(You choose the muses! 💜)
1. What’s one experience your character had that made them very afraid? - Ashe
In a very chaotic battle, Spade sustained a pretty nasty injury from a charge and it was bad enough Ashe was told by the healer Spade was going to die there or it was going to either be a very long road to recovery and there was still a high risk Spade wasn't going to make it at all. Ashe has raised and known Spade since his birth and he was still a very young horse (4-5yrs old), so he was absolutely terrified he was going to lose his best friend.
He triple checks Spade's armor and always ensures to upgrade it even before his own any chance he gets, because a mounted knight is only as good as his steed and those initial days while he was critical spent sleeping outside the stall just worrying and hoping he would be okay still haunts him.
2. Does your character have a deep and/or dark secret? If so, what is it? - Cerelia
Yes! They really do. She's going to murder anyone who claims to know this, so other muses be warned. Meta-gaming/God-modding this one will result in death.
Cerelia's secret is that she was raised by the Celestial King of Wind and is actually his spy in the "mortal" planes, reporting back what is actually happening and why the gates are being opened. Whether or not she's there to help the gates open or prevent them... well... that remains to be seen.
3. Have they ever lost a loved one? What happened to them, and are they the same as they were before they lost them? - Azure
Yes, and I regret writing it every time I look at his backstory. Azure lost his beloved Sebastian the day before they were to be wed. They had run away to an Italy as it had always been Azure's dream to get married there and Sebastian didn't have the heart to deny him that even though he was aware of his father's poor reputation with the a powerful gang in Italy because he didn't know just how terrible that reputation was. He was murdered brutally in front of Azure and as a "warning" to Sebastian's father, Azure was made to drag his dying boyfriend (and eventually corpse) through the streets out of town.
Azure has never been the same. Completely traumatized by the events he found he couldn't reintegrate back into normal life, haunted by every little thing that reminded him of Sebastian. Thus, he ran from it all and is still hiding from his trauma in a formerly abandoned cottage the forests.
4. Has your character ever been hurt or betrayed by someone they thought they could depend on? What happened? - Kuro
Since the only being Kuro truly depends on is his twin brother, Shiro? No, actually. Shiro and Kuro have rarely gotten into situations where one could even have the chance to betray the other. They're more likely to tell their twin someone tried to split them up and then go torture them or dismember them as a warning to anyone else who dares to try.
5. Would they ever turn on someone they just met in order to save themselves? - Shiro
. . .Yes. Shiro does not make emotional connections to others quickly and he has the moral compass of...well, a demon. He'll happily sacrifice a stranger if it meant self preservation and he wouldn't even lose sleep over it.
6. Have they ever committed a crime, or something they felt was wrong? What was it? - Faelen
He accidentally stole a book from the library once because he was following his mother and reading it while walking and his mother didn't notice he still had it until they were home. When he went back in tears professing he was sorry and that he didn't know, he found out it was actually "free book" day and he had picked up said book from the pile of books that were being given away...for free... (this boy has never done anything wrong in his life....well...except...that one thing...)
7. If your character was allowed to murder one person without any consequences, who would it be and why? - Azure
The mob boss who dealt the final blow to Sebastian that made his love suffer the entire time he was dying.
8. Does your character have any enemies? If so, who and why? - Ashe
Mostly just the kingdoms his kingdom is at war with because he is a loyal knight and enemies of the crown he serves are by proxy his enemies.
A common enemy for the mortal planes though would be the King of the Umbra whose seals are being broken across the world...
9. Is the character a victim of abuse? - Faelen (the random number generator is really picking on him tonight. I've rerolled twice and gotten him on this one and the prior 2 questions...)
Sadly, yes. The "M" scar/brand on his wrist was not his own doing nor is it a tattoo.
10. What were the character’s parents like? What was the affect the parents had on the character? - Ian
Ian's parents were actually very kind and loving by demonic standards and even human standards (very very unusual). They supported and cared deeply for their two children.
This made losing them the way he did that much harder on Ian. He was still very young and his support system was ripped out from under him. Even as an adult now, he still self-soothes by humming his mother's lullaby and re-reading the only book he has left from his home (a small thing he has managed to keep hidden all these years) that tells of a legend in the Sand Demons that a great dragon would be the savior of their people cursed to the shapes of lizards. He pleaded and begged that dragon to save him many times growing up. As an adult, he still reads it but more for comforting nostalgia than for actually believing the legend.

In a Week by Hozier ft. Karen Cowley
“The raven is death, obviously. When I die, I want a good tombstone—something right spooky. LT’s got something against the underground, though you’d think that would be just his kind of place. That’s alright. He needs to, he can cremate me. It’s not exactly Catholic, and Mam would turn in her grave, but God is a unicorn and no one is pure anymore, so. What’s all that got to do with me?”
