read baizhu’s stories. he wins for most balanced character of all time

[hukkelberg]

full ask kept getting an error message so i'm seeing if splitting it up works.

this is obnoxiously long bc i am coping w s3 by thinking about pen in asoiaf-verse esp in light of asoiaf always providing v complicated family dynamics that bridgerton glosses over even tho the material is right there❤️ i am also offering a preemptive apology for harping on the arya/tyrion and pen parallels but i just love the thread between those characters of being the parent's (cat for arya, tywin for tyrion, and portia for penelope) least favorite kid despite being the most similar to that parent. okay so actually the tyrell turf is the reach (highgarden more specifically) - they managed to get out of the war of the 5 kings virtually untouched (aside from loras' death) but cersei is fucking them over despite the fact that they are allies in the last book released - i think marg (who would probably be best substituted by someone like daphne) is still being held captive by main westerosi religion's army (that cersei just. let them have bc that woman is genuinely stupid. that whole shame meme came from that same army also imprisoning her. she literally did not even consider that being a problem even tho no westeros king has ever let religious leaders have armies for that reason specifically). i stopped watching the show in s4 bc dany is my girl and by that point the final season had dropped so i saw no reason to continue given how they massacred her. decently sure the tyrells end up completely or near completely killed off in show but it was one of the really weird show decisions everyone hated and grrm had no hand in so the asoiaf tyrell fate is v ??? still. esp now that marg's dad knows cersei had his daughter imprisoned on false charges and is heading to king's landing to deal w it in a v anthony challenging simon to a duel way - anthony would be having an excellent time. his problem solving methods are hilariously well-suited to this world. all of that does sound like the bridgertons could manage it tbh? also wrt benedict i think he would be killed like loras - sorry benedict. genuinely no clue how he would be spending his time in this world. maybe he lives somehow and is then pen's househusband? the tully turf is in the riverlands, which are completely fucked by the war. i actually thought a lot about pen having tully ancestry since she has tully coloring (the red hair and blue eyes) but i didn't like it bc the tully house has extremely mediocre sigil + words which would be annoying to me personally. i do think portia being from the riverlands and ending up w a northern husband like cat could work tho. pen's family could be somewhat influential in that case but still looked down on by southern westerosi bc of their different culture and distance from king's landing. the north is also v fucked by the war so it would still fit. my other thought was pen's family being a kind of mormont equivalent - jorah fucked them over by racking up debt and then resorting to selling ppl into slavery and then getting exiled. sounds kinda familiar for the featheringtons. issue w that is that the mormont girls are known for being trained to fight bc the ironborn constantly bother them and that's not the vibe to me for pen's family? idk tho - faceless men do also receive fight training so it would be helpful later on ig. (1/3)

oh friend dont get me started on season 3 we'll be here all day (they're never gonna go where we want them to are they? Thats the mark of a goodbad show)

okay!! i got it, i just didn't know the name i was thinking abt the riverlands bc i remember seeing someone say how their position in the centre of it all means every army trudges past them and i was like lmao the bridgertons cannot hold that territory. i think margaery = daphne is inspired what i wouldn't give for daphne to be half as cunning as margaery. a terror for high society tbh. Anthony's sense of honour is sometimes medieval (#commentary not approved by a historian, please refer to jacques le goff or whomever for confirmation) so i think it fits in a way. this world is laxer in some ways which i think would loosen anthony up a little, but in a way which mirrors the more outwardly violent way of westeros (his temper shall be fearsome).

hear me out wrt ben: willas tyrell (if that's his name), the older one with the bad leg. Anthony is still the head of the house, but ben was apprenticing with the kingsguard or whateve, and he got in an "accident" (everyone is envious of the bridgertons as usual but here they actually do something about it) i think it'd be wonderful if he went back disabled and everyone was bemoaning it and he was like "this ruins my chances of marriage but at least i don't have to kill anybody" meanwhile COLIN is loras--super well loved, athletic and handsome. i suppose he gets killed. pen would most definitely get a crush on him like that, in that way sansa used to dream of knights and then. Well. If we go the penben route, which i am always happy to entertain, i think it'd be very cute if they reunite after she comes back and he's got his bad leg and ruined future and is so confused about why she'd want him when she's so grand and powerful, and it'd be a lovely role reversal.

re: the featheringtons i agree about the tully colouring but i don't think portia has the tully character. I personally cannot picture any of the featheringtons as northerners whatsoever, not even the mormonts. i don't think they'd last a day past the vale (thats where lysa tully is right? I've not been googling anything I'll have you know sjjdjd). My take is they're affiliated with the lannisters. I think perhaps featherington is a vassal lannister house, which drew portia in on reputation and wealth, which featherington immediately squandered and was probably disposed of by tywin, if he could be bothered to deal with the minor flies. then the wars started and he just let the featherington house to rot or sacrificed them or something. probably took their house etc. you can use that to forge a connection with tyrion, even.

these civil war memes are JUST as hilarious as the the wwiii memes were in january....

