“I find you interesting. You have a presence that I feel like has a lot of tales and stories behind it. Although you’re not one to share those with the likes of me all that often, I do often wonder a little bit.

I still appreciate having the chance to confide in you a bit. You seem like someone who wouldn’t spread things around too much and so I wouldn’t be opposed to saying more. But only if you wanted, I would never dump thoughts on anyone without consideration.

 I appreciate the way that you approach work – as that is a trait I can respect in a colleague. Hard-working but still able to make time for what you like to do. 

There was a point where I had more to say here but it’s funny how passing idle thoughts can go so quickly. 

For now, I just think about having a good drink somewhere with you sometime. Might not be a bad option. ”

     “So I care about you a lot. You know, I do. But there are some things I can’t help but think about. I can’t help but wonder how long you are going to let some of those unaddressed issues you have fester. You need help for that and I know you do but I can’t make you do anything you don’t want to. I’m the last person who would dare try. 

But I do worry in that sense. And yeah, there are some leftover feelings of inadequacy because there are those that may think I’m just trying to be included in …somewhere I don’t belong. When that’s not the case and it aggravates me just thinking about it. .. That’s not about you though. 

I do admire you, and I do look up to what you’ve managed to accomplish. There is a reason I like working with you these days. So yeah, there it is.”

  • aegerine: my muse’s opinion of the supernatural

Saamuel is fascinated by the supernatural and tends to adhere to traditional beliefs about it. It often results in having cautious behavior around places that are said to be haunted and trying to treat such entities with the respect that are attributed to them. 

They like reading up on different stories about encounters in other places just to see how the supernatural is characterized and how much location tends to actually influence it.

  • apatite: a headcanon about my muse’s intuition

Saam’s intuition is incredibly sensitive. There are moments in their life that they have avoided notice or injury solely because of it. It tends to hint at moments where they need to move or to not trust someone. Saam finds it very useful when presented with a number of limited options and not enough time to do a more detailed analysis of what outcomes may come out of things.

  • jasper: what my muse would be like as a parent

Saamuel would actually make a pretty caring parent although they’d be incredibly nervous about the whole parenthood thing, convinced that they’d suck at it.. They’d encourage their kid to try stuff but still be around to make sure no one gets seriously hurt. They’d indulge a lot of silly stuff that a child might be into and play games with them. They’d be doting in a way.  Sure the kid might have a few things planned out for them but Saam appreciates time for a child to just kind of hang out for a little bit and would allow for that.

At the same time, Saam has a way of trying to be a good example of how to contribute to the world around them and would focus on making sure their kid would be willing to do the same.

  • ruby: a happiness headcanon

Happiness is something of a rare feeling for Saamuel. However, they do feel a lot more content and at least close to happy these days. It’s mostly because they’ve started acting on feelings that they’ve kept close to their heart for a long, long time and find that they are much more comfortable than they have been in a while. So, I feel like happiness is closely associate with comfort with their self for Saam. 

Opal has been answered already!

rhodonite: if my muse prefers elegance or convenience

This answer really ends up shifting over time. I think in the end convenience tends to win out because that is what they are used to. They are used to trying to find convenient and practical ways of handling situations.

But they are weak for elegance, they do aspire to it in modest ways. I don’t know, I think the way that they move tends to imply a thought and care towards presenting.

  • sapphire: if everyone my muse knew was hanging off a cliff and they could only choose three to save, the rest certainly dying, who they would choose

Uh. I mean most of those people are nations and would likely end up returning anyway. So they would be likely to prioritize humans instead. 

But out of muses, this is difficult because I think Saam would definitely choose Jaakko no matter what. But otherwise, they would have to think about who they could realistically save. Uh. Maybe I’ll just go with types of people – another close friend (Bas, Cecile, Lilli, Emma – are potential examples) and a partner (depending on verse). 

  • serpentine: how my muse would seduce another [alt: how my muse makes their money]

Seduce? Depending on the other person  – suggestive messages and photos, using teasing and the sound of their voice. Touches that hint at more, undressing themselves for another. Those sort of things I guess. Saamuel has to be incredibly comfortable with someone though to try this.

  • silver: if my muse prefers masculinity or femininity

Femininity. There’s a reason that they’ve been choosing to present in a more casually femme way lately.  It’s what they feel more comfortable pursuing although in their own personal way.

Although in the end, it’s all kind of whatever for Saam.

opal

  • opal: how creative my muse is

Saamuel is rather creative, at least in terms of musical spaces. They often spend free time experimenting with creating songs or doing covers. They also tend to try their hand at just trying to see what kind of new sounds they can get involved with.

Otherwise, they do a solid amount of fiction and poetry writing inspired by some of the more unusual instances in their life. However, it has yet to be seen by anyone outside of local friends that they write with.