Johnny “Soap” McTavish has a journal. Had. It is his no longer.
Simon “Ghost” Riley had dreams—awful ones, the kind that sank claws into his lungs, dragged him into sleep, and then sent him careening out of it. He still has dreams, but they’re different, now. Better. Johnny’s pages have folded themselves under his eyes and gotten into his head, brighter and more infectious than anything else has ever been. It’s more than the past, that rotting carcass behind him, and more than now. Now is nothing. Now is ash. It’s like, it’s like—blinding, is what it is. He’s a blind man.
It is biblical now. Ghost has read it backward and forward and sideways and inside out. When he runs out of things to read, he reads them again, and when that is not enough, he reads between the lines.
#ghostsoap#simon ghost riley#john soap mactavish#soapghost#soap x ghost#ghoap#call of duty#cod mw3#my art#ghost is obsessed with soaps journal bc it breaks his heart at first like really tears it apart but soon focuses on what soap has written#about him. words of admiration and envy and love and fondness. real fondness. jokes made for him thoughts about him musings etc.#and johnnys snippets about his family and how he wants to settle down eventually#then all simon can think about is what life they could’ve lived together after the ‘war’#nevermind that there will always be war be death be blood and love is there and it matters but it changes nothing#for simon there will always be johnny#who even knows if thats what soap wanted if he loved him back if ghost even remembers him as he was instead of what he wishes he could have#become to ghost if things had gone as they should. who knows. the dead dont sing dont speak. all thats left is what they wrote#the cigarettes refer to soaps smoking habit and how ghost disapproves like a nagging wife. the ash smudges and burns in the paper allude to#ghost deciding to have soap cremated as a spouse decides post mortem due to his own aversion to being underground bc he doesn’t want soap#to be nothing but a decomposing body. he couldn’t bear that. he couldn’t bury him alive or dead so burning it is

Ash received a message from the planet the Milan was berthed over. "Lord Finley, this is lord Zarath, I'd like to make use of your services." The voice was slightly sneering, exactly what you would expect of a noble on an important planet such as this.
- Noctine for Ash
Ash sighed the tone alone made him want to say no. This was exactly why he didn't usually stop by his more well off planets. He set a reply a few moments later. "What service exactly?"

I’m currently re listening to the bridgerton books and I’ve had a bit of an idea for a story in the book era with some of the show in it… and I’m wondering if people would be interested in it…
Sophie is still the Earl’s ward and though he died still when Sophie was 14, his sister takes her in as there is no step mother…
It’s 1813 so takes place during The Duke and I, Sophie is 19 and making her debut whilst it’s Daphne’s third (as per the book)
And just benophie falling in love whilst all the drama of Daphne and Anthony being a hot head and the duel and what not with their own drama along the way…
Would people read it?

Re about Cat :
In Nopes she complains because her dad asks her to lend CoS troops, instead of asking Dimitri or Rhea herself...
But unless Count Charon is as dumb as Leopold, he knows pretty well Cat isn't the one who can lend him Church soldiers.
Of course Fodlan dgaf about non students characters, especially if they are affiliated to the Church, but I wondered, maybe Count Charon didn't want to ask Rhea herself to lend him some troops because he has a strange relationship with her -
Rhea is, after all, the one who welcomed his daughter when she was hunted by the Kingdom and the reason she's alive, Dad!Charon, whatever was his position during the "Cassandra hunt" wasn't the one who protected his daughter, Rhea was.
Maybe he feels already to indebted to her to even ask her, in person, for more soldiers?
As for Dimitri...
I always found it disappointing how both game never explored more Cat's backstory, ffs if Faerghus was "feudal uwu", the Crown (even if it was during Rufus' regency) ordered Cat's death, she was branded a traitor and someone who commited regicide ffs.
What was happening with House Charon at that time, were they happily going to give their daughter to the crown, when Catherine was the presumptive major crested heir, to have her executed? When the entire Kingdom branded her a traitor and had her name besmirched, was House Charon totes okay with, you know, the accusations that their precious heir participated in the plot to kill Lambert?
Lonato throws a fit because Christophe was executed by the Church, but Lonato is only Rowe's bannerman - Charon is one of the major Houses in the Kingdom, wouldn't they have thrown a "larger" fit if the crown wanted to execute their heir??
Or maybe that could fell in the larger "the Kingdom was in chaos" thing - House Charon might have been "this" close to rebel against the Crown ?
