I've been thinking about Obey Me headcanons for 4 days straight but have nowhere to put them so they go here now

Asmo? Not Cis. Not even close. Pink hair AND pronouns baby

All of them have autism, I will not take criticism on this.

Adding to this-Lucifer organizes his papers by due date and level of completion. If they're half finished but due in two weeks they go to the bottom of the list. Though he usually finishes everything a timely manner.

Barbatos definitely owns a vespa or some form of motor scooter but he only uses it because Diavolo doesn't like him using portals all the time- If you ask nicely you may also ride but he is going to put so much padding on you it may not be worth in the end

Levi doesn't have eyebrows, something went horribly wrong during brother bonding time with Asmo and he hasn't seen them since, but it's fine because he has bangs

Belphie is the shortest of his brothers and Raphael is the shortest of the (adult) angels

Mephisto definitely wears steel-toed boots with custom metal soles so he can make his entrance KNOWN aka be as loud and annoying as possible

Trans Levi ok thank you, love you bye

so. animal crossing villagers. I started a new town in acnl specifically so that I could make anemone and aoife player characters. here are my thoughts for the main characters as human villagers:

anemone is the mayor who gets along with everyone. she does every quest for residents and helps manage aoife’s flower breeding program

aoife is an overeager villager who constantly petitions for projects. she has a flower breeding program and makes a lot of custom clothing designs

delphine is a reclusive villager who mostly comes out in the twilight hours. she catches bugs, and has a large collection of the creepiest ones in her house

beatrice is the quiet villager who comes out in the dead of night. she likes to harvest fruit, and will leave it in neat piles outside of re-tail

marley is the grumpy villager who has her house right on the cliff. she spends most of the day fishing, and keeps her biggest catch for every type of fish

and as animal villagers:

anemone is a rabbit with piercing green eyes. her house has a LOT of plants and a piano (plus a skeleton)

aoife is a hamster that looks like a jack o’ lantern. her house looks halloween-y all year and she has special dialogue for it

delphine is a goat and is mostly dark red. she has fangs. she has a custom routine where she avoids being outside as much as possible in the daytime

beatrice is a koala and is mostly light purple with white accents. she has a custom routine, which is that she sleeps from 2-6am

marley is a wolf with messy brown fur. her room, which is pirate-themed, is rearranged every day

island notes:

there are two designated tree-filled areas; one with many fruit trees that serves as an orchard, and one with a lot of dead trees, pine trees, and stumps that serves as a haunted forest

the town has spooky public works projects like a "haunted" well, an "eldritch" carved stone monument, and a your-face-here stand that aoife redesigns to be a different kind of scary thing every so often

there's a flower breeding project area that keeps the town supplied with appropriately-spooky-coloured floral decoration

the clothes shop has a bunch of custom idol outfits that aoife insists the gang all wear for "concerts"

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"

FOR THE JAY FANS I KNOW... IT HURTS ME TOO BUT I WANT HIM TO FINISH HIS EVIL ARC FIRST

[mintaikk]

Watching Venom be so obviously in love with Eddie in tld is so cute

-"We've been together for over a year." "A whole year? 🥺"

-"Do you think we could've had this life?" (While looking at a happy family in the car)

-"You'd make a good dad" (with the line that came before, I genuinely think that Venom wanted to have a family with Eddie)

-*Eyes lingering on a newly-wed couple*

-"Wooahh, look at you! You should be voted sexiwst man of the year!" We were defibetly queerbaited but at least they added Venom saying, "woah."

-Venom wanted to spend his last moments alone holding Eddie's hand (but had to stop to protect him 🥲)

-Not really as obvious as some of the scenes I Pointed out, but I love love LOVE that scene where Eddie is shot and Venom IMMEDIATELY comes out of that girl ready to kill that guy. That is HIS human and NO ONE is allowed to harm him

-"Ride me cowboy!"

-Scared Venom holding onto Eddie's shoulder lol

How To Redeem A Shen Jiu, Part 2

Written By A Prolific Fanfic Reader

9. Give him a transmigrator lover

Shen Yuan: Hi shidi!

