—    BASICS.  

▸     IS    YOUR    MUSE    TALL    /    SHORT    /    AVERAGE ? 4′10″ He’s definitely pretty small!

▸      ARE    THEY    OKAY    WITH    THEIR    HEIGHT ? It used to bother him a lot more. Now he’s mostly come to accept it

▸      WHAT’S    THEIR    HAIR    LIKE ? It’s usually tied up, since he likes it out of his face while he’s working and he is almost always working. When it’s down his bangs fall across his eyes. It’s soft textured, and very thick and fluffy. Can be hard to tame in the mornings, and hard to get to sit flat when he takes his top knot down.

▸     DO    THEY    SPEND    A    LOT    OF    TIME    ON    THEIR    HAIR     /    GROOMING ? Probably less than average. He’s careful about his skincare, and likes to brush his hair out so that it won’t tangle, but that’s the most thought he gives it. 

▸      DOES   YOUR   MUSE   CARE   ABOUT   THEIR   APPEARANCE   /   WHAT    OTHERS    THINK ? Rin has pretty low self esteem, so I guess that means he at least kind of cares? He’s accepted his appearance as it is though. In his eyes he’s plain and mousy looking, which he takes as a negative but also feels that it does suit his personality. He wants to be liked, and is a people pleaser, but also has enough wherewithal to only bend to other’s will on little things. He doesn’t compromise his beliefs easily.  

—    PREFERENCES.

▸      INDOORS    OR    OUTDOORS ?    Indoors ▸      RAIN    OR    SUNSHINE ?    Sunshine ▸     FOREST    OR    BEACH ?    Beach ▸      PRECIOUS    METALS    OR    GEMS ?     Metals ▸     FLOWERS    OR    PERFUMES ?     Flowers ▸     PERSONALITY    OR    APPEARANCE ?   Personality ▸     BEING    ALONE    OR    BEING    IN    A    CROWD ?     Alone ▸     ORDER    OR    ANARCHY ?     Order ▸      PAINFUL    TRUTHS    OR    WHITE    LIES ?     Painful truths ▸     SCIENCE    OR    MAGIC ?     Science ▸      PEACE    OR    CONFLICT ?     Peace ▸     NIGHT    OR    DAY ?     Night ▸      DUSK    OR    DAWN ?     Dusk ▸   WARMTH    OR    COLD ?     Warmth ▸     MANY   ACQUAINTANCES    OR    A    FEW    CLOSE    FRIENDS ?     Few close friends  ▸     READING    OR    PLAYING    A    GAME ?     Both

—    QUESTIONNAIRE.

▸      WHAT    ARE    SOME    OF    YOUR    MUSE’S    BAD    HABITS ?

He’s nervous and indecisive, he bites his nails, he puts his ponytails in too tight, he will accept blame even if he isn’t at fault, He finds it hard to relate to people emotionally, He’s shy and doesn’t put himself out there, he doesn’t eat healthy, He procrastinates work he should be doing in favor of experiments that he wants to be doing.

▸      HAS    YOUR    MUSE    LOST    ANYONE    CLOSE    TO    THEM ?      HOW    HAS    IT    AFFECTED    THEM ? Rin doesn’t really get close to people all that often. He keeps a distance rather than get close and get hurt. So probably not, actually. 

▸      WHAT    ARE    SOME    FOND    MEMORIES    YOUR    MUSE    HAS ? Curled up in abandoned places in the Rukongai reading, Finally achieving the last breakthrough needed for an experiment to work, the first bite of a new kind of sweet, baking cakes with Yumichika and Hanataro to help Heita. 

▸     IS    IT    EASY    FOR    YOUR    MUSE    TO    KILL ? Definitely not. Rin has only killed once, and it was before becoming a shinigami. He accidentally killed someone while defending himself in the Rukongai, and it made him absolutely sick and freaked him out for a long time. 

