HELLO I SEE YOUR ASK GAME AND SO I RAISE YOU THE QUESTIONS FOR OUR DEAREST LEON ARDO-

🏳️‍🌈,💜,📖,😋,🪞&🏡 (if you don't wanna answer 'em all is all good, I just love Leo a lot XD)

Under the cut!

🏳️‍🌈 / Orientation HC: I think Leo identifies as straight, but later on comes to realize he's bisexual as hell.

💜 / Crossover non-ship relationship I like: I'm not sure...? I mean, I've been internally pondering about the potential of MM! Leo meeting F! Leo because they're my two favorite Leos. This guy is fathering himself from another universe...... Oughh.... Got me fucked up actually.

📖 / AU I'd like to see them in: It doesn't matter the au I just want to see this kid get his ass beat and then not go to therapy for it.... But a roleswap au is something I've been thinking about amongst many others hehehehe

😋 / Funny HC: he's that one student to say "Teacher I think you forgot the homework! 😁" And then proceed to get a bunch of bags thrown at him all of the students including his brothers plotting murder.

🪞 / Appearance HC: I think he'd be kinda insecure about his appearance. I like to think he'd overthink things sometimes about his looks... I do have many thoughts about this and could write multiple paragraphs about this headcanon. But I am so tired. April your boyfriend is feeling like shit over his looks. Yeah he thinks you're gorgeous and he's not much compared to you. What are you gonna do about it? Gonna give him a lil kiss? Huh? (I am cringe but free! 😁)

🏡 / Domestic HC: Whenever Splinter gets sick, Leo is the one at his side constantly, 24/7 playing nurse for his dad. Not to say the others wouldn't take care of Splinter (they would!) but Leo's usually more active in this role than they are.

was not expecting how head over heels i'd fall for marchil- i stg there's something they put in the sauce like goddamn! and i've loved seeing your posts analyzing their dynamic, really helped articulate what i was feeling. i was wondering if you had any fic recs, or any recommendations for ships with a similar vibe? i'm hungry for them...

I know right, marchil gripped me in a chokehold out of nowhere and still hasn’t let go… The sauce was designed by the demon for me to get addicted specifically. It’s been too long since I haven’t written fic for them. I’m still chipping away at my Marcille & Chil arc analysis I know I always mention it and I started the draft in January but I SWEARRR… Season 1 is ending next week :/ On the upside I’ll probably be more focused. After that analysis, which is only analyzing in depth like one aspect/half of their intertwined arc btw so who knows there might be a part 2 one day, I kept thinking it’d prob be my last marchil analysis but let’s be real, probably not. Every week I find something new to point out about them aah…… Dungeon food, ahh, dungeon food…

Fanfic rec wise, well first I have my own marchil fics, to which I mostly recommend Grind Me Down Sweetly, and then feel free to browse my marchil bookmarks for what seems good! I don’t know what your tastes are but Shroomyystar makes super good angst (and smut), my favorite being 'Til our fingers decompose, keep my hand in yours about Marcille getting deathly sick and the dilemma to confess or to not confess, incredibly haunting piece of bittersweet but soul-crushing angst AND character study. Like wow! Chilchuck I need to throw you in a river. I want you beside me is cute bedsharing banter. From me to you makes my head spin and makes me shake my screen. And- *gets dragged off before I can mention more* Meanwhile on the flipside, Anita_Amai (the first ao3 marchil writer, still going strong 👏👏) is especially great at offering short and sweet pieces, the tone is usually light and comedic and it always makes me smile and giggle, gives me fluff attacks, the fics always a strong good scene or theme idea too. Just browse and pick any, it’s a good time. There’s soo many more. Honestly I recommend just diving into the ao3 tag and start reading. You can start by kudos and read the highest ones first to dip your toes and get the community classics one out. Early on there was a recurring anon writer who did great bittersweet domestic confession stuff like this one, lifespan angst oughh... Wherever you are now thank you for all your work 😭💖 A lot of new marchil writers are starting to post too! A csm asaden fanfic writer legend just joined the tag so marchil will probably finally get some multi-chaptered fanfics haha~ But yess there’s unrequited angst, there’s self-sabotaging angst, there’s domestic fluff, there’s falling in love and bantery fluff, bunch of good stuff <3

As to ships with similar vibes: The closest I’ve seen so far is honestly weirdly close, it’s the protagonists from a romance comedy josei called Dame na watashi ni koishite kudasai or Please love useless me! I don’t want to spoil but there’s even the guy needing to move on from a doomed love + emotional distance issues and the gal slowly invading his personal life/social circle and my god… They were coworkers, he was rude, he’s a workaholic, he’s reliable, she’s sunshine and needs to get some reality checks... The banter. THE BANTER. He represses and she copes by simping for fictional characters. He made, like, a mutual aid community for ex-gangsters. They dress up in silly costumes sometimes. They’re weeeird about each other in an unlabelable way before dating in a way (in a fun marchil in canon way). It’s so funny she’s cracking open his convoluted personal drama like her morning newspapers. There’s more there’s so much more. Give up on your dreams, make money, love loses 🔥🔥 It’s honestly just a great fun read, it’s such a mood. Haven’t read the sequel yet but there’s one so really if it hooks you you’ll be fed well and for a while. The greatest bits are too spoilery but here, have the vibe.

