birthday gift for @cipherr !!! ✨💕✨💕✨💕

Mheera seemed like the purrfect choice for that 80s/90s Anime Villain Aesthetic ˓˓ฅ₍˄ุ.͡ ̫.˄ุ₎ฅ˒˒

[seabunnii]

so OBVIOUSLY i gotta come at you with the pros and cons of dating Yexia :3c 🔥🍅

🔥 🔥 🔥 one disaster tomato coming up >;3c

also starting with cons because uh, buckle in

invest in ear plugs. her inside voice is LOUD YELLING, try not to imagine what her outside voice is

she has so much anger, and somehow even with how much she expresses there is still so much More pent up. an endless source of being angry about SOMETHING 

tied into the last one - a lot of the anger is her not being good at processing emotions and getting frustrated ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

sometimes things will just be on fire

is ridiculously competitive and Tries Too Hard to be better at everything to prove points

pros:

will be the fiercest and most loyal guard dog. no one will get by her to hurt you she will crush anyone who even tries. has someone ever wronged you/said something bad about you/minorly inconvenienced you, congratulations she will go Take Care of them

incredibly passionate and single-minded so she really throws her all into any relationship she cares about/is very ardent in her love (even if it takes a while for her to get good at expressing it)

if you don’t like paying heating bills she is a personal furnace (however is Sharp so cuddling mileage may very) (this could be pro or con so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

uhhhhhhhhhh 

hmmmmmm

she’s a bit of a disaster*

*at least there is a Cold Girl who can she can reach thermodynamic equilibrium ... oh i mean, love, with ;3

cipherr replied to your photo “lana looks really different if u take off her customisation thing???”

yeahhh the hair color for customized Lana broke horribly with the Nathema fp patch, it used to be her usual blonde :/ i hope they fix it but i guess i won't hold my breath

I think it’s fixed now! it is on one of my charas anyway, i think i also read that in the log of bug fixes and stuff that they fixed lana’s customization issue

[lost-inthyme]

a very belated BLOOP! :'D

psh, it’s been what, a day?

You get Liraea :D

She really loves swooshy cloaks more than she’d care to admit, and especially loves windy days when she’s wearing a swooshy cloak and it does the dramatic whoosh. 

She’s considerably more soft-hearted than she lets on, but it’s tempered by her determination never to be a slave again and to gain as much power as she needs to do ensure that never happens.

When she has too much downtime, she tends to think of ‘what ifs’--anywhere from what if she’d somehow ended up with the Jedi instead or her Force sensitivity wasn’t noticed.

Did...did someone say Eralei vampire AU?? Painting doodle for @cipherr I hope you feel better soon!! ;v;

3, 12, 26, 29, and 36 for The Disasters >:3c

🔥👹🔥 YEAHHH thank you ;3c

3. Are they open about their relationship? How do they feel about public displays of affection?

Nothing about Yexia is exactly subtle so I don’t think it’d be particularly easy for her to keep it a secret in any capacity. x) though i do think there would be a hurdle of her being just, overwhelmed and not embarrassed but like, for all her bluster she’d be horribly new to having a relationship and doing the sappy feely stuff so basically be a total dork and panic when asked about their relationship. But eventually she would just get over it, and she’s a very physical person so lots of public displays of affection from her to Azhiera. :> 

12. Is there a wedding? What was the proposal like? Any kind of honeymoon?

There’s no way these two don’t end up getting married :’D I can’t imagine their wedding would be HUGE but they’d certainly have the support of all their close friends. If Yexia is the one proposing, it’d probably be a bit of a mess honestly, she’d try to be as sincere as possible, had probably talked about it with Vette before and worked on getting all her thoughts together but in the actual moment just end up tripping over words and overthinking it before finally giving up and asking Azhiera straight forward if she wanted to be her wife. For a honeymoon, I think they’d probably decide the best thing for them is to get away from everything (and everyone), and I think they’d probably go somewhere they hadn’t been, just so that they could go somewhere that could be *theirs* and theirs alone, and not hold the baggage of their past :’)

