#U know when ur playing a game and you pick the wrong dialogue choice

[gifti3]

okay im back with more for this arranged marriage AU! Heres the last thing i wrote

this time i made something longer--Asmo and MC doing their little meeting/date before agreeing to marriage its fun check it out :]

the only warning is "an upset asmo getting in ur personal space'" other than that i think thats it!

Tomorrow you were supposed to meet your possible future fiancé. This type of affair was not a first time thing for you so you already had an idea of how things would go. Which was the two of you being forced to interact for several hours.

Though you knew what was coming, was it not possible to be a little nervous considering who it was you were meeting?

Asmodeus Morningstar--one of the most influential families in Nefarelin. Their was no shortage of exceptional members in that tree. And to be crass, every other potential spouse you met before were like dried leaves in comparison.

And this didn't even factor Asmodeus's own appeal and popularity. You'd only seen him in passing a few times but you could tell he was quite beautiful even from a distance. On top of that, the general public were strangely obsessed with him. You weren't completely sure why, but he must be very likeable if that's the case.

God, how many people have probably asked for his hand in marriage by now? You could only wonder.

All around it would be pretty foolish to turn this down. And that's why you were nervous…. Your parents were giving you a choice. But it was one of those choices where the answers were 'yes' or 'hmm, okay I suppose'. You did not want to know what would happen if you dare declined.

You'd already considered the logistics of this situation, dwelled on it for days. And it would definitely be a loveless marriage from your side. And that was something normal…but you were fine with how your life was currently! You didn't want to deal with any expectations romantic or otherwise from a spouse.

And what about Asmodeus.

He was well loved by many, had a reputation for enjoying the nightlife and being the center of attention. It seemed highly unlikely that a man like him was looking to "settle down" all of a sudden!

Your hands stop fiddling with your hair.

Wait.

Maybe this arrangement could work.

~

God this is so uncomfortable.

Maybe you underestimated Asmodeus. For some reason the first time your eyes met his saccharine ones, you struggled with maintaining contact. Each time, it felt like he was staring straight into your mind.

Perhaps it was just your nerves but either way you were overwhelmed. You didn't feel like yourself so had trouble talking.

Luckily for you, Asmodeus didn't notice or didn't care as he had been talking nonstop this entire time.

"Hellooo?"

"Oh--sorry what did you say?"

Asmodeus repeats his question while fanning himself. "I asked if you wanted to rest for a minute. I need a break from the sun."

"Okay…"

It was sunny today but not too hot to take a walk. Though you had been outside for a good while with Asmodeus. You both make your way to a gazebo that provided good shade around this time of day.

You rest your elbows on on of the railings and prop your head in your hands. A small sigh escapes you.

"Can you make it any more obvious that you don't want to be here?"

Asmodeus rests a small distance away, smiling but you're not so sure if he's being lighthearted about it.

It was a fair observation. These meetings always felt like a waste of time to you. They were forced interactions. The worst type. And you already knew you'd agree with the arranged marriage at the end anyways.

"Sorry, I'm just a little tired."

You look back at him and try to give a friendly(?) smile. Actually why not just be straightforward now?

"It's kind of hard to believe you want to get married. It doesn't seem like something that would interest someone like you."

"Eh…I guess there comes a time in everyone's life where they think about these things."

Very vague.

Asmodeus leans back in his chair, looking up as if he's scraping through his brain. "But I don't recall running into you beforehand. I definitely would have remembered…so how would you know that?"

"I've heard a lot about you. Kind of impossible not to."

You had a bit of an idea about him before this whole situation. But once it got out that he was "interested" in proposing, well the maids had no problem telling you everything they knew. It was definitely not all true, but it pretty much confirmed what you already felt.

"That makes sense. Isn't it great that now you get to experience me in person instead of by word-of-mouth~"

"…Uh huh. Well I feel like I should tell you now. That I plan to say yes."

"Say yes?"

"Say yes to marrying you."

You watch for any negative reactions but nothing. Though you were still sure he wasn't really interested in marriage.

"…Oh?"