Howl’s Moving Castle, specifically the book, and there’s a ton of themes and narratives that are so fitting for them that I couldn’t possibly all list, I already made a post on it here if you’re interested in all the details and similarities and my AU thoughts haha.

Teen Titans 2003 the show, Beast Boy x Starfire. THAT’S RIGHT I’M A BBSTAR, BAM! 💥🫶 Jokester that’s dependable x sweet and idealistic but strong and protective. Short gremlin and tall beauty. Friends-coworkers to lovers. Very soft fluffy slice of life ship I like it a lot, and I wrote a fic for it hehe. Might do more one day, I have a bunch of prompts written down and a series I really wanted to get to sob.

I almost forgot to mention Shrek. It’s SO FUNNY how well it goes sometimes… Chil Shrek, Laios Donkey, Marcille Fiona. I want to say Mickbell could be Farquaad but even Mick doesn’t deserve this slander… Shrek 2 fear that he’s not prince charming enough for her oughh. Laios getting to be a horse good for him good for him. Winged Lion singing I need a hero. Someone stop me.

There’s also zenmiyo from Touge Oni but no one reads that </3 I gotta get to my review/lore analysis about that manga it’s sooo good a fave read of mine from last year. Like it’s so fucking good. It keeps just ramping up and getting more crazily good. Scrolling through some pages rn and it’s a unique blend of comedy, philosophy and awe-inspiring visuals and creativity. Well, sort of like late Dunmeshi actually. If it had a fandom any bigger I’d be all over it constantly. And I’d also recommend Harahara Sensei / Timebomb Teacher if it had any english translation, one of my fave mangas also. It’s about mafia, and a goody two shoes willing to go through a corruption arc to save her sister x stern rude mafioso who’s there bc he’s poor and on a revenge mission, never had any other option growing up etc etc. Ok he’s not that Chilchuck but the dynamic does have that "grow up and see the world for what it is, a shithole. It’s been hell for me" vs "ok you have a point. But also have you considered not sacrificing your humanity and emotions in a self-destructive pursuit" (not that she’s in the position to talk lmaoo) like ohh my goood him throwing his popsicle stick in the fire that she lit over a corpse, it haunts me.

From the marchil Discord it’s also fun to notice ships some of us share… Csm asaden, some combination of LotR elf x short guy, fair amount of dunmeshi ships overlap too. Haven’t found the overall common thread quite yet and I’m forgetting many that have come up but lol some off the top of my head.

HOY! Here are my info for the BLLK matchup exchange. Preference: I prefer to be paired with a male character who's part of the Neo Egoist League. Personality: funny, laid back, smart, sometimes bossy and I can be sassy. I loooooove to tease people -- even those I've just met, to test anothera limits (I even sometimes don't know when to stop so others need to remind me to be gentle lol), joking around and having fun while doing various activities. I love traveling and eating at the restaurant, going to the cinema and discovering new cultures and places. I don't like boring, disobedient and inefficient people and when things don't go my way. I also value my independence as well and can be on my own without any problem. Physically: east asian, black short hair (two blocks haircut), I wear sport and practical clothes like cargo pants, sneakers and unicolor t-shirts. Mostly black and white. I also have the same haircut as Nicolas Brown in Gangsta and more of the slim build side. Lately, I discovered banana bags and I love these. Someone has also told me I look like a R&B singer. Love Languages: Receiving: physical contact. Giving: words of affirmation. I start to work on your matchup very soon :) If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!

Oughh first time doing one of these exchanges :) sorry it took a bit long!!

So, I was thinking —

KARASU TABITO.

♡ stop I thought he was literally the only correct answer.

♤ because you two're so ... similar!

♧ anywayyy — I was thinking some blunt introduction from him. Giving him some sassy and blunt remark back, let THAT lead to a long friendly banter — congrats, you've ready made it to his people-who-aren't-mediocre list :)

♡ and ough he's glad you can talk with him like this — he messes with you a lot. It miiight seem like you two are insulting each other, but he's being affectionate. (You know, he could talk with you all day. You're funny, AND smart—oh come on, of course he'd want to talk with you!)

♡ tease him all you want <3 (this man will not back down in the slightest.)

