wrioifa is a ship i never knew i needed lmfaaoo
how do you describe the feeling of missing a rp partner’s interpretation of a muse because if I go looking through the character’s tag … it’s not actually who I’m missing, like it’s not the same so all I can do is 🥺
@ccaptain is kaeya aware he’s been adopted by a flock of baby iktomisaurs 🤔🤔
Ifa’s voice line about Chasca is … short and makes me 🤔 because he states he cares about all his friends and he has a lot of things to say about them, and they in turn have a lot to say about Ifa, Chasca including, but all Ifa says about Chasca is two sentences about how her peacekeeping is helpful and that’s it.
I can think of two reasons why he seems so reluctant and 1) she has abyss connections and it’s not like he’s scared of her or thinks she’s a monster, but because Ifa’s parents died by abyssal infection and 2) I think he feels guilty about Chuychu’s passing and doesn’t want to impose or overwhelm Chasca.
Chuychu and Ifa were both doctors in the Flower-Feather Clan and his clinic’s sign use to say he deferred everyone who wasn’t a saurian to see her, but since she passed away, he changed his sign to say he’ll try his best to help both warriors and saurians alike, not to replace her, but to aide however he can.
( I also like to think he kinda had a crush on her but that’s my shipper googles and I think Chasca reminds him of her and it makes him sad 😞 )
Sesame is proceeding to make biscuits on his leggy, purring softly as he claims his new spot even if he's ruining his pants.
❝ Sure, little dude. Get all comfy. ❞ Ifa chuckles as Sesame joins him.
He's in the middle of tuning his guitar and Ifa plays a a few chords, smiling at Sesame as the cat continues making biscuits on his leg. The weather is nice and warm, the breeze gentle and cool. The perfect spot for a little jam session in the shade of a tree.
❝ ~ ♫ ❞
Now... Ifa better keep an eye on Cacucu... (wrio leave ifa's buddy ALONE?)
❝ Hey now! When this turned into me being irresponsible? It ain't my fault Cacucu's part chicken an' flies off when he's scared. ❞ Ifa laughs, only kidding.
“No way, bro!” Cacucu huffs with a fluff of his feathers.
❝ Don't hafta' worry, bro … uh, Your Grace? I know he looks small an' dainty, but he's always got my back an' I got his. ❞ Ifa explains with a genuine, warm smile as he looks up at Cacucu.
The vet's gaze then looks to Wriothesley and Ifa senses something lingering in the warden's being, in his eyes of ice and Ifa understands; goodbyes are hard, but they are not the end of things.
❝ You ever in Natlan, make sure you drop us a visit in the Flower-Feather Clan. Cacucu took a shine to you also. ❞ Ifa smiles and Cacucu flutters his little wings with excitement, swooping side to the side in the air with glee.
“My little dude!”
u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw
Small kids will look up at you and with no prompting be like “umdidjyou no dat um one time my mommy and me um we um we we we went to da zoo and when I was dere um last summer we went to da zoo and didjyou no what was dere? A koala I seen those on Wild Krats.”
Like wow you have no idea how conversation works but boy are you giving it your all - I will stand here and look mildly surprised the whole time and when you’re done I’ll say “really?” And you will nod and look so victorious.
woe shipping sheet be upon ye
@ifadoc sent: “Don’t shoot the messenger, Granny.” Ifa holds up his hands to Citlali, knowing she’s about to erupt with temper. Ifa honestly tries his best to stay out of familial disputes, but it’s a little hard when Ororon sends Ifa as his delivery person and learns firsthand that Ororon has been avoiding her for a reasons, avoiding a lecture. Either way, Ifa ends up in the middle of it and can only nod his head, listening to the elder. “I’ll make sure to scold him an’ grab ‘em by his nose, for real.” Ifa jokes as he lifts the heavy basket of fresh produce and carries it into Citlali’s home. “Oh, I also threw in some fruits and jerky for you, Granny.”
