If you could be a pro at any sport, what would it be?
How do you relax after a stressful day?
What does being a man mean to you?
Would you describe yourself as more of an introvert or an extrovert?
Do you want kids? Why or why not?
What's your biggest phobia?
If you had the day off with nothing to do, how would you spend it?
There’s a real mix here Anon, I’ll give it to you.
If you could be a pro at any sport, what would it be?
Ohhhh, I don’t know, couldn’t imagine it at all…
Okay, I kinda was. Sort of. Little bit. Olympics little bit.
There’s a huge amount of pressure at that level of any sport - you’ve gotta love it to survive. Sometimes I really miss it. I’d love to be able to compete in the pool like I used to, although I’m pretty sure I’d get my tail handed to me by the new gang of teenagers on the block these days.
How do you relax after a stressful day?
In a totally surprising answer given the previous, the pool. That’s my first port of call to burn off steam. Something to be said for the burn of lactic acid in making everything seem a little better…
We are really good at coming together for a bit of a team debrief when there’s been a harder rescue, or one that hasn’t quite gone to plan. Family movie nights are good for this too!
What does being a man mean to you?
Philosophical bomb thrown right in the middle of an ask, I see.
For clarity, I’m not a big fan of societal pressure to be ‘x’ on anybody. I’m not really sure this is ‘being a man’ and not just ‘being a good human’ but… I guess it’s something and if my Kansas starts showing, somebody smack me.
I guess this comes from my family, and it’s easy to sum up with two words, one from each of parents - kindness and integrity.
Having kindness, compassion, empathy for everything around you, especially other people but also the rest of the planet. Helping others, without judgement. Protecting people and things more vulnerable than you are, in any way, and putting others’ needs before your own when you need to. You can be big and strong and tough and brave… but being gentle, soft hearted, caring and not being afraid of showing how you feel is just as important.
Also spreading a little happiness where you can. Finding the silver linings and the bright sides, making people laugh, lifting the mood.
Integrity - knowing who you are, and what that means. The weight of your word, and the importance of keeping it. Taking responsibility for your actions, being honest, not being afraid to speak up for what you know is right. Doing the right thing, even when it’s the hard thing and especially when no one is looking. Having the courage to face your fears, and to face yourself.
(Straight out of the school of Scott Tracy at the end there, definitely Kansas showing)
Would you describe yourself as more of an introvert or an extrovert?
100% an introvert. Shyest person you’ll ever meet. Your regular wallflower at social events. Good luck getting a word out of me, I’m a total recluse and a functional mute at gatherings.
this is sarcasm, in case anyone was unaware
Do you want kids? Why or why not?
People really love this question, huh? This is like the sixth one…
I think the expected ‘Tracy boy’ answer here is five sons, right? Not my answer, before I get quoted. We’re gonna need a lot of Thunderbirds if that’s the case for us all.
Given that, thanks to the roll of the universe’s dice, it isn’t me doing the difficult part of having said children, I don’t really think the final word rests with me. It’s a decision you make together, right?
But sure, yeah to kids one day (maybe five, maybe not). Why? Eh, why would I not want to continue my reign of terror by procuring smaller versions of myself to spread only more chaos around the world?
Okay, okay, that’s the flippant answer. The real answer’s selfish (I think most answers to this probably are though, right?). My family is everything to me, and I guess it would be nice to get to pass all that love on. Having this little soul that’s a piece of you and a piece of the person you love the most, and getting to nurture them and love them and watching them turn into their own amazing person, and everything that comes with that, sounds like my sort of adventure.
Plus an excuse to be a big kid and tell dad jokes forever more? Bingo, Gordon’s sold.
(For the clarity, Mr H Harbuckle from Just About! Magazine - ten year plan, quite a lot on the list before that. Do not send me any media requests or so help me…)
What's your biggest phobia?
Those ridiculously intelligent and caring people that work at hospitals (also included in the fear) and all the crazy things they do (like save lives, but does it need to be with sharp pointy things?)
Also giant lizards. Yes, those ones. Nope, no thanks. I can love the planet and all her inhabitants from a distance. A big one.
If you had the day off with nothing to do, how would you spend it?
Pool then beach. Lying in a hammock. Drinking pineapple juice. Topping up my tan. Catching a wave or ten. Diving a reef. World’s most perfect sandwich. Hope that my favourite people are around to bother for a while for a hug or ten. Long night-time, starlit, Tracy Island beach walk with one of them in particular.
#I know half of these will return to bite me#but we answer asks WITH INTEGRITY#this was quite an ask on reflection#anon did you pick these or what#thunderbirds rp#thundersocials#gordons squid thoughts

Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.
Kamala 2024!
If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.
But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.
