Fanfic: Love is a fire - Characters’ ages

So, in order to write my fic and make it as canon compliant as reasonably possible, I researched over the character ages as BNHA gives them but in a way that keeps into consideration the character's birthday (example: Natsuo in the manga is shown as having 3 and 4 age of difference compared to Fuyumi, that's because the first time he already had his birthday but the same couldn't be said for the second time, although Hatsume is also in the 1st year of high school, same as Midoriya and Co, her age is given as 16 as she already had her birthday).

As, in addition to the age they've in the fic, I listed all the calculation process as well as the age they would have in the manga, even who's not reading my fic might find this of some interest.

Characters’ ages at the start of this fic (30 December, which also means 2 years and 4 months before Midoriya and All Might meet in the manga):

Todoroki Enji (轟 炎司) aka Flame Hero: Endeavor (フレイムヒーロー エンデヴァー): 42 as he’s born on the 8th of August (Near Shizuoka). In the manga in May his age is given as 45.This makes him a little more than twice as old as Tōya. Other relevant facts about him are before high school his father died, at 20 he was already Number Two and that Tōya should have been conceived in spring when he was still 21, meaning by that age he had already married Rei. By how Rei is wearing a scarf on their first date, we can assume it was in winter. Quirk: Hellflame (ヘルフレイム), Height: 195 cm, Weight: 118 kg, Blood: AB, Favorite food: Kuzo Mochi.

Todoroki Rei (轟 冷) aka Himura Rei (氷叢 冷): 38. Canonically we don’t know how old she is. I assume she’s younger than Enji. Since Horikoshi usually makes wives much younger than husbands, I’ll assume it’s Horikoshi’s trend and that she is younger than Enji. I might be wrong. Quirk type: Ice (氷結 Hyōketsu).

Todoroki Tōya (轟 燈矢) aka Dabi (荼毘 Cremation): 19 but about to turn 20 as he’s born on the 18th of January. In the manga in mid-December his age is given as 23. Other relevant facts about him are that, in order for Tōya and Natsuo’s age difference to work Enji started training him at 3 and he started burning around the summer of that year with Natsuo being conceived on November of that year, that when he was 8 he attacked Shōto, that when he was 13, in December (or in January prior to his birthday) his flames turned blue, Rei snapped and was hospitalized and Tōya burned himself and ended up in All for One’s hands and comatose. He woke up three years after, likely when he was 17 or about to turn as such. Quirk: Blueflame (蒼炎 Sōen), Height: 176 cm, Hated food: Fish.

Todoroki Fuyumi (轟 冬美): 19 as she’s born on the 6th of December and, canonically, Fuyumi is supposed to be 1 year younger than Tōya which, considering the months in which they had birth, would mean if they’re born in different years, would make her almost 2 years younger than her brother (to be exact 1 year 10 months and 20 days). However the manga shows an image of her being an infant while Tōya is still learning how to walk. As kids learn to walk at around 1 year of age, I assumed they were born in the same year and are in fact only 10 months and 20 days apart. It fits with how in chap 187, in November, her age is given as 22. Quirk type: Ice (氷結 Hyōketsu), Height: 160 cm, Favorite things: Soap opera.

Todoroki Natsuo (轟 夏雄): 15 (last year of middle school - Corusan Middle school (凝山中学校 Corusan chūgakkō*) as he’s born on the 1st of July. Canonically… we aren’t sure of Natsuo’s age. In chap 187 he’s 19 and 3 years younger than Fuyumi, in chap 302 he’s 4 years younger than Fuyumi and 5 years younger than Tōya. However the difference might be explained by assuming that chap 302 took place before July, so neither Natsuo nor Fuyumi had turned 9 and 13 respectively, while we know chap 187 takes place around November so Natsuo has turned 19 but Fuyumi isn’t yet 23. Quirk type: Ice (氷結 Hyōketsu), Height: 181 cm, Favorite things: Sashimi, the sea,

Todoroki Shōto (轟 焦凍) aka Shōto (ショート): 11 (last year of elementary school - Corusan Elementary school (凝山小学校 Corusan Shōgakkō*) but about to turn 12 as he’s born on the 11th of January (Near Shizuoka). Canonically Shōto is 8 years younger than Tōya and, since he’s 11 this would place him at his sixth year of elementary school, which would mean he has more than 3 years before he would attempt the exam for U.A. High school. Quirk: Half-cold Half-hot (半冷半燃 Hanrei Han'nen), Height: 176 cm, Blood: 0, Favorite food: Zaru Soba.

