For the character meme. I love your hornsent OCs and thus wanted to know your thoughts on Messmer!

Ah, thanks for the kind words about my guys, I love them and I appreciate it so much! And what about Messmer... ho-ho, that's a tricky one. Anyways, let's go.

favorite thing about them

First of all, I have a lifelong weakness for morally ambiguous red-haired spearsmen, as sir Ornstein can confirm. But fine, that was a joke, let's get serious for a moment. The key thing for Messmer, the core of his story and his character, is love. He loves his mother - quite simple, isn't it? But in fact no, it isn't simple. Because he loves her, more than anything else in the world, more than himself. This love is bigger than any destruction and harm it brings, even to Messmer himself, this love is the reason for all things, it's the basis of all things. And Messmer can't hurt what he loves so much, he can't deny this love, he can't deny his mother, because if he does, what's next? It was everything. Literally everything. So of course he does things for her, some things that he likes, some things that he doesn't like, some things that he would never do if not her. I think I can relate with this after a fashion, but this is not what made me love his story and his character. I love it because in the end of the day that love was hollow. It wasn't enough to overcome fear, hatred and vengeance. It wasn't enough for Marika to save Messmer, and he realizes it...

least favorite thing about them

...too late. I don't believe that Messmer sympathized with the hornsent in a slightest during his crusade, but I do believe that he had his doubts that grew as time - and war - went on. I'm sure he, unlike most of the crusaders, knew the truth about the shamans, about his mother's vengeance - and his mother was everything to him, right? He had no reason to sympathize with savages capable of such horrific acts - and so he didn't, completely ignoring how horrific and savage he himself was. It was for his mother and the new civilized world she was building, so what's wrong with a little hypocrisy here? But the war went on and on and on, and the lands were shrouded in shadows, and the mother stopped answering, and Messmer and his army were left in oblivion, alone with the deserved hatered, far from everything they had fought for. Their purpose got blurred, their guidance faded, and I believe that's when Messmer began to ask himself - why? Why is he going on, why is he fighting? And he could have answered that question - but he didn't, because the answer was "there's no reason", because answering meant acknowledging that nothing he had done really mattered, that all his love and suffering was a waste. Eventually, he was not strong enough - brave enough - to admit it before his dying breath, which was too late. I can't say I dislike his ending (I'm writing it in this paragraph mainly because I'm too curious to see an alternative), but I still wish he could overcome his fear earlier, when it could still change something - though it's a FromSoft game, so obviously it's not an option given their brilliant taste in tragedy.

favorite line

It's always hard to pick favourite lines in a FromSoft game, because... idk, I just love the dialogue and the voice acting in these games. But if I had to choose, it would be...

Embrace thine oblivion, as shall I.

Just because how utterly summarizing it is, for both the character himself and for the whole Land of Shadow.

brOTP

My glorious boar-riding man Gaius! I just love how Messmer, mommy's personal machine for eradicating everything graceless, befriended artificial (!) graceless (!!) dude who was persecuted by almost everyone in the Lands Between and made him his deputy. It's also mentioned that they had common ground in that they both were cursed from birth, so their friendship seems to come from a genuine understanding of each other's struggle. In general, I think that this is an interesting adittion to Messmer's overall portrait and a bittersweet dynamic of two cursed beings finally finding understanding in one another.

OTP

Rellana, because I'm a hopeless fan of the "liege and their a bit too loyal knight" dynamic. However, I hc their relationships as unresolved/platonic because both of them put their duty in the crusade first, and it's generally not a smart move to show open love when you're surrounded by people who'd gladly take away everything you love as revenge. I also don't like it when Rellana is reduced to just Messmer's gf instead of a fearsome sorceress and military commander in her own right.

nOTP

To be honest, I have yet to see a pairing with him that would straight up frustrate me. For the most part, my reaction is just indifference. But if I had to pick one, it would probably be Godwyn/Messmer, just because there are so many so much more interesting dynamics for both of them.

random headcanon

He was the son of Radagon and Marika, born during Marika's marriage to Godfrey, and was officially recognized as a bastard (this is why he's sir Messmer and not lord Messmer). In the beginning Godfrey wasn't a big fan of him for obvious reasons, but over time their relationship became more tender; by the time of Godfrey's exile Messmer sincerely viewed him as father, even without blood relation.

unpopular opinion

I don't thing he had a close relationship with Melina - in fact, I don't think he was even aware of her existence. Fandom often portrays them as twins for some reason, but the "younger sister" can be centuries younger when we're talking about demigods - and in my hcs, she was. So no cute Melina&Messmer fanart for me.

song i associate with them

Белая гвардия - Песня рядового

I know, I know, the language and all that, but just trust me, the lyrics hits hard considering Messmer.

