#she just won't ever bring up your secrets bc it's not polite or nice

[cannibalisticskittles]

amity enjoys feeling useful and helpful -- deeply, pathologically so -- but she's... not actually all that susceptible to praise because she doubts it, as a rule

you try plying her with compliments and she thinks 'aww, that's not true at all, but you are sweet to say so :)'

she recognizes when people are trying to butter her up/otherwise manipulate her into doing something, but there's no negative feelings attached to it -- she's still gonna help you. would be nice if you didn't feel like you had to go through a whole song and dance to get her help, but she knows that's how these things tend to go and that this sort of preamble tends to be expected first. and if you really want or need something done for you, it's only natural to try to get people to help you, right? can't fault you for manipulation attempts.

you don't have to genuinely believe she's beautiful or clever to deserve her help, and if you say you think she is, well. it's not true, obviously. but it's clearly born out of your better nature to say so. you are choosing to say something kind, even if you don't really think so.

amity very much believes that who you are is much more what you do than what you think.

this is also why she'll forge ahead in situations that are probably, almost certainly, going to lead to danger or harm -- yes, they are probably just asking her to go on ahead so they can dip and leave her behind. yes, she sees the flash of the knife behind their back. yes, there is very little reason to be acting this way if they do not intend to do her harm.

but it's possible. and she won't crush that possibility.

she will react -- she'll ready a light spell in anticipation of that door slamming behind her and trapping her, she'll tense up and be prepared to dodge. but she doesn't strike first.

it's the scorpion and the frog again -- yes, she sees the inherent danger. but perhaps you will choose to go against those violent impulses. and if not, well, she's pretty good at swimming and she carries around antivenin for just such an occasion, so that she can afford the risk.

this is also why everything with astarion is truly so funny. he comes on so strong with his compliments that amity does not believe a single word of it for even a second. she decides to trust him, but in spite of it, not because of it.

"'beautiful'?? wow he must really be desperate to earn my trust. poor thing. wish he didn't feel the need to lie so egregiously." and the whole thing about 'waiting to have you since the moment i saw you?' no way. there's no truth to it. but that's okay; the purpose of those sort of flowery words is to make the person on the receiving end feel good, so even if she knows it's a baldfaced lie, there's no harm in it, right?

Me accidentally hitting unfollow while desperately trying to get to your ask box for the character meme lol but bro I know next to nothing about Rona please tell me your thoughts about Rona lol

WHO IS RONA (leftmost character)

Rona is a tabletop character I have for a scifi TTRPG called Stars Without Number. she is the most selfish and morally gray character i have ever made

FAVE THINGS

pro martial artist & a masseuse & 1000 charisma

STRONK BEEFCAKE. mechanically, she can NEVER miss a punch. she will ALways deal damage thanks to cool buffs

she is a HENCHKEEPER which means she has "a knack for collecting lost souls to do her bidding"

GIRLBOSS GASLIGHT GATEKEEP - she is so freaking arrogant

she is literally a SNAKE she has spied on the other party members

SIMILARITIES TO LILITH: fallen from grace from an incredibly high position and ALSO she has SISTER DRAMA

LEAST FAVE THING

she's actually perfect. some party members don't think so though

ok she is a wine alcoholic though

FAVE LINE

I've actually been the most objectively useful person around, so I should be the most-liked.

(spoilers, she is not the most-liked and she is Dumb of Ass)

BROTP

Rona and party member named Garrett. The two of them are called the SNAKE SQUAD bc he helped her spy on a third party member LMFAO

Rona & Sho, her doormat henchman who she is using as a chef and then also a boyfriend. this is very problematic behavior.

Rona & Myka (15yo psychic kid PC who is her roommate. she is an awful parent and he is an awful kid who probably was grown in a lab)

Rona and Ash, ash is the most normal player character and actually confronted rona about Snakedom

OTP

ok it just wouldn't be healthy for anyone involved but right now the only potential outcome is her and her doormat boy Sho

HER otp is her and revenge

NOTP

unfortunately it is a tabletop game and yall aint know anything about it

HEADCANON

due to her fucked up arrogance, she is also emotionally reserved

UNPOPULAR OPINION (amongst the other players)

i think she's great

SONG(s)

I DON'T TAKE INSULTS LIGHTLY by MADDS BUCKLEY

I don't take insults lightly If I could speak politely With just a touch I could disperse your atoms into dust With just a breath I'll bring you screaming from the brink of death I break the high and mighty I don't take insults lightly

If God's a Woman then you should be praying 'Cause I'm the only bitch that capable of sparing you Concrete cracks and crumbles Foundations fall to rubble The jaws of death are snapping The beak of Ravens cackling I break the high and mighty I don't take insults lightly

this is like the MOST girlboss song out of all my girlboss songs

PEOPLE I DON'T LIKE by UPSAHL

Hello, it's so good to see you We met before but nice to meet you Yeah, I don't really wanna be here like, ah-ah-ah-ah What's my name, do you remember? I'm pretty sure you have my number So let's pretend we like each other like, ah-ah-ah-ah

This room is so suffocating Walking on ice, but nobody breaks it Stuck in this one-way conversation Guess I'll be here for awhile And you're blowing smoke in my face And telling me all about your paycheck Take a shot with a fake smile to chase it Guess I'll take another round

Everybody in this party feels so fake I really wish that I could say it to your face But I won't, so

this refers to ronas past life. she was basically heir to the number 1 richest most dystopian company and therefore had to do annyoing business networking. rona was a dumb party girl and her younger sister Katriane was actually like smart and fit to a run a company so they gave CEO-ship to katriane.

rona threatened to expose a company secret in exchange for ceo-ship and then her parents kicked her ass into the physical lowest level of the world. (its a vertical 3-tiered city, with the top tier being for rich fucks and bottom tier for like, 90% of the population in super poor land) and now she has to climb back for revenge.

i have a FAT playlist of songs but here a few more
