*ೃ༄ cocktail-inspired otp prompts ˚◞♡ ⃗

It was a nice night to just sit in and relax, he owed you that much. He's been working so much and the only thing that Atlas wanted to do was be alone with you.

Taking a sip of his whisky, Atlas tilted his head to the side. He could see the tired expression on your face as you made your way over to him. "Come here my dear." Opening his arms out for you, you practically slipped into his arms.

Your face nuzzling into his neck as you gave a smile up at him. "I'm so happy you are here right now Atlas, I missed you."

Letting out a deep chuckle, he ran his hand down your back then pulled you in for a soft kiss. Your eyes closing tasting the sweetness of the whisky on your lovers lips. It only made you want him more, your fingers clutching his tie tightly.

"I have been working far too much lately, I do apologize for that love." Atlas's eyes darkened for a moment as he easily lifted you in his arms. "I will remedy that. It is wrongful that I've been neglecting you so much."

Wrapping your arms around his neck, you couldn't help but feel giddy as he carried you off to the bedroom. "Wonderful."

@digimon02countdown Day 7 - What do you love about Digimon Adventure 02?

While my attachment to Digimon started and persisted due to my love to the original Adventure, there are still quite a few things about 02 that always kept me around. I have already hinted at it in previous posts; the relationships, similarities and support between the "older" and "new" Chosen Children, the concept of the multiverse, Jogress evolution (also the fact that my OTP are absolute dads to the kids)... But I'd say the most important aspect for me is the bonding between the characters. And nothing signifies this more for me, nothing is as outstanding, significant and vibrant - as the development of the relationship between Daisuke and Ken.

I would argue that, overall, no relationship gets that much focus, that much visible positive development than these two. And yes, upon getting asked, I will never deny that, in my opinion, there is a sense of romantic tension between them too, but in this post, I just want to write about how fascinating, soothing and beautiful their bond is to me in general.

Their initial set-up is, once again, that of rivals. That is a theme Digimon has always been playing with - but I'd say no other series threw that trope for a loop like this before. On one hand, there is the fact that they're both playing football, even ending up facing each other at a point in the series where Ken is still considered to be that perfect, untouchable genius, good at and with everything, while Daisuke is considered a thick-headed knucklehead, goodhearted, but brash and not really talented in many areas - and yet, he still admired Ken at this point. Then of course, there is the fact that they're on opposing ends, enemies in the Digital World, having brutal, cruel fights against one another as Chosen Child vs. Digimon Kaiser - until the spell breaks, with the Crest of Miracles breaking Ken's curse.

And from now on, the boy - who's responsible for his own Digimon partner's death and the suffering of so many others - will have to face the aftermath of what he's done, dealing with guilt and self-esteem issues, feeling unworthy and unlovable.

But then there is Daisuke - the only one who immediately wants to give him the chance to atone for what he's done. He is not forgiving him right away, but wants him to be able to make up for everything - and with kindness and the persistence to not let him sacrifice himself and die, they achieve the unthinkable: Their Digimon combine, their hearts pound in sync. They seem to be connected in ways that make Daisuke get excited - and scare the heck out of Ken. He thought he didn't have anything or anyone else but his reborn Digimon partner and family, and now there's this boy he used to fight, he used to be enemies with... Who simply wants to be his friend, who wants them to be "partners" and work together.

It's confusing, it's scary. While Daisuke is sure that they're meant to be and fight next to each other, it takes time for Ken to feel ready to take the steps towards him, the others, forming bonds, friendships. But Daisuke being Daisuke makes it so much easier for him to let his walls down, slowly but steadily enabling him to show his gentle and soft side, starting to trust and rely on him as much as he does in return.

And Daisuke? Daisuke is displaying a sense of confidence and comfort that we rarely saw before - he tended to be so focused on impressing others, covering up his own insecurities with cockiness. But his bond with Ken makes all his natural kindness and straightforwardness come through easily. He may appear more simple-minded at first glance, but his heart has the right priorities - and he'll do what it takes to save Ken, from himself, from darkness, helping him to be his true self.

Daisuke doesn't doubt their connection for a second - and that's why it's so important that Ken is still able to shake him. That he has an impact on him like no other. He will give Ken all the time he needs to face his demons, to do the things that are uncomfortable to him - and he'll be by his side all the way.

They are partners, they've got each other's backs. And as long as they don't lose sight of themselves and each other, it will always be this way.

character breakdown; Ratchet

Character Breakdown:

How I feel about this character: Everyone's favorite Autobot medic! He's grumpy and snaps at people frequently, but he really does care more than he lets on. I love how even despite his general attitude, he would do anything to help the people he cares about, and he's willing to put his snarkiness aside to help others. And he's generally the smartest person on the team when it comes to making risky decisions.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Drift, Wheeljack, and Ironhide, in that order.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Ratchet and Optimus are a good platonic pair. I enjoy their prewar and postwar dynamics. Ratchet is like the friend who said "I told you so" when he said your ex was a bad choice of partner. Also Wheeljack and Ironhide of course as well, since my number one romantic ship for him is still Dratchet. Wheeljack is his explosive mechanical engineering partner and Ironhide drives him nuts.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I'm not a big fan of the TFA voice and design. I think it's fine, but my favorite version of him would be TFP's by far.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish we could've seen more fluff with him and Drift in MTMTE. I feel like the build up of their relationship was mostly off screen or implied. Also, I feel like exploring Ratchet's coping with the horrors of war should be looked into. Personally, since he was kind of a party animal when he was younger, I think he's always been a drinker, but developed an unhealthy coping mechanism with it because of how many patients he's lost. His dwelling on those he couldn't save is a really interesting quality about his character, and I'd like to see more of Drift and Ratchet helping each other heal from their bad habits.

Let me know if there are any others you want my thoughts on!

[moutainrusing]

It was always gonna be moonchaser, can’t pass up an opportunity for u to write ur OTP :)

There will be more but for now- cause i’ve been dying for this fic since my ao3 comments section- FLEAMONT teaching James how to make Wolfsbane for Remus (and then maybeeeee James giving it to Remus plsssss 🥹)

And if it wasn’t obvioussss 🍬 (don’t give me angst I can’t take itttt)

Ever since James was a kid, he could remember the cacophony of aromas in his Pa’s potions lab. They always overwhelmed him, and for that reason, when he began Potions lessons, he didn’t actually like it. He was proficient enough, but it wasn’t his favourite. He could tell it was the same for Remus, in the way that Remus wrinkled his nose and grimaced at everything, stepped back from the cauldron and let his partner do all the work while his own gaze meandered to the doorway, where it lingered longingly.

