Hullo! I'm wondering if its ok to ask for a knight of space. If requests are open that is.
of course!
knights over compensate for their self perceived lack of aspect by getting balls deep into their aspect, surrounding themself in their aspect. they do that, but not enough that it would raise any red flags to anyone who they didnt let in, who they didnt trust enough to say “hey what do you think about how i do this? am i bad, good, okay? even half decent at it?” the kicker is, they dont trust anyone like that for a long LONG time.
“Those bound to the aspect of Space are, as the name suggests, concerned with the big picture. They are patient, masters of the art of 'wait-and-see', and are inclined to take things as they come. That isn't to say that they're pushovers or willing to let injustice lie-they just choose their battles wisely, understanding that sometimes you have to let something burn to the ground in order to build it back better and stronger than before. To this effect, they tend to be innovators, concerned with creation and redemption. Catch them recycling the old to make the new, the fresh, and the beautiful. For the Space-bound, the journey is as, if not more, important than the destination; how they do something is as important as what they do. At their best, they are steady, impartial, and creative. At their worst, they can be detached, apathetic, and vague.“
a knight of space is horrible about over analyzing their own work, while they see nothing but potential in everyone elses. this bitch got anxiety, but lots of love for everyone. themself not included.
being a space player, they have a passion for the artsy, creative shit. this space player may love drawing, painting, wood work, anything like that and so much more.
now, lets say this particular knight of space has a deep passion and love for wood work. they countless hours on small pieces, trying to get it perfectly shaped, stained, glued, all of that good stuff because they fear others will see one spot of glue peaking from a corner and thatll be the end of their career. what if someone gets a splinter while sitting in this chair? oh dear jesus, thats a lawsuit. theres a nick in this cane which means its going to snap on the person who needs it to walk.
an endless slew of small things they fear will happen that dont reach that extreme when alls said and done. why are they so paranoid? in the past, they may have had a teacher in this craft that was a complete ass. this pupil was learning, but oh look this nails sticking out. guess whos getting tetanus! haha, funny joke from the teacher! oh wait, now the guys yelling. woops, not a joke...
the knight took all of that to heart and its always in the forefront of their mind while working. its not a healthy “took it to heart.” its the kind that keeps you up at night because youre afraid you could cause some horrible thing to someone, that youre the reason for everyones suffering. not fun shit for anyone.
if the knight says anything about how obsessive they are about this, they play it as a joke. “haha, yeah, i spent six weeks on this little birdhouse. it comes with a fully stocked fridge.”
everyone thinks its an exaggeration, but the knight worried that the bird would run the risk of starving so they put in a nifty little feeder that can be stocked for the birds.
this knight might have a habit of smoking to calm their nerves.
it takes a lot of chipping away at this guy to get them to realize that you actually want to know them. lots and lots of man hours into this friendship. almost as much as they put into their latest project. when the knight starts to open, the floodgates burst. typical knight fashion. all of this guys past experiences that created the paranoid piece of shit in front of you are spilling like water from an upturned bottle.
when all thats out in the open to someone, they try and brush it under the rug with a “its no big deal. not like any of that upset me, haha.” when it IS a big deal. all that had been inside and killing them with paranoia for years upon years. their confident has a choice now. a)be the one to help calm them when their brain gets to be too hard on them, or b) point that finger and laugh at em. “bro you seriously that much of a pussy? LMAOOOOOOOOOO”
if the second happens, that knight is forever shut back in and not speaking their fears again. if the first, that knight begins to learn that its okay to ask others for help. you CAN ask and not be a burden. your creations are wonderful without having to squeeze everything out of yourself for just one little detail. not everything has to be perfect.
