[garregmachmatchups]

regular matchup!

hi mod iva !! congrats on the new blog !

i’d like a regular matchup if you don’t mind

i’m a bi trans guy with a preference for boys. i’m 5'0 tall and just wanna be held against a big strong chest y'know…….

some personality junk: i get flustered really easily and often get made fun of for my inability to function around attractive people. my mbti type is intp! my exterior kinda lends to really blunt, intimidating person but i care really deeply about people and am an emotional little weenie when it comes to things/people i love. my love language is acts of service and i’ll bend over backwards to help somebody with anything! i recently went on meds for my mental health issues so i think my funny, carefree nature is finally poking through the depression and paranoia.

one time my entire class started freaking out over me talking to them and complimenting them….. they thought i hated them and were shocked that i didn’t at all :‘3..

interests: i am jus a liddol punk boy.. thas all.. i cannot change this. but really i genuinely am super passionate about rock music and punk subculture! i’m also super into horror everything, whether it’s visual art, movies, music, etc. my main hobby is art, i usually do portraits filled with lots of symbolism and macabre elements. i’m going into education as a career bc i care a ton about students and want to improve the system…

more specific loves of mine are flowers, fishies, and dogs!

i also.. prefer to eat bland food… i cannot handle spice or intense flavor :'3

UUH I FEEL BAD THAT THIS IS SO LONG.. thank u very much and good luck with the blog 🙇

Hi! Thank you so much for your request!!!❤️I’m really sorry this matchup took so long to get to, but hopefully, you’ll like it (btw you are so talented like wtf??? I was shaken to the core) Anyhow, your match is...

Caspar Von Bergliez!!!

Let me get this out of the way first, I know Caspar isn’t much of a hunk pre-time skip, but POST-time skip, now those are muscles my dude, but I digress. Caspar is a very easygoing guy, albeit hotheaded. No matter how awkward or strange a person may be, Caspar won’t hesitate to approach them. If there’s someone who wouldn’t be daunted by your intimidating mien, it’d be Caspar. Just like Caspar, you care a lot about people. While you express this through sentimentality, Caspar shows it through his sense of justice and love of fighting (the irony). By virtue of the importance he places on justice, it’s only natural that he’d want a partner with the same set of values, such as yourself. That being said, considering how reckless and headstrong he can be while “executing justice”, he also needs someone who won’t egg him on but instead calm him down or make him reconsider his actions before going through with them. So overall your shared feelings of sympathy for people, as well as his rashness and your rationale combines would make for a good balance between the two of you. In addition to what I’ve just mentioned, because of how eager Caspar is to step in and help people, whether that’d be by defending someone, or helping someone with their chores, as seen in various of his supports, I'd argue his love language is also acts of service. Caspar mainly focuses on defending the innocent and enjoying life, so he’d definitely encourage you to be carefree and funny, and would probably unintentionally be an enabler of sorts at times, his more laid-back lifestyle eventually rubbing off on you. It’s difficult to say whether Caspar seldom feels depressed or not, but what is apparent is that he encourages people to live their best life and stay true to themselves, in your case, to fight and free yourself from your depression. As we all know, Caspar is the second son in his family, so as he himself puts it he has to carve his own path, thus he’d probably be very very supportive of your desire to improve the education system, whether that’d be by granting better access to different opportunities, or equipping students with the skills needed to succeed in life.

Headcannons:

If you were to get flustered around Caspar because of his looks, well you’re in luck, he’ll probably never figure it out, he’s denser than a rock :D (yay?).

It’s probably for the best that you be as blunt as possible with Caspar, in regards to, like, everything, especially when you’re trying to flirt or something of the sort, if not, it’s gonna be a hella awkward and mortifying experience (I'm cringing just thinking about it).

Perfect height for you tbh, pre-time skip he’s kinda short, but taller than you, and post-time skip he is taller and much more muscular. 

Also, be careful what you wish for. As much fun as it is to spend your days held against a big strong chest, he might get overly enthusiastic and crush you in a hug with his muscles, just mentioning this as a precaution.

