Hi!!! I love this question!!!

So first of all, I made an LU character guide here that might be helpful!

Ok the rest of this got reeeeeally long so I’m throwing a read more in lol.

Hyrule Warriors isn’t technically like, Zelda canon, but Jojo (the creator of Linked Universe) added Warriors in because they love that game.

The girl you’re referring to is Cia. I also don’t know a ton of details about her tbh, but she started the war because she’s unhealthily obsessed with him and in love with him. There’s also a plot line in the game where a significant portion of Warriors’ army betrays him and he has to fight them, so he has a lot of trauma from that.

And Warriors is a Captain in the Hyrule army. So, he’s a soldier through and through. That’s where a lot of his personality traits stem from, I think. I wouldn’t say he has an ego. He’s confident, but when I write him a lot of that confidence is for show. I write him as insecure and traumatized, but he knows how to put on his Captain Face ™ for his soldiers, so he does the same for the other Links- especially since he is the second oldest and de-facto second in command. I also write his ‘ego’ as a show by making him care a lot about his appearance. If Cia started the war because of him (he thinks it’s his fault, as heroes do) then if he looks perfect, people will be less disappointed in him when they find out that he isn’t actually perfect. That kind of thing

The war was called the War of Ages because there were a lot of time traveling shenanigans. None of this is technically canon to LU, but enough people love it and include it as fanon that it’s canon to me hehehehe: A lot of people from different timelines (meaning different LoZ games) were brought to Warriors’ Hyrule through portals to fight in the war.

The most important two is Time and Wind were present! Time was fresh out of the Majora’s Mask plotline, so he showed up as a traumatized and snarky little kid with a shit ton of masks. He was called Mask. Warriors became his big brother and they were very close. Wind is older, so he’s already gone through the events of Linked Universe by the time he gets to the war. He’s called Toon.

Tbh, most of the fanfic stuff that focuses on the war of ages doesn’t mention Wind. It’s mostly focused on Time and Warriors’ relationship dynamic: Time used to be Warriors’ little brother, but now he’s a middle aged man and in charge of the group of heroes. It was a long time for Time, but not for Warriors. Plus, LU Wind hasn’t been to the war of ages yet so he doesn’t have those memories and experiences.

Here’s what most fanfic sources do for Warriors’ relationship with the other Links:

Wind: Wars is his big brother. They’re buddies

Legend: they’re besties but they show it through snark and light-hearted arguing. But they’re besties I promise hehe

Twilight: a very brotherly relationship, including the teasing

Wild: Wars respects Wild very much because of his time as a knight and because he survived such horrible injuries

Four: they don’t interact a ton :((((( I just realized I can’t think of a fanfic of Wars and Four. Does anyone reading this know of one??

Time: I LOVE THEIR DYNAMIC SO MUCH!!! In the War, Warriors was Time’s big brother. He was probably the first Hylian authority figure Time ever respected. But now in LU, Time is older than him, the leader of the group, and group dad. So they have to juggle that. Usually when I write them, Time acts like dad in front of the group but when it’s just him and Wars he acts like Warriors’ little brother again

Sky: they also don’t interact a ton. Warriors respects Sky as a knight and as his predecessor I imagine. I bet they would spar a lot for practice, especially since Sky is the best with a sword in the group

Hyrule: they also don’t interact a ton. I can’t think of any fanfics with Hyrule and Warriors either. I imagine Hyrule would be slightly intimidated by Wars since he’s such an accomplished soldier and one of the kind of authority figures of the group. OH in the comic there’s a really awesome scene of the two of them fighting together. Hyrule let his confidence show through a bit and Warriors encouraged it and they defeated a ton of monsters.

Despite being one of the few official soldiers, Warriors very much respects all his fellow heroes. He would probably track their strengths and weaknesses and put all their strengths to good use during battle.

@silvercaptain24 @echoing--stars and @hyah-through-hyrule Are three Warriors experts I know, so if you want to get a feel for his personality I would recommend reading their fanfictions. I also have a few Warriors centric fics on my AO3 :)

I didn’t know much about him when I got into LU either so I learned his personality through fanfic. And now he’s one of my favorites!!

Feel free to ask any more questions!!! I hope this helps!!! :DDDDD!!!

Regarding Warriors Link…

So I’m familiar with about every Zelda game EXCEPT Hyrule Warriors.

I had it years ago and remember starting to play it but got confused because I was just constantly… fighting? It’s not canon right? Not mainline game…?

So I was surprised when seeing Warriors as a character in this LU stuff.

Like I saw him in the fanart and was like “who is that??”

I tried looking into it a little. I guess some witch girl has a crush on Link… so there’s problems…? As for his personality in the game, he seemed to have a little…. Ego? Maybe just more confidence idk.

Can y’all tell me more about him or link me to more stuff about him bc I wish to understand this mystery man 😭

#linked universe #lu warriors #hehehehhehee #this was fun #happy stimming as I type this

HER RELATIONSHIP WITH 127

TAEIL + SEREN

SEREIL

She's his #1 fan, no joke here. Sohee is always praising his vocals and visuals, she had said multiply times that Taeil is indeed her favorite oppa, since the moment he took her under his wing she decided that she will always try to make him happy. He has a big heart so she's always taking care of that.

He also takes care of her, she's his baby after all, and is always mad that SM doesn't let her show her amazing vocals.

Always hugging him and there's a ton of compilations of her and Haechan fighting for his attention. And, of course, always begging for Taeil solo.

JOHNNY + SEREN

SOHNNY

Johnny is the brother she never had. He was the first nct member she met.

He always takes care of her, since the moment she arrived. But also likes to be that annoying big brother (she doesn't mind that much). Gives her a lot of hugs when feeling sad.

AND fun fact lmao she had her first beer with him because "it has to be with family" and HE IS family, her parents love him and will forever be grateful with him. They actually may love him a little more than they love her but it's okay cause his mother does love her more and it's always asking for "that little baby star",,,, sigh they're family!!

TAEYONG + SEREN

TAEREN

He's her leader and like a dad, of course she loves him. Since she's the only female member he tends to worry about her a little more — is she sleeping well? is she eating? how is she doing?

It's something he can't really help, he needs to take care of her. Sohee always goes to him and ask for help whenever she feels like her rapping is not that good (which is a total lie).

Even though he's the dad in the relationship, she tends to take care of him too, specially in nights when he can't sleep or is feeling stressed. She just wants him to feel that he's not alone in this.

Fact: roommates <3

YUTA + SEREN

YUREN

It's crazy, really, and Yuta can't believe it because she is tiny and cute, but sometimes... She may seem a little intimidating and, even though he doesn't want to accept it, sexy on stage. But he knows better, that's just fake because she is indeed a big baby. His big baby? He sure hopes so (even if he has to fight Taeil and maknae line).

Their friendship at the beginning was weird cause during trainee and rookie years Sohee was always stuck with Red Velvet members so they didn't had that much time to interact, or more like they didn't tried. But now they know they were idiots and love each other more than anything, maybe Yuta a little more.

He's the one who holds her hand in airports and hypes her the most when she's doing literally anything.

Yuta likes to sit between her and Mark so he can give his full attention to both, but ends up getting jealous of just those two talking and giggling 😔 pay attention to him pls

DOYOUNG + SEREN

DOHEE

This friendship is kinda cute-funny because at the beginning Sohee was his baby, not doubt.

Doyung would always show her off and talk nonstop about her, whenever she was fighting one of the members he would pick her side, and trust me when I tell you that he would kick 127 asses if they did something to her.

But the last year their relationship became a little more playful to the point that one moment they're ready to throw hands, pulling pranks, insulting each other and the next one they're hugging — he keeps saying it's Haechan's fault she's that way.

