These just four of them, but looking at any and all of @inemperorsname.bsky.social's renders of my Ayumu with Xal and the Emperor always brings me joy. I got them printed and framed too, and it's not infrequent that I just stand there, gazing at that wall in awe, at the best squid family 💜

Yep, beyond any and all logic or reason. Ayumu's stubborness can get her into insane situations, but it also gets her out of them again. The pinnacle of her stubborness is her will to live.
It is incredibly difficult to dissuade Ayumu from doing something, unless you're the Emperor or Xal.

Her own foolish ideas that land her in the most insane situations, her own ridiculous jokes, but most of all, Ayumu laughs the loudest at the suffering of her enemies, particularily if she gets to inflict it personally.

Fiddlehead soup WITH meat dumplings is Ayumu's favorite comfort food. The taste of home. A simple recipe that evokes fond memories, which is why she keeps it closely guarded secret. Only the Emperor and Xal know of it.
Some-thing with far too many eyes can't fathom that this is possible 😂

Omg yes, I've been loving this armor on (Illithid) Ayumu too. I imagine that silver broche attaching the cloak to it could be the KotS key, it's so fitting

Ayumu's duality is the extremes of deep abyss-black vs maddeningly blinding white, and every color imaginable and unimaginable in the in-between. Contradictions, bizzare dreams, beautiful nightmares.
Balance? No, not really, she's just unpredictable chaos and suffers and flourishes in it 😂

I found the most perfect Ayumu tea 🖤
Ayahuasca tea. A shamanic, psychoactive tea that can cause vivid hallucinations, panic, euphoria and/or nausea.
Has been described to taste, I quote "bitter and fetid, like forest rot and bile, like dirty socks and raw sewage, like a toad in a blender."

Ayumu is a Durge, so she was just in her pod in the colony. Barely lucid, bloodied, banging her forehead against the glass from the inside. Like a rabid, caged creature.
At one point, after what felt like ages, the pod's lid broke. She stumbled out, wandered aimlessly, but didn't get far.

Just a few hours ago, I wanted to write something else for this, but now I've just written the perfect answer elsewhere.
This snippet of madness sums up Ayumu's amalgamation of bizarre nightmares quite well. CW: cosmic horror? 😅

Za'rak is kind of like a stray cat that shows up every now and then. Irregularily, comes and goes whenever it wants, but it always finds its way back to you eventually. Except Za'rak doesn't purr, it just gazes more or less expressively at Ayumu to try to communicate, lol. She likes her eye "pet".

For the sake of everyone's sanity, let's pretend that Za'rak here is just an ordinary Beholderkin. Not actually one single eye of an ancient eldritch entity of countless eyes (which is also Ayumu's "parent", a fact she is unaware of).
Nope, Za'rak is totally just a cute lil' Beholderkin 😌

Ayumu: "I don't get nutritional value from cheese, but you're a cheesed person. Your brain is cheese, your thoughts are cheese. If I eat you, will I know who you are, or will I just know... cheese?"