[flowerrpetaled]

( olivia holt, demi female, she/they, fire emblem: awakening ) * &. i know it must be scary for you, olivia after surviving the takeover. to turn into someone like orion “ori” monroe, a twenty-five year old clerk at amy’s, right here in castle town. just remember that you are as artistic as you are self-conscious, and to be wary, be safe, be true to who you are : neutral through and through. ( hylia )

                yes i gave myself awakening rights again bc this is,,, best girl,,, i love olivia sm n im so excited 2 write here bt like owain - all of u be warned bc i haven’t played awakening in a long long time so i’m bound 2 be rusty with her !! / tws : death , kidnapping ( ment ) , anxiety

BEFORE THE SNAP . /  O L I V I A

so OKAY. prior to the events of the game , Olivia was a dancer that traveled around the continent of Ylisse with a theatre troupe -  unfortunately , bc of her popularity , a plot to kidnap her into her career had been set into place , and the west khan of ferox basilio prevented it. this would start off their friendship , which would eventually lead to olivia’s involvement in the plegia-ylisse war. 

her involvement was firstly to rescue chrom’s army post emmeryn’s death , to where she escorted them back to ferox via a carriage convoy. and then afterwards , before facing off against gangrel , she joined chrom’s army as a dancer to invigorate and inspire troops ( aka , if you’re not familiar with the dancer class in fe , olivia’s ur only dancer in awakening and she can basically make ppl move twice one turn )

BTTTT YEAH that’s rly about it ?? my olivia’s not married 2 anyone in particular - kinda just leaving that open ( only flat no is chrom bc chrobin rights ) bt she has her son inigo n she loves him dearly !!

but okay so like ,,,, character-wise , olivia is graceful & considered a perfomance genius. she dances divinely & her singing is gorgeous - however , she possesses extreme stage-fight & anxiety as well as incredibly low self-esteem. she’s very sweet & kind & a lovely person , but she’s also ,,,, honestly this poor girl thinks so lowly of herself n modern-day olivia would probably be behind so many self-deprecating memes

poor baby is startled v easily by surprises and/or strangers - a lot of her supports help her find ways 2 cope with this in one way or another and some of them are ,,,, incredibly sweet ?? like. one of my personal faves is her support w/ stahl where he respects her comfort zone & communicates her with notes bc he knows olivia gets incredibly anxious around confrontation. virion also volunteers to teach olivia a dance from across a room i believe for these same reasons just to respect her comfort zone n it’s INCREDIBLY sweet

one thing For Sure is that her confidence raises as she performs - but almost immediately after , the adrenaline fades n olivia goes back to her shell - n that’s okay. i honestlyyyyy really love olivia sm bc like , i deal w/ a LOT of what she deals with n it was rly cool to see a character like me bc i uh. yeah im an anxious fucker.

i also always feel the need to explain myself n am incredibly shy n need assurance even if my actions were entirely valid.

bt yeah i’m so excited 2 write her n give ini his momma !! she’s my babie,,,, il uv her,,,,

AFTER THE SNAP . /  O R I O N  M O N R O E

SO ORI. ori is an interesting story in itself bc again in some ways it’s a lot of what i dealt with bt also,, you’ll see.

so i’m 90% sure she’s like. the third character i have born to famous parents bt ori was a case where she was the fourth child of a dancer mother, an actor father, and her siblings were performers + producers + directors and ori was expected to fill the same shoes.

however, she didn’t excel like they did - she didn’t excel and was always seen as the “odd one out” and the “disappointment” even tho she was just as talented as the rest of them. she just... didn’t get lucky in her career like they did, and her parents, instead of helping her or pushing her to keep trying, kind of just... used her as their token disappointment bc ig “every family has one” and all that bullshit.

