☾ ━ how many pets do you own? if none, what kind of animals do you like?

ooc. I own 2 but if you count my family dog I no longer with with then 3! I own a horse named Sassy & a rabbit named Diego! Sassy is 21, a Clydesdale-Oldenburg cross who I rescued about a year and a half ago. She’s my everything. Diego is my New Zealand rabbit! He turns a year old on April 8th and he’s the most hilarious rabbit I’ve ever met. So smart too. He knows commands like ‘down’ ‘kisses’ ‘thank you’ ‘blueberry’. 

♣ ━ share five random facts about yourself

i. I am Biace but have very high expectations for partners so I might as well be aro-ace.  ii. my life writes like way too many movie plot tropes. currently my life is a shitty horse-girl movie where the idiot girl rescues a horse that becomes her best friend. its embaressing.  iii. i am severely addicted to sunflower seeds iv. my symbol is the ladybug. i have one tattooed on my shoulder. v. the only thing I miss since the pandemic hit was going to metal concerts every weekend and vibbing with the crowds.

Multi-Muse questions

1. Which of your muses to do relate to the most?

That’s... actually a really good question. While I’m very attached to almost all of them for various reasons, I’m not sure that many of them are characters who I specifically relate to, at least not fully.

I guess, in a sense, possibly Lilo? At least, in the sense of having been that one weird kid with odd interests, and not having had a lot of friends who understood me... but even then, there are still several areas where we’re nothing alike - she, like most of my muses, is still more outgoing than I ever have been! - so it’s still not a complete thing; but I think she’s possibly the closest.

At least if you don’t count my mun face claim, Huey, who I find Extremely Relatable™ but isn’t actually a muse xD

2. Which of your muses was an unexpected muse?

Taffyta, Zoey and Padparadscha were all kinda spur-of-the-moment muses when I picked them up! Most of my muses, even if their initial appeal to me was unexpected, I’ve thought through, maybe tried out a little in other places, before I picked them up; but those three were far more spontaneous and went through no such process. Vixey was too, even more so, when I started playing her - but that was on another site, and by the time I added her to my tumblr I was very comfortable with her already.

Taffyta was picked up when my girlfriend’s Vanellope blog was lamenting the lack of anyone writing for the other Sugar Rush kids; I spontaneously sent her a series of anonymous asks as if from Taffyta, then that spiralled off into making a blog for her.

Zoey, I grabbed equally spontaneously because we watched the 2D-animated Rudolph movie together, and I thought the amount of under-utilised potential in the character was absolutely criminal; I wanted to try and explore her as her own person, beyond just the love interest. (And the fact that my gf also played Rudolph on her multimuse played a part in convincing me, too!)

Then Paddie... I don’t even remember, other that it was only, like, the day after the SU Wanted Special Event dropped; and I scrambled around like mad to set up her blog because I hadn’t been planning to take on any other SU characters after Connie xD

3. Have any of your muses taught you anything in writing them? What?

I... can’t remember. I’m sure it has happened; I try to do due research when something necessary comes up, and I’m sure I’ve learned unexpected things from both that and from working around in my muses’ very different mindsets. But I genuinely can’t, offhand, think of any particular instances where I’ve learned something specific from them.

4. Which muse required the most research for?

Most of my research, I admit, comes down more to checking around various fandom wikis, or the source material itself, for obscure details that I missed the first time, or that I don’t quite remember! Other than that, I’ve definitely done some dinosaur research for Cera - including information on size and, most recently, diet -; research on the relevant area of Africa for Kiara; and, perhaps most unusually, for Angry I had to look into such an obscure topic as how ice was stored in a European setting before the invention of the freezer (and whether it even would have been during the time period of Tangled or not)!

Not counting the research done on fandom-specific topics... possibly Kiara? I definitely remember chasing around after facts to do with African seasons and specific details of various animals’ ways of life for her threads ^^

11. Do your muses share trends in AUs?

Um... to an extent. There’s no one AU that all my muses have, I tend to pick and choose which AU verses I give to which muses; but I will usually give any given AU verse that I want to play around in to at least two of my muses. Zootopia verses, for example, went to Kiara, Cera and, as of last week, Vixey; Star Wars verses for Angel and Mabel; Toon verses for Webby and Cera; and at least Cera and Kiara have dark-ending AU verses that spin off from their mains. So there are trends, but not ones that cover more than a handful of muses at a time.

15. Which muse is the most chill to write?

I always find Angel a pretty chill experience to write for, these days; probably because of how familiar a muse she is to me. She was the first character I ever RPed as, way back before I’d even heard of tumblr (over ten years ago now!), and as such she - or at least, my take on her - just flows easily without me having to think about it a whole lot. The fact that I haven’t watched her movie in SEVERAL YEARS and she still comes easy to me is testament to just how engrained she is on my writing xD

“Ugh, don’t even get me started.”

Though she rolled her eyes expressively, the bigger part of Taffyta’s reluctance was all for show; in actual fact, she was more than happy to have an excuse to drag Vanellope’s name through the mud for the new girl’s benefit.

Some of the other racers seemed to think this girl, newly patched into the program to give her some more challenging competition, was scary... but, pft, not her. Taffyta Muttonfudge was not the kind of girl to be easily intimidated.

... or at least, so she liked to think.

Expression quickly gave way to a smug grin, however, as Taffyta dropped the act. Aside from winning - and getting her ego stroked - there were few things that the blonde child took greater pleasure in than helping to make a certain little glitch’s life utterly miserable.

She idly waved one of her lollipops between her fingers as she talked.

“Oh, she’s this pile of reject code who lives out in the forest. You know the kind; never meant to exist, just kinda made of the leftover code, gl-gl-glitches and twitches all over the place--”

She cruelly mimicked one of Vanellope’s glitch spasms on the appropriate word.

“And... and get this, this is the best part. She actually thinks that she can be one of us. As if a little freak like her could ever actually be a racer.”

“I’m sorry, Your Highness.” The guards apologized to the princess.

Nervousness bleeds into his eyes for a moment as he’s called upon. In the crowded room of people, all loyal to the Fire Nation, Shang cannot say that he aligns with them anymore. There’s been months of internal debate, months of chipping away at his idea of honour, duty, right and wrong. Had such doubts somehow spilled outwards without him realizing. Since his father’s death, he’s questioned everything.

Coming forward, Shang bows at the waist, his hands folded in the typical prayer position customary to the fire nation. He keeps his bow for a moment before he rises to his full height again, locking eyes with the Princess. 

“Yes, your highness?”

Ty Lee laid in the grass enjoying the warm breeze as she hummed softly lacing together the stems of some daisies to make chains, She was almost so distracted with her activity that she nearly didn’t realize when her sun was blocked and she was forced to look up and she grinned happily