#personal#answered#anonymous#i mean let's be clear here no president is gonna attempt to be progressive ever again within my lifetime#because joe biden tried to do like 25% of that and got ZERO fucking credit#he did so much on healthcare on reform on loans on so many social issues and for all his litany of failings on i/p#he has been distinctly harsher on netanyahu than a good chunk of dems and certainly the entire republican party#for the first time since i was four we are not involved in any wars as americans and that is thanks to joe biden#but the thing is that he gets no credit for any of it!#him pulling out of afghanistan caused his approvals to tank in a way that never recovered#and leftists gave him FUCK ALL for it#they gave him nothing they just continued whining that even tho he cancelled a bajillion in student loans#he didn't actually cancel a QUADRILLION dollars so both parties are the same and voting is the most arduous task known to man#no democrat who is running is going to forget that catering to leftist/progressive policies gets them zero leeway with those supporters#that it not only tanks numbers but you still get constant haranguing about it anyway#so they're not gonna do it#we are gonna get fuckall for at least a good fifty years#and anything we get will be utterly in SPITE of people like you anon it will happen in spite of everything you've done#mostly because of people like me and mine who understand that voting is the bare minimum#and that for the democratic process to work the way you want it to you need to participate and not pitch a fucking fit#like a four year old who was told they can't go to disney this weekend#like i know you ratfuckers are happy this played out because this is all a game to you and you don't actually care#but that's why i've got zero faith in you people and why i'm glad it's my kind of folks#actual die hard democrats who have always been hardliners for supporting democrats in every possible election#who are picking up the slack and donating to harris and supporting her agenda#which is the exact same as biden's because she's his vice president and they share they same platform#because that's what they were both running on! twice!#anyway fuck you please feel free to find a necktie and test how tall your doorframe is

hii!! I just read cold spots and it was AMAZING!!! Im not sure if you wanted to continue the fic, but if you don’t mind could you continue with Veres part? I don’t know what you would write about but I just feel like that fic has so much potential to be a little 3 part series or something 🙏
<- Cold Spots TYSM ANON!! I put the Vere End at the beginning for ease of reading. For the sake of folks who would like to read this as a stand-alone... I think u can? With the knowledge that the premise of Cold Spots is that Mhin and MC/Sparrow went ghost hunting. Vere is said to have been responsible for a handful of local ghost stories, so…of course he makes some mischief.🦊 Also MC needs some Winter wear, stat. A very light Possessive Vere warning in this btw, though perhaps in a roundabout way. Plausible deniability is so important to him.
You putter around in your room at the Wet Wick as you go about your nightly routine. The occasional cheer or thud from below only accentuates your nervous energy, punctuating your reluctance to settle down and get into bed. You smooth the covers with your bandaged hands and fluff the pillow before extinguishing the lamplight. You tug the bedding up above your shoulders, fighting to get comfortable. As your eyelids finally start to droop, the flicker of a shadow catches your attention. It dances and sways and bends and grows until suddenly it is right in front of you. On top of you. Silken, blood red drips down onto your face, a knife gleam smile too close for comfort. You breathe in a gasp, wondering if you should scream. “Vere, what–” “Shhh,” he coos, pressing a finger lightly to your lips. His breath is hot against your skin. “I only came to keep you warm, pet.”
Heat Signature
“Poor thing.” Vere purrs. “Your lips are so cold.” He leans ever closer, his mouth hot over yours–hovering. His other hand reaches for your face as well, nails trailing against your cheek in a teasing caress.
You feel even the thought of being cold leave your body, replaced instead by the unusual thrill he commands, that strange enthralling sway.
That heat you’ve come to associate with Vere; sweet tendrils of want that nestle in your bloodstream.
You squirm a little, though you can’t move much with him looming over you.
(You should probably do more to protest his intrusion into your room, you think to yourself, though, the majority of you is–curious, daresay even far too eager to–)
“Whatever trouble did you get up to that left you in such a state?”
At this you scoff, tilting your head back into the pillow and effectively knocking Vere’s finger from your lips.
“As if you don’t know,” you accuse.
Vere looks entirely unperturbed by you shaking him off, his lithe fingers traveling freely along the newly displayed skin of your throat, making your pulse jump.
Vere chuckles at that, dark and silky.
“Being tight lipped about your adventures, hm?” He angles your face just so, ensuring you meet his sharp eyes, his nose brushing up against yours. “Not that it matters. It so happens I do know what you’ve been up to. Trespassing in places that don’t belong to you.”
“...It was an abandoned building. I don’t think it really belonged to anyone.”
“And that’s where you’d be wrong,” Vere says, “everything in this city belongs to someone, darling. You just don’t know what belongs to who yet.” He peers down at you with laughter in his expression, though there's a distinct edge to it that you can't quite place.