Complex Inquest Character Asks

wanted to self indulgently make an oc ask meme that might help ppl develop their inquest more in depth :-) ik there's at least one other inquest ask post out there but i wanted one with particular sorts of probing questions! feel free to reblog obvs

Have they been an Inquest loyalist since the start, or did they defect from another faction? Is there a risk they'll defect away from the Inquest in the future? (If already defected: If it were possible, would they go back?)

What is their rank, and how did they attain it? Did they WANT that rank? Do they wear it well?

Related to above: Are they SATISFIED with their rank, or do they want to keep climbing the ladder? Do they feel they deserve better than they've been given?

How well do they perform their job? Do other Inquest respect them, or are they on the chopping block?

How is their relationship with the concept of violence? Do they view it as a necessary evil, avoid inflicting it where possible, or even enjoy it?

Do they have a guilty conscience? How do they cope with or personally reconcile the continuous stress and horror?

"Fun" one: What's their uniform like? Is it a generic-issued uniform, or custom tailored? Are there any features built into it that assist with their job?

Have there been any times their loyalty to the Inquest was shaken? (Are they that loyal to begin with?)

Have they ever been involved with an experiment that could be considered truly immoral-- or, even had one performed on them? What's their attitude towards that event?

How do they feel towards Inquest leadership? (Optional: How do they feel towards Kudu and Kuda?)

What are their feelings towards the Arcane Council and Peacemakers? Have they ever been arrested or questioned?

What's their life like outside of the Inquest? Do they blend in with society well, or are they flagrantly a member of the metakrewe?

What was their real motive for joining the Inquest? Whatever their job or area of research is, why is it that they feel they can't perform it within normal society-- why do something so extreme and push moral boundaries?

It is said that the Inquest view the Eternal Alchemy as "a thing to be mastered and used, rather than merely understood, for the ultimate purpose of establishing asuran dominion over other species". Do they believe this-- is there a psuedo-religious/philosophical element to their Inquest loyalty? How do they feel towards other races?

Were they involved with any of the canon GW2 events that involved the Inquest-- Thaumanova, Crucible of Eternity, Sorrow's Embrace, Rata Primus, etc? (Optional: How'd they escape when the Commander rolled in?)

because of course im gonna ask: first aid? —cmofirstaid

(Based off of this post! TFP Soundwave, IDW Sunstreaker, IDW First Aid, IDW Ravage, and IDW Cosmos have all been asked for! Feel free to send in an ask for any character that isn't one of these five 🌸❗️Not limited to followers or mutuals, so go wild!)

First Impression: Oh shit, First Aid! I read MTMTE before I read most of IDW, and I was fucking stoked to see him appear in the Delphi arc- ESPECIALLY with how he was introduced with his report that doubled as the issue's intro narration. Aside from that, though, I didn't focus on him much during my first read-through. Pharma and Ambulon immediately stole the show away from him, and it wasn't until my second read a few months later that I really focused on Aid. Aside from being happy to see him, I LOVED how he was drawn in MTMTE. He's always been cute, but something with how he was drawn in the first half of MTMTE really cemented for me that he has one of the best designs. He somehow manages to be boxy and round at the same time and I love him for it.

Impression Now: You are ENTIERLY responsible for how much First Aid means to me now, I hope you know this. One of my top ten IDW faves. His design remains one of my favorites, and I wish we got more canon content digging into his POV of things pre-mutiny. I wish he stayed on the Lost Light instead of being called away, too! There is so much focus on Ratchet passing over the title of CMO to First Aid, but then Aid leaves so quickly after. Idk, I wish we just got to see him more pre-mutiny. Aid is such a tragic character to me but he's another background tragedy and it makes me want to shake my screen a bit when I think about him. A somewhat vaguely odd thing to say, but I wish we got to see more of First Aid's grief over Ambulon and his feelings towards Pharma. Honestly I wished we got to see more interactions between Aid and the rest of the medical cast in general- including Ratchet, Velocity (ESPECIALLY Lotty (is not biased)), and Rung.

