Acanthus: Is your muse deceptive, or willing to lie or deceive to achieve certain means? Why or why not?

The political climate of the south tropics does not allow for much wiggle room. A wrong expression, a wayward word and the whole of the tropical band is at your throat.

These are things that Fariah breathes. Taught from a young age onward, everything she learned was specifically controlled to properly condition the Crown Princess into a vicious politician herself. She recalls being able to read expressions, how to hear certain vocal tics, see the way someone moved as something to their character.

The common man wears himself on his sleeves. The successful politician does not.

Being politically charged requires the need to be deceptive. A wrong tic of the face or voice are weakness to an opponent ready to drive the knife into your ribs, metaphorically or literally. And so everything she is and does is controlled in instances she is uncertain of. For her job, and for general social events.

She is described as intense, but everything she shows is so minutely controlled to the finest detail. She does not speak higher than a flat drone, she does not move parts of her face she does not want to use. Emotion is tamped, expression can be used.

Fariah is not so much a deceiver in the ways you would recognize. She is the snake in the grass, capable of uttering a lie in the same breath of a truth to make you think it's a lie. She can smile on command, to ease you into a sense of security or give you the goosebumps of knowing your own grievous mistakes. She stares intently to make you wonder if you have committed any grievous mistakes.

She may not change her face with a noticeable mask, she may continue to be recognizable to all who meet her. But the honeyed words are poisoned with cyanide, and there are teeth behind painted frowning lips. She is a deceiver, a liar, by instinct. Tall, intimidating, powerful. But if it keeps the wolves and vultures that would pick apart her charge and command at polearm's reach?

So be it.

Goldenrod: Does your muse believe in luck or fortune? Why or why not? Where do they believe these things come from?

Fariah is practical in her beliefs.

Although she may make the wayward comment about how lucky things have changed, she is also well aware that such things do not exist the same way society as a whole has warped them. If she has learned anything in her formative years, it is that nothing is gained without hard work.

Fortune and wealth is no different, luck is a little thing people use to make themselves feel better about a situation otherwise out of their control. After all, everyone wants some semblance of control over their own environment, it is easy to figure that the tides of the universe are on your side for a brief moment.

'My, how lucky we are to find this' is hardly more of an utterance to make anyone near her feel like they have an illusion of control, and that she has given them that control. She knows it's not luck.

It's just careful planning.

Magnolia: Describe your muse’s relationship with nature & the natural world.

Though she does not get to experience it as often as she would like, Fariah is still deeply rooted in the more natural uncut parts of the Three and Ten. Despite the population growing more and more day by day, they try to uphold a little of their natural brilliance.

Sparks of color weaving its way among bright greens and earthy spires are a common sight, the thought of being able to witness such raw feral aspect is a source of pride. After all, it is not just the people that make the Three and Ten, but the islands themselves, as the islands came first, and it is the Imperial's job to maintain that balance as well.

However, it does come with a double-edged sword.

It is easy to get lost in a park or scruffle through the wild underbrush like the Antique Sidhe may have done in their time. But such places hold the presence of the other aspect of natural life.

A dark and terrible thing, albeit as necessary as the air they breathe. Faerie-kin have a tendency to manifest where nature is most prevalent. While walls may keep out animals and more mortal invaders, they barely give the nature spirits pause for thought. They lurk in shadows, creep over city walls. You are likely to meet a changeling in the streets asking for your name as you are to see a kelpie staring back from the water of the open rice paddies of the Ring.

A tenuous balance with the natural world, but one that is nonetheless still necessary.

@phantomrune asks: you're doing this to spite me, and i know it. from surge! ( close range. / accepting! )

“ Maybe I am, or maybe I'm not. ” The blue hedgehog stood there, keeping some distance between the other tenrec. “ And what do you plan on doing about it? ” Grinning, Sonic positions his gloved hands on his hips.

“ I could do this to spite you and I could also out-run you. So hit me with your best shot, buddy. ”

@phantomrune asks... alt! - Send me "alt!" and I'll introduce you to a charecter I've rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else!

Character: David Xanatos Status: Want to Play - Gonna have to make icons myself I'm pretty sure

Come on. Look at this man. Can you blame me? He's voiced by Jonathan Frakes. I shouldn't have to say anything else.

Seriously, go watch Gargoyles if you haven't. Disney Plus, Pirate it, I don't care; go watch it. This fuck is going to be on my multimuse blog at some point, one way or another.

@phantomrune asked:

"Don't tell me our Stargazer is nose deep in his books again~ You'll make that poor girl worry for you if she comes back and you're exhausted." Feo Ul >> Urianger!

He's been caught red-handed! Urianger slips a bookmark into the tome he's chosen (a habit from necessity in this land, as sometimes now his books simply... wander off) and diverts his attention to give Feo Ul a nod of greeting. "What am I to gaze at when the stars art hidden away, then?" He's just teasing them back, evident in his smile.

He raises hand to tap knuckles against his cheek in a gesture of thought. "Thou consid'reth the 'poor girl'?" Urianger says, amusement audible in the way he quirks the question. "Could it be, the tempestuous Feo Ul hath found a new mortal to grant their favour? News-carriers must needs be notified, posthaste, of this occasion." They are rather loud about their standoffishness, sometimes. Divert the subject this way!

  [ 🐾 ]ㅤ do animals like them instinctively ?

  Not instinctively, I fear. At least... not after she picks up Dark Knight. I think Fray's... presence? Existence? I think Fray spooks them. Impulsive as she is, however, she knows how and when to be patient. As a bird-lover, she already has experience with being patient as animals learn that she can be trusted.

  [ 🫀 ]ㅤ who taught them what love is ? did it hurt ?

  There isn't really any one specific person who can be credited. Love in all its forms has ever been a revolving door of people coming and going through her life. From her parents to her king and country to friends and lovers, she's loved deeply and fiercely and lost far more than she's gained. Of course it hurt.

But it's always worth it.

  [ 🕸️ ]ㅤ do they have a favourite lie they like to hear ?

  That's generally a pretty solid no, actually. She has an unusually black-and-white relationship with lies. You can lie to anyone else and although she'll give you one hell of a side-eye, it won't be a deal breaker. But if you lie to her, you are effectively nuking your entire relationship, even if the lie is told with good intentions.

The main reason for this is that it takes away her agency. Her entire life has been one circumstance after another where her agency has been either extremely limited or stripped from her entirely. She's fully capable of making hard choices, but she needs to make them fully informed.

She does believe there's a difference between keeping something to yourself and outright lying, though! You can keep secrets and refuse to speak on something and as much as she may not like it, she'll be much more willing to accept it than an explicit lie or a lie of omission.

She very much practices what she preaches in this particular instance, too. She doesn't outright lie. If she's asked a question point blank, she will answer it honestly, regardless of how uncomfortable it may make her. Your mileage will vary, of course, depending on the person asking the question. Someone who she's generally comfortable with and who she respects will obviously have an easier time getting an answer, whereas someone more antagonistic may simply be met with silence. She may not lie, but neither is she obligated to tell the truth.

There's obviously some wiggle room, depending on context. White lies told as jokes generally get a free pass. But in a serious context, "we both know this isn't true, but let's pretend it is in this moment"-type scenarios are a good example.
