Me showing DSAF to an acquaintance who has only heard of it like: "You will get depression due to this later. Anyway this is my primordial pet freak, he has killed hundreds of people and will kill again and I think he should be locked in a controlled environment forever. Oh no not for his crimes. It's because I want to study him like a bug forever. Perhaps break his bones one by one... Anyway when I draw him drawing is actually fun and doesn't feel like a stressful performance."
#its so funny i just cant be normal. normal people have like#normal characters that they consider characters that bring them joy. i always pull out the most rancid fucker and go#'this is my emotional support piece of shit and when i draw him i rediscover what hobbies are'#(because i actually do not have hobbies in the traditional sense)#(as in activities like drawing or writing are actually not fun for me at all#i do them because im fairly good at them and because it's a habit; like doing your homework. but i hate them. it's a stressful thing#and it brings me more tears than fun. i like to produce products i like being productive but i hate the process and i hate#how i can make a mistake and i feel judged the whole time. i feel like that during playing instruments and during sewing amd#i felt that way during horse riding and i feel that way no matter what i do. constantly judged and evaluated and like#my performance has to be flawless and every tiny mistake justified. like my life is a constant process of justifying my actions in#front of a court and a judge and a jury.)#(but when i draw some specific characters I don't feel that way. i feel like this weird feeling that i think might be joy? i don't feel#stressed out at all and seem to forget that i am being evaluated#i forget that i have to constantly earn my life. j don't stop every few lines to get a breather to calm myself down and assure myself#that i can do this flawlessly. i just...draw and if it's less than perfect i just correct the mistakes. but I don't feel pressured or judged#i find myself smiling and it's weird. because i never feel like smiling when im drawing or writing or anything.)

perhaps the habit of burning bridges you’re actively crossing isn’t a good idea. and you’re not an idiot, not in the slightest— but even if you were, everyone knows that needless self destruction when developing relationships is counterproductive.
you strike the match anyways, like it’s just a force of habit. another instinct.
if you spent life knowing that the hand only beats. why would you expect it to do anything else when it’s lowered towards you?
you learn to keep your hopes down, ears alert, and teeth sharp. you learn to get used to the taste of blood. to make things messy and complicated, and to end things when they need to be ended, because god knows it’s only self preservation when you do it.
you learn that the only way to survive is to bite— to hurt before something hurts you.
and one day, an unfamiliar hand that extends towards you decides to feed instead.
why do you still bare your teeth?
Tumblr media
▸ BRUCE is unsure why he sticks around. he’s understanding, but also reasonably frustrated with your antics. it doesn’t evade him that they stem from something deeply rooted in your past— but he doesn’t know what to do about it. if there is anything to do.
at his core, he's a detective. he's got an eye for digging into strange pasts and a knack for knowing things he isn't supposed to. but in spite of his paranoia and hunger to know, bruce doesn't pry too much. he can do research on his own, without you ever having to realize.
you’re self-sufficient, he’ll give you that. you’re unsure sometimes of whether he’s proud that you can take care of yourself or irritated that you consistently insist on doing so. he’s unsure too. not like he lets you know.
it’s a mutual understanding the two of you share— he stays, you bite. yet bruce, unsurprisingly, doesn’t mind being bitten. he’d hope that the reason he’s sticking around is for the selfless reason of making sure you’re alright. though, the reality is, you’ve grown on him, whether you realize or not.
bruce has always been fond of strays.
Tumblr media
▸ CLARK is nothing but patient. and that scares you beyond reason.
he sees the way you bare your teeth whenever someone gets too close for comfort to you. he knows when to back away, when to speak, when not to— he’s always attempting to never make you feel backed into a corner.
somehow, it makes you more anxious seeing just how much he understands about you. he knows just how to coax you out of the corner of your cage, how to bring you in closer, and it almost, almost convinces you to let your guard down.
the thought of that is terrifying.
you try barking, you try biting— and none of it works. clark doesn’t coddle you when you’re wrong— but he’s absolutely nothing but gentle. patient and understanding, sometimes you wonder how a man of steel can be so soft for someone like you.
Tumblr media
▸ DICK isn’t dumb. it’s fairly easy for him to put two and two together. quickly, he figures out what he’s dealing with when he encounters you.
his conversations with you are never without a note of levity— a deliberate action on his end, you’re certain. he knows, you know, and because of it, everything feels oddly tense around him, even with the attempts to banter.
it’s too late to run. his observant gaze has caught a glimpse of you through your one way glass, and he’s chosen to meet your eyes with a smile. there's a sense of foreboding that gnaws at your gut, anxiously anticipating what might be lurking under that grin of his.
on his end, there are no malicious intentions. he doesn’t really have ulterior motives when it comes to you.
most times, he chooses to defend you and be the one standing at your side when no one else does. you don't understand why he insists on offering you friendship when all you do is pull away.
after a long night of patrolling the streets of gotham, you find the two of you leaning on the railing of a rooftop side by side. your eyes are on this cityscape of gotham. his are on you.
“you keep on insisting i’m not as bad as i seem,” you mutter under your breath.
late nights make for loose lips. he’s pleasantly surprised to hear you continue the thought instead of attempting to take it back.
“do you just hate being right?” you snort, allowing your gaze to flit over to him just for a second.
"no." dick smiles, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly. ��i think you just hate the fact that i could be.”
Tumblr media
▸ you tried not to bother with CONSTANTINE. the day the two of you met, you didn’t even introduce yourself.
john constantine’s presence alone reeks of trouble, as acrid and suffocating as the cigarette smoke that clings to his tan trenchcoat. you are attuned to things like that. he notices.
one thing you actually enjoy about him? he doesn’t chase. he’s a nosy one, for certain, sticking his nose into places no one in their right mind would— but for the most part, he steers clear of yours. initially, you think it’s because your urge to be left alone by him is so prevalent that he’s just chosen to heed the warning and not approach when unwanted.
but he’s not a man known for abiding by rules. he’s much more curious with you than you notice or prefer. in a way, your distance has made you more myth than man, more tale than tangible— you are a rumor passed through whispers between lips, a silent shadow lurking in the corner of the room… and he loves a good mystery.
“c’mon. you're actin’ like ‘m gonna bite your head off, luv,” he chuckles, lighting up the cigarette between his fingers.
i'd probably be the one doing that if i got any closer. you keep that thought in your head, standing with a gap between the two of you as always.
he doesn't miss how you avoid looking into his eyes like his gaze could murder, instead, focusing your gaze on the cherry of the cig, burning bright red.
“not much for a wee natter, hm?”
the quick shake of your head only makes his smirk grow. you could just walk away… so why exactly were you sticking around?
“fine by me. quiet company’s welcome.” that’s a sentence he’d probably never say to anyone else. in a strange way, he feels like he knows you well enough to be comfortable with the words that hang in the air.
it’s weird. you’re completely unknown, and yet, an irrational part of his mind keeps nagging at him to look just a little closer at you. sometimes, when he listens to it, he catches a glimpse of something silent in your eyes— an all too familiar pain of a person who can’t help but hurt the things that they cling onto.
so that’s why you’re keen on keeping everyone at arms length. it almost makes him laugh to think how similar the two of you are, plain as day, and yet unnoticed by you— a person who won’t even meet his eyes.

