Ooooh 🙌
send 🙌 to grab my muse by the throat
@eraserisms
Tumblr media
📗 "Huh?" An airy gasp fled his mouth before he clapped a hand over it, stopping any additional sounds giving away his location once he heard the faintest drop of debris. He twisted and pressed his back against the wall, scooting to the corner, waiting. Jade eyes lowered to the shadows, searching for any sign of Mr. Aizawa among the poles, trees and telephone wires. He would most likely be above, Izuku stayed low while flicking his fingers, a breeze of his air canon assured him Erasure had not been used on him yet.
Could I make it to the exit? There's two minutes left...
As his head inched closer to the building's edge, trying to peek, he thought back to how this training started. A weakness in himself Izuku never considered, stealth. He always been a close to long range fighter, it not once occurred to him a call to action may consist of going undetected. Ten minutes. That's all he had to get from the start of the training grounds, mimicking a rural area, to the end without being caught by Mr. Aizawa.
Having no prior knowledge, he went in blindly but not without a plan. Given his hero suit, a color matching his hair, he kept to shrubs and trees, a feeble attempt at camouflage but an attempt nevertheless. Froppy would not be proud. Of course, he ran out of foliage and stuck to the shadows where he could find any, quiet as serpent hunting a mouse.
A novice may have taken comfort in not seeing their teacher during a test but Midoriya knew a pro wouldn't be so easily outmaneuvered. Mr. Aizawa could have been watching the from the start and falsely gave Izuku a sense of security by not erasing his quirk. Another air canon breeze. He could use it but that didn't mean Aizawa sensei wasn't in range.
Peeking over the edge, he found a clear path to the exit and still no sign of his teacher. Maybe, he still searched for Izuku? No. Despite how large the area stretched with plenty of hiding spots, there were other methods of tracking than sight.
One minute left.
If he gathered at least 20% in his legs, he could charge out of here but also draw attention. What was more important though? Making it to the end or go unseen? If he was already spotted then stealth didn't matter but... he hadn't been attacked so he had no clue if he failed already. Clearly out of his element, however, Izuku managed to appreciate the course. He disliked disadvantages but how else would he know what to improve on without forced in a situation?
30 seconds.
If he had been found, he might as well get points for completing the training! Sparks strung along his lower limbs as he slid out into the opening, dirt rising and briefly concealing him. Not even a moment later and he charged for the large arch way. He could make it in time under five leaps! First bound, second, third, four---!!!
The surge in his body stopped, a plug pulled from an outlet as its cord wrapped around his throat. Forward momentum immediately halted then shifted backwards!?
Tumblr media
"You've got to be kidding me!" Instead of pulling at the scarf from his neck, he follow the cloth to its owner, wondering where the hell had he been this whole time?!
A horn blared.
Time was up.

“ I have a wish but i am afraid to speak it.”
@luposcainus || well, buddy, have i got news for you !! (๑˘︶˘๑)
Tumblr media
“Ah, but see: that's the beauty of it,” Magnifico is quick to reassure him, drinking in the young man's trepidation and combatting it with his own exuberance. “Truly, you don't have to utter a word; all you need to do is feel that passion and desire, hold on to it, and I do the rest. Simple, isn't it?” He cocks his head as he rounds the other, a hand amicably hovering behind the small of his back—albeit briefly before returning to his side.
“That being said, since you are a guest here, our traditions do not need to become your own,” he explains. “Of course, I will not deny you the right to give me your wish, should you want that, but that is entirely your choice.”

“Let me grab the first-aid kit. Don’t move.” ( Niki for Rinne )
Tumblr media
Groaning, Rinne slumped up against the small sofa in Niki's (and his, by proxy) apartment's living area. As he stared down at his bruised knuckles - they weren't anywhere near as bad as the shiner on his face or the scrapes on his arms - he had to reevaluate his life choices. Again.
It had been a pretty normal night at the pachinko parlor, really. How was he to know that the guy next to him had been a very angry drunk and that the man had convinced himself that Rinne had to be cheating. He hadn't been, that was the most annoying thing, because Rinne honestly didn't believe in toying with Lady Luck like that, it just meant that he would slip out of favor from her.
