are any of your trolls excited for the holidays or are planning to go to the yule ball?
Thuliz is super excited about the holidays, even if he’s stuck celebrating it away from home! He’s probably gonna get a conferance call with the people in Oaksville, send them his love, then see how people in the cities celebrate!
Tillum is head over heels about the ball. It’s one of her favorite events all year because there’s so much mingling to be done. You’re basically never gonna catch her outside the VIP lounge, but still! She also likes the holidays in general because she spoils herself, but the gorgeous winter aesthetics and winter fashion are her favorite part.
Endiro is going with his friend Majken, and Zinith is going with her friend Marien. They’re just there to have a good time uwu
(Also Endiro loves the holidays. He likes to bundle up with his lusus or some friends and have some cozy, warm affair.)
Catching up on prompts I missed for Inktober for writers with a drabble of Endiro.
You stare at your reflection. You wonder if everyone feels so at odds with their reflection, like the reflection is an acquaintance, more than the self. You keep staring at the mirror, trying to make peace with the image. The hair is right, and you know the jawline. The mouth is small, though. At least, you think it’s small? Small like the beady, purple eyes.
You never could decide which face was the “real” one. The mask caused you the same feeling of dysphoria, with the eyes and mouth being so monstrously big, and the nose not even being part of the image.
Originally, the idea had been that the mask would be for when you socialized with subjugglators, but that had eventually fallen to the wayside. You kept being caught in public and chastised for not wearing the paint, not just by other members of the Dark Carnival, but imperial officials, legislacerators and the like. For a time, it brought into question if you were really a member at all, or just a lackey. A mere lackey would never get the influence you hoped for, so the paint became part of your every-night image.
Problem was, with a scant few exceptions, your friends off the clock preferred your plain face. You refused, for a time, treating the thing as a part of your identity - the identity of a person who had high hopes for the subjugglators - but with every sweep, you’ve become more familiar with the trauma and pain the facepaint evokes. Sure, that made for a dirty advantage against an enemy, having them freeze at the worst moment, but with friends? With quadrants? It didn’t work.
It’s put you at a frustrating crossroads. Having your loyalties questioned again would halt, if not outright remove, your progress. In addition, you are so used to seeing your reflection caked in white paint that it feels odd to be plain-faced any time besides 5 minutes out of the coon. On the other, people outside of that carnival mess are so much more enjoyable to spend time with, and you deeply care for a lot of them.
You squint at your reflection again. “If only you could pick this for me,” you tell the troll in the mirror. He looks as uncertain as you.
📖What is their favorite outside of the bedroom activity to do with their partner?
Probably just cuddle tbh? Like, chilling at hive, laying together and watching something.
He also likes his partner dragging him off to something they enjoy.
🛏What is their favorite bedroom activity to do with their partner?
FUCK.
(Specifically, d/s stuff is his fave.)
🤐Would they ever confess their feelings first?
He's been the first to confess in both his last relationships. Part of it was that he kiiinda felt he was outside their league both times. Even if he didn't, though, Endiro prefers confessing right away, so that somebody else doesn't beat him to the punch.
❤️ Do they fall in love easily?
Nah, not really. He is easily attracted to people, but he hasn't properly fallen in love with someone since his first Matesprit.
People clearly strong enough to defend themselves in a fight, or people who are very flirty. He also has a streak going for seadwellers?? 🤔
👫Do they display affection in public? What about in private?
Endiro is pretty openly affectionate, as long as it is in a casual scenario. He is a lot more cordial at parties (unless he wants to embarrass you) or at someone's work place.
In private he's not constantly affectionate, but he occasionally slides up to hug his partner from behind or spoons with them on a couch.
⚔️ Are they protective of their partner?
He's had a couple of bad experiences where his protectiveness bit him in the ass, so now he needs his partner to be able to protect themselves. He still gets the impulse to protect his partner sometimes, but he's trying to surpress that.
Send me a character + a number and I’ll tell you my headcanons for:
12. Grudges and vendettas
Endiro likely holds grudges against a number of unnamed legislacerators, criminals, and subjugglators, who have all gotten in his way at some point or another.
He does try to let go of grudges, if he sees them as only a hindrance. If he has to keep working with a legislacerator who ruined his project, he will try to swallow the bitterness and keep working for the common goal. That doesn’t mean he always succeeds, though. A lot of times, he will sprinkle in anything from snide comments to outright opposing the person who caused him trouble, if he thinks he can get away with it.
Also, his greatest vendetta as a whole is against the Carnival, for killing several trolls for no reason beyond “heresy”.
18. Things they’ll never admit
Yahmiq despises negative people. The kind who bury themselves in “Ugh life isn’t going to get better, I might as well wallow in self-pity”. He has some level of sympathy for them, but he tends to reach a breaking point where he feels they actively want to remain sad, instead of trying to improve to become a better person.
He doesn’t like admitting it, because it makes him feel like a dick, but he just can’t muster patience and sympathy forever.
He’s trying to figure out how it’s “supposed to feel”. Like, he is fine on the hate part, but a lot of times he has trouble figuring out things like proper behavior, what a good pitch date/gift looks like, how much prodding is too much. His current relationship started with him teasing someone about incriminating pictures and not realising he was basically blackmailing her until he got suplexed by her friend. He feels terrible about it in retrospect, cuss like... He just doesn’t know how to act on the pitch feelings.
Renkie
Renkie is very flaky about her pitch. While she’s picky about other quads, Renkie has had more kismesises than she can keep track of. The main reason for it is that she always craves rivalries as a way to improve, but she eventually grows tired of the rival when there is a slump, instead of putting in time and effort to improve the relationship. On top of that, if someone can annoy her verbally, she’ll briefly be interested, but if they don’t have fighting skills to match, she drops them like a sack of stale potatoes.
She’s pretty fine with it, too. Like, she doesn’t really daydream about the perfect kismesitude, because, again, she is flaky as fuck in this quadrant. She’s hunting that new rival rush at all times.
😳 What was my muse’s worst romantic/sexual relationship?
Atella, the greenblood involved in his trifecta of romantic failure. Besides the huge romantic mess she was involved in, she was also extremely clingy and emotionally vulnerable, basically needing him to double as her pale. It’s the main reason Endiro doesn’t want a relationship with someone who either doesn’t have a moirail or at least doesn’t have their shit together.
🎀 Who would my muse sleep with if nobody ever had to know?
OK LIKE. The answer is probably something wild like the Condesce just because he is really curious about what a wild experience that would be?
💘 What are the ways my muse says ‘I love you’ without actually saying it?
Sexual intimacy is one of the most common ways for Endiro to show affection. Especially if he’s able to laugh and be silly with it, you know he likes you.