Matchup exchange with @isadollie !
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i actually had a hard time deciding between him and iwaizumi hajime but I went with Akaashi Keiji based off of some other things you told me! :)
Slow burn !!! He would take some time to warm up to you when you guys first meet
And I feel like he wouldn’t actually realize his romantic feelings until after a while, but once he notices he can’t help but feel shy around you
Very observant. Once he knows you, he picks up on a lot of your quirks/habits
Like if he notices your social battery starting to run out when you guys are with others, he makes a note to end the conversation fairly quickly.
Definitely the type of person you can just sit in silence with and it won’t be awkward.
He actually loves every meme and reel you send him and appreciates the fact that you text first (since I feel like he wouldn’t text first unless you guys are close)
He takes your feelings very seriously and if anyone ever says something out of line to you he would definitely call them out
He knows you forgive people easily so I feel like he’s always there to remind you to be cautious of said people. And if you aren’t he is.
Just always there for you in general
If you guys are having a conversation with other people and you get ignored or talked over he’s the type to ask you to repeat yourself or tell the others to be quiet so he could hear what you wanted to say
He enjoys when you yap to him because if he’s overthinking it’ll distract him and keep him grounded
He’s usually the one memorizing little details about people so when you actually do the same for him it catches him off guard (in a good way ofc)
I feel like he unintentionally says things that get you flustered and when you tease him back he gets all shy
Like he’s the type to say his favourite color is green just because that’s the color of your eyes
And if he sees you doubting yourself he knows just what to say, its so natural for him
The relationship is just so wholesome
He’s also a fan of literature so if you ever recommend a book you bet he’s going to read it.
Even though he’s more on the quiet side, he makes it evident how much he cares for you through small actions
He appreciates everything you’ve ever gifted him !!
He noticed that you check multiple times to see if you locked your door so he made it a habit to leave after you so he can make sure the door is locked in case you ever did forget
Caries extra of those small hand sanitizers for you
I feel like it’s hard to make him laugh but because it’s you he always chuckles (or at least smiles) at your jokes, even the unfunny ones
Will get protective if someone crosses your boundaries
Tumblr media
IM SORRY IT TOOK LONGER THAN EXPECTED😓 I hope you like it !! 🫶🏻

it'sssssssss tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
Barbie Doll and Diablo
(as my friend likes to call them lol)
it took me a good few days of day dreming about barbs and scrolling through the barbatos tags (and the simeon and solomon tags) to acctually get the motivation for this soooooo here it issss
Part 1 - The Brothers Part 2 - The Angels + Solomon Part 3 - Diavolo + Barbatos
WEE WOO WEE WOO Content Warningggggsss: Darbatos and Diavolo are implied to be dating mc but it CAN be taken as platonic, GN!mc, maybe like a teensy tiny bit suggestive idk i do these before i write the hcs, could be ooc (i've never written for either of them, i dont think so atleast), mention of mamms and asmo but only tiny after thought type stuff i think
the energy is pumpinggggggg and the headcannon drabble things are a flowin'
Barbatos
w/ out mc - does not sleep, will only sleep if diavolo orders him to and if any of you have seen my take on the brothers sleeping he is the same as luci, but instead of the brothers having to be kept in line its the demon prince who does his best to sneak out when he thinks the butlers guard has been lowered enough to do so, other than that i do belive barbatos if tired enough will fall asleep standing continuing to do what ever job he was doing around the castle occsionally finishing all of his tasks whilst alseep (dia and the little d's take bets to see how far through his list barbatos can go before waking up again so far little d no. 2 and diavolo have the most wins) i also think barbatos will sleep walk into diavolos office on ocassion and just stand there like he would if diavolo was having a meeting with lucifer or mephi (i dont know how to spell his name someone help please) also no fan or ac or anything in his room im fairly sure his tail has / would have some form of protective slime kind stuff on it and that drying out would require a few weeks worth (and a couple thousands invested) of lotion applied every few like hours (it'd be like lipbalm or gloss on crusty dry craked up lips)
w/ mc - now with mc and diavolo trying to get him to sleep more often its a much bigger challenge for barbatos to deny going to sleep therefore he goes to sleep more often, with mc around the little d's and diavolo can't make as many bets on barbs work sleep habits so the bets have changed to how long will it take for mc to notice that barbs fell asleep again / how many chores can barbs get through before mc guides him back to his room and takes over barbs creepy standing in dia's office has stopped and been replced with a slight restlessness in his sleep (beware mc for he may kick), and mc better beware of the tail it's 100% getting wrapped around them as they sleep it will be cold it will be slimy it will be slightly gross and it will soak any and all sleep clothes (can't tell me barbs doesn't find enjoyment in feeling how mc jumps as they wake up suddenly due to how cold and wet his tail is 'whats wrong little lamb? did i accidently wake you during your slumber') still no fan or anything by the way not unless you want to be the one applying lotion to his tail every hour (bonus sleepy cuddly barbs like early sunday morning look like shiz and gotta get up but partner is still sleep and gooooodddd they look cute sleeping and don't wanna disturb the peace and then the overgrown toddler with daddy issues barges in asking for breakfast because he was a second late to waking him up saying theres pancakes if he does all his paperwork in which barbs does not remember saying at all (it was all a dream that dia thought was real) and waking mc up, gosh dang it now i gots ideas for another fic from these things)
Diavolo
w/ out mc - another sea creature guess what it isssss, thats right! its a starfishhhhhh, mans has a massive bed cant tell me he doesn't starfish accross it wings out and everything, thinking of wings.... wings can be blankie, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand like beel he. is. a. heater. no need for blankets when have wings and are heater, he snores and sleep talks majority of his sleep talking is telling dream barbs that dream him wasn't trying to escape his duties or saying those really creepy things that alot of people who sleep talk say in their sleep something like idk 'doont go in the closet' and it'd be like right as mammons trying to find secret treasure in the castle and somehow ended up in dias room and is about to open the closet
w/ mc - still sprawled out but don't worry mc he left space for you (in his arms) still a heater be prepared to wear your summer sleep clothes in the middle of winter (or sleep au natural like asmo probably does) he still snores and sleep talks pretty much the same as before also refuses to get up in the morning (mans went to bed late let him sleep in and get his sleepy morning cuddles before barbs comes in and says theres pancakes if he does all his paperwork before 9am the drem stirkes again 'but barbatos i got all my paperwork done before nine and pancakes sound good and the dream felt way too real for it to be just a dream, come on love you had to of heard barbatos say something about breakfast being pancakes today surely' dont break his heart help him gaslight barabtos instead/hj)
That ws fuunnnnnnnnnnn
btw quick little tiny baby question would people perhaps be interested in perhaps me writing a little bit more for barbs and/or simeon maybeeeeeee (the inspiration hit and oh mah lordy loorrrrrd it is difficlt to not want to write more about themm) (btw dont really care how many of you answer yes or no im probably gonna do it anyways)
alsoooo i will gladly accept requests for more headcannon drabbley things for other stiuations if anyone has any ideas, (i don't really do full on fics btw)
other than that i hope you all have a great day, afternoon, night, morning, tea, door, pencil and thank you for reading (i hope it was as fun to read as it was to write) MasterList thingy-o

