What is the biggest and most important goal you have set for yourself?

MxTomieLeave a comment

   “Goals? I find goals to be a strange concept honestly. I find them to be much more useful to those that have limited lifespans and not much time on their hands. So of course, they would have to meet certain goals.

Me? I.. I’ve got almost too much time on my hands. So I’ve done a lot of what I’ve wanted to do over the years. But, I guess I want to work on being happier. At least recently, that’s my more recent goal. I’ve been playing a role that’s taken a toll and moving away from that is probably the best thing I’ve done for myself in a while. So…I guess not being so self-sacrificial if it can be helped.”

– What is the dumbest thing you have ever done to impress someone? Were they impressed or was it all for naught?

   “Ah. I’ve done a number of foolish things in an attempt to impress someone. A few centuries back when I had been trying to pretend to be an average citizen, I had attempted to court a young woman in the village. I attempted to write a song to commemorate her personality and all that I admired about it. Unfortunately, I didn’t seem to realize she was a visitor at best and was only going to be there for maybe a week or so further. By the time I actually performed the song for her – it was on the day she was going to leave.

And..so. I don’t really know if she was ever impressed. I never got the chance to find out. I assume probably not.  When flustered, my wordplay is probably not at its best.”

  “During the national awakening, I definitely kept the company of a ton of writers and was able to share some of my earliest memories from my physical form. Of course, it was taken to just be stories – but they were much more accurate than most people would be aware of.

Worth noting that my earliest memories aren’t even of the land but of the mythos regarding the creation of the world. So I guess you could say I’m connected to a place where those origin stories are all true and how that connects to this world. ”

    “There are time periods where I’ve definitely hidden away from the human world for long amounts of time. In fact, I’ve done this kind of reclusive activity as recently as a lot of the twentieth century.  Of course, it was easy for many not to notice I was out of the way since my people didn’t have much contact with the Western world for multiple decades of that. Since it was an incredibly stressful time for people and the best thing for me to do was to support those who tried to keep their spirit alive through gathering in the forests whenever possible. And I might have inadvertently served as a kind of muse for creative types during appearing in what some consider to a dream every so often.”

11. What’s a thread you’d like to do in the near future?

[In the near future – I’ve just really want to see Saima to build relations with more deity-type folks to kind of have that sort of community to depend on. I’d also like to focus on exploring liminal spaces where nothing feels real and why Saima seems to like those places so much. 

I’d also like to do more focus on the way that Saima has changed and really come into themselves – just in the way that they interact with others. 

I low-key kind of want something affectionate for them but honestly, I have no idea where that would even come from to be honest. So that’s kind of in the back-burner.]

  1. What’s something that would make you unfollow a mutual?

Ah I guess – if they weren’t active for like several months and didn’t seem to have any chance of returning. Uh, if that person had been called out I guess (I’m reluctant to use the term personally but.. ) for responding like especially badly to criticism. 

Coming after me, in general, will get you unfollowed unless we can work things out in private because I generally try not to cause no issues. But I’ve had my sore spots in retrospect. So I’m personally working on it to the best of my ability.

  1. Three big no-nos to do or say to your muse. (their ‘berserk button) 

 Big No’s

– Don’t insult their homeland

– Don’t be condescending towards them because they really can not stand that.

– Don’t hurt their friends where they can actually catch you doing so. Hell, don’t even be condescending towards the way their friends try to live their lives. That tends to provoke an anger that they have hidden from others.

  1. Would you get along with your muse?

Yeah, I think I’d get along with Saima pretty well. I’m a mythology dork at heart and they pretty much embody a certain mythos so clearly I’d be a little in awe of them. But we could both mutually dork out about music and good food and space. I don’t know – I think we have enough to be able to hang out and have a good time together.