“So, you're here because that building belongs to you...?”
“Hmm, amongst other things. However shall I make you apologize to me for this most egregious offense?” He asks airily, shifting until he’s beside you rather than perched over you, resting his cheek in his hand and letting his eyes slip closed. He's the absolute picture of unbothered leisure.
(You’re not fooled–he’s simply waiting for you to let your guard down before he pounces.)
You open your mouth to deny any debts on your part (though, if your ghost hunting spot was indeed Vere’s hideout, you really do feel guilty) but Vere cuts you off before you can speak.
“Alas, I suppose it’s not mine anymore. Within a week it will reek of wet dogs and cheap booze. It's a lost cause now that those drooling reprobates know it's inhabitable. A pity. By Eridia's standards it really was divine in its heyday. Good wine, music, dancing. There was this portrait artist who would paint the performances…”
His tone remains light as he reminisces. But the look he pins you with is dangerous: his eyes gleaming bright, his canines bared in an irreverent grin.
“I had such hopes and dreams of reviving the place myself. Some of the dances were very scandalous. You never did share with me your stance on dancing, did you?”
You stumble out an approximate answer. It’s…harmless information to give, isn’t it?
Though, judging by how pleased Vere looks, you wonder if you should have refused to say. He looks positively wicked as he ponders your answer aloud. “Oh, I’m sure you’ve got plenty of talents to share. In another life, perhaps I'd have put you on stage. Though, I admit. I find myself partial to a private show.”
And–as expected–the moment you let your guard down, he's in your space again, crowding you. Heat and proximity and the softest brush of his lips against yours, light enough to send a thrill down your spine, curiosity and a want so deep it surprises you.
“Well?” He purrs. “Care to audition?”
You can't hide behind the excuse of supernatural sway or charm or the thrall of hypnotic sunglo eyes. It's not Vere's power that controls you. It's your own gnawing desire; starvation and longing that draws you to him despite all sense.
Kissing Vere is heady. Dizzying.
Kissing Vere is like being in conversation with Vere–a constant of giving and taking, being chased after and running to keep up. It’s enticing and alluring and decadent and never quite enough, over too soon even as you feel yourself losing air, the rush of blood and sensation threatening to overwhelm you.
He gives a parting nip to your bottom lip as he pulls away.
Then another one, playful, to your jaw.
When he presses his face into the side of your neck, you expect him to bite again.
What you don’t expect is for him to nuzzle into you, inhaling deeply before heaving a great sigh, his tail flopping lazily to land across you with a thump.
He’s officious as he rearranges the covers, ensuring your arms are tucked carefully away from him before he’s willing to fully settle into the bedding, pulling the blankets up around the both of you like a den. He hums something low in his chest as he tucks himself up alongside you, long tail curled around your waist.
It’s rhythmic–
purring.
And it’s…soothing, actually.
The weight of him, the warmth. The incessant lamplight of the Amaryllis District, shining ever present through your window, is dim–tolerable, even, courtesy of Vere's magnificent shadow manipulations and the blankets sheltering you.
The constant noise seems to fade away as well, obscured by the sound of purring. “Falling asleep when you have me in your bed, pet? You really do try your luck…”
#Foxes purr btw!#i await more purring Vere fics I hold out my sickly little claws for them (a prompt from me for other fic writers)#You and I get to know that Vere was touching on Sparrow’s face sm bc he caught a peek at Mhin doing it in Cold Spots#and he got territorial#I decided that the narrative pointing it out was laying it on too heavy. but you and i know.#Hopefully this fits the bill ok of what u described anon!

Ok, but I reached an eureka moment and I need someone to hear me out: will x theo could be potentionally wholesome. Like, you have just some guy who's dating this perfect dude and Will is aware, hell he is probably used to people asking him how he bagged a baddie like Theo, all meanwhile Theo is Will's number 1 fan/supporter, he's absolutely smitten for this wet dog of a man. Their dynamic has so much potential.
NOW YOURE THINKING!!!! Oh my gosh what if I told you they’re in my ship list titled “to write”?