HEY HI HELLO!!
May I request a fic (or headcanons if you want^^) with Ranpo and s/o that is sometimes taking his sweets or even stealing 'em? (To eat it ofcc) I thought that his reaction might be kinda funny because cmonn we all know Ranpo🥲
Anyways how are youuu, doing good?
(I think its my shortest ever request I have written for you woahh)
sweet tooth
Tumblr media
synopsis - you both had quite the sweet tooth, maybe you couldn't help but steal a few sweets from him
includes - ranpo
warnings - gn!reader, fluff, slight crack, more fluff, wc - 1.1k
a/n: HIII! im doing well! hope you're doing well as well? hmm pretty sure this is the shortes but it's still an absolutely amazing idea
Tumblr media
ranpo knew you had a sweet tooth like him, afterall it was one of your qualities he admired. initially, he always noted on the sweets you would often bring into the office or buy when out and about with him. as that way he could buy them as gifts for you when you started feeling down or unwell.
and it went both ways. the both of you could recite the others favourite sweets for each mood perfectly. so it was safe to say most of the time both sweet stocks never were empty - including the pile of sweets that were dedicated to sharing because that way it discouraged stealing from each other.
but sometimes exceptions happen. and one of those exceptions could involve you underestimating how much you had leftover in your pile. so it did come as a shock when you realised you had none left and ranpo could practically feel your dejection from his side of the agency.
he wasn't that bothered at skipping work for a quick snack run so he offered to run down to the local store and buy some to tide you over intil the end of the day - plus he could get some for him. and so you let him.
but for some reason it felt like he was taking longer than usual and your sweet tooth was all you could focus on. and as you glanced over at your lover empty desk all you could wonder was, he wouldn't mind right? surely he could sympathise with your situation and you were sure he'd do the same.
ranpo returned fairly quickly afterwards and immediately made his way to your desk. he set down a rather impressive bag filled with all your favourites and you thanked him and gave him a quick peck to his cheek before he retreated to his own desk with an equally impressive bag of goodies.
but ever since he sat down he couldn't helo but feel something was off, like something had happened while he was gone but quickly dismissed it as he thought that whatever it was most likely was insignificant and wouldn't be a major issue.
and days soon began passing as normal. everyday was practically the same routine with a few changes each time but nothing too taxing. but ranpo had developed a sort of itch in the back of his mind, something that started bothering him. and that was due to the fact that most tiimes he left his desk, he felt as if something went missing or something disappeared from his locker.
his conclusion came to something to do with you, but he didn't think it was and you always said you had no clue. but really you were feigning innocence. ever since you took one sweet from ranpo, you had started building a habit of nabbing one or two everytime you walked past his locker or desk that wasn't occupied.
you really meant nothing by it, it's just that your sweet tooth demanded you satisfy it. and if you were being honest you really thought he would've caught you by now so a part of it was wondering how far could you go before he caught you. and unsurprisingly it didn't take much longer.
ranpo had now knew that someone was taking his sweets and he really didn't have to think hard to pin it down to one person. you were the only one who had a sweet tooth that rivaled his and you knew the combination to his secret stash. but he felt so betrayed and he thought a suiting comeback would be to catch you in the act, rather than just mentioning it.
and so he plotted his attack. he started by waltzing toward your desk and acting as he normally did. dramatically expressing his boredom and whining about the amount of paperwork he had stacked on his desk while you continued yours but still paying full attention to his words. he eventually stopped slumping on your desk and got up telling you he was going to cure his boredom.
you waited a while, to make sure he was truly gone before you even looked in the direction of his desk. you could only sigh to yourself and think of what a distrustful habit you had picked up. but even that couldn't stop you from getting up and going along with your habits. but what you didn't know was that ranpo was ready and waiting by the door.
he was going to catch you this time. he waited until you reached his desk and began looking before he jumped out. he attracted the attention of many agency members and nearly gave you a heart attack. you knew you were going to never hear the end of this.
he marched over to you and whined about how betrayed he was, how deeply distraught he had become eith this information. you apologized profusely, saying it was only meant to be a one off but you just couldn't help yourself. but he only huffed at your answer and pushed you back to your desk.
you could only sigh yourself as you sat down and watched him sit at his desk, before looking back at you and sticking his tongue out. you then proceeded to grab something under your desk before walking back over to his desk and hiding it behind your back.
but as you reached his desk he swung round in his chair to face the other way. now you had to hold back your laughter. so instead you sighed pulling out the item behind your back and saying how you were going to hand him it as an apology but now you might keep it for yourself.
this caught ranpo's attention back and he glanced out the corner of his eye. turns out during your break you had went down to a favourite balery of his and brought their new limited item to hand him after work. but now you were using it as a barganing chip.
he swing all the way back around and tried snatching it off you but you pulled it away and told him the only way he could get it was to accept your apology.
he really couldn't be mad at you for long, especially with such an apology gift waiting for him. so he accepted it and received the second part of his reward. he thanked you and started scolding you saying next time he wont forgive you. you justt laughed and said you'd keep that in mind but the both of you knew the other would forgive for something like this.

