🏎️Turbo (Wreck-It Ralph) x (gn) Reader🏁

(Sleep Edition!)

(Request here! Honestly, I’m surprised it took me so long to use an ICP song for Turbo, something about him just screams Juggalo, probably the paper white skin or the innate violent impulsivity🔑, I dunno lol)

- Alright so, even unconscious Turbo is selfish, an absolute blanket hog, and you’d think with how small the guy is he wouldn’t take as much of bed space but he does, spreading his limbs out like he’s a fat cat who just ate a good portion of some cat kibble earlier.

- I think he’d be a snorer, but like, usually when he’s on his back and it isn’t obnoxious, no loud sleep apnea snoring here.

- Much like everything else, it takes a while for him to get used to sleeping with you whenever you guys can without necessities of working or doing some other things after hours.

- In my opinion I think the need for sleep for the game characters of Wreck-It Ralph is far less important seeing how after hours they display little to no sleep deprivation all throughout the movie even though it spans roughly 2 nights filled with action and 2 work days.

- So this may be a rare occurrence, but it’s certainly not impossible, considering with the existence of Tapper’s in which we see these game characters drinking, meaning they may have ways to both gain and lose energy.

- Despite this, Turbo I think would be less inclined to exercise a healthy sleeping routine, just having so much to do and wanting to have every moment awake to prove to him and others around him that he is worthy of the title of the beloved game protagonist of Mr. Litwak’s arcade.

- Those eye bags and more unhealthy disposition in comparison to the art on the side of his arcade cabinet says all that needs to be known.

- Which adds to his easily agitated demeanor, so, possibly, maybe, I dunno, getting him to finally fucking sleep after who knows how long makes him chill the fuck out for once.

- Afterwards, he doesn’t verbally thank you for it, typical, too stubborn to admit he was the wrong one in this situation but shows his thanks the next time you disregard your health, calling you stupid among other things while either metaphorically or literally dragging you away from what’s making you unhealthy.

- Inevitably, much like many of the aspects of your relationship he comes to like having sleeping sessions with you, having you beside him while he’s in one of his vulnerable states.

- He doesn’t like being seen as weak and it shows consciously and unconsciously, so having someone whose opinion and perspective of him matters to him seeing him like that displays something he probably never thought would ever do— To be truly trusting of someone beyond himself.

- To be with him alone is something he doesn’t expect from anyone, let alone you— A part of him knows he’s not exactly the best when it comes to another person’s emotions, whether intentional or not.

- So someone like you who shows genuine interest in and keeps showing that rocks him to the very core at times, a kind pang of emotion he doesn’t know how to comprehend just yet.

- Again he hides this with hostility at times, threatening you a bit so you don’t tell anyone of this self-perceived weakness.

- Paralleling him to a cat once more when I say, you can’t force this— He doesn’t hang on your every word or action, he needs to be eased into this new normal and be given consistent reassurance that you are what you portray, ironic isn’t it?

- I think he slowly comes to be truly comfortable with you sleeping with him, but I don’t see him cozying up to you easily, he’s just a naturally rigid guy.

- However I don’t think he’s a block of ice completely, he does have the capacity and does hold onto you whenever you’re in bed with him after some gentle coaxing.

- Talking him to sleep is a common thing during these moments, something about being softly spoken to lulling the racer to sleep eventually.

- He’s a crippling insomniac and no one can tell me otherwise, just look at him.

- This is a very interesting way you guys bond, it isn’t over the top or over-complicated, it’s you and him sharing a sweet moment.

[hwnglx]

this one was a little! harsh. again, please remember i'm entering other idols' energy and looking into their pov of hyunjin. this is a very subjective and superficial perspective.

hyunjin's reputation among idols

based on tarot. i do not know these idols personally. energies are always changing. what i say is NOT straight fact. pls take it with a grain of salt!

female idols

song: lost cause by billie eilish

their energy was crazy. i just casually started tearing up and getting weirdly sentimental while writing this, so.. definitely some strong emotion present here? also immediately thought of the song mentioned above. especially the “i used to think you were shy, but maybe you just had nothing on your mind. maybe you were thinking about yourself all the time.” line.

so, hyunjin's reputation among female idols doesn't look great persé. he's viewed as a guy who's likely to have flirted with anyone fitting his idea of attractive. a bit of a ladies' man, who for sure enjoys the ego-stroking that comes with female validation. he's great at these short but emotional flings, meaning in the moment he's great at deceiving and deluding people into him being serious about it. there is this huge perception of him just being kinda.. delusional and unrealistic, living in a dream world of his own and willingly wearing these rose-colored glasses. if hyunjin connects to you romantically, he's amazing at dragging you with him into that world. like dating (? or hooking up? energy is mostly physical with this perception of a shortlived emotional bond) with him can be a bit of a rollercoaster.. with an irresistible high, and the following disappointing low. definitely a certain addictiveness to it. he knows his powers and what he can do to people, how he can use them to his own advantage.

he's very good at appearing a certain way but being another. meaning he puts on this prince charming on a white horse act, but once you look beyond that, or you just get close enough to knowing his actual self, he's much more selfish and greedy for his own good, than you'd expect. many female idols have this view of him as someone who only enters connections in order to gain something for himself, mostly validation. he puts a lot of importance into superficial things, such as fame, popularity, reputation, image, money, power.. they think he struggles finding true emotional fulfilllment, doesn't really know what he sincerely needs and is disconnected to his inner voice. he therefore just goes on hopping from one person to another. pretty bad at committing to relationships. he's great at entertaining the idea of them, but doesn't live up to the idea in reality. he's very in or out, not always available. prone to ghosting people out of nowhere and not recognizing or not wanting to acknowledge the toxicity behind his actions.