Shen Jiu: You are too frustratingly kind and I despise you and everything you stand for, and why haven't you fucked me already?!?!

10: Give him a transmigrator lover... again

Shang Qinghua: H-h-hi shidi...

Shen Jiu: Cute and scared of me, sounds like my type of ideal man

11: Have him see the error of his ways

Shen Jiu: I will no longer abuse my students

Luo Binghe: If you do 1 nice thing to me I promise I will marry you about it

Shen Jiu: I just can't win, can I?!

12: Give him a different heavenly demon lover

Tianlang-Jun: You remind me of my dead lover

Shen Jiu: Your pick-up lines fucking suck

Tianlang-Jun, sighing dreamily: ...just like Su Xiyan...

13: Have him share a body with a transmigrator

Shen Jiu: Stop smiling at people, they're going to think I'm possessed!

Shen Yuan: I mean, they're not wrong

14: Turn him into a cat

Cat Jiu: ...at least no one will try to fuck me like this

Cat Yuan: You clearly never heard of a catboy before

15: Take him at his most broken and have him put himself back together

Shen Jiu: I have caused so much pain to people, and they caused me so much pain in return. It is time for me to stop running from the possibility of happiness. I have lost too much, but I will continue on and actually try to be better. I don't know if I'll ever find happiness, but I'm no longer scared to try

16: Harem AU

Tianlang-Jun: Have you ever been worshipped by a heavenly being~

Liu Qingge: I still hate you, but I can't deny that I also love you

Luo Binghe: This disciple has so much to teach to Shizun <3

Shang Qinghua: I may be a virgin, but I've done the most research when it comes to papapa!

Yue Qingyuan: Xiao-Jiu, remember that I loved you first!

Shen Yuan: ...welcome to my world

Shen Jiu: Honestly I rather go back to being a villain

[eg515]

don't you just love it when a series has a good ending that takes care of all of its characters, shows how their futures will look like, ties up all loose ends, reminisces about old times, references important moments from before, and brings back elements of the very first episode, giving a nice frame to the whole series?

[lizzybeeee]

THE ENTIRE DRAGON AGE AMA IS A DUMPSTER FIRE

They avoided all the high-rated questions with genuine criticism (not blind hate!) and went for questions that were safer and allowed them more leeway. After that awful IGN article and that treatment of Davrin...God, just put it down. I have no faith that BioWare will be able to continue Dragon Age or Mass Effect with the respect it deserves.

Edit - They had an opportunity for genuine discussion with fans who were concerned/unhappy with the way Veilguard was -> people unhappy with the story, the marketing, the lack of 'RP' options in an RPG, etc... Instead they just doubled-down even more, avoiding those critical questions, with no real acknowledgement that fans have very reasonable problems with this game.

Some Highlights & My Initial Ramblings Below:

The Executors

"They attempt to manipulate events in the most subtle way they can manage."

So, very clear that they're not simply observers of what is happening in Thedas: they're manipulators...

"Magical Illuminati Confirmed! Lizard People Did 9:30 Dragon!!!!"

All that complexity of character -> his hatred of Orlais, his experience as a general, his relationship with Cailain, and the influence of Howe...all diminished. Any influence from a shadow cabal is too much influence - all the humanity of Loghain's choices/consequences...God, what a waste.

Not to mention what this does to other events/characters in the series -> they imply they've been intervening as far back as the magisters breaking into the golden city. I do not find this compelling! At all!

2. Solas and the Executors

Oh my god, he sounds like such a fucking Mary-Sue I'm so sick of Solas at this point -> "Actually, I know more about the Executors than anyone alive - not even the rest of the Gods know as much as me."

("I'm also, like, an Ancient Elven God, I'm responsible for the Blight and the Veil, and I kind of locked the Gods away cause they were evil - but, like, I'm really sad about it. Also the Herald of Andraste thinks I'm cute <3")

<- Previous comments: massive oversimplification, obviously

But I miss the days when not everything was about Solas. It removes so much interest and wonder in this world when the fucking egg is behind it all. I loved him as a character in DAI and now I just feel this bone deep tiredness when I see his stupid face.

