Ayo does anyone have any theories as to why the Formless Mother is also called “The Mother of Truth”? That has to be significant in some way.

matchups.

hihi :’) way overdue – but here are the matchup requests that i received.  please check for yours below if it was sent in!  ctrl+f on desktop for your mbti/zodiac, or something you remember adding in if the post is too long to scroll through.

Hello! I'm INFP and 98% Type 4 & 92% Type 9. I'm a sun Pisces & moon Aquarius. I'm fairly introverted but can be kinda silly if I'm trying to be social. I'm also empathetic & sympathetic with plenty of self-confidence issues. My main hobbies are playing games, looking into social issues, thinking about game characters,etc. I keep bouncing between visions but Geo might be fitting since current Geo characters are a little more on the introverted side. Not sure if I'm late but wanted to try <3 I'm the INFP Pisces & Aquarius Geo asker and forget to mention that I'd like 1 platonic and 1 romantic!

romantic match-up: kaeya.

although it might be odd at first to pair him with a sensitive and introverted soul such as yourself, on the contrary, kaeya won’t have any issues relating to your emotional nature, even if outwardly it doesn’t seem so (behind his light-hearted and diplomatic dialogue, he’s got a transactional relationship with the knights he’s “loyal” to; his own brother is distasteful towards him; and he’s got an agenda that goes against everything he currently lives with.)  he’ll get a knack out of teasing you when the mood is fitting, and while he may not be the one to give you the best of pep-talks, his self-assured disposition does have its uses: confident words soothe over the creases of your worries and troubling thoughts, and when things are more light-hearted, the two of you will bounce off of each others’ playful mannerism.

platonic match-up: barbara.

barbara is a sweetheart who’s incredibly devoted to both her companions and her aspirations.  wholesome and energetic, she’s sure to keep you on your toes dancing, whether it be about how beautiful it is outside or the potential of a rainbow after a storm.  while she’s a clear extrovert, barbara is also insightful to the feelings of others – after all, an idol must understand her crowd! – so she’s sure to dial down the energy if you’re ever feeling weary that day.

hihi !! can i please submit myself for the matchups ? i'm intp-t, scorpio sun and leo moon. i'm 5'11, female, and am described to be a very energetic person. i like to think optimistically and have a special love for philosophy and chemistry !! my hobbies include reading and writing - i've also recently picked up baking. i think i would have a hydro vision in genshin - hydro users tend to be healers, and i think that's something i would specialize in. can i please have 2 romantic matchups 🥺

i'm the scorpio sun leo moon intp matchup ask !! i forgot to mention that my enneagram type is seven, sorry 😔

romantic match-ups: childe/tartaglia and jean. 

childe hyperfixates on individuals he deems strong.  while this usually translates into people who have experience on the battle field, in your case, he finds it admirable that you’re able to keep up with so many hobbies and interests.  your thirst for new experiences and stimuli is akin to his own sense of adventure, and your devotion to each and every one of them resonates with his own conviction to his aspirations.  you’re strong mentally, and when you interact, he always has to dedicate himself to you fully in order to keep up; there’s never a dull moment when you’re around him.

a workaholic in denial, jean’s position as acting grand master never gives her a break.  she’ll insist that she’s fine, that she’s content with her oversight of the knights, that they are her priority.  and while this is true, when you talk about how your interests range from chemistry to baking, it’ll remind her of the time she doesn’t have to do “normal people things.”  again, not that she’s miserable with the knights, far from it – it’s just that your life and spontaneity reminds her of the things outside of the knights that she wishes she could do, too.  your genuine energy never fails to make her smile – perhaps you were who she’s been waiting for.

hi, congrats on the 1k followers! i really enjoy your writing and i’m glad to see that you’re doing well! i hope the rest of 2021 goes well for you!

for the matchup event, i’d like one platonic and one romantic relationship. i'm an infp, 6w5, scorpio sun and virgo moon. my attention span isn’t the best and i’m an impulsive dumbass, but i still manage to get good grades somehow. i try to be sociable, but i have a habit of clamming up so i usually just end up sticking to the people i know. i’m kinda all or nothing with the effort i put into things; i run out of steam pretty easily so i tend to leave things unfinished, which i hate, but sometimes i’ll go wild and finish a semester-long project in one afternoon. overall, i really like helping others and being seen as reliable! i was really dependent on others in the past, and although i still kinda am now, i’m trying to be someone others can depend on.

as for hobbies, i mostly just play video games and scary stories. i’m also into a lot of crafts, particularly knitting and bracelet-making. i find the motions relaxing, but i enjoy it the most when i have someone to make things for.

as for my vision, i think hydro suits me best because it seems more support-oriented overall, which is the kind of role i’d like to have. however, that doesn’t mean that it can’t be used to do some serious damage if needed.

