🔥 + assuming things of your muse
Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.
Okay so, yes, I know my muse is a prince but if I keep seeing every other reply turning into ‘spoiled prince’ this and ‘not kingly enough’ that, I’m going to get bored with you. I’m going to drop that thread.
Because there’s more to a muse than one or two traits and I don’t see Noctis as being spoiled. He’s twenty fucking years old so please tell me you were omg spr srs mature at twenty. Please. Because I’m twenty-seven and I’m still giggling at butt jokes like I’m thirteen. Let him be a goofy goober while he can okay? Boy’s gonna die when he’s thirty and lose ten years of his life to a bitchy God who can’t clean up his own damn messes.
And please, don’t assume he’s going to be unkind. Noct quite literally does what he can to help people in Lucis while he can, sure he’s getting something in return for it but the fact of the matter is he doesn’t have to do it in the first place but he still does.
I’ve seen so many people going on about him being spoiled and selfish and I’m sorry but I just don’t see it.
He has to fight to get to do what he wants. He can’t even go to the arcade without being hunted down by someone to protect him. Forget going out to a bar and getting drunk. You better believe he can’t date anyone because the scandal would absolutely follow him his entire life. He’s not even living with his father, doesn’t remember his mother’s voice, lost his twin brother a few days after birth (blog headcanon), and then loses his home city and gets the crown thrown at him.
But yet. People want to say he’s selfish. Surejan.gif.
As for other muses? I will never assume anything of your character. Canon or not, OC or not, I don’t know shit about how someone chooses to write their character until I actually get a chance to talk to them and see for myself. I have no right to assume anything of their muse so if I start asking fifty goddamn questions - that’s me trying to learn how you write them.
Now look, I know we all played the same FFXV game (or at least, I hope we did) so canon gives me a good idea of what might be there but canon divergent exists. And you know what? There’s nothing wrong with being a canon divergent blog. Add in what you think is relevant for your muse, they’re yours now. Write that character the way you see them.
Don’t worry about anyone tf else. You do you and keep killing it, okay?
