#fruity asks

peeled pomegranate vibes

hi, ty for the ask!

🍓 ~ What item comforts your oc?

he's been In My Brain recently (as if he ever leaves), but i'll answer this for Ashenivir, because the answer is so immediate for me: his collar.

(for those who haven't read any Obedience, it's a simple necklace of small, plain silver links. it's also enchanted so that it alerts Rizeth whenever Ashenivir touches himself ;p)

He never takes it off, he toys/fiddles with it when he's anxious, or nervous (or thinking about Rizeth). On an in-story level, it's a mark of his ownership and he has pride in that, and likes that it's the one, subtle way he gets to show that he's Rizeth's.

On a meta-level, him toying with it is him finding stability and comfort in his relationship with Rizeth, and it's a motif I try and use a lot because it's Important to Me.

(Birdman, of course, referring to werewolf au Crow, who is quite a distinct entity from regular au Crow and who I've been given complete custody of! <3 Never not grateful for being allowed to have just run with him!)

🍋  :    what kind of diet does my muse have?  do they eat regularly,  or the standard 2-3 meals a day?  do they have to be reminded to eat,  or are they likely to remind others?  do they cook,  or have others cook for them?  do they eat healthily,  or not so much?  

Crow's diet is absolutely all over the place, with very little consideration put into the nutritional value of his meals; he's more than happy to exist solely on greasy refuelling station kiosk food, but won't turn his nose up at a gourmet dinner if it's served to him (even if he doesn't recognise half the ingredients). Definitely doesn't need to be reminded to eat; he'll snack whenever he feels the need and can cook a few standard meals if the need arises (especially if he has access to a grill). He's probably going to get used to an abrupt raise in standards of his meals in the near future, though it might take him a while longer to actually appreciate it.

🥝  :    does my muse have any  ‘  unusual  ’  habits,  interests,  and  /  or talents?  do they hide it,  or are they proud of it?

Well. He definitely has made a bit of a habit of deserting/defecting from his current faction, hahaha, though he's not necessarily proud of every switch he's made, but he'd never try to hide the fact either. Aside from that, he's been gathering a collection of unusual cybernetics and upgrades of which he's very proud, and definitely has a leaning toward the unusual/unconventional. He tries to be mindful of the company he's in with regards to just how much he'll flaunt, though.

🥭  :    how important to my muse is their hometown,  or where they’re from?  are they proud of it,  or considered a hometown hero? did they move away,  or do they wish to?

Crow's earliest memories are of living on the streets and alleys of lower level Coruscant, and it's safe to say he has no particular attachment to that period of his life or the places he was forced to shelter. When he was taken in by his adoptive father, he came to see the ship, and even moreso the great expanse of outer space, as his home, and that has always meant more to him than any other physical space has. He's a man who likes to roam, and doesn't enjoy having his wings clipped.

🍇  :    how would my muse describe their childhood?  how much has it impacted the person they are now,  or will become as an adult?  around what age did they or will they start to mature,  and why?  do they wish to go back to their days as a child,  or have they embraced adulthood?

Crow would say that his childhood was lively, and dangerous, and taught him to live every moment as though it could be his last. He spent a lot of his formative years never being certain of what the next day would bring, and learned the value of having people's back; he learned to be generous, and open, and form connections with people swiftly and fiercely. Sometimes this has lead to forming connections with the wrong sorts of people, and the lessons he's learned from those associations have taught him more about his own values and convictions than anything else. 'Embracing adulthood' might be a bit of a stretch; Crow will be as naughty and frivolous as often as he can get away with, but he's definitely developed a level of emotional maturity that many of the broken beings around him have come to lean on.

🍑  :    how meticulously does my muse look after their physical appearance?  do they spend a lot of time on their hair,  makeup,  grooming,  and clothing?  is there a particular reason why they do or don’t?

Blackberries arguably don’t count if you define “colour” as “the wavelength of the light an object reflects rather than absorbs,” and since black objects don’t discriminately reflect any particular wavelength of the visible light spectrum, they don’t (technically) possess “colour” as such

And I mean. Technically green beans are the seed-bearing structure of flowering plants, which DOES make them a fruit.

Interesting thing about the colour “orange”! In the English language the colour is named after the fruit, but before English speakers encountered “oranges” (the fruit) they had multiple other words for “orange” (the colour), including “saffron” and “ġeolurēad” (literally “yellow-red”) or “ġeolucrog” (lighter orange, translates to “yellow-saffron”)
