cook? If so, whats their favorite food to make, and their favorite to eat

Ah yes food.

TLDR: They can cook, they love(d) food, but cooking is a group thing

They love food in this house! Like damn!

They are not that great of a cook tho. Like will they burn the kitchen sort of bad? Naw they aint like that, but like they know how to but are too lazy to cook by themselves. Or does it make them feel sad and melancholy? Probably the latter tbh considering that they enjoy cooking the most when they help and prepping/making food is a group affair.

I feel like before his dead status, they were more active in the preparation of food because it was like duh i can get a sneak of a crumb here and there, but since their transformation, food has become a symbolic thing, and they aren't one to refuse a plate (considered rude if you do was how they were raised)

Anyways, they love making anything that requires alot of prep stuff because it's mechanical work that they don't really have to think abt doing but rather just do the thing

Ecstal has led a life full of trouble and strife and loss. Currently, who does he hold most dear and just how far would he go to protect them?

Hello, beloved anon! It seems like you have stumbled upon a very good topic that I've thought about very very well since I created the lad.

How far would Ecstal go and protect the ones he/they love? He'd lay down his own life, to such extremes that if he was told to take his own to keep them safe, he'd do it without blinking. This also can be slightly deranged in the sense that if he could, he would cast Modify Memory to make them forget who he was if this means that he could keep him safe. Currently, the people on their list are very small (seeing that their family is like, well, dead) the list is their current crush (this is not Jezek surprisingly, Jezek is old news for Ecstal atm if you know you know ;3) Chan, Eden, Azeron, Resitho, and Ezra. But like he doesn't realize that he holds them dear. It's like he sees everyone in the Cryptid Crew as idiots who are incompetent, but the thought of them not living to see life as it should be, without corruption curdles his stomach in a way that he doesn't like. It leaves a sour taste in his mouth to think that they might one day die as he hangs around them. And they don't want that from them. (It is the same thing for the Chaos Crew, but Chaos Crew knows each other's secrets and are comfortable with each other with said secrets. Cryptid Crew only knows that they are a tiefling, but that's about it as far as secrets go). I feel like I did a whole run around with this thing, but does this make sense? if not please pester me about it

It is almost 11 pm and I had the most sudden most horrifying thought: is Ecstal a Technoblade kinne or is Technoblade an Ecstal kinnie?!

[wacco17]

Sometimes I sit here, vibing, when I start thinking of all the sayings and old-timey quotes Ecstal's parents would have told them when they are young, and then it hits me at full force.

And I have one that hits different and would be in theme with their parents.

And then sometimes I listen to the Spanish pop songs to grab more inspiration. And then suddenly I have like 20 of them

Which kinda sucks ngl cause the lyrics lose a little bit of their meaning in translation but damn they hit deep (Like for example "Even grey skies are a part of paradise.")

Mourning rituals (According to Ecstal Soydere [actually Beauformont-Flores])

Now that I’ve had some time to think about it, and basing it off of an old post I’ve already kind of fleshed out but here is more. TW: grief process, mourning, child death mention, family death mention. Please also let me know what else I should tag in this please 

More under the cut:

Mourning rituals for Ecstal and the tribe he was raised in is a little mix of somber and sad but also a celebration of life. Like a mix of Viking rituals and Hobbit feasts.

It starts off with the celebration of food, and the tales regaled about the person in question. All stories, both big and small, every little moment that left an impact on someone was told. It is also around this time that the closest people to the deceased would take their time to dress the body in preferred clothes and things that would typically symbolize their family; the trinkets would accumulate as there are many people who belonged to their family (including their spouse, children, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, etc) as the body lays to rest on a pyre in the middle of the tribe’s meeting area

When that was done, it leads to the singing. The first mourning hymn is low, fueled by the deepest singers as this would be the very thing that would start the energy transfer from what they believed would be from the body into the afterlife. The next hymn would include the treble and alto singers, a symbol of the raising of the person’s spirit. Soprano’s would follow last as the end of the second hymn and would continue to harmonize as the chosen person lights a long stick. This is when the tribe falls silent and the chosen person lights the pyre the body is laying on and starts the first verse before the rest of the family (by marriage, birth, and/or chosen) sings the mourning song they have written together. This whole celebration/ritual could last anywhere between 4 days to two weeks, the time dependent on where on the social ladder they landed on as well as if multiple people died at the same time due to an unfortunate accident.

The mourning of children is much different. The family of the child in question would mourn for them in silence, there is no large feast, but keeps those who were close to the child in the loop of the mourning process. Each family mourns a child differently, and it is up to the discretion of the family to mourn for them. It is knows to the village that a child has based, but it is a social taboo to speak the dead child’s name three months after the child has based.