so she was the one who led a more quiet life and for that reason couldn’t take the constant weight her family put on her to succeed when they already accepted she couldn’t. so that’s when ori moved out to castle town, just bc it was quiet and nice and off the map.

and also nobody... connected the dots. nobody saw her as the odd one out that didn’t fit into a family of celebrities. ori was just ori and while ori wanted to pursue her own things, she was made to feel comfortable in her own skin again.

still as shy as ever and definitely quiet & anxious, she’s an aspiring dancer but doesn’t really want to go onstage again just yet. she survived , so yes she remembers, but she’s more comfortable right now dancing in an empty room by herself than in front of other people. bt she’s defo choreographed like a hundred dances just by herself buuut she’s still gotten the “i’m not meant for that stuff” thing stuck in her head when she watches the dancers at ct centre of theatre & dance and she’s scared to audition for those reasons.

she currently works at the makeup counter at amy’s !! bt also on bad days she sometimes works in the stockroom instead w/ permission n it makes her feel better.

so she’s still,,, babie. n she wants to find inigo more than anything even tho she’s honestly scared he won’t remember her when she does : (

ANYWAYS I LOVE HEERRR IM GONNA HOPEFULLY START THINGS ON HER SOOOOOOOOOOn

7 ; 9 ; 13 ; 27 [ for zihao ]

describe them in three words. now let them describe themself in three words.

ADSKKFFJDF  easy…  helpless,  tireless,  and  resolute.  helpless  bc  have  u  seen  him…  why  is  he  like  that.  and  i  mean  the  unmanageable,  out  of  control  definition  of  helpless,  he’s  SO  difficult  to  influence  because  of  the  way  he  sees  the  world  +  others  so  all  he  has  to  rely  on  is  himself,  and  the  boy  loves  to  act  like  he’s  gucci  n  has  0  worries  which  reflects  on  his  actions  and  just  the  way  he  navigates  his  life  in  general.  he  loves  people,  but  they’re  very  disposable  so  if  u   think  u  telling  him  ur  opinion  of  him  is  going  to  help  him  change  for  the  better…  even  if  ur  the  love  of  his  life,  think  again.  tireless  because  that’s  the  core  of  his  character,  maybe  if  he  were  a  little  less  so  he  would  have  gotten  his  shit  figured  out  by  now  but  that  trait  is  just  engraved  into  him  by  nature,  and  nurture  has  led  him  here  so …  the  odds  were  just  against  him  hehe.  it’s  how  he’s  coped  though  so  that  counts  for  something  ig.  and  then  resolute  bc  jesus  christ  what  kind  of  person  can  live  the  way  he  does  without  a  reason  other  than  he  refuses  to  deal  w/  his  traumas  and  any  of  his  actual  problems  KJSDFJ???  like  yeah  he’s  not  really  using  that  trait  of  his  for  good  rn  but  man  is  it  powerful.  i  just  feel  like  that’s  central  to  the  person  that  he  is  and  explains  why  he’s  such  a  mess,  he’s  the  most  stubborn  person  in  the  WORLD.  all  this  for  such  a  dumb  reason  he’s  the  epitome  of  the  “i’m  going  to  make  this  way  harder  than  it  needs  to  be”  meme.  and  as  for  how  he  would  describe  himself…  sexy,  kindhearted,  and  lots  of  fun.  in  that  order.  and  i  have  decided  not  to  comment  bc  i  dragged  him  enough  already

do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?

no  he  does  not.  which  is  a  trait  that  really  comes  in  handy  since  he  moves  at  least  three  to  four  times  a  year  and  he  has  such  a  big  wardrobe  that  it’s  all  he  has  room  for..  that  plus  his  cologne +  skincare  is  enough  for  him  to  carry  from  city  to  city  he  doesn’t  need  to  go   getting  attached  to  any  dolls  or  plants  along  the  way  otherwise  he’d  be  dragging  five  suitcases  around  train  stations.  (he  doesn’t  read  so  not  even  going  to  mention  books  bc  they  just  make  him  sneeze.)   plus  he  doesn’t  decorate  his  apartment  so  he  doesn’t  have  the  chance  to  anyway.  even  his  attachment  to  his  clothes,  perfumes,  skincare,  etc  isn’t  bc  he  empathizes  with  them  or  anything  it’s  just  bc  he’s  up  his  own  ass  and  always  has  to  look  cute  or  he’ll  have  a  meltdown.  idk  he’s  never  really  been  the  kind  of  person  to  get  attached  to  non - sentient  things  even  when  he  was  growing  up  other  than   when  he  had  his  raver  phase  and  had  a  bunch  of  those  little  bead  bracelets  which  were  the  center  of  his  WORLD  until  he  stupidly  lost  them…  he  just  swears  he’s  a  minimalist  if  anyone  asks  why  he  doesn’t  care  abt  anything  n  just  throws  things  out  all  willy  nilly  as  they  say.  chances  are  if  anyone  ever  gifted  him  something …  he  doesn’t  have  it  anymore  DKJFJDF

name one thing their parents taught them.

