i’m sorry. i’m sorry. this may be me at my best.
muses who fight tooth and nail to protect others, but don’t think they’re worth saving. muses who would look after someone else who was injured/sick, but don’t believe they deserve to be cared for. muses who would give their lives for those they love… but honestly can’t fathom someone doing the same for them. muses who don’t know their worth. muses who view themselves as monstrous or unforgivable. muses with a dark past and trauma, which clouds their judgement and their view of their own self-worth. muses seeking redemption they don’t even believe they deserve. rb if u agree
i love redemption arcs and moments of rage and realistic ups and downs but y’all characters that choose love from the beginning and never stop just over and over choose to be kind and patient and willing every single time even when it’s justified even when they have every reason in the world and the universe is practically begging them to turn and become mean and wretched and angry and still at every turn refuse hate and stick to their compass. yeah.
WHERE DOES YOUR ANGER LURK?
IN YOUR HEART. old grudges and stinging tears. the feeling of betrayed love aching, turning hollow like a decaying stump, rotting... a hole in your chest where love once resided.

What body part are you?
Skin
Here is the largest organ, seemingly unimportant and forgotten in favour of larger meatier cuts of flesh, but it is living and breathing but wholly on the outside. You feel everything so much all the time. You wear everything on the outside, nothing about you is restrained or held back, authentic and truthful, even to a fault, even revealing all the ugly parts you can’t cover. The blows and injuries you take cannot be hidden, so be cautious. Always remember scars do not heal, they can only fade.

A recent client photo of scabbards made by me. Some were commissioned and some were acquired second hand. It is somewhat surreal for me to see all of these together. As I am familiar with them all, but all were made at different times of my life.
𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐎𝐑 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒.
i rewatched the etern.als. and then i got thinkin. and now you guys are on the receiving end of more protective prompts, but these little beauties are aimed more for the act of actually saving a life! bon appetit!
DIALOGUE PROMPTS.
“ what the hell were you thinking?! you could’ve been killed! “
“ hey! get away from them! “
“ if you wanna hurt them, you’re going to have to get through me, first. “
“ you underestimate how much you mean to me. i wasn’t about to let them hurt you. and i certainly wasn’t about to let them even consider killing you. “
“ i told you before. i’m not gonna let anything in this world nor the next harm you. “
“ you need to get out of here! go! i’ll buy you some more time! “
“ what are you doing?! i told you, get out of here! now! “
“ get it through your head, i’m not gonna just leave you here! “
“ now’s not the time to play the martyr, got it? you’ve got a good long life ahead of you, and i intend to keep it that way. “
“ you need to go now, okay? don’t worry. i’ve got this. they’ll want to be trying a lot harder if they want to keep me from protecting you. “
“ don’t worry about me; are YOU okay? “
“ damnit, [NAME]! i TOLD you not to play the hero! “
“ i can look after myself, you know. but… i do appreciate you stepping in back there. you saved my life. “
“ why are you so invested in keeping me alive? “
“ that was for saving my life. “
“ it’s alright, they’re gone now… are you alright? hey, look at me; are you hurt at all? “
“ are you insane?! run! “
“ were you preoccupied, or did you just really want a dramatic heroic entrance before you saved my ass? “
“ are you okay? “
“ yeah, yeah, i’m okay… are you okay? “
“ hey! why don’t you try picking on someone your own size! “
“ hurry! take my hand! “
“ get in the car! now! “
“ i’m sorry i was late… are you alright? they didn’t hurt you too badly, did they? “

