this semester has been rly tough on me so far is it alright if i cld have a little headpat .. or perhaps a few words of encouragement from the charming oleander himself ?
"Words of encouragement, you say? I'm not sure there's much I could tell you that's more valuable than the knowledge you've made it this far already."
"I'm certain you'll come through this hard time more dazzling than ever! I'll be here, waiting to see it when that day comes."
Happy Birthday, Keir! Are there any birthday traditions you like to do?
(Programming note from Violet: Keir's birthday was December 1, but we got a lot of asks after I closed shop for the day, so here's a belated birthday Q&A.)
"Not really. It's just a day, no reason to make a fuss."
"I'll get a drink at the pub at the end of the day and let everyone be assholes about how old I am."
"How about some peace and quiet?"
"..."
"Something useful, or something I can eat. Maybe a banana, whatever the fuck that is."
"You know what? Fine. That'll work."
(KEIR RECEIVES: birthday headpats!)
BONUS:
Mugi has seen your love on the Discord server and is very happy!
I've had terrible experiences with Leander's. I'm sorry to all the Leander fans out there, but I can't stand people like him. I relate with Vere on this one. The artificiality is aggravating.
Will make you feel understood and special, but it's just his charm. He gets off on it tbh.
The type to laugh at jokes he doesn't think is funny to feed the person's ego. His laugh is obnoxious (rich person's laugh + loud cuz he thinks louder = more genuine? No lol), too, so everyone turns to him wondering what's making him laugh sm. He's just being fake
Ah, DOES NOT know personal space. Is super touchy even with strangers and pushes their boundaries.
(More under the cut)
People pleaser, people pleaser. The type to not stand up for you when someone talks smack about you behind your back. Instead would give a polite laugh, maybe add his own opinions on you to make the shit-talker feel understood, then would steer the conversation to smthg else. Take that as you will.
Leaves you in the dark on certain things that will make him look bad. More than likely you find out through other ppl which makes you feel betrayed.
Smiles, even when he's pissed off. When you see his mask falter it's like whiplash, makes you wonder if he's ever real w you cuz he doesn't talk about his neg opinions. Only shares altruistic opinions to make himself look better.
Would not communicate when he has problem with you. Instead, he'll give you a look, no smiles, no facade, just hostility. It's annoying when you're the type to talk things out.
Competitive as hell, with friends, too. If he isn't in the center of attention than he'll get very insecure, and would go into pick-me mode so he can get compliments from others
"I'm not as good as ___, haha."
"No way, Leander, you're amazing, be more confident!"
And he will do this RIGHT in front of you, too (Day in the life of Ais dealing with Leander's jealousy)
Likes to play mediator to seem like the bigger person, but still ends up choosing sides. Your actions aren't matching your words fool.
Would also play mediator so he can get more information from both sides. More knowledge = more power = more control
On a positive note, Leander’s are very good at reading your emotions so would be more attentive to your needs. Also open-minded and would be a good companion if you want to have fun. Unfortunately the type to say yes yes to hanging out even when he’s on a tight schedule and get irritated when it wasn’t as exciting, like JUST SAY NO BITCH GAH DAMN. Prioritize urself.
When you start to distance yourself after he treats you like crap, that’s when he starts to correct himself, but it’s too late atp. Would get rlly salty when he sees you hanging out with other ppl feels like he’s being replaced
Would act friendly with you even after you're no longer close but it’s a facade :DD When he's alone he's brooding.
Kuras
Politely distant.
Kuras is the coworker that's been there longer than you have so you admire him from afar, hoping you'd be at his level one day.
Remembers your name even if you talk to him like ONCE, makes you feel special and seen.
Has the sexiest ASMR voice. It's the professional type of voice that’s very well-practiced and you just watch him on the phone not fumbling over there words like :0 They make it look so easy
Being friends with him wouldn’t be one-sided. He would plan a catch-up with you grabbing coffee. Would pay for the bill without asking.
He is a dominant person, but is often perceived as submissive bc his courtesy and gentlemanly behavior. No, no, he’s always in control. He just knows that that being kind in the face of conflict makes you the one more in control of the situation. There’s dominance in self-submission
An amazing listener. Has the ability to give advice to you without making you feel defensive on your stance.
Believes in integrity, but wouldn’t condone being “brutally honest.” Don’t weaponize your excuse of “honesty” to be a jerk towards others. Kinda hypocritical bc sometimes he sucks at being tactical with words, but he tries to understand, which is the difference from ppl that feel entitled to state their opinion in a “fighting for dominance” type of way
Stubborn lol. Stubborn in a “my way or the high way” kind of way. Needs to be convinced with logic or wouldn’t budge that his way of doing things is better. Can get tiring convincing them.
Also is very detail-oriented that every little thing needs to be analyzed before he proceeds. If you’re the type to “wing it” like me, it’ll test your patience but also their attention to detail helps out later on. He’ll hit you with the “I told you so” look
Too hard on himself. Would feel bad for being impolite over smthg minor. PLS REINFORCE HIS AWESOMENESS YOURE DOING GREAT OK.
Would remember something he’s done in the past and hate himself, it’s the catholic guilt. He knows there’s no point in remembering but he can’t help but think of how he could’ve handled something better. Overthinker.
Acts like an old man. Likes little peaceful towns with a good suburban vibes. Loves discovering little stores and Knick knacks. Also gives u gifts out of nowhere for keeping him company.
Mhin
I also know a few Mhins but I like them better than Leander’s lmao. Their quietness piques my interest and I find myself wanting to get to know them more, even if it’s one-sided and low-key an interview. They tend to be very interesting people.
If you gain their favor, than they're so caring towards you. Would seek your attention once in a blue moon like a cat. Sometimes it feels like you’re always chasing them, be it through gift-giving, reaching out, etc. Will get repetitive at times.
Their independence is admirable and partially the reason why you seek their presence so often. You don’t want them to feel lonely.
They’re passive aggressive, it’s low-key cute, but also annoying. Just say what you want to say!
They have self-conscious tendencies, be it their looks or their talents. Instead of being an annoying pick-me like Leander, they start to get more frustrated and depressed, unfortunately. Wouldn’t bring it up unless you do.
They’re also popular romantically but they NEVER realize. Tends to get teased often by people crushing on them.
Is so honest. Mhin would tell you straight what they think about you, which sucks if you have a soft-heart.
So honest, borderline an asshole. Ex. You’re losing some hair? They'd point it out. No hesitation. Very embarrassing if you're with your friends. They suck at thinking before they speak.
The type to trauma dump on you. But if they do, you’re lucky bc it means they trust you.
They are naturally attracted to kind, peaceful introverts. Mhin isn't a sociable person, so it would be a whole lot easier for them if you are also not sociable. Craves kindness and peace.
You can appreciate their quietness. They don’t talk, so their words hold more weight. Great at handling kids cuz they are scared of them.
The type to complain about smthg you did but helps you. ACTS OF SERVICE !!
Their laugh is so rare that it makes you surprised and gaping. But you love it whenever it happens.
