#hes my baby my beloved my. blorbo if i may say so

[ancientfawn]

i spent way too much time on this but a girl cant choose her hyperfixations

[coquelicoq]

murderbot for fandom asks?

oh good question.

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) it's gotta be murderbot itself! in fact if i had to pick a single blorbo as supreme blorbo across all fandoms, it would be murderbot probably at least 50% of the time.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) i mean probably three is the closest but it feels infantalizing to say that? i'm struggling with this definition, i think. but three is definitely my cherished beloved and i have certainly clutched my hands to my bosom when overcome by the great affection i feel for it, so i feel like that should count.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) VOLESCUUUUU!! smartest member of a team of smartypantses is the one who goes "hmmm. i think i will retire actually" after almost getting eaten by hostile fauna/murdered by hostile corporates. he got some trauma and at the earliest opportunity fucked back off to his group marriage about it. aspirational.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) i don't know if i am quite that enthusiastic, but i do appreciate kaede, who's been in like two scenes and all i know about her is that she has no interest in dealing with ratthi and tarik's "sexual discussion". girl, same. i also like tural, who is an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of indah and mensah and secunit's little glare-off in the trans lateral corridor just standing there like 🥺 please may i do my job now 🥺

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) this is hard! i don't know that anyone really falls into poor little meow meow territory in the classic sense. in my opinion thiago did nothing wrong so i don't think he really counts, but in the spirit of picking an unpopular/controversial character who i actually like a lot, i guess he's my answer.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) i think it's kinda fun what a horrible day leonide is having in system collapse. like it is objectively a terrible time for her, she gets betrayed, she gets shot, but she's also experiencing such disorienting events as "weaponry says a swear" and "if it weren't bad enough that we're in a high-speed chase running from the people who betrayed me, someone in the backseat is watching a soap opera and they forgot their fucking headphones". i'm picturing a reality show where interspersed with stressful action scenes we keep cutting to the talking head she recorded about it after the fact and she's just staring into the camera dead-eyed not saying anything.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) whichever clients on past contracts made murderbot fight other secunits for their entertainment. fuck that extremely.

[needle-noggins]

For the ask game: as many or few of individuals in Mashwood as you'd like, Legato and LivioRazlo, please!

Rainy hi rainy hiiii <3 muah, i missed you!

How dare you make me pick favorites in Mashwood.

Prompt:

How I feel about this character

All the people I ship romantically with this character

My non-romantic OTP for this character

My unpopular opinion about this character

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Vash:

my beloved boy. blorbo of all time, when all else fades away, there is always Vash.

Meryl, Wolfwood, both of them, + milly if she's present... occasionally postcanon LR, but it's more "we bonded through mutual trauma and i like to kiss the homies goodnight"

non-romantic? Honestly, Milly. They just get along like a house on fire. Non-romantic Vashwood is also just so good.

unpopular opinion? depends on what circles you run in, but I reject the opinion that he's a soft little submissive pillow princess. Y'all remember how angry he can get? That plant can fuck, or at least switch things up a lot. The genital situation is irrelevant to this.

I would like him to smooch Meryl or Wolfwood. I'm a simple woman.

Meryl:

idk, read Bluebells and you tell me how i feel about her

VASH and/or Wolfwood <3

Milly is my non-romantic ship for her

unpopular opinion: she's actually really fucking stupid. I say this with all the love in my heart. She's a bitch and runs her mouth, and may have a ton of academic knowledge, but 0 common sense. "Let me yell into this megaphone so they can't misunderstand me!" Girl help! <3

Can we explore her trauma further please please pleaseeee

Wolfwood:

baby boy. baby. my son. also my husband, my babygirl. i've cried in public about this man.

vash or meryl... and does AU tesla or my OC fanny count?

LR <3

he's not cool or suave at all - he's ten trauma responses in an oversized suit trying so hard to hide in a hard world. also probably cries during sex, if anyone can peel off the layers of trauma to get him in bed (good luck).

let him kiss vash and know his death isn't in vain please

Legato:

beloved and behated <3 stinkbug i'd like to study under a microscope.

Knives.. love me some fucked up or tender millionsummers

non-romantic OTP? I guess it's not romantic but it's really fun to imagine the toxic coworker situationship he could have with Elendira.

i think people tend to misunderstand how Legato feels about humanity and how he's not... well, i don't think he's had time to heal from his trauma to know he can say no. He may think he's freed but he really just hopped from one controlling environment to another. He's lost in the sauce the whole time. Legato has no concept of consent and he revels in the power he can wield over other people.

no notes, but for stampede i want to see him use his powers on people to hammer home my point above

LR:

BABY BOYYYSSSSS protect them at ALL COSTS, FUCK!!!

Milly or Elendira. I know, two wildly different OTP vibes.

