Maybe in a couple of years, when we’re both in a better place, when we’re more confident and secure with ourselves and our lives, we’ll meet again on some street corner.

And if that happens, I promise I won’t let you go, not this time and not ever.

And I suppose if it never happens, I’ll have the brief memory of what might have been to sustain me.

Knowing Your Writing Partner Can Potentially Make Writing Together A Lot Easier

BASICS

NAME: Momo

PRONOUNS: She/Her, whatever

SEXUALITY: Moneysexual

TAKEN OR SINGLE: Forcibly taken by capitalism

THREE FACTS

I brute forced taught myself Japanese starting from high school so I could download doujinshi and read them. Back then, I used illegal copies of Rosetta Stone and a burned CD of Pimsleur's. It helped me with small-talk with people during my trip to Japan in 2024 tbh (altho going solely to Osaka and Kyoto after mostly learning Kanto ben was a ride) . Now I can read all the raw/untranslated BL and doujinshi to my heart's content (jk but also not jk)

I speak both English and Thai fluently but my sister and I call our Thai 'Market Thai' because it isn't formal lmao. Fun fact is that whenever I return to the motherland, my East Asian passing self always gets nihao'd or annyeonghaseyo'd. When I went to Thailand with @pyrrhicpaths, they were spoken to in Thai way more often!! I also Disney princess pspspsp'd my way through the entire trip to every animal I could

My Second-Lead Syndrome is always so strong and it stops me from enjoying a lot of romance-focused stories D; so does my love for side characters who don't get enough screen/panel time

EXPERIENCE

HOW LONG ( MONTHS / YEARS? ): 24 years....? holding my face in my hands I technically started in middle school with a self-insert OC I made with a group of friends to ship with Weiß Kreuz boys. We'd write out collaborative scenarios and print them out to put into a binder, that sounds like RP, right? We even found FC pics on minitokyo to print out and put with each of our 'replies' lol

PLATFORMS YOU'VE USED: Printing out pages, forums, AOL Instant Messenger, Livejournal, Skype, Tumblr, and Discord.

BEST EXPERIENCE: Tumblr since I've met a lot of neat people on here that it's been years (co-opting this reply from Aki)

MUSE PREFERENCES

FEMALE OR MALE: Yes. Tho I tend to have an easier time writing male muses (hot boy summer advantages aside) for whatever reason. I've been trying to pick up more female muses in the past few years though

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: Everything, like my favorite bagel. Although I tend to be very critical with angst because I always fear going into fangst territory, which I hate. Low hanging fruit plots and angst for the sake of angst are so shallow I hate it lol

PLOTS OR MEMES: Both! Though I prefer to chat with the mun ahead of time to clarify dynamics between our muses (even ones who canonically interact or have a history together) just to make sure we're on the same page! But memes can be great ice-breakers or a fantastic diving point to drive from.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: Por qué no los dos? Depends on my mood tbh

BEST TIME TO WRITE: The most inconvenient time for me is usually when my muse is highest

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): Stares at all of them. I...idk...none? Some?

Speaking of Azhdaha I absolutely adore how goofy he looks in his official chibis

You’re telling me THIS is the Geo Dragon Sovereign size of mountain that made earthquakes with every move and who wanted to destroy everything? That THIS dude once held control over the Ley Lines???

“Did you know male penguins present potential mates with nice rocks as a way of courting?” The pair had been so preoccupied with painting that several minutes passed without comment. Unfortunately, she could only go so long sitting in silence. Yanfei peered over her own easel for the next question, a mixture of curiosity and amusement in her expression. “Do you do something similar? Pelt them with love rocks?”

random asks / @wise-innocence. always accepting !

Yanfei had recently mentioned taking up some 'bodyguard work' for an illustrious painter. An eccentric man who only puts out work on his own schedule but is supposedly renown in the art world. Azhdaha doesn't have an ear to the ground in that field but they'll believe what she tells them. The young Hunter has no reason to fib about such matters and so they take it at face value. If they had more interest in the man, an internet search would answer all of their questions—but Yanfei is more than capable of handling herself. Lest he become an old miserly man who only nags in her eyes; they shudder at the thought.

They're absolutely cool. (Right?)

Nevertheless, her work with this 'Rafayel' is why they're currently engaging in this exercise. She must have been inspired by her charge's latest works. The canvas is a place of self-expression, a window into one's soul. Or at least that's what the ancients used to believe and was why artisans were taken in by patrons and sometimes gods themselves. Golden eyes stare at the brushstrokes gliding across the expanse, slowly filling in the blanks. Filling in the gaps, once empty, slowly filling with color. Their gaze shift to her at the thought—painting his world anew with fresh hues.