In all seriousness, he might not initiate any type of physical affection on his own, but once you do, he’ll very gladly reciprocate it.

It’d probably be a bit jarring when Caspar first approaches you, like you’re used to people being a bit wary of you, but Caspar would probably immediately ask you if you want to spar with him and afterwards asking you if you want to have lunch with him or something like that.

Caspar may not be the most clever, but he is definitely one of the most heartfelt people out there. Once he knows how much you struggle with you’re mental health he’ll be the most supportive boyfriend you could ask for. You might need to clarify some stuff for him, but he’ll always try his best to help you. And when you start showing your funny and carefree side, Caspar will be the find your jokes the funniest and your joyfulness the brightest.

In another life, Caspar would also probably be a little punk boy (and a metal fan as well, he’s definitely the type to enjoy screamo lol)

A lot of people might be put off by horror stuff, but Caspar would probably just find it intriguing. He’d probably not understand the nuances behind it, but if it makes you happy, he’d support you to the best of his abilities. 

He is ecstatic that you want to improve the education system, and he is always so proud to tell others about your career (maybe a bit too much lol).

Caspar likes animals as well, together you’d take on the responsibility of caring for all of the stray cats and dogs in the monastery. You are also notorious for adopting animals. Like who needs children when you’ve already got a big family of your own amirite?

You two are always willing to go the extra mile for each other in whatever situation, and you never miss the chance to help each other out. Whether you two declare your love for each other often or not, it’s when you are willing to do anything for one another that you realize how in love you guys are.

Other matches: Ferdinand von Aiger, Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd

Hope you enjoyed the matchup! If you feel like you weren’t portrayed correctly/I misinterpreted your information let me know and I’ll make the corrections!

AMA Transcript: touch cats shut up

For our next AMA, @makapedia and @sojustifiable (Amanda on Discord) stopped by to chat about their Resbang, i've got a touch aversion and a stray cat that says you should shut your mouth. Here’s some of what went down:

Q: Why Fruits Basket!!?

makapedia: Aaaaa. So I think I was hanging out at madi's place? And we were just lounging around watching anime and she put on fruits basket and I was like... you know, hm. And then I had a rewatch with Pere weeks later and we were watching through and I just thought it'd be fun and nostalgic.

Q: What was your favourite scene to write?

makapedia: My favorite scene to write was uhhhhh... I think it was one of the last scenes? When Soul's in his true form (tm) and Maka's trying to convince Soul to come home because I really do just like writing scenes where characters are coming to terms with their feelings and stuff. Or the scene where a moth flies into Soul's face.

Q: Was there a scene that was really hard to write, and if so, why?

makapedia: The hardest scene was literally any scene with Death the Kid because I am SO BAD at writing Kid but I really wanted to get better. And he played a big part in the fic and I really didn't want it just to be a ship fic.

Q: I've never seen Fruits Basket but I still really enjoyed the fic! Was there like a specific 'Fruits Baskety' mood or tone you were going for?

makapedia: Ooooh! So, Fruits Basket really comes off as very light hearted and fun but there's a lot of sad darkness in it too. I wanted it to be funny but also have some heart to it too.

Q: Any parts of the story that you'd planned one way and changed as you wrote??

makapedia: I struggled a lot with the Medusa scene because I wasn't sure how I wanted to handle it or how long I wanted it to go on and how I was going to write Maka through it. The biggest struggle was writing Maka as Tohru because while Maka has a lot of the same heart and caring parts about Tohru, Tohru will just give and give and give and she's such a pushover. Maka will literally knock someone's teeth out if they cross her friends, so it was hard for me to not have Maka just throw down.

Q: What was your favourite character to write? Because your Free was bomb.

makapedia: Soul was my favorite to write I think? Because I didn’t get to write as much of him as I'd hoped and there was a lot more I wanted to cover with him. But Free was super fun to write. And his bad fashion sense.

Q: Amanda, how did you decide which scenes to art for?

Amanda: I knew first thing I wanted to do a cat Soul, even just knowing the concept before I even read the fic. Especially when Kat described her image for cat Soul.

makapedia: Cat soul with the flowerssssssss. So cute.

