the enabler's call: @arrthurpendragon @misshiraeth98 @carmens-garden - want to be added? shoot me an ask!

coloring: here!

[average-mako-enjoyer]

"send me a character" ask game!

From the character ask game.

This is not a choose violence ask! You didn't have to choose violence, Liss!

Anyway, Zevran.

Favorite thing about him I think the best thing about him is also the worst thing about him. He's the embodiment of that toxic bisexual rep people keep ranting about, and he's designed to attract our kind.

He has:

a thick ass

dick game on a whole new level

weird sense of humor

tragic past

Oh, and he also knows how to stab people? And has a good sense of boundaries? Yeah, okay, Bioware, pack me two of those, please.

Least favorite thing about him He's that toxic bisexual rep people keep ranting about. XD

He lies and flirts like he breathes, he sleeps with everyone because it's fun and it helps pass the time, and yeah! Okay! I know people like that! Myself included. So it's a pretty realistic portrayal of a person who went through such a massive trauma as a child and was severely abused for most of his life. But his story lacks depth in some ways.

Yes, he confronts the Crows. Yes, he kills his former lover/friend to tie up loose ends, and that's it. I wish there were more moments that showed his vulnerability. His obvious flaws.

But I think that's what all the Origins characters suffer from. They fall pretty flat once you're done with their personal missions, and their romances lack that tasty substance for me as well.

Favorite line His stupid sex poem and how Warden asks, "You killed the person who wrote it for you anyway?" And he's like, "Well, of course! But only after we slept together. What do you think, I'm some kind of monster? I fucked her for a few hours, btw." And Warden goes, "Well, if it was hours…"

brOTP Him and Wynne. I think she can be a perfect match for his energy and just be a sarcastic ass around him for sports, which I am sure he loves. They can make fun of Oghren together. Also, he can fingerbang her into next Tuesday if necessary, and it wouldn't ruin their dynamic.

Also him and Leliana.

OTP Zevran/Alistair sounds like so much fun to me.

One is a labrador retriever, another is a sly fox. One is a virgin, another has fucked his way across the continent. One is a homophobic church boy, another is everything the church warns good people against. One is horrified by the fact that this man, dude, guy with a penis, oh my god he has an actual dick between his legs, is actually attractive, another finds the bi panic men expirience around him endearing. Alistair Theirin gets fucked into the mattress watch in HD 1080p.

Also, Zevran/Morrigan. They are a definition of bi4bi power couple.

But the best OTP is Zevran/freedom to do whatever the fuck he wants to.

nOTP Don't have one. I truly believe he can weasel his way into any pants.

Random headcanon He's such a slut for luxury lifestyle. He's pretty down to earth most of the time, but lay him down on some silk sheets after a good meal and he'll be yours.

Unpopular opinion He and Warden are not a good match for a variety of reasons, and I'm not that surprised that he's out of the picture by the time Awakening begins.

Song i associate with them Oof, this is hard. I guess Call Out My Name by The Weeknd?

Favorite picture of them This one or this one.

OK. T_T sobs in happiness

More thoughts I gotta write down beneath the cut for those who are interested.

Vijay knows no boundaries and just jumps onto Ryder from behind and someone took a pic in the right moment (I did). Ry is comfortable with V still close to him, but he's trying not to lose his smile here entirely because he concentrates on the sudden 6'4'' tall weight on him. x)

I think you get why I call this brotp 'Stuck on you' — Vijay basically declared it this way. V is like the angel on your shoulder, he watches over Ry.* He was there for Ryder right from the start, listened and supported him, got him out of he darkness besides giving him a new identity before they even got to be friends. Yes, there was a long pause — both needed — but after that you're not able to separate them ever again, not as lovers but as best friends and both are happy with it because a real good friendship can be so much better than a relationship. <3

It's a bit funny to me you know? And I'm laughing at this very moment about it as well.

Because here was I believing Vijay to be my main oc before I created Ryder — with the intention to give V a boyfriend and a support character for team Jackie and V. But it all came differently bc I stumbled over pretty Arki along the way (and I love to what it turned out by now).

And where am I now? I realized half a year ago, that Ryder is my main guy and Vijay his support. Without him there literally would be no Ryder. I mean it! Seriously. If they hadn't met, Ryder would be gone given his low self-esteem and depression when I reflect my written back story about him. Let that sink in.

*Sidenote: the moment I wrote this I scrolled up, looked at the pic for another moment and noticed that with a bit imagination the holo cherry blossom tree behind them could be a form of wings. <- me again, doing pics with no idea finding/seeing things only later.

[rustingcat]

tagged by @inkedroplets who tagged me in a few things now, and I forgot to answer some of them. Shame on me, but thanks for the tag, darling:)

1. What sort of content do you create, and what is the thing you’ve made that you’re most proud of?

I started with art, then began writing, then started animating, and recently uploaded a fanvid 😅

I'm proud of them all because they are all part of the progress 😌

2. What fandom(s) do you create for?

Supergirl. I'm counting my Sadie/Saskia vid as supercorp.

3. What is your current favourite ship (or brotp if you prefer), and how controversial is it?

Supercorp. And apparently a lot of people don't like them because they hated supergirl? (At least according to tumblr tags in polls. But those people also accuse them of being too straight...)

4. For your answer to question 3, are they canon?

They are in my heart. Also, I feel that their last conversation was as close to canon as they could get.

