Writing BFGF talking about McDonald's as a guy who actually hates McDonald's is such a funny fucking experience. Like, the best opinion I have is I like their ranch and that's barely anything cuz I'm just a huge ranch guy, even if it's fast food buttermilk ranch packets. Sorry BFGF but you should get a better favorite fast food place. /j

OKOK SO. sorry this is so late i had to have a shower rghagdhd

So so most of these are just silly headcanons however:

-I am such a glasses tash truther but i think he doesn’t wear them cuz he’d go ‘wow my eyes hurt today and everything's blurry but thats normal :]’ poor boy needs glasses tho (this is me projecting id did this in primary school dhdhdj)

-BLIND OWL GIRL. SO. you might be thinking oh she walks around and finds her way around with magic and may i pitch you ‘Echolocation’. i know birds don’t have that but her whistles made me think of that!!

-Owl girl’s deal with Somni is something that lets somni leave the train? Or tash is connected to the train cuz of the station meaning he can’t leave the train. one of the two?

-The bugs and the monster in the woods might not even be related but i like to think the bugs are aquatic in a way same with how the monster ‘squelched’?

ok reading these back sound more like wordbuilding hcs and not much sense but yeahhh very happy that this fandom is growing and you seem very cool :]]

silly headcanons are still so real, this is gonna be so cooL.. sry im gonna like. actually reply with my own takes on these; not trying to disprove you or some shit o7

- REAL. THAT BOY HAS GLASSES ‼‼ thats.. yeah hed do that.. i like thinking that he has a glasses chain bcs when he DOES wear them hes scared of losing them.. bcs he has before. hdfghdf. eye pain is normal though right??? right, tash?????

- ooOOOOOHH YOOO. OKAY. ECHOLOCATION. THATS COOL. THATS FFUCKING COOL. i love that. if she can make her owl noises she can echolocate !! who cares if birds dont do it, shes special Ɛ> hdfkjhd tash has no clue that shes blind and cant rly hear the clicks cause theyre out of human (or axolotl hehe) hearing register (did actually check this!! typical bat echolocation frequency is mostly out of human range and DEFINITELY out of axolotl range)... he never finds out until someone, probably somni, just casually mentions it and hes like 'whAT. but.. but you went through those woods even faster than i did?' ...he gets no explanation other than a glare dkfjhg

- ooohhh.. oooh !! oh thats fun.. hadnt actually considered train somni.. shes always seemed like something Outside of it to me! like something that Knows about the train and how it Functions but was never a part of it.. oh thats fun. train somni is fun bcs. shes Left it and she Knows about it now and has reached whatever he destination is and shes just Done with it and. oh thats cool.. (tash is deffo connected to the train bcs of the station. somehow. i odnt know but SOMEHOW.)

- !! oh fun ! aquatic monsters and bugs.. plot twist: the entire world is underwater. THIS IS HOW AXOLOTL TASH CAN STILL WIN- sorry im thinking about that too much dfhlgkd

okay thats all sry i have lots to say fhdsklg

!! i am also soo happy to see the fnadom growing, i had no one to post my insane thoughts to before so it all just went in dms with figg but. HAHAHA NOW THERE ARE OTHER INSANE PEOPEL 💥..ahem you seem very very cool too !! ᗡ:

[dogcodedcatboy]

pre relationship: 3, general: 3, 6, love: 10, 13, domestic life: 7 !!

hihihihihihi !!!! i cant wait to start s2 tonight i need to see my kittycat i need to see him !!!!! thank u for always sending asks my aaroman warrior o7 u should rb this ask game 2 so i can pelt u w waystarshipping and jermstone questions

Did any of their friends or family want them to get together?

absolutely fucking not!!!!!!

by the time any of the roys find out its too late, theyre already very much together. i think the fam knows abt aaron before 04x03 and like, willingly keeps him a secret (have 2 believe none of them would out a family member for personal gain. if not just to avoid the shitstorm for logan). some of them wuld obviously would prefer for roman to a) not be gay or b) at least not be dating a Fucking Weirdo. oh well!

aarons friends are also not. thrilled. for obvious reasons. reactions range from 'ok...u r gold digging, right? does this mean we can afford a hot tub :D' to 'morally/ethically what the Actual fuck is wrong with you bro???'

What was their first kiss like?

hmm the first time they kiss probably an impulsive. half-drunken thing. prolly after their first '''date''' (which roman insists is not a date despite calling him up and inviting him for dinner and drinks). it's rlly messy, roman is kind of an awful kisser at first (out of practice #nobitches) so aaron is kinda like...ok....but it's very endearing somehow.

