Angst Time | Accepting

Is there any particular music you listen to while writing/plotting angst?

oh u b ET there is fjifao music is kind of my go-to for inspiration of any sort, and that goes double for angst and despair rip mostly bc it's very easy for me to visualize Scenes while i listen to certain (largely instrumental) music or even to just imagine a certain atmosphere or mood. i have two Mood Music playlists on youtube, one general one, and one specifically for the ruination verse since it’s been on my mind a lot lately and it has a very specific Feel fjieao

some of my favorites are race to resting rock, what happens next, wishful thinking, i’m listening, all gone (the outside), vals de la mandragora, aaand. a rare vocal one-- no one is ever going to want me

Could you give us an angsty excerpt about your muse?

an. an excerpt?? like, writing? bc if so u know i'm going to toss out some more snippets of the ruination fic right........

“No doubt you’ve deluded yourself into believing that slavish devotion you once heaped upon our last king was, in fact, a kind of unconditional love, but we both know now that simply isn’t true… don’t we?”

It feels now as if it’s been quite some time since Natori had been removed from his position of tacit authority, that senseless stretch of time when he had spent his days numb and detached, oblivious to the chaos he’d eventually awoken to. Between Caishen’s needling words and his continuing touch, the way he squeezes Natori’s paw as if he is offering support through an onerous trial, Natori is beset suddenly by the powerful urge to succumb to that unfeeling languor again and this time never resurface.

fjfiea i just. got so mean in this fic lies down

What are your muse(s)’ fatal flaws? Any wishlists to do with them?

ohhh. i think one of his fatal flaws which is. probably most noticeable is his devotion to the royal family and to the kingdom itself. more than that, however, i think if someone saw the huge amount of responsibility he feels toward those things on top of his devotion, it’d make for a very easy undoing for him

and i would. honestly. really love to do something involving natori interacting with a more powerful villain or other Unpleasant Person who is using his loyalty against him, twisting his arm into working with them or Something similar thinking emoji 

mostly bc i adore it when what is usually a positive trait becomes a character’s undoing jfifeoa

tho honestly i would love to have natori interact with any villains period, bc he only has his wits to keep those he loves safe, and i just really like the idea of him desperately playing along with this villain or otherwise trying to appease them or even undermine them in very subtle ways in order to Fix Everything