♡ I bet he'd love spending time with you traveling or being outside and all that. Sure you could go to that restaurant. Sure you could go to the mall. Sure you could take the plane to France. — what I'm trying to say is that he'd be here for all that going out stuff (as long as it's not next to bodies of water lol).

♧ Oh, and sure he'd love to learn new cultures in new places with you <3 (maybe that's his favorite part of traveling.)

♡ ^ so because of all that I think most of your dates will be out doing various fun things that pique both of your interests. It's never boring out there with him.

♡ came to me randomly but he would despise canceled flights or postponed activities etc. He is ready to get two shitty layovers and 0 sleep if it meant plans would stay the same.

♡ but, hey — maybe sometimes he'll just pull up a laptop and watch soccer games with you. With all the notes and stuff. Make you analyze the game with him. (And not be afraid to call you out on certain things and you doing the same thing... maybe remind each other to take it easy on each other?)

♡ would absolutely nag your head off about subjects he likes. Is more than ready to study with you — actually it was like he was expecting it. Or wanted to.

♧ He likes that you're independent, he doesn't want you constantly clinging to him and him to you. My guy doesn't want to feel suffocated (and he bets you don't want to either. Totally gets it and might even do the same thing).

♡ I don't think he's touchy, per se — he's casual with a lot of his affections. But he does give them away easily.

♡ ahemrgh, he's kind of guy to swing your joined hands back and forth while walking. The type of guy to wrap his arm around your shoulder to bring you a tad closer. Ahem.

... aaand I don't know what else to put. Here ya go bestie. Lowkey... I fell asleep in between and had a 2 hour nap (i shouldn't havs done this so late). But this was really fun, dude. I can't believe I haven't done anything like this sooner. Anyway! (Do i need to tag you still?? Also if i did this wrong i expected that at least a little lol) <3

*CLEARS MY THROAT* OC asks for the two most important boys <3 3. What were their first impressions of each other? How does that compare to their impressions of each other now?

6. Do they have any shared interests/hobbies? Do they ever do these hobbies together?

20. What is their best memory together?

Eeeee hi, Bo, bbyy!! Thank you so much for the ask! 🫶💕

And eee you're so sweet, I cry 😭💕

3. What were their first impressions of each other? How does that compare to their impressions of each other now?

Nico's first and current impressions are by far the most drastically opposite. At first, when Niners was presented as his partner, Nico absolutely despised the guy. He had his reasons of course - one of which was connected to his sister's death -, so it wasn't just baseless but still. As a result, his attitude was quite unpleasant at first, swinging like a pendulum from disinterest/apathy to irritation and anger.

Now, he sees Niners for what he truly is - a valuable partner, both at work and in life, someone worthy of trust and respect, someone extremely smart and interesting, compassionate and selfless. Most importantly, he sees a person, an individual with his own likes, dislikes, personality, interests, opinions, etc. Even though he may not say it directly or aloud all that often, Nico is extremely proud of Niners and his personal growth.

Niners started out neutral but still polite and friendly towards Detective Lallas, slowly growing more and more intrigued, trying to understand his partner better. That was no easy feat since irrational reactions caused by emotional outbursts were hard to grasp and find logical explanations for. The more Niners learned, the greater was his respect for Nico and all the things he accomplished.

Now, Niners can't imagine himself without Nico (the feeling is mutual, of course, but for Niners this has a bigger impact). This experience, everything they both went through, made Niners into who he is, and for that he is forever grateful! There are no words to describe the amount of love, care and loyalty he feels towards his human partner. The feelings of awe and adoration that swell in Niners' heart are so vast and deep, absolutely limitless. This troubled man with his own flaws and issues is deserving of so much love and compassion and Niners is more than happy to provide that, not asking for anything in turn (however, this selfless gesture doesn't go unnoticed. Nico isn't the type to express his affection through words but he has his own ways of showing that Niners means a whole lot to him).

Both are very glad to have met each other <3

(Can you tell that I love gushing about their attitudes towards each other, especially once they have realized certain things about each other and developed a bond? Oughh I love my boys so much 😭)

6. Do they have any shared interests/hobbies? Do they ever do these hobbies together?

They both like music and play instruments. Albeit, different ones - Nico knows how to play the guitar and drums (mostly plays the former since that's what he has at home), while Niners learned how to play the piano. They do also listen to stuff together from time to time!