When the Marauders realised Remus was a werewolf, it made sense why Remus hated Potions, and James always found himself watching Remus watch the exit, a pang in his chest, ricocheting away from him and towards Remus, back to him, towards Remus, a sonorous tugging. He began partnering with Remus in order to let Remus lay off, instead of glaring at him disdainfully the way other partners would.

Even though James hated Potions, it felt good to be helping Remus. If he was doing something for Remus, whatever it was, he found himself loving it automatically.

- - -

It was lucky his Pa specialised in potions. When Wolfsbane came out, brand new, not even available to the public yet, Fleamont had his hands on it and confirmed, “Yes, it’s safe. Relatively easy to brew, for me at least; I am a revolutionary Potioneer…”

After Fleamont’s long declaration of his extensive skills (arrogance may run in the Potter family), James asked, “Can you… well, my friend is a werewolf, so…”

Fleamont stared at him. “I know. Why else would I start talking to you about Wolfsbane, you pillock?”

James scowled, trying to reel in his amusement because that was not funny. He asked, “Can we make it for them? How long does it take to brew? We need to make a large stock of it, they’ll need it for every full moon, and we need to keep stocking up because there are a lot of full moons to come in the next century, and Pa, can we hurry up and make it now?!” James waved his hands impatiently, pushing Fleamont into the lab.

Fleamont laughed, “Yes, of course. Anything for your Remus,” he smirked, eyes glinting mischievously.

James gaped at him, then spluttered, “What? I— Get to work! And keep the fact that he’s a werewolf a secret, because even though it doesn’t matter, for some reason, that’s the first thing people see about him. There’s so much to him, do you know how brave he is? He’s ten times braver than all the Potters combined, and I thought we were about bravery, but then there’s Remus! Every full moon he picks himself up and lives his life, and he’s really stubborn, he definitely belongs in our family; he determinedly ignores me telling him to rest and faces all his classes, all the people. He goes through so much, and through all of it, he’s the kindest person I know! He’s never angry, he has every right to be, but he never takes excuses, he’s real and upfront and—”

Fleamont clanged a cauldron atop the table in front of them and raised an eyebrow. “Shall we begin?”

“Yes!” James nodded vigorously.

- - -

“Pass me seventeen leaves of wolfsbane,” Fleamont instructed, holding out an expectant hand as he stared into the pits of the cauldron. James scrambled around for the ingredient, meticulously counting exactly seventeen, plucking them from the plant with care he didn’t know he possessed, gently placing them in Fleamont’s hand.

“Thank you, jaanu. Crush two mandrake leaves to extract their juice.”

James scrupulously squeezed the leaves until they were wrung dry, drained every drop of juice into the cauldron, watched how the wolfbane swirled and dissolved within it, a green, marshy concoction. He wrinkled his nose at the odour, but then he thought about Remus, and he decided he liked the natural, leafy smell.

It was the scent clinging to Remus’s sweaters after trekking through the Forbidden Forest, russet brown twigs decorating that unruly caramel-coloured hair, mud smeared over freckled cheeks, smudged beside little scars across his chin, embedded under nails and in the ridges of large, rugged hands. It was warm, earthy, old, sweaty, tangled in Remus’s arms and nose buried in Remus’s neck. In fact, James could breathe in this smell for days. He wanted to be overwhelmed by it.

- - -

“Acha kaam kiya!” Fleamont grinned, throwing his wand into the air in triumph. “Shabash, beta!”

James reflected the grin, squinting slightly. He had no clue what had just been said (it was times like this when he wished his parents had taught him Hindi), but he got the gist of it. ‘We did it! Well done! We should love ourselves, kiddo!’ or something like that.

The potion shimmering in the cauldron rose from the surface like a warm blue wave in an icy blue breeze, rolling off into clouds of blue smoke which filled the air around them.

It smelled disgusting. James opened his mouth, the tang on his tongue, but Fleamont interrupted, “Adding sugar renders it useless.”

James frowned. “But Remus needs sweet things!”

Fleamont shrugged, “Give him a kiss after he drinks it.”

James stammered incoherently.

- - -

“James! This is too much,” Remus protested, shaking his head. “Wolfsbane is expensive and time-consuming, I won’t accept you doing this for me.”

“Remus, Moony, Remmy Rem,” James started placatingly, “My family has more money than we’ll ever need, and I want to spend all my time on you. You can’t stop me, so just accept it.”

Remus faltered. “You’re delusional.”

James widened his eyes in exasperation, Do you hear yourself? He tipped his head back, breathed deeply, and returned to the conversation yelling, “PAPA!”

“Yeah?” Fleamont poked his head into the room.

James pointed at Remus accusingly. “Remus won’t take the potion.”

Fleamont gave Remus a crestfallen expression, which had Remus looking a mixture of guilty and annoyed all at once. James almost felt bad, except it was too funny to feel bad about.

“Remus, beta, you’ve got to let us make the potion for you. I never realised how much I missed the routine of Potioneering until I got the chance to fall in love with it again! Brewing Wolfsbane is just like brewing hair potions!” Fleamont squealed, delving into a lecture about the complex intricacies of potions and the way they tied into each other.

Remus bit his lip as he listened, nodding along as the heat in his eyes softened to a warm, honey brown. “I— well, if you like brewing that much… are you sure, Mr. Potter?

“Remus,” Fleamont grabbed him by the shoulders and peered intently into his eyes. “I have never been more sure about anything in my life.” Casually, he released a still frozen-in-shock Remus, “And call me Monty. I would say call me Pa, but James might find that a little—”

“Okay!” James clapped his hands. “Thank you, Pa,” he pushed him pointedly out of the room.

“Thank you, Monty,” Remus called after him, before glancing at James questioningly.

James ran a hand through his hair, “So… Wolfsbane might taste really gross…”

“I don’t care. All I care about is how you made it for me,” Remus smiled.

James stared at that smile for a very long time. His gaze flicked to Remus’s eyes, and with a slightly raspy voice, he whispered, “I… could make it sweeter.”

“Yeah?” Remus prompted with a raised eyebrow, stepping closer to James.

“Yeah,” James echoed softly, head tilted to meet Remus’s, and they were breathing, breathing, and James could feel it over his skin, warm and earthy, the scent of trees and outdoors, books and indoors.

“Thank you,” Remus murmured, before their lips touched.