Hay...... Do you think you could do tadc characters with a reader who has super bad depth perception (due to an eye injury) and as a result often ends up walking into things because they didn't realise it was right in front of them?? :3 (aka me)
TADC cast x reader who has very bad depth perception!
fuck it we balling!! (admin is now on a small time crunch, theyre not going to explode if they fail to finish this before they timer is up, but they are weird about time stuff) rolls around ehehehhehe i hope you enjoy!! i must admit, admin was a little stumped on this so this might be a little..... meh </3
Tumblr media
CAINE:
i think he blows it out way out of proportion... though im not sure thats the right word... i mean, if you manage to get close to caine (which is quite a feat considering before he didnt really. build genuine connections with circus members as well as being busy with... whatever it is he does...) he doesnt quite.. understand... so i think he insists on being your eyes, utilizing his... thousands of all seeing eyes. he can get overbearing at times so youre going to need to set the record straight and explain things to him... hes a little confused but hes got the spirit.... takes you to his room whenever things get hard (migraine, nausea, ect ect ect) and pampers you... so.. maybe him taking things too far/seriously isnt that bad...
POMNI:
has probably tossed you something before remembering your depth perception... the regret on her face is immediate, spreading over it before you even have the chance to react to whats going on... quick and long stream of apologies as she picks up the thing; it wasnt even likely anything important or fragile
eventually builds the habit to not toss things to people when they ask for something.. offers to read things out for you if you have trouble with it, as well as guiding you to dark places if you have trouble with migraines as well (while admin doesnt have depth perception he does have something funky with his eyes that make them sometimes roll and cross and it suuuucks)
RAGATHA:
oh she is so so so empathetic with you. as mentioned above in pomnis part, if youre prone to nausea or migraines, shes going to do all that she can to help you... usually lets you lay in her bed to collect yourself... helps you judge the distance things are, especially if its in a chaotic situation such as an in house adventure. if you open up to her about the reason behind your bad vision, her heart is going to hurt for you. if you need comfort, she will provide it; if you just need some ears, she will provide. generally very good about accommodating you
JAX:
has probably asked why your eyes look off, assuming they cross or otherwise arent "standard". doesnt really say it to be rude, well.. actually no this is jax hes likely just scoping to see what the deal is, though its more of a curiosity thing. gives a soft "oh" when you briefly explain why. honestly i think he has a habit of tossing things to people when they ask him for something, and i think this would carry over to you.... does sometimes feel bad, but hey! hes not trying to be mean (kinda...)
does not stoop low enough to use your poor depth perception to his advantage for pranks, though. hes an asshole but i dont think he would be that evil tbh...
KINGER:
honestly? same. like i dont think that he has bad eyes thanks to an injury, no rather i think its just because hes OLD!!! so theres times where you guys fail to be each others eyes. you have terrible depth perception, he is shortsighted... uh oh... good news is that hes always keeping an eye on you (no shitty pun intended) due to him constantly worrying about you, so the chance of you somehow being in the way of danger is fairly low.... probably.... if you tend to attract it, though, or are on the clumsier side, rest assured that hes keeping you in the pillow fort!/lh
ZOOBLE:
probably doesnt even notice it at first until you bring it up in passing, and honestly i dont think their view on you would change. sure they would try to be more accommodating for you since theyre not totally apathetic, especially since youre a friend and/or partner... but theyre not too... emotional, so unlike ragatha they wouldnt outwardly give you an excessive amount of.... pity? care? im struggling to find the right word, im afraid... will let you vent about it, though, if the issues that come with it cause any stress.. otherwise doesnt bring it up too much unless you bring it up, both because they dont think its too much of a big deal as well as not wanting to pry
GANGLE:
very sad very empathetic if you ever open up to her about the events leading up to your injury (assuming you remember/it was something that happened in the real world that carried into the digital world), and perhaps sheds a tear for you. helps you read and write things if you struggle with it, as well as even wrapping her ribbon around your eyes should any random bouts of nausea roll in. generally very sweet about it but is very careful about not stepping over any lines, tends to ask before doing something (especially with the blindfolding/nausea thing)

just came across one of your posts about being a worshipper with ADHD, and I'm the same. I've been in and out of my practice and faith for the past four years, mostly due to life situations but partially due to my ADHD (and additionally as I was raised atheist and have no point of reference for any religiousness haha). Do you have any tips for someone trying to remain consistent with their worship? <33 hope college is treating you kindly
Omg! First of all, thank you so much for the ask! College is treating me fairly well, and much better than it did last year-
I relate to this ask a lot oh my. The being raised atheist part is also SO true. Being raised athiest affects so much of my worship I think.
This is just what works for me and it may not work for you, so please trust me when I say that if this list doesn’t work, it doesn’t mean nothing will. I know sometimes when resources don’t work it can feel very disheartening but I promise something will.
So for me, having all my prayers and info I want to remember about my deities written down in a google doc has been really helpful, because my memory is VERY unreliable. You can keep this as a physical thing instead of digital but I have google docs on my phone, so it’s always with me. I have a lot written on there - epithets, prayers, lists of potential offerings, myths I want to remember, etc. this isn’t even strictly an ADHD thing, im sure many people do this and it might be obvious to some but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Next, try making worship into part of your routine. This makes it so much easier to be consistent in it! I don’t mean saying good morning/goodnight to deities (that’s awesome and so valid, but I can NEVER make it a habit, then I feel bad after not having done it for a while). Personally, I devote showers to Aphrodite because of her association with water and the fact that it’s a self care thing. Whenever I remember, I offer food to my deities if I’m eating something I associate with them. I listen to music on my way to college, so if I’m listening to a song I associate with them, I’ll think about them while listening to it. Since I’m a student, I offer a lot of my college stuff to Athena (flash cards, annotated books, etc) and invite Her to study with me. Things like that are a lot easier to remember to do than trying to remember to take specific time out of the day for worship if that makes sense?
So far this blog is also helping me stay consistent! Talking about my deities so much on here, and finding stuff to reblog, means I’m thinking about them a lot more than I would otherwise.
I haven’t done this yet myself but I thought of it while writing this out. Maybe centre aspects of worship around any current hyperfixations you have? If there’s a show you really like, invite them to watch it with you. If you’re getting into a new hobby, maybe it comes under a domain of a deity you worship, and even if not you could still dedicate it to them (like making crafts and offering them to Athena or Hephaestus for example? If it’s a sport, dedicate it to Ares. Etc)
This last one, I can’t stress this enough, and it’s something I forget too - be kind to yourself. We aren’t perfect. We are going to forget. We aren’t always going to be consistent. I truly think our deities understand and expect this of us, and that as long as we aren’t outright disrespectful they won’t hold it against us if we aren’t always able to fully devote ourselves to them, y’know? We’re people. We have busy lives. Our brains don’t work that well sometimes. But we love and respect our deities so much and they definitely see that!
If there’s typos in this I’m so sorry, I hope it makes sense

