#otp or brotp either works really

[hxans]

Beginning my reread of The Sword and the Flame, book three of the dragon king trilogy. I cannot help but feel with the distinct lack of mention of wives or lady-loves, and the fact they are rarely mentioned without each other, that Theido and Ronsard are a couple.

[cod-thoughts]

Price for the character ask game?

Thanks for the ask! I actually had to pay attention after i answered the last one so this is late but its fine lol. I didnt want to ramble too much because a lot of stuff is gonna appear in my writing in GhostPrice week so no spoilers hehehe

favourite thing about them

Literally everything, that man is so versatile too I just can't get over how many situations you can put him in and it makes sense

least favourite thing about them

I can't think of anything personally other than just how little backstory we get ueueuue

favourite line

We get dirty, and the world stays clean.

brOTP

Hmmm this is hard but I actually prefer pricegaz in either a poly situation or just as mentor and mentee even more than anything. I just think they work better that way because I think Gaz and price see themselves in each other. I know ppl want soap or ghost to be captain if Price steps down but I actually think itd be Gaz.

OTP

NIKPRICE!!! To no ones surprised but also, Ghostprice and a secret third thing: NikGhostPrice. the three of them???? chefs kiss

nOTP

i cant think of one actually oop but there must be one i just havent thought of

random headcanon

Price collects things. Anything really but he just collects things. Broken soldiers. Vinyls, rocks, books. He just picks a thing and goes yeah thats what i collect now for a few months before moving on lol

unpopular opinion

I think Price isn't as "good" as people make him out to be. That's a morally grey man and its so clear in his actions. Yes is it for the greater good, sure but still he's not wholesome or good. He is a softie though i stand by that.

song i associate with them

This is so hard as a musician to pick songs you have no idea. Punk i think is his main genre. Any punk band and a guilty pleasure of 90's-00's diva ballads, think whitney, mariah etc. No idea why i just think so.

favourite picture of them

Its the grip on the vest for me goddamn

[magpie-come-east]

Also Hornsent grandam for the ask meme because she’s cute and deserves more love

favorite thing about them

Frankly I love everything about her. I love her design. I love her dialogue. I love that she is initially hostile but softens up as the story progresses. I love, even then, she never actually trusts the player wholly (she thinks you are a Sculpted Keeper, that's why she loosens up). Despite her sharp tongue and stinging condemnation, she shows over and over that there is a loving old grandma buried beneath the ash laid during the war. She's old. She's been watching her friends and family die all her life. She's watched her way of life slowly go extinct. But she faces the player with dignity. She makes soup with love. She tells the player to take a nap. She tells you to beat Messmer's ass.

least favorite thing about them

This is a petty detail, but it kinda bugs me that she says 'by the look of thee, another of Messmer's peons, methinks' about the player. Then later when the player wears the Divine Beast Dancing Lion mask, she mistakes them for a Sculpted Keeper because of their smell. I believe her horns made her blind, hence her recognition by scent later. But at the beginning they make it seem like she is still sighted. It feels like a minor oversight, but it bothered me haha.

But Gramma is perfect otherwise!

favorite line

"For what reason dost thou falter, villain? Enact thy sordid work with fullest pride. Else tuck away thy tail and leave for good. Loathsome issue of the rotten strumpet."

These lines are just so badass. She is an old woman 'looking' her would-be assassin in the eye and saying 'Do it, coward. You won't.' With a couple of lines we can see what a strong and proud woman she is. She fully expects to die, not understanding a Tarnished is not an agent of Messmer. But she refuses to be humiliated or cowed.

"I cannot presume thou didst not suffer... Please, I ask thee, allow thyself some rest. None of the tower would dare interfere. And if one should, I'll see to them myself!"

I also love this one. Once she lets her guard down she really is just a grandma. She is glad that Messmer is dead. But more than that, she is concerned about you. It's genuinely sweet.

brOTP

I think all the Horned Warriors love her. She bosses them around and they all crave her praise. Like I said, she's a Grandma.

I also feel like her and the Omen Twins would get along eventually. She'd bust their balls so hard, and they'd bite back just as hard.

OTP

I don't actively ship her with anyone. But since she grants the player the spirit of her own son to guard them, she probably had a partner at some point. Someone who likely isn't around anymore either ;;

nOTP

She wouldn't be caught DEAD with a non-hornsent lover lol

random headcanon

The Grandam is a respected leader in Belurat. Not because she was elected to or inherited any great position. But because she is one of the few elders of her clan that remembers the cultural practices that Messmer's armies are stomping out. Even the hornsent people call her Grandam because she's basically a grandmother to them all.

unpopular opinion

Hornsent Grandam isn't mean. If her 'rude' lines were given to Messmer to say ya'll (general) would be lapping it up. To be honest, I don't think most people dislike her, so this isn't really an 'unpopular' opinion. But all criticisms I see about her character are immensely bad faith. She's not 'fuckable' (ie, she's actually elderly) and a woman. So she must necessarily be dunked on to prop up the mediocre man that is her enemy.

song i associate with them

I dunno the Cult of the Lamb soundtrack.

