More Chimeriad hc ideas: if they went to one of those community center kind of events with different arts and crafts (probably in Elympios? but could be in Rieze Maxia too), what do you think each of them would be good at/would they have the most fun with? What music would each of them like best? (and who if any would be the type to get caught up and starting singing along or dancing if by themselves). Lastly, if there was an equivalent to DnD, who would narrate, and what roles would they pick?

Auj Oule has a lot of festival based on spirit worship (or just for the fun of having a festival), often with food, music, dances and games. There isn’t really an official one – each region and tribe have their own traditions.

Gaius always makes it a point to participate in whatever is going on in the places he visits, partly to be seen more favorably by the population, and partly because it’s just fun and he loves community event. Of course the capital has its own festivals and events, and he always attends at least one of them (depending on what his schedule allows).

That’s one thing where Wingul lets loose a little in public. Dances and songs appeal to his artist side, and he knows how effective active participation is in raising population satisfaction with their ruler. So he doesn’t hesitate to be part of the spectacle, and encourages Gaius and the rest of the Chimeriad to be part of it at least for a little bit.

Jiao likes the atmosphere and the food, but is a bit self-conscious about dancing, because he’s afraid to knock into people. He’s a pro at bon-odori though (which I’m imagining as a Kitarl festival that’s spread to other regions). He can’t sing, though, and playing instruments is not his forte either. He’s in charge of wyvern air show, though.

Presa finds festivals a bit tiring, but she wouldn’t miss an opportunity to see Wingul’s participation. And he sometimes ropes her into dancing with him. She prefers holding food stalls, though.

Agria’s more into the games and competitions and anything where she can let out energy (or show off fire artes), especially if she can destroy stuff. She’s inherited her mother’s singing voice, but you’d have to both bribe and blackmail her to get her to sing in public. Give her a drum and she’s happy, though.

Even when they’re not performing, they’re part of the organization council of at least half of Kanbalar’s festivals.

When they go to Elympios, Gaius insists they check out those so-called “community centers” to get a better feel of Elympion culture.

It’s a lot quieter than festivals, which makes Presa more open to the idea. She somehow becomes knitting buddies with the center’s grandmas, who are all trying to bury her in hand-knitted jumpers and scarves because they think she must be cold showing so much skin (when she points out that Gaius is dressed even more lightly for the season (she at least has a coat for outside), they all turn their efforts on him).

Jiao enjoys Elympion cooking classes and taking care of the community garden (sharing precious Rieze Maxian tips on how to best grow vegetables).

Agria gets bored easily (which is dangerous), but fortunately she meets some girls her age who are into new music genres like “rock” and “metal” and she finds it to her taste. They’re kind of waging war against the grandmas, who’re always trying to get them to lower the volume of “that awful noise.”

Wingul ends up teaching Rieze Maxian calligraphy to a few of the older members. He also gains favor with Agria’s friends when he can reproduce their dance moves just by observing them a few times. They end up forming a band (think Babymetal lol) and hire him as their lyrics writer (Gaius is keeping an eye on the kind of lyrics he’s having the girls sing). He’s also coming up with ideas to promote the community center and improve their accounting, because of course he is.

Gaius tries his hand at a bit of everything that doesn’t involve technology and is quickly on first name basis with most of the members. Due to his neutral position, he’s often chosen to arbitrate the music war. He somehow gets some sort of a following from local punks when he wins the center’s martial arts competition (but what sealed the deal was getting them free tickets to Agria’s band’s show).

I’m not familiar enough with DnD to answer the role thing, but the narrator would be Wingul, who’d get very aggravated that no one is following his script properly.

Vyra, if you're still taking the "rating white haired characters" asks, I feel very strongly that you would be interested in Duke Pantarei from Tales of Vesperia.

Only 3? just kidding; I associate you with Nagasone, Iwatooshi, Nihongou, and Zaveid (yeah that's 4 but I couldn't exclude any of them hdjfshf) I'd say Malik too especially recently.

Hope you're feeling much better soon! please make sure to get as much rest as possible and take care ok? 

Thank you! ;-; I’m taking care of myself, don’t worry! I’ve been resting a lot and drink a lot of water, and I always have my cuddly cats around to keep me company because they are the best! :D Hopefully I’ll be healthy again soon!

