Ask Recluse and Sage Fae

[askreclusesagefae]

Has anything changed now that you two are married, or is life still mostly the same?

Sage: Well, life is fairly much the same as it was before, but I will say the somewhat drastic change in our physical appearances wasn't something I was expecting after marriage!

Recluse: I'm not sure that's a normal occurrence...

((OOC: Holy updated references, Batman! This has been a bit of a long time coming, but I FINALLY have an updated full-body reference for the boys! Use to your heart's content and I'm so excited to see these boys as their whole and happy selves~ ))

Hiii ive got a question, if HYPOTHETICALLY you could, would you have another child? (adopted or bio doesn't matter)

Sage: You look a quite fatigued-Why don't you come in for a spot of tea? My Recluse made some berry bread yesterday that's quite delightful and pairs well with an exceptionally fruity blend!

Pom-pom: It's really yummy!!

Fire Lily: Thank you...I'm sorry to take advantage of your hospitality.

Sage: Take advantage all you like! We've plenty to go around. We see travelers here often. This swamp is more than a triffle to deal with-I know from personal experience. Dear Recluse always has a knack for finding lost things~

Recluse: Hmm yes...Though most of those things don't tend to stick around so long as you have.

Sage: I suppose I should be thankful you made a few exceptions~

Fire Lily: ....

Sage: Ah! Forgive me, you must be famished! Go ahead and make yourself at home-I'll be back with the tea momentarily.

Pom-Pom: Thank you!!! I'll have to show Venom and Mold when they come to visit next time! They're gonna be soooo jealous~

[askreclusesagefae]

Are you ready for PomPom weak, cause she is winning on all platforms? I'M SO HAPPY

Pom-pom: SOON.

[askreclusesagefae]

Why the biggest photo was about how pom pom wanted to steal the cake

((OOC: BECAUSE IT'S CUTE and it's my favorite art I've done of her...like ever. This and the one with her siblings))

[askreclusesagefae]

POMPOM MADE IT TO THE FINALS!!!!! EVERYONE VOTE FOR POMPOM IN THE FINAL POLL

Sage: Now now--Pom-pom is able to win of her own merit! As the virtue of knowledge and Truth, I cannot condone any such deceitful behavior...

But feel free to share the link with everyone you know and politely ENCOURAGE them by showing them this adorable collage of our little shroom~

[askreclusesagefae]

((OOC: Not sure if you all have been keeping up with the Miss Earthbread competition, but POM-POM HAS ENTERED THE SEMI-FINALS!!

If she makes it all the way to the finals, then I I'll give her control of the blog for a WHOLE WEEK! Who knows what she may get up to...Only YOU can help decide! Be sure to vote on Insta, Twitter, Youtube, AND the Discord! ))

[askreclusesagefae]

((OOC: POM-POM MADE IT TO THE FINALS!!! A reminder to vote in ALL the places but especially the Discord as those votes count DOUBLE! Do it for Pom-pom!!! ))

[askreclusesagefae]

Wait . Sage and Truthless aren't immortal here ??

((OOC: Not in so much that they won't EVER pass...It's more that they have extremely extended lifespans--particularly Sage considering his role as a Virtue. But even that eventually has to be passed on like it did with his mama. Still, that's like thousands of years in the future so we don't need to think about that -w-)/ ))

[askreclusesagefae]

Alright that's may be harsh or unwanted ask .

Does sage and recluse always love each other?. Like I always heard that love can't live forever.

Weird yah i knowv

Sage: And despite how much we may wish to change it, there exists inevitabilities that we cannot fight. Even my existence, for as elongated as it is considering my role as a virtue in this world, will eventually be passed on to a future vessel.

But in-spite of all that, there are other truths that remain constant as well. The truth that love endures, the truth that memories can return those to us who have already passed on, and that hope persists against adversity. I'd like to believe that my love for Recluse is one that I'll carry with me, even when I leave this mortal world. That the memories we share and the bonds we feel can continue even when my physical body does not.

