#I don't have many NOTPs so when they appear I'm like *no*

[talaofthevalley]

Another one for the Yu-Gi-Oh ask meme! I'm going to be super basic but consider it fair retribution, because I'm STILL NOT DONE answering your ask :') (What have you done, what monster have you unleashed.)

So, your turn for Yusaku/Playmaker!

Looking forward to the reckoning >: D

YUSAKU MY BOY YUSAKU!

Why I like them/why I don’t Yusaku is just.... great. He's so great. He's an awkward teenager in real life and a cyber vigilante at the same time. He's so emotionally mature compared to pretty much everyone around him. One of Yusaku's biggest safety nets for not being Playmaker is no one would believe Playmaker is a teenager. One of the few protagonists who didn't need the power of friendship to get through his show because he's strong enough on his owns, and in a way he is the power of friendship here. It's just that the people he's deemed important and is shown to be important to him all oppose him at some point. And because Yusaku is one of the strongest duelists in all of Yugioh it's like throwing themselves at a brick wall in hopes of breaking it. And he's just genuinely so damn cool? His comebacks in duels are so fun to watch, because the show is full of people who think they can outsmart him and be the one to defeat Playmaker. But they all fail, and realise Playmaker was thinking much further ahead than they were. And it's so satisfying. And he can be so extremely savage with his lines, it's so funny.

And like I dunno if this is a unpopular opinion (and honestly... don't care much if it is), but I relate to Yusaku's reluctance to make friends and get along with people. And I know that's in part because of his PTSD, but even after he starts moving forward post-S1, he's still not gungho about making friends. It reads to me like while he wants connections with people, he's not desperate for it, and won't buckle at the slightest hint of friendlyness from others. He's not so starved for connection he'll get attached to anyone who is nice to him. And that can absolutely be part of his trauma! Just saying I relate to it, as someone who has never been starved for friendship even when I had none near me.

What I like about their appearance I like his hair colours a ton, and how vivid his eyes are. I find it so funny but fitting his casual outfit is just a pair of jeans and a black hoodie. It's so teenage boy of him.

The Playmaker design is one I know people are split on, especially the hair, but personally I love it. The colours give him an almost retro feeling to me, with the dark green and black with splashes of yellow, then the bright colour of his hair. The styling of his hair looks So cool to me, almost like he's exploded from the inside out and letting his emotions out with them, since he's so emotive as Playmaker compared to real life. The yellow line over the suit and the four spaces on his hand that glows when he uses his skill is just perfect design.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names? No change! Yay.

OTP Datastorm my beloved-

NOTP Aiballshipping. And I mean specifically romantic, cause I do like them queerplatonic.

OT3 Again, polycule with Yusaku/Ryoken and queerplatonic Yusaku/Ai.

Favourite card they use Firewall Dragon, to be basic again. It's got such a kickass design, and I love the possible methaphors involved with one of Yusaku's ace monsters being themed around a firewall, something to keep harmful viruses and programs out to protect the system it's on. It's Neat. It's also got a funny beak mouth that looks so silly when open.

Favourite moment they were in Gosh I have so many-

Okay so I don't know if it's The Yusaku moment I love the most, but it's one that I think about a lot. During his second duel with Bohman, when Playmaker is accused of being an AI who stole Bohman's body and that he's not the real Fujiki Yusaku, what Playmaker uses as proof that he is the real one is-

his meeting with Ryoken when they were young.

Like- to put aside the shipping for a moment, because I won't deny that plays a part and that I'm biased, how interesting is it that this is what Yusaku deems important enough to justify his whole existence? To prove he's real? It speaks of a kind of personal understanding, but also of a great emotional part of himself despite how stoic and no-nonsense he appears. Yusaku is actually a very emotionally drive person, it just doesn't come off that way because he's so levelheaded and mature. He doesn't use logic here for why he's the real Fujiki Yusaku, or any holes in Bohman's memory. It's about the bond he shares with Ryoken. He sees this meeting and Ryoken leading him to the experiments as part of Ryoken's guilt, why he began talking to Yusaku while he was held captive.

It's this connection to Ryoken, the binding proof someone was affected by Yusaku's imprisonment, that makes him sure he's the real one even when he admits no one can tell for sure if their memories are real or not. Ryoken wouldn't have reacted and said the things he did in S1 if they didn't have this connection. It's an answer rooted staunchly in emotions coming from a character who on the outset does not appear to think that way, but it's proof he does. And it's kind of beautiful. Despite what people say, Yusaku is painfully, wonderfully human.

Least favourite moment My perfect boy has done nothing wrong ever in his life-

[bad-as-me]

Godfrey for the character meme

favorite thing about them

He's super interesting, both in his own right and as this looming presence over both us as the Tarnished and all his descendants. I love love love the dichotomy between "Godfrey", the pillar of grace and nobility that so many people aspire to emulate, against the reveal of his "true" nature as a nearly-feral man of the wilderness.

And it's that enforcement of extremely restrictive values that leaves such a mark on the narrative! Godrick, Radahn, and Morgott all try so hard to live up to the shadow he cast behind, but not even the man himself was really like that (at least, not when he wasn't muzzled by the Golden Order).

His fight and his music are some of my favorite parts of the base game. And also I just adore Serosh.

least favorite thing about them

Can I be a little meta about it and say his place in the timeline? While I think SotE was trying to confirm that Horah Loux was once a prominent figure in the realm of shadow, it gets frustratingly vague about what his place was in that society. The dancing lion does a lot of moves that echo him, there's the highlander attire, the strong implication that Serosh's status as a Beast Regent came from the Tower. But it's all a bunch of little easter eggs that don't really go anywhere.

It doesn't seem like he was a hornsent, but so many things in Belurat and the Black Keep imply a strong connection to him. So where did he stand with hornsent culture? Was it significant enough that leaving it behind with Marika was considered a great betrayal? If so, why was he so special to them?

I just have so many questions about his life now that they are being hinted at, but for the life of me I just can't put together what they are trying to do with this.

favorite line

I'm not sure if it counts as a line, but every time his cutscene begins and we have to watch him staring stoically at Morgott's dead body, while the inhibitor of his emotions is clawing into him and screaming to the sky I'm like, verklempt. Everything about the unspoken details in that cutscene is just so raw.

brOTP

I loooove the idea that he had a strong camaraderie with his Crucible Knights.