(Still picks her side on everything.)

JAEHYUN + SEREN

SOHYUN

Cutest best friends, fans think they're soulmates. Always together, like in interviews they sit together (and judge everything and everyone lmao), sometimes they laugh like the funniest thing happened and that kind of makes the members feel left out (like wth what's so funny???) but it's not on purpose!!!

Used to do vlives on Tuesdays, not every week but they tried, Sohee called it "Tuesyay" (she was drunk okay! besides nctzen liked it so) and it was just them cooking or doing cute domestic things.

But honestly that's nothing compared to how they are when there's no cameras around, they hug even more and watch movies in his (and jungwoo's) room, especially when one of them can't sleep or is feeling down, they really help each other and it's really cute.

They're a pretty big famous ship in the fandom, and even non nctzen know about them. Tbh it doesn't bother them cause they really do love each other but they would like to be known for their talent instead of just fans shipping them, that's why lately they're trying to not be like that in front of cameras.

JUNGWOO + SEREN

SOWOO

He's the prettiest boy she has ever seen, Sohee was so happy he became an nct member and even more when it was announced that he was gonna be in 127.

They're iconic and really flirty with each other which is a surprise for the members (well for yuta and maknae line) cause she! is! not! like! that! with! them! and it's not like they want to, right? but how??? she's a baby she can't do that!!

Always telling that HE! IS! PERFECT! his vocals are amazing and his dancing skills 100/100. Damn she just loves him too much.

Jungwoo loves her so much, too. She can be doing nothing and he's like "YES YOU GO"

MARK + SEREN

MAREN

Precious 99 liners!! They're so cute together, kind of give that puppy love vibe which it may be true but they're also just friends and always have been, even though she used to have a crush on him but you didn't heard it from me okk? That's long gone and tbh she feels like finding a person like him it's weird and hard, he's so unique that ruining that would just kill her so they're precious best friends that tell each other everything and that's it.

Ngl Johnny and Taemin ships them almost as much as half of the fandom, but because they're not that obvious with their skinship they don't push it that much. They're more like longing stares and a lot of smiles when the other is talking, more in the admiring side.

He was soooo shy when they met and she was like ?? but after 2 weeks they became friends.

HAECHAN + SEREN

SOHYUCK

He's just,,, ugh sometimes she wants to punch him so hard but then she remembers he's her Haechanie whom she loves with her whole heart. It's weird really, he's always pulling pranks on her or bothering her but the next moment he doesn't let anyone touch her.

Doesn't call her noona and tbh she doesn't care, that makes them feel close. She always saves his ass from Doyoung and sometimes Renjun, she would do it a thousand times. That's her Haechanie, how could she not save him? Besides she's the only one who can kick his ass.

Expect him to try to give her kisses on every live (he know she can't hit him on camera lmao)

I read the Grey thing and she's right. It's basically unanimously agreed that Azula is abusive. But the whole point is that Azula changes herself first and then gets into a relationship with Ty lee based off of love and trust, not intimidation. It's a lesson on changing as a person and forgiveness, which is literally what atla is about. And bdsm isn't abusive at all, it's fairly normal. It seems like people who bashed her either hated tyzula to begin with or minors that didn't understand contxt

I’m fine with the BDSM thing. I know it’s not abuse lmao I was pretty much fine with the whole thing till I realized something about the abusive part lmao most people would advice someone to NOT return back to their abuser, because abusers don’t and can’t change. Sure, with someone new in their life, maybe they can try to change, but that takes years and a lot of intense therapy BUT it rarely ever succeeds.

Abusers are aware that what they’re doing is wrong, but they still do it because they selfishly want everything to go their way and completely disregard the other party’s voice. They DON’T feel remorse for their actions because they literally don’t care about their victim. They want their victim to only listen to them, depend on them— basically obey them for every second of their life. There is no ounce of freedom for the victim of abuse and the abuser will break them mentally and emotionally (sometimes even physically) to make sure the control will be effective. They don’t care about their victim’s happiness. They only care about themselves, and when confronted or triggered, will retaliate by demeaning and gaslighting and guilt tripping their victim. Everything they do and say is part of their calculated plan to ingrain self doubt and destroy their victim’s self-esteem. By the end of the humiliation rant, the victim will feel like utter shit and think it’s their fault, and THAT is the abuser’s aim. Abusers are different from those who have anger issues. Abusers are absolutely in control of their self 24/7. It is control which they pride themselves for, so they are fully aware of what they’re doing and fully aware of the effects on their victim. In their mind, it is never their fault and always the victim’s. There doesn’t need to be an actual reason or ‘trigger’ for their abuse. They just do it whenever there’s a slightest desire of freedom from their victim. And while abusing their victim, they will actually enjoy it— enjoy the control and enjoy the power, hence not feeling any ounce of remorse at all. This isn’t a habit that can be changed. It’s rarely ever changed. It’s a behavior that can be prevented in the first place, but abusers just don’t care. Abusers are pretty much close to being monsters. They just murder the person’s soul instead of the body.

This is a prime example of abuse:

1. Petty trigger ✓

2. Insert self doubt ✓

3. Destroy self-esteem ✓

THIS is abuse. And Ozai doesn’t even feel a shed of remorse or guilt for how he treated his family. At all. Because in his mind, he is right and has always been right. He believes that it is his actual RIGHT to control his family. This is what a abuser does, and this is what they will always be.

The problem now here is that labeling Azula’s behavior to be abusive, means that she literally did not see Mai and Ty Lee as friends, but simply objects that belonged to her. Calling her to be abusive would mean that did not want them to befriend or be engaged with anyone else but her. HOWEVER. What happened in the series contradicts this. Azula intentionally set up Mai and Zuko together (she and Ty Lee have been literally shipping them forever), Azula also was more than fine with letting everyone go their separate ways when they went to Ember Island simply as ordinary teenagers and more importantly, she never once demeaned her friends.

The thing about Azula is that there’s the 14 year old teenager Azula, and then there’s the Warrior Princess Azula. Notice how when she was off duty in Book 3, there was absolutely no display of ‘abusive’ behavior, or even toxic or an ounce of manipulation and fear. Yes, she occasionally used her advantage of being Princess to make Mai leave to have a private conversation with Zuko, but is that enough to call it abusive? Not really.

Now, the evidence that people usually use to say that Azula was abusive is when she threatened Ty Lee into joining her mission and then the famous exchange between Mai and Azula: “I love Zuko more than I fear you.”

Consider that Azula was in her Warrior Princess mode in both times. She treated them just like she would to any other soldier. She approached Ty Lee as a friend, and that failed, so she switched to her military tactics which was using fear to set her soldier to the right direction. Was it wrong? Definitely. Was it ethical? No. But was it logical at that point? Yes. But was it abusive? Debatable. The control and fear factor was obviously there, but the intention and role that Azula undertook was different from an ordinary abusive person who wanted control simply for their own benefit. In that point of time, Azula didn’t see them as friends, but merely soldiers who were meant to be led by their leader: Princess Azula.

But like I said, her behavior around them differed from in Book 2 and Book 3 because of the roles she was playing. Book 2 was Warrior Princess Azula, and then Book 3 was just Azula hence her being just ‘normal’ around them. Let’s not forget that Azula actually felt remorse for her actions which is unusual for abusive people, even when confronted. Azula believed that trust does not exist because she’s been betrayed and disappointed whenever she did give her trust. She never selectively used fear against people like abusers do. She literally treated everyone the same (except her own abuser and family), because that’s all she’s ever known her entire life to actually work. Family loyalty means something to her, which is why she didn’t feel the need to do the same to Zuko. Azula never demeaned or destroyed anyone’s self esteem either like Ozai did (playful taunting is normal).