Favorite Moment: Speaking of Pharma, my favorite moment of First Aid is this one right here:

I think Aid should be shown like this more often. I NEED him to be angry. I need him to be murderous. As a treat for myself. I hate the idea in media where the good guys refuse to kill a villain because they'd be "letting the villain win". It's good to see that narrative challenged by Aid here.

... Even if the consequences aren't easily forgotten.

Idea for a Story: Someone put First Aid and Rung into a therapy appointment, I need to pick their interactions apart under a microscope. I do not thing going to Rung would be able to help Aid. In fact, it might just make an already shitty situation worse. But I want to see First Aid sit down and talk about what he is experiencing. And maybe I want to see Rung unintentionally making his grieving process more difficult. We already know from Rung's own admission in Lost Light that he does not know who he is without his patients. He banks his entire identity and self-worth on trying to assist other people. But what happens when nothing he does seems to help First Aid, and therefore his own self-image begins to crumble for it? How does his own perceived failings affect his treatment of First Aid?

Unpopular Opinion: 🤔 Not sure if I have one. I'm allergic to the idea of Aid being really nice and nervous 100% of the time, ig. All things considered, the First Aid we have in IDW isn't nervous at all. But I don't actually know how prevalent this is in fandom or if this is even an unpopular take 🤷‍♂️.

Favorite Relationship: Canon-wise? It's a toss up between him and Ambulon and then him and Ratchet. It is devastating how hard Aid takes Ambulon's death, and his desperation to help save Ambulon when Ratchet wouldn't let him was heartbreaking to read. At the same time, I NEED more of First Aid and Ratchet arguing with each other and Aid calling Ratchet out on his bullshit. It is rare that anyone steps up to Ratchet like that and succeeds in affecting him. I would like more, thanks.

Non-canon relationships? Another toss-up between Velocity and Ravage. Put these three in a blunt rotation, I'm sure they'll be fine.

Favorite Headcanon: First Aid is extremely tactile. There is not a word or phrase that could properly describe how touchy First Aid is. He has the capability to turn someone who is touch-starved to touched-out in the span of thirty minutes. While this is in part due to just him being an affectionate person in general (or at the very least, more physically affectionate than most other Autobots), it is also partially because of his intense focus on Autobot brands. He is so used to checking everyone he comes across for their brands in the case that they might have a bullet shot through them that the process of checking someone over is compulsive. This extends to people who fall outside of the Autobot ranks who do not even have brands, like Ravage, Cyclonus, and Ten. It's earned him more than a few strange looks and awkward silences over the course of being on the Lost Light.

7 and 8 for veth and/or essek?

7. For Veth, I like a lot of art of her as a halfling. I feel like people capture her style and her body type really well, and while this is outside the scope of this question I have a lot of complicated negative feelings about how fandom often headcanons in fully fanon representation to characters they don't actually care about, and so it's wonderful to have a canon fat character who is very happy with who she is and who people like for that.

For Essek, I think there's so much fanwork out there that it's possible to find something you like but I specifically like a lot of the meta about his motivations and his arc, and I like fic about his and Caleb's relationship that engages with it being a long-distance thing that won't be lifelong for Essek but will be significant.

8. For Veth: a bunch of things but notably, anyone who is like "I liked her better as a goblin" is boring and can fuck off; that is her core story. You do not like Veth if this is your opinion; you just want a goblin character to project onto. Also people who downplayed her relationship with Caleb. Many people who shipped Caleb with other party members (probably some people who shipped him with Essek too, but I saw this far more with those who shipped him with one of the tieflings) often attempted to downplay how much Veth meant to him. This keeps coming up, but if the core tenet of a ship involves low-key isolating the characters from any other meaningful relationships in your fanon conception of the show, it is a bad sign. Cody Christian was right and should be meaner to shippers.