Still, the guy had cornered him when he left and while idols most certainly didn't get into fights, he had to be allowed to defend himself, right? He had tried to walk away, but the man wouldn't have it. And this was the result.
"Ey, babe... Like... I'm sorry, 'kay? Yer not mad, right?"

I love your comic! I just been wondering how is the procedure to make one page? Is there a lot of writing and sketching? Or is there any secret method to your drawing? You don’t have to answer this if you don’t want to. I’m just really amazed by how constant your posts are, they never disappoint in making my day better whenever I see them.
ashjsdfjhnscjsvbowhkf thank you QuQ
There is some writing, I usually write the dialogue first so I know how many panels I'll need for the scene. I write my scripts on leftover cash receipts ;)
Tumblr media
About the drawing itself...I wish there was this super awesome secret method, but there really is not. I draw the sketch first...
Tumblr media
...then lineart and dialogue
Tumblr media
then flat colours,
Tumblr media
and finally shading and backgrounds
Tumblr media
I'm probably going to receive a ton of hate mail from comic artists who actually know how things should REALLY be done x'D
The more panels and characters, the longer the page takes. While I do enjoy making longer pages and get people enjoy them more as well, I'll need to balance the consumed time with shorter ones with less characters.
I prefer staying ahead of the schedule (you can see all the posts have been finished like 2 months before posting) because I am genuinely terrified of having to one day make an announcement that says "Sorry, the page is still in the making". I broke my right pinkie less than 2 years ago and drawing was VERY slow back then, but since I had plenty of finished pages in stock no one knew about it ;)
Soooo yeah, that's pretty much it. That's how I do it, not sure if it's anything special compared to how others are drawing their comics.
Thank you so very much for your message and feedback, it truly makes it all worth it to know people like what I'm creating. Also that they appreciate the consistency, that's a very important thing for me as well.
I hope you'll enjoy the story in the future as well, especially when we have our beloved chaotic mother-in-law in the game again ;)

THE REST OF THE DIRTY HEADCANONS (INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW)
Dirty A-Z headcanon game
[ILU! Let's see what my Loki thinks and if any of this changes in the future XD]
A - Alone time (how do they get off when they’re all by themselves? do they watch porn, is it all in their imagination, do they jerk off, do they use toys?) 
// When you're a master illusionist, you're absolutely going to craft illusions to enact whatever you're fantasising about at the time, which has also meant for some horrendously embarrassing teen situations when your brother won't leave you the fuck alone and barred doors mean shit all when he's determined. Obviously the same applies in reverse the amount of times Loki has projected in on Thor at the worst moments. Sometimes on purpose when he's with a woman. Anyway, this is about Loki. Usually illusions. If he's tired or lazy, touching him or herself without that is an option. He also enjoys using his magic to enhance sensation or to stimulate an immediate orgasm if he's frustrated and wants it over with quickly. Asgard doesn't really have recorded porn in the Midgardian form, so he makes do with his illusions, although there are many enchanted scrolls and books in circulation that fulfil similar purposes. Yes, he watched some of Tony Stark's sex tapes.
B - Bondage (do they like it? do they not? do they prefer to be the one being tied or the one doing the tying?)
// Both. Definitely both. He enjoys having his partners tied up and at his mercy, but he also revels in feeling like he's dangerous enough to need restraining. He likes to be a brat about it. There are situations where he feels secretly turned on when it is done against his will but it depends how powerless he feels and who he is with whether that powerlessness will be enjoyed. With someone he is frightened of, he does not like it at all. Loki is a complicated thing when it comes to his power balance and his kink needs. He can surprise himself and others what he will or won't enjoy in the moment.
C - Answered previously
D - Dominance (do they prefer to dominate, or be dominated? do they have experience as a Dom? Do they have a Dom that they trust already? What kind of things do they enjoy as/with their Dominant partner?)
