get to know me tag

as tagged by @ranchthoughts, @twig-tea, and @troubled-mind! thank u everyone 💜🥰

do you make your bed? literally never!

what's your favourite number? 52. i picked it as a child and i don't remember why, but it pleases me still

what is your job? i'm a humble lil grocery store employee

if you could go back to school, would you? if i could quit my job and go to school and still have my same money, then yes, i should think so, but that's super not happening! it might be nice to have a second degree. i think history would be fun

can you parallel park? yes i can! i used to have to do it every day to park in front of my last house. >:c

a job you had that would surprise people? i think all of my jobs have been either rather generic or right on the nose for what people would expect of me so probably not. i was a nighttime gas station attendant for a fair bit of college, which could be a surprise i guess? everyone always goes ":0 but werent you scared????" and like, no, not most of the time, but sometimes you do it scared yknow

do you think aliens are real? yes, but real in a way that there are many real things i can't see and don't understand (protons, gender, etc)

can you drive a manual car? i could do that once and probably still can, but it's been a long long time since i practiced

what's your guilty pleasure? as far as media goes, i do my very best not to have things like this. if i feel bad about liking it i generally do not like it for very long. i would say the closest is being into kpop, but it's not like i keep that a secret, i just dont really want to engage with kpop fandom, so i dont often post or talk about it publicly. a real guilty pleasure is that i like cherry pepsi too much

tattoos? i have one; he's on my left forearm & he's an abstract little spaceman with a fern for a head. i call him my cosmonaut. i have plans for more but i never have the time or money lately

favorite color? we know this one already surely. 💜

favorite type of music? ohh, i don't like to discriminate hehe. my very favoritest songs usually have fun harmony or funky rhythms, though, and it's best if i can sing along

do you like puzzles? sure! i used to have a book of fairy puzzles when i was a kid that i love dearly even now

any phobias? i am afraid of all bugs, but i can be a grownup about most kinds of them. i Cannot be a grownup about moths or centipedes, which i am terrified of (using those words will cause this post to be filtered for me on tumblr). i try not to kill them if i can avoid it, since it isnt their fault i'm like this, but i,,, i really can't, i'm useless if i see one. when id find centipedes in my room at my last house i wouldnt be able to sleep.

favorite childhood sport? i did tennis all of middle and high school, explicitly because of ryoma echizen prince of tennis lol. i was on varsity! i also figure skated as a kid. both are still fun when i get the chance

do you talk to yourself? oh yes all the time. i keep odd hours so i used to accidentally wake my roommate cause i just kind of absentmindedly chatter abt everything

what movies do you adore? i am not really a movie person if i'm perfectly honest; i don't watch them often as an adult. from my childhood my favorite movies were kenneth branagh much ado about nothing, the princess bride, pokemon 2000, and return of the king

coffee or tea? neither, i dont like most hot drinks. apple cider is ok now and again but i usually drink it cold, and im horribly picky about hot chocolate

first thing you wanted to be growing up? i changed this answer all the time as a kid and i have records of me doing so in my old notebooks lol! answers i know about include "pilot", "author", "dragon", and "eowyn"

this one seems like it might be a little personal so im shy to tag people hehe. go ahead and put me down if you want to do it though; i will be happy to know :)

laughing at how nadia and asra's interactions with the high priestess and magician when they were children were so sweet, and how they clearly grew and learned so much from communing with their patrons

and then there's rowan and the tower, whose interactions were the living embodiment of the "why are you running?!" meme

#rowan lore #poor the tower it's not their fault theyre not good with kids

lev wrote about their wol lysander and the background about his jobs and now im. poking at it a little bit for rowan. under a cut i suppose. (i'll do another post for bronagh and ellone bc this will be long)

rowan and his jobs

so rowan starts off as an arcanist. he'd been interested in the practice since the extended period he lived in the sharlayan colony with his parents as a child. (hilarious side note for lev, it's possible he overheard valerian talking about it) as he got older and began considering his options in life, the interest came back to the front of his mind and he eventually decided to join the guild in limsa when he struck out on his own as an adventurer. he took to it surprisingly well, and chalked it up to really retaining the information about arcanima as a kid. he hoped he might be able to find some way to use arcanima for healing, to follow his initial goal for himself.

