ivaios asked: 🍁 + what's something that brings yozora happiness no matter what?
⚔️ *:・゚✧┆send 🍁 + a question about my muse! ❪ always accepting! ❫
This is a question Yozora himself could not provide an answer to, because his definition of ‘𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒’ is extremely skewed. He regards happiness as something which he ( as a part machine, part god of death ), is unable to genuinely experience: be it physically because he doesn’t have a beating heart, or morally because Death is undeserving of happiness. He denies mortals of happiness on a daily basis after severing the souls of their loved ones-- why should he ever be happy with himself?
However, there are specific things that provide Yozora a sense of temporary relief from the loss he encounters or creates. Yozora is ‘happiest’ when he has a strong sense of 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐌𝐘. Freedom is something Yozora had been chasing his entire life, for he was denied of any sense of independence from birth. He was traded like paperwork between his manipulative mother and the abusive corporation that forged him into a machine. He was then made to serve Gigas Corporation as their puppet king, imprisoned within the walls of their headquarters for the entirety of his childhood and adolescence. Even after escaping Gigas Corporation, Yozora was no sooner approached by the Watchmen of Fate and was ascended as a god, and arguably, he is now serving the forces of destiny in the place of his creators. So Yozora heavily values those brief moments of autonomy, where he feels in complete control of the direction of his life and fate. Be it through the command of the Watchmen, or simply when he travels alone.
Yozora also feels ‘happiest’ when people 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘-- i.e, like an ordinary human-- and not like a king, god, machine, or even a monster. For all of those identities have such negative connotations for Yozora, relating to his time in Gigas Corporation. Being treated as ‘unusual’ or ‘inhuman’-- such as people pointing out his heterochromia or technomancy-- reminds him that he’s not fully human, but part machine. Being treated like royalty or divinity reminds him of the false worship by his creators, crowning him as the ‘saviour of humanity’. Whilst Yozora has come to terms with his title as the ‘𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐔𝐌 𝐑𝐄𝐗’, and has accepted his fate as the god of death, he hates being hailed as a ‘higher power’ and much prefers to keep his identity and purpose a secret unless absolutely necessary. When people talk to him without formality, and allow him his moments of privacy and reprieve, Yozora feels most at ease.

SONGS FOR BYLETH / @bardicwine / no longer accepting !
↳ 🎧 + 6 : a song that represents my muse's world view
||. I was honestly a little bit surprised by just how many people asked no.6, but then I remembered that Byleth's world view is fairly complex, given how she changes between routes. For context, my particular Byleth is from the blue lions route, specifically the middle of its "war phase". So, I think we'll start there.
For those who don't know, by the time the war breaks out for Byleth, she's lost a lot of the stability she was just beginning to really understand for herself. Friends she'd made in her students scattered, then reconvened, but for them five years had passed, and for her it had been but an instant. The crux of the Blue Lions house, Dimitri, has gone absolutely mad, and by the canon point I've taken Byleth from, he's been mad for about four in-game months straight. This is not counting the time he'd been mad during the five years he had survived on his own.
Needless to say that Byleth and the rest of the blue lions house felt a little downtrodden. Their troops were low on resources and scrambling to put up a defensive front against the Empire, their own morale was wavering due to Dimitri's impulsive actions and insatiable desire for revenge... And for Byleth, that meant everyone was looking to her to make a miracle. Win the war, keep them all alive, and most importantly: break through Dimitri's madness long enough to get their friend back.
This was... in short, an overwhelming time for her. She never really gets time to regain her bearings in that way, save for her former students and Byleth all feeling the same way. There was a solace in that, and more than anything else, Byleth believes in Dimitri. He helped her grow into herself and, in her mind, showed her, and taught her how to feel, to live, and to be something like 'human'.
I think the best song to describe the dour tone but persistent hope in Byleth is the song MAKE ME BELIEVE by The EverLove
(Lyrics and spotify under cut)
Dance with me into the darkness
where the light cannot follow
where the spirits are broken
And their hearts are all hollow
I believe that there is courage
but it's burning like ash in the wind
and I'm broken to pieces
begging to be whole again
When the world falls apart
and the sky starts to fall
When I'm lost in the dark
and I'm risking it all
When I look to the skies
and I fall to my knees
will you give me a sign?
Will you make me, make me believe?
There's more, obviously, but if the youtube link doesn't work and you prefer spotify:

affectionate gestures / @sxnburst / ACCEPTING.
↳ [ push ] - to push the loose strand of your muse’s hair behind your muse’s ear
⚔️ // of course , sun had always been kind. he’d always been gentle. of these traits , byleth could never be surprised. but there were times with the shift in him that byleth found her faith ... wavering all over again. after all , the look in his eyes , even if it only been brief as the twilight’s haze , haunted still. he had peered right through her. had scowled upon her as though she were a blight upon his very existence. she had disgusted him. byleth would not soon forget it.
they had been speaking together , and this whirlwind of thought consumed. byleth found herself falling into a pensive silence , trying to rectify his past with his present and her truths.
he SAID that they were friends. that he wanted to continue to be. but would they truly remain that way? what if he changed his mind?
would he be glad to call her his companion as the time went on? would he want to stay by her side , when her strange new feelings ran rampant in her? when they tumbled and spilled out of her in an overflow?
would he reach for her hand as he used to? would he let her take his , when she needed to? he wasn’t wrong to worry. he was different. he had changed. it was just that , maybe he had changed so much that she would find herself a discarded thing as he moved forward. or , maybe he would see her again for the ashen demon that she was , and could be , as so many had for so long. in that case , how could she truly blame him? that he might catch a glimpse of her bloodstained hands , with no inkling of humanity to her , and find it oh , so repulsive.
she blinked , and felt the pressure of his presence from far away. with it , her mind raced back to the present moment.
byleth found herself tense beneath his touch. frozen in place and in time as her thoughts sputtered and stalled and she tried and failed to comprehend it all. sun had placed his hands on her shoulders , as if to steady her. and in that moment , byleth was reminded again that sun was still kind. he was still gentle. and he was careful with her , when he offered a smile and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. like he had done when he’d gifted her the butterfly pin.
“are you okay?” he asked. struck mute , byleth could only nod her response at first. but with a clearing of her throat and a shift of weight , byleth straightened. it would not do her well to dwell on such gloomy thoughts. she must have faith in him. and she must hold on to that faith tightly , as she had with dimitri , and as her blue lions had held for her in turn.
“let’s go for a walk.” she said when her voice returned to her. she reached out , and threaded her fingers between his before hoisting him to his feet alongside her. “fresh air and exercise is conductive to a sound mind.”

give byleth a hug ! / @eusyram / ACCEPTING !
↳ Send 🫂 to just hug my muse. No reason. Hug them.
⚔️ // all byleth had said was that she would be gladdened to invite mary sue to a tea party. it seemed , though , that the invitation was enough to send the girl into a whirlwind of fancy. byleth was still as the girl crashed her weight into her , and threw her arms around her.
... but then , maybe she found delight in tea parties , the same as byleth did.
“i’ll take this response as a ‘yes’.” byleth chuckled, “come , then. i’ve plenty to spare.”

He didn't know what to say. Well, that's not true. He knew exactly what he wanted to. He stared at the phone for quite some time. It'd been so long. Three weeks of uncertainty and unknowing, running into lost people in the mists. Having not seen others since the mist finally cleared. He had to know. He had to make sure. He couldn't take the pain anymore.
[to: Byleth]
[from: Donald Duck]
[txt] Hi Byleth
[txt] are you okay? (deleted)
[txt] it's been a long time (deleted)
[txt] I just wanted to check in on you
[txt] I'm really worried about my friends right now (deleted)
[txt] And to make sure that you got home okay after the mist stuff
[txt] please, take care of yourself
[txt] I need to hear from you (deleted)
[txt] I'm here for you
⚔️ // her talk with ismael days ago had reminded byleth that there were certain friends who might try to contact her through the cellphone service. so when she got the tiny 'ping' , at first she had thought it might be ismael , still worrying and wondering over her.
only.... it was another friend entirely.
[ text ; donald. ] Dear Donald,
I am glad to hear from you. You have my apologies if I have caused you some level of concern. I am alright. I hope you are as well.
Why don't I stop by your sea vessel, so that we can talk in person? I can bring tea.
Sincerely,
Byleth Eisner.