The fun thing about these two is that typically Will’s presence adds a sense of dedication and loyalty like no other to ships, sort of like Annabel in his weird little way that he genuinely WILL GO LEAPS AND BOUNDS. But Theo is dramatic, a bit of a typical sort of man, polite and witty and trying to establish his own life after his father’s while I’d imagine ending up a bit as his father’s golden child. I can imagine looking like a man who wanted the power, the presence that comes with dating this prize and top tier rich boy, entirely regular seeming and with little connection to wealth. But I doubt Theo could see it that way. Because Theo would see Will’s weaseling into his heart as evidence that he is loved, and he is more, right? Theo is rich and high class with his manners and music and the skills and life of what a man of the era should be, but Will loves him and that can be a jarring realization when he’s used to adoration for other reasons. Theo would LOVE him like that, and Will would do his best to try and change, adjust to his environment: be a richer man, learn how to live the life, try to tame his hair. But Theo would likely laugh at him in those fancy clothes, loving and telling him it looks so wrong. Theo would catch Will returning to the grounds or the garden, attempting to get fruit from their tree, and he’d fall in love again with the quiet thought and consideration and little moment of peace that Will gains. He’d love Will’s love, his care and attempt to learn and fit in, and his appreciation for small things. He’d love how he ACTUALLY LISTENS beyond the sound of money in his pocket or fancy clothes. They’d just love.
#wow this was so long mb mate#long post#ALSO ANON YOU GET ME YOU GET ME SO WELL OMFG IM SPINNING YOUUU#root rambles#will teaches theo the proper way to pick a peach and that alone earns him a whole day worth of kisses. He’s so confused what he did#gosh everyone should leave me rarepairs and dynamics in my inbox this is amazing. This is so fun. Like even platonic ones too this rules#nevermore webtoon#will nevermore#theo nevermore#theo vandernacht#nevermore webcomic

this nemesis ambition started out a little slow but I am getting closer to finding that bastard who killed my wife, and I’ll not rest a minute now that im far closer to on his trail
sorry got in character for a second
Anyways fun ambition so far very fucked up though
congratulations on joining the murder club anon!!!! depending on who you ask the name refers to either people who have murdered or people who have witnessed murder. usually both. actually extremely often both. it's a swell time you'll feel right at home (don't mind our collective skyglass knife collection in the back)
#im still not far into nemesis personally but im very much enjoying it#honestly in a weird way it feels like it's moving faster than HD did. which. is funny bc nemesis is like The gated behind item grinds quest#idk. HD was a fun slowburn where we adventured around gathering our rogues gallery before the action kicked in#nemesis on the other hand feels like im picking up halfway through a batman serial#fallen london#ask#it's WAY more fucked up right off the bat than HD was. honestly ive thought abt red honey for ages. that's so fucked up#and we LEAD with that?? Okay#definitely a horrors-filled ambition befitting caeru (the guy who's constantly going through horrors)#it really encourages you to get fucked up and freaky and in ur character's headspace at basically every step along the way#i only have HD to compare it too but HD was like. a lot more interpretative in comparison? at least to me. that's what it felt like#and i adore HD for that dont get me wrong here#HD just also waited until like. halfway through before it asked what the scoundrel actually Wanted out of its heart's desire#nemesis in comparison is right off the bat who died? who are you mourning? anguish. justice. there must be vengeance.#it's a delightfully different vibe!! i like it!!!#oh god sorry anon im doing the classic yin talking way too much in the tags thing again#i havent had much excuse to talk abt nemesis and what i think of it so far and of course its rp effects on caeru#but i do have a handful of thoughts on it#it's good. im liking it so far. it's starting very strong if nothing else. and i have no spoiler knowledge of what happens in the future#beyond the choice between rewards at the very end#and im SO curious how we'll get to that point. what horrors will we adventure through next? off we go to find out!#it's biggest glaring weakness so far is how horrendously grindy it is. and like. ive been warned and done my research ahead of time#im doing it on the same account im seeking. i knew what i was getting into. but also gots damn.#in comparison HD's 5-card lodgings and dreamgate feel like footnotes#anyway while im already way too deep into rambling did you know the honey trip gives you fate?? insane. why does it do that. hilarious even

Okay what about wwx digging up the graves of Wen's ancestors and killing civilians? What are your thoughts on that? Why was he doing this and how does it work? How violent can wwx be?
It took you, what, over 12 hours to provide a comeback you thought would upset me? 😂
Anyways, Wei Wuxian digging up the graves of his enemies—who had attempted to murder him multiple times, facilitated his torture, and annihilated the clan that took him in as a child—in order to end their reign of terror is A-ok in my book, because I’m not a child that believes that all violence is bad and that fighting back against your oppressors “makes you just as bad as them.” My thoughts on him “killing civilians” are that I don’t use fanon to judge characters, so I don’t care about made-up events that didn’t actually happen in canon. Wei Wuxian can be as violent as he needs to be to protect himself, his loved ones, and any innocent people caught up in the power struggles of the corrupt gentry.
#mdzs asks#anon#shouldn’t you be having a meal with loved ones?#doing things you love?#going outside?#instead of picking fights through anon during my lunchtime?#and if you’re a different anon#then what tf did i do to you to get this passive aggressive ass ask???

How come you're not a popular blog? Does it make you upset that all your friends are better than you?
