1. How do they move and carry themselves? Pace, rhythm, gestures, energy?

Already answered but another detail – is that the goal in the way Saima carries themselves is to have a loose sense of composure. Like the way they gesture and carry themselves has a slight looseness to it but it’s still has a certain grace to it that’s hard to put a description on.

But the way they move, one can tell that there’s more than meets the eye to them. 

13. How do they greet the world — what is their typical attitude towards life? How does it differ in different circumstances, or towards different subjects? Why do they take these attitudes, and why do they change? How do these tend to be expressed?

Saima tends to greet the world with a casual skepticism. They consider themselves a realist but they tend to really have something of a wary idea towards the world. Their experiences of having been through a lot and subjugated has made them a lot more cautious about the way they interact with each others. 

They tend to keep this skepticism to themselves and only is expressed in moments where they can feel comfortable being candid with other colleagues. Otherwise, they tend to keep up a determined and hard-working face towards those around them. Since despite their wariness, they have every intention of continuing to do their best in spite of everything. 

41. What associations do they bring to mind? Words or phrases, images, metaphors or motifs? Why?

The blue sky, the Baltic Sea, the dark forests, the bogs, the fields of the countryside.

The way that there are two sides to the people – a winter self and a summer self – fitting for the seasons. The determination to thrive, the survival after all the years of being disparaged. 

The voices of people singing, the movement of people working, the sound of music from a performance. The bonfires during the summer, the smell of rye bread, the flight of the barn swallow.

Images, sights, sounds – associated with the ways that people live, survive and make the most of their existence. Images that make people think of their home and what it means to be where they are from.

  • ✿ What do you think about public call out posts?

I don’t hate them. They are definitely not my style because I’m an intensely private person and would much rather handle things personally. 

However, as a last resort, I don’t really hate them as a way of spreading information about someone if the situation calls for it. Obviously, I’d prefer if people talk to each other privately before taking it public. And of course, it is necessary to have ..receipts so to speak when making such public things. 

But people have to deal with situations in a way that they see is most fitting. 

What’s your rp pet peeve?

I guess I get kind of skeeved out when rp sometimes gets i… I don’t even want to say darker things because I’ve seen people write interesting takes about really troublesome situations but – I feel like there’s an instinctive line and I can’t obviously suggest it for others because I am not them.

But there’s a level where it goes beyond what I’m comfortable with and cease to understand the appeal of writing certain things.  But obviously, I don’t really follow those people at all – but I’ve heard of what some people are comfortable writing and can totally tell I’d not be down with seeing that on my feed. Mostly because of my personal background and how that influences what I can deal with.

How does one pronounce your URL and what does it mean?

The phrase is “see kes otsib teadmist” In terms of how it is broken up. 

I’d do an attempt at pronunciation for you but I’m in a coffee shop and am in no condition to do that at the moment. Though this guide might help you.

The phrase means “One who seeks knowledge” roughly. I thought the phrase was quite applicable to how Saam tends to operate in a way of perpetually trying to learn.

◎ Is there anyone who’s acceptance has meant more to you? Like you were worried about telling them who you are?

   They remain silent for a few moments. This question has struck them at a place they weren’t really certain they wanted to touch. “I .. I don’t really know how to answer that. I was incredibly worried in general about telling people. I still am, actually.  In in the midst of telling people, I’ve had to temper my expectations and prepare myself for people not understanding or wanting to get it. And I’ve been fighting with the internal feeling of maybe I shouldn’t tell – but.. people would notice the change. So I’d might as well be upfront about it. 

I’ve been lucky in that those I’ve told have been pretty good about it. So I’m pretty thankful for that. I guess. .. I guess those I was used to being affectionate with’s acceptance means a lot because I did have a fear because I don’t fit within the frame of who they usually go for that it would be the end. I’ve read that is something that happens to people so.. I was prepared for that to happen. I’m still not certain that it won’t.

who does he have unrequited feelings for, mun?

Uh. One is they – Saam no longer uses he/him pronouns. So please keep that in mind.

And two, it’s just a pattern of behavior Saam has. Like I can say most ships I do end up developing – end up originating with Saam being attracted to someone and operating under the assumption that they could never like them back. Usually they find out that they are wrong – ..but it’s a persistent theme with them. 

Three – I’m still working out the thoughts because this is a new interaction that the muse is interested in. And I’m not even sure it will go anywhere. But I wrote a little drabble about it over on @ridiculousnerdficthings if you want to find out about the latest case.