Another thing that they enjoy doing is playing chess together! I even had this little scene in my head where Nico tells Niners to play fair without even thinking of ever giving in. Nico considers winning against Niners fair and square an accomplishment since his partner is basically a super computer :D

Not technically a shared hobby but Niners looooves reading books! He has lots of 'em - some bought or gifted to him by Nico, some bought with his own money. And sometimes he reads them out loud to Nico when they're both either chilling on the couch or on the bed together. Falling asleep to Niners' deep and soothing voice reading a fantasy adventure story is one of Nico's favorite pastimes <3

Another fun thing that they do together when they have the time is watching detective shows and nitpicking them to bits ahahdhd

Nico is usually the one shit talking the shows, rambling about how dumb and unrealistic stuff is or how nothing makes sense. Niners finds it pretty entertaining. Sometimes this turns into a discussion about what they would've done or what would've worked better for the scene or crime solution in whatever episode they were watching.

20. What is their best memory together?

They have a lot of great memories together so it's hard to choose. Plus some of 'em would be spoilers so I'll keep 'em a secret 👀 Gotta read the comic that I'll make one day to find out 👀

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

oooof ask for hozier recs and i shall deliver!! i've been obsessed with him i fear...

my personal rn is probably Too Sweet, but my most played song of 2023 was All Things End. beautifully moving (as in i was sobbing for the entire song the first time i heard it), i just adore the way he describes love.

more personal favorites: Through Me (this song is insane actually!! can't describe it with words.), From Eden (one of the best love songs i've ever heard), Angel of Small Death (soo insanely addictive, his voice in this one ugh) and Movement (soft and beautiful and the very first song of his that I heard). The Eat Your Young EP is a wonder in itself but tbh so is everything else,,,,

now for some specifically sugu coded songs: Through Me and All Things End, Who We Are from his last album (the lyrics... my days the lyrics are so beautiful), Blood Upon the Snow!! (written for God of War Ragnarok, it's so good ??), Almost (Sweet Music) (be still my foolish heart, don't ruin this on me ✊😔)

but like i said, every time i hear a Hozier song it's sugu coded in my head... the lyrics always make sense to me. the way they're always so poetically romantic, yet in many of them there's a lingering pain underneath, wether it's because the love is already gone or because the love is simply way too much for just one heart to handle... i'm not okay.

fun fact, i once fell asleep listening to him and dreamt that it was suguru singing... and you know what it makes so much sense, i'll take it.

this got kinda long i'm sorry :(( anyways i hope you have a great day/night

(perhaps i shall write a lil' sugu thing inspired by too sweet)

NOE !!!! finally getting to this……. thank you so much for the recs!!! 🥺🥺 i appreciate it sm…… putting some of my thoughts under the cut hehe

I LOVE TOO SWEET . SO MUCH. it was the first song of his i listened to and wowwwwwww does it go hard….. so catchy and good and just. augh. IT’S SO SUGUCODED TO ME…. esp depression era sugu….. the lyrics are just gorgeous and so him. “but while in this world // i think i’ll take my whiskey neat // my coffee black and my bed at three // you’re too sweet for me”…. :’3 my baby

FROM EDEN IS SUCH A BOP . i loveee the instrumental ……. AND THE LYRICS . ”honey you’re familiar like my mirror years ago // idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword” <- BANGERRRR I CRIED . i am thinking many knight sugu thoughts ngl…. “i slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door” THINKING MORE SUGU THOUGHTS but specifically cult leader sugu …. aughhh 😔😔

angel of small death & the codeine scene……… tell me why this one made me so insane . such a tasty title and instrumental and lyrics i’m just????? i feel this way abt all of these but this one is so sugucoded too 😭 “freshly disowned in some frozen devotion”…. that’s our guy <333

EAT YOUR YOUNG IS SO CRAZY GOOD OUGHH….. i love love loveeee the “seven new ways that you can eat your young” part 😵‍💫😵‍💫 soso addicting. the lyrics are great and his voice is just soooo……. i don’t even know . i’m a little obsessed . “it’s quicker and easier to eat your young”…….. hhhhhhhhHH very sugucoded too ofc . any mention of eating is automatically a sugu reference 🙏

movement is super catchy !!!!! kinda relaxing too…… very soft. i rlly like the chorus :33 gives me waltz vibes…… kinda haunting…….

all things end + through me are soso pretty!!!! goshhhh his voice is nice……. i love the final part of all things end!!! w the synchronized clapping!!!!! so good …. and the lyrics for through me are so tasty . “with each grave, i think of loss // and i can only think of you // and i couldn’t measure it”…….. nomnom

ohhhhhh who we are is so beautiful :(((( his voice sounds so tender ….. i def get the sugu vibes here too!!!!! the feeling of something important slipping through your fingers …. “this phantom life, it sharpens like an image // but it sharpens like a knife” 😵‍💫😵‍💫 vert tasty . very sugu.