"Listen I understand if you were forced into this position. In fact, I'm sure that you were. And to be honest I've never been partial to marriage myself. I always thought it wasn't in the cards for me…"

You take a step away from the railing closer to Asmodeus. "But wouldn't it be foolish to say no? Outside of the benefits it would have for my family. You're definitely one of the most sought after bachelors…and well just look at you. I'm almost a little envious…"

Asmodeus's curious face changes to something else. Something you can't really place your finger on. You just knew he didn't look very pleased.

"Well at least I know you're not blind." His fingers play with his fringe. "And that's all fine and dandy but…"

When Asmodeus stands and looks back at you your heart skips a beat. You take a step back as he takes one forward. "I hope you're ready to handle me because I don't think you can."

Oh my god what was happening?

You were frozen in place as Asmodeus trapped you against the railing between his arms. You didn't even think to push him away and just stood there stupidly.

"I-I…"

Rustling sounds from a nearby hedge, but when you both look in the direction of the noise there's giggling and the sound of retreating people.

You sigh. At least someone was enjoying the show.

You gently push at Asmodeus's chest so you can make space.

"Sorry sometimes the staff gets bored haha…er should we h-head back?"

"If that's what you want."

Asmodeus turns away from you. "I just want you to know that since this marriage is just a title I'll be sticking to my usual. Hope you don't mind~" He walks away humming to himself.

Your brows furrow…that man. Why'd he have to do all that? You weren't expecting anything different in the first place?

You let out a huge sigh. Was this going to be the norm from now on?

Well at least you both were on the same page about the marriage…. but you couldn't help but think a serious misunderstanding just occurred.

theres nothing in the sentence "He does NOT give a FUCK about that coffin. He just wants to know the bookstore hours. Who the FUCK is this man" that implies the idea that op thinks minato is cool bcuz hes depressed. The point of this dialogue is to be a fun, humorous reward for players that take time to explore. OP found this dialogue, got a kick out of it, and decided to share. the only one makeing this into a big deal about how no one treats depression/suicidal ideation seriously? is you.

if you rlly felt like op was saying that minato inhenetly being depressed and apathetic and suicidal made him cool, you couldve just... asked them? sent them a dm or ask, or hell. reword ur reblog so that it says something more like: "hey just wanna know but im not trying to be mean: are you saying that minato being depressed is what makes him cool? i cant tell from the way u worded things, pls let me know ty" instead of coming out guns (no pun intended) blazing accusing op of not understanding/caring about minatos depression.

even if the others hadnt told minato about personas and the dark hour yet, im certain he couldve pieced two and two together that something was up and these people arent acting normal (yukari and her "oh this gun? ya it's kinda like a hobby" ass im looking at u girl).

remember how minato used the evoker on the rooftop when yukari was getting attacked by that shadow? she could've died had he not awakened to his persona. it wouldnt make any sense for someone in a highly-stressful situation where one of their few new friends is about to die for their immediate choice to be: "hmm. I should try killing myself and hope for the best. that way, BOTH me and yukari can die! its a 2 for 1 special!"

especially since the black and white striped boy (dont remember his name) was egging him on to do it. i think minato would piece together that using the "gun" (evoker) would react in a way that it wouldnt have in the real world and not the dark hour.

"pick up the pace pear man. i can argue"??? no? this isn't an argument? im just saying just dont be mean lol. I havent played a persona 3 game before so im new to these characters and this world (im also still in april and havent even fought the first boss yet lol), so if ive made a mistake and this scene is actually brought up again later on and explaned, im perfectly willing to admit that im wrong and be corrected, just dont be rude about pls lol

I'm crying at Persona 3 Reload.

They managed to get the entire character of the MC said in less than 1 second of gameplay.

It is midnight, the world has plunged into darkness. Everything has turned an evil shade of green, blood is everywhere.

And other than him checking that his MP3 was okay, he doesn't even blink.

You get control of him, you discover you can look at objects:

He is literally standing in blood. the world is green. he is more interested in a construction site wall.

You go to the next screen, where they introduce the coffins that normal people are in during this time (though he doesn't know this yet)

He does NOT give a FUCK about that coffin. He just wants to know the bookstore hours. Who the FUCK is this man.

God I LOVE the P3 Protagonist.

