SKÖLL AND HATI

WHO ARE THEY?

Sköll and Hati, also known as Skól and Hati, are both twin brothers who are wolves in Norse mythology. They are the offspring of the goddess Skadi, who birthed them in vengeance after the murder of her first husband. Sköll and Hati are often depicted as a pair of opposite forces, representing the dichotomy between day and night, light and darkness, and life and death. It is said that if the wolves succeed in catching the sun and the moon, Ragnarok, or the end of the world, will begin.

Hati is the chaser of the moon and is described as being dark and having a flaming tail. Sköll is the chaser of the sun and is described as being bright red in color. The two wolves are said to catch up with their targets once Ragnarok has begun, and bring about the end of the world. In this way, they serve as the symbols of the forces of night and day, light and darkness, life and death.

BASIC INFO:

Appearances: they are said to be massive giant wolves. Sköll is described as all white with yellow glowing eyes, while Hati is described as being black with glowing red eyes. They are often depicted as having sharp fangs and claws and massive jaws filled with hungry teeth. They are said to stalk the sun and moon and to be destined to devour them, thus ushering in the end of the world.

Personalities: Sköll and Hati are often portrayed as having bleak and ominous personalities. They are associated with a gloomy atmosphere and a sense of dread, and they are often depicted as having a ruthless and insatiable hunger. They are forces of chaos and destruction, so they don't often exhibit typical traits like empathy, compassion, or kindness. Instead, they are often portray as being cold and uncaring, with little regard for anything but their own purposes and desires. This could manifest as being sadistic or cruel, being motivated by a desire to tear down and destroy.

misc greaser backstory headcanons because i'm bored and it's time for this fandom to hear my lukewarm hot takes <ब₍₍( ˃̗εू˂ )₎₎<ब

johnny and lola's fatal relationship flaws are learned from their respective sets of parents.

johnny grew up witnessing his parents' tumultuous marriage and often felt like he was walking on eggshells due to his father's possessiveness and short fuse. mrs. vincent stayed, no matter how much her husband's fits of rage scared her because she felt she had a duty to her family. her one silver lining was that at least he never laid a hand on her (no, he'd only punch the walls near her or throw dinnerware– that's not abuse, is it? was just one of the numerous feeble defenses johnny would hear from his mom.) (the one time she DID defend herself, the situation escalated and eventually landed both of johnny's parents in prison. because he was already 18 when this happened, social services did not get involved.)

lola's father cheated on her mom and as a result, she's never had any stable relationships beyond short-lived flings. ms. lombardi consequently passed her bitterness about the affair and the divorce onto her daughter; it didn't help that lola's father stopped giving a shit about her after he married his affair partner and started a family with her. witnessing her family breaking apart, her mother wrecking her life with numerous toxic flings, and the father she used to love so dearly doting on his son with his new wife had not only resulted in non-committal tendencies, but also a dislike of men that borders on misandry.

(on that, i feel like a case can be made that lola's a closeted lesbian with MAD comphet, but that's a story for another time.)

peanut's home life is nearly similar to johnny's, but what sets them apart is the fact that peanut's father– alongside his verbal abuse– outright beats him; that's where his intense napoleon complex stems from. initially, his mother was the victim of his father's rage, but the older peanut grew, the more he fought back for her. consequently, at some point, he essentially became his father's outlet for his rage. he hates losing fights, being made to feel small and weak, because, well– if he can't fight back, who'll be there to protect his mom?

norton's family is relatively more normal and maybe even more stable than the rest of his clique's, but they're– unsurprisingly– not without their own issues. i feel like most of the conflict within the williams' family stems from the clashing ideals between norton and his dad; norton's a guy who was radicalized at a young age (since he's quite well-read), and his father– a police officer– represents the authority and the system he hates so much. becoming a greaser was not only teenage rebellion, but also a way to show that he outright rejects what his father believes in; he resents him for being a sellout. officer williams is aware of this.