▸      WHAT’S    IT    LIKE    WHEN    YOUR    MUSE    BREAKS    DOWN ? Hyperventilating, shaking panic. Almost certainly a lot of crying. He pulls in on himself, fidgets and rambles and is very hard to get through to. Probably hides himself away in some dark corner where he can be alone. 

▸      IS    YOUR    MUSE    CAPABLE    OF    TRUSTING    SOMEONE    WITH    THEIR    LIFE ? Yes, but it is fair from an easy task. Rin is naturally trusting to an extent, because he believes the best in people, but he’s also constantly stuck in fight or flight mode most of the time. So getting someone who he trusts enough that he doesn’t run is rare. 

▸      WHAT’S    YOUR    MUSE    LIKE    WHEN    THEY’RE    IN    LOVE ? Rin’s behavior is somewhat of a cycle when it comes to love. He’s shy and nervous when he first meets someone, especially someone he’s attracted to. Over time he’ll open up to them, grow to be more comfortable and more of the true self he doesn’t get to show much. And finally when he realizes he’s in love he’ll probably be shy and anxious again. He wants to do good by the one he loves, and his self depreciating nature won’t let him think people love him back easily. But he would work hard to do what he can for them and go out of his way to make time for them and buy them little presents and things to show he was thinking about them through the day.

“It is none of your business, Shinigami.” He stated again, hardly moved by her words. Orihime was honestly sweating at this point. 

Hands shaking, she slowly reached out to grab his hand. He shifted his gaze down to her for a moment, before a slight softness entered his eyes and he closed them to hide it, as if aware that it was there.

“Please let it go, Ma’am.” She was surprised that the Shinigami was so accepting, but–in a way, she was making it worse.

[thistleblades]

It was frustrating for Meiko. If there was one thing that really got under her skin it was men with superiority complexes. Especially ones that took them out on sweet girls. But if the girl didn’t want to be defended she supposed it wasn’t her place to insist. And, well, seeing that little display maybe there was more going on than she knew. 

“Well, whatever. Anyway.”

She turned solely towards the girl, back to the same smiling person she was before the Arrancar joined them. 

“Frogs. If you see them, let me know. The big one is fine, a real sweetheart honestly. But the little one is a fire bug you’ll wanna give her a wide birth if you’ve got anything flammable on you.”

She had remembered to mention the little one, hadn’t she? 

[thistleblades]

candice-thunderkitty‌:

          Candice had never been shy or skittish her entire life. Or maybe she had been, back when she was very, very young, but she could no longer remember that time. Self-conscious and timid individuals typically do not last long in the long regime of the Wandenreich, unless they possessed some sort of ridiculously broken ability…or had a strong backer to protect them. The Thunderbolt has had to claw her way up to power just like most of her fellow Quincies. Surviving and getting on top took most of her time and energy; she shut out everything else, basically. 

               “ I don’t know. Why don’t you just ignore it? Pretend it doesn’t exist, and it won’t bug you anymore, ”she stated decisively, because hey, that had worked just fine for her. “ If you don’t think about something, you forget about it, right? Isn’t that how it works? ”

“Well... maybe!” 

The shinigami offered her the best smile he could muster, though it was still sheepish and shy. He couldn’t fault her for the things she said, he genuinely believed she was doing her best to help. But people who had never lived the way he did wouldn’t understand what it’s like to be how he is. 

In the Rukongai, his shyness was his best quality. In order to survive he had to make himself as small as possible. He wasn’t worth the effort it would take to get rid of him, and that was solely how he survived among the greedy and violent personalities that he grew up near. Keeping his head down until he found a way out. 

But now he could try to be bolder. He was safe in the Seireitei, wasn’t he? And well, he might not have many close friends but there were people who would have his back out of solidarity, right? 