It was the most overwhelming whirlwind of smells and emotions James had felt, simply from that delicate brush of lips, but he wanted to be overwhelmed by it, more and more and more. He wrapped his arms around Remus’s neck and pulled him into his mouth, nose pressed into Remus’s cheek because James could breathe him in for days.

[chaifootsteps]

In my ideal world, Baxter x Sir Pentious would have been endgame. I mean, i’m pretty sure they are canonically, or at least originally meant to be, ex creative partners, and we all know what THAT means.

They were two of Hell’s most brilliant inventors, but they could never quite manage to make it big. They worked behind the scenes, making a living by providing weapons, elixirs, and the like to big gangs and overlords. They were also both secretly in love with the other, but never voiced their feelings, Pen because his deep seated insecurities and low self-worth made him believe it was impossible for anyone to love him, and Baxter because he didn’t know how to deal with or process his emotions, and didn’t want “matters of the heart” to get in the way of his work.

Baxter never cared much about fame or notoriety, in fact he much preferred to fly under the radar. Pen however was always desperate to find his place in the world, somewhere he could belong and have his achievements appreciated. Overtime he became bitter, and started insisting that he and Baxter should use their inventions to get themselves power and notoriety. This created a rift between them that eventually led to them going their separate ways, and eventually becoming rivals.

Baxter ends up staying at the hotel, which of course causes issues when he finds out Pen is there too. They of course start fighting constantly, and trying to one-up each other. But of course they can’t help but admire each other’s work, and keep end up getting along by accident.

After a while, they form a begrudging friendship, which progresses as the show goes on. This culminates when one late night, Pen drunkenly admits he always held a candle for Baxter, but never had the confidence to tell him. After hearing this, Baxter becomes withdrawn and nervous around Pen, fighting with his inner turmoil and the feeling he doesn’t want to face.

Pen of course assumes he has offended Baxter and ruined their friendship once again. He feaks out, and ends up leaving the hotel without telling anyone, causing Charlie and the others to panic because they actually give a shit about him in this version.

Baxter tracks him down, finding him in their old shared lab/house, now abandoned and run down. The two of them have an honest conversation, in which Pen admits that his fear of being an outcast and his desire for love and acceptance has caused him to sabotage the relationships in his life (and death i guess) that actually mattered, but that the time he’s spent with Baxter and the others in the hotel has helped him to value the place in the world he does have? instead of the one he wants.

In turn, Baxter confides in Pen how his experience as an outcast has lead him to become jaded and closed off, and gave him the mindset that trusting or caring about anyone will only ever be detrimental to him. He also admits that his time in the hotel, especially his relationship with Pen, has challenged that worldview, and finally tells Pen that he has feelings for him.

Sorry if this is too cringe or fanfictiony, Idk man, I just have a soft spot for men with emotional issues and mad scientists.

I just want them to be autistic4autistic evil husbands 😭

No, not the slightest bit too cringe or fanfictiony! Hell, you want to talk cringe, my Sir Pentious OTP will always be Pentious/my late Hazbin OC, which is why I never liked Pen/Baxter back in the day.

But lately, it's been growing on me. Pentious shipped with anyone who didn't stand idly by while he was sexually assaulted is fine by me.

[eyedrateanatomy]

Sorry if this comes up a little random but

Opinion about clickbait (Radford x Frank)? I know its the crackship of the crackships but its also somehow one of my otps

gotta be honest with you. for a very brief time i thought i came up with the ship ever since i doodled them referencing pleakley and jumba before i found out there was a shipname for them

but they Are pleakley and jumba. frank is a big man who constantly gets into trouble and plays by his own rules, and radford is a little worrywart who just wants to go home and live his boring life

they come off as a couple who proooobably dont love each other, but everytime they interact its like fate decided that they were meant to be an old married couple bickering until their last breath. just constant playful banter and rolling their eyes when their partner does something dumb, but stifling a laugh at the same time

frank takes advantage of radfords idiocy for sure. he tells him to hop in his van cause hes got puppies in the back, and rad of Course believes him and gets in. theres some kid in a bag, and rads asks who it is cause thats,,, not puppies. frank isnt answering, and the next thing you know hes got rad in his arms to keep him from squirming away cause he Needs him to go up to the cashier at the gas station to get something and hes on bad terms with just about everyone in town, and radford gets along with everyone. so he has to do it

radford is a little difficult to control, he cannot stop going "dude no we're gonna get in trouble!!!! we're gonna get in Soooo much trouble oh my god dude my uncles a cop. do you know what hes gonna do to me!!!! DUDEEEEE" to everything frank does. frank tells him he can disguise as a woman to sneak into a bar theyre driving to, and radford is suddenly immediately on board with the plan

i think theyd still totally get along though. they could hold a conversation for Days at a time and love listening to whatevers on the radio. rad introduces frank to mafia and car chase movies cause thats what frank likes the most apparently. franks got movies too!!!! he stole them. but for radfords sake hes not gonna tell him that

frank has had to keep rad from eating drugged candy Multiple times, like "uhh no you cant have that. its uhh. dirty." nd rads like "... but its wrapped???" nd frank just keeps stammering till rad eats it anyways then wakes up in the hospital

yeah theyd be the funniest couple ever. franks ultimate challenge for how long he can keep his idiot boyfriend from finding out he kidnaps children for money. fortunately for him, radford doesnt ever connect the dots. everytime he gets suspicious frank just distracts him with something he likes

frank vc now listen to me radford, i am talking directly into your ear now. i need you to do me a favor. you will do this for me. i need you to go to gamestop, and i need you to ask the bastard working the counter if they have bambi on the ps2. if you come back empty handed youll be in big trouble mister. you will never see the light of day

SHIPPING INFO. Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What’s your OTP for your muse(s)?

I try not to have any one OTP though I have repeatedly said and still stand by that ships with fellow Phantom Thieves do have the strongest groundwork for a romantic relationship since there's already that bond or trust. Like just going over the Phantom Thieves really quickly.

Akira/Ren/Joker - I think that Joker was probably his first true friend in a long time and someone who almost immediately proved himself to Ryuji as a good and stand up guy - I think he admires Joker a lot whilst also recognizing Joker carries a lot of weight on his shoulders and I personally see him as trying to bring some cheer, trying to ease some of Joker's burdens as best as he can.

Ann - They've got that middle school connection even if they weren't really close friends - throughout the game, they've got that playfully bickering dynamic which could easily be read as flirty if you wanted to see it that way. The two along with Joker and Morgana were the first of the Phantom Thieves and I just feel they especially have such a strong bond and a strong foundation for a relationship. I also just feel like they'd have a lot of fun being together.

