"Stare at the sun for too long and it will blind you. More dangerous is that Jo does that without you realising. Plucks a smile, or a laugh, or your attention as sure as the twang of a lute string. The most dangerous people do not put you on edge - the opposite, really. They make you look, they'll make you desperate to peer through and behind whatever self-made mask, and soon enough you won't be able to see anything at all.

She'll be the death of me. I think I'm alright with that."

today’s brainworm :  johri, a keeper of the moon, going to the moon.

hi I’m not back here yet, but here’s some Johri trivia from discord. 

If given the chance, Johri will 100% hunt and forage fresh food for her partner.  As the eldest sibling of her family, the responsibility of providing for others fell to her a lot, beside her parents. Despite all appearances of a spoiled tavern bard, Johri is a hunter at heart who can and will collect her own food.

So when she does care for someone, she won't hesitate to provide for them in such a manner. If there's an opportunity for her to hunt, such as when traveling and camping, she will happily show up with a deer and do the whole work of skinning its hide and cutting off what meat she can.  Which is a lot.

Johri grew up with the teachings of waste not, want not. So while she does enjoy indulging herself in taverns, when it comes to the wilderness she does not leave anything behind that can be of use. If there's meat left, it'll get dried into jerky to snack on or wrapped up for later use.  The hides get proper treatment to be sold later.

Hunting wildlife and providing food for her partner is basically part of Johri's love language.

Johri can carry a fully grown, female deer ( 125lbs / 56kg ) without issue, and a male one ( 300lbs / 136kg ) with some effort / for medium distances.

Which not only enables the very sexy image of Johri in a tanktop + shorts carrying a huge animal over her shoulders, it also means she can pick up & yeet your average Ascian any time she likes. Which is important trivia.

I’ve cleaned up some stuff on this blog, but the muse just really doesn’t seem consistent enough. While I’ll still work on drafts here in the background when I can, the official status of this blog will be a semi-hiatus. 

I’ll still be around, but for the most part I’m getting up a separate blog for my other WoL, as the muse is extremely high and my writing inspiration is just tanking by having her as a sideblog.  

regardless, I still love Jo very much and I’ll definitely return to her in the future; but until then, have a good one, xoxo.

( template !! )  don’t look at me.  she’s the one night stand / friends with benefits option with a secret romance route.  you meet her in a tavern as a flirty bard who feels like a side character only to later find out she is one of the main cast ( either WoL or Scion, depending on what background the player picked ).  if I had the patience for visual novels, you’d all be done for.

when you think an idea for your oc is stretching canon too much so you just tentatively have it on the side & barely touch it but then canon does legit the same thing & now u don’t want to look like you’re just copying it.  the struggle is real.

on a brighter note : johri can purr and it’s the one distinction between her merely acting and genuinely caring because it is a very subconscious and natural reaction. long story short, if Johri purrs in someone’s presence, she’s truly at peace and feels safe enough to let her defenses down.  however, most of the time she is not aware of this and will absolutely deny it happened until she’s come to terms with caring about them.

that being said, just like common cats, she will also purr to comfort herself, such as when terrified or near death.  although it’s much more common for her to cover up any fear with anger and therefor growling, so if she does happen to purr instead, Johri’s in a state of deep despair. 

[twicebled]

so I’m talking to valiant on Discord about Johri’s natural affinity for manipulation --- 

Johri is someone who will pull others into the crowds; the festivities she is encouraging.  if she is taking the tavern on a trip with her storytelling and ballads, she'll personally make an effort to include everyone, which was more so the true reason she would annoy xheh’li.  both a genuine curiosity, but also just to engage him and see if she can't work towards getting him to be less Edgy Bastard In The Corner, especially if he's around for a while.

It all boils down to the ulterior motive of knowing the people around her and thus having the knowledge how to deal with anything that comes up, because Knowledge is power, especially when you seek to manipulate people and keep a certain image of yourself. Which at this point is something that simply comes natural to her and isn't even something she uses maliciously.  Hell, she's used it to break up fights and help communities.  But it's such a wildcard because it all depends on her current whims. 

and it has me thinking about just how terrifying that truly can be, once Johri settles into a community as their resident bard. she’ll be known as a fun-loving and charismatic individual “ everyone loves “, and that gives her a shocking amount of power she can either use to inspire benevolence or incite malevolence.  we all know people can be vicious when standing in defense of another and convinced they’re in the right.  Johri intimately knows how to utilize this. 

in true bard fashion, she strings the hearts of the people in whatever direction she wishes and it is something that is not seen much anymore once she becomes the wol, but she never ceases to be such an excellent actress and puppeteer.  very few people ever know more about her than she wishes them to, the scions included.  alphinaud and the fortemps are the only ones she confides in completely.  honestly, she can nearly be likened to a bard in dragon age. 

this is also why at some point I gotta talk about the whole Crystal Brave business in ARR.  Johri knew something was up; she’s spun people around her finger enough times to recognize that.  but at the time she was not invested enough to truly care and match her own affinity for these games with whomever was pulling the strings with the braves, not to mention the spite for being dragged around the way she was.  which then really bit her in the behind with the banquet and everything, and was overall a huge lesson that went towards her character development. 

BUT YEAH !!  johri acts The Fool and her skills beyond being the vaunted warrior of light really get overshadowed, but she has been an incredibly cunning and dangerous individual even before that and will always be when stripped of it.  and what makes it even more terrifying is her chaotic and selfish alignment.  

the warrior of light, with all that singular might and the people behind them, is a god onto themselves.  and johri azah is a wildcard of a god with whims unknown who cares only for her own circle of friends and will protect them fiercely with either fang and claw or the unquestioned influence she has over people.
