send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.

          /Star Trek over Star Wars. Listen, I come from a family where we love two things: Lord of the Rings (all things Tolkein-related really) and Star Trek. I grew up on Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and The Silmarillion and I love earthen fantasy because of those stories and their characters. Every time I play a tabletop or an online RPG, I always make at least one character who is a dwarf or an imp or just a little guy because my favorite character was (and arguably still is) Gimli and my favorite civilization was the Dwarves.

          I was introduced to Star Trek much, much later, around the time when I was home from college, and oh my good lord, the original television show from the ‘60s is an absolute gem. It’s a tacky, whimsical, laugh riot that while, yes, it didn’t age well in some places (like, shall we say their unique fashion sense that was very much a product of the times and Shatner’s crash course on how-to overact and hog the camera in every shot), there are also some episodes that provide very insightful social and political commentary that still resonate with many of the things that we experience today. It’s as unmistakably brilliant as it is charming, and for me I take the good with the bad, riff the cheesy line reads and flimsy fight choreography left and right and enjoy every goddamn minute of it while it’s on screen.

          Now, to be clear: I do not hate Star Wars. I just.... don’t get it. I have never understood it or anything that is going on throughout the series. It tries to mesh sci-fi with fantasy and for me, it just doesn’t add up. It’s not my cup of tea, what can I say? I love the original Star Trek and most of its later iterations (i.e. Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, the first two J.J. Abrams movie remakes, etc...), but I’m just so far removed and confused by the happenings of the Star Wars franchise that at this point, I doubt I’ll ever get into it.

send me a 🃏and i will pick a card from one of my tarot decks and write a starter based off it.

tarot deck: the wild unknown by kim krans

card: the hanged man

The pines rose up like black pillars against the setting sun, casting long, jagged shadows along mossy rocks and the barely defined path that lead deeper and deeper into the forest. Far from any human settlement, the forests existed within a liminal space, like a pause between breathes, or the silence before the predator strikes, an unearthly feeling that straddles the line between here and now, reality and unreality. Only the slightest breeze and the last birdsong of the day broke the pristine silence of the wood, it was a comforting sort of silence. When the birds and bugs grew silent, and even the wind and earth itself seemed to hold its breath -- that was when strange things happened. When people went missing, only a few feet down the path. When the feeling of being watched, or the desire to watch, became more intense. Vali couldn’t help his curious nature, though he knew to keep his distance from humans. They reeked of gunpowder, metal and fire, of destruction, but some did not reek as badly. Such as this one he was now watching from the underbrush, watched and studied the horse he rode, and paid special attention to the guns the human carried. Something about him seemed...off. Obviously, unlike the others that ventured into this wood. 

Under the scent of destruction and metal, lay a much more...familiar scent, leaving the afterthought of magic in his wake. The dokkalfar waited for the stranger to set up camp. The sun now completely behind the horizon, darkness fell upon the forest like a heavy blanket. Vali took a keen interest in the horse, which was loosely tied to a tree no more than a dozen feet from camp. Quietly and calmly, Vali approached the animal, using his glamour charm to make himself less likely to be seen, obscuring the vision of others, making them see what they desired to see -- which was nothing, usually. The horse stomped nervously upon Vali’s approach, but the elf whispered reassuringly to it and offered a sugar cube to the beast. It took it happily, and allowed Valeriu in to touch it’s mane. He ran his fingers through, and carefully began creating little braids, ‘fairy knots’, that’ll mess with the human once he wakes up, plus it looked quite pretty upon the horse’s light mane.

gay gay gay gay (or really pan pan pan pan) ; accepting 

Send ‘😘’ to learn what your muse can do to potentially woo mine.

while courting rituals among dokkalfar are of course unique from individual to individual, there are some general traits to keep in mind with them and vali specifically. one is, sexuality and romance is considered a big part of dark elf life, many dark elves are polyamorous or at least are comfortable having many different types of relationships,  yet even so, its a big thing to go into courting with a dark elf. gift giving is a common first step in the courting process, often either giving valuable items or luxury items that are rare to them (anything shiny really is a good choice). food is another common courting element particularly sharing food is considered very intimate as dark elves dont often like sharing/giving meals with strangers, especially a stranger that might have potential to become a meal themselves, so sharing in the intimacy of food is something that will stand out to vali even if it seems normal to jensen. personal to vali, he really appreciates acknowledgements, compliments, the like. also there will be likely a power struggle of some sort where one or the other decides who is the ‘dominant’ one and who is the ‘submissive’ one, this even might go back and forth, but these sort of fluid power dynamics are common in dokkalfar relationships, its rarely if ever an actual power struggle that involves any sort of violence, its more playful, a sort of way to decide who will be the receiving partner and who will be the giving partner (as dark elves dont really have a sexual binary to ‘decide’ that for them which is honestly a stupid way of putting it but idk how else to explain it), and i dont just mean that in a sexual way, it can effect many areas of a relationship and this is why its often fluid and subject to change depending on how partners are feeling in a relationship and what works. consent is very important to vali too, of course he will be flirty and maybe even a little bit overbearing sometimes but he wont directly pursue someone romantically or sexually unless hes gotten a direct signal that its okay and mutually desired. vali appreciates anyone and will often grow to really like anyone who either tolerates his shenanigens enough to join him on misadventures, or takes vali on their own misadventures, which im sure they will have lots of. 