he's not very self-aware in their eyes. he hates confronting or acknowledging certain realities and therefore runs away from them. like he just runs away from his problems essentially. doesn't take accountability for his actions. hyunjin is a bit like an immature and irresponsible child to them. he gets afraid to admit to his mistakes because he's scared to get hurt, or make himself appear weak or flawed. some of them think it's pathetic. (they're very harsh in their judgement for sure lol)

there are some female idols though, who view him as mysterious and intriguing, and very desirable too. they think he has a strong presence, and he has this aura to him that awakens your interest, makes you wonder who he truly is. i can sense he's probably someone who does most of the approaching (surprisingly straightforward and direct) but doesn't have many people actually approach him, since he doesn't have very accessible energy. there's a good portion of female idols just staring at him like 🫢😯 and whispering and gossiping. they look at him as this unapproachable guy full of mystery, someone they can't figure out.

male idols

so, male idols look at hyunjin in a lighter manner. opinions do seem to vary though.

he's someone who's also just kinda in and out in their eyes. like at one point, you'll be with him, enjoying his company and seeming like you became pretty close, in the next he'll just be gone and unreachable. he's someone unpredictable and moody to them, like you never really know what phase in life he'll be in. someone very sensitive and easily affected by external influences, who therefore naturally goes through many ups and downs in life. however, they think he doesn't really let people in when it comes to his internal world. he's good at the superficial connections, i can see him being a lot of fun at parties, but many male idols feel like they don't actually know him as well as they think.

however additionally, there is this perception of him being.. overly sensitive. like do not touch hyunjin when he's going through something. some male idols think he's way too easily stressed out about things, makes a big deal out of everything, constantly self-sabotages and creates himself problems when there's none. in their eyes, he's a bit of a pain in the ass in this way. like just unbearable. you won't get him to open up easily, but once he does, he'll probably puke all his concerns out in hours and overwhelm the hell out of the person he's with.

but i have to say, he has an immense amount of respect from his peers in a professional manner. many male idols think he's the stand-out member in stray kids. they think it's impressive how he's been able to pave himself a way and reputation of his own. a lot of approval and acknowledgement of his not only his abilities, but also his efforts career-wise. it's giving this role model among quite a few idols, especially rookies. i can tell there's this tendency for them to be in awe of group members who just stand out and have these main-character vibes among the rest. many of them would like to imitate hyunjin's career trajectory and are eager to reach a similar reputation professionally. he has this image of having fulfilled his dreams with his own efforts, probably because of them turning him into the main dancer of the group, rather than him being “born talented”. the professional applause for hyunjin is something that's for sure spread among the majority of male idols. his career is very commendable and praiseworthy in their eyes.

I have been trying to make this post for a long time now... But I kept pushing it off again and again, because I thought if I made it I would be ripped to pieces by Tumblr's wild beasts. Now that the Gaiman accusations appeared (and that older cases were dug up), I have to admit I had a selfish little sigh of relief because I thought I could finally make this post... But then I quickly realized upon seeing all the misinformation and "hot takes" people were sharing around that my post might potentially get support just because it is against Gaiman's work... And I don't want that either because it is just my opinion about an adaptation and a TV series, and it has nothing to do with the crimes talked about currently. This is why I won't tag it "Neil Gaiman".

So I will make this post, but be warned, I had this opinion this the release of season 1 so it's old news. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way here is my opinion:

I do not like the Good Omens series.

Shocking reveal, isn't it? I have never hidden that Good Omens is one of my favorite novels ever. Heck it was because of Good Omens that I decided to give a shot to Gaiman's works, because before I just rolled my eyes at stuff like Coraline and was a dedicated Pratchett fanboy. Good Omens the book was a big part of my life, and I still love dearly this book - I am still a bit pissed off that people forget it wasn't all Gaiman, it was Pratchett too.

But I am not surprised people think it so... because of the series. The show adaptation. Which I do not actually like. In fact, I think I posted a bit about this when season 1 was over, and then I just shut myself silent because the show-fans of GO were just annoying and irritating to me. And one of their irritating trait was to completely erase or forget about Pratchett's involvment, and only praise and talk and refer to Gaiman as the sole creator of Good Omens which is... deeply infuriating.

I did not even watch season 2. I don't know what it is about, I just know the plot of episode 1, and that's literaly it. I don't know who are the characters of season 2, what is its plot, what is its twists... Never had interest to watch it, never bothered. Why? Well two reasons.

Reason A: Season 1 did not really made me giggle with glee or smile with happiness or cheer with enthusiasm. The announcement did, the pre-release pictures and promos did, the first episodes did... But by the end of season 1 I was just... "Okay? That's it? I guess... it's nice. I prefer the book though." Yes, they tried to stay faithful to the novel, yes they paid heavy homage to Pratchett, yes I understand why so many people loved it... and yet I am amazed at how different the show is from the novel. Because despite being faithful in the portions it adapts... the show removes a LOT from the original novel. It has been explained as budget cuts, unfinished post-productions, time constraint, the limits of a TV show... some of the deleted scenes are bonus in the DVDs, some only exist in the official script, some never reached the script stage at all...