I think it’s also important to mention that while yes, most abusers have been abused themselves during their childhood so they carry it with them in their life— Azula’s case seems to just be relying on the belief that fear and control is the most reliable way to get what she wants. And she is in a position of power, so that works out perfectly for her. Azula abuses her power, but not her friends.

Calling Azula abusive would mean that Azula was actually Ozai, except the younger and female version. A lot of people today find Azula redeemable. No one thinks Ozai the same because he is abusive.

Azula is toxic, but certainly not abusive. The word abusive carries a heavy meaning so I’m very nit picky whenever the word is thrown around. Abusers don’t deserve redemption, but evidently Azula does. So, personally, I can’t label her as an abuser because of reasons mentioned above. If someone still ships an abuser with their victim despite so, that just doesn’t feel right and tbh it’s a dangerous mentality to have.

Episode 46: The One with All the Yunmeng Bros Angst

gross, ouyang and yao are talking. let’s ignore them!

blah blah plot plot blah

ooh thank god, wwx is now the one talking

being all detective-y and asking relevant questions

I LOVE MY SUNSHINE BOY WHEN HE'S BEING CLEVER

wwx makes some Plot Relevant Point and yao is like I DISAGREE bc ofc he fucking does

LOL WWX'S FACE WHEN YAO INTERRUPTS LIKE THAT

IT'S LIKE HE'S BITING DOWN ON HIS TONGUE TO NOT SNAP SOMETHING BACK

kudos to him on his self-control tbh but it's wasted on yao.

wwx is all asking things like why are you ladies fessing up now, oh and btw that's a real neat bracelet you got there...

and then nhs is like, gee i wonder what kind of person would've sent these ladies here today

LOLOLOL NHS IS SUCH A TROLL OMG

and yao is like DETAILS DON'T MATTER, WHAT IS CRITICAL THINKING ANYWAY LET'S GO MURDER FOR JUSTICE AGAIN

and everyone else is like, HEY, THIS LOUD GUY HAS A POINT LET'S GO MURDER

okay, they don't actually say anything about murder but they're harping about "justice"

The last time they did that, it resulted in murder so i'm gonna go ahead and assume this time isn't any different

lwj: many skeptical points remain

THANK YOU, LWJ, FOR BEING SENSIBLE

oh, and i would like to point out that the crowd had been getting rowdy

but the minute lwj interjected there they all fell silent

My guy didn't even raise his voice and was able to shut up a whole room full of people.

I LOVE YOU HANGUANG JUN

lqr: what are they?

wwx: SO MANY.

wwx makes some Points and is like so we got some witnesses now but where's the HARD EVIDENCE GUYS??

and yao is like, whatever, we'll find it sooner or later now that we know THE TRUTH

and wwx's reaction lolol

it's like oh my god how stupid is this guy, that's not how it works, that's not how ANY of this works

I FEEL YOUR PAIN, WWX, I FEEL IT IN MY SOUL

ppl are blabbering Plot Stuff

i'm just gonna enjoy the occasional shots of wwx and lwj's beautiful faces

blah blah blah plot plot plot blah

gosh, my boys are so pretty

LOOK AT THEM BEING PRETTY, I LOVE THEM

(i say as the crowd devolves into vicious mob mentality)

wwx's had enough of this and turns to leave bc angry mobs are old news at this point

And we all know how he ended up last time there was an angry mob

but yao and some rando interrupt his exit as if they have ANY RIGHT to speak to my sunshine boy at all

Eventually we DO escape sword hall and the mob of stupid people and our boys are alone together wandering lotus pier!!!

they're reviewing Plot Info and bouncing ideas off each other and IT'S BEAUTIFUL, THEY'RE SO SMART AND IN LOVE

They determine that they don't have enough clues to say who the mysterious 3rd party is

but they def have enough evidence showing jgy murdered nmj and is generally an evil conniving bastard.

lwj mentions that he's going to send word to his brother to be careful since jgy is EVIL FOR SURE NOW.

oooh, our boys just came upon the jiang clan's ancestral shrine

wwx freezes, eyes red-rimmed and shiny, MY POOR SUNSHINE BOY

lwj: what's wrong?

ALL OF HIS ATTENTION IS GLUED TO WWX'S EVERY MOVE ALL THE TIME, ISN'T IT??

SEE HOW INTENTLY HE LOOKS AT WWX??

me too, lan zhan, me too

wwx: nothing. it's the ancestral hall of the jiang clan

he says this softly, like it hurts to acknowledge it or smth

lwj: do you want to enter?

wwx: no

WHICH IS A BLATANT LIE

EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM IS SCREAMING HOW MUCH HE WANTS TO GO IN THERE

they make to turn away and pause for a moment, during which wwx looks back at the shrine longingly

cut to the next scene where we see wwx burning some incense sticks in the shrine

AND OUR BOYS BOW TOGETHER 3x TO M-YU, JFM, AND JYL

wwx greets his deceased loved ones solemnly

wwx: it's me. i'm here to disturb you again.

idk about m-yu and jfm, BUT JYL WOULD NEVER THINK WWX'S PRESENCE WAS A DISTURBANCE

now wwx is telling lwj about how he used to spend a ton of time in that shrine bc m-yu would punish him by sending him there to, idk, reflect on his sins before the ancestors or smth

and lwj is like, yeah, i heard about that

then wwx comments on how he's never met a woman as irritable as m-yu, and how she punished him for trifles all the time

then he laughs bashfully and says "my fault, my fault" and bows another 3x bc omg wwx you can't speak ill of the dead, especially not at their shrine

this is a nice moment between them so far, actually.

it's nice to hear wwx reminisce in a way that's not 100% painful

and the fact that he's sharing these little bits of inconsequential info with lwj, his soulmate, is just very sweet to me

lwj: won't you tell jc?

wwx: idk. at least not yet

lwj: after all, you two are sworn brothers

it's nice of lwj to acknowledge that, without any sort of rancor in his tone, considering how much he does not care for jc (to put it mildly)

wwx: since the misunderstanding between us is so deep, it's not that easy to solve

HE SOUNDS SO RESIGNED, AND THE LITTLE SMILE THAT FLASHED BRIEFLY THERE WAS JUST SO SAD

and then he's like, besides, I created Plot Device 2, regardless of whether or not jgy ended up using it to make Plot Device 3

UH OH, HERE COMES JC

jc: wei wuxian

OH GOD, CAN HE PACK ANY MORE BITTERNESS AND VENOM INTO THAT NAME??

wwx stands immediately when he hears jc call, he doesn't look at him tho

lwj stands a beat after as jc enters the shrine

jc: you still take yourself as one of the jiang clan? come and go at any time you like, then bring people here when you wish. Do you remember whose house this is? who's the owner?

YIKES

THAT ONE HURT.

and wwx just takes it

wwx: i didnt take hanguang jun to any confidential places in Lotus Pier. i just brought him here to offer some incense to clan leader jiang and madam yu.

he's so submissive here and not even in a fun way

it’s in his posture and tone of voice, even in how he still doesn't look directly at jc...it makes me sad

wwx: we're leaving

He tries to retreat bc he def doesn't want this this confrontation to happen

jc: you really should kneel down to them, for coming to their presence to destroy the view and ruin their quiet.

DOUBLE YIKES.

that one hurt EVEN MORE

and lwj, who had been following wwx's lead and staying quiet, intervenes

lwj: clan leader jiang, pay attention to your words

oh boy if looks could kill, jc would be dead as a doornail

he's like HURT MY SOULMATE AGAIN, I DARE YOU. JUST GIVE ME A REASON AND I WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN

which is pretty gutsy since jc is higher ranked than him, technically, as clan leader.