OTP

Godfrey and Marika but not in a "I think theyre cute and should get back together" way. I just want to know more about what that relationship was like. The Golden Lineage is such a deeply broken family all the way down, and I would kill to know how they were before the divorce. I need to study them.

nOTP

None come to mind that I really see anywhere? As far as I'm aware, he's just known as a wifeguy to Marika (and possibly shipped with Radagon which is, well, still Marika at the end of the day)

random headcanon

Deeply unserious, but the funniest running bit I have with my sister is joking that Godfrey has the attitude of an American trucker who is obsessed with MUG root beer.

Mohg got his name off of Godfreys favorite thing in the world, but he'll never know because they misspelled it. Sad!

Relatedly, watching his phase 2 transition while this is playing in a Discord call is a transcendental experience:

unpopular opinion

I think a lot of people are jumping the gun a little too hard on being sure that Godfrey was a good dad - especially to the Omen twins. Not saying he was deliberately cruel (I think that's over-correcting tbh), but the Serosh in the room tells me that the man never had a chance at an emotional connection to his children, even if he wanted to have one.

He reads strongly as having been neglectful if anything. And it's ironic, because his priorities to keep appearances for his duty as Elden Lord - the noble veneer that several of his kids would end up idolizing - stunted his ability to get attached to them at all.

song i associate with them

Well MUG anthem nonwithstanding-

I'm gonna go with Peacemaker by Jesca Hoop!

favorite picture of them

this series by higgsbison is one of my top ten elden ring posts tbh

[entamewitchlulu]

If I knew so many people would give you Reiji I'd have given you a different character SDJKGFK

Masumi for a round two??

only seeing this now ;lkdjfa;dlsjasfa anyway it's my own fault for being so predictable XD

Why I like them/why I don’t

I looooooove Masumi because she's mean lol. like she'll just snipe people for no reason. She's really perfect rival material in terms of yugioh and it's a shame there wasn't really space in the narrative for her to be more prominent. Still, her short-lived rivalry with Yuzu was really good for both of them narratively. I really love just how she gets to be smug and a little bit arrogant, and then also gets to be the sort of rival tsundere towards Yuzu like Kaiba is to Yugi lol. she deserves it <3

What I like about their appearance

she's soooo pretty ;w; it's unfortunately so rare to see brown characters in yugioh so she stands out in that regard and she's just generally has such a nice design and palette?? the only thing i'm unsure about is what is happening with her outfit sldkjf;slajfasdl

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?

Original for sure. there's nothing wrong with Julia Krystal, it's just kinda whatever. Masumi is cuter.

OTP

lol Yuzu for sure and forever <3 though i'm partial to shipping her with pretty much any of the bracelet girls. I just think Masumi should have a hundred girlfriends

NOTP

nothing particularly springs to mind, though she does personally strike me as a lesbian so I don't prefer to ship her with dudes

OT3

if I have to pick JUST ONE combo, it would be Masumi/Yuzu/Selena. But the ideal situation is Masumi in a bracelet girls sandwich

Favourite card they use

Gem Knights as a whole are soooo good but I really love Lapis Lazuli's design

Favourite moment they were in

When she was falling and Yuzu sent her monster to catch her and Masumi looked up at Yuzu and blushed i die every time

Least favourite moment

none, she elevates all moments she's in <3

Would I fuck, marry or kill them

probably marry i suppose? her family's got a gem business so they're probably well off lol. and she's pretty and mean <3

[blackfeatherdragon]

III/Micheal Arclight for the Yugioh ask game please!

...Well, that was the obvious one, huh?

Why I like them/why I don’t: Michael cares so, so much about his family and Yuma! He's so intensely loyal and genuinely kind to those he cares about, but at the same time is perfectly capable of sharp tongued smugness towards his opponents and even outright murder if he thinks that's how he needs to protect his family.

What I like about their appearance: Gonna be real, I love that he's the definition of 'Looks like a cinnamon roll, could kill you'. Michael looks like a fluffy little cinnamon roll who fits into the Obligatory Good Member of the Villain Squad trope, but then you get blindsided by all his endless loyalty and willingness to do what it takes to protect his family No Matter What and the fact that no, Michael is just as much an Arclight as the rest of his family! : )

Do I prefer their dub names or original names? I honestly prefer III over Trey, 'III' conveys that Tron was using him (and his brothers) as his personal pawns much better than Trey does. After all, pawns don't need true names, only numbers.

OTP: Aztecshipping, of course! Yuma/III is so sweet and I love the protector/protectee vibes it has going on with III's sheer protectiveness and knight vibes.

(Like. I wrote a ship manifesto about Aztecship. You know I'm all in on Aztecship if I wrote an entire manifesto about it-)

NOTP: Any ship involving III and his family. I am just not into incest.

OT3: Hmmm...perhaps Michael/Yuma/Alit? I think Michael and Alit should have met in canon, and I think they could all be cute together.

Favourite card they use: Gotta be Chronomaly Atlandis! It's a lava volcano giant that's also Atlantis and also possibly Pompeii, if what Chaos Atlandis did to Tachyon Dragon is any indication!

(Also the fact that it tends to overwhelm or hurt Michael on summon (see: Michael getting overwhelmed when he summoned it during his Yuma duel, Michael deliberately causing himself intense pain to pull off the Chaos Atlandis summon when taking on Mizael) is sooooo emblematic of his self sacrificing nature. Michael will do whatever it takes for those he cares about-)

Favourite moment they were in: Geez. Fuck. He had so many good moments. His big duel against Yuma and all his pent up stress and desperation and envy and rage coming to light in all the worst ways. Michael chucking a sword at Mr. Heartland to protect Yuma. Michael and Chris taking on Mizael despite knowing they would die in the process, all to help Yuma and Kaito get their head starts. (And also Michael getting in some jabs at Mizael in the process. He knew he was never going to win but he was going to go down fighting. He was going to go out as a proud Arclight family member ;-; )

Least favourite moment: Probably that time period where he was in a coma because his crest yanked his soul. I know, he woke up, but the fact that Tron was going to just leave him like that up until Yuma convinced him otherwise...

[moongothic]

I LOVE your crocodad theory I'm an obsessed believer but did u ever get romantic vibes from crocodile & robin business relationship? Many people get lover vibes from them & I never understood why. They seem VERY strictly business/stab each other in the back relationship. (Plus crocodile is TERRIFYING).

I think Croco/Robin as a ship exists kind of like... out of circumstance? Kind of?

