( I rolled a d100 generator lol)
2,11 and 70 for Fiona and Malik!
Thhhaaannnkkkkk you bestie 2. Do they do anything to celebrate their b-day('s) hmmm yaknow thinking about it the opposite happens for both; Fiona's party would usually just be her and Hop's families (and the magnolias but that was only sparingly)- since they didn't really have another other friends. Meanwhile Malik (being the son of nobles) would have big parties; even tho the kids he spent time with felt fake- (i think im answering this wrong lmao) So now adays they've swapped; with Fiona having more eventful parties (and especially when she gets 20+ and has become friends with the other Chosens; sometimes she'll go to a whole region with the gang for the week.) And Mal prefers chiller parties- either dj-ing/preforming his own music or maybe just a movie night with friends (and trying to beat Bede at chess so he can win a night hgawfvub-) 11.How would your character court the person of their dreams? (i know you said this was random but this feels targeted PFFT-) okay so- (from what i've read about courting-) i feel like Fiona's already got this in the bag? Her and Hop have been friends since she moved next door (at 8yo) and they've been attached at the hip (until HKA; where they start to grow into their own without one another-) so i feel like when she "courts" him she just does what she's always done like helping him (first it was with training but now its with field work), she'll do the thing where if she'll get meaningful gifts and give them in bunches at a time (so she finds like 20 and distributes them in 5's over a few months lol), and she always, ALWAYS sends supportive texts (think it'd be funny if she sent those to Him before She goes out to a battle lol) NOW MALIK ON THE OTHER HAND- He went full blown after having Bede open up (post game duh); 20 roses, fancy dinners, walks in the forest (even tho it sometimes makes him claustrophobic-) he was literally trying to do everything by the book (a literal book his Ma' gave him-) it was difficult at first because of a certain-snooty-someone, but after some persistence it worked! And then almost immediately fell apart (for those unaware it's due to cosmic horrors-) So in an ideal world; after cracking that hard shell (it wasn't that hard lmao) things would go as smooth as they'd be able (cotton-head's still got his own baggage but Mal would supportpay for therapy) 70.What about your character is cowardly? (what. what does this mean-wait hold up-) again they are the same but in different directions. They both don't tell people shit- but on one hand Malik tries to fix it himself (with clear duct tape and elmers glue/just surface level fix) Fiona on the other hand just ignores it until it roundhouses her in the face- either from herself or someone else. and of course the most used reason for why they don't say anything is because they don't want to hurt people around them (This kicks off for Fiona during game/being champ. but i think Mal grew up with this mindset)
#sorry if these seem half baked- never said i was good at this😔#pokemon oc#oc: fiona#oc: malik#trust white girls to make the most boring characters possible👍#ChosenZVerse#oc 100 ask game

16. Where were they when the call of Mordremoth struck? Did they hear and follow it, or did they resist it?
17. If they were to turn into Mordrem, what would they look like? Would they manage to turn back? / When they turned into Mordrem, how did their appearance change? Did they manage to fully turn back?
18. [Free space for 3 pieces of trivia about your sylvari!]
#gw2#gw2 sylvari#sylvari#gw2 ocs#ask games#ask meme#my ask games#guild wars 2#I'm here once again with the format of “main question + extra questions to expand on the topic”#tried to include as much as I could in this. there were some more questions initially buuut they felt out of place or too generic.#I'm 100% forgetting some obvious question but this isn't some ultimate ask game so this is good enough!#note: I will send asks all to those with easy to find character lists/tags. or at least try (tagging the reblog helps as well)#as for my characters: all sylvari on the list + Myrn (Tocchix's step-father) + Gareth (Eurys's boyfriend) + Morwen (Mae's late bestie and#Gareth's late ex) + Nytum (Morwen's ex and ex-courtier/mordrem)

I keep seeing fanarts of ppl's OC's being on the ship, so do you think that if there was 6st crewmember (specifically, another woman) Anya would've been more safe? Like, someone to actually call Jimmy's begaviour out, someone Anya might wanna trust? Is there a possibility something might have changed (even if a little) or it would not have mattered at all?
