[ ✨ ] what aesthetics or symbols do you reference when writing your muse? are these backed up by canon, if your muse comes from a canon? is there any specific relevance to these choices?

god these are really the hard questions huh

Aesthetics are a lot of dark academia + gothic imagery, old libraries and books, looking out of windows, traditional magical paraphernalia, etc. I'm sort of confused by the rest of the question so that's all I got oops

[ 🌱 ] what themes are relevant to your muse?

Sort of being an outsider, black sheep and unsure of why, looking out onto the world from behind windows, I think that sort of stuff!

10:30? havent written in days? time to post doodle of my boy

[aureatetome]

anyway if transgenderism is the topic camael realized he was trans kind of unceremoniously when he was pretty young?? 11/13 or something??? his hair used to be pretty long but you know...as any kind of stubborn kid he didnt want to brush it. his asshole caretaker was like “ok brat do you want me to cut it short??” and being indeed a brat he said “yeah fine”. after that he did look immensely more boyish and started getting called a boy when he would go out with the other occasional caretakers at the library, and wouldn’t let them correct strangers, eventually going “yes. yes keep calling me a boy this is more fun”. They kind of entertained it bc they thought oh kids just being quirky, but obviously it never changed. asshole caretaker was not exactly uuhhhhh supportive

my DM also made it canon that his pretty casual attitude towards gender and norms is the divine leftovers because angels canonically don’t abide by mortal gender and usually just kind of do whatever

me listing cam as a 7th level wizard isnt just for flavor he is by default in any verse a pretty powerful mage lmao he just like. doesnt do anything to show it unless someone tries to kill him

[aureatetome]

cam stuff.....

i think he generally has both a knack for magic as a person but also has a lot better aptitude for it because of the sort of leftover divinity still in him and he was kind of :/ when he realized that might be part of it, bc humans usually don’t have much magical ability and there’s not really a way to know how much is his own and how much is innate. in other verses i feel like depending on whatever fits itll be more about the magic being from grimm or being strictly from the angel heritage but no matter what hes always gonna me a cute wittle mage

[ 😱 ] does your muse have any specific fears? where did those fears come from?

[ 😱 ] does your muse have any specific fears? where did those fears come from?

Specifically that he isn't ever going to have any friends or familial bonds and it's solely on him for that. That was kind of spawned from being raised by someone who was a) up front about not being any kind of parent to him and b) was pretty harsh on him and on bad days would use ' yeah no wonder your parents didn't want you ' as a way to be hurtful.

What kind of made it worse is Cam learned he's part celestial from a full fledged celestial who is ... very well meaning but does some questionable stuff because he isn't human and isn't great at following human norms, which made Cam go 'oh fuck is that gonna be me to some extent'.

🧱🏆🐱 c:

[ 🧱 ] how would you describe your muses’ morality? what are their core values?

Camael doesn't exactly believe in good or evil as absolutes, he thinks all people are capable of doing both and his ideal is to not cause harm to others and minimize the hardships/pain/etc of other people in the world with everything he does. Importantly alongside that he doesn't like to judge people as being inherently good or bad either, and it rubs him the wrong way when someone does do that.

[ 🏆 ] is your muse multitalented? what are their hobbies, and why did they pick up these hobbies? if they don’t have hobbies, why don’t they?

Magic is definitely his main skill/talent, but he is also a competent cook and knows how to take care of books and bind them without magic.

[ 🐱 ] does your muse have pets? did they have pets as a child? how do they feel about animals?

I don't intend to include it on this blog but in his campaign he DOES have a flumph that lives in the hood of his coat named Marshmallow :> Other than that, honestly I think he's the kind of person that just hasn't spent a lot of time around domestic animals so he feels a little awkward interacting with them, but of course he likes them.

in terms of teaching each other anything its mostly a one way street between camael and grimm but cam DID teach this ancient tome about transgenderism
