Carmy as Your Baby Daddy | Social Media AU & Headcanon Series | part one

masterlist | part two now that i've finished my top gun: maverick series, it's me i'm back and gearing up for season two. after a bout of food poisoning, i finally cracked and am writing this pregnancy headcanon that i said i wouldn't bc my ovaries would explode (looking at you @allthefandomstogether). anyways, a huge thank you to @carmensberzattos who pinged many an ideas back and forth about carmy as your baby daddy and screamed into the abyss about this on a friday night. i'm writing this with my main character from the make your heart surrender-verse, but can absolutely read as a standalone piece. posting now because i'm so damn excited but i may go back and add some more things later.

oh and this a headcanon series now so. that part.

carmy as your baby daddy:

sometime after the wedding, you and carmy decide that you're ready to start a family. you're not trying but you're not not trying, meaning you've gone off of birth control but you're not carefully monitoring your ovulation cycle either. you both figure that it'll happen when it happens and if it doesn't, there are many other ways to make a family.

carmy never really thought about having kids until the two of you got together. after adopting your kitty together, carmy got to see a your more nurturing side and taking care of something together as a team made him think about how much he wants a family with you. after sugar has her baby it really ups the ante. seeing carmy become an uncle is what starts the conversation about seriously starting a family, and every time carmy sees you holding the baby, it's 'when our kids this, and when our kids that' for days after.

you swear it's food poisoning. after a somewhat questionable late night meal, you spend half the night vomiting while carmy works a later night at the restaurant. you text him to bring ginger ale and tums home. of course he comes through because are you kidding this man is a caretaker?!

you insist that you're fine and much better, even though you're absolutely exhausted. things are so busy at work for you (and have i mentioned the pregnancy fatigue) that you don't think much of it when a few nights later, you find yourself kneeling on the bathroom floor once again.

there are always little kids running around at the extended family gatherings and which led to your realization (when you first met everyone) that carmy is surprisingly good with kids.

it's not till a week or two later (after your little bout of 'food poisoning') that you're at cicero's place for a family birthday party that it hits you. one of carmy's cousins (not richie kind of cousin teehee) has just had a new baby with his wife. you've been catching up with ava, richie's daughter because you've become an auntie of sorts to her. you find some time to steal away for a some girl-time but when you return, carmy is holding his new niece/nephew in his arms.

the sight of him holding the baby not only takes your goddamn breath away as he stares long and hard your way, his blue eyes piercing right through your heart, but it's then that you realize that you're a few weeks late. it's like time stops as you look at him, seeing him coo at the baby with the softest look on his face. the realization hits you, clear as day.

"holy shit." is all you say, earning a few funny looks from the berzatto extended family and friends. "carm, can i borrow you for a second?" you and carmy find a quiet place to talk inside. "you okay, babe?" "carmy i think i'm-. what if i-. i'm late." "what do you-? like.. late late?" "now that i think about it, a few weeks late, honey." "yeah?" he asks you, totally in shock and eyes wide. "yeah."

the two of you make an excuse to leave the party as soon as possible, and hurry to the nearest drugstore to pick up a pregnancy test. you wait till you're home to take it. "do you want me to come in, sweetheart?" "no, carmy! i don't want you to watch me pee, you weirdo!" you answer, even though you know he's just excited.

the two of you are pacing back and forth, practically making dents in the floor with your footsteps for what feels like the longest two minutes of your lives. when your timer goes off, you're both simultaneously freaking out about the fact that you're lives are about to change forever, while also really, really hoping for a positive result. and as the fates would have it, the test is positive.