5. What was your first fandom, and how old were you?

I was deep into Harry Potter for a long while in my life. That's what got me into fanfiction and tumblr. I still have a sweet spot for what it represented to me in my childhood and the stuff I took away from it despite the actions of some extreme lady.

6. What is your most unhinged fandom creation to date?

My Twilight Au fic 🤣

Was written as a parody, but somehow ended up being way too wholesome.

The power of pasta is my one crack fic, so there's also that.

7. Do you remember what started you off creating fandom content, and if so, what was it?

I was an avid consumer for years, but it was all thanks to the Supergirl fandom that I dared to try and create something. I was in the process of coming out and accepting myself for who I am, which, despite being in a very open and accepting environment and family, was really hard on me. Both the show, and especially the fandom, were what helped me not only to come out but also to see it in a positive light. It made me understand the meaning of pride, and I am forever grateful for that. That's why I decided to dedicate my time to creating stuff myself as thanks to this amazing community and to do my best to keep it active.♥️

8. Do you let people you know in real life see your fandom creations?

Some, yes. I have a few friends who know I write, but had not read any of my stuff. I have a few I share my art with, though.

9. How do you feel about fanworks of fanworks? Has anyone ever made something based on a thing you made?

Someone wrote a fic based on my art a while ago, and I'm still excited about it!

10. What feeling do you most often try to evoke with your creations?

Depends on the content. Each piece has its own purpose. I try to aim for fluff, but I've been told I accidentally write a lot of angst... oops?

11. Has someone ever paid your work a compliment (in any form) that has stuck with you, and what was it?

I'm always excited when fandom friends tell me they like my stuff. Or just anyone in general. It just warms my heart.

12. What’s your favourite thing someone else has made that you’ve seen in the last 24 hours (and link it if you can find it again!)

Have you read the most recent space log update? It's pretty cool...

13. Give a small sneak preview of something you’re working on right now (eg a couple of sentences of fic from a WIP, a gif set theme, a small piece of a larger picture, whatever you feel happy to share)

"Alex, you're saying that as if we're not literally standing at the entrance of a school for fairies." Kara said as she rested her hand on the handle of her large blue suitcase.

"Fair point."

"It is ridiculous, isn't it? Like, fairy collage, it just sounds so…"

"Bizarre?" Alex raised an eyebrow as a small chuckle escaped her lips.

Kara sheepishly nodded.

"Well, yes. Very. But that's our lives now, I suppose," Alex shrugged and shoved her hands in her jeans's pockets.

"You mean my life. You're going to badass school for ass kicking," Kara teased her sister.

Because apparently I'm not done making AUs based on questionable IPs.

And a bit of my card game AU:

Lena was the one to drag Andea to sneak out of school for a change. Only unlike her best friend, Lena didn't drag her out to a party or to drink alcohol, but instead to the local game shop where she could learn more about that mysterious game. Andrea wasn't as excited as her, but reluctantly agreed (if only to get out of trigonometry class). Fight for Justice, while being a bit too cheesy, Lena couldn't deny the strange allure of the name. She was fascinated to learn the different ways the game could change from moment to moment, the various objectives one can approach to win the game, and she couldn't help but absolutely adore the art on each and every card.

14. Have you ever seen/read anything made by the person who tagged you? If so, what was it and what was your favourite thing about it? (pick a favourite if there are several)

Rich girl with issues is a masterpiece, and you should all go read it!

15. Do you leave comments on fandom works, and if so how would you describe your comment style?

I try to always comment, and especially on stuff I like. I don't think I have a specific style tho😅

16. How many works in progress do you currently have? Will you finish them all?

I have about 12 that I actively started, but more that are in the concept phase. Ideally, I'll finish them all eventually.

17. what’s the longest it’s ever taken you to finish a fandom project?

It's been almost 2 years since I started The Art Of The Game. I'm close to the end, but it's been a while...

18. Describe the thing you made most recently in a way that is technically true, but also completely misleading. Link the thing if it’s published!

The hottest new trailer for the film we all have been waiting for;)

19. Do you ever engage with fanworks for a fandom you’re not in? Which one(s) and how did you get into it?

I feel like a foreigner when I see stuff from other fandoms, and I usually don't know enough about it to interact with it.

20. Recommend a fan work from your fandom to your followers

@awaitingrain has some really amazing artwork with adorable chibi designs! I'd recommend checking out her stuff!

Suggested tag list, but there are no rules here, follow your heart.

@eqt-95 @fazedlight @autisticlenaluthor @snowydragonscave @missluthorwillseeyounow @luthordamnvers have fun;)

[azurelyy]

Nejiii :3

Omg <3. Thank you for the ask, darling!

Edit: TW FOR DEPRESSION!

1: sexuality headcanon

Neji is a secret softie. He really loves the intimacy of sex, and hasn't had many partners due to that. If you get the chance to go to bed with him, that means he really cares about you and he is going to treat you like a pillow princess. He'll allow you to dom him if that's what you prefer, although he does prefer to pleasure YOU - but so long as you're happy, that's all he cares about.

2: otp

To be honest, I really don't ship Neji with anyone in particular. TenTen is the best match for him, but I wouldn't call them an otp.

3. brotp

We didn't see them interact much, but I have a feeling Sai and Neji could have been good friends. Like I just picture them both confiding in each other about their crushes and it melts my icicle heart.