Send ‘💓’ to learn what my muse would do to try to woo yours.

well vali has shown great interest in humans and simply learning their ways, one of the ways vali would show his interest is by very subtle mimicking, not copying, but rather picking up on certain mannerisms, traits or interests that jensen displays. he does this entirely unaware and unintentionally when hes interested in someone. once vali gets comfortable, he will talk, *a lot*, more than usual, hes an absolute chatter box when hes allowed to be, he has so much to say okay???? also he will show affection by taking care of jensen’s horse because hes actually really good with animals, as many fae are, having a much more sensitive connection to their feelings than a typical person would without having years and years of experience with a certain type of animal. annnnd vali would probs take jensen’s hat, and his jacket. sorry, mine now. i sleep in them now.

@jensentm​ said: "It ain't safe walkin' 'round this late at night."

One of Bogdan’s hands tightens on the worn leather strap of his backpack. The other remains lax at this side. He’s had a few drinks at the saloon, enough so that he doesn’t feel the necessity to pull out the knife strapped to his belt like an itch in the palm of his hand when the stranger approaches him out of nowhere. 

It’s not like he has anywhere to be or anyone to notice if he were to vanish tonight. Still, he hopes for a more pleasant encounter than that. 

“Nowhere’s safe, friend,” Bogdan replies. His voice is as calm as always. He takes a quick look at the other man before his eyes fall on the dirt road again. “Offering company or threatening me?”

" woah, take it easy... you feeling okay? " // at whoever you think fits best~

breaking the ice prompts.

          “ I’m fine, I promise! Just a bit of dirt and dust is all. ” He smiled it off, hands halfway scrambling as he hopped back onto his feet after having the wind knocked out of him. He knew it was his fault; anyone who was even remotely paying attention to where they were going would have seen that horse from a mile away. But now that he had gathered his bearings, up close he could see that it was a fine-looking draft horse. Not many of their breed in these parts he thought, eyes sparkling with glee as he gingerly raised his hand up to the horse’s snout, letting the animal smell him and showing them that he didn’t mean any harm.

          “ Anton! There you are. ” The sound of a woman’s voice drew his attention away from the horse, if only for a moment, craning his neck to see his guardian walk down the street with her own horse in tow, leading it by the reigns. Her horse was just a few hands shorter next to the draft, but equally as impressive in its own right. With a sleek black coat and eyes dark as coal that eclipsed red in the shade, it was almost as if it was not of this earth... like an ill omen or a messenger from the underworld. Or of death itself.

          “ What on earth do you think you’re doing? We’re not here sightseeing, you oaf. You know that it will be my head on a stake if I end up losing you in this godforsaken place. ”

abatina , forget - me - not : iris , for Arthur Morgan ;w;

BOTANICAL HEADCANONS

@jensentm​

​Abatina: Is there anything in life your muse has changed their mind about over time (due to becoming more educated on the topic, certain experiences, etc .), or that they would change their mind about under certain circumstances?  

Mostly what has changed is Arthur’s outlook on life itself. Growing up with his father primarily he shared the man’s views which were that, being an outlaw, he was untouchable which was rooted in Lyle’s vain tendencies. He grew up just as cocky as his father until he saw him die, to which his outlook changed.

Life was not to be taken for granted. Nothing and no one was safe, not even him. In turn, this has made better in his try at the outlaw life, as he’s more cautious and safe. This also makes him protective of the ones he considers allies, because he’ll do his best to keep them as safe as he can.

Forget-Me-Not: Has your muse ever forgotten something that is or was important to them? Are they afraid of forgetting things like that?

It may seem unimportant to anyone else, but Arthur still has old journals that he used when Dutch and Hosea taught him to read and write. He doesn’t need them for anything anymore, but instead keeps them just to look back at how far he’s come. 

He did forget them once during one of the gang’s moves, but after retracing steps and finding them again, he keeps them locked up tighter with his other belongings to prevent it from happening again. 

Iris: If your muse could convey one last message to someone they have lost or left behind, what would it be?  

Out of everyone, Arthur would love to have his last message be to his son, Isaac. Knowing him, it’d be full of apologies. Sorry for not being around, sorry for not protecting him, sorry for not doing enough as a father, etc.. He would also say, despite all that, just how much he loved him. He always thought he was such a good kid, and he would have loved to see him grow up into a fine man. One that’s much better than he is, especially.