Vash I guess for non-romantic? And Wolfwood.

thankfully i don't see much of this so i don't think it's popular necessarily but if i ever see anyone talking about razlo being the "aggressive" one or something i'm going to commit a crime for the sake of DID people everywhere. He's livio's protector, not some violence-hungry monster. I really hope this isn't an opinion shared widely in fandom circles i'm not privy to.

I want the boys to be happy in the end, ideally with someone to love them <3 not asking for much here, i just want them to be cared for!

[makeste]

Just out of pure curiosity, isn't this a horrible way to experience the story lmao?

I'm not saying it's for everyone, but it's worked for me personally so far. more than I would have expected, tbh!

honestly though, this might sound kind of backwards, but a big part of my decision to read these chapters early had more to do with me NOT wanting to be spoiled. let me explain.

I went on hiatus from the BnHA manga beginning in January 2022. I remained completely spoiler-free for almost eight whole months without the slightest issue. then August happened. :')

the thing is, despite my taking a break from the manga, I didn't stop reading fanfiction. in fact I probably read more fic than I usually do, because I missed the series and the characters. it may sound odd that I had the time to read fic but couldn't use that same time to catch up with the manga instead, but they're very different things as far as mental load and time commitment. one is very passive, almost relaxed, while the other requires me to be quick-witted and mentally engaged (at least if I want to do a halfway decent job). something which I wasn't really capable of being at the time. so yeah.

anyway so at the time I generally thought of fanfic as a relatively safe activity, spoiler-wise. and to be fair it was. right up until the single most popular character in the series fucking DIED in the most grisly way possible while fighting the main villain, right in the middle of everyone's fucking summer break. after which pretty much the entirety of fandom erupted into "BAKUGOU DIED??!" and "HE DIED THINKING ABOUT IZUKU??!" and "BABY BOY WANTED ALL MIGHT TO SIGN HIS TRADING CARD?!?!" and "RAIN!?!?" etc. etc. pretty much 24/7 on all social platforms for weeks on end.

so what I learned from that experience is that no matter how good you are at dodging spoilers, it is literally impossible to do so when something THAT momentous and life-altering happens your favorite character who also happens to be fandom's most beloved blorbo. hell, I didn't even get spoiled on AO3 initially; they got me over on YouTube of all places. literally nothing I could do to prevent it. and after that, no matter how meticulously I avoided all of the fics tagged with "362: Light Fades to Rain spoilers", I still kept getting caught off guard because people would casually drop spoilers into untagged fics as well. so I had a bunch of additional little details spoiled for me unexpectedly and I was pretty much defenseless against it. pretty much the only way I could have avoided it all would have been to stop reading Kacchan whump entirely. which, idk about you, but to me that would have been a far more horrible fate. :p

anyway so fast forward to last month, and Kacchan finally came back, and you bet your ass I spoiled myself for it immediately. because I knew it would still take me forever to get caught up The Right Way, and in the meantime I would once again be leaving myself at the mercy of the internet. at least this way I have control over where and when and how I find out. and I got to experience the moment via the manga itself, rather than a third party. and I have to say, this way was vastly preferable to the alternative.

and at the end of the day that's pretty much the same rationale I had for giving in and reading 404 - 406 as well. I knew that once Kacchan was back, the pace of the Final Battle was going to start picking up, and things were going to start happening, and I'd rather read all of those things for myself! like just for example, there's close to a 100% chance the "Kacchan" line from this week would have been spoiled for me in someone's fic if I hadn't read 406 beforehand. just little things like that. anyway so this way, no matter what happens to Kacchan and Deku from this point forward, I'll get to read it fresh and experience it in a way that I unfortunately never got to with the chapter 362 moment. and so to me, that's more than worth the trade-off.

🍕 ❤️ 💚 🧠 for tatya my beloved and one more that’s currently in your brain microwave

I've got so many blorbos in my brain microwave now that I'm back to writing AOM but have Cady too:

🍕 - What is their favorite food?

Tatya likes cornbread, but specifically the recipe her family makes (savory, has a variety of chopped up things in it) and specifically the one piece from the very middle of the cornbread because it has no side-of-the-pan sides AND it's sometimes just slightly undercooked.

This may not be his Favorite but there is a mashed-sweet-potato-like food at the commissary on Speekal that Cady loves. Most of the Isonus people there say it tastes like baby food. He doesn't care - it's awesome and he will miss it when he goes home.

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

Tatya hasn't seen her sister in a long time but it was really nice last time she did, although her sister is so garbage at space Mario Kart it's embarrassing.

Cady has a lot of memory issues but he has never forgotten the day he met Declan. He was at a friend's wedding with no plus one, and he noticed this guy because he had a bunch of piercings. Said guy also seemed to be alone, so Cady casually took his drink and slid into a chair at this guy's table to strike up a conversation, and truth be told it was awkward as hell at first but he was so into this guy he was determined to make it work. He doesn't remember how he made it work. Something about talking about his bike. But he got that guy to go on a date with him the next day, and married him two years later.

💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?

