Lameval the Nekros joins Anaed the Oberon in gathering some fall ship deco. Ana rewards Lala with a flower crown. Ain’t love grand?

Can I send you all those ask meme things for sweet Oberos?

Oh DARLING /;A: it’s been 37 days since you sent this, I’m sorry I didn’t see it-!! But YEAH, OF COURSE! /;3;❤️- A happy memory that makes them smile:It’s probably cheesy to say ‘anything at all that has to do with Caeli,’ but THIS IS A FACT SO. /;<; He particularly enjoys memories of showing her how he makes his feathernests, and spending time watching her and Estacia interact while he was staying with them during his recovery period.💛- A memory that makes them feel angryJadrek hurting Caeli /;<; Baby’s first experience of real, troll-level blinding rage! It still pisses him off. He would still absolutely kill him if an opportunity came up. And even though a lot of shit has happened in his life, AND in the lives of all those close to him, this is still the Big Thing that he gets angry about.💚- A memory that makes them feel guiltyHmm… I feel like Obie has a case of low-key and constant guilt about a LOT of things, so it’s tough to pick out one stand-alone. But I’d say that leaving Nyxzel to go into Imperial Fleet training was his first experience of real, deep guilt. He regrets that he didn’t better communicate his reasons and wishes to Nyxzel, and losing his horn to Nyxzel’s rage and sense of betrayal didn’t ease his feelings of guilt, or dissuade him from feeling badly for the seadweller. Obie ALSO feels guilty when he recalls that, before she became his friend and Caeli’s matesprit, he considered Estacia to be ‘just another lowblood.’ He never hated her, and he was definitely involved in the rescue mission to bring her back from the caves when she was in her hour of need, but he wasn’t yet emotionally invested in her thanks to her status as a comparatively short-lived ‘lowblood’ whose position on the caste put her in ‘usually just what ends up on my dinner plate’ range. Her genuine affection for both Caeli AND him, her kindness in helping to rescue HIM when he was in need, and her playful friendliness really won him over while he was healing at Caeli’s hive. SO, tl;dr he feels guilty for not thinking much more of Estacia until late in the game.💜- A memory about one of their loved ones, happy or sadEven though he killed her himself and he doesn’t really have REGRETS about it, Oberos often thinks about his Hawk Mom while he makes his nests and beds down in her feathers. He remembers returning to his cave after his first brief outing after he had freed himself by killing her, and beginning the process of gathering up and stowing away her feathers, cleaning her corpse so that it could be disposed of and yet holding on to so much of her as a keepsake.💔- A memory that leaves them feeling lonelyANY memory of the sweeps he spent as a pupa, sitting in the nested portion of his cave and peering out into the world that was just beyond his reach, past where his lusus would let him go. Just watching the sea, waves slowly and steadily rolling in and out as he waited for his lusus to return from hunting every long night. He wasn’t even aware of it at the time, but as a more mature troll who has now experienced friendship and the vibrancy of having a LIFE, he recognizes how absolutely lonely he was back then.💕- A memory about their significant otherTHIS IS A TOUGH ONE, since Oberos’ current status is a little bizarre. :U I guess I could say that a unique memory would be of the first time he recognized that Sirrah sincerely and persistently LIKED him in a romantic and not just sexual sense, when after some time spent as friends and frequent dining partners, Sirrah floated the suggestion that he would still love to date him even if he also very much enjoyed just being his friend. It was another case of ‘I didn’t really pay much attention to you, and then I suddenly realized that you’ve been great this whole time,’ sort of like what happened with Estacia.💞- A memory about their children[shrugs heavily because Oberos didn’t even have pseudo-children at any point :U]💓- A memory about their friendsWhen Obie was laying around his hive, after getting thrashed and blinded and kicked out of the military for attacking Jadrek. He figured that a slow and steady starvation, with background music provided by the steadily rolling waves outside of his hive, was an inevitability. It gave him an opportunity to reflect on his loneliness as a pupa; the fact that he had ended up right back where he started, and now without a lusus to care for his broken remains. SO, when Estacia literally swooped in on Bird Mom and rescued him, and when they brought him to Caeli’s hive where all THREE of them proceeded to take care of him - that really had a strong impact on him. It was A Bad Time in his life, but being rescued when he faced certain death [ESPECIALLY by Estacia], being cared for and nurtured by Bird Mom [despite the fact that he started out afraid of her, just like he had been of his own lusus], and being supported by Caeli [despite having, in his eyes, caused a huge mess while trying and ultimately failing to seek vengeance for wrongs committed against her]? Those are all things that he looks back on frequently, and with warmth and humility.💗- A memory about a good deed they didSaving Estacia is a memory that’s clouded over with negative feelings because MAAN, he should have loved and appreciated her more back then. And the same can be said of attacking Jadrek, because that derailed hugely and ended up causing a lot of heartache and distress for his loved ones. BUT, being there when Caeli had the emotion-sucking incident with her machine? He definitely feels like he did something genuinely good and helpful, even though he believes himself to have performed only a supporting role there.💖- A memory that made them feel specialObie’s a Void baby. He never thinks of himself as the center of anybody’s attention. :U But he’s also a Mage of Void, so he’s at peace with that and not at all bothered that he’s never had a ‘star of the show’ moment.

La fracción neoliberal confía, segura, el negocio sucio social-darwinista a la «mano invisible» del mercado. Es en este sentido que se están recortando las redes estatales de protección social para marginar, de la manera más silenciosa posible, a aquellos que no son capaces de resistir la competencia. Sólo se reconoce como ser humano al que pertenece a la hermandad de los sardónicos vencedores de la globalización. Todos los recursos del planeta se usurpan, con toda naturalidad, en nombre de la máquina capitalista autofinalista. Cuando ya no se puedan emplear de manera rentable para ese fin, serán dejados en barbecho, aunque eso suponga hambre para poblaciones enteras. A la policía, las sectas salvadoras, la mafia y las cocinas populares les tocará encargarse de esta molesta «basura humana». En los EEUU y casi todos los países de Europa central hay más gente en las cárceles que en cualquier dictadura militar mediana. Y en Latinoamérica los escuadrones de la muerte de la economía de mercado matan diariamente a más niños y pobres que a opositores en los peores momentos de represión política. A los excluidos sólo les queda una función social: la del ejemplo aterrador. Su destino ha de servir para que todos los que todavía están en «la carrera hacia la tierra prometida» sigan aguijoneándose en el combate por los últimos puestos de trabajo; y que incluso la masa de perdedores se mantenga en un trajín incansable para que no se les ocurra rebelarse contra unas imposiciones tan desvergonzadas.

Doll Makers, man. EDIT: Oxalis is the winner, this is exactly him. Nabrok is very close to right, but that scar- so dark!

These utilize both the Myers-Briggs Personality Types and the Kiersey Temperaments:DRACIS: ESFJ [the Caregiver] - The ProviderOBEROS: ISTJ [the Duty Fulfiller] - The InspectorAEQUUS: ENFJ [the Giver] - The TeacherGRAMAL: ISFJ [the Nurturer] - The ProtectorNABROK: ENTP [the Visionary] - The Inventor [though granted he went all wrong, being fucked-up as he is. XD;]OXALIS: INFP [the Idealist] - The HealerPTHORA: ISTJ [the Duty Fulfiller] - The Inspector*Plylym, Atreto and Krauka have been significantly tougher to figure out. : \ HOPEFULLY SOON.