vance is the only son among a brood of daughters. the second eldest child, he shares a close bond with his younger sisters, but a hesitant, nearly strained relationship with his older sister. their father is absent, and their mother overworked, so both of them are parentified– even if ms. medici didn't intend for that to happen. vance's never been shy about his bisexuality, and the unorthodox way he expresses his masculinity is a source of contention for his sister. she resents how carefree he is, how arbitrary his priorities are (like his obsession with his appearance, his social standing amongst the greasers, and his various romances in bullworth). their father couldn't be the man of the house, and now vance can't even fill in that role if he tried.

as implied by some of his voicelines, hal's fatness is (not so) secretly a major source of insecurities for him. his mother truly tries to be as supportive as she can be, but his father– perhaps another alumni of bullworth, maybe even a former jock?– is especially harsh on him, his "tough love" bordering on outright verbal abuse. hal was initially sent to bullworth in order to "whip him into shape" (both figuratively and literally), and his dad hit the roof when he found out that hal decided to join the greasers instead of getting into something "worthwhile". he tries to be as confident as he's making himself seem, though his dad's comments about his body and his hobbies and his friends cut deep.

ricky was essentially raised by his older brother (a former greaser himself). their parents have never been in the picture, and they were initially raised by their hyperreligious, paranoid grandmother before ricky's brother had enough– he moved out at 18 and took ricky with him. he had to take numerous odd jobs just to support them, ultimately dropping out of his last year in bullworth and forgoing college in favor of working. despite their similar personalities and interests, this is why they often clash– ricky's brother had to sacrifice his schooling for him, and he wants nothing more than for ricky to be responsible and successful. to be the opposite of who he was.

on the other hand, lucky essentially raised his younger siblings (a sister and a brother). his mom walked out on his family when he was still a kid; consequently, his dad fell into a deep depression, was laid off from his job, and turned to alcohol and gambling. lucky had to step up to the plate and be the man of the house in his stead. he's not quite sure who he resents more: his mom, for walking out; his dad, for taking away his remaining childhood; or the system, for fucking them all up in the first place.

lefty is a latch-key kid. both of his parents may be present in his life, but it's as if they're not all that interested in their son– he doesn't quite know why, but there's the implication that he's an accident; one that forced them to have a shotgun marriage despite not being in love anymore. they provide the bare minimum for him, but not much beyond that; whether its gifts or affection. he'll claim he's given up on trying to win their love a long time ago, but he can't deny that with every new scar he earns, he wishes they'd notice. at least once. (with concern or anger, it doesn't matter anymore.)

#tldr the greasers are bonded not only by their mutual interests but also by their tumultuous home lives #i think thats part of why theyre so loyal to each other. the group isnt perfect dont get me wrong #but no one else understands them like they do for each other yknow? #though i think this blind loyalty also often alienates lola from the rest of them #like she understands them to a degree but shes all too aware the boys dont view her on an equal level with them #she's kind of a special case imo. she isnt as loyal to her group as the rest of them but she knows theyre all she has in bullworth #(thats a story for another time tho) #but sigh. i love her. sorry. my misunderstood pookie #anyways ill do the jocks soon 💪 #tw abuse #tw implied homophobia/biphobia #long post #bully cce #bully scholarship edition #johnny vincent #lola lombardi #peanut romano #etc im not tagging all of them lmao

🌱 - Do they have a green thumb or are they a plant killer?

🌙 - What’s their sleep schedule like?

💘 - What do they find attractive about their partner(s)?

// for Seraph!

Misc. Ask Meme || Accepting! @ofthescatteredstars

🌱 - Do they have a green thumb or are they a plant killer?

-Seraph, unsurprisingly, has something of a green thumb. Though given that he spent a lot of time in the gardens of Pharasma or at his cloister, he learned how to care for plants pretty well. He often grew flowers for his hobby of flower pressing, and wishes that he had time for the hobby again. Post-campaign, Seraph probably spends a lot of time with the Lord of Spring to catch up on lost time in terms of gardening, and as a way to bond with his grandmother.

🌙 - What’s their sleep schedule like?

-Chaotic. Seraph can either be stricken with sleeping like an absolute rock, or he can't sleep at all. Sometimes, especially when his memories were beginning to return, he didn't want to sleep due to the dreams he had. During his watcher training and a little bit after coming back, he slept much more than he used to. Likely, it was his body reacclimating to being in the mortal realm and back to a regular passage of time. Nowadays, he doesn't sleep well by himself and typically cuddles up to Soup or Sino in order to get restful sleep.