I'm honestly not sure if I've mentioned this on here before, but here we go.
I've been looking into getting a service dog for a few years. What breed would be best for the tasks I need, if I should get a program trained dog or if I should owner train, what it costs to get said service dog and anything they need or would like, how to take care of a dog, what are the laws around service dog prospects and housing, what are the laws for service dogs, etc. etc.
Up until now, it's all been more of a thought experiment than anything else because my father established a "No Dogs Under My Roof" policy a long time ago, and despite a service dog being medical equipment, the answer to if I could get one is a hard "Not Under My Roof"
But! We're finally down to the last year or two of community college before I transfer to a 4 year where I'll be living on my own and can thus get a dog. So I'll be looking into breeders to see what their wait lists are like and check to make sure the breeder I decide to go with is actually an ethical breeder.
I've debated on breeds for a while. Poodles are hypoallergenic but require a lot of hair maintenance and will matte up fairly quickly if I forget to brush them due to a flare-up, so they're a no. Doberman seemed like a good fit as they met most of my requirements. However, I was informed that they're a velcro breed that are very protective, which makes sense since they are breed to be guard dogs, but that doesn't work if i need a strangers help. Goldens and labs are quite similar in most things regarding my list of requirements but didn't end up being my final choice.
I've decided to go with German Shepherds for the breed, as I need mobility, medical alert, and psychiatric tasks. That's quite a bit for one dog, but German Shepherds are breed specifically to be working dogs with varying jobs, so while I'll need to be careful with training to keep them from burning out as a puppy, they're my best bet.
I've decided on owner training supplemented with a professional trainer's support/assistance.
The mobility tasks in question aren't weight bareing, and even if they were, I'm aware that type of training doesn't start before the vet okays it around 2 or so years old. Sometimes, my vision stops working, or I'll get horribe brain fog making me very confused, and I can't bend down to pick things up off the floor unless I'm sitting, so think along those lines for mobility tasks.
The medical alert is for POTS and maybe migraines. I'm not sure how migraine alerts work yet, i still need to look into that one, but I know how to do the POTS ones.
The psychiatric tasks are to tell me if I'm displaying anxious habits cause I don't notice them and can't feel when I am due to a disconnect in my brain from physical reaction and emotional reaction. I react physically but can't emotionally, which means i can have the bodily reaction of a panic attack and all the issues that creates but I think im perfectly fine. Which is oh so fun to deal with (can you hear the sarcasm?) Plus a few other things I don't feel like sharing that I need help with.
If anyone has anything helpful to add, please do. I've looked into things, but research can only get you so far

Tumblr media
Long overdue, but here's finally Vash's permanent starter call.
Liking this post means you're letting me know it's okay to hop into your inbox with either memes or whatever random ideas might pop into my head-- and vice versa! It also means that you'd be up for either receiving semi-spontaneous starters or just throwing them like so many rocks in my general direction, whether they be event related or not.
It's also an invitation to create pre-existing relationships with Vash, given some discussion, in the event you want to skip directly past the initial meeting thread.
Finally, it means that even if I post a starter call with a cap, I might ignore the cap for you if we've already worked through some relationship dynamics, hehe.
A list of what I'd be interested in is below the cut! Feel free to either IM me over tumblr or find me on the isola d/iscord as well if any ideas jump out at you!
★ Friends! Most people end up here by default, especially if you've known him for longer than five minutes. He considers a great many people friends, even if they're not close. Vash could make friends with a literal rock if you gave him more than a couple of minutes. But in reality, Vash is the sort of person who either turns others off immediately, or he grows on them like a vine-- whether they particularly want him to initially or not. He has a tendency of worming himself into other people's lives with how much care and love he has to give. He's always willing to lend a helping hand or give advice where he's able. However, he also has a tendency to keep others at arm's length while simply giving them the illusion that they're becoming just as close to him. While he cares so deeply about others, he still has a lot of trouble letting most people get any closer than surface-level with himself. There are very few people who have seen him deeper than he's wanted to allow, and even fewer among those on the island.
★ Frenemies! Despite Vash making a fair few enemies over the course of Trigun, he's also got quite a few antagonists that end up giving him some grudging respect even if they don't agree with his point of view on life. He's got a bad habit of accidentally 'befriending' people who he very much shouldn't-- and by befriending, usually it means he's managed to get himself tangled up in their schemes and has to get himself un-pretzeled. It's just that most of the time this ends up keeping said frenemy alive as well-- or sometimes also accidentally breaking them out of prison. Who's to say. A lot of antagonists end up in this category specifically because of his usual tendencies, even if he remains fairly warry of them. His self-preservation may be in the dumpster, but it's not entirely zero.
★ Enemies! Sorry, you've gone past the point of Vash's high propensity for shenanigans. You've directly threatened someone he loves in ways that he can't easily forgive-- and this is saying a lot, considering he forgave his genocidal twin. He'll still have the belief that you're worth saving, that you are capable of good and change, but he won't sit idly by if those he cares about are threatened, nor will he do so if you treat human life as disposable or lesser-than ( and go on to act upon it ). He is a pacifist though, so more than likely he won't be the first to jump to violence unless it's absolutely called for. Even then, he's committed to being non-lethal; and has significant trauma around when he had been lethal, if you'd like to toy with him about it. There's a chance he'll push himself past the brink of his capabilities, if you find the right buttons to press. One of my favorite categories, because throwing him against the wall like a wet piece of spaghetti repeatedly is one of my favorite hobbies.
★ Interactions with child characters! Vash loves kids, and has a great time horsing around with them, playing games, etc. He's very protective of children while also being just as playful as them if given the chance. He's been treated as a walking-talking-screaming jungle gym on many an occasion, and will often go out of his way to make sure that kids are safe and happy and having a good time. He's already an over-dramatic clown, but with kids it gets even worse just to crack a laugh and a smile out of them.
★ Interactions with humanoid-non-human characters! Some of my favorite threads that I've ever done have been exploring the differences in life; Vash has spent his entire life feeling othered, in some form or fashion, no matter how much he loves humans. He knows he's different, and for a long time considered himself a monster because of it-- and still does, sometimes. At the same time, he's also felt disconnected from others of his kind; before the end of the series, he and Knives were the only independent Plants on their planet, and his destructive powers vary greatly from the creative ones of his immobile sisters. Connections with others that aren't human, that have something else about them, are really interesting for him to explore.
★ Discussions on religion/belief! Challenge him. He doesn't believe in God, not really, and his ideals rub most the wrong way. Despite his bending into grey areas at the end of the series, he's still a pacifist and doesn't believe in the taking of life. Despite his goofy personality and the way he tends to phrase things, he's got a lot of philosophical thoughts-- no matter if they're hesitant to budge or not. A lot of enemies/antagonists tend to get spawned this way, honestly.
★ Annoy the shit out of him. A la Spamton and Zelos. For funsies. Why not.

