gnashing, polluted. hooked to my ribs like a burr -
stuck there & stinging


000. forward ; i'm vivi! first and foremost, i want to reiterate that i am over 30 years old. i've been an adult for A While™, and as such will only follow other adults. 18+ is the bare minimum, but even if you are 21, i'm over a decade your senior and so you might find that there's a disconnect in our experiences, priorities, et al. for this reason, i admittedly only consider those who are 25+ to be my 'peers'. i mention this only to explain why i might appear to speak more freely with some more than others.otherwise, i operate on 'common sense rules', so the rest of this page will be relatively brief. generally, i believe in standard etiquette and uhhh being nice.

001. content ; i make my icons, i make my psds, etc. etc. my themes are also of my own graphic work and coding. just don't take my stuff, please. i don't use fanart in my assets. all graphics are derived either from official or otherwise commercial/paid sources.coco is an anti-authority hedonist who challenges conventional definitions of justice. themes present in my writing may reflect that in terms of philosophy as well as general canon-typical violence. some of coco's methodology skirts on the edge of or is just plain abusive, so keep that in mind as well.

002. etiquette ; all standard & common etiquette applies. you've all seen the faux pas about godmodding and such.i am not interested in romantic shipping on coquelic. she does have a capacity for affection and that can be an open avenue, but she isn't particularly the sort to cuddle and kiss.

003. miscellaneous ; i'm around when i feel like it, and as such would like you to similarly feel no obligation or pressure when it comes to interacting with me.i don't take tumblr rp very seriously, and i'm not bothered by things like reblog karma. tumblr is a casual creative outlet for me and i intend to keep it casual. i mind my own business unless circumstances are extenuating, and trust me when i say that you will be happier if you mind yours.

004. credit ; as mentioned in rule 1, all art used in my blog assets at the time of writing are official (in-game, cgs, or otherwise by ptn artists), or are commercial (doujinshi, paid merch) in some capacity.textures used in my theme were purchased from digitalcurio @ etsy or come from stock photography. the art in my promo is by -XXYT-xx, which is sold as a charm/standee. the poetry in my promo is an excerpt from "all of us" by erika sanchez.

coquelic is the hedonistic leader of an assassin sect called ‘the garden’, and is most often referred to as the mentor by those both within and outside of the organization.coquelic is a sinner, an individual heavily contaminated with mania yet has not gone berserk from the resulting deterioration. it is this mania contamination that grants her tremendous power and freezes her body in time, but the nature of that power saps away at her own vitality. as a result, her constitution is surprisingly poor ⸻ however, she conceals the fact perfectly, and is able to display remarkable vigor and efficacy to the point that all are none the wiser; she is still considered the strongest sinner in the garden.she seems to have a need to be pampered, requesting help for menial tasks such as running her bathwater and fetching her jacket. it is likely that doing these things is surprisingly taxing for her, though it’s hard to ascertain if that is truly the case or if she simply enjoys the treatment.her personality can be described as somewhat flippant, coy, bitter and jaded. she is mostly apathetic to matters that fall outside the scope of her immediate concerns. even towards the personal matters of those who would be close to her, she’s rather laissez-faire. coquelic has a blunt disposition, and is quick to chastise idealists and wishful thinkers.coquelic is a respected but harsh teacher, capricious yet somehow consistent. punishment to the degree of solitary confinement ‘until she cools down’ is not unheard of from her. however, it is common knowledge within the garden that coquelic will ultimately forgive most transgressions. despite her heavy handed punishments, other garden members describe her as having ‘infinite patience’ for them in all matters except betrayal. she views the garden as her own flowers, and fancies herself their caretaker. regardless of her harsh disposition, it is her earnest intention to nurture them into blooms that can withstand and cut through hardship.coquelic is contrived of multitudes and contradictions, and often makes conflicting statements. ⸻ 'your lives are your own. don’t listen to anyone but me.’ ⸻ similarly, she holds the simultaneous and discrepant sentiments that she loves only herself, lives and dies only for herself; and yet it is her garden that is her pride and joy.

MUTATION ; coquelic’s ability is called floral sword slash. the name may lead one to believe that this refers to her sword, but that is hardly the full scope of her power.coquelic has the ability to convert vitality into mania flowers, effectively extracting a target’s life force and crystalizing it as a material concept - typically some manner of flora. it is through this technique that she creates her sword, which resembles a large, ornate black thorn with a blooming poppy as decor. she has also used this ability to create similarly-structured javelins, as seen vs. rahu and shalom.

coquelic can control the degree of this 'conversion’. in some cases, the target’s body is completely destroyed and turned into flowers. in others, the body may be left in tact or 'partially’ bloomed, yet just as dead. in cases such as the latter, the corpse appears as though perfectly preserved by virtue of their flowers still living.coquelic’s sword is how she manifests of this ability when it’s turned towards herself, being the strongest it is crystalized mania, composed of her own life force. this sword is far more durable than those she makes from the vitality of others.an alternate application of this mutation can be used for healing purposes, and there is a likelihood that it’s not entirely dissimilar to bloodletting.