A) I don't want to be "popular" I'd rather have a small few in whom I call friends than a million people I call acquaintances. People have their preferences and mine is to not have a lot of followers/follow a lot of people. I value connection which might not be what other people want and that's okay, I'm happy being "unpopular" ♡
B) firstly, popularity doesn't equal "better" and secondly, this isn't a competition. Nothing makes anyone "better" than anyone else and it certainly isn't numbers that makes someone popular. I cater to no one.
If people like me, great! If people hate me, alright cool! I'm not here for everyone and everyone is certainly not here for me, world doesn't revolve around me and my ships, as the world doesn't revolve around others and their ships. We all are just out here vibing!
I'm an idiot on the internet popping off about my f/o for me, myself, and I. If people want to tag along for the ride that's a bonus and I feel honored that people actually want to invest their time in my ships/me when I'm reality they don't have to but they do and thats amazing.
#what a weird fuckin' ask.#Hey anon how come you felt the need to hide behind anonymous? Why hide?#Is it because you are too scared to have a conversation with me to my face (so to speak)#or were you simply trying to bait me into getting upset? Sorry my guy /gn you picked the wrong person.#Maybe me from 2017 cared about that garbage but I don't care anymore. it's been super beneficial for my mental health 💜#where tf did this even come from???

tbh, I stopped caring about houses that much when I found out that it's an otome/dating sim game with srpg gameplay sprinkled on top. In other FE games, you either gather supports by pair ups or by having units standing against one another. And mechanics like cooking in Fates were done to get some more stat boosts. And even if the avatarization of the game started with New Mystery, Robin and Corrin feel more like customizable characters than an avatar for the player.
In houses, Byleth is like every typical dating sim protag, that does not speak and the few times they do is by having the player choose options that may raise heart points with a character or lower them, you have to find lost items and when you give them back you gain heart points, you have to give them gifts to gain heart points and cooking now doesn't give you any beneficts in battle and only works for, you've guessed it, getting heart points. And let's not kid ourselves, tea time is like the "dates" in otome games, in which you can spam gifts till you raise the affection to the max. The only thing that distincts those points from the otome ones, is that those are necessary for proficency and for unit classes.
Heck, we even have a ring to give to the chosen blorbo in order to get a special custom made cutscene, when in pasts games getting an S support gave you a broken unit to deploy and a little blurb of text during the credits. And of course, calendar/day systems are also common in these tipes of games too.
People complained about awakening and fates for turning the franchise into a dating sim, but 3Houses is literally one in and of itself, and yet is praised as peack FE experience and as peack srpg.
(I could also argue that is because of this otome nature why the characters are "tell don't show" with their given trauma, unlike in pasts games when it was "show don't tell" (Nino, Reison, Camilla, Leif, Soren...))
Well,
When you put it like that, it becomes obvious that the other games (FEH, Engage) mentionning Fodlan are stuck on the uwu monastery part of the part 1 and not the, y'know, events happening that will lead to part 2 because as you said, the SRPG aspect is just "sprinkled on top" lol
However, the "pair up your units and build their relationships!" has been a non gameplay mechanics for decades now (FE4's was a gameplay mechanic, it had no support convos - FE6 added the support convos and gave a small gameplay boost but it didn't commit and we had no endings, FE7/8 had endings, FE9 had convos but FE10 removed them and yet had endings depending on the pairs, etc etc) even without avatars.
Then we entered the avatar era and if it added the "my waifu and my bae" shenanigans, FE13/14 were still more centered on the story aspect that on the "dating sim" aspect, as in, even if you could raise affinity with a character by doing X or Y, it wasn't really coded in a minigame - came FE16 which you analysed perfectly : tea time, gifts, eating, S-support CG, etc etc.
That being said, FE is a RPG, meaning it has characters : you play FE for the solid gameplay but you also build characters, and imo the best way to develop and write characters is to interconnect them with other characters, and/or with the plot/lore.
Sure, Arden functions as a wall/tank. But through the 5 lines he has, you learn that he is part of a group of knights, has friends who often tease him but is relied upon by those people and takes pride in that, he'd also like to find a wife someday and has self-esteem issues.
Is he as developped as, say, Xillia's Alvin? Hell no! But they're characters from two different genres, Arden has those 5 lines that puts him above any "generic" armor.
(I find it interesting how UO and in a way, FE11, gives you the opportunity to play with generics instead of playing with named characters, in UO generics will turn out to be better since you can change their growths, but they're generics. Do you want the RPG of the Tactics/Strategy aspect?)
So, I'd say that support conversations are important, I love Saias and Ralf to bits, but I'm sure I'd love them more if they had more lines. And since support through battle can be a chore (hello FE GBA and trying to get Bartre and Karla's supports when she joins 2 chapters before the end!), I initially welcome any way to grind those supports faster lol.