[mymp3]

wave ^_^)/ !!!! i hate to be predictable, but for the ask game - poor ryoji mochizuki ? :]c

VITY! waves back o/

Anyways here's Ryoji Mochizuki world’s most perfect boy ^_^

favorite thing about them

Where do I start. Nyx being the primordial being, God in the persona universe. All life comes from her. She’s the beginning and the end, she is death itself. Having death be put inside a small boy and his kindness and love making death want to be human itself. Wanting to repay that kindness and love, feeling guilt at the way it treated the small boy, ruining his life.

The fact that Ryoji is Death, is Thanatos, is Pharos, is Nyx. They’re all the same being. The concept and execution of that, who had no feelings either way before, being treated so kindly to the point where it takes forms this bond with P3 Hero. Protecting him from the first arcana shadow as Thanatos on the first full moon of the game. The culmination of these forms is of course Mochizuki Ryoji. Who’s become soft and sweet. He copies P3 Hero’s appearance and gender and is everything that he never knew he wanted to be.

He loves the world so much, loves humanity so much. He’s so endlessly kind and having that kindness be a direct reflection of P3 Hero makes it that much sweeter. The fact he created this form because of his desire to have it and desire to separate himself from Nyx is the sweetest thing in the world. Especially when they’re all still the same being. Ryoji just has a hard time putting that in perspective again, he doesn’t want to be that, (Evident by his dumb Ryoji phase) doesn’t want to go back to that. It’s so sweet. He’s the cutest in the world.

least favorite thing about them

I honestly don’t think I have one.

favorite line

“I know you better than anyone after all… That’s why I came back to you as Ryoji Mochizuki.” (I know this is kind of cheating. sry.)

brOTP

Him and Junpei are so good it’s unreal. Just bros being bros. They hang out, are the most frat of guys and its hilarious. But when Junpei is going through a rough time Ryoji always knows exactly what to say. I find it so sweet.

OTP

Ryomina

They are literal soulmates. They are one another. Mirror images. Love birds. Codependent cats. Made for each other in the most literal of senses. Ryoji made his form from Minato so they could spend time together. Minato taught Death kindness.

Sometimes I feel so like I’m making them up they’re so perfect.

NOTP

This is a bit odd to type out but pretty much anyone who isn’t P3 Hero with Ryoji? I see Ryoji as only being made for one person in particular, so the others just don’t appeal to me in the same way.

random headcanon

Can I cheat and put more than one. I’m gonna. These are all Ryoji post P3 unless stated otherwise.

- Ryoji going a step further and taking Minato’s hair and eye color. Draining a blue Minato used to have til his are bright and shining. The same way he absorbed his kindness.

- He is crazy codependent. Like crazy codependent. If he was able to touch Minato for a split second in November they would never be able to let go of one another. That’s why Minato had to avoid him in FES.

-He's really warm! Got that from Minato too so he's left with all the cold. Ryoji's fun to hug though :)

- Him and Minato watch over the world together in the great seal! Ryoji shares the knowledge while Minato catches up on rest and helps explain new concepts to him when he wakes up. He’s his doorman ^_^ (ha)

- He would really enjoy working retail if he ever got the shot. He loves people in general. Getting to meet them, talk to them, the whole shebang.

- He’s embarrassed of being Pharos. Like people get of old baby photos.

- Ryoji is metaphorically trans baby. Wanting to copy Minato and preferring being called Ryoji, a boy. It makes talking about Gods a bit difficult. Dysphoria and all. Poor thing experiences it in the weirdest of ways. But as Minato and Ryoji continue to be the seal, it’ll get easier.

- He likes sunrises and cheesy rom coms and fairy tales. Classic knight and princess stories. Kind of has the most normal taste ever, but a romantic at heart.

- Speaking of normal, I think “Dumb Ryoji” is a representation on what Minato would have been like if Death was never sealed inside of him. Perfect friends with all of the right people, charming, a bit of a playboy, and best friends with Junpei.

unpopular opinion

I personally don’t imagine Ryoji with a sexuality. His human form was made as a mirror to Minato, and so interacting with him throws him off course. He acts different around him, it confuses him. I don’t see anything Dumb Ryoji does as being a real representation of who Ryoji is.

song i associate with them

My Ryoji playlist is just the most cheesy songs you’ve ever heard in your life.

Anyways I guess my pick is “Rhythm Of Love" by the Plain White T's. (yeah ik. please go easy on me he's so owl city 2010's pop to me.)

favorite picture of them

i like how pouty he gets when he's upset ^_^

[cruel-acid]

Can you talk about why you like IdiVil? :O I was legitimately surprised it was a rarepair after book 6 myself. Also, what are your other TWST ships??

