Send me a ™ to learn how my muse would show possessiveness over yours

She was by no intention her's. Not in relation, not in duty, not in anything. In the same way she did not belong to Senritsu, Senritsu certainly did not belong to her.

Nonetheless, despite herself, Ame often found that after a time the attention of others became... irksome.

It wasn't the way Senritsu spoke to them, because she always wore that sugar sweet mask around others that Ame had begun chipping away at. And it wasn't how she acted either because that was as fake as her smile. If she had to pinpoint one thing about it that bothered her, perhaps it was sometimes the fact that she seemed more interested in others than in her.

It seemed stupid, when Ame actually thought about it. She had never cared if Senritsu's attention was on her or not, but as their bond grew stronger she found herself...

...growing possessive. To a degree. Almost the way Sasori grew over Deidara at times.

Not that it was ever difficult to remedy the situation. There was after all, something Ame had that others did not.

"Senritsu." she would call, just her name, just loud enough to be heard.

Senritsu would look up, bid whoever she was talking to farewell, and come trotting back over.

"J'yes Adagio?"

"Sweet talking is good and all, but we have a mission to attend. Can't it wait?"

"Adagio, I was getting information! J'you're growing impatient! Too much time around Sasori-senpai!"

Send me a ™ to learn how my muse would show possessiveness over yours

She's not good at  s h a r i n g.

Nothing has ever really been  h e r ' s  and so the concept of allowing others near what little is eats her alive inside like some kind of parasite. Like much else in her life, she bears it, she lets it eat her and she never says a word. The thoughts that run through her head have no need or being known by anyone but herself.

But sometimes.

                         S o m e t i m e s. 

There's only so many times she can bite her lip and gnaw her cheeks and erase what is festering inside her. Now is not one of those times.

She walks to him with her back straight and her head high and when her hand falls against his elbow he looks up and the conversation he was having stops. One of the women in the group he was speaking to looks at her, her eyes flash, she's annoyed that attention has been drawn from her but that's hardly the extent of what Ame intends.

The assassin tilts her head up and she leans just enough that her mouth brushes his ear when she whispers to him, drawing more of his attention away. She says something innocuous, unimportant, it probably didn't need to be whispered but she doesn't care. He smiles, and her lips quirk up because she got what she wanted.

The woman is glowering at her and Ame almost wants to laugh at her.

Did she really think that she could steal his attention? Oh Larisa had tried, time and again, but if there was one thing Ame was sure of it was that whenever she was around, the only one Scepan would look at was her.

♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ ○ |:| Holy well thought out questions Batman--

Is Ame shadow controlling ability alike to the Nara clans?

If it bears any likeness, then it's within the mere nature of what they control; shadows. While Nara techniques necessitate the use of your own shadow in conjunction to another's, Ame's abilities allow her to control any shadow. (Distance and line of sight do play into this as well.) Nara techniques also base themselves largely around restriction and capture while Ame's ability is more to "manifest shadows" if that makes any sense. She can use them as both defense and attack.

If faced with any of the Nara members eg; Shikamaru, how would the battle play out?

Honestly? No idea. Probably depends on when / where they met. Ame's ability versus Shikamaru's would likely be less a battle of shadow vs. shadow and more strategy vs. strategy. On the one hand, Ame's ability would almost nullify Shikamaru's in some ways. On the other, if she were to attack with her own shadows that would run the risk of giving him a chance to take control of them. Ultimately? I think they'd probably both revert to hand to hand.

Did the kitsunes teach the Nara the ability years and years ago?

That is... Not actually something I'd ever thought about, now that you mention it. I suppose it may be possible? Or that in the past the Nara saw what the kitsune were capable of and thought to adapt a technique off of it. (If there's any Shikamaru who might wanna explore that plotline, send me an ask like seriously.)

If not how would Ame react to the shadow ability?

♕ - What are 5 writing tips you’d give to beginners?

♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ ○ |:| Oh boy okay I'm terrible at advice but here goes--

Do not stress yourself. Writing is a matter of the mind and if you're getting stressed over what you can and cannot write you're not going to produce anything worth reading. Writer's block is a pain in the ass but it's different every time you get it-- Sometimes you can power through it, sometimes you can't. If you can't; don't feel bad. It's okay, take a break.

Learn from others. There is no shame in picking up words, phrases, habits, styling, or methods from other writers. Just like anything, copying someone else to the letter isn't very fair to them, but learning from them is alright! Writing styles grow and change over time, that's a good thing.

Learn the rules before you break them. Literature has been developed over the years off of the backs of people who said okay but what if I said fuck this rule of writing. That's another good thing. But like anything; you gotta know the rules to break them. Study grammar and spelling, make sure you know how to use the words you're learning. Then you fuck them up.

Focus!! If you have trouble writing romance, then focus on getting better at it! If you aren't so great a fight scenes, go find some to read and work on that! Playing to your strengths is good but so is working on bettering your weaknesses.

[✾ - What do you look for in other people’s writing?]

[ [   Honestly? I mostly look for people who pay attention to what their RP partner wrote. I hate RPing with people who overlook my cues again and again and basically nullify what I spent time writing. It pisses me off, especially when it's for the sake of driving the RP their way.   ] ]

[ [   Writing wise? I really can't deal with people who use extensive purple prose. Or on the opposite end of the spectrum, if you write like a kindergartener without any regard for punctuation and grammar I just can't do it.   ] ]
