🌿 ANSBACH :)c

Send 🌿 to accidentally get caught under the mistletoe with my muse.

Pssh! Accidentally... There was nothing accidental about that, surely...!

He reached down, scooping the pureblood knight into his arms. He was taking a slow leisurely stride around his palace with Ansbach situated in the crook of his arm. Staring down at him, slowly blinking his eye.

He traced his fingers over the front of Ansbach's helmet, hopeful to receive permission.

“our odds are better together” mohg to morgott? :0

"... Like old times."

The omen drew in a breath... Old times, prowling those dank tunnels together, in search of the prawn.

"... Dost thou remember? Hunting the crustaceans together."

“Why do them brats call y’ Ice Man? Issit cos you’re so bloody pale, or cos you’re a slippery fuckin’ worm?”

Creighton asks this as if he hasn’t had his ass absolutely handed to him by Alberich’s ice magic before. But whether he’s just trying to be rude or is actually stupid is still up for debate… As is whether or not he’s genuinely come in peace this time.

Time will tell.

And just like that, Alberich had an arm around Creightons shoulders and was smiling ear to ear.

"Ohhhhhhhh? Can't stay away from me, can you~? Tell me what brings you to the hold? It has been far too long since you graced me with your company"

Graced? Was that a pun?

Maybe he’s just hungry. Maybe he’s just pissed. Or maybe the loneliness of this long, long walk from Caelid to Limgrave has finally caught up to him. But Creighton feels drawn towards the lonely little fire — to the warrior who sits beside it, taking a knife to the felled animal. Behind his steel-and-chain mask, the knight crinkles his nose in disapproval of the sight of kill. He likes deer, after all... She coulrn’t have chosen a less cute animal for dinner, huh? Harrumph.

“You’re makin’ a damned mess a’ somethin’ wha’ oughta be beautiful,” Creighton sneers down at her, his arms crossing as he approaches the empty campsite without so much as a glance of invitation. But he needs no friendly wave. He makes the rules, after all. And the card that’s been played right now is: if he decides he doesn’t like her, he’s gonna take that deer for himself, and carve it up proper.

Boots crinkle through the tall grass, steps equal parts playful and threatening. His arms are crossed, though — weapon holstered to his hip. He clicks his tongue against his teeth. “Tha’ knife looks like it ‘asn’t been sharpened since the Shatterin’. You tryina attract harpies with all tha’ mess…?”

The warrior fell silent. Setting aside her knife, she pushed herself up onto her feet and turned, resting one hand on the hilt of her scimitar as a stranger approached.

“Well, what would you prefer? That I cook it with it’s fur still clingin’?” The warrior began with a quirk of her brow.

As the stranger neared closer, the warrior’s grip tightened.

“It obviously attracted you,” said the warrior, showing the steel of her blade; a warning that any closer, and she will draw arms.

“Your name...?”

5. What is a character you love, but don’t think you can write?

6. Name 3 things you love most about your muse/muses.

:0!!

HMMMM YOU KNOW? THAT WOULD BE GWYN from Dar.k So.uls. I WOULDN'T SAY LOVE BUT I find him really interesting as this figure who truly just influences all 3 games from start to end — in a mostly negative way. The series' ultimate villain, but one I really do see acting in the name of his own twisted idea of greater good. Absolutely a despicable man playing to be god by using the power of the Flame, along with his allies: the other Lords and the other so-called gods. But I think Gwyn was far more human than he presented himself as. Also less caricature-esquely evil than most fandom makes him seem (for example as a bad father and tyrant) often to use his image as a demonized figure to make their favorites look better... as it usually is. Actually, in that complexity and nuance and subtlety, which I see him having, resided the source of his greatest evil and oppression.

Why wouldn't I write Gwyn? Cause he'd give me a headache with his disgusting fictional racism tbh. As a non-white person, yeah, I'd struggle a bit — even if irl issues ARE NOT the same as fictional shit and shouldn't be trivialized as such. But still.... big yikes.

AND Ohhhh... let's see! For Crow here:

The dichotomy of his personality in terms of how ruthlessly cruel he can be, and then also so gentle and soft. Sometimes that gentleness is just deceitful. Sometimes it's real. Depends on the situation... but that never makes him any less awful overall.

I've never liked traditional vampires as they appear in several countries myths and folklore, and then in pop culture and mass media, admittedly. BUT I DO LOVE CAIN.HURST as a whole... at least what little we get in game lol. As i see it, that mixture of horror, blood culture, vampirism, inhumanity, etc is just super interesting. YET I think it was never quite as nefarious as the Church painted it to be. There's certain value in a story that's way more political than just a mere demon hunt thing — despite any religious propaganda.

He's got no story or background or anything so MY OC NOW. 🤧🤧🤧🤧😘 LMAO.

👫!! for maldron & whichever of my muses u want?? ;v;

Maldron + Magerold it is!

1. Maldron is an absolute chaos goblin who had and will continue to, make trouble around Iron Keep because Magerold is an enabler that lets him do it. He’s the one who will absolutely lead undead inside just to get them onto the bridge, you know that one where the Captain and about seventeen knights are at? Yeah that one.

2. Also he 100% has stolen from undeads who visited Maggie’s shop. He knows Maggie finds it hilarious and sometimes even share the stupid shit that he steals off of undeads. That’s how he came across that ring of the living.

3. Chances are that all those armors that you see in Maggie’s shop is because Maldron decided to slide in after the Curse Bearer (side eyes @of-forossa) did his thing, snatched it up and sold it to Maggie for souls. That and some of that shit is just way too heavy for twinky little Maldron lmao.

4. Maggie probably gives him discounts on certain items in his shop... as in discounts to a point where it matches the price of other merchants instead of being stupidly expensive. Maldron will bargain with him until he agrees to a discount like my mom on a Sunday morning at Costco with the cashiers djfksdjf.
