Midsommar 2022 : Prompts and Memes Part 1

The sun begins its evening descent, bathing the sky in hues of pale yellow and gold. After a long day of collecting firewood and arranging the burning piles, your hard work is finally rewarded with the sight of a festival truly coming together. Merchants set up their wares and prepare their treats, filling the air with fragrant smoke and the warm scent of fried sweets.

Priests strike matches over each of your wood piles. Fires burns brightly. ‘tis the beginning of Midsommar!

The bonfires are burning….

[ ROAST ] Food over the fires, from meats to marshmallows. Each house has their own representative bonfire, and each fire has a large pot with their representative soup. Add something to it or try out what your classmates have been cooking.

[ EAGLES SOUP ] Black Eagles: Thick goulash, hearty, enough to feed a thousand soldiers. “Thousand Soldiers’ Soup” made with dried ingredients and reconstituted on the roads

[ LIONS SOUP ] Blue Lions: White fish, leeks, potatoes, heavy cream, keeps you nice and warm.

[ DEER SOUP ] Golden Deer: Broad beans, spiced sausages, seasonal vegetables, red hot with paprika imported from Dagda.

[ DANCE ] While Midsommar traditions began in the Empire and spread gradually across Fódlan, each country has its own Midsommar song and dance around the fire. Follow your house’s traditions, or bring in a little something from home.

[ BURN ] Burn different plants as offerings to the Goddess. Herbs and powders are sold by local vendors to change the scent and color of the smoke.

[ LEAP ] All around the hills outside of town, the people of Fódlan light bonfires to scare away evil spirits. Leaping over them is said to bring good luck, and many challenge each other to see who can jump the highest. Young couples link hands and try to jump together, hoping for prosperity in the year to come.

[ TELL ] Share stories around the fire. Lately, children have made a game out of whispering a story into their friend’s ear, who has to retell the story to the best of their ability to their friend, and so on. When the story finally reaches the end of the “convoy,” it’s often a completely new story.

[ TASTE ] Away from the noise of the festivities, the Chefs of the Round Table (the cooking club) has set up a mostly-private bonfire to test out some of their new creations. Their latest masterpiece? Something called a “marsh mallow,” a recipe from the Sreng region sweetened with vanilla and sugar. It’s supposedly delicious when toasted over a fire…

The Garland Moon begins…

[ CROWN ] Make a flower crown, or bestow one upon another.

[ GARLAND ] The Garland Moon is upon Fódlan, and garlands are being strung up all around Garreg Mach. Among the shop stalls selling handmade trinkets and knickknacks are florists with the last of the spring flowers, already woven and made into garlands and corsages. This may be your last chance to confess to your special someone before the season changes!

[ PAIR UP ] Single people get dressed up and paired off with other single people, this is the season of love and baby animals and the older adults won’t tolerate a humbug Singleton. If you already have a special someone, then dive right into the singing and dancing together!

[ SHOP ] The festivities draw merchants from all across the world to sell their wares, but beware: the crowds are ripe for pickpockets, and unscrupulous potion sellers take advantage of anyone who looks confused and gullible.

[ MUSIC ] There is no shortage of music or food. Join in with hymns around the cathedral, find the bards singing old folktales by the river, or try to swipe as many free samples as you can in the market.

Look And See Her How She Sparkles

A village’s plea comes to the monastery: almost all of their children have vanished in the last couple days. A natural cause for great concern to be sure, and Garreg Mach does not hesitate to send you and some Knights to check out the situation. The distraught parents are not able to tell you much, but they recall a vague rumor of a “unicorn” appearing in the nearby woods, and the children wanting to see and befriend it. Sounds like the best shot you’ve got. [Grants Riding +1] 

Unicorns only appeared to maidens and children. That was the reason the knights gave for sending her and Ignatz into the woods, unaccompanied. Truly Ignatz could not have asked for worse company. She thought to herself. One of these days Marianne was going to put her foot down about being sent out on missions with others. She was a danger to them. A curse. A burden.

Clearly this was not that mission.