26. How do their friends feel about their relationship? Their families?

Vette is very on board for their relationship!! Number one shipper since day one, and also, they’ve been driving her crazy as she watches them dance around their feelings. As for Yexia’s family. Not. Happy. :)) For starters Yexia was gonna like, lead their family into the future, and she’s throwing that away for a chiss, not another pureblood, and someone from such a low standing. Her siblings are also there, though would be much more mocking of Yexia for her choice. Not that this really has any effect on Yexia as she chooses Azhiera over her family without a doubt :’)

29. How do the handle disasters or emergencies? Minor injuries? Sickness?

Once again, despite her tough girl act, if anything serious were to happen to Azhiera she would PANIC. And whoever hurt her will pay. There is no mercy when Azhiera’s in danger or hurt ;v; And then her entire focus would be on doing whatever she could to help Azhiera/heal her. It would be impossible to drag her away from Azhiera’s side unless she knew she was ok.

36.  What’s their greatest strength as a couple? Their weakness? 

I think their greatest strength is their fierce loyalty to each other. :> At the end of the day, no matter what they’re gonna fight tooth and nail for the other, and defend each other through everything. They’ll lift each other up, and support each other. Their weakness I think is their lack of communication 8) neither are Great at discussing feelings and it usually does take disasters for them to come out, but of course, they get better at that over time :’D

meta topic: Yexia and how she changes over the course of the story :3c (i know i already Know This but i love it a lot and i think it deserves to be OUT THERE ON YOUR BLOG !!!) ♥

you are the bessssttt ;;U;;❤️❤️❤️❤️

prepare for a LOT

I HAVE

SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT YEXIA AND HOW SHE GROWS AND CHANGES

uhhh under a cut because even I wrote more than I expected to

alright here is angry nightmare child’s growth to semi-decent tough girl with a good(ish) heart

let’s start! all the way at the beginning!

Yexia is the 5th of 6 siblings, and the clear favorite  of her parents because she’s the strongest (physically, and more importantly, in the force). It’s not exactly a favoritism that is rewarded with anything other than her parents at least do praise her versus the cold indifference (or sometimes disdain) her parents show to her siblings. They still push her to be stronger, and only encourage her to push herself, to go far, and make it obvious that she’s only successful if she has something to show for it. She’s the one who is going to carry their family name, who is not only going to hold their prestige, but raise up their legacy, make their family name better. Yexia and her siblings are all regularly encouraged to fight each other to ‘improve’ their skills, and they do not hold back. At a fairly young age Yexia has a spar against her force-blind sister Izhae, and leaves half of Izhae’s face covered in a burn scar. (sidenote that I don’t know if I’ve talked about before - instead of base game abilities, I always imagine Yexia’s force abilities being more fire based, to match her…explosive…personality  :’D ) This isn’t the only time she leaves scars on her siblings (granted, she’s also got quite a few from them).

By the time she arrives as an apprentice at Korriban she is well and truly awful. She’s her parents favorite, so she’s nothing but a cocky, overconfident asshole. She thinks she’s the best, and she deserves whatever she wants just because she’s so great. There’s not a lot of people who get along with Yexia because she’s hard to get along with. She’s blunt, and not in the good way - it’s just plain rudeness. Yexia delighted in tormenting and taunting others, because that’s how you show you’re better than them. Whatever she’s doing she rushes in with blind surety and recklessness because of course she knows what’s best, of course she can take down anything and anyone.

However, as an apprentice she’s also faced with, for the first time, realizing that everything isn’t going to come easy to her, it’s not all going to be handed to her. It’s not that she isn’t strong, she is, but in what is news to her, so are plenty of other people. There’s plenty of other strong force-users, some who even rival or exceed her. But she has to be the best, and her instinct in the face of this is just to get angrier, and more reckless, and just be more of an asshole in the quest to prove she’s the strongest.

One of the first things that begins changing her world view is Vette, who really is the first to both not be afraid of Yexia AND not to immediately just (rightfully) hate Yexia for being so insufferable. The two of them working together, and Yexia having to rely on Vette for something she can’t do starts to make Yexia reconsider some things. And also you know, first ever friend! Yay! So Vette is able to put up with Yexia’s assholery, give some of it back, and still be enjoyable and nice and well…it feels good to have a relationship with someone that’s based on anything that isn’t hate or rivalry. Yexia doesn’t really know what to do with herself (which does lead to her falling back on just saying rude or angry shit when she’s overwhelmed/doesn’t know how to correctly process feelings).