eventually when he made it to gridania, he followed his guildmaster's advice and tried a new discipline--lances. a physical, in-your-face kind of combat to be in contrast with the magic he was learning. he was startled to find that he also took to it rather easily, and appreciated gawain (iirc thats the guildmaster's name?) giving out the advice he did. he tried his best to stick to that mostly, and (maybe unpopular opinion) but he actually really disliked folques? the guy was intentionally putting others in pretty real danger, rowan didn't like that in the least.

and then the scions and primals happen. i've tapped it before, but rowan kind of. gave up arcanima at this point. lances were more useful against the primals at first, so he kind of. stopped doing magic. he'd also just gotten into contact with y'mitra at this point, too, and becoming an allagan summoner seemed...dangerous, given his new line of work? he didn't want to make the scions doubt him at all--he liked the security being one of them and didnt want to hurt his position. minfilia didn't seem to notice anything different, and he'd eventually confide in her about it and she gave her blessing for him to pick it back up, but he doesn't really get back to arcanima until after the vault/3.0 because of....reasons.

so anyway. he's a lancer now, primarily. maybe dragoon at this point. he likes alberic well enough, and estinien actually has good intentions, so it could be worse. and rowan actually likes the acrobatics he does as a dragoon. and he gets complimented a lot on how easily he's taking to the skills, and gets some heated looks from other fellow dragoons and it's clear they dislike him for wandering in one day and being a natural. it's disconcerting, so he just. focuses really, really hard on honing his skills so he actually deserves to be that skilled.

eventually, the vault happens. end of heavensward happens. and rowan kind of...breaks down. he regrets having stopped learning arcanima. so he pours his grief into preparing to face nid-stinien and makes sure that there wouldn't be another haurchefant. he keeps beocming a summoner a secret from the scions, because that old worry kicks back in in spite of the evidence to dispute the fear of being kicked out of the scions. he needs to be useful, he needs to save people, because that's what he's done this whole time. saving people from the primal threat, saving them from nidhogg, saving them from whatever might try to destroy them. so he has to be better! he has to be the best.

and he picks up other jobs, too, because i'm going to chew on him actually being the Omni-WOL here. and he realizes now that he picks things up way too easily, and so he throws himself into really paying attention to what he is being taught, and practicing. it's both horrifying and a little bit incredible that he's suddenly so diverse when it comes to combat, both magical and physical. some discipline she likes less (the tanks) and some he likes more, but overall...it's strange. but he trains and trains and trains so he feels worthy of the knack he has. some he trains more than others, but it's all to just...be good enough to destroy whatever might try to harm those he cares about.

(in truth, the reason rowan picks things up easily is bc his azem was also an omni-wol type. venat inspired ikarós with how she had mastered several combat arts, and liked learning from the people they encountered in their duties as azem. so they learned everything they could bc they were insatiable for ways to connect with people bc they had trouble connecting with people verbally or emotionally, and that meant that rowan and others before him just had a pseudo-muscle memory of it all)

and then one day he comes across a woman who says rowan appears to be graceful, and could have the makings of a dancer. it's nothing he hasn't heard before, but when he picks up the chakrams, it's not jealousy he sees in the troupe members--it's excitement. they're all so thrilled that he's picking it up easily, and it's different from other jobs because rowan can always tell that while people have been excited he's learning from them so well, there's always something in their eyes that gives away the jealousy, the disbelief.

but anyway. rowan enjoys learning from troupe falsaim, and finds enjoyment in what he's learning there. for the first time since dragoon and summoner, really.

after he merges with ardbert, he discovers that while he'd set aside the axe for other jobs, he's feeling like he knows so much more than before. part of it is how he remembers ardbert so well, meaning ardbert's soul is still like...slightly intact? i'll write it eventually but ardbert still technically is around, just sometimes dormant. but ardbert's mastery of warrior was added to rowan's arsenal, so to speak. and he was baffled by it, at least a little.

post 5.3, rowan has come to terms with it, and he's not really bothered by how people marvel and kind of despise how quickly he picks up and masters techniques others spend their entire lives learning. he also is happy to focus more on summoning and dancing, since no one else knows those fields and he doesn't have to deal with alisaie being upset that he's "further along" than she is.

post 5.3 rowan finally tells the other scions about being a summoner. it just hadn't been ideal to say something during STB or SHB, so after 5.3 just. worked out. yshtola and graha were the most interested, both for the mechanics of it and its relation to allagan history.

so. fun thoughts. i hadnt ever considered in depth what being an omni-wol could be like so this was fun!! :D

