🌧️ — how does your muse act when they’re hurt emotionally?

🌙 the emotional headcanon meme 🥀

Canonically we see two variations of reactions from her, both line up perfectly with her BPD.

1- She shuts down tries to pretend like it doesnt mean anything but it does. We see this when Elijah walks away from her and says good bye. She doesn't say much if anything at all just sort of shuts down for the moment. This is the rarer of the two given her petulant sub type shes more prone to number two-

2- Lashing out emotionally/aggressively. We see plenty of examples of this one. When Stefan says he hates her and she stabs him being one of the very first that comes to mind. When Damon accuses her lying and she snaps back with "Did it ever occur to you that you dont know who I am?"

This can also look like her being overly defensive Like when Elijah grills her about Elena when her humanity is off and she quickly becomes very defensive because she feels like she's not being seen/heard/understood only Elena's side is. (which is usually the case especially concerning Elijah with Klaus too)

Overly defensive or aggressive lashing out is incredibly common in BPD as a defense mechanism when it feels like you're not being heard. It's no different for Katherine Pierce she consistently exhibits this behavior when met with scrutiny of any kind. If shes not doubling down to feed her cold hearted bitch facade than she is overly defensive of everything.

If people would learn how to talk to her this wouldn't be that big an issue but here we are in the land of mystic falls where everyone personally knows better than everyone else.

@ethyrcal asked: they were gonna kill me, i swear. (jongwoo & moonjo)

Eyes   glimmer   through   the   dimmed   lit   room   as   he   watches   with   fascination   the   way   Jongwoo's   minds   seems   to   work   overdrive,   trying   to   fill   in   the   blanks,   making   space   for   reason.   Would   his   mind   tell   him   it   was   never   him   who   did   such   things?   Perhaps   his   mind   would   tell   him   it   was   all   Moonjo,   a   way   to   protect   his   sanity.   But   what   he   sees   is   nothing   but   the   shattered   remains   of   a   piece   that   is   about   to   crumble   to   reveal   the   true   diamond   inside.   Fingertips   grace   over   the   others   uvula,   feeling   it   up   and   down   as   he   grabs   it.  

The   movement   is   deliberate   as   he   let   it   swipe   through   ,   down   to   his   adam's   apple   and   then,   hold   right   below   it,   looming   presence   stepping   closer,   an   intimate   lover's   embrace   to   forget   all   about   the   chaos   around   them.   "I   know,   Jagiya.   I   know   they   did.   But   you   wanted   to   kill   them   too,   didn't   you?"   He   doesn't   need   an   answer.   He   could   see   it   day   by   day   at   the   Residence,   the   way   whatever   control   he   had   on   himself   slipped   through the   cracks   and   eventually   snapped.   Eyes   shift   down   to   the   bracelet   that   had   been   gifted,   still   wrapped   around   Jongwoo's   arm,   the   gentle   sound   it   makes   as   it   moves,   sending   a   thrill   down   hisi   body   ,   proof   that   they   are   in   this   together.   "Tell   me   how   it   felt."

@ethyrcal asked: ❛ i wish i had another choice. ❜ (Yeon)

"Right."   Despite   his   best   facade,   Rang   had   never   been   able   to   hide   well   when   he   is   hurt.   He   often   lashes   out,   deadly   so   at   times,   and   others,   he   is   more   quiet   in   is   pain.   He   hates   how   expressive   he   can   be   when   his   brother   barely   seems   to   flinch   and   he   wonders   if   this   is   his   human   nature   slipping   through   the   fox   spirit   within.   "You   always   had   a   choice.   I   was   just   never   one   for   you."   It   seems   to   be   a   constant   in   his   life   since   he   was   born.  

