*clears my throat in a way that means 'power move incoming* all of them. Literally all of the flower symbolism meme
Tumblr media
Bay Wreath - What is your muse’s proudest moment/accomplishment?Getting his doctorate at age twenty.Begonia - Is your muse prone to ‘flights of fancy’, or are they more down-to-earth?Sober: down-to-earth. Drunk: flights of fancy.Bellflower - Who does your muse love?In the main ‘verse, @thenamesallison​. All other ‘verses (except spin-offs of the main ‘verse) are up for grabs.Bells of Ireland - Is your muse lucky?He does’t believe in luck. He believes in the inherent chaos of the universe that just sometimes happens to spin out in his favor.Bird’s-foot Trefoil - How far would your muse go for revenge? What level of offense warrants retaliation, in your muse’s opinion?Absolutely not far at all. He’s not retaliatory, not a fighter. Except in prank wars. There are no friends in prank wars. Bird of Paradise Flower - Does your muse have a good grasp of the bigger picture, or do they have a more narrow perspective on things?He has trouble with the middle picture. As a scientist, he has to be able to focus on the little details, and he also has to be able to see the larger systems at play. It’s the stuff in between that tends to get lost. Box - How much has your muse changed throughout their life? What sort of inner demons have they overcome?Oh boy has he changed. While the core of who he is hasn’t—he is still soft and kind and emotional and funny and deeply committed to using his particular skill set to make the world a better place—he has lost some of his naivete and can be quicker to despair. Of course, he is now more conscientious about entering into relationships, after his first long-term relationship became horribly abusive, and now that he has learned about who and what Hydra is, he finds it far more difficult to trust. Borage - How courageous is your muse in general? What limits do they have to their courage? Are there any situations that will give them more courage than they normally would have?He is courageous in the small ways. He’s not going to be the first to launch himself at Thanos (why would he, he weighs like a buck fifty soaking wet), but he’s going to tell a douche to back off a clearly uninterested woman in a bar. He’s going to call out a coworker for a racist joke. He’s going to tell his truth even when it’s really fucking scary. He always finds it easier to defend other than to defend himself, but he also thinks that he’s not always worth defending, so there’s that. Broom - How well do they take compliments?He’s pretty good about it. He’s not an idiot; he knows he’s ridiculously smart, and that he’s often going to be the first person in the room to come up with the solution to the problem. However, he is aggressive about make sure credit is given where its due, and if someone has done work that he is being praised for, he’s going to set the record straight. Bulrush - Is your muse an aggressive person? What situations might bring out more aggression in them than normal?*Captain Holt voice* This bitch?Bumblebee Orchid - Is your muse good at figuring out the inner workings of a machine if they take it apart?Mechanics aren’t exactly his jam. Like, if he were to pop open the hood of a car, he’s as likely to fix the problem as he is to blow the entire vehicle up. He has gotten good at fixing the mass spectrometer at work, though, because it breaks like all the fucking time. Buttercup - Does your muse come from a wealthy family? How wealthy is your muse on their own?The Coopers are fairly wealthy. Not Tony Stark-level wealthy, but Daniel always went to private schools and received the best education. Once he struck out on his own, though, he never took his father’s money, and instead made a comfortable middle-class living on his own. Cabbage - Does your muse know how to turn a profit if given the opportunity?Probably not. He’s never really had a reason to, and as a scientist, he’s never been particularly entrepreneurial. Camellia Japonica - What does your muse excel at, and are they aware of/proud of these skills?He is good at a lot of things. Not only does he have an exceptional intellect, but he is also a talented musician and a fluent Italian speaker. He picks up skills fairly naturally. He’s aware of this, but doesn’t feel particularly proud or not-proud of it. It’s just a part of who he is, and he tries not to talk about it so as not to seem like a massive douche.Campanula - What is your muse grateful for in life?In all ‘verses, his grandmother, his dog, his father (some days), his best friends. In the main ‘verse, Ally. Canterbury Bells - Who is your muse grateful for being in their