3, 4, 13, 14, and 18 for jymaiyri?

oc ask game

ofc! my girl lives forever in my brain so i am happy to answer questions about her :]

3. weapon of choice? any particular reason they chose their weapon?

jymaiyri is among the minority of the savant in that she does regularly engage in combat, and when she does engage in combat she most often does so using her magic. one of my earliest concepts for the young gods magic system was change mages (the type of magic jyr has) using their magic to change what weapon they're using mid-fight. so, tldr- all of them. i feel like jymaiyri often defaults to certain weapons more than others- those certain weapons being paired shortswords, spears, and throwing knives. she's very light on her feet in combat, and will adapt quickly to whatever scenario she's in.

4. how crafty/resourceful are they?

jymaiyri is very resourceful. as explained above, her fighting style consists mostly of adapting to her situation on the spot, and this mirrors her approach to everyday, noncombatitive problems. jymaiyri's change magic lends itself to resourcefulness- rather than the spontaneous creation war mages can accomplish, change mages must work with what they're given. jymaiyri also has a very strong 'i'm going to crawl from the mud i was born in into the light of day' mindset, where she truly believes she's gained everything she has through her resourcefulness and wit. girlboss

13. what languages do they speak? how fluently?

languages are weird in young gods because i not only have to contend with different regional languages, but languages from different time periods. tho, roughly, i can say that jymaiyri is fluent in a handful of languages. her native tongue is an extinct dialect of old north lunarian, and she speaks middle lunarian and modern lunarian fluently, in both northern and southern dialects. the spoken language used throughout most of young gods is modern trade jalagone (an international lingua franca of sorts) so, for the purposes of plot, she's fluent in that too. she's mildly well versed (haha) in older dialects of regional jalagone, sky plains, loucari, and solarian languages, though she probably couldn't hold a conversation in the modern variations of those languages. i also like to think she knows a bit of old west loucari (the language juno speaks, which coincidentally makes him sound like a cowboy) as he would've taught her. linguistics is fun

14. are they any good with numbers?

of all the savant, jymaiyri is 4th best at math (she only beats sadihak). it's not that she's bad at math, she's just the type of person who can't keep numbers straight in her head or do mental math. and unfortunately the three other non-sadihak savant have their own reasons to be very good at math. petrai's entire passion is collecting dates and numbers and statistics, so she's very good at quick mental math. han's an architect, so he just knows how to do math well, and juno is so good at memorizationand just simply counting, he beats jymaiyri. for someone so dedicated to science, she is kinda bad at math. but she's not terrible. (sadihak is tho)

18. their opinion on lying, stealing, and killing?

these are three seperate answers

lying: jymaiyri has never and will never lie about anything. she values the truth and she holds it in high regard. she makes everything about herself very clear- if she has an opinion about you, you'll know. if she finds out that you've been lying to her, you're in a lot of trouble. jymaiyri does not take betrayal lightly, and thus would never betray or backstab anyone (unless she's already made it clear she hates them). when it comes to the truth, jymaiyri is a very open textbook. she knows what she wants, and she'll make sure you know.

stealimg: tbh i do not think jymaiyri would give two fucks about theft. she's against the theft of research and is for the theft of necessities but other than that i honestly dont think she'd care too much. living for thousands of years distorts one's perceptions of physical, personal property, i think.

killing: jymaiyri is pro murder as long as she can justify it. the most common justifications for her murders are 'for science' and revenge, with the occasional tree cannibalism thrown in. if she can't justify killing someone, she's against it, but those cases tend to be rare. jymaiyri believes that the ends justify the means, and accomplishing her goals is always a worthy ends.

feel free to send me more oc asks! this was a ton of fun :]

Thinking about the Fate-unravelling incantation once again.

Moros spoke of how he was not only the Fates' brother but also their guardian, and that they raised him under their watch. He was privy to their weavings, as the sole emissary to this trio of all-powerful, reclusive deities whose threads bind even the gods.

So, surely, he was there when Nyx met with the Fates to bring Zagreus back to life? We know that quite a lot of Nyx's children are old old—Thanatos has known Megaera much longer than Zagreus has ever been alive, yet he is implied to be one of the younger or at least middle children—so it's not entirely out of the question that Moros is already grown up enough to work with and for the Fates.

Moros knew of the price and consequences of defying the Fates' weavings. Of which their Mother, the Primordial Night herself, refuses to speak about even to this day, whatever terrible things it cost her or involved. She doesn't even allow any discussion about the Fates themselves, either. It was THAT bad and that's all we need to know.