What’s their relationship with each other’s families?

i could write a dissertation on. aaron and the roys. i think he's...polite? i mean, he knows roman is super close to them despite how fockin shitty they are to him all the time, so he's willing to grin and bear it. he doesnt like ken for Reasons (annoying on twitter, involvement in 'dog pound', annoying in real life)*, he's rightfully intimidated by shiv, he thinks connor is rlly fuckin funny, he has a weird psychosexual obsession w tom (as stated, would put tom in a saw trap), he thinks greg is cool and would like to talk about his record collection w him.

*authors footnote: i personally like kendall a lot i do love the fucked up brother dynamic between ken and rome BUT aaron is protective and an asshole and doesnt care abt nuance if youre mean to his boyfriend you go to the gulag for 1000 years ! aarons friends are hsi family! he lives w his childhood + college besties! they are all spectacular assholes as well so roman weirdly fits in! roman likes aarons bff because he is also a snarky asshole. one of aaron's college friends actually is from LA, so that's another person he can relate to somewhat. ovi he's a rich asshole tho and like, has to adapt to how normal people live and socialize (aaron and his friends arent even normal theyre like a weirdly codependent found family) but. they all kind come around to him! (will post extended oc universe lore someday on god)

Do they prefer verbal or physical affection?

i think they both are kinda stupid abt feelings and prefer physical affection, as sometimes its easier to manage than like, pouring your heart out. aaron is big on words of affirmation tho, once they r more comfy in their relationship/roman is more comfortable w receiving stuff like that.

Who remembers the little things?

aaron is def a romantic, he's big on anniversaries, quick to pick up little things like roman's coffee order, his favorite snacks, etc. roman is a little rusty but is surprisingly sensitive when he cares about someone. he's super in to aaron, so he makes sure to note all of aarons favorite movies and albums (so he can bring them up later and Totally sound like he knows what he's talking about).

[also they r a beautiful ocd (aaron) x adhd (roman) couple so in general aaron is Incredibly on top of things (or else he might die, who knows!) while roman is a fockin mess with remembering shit.]

Who kills the bugs in the house?

the real answer is gustav. he eats them. aaron will hold the cat up and he will take care of business.

oughh peoples weird takes have shifted from my girl to ur guy i see 😭😭 i am so normal about bad takes i promise

in the masses' defense!! i understand where a lot of grant takes come from. hes been a bad father, he has a lot of improvements he has to make, and i think its really cool that matt is doing a plot line rn where linc is cutting his dad off. thats awesome! like, genuinely, i love it. it hurts my feelings a lot as a Wilson Enjoyer(tm) but i think it makes so much sense story-wise and im really enjoying seeing where the plot is going with it!

however i just think its really fucking weird of some fans to imply that mentally ill people arent allowed to have kids or try to love other people when they dont love themselves! maybe im just projecting though </3 i like to think that most people are just wording their takes poorly, or that theyre being dramatic, and i can recognize that i can be really overly sensitive about characters with intrusive thoughts/low emotions. i project onto them too much! i get it! but like, i dunno

i relate a lot to grant and while i dont want kids, i do crave connection with people despite my more... asocial aspects lol. i only recently have gotten to a point where i let myself have community instead of isolating myself for my constant intrusive thoughts, low emotions, lack of empathy, etc. so it just kind of sucks to have this turn in the story that have people acting as if grant is the worst for thinking that maybe he could love a son and have a family. definitely similar vibes to sparrow where people are like "he only had a kid for daddy magic!", which is a take i dislike for ALL of the kiddads but that i can start to understand-- but then also just genuinely, there are people seeming to say "you shouldnt have kids if youre mentally ill" which... no? no. like. i recognize the idea that you shouldnt have kids if you cant even take care of youself, but all evidence points to that grant was capable of having a kid when linc was adopted. linc was socialized well as a young kid, he had friends his age, he visited his grandparents, etc. it was only later that grant's mental health took a downturn again and i think thats fair when everything going on with the doodler/code purple was going on. by no means is grant a good dad. but i think its really harsh and verging on ableism to imply that his mental health makes him incapable of being a dad at any point in his life.

but i dunno!! thats just my thoughts!! lol <3

sparrow is always going to be taking the brunt of weird takes though, i think o7 she truly is taking on the worst of the worst. godspeed to my beautiful weirdgirl