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫 vibrating with anger around her ... the youth these days! "Do you really think I'm just going to let this slide?" Citlali scoffed, arms crossing over her chest as she looked up at the said 'messenger'. "You know, Ifa, you're just as bad as Ororon. How many times are you going to come all the way over here to our tribe on his behalf? You're just enabling his behavior!"
Even despite her height, Citlali waited for the vet to set down the produce in her home. It wasn't like she was going to turn down the free goods. However, it was far from enough to get Ifa out of this predicament. "Hold up, young man," She remarked, "I can't be bribed with food." Her annoyance was only growing the more she thought about Ororon's avoidance. When would he learn to take accountability?
"Since Ororon is going to stay in hiding, you're going to have a seat right there," The woman pointed to the table nearby, brows creasing as she somewhat pouted in her expression. "Do you really call yourself an adult by allowing Ororon to flounce around like he's still a rebellious teenager? You're supposed to be setting an example for him as his elder! Honestly—how long does it take you kids to learn what responsibility is? Frankly, Ifa, I'm disappointed in you. For starters—"
She then proceeded to lecture him for the next forty-five minutes.
Cacucu Headcanons!
He's a juvenile Qucusaur. He's at an age between the infant and adult Qucusaur forms. He hatched way to late and is developing slow. He's a late bloomer (think Happy Feet) and his wingspan shows the adult plumage while his body shows the infant (dewy and soft) feathers.
From Ifa's character stories: When Cacucu hatched, the first person he saw was Ifa because Ifa was called to heal Cacucu's mother. My headcanon is Qucusaurs don't usually bond to humans until they're adults, but Cacucu did so in that moment. He searches for Ifa after his mother passed and ended up being attached by other Qucusaurs, a behavior I have explained before. The attack nearly killed Cacucu had not been for Ifa who saved him that day. Cacucu lost his left eye from the attack.
Despite developing late, Cacucu's vocal chords are advancely developed and evolved greater than the adult Qucusaurs, enough so that he's able to mimic human speech. While Qucusaurs have complex communications skills, none can mimic human speech.
Cacucu is bonded to Ifa even if Ifa has not realized this. Ifa explains Cacucu gets jealous when he takes another Qucusaur to flight and it's because Cacucu has bonded to Ifa, that's his bro (his rider) and even if Cacucu's little body struggles to carry Ifa in flight, the little raptor dreams he will one day grow to full adult and be able to fly and soar the skies with Ifa. If Ifa were to pass away, Cacucu will never take another rider. ever.
Cacucu is a bit of a glutton. Any and all unattended food will disappear, especially sweets like cookies and baked goods.
Cacucu is a bit immunocomprised and is vulnerable to saurian type infections and diseases. This becomes a challenge sometimes as Cacucu works as Ifa's assistant in his clinic and could potentially catch infections from patients. Ifa gives Cacucu regular checks up and monitors Cacucu's health & growth charts. Cacucu is also more likely to become abyssal infected.
Cacucu only rests on Ifa's head, but if he does ever land on your head know you are chosen (you make him feel safe, secure, comfortable and he trusts you greatly. a great honor)
From 1 to 7 for the question meme + Sam Bonus: if you have a question you're less interested in you can answer any other number instead :B WILD CARD
Details of a Muse
1. What does your muse usually smell like? Do they use colognes, body sprays or perfumes? Are they clean-smelling, or dirty? Answered.
2. What are your muse’s eyes like? What shape and colour are they, how long are their eyelashes? What are the qualities of their eyebrows?
Ifa's eyes are teal i.e light greenish-blue and has diamond shape iris. There's also some orange, which is the anime effect, but I think in our world would be something of hazel eyes. He's a tired healthcare worker and carries with him the trauma of the abyssal war so there's a color of exhaustion in his eyes, a dark ring under his eyes. His resting face can give off stern or unfeeling, unapproachable, but Ifa is anything of the sort. His eyelashes are unremarkable, nothing different or unique, and his eyes brows are all unremarkable, same shade as his hair.
3. What are your muse’s hands like? What is the texture of their palms, how are their fingers shaped, do they clean or cut their nails? Answered.