// I think this is entirely partner dependent. Loki thrives in switchy relationships. If he's with someone who is one or the other, he prefers sub males and dom females. He can lean a little more toward dominant at times because he likes control and to show his partner what he can do for them and to tease them. However, if he either trusts someone or has the hots enough for someone that he'll allow them to dominate him, he loves to get bossed about as a brat and made to behave. He has more experience being a dom and by default hasn't really allowed others to dominate him out of fear and distrust. Unofficially speaking he would allow the following people to dominate him (though this list isn't conclusive): Strange, Thor (in Thorki verses), Tony (if he's fancying a change from bottom), Sylvie, Sif. There is a limit to his being dominated. He doesn't like to feel like a pet, though a monster is a different matter. He doesn't like to play servant or be degraded or humiliated unless there is a specific circumstance that turns him on. Mostly he prefers to be told off in a way that makes him feel cheeky and clever; he likes to be threatened; manhandled and/or restrained.
E - Extra info (any other fetishes? feet? leather? role playing? blood? fantasies that they might want to experience not on this list?)
// Oh, man. I've likely missed something but here's some stuff for now. Loki would be thrilled to role-play with a partner. He loves playing pretend and I think getting to do this in a sexual setting would probably keep him from so much of his acting out that he does elsewhere to everyone's cost. He is also able to shape shift into other people and species, which adds a whole other level to it. He is also into rape fantasy to a point, the romanticised Disneyfied kind where he or his partner would play-act as villain to the 'you fiend how dare you' counterpart. He likes elements of knife-play, but typically just the threatening aspect. He's not really into hurting his partners or being hurt or bled (though I'm exploring that a little in alternate threads) and the only time he likes blood to be involved in sex is if they're screwing in the blood of their slain enemies. He has a little bit of a thing for tentacles and monsters if he considers them handsome/beautiful enough (*cough* Strange Supreme) and he's very into Stark's armours. My Lokes might not have as many kinks as some others, not as much as I'd imagine his mythical origin to have, but he's pro the existence of most kinks. In his MCU form, he's generally too refined to find enjoyment in body substances. I recommend suggesting various kinks that aren't listed on this quiz and seeing what he says about them.
F - Food play (do they like using food in the bedroom? are there any foods they prefer to use during sex or foreplay? any they’d like to try?)
// I wouldn't say he's overly fussed about it but he would enjoy feeding a partner fruit or drizzling them in honey. Otherwise it would depend on the food. He's seen enough (and been one of) warriors at banquet tables not to often think about putting the two together unless he's in a very rare mood.
G - Answered previously
H - Humiliation (does degradation and insults get them hot? do they get off on humiliating someone else? what kind of humiliation is good for them?) 
// This is a complex one. Instinctively, Loki emphatically does not enjoy humiliation. He is prideful and insecure. He does not enjoy being treated like he is worthless or being ridiculed. However, there are blurred lines when it comes to certain relationships that involve a lot of banter. Strangefrost, for example, thrives on them insulting one another and revelling in each other's misfortune, but it has its limits. Sexual humiliation, particularly, is unlikely to make for a happy Loki. He is more tolerant of what I suppose you might call situational humiliation i.e. things go wrong for him and right for his opponent, he has bad luck, or gets temporarily outwitted. Anything that makes him feel treated like he's truly inferior or takes away his agency runs the risk of him leaving a sexual encounter or, worse, attacking his intended partner. When it comes to being the one doing the humiliating, Loki adores playing tricks on people and feeling cleverer than they are, so he does enjoy that aspect of teasing another, but usually only to the point of riling them up to fight back. He could entertain the idea of being cruel to someone if they asked him to, but it would venture into role-play territory for him to enjoy it. I could see him liking playing around with it as his dominant side, much like when he was throwing Tony around in the Avengers XD Back to the sexual side of things, anything related to bathroom usage is a no-go. Even if he treated someone like an animal, he'd want things clean.
I - Answered previously
J - Jelly (what kind of lube are they using? is it flavored? have they tasted it? do they prefer to use something other than real lube during sex?)