has lots of energy that’s hard to direct, but can plow through things they set their mind to.  likes security of things they know, and wants to give security as well.  creative outlets.  seems a bit finicky?  but insightful with their own emotions. 

romantic match-up: mona.

outwardly stubborn but inwardly self-critical, mona has dedicated her entire life to the stars, and it shows: her masterful grip on astrology is nothing to scoff at, and she’s arguably the most practiced mage in all of teyvat.  at first, she’ll be baffled at your impulsiveness and “lack of focus”: how will you ever get anything done? she’ll wonder.  but when you prove her time and time again that you can plow right through an obstacle just like scissors through paper, so long as it seizes your interest, she’ll take moments to think about her own outlook on life.  when she realizes your comfort in abstract, artistic past-times, she might ask cutely for you to teach her.  surely, if she can talk to the stars, she can make bracelets . . . ?  o-of course they’d be for you!  who else would they be for, if not someone she deems endearing.

platonic match-up: beidou. 

the personification of a tidal wave, beidou’s ferocity hits hard and leaves a mark.  the two of you will find it easy to bounce off of each others’ ideas – maybe even concerningly so to the rest of the crew – and hell, she might even sway you to sneak into a hilichurl village to steal some carrots if it’ll provide for some overdue fun.  lots of  pats  slaps on the back, and she’ll always beckon you over when she learns about something new, thinking that you might find it interesting, and when she wants someone else’s input.  she trusts your judgement like family, and knows that you’ve always got her.

hi! i would like to request a genshin character matchup (2 romantic). my mbti is infj and enneagram 2. i am a cancer sun and aries moon. i am calm and reliable, but i do have a mischievous side and use a lot of dry humor. when it comes to having fun, i like to enable others! i am also deeply passionate about community service. my hobbies include yarn crafting. my genshin vision would be cryo because i am highly motivated by love/emotion, can come off as cold, and love the ice aesthetic! tysm!

romantic match-ups: diluc and lisa.

often broody and contemplative, diluc has a whirlwind of thoughts in that hard head of his.  through your first interactions, he’ll piece together your intense devotion towards your loved ones and willingness to help others.  he’ll warn you that you should take time to consider yourself, too, and that it shouldn’t always be give, give, give, but those same traits in you that he worries about are the same qualities that draw him in.  once, too, he was as uninhibited as you, had the same energy.  perhaps it’s because you’re both so similar, both in internal hopes and mannerisms, is why he finds it easier to loosen up – even if he doesn’t immediately let go of that deadpan attitude of his when he knows you can come back just as hard.

she’s enthralled by your willingness to engage in her banter.  often, those she teases (flirtatiously or otherwise) leave with a red face and an adorable stutter, but it just so happens that you’re one to fluster her instead.  it’s been a long time since she’s met someone who can keep her guessing, yet is incredibly insightful to themselves and those around them.  she finds your qualities of fun and sincerity to be charming.  you’re a breath of fresh air compared to the stern knights she’s around all day, and she looks forward to meeting you after work, conversing with you as you walk down mondstadtian streets and eat over dinner.  there’s never a dull quip from your lips, and she’d love to hear everything on your mind.

hii hope I'm not making this too hard on u lol one romantic and one platonic please! either gender is fine I'm bi as Hecc mbti: enfp-t sun taurus moon aries I think my vision would be cryo because people say it's connected to loss and I've lost some pretty important people to me and also. I hate the heat I really like cards, wolves and the stars, my hobbies include working with robots and the general aesthetic of the mid 2000s, my favorite season is winter and I love buying ppl gifts ♡

platonic match-up: chongyun. 

immediately, your avoidance of heat and affinity to the calm will give him someone to relate to, and your attraction to the abstract will pique his interests.  (perhaps, once he’s become more confident with his exorcist abilities, he could pick up some of your hobbies?)  your practicality, in contrast to his often self-critical mindset, will ground him in times of need, and he’ll always ask you if he can help you out in return.  while he looks up to you as an individual, he’s honored to also be your friend, or at least someone you devote time to.

romantic-matchup: ningguang.

you both understand sacrifices and loss.  while it’s a rather bleak realization upon getting to know each other, your rationality and perseverance despite the past stirs her respect for you; your mindsets are incredibly alike, and she’ll often input your reasoning into her plans, and deem you a trusted associate of the liyue qixing.  in her demanding position, you are someone she can readily relate to and rely on.  in times when things are less hectic and the two of you can more freely relax, she’ll indulge in a shopping spree with you.  as someone who’s intimate with her in both profession and emotional relations, she’d love to show her gratitude. 

hi! i'd like to participate on the match up event!

i'm an infp, and also type six on the enneagram test, my sun sign is aries and my moon sign is pisces. i like arts in general with my favourite ones being music and painting, but i also enjoy writing and i spend a lot of time songwriting! also as a person i'm rlly clumsy and i kind of look mean bc of my resting bitch face lol. i think my vision would be anemo because i think it can be really useful in many ways and i like the reactions it has with other visions. i'd like two romantic match ups! i hope this was understandeable, as my english isn't the best. thank you! 💌

romantic-matchups: mona and zhongli.

