That Sybil ask had me 👀👀👀

Phalanges (What is their relationship with touch) for Vasilisa? 🥺

<333333 hehehe welcome to my doll closet!!!! >:3 prompt from this ask prompt game

in a word: complicated. in two: complicated (touchstarved).

It isn't that Vasilisa grew up longing for physical affection. Her mother wasn't particularly physically affectionate, it's true, but Vasilisa was held as a baby and hugged plenty growing up. She just wishes she could separate so much of it from the parts she would rather not dwell on, where she was more caretaker for her mother than the other way around.

To be touched is to be acknowledged, to be known as a presence if not recognized. Vasilisa did not feel very comfortable in her own body for a lot of her youth, and so viewed most touch as an assessment she was sure to fail. She welcomes being touched but is very afraid of and mortified by the idea of her own touch being unwanted.

After she became able to feel more at home in her skin in her late teens/early twenties, touch became less intimidating for her. She is generally very physically affectionate once her initial hesitancy around a person fades, to the point that she easily comes off as clingy or desperate. In an argument, she can withstand puppy dog eyes and verbal pleas, but has a much harder time not folding to being touched.

hello jinx! could you answer mandible and ribcage for vasilisa, please <3

hello friend!! with extreme pleasure, thank youuuu <3 prompt from this ask prompt game

mandible / jawbone. what are they incapable of saying out loud ?

if pressed to answer this, vasilisa would shrug and say something vaguely alluding to her mother's addiction issues or her own life desires. the real answer is in the pockets of visceral resentment bubbled over into rage when vasilisa is left alone with the aftermath of having to have used her teeth for someone's own good. she'll be the bad guy if there has to be one to keep everyone taken care of, but vasilisa hates the feeling of snapping and hates herself for the things she thinks when she's angry. she can't say she wishes her mom had been more like a mom all the time or a better mom; she can't say she never asked to be born; she can't say any of that, but she can tell herself she doesn't mean it.

ribcage. who/what are they trying to protect ?

vasilisa has very clear priorities in life! she wants to protect her people's happiness above all else, even at the expense of her own (to an extent). if she can keep those she loves happy while the world falls apart on its axis, she's happy. even her all-pink super blush appearance is a kind of protection for her own happiness.