Quick disclaimer, I only got into OP in like 2008~ish at the age of 13, I can not comment what it as like being in the fandom before that because I wasn't there (and when OP began in 1997 I was like two whole years old). So whatever I say here doesn't come from like, a fandom veteran who knows the entire history of the OP fandom or anything. I'm just attempting to rub my braincells together here

Like in the year of our lord 2023 we have many wonderful Crocodile ships to classify as OTPs and NOTPs etc, but if we go back to like 2006 or so, long before the Summit War Saga was even a thing, try to think about what characters you would have shipped Crocodile with? Because for a long time, the only canon material Crocodile had appeared in was just the Alabasta Saga (+one brief cover story), and we don't really see Crocodile interact with that many characters during the story. Like. Really the only character Crocodile has multiple, extended interactions with aside from Luffy and Vivi is Robin. All the other characters he interacts with maybe once or twice for very brief scenes, so based on canon material alone, there isn't much for fuel for shipping purposes.

It really wasn't until Marineford when we finally started getting other characters to ship with Crocodile, mainly the Ever Loyal Daz who seems to be willing to follow Crocodile anywhere (romantic as fuck) and Doflamingo after he and Croc tried to kill each other twice at Marineford (people seem to love a tsundere Croc) And now with Cross Guild we also have Mihawk (and Buggy) as far as shipping options go. And of course there's MORE than just these ships, there's the more crack-leaning ships (like Dragodile and whatever you'd call the Cobra-ship) and some others (Jinbei, Whitebeard, Ivankov, Galdino, Luffy even) etc etc

The only difference is that Croco/Robin got to kind of be like, "the default Crocodile ship" for like 8 years without major competition. And because the ship has "history", even when new ships pop up the one that has been around the longest will still stick out. Not to mention, although we have options now, even those have very little canon material to actually work with when compared to Croco/Robin. Like Dofuwani exists because the two had like three whole pages worth of interactions, but compare that to the screentime Croc had with Robin? It's not even a competition

Not to mention, Croco/Robin is just. Like it's kind of the mandatory het ship. Like there aren't many straight options with canon material to work with, and there's gonna be people who really want to have a het ship with Crocodile if you know what I mean. But also, let's be real. There's a lot of straight women who're horny for Crocodile. Valid as fuck. And Croco/Robin could have like, a self-insert-y quality to it, like some people might be able to see themselves in Robin? Also valid. And that can apply to some straight men too, like I'm sure there's cishet men who look at Crocodile with that "god I wish that were me" energy, who love seeing Crocodile ship fanart with Robin, as they can project onto Crocodile etc. This is also valid. Point is that the ship appeals to cishets by simply being a het ship, but also it might make for an easy ship for a lot of straight people to project onto for one reason or another.

But to be fair, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I think Croco/Robin has the potential to be a really interesting ship. Like they ARE the Baroque Works Boss Pair, literal partners in crime, the most powerful members of the secret criminal organization who run the whole operation, they worked together by themselves for four whole years, Crocodile protecting Robin by allowing her to hide under his wings. They were together, ready to take over an entire country and obtain a weapon of mass destruction And then Robin betrays him. And Crocodile admits he never trusted her to begin with.

Like on paper alone, this is great material for a juicy romance.

Especially now when we understand why Robin was on the run and why she feared being betrayed, and how looking back at Crocodile's reaction when Robin "reads" the Poneglyph for him, he genuinely seems a little sad about her betraying him (mystery trauma etc). This is a genuinely interesting character dynamic, like even without any romantic context I would love to see Crocodile and Robin meet again in the storyline and like, see what Crocodile thinks of Robin having joined the Strawhats vs what Robin thinks about Cross Guild, how the two might interact etc. They are interesting to me

Like personally, I agree, I don't think the two were actually ever romantically involved with each other (frankly I don't think Crocodile trusts anyone anymore enough to let them get close him like that, dude's been voluntarily celibate for like two decades lmao), their relationship was surely just business-only. And while the ship doesn't personally interest me (just kinda "meh" for me), I do understand why the ship appeals to others and why it's popular to this day

But yeah, I do think a lot of the reasons Croco/Robin is as popular as it is due to circumstance. It's been around the longest, it still arguably has the most canon material to work with, it appeals to lots of people. God knows shippers don't actually need the characters to like each other, otherwise people wouldn't be shipping Croc with Buggy as we speak

[maxphilippa]

Microphone ii

Favorite thing about her: WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN WITH. Oh my God she's like the best arc developed on season 2 and she is so consistent with everything and so so full of love and so complex and. I really just like the way she's written and how much respect they had for her once she was out on her own terms. Her design is one of my favorite things ever too, it's quite simple but so SO good and shaped, her main color being purple, her abilities, her love for others, how she doesn't want to hurt anybody. I just like everything about her. How she as a person isn't flawless but is still full of love. How even if she has a gokden heart she can still stand up for herself and hold grudges. She's just. So important to me.

Least favorite thing about her: I have a lot to say when the things I don't like about her are her alliance with Taco (not because it's bad for the story, again, Mic's arc is beautifully written, but because Taco sucks and I can feel Mic on a emotional level) AND the what the Fanon did to her. They treated her so SO badly.

Favorite line: "So now, I'm making my first good choice."

brOTP: oj, trophy, nickel, soap, cheesy, fan, tissues- basically almost everyone at the hotel

OTP: microknife, micropick, micro4

nOTP: ... taco...

Random headcanon: Painting became a sort of therapy for her at some point post s2. She used to do it a lot when she was a kid, but now she's just getting back at it. However, she doesn't attend Paintbrush's classes because 1: she can't focus with many people and 2: she's more of painting landscapes or recreating photos. it really helps her with thinking. as well, even if she's somewhat decent at cooking, she's GREAT at baking. definitely one of her hobbies.

Unpopular opinion: SHE'S INSANELY BISEXUAL SHE LIKES MEN AND WOMEN 💥💥💥 but also, she's one of the characters that suffers the worst treatment on the way the fandom treats her, and usually misses the whole point with the toxic friendship he had with Taco.

No, Mic would never forgive Taco. Yes, she meant it when she said the thing about Pickle. Their thing is a really good example of an harmful relationship. As well, Knife and her being best friends instead of siblings is WAY better if you don't want the romance (even IF justin has stated on may 1st of 2023 that they're okay with others shipping them now, on twitter), and Knife's and Mic's arc is just very very underrated and like. Why. They're so important to eachother. Did you know that in A Song For Microphone, On Knife's Edge appears there for a segment? Their arcs are entwined and yet they're just pushed aside.

