I think deryk would struggle the most with being forced to keep one body now that he's left behind his godhood. The Twelve could take any form they liked: beast, man, inanimate, even far-flung monstrosities. They did as they pleased. Even if their usual appearance is the culmination of centuries of prayer and concepts, that didn't mean they had to stick to them forever.

Deryk quite enjoyed the facets of mankind - and found it fascinating how differently they were treating him based on how he appeared. His dalliances with other gods rarely involved his usual form. To be committed to one act or show of himself for so long would have bore even the most patient of them.

After all, if given the choice - why wouldn't he take Menphina's place? Why wouldn't he change to be more akin to Rhalgar, or Nophica, or any other beast that took their fancy? If the Spoken races came in so many forms, so could they.

All that to say, Deryk is only a little disappointed to be bound to one form: but it has served him well thus far, and shows no signs of truly failing him. In the mean time between godhood and his proper death, there are always glamours... and fantasia's.

do i contribute anything to the rpc? no. yet i’m still here

Once I revamp my blog, yall are in for a mighty re-dosing of Fortemps lovin.

[nymfaia-archive]

Me: I wonder what he would end up naming the opo-opo. Probably something meaningful in ancient language.

Me to me: ... oak. Get it. Like ook. Like the noise he makes.

Think it's interesting to note that (according to the Internet) that Deryk has a rough meaning of "of the tribe", whereas Derek has Hebrew origins and can mean "to tread" or to walk.

Both iterations kind of give away who he truly was the whole time.

On those notes, I am still considering an adopted surname for him. I quite liked Flowers as a generic nod to what i believe Gridanians would dub their bastard children, if they named them like those in Ishgard. But I'm also a fan of some other generic nature names for him - Alder, Rowan, Linden, etc. If yall have any ideas I'd love to hear them :>

Upon parting ways with the Warrior of Light to begin his own travels anew, Deryk found himself with much more time on his hands. His opo-opo friend was no longer such a wee thing that it required hourly feedings and quite happily entertained itself. He, however, struggled with the bells of freedom - and loneliness - that became known to him at his conclusion in Omphalos.

So he did what Byregot had been chastising him to do for millenia: take up some sort of hobby that wasn't just meandering.

He doubted that his old friend would encourage him so readily now that he took up whittling. Seeking out dropped branches and discarded tree limbs became almost an obsession, and he wondered, briefly, what other adventurers thought of the kindling strapped to his rucksack.

Unfortunately for him, godhood permitted him a steady bow arm, not artistic hands. His first few pieces were little more than odd spheres. He gifted them to his companion, giving him something to throw (and retrieve) that was not his own leavings.

(As much as he adored his companion, that rite of opo-opo adulthood passage was not permitted if he wished to continue perching on his shoulders.)

He moved on to other shapes, turning scrap lumber into little bears and tiny rabbits. These he did not share with his opo-opo... but, rather, the Warrior of Light, when their paths crossed now and again.

Tiny figurines and further perfected spheres are left behind in his wake if one knows where to look.

(And he would apologize to those getting pelted with tiny, wooden ammunition from his friend, but alas... it is better than poo. And he finds the dull thunk of wooden orbs on chainmail to be quite funny, actually.)

[rpmemesiwanttosee]

Send 😶 + a really uncomfortable question and my muse has to answer it

[nymfaia-archive]

i'm pretty sure u followed me first (bc i almost never follow anyone first oopsie) and i saw you and was like 'wow neat. look at this neat writing it's so pretty. look at the way they write all these characters, look at these ocs i LOVE them'

and then i just never left and never want to and from time to time roll around in your askbox like a cat to mark my territory i loaf u ur genuinely a joy and a delight to see on my dash and your writing is just SO SO SO PRETTY ur a superstar and a v cherished friend i am glad we met mwah

WHY DID YOU FOLLOW, WHY DID YOU STAY?

I remember!! I did follow you first. My husband has such fond memories of TOS that, when I saw you in my suggested users or whatever it was in ye olden days, I was like... how funny would it be for me to roleplay with them?

I. Don't even want to think about how many years ago that was. I may not have even been married then. It was A While.

I love that I've gotten the pleasure to know you and your Zelos, and one day, when you make your multimuse, I'll harass all of them too. I'm so happy to have you around. I don't send Christmas cards and handmade hats for just anyone. 💚💙💜

Thank you for sticking around. You've got me through a lot of tough times and have always been thoughtful. I hope I bring you the same comfort you bring me.

Lots of loaf 🍞