In a way, it might explain why Garreg Mach wasn't visited by the Kingdom's forces asking Rhea to hand Cassandra over if the crown's forces had to cross Charon territory to reach Garreg Mach...
So in with this BG, it would make perfect sense why Count Charon wouldn't ask Dimitri for more soldiers (granted we're talking about Church soldiers?) - Charon is still a loyal bannerman who fights for Faerghus, but his trust in the crown would have been severed, and it's up to Dimitri to rebuild that bond.
#3 nopes#Catherine stuff#Fodlan AU#I mean it's one basically even if I'm musing loudly bcs the game can't give fucks about characters who aren't students#and I mean interesting fucks#what if the “we had to cook some lie to prevent the kingdom for further descending in chaos” during the Ashe paralogue#was this? The Church framed Chris' at the one who participated in regicide and not Catherine to avoid a civil war#aka Charon raising their weapons and calling their bannermen to arms to rebel against the Kingdom and the Blaiddyd's?#i don't remember where but I thought I read somewhere that#Chris was the one who framed Catherine? but I think that's headcanon?#but even if he didn't#I mean Chris wanted to kill Rhea who was the one who 'welcomed' Cassandra#the CoS is basically Cassandra's benefactor would the Charons have ruined Gaspar in retaliation?#'my daughter is innocent and you fuckers are trying to kill the woman who helped her and help us all during those rough times?'#Targetting Gaspard means targetting Rowe and it means Adrestia is free to look more closely at Arianrhod#Oh well#tasty honey for y'all

How do they style their hair?
What kind of clothing do they wear?
Do they wear makeup? What kind?
Do they have any birthmarks?
Where were they born?
What do their parents do?
Where do they live?
What do they do for a living?
What is their greatest achievement?
What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to them?
(You pick the muses! 💜)
Random number generator GOOO!
How do they style their hair? -Faelen
Faelen keeps his hair just past his shoulders and ties it back in a low ponytail for the most part, keeping his bangs separated and up front to frame his face. Some may think he dyes his ends lavender, but it naturally turns that color as it grows out.
What kind of clothing do they wear? - Ian
Ian wears servant garb fit for the demon king's prized servant. Usually, plain pants with his buckled leather tank top, arm bands and a collar decorated in silver chain.
When he's on a mission or off on his own; however, he changes into more comfortable leather armor and sturdier boots.
Bonus: Noble Ian wears fine silks in the color silver with dark green accents as well as a short, green cape. He will often also adorn his hair with small clear crystals that refract rainbows when the light hits it just right.
Do they wear makeup? What kind? - Azure
Azure very rarely wears makeup. Usually just some concealer to hide the circles under his eyes, but he did like using some eyeliner when he was with Sebastian.
He does really enjoy Halloween though and will go all out for that makeup if his costume calls for it.
Do they have any birthmarks? - Kuro
Not really, no. Though Shiro claims there's a small mark on the nape of his neck just under his hairline that's in the shape of half a diamond, the other half being on his twin's neck in the same spot.
Where were they born? -Ashe
As soon as I settle on a name for the land all these wonderful muses are from, Ashe will have a known birthplace. LoL
He was born in a small village just outside the town surrounding the castle. Both his parents were a high ranking knights, after all and needed to be close by should their king need them.
What do their parents do? - Shiro
Believe it or not Shiro and Kuro are part of Hell's nobility. Their parents are Lords and serve the crown by being informants and hired assassins.
Where do they live? - Aria
Aria lives on the outskirts of France, running an adorable flower shop.
What do they do for a living? - Cerelia
Cerelia is a hired assassin by trade and very very good at her job. She does settle down a little when she joins Ashe and Faelen's group, but she still keeps it as a side hustle.
What is their greatest achievement? - Ian
Ian's greatest achievement will always be letting go of Lucifer and acknowledging that what he did was atrocious and accepting that he does deserve his happy ending with his soulmate (Be that Agate or Asriel depending on the verse ;) )
What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to them? - Faelen
The most embarrassing thing that has happened to Faelen to date would probably be... getting mistaken for a lost noble girl when they visit the elven kingdoms and being too shy/softspoken to explain they got it wrong to the point he does find himself dressed for the part and standing before the family before he finally pipes up that he's not actually their runaway daughter. Ashe sent the dress to Faelen's mother who was beside herself with laughter and still reminds Faelen of this when he visits home.

I decided to watch helluva boss and imma do 2 separate posts for seasons 1 and two (why did I write it like that…?)
