Ναι εγώ λοιπόν!!!! Πάμε ραντομ: 1,4,7,12,16,17,20,28,30,37,51 <33333

THEKLAAA χριστεμ αυτό μου πήρε μέρες... αλλά ευτυχώς λατρεύω να μιλάω για τους ψυχολογικά ασταθείς μπλορμπουδες μου όποτε. ναι. για πάμε λίγο.

δεν διευκρινησες χαρακτήρες οπότε διάλεξα τυχαία το άλλο κομπλεξικο duo μου, την nevinny και την hess, μιας που ήδη απάντησα σε άλλο ασκ για την juve και τον oreste της.

1. What's the lie your character says most often?

for hess it's not so much a lie she says as it is one she does, one that she's committed to doing, each and every day she's spent by nevinny's side. and that's just the implication that she is okay with what's happening, the turn her life has taken, and that she is completely over what happened with juve. doesn't even think about her anymore. she doesn't feel guilty, she doesn't feel angry, she isn't using her new life as a means of keeping herself isolated within a Familiar Framework (stuck at the side of a girl obsessed with making her open up) or as a way of punishing herself (see below), this is fine and also if anything juve is the one to blame, if she even thought of her, which she doesn't because she's got nevinny and Mostly Herself now. so.

for nevinny, hm! it's a little trickier with her since i'm still getting her character vibe sorted, but i don't. actually think nevinny lies! or, doesn't really see a reason to, anymore. she used to lie to the wider world via presenting herself as subservient to emi, a good core & mage duo, but at the point where she's at in her story (and with emi dead behind her) i think she's fairly straightforward in her motivations & attitudes. and i think that disturbs hess even more, since they're both so foreign to her, and she doesn't trust like that and is always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

4. What's a hobby they used to have that they miss?

the hess in my mind just bluescreened at the concept of hobbies. hobbies? her? growing up, she was too busy deliberately doing anything she could to set people off to cultivate her own likes and interests.

having said this, i think hess did like nature and exploring– a hobby that she doesn't so much miss as has been a little soured for her, as nevinny drags them both up mountains and through woods and god knows what else for hours on end. i also think nevinny at some point also started teaching her how to make jewelry, which hess liked, and then freaked out over liking lest it be used as a bonding point between the two of them, and now refuses to do it. still though. in another (or even future) world, where she's more normal...

nevinny meanwhile enjoys singing, if it can be called that– she's not greek coded, but the closest i can get to describing it is as moirologia. lamentation music intended to be sung after someone's passing (and, in my worldbuilding, also over someone's deathbed, to help ease the transition into the next world). nevinny's mom was a moiroloi singer in their village, and nevinny was taught all of the hymns growing up– and even sometimes joined in performing them too. despite being a core herself, i think nevinny's mom was a little... absent from nevinny, growing up, so nevinny only really felt like she was bonding with her during conditions of loss or grief, when her mom would actively include her in her beloved work. as you can imagine all this has done great things for her sense of interpersonal relations.

but yes nevinny to me reads as someone with a bunch of little hobbies, ways of passing the time, attempting to connect to others or finding peace with herself– making jewelry, working with clay and wax, whittling, knife tricks, etc. she can move quickly from one thing to the next, but only after completely excavating all there is to know about the thing that came before it. yes this also goes for her interactions with people. yes she's a fun parallel/foil to juve. yes this makes her dynamic with hess insane.

7. What would you yell in the middle of a crowd to find them? What would their best friend and/or romantic partner yell?

honestly, in either case, just yelling hess' name would work to find her– she's technically on the run, and hearing her name would throw her, hard! she'd turn automatically before she could snap herself to her senses enough to keep it moving. likewise, i do think yelling juve's name would have... more of an effect on her attention than she'd like 😁👍

to get nevinny's attention... hm! she's a bit better than hess regarding the whole being on the run thing, so if she heard her name, any turning would be a deliberate act on her part rather than a guaranteed kneejerk reaction. it's possible that singing one of the aforementioned moirologia would be enough to pique her interest as well though, have her following the source of the sound. or maybe if she thought hess was in danger... hm. many thoughts!