Yusuke - I do love that one skit in Mementos where Ryuji offers to take him out for ramen and after their initial rocky introduction, I can genuinely see Ryuji being protective over Yusuke and wanting to bond with him, not wanting him to be lonely - I think their contrasting personalities and interests would make for a lot of fun.

Makoto - I've always felt he's quite in awe of her, she's student council president and carries so much shit, she's also a complete badass in combat - similarly to Joker I feel he'd want to ease her burdens and be there for her however he could.

Haru - Haru is someone who at her core is incredibly sweet, I just love the idea of these two gardening together and bonding and spending time together. Definitely among the more underrated ships in my opinion.

Akechi - They'd honestly make a fun enemies to lovers ship, it's fun to flesh out their dynamic much more through RP!

Kasumi/Sumire - They've got a bit of an athletics commonality and I feel like if they spent more time together, something could potentially develop, they could become closer.

I also think he's cute with Mishima and it's fun to talk about shipping him with P3 and P4 characters like Chie, Naoto or anyone else! I like to think I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to ships.

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

Barring anything grievously problematic or inappropriate (like a relationship that's abusive in any way, shape or form or has an uncomfy age gap) I like to think that I'm pretty open minded - whether it's a pre-established ship, slow burn, even if it's more unconventional like friends with benefits situation. If someone wants to potentially ship their muse with Ryuji I'm absolutely open to hearing them out and hearing what they want to do as well as contributing some input of my own and I suppose maybe because I've had so many awesome partners who've never really tried to push or test my boundaries, I haven't thought of anything that would make me really uncomfortable, barring what I mentioned above - pretty much anything short of writing outright smut or porn. Just not comfortable doing that, especially if the muses in question are minors.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

I mean if you're looking to ship with a 16/17 year old Ryuji - a high schooler - and your muse is an adult, that'd be an instant no from me. I have of course done verses where he's a bit older and is a young adult and likewise, I'd never want to ship an adult Ryuji with a much younger muse. So yeah, absolutely no adult/minor relationships on here - it's either teenager/teenager or adult/adult.

Are you selective when shipping?

I mean if someone is interested in shipping but our muses have never interacted I do at least ask for some interactions to gauge the chemistry first but I don't consider it being selective or testing them, we're just checking the chemistry, you know? Wouldn't want to write a ship where they feel more like siblings than they do like lovers.

Also having a relationship with the other mun does help but it's not a necessity - so long as we're both comfortable and willing to respect each others' boundaries, that's all you can really ask for - I will tell them if I feel uncomfortable with a certain aspect of the ship or ever wish to drop them and I expect them to do the same for me. Transparency on both sides.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

Any removal of clothes.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

I'm really lucky to be able to ship him with so many muses and I think it'd be unfair to single a select few out when there's so many amazing ships so I'll just say that I'm endlessly grateful for each and every one of my ships and those who write them with me - it's impossible for me to highlight or rank or single out any one of them because they're all each wonderful and cherished in their own right.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

I mean, I'm pretty dense so it does certainly help - I try not to assume anything - like if for example, we have a really flirty thread my mind doesn't immediately go to 'well looks like we're shipping them' because there are some instances where it could be just that - just innocent flirting and nothing more, yeah? If I don't 100% know where another mun stands regarding shipping our muses, I either ask them outright or I play it safe and send them platonic stuff instead. Nobody wants to be that person forcing a ship.

How often do you like to ship?

As often as I can!

Are you multiship?

That's right - each ship is treated as its own individual relationship - so there's no shenanigans, no cheating, no nothing. I respect blogs who can go single ship and I think that's wonderful for them and for their partners but it's just for me.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

Is there like a middle ground here? Like I love gushing about ships and all but I dunno if I want to label myself 'ship obsessed' - I enjoy plotting and sharing headcanons and talking about how cute they are but it's not like ships are all I think about either.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

I don't like to single out favourites but I've been reblogging quite a bit of PegoRyu fanart lately so it seems they occupy my heart, for now.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Like my permanent shipping call, if I reblog one of those memes with like the list of emojis for all the possible relationships send me an outright shippy one, come into my DM's or ask me on Discord. Just be forthright with me. As I said before, I'm pretty dense.

[gomosmorodina]

Tarantino movies for the ask game🫵 And you’ve provably been asked already but I’m also curious to get your opinions on brba/bcs!

since you're the first one asking about brba/bcs, it will be a huuge post

tarantino:

my favorite female character: jackie brown!!!! and also shoshanna, she's such a strong and brave character!

my favorite male character: this game is an evidence that i can't choose one favorite thing lol. so i'll say cliff booth, dr schulz and butch!! and max cherry hehe

my favorite film: inglorious basterds forever

my favorite cast member: samuel l jackson. i love his presence, at least in tarantino's films. very very charismatic

my favorite ship: jackie and max!!!!! give me more couples who are not high-schoolers or young adults.

a character I’d die defending: maybe tarantino himself! let him be extremely violent and use slurs in his movies, he has a point

a character I just can’t sympathize with: there's tons of fucked up guys in tarantino's films, but it would be interesting to say about rick dalton... he is okay, he will be okay, why do i have to feel sorry for him? but probably that was the intention hehe

a character I grew to love: tbh i don't remember much the hateful eight, but i remember how drastically changed my opinion about sam jackson's character. by the end of film i was like "DAAAAAMN HE'S BADASS"

my anti otp: all of the relationships and interactions in these films are cool, i can't think of any

brba/bcs:

my favorite female character: i don't approve many of her choices and i don't think we will ever be friends, but kim. she is entertaining, i love to watch where her weird choices lead her. and in brba marie, of course!!!

my favorite male character: you will be surprised - it's GUS! but also i really really really love mike. my badass sigma dudes 😎

my favorite season: in brba season 1, it's very funny and in some ways cozy. also s4 til the moment walt convinces jesse that gus poisoned brock 😒 in bcs it's s6!

my favorite episode: in brba "salud", second favorite - "peekaboo". in bcs - "point and shoot", plus "fun and games".

my favorite cast member: patrick fabian, rhea seehorn and batsy brandt!! both of the casts are full of charismatic and smart people, but these are just funniest ones, i love how charming and hilarious they are.

my favorite ship: gusmax!!! fits my beloved "partners in crime" trope. ofc mcwexler for the same reason and their sincere attempts for their relationship to work. and also marie and hank! they are obviously not the nice people, but for each other they are very kind, loving, and, most important, accepting.