[eirian]

not to be that guy again

but i also dont fuck with anybody who talks about "anti culture" or anything like that when it comes to how shit's portrayed in fiction. i super try to stay out of "proship vs anti" discourse bc its stupid as shit and i have other things to worry about than internet discourse. but i still cant help but express my beliefs which relate to the core argument

dont make me tap the sign. fictional exploration of pedophilia/incest/abuse/etc at all isnt the problem, its the way its portrayed. if youre out here portraying that shit as bad and inexcusable, then youre fine. if youre exploring it in a way that doesnt defend it, then youre fine. if youre out here saying that a 40 year old man getting it on with a 14 year old is cute or sexy, or that two brothers having a sloppy makeout is hot, then yeah im going to burn your house down with you in it

the thing about the "what about fictional murder??? ppl romanticize that all the time and you dont see people turning into murderers irl!" argument is that. well. people dont groom people with murder fics. ppl dont show others art of their favs getting murdered and then try to use that to justify them murdering someone. that just doesnt happen. what Does happen is that ppl use incest/pedophilic ships and art portraying it in a "cute" or "fun" light and they use that to justify their grooming actions. that does happen. ive Seen it happen.

and no, im not saying that getting rid of this depiction of these subjects in media or fanworks is going to Stop All Grooming. thats silly. i know that if theyre going to groom someone theyre going to find a way to do it anyway, im not an idiot. but all im saying is that this shit makes it easier, makes it more accessible, and may even make it more normalized, which i hope you can agree is a bad thing.

exploration is one thing! lots of gothic media has "problematic" shit like that in it. lots of fiction has gross shit that the author doesnt condone irl, theyre just exploring it through writing. however, romanticization is another thing. portraying it as cute and fun is another thing. trying to excuse it by saying its fiction is another thing. thats when you ascend to freak status in my book.

youre not ~making a statement~ by declaring yourself a Proud Proshipper--at least not the one you think you are. youre giving me the signal that you dont care about how certain subjects are portrayed even if theyre harmful, and youre telling me that i should stay far the fuck away from you.

last thing i'll say on this is that for the record i am also against purity culture. i dont think ppl should be watering down media to be Acceptable and Pure all the goddamn time. i dont think ppl should stay away from "problematic" media entirely as long as they can use their brains and be critical and not excuse or defend said problematic content. everything is problematic bitch lets get you some fruit. yknow? theres nuance and context to everything; things arent black and white. trying to take the problems out of everything is a waste of effort and frankly makes everything boring as shit. having said all this, the way things are portrayed and how you interact with them are still important factors and i will stand by that

aight rant over o7

[cuntstable]

idk if anyone has a grudge against you but i entered a discord server today and found out that someone hates my guts for reasons even they could not discern. awkward.

HUH….. i feel like relations in online communities are sometimes literally 1 to 1 w the type of shit kids in elementary school get up. like you just decide to hate someone over shit thats so pointless you forget it….….. anyways good luck w that o7 i cant imagine finding out on a discord server of all places!!!!

rs archive 12/17/2023:

re: all my love fic. did you have any "keywords" for each character? (aka "stars, gardens" for wooje, "safety, unchanging" for hyunjoon) if you did, could you share them, or any of the threads of inspiration you kept in mind while writing?

i never had like, specific keywords at least not like i was aware of it but now that i think about it... i had a loT of inspiration.

like hyunjoon for example, obviously the mustang is a big part point but i chose that because mustangs just resonated with the character and what they sort of "stand for" i mean theyre a ford. all americana, freedom, romance, like.. mustangs have a sort of vibe to them. the same vibe john cougar mellencamp has. also, flannels, the vibe there. a key word for him, i guess would be consistent, and supportive. also--the moon, subtlety, steadiness.

wooje i connected to really fast blowing wind and highways; oddly enough that one scene in chapter one--where he pulls over on the shoulder of the i-5 and throws up--is a key part of his character. lmao? like, when i think of him, i think of that. the cold air and the strong fucking wind blowing past bc of all the cars going >80 mph. idk how to describe that. a big part of him was how light he was compared to everything around him too--his pale white skin in comparison to the dark discolored cigarette burns, his gold california soul compared to the darker washington greens. i relate him to the sky a lot. although i do put a lot of evening scenes in i think hes actually a creature of daylight. not of the sun, but the light blue sky and denim jackets and i never made him wear a denim jacket did i? goddamn it. so for him, light (as in the shade adjective not as in the type light noun), and sky, and nature. a lot of him is connected to nature, u can tell from my metaphors lmao.

