( * VALENTINE’S DAY ALPHABET !

F : FLIRT. is your muse good at flirting? how do they flirt?

I'd say once Felix is confident, he's good at flirting- the caveat being that it takes some time! Mostly, he's shooting for what he thinks is fitting, or the comfort zone of another. If he has to throw them off, it better be with what they like- perhaps an adjustment of positioning, the hem, or something if they're visual. A hug with an extra lil backrub if they're physical, etc. Willing to discuss this kinda thing plotwise, but he picks up on this kinda thing, tries to observe.

Other muses on the blog tend to much, much more direct, but they don't care about comfort zone- so they can be very, very pushy or sudden. What I imagine is a good chunk, of not the majority of the population of unnamed or offscreen people to react with 'ew, fuck off' or be lowkey terrified/concerned, lmao. Too good at flirting /lh

E : EMBRACE. does your muse like hugs? what are their hugs like?

He doesn't advertise it socially, but Felix really likes hugs. His are either strong, or 'bubbly' and energetic- maybe lightly patting/shaking the other. If appropriate, it can turn into more- a massage, kisses, grooming, etc. As a side note some of his pokemon love hugs, so he will give to them!

L : LOVE. who does your muse love?

Generally speaking, Felix has an appreciation for the world, first. The kind of Agape love that he doesn't want to let go of. Love as a friend. But! as displayed by the ships here, he's got romantic and sexual interest! For now, the most 'canon' love interests game wise I have are N, Arven, and Todd Snap; those're the ones that 'make sense' without extra plotting. Felix also has sort of mild celebrity crushes on Raihan, Siebold, and maybe Hassel and Larry (tho Paldea seems to be much more in-person style than from afar tbh.) The F/Os list otherwise lists, but as a self insert blog, selfshipping is a safe bet- all of the muses here have some sort of ship w/ Felix, romantic or platonic.

My other muses are generally the initiators- but he loves them! for Pokeverse he's canon with Volo, Ingo, and Arven- technically also my Emmet, but I haven't sat down and actually written out 'what' the dynamic is for that doc In Words for Emmet; i know some of the scenarios, just need to feed his muse. similar deal with my inactive Adaman- though only the vagueness of a ship is in mind, no real scenarios yet. I was gonna make icons and shit but got lazy. the delay here is mostly no muse;;;

Felix also has several RP ships, the most solid rn being Teal of @hopeful-hugz , and @flock-keeper ! IIRC everything else is still in the....teasing? sort of stage? Then there's a bit of QPP-ish....stuff going on with @gcd-fcrsaken .

And he's, kissed Ari of @twindragonsprophecy , @bigmolayne , and @pidgeyatto 's Falkner, lmaoooo. like unprompted.

Generally speaking he's 'open' to anything mlm or mlnb, just gotta bring up or get used to the idea. proximity=hotness assessment-

I : I LOVE YOU. does your muse find ‘i love you’ easy or hard to say?

it's hard to start or confess, but easy after that! As soon as things are cleared up or established, he will say 'i love you' a lot. I think I've said it to my husband about 5-10 times unprompted alone in the past 3 hours.

X : XOXO. does your muse use / like pet names?

Pet names are a weakness, and some more than others. I can't say he's talented at giving them, or maybe not yet....but he melts at receiving them. If he comes up with something, then yeah, definitely uses pet names.

What is Love?

cw: none // ships: platonic (?) intrulogical, background queer-platonic demus // summary: remus and logan try to figure out the difference between romantic and platonic feelings. // notes: remus uses he/vae and roman is bigender // please don’t like without reblogging, reblogs are much more helpful and encouraging

———

“Remus?”

Remus looks up from his desk to the doorway, where vaer name has been called. Standing there is Logan. He’s dressed in a large blue hoodie and sweatpants with his hair pulled back in a headband and ponytail, instead of his usual attire.

“Hey Lo!” Remus says with a smile. Vae twirl in the office chair he’s in, waving towards himself. “C’mon in, don’t be a stranger!”

Logan stands for another moment, cautious, but then moves into the room, shutting the burn-covered door behind him.

“Hugs okay?” Remus asks. Logan shakes his head, still lingering near the door. “Okay, no problem! Come sit down, what’s on your mind?”

