‘NOPE’

_{|| I just really need to say this okay? Nice characters can be assholes. If my muse is nice to yours that literally only means they’re being nice. It is not a reflection of anything but my muse being a decent person. My muse might be a decent person but they can absolutely be a horrible one too.}  

_{Edward is plenty enough an example of that.} 

_{Even my near always nice muses can be ones too.} 

_{I.E. Kumo just casually murdering someone because they tried to hurt Kaze.} 

_{In fact, Let nice muses be assholes. My nice guys muses are not required to be that 24/7 and that are allowed to lash out if your muse pushes them.  They’re allowed to react to the situations they’re put in and that reaction is not a tantrum.}  

_{My nice guy muses are allowed to just be jerks.  They’re allowed to be cold and callous and uncaring and liars and vindictive and nasty and cruel.} 

_{Edward swears a lot and he yells but  he’s still a nice guy. Kumo is overly nice but is perfectly capable of killing someone without blinking.}  

_{Nice Muses can be fucking nasty and still be nice people.  Being nice is just being nice.  I have nice guy muses who are straight murderers. I have nice guy muses who can be perfectly pleasant in a conversation and any unknowing muse wouldn’t know the difference.} 

_{Nice guys are allowed to be jerks.  Also though, if there is a nice guy muse it is not your character’s obligation to push them to their breaking point.  Your muse is allowed to push them but they better be ready for the backlash.  Nice muses aren’t suddenly weaker than rude or cruel muses simply because they’re nice.  I don’t know where that strange power imbalance comes from but I’ve ran into it more than once.} 

_{Nice muses can still be muses of power, and they should be treated as such.  Let me say that again for the people that missed it.} 

_{Nice muses can still be muses of power and they should be respected as muses of power.} 

_{You aren’t obligated to be cruel to be powerful.} 

_{Being rude or angry is not a prerequisite of power and I’m sick of people thinking it is.} 

_{A muse can be soft and still cut your fucking head off. A muse can be kind and still bury you with a smile.} 

_{I guess I just feel like people underestimate muses who are nice most of / all the time simply because they’re just that nice.}