12. What's something that makes them laugh every single time? Be specific!

honestly i do think hess is the type of person to be very charmed by impressions. it's a little mean spirited, and definitely contributes to the whole alienation thing she's got going here, but. i do believe that a good impression of someone is enough to elicit some laughter. i know she hates puns.

i think nevinny is very specific in her humor– a little off-putting with it, will laugh at jokes before they reach the punchline, will just stare at you with a faint, flat smile after it's delivered. i don't think sarcasm hits her that well. having said this, i can see her being delighted with puppet theater a la karagiozi (she's not greek, i continue to mutter to myself) (unless), and enjoying a good situational comedy anecdote. she's big on the story hook, not so much the quipped sinker.

16. What kinds of people do they have arguments with in their heads?

already answered for hess!

nevinny... doesn't do this. or at least not in this manner. nevinny might mentally orchestrate the societal responses she think she'll get to her whole Deal, but nevinny mostly focuses on the good things she thinks will come from her actions, not the opposition she'll face. so.

17. What do they notice first in the mirror vs what most people first notice looking at them?

hmm. i think hess doesn't look in the mirror too often– would curtly note that she knows what she looks like, thanks, unless she's changed overnight (funny foreshadowing). she feels the type to take stock of herself in a rushed, offhand way. honestly the first thing she'd notice might not even be a physical trait, but rather a belonging– checking that the latch on her necklace is still fastened tight. meanwhile, i think what people would first note about hess is her eyes– they're a striking shade of blue, and really stand out in her face.

meanwhile, i think nevinny looks in mirrors even less than hess does– she prefers thinking of how she feels in her body rather than how it looks to an outside eye, so a lot of her presentation now that she's older relies solely on comfort. i think the thing she's most fixated on is her hair, and enjoying how it feels now that it's finally short. she also enjoys cutting it (a bonding activity she attempted with hess a couple times under the guise of convenience) (hess is a freak about this too). meanwhile, what other people notice first about nevinny is probably... nothing, at first! she's very short, very unassuming, not too pretty and not too plain. but then, when her attention is trained on you? her smile. nevinny has a very unique smile. you never know if you want to see it again, or want it gone.

20. Who do they like as a person but hate their work? Vice versa, whose work do they like but don't like the person?

for the most part, hess can't differentiate nuance in a person like that– she's a lot more of a black and white thinker. if she doesn't like you she can't acknowledge liking anything you produce, either, because it's an extension of you. so there.

having said this, i do think an older hess will find a sort of begrudging kinship with her old principal, dr malva albescu– a weird respect seeing this woman so insistently try at something that hess resented from day one, and who anyone with half a braincell could see was a terrible idea. a mess of good intentions, some might say (haha. title drop). this becomes doubly funny when dr albescu tasks her with finding and apprehending hess tiamaret, while not knowing she is in fact talking to hess herself.

nevinny.... hm. this might be a spoiler. let's call it a spoiler for now.

28. What do they tell people they want? What do they actually want?

whough boy.

i think, if asked, hess will snap that she just wants to be left alone. it does not take a great mind to see that hess does not, in fact, want to be left alone– or rather, that she 'does', but only because she has no idea how to handle the alternative.

i keep re-iterating myself in various ways, but the tldr is quite simple: hess is desperate to belong, and doesn't know how. so it's easier to stay as someone hated, an eternal 'other', because then at least she belongs via not belonging. via constantly being the opposite of what she 'should' be, and thus exactly what's expected to her. it's the closest hess can get to an in-group of her own, while ensuring a lack of vulnerability and real connection (which she has no idea how to handle and is terrified of failing at).

so yes. hess is a feral alley cat who would rather tear your ankles to shreds than ever admit to wanting to rub against them, because well. can't say you failed if you never tried. can't be rejected or hurt if you shut people out first, conform exactly to their worst expectations, and find solace in them (while also resenting them for confining you to them). she's my favorite freak.

nevinny meanwhile is fairly transparent and accurate in what she wants– i, the author, need to sort out the details here but the tldr is that nevinny wants connection. specifically connection with other cores (the type she never got from her own mom growing up). nevinny wants to restructure existing structures to put cores at a unified forefront, and she thinks hess has unlocked something in her magic that's worth learning and teaching in turn– that she's generally a good face for the movement (as you can imagine, hess 'i would rather skin us both alive than have a positive basis for an in-group / if im not being judged for what i am i have to be judged for who i am and what if i don't know or like that girl either' tiamaret is slightly less keen on this. still, though, she's stuck around for the past like 7 or so years. im sure that'll end well for them both).