Eyes soften and as their guard falls, the memories return—an open field of golden flowers, a lone tree glowing with azure light and two silhouettes standing at each other's side looking up at the moon.

Yanfei's voice pulls Azhdaha out of their thoughts. She must have felt their gaze and thought to break the silence.

Penguins? He recalls the new penguin keychain plushie on her bag from a recent trip to Twinkle Toys arcade. Ah.

As they are about the respond, her next question catches them off guard. Laughter bursts and eyes crinkle in amusement. A hand reaches for his stomach, trying not to double over. Azhdaha wipes a tear from their eye.

"'Pelt them with love rocks'? Why on earth would I do that?" Since recalling her memories after helping him find fragments of his Cor Lapis, Yanfei has been inquisitive about the Earth Spirit's true nature. It's a welcome change in their relationship, one that they don't mind. They no longer toe around the 'should' and 'could's of what topics to avoid.

"If you're inquiring about courtships, my kind did not have such rituals." Azhdaha stands and walks around their easel, towards her. His gaze is soft, gentle—always with her, always...

You were special. The words die at the tip of his tongue, upon the graveyard of unspoken sentences longing for release.

"We usually remain alone for as long as we exist." They slowly reach for her hand and entwines their fingers. "But we welcome companionship. So long as the other party is willing to stay—we will welcome the shared warmth."

So, please stay awhile longer...

“It’s only for a few days! I’ve already cleared it with Jenna and everything.”  Well – that was mostly the truth. Jenna had originally suggested a few other temporary partners to step in for Xavier, all of whom Yanfei quickly declined in favor of electing Azhdaha. There were hardly any rookie hunters that could keep up with her and many of the seniors were off on their own missions. Retired or not, they were the only one who could match her rhythm, whether it be investigative or in combat.  “You’re the one who warned me of the dangers of solo missions, right?” She hadn’t let up on the idea since the previous afternoon, and now sat before him in one of the vacant training rooms. They’d give in eventually - it was only a matter of what card would do the trick, the final nail in the coffin that would make them crack. Yanfei hummed to herself, glancing up at them while lacing up her gloves for whatever training they had planned for the day.  “C’mon Azh, would you really send me out there alone?” (lads verse of courseee <3)

random asks / @wise-innocence. always accepting !

Weight leans on the gleaming claymore as they observe the girl enthusiastically convincing him to come out of retirement. Again. It isn't the first time she has, much to Captain Jenna's dismay (and probably Xavier's). Since their retirement from the field, work in the Research and Development department under the Armament Tech unit has increased. Simone does her best in their small team, but much of the work is left to him.

A wry smile tugs at Azhdaha's lips. Their own words being used against them? Is this how a teacher finally feels? Something tugs at his mind—a far off memory, dusty with the ages of time. A jubilant smile accompanied by melodic chimes. A split second change in their expression with furrowed brows before it returns to the serene calm she knows him for.

"Hrmm," they hum while lifting up the claymore and tossing it up. The retired Hunter catches it with one hand and grins, deciding to tease her, "the student becomes the master, is that what this is, Yanfei?"

Azhdaha picks up another claymore from the rack and tosses it at her as if it's a frisbee. "How about this? Land one hit on me today and I will consider it. I'll even give you a handicap; I won't hit back."

Might as well get in another day of training for her. If nothing, this will give her more motivation.

Azhdaha places a peculiar arrangements of precious stones and metals strung together by Xuanwen whiskers around Yanfei's wrist. The elemental energy from the bracelet thrums softly against her skin.

"Those children in the valley wished for me to give this to you. They are quite clumsy with their claws, but they found the stones themselves." Perhaps due to the dragon king's influence, even the younger generations of geovishaps fashioned themselves as craftsmen of sorts.

"They would give it to you themselves, but," Azhdaha pauses and gestures around the bustling city and shrugs, "I warned them that their presence would cause a stir here. Though perhaps once they've gained the ability to craft a human guise, they can tour the harbor themselves."

Unprompted Asks // Always accepting! → @vishapsking

“Oh wow–” 

Each stone was entirely unique and she took the time to study each one. Sure, some of the colors were at odds with each other but how could she complain when it was clearly made with care? The children (as Azhdaha spoke of so lovingly) were obviously talented in ways beyond her own understanding.

Only briefly was she reminded of her own hateful words, spoken out of youthful fear. Not to mention the clumsy apology that followed after weeks of tension. Even with their forgiveness, she still thought of it from time to time - especially when given something so thoughtful. 

After admiring the bracelet a few moments longer, she comfortably links their arms together. "Suppose that means I'll have to meet them instead! Do you have time to walk with me?" Yanfei knew the way by heart but could never pass on their companionship. It would be a shame not to express her appreciation directly. “What kind of stone is this one? Tell me everything!”
