#and there are some things about SM that now make me go “hmmmmmm”

[maingh0st]

I always noticed that Warner guy is always compared to Cardan. Thoughts?

hm, wild. they live in very different categories of characters in my mind haha. I guess on a surface level, they occupy similar spaces narratively: they start out as a more antagonizing figure to the MC, but you can tell that their obsession with the MC is shot-through with attraction. and they eventually become the I Worship My Wife kind of MMCs, which is fun but not exactly uncommon in fiction.

but while Cardan is an individual schoolyard bully who represents something very personal to Jude (he is a living reminder that she does not belong in Elfhame), Warner is an active representative of an oppressive global order that has made Juliette's and countless others' lives Very Bad. the power dynamic is really different, and has to be handled a lot more sensitively. and (in my opinion) I'm... not sure it is.

I think my biggest gripe with Warner as a character (and I am really not trying to start discourse here—people enjoy what they enjoy, whatever; I thought he was hot when I was a teen, too) is that his actions are almost always presented very romantically, and the narrative rarely tells us he's wrong. Juliette is the silly little woman who just doesn't understand, but thank goodness the love interest knows that she does like him, she is attracted to him, and she does want the power he offers her. silly girl, he knows you better than you know yourself! this is not uncommon in fiction; authors seem to think that a male character knowing better than a female character and forcing her to "become powerful" is somehow girlboss feminism (SJM and the "it's your choice" nonsense 🔪)

Warner also demonstrates a frankly concerning level of obsession with Juliette (maybe another reason people try to compare him to Cardan?), going so far as to steal and memorize sections of Juliette's diary, which she feels very violated by (they're her most private, intimate thoughts from a very dark time in her life! holy shit buddy who gave you the right!). but rather than the narrative being like "wow isn't this scary and weird and a total violation of her privacy?" he gets rewarded for Knowing Her So Well and ultimately gets to be her malewife.

Cardan, on the other hand, is wrong. we know he's wrong! the author knows he's wrong! and while the narrative shows us reasons that he is the way he is, it does not use those reasons to justify him. it makes him more understandable, but he still has to apologize and change. Jude is not treated as silly for disliking and mistrusting him; she's absolutely in the right! and Cardan has to realize that he has misunderstood her and both underestimated her (not realizing just how much of a threat she is) and overestimated her (thinking that nothing really hurts her bc she's so tough).

also, Cardan is more fun. there, I said it! Warner is melodramatic and purple proses @ the reader about what a Conflicted Guy he is. Cardan is a slutty little dude with crushing self-confidence issues who gets tricked into the Number One Job He Did Not Want and decides to cope with it by being Very Silly, and then somewhere along the way realizes that he can actually do a good job at it. he oopsies his way into being Elfhame's best king. who's doing it like him?

[bastardnev]

pls.... pls Nev for the headcanons. and if you’re feeling it, Wade.

yknow initially i was just gonna do nev, but Screw It I’ll Do Wade Too Because Why Not im in the mood to write (put under a read more because of the Length)

1. Holiday headcanon

nev loves valentine’s day!! he love love LOVES to spoil his partner (i mean he already does, but now he can spoil them with Heart-Shaped Boxes Of Chocolate)

wade has a seemingly endless supply of dirty holiday sweaters. like literally, he’s got a whole box full of these sweaters in the basement and rotates between them from december 1st to the 25th (tho if he’s feelin Frisky sometimes he’ll wear them past that date, or on a random date in the middle of like. fuckin july)

2. Cooking headcanon

nev can’t cook very well at all. he can make basic things at most, but nothing TOO complicated. he makes a mean mac n cheese tho

wade i can actually see as being a pretty good chef?? can’t exactly explain why i feel this way, but he strikes me as someone who knows what he’s doing when it comes to cooking. (if we’re talking about nevrett, which let’s be real we probably are, he’s usually is the one that cooks)

3. Sleeping headcanon

nev sleeps like a Baby at night, but he’s always all spread out. like, whoever he’s sleeping with (wade) can expect to get a hand to the face at some point during the night

wade sleeps equally well, but he’s very big on stealing all the blankets for himself. he’s Quite Fun to sleep with during the winter (/sarcasm)

4. Driving headcanon

nev is the kind of driver who always pays attention to the speed limits and sticks to them, always. he refuses to go over it. he just doesn’t Want To Leave Him Be

wade likes taking car rides, and as far as he’s concerned the longer the better. they give him a chance to be alone with his thoughts -- or, if he’s with someone, he gets to bond with them since they’ll be talking for awhile

5. Bathing/showering headcanon

nev’s showers are way too long. he spends so much time thinking about shit that he doesn’t even realize that he’s spending an annoyingly long time in there (and that wade’s been knocking for the last five minutes Come On Nev)

wade on the other hand showers quite quickly and is constantly teasing nev because if he can shower in a reasonable amount of time then So Can He

6. Hugging headcanon

nev doesn’t like letting just anyone hug him. he doesn’t HATE IT when someone he doesn’t know well hugs him, but he’s far more comfortable receiving hugs from his family members or friends or partners

wade is pretty much the exact same way, he doesn’t Hate hugs from random people but he would prefer that it be someone he knows well

