CHARMS + LEPRECHAUN ROMANCE
It’s been a while since I took a serious look at leprechaun romance and charms, so I took another run at it and changed a few things, details under the cut!
I will include details previously outlined in my last post that haven’t changed to consolidate information. GENERALIZED DETAILS:
Charmer - and individual involved in a charm, or a potential charm partner. Can be referred to as “my charmer” or “charm-mate” as a synonym, or as their charm, such as “my Moons” as an endearment or equivalent of saying “kismesis” or “boyfriend”.  Finding someone “charming” implies that you carry charmed feelings for them, or feel as though someone is beginning to inspire charmed feelings.
Vacillating a charm doesn’t really exist in the same way as it does for quadrants. Leprechaun romance is not exactly volatile so much as it is niche and very specific, and since charms can coexist, if feelings shift they may not break a charm and enter a new one, rather than simply create an additional charm.
Dancing is considered flirtatious and can be adjacent to foreplay, and since music can be danced to, it is given an air of suggestiveness as well, though not consistently. The culture of Midnight City gives the leprechauns a tolerance for it and widens their understanding of what music can be and how it can be enjoyed without certain implications. Mixing more than one charm makes relationships more complicated, and depending on the particular mix of charms, there may be contradictions that make little sense! This isn’t abnormal. Being in more than one charm is sometimes referred to as being “in a bracelet”, as in a charm bracelet. Charm bracelets are actually given as gifts sometimes between charm-mates as symbols of devotion or adherence to a charm, almost like a wedding ring- but leprechauns have no understanding of human-typical marriage. Having more than three charms in a bracelet with your charm-mate is considered unstable, and codependent. Plurality in relationships is considered default, and only having one charm-mate who fulfills more than three charm needs is considered too dependent and singular- although this still happens anyway, and can be done healthily with some effort. CHARMS:
Hearts: This charm is the closest to human love and matespritship. The most important part of Hearts as a charm is reciprocity. One-sidedness is considered unhealthy, and inherently Heartless. Meaningful emotional connections, comfort with one another, and intimacy of multiple kinds are standard. Somewhat invokes the idea of “soulmates”, if only for the similarity between the symbol for the Soul aspect and the symbol for the charm. Charm-breakers: one-sidedness, lack of interpersonal understanding.
Moons: This charm invokes the idea of a relationship built on a lack of consistency, as the moon goes through phases. Feelings may become stronger or weaker and change with regularity. There is a type of orbit and magnetism invoked, and the Moons charm is the one most often formed through distance, whether physical or a simple lack of engagement. Mutual absence while in a Moons charm is considered healthy and normal. This is a common charm to form a bracelet with, but without a bracelet, Moons are often intellectually close and tangle philosophically over all else. Interfacing over ideas and perspectives, and non-charm-related topics or activities such as interests and hobbies are integral. Sometimes the Moon charm is dependent on those hobbies and interests, and will wax and wane in tandem. Charm-breakers: consistent communication and contact, regular frequency of interactions, disinterest in the internal life of partner.
Stars: Starstruck can sometimes be an accurate term for those in a Stars charm. The primary emotions evoked by someone’s Stars charm-mate would be adoration and reverence, and an encompassing respect. This can be based around personality, ability or skill, appearance, etc. This charm is commonly one-sided, and can dip into worshipful infatuation and a parasocial understanding of one’s charm-mate. Notably, that dynamic is not considered a Charm-breaker, to a degree which many non-leprechauns and even leprechauns outside of the specific charm may find unhealthy or concerning. Stars charms rarely break without a hard conversation and explicit establishment of boundaries. Someone caught as the subject of a one-sided Stars charm may feel overwhelmed or undeserving of the respect they’re given, but if they begin to feel like their personal space or privacy is violated, they must set boundaries and contain or dissolve the charm, or it will become unhealthy. Charm-breakers: disrespect, intense discomfort, dangerous manipulation.