Hello! Thanks for the question:3

I first encountered IdiVil back when I was just getting into the fandom after finishing the prologue, I saw some fanfiction about them and that was probably what mostly got me in lol I just really enjoy their dynamic, also I think they'd be like good for each other? Bringing out the strongest qualities while also working on the weaker ones if it makes sense

As for other ships, I am a multishipper so name anything and I'm most likely either actively shipping it or just think it could be a cute thing (obviously except for inc3st, p3d0 and all that stuff). From the top of my head my favourites would be: Idia x Azul, Malleus x Idia, actually screw this anything with Idia, Rook x Vil, Jamil x Kalim, Jamil x Ruggie (still not sure if I enjoy it more as an OTP or a BROTP thought), Ace x Deuce (same with them) and Deuce x Epel

[gemharvest]

Gf for the character thing ? :] or maybe Nene if you received her already

I HAVEN'T RECEIVED HER YET THANK YOU !!!!!!!!! I'll do Nene too, I'll just make it her own post after posting this. :J

favorite thing about them: I love her dumbgirl swag. There's something so special to me that both her and Boyfriend are fuckin'. Dumb As Rocks. ALSO I LOVE THAT SHE'S CANONICALLY AN ARTIST that's such a sweet thing to me. I would pay one morbillion dollars for a GF commission (because she has no idea how they work).

least favorite thing about them: I WANT HER TO DO MOREEEEHGNJFN.. Like she's probably done as much as BF has so that's not a critique of the game, I just wanna see her do more. Because I love women. Oh also I think they should remake every canon piece depicting her and make her canonically fat. I often forget she isn't fat in canon and then I feel sickly when I look at like, the volume 1 cover and she's thin. W-Whe';re h.er tumm-.my go..,m,l,l,...,, <- sorry for crytyping but it fits.

favorite line: That's how you do it! <- I was gonna jokingly just go up down left right but then I remembered she says that in the tutorial. And I quote it to myself all the time so.

brOTP: Y'know what, similar to BF, I think a GF & Darnell friendship would be fuckin' s-tier. I often think abt this post Keyy made tbh. I know that's specifically the Funkycule AU and pup has them in a QPR but I do think abt it often. Also, before I was a romantic PicoGF guy my interpretation of RGB had Pico & GF as just friends, probably closer friends the longer they're in their relationships with BF cuz like, bonding over a shared partner or smthn LMAO so I'll give an honorable mention to Pico & GF friendship.

OTP: WOag. RGB. Wow I've never heard of that before. How many times can I joke about RGB being my OT3 for this game before it gets annoying LMAO anyways. I ALSO REALLY LOVE GFNENE I wish they had more fics. So bad. I'm actually shocked by how bare their tag on AO3 is. They weren't lying, fandom does hate femslash. /hj

nOTP: Is there anyone out there who actually ships her with Senpai. I think that'd be my only answer ALSO YOU KNOW WHAT. I chickened out on saying it with BF but I also consider BF and Senpai a nOTP but like, I DON'T HATE ANYBODY WHO SHIPS IT. OF COURSE. I don't think it's "problematic" to ship Senpai with either of them it's just, like, the most thought I have on Senpai is that I want to kick sand into his eyes. So that feeling doesn't really translate into a desire to see him shipped with anyone. I'm sorry to anybody who ships Senpai with either of them, I respect your grind, it is just sooooo not for me.

random headcanon: This headcanon is like, so deep into my personal GF characterization/ fuckin'. AU. If you wanna call it that atp. BUT ANYWAYS. Fuck this is gonna need quick background hold on. The canon explanation for her looking human iirc is literally just "true love" or whatever tf. But that's not as fun to play with. So instead I like to write her as being ashamed of being a demon, especially because of her parents' actions, so she masks her demon traits. And she reaaaalllly does not like letting them slip through, especially around a specific person (this is foreshadowing for something idek if I'll get to any time soon Sorry). BUT! She is on a limit for how long she can hide her demon traits until doing so starts to hurt her, either through draining her energy or like, it causing physical damage to continue hiding parts of her. And while she trusts Pico & BF, she's still got shit that she's just. Not. Sorting out. So when she feels she's about to reach a limit with it she locks herself away to rest until she's well enough to continue like normal. Girlie No (guy who is writing her to do this) (don't worry I'm going to also write her getting better abt this) I'm gonna eventually have to make a "Karl's Personal FNF Demon World Building" master-post or whatever just cuz this shit is so fun for me to work with Idk.

unpopular opinion: GEH once again idrk if this is an unpopular opinion but I've been using this to just. Complain. About stuff I have seen and disagree with so whatever I'm continuing the trend. Like Pico, I feel like I see. So many. Interpretations of her that just feel Wrong. Like I see people make her The Smart One or like. Dominant Girlboss with little substance beyond that. And it's like. Cool, yay, I love fandom misogyny. FUCK it's probably still rotting in my drafts but forever and always my reaction to this phenomenon with her is "This girl gets her hand stuck in peanut butter jars trying to eat pb with her hands. This is your Smart One?" and I should get it out of my drafts bc I'm real for that. DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND ME WHEN I SAY THIS BTW. Interpretations that smarten up BF to the same degree do not flag this to me. When making more serious fanworks with these guys, you're gonna have to give them more smarts than canon will. My issue is specifically when I have seen people still write in a degree of stupidity with BF and then just. Don't? Do the same with GF?

song i associate with them: Very basic but I think the sound is cute with her. My secondary answer would be Nelward - "Werewolf" but that's more of a. Specific Instance. That I don't want to elaborate on. grins

favorite picture of them:

Like literally all of them The Fuck you're making me choose? /silly Here's the fruits of me looking through her wiki gallery:

^ If I had to pick a single favorite, it'd be those panels from the Nendoroid comic. She was real for that. Anyways FUCK I love her. Statements improved when you remember I'm Boyfkin LMAOOOOOO..