7. Kissing headcanon

nev loves kisses!! like literally all kinds of kisses. give him all the kisses in the World he loves them sm

anyone who kisses wade is fairly well acquainted with his tongue at this point tbh, he’s very big on using his Tongue

8. Sex headcanon

hmmmmmm nev likes it Rough

yknow i feel like wade is bigger on making love rather than straight up fucking?? idk he seems more interested in going slow than being rough

9. General physical contact headcanon

if nev is comfortable around you and he spots you laying on the couch be aware that he’ll probably wanna lay right on top of you. like, for real. he’s Big On Physical Contact With People He’s Close With

wade is the same, although in his case (especially around nev) his tendency to collapse randomly can be a Burden because he’s that much bigger (rip in peace nev)

10. Physical appearance headcanon

please stop teasing nev over his ears. he doesn’t get seriously offended by it or anything but it’s like. he gets it, his ears kinda stick out. he looks like dumbo. he GETS IT he’s been told this a million TIMES oh my GOD be more original PLEASE

wade just straight up doesn’t care about how people view him physically. he is who he Is binch deal with it

11. Wardrobe headcanon

nev owns far too many scarves. what can i Say, he likes to stay Warm

wade owns dad jeans. nothing else really to add there, that kinda speaks volumes in itself

12. Jewelry headcanon

both of them having matching bracelets that they gave each other on one of their anniversaries!! they wear them all the time and rarely ever take them off unless they have no other choice

13. Nickname headcanon

a good nickname for nev is “nevs”!! wade calls him that all the time

wade isn’t someone who’s really picky about things like nicknames and will respond to anything from “carebear” to “dumbass”

14. Dancing headcanon

neither can dance. especially not wade. nev is only SLIGHTLY better than him, but that’s not saying much

15. Singing headcanon

nev doesn’t like singing but he Does love to be sang to!! he thinks it’s so sweet and romantic in his opinion

and naturally wade is actually pretty good and singing and enjoys singing to his partner (nev)

16. Anger headcanon

nev and wade are both the kind of guys who hold little grudges when they’re angry. they don’t stay mad about what happened for very long, but they never forget what it was that made them so mad in the first place, and they hold the Tiniest Grudges

17. Soft spot headcanon

nev has a soft spot for having his hair played with!! and braided, too

and wade has a soft spot for nev/his partner’s Sleepy/Just Woken Up voice. he thinks it’s the most Endearing Thing

18. Favorite possession headcanon

nev’s favorite possession is a lil stuffed bear that wade won for him once during a date!!

wade’s favorite possession is a tacky lil keychain (yknow those ones that say the name of whatever place you’re in?? very tourist-y) that nev bought for him once because “it reminded me of you”

19. Favorite photograph headcanon

nev’s fave photo is one he took of wade sleeping. directly related to that is wade’s fave photo, which is of nev sleeping

20. Relationship with/thoughts on _____ headcanon

im just gonna do their relationship with each other: They Wuv Each Other

[kalosstarters]

...And Mairin too for the character-ask.

Ma-nooooooooooon ♥ Bestest girl (I’m aware such word doesn’t actually exist but it’s there to emphasize that she’s the fave of the faves)

favorite thing about them 

Everything? I have gone into details in the past so won’t do that now, but she has an adorable design, she’s sassy, very enthusiastic/willing to learn and the little quirks she has are very relatable to me. 

least favorite thing about them

At first I thought such thing doesn’t exist, but I could mention how I’m still very :// about the fact that she wasn’t allowed to participate in the fighting in XY&Z even though she did have a pokemon. Rip Bébé.

favorite line

There are many? Hmmmmmm. “don’t you have a thing called emotion?” and the banter before she catches Chespie and when she sees Lysandre for the first time… all such good scenes. 

brOTP

She and Chespie (and she and Alain when she’s still young)

OTP

I’ll give you one guess ;) (although remember guys that I always, always age them up when shipping them that way)

nOTP

Well there are a lot of ships with her I don’t like, such as her and Steven, like :SS

random headcanon

OK I just came up with one (this has to do with your Falling for You fic): the reason why Mairin is clothed in such colorful and kinda tomboyish clothes is because her parents (mostly mother, the father just wouldn’t care most of the time) used to dress in the dullest, often either black, white or grey clothes (that were here sister’s old) and to protest, when she got money for her journey, she went and bought clothes that she thought would annoy those people the most. When picking them, it was also important to her that they felt comfortable. 

Also (thank you @fairy-amy), if she lived in our world, she would absolutely love memes. Poor Alain would probably have to block her every now and then when she wouldn’t stop sending them. (He’d always unblock her after a couple of days)

unpopular opinion

I feel I always answer the same thing (don’t agree with how some people write her, either she’s scared of everything or then /too/ brave) but I can’t think of anything else rn…

song i associate with them

I don’t really have one, but ofc Mikako Komatsu’s (her VA) songs make me think of her, and some of the SM game songs (like Kukui’s lab music) make me think of how much she’d enjoy Alola

favorite picture of them

Go figure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