Miraculous Ladybug aesthetics (awful edition)

Inspired by this post

Marinette: scraped knees, large bruises, the embarrassment of not getting tongue tied the one (1) time you talk to your crush, going to the ER for a concussion, depleted flowers you meant to water but got busy, getting bullied, sitting on gum, standing in the rain without an umbrella, realizing you like someone after telling yourself you wouldn't

Adrien: never showering, the feeling of soul-crushing abandonment, realizing 20 years late that someone was flirting with you, learning your lesson only to have really learned nothing at all, bone-deep exhaustion after a terrible work out, having good intentions but zero life experience, your family not calling you on your birthday, looking into the stands after a performance to see that your parents never came, guilt over something you had no way of controlling, having to be the one that deals with your parents mistakes, the silent treatment when you did nothing wrong

Ladybug: group projects where you have to choose 5 people but you have 6 friends, guilt over someone you love getting hurt, that guy ur friends with but don't like like that continually asking you out even though you've tried to let him down gently numerous times, reading a 3 am "u up?" text from someone you like at 10 am the next morning

Chat Noir: the feeling of being manipulated, HEAVY unrequited love, second-hand embarrassment, moldy cheese smell, impulsive choice that ends terribly, getting hit in the face/head/body with a yoyo, acting tough in person but crying as soon as you're alone

Gabriel: selfishness, forgetting your one living family member's birthday, losing your kid at Disneyland, feeling completely dead inside, distancing yourself so it's easier to let someone go but realizing you just isolated yourself from any form of help, mourning a loved ones death

Hawkmoth: the realization that the ends did not justify the means, manipulating others emotions to get what you want, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, smelly bug man, when your fork slides into your pancake syrup, going to prison, the smell of 45 year old trash, reading a jimmy neutron x reader smut fic that's plagiarized

Alya: typing up a paper due at 11:59 only for your computer to crash at 11:58, being the supportive friend but no one ever asking if you're okay, being manipulated then having to confront your manipulator, your family not accepting your significant other, your best friend disappearing when something bad happens only to text you 3 hours later "u good? 👀", getting lost in a zoo

Nino: song stuck in your head but it's only one line repeating over and over, feeling like an supporting role in your own life, getting cast in your dream show only to have zero lines of dialogue and 2 scenes where you react and then walk away, accidentally dropping an AirPod in the bathwater

Chloe: bullying, internalized racism, never being held accountable, showing your mom something you're proud of only for her to shoo you away because she's busy, wanting to change but not knowing how, anxiety, never being enough, being told your worst enemy is better than you in every way, meeting someone you idolize only for them to completely hate your guts as soon as they meet you, your nail breaking in your actual nail bed

Rena Rouge: babysitting devil children, starting a debate over morals only to be wrong later, being the first picked in a sport only to be told that you're off the team after the game that they would've lost without you is over, saying goodbye to your transfer student best friend and not knowing if you'll ever see them again, anxiety over playing a new instrument in front of a crowd, losing your kids in an amusement park, wet dog smell

Carapace: helplessness, weakness, getting into a fight with your Significant Other's close family member, panic attack, feeling trapped, getting on a Ferris wheel only for it to break when you're at the top, the Karate Kid sequel, tmnt knock off merchandise

Queen Bee: trying to be a better person but failing, the feeling of something sticky on your hands, swearing you're a top but everyone thinks you're a power bottom AT MOST, Parental Disappointment, trying to help but making things worse, customers yelling at you in front of your boss

Couple asks + bonus Dylas

Hi all, I’ve been feeling kinda spammy by answering all asks one by one each weekend, so I’ve put them all together here. Also replying some unpopular opinions I’ve got later, some of which I could not answer by replying because character limit! I might keep doing this to avoid spamming you all!

(Longish post, so you’ll get a little Dylas I’ve doodled on my sketchbook while testing some colored pencils by the end of it!)

@miraimiisu said: im reading your amazing rf4 accomplishments and im like "holy heck thats a LOT of dedication" im proud of u

Ah thanks sweet! I was really obsessed with this game back then, and obsessive me knows no limit (for good or bad, unfortunately so I’ve learned...) But yeah, feels good that you’re proud, makes me feel proud too!