I’VE HEARD BLOOD UPON THE SNOW BEFORE BC OF RAGNAROK….. godddd it’s so. chillingly beautiful. the instrumental scratches my brain just right …… and the LYRICS . “too all things housed in her silence // nature offers a violence”….. “the parent forced to eat its young before i grows”…… it’s very . Raw . i like it a lot :3

AND FINALLY….. almost (sweet music). SO GOOD. i adore this instrumental and vibe so much + the lyrics are obv super pretty….. “i laugh like me again — she laughs like you”…… i love how light this one sounds in comparison to some of the other ones!!! a summer song for sure… a lil bittersweet….. and the chorus is literally SO addicting i can’t stand it……. BUT YES THIS ONE IS SO VERY SUGU. NOE. IM TEARING UP 😭😭 “be still my foolish heart // don’t ruin this on me”…. the idea of sugu thinking this…. maybe an au where he slowly recovers after his almost-defection….. or a childhood friends to lovers au…… i dunno. but my brain is spinning. i love him :(((((((

PHEWWW THOSE WERE GOOD . i love his voice sm….. i think my favs out of these options are too sweet, almost (sweet song), from eden and maybeeee angel of sweet death/eat your young…. but they were all super catchy :’3 thank you sm for these recs noe… sugu has invaded my brain

[frozenhi-chews]

Wait you should tell me (and everyone else reading this) all about your favourite bugs :] please :]

HIFUDHHHHHIOOOOOUGHHHH BUGS. OUGHH BUGS. INSECTS AND SPIDERS AND ROLLIE POLLIES AND SLUGS AND SNAILS!!!

They're quite possibly my favorite types of animals on this planet. I think they're only tied with marine life, cuz I love those guys as well. Seriously, my mom nicknamed me Bug because when I was a baby, i was "as cute and snug as a bug." And then I grew up to love bugs so it FIT!! Heck my dad shared some photos of a spider and I instantly went "YOOO CATS FACE SPIDER!!" They legitimately look like they have a cartoon kitty face for an abdomen. They're such a brilliant and amazing orange, and they're just cute! They're also a type of orb weaver. And orb weavers can get HUGE

Speaking of spiders, a couple that you DO actually want in your home are wolf spiders and jumping spiders. They don't make webs, they're often born outside so they're capable of just being let out, and they'll just eat the bugs and pests in your home and leave. I am not kidding, I have never seen a jumping spider stay in one person's house longer than three days.

Rollie pollies (or pill bugs, potato bugs, isopods) are actually crustaceans. Rrlated more to crabs and lobsters. Have ya ever heard of the giant isopod in the deep? Yeah! THEY'RE COOL HUH? They're also neat little scavengers and will eat almost anything, especially dead and rotting leaves and plants. Mostly those. They also live in large families and hibernate.

Dragonflies are just cool. I love calling them helicopters cuz they are just that. Being able to zip up and down and backwards and forwards and hover. They're also predators, meaning they hunt other bugs. And the bigger ones have quite a bite. Ask me, the local bug handler, how I know that bfiejdj

I don't have much info on millipedes and centipedes. They're just cool. Though you've got to be careful when handling centipedes. Those things are venomous, and some can even deliver a VERY nasty bite. I haven't been bitten by one that's dangerous to humans, but yeah. They've got a strong bite.

Speaking of strong bites, or pincers, I STILL CAN AND WILL DEFEND EARWIGS. They are COOL. They have a PINCER on their BUTT. I have seen albino ones where they're just pure white. Yeah they can get a bit stinky but thats also pretty cool imo (says the one who spent hours hunting for bugs fiejdjw). They don't crawl in your ears at all. I'm sure if they were called something different, they'd be less hated. Also cockroaches are neat, fite me.

Pelican spiders is quite possibly the most ridiculous spider I have ever seen. And I've seen ogre-faced orb weavers and those spiders with smiles on their abdomen. They're a more ancient species of spider where their long fangs are used more as an assassin thing. Pretty cool right? Man that spider can PELICAN. (Seriously look these guys up I love them SO MUCH)

Deaths head hawkmoths are probably my favorite moths. They're pretty big and can squeak (did you know that certain bugs, such as moths and beetles, can squeak? Yeah! Moths do it by pushing air out their proboscus and the beetles that squeak have large mandibles). Deaths head moths have a skull-like pattern on their thorax and they're just GORGEOUS. I love them. Also look up rosy maple moths! I love moths!

Honeybees are pretty docile and can be picked up and even pet. I've pet a few bees. Also wasps are cool. They're just gorgeous to me. A lot of the time, just leave em be. Hold still while they're around you, don't be afraid of them, and they'll buzz off. Yellow jackets do this anyway. They don't really hunt humans unless you did something to their hive

Anyways I'm. I've done a lot of bug facts. Have fun with these!!