I hope you’re taking care of yourself as well! ;~;

Yu-Gi-Oh! for the ask prompt?

The first character I first fell in love with:

JOUNOUCHI. Well, my first introduction to YGO was through the anime dub, so I knew him as Joey back then, but it doesn’t matter. He is the once and future fave for this series. ♥

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:

Mmmmm, I’m not sure. Maybe Yuugi? I wasn’t super hyped about him when I was a kid, but I absolutely, positively adore him now. He’s the once and future King of Games. ♥

The character everyone else loves that I don’t:

Mmm, maybe the Spirit of the Ring? I do like him as an antagonist / villain, but I’m not as interested in him as some sections of the fandom are. The same goes for Kaiba, actually. I like manga!Kaiba, and I think that he’s an interesting character, but I don’t like the anime’s Kaiba Seto Power Hour circlejerk, nor do I think he’s as amazing as the vast majority of the fandom does. And as a final entry to this, potentially Atem, because again: I like manga!Atem, and I think he’s a good character, but the way he constantly overshadows Yuugi in both the anime and fandom annoys me.

The character I love that everyone else hates:

Probably Hirutani, lmao. I mean, don’t get me wrong, he’s a horrid person, but I absolutely love writing him and I really enjoy his enmity with Jounouchi. It’s just so much fun. Plus, I’ve put a lot of work into rounding him out, so … that helps boost my affections toward him as well, haha. That said, I guess it might be less that people hate him and more that people just don’t care about him because he’s such a minor character in canon, so … hmm. I don’t know! Though, with the way the majority of this fandom (and especially the anime team) treats him, I guess Jounouchi could sadly qualify. He deserves better.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer:

Perhaps strangely to some, but Kaiba qualifies here. I really liked him as a kid (even though I was obviously always aggravated whenever he treated Jounouchi poorly), particularly because he was snarky and the anime made it seem like he wasn’t really a petty asshole, but that he had a heart of gold underneath it all. But now that I’m older and have read the manga all the way through, I’m just really not interested in him.

The character I would totally smooch:

I would kiss Jounouchi on the cheek for sure.

The character I’d want to be like:

I could stand to have more dedication and focus on my dream like Anzu does on hers, tbh.

The character I’d slap:

Honestly? Mai. Because while there are certainly other characters who have far more heinous deeds to their names, Mai—a grown woman—felt it appropriate to smack a teenage boy hard enough to knock him to the ground when he was having an emotional breakdown over nearly dying + his best friend nearly dying because of him (in his perception), and then explained her reasoning as her perceiving that he had “lost his manhood”. Never mind that he comes from an abusive home, that he has struggled with toxic masculinity for a long time, or that, you know, he was freaking out because both he and Yuugi both almost just died and he perceived that to be his fault, which is a perfectly justifiable reason for having an emotional breakdown. Nah, Mai—who, I reiterate, is a grown ass adult—felt it appropriate to smack that teenage boy across the face and then berate him for not being manly. Well, okay. Okay. Fine. If Mai feels that’s appropriate, fine. But as someone who is also a grown woman, I would smack her right back, with just as much force as she used against Jounouchi. She wants to smack a teenager? Fine. But that opens her up to get her teeth knocked out right back, because adults don’t hit kids in front of me and get away with it—and yes, to me, a teenager is a kid.

(And to make it clear: I do like Mai, and I’m not hating on her. But what she did there was unacceptable, and had I been there, it would have been a fight, on the spot, no questions asked. You don’t hit kids in front of me, especially not when they’re having a very understandable emotional breakdown after a near-death experience, and you especially don’t sit there and berate a boy for showing emotions like that. You do not. We would have engaged in fisticuffs and I would not have given her warning about it, either. No questions asked, only fists swung, straight up.)

A pairing that I love:

JOUNOUCHI/YUUGI. ♥♥♥ It’s the only ship I’m passionate about in this series and it remains my OTP of OTPs across all fandoms. I’m always here for it. ♥

^The Ninth Doctor talking about Jounouchi/Yuugi. It’s true.