mona will find your interest in the arts intriguing.  you always seem to get ideas at the most random of times, often startling her with how active your mind is.  and despite how she doesn’t reply much in return – she’s not versed in words or drawings, even if she won’t verbally admit it – you seem to be satisfied with her . . . reactions?  even if the most she can relate them to is astrology, it seems to be enough for you, so long as she isn’t uptight that day.  your creativity and attraction to the abstract gives her comfort: there aren’t many people in mondstadt who appreciate her profession, so even if you aren’t into the exact same things, she’ll at least know that there’s someone who looks forward to seeing her.

on his quest to “learn what being a human” is, zhongli encounters a myriad of occupations.  typically, the people of liyue are wound up with economics and realism, but your joy in the possibilities – how you can convey your emotions, through what mediums – of life has to offer reminds him of humanity.  with you, he’ll explore what mortals call “the small things” in life: akin to the spark of appreciation for flying lanterns, autumn-colored lights at night, feelings of wonder – that’s what you instill in him. 

hello!! id like a matchup please!! im an INTP-T and im Type 5,, im capricorn sun and libra moon. im a reserved person and kind of angry all the time,, and i get overwhelmed easily. im not that good with affection,, but me actually welcoming you into conversation or my room or smthn, or actually responding to you means something. im just scared to be open with affection because its always done me wrong in the past. anyways,, id like a platonic matchup and romantic matchup please!! thank u and congrats!!🥳🥳❤️❤️

hello,, im that Capricorn sun libra moon anon,,, very sorry to disturb you,,, but i didn’t mention what my vision would be!! i think id be pyro,, ive always been a bit cold or i usually shun people away,, so i think id be cryo!!!! or maybe hydro because im constantly having a mental breakdown LMAO(but i fr think id be cryo)

platonic match-up: sucrose.

while she’s constantly on-edge from work, sucrose will always make time to check on her dear friend.  after all, you do the same for her, even if you insist that you might not have the right words ready.  “partners in stress,” kaeya would teasingly dub the two of you as, but you don’t pay mind to him.  as quiet and reserved individuals, you find tranquility within each others’ company.  

romantic match-up: venti.

whimsical and regarded as a mere bard by most, venti puts up a convincing front.  but it’s just that: a front.  the real venti is concealed by a chipper voice and mercurial agenda, when underneath, there’s a solemn musician who’s burdened.  you’ll most likely be off-put by his facade, as he’s trained himself to constantly be lively – comes with being a performer – but will soon find that he understands your turmoil.  he’s not the best with sentimental words, but will instead convey his sympathies through strums of his lyre.  while it isn’t obvious that there’s security in freedom, he’ll be sure to encourage you that there’s a way.

Hello Al! For the match-up event would it be possible for me to ask for 1 romantic and 1 platonic? As for my MBTI I am an INFJ-T. As for the ennseagram I am 98% type five and 90% type 6. I am a Taurus sun and an Aquarius moon. I tend to come off as polite and often times a bit shy/reserved irl. I love learning new things. Conversations that have all parties thinking critically are definitely my favorites. My hobbies are writing, drawing, learning new things, reading, and playing video games. As for Genshin vision I'd have to say cryo. I've taken a quiz on quotev and got a tie between cryo and anemo. Cryo's description seemed to fit my personality better. I also seem to have a connection with the cold. Let me know if you need any more info. Remember to take care of yourself. ~Taylor💙

platonic match-up: albedo.

you both have your inquisitive sides, and albedo is more than willing to talk to you about his discoveries.  while he might not proactively reach out to you – more like, if you’re nearby, and he happens to catch you peeping at his work, he’ll engage with you.  he finds your takes thought-provoking and your candor respectful; a fellow of agreeable disposition, your calmness and supplementing nature also makes it easy for him to work.

romantic match-up: zhongli.

both intuitive and practical in your approaches, zhongli’s given a new perspective when you converse, or at least, a new thing to ponder over.  many regard him as stiff besides his gentlemanly disposition; your focused and insistent care will enrapture him as heartwarming, that there are “acceptable” vulnerabilities, but they’re not weak points at all – far from it.  your security and assuredness is harmonious with your emotion insight, making for a stable lifestyle that he easily molds into.  the conversations that the two of you engage in are nothing short of provocative.  just as much as he learns from you, he also provides with tales of the old days. 

Is - is the matchup thing still relevant? If not you can just ignore this message - its ok, i know ur busy :)

If it is still on tho, i wonder if i could get a platonic and romantic one?

Im a INFP-T(??), Type 4, pisces sun sag moon.

