it's not a revelation, no, just our ritual

Thank you @empressofkashyr for the tag 💙 I'm starting a new chain cus the other one was getting so long!

Name: Darya

Pronouns: She/Her

Weapon of choice: Big fan of daggers, OR ☝️ poison. Preferably in a beautiful glass flask or in the form of dried flowers/powder in a luxurious velvet embroidered pouch.

Magic power: Unlimited teleportation to any place of choosing. Many useful uses, right now I'm mostly thinking how great would it be to get to chill with my friends any time I want, or attend any gig ever without queues and tickets, and immediately be taken to my bed. Stressful day? Oh sure, let me just go to Japan real quick, get me an authentic ramen, see some temples.

Dream House: Lately I've been fantasising of living in a nice 2 story stone farmhouse, open living room with french doors to our small back patio, mediterranean style, that would then open to a veg garden, an orchard of orange and peach trees, right on the edge of a forest.

Stone work kitchen, with a second entryway on the side to the the outdoor clothesline and chicken coop. Maybe an italian greyhound. Wood stairs and banisters, waxed wood floors, very rural and cosy.

Short distance from a village where most essential services where located. All the neighbours also have farms and we would regularly exchange eggs and veg and bread. A certain wet and miserable looking man in my basement tinkering away at the piano. Nothing too crazy haha ^-^

That or a cute lil cottage with a luscious garden and pond and greenhouse inspired by Monet's garden.

Favourite colour combo: Black and gold! with maybe a pop of red or pink or royal blue. Or pale, rosy pink with a nice sage or mossy darker green.

Salt sweet savoury or spicy: Sweet always and then spicy. Not a huge fan of salty. Savoury has its places but it has to be paired with smth else.

Fav Aesthetic: Uhhhhh, right now I'm really into that late 60s/early 70s retro vibe. Loads of texture, warm colours, clashing patterns. Obviously a huge fan of all things gothic. Love me a nice fusion of kitsh with sleek bahaus. Maximalism always.

Where I would live without money or politics: Somewhere cold and misty and miserable but not snowy. Closer to the forest than to the sea, but sea MUST be within a reasonable drive distance. Not really crazy about big cities. Scotland or England WOULD be so perfect, or Northern Italy. I really like the scandinavian forests, but it's Too Cold for me.

Bad habit people wouldn't expect: Anything to do with laundry, I'm not great at keeping on top of that. Or washing fruit - I eat so much fruit but I am not the best at washing it. A quick rinse and we're chill  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Name: Levynn

Pronouns: anything really, i grew up with a pronounless language so i have no attachments

Weapon of choice: Axes. Battle, throwing, whatever. I like non-finesse weapons. Also the gore potential. Tho i am fond of throwing knives on the side. But axes.

Magic power: Wormhole creation at a whim. I am all for the quick going around and popping in to say hi to friends living far away but i prefer not to get atomised every single time by teleportation. Besides all my self hatred, i prefer to stay me on an atomic level.

Dream house: Something small in a big city. I don't think i could exist in the quiet of the countryside for extended periods of time anymore. I need the background noise. The namelessness and facelessness of large crowds. The constant buzz, the endless opportunities for distractions.

Favourite colour combo: Dark slate grey with a dash of teal. Or white with teal. In both cases the teal is just a barely there accent colour. Quality over quantity.

Salt sweet savoury or spicy: Savoury and spicy mainly. Or salty. But if i want salty i just eat salt. Sweet is fine in moderation.

Fav aesthetic: Some sort of dark homey eclectic thing. Something with lots of dark wood and small knicknacks and detail but not in an overwhelming way. On the darker side but not oppressively gothic either. It probably has a name but i'm not sure.

Where i would live without money or politics: Seconding Darya on the colder, misty and miserable with lots of rain. I don't have any specific place in mind. I'd honestly would prefer if just the weather would go back to what it was two decades ago in my weather zone and i'd be fine. I could imagine living somewhere else sure but i like my home country. The politics are what they are and the people can be shit but the place is.. you know. It's home, with all it's faults.

Bad habit people would not expect: Something unexpected bad habit? I'm not sure. I'm pretty straightforward with my faults. It's easier. Maybe the constant urge to play devils advocate in most situations even if it does not align with my standpoint even remotely. I kinda enjoy being weird about stuff when i think someone can be provoked. Trying to see what other people's limits are. You know that meme with the penguin with the cymbals standing above a sleeping polar bear with the text "still worth it"? That's pretty much me in more than half of my conversations irl.