Logan sits on Remus’ bed, leg bouncing as soon as he sits. He stares blankly ahead for a moment and then speaks.

“What is love?”

“Baby don’t hurt me,” Remus sings with a laugh. Logan smiles a bit at that. “Nah but seriously, uh, in general? Or is there a more specific question?” Vae know sometimes Logan will be trying to say something specific but ends up saying something more general while trying to gather his thoughts.

“Well,” he pauses, trying to think of how to phrase his question. “I know, generally, what love is. It is an intense or deep affection for someone you care about. But there’s many kinds. The Greeks words for love are agape, eros, philia, storge, philautia, and xenia, but what’s used now is platonic, romantic, queer-platonic, and familial.”

Logan pauses, and Remus nods to him, so he continues. “Familial and platonic I understand. Familial is love between family, and platonic is love between friends. But I don’t understand queer-platonic or romantic.”

“Ohh okay!” Remus says, understanding the question now. “Uh, shouldn’t you be asking Roman about this? He’s a lot more- “

“She day,” Logan corrects.

“She’s a lot more knowledgeable on romance, y’know? She’d probably be able to explain it better than me.”

“Well, that may be true, but even if you know less, we understand each other more than Roman and I. I’ll understand more of what you explain compared to Roman explaining it.”

“That makes sense,” Remus hums. “Well, queer-platonic’s probably gonna be easier for me to explain because of me and Snakey, so we’ll start there.”

Remus gets up and starts pacing in front of Logan. Moving around helps vaem get vaer thoughts in order.

“Okay so queer-platonic love is sort of a blurred mid line between platonic and romantic. It’s not romantic love and it’s not platonic. It’s stronger than what people traditionally consider platonic, like some qpps want to get married! And that’s not a traditionally platonic thing. It was started by aromantic people, but anyone can use it.

“It’s also, like, subjective I guess? Like Jan and I, we totally could have stuck with labeling our relationship platonic! Because really, queer-platonic is a thing because society has really weird specifications for what should be romantic and platonic. We just use the label because it kinda makes more sense? It’s-, ugh.”

Remus plummets backwards, landing on the floor on his back.

“Okay maybe it’s not easier. I’m sorry Lo, but it’s really weird to explain. Hell, I don’t really get it! Like, romantic feelings are supposed to be so much stronger than platonic, and you’re not supposed to want to kiss and cuddle and that shit with friends, but it doesn’t make sense why!”

“See, that’s my problem!” Logan exclaims from the bed. “How is the strength between friends different than between partners? Where’s the figurative line between close friends and partners? How do you differentiate between romantic and platonic?”

The pair are silent for a moment, taking in the thoughts.

“Romance is such a weird fucking concept,” Remus sighs, sitting up on the floor. Logan nods.

“I wouldn’t typically word it that way, but I agree,” Logan says. “I also may be romance repulsed.”

“Like on the aro spectrum?” Remus asks.

“I’m not sure,” Logan responds, flopping sideways to lay on Remus’ bed. “I just know that standard romantic things, like flirting and kissing, ‘lovey-dovey stuff’,” He does air quotes. “are repulsive to me.”

“That’s valid!” Remus replies. Vae get up and sits at the foot of the bed. “Y’know, I blame this on Disney.”

Logan’s silent, then snorts and laughs. Remus giggles at Logan’s reaction.

“Seriously!” Vae say through giggles. “Romance was a marketing scheme by Disney to sell shit!”

Logan cackles, shoving Remus with his foot. They both laugh for a minute, happy in each other’s company.

When his laughter dies down to breathless giggles, Logan sits up next to Remus and takes vaer hand.

“Love is a very confusing and strange concept, to both of us it seems.” Remus nods. “Nonetheless…I love you Remus. Romantic or platonic or whatever, it doesn’t matter. I care about you very, very much and you’re very important to me. I’m glad to have you in my life.”

Remus gives him a sharp toothed grin and grips his hand a little tighter. “Love you too Lolo. Now, you wanna watch a movie?”

“Hm, documentary?”

“True crime documentary?”

“Deal.”

Multimuse RP questions!