4. notp

I don't have super strong feelings about any of Neji's relationships and I don't really not ship him with anyone. Obviously he wouldn't work with Sakura or Ino, and Hinata is his cousin... so, I guess that would be my choice lol. I am sure people ship him with Hinata and it's a no from me.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Neji loves giant lollipops. Like the ones that are the size of your hand. And Choji somehow discovered this about him and now uses it as leverage lmao.

6: favorite line from this character

"Naruto... Sometimes, your eyes are even better than mine."

7: one way in which I relate to this character

I'm pretty sure Neji is depressed... so, same. He always talks about how death is the only way to escape... poor guy.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

He is literally such a dick. Like I'm sorry, but he was. It's embarrassing. If I were him, I'd be embarrassed by how much of an asshole I was as a kid.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

He is problematic for suuuure. Definitely not a fave of mine, but I like him well enough. Sorry, Neji!

[negative-speedforce]

Spock and Iris for the headcanons ask thing :)

1: sexuality headcanon

Spock is an asexual gay man. He's too gay with Kirk to be anything but, and I say he's ace because I'm ace and I like Spock

I'd say Iris is like... heteroflexible? Like she's pretty much straight, but she's played around with girls before.

2: otp

Spirk is definitely one of my OTPs of all time, not just for Star Trek.

Westhallen Westhallen Westhallen-

3: brotp

Spock and McCoy. They're so horrible I love them.

I love how Iris and Kamilla bounce off each other so perfectly they're awesome.

4: notp

Spock/La'an. Idk, I think it's mostly because I headcanon Spock as gay and La'an as a lesbian, I just don't really like it.

EoIris isn't a ship I'll ever ship, but I think the concept of it is fascinating. I might read a fic for it if it's like a character study thing or something, but it's not my personal cup of tea.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Spock has the Vulcan equivalent of autism. Like, he's not just "like that" because he's Vulcan, he's also hella autistic.

Iris, being Barry's childhood best friend, was probably pretty sad when Nora Allen died bc that was her friend's mom who she probably grew up around

6: favorite line from this character

"I have been, and always shall be your friend"

"No, Barry, you're not The Flash- we are."

SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT THIS LINE I AM HOPELESSLY ATTACHED TO IT

7: one way in which I relate to this character

AUTISM.

Iris and me both have an inquisitive spirit and a serious case of "curiosity killed the cat"

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

The way Spock it portrayed in some forms of nuTrek. Some writers just don't get him. He's not different because he's half human, he's different because he was treated different as a kid.

Low key the fandom racism and misogyny towards Iris? Not a good look. Ew.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Both of them are cinnamon rolls. Yes, even Spock.

[flowersandbirdsflyingfree]

Heya! :D

For the codz asks:

6) Favorite COD Zombies quartet/squad in general, and why?

7) Least favorite CODZ quartet/squad in general, and why?

8) Favorite individual CODZ character(s), and why?

13) Favorite friendships/BroTPs?

6) Favorite COD Zombies quartet/squad in general, and why?

Ultimis, easily. I joined the fandom very late after the Aether story concluded. Despite being late to the party, I love the gritty atmosphere of their maps, the lore was to me the most engaging to understand, and I replay their stuff most of the time. I know people tend to say they can be somewhat one-dimensional due to their cliche traits, but I think Ultimis is both charismatically funny and have their own layers of depth if you look a little more.

I am still pissed off that we will never get to see them again. The Christmas album isn't enough. I will pay either Treyarch or your best set of VAs to record a zombies audio story right now

7) Least favorite CODZ quartet/squad in general, and why

Chaos. I feel bad, they were given a lot of love from Treyarch by Black Ops 4 and they are being referenced again in importance for the new story line. I just can't seem to click with their maps.

As a side note, I'm not liking how the Dark Aether story is so far with "operators" and I do hope they'll bring back crews by the next game. But I also would prefer they switch up from the dry, seriousness of Cold War. However! I think the slowness was to help build up the story for whatever's next to come. I still think Klaus is funny and there are hints of the humor in there somewhere, and Forsaken map was where I finally got more actively interested in what's next.

8) Favorite individual CODZ character(s), and why?

I think we both know the answer to this question.

And you're so real for your pfp by the way! I look up to him and his fighting spirit, just being able to take action with no hesitation. And yes, he's still got my heart. I love him too much. IronPetals forever

I'm also finally warming up to his Primis self. He's still very charismatic and him being more likely to show his soft spot than Ultimis Tank made me too flustered. If any character inspires me to keep fighting the good fight, it will always be him. OORAH!

13) Favorite friendships/BroTPs?

I have several, believe it or not!

One goes to Dempsey and Takeo, especially with how in depth it gets in the Primis timeline. Even with whatever Richtofen was trying to put them through and all the toiling about through war, they could at least confide in each other the most. I also love how Takeo's basically got an American cheerleader on his side!

Russman and Stuhlinger! I see a lot of bickering about between the Victis crew, but the quotes that show their allyship do warm my heart. I'd also argue Russman and Misty for the comics because he acts like a father figure! Why can't we get more of that in the maps?! Especially since i hold on the hope we'll see Victis leave the Dark Aether soon

Last one goes to Dempsey and Peter. He really cared about his best friend, even with Peter forgiving him for "Phoebe". I almost wonder what those two have been through together. I headcanon they were friends since childhood and decided to enlist together.