“I can try at least. W-work on it a little at a time. ” 

[thistleblades]

hirako5hinji‌:

    “ That sounds fairly benign, and nothin’ quite like what I imagined, ” Shinji remarked, but decided not to elaborate. The 12th Division did not always enjoy the best reputation when it came…to many things. Animal studies and research was also far from the blond’s forte and interest, but he had hung around with people like Kisuke long enough to appreciate that sometimes fascinating inventions could arise from these seemingly tedious pursuits. Writing off the efforts of any scientist researcher would be unwise. 

          He shrugged, an exasperated expression creeping over his sharp features. “ Yeah, it was a right pain in the ass cleanin’ up the office again ‘coz that dumbass who played the prank went fuck happy with all the blood theatrics and even messed up all the paperwork. ” Luckily, the documents were all accounted for, or this event would have been escalated straight up to Central 46. He had been considerably annoyed at first, but his office had already been restored to its pristine condition and it was just too much energy to hold grudges for long in the first place.

          The two Shinigami made an odd, unusual picture at the moment, standing side by side conversing casually. But Rin was not unfamiliar to Shinji - the younger Soul was one of the more easygoing individuals to interact with in his squad, and his experiences so far had been pleasant.

“ Leavin’ that surveillance bird aside, s’up with you? You look kinda flustered- well, more flustered than usual. ”

“With all due respect, sir, just what is it that you think we do here?”

There was a faint noise from the smaller man that could almost be taken as a quiet laugh, his face hidden for a moment behind the over-sized sleeve of his lab coat. Sure, his Captain was unconventional and often down right dangerous, and maybe his division had a habit of collecting members with questionable grasp on morality and what is and is not an acceptable experiment, but they were still a recognized division of the Seireitei and were still regulated because of that. They couldn’t really get too crazy without anyone noticing, right? Rin was firmly in the encampment that most of those rumors were just that, and those with grains of truth in them were often blown out of proportion. They were just researchers, after all. Not mad scientists. Though, maybe Rin was just used to the craziness after almost a hundred years.

The bit about blood theatrics caught his attention, reminding him of a few of the rowdier members of his division. He hadn’t heard anything about them getting up to trouble lately, but then again he was far from someone that would be wise to involve with such plans. He hoped that his suspicions were wrong and they weren’t the ones causing trouble for the kind captain, after all Captain Hirako had never been anything but good to Rin, but he figured he was probably right in his assumption. Another hit to the divisions reputation, he supposed. The rest of them would have their work cut out for them for a while making it up.

The other’s question pulled him back our of his thoughts, and it took a few seconds of blank staring for Rin to realize that he’s being addressed once more. A nervous shake of the head and sheepish smile were enough to confirm the older soul’s assessment.

“Well, there was a bit of an accident in the lab today while I was working on fine tuning some of our broadcasting equipment. Something must have frayed some of our wires and-” He trailed off, sighing and waving his hand in the air. “Long story short were down a few monitors right now and the fire was bad enough that the ninth had to come in for an incident report. And they’re… not really our biggest fans.”

Rin was far from unused to being chewed out by members of the Ninth. Being in charge of internal protection of the Seireirtei it wasn’t unheard of that they had to stop by the twelfth to put out some of the fires, both literal and figurative, that some of the more risky experiments caused. It always seemed like they had no respect for the progress that the twelfth was making on top of that, they were just seen as dangerous, and causing trouble. Not to mention how bad they were all going to get it when Captain Kurostuchi heard about the damages.

❝ It’s only forever, not long at all. ❞

❝ All right then, throw down your weapons, and I’ll see that you’re well-treated. ❞

❝ Don’t tell me truth hurts, because it hurts like hell. ❞

❝ No one can blame you for walking away. ❞

❝ I don’t know why, but every now and again in my life - for no reason at all - I need you. ❞