-💀
I feel like the game would make it part of the commentary on where she would believe and help Anya but still be sort of dismissive? Like the whole “don’t waste time crying and being scared keep going and move on, don’t let him win”. It’s supposed to be positive and reinforcing but sometimes it does more damage in those times of mourning and grief, it feels patronizing, like you don’t understand what you’re going through but they do. Even if they did call out his behavior it’s still on Curly to act and while another voice would help, it’s still 4 against 2 on guys that don’t get it until they have to vs women who always have to.
I don’t mind mouthwashing OCs but I do get a bit bored as they tend to be borderline saviors or like Jimmy aligned. They are either more complicit than Curly or just Jimmy haters for no reason, outside of what the creators know about what he did to Anya. I am never irked by OCs but in a story like mouthwashing you really need to think about what your character adds to the commentary, especially if they are there during the crash. It’s nice to have like characters on Anya’s side more whole heartedly and interesting to see characters who placate Jimmy but sometimes it’s one note.
I can’t and don’t want to police peoples OCs it’s never my intention when I comment on trends I notice, but I do feel like the way people make their OCs interact with these two characters and especially Curly, really show a grave misunderstanding of the narrative and these characters as people vs roles in the story. Still, I know people just make up characters for fun and that’s fine. Great even, but I guys I’m focusing more on OCs that are supposed to have those serious dynamics. My favs tend to be pretty-Tulpar or post-Tulpar au OCs.
The inevitably of the crash is on Jimmy. He did that not because he wasn’t stopped but because all his means to kill Anya were taken. The gun, the axe. Even if Curly did strip him of his co-pilot privileges and try to keep him contained there’s only so many people. An extra body helps but they have jobs they have to do, he’s the only one steering the whole ship and Jimmy would likely have an out: food, bathroom, etc. He’s not new and if he couldn’t crash the ship directly, who’s to say he wouldn’t sabotage something else? A clunker like the Tulpar wouldn’t take much. An extra person helps but it’s just another thing that prolongs what a person like Jimmy is willing to do to shirk responsibility.
It’s more than just needing someone to stand up to him and think that’s what is missing when it comes to inserting a character into the mouthwashing setting.
#like again most people treat Jimmy like a misanthrope and he’s not and the way he’s just evil/rude to everyone all the time just isn’t real#like he’s snarky and rude but it can’t be 100% of the time like hes not going out his way to instigate#he’s the type to say shit and hope it stirs the pot like Daisuke likes him at first#thinks he’s a bit of a jerk but he likes him like unless you specifically make a character he’s dislike he’s not just gonna be#readily antagonistic to strangers or at the get go#not to mention it’s not just about Anya needing a friend but someone with the power to do something#a point in why she confides in Curly is he’s the captain she’s not just gonna tell the only other woman just because it’s still personal#not every girl tells their friend or another woman especially if they are new and they don’t know how they react not all girls are#girls girls some can be just as toxic as the men they are being confided in about#the nuance of the situation is not solved by having more people who actively hate jimmmy if anything it would make him escalate further as#clearly has issues with how people perceive him and being liked like another woman who hates him that’s gonna do something crazy in his mind#I think it’s interesting when OCs explore another side of the pre established dynamics as Jimmy uses each remaining crew member to fill a#something Curly provided for him and represent his dynamic with Anya and being an abuser I just feel like a lot is being missed out on#and it’s mainly cause people don’t want to make OCs that aren’t great people like it’s okay to have a grey mediocre OCs in situations like#this its realistic and helps you write more grounded characters like idk i like the ocs but eh im not like a super fan#I really should make an analysis on Jimmy cause people hate discussing him and his character is being really misunderstood#like not saying she’s innocent or an excuse but just not getting how he is supposed to work like he’s no dick fucking dasteredly#he’s a shitty guy who gets shittier like he ain’t start out an avengers level threat#mouthwashing#💀 anon#mouthwashing game#ask#anya mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#mouthwashing oc#now I gotta make an oc just to prove myself but I can’t draw#so maybe not cuz what’s the point if I can’t explain the fly drip

He asked to be kissed. Side by side comparisons from when these kisses were released on Valentines Day vs Patch 7.