a character I’d die defending: chuck of course, "he's literally me" (jk, to some extent...). he is not the nice and kind person, but he really is consumed by his mental issues, and the problem is, even the characters base their judgement of chuck on a thought that he's just normal, but awful dude. i believe it killed him, no one truly understood what was going on. but also!!!! in some ways, jesse. as i analyze his path more, i understand he's mostly responsible for his actions and he's done tons of terrible things (but i still think he's not the brightest person and is very influenced, so the people around him contributed to his wrong choices, his parents included). but his sense of justice and inner kindness resonate with me. i like that no matter what happens to him, he still cares for people, loves kids, is willing to help and be open (the last one is at least until his captivation). i appreciate this core kindness in people.

a character I just can’t sympathize with: howard 😐 as he said, he will land on his feet. just feel sorry for his tragic end, but before that... and neo nazis in brba, fuck them!!!

a character I grew to love: i changed a lot of thoughts on brba characters because i was only 19 when i watched for the first time, including skyler and marie. but the most interesting case for me is hank. i'm still watching brba for the third time with my friend, and she made me realise hank is much more complex and interesting than he seems at first! and chuck in bcs, at first i just hated him.

SHIPPING INFO. answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

what’s your OTP for your muse(s)?

Stolitz, obviously. Though I am also biased by saying I will also always readily pursue what I have with Horus & Stolas [ @sxlinvictus is stuck with me forever ].

what are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

As far as tropes go, I am open to most things. I am a slut [ affectionate ] for fluff and domesticity, but angst is also my game! I love friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fake dating, etc. The options are endless!

are you selective when shipping?

I can be. If I can't personally see our muses becoming romantically [ or even just sexually ] inclined, I'll be hesitant and/or let you know it's not going to work out or that I'm not interested. It's nothing personal! I just go based on how my Stolas feels or would approach the matter. On most occasions, I am heavily chemistry based. However, there are some instances where I'd be willing to just jump right into things! Especially if I've had enough interactions with my partners both or either ic or ooc!

Also worth noting — my portrayal will not show interest in women. Sorry, ladies. He will appreciate and compliment them, but there will be zero attraction.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

This is a very good question! I will be honest, I never considered anything outside of Stolitz originally, excluding possibilities with Dae's muses as we discuss them. Mostly because I just wasn't sure where I stood on the matter or how Stolas would respond! But some interactions with others have me thinking. . . Broadening my horizons. . .

I would be open to exploring things with: Better Than Blitzo Guy [ why doesn't he have a fucking name?? ], Lucifer, Angel Dust, Andrealphus, Lucifer [ Netflix and probably to be an Exclusive ], Alucard/Adrian from Castlevania, and others idk I just can't think of it without like, prompting or scenarios. . .

I actively/passively ship my Stolas with Blitzo, Lestat [ @this-savage-garden ] and Walter [ @lapetitemxrt ], and Roy [ @flamesignite ]. But these are exclusive ships! I will not pair him with any other portrayal of these characters.

how often do you like to ship?

I love shipping! If it's not already obvious, I'm telling you right now!!! Good soup!

are you multiship?

100%, absolutely! Every ship is verse separate and occurring outside of others unless specified or agreed upon by any/all involved!

what is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

I love Moxxie & Millie so damn much — but if the question is muse specific, then Stolitz, of course.

finally, how does one ship with you?

Tell me! Tell me you're interested and if you have any ideas/desired interactions to get things going! 9/10 times I am willing and absolutely delighted to do so! Also, memes are a great jump into any dynamic! I will say, however, it helps to have interactions prior and/or chatting ooc! If you don't tell me or tag me in a post about wanting it — I won't approach you about it! Even if it's a ship I am interested in. Just slam that shit in my face! Let's goooo!

Additional notes:

Just because I have an interest in shipping with a character does not mean I will seek it out or expect it with you and your muse! Also, I am 100% down for unrequited feelings.

answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

what’s your OTP for your muse(s)?

huskerdust <3 I am UNWELL about them

what are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

most things! fluff and smut are both on the table, and I'm a huuuge sucker for angst. anything I'm not willing to write comes down to personal preference or triggers, but other than that, I'm game for quite a lot.

how large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

I mean, the show makes this a tricky question, given that most sinners died a long ass time ago. my portrayal of angel died at 32 but technically has existed for over a century - bro is an old man. I probably wouldn't ship him with anyone younger than their mid-twenties, but Angel's taste definitely favours men who are older than him, anyway. I don't really see a limit to how old of a guy Angel would go for LMAO. he's 109, let him have his old man yaoi moment.

are you selective when shipping?

mmhmmmm. I'm happy to write with the intention of shipping with husks, but for other ships, there HAS to be chemistry. I like to rp non-ship stuff first to see how we mesh and just go from there. angel's an awkward muse because he will flirt, he'll show an interest in most male rp partners because that's his personality, and he'll sleep with anyone he finds attractive. however, I won't write smut unless we already have a good rapport from writing together, and romantic chemistry is definitely a slow burn for him.

how far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

usually when genitalia gets a mention, but also any kink scenario. muses can be not even touching, but if there's anything going on like bondage or a d/s dynamic, I'm considering it nsfw.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

husk is my main man, but I'll ship with virtually any male muse, chemistry-willing. I'm more likely to ship if your muse fits angel's type, which is generally guys who are taller/older/more powerful than he is. this spider likes a rugged bad boy or a big, strong daddy to put him in his place I don't tend to ship with vals, but their dynamic is one of my favourites to write.

does one have to ask to ship with you?

yessss. angel will flirt and make suggestive comments, but that doesn't necessarily equate to shipping. if your muse is interested in angel, that's cool, but if you want angel to return those feelings and build that relationship, that takes some ooc chatting.

how often do you like to ship?

I don't ship as much as I thought I would on here, but I love the ships I have.

are you multiship?

yessssss.

are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

I don't ship with many rp partners, but those I do I am fairly obsessed with!

what is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

huskerdust <3

finally, how does one ship with you?

just ask me! my answer will usually be the same: sure, let's see where this thing goes! that means I'm happy to keep writing to see if chemistry builds between muses, but of course, that doesn't mean there WILL be chemistry. I like a slow burn, I like plotting, and I love seeing how relationships change and grow even outwith shipping. my favourite thing about rp is seeing how characters develop in relation to eachother, and whether that's romantic, sexual, platonic, or antagonistic, I love it all.