[chiimeramanticore]

do you have a favorite moment from your experience playing fnv?

ough its hard to narrow it down to just one, theres so many moments in this game both intentional and not that are so good . i loved all the quests in the ultra luxe and gomorrah, i loved boone's quest about his dead wife lol , more recently i loved the great khans stuff (even if fighting those deathclaws was a pain in the ass it was rly rewarding finally figuring out how to beat them) but i have two specific moments i think will stick w me for a LONG time, one intentional and one unintentional

the (mostly) intentional one was killing benny . ive talked abt him before so ill keep it brief but i had happened to play the game in such a way that made me like. grow to know and like him more over time? at first it was just blind annoyance and dislike, he's the guy who shot me, obviously. once i actually met him i liked his stupid charming demeanor, and upon getting out of his trap w just a good speech check, i felt like we had developed a mutual soft spot for each other (even if we were still opponents and had every reason to hate each other). i found him again at the legion camp and exhausted all his dialogue, and the more i talked to him the more i realized- not only does benny have a really human background and motivations, he's not too dissimilar to me and/or my courier . and i felt kinda silly for hating him this entire time! i suddenly liked him, i didnt want him to die! but letting him escape is crazy hard to pull off and even if you do he's still gone from the story after that . i wound up killing him in the legion arena bc it only felt fair to give him a fighting chance, and both of us being kinda shitty at stabbing each other was just this perfect bittersweet ending to our time together. i still wear his suit basically any time i dont need better armor on, and yes the implications of this given my new position on the strip keep me up at night too im gonna make art abt it eventually dont worry

the unintentional thing was early on in my adventures w yes man. id been watching a lot of like, atmospheric fnv videos in the bg where they walk in-game some long stretch between towns, and i wanted to do the walk from primm to the strip like the courier was originally supposed to. plus i modded the game to have a custom radio station w old country songs i like lol so it was an excuse. so im walking w yes man and we're maybe halfway done w the trip when we come across this kinda scenic view (this game doesnt let me screenshot so its a phone pic, hence the colors are a bit off):

and i stop to admire it with him right as it's only make believe by conway twitty comes on- which is a song about an unrequited relationship (ie "we can pretend in public that you love me, i can hope that you love me, but i know it's only make believe") but standing there next to an f/o while it plays is OUCHHH OWWWW OUGHH. its heartwrenching. even in-character, my six would feel similarly abt yes man since he's yknow. just a robot. and in the fiction i can only imagine like. standing there and having the view and the song and yes man just a foot away at most and not having confessed yet and. long story short i think this is the first time they tell him they love him. so now this random stretch of highway in new vegas is wildly bittersweet for me and nobody else lmao

[sourbombz]

yuma kokohead as well

ALRIGHT LETS GO . Stealing the way you categorized them because yah organization Nice

Shinigami: 15/10. Idk if that's high enough. I think it's known that I ship these two queerplatonically a lot, I love them queerplatonically. BUT I love them romantically too!! You in particular don't need it explained why they are so great but yah, love them!! I don't even know where I'd start?? Number One being my Favorite and his and her relationship? Their conversation??? AAAAA!!! Iiii they make me sickkkkk oughh (/pos) No coherent thoughts I am simply shaking them both violently & affectionately

WDO

Pucci: 2/10 I don't know? Not for me? Like maybe if we had more time with them I would have grown really fond of them but for the life of me as a ship I can't bring myself to like them at all, I think they should be friends though

Melami: 3/10 Idkm I don't think about them, no thanks

Aphex: 2/10. Don't think about em, also no thanks

Zilch: 3/10 also don't think about. Uhhhh. Also no thanks

Zange: 0/10 No. He can have the Old Faker Number One so that we can have our Old Man Yaoi though.

Yakou: 0/10 Hard pass, Majorly not my thing. In a non-romantic/sexual dynamic they're EVERYTHING to me though!!

Halara: 6/10 they r cutev

Desuhiko: 4/10 they are fine

Fubuki: 5/10 their ship nameis clockhead and I am not kidding I am so easy to win over that's a banger ship name it earns them at least One Point. Otherwise yeah they can be cute, no real input on them as a romantic dynamic though outside of their ship name and my bias

Vivia 7/10 No but I used to be obsessed with them. And I still find them cute! Their bond means a lot to me, but like yeah I don't ship them as much and I've been taken over by a few other Yuma ships as a preference. also not to randomly bring up rarepair I like but like I think Viva should consider Makoto, please they'd be cute source: trust me. Okay that's all

Yuma Ramenhead (real Kokohead. I Call him Ramenhead. For ease in knwoing who tf I mean): 5/10 I think they're funny but like please add Makoto in and it's just really funny. I simply like it because I like things that make me laugh and that's litrally all. (There's more i could say. I wish we saw them properly interact desperately. But yah.)

