#somnae things

Somnae was designed by and adopted from augusttrolls​!

-- Your name is Somnae Erican, and you have some trouble sleeping during the day. You do your best with what you’ve got going for you, but it’s kind of troublesome.

To put it bluntly, you are plagued with dreams of the damned and no amount of sopor frees you from this reality. It’s kinda just been your reality ever since you pupated. How does it work? Simple. You have a dream about someone, anyone at all that is about to kick the proverbial bucket. Then you watch them kick the bucket in the dream, sometimes through their own eyes and sometimes just as a bystander -- Once you have this dream, it becomes your business and problem to help this troll with whatever unfinished business they have on this mortal plane. More often than not, you are only able to help them after they’ve already died. You are shackled to the trolls spirit until you help them with the aforementioned business.

As an effect of these dreams, as we said, you do find it rather difficult to sleep during the day -- Not because of the fear of tethering spirits, but because of the gruesome ways you’ve seen trolls die. Yes, you’ve attempted trying to interfere with these deaths, but it never works out. They’ll just find a new and inventive way to die.

Because of your...condition...You’ve found that you are a lot more empathetic towards others. Now you don’t try to go out of your way to really engage with or help outside of unfinished business, you simply feel for their struggles or whatever.

The only real bond you have right now, and have been able to maintain, is your mate Sunney. He keeps you grounded, and helps you get back to sleep on the worse nights. He truly is a godsend, you think.

When you aren’t haunted by the ghosts of past, present, and future, you like to spend your free time skating around the city and taking in the sights there are to see.

❤️ What’s a ship that doesn’t involve your muse(s) that you love to see content of/for?

Hm hm hm. Newt and Chester have a new ship w/ their characters Apollo and Archer, respectively, and I’m really excited to see where it takes the boys! And what that means for the boys’ respective siblings and by that I mean

How much it means they get to be Bullied Real Good.

😥 What’s something you’ve been wanting to RP with your muse?

Feel like pure shit, just want someone to flirt w/ Lopard at his bar.

🗣 Everyone’s got a piece of themselves in their muse(s)- what piece did you put into this specific muse?

Okay so I’ve been meaning to make a character like Somnae for a while. I recently got the fire back under me because an episode of a certain podcast.

When I was about.. I wanna say 12 or 13? I had a dream that I was talking to a little girl and we just sat in the park and talked for a really long time. So when it was time to wake up she just stood up and smiled at me and said “I just wanted to meet you before I left.”

Later that day my mom told me that one of my cousins that lives in the Dominican Republic had passed away from cancer.

When I was 18 y/o my mom passed away, and when I turned 19 I had a dream of her telling me it was time to clean my room  because it was getting too messy.

And just last year my uncle passed away, I’ve been having dreams of him on and off but I don’t really remember.. But they’re about.

So I shoved all of those experiences directly into Somnae.

Honorable mention, up until about a few months ago I would said that Zurven had the most inconvenient dreams, since he had absolutely no control over his powers he would have a vision pretty much anytime he went to sleep. (Inconsequential. About people he doesn’t even know, we will never meet.) So while I wouldn’t call them nightmares, they would result in some pretty restless days. (Conversely, Orfuse does not have dreams at all).

Somnae also has inconvenient dreams because of their powers, and again while they aren’t straight up nightmares, all of the people that pop up in her dreams are people that well they are going to die shortly after her having the dream. Upsetting.

Reid, darling Reid suffers from night(day) terrors. He has PTSD from his stay over at casa de Lycaon, and was already a chronic victim of sleep paralysis. That’s not a good mix, if you were wondering. These days most of his nightmares revolve around that fucking man, but before he would have stress dreams about school, career, the future. He’s just a very nervous man. He hides it all under his inability to shut up.
