Why-raven - The Blackest Night.

What's your role in the tragic play, Ren?

Was tagged by the lovely ⊹₊⋆ @why-raven ⊹₊⋆ in this quiz! Ty for thinking of me! I once took it for Oli last year. So, this time it was Ren's turn. And ofc, the result is pretty predictable c':

misunderstood villain

prepare for an onslaught of both the most dehumanizing and hateful takes, and flood of thirst comments. you are chronically misunderstood. whether or not you're actually evil is debatable. you may be acting out for revenge, to defend someone you love, or even just to protect yourself. you're a pretty jaded person. you don't trust or even really like most people. maybe you did at one point. but that part of you is gone, and you don't go a single day without grieving it. you think a lot about what your life could have been. you're stuck in the past. you're angry and maybe you don't even want to be, but this is the only way you can see to survive. you're open, but less in a trusting way and more like a wound. you don't like to let people see you, but the hurt spills out of you before you can stop it. you're impulsive, even as you try hard to plan and prepare. maybe someday your side of the story will finally be heard. until then, you can convince yourself that being hated is safer anyway.

I know lots of people have done this one in the past, so sorry if this is a re-tag! But throwing a few out to spread the fun around!

Ty for all the fun tags and head canon sharing friend!! I hope you are starting to settle back in to the tumbles! c: 🌺 send this to ten blogs you think are wonderful! 🌺

You’re most welcome! I’m glad you’re enjoying and having fun with them. (Do pardon me for spamming you with more of those, because sharing is caring!)

And thank you very much for listening patiently to my headcanon rambles! English isn’t my native language; sometimes I either struggle to get my point across or misunderstand others’ comments. I’m still learning to get better!

tragic role - maha

tortured love interest

you're so hot. sorry about the horrors. you're the kind of person people immediately notice. whether you have a distinct style, are more outgoing, or are just plain beautiful, you make an impression. people usually feel the need to protect you, which probably frustrates you to no end. you're not weak! you're not fragile! you're not helpless! but the people in your life tend to disagree. maybe it's your lover, the protagonist, trying to keep you out of their own turmoil. maybe it's someone responsible for you in some way, keeping you away from your lover, while they head down an increasingly dark path. regardless, all you really want is a sense of autonomy! unfortunately, you're very likely to die before that happens. the audience will be so caught up in the grief your death causes the protagonist that they forget to grieve you as a person. you deserved better, but unfortunately this is not your story. maybe it should have been.

18. Has your OC ever had a prophecy made about them? Was it a big deal or did they ignore it? Was it straightforward or cryptic? Did it ever come to pass or did they circumvent it?

(GET TO KNOW THE OC ASKS — for Maha!)

Well, no such thing as a 'prophecy', per se, but there are two things about Maha that are somewhat similar.

The first is that she believes she has been cursed by Nymeia. Blessed and cursed, actually. She is extraordinarily lucky at times, and then extremely unlucky at others. It makes her life pretty chaotic and she hates it, but at the same time, sometimes it's fun for her. With her taking as many risks as she does, she can't help but pay at least some lip-service to the goddess, and believes this has attracted her ire over the course of time.

The second is that Maha possesses the Echo. She doesn't know why or what it's fully capable of (as she doesn't have access to avenues of knowledge that the WoL does) but she takes it in stride as just another vehicle for divination. IIRC the Echo is different for everyone; for Maha, it allows her to peer into the future rather than the past, and the thing that triggers it the most is when a promise or declaration of duty is made and she's able to witness its outcome, to an extent.