Tatya is a genderfuck trans woman, which for her is all one identity. She'd describe it in more detail as always being a (butch) woman but also being other genders if it's relevant (see: her hooking up with Fabian, who is gay and pretty straight laced about it). There's also an element of presentation to it: she's very happy with her beard-and-boobs look, for example. As for sexuality, she's bi but with a massive preference for women (not for any "men suck" reasons she just really likes women and especially other trans women).

Cady is a trans guy who is non-op aside from getting a hysterectomy. He has however been on T for a couple decades and has come out of it extra hairy. He's also gay but (unlike Fabian) not stringent about that - his gender might be set in stone, but as he sees it, every attraction he has is just inherently gay. He is not shy about being attracted to butch women.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

Tatya is not a self-insert but she has a weird gender and is a huge simp for Isabel; ME TOO.

Cady is just so full of chaos which is great. He is also kinda tragic and I like that too in an "excuse me I have to cry about it" way.

Nicea taglist: @kahvilahuhut @kk7-rbs @outpost51 @writernopal @athenswrites

[msperfectsheep-posts]

Okay Note here. CHARACTER ASK. i7 Torao, Haruka, and Nagi. Ouran High School Haruhi. Batman Jason. Anyone in persona you must talk about (I don't know anyone there). Did I miss someone? (You don't have to do all. I am mereky curious)

THANK YOU NOTE!!! I'm gonna put all of these beneath a cut just so I don't clog up people's dashes <3

Torao Mido: (IDOLiSH7)

Torao is the kind of character where you're like "literally why is he in the main cast when everyone else is a banger" and then you realize that his arc is just 4-5/6ths of the way into the story and you go Oh. Oh. I get it now. That's him. That said, I want to blast him with a fire hose.

Haruka Isumi: (IDOLiSH7)

Haruka was my discord pfp for several months and I think that says a lot already. I love him so much, he's like. so bulliable and he should be bullied. Dramatic ass teenager baby that dresses like an e-boy. I love him so much and every time he bleps (:P) in official art I want to Die. Prime blorbo material.

Nagi Rokuya: (IDOLiSH7)

I'll admit outright that, as someone who had Ouran High School Host Club change my brain chemistry forever when I was a child, and with i7 having a main character named Tamaki, I CONSTANTLY called Nagi "Tamaki" during the first season just because he was the silly blond weeb guy!! I was like holy shit there's two of them. And then I got to parts 3 and 4 and I was like Oh Holy Shit they're even more similar than I thought :'). Nagi is a BELOVED character of mine but it took a moment for me to grow into loving his character. I wish I saw more fan content of him because he fucking rocks, but he's also just on a different plane from a lot of the more popular characters and I get it. I love how everyone respects him as they should though. My king forever and ever.

Haruhi Fujioka: (Ouran High School Host Club)

SPEAKING OF OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB. Haruhi's arc in the anime and manga is a little different, and obviously the anime wasn't supposed to end where it did, but with the changes the director and writers made, I truly believe that it would be impossible for the animeverse to end the same way the mangaverse did. Anyways Haruhi is a really funny character because she's supposed to be the straightman in a lot of the jokes, but she's just as dramatic and silly as everyone else. And it's great. 10/10 protagonist, every time I think of her I think of that tumblr post about her with the big brown eyes and I go Yeah. yeah.

Jason Todd: (DC Comics; Batman)

(If you can't read that square, it says "SCOTT LOBDELL")

Jason was NOT my favorite DC character or even Robin for a long, long time. I only really got into his character when I started working on my fic, Beyond Imagination, and had to start analyzing what a younger Jason was like and how he would interact with the world in a modern day and age. All of the Batman characters get flanderized and mischaracterized by fanon and canon a lot, so it's hard to figure out what was generally agreed upon as canon unless you read yourself, but Jason's got a strong story and personality that really shined with his resurrection. I'd say it's one of the best uses of reviving a character thought to be dead, and every time I think about his death and like. both the in-universe and real life events that lead up to it, I get emotional. Great character that makes me deeply ill to think of from a meta-perspective.

Maya Amano: (Persona 2 Innocent Sin & Persona 2 Eternal Punishment)

Okay so. You may have noticed I tagged two Persona games for her and that's because, spoilers for Persona 2, the first Persona 2 (Innocent Sin) is a timeline that fails. The game with you resetting the timeline because you fucked up that badly, and the second Persona 2 (Eternal Punishment) is your second shot and doing things over. HOWEVER. Maya changes with the timelines because she was doomed to die with how things were set up in Innocent Sin, and fixing that to give the timeline a shot in Eternal Punishment changes her as a character. This bingo is more about Innocent Sin Maya, who is a 23 year old girlfailure reporter that makes me Deeply Deeply Ill. If you're ever curious, you can send me an ask and I'll talk about her more in depth because Persona 2 isn't the easiest game to play

Thank you for the ask!!!