Also I just really don't like it when people mischaracterize her for ships or only remember she's there for ships.

Song I associate with her: Missing Hell, Hermit The Frog (Marina), HANSEL (Sodikken), Copacabana, Ancient Aliens, and Curses.

My favorite pic of her:

[lia404]

For the Yu-Gi-Oh challenge, I'll, of course, ask you the diva that is Seito Kaiba.

Noooooo I almost put in the tag #please any character but Kaiba svp but I thought... naaah, there are so many characters, people will not ask for Kaiba, right?

RIGHT?

Okay, here we go, time to answer questions about this glorious asshole.

Why I like them/why I don’t

The trope of the stupid chaotic genius with no agenda except his own is a trope that works wonders on me, and Seto Kaiba fits the bill so perfectly. I like him for that. I like his ego and his chaos and his genius, his crazy technology and the way he is here exactly at the right time to trigger stupid events.

But it also annoys me so much. SO MUCH. Listen, I used to be a Kaiba-girl (although my fave has always been, and still is, Mokuba), but I'm back from it. Dude's everywhere. I'm tired of him. I'm tired of reading about him. I'm tired of him being an asshole to everyone, tsundere sometimes but most often not. He is an edgy teenager with a LOT of money and a LOT of intellect to twist the world the way he wants it to look. I can respect that. I am just tired of him.

I think what I like most of him remains his relationship with his brother. OK, and his extraness. I admit it amuses me.

What I like about their appearance

Physical appearance? THE COAT. That stupid, over the top white coat. The fact that a 16 year-old kid thought "I need to find a way to make myself bigger" and came up with THIS. Overall, his character design is awesome too. Those blue eyes and those muscles and those neverending legs, man. I may not be fond of him, but I have eyes.

Not sure if it counts as "appearance", but he is the only character whose US voice I LOVE. Like, really. I don't care about the US dub, but Kaiba's voice in it? It's one of the cornerstones of my childhood. And it wasn't even the version we had on TV in France. I just watched a painfully downloaded very pixelated version of Pyramid of Light in English, because that was all I could find, and suddenly... that was him. That was Seto Kaiba in my ears, better than the French version. I've never come back from it. I love his VA.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?

Does not apply! But as I said above, it's the only character whose characterisation I love almost more in English than in Japanese. Maybe it counts as "I prefer dub".

OTP

This one's hard. I used to be a HUGE Silentshipper when I was a teen (that's Seto/Serenity) and then evolved to the obvious Puppyshipping (honestly, I think I leaned towards it even when I was silentshipping.) It's only "recently" (understand: around 2019) that I discovered that Prideshipping had a huge appeal. Some people have also brought Rivalshipping to my attention and I see the merit of it. I like Trustshipping too (that's Isis Ishtar/Seto Kaiba), they would kill each other. A real OTP for Kaiba though? None exactly. Seto Kaiba/his ego is well enough. (I do enjoy Priest Seth/Kisara a lot because of course I do, and if we REALLY want to enter funky territory, Priest Seth/Seto is always fun.)

But if I really really have to choose something, well. Let's go with Prideshipping; it's the safest bet IMO.

NOTP

Eeeeeehhh most of them? Seriously it's hard to say, on the one hand I'm a huge multishipper and you can sell me any ship if you explain it well. On the other hand, I don't want to subject anyone to a romance with Seto Kaiba. That said, I've discovered that Adoptshipping is a thing, Gozaburo/Seto: let's go with this, that's one hell of a NOTP.

OT3

Priest Seth / Seto Kaiba / Mahad. Think of it. You're welcome.

Seriously, I don't even think this ship has a name. It's a mix of Stoicshipping and Headdresshipping. My proposal is Denileshipping because it's by the Nile and they're all in denial, Mahad and Seth about the fact that they actually enjoy each other's company, and Seto about the fact that they are real people who are closer to Atem than he is, and not weird hocus-pocus pretend memories. And they do real magic. Kaiba, please. Can't say there's a lot of content about it but seriously: THINK OF IT. And I think if you add Atem in the equation you get a nice OT4—and a nice amount of chaos.

Favourite card they use

Okay so bear with me because I actually can't remember which decks are canon in the anime/in the manga, mostly because I have his Duel Links deck in mind. I really love Maiden with Eyes of Blue because not only it's an incredibly pretty card made to bring Kisara to mind, but it's also quite useful imo since it's a nice shortcut to bringing a BEWD on the field during the first or second turn. Pair it with White Stone of the Ancient and a good skill, and turn 3 or 4 you get your Twin-burst BEWD. And seriously, these cards are so pretty, and prove that sometimes, even Kaiba can have good taste.

(Is there really no way to resize images in a post or am I just really bad at Tumblr?)

Favourite moment they were in

Oh god the moment when Mokuba jumps in his arms at the end of Duelist Kingdom.

It's tied with the moment when he pairs up in a nice tsundere way with Yami during Battle City, and a very special mention to DSOD and THE SPACE ELEVATOR that had me in tears the first time I watched it. Physics whomst.

Least favourite moment

See, for all I dislike this idiot, I have a hard time pinpointing a specific moment when I actually wanted to tear his hair off and nail it back on his head with rusty nails and lemon juice. He is annoying and odious, but I tend to like the dynamic he brings with him. Even when he threatens to kill himself so as not to lose a duel, or when he belittles everyone in the team, or when he is so focused on Atem that he forgets EVERYONE ELSE IS LITERALLY HERE? He's annoying, but I like these moments.

Would I fuck, marry or kill them

Kill. Killkillkillkillkill. Sorry but if the alternatives are fuck and marry, I don't hesitate for a second. But also, not too sorry: I mean, it's not like he needs my help for it anyway. He apparently does it very well by himself if the general reading of the end of DSOD is accurate.

Bottom line:

It's not really obvious, but for all the annoyance Seto Kaiba awakens in me, I actually like his character. To me, he is clearly one of those who have the MOST OBVIOUS development, if not THE one. His goals are clear, he asserts his selfishness and he learns to be evil for his own profit, but not to make people suffer. Also, Kaibaland for young kids? Okay, maybe I love him a little for that. And the whole technological miracles to enhance a card game are very very refreshing in a world when technological miracles usually come from the army. Thank you, Kaiba, for destroying the laws of physics and going all quantic with your virtual stuff just for the sake of a card game you're not even really good at. Kudos. The next generations will be grateful well most of them, who didn't have said card game ruin their existence and the balance of their entire society.