Just two Evil guys in love :D Before you say ''writer's intent''
I finished the game for the first time when there was NO EPILOGUE and the only kiss animations available where a quick peck on the lips.
Or when I had this animation instead, the first time they were updated;
Don't punish gamers for playing a roleplaying game. Let me live out my evil vampire gay fantasy.
#this is what happens when you politely ask for changes instead of harass people in forums and bully them out of the fandom#literally every single time i've seen one of my friends write feedback it was formatted as politely as possible#immersion breaking updates literally made people stop playing the game and not update it#larian listened because they know this is a romance route#you don't advertise romance on valentines day only to turn around and go ''gotcha! bamboozl it aint romance''#it's the little things#that make a whole lot of difference#still not a fan of the kneel kiss but this is much more acceptable#if my character looks like he's 100% into it then yesss pls#ascended astarion#bg3 patch 7#patch 7 spoilers#bg3#lord astarion#vampire lord astarion#male tav#male oc#half elf#warlock#vampire tav#vampire#vampire boyfriend#baldur's gate 3

Hello Hello Ian
For the ship ask game 🦋 For Curry noodles 👀👀
HI HI omg this question ahbdjssnndj thank you 😤
(ask game here!)
🦋: How long did it take them to get out of the awkward early relationship stage? Have they gotten more confident around each other?
yuusha was the one who has gotten more comfortable with jamil sooner. it was almost immediately after they got together because it was basically just the same as how she treated him before (overly affectionate and teasing without realizing). but internally she’s somewhat lovestruck with their official relationship.
it took longer (several weeks lmao) for jamil to get more confident with yuusha because he realized — oh no they finally have a name to their relationship, the way they act around each other finally MEANS something.
it’s rare for jamil to actually show his affection in public so whenever he does, it catches yuusha off guard and it looks like she’s the one still being awkward in the relationship. it’s revenge for yuusha putting him in similar awkward situations.
💜: Hey, uh, can you grab me a napkin?
🐍: Sure.
💜: Thanks, beh—
💜: —!?!?
💜: I- I can wipe my own face. ///💦
EVENTUALLY they’ll be very confident in their relationship that everything just feels natural when they’re together. (but it’s kinda short-lived because somewhere along the way while they’re still in NRC that they break it off ;;)
#[—✦ chatting#-✧ ask game#another fun fact “beh” is like a filipino term of endearment#that i usually hear between couples#similar to “babe” i guess#lowkey not 100% sure my tagalog is at least 10 yrs outdated LMAO#[—✦-#twst oc x canon#(💜) yuusha#(💜) curry noodles#-✦—]

So I have some thoughts about gale with the dark urge. Spoilers for the dark urge in act 3 below so read at your own peril.
I think what's just hitting different about the dark urge x gale playthrough is that they are mirrors to the other. Each has a dangerous secret about themselves that endangers the people around them. Both are favored by gods, told they are exceptional. Then by their own arrogance, they lose everything. As the game progresses, they find solace in the other. Normalcy, away from the alluring call of the divine. Both have to turn away immeasurable power in the game to learn how to live again and be their own people.
I really wish that when Bhaal offers the dark urge to be his chosen, Gale would say something. Because he would get it. Refusing a god’s will when that god has practically controlled a large portion (if not all) of their life. The MC was the one who talked Gale out of following through with setting off the orb for Mystra’s forgiveness & later turning away from seeking to become a god himself for power. It would just make sense that he acts as that same moral beacon of “this isn’t the right path for you” when the dark urge is facing the choice of being Bhaal’s chosen.
