🍇 for grim && 🍍for dove!

{ @mysteriarchae | Fruity Asks }

🍇Do they hang out with a lot of other LGBT people? Is this a conscious decision?

Yes he does, and not... exactly. Grim tends to be more comfortable and open around other openly queer and/or neurodivergent folks, so he tends to hang around them more often, and squish himself down into customer service/people pleasing mode less. Because he's being more genuine, people tend to in turn be more comfortable with him. So he ends up with more queer friends, and more non-queer acquaintances. It's not an active, conscious choice, but it is definitely a thing that happens.

🍍 Has this muse's sexuality changed over the course of playing them?

I actually just touched on this briefly! Dove was originally developed with @unsung-heroes's Zandri; we started playing the game together and it was obvious early on that Dove and Zandri were more interested in each other than the npcs or our other friends' characters... other than Dove's vast and wide-flung crushes. That developed into a semi-open relationship, which lead to Dove going from demi-for-Zandri to pan af.

These days, playing lone Dove, I'd say they're pan/demi tbh.

Endless Wonder ;; Sentence Starters

Would it make him feel better if she lied ... ? Would he not look at her so ? Whether it be sorrow or pity, it ignited something childish & uncomfortable in hyur. She understood in theory, old cat had reminded her of such time & time again, it'd been a mercy, it'd been to keep them safe, to give them a chance, but Ara had never been able to truly accept this. Even now, expression sours with desperate frustrations.

"I'll ... continue improving, I promise." she tries to fill the silence with continued denial, speaking as if she hadn't even heard & staring at his feet numbly, "never again will you have to feel as if you need to send me away. I'll do better, I'll be ready-!"

She'd grown in skill, that couldn't be denied, but as she bartered with increasing breathlessness Ara all but shrunk down half her size. Voice cracks in girlish panic, eyes gone glassy, not far within them that terrible scene played again & again & again. Why couldn't HE understand, something bitter barks in the back of mind, she would have stayed ! She would have fought !! She would have .... with a sharp inhale Ara finds the courage to meet his eye. Where he found importance in ensuring her safety, Ara could only find evidence of weakness of self. She wouldn't need saving if she'd only been better ; it must be so ! In idolizing him, she'd taken on even his most self-destructive impulses. Why should he be allowed to die for those he was most loyal, but not she ?

"We'll take on anything ... anyone."

A whisper of fast-turning pages, their flow interrupted by one clever thumb.  All the vastness of the universe was spread above them, a canopy pricked by the light of dying celestial bodies beyond count.  For now, they forsook the heavens in favour of more earthly delights.

No grand Christmas celebrations, no garlands save for the sea of holly and pine that surrounded them.  In the wild heart of the dark sky reserve, far from civilisation, hidden away from the halogen glare that leaked and stained the ether, the domed roof of the observatory rose like a pebble-coloured island.

In Micolash’s grasp, a book of botanical illustrations, a test of wine-honed wits.  Maria watched him over the crystal rim of her glass, silent as she sipped port.  There was a liveliness to her darling’s eyes, a razor-edged intelligence that glinted in his pale, pointed features.  A turn of the wrist revealed the print, unveiling smooth-edged, deep green leaves borne in pairs along a woody stem, and a cluster of white berries.

“Viscum album – mistletoe.”  How unchallenging.  How fitting in all its festive connotations.  “The ancient Greeks and Celts associated it with male fertility.” 

Tradition surely did not extend to include drawings of the amorous plant, but they had never needed custom to compel them.  Micolash, like her, was forged from something far more ephemeral than the stars, far more beautiful than any distant nebula.  An elegant finger curled through one of his belt loops, guiding him close, their pelvises kissing before their lips could meet.  Breathing in brandy fumes, with the taste of port wine in their mouths and her fingers sweeping through the dark mop of unruly hair, Maria kissed him with no care for propriety.

quotes that broke me starters - accepting / @mysteriarchae

A bitter laugh is choked out of his lips. It is short and quiet, but there nonetheless. Still him? He was, wasn't he? Though Hlynur didn't know who he was. He was a walking corpse living on borrowed time. There was little he could actually think of that made a concrete sense of 'self' for him. He had nothing to him. Nothing to lose or gain. Hlynur should have died in the snow a long time ago, before he had a chance to live at all. And yet, he is alive. Still him, whoever that was.

