thinking about the tiefling and friends again

serving him under a giant cloche just for you 💖

who am I to deny the snail??

anyway. pov you caught him red-handed being sentimental and picking a flower to press later

I stand by khasar not being anything close to model/movie star levels of attractiveness but I DO think he would age really, really well

put the new valentione's cardigan on khasar, had the immediate thought "ha, his middle-aged man fit," then pictured him with gray streaks in his hair + reading glasses and fell to my knees

anyway I do love thinking about him acting as a mentor to the other healing students….I need to revisit that era sometime

typing this out I’ve realized that I’m usually so far in my “normal guy has no interaction with the wol stuff” mindset that I forget khasar technically knows e-sumi-yan

not that they’d have any kind of relationship tbh. khasar gets an A+ and “pleasure to have in class” and that’s the extent of it

khasar started off in gridania 🙂‍↕️ after leaving yanxia, he headed there because he’d heard it was the place to go to continue studying healing magic

I’ve got it in my head that the conjury class he ended up joining was all inexperienced kids/teens, so he ended up acting as a TA lol

my dark secret is that I have pet names I call other people's wols in my head but don't worry about that

I affectionately call khasar a miserable bastard all the time if that counts 😭 also, in no particular order:

-science man
-dr. lizard/dr. snake
-my horrible/terrible lizard
-my worst guy ever

literally so funny that I decided it wouldn't work in his wol-verse, made up a separate au where they got together in his non-wol timeline, and then that SUPER didn't work

how I talk about the yearning I was cooking up with khasar/aymeric before khasar went and torpedoed the relationship with his self-destructive tendencies

I wondered which one of us was wrong about who I was.

A surge of something sick and cold in the gut, an anger so deep it bordered on mania, threatened to bubble up as a laugh.

lycaon is def more of a “side character” in my mind in that I haven’t developed a full profile for her and likely never will. but she’s still one of my favorites. it can be so fun to think on a character who is just straight-up evil

biggest difference is that, as driven as he is, khasar has certain lines he will never cross. lycaon doesn’t. if her research requires a life or two, well, those people can die knowing it was in service to a greater cause

she’s also more charismatic than him. and dare I say scarier lol

anyway the two are similar in that they’re both highly ambitious, feel they have something to prove, and have a tendency to be drawn in by unusual topics. also their lax views on morals and social rules.

I hc that the ambition + draw towards weird stuff is a commonality between all lycaon’s shards

she’d want to take khasar’s place (taking over his body or doing some magic soul absorption shit, whatever’s easiest) and would honestly believe he owes that to her.

MEANWHILE khasar would find lycaon. unnerving. and would think she’s absolutely nuts after getting to know her better

I love thinking about this tbh. lycaon would already be bitter about being sundered, but then finding out that some inferior, watered-down version of herself is walking around living his life?? ohhh she’d be furious

khasar giving s-tier hugs is one of my favorite little stupid tidbits about him. I don’t think he even knows how good he is at it

initiated by him (extremely rare) - pulls you into himself and clings more. probably also uses one hand to cradle the back of your head. very warm, perfect amount of squeeze that’s just enough to make you feel it without being suffocating 👍

initiated by someone else (assuming he likes them) - slow and hesitant at first, partially because he’s waiting to see if you’ll let him go. if you’re stubborn enough to not give in, though, he’ll relent and you’ll get a nice solid, warm hug. it’ll be a quick one, though. and he’ll complain after.

I get overcaffeinated. I ramble on here for way too many posts. I leave. repeat ad infinitum

FOR MEEEEE it really hits when I'm discussing a plot point with someone and one of us can hit the other with something like "ohhh and this would hit blorbo especially hard because it reminds her of what happened with her friend that died"

then again the vast majority of my rp experience comes from forums which is arguably a different culture.....I dunno I prefer my partner(s) knowing what's up. I already said it feels more collaborative to me but also I think not having that info means you lose out on some of the character's depth

anyway fascinated by the responses to that qotd....in my experience it's always kinda been a given that the people you're rping with know your oc's backstory (or at least the bare bones). I'm kinda shocked to see how many people enjoy "surprising" the person/people they're writing with

fun fact khasar's carrd still technically has the history page coded in. instead of removing it I put a stupid joke there

anyway all that said I don't think I'd call myself a "find out in rp" type of person because I actually prefer if my rp partner knows all of an oc's lore. it's more fun that way imo 🙂‍↕️ feels more collaborative.

so idk I guess I'm a secret third option. not "find out in rp" but "find out from me" LOL

and I don't say that last bit in a self-deprecating "no one cares" way!! I think it's a lot to expect strangers to read through paragraphs of lore, especially in cases like mine when I'm not looking to use it as jumping off point. personally I'll usually only skim the history on someone else's carrd

-like 90% of his history isn't relevant in terms of rp starting points, and anything that *is* relevant fits well enough in his bio or as a hook. with some ocs it's fun to say "oh what if they met years ago," but I'm not into that with him

-honestly?? did not think people were reading it anyway LOL