Clovers: The Clovers charm comes naturally, and charm-mates bring out the best in one another. The charm is playful, low-effort, and high impact. If a charmer needs to do a lot of work to make their Clovers happy, it’s considered a failure of the charm. It should be effortless, smooth-sailing, and involve little to no negative emotions prompted by the charm. Misunderstandings should not happen- so too much explicit communication is considered unnecessary, and borderline charm-breaking. Charm-breakers: awkwardness, dissatisfaction, interpersonal conflict, negativity. Diamonds: The Diamonds charm requires a thick skin. It’s grating, harder and meaner than any other charm, and is the closest equivalent to kismesissitude. It is meant to be a charm of catharsis, for getting emotions and energy out of one’s system in a healthy, safe environment, where everyone involved understands the risks. If someone gets cut, it’s expected, and should be negotiated. A Diamonds charm is inherently conflict-intense, and can be physically taxing, emotionally draining, and exhausting- this is the goal. Meetings between a healthy Diamonds charm should result in relief of some kind- if it doesn’t, that drifts towards an unhealthy relationship, but does not risk breaking the charm. Someone in a Diamonds charm will often involve their Balloons charm if they have one- where their Balloons charm will provide any physical comfort or attention that may be needed after meeting with a Diamonds. Charm-breakers: conflict avoidance, fatal intent, violation of boundaries, gaslighting/guilt-tripping about agreed-upon behaviors. Lack of catharsis.
Horseshoes: This charm is not the closest to moirallegience, but could be mistaken for one only in its occasional resemblance to human platonic friendship, which can then be mistaken for moirallegience. It is a wildly low stakes charm, and “polyshoes” are very common. There is typically a lack of intense physicality or complex commitments, and this charm is easily formed and easily broken depending on things as simple as a scheduling conflict, because of how low-stakes it is as a charm. The phrase “hold your horses” is invoked as a sort-of equivalent to “friendzoning”, where one is essentially told by a charm-mate that they are exclusively interested in Horseshoes, turning down an offer to expand into a bracelet. This usually implies a lack of interest in physical intimacy, or even the vaguest sense of monamory that leprechauns consider possible. Charm-breakers: jealousy, possessiveness, fixation on monamory.
Balloons: This charm is the closest equivalent to the quadrant of moirallegience that exists. It’s built primarily on emotional support and emotional intimacy, vulnerability, and an almost therapeutic dynamic. This can be one-sided and still be healthy. Respite and recuperation are often prioritized, and as a result those who are in particularly voracious Diamonds charms may seek out Balloons as a counterweight. Expressions of affection can range from encouraging someone to take care of themself- eating and showering, to giving medical aid or physical reassurance when a charm-mate has been injured, or allowing a charm-mate to vent and giving advice. This can sometimes result in codependency, or over-reliance on a Balloons charm for emotional regulation, but this does not technically break the charm. It simply must come from a place of genuine care- manipulation should be kept out of it. If those behaviors are discovered, this almost immediately pops a Balloon. Charm-breakers: gaslighting, conflict or hostility.
Rainbows: A Rainbows charm is often like lightning in a bottle. They are fleeting and circumstantial relationships, rarely meant to be filled for long periods of time, or by the same person for such a period. Starting a Rainbows charm typically shows an understanding that a relationship will not last long, or involve a serious long-term commitment. Despite that, they can be very beautiful and passionate relationships, all but enhanced by their briefness. The only way to maintain a lasting Rainbows is by changing circumstances and dynamics to create a new temporary state that facilitates a renewal of Rainbows. Charm-mates for Rainbows may be recurrent, where they break and form a Rainbows charm over and over as their special circumstances repeat, but they do not carry that charm between down-periods, somewhat unlike the Moons charm. Charm-breakers: desire for permanence, clingy-ness past the expiration of the relationship, desire for commitment. 
Pot o’ Gold: Gold as a charm is very transactional, and business-esque. It can often be very fixated on value, and what you and your partner bring to the relationship outside of the relationship itself. You value what your partner brings to the relationship- sometimes a service, sometimes assets, sometimes knowledge or skills. It can be said as a joke, but its fully possible the added value of a partner is dental. This charm is usually more serious, but to be healthy, must be reciprocal- all participants must bring something to the relationship- it cannot be one-sided. Respect, like in the Stars charm, is very important- but unlike the Stars charm, it must be mutual. Charm-breakers: Lack of respect, one-sidedness, extortion/exploitation of labor or emotions. ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
Some certain charm bracelets can have unique titles, or invoke particular phrases. If exploring a bracelet of Diamonds-Horseshoes, you will be commonly asked if youre “playing Balloon darts”, and some may be asked if theyre “into Balloon popping”- the idea that someone finds it gratifying to form and then break Balloons charms out of sadistic enjoyment. A Balloons-Gold relationship is sometimes referred to colloquially as “work-wives”, or one’s partner as their “work wife”. 