Seto Kaiba is an insufferable, proud asshole, but he has every reason to be. I can forgive him. Still not enough to fuck or marry, though.

OTPs  +  nOTPs  + Alastor

𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐎𝐑 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 || accepting

{ OOC } Alright, compared to the short list from previously, this is going to be a long list. Mostly because I like shipping Alastor with a lot of people and I can see so many dynamics. Obviously, I'm going to list what first comes to mind, so if I miss any, don't take that as a sign I won't ship it, because I probably would if the chemistry is there!

Alastor x Charlie --- This is like my #1 OTP for Alastor. I just like the dynamic so much, it can be toxic, it can be sweet, it can be both things. And I love the fine line between it~

Alastor x Vox --- These two have a special soft place in my heart because it was the first ship that I had when getting into the show~ They're very messy and dramatic, but I love that about them xD

Alastor x Rosie --- Best friends to lovers is a dynamic that I can always get behind! She appears to be someone who Alastor sees as special and very admirable, holding a lot of respect for her. So it's cute!

Alastor x Angel Dust --- Honestly, it's a guilty pleasure and I feel like it could be a fun dynamic~

Alastor x Verosika (aka @witchysang) --- A ship I wasn't anticipating, but somehow it works between the two of them. It's cute and I love it so much~

Alastor x Husk --- Another guilty pleasure and I feel like this could either be toxic or sweet, depending on how it's written or the situation or how it gets developed!

Alastor x Zestial --- Creepy overlord duo, it's my jam and I feel like it could be something interesting to write!

Alastor x Alastor --- Selfcest ships are always my favorite~

The nOTPS?

Alastor x Any of the Exterminators/Winners/Angels etc --- The way I have my Alastor written, it's so not likely to work out, at all.

[rustyvanburace]

you know I gotta suggest Navarre for the character ask! and asahi if you’re feeling up to it :^D

Thank you so much!

favorite thing about them: I love how much PIZZAZ he adds to the early game! How can I not like a character with such a flamboyant, demanding personality whose very presence is enough to make everyone react with shock, contempt, laughter, and awe? Navarre is an ass, but a necessary ass to carry the early narrative and add so much excitement to it. I cannot help but giggle to myself everytime he appears. AND THEN, all that character growth in IVA towards becoming a better, more self-aware ghostie. Ohhh I love he so muuuch~

least favorite thing about them: Definitely the unnecessary perversion in IVA. Enough said.

favorite line: The "dawdling Casualries" line will always hold a special place in my heart, but I am also really fond of the stuff he says when you speak with him during the training drills in one of the rest spots,

"O-Oh, it's you… I thought you to be a demon. Don't start me so… I've never carried a blade any heavier than a knife before. If Mother were to see me dashing about with such a weapon in hand, I think that she would faint…"

And

"I landed a critical blow when I accidentally tripped… The next quest was much simpler, since as you might expect, money is no object to me. 'Twas actually easier than the first. But the final challenge all depends on one's strength, and that's a field I'm particularly lacking in… S-Someone else may have first place, I care not whom. Merely let this debacle of a training exercise be done with!"

brOTP: Nanashi and Navarre are best BROS!

Bad edit aside, can't forget the actual bros, Navarre and Gaston lmao. I really enjoyed their sibling relationship and it opened up so much insight into their familial life and personal struggles. I'm so so happy they got to rekindle at the enddd, it was so sweet

OTP: Everyone knows that I am the sole resident of the Issachar x Navarre Crack Ship Kingdom!! Idgaf that they've never canonically met nor even know of each other's existence, the POTENTIAL between them is enough to keep me content and well fed! We support random rarepairs in this house!

I also really like Flynn x Navarre too and they're my second fave Navarre ship, for much the same reasons!

nOTP: Needless to say, my NOtps would be pairing Navarre with his brother or any of the IVA kids. Eeeugh. Enough said.

random headcanon: It's something I've been wanting to analyze in more depth, and IDK how much of this is actually canon or headcanon considering, but I very much fancy the idea of Navarre always having close connections with the Samurai seniors and keeping close tabs on the Rite and new inductions. He's very astute with the going-ons in Samurai business and likely has been anxiously watching them for quite some time.

unpopular opinion: I understand that Navarre is a very unlikeable character, and he's supposed to be! But it honestly does get really bothersome seeing how much dismissal, if not outright hate, he gets in the fandom. Navarre IS an important character within the early game! It is his very antics that adds the necessary tension and tone needed to carry the early narrative and worldbuilding. It does admittedly make it hard for me to approach other SMTIV fans because I like this bean so much.

But that is okay. I am perfectly content with those who seek out, stick by, and enjoy my bean musings. :)

song i associate with them: Tbh I'm pretty bad at that sort of question, lol. I don't really have one for him right now, so pass? (Open to suggestions though! I want more tunes to listen to.)

favorite picture of them: SO MANY panels of him from the Prayers manga FOR REAL. He's SO expressive in that and has TONS of good moments!! But I am especially fond of the mini bonus chapter that features Navarre~

Masataka Miura can agree: Navarre can have a little moment in the spotlight as a treat~

Thank you again so much for the ask! I think I've written quite at length here, lmao. I'm a bit tired now and I don't think I can fit Asahi here, but I could post hers later on!

[ultimateplaylistmaker]

Korekiyo for the ask game!

favorite thing about them: Definitely his appearance and talent, I was IMMEDIATELY drawn to him as my out of the gate favorite character I'm a SUCKER for androgynous morally dubious vaguely horror themed nerd. I could listen to him talk about ancient murder rituals for HOURS

least favorite thing about them: Honestly I wish he got to do his own creepy rituals a lot more. Like the seance was super cool but I feel like with so many rituals at his disposal they could have pushed the horror magic angle more with him. Make a good dichotomy with Himiko now that I'm thinking about it, the red mage vs the necromancer. Especially since ghosts are in fact canon to Danganronpa role because UDG was a weird game. Also the fact he was the reason they introduced "if two people die only the first blackened counts" rule and they NEVER did anything with it was SUCH A WASTE.

favorite line: "Kehehe...what wonderful strength. You could likely crush a child's skull with ease." (Why the fuck did he say this what is wrong with him but also it's such a funny line Kork no)

brOTP: I like him and Gonta as friends, you cannot tell me an anthropologist would NOT be fascinated by a wild child like Gonta.