💘 - What do they find attractive about their partner(s)?

-For Soup, physical wise, he likes how Soup's legs and clothing fits on him. There's also some obvious attraction to his voice as well. Personality wise, Seraph does like that Soup was the start of helping him get out of his shell, even if he does wish he spent more time actually getting to know Soup. That being said, he still loves him, he's just a lot more willing to express when he's upset now. Granted, that's because being with Soup has helped him learn how to express himself more. Still, if there's anyone he will actively express jealously over, it's Soup, and he will be very keen on letting it be known that he's spoken for.

With Sino, Seraph arguably has the stronger emotional connection with them. There's physical attraction, obviously, but it's very clear that Seraph has told Sino a lot more of what goes on in his mind than Soup. Not to mention, I would argue Sino is an example of something of a more traditional attraction? Namely, Seraph becoming very aware of his feelings for them after learning how to dance from them. Notably, Seraph's a lot more shy with them physically, but still seeks out Sino's attention and if Soup isn't there, he'll cuddle up to Sino instead or rest his head in her lap.

[wonda-fhr]

and for Lia: 👪(the farm i guess?) 🎁💖? owo

Finally I translated the answers for the Misc Ask Meme :) Thanks for your ask. 💕

For Lia:

👪- What’s their relationship with their parents like?

The farm? Uhh, there's no relationship there, just hate. She definitely doesn't see anyone there as a parent. Not even in the sense of being "created" by someone. Some handlers will definitely not survive a re-encounter with her. She still has a soft spot for some Re Genes, which would probably be considered as a family bond.

🎁- How do they feel about their birthday/birthdays in general?

The whole birthday tradition reminds her too much of not really being born. In general, Lia doesn't like to be celebrated. She feels flattered when someone thinks of her, but flaunting it with big gifts and parties goes too far for her.

💖- How and how often do they try to impress their partner(s)? How and how often do their partner(s) impress them?

She often impresses her partners, but not on purpose. Lia does what she thinks is right, gives little thought to how she appears to others, and often impresses with that very determination. Intentionally trying to impress her partner would mean pretending to get their attention or affection, which borders on begging, and that's going too far.

It is similar in reverse. She hates it when someone is obviously trying to impress her. But she is very impressed by anyone who goes a little beyond themselves. Danny always manages to impress her because she often underestimates him.

@zexalweek​

One of the things I was most disappointed by was how she was given little thought and how her feelings for Kaito were obviously shoehorned into the story by writers who had no idea what to actually do with a female character. After that, she’s just there alongside Nistro.

Aside from that, her design was alright. That’s it, I have nothing to say on it. She played her role and that’s the extent of it.

When I decided to do a design for Dextra, I almost immediately knew what route I wanted to go with her. She just always had this vibe like she’d fit perfectly in spy/espionage action. Idk she just has the vibe lol. But anyway, I looked at characters like Black widow and even Shinobu from demon slayer. 

As for characterization, I opted to mostly keep her the same as she is in canon. However, this time she doesnt have her sad crush on kaito that didn't go anywhere. She has a serious poker face and masks her true feelings pretty well, she does think of what it’d be like to have a normal life for once. As for how is works, she opts for quick attacks and poison. Her relationship with Kaito in this redesign is more along the lines of close friends who are trauma bonded from whatever Heartland put them through. 

She works alongside her partner Nistro to make sure things are moving smoothly for Heartland and Faker, but were he is more upfront, she attacks discreetly and with haste. She is loyal to heartland to a certain extent, but if there were an opportunity to escape, she might consider taking it. Maybe there’s a reason she entered the WDC...

