@astoran-exemplar / only one of us is having a good time at the beach

“Hey. Hey, you. Hey! Wake up!” It took more effort than she’d be willing to admit to haul the stranger up by the shoulders. Pressing an ear to his mouth, she listened carefully, then blanched. “Damn it-- hold on--” The Reduvia hissed quietly as she drew it from its sheath, working it under the straps that held the man’s plate to him and yanking. Thankfully, the knife was sharp enough to cut through the leather without too much trouble. Once she’d gotten the breastplate, the gorget, and the plackart off and set them aside, she flipped the man onto his stomach, keeping one arm under his torso and raising the other high, only to bring it down on his back with as much force as she could muster shy of damaging his spine. “Come on,” she grunted, and repeated the action. “Come on, come on!” Shifting to set her knee just below his diaphragm, she hit him again with the base of her elbow.

I want y'all to know that I have talked to @astoran-exemplar nearly every day for the past ten years.

Conclusion: he's a stinky nerd.

This ashen body has no ability to feel, but somewhere among the myriad souls inhabiting it, at least one remembers how it felt to stand on the shore and let the surf wash over their toes. It’s that which Lothric experiences now, boots sinking into the sand. There are still tides. Somewhere, something is still working correctly. 

He can see the great putrefying corpse of a hydra lying in the shallows some ways off, gulls swarming above it, and further up, their castle perched upon the wall. A bonfire burns in the sand, but for now, they are alone. As alone as they can be, carting so many other souls around inside, but at least they’re all being quiet and letting Lothric and his brother enjoy the ocean he’d never gotten to visit during his lifetime. 

The kiln lies empty and cold, its flame held hostage. Poor unkindled. Imagine, making it all that way, struggling, dying many, many deaths... only to find the door to your destiny closed in your face. What a shame.

meme for roleplay muns.

5. What is a character you love, but don’t think you can write?

i love marika but if i tried to write her i would explode. i would spend my full time being like. i hate her. i hate her. i hate her and she is evil. and while it would be immensely fun to dig into the complexities of the Omnipotent Girly ( because she’s not just evil ) i think the cost to my psyche would be too great.

6. Name 3 things you love most about your muse/muses.

uhh i love that i was able to slot merri so neatly into the lore without breaking anything. i love that she holds grudges and makes snap judgments and flips out from time to time. i love that she is a lesbian. and i know i’m harping on the Girl thing a lot but please understand that i was terrified to roleplay a woman on tumblr for. like. a decade. and more terrified to make her gay because i was like. no male character will come here unless it’s to ship and i’ll be done for in terms of consistent interaction. but that didn’t happen and i’m so pleased.

13. Is there one trope you can’t stand?

‘my character is just sitting staring at the sky waiting for someone to approach them’ they’d better not be. and like. can this be done from time to time? yes of course. but if i have to spend my first reply on every thread being like HI. HELLO. I AM APPROACHING INSTEAD OF RUNNING AWAY I AM COMING RIGHT TO YOU. i will cry. i will hello you once and the next time i must insist that you have something to say to the girly. it doesn’t even have to be with your mouth you can like. do a little dance. throw shit at her. idc. merri is developing a complex. for just a ‘how are you’ or ‘i didn’t see you there’ a day, you can save her from thinking she’s the only bitch who knows how to greet someone. this does NOT apply if we’ve already plotted out merri dropping on your character from the sky. that does not give her complexes and is in fact enrichment.