#gale of waterdeep#the dark urge#bg3#bg3 oc#Am I thinking way too much about this game? 100%#my rant no one asked for#gale x durge

62 and 80 for all!
[ask game]
Hiya, thank you for the ask! :)
62. How would outside characters describe their relationship?
Kala & Ali: The fuck is going on there but it's lowkey scary?? somehow??? (it's the being in sync as people and being in sync as wardens and committing to the bit) During the blight/ before they were An Item: "maker they are so stupid"
Liam & Fenris: "if you go near them and get cavities don't say i didn't warn you" cit. Varric probably There are definitely whispers and rumours during Champion times but Liam does keep his love life close to his chest.
Lilian & Isabela: The common impression is that they aren't serious and/or the relationship is purely superficial. During Kirkwall times there are rumours that the Champion is trying o hide her affair with the alienage elf girl by being so publicly physical with Isabela.
Lilian & Merrill: They are not romantically involved but observers beg to differ, and the two of them don't argue with it because they're also not not partners, and they don't owe anyone an explanation. Early on Lilian is way more comfortable with "romantic" (i.e. what can be read as romantic) gestures towards Merrill since she, yknow, doesn't have romantic feelings for her. And people do love to gossip..
June & Cullen: Gonna get different impressions depending on who you ask; those who saw them early on probably thought it was a dumpster fire fuelled by pent up horny energy (they are not entirely wrong). People who see them later on assume they're your average romantic couple, and they've stopped trying to explain otherwise. There's def been more than one rumour about the spicy romance between the Inquisitor and her Commander.
Ari & Josie: A sight to behold for sure. Also scary as fuck, depending on who you are. If they display as a couple in public they absolutely do it On Purpose; most of the time, anyway. Makes it hard to discern if they are putting on a show, masking an affair, or genuinely an item; a goldmine for gossip, in any case
Also shout out to Var'Renan and Tamlen/ Var'renan and Morrigan who also are assumed to be a couple by outside observers a lot (they are not)
80. What tropes could be applied to this relationship?
Kala/Alistair: battle couple!
Liam/Fenris: i guess amicable exes applies in the og timeline?
Lilian/Bela: friends with benefits, and mutual pining for sure lol
Lilian/Merrill: fwb and i guess faux relationship, in a way?? though more in the sense that they don't bother correcting people/ explaining themselves because well. it's none of their business
June/Cullen: enemies to.. partners xd Enemies is exaggerated maybe, but a good chunk of the reason why they end up close is because they help each other work through the Issues TM that makes them start out disliking each other. In that sense ig both opposites attracts and birds of a feather also both apply
Ari/Josephine: courtly love? sort of? Does it count as office romance??
also, i think almost all of them qualify for slowburn lol
#made me realise that i know. very few ship tropes x'D#or at the very least can't remember them on the spot#also the being in sync thing def doesnt mean there is never friction or they work smoothly 100% of the time lol#but generally they give off the impression of being eerily in tune when they are in public#oc ask game/ my answers#thanks again mo! <3#my ocs#oc: kalagna brosca#oc: liam hawke#oc: lilian hawke#oc: june trevelyan#oc: ari adaar

from this ask: weird questions for writers (because writers are weird)
18. choose a passage from your writing. tell me about the backstory of this moment. how you came up with it, how it changed from start to end. spicy addition: questioner provides the passage.