At the very least, the forest was pretty. Sunlight painted the pine trees with warms greens and blues. The needles that littered the floor were soft shades of brown. There were birds chirping and animals moving about. Nearby was a babbling brook. It was quite peaceful, she almost wished she could get lost in here forever. But then she remembered the children. Winter was fast approaching, and the poor kids had been alone in the woods for who knows how long. 

Marianne muttered a quick prayer to the goddess. “Dear goddess, please keep the children safe and let us find them quickly…”

[ignatzvictor]

Ignatz was enamored by the forest as he walked down the path. It was the picturesque fairytale forest, a unicorn wouldn’t be out of place here at all! No wonder the children wandered out here, unicorn or not this forest would be the perfect play-place for them.

As Ignatz flipped to a new page in his sketchbook he looked over at Marianne. So far the trip had been silent and Ignatz had no idea on how to break the ice. Even though they were in the same house Marianne always felt secluded. Now was the perfect opportunity to get to know her better.

“Um... do you really think there really is a unicorn living here?” Ignatz finally spoke up. “I would love to paint it, though I don’t think I would be able to convey its majesty on a canvas,”

Sloppy Shooting

Ignatz was just finishing up his archery training for the the. Slowly breathing in he nocked his arrow and raised his bow at the target. In an instant he let go of the bowstring and the arrow flew straight to its target, landing one last bullseye.

With a satisfied grin Ignatz turned around and started to put away his bow before noticing one of his archery instructors hosting some sort of competition. A competition to see how badly you could miss the target?

Uh oh someone was bound to get hurt, maybe he should stay and make sure that no stray arrows hit anyone. He took a look around the room and noticed Velouria awkwardly holding a bow. 

“Hey, do you need help?”

Plotting Call

Hey all Ignatz is back and is in need of some threads! I would like for Ignatz to pair up with muses he hasn’t interacted with yet but anyone is welcome to toss their muse his way.

Friendship lances would be a good way to introduce your muse to Ignatz. He’s creative and would surely make the prettiest lance possible (Lance +1)

 Ignatz knows his way around a bow and will absolutely make sure he gets a full set of cutlery. (Bow +1)

Ignatz wants to paint a unicorn, that’s it. Just look at his 3 Hopes support with Marianne, he needs to validate his dreams (Riding +1)

The other bow prompt! Will Ignatz’s accuracy betray him at the worst moment? Who knows! (Bow +1)

That’s it for prompts I have ideas for but everything sounds fun this time so most likely I would be interested in doing anything. These are just the ones that looked the best for Ignatz. Shoot me a message on Discord or Tumblr with any ideas you might have! I’m excited to get back into the groove of writing!

[ignatzvictor]

Plotting Call

Hello all it’s me, after mulling over it I am going to be dropping all currently active threads for both Ignatz and Linhardt. I’m very sorry to my partners but I have gotten into a rut where I haven’t replied in a long time and when I do have time to reply I have no idea what to write. It’s just my silly brain making me anxious but I want to start off with a clean slate! 

Anyway here are the missions I’m interested in! I’m going to limit myself to two prompts per muse as to not overwhelm myself at first but if we get halfway through the month and I feel confident to pick up more I will!

Ignatz is a Golden Deer so he can be a partner for anyone who wants to do any deer specific missions

As always I’m always looking for bow points for Ignatz, no matter the prompt! Send him into the Sealed Forest he hasn’t been traumatized of it like my other muse

Also RP... Ignatz strikes me as someone who would RP so this could be interesting. Though he might not be comfortable with LARP

Ignatz needs to look his best for the ball! Last year his outfit was rather plain someone please give him some fashion advice!

As always message me on Discord or Tumblr is any of these piques your interest!

[ignatzvictor]

Leonie kept a meticulous calendar of all the birthday's in the Golden Deer. It was something she picked up in her village, making sure she tried to always get everyone something whenever she could, even if it was a small gift. Finding out it was Ignatz's birthday, she scoured the marketplace for something before settling on a nice paint set and a sturdy quiver for arrows. Nothing fancy, just practical.

Ignatz hadn’t expected his classmates to remember his birthday let alone get him something. Sure he knew that Raphael would remember but that was different. When Leonie approached him after class with a present he was shocked but gratefully accepted it.