10 fandoms/10 characters/10 tags

FUCK YEAH LET'S GO BLORBO LOVING HOURS

Tagged by the amazing @sans--seraph and @verminetroglodyte

Loki from MCU He is single-handedly responsible for my descent into madness with the MCU. None of my friends could get me to watch a single movie until the bestie one day said, "Hey you should come watch Thor with us, there's a character we think you'd like" and it was OVER after that.

The Corinthian from Sandman A lot of people probably think my favorite character must be Dream or Hob because of my ship but nope, it's The Corinthian. My beloved serial killing, eyeball eating, just needs a hug and some validation baby, I love you so. Also, it helps that he'd played by Boyd Holbrook, who I was OBSESSED with as a teen when he was a twinky model lmao.

Hawks from My Hero Academia I know Hawks is a pretty polarizing character in the fandom, and I think that's part of the reason why I love him so so much. He's technically one of the "good guys" as a hero yes, but he has done so many questionably things in the name of corrupt hero society. He's the type of character I'm not sure I'd like if he were a real person, but I think that's part of what makes him so interesting. Absolute sweetheart on the outside, but will gut you like a fish if he thinks it's for the greater good.

Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh MY OG BLORBO I LOVE YOU SO 💖💖💖 What else is there to say about this iconic boy? He's a dick. He's rich, screw the rules he has money. He's a meme. He is absolutely over the top and tries to insist he has no friends but he's been adopted by the heroes as a bestie. Love him forever.

Sara Lance from DCTV/Arrowverse I've GOTTA include my White Canary queen because she was my bisexual awakening. I had always known I had some attraction to women, and even had gone by pan for a little bit, but lord my attraction to women came alive with Sara. I may not longer care for Arrowverse, but Sara Lance will always have a special place in my heart.

Hiccup Haddock from How to Train Your Dragon Hiccup holds a special place in my heart for bucking the trend on traditional protagonists. He's a little weakling. People underestimate him. He doesn't always get things right! But he loves fiercely, he's determined, he's smart, and he believes the best in everyone. One of my favorite blorbos ever.

Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist Smarmy bastard with a heart of gold. He will go the distance to protect those he loves, and he's not afraid to burn people to a crisp to do it. He knows his weaknesses and tries to push past them anyways if he needs to protect someone he loves. Best boy, I love him so.

Harley Quinn from DC Comics Another important character in my bisexual development ahahha. I know Harley's kind of over saturated the market as a Strong Female Character but she's still so important to me for so many reasons. She came out on the other side of an abusive relationship. She's funny, she's silly, she loves life, no matter how many wrenches get thrown at her, literally and figuratively. And her relationship with Pam is SO IMPORTANT to me ahhhhhhhhh.

Jyn Erso from Rogue One Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love her. She's a grump. She's a survivor. She's a tragic figure drawn into a war she never asked to be a part of and she dies for a cause that never knowing how important her impact truly was. I have read a million fix-it fics and AUs of her and the whole Rogue One crew and still love her to this day.

Q from James Bond (Daniel Craig Movies) My nerdy baby. He's so smart and so awkward and so endearing it hurts. I love him so. He has two cats and a mortgage. Bond takes too much advantage of his goodwill and Q lets him because he's in love a good friend.

Top 5 Persona Users (you can include velvet attendants if you want)

ooh this is gonna be a hard one, but challenge accepted!!!

Only easy spot on this list. Aigis owns my whole heart. Her growing uncertainty towards her own burgeoning humanity is one of the best parts of one of my favorite games, and her intense resolve even in the face of emotional turmoil is... just... chef's kiss. Perfection. She's even bisexual. Icon. Also, her Persona evolving from Palladion, which was a wooden statue of Athena, into Athena... God. Just. Yeah.

The rest of this list will be tentatively ordered, but... Tatsuya Suou. Yeah. Just. God. Where do I even begin. He's the guy of all time. He has extremely traumatic childhood memories which he had to repress. Even though he was a kid, he awakened his Persona in an effort to protect his friends. If he gets with his BF in Eternal Punishment the world will end. (He was even bisexual. Icon.)

Akihiko Sanada. My blorbo, my wet cat, my little scrunkly, my baby boy, my mans, my beloved. He gets to follow Tatsuya because they both had sisters die in a fire while they were unable to save them as kids and it fucked them both up. I love how earnest he is. I love how overly serious he is, to the point where it can be off-putting. I just love this man. And his wails at Shinji's memorial may have been a meme at one point but they actually brought tears to my eyes, so.

Naoto Shirogane. Not as much to say here. Trams Gander.

Ulala Serizawa. Her arc is fucking superb. I cannot get over it. The reveal that she set the Jokers on Maya... her locking herself away trying to protect Maya from her when she knows she'll turn into one, and yet the fact that she keeps going after that, stays with Maya and the rest of the party despite the fact that they all saw her at her lowest... God. The cringefail woman of all time.