Im a dumb nerd with big glasses who loves t shirts with puns ot jokes on it. Im not sure about my hobbies, i just like anything that can make me think - memes, books, music, games with lore. I dont like boring, overly normal stuff. I have shitty sense of direction and i suck at math.

I think that my vision would be anemo since thats (i think) an element that requires both creativity and knowledge to work with, which is very special and interesting to me.

Thank you so much in advance! Or sorry if i sent this too late 😅

platonic match-up: xinyan.

both of you are free-flowing and seek excitement.  you’re the gasoline to xinyan’s match: you both feed off of each others’ knack for new things, stimuli, and the bold.  you could be walking down the streets of liyue, eating bags of mora meat, and then suddenly run down to the northern wharf to catch passing boats and playfully debate over which snobby aristocrat is being shipped off.  there’s never a dull moment between the two of you, and the plan is always no plan.  spontaneity is the name of the game, and it’s one that you can go at for ages. 

romantic match-up: beidou.

there’s hardly a moment to breathe on the crux fleet, that’s for sure.  be prepared to explore the entirety of teyvat with beidou, because she’s got you covered with all of your “new thing” needs, alongside your ocean-borne family.  she’ll find it humorous that you’re not practiced in navigation – ironic for a seafarer.  but steering is complex, and she’d gladly help you out in learning, just another thing to do in a day’s work. 

Hi! For the match up event, I'm 98% type 3 and a 97% type 7, I'm am Intp and my moon sign is scorpio, my sun sign is Pisces. I'm above than average in math and I like to draw from time to time, I've tried to learn the ukelele but ultimately failed. I'd like my vision to be an electro cause my fav color is purple and I like how the electricity sparks and stops my enemies, I'm also a fan fic writer and love manhwas

Hi! I'm the last anon that you reminded that should have put 2 romantic in the ask! Sorry about that, it just completely flew over my head

romantic match-ups: ningguang and childe/tartaglia.

your ambition knows no bounds, and your drive is a force to be reckoned with.  some may call your approaches headstrong, but your ability to take initiative is something that ningguang greatly admires.  it’s something she professes that you two have in common – granted, even if her economic tendencies are more cutthroat.  while the two of you have incredibly firm opinions that might send shocks across the room you’re debating in, ningguang trusts your rational thought and explorative mindset.  your like-mindedness, in this instance, brings great relief to her in her position.

childe is also someone who would take interest in you.  he’s not one for schemes like the rest of the harbingers, and would appreciate your straightforward approaches and the focused energy you put into each project/obstacle you face.  it makes it easier for him to speak his mind, and he’ll find comradery with you fairly easy to come by.  gradually, the zeal the two of you share can draw you into more adventures, and he’ll have someone he can call a trustworthy partner. 

Hello! For your generous match-up event, could I request two romantic matches please? My MBTI type is INFP and my enneagram type is four. My sun sign is Aries and my moon is Gemini. I am a quiet but curious person who can be really flirty and sarcastic in private. I am very caring to those I love. My hobbies including writing and drawing. For my vision, I think I would be cryo? I’m a secretive person who has trust issues and can be cruel. I love your blog, you’re so skilled! Thank you so much!

romantic match-ups: kaeya and jean.

you’re a trusted soul by all, even if many also regard you as reserved.  kaeya isn’t one to grow attached (it’s hindered him in the past), however after being paired with you on multiple missions, he’ll feel more at ease around you due to your good nature.  your duality is also a breath of fresh air, and each time he talks to you afterwards, he’s reminded that there are individuals who have others’ best interests at heart.  many knights will catch the two of you tossing jokes back and forth at each other, but for once, kaeya isn’t trying to swindle anybody. 

the acting grand master has a lot on her plate, but she finds that when she’s in your company, the tray is a little lighter.  she relates to your sincerity and good intentions, a welcome refresher in the world of forced diplomacy and tedious hours.  you also seem to know just the right things to say to lighten the mood, with a cute smile to top it all off. 

hello! Could I request 2 romantic match-up? I'm ENFP, enneagram 2w3. Sun Sagittarius, Moon Scorpio, Asc. Virgo. My hobbies consist of anything generally creative, gaming/anime, hanging out with friends esp!! I'm the type of person to show affection by physical touch and by gentle ribbing-- I love making other people laugh. I'm always down to do things, new or not, and an honest and easy-going person. My Vision would be Geo bc I think it reflects how I am as a person-- stable n loyal :) thank u!!

romantic match-ups: venti and beidou. 

no one would’ve thought that you and venti would be a pair – then again, when they consider your tendencies for jokes and charisma, it’ll all come together.  wherever the two of you go, laughter follows, like dandelions in the breeze.  venti hits it off with you almost immediately after you meet, your natural social nature enabling easy conversation.  you’re also very zealous with topics that pique your interest.  it’s a genuine, eager curiosity that he can’t help but consider endearing.

the two of you are always searching for new things, be it small islands in the horizon or neat little specialties that you manage to catch in the corner of your eye.  there’s never a dull moment when the two of you get going on ideas, and while you may be the more rational, beidou will always insist on adding some more “zest” into whatever you come up with.  if you push her, she might accidentally shove you off the boat with the playful enthusiasm of a golden retriever. 

