            it was always this way when curiosity got the better of her. curiosity, and something much, much heavier.

           at first, she would only watch. a keen-eyed owl, or a mere leaf on the wind, keeping sentinel over this rickety mortal bed. that heavy something, however, eventually became too weighty for wing or wind. it pulled her right down to the ground, into gnarled tree roots and jagged rock. it’s where she stays now, a spirit of unfathomable power distilled into a mere pebble. watching that bed, unmoved, with some remnants of scarred earth in its wake, is no longer enough. mother nature steps forth as a woman, tall, severe, and firm, but as she takes another step forward, her body dissipates into the very rain her hands have conjured. it is in this water that she sinks through the earth, trickling further until she reaches the great underground caverns that make up the lair of the nightmare king.

              if he can still be called king.

              as she manifests in physical form once more, her boots click softly against stone. she does not fear the dark, for her eyes flash with an animalistic flare. she does not fear the cold, for there is nothing colder than the glare that sweeps across the space. and she does not fear fear, for what is fear in the face of power?

       𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑 father, the nightmare king, for perhaps a heartbeat too long. her gaze is as distant and as frigid as ever, but the lingering is nevertheless telling -- does he remember? a great general was once a great warrior...did some of kozmotis break through his pallid, sickly prison...?

[ ♛ ] send me a url and i'll tell you the following;

my opinion on;

character in general  :

seraphina exists on the long list of characters that have so much potential but so little follow through in their canon  .  which is fine  ,  really  ,  because then you get people like samcat who pick them up  &&  run away with them  .  what we do get to see of seraphina in the books is undoubtedly fascinating  &&  pretty neat  (  mostly  )  .  i like her role as a neutral force  ,  opposing the guardians being a force of ‘ good ’  while pitch is a force of ‘ evil ’ .  i just think it’s a little odd how young/immature it seems like she’s supposed to be in canon since she’s  .  .  .  well ‘mother’ nature  .  maybe i’ve just gotten to used to how samcat  (  &&  our other friend sasha  )  have portrayed her over all these years  .

how they play them  :

samcat is my partner in crime in grabbing one of the few female characters from this series that had like . . . three lines of dialogue  &&  just going batshit crazy with them for 9 years now  .  if you have a question about samcat’s portrayal of sera  ,  i can practically guarantee that she will be able to answer it  ,  either because she’s thought of it already  ,  or because she is so used to stepping into the character’s shoes that she can figure it out on the spot  . moreover  ,  i adore that samcat has kept that neutral element to seraphina’s character  ,  while also exploring some of the deeper aspects that her character allows for  ,  such as exploring parenthood  (  what makes a good person vs what makes a good mother  )  ,  the ways we cope with trauma  &&  humanity’s relationship with the planet it lives on  .

the mun  :

once again  !  this mun is one of my best friends !  i think samcat’s blog was one of the first that i followed when i made tooth’s back in 2012  &&  i still remember being so in awe  &&  giddy when she followed back because i was a little star struck  . honestly i still feel a little star struck talking to samcat after all these years  ,  just because she’s the sort of person you can’t help but admire  .  she’s also one of the strongest people i know  ,  though i wish life didn’t require it of her as often as it has  . anyways i can’t wait to visit her in a few weeks  &&  make her cry over anime  .

do i;

follow them  :

yes  !  another one of the first blogs i tend to follow when i make a new one  .

rp with them  :

yes  &&  it is a blessing  .

want to rp with them  :

i am always down for even more threads between this gay bird  &&  tree  .  or any of samcat’s other characters  !  she writes them all so well  .

ship their character with mine  :

/drags my hands down my face/ i have so many dumb feelings about seraphina x tooth it’s embarrassing  .  so usually when i get too worked up about it i make them a playlist or something lol  .  i just think they provide so much good to each other in practically every verse we throw them in  .  also what’s sexier than two wives who are both willing to kill for the other one  . i also appreciate the sort of cynical mentorship toothiana has with nahia  .  i always like the opportunities for tooth to interact with children because it is so fun to explore the ways that she is  &&  is not good with them  . let’s see . . . similarly we have a sort of mentorship idea going on between aqua  &&  nahia which  ,  again  ,  would love to explore more  .  nahia practically belongs in the kingdom hearts universe with how full of light she is  . &&  aqua has adopted seraphina as her mom  ,  no take-backsies  .

what is my  ;

overall opinion  :

**Note: Mun’s answer are all to be completely honest. Don’t send url if you don’t want brutal honesty. i mostly just want an excuse to say nice things about you && your muses .