Honorable mentions: Yukino from P1, Katsuya and Maya from P2, Shinjiro, Minato, and Kotone from P3, Kanji from P4, Yusuke and Futaba from P5.

[redbullgivesyouwingedkuriboh]

OH FUCK YEAH HERE WE GO MY BLORBOS

Atticus Rhodes/Fubuki Tenjoin

How I feel about them: (slams head into wall repeatedly, grabs them in my mouth and shakes them like a fuckin dog) DA BABY DA BLORBO GOD WHAT A GUY HE IS REALLY JUST A LITTLE GUY OMG in all seriousness Atticus is one of my faves and I love him so so much, I would also like to wrap him in a blanket and put him in a corner never to be hurt by the world again. love you atty

All romantic ships: CHAZZ #1. STORMSHIPPING MY BELOVED. NONBINARY STORMSHIPPING?! EVEN BETTER. also zanexatticus fucks severely, and I have been known to enjoy the poly O-Blues before (fujiwara deserves love too!!!!)

Non-romantic OTP: I love the friendship Atticus and Jaden have. I wish we’d gotten more of them, and I would have LOVED to see them duel post-volcano incident.

Unpopular opinion: he’s straight in the way Neil Patrick Harris plays Barney Stinson. (that’s not the unpopular part bear with me) by that I mean he expresses straightness very very well because of some internalized homophobia and it’s not until he really interacts with people at duel academy (aka Crowler) that he starts to get past that, but his shield is still VERY MUCH UP. especially after the Shadow Riders shit. he throws his walls back up after The Rescue tm, and the main wall he knows is I Am Straight Haha.

One thing I wish had happened: MORE ATTICUS AND ALEXIS SIBLING INTERACTIONS THANK YOU. also LET HIM WIN A DUEL FOR FUCKING ONCE PLEASE

Zane Truesdale/Ryo Marufuji

How I feel about them: (picks him up and puts him on a very high shelf where no one can reach) you’re an asshole but I love you and I would like to throw you across the room and also never let anyone touch you again you poor baby why did you treat your brother like that who hurt you I’ll kill them. also just a guy tm but man did the character development develop

All romantic ships: Mainly Atticus, but I am a sucker for some enemies to lovers with Aster hatesexhatesexhatesex I have a lot of feelings about them and how they grow around each other. I do think Zane is aspec, though (re: “I’m in love with dueling” is NOT a heteronormative thing to say)

Non-romantic OTP: I really wish we’d gotten more development of his and Syrus’s relationship. Toxic siblings to best friends is a favorite trope of mine, and I just. Zane and Syrus, ok. The anti-Kaibabros, and I just want them to be okay.

Unpopular opinion: he should have gotten WAY more flak from Alexis and Jaden about how he treated Syrus in S1/S2. honestly I think if Alexis had said two words to his ass during that whole Hell Kaiser arc he would’ve snapped the fuck outta it and cried for an hour. can I get a hallelujah for S3– while it may have traumatized the fuck outta the J boys, Zane fixed a lot of shit he broke.

One thing I wish had happened: someone should’ve punched him. Preferably Syrus or Alexis. Preferably during S2. oH AND: Season 4 should have gone a whole lot differently for Zane. I think him passing on the deck to Syrus was a great conclusion for Syrus, but not for Zane, and after S3 I wanted more Zane than I did Syrus. IMO, the ideal Zane conclusion would have been him dueling Syrus for the deck, losing, acknowledging Syrus as a duelist, and then going on WITH SYRUS to lead the Cyber Duel School and/or starting a charity to help down-on-their-luck duelists so they don’t have to go to the underground duel ring.

thank you for requesting atticus and zane I love them SO MUCH

not my creation but please send in any gx character :P

natsume's book of friends for the fandom ask

yay i was hoping someone would ask for natsume's book of friends <3

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) natori shuuichi my beloved cringe baby 23-year-old famous actor boy

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) wow i have had trouble with this one for basically every fandom. i don't experience a lot of cuteness aggression that's not cat-directed, and sensei doesn't count because he's actually an old man who keeps getting sloshed in a teenager's bedroom. baby natsume is extremely baby though. days eater arc 🥺🥺

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) hiiragi. you may say: does she really count as underappreciated, though? to which i would counter that you could appreciate her 20 times more than currently and it would never be enough for me.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) this is not going to be very convincing because i don't actually remember his name, but that one older teen whose family natsume stayed with who apologized to natsume when his mom didn't offer natsume a scarf.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) matoba seiji naturally. he's very powerful and ruthless and he's got that whole insouciant je ne sais quoi going on but that's what MAKES him pathetic!! very important part of the recipe.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) natori again but that almost feels like cheating because the man does it himself. his backup plan if a job went wrong was to set up a trap that would chop his head off. soo unhinged bestie <3

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) none of them! what do you take me for, an exorcist??