30. When they make a mistake and feel bad, does the guilt differ when it's personal versus when it's professional?

sort of? primarily because hess won't feel bad if a job isn't well done. she has no actual emotional investment in this whole schtick, or at least none related to the job itself, it's more of a like... you committed one crime, so why not commit another? and another? and another? actually, maybe, by committing crimes in a similar vein over and over, maybe it'll take away the significance of the first time, which shouldn't even matter anymore (juve's skin searing, burning, the fact that she didn't scream and somehow that was even worse, the blood in hess's mouth). hess is using her current 'kill people for money' job as a weird form of coping, so there's not really any sense of making 'mistakes'– all of this is to take away from her Actual mistake (which she also refuses to see as such). having said this i do think hess feels weird if a death gets too drawn out. not guilty, but... strange. uncomfortable. and nevinny is more and more prone to drawing them out as of late.

(mind you, hess' sense of guilt on a personal level is also skewed– she tends to swap it out either for anger and outwards pointing blame, or heaps of self-loathing. it's a coin toss each day).

to be honest with you? i don't know if nevinny has really felt guilt a day in her life. she's felt regret over mishandling things a couple times in the past, sure, but actual guilt? that would require focusing on the losses over the gains more than nevinny cares to do. as far as she sees it, you make a mistake, can't change it now. you learn and move on. it's something she wishes she could impart more unto hess.

37. What's a secret they haven't told serious romantic partners and don't plan to tell?

for hess... jesus christ. 'serious romantic partners' here is a loaded question, for her, so i'll just swap it out for the closest thing she's had to one for the past ~7 years (nevinny).

hess does not plan to really ever tell nevinny how to use her magic to imitate the other two existing branches, despite implying that she will. as far as she sees it, she's the only one who's cracked that, and it helps set her apart from all the other cores out there– a necessity to preserve her identity, in a time where nevinny is so hell-bent on connection. she's given a couple lofty lessons on shifting, nothing major (and nothing that nevinny was able to imitate), but past that? no way. i also don't think she plans to ever tell nevinny the full truth of what happened with twisting gerumas into hurting juve, or even that she still thinks of juve at all. after all, she's too busy repressing that herself.

for nevinny? hm. potential spoiler, i think. we'll see.

51. What's a phrase they say a lot?

an inside joke of sorts between them– nevinny proposing something, hess hesitating. a half-smile from nevinny. 'don't you trust me?' the reply, in any of its variants: 'fuck no', 'like hell,' 'never did', 'never will.' hess doing it anyway.

I don't know if drunk Chris is still drunk , but what do you think of Ginny x Neville?🥰

Okay, but think about it. Neville, fourteen years old. He’s been mocked by practically everyone he knows, and still. He walks up to the hottest girl in his house, the sister of his roommate, and just...ASKS HER TO THE DANCE.

Harry couldn’t do it. Ron couldn’t do it. Fuck, even Fred and George barely did it, and certainly not as beautifully as Neville.

More than half the people I know can’t do that, not now, and certainly not when they were a teenager. Nev, once again, didn’t hesitate. He puts it all out there, and just...hopes.

And Ginny. Lucky darling Ginny gets to say YES, and is so proud of saying yes, and it turns out Neville can actually dance, but even if he couldn’t, even if he showed up in ill-fitting robes and a toad in his pocket, Ginny would still say yes. Because Ginny knew what it was like to be overlooked. To be the outcast, the only girl in a household of boys, pouring her heart into a book.

She could see herself in Neville, the hidden courage, the loneliness.

That smile.

They danced all night, laughing and talking and forming a relationship that would last a lifetime.