// On Asgard, they have various different oils that serve as lubricant. They're a fairly sex positive culture when you've not got some princely expectation of you (which does very little to change that anyway). For anal sex, Loki keeps oils about his person to conjure up with magic when needed. For vaginal, his or her magic increases stimulation to help naturally prepare either a female partner or her own parts. Midgard, among other planets, though, has a lot more variety of options to have fun with and Loki approves. He's fascinated by varying flavours and sensations. Once he knows of them, he can mimic them with his illusions rather than needing to purchase anything but base lube. Sex with other species can end up not requiring lube e.g. tentacled beings who have their own natural secretions.
K and L - Answered previously
M - Masochism (do they like pain? scratching? biting? being bossed around? spoken down to? choked?)
// Despite his fairly high pain tolerance, Loki does not enjoy pain. He can put up with it for a while if his mischief suffices to be amusing enough to him to be worth it. He can sort of enjoy it if he's engaging in rough sex or a foreplay fight; he likes the act of provoking people for a reaction, but the end goal isn't to get hurt. With scratching or biting he prefers it in play rather than making a mark. He will allow it more from human partners who likely won't damage him anyway. He does, however, very much like getting bossed around by certain partners, so long as he can be a brat about it all. Being talked down to is touchy for him and liable to make him angry; I'd say situation dependent. As for choked, haha, no. The only people he would allow to squeeze his throat are his brother (Thorki or otherwise) or regular human partners without extreme trust. Too much pressure will freak out a post Infinity War Loki. Other Lokis just don't find it a turn-on.
N - Not yet (orgasm delay? orgasm denial? do they tell their partner not to touch themselves for a certain amount of time or under certain circumstances? do they delay or deny other things like bathroom usage or food? do they need to beg first? do they like being denied / delayed?)
// Loki definitely enjoys the tease of orgasm delay whether for himself or for his partner. He likes to get people to an utterly desperate point and to use magic to keep them from going too soon, testing them to see if they will beg. He's a little bit more impatient to reach his own end, but having things drawn out is all part of the game. Denial is not something that he enjoys at all. It will make him angry. He might deny a partner if he's being a shithead or he's feeling vengeful. Denying partners touch would be something he would have fun with, though he would like it less for himself, I think. Needs like food or bathroom breaks he has no interest in denying. They aren't the same as carnal desire. Though, in darker verses, I could see him liking the control aspect of withholding food or water until a captive begged.
O - Answered previously
P - Photography (are cameras allowed in the bedroom? do they send nudes? do they ask for nudes? would they ever record themselves having sex / being caught up in a sexual act?)
// This doesn't particularly interest Loki though he would enjoy putting on a show for a partner's attention. I wrote a frostiron fic on the subject once that covers a little of his feelings on it. He wouldn't send nudes in his male form, though in female form she would send suggestive pictures or ones of her in lingerie. He wouldn't say no to having tasteful nudes sent to him, but trusting a god of mischief with such things is your funeral. He'd be open to experimenting with recording something, but when he can recreate a memory with illusions he's not going to go out of his way for it.
Q - Quiet please (what’s the volume like in the bedroom? are they quiet? do they scream? do they like a loud partner? do they prefer if their partner is more soft spoken?)
// Situation dependent. Loki is capable of keeping himself quiet when necessary, though he likes to at least make soft ragged breaths. Typically he will make a medium amount of noise with snarls, gasps, and grunts. If the going is rough, he'll yell. In female form, she can be much noisier. Loud moans, cries, keens, shrieks, the works. He doesn't mind what volume his partner lets out, although he does enjoy the powerful feeling of managing to get loud noises out of a partner. As long as they're not just lying there like a doll making no noise, he'll have fun.
R - Routine (do they have a routine when it comes to picking up one night stands? do they have scheduled sex with their partner? are things spontaneous or planned ahead of time?)
// No routine, only chaos. Or so he likes to think. There may well be a pattern to the way he'd go about finding casual sex, even if he'd want to deny it in his mind to keep himself from feeling boring. Scheduled sex would depend on if his partner needed that, and he would spice it up with some aspects of surprise when it was his turn, or request it of his partner. Spontaneity is his preference.
S - Sleepy sex (do they give oral to wake their partner up? do they like receiving oral to wake up? do they like fucking their partner awake? being fucked awake? how about being fucked to sleep at night? do they have lazy morning sex?)