Can you break down Rook Blonko from Ben 10 Omniverse?

Hey! I hope your doing well, arlakos! Always nice to see ya! <3 How I feel about this character: As much as I actually adore Omniverse (which I do believe just comes with a bias since it does remind me of Sonic a lot) I have no real strong feelings for Rook beyond that I do really like him. And it helped that when I watched Omniverse for the first time I had a soured taste in my mouth of the previous two Ben shows from when I was little (which, I'll be honest, I think outside sources just made me hate those shows, they're actually quite good so little me was just being silly) which meant I didn't actually like Kevin and Gwen much in the beginning so I wasn't constantly comparing them to Rook as partners for Ben. I feel like this helped me cozy up to his character a whole lot more. But now that I have actually rewatched the other two shows, I actually do prefer at least Kevin as a companion for Ben but I still find it completely unfair to compare them since Rook is fundamentally a different character to Kevin and Gwen which I'm actually very happy they did. It would have been so easy to just make him Kevin and Gwen in one character but this dude is actually his own person and I appreciate that. My only real complaint with Rook is near the end they kind of just forgot about him so he ended up just being another character that kind of makes fun of Ben but still helps out. Occasionally he went back to old Rook, of course, but it was quite aggravating. And there wasn't any cleverness to it. It just seemed mean-spirited. But I really blame that on the writing. They clearly had this idea for Rook and when he wasn't a main part of the storyline for an episode they had no clue what to do with that idea so they reduced him to basic mean-spirited humor. All people I ship romantically with this character: I'm gonna be 100% honest with this; Ben 10 is one of those shows where I find romance just bogs down the show and is in no way helpful to it so it's very hard to actually ship anybody. Specifically people who have actually been couples in the show purely because it's so clear that they were only prepared to write an action show and not romance scenes. I'd love to say Kevin and Gwen are an exception to this but, while they certainly have better moments than literally any other couple, even they sometimes fall into this trap. I say this because I have absolutely have no feelings for Rook's actual relationship in the show beyond it's kind of cute. Rayona has little to no personality and is purely there to be the girl Rook but with none of the fun. I'm happy to see Rook happy and they are by far one of the least problematic ships in this show simply because they do next to nothing with them. So, while I will say I ship them, it's very freaking minor. Now Rook and Ben? I certainly think there's a fun case to have there. I actually believe they have infinitely more chemistry than Rook and Rayona. But I am not a diehard shipper of them like most of the Omniverse fandom seems to be. But they are definitely above Rook x Rayona.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Well that's really freaking easy. Ben and Rook all the way. Like they're so fun to watch together. Rook being hilariously more "down-to-earth" while Ben is pure chaos. But it's not as simple as Rook calling out Ben's very flawed logic, it's actually far more fun. Something best enjoyed personally rather than explained. Which I'm very happy to be saying this because it would have really sucked if they introduced this guy as Ben's new best bud and then Ben and him wasn't the non-romantic OTP. But since that was probably very obvious I'll give you two more. I actually quite enjoy Kevin and Rook purely for the pure chaos it causes and they're both seemingly unaware of it and then they both get to geek out over tech. And of course, Rook and Gwen. They're both the most "down-to-earth" characters in the show so they bounce off each other pretty well and it's simply hilarious to see how they both have to deal with Ben.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Okay, so I guess this is my most unpopular opinion... I do not care for the idea Rook would be more cat-like. Hilarious coming from me, someone who is a diehard fan of catpeople (specifically catboys, seriously ask @koo1creations she'll tell ya) but I just don't feel it fits Rook and I actually find it kind of ruins what I enjoy about the character. The whole thing with Rook is he's very elegant in how he approaches anything and giving him a more "feral" (for lack of a better term) appearance and actions takes away the magic of Ben and Rook's chemistry because now they're both rather chaotic, I guess. Plus, losing his tail is actually a sign of growing up in his culture so I find it accidentally makes him seem "younger" which also ruins a lot for me because I find him being clearly older and therefore more mature than Ben far more entertaining.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened to this character: I wish he freaking appeared in the reboot. Like I may not have watched it yet but I'm frankly annoyed he was not a character especially since some other characters from Omniverse were. He was at least referenced I guess but that doesn't make me any happier. Like Rook is very unique and a fun character so to ditch him is unfortunate. I imagine he was probably a character the writers may not have felt confident in writing in a new setting since he was pretty much the only thing well liked among most Ben 10 fans about Omniverse. Everything else was very controversial. I suppose there's also always the possibility they just didn't really care for him but at least wanted to leave some nods to him for the other fans but I prefer not to think the negative of the writers especially since, even though I don't love it, I can tell the people who wrote the reboot really loved all of Ben 10 and did their best to make a great adaption.

Thanks for the ask! This was super fun! I never get to talk about Rook so it actually gave me an opportunity to really gather my thoughts.

[bluewarf]

I have a lot of scattered thoughts about Dungeon Meshi vol. 9, actually. (gonna talk about spoilers below)

-Marcille has a definite habit of misjudging and infantilizing the other races. Comes with the territory of being an elf. Even so, she seems to take that tendency to the extreme with Fallin. Maybe it's because Fallin was so young when they first met? I do think it's interesting though to view it through the lens of Marcille having unacknowledged romantic feelings for her. Loudly insisting that Fallin's just a little girl who needs looking after is a lot safer than examining the depth and nature of her attachment to her best friend.

-that said, Marcille x fireball OTP

-The look of pure excitement on her face after being told that she'd just been killed and brought back-- babygirl, you are just as much of a freak as all these other weirdos in your party.

-Speaking of, Laios' internal moment of "oh, but I'm the freak?" when Marcille casually mentions having eaten fish testicles.

-and to continue on the subject of the dynamic between these two characters specifically, there's a lot to unpack with Laois' succubus taking the form of Marcille, his initial reaction to it, and the way that it ultimately goes about winning him over. So much so that I don't know where to begin with it, really.

-everyones' succubi have some interesting implications. Marcille having the romantic sensibilities of a middle school girl and/or telemundo-addicted abuela. Chilchuck being charmed by generic Hot Single half-foot ladies who bear no resemblance to the estranged wife that he's nonetheless remained faithful to. Whatever the fuck senshi had goin on.

-and of course, Izutsumi. kitten. :( She really doesn't seem to have had anybody looking out for her before joining Laios' party. Even Toshiro, who calls his servants family, was so quick to leave her behind in the dungeon when she went MIA. I do love the moment where she pauses to consider the idea of her beast half as a companion and partner. OTP ended with Marcille/fireball, Izutsumi/self-acceptance is my new ship.