Kurumada Untenmaru (車田 運天丸): 43 as he’s born on the 4th of March. He is 47 when he’s introduced in January, meaning he’s about to turn 48. Height: 180cm, Favorite things: Flowers.

Kamiji Moe (上路 萌) aka Burnin (バーニン): 21 but about to turn 22 as she’s born on the 18th of January. Canon states her as 25 in January, when Shōto and his classmates begin to work in Endeavor Agency, meaning she should be about to turn 26. This makes her 10 years older than Shōto therefore this would also mean she was 15 about to turn 16 when Tōya supposedly died, which places her at the first year of high school which, considering her line of work, was likely a Hero high school. Quirk: Blazing hair (燃髪 Nenpatsu), Height 169 cm.

Kidō (キドウ): Canonically we don’t know how old he is. Quirk: Traject (軌道 Kidō).

Onimā (オニマー): Canonically we don’t know how old he is.

Yagi Toshinori (八木 俊典) aka All Might (オール マイト): 52. Canonically we don’t know how old he is but he’s born on the 10th of June (Tokyo) and in chap 397 he says he’s more than 55 and in chap 304 that he had All for One for 40 years. According to the script for Episode 49 Yagi is 14 when he meets Shimura Nana and she likely passed him One for All before he went to Hero high school, which, considering he’s born in June, he started at 15 years and 10 months. Due to this I’ll say 56 is a good approximation and this makes him 10 years older than Enji. Other relevant facts about him are he was 18 when Nana died and, once he finished U.A. he moved in the states and came back in Japan when he was 23. 5 years before meeting Midoriya he got seriously wounded by All for One. In the canon of this fic, if it happened in April, it would means he was 49 about to turn 50. 5 years before being hurt, he accepted Sasaki Mirai as his own sidekick. Quirk: One For All (ワン・フォー・オール), Epithet: "Symbol of Peace" (平和の象徴 Heiwa no Shōchō), Height: 220cm (muscle form), Weight: 274kg (Before injury)/255kg (Muscle form), Blood: A.

Sasaki Mirai (佐々木  未来) aka Sir Nighteye (サー・ナイトアイ): 34 but about to turn 35 as he’s born on the 2nd of January (Tokyo). In the manga he’s introduced after October started and his age is given as 38. Other relevant facts about him are he was All Might sidekick for 5 years but their partnership dissolved when All Might got hurt by All for One. Quirk: Foresight (予知 Yochi), Height: 200 cm, Blood: AB, Favorite things: heroes, especially All Might.

Torino Sorahiko (酉野 空彦) aka Gran Torino (グラン トリノ): Canonically we don’t know how old he is but he’s born on the 28th of January (Yamanashi Prefecture). Quirk: Jet (ジェット), Height: 120cm (Currently)-200cm+ (Formerly), Blood: B.

Hakamada Tsunagu (袴田 維) aka Fiber Hero: Best Jeanist (ファイバー ヒーロー ベスト ジー二スト): 32 as he’s born on the 5th of October (Okayama Prefecture). In the manga he’s introduced in between May and summer and his age is given as 35. Quirk: Fiber Master (ファイバーマスター), Height: 190cm, Blood: AB.

Toyomitsu Taishirō (豊満 太志郎) aka BMI Hero: Fat Gum (BMI ヒーロー ファット ガム): 25 as he’s born on the 8th of August (Osaka). In the manga he’s introduced in October and his age is given as 29. Quirk: Fat Absorption (脂肪吸着 Shibō Kyūchaku), Height: 250cm (Fat form), Blood: O.

Nezu (根津): Canonically we don’t know how old he is but he’s born on the 1st of January 1 (Tokyo). Quirk: High Spec (ハイ スペック), Height: 85 cm, Blood: A.