life?Oh well I answered the last one like this one so...ditto.Carnation - What sets your muse apart from their peers, in your opinion?The field of science is incredibly competitive. Competition for grants, positions, publication rights, discoveries—there’s always someone else looking to do what you’re doing, and to do it better than you. Daniel isn’t blind to this reality, and he plays the game as much as he has to, but he always, always prioritizes the work that is going to do the most good over the work that is going to make the best journal article or win the best grant. He wants to be able to see substantive changes being made in the world around him as a direct result of his work, even if he means he has to find funding from unusual sources to do it. Celandine - What is your muse looking forward to? Alternately, what are some examples of events in your muse’s future that will bring them joy?In the main ‘verse, the upcoming birth of his first child. (In the future, there will be more children.) In other ‘verses, he’s looking forward to the day when the stain of Hydra in his past won’t affect his present or future. Cherry Blossom - Does your muse do well in school?He graduated high school at 14 and had a Ph.D. at 20. So...yes.Chestnut - How important is the concept of virginity to your muse personally? Do they impose this on other people?Daniel thinks the entire concept of virginity is some patriarchal bullshit meant to oppress women. That being said, his own virginity was lost in a fairly traumatic way, and that’s something that is always in the back of his mind. Whenever he is in the position to take someone else’s virginity, he’s pretty paranoid about doing it right. China Aster - Would your muse be comfortable with a polyamorous relationship?No.Chrysanthemum - Who considers your muse precious to them? Are they aware of how they feel?Mostly his father and grandmother, as well as his best friends, Connor and Jonathan. He knows how much his grandmother loves him (he’s well aware that he’s her favorite of her three grandchildren, as he is the only child of the daughter she lost), but because of his contentious relationship with his father, he often doubts how much his father really loves him. He probably doesn’t think about the fact that C&J consider him precious, even though to both of him he’s like the stray puppy they’ve adopted and raised. Coreopsis - How good is your muse at keeping a cheery attitude, and how genuine is it?He’s pretty good at being positive. He’s had a lot of shitty things happen to him—his mother died when he was eleven, he was in an abusive relationship, he found out that he had devoted his career to a fascist shadow government—but he has never wavered in his convictions, in his belief that the arc of history bends toward justice, in his hope for the future. He’s not always “cheery,” but he is always optimistic. Cowslip - Does your muse usually exhibit ‘grace under pressure’?More or less. Sometimes he can get snippy when some trials aren’t going well, or when he’s on a journal deadline, but he’s so methodical a person that he’s usually got a plan for getting out of whatever sticky situation he’s in. Clove - Does your muse believe it’s possible for love to endure all hardships?Well, he loved his first boyfriend until he bashed his head in on a kitchen counter, so...no.Clover - Is your muse skillful in any sort of trade? Would they be interested in one?He’s a scientist? I guess? Does that count as a trade?Columbine - Has your muse ever been cheated on?No.Coriander - What are your muse’s views on one-night stands, for themselves or for others?When he first got out of his abusive relationship, he spiraled pretty well out of control and fell into what his best friend Connor calls a “Self-Destructive Slut Phase.” He had a lot of one-night stands, and they acted as a form of self-harm. In general, Daniel doesn’t see anything wrong with one-night stands, as long as everyone’s consenting to them, but for him, they’re an indication that things are not alright emotionally or mentally. Crocus - Did your muse ever experience puppy love as a child?Probably not.Cypress - What is the most impactful loss that your muse has experienced?Again, his mom was murdered when he was eleven.Daffodil - Has your muse ever gotten a chance at a fresh start at life? If not, would they make one if they had the chance?When he found out that Hydra, the organization that his father spent his entire career working for and that he had excitedly worked for himself, was, in fact, evil as fuck, he was heartbroken, and, more importantly, out of work. He had to reinvent himself, reassess what his priorities were, and figure out what to do next.