[moonlit-void-to-the-far-unknown]

Go on, what are your thoughts about the bear? :)

I’m so glad you asked friend! Get ready I have feelings! Gonna be a read more cause it’s long

-settle in kids moon has a lot to discuss- we’ll start with characters:

Richie sucks, always. Why does he have to be a lil bitch about EVERYTHING like bro, we get it, your like 45, divorced, wife took the kid, your best friend blew his brains out, you hate change like the boomer you are. But like bro, taking it out on Carmy who didn’t ask to be given the restaurant in the first place? Not gonna fix it. Taking it out on Sydney, a young chef just doing her best? Doesn’t fix anything. You crying like a bitch? Doesn’t help. Selling coke? Out of the alley? Behind the restaurant? Sorry are you saying that’s the only way the beef made it through covid? Was…being a back door drug den? Okay. Okay. Yeah no one saw Micheal was a drug addict when that was his solution to fix things?

Tina, grew on me, she did, I like her, would trust her to cook everything. Actual tia of the restaurant and if anyone hurt her kitchen family you know she would be kicking peoples ass. Did irk me a bit at the start but like she learned and grew. Something A LOT OF OTHERS COULD LEARN FROM RICHIE! She even said, ‘I’ve learned more in the last two months then I ever did before’ like. Micheal was great apparently but, was he really? Tina is just love her, trust her with all my food and my life.

Ebras, I like him. He’s cool. Didn’t learn much about him but like 10/10 comic relief when we need it.

Fak, played beautifully by Matty matthaison, an actual chef and one of the producers and chef like directors of the show like Jeremy Allen white said ‘I told Matty or coco to like stop a scene if I did anything that wouldn’t be done in a real chef kitchen’ so the fact he’s playing a Jack of all trades repair man who wants to be a cook, is 10/10, he’s just another comic relief we need. I love him

Misc. crew: I like them. Didn’t learn much about them but they are key to being background and immersive elements.

Sugar, I want to learn more about her but so far standard big sister, bit over bearing in a way that I get. And also the fact her and Carmy are the ‘let’s fight to express emotions’ type of siblings is just -chefs kiss-

Pete, a bitch. Like look at him.

Cicero, so he def works in like shady shit right? Mob? Mafia? Drug dealing? Like that’s what they were like putting out right? But also why did he lend 300k to Michael? Like he knew something wasn’t right like come on. Come oooonnnn.

NOW! MY BABIES, MY PRIDE AND JOYS.

Sydney, an angel sent on high to help Carmy in the perfect way. Without babying him and not taking any shit. She is just, I would die for her, I would kill for her. Also she has my patience level of ‘but like why can’t I do it now? Like why can’t I just do it and show you it works?’ Like me and her I get it. Just the perfect partner for Carmy, like I ship her and Marcus so hard.

Marcus, an angel of a man, I would die to try his desserts, he just, he’s friend shaped guys, he’s friend shaped. Him and Sydney would be the like cutest couple. Like, I can’t explain it. Also him wanting to learn and be able to do what Carmy did with desserts like, Marcus is just I love him so much. Okay he’s the calm comfort the show needs. Also babes when the machine starts smoking? Turn it off, that’s all you can do. Also his and Carmys bonding moment like “you blew a fuse I almost burned down a restaurant the night after I was food and wines number 1, so shit happens. And you’ll fuck up again it’s fine”

CARMY ‘MY BABY’ BERZATTO, needs therapy, like extreme therapy. Needs to understand that how he was taught was abuse, the chefs he worked under, abused him and every other staff member, that’s not what he needs to keep teaching. And hopefully he realised that when Sydney and Marcus walked out because after a point you can only scream at someone so much. Now, man is just this beautiful mix of trying his best, and trying to work and fix everything around him but not being able to understand why his brother was doing the things he was and what happened in the years before that shifted everything. The fact he only went to culinary school and became one of the best of the best was to say ‘fuck you I can do what you do but a million times better in the eyes of the world’ like, Carmy is someone who has a system that he needs to keep his brain sane, but he also won’t accept anyone else trying to help fix and change that system to work and flow better as Sydney said like ‘I told you this would t work, you didn’t listen, it blew up in my face because you left’ like Carmy knows he can make the beef now the bear into something, amazing. But he just doesn’t have the tools to do it. Tools Sydney has inside her but doesn’t want to wait and slowly bring them out because as her old bosses said ‘your incredibly impatient and very green’ like. Ugh I love them.