[sparatus]

Sparatus? 🙂

🥺👉👈

Sexuality Headcanon: painfully bisexual. somebody please stop surrounding this old man with hot people his heart can't take it. also very much not xeno in the slightest

Gender Headcanon: turian gender stuff is complicated and doesn't fit into human binaries, so while he's generally understood to be and is fine with being perceived as a cis man because he's perfectly happy with the body he was born with, a closer approximation is masculine nonbinary, just... not the way humans understand nb to be

A ship I have with said character: i mean. [gestures vaguely to entire internet presence] do i even have to specify teia at this point.

aside from the obvious, sparatus/quentius is also a fave, i do so love boss and loyal dragon dynamics, and the two of them are that plus a flip side out of work where they're just best mean girl friends hanging out being catty old men together. plus for bad end it makes it so much juicier that not only was sparatus quentius's friend but also a sometimes-lover, bad end hurts but it's so so deliciously messy

plus also @thetrashbagswasteland put sparatus/desolas in my head and it bops around from time to time, just like, suave but chaotic military man with the personality of a mob boss "you wanna fuck me so bad it makes you stupid" vs prickly by-the-book law boy "i hate that you're actually as charming as you think you are you charismatic asshole" i think it would be fun okay someday ill write it teia and abrudas can also get in on it for fun or they can bang on the side it's fine

A BROTP I have with said character: sparatus & quentius, for reasons listed above. the more i dabble around the more sparkyteia and quentilea are becoming just a platonic polypile, oopsie, they're all good friends. also quite fond of sparatus & saren, because saren is very well-trusted and the council's golden boy and not every spectre is going to have shepard's experience with the council so it only makes sense for saren to have that sort of loyal right hand kinda dynamic with sparky. sparatus & valern is also fun for my usual political intrigue reasons but we don't have time to get into the complicated bullshit fueling the turian-salarian alliance rn

A NOTP I have with said character: sparatus/shepard, for reasons i should hope are obvious by now. guys idk how to explain this but sometimes characters just hate you without secretly wanting to fuck you. he has legitimate criticisms of shepard and ill die on this hill, there's no ust he isn't into you and mad about it he just doesn't like your fucking attitude. and you can't convince me your shepard somehow turns it around into genuine love, i don't fucking believe you, it's ooc some characters will simply never grow to truly Like you more than respecting your ability and that's fucking okay and normal

also sparatus/saren, because while i adjust saren's age in my work to bring him up to 70 in me1 (and closer to sparky, 76) the main works i know of for that ship have sparatus more than twice his age (in his 60s while saren was EIGHTEEN) and taking advantage of the age gap and saren's emotional turmoil after his brother's death to groom him into the perfect partner, which... oh my god no. and it was presented as romantic! as saren's first real love before nihlus!! i am calling the police!! and pretty much everyone ive seen who talks about that ship got it from that fic so. yeah that author is my parasocial enemy

A random headcanon: despite how closely they have to work together, and sparky being a prosecutor pre-politics (thus allegedly on the side of the cops), he and pallin have a rather... antagonistic relationship, mostly because of how sparky responds to pallin's complaints about spectres ("i'll let them know" which usually means nothing will be done and the spectres will continue treating civil misdemeanors and traffic violations like a game) but also because sparky himself has personal beef with like 7 different prominent cops, is from a "fuck the cops they're imperial shills we can police ourselves" background, and is so so good at being pedantic and annoying when he's feeling petty which is any time pallin isn't talking about an actual serious issue. he wants pallin to stop bothering him about traffic stops. pallin wants to fuck the smug look off his face. they're not allowed to have face-to-face meetings without quentius present because they WILL go straight to childish squabbling.

General Opinion over said character: he's my grandpa. he's Me. nobody in this fandom deserves him y'all need to remove the main character pov blinders and think about shit from his perspective and stop just assuming he's racist and stupid because he tells you no. the man has his position for a reason, and if you listen to what he's actually saying he's DEEPLY empathetic and concerned with how the public at large will be affected, he fucking cares about people it's canon it's canon it's CANON he literally goes behind his colleagues' backs to try to help you save palaven and stop the war right away that's not what a selfish heartless bureaucrat who only cares about his own small circle does i have ESSAYS dammit

.... oops i care about this old man So Much

send me a character

[runawaymun]

If you're still doing it - how about Celebrimbor? If he's competing with Celebrian for your Elrond OTP he's gotta have some interesting headcanons to go with.

This has been sitting for ever sorry!! I've been meaning to get around to it because Celebrimbor is Best Boy.

1: sexuality headcanon

IDK I view him as being very open and not really caring so much about who he's attracted to. If the vibes click then the vibes click and he definitely enjoys sex, but he also isn't one of those people who has a preference in partners, nor does he really go out of his way to seek them. He's a very affectionate and attentive person in general, though, both with friends and with partners.

