I realize i redecorate my house everytime im progging something difficult for i guess sanity reasons. Progging FRU and being at Darklit Dragonsong means my house has been demolished and now rebuilt once more its not entirely done but i think im kinda happy with it, will have to see once every slot is filled/stuff is dyed but yippee

[windup-scholar]

My partner @vagabond-sol took pictures of the boys cuddling and he said he didn’t really like them but I personally adore it no matter its flaws or the lighting or clipping im literally in love with it. All while we were afk doing irl stuff.

I need more pictures of the boys enjoying eachothers presence and i will tape this to every lightpost forcing everyone to WITNESS THEM. Vanilla gpose or not LOOK AT THEM IM INSANE. Cazhim and Xavier official brainrot post!!!!

“While the Sin Eaters are mostly dealt with, the Crystalline Mean can always use an extra pair of hands. Should be a good change of pace.”

@windup-scholar and I did some glams for our main 3 crafters so here’s a little shoot with one set.

[vagabond-sol]

Cazhim, out of breath but smiling - “That…was incredible, Xavier! Those moves, that confidence…I think I’ve fallen in love all over again.”

Xavier, through a flustered laugh - “I’ve missed you too, my love and I’ll be keeping up with you from now on. We’re partners after all!”

Thanks @windup-scholar for hanging with me for all the photo shenanigans!

🎁 and 🧸 :3

1. What kind of gift giver are they?

“Ah this one’s easy. Practical gifts to friends and thoughtful gifts to romantic partners or very close friends. I mean I’m sure it’s obvious why thoughtful gifts are only for people I know rather well but I can explain the tendency towards the practical. In fact I believed I’ve mentioned before that I make the gifts I give. Adds a personal touch and, hopefully, let’s them know I cared a decent bit. Maybe I’ll even make something for you afterwards.” His words came with a warm friendly grin. It was clear he enjoyed the act of gift giving quiet a bit as well.

2. On a 1-10 scale (10 being soft teddy bear and 1 being edge master) how soft is your OC?

“Uh…I guess a 2 or 3?” The man shrugged as he answered, unsure if his own measurements would mirror what his friends would say. “I’m no cry baby but, even after everything you still have to have a bit of compassion and sensitivity, right?”

As for what I, Sol if you will, thinks I’d say he’s a 4 or 5. He’s a good guy at his core and blatantly wants to be good…but he’s had it rough. Not in any sort of special cosmic way but it was still rough. He had to grow some emotional callouses or else he wouldn’t be here…also definitely still kills people with his bare hands on the regular so he can only be so cuddly regardless of his pleasant attitude and moral standing.

Thank you my dear, @windup-scholar . Your questions are always fun.

[vagabond-sol]

@windup-scholar and I finished up Eureka not too long ago so we took a little trip back to take some photos! I hope you enjoy them!

Layers Upon Layers: Cazhim

One: Outside Layer

[Name:] “Cazhim Delrune”

[Hair Style & Colour:] “Short Undercut. My hair is light gray.” He pulls at what little hair peeks out from beneath his bandana.

[Eye Color:] “Hazel and my limbral rings are a pale green”

[Height:] “6 fulms 7 ilms last I checked”

[Style:] “Anything lightweight, comfortable and practical. Essential qualities for a traveler.”

[Best Physical Feature:] “A lot of people seem to like the eyes I suppose...or maybe it’s the height.”

Two: Inner Layer

[Fears:] “Dying when I’m still needed.”

[Guilty Pleasure:] “No need to feel guilty about anything I take pleasure in. I’ve earned it.”

[Biggest Pet Peeve:] “Don’t half-ass things. If you’re going to try something give it your all or you’re just wasting time.”

[Ambition for the Future:] “Living to retire comfortably with my boyfriend after having left the realm better than we found it.”

Three: Thoughts

[First Thought When Waking Up:] “My schedule I suppose. What workout to do, what meal to eat for breakfast, what to tinker with later if time permits...normally I’d consider meditating but...crafting and maintenance have become my meditation these days”

[What You Think About the Most:] “Depends. In the field? I’m always considering how best to move forward towards our goals. Can’t get a job done right if you only wait and react. On my free days though? Xavier, checking supplies or tinkering. In that order.”

[What You Think About Before Bed:] “I just do a quick rundown on what I need to be doing the next day. Who needs what and all that. So more scheduling.”