Teruki Hanazawa’s tousled bottle-blond mop pops in first, followed soon after by the rest of him folding itself around the open door. ‘You know something?’ ‘What?’ He blinks. Hard. Then matches Teruki’s positively perverse grin with one of his own, not entirely devoid of mirth: ‘Do enlighten me.’ ‘I just... think your space would feel so much more like an actual home with some art on these walls. Or some, mmmm… décor in here. Don’t you agree...?’ He fails to suppress a groan at this; it stretches out much longer than he would like. ‘If you’d… maybe let me help…’ No. Teruki needs to be stopped. And he’s never had much use for an abundance of stuff. What else would he keep in here, anyway? Here, under the black sofa he picked out because it was the least complicated on the show floor, an ivory sheepskin rug, ample enough to accommodate his full height and then some: the bare wood planks chill his toes painfully in winter, even with socks. Sleep finds him sprawled out on it from time to time, its wispy but dense curls like late spring breezes spun out of cotton candy against his skin. At the moment, said curls are flirting shamelessly with his fingers. There, on the far wall, a sizable flat-screen television. As a joke, Teruki actually insisted on framing it for him with a silvery rococo border that wouldn’t look out of place in a Parisian museum. It felt garish to him at first, but it’s grown on him since. That… that was enough. Except for a clock and a calendar on the wall closest to the door? These walls are otherwise empty. He doesn’t mind. From across the room, the arrangement of his limbs on the sofa obeying a logic all their own, he counters the man’s impish glee with the most antarctic deadpan he can conjure up. Teruki’s grin refuses to budge. ‘Well. We can stay here, or go someplace…’ he shrugs, ‘more home-y.’ Perhaps his well-honed death glare loses a little something with him inverted like this. Twisting his mouth instead into a resigned little smile—this time genuine, but still upside-down—he looks up at the man quite literally brightening his doorway. ‘Your call.’
so, uh, i'm a pantser when it comes to writing.
a scene *poofs* into my head; i run with it. i shape it until it feels right, or i discard it because it's not working. this moment here, where teruki cracks shigeo's door open partway and slinks around it into his genkan, just For Teh Lulz, and shigeo meets the shit-eating grin he's wearing with one that belongs on a shark? that idea, along with much of the dialogue, was the first part that sprang to mind for this chapter.
at this point in the story, shigeo has weightier concerns on his mind than yesterday's big talk at work. so weighty that he's sprawled upside down on his sofa and staring down the walls. he figures teruki's puckish, tireless cheer might help and asks him to come over.
i wanted to describe shigeo's minimalist-ass living room here. (remember his bedroom in canon? how... empty it is, compared to his brother's room? that struck me, and it didn't feel like his parents imposed that starkness upon him at all.) teruki also might have found that notable, i thought, and originally i wrote this description from his perspective as a flashback leading into the present. but i couldn't find a good justification to shift away from shigeo there, and the extra description kinda dragged this scene out. so i shed a tear and cut it. i'm proud of the language i used; perhaps i'll find another use for it someday.
framing it through shigeo's eyes instead gave me the opportunity to focus on his character more: the simple things he really likes, why they're present in his space, and why he's being kinda stubborn here. information teruki wouldn't have access to.
the rest was just polish: crawling inside shigeo's head a bit and sitting with this part of him that can be prickly but still needs company, then seasoning the language until it tasted good to my ears. (i know i've apparently written shigeo 'smarter' than he is in canon; in my AU he becomes a halfway decent student in high school with a lot of help and outside tutoring. his language in japanese is already not 'simple' so i don't treat him that way.)
25. what is a weird, hyper-specific detail you know about one of your characters that is completely irrelevant to the story?
itō ryōsuke, shigeo's senpai and office-mate, is in his sixties. he has two daughters he adores, naomi (not pronounced 'nay-oh-mee') and atsuko. one is a successful rakugo performer and a gender trailblazer. the other is an architect. neither is married, which bothers him a little bit.
27. who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written? why?
reigen arataka. he's so stressful to write that i've only alluded to him thus far. i'm planning out a fic with him and i'm... dreading writing it...
i like him as a character, but not as a person: he acts out his self-hatred in ways i find deeply unpalatable, and i have too much personal experience with another someone who has to be forced to, y'know, actually respect people they love. (and winning that battle with them only teaches respect for a single person in a single circumstance. the next person they come to love and exploit will need to 'earn' their respect, too.) i don't want to swim in that headspace any longer than i need to.

If nobody else asked them yet 3 and 8 for the asks?