2: otp

Brimbrond. I literally can't say enough about Brimbrond. I just love the idea of them being very close in the Second Age, (with a bit of hero worship on Elrond's part that Celebrimbor finds very cute). I love the idea of Elrond being enamored with Celebrimbor, and Celebrimbor being enamored with this gorgeous ainur-like creature (funnier when you add Silvergifting into the mix...because I guess that Celebrimbor is just a maia-fucker). Love the idea of Gil being the one to introduce them and give them a little nudge. There's a bit of camraderie that comes from being able to speak Quenya with each other, and with my headcannon that Elrond picked up a Feanorian accent from M&M... that makes it even better. And Elrond being able to fill Celebrimbor in on late M&M, and Celebrimbor being able to tell Elrond stories about what they were like in Valinor...stuff like that. And Elrond loves nothing more than encouraging and supporting people and so I think he'd do really well with such a highly gifted and creative partner. And I like to think that Celebrimbor maybe saw things in Elrond that others didn't -- like his gift for medicine, and nudged him toward it. Sure, Elrond is a REALLY good politician, but he's a peerless master of lore and master healer, and I like to think that Celebrimbor spotted that in him and gave him space to explore those things. They're both SO people and friendship oriented, too, so they'd do a really good job of balancing each other out and making sure that they're getting their needs met in the midst of focusing on everyone else. And idk, I headcannon them being very soft for each other, and it also is just very juicy for how things Ended. Because Elrond is the one that Gil-Galad entrusted with his host to go and liberate Eregion. And Elrond was too late to save Celebrimbor. And with all of that history...I just Think It's Neat.

3: brotp

Tie between Galadriel & Celebrimbor and Erestor & Celebrimbor! I absolutely adore thinking about how close Galadriel and Celebrimbor must be as two of the last surviving direct descendants of Finwe. How they both remember the Treelight, and How Things Were Before, how much pure time they have spent with each other. How Celebrimbor crafts the Elessar and Nenya for her, both works intended to preserve and protect her and her lands from evil. Incredible. And it's my headcannon that Erestor is the son of Caranthir, which would make him and Celebrimbor first cousins. I like the idea of Celebrimbor sort of taking his baby cousin under his wing & the two of them surviving together as the last descendents of Feanor (even though it IS incredibly sexy to have Feanor's entire line end with Celebrimbor. I'm very fond of Erestor Morofinwion).

4: notp

I don't really have one, to be honest, though sometimes I get a bit irritated with Silvergifting being so ubiquitous -- purely because I get tired of seeing it. I've never been a huge Silvergifting fan. But I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a notp. I ship it in the right context with the right characterization!

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

My boy has the world's WORST time blindness. Just...he gets going on a project and nothing else exists.

6: favorite line from this character

We don't have a lot of direct dialogue from him, but I am especially fond of "In the working of this he became a rival of the Dwarves, or rather an equal, for there was great friendship between the Dwarves of Moria and Celebrimbor, and they shared their skills and craft-secrets.", and of course "Speak friend, and enter." Celebrimbor's hubris (which Sauron definitely used against him) is forever fascinating to me, but I think his defining trait is his openness to those around him, to how he forges friendships and alliances just as he forges his masterworks. How incredible it is that he walks in the footsteps of his grandfather, who created three Objects of Power and zealously guarded them as his masterworks -- where Celebrimbor creates three Objects of Power and keeps not one for himself, instead giving them away to his friends. How he goes to his grave in defense of his friends under immense pain and torture. Something something that post which said how this all began with "get thee gone from my gate" and ended with Celebrimbor and "speak friend and enter". I'm feral, okay? He's just so good. He's so good. I am clenching him in both fists.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

That hubristic desire to create a masterwork is something that resonates very deeply with me. I get way too wrapped up in trying to create something "perfect" and it gets lost in the sauce sometimes.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

The insistence that Silvergifting is canon. No matter how much we would like it to be, it's not. It IS very ubiquitous and it IS a fun ship, but it's not canon and I get very tired of the repeated insistence that it is (which I see a weird amount of going around). But in terms of the character himself, his wee baby crush on Galadriel is so embarassing for him. I can't take them seriously as a ship, because age-difference-wise it's about the equivalent of that time I met my baby cousin Beau for the first time. Beau is about seven years old and he imprinted on me like a baby duckling and got a wee crush. And I just feel like that's how Galadriel feels about Celebrimbor. Like 'aw, that's adorable and kind of weird. Love my baby cousin though'.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Cinnamon roll! Too good! Too pure! Too precious! A bright ray of Telperion's light!! <3 I would die for him.

[justastrugglinghotchocolate]

hehe basil hallward

ough you're really gonna ask me to write about the man who has captured my brain for the last two years?? Oke doke sit back and get ready!

Favorite Thing: Everything, literally everything but if I had to choose: The fact he tries to see the good in everyone no matter what they do. Basil is someone who loves the world and people in it, he's a diamond in the rough that gets exploited by everyone :(.

Least Favorite Thing: Everyone, at least in a lot of adaptations (shout out to the korean musical for not doing this!) and a lot of fics, make him all 'uwu i am baby and i never get mad but i'm always sad and in deep regret uwu' And no hate to that, except uuhhhh fuck that? Where are my fics where Basil gets angry? Where are all the Henry/Basil fics where Basil isn't like 'oh, he insulted me and never listens to me, that's just Henry,' and instead is like 'Henry, you motherfucker, I am done with your bs, you're a terrible friend, never talk to me again' and then Henry has to do the work of making their relationship better??? I hate the absolute infantilization that happens to Basil because he's shy. Yeah, he's quiet and keeps his opinions to himself, but he's not an innocent little baby--Let him be an adult human please!