Now over all, amazing show my god it’s fast paced and quick cut, and it shows what it needs to get the point across, it gives you enough in a scene for you to get the story with out it being spoon fed to you. You don’t need someone to say “Carmy it’s been 2 months since we started this system it’s not working” because it gave you the story beats that you need to understand time is passing by. Like the first episode Richie says carmys been in charge for 2 weeks and everything’s going to hell. So you get that time has passed, then it’s an offhand of ‘4 months ago Michael shot himself’ so you get the timeline but not in a spoon feed you way.

The show is good. It’s amazing. I can not wait for season 2. Where we see Carmy and Sydney make the bear into, something amazing. Or start to. Where Sydney starts learning patience, where Carmy maybe opens up more and realises the ways he and Sydney were abused and beat down in a kitchen doesn’t need to be the way things work in the bear.

I just. I can’t explain how much I love Carmy enough. Or Sydney or the whole show it’s. Good.

Side Characters: Misc

Aly, Iris, and Jonah

Alyssa “Aly” (picrew)

Aly was childhood best friends with Gram and Lucan. They grew up in the orphanage together and frequently got into trouble together. Aly was the instigator of their shenanigans as often as Gram was, and they always managed to pull Lucan into their plans.

Gram and Aly eventually developed feelings for each other and started dating. After Gram joined the Military they left the orphanage together and got married.

Aly started experiencing some health issues after manifesting as a manipulator in her teens. After he takes a job at a Military research facility, Lucan convinces her to come to the facility so he can run some tests. He says he’s specifically researching abilities and associated health problems. Gram and Aly are hesitant. Everyone knows the rumors about the research facilities, but they Lucan convinces them.

After her initial test, other tests are performed on Aly by other researchers. These tests make her really sick. After returning home she becomes ill and doesn’t recover. Her death devastates Gram and convinces Lucan to leave the research facility.

Iris (picrew)

Iris is Thea and Kai’s mother. She grew up in the same orphanage as Gram, Aly, and Lucan.

She suffered from health problems from an early age. Her family didn’t have the resources to deal with it, so they took her to the orphanage in the city. She only has vague memories of her family and considers the orphanage her home and the other kids there her family. As she got older she started helping to take care of the younger kids in the orphanage. They all thought of her as their big sister and they loved listening to her stories. She often covered for them to keep them out of trouble, but also often convinced them to listen to Miss Margaret.

After Lucan was adopted by the Avery family, they hired her to help him feel more comfortable during the transition. She moved in with them temporarily and attended social functions and events with them. She met Nolan at one of these events. She was one of the only girls around his age not trying to get his attention, and that got his attention. They eventually started seeing each other in secret and she ended up getting pregnant. His family found out and put pressure on her to end their relationship. With help from Margaret, she moved to a small town and a got job at the local inn. This is where she meets Jonah.

Pregnancy was hard on her already weak constitution. After Kai was born, her health problems got worse. She became tired very easily and suffered from a lot of chronic pain. This worsened again after Thea was born. Her health prevented her from being very active so she bonded with her children mostly by telling them stories. She couldn’t do a lot to teach Thea to use her abilities. She taught her to control her channeling and manipulation but keeping leaves floating (not an easy exercise but one that Iris could oversee while resting).

Iris continued to grow weaker and by the time Thea was in her early teens she was mostly bedridden. She passed away when Thea was 16.

Jonah (picrew)

Jonah is working as a cook at the inn in his hometown when a girl moves into the inn alone and starts working as a dishwasher in the kitchen. She doesn’t talk to him much, in spite of his best efforts, but he doesn’t miss the little smiles at his jokes—even when she’s clearly trying to hide them.

Jonah makes it his personal challenge to get her to smile and talk as much as he can. The more he does the more interested in her he becomes.

Then the day comes when she can no longer hide the fact that she’s pregnant. It’s a bit of a shock to Jonah, as well as to everyone in the town. Iris then becomes more closed off, and Jonah isn’t sure how he should react. At this point he’s confident he likes her as more than just a friend, but he does’t know anything about her history or if she has a partner she is waiting for.

