just a casualty of growth

Yes, shipping does need chemistry between the two muses, but if you look at my muse and think ‘You know what, I’d like to ship my muse with theirs!’, feel free to tell me, even before we start threads!

I love having a direction/goal to work the characters towards – when I write fiction on my own, I like having goals and plot points, like romances, family and friend relationships, rivals and enemies.. why wouldn’t I like having the same with RP? RP is just collaborative fiction writing!

There’s no shame in liking ships, or even RPing for ships. There’s tons of people in the world who love to read romance novels, and no one tries to tell them that’s wrong or worse than liking mysteries, or fantasy adventure. Neither preference is wrong, it’s just that – a preference!

ash is kinda a selfish prick, we been knew. but he needs to work together with talwyn for something, maybe to escape capture or to find something they both want for different reasons. he's flippant about her actual good intentions at first but she's able to win him over morally

ash in turn kinda encourages her to be a bit more selfish. she doesn't take it seriously cuz it's not her nature but she appreciates that he's looking out for her in his own way. really they probably both could stand to be, not selfish, but more independent

they both kinda come from lonely backgrounds but while talwyn is optimistic (if reasonably cautious), ash is really cynical. but i can just easily see ash being won over by her realistic idealism eventually and wanting to do good because she believes there's a point to it, they can improve things/he can be good

Finally found the courage to post this (even tho I messed up the dang hand on Hector and some other things UGH). My brain came up with this ship and, wellll, I had to draw it. It's taking place in a AU where Vendra ends up working for Hector and his company after being released from jail early. She's so freaking small in comparison to him golly gosh.