But here's the thing: by removing these parts, the creators of the show made a story that isn't at all the novel. And as a result, when chatting with fans of the show, I ended up realizing we had a "deaf dialogue" as we didn't speak of the same story or the same characters. Take for example the addition of an entire episode dedicated to the backstory of Crowley and Aziraphale. Not bad in idea, very enjoyable for a fan of the Good Omens world... but very detrimental in the scope of interpreting the story. Because this, and the big advertisement around these characters, and the big stars put in their role, and the TV guides and reviews description always starting with "An angel and a demon on earth"... It led everybody to think "Good Omens" is a story about Aziraphale and Crowley. That they are the main characters, the protagonists, and everybody is a side-character.

THEY'RE NOT! Yes they are one of the protagonists - ONE of the protagonists. Yes they appear on the covers, it doesn't mean it is a story about them. It is a story about Adam, and Adam is, for example, as much a protagonist of the story as Crowley and Aziraphale. Another noticeable change: the novel ends with Adam, because it opens with his birth (well, not immediately, but it is the main big event of the opening of the novel) and thus is concluded with him. In the show they end with Crowley and Aziraphale, and a bonus section AGAIN pulling the plot by the side of the duo. GO the novel is very Pratchettian in its structure and handling of the characters - it is a traditional "early Discworld" style of storytelling, almost like a traditional Russian novel, where you have a lot of characters leading separate but linked storylines, and it blurs the line between who is the "protagonist" and who is just a "secondary character" as there is no real central focus outside of the story itself, which is the narrative lead instead of a specific character.

Results? Now everybody thinks GO is primarily and firstly a romance between an angel and a demon. When in fact the original novel is, first and foremost, about a parody of the Apocalypse and about the displacement of an Antichrist - displacement of which Crowley and Aziraphale are the most active agents, but it doesn't make them the sole protagonists of the story. This is why the announcing of season 2 made me lose interest: I could have bought new Crowley and Aziraphale adventures... but without Newt, Anathema, Shadwell, the Horsepersons of the Apocalypse, Adam and the Them? They were placing their bets on new characters invented for the show that I had never heard about, so of course it did not interest me.

(I also STRONGLY defend the idea that the novel Crowley-Aziraphale relationship wasn't meant to be just and solely a romance, that it was a bit more ambiguous and open for interpretations, but that's a fight I have to lead another time)

I am still pissed off at how GO (show) fans treat Adam and the Them sections like garbage and as parts that could be entirely cut off - when they were crucial and the heart of the novel. It was a proof that the show had manage them very poorly.

Reason B: I did not trust Gaiman's claims.

Remember, this is before the whole business of sex crimes popped up. I am not saying this retrospectively. But when season 2 was announced and released, I did not trust Gaiman with his claims of "continuying Pratchett's legacy".

See, it was well-known, recorded and reported that yes, Pratchett and Gaiman had worked on a potential sequel to Good Omens before Pratchett's death. And when Gaiman explained that season 2 would be based off those left-over ideas and concepts for this sequel (the same way several of the added segments of season 1 were leftovers of this same unwritten novel) I was "Great!". But the way Gaiman shifted around when talking about this on Tumblr bothered me.

Originally he claimed season 2 would be based on the sequel novel. But then he claimed season 3 would be based on the unfinished sequel, with season 2 merely being a "bridge" to season 3. And then he added that however season 2 was not a "filler" but was "needed" to be able to reach and access season 3's story? Despite season 3 being supposedly based on the unmade DIRECT sequel to the Good Omens novel, an unmade sequel that several elements of were directly introduced in season 1? This made me very suspicious and distrustful. This is also why I never bothered watching season 2 - it always felt to me as if Gaiman was trying to sell his own ideas under the name of Pratchett, and since only he was in the know, we couldn't prove anything.

Now to be fair, Gaiman WAS fair in handling Pratchett's moments in season 1. For example, while yes he had some of the Pratchett-written moments cut (like some of the Them's scenes), he also had several of his own sections cut (for example it is known that the Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse scenes were mainly written by Gaiman - and I was really pissed off at how they removed basically half of their scenes because they are one of my favorite parts of the novel). But you can unfortunately feel how Pratchett wasn't on board because of precisely how his main part in the novel (Adam and the Them) ended up underwhelming and ignored by everybody... Which leads me to

Little C: This one is basically a bonus thought I am throwing here because I don't know how else to introduce it. The Good Omens show (at least season 1, again I didn't watch season 2) was so sanitized... A lot of the dark humor was cut out of the show, and it felt so hypocritical and such a classic "Amazon sanitizing" job. For example Famine's scene with the dieting model was cut off to "not offend people" and "not be triggering". Despite it being a very much needed commentary and thing to point out about human evil? And the line about the "faggots" was cut-off again to not be "offensive"... Despite it being a very clever pun on UK English versus USA English and the USA having proven VERY recently that they are NOT actually a gay-friendly nation? They gave flavor and spice and a much needed dose of the "anger under the humor" typical of Pratchett's work, and removing these little bits here and there made the show feel a bit... sugary sweet? A bit sanitized.

When tboredman said he was a bit wary about the coming of the Good Omens show because of how he perceived "red flags" with the trailers and promos, I was quite puzzled... Unfortunately now I can see it was a literal omen. By the way, if you want a very cool, very nice, very inventive webcomic that pays homage and takes inspiration from Good Omens while being its own hilarious yet dark Apocalypse parody... I suggest you check Boredman's Apocalyptic Horseplay. It is really cool! It is on Webtoon or on this very Tumblr (check @tboredman )

Rate Your OC

Compassion: 8/10 Despite being kind of prickly in demeanor, he cares a lot. He wants to help – tosses money to beggars, feeds stray cats, and always offers his friends advice and support. Probably comes from helping the grieving in the Necropolis.