I got the exact 3 and 8 ask for A’mos but since you didn’t specify which durge I’m gonna ramble about Dr. Vrach this time if that’s ok, I just think about both of them a lot🙏
Based on this ask. (also ty for creating it! And additionaly thank you for making it not romance specific!) While this is technically durgetash I wanna specify that it is strictly platonic between these two. Tho, I’d argue this doesn’t make their bond less unhinged. It might make it worse actually?
3. What did Durge think of the little wannabe Tyrant at the beginning? Someone competent or someone who tries really quite hard?
For this I hc they met way before Gortash even became a banite, before he was sold to Raphael even. Dr. Vrach never forgets a face, just like he never forgot the face of a certain lower city cobbler’s kid who tried to pickpocket him once but got away bc he couldn’t snatch a child in broad daylight with multiple witnesses, nor could he be bothered, when he wants to keep appearances as a well-meaning doctor.
He is getting into his 120s when they meet a second time, both being a wizard and a demigod he was able to extend his lifespan way above what an average human has and he has full intent on going as long as he needs to bring his father’s rule and achieve lichdom himself. So, when he sees Gortash again, 10-15 years later, having successfully resurrected the cult of Bane in Baldur’s Gate and strolling over to the living(for now) flesh and blood of Bhaal for an alliance? Oh, he was intrigued to say the least. A man forged in the hells, fostered by tyranny, with an unstoppable drive for progress and absolutely no limits as to what is ethical - what a terrifying combination for a human to have. What an amazing opportunity to observe this brilliant mind, he would’ve dissected his brain if it didn’t kill him instantly, too. He saw so much potential in Gortash, potential he could help him realize. Dr. Vrach instantly became invested in his work, he wanted to become his mentor, to teach him how much more death he can bring into this realm if he only had more knowledge.
And Gortash, finally getting that older nurturing figure in his life? Finally getting his talents not only recognised but encouraged and cultivated? Yeah, he didn't get an assassin for hire, he got a free uncle who's always elbow deep in gore and likes to call ghouls his "colleagues".
8. Both Gortash and Durge are sadistic little gremlins, so when it comes down to it, who's better at torture? And did they make a competition out of it?
Absolute torture olympics at the Iron Throne all day every day for these two. And, unfortunately, no judge survived to keep the score but it is definitely in Dr. Vrach’s favour. He is always up for “research” and there is no end to lucky participants in his very ethical humanoid trials™ as well as his lifetime experience as a necromancer and a self proclaimed medical professional. Sometimes he’d like to see how many organs a person really needs to stay alive, sometimes he’d try to turn someone’s skin inside out all in the name of curiosity of course. It's edutainment to him. Magic certainly helps to keep them alive longer, he’s not interested in seeing the limit of an average person, he wants to see the limit. Period. How much can one’s body endure before its soul is released to the Gods? How far can you go past organic matter? It was a regular Unit 731 when they got together.
There isn’t much of a difference between Dr. Vrach’s research and torture though, so it’s hard to tell at times.

big question
would jay wholeheartedly love subnautica for the detailed fish behavior or for the little fish taxonomy
As someone who has never really been much of a gamer, I did not know about this game and had to look it up. Oh boy, Jay would go FERAL over this thing. But to answer the main question, I'm not entirely sure since I haven't played this game and don't know much about it (though it does look fun and I'm interested in it for sure), but I think the detailed fish behaviour would interest him more?
#again—no idea how this game works apart from what the basic premise is which i read online#i keep getting warnings for spoilers which is definitely a deterrent#can you like#observe fish? and see how they behave? in this game?#(not only do i not know how this game works—i also don't know jackshit about most games in general)#:(#but yeah if that's the case then 100% jay would love to study the fish behaviour and learn more about that#he needs to know everything about every single creature and how it acts and like everything#nox's asks#my oc stuff#thanks for sending this ask jbrkfhdnf i found out something cool toda#also now i know where that peeper thing is from
