❛  oh ,  so  NOW  i’m  supposed  to  be  nice  and  make  friends ?  ❜ from venom, if i might be as bold 👀      @invctus​ : the good place

Eddie huffs out a short little breath as he walks, the chill in the air nice and bracing. He likes it.  

“ Yeah. I mean —— look, buddy, friends aren’t so bad, you know. Even, well, they’re good, sometimes. ” He gives a tight little smile to someone staring he passes on the street —— that kind’ve awkward yeah, yeah, I know, sort’ve whatcha-gonna-do, and he averts eye contact and sidesteps closer to the hanging awnings from the shops overhead where he’s got just a little bit more privacy.

IT   BREAKS   HER   HEART,         any   amount   of   uncertainty   from   the   brother   she’d   lost.      because   alexios   is   not   lost   to   her,      not   anymore,      and   kassandra   feels   the   universe   has   opened   up   within   her   heart.      everything   she’d   believed   having   been   dashed   aside   for   this   one   irrefutable   truth.      

                              ❝      do   you   not   know   me   at   all,      brother   ?      ❞            her   voice   is   quiet,      perhaps   uncharacteristically   so,      and   gentle         ---         as   though   the   wrong   tone   or   word   might   set   him   apart   from   her   once   more.      he   is   her   family,      and   she   will   not   lose   him   again.            ❝      did   you   truly   believe,      for   one   moment,      that   i   would   not   do   all   in   my   power   to   reunite   us   ?      ❞         no   matter   the   conflict,      no   matter   the   battle,      she   would   always   be   his   sister,      and   he      ---      her   family.

(   𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐚  𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭   )    @invctus​     :     did alcina have any body dysmorphia following her implantation of the cadou and the changes it brought to her body, or did she more easily accept her new height and 'dragon' form?

neither her new height nor the transformation came easy to her. the transformation itself was - and still is - a painful process : her cells clumping together into a dragon-like creature, and her fingers elongating into claws. the first transformation and the turmoil that followed, because even if alcina had calculated the outcome she couldn't have known that her hereditary blood disease would make her susceptible to hematophagy. the procedure itself, one alcina partially agreed to herself while also being submitted to cognitive control by mother miranda to reduce any doubt, must have taken a long time. mother miranda wanted results, adequate results to evaluate if alcina would make a suitable vessel for eva.

capcom kinda fucked up the english translation because they never disclosed that her height actually stems from her increased metabolism. each time she heals an external wound, she grows a little bit. 

the emotional distress that came with the implantation and the abrupt [ depending how abrupt. she could heal wounds instantly, but her height changed continuously and through prolonged experimentation ] change of her body, indirectly resulted in her compulsive need to maintain a good image. makeup, hair and attire have to be immaculate at all times to draw away from her height. dresses she had worn previously were discarded or readjusted.

asked : ‘i can’t lose you.’ tiger for alana stark? 

vision in. vision out. vision in. vision out. pepper ‘ s voice cuts through the burning that ‘ s eating through her skull. tiger ‘ s plea interrupts the electrical impulses that feel like they ‘ re eating her alive , rotting off limbs , body. hand shaking and the rest of that body is molten , melted. stark is helmet - less for the first time of her own will without an image inducer , and now the whole world knows who she is. but she did it. she did — 

“ i wo — wo — won ‘ t leave. “ 

does she have a choice ? the metal of that helmet has fused harshly in violent burns to her temple , shimmering scarlet. her flesh yields around and to it. her skin does not have a choice , and in spite of the blinding agony , stark ‘ s focus is struggling to keep a central point.

@invctus said : 7, 5! 

7. How would the peers of your muse describe them?

There are a couple of sides of him that people will see. For instance, in school as a teen, he would likely be very aloof and distant. He wasn’t raised / socialized with other children (besides his little sister); he’ll have difficulty navigating the social world. Not to mention the culture shock/discrimination he’ll experience as a youth moving to the US. 

As an adult, at work or going through his casual life, he puts in a lot of effort to seem approachable and friendly. He minds his own business, but he’ll smile politely if he meets eyes with someone. So, even as an adult he’ll maintain that aura of mystery and distance but, hopefully people think he’s nice?

TL;DR - distant, aloof, a bit quiet at first, friendly when approached, mysterious.

5. What keeps your muse up at night? An embarrassing thought, a dark memory, a funny memory, a loving one, or maybe even a sad one.

Two things that consistently keeps him up at night? 

1) The wrong he did to his sister. He left Xialing, with no contact or warning. She was a child, and he left her alone. That kind of hurt is irreparable, but he would give the world to make it up to her.
