Hey, we’ve created a masterlist for Tellius roleplay blogs as well as blogs with Tellius verses, just for the purpose of being a resource for FE9/10 rpers and anyone else who might make use of such a thing! If you’re interested in being listed here, check out how here, and maybe pass this post around to help it reach the rest of the community!
second of all, i made an edward blog over at @strikhedoniias, so feel free to follow me there? ive been spending less time on this crap site lately but i missed leonardo a lot so. waves arms! hello! i guess i return;;
(( waves arms about, does a backflip and yells??? im sorry i havent gotten on for so long ive just been in a massive slump and an odd bout of summer depression- I’ll be getting to my remaining drafts and starters asap!
It was rare that they ever saw eachother, rarer still when off-duty- Micaiah’s duties as Queen kept her in Nevassa, mostly at the heart of official matters, while he was over in the more practical areas- Rebuilding buildings, arranging, negotiating, recruiting, lending a helping hand, sifting through paperwork. So, this came as a pleasant surprise- But, truth be told, Leonardo was worried. Very much so, actually- She’s been doing so much for the good of the entire country, and he feared that she was running herself ragged. He knew he was on the verge of doing so as well.
“Queen Micaiah.” he began, bowing his head with a small smile, before it falters just as quickly as it had come, replaced by concern. “It’s been a while. Have you been well?”
He gave a nod and allowed the blond to gather his belongings, deciding the sooner the better. He didn’t blame the archer for feeling a bit uneasy walking into an army from a land he didn’t belong to, but there wasn’t much the other boy could do. If he couldn’t get home right now, this was the wrong place to be wrapped up in things by himself.
The wait wasn’t long, and the others in the army were waiting for Leaf to return with him. Well, Levin seemed to want to confirm he wasn’t a danger, but Leaf knew better than almost anyone there who was a danger as their enemy and who wasn’t. Looking at the blond made him decide a while ago that he couldn’t possibly get wrapped up with the wrong people. With the personality he’d been seeing thus far, the archer would likely have none of it.
“This is a bit weird, so I’m sorry about that… but I think you’ll be okay. My leader’s adviser seems to want to make sure you’re no threat, but it’s not a problem.He might seem rude, but he’s really just doing the best he can to make sure we’re all safe.” Were things the same way in this person’s land? It was clear enough that he knew how to fight, and he definitely understood what Leaf meant when he said war. He knew what it meant to fight, and something told Leaf he’d been through quite a bit himself.
Actually, that was probably better. If he had been new to the bow, he would have been in trouble if he wasn’t sure how to properly defend himself. The things Leaf did and knew now were because of his own harsh childhood, and he well remembered the days he and those around who were around him all his life had no choice but to steal. Stealing and living in hiding… In a way, being in this army, out in the open like this, was almost a blessing in comparison.
“I don’t think you’ll ever really feel free and comfortable, but this is a better alternative to being alone in a land where innocents are even being dragged into messes.” He sighed at the thought, deciding he should at least tell Leonardo. “The guys we’re fighting, well… they round up children ages seven to thirteen and make them servants to a dark god if they meet certain qualifications. They kill the families who resist. So, really, it’s not just like this is a war between two countries or something. We’re not fighting for land and it’s not a political dispute. We just have no other option. We fight to survive, and to stop those guys from ruining every land they step foot into. If you came across them on your own without knowing what they really were, you probably wouldn’t survive… Their magic is really strong. But if you coming with us spares you, then I’m glad for that.”
His current belongings didn’t amount to more than a single pack, and while he was glad that there was less to keep track of he was also miffed that he hadn’t had the foresight to bring more necessities- Then again, that would have been a greater issue if he hadn’t joined Leaf’s company, so he decided not to dwell on it too greatly- He should be capable of pulling his own weight in supplies, if it comes down to it. Anything to assist rather than be a burden.
The man questioning him wasn’t entirely new, either- The others had every right to be suspicious, and he would have done the same in their situation, albeits not as openly, as well. Sothe, however, was another story entirely. Leonardo simply brushes it off with a nod and understanding, says that he will be fine.
Though, when Leaf spoke of the acts of the Loptyr, the archer felt an abrupt spike of suspicion, before it ebbed away to quiet rage and disbelief- It’s not as much like the situation back in Daein as he thought, but it doesn’t scare him off- It only has the opposite effect on him, and his brows furrowed, jaw clenching at the sheer audacity and cruelty of it all- If the senators had no conscience, then what were these people? What were these people taking children and tearing families apart with the sole purpose of forcing some god upon them?
He couldn’t fathom how a single god could cause so much chaos, how a single sect could gain so much traction and power over several countries, if he was understanding this correctly. It was ludicrous. Maddening, even. To the point it was difficult to even believe this was real.
“Monsters.” he muttered under his breath, hands clenching into fists. Then he realised what exactly he was doing, and the tension in his shoulders dissipated, apologetically, almost. But the disbelief, the anger remained.
