#* margo.

excessively detailed headcanon tumblr meme / inbox cleaning + not accepting.

i’ll answer this for her main verse, marena, and for her mortal/mutant persona, margo. they’re the same person, with just margo being a crafted identity now that she takes on in certain circumstances/universes.

6. eating habits and sample daily menu

marena: while marena does not require sustenance of any kind, much like her fellow laws, she does partake in consumption either for ritualistic or pleasure purposes. she will eat the meals prepared by her worshippers, which are usually cultural dishes from various latin american traditions -- especially mesoamericans ones, and she will also occasionally eat humans or other creatures but this is rare compared to carmina or desiderio’s eating habits. what she does eat the most is fruit, especially mangoes, pineapples, bananas, guanabana, flor de jamaica (in the form of juice), papayas, dragon fruit, star fruit, guava, avocados and maracuyá. the goddess loves herself some fruit, and it’s no surprise she smells like any (or a mix) of these most of the time. 

margo: has a preference for eating out rather than cooking, although she is pretty good at doing it it’s just not something she enjoys save for the occasional night she will prepare a full course meal of several interesting things she saw on the food network. other than that she keeps it very simple for her breakfasts and lunches, eating mainly vegetables and dairy like goat cheeses and eggs, sometimes wrapped around a tortilla. sometimes simpler things still like yogurts or oatmeal. very rarely does she prepare greasy/fried meals, not out of health concerns but because she does not like the taste or smell of it. for lunches she likes brown rice, sometimes with beans or chicken or plantains, or a mix of all four for dinner she tends to order something, usually chinese food, thai food, arab food or sushi. if not she might just skip dinner or eat fruit. if she has company u can persuade her into making u tacos/flautas. if she likes u that is.  

8. favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging

marena: in the context of the aequist trinity, desiderio is usually considered the main proponent of excess and by extension indulgence, with carmina being that of moderation or temperance, and marena in turn representing austerity or abstention. that’s not to say marena doesn’t understand indulgence, she just has a preference for avoidance of things that can be considered harmful. that’s why when you accept to become a follower of marena you must give up at least one vice -- or activity considered an indulgence -- to her as an offering. it doesn’t have to be all of them, but it has to be one, usually the most important. marena sees indulgences as natural (considering desiderio, the embodiment of life, is in charge of them) but too much indulgence can be detrimental to a satisfactory existence. she prefers for people to live, for the most part, simple lifestyles, with innocuous sources of gratification. you could count the aforementioned eating, or even her hobby of dancing, as indulgences for that matter since they serve no higher purpose except visceral enjoyment. 

margo: pretty clothes, make up, nice lotions that make ur skin look and small and feel amazing, takeout food -- basically all of these could count as indulgences, and they’re all things margo enjoys. it’s safe to say she has a much more lenient view point overall. 

24. is there one subject of study that they excel at? or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?

marena: pursuit of knowledge is a noble one in her eyes, and beneficial either just from a personal standpoint or when it comes to dealing with the world. she puts special importance on the topic of history and remembrance, since it’s so closely related to death, and since she has encyclopedic knowledge of everyone who has ever died and their histories. she advises her followers to study and research the past in order to better understand the present and future, and perhaps even more important than that, to record the present as best as they can, since it will be useful not just for them but for others in the future. she also enjoys the topic of strategy, and games of logic and reasoning. 

margo: though at a glance she doesn’t seem that interested by academics, she does also have an like for history, and reads a lot of nonfiction of any topic, including biographies. considering she has no use for any of it except general trivia + the occasional reference during conversation, you can count on this being seeking knowledge for its own sake.

30. reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)

marena: considering who she is, she doesn’t see death as a bad thing, unless it was through unsavory circumstances. her reaction to intrapersonal disasters tho gets her contemplative and distant, and might seem icy and impersonal regarding the whole happening. it’s weird when something affects her, since she’s been around for so long, and she keeps it close to her. it’s not something for just anyone to witness.

31. for someone as “materialistic” as her, margo doesn’t ultimately care about things too much. yeah, she likes expensive clothes. yeah, she likes jewelry. yeah, she likes make up. she likes all those things and spends a considerable amount of money every so often in these interests, but she could lose all these and be more upset about the specific way that she lost them than the fact that she did it in the first place. they all mean something to her, alright, but they’re just stuff. she can always get more stuff.

there’s only one thing she does care about enough that it would make her sad if she lost it, and that’s the first pair of ballet slippers she wore as a child. she wore them for her first recital ever and wore them until her feet didn’t fit inside them because she’d grown up. but she keeps them, for no particular reason except being one of the fondest memories she has of an otherwise shitty childhood.

5. when it comes to her workplace, she’s impeccable. not a single thing out of place, no messes, when it comes to her apartment, specifically her room, it’s a bit messy, but i’d say it’s still pretty clean. she can be a bit careless on where she leaves her stuff but it’s not like it matters, you know? she lives alone. her apartment is her one personal space where she gets to not care about how she comes across.