Hiya~! Thank you both for doing this! For the character match-up, I'd like to request two (2) Romantic please lmao, with a side of French fries.

I'm an INFP, Libra sun/Scorpio moon. My external personality might lead ppl to think I'm a charismatic extrovert, but that's the face I show for the 5 whole minutes I'm socializing, and then return to my introvert turtle shell for the next week. I cycle through hobbies since I get bored quickly, but I always come back to music since singing is my passion. I know for sure my Vision would be Anemo bc I need to be free to feel comfortable and tend to react rather aggressively when I feel restrained 🤔

I'm deeply emotional, sometimes impulsive, and dislike relying on others. I tend to be cat-like in my affections... sometimes I Love, other times Do Not Want. Except for animals, they always get my love ❤ ehehe....

romantic match-ups: mona and kaeya.

mona considers your nature incredibly easy to grasp.  but don’t take it as an insult or offense – in fact, your simplicity is a constant in mona’s life: you like time to yourself, and when you’re alone is when your energy comes out.  she doesn’t have to worry about reading too much into your feelings when she can see that you’re independent.  your interactions are calm and reassuring; she doesn’t have to be uptight around you, because she knows you trust in her abilities and lifestyle, and security with herself and those she cares about is her top priority. 

kaeya’s able to relate to your social tendencies.  there’s a front that he puts up in front of his colleagues (purely for professional purposes) before reverting back to his natural state of mind.  he finds your distance understandable, and considers it something the two of you have in common.  when you talk one-on-one, it’s easy to bounce ideas off of each other about mondstadtian culture and other topics of interest; while your independent natures may lead to some time apart, there will always be fresh experiences waiting when you do meet again.

[ocular-intercourse]

3, 29, and 32 for all of them 👀

thank you!! i’ll stick to my main boys or else i’d still be typing tomorrow

FINN

3. Favorite companion

oh this is so hard to answer for finn cause he is so full of love for every one of his friends and family he could not single anybody out, I’m going to count love interests out for this question in general even though for some of them they would be their company of choice. for finn i’m gonna have to say randy, cause logan and colin come as a package. he was his first friend after he moved to the us (counting out shawn) and with randy being an absolute chaotic mess of a person finn feels very comfortable around him. randy has some of the qualities finn has when he’s manic and messing up, hurting people or getting himself in trouble, seeing that in randy but seeing other people still love him and finn himself loving him is reassuring. it’s also really nice getting together with a person that has a very careless energy, where they can egg each other on and get into bullshit together and just have fun while another person would try to be more reasonable or would look at you weird for certain ideas. randy is very much a no-judgment kind of person and while that sometimes makes him an asshole it is also very relaxing when you are a person that judges oneself a lot and feels guilty for so many things. flawed ppl being flawed together without having to be ashamed. ❤

29. What makes them blush

to his friends he is very much an open book, he is a terrible liar, so all of his emotions are just out there, he is pretty relaxed about people getting to see these things, cause he has learned it makes life easier sometimes, for people always knowing where they are at with him. he is not embarrassed about many things, so making him blush out of embarrassment is a hard thing to do. he get’s blushy when he is excited or angry, just because he is energetic and agitated and not staying still. the one thing that makes him blush because it overwhelms his feelings is when he considers something very earnest admiration. a lot of compliments he just brushes off either as something that he does not agree with at heart, or as something the other person feels like them must say out of some sort of obligation, but if we had a situation, say shawn looking at him in an intimate moment and telling him how beautiful he thinks he is and finn realizing that that man is just genuinely in awe in that moment, especially about something finn is not always in agreement with, something like that would make him blush big time. so yeah, genuine compliments about things finn is insecure about, that does it.

32. If they had a tumblr, what would they post

i love this question hsadgj if finn had a tumblr it would be part of his online presence as a somewhat famous person, so a tumblr after finn became a professional athlete and one he would have had before that are two very different things. he is not very knowledgeable about online etiquette cause he did not spent a lot of time online, or with media in general, not a lot of pop culture references and stuff there, so some of it might be a little clumsy, but he catches on real quick. he would want to genuinely use it as a tool to connect to people, so it would be him sharing pictures or videos from his life, but also invite people to interact, asking for recommendations on things, Q&As, discussions about what to play for the next stream, he is the person that tries to answer every message, he would also very much use it as a tool to educate people, because he is very conscious about social issues, he advocates for equality and talks about mental illness and being poc and later on about sexuality and gender and so on, his rants go from angry to eloquent. pre fame finn tumblr would be more like.. just about bands, tattoos and food, more of a dark moodboard kind of thing, aesthetics of a sad angry boy