He decides that regardless of her situation, he can be her friend and support her. The townspeople gossip about her and say rude things to her. Jonah stands up for her and comforts her when it gets to be too much. Iris starts to open up to him again and tells him about her history. Jonah realizes that he loves her and wants to spend his life with her, but also recognizes that opening up to a new relationship might be hard for her. He takes thing slow and waits until she is ready.

Jonah loves cooking and loves working in the inn, but as Iris’s health declines he pulls back the number of hours he works so that he can take care of her and the kids. When Kai is old enough, he begins taking him to work with him sometimes, hoping he can pass on his love of food and cooking. Kai isn’t very interested. He has fond memories of watching his dad cook, and especially of the times both of his parents cooked together, but he’s not interested in learning cooking himself. He’s much more interested in the goings on in the main hall of the inn. He likes watching all the people come and go. Eventually he becomes a server at the inn, and loves the social aspect of it. Thea, on the other hand, enjoys cooking with her dad at home.

Margaret and Morgan

Margaret (picrew)

Margaret is the matron of the orphanage where Iris, Gram, Lucan, and Aly grew up. She has a practical and serious personality, but considers all the kids in the orphanage to be her kids and will fight anyone who tries to hurt them.

Morgan Avery (picrew)

Lucan’s adopted father and one of the patrons who funds the orphanage. He runs a chain of hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies and provides medical care for the orphanage as well. After he and his wife realize they can’t have children, they decide to adopt. After visiting several times, and learning that Lucan has an interest in medicine, they decide to adopt him. They hire Iris to live with them temporarily to help Lucan feel more comfortable while he is adjusting to his new life.

Morgan is very kind and concerned with the well-being of others. He’s one of those people that exudes both wisdom and compassion. He doesn’t express his opinions often, but when he does, he is careful to state them in non-offensive but convincing ways. Even people who disagree with him are inclined to listen and consider his statements seriously. As a father he tries to guide Lucan’s decisions, without forcing him.

Kay

(picrew)

A server at the tavern in Karza. They are outgoing and flirtatious while always keeping an ear out for news and information. They are observant and quick to pick up on people’s personality quirks. They have fun giving Nix a hard time, flirting with him because they think it’s cute and hilarious the way he tries to hide being flustered by acting grumpy. They always have a bit of information to pass on to Gram—in exchange for an extra big tip, of course.

Good Dogma Info (Part 1?)

As I'm working on the fic, I kinda realized that some specifics aren't going to be talked about directly. I mean I could throw them in there, but Chapter 4 alone is gonna be so dialogue heavy that adding character bios and stuff would just ruin it all. So, for anyone who's curious or if I feel like looking back on stuff, I'm gonna post some character info/lore dumps.

Hopefully I can find time to do some drawing so I can get certain details out. Especially in the case of these characters. They probably have the most cosmetic changes.

The Stygian Triplets

First a bit of info from Dogma: In the movie, they work for Azrael, and implied to be demons. They might be connected with flies, but not much else is known about them. They're mute, deadpan, and look like teens.

Now the changes! For starters, they have names now: Nike, Bia, and Zelus. These are names they adopted soon after the Plagues. As far as they know, they didn't really have names when they were angels. Their pronouns are they/them. Partially this is because they rarely stray from each other, and how things were when they were angels. They have lives separate from each other, but if they had to chose between those lives and each other, they'd chose each other in a heartbeat. The triplets were Putti before the Great War. In this AU, a Putto was considered manual labor. They weren't given much say in projects or their conditions. In fact, a lot of angels generally ignored them. Most of them looked very similar: smaller/youthful appearance with smaller wings and unique hair. Literally the typical cupid stereotype. They were curious, eager to talk, and overly affectionate if left to their own devices. Many of them joined Lucifer's side or Azrael's side in the Great War. Unfortunately many of them died or were severely injured in the process. The Triplets were among those that joined Azrael. They lost a lot in the War. Currently, they are secretaries/data collectors for Azrael's department, but they still reap souls when they're needed. They specialize in deaths related to children and families because they look younger than others. They are mute and deadpan still, but Azrael can understand them without trouble. They know sign language. Bia: They act as a bridge between the death department and the rest of Heaven when Azrael is occupied. Specifically, they work with lower levels of angels as the Archangels tend to ignore them. While they do collect and manage records, they also have the task of subtly trying to convince angels to side with the death angels in the end times. They lost an arm in the Great War and wears a prosthetic to help with day to day tasks. Because they work mainly in Heaven, they adhere a little closer to heavenly fashion. Nike: They work closest with Azrael, having expressed zero desire to work with Heaven or Hell directly in comparison to their siblings. So, they handle data surrounding the judgement of souls (i.e. court reports). They lost their eyes in the Great War and have a pretty severe scar across their face. Typically, they either hide it with a mask/glasses and/or have eyes painted onto their face to avoid humans panicking. They consider the eye painting a bonding moment with their peers. Zelus: They assist in diplomacy between Azrael and Hell. While they still have work to do in Hell (mostly as a scrivener notary), Azrael assigned them this position so they could spend time with their partner. (Said partner isn't gonna show up in Good Dogma, so she's gonna be another post). Of the three, they are the most absent from the office. Azrael, however, thinks their position is just as important. They're the only triplet that didn't lose a body part in the War, and they feel some guilt from that.