OTP: Shinnaga, Angie and Korekiyo were SUCH a fun pair!

nOTP: Him and Himiko I guess? I can't think of any popular ship he's in that I don't like.

random headcanon: THIS MAN HAS A FURSONA YOU C A N N O T TELL ME OTHERWISE AND IT'S A NEKOMATA

unpopular opinion: He's a super interesting character, and a part of that is his unfortunate plot-line, while canon handled it kinda poorly, i think it makes him even more interesting and makes me want to explore him deeper. I do not remove this plot-line when I write him unless it would completely get in the way of the story.

song i associate with them: The Hunting Song by Tom Lehrer

favorite picture of them:

Reinhard? I have SO many Feelings about this man and I’d like to hear yours

Sexuality Headcanon: I normally imagine him Bi, but my interpretations of him are super flexible. He's like Subaru to me in terms of being LGBT all at once.

A ship I have with said character: Reinemisuba is pretty good - a good friend of mine got me into it, and I'm very excited to beta for it. I like ReinJuli a lot too! ReguRein is also really, comically, funny.

A BROTP I have with said character: Cecilus and Rein is a funny dynamic. I don't mind it romantically but it's really funny how Cecilus crashes at Julius' place for a week just so he can fight this guy. They're literally the red hair/blue hair dynamic I've seen memed tons, except both of them could (and have at least in Cecilus' case) kill thousands without much effort at all.

A NOTP I have with said character: Rein/Felt! That's his little sister trying to undo Astrea Family Trauma as best she can.

A random headcanon: Subaru sometimes likes to teach Rein about different hobbies back on Earth, and it exponentially grows his blessings list with obscure little hobbies like flower pressing or arranging.

General Opinion over said character: What a poor little meow meow of a character. I love him to pieces, from his appearence in ex 4 to some of the felt side stories. I need to read more of them to have a much stronger appreciation, but exposure to my mutual's love of him has definitely put him very high up on my list of faves.

He's a hardcore people pleaser and it's so transparent when it comes to Subaru. There's so much I could go into solely about his relationship with Heinkel - this is a reminder to myself to finish Once Upon a Time In Lugunica - and how good of a father figure Heinkel was before it all went wrong >:( but this does raise the question regarding Heinkel's personality and Gluttony - if he got Rem Situation and woke up, would he be alcoholic Heinkel, or would he be back to the proper father days since he'd have no memories?

...Does Reinhard remember gluttony victims? I can't actually remember if he does or doesn't...

Either way, adore this boy to pieces. Would love to write him more one day, but I need to finish all my WIPs and the Felt SS to do so first.

HAS SOMEONE SENT YOU YOUR DAILY DOSE OF POTASSIUM FOR THE YGO MEME? K (Yugo from Arc-V!!)

YUGO MY SWEET BOY YUGO

For anyone who hasn't been around a long time, Yugo used to be my Number One brainrot boy. I still love him dearly and get all giddy and squeaky over him, the fixation is just not turned up to the max anymore.

Why I like them/why I don’t I just love how.... easygoing he is? He takes being flown across dimensions by himself like he took a wrong turn somewhere. He's a smart boi who built a D-Wheel from scratch with his best friend as a pre-teen. He's introduced by crashing into a street lamp after another dimension jump and just Keeps Showing Up here and there, never knowing what's going on but always ready to throw hands or make friends. It's so funny. He's wears his heart on his sleeve and cries like he has nothing to be ashamed of. Yugo's just a joy to watch.

And despite being usually relegated to comedic relief, he's actually one of the strongest duelists in the show. Second ever time we see him he OTK's three Obelisk Force soldiers at once. And that contrast is v appealing to me.

What I like about their appearance His eyes.

Yugo has Such pretty eyes. Anyone who's read my Yugo-centric fanfiction knows I cannot keep myself from mentioning them. I love that his main colour is white! You don't see that very often for characters of his type. And his blue bang is v appealing, and I love taking snapshots when it moves. He's so expressive as well!

Also he's cute. You can't tell me he's not.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names? He got to keep his name, thankfully.... Not that he was safe from weird spellings regardless who's Hugo. don't know him

OTP Dimensionshipping! I think it's very fun, and great to build AU's around. Inside it I like all yuboy pairs with Yugo except for Pawn, which I'm lukewarm on. It's just not my thing.

NOTP Don't have one. If a fic for a Yugo ship I haven't thought of or isn't invested in seems well-written and appealing to me, then I'll read it.

Favourite card they use Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. One of my favourite yugioh dragons ever. I adore the crystalline wings, the long tail in place of legs, and the colour scheme is so appealing. It's also so pretty in the anime.

Favourite moment they were in I can't choose help-

Okay so, I do have one I can highlight, that I don't think many would pick. But it's all of episode 54, which shows what happened to Yuzu and Yugo after they were teleported away at the Maiami championship. I think this episode is a good showcase of the Full Yugo Personality Package. All that's missing is a scene where he cries.

We see him being concerned but not very thoughtful, hotheaded when he gets seriously annoyed over Yuzu getting his name wrong. He's willing to talk and answer any questions Yuzu has if he can, and even takes mistaking Yuto for Yuri rather easily. He's a bit too eager when he gets an idea in his head, and when Yuzu breaks down in tears, he's quickly apologetic for being pushy. Doesn't tell her to stop crying, just gives her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, aplogizes and that it was his fault, and just... talks to her.

And he's so gentle?? He tells her about Rin, and it's so obvious that he loves his best friend so much. And Yuzu quickly calms down. He's just a very sweet, caring guy who can get too passionate sometimes. It's big "too good for this world" energy with Yugo, with 'this world' being the synchro dimension. It makes you wonder how bad his interactions with the Resistance in the Xyz dimension must have been for Yugo to be hostile enough to be labelled their enemy and even get a nickname among them, even if it's from people misunderstanding his name.

But then when the situation turns bad and they're discovered by Tops in an area they're not allowed in, he's immediately locked in and focused on Getting The Hell Out Of There with Yuzu. He knows when to get serious, and he doesn't mess around when it comes to the law enforcment of his world.

Least favourite moment Don't think I will ever forgive Arc V for destroying Yugo and Rin's D-Wheel. And for having Rin be the cause of it.