minseok is all powdered sugar and CARDIGANS (!!) i imagine he had a very all over the place but chic and cute fashion sense. hes all candy colors and dependability (like mentioned in chap 1, he used to have pink hair hehe) he was stability, and home. really homey. like bring in the fucking xenia and agape (love in hospitality and in altruism). i think minseok, especially, is capital l Love. thats partly why i made him say the fic name in the letter heh. he was one of if not the strongest tie wooje had to home (platonic relationships matter..!!) he is Love as a person.

sanghyeok is red roses and Father. he is older brother. in the flashbacks, u can see he shows reluctance at being called hyunjoon/minhyungs brother, esp at first, and he STILL kind of feels that. hes uncomfortable with the position hes put in, much more than seongwoong is, yet he fits it so, so well. more associations: math. whiskey, cigarettes, bad habits he knows he should quit but cant. sanghyeok as a character is... well i dont wanna dive TOO deep bc i have a solo fic for him in the drafts but yes o7

seongwoong i mostly thought about him in relation to the shop? like i think of him and i think, traditional husband. oil, cars, gears, whatever the fuck. mechanic. stability, dad jokes. cool uncle. but he also has a softer side- homemaker! baker! gardener. hes all constant smiles, glasses held up by his smiling cheeks.

minhyung is the grounded one. he is very, very grounded in reality, but he become very silly around minseok. hes big loving himbo but hes also.. the most serious of them all. idk. hes like, prime older brother material but hes low on the totem pole. so like the oldest of that small group of cousins at the family get together who has no REAL power within the family. just within the cousins. and, hell, they get pulled away once their parents call for them.

jojo: mayonnaise.

[beardedhandstoadshark]

Started playing Fe6 after finishing 7 after only playing Fates and FeH before

Ch1

I‘m sorry why is Roy still a baby. I thought FeH was just weird about its art for him like it with Rebecca but no that is a child. A baby boy

OLD MAN

OLD MAN WITH A BEARD

"Even Eliwood can’t beat an illness“ ah crap they’re both gonna die. Dammit old man you were supposed to survive for Hector ;-;

Is that the fucking Merchant guy of all people

Is that a baby Wil. Wil Jr. They even have the same hair style

OLD MAN WITH GREY HAIR

and the continues to be a power house, heck yea! …Oh crap what if this game doesn’t have a Hector-like too. I‘m gonna be screwed

There is something profoundly sad about the fact that even though this game came first, you can just tell Roy is less experienced than his dad was by how they wield their blades. Man ;-;

"I’m still alive, see?“ OLD MAN I SWEAR-

Ch2

Huh. The weird sign behind the chapter name looks different this time round. Wonder if that’s got significance

Merlinus: "Roy we can’t meddle with Bern stuff“ (your dad‘s weird ass tactician kept using me as canon fodder last time we fought them, I can’t do this again ;-;)

Ok ik FE‘s characters are more like roles in a theater than anything, esp. with these 2 being pre/sequel, but was EVERY character in 7 someone’s parent all along :O

Oh Hi Guinivere. How was the childhood with your bro. Mhm. Great. Yea. Really. COOL.

Or Narshen is ABSOLUTELY related to that crazy Wyvern Rider lady. If the look didn’t say it then the hair color speaks for itself.

Ch3

ALREADY!?

DONT DO THIS TO ME GAME

I JUST GOT TO SEE DADTOR YOU CANT TAKE HIM FROM ME SO EARLY

Damn he fought 2 of them huh. That‘s my max level promoted mvp for ya…

If Idunn looks like Fergal or his Morphs I will delete my save file

Baby Mathew…? And Baby Nino that kid is absolutely a Nino Jr. Welcome to the team! They look even younger than Roy why is half this army made up of literal children

NO NO SHUT UP HECTOR CMON MAN ;-;

Rip King o7 Ngl they are actually so evil. I‘m looking at this and it’s very clear he was just supposed to be fridged angst fuel for Lilina, and then they drop fe7 and give this man a personality and friends and bonds and his A Support with Eliwood is them promising to survive, that they won’t die, not here, not at the hands of Bern, all while knowing that he was always going to

Honestly A+ to Fe7 for taking what 6 gave them and working so well with it

Ch4

Oh hey I know this map!

Aaaand half the party is useless here again too rip

Edgelord guy: keeps killing everyone.

Me: make it so he’s forced to target Marcus and I can finally recruit him. It works

Marcus: fucking obliterates him

Like damn old man chill out a bit