Bitterness: 7/10 He carries a lot of bitterness in him. He’s bitter about a lot of things in his past and present, but his biggest point of this at the start of DatV is being cast out of the Mourn Watch. He views Myrna sending him off as a betrayal.

Happiness: 5/10 At least at the start of the game his life is really, like. Mid. He loves the Mourn Watch and his home in Necropolis deeply, but he spends a lot of time eating dinner by himself in his apartment and getting into arguments with his specific Mourn Watch team (to whom he is a problem child.)

Politeness: 4/10 Look he can lapse into the propriety of the Mourn Watch when he really needs to – like when Myrna is watching or he’s trying to impress a handsome senior watcher – but outside of that very specific persona he’s NOT polite lmao. He speaks informally and swears a lot and wrestles his bros. Puts his dirty boots up on your coffee table.

Chivalry: 2/10 At least before he falls for Emmrich, barely anything. He will pick things up for you but only to show off (or you’re going too slow). Open your own doors. HOWEVER, when he does fall for Emmrich, he kinda tries to be little more like this. Helps him down from the ziplines, for example.

Pride: 6/10 He’s confident and bold, and he’s a bit of a show-off. Likes to showboat a lot at the Hall of Valor, spars with Davrin and Taash in as little clothing as possible. Postures a lot when he’s dealing with people he doesn’t like. He’s covering plenty of insecurities, though.

Honesty: 8/10 He generally doesn’t have much of a reason to lie. He gives his friends very honest, straightforward feedback on their projects and advice for their troubles. Isn’t afraid to disagree with them openly. Caveat: he thinks it’s really funny to be inaccurate about Nevarra/the MW when people ask about it. Whenever Emmrich is happily teaching about his homeland, Bart is back there like “Actually they leave all the babies in the crypts. To be raised by beetles for the first month or so”

Bravery: 9/10 It’s pretty well-known that he’s very brave. He faces down whatever he has to. He will risk a lot for what he believes in, for those he loves. I think this is a fun contrast to Emmrich who I think has been very...leashed by his own anxiety and fear for his entire life. However...one little point deducted because he very nearly did give up when he found out that he actually has to continue without Varric. He is afraid to face that, and it holds him in fade prison for a while.

Recklessness: 10/10 Yeah he’s batshit in this area. He has 0 fear of heights, he will walk across a rickety ass bunch of scrap wood to get to a cool rock or pet a cat. He fights up close against Darkspawn, Antaam, elven constructs, whatever. Has a remarkable pain tolerance. He yelled “hey!” at a dragon. All his plans are Fuck Stupid. Like the Evanuris got out the way they did because he best idea was “drop a big statue on Solas”

Ambition: 6/10 I think he has a healthy ambition. It never was an ambition to do what he’s doing now, though. He never set out with the intent to be a big hero, never really wanted to lead the team. His ambitions were back home. His ambition to make it into the prestigious Mourn Watch, to become respected there. After the game he’s going back to school to get higher on the MW ladder, maybe even teach classes himself one day. Professor Ingellvar’s Bar Fighting 101

Loyalty: 6/10 My guy can be pretty ride or die but he isn’t blindly loyal. He won’t stay loyal to someone who’s doing something he believes is wrong. But he’s by no means a fair-weather friend or anything. He’s definitely more loyal to people than he is to, say, organizations or ideas.

Love: 6/10 He’s got more love in him than he lets on. As mentioned re: Compassion, he cares a lot about people and animals and cultures and places. However if you look at it as romance and friendship and intimacy, he can be pretty reserved with it at first. Points deducted for being so flustered and overwhelmed by Emmrich’s approach that he’s gotta get up and walk around in circles for a minute.

Sense of Family: 5/10 He eventually does see his team as a family, but not like...nuclear family style or anything. They are his friends for life. He has Myrna and Vorgoth and they’re probably a far cry from a conventional family. His own immediate family he ends up living with post-game is 1) his 20+ yrs older husband 2) his son who is a wisp that learned to talk 3) The Evil Skull

Attractiveness: 9/10 He’s a short king with a choppy mullet and freckles, he’s built like a pit bull, he’s strong as fuck, he’s a goth jock, he has sick ass tattoos. He’s got everything. According to my followers & my husband he’s my hottest Dragon Age protagonist character. Emmrich and Davrin aren’t both down fucking abysmal for him for nothing.

Agility: 5/10 More than your average mage, since he fights close quarters and has to dodge a lot. Not to mention all his climbing and jumping and whatnot. However. He still does get hit, fall, almost fall, and accidentally break shit a lot. I think he’s less agile than he is reckless.

