Here are the screens @pearlescent-scales and I took of Jikhaa and Azena for the 10th anniversary mosaic! I went through the entire mosaic and caught only the last one in there.

AURAUGUST: HEAT WAVE • PRIMAL

What's a little heat? Fire's the only secret he has, burning like a sun beneath his skin.

AURAUGUST: HOME • CONTEST

As a lifelong nomad, so to speak, Jikhüüngerel is no stranger to... well, strangers, be they friendly or hostile. Though gentle and dismissive (read: runs away from his problems), even he can't escape the fight that runs in his blood.

AURAUGUST: LAND AND HAND • FLORAL FANTASY

Neither florist nor gardener yet always a curious, casual hand. Aside from sun and water, he knows little else of their care--but teach him a thing or two more and he'll never leave them alone.

What Colour Character Are You?

Red...

...characters tend to be both quiet and observant as well as loud and dramatic. They are often brash and impulsive, and tend to act on instinct rather than planning ahead. They are quite self-sacrificing, often veering into self-destructive, and they push themselves to their limits trying to succeed. They tend to be stubborn, and it might take a lot to change their mind. They have a hard time expressing their feelings, and may come off as either emotionless, self-absorbed, or perpetually angry.

They don’t have a ton of friends, and when they do, it’s often by circumstance rather than choice (although they grow to fiercely love their friends). They are not usually innately good at fitting into social situations, and can be awkward and out of place in them. They can come off as unhumorous because of how sincere and honest they tend to be, but tend to just have a dryer, sarcastic sense of humor. They do often think of others first, but their motivations for it might not be entirely selfless. They usually have a hard time conceivably lying, and are quite earnest without meaning to be. They put their full effort into what they do, and push themselves to improve at all costs.

They get easily defensive, and feel like they have to prove themselves to earn anyone’s respect. They have a strong sense of internal morality and high standards for themselves. They also hold others to their internal high standards, which can cause a lot of conflict if not worked out. They tend to have bad relationships with their parental figures, who were usually either absent or abusive, and contributed to their toxic view of themselves.

At their core, red characters want to be loved and accepted, but have often been denied it, leading them to build up lots of defenses. Others need to be patient with them and give them a safe space to be themselves as they open up and begin to flourish.

Quiz here.

I haven’t been checking my dash all that much so I’m not sure who’s still active or has already done this! But pulling from my recent activity, I tag @bolt-from-the-dark, @ffxivtribehydrae​ (I saw you did this for Dubus, but maybe Dusk if you’re game to go again? I still owe mood boards...), @ashenbun​, @lumi-ignites-dawn-ffxiv​, @windupsanson​ (if you do these?). If I don’t follow you already, I might if you interact (but generally I don’t follow aesthetic blogs).

Is this a dream?

Food meme for Jikhaa!

I was a little conflicted on his salt tolerance but I think in the end, if you presented him with a pile of salt, he would politely decline. (But he would eat a lemon I guess.)