The Big Four’s Zodiac Sign+ My Headcanons

OKay so y'all have no idea who I am- because I made this account 2 years ago lol But, I work with like, astrology,, for purposes,,, IRL. Anyways, this boils down to ''I am familiar with astrology and here are my best guesses for our beloved blorbo group xoxo'

The dates are as official as they go, I'm using their fandom wikis or their creator's hints for the dates! AND I'm including their moon and rising signs for the heck of it. But all in all, this is just my headcanons, so like do what ye will of this—

Plus some alternative sign vibes

Rapunzel - Taurus (May 12) ♋+♌

Her character traits are spirited, smart, clever, kind, playful, and adventurous.

Tauruses are known to be Loyal, Hardworking and Generous. Traits that Rapunzel represents quite well. You might recognize her a little less in negative traits: Jealous, Materialistic and Selfish; However this is where our second sign comes in... I believe Rapunzel's moon sign would be Cancer: Making her negative and emotional traits go moreside along the lines of Pessimistic, Aggressive, Possessive. As far as first impressions go, you might mistake her for a Leo! She stays loyal to herself and comes off as a true romantic, her confidence is natural. Other signs that represent her: Aquarius & Pisces

Jack Frost - Sagittarius (November 22) ♏+♈

His character traits are fun-loving, lighthearted, high-spirited, rebellious, wise-cracking, and mischievous trickster.

Jack was confirmed by his creator to be a Sagittarius over Twitter some years ago. His main traits are Friendly, Optimistic and Reckless, he can also be immature or boastful. However, you'll find that his ambitious and sometimes Intense as well. I favour his moon would be Scorpio, a secretive and compulsive sign under it all. And the rising? Up to no surprise, Aries is the symbol of all hot-headed characters, even under his cool temper, Jack is Dynamic, warm and independent. All in all, the goof guy and local cool kid jack is a mix of water and fire signs, man really has got a sauna for a personality lol

Jack gets no other signs of choice cuz Sag is just perfect for him, it would make him likely a December baby so like rebirth or whatever I like the concept

Merida - Aquarius (February 12) ♈+♐

Her character traits are bold, brave, daring, courageous, stubborn, rebellious, and headstrong.

Logical, Social, and Rebellious: Those are the three main traits that encapsulate Merida. As an Aquarius, innovation is no news to her. She's the reason things change around her. Her moon is in Aries, along her fiery hair, she's got fiery spirits, so you might find her brash, impulsive or impatient. Under that though... there's more fire. At first glance, you might take her for a Sagittarius. Honest and friendly, and characteristically non-judgemnetal.p

Mer could also be Taurus or a Capricorn if you look at it in a very perched up angle?

Hiccup - Pisces (February 29) ♓️+♑️

His character traits are witty, sarcastic, well-spoken but shy, reserved, smart, kind, progressive, compassionate, empathy.

Hiccup's traits have evolved over the years (and movies) but to the core, Hiccup is a kind person who resonates real well with the sign of Pisces, a sign that represents the compassion, emotional presence and empathy of his personality. On other levels, we find more serious details in his character, those brought likely from a Capricorn moon. The sarcasm, pessimism and whatnot comes from that emotional inner moon. Oh finally, his rising sign is absolutely Virgo.

I think we can pin him down as Virgo or Taurus if not in Pisces, but that’s just me

Ngl imo the only one with a possible different sign is Raps but the others are pretty solid if I say so myself!

[angelizs]

Any thoughts on Floyd? I personally think he’s a lot more of a 3 dimensional character than the NRC students think he is! He’s ironically seen as the scariest out of the Octavinelle trio but in certain scenes like in Chapter 3 of the Anthology comic where he tries to reassure Riddle that he’s still a good person despite what he did while overblotted or in his dorm vignette where he makes trades with things clearly holding less value than what he currently has just because the other person seems to need it he seems much more thoughtful and kind. He can be a nice person but he always says he’s only doing it because he’s bored almost making it seem like he has a fear of showing kindness with others. Sorry for the ramble I just think he’s interesting personality wise

hii anon!! and oF COURSE I DO HE'S MY LITTLE SCRUNKLY MY DENTINHO DE TUBARÃO MY BELOVED BLORBO!!!

I agree anon, he definetly is! may I add to your examples: Floyd's labwear vignette, in which he helps Ace and Deuce to master the color changing spell! (it's very cute so if you haven't seen it yet, I suggest you take a look at it!)

NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE I LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS!!! feel free to send an ask anytime and ramble as much as you want!

since you asked for my thoughts, here they come:

same fair warning as the Idia post: this is my opinion and it might not be 100% right, anyone is allowed to disagree!

anon, you're so right, Floyd is such an interesting character! all of Octavinelle are, which is why I get the impression they have the most content in fandom, alongside other popular choices like Leona and Malleus. now get ready, because I have MANY thoughts on him and you just gave me the opportunity to ramble about them in a silver plater.