AND they're both in jc's domain rn!

jc: what did you say? i think someone else needs to watch his behavior

he's glaring at wwx's back and he's got a mean twist to his mouth that would be a smile if it weren't so cruel

jc: you have already been kicked out of our family. how dare you enter and face my parents and my sister?

STOP HURTING MY SUNSHINE BOY

wwx is just accepting this. he's just accepting all these cruel things with his eyes downcast and submissive

BC IT HURTS AND HE BELIEVES HE DESERVES IT

lwj: jiang wanyin

HOLY SHIT

lwj fucking HISSED that name

and he took a VERY MENACING step towards jc

MY GUY

MY GUY, YOU CAN'T ATTACK A CLAN LEADER

ESPECIALLY NOT IN HIS OWN HOME

LIKE, I TOTALLY GET WHY YOU'D WANT TO RN, AND, Y'KNOW, I'M NOT THE MOST POLITICALLY SAVVY PERSON AROUND

BUT THIS JUST SEEMS LIKE A BAD IDEA ALL AROUND

thank god wwx is there

wwx stops him, pressing the palm of his hand into lwj's torso (!!!!!)

wwx: lan zhan. lan zhan, let's go

he practically whispers this, head bent down, AGAIN SUPER SUBSERVIENT

but jc is looking for a fight and he's not letting go until he gets one, apparently

jc: go as far as you can. i don't want to see you AWFUL PEOPLE again before my dead family

wwx just halts in his steps.

he had been all prepared to go after taking that tongue lashing that he thinks he's earned, but at that he takes a deep, fortifying breath bc jc crossed a line

he purses his lips a moment before turning to finally face jc head on

wwx: jc, scold me as you like but not the others (aka LWJ)

oooh, but that was the wrong thing to say to jc right now bc jc goes off on a VERY PAINFUL rant

he's like, oh, i should be nice to lwj? don't you remember that MY PARENTS WERE KILLED AND LOTUS PIER FELL bc you just HAD to play hero and save lwj?? and it wasn't enough! you HAD to play hero and SAVE THE WENS too, which killed my sister!!

oh he's getting really mean here

he's like, how generous you are wwx! letting wn wander the entrance of lotus pier and letting lwj offer incense!!

the minute jc started his rant, wwx cast his eyes to the side, again just enduring everything jc is throwing at him

oh but now jc starts in on lwj again

he's like, lwj, the great second jade, ignoring his reputation to side with wwx, your brother and uncle must be so proud

wwx: JIANG WANYIN!

wwx shouts at him

he's shaky and almost panting here.

wwx: apologize this instant.

jc: apologize? why should i? bc i insulted your great friendship?

THIS WHOLE ENCOUNTER IS A SHIT SHOW AND IT HURTS.

wwx just loses it here and grabs jc by the collar of his robes and gives him a shake

wwx: ARE YOU DONE?

and jc is still the little brother, you know, so obvs he does not back down here, he's not intimidated at all

jc: LET'S FIGHT THEN. should i be afraid of you two?

wwx's breath is all shaky and he's trembling and he would've given into jc's demands for a fight anyway but then he sees jyl's nameplate

and he must remember how upset jyl would get every time they fought

ME TOO, JYL, ME TOO. I HATE THIS, I HATE THIS, MAKE IT STOP

so he lets go of jc and stumbles back. he's looking very weak right now AND I’M VERY CONCERNED

lwj, obvs, catches him by the arm when he stumbles

lwj: wei ying

wwx: lan zhan, let's go

lwj agrees and the two of them turn and leave the shrine, lwj still gripping wwx's arm and providing support bc wwx is NOT looking good what’s happening to my sunshine boy, somebody fix this RIGHT NOW

BUT JC IS LIKE A DOG WITH A BONE BC HE JUST STORMS AFTER THEM, HE WANTS HIS FIGHT

he freaking leaps across the little lotus pond and lands before them, blocking off their exit

he starts antagonizing wwx, and he grabs wwx by the collar now, and again, wwx just takes it BUT LWJ DOESN'T

lwj slams his hand around jc's wrist (the one that's grabbing wwx), WRAPPING HIS FINGERS AROUND JC'S ZIDIAN, EVEN

lwj: let him go

holy crap. Stone Cold. LWJ'S STARE IS STONE COLD, AND HE TIGHTENS HIS GRIP ON JC'S WRIST

god damn, if lwj ever looked at me like that, i'd drop to the ground and beg for forgiveness. i'd be scared witless

when jc makes no move to let go of wwx, lwj releases his wrist and hooks his arm under jc's forearm and shoves upward to FINALLY break jc's hold on wwx

wwx stumbles at the force of it and his nose starts to bleed

MY POOR PRECIOUS SUNSHINE BOY LOOKS SO WEAK AND OUT OF IT!!

lwj looks at him, eyes wide with worry

lwj: wei ying!

even jc looks concerned (i would even say scared, tbh)

wwx reaches up and wipes his nose; he's not steady on his feet AT ALL

wwx: lan zhan, let's go.

lwj: okay

and he immediately starts to leave, practically dragging wwx with him bc wwx is barely able to stand at this point

lol, lwj shoulder checks jc as they walk past him

but jc is a stubborn bastard and brings out zidian and whips at their retreating backs

brief moment here to admire how FREAKING COOL THE ZIDIAN IS OMG,

*GRABBY HANDS* I WANT ONE OF MY OWN SO SO BAD.

IT'S A SNAKE BRACELET!!

THAT TURNS INTO A WHIP!!

A PURPLE WHIP!!! OF LIGHTNING!!!!!!

LITERALLY NO ASPECT OF THIS WEAPON IS UN-BADASS

so jc whips purple lightning at them but the hit never lands bc lwj swings his still-sheathed bichen and bats that attack away like nothing

but as he does that, wwx starts to fall

lwj spins around and AUDIBLY GASPS, eyes wide with worry again, as he watches wwx lose consciousness.

he dives forward and catches his soulmate in his arms and cradles him gently

jc doesn't see this happen and swings right back with another lash but wn swoops in out of nowhere to take the hit instead.

AND HERE WE'RE GONNA GET THE BIG REVEAL OH GOD I'M NOT READY

jc is all who let you in, how dare you?? and whips wn again

BUT WN WILL NOT STAY DOWN, NO SIR

HE'S GOT STUFF TO SAY AND BY GOD, HE'S GONNA SAY IT

he offers up suibian to jc but jc whips him and sends him flying again

Wn gets right back up goes back to offering the sword to jc, DEMANDING HE UNSHEATHE IT

AND IN A FIT OF FURY JC PULLS AT THE HANDLE AND SUIBIAN COMES FREE

SHOCK, UTTER SHOCK ON HIS AND LWJ'S FACES

(also YIKES jc nearly sliced out wn's eyes with the force of his unsheathing of siubian. he obvs didn't expect anything to come of him pulling at the handle)

GOLDEN CORE TRANSFER REVEAL!!