Don't you dare threaten to bring Gareth David-Lloyd back -> keep him away from this mess!

3. The Fate of the Rest of the Evanuris

Yay. I'm so looking forwards to "The Return of the Elves: Electric Boogaloo 2" - it was done so well the first time!

"It was the elves all along!"

The only character with any potential to be interesting is Andruil*, but how they handled all this lore was done so shallowly and so poorly that I find it hard to give a damn anymore. Not to mention that the game literally mentions Ghilan'nain mourning Andruil - so is this a retcon/redirection/or have you confirmed that one of the most interesting members of the Evanuris' is dead?

*interesting in that she's established in lore to potentially have a tonne of really cool things attached to her (the void armour, the great weapon she has etc...). The rest of the evanuris are nowhere near as well established as she is.

4. Southern Thedas, Sociopolitical Issues, and Future Games

NOW YOU WANT TO INCORPORATE GEO-POLITCAL EXPLORATION?? You avoided any meaningful discussion like the plague in DATV but now you're acknowledging it?? OkaY. okAy.

They couldn't even give us the long-term ramifications of the mage/templar war how the hell am I supposed to believe that they will be able to pull off 'elven gods are real' etc...? For a game series that totes : your choices matter -> they have not proven that they have been able to show that in a meaningful way. They literally cleaned the slate with this game to avoid doing that.

So, what, does that mean that the Veil is never going to come down now? Or are you going to have the entirety of Thedas build themselves up again just to have the Veil fall and send things into chaos once more?

What a fatalistic, miserable outcome for Thedas -> why the fuck would anyone bother to live in Thedas if you're going to keep throwing meteorites at them? By all means, change/conflict has to happen for the series to move forwards...but this is just so miserable at this point.

(The Elder Scrolls, at least, gives people room to breathe between crisis' or sets them up in different areas of the world! Bethesda treats past installments/your decisions with greater respect than DATV does.)

Even, then, if the Veil remains up, that means that the spirits are just trapped in the Fade being miserable for the rest of existence. The entire series has been humanizing spirits, from Justice to Cole, and now they're just throwing in the towel? I guess they can stay in the fade now! Problem solved!

What do you mean the Evanuris are not a threat anymore? IN A PREVIOUS QUESTION YOU LITERALLY SAID SOME ARE STILL POTENTIALLY KICKING AROUND THE BLACK CITY?

Weakened, sure, but Solas was 'weak' in DAI. You're giving yourself an out if you decide to go back to the elves again. Please do, I'd love more content on how the elves alone fuck everything up!

5. More Southern Thedas, the Chantry, and Tevinter

Thanks for the confirmation that things in the South are so fucked up that they have to work alongside the 'Slave Capital' of the known world to rebuild!

Slavery was one of the biggest things that caused a rift between the north/south chantry system -> one of the reasons why there were exalted marches -> a uniting belief in the south is that slavery is fucked. They didn't address slavery in DATV - what hopes are there that they will do so effectively in a future game?

Don't tell me that Dorian fixes everything off screen either -> either he solves slavery off-screen or the south is being forced to work the slaver-capitol because their land is nuked and they have no ground to stand on.

I'm so thrilled.

6. Solas and the Idol / The Blight

I will never get over Solas fucking curing the Blight off-screen and no one asking questions/giving a shit. Hello?? The Hero of Ferelden would like a word with you???

So the Blight is calcified in Minrathous, at least, but everywhere further away is still fucked! Once more, the South is doomed to suffer from the long-term effects that regular blights have -> not to mention the red lyrium (which still exists according to the AMA) across the south.

I don't care; it's lame. It's a lame way to conclude the blight and I hate it. This game did not earn 'cure the blight from thedas' at all. You could have had us learn how to soothe a titan and see how that can diminish the blight but you did it this way.

Another 'magical ritual' because Solas has such a good track record with them lmao.

7. The Agents of Fen'Harel / The War with the Qun / The Crows

Turned him against the idea of being a leader???!!