Kurumi -5/10 I do Not like them. I hate them I hate how they're shoved at us like why do we need a love intrest character like this again?? I THINK I like em platonically? but also my dislike for Kurumi as a character/my opinion of her actively going down further somehow each time I replay the game & everything about her makes it Hard for me to really. Like. Care. About their bond at All Hhh. I dont like themmmm

Amatarasu

Makoto okay I have to straight up say I don't know. like, my opinion changes each and everytime I think about them. My feelings are far too complicated for me to neatly fit a number here at all, I love their bond, it's deeply important to me, I 1000% see the appeal of shipping them, I don't know how I personally see their dynamic and im not sober enough to activate critical thinking. When I play again eventually maybe I'll form a better opinion

Yomi 9/10 okay look. Look. I. Don't know how to explain Why I love them so much right now really I just feel Oddly Happy each time I see them. BUT I will say *Number One* x Yomi is banger oughhh theyre so fun, I will not defend myself I think I'm right. shoving the pathetic wet guy in there is hilarious too so yeah. Shove Makoto in there and it's Even. More. Fun!!!!! So yah

Martina 4/10 I can see it, I don't really have an opinion i care enough to elaborate on rn though

OK the rest of Amatarasu Is 3 and under OK. That's all I'm doing here

heyyy mack it's 1am you know what that means

fun fact!! parrot is starting to show their true self. them without all the pain and fear and manipulation. they're very gentle, very sweet, very loving. they're very loyal and protective. they're very playful and mischievous.

they're showing that affectionate side to amie and ori. they're gonna start being more and more like their real self over time. slowly but surely. until they get pulled in.

it's a side of parrot no one's really seen before. they're the sweetest, silliest lil guy. it just all got stamped out years ago. they're going to go around the servers hugging people. they're going to play pranks and mess with Sam and jade and mark. they're going to try to preen amie's gills (and ori's, if he lets them) despite the fact that they are not feathers (LOOKS SIMILAR ENOUGH!!)

OUGHH AGGGGHH MY HEART DUDE... parrot getting to heal and be happy... That's like one of my favorite arcs for characters is when theyve been through hell and finally get to be happy again.

Amie would let them 100% he'd think it's funny. Ori would do that thing cats do where you touch their ears and then it twitches.

For the ask game!!

9. What's your all time favourite movie/tv show?

:]

oughh see i am the worst bitch to ask this kinda question bc i just. do not watch movies/shows. i dont have the attention span for them, and most of the time just. cannot get into new stuff, either bc of lack of interest or because im scared ill hyperfixate and die.

to compensate, i will tell you about a movie that is not my favorite in the slightest and the most recent show i watched!

so i watched this movie in ?? first grade?? in russia. its called arthur and the invisibles, it a french (?) movie abt some fucking kid whos. trying to save his grandfathers farm/house/farmhouse?? and in the process gets shrunk down to teeny size and helps the teeny people. do. something idkf. i remember very little about it other than some details that were forcibly injected into my brain fairly recently and the fact that the like. pre-teen or teen protag had a love interest twice his age. and it was!! uncomfortable!! and i dont know how they let that slide, but that movie was made it. idk what year, but if i had to guess, probably early 2000s?? so. yeah those werent really the best times...

anyway yeah i was almost completely convinced id hallucinated that movie until maybe 2 or 3 months ago?? when i watched a wayneradiotv vod (or highlights video god if i remember) where he played a game based on that movie. and it was bad. and i am upset that it turned out to be real. and it had at least one sequel for some fucking reason?? so thats. interesting.

the most recent show i watched was steven universe! which i rewatched the entirety of in like. a week. and i liked it! i hadnt watched it since. idfk when, actually, but its been a long time. i hadnt watched a lot of the season 5 episodes, id only seen the finale bc everyone was talking abt it (and how bad it was) when it aired and i wanted to see for myself. and id never seen the movie or future before, so that was an experience. annd yeah now i have a lot to say abt that show which can be summarized with "if it was allowed to run for several more seasons it wouldve been godlike" bc. that show is based on time. thats the number one thing abt it. that it takes time to heal. time is the center of its fucking pilot they knew what they were doing. so ofc when it was rushed it showed and was bad, that show cant be rushed in order to be good. no show can, really, but especially not that one. anyway

yeahh not really a movies/shows guy lmao. envy those who are, but. ill just stick to. the one thing im hyperfixating on and virtually nothing else. forever.

[whatevahwhatevah]

the way you draw eric makes my brain do front flips.

I imagine him being a mix of pretty and handsome and your art style nails it flawlessly—

Aahh thank you! I'm the same, of course, it's very obvious by the way I draw him :')

I love the idea that he has always been a pretty boy, even since he was a child, with his mismatched eye color, his pointy eyelashes, his pink chubby cheeks 😭🫶🏼 he is done something terrible but no one can't really stay angry at him for too long because he is cute like that..I bet he knows his eyes are weapons of manipulation.

