Pepper hotness meme please!
“Oh Gods, he’s so hot. Where ta start??! I’ve got a massive case o wanting wot I cannae ‘ave. He’s so beefy. He’s got t’e shoulders of a soldier, an t’e waist of a ranger an t’e arss of a God. I’ve ‘ad more’n one fantasy o bein wrapped up in t’ose arms.”
Even though I haven't been around in awhile...✵ for Arandoros.
Their first impression of your muse:
Fuck. YES. I’m gonna WRECK that ass!
Oh… Oh wait… he’s a cop?! Fuck. Fuckfuckfuckfuck. FUCK!
Iloam met Arandoros for the first time at a poker night at his mate Duskwrath’s ranch. It made total sense Aran & Dusk were Blood Knight buddies. They had that same drawl, that same easy going attitude, even the same sandy coloured hair and rugged good looks. They could have been brothers really, and surely they considered themselves so.
But unlike Dusk, Aran seemed to have a stronger moral code and sense of justice. He and Jericho got into it at the card table over the rules and Iloam was very worried that first night that if Arandoros found out what sort of guy he was, it wouldn’t be pretty.
They actually had a moment in the kitchen when Iloam had stepped away from the card table for a refill and Iloam turned around to see him standing there… he thought he was about to get reamed (not in the good way) and read his rights. But Aran seemed at least… mildly okay with him, possibly a little curious about this gypsy sewer rat hanging out with a bunch of knights.
Current Impression:
Aran is totally one of “the lads” that Iloam will always ring up for poker night or boxing or just drinks at the pub. He’s a guy’s guy and likes sports and poker and drinking, but is also a huge dork and doesn’t take himself too seriously. Most importantly he is willing to get drunk and stupid and do dumb shit that their wives will roll their eyes at later. Iloam definitely has a ‘type’ in the guys he considers mates, and Aran has a solid place in their inner circle.
They’ve had more than one moment of Aran sort of… experimenting… with his sexuality. Aran seems like he came from a very solidly heterosexual background and certainly a strongly gendered career, so Iloam has always been purposefully open with whatever Aran was comfortable with. They’ve made out once or twice, on dares or when Aran was drunk - and he’s made some comments and drunk texts about fooling around with Iloam and his wife, but nothing ever below the neck ever happened. Iloam’s been cool with that, but privately might admit to disappointment.
For the past few years, Arandoros and Nai have pretty much disappeared. They were always pretty come and go as it was, so there hasn’t been a moment that felt like they just vanished. They were always the couple that wasn’t a guarantee to show up at a party, but if they did they were a lot of fun to hang out with. Iloam misses them when and if they pop in his head for some reason - but its with the fondness of knowing that if Aran texted him tomorrow and said he wanted a guy’s fishing trip, everything would be the same as it always was.
Are they attracted to you muse?
Hugely. Like chewing on the inside of his cheek to keep from throwing you up against a wall level of attraction. But Aran is straight(ish?) and married and monogamous(ish?)… so he behaved. It would have to be Aran that would initiate anything with clear consent before Iloam moved on that attraction.
Tempting though. TEMPTING.
Something they find frightening about your muse:
Nothing.
Something they find adorable about your muse:
Aran’s such a doofy jock type. Iloam loves getting into trouble with him when they are hanging out. Him and Dusk both are so interesting to Iloam because yeah they’re totally cops, but they’d also get a kick out of TPing someone’s house. Iloam digs his sense of humor.
Would my muse sacrifice themselves for yours?
Definitely not, sorry.
Would my muse go on a date with yours? plantonic/romantic.
He wishes. Iloam would be brushing his teeth as he ran out the door if he ever got that call.
One word my muse would use to describe yours.
Warm
Would my muse slap yours if they could?
In the ass, totally.
Would my muse hug/kiss yours?
Any excuse to touch or be touched by Aran was a good one ;) Pats on the shoulder? Side hugs? Punch in the arm? All A+
thanks @arandoros
Your Seduction Style: The Natural
“ You don't really try to seduce people... it just seems to happen. Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people. You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious - a hard combo to find! People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast.” I’d say...this is fairly accurate. He’s just kind of naturally charming, but whether people find themselves falling is entirely up to them!

BOLD what applies to your muse
small towns. big cities. six thirty curfews. lights that take the place of stars. blanket nests. light through the blinds as a wake up call. found family. finding a single star in the middle of Silvermoon New York city. window shopping. watching something terrible and enjoying it. growing numb to the sight of injustice. wilted flowers. faded caricatures. bright, bold colors.
crickets and lightning bugs. car engines and a/c units. a phone call to mum/dad. laughing with friends. jokes that are so bad you have to laugh. the clicking of computer keys. noise canceling headphones. the sound of silence. muffled music from another room. drumming fingertips on a table. clicking of pens. listening to a clock and swearing the ticks get slower. ringing in the ears. the voice of someone you love. pitch shifted songs.
being held close during a long night. fleeting reassurances. holding hands when you’re scared. brushing fingers through strands of hair. freshly dried clothes. bruises on your knuckles. silk and satin. your favorite pet’s fur or feather. wringing your hands anxiously. snuggles. comforters in the dead of winter. nails against skin. cold metal. leather in summer.
coffee in the morning. tea in the evening. bubblegum that lost its flavor. alcohol burning the back of your throat. homemade cooking no matter what’s made. blood in your mouth. stale air. mint. fresh vegetables. that processed taste of citrus candy. the first meal you cook by yourself that tastes good. foreign sweets. fast food. bittersweet. sour. spicy. sweet. bitter. too much salt on fries.

