😱, 💍, 🐱, 💛, 🔮, 🤷‍♀️, 🧸 & 😍 for my beloved Lyssa 😗💜

send an emoji and i’ll answer the corresponding question about my muse!

[ 😱 ] does your muse have any specific fears? where did those fears come from?

not really. she came to fear malekith a bit after seeing him sacrifice the majority of his own people to save his own skin (and get some payback against bor and his army). it was less fear and more anger though. fear is a feeling she’s not especially used to, because she has always been the most dangerous thing in most rooms and weaker emotions like fear were beaten out of her young. she feared thanos, in the sense that he had such tremendous power at his fingertips. she still fears losing her loved ones.

[ 💍 ] does your muse have a “type” of people that they prefer to enter relationships with? is their type generally compatible with them, or does the dynamic tend to be toxic?

lyssa has had only a handful of serious relationships in her long lifetime, and always tended to gravitate towards quieter, more stoic people. it’s not that she dislikes extroverted or loud people (she is friends with livia, after all safgsd) but she has always prefered being in romantic or sexual relationships with people who can appreciate just sitting with your thoughts. she likes having more varied friends though, and isn’t attracted to a specific kind of person when it comes to being friends (although most of her friends are quite traumatised rip).

[ 🐱 ] does your muse have pets? did they have pets as a child? how do they feel about animals?

no. she’s never been very good with animals and also never had the space for one - living on a massive space ship while being brought in and out of stasis for five thousand years wasn’t really the best environment for pets. her and bucky might adopt a cat or something though. i can see them having a black stray.

[ 💛 ] how empathetic is your muse? how compassionate are they? is this something people expect from them, or are people surprised when they find out how compassionate or empathetic they actually are?

not very. it’s not that she doesn’t care, but she’s never been very good at empathising with other people, mostly because she’s never really understood her own emotions very well. even after she’s been on earth for a while and has learned to be a bit softer around the edges, she still struggles with kindness and compassion. it’s such a foreign thing to lyssa, but she’s trying. most of the time her compassion comes off as a bit begruding though.

[ 🔮 ] what is your muse’s relationship with religion and spirituality? were they raised in a certain religion? have they stuck with the same set of spiritual beliefs all their life, or have they changed over time? are they settled in their spirituality now?

she’s never considered herself a particlarly religious person, but she was raised learning about the beliefs of the dark elves and wasn’t entirely against the idea. the only real belief she has kept all these years later is the dark elven thoughts around death, and that your essence is returned to the dark matter in the corners of the universe when you die. she likes to think she’d be welcomed, because she doesn’t think she’d be let into the asgardian afterlife despite her blood. 

[ 🤷‍♀️ ] how does your muse approach strangers? how does this compare to how they interact with close friends or lovers?

lyssa is generally a bit standoffish and abrasive, or at least she appears that way. the fact that she has a very harsh resting bitch face doesn’t help. these days she’ll try at being friendly but it doesn’t always work. she doesn’t like being recognised on the street. 

[ 🧸 ] does your muse keep anything sentimental? if so, what do they keep and why?

no. lyssa has never been a sentimental person and never had many personal belongings to be sentimental over - being able to create anything with her powers made things easy to replace. she tends to create her sword in the same style as she has for centuries though, if that counts. 

[ 😍 ] does your muse believe in true love? why or why not?

she never used to. she still doesn’t, not really. she believes in love though, and the power of it, and as much as she fought it she knows she’s in love with bucky. for lyssa, that’s enough.
