Send a 👫and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship | @riftdancer

Shu and Sophie

Though sharing a common language, Shu and Sophie face a lot of perplexity over the different sayings and conjugations that American English and British English provide. It goes beyond the mishaps of what a "rubber" means or which "pants" they are referring to, but the idioms made the seamstress pause in their communications. Given her curiosity, she sat down with the man, pulling out her pocketbook and pencil from her skirt. Row by row, she has an onslaught of questions for Shu as he lights a cigarette, prepared for the longest two hours of his life. If he tries ending the topic before she is satisfied, she would interject and tap the booklet, telling him that it would not take much longer.

While Shu is annoyed by Crow, Sophie has a higher tolerance for his personality. This revelation chuffs Crow that he so takes a woman, but she is very forward in expressing how much he reminds him of someone (read: her youngest sister) she helped raise. The hired man does not comment on the subject, but he is not exactly hiding his amusement over Crow's dejection. Meanwhile, the seamstress grows confused over how Crow shuffles away and proceeds to hide in his office.

Outside of her traditional expertise in textiles, Sophie takes any opportunity to try herself in new crafts. When Shu showed up one day with plain hair pins pushing his fringes from his face, the woman tapped her chin with her index finger, her mind beginning to piece together a new opportunity to try something. Much to Shu's confusion, though he feigns indifference, he finds himself with a growing collection of themed hairpins. The latest pair was inspired by Teuta's story of the group's newly adopted cat. It was molded and hand-painted by the seamstress. This pair has also gotten some popularity in the group, considering that Teuta would like a pair herself.

◌・❀➵ In the past the small pinkette could have simply asked her brother to find any information she needed, but those were days long gone. Any information she wished to acquire know had to be discovered itself, especially in a world far from her own. And there was no better way to obtain information than using advertisements!

◌・❀➵ Hundreds of hand drawn advertisements littered the town she was staying in, 'Info wanted! On this man (Jude) please come to the inn! Gald for useful info!'

Questions for the Mun - Accepting!

🌟 - Who was your very first rp muse?

Hermione Granger from Harry Potter, in what feels like a million years ago. My first OCs + Relena Peacecraft from Gundam Wing soon followed.

💔 - What’s something you dislike about your muse?

I think this question has two answers, really: what do I dislike about the muse based on what's given/shown in canon, and what do I dislike about the muse due to the fandom.

For the canon, there are times where I just hate seeing Sonia being taken advantage of/teased/etc. because she's sheltered and just doesn't know better, but she also doesn't effectively stand up for herself a lot either. Maybe it's some of the tropes DR puts her in, but I'd love to be a bit more snarky to characters who are being rude, as opposed to issuing commands that never really stick.

Additionally, and these aren't really Sonia's fault but how she's written: why give her military knowledge and prowess and not let her USE IT? Yes, having all weapons and methods of transport disabled in the Neo World Program simulation makes sense, but at the end of DR3 where she just...encourages Kazuichi instead of picking up a gun or driving a tank? For as ridiculous as DR can be at times, surely they could fit some sort of military vehicle onto that ship that she could commandeer. Super lame.

And don't get me started on her free time events. I love some of what the free time events reveal, but the whole bit of "Hajime looks like this hero of legend and I'll just happily co-rule and give him power equal to mine in Novoselic!" thing is just not okay to me. I don't like it. Therefore, my Sonia is the monarch and any partner she takes is her consort, end of story.

For the popular fandom opinions, I abhor the take of "Sonia is useless/her talent is useless and sucks, Sonia should have died to give Kazuichi character development/Hiyoko could have lived, Sonia is boring" arguments. And of course the Get rid of Sonia so we can have Kazuichi/Gundham" take. I had this issue in the Gundam Wing fandom long ago with people hating Relena because she got in the way of Heero/Duo.

Y'all, these are bad takes. Don't do it. There is nothing wrong with being a kind, generous, friendly, compassionate female character.

🎲 - Do you have a favorite board game?

When I was younger, it was definitely Clue and Trivial Pursuit! To the point that I gave Sonia Cluedo as a favorite childhood game growing up: I think she'd enjoy it.

As an adult, I still love trivia, but I also enjoy Betrayal at House on the Hill and Cards Against Humanity. The horror, of recalling facts at the drop of a hat, a haunted house, and seeing just how much of a terrible/sarcastic person you can be.

“Hey, Leia. How’re you doing?”

Surprisingly? Jude seemed to be in pretty good shape for their meeting that day. He’d actually convinced himself to get a decent amount of sleep and hadn’t been neglecting his other needs. That was likely due to hitting another wall in trying to figure out how to improve his Spyrite technology. He still had no idea how to go about it without unintentionally trying to control the Spirits they used. The lab itself didn’t look to be in too bad of a shape, either.

“Anything interesting been going on with your reports lately?” Jude genuinely wanted to know that much. After all, he knew how much of her heart and soul she put into her job. It wouldn’t be Leia if she didn’t.

NEXT, the strange yet fascinating phenomenon that happened around the world all of a sudden. Everyone wanted to know more about it--some wanted nothing of it, others were scared of it, others abused it, etc etc. Humans will misuse the new ‘gift’ that was given to them when they don’t know how to use it properly. 

The same very reason why researches embarked on their scientific journey to figure out what is this phenomenon--NEXT. Balan was one of them, he was simply intrigued by it. To think human beings can over come their limits--whether physical or mentally and things which were considered ‘magical’ and ‘CGI feats’. The wonders of NEXT in medicine and in science! In archelogy, in architecture, even in agriculture! Humans will be prosperous! That of course, if there were researched properly and the fruits of these researches were used in proper projects.

His phone buzzed and Balan picked it up to see a message of the new gifted NEXT kid is arriving today. “Wonderful!” hastily picking up his stuff, he ran down to the first floor to get ready to welcome the new kid. Balan had read his file and he does not need to be a psychiatrist to know how to handle this poor lad. Any child of his age would either go through something similar or have a blessed family who would be thrilled to have a NEXT in their home. Sadly for Shane, he was the former--his family treated him like a monster. Balan knows that his mental health is at its lowest so he better work on that first before anything NEXT related.

There is a rather important package being delivered into the Helioborg Research Center today. Although it might appear to be a wholly unremarkable rock at first glance, it is also emitting a faint, rhythmic humming sound, and warping the air around itself ever so slightly.