Shūzenji Chiyo (修善寺 治与) aka Youthful Heroine: Recovery Girl (妙齢 ヒローイン  リカバリー ガール Myōrei Heroine Recovery Girl): Around 62/66. Canonically we don’t know how old she is but she’s born on the 4th of April (Tokyo). Age of retirement in Japan is currently 70 but I’m not sure if it applies to Heroes in BNHA, however, considering she was working as a nurse when Enji was in high school I’ll assume the youngest she could be back then as a teacher is 20 and which makes her age in canon range from 65 to 69 in the final arc. Quirk: Heal (癒し Iyashi), Height: 115cm, Blood: B.

Cook Hero: Lunch Rush (クック ヒーロー ランチ ラッシュ): Canonically we don’t know how old he is but he’s born on the 17th of June (Niigata Prefecture). Height: 160cm, Blood: AB.

In the manga he’s introduced in April and his age is given as 30. Other relevant facts about him are he started his work studies when he was 16, during summer, under His Purple Highness at Purple Revolution Agency, along with Kayama and Shirakumo. Quirk: Erasure (抹消 Masshō), Height: 183cm, Blood: B.

Shirakumo Oboro (白雲 朧) aka Loud Cloud (ラウド クラウド): Canonically he died at 17 during his second year of high school while he was at his work study and he was born on the 5th of May. This means his death happened by already more than 10 years ago, around October since it was short after the start of the new semester.Quirk: Cloud (雲 Cloud), Height: 187 cm.

Notes:

- In canon we only know that, according to "Ultra Archive", Todoroki Shōto went to Corusan Middle school (凝山中学校 Corusan chūgakkō). I assume it's actually an institute that has Elementary and Middle school and sent all the Todoroki kids there

- I didn’t get to read the interview, so take this with a grain of salt.

[silverselfshippingchaos]

[dorky-self-shipper] 🎫 here’s a gush pass :3 feel free to gush about whichever f/o you want, however much you want, then send this ask to 3 other selfshippers

Oh, my friend!!! Ahhh thank you so much for sending this in!! I have been a bit iffy because some things in my life have been piling up, but!!! I am so excited to dig into this!!! I really need a good gushing session haha!

Today's target for gushing hours with your girl Ash is none other than Yaag Rosch!

This ended up being pretty long, and is a mix of lore, screaming, keyboard smashes, his gorgeous design, and more screaming.

Saying that this man lives in my head rent free is an understatement. He is all I think about it. Honestly, I think it's funny considering Yaag's role in FF13. He's only around in the first game, and shows up in like five cutscenes.

Also. We get crumbs of him in the novels. More on that later. Back to the game.

All he does is "hey yall suck" "your lives don't matter" "uhh i need to kill you guys" "oh wait no i'm not evil" "*dies*"

But!!! He's very cool!! His character is so interesting to me. He's so driven to do whatever it takes, but beneath his actions, there's always an edge of hesitation. He seems like he comes off as so sure of himself, but... I'm not sure about that. Now, I can't say anything for sure because the writers hate him, I really liked those few moments where we get to see his actual thoughts.

For example, "Do you think we want to Purge our own people?!" And things like that where you see him question his orders. I feel like there's a lot of underlying hatred, distrust, and overall fear of the system.

Also, his development from "They aren't people, they're targets." to "I'll trust in your humanity." Gets me every single time.

Also don't get me started on his "if this is my punishment... i accept it." when he's bleeding line.

I am here to gush, not analyze. But both are happening anyway.

I feel as though he puts a lot of thought into what he says and how he acts, and I really do admire that.

For context, Lieutenant Colonel Yaag Rosch is this military higher-up guy. I remember seeing him for the first time and my jaw simply dropping. I know that these games have a history with hot villains. After all, I am an FF7 fan. I have seen the SOLDIERS, I have seen the Turks, I've seen Rufus. They're all hot.

There. I said it.

This intro scene gave us some damn good food. Like??? The silver hair??? The ponytail??? The scar on his forehead??? The overly dramatic speech about how the protagonists need to be eliminated??AJKLFNAWKJFNAWKLJFNWILEN.

(Also, I'm beginning to see the resemblance he has to Felix. I am a very predictable woman, aren't I?)

I am actually going to scream. He’s so handsome!!! His jaw!! His eyes are such a pretty color too!!! I wanna give him a kiss ahhh!! Especially on his forehead scar!!! He's so... woah.