This is probably the most elaborate cookie she's made yet, but some girls are worth the effort! And so, Mary Sue gingerly deposits her creation outside Byleth's door before running outside to make a wish upon the stars!
Meanwhile, the inside of the overly-elaborate heart-shaped + cupid jewelry cookie box only has a single written note:
DON'T FORGET ME 🥺 - Mary Sue
⚔️ // "..."
byleth lifted the cookie from its box and marveled at the sight. it was ... so ornate. almost too ornate to consider a real sweet. she reread the note from inside and very carefully transported both to her sitting room desk.
in a short paper letter addressed to mary sue later that day:
Dear Mary Sue,
Thank you for the gift. It is quite impressive.
You are more than welcome to join me for tea around late noon, if you would like. I've only obligation to bake cookies with a student of mine earlier than that.
You have my thanks,
Byleth Eisner.

UNPROMPTED / @fatalmenace / ALWAYS ACCEPTING !
to: byleth
from: kronya
'let's continue on where we left at fodlan...'
'i won't tell you the place where we should meet.'
'here is a clue. a forest~'
⚔️ // byleth had vowed to herself that she would NEVER give this woman a response. it was what kronya wanted and so , was the LAST THING that byleth would ever want to give.
she had told herself , too , after the day she split the heavens into two , that she would never again allow the newfound emotions that thundered within to get the better of her. ( too many lives at risk. too many hands that reached to hers for GUIDANCE. )
only , now her BLOOD BOILED the same way it had when kronya had first showed her face in this realm. only , her chest ached with the gravity of a thousand suns. the silver shine of her sword in its sheath as the moonlight filtered in from above hadn’t looked so TEMPTING since . . .
not since her whole world had been ripped from her with nothing but blood and blade.
she stared the weapon down. she KNEW temptation ran amok with honeyed lies. she KNEW that this was nothing more than another TRAP FOR THE FELL STAR , the same as before.
so she sat.
. . . and she FELT.
. . . some vows . . .
they were meant to be broken.
[ text ; kronya ] I will not be late.

'hope one of these days, you'll bleed just like your friend.'
'don't worry, she's not dead. i just gave her a cut since i fought her~'
'you know her right?'
⚔️ // hardened steel sharpened her gaze as byleth looked down at the instant-letter device. an old , bitter FIRE licked hot at her heels. burned hot within her chest at the name that dared to send word once again.
and despite knowing better by now , byleth read that woman’s words anyways.
'hope one of these days, you'll bleed just like your friend.'
her eyes narrowed.
'don't worry, she's not dead.
nails dug crescent-moons deep into her palms.
'you know her right?'
who.....?
lysithea? would have contacted. immediately. lady rhea? byleth - somehow - felt she might know. ... edelgard? was an enemy of the church. corvus? they’d never met. so then . . .
byleth’s blood ran cold.