“Thank you Leonie, but you didn’t need to get me anything,” he smiled, examining the paints in his hands. “A happy birthday would be enough, especially from you,”

Cats and Dogs

Velouria stared at the sky in fascination. What a pretty color it was today. Her tailed wagged happily as she breathed in the crisp early autumn air. The market bustled around her as she heard the distinctive tap of academy boots against rough stone. She whirled around to see a small boy with green hair. She towered over him by a good five inches, more with the heels on her boots. He stared up at her, regarding her ears. She tugged her hood around her face, attempting to hide them. The leaf she had picked up earlier crumpled against her hood in her nervousness.

“A… a cat?” She blinked down at the boy, she had already smelled the scent of a nearby cat on the wind. Perhaps that was the cat he was talking about. “Sure, I’ll help. I’m Velouria. Black Eagles.” She had noticed that people here often introduced themselves with their house. She didn’t quite understand, but anything that made her seem a little normal in the eyes of these humans.

Ignatz felt his worries go away when Velouria introduces herself. She was just a normal student like him, albeit with animal ears and a tail. “Thanks so much!” he said with a smile hoping to help ease her nervousness.

With introductions out of the way Ignatz looked back at the cat. “This should be easy, it’s just relaxing so it shouldn’t be that hard to sneak up on it,” Ignatz stated, “though I don’t know how to get up there. I’m surprised that I have never thought to set up my easel up there, the view must be amazing,”

Ignatz scanned the area for a way up and noticed a ladder that was set up on a nearby wall. He headed towards it and started to climb before losing his grip halfway through and falling down. Thankfully it wasn’t from a high distance but he still winced from the pain.

“Ow...” he muttered before the cat moved to another spot farther away.

Don’t be Shy

Of all the tasks she’d been given for this odd little event, Maria had been looking forward to this one the most. She’d seen water plenty of times– had come to Fòdlan by way of boat, even!– but there was something so peaceful about their little rowboat. And yet… it seemed like she was the only one enjoying it. 

“Ignatz?” Her head tilted as she spoke, her words softened more than usual. He seemed nervous, and even more so as he spoke. Was he scared of the water? “Mhm… It’s really pretty, isn’t it?” She reached over the side of the boat, letting her fingers skim the water; beneath its surface, she could see rocks but a few feet away. “The water’s so clear! Doesn’t it make you want to take off your boots and run around? Hee hee!”

“Huh?!” Ignatz’s head snapped back to Maria. “Uh... yeah it is very pretty!” he started to calm down as his focus turned to the beauty of the water.

He had never seen water so clear before, you could barely tell that it was there at all. “It would be the perfect spot for a painting,” he mused to himself under his breath. “The academy really did their best in finding the most beautiful place in Fodlan,”

Ignatz laughed at Maria’s comment. “I wouldn’t take it that far. Running in it would stir up dirt and muddy the water,” it would be a shame for this water to be muddied even if her intentions would be good.

“Oh wait, I don’t think you mentioned what your task is. What are we doing after this?”

Poem for Your Thoughts

     Compared to the glimpses of tasks he’s seen the others partaking in, the ones assigned to Innes had been relatively harmless. Picnics by the lakeside, candy making, and… tea. Tea, he could most certainly do. Entertaining conversations over tea was something the prince had been expected to do since he was small, and so this would simply be more of the usual.

     He knew very little of his conversational partner, Ignatz Victor, but the Deer’s status as son of a merchant family was sure to come with interesting tales, and perhaps some lucrative business opportunities for Frelia.

    Thankfully, the other finds him before Innes has to, approaching him with the intent to talk. About what, and so suddenly, the prince didn’t know. “Ah. Ignatz, yes? Come, sit. You’ve a good sense of timing—I was just finishing up the preparations. Though I suppose promptness can only be expected, in a merchant’s son.”