ASHER

3. Favorite companion

does clover count? these days being around people does not feel comfortable to him because he feels with every second they spend around him they are more and more in danger, he does sometimes get the same fear about clover but he feels his father would not harm her considering it was his idea to get an attack/protection dog and he just loves the idea of asher, voluntarily for once, running around with what is basically a weapon, he is really impressed about asher’s dedication to the training and how vicious the animal can be on command. so asher does not only feel safe considering clover will probably be safe, but also feels safe having her around as a protection dog, because people do have him in their crosshairs both for being incredibly rich but also being the son of a crime lord or whatever. he would have much more trouble using a weapon against another person, for some reason it feels more controlled to him, to have this dog that will incapacitate anybody he tells her to, not that dog bites can’t be deathly too but she is very much trained to do as little lasting harm as possible

29. What makes them blush

he is so dead inside i’m not sure he has the capacity these days, but i do feel like any kind of tenderness and closeness is a potential for him to blush. he was raised at a distance, very controlled, level-headed, you know, behave yourself, keep yourself together, being surrounded by someone who is just naturally very touchy feely and receiving their attention would probably make him blush real good. being told somebody is proud of him would be the killing blow, while his father expects him to be the best always and asher exceeding at everything eden still mostly tells him he is a disappointment as a very messed up tool to motivate and any sense of proudness he gets from his father is either when on public display, or about things asher himself does not feel especially proud of. asher can’t help but try and be the best at everything, part of it is definitely about getting some sort of parental recognition that has always been dangling just out of reach, at this point i don’t think it matters who says the words he is conditioned to fall apart upon hearing them.

32. If they had a tumblr, what would they post

his own photography, but he would also use it to promote any artist he enjoys, it would be a lot of art history, a lot about music, rich boy guilty pleasure: pictures from travels and gourmet food

TEDDY

3. Favorite companion

his brother, brad makes him feel most accepted and at home in his family, he engages the most with him, out of genuine interest but also because it gives him input for his books. teddy does not mind so much, being used for inspiration, he feels a little flattered even, that someone would consider his life that interesting, and brad makes it very clear that his interest in teddy is much more than just a goldmine considering his career. they very clearly admire each other and enjoy the feeling of the other thinking so highly of them

29. What makes them blush

anything that goes in either direction of a base emotion, being very happy, being very angry, strong emotions most definitely get him there, similarly to asher he was also raised to be a well-behaved child and to subdue big gestures, he was however never good at that, but it did lead to him feeling a sense of shame whenever he can’t hide just how excited/mad/annoyed etc. he is

32. If they had a tumblr, what would they post

teddy would have a cottagecore blog, it’s all flowers and comfortable little houses and domestic life and animals mixed with stuff about mythology and monsters, he would also have fun reblogging and engaging with stuff about his brother’s books, considering some of it is secretly based on him he would find it really entertaining reading about headcanons and everything

ACE

3. Favorite companion

i think his impulse would be to say his brother but being around dale is much more nerve wracking than he realizes himself, he would probably notice it, if he would spend some time with dale, and immediately afterwards spend some time around ben, that he would suddenly feel much calmer and more welcome and could just BE without it being some weird unspoken competition. i know i said no love interests, but with ace being, well ace and somewhat aro i do think ben counts more as a companion in a platonic way to ace than he would call him a love interest

29. What makes them blush

NOTHING he won’t allow it, but no that isn’t true but you would very much have to come at him with a sledgehammer or catch him off guard real good which is hard considering ace is always vigilant and dedicated to showing as little involuntary emotion as possible. ben and ellie get really good at flustering him once they get more intimate, they might find it a little too entertaining

32. If they had a tumblr, what would they post

memes, shitposts, trolling 24/7, just really obsure dada-esque humor. oh and his music

GYO

3. Favorite companion

gyo is a little hesitant at enjoying other people’s company cause he’s too used to betrayal, he does enjoy just being there though, just one of many, part of a group, not especially important to any of them so they don’t have a tight bond, but spending time together nonetheless, might be an army thing, the evenings in camp before you march on or fight, camaraderie. he does however feel especially proud when surrounded by his closest subordinates, the ones he’s been a mentor to, just the thought of this group of strong people that act on his orders, but it is not a single person. a person who’s company he truly enjoys wholeheartedly is his granddaughter of course, but they don’t see each other very often. dimà has the potential of becoming a companion sooner or later but who knows where that ends it’s a weird power balance. gyo would probably consider raime a little bit too beneath him to truly consider them a companion, though he feels closer to them than he’d like to admit.