Im feeling domestic about Logan tonight like im absolutely feral about him smutty but I also just need to see that cute domestic side of Logan.
He is the definition of masculine alright but what his girl wants she gets. So if she wants them to wear matching PJs, theyll wear matching PJs (while he tells Scott to f off bc Scott noticed and teased him)
Sunday nights are dedicated to skincare routines, and if you come knocking on the bedroom door you may find a Wolverine with his hair pushed back with a pink headband, and face covered with a charcoal mask. Does it makee him feel a bit too girly, sure, but he certainly enjoys having you pamper him so he allows it. Only cause it makes you smile that hes doing it with you.
If you want something to eat or drink, dont say it out loud around him (or do lol) becaude he will immediately w/o get up to get something for you even with your protests for him to sit back down
Hand holding while they window shop and you stop at practically every shop cooing about how cute that dress is, or how pretty the vintage trinket is, or how good those cupcakes look- his natural resting face makes him look like hes annoyed or bored, when really he just adores seeing you so happy, and making mental notes at things you like so he can come back and get them later as a surprise.
Making everyone dinner together, slow dancing alone in their rooms/office, he doesnt really like technology or phones, but he'll send you videos of things he thinks youll like or find funny, he knows all your little habits, and quirks, and absolutely adores them.
Its offputting to everyone else at first bc he is so cold and seperates himself from everyone in the beginning but once you two are together, seeing him take the role more seriously as a boyfriend/partner (and future hubby???) than he does as an X-man is DEFINITELY a wonder to see.
Also, fairly sure that he knows pretty quickly hes gonna marry you. Just allow it some tine for you to figure it out as well. He already got the ring picked out, and thinks about having a nice little farmhouse or cabin nearby the mansion for the two of you to live in after youre married. Logan gets embarrassed talking about that stuff because for the longest time he didnt think he deserved it, and would ever have it. But once he got you, its all he thinks about.
This came out longer than I thought but I JUST HAD to get these musings out
logan howlett is husband material and i will fight anyone who says otherwise. (i believe that old man logan is even better hubby material cause look how he treats charles). i need to actually drown in this please and thank you.

~Zeno Headcanons~
A/N: headcanons for my lovely wife, @larz-barz! I will probably add to these every now and then, I’ll reblog it when I do!
Tumblr media
It is no secret that Zeno is tall
Like, man is a giant
A whole 6’1”(or 6’2”, I can’t remember-)
Point I’m trying to make is, he likes to carry people around
Like, even if the person is taller than him or the same height, he will swoop up behind them and carry the bridal style
He also likes putting people on his shoulders
Especially kids
OH MY GOSH HE LOVES KIDS
He has no siblings, so when he interacts with young children, he gets really happy
He wants to have at least 2-3 kids so they won’t grow up lonely like he did
Zeno lore drop? 👀
Zeno has a very weak immune system, which was the cause of most of his loneliness
Super big lore drop, Zeno has lymphoma—
Its minor though, it doesn’t hinder him much besides making him get sick a lot
But his parents didn’t want to have more kids in case they had lymphoma too
And since he was sick often, he wasn’t allowed to play with other kids much as to not get them sick either
OKAY THAT’S ENOUGH ZENO LORE FOR TODAY-
TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR HIS ✨ MOMMY ISSUES ✨
*Ahem-*
ANYWAYS-
Zeno’s favorite food is Zosui, a Japanese rice soup!
He likes it because he learned to make it from a very young age (like… 9?) and his cousin taught him how to cook it
Zeno is very good at household chores. He cooks fairly often, even more so when he becomes a demon slayer since he’s out on his own
He also enjoys cleaning, finding the process rather satisfying
He also sewed his haori himself!
Zeno took a collection of fabric of his two favorite colors, and turned them into a haori
So in conclusion, the man is good housewife material
Someone better wife him up rn
*AHEM* Larz *AHEM*
….. yall hear smth?
Moving on, Zeno obviously is a very teasing dude
He LOVES to tease the living daylights outa people
Whether that be flirtatiously or not
But he is also, ✨ easily flustered ✨
Perfect combo, I know 😎
He’ll tell someone how cute/handsome/gorgeous they are without breaking a sweat
But the moment they throw it right back at him, he is suddenly a very blushy blushy boy o////o
He’d freeze for a few seconds then probably rub the back of his neck, a habit of his
OH YEAH
HE ALSO HAS VERY WARM HANDS
Larz can confirm, this is in one of our rps
His hands are like little heating packets
Oh, you’re shivering? Zeno to the rescue 🤩
GOSH IM RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS-
Zeno is a very pretty sleeper
Bro looks majestic in his sleep and I have a photo to prove it.
Tumblr media
:>
Also yeah, he got some long lashes
Bro is just pretty 24/7
One thing that really irks Zeno, is when he gets accused of being a player/fboy bc of his personality
And yes, this has happened before
He was jokingly flirting with Aoi when he was helping her buy groceries and some random lady from the street stomped up to him and started lecturing him to “not play with a young lady’s heart”
Yeah-
Zeno has his own house(ik, weird for a 17yo)
But he stays there the days/nights he doesn’t have missions
He lives alone(poor lonely bby 😢) but likes to have people over often
He also likes to cook large portions of food and take them to the elderly people who live in his village, that way they get a free meal and they don’t have to eat alone(if they live alone)
He’s just a cutie patootie + bbg
Tumblr media
A/N: THATS ALL FOR NOW, ILL ADD MORE WHEN I THINK OF THEM!