However, it can quickly spiral in, well, the otome mechanics we have in FE16 - if you want to build support then why not have an entire mini-game for that, and meals and chorals and whatever else?
It's all about finding balance between developping your characters without turning your game in a dating sim or what I'd call "playing the sims and pairing those dolls with those other dolls you like".
Still, let's not kid ourselves, nowadays the "dating sim" aspect of the series is, while decried by some, very popular - and FE is first and foremost, a series that has to sell.
3H is not peak SRPG not peak gaming experience or even in FE gameplay that'd be FE5 but I can't ignore the fact that its dating sim aspects might be part of the reason why it's still very popular.
#anon#replies#fe series#for my part i never liked harem protagonists or games/mangas it always pissed me off#but say if Lloyd can end up with different people and ladies in ToS#it's not the first argument that's thrown around when people praise the game#or even discuss about it#it's an accessory#i know redshit isn't a monolith but#for all the sass some had decrying mooners thinking with their ovaries and wanting to pick their uwu pwince to build a s support with him#UO's redshit has a lot of 'which waifu did you choose' posts#it's fun#granted the dating sim aspect of UO is also something i'm not fond of even if they tried to write it in the plot#still unlike Billy eating 150 meals per day#Alain doesn't have to sit with people eating#like you can order a meal between rodrick Joseph and Monica without Alain#I like seeing how characters are interconnected to each other and all#which is why I hate avatar or MC scissors#I can't help but wonder if the weak writing for the characters in Fodlan isn't due to Supreme Earl Grey#and the fact that they all must be able to uwu about Billy so can't have meaningful bonds#I remember some people joking that Alain can legit break what would be canon or heavily implied to be canon relationships in UO#which is all kinds of uhh writing wise for the characters involved#it's even more hilarious when the characters favor their already built relationship over the one you force with the MC lol#but anyways back to FE Fodlan I thought like#the writing for characters was shallow because they all must be able to ditch friends family and lovers for Billy#and that's just... as tasteless as a watermelon to me

hi! I recently came across your tgcf fics, and I wanted to say you’re a phenomenal creator. the recovery series fic and the gloves fic and just all of them. thank you for your content and great attention to detail.
do you have any thoughts/hcs on FXMQ and Xie Lian you’d be willing to share? within the original story or the universes of your fics!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying them! (ノ*^▽^*)ノ.。:*☆
hmm, random thoughts about the FXMQ... a silly headcanon: Feng Xin has very much been hoisted by his own petard by heckling Mu Qing! That is to say, he'll harass Mu Qing relentlessly about something stupid only to be confronted with a similar situation and realise that there's absolutely NO way he can act in anyway similar to Mu Qing or he'll never hear the end of it.
(For example, he has tolerated some truly atrocious divine statues in the past because he's heckled Mu Qing so much about how picky he is with his divine statues that there's no WAY he can say ANYTHING without seeing that smug bastard's face in his head so he just has to bite his tongue and tolerate some unspeakably ugly statues.)
Mu Qing doesn't generally suffer from similar overthinking (he'll just prepare to kick FX's ass if he dares to say anything about it) except for things more directly related to himself. I think he genuinely finds sewing/embroidery/etc rather relaxing work but he'd rather die than have anyone ever see him do it because he's made such a big deal about not doing that sort of "servant" work anymore.
(He actually really enjoyed stitching Ruoye back together because it gave him the perfect excuse -- he's returning a favour!! and Xie Lian is hopeless!! of course he had to!! -- and he secretly considered using white thread to embroider some invisible little designs just because he doesn't quite want to stop... only he knew he'd get caught if he messed with Xie Lian's spiritual device like that and gave up the idea)
#tgcf#bene speaks#so anon will you send me a FXMQ hc back?? 👀 i know others have given that pair more thought than i have#though it does all make me wonder how mu qing (and feng xin) would feel about ruoye after learning about its origins#more fond or more resentful?#or guiltily realise that its been too long and they don't feel anything at all about it but wonder#if they should - if they would if they were better people#this is an irreverent goofy little idea off the top of my head but i dunno... i haven't written much with these guys yet#but i have thoughts#their entire dynamic with xie lian#the way they are so wholly in need of each other but also so intensely distanced from each other is... *chefs kiss*#none of them are REALLY friends by the end of the main series#not really#were they ever friends? proper friends? hard to say since we only have xl's pov and his pov is really biased especially in regard#to his past behaviour - he judges himself quite harshly#were they friends? did was the hierarchy between them mean that they never really COULD cross that divide?#i like to think they were and they did but still. 800 years is a long time#feng xin and mu qing have SUCH a horrifically and deliciously complicated relationship#there's so many old resentments between them + inherent ties that can't quite break + jun wu's fucking meddling#(and my GOD jun wu's meddling in that trio... would love to pick at that more... that would be a great fic#one that parallels fx/mq(/xl) and yy/qyz... give me a hurt/comfort fic that builds on that god#i am fascinated by what a renewed friendship could look like between them after 800 years now that they're all on somewhat equal footing#we got a great taste of mu qing wanting to move past old grudges and really pursue that which healed me after the wwx&jc ending in mdzs#but they all have so much baggage to shed and things to talk about... man it'd be intense#so yeah. this is a long tag ramble to say i definitely HAVE SOME FUCKING THOUGHTS about the mess that is the xianle trio (quartet)#anyway thanks for asking anon that was fun to ramble about

Can I say something that might possibly be a 'hot take'?
