character: *tenderly brushes their love interest’s hair back from their forehead and/or takes one of their hands in their own to try to warm it while they’re unconscious recovering from an illness or injury*

me:

[valtsv]

normally stoic character: *reveals their attraction to their love interest while they’re delirious from pain or fever, but conveniently forgets what they said when they’re fully lucid again so now both characters are secretly pining but mutually oblivious of the other’s true feelings*

me:

[valtsv]

character: *actually remembers what they said or what their love interest said about them while they thought they were unconscious and tries to bring it up and discuss it, but is told by their stoic love interest that they were just imagining things in their feverish state because they’re too emotionally repressed to allow themselves to be vulnerable without an excuse*

god I haven’t rp’d in a while. Maybe I should do that soon :3

[kotone-shimayasu]

➓ What were some of the most frustrating moments you had with your muse’s interaction with another muse?

Mm.

Relationships ( platonic and romantic ) are often the ones where I probably get most upset with my characters, really. Some great ones include:

When Kotone and Vex ( @vexredain ) were dating, there were a lot of points where I wanted to reach into the screen and shake Ko because her nature was making things difficult. Vex was truly a blessing on my sea-thip, in a lot of ways.

Kotone’s general relationship with Paradyme ( @paradymeshift ) has always had us both screaming at our characters - and now they’re both suffering.

Katja and Leroy ( @leroymurrand ) are in desperate need of another round of ‘how dumb can we be while our writers screech at us,’ because that’s pretty common.

Pretty much every interaction with Flidais has me screaming at her behind the monitor, except for when she’s interacting with Jia ( @lominsadan ), at which point it’s less ‘why are you being so meeeean’ and more ‘just hug him you dumb broad.’

This could become a real long list, man.

[paradymeshift]

Much yelling.

[leroymurrand]

And yet no matter how hard I yell, NOTHING HAPPENS

[mudora]

Holy fudge, I did it. I finished it wee! Leroy’s dragon form, in all his glowey glory! He has so many sharp edges, and everybody knows sharp edges in photoshop can go die in a pit of fire, but gdi we try.

Patrons for my patreon! Expect to get this image (full photoshop file) along with another one that I neglected for September. (That will also have a full photoshop file!)

ugh I need to RP, i’ve just been going back and forth due to thanksgiving and work SO I’M A LITTLE CRAZY BUT NOW THAT THANKSGIVING IS OVER THINGS CAN SLOW DOWN A LITTLE THX

[leroymurrand]

Ouch -ouch- OUCH

Leroy: Leroy is continuously feeling -very- inadequate with Katja at the moment. More out of disappointment with himself than anything else. He failed to realize she was hurting due to her shrapnel wound, and he feels he’s been failing at keeping her happy. In truth he’s putting far too much pressure on himself. But he loves her so incredibly, its only natural that he wishes the best for her. -He’s just terrible at expressing anything right now out of fear and terror-. Crista: Crista’s health has been waning since her rescue, and her heart is weak despite being healed. Though she generally looks healthy, she is experiencing lethargy and lightheadedness that she is sure is related to the wound she had sustained due to the mana dagger she was attacked with. Janine: What can I say? She’s technically dead, has no control over her mortal connection, and is watching her husband fall apart slowly and really can’t do much about it other than make him feel like he’s going further insane! 

[leroymurrand]

Ouch

Leroy:It is likely -very- obvious to his friends, but not very obvious to himself that Leroy suffers from a very deep depressive state. If properly diagnosed, it would be pretty damn severe depression. But considering his lack of understanding on the subject, and the very minimal chances he has given himself to talk about it, it remains present within him; and it has gotten worse without him realizing it, simply due to his ignorance on the subject of emotional trauma. Thoughts that would normally send warning bells to his psyche do not reach him, since it isn’t framed in a traditional sense. Suicidal thoughts are covered by workaholic attitude. He hasn’t properly mourned for his losses, and is unsure how to. The weight of it all is something Leroy has gotten -used- to, and he isn’t really sure how much there is to unpack. And he so desperately needs to unpack. (And FYI, OOCly. Please talk to someone if you are feeling troubled! It’s a very lame PSA, but it is so VERY true.)

Welcome to Sadcanon Sunday

Send: “Ouch” to my inbox for a random, sad or distressing headcanon about my muse.

[kotone-shimayasu]

“Ouch”

Rolled for three and got different characters this time YAY.

Kotone:

Kotone knows exactly where her adopted daughter is buried, as Kotone never loses her way at sea. Buried deep beneath the waves, Andy’s body is encased in a tomb of stone that is now covered with brilliant corals of blue, green, and hot pink. Kotone visits this grave once a month, leaving a small trinket that she knows the child would have loved in life. She has yet to notice that her god has been there…

Katja:

Katja suffers terrible nightmares as a result of the attempt on her life several months back that very nearly killed her. These are made so much worse as they are usually accompanied by sleep paralysis - and when they are not, she virtually re-enacts what happened. More than once, she’s come out of it with a gun pointed to Kiipa’s or Inelaa’s forehead. For this reason, Kiipa has warded the nursery tightly and Katja has developed a dependency on sleeping aids.

Leroy ( @leroymurrand )  has no idea - as far as she knows.

Flidais:

Flidais privately hopes that Inelaa’s father never returns, and knows that it’s absolutely wrong that she desires this as her reasons are selfish. He was the first man she ever loved, though his heart belongs to her sister. There was a moment, when Inelaa was placed into her care, that something very nearly happened - but the loyalty to her sister stopped them both.

She’s terrified that, given that same chance, she would not stop herself again.

[leroymurrand]

@kotone-shimayasu You’re absolutely right he does not the fuck know. What a good pair.

A naturally shed scale from a dragon, a lance and a false pair of elezen ears.

Truly a perfect offering.