FLASHBACK to wn's part of the story

we see wn holding an unconscious jc and wq is telling wwx to come out from where he was hiding behind a convenient boulder

and we see wwx give the go ahead to start the golden core transfer

back to the present, jc looks like his whole world is a lie

bc it kinda is

I'm still kinda mad that wwx never told him anything.

like, i get why he didn't and i sympathize but informed consent in medicine and surgery is kind of a big deal!

and then omg, we got a close up shot of lwj's face

his eyes are wide and shiny and his jaw is dropped open just a bit. HE IS SHAKEN TO THE CORE

HAHAHA GET IT? THAT THING WWX DOESN’T HAVE ANYMORE?? Oh god i’m sorry that was AWFUL

he turns his gaze back to wwx, who is still resting gently in crook of his arm

i love the camera angle here btw

the scene is at a slant, with the white of bichen's handle, and the white of the flowering tree behind them filling all of the right side of the screen

it makes the dark bundle of wwx and the dark flow of lwj's hair more stark

the slant of it really emphasizes how the whole of lwj's attention is on the man in his arms

And how his whole world is off its axis at this revelation

god lwj is really just letting his whole heart pour out of his eyes as he watches wwx

jc and wn are arguing loudly in the background but lwj makes NO INDICATION of hearing ANY of it

now we get to watch the emotional confrontation between jc and wn

lwj finally looks back at them when wn starts reciting details that no one outside of jc would have known unless they were there themselves

another flashback as wn describes everything in excruciating detail

oh this line gets me every time

wn: the reason you thought it was repaired was because of my sister, the best doctor in the wen clan of qishan, Wen Qing

WN LOVES HIS SISTER SO MUCH. HE WAS SO PROUD OF HER

AND HE LOST HER. HE DOESN'T HAVE HER ANYMORE

GOD DAMN IT, SHOW, LET THESE BOYS KEEP THEIR SISTERS

and now we go back to lwj, gazing soulfully at wwx and a single tear rolls down his cheek as it really hits him what exactly wwx did, what wwx gave up

wn is going off on jc, like, didn't he ever wonder why wwx never picked up the sword again?

wn looks hardcore here tbh.

we cut back to lwj, who is now holding bichen tightly, and boy, he's got his jaw clenched so hard.

at least until he looks back down at wwx, and his mouth softens as more tears drip down his face

flashback to when jc first found wwx after the burial mounds, and a series of flashbacks of every time jc brought up wwx's lack of suibian and wwx brushing off his questions

THEY SHOULD'VE JUST TALKED IT OUT, MY GOD, THEY COULD’VE SPARED ME ALL THIS PAIN IF THEY JUST TALKED

another flashback to that time that jc pushed wwx and wwx fell hard to the ground and jc thought he was just drunk

I AM DONE WITH THESE FLASHBACKS, THX. CAN WE NOT, ANYMORE? IT'S HURTING TOO MUCH

and we also keep getting shots of lwj's face, STREAKED WITH TEARS

HE'S GOT A TEARDROP ON THE TIP OF HIS NOSE

ALL OF THIS IS PAINFUL

PLEASE STOP

oooh, lwj's mouth twists into a firm scowl and he slams bichen on the ground with a loud CLANG

this is too much for him too! he's furious, he's had enough of hearing how wwx suffered for jc

so he scoops up wwx, carrying almost all of his weight, as he walks the both of them outta there

wn leaves suibian with jc and tells him to have anyone else try to unsheathe it if he doesn't believe him

jc doesn't want it. he doesn't want it at all.

he desperately wants it to be untrue

AND I CRY A RIVER FOR MY YUNMENG BROS

WE'RE ON A BOAT NOW

UNCONSCIOUS WWX SPREAD BACK, HELD LOVINGLY IN LWJ'S ARMS

Now we get some lwj & wn bonding time where they discuss a-yuan! (after lwj promises not to tattle on wn to wwx)

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! WE'RE GETTING A FLASHBACK FROM LWJ

LWJ IS ENTERING WWX'S LAB CAVE THING, ALONE, FRANTICALLY SEARCHING FOR WWX

lwj: on that day, when the wen clan were captured and killed, i went to the burial mounds to seek wei ying but discovered a-yuan instead

we see him find a-yuan, who is unconscious and clammy.

lwj immediately drops to his knees beside him and checks his wrist, then presses the back of his hand to a-yuan's forehead

oh, lwj's hand is all roughened with dirt. That’s very striking, for some reason.

he purses his lips making a split-second decision, and scoops a-yuan up

lwj: he was hiding there for so long that he had a fever and was severely ill

wn figures out that the fever is probs why lsz doesn't remember anything, and hasn’t mentioned wn at all. lwj looks surprised

lwj: didn't you tell him?

wn: about his birth origin? he's happy now. knowing too much about the past and remembering something heavy, would make him less happy than now

HE'S SUCH A GOOD PERSON

WHY DO THE BEST OF THEM HAVE TO SUFFER SO?

lwj: sooner or later, he will know

and wn doesn't deny it. he's like, yeah, sooner or later. just like master wei and jc with the golden core transfer.

at this lwj looks back down at wwx

lwj: is it painful?

the way lwj's throat bobs before he asks tho.

like he's forcing himself to ask, bc he needs to know even if he already suspects the answer.

He needs to know even tho knowing will hurt. he's steeling himself against the pain already.

wn: what?

lwj: taking out the core, is it painful?

wn: you won't believe me if i say it's not, right?

lwj: i thought wq might have some method

he sounds desperate, hoping against all odds that it didn't hurt wwx as much as he suspects it did

and here wn explains that wq wanted to ease the process, make it less painful, but due to the nature of the procedure, she couldn't use any anesthetics

wn: the one who donates the core has to be awake the whole time

THE WHOLE DAMN TIME

HE HAS TO BE CONSCIOUS TO WATCH IT GET CUT OUT OF HIM AND EXPERIENCE THAT CONNECTION SLOWLY BE SEVERED OTHERWISE IT DOESN'T WORK

HOW MESSED UP IS THAT OMG, HOW MUCH TRAUMA MUST THEY PUT MY POOR SUNSHINE BOY THROUGH

lwj: awake?

HE SOUNDS HOARSE AS HE SAYS THAT

wn: two nights and one day. he has to be awake

MY SUNSHINE BOY, MY BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE BOY SUFFERED SO MUCH

lwj's lips purse briefly. he's staring at his wei ying

lwj: at the time, what were the chances

wn: fifty percent

lwj looks at wn here with horrified disbelief

lwj: fifty percent?

wn proceeds to explain how wq didn't want to do it but wwx kept insisting that the odds were worth

AND OH MY GOD LWJ FLASHES BACK TO THEIR FIRST CONFRONTATION AFTER THE BURIAL MOUNDS, WHEN THEY FINALLY FOUND WWX AFTER 3 MONTHS OF SEARCHING

IT HURTS JUST AS MUCH AS THE FIRST TIME AROUND

Wwx must have some sort of sixth sense for knowing when Emotional Discussions are Done, bc he regains consciousness only AFTER wn & lwj finish bonding lol

he sits up, head aching, and pulls himself from lwj's embrace

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY, BC LWJ OBVS DIDN'T MIND HAVING HIM THAT CLOSE

IN FACT even as he helps wwx sit up, you can see his hand trail up wwx's arm, grip loosening and tightening sporadically

He's def trying to prolong contact here, very reluctant to let go of his wei ying

wwx: lan zhan, how did we get out?

lwj: we had a fight

AND ~THEIR SONG~ STARTS PLAYING

wwx: i knew that jiang cheng wouldn't let me go that easily. so unreasonable.

and then he looks at lwj and hurries to assure him that jc didn't mean all those cutting remarks. that that's just how he gets when he's upset.

lwj looks off to the side, pressing his lips closed bc he couldn't care less about jc or jc's words. THEY MEAN NOTHING TO HIM

wwx covers lwj's hand with his own and very earnestly says: so don't take it seriously

BC HE HASN'T YET REALIZED THAT LWJ DOESN'T ACTUALLY GIVE A DAMN ABOUT JC'S ENTIRE EXISTENCE

lwj doesn't look him in the eye as he's told this, and his lips are still pressed together in a firm line.

he probably doesn't actually want wwx to realize just how little jc means to him.