"holy shit. holy fucking shit. we're- you're-, we're gonna-!" carmy is ecstatic as searches for words. "we're having a baby, baby!" you squeal jumping into his arms." "god, i love you so much," he says, grinning at you as wrap your legs around his waist. "i love you too, carm. so, so much."

you literally get the biggest kick out of calling him your baby daddy: to friends and family, coworkers, random strangers, in restaurants, at the gas station. you'll take photos of him at the farmers market and post on your ig story referring to him as your baby daddy because you find it hilarious. carmy doesn't find it as funny (even though he secretly loves it) and he's cherry-tomato red when you tell the checkout clerk at the bodega across the street from your place that your baby daddy is going to pick up the tab.

everyone at the restaurant is so excited for you! even richie cries a little when you tell him the news. you hadn't really gotten close to richie until ava grew super attached to you, which opened up a whole new avenue and understanding for your friendship with richie.

ever since you found out you were pregnant, carmy always has bread and ginger ale on hand for your morning sickness. he started making you your favorite soft scrambled eggs with toast, but the chives have been way too strong of a flavor for a sensitive tummy. it's slowly become eggs & toast and then just... toast, which you promptly apologize for stripping away any kind of artistic freedom he may have previously had.

you get near compulsive cravings for certain foods, and carmy is always ready to throw on a jacket and run across the street when you get midnight cravings.

carmy hates seeing how tumultuous pregnancy has been during your first trimester. he's always ready with a hair tie or a glass of water for when you're done throwing up. okay hear me out: but carmy starting to wear hair ties because he wants to always have one ready for you. he'll even take off a morning with you or call your workplace if you need a sick day just so that he can take care of you. even if you don't need care, he just wants to spend time with you and be there for you while you go through it.

we already know that carmy is an acts of service king. he is the tenderest, most gentle partner and wants to be as helpful as possible. if you're sick, he wants to make you feel better. if the pregnancy hormones are raging against the machine, he's more than happy to let you be upset, or get you off by any means if the hormones go that way too. he'll sit on the bathroom floor with you and rub your back until you need to vomit again. he'll give you the best morning head of your life. he'll run a bath for you when you need one. he checks in every hour on the hour in your first trimester, which you appreciate, but eventually have to ask him to chill the fuck out.

speaking of physical changes, the pregnancy boobs are ELITE. carmy is always there to make you feel beautiful despite your rapidly changing body, esp when your clothes start fitting differently.

the first time your bump starts showing and you point it out to him, carmy cries. or maybe he notices it first and he's just like... weeping and you're like: babe r u ok? and then you realize that you're showing and carmy is kneeling and admiring your baby bump and now you're crying. sorry, but i don't make the rules it's just a fact that this is how it would go down.

carmy is so emotional about this because he realizes that he finally gets to build the family he didn't have and he gets to build it with you.

well this just hijacked my writing plans oops. part two will be more 'you & carmy pregnancy things' and part three will be birth & post-birth.

nazir is in shotgun controlling the aux cord. ik he has the best music taste of all time. he's a metalhead trust me i asked him myself

the night mother is strapped to the top of the car like those ski holders

DOA5

anonymous asked : lilac, lotus

Botanical Headcanons. -- accepting

lilac : what was your muse’s childhood like ? how has their upbringing affected them as they’ve aged ?

This is still a heavy wip because with what little Skyrim gave us for Astrid’s backstory, I have to kinda figure out as things go along. Usually, with my muses, I’ll learn things over time when writing them, so this might change or drift later in my writing, but here are a few ideas I have at the moment with Astrid’s main verse.

I feel like Astrid’s preference for control and want for power was due to her own parents making choices for her, never letting her have much say in her own fate and destiny basically, and so with having control over everything: it makes her feel more control. When her “control” is threatened by Cicero’s appearance and the Night Mother choosing a Listener, she feels like she’s back in that “uncontrollable” state that she was in during her childhood. She hates not having control over anything and hates to be stifled.