Sex Drive: 5/10 Conditional. He’s on fantasy T and I hear things about that. He’s got enough of a libido, but he usually just takes care of himself. It’s almost a chore to him, it’s just distracting. He has one-night stands and friends with benefits on occasion, but Emmrich is the first person he’s serious with and that may take that 5 up a tick. He finds out that casual sex was a means to an end for him, but sex with somebody he deeply loves is a whole different thing. Now he’s turning down sparring with Davrin and Taash like, “Sorry guys. Have to go get dicked down. Yeah in the Necropolis, obviously. OK love you bye”

i need you to give me literally all the information you can about felix please im writing a fic i don't know what im doing please

felix mains scout in tf2. thats all you need to know

Felix is gordon's younger twin brother. They look very similar, but Felix has "bluer" eyes than Gordon does. They have a strained relationship. After Felix moved to canada and Gordon was over in Austria or at MIT (its unclear exactly when), their parents died. Imo, I think Felix holds it against Gordon that he wasn't "there" for him., even if he doesnt actually say anything about THAT specifically. He certainly seems to think Gordon doesnt care about him (despite sharing stories where Gordon cares about him). In felix's mind, Felix has amnesia for a good portion of it, so he doesn't remember who he is; we can kind of see he has a complex with his brother. He both envies and dislikes gordon --- meanwhile, gordon doesn't say anything about felix. Felix lives in gordon's shadow but Gordon dgaf --- except he does give SOME fucks. he got felix his job at black mesa, after all....

ok enough about the twins. felix focus time

i recently rewatched felixs mind with my friend and we took notes. FIRST THINGS FIRST. He does NOT say ANY SLURS in his series. HOWEVER! he is definitely sexist. and he has a homophobic aura. we've come to the conclusion that he's also tried to have sex with barney but it failed horrendously, partially because felix was weird about barney being trans. (this was like around college era for both of them and barney has forgor. felix remembers forever). Felix is a Closeted Repressed Genderfluid Transfem Individual. this is so true and canon and you can trust me ok...

BARNEY is his buddy. barney is the only one who can reliably tell him apart from gordon. Stark knows who Felix is; we can assume they are at least pleasant acquaintances. He probably knows Arlen, Ryan, and Kate in passing. Heather does not like him. lauren is his "friend"

While gordon makes the occasional dirty joke, Felix is much more crass. felix talks about dick and balls. he is a transhumanist. he wants mechanical dick and balls. His girlfriend (ex?) is chell of chell's mind fame. No one knows how he managed this --- HOWEVER! The fact he was able tosomehow get a girlfriend is astounding. From this, we can tell he's.... more socially normal than gordon. Felix is like freakier on the scale of freak, but hes better at appearing well adjusted for the most part (all mind series are in high stakes situations where the characters are mostly panicking, so we can only draw conclusions from evidence presented on how they would act in mundane situations). Felix is LIKEABLE. Felix has friends. People like him, even though he sucks. He sucks in a more tolerable and socially acceptable way than gordon does. Felix is obviously insecure, not that he will ever admit this. Felix also calls himself a silly pasty white boy. and he is indeed very silly. hes more internet brained than gordon. if he was in 2025 he would be a gooner and a redditor (but all mindverse characters are redditors). felix is very sarcastic, but hes also much more varied in his tone + yell-yier than gordon. Felix wants PPrincess Luna from MLP. he seems to have a negative view of drug users.

felix is like someone who would say "females". hes like the type of person who would get radicalized by sigma male content eventually. also if you break gender norms around him he thinks its weird. hes like someone who would use your pronouns but in a way that feels transphobic. like hes being held at gunpoint by the the woke left to do this. ALL THAT ASIDE, hes still like... tolerable? still sexist and weird about gender butits only because hes jealous and needs to take estrogen. he absorbed all of gordons gender in the womb. stupid selfish asshole.

additional stuff from full mind awareness:

negative views of drug users are confirmed, hes also definitely homophobic and repressed, and he also seems to share his brothers occasionally tenuous grip on reality (stating it likes runs in the family iirc? somthing like that) but is more aware of it than gordon is. Felix cares about his brother, but still is overshadowed by him, and still doesnt really believe Gordon cares about him back.

Tagged by @rowanisawriter, I'm going to make this about my Rook some more because I just finished writing another fic about her and she's constantly on my mind.

Tagging, with no pressure whatsoever, @kmackatie @saturdaysky @lakrisrot @fanfoolishness @kvella and you, yes you, whom I definitely meant to tag but forgot.

A few notes: Aglais is a genuinely kind and easy-going person who, as a Qunari growing up in Nevarra, learned very quickly she had to seem as inoffensive and friendly as possible, and as an overachiever she can't admit she's struggling. So I read some traits such as unkempt appearance as leaning more towards non-threatening look, decisiveness as fake-it-til-you-make-it display of confidence and feeling inadequate as something she keeps very close to her chest. Some negative traits that are not in the list are a tendency towards well-meaning manipulation, and using humor to deflect even when the situation calls for sincerity.

I haven't played my rook claudia in a while but hey it's fun to get to know your characters and i'll do anything my wife tells me thanks @caffeinatedmunchkin LUST: desire for connection. pursuit of pleasure. emotional intelligence. obsessive. lovesick. one-night stands. seductive encounter. flirtatious conversation. erotic party. seductive attire. revealing clothing. passionate gaze. provocative makeup. sensual expressions. suggestive gestures. flirtatious smiles. lingerie. love letters. perfumes. provocative behavior. love poems. erotic art.

x I reckon she's a real flirt who enjoys something casual. Someone who loves sex for the beauty of it, the chase of it, the game of it, not so much the love-making bit. I think she's a romantic who finds big gestures typically corny but appreciates a good bottle of wine and something shiny.

GLUTTONY: indulgence in experiences. savoring moments. hospitality. generosity. hedonism. culinary expertise. wine-tasting. excessive snacking. overloaded plates. excessive portions. bloated stomachs. messy eating. greasy fingers. full tables. indulgent spreads. overflowing cups. satisfied expressions. wine bottles. just can’t get enough. fast food wrappers.

x She's got the heart of a fat cat who's been reduced to alleyway scraps. But on days they're not out questing, she's got on a face mask, a steaming bubble bath with some oils she picked up in a market and a juicy flick featuring their resident detective. Very much a work hard so you can play harder type.

