✔ For whichever one of my muses you like most OwO

A QUICK AND EASY PLOTTING GUIDE ! | OOC MEME | ACCEPTING

HELLO YUE!! I won't lie to ya, chief; you've given me a tricky task here! Picking my favourite muse out of your catalogue is like choosing my favourite kind of chocolate, and let me tell you, I have a SWEET TOOTH! Haha!

So, I've cut this post for brevity's sake, but I chose a wild card assortment!

So, in order, I put down

Asteria because my wife. I MEAN because thematically, I think these two would naturally have interactions, with Astaria being a lore-keeper and Amity filling a similar cultural role in Saijikara and Amity being a part of the Pokemon league. Asteria is (presumably) involved with the greater institution as the Hoenn champion, SO YOU SEE WHAT I'M GETTING AT HERE.

Cynthia for similar reasons but also because geographically, she's just a lot closer to Saijikara and Amity by extension. Amity and Cynthia have a similar kind of curiosity and I think it would be interesting to smoosh that together? I don't have the words to perfectly describe it, but they both have a curious but respectful air that, like, I would trust them to go into a tomb and not be a clown about it and instead sit down in the dusty darkness for an hour writing down all the glyphs to translate later. Also, because SPIRITOMB CLUB SPIRITOMB CLUB, if a collection of hundreds of souls can vibe with you and want to help serve your cause, you KNOW you're in good company - safety not considered! Haha

Nathanael because it would fascinating in a 'this is going to go down like a cherry bomb thrown into a bathroom,' not because she can't vibe with his personality (she's very patient and is spectrum/has grown up with others on the spectrum so she's completely missing that trait that gives her friction over some social cues not being followed, (Amity is oblivious, she's aware but doesn't track the following/not following) ) or because she inherently disagrees with his stances, cause honestly she doesn't! It's just the combination of both, the N 'charm,' being questioned and put on the defence, especially in regards to questioning her Pokemon Team (which is ACTUALLY her found family, not in the 'tee hee close friend group' way but like, Whinnie adopted her, he considers her sister, Magnus followed, and others trickled in to form what she calls her coven, they've been the only present family structure she's had since she was 8 and Whinnie rescued her from certain death in the forest - especially given the toxic family unit she returned to after and her mother legitimately coming to hate her - and they were her direct lifeline in raising her siblings. Poking at that is one of the only ways to genuinely get her to break character and get legitimately enraged, which probably would happen) I just - I would kill to see Amity genuinely pushed to express a negative emotion on the main - BUTTTT BUT BUT BUT, I am OFTEN wrong about Amity's reaction to things and how she takes the wheel in regards to herself - Amity wasn't meant to have ADHD, but that evolved naturally. Aside from the entertainment of a blow-up, it could be interesting if they could be civil. I mean - when was the last time Amity got to speak about Saijikara, not about her role appointed and being digestible to an outside audience but just- her genuine thoughts and feelings about it and the change of outside pressure pushing in to wipe away both unpleasant history that still lurks in the corners of your mind in the waking present and the traditions that you hold close to your identity. (also because I can see her lore dumping and N going 'wow, ANYWAYS,' and I think that'd be REAL funny)

AND VOLO -- but Volo mainly because, like, doing this meme WITHOUT including him would be like going to a shrine and not leaving a tithing. I have to pay the Volo tax and give him some attention! It's the law of the land! Haha

My muse(s): Amity De Claire - Joy + Her Pokemon Team & the Coven (Noriko Joy, Orin Fournier, Yuhuza Sataoi, Yvita & Yvona Joy + close family friends like Mako) the whole song and dance of everyone on the property! Y'feel!

FOR ASTERIA:

Do I know your muse(s): yes | no | a little | tell me about your muse

Pre-established relationships? yes | no | depends on the relationship

Note: The crossed-off ones are the only ones I can't really see happening. The bold ones are the 'OH YEAH PROBABLY' quick and easy roles I can see Ami slotting into; italics are dependant on verses, for example, roommates if they're travelling for a league thing and are designated randomly assigned roommates, and everything else is possible! If you see something you want to proceed with, then let's plot!!

FOR CYNTHIA:

Do I know your muse(s): yes | no | a little | tell me about your muse

Pre-established relationships? yes | no | depends on the relationship

Note: The crossed-off ones are the only ones I can't really see happening.