“Is- Is this true? How could this- What manner of dark magic- Why would they do such a thing?”
Free time, while not rare, was still a blessing of sorts, granting him reprieve from paperwork, patrols and training for a short while- And there was almost always no question in his mind as to what he should do during said time. That day he’d opted to visit the local library- He heard that it had a sizable section of play scripts, and he had to admit that he was intrigued.
The library was silent, thankfully, just the way they normally should be, and Leonardo took a deep breath, the familiar smell of worn pages and leather covers returning to the forefront of his memory, comforting and nostalgic at the same time. The archer smiled, somewhat, before looking around- This particular one was foreign to him, quite unlike the one in Nevassa.
However, before he had the chance to start the attempt of navigating his way through the rows of bookshelves, he spotted a familiar figure not too far off- The blond had to squint for a moment before recognising the other.
What was the Greil Mercenaries’ tactician doing in a Daein border town?
A mixture of curiousity and duty spurring him onwards, Leonardo approached the mage, hesitant. There wasn’t even any guarantee that the other would remember him, but the doubt wasn’t enough to stop him, at least, for now.
“Soren, wasn’t it? May I ask if you have any business here?”
Hey, I have a really nice surprise.
Tibarn is nearly ready to go, so I’ll be releasing this blog to the public. Have at it, u vultures. i know you’ve been waiting for him. Reblog it if you wanna to spread the word.
Just remember to look here and here for whatever you need, thanks!
A lady of honor and pride, a lady of maternal love and an undying will. She is a lover and a fighter, she is the warmth of a mother’s protection. Fiery red hair in the winds upon the back of a valiant beast. She will risk her life till the very end, (I must TRAIN everyday, my skills must NOT become rusty. If I were to let go, ALL WHO I FIGHT FOR WILL TOO.) Do not push her around, YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE, you will not see the DAYLIGHT, you will never feel the LIGHT’S WARMTH again.
She is the Vice-Commander of the GREIL MERCENARIES.
AND SHE WILL NOT BACK DOWN.
One soldier attended to his leg while the other advanced, he had made a very unfortunate mistake of underestimating who was before him. He marched professionally, with shield before him and spear held firmly in hand. A solider by trade no doubt, Petrine hated him all the more for it.
He jabbed the weapon forward with a firm and accurate thrust but found himself surprised when the edge of his “victim’s” blade caught his weapon and then batted it aside with relative ease. The two were a world apart in skill. She followed up with a quick step, stomping upon his foot and then driving the end of her handle past his shield. The quick, forceful motion broke his guard and left him entirely exposed.
“How?!”
There was no mercy or humor to answer him as she cut him down with a fluid and quick motion of her blade. Sudden surprise turned into a scream which turned into silence. The Begnion soldier toppled to the ground while his ally looked upon pale and concerned. There was a dull throbbing in Petrine’s back, it was always there now. During the Mad King’s War, even without her proper equipment she could have brute forced her way through that defense with ease. But now she was not so sure.
“Are we having fun yet?” He hadn’t time to move before she split his helm and left him dead in the alley.
“They’ll be upon us soon.” Petrine took the time to clean her weapon of filthy Begnion blood with a dirty rag she kept upon hand. “As much as I would enjoy killing the lot of them, I would prefer to avoid a skirmish. You might get hurt.”
Leonardo was suddenly very, very glad she was his temporary ally and not an enemy- Her skill was visible to even the most untrained of eyes, the most inexperienced of spectators, and his respect, as well a his fear of her grew ever more. Blue eyes fixated on the two dead men for a few moments, before he could no longer bear the sight and he averted his eyes, turning back to look at Diana. A veteran, for sure. She hadn’t been lying when she spoke of her experience.
He felt like a toddler in comparision.
“I... Yes. Th- thank you.” The boy managed, anyways, looking down and away again, back in the direction of where their hideout- and hopefully, the rest of the brigade was. “It’s this way- We- We could either take a direct route- It takes less time, but we’re more likely to get caught, due to the routes, they might be more patrolled- Or we can take a slight detour.”
Another grimace at the thought of getting caught again, and his stomach did a little flip as the scent of blood carried from the once-soldiers across the small stretch to himeself. What he did know was that she was right, they can’t afford to linger here for too long, especially with the soldier that had gone off to seek for reinforcements- and the archer personally didn’t want to stay here with the dead, anyways.
The sound of armor clanking and Begnion troops shouting not too far away didn’t help- He’d wasted too much time already. His gut told him to move- And also to stop for a second and vomit, but he ignored the latter impulse. It wouldn’t be of any use to lose his lunch now.
Fighting off the fear that threatened to pin his feet againt the pavement beneath them, he didn’t wait for her judgement and slipped into another alley, simply for the sake of moving, getting away from here and the corpses with their wide, glassy eyes. Regardless of their decision, this path was a good way to get the soldiers off their tails for the time being.