I have this HC of him being Genderfluid so I can draw him as a gorgeous fat princess one day, and a handsome man wearing his favorite sweater the other. Idk, I just love him so much oughh- I even have an entire folder on Pinterest with his wardrobe..maybe I'll share something if you guys are curious to see what clothes I imagine him in.

oh! iii/trey/michael for the character meme!

TREEEEYYY MY LITTLE STARBUCKS PINK DRINK

First impression: when he first showed up in Duel Links in like. i think like late 2021?? I was like "oh ok so that puppet freak from earlier has a little brother, INTERESTING" <--*ominous thunder as i think about How Bad Yugioh Siblings Get Me* didnt think too much of him beyond that except maybe "oh i dont. know how i feel about. his deck archetype"

Impression now: OUGHH....TREY....TREY MICHAEL III MY LITTLE GUY. i didnt expect him to be my favorite Arclight brother but he's just. So good. He's 15 and he wants his family to be alright and he wants to be useful and he wants to have friends and his design is adorable and he has a SWORD. Sobbing crying pounding my fists on the pavement. He's like the embodiment of 🙃 as a person. Smiling but barely keeping it together. I would kill for him.

Favorite moment: HIS WHOLE DUEL WITH YUMA. IS PROBABLY MY TOP FAVORITE ZEXAL DUEL STILL but especially when he's just like "if i do this maybe I can be of some use to my father and my family *literally attempts a murder-suicide that almost ends the world*. It blasted my brain clear into the stratosphere. ALSO the moment in Zexal II when he throws a sword at Mr. Heartland. HOT PINK BITCH NAMED BREAKFAST.... ATTACK!

Idea for a story: I think a post-canon Zexal story where Yuma invites both Trey and Vector over for some kind of hang out would be, really really funny. They're gonna get into a fight about who's closer to Yuma and it's only gonna dissolve when Trey realizes Vector has Fuckign Biblical Times Era Memories and can ask him about 400 B.C. era art and architecture. They're talking about Persepolitan columns now. Yuma just wants to play duel monsters.

Unpopular opinion: IDK IF IT'S UNPOPULAR OR NOT BUT I STILL. DONT KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT CHRONOMALIES. ive said it before the concept is cool but WHY. DID THEY GIVE A DECK FULL OF INDIGENOUS ARTWORK TO A LITTLE WHITE BOY. AND MAKE IT ALL ~MYSTICAL.~ ERM. WELL !

Favorite relationship: I do absolutely adore his friendship with Yuma and how that's progressed over the course of the show, but his bond with his family makes me especially absolutely beastmode Hooting Hollering Crying. This kid is loyal almost to a fucking fault and he just loves the people he's close to SO much. HE JUST WANTED TO BE USEFUL FOR HIS DAD. HE JUST WANTED HIS FAMILY TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. GOD. shoutout also to his dynamic with Quattro, which I love. guy going freak mode and his baby brother watching the carnage like <:)

Favorite headcanon: autistic with the Ancient Civilization special interest Of All Time. In a few years time this kid's gonna come out as nonbinary and start messing around with neopronouns we can only dream of. Surprisingly ruthless board game player. Picks up slang from Yuma and can't stop. Likes fizzy bubbly drinks.

2&23 for ur genshin guys :-3

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

OUGHH um. i can't really choose but for starters i like that the both of them have soft spots for children despite their jobs or personalities (childe and scara in that order. to clarify) and they both have hobbies you wouldn't really expect of them if you get me (scara's enjoyment of doll making and childe's never-ending desire for a good fight. eugh)

For scara specifically i love his lore i think. the way he goes from an innocent kid to literally ripping his heart out and distancing himself from human emotions so he can be "pure" and "achieve divinity" and "won't be tainted by humanly filth" & whatnot and then the way he constantly fails to do so. he briefly reaches godhood before failing that too and now he's a college student in the debt of a 500 year old child god. actually speaking of i also love his relationship w said child god. nahida scaramouche found family worsties besties codependent coworkers fucked up siblings. i think it's funny and they make me ill & diseased. also the arguably cannibalistic thoughts were funnay. to me (i say arguably bc. i don't think it counts when he's not human. ? idk)

For childe i like how he's still compassionate and human. in the sense that he's not a stone cold killing machine despite falling into literal hell when he was like 14 and his current attempt to become a weapon. he's a complex character and he drives me up the walls i hope he DIES. freakguy who loves fighting and getting his ass kicked who houses an otherworldly being in him and is fucking. devastatingly loyal to his family and his god i'm going to KILL myself. he likes fishing. he's probably going to end up killing himself in a battle. i hope he explodes.

23. Favorite picture of this character?

This is self explanatory i think.