ENVY: motivation. competitive spirit. strategic planning. observational skills. bitter rivalry. contest. envious gossip. resentment-filled argument. social media jealousy. furrowed brows. clenched jaws. side-eye looks. pursed lips. tense posture. whispering behind backs. crossed arms. gossip magazines. keeping up with the joneses. the grass is always greener. feeling inadequate.

x Hm I think her envy tends to go hand in hand with her wrath. Like she probably has some envy over Myrna just because she can live in Nevarra and wasn't pushed into some Sofia Falcone type "go to Italy" bullshit.

GREED: resourcefulness. entrepreneurial spirit. negotiation. materialistic. aggressive investment. lavish spending spree. resource-hoarding. get-rich-quick schemes. auction-bidding war. property acquisition. piles of money. overflowing wallets. luxury items. locked safes. penny-pinching. rare collectibles. selfishness. unwillingness to share.

x Oh yeah. Dragon behavior supreme. It's not hoarding if your shit is good. I mean she's Nevarran so like yeah she's a show-off and finer-things appreciator. Someone who likes keeping tabs on market fluctuations and what's hot.

SLOTH: calmness. stress management. nonchalance. relaxation techniques. lethargic. apathetic. inactive. lazy weekend. binge-watching marathon. neglected chores. skipped workout. long nap. lounging on the couch. missed deadlines. unkempt appearance. messy hair. pajamas. blankets. slippers. procrastination station. self-care routines.

x Yeah I think we touched on it in gluttony but when you grow up the way she did, you learn to take care of yourself. Now it's a ritual. The months following veilguard include long naps on the coast and fruit bowls and sweat.

PRIDE: confidence. self-assurance. self-respect. dignity. public speaking. self-promotion. arrogant. conceited. egotistical. self-important. vain. boastful speech. puffed chest. raised chin. smug smiles. spotlight. tooting your own horn. showing off. refusing to admit mistakes. feeling entitled. personal branding. leadership development.

x Yeah her fatal flaw is justifying her mistakes which is Bad when you're a thief. Something to work on now that you're saving the world I guess.

WRATH: assertiveness. decisiveness. strength. intensity. boundary setting. courage. indignant. heated arguments. road rage incident. physical altercation. angry outburst. clenched fists. glaring eyes. tense muscles. raised voices. reddened faces. aggressive gestures. stormy demeanour. intense frowns. destructive actions. broken objects. punching bag. out for blood. fists. simmering anger.

x I think her anger is either incredibly petty or takes ages to build. Very ides of march. A diplomat who, when pushed, pulls a blade. Makes sense given she's a rogue etc etc etc

This was fun! Imma tag some mutuals I haven't really gotten the chance to talk to but definitely wanna know more about!!!

Seven deadly sins

Tagged by @emmg! My Rook is a Very Dense™ man, but also very extroverted, the total opposite of my Lavellan.

He was supposed to be the Enasalin from an old fic of a mine (and his first name is still Enasalin), but in the end he became a very different character (also due to the game's roleplaying limitations)

LUST. desire for connection. pursuit of pleasure. emotional intelligence. obsessive. lovesick. one-night stands. seductive encounter. flirtatious conversation. erotic party. seductive attire. revealing clothing. passionate gaze. provocative makeup. sensual expressions. suggestive gestures. flirtatious smiles. lingerie. love letters. perfumes. provocative behaviour. love poems. erotic art.

• He grew up as a city elf, so the first thing he did when he found himself in the Lighthouse was robbing Solas' pantry.

Harding: "Oh wow, that's a lot of raisins."

Rook: "OH SHIT, RAISINS, I HAVEN'T EATEN SOME SINCE 9:49 DRAGON"

ENVY. motivation. competitive spirit. strategic planning. observational skills. bitter rivalry. contest. envious gossip. resentment-filled argument. social media jealousy. furrowed brows. clenched jaws. side-eye looks. pursed lips. tense posture. whispering behind backs. crossed arms. gossip magazines. keeping up with the joneses. the grass is always greener. feeling inadequate.

• He's always feeling inadequate - he knows he's not supposed to be in that position, he's just hired help 😂 He's not really envious, more like "Please let this person deal with this" or "I wish Varric was feeling better enough to help me handle this group"

GREED. resourcefulness. entrepreneurial spirit. negotiation. materialistic. aggressive investment. lavish spending spree. resource-hoarding. get-rich-quick schemes. auction-bidding war. property acquisition. piles of money. overflowing wallets. luxury items. locked safes. penny-pinching. rare collectibles. selfishness. unwillingness to share.

• He knows what being poor means. He is a very resourceful man, knowing how to barter or save money, always yearning for a house he can call his own, since things in the alienage were a mess - shared shacks, shared spaces, shared food.

SLOTH. calmness. stress management. nonchalance. relaxation techniques. lethargic. apathetic. inactive. lazy weekend. binge-watching marathon. neglected chores. skipped workout. long nap. lounging on the couch. missed deadlines. unkempt appearance. messy hair. pajamas. blankets. slippers. procrastination station. self-care routines.

PRIDE. confidence. self-assurance. self-respect. dignity. public speaking. self-promotion. arrogant. conceited. egotistical. self-important. vain. boastful speech. puffed chest. raised chin. smug smiles. spotlight. tooting your own horn. showing off. refusing to admit mistakes. feeling entitled. personal branding. leadership development.