&&. ( ALRIGHT, let’s talk about GENDER ROLES FOR MUSES. )
( i know. this conversation is a long, winding one that can go on for hours. but what the ROLEPLAYING COMMUNITY needs to understand is that ROLEPLAYING is a way to explore writing and especially to explore YOUR MUSE, and you should NOT let real-world society DICTATE what you CAN AND CAN’T DO WITH YOUR MUSE.
in this case, i’m talking about GENDER ROLES IN OUR SOCIETY. because, big surprise, it’s still a huge part of ours. but that does NOT mean you need to conform to it. for all of our lives, we’ve been taught that DRESSES are FEMININE. that LONG HAIR is FEMININE. that MAKE-UP and LONG LASHES are FEMININE. we’ve been taught that SUITS are MASCULINE. that PHYSICAL STRENGTH is MASCULINE. of course, we’re now questioning things and changing it, and that’s great, but there’s always going to be that lingering feeling of “that’s DIFFERENT.” that’s “WEIRD.” it’s “NOT NORMAL.”
get rid of that lingering feeling. STOP being so SCARED of breaking gender roles with your muses. who decided to slap a gender on hair length? on pieces of cloth? on physical appearance? sounds really DUMB when you step back and look at it, doesn’t it? then CHANGE IT. don’t be afraid to BREAK OUT OF THESE ROLES THAT SOCIETY PUTS ON PEOPLE. the moment you backspace that headcanon, that au idea, that ask answer, just because you didn’t want your male muse to be seen as “WEAK,” as “FEMININE,” or “GIRLY,” you’re being restricted by those roles that society has placed on us.
if your female muse is going to kick ass and take names? DESCRIBE IT. she’s strong as a bull and doesn’t have time to play games? she’s got the world at her feet and all the power in her hands? DESCRIBE IT. if she likes her hair to be short and our of her face, if she doesn’t like skirts or dresses and if she loves a good fight? DESCRIBE IT.
DON’T. BE. AFRAID.
if your male muse is gorgeous? he has beautiful eyes that are outlined by long, fluttering eyelashes and soft, fragile skin? DESCRIBE IT. he’s not afraid to cry and show his feelings? he moves with all the grace and beauty of a ballet dancer and his voice is sweet and soft? DESCRIBE IT. he feels comfortable in dresses and skirts, he loves to feel like he’s pretty, like he’s beautiful, and he wants to style his long hair in any way his heart desires? DESCRIBE IT.
DON’T. BE. AFRAID.
IT DOESN’T MAKE HER “MASCULINE” !! IT DOESN’T MAKE HIM “FEMININE” !!
FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT MAKES THEM HUMAN !!
i don’t care if your muse is MALE, FEMALE, NON-CONFORMING, or A FUCKING ALLIGATOR WITH BRIGHT PINK SPOTS. if she’s strong and doesn’t fuck around? YOU SAY THAT SHE’S AMAZING. if he’s dazzling and delicate? YOU SAY THAT HE’S BEAUTIFUL. if they’re feeling in the mood to absolutely destroy those damn gender roles? DO IT! DON’T BE AFRAID! since when should GENDER be a factor in defining YOUR MUSE’S PREFERENCES AND INTERESTS?
NOBODY IS GOING TO CALL YOU OUT FOR HAVING A STRONG, BEAUTIFUL, BOLD MUSE WHO DOES NOT FIT INTO SOCIETY’S DUMB FUCKING GENDER ROLES. and if they do? then DON’T LET THEM STOP YOU. who are they to try and restrict your writing? to try and limit your imagination and your creativity to what society expects of you? people are afraid of change. you don’t have to be one of those people. this is a WONDERFUL COMMUNITY with ENDLESS OPPORTUNITY to explore things that are “TABOO” or “UNACCEPTED” in real life at this time. use it. cherish this time, because you’re going to learn SO MUCH by pushing the boundaries of what’s “NORMAL” or not. some day, when our ridiculously SLOW society changes and adapts to these new beliefs, YOU’LL BE THERE. and you’ll be PROUD THAT YOU PUSHED FOR CHANGE.
so PLEASE. if you take ANYTHING from this post, let it be that YOUR MUSE SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO FOLLOW OUR SOCIETY’S EXPECTATIONS. you should never let something as feeble and ridiculous as “GENDER ROLES” stop you from writing your muse to your fullest extent, from pouring your heart and soul into what you believe your muse’s beliefs, interests, and preferences are.
HAVE FUN WRITING YOUR MUSE. POUR YOUR HEART AND SOUL INTO WRITING YOUR MUSE. AND NEVER, EVER LET SOCIETY’S BELIEFS OR STANDARDS STOP YOU FROM DOING SO. )
So the purpose of this meme is to give a little info on your muses without having to rely on others to fill your ask with meme questions. I know how disappointing it can be to come back to an empty ask so I wanted to create a meme that anyone and everyone can do (mun and muse).
The rules are simple, you do not need to be tagged to fill out the questions, but once you have you must reblog and tag 12 of your followers to spread the love. You can fill it out as many times as your heart desires (we all know muses can change with their character development.)