Favorite Line: "I know you and Harry are great friends. I say nothing about that now, but surely you need not have made his sister's name a by-word." Translation: "Dude wtf, you slept with Harry's sister then fucked off?!"

brOTP: Basil and Sybil would have been best friends, not just because both loved Dorian, but they have a lot of similarities and I think they both need a friend like each other :)

OTP: Dasil only if both have had the chance to fully grow up. So like 25 and up year old Dorian dating Basil after going to college or finding himself. Basil/Henry otherwise, because they already act like a married couple.

nOTP: ....Basil and Death? Or Basil and Stabbing? With the amount of fics about Basil being stabbed to death, you'd think this was an actual ship. Listen, I LOVE angst, but be creative! Have Dorian keep Basil alive, but trapped in his attic as some kind of twisted punishment for making the portrait. Have Basil be the one who destroys the portrait and have him deal with the aftermath (Maybe he goes to Henry all bloodied and traumatized or something [Maybe it becomes a recovery fic?? Idk just make it happen lmao]). Have Basil escape to France, but, because he knows about the portrait, he's always scared Dorian might someday come for him when he is old and dying and thus defenseless. Give me creative Basil angst, please!

Random Headcanon: Basil (6'2) is the tallest in every friend group he's ever been in.

Unpopular Opinion: Besides the fact people are kinda uncreative with Basil angst or seem to be obsessed with it? I don't like how many people push the responsibility of redeeming Dorian on Basil. I think that's a product of the flawed belief in true love, but it leads to a ton of victim-blaming, which is stupid. There need to be more fics where the change of heart is inspired by Basil, but not caused by him.

Song I Associate With Them: Every song becomes a Basil song at some point, lmao. But genuinely, "Sign"- Liana Flores, "Not Ur Friend"-Jeremy Zucker, and "Happier Than Ever"- Billie Eilish.

Favorite Picture: I wanna put my bunny pic so bad, but I won't because minors.

I FUCKING LOVE BASIL HALLWARD YOU CANNOT EXPECT ME TO PICK 'ONE' PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oneirataxia-girl]

LOVE, AN ADMIRER: JIN "EYRE" RAON + HER BOYS

meet me at lover's lake = written just after billy called karen to call off their meeting, the note never made it to raon; rather, the mind flayer kept it and the note was later used by vecna to rub salt into the wound that was raon's repressed self-blame for causing billy's death

come back, come back to me = jerking awake from a nightmare, jonathan wrote it in a fit of depression and anger at himself, believing that he contributed to her decision to sacrifice herself for the party at hawkins and wishing that she was here, in hawkins, with him and will and mom like she wanted before he pushed her away

y'know that, raonnie? = the only one to believe raon dead, eddie might have caved into to dustin's pleas for him to keep a diary so that "raon can know everything", but he can't make himself believe that someone that ran into a horde of demobats would be able to live, not even someone as amazing as his raonnie

even if it kills me = steve knows raon, he might look like a dingus, but he knows her even better than byers does, so when he listens to the tape raon recorded before she left, he can't help but figure out what she actually means, but he's not letting her go ahead with her stupid bullshit sacrifice, even if it kills him

the enabler's call: @arrthurpendragon@misshiraeth98@carmens-garden - want to be added? shoot me an ask!

coloring: here!

[narcoticwriter]

itto

Thanks for the ask! I may or may not go hogwild, so it'll be under the cut:

Favorite Thing About Them?

How much this guy cares.

Someone's getting mistreated? He's backing them up.

A village of oni needs help? He's got it, no questions asked.

The Arataki Gang? He took them all in and accepts them as they are.

Stuck in a cavern? He'll punch his way out. Literally.

Youkai wanna have a festival? Well, he's on it and he'll do it all himself?

You graduate? He's arranging a whole celebration for your achievements.

He just cares so much about everything and he does so with an intensity that is fierce and an intensity that you can feel.

I love him.

Least Favorite Thing About Them?

I'll be the first to say that I would like for him to think on occasion.

The intensity with which he acts on things without reasoning through them gets him into more trouble than not.

I guarantee you that if he actually took things into consideration, he'd have had a bit more success in his life.

He can still do the damn thing, but at least he wouldn't be running in blind.

Favorite Line?

Boy, do I have a lot of them. I'll do the top three starting from the bottom:

"Hey, this is the mighty Arataki "Above All, Bold-Blooded" Itto you're talking to here! I'm a say-what-I-mean, mean-what-I-say, might-sound-mean-but-I-say-it-anyway kinda guy. And I say, we're gonna have this duel!" (The delivery)

"What can you possibly find inside? It can't be a living person, can it, hahaha... Whoa!" (Again, the delivery)

Arataki Itto: Hello (The line that reeled me in)

BONUS: "If you wanna take my Vision, you're gonna need a lot more people. 'Cause I'm Arataki Itto, The Supreme, The One and Oni!" (Character Demo, this shit dragged me into Genshin Impact in the first place)

BROTP?

Itto, Thoma, and Ayato are already a given and pretty much the closet thing to canon but hear me out:

Itto and Bennett.

They would get along so well because Bennett would be like 'oh no my bad luck' and Itto would be like 'that's nonsense because you're like one of the best guys I've met'.

They'd go adventuring too.

ALSO: Itto and Eula. They're not as similar as you'd think, but we already KNOW that Itto wouldn't tolerate people treating Eula bad over something she can't control because he knows all about that.

Itto and Zhongli but I'm already doing something with that one-

OTP?

You see, the only one I can see for me personally is Itto and Sara, but even then, I'd want them to be friends first.

The dynamics of them both being youkai as well as their own individuals struggling around that identity have so much potential, I'm telling you.