{{ I couldn’t figure out which RP blog to stick these on (since I have like. nine), so I figured I’d just skip to the Answering Part over here. =w=

Found here: https://memesfortheroleplayerssoul.tumblr.com/post/163688858676

is there a muse that you wish gets more attention? Honestly? Dove. There are a couple of people who've said they love reading about her, and I'm so absolutely eternally delighted for them, too deeply appreciative for words! A couple friends I met via rping her, and a couple friends I met in Certain discord servers, but that's about it anymore. But she's my baby, you know? I love her, she's amazing, and I wish more people took the time to write stories with her, because she just has so much potential! I mean, yeah, for angst of course, but also for healing and comfort, for action and fantasy, for mystical and mundane plots alike. She's so multi-faceted and fascinating to explore, I just... well, maybe it's more selfish in that I need help exploring some of the more mundane stuff with her. Because if it doesn't really Have Relevance to a Particular Plot, I generally won't wind up writing it, let alone publishing it. :P But this answer's already too long; I could rave about Dove for hours! All I'm trying to say is, I wish more people cared about OCs.

if you HAD to choose, who’s your favorite muse? Favorite to RP with? Far and away, Dove! Favorite for crack RPs, Srentha or Leyla. Favorite canon character is a GIGANTIC toss-up between Raven and Lapis. Favorite characters to explore for personal reasons are Ryou Bakura and Blue Diamond, but I have a hard time bringing myself to actually WRITE about them, for some reason...

is there a muse that not a lot of people roleplay with? (Besides the ones I haven't advertised? ^^';;) Maybe Phobia? She has only ever existed in comic canons-- though she WAS in the Teen Titans Go comics too! (The original series, not the... bastardization). Anyways, she's a much lesser-known muse. And my muse for her is wildly unreliable, she's a volatile and abrasive character, and my inspiration for her has run dry for awhile now...

if you HAD to choose, who’s your least favorite muse? Phobia. o_o See above, actually.

which one of your muses have you been playing the longest? Prooobably Dove? She was the one I started rping with, of course!

which one of your muses has the most ships? Ships in their canon, or ships in my rps? Because you're talking to a demigray here; I don't really do romance? But in my stories, Dove has 3 ships (all at different times in her life). In rps, Dove has been kinda-contemplating-it shipped a couple times, but never got to the point of, you know, kissing... and in fandom, Lapis probably has the most.

what is each of your muses’ otps? notps? ~ Dove and Srentha together~ (Don't have notps for them.) ~ Kary: food? sleep? Her canon boyfriend Eric ~ Leyla has a qpp named Toby in the stories. ~ Raven: I'm demonbirds trash. I don't even know how that happened, honestly. (Notps include B|BRae and, while not as strong of a NO in the jlvtt canon, ter/raven.) ~ Lapis Lazuli: OTP with Peridot! Intensely notp with jasper. ~ Blue Diamond: OTP with Yellow hardcore, no notps to speak of. ~ Phobia: Utterly unexplored??? I think she voluntarily abstains. ~ Ryou: OTP with Joey (thank my girlfriend for that one)! Notp with Yami Bakura, it’s absolutely 100% possibly my most violently-disgusted NOtp yet. Also with Diva because... What The Fuck??? But I won't rant about that just now. ~ Jess: I haven't really done much shipping, though Mistress and Trick are a hella canon, deeply bonded breeding couple. ~ Evangeline? Sorta-OTP with my gf's character Taex, though it's not exactly a ~romantic~ dynamic. Notp with Srentha, probably, considering she'd try to kill him, given the chance, and she’s pissed at Dove for marrying him.

why were you drawn to each one of your characters? Okay, listen, you can't just ask something like this and expect an easy answer! I could write an Actual Legitimate Essay on EACH ONE, because I only write a character when I'm Extremely Highkey Personally Emotionally Inspired by them!