// If a partner is comfortable with it, Loki would probably enjoy touching or fucking them awake. If he's feeling cheeky or generous he might give oral, but only if he's in a comfortable enough relationship, sharing a bed. He likes being touched or sucked awake, but fucked awake would need some particular trust and would be partner dependent. Fucked to sleep he would enjoy, though the energy that would require might well break the bed. He'd absolutely go for lazy morning sex, though he wouldn't remain lazy for too long. Despite not being particularly a morning person, his Asgardian stamina (and his ingrained anxiety) would rouse him fairly quickly.
T - Top or bottom (self explanatory…)
// Loki's a switch. Prefers to top in his male form unless he trusts/loves someone enough or is too riled up to care.
U - Underwear (what kind of underwear do they put on in the morning, if any at all… do they own any sexy underwear or lingerie?)
// In male form, he doesn't wear any. Female form she likes to wear a variety of the sexiest of lingeries.
V - Voyeurism (do they like to watch, or are they more hands on? are they more of an exhibitionist?)
// Whilst there is some pleasure in watching others have fun if they're putting on a show for him, Loki prefers to be involved. He likes attention and to feel wanted and he needs reassurance about that, without it being obviously stated. He doesn't want people to think he's needy. When Loki is drunk there is a much larger chance of him showing exhibitionist tendencies as he gets overexcited and misbehaviour outwins propriety. Sober, he's more likely to remain clothed, but that doesn't mean he won't put on a show. What voyeurism he does enjoy, however, is when he secretly catches people cheating on someone else or witnesses participants he hasn't expected. Free porn with a side order of blackmail is far sweeter.
W - Water (pool sex? bath / shower sex? are they into watersports at all?)
// Yes to sex in water. It's a bit awkward but fun for a laugh and he's pretty good with balance and protecting his partners from harm. Watersports, no. He's pro people enjoying it as it's his in his remit to encourage being filthy but it's not personally for his MCU incarnation. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, it's the sexual kind of watersports rather than what Mobius is into.
X - X-dressing (do they crossdress as a part of teasing / foreplay? does crossdressing turn them on? turn their partner on? do they prefer to do it or watch their partner crossdress instead? do they use other costumes? cat ears, tails, etc?)
// It's not a particular kink of Loki's because he can literally transform his sex and shape. That said, I could see how some Lokis would love to do it as a big fuck-you to Asgardian masculinity culture. Unfortunately, this version of Loki is very caught up in that culture so he likes to feel masculine (in an elegant way) when he's male and feminine when he's female, or somewhere in between depending on the shape he takes. Whether he's turned on by a partner crossdressing would depend on the partner and whether he feels the garments suit them. Personally I don't think Hiddleston's build suits dresses for example but you'd have to put him in a dress that suited him and change my mind :P In female form she'd absolutely rock menswear. Now I really want to see what Loki looks like in full drag >.>
Y - Yes, Master (what kinds of names are used during sex? do they like being called master / mistress, daddy, etc…? what names do they call their partner?)
// Some of this will be partner dependent. Loki generally responds well to princely, kingly, or godly titles. Either during role-play or in darker threads he might like 'master'. He does not like being called daddy and he would never call someone else daddy except possibly in female form for either Strange or SIM if they wanted it, but it is not a kink of Loki's. He isn't really one for giving names either, though you may hear the occasional darling, dear (usually ironically), or 'sweet [insert name]'. He's more likely to give descriptions or call someone a precious mortal (if applicable) while he teases them. He could enjoy calling someone 'slave' in role-play. I recommend (carefully) calling him things and seeing how he responds, and only by people he's attracted to. Don't call him kitten, though, unless you're prepared to see a knife.
Z - Zones (what are their erogenous zones? what spots on their body should be touched, bitten, kissed, when someone wants to get them in the mood?)
// I think I covered this in the kissing answer. His neck is definitely the main one. Followed by his waist, if you're lucky enough to see it exposed. Squeezing his arse works, too, but probably best done if you're in bed with him and not just passing or you'll be in for a world of trouble that day. For good or ill.

"What are you gonna do with the arrancar?"