Also, he has a really, really nice voice. Like??? WOW. I want this man to like. narrate my life. Here, lemme find some clips of him talking.

Here. Enjoy.

This one is a fan favorite as well.

It's not a Rick roll. I promise.

..... Unless?

Anyways, as time went on, I realized that he's actually such a deep and interesting character?? He gets done dirty by the writers and the game, but the potential he has makes me so excited!! There's so much material to work off of!!! Truly one of the more interesting villains the trilogy has to offer. Honestly, it's kind of difficult going through the second game knowing that he isn't there.

However, it's also difficult going through the second game because I??? Can't beat?? The goddamn boss fight??? I'm also playing on easy mode. I didn't struggle this much during the first game either. What the hell, Ash.

Back to the actual topic.

I'm gonna start off with his design before we delve into s/i lore and fun tidbits.

(His coat is so cool... Do you think he'd let me wear it? I'd probably waddle around in it because he's pretty tall and I. I am not.

He's around 6'2 (around almost 188 cm..? I think?), but take into account his boots too. Which means that normally he's slightly taller. That means that he's about a foot taller than me. That means that I'm pretty much the perfect height to bury my face in his chest. *screams*)

Talk about a kickass design. He's really cool to look at. Not only, uhm, *blushes*, but because of how cool his outfit is too! It does a really good job of portraying that "heyyy i'm super importtanntttt" energy that he has. He carries himself like he's the shit. And you know what? He is.

He's pretty professional. Minus the times he gets kinda pissed. The novels say, and I quote,

"They said he was the most straitlaced man in PSICOM - if you put serious and stubborn in a military uniform, you'd get Colonel Rosch."

And yeah. That basically sums it up.

Also, there's this scene where he gets all pissed and pulls out his sword and I'm over here like *insert debby ryan hair thing here*. I'm telling you, it's always the sword boys that get me. I'm sure you've noticed that by now. I don't know what it is but. It's a thing.

Oh!!! Oh!!! Speaking of the *tucks hair behind ear*, there's this one scene where he's chasing the protagonists. And he goes, "Clever, aren't you?"

*SCREAMS*

That scene is truly a masterpiece. Thank you for the good food, Squeenix. I remember having to take a moment to just pause and regather myself. Actually, I had to do that the first time I saw him too-

I wasn't alone at the time when he was introduced so I was just silently like "ohmygodhellosir ajrfnaklwenjklwenjklrn" but oh my GOODNESS.

My s/i works with him! She's pretty much his right hand woman. She always has reports and intel on all their missions ready to go! I find it cute how well they work together, be it for mission-related matters, or just when they're relaxing together.

Just like pretty much all of my other s/is, she's a raging academic and total nerd. In the first game, they basically live on this human paradise called Cocoon. It ends up not being so great because the gods want to murder humanity but anyways! Education is pretty much free and you can study whatever you're passionate about. That's why she has studied just so many things.

She's not exactly the type who aspired to join the military, but alas! Things happened. I like to think of it as a "heyyyy y'all needed my help once and then once turned to twice and twice to thrice and then i never left" type thing.

Oh, and then she fell in love with Yaag while she was there.

Her cheery attitude is a direct opposite to his, but they're also able to have some very serious conversations with each other. I love their dynamic so much! Also, he can get a bit softer when he's opening up to her and,,, Soft Yaag??? Hoo boy.

Her motives and beliefs tend to align a bit more with the Cavalry branch, but i feel as though she fits in better with PSICOM. Also, the book describes the soldiers to be a bunch of dumbass dorks and just the thought of her smiling and cracking jokes with all of Yaag's men make me super happy.

Oh and she gets a cool uniform too! Because I said so.

Now, they've known each other for years by the time the end of the first game rolls around. They're happy together, maybe even engaged! It can go one of two ways here. He either dies or he doesn't.

I like adhering really closely to canon with my ships (*laughs in genesis angst*) but I also think it would be a blast if he were to survive.

In the novels after his death, some recordings of his are found. It's basically him talking about how the government sucks from the inside. A character finds these and reveals them to the public to get rid of the old government and an invite a newer one that actually cares about the people. However, it's never quite stated how he got those recordings. And that's where Ash steps in.

