22. What are their favourite insults to use? What do they insult people for? Or do they prefer to bitch behind someone’s back? - Aelynthi, Melarue, and Saethil because SASSSSSS <3 <3
Sass Squad, ok, let’s do this!
Aelynthi: Aelynthi’s insults are sarcastic and biting and cut to the quick, at least when he’s REALLY meaning to insult someone. He has a tendency to say curt things to the people he likes “like calling Victory a giant idiot a lot” but when he’s actually insulting someone, they know. He doesn’t have the grace that his nanae does in the delivery, but it still hurts. He insults people mostly when they’ve been a jerk to either himself or people he knows...or even strangers. His social justice meter is pretty high, he’ll go for anyone he thinks needs a good verbal beatdown. He’ll complain about people a lot, but mostly this is rants to his friends and others in his mage advocacy groups.
Melarue: Melarue’s insults are so beautiful done and set up that the person just stands there wondering how it happened. They’ve just been publicallly humiliated in the most epic of fashions, and they can’t even come up with a comeback. All their exit routes have been blocked. They have dug their own grave and now they have to lie in it and wonder at the beauty of that insult that just murdered them.Â
Melarue insults people for all kinds of reasons, but mainly when they’ve just had it with the person they are talking to...like if they’ve just seen the person do something horribly rude to someone else, or say something racist or derogatory, etc. They are not the type to bitch behind someone’s back...unless they’re planning to destroy someone so utterly that they’re working on spreading rumors about said person.Â
Saethil: Saethil’s got a dry humor that translates into her insults. She’s also got Resting Bitch Face that terrifies whoever she’s insulting most of the time. Her insults are usually dry, short, and blunt, all laced with her own blend of sass. When you’ve got to deal with Fortitude’s oblivious ass all the time, you learn how to let even the most dense of foes know they’re being insulted, while still being tasteful.  Saethil usually insults people when they’re incompetent, or have done something just so radically moronic that she can’t keep her mouth shut. Or when dealing with most of Sylaise’ followers, they just bring it out in her. Andruil’s too, those cocky assholes...Saethil won’t bitch behind someone’s back, she’ll tell them straight to their face, and wait to see if they’ll muster the courage to do something about it.
So basically: Aelynthi’s victims want to cry, Melarue’s are left in awe over their own evisceration, and Saethil’s are usually terrified.