Despite her parents being very controlling, Astrid is more like her mother despite her not realizing this. Her mother was very independent, territorial, and an easy liar. Despite their rather middle-class upbringing and their privilege of being able to move and travel a lot during her childhood (giving Astrid extra instability and less control), Astrid’s mother was one who wanted to be high class despite not having the money or status for it. She would lie and make extravagant stories, buy expensive clothes or make her own clothes with expensive fabric that higher class people had because she wanted to look better than she was. She was ashamed of her rather “normal” life, even if she had the privilege of not being in debt and being able to put food on the table when Astrid’s father died. She also wanted her children to have a certain image too that fit this idealized life her mother dreamed of, so Astrid would often wear clothes her mother wanted her to wear, she would have to say this or that to guests and lie to them because her mother had a certain image she wanted to “sell”. Her mother chose her friends, what little she had, and would only allow the ones she liked to come over. There was always a controlling aspect her mother would put upon Astrid’s choices, to mold her into her own liking and sort of life through her in a way.

So, overall, I think Astrid’s childhood was very hectic, and she does mention that she was in the DB since she was young, so I would headcanon that later teens/her early twenties she has been in the sanctuary and part of the DB. There is still more to add to this, I’m still figuring out whether Astrid has siblings or not and if that affects her “motherly” attitude/persona in the sanctuary, and just other tidbits about her childhood. Also, some aspects of her childhood might differ a bit with different au’s and verses, but I think this part of her childhood with her mother will stay pretty consistent.

lotus : has your muse ever felt as though they’ve been reborn ? have they ever desired the feeling of a fresh start , or a better understanding of themself and/or the world around them ?

I think going into the Dark Brotherhood, she felt reborn and learning her interest in murder definitely changed things for her. At first, when she killed, she had strict rules and morals with it and only would do it when necessary, she was weirded out and ashamed of her likeness to it and dealt with a lot of guilt and shame over it. She was disgusted with herself that she liked it and tried to come up with numerous other reasons for why she felt drawn to it. Eventually, her restrictions lowered and lowered, and eventually, she had no big qualms about it, which was right around the time she was discovered by the Dark Brotherhood.

Both of these events made her more sure of herself and less guilt-ridden, her worldview changed and she blurred the lines between good and evil. She wasn’t so hooked on the notions of morals and following laws or any heavy religious views. Instead, she sort of carved her own boundary and perspective regarding all of these things and I think this officially cut the ties between the “old” and the “new” Astrid.

#asks #anon #anonymous #( 𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 𝑰 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 ; headcanon (( Astrid ))#( thanks for sending this in ! )#( I hope this makes sense lmao )#murder mention tw #death mention tw

Skyrim/Witcher Crossover - Cicero Fuckeries

alright so i’m gonna make this its own post since I have a lot in mind for this specific lil scenario, and i don’t want to make a too big a text wall ajs;dlfkjasldk

just hear me out on this one, this would be a lot more entertaining than you might think

Cicero, Geralt and Jaskier first meet out on the road, out in front of the Loreius farm

Geralt was fully intent on ignoring Cicero’s call for help, but Jaskier is the one to be like “hey, why don’t we give this guy a hand?”

honestly the two prolly bicker a bit on what they should do but then Jaskier hits him with That Look and Geralt finally relents

Geralt helps up to the farm while Jaskier sticks around with Cicero, making small talk

aint long for Geralt to come back down the hill with Loreius in tow - really not hard for him to change Loreius’s mind on the whole ordeal

Jaskier finds the little man very odd, but still fun to talk to

Cicero also thinks he’s fun, but at the same time, i would not be surprised in the slightest if he’s lowkey plotting a murder - getting mother home stays his blade, of course, but if he has the free time? hmm... tempting, tempting indeed...