u  really  said  hey  tobey  talk  about  zihao’s  trauma…  and  i  am   here  to  do  just  that.  one  of  the  main  things  that  his  dad  taught  him  was  that  we  love  others  too  much  and  it  RUINS  us  (not  directly,  obviously,  but  through  observation)  …  like  the  fact  that  someone  can  walk  into  his  life,  do  nothing  but  exist,  and  then  leave  and  it  could  make  him  lose  his  shit???  and  even  leave  a  mark  on  him  for months …..  YEARS  even???  the  fact  that  that’s  even  possible????  jesus  he  hates  it  DFJKFDJ  and  it  def  stemmed  from  the  way  his  mother’s  death  took  a  toll  on  his  dad,  zihao  really  hates  the  way  that  it  affected  him  and  never  wants  to  be  like  him  so  he  thought  hey  why  not  just  uhhhh  not  let  people  affect  me  that  way,  perfect  plan.  (even  though  i talk  abt  it  that  way  though  it  wasn’t  a  conscious  decision  skdjfd…  he’s  been  this  way  since  he  was  a  kid,  it’s  just  really  gotten  out  of  hand  as   he’s  gotten  older  bc  that’s  what  happens  when  u  don’t  deal  with  ur  problems  zihao)  since  he’s  him  though,  that  just  turned  into  him  not  valuing  the  people  in  his  life  like  he  could/should,  as  opposed  to  turning  into  a  full  on  hermit  or  like.  hating  everyone  bc  he  thinks  that’s  dumb.  so  yeah,  one  of  the  first  things  that  he  understood  about  human  nature  is  that  humans  themselves  are  the  biggest  threat  to  our  comfort/happiness  even  if  they’re  the  sweetest  most  amazing  person  in  the  world  (which  he  sees  his  mom  as)  bc  they  can  make  you  powerless  if  they  leave.  basically  does  everything  he  can  to  be  in  control  of  his  life  and  his  emotions  thnx  to  his  dad’s  lack  of  presence  in  his  life  and  borderline  neglect …  thank  u  for  that  zihao’s  dad  now  look  at  him.  on  a  lighter  note  one  time  he  taught  zihao  how  to  throw  a  baseball  when  he  was  six  so  he  would  shut  up  abt  it.  that  was  cool

forgiveness or vengeance (or…)?

hmmm  depends  on  who  it  is  that  does  him  dirty.  if  it’s  just  some  random  person  in  a  town  he’s  staying  in,  he  wouldn’t  really  care  enough  about  them  to  go  full  vengeance  mode  JSDKKJF  and  most  people  fall  into  that  category  so  yeah.  for  the  occasional  person  who  comes  into  his  life  and  actually  make  him  have  a  soft  spot  for  them  (aka  his  ship  verses  specifically)  if  they  do  something  that  requires  forgiveness  on  his  part…  sorry  chief  but  he’s  not  gonna  forgive  u.  he’s  the  kind  of  person  to  just  ignore  someone  if  they  piss  him  off  or  do  him  dirty,  and  just  distance  himself  from  them  in  general  but  act  like  it’s  all  good  which  is  really  ANNOYING.  you  have  to  do  something  really  horrible  for  him  to  feel  like  you  owe  him  an  apology  though  SKDJFJ  like  he’ll  playfully  act  like  he’s  hurt  but  to  actually  hurt  hurt  zihao…  u  kinda  have  to  go  ham.  and  i’m  sure  people  have…  idk,  at  the  end  of  the  day  he  doesn’t  really  care  enough  about  anyone  to  be  like   hey  i  need  revenge  or  hey  i  forgive  u ….  his  priorities  are  completely  fucked  so  his  relationships  with  others  is  the  least  of  his  concerns,  especially  since  almost  everyone’s  presence  in  his  life  is  temporary  anyway  so  like???  why  bother  when  he  can  spend  his  time  thinking  about  his  next  ig  caption 

