Saam tends to have a very skeptical attitude towards people. It usually comes out when someone asks them about their past and whether it effects how the view others to this day. It becomes apparent that they have little to no expectations of their colleagues and the distrust is very really. They rarely express it but it is a reason that they may come across as fairly elusive when interacting with others.

[Saam probably has business cards with S. Vaher listed as their name so they could go by Saam vs Saamuel. And it’s a little better to accommodate going by Saima which is what they are considering as of recently as well.]
charcoal, ink
Charcoal – on a scale of one to ten how would you rate your survival skills?
“I’d say at least 7-8. I’ve got a way of surviving things that by all common sense, I really shouldn’t have. There have been multiple attempts to eliminate me completely and I survived that – so I think I’m pretty decent at this. And I’m good at being able to make the most of my surroundings.”
Ink – write your autobiography in one sentence
“Always trying to do better and improve – despite the past’s attempts to keep me from doing so.”
Hickory
Hickory – How smart are you? Would you consider yourself more book smart or street smart?
“I’m not one to brag or anything but I would say rather smart. I have learned a whole lot over the years and been able to use that for my needs. I would say I am more book smart these days. Although initially, I had built up in other kinds of smarts over the years in order to survive.”

- 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, opal
- 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!
amethyst: what my muse would most like to be able to shape-shift into
Maybe a bird. To just fly away somewhere – that’d be pretty nice as far as Saam is concerned.
And maybe just being to shift themselves ever slightly, that would just be cool.
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.
The crystals beginning with S
- 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.
