Water as an Equalizer

There are some things that are necessary for us all, that remind us that we are all ultimately equals—including our basic need for water. Not even the privileged among us can control when the rain falls.

You value fairness above almost anything, and your sense of morality is strong and clear. You have immense compassion for those who have been given bad lots in life, and little patience for those who lack this compassion. You think often about the nature and destiny of humanity as a whole, choosing to focus on what connects us rather than separates us. You value justice and community, and refuse to accept when people tell you that “that’s just the way the world works” as if it cannot be changed.

Remember that you don’t have to be weighed down by every one of the world’s problems: you do what you can, and the sea takes the rest.

Bold all of the themes that apply to your muse’s aesthetic. Italicize all of themes that apply occasionally. Remember to copy and paste to a new post. Do not reblog.

the kiss

You typically wait until the last second to believe the truth--because it would destroy you to believe it, and then find out it was a lie.

You are someone who has never wanted to want, but has rarely been able to do anything else. The idea that you might have to break down your walls for the sake of someone else, someone who could easily decide they don't like what is on the other side, is harrowing. Why let people get close enough to be rejected? You are enough for yourself. And you will tell yourself that every time you catch yourself staring at their mouth, smirking at their joke, finding a reason to flick their shoulder.

Until the kiss.

That's when the flood of want, want, want bowls over you and you realize that you are torn between two ways of living. 

Oh, you think. 

Because, despite how complicated you have made it, the moment you kiss, somehow, things seem incredibly simple. They won't be once you start thinking again. But for now, for this moment, you live in the quiet peace of revelation.

Oh.

patron of tough love

Let it be known: you do not stand by and approve of those who actively seek to hurt the ones they claim to love. But just because it is love, does not mean that it will always be soft. Think of how a pack of wolves operate: strategic, deliberate, protective, entirely capable of ripping out throats and still raising their young with a burning love. Think of the promise of safety in such a group, but also the devastation, should you betray its loyalty and upheave the order in place. You are the god of temperance, of caretakers, and of all those who must carry the weight of responsibility, even when it threatens to crush them dead. God of bending and enforcing rules, god of fair trial and punishment, god of breaking vicious cycles. Protector of older siblings and of soft things needing thicker skin. Deliverer of hard-fought clarity in a fit of rage, weaver of reason into discipline. You teach them how to be strong, to be consistent, in a world that demands them to choose cruelty. The grantor of armistice at the end of a long war, the one who blesses the hardened and makes them rest.

the coffee

whether it’s your sharp tongue, your tendency to blow hot or cold, or the familiarity of you, you’re the coffee. don’t immediately assume that your undercurrent means you’re bitter, a common misconception, because people who like coffee always make it work for them. coffee doesn’t always have to be dark, it can be a warmth that’s comforting and the first start to a day. you aren’t nearly as tough as you make out to be, but we’ll keep your secret. you’re a constant, won’t ever go out of style. not everyone’s taste, but what is these days? an unknown quote reads “I like drinking coffee alone and reading alone... I realize that even though I like being alone, I don’t fancy being lonely” remember you don’t always need to face things yourself, there’s a reason people suggest “coffee?” when they want to spend time together.

glass

The leader who sits on a throne of glass values honesty and integrity. They rule their kingdom democratically and will uphold justice at any cost. Their intelligence and perception is unrivaled in any of the surrounding lands. They will always be transparent with their views and be true to their people and what they stand for. However, it is unwise to lie to a ruler of glass - they can see right through any deception and believe dishonesty to be the most severe of crimes.

mulberry

Key words: romance, slow-burning, devotion. The love of yearning, of candlelit nights spent staring longingly at your lover's hands, or of cramping your own with the effort of writing the perfect love letter. Yours is the love that transcends time, expectations, and patience. When you're in love with somebody, you give them your whole heart. An extremely loyal, thoughtful, and introspective person, your ideal date may involve simply opening a bottle of wine and reveling in the company of your favorite person. Voted most likely to fall in love with somebody who your soul remembers from a past life - if you believe in that sort of thing. Best matched with: Mulberry, Peacock, Scarlet.