With   everyone   eventually   deciding   he   is   not   good   enough   or   just   a   bad   seed   to   be   left   behind.   Yeon   thinks   he   is   different,   but   his   own   experience   say   otherwise.   "You   keep   saying   the   same   thing   but   you   left   everything   behind   because   of   that   woman.   Your   duties   as   a   Mountain   God,   your   Mountain,   those   who   wished   for   your   help."   And   he   does   his   best   to   control   his   voice,   not   letting   is   quiver   as   he   pushes   a   finger   on   his   brother's   chest,   if   anything,   to   make   it   slightly   more   painful   and   keep   his   distance.   "And   me.   You   left   me   behind.   And   you   will   keep   doing   that   as   long   as   she   is   around."

@ethyrcal asked: you have no idea who i am, do you? (hwayeol)

Ra-ik   pauses.   He   does   his   best   to   keep   his   expression   neutral   but   it's   hard   for   him.   He   had   never   been   one   to   keep   it   all   in,   so   the   frown   is   visible   and   his   body   instantly   tenses   up.   Too   many   things   had   been   happening   in   his   life   lately   for   him   to   just   go   around   unscathed.   "Should   I   know   who   you   are?"   The   confusion   is   visible,   the   casualness   he   had   been   displaying   until   then   is   gone   as   arms   fold   against   his   chest,   as   if   to   try   and   put   an   invisible   wall   between   himself   and   the   man.  

He   does   look   familiar,   but   that   is   all.   There   is   that   gut   feeling   he   gets   when   something   big   is   hitting   him   in   the   face   but   he   wants   to   ignore   it.   "You   don't   work   for   Goldie   Entertainment."   That   was   a   fact.   After   all,   the   company   was   basically   built   with   and   around   the   Gold   Boys.   He   knew   everyone   who   worked   there   and   the   man   does   not   cross   his   mind.   “Do   you   want   something?”

@ethyrcal asked: ❛ i am being perfectly fucking civil . ❜ (yeon & doyun)

"Evidence   proves   the   contrary."   Perhaps   well   deserved,   but   he   would   think   his   son   would   know   better   than   let   his   emotions   ruin   his   composture   (   then   again,   he   did   fell   for   a   human,   enough   to   risk   his   position   as   a   Mountain   God   and   work   as   a   slave   for   Taluipa   for   six   hundred   years   ).   He   steps   back,   breaking   away   from   the   grasp   Yeon   had   on   his   collar   and   adjusted   it   with   casual   ease   before   looking   around.   "A   civil   man   would   never   react   as   you   did   just   know,   son.   You   have   spent   too   much   time   with   humans   to   realize   that."

  And   he   shakes   his   head.   He   too   once   had   loved   a   human,   or   at   least,   liked   one   enough   to   be   with   them   and   have   another   son.   Rang   is   the   reason   he   is   there,   at   least   one   of   the   reasons,   and   he   is   certain   Yeon   knows   about   it,   with   how   he   is   reacting   to   his   visit.   "You   let   the   original   Mountain   God   free,   escaping   through   time   to   modern   world.   I'm   here   because   I   was   called   to   help   solve   a   mess   of   your   making."   Doyun   points   out,   hands   resting   inside   his   pockets   as   he   looks   around,   breathing   out   as   if   he   is   just   stating   the   obvious   here.   "I'm   not   here   for   you.   I   need   to   speak   with   your   brother."

@ethyrcal asked: 1D (zhihao @ baoyu)

She   was   meant   to   be   up   and   go   to   her   maids.   Morning   had   come   sooner   than   she   thought   it   would,   or   perhaps   time   had   passed   quickly   after   the   night   they   had.   Baoyu   had   blushed   at   the   thought,   her   wedding   night   being   far   more   enjoyable   than   she   thought   it   would   be.   Their   families   had   finally   joined   forces   and   so   the   black   dragon   and   his   white   dragon   princess   were   now   one,   through   blood   and   bond.   He   had   called   her   maids   off   when   they   had   entered   the   room.   "We   have   to   wake   up   eventually.   All   the   elders   are   still   here."  

She   points   out,   her   failed   attempt   at   covering   herself   with   her   chemise   is   gone   as   his   hands   expose   her   skin   once   again,   cold   makes   her   shiver   against   his   body,   feeling   him   pressed   behind   her,   hands   that   had   expertly   touch   her   the   night   before,   following   a   similar   path   over   her   breast   and   she   can't   help   but   to   breath   against   him.