EXHAUSTION STARTERS / @areadri / LATE MEME IS LATE ;;v;;
↳ (cover) : one muse finds the other asleep somewhere other than bed and covers them with a blanket / their jacket / (their cloak !!)
⚔️ // byleth had known better than to patrol so late at night and yet she had done so anyways. the decision had been a sporadic one. based more on restlessness than of sound logic. but when the nights dragged on too long and the SILENCE of an empty abode grew deafening , she supposed it was much better to TRY and stay productive.
but there were no student goals to ponder over or exams to grade. no students at all , to usher back to their dormitories for a curfew of seteth’s design.
cotes was quiet.
and so byleth had taken her blade and strapped its sheath to her belt. she had taken to the streets in the biting cold and marched her own route through the streets and wilds of the ward , until her feet finally settled beneath the beginning of the mist-wood canopy.
only here did her fatigue catch up to her. a deep-seated DROWSINESS that she knew well from sothis’ presence. byleth stifled a yawn and blinked at the bare branches of the trees and the moon that glowed beyond them. sighed. then , stood with her back flush against the nearest gnarled trunk , only to slowly slide down until she was curled against its roots. her coat grew damp from the silver snow.
there was no blue sea star here.
none of the constellations were the same.
and byleth could not help but wonder , as she stared into the night: were her blue lions gazing up at a similar sky? were they safe? or were their times cut SHORT without her guiding hand?
byleth let her eyes fall shut as she willed the thoughts away.
she would have to work harder — . . .
find a way . . .
. . . to get dimitri and herself . . . back home.
there wouldn’t — COULDN’T — be rest for her until - . . .
. . . until . . . .
. . .
it would not be too long before the professor began to stir. the moon was still high in the distant sky. in the dim and the darkness , byleth blinked herself awake , eyes a BLEARY flutter of lashes and ethereal green. she was tired . . . and warm . . . and — not in her room.
alarm spiked through byleth. TENSION knotted her shoulders and spun every fiber of her being like taut wire. it was a DANGEROUS GAME to tempt fate in the wilds. ( she knew better. she was not one to sink into sleep so. )
but the night was QUIET and , beyond the blustering of the midnight wind and the slow twirl of the snow fall . . . all was still. save for her own breathing. and the slow , even breaths of another soul nearby.
his was a familiar silhouette stationed close in solitude. a bent , but tall form with a lance in hand. his dark armor’s steely GLINT the only thing that kept the man from blending right into the shadows and disappearing altogether.
it was unmistakably dimitri , even with his back towards her.
“. . .” quite quickly did byleth close her eyes again , lest the glow of them give her brief awakening away. still , she knew he was nearby. still as stone and equally as stalwart in his silent vigil. byleth wasn’t quite sure what to make of it. he’d made PLENTY clear he was bent to bury the heart of the boy she had once taught and trained. ( and so still the doubt trickled in , a drip-feed of ice through her veins. ) did he merely feel OBLIGATED to be here? and why would he be? she still drew breath. ( or perhaps - the hope in her dared to muse - he was not so immune to their bonds of friendship as he so claimed. )
black furs tickled at her cheeks with each shallow breath. the warmth of the cloak did little to assuage the fatigue that wore byleth’s consciousness thin , pondering such thoughts. battling ice with the flutter of tempered hope , byleth curled her fingers into the darkest of the furs. she nestled herself further into the blue fabric. doubting. hoping. wishing. praying.
the cloak was far too big for her , byleth’s sleep-addled brain noted. he was probably cold . . . came the next bleary thought. but her eyes were heavy with the sleep that had long evaded her. and the warmth that surrounded her. paired with the quietness of the night , it was in itself a beckoning call.
MAYBE . . . she could rest . . .
. . . for just a little while longer . . . .

FALL SENTENCE STARTERS / @celestiialnotes / ACCEPTING.
↳ “Bonfires and apple cider are in my future.” - Sylvain
⚔️ // green eyes flit to sylvain , looking him up and down before turning back to the kingdom and church armies. the fall was beginning to set in. how FITTING it was , that victory was finally in sight. that as the push of faerghus and garreg mach came to its last stand , the land was slowly , naturally , began to shift and fade into a period of rest.
“a fine future indeed.” she nodded , and looped her arms behind her back, “and one well deserved.” a tilt of the head , a glimmer of light in the eyes. her lips tugged into a small smile. “would you be opposed to ... perhaps , helping to set up such a venture for the troops? as a means of boosting morale.”

Character in general: so i’m mostly gonna talk about your El bc that’s the one i’m definitely the most familiar with (in general but also having have written with) but for the record i think ALL of the muses you’ve chosen are all so cool??? wtf bro good taste. BUT !! I really like edelgard !! i don’t... agree with like 90% of her plan, but frankly it’s cos of that that i love her SO much?? she’s such a fantastic villain with a lot of moral ambiguity going on. and every day i sit cry a whole lot bc i just !!!???? she’d make such an unstoppable hero.... what with her unshakeable will.... her care for the future.... and for her friends... !!! =v=;; it’s such a shame she plays right into slithers’ plans even in her own route, even if she does intend to screw ‘em over... she’s so tragic.... and so flawed.... and i think that’s what makes her so special she’s just SO COOL.
How they play them: so let me tell u something your writing is utterly fantastic???? it’s so poetic and pretty.... very elegant. and that’s across the board w all of your muses! :D from the snippets i’ve read here and there it’s all just... so nice. very pleasant to read !!! and as far as specifically your edelgard, i think she’s lovely !!! i like the complexity you bring to her and how you go about funneling it out in the prose !!!
The Mun: we don’t talk super often bc timezones + affiliation BUT !!! the conversations we have had, however brief, have been so lovely !! :’D and i would absolutely love to talk w you more !!! i am just a weenie baby ....
