[`is this a little something for saima? it is! it’s a tiny black pot, securely fastened shut and decorated with a light blue bow for the sake of presentation. alongside that is an origami rose, white in color with a golden foil stem rolled with care. and, if saima peeks under the pot, there’s a note:

❝hi!! it’s meee, vi.

have you ever had thai chicken noodle soup? it’s really good. this is from my mother’s recipe ( it’s not as great, but it’s decent i promise. ) it has lemongrass, coconut, ginger, garlic, and a tiny bit of spice because it’s a lil cold. it’s not overpowering spice, i promise. there is some other stuff thrown in there, too. anyway, it’s really good with some toasted bread if you have any! oh, and i used rice noodles for ミ☆ pizzazz. ミ☆ i hope you like it?

take care!

– vi

p.s. can you teach me cool stuff about estonia?? one of my favorite musicians is from that country. (￣▽￣)ノ❞;

[Oh, what’s this? It seems like quite a surprise especially with such a nice little origami rose. Saima happily takes the time to look at the pot. Lifting it up, they discover the note and read carefully.

Excited, Saima finds some paper and scribbles down a neat response to get back to Vi as soon as possible. Already one to get the note ready even before eating the surely tasty soup.

“Vi, hello!

Thank you so much for the thai chicken noodle soup. It’s an absolutely wonderful surprise. I am so happy for the gift. I look forward to having it with some fresh bread.

ps. I’ll tell you all about estonia, it’s got a lot of interesting facts to know. Just depends on what you want to know. Who is one of your favorite musicians? Now that’s got me curious.”

Do you stand up for what you believe in? How?

“Yes. I do so through performance, through patronizing creative folks, through telling stories, through helping people. Heck, through existing I am continuing to stand for the continuation of mythos and folkloric culture in the modern era. I encourage the imaginations and the beliefs of those that care to believe and through assisting others I can remind them why this place is one of incredible magic.“

How do people underestimate you most often?

“Eh, by thinking I can’t defend myself. I have done so on multiple occasions and many still have no idea the depths of what I am capable of. It’s for the best if some people never fully find out. “

send me some countries!

  • Á : Is your muse loud in bed?

Saima can be fairly vocal in bed. While they do try to be considerate of their surroundings, once they really get into the motions of physical intimacy – they don’t hesitate to let their rather singsong and melodic sounds into the air. It’s a good way for them to release the tension that they feel while getting so much attention.  This can also include some desperate compliments, curses in Estonian and other things during the act.

Is there any one person you would sacrifice your immortality for?

    They think about it for a solid few moments. “No. Considering that my immortality actually does have a cultural purpose in maintaining the connection to mythos and lore, it wouldn’t really do much good to actually sacrifice it.”

What is your opinion on how music, art, and culture has changed?

   “It’s actually been a rather fascinating journey in terms of the cycles of trends and other things that influence how media has changed. A lot of it is adaptation of themes that have been a presence for a long long time and updating their methods for newer eras. As far as I’m concerned I enjoy the continued presence of mythmaking and storytelling that often covers a wider perspective than ever before. It seems like it’s possible for so many to find a niche that fits them perfectly and yet can form a community with others.”

How does your muse handle their emotions? Do they bottle them up or pour them out as soon as they start to feel?

Saima tends to deal with their emotions privately, not always being comfortable dealing with telling people how they feel. They might channel their emotions into writing or creating music. Occasionally, they will confide in a close friend about how they feel but they don’t like burdening themselves on others. 

🌺 – Does your muse have a favorite flower? Why do they like it?

Saima will always have a preference for cornflowers. It’s associated with a lot of stories and became known as a national flower. Additionally, they do like wildflowers as they have good memories associated with wildflowers in the fields – long, long ago.

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.”

  • candle light: are you an indecisive person?

Not often. I’ve found myself usually able to make decisions fairly quickly when it comes down to it. But of course, I am the kind of person who would also try to see all kinds of angles depending on the course of action I need to decide on. So I at least try to be thoughtful – even when coming to terms with making a decision. 

  • nightmare: what are you most afraid of?

Maybe people not holding on to stories that help them feel their sense of self. I mean.. I’ll likely be around even if that happens. But I would much rather avoid that happening – it’s always a little scary to see people lose connection with the tales that have formed a large part of their culture in one way or another.