Bedman (Romeo)

omg havent had an excuse to talk abt bedman in a hot minute thank u anon...

favorite thing about them:

i love the tragedy of his story arc... that feels like a weird thing to say but its the first thing that came to mind! just. look. the road to hell paved with good intentions bit taken to the extreme really works here!!! the idea that he remembered the name of every person he ever killed because he was under the impression he could bring them all back, only to have the rug pulled from under him? hurts me! in the best way!!!

other than that i do enjoy his design, both romeo himself and the bed :] i wanna give my bedman cosplay another try sometime for sure, it didnt work out for various reasons but i have most of the components and would enjoy cosplaying him fr in the future

least favorite thing about them:

i think i dont really dislike anything about the way bedman is written in the source material strongly enough to point it out here? i think my main gripe is the way the fandom treats him to either extreme, like theres "bedman did nothing wrong ever" people and "bedman is horrific" people and i wish both camps would chill out and recognize hes like. a complex character? but i do think most people do this already which i can appreciate

favorite line:

im a little obsessed w his win line against may in xrd

"I do not understand humans who are motivated by love. A person is born, lives for a number of years, and interacts with up to eight billion people. What proof is there of something they can't even define?"

bc like. buddy. you dont even realize it. YOURE driven by love. all this shit wasnt just for yourself but it was for delilah too!!! fuck!!! you dont even see it as love you see it as necessary because shes that important to you!!! and dont even get me STARTED on the bed in strive and how its still running because of his last minute code additions which almost act as the last part of his will to protect delilah. GAHHHH

brOTP:

BEDMAN AND AXL INTERACTIONS. PLEASE. PLEASE. their dynamic is so interesting as characters with such fascinating ways of interacting with the world...gah. GAH. and no one fucking talks about it!!!

OTP:

sinbed. must i wlabo.

ok but i will, im not as into them as i was like a year ago but i still do really enjoy their dynamic. sin being such a beacon of hope and being so willing to see people as good contrasted with a post-xrd living bedman (bc all my sinbed stuff exists within au but im having fun out here so sue me) seeing himself as inherently evil due to his actions despite his intentions and believing no one would ever care for him? it hits for me

nOTP:

i dont know of anything off the top of my head that ive seen for him??? nothing prevalent at least.

actually on second thought i think ive seen like one instance of bedman and ram in a romantic sense, and that im not a fan of but i guess i could see the appeal, just not my thing

random headcanon:

this motherfucker would have gotten heated in some internet forums or wiki talk pages, DEDICATED to accuracy out here and he WILL fight you about it

unpopular opinion:

not entirely certain i have one? i think the "bedman while flawed is not actually a terrible person and was doing his best given his extremely fucked up circumstances" is a pretty cool take by this point for most people

i think the only thing i have is that my interpretation of bedman has always been as like a young adult rather than a kid but like i dont really have a concrete opinion on that and i totally understand people who do see him as a kid like its entirely understandable to do so

song i associate with them:

other than his character themes, its GOTTA be dramaturgy by eve, which just. it gives the vibes. read the english lyrics it will make sense i prommy

Hi! I hope you’re doing well

for the ask game,how about higuchi?

Higuchi, my beloved!!

Favorite thing about them: She's just... Very funny and messy and relatable. She has SO NOT her life together. It's nice to see a character that feels human once in a while.

Least favorite thing about them: She's so dismissed by the author, and yet she feels like she has so much potential... I really wish the narrative would explore her character more. Not only, I wish she was treated with more sensitivity and respect. You can write about abuse; I dare say, it's a good thing to write about abuse! But you should be respectful about it, and DEFINITELY not treat it as a gag. A lot of Higuchi's character - the physical abuse she faces, her infatuation with her abuser - make very interesting themes you can explore in literature; just do so in a way that doesn't stripe the character of dignity, you know? Which a lot of times feels like what's being done to Higuchi.

Favorite line:

brOTP: Pretty much Higuchi and any pm member, Gin, Tachihara, Hirotsu (Gin especially, I find the whole “call me onee-san” thing Higuchi has going on with her very endearing). I really like the tough front she assumes when facing the ada, and I've found her interactions with Atsushi really cute, I'd like to see more of them. Also, I totally believe Higuchi and Kunikida are online friends who don't know they actually know each other irl. I really like to explore her relationship with Akutagawa, I wish once Akutagawa has matured to be a decent human being they could be like. Cordial coworkers.

OTP: I really wish she would stay single tbh. Right now I find it hard to imagine her having an healthy romantic relationship with anyone? Which is what I wish for her, to be healthy and happy, a lot more than for other characters lol. She's just very easy to sympathize with.

nOTP: I've talked about how I'm not a big fan of higu/gin, but I don't take issues with it either, it's not that deep.