❝ The way forward is sometimes the way back. ❞

❝ It’s very rude to stare! ❞

❝ What did you have to go and do a thing like that for? ❞

❝ What’d you expect fairies to do? ❞

❝ What’s the matter, my dear, don’t like your toys? ❞

❝ There’s such a sad love, deep in your eyes. ❞

❝ I’ll place the sky within your eyes. ❞

❝ What kind of magic spell to use? ❞

❝ I’ll paint you mornings of gold. ❞

❝ I’ll spin you Valentine evenings. ❞

❝ I’ll be there for you as the world falls down. ❞

❝ We’re choosing the path between the stars. ❞

❝ I’ll leave my love between the stars. ❞

❝ How you turned my world, you precious thing. ❞

❝ You starve and near exhaust me. ❞

❝ I do believe in you. ❞

❝ I live without the sunlight. ❞

❝ I love without your heartbeat. ❞

❝ I can’t live within you. ❞

candice-thunderkitty‌:

          Candice gazed dubiously at the smaller man’s cautious reply. He looked like he did not quite know what to make of her, and the sentiment was very much mutual, actually. The Shinigami was always so skittish and she blinked at his tentative apology. 

               “ Is it even possible to stop that sort of thing? If you can control being easily startled, wouldn’t you have already done so in your daily life? ” The celadon-haired woman continued to gaze expectantly at him. “ How are you going to do that, then? ”

He supposed that she did have a point. It wasn’t as though Rin had a plan for how to achieve this at all, but he would certainly try. He had thought, many times, over the years that he should learn to be a little be less skittish, but he’d never put any foot forward to start to work on the goal. 

“W-well, You’re right that it isn’t really something I can control. But It’s not something that I’ve tried to improve upon either. Most people don’t pay enough attention to me for it to have really affected anything before now. There’s gotta be some kind of way to... improve?” 

People had ribbed on him for his shyness plenty of times, but no one had ever actually presented it as an issue before. 

[thistleblades]

“Help is coming. Just stay calm.” for Rin O:

The shinigami shook his head woozily, doing his best to sit up. It took a few moments to register that someone was speaking to him, his eyes blinking slowly and repeatedly trying to focus in on the other’s face. He was out of it enough that he wasn’t even quite sure what was going on, beyond the fact he seemed to be on the ground and his head was pounding.

“What happened?” 

[ishgard]

Anyone else ever wanna just… make pre-established connections between characters without having to RP it out cuz you’re a tired busy adult?

Like just hit each other up with shenanigans and tomfoolery and ‘they would totally do this’ sorta bs.

[horrificmemes]

Attacked [sentence starters]

Monster-themed for the most part, but feel free to change ‘it’ pronouns to something else for a humanoid villain.

“Settle down, you’re safe now.” “Who hurt you? WHAT hurt you?” “I don’t know what it was that attacked me.” “Did you see what they looked like?” “Please, help me. I’m hurt.” “All I remember are teeth and a whole lot of pain.” “I was sure I was going to die.” “I would be dead if you hadn’t found me.” “What the hell was that thing?!” “Oh god, please don’t be dead. Please don’t be dead.” “I don’t want to think what would have happened if you didn’t show up.” “Do you have any idea what did this to you?” “Was it an animal? A person?” “It all happened so fast.” “Stop screaming, I’m not the one who hurt you!” “You’ll be alright, just calm down and tell me what happened.” “I’m so sorry this happened to you.” “I’m not sure it was even human.” “That looks like it hurt.” “Help is coming. Just stay calm.” “Don’t just stand there, help me!” “You’re lucky I came by when I did, or else you’d be dead.” “You shouldn’t be out here alone.” “Wh-where am I? What happened to me?” “You never know what might be prowling around out here.” “Why would anyone want to attack you?” “Hey, can you hear me? Are you alright?” “A-am I going to die?” “We have to go before it comes back!” “I don’t even know why it left me alive.” “I-I need a doctor. Please.” “Damn, it looks like you pissed off a grizzly bear.” “It was you. You did this to me!” “Do you think it’ll come back?” “I-I didn’t get a good look at it.” “It’s okay, I’ll help you. Just don’t try to move.” “How do you know so much about monsters?” “You need to learn how to protect yourself.” “Honestly, it’s a miracle you weren’t torn to shreds.” “I don’t think I’ve ever been so scared in my life.” “You’re not going to die. I’ll make sure of it.” “Whatever happens to me, make sure the one who did this pays the price.”

 hirako5hinji‌:

         Truth be told, Shinji could not recall seeing a lot of animals in Soul Society, let alone Seireitei and within the premises of the Gotei. “ …So you lot are training animals…what for, again? ” he enquired in a vaguely curious, vaguely nonplussed manner. 