She brings them to his attention and helps him out, but then returns to live with the rest of the remaining soldiers in that camp they set up in the second novel. They all look up to her as a leader-type, which I find is really funny because she doesn't exactly have the qualifications? She worked with PSICOM, but was never exactly a soldier. But hey, it's right after the world (quite literally) fell apart, I don't think that anybody cares about that.

Also, there's another chapter where Snow ends up visiting, and she has a friendly chat with him!!! She helped out the protagonists a little bit near the end of the first game, so they have a slight idea of who each other are, but that doesn't exactly change the fact that she fell under the category of villain for a lot of it, despite not actually being a bad person. I also think that their dynamic would be fun. Snow also just makes me really happy LMAO.

I think that this version of Ash is really fun just because of how much the experience hardens her? She spends a lot of time grieving. Also!!! Whether or not she makes a cameo in 13-2 (maybe near the ruins early game?) is totallllyyyy up to you hehe! I think it would be neat for her to talk to the protagonists of that game, especially since Yaag was the one who orchestrated the Purge and at the ruins, there's a huge monument of the names of people who were killed there.

Also, whether or not she has a son here is up to you. I like to think of all my ideas all happening in alternate timelines so everything I want can happen without stepping on other events? I imagine their child to have Yaag's pretty silver hair with Ash's brown eyes.

Also, 13-2 is about time travel so like. The protagonists meeting their child in the future when he's all grown up? Good stuff.

But hey, in the main timeline she's alone after Yaag's death. She helps the other characters. I also think that in time, she does work for the Academy? I mentioned that she's pretty nerdy earlier, so that definitely helps out. She's super cool!!! Such a badass!!!

Now, on the flipside of things, what if he survived? Then what happens? shameless self promo

Yaag still has those recordings, and they do still reach Captain Rygdea. They both live in the small village that the remnants of PSICOM created. It's a sweet life. Are fankids a thing in their future? Yeah, probably.

I feel like Yaag would be a really good dad. I headcanon that he has a very strong relationship with his own father as well. He's caring and stern, but also knows when to turn down the serious scale. The novels also say that he likes kids!?!?!? I know I've screamed about this point like 24892 times on my blog. But.

It's so cute??? Who would expect this super serious and mean man who quite literally says that the protagonists aren't people, they're targets to like children of all things???? It really is my favorite thing ever just because of how cute it is. I also have a few tiny cousins in my family, so him playing with them makes me very soft too.

("Would you please stop tugging on my hair- Ash, this is not a laughing matter!" "Oh, but it so is.")

I think that detail really helps hint at him having a more gentle side? And I adore that.

Also, I mentioned how Snow pays a visit to the PSICOM camp after the events of the first game? I think that would be very interesting with Yaag there because before Yaag dies in canon, Snow says, "Stay alive. We'll see you when it's over."

And now he finally gets to see him. The conversation would get surprisingly deep and definitely dive into Yaag's motives and real thoughts about his actions in the game. I really enjoy the few interactions those two have in the game.

Anyways, now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's dig into the meat and potatoes of this ship.

In 13-2, they get a separate dlc side story just to themselves. Because I said so. I'm not sure how the plot of this works, but it's basically them exploring Gran Pulse together. Maybe to map things out? Maybe to get better acquainted with the world they thought was a hell their whole lives? Maybe there's some sort of big mission they have to do? We'll figure it out.

Basically, it's a whole side story of them exploring and kicking monster ass together. The combat is regular 13 combat.

Yaag has his sword along with some explosives (we see him carry some grenades at the end when he blew himself up). And Ash also has a sword because I like swords.

In the game, usually only l'Cie, or magic god slaves, can use magic. However, after the fal'Cie (magic gods) go poof at the end of the end of the first game, some normal humans can use magic? It makes no sense and exists only for plot convenience, but I'm not complaining because it makes my plot easier too.

My point is, Ash can use magic! Because A) she's quirky mage material B) we need a balanced team C) Every single version of Ash so far has been a mage. D) I like magic a lot. Would be my go-to as well.

Also, if you're interested in how they work in battle, roles divide up very nicely between them.

Yaag has: -Commando (physical attacks) -Sentinel (beefy tanks) -Sabuteur (debuffing enemies)

Ash has: -Ravager (magic goes brrr) -Medic (i think you know) -Synergist (buffing allies) -Commando (physical attacks)

Maybe Yaag could get medic too to balance off the load in battle? They're a blast in combat because they really do compliment each other.