Amanda: The other scenes I guess just popped out at me and I had a specific kind of feeling I wanted to do.

Q: Amanda what was your favourite piece to draw?

Amanda: I think Soul in the garden was the most fun to do, partly because it was the first piece I tried in that style and I had no idea how it would turn out and it was very freeing to paint without a sketch or masking. And the layering with the plants was really fun and I was happy with how it turned out.

Q: Do you have a favorite chapter Kat?

makapedia: I like the later chapters more than the beginning chapters. I had a hard time establishing things and getting the ball rolling there for a while, but once I found my groove things were just easier to write. I really like just writing characters falling in love but I hate writing like the awkward beginnings.

Q: Any beta shenanigans you would like to share? ;P

makapedia: Anytime I wrote the word "silly," Silly commented with an emoji. Maka living in a tent was interesting because Amanda had some comments about washing laundry and stuff. It was very useful.

Amanda: I know that tent life intimately.

Q: I really loved Sarah turning your innocent sentences into innuendos.

makapedia: YEAH. SARAH. She giggles about it every time.

[some examples]

Q: How was it making somewhat-subtle references to Soul's weenie for the whole fic?

makapedia: GOD. So like, in Fruits Basket Tohru definitely sees like everybody's animal form. She definitely accidentally disrobes so many characters but in this fic I like... forgot to do it... so instead it was just a lot of naked Soul. But it was fun???? to write naked Soul I guess, and Maka just really traumatized and constantly reminded that she's seen the thing.

Q: I also really enjoyed Stein!! Were there certain Dog qualities you wanted to emphasize with him?

makapedia: He always announces when Soul climbs in the window, as dogs do whenever somebody enters the home. Gotta bark. He's a big snoot dog. Long.

Q: Was there any character you wish you could have explored a bit more?

makapedia: Ohhhhhh. Well... Eruka, since she only appeared at the end. Black*Star too because he's technically Kagura in this AU? And Free. I feel like I could've done more with Stein, too. But he was super hard for me to write.

Q: Do you have any dialogue that you particularly loved?

makapedia: Ohhhhhhh. I mean aside from "bitches love piglets," I had a lot of fun writing Soul and Kid bickering. And Kid like, flicking water at Soul from the sink.

Amanda: I really wanted to do some piglet art but my health was not great.

makapedia: Yeah, you poor thing.

Q: Bitches love piglets was so delightful, I remember startled-laughing at that one.

makapedia: In our hearts we all know what tiny blue piglet star looked like.

Q: Was there anything left out of the final draft?

makapedia: SO MANY THINGS. I had a lot of jokes I wanted to write, a lot of scenes that I wanted to write, a lot more bonding and middle stuff that I just didn't have the time for. Closure for Liz's conspiracy theories. I have a bullet point on here that is just… "laser pointers." Unfortunate that that one didn't make the final cut.

Q: Did you have a joke doc this year?

makapedia: I did.

Q: What’s next on Kat’s writing adventures?

makapedia: Next on Kat's writing adventures is............ hopefully the 2nd part of my 2 part smut fic that is not yet smut. And sequel, yeah. Probably an update to mermaid AU and Not Lovers.

Q: My favourite part honestly might be how twilight reference started in the beginning as an aside and then it just kept being relevant the longer it went on.

makapedia: It was totally supposed to be a one-off joke but the more I wrote, the more it worked, and so I just ran with it. Also on the 'outline': Soul knocks things over when no one (Maka) is paying attention to him. Liz is increasingly convinced that Kid is secretly a vampire and that is what his big secret is and Maka doesn’t know how to break it to her that the dude’s a rat.

- Tries to get him in front of mirrors to prove her point

- Eats garlic bread and then gets in close with her garlic breath

- Liz’s conspiracy theory (™)

"I’ve got shivers so bad my nipples could key a car” AT SOME POINT PLS USE THIS GOD" Apparently this was an important line that never happened. Rip Black*Star.