Other than that, I haven't seen any, but I will say that there's a case for Itto and Yoimiya. Just a bit. It's not my favorite, but I see where people are coming from with that one.

So in general, even if you did see me in my Ittosara phase, I'm over it and just want people to be friends with each other I guess.

NOTP?

. . . I don't have any? I think? Besides the obvious ones involving literal children?

I don't actively decry any ships that have some basis, really.

Random Headcanon?

You cannot tell me that this man wouldn't try snorting Pixy Sticks at least once.

Unpopular Opinion?

I really don't get why people only see him as an idiot.

He has his moments, sure, but in multiple instances, he's shown an incredible aptitude for reading certain situations and managing to solve the problem as well as gain the respect of others.

There's also the horniness and while I am the last person to bash people for anything of the sort, that seems to be the majority of the content for him.

I like digging deep into characters and really forming attachments to them based on the attributes I see and on occasion, I'm disheartened by the fact that I seem to be the only one who does.

But hey, who else is going to do the work if not me?

Song I Associate With Them?

Oh, this is interesting. I obviously associate his theme with him, but I feel as if that's too easy . . .

Got it. Escape From The City or City Escape from the Sonic Adventure 2 OST. The lyrics, the music, the sound . . .

It's definitely Itto.

Favorite Picture of Them?

I'm sure you can understand why.

Ask

[andonutty]

ok get ready for SPAM for the character meme thing : first one up? the beloved, the amazing, the most blorbo to ever blorbo ... randy sealman 🥺

send me a character and i'll list...

i'm going to be slowly working through all of these so @ anyone who wants feel free to send more of them! i'm never not accepting these. though if like 5 years down the line you send me the name of a character i'll probably be confused i'm not going to lie

favorite thing about them

EVERYHTINGGNGNG!??!?!?! though i think maybe my FAVOURITE thing about him is how sensitive and sad he is. like yeah sure he's got his "don't even fuckin' start" and "take that shit off" lines but his longest scene has him being so sad and emotional and sensitive?? and then we get the moment where he's like FULLY ass out for this girl he does NOT know?? UGH randy sealman you are the most mentally ill man to ever exist

least favorite thing about them

the fact that he has inconsistent crazy lore and also that he dies and that 0 people care

favorite line

"borden's dead. someone executed him." it is just SUCH a pookie line and he is SOOOOO?!?!?!???!?! so cute for this. obviously i love all his lines but this one is so PARTICULARLY pookie.

brOTP

randy and the bordens for sure. i think their dynamic is so tragically unexplored. like putting aside the fact that i ship randy and william HARD like ... they just seem like such a fun trio? i just think they are so cute and tragic. it's about randy really thinking these two are his BEST friends, meanwhile they both resent him so much after a while. it's just sad!!

OTP

OBVIOUSLY randy/tyler DUHHH. they are so cute and perfect for each other and they fuel me daily. there's something about hole from a man who is so impossibly sad. also im completely enamoured with our lore for them. but inside the actual source material, i would absolutely say randy/william. it's about william's little spat "you're an emPLOYee!" like oh girl you are projecting. you're having a little gayboy moment. honestly josh and daniel killed this movie they put their entire pussy into it and they're the best parts of it so even if their dynamic weren't so compelling i'd absolutely adore them as a couple simply because their characters are so good

nOTP

randy x duolingo girl. also randy x like hugo?? whatever the fuck his name is? creepy ass dude??? basically randy x any rancid character

random headcanon

i think randy really loves the water. this is sort of pulled from josh taylor and stuff about his roles and his insta and stuff, but i think it really fits for randy for him to love the water and swimming and stuff. it also adds a lot to his and maryanne's relationship

unpopular opinion

i love randy sealman and he deserves to live

song i associate with them

obviously deep in the night jay frog remix but i also want to personally shout out not allowed by tv girl and also nocturne by sufferer. i can't listen to deep in the night while writing him so i often listen to a feeling of power from the heavy rain soundtrack instead. i think when i write him i'm usually listening to nocturne though because tv girl, while a bop and super fun to jam to, it's harder to write to imo

favorite picture of them

i think my ultimate favourite picture has to be pool sex but i am also sharing when randy is like REHAB?? and also when he hugs his mommy in the saddest scene known to cinema. imagine your mom holds your face and is like you need help randy and you look so incredibly sad and then you hug her and start crying and say "i'm sorry" like EUGHFHGD. also his ass out picture is a huge fav and it's under the cut

this man was really waiting for this girl to come back from the bathroom and peg him. INSANE.

also not them being SO disrespectful on his cringe fail suspect board and having so many picture of his naked bloodied self. like GIVE HIM SOME DIGNITY

[joshuaalbert]

harry kim… ive missed your voyager posting but i want to hear your thoughts on dear harry boy…

favorite thing about them

he's my most favoritest guy. i love him. if like .03% of the things that had happened to him happened to me i'd be out there murdering bitches or something and he's still just out here being a nice friendly guy who tries his best for the ship and for other people. like sometimes they do a rly good job of making it clear that there's this very deep well of resolve to him and he is an incredibly hard person to break despite experiencing the horrors so so so often. BUT i also love it when he's unhinged like he absolutely deserves to get to go off the rails sometimes. and i like it when he's making little petty comments he deserves that too.

least favorite thing about them

i mean we all know this but he's SO fucked over by the writers/showrunners. there's literally no reason for the no promotion/left out of major storylines/frequently sidelined in favor of other characters deal except some like. racist bullshit. writers will be like "well we just don't think he's an interesting character" bitch then make him interesting lol that's your job.

brOTP

harry and b'elanna literally the single most important dynamic in the show to me. every episode that they don't have a scene together i think about committing unfathomable acts of violence. i really enjoy that they genuinely feel like friends who care tremendously about each other (although i wish we saw them hanging out more off duty or in the mess hall or whatever).

also like idk if it's a brotp because they're not like Bros but the harry and janeway dynamic makes me feel uhh vaguely insane. now that you're here someone can understand what i mean when i say it's kind of the inverse of picard and wesley in a lot of ways lmao.

