my opinion on;

character in general: garnet is such a classic character. she’s such a wonderful balance of a lot of the tradition tropes that come with royalty and something so much deeper. the journey she takes over the course of her game is incredible to watch and it’s easy to follow and digest which is what i think makes her so relatable to a lot of people. a good thing for a royal, no?how they play them: garnet ( i’m just straight up calling you that forever, yknow... ) is garnet. i can’t really explain it any other way. over the years, the way this character is written had been ironed into my brain and i, honestly, can’t take the character without so much of the development i’ve seen here. and i consider that such a blessing. she’s is this blog. it’s wonderful.the mun: i know she hasn’t been around too much recently, but i have ( and still! ) consider garnet to be one of the best friends i’ve made her on tumblr. always kind and classic, she really is a reflection of the character she plays. and i think that’s why it works so well, the best writers, i think, are able to draw from themselves and the things they know and she does this flawlessly. i hope she knows, even when she’s not around, i think of her often and am always sending positive vibes and well wishes her way!

do i;

follow them: yes!rp with them: absolutely!want to rp with them: always.ship their character with mine: we never really got to delve into it ( yet! ) but i still think braska and garnet could have such a fun relationship. i think they could learn a lot from each other. and the idea that braska becomes sort of a friendly advice column for her majesty is still one of my favorite au’s to this day!

@beyondtheflyingbird liked this for a starter

The raindrops had begun to patter heavily against the small window just overhead, each drop anew reminding the Black Mage of the weather outside while their collective came together to perform the old familiar symphony of a mid-winter rain. Truthfully, the weather was a tad bit too warm for Alexandria in this season, but it was what it was. And such a rain, albeit it was not as coveted by the children as snow would have been, was still something the Burmecian enjoyed.

Truth be told, he was heavily tempted to go outside and feel the delightful downpour on his own skin, to feel the rhythm of the falling droplets and smell that particular smell they carried, but he could not afford to do so now. Not when he had been granted such an opportunity.

All he had to do was mention two names. One, ancient and almost forgotten, but still inspiring awe in those who knew it. The other much more recent and carrying a weight only few others did in this time and age. How he had come to learn of the first and gain permission to use the second would likely be the topic of speculation amongst the scholars here for the days and weeks to come. Sceada would not divulge that information to rob them of this pasttime.

Still... to think they had actually allowed him into the secret chamber of the Alexandrian library... Most people weren’t even privy to it’s existance, and only a small fraction of those that did have ever laid eyes on the works collected in here. And he was now sitting here, studying one of these tomes. What an unbelievable opportunity.

This was no time to be out in the rain, clearly.

Two pairs of eyes kept close watch of his actions as he went through the ancient text with the utmost care, scholars tasked with making sure he did nothing inappropriate, or even worse, illegal, like taking a page out of one of these invaluable books. Not that he was the type to do that. But better safe than sorry, right?

baby I miss you <3

Silent, and grim. These are the only two emotions the knight had ever been seen showing off-duty, or in the rare times baetrix could force him out of the castle for a break everyone thought was due, especially given his constant devotion and hard work.

He gave so much, all in the name of loyalty, and never once questionned orders.

Never once.

Save for this one time. The …. “Kuja” incident that led to the previous queen’s unfortunate end was still burnt in the man’s memories. The aftermath was still felt to this very, leaving the man deeply conflicted, internally. His resolve remained the same, but suddenly, the stakes increased as his views broadened, zidane being the instigator of these changes.

And then… Kuja himself. Oh, kuja. His mind and dreams previously entirely dedicated to the woman he had loved, were now filled of dread and terror ever since that unsufferable monkey had made his comeback.

He grins at the young queen, eyes alight, a faint blush in his cheeks. He dares not hold her gaze too long. After all, she is a queen. Yet even so, with his eyes now downcast, toward the floor, he lets out a slight laugh.