Anyways, back to the adventure.

It's the two of them traveling around. The main focus of it is their conversations as they travel. There's a lot of fun banter. Ya know how like when you're walking around in Naughty Dog games and your characters are just chatting? Yeah. That.

Their conversations are super random and they cover pretty much every single topic ever. They go from really serious to them just being stupid. I love their friendly banter.

Also, when they set up camp and are about to sleep, we get to see sleepy Yaag in action. And do you know what that means?

It means we get to see Yaag with his hair done a bit looser, maybe even down!!! Yaag with his hair down is all I want to see. It's what we deserve. It's what we need. The day that I see Yaag with his hair down is the day i achieve true happiness LMAO.

It's what we need.

Ash playing with his hair??? Yes, I most definitely think so.

Oh and there is totally a "Yaag, I'm cold." "Allow me to help remedy that. *pulls her closer*" type moment because they're cute like that.

All in all, their travels are really fun. Maybe somewhere around there they run into the protagonists? Either from the first game or the second game. I think that would be a fun mess.

I feel like Yaag can show a softer side of him around her and that makes me really happy. He deserves to be happy and I love him very much.

I think about him all the time, and just the thought of him holding me makes me so happy. He really is just adorable.

Before I wrap this up, I have a few more things I want to speak about! Firstly, allow me to share one of my favorite pictures of him because oh. my. god.

*screams*

The urge to backhug him!!! Ahh!!! He's so cute!!!! I just wanna hold him aelajflanef.

One of my favorite pre-relationship moments from them is this one time where Yaag is pretty down in the dumps, and Ash is talking to him about it and offering her advice. And as she talks, she gently places a hand over his (they're seated side by side btw). He looks up at her in shock, and she takes back her hand is like, "O-oh! I'm so sorry, I should've asked first, I just thought tha-"

And then he just snatches her hand back and gently holds it. You can see the tips of his ears burning red haha! I think that they're pretty cute ajfwnjklef

She always tries her best to take care of him, too! He needs a hug, and she is more than happy to provide. She always tries to remind him to eat his meals on time and such, even if she can be questionable at following her own advice at times. She can also be a bit of a tease sometimes, so he can get pretty annoyed (not really, he thinks it's cute) sometimes.

However, he also does his best to take care of her. Would he pull the "that's an order." card after she refuses to rest, pulling several late-nighters for work? Yeah. Probably. He's very caring, even if he can come off as very serious and scary sometimes.

To wrap things up, I love Yaag Rosch.

Thank you for your time.

-------- 

Miss Tsunami Sawada a, probably, half Wutainess woman who moved to Midgard around 1997 in February. The exact date is unclear. She had short, light brown hair always up in a braid, light skin, fit body and amber coloured eyes. 

Miss Tsunami Sawada was a person under a lot of suspicion when she applied for one of the secretary job in Shinra. With the war going on with Wutai a lot of people in Midgard was rather superstitious against anyone with wutainess-ish features. It didn’t help her that she had an accent.

Martial Artist have been the one to supervise her and he could sum up her life pretty well after shadowing her for a little more than a year. She was boring, and lived a fairly normal life. Which in this case was not good for her. She had a routine and stuck to it. She would wake up in her apartment in sector 4 at 4:30, do a few stretches and then go for a morning run for about an hour. She makes a cup of coffee which is done by the time she exit the shower and eats breakfast. Takes the train to sector 1 and the the bus to Shinra and begin her shift at 7:30 to 17:00 before going home to make dinner. After that she is either reading a book or drawing something before going to bed. 

She didn’t talk much to her collages, whatever it was because of the stigma against her or because she didn’t feel like making friends he couldn’t really make up. But he guesses that it’s a combination of the two. On the weekends she shops her grocerys and go out to drink in one of the more quiet bars. The only interesting thing happening in her life are the poker night every other saturday in which she utterly destroyed her competition. He even joined in once and lost. By Shiva, she is worse than Vald behind that poker face of hers.

“So, you’re evaluation of her as a threat is Orange? Interesting, what makes you think she deserves this rank?” Veld commented as he re-read the lines of the report on their target. 