Season one
God I love this show. The writing is way more my speed than Hazbin hotel on Amazon, I enjoyed the writing in the pilot, but once Amazon took over the humor just didn’t really land for me, and tbh the plot took over and I started focusing more on that, and in general I’m more partial to the rapid fire YouTube dry comedy and this sentence is a friggin mess- I found HB SO FREAKIN FUNNY
Dude when he goes “FUCK, a new hole” I lost it
“Just try and sue us”
“We’re rich and we’re hot”
“I can just buy all the things!”
“You should commit die”
“Hehe, Trumpet!”
These are just my kinda lines, I don’t know how to explain it, I was wheezing all throughout the season
The music OH LORD when I say I’ve listened to stolas’s lullabye, lulu land, cotton candy, and house of ozmodius like 100000 times I’m… exaggerating but like you get the point the music here is friggin fantastic I also really like how a lot of the music is diegetic, I think that’s a fun touch. I don’t remember whether this is the case in Hazbin, but in this one it was like… I don’t know, it made sense that they were singing when they were singing… am I articulating myself well? I don’t care, iykyk if not, no prob
The animation is great, Viv loves them spinny shots and I am here for it. The amount of genuinely amazing action scenes is super impressive, and even the chill scenes have a ton of personality
The voice acting might be what steals the show for me, idrk anyone’s names cept Alex Brightman but BLITZS VA NEEDS AN AWARD, also slight tangent but I don’t know what it is with stolas’s va but he sounds a lot like a bird in the same sense that Gary Oldman sounded a lot like a bird in Kung Fu Panda 2, what is it that casting directors recognize in actors that screams bird?! Because both of these men are just SO BIRD DOES ANYONE GET WHAT I MEAN moving on, Ozzie’s voice was also effing PERFECT it slid silkily over me like… silk butter or smtg it was the perfect lust voice, I loved it. Everyone else was also great, but they were extra great.
It was also just so fun? Like in hazbin there’s very little just… shenanigans to enjoy, nothing wrong with that because it’s not that type of show, whereas this season is jam packed with them. Like I’ve heard that everyone hated episode 4, but like I don’t know I loved it😆 I just found it to be good old fashioned chicanery, and I liked the chaos and stupidity of it, made for some entertaining TV. This story engine is just mad entertaining for me.
I also enjoyed the writing of most of the characters (Millie, Moxxie, Loona, and Octavia still leave a bit to be desired imo, but whatever, they can’t all be winners and there’s nothing wrong with them) Blitz kinda reminds me of a Barney Stinson type character, which I really enjoy, and I also really like how his boss persona kinda infects everything he does while simultaneously being what’s screwing him over, his nature is kinda like a snake swallowing its own tail, which is tragic and beautiful, and Stolas compliments him well by being, not an enabler, but… I don’t know a clever way to say this… Stolas is a wreck in the best way and he just works. He’s short sighted, like extremely so, like how he thinks sleeping with Blitz will fill his emotional void so he does it but it just drives them further apart so it’s like he’s in a hole and in order to get out he’s gonna dig to pile up dirt so he can climb out but he’s an idiot and that’s a stupid idea and I loved his whole arc. Very enjoyable stuff drama.
Kinda random but whoever Viv’s foli artist is also deserves an award, the sound effects in this show are pristine and it’s incredible (yes I’ve seen the scene where the gun sounds go off a few seconds too late, and yeah, mistakes happen, but every bone crunch sounds and other stuff like that being so enunciated in an indie show is extremely impressive)
Anyhoo, very fun, very emotional, nice to look at, very funny, yada yada- altogether great season 1.

I've seen the theories about how Chester and Norris aren't actually Jon and Martin following the most recent episode (or are and are evil / controlled by the web) and I'm not ruling it out but IDK.
To me, this could still be another case of Jon trying to warn Sam away (albeit one that goes horribly, horribly wrong). Like the statement starting immediately after Celia sort of convinces Sam to give up looking into the Magnus Institute is kinda damning and I can see why people are seeing it as a lure. But on the other side of things, Sam is still doing the same stuff that Alice keeps warning him is going to get him into trouble, he's engaging with the weird shit in the office. He's filling out the deeply cursed paper work and answering the deeply concerning questions.
So a statement about someone doing something seemingly innocuous (rolling a pair of dice) and being met with costly rewards and horrible misfortune doesn't exactly seem out of place. (we can all see the parallels between 'I refuse to give it the satisfaction of giving up', 'It's kind of compelling at this point.' and 'I still don't really know if they made me roll them' and 'I don't think I ever felt them calling me' right?)
