Shipping Questions for the Mun - Accepting!
Tumblr media
do you have a pet peeve when it comes to shipping?
I have plenty of these, but I also have plenty of RP pet peeves in general. For shipping specifically: one of the things I absolutely hate are when muns assume that after a thread or two, or even the knowledge my muse has an interest in theirs, that I'll want to write a sex scene immediately. Of course, I've written a variety of muses in my lifetime as a roleplayer, some of whom are very sexually active and others who aren't.
For Sonia specifically, she's a muse that even when she finds someone attractive and is interested in dating them, that doesn't mean she's going to immediately jump into bed with them (or even a relationship, for that matter!). I've run into issues with muns who have complained that I wasn't sending them smut memes, or at least very suggestive romantic memes, and I had to explain that my muse wasn't ready for that, or just wasn't interested in that side of a romantic relationship yet.
Seriously though: letting things unfold is fun.
would you play as a cheater, or with someone cheating on your muse?
In general, yes. If just for the fact that plenty of muses I've written in the past, or am considering writing elsewhere (Discord, etc.) aren't exactly the most faithful. Fujiko Mine from Lupin III is committed to herself first and foremost, followed by luxury and the thrill of stealing valuables and manipulating others. Even when she might admit that the only other person she's ever loved has been Lupin, she's still not faithful to him romantically, or the gang in general. Fujiko's most important relationship is with herself and everyone else can and will get fucked over (in more ways than one).
Julia from Cowboy Bebop is another, less extreme example: she has cheated, but she's done it once but with lasting repercussions, if we're going by canon.
Where Sonia's concerned, it's actually been alluded to in some storylines that she has emotionally cheated on her significant other, if not physically cheated, particularly with @cantillat's Shirou. When I'm writing in our canon Danganronpa/Fate crossover verse, Sonia's immense guilt for falling in love with Shirou while still dating Gundham helps Junko significantly in manipulating her/brainwashing her to become a Remnant of Despair. Because she's become the exact thing she said she never wanted to be.
Even some of her combined canon and Non-Despair backstory has some messy relationship issues, which bleed into various storylines at times. A lot of ships on this blog just haven't made it to the point or touched upon the fact of
As far as being cheated on, that's perhaps the most effective way to hurt Sonia in a relationship. It's a challenging thing for her to really let someone into her life, especially the older she gets and the more invasive her royal life becomes. That having that trust be betrayed? That she's made to look foolish and like she isn't enough and her feelings don't matter at all? And most importantly, repeat her parents' mistakes? That's a great way to bring on the angst, broken hearts, and self-destructive behavior. It would be a long road ahead for her to even attempt to trust her lover again after that.
I'd be up for writing it if someone wants to write that much angst, but it would need to be plotted. And depending on the situation and her age, I'm not even sure how many ways Sonia would retaliate. I'd still expect her to retain some restraint when addressing it, even though I'd love to see her absolutely lose her cool and let her lover and the other person have it. As much as I wish she could, I don't think she could channel some Maddy Perez from Euphoria energy.