[wattanvs]

hello squad fam, my name’s alex and i’m 18 and uhh , yeah! i’m excited to be here and i also don’t know what i’m doing at all ever so pls accept me :~) this is my girl achara who goes by the nickname bella, and she’s a total mess! she hates her life and she hates being in student debt and she hates herself so you could call her something of a… triple threat. HENNYWAYS please give her lots of plots and maybe force some love or more pain onto her

my girl here is a choreographer and has her own youtube channel

she started dancing at the age of five and tbh she’s been hooked since,,, to this day she remembers coming up with different choreography with her older sister and freestyling to any song she would hear

even though both of her parents pushed her towards college she absolutely detested it and was like no ?? that’s not for me ?? but eventually, like the slight pushover she is, ending up caving and going and majoring in dance, so tbh it wasn’t too bad of a decision bc she’s living out her life dream as a choreographer

the downside...she’s drowning in student debt rn pls help

( death, familial loss ) buuut two years ago she lost her sister in a car accident and when that happened she got really sad? she was soo close to her and relied on her for nearly everything, so once that happened she became very reclusive and hid in her room for days

until one day she sorta came to terms with it and just got out seeming like a whole new person, like a 180 degree change

became more upbeat and cheerful, makes herself the brunt of jokes just for fun

bella has 0 shame, gives 0 fucks, which makes her fun to be around ig

she’s the kind of girl who if u walked in on… while showering….. or whatever…… would ask u to join in

also the kind of girl who appears at all these bomb ass parties but disappears 30 min in bc she’s in a room asleep

she doesn’t even care she’s labeled as a “celebrity”...she’s honestly kinda confused?? like when a video of her dancing to her own choreo went viral she was like wtf bro that’s not even my best and ranted for like an hour why another video deserved it

100% a perfectionist but she’s such a sweet choreographer...if you ask her to choreograph anything for you she will make sure it’s the best okay

v v attentive and will make sure you get everything right but absolutely will not yell at you and will try to make you laugh if she thinks you’re getting frustrated

also calls herself a local meme enthusiast & there’s a 99% chance she’ll quote some type of vine during a conversation

but deep down despite all her stupid memes.. .. or whatever… it’s mostly a kind of coping mechanism to her? like she just really HATES feeling vulnerable so she makes up for that by being super outgoing to distract herself from thinking too much about her sister’s death

but she’s a Good Girl she really is, esp hates seeing people struggle or be in pain and would do as much as she can to help/defend them, which is why she often puts herself second and sacrifices a lot in the process

kinda hard to take srsly, but she gets annoyed pretty quick too despite how easygoing she is, so u’ll def know when she means smth is impt to her

at the same time people might get easily annoyed at her bc she might come across as someone who doesn’t take stuff seriously but it’s just bc she doesn’t wanna get too emotionally invested and hurt

so if you think you’re gonna have a heart to heart with her ... well, good luck charlie

isn’t afraid to speak her mind and voice her opinions, so uh if she despises u she will tell u and (sorta) make u feel like shit

if she’s not working she’s usually holed up in her room but sometimes she comes out n does nice stuff for her friends like leave random gifts (like dildos) on their doorsteps LOL (w notes that say: u need to get laid bro)

generally nice to be around?? altho she does stupid shit n would accept anyone’s dares in a second and seems like she has NO regard for her life

BUT she’s a funny girl and works hard

trustable 4 sure, ur secret’s safe w her

would make a friend in general despite everything FOR REAL she’s good for cuddles n making ramen and making you laugh

anw LOVE MY BBY PLS!!!! thank u babes i look forward to interacting w u all cuties

[stantcn-blog]

         henloooo. it’s you’re friendly neighborhood shitposter: chloe !! i like being sad and being on ym gay shit what is new !! i’m very excited to be here, and be with my baby boy STANTON ,,, and,,, ofc, the other two (i tried mumu once and i ,,,, did not like it. it’s not for me. but ! i’ve got @hclcnc and @warrvns !!). now surprise, he may look soft but he’s got a mouth on him, yikes ! but let’s not wait i’ll get right into it. i’m here to plot, here to hand out my discord if you’d like. whatever !!

timothee chalamet. — oh, have you met stanton king? he is a twenty-two year old cismale that is feeling casual about the planet’s imminent doom. a music store clerk, this aquarius is known around town as the the frivoller, because he is humerous & adaptable, as well as bone-idle & apathetic. hopefully, stan will survive.