I think the thing with Octavinelle is that they are very complex, so naturally their interesting personalities and dynamics attract a lot of fandom attention, myself included! although this complexity also can lead to some misunderstandings and many different interpretations.

going along with your line of thought, I think he's the least scary of the trio, depending on how you view it. Azul seems to agree, as in Beans Day he comments how Jade is the scarier twin, since you never know what he's thinking, while Floyd makes his thoughts clear as day (or something along this lines). I personally agree with this, Floyd is very honest with his intentions, if he wants to hurt someone he'll just outright say it and threaten them, giving plenty of body signals. Jade and Azul are not like that at all, making them more dangerous due to never knowing what angle they are planning or what's going on in their minds.

I can see why the students think he's so scary tho! Floyd's squeezes can hurt quite a lot depending on how he does them, I think in chapter 3 a student even passes out because of it? not only that, but his constant mood swings and unpredictability are also very nerve racking and unsettling, as I think I'd have a hard time trying to deal with someone like this in real life, especially as I appreciate some predictability in order to know how to act around people without stepping over any boundaries, so I feel I'd be walking on eggshells around him lol

of course, he isn't all scary! he looks like it even when he's on his happier moods because of his pre-existing reputation and his loudness and lack of personal space, so people don't try to get close to him and actually see his other sides. I feel he'd be a fun friend to have around, because he's always up to something, and since I love physical affection I wouldn't mind much his hugs. (as long as they aren't his deathly squeezes. I like to keep my lungs intact thank you very much.)

another thing about him is that besides his more scary side, he can be quite cute! his laugh is seriously serotonin inducing, he likes to play around and to dance and to experiment new colorful clothes and to have a good time! he's not an "uwu innocent baby", but he's not a "crazy maniac bastard" either. Floyd can be scary when he wants to and he can be cute when he wants to.

I really like his dorm uniform vignette, I think it's a good example of his nature! he gets things because he wanted to at the time, and that's all there is to it. I don't think he had a personal kind motive behind his trades, just that he wasn't using one thing and if he could trade it for another, then why not? tho it's very interesting how at the end, he did it all to get what Azul wanted (at least inicially, he kinda forgot about it halfway through)

Floyd is, at my point of view, very free, as he doesn't care much about other people's opinions about him or about his grades or about his unique magic or anything really, as long as he's having a good time at the moment. The only thing he's tied to are his own whims, as only Floyd could ever stop himself. I feel like he does things sometimes because he's bored, yes, but sometimes simply because he felt like doing it at the time, so he did. (sometimes I wish I could think like him honestly, it would save me a lot of headache!)

he can definetely be a nice person! like all students at NRC, while they have a tendency to be assholes most of the time, every single one of them can be nice and good! I do like your interpretation of him being afraid of showing vulnerability, such as kindness, something others can easily exploit and he'd know very well about it, since both under the sea and at NRC people take advantage of each other at the drop of a hat. I've seen people think that this boredoom and extreme mood swings of his are masks so he doesn't have to do things he doesn't want. if he wants to escape a situation, he'll say he's bored and leave, simple like that. if he wants to help someone, he'll say he was bored and didn't have anything better to do. I can definetly see it!

in my point of view, I think he genuinely does have his mood swings, one time he'll be super excited about something and in the next he just... won't. I don't think they are without a motive tho, there's always something that triggers it, like if things get repetitive or don't go the way he wanted them to. a way to put him in a especially bad mood would be to try to control him, that's when he's definetly not going to do anything he's asked of. just leave him be and do things on his own way and he'll comply (if he feels like it).

he's most definetly capable of being thoughtful and kind, as Floyd is not dumb at all, he understands other people's emotions and how he affects them very well. hell, he even takes pleasure in scaring them sometimes, so obviously he's very aware. tho he won't just come and do something out of the kindness of his heart, he can do things because he wanted to help or to have something to do. he could just disobey Azul's every comand at any time, but he doesn't, and that shows how far his respect for him goes. he doesn't bend himself over every single wish of Azul's either, oftentimes just not showing up to work or doing his job in a lackluster manner. it all depends on how he's feeling really.

TL;DR: Floyd is such an interesting and multifaceted character! he's much more than the scary image the NRC students have of him and can show many different sides, depending on his mood! he's my little weirdo meow meow, thank you anon for sharing your thoughts with me!

Extra: here are some links for Floyd content you might like! his character fact sheet, that shows a lot of curiosities about him, this analysis Raven has made some time ago, that I agree a lot on (as you can see), and this youtube video that I LOVE it's my little serotonin machine!

[hollowsart]

I'm just saying I would have never looked twice at the lizard if it wasn't for you. He silly water baby.

Also thank you for making Otto and Beck. I find them so silly and funny.

Aaww thank you right back!

I'm happy to provide fresh takes and new coats of paint for characters that may be a bit tired or not having as much love or attention that they could.

As well, just getting a little crazy and creative. Playing with ideas, maybe even messing around with backstories/lore on the rare occasion without taking too much away from their original take.