Random headcanon: About how she ended up in the mafia. She and her sister were raised by a single mother; when she died, Higuchi had to struggle to find a way to sustain the both of them. Stumbling on the streets, at some point someone posed a threat for her sister, and Higuchi assumed a very aggressive and violent stance to defend her. Akutagawa was passing by, and was struck by Higuchi's ardency, as well as her determination to protect her little sister even with her bare hands; so he took her in.

Unpopular opinion: I wish her romantic feelings for Akutagawa were acknowledged a little more. In general, the fandom openly discusses Akutagawa and Dazai's relationship, while the Higuchi and Akutagawa one, who mirrors it for the most part, gets largely dismissed. On one hand, I get it's unpleasant to talk about, since it evokes concepts of work harassment and women domestic abuse that are often disturbing to talk about since more often than not hit close to home. At the same time, that just translates in not talking about a big side of Higuchi's character that makes her complex and realistic, which is sad too.

Song i associate with them: Melt by ryo, perhaps? It's one of my favourite songs :)

nanananan nanashi 4 ask game🥹

favorite thing about them: NANASHI HAS STYLE, and I will die on that hill. People bitch and moan about Nanashi's "ugly" design, but he is PUNK and that fits really well with IVA's themes. I'd rather have a protagonist with a totally unique appearance than yet another bland kid. Maybe that is antithesis to the roots of SMT (they've always favored bland "nobody" characters), but I am nonetheless sticking to my stance. I love that he is dressed for the part as a Hunter, but still embraces his own sense of identity and style -- which frankly is important and natural for teens. I feel the same way about Asahi's own style. I love that Nanashi's design incorporates aspects of the two Akiras from IV. HE. HAS. GOOD. DESIGN.

least favorite thing about them: Once again this is more of an issue I have with IVA's writing and it is not solely about Nanashi, but I do wish that IVA did explore Akira's motivations more (especially with rescuing his sister, which is just absent in IVA) and how his actions and choices would've later impacted his later reincarnated self. There's a lot of stuff that Akira did in the background of IV that only barely gets examined IVA. Akira's "betrayal" toward the Hunters and Nanashi falling into that same fate makes for an interesting foil, but is just another foil that gets resolved way too quickly for my liking. Nanashi saves the day by repelling the Tokugawa Mandela and is immediately forgiven and praised by all with almost hardly any skepticism. Again it's an issue I have with IVA at large, but it still leaves me wanting more out of the characters and their development.

favorite line: Can I even say I have a favorite line from a silent protagonist, lol? I can say that I do like how "extreme" Nanashi is with his answers, either being very openly kind to downright crass and cold. It's much more extreme than some of Flynn's answers in IV. Arguably it makes IVA's alignment choices too obvious, but I like that it gives Nanashi a polarizing personality and it fits with his design too. Plus some of his anarchy answers are downright hilarious.

Additionally, I'm also amazed at Nanashi's "Dagda!" voice clip in the massacre route. For most of the game, he calls for Dagda in such a high-pitched voice. But as soon as you're locked in massacre, his voice suddenly turns really gruff and deep. Lmao??

brOTP: HE IS BROS WITH EVERYONE. But especially with Asahi, Hallelujah, and Navarre! I love his caring sibling relationship with Asahi, I love him being best of buds with Hallelujah, and I love that Navarre is basically like the cool fun uncle to him.

I posted that stupid edit of Morcedai and Rigby earlier, but actually Nanashi and Hallelujah are WAY more like Morcedai and Rigby. That's them for realll.

OTP: Nanashi x Hallelujah NATION LET'S GO. I will absolutely ship them both as bros and as a pair! They have the best ever chemistry.

nOTP: Yeah so, I really do not like Asahi x Nanashi and I hate seeing Nanashi get shipped with adults. Stop it. Enough said.

random headcanon: I like to imagine that, even before the events of IVA, Nanashi has always had dreams of his past life -- just not as frequently or as "unusual" as they later would be, stuff that he'd just brush off and keep to himself. I also like to think that, partly cause of that, he feels a closeness or yearning towards the Sky Tower and Firmanent but cannot put into words as to why.

unpopular opinion: Nanashi's concept design (the one where he's older, has glasses, and the giant robot arm) sucks and I'm tired of people saying it is "superior" than Nanashi's final design. Maybe the older design would have worked better for an earlier story concept, but for the way IVA is now, it fucking sucks. You can't just switch Nanashi's design with that and expect it to seamlessly work with the game's narrative. People complain about Nanashi being a "discount Demi-fiend", but actually Nanashi's design is much more subtle and it HAS to be in order to work with the narrative. A giant robot arm is the very opposite of subtle.

God I'm just, so pissed at people saying Nanashi's design is "bad". I'm pissed I'm pissed!!

song I associate with them: I'm just gonna cross these out with all asks going forward, I am not good at picking songs lmao.

favorite picture of them: Once again, it's Nanashi's precious smile~!

Thank you for the ask!!

[microchive]

either cam or gideon for the character thing!!!