OTP

honestly i cannot deny the weird gay thing he and tom have going on. with tom and b'elanna i can be like yeah she deserves better but a) he's usually better to harry than b'elanna because the writers don't seem to know how to write romantic storylines without some bullshit and b) it lowkey doesn't matter if harry deserves better because regardless of my opinions they just Do Have a weird and compelling fucked up gay thing. the chute literally exists.

also my beloved friend @aberfaeth who was my source of voy knowledge before i started watching voy is a ptk enthusiast and i like. very much see that in some arrangement i like whatever they've all got going on

nOTP

uhhh. hm. i dont know that i have one in terms of things that people actually ship? i am very not fond of the show's trend of giving him like tall blonde traditionally (western) beautiful women as like short term love interests that we're clearly supposed to assume he has absolutely no chance with because he's a lame nerd. in a vacuum him always going for like women that fit a specific mold of Hot Girl that he basically never actually has chemistry with would give comphet but i do think in this case it's far more representative of, again, the racist bullshit and it being very clear that they don't see him as being a viable romantic option.

random headcanon

i have not been rotating him in my mind long enough to have a ton of these but i do very much stand by my harry and b'elanna undefeatable battle bots build team headcanon

unpopular opinion

im not immersed enough in the voy ecosystem enough to know what opinions are popular tbh but i do think any headcanon that has harry like pining after tom is simply not a correct interpretation of events imo

favorite picture of them

like I said. I like it when he’s unhinged and when he’s petty.

[azurelyy]

kakashi!!

Hi, sweetheart! <3 One Copy Cat Ninja, coming right up!

1: sexuality headcanon

Kakashi isn't as experienced as people make him out to be. The main reason he's good in bed is because of all the porn he reads. That and he is just ~naturally gifted~ lol. But seriously, I don't imagine him having many notches on his bedpost. He most certainty isn't a fuck boy - he doesn't have the time, energy, or patience for that. No, if you're lucky enough to get with Kakashi then it's because he has an overwhelming attraction to you, and finds your personality addictive.

2: otp

I don't ship him with anyone in the canon show, tbh. Does @delirious-donna count? 😂 I am going to say so!

3: brotp

Gai! Come on! There is no other answer. These two are the best of fucking friends, and Kakashi knows it. He can deny it all he wants, but I know the truth.

4: notp

KakaSaku if we're sticking to canon where he was her fucking Sensei. I recently have opened my brain up to reading fics about them that alter the canon timeline, because honestly, it's some of the best written out there and I am starved for good Kakashi content that isn't y/n. I AM SORRY BUT THE FACTS ARE THE FACTS. Sometimes, you just want a third person story.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Kakashi literally doesn't stop. Even if he feels like shit, or is so sick he's struggling to keep his eyes open, he will still get out of bed and attempt to do whatever he had on his to-do list for that day. His partner will need to literally force him to stay home, and even then there's no way he is staying in bed. The second their eyes are off him, he's up trying to do chores around the house.

6: favorite line from this character

"Today, I got lost on the road of life." Iconic.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

There are so many to choose from... Unfortunately, I am going to have to go with the sort of sad option here and say I relate to how distant he can be when first meeting people. Basically, he and I share a trauma response lol. Maybe we could help each other get over it!

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

I will never get over the fact that he did this. Ever. It is burned into my brain.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

He's a problematic KING. But we love him for it. It's okay, Kakashi - we're all a little fucked up in our own ways. <3

[apricior]

Hihihi, Apri!!! Hope you're doing well 🧡🧡🧡 *speeds through your blog to see which characters were asked already* May I request a Normally Ly'Oak-Swallows-Garcia to match your Hermie the Unworthy-Foster-Actually???

hi happi!! i am! i hope you're doing great <333

Sexuality Headcanon: gay gay homosexual gay <3

Gender Headcanon: this boy is TRANSGENDER

A ship I have with said character: i know i don't talk much about it but i lowkey think oakworthy is a pretty nice ship

A BROTP I have with said character: i love her relationship with scary as i said here they're siblings they're best friends they're enemies they're two sides of the same coin they would fight each other on sight they would die if they got separated

A NOTP I have with said character: i don't really think i have one? i mean i don't like normal and scary romantically, i think they have more of a sibling dynamic

A random headcanon: are there lizards in san dimas? like on the streets or trying to get into your house?? if so i think normal has tried to befriend them and/or keep at least one of them as a pet (if this is a mediterranean thing then oops but it still stands)

General Opinion over said character: i am eating glass kicking the walls destroying all my furniture breaking my own bones over and over again he is EVERYTHING to me i genuinely get sad when i haven't heard his dumb ass in a bit