"Are you trying to insult me?"

“ how would you like to run an errand with me? ” before lex could speak, scaeva lifted hand, index finger raised in silent hush. “ it's a . . . secret errand - just the two of us will go, && just the two of us will know. ” brow quirked. “ understood? ” the last thing he needed was ironworks sending someone after him. again.

Two of us will go and two of us will know.

Lex's favorite words out of Nero's mouth.

His lips curled into a grin, and he mirrored Nero's gesture. While the entirety of the Ironworks Lex considered his family, Nero was certainly one of his favorites. Cid was close to him, yes, but he was close in a more traditional way. He was akin to a father figure - someone to go to when things went wrong.

Now, if Lex wanted to cause things to go wrong, he went to Nero.

"Shall I get my combat nouliths for a... stress test?" His ears flicked with glee. "I think we could test them again while we're running errands."

“don’t just stand there, looking at me.” // from nero!

The Miqo'te's head tilted, ears tucked back and arms folded across his chest but otherwise he did indeed continue to just stand there, looking at him. For a moment.

"Okay," he agreed after giving it some thought and he promptly settled into a crouch instead.

“ we’re going the wrong way. ” // from nero!

Nero had proven himself something akin to an ally these past few years, but his smarmy attitude just did wonders when it came to working her last nerve. She wished Yugiri had had the opportunity to non-lethally stabbed him at least once.

But she didn't want to let him get satisfaction that he irriated her, either. Cid constantly fell into those traps.

"Aye, well, that's the risk when you're unfamiliar w'your surroundin's," she turned to him. "Didn't you have a wee compass at one point?"

“Stupid. Just stupid enough to work.” // from nero 💀

skyrim with your voice starters ;; accepting

Stupid ? She'd show him ! She'd show him just how ....... wait, what was that ? Ara pokes her head out of a particularly slim vent, glaring at Garlean with utmost suspicion before broad grin cracks across flushed cheeks. Cackling to herself, she shoves her torso through the vent with some effort, wild braid pinned crudely at the crown of head ever at risk of unraveling, leaving threads of baby hairs stuck to sweaty temple & forehead. It was an uncomfortable, & dreadfully warm, fit, but small stature had its uses around here. She squeezes through just enough to lean over & point at him accusingly.

"Was that a compliment ? I think that was a compliment." Young helper rests her chin upon free hand, enjoying the fresh air while she still could, "A shame I didn't record that, who knows when I'll next need a pick-me-up."

A miserable whirring noise from below catches her attention & swipes the grin right off her face. With a muttered curse, Ara disappears back into the heart of the machine. She'd need that pick-me-up sooner rather than later at this rate. Here's to hoping that stupid idea had any value.

@mysteriarchae said — ❛ gladiolus // for eulmoran verse! ❜

gladiolus :   describe a moment from your muse’s life that they will never forget .

a couple things ; probably her first time watching a show at the honeybee which sparked her to be a dancer and ofc the events of shb within eulmore.

the shift to vauthry's rule over eulmore was probably a huge shock for her since it most likely happened in her lifetime. the events that follow in shadowbringers would definitely shake her to her core, regarding her home being in such. chaos for a hot minute.

the more personal non-political memory is the spark that ignited her passion for dancing. i like to imagine the honeybee would do more than just. strip dances & would actually have some performances that are more family friendly ( think casinos and what not doing concerts ) so watching one of the shows inspired her.

she doesn't just do spicy dancing either, i'd imagine she does actual shows like the ones that inspired her.

it didn't seem to matter that minnie was coated in flour and various other ingredients from the kitchen. after learning some of the basics of baking, she realized how fun it could be -- the creation of something so tasteful from seemingly nothing. like a science, one she actually thrived with.

the entire day was spent making dozens of cookies, biscuits, tartes, anything that sounded delicious. there was enough for plenty of the citizens of eulmore, to suit all different preferences. ' the servants did help me ... i didn't do it all on my own. ' minnie admits with a fond giggle. she grins up at her father, hands lifting to settle over much larger ones. ' we could have a tea party with everything ! '