It speaks volumes of how dire the present situation is, and how much Moros wants to assist Melinoë's task—not just help it, but make it possible in the first place (re: her bloodline curse)—that he straight up defies the top brass of the celestial bureaucracy by doing the godly equivalent of a younger sibling who overheard his older siblings had put some leftovers in the fridge to eat later, then went and stole the food for himself when they left the house.

Oh Moros, you've got it bad. At least you don't officially condone Mel's actions. We all know that's how bureaucracy works, right?

young mags looks just like pietro 😭😭😭 this is so sick 😭😭 his floating hair and shining eyes 😭

[everysongineverykey]

to elaborate on the fnaf movie: the animatronics looked awesome. they played talking in your sleep by the romantics which rules. none of the characters were particularly gripping or well-developed but matthew lillard looked like he was having a TON of fun as william afton and who can blame him. yes i clapped and cheered when matpat said "it's just a theory". yes i clapped and cheered when afton said "i always come back". yes i clapped and cheered when they played the living tombstone's seminal masterpiece in the end credits. i had so so much fun. absolutely recommend if you just wanna see fun robot murder with cool animatronics and occasional hijinx. god i wanna see it again now

Just answer the question. What are you? Are you sure you know? You have to be sure of what you are, and what you are going to be.

I think Freminet has some of the most interesting dissonance in his self perception of any Genshin character.

Like, of the Hearthlings we know, he's one of the most emotionally mature and intelligent. Lynette might still have him beat, but after playing her hangout... I dunno. I think they're tied. Lyney is Crumbling, Alrecchino is. Well. Arlecchino. Everyone else is a deeply traumatized child or adult and Freminet seems to pretty regularly be people's emotional support. His character stories talk about getting his vision by saving a bunch of other kids on a dive that went bad. The Selkie event literally had him being a therapist for a grownass woman, citing his past experiences with all the other Hearthlings that have died or killed themselves. And he handled that situation WELL. Yeah, he seems to live in a fantasy, but goddamn he's alive and a lot of people in his position aren't so clearly something is working.

Either his or Lyney's character story talks about the time Freminet had reached out to Lyney to try to ease his burdens, which resulted in Lyney blowing up at him. That probably contributed to Freminet thinking he's not good at it, but I think the reason Lyney reacted so badly was BECAUSE Freminet is actually a good support. He can't allow himself that from the little brother he's supposed to protect.

Freminet seems to both cry and dissociate often, but like... Kiddo you are in fact the only person in this family actually processing your emotions. Lynette dissociates 24/7. Arlecchino. Lyney lies and tells everyone he's fine and would literally rather die than admit otherwise. In comparison, Freminet is doing FANTASTIC

Freminet also gets a lot out of helping people! Like anyone, he needs to feel useful and needed. He seems to be an excellent mentor to the younger Hearthlings and perfectly competent on his own, but when you put him in a room with Lyney and Lynette who baby him and insist that THEY take care of HIM, he withdraws into himself.

Like, Freminet by himself feels like a young man and Freminet with the magician twins feels like a teenager. I have no idea how old he actually is. Logically, he would be OLDER than them! He's been with the House much, much longer and his experience shows. I think it's fascinating that they love him SO MUCH and yet, they just Cannot let him help them. Which is hurting him.

(Lynette is much better about not babying him and that is probably why their relationship is so much better than Freminet and Lyney's. Also why she keeps having to mediate between them. Because Lyney charges off trying to Fix Everything and that just makes Freminet feel useless and he doesn't want to get in the way and- you get the point)

Idk. It's hard to tell what things the previous director said to him vs what Arlecchino has said to him. I'm inclined to think our Arlecchino was the one that said he cries too much, but in a "crying in front of your enemies will get you killed" way and she herself is too fucked up to realize how "you cry too much" could be damaging.

Also I try not to consider gameplay stuff when it comes to story, but Freminet also has some of the most BRUTAL animations. He SMASHES HIS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT METAL PENGUIN INTO HIS ENEMY'S FACE. He doesn't think he's the most amazing fighter, and by Fatui standards he probably isn't, but he is winning fights against most grown men.

Tldr Freminet thinks he cries too much and is a burden and isn't good at helping people when he's actually the most mentally stable Hearthling send tweet

so one of the reasons jamie is so into sightseeing is because it reminds him of the good trip he took with his mom... which they partially took in order to replace the memories of his traumatic trip with his dad. I’m gonna lose it.

Thinking about the tragedy of the corrupted father and the abandoned sons.

Arthur watched the man he thought of as a father crumble like the dying embers of a campfire, each spark a piece of trust just lost to the wind.

And it gnawed at him, the man who once gave him purpose had led him into shadows, leaving him to face the embrace of death alone.

Dutch turned his back on Arthur, and then turned his back again to John.

The weight of love, trust, and loss all rolled into one painful spiral. The cycle carried on.