Once Loreius is down there helping Cicero, Geralt starts to leave, but Cicero calls out to him, asks him to wait, before tossing a coin purse his way as a thank you

he accepts it without a word, and off Geralt and Jaskier go

Jaskier has no idea what’s up with Cicero, but Geralt knows there’s something definitely not right

he wasn’t lying about his mother being in that box, as far as he could tell - his sharp sense of smell confirmed it - but there was just something... wrong. something dark. something evil

they don’t see each other again for a while, not until the Cure for Madness happens and Cicero is all alone in Dawnstar (assuming he’s been spared)

Geralt and Jaskier happen to be there, too, looking for work

they’re in the tavern, with Jaskier playing tunes for coin and Geralt sitting alone at a table, watching him and takin swigs of his ale, and Cicero sees em and he’s just like !!!!!!

just scampers his tiny ass over to Geralt and plops down next to him with a big smile on his face

“Well, well, well! Long time, no see, dearest Witcher! I was wondering if we’d ever cross paths again.”

“Cicero.”

they chat up a storm - or more Cicero’s talking to him while Geralt listens and prolly says like... five words in one sentence at most

definitely asks about his mother, who Cicero simply says is enjoying her new home

which confirms something on Geralt’s mind, but he keeps it to himself

Jaskier had seen the jester walk over to Geralt while he was performing, and once he’s done he goes over to say hello

ain’t long before it’s the three of them sittin there, chattin it up. Err, well, Cicero and Jaskier chatting it up while Geralt offers his most enlightening hmm’s

something something Cicero ends up more or less inviting himself along on the adventure since he, at that time between the Cure for Madness and the end of the DB questline, has nowhere else to be

something something also tagging along so he can go through with his little Jaskier murder plot

something something he does attempt to kill him a couple times but some thing or another foils it without him actually getting caught by the bard in question, or more importantly, Geralt

mind you, Jaskier actually likes Cicero - as eccentric as the man is, he relates

but then he hits him with the bard joke

and poor Jaskier

a lad is CONCERNED

HE’S TALKIN ABOUT SMASHIN LUTES AND BURNIN BARDS

starts sticking around Geralt a bit closer than usual

Cicero learns very, very quickly that you do not make murder jokes around Geralt

he does not appreciate them

he especially does not appreciate murder jokes about Jaskier

Regardless of this, Cicero tries very hard to get Geralt to laugh when the three of them are out on the road

he’s never seen him do anything more than smirk and “hmmph” in a way that he’s pretty sure was a laugh but isn’t positive on

he’s done countless jokes, no matter how well structured or not, desperate to get a chuckle, a smile, anything

Usually doesn’t work, but Jaskier gets a kick out of most of em

there’s some point in time where Cicero gives up on trying to kill Jaskier, for a couple of different reasons.

One, Geralt Will Find Him. Cicero may have outrun Arnbjorn but he will not stand a chance against a Witcher. He knows this.

Two, he’s found enough bloodshed travelling with these two to keep him contented

Three - honestly? Jaskier is friend-shaped. He can never know about who or what Cicero actually is since saying anything about him would technically break one of the Tenets, but he’s helped Cicero out in ways he may never know

at some point, the trio are at a jarl’s palace, attending some celebration (prolly the “slaying” or Alduin or something to do with the Civil War, regardless if we’re taking Dragonborn!Geralt into account)

Jaskier gets harassed by someone, who claims he slept with their spouse the last time they were there

Geralt steps in, tells em to fuck off, right

But Cicero’s watching from afar as the person leaves, and he walks over after they go with a grin on his face

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk! Naughty, naughty, Jaskier! You ought to know better than to sleep with a noble’s lover! You’ve gotten yourself in a situation now, haven’t you?”

Jaskier apologizes (kinda sarcastically, kinda awkwardly, not really sure where Cicero’s going with this)

and then the little fucker just hits him with

“Well... Geralt may scare them off for now, but... oh, what are you going to do if you’re alone, hmm?”

his grin widens and he leans closer

“Cicero could make sure they don’t come back. If you would like.”

and Jaskier is just like “wat” for a solid couple of seconds before he realizes he’s talking MURDER

Jaskier appreciates and utilizes Cicero’s murderiness and you caN’T TELL ME OTHERWISE