-(in light of the nature of her succubus, I'm choosing to interpret her as aro-ace btw. girl CAN still appreciate the raw sensual power of a panther tho.)

-Chilchuck's dad side really comes out where Izutsumi's concerned. The way that he tries to guide her to the "right" answer when she's frustrated with the rest of the group, how quickly he assumes responsibility for her seemingly disappearing, and the fact that he's the first to suggest looking for her despite in no way being physically up for it when he's normally mr. pragmatism. I am such a sucker for adoptive parent/child dynamics.

-oh yeah, why did that cute little page spread of "monsters that steal your heart" on chapter 60 kick off with chil having a nightmare about his three daughters being axe murdered (by himself?) and senshi getting ensnared by a vision of his former party alive and embracing him. all drawn in a chibi style. Ryoko Kui has really mastered tonal whiplash.

all of that isn't even beginning to touch on Kabru, Mithrun, and the massive lore drops, but I'm gonna have to come back to that later.

[the-bi-space-ace]

“Send me a character” ask but I want to ask for both Arthur and John from Malevolent if possible. 💜

Of course you can ask for both 🩶

Arthur:

Favorite Thing: he gives off my favorite traits in a character: sad, traumatized, angry, and genuinely caring. He is The Character. Also I love horror.

Least Favorite Thing: he tends to judge people based on his own biases really quick. Very human of him so I love it from a writing and character perspective but it is one of his least desirable traits.

Favorite Line: “Daddy should’ve taught you to tie a better knot.” ARTHUR LESTER WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!? I cannot believe that came out of his mouth I am SHOCKED say it again Arthur. That was the coolest he’s ever been.

brOTP: genuinely it’s him and Peter, his partner who is dead. I wish we got to see more of them because Peter sounds like the BEST MAN.

OTP: I’m gonna say something wild. I want Arthur, Oscar, and John to be a weird mind bendy throuple and I’m not sorry about it. Any relationship Arthur is in is always between Arthur&John and someone else so I would gladly take that relationship any day of the week.

nOTP: ya know what I’ve not seen much in the Malevolent fandom that I can’t get behind. My nOTP is Arthur and Sleep.

Random headcanon: he really loves his hair played with. Like. Realllly loves it. He will fall asleep if someone does it to him. It hasn’t happened in so long he just wants to be loved 😭

Unpopular opinion: I actually really vibe with his ‘fuck around and find out’ attitude and I think more characters should be his level of gremlin energy. I love that he’s angry and vicious and he puts out this ‘don’t fuck with me’ vibe into the world. I love how intense he can be. How he’s so raw and real and has this amazing humanity to him that gets twisted and betrayed and I love it. I love how complicated he is. That he’s done bad things. That he’s hurt people. That sometimes he straight up doesn’t feel bad about it. I wish more characters had that kind of effort put into them. Podcasts do something that visual media rarely ever pulls off: perfecting the character work with the plot.

Song I associate with them: Fear & Delight by The Correspondents

Favorite picture of them: this art is excellent

John

Favorite thing: he’s a terrifying god trapped in a man’s head and he’s the equivalent of a cat. I love this energy he has. He’s a clingy, loud, ball of fury. The perfect killing machine in an itty bitty package.

Least favorite: he can be incredibly selfish and very manipulative and it hurts not only Arthur but also himself and the people around them.

Favorite Line: This Too Shall Pass. Classic.

OTP: same answer 🩶🩶🩶 although I ship him more with Arthur than Oscar but still. Weird other worldly throuple where he once tried to have Arthur kill Oscar and now they're all just like kinda chill about it.

brOTP: John & the movies. Besties 🩶

nOTP: John & the axe. Put it DOWN JOHN.

Unpopular opinion: 99% of the time podcasts are better than other forms of media. Genuinely could not think of an unpopular John opinion lol

Song I associate with them: Fire by Barns Courtney

Favorite picture of them: I love this art the best <3

hmmmmmm for character game I pick: Chris Redfield!!

CHRIS-TO-PHERRRER my boyyyyy!! Thank u so much for picking him, I love to think about Chris!

How I feel about this character: Chris Redfield, to me, is an unholy amalgam made up of bits and pieces of all his wildly conflicting portrayals across the franchise. He's so different every time Capcom picks him up, and while that's true with Leon as well, re4r Leon is it for me, that's him, that's the guy, perfectly and fully formed, but with Chris I don't have that. There's no one single instance of Chris that hits the spot for me, so I've just been frankensteining this man in my head... How he looks in RE6, his good guy kindness from Vendetta and Death Island, his small town boy origins from Welcome to Raccoon City, his psychosexual rivalry with Wesker in 5, his unfortunately sexy smoking habit in Village, etc etc. I can't point to a single instance of him and say, "There! That's Chris!", which is an experience I've never had with a character before and has honestly been very interesting. Loving Chris Redfield is an ongoing scavenger hunt.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: ok buckle in, cause it starts with Wesker, of course, way back in their STARS days and well into 5. Then we have Piers in 6, Leon during Vendetta and Death Island, and finally we get to Ethan in Village. Would love it if we got Old Man Wesker in 9 and this beautiful shipping wheel came full circle and Chris' story ended on an unbearably melodramatic chrisker note...

My non-romantic OTP for this character: JILL! Jill Jill Jill Jill Jill Jill Jiiiiiiill!! They love each other so much, they're best friends, they're platonic life partners, they're the rock and the hard place, and they'll fuck your shit up TOGETHER.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't like his Village design 😕 Don't know what it is but he just looks.... Unpleasant? Something puffy about his face, something too aggressively muscular about his physique, and that haircut doesn't suit him... I dunno, I think they lost some of the Chris Redfield charm with that one.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I haaaaaate the million year time skip in 'Shadows of Rose' where Chris is 64 fucking years old and STILL fighting BOWs? No. No no no no no LET HIM RETIRE. Let him put this whole horrible thing down PLEASE. Like I guess he's still technically one year away from retirement age or whatever so maybe re9 happens immediately after and he gets rid of all the evil residents for good and then Jill buys him a cake and everyone on the Wolf Hound squad pitches in for a nice watch and congrats, world saved, happy retirement Chris Redfield! I guess that's possible.

[wily-one24]

The easy one to ask for me is Olivia Benson. But in case someone already has or you want a different choice: Amanda Rollins or Alex Cabot.

Time to buy a lotto ticket, because Imma do all three (!!! in my dreams, right?)