And of course next, one of the most important factors, naturally, is Azhiera. Apart from being forced to work together, Yexia is drawn to Azhiera for many reasons, just many she can’t exactly figure out at first. For one, she is definitely attracted to her, but doesn’t even realize that until MUCH. MUCH LATER. But also at the beginning I think, she’s a little afraid of Azhiera to be honest. Azhiera is strong, and in the face of a lot more obstacles than Yexia has ever had to face. Even not knowing Azhiera’s entire history, she is still an alien (and a chiss at that) at the academy. And like Vette, Azhiera is never really intimidated by Yexia, which definitely throws her off. This small, sassy, blueberry just refuses to be intimidated, and actually messes with Yexia. Azhiera sasses Yexia back, “accidentally” zaps her, and Yexia gets angry but always comes up short of actually doing anything more than being all bark and no bite at responding to whatever Azhiera is doing.

The more they work together the more Yexia realizes she likes Azhiera, and that, in a weird way they are friends. But she has no way of … properly conveying that, or conveying how important Azhiera is to her with words so it comes out more through actions. She’s always a shield between Azhiera and enemies, she tries to say nice things even if it usually comes out weirdly phrased, in a yell, or roundabout way.

She also begins talking more about feelings with Vette because Vette (mostly) doesn’t make fun of her. The relationship she ends up having with Vette is, Yexia eventually realizes, the kind of relationship most siblings have. They bicker, they tease each other, but at the end of the day they have each other’s backs. They don’t try to one up each other, she doesn’t feel like she has to be better than Vette - they’re equals. And she starts seeing Azhiera as an equal too (or, honestly maybe placing her above a little bit, not that she’d ever admit it but she’s pretty damn smitten).

Which, as cliché as it is, also contributes to her growth. Finding something other than anger as a passion, something like love, a desire to protect her friends and found family - that really pushes her to finally start thinking beyond herself. She (as long as it took) finally begins to realize the ways everyone she encounters has a whole life, their own passions and goals, and that she could never be the best at everything. Everyone has their own strengths - and for the longest time she was only using her strength in the pursuit to become stronger and nothing more. She is still a pretty brutal Sith, and still works her way up in the Empire, but she’s not quite as unforgiving, she’s more willing to show mercy rather than brutally end anyone who crosses her.

(I still haven’t finished warrior’s story though know most of it so bare with me as I skip ahead to expansions!)

Later on she ends up working as Linalae’s right-hand officer (whatever that position is?? idk), because by the time they’re facing Valkorion and Arcann, Yexia is a much more mature person. She still uses her outside voice more than often, is quick to anger and often very intimidating but she’s better at stepping back and actually evaluating situations, in actually giving fair responses to situations. She’s also finally able to take orders from others, and recognize someone like Linalae as a good leader, and someone worth following. (Begrudgingly she also becomes something of a squad 'leader’ for a group of blueberries that has until now been Vette and Azhiera, is joined by my inquisitor Ziseshis, and eventually any other blue babe in the alliance who realizes, they can all kind of stand behind her and let her take all the damage for them, even if she complains and yells about it, she’s gonna protect them).

And, to come full circle, let’s end with family too!! By the time she’s in the alliance she’s lost contact with all her siblings. It’s not like they were ever close to begin with. But she does return home one last time to formally let her parents know she’s not carrying on the family name the way they want her to. At this point she’s lost an arm (that’s a story for another time!), and she tells her parents she’s in love with Azhiera, a chiss, and she doesn’t plan on returning home ever again. Needless to say her parents are furious, and rather than yell or explode at her Yexia just, finally receives the cold indifference they had been giving to all her other siblings. She’s just ignored. So she leaves and returns to her real family.