For Essek: I cannot stand when fans constantly whine about him not appearing in materials or one-shots with the Nein. Yes, he is a member. He also did not appear until a third into the campaign and did not join them until very late in the campaign. He is on the run, in disguise. He is an NPC. The way he exists within the actual play story is fundamentally different. Also, he doesn't physically appear in Echoes of the Solstice but the plot hinges on him and others have written brilliantly about how screentime=/= importance. And I generally hate shrieking "HOW CAN I EXIST WITHOUT BLORBO/HOW CAN I WAIT FOR NEW EPISODES/WHEN WILL I GET NEWS OF SHOW" posts anyway and frequently block people who do them constantly and boy have I blocked no shortage of Essek fans for this specifically.

What about Michael Burnham for the character ask game?

Michael Burnham

How I feel about this character

Michael is one of the most compelling characters I've ever found. She goes on such a journey from favored first officer to rock bottom to science and then command again maybe but she spends a year by herself in a whole new world and then she finally finds where she's meant to be in the captain's chair and she's a better captain for the journey, but it was long.

I really adore her becuase my life imploded around the same time hers did and she found her way back and I found my way back, and I have a good life now. There's a peace in sharing that with her that I really love.

She's a good captain, a wonderful partner, a brilliant friend, and she's always trying to be better and she still has some deep-seated things to work on and she knows about them, she's working on it. I love that too.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I enjoyed watching her relationship with Book because of the way they built it up and came back to each other. Their chemistry is lovely too. I very show-ship them. They're cute, and happy, and kind to each other. Their relationship feels very nearly tied up to me so I don’t find I seek for fic it.

I intensely ship her with Laira Rillak, because that relationship is so fun for me. There's so much potential for how their relationship could be together and how they might fit around each other. Also I really adored their chemistry in season 4, so that one is absolutely the ship of my heart right now. I love how they started out antagonistic and then ended with so much respect for each other.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I liked watching her journey from where she started to where she ended up. I don't think I would have connected with her as much if she'd been the first officer who became captain. How far she fell and how hard it was to come back really means so much, and it was narratively compelling to me. I love her in the future too, because she's what they needed at that time.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I'd love to see her on the Academy show for an episode or two, doing what she does. I also would have found her and Laira having a relationship on the show fascinating. It would have been a different show, but I'd be there for that.

I also hope she and Book had more than one kid.

Thanks for asking!

[comicbookhyperfixationtime]

For the fictional character ask meme: Nightcrawler aka Kurt Wagner

Favorite thing about them: Their positive attitude! I’m not saying Kurt’s incapable of being upset or angst but I do love how his default is fun, especially on a team of sadbois (and girls).

Least favorite thing about them: He tickles people without their consent so if we met in real life I’d probably end up killing him.

Three things i have in common with them: 1. Theatre kid, 2. Love old movies, 3. Am also way too horny to become a priest

Three things i don’t have in common with them: 1. Am not Bavarian (thank God) 2. Cannot do a backflip 3. Nowhere near as sexy

Favorite line:

“Trauma comes painfully, quick and loud. Healing comes quiet and slow.

But it does come.

It does.”

brOTP: Kitty/Rachel/Kurt Excalibur Gang!!

OTP: Tough to say. Internet is making a good case for Kurt/Logan

nOTP: Hey writers it’s bad enough Claremont made Kurt’s first girlfriend his foster sister, why do you have to keep bringing that back???

Random Headcanon:

Unpopular Opinion: I am not sure Nightcrawler was ever intended to be furry. Like I seriously suspect that “fuzzy elf” was just talking about his hair and to be honest I have a hard time imagining him furry myself.

Song i associate with them:

I think he’d like it.

For Parvati

What is something your character would refuse to wear?

What would your character do if they were suddenly caught in the rain?

What is your character's favorite form of affection?

What scents does your character find comforting?

Ohhh thank you for always asking me these!! T_T For her highness...

What is something your character would refuse to wear? Parvati is not exactly picky, but she also is either naked or is dressed like a high-fashioned/sexy mannequin by her aesthetically aware husband. She wouldn't think too much of her outfit - she's so old these things hardly bother her - though if it was intentionally demeaning that's probably where she'd draw the line. Like - she'd understand your intentions if you just handed her a full clown suit to wear. She'd also hate irritating modern materials that could bother anyone's skin. Fastest way to get the Empress to strip. (May be something you could temporarily enjoy yourself seconds before disaster.)