Ignatz smiled and took a seat across from Innes. “I guess so,” he chuckled, “but even though I’m not taking over the family business my father taught me to always be on time,” 

Ignatz looks at the table in front of him. “I have to write a poem about you so I thought I could talk to you to get to know you better,” he admits. “Though I didn’t expect tea! It’s been awhile since I had time to properly enjoy a cup. What blend have you chosen?”

expectations of quality

     Andrei… did not dislike sweets. He didn’t make a habit of buying them, but he could recognize quality when he tasted it, and he had actually exerted the effort to find the best he could for the next task he was faced with. Offloading his undesired spoils on Joshua was something of an impulsive move, and one he certainly did not regret, but a series of unsatisfactory gifts would tarnish the reputation of Yngvi, if word were to spread.

     Thus, he set the box of chocolates onto the table before Ignatz with a flourish, before giving a nod and seating himself across from the other man. “I don’t believe we’ve had occasion to speak, before the inception of this… event,” he said, “But you practice archery as well, do you not? I’ve seen you in the training grounds.”

@ignatzvictor

[ignatzvictor]

Ignatz was worried about being paired up with Andrei. Even though they had never talked before he had heard rumors that he had died before coming to the academy. Ignatz had no idea if these rumors were true but that would be a wild thing to make up just for idle gossip.

As Andrei approached the table, Ignatz was relived to see that he was indeed alive. It would be rather awkward to spend the day of devotion with a ghost. He approached with some fancy chocolates, the ones his parents would peddle around this time of year to nobles.

“Wow, these are some high quality chocolates!” Ignatz noted with a smile, “Thank you Andrei,”

“Oh... um yes! I’m an archer, so you are one too? I’m not that good so I’m always looking for some pointers!” he opened the box of chocolates and carefully selected a piece and biting into into it. 

“Wow, these are really good! I understand why my parents sell so much of these!” Ignatz offered the box to Andrei. “Do you want some? There’s no way I can finish these by myself,”

@ulircursed

[ignatzvictor]

Don’t be Shy

Ignatz could handle his other tasks no problem but he had no idea how anyone expected him to handle being alone on a rowboat with Maria. 

They had already rowed out to the middle of the lake and Ignatz tried his hardest to avoid eye contact with the girl across from him. Even with the beautiful scenery all around him he still couldn’t relax.

It had been a few minutes of complete silence. C’mon Ignatz think of something, anything!

“It sure is a lovely day,” Ignatz squeaked out, still avoiding eye contact.

Poem for Your Thoughts

Ignatz knew that his father wanted him to make connections at the Officers Academy and with foreign students allowed to attend the academy he knew his job was ten times harder. They were a merchant family, the prospect of branching out past Fodlan’s borders was a important thing for his family.

So when he was paired with Innes Ignatz knew he had to make a good first impression. What better way than with a poem.

It had been a hour since he sat down to write and the paper in front of him was blank. He had never interacted with Innes, what even could he write about him? 

Maybe he should at least get to know him before writing a poem about him. As he heads out to find Innes he notices him at a table by the lake setting up for tea.

“Oh, hey Innes I wanted to talk to you a bit,”

😍 = Does your muse have any crushes? If so, who are they?

Love and Romance HCs

So I tend to multiship Ignatz a lot, I can’t help he has so many cute supports with others that just perfectly set up a romance.

I imagine Ignatz has school boy crushes on most of the girls in his house, but they’re never anything serious. He is a teenage boy and to think he doesn’t have some interest in his female classmates would be really strange for him. The largest crush I imagine he has is Marianne, there is an extra level of connection in their supports that isn’t there in his other supports. One of my favorite Ignatz lines is specifically from his B-support with Marianne, if you have seen the support you know the line.

“I won't try to express this beauty in words either. Just look and remember. This will make for a nice memory. And maybe...remember that I was here too.”

Ugh it’s such a good line. It’s hard to imagine he doesn’t have some feelings for her, whether he knows it or not. I imagine he would never act on these feelings, but they are still there.

Another crush I imagine he has is Raphael. I’m a huge sucker for childhood friends to lovers so of course I love these two. They check all my favorite tropes, and how could Ignatz not notice his physique since he is an artist. Their paired ending is a joke, however. You telling me that Ignatz marries Maya and disappears, they obviously made a mistake.