last book i ...
thanks for the tag @lemonlyman-dotcom
idk why im deciding to do this because my book buying habits and my reading habits are so far out of alignment with each other that this will be interesting, i think.
so ...
BOUGHT:
Tumblr media
Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall. I really like Alexis Hall. I have not read this yet. Purchased last summer.
BORROWED:
Tumblr media
Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Funnily enough, I've bought this book three times, all as gifts, but have never read it. Someone I bought it for let me borrow it so I could read it. But I have not yet.
WAS GIFTED:
Tumblr media
This is How You Lose the Time War. Dad called me earlier in the year while he was out of town to tell me he was at the bookstore and wondering what book I wanted as payment for watching the dogs. At first, I was annoyed because I'd rather be paid to watch the dogs but then I remembered this book going viral on twitter so I told him this one. Haven't read.
STARTED:
Tumblr media
Mexican Gothic. Literally just started this week. Reading for my work's book club and while that sounds like I have a very good excuse to finish reading it, I have not been able to finish a single book club book since I started participating late last year. Determined for this one, though.
FINISHED:
Tumblr media
Glitterland. Again, I really like Alexis Hall. I've read multiple Alexis Hall books. This one I read early last year. I'm not entirely sure it is the last one I finished but I don't think it bodes well that it's the only one I remember finishing recently.
I really liked Glitterland. Pretty easy read. Characters were complicated and amazing. I remember liking it because it touched on heavier themes than some of the other Alexis Hall books I've read.
DIDN’T FINISH:
Tumblr media
Delilah Green Doesn't Care. Technically almost every book I've listed can fall under Didn't Finish. But all the ones listed above I started and was really liking and have every intention of going back to them. But Delilah Green Doesn't Care ... yeah, I really wasn't liking this one at all. And I got fairly decently into it. I tried really hard, but something about the writing I wasn't vibing with.
This is probably the last one I really sat down to read with the intention of finishing in like, two days, but I just couldn't do it.
not really sure why I did this but it is more clear to me now how little reading of books I actually do. kinda depressing because I used to read constantly. i buy a lot of books because i always love having them on hand and always want to dive into them. but then i just ... don't. maybe i should do a post of all the books i've started and will one day finish, even if i started them years ago. and then i can make my way through that check list. we'll see.
no pressure tagging: @liminalmemories21 @alrightbuckaroo @paperstorm @rmd-writes @bonheur-cafe
@lightningboltreader @reyesstrand

Might sound absolutely insane but I can’t get this out of my head, what does Jacob do about basic hygiene? Like I’m sure Edix takes it upon himself to groom him or something fucked up but like. What about his teeth? What would happen if he got a cavity? Fingernails? They’ve gotta be LONG and painful. Hair? Im a curly girlie and cannot imagine being separated from my emotional support hairbrush. I am so stressed for this man that it’s coming out in motherly form. What happens when his shoes/ socks wear out and he’s freezing? Or when his body shuts down from lack of protein/ only eating fruit? I want to make this man a hat and a pair of wool socks and a giant fluffy blanket :( maybe I’m reading too far into everything but I am INVESTED, sorry this is so long, thanks for writing and including so much detail!!
[leans back in my comically oversized office chair and steeples fingers]
Venandi don't actually groom each other/themselves as a means of literal bathing, it's mostly just an expression of affection (like how real cats will lick another one on the head when they cuddle), so don't worry, Edix isn't washing Jacob with his spit or anything. He gets a nice sink bath every couple of days.
The more the Venandi learn about humans during their studies, the better Edix is able to take care of Jacob. It's pretty obvious there's tons of similarities between their species, but y'know, you can't always assume with aliens, whatever he uses for mouthwash might cause his pet to vomit blood. Jacob actually takes it upon himself to chew on mint leaves in the beginning because he can't stand having a gross mouth after so long, and rinsing with water. It seems to be working fine for him, so Edix let's him continue. If he gets a cavity...sucks to suck, I guess.
Jacob already bites his fingernails as a nervous habit so there's no issue with them being too long, and even if they were, they're too tiny for Edix to do anything about them. Just let 'em break naturally. Jacob tries to brush his hair to the best of his abilities with his fingers until he gets something similar to a pick comb from Ylva since its what she uses for Mibao's textured hair, which is better than nothing.
Technically in their current story, Jacob isn't wearing any of his original clothes anymore aside from his jacket. He now wears a specially made full body suit thanks to Venandi textile technology after Ylva gave him a bath when he was first given his medicine. If that outfit gets worn out for whatever reason, another one can be printed off for him in no time.
Yeah, unfortunately, Jacob is just straight up vegetarian at this point because no fucking way is he eating any meat he can't identify as coming from earth, and that still has yet to be determined WHICH earth animal it came from. Luckily, he does slightly broaden his range to a few foreign fruits that looks appealing enough and/or are shoved into his mouth by Mibao, which contain some of the vitamins and minerals he's otherwise missing. It's not a whole lot and he's fairly underweight even for his stature as a result, but it's better than being starved entirely. Kinda. Definitely anemic and vitamin D deficient.
Poor boy only deserves the best and continually gets the worst ): Someone take this baby back home to his mama and let him have one good day. Not me though, I don't write fluff, sorry (:

social media is pushing their luck lately on all fronts. even when you understand their mindset these changes are risky - mainly operating under "social media is like a slot machine" kind of mindset, since thats effectively the same thing.
my point is: the best thing they can do is make it as easy as possible to use the website and develop addictions, any friction hurts this and this is why selling data is their strongest practice, *its invisible to the user*. ads, like promoted posts and such, are less intrusive. theyre just another post. ads, like how youtube does it, are very intrusive and frictional. ads still need to exist for data collection to be worth anything to the corporations, but from a social media companies perspective data collection weighs more on the scale.
but recently, theres been a few interesting developments. its not like ive been to shareholder meetings and can predict exactly what the baby eating ceos are thinking, but - i think they believe the addiction the average person has is so powerful over them that they can get away with putting more friction (or theyre just fucking stupid). the examples im talking about right now are twitters "$1 subscription" and youtube waging war on adblockers. twitters seems like just a fucking stupid descision but youtubes seems more calculated, but its still some big friction.
seriously the twitter thing is unbelieveably stupid friction if youve ever been like... on the internet without access to a credit card you know the difference between free and not free VERY well. the subscription idea will probably get dropped but if it somehow does go through like. every kid will not use it for certian, anyone who... yknow... evaluates the worth of the thing theyre buying even SLIGHTLY will quit, like... the only people that will remain are the blue checks who are not beating the nonsentient allegations. anyway.
i dont know how "normal people" use social media. i surround myself with people who are quite aware about the mass gangstalking of users and are generally above average in tech-proficiency. i dont know the social media habits of jimmy age 25. maybe jimmy will just deal with the friction, but the people i know are fairly averse to the friction and are just... using the sites less because of it. there doesnt really seem to be a stopping point in adding this friction until the site owners get burned somehow (unless youre twitter lol theyre gonna keep doing shit until the servers cant afford to be paid they have NO brakes). i guess we just have to see how much it takes for the lowest common denominator to get too annoyed with social media before sites stop their nonsense
uh, anyway, im gonna take a break from youtube until theres a way to use an adblock on it. a week? a month? never? well, thats fine. i quit reddit basically for good after the API change i can drop a site again if i need to