Misc Details:

Putti have hairstyles with various cowlicks or protruding hair. In fact, in this AU, the Erics were Putti before the Great War. That should give an idea of what I mean. Nike and Zelus specifically have cowlicks that look similar to moth antennae. Bia keeps their hair back to fit in with angelic fashion.

Their clothes are similar to angelic cleric fashion, but modified to fit their respective roles. Bia's looks a lot like Muriel's. Zelus' is more punk/skaterboy. Nike's is similar to Bia's, but has some old fashioned eccentricities to mirror Azrael's suit. Their clothes are grey with muted colors when specifically working with Azrael.

#good omens #dogma #good dogma #good omens au #au idea #Might be edited later #With art probably if I can figure out a style for this story... #Stygian triplets #I don't think I'll put their names in the tags #that would confuse so many people

for David: 🧑‍🦰💘🍳? 👀

For the Misc Ask Meme :) Thanks for your questions. 💕 For David: 🧒- Have they ever dyed their hair? Ever cut it themself?

David has never dyed his hair before. In fact, he thought about it when the first gray one appeared, but as long as Ric doesn't tease him about it, he won't do it. He has cut it himself many times. He's quick to reach for the scissors when a particular curl won't tame and keeps bothering him. This always leads to discussions with his loved ones because his curls are loved more by everyone else than by himself.

💘- What do they find attractive about their partner(s)?

He would say that it is not about attractiveness, but about inner values. That is true, but a toned body, nice abs and dark chest hair never fail to impress. But it is neither looks nor character that David is most attracted to, it is the scent. Nothing is more attractive to him than the scent and taste of his partner.

🍳- How well can they cook?

Pretty good. In his Siedestep days he didn't care much for cooking, but he appreciated and enjoyed good food. It impressed him how well Ric could cook and the time they spent together in the kitchen was very precious to him. He felt very lonely after HB and especially missed those bonding moments. After a while he started to learn to cook by himself. He always had Ric with him in his mind, felt close to him, and the loneliness could be pushed back a bit. He heard him laugh when he failed to crack an egg with one hand, or when the vegetables fell out of the pan as he tried to toss them. He imagined how impressed he would be to see him improve. It wasn't the good food or the improving skills that spurred him on, it was the brief moments during cooking when his mind managed to dream itself into a happy time.

raven vs. misc. symbols. prompts taken from here.

what is your muse like when they're in love? what does your muse find attractive in someone else? what are their love languages? how do they show affection? do they show any distinct signs that they're in love?

this depends on the circumstances ( if the feelings are reciprocated ) but raven being in love is usually very comfortable. kinda like the feeling you get when you’re sipping hot coco on a cold day, or the feeling of being wrapped in bed with your blanket on a very chilly night. she's very happy. warm. not to imply that she's super sad if the feelings are not returned. she can handle it, but obviously we would want our crushes to like us back.

as far as what she finds attractive in a potential partner.

one of the first things for her, like a lot of my other muses, is a sense of humor.

the second is shared values and interests/mutual respect.

toss confidence, passion and personality into the mix, and she's definitely got a crush going.