wwx notices they're on a boat on a lake now lol

wwx: i often played here with jyl when we were children

AND HERE HE HALLUCINATES HIS PRECIOUS BEAUTIFUL KIND AMAZING SISTER JYL

Jyl: a-xian come have some lotus seeds

WWX'S EYES REDDEN WITH TEARS AND HE CALLS OUT FOR HIS SISTER

AND I'M FIGHTING BACK SOBS

WHILE JYL'S SWEET GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS AND JYL SMILES WARMLY AT HER LITTLE BROTHER

wn snaps wwx out of it

ONLY FOR WWX TO FLASHBACK TO JYL CRYING AND SAYING THAT THEY'RE THE CLOSEST THREE IN THE WORLD

WWX LEANS HIS HEAD ON HER KNEE AND SULKS ADORABLY ABOUT HOW HE'S HUNGRY

AND I WANNA DIE FROM ALL THE FEELINGS I'M HAVING

back on the boat, wwx eyes are still filled with tears and it's awful

wn is all, wwx what's wrong? and wwx shakes it off and just says he's hungry

so he yanks out some lotus pods from the lake and gives one to lwj and one to wn and one for himself

HE'S SMILING NOW, THANK GOD

wwx: it's perfect timing to be here now!

and he's happily tearing into the pod

I LOVE SEEING HIM HAPPY AND SMILING

SUCH LITTLE JOYS AND HE REVELS IN IT

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

HE SHOULD ALWAYS BE HAPPY AND SMILING.

NOTHING SHOULD EVER BE ALLOWED TO MAKE HIM SAD. NOTHING

lwj: wei ying

wwx: what

lwj: does this lake belong to someone?

LOL, HE GAVE THE POD A SUSPICIOUS LOOK BEFORE ASKING THAT AND HAS NOT TRIED GETTING ANY SEEDS OUT YET

wwx: of course not

HE SAYS IN A COMPLETELY NOT BELIEVABLE WAY

YOU CAN TELL BY HOW HE DOESN'T LOOK LWJ IN THE EYE AS HE RESPONDED AND KEEPS MUNCHING AWAY ON THE SEEDS AS A DISTRACTION

Lwj is watching like, yeah, i’m not buying it.

lwj: i heard that lakes here all have owners.

lolol wwx pauses in his chewing for a second and looks around guiltily for a bit before letting out a nervous laugh

wwx: hanguang jun, you really hear much, don't you? i didn't even know that.

he's looking at him all innocently and LWJ LOOKS BACK STILL NOT BUYING IT LOLOLOL

wwx looks away and then looks back, relenting

wwx: fine.

HE'S ALL POUTY, IT'S ADORABLE, I LOVE HIM

he sulkily tells wn to get them moving

and sulkily tosses his lotus pod at the bottom of the boat

HE'S JUST HAVING A SULK-FEST RN AND IT'S SUPER CUTE, I'M ENJOYING IT A LOT

wn starts to get the paddles to get the boat going, when lwj suddenly leans over the side of the boat and snaps up a lotus pod

he very seriously offers it to his wei ying, who is watching him wide-eyed and surprised

lwj: only for today

bc i just found out about your traumatic golden core transfer for your awful ungrateful little brother and i feel horrible that you suffered alone, he doesn’t say

bc i wish i could have done something to help but i couldn't so now i'm gonna steal you a lotus pod bc that's literally all i can do right now, he also doesn’t say

LOL

THE WAY THE CAMERA CUTS TO WN HERE CRACKS ME UP

WN IS JUST PASSIVELY MUNCHING ON A SEED AND WATCHING THAT EXCHANGE HAPPEN WITH HIS BIG BROWN EYES TAKING IT IN, WITH A VAGUE, "HUH, THAT'S INTERESTING" MANNER

wwx looks at the pod and then back at lwj before taking the pod with a nervous laugh

I am convinced that he had WAR-FLASHBACKS to that time drunk!lwj gave him roosters

He’s probably frantically trying to remember if lwj drank ANY alcohol earlier

TRYING TO CALCULATE THE CHANCES OF SOMEONE SLIPPING SOME ALCOHOL TO LWJ BETWEEN THEIR FIGHT WITH JC TO THIS BOAT ESCAPE LOLOLOLOL

he clutches that pod with both hands and gives lwj a pained smile

The exact pained smile he had when he accepted the roosters that time

LMAO WWX TURNS TO LOOK AT WN, HIS BROWS ALL FURROWED IN CONFUSION LIKE, WN WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING, EXPLAIN WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW

but wn just smiles cheerfully at him

cut to the next moment where we see the boat's floor is now littered with a bunch of lotus pods and wwx is happily munching on seeds, all smiley

BUT OF COURSE I'M NOT ALLOWED TO ENJOY HAPPY PEACEFUL MOMENTS EVER

SO A GLOWY GLITTERY MESSENGER BUTTERFLY APPEARS AND LANDS ON LWJ'S OUTSTRETCHED PALM

I mean, wwx giggled happily there for a moment there!!!!! WHY CAN'T THEY LET ME BASK IN THAT FOR ONE MINUTE, GOD.

anyway, the butterfly

wwx: the paper butterfly messenger from the jin clan?

(side note to say that the butterfly messenger is actually very pretty. i like it a lot)

wwx pats lwj on the knee after the butterfly flies away

wwx: what happened? what did it say?

Lwj’s like, jgy is in yunmeng now and my brother hasn’t responded to my message...

wwx: you worry jgy would harm him when desperate?

bc wwx can tell right away when lwj is worried. BC THEY'RE SOULMATES AND THEY KNOW EACH OTHER SO WELL

And then bc my sunshine boy is a GENIUS, he remembers the deed jgy had hidden away in the secret chamber, for Yunping City in Yunmeng

he excitedly tells lwj that this is where jgy will be

lol he was so excited he tipped himself over a bit and jostled the boat so lwj had to reach out to steady him

we cut to the next scene we see people dying fabrics and our boys wander through

Wwx confirms with some random worker lady that they’re in the right place and tells lwj they should explore the city as a date for Plot Investigation Reasons

lwj nods in agreement and then wwx turns back to look at the lady and gives her THE SWEETEST SMILE, THE ONE THAT SQUINCHES HIS EYES CLOSED AND MAKES ME SWOON

BUT LOL LWJ SEES HIM SMILE AT THE LADY LIKE THAT AND IT NOT AMUSED BY IT AT ALL

oh god, just the way his eyes flick from wwx to the lady and how his lips firm up before he stalks off in a snit cracks me up

GREEN IS NOT YOUR COLOR, LAN ZHAN, I'M JUST SAYING

LET THE GUY SMILE AT ME, I MEAN AT PEOPLE. IT'S NOT A CRIME

wwx is confused by the reaction but hurries off after him

oh wwx, you dense idiot. you're lucky i love you so

now we see come random guys bully wn for no reason 😞

wwx tells them to back off but they don't listen and lwj very nonchalantly pulls out a talisman from his sleeve and offers it to wwx

wwx looks at the talisman and then back at lwj with SUCH A PLEASED SMILE

OMG I WOULD DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING FOR HIM TO SMILE AT ME LIKE THAT

wwx: lan zhan, you even kept it until now?

AHHHHHH SO CUTE, I LOVE HIM

lwj doesn't respond but it doesn’t matter bc wwx does that squinchy-eyed smile AGAIN AND I DIE, I DIE

wwx activates the talisman which releases a whole bunch of glittery butterflies that distract the guys and allow wn to escape.

omg guys, this is the same trick lwj used to distract wen chao and wen zhuliu to escape ages and ages ago WHICH MEANS LWJ HAS BEEN CARRYING A PIECE OF WWX WITH HIM ALL THESE YEARS AHHHHHHHHH

And after that wonderful, touching revelation, the episode ends.