A Diamonds-Moons charm will often be called a “blood moon”- both in the likelihood of a meeting between charm-mates being particularly intense, and the rarity with which it occurs. Diamonds-Horseshoes bracelets are often associated with the term “bloodsport”, and accurately, some who partake in this bracelet engage in duels as expressions of their charm. One-sided Star-(Other Charm) bracelets are often called “star-crossed”, and can take on an interesting sense of Shakespearian Longing- This is seen in Matchsticks and Crowbar, with Matchsticks’s one-sided Stars charm accompanying their mutual Moons.
Eggs and Biscuits are seen as codependent and risking breaking their bracelet by the other leprechauns- as they have a Balloons-Horseshoes-Clovers-Hearts bracelet, which is one too many charms. Luckily, they get along so well and spend so much time together that the have so far made it work.
Trace, Fin, and Itchy all carry Stars for Sleuth- particularly because they are especially vulnerable to Sleuth’s non-stop and habitual posturing as hard-boiled and badass, which all three of them have a hard time seeing through. Sleuth does not notice this.
I’m always willing to answer questions about this stuff! Pop in an ask for any kind of elaboration on bracelets, or curiosities!

MiqoMarch Day 26 - Faith
Though she is constantly reminded of her status being blessed by the goddess- Hydaelyn's chosen, as they called it - Arsay maintained a reluctance to allow her fate to be subject to the will of any higher being. Instead it is her friends, her family, whom Arsay puts her absolute faith in. Their bond is the greater gift by far.

Doctor Who | Kill the Moon
In mid-21st century, humankind starts creeping off into the stars. Spreads its way through the galaxy to the very edges of the universe, and it endured until the end of time. And it does all that because one day, in the year 2049, when it stopped thinking about going to the stars, something occurred that made it look up, not down. It looked out there into the blackness and it saw something beautiful, something wonderful, that for once, it didn't want to destroy. And in that one moment, the whole course of history was changed. Not bad for a girl from Coal Hill School and her teacher.

Are there any crackships/rarepairs you really like?
I'm going to answer this one with rarepairs which I call different than crackships bc rarepairs make more sense but just aren't common, historically I've answered this notably with pi09 and 0207 and I stand by those but I'm going to expand to others
AD13 and AD12 are fun to me in a specific context: Biscuits likes Ace, and has some light Clovers feelings for him, and Eggs consequently carries Diamonds for Ace out of jealousy. Ace is very emotionally. Brickish. Belligerent. Oblivious. And he doesn't pick up on this well, but finds Biscuits more tolerable than Eggs (because Eggs has the egg timer and the egg timer is really annoying), so he's more amenable to hanging out with Biscuits, which makes Eggs jealous. This jealousy is a bit unfounded and silly because Eggs and Biscuits have an untenable amount of charms together that's usually considered unhealthy- ie: more than three- and are definitely not breaking up over Ace. It ends up very soap opera-esque and dramatic while Ace kind of stands there looking confused
Trace and Broad is also an interesting one. They have Horseshoes feelings- Trace finds her pretty good company and skilled at table stickball- y'know. for a bird. I can see them even reaching Horseshoes with benefits, but he finds her elegant and witty and she finds him somewhat charming and accidentally quite earnest and eager to impress.
Final one is Stitch and snowman, who have a Pot o' Gold and some light one sided Stars from Stitch's end. He makes her all the clothes she asks and in exchange he gets the chance to make them and spend time in her presence. He appreciates the opportunity to work off of a figure and fashion like hers, compared to his usual uniforms and nothing else. He finds her admirable and is happy to exist in silence with her, which she appreciates in his professionalism. He is very aware that she is likely far too much woman for him to handle and considers her out of his league in any other charm. (Note: he also has this charm with Droog, whom he does all tailoring for free of charge and only slightly under duress)

Wait was the jugdral stuff in the same world as awakening???
Technically yes! There's actually a fair bit of overlap between the first few games in the series, to the point where Archanea, Jugdral, and Valentia are canonically part of the same world. The biggest link between them is actually Naga herself: she's a key figure in the lore of Archanea and Valentia as the source of the Falchion blades, and in Jugdral she joined with eleven other dragons to offer a blood pact and a holy weapon to mankind in order to oppose the Loptyrian Empire. So knowing that they're all in the same world, and Awakening directly ties itself to Shadow Dragon with the provenance of Falchion as Marth's blade and the presence of Tiki as a recruitable character, Awakening effectively takes place ~3,000 years after the events of Genealogy.