THEY MADE MY BOY CRY AND THAT IS ILLEGAL

[missfreija]

louis for the ask meme ❤️

favorite thing about them: his tendency to react with great fervor only to the topics that interest him, his love for literature, his reverence for life only after becoming a vampire, his emotional vulnerability and weird moral principles, his introspective and anguished narrative, his physical appearance lol i like that the author wrote him as a sort of naive dramatic romantic mc.

least favorite thing about them: he is so judgemental. (real answer: his almost total absence after iwtv. I need a trilogy slice of life from his pov lol)

favorite line: 'The great adventure of our lives. What does it mean to die when you can live until the end of the world? and what is 'the end of the world' except a phrase, because who knows even what is the world itself? I had now lived in two centuries, seen the illusions of one shattered by the other, been eternally young and eternally ancient, possessing no illusions, living moment to moment in a way that made me picture a silver clock ticking in a void: the painted face, the delicately carved hands looked upon by no one, looking out at no one, illuminated by a light which was not a light, like the light by which god made the world before He had made light. Ticking, ticking, ticking, the precision of the clock, in a room as vast as the universe'

brOTP: david (basically canon, they often live together for years between memnoch and post merrick, they seem to have a mutual admiration and sometimes david can kiss his maker's husband ahah), gabrielle (a girl can dream lol i wanted more interactions between them), armand in tg era, and i think marius would be a good friend for louis. marius likes louis right away in qotd and once louis got over his reverential fear of the roman they could often discuss about art and other interesting topics. I think louis would get along with almost all the cast

OTP: lestat

(honorable mention under the section 'emotional relationship that made me cry a lot' for louis and claudia <3)

nOTP: i don't Hate them but i've never been a fan of armand/louis

random headcanon: 1) when he was human his only sexual experiences were with prostitutes, he never had a lover. 2) he is a decent billiards player. 3) during the nineteenth century he read and enjoyed penny dreadfuls. 4) even in the present sometimes he confuses words and mixes French and English

unpopular opinion: i dont know, people only talk about show!louis (and i couldn't care less about that version of the character...) or how they hate him in the books.

i like to think that his angsty reunion with lestat at the end of iwtv happened in 1920/'30 (we know that Lestat affirms that this fact never happened and that Louis only spied him from the windows but I don't really like this explanation sooo I prefer to believe louis' version and to think that lestat lied or doesn't remember lol).

i don't know if it's an unpopular opinion but i noticed that many fans love his character development/glow up post merrick (having accepted his nature and no longer being sooo weak) but I have always been a bit perplexed about this event, in the narrative his resurrection is rushed and shallow, to me it felt basically just a pretext to awaken lestat (even his chapter at the end of pl is so...random and out of context but ok). on the other hand I'm happy that Louis got some peace and happiness after so much suffering but the (offscreen) process that led to this change disappointed me

him being the 'royal consort' in the final books gives me second hand embarrassment lol

song i associate with them: saint bernard - lincoln, california - lana del rey, his Canonic Song aka moon over bourbon street - sting

favorite picture of them: there are so many amazing fanart 🫶🏻

i love this artist - this - this

[lycankeyy]

BF now yayy

Favorite thing: His silly. His whimsy. His absolute fucking stupid. Big fan of it. I want to put him into a meat grinder (affectionate)

Least favorite thing: I don't really think there's anything to dislike about his canon appearances so far other than idk I don't really like how his voice sounds in the Monster tracks LMAO

Favorite line: I like when he go "ah-ha" in spookez I think idk I can't listen to music rn. You know what I'm talking about right. The skid and pump song. YeahBDKAHSJ

brOTP: already went into bf and darnell so here's one I rarely talk about: bf and nene. I can't see them Together Romantically (power to those who do) but like is mentioned in my latest fic I think it's nice for Nene to have a relatively low-stakes friendship and also BF is so unaffected by everything that I can't see her . Eccentricity. Bothering him very much BDJQHD

OTP: rgbbbbb babyyyy though I like BFGF the most out of the dynamics there actually. Which is maybe surprising. Fun fact I love them So much that I can't. Listen to Silly Billy. Like I can't it literally makes me Too Upset to think about a reality where they're separated something is wrong with meHDJSJSJ

nOTP: x senpai I just don't get it sorry LMFAO no hate if you do

Random headcanon: oh god I feel like I've dropped so many of these already. Looks at my doc. He has a Massive collection of video games but he's the type of guy to get like 10 hours into a game go Whoo That Was a Good Game stop playing it for three years and then restarting it with the intent to beat it this time and then he gets 10 hours in and the cycle repeats

Unpopular opinion: I don't know how to phrase this in a way that makes it sound like I don't like bf angst because I do. I love bf angst I love it when people have angsty bf interps. But I do wish there were more interps that played around with the fact that we have no reason to believe that his confidence isn't 100% genuine like I think he's Genuinely that sure of his skills and I want more content about that LMAO

Song: another one where I've posted a few so here's a new one hot off the funkycule playlist:

Favorite pic: maybe a weird choice but I just love how his dialogue is depicted here. I think this panel is what single-handedly convinced me to make fc!BF completely non-speaking

[princesssarisa]

Character ask: The Oompa-Loompas

Favorite thing about them: In the books and the 2005 film, I like the wit, cleverness, and dark humor of their songs. Despite their appearance of being a "primitive" tribe, their songs are sophisticated, poetic, and wickedly snarky and funny.

Of course this gets lost in the 1971 film with their much simpler moralizing song that replaces the lengthy songs from the book. But it's a catchy tune all the same, and their weird appearance in this version is unforgettable, so I still enjoy their presence even without the original dark wit.

Least favorite thing about them: Their original racist incarnation in the first edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where they were a black Pygmy people from Africa. It's a relief that both the 1971 film and later, revised editions of the book changed their home country from Africa to Loompaland, and that the film makes them a fantastical orange-skinned, green-haired species, while the revised book makes them white with long golden-brown hair. (Even though neither of those changes make their portrayal fully unproblematic – more on that below.) The 2005 film might be a bit of a regression since, as played by Deep Roy, they once again look like humans of color; but at least their extremely small size and odd voices, and the fact that they all look identical, make it clear that they are fantastical beings, not human.

Three things have in common with them:

*I love music.

*I'm good at making sweet treats.

*I'm fairly short.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I don't like raw cacao beans.

*I wouldn't make such nasty moralizing remarks about common childhood vices.

*I've never worked in a chocolate factory.

Favorite line: Basically all of their song lyrics.

brOTP: Willy Wonka.

