How can someone win Ammy's heart?

send me a topic to write a meta about my muse on

   { Oh boy, the good stuff!! I’ve talked about this a lot before, but never in an all-together, meta format, so... I’ll guess I’ll be doing that tonight! Just...try to stick with me if I ramble and get a bit off-topic. I sometimes get like that where I repeat things, so.... Here we go! }

          I think the most important thing with Ammy and seeking lovers is that she either needs someone akin to her own or an opposite done right. I’m going to reference ships/pairings I’ve done here to try and deliver that home, since I have been meaning to write a separate meta about Ammy’s “type.” (Cause I think I’ve almost nailed down what it is...!!)

          In the way of people akin with her... I mostly look to characters like Waka and, say, Jesse McCree (which was a surprise ship, I’m tellin’ ya). With Waka, they’ve known each other for hundreds of years. An uncountable number. Because of that, they’ve shared many experiences and forged a bond that doesn’t even really need to be named; they understand each other on a deeper level that’s incredible for two people to have.          With Jesse, this gets more into personality rather than a longstanding connection. His personality can not only mirror her own on occasion (both being bright people with a love for the fight), but also compliment each other to where if the other needs something (I mostly say this in a situation when the other is upset over something; they have that way to bring each other back down and help them through it).

          With an opposite done right, I think of characters like Yami and @arthur-tristan-kingsmen‘s, well...Arthur! Yami tends to be a harder ship to sail, but I’ve found can work out regardless when done right. For @lordofdarknessyami, they inspired me to work my Ammy to how she is today; she and that Yami knew each other before he was even the “Emperor of Darkness”. A longstanding history made with a creation of opposites makes for things left unsaid and possibilities to explore.          With @warriorsofcrimsonrealms‘ Yami, it’s more of...balance. More true to the game, it’s between them that they understand that they are two sides to the same coin; where there is holy light, there will be darkness beyond compare. It is simply life. It’s also that kind of balance they get with each other, where Ammy’s stubbornness combats his own dark thoughts and his comfort can actually ease away her own. (A funny thing, but then again... Stressful kami give this Yami a headache. So understandable why it’s nice to have a happy Ammy.)

          Arthur’s case- like McCree- is personality-wise. Where Amaterasu is a powerful goddess, full of confidence and light, Arthur is the opposite; he’s a simple human with plenty of stresses, fears, and his own darkness. Yet you find equivalent exchange with them, as they both can potentially provide each other with happiness and the will to do things they might not otherwise have the strength to do alone. (Sometimes I do forget tho that the Mun and I are still working this ship out piece by piece, but.... Look, we’ve had a lot of OOC talks, so I’m feeling the drift of how this’ll all likely work out.)

          ...So yes, lots of rambling, but I wanted to make a point that there’s certainly a type I’ve noticed with Ammy’s lovers and so... The best way to start is if you can recognize you fall into those categories. Too much her opposite, and you’ll simply have a rival. Too little of her own, and you’ll instead find yourself babied under her caring light... Not bad, but definitely not a romance.

          Alright! So, you’re her type. Nice to know, but now what? There’s got to be more to it than that, right? Well... Yes and no.          Another thing I’ve learned with Amaterasu is that, yes, it’s nice to share interests or something similar. Knowing another kami or spiritual creature, enjoying eating a lot, being active, etc, etc....but Ammy tends to value the person more. There’s so, so many reasons why she loves those she has and will potentially love in the future. Some of them are just things you can’t force on, like the years upon years she’s known Yami and Waka. Others are the eventual, like @seven--deadly--dragons‘ Leviathan, @bittersilvertruth‘s Godot, and so on.

          So I mean.... In the end, I think it’s less “how to win her heart” and more of “approach with a smile and see how it goes.” Cause honestly, as long as you’re not a heartless S.O.B who murders for kicks, you should be in the clear.          ...On the note that you ARE that kind of person, what’re you trying to romance Ammy for??? Izanami is that way; go there. She loves people like you.

          “How to win Ammy’s heart” more like hOW TO NOT QUITE ANSWER THE QUESTION WHILE INSTEAD RAMBLING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES (or more) ABOUT HOW IT’S ALL IN PERSONALITY AND COMPATIBILITY....... Heavens, I’m so sorry if this wasn’t what you’re looking for. |D

          When in doubt, learn to cook or make any kind of food and woo her with that.