GAH!!!! picking gideon because you already did cam also i want to talk about gideon nav my best friend gideon nav

favorite thing about them: how do i even begin.... i love that she isn't a hero and doesn't become one through the narrative, i love that she is so blatantly posturing all of the time and she builds herself up to be this big confident sexy funnyman because she needs that to keep herself afloat but what she is in reality isn't any lesser! she is funny and she's shy and nervous and she's so powerfully butch to the bone in a way that avoids all negative stereotypes but still manages to highlight the pitfalls butches find themselves in. she has so many layers and people reduce her to some kind of himbo when in reality she's objectively both too mean and too intelligent to be a himbo. i love that you can sense from the very beginning that she is sitting on a massive broiling lake of sadness and for all of her posturing she is both incredibly delicate and one of the strongest characters in the story. i love that she sucks so bad and died a virgin like christ jesus and even missing half her soul she remains consistent not in her outward personality but in her ability to shield her soft underbelly through some sort of performative attitude but EVERYONE can see right through her except gideon herself because everything she does is loud and annoying. she's impulsive and passionate and. incredibly annoying. i hate her and she's my favorite person ever

least favorite thing about them: probably the war crimes but it's not like she's passionate about war crimes she just doesn't gaf. this is just what a lesbian situationship will do to a guy

favorite line: literally all of them man everything she says makes me laugh.... here are some standouts though: - "If my heart had a dick you would kick it" - "I have lots of fealty in me. I fealt the Emperor with every bone in my body. I fealt hard" - "You've got two short minutes left before I punch you right in the butthole" - everything she says when talking to ianthe

brOTP: her and camilla ooooohhhh..... also her and pal. gideon works so well with the sixth house because they're just as annoying and generally peculiar as her they're just more lowkey about it

OTP: i'd have to say griddlehark because i have never stopped thinking about them ever but i do enjoy gideon x camilla (i forgot their ship name) because the cav4cav shit is so good godddd they're just two sides of the same coin, the same story with different upbringings they would help each other out

nOTP: not a huge fan of gideon and corona just because i think corona needs to chase someone who doesn't like her for enrichment purposes and gideon's schoolgirl crush on corona probably doesn't translate well into an actual relationship (let's be real though none of these relationships are going "well") but it is an interesting dynamic

random headcanon: i think she is really gross. genuinely. she picks her nose and doesn't wash her face and harrow gets on her ass about it which i guess is reasonable. also more intense but i definitely think both gideon and harrow have food issues but while harrow copes by being intensely picky gideon has some textual evidence of binge eating which makes sense to me character wise and also would explain why she developed muscle on planet malnutrition

unpopular opinion: i don't really have any once again?? i guess i like to imagine she isn't as attractive as she thinks she is but a lot of people write and draw her as a lesbian adonis which i understand because thats how she describes herself lmao. i think she's kind of cute in a weird way and tamsyn describes her as boyishly pretty so in my mind she's the kind of hot a straight man would never agree with. she is still the hottest person in the world to me

song i associate with them: I HAVE SO MANY. main ones are: father by the front bottoms, dance in room song by sipper, bodysnatchers by radiohead, suffering jukebox by silver jews, knife in the coffee by car seat headrest

favorite picture of them: this fanart: (this artist does such a delicious gideon ohhh i need her.) https://www.tumblr.com/bastardnoodle/741903153830723584/im-in-the-middle-of-reading-harrow-and-i-miss-her?source=share

Hmmm... Undyne?

undyne for the ask game?

favorite thing about them: i love love LOVE how trope-y she is. I can't think about her too hard, especially in the context of the geno run, my brain just stops working. goes into overdrive. her role as the true hero of the story and the tragedy and how she SHOULD win, she WOULD win, not just because it's the right thing, but because thematically, for the kind of story undertale wants to tell, she SHOULD win against undefeatable evil (think how we do basically that against flowey/asriel in TP) BUT SHE DOESN'T. SHE CAN'T. because she isn't the protagonist. and get backup plan doesn't work either. she dies in vain. they all do, but her case is even more painfully ironic.

least favorite thing about her: eehhh my only gripe with the writing is the fact that her dialogue doesn't make a distinction if you only killed monsters in the RUINs or not. or like, if you killed 1/2 common monsters instead of a dozen. it cheapens her impact as a character imo.

favorite line: "The brain's the biggest muscle of all!!!"

brOTP: PAPYRUS. PAPYRUS. PAPYRUS. BESTIES OF ALL TIME FR

OTP: Alphyne. 'nuff said 2, electric boogaloo.

nOTP: idk asgore?? that's her dad afaic. making it romantic is such a waste of a good dynamic.

random headcanon: asgore taught her to play piano and she starts giving papyrus lessons on the surface as well :] they play together sometime. and when they're not competing to make the most noise, it actually sounds really, really good.

unpopular opinion: look i love when people make undyne butch in fanart and fic, we need more butch characters in this world, but canon undyne is NOT butch LMAOOO. she's just kinda masc

song i associate with them: gonna be bland and say Legends Never Die, lol. also Leave a Light On by Tom Walker for the alphyne feels

favorite pic of them: the cover of the piano collection where she's playing for everyone. it's very pretty, and i love the watercolor. honestly, all her illustrations in the piano collection music sheet book

[fraudulent-cheese]

Emma Total Drama for the Ask Game pls? 🙃

you didn't specify which one so I'LL DO BOTH MUAHAHA

Sexuality Headcanon: in general i tend to base my sexuality headcanons either on what ships i like with them or on what would be most interesting for their stories, and while i do have at least one ship i like with either emmas (zemma for one and courtemma for the other), they're not the first thing i tend to think of when i think about their characters.