OTP: Any couples that exist among themselves.

nOTP: Willy Wonka.

Random headcanon: In all their incarnations, both the weirder versions and the more human-seeming versions, they're actually a supernatural species, similar to fairies or elves. Their work has an element of magic to it, which aids Wonka's creation of so many fantastical, seemingly-impossible treats, and their musical and poetic abilities are magical too, which is why they can improvise clever songs about whatever happens on the spot. (Unless you believe the 2005 film's hints that they wrote the songs in advance because Wonka had the four bratty kids' "accidents" all planned out.)

Unpopular opinion: I don't view them as Wonka's slaves. They work for him by choice and they love him. Yes, their portrayal is problematic, in ways that were especially terrible in the book's original text where they were black Africans. An exotic tribe from a foreign land, "imported" by a white businessman to labor in his factory, whom he pays in food instead of money, and whom he uses as guinea pigs to test his new products, which sometimes do them bodily harm. Even when they're not portrayed as black, it's still problematic. But Wonka does pay them wages, even if they are in cacao beans, and I don't buy the headcanon that he really did enslave them and is lying when he says they came willingly to work for him. Wonka is already a dark-edged, morally ambiguous figure without our viewing him as a literal slaver.

Song I associate with them:

First and foremost, their iconic "Oompa-Loompa" song from the 1971 film, in all its iterations.

Their more elaborate musical numbers from the 2005 film are less memorable as songs, but they get points for using Dahl's original lyrics, and for the way each one uses a different musical style.

Favorite picture of them:

This is going to be long

Send Me A Character

Racules

Favorite thing about them I really love his expressions and mannerisms. I like how he widens his eyes when he's annoyed and the way he handles his sword. He's under constant pressure but has to keep his composure but he slips a bit from time to time which I enjoy. I appreciate it all the more knowing that it's an act he's playing up, which I thought it was, but confirmation just made it better. Him playing it up parallels with Gira, although Racules went further with it.

Some more Racules thoughts - Note that some things are outdated as this post was made early on in the series

Least favorite thing about them He raised the taxes in Shuggodam, or did he? It's never mentioned past episode one, so I literally don't know if he raised the taxes himself or if the tax collector was making an error. It seems like it's used as a hint of Racules not being as great as the people think, but I would like more elaboration on that. Also he was planning to kill the scientists working on figuring out the secrets of the Ohgercalibur Zero, however there was a sense of guilt and dread about doing this. Racules does make a lot of empty threats so his threats all need to be taken with a grain of salt honestly.

Favorite line I'll give you a few:

"If I stood to gain more power... Then I would sell my soul to the devil himself!" - When talking to Jeramie about colluding with the Bugnarak to attack other nations - Really playing it up with an evil laugh and everything, leaving Jeramie stunned

"I am the nation." - Signature line that Racules uses throughout the series to elavate himself above others

"I have returned from the depths of hell." - Reiterating Gira's declaration when he appeared before Racules after having been thought to be dead by the world - Shows both a parallel between them and how they both are playing up their evil king roles.

brOTP Racules & Kaguragi - Scheming with my brother-in-law - What if my sister got engaged to you so that our nation could benefit from the demi Shugods, but she's also scheming for me to possibly take your throne. And what if we were liars who had little schemes and manipulated the people around us to get what we want, but we were both kings?

OTP Suzume & Racules - Literally married - They lived together for over a decade and were engaged in that time. The marriage was under an agreement between Shugoddam and Toufu, but I do feel there's genuine care between Racules and the Dybowski family, hence why he puts trust in them. With Suzume it's like there is some parts that are an act but others aren't. I'm not really sure how to explain it but I do feel Racules cares for Suzume's well-being as he does Douga, hence why he allowed them to run away when Desnarak took over Shugoddam and Racules was backed into a corner. He also never pushes away or denies her affections, although he may seem a bit awkward about it.

nOTP Aside from the obvious, I haven't seen any that are prominent enough to be labelled this.

Random headcanon Racules enjoys cooking but rarely does it - Based on nothing I just like the idea

Unpopular opinion I don't think Racules was ever obligated to take care of Gira. I also don't think Racules just straight up decided to abandon Gira at the drop of a hat, the situation is more complicated than that. Racules is morally gray, much like many other characters in Sentai have been, he uses questionable methods in order to do what he believes is right and in the grand scheme of things may be right. Racules needed to do a lot of things to get Dugded's trust to get the power he needed to break the Husty lineage from Dugded by killing Dugded. In short, Racules is no worse than characters like Rio from Gekiranger or Burai from Zyuranger.

Song I associate with them

Favorite picture of them I have so many photos of Racules, but this one's my current favorite:

Jeramie

Favorite thing about them Again with the expressions and mannerisms. I like how he smiles big smiles and how sad his eyes look when he's upset. When he meets his mother again and his lips are quivering and he's on the brink of tears but also in shock... peak.

Least favorite thing about them In his early appearances he'd casually use his silk to create images and spell out words but now he mainly uses his silk for average things like making webs to lament in or grabbing things. Favorite line Here's a bunch:

"We'll see how much I amuse them." - Using subtext to scheme

"Besides, this time... I have people who worry about me... My good friends." - Jeramie and Gira talking about how Jeramie is doing after taking the fall for his fellow kings

"Well, now!" - Signature phrase that he uses throughout the series

"Instead of ruling over everything... I once again find myself ruing over everything." - Jeramie lamenting after his plans just make the situation worse

"I will never surrender my protagonist status again." - After lamenting and sorting out his feelings about Daisorg being revived and Racules working with the Bugnarak, along with his role in it all

"It seems I was the one who didn't read between the lines." - Jeramie learning that he has misinterpreted the situation and didn't understand the true extent of Hymeno's grief

"The fate of the world itself is my story to dictate." - Jeramie declaring his role not long after meeting the kings

brOTP Yanma & Jeramie - Webdev - They're just really fun

OTP Jeramie & Gira - Soulmates actually - I wrote about them here

nOTP -

Random headcanon Jeramie doesn't like the taste of peppermint - Based on the fact that spiders don't tend to like the scent of peppermint, but Jeramie is part human so I'd think he wouldn't mind the scent too much but the taste would be too much

Unpopular opinion Jeramie took 2 years to be comfortable to bring his sleeve up to his elbow, and dresses head to toe daily. He wouldn't wear revealing clothing casually.

Song I associate with them
