#SKREEEEEEEEEEEE I LOVE THIS

[fareehaandspaniards]

Laurence for the character ask game :>

The Ask meme

Favourite thing about them:

The concept of “the road to hell is paved with good signs” folded into one man. Laurence did so much for the Church and for the people, and still ended up in a personalized little hell without the possibility of even finding his true self

Least favorite thing about them:

stupid lava floor during the boss fight

and his fanon image

Favorite line:

"SKREEEEEEEEEEEE" <3

(I don't want to use his cut content or 1.5 of senteces from the game)

Laurence x Gehrman probably

Not really BROtp, but I like to imagine that Gehrman has become a second father to him. Although Laurence had enough influence to keep any kind of company, he preferred to spend his time with the old hunter, asking him for advice and complaining about personal problems. In spite of his cunning and dodgy nature, Laurence was like a child with Gehrman - shy and sweet.

(Also he in childhood was a good friend of Ludwig's wife and Adeline. Him and Adeline is something)

OTP

Laurence x Rom as it was! Two scientists with big ambitions. Only he would like to “live happily ever after”, and she would like to continue her experiments in secret and ascend to higher matter.

Also Laurence x Caryll x Rom is so fucking nice. Caryll is just trapped between two horny demons.

nOTP

Doesn't exist probably. All the pairings with him are good, however, for me the only only beloved one is listed above and all the others are just good

Random headcanon

You won't meet a more stylish and fashionable person in Yharnam than Laurence. His collar is always starched, his brooch sparkles off his jacket, his clothes are ironed and washed, and his hair is combed, but not too much so that it looks more lush. And it's not even about his position or money. Probably even if he was a beggar from the street, he'd still make sure to keep up appearances at all costs. So he feels more confident, more pleasant in his own body, and he can throw his leg over his leg during the dialog, because he knows that he looks stunning. Also, when you talk to him, you can be collected and ready for everything, but still find that you unexpectedly agreed to something uncomfortable for yourself or signed without reading the contract to the end. He has mastered the art of words and can probably talk anyone down, charming you with his sly and attentive gaze at the same time.

This trait is hated with all his heart by Micolash and also disliked by Rom, but only she finds her little kink in it. Ludwig, too, can't stand long conversations with his vicar, nor his sweet, softly flowing voice, and Laurence loves to annoy him. Logarius does not understand all these tricks, and Gehrman only smiles affectionately, for he knows there is a good man hidden underneath it all.

And Caryll promises to carry a shotgun (he doesn't know how to wield a gun) with him so that Laurence won’t even try to start a conversation, but it sounds so unconvincing that Laurence uses this to annoy him once again.

Unpopular opinion

I don't want to get into a fandom debate because of the generally accepted interpretation, I can say a lot of unpleasant and subjective things :/

So about the game: his battle is not a reuse of a Cleric beast - it is individual and difficult circumstances suit the vicar the best. I hate this lava floor myself. But that's the point.

It's just that gamerbros are used to throwing shit at everything in soulslikes, and it really tires me to go into the russian fandom, just to read that the game is shit, Miyazaki is a sucker, everything is overused, complete repetition. Don't play :P Leave my games alone. I love the repetitions that occur in Miyazaki's games. You just can't read :P

Song I associate with them:

Maniac by Carpenter Brut feat. Yann Ligner (but it's more about Rom from Laurence's view so I add another one)

Puttin' on the Ritz by Taco (perfect for a headcanon phphp)

Заходи скорее by Oxxxymiron (a banger)

Favorite picture:

Every single time a character whose strength/bravery is their most outstanding character trait mentions, implies, or is said to not be strong/brave enough to handle losing or even risking a loved one, I fuckin’ melt.
