“ You deliberately terrorised me! Practically shoving that furball of yours in my face! ” Truly, Jumin has brought this face upon himself! This is an entirely appropriate reaction! There had been one cat picture too many (we’ll ignore that this number is very small and more than one at all is one too many) and so Zen had been left with no other choice. Blocking Jumin online was his only option! It doesn’t even matter that Jumin’s photo taking skills are questionable at best, Zen’s sinuses can sense a cat anywhere. “ I did it for my own health! ”

This does also partly apply to people writing the MC, by the way! Because the MC is such a vague character, any interpretations of them are basically OCs and, although they do know Zen within canon, I’d prefer to plot/talking anything deeper out, rather than have anybody make assumptions about my version of Zen. You shouldn’t feel afraid to start interactions with me if you feel too nervous about approaching me out of character because it’s only really relevant where references to their relationship is concerned because I can’t really gauge what your MC thinks of Zen until you tell me. Casual threads don’t require preemptive discussion but I do not feel particularly comfortable having set relationship dynamics pushed on me, platonic, romantic or otherwise. This is especially true if you ship Zen with the MC because, honestly, I do not particularly ship them and do not find their romantic plotline to be the most interesting or important (and, honestly, I’m not the biggest fan of dating sims so I can’t say I was really playing MM for the romance). I am not opposed to shipping Zen with the MC but that depends heavily on the interpretation and how they’ve been written but I ask that people don’t come to me automatically expecting I be willing to write this ship, just because it’s technically canon in one route.

But, yeah, long story short; I don’t like writing pre-established stuff with characters Zen doesn’t canonically know without being asked beforehand (and don’t be afraid to ask, I don’t bite) & I won’t be automatically shipping with anybody because I’m a hellishly fussy shipper who doesn’t actually ship Zen with anybody in particular anyway. And, again, none of this is out of a lack of respect for OCs (as it also refers to any canon muse’s MM verse, if they have one) because I am an OC writer and this is my only canon muse. I promise that I do not value canons over OCs in any sense and I actually feel this way about all my muses (i.e; I do not feel comfortable with people forcing friendships or ships or whatever onto any of my muses).

THE MAGICIAN

The Magician is associated with action, initiative, self-confidence, manipulation and power (more specifically, the power to harness one's talents).You prefer being the right-hand man of someone you are close to or you look up to. A tragedy in your life must have shaped you unto who you are right now and how you live your life. You prefer dynamic and theatrical situations rather than solemn and quiet paces of life. A downside in your character is that you may possibly be perverted most of the time and easily fall in love or have crushes on other people you admire.

i don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion or anything but i don’t believe that zen actually hates cats. is he allergic to them? obviously. does he generally dislike them? yeah, definitely, in that he definitely doesn’t enjoy being around them and he dislikes them enough to be confused by seven’s infatuation (although he seems to be generally confused by seven as a matter of principle). however, i think most of his ‘hatred’ is just a means of pissing jumin off because, let’s be real, zen is just that petty. 

the fact that you can lose hearts (this is probably clumsy terminology but bear with me) for saying nice things about cats definitely has a lot more to do with him getting jealous or something --- it’s not the fact the mc likes cats that bothers him, it’s that the mc is sticking up for jumin instead of him. if jumin didn’t love cats, i’m not sure zen would care about the mc’s opinions on the matter at all and, by extension, i’m sure he wouldn’t care if the (zen route) mc was like ‘nah, i was lying, i love cats’. if anything, he’d probably enjoy that because it meant they were deliberately sticking up for him even if they technically disagreed but i digress. similarly, his anger in response to jumin provoking him with cat pictures is probably a mix of genuine discomfort and (more importantly) him being annoyed that jumin is poking fun at him. it’s also important to remember that a lot of the dialogue is IM-based and therefore not always the most accurate in terms of representing a character’s feelings --- it’s not unusual over-exaggerate over text for the sake of humour. this idea is largely supported within the plotline of zen’s route and i do believe the choice to throw an advert for cat food, specifically, in there was deliberate. zen agreeing to do the advert was about him overcoming his issues with jumin so it’s likely that the whole cat thing was written to be a deliberate representation of that too.

furthermore, there are certain spaceship quotes that serve to support this, namely; ‘hmmm~ I wanna sing for elly’ and ‘would it have been better if I were allergic to dogs?’. the first, i assume, refers to elizabeth 3rd, who we know zen doesn’t actually hate (again cementing the idea it’s more of a jumin issue, not that i actually believe he hates jumin either). i don’t know why anybody would want to sing to a cat if they outright hated them. i don’t know why he wants to sing to a cat in general but hey. the second is pretty clear in its meaning too but i think both quotes, the second in particular, suggest zen laments his allergies and that he might even wish he weren’t allergic. 

i was tagged by: nobody! i just wanted to do this bc a lot of ppl here don’t know me at all

EXPERIENCE:

how long (months/years?): overall, eleven years come this june! on tumblr, five years this month (in just under a week, actually) how’d you start: i started on neopets.......i was ten.....asdfghgfd platforms you’ve used: neopets, various forums, msn, tumblr, skype, facebook (did not like it), twitter worst experience: ohhhhh boy,,,,on tumblr? getting my shit stolen/copied but, overall, i’m not 100% sure best experience: my main blog ( @nightscaped ) in general & all the friends i’ve made through that blog

MUSE PREFERENCES:

female or male: none, i like writing both equally. however, i do have more male muses right now (it’s a 3:1 ratio) original or canon: original! i just feel a lot comfier writing my own characters because 1) i love doing it and 2) there are no set expectations i have to reach. i have the freedom to explore the character as i like without disagreements. favorite face: .....kim jaejoong >:^) but only in the sense he’s my favourite to use aghgdgfhd (i probably wouldn’t interact with anybody using him for personal reasons) and kamenashi kazuya is a good second. as for fcs being used by other people? i have no favourites! whoever suits the muse! least favorite fc: uh, i don’t really know. probably the super overused crowd; anyone from supernatural, dylan o’brien & any of those identical blonde models who have pretty much the exact same face?? honestly, there are probably more but i try not to judge based on fcs too much unless their faces really annoy me. xiumin from exo, not that i’ve seen him used much. also, fcs being used for the wrong ethnicity is The Worst just,,,stop,,,pleAse,, multi or single: i don’t know what this applies to but, uh, i prefer writing single muse blogs bc i’m too disorganised for multimuse, i prefer writing single ship bc i like the coherence and i like multi-verse but i’m also picky about aus.