Tumblr media
❝ Excellent question! ❞ It was obvious that he was enthusiastic about it. He was bouncing on the balls of his feet, like a child about to receive their birthday presents. He honestly didn't know what he was going to do with the different Arrancar. His mind was proposing a MILLION different projects, each one of them incredibly tempting. He thought he knew which one he'd choose, but when he was in this kind of excited mood, it was hard to be certain of whether or not he'd change his mind.
❝ I'm very inspired for a reanimation project! ❞ He rubbed his small hands together. He'd gotten the inspiration from Szayelaporro Granz. Reanimation was truly interesting.

Hello Plant, lovely friend ^^ I am a-coming with questions. Oh would I have loved just putting the whole post into your asks but that would be unfair to everybody else who wants to ask questions and maybe also be a tad bit overwhelming. So I've made a selection. Feel free to pick the ones that tickle your fancy the most and ignore the rest ^^
3. What architectural or design aesthetic would best suit them?
7. If your OC could meet any historical or past figure, whether in the real world or in their own canon lore, who would it be and why?
13. Is your character bilingual or multilingual? Yes she is Which language are they most comfortable in or prefer using? How did they come to learn them? (Also if I may make an add-on which language are reserved for which occasions? What's the socializing language? The academic language? The work language? Does she learn Antivan?)
23. What sort of routines, rituals or rules do they have or set for themselves? (What is her procedure to make herself comfortable after a long day of work? Bold question, may be a tad bit personal, if so please ignore)
I hope you're having an amazing day!!!!
Henlo my excellent friend :3 Thank you for sending the lush asks! I will answer them ALLLLLLL 8D
Under the cut, because like Aurelio and Revka, I am incapable of keeping it concise.
Okay, so 3 (what architectural or design aesthetic would best suit them?). I'll be the first to admit I'm not au fait with the industry terms. What I can say, though, with regard to general preferences:
Most important thing for Rhodri is that stuff is clean and in reasonably good repair. With the exception of hairline cracks in the buildings, which any Tevinter will assure you adds character, broken tiles and the like should be replaced. Also important is to make the place look both imposing to outsiders, but welcoming to familiar people.
Some clutter indoors, especially books, is encouraged, but only on table surfaces (never on the floor, as Tevinters consider it dirty, no matter how many times you mop it).
I've always seen Tevinter as a place that has a lot of sandstone and marble, so I figure plenty of the buildings are made out of those two things. Especially the upper-crust villas like what Rhodri grew up in.
In terms of decorations, better with trees and gardens rather than fancy statues. The symbol of Tevinter can either be carved into the sandstone, or in a banner hanging at the front of the villa.
High ceilings, please, and an atrium indoors, as it's hot as buggery year round in Minrathous. Make it nice and light, too. It's a beautiful, sunny city.
A couple of pictures below if that helps (links embedded in the pics):
Tumblr media
close to ideal house. God help me for using minecraft. Make the land flat and stick a gazebo out the back for watching the afternoon thunderstorm, and that's a wrap.
Tumblr media
Someone made a Tevinter-inspired courtyard, though I would just make this their atrium. MeggieRock took a whole bunch more pictures; I just chose the one I liked best. They're all amazing, though. I'm not quite sure if that's what the question was asking or not. Was I close? haha :D lmk if not!!
Number 7 (If your OC could meet any historical or past figure, whether in the real world or in their own canon lore, who would it be and why?)
Oh, easy choice. Zevran's mother, hands down. Naturally, if she could plan it out, she'd take Zevran so he could meet her, but if that wasn't allowed, she'd take a list of questions and information to pass on to her mother-in-law on Zevran's behalf.
One thing I never really thought of until now is that it would have been quite a thing at the wedding to see the Imperial Chantry packed to the rafters with Rhod's family and friends and friends of the family and and and... But then not a soul from Zevran's side. People would've been astonished. Northerners have huge networks, and Zevran comes empty-handed to his own nuptials? It's sad, honestly. Especially because even though Tevinters don't marry for love as a rule, the marriage does signify two households becoming much more linked. Really, you don't just marry one person, you marry the whole family.