HE IS A FERAL FUCKING BABY NOT AFRAID TO SEND THE LITTLE GREMLIN JESTER MAN OUT TO STAB A BITCH FOR HIM

AND CICERO THRIVES OFF JASKIER’S FERAL BABINESS BECAUSE IT’S A SIDE OF HIM HE NEVER SAW UNTIL NOW

and poor Geralt

Geralt is very tired

not only does he have to make sure Jaskier doesn’t get killed, he has to make sure Cicero doesn’t go out killing people himself

the trio is often mockingly called the travelling circus by those living in the towns and cities they pass through

Geralt knows Cicero’s Dark Brotherhood and caught on pretty early, but he actually doesn’t do anything, per se

he keeps him in line as best he can when they’re travelling together - more or less makes sure he’s not killing people he shouldn’t be

but he knows Cicero’s off to his own devices when he leaves to go do whatever it is he does before travelling again

And, while he would NEVER openly admit it, he is aware the Dark Brotherhood is something of a necessary evil in Tamriel. From what he understands, they kill people, yes, but the ones they’re called upon to kill aren’t innocent people by any sense of the word. They’re slavers, they’re abusers, they’re corrupt politicians - the scum of the earth. Geralt (likely with a little bit of convincing from Jaskier if/when he finds out about Cicero’s true identity), tries his best to keep Cicero in line outside of the contracts he was once called upon to fulfill

I’m gonna leave it here for now and do separate interaction headcanon posts between Cicero and Geralt and Jaskier individually because this is a fucking huge text block but really tho

i just fucking love the idea of the gremlin jester travelling with the gremlin bard and gremlin monster hunter. there is a chaos there that i’m thriving on

Modern AU Dark Brotherhood Headcanons:

I’m not usually a fan of Skyrim Modern AUs, but the DB just really hits different:

The sanctuary is actually this big mansion/boarding house in the woods off Falkreath, it’s actually kind of got a meth/crack house vibe and they got a pretty good deal on it. They’re still in the process of fixing it up so it doesn’t look all that great

On their website, if you want to live there in the terms and conditions you have to agree to it literally says that they are assassins…many times a would-be tenant has skipped over this and is met with a nasty surprise

The actual Black door is in the basement, it’s piled high behind a bunch of boxes and the night mother is behind the black door as well (it’s basically the Skyrim sanctuary under the boarding house so it’s kind of basically a bunker)

Cicero is still the keeper, he worked as a clown for a while before he went off his meds and killed one of his co-workers as a contract. He pleaded insanity for the murqder and has been held in a mental hospital for the past 8 years until he’s finally let out and picked up by Astrid in her mini-van (bc he can’t drive)

Arnbjorn dresses like a mix of an average dad™️ and also a punk (cargo shorts and socks with sandals but he’s wearing a spiked leather biker jacket with a Rob Zombie shirt)

Astrid used to be a highschool math teacher, she was fired due to lack of funding and ended up joining the brotherhood

Cicero does take his psychosis meds now but he still talks in 3rd person and is overall his vanilla self

Gabriella unironically shops at hot topic and makes alt thirst traps on tiktok

Festus was a community college professor but was fired after…well…killing a student with magic

Nazir is the only other person who has a car, bc he, Astrid, Arnbjorn, and Veezara are the only ones who know how to drive (Veezara is the only other member who can touch Nazir’s car)

Veezara used to be a government worker before he quit to join the brotherhood, he was raised as a Shadowscale ofc, but he has the most in depth knowledge of the police system

Most of them take the bus/train to get to their contracts…the most ambitious perhaps even ride their bikes

Hmm, that doodle made me think about headcanons and maybe a silly little AU.

In my headcanon, Kajo left Valenwood to adventure around Tamriel in 4E 193, which is when Cicero is very much stuck in Cheydinhal and not having very great time. BUT I got this amusing idea for a little “AU”, where they meet in Cyrodiil when they are younger, Kajo still a rookie adventurer and Cicero perhaps not yet a Keeper.