Of course there's no way to prove this, but it's something I CAN see here and now. In the words he speaks, the glances, the reaching for closeness and companionship. In the end, love is just an extension of our need as a species to find understanding as we all search for the answers of this world. There is no one I would rather seek those answers with for as long as time allows than my Recluse-and I know he feels the same.

Ooc: ASH SALT ASH SALT ASH SALT ASH SALT ASH SALT ASH SALT ASH SALT ASH SALT ASH SALT ASH SALT ASH SALT!!!

My girl is here let's goooooooooo!!!!

Sorry I just really like her 😅

((OOC: She's here!!! I had a design that I did for her ages ago if you'd like a full reference! I'm glad she can finally join the team. ))

Recluse: If you were in need of food, you could simply have asked instead of taking it upon yourself to steal from my garden.

Stranger: ....Your garden? I thought these were wild grown. I had no idea they were-

Recluse: Of course-A perfectly manicured collection of rare herbs and medicinals. Surely this is a natural phenomenon.

Stranger: ....Sorry. I've been lost in this swamp for days. This was the first thing close to edible I could find. I-I don't have any money to repay you but I-

Recluse: Don't concern yourself with repayment. Take as many as you'd like. But I doubt berries alone a satisfying meal makes. If you'd like, I could help to lead you out of this place, offer a meal before you depart?

Stranger: ...I wouldn't want to be a burden.

Recluse: Think of it as benefiting both parties: you return to your travels and I return to my gardening-which your appearance interrupted.

Stranger: Very well. Thank you---?

Recluse: I am simply called the Recluse. And what should I call you?

White Fire Lily: White Fire Lily.

[askreclusesagefae]

Hehe . I like when recluse make sage embarrassed 😈

((OOC: Recluse does too~~))

[askreclusesagefae]

Does sage read with recluse too?. Or read to him like pom pom ?

Recluse: Sage has always had a flair for the dramatic. He enjoys reciting tales of all kinds-fictional or no-to whoever will listen. One can easily get caught up in his performance...It's captivating, to say the least. Storytime within the house is a staple at this point, and I'm sure those will continue when the little one arrives as well.

A thirst for knowledge, a longing to discover all the inner workings of this world; those are things I have no doubt she'll inherit. For as he likes to say "Craving for the truth as is natural as simply existing".

[askreclusesagefae]

Would Sage cry when watching any emotional or romance movies?

Sage: While I'm unfamiliar with this "movie" concept, I've always found connection through literature. With well enough written prose, it doesn't take much for me to relate to the characters and I do often find myself emotional.

I've been teaching Pom-pom to read as well to discover such similar joys! She's not the most enthusiastic about it, but she does like when I read aloud to her. We've discovered quite a few works about discovery beyond our world that both of us rather enjoy~

((ooc: I forgot to add the ask with someone giving them both a donut!! That's what they're eating and why OTL Sorry!))

[askreclusesagefae]

I feel sometimes that's sage secretly like to be teased or got punished by recluse.

Sage: ......I will admit that sometimes...I don't find his....gruffer demeanor entirely...UNpleasant.

[askreclusesagefae]

Sage, when you got bigger, you kinda fell directly on Recluse's stomach. I hope baby is okay- poor thing got a little bit bonked!

Sage: It was an unexpected situation to be sure! I didn't have much time to react, but I did my best to fall gracefully...Recluse assured me that he and our little bud are both okay. He's quite the capable fae! I don't doubt his ability to keep her safe.

[askreclusesagefae]

P-plushies?? You making plushies?? :D

I'm probably too broke to buy them I have no idea why I'm so exited

((OOC: Yes!! I meant to show them off as a thank you for 500 followers but that was like 150 followed ago sooo

Here they are! This is only the first pass so there are some changes to be made, but they're so squishy and cute!! Stay tuned for pre-orders opening later this month))
