#Meredith gets an ask

[captainshazamerica]

You seem to be a theatre nerd so I gotta ask do you like Starkid? I bloody love them so much they are the pièce de résistance of utter ridiculousness and its so good lol

My absolute favs are Brian Holden (he is a legend), Tyler Brunsman (his Lucius Malfoy is an icon) and Joe Moses(-his Snape is the greatest thing to have ever happened to the world-and I cannot believe he became a lawyer irl like bro 😢 honestly good for him and good on him cuz that's gotta be hard but also sir I am devastated pls come back lol)

Omg I love this ask!!! I was really into them forever abo, I haven't really kept up with them in years but I still love them!!!!!! They are so freaking funny! I really need to sit down and watch all their stuff I haven't seen!!!

Cause i never miss an opportunity to talk about it, lmao, My first year of college, on my birthday weekend actually, I got to see their mini improv show series "Yes I'm scared of the dark" and got pics with them after!!!(and was the volunteer in their pre magician show and Meredith tweeted pics of it with me in it!🤣) Jaime and Meredith were SOO sweet omg

Oooh those are all good ones!!! I forgot about Tyler's Lucius omg🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏his Cedric is classic too xD I also love Lauren, she is so freaking funny. And Joe Walker. Oh omg and Joey!!!! He is so cute 🤣Omg, I didn't know Joe Moses became a lawyer, that's hilarious 🤣I can hear his Snape in my head so clearly 🤣

Dang now I really wanna rewatch those 🤣🤣🤣

i can’t stand onceler elias. no he would not be showing up to work in eyeliner and heels with a ridiculously expensive bright green suit embroidered with eyes, a perpetual evil smirk, eye jewelry, and a villain goatee.

i feel like there’s a difference between putting a character in a funky outfit for the fun of it, and misinterpreting a character so badly it’s clear you don’t understand them in the slightest. like sure put him in a nice suit or eye themed outfit for fun! that’s cool! but he’s a boring middle aged man and that’s a good thing! you don’t need to be allergic to wrinkles or larger body types. he probably wouldn’t look like a thin and muscular 20 year old (with slight eyebags to convey age) who goes to his daily office job in full glam and makeup. he’s a loser academic who finds paperwork enjoyable and has spent centuries perfectly content managing an eldritch little research nonprofit. he doesn’t need to be a scrawny little fucking twink onceler oc from 2012 that i could snap like a twig. bitch looks like he’d be semi-ironically shipped with sans. i want to hit him with a car.

the kirkwall crew on their way to ask meredith the stupidest fucking question they possibly can before giving her more grey hairs and gaining 9 additional felony charges

I feel like elgarnan and ghilanain are pretty part for the course for dragon age villains. Corphyeus was one note. Because to me he was much more 'im just evil to be evil give me power'. I feel like origins had Logain as complex. Hawke's villains were...almost complex? Maybe the Qunari but it was a lot of Meredith being very one note 'I hate mages' vibe.

i think most of the origins/awakenings antagonist felt the most fleshed out in the series to me, with the arishok also being up there (and being my personal favorite). corypheus had the benefit of appearing in the decent dlc for da2, but he does seem flatter compared to previous villains, i agree. meredith also feels a bit flat to me on her own, but idk! for everything built up for ghilan'nain and elgar'nan i was expecting something more for them, i guess. there's something lacking with them specifically that i can't quite put into words other than damn. wish there was something more here.

How did erin hunter get away with making gregory house one of the main characters in warrior cats

[bog-mummies]

Why did your inquisitor and Cullen try to kill each other???

long story VERY short they both worked for meredith during da2. hal (inquisitor) sided against her but while cullen stayed loyal, so they fought

hal incapacitated cullen so cullen didn't have a chance to turn against meredith at the very end (he gets his character development later). they didnt actually want to kill eachother since they have sort of a sibling dynamic but they both felt like they had no choice but to fight.

it was super tense and awkward between them after meredith's death but they eventually made up. took a few years though

Optimistically working on the cover image for trapped buck and chris fic even though I probably have another 2-3k to write…. Interact with this post if you want to be tagged when I post it?

[dontbehorridhenry95]

“Named Henry’s mum Meredith cuz she looks like one” actually that’s so on point and true

thank you nonny

i love pushing the name meredith onto henrys mum

it's gotten to the point where i just exclusively CALL her that

[cianmarstoo]

What is one Headcannon that you haven’t been able to input into your fics yet! P.s I’m obsessed with anything you write

Ahhh thank you so very much!!!!! like the fact that others are enjoying my writing means the world to me because I'm loving writing the verses!! :D

In the Not Too Much Verse -

They end up getting a child harness backpack thing for Alex- he's very much a wanderer, and after a million times of him wandering off and them losing him he eventually gets a little hurt (literally just bloody knees) after he disappears one time, they decide that it's better than him wandering off and getting hurt

Alex is an absolute daredevil, with him unable to open the stairgates (with them having technology for Littles biology) he decides to climb over the banister and slide down it to get down the stairs - he's in major time out after that

Derek decides to build the house on the property his trailer's on after watching Meredith and Alex fall in love with the place as much as he was - they go a lot for walks around the woods nearby for hikes, he also takes Alex there when he needs to calm down or run off some energy

Alex still sneaks back to Seattle when he's supposed to be in the hotel taking his boards, Derek naturally catches him and he's in so much trouble, especially as he knew it was wrong- taking his old passport which claims hes a Little rather than his newer one.