A pairing that I despise:

Jounouchi/Mai is my most hated, not only because there’s so much in canon to show why they are a horrible match for each other (the slapping incident aside, there are many other instances that show exactly why they’d be a disaster), and the romantic ship tease is pretty much nonexistent in the manga anyway and was created by the anime team, because apparently they can’t have two teenage boys developing romantic feelings for each other and so had numerous instances of removing Jounouchi/Yuugi moments (or creating filler episodes to directly downplay / counter Jounouchi/Yuugi moments, such as the filler episode they created following the pier duel), but having a grown woman courting a teenage boy is A-OK by their standards. Nice. [/heavy sarcasm] But on top of all those reasons for despising it, I’ve had one too many shippers of that ship jumping on my COMPLETELY UNRELATED posts (sometimes Jounouchi/Yuugi posts, one time a post about Jounouchi’s love for Shizuka) to derail them into talking about Jounouchi/Mai instead, and then the shippers get pissy when I either ask them to stop or make unrelated posts about why I dislike that ship (on my own blog, NOT TAGGED), so … bad ship + bad shippers = NOTP, basically.

That said, I also really hate Jounouchi/Kaiba because it’s not only OoC af in fandom, but it also romanticizes how absolutely terribly Kaiba treats Jounouchi (just look at that name) in canon, as well as makes it even worse for the sake of stereotyping, and just … ugh, it’s a complete mess. Jounouchi is treated so goddamn terribly in that ship, and since he’s my fave, I can’t stand it. However, I haven’t personally had too many bad interactions with the shippers (just one in recent times, but I blocked rather than get into a fight), so I tend to not hate it as vehemently as the above, even though I still do NOTP it.

I’m also re-heally not fond of Yuugi/Kaiba or Jounouchi/Atem, as I feel that both would be slaps in the face to Jounouchi and Yuugi respectively. (Because Kaiba is constantly degrading and putting Jounouchi down, so for Yuugi to “choose” Kaiba despite that would, I feel, be like driving a knife into Jounouchi’s already low self-esteem and insecurities and then pouring salt in after. Likewise, Yuugi views Atem as superior to him in every respect for a very long time, so for Jounouchi to “choose” Atem over Yuugi—and to ask Yuugi to switch sometimes!—would be extremely hurtful to Yuugi, because if even his best friend prefers Atem … ouch.) Additionally, Jounouchi/Atem especially is OoC for Jounouchi, since Jounouchi makes it clear at MULTIPLE points in canon that he prefers Yuugi over Atem, and he never wavers on this, but nonetheless. Either way, both of these are borderline NOTPs.

And lastly, any incest ships are obviously a no-no for me, but that should go without saying, heh.

it looks nice!

Aw, thanks! Hopefully, it’ll be much easier to navigate now that everything’s right there.

Chimeriad hc's for their choice of warm beverage (it's freezing here and all I can think of is Kanbalar and trying to stay cozy). Who decides to cook everyone a delicious hot stew? Who would walk around the castle with a blanket wrapped around them like a cloak? First to cave and start the cuddle pile bc it's cold? And lastly bc did I mention it's cold and I'm already thinking of Spring sdhjksf what do you hc their favourite flowers to be? Take care!

Haha it snowed here too, so keeping warm is a good topic.

Beverages:

Gaius: hot chocolate obvs

Wingul: tea or coffee

Jiao: hot milk

Presa: coffee

Agria: hot milk or hot chocolate

Jiao’s the one to cook them stuff. If Gaius wants a particular dish, he just asks the kitchen staff to make it. Though when they live in their apartment in Trigleph, they all have to learn to cook themselves (Gaius is banned from using kitchen appliances though, but he’s often on peeling duty instead).

Gaius’s the one taking his blanket with him, not that he needs it, but blankets are comfortable--until Wingul catches him and sends him back to dress properly, because “you’re the king ffs, you have to look the part.”

Agria and Presa cling to each other for warmth, and Jiao comes up and engulfes them in one of his gigantic coats. Wingul looks at them enviously but he has an image to maintain. Gaius just tells him to stop being so worried about appearances and pushes him into the pile, and joins them under Jiao’s coat as well. He’s like a human heater so they all end up clinging to him in the end.

Flowers:

Gaius: gladiolus, once he hears its meaning from Wingul

Wingul: wisteria; he had a tunnel like that in the Long Dau palace garden

Jiao: princessia; for some reason it reminds him of Elize

Presa: queen of the night

Agria: orchids

May spring come already!