4. What is your muse’s torso area like? How wide are their shoulders, how large is their chest, do they have notable abs or a tummy?
Ifa is toned and defined in his chest and torso, he's pretty athletic. He has wide shoulders and slim waist (nothing like Boothill or Kaeya level) and has the dorito shoulder to waist ratio. He's doesn't really have noticeable abs, but feeling the muscles of his tummy or chest is pretty firm and very nice. 10/10.
5. What is your muse’s nose like? Is it large, small, button-shaped, or crooked? Are their nostrils large or small?
Unremarkable, neither large, small, button-shaped or crooked. Average looking nose.
6. Does your muse have any scars? What are their qualities, how do they feel to touch, where did they come from? Are they permanent, or will they fade?
Oh yes! Ifa's has scars on both his forearms (the right glove covers it) and has a scar on his left eye. He also has a few on his back and several bite marks on his sides and forearms. All from saurians who were scared and defending themselves because they're sick, hurt, or weak. The scar on his left eye is the oldest scar and he was clawed at as a teenager from his father's qucusaur who was infected by the abyss and became outwardly aggressive and crazed. It did not recognize Ifa or even it's own rider. Ifa's father had no choice but to end his saurian's suffering.
How tall is your muse and how much do they weigh? Are they built, muscular, fat, or skinny? Do they have much control over how they appear?
He is the same heigh as Wriothesley and I'll meet anybody in the pit who wants to debate me on that lmao. Ifa is 6ft 4inches tall and weighs average for an athletic, fit 30 y.o old man who is 193cm tall. Ifa has plenty control of his appearance.
do you think the reason why Cacucu is bonding with Wrio because Wrio looks like Ifa (they quite literally have the same face/eye design that resting bish face )
3. What are your muse’s hands like? What is the texture of their palms, how are their fingers shaped, do they clean or cut their nails?
Details of a Muse
Ifa is always wearing his gloves, not just for infection prevention, but for his safety and the safety of his patients. His gloves sorta kinda look like falconry gloves which makes sense as saurians have talons and claws.
But, he’ll remove his gloves when he’s comfortable and done with the clinic’s work or pulling out the guitar for a song. His hands for the most part are well maintained and his nails well trimmed. They’re not entirely smooth and soft, he’s still a hard working, gunslinging cowboy and occasionally gets a few blisters and calluses.
He’s ambidextrous, left hand dominant, and you’ll find more blisters/calluses inside his palm there. 
1 & 9 for details!
Details of a Muse
What does your muse usually smell like? Do they use colognes, body sprays or perfumes? Are they clean-smelling, or dirty?
Regardless of verse, Ifa smells clean-smelling, like soap and alcohol based disinfectants mostly. He’s always in clinic or by bedside of a patient, so it’s important to keep proper hygiene and prevent the spread of bacteria. However, he is a cowboy and has a gun to his thigh so he does have some faint hints of gunpowder on him, a scent one can only distinguish if they put their nose to his clothes or neck. If he were to smell like anything, it would be earthy tones and sundried scents, especially if he’s been grinding herbs for medicine.
What are your muse’s arms like? Do they have muscles or prominent veins, are they missing a limb?
Regardless of verse, Ifa has an athletic and toned built. He’s not Wriothesley or Mydei beef shape, but he has lived to carry his weight and defend himself. Without a gun, he can still fight and hold his own. A fighter in structure and circumstance, but a healer at heart. His arms and chest are well defined and toned, his jacket hiding his arms, but the shirt, those buttons are hanging on for dear life lmao.
No prominent veins, but has scars on his forearms, left eye, and back. In verses were he is a vet, animals can lash out when they’re scared or hurting. In his hsr verse, it’s darker and something I will talk about in greater detail, but the scars were from the IPC when he attended their boarding schools. An attempt to “educate the people” of Aeragan-Epharahel or rather indoctrinate.
8. What features does your muse share with their parents? Have they inherited anything prominent or notable, like hair colour?
Details of a Muse
Ifa prominently looks like his father (even resembling his ancestor; the vet family genes strong i.e the albino hair, the height, and teal eyes) but Ifa has the personality and temperament of his mother.