What would your character do if they were suddenly caught in the rain? She'd probably either be unbothered or enjoy it immensely given on her mood. It's nice to return to nature sometimes.

What is your character's favorite form of affection? Protection to the nth degree and/or rubbing against the object of affection in question. She'll eviscerate all who'd harm the few things she actually cares about (family) and snuggle them close. Always touching and establishing connection.

What scents does your character find comforting? Sweat after love-making, the metallic tang of fresh drawn blood, the spicey incense of their bedroom, the forest after a storm, the smell of fruit her child eats beside her thanks to her more human body.

THANK YOU! Questions Here!

FICTIONAL CHARACTER ASK: BABA YAGA

@professorlehnsherr-almashy @amalthea9 @princesssarisa @tamisdava2 @thealmightyemprex @angelixgutz @adarkrainbow @grimoireoffolkloreandfairytales @softlytowardthesun

Favorite Thing About Them: How much a neutral force she is, that can either ruin your life or guide you help you with any truble that could be ailing you. It all depends on her motives and demeanor. If she feels like helping you, she will. If she feels wicked, you're as good as destined to be her next meal...

Least Favorite Thing About Them: I wish she wasn't so obfuscated by the historical figure of Rasputin the Mad Monk when western media searched for Mystical Russian Antagonists. Like... Baba Yaga is right here, a fictional character you can write whatever way you want. You don't need to go out of your way to fictionalize the real events that led to the Russian Revolution!

Three Things I Have In Common With Them:

*Like in some portrayals, I enjoy drinking tea;

I can either help you or ignore you depending on my motives and demeanor;

I have a vengeful side;

Three Things I Don't Have In Common With Then:

I'm not a centuries old woman;

I'm not russian;

I don't live in walking house with chicken legs;

Favorite Line: From a tale called The Water of Life, where she first asks:

"Hail, brave young man, do you search for adventures or runs from misadventures?"

Then warns three princes about the dangers of the Three Boatman and the Boats:

"In the first, they shall cut your right arm

In the second, the left leg

And in the third, they shall make your head roll away."

brOTP: The Gingerbread House Witch from Hansel and Gretel.

OTP: She may have a crush on Koschei the Deathless.

nOTP: Any child characters who interacts with her.

Random Headcanon: Her favorite ingredient to make food and potions are mushrooms she forages in the woods.

Unpopular Opinion: There needs to be more movies and shows exposing her, she is a very underrated character.

Song I Associate With Them:

Baba Yaga from Mussorgsky's Pictures from An Exhibition

Intro from Bartok the Magnificent

Favorite Picture of Them:

Mohg for the ask meme? 😅

Ah, Luminary Mohg my beloved...

favorite thing about them

Mohg's relations with love, both as a feeling and a concept. He's the person who has been denied any love (or any virtue) from the very beginning of his life, the person who has been abandoned, forsaken - and who was completely enraged and disgusted by it. So he believes that everyone deserves love, and care, and dignity - this is what he promises, sinserely, to his people, this is what his dynasty is for. And, of course, this is what leads to his downfall. His patron deity - an outer goddess of love and suffering - is a sadomasochistic, bloodthirsty abomination, but she grants strength, and how can Mohg deny the strength needed to protect those he loves? Or how can he not listen to his half-brother, who speaks of love, of compassion for all - even if his words are the charm that deprives Mohg of his own heart and will? He loved the world around him so much, no less, or maybe even more, than Morgott, but he refused to put up with its imperfections, its injustice and hypocricy - and first became a bloody monster himself, then lost it all to another monster, with similar motives, but much greater powers, which brings us...

least favorite thing about them

...to Mohg's death. Because he deserved better. Sure, he was a grim power, a servant of the goddess of torment, the leader of a murderous cult that killed and kidnapped people - and I can easily see why Mohg, despite all his original motives, deserved death... but not this death. Because it was such a cruel mockery of everything that was important to Mohg - love, dignity, freedom. It's not that I dislike the ending of his story because it's a bad plot or a writing issue... it's just too heartbreaking. Easily in the top-3 of all the FromSoft's Prepare-to-Cries for me.

favorite line

Ahh, I can see it, clear as day! The coming of our dynasty!