in short: his junior year of high school, in one of his classes they asked him where his family is from (like heritage) and he said, dryly, the trash. 

a trailer park boy turned meme god !! does a lot of drugs !! fucks a lot of people !! is angsty and cares vvv little about anything !!!

but shh don’t tell anyone: through the jokes about dying and death he kinda doesn’t want to get blown to smitherines. you didn’t hear that from me there.

so,,, there’s a boy who has a little sister and surprise, dad ups and leaves when he’s like ?? six?? his sister was four. left the fam squad hanging and forced to live in shit place where he was pretty sure the place was going to cave in on itself.

his mother, a real class a mom here, kinda just wanted get out, drink liquor, and watch desperate housewives. so what did she do ??? well she married an insurance man ofc !!

not like rich rich, but he was p well off and when stanny boy was 12, they moved across the city to a nice n clean house that smelled like clorox and well

the hating began

life fucking sucks ass according to ya boy. his sister was a little shit and they did not get along. his mom didn’t give two shits about them. their dad left. his step-dad, martin, was fine though. he was alright. but stanton was angsty and shit and fuck martin, right??

we’ll just skip over trash high school and smoking weed and fucking girls at house parties and kissing boys under bleachers. we’ll skip over him starting to use his humor to cope with literally everything. we’ll skip over all that.

he graduated and skipped town to hawley. not very far from his town but a forty minute drive. enough to piss off from his family. 

ya boy got into conspiracy theories and p much just mooched off martin’s life support money. got high every day, listened to podcasts about how time isn’t real and the lizard people are coming. his mind was just being filled with absolute trash he wouldn’t need unless he was with his buddies and needed to spit it out.

but he  also ?? started developing ??? a substantial twitter ?? like it was mostly shit posts and his own gripes on the world but it had gotten really fucking popular and suddenly he was twitter famous. which was alright because, hah, ya boy’s a slut for attention.

right now, he works at a music store and uses his paychecks to buy more cassette tapes*, that wacky tobaccy, and shit he doesn’t need. but rent ! he can keep up w that.

idk he’s a piece of shit.

FUN FACTS ::

** when stanton was young, he found a box of old cassettes and a tape recorder. it was his dads, and he only knew that because he found a couple full ones with his voice on it. just memos or verbal diary or something. while stanton fucking hates his dad, he kept those few tapes of his voice in a little shoe box and started doing the same. a little verbal diary that he chimes into now and then. he carries his hand held one w him wherever he goes, but he has a nicer one at his place. w a little mic and everything. he’s got a lot of shoe boxes tucked away of his stuff since he was like,,,, ten.

he has two borbs !!!  saturn and venus !! bc space is cool ig. they’re the light of his life and probably the only things he’s soft towards. seeing him w his birds are a sight, let me tell you.

is very bisexual and does not give one (1) shit about it.

in fact, tends to have a problem blowing guys in the arcade bathroom but ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

has insomnia. rarely sleeps until his body literally crashes and burns. or he just smokes way way way too much and shuts down. he’s one of those people who thinks sleeping is a waste of productivity and while ??? he does nothing ??? productive ?? he doesn’t do it.

practiced magic when he was a kid. can still do some neat slight of hand tricks when he wants to. only usually does it when he’s trying to get laid. he’s a nerd.

is that bitch who says smoking is bad as he’s pulling out his pack.

uhm,,, shitposter meme lord pls leave him alone.

jk pls dont

CONNECTIONS IDK ??

he probably needs a roommate. sorry to whoever that is.

a dude bro squad for the love of god ???????????????? like three of four guys that put up w his antics and really they’re all just children together, popping pills and going out for wild night and riding trash cans down the street or laying in mcd’s booth at 3am talking about bigfoot ?? going to the arcade to try and beat each other’s pacman scores ?? idk dude bro shit man.

uhmmm,,, idk people he’s fucked ?? and fucked over. i mean that’s literally everybody so gosh sorry.

my tags don’t work but i don’t want to fix it bc i’m a Slut for aesthetics and they look nice, so for the wc tag, the only one that rlly matters, i made another tag to follow it that will work, but there’s only 1 thing there lmao

reall,y anything, he needs shit to fuck up !!

yeah... so... that’s my guy. he’s garbage. take him as you will. if you wanna plot let’s do that !! now onto my other two kiddos ... .. ..