i can't remember if i've talked about her love languages before, but i see it as a combination of acts of service, words of affirmation, quality time, and a sprinkle of physical touch.

as for how she'll show affection. she's a very detail oriented person, so if her partner has a favorite something ( tv show, book, film , beverage, hobby ) she'll remember it and more than likely bring it up as something that they can do together. this works for platonic bonds as well.

another thing is, she can be very physically affectionate with partners once she's been with them for a little bit. lots of hugging / little touches / handholding / cuddling, etc etc. generally she's very ' i wanna be near you. '

she's also a ' this reminded me of you ' person so if she sees something that makes her think of her partner ( be it clothing/jewelry/something else that she thinks they would like she'll grab it. )

lmao there are definitely signs if she's into someone, yeah. this is something that is most apparent with aspen's william / @spring-lxcked ( surprising no one, i'm sure ) but can/does work as a pretty universal thing as well. a huge tell is if she starts giving your muse petnames. specific ones that she'll really only use for the other person. this is very much a thing with platonic relationships too, mind you ( this is her way of designating you special in either context ) but if it's accompanied by lots of smiling/laughing/blushing, then uh. i got news.

another sign is just her like. starting to bring up the other person in conversation a bit more. girl also hums. a lot ??? she's not subtle. this gets funnier if you ask her about it in early stages and she'll be like 'pfft, i have no idea what you're talking about.' listen, she's good at picking up other people's vibes. not always great at understanding her own lmao.

what would your muse wear to a formal event? do they dress more modestly, or do they go all out?

raven reads as an 'elegant with a little bit of sparkle' kind of girl to me. and she mostly gravitates to silk for formal gatherings. so a lot of this. or this. oh and this. if she has to go to an event, she will go and she will look fantastic doing it. tysm for your time.

#𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬 — raven roth. #this took me. way longer than it should have lmao. #anyway take raven out to an event so she can be the Prettiest there thanks 😊

⚔️ Misc Asks Meme // ACCEPTING ⚔️

// Savage's preferences for partners is a complicated subject that I can divide (very) roughly into two groups: instilled and inferred. And they are exactly what they say on the tin babeyyyy

// Instilled preferences would be the ones that were hammered into him during his time as a Nightbrother. It's... limited, to say the least. Because on Dathomir, the choice on who to take as a mate was not up to him. He was on the opposite end of that rope. But that still created something of a rough template of what to desire in his mind. Both for males and females. For females, it's someone on the taller side. Lean, lithe, graceful, enduring, flexible, agile. Large eyes with pale colors. Able to handle weapons easily. Someone smart. Doesn't need to be kind but that's a bonus. The bar is basically in hell. For men, it's a bit more comprehensive. Tall, broad, muscular, powerful, good provider, large horns, bright eyes, obedient, agile, resilient. Able to take a beating and get back up. Able to handle multiple kinds of weapons with proficiency. Loyal as hell. Willing to die for him. The bar is unreachable king, you gotta lower your standards a little.

// Inferred preferences are exactly what they sound like - preferences he's developed outside of Dathomir. There's not much to be said about this because Savage's goal post-Dathomir has never really been to develop his own taste in partners and seek out the perfect one. It's been to serve and protect his remaining family - namely Maul. To be a good, loyal apprentice, mastering the ways of the Dark Side or helping him commit war crimes. Though even still, his time away from home and meeting others has sort of led to him shifting his tastes. Particularly, on Mandalore. He thought Satine was pretty. But he definitely had eyes for Bo-Katan. She ticked a lot of his boxes. Tall, enduring, flexible, agile. She didn't have Satine's grace and she wasn't as slim as a witch, but tbh, he liked the fact she carried a lot more muscle. He liked watching her fight and contemplated trying to court her several times. So suffice to say, he likes muscles. But ultimately, his tastes aren't developed too far beyond that because he has never really developed any bonds beyond his canon relationships that would shift his perspective of an ideal partner.

// He also had a thing for Pre Vizsla but we’re not gonna talk about that-

#// he is. so sad #ask : is this what you wanted #mutual : all of my best friends #valorums #muse headcanon : i know how people like you end up #about : you’re just a lost cause #( cm : savage opress )
