Munday Questions 🦖

I love love love to play Yes-And! I love seeing someone expand on the scene we're setting and adding their own flavor to it. I want a thread to be a mutual production instead of exclusively taking the lead or following. And I don't mind being asked if doing such-and-such is OK or going in one direction or another, but that kind of thing is what makes me feel like the other mun is as invested in telling a story as I am.

🚫 What’s a trope you avoid or dislike?

Munday Questions 🦖

I am not a fan of ABO stuff at all, it just squicks me out. To each their own when it comes to getting off but obligate kink power dynamics are not appealing to me and it's not what I'm here for. And frankly, it's boring.

I'd much rather play around with the concept with the ways humans will build power structures to satisfy their own ends. That's why Audrey's family is toxically matrilinial and incestuous and werewolf packs in the US tend to have a cult-like structure. You tell me there's one dude at the top that everyone has to obey and fuck and I say that sounds like Charles Manson.

31. do you have a favorite memory when it comes to rping a ship?

32. do you have a least favorite memory when it comes to rping a ship?

Mun Shipping Questions (Accepting)

31. It's so hard to pick out of all the lore and plotting and everything Dog and I have done for so many years but the time Audrey chose to go to Han for help when she was injured even though they were still fairly rocky with each other is really special to me. It was a turning point for both of them in how they trusted and respected each other and admitted that things were getting more serious than they'd been willing to admit to themselves and reading back on that thread still gives me so many feels.

Second favorite is the time he possessed her to save her life when she nearly died giving birth to Luna. It's a crystallization of their dedication to the point of obsession with each other and its just delectable, I can't get enough of it.

32. I've been very lucky in that I've not gotten super deep in with any rp ship that ended up going badly, I tend to have a pretty good nose for people that are going to be weird in ways I don't want to deal with. Tho I do sometimes wonder what would've come from not blocking the WWE focused blog who obviously wanted to pair her werewolf wrestler with Audrey.

It was a fascinating blog. Her rules detailed her writing schedule down to the number of hours each day (many) and she dreamed of being a writer for the WWE one day. At the time she followed me she was also rping a very explicit bdsm thread with an aged up Hiccup from HTTYD (this was before putting things under a cut was common). I wonder where she's at now.

{ laugh } : does your muse tend to crack jokes after sex? 

Yes, Lucy does love to laugh and while she doesn't lean on humor as a crutch as much as she used to, laughing does make her feel better and sex is a 50/50 shot in that realm. So, reaching for something comfortable is nice, it is also helpful to reset her mood after — which is often extremely shaky at best after sex.

{ bath } : does your muse prefer to shower or bathe after sex? do they want their partner in the bathroom with them/ bathing with them? do they use any special or scented soaps as part of their aftercare routine?

Both have their uses. If he had to choose it would be a really big tub, basically a hot tub sized bathtub. That way he can relax, his partner can relax --they can go another round (or two!) they can drink wine and set it on the side, they can cuddle! All in all that is the preference and he will modify the tub you have to make it work. Shower is fun if he's not angling for something to last a while, he still loves to keep touching his partner, likes to get his hair washed and kiss but the shower is not his favorite place for another go round. It just doesn't lend itself to the indulgence he likes. As for soaps it will also depend but if he's playing trickster it'll smell sweet, he'll favor vanilla (strawberry is strong contender too even if he's not). Otherwise he'll play around, usually he's going to lean towards something warmer still.

{ snacks } : what food does your muse crave post sex? do they keep it by the bed, read to go after sex? would they cook for their partner? 

Audrey's bedside table at home has a drawer and mini-fridge specifically for post-sex snacks, which ought to say plenty about the bullshit she and Han get up to that she needs the calories 🥲 Ice-cream is a favorite but also cheese, beef jerky and other high calorie comfort foods are gonna show up depending on her mood.

If she lands in someone else's bed, she'll try not to leave bulking bar crumbs on the sheets.

Audrey will always cook for her partner but maybe not directly after sex. She'd rather lounge around and order something in. If she's going to be relaxed properly, someone else can put in that effort.

"I mean, to be fair, that is pretty alarming." ((From Rose))

“It’s not that alarming,” Lucy disagreed, all good natured shrugging.

Did alarming exist for her anymore? If it did, it was waiting out the best time to reveal itself, slinking around whatever shadow it shared with surprise and awe and a few other emotions that might be more vital and missed even less in her return.

“You’ve been around far more alarming things before breakfast today alone,” she said as she watched the ghoul crawl through the graveyard, only half a torso and all sinewy limbs. It was past any sort of cognition, no jaw meant it couldn’t eat and she watched it the way one might a butterfly with a torn wing that was destined for the earth earlier than it expected. Some soft measure of grief for it, and an understanding that surviving doesn’t always mean surviving well.

Only this creature could still tear, and had done quite the number on a recently deceased body, the guts strewn about where it pulled and tried to stuff a belly that didn’t exist, tried to swallow meat that wouldn’t go down with a sound like a bobcat scream. A ghoul was not so different from herself in some ways and she wondered if this was where the road led for her even if she could feel Oblivion tugging at her like a reassurance. No, Liv would reclaim her and that was a blessing.

“Stop,” she said to the being, and her voice held that sharp note that she rarely needed these days, the one that the dead could never really ignore. Stop it did; not a single twitch — like she’d hit a pause button on a particularly grim horror movie scene. She slid out of sight for a moment, reappearing next to the being who looked up at her with yellowed eyes and the twitching of fingers like it would reach out and grab her if it had a chance. Lucy never gave it though, the bat falling through its skull with a distinct crunch and it crumpled at her feet.

She kicked the bat with her heel as she walked back to Rose the gore falling off quickly with the action.

“Now — your family doesn’t show up in my graveyard without something to say. What’s going on?”

🔥 What’s the pettiest thing they’ve ever argued about?

We are going to give a little bit to everyone here.

Mara and Lucy: Shoes. Lucy can dress well if she knows the dress code. She isn’t actually blind to good fashion but it’s always the shoes. She’s so tall that she will default to kitten heels for most things and for a long gown covering her feet Mara is okay with the height but the problem always comes in at Lucy and Mara just have different tastes and hers are, frankly, too safe but the shoes are always the killer bc what do you mean you have this beautiful custom gown and are just going to wear the Frank Sarto black heels from Dillards that you’ve worn 40+ times before

Ray and Lucy: What counts as vegetarian. Look, she will make whatever he wants and how he would prefer it made but she will have opinions too.

Mal and Lucy: they argue about not arguing. Each one’s convinced the other is bottling something up because well there is plenty of evidence to support it. But they are hilariously aligned on most things and both confident enough in each other that it actually isn’t a problem to hash out what they aren’t right in step with.
