[Maybe the staff is fucking around with the site again?]
[Could be? I tried it again and eventually the page did load, it just took like a full minute to do it. I know I haven’t been monkeying around with the code or settings or anything, so I guess I’ll tentatively blame tumblr and hope it gets resolved?
and re: that other post, I would love to hear more thoughts about this. It’s a really interesting set of problems, and I don’t see a lot about it cross my dash. On my fandom dash I see a lot of “this is doing it wrong/this is doing it right,” and there’s always good stuff from writingwithcolor (which is a great blog, btw, if you’re looking for resources), but a lot of things are focused on writing fic, and there aren’t many discussions about how we tackle these things as roleplayers, which has its own set of complications.]
@buccaneercaptain / @bloodandwinemuses asked: “I’ve never tried this spell before.”
-
“Oh, do not worry, it isn’t terribly difficult.” Quinn wasn’t a particularly skilled practitioner of magic but they did have their specialized expertise, enough, evidently, to attract the attentions of a sorceress. People willing to practice blood magics were rare, but extended knowledge of spells and systems was nearly nonexistent; they were the only living blood mage they knew of, and a young one at that, hardly looking like a expert in anything beyond interests of youth.
Their actions, in addition to a face yet to hollow out, belied their age. Quinn was skittish around the woman, scurrying around as they looked for materials and ingredients, fingers restless whenever they were emptied of herbs or clay. Nervous, even though this was their shop.
“If you don’t mind my asking, what are you using this spell for?” Somewhat asked of curiosity, what they could possibly be needed for, but also of business - intent was crucial in crafting anything of magic.

Which muses speak another language than English? Which language(s)?
Oh! all of them, sorta.
Quinn, in their usual fantasy-ish verse, speaks Elvish, along with ASL, in all their verses. I’m not sure if sign language exactly counts as a language other than English, but hey.
Hadi’s first language is Arabic, so there’s that.
Aubrey, again, in his home verse, speaks Elvish. otherwise, he isn’t exactly fluent in anything else, but decent in French.
Ezra, I’m pretty sure, is not fluent in anything either, but knows a suitable chunk of Spanish learned in school.
[Could you perhaps write meta on how Horst's and Johannes's relationship's changed after book five? Are there nuances we haven't really had a chance to see in previous books for instance?]
|| Ooh, this is a fun one. Ignoring that I hate how Horst was treated in book five (really? he’s a total idiot? you expect me to believe that he’s never displayed any competence before? did the author just... forget about book four???), I really like the implications for their relationship.
While there wasn’t a whole lot of visible, active development between those two, with Johannes’ relationships with the wonderful women in his life being at the forefront, the way his relationships with them has turned into a friendship will greatly make his relationship with Horst a lot smoother. Now that Horst can see that his brother is opening up and making friends, I think he’ll have even more faith in his brother, and Johannes being comfortable around other people will make him more comfortable around his brother.
The fact that they’re prepared to die for each other as brothers has been a thing for a while now, but I think they’re finally... family, in a personal way, not a blood way. I think that in the aftermath of book five, they’ll become a lot closer than they ever have been.

Remember that we DID want to throw our two Avery’s together? Imagine that confusion. lol. Good to know, though!
[lmao I was thinking about that answer she gave and realizing Eilidh jumping into your Alex’s arms would probably startle the crap out of him, whereas the other Alex picks her up all the time :-p]