hii!! ive gotta say i really adore how you write the boys; and on top of that too your characterizations are super consistent!! im like maybe a little jealous 😳
do you by chance have any notes or tips on writing their personalities and quirks that you could share? would love to pick your brain if you're comfortable with it :>
hi!! thank you so much 💞
absolutely and i love talking about the writing process so i'm happy to do that!
specifically for ateez this one was interesting. before them i never wrote rpf, and honestly i found it kind of weird. i was used to writing fics for pairings from tv shows or books where i had a fairly limited lens into a character, but then i felt more creative license to stretch things.
with ateez and rpf that was a totally different feeling and even though this is fic.... i kind of always feel this pressure to make it feel real. this is why you'll consistently see mannerisms for each of the boys across all of my fics, whether it's an AU or not, and also why you'll never see me write something like..... cheating or straight up noncon..... like i just don't see it in them and couldn't make it believable.
so given that... when i started getting into ateez i had four years of content available to me to essentially download into my brain. i watched TONS of old content, v-lives, i read their universe messages, etc. and while that was part of just being an atiny it was also research. before i really got into writing aurora i wrote out detailed headcanons for each of them that included sfw and nsfw details. a lot of that included their mannerisms that i would kind of file away when watching lives. i also pay close attention to their vlogs, their photos of what they wear in their off-time etc. so that when i write them, it feels more grounded.
for example, mingi has a habit of silently laughing with his mouth open SO wide and his head back, if i describe him laughing it will often be like that or i will have that image in my mind to inform how i'm going to describe him laughing in a scene. i won't just say "mingi chuckled" because it's another word for laughing, i'll describe his body and how he laughs because that's who he is.
i would say there are members i feel more comfortable in writing than others. yunho is my bias, but also the member i feel the most connected to when writing so he comes more easily. wooyoung, mingi, and san are up there too with members i feel like i don't have to work at. seonghwa is so flexible because he's such a good actor that i think i can mold him more and have it feel real, but i still have a good idea of who he is. yeosang, hongjoong, and jongho i feel less connected to in this way and i've had to work more at to feel like i'm writing them well.
my biggest tip though would be to watch lives and really get a sense for them talking. i pay attention to their cadence, how they sit/stand, where are their hands, what are their expressions doing, how do they look when they're happy/surprised/pissed/tired/etc. and then it helps me stretch from there. lives and logbooks and their vlogs are my biggest ally. the entire going home arc of aurora with yunho was informed from his vlog when he goes to his parents house. there are details in that chapter that are directly ripped from the vlog, so naturally it would feel more like him, it is him (or as close as we can get).
before writing to get in the headspace i'll usually watch a bit of a vlog or live for the member i'm writing about and that's really helped me get to know them and my own characters much better.
i hope this helps!! ask me anything else i'm an open book.

1, 3, 6, and 11 for all your OCs for the WOTR asks?
OOh tyy! lots to answer so the rest are under a read more
1, Do they think they’re going to make it out alive?
Georgie: He hopes! but there are many times where he doesn't think he will, especially in the abyss. Hes just a country boy with a fiddle, a bow and some fae creature friends, the weight of the title of commander weighs heavily on him at times, though he tries to do whats best and not linger on failure.
Cecio: Frankly he doesn't care anymore. Hes living in many ways like a dead man walking, taking what he wants and what little joy he can, but also laying down the groundwork for plans long in the future. he switches between long sighted and calculating and short sighted and petty at the drop of the hat.
Mura: Yes. she wavers a few times, but shes weathered other storms, and over a hundred years of existence in her prime makes living and expecting to make it out alive a habit she cant shake. This too shall pass, because everything else has.
3, Who is/are their best friend(s) among companions and why?
Georgie: Seelah! the first paladin he finds himself liking, and he finds her a comforting person to talk too! Regill to- while they disagree, he finds Regills opinion valuable advice. Georgie and Sosiel are also very good friends even after they become lovers and then are wed.
Cecio: ... Daeran? He was fairly kind [for him] in their romance scene and they both enjoy mocking the foolish nobility... Sosiel doesnt count because of how horrible he is to him, and the rest... Hes a lonely man.
Mura: Daeran- they both have wicked senses of humor and a distaste for nobles, they are a match made in hell and im sure the queen regrets inviting Daeran to be part of the crusade.
6, Which mythic path did they choose and why? Do they regret it?
Georgie: Azata! he has always yearned for freedom, and has had to tell himself that just being whimsical and good wont cause real change- so getting to be himself and also close the worldwound? its a dream come true. somtimes afterwards he wonders about how it felt for the others to see a shepherd become the kc and win so quickly where everyone else lost, but in the moment he was so caught up in the rush of being an azata.
Cecio: Trickster! a life of holding himself back and playing the dutiful and lawful son Paladin means that the petty tricks bring him so much joy, and the councils plans seem to wreak havock on a world he so hates. Time will tell if he regrets it or not...
Mura: Demon. not sure if she regrets it, but i do- while she has plenty of anger shes just doesn't fit that path very well. unfortunatally devil is hidden behind aeon or azata, two choices she wouldnt make- so possibly Litch? nevertheless she pretty low on kcs i want to do a run with so shes mostly gonna be shining in her eventual kc as companion au
11, For martial KCs, favorite weapon? For spellcasters, favorite spell?
Georgie: Summon Nature's Ally VIII [Mastodon 1d3] He loves his mastodons! they do all get in the way but its so fun to see them throw a demon halfway across the map
Cecio: Greatsword! he loves the power it gives, and the show of strength and dexterity it takes to wield it well.
Mura: Daggers. simple, easy to hide, easy to find, and shes had centuries to reach an obscene level of skill [even if something made her lose it all...]