• He feels inadequate leading, but he also has a hard time admitting his mistakes. Leaving Solas' prison was so easy for him - "Hey, my friends made those choices, who was I to argue with them? Let me out, thank youuu :D "

WRATH. assertiveness. decisiveness. strength. intensity. boundary setting. courage. indignant. heated arguments. road rage incident. physical altercation. angry outburst. clenched fists. glaring eyes. tense muscles. raised voices. reddened faces. aggressive gestures. stormy demeanour. intense frowns. destructive actions. broken objects. punching bag. out for blood. fists. simmering anger.

If Rook was taken over by a demon, she would absolutely be a demon of wrath. This girl is angry at the world and out for blood and she will make it everyone else's problem.

I also was not tagged for this part, but since I'm filling out the deadly sins I wanted to throw this out there as well because, again, I do love to talk about this woman. I also saw another blog throw that at the end (cannot remember who for the life of me) so I figured I'd do the same. I also enjoy tag games so you get a 2 for 1 packaged deal with this.

Rate Your OC

Compassion: 8/10 She's angry and headstrong, but she has a good heart deep down. Gives what coin she can to the needy and won't leave a stray cat untouched. Piss her off and that compassion drops to below 0.

Bitterness: 10/10 She is angry at the world and that never truly leaves her. It lightens as time goes on, but she was wrong many times in her life and it's not something she ever lets go of.

Happiness: 3/10 This girl is so unhappy that giving her a 3 is being generous. Hated everything about her life up until she met Varric. Happiness probably shoots up to about a 7/10 after she is officially with Lucanis, but lingering shadows are hard to get rid of.

Politeness: 8/10 Smiles and listens. Addresses the right people by their titles. Gives genuine compliments. Wants everyone to feel included and seen.

Chivalry: 7/10 Helps members of the team whenever she can, but won't coddle. Makes sure no one is left behind and is there with a helping hand.

Pride: 3/10 There's very few things she's proud of and isn't one to want to be in the spotlight. She prefers lingering in the shadows and neither being seen or heard until the right moment.

Honesty: 4/10 She tries to be honest, she really does, but habits are hard to break when a lifetime is spent lying to survive. May also lie to avoid hurting the feelings of those she cares about or to protect them.

Bravery: 10/10 Get out of the way nothing can intimidate this woman anymore. She's spent enough of her life cowering in fear and being afraid to act and she won't stand for it a minute longer. Wants to do the right thing for the benefit of herself and others.

Recklessness: 5/10 Prefers to wait in the shadows until the moment is right, but will throw herself in harms way if it means protecting others. Also believes in living life to the fullest so she doesn't always make the smartest decisions.

Ambition: 10/10 Wants to see everything the world has to offer and leave no stone unturned. She wants to travel and explore and help people along the way.

Loyalty: 8/10 Once befriended, she is fiercely loyal. But, if she thinks someone is taking advantage of power or doing something underhanded, she will not hesitate to step away.

Love: 10/10 She loves hard and deep. Applies to both friends and relationships. It may take her a while to get there, but once she is, she loves with her whole heart and soul. Loves the beauty of simplicity in the world around her and adores anything that walks on four legs or flies.

Sense of Family: 2/10 She was abandoned as a child and grew up alone so the idea of being close to family is foreign to her. Never truly felt wanted by anyone until she found Lucanis and that took a bit of work to understand and work through. She doesn't understand why Lucanis feels the way he does about Caterina and Illario, but doesn't question him about it.

Attractiveness: 5/10 I'm a little biased and would say she's a 10/10, but from her perspective, she's has issues finding herself attractive. Her body is littered with rough looking scars that she constantly hides and feels ashamed of. Can very easily point out her flaws if asked.

Agility: 9/10 She's a rogue and stays in the shadows. Quick with a blade and even faster on foot. Surprisingly nimble and fast for someone who was underfed and chained for a portion of her life.

Sex Drive: 5/10 The number only gets on the board once she's comfortable with Lucanis. Before that? Absolutely not. Sex was often used against her so it's something she's associated with pain and misery. Although no room is safe in Villa Dellamorte once the gods have fallen.

ROUND 1, MATCH 64

Propaganda under the cut!

Lucio Morgasson

He's the villain in everyone else's route, and even in his own he's STILL kind of a dick. Like, everything bad he did before the game begins happens exactly the same, and it's only when he begins that he gets better (as in he regrets his actions and tries to fix it (it being a plague. He caused a plague because he wanted more power. (Spoilers: the plague killed the MC))). All the other romanceable characters still hate him tho so that's good. The one thing he's got going for him is that in one ending, he stepped down from being the count (idk about the other)

He literally caused a plague that kills thousands of people including THE PLAYER 😭 LIKE HE LITERALLY KILLS YOU DAWG

He is simply the worst. I'm pretty sure he purposefully infected his kingdom with the plague. He made a deal with the devil maybe. Gonna be real with you I haven't finished his storyline.

imagine a guy who is both incredibly pathetic and willing to screw over absolutely everyone for fun. lots of fun as a character, absolute dogwater as a partner

He has directly tortured or somehow harmed all the other romancable characters and every other route tries to kill the mc to take over their body, is also responsible for a plague that killed a large portion of his kingdom and *spoiler* killed the MC

I'll admit I haven't played his route but that's cause he's such a pathetic icky man that I don't think I actually can. And I pride myself in completing every route. I know people like their pathetic meow meows but I want to hit him with a brick

He acts as a manchild who needs someone to guide him through life and show him the difference between right and wrong when I'm pretty sure he's in his forties or fifties. He also abuses his power to do horrible things to people he's not in a romantic relationship with, which should tell you a lot about him.