On the plus side, Zevran has a whole new gaggle of people who love him to bits, so it's very much a net win. Even so, Rhodri was looking forward to the whole +1 family add-on with whomever her father was going to set her up with. So the chance to say g’day to her mother-in-law would be something she’d be absolutely jonesing for.
Assuming Zevran isn't allowed to join in on this, meeting Zevran's mother would be a very emotional event, I think, for Rhodri and her mother-in-law both. Not least because this poor Dalish woman realises her only child has gone and gotten hitched with a Tevinter Magister, oh my GOD. I dunno, though, I think Rhodri's candour and very plain affection for her son (she practically sings odes about him as it is) would reassure her. She'd probably be heartbroken to hear Zevran went through what he did with the Crows. I’m sure she’d be very proud of him too, though, especially as Rhodri waxes lyrical about his heroism and kind heart during the Blight (and every other point in time, honestly) .
And yanno, marrying into fabulous wealth with a spouse who's willing to do anything for him, well. It's a turn-up for the books after Crow living. This lady would probably be content enough to let Rhodri go (only after ALL her questions are answered) with some ominous warning about haunting the shit out of her if she breaks Zevran's heart. Fair enough, honestly. What loving mother could do more?
13. Is your character bilingual or multilingual? Yes she is Which language are they most comfortable in or prefer using? How did they come to learn them? (Also if I may make an add-on which language are reserved for which occasions? What's the socializing language? The academic language? The work language? Does she learn Antivan?)
Ooh. Ooh ok. Let's see. I can't say Rhodri dislikes Common, because it's her mother's native language (though Revka does speak Tevene) and her mother is a SAINT, damn it! BUT Rhod's far more Tevinter than Kirkwaller, culturally speaking, and does have a heavy preference for Tevene.
The trouble with Common, as any proud Northerner will tell you, is that it's not so much a cultural language these days, but rather a trade tongue. A lingua franca, at most. Those poor bloody Fereldans and Marchers, Maker help them, lost their cultural language and can only speak Common now. Where are the culturally-specific words for certain moods, circumstances, weather phenomena, celebrations? Where's the language made by the first of their people to live there, that ties them to their homes and families?
She uses Common when she needs to. Everyone does. If anyone with her doesn't speak Tevene, or doesn't feel proficient enough, she'll speak Common, as basic courtesy dictates. With Kirkwaller family, though, she uses it more joyfully. Especially when she gets a chance to whip out the dreadful sandblaster Kirkwaller accent and horrify everyone but her mother, who was the one to teach it to her.
(HC if needed: I have assigned various accents and dialects of the English-speaking diaspora to the Marcher nations and beyond, as I'm sick of RP everywhere. Kirkwallers speak Australian English; Starkhaveners have the most gorgeous Glaswegian (feel free to picture Sebastian Vael screaming "Whae fuckin widnae! Eh? Think ah fuckin widnae? Ya fuckin radge!" when challenged to a fight). And those splendid people in Tantervale delight us all with the linguistic beauty of Belfast!)
For all other matters, she speaks Tevene. I'd say she's evenly bilingual having grown up speaking both, but Tevene, which is much more expressive and emotional, communicates her and her inner workings best. Lots of Tevene doesn't translate well into Common, and she forever bemoans that, because it makes it much harder to get her message across. The pain of having to explain 'te amo plenissime' while Zevran's still learning, oh god. She thinks and dreams in Tevene. Any poetry or important, heartfelt things she writes-- Tevene (except to her mother, of course). Magical research is more easily written in Tevene- Circle mages across Thedas use a lot of Tevene loanwords for magical things because of course, magic was suppressed outside of the Imperium.
She does learn Antivan though! Luckily, the two countries have very similar linguistic roots-- in fact, my HC here is that Antivan developed from Tevene, and they haven't diverged too much yet. I'd say it'd be like being a German speaker learning Dutch. The trick is keeping your own first language out of your target language's turn of phrase. Zevran and Rhodri both pick up each other's language without too much trouble once they're living under the same roof again after Awakening.
23 What sort of routines, rituals or rules do they have or set for themselves? (What is her procedure to make herself comfortable after a long day of work? Bold question, may be a tad bit personal, if so please ignore)
Rhodri, who has been watching me type all this for her, has asked me to pass on that, 'iucundis can ask me anything at all, and we will not be ignoring this question,' so there you have it!
