daffodil : is your muse one to be loyal in relationships , or are they likely to quickly move from one bond to another ?

aloe : how does your muse handle grief ?

poorly— or that is to say, not at all. suigetsu simply doesn’t look his grief in the eye; he doesn’t give it the time to hurt him. if despair is the sea, suigetsu floats, and relaxes, and doesn’t think about what’ll come if he stops breathing. when mangetsu died, he was heartbroken, but as with all shinobi — and especially for a clan as prestigious as the hozuki — suigetsu wasn’t given room to grieve his brother. he learned early to suck up his feelings; instead, his grief manifested as a general apathy for life. he stopped attending school altogether, abandoned or neglected most of the friendships he had, and in every sense stopped trying.

once orochimaru took him suigetsu had all the time in the world to grieve, explore his innermost feelings, and in fact had little option not to; he was alone constantly, with no distractions or methods of healing other than experimentation. suigetsu’s slippery, though; he had water, so he spent most of his time hydrified. while he’s in a liquid state, suigetsu doesn’t experience complex internal thought in the same way he does while human; his kekkai genkai became his only saving grace, the final way he could avoid having to confront himself. overall, suigetsu avoids his grief until it leaves him alone.

bluebell : does your muse learn from their past , or are they prone to repeating the same mistakes ?

suigetsu’s never been much good at learning from his mistakes. most times, he’ll take the easiest path open to him, even if it’s one he’s taken before.

heliotrope : does your muse believe in soulmates ?

bachelor’s button :   does your muse actively seek romantic companionship ,   or cherish the liberties of being single ?

suigetsu doesn’t care much for romance, and for most of his life never really ‘got it’ as a concept; to him, it’s always been a dog-eat-dog, me-against-the-world kind of mentality. even when in love, he’s not exactly romantic; to him, the ideal romantic partner is simply his best friend, without any necessary distinctions to turn it into a Romantic Relationship™. he’s never been one to actively seek out romantic companionship, either; he isn’t the type who’d try to actively date or go to singles events. love is rare and difficult for him, his life having been such an abscess of it, but when he does fall in love, it’s overwhelming and with all his heart, un-nuanced. to him, love isn’t something that can be searched for; it just happens when it happens, and then you deal with it. 

suigetsu’s being in love is an anomaly, though, so by default he’s a perpetually single slag, and likes it that way. he’s a lonely person who needs friends, but he doesn’t have any need for a Person Of His Own to return to at the end of the day.

bay tree :   does your muse seek glory   &   accolades ,   or do they favour a simpler ,   more personal life ?

hard to tell. suigetsu loves praise and glory, and always dreamed of being one of the world’s greatest swordsmen, but he’s never had the motivation to go out and work at it. when suigetsu was young, maybe, he was more ambitious, if still pretty unmotivated; he had big dreams and an attitude, an i’ll show them mentality. after otogakure, though, suigetsu’s more satisfied with his lot; you could call that growing up, or just hopeless pessimism that he’ll never be the person he used to dream of being. while he’s not exactly happy with an ordinary life, he knows that being extraordinary was never meant for someone like him; it’s fun to dream about it, but deep down, he knows it’s never gonna happen. so he settles.

edelweiss :   what was the bravest moment in your muse’s life ? are they known to be courageous from then on ?

suigetsu isn’t generally a brave person; arguably, because being brave requires fear as a prerequisite. suigetsu does a lot of dangerous and reckless things, but not generally because he’s courageous; more foolhardy and brash, often without thinking things through. he lacks a regard for consequences, likely because he had so little passion for life in his youth; while captive in otogakure, he learned a survivalist kind of mentality and gained a sense of self-preservation, as one does when they’re forced to live in a dehumanised, animalistic state. again, though, suigetsu’s various escape attempts were less done out of bravery than a kind of ‘anything’s better than this’ mentality. after being freed by sasuke, similarly, suigetsu gained the attitude that whatever happened to him now couldn’t be any worse than what he’d already gone through, so again, it’s hard to argue that he was brave.

his bravest moment, though, at a point where he’d genuinely come to love life and the people around him, and did fear losing what he had, was during the killer bee fight when he attempted to sacrifice himself to let the other members of taka escape. this was one of the first, and arguably the only time suigetsu’s ever made a self-sacrificial act, not out of guilt or fear but out of the real desire to protect; and he did it aware of the consequences, fearful of death, and with a good amount of value placed on his life. but he did it anyway, and doesn’t regret it. he might not be regarded as a courageous person in general, but that moment probably did show a braver side of him to his team that they might not have known about before.

holly :   how strong is your muse’s sense of intuition ? are they aware of it ? do they ever fear that it is only paranoia ?

GLASS CAGE.

you feel disconnected from the world around you. you can see everything, everyone can see you, but you're not really there. no one can really communicate with you, can they? you're isolated, even when you're around people you're alone. you want desperately to be close to someone, but you're afraid of what will happen if you shatter your glass prison. you don't want to let someone in, you don't want to leave, and it's a constant battle of your own will. it's easier to be alone, where no one can hurt you ... isn't it?

LAYER TEN : FINISH THE SENTENCE

send me a # to learn an unusual hc about my muse!  //  ( accepting ) 

1. what’s your muse’s favorite album of all time / favorite artist?     //    predictably, he likes underground, alternative kind of stuff. artist-wise, it’s probably a toss-up between depeche mode, nine inch nails, and placebo. that being said he is very well versed when it comes to music, and can and will start singing diana ross or mika at a moment’s notice.

20. what do they hate being teased about? are they teased often?    //    his height. he likes to think he is secure about it, and has practiced very hard to be game when it comes to teasing (gotta take it if you dish it out)  but if you push him past a certain point he can and will explode. also anything concerning his emotional repression, though it’s less that he hates it than it genuinely renders his brain a ‘buffering’ sign and will completely 1 hit KO him.