OLIVIA BENSON

--> How I feel about this character:

I mean, it's no secret that I love Olivia Benson.

I was speaking to a friend the other day about SVU and how it's lasted a long time. It's not just because the stories are interesting (they are) or even titilating (sexual assault, molestation, murder, they all have the possibility of titilation, but I don't think SVU goes there... not often at any rate... they do a pretty good job of not glorifying the abuse and horror).

A large part is, of course, Olivia Benson. She is the beating heart of SVU.

Olivia is strong, empathetic, fierce, she takes no prisoners, her morals are strong, she is caring and protective, and she will fight like hell for justice, sometimes at great personal cost.

Olivia is the person each of us has needed at one or more points in our lives. Also the person that the majority of us did not get.

Mariska talks about fans sending her letters to tell her how much Olivia has helped them. And it's true.

We have all wanted and needed an Olivia in our lives. And we have all, to some degree, wanted to be Olivia.

She is not perfect, she has her flaws, but they are easily overlooked for all the benefits she brings.

And we have watched her from baby Benson to seasoned Captain. We have grown with her.

She gives us hope.

And that is why we have 25 seasons of SVU.

--> All the people I ship romantically with this character:

Well, Elliot obviously. It's very strange, I don't even really like Elliot that much and during my rewatches by the end of S12 I am just counting down the episodes until he leaves. BUT, he is Olivia's main choice and he makes her happy. So, because I love Olivia, I want her to have what she wants.

Alex. Amanda. Barba. Langan (thought I get why they never went there). Rita a little.

I don't really read much of anything besides EO, but in my little dreams, I think the others would make excellent partners, or at least bedmates.

--> My non romantic OTP for this character:

Just to completely step on my own toes from the previous answer, but...

Barba. I adored their canon relationship, the besties that they were. They adored each other and were there when each needed the other. She needed a strong friendship like that, that wasn't tied to being their boss.

Obviously Noah. She waited so long for that boy. She loves him dearly and he loves her and they deserve all the happiness in the world together.

--> My unpopular opinion about this caracter:

I don't know if I really have one. She's a little too quick to anger and she's always a little too ready to break the law to suit her needs. But these are not opinions.

Perhaps, despite her later claims that she never wanted to be part of the "good ol' boys club" and how she acts distraught at the possibility one of her old interrogations may have been a forced confession... in the early years Olivia is all too ready to look the other way and, in fact, join in when Elliot and even Fin are being overly rough and forceful and breaking about ten different codes of police conduct.

There was one episode I saw recently where Elliot got all up in a step father's face, yelling, red faced, almost spitting out his hatred as he spoke of this man's lust for his daughter that they assumed he'd raped... it was quite heavy handed. And the guy eventually reacts and goes at Elliot. Olivia is instantly cuffing this guy and gleefully arresting him for assaulting a police officer. And like... Olivia Margaret Benson, you litereally just WATCHED Elliot provoke him.

Elliot's violence got results and she was all too ready to excuse him for it.

She never would have grown into the amazing police woman she is had Elliot stayed around. She gave him way too much power in that partnership.

--> One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character:

I want somebody to choose her.

So many of the people she has loved have ended up leaving, because they stayed too long, because they sacrificed their own morals for her, because they broke the law for her, because... because... because... and she even says "I didn't ASK you to" and it makes no difference.

I'm not saying they didn't have good reason to leave. They're adults they can choose.

One thing I have consistently said, is that the show repeats "the average stint in SVU is two years" several times. That is, of course, unless you meet Olivia Benson. Then it becomes your life's purpose. She doesn't see that these people have stayed for her, stayed longer than is healthy, longer than they meant to.... and all because of her. She doesn't see that, she sees them leave.

But just once I wish someone would choose to leave the job and stay with her.

Girl deserves a bit of happiness and stability.

Hey fam <3 How are your feelings towards Ominis and/or Amit and/or Leander? :3 I know I am being greedy so please pick whichever one you'd like 🤭🌷

Hi hi 🧀 my dear sorry for taking so long to answer. Mmmmm I think ima pick Omi for this!

How I feel about this character

Omi was the first HL character I really fell for and the first I wrote for. I suppose I can thank him for really cementing my interest in fanfic when I went on a mad binge in Spring last year writing a tonne of requests. I knew from the word Gaunt that I'd love his story and was so surprised and happy to see a representation of a Slytherin who abhors the dark arts and wants to do better than his family's reputation, shunning their legacy. There's so much to explore when writing his character and I'd really love to do something with his Aunt Noctua one day (either an AU or childhood fic). And he is of course one half of my OTP 🖤

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Mostly Garreth of course! I never really intended to fall for Garrinis as much as I did. I just had an idea of 'I wonder what would happen if Garreth helped Ominis in potions...' and it went from there. I said this in my answer for Garreth but I love the Slytherin x Gryffindor / sunshine x grumpy dynamic. Gar gives him the uncomplicated love Omi deserves and has never had, and a family who basically adopt him.

I did also begin writing a Sebinis fic ages ago which was (I think) beautiful in many ways, though for various reasons I dont really write Seb anymore. But I love soft Sebinis.

Also open to Andrew x Omi and Leander x Omi (thanks to @ellivenollivander and @pandanscafanfiction respectively).

Oddly enough I don't have an OC I ship with Omi (yet).

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Ngl I love writing Omi and Seb bickering like an old married couple 🤣 if they're not romantically involved they're still absolute besties and inseparable despite their past. Bonded through trauma and all that.

I've not explored it myself but Anne absolutely deserves a mention. They were obviously very close. Would love fic recs for a platonic Omi and Anne relationship.

My unpopular opinion about this character

Ehhhh I'm sure there's lots. The fandom is very divided on his...sexual preferences. I see Ominis mostly as a soft dom because I think after being controlled by his family for so long he would crave the ability to control the intimacy until he trusted his partner unequivocally. There's also the aspect of his blindness; unexpected sensations might be overwhelming for him.

Also food?? I absolutely agree this boy cannot handle spice however I think he has a refined palate. Despite his family being broke af I hc at that point the Gaunts were deeply in debt and had started selling their heirlooms to keep up appearances, to keep being able to afford the finer things in life as a matter of pride. They'd also still be invited to high society balls and banquets and the like so could expect a lot of fine cuisine with French influences.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I've have loved to explore his experiences and relationships with his family more. The hint at Gaunt manor as a potential location in game is such a tease. He deserved his own questline separate from Sebastian, and to be reunited with a healed Anne.