          The 12th Division was certainly intellectually inclined, and while they were also combat ready as all squads in the Gotei were required to be, it wasn’t entirely their main forte. Perhaps those creatures were meant to be battle aides? Training animals to defecate at will were not exactly an effective move set, but then again Twelfth was good at turning the tides given very small, unique, windows of opportunity, it seemed…

         Rin was starting to look rather nervous, and Shinji stared back at him in his usual deadpan manner, not even trying to guess what had set the smaller Shinigami off this time. The younger Soul was commonly concerned by a lot of things, usually concurrently, too.

              “ Yeah, I get that yer squad is surveying everyone for the sake of internal security, ” Shinji acknowledged slowly. Probably also for other things, knowing Mayuri, but best not to ruminate on that for now. “ I see the necessity, even if I’m not entirely enjoyin’ the process of it. My office was vandalized by a couple of pranksters a few days ago, and we managed ‘ta identify the perpetrators with those surveillance footage. ” Granted, those aforementioned culprits were also from the Twelfth, but he would leave the punishments for Mayuri to eke out to those troublemakers. Shinji steered the conversation back to the present.  

              “ Why are ya here anyway, Rin? Are ya tryin’a capture that bird, or what? ”

“Well, they are mostly for study and for test subjects. A lot of things that you can learn from animals biology. For most of the members who work with the animals, that’s just it. Meiko takes it a little bit further just because she wants to. I suppose you could say the training is mostly her own project. Captain wasn’t a fan of it, at first. But she’s made some very interesting advancements, so he’s accepted it. ”

They’d been studying for a while the different kinds of biological defenses and offenses that various animal species had. Things like exoskeletons and acid glands and the like. Of course, Rin didn’t know that much about it. He was more on the tech side than the biological side. But from what he’d seen in passing it could certainly be a helpful study. Though, he did wonder if the other shinigami divisions would really be on board with some of the things they’d researched. 

“Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that sir. But I am glad that you managed to identify them. I certainly hope they didn’t cause you too much trouble. “

Truthfully, Rin never understood the appeal of prank playing. It seemed very high risk and very anxiety inducing, and for what? Was there any reward to it? The satisfaction of pulling it off? The chance to see someone look a bit silly or embarrassed for a minute? It just seemed, well, sort of mean honestly. But nonetheless he was glad that Shinji seemed to understand and didn’t seem cross with him anymore. It was a great relief, Rin wasn’t very good at dealing with people being upset with him.

“Oh, no. No. I didn’t even know the bird was here until I got here. I was just... well, getting some air. My experiments today have been a bit... tricky today.”

“Sir, I...” 

Rin gently pulled on his topknot, fixing his captain with a concerned and tired gaze. He hoped that this wouldn’t land him in some kind of trouble. But also didn’t have high hopes that it wouldn’t

“I know that I’m here after hours. I’m sorry. It’s just... This project that I’m working on. I know that I’m close. I can feel it. It’s gotta be some kind of tiny adjustment somewhere to get it running how it should. It’s hard for less skilled shinigami to conceal their reiatsu naturally. With this they could...” 

He waved his hand, trailing off and shaking his head.

//Im gonna do like a halfway hiatus for a little while? I’ll still be working on things but they’ll probably be really slow and Im definitely gonna focus way more on asks right now that on threads. 

Always open to plotting during this time though

☹ I’m an anxious mess who’s too scared to approach people

I can fully relate to this, but I would be so happy to write with you! I am always around to plot or something if you want to!
