There are so few verses in which this muse lets things be. If he's intimate with another muse enough to fuck them, love is often a requirement. He needs a modicum of familiarity, even when drunk, a complete understanding that Ren, especially Ben, hopes will instinctively form so he doesn't have to work at it. For Star Wars verses, mutual respect must precede sex. In all verses, trust is paramount. Kylo Ren doesn't put his hands on anything he doesn't trust. He can do anything at all from a distance.

Music!Ben is similar in that regard; his image is powerful, so he can hone almost everything about himself into a guileful tool, his body, his words, his music, the mere idea of himself—even the batshit bad shit.* He's the only modern variant with an active and healthy* sex life, the only one taking you home to tease you with toys and then nibble on your earlobe and quite possibly hold you all night like he loves you. Even then, if all goes well, he'll want another round sometime. He'll think up a new game to play.

Ex-Con!Ben would most likely 'let things be,' if 'let things be' means 'letting the part of you that died stay dead.'

we know that rhys had the neck tattoo by the time of tales of the borderlands, and the character designers have stated that it was meant to represent that despite rhys wanting to conform to hyperion standards, he was "also more than a typical hyperion cog"

(from the gearbox rhys cosplay guide)

so in my mind it's a nice little metaphor for his futile struggle in trying to be the perfect hyperion company man-- no matter what he does, he can't get rid of who he is. it's also a tattoo that he designed himself, in my mind, because i have this personal headcanon that art is one of the few hobbies he has that he doesn't monetise or try to monetise. how else do you express yourself in an environment meant to stifle everything about you so you belong to the normal majority?

as for his torso tattoos, this is the concept art of rhys shirtless:

and while he has his hyperion data slicer and his hyperion trousers in this concept, in my mind he only has the twin suns done after the fall of helios as a reminder to himself of where he came from and all the death that he personally caused. i mean, the sun on his chest looks very much like a sun that is falling down -- because he sent helios crashing onto pandora. which makes it extra fucked up that there's a whole bandit cult worshiping him for that exact thing he has to live with for the rest of his life, lmao

Absolutely ADORE their mun, I struggled a little to get into the rp fandom space for Borderlands (I'd never been in it before so my choosing MORDECAI first kinda had me panicking since he's so loved lmfao) but they eased me to the space (well helped me dive head-first but shh) and I cannot thank them enough for it.

@shuuhuu | what fandom discourse would there be surrounding my character if they were canon?

🌙: Where is the most unusual place they’ve fallen asleep at?

More & More! Headcanons / @shuuhuu​​

D.eath Star maintenance room. Being Director of the DS comes with a few perks , and that includes intimate knowledge of the entire battlestation and its operations. Unfortunately it does mean that he’s bothered at all hours , including for things like “Director , there was a fight in the cantina” , “Director , Kalma — “ ( Sorry @auroradicit​ , he’s out the second her name pops up ahahaha ).

But anyways , one time he retreated to one of the maintenance room and fell asleep. It caused quite a panic.

Her black-stained lips smiled with an almost shine to them. Isolabella held her hand up, and green light seemed to emanate off of it and caused the talisman around her neck to glow slightly.