It's fun and really satisfying seeing people really happy with my designs/redesigns for these characters. Really makes me feel happy.

I love making characters and designs that are fun and enjoyable for everyone or for as wide a range of people as I can. Or just to please me and only me, but if others enjoy it, too? That's a happy little bonus!

Beck and Otto... my beloved blorbos.

[sybilius]

UHHHHH WRESSLING? Idk what’s that called

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

CM Punk (descends into madness at the thought of Him) (has four different tags for him on my blog) (genuinely No One is Doing It Like Him) (I make fun of him every day) (He's such an attractive motherfucker I want to Kill) (my bestie beloved worstie <3)

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

This may come across as real weird to other wrestling fans but Jon Moxley, right now. Listen. first of all he is So Shaped and second, his presence coming back exudes such reckless joy that he's. he's scrunkly. he also tagged with my blorbo on Wednesday and I'm still on about it.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Miyu Yamashita, who is not underappreciated in her promotion, but she is a Joshi and so is a lil obscure in my current circles.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

KIDD BANDIT!!! Shiny indie guy please support them I want the world for them.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

skdfjlkdsjf stupid brain wants to say "also CM Punk" but let's go with Adam Cole (baybay) since his knowledge of what appropriate polycule / friendship etiquette is has been either pathetic or problematic depending on how you wanna read it.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Darby Allin. This one is complicated since I imprinted on my verison of the character hard, but the motherfucker takes himself too seriously and that is Tormentable Content.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Dan Lambert. Seriously fuck that guy get him off my television.

[msperfectsheep-posts]

hm. for the character ask game. idolish7 protagonist bingo : -riku -tsumugi -hope -arme -momiji why not

SORRY THIS IS LATE. I did this earlier and accidentally closed my art program right as I was opening this ask so. Yeah. I'm going to put my thoughts below a cut like last time just to not flood any dashes <3

Riku Nanase: (IDOLiSH7, normal canon)

Riku's...really interesting to me in a few ways. Like, he is not my favorite by any means, but I think his character is one that I really enjoy digging into because of all of the small parts that go into making him him. He's been sick his entire life and wants to get past that and seen as a person rather than a weak little animal that's a burden, but he's also reckless and bull-headed. He starts fights and doesn't even realize it. He's selfish in a manner that is so innocent, and he's silly in a way that's deeply charming. I think he's a lot more than just the :D face you see him making a lot of the time, but he also is just very silly sometimes. And he can canonically see ghosts??? So there's that.

Tsumugi Takanashi (IDOLiSH7, normal canon)

Chitra this is your blorbo prime. You automatically won her a bingo square just by being my friend <3. Anyways! This is for anime/Rabbichat Tsumugi, since technically she isn't supposed to have much of a personality in the game and I think the anime does a lot for her character. She's really great! God is she fun! She's a workaholic freak that loves her boys dearly but man is there a lot more than just that. I would love to dig more into her as a character one day, but for now, I will just say BANGER female supporting character. I'm glad the boys are with her

Hope: (IDOLiSH7, Hoshimeguri no Kansokusha)

HOPE MY BELOVED. OH MY GOD. Well first of all, I'm not going to write a novelization of a story if I don't fuck with the main character. Like. I may not like them as a person, but I have to at least like them as a character. And Hope is just an excellent bildungsroman protagonist for this space fantasy adventure story. He's earnest and loving, and as the emotional core of the entire story, you NEED to understand why his personality is so integral to how things end up, and I think the writers did an excellent job with that in the original story. He's a deeply charismatic character in that I never want to stop writing things with him and all of his friends in it. I'm ill.

Arme: (IDOLiSH7, La Danse Macabre)

MY FIRST BINGO!! Arme my belarme. I roleplay him in one of my friend's multifandom servers. I have so many headcanons. He's a fucked up little creature and baby boy in a way both parallel and perpendicular to Haruka. I want to squish him and also watch him from a distance. The fact that you can choose his biggest decision in Danmaca is INSANE and speaks a lot to how his character progressed in the story without progressing too much. It's just. Ough. I know danmaca was long but honestly I would have loved it to be doubly as long just so I could see more of all the characters and more of Arme's development, especially post canon.

Momiji: (IDOLiSH7, Ayakashi Mangekyo Karatogaokuri)

I have to be real here. I have not read Karatoga in a recent enough time for me to remember a lot of Momiji's character. I remember thinking this was one of the weakest Kujis, but also, I'm not a big fan of tournament arcs and a lot of this Kuji is just one big tournament arc. I liked the central dynamic he was involved in and how a lot of Momiji's character background shared similarities with Sougo's in canon, but he's not really a stand out Kuji protagonist from what I can remember! If I go back and re-read, I'll reblog this with an updated opinion!

Thank you for the asks!! You should read Mechalala and LINK RING WIND now so you'll know all the protagonists :)