  "Zhihao.   Lǎogōng."   She   uses   his   now   title   on   her   tongue   with   ease   but   despite   the   slight   protest   on   her   tone,   she   doesn't   move   away   from   him,   the   curve   of   her   frame   fitting   nicely   against   his   body.   "You   can't   keep   me   in   bed   all   day."   Head   leans   to   his   shoulder,   eyes   opening   to   see   him   before   they   drift   town   to   where   his   hands   cover   her   breast   with   ease   and   teeth   catch   her   lips   before   she   moans   again.

@ethyrcal asked: 2E (ryu @ chaewon)

He   looked   too   good   for   her   to   focus   on   trying   to   be   patient   with   him.   They   had   kissed   and   they   had   made   it   known   that   this   was   perhaps   more   than   just   a   fake   relationship   for   the   tabloids.   He   wasn't   just   her   protector   and   she   wasn't   just   a   shield   for   the   internet   to   stop   pushing   him   to   date.   Chaewon   plays   her   role   well,   going   to   visit   him   to   his   photoshoots   like   a   good   girlfriend,   except,   well,   it's   doing   a   lot   to   her.   He   looks   good,   too   good.   And   when   he   is   left   alone   at   his   changing   room,   being   told   that   they   are   going   on   a   little   break,   Chaewon   follows   suit,   briding   someone   to   not   bother   them   for   a   while   and   the   poor   assistant   blushes,   surely   knowing   what   they   will   do.  

She   doesn't   even   care   if   this   goes   out   to   the   press,   because   god,   she   feels   herself   warm   by   the   way   he   looks.   It   doesn't   stop   feeling   that   way   even   when   she   pushes   him   down   the   couch   at   the   waiting   room   and   straddles   him.   Her   hair   high   up   on   a   ponytail   as   her   hips   grind   against   him,   a   triumphant   smile   as   she   feels   him   react   under   her,   hands   guiding   down   the   curated   clothes   he   was   promoting.   "You   look   so   good   today."  

She   kisses   him   as   she   speaks,   her   body   plastered   against   his   own,   breast   pressing   on   his   chest   as   her   hands   move   from   his   chest   down   to   his   belt,   working   fingers   against   the   metal   until   she   hears   the   familiar   clink   and   her   eyes   open   back   to   him.   "You   don't   have   to   do   anything,   I   just   really   want   to   see   you."   And   kisses   him   once   more,   fingers   sliding   down   his   zipper.   "And   taste   you."

@ethyrcal asked: ‘ now imagine what we could do if you & your crew got with me & my crew. ’ (ara @ jay)

Yaehyun   breaks   into   a   smile,   it   graces   a   borderline   smirk   at   the   words.   Collaborations   are   not   rare   between   artists,   though   one   that   involves   all   members   of   two   groups   are   indeed   a   rare   taste.   Sunsette   are   already   stablished   in   the   industry   and   the   connections   would   make   OBSCURA   grow   in   sales   and   reach,   considering   the   international   market.   By   all   means,   the   leader   of   the   group   gets   the   appeal   of   such   a   collaboration.   "Not   my   decision."   He   states   though,   smugness   hiding   after   ra   moment,   hands   inside   his   pockets   before   he   leans   down   to   reach   eye   level.  

"We   are   in   the   same   company   so   I   am   sure   that   they   won't   disagree   about   it,   though.   Mr.   Yi   seems   to   be   a   reasonable   guy."   It   makes   sense   and   he   is   sure   that   the   two   groups   would   find   a   way   to   get   themselves   in   the   same   studio,   at   least   once.   "You   think   egos   will   be   fine   during   a   studio   session?"   He   had   seen   the   others   briefly   from   her   group.   He   only   thinks   Junha   could   be   the   one   with   an   ego   and   from   his   group?   Well,   most   of   them   already   from   other   groups   or   trainees   that   been   on   the   industry   for   years,   there   was   certainly   some   egos   to   handle   .