SO, we had lots of depressing Yunmeng Bros Feelings that made me wanna die

BUT we also at the end here get rewarded with MULTIPLE squinchy-eyed smiles from my most precious darling sunshine boy that made me wanna die but, like, in a good way

I WOULD ENDURE SO MUCH MORE FOR THOSE SMILE, NGL

Note

Mikasa Ackermann, Levi Ackermann, Amane Misa, Aeron Greyjoy for the charactet ask :3

SOMEONE HEARD MY PRAYERS AND NOW MY TIME HAS COME, tysm!!!!! <3

okay, let's start with levi (my beloved):

hogwarts house: gryffindor (maybe....?) | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff

ugh, the hp sorting house system is way too reductive. he has qualities of gryffindor, slytherin, and hufflepuff - brave, astute, loyal to a fault, etc. so it's a hard choice. but if i really have to choose, i'd go for gryffindor. i know that his Bad Boy facade shouts slytherin, but while he has larger goals (killing all the titans, then saving the world etc.), he's got no actual ambition for himself. hufflepuff would also be a good option.

daemon (from the his dark materials series): (because i've just decided that's just way more accurate than the hp method) some kind of big feline. maybe a panther - a black panther would be the ideal - aloof, predatory, dangerous, fiercely independent.

best quality: besides his obvious strenghts as a leader and warrior, the way he cares for his comrades-in-arms. it's very hard to gain his trust and respect, but once you have it, it's forever. he's pragmatic and ruthless, yes, but he also has a huge capacity for compassion and friendship. not that he would be effusive about his affections, of course.

worst quality: none, he's absolutely perfect ❤ jklsdfhjk jokes aside, he really struggles to open up (a serious understatement), idt he ever talked about his traumatic past with anyone. i mean, maybe he mentioned it to hange and erwin (erwin knew him when he was still an undergound thug, so...), but... he's not great with feelings. despite his apathetic, intimidating mask, he feels and cares deeply, but he has a long history with losing the people he loves, so he tries to not personally care about his squadmates, which can be both a strenght and a weakness. of course, he spectacularly fails at this.

ship them with: well, it's not a secret that i'm a huge rivamika fan, this ship is almost literally consuming my waking thoughts lmao. imo they're perfectly compatible: very similar personalities (stoic, the strongest warriors, absolutely terrifying on the battlefield but with a soft underbelly), very similar pasts/experiences, so many parallels that it's actually ridiculous, etc. i love how they're both each other's equals and likeness (yes, i took it from jane eyre. no, i don't regret anything lmao). a lot of tropes i love, too: Terrible First Impression (the Pride and Prejudice vibes are so strong with these two, you have no idea), Kindred Spirits/Mirror Images, Veteran/Young Prodigy, The Last of Their Kind, even Height Difference lmao. i could write a whole rivamika manifesto, but this is already too long. (maybe for some other time 👀) i would've loved for their dynamic to be more explored in canon but alas, isayama clearly didn't give a shit about the ackerman legacy, he just used it as a plot shortcut to give them conveniently unique powers, since they never really talked about it 🙄 (and before some troll comes into my askbox shouting "you iNcEsT fReAk!!!!1!!", they're only very distantly related. we know shit about the ackermans but we know for sure that they've got at least several generations between them. biologically their shared DNA is 0%, obviously they don't see each other as family, all the eldians have a dead ass common ancestor from 2000 years ago so they're all basically ⁓related anyway. if you really wanna scream about i.ncest, go watch got/dark/the borgias and shut the fuck up please. or alternatively go outside and touch some grass) sorry for the rant, uh. anyway, i can also see levi/erwin. idk if i'd ever care enough to read a fic about them (i'm usually a huge multishipper, but for some weird reason not when it comes to rivamika? same with braime and kastle tbh), but still, i can see it.

brotp them with: hange and erwin, obv. veteran trio >>> ema trio, sorry not sorry (at least h. and e. died before yams had the chance to ruin their character arcs)

needs to stay away from: ...uh, filth, i guess? lmao

misc. thoughts: besides the stupid teenage fangirl crush i have on him, i'm genuinely fascinated by the man himself. he's a huge mess of a contradictions, and yet somehow it works: he's violent and brash and kind of an asshole, but also has a strong moral code and integrity; he's obv very skilled at all the killing/torturing stuff and yet he has a huge respect for life; he's got a potty mouth to say the least, and yet some very aristocratic manners/tastes (the way he sits, his preference for tea and usually refined clothes); he comes from what's supposed to be an illustrous bloodline, he's methodical and very precise, and yet he was born and raised in the underground, he's been used to filth and blood and poverty since he was a child, kenny of all people was his father figure, and probably has known no other life than a perennial survival mode existence. he's "humanity's strongest soldier", but while well-built he's also small, the david to the titans' goliah, and probably not what people would assume a born warrior looks like. he's also one of the few characters who stayed true to himself and his original characterization until the end, bless you smol king ❤

(okay, this is getting long!)

mikasa:

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff

this is actually easy: mikasa belongs to hufflepuff and no, i won't take criticism (just joking lol). enough with this "hufflepuffs are fluffy puppies/Cinnamon Rolls <3" thing: mikasa values loyalty and duty more than anything else. she's also hardworking... and fierce, strong, lethal. yes, hufflepuff and lethal are not mutually exclusive concepts.

daemon: (finally the better option) a she-wolf, fiercely protective of her pack.

best quality: loyal, brave, incredibly strong (alongside her more fragile qualities). practical and level-headed on the battlefield, at least when eren is not included in the picture.

worst quality: struggles to let go of the past (understandable, considering her trauma). tunnel-vision when it comes to eren, obv. extreme levels of delusions ("if only i spoke openly about my romantic feelings for him - as if i didn't made them abundantly clear in ⁓6 years - he wouldn't kill 80% of humanity :(((" lmao okay. just. okay), but that's more on the writing. she's sadly more static than any other main character throughtout the whole series.

ship them with: see above :) but recently i've also started to be intrigued by mikasa/annie and mikasa/sasha. also, i'm sympathetic to jeankasa fans, though i don't actually care for the ship.

brotp them with: EMA trio, especially armin+mikasa. their friendship is so beautiful and special. also sasha.

needs to stay away from: ...... eren, at least romantically. again, that's more on the writing than anything else, but e.remika unfortunately encompasses many tropes i loathe with all the strength of my old shriveled heart: childhood friends-to lovers where the (male) childhood friend doesn't acknolewdge/is completely indifferent to the other (female) friend's romantic feelings, she hopelessly pines for him for years without anything more than a cold shoulder... until in the last chapter it's revealed that he loved her all along and doesn't "want other men to have her!!! :((" (then why did you have no reaction whatsoever to jean's years-long crush on her while she was jealous of any vaguely female-shaped human being you were friendly to, including hange? are you that dumb, man?); the female character's development and entire arc 100% revolves around the male protagonist - she has no goals, no dreams of her own except staying with him forever and ever; the romance is based on an idealized childhood dream, therefore reaffirming those childish illusions would make the character regress, not actually grow up (and nope, epilogue!jk doesn’t count; that also lacks build-up - i would’ve said the same about rm as well, so it’s not about shipping, guys, it really isn’t - and mikasa needed an inner change; getting married to another man but still praying to eren’s shrine is not substitute to actual development lol). post-time skip she's never really frustrated/angry with him, they never get a confrontation about him becoming a, y'know, mass-murderer of gigantic (pun intended) proportions; she puts him on a pedestal, and never stops idealizing him/never sees him for what he actually is (the narrative framing him as some kind of tragic martyr/saint eren from paradis with zero agency and basically... no clear motivation for the abovementioned mass murder, and not the actual complex tragic anti-hero/villain motivated by revenge and righteous fury he deserved to be, does not help). it lacks a good or even decent build-up - it's basically all tell and not show. now, if they'd actually been childhood friends to enemies to lovers/mutually co-dependent... it could have been interesting. sadly, it's not my cup of tea. of course this is just my personal preference, no hard feelings to the shippers.