#rowan #rowan lore #being an omni-wol is fun i think #in some ways more than others mostly

sso loading screen text "remember that knowledge is power".... imagine the power if the writers knew the lore of the game

#no offense to the likely 1 sse employee doing their best with actual lore but the way they changed bonnys writing was insane and #all the retconning and random shit like when scott was randomly generic evil man in some josh quest #and the shitty dialect things in general like rowan bc that shit doesnt even translate to other langs well its both badly written and not -#- even a good idea whatsoever for a multilanguage game that isnt just in english from the start. but also its just stereotypical and bad #bonny was written charming and interesting and it was really unnecessary to retcon her into this scottish stereotype dialect #and while sometimes they do bring proper stuff from the existing lore like devils gap and turn it into something... theres still-#- a million things that couldve been done better both in the current writing and the old writing as well! it was always a mess #like the ice wraiths of golden hills or whatever theyre called. the dino valley yeti and witch stuff being hinted but abandoned. etc #but they shouldve gotten someone to *read* all that and take notes and try to turn it into something good and more complete.#rather than getting ppl going lol lets change lots of stuff around it will be great (proceeds to make it worse)#disclaimer idk whose fault all of that is but i blame johan sjöberg for being a bad manager of this games potential and #also the whoevers that have had any power to direct and plan and manage shit at that company

nine people i'd like to get to know better

i've done this tag several times over the last (checks notes) couple years???? and i do appreciate how it basically is different every time hehe. tagged by dearest @icouldhyperfixatehim & @ranchthoughts.

3 ships

these days i am thinking often and fondly of wenzhou, fate couple (myungha/yeowoon.... it's so charming that their portmanteau name is a lil pun), and aylinluna. (and jwds. they are haunting the narrative where the narrative is like my hindbrain. sorry i needed four it is what it is)

First ship

very firmly contestshipping from pokemon. i think we should bring sillier ship names like that back frankly... back in MY day we had endless names of hundreds and hundreds of silly puns that barely anyone could remember and we LIKED it

Last song

i opened my spotify and it is on unknown by nct dream, which was on the playlist liz @hoppipolla made for me while i was in the er (consider this a tag if you like hehe 💜)

Currently reading

i am not reading any real books right now. shame shame yes i know. i'll use this space to recommend some things as usual

one ongoing fic -- "on darkness" by agrazza, an ongoing bg3 dark urge/astarion longfic about the underdark with lots of fun plot. it is fully 265k right now though so i recommend consuming it in bites (lol) as i have

one finished fic -- "goodbye forever (until next time)", written anon though i think their username is in the fic notes now, the boston/nick fic of all time. historically and notably made me cry about fisting. it is ao3 locked so you need an account

one poem -- "invocation" by w.s. merman. it's very short, so here's another; "the waiting" by stephen dunn (my body was an ache, a silence)

Last movie

i really don't watch many movies. i'm going to bend the rules and allow my rewatch of the 2019 danielle brooks much ado about nothing from a couple months ago count for this slot -- go forth and find it on dailymotion but you didnt hear that from me

Currently Craving

functional painkillers. augh sorry to be a downer i do also crave the embrace of the ocean. oh i did it again uh. i crave. i crave firstkhao series gmmtv part two where are you

i will tag in @philologique & liz (body of post. get doubletagged) & @markpakin if u all like. it's not nine people but i can only be So brave you understand 💜

muriel and asra both came out as trans when they were kids/in their early teens but rowan didn't come out until they were in their early-mid twenties so there was at least a solid decade where rowan lamented over being the token cissie in the friend group

#asra was never buying it #let's be real #he can sniff out a baby trans from a mile away #rowan was the last person to realise rowan was trans #rowan lore

"Sorry, I have a boyfriend." "I am your boyfriend, idiot." (A silly RowItto drabble)

hehe i finally felt like writing a little silly something simply because i love Itto, he's so silly. Please be niceys to me im insecure about posting my self insert stuff <3

Content includes mentions of alcohol and Itto being a little too drunk, but in like a silly way.

"Come on, big guy." Rowan tugged his boyfriend's arm gently, trying to lead him away from the tavern table they'd been sitting at all evening. The smooth wood was littered with empty glasses and little bowls once full of snacks. The Angel's Share was about to close for the evening, and Rowan had been ready to go home for several hours now.

"Wait, wait, hang on." Itto stumbled momentarily, causing Rowan to brace himself in case the large oni were to crumple to the floor (as if he could stop Itto from taking him down as well). "I can't go home with you." Itto's voice lilted awkwardly.