Your rainbow is strongly shaded green and indigo.
What it says about you: You are a proud person. You feel strong ties to nature and your mood changes with its cycles. Friends count on you for being honest and insightful. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality.
I’m...on the fence with this. While Aran does have pride and enjoys the forest around Silvermoon, his moods are fairly consistent and change when things change in his life, not with the seasons. He’s pretty honest, but insightful isn’t something I would describe him with off the bat.
Still interesting!

Well, for one thing, he is pretty confident in himself. He thinks he knows what he’s got, and isn’t afraid of people checking him out or anything of that nature, so he’ll show off a bit.
He isn’t afraid to use cute things (like Tooki!) to gain attention.
...and he likes to joke. :) It’s a pretty natural approach honestly, especially when he’s first getting to know you.

the normal struggle with doing anything more than laying in bed all day. Sorry I haven’t been around.
For Rose and Allie, haven’t done this in a while
For this guy as well as any dudes on my character page!
Annemunition, a variety streamer who plays games like Rainbow Six, PUBG, God of War, and Overwatch, was playing Rainbow Six in her off time last week, away from the sometimes pressurized environment of her Twitch channel. The people she was playing with had no idea who she was, but they knew she was a woman, and that’s all they needed to know. Over the course of several rounds, they laid into her with a series of increasingly vile insults, calling her everything from “gamer girl” to “tranny bitch.” She continued to play like normal, dying in some rounds and clutching others for her team. When she did well, one guy said she stole his kill. When she did poorly, they used that to justify their attacks. “We’re not being like this because we don’t like women,” said one of the men. “We’re being like this because you’re shit, by the way.”
“Are you playing the right video game, miss?” the same man said later. “This isn’t like League Of Legends where you can just flash your titties on stream. It takes skill.”
“I hope you die,” another man said immediately afterward.
Annemunition kept her cool and finished the game. Then she decided to make an example of the people involved. She posted a video of the incident to her Twitter.
“‘Why don’t you use voice chat?’ ‘Why can’t I find a girlfriend who plays video games?’ ‘Why do you mute people who ask you if you’re a girl?’ Gee, I dunno,” she wrote.
The response was huge. As of now, the video has over half a million views and nearly 2,000 comments, some of which share similar online horror stories. Annemunition told Kotaku in an email that she posted the video to make a point. This is hardly the first time this kind of thing has happened to her, she said, and if it’d been during a stream, she would’ve just muted them. Since she was on her own, though, she decided to see how the situation would play out if she did nothing except make useful comments and help her team.
“As you saw in the video, that’s all it took for them to devolve into toxicity,” she said. “While I understand everyone, of all genders and backgrounds, can often be the subject of toxicity online, I really feel like people underestimate just how bad it can be for women or people who are recognized as ‘other’ over voice comms.”
She added that streamers often feel a pressure to just roll with the punches when it comes to verbal harassment or other serious issues, but she worries about the kind of example that sets.
“I feel like there are a lot of expectations for streamers not to complain about anything ever and that we should just be positive and ‘good vibes’ only,” she said. “When these types of things happen, I just think about all the young people (boys and girls) who experience this type of abuse online and don’t have the tools to stand up for themselves other than to mute people and pretend everything is fine.”
After Annemunition posted the video, one of the players who’d given her gallons of shit tried to apologize. In a sense. “I am extremely sorry for the way you feel, ” he wrote in a tweet from an account that’s since been deleted. “[K]now that the words I used were meaningless and have no substance.”Annemunition, a popular Twitch streamer with over 300,000 followers, was just trying to be a decent teammate and call shots in Rainbow Six Siege. Then, over voice chat, came the questions: “Are you a man or a female?” And the accusations: “You stole my fucking content. You’re shit at the game. Get out.”
“I appreciate that you want to apologize,” Annemunition wrote back. “But man, you went HARD just because you heard a woman’s voice… You called me a ‘fucking tranny bitch’ and told me to kill myself. Over nothing. All I did was exist.” However, she went on to write that she sincerely hopes the guy learns from this and wants to better himself.
“I don’t necessarily want to crucify people when I feel like there’s the potential for them to walk away from the situation thinking ‘Wow, I messed up. I said something really awful and it came back to bite me. I won’t do that again,’” she told Kotaku, explaining why she chose to respond so kindly to an apology that was dodgy at best. “I wanted him to understand the gravity of his actions and the fact that words can be hurtful and that your actions have consequences.”
In online games, she continued, people can tell others to kill themselves and face no real repercussions—or at least, not the sort of repercussions that’d convince them to cork it for more than a handful of matches. Meanwhile, the people being harassed are encouraged—both by their peers and the way many games’ reporting systems work—to just shrug it off in the moment, no matter how much it’s worming under their skin and writhing around.
“Gamers have learned that they can do these things without blowback because the solution so many people suggest is just to mute them and move on,” Annemunition said.
That’s why she decided to post the video, risking even more harassment from eager-to-pounce internet mobs in the process. If nobody creates consequences for this sort of thing that are immediate and consistent, yet also impactful in a way that’ll encourage them to learn rather than doubling down, nothing will change.
“I’m just sick of sweeping this behavior under the rug and pretending it’s all fine and dandy,” she said. “It’s easy to sweep things under the rug; it’s hard to ask people to be better. Especially when so many people are just resigned to accepting the fact that online gaming and toxicity go hand-in-hand.”
“Maybe that makes me a naive fool,” she added, “but I refuse to accept that we can’t treat each other with a little more kindness.”