Eventually out of morbid curiosity she asks Linalae to check in on her sister Izhae. All Yexia knows about her is that she was in the military, since it was her only way of proving any strength. Linalae discovers Izhae also became a Cipher Agent, however, is listed as KIA. It’s not something Yexia can cry over, or even feel a deep sadness over, but it still stirs up something more now than it would’ve in the past. She at least wishes she could’ve apologized to Izhae, for a lot of things. However, she does get the chance to apologize to one of her siblings. When she and her siblings came of age, it was her family’s tradition to send them out to face a large and hard to take down beast as a right of passage (how Yexia got the scars on her face). It is expected that they defeat the monster and return, or die in battle (because coming back without defeating the beast would be unthinkable). Her sister Jaeyi never returned from the fight, and was presumed dead when Yexia was incredibly young. She was used as an example of how Yexia and her siblings shouldn’t be weak, of what not to be. Jaeyi was brutally injured facing the beast, but in her nearly last moments she became so fearful for her death that she was able to drag herself to freedom, far away from the beast before collapsing. She was discovered and healed, and eventually found herself among Jedi who wanted her to join them. Her upbringing and this experience made Jaeyi an incredibly fearful and meek person, bad at standing up for herself, scared of her own shadow, but still trying her best to prove her worth among the Jedi - to prove that saving her was worth it. Still, she never fit in that well, and didn’t feel she was particularly strong or worth while. And since I’ve already rambled enough about Jaeyi on accident - the long story short is, Yexia ends up finding Jaeyi and bringing her back to the Alliance, where Jaeyi is welcomed and slowly begins to fit in. The two of them have a lot to rebuild in their relationship; when Yexia finds Jaeyi, Jaeyi is terrified Yexia will drag her back to their parents or kill her on the spot. It takes a long time for Jaeyi to stop being scared of Yexia. But she gets to watch the way Yexia interacts with everyone, how Yexia has respect and people listen to her, but they don’t respect or listen to her out of fear - Yexia’s actually earned it.

Overall, by the end Yexia is still rough, and speaks somewhat crudely, and jumps to conclusions or actions too quickly a lot of the time. She still yells a lot, and isn’t always good at expressing genuine emotions, or saying nice things. But, underneath all that she is pretty sweet - she genuinely tries to help her friends, she definitely does everything she can to protect what and who she believes is worth protecting. She learns how to step back and assess situations, how to do things that will benefit her and others, she learns how sometimes she needs to put the needs of others before herself. And she’s also pretty good at giving those back-breaking, lifted off the ground hugs.

So that’s !! A lot on Yexia :’D a very angry tomato. I love her so much and to anyone who reads all this thank you so much????? i have lots of thoughts and feelings and so much i wanna write for her and idk if i even conveyed everything properly but ;v; here’s a big long wall of words and love!! TvT

8, 9, and 15 for Yexia and Idal'ia :3c ALSO GOING FULL SELF-INDULGENT HERE (but might also come back with more asks later :'D) <33

hhhhhh I LOVE YOU ♡ฅ(ᐤˊ꒳ฅˋᐤ♪)

8. Are they romancable? Why/why not?

Yexia: Nope, and she’d definitely make a comment at some point about “having someone she needs to protect”. If there were a flirt option it’d be met with an unimpressed, silent glare (and possibly a crackle of lightning accompanied by an impending sense of “ya dun fucked up”)

Idal’ia: Also no! The initial flirt option would lead to her giving a wry chuckle and smirk, “Sorry hon, ain’t living that kinda lifestyle anymore. I’ve happily settled down.”

9.What would they say if you clicked on them?

Yexia:

*displeased noise of acknowledgement*

(with disdain) What.

You’re lucky you’re on my good side. For now.

Idal’ia:

Alright, let’s have some fun!

I charge by the hour, you know.

Hey, don’t worry about a thing. I’ve got your back. 

15.What do they say when they heal you? What do they say when they are attacking?

Yexia, healing:

Do better.

You’re slowing me down.

You’re lucky I’m even bothering to help you. Though you clearly need the assistance.

Yexia, attacking:

I will vanquish all that stand before me.

None are stronger than I am!

To challenge me is a mistake. 

Idal’ia, healing:

This’ll cost you. ...Kidding!

Ouch, took a bit of a tumble there?

Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. 

Idal’ia, attacking:

Wanna make a bet on who can take down more?

Ha, barely breaking a sweat for the credits today. 

Be warned, I’m good at what I do.