Also this meme: http://makapedia.tumblr.com/post/162601390488/someuphillbattle-pussifoot

Q: What was the writing process like, kat?

makapedia: Uuuuuuuh. Sooooo I don't outline, even when I should. So most of it was just putting on a playlist, thinking about what still needs to happen and then word vomiting into a google doc for two hours until something sticks. Except I didn't really have a real official playlist for this fic, I just listened to a lot of after laughter and my 90's alt playlist on Spotify and hoped for the best.

Q: Hardest character to write?

makapedia: Medusa was the hardest by far.

Q: How did you decide who was gonna be who? Were some people easier to match up with certain animals than others?

makapedia: The main three were the easiest to match up for sure. And then Black*Star as the boar just sort of fell in place because man, who else would stick to Soul like glue like that? Pere and I had many Discussions about the match ups. I did make a spreadsheet.

Q: What made you decide to have spirit in the zodiac? It's a huge change!

makapedia: YEAH. Yeah. I mean, if you go by like... characters... he's the best Ayame. But also he's Stein's friend. But yeah when I decided I wanted Spirit to be Ayame I knew I had to change up the rules of family a bit. Please no cousin marriage.

Q: It's kind of an interesting folding of Maka into their little body of weird. I liked it and am hype to see it play out

makapedia: Yeah! The more I wrote it and thought about it, the more fun I had with it. I like writing AUs of things but I don't really... like making them just copies? with characters in their roles, so it was a fun way for me to change it up.

Q: Is there a Wes?

makapedia: Wes is/was supposed to be Soul's guardian, but Wes ALSO DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT. I really like Resbang because it makes me finish stories but I also don't like it because I want to do so much more than I can fit.

Q: Please tell me the school play will make your sequel. AND THE FAIR.

makapedia: It has to. I also still... want to write New Year’s.

Q: I think the only real pairs were going to be soma, freeruka and sid/nygus right?

makapedia: I didn’t get to do that. I toyed with kidliz when I was plotting it out but I was going for aroace Kid in the end.

Q: kidxfriendship was great in this fic.

makapedia: He deserves good friends. Yeah, the whole time I was like ‘this is a soma fic’ but I still want Kid to be important in it. And I wanted his growth to be important too, like not as a side note. I realize now like… Kid... never became a rat. Which means Maka never hugged him and that is a Mistake on my part.

Q: I feel like I'm spoiling my review, but I really liked how you gave everyone different types of friendships that all worked, all felt realistic, and were all very touching.

makapedia: /rubs my grubby ace hands together. Thank u. A big part of it was like, me really wanting to write that platonic love is just as important as her romantic love too, just in different ways. And just because I didn’t write it as a love triangle doesn’t mean that Kid in particular wasn't important to her too, just not in a smoochin kind of way. I also really didn’t want to make it seem like she was picking Soul over Kid.

Q: What are you most proud of this Resbang?

makapedia: .... FINISHING RESBANG. I DIDNT THINK I WOULD, SO. Other than..... finishing... I think I'm proud that I actually wrote Kid and Stein because I am Afeared of going outside my box.

Q: Are you going to resboob again?

makapedia: Proooobably? Somewhere along the line I think I need to give my poor brain a break.

Q: I really liked the Kid/Maka dynamic in this. How did you decide where to go with that?

makapedia: I knew I wanted Kid to be the rat but I also knew I didn't really want to go down the love triangle path, so a lot of it was me exploring how a really important friendship can hold that same weight and make things hard for her because she really didn’t want to choose between Kid and Soul. When I was casting I had Soul as the cat and then I was like... well Kid has to be Yuki, there's no one else who could be Yuki. But it was interesting writing Kid and Soul not getting along.

Q: Was it hard keeping Soul in character but also making him Kyo-level angry? Because I feel like that would be hard for me.

makapedia: Yes, it was very hard. I had to like, balance him out into being kind of cranky angry as opposed to Kyo's Punchy angry. I don't find Soul particularly explosive, but I do think he is capable of a lot of anger. I had to find different ways to have him lash out. Boy can hold a Grudge. It was also weird trying to keep both Kid and Soul in character while making them hate each other, but I did what I could.