...I'm not crying (cries)

brOTP

Morgott, surely. Despite all of their contradictions, it was Morgott who had been with Mohg in the sewers all those years, it was Morgott who had lived through it all as Mohg had, it was Morgott - and only Morgott - who could truly understand him. Mohg might look up to Godwyn and love his dynasty with all his heart, but Morgott was his twin, his other half, inseparable. and all this is as true for Morgott himself as for Mohg

OTP

Ansbach, because my favourite trope strikes once again, lol. I've also seen some Radahn/Mohg post-dlc art... and honestly, there's something to it.

nOTP

Morgott. They're brothers, your honor! Also Miquella, because... well, I think I don't really need to explain it our lord Mohg deserved so much better

random headcanon

In terms of personality, Mohg resembles young pre-godhood Marika more than any other of her children. They also share an uncontrollable urge to make the least appropriate jokes in the least appropriate circumstances.

unpopular opinion

Mohg does care about the Golden Lineage, despite having founded his own dynasty. He's the eldest (after Godwyn's death) in his family, and he considers himself responsible for the rest of his relatives, feeling that he must protect them as Godwyn once did.

song i associate with them

Heather Dale - Prodigal Son (finally a musical association in a language that most people here understand!)

favorite picture of them

Once again, so many beautiful arts with Mohg. I guess for now I'll pick this art by motgarel

Also a bonus mention of this art with this amazing veiled!Mogh by pumpumkins

Grey from Fairy Tail? xD

//sorry for getting to this slow, friendo.//

How I feel about this character

shameless nudist; love him.

Love the depth to his backstory and his determination and insistence on growing through every loss and experience of adversity. Love his lil smirk when he knows he's being hot shit. Loved his swords and general array of techniques.

My fave Fairy Tail character – I never finished the series and yet he is my avatar on everything but AO3. (I saw him wear a cat ear hairband with Lucy on a chapter cover and went from shittily colouring it in Paint as a preteen or sth, to re-drawing them as real, because I'll never let this go). (Also: furry pipeline, who'd'a guessed lmao)

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Teen me would say myself xDD (I don't think I actively did much at that age and didn't super duper believe in the vibe Mashima was going for with Juvia). I think I was a lil convinced by Lucy or even Natsu or Leon. Recently spoke to a good friend about how I honestly would've been here more for some kinda love triangle or any ship between the three of Lucy, Gray and Natsu.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Him and Happiness. Possibly Gray and Natsu bro/rival/bestieship. Gray & the Fairy Tail guild p much.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I guess that'd be the disbelief in the Gruvia ship. And possibly just wishing Mashima had had the story kick down at him less.

Honestly, don't think I really have deeply contentious opinions here.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I stopped reading before it got very far with the Gray dad/evil weirdness idk. It didn't seem interesting to me.

I guess just more of not having him be as sidelined – I just liked when my boy was shown off.

(if you wanna ask me about more characters in this vein, please do!)

Can you do the random character ask game for Vincent with 49. and 28. (about Weiss, preferably in your nero is Vincent's son au) please?

49. Vincent's favorite toy as a child, much to Grimoire's chagrin, was the Daisy Model 99 Target Special pump-action BB rifle, given to him by one of his uncles. He was a crack shot right away, and spent countless hours arranging targets making up new challenges for himself, while the books and chemistry sets from his father gathered dust on a shelf. His love for marksmanship persisted, into adulthood, and his extraordinary talent as a gunman eventually earned him acceptance into the Turks.

Vincent: [long sigh] Regretful, I suppose. It's not that I regret the choices I made. I did what I had to do. That madman [*Hojo] destroyed so many lives. He would've destroyed so many more. It had to end. But...I wish it had been different. I wish everything had been different. Nero has not been well. Isolating. Talking to himself. It only seems to be getting worse. He has his other brothers now, but their, uh—ahem—their bond isn't quite the same. I hope for his sake that Weiss…but nevermind. I've already said more than I should.