@onceinterred sent: ❛ door . hold a door open for my muse .
Barty could hardly see over the stack of file boxes he was trying to carry. They swayed perilously as he made his way towards his office at a pace so sedate he might have called it geriatric on any other day.
“Wo-oooah,” he said, going still as the stack rocked, papers threatening to flutter away, before he continued. He wouldn’t drop it. He’d be fine, he’d take his time.
He had not even considered the door to his office, closed by a helpful janitor, and regarded the stack in his arms. He could balance it with his knee, steady with one hand as he stood on one leg, reach for the door—
Silent as anything, a form slipped into his vision out of his blind spot to open the door. Bryar.
“Oh, thank you,” he said, renewing his grip on the file boxes. “You’re a life saver, you know that?”
Bryar’s feet carried him down familiar halls with ease, but they never ended where he thought they would. Long gone were the guardhouse and the stables. A sort of melancholy twitched inside his chest like a bird that wasn’t quite dead. Long gone, indeed... But things weren’t just missing, new novelties were added in their place. They’d replaced the tower staircase with a box that hoisted people to the top with only the press of a button! The halls were bustling with more activity than ever. Hundreds of students, with their dreams and their lives all milled about the castle grounds. Better this than to have left the building derelict and abandoned.
Where once he’d found a friend’s bedchambers, now he found Doctor Oobleck’s office-- perhaps it wasn’t so different after all, he thought with a private snicker.
The Huntsman in question teetered into view halfway down the hall. A stack of paper rose above his head and threatened to flood from his tenuous grasp. Before Bryar had realized it, he found himself standing in front of him, arm out to hold open the door.
With a sunny smile, Bryar lifted his hand to tilt an invisible cap once the good doctor was inside. Gesturing to the great stack, he raised a brow and tilted his head.
softness / tenderness and unremitting strength are not mutually exclusive, i am both soft and strong with equal intensity
👗 ❌
Headcanon Memes // Accepting!
[ 👗 ] what is your muse’s fashion sense like? are they able to dress the way they want to? what would they wear in an ideal world?
Understated is probably the best word for it. Growing up, Bryar’s options were incredibly limited because he came from a poor rural family in the Valian countryside. Then came wartime, and extravagant fashion became even less attainable. He preferred high-waisted trousers, simple poet shirts or tunics and the like on his off days. Anything he could move freely in and still look presentable in the king’s court. It was in full armour that he was often most expressive. His armour had floral filigree and he wore with it a layered green cowled cloak about his shoulders. For desert fighting, such as the final fights in Vacuo, he wore leather armour and lighter fabrics.
That said, no. It wasn’t how he preferred to dress. Bryar loves colour, he loves the exotic and the new. Luckily, in the modern day he has much more exposure to such lovely things. He prefers green overall, but sunny yellows also spark joy. Decorative embroidery is another luxury that he marvels at in the modern day and likes to incorporate in daily wear. Bryar is also more free to be flexible in gender presentation in the modern day and likes to play with a mixture of masculine and feminine forms of dress. However his combat uniform is largely unchanged, if streamlined a bit for the faster paced flow of modern warfare.
[ ❌ ] is there something your muse struggles with that they might never overcome? what is it? why do they have so much trouble with it?
Despite engaging in meditation, Bryar has trouble sitting with loss and dwelling on his past. He continues pushing ahead through everything. If he pauses to think on all that he’s lost, all that hurt could overwhelm him. Paralyze him. Or that’s his fear, anyway-- not consciously, but a subconscious attempt to protect himself. The knight is displaced in time to an extent that most of those he knew, those he grew up with and loved, are dead or getting close. The war he dedicated his life to is long over, the king he fought for is long dead, everything he knew is long gone. If he thought too long on it, the grief would bury him all over again.
All that must have happened for a reason. He must have been brought here for a reason.
Destiny is a cruel mistress, but if he truly believed that then he’s afraid he might give up fighting for her.
this is the easy answer, i can talk about the double edged sword of devotion and love forever

Chivalry, but in an explicitly queer way
Duty, divorced from militaristic connotations, doing the right thing because it is the right thing and because it needs to be done even if nobody will thank you for it
Tradition, as connection and humanity and the knowledge that there are some things we have done for thousands of years because we love each other
Actually I want to reclaim a lot of words from right-wingers/conservatives