She was a Qucusaur flight instructor and saurian trainer who could connect and calm any saurian. When she married, she became assistant to her husband’s clinic and eventually became a vet herself. She was multitalented with saurians and taught Ifa how saurians are like children and are the future. The medical satchel Ifa uses and carries belonged to his mother.
From his father, Ifa has quite a record of medical knowledge. His father was very good at records and had a library for saurian medicine. Ifa’s medical journaling are also quite detailed. Their handwriting are almost identical!

brushing hair behind their ear
hands grazing while reaching for the same object
catching them by the waist
sliding a hand over their holster while checking for weapons
tending to a gunshot wound in silence
brushing fingers over their pulse to check they’re alive
pinning them against the wall to keep quiet
wiping blood or sweat from their brow
gripping their hand tight during an interrogation
pulling them behind cover with a firm grasp
lifting their chin to check for signs of life
steadying them after a sudden explosion or attack
wrapping a scarf or cloth around their neck for disguise
touching their lips to silence them
brushing past them in disguise, pretending not to know them
adjusting their cufflink or watch mid-mission
helping them out of a tactical vest
gripping their wrist before they walk into danger
holding their face after a close call
brushing dirt or ash from their cheek gently
sneaking a hand under the table to reassure
linking arms to pass as a couple
tracing a fresh scar with careful fingers
pulling them close while hiding in shadows
fixing their earpiece, lips inches apart
pushing hair away to whisper a secret
pressing a hand to their chest to feel their heartbeat
zipping up their suit slowly, lingering at the collar
wiping a cut on their cheek with a thumb
lacing fingers together before parting ways
touching their face to make sure they’re real
grabbing the back of their shirt to stop them
brushing a hidden note into their hand
tapping their knee under the table for reassurance
laying a head on their shoulder after a long mission
cupping their jaw while patching them up
gripping their coat lapel to make a point
letting their fingers linger after handing over intel
holding their gaze while adjusting their glasses
brushing off shards of glass from their back
wrapping arms around them after a near-death moment
trailing fingers down their spine to check for wounds
sliding their hand over theirs in a tense car ride
resting a hand on their thigh mid-interrogation
pulling a splinter or wire from their skin
grazing their fingers while sharing a burner phone
tilting their chin up with two fingers to meet their eyes
tugging gently on their jacket to stop them from leaving
laying a hand over their heart after a confession
smoothing their collar after a close encounter
letting their fingers linger on a fresh bruise
catching their wrist as they reach for their gun
leaning forehead to forehead behind enemy lines
pressing a palm to their back before a mission
brushing off flecks of blood after a takedown
squeezing their hand before going separate ways
resting a palm on their chest during a rare moment of quiet
helping them out of a disguise, brushing hands often
letting their hand hover before finally touching
Strong arms cross over the vet's ample chest and Kaeya's words, teasing as they were, did not ease Ifa's worries. In fact, he rethinks his decision and shakes his head; as obedient and capable as Cacucu is, he's easily influenced, especially by troublemakers and Kaeya …
❝ Y'know what, lets all go together. ❞ Ifa can finish writing in these medical journals later. He throws on his long jacket and Cacucu flaps happier, laughing.
❝ No, I'm not jealous. I'm not like you, Cacucu. It's bad banners to let guests pick up errands and make 'em work. ❞ Ifa shakes his head and brings a basket with him for the groceries they'll pick up.
❝ That sounds like quite a list. Are you trying to bake something? ❞
' Ah, are you sure you want to part from your companion just to make me feel safer? You're living up to your nice reputation, Ifa. ' Despite the joke in his voice, he's flattered. Cacucu can be a terrific support fluffball. He feels very supported already!' Alright, we'll be on our way then- remind me, what do we need to bring back? Grainfruits, berries, some flour...? '
❝ Yo! It's dangerous to go alone. Take Cacucu with you. ❞ Ifa totally means it and Cacucu flaps over, squawking a lets go bro.