FOR N:

& OBLIGATORY VOLO TAX (imagine I am holding this trickster fairy man at knife point because I am, I love him but I am going to beat him with a wiffle ball bat for Volo Crimes asdhasd)

Do I know your muse(s): yes | no | a little | tell me about your muse

Pre-established relationships? yes | no | depends on the relationship

✔ !!! With whatever muses you can see fitting, please!

BUNNI!!!! Holy heck your worldbuilding and character building have me by the THROAT! It's always such a joy to see someone with as much passion and dedication for your muses such as yourself, and given you were so thrilled about my muses you did this meme for four of them, I want to return your enthusiasm! Here are several more muses who I could really see interacting with Amity OwO

My muse: Shirona Yurasova. Evil!Cynthia loves to piggyback on the reputation of the good Cynthias in the multiverse to gain an equally good reputation herself, so if Amity has a good relationship with regular Cynthia, Shirona is sure to follow along...For less than pleasant reasons >:3

Pre-established relationships? yes | no | depends on the relationship

My muse: Volo Asimov and Shirona Navi (bio for Volo here--lmao I forgot to properly link it.) The Fallenverse version of Volo isn't just highly connected with a god, he IS a god--and he's more noble than regular Volo...That is, unless you press certain buttons of his which show he can be just like his mainverse counterpart. Shirona Navi is his six-year-old daughter and the second reincarnation of his sister Shirona, who he is wildly overprotective of.

Interactions could be fun because in his universe Asimov is literally a fuckin' Girarceus (more explanation on how he got to be that way can be found in the Fallenverse document of my Info tab). Asimov, being a deity, would be able to sense the Legendary Vespedoza inside Amity (Volo could too, but he might also only get a less intense picture of it), and he would want to help her navigate this situation--but he would want to do it in a way that doesn't involve exposing it to her right away, as he believes that could put her in danger. Meanwhile, Shirona might also sense something different about Amity and be fascinated with her, with Asimov being "no you're not going NEAR her" because he's afraid Vespedoza might hurt Shirona, especially through Amity. But Shirona doesn't always like being told what to do by her dad and would go to see Amity anyway >:3 things could get interesting!

Pre-established relationships? yes | no | depends on the relationship

My muse: Wallace. Fun fact about my Wallace, I base him a lot on the pianist Franz Liszt--the fact that Wallace is considered the greatest Coordinator of all time capable of technical feats that no one else can do is one of the aspects in which he is like this! But another way in which Wallace resembles Liszt is that he has a spiritual side and he takes it very seriously. Liszt was actually a Catholic priest in his later life, which I think works well for a Wallace-Liszt parallel because the way I see it, Wallace canonically has spiritual duties--such as the fact he guards Sky Pillar! You mentioned Amity also having a Lorekeeper-like spiritual side in your last post, I think if these two met I could explore the spiritual aspects of Wallace's life more. Maybe she could meet him along with Zinnia, Steven and Asteria? It could be fun!

Something else I thought of is--I remember from Amity's bio that she had to give up dancing in order to take care of her siblings. If Wallace ever heard about that, he would feel so saddened--he's very big on making the arts more accessible to others and has helped a lot of kids with high ambitions in tough situations. So if she or any of her Pokémon were ever interested in dancing again he could help her (or her Pokémon independently of her) take it up again.

Pre-established relationships? yes | no | depends on the relationship

My muse: Brendan. Brendan is easily the softest and squishiest out of all of my muses. He is shy, doesn't like to make waves, and scared of everything--especially ghosts. I already have a thread with @/cursedmystic's Matsuba where he goes to his Gym and is petrified out of his mind because it's so spooky, with the intention that he learns to fear ghosts less--maybe Amity could help with that as well, the more the merrier!

Pre-established relationships? yes | no | depends on the relationship

Do I know your muse(s): yes | no | a little | tell me about your muse

For context, in my previous post, I alluded to the fact that Amity will give buttons from her vast, storied collection to people who mean something to her—not as gifts for gifting sake, exactly—but as an expression of love—to physically represent how much they mean to her, her trust in them, her enjoyment of their companionship, friendship, and simply being in her life.

You see, Amity's culture isn't one where you tell each other 'I love you' openly: to the Saijikari, word is wind. It's poor form, no, it's humiliating for the person you're speaking to and to yourself, to make proclamations without weight when you can communicate such things through less distasteful means. To the Saijikari, you show your care through actions, gifts, and the age-old art of gestures. And, to Amity, even the small buttons are a big gesture in a little package.