Fen'harel's Call to the Elven People After the events at the Winter Palace, elves left the Inquisition under mysterious circumstances, as did elven servants across Thedas. None could say where they went, but those who believed the Inquisitor's story about Fen'Harel wondered just how large the Dread Wolf's forces were... and what the ancient elven rebel had planned. This is from the Trespasser Epilogue, Epler!

Your concept art for Joplin literally had him as a leader of a faction of elves. Just be honest that it's a retcon and you changed course - don't try to save face with this reasoning.

About the Antaam: "We needed some big mindless bad guys to fight and so we did this because we didn't want to address the Qunari War/Invasion we set up in Trespasser".

You had to canonize Sten as being alive and Arishok in order for this reasoning to work -> you didn't even come up with an alternative Arishok to take Sten's place.

Yeah, the exchange that set up the Crows we see in the game as "idealists" did not make the game. I can confirm that!

I'm sorry, "Caterina kept Illario in check?" as in, 'kept him an idealist and not the usual Crow'? The woman that beat him with a cane and starved him and his cousin to train them as Crows. Fuck off.

lmao -> tell me you're coming up with this on the spot without telling me that you're coming up with this on the spot.

8. World State Discrepancies - Isabela

Outright ignores the very real criticism about the marketing from this game and World States.

"there are absolutely places where we unintentionally suggested there was a hard canon (...that Isabela is always assumed to have joined Hawke's party.)"

Unintentional?

Excuse me, you have her talk about Merrill and the Kirkwall Crew as family - that was not unintentional in the slightest. Not to mention Sten, Blackwall, Sera, and Cole are canonized as being part of your world state no matter what.

You had a story you wanted to tell - one that only fit a few world states - and you went ahead with it and disregarded those choices. Don't try and lie about this all being a big misunderstanding.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit - They could have taken the opportunity to address the very reasonable criticisms that people had with this game but they cherry-picked questions and avoided/minimized anything remotely critical.

They could have provided us some insight into the game development time but each time they approached the topic they settled for "we're happy with what we delivered and it was well optimized."

They had an opportunity to acknowledge that people were bothered by the handling of the lore/stories (to potentially mention they could course-correct/ rethink their plans) but instead they doubled down on everything that they did and even 'justified' some decisions. They doubled down on the Executors, Solas's changing motivations, the destruction of Southern Thedas, and the elves/Solas being at the heart of everything etc...

This AMA basically confirmed that the only reason they did what they did to the south was for a reset -> It's not a compelling or fulfilling narrative to have everything we've done reset back to ground zero off-screen. BioWare games differentiate themselves from other RPG's by their import system from previous games - it was compelling and exciting! With DATV they set the expectation that BioWare can outright throw out entire games worth of choices/build up, not solely retcon them.

Justifying your choice to water down the lore/world of your story by saying you'll address it in the 'next game' does not instill me with confidence, BioWare! It doesn't explain that lack of it in this game either!

They avoided every question that, rightfully so, pointed out the misleading comments made by devs in the pre-order period of the game:

the fact that there were only 3 imported choices from previous games was leaked by a reviewer -> BioWare was vague from the start about choices

that this game was the most 'romantic' in the series

that world states/ headcanons wouldn't be disrespected

that there are 'lore' reasons for bad darkspawn design

that there are lasting, impactful choices/consequences to be made in this game

that the lore/world was not watered or toned down

that companions are deep and you can disagree with them etc...

BioWare's behavior towards their customers in the lead up period to this games release was downright scummy. I absolutely felt misled after playing the game for myself and recalling what I read in interviews put out. While EA is undoubtedly poison, you can't hold them solely accountable for this.

I feel for the individual developers who worked on this in what was undoubtedly a toxic environment from EA - but I feel that it's pretty clear that BioWare itself has a lot of problems within and in their leadership/executives. Working for EA does not give them an excuse to mislead their customers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I already had a very grim outlook on the franchise from the end of DATV but this literally look my interest out the back and sent it to God. What a disaster.