“She shows too little for me to be able to accurately rate her. She either is a really boring civilian with a form of martial art training or a highly trained sleeper agent. I’ll likely never get a accurate rating of her unless I get close to her or she enters a situation where she has to break her cover,” Martial artist felt irritated by it. Knowing there was little he could do unless she made a mistake. That is if she even was a spy. She could just be a civilian which chose to move here to get away from the war. She is likely half wutainess and could have faced a lot of stigma over in her own country too. 

“I see. I will hold her back from getting any higher acces then she already does. Do you still feel up to continue watching her? or will you be going for a more personal approach and meet her in person? I knew you play poker with at times M.A.” M.A. shrugged, it was a breach in protocol, but not something that will get him into any trouble. He already was a regular at the bar long before she began playing in it so nothing would look out of order.

“I was thinking about it, is it acceptable?”

“You may proceed.”

21 Questions

I was tagged by @carmenonmonday (Thanks by the way. It was very sweet of you to tag me)

1. Gender - Female

2. Height - 168 cm

3. Zodiac - Pisces

4. Last Movie I Saw - “Shoplifters” Its probably not everyone’s cup of tea, but I highly recommend. Its heartwarming in a very strange way

5. Favourite musician - Im really bad at answering “fav anything” questions, because I change my mind like 5 times a day. But Im in a strong Artic Monkeys fase, so lets go with that. Oh, and Beyonce because she’s the Queen of the Fucking World 

6. Favourite Actor - Again, really bad at the whole favorite thing, but I love Marion Cotillard and she was the first one that came to my mind. 

7. Favourite fanfiction - I swear its not because she tagged me, but @carmenonmonday‘s Merci Verse is unbelievably good, as well as we've got younger faces than our hearts are letting on  (I actually don’t know which story I prefer, tbh). She just writes the characters so well and really takes you on a journey where you’ll feel every emotion possible. 

In This World Of Ours by @dierdele​ (I mean, its impossible to ship Eric and Dele and NOT love this fic sorry, I dont make the rules)

Special mention to the Souls on Fire / GeneratioNext Verse. I didn’t really follow German football until I started reading this, but I was completely hooked by this complex, huuuuge verse. If you love family fics as much as I do, then you can’t miss this one (Steno and their twins are the best).

Also loved Can't Help Falling In Love With You  and @clarespace​ does established / canon-compliant really, really well in that’s life, innit? 

8. Favourite Movie - “Moulin Rouge”. There are better movies out there; stories that moved me more, really made me think etc, but this is my comfort movie. I’ve watched it a million times and I know I’ll watch it a million times more 

9. Favourite anime - Sorry, not my thing :/

10. Play an instrument? Sadly no. Im super uncoordinated and have zero sense of rhythm 

11. Random Fact? I once won a contest where I got to go on the pitch during half-time of my team’s game (Sporting CP), meet the mascot, try (and fail miserably) to score a penalty only to receive a watch in the end. It was wild and awesome, specially cause I loved, loved, loved meeting our Mascot. He’s the best (Google “Jubas” and you’ll see what I mean)

12. Lucky number - I don’t really have one. Im not superstitious at all

13. Do you get Asks? Not really. But Im not super active in here, so It’s to be expected (its always a pleasant surprise when I get tagged in this things, though)

14. Favourite fandoms - I know its weird and it makes zero sense, because the two couldn’t be further apart but: Football and Royalty 

15. Favourite Song? Again, it changes constantly - but It’s Quiet Uptown, from Hamilton, is one of the most beautifully sad things Ive ever heard and always manages to touch my heart (and Im watching Hamilton this summer, so the entire soundtrack has been on repeat lately)

16. What am I wearing? Pijamas 

17. Hair Colour - Ginger (im naturally a brunette, but that was just a genetic mistake - I should have been born a ginger, so I’ve been dying my hair for years)

18. Eye Colour - Brown.

19. Hobbies - watching sports and suffering, obviously - mostly football, but also tennis or anything where Sporting CP has a team; photography; cooking 

20. Favourite weather - Spring 

21. Favourite superhero - Im really don’t like superheroes, sorry (but if it helps, I saw a few Spiderman movies with my friends, back when I was in high school, and didn’t completely hate it) I tag @category-5-harry-kane​ and @norwegianroyalfamily
