8♣️ - What is your muse the most stubborn about?

Answered here!

10♠️ - How does your muse cope with grief?

Cyril is already a chronic workaholic, but if it is possible for it to get worse when he’s grieving, it absolutely does. The most common tell that there is something weighing heavy on his mind though is the distinct combination of drowning himself in his work / a new project, and forgetting to eat in the meantime.

It’s pretty obvious when this starts happening, because Cyril’s meals are prepared by a small, trusted staff within the galley crew. When they realize he’s not touched the meals they prepare and have sent to him - it prompts and almost immediate oh, something’s wrong reaction. Usually they try to remedy this by cooking one of his favorite foods, it usually works in a few days.

He’ll also potentially start smoking more ( if he’s really heartbroken, odds are he’ll open a pack of his black label cigarettes ), possibly even getting into the habit of having a glass or two of a drink in the evenings as well.

Cyril is also a very tactile and sensual person, and when he’s overwhelmed with emotion that can manifest in a few different ways:

Best case scenario - though as one might imagine, very dependent upon his relationship status at the time - if he has a partner, he’ll be very cuddly and romantic. Eager to simply be in the same room and near his lover ( when not working, that is ), holding their hand, playing with their hair, sleeping with them, making love, etc. These moments are about the most tender and needy you’ll ever see him.

Worst case scenario - he’ll find some flimsy excuse to punish a random slave that’s stepped out of line ( no matter how minor the offense ), venting his grief on them. He’s already sadistic, and already takes pleasure in simply putting people in their place - but when grieving he tends to go overboard in terms of how much he’ll put someone through, even by his own questionable standards. Safe to say when he’s battling his grief, the punishment will far exceed what is appropriate for the ‘crime’.

There have been several handfuls of times where an experienced healer must be called aboard urgently to save someone, or attempt to save them, after Cyril’s beaten them bloody and within an inch of their life just to cope with his overwhelming feelings.

And then finally... Cyril is also in the bad habit of not divulging or sharing what is on his mind with others. He shoulders his grief alone, and there have been many times where he’s mourned something completely life-shattering and the crew - even his first mate - were none the wiser other than “Well, he’s not eating, so something is probably on his mind.”

He usually recovers within a few days or weeks, depending on the event that hurt him.

Additionally, how he copes with grief is also touched on here!

Munday  Asks!

birch 🌳 - what’s something you’re proud of? (Also asked by @lareine-kira, thank you!)

Y’all asking the hard questions,,,,,, I think I should be pretty proud of myself for not losing my shit yet during these trying times™️ LOL but I don’t know, not to be sappy on main but proud of my friends tbh, I’m really grateful of the people sticking to me lately, and happy for anyone that’s still around and how they have been dealing this times too.

overgrowth 🌿 - what’s a fact about yourself you’ve never had the opportunity to tell?

sweats I lowkey don’t even remember what I have or have not shared here,, I think the hairdresser bit, that I worked on cosplay wigs and friends’ hair and such for a few years before finally getting a proper school for it, which I finished last year. It’s something I really enjoy and I’m always a bit curious/excited to know about my friends’ hairstyles and routine LOL But yeah, unfortunately I couldn’t start to get more into it in both more classes and work-wise because of the pandemic, especially how stuff is in my country at the moment. ; ;

“You’re still here.” It wasn’t a question, maybe something more of a surprising fact. The only indication that Luana heard her was the slightest twitch of an ear. One sweep of the dravanian’s gaze was enough to tell her just how long the miqo’te had been sitting there. Grooves were dug into the earth beside her, nails having clawed at it from frustration, a heartachingly weathered look was worn on her face, scorch marks left on her boots and a long since burned down village below the cliffs they looked down from.

She was losing control.

Verdandir carefully sat beside the other, unafraid but cautious. They remained that way for a moment longer, content in their shared silence. It wasn’t until Luana leaned into her side, head on her shoulder while her eyes slid shut, that the silence was broken. “I can’t keep doing this,” she admitted beneath a breath, “I’m so tired…”

“Then rest,” the other spoke softly, “I will be here when you wake.” When it seemed that Luana wouldn’t be able to relax however, Verdandir began to hum quietly, her head tilting until a pale horn brushed the top of the womans head. Gentle words sung began to silence the voice within and soon sleep came for the tempered one, peaceful, safe for now.

2: What do you struggle the most with when roleplaying?

(( Munday Questions )) [OPEN] 

Group Roleplay.

Man, I have no idea where this one even came from. I used to LOVE roleplaying in medium to huge sized groups, or attending server events and plots. Hell, I used to be an RP officer for several guilds / FCs across multiple MMOs, but it’s just something I can’t handle any more.

As of late, I’ve been slowly easing back into it under the gentle yet firm guidance of @jeaart, who has been an absolutely astounding roleplay partner. Because of her, I’ve regained a lot of the confidence I used to have, and have been able to shatter a lot of the roleplay based anxiety I’ve gained over the past few years.