29. What makes them blush

blushing gyo is such a lovely idea. i think innocence makes him blush, children interacting with him seeing nothing but a hero, it makes him equally bashful and ashamed. showing weakness makes him blush, cause he never does that, it would be uncomfortable and new and make him very vulnerable and would only happen if there is truly no way around it, talking about what happened to him when he was a slave would make him blush, it’s a mixture of anger, disgust and shame of having been so weak

32. If they had a tumblr, what would they post

hasfhasgfdj ok we all know my favorite version of modern gyo is the army bbq dad and i find the idea of him basically posting facebook level dad posts really really funny, shaky pics, unflattering low angle selfies, pictures of his fishing successes, reminiscing about his army days, but with him being a security guy he would in all honesty not do that, he would not post any personal information at the very least. how about just a blog about weapons and self-defense. if there’d be such a thing as tumblr in the gyoverse it would be a propaganda tool about the greatness of the empire and the unbeatable 7th division and the divine heir

Schooling with truth: Michelle Malkin, Jose Vargas talk illegal immigration

http://twitter.com/#!/michellemalkin/status/319548362493947904

Fascinating Twitter conversation today about #immigration b/w @joseiswriting and @michellemalkin. Really worth checking out.

— Kicker (@goKicker) April 3, 2013

Fascinating, indeed. It is a must-read conversation. But, how did this conversation come about?

For those of you just joining the discussion with @joseiswriting– Background: michellemalkin.com/2011/06/24/und… and michellemalkin.com/2013/04/03/the…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

As Twitchy reported, the Associated Press caved to political correctness and open borders bullies by dropping “illegal immigrant” from its Stylebook. Twitchy founder Michelle Malkin wrote more about it today.

Just look at the ABC News coverage of the AP’s decision. “Journalist” Cristina Costantini praised the move and patted her own colleagues on the back for their progressivism. “Fusion, the ABC-Univision joint venture, does not use ‘illegal immigrant’ because we believe it dehumanizes those it describes and we find it to be linguistically inaccurate.” On her Twitter account, “journalist” Costantini gushed that AP’s capitulation came “thanks to the hard work of great people like @joseiswriting.”

“@joseiswriting” is Jose Antonio Vargas, the former Washington Post reporter who spearheaded the whitewashing of our language and our laws on behalf of illegal aliens. In 2011, with great fanfare and elite media sympathy, Vargas publicly declared himself an “undocumented immigrant.” Except, as he himself confessed, Vargas had documents coming out of his ears — including a fake passport with a fake name, a fake green card and a Social Security card his grandfather doctored for him at a Kinko’s.

Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) tweeted to Malkin this afternoon.

I’d love to cook dinner for @michellemalkin, make her adobo (traditional Filipino dish) and talk #immigration. Name a time/place.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting Thanks. I like my adobo with an extra-heavy dose of vinegar.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, I can cook it w/ more vinegar. I can make pork adobo or chicken-and-pork adobo. Name a time, place, I’m there.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

That’s fitting. I understand you’re very good at delivering whine. RT @danavachon @joseiswriting @michellemalkin I’d volunteer as sommelier.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

Heh. Dana Vachon is a Whiner McWhinerson, as Twitchy readers know.

Not in my book. I sincerely want to hear your views on #immigration “@michellemalkin: Because having diff pol views makes me a traitor.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@sundevilsal @latinovoter @michellemalkin, yes there is a big difference. Undocumented people like me want a process to become legalized

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

They decided not to wait for dinner, as yummy as the proposed dinner sounded. The conversation took place sans food … on Twitter. Guess what? Honest and blunt conversation can also be civil. Who’d have thunk it?!

Don’t believe us? Read their full exchange, including some input from fellow Twitter users.

@joseiswriting My views have been open book since 1992. You said you’ve read my work since 2001. We’re on opposite sides of this debate…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, I’ve read your columns since 2001. I admitted to everything in @nytimes essay, then in @time cover.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, I am most interested in your views on fixing our broken immigration system. Also, your views beyond US-Mexico border

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, so what’s a solution? How do we fix our broken #immigration system? In a way that honors our past and serves our future?

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, fair, common sense, humane solution to a broken immigration system?

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting Let’s cut through smoke. When you say “fix our broken #immigration system,” you mean “amnestize me & 11 mil illegal aliens.”

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, 11 million immigrants like me are asking for fair process for legalization. This is not 1986. Reagan gave amnesty.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting I have scores of “solutions” for prioritizing natl security, shoring up visa requirements, enforcing employer sanctions…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting tightening consular screening, reforming immigration court system, ending green card application backlog…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting but you don’t consider those “solutions” because they don’t solve *your* problem.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, if I wanted to solve *my* problem, I would have kept my mouth shut, kept hiding and not start @defineamerican

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting And I am telling you that YOUR status, of your own making, is not my problem & should not be the federal govt’s priority.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, so should I be deported? Or should I and others like me be given a process to legalize?