For those wondering, they’re probably referring this post, with some screenshots such as:

Everyone’s 100 friendship points dialogue (and here’s how I did it)

Every pet name response choice for every bachelor

9,999,999 gifts for the boys (and girls here)

What happens when you buy the 198,000,000g house

Here’s the max money cap too, just out of curiosity

@butterballin said: I don't suppose you covered the bachelorette pet name reactions? Also the reactions to the marriage pet names as I think those have new options for everyone?

No, I haven’t taken screenshots of the bachelorettes married pet names, feel free to do it if you feel like, that’s way too much work for me to go through that again so soon haha. I think I have a couple from my Dolce save, in which I’ve chosen to call her master (and she likes it pffft) and also made her call me master too, cause why the fuck not. Those are links, you can check it out. 

Also, for the bachelors I only have the reaction for the marriage pet names, now I’m kinda wondering what they say with each choice when you start dating... I know Doug’s a little shit who won’t let you pick goofy names, for instance. Wondering about the others, I never called Dylas anything other than Big D. Oh well, guess I’ll add that to the do to list for the remaster run! 👀

Anonymous said: Unpopular rf4 opinion: ..........I don’t like Leon and Forte together. I don’t think Forte finds his teasing funny or flirtatious at all and I feel like the ship is very one-sided.

Yeah I see at you mean. I don’t remember shipping them back then, since I’ve always thought Meg was way more into Forte than Leon, but I do understand where the shipping is coming. He does mention he finds her interesting I think, but I think he feels the same with Dylas, cause both are so easily flustered and easy to mess with, I guess Leon can’t help himself. I do think Leon and Forte are too different though, and I agree with you she must definitely not enjoy the teasing and the pranks he plays on her using Kiel. Forte is too stern and since she’s a knight, it’s hard for her to put her guard down, and I don’t think teasing is what would do the trick. Leon too has his guards up, and the teasing is how he cope--he needs someone he can open up instead of using his defense mechanisms, so yeah, double defense on this ship hahaa, what could go wrong? 

Digressing a bit here, I do think Leon and Dylas could make a good pair. I mean, they both have a lot in common, being both hot bishies guardians for Venti, who are now sort of displaced in a town who doesn’t look like what it used to, with no way of knowing what happened to the people they’ve left behind. I find adorable when Leon comforts Dylas about this issue, and I would like to see what they could be with some work on both sides to make it work. 

@rapidfur said: Shara is not that bad; a lot of people complain about her being forced as the main love interest and being boring, but her kind and sweet personality is nice, and she didn’t feel too shoved in my face? The intro featuring her as your lover even if ur not married to her kinda sucks, but she gets a lot of undeserved hate. >:/

Yeah, I guess Shara wasn’t all that bad after all, she was sweet and friendly and caring and had a cute design. Maybe people don’t like her as much cause there are a lot of wacky girls you can marry, and in comparison she’s undoubtedly the plainest, which doesn’t need to be a bad thing. But I’m on the side that feels strongly she is forced, I can say that because after seeing the new intro in which Micah run past all the girls to fall in the arms of Shara, I felt like maybe she was the one I was supposed to marry for the story to make sense. Even though I was going for Raven, I thought I could marry her in another save file, after marrying Shara, the canon girl. I have no idea why I thought that would be a good idea, sounds dumb now, but this is what I did. Little did I know that marriage in this game involved Aquaticus kidnapping your bride only to have you go through hell to save her before actually marrying pfft. I guess I felt bitter that after all that, I had to be married to a girl I didn’t even chose in the first place, then I stopped playing after a while. Never married Raven and I low key felt guilty for the longest time, also a bit resentful at the game for that Shara intro. 

But anyways, none of this is Shara’s fault to begin with, so I see your point where she gets lots of underserved hate. I just think that the hatred would not happen in the first place were not for that intro.

@summersquashpatch said: I posted the picture and tried to tag you but I'm not sure it worked...

I answered you twice, but the ask is still in my inbox, can you confirm me if you got an answer or two or if tumblr ate them all up? I did see the pic, thanks for showing!

Sorry for long post again, have a small, slightly smudged Dylas!