With that out of the way, uh Emma (reboot) is lesbian and asexual while Emma (RR) doesn't think about it much but i'd say lesbian. And maybe arospec. Not sure.

OTP(s): oops i spoiled it uhhh Zemma for reboot Emma and Courtemma for RR Emma, the former would make a cute couple + Emma deserves a chill partner and the later would match eachother's freak (weirdly athletic law students) + amicus curiae convinced me

BROTP(s): ok this i have actual material for since i tend to think of their friendships more often? They're both pretty lonely characters so giving them friends feels good :p

For Reboot Emma: her and Bowie's friendship was fucking awesome man. I wish they made up in S2 but i also get why she wouldn't but also please girlie make friends i beg... Her and MK would be nice too since neither of them have many friends. Oh, and her and Nichelle would be cute!

For RR Emma: Nemma being canon unfortunately robbed us of nerd besties Noah and Emma. Please see the vision of them being friends

Also unsure if sibling relationships count? For BROTPs? But her and Kitty's bond fucking rules and we should talk about them both more

Random Headcanon:

For Reboot Emma: yeah the BPD headcanon makes sense to me. I've been given pretty good reasoning after asking and it convinced me.

For RR Emma: ok this is more of a shared headcanon between her and her sister, but i headcanon both sisters as being french-vietnamese. Emma actually speaks vietnamese, but Kitty speaks french better than her.

General Opinion:

For both: they could never make me hate you Emma Total Drama

They're both great characters i happen to haven't thought about much but i love seeing posts about!!!

For reboot Emma: her character's story is so fucking tragic to me. Girl just wants to be liked by her peers and she seemingly doesn't even get that. She looses the one friend she made over a shitty relationship that she both tries to cling to and escape. I have a slight hope that the third season will be kinder to her but i really doubt it man :( let her be happy Fresh TV i beg

For RR Emma: i both haven't watched RR and like her sister Kitty a whole lot more, but she's good! I like how her dynamic with Kitty isn't perfect at first but they work to patch things up over the season (or so i've heard). Also, read Amicus Curiae if you haven't already it's awesome

Gender: Cis woman

Sexuality: Pan

Pronouns: She/Her

Other

Father: Bhaal

Mother: Mariel, a wood elf later sacrificed as part of Bhaalspawn training

Siblings: Look I broke canon and I have made a slew of Bhaalspawn. Technically Aria isn't my canon Durge. I just like the idea of big found family that murders together. If y'all really want a full list and breakdown, just pop something in my inbox for it!

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Sins: Uhh lust I guess? Is it a sin if she doesn't think it is?

Virtues: Patience

This or That

Introvert/Extrovert: Extrovert but like suspiciously so. She enjoys parties and the company of others, she likes being in the spotlight, but she treats everything with suspicion and caution. Comes with the territory of growing up with Orin

Organized/Disorganized: Incredibly organized and efficient. Part of why she and Enver hit it off so quickly

Close-Minded/Open-Minded: Open-minded

Calm/Anxious/Restless: Stays reasonably calm, but there are plenty of things that can set her off and have her go through periods of being really irritable and stab happy

Disagreeable/Agreeable/In-Between: In between. She's pretty go with the flow if it's a smart idea. She's also not one to just remain silent either if she thinks she can do it better

Cautious/Reckless: Cautious

Patient/Impatient/In between: Patient

Outspoken/Reserved/In between: Outspoken. She isn't shy about calling you stupid

Leader/Follower/Flexible: Flexible. She prefers to lead but she recognizes when it is and isn't appropriate

Empathetic/Unempethic/In between: Empathetic

Traditional/Modern/In between: in between. Needs context

Hard working/Lazy: Will work herself to the bone. Pulls all nighters until she's finished

Relationships

OTP: Aria/Enver Gortash at every stage. She loved him before the tadpole, she loved him after the tadpole. You will have to pry this man from her cold dead fingers (looking at you Bane)

BrOTP: Gets along really well with her siblings, but of the tadpole crew, probably Wyll.

NOTP: Can't really think of anyone. She tries to get along with everybody as she can.

[azurelyy]

If it's not a bother can we have the best bros Kankuro and Gaara for the ask game? And thank you.

Definitely not a bother at all, thank you for the ask!

Kankuro:

1: sexuality headcanon

He sounds so fucking hot when he comes. He just makes this low, low groan that rumbles his entire chest. It's addictive. Not to mention the fact that this means he's going to hold you in his muscular arms so tightly, cradling you to him like a prized possession, as he chants "IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou."