Also insert small domino to big domino meme here but the first step to Jon destroying the world and possibly dooming the multiverse was literally him signing a contract (and the contract itself does have some supernatural significance based on the way daisy joined). I also think - given we don't know how much control Jon and Martin have over their statements (but there are thematic parallels) the Magnus Institute link might be at least in part Jon's own trauma - (please for the love of god this place is deeply cursed and the worse nothing good can come from this it only has eye mutilation and cursed dice) and part hey Sam remember your horrible hidden trauma about this place, it is so much worse than you think pls stop poking around while you still can.
Like I think the first statement, the 'canaries should stay above ground' was just a general warning. Look at this horrible thing that happened but don't look to hard, let's just move on, we're not even going to tell you what happened just allude to the horrors. Only Sam didn't take that warning. And Jon's been here before, in this exact position in fact, being kept ignorant never did him any favours it just meant he made things worse in his search for answers. So I think this is his way of saying look, this is the kind of thing the Magnus institute dealt with. This is how horrible it was, and how terrible it could be for you. STOP.
(I actually kind of think that the Gerry thing was another attempt to do this that backfired. Gerry was the one who properly clued Jon in about the world and if we assume that Jon has access to the supernatural files but only the supernatural files then he knows that Gerry was involved with the MI but not what happened to him after. So he might have been hoping that Gerry would give Sam this universe's version of colour theory only for Gerry to turn out to be a happy, friendly painter - better for Gerry but not as helpful as a haunted encyclopaedia)

Princess, Interrupted || closed with tarnishedxjudgement
@tarnishedxjudgement
“Because... if you are going to sell me to the enemy, then you should at least grant me the comfort of a friend whilst I’m there, father,” Ashelia said firmly, staring the old king down.
“Ashelia... Sir Ronsenburg is needed here and at war’s front,” Raminas said wearily. He was already dealing with immense guilt over the arrangement for his daughter to be held in Archadia’s capital to ensure Dalmascan loyalty, and Ashe’s resistance to it was not helping.
“Why? My being shipped off to Archadia ensures the fighting will stop,” she shot back.
“Because this arrangement is a precarious and delicate thing, my dear. You do not understand,” Raminas replied.
Ashe huffed. “If I do not understand, it is because you forbade me to be in your war room while it was being discussed! Also, I do understand, because unlike you, Basch does not think women so fragile of mind that they cannot learn of such things.”
“Then understand that your duty and your place right now are to do this in Dalmasca’s name and for her people. Please... do not make this more difficult than it must be,” the king sighed.
“I’ll need guidance,” Ashe said.
“You will be alright, my child,” Raminas said.
“I’ll need protection,” she tried again.
“They’ll not harm you,” Raminas insisted.
“You don’t know that!” Ashe exclaimed, feeling a pang of something in her chest. Was it panic? No, she wasn’t going to be a scared child. “I don’t know that.”
Raminas sighed again... because she was right.
“Grant me Basch and I will do my duty, as you put it, without further objection, father,” she challenged. As strong as she knew she was, the idea of going to live in Archadia alone without a single familiar face when she had never even been outside of her own country before had Ashelia beyond terrified. Basch was her dearest friend, her rock, and her voice of reason. She needed him with her. Her gaze turned a bit vulnerable, much as she wished it wouldn’t. “Please, father.”
Sending Sir Ronsenburg to Archadia would make a serious dent in the leadership of the Dalmascan military. However, he knew it would affect the knight captain’s performance to have the princess abroad with the enemy, whether the man admitted to the distraction or not. And perhaps it would ease some of the old king’s worries as well to have someone like Basch looking after Ashelia. “Very well. He will accompany you there,” Raminas said, not speaking as to whether he would stay.
- - - - - - - - - -
It was hours to Archadia by airship, especially the Durga class cargo and passenger ship they had been granted for this particular trip. Something unmistakably civilian was needed to avoid any and all aerial misunderstandings. Even so, the ship bore Dalmasca’s banners on its carapace. As they neard their destination, Ashelia emerged from her room and came to stand with Basch to see the empire on the horizon, its capital coming into sharper focus.
A quivering sigh, forced out through her nose, caught Basch’s attention. He turned to see Ashelia’s wide eyes welling up with tears, even as they gazed out the large window at Archadia. He watched as her expression otherwise remained unchanged save for a thick swallow, and she blinked repeatedly to rid herself of the tears she never allowed to fall. Basch’s own eyes fell for a moment, and then he turned back to the view past the glass himself, not calling attention to her moment of fearful vulnerability. She hated when someone pointed out that she was crying.
“Steady,” he whispered to her, and out of his peripheral vision he saw her turn to look up at him. “You represent Dalmasca here. Show them her strength through your own, my lady.”