[Your Best Quality Is:] “I’d say...empathy. I’ve seen a lot and I don’t mean that as some tasteless brag. I mean after years of running and fighting and...all of this. He says motioning to the circumstances and choices that led him here. I’m glad I can still understand others even if they are not my own or if they are my enemy. Even as I strike them down...hmm a little dark huh? How about determination?”

Four: What’s Better

[Single or Group Dates?] “Heh. A group date sounds like a mess waiting to happen. Single”

[To be Loved or to be Respected?] “Respect. To be loved by the people in totality is unnecessary and perhaps a bit daunting. Respect is something that we all need though.”

[Beauty or Brains?] “Brains if I have to pick one. Beauty has its benefits but I am not one who would wields them well.”

[Cats or Dogs?] “Sorry friend, but my answer is both and that will not change. I will say that my childhood guardian kept a cat. Grew up big too.” There is an air of loving nostalgia on his words.

Five: Do you…

[Lie?]  “I omit the truth when I need to.”

[Believe in Yourself?] “Always.”

[Believe in Love?]  “I am in love.”

[Want Someone?] “I already have him.” His replies come quick and sure.

Six: Have you ever…

[Been on Stage?] “Briefly. Not for me.”

[Done Drugs?] “No. I may not keep to my meditations like I used to but I still abstain from drugs and the like.”

[Changed Yourself to Fit In Somewhere?] “Yes. As I imagine all foreigners did to some degree when making a home here. But I am who I am now.”

Seven: Favorite

[Favorite Color:] “Used to be orange but blue is really growing on me. I assume my new attire gave that away though.” He motions to his outfit with a smile and a flourish of the hand.

[Favorite Food:] “Nomad Pies still. Crunchy, savory and easy to eat while traveling.”

[Favorite Game:] “I...don’t know. Been a while since I played anything. Hm..”

Eight: Age

[When Your Next Birthday Will Be:] “1st Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon. Still a fair while before it rolls around again.”

[How Old Will You Be?] “I should be (Mid-Late twenties post Shadowbringers. Don’t like to commit due to the weird timeline stuff)

[Age You Lost Your Virginity:] “Hm. Don’t feel like talking about my sex life today. Try again some other time.”

[Does Age Matter?] “It helps in a lot of cases but experience is more important than raw age.”

Nine: In a partner

[Best Personality:] “Intelligent, passionate, good natured. Those draw me in but the little things, like how he accidentally thinks out loud or that hidden playfulness one wouldn’t expect from a master of the arcane and accomplished author.”

[Best Eye Colour:]  “Can’t say it really comes up.”

[Best Hair Colour:] “One they like I suppose.”

[Best Thing to do With a Partner:] “Chat hours away about each other’s passions. Shared or not. Something about seeing him light up and just talk and smile uncontrollably truly and deeply makes me happy.”

Ten: Finish the sentence

[I Love…] “Xavier.”

[I Feel…] “...fine.”

[I Hide…] “When I need to?”

[I Miss…] “Ms.Snow”

[I Wish…]  “the world would hang on to quiet peaceful moments a little longer.”

Noticing your posture relax he speaks. “All out of questions for now? Well, thank you. Its simple but it’s fun to chat even if it’s just you probing. Another time then? Safe travels.” He nods politely before turning back to his people watching.

And thank you @eligos-venator for tagging me! As always it’s fun to do these.

As for who I tag? I’ll go with @windup-scholar since he won’t mind the mention. Don’t wanna poke too many people since I saw a lot of familiar people in tags already. As always if you spot this and haven’t been tagged you should give it a whirl. Maybe even tag me so I can check it out.

10, and 15 💕

10. If your muse could have any animal as a pet what would it be?

Hmmm tough question. I can easily say Cazhim is a cat lover but I don’t think he’d want to keep a pet until he retired so he can personally tend to them. I think he’d be the sort to befriend city cats or befriend a wild cat (big or small) that is comfortable with him in its territory.

15. What is your muse’s primary love language?

Ah I figured you’d pick that. Well while Cazhim can put on the “talker” facade during an adventure he is someone who definitely favors non-verbal displays of affection. He is the sort to give gifts and be touchy (hugs, shoulder touch, etc.) as a sign of friendship but for romance he mostly displays that as just a desire to share or have quality time as the question put it. He’ll want to share food, stories, spaces, everything. As someone who generally takes time to shut out the world somewhat regularly you will become his exception. You will know him inside and out and he will know you through and through.

Hopefully I’ve given a satisfying response. Honestly it took some time to get a proper answer as I continue flesh out who exactly Cazhim is. It was a helpful question!