I really don't like the rise of the whole 'He would not fucking say that' meme (and a lot of its variations). I know it's probably a joke (I'm too autistic to tell how serious people are with it lol.), and I can understand being annoyed when someone writes a character OOC, but OOC-ness is not really that big of a deal. Don't like, don't read, you know
I feel like it's also going to cause a lot of paranoia in fanwork creators, and I don't like that. And I should know, it's caused some paranoia in me (even though I've always been of the opinion that OOC-ness doesn't matter, in fact I celebrate it, just let people have fun. Despite all this, the meme still affects me and makes me worry)
I feel like the only time that OOC-ness can be a problem is when an indivisual/a fandom has a fanon that they like and they don't let anyone disagree with or write differently then that fanon. But I feel like that's not even an issue with OOC-ness, it's an issue with people (usually BNFs) being jerks and trying to get other people to conform to what they want
I don't know, maybe this whole thing is just a communal joke and I'm worrying over nothing. I'm not trying to ruin anyone's fun, have fun with your memes and all that, I just wanted to vent
(This ask is not directed at you FO, I know you're not the type to care about OOC-ness)
hard agreed actually, it's annoying as fuck
i honestly dont think it's that much of a joke to be honest, what with people making posts being all high par Make A Fucking OC and shit like??? who tf are u to tell me what to do lmao. if i want john winchester in a flower dress imma damn well make it, dont give a single fuck how Not Canon Compliant тм it is
thats the fucking point of fandom ya know? literally who cares. this whole thing reeks of the new-wave "it will never be canon so why ship it". like. its fandom material, none of it will be canon, the point is to have fun.
that and that one gross post "theres too much fluff of X" bitch?? i like fluff about X. you dont get to say what everyone creates, you dont have to like all of it. just pick the stuff you like, it isnt difficult.
AND those posts that keep popping up in "proshipper" spaces that go 'i know it's just fiction but guys. content about X chara being Y is /actually/ really bad;///'... it's like people completely forget their fundamental ideology about fiction when their own specific identity happens to be the thing that's bothering them this time. so is content that makes people uncomfortable 'allowed' or not? make up your mind, no doublebacksies. and who tf are you to not allow it in the first place but i guess there's enough people who for some reason get anxious over randos' opinions on the internet to feel bad about it so...
anyway, yeah. personal tastes do not dictate people's politics. this relates to yet another popular discourse lately:)
#ask#the whole start of that meme was ridiculous tbh#like oh nooo someone wanted to post OOC positivity from a character's POV!! how dare they!!!#and the Must Be Canon Or Else crowd went with it to hell and back#as i always say sure be aware of what canon is#dont force others to conform to your view#but also!! you cant!! make people!! in FANDOM no less!! conform to canon!!#otherwise only het tv-friendly ships allowed lmao#btw being referred to as FO really did sth for me here lmao#it is me the Fictional Other lol#hey um. also? this entire rant i think made even me feel better about the self-indulgent shit ive been making#been putting off writing a very uh. incredibly self-indulgent fic#i think im gonna get to it#so thank you anon i didnt realize i needed the pick up too!#...might... add a sundress.. to that.. idea.. hmmmmmmmmmmm

So uh... remember that Lancer crossover I was working on for Spookami? And how I put this tag on the original post?
Well that's actually happening for real now, because our GM is not only running a oneshot separate from our main campaign this weekend, but also very encouraging of letting us pull expy nonsense. Joke's on him if he think I'm not committing to the bit, though, so have the portrait I drew for the "Pilot" section of my character sheet.
Most refer to Waka in this AU by his callsign "Onmyōji". Those that don't usually just call him a pain in the ass.