The buttons mean a lot to her—they're comforting to her—she collects them after all, and her favourite ones have emotional value beyond their considerable monetary worth. But more than that, it's the thought—finding one that speaks to her and reminds her of her personality, interests, and spirit, that je ne sais quois.

She puts effort behind it, even if it seems off the cuff in the moment—because that button, that one she had in mind, she's been carrying and waiting for a time when it feels natural to pass it over, so the understated meaning is best exemplified.

But with this being said! The buttons she'd give some of Yue's ( @forjustice ) muses and the whys and circumstances for each one!

ASTERIA

THE BUTTON: A tiny thing, barely larger than your pinkie nail, yet it's breathtaking in the way an ancient building surrounded by forest captures your attention. Grasping it, the button threads itself perfectly between two fingers as though inviting you to run your fingers over its polished surface. Doing so and looking at each painted detail, from the gilded gold branches and red paint, it's almost as if you can sense the history that pulses within— of the hours the artisan sat with precision to paint the pattern and the careful consideration weighing both iron and porcelain,

For Context,in My Previous Post, I Alluded To The Fact That Amity Will Give Buttons From Her Vast, Storied

WHY?: It's a reminder—the painted red leaves of a fall canopy—their brief meeting shouldn't be the end, not in the slightest. Parting without resolution and a bittersweet smile that can only hide Amity's disappointment at how short their meeting was. Amity invites them, if they ever have the chance, to follow the northern wind to the Sovereign Domain of the Seasons, give her region and home a chance, and take their challenge—should the day come, Amity will be waiting with the might of Autumn at her back to test Asteria's mettle and savour in the much-awaited rematch.

WALLACE

THE BUTTON: Disk-like and wide, one could only imagine the sort of finery this button was once attached to; it doesn't seem like it could have been clothing, though. It sits in the palm of a hand, and its delicately embossed patterns, rising like wave crests above the cool, smooth porcelain, negate that possibility. It's reminiscent of the Poleis seaside— the distant song of wind chimes and shoes padding down old stone roads, white homes contrasting against a backdrop of endless azure waves, paldean-style tiles, side by side in a line to break the monotony but drawing the eye's attention; no two patterns are the same, each hand-painted and laid— You feel nostalgic for the summer just thinking about it.

WHY?: I wish I had a profound reason for this, but I'm blanking. Amity gifted it to him after they met during a contest; Amity lost, of course. She's not a contest trainer, but 'never leave a stone unturned,' she wanted the experience, and she got it, and it seemed that the kindness she had been shown left an impression. She gave him this button— presumably as thanks, if nothing more. The most profound meaning it seems to hold is its colour and pattern— she certainly hit his fashion dead on the head.

BONUS! For VOLO, specifically based off of that one verse where he scruffs her like a naughty kitten after her body is stolen by Vespodoza to keep Vespodoza pinned down to 'deal with it once and for all' when it emerges, meanwhile she gets adopted emotionally in the chaos because she's just a little guy. But, like, it applies to any Volo!

THE BUTTON: It can be described in one word: worn. Held in a person's palm, the button feels thin and fragile, with little weight to keep it centred. You feel compelled to cup your hands to keep it from blowing away; something tells you if you lost it, you'd never find it again. For the most part, it seems a run-of-the-mill, aged, working man's button— something that has outlived the original clothing it was attached to and been passed down, one jacket or sweater to the next— yet, there's something about it that seems to reject its mundanity. The once vibrant lustre now stands as a muted brass, glimmering pathetically in the light despite itself. Its surface — worn smooth and discoloured from the unforgiving passage of time — belays little of the patterns that once were etched into it. And its face, permanently etched in a soft smile, staring up at the world that has worn it down like a stone shaped by rivers might, and yet, it shows no sadness; it belays no melancholy — only warmth, radiating with each pass of the finger across its surface. It's lived a long life and adorned the clothing of many, yet it holds no regrets for the life placed upon it.

WHY?: It's a grounder— a small token that urges you to pay attention; we are all as small as buttons beneath the eyes of the cosmos, and we can all grasp for something greater— throw ourselves to the mercy of the stars, but we aren't meant for that world, a button to the stars is still a button. This world, ever vast and exciting, is our gift— all the beautiful insignificant problems we face are everything in the face of eternal nothingness. Never forget to look outside yourself and the beauty of the stars to the flawed, imperfect and wonderful world around you. From one storyteller to another, don't let yourself be absorbed by the story.