Nothing special, they literally just bump into each other or smth and go their ways then. Then years later they meet again in the Falkreath Sanctuary and somehow Cicero remembers Kajo (”Cicero never forgets a face!”). Kajo has no idea who he is, she’s pretty sure she has never seen him before, but he is so certain that they have met.

HTTYD AU Headcanon

I have a headcanon I love for my HTTYD/dragon riders AU (titled Love Amongst the Dragons), that whenever Callum has a job that he needs done with no mistakes, he just sends Rayla.

Because she’s the best and he completely stands by the fact that she’s the best dragon rider.

Yes, he leads the team because he does most of the planning and it’s his cause they formed for (you’ll see why if you read Love Amongst the Dragons: Gales of Yesterday), but Rayla’s been a dragon rider basically her whole life, Luna and her have been together forever and they’re perfectly in sync. She’s stealthy, a great fighter and he really trusts like nobody else the way he trusts Rayla except probably Ciceros. That’s why she co-leads the team.

At the end of the day, even though he hates sending her out on her own and worries about her, if something is important enough and he needs it done right the first time? He’ll put Rayla on it.

And you better believe Rayla is completely pleased by that.

FIRST: Alternia or Beforus or some type of AU? Proximia babey!!

(Also quick note before I start I throw in a few small headcanons her and there mainly for the whole military arrangement and some about possible classism that weren’t mentioned in the original Proximia reference sheet so feel free to correct me if anything I said is wrong!) (I screamed when this came into the box. Thank you for expanding on my fanplanet!) -SA

Name: Temuji Cycero

Namesake: Named after Genghis Khan and Cicero because both her military and political ambitions plus what Genghis Khan did during his own rule fits well into what she would like to do for the Empire (and her whole story is generally very strongly based on him)

Age: ~9 sweeps (19 years)

Strife Specibus: saberkind and crossbowkind

Fetch Modus: Chess (She is given one of those almost finished games you know like in the newspapers where there is a few more moves to pull to win so she as to solve that in order get the item she needs) (Ooooh a Chessmaster. We’ll have to work this in as we go.)

Blood color: Violet

Symbol: Aquiborn, Sign of the Hedonist

or Aquacen, Sign of the Avant-Garde

Trolltag: cholericGenghis

Quirk: /Like 7his./ (This would work especially well for Aquacen!)

Lusus: Not sure yet tbh, I was thinking maybe a turtle? I thought that maybe giving her a more “tame” and non-threatening lusus that tought her discipline, love, protection and to control herself would be a neat idea (Turtle-mom teaches Temuji to be TOUGH but together. Also, as a tangent- in Steven King’s It, the kids are aligned with a giant cosmic turtle that is the anthithesis to It’s fear-based entity powers.)

Oh man this leads me to question if there are different lusus rules on Proximia? Can violets have landdwelling lusii? Could a yellow have a seal? Could a rust have a dragonfly? What rules are there? Are we unfettered by both god and man?

Personality: Temuji has a strong personality which she acquired from growing up in a more peaceful environment which shot down many of her military ambitions and both political and national defense ideas, but this did not turn her bitter nor did it turn her into a brute. She is cruel and snarky with her enemies and quick to shoot back with one of her witty remarks towards anyone who laughs at her ambitions, but always using her words instead of fists. She is a firm believer that words can sting even more so than wounds and that there is no need for violence where it is not necessary so she uses her cleverness to snap back in very provoking public call outs. She might be strict and disciplined but that doesn’t mean she isn’t ready to insult back if she feels she has been slighted. There is no denying she is a big advocate for forming a stronger and more organized Proximian military, though it isn’t as malicious as it may sound. This is mainly because of her fear of the Alternian conquerors and any others like them, she knows how dangerous it can get out there and with Proximia beginning to venture out into the unknown she wants to be ready for the worst. She also considers loyalty, steadfastness, valour and honesty to be the greatest virtues, and tries her best to live by them. She is open to new ideas and more than tolerant of other caste which is why she sees the Hemotraids as a far nicer reform of the brutal Alternian Hemospectrum, but only slightly less oppressive since she herself has been trying desperately to get into The Control Triad only to be laughed off along with her concerns as a silly fisherman kid insanely rambling to herself about war. It might seem on first glance that she dislikes Proximia but in all honesty all of her concerns come from wanting to better their already wonderful Empire as well as protect it. (She’s got some very valid concerns! Proximia hasn’t been discovered by the Condesce as of yet (they’re far enough off course that conventional wisdom is that she won’t go looking for them) but you never know with The Batterwitch.)