[miyaio]

GEN RELATIONSHIPS MEME FOR FE8 OR FE9/10?? :D

finishing these up from last night!  gonna do fe8, since i have it on the brain atm

My favorite parent-child relationship

- ever since i wrote that one l’arachel/eirika drabble abt eirika coping w/her father’s death, i’ve been really interested in what fado and eirika’s relationship was like during peacetime.  they obviously had a strong bond, since seth physically had to pick eirika up and carry her away from fado at the beginning of the game.  i wonder, tho, if fado and eirika’s relationship was more like her dynamic w/seth (where she’s an idealized Lady whose agency he quashes while thinking he’s doing what’s best for her) or her dynamic w/ephraim (where he helps train her to fight and amplifies her voice b/c he knows she gets shot down a lot).  

My favorite sibling relationship

- forde and franz have a really under-rated dynamic, and i love how the very tight continuity in most of forde’s supports gives you a lot of different views of their relationship.  i like their take on an older sibling having to raise the younger in the wake of parental death, esp since forde doesn’t become a distant or overbearing figure to franz.  franz definitely idealizes him, but it’s more in terms of wanting to be like his big brother than it is desperately wanting the approval of someone who’s half-brother, half-father to you.  in a similar vein, i also love tethys and ewan for many of the same reasons.

My favorite family relationship (other)

- l’arachel and her uncle!  even tho he’s only in a few chapters, it’s really clear how much he loves and trusts his niece, and how much he means to her in return as a parental figure.  

My favorite friendship between two people

- ig i’ll plug ephraim + myrrh here?  they’re obviously going for a found family sibling dynamic (blessedly free of anything gross, as low as that bar is), and lifespan gap relationships are very interesting from a platonic angle, too.  i just like how sweet ephraim is to myrrh in their supports/on his route.

My favorite friendship between a group

- there are so many Layers in the relationship between the twins and lyon that ppl much more articulate and much better-versed in fe8 than i am have talked abt.  i love all the ambiguity of who lyon really was/is, how much of what we see of him ingame is formortiis and how much, even in the flashbacks, was the ugly corners of himself that he’d kept from leaking out until then.  eirika gets a lot of flack for her scene w/lyon at the end of the lava chapter (20, iirc?), but i think it’s a pretty realistic reaction on her part--a friend you thought you knew so intimately going thru a drastic change is stressful and confusing even w/o war and demonic possession in play.  despite its fantastic elements and Token Nonhuman Final Boss (tm) (who is at least not a dragon), i think fe8 is much more of a human drama ala fe4 and esp fe5, w/the twins’ and lyon’s various relationships really at its core.  if you buy into eirika and ephraim’s split chapters taking place simultaneously, the different ways lyon presents himself to each twin are especially effective in drumming up a sort of psychological horror air, almost?  it’s just a really interesting group dynamic to consider from any angle.

runner-up goes to l’arachelsquad, mostly b/c they’re fun levity to the subtly grim tone w/o getting too hackneyed in their comic relief.  dozla crying at l’arachel’s wedding to eirika gives me the Fee Fees, too.

My favorite mentorship

- i had to restrain myself from answering amelia and duessel under the parent-child section, since they read so much like a found family.  their supports are quite possibly my favorites in the game, and their ending is infinitely more satisfying than any of amelia’s romantic ones.  in my dream 3ds remake of fe8 w/voice acting and modern mechanics w/o modern mu dating sim bullshit, i’d love to see them get an a+ support.  

My favorite rivalry

- i get a good chuckle out of ephraim and innes’ shounen manga rivalry, ngl www  i was amazed at their lack of supports, which i think would have good potential for a balance of comedy (at both of their expenses lmao) and exploration of both as leaders.

My favorite hatred/antipathy

- does lyon/himself count, b/c like.  in seriousness, i love how eirika gets to give valter what for--cormag has just as much of a stake in that unique battle dialogue, but i usually let eirika take valter out b/c it’s just so satisfying.  valter def teeters on the edge of cartoonish villainy, but i think his particular brand of creepy misogyny stays believable and scary simply b/c there really are so many men out there who are just like that, minus the wyvern-riding bit.

My favorite potential relationship between characters who never talk in canon

- EIRIKA AND CORMAG, they don’t even need to have a romantic ending, i just want them to interact more, esp wrt how they see the concept of revenge.