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, alas, I must take subway soon to a meeting. would love to continue this, either on Twitter or over adobo. salamat.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, back from meeting. Responding to your tweets now.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting It should be clear to you that my beef is not so much with you as it is with open-borders pols in BOTH parties…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting …who refuse to take their constitutional duties seriously.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting Yes, you should be. No you shouldn’t be given any more than you’ve already generously been given. You broke countless laws.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, I’ve been ready to be deported from the day @nytimes published my essay. I called ICE myself when I wrote for @time

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, I was done–I am done–hiding and lying to the gov’t and country I call home.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting You did so intentionally. You are blessed to be able to live here openly in defiance of US laws…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting …while others around the world wait their turn.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

Ok,that’s funny MT @planta If this was in Philippines, once @joseiswriting & @michellemalkin were done debating, they’d sing duet on karaoke

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, we can talk policy and politics all day. But I live this. It’s real, not about Dems or GOP

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting I don’t really know what that means. Of course it’s real. Not just for you. And of course it’s not just about Dems & GOP.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@donaldjoy @jilldlawrence @joseiswriting Don Young is an idiot.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting @nytimes @time As I’ve said before, lucky you. You called govt’s bluff & you won. Count your blessings.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, even though I don’t have a driver’s license or a US passport or a green card, I am incredibly blessed and privileged

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@josemedinajr @jilldlawrence @joseiswriting Not popcorn. It’s adobo. Or lumpia.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

And halo-halo! RT @michellemalkin: @josemedinajr @jilldlawrence @joseiswriting Not popcorn. It’s adobo. Or lumpia.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting Yeah. You are.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

Not a second goes by that I do not know it. Or own it. RT @michellemalkin: @joseiswriting Yeah. You are.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, but questions remain: I am only 1 of 11 million. What does the gov’t–want to do w/ us? how do you define American?

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting On that we have absolute agreement. #GodBlessAmerica

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, if I am ready to be deported but the gov’t does nothing, what am i suppose to do?

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting And we’re back to this. Stand by…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting So you are 1 of 11 million. So? There are 302 million other people living in America who didn’t break immigration laws.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, I don’t want special treatment. neither do rest of 11 million undocumented immigrants. We want process to become legal

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting There are 302 million other people in America who didn’t commit immig document fraud.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting There are 302 million other people in America with kids who want to go to affordable colleges.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

I know. RT @michellemalkin: @joseiswriting There are 302 million other people in America with kids who want to go to affordable colleges.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting There are 302 million other people in America worried about the economy, jobs, their future.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

Of course RT @michellemalkin: @joseiswriting There are 302 million other people in America worried about the economy, jobs, their future.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting What should the federal government do? Prioritize the 302 million people here legally over the 11 million here illegally.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

Meaning? RT @michellemalkin: What shud the fed gov’t do? Prioritize the 302 million people here legally over the 11 million here illegally.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, I am not here to take away a slice of a pie–I am here to make the pie bigger

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@kyleraccio, yes, legal immigrants should be prioritized over those who are here w/o proper papers. that’s only fair. cc @michellemalkin

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting Well, you could do right by the “broken system” and leave on your own, which you have chosen not to do…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting Or you can continuing living here in limbo, fairly sure but not completely certain that you will not be deported…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting The uncertainty is the price you pay for the choice you make.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

You are correct. But we need a process. RT @michellemalkin: @joseiswriting The uncertainty is the price you pay for the choice you make.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting Pie…or bibingka…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

How is demanding the government excuse your crimes not special treatment? MT @joseiswriting @michellemalkin, I don’t want special treatment.

— El SOOPer!! (@SooperMexican) April 3, 2013

@soopermexican @joseiswriting Precisely.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

That IS special treatment. MT @joseiswriting I don’t want special treatment. neither do rest of 11 million…We want process to become legal

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, so, again, you would rather have 11 million undocumented people here STAY undocumented? with no process for legalization?

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, even tho US economy DEPENDS on undocumented workers. even tho we are at your classrooms, churches, stores?

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, would you rather I stayed in the #immigration closet and kept lying and hiding?

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

.@joseiswritingactually, forcing legal immigrants to wait while illegals take advantage of America IS special treatment @michellemalkin

— El SOOPer!! (@SooperMexican) April 3, 2013

@soopermexican @michellemalkin, I was ready for my gov’t to deport me. i never asked for special treatment.

— Jose Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting) April 3, 2013

@joseiswriting You exaggerate. npr.org/templates/stor…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

You are missing the bigger picture. RT @michellemalkin: @joseiswriting You exaggerate. npr.org/templates/stor…

It’s the least they could do. MT @joseiswriting undocumented workers paid $11.2 bil in state & local taxes in 2010: bit.ly/hfqc3b

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 3, 2013

@michellemalkin, so you’re blaming the broken bureaucratic system?