Meredith and Derek have their sticky note 'marriage' but they also file with city hall; their massive found family tell them they need a big one that they can all go to, so they decide to throw one - of course it doesn't go to plan, with a lot of their friends being called in to sort out an emergency at the hospital, terrible weather, cancelled flights for Derek's family, and all three of the kids having strep - they end up moving it to inside of their house, with the kids all in pjs instead of their wedding clothes. They say it's the only way they'd want their wedding to go

Did things I didn't wanna (was too afraid to tell ya) Verse-

Alex gets very frustrated with Derek when he's big because he doesn't understand why he seems to want to be around Derek, because its not like he needs or wants a dad... he kicks off a lot to try and get Derek to get too angry at him so Alex has a reason to hate him. It doesn't work, he gets in trouble but the understanable amount, and Alex continues to follow Derek around.

Meredith is less of a push over than Derek when it comes to Alex, she does also realise that she was basically parenting Alex since she had met him, it was just more official now.

Derek and Meredith are having their dream house built, not doing it themselves. Not long after they take Alex in they amend some of the plans to make the nursery and the bedroom for Littles to be tailored for Alex, despite not thinking that they're going to keep Alex.

They frame the note Meredith wrote saying 'we should foster alex', it goes on a gallery wall of the dream house, along with the wedding sticky note, and about a million photos of their little family.

Alex continues to try to work his sidejob a few times in order to get money to pay Jimmy off, once Jimmy threatens to both distrupt Alex's life with MerDer, and threatens to get back in touch with Helen, Aaron, and April - Meredith and Derek find out and go and deal with both whichever asshole it is, and with Jimmy. Alex thinks they're going to be very pissed off at him, but they're not, they wish he had told them, and aren't happy he snuck out and went somewhere unsafe, and he's definitely going to be attached to their sides, but they know it's Jimmy's fault.

In both verses -

Alex loved to do acrobatics as a kid, his maternal grandfather took him to do it, but once he hit a certain age his dad got into his head and called it 'girly' so Alex stopped, this was also when he last saw his grandfather as Alex's family moved not long after Alex quit

Alex is bi - big bi vibes from him, though mostly just in general, he doesn't date or experience sexual attraction being Little

Alex has ADHD which he doesn't find out about until is being fostered, he also has dyslexia which he was diagnosed with in college, he typically uses a gren clear plastic sheet to help him read/study.

Meredith went to private schools once they moved to Boston when she was a kid, when they moved back to Seattle she went to a private day school still, but acted out a llittle (it didn't gain her mother's attention)

Derek's family sold their store after his dad died, this also meant that they had quite a bit of money as it was prime Manhattan real estate - they had never had to count their pennies, but once it was sold they definitely became wealthy enough to not have any debt from 5 kids going to medical school

Alex is forever the baby of the Terrible Trio- he's both the youngest while dropped, and the youngest in birth order - Jackson November, April is April (hence her name), and Alex is June. He tries to, but will never been the baby cousin accusations.

Whenever Meredith, or Meredith and Addison, are away all three of the Terrible Trio act out, getting into more trouble with thier days because the boys are both unsettled by not having their moms, and April get dragged into it. This typically ends up with the kids clinging to their dads.

if you have anymore questions, shoot them to me here! :D

Happy Easter Meredith!!!! 🐣

Omg this is so sweet!!!! Happy Easter sweet anon!!💖💖💖🙏🐇🙏🐣

[idolbound]

With regards to my last post, there's another example of Meredith's charisma and manipulation tactics, again, in response to a more aggressive Hawke, where she pushes the Champion to find out about the conspiracy by using Leandra's death as a point of guilt (for the 2nd time in Act 3):

We see how she makes her voice softer, and takes her position against mages while bringing in hard evidence for it, which happens to have a personal connection directly to Hawke. She knows that they are not an easily moved force, but if she can find the right 'emotional' strings to pull, then she knows she can get someone to agree to do as she's asked of them.

DA asks for Gil!

6) attitude towards the Qun? 13) their thoughts on the Grey Warden order? 14) who are they closest to from their family?

Thank you! The Hawke brainrot lowkey has me in a vice xD

6) Already answered (and in way more depth than I expected)

13) While Anders (and Carver to a lesser extent) do their best to temper her opinion, she valorizes the hell out of the Wardens! They saved her little brother, they helped during the Qunari invasion, yes ... they are doing some shady blood magic stuff but ... like ... they saved the world FIVE TIMES ... cut them some slack okay!! She survives the Fade and goes to Weisshapt so I have my fingers crossed for at least a codex extry or passing mention of what she's been up to in the Anderfels.

14) Before everything started falling apart, it was her dad. Bethany was the stronger mage but I feel like Gil really was Malcolm's favorite and it showed. She adored her dad and as a result the Legacy DLC is really difficult for her. If I can also answer for FusionVerse, it's her twin brother Marion (of course) which is good since both of the younger siblings are inducted into the Wardens.