UPDATE: I tried to summarize, I really did! But there's just so MUCH, and it turned into an essay on its own. --> https://beyondthetemples-ooc.tumblr.com/post/189837029682/why-were-you-drawn-to-each-one-of-your-characters

Summaries go like this: Dove is brave, complex enough to delve deeply in and constantly discover new facets of, and inspiring enough to create a positive experience while doing so. Srentha is fun, positive, and passionate, and legitimate ADHD representation. Leyla is a chill miracle child of creativity and quiet passion. Raven is the reason I'm still alive and perfectly reflected me at about age 14, so I have a very deep personal connection to her. Kary is so fun to explore because she's my polar opposite, as a temperamental pyrokinetic who revels in chaos and really just wants to have a good time. Evangeline is everything Dove suppresses, brought to life, so she's fun to explore as an extension of Dove! Lapis has a lot of struggles to explore and has done a lot of healing and growth that I'd like to expand on someday. Blue Diamond and Ryou Bakura were basically literally me, so I can explore the trauma and healing from their perspectives in a safe space. And Phobia? I just wanted to put characters' mettle to the test honestly, and see what would happen.

which muse is the most fun to write for? Oh, Srentha, absolutely hands down! Dove does have the best close-friends casual-fun kind of rp relationships, though. And Mistress the Mismagius has this sardonic teasing sense of humor that always makes me smile, especially with Murky (Murkrow).

is there another muse you’ve been thinking of adding or writing for? who? Oh stars, I don't need another one. =w= I've been... struggling to get my Ryou blog actually up and running for a long while now. Nobody new has inspired me lately, but I'm pretty stuck in my fandom ways.

what is something everyone should know about your muses before interacting? I stick it all in their bios! But, let's see... Dove: Even though she's Raven's half-sister, she keeps it DESPERATELY hidden, and nobody IC is supposed to know about that. Srentha is very deeply rooted in Azarathean pacifism and won't do much in battle besides help people retreat. Leyla has her father's heart condition and can't do anything too active. Kary will rarely use her powers, as conjuring even a simple spark stings her scar badly. Lapis is more than her toxic relationship! Blue Diamond is NOT the dictator she once was! Ryou does NOT want the spirit of the millennium ring in his life anymore! Jess just... sticks mostly to Sinnoh and rarely ever leaves. And Evangeline has a palpable evil aura about her; she makes SURE of it.

what’s a weird headcanon you have for each of your muses? Dove hates pie. Srentha loves colorful things. Leyla will cover everything in glitter if you let her. Kary will do anything for some good food and/or a nap. Ryou's hair is untamable. Lapis doesn't guard her gem as carefully as she should. Blue Diamond may be more emotional, but she won't sing about it as frequently as other Gems. Raven... doesn't wear underwear?

which muse has the most aus or verses? I mean, the Lapis I was writing for was 97% canon divergent. Evangeline only exists as her own person (and not merely a partition of Dove's mind) in a DCUO-compatible timeline. But I don't really do aus or verses otherwise; it's just more stressful for me.

can you sort your muses from youngest to oldest? Sorting based on the ages I'll generally play them: Leyla (8-14), Dove (15-25), Kary (18+), Ryou (19+), Srentha (20+), Jess (22+), Phobia (23+), Lapis (5k+), Blue Diamond (10k+).

which muse is most willing to fight another muse? Oh, definitely Kary. (She won't fight Dove or Leyla, even if there's a really good reason. And Srentha has this weird power of defusing her. But anyone else, she can easily be provoked to fight on a dime.) Or maybe Evangeline, who will fight anyone at any time for any reason whatsoever?

do your muses get along with each other? Evangeline gets along with nobody. Dove/Srentha/Leyla are all a very tight-knit family, and Kary considers herself Dove's sister and Leyla's aunt. I've thought about what might happen if Lapis met Blue Diamond, but I don’t have the faintest idea of how that'd go? I did start an RP once where Lapis met Dove, and I planned to have them bond over homesickness and purpose-seeking, but then I lost the ehd I had that prewritten on, and never had the heart to try rewriting it. Ryou and Jess kinda exist in their own universe's bubble. (Jess has a whole cast of Pokemon creature muses she very much gets along with, though~)

would you ship any of your muses together? who? Dove and Srentha are hella-canon endgame already, that's been decided for like 12 years!

for each muse, is there a character you wish had a blog so you could interact with them? You know, I've never really been one much for wishing like that. I do wish Dove had a stable Raven again, since both of my all-time favorite Raven rpers have left the rp circle... but that's about it, really.