He’s a selfish asshole who is the villain in every other route and he’s a punk ass bitch I wanna kick his ass so hard his skeleton disintegrates as he fucking deserves 

Dude, he SUCKS. He's the villain in every other route. He's a horrible husband, he forced Muriel to fight for his entertainment, he makes deals that he can't pay for. He threatens and pouts and is obsessed with people loving him. I've been with the Arcana since the very beginning and he wasn't meant to be a romance option, but the writers basically went with it because there was such a demand. So embarrassing to see Lucio fans being like Lucio did nothing wrong ever. Falling all over themselves to blame his mom or Nadia or Asra or anyone else for Lucio's selfishness and shitty behavior. It was peak uwu he's A BABY fan dementia that excuses all his shitty actions because nothing was his fault. The only sane Lucio fans are the ones that are like "he sucks so much <3 I can make him worse."

He's literally described by the devs as flaming trash. He is literally only nice in his route and the main antagonist (or at the very least a jerk) in every other route. he was a very bad husband to ex-wife. he is literally - and with 0 exaggeration- a plague upon the country he ruled. he's also a grown man who calls his fuck ups "oopsies" and honestly, i love him but that gives me the ick.

Cullen Rutherford

stupid racist cop creep whose fans cry about how hes "changed" and "you can't judge him he was addicted to magic drugs" nah he still chose to be a racist cop and abuse his power over innocent people and i hate him. the writers making him romanceable in da:i after how blatantly horrible he was in da:o and da:2 is baffling but i guess they had to appeal to the part of their audience who watch those "mafia boyfriend" videos on tiktok or whatever

He's creepy in origins, though still 100% willing to kill the female mage pc he's crushing on, as well as all the other mages trapped in the circle with him. He's the second-in-command in an even worse circle in 2, listening to and defending the increasingly obviously insane meredith until literally the end. He's one of the people still pushing for the circle system by inquisition, and yes he's going through withdrawals and working through the traumas of previous games. And to be brutally honest his was the first romance i took and while i don't remember much from it, its not worth all the girls going absolutely nuts over knockoff terrible alistair.

He's basically a cop who thinks being born a certain way can revoke personhood and by Inquisition still thinks mages are monsters to be controlled, not people. He gets a fairy tale cutesy romance that focuses on his personal struggles with addiction while showing absolutely no regard to the atrocities he committed and still thinks were justified. He can be romanced BY A MAGE and his actions and beliefs are just glossed over. He believes mages are 'not people like you (Hawke) and me', but if the Warden was a female mage he canonically had a crush on her and would deliberately hang around her despite the fact that he was her *jailer*. If that Warden romanced Leliana, there is war table dialogue in which he pesters Leliana for news of his 'former' crush despite her repeated statement that she doesn't want to talk to him about her. All this shitty behavior and lack of introspection gets swept under the rug by the game, not even giving the PC the chance to really challenge his beliefs. Like damn even Fenris could apologize when he lashed out due to past trauma with mages, and if anyone has a reason to hate mages it's Fenris. If you want an ex Templar hottie Alistair is RIGHT THERE. Tbh I know Cullen is a popular romance and I'm not here to tell anyone what they can or can't do or like in a video game, I'm just saying I think he is deeply undateable

Spends the first two games as an antagonist, fervently devoted to the cause of subjugating mages, then a bunch of "character development" happens off screen and the games treat him like he's completely reformed. However he's actions make it clear he still sees mages as dangerous and lesser. Not to mention if you romance him with an elf he doesn't pay your culture more than lip service respect like most of the devout characters 

He was a total villain in the first two games who was violently prejudiced against mages and uses one single bad experience as an excuse for it (a bad experience that is pretty much exactly what he in his job subjected graduating apprentices to, mind you, but this is never brought up). Now he says he's changed, but his words and actions say otherwise. He still distrusts mages, sympathises with the rebel Templars trying to kill them, and he never owns up to the terrible stuff he did and helped others do in the past two games. He totally knew what Meredith was doing and says he doesn't, and he still tries to defend her intentions. And you have no option to call him out on it. If you romance him as a mage, he angsts about how he might have seen you as subhuman in the past but NOW you're one of the good ones, and when you ask him if he'll kill you if you get possessed, he dodges the question. And the PC is written as being almost sad that she's a mage? Like 'can you love me despite what I am??' Also if Leliana romanced a female mage PC in the first game who is still alive, he asks her creepy questions about their relationship. Fitting considering his original purpose was to be creepy to the female mage Warden. 

I hate him and want to cause chaos. Plus his VA is an asshole.

Another great tag thank you so much @kmackatie!!

I will also go for my DA:TV Rook because I love him, your honour, look at him, he's a beautiful little sweet disaster.

He is a Crow and I have not forgotten what they did to Zevran soooo he's probably just glad to be out of there during the events of Veilguard, honestly.

Obviously, he ends up with Emmrich (who is the sole reason I was dragged kicking and screaming back into any sort of fandom participation), who I think would be a very steadying influence on him, as I don't really imagine he's had a lot of unconditional love or care in his life so far.

Saris is someone who believes strongly in his convictions and is willing to stand up for them which can come across as very direct at times. He also rarely had funds growing up, so suddenly having an influx of gold meant he spent it readily, generally on other people rather than himself. He has poor impulse control, but we're working on that, and I think by the end of Veilguard he was a little calmer and would take a moment to think before jumping feet first into situations.