Rowan sighed inwardly, pinching the bridge of his nose between his forefinger and thumb as his ruffled tail twitched back and forth underneath his cloak. "Why not?" He tried to keep his tone even and passive, but it was somewhat difficult when Itto had been so scatterbrained for the past few hours.

"You're pretty." Itto drawled, punctuating the statement with a long, low groan that garnered them a few strange looks from the few patrons who had yet to vacate the bar for the night. "And small. And a little bit squishy."

Rowan leaned back and bared fanged teeth for a moment as Itto roughly pinched his freckled cheek, displacing his wire-rimmed glasses. "...Thank you?" Rowan scrunched his face up and gently swiped Itto's hand away from him. "But that doesn't tell me why-"

"But I already have a pretty-small-squishy-cute boyfriend. I don't wanna go home with anyone else." Itto pouted.

Rowan let out a soft chuckle and shook his head. "Itto, come on, quit messing around. Let's get home, alright?" He gave the oni's burly arm another tug, trying to guide him towards the door once again.

"Hey, hey! Hands off, little guy! I'm not goin' home with you! I'm super duper flattered and all, but my boyfriend's gonna be back real soon, we're gonna walk home together!"

"I am your boyfriend, Itto." Rowan furrowed his brow and dug his nails into his partner's warm skin.

"Nuh-uh." Itto pointedly tugged his arm away from the boy and crossed his arms, puffing his chest out and looking away with a pointed 'hmph'

"Dude. You're insane. Come on, or I'm gonna leave without you." Rowan stomped one foot, ears flattened against his head beneath his oversized hat. "Then Diluc is gonna throw you in Cider Lake. Again. Do you want that?"

"Yes." Itto announced, as if that's what he'd wanted all along. "I'm waiting to leave with my boyfriend. And you are not my boyfriend. I'd rather get dumped in the lake than betray my boy that way!"

"Are too." Rowan insisted petulantly, bouncing up and down on his tiptoes as he struggled to wrap his head around this elaborate 'bit' his boyfriend was pulling today.

"Are not!" Itto retorted, with an equal amount of petty childishness in his tone.

"Are too!" Rowan squared himself up and faced up to the oni, though it seemed as if he didn't even notice, since Rowan barely reached his chest at his full height.

"No!" Itto blew a raspberry. "My boyfriend is a little kitty-cat guy." He held up his hands to mimic a set of animal ears on top of his head, and wriggled his behind to simulate a tail. "He's small and red and I love him very much, but he's very shy, and if he comes back and you're standing here talking away to me, he's probably gonna go hide! Now shoo!" He explained himself with a slow, deliberate tone.

Rowan tilted his head to the side as he processed this newfound information, then finally realised what must have happened, and why Itto was acting the way he was. "Itto." He said slowly. "My light. My love." He struggled not to burst into laughter. "There is nary a thought at the base of those pretty horns."

Itto looked vaguely confused for a few moments as he tried to decipher what the boy was telling him. "Huh?" He brushed his fingers over his left horn

Rowan shook his head and pulled his hat off to free his ears, then hiked up his cloak to reveal his tail, which waved back and forth in amusement.

"Oh man, Rowan!" Itto exclaimed, his whole face brightening. "There you are! I thought you were never coming back!" Without hesitation, he scooped Rowan up and gave him a bone-crushing hug.

"I didn't go anywhere, you doofus." Rowan leaned away from Itto, wrapping a shaky hand around one of his horns as he tried to lean in and rub his stubbly face up against Rowan's.

"You would not believe the audacity of this guy I just met." Itto adjusted Rowan in his arms as easily as if he were nothing but a sack of flour. "He would not take no for an answer, it was crazy!"

"Itto..." Rowan sighed and shook his head slowly. "I know, right?" Itto hefted Rowan into a bridal-style position. "But I told him, I have the cutest, prettiest, squishiest boyfriend in all of Teyvat, and I wasn't having any of his sneaky charms!"

Rowan couldn't help but giggle at Itto's chicanery. "Yeah. Right."

"C'mon, don't say it like that. You're the only one for me, babe." Itto announced, loudly enough for the dwindling handful of people in the tavern to hear clearly. He pressed a few scattered kisses against Rowan's face and head. "Now let's get out of here, before mister pushy comes back."

Please don't repost, steal, copy or otherwise plagiarise my writing! This includes posting translations to other sites and using it to teach bots!