(I find it very amusing that she wants to be in the Control Triad like… she has no psychic powers and the Burgundies are like “Can you talk to ghosts? Can you MOVE OBJECTS WITH YOUR MIND?” and she’s like “…No. But I wanna be where the people are!” Being from the Worker Triad would definitely get her that kind of react for your average RBY blooded troll too, as they trend heavily towards the cosmopolitan, “posh” ways of life.)

Interests: History, legendary conquerors, military tactics, studying Alternia, politics and law, strategy board games, card games, debate, hunting (What she’d be able to get her hands on when it comes to Alternian lore is AT LEAST several centuries out of date, so it dovetails into her love of History really well! Does the ancient mongol look stem from that too? Is she trying to emulate a more Alternian style? Or is she thinking of Early Proximian Warlords, People-Who-Knew-The-Forgiven style?) (I feel like she HAS to have some interest in psionics and “lowblood” powers if she’s envious of the Control Triad. That’s their claim to fame, after all. Maybe she’s so interested in history PARTIALLY because of the myth of how The Forgiven turned the Mother Grub Fuschia? Maybe she has some desire to twist her own blood color by injecting psionic blood colors into her to obtain those powers, even if she rationalizes it away as silly and impossible.)

The idea of her having a fixation on like ESP and like, the ol’ Spoon Bending Trick is a hilarious concept. Catch her trying to figure out how to use her mental fortitude to turn the light on to no avail.

Title: Witch of Rage or Blood (I think Blood is your way to go. Her goals are to warp the blood-based system she lives in to better benefit herself, her goals are all high minded and virtue based, AND she’s got the military influence.) (Witches of Blood are likely social innovators, given that they change and bend tethers and people’s bonds! The inverse, Seer of Breath, gives the Witch the knowledge to understand that all of these bonds are not set in stone- they’re things we CHOOSE and stick by, not proclamations of some greater power.)

Land: I couldn’t think of one to save my life

Maybe her quest could involved overcoming a conqueror, as a way to embody her desire to protect and form strong bonds? Land of Spires and Tyranny or some such? Or you could go with an imprisoned metaphor, the people of the planet are all in chains of bondage to the denizen and she has to unit them together to break out. Land of… Spires and Shackles? Options!

Dream Planet: Derse (This is a Derse player if I’ve ever seen one. Rebellion against biology as much as society? Natch.)

Appearance: I didn’t quite have the time or energy to draw out a full design but so far I know I want her to have an ancient mongolian themed hairstyle and as for clothes I’ve been looking for a way to incorporate the theme with a few adjustments to modernise it, make it look good and stop myself from going overboard with the theme/making it too gimmicky, so if you have any advice feel free to comment but if not never mind thanks for the review anyways!! ^^

I fussed with this for a while and I don’t know that it’s PERFECT, but I wanted to do what you said and take the general idea of some of the styles from traditional mongolian fashion and like, morph them into a more modern silhouette while Also retaining the idea that Temuji doesn’t actually have any knowledge of the fashion trends she’s trying to replicate and is just kinda making use of the remnants of the concepts. A lot to balance.

We can also see here that she’s said fuck blood and is wearing rby colors, which SA has said would be seen as mildly childish/another reason she could be taken not-so-seriously.