have you ever considered making a multimuse/is it easier having a multimuse? I mean, my Pokemon blog has like 19 muses built into the breeding center... 8F But no, I prefer to keep my drafts, rps, and tag systems for each muse on separate sideblogs. Tumblr's tags break WAY too often to shove them all in one place. (And with a sideblog, I don't have to log in and out every time I want to check for replies!)

which muse is the most problematic towards other muses? Toss-up between Phobia and Evangeline, obviously. Blue Diamond is a reformed Gem, the way I play her. (I don't care what anyone says, THAT'S CANON as HELL too!) But Evangeline actively goes out of her way to hurt and/or sacrifice people to her own ends,

which muse is most likely to make new friends? Probably Leyla, though now that SU has sent out a message across the Gem universe that Gems are welcome on Earth, Lapis could wind up meeting quite a lot of new acquaintances. It's much harder to befriend her, though. Srentha has a lot of charismatic energy too, and he’ll go out and make friends with anyone, given the chance.

which muses’ fandom do you like the best? Ahhh, don't make me CHOOSE like that! ;; Fandom like being a fan of them, or fandom like, liking the other people in the fandom? Because Steven Universe, Teen Titans, and YuGiOh all have incredibly special places in my heart, while having Their Issues amongst the fandom... Pokemon seems to be the best mannered fandom though, especially amidst the RP community.

is there someone playing the same muse/s as you and you really look up to them? Ohgosh, well there's a blog called, I think, melancholeyes?, that plays Blue so well, it's like reading canon scenes. I did see a blog that played a Ryou I respected, but I can't remember their name... and of course Larissa and Pix played great Ravens, but each a different version.

which muse do people send the most asks for? Probably Dove, thanks in large part to Caleb!

which muse is most likely to have kids? Leyla is already Dove's kid, so... 8F

is there a rule that someone keeps breaking for your muses? Not to my knowledge, but my rules aren't strict anyways.

can you sort your muses from weakest to strongest? ...Oh, stars. How am I supposed to sort them? Well, let's try this.

Weakest to strongest in combat (based on their style of choice): Ryou, Leyla, Srentha, Phobia, Evangeline, Jess, Kary, Dove, Lapis, Blue Diamond, Raven. ( * i switched raven and blue diamond around SO many times. both are immensely powerful with god-like abilities, but raven can literally destroy reality itself. so...)

Weakest to strongest by strength of heart and character: Phobia, Evangeline, uh... Kary? Srentha...? Uh... frICK THIS ONE'S HARD. Because they're all so strong in their own ways. Probably Leyla? Next tier is probably Blue, Lapis, and Jess, and Dove, Raven, and Ryou are highest tier.

which muse are you considering deleting? Phobia, and maybe sometimes Blue. (I actually... never got a single RP or follower on Blue. I'm still debating if I really WANT to rp as her, at least on Tumblr, knowing how toxic the fandom can get around the Diamonds...)

most importantly, are you having fun playing each one of your muses? Pretty much! Especially Dove, Srentha, Leyla, and Raven!~ Raven's wit and clipped verbiage can be tricky to for me sometimes, but all it takes is a little tlc on her dialogue, and it doesn't slow down my enjoyment one bit. :} And when I'm in a Pokemon-hyperfocus mood, writing the Pokemon team is ALWAYS a blast! (Especially the Pokemon; their personalities are so dynamic together.) With muses like Lapis and Blue, and even Kary, the mood for their emotionality waxes and wanes, but I don't write for them unless I'm in The Right Frame of Mind to KEEP UP with them, you know? I never push myself in an rp until it's not fun anymore; at least I know where my writing burnout limits are.

Phobia and Evangeline are both sadistic, and when you're a compassionate person, that can be very hard to write out in the painstaking detail of my style. But sometimes my mind just Won't Shut UP about 'Vangie unless I WRITE IT OUT. Which is a good exercise of course, stretching my horizons and all that, and I do love writing the drama and conflict they stir up.

But beyond the momentary discomforts, I'm just so eager to explore their lives and minds and adventures, so yes, I absolutely DO have fun writing for each and every one!