2: otp

I am going to get so much shit for this and everyone is going to scream at me about how this is a crack ship but I don't care. One day, when I write this stupid fic idea I've had of them and finally just put it into the world, maybe you'll come around. You will understand just how PURE AND GREAT these two are... SaiKank. Watch out for them, they're coming! Haha.

3: brotp

I don't really have one...sdkfhnsdkjfn. I'm sorry lol.

4: notp

I guess Hinata? I don't see that working out well for them lol.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Kankuro is the type to go on a date with someone and literally zone out as they talk because he's too busy thinking about how cute they are. And then he gets embarrassed when he has to admit it to them...

"Uh... What? I'm really sorry, I wasn't listening because I was looking at your lips. You have a really cute smile."

6: favorite line from this character

I have no idea. I'm sorry lol.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

He's funny and I like to think I am also funny.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

The puppets. Need I say more?

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

I don't think he's really either? I guess he is sort of problematic because he was kind of a douche during the chunin exams, so I'll go with that.

Gaara:

1: sexuality headcanon

Submissive. He is the sub and there's no arguing with me. He can take control if needed but that is definitely not his preference. He will let you do ~whatever~ you want to him, and he is very good about repaying the favor back to you ;)

2: otp

GaaLee <3. My little babies.

3: brotp

Naruto! I love how inspired by Naruto Gaara is. I think it's adorable. And then all Gaara wants is to make Naruto happy... I am MELTING AHHHHH.

4: notp

Naruto. I do think Gaara has a crush on him, but I don't ship it. Naruto was never going to reciprocate (sorry!) and so Gaara should move on to someone better... Like Lee <3.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

He's a snuggler. He does not want space between him and his partner in bed. If there is even a slight gap, he will assume they're upset with him.

6: favorite line from this character

“I think of you as a friend. I used to think “friend” was just another word… Nothing more, nothing less. But when I met you, I realized what was important was the word’s meaning.” 

7: one way in which I relate to this character

I swear I don't mean to keep making these so sad but like, I GET his loneliness. Not so much anymore, but back in the day... Yeah.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

This picture:

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Cinnamon rollllllll~ He is a rare character that went from problematic to cinnamon roll and honestly, we LOVE the development!

[cornfields-td-nonsense]

Katie n Sadie for character asks

my favourite bubblegum girlies

sexuality headcanon: they're both lesbians. "but they liked justin-" comphet. trying to make each other jealous. he's magic. justin's actually a girl. any excuse works really.

gender headcanon: i don't have one but them being t4t would be very funny. they purposely picked names that rhymed lol

OTP with the character: each other. obvs. Skatie for the win (although i am very tickled by Kava and Dundie)

NOTP with the character: either of them with Justin, I just. meh. don't get it. Justin's so aro to me

BROTP with the character: they both adopted Zeke into the world of girldom (this will make sense in the PDL fic promise)

opinion on the character: love them!!! although I am astonished how they feel both underutilised or at least underdeveloped, and also like they overstayed their welcome in the first season. like, why was sadie in TEN episodes of TDI if they weren't going to do anything with her? not saying I wish they were in it less, I love them sm like I said - I just wish they'd had something to do. is all

anyway go read Something About Sadie on ao3, it's what converted me to skatiedom in the first place

[getvalentined]

Ooh, okay, I got beat on the Gen ask. How about… Tseng for that meme then?

TSENG OF THE TURKS

🎟️ SEXUALITY HEADCANON: Tseng's sexuality is basically "queer." He usually prefers men but he's had some exceptions through his life, and he doesn't really apply a label either way.

⚧️ GENDER HEADCANON: Tseng has a very firm concept of himself with a masculine presentation, but his concept of gender is very much "on low battery" so it's anyone's guess at this point. He just doesn't bother with labels in general, I guess.

💕 A SHIP: Tseeve (Tseng/Reeve) is my endgame only-acceptable OTP for Tseng. I'm practically a monoshipper when it comes to how I see him.

🖇️ A BROTP: Tseng+Vincent, although it takes a long time to get there. Tseng has some serious baggage about Vincent that he picked up before they even met, and he needs to work through it before they can have a proper accord. (Short explanation: it's Veld's fault.)

🚫 A NOTP: Don't kill me, but honestly TsengRu? Not just because my abusive ex was obsessed with it, but because it's pretty exhausting seeing the most Asian-coded character in a Japanese game reduced by a large part of fandom to a shallow, robotic accessory to a rich white guy.

💭 A RANDOM HEADCANON: When Tseng was younger, he chipped one of his front teeth during a mission; it was eventually repaired, but he was so self-conscious about it in the interim that he trained himself to casually cover his mouth when he smiled or laughed or did anything that might expose the chip, and then never trained himself back out of it. This is why he holds his hand up toward his mouth in CC when laughing at Zack.

🗣️GENERAL OPINION: Part of one of my top ten FF7 ships, and generally in my top ten favorite characters overall. He's got a lot of depth that is fun to play with, even if he is painfully difficult to draw!

(For the character ask game.)
