MEME HO!

[demimonde]

That's a nautical term, ftr, like LAND HO! (which, due to the involvement of land, doesn't really sound nautical - but it totally is) but if you wanted to interpret it as 'this meme is brought to you by Dele, who is also a ho', well, I'm sure I would have difficulty finding anyone around here to strenuously disagree on my behalf. Anyway, I love this shit so, this show: let us get it on the road.

WELCOME TO TAXON'S CR MEME!

Comment to this post listing your characters.

Other people will then reply to your comment requesting some epic TL;DR about how your characters feel about theirs.

Maybe talk about how you feel, OOCly, about the direction of their interaction or what makes this CR really powerful, tragic, or perhaps just straight up wildly lulzy.

Since we p. much always have new folks coming in, if your characters are so new they still need spanking, feel free to use this as an opportunity to ~*discuss potential*~.

It will be epic.

Christopher Walken believes in the beautiful, unvarnished truth. Don't disappoint him, bbs.

petrana: professor snape.

Severus Snape put Petra at ease by being an asshole. It's stupid, but it's true; she has spent her life around knights of one kind or another and they are not, as a rule, real cuddly guys. The ferociously intelligent have always been her favourites, and they do tend to run to 'intellectual dickbag'. Men who like to be classy jerks are familiar, and comfortable, and she knows where she stands with them.

Something about her is that she wants to trust people. She's not stupid enough to open her heart and her arms to anyone without reservation - she's learned too many lessons, too hard - but she does very much want for people to be worthy of that. She didn't take Snape up on his offer because she trusted it, but because she was angry and tired and humiliated and sick to death of so many things that she hasn't been able to really bring herself to voice in Taxon, where they aren't 'relevant'. (It is not that she believes she would be shamed here the way she was in Elenia; it's that having all of that be rendered meaningless by its distance from this place and from the understanding of people in this place would be almost worse.)

But she wants to trust him, and so when she woke up the following morning and thought 'oh god, what have I done, I am an idiot, Davidias will be furious if he - when he finds out', she sucked it up and decided to stand by her decision. And, thus far, she's pleased with that. She believes that he is a very good addition to her household and she's very much hoping that that will bear out. He's interesting in and of himself, beyond just what he can teach her, but as they settle into a structured relationship as both lady+employee and teacher+student- that's a very new thing, and she's hesitant to upset their admittedly kind of precarious balance by probing too deeply. While, at the same time, being very aware that Davidias would kill her for not knowing more about this person she has practising magic in their home.

She is pleased with how he's working out, with a few reservations- which are the understandable concerns and not 'problems with Snape himself'. Hilariously, she finds him to be one of the most well-mannered men she's met in Taxon.