I don't think there's anything very specific to the busier days that would feature, to be honest. Her schedule is embedded with the things needed to keep her comfortable. When she was a little sprout and had come home from a long day, she was often fairly tense, especially if she'd gotten dirty. Her folks found that the best solution was to drop her in the bath and read to her, and then give her dinner. Most problems can be fixed by getting clean and having a good meal, really.
Even now, bath and food works wonders. Bathing with company or without, she doesn't mind. (Ironically enough, given its fussiness about modesty, Tevinter has a big bathhouse culture, and friends and family love a day out together at the spa/baths.)
That aside, if she's tired or stressed, it's more painful as a rule to deviate from the schedule, so if she has things that need to be done, she's found that it's better to half-arse them to get to bath/food/bed quicker. Dealing with the fallout is Tomorrow Rhodri's problem. My little rebel. <3

an   ‘  i’ll  be  back  ’   kiss. ( but what if it was before his fight with Kiryu? )
a fucked-up kissing meme . accepting
From the moment they met, Melissa knew Ryuji followed no rules but his own - the patriarch had his very unique moral compass, an internal code of honor and a source of never-ending passion to seeing his dreams coming true. These things had all drawn the hostess to him - Ryuji was brighter than anything the woman had seen before; his pull was like the one of the sun over a smaller planet, and basking in his light and warmth was so incredibly addictive.
Among his decisions was the iron-clad resolve to be the single ‘Dragon’ in the yakuza world; and while Melissa had never seen (or interacted with) the man who Ryuji considered as his sworn opponent and enemy, there were enough whispers around. Particularly after her relationship with the Go-Ryu Clan patriarch went public - as a result of being somewhat ‘accepted’ as one of their own, certain conversations regarding to their own legends and personalities which did not necessarily make headlines reached her.
Kiryu Kazuma sounded like a myth - particularly when Ryuji was not around, tales about him seemed to suggest the stuff of legends, covering from super-human strength to being nigh invulnerable to bullets and other weapons. Frankly, it made Melissa anxious - and while she struggled to picture someone who could best her lover in a fight, these shared stories were not from other impressionable hostess like herself - they were from seasoned yakuza members, so there had to be some truth to it.
And yet - the brunette hoped it was just exaggeration or fabrication. The fact remained that the girl choose to believe Ryuji, and the wins he had claimed in other occasions seemed to suggest a favorable scenario. He would do it, right? He had never failed - there was no promise of his that went unfulfilled. The patriarch said that he would look after her and he had performed flawlessly; he had vouched to make the hostess happy at his side (after making sure she really desired that position and all the consequences that came with it) and Melissa had no complaints.
So when the night of their departure to Kamurocho came, the woman tried her best to shake the fears and anxiety off her frame; Ryuji could do it. As they embraced in his office and away from the gaze of his men, the yakuza dipped down for a kiss - and it was a searing one, the type that left Melissa dizzy and grasping at the lapels of his coat for support once he was done. He didn’t need to say it - but the words ‘I’ll be back’ followed, a small comfort to the woman he declared to adore and worship, and she nodded.
Under his gaze - so fierce and strong like thunder, but soft and warm for her - Melissa believed every single word; he would win. She would pray for the gods to make it so, to deliver her beloved Ryuji home, safe and sound and with one hell of a story to share.
“I know you will - I’ll be waiting,” she replied, and offer a light peck over his lips in return. The hostess inhaled sharply and forced her hands to drop off his clothing while taking a step away; she wanted to look strong and deserving of his confidence and respect on the eve of such an important occasion.
“I love you, Ryuji. Please come back to me,” a smile was shared between the two of them and he nodded, a wink added for good measure before he left the office and returned to his men to lead the charge to Kamurocho. Left behind, Melissa had nothing to do but hope for good news - and she had no idea back then that these wouldn’t come.
But, somehow... His promise wouldn’t be broken; it would take more time than either of them had anticipated, however one day they would be reunited in the same Osaka that had brought them together originally.