#Bamboo's Art#Okami#Lancer (TTRPG)#Crossover#Waka (Okami)#What's funny is I'm not even the only expy in this party nor did I pick the weirdest source to pull a blorbo for a mech pilot#The mech frame I picked is even striker melee with a focus on using swords and agility -hell yeah- I'm gonna do that have you SEEN this guy#(for those lurking the Lancer tag: were at LL3 and I'm going full Mourning Cloak baby I'm about to become a fucking -nightmare-)#I got into such a groove when I hit the shading part that I was up until 3 AM last night finishing this. Worth it tho.#Drawing all of those moon-tribe-esque patterns was a gd nightmare though shading them was a lot more fun than I anticipated#Also to the anon who asked what color I paint Waka's eyes when it's not the middle of the night here's your answer: they're dark brown!#I should probably make a full ref sheet for this design at some point but for now y'all get portrait#Callsign: Onmyoji

Fluff 13 for Thasmin please?
Thasmin (Fluff - Prompt 13) - “I didn't mean to say that but yeah, I love you.” (Thanks for the prompt!!)
—
Yaz slid her arms into her jacket, smiling softly to herself as the Doctor puttered around the console behind her.
“Alright, weekend with the Khans and I'll swing back to pick you up Monday at noon?”
Yaz nodded, this was always her least favorite part. It was important to go home and visit her family from time to time but the TARDIS had become her home away from home.
Brown eyes turned to watch the Doctor, her tongue was peeking out the side of her mouth in concentration as she piloted her beloved ship. The thin, familiar line creased her brow as she focused on her task.
With no work to return to, instead she planned on catching up with her sister and helping her parents with what she could around the house. Maybe she'd help her dad with whatever recipe he was workshopping at the moment.
A fond warmth blossomed in her chest as she watched the Doctor put the finishing touches on the coordinates for their journey back to Earth.
It was a feeling she recognized but tried adamantly to not linger on.
Before too long, a familiar whirring interrupted Yaz’s thoughts as they touched down on Earth.
Yaz shouldered her bag, a light blush darkening her cheek as she smiled at the Doctor.
The blonde was rolling back and forth from flat footed to the balls of her feet, her cheeks puffed out adorably. “Well, this is you…”
“This is me.” Yaz agreed, her smile widening. “I'll see you in a few days, Doctor. Love you.”
Time seemed to slow, appropriate for the TARDIS, in hindsight. Yaz felt her heart jump into her throat as she realized what exactly it was that she had just said.
She spun around, her own wide eyes meeting the other woman's.
People told their friends they loved them all the time, she could pass this off as an Earth norm she could-
Yaz swallowed thickly, the Doctor's cheeks were no longer puffed out. A blush had darkened her pale cheeks and her eyebrows had shot up toward her hairline.
“Uhm, I mean…” Yaz started, the words tapering off as she floundered for something to say. Finally she heaved a sign, tightening her grip on the strap of her bag. “I didn't mean to day that but yeah, I love you.”
She smiled, it was a shy thing but genuine nonetheless.
The Doctor blinked owlishly at her for a moment as she processed the information. After a moment, she took a few steps forward to close the distance between them.
“Yasmin Khan, when I come to pick you up Monday make sure you pack something nice to wear.”
“Doctor?” Yaz questioned, not bothering to hide the surprise from her voice.
“We're going on a date!” The Doctor supplied usefully, nodding to herself with satisfaction.
Yaz felt her blush deepen as she watched the other woman walk toward the console conspiratorially, mumbling to herself as she went.
Dan was never going to let her live this down.
#Asks#Anon#Thasmin#Thirteen x Yaz#I see what you did there picking 13. I like that. :) This isn't my best work but the idea is force myself to create regardless.#Today was just A DAY.#Yaz is like: holy shit I mean I've got a crush but uh uhm okay. yeah. 😳#The TARDIS dropping confetti while beeping enthusiastically. doing that snickering thing because she totally recorded it to send to Dan

Quick notes for those of you still waiting for free readings!!
I have not forgotten and will be doing them!! It just so happens that every reading left in my askbox is a deity reading, and those are higher energy because I do the channeled writing/little quote tidbits/whatever you want to call them for those. But I am very excited to do them, they just take longer to get to because I can't go "oh let's do a quick one that's just a few paragraphs" bc no deity I write with ever lets it be a few paragraphs T-T /pos
#plus those bits take more energy since I gotta like#be vibing and feeling good and able to pick up what they're trying to goddamn say#which is more difficult than just writing my own shit#I feel so bad for the anons bc in my experience you don't get notifs if your ask is anon#I SWEAR ANONS I'M DOING IT I'M SRY YALL ARE HAVING TO CHECK MY BLOG AND SHIT#I did promise my deities I would take at least one of the weekend days off tho so I took today off and went to see some ROCKS#I'll post what I got from the cool crystal garage sale type thing I went to it was very fun#tarot reader#tarot readings#witchblr#tarot witch