misc. thoughts: enormous potential. she's been my fav female character since s1 - and ah, i miss s1!mikasa, when she had actually other stuff to do besides mothering eren. i love that she's the strongest warrior (second only to levi, obv), that her skills are never called into questions despite her gender, i love how she stands up for herself and the people she loves, that she may seem cold and stoic and yet has a such a huge heart, that she's not perfect but also sometimes awe-inspiring. sadly, she never really gets out of eren's shadow; what she lacks is an arc focused on herself. that's why imo getting deeper into the ackerman lore would've helped (also, you cannot make the main female character and the most popular male character descend from the same Unique Bloodline or whatever, and never really make them acknowledge it out loud; as a writer, you just can't lol). my spite is so strong that i'm currently writing a ridiculously pretentious fic that's 70% development for her character, to give her a voice, and 30% ackerthirsting. (yes, that's the fic i'm always vagueblogging about lmao, rip @ my brain). if any other rivamika fan is interested… mind you, it’s in italian tho, and idt i have the skills to translate into english.

misa:

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff

daemon: mmh, maybe some kind of butterfly? beautiful, colorful, and short-lived.

best quality: glorious fashion sense, more inventive and ingenious than fans actually give her credit for.

worst quality: shallow, impulsive, and obv her dependence on/obsession with light (which stems from trauma btw, but still… the very opposite of a relationship between equals).

ship them with: rem, kinda (monster/human ftw!). also weirdly enough mogi, a little bit? she deserves someone who actually respects her… though she’s far from being a perfect angel. she may actually be crazier than light on some aspects. but in this house we stan evil ladies anyway, so i have no problem with that <3

brotp them with: uh, idk, maybe matsuda?

needs to stay away from: obv light. also takada.

misc. thoughts: a tragic victim of sexist writing. she may be… unhinged to say the least, but she didn’t deserve the abuse she got from light (and from the fans). the female characters’ writing in dn is so bad that idk if it’s on purpose, to kinda mirror the reality of women in a patriarchal society (dependent on men, housewives whose life entirely revolves around their husband/boyfriend etc.), or just casual misogyny lol. it’s even more baffling since we don’t know the author’s gender (they may be a man, a woman, nb, anything really). i tend for the latter option tho.

aegon greyjoy (now, i wasn’t expecting him lol):

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff

i’m so sorry, i haven’t the slightest idea lmao. maybe gryffindor? mind you, it’s been a long time since i’ve re-read the books, so i don’t have many thoughts about him.

daemon: maybe it’s cliché, but some kind of fish/squid lmao

best quality: ugh, i really can’t remember much from his chapters :(( he’s not a coward, i guess? (lame answer, sorry!)

worst quality: definitely his religious fanaticism.

ship them with: no one.

brotp them with: uh… his family, ig? except euron.

needs to stay away from: obv euron. brr ://

misc. thoughts: i genuinely like the greyjoys chapters, though i vastly prefer the martells (with the exception of theon and asha, bcs i love them). yes, they’re deranged. yes, victarion is… well, victarion lol. but the drowned god religion is actually interesting, grrm knows how to write trauma - every time aeron mentions euron and that freaking door i’m like… :// - and the tragedy of it all… just great writing all around.

okay, that’s the end lmao. thank you so much, love!!! ❤❤

Updated Three Houses Top 10 Females List:

Just in time for International Women’s Day! I’ve been working on revising my list as much as possible in light of revisiting Three Houses, playing Ashen Wolves, and rethinking my love for each female character I put on my last list. I will this time do the my list from Tenth place to First place. Just a heads up my # 1 one spot has not changed so don’t expect some crazy surprise there.

Disclaimer: please don’t flame me or comment about how “WRONG” I am it’s just my personal opinion or preference. BE NICE! and maybe reblog or comment your favorite list if you’d like?

#10: Shamir:

My opinion Shamir literally has not changed. She is just a cool character, I love how despite her debt to Rhea she isn’t kissing Rhea’s ass like Catherine or Ciril. Did I mention I really don’t like them lol? She’s badass and she has an excellent character design. Perfect blend of sexy and badass.

#9. Bernadetta:

Bernie dropped another spot going from 8th to 9th. I still have an abundance of love for Bernie, and I want to protect her at all cost. I still hold the opinion that while she’s an absolutely hilarious character, she can still get repetitive and stale pretty fast upon replays. That being said when I was thinking of characters that might potentially drop to below my top ten I couldn’t reasonably see myself dropping her out of my top 10, as Bernie is still a genuinely enjoyable character, and I do have a soft spot for her.

#8. Sothis:

Unfortunately Sothis dropped down a bit no fault of her own, simply because I enjoy the ladies above her more. That being said I really do enjoy Sothis. Even though our time is brief with her, I really do love the snarky little goddess. It’s funny, last time I made this list I had gotten her Christmas altand expressed my excitement, but I didn’t have her Mythic version(aka original version). I just recently I finally got lucky, and pulled her Mythic version!

#7 Dorothea:

AHHH THE PITCH FORKS!! I’M SO SORRY!! I know! I know! WTF?! I honestly any think of a perfectly justifiable reason as to why Dorothea has dropped so low on my list. She went from 4th place to 7th place for those that don’t remember. I honestly feel disgusting for putting her so low....I absolutely adore her character, her design is absolutely stunning, and I still enjoy most of her supports, but honestly I can’t justify putting her any higher than the women above her on this list. Like many who have dropped lower in placement it’s of no fault of her own. I just happened to realize I love the women above her more. I still believe deserves all the happiness, love and care that she desires!

#6. Hapi:

Hapi is such a fucking gem, I don’t know if it’s just the dub but Hapi’s dialogue is just so ahead of its time period and I love it so much lol. She has some of the funniest quotes and her habit for nicknaming everyone is hilarious. I’m aware that it’s not a trait unique to her, but I’m of the opinion that her nicknames far surpasses Dorothea’s nicknames. Now if we we’re talking strictly design Hapi would place 4th out of entire female cast for me, and that’s impressive feat since Three Houses has an abundance of amazing designs. In fact if I was strictly talking design a lot of the placements on this list would actually change. For example Hapi would actually rank above Constance for me in terms of design, but is trumped by Constance in terms of character. I might do a separate list for “best” designs in the near future.

#5. Rhea:

I KNOW ITS BLASPHEMY I STILL have both Edelgard and Rhea in my top 5?!! As those who saw my last list can see Rhea’s placement has not changed. I love Rhea so much is because she’s the perfect foil to Edelgard. Rhea is an excellenty written character with a lot of emotional depth. She acts as a perfect foil for Edelgard’s character they are so similar yet so different. It also makes sense that she and Edelgard’s ideals would come to clash. I’m of the opinion that if Edelgard and Rhea just talked about their views it still would still not end well. Rhea sage guarded her fabricated history of Fódlan for a thousand years and would not just tell the truth because Edelgard called her out. She would’ve branded Edelgard a heretic and have her executed. That type of tranquil furry is honestly unsettling and I LOVE it. Btw the only reason she tells the truth in CS and VW is because in CS she doesn’t think she has much time left, and in VW she doesn’t have much time left and chaos is marching on Fódlan’s door. Likewise Edelgard would sympathize with Rhea’s past if she told the truth, but would insist that Rhea step down from power or tell the truth to the world which would still lead to conflict. I personally agree with Edelgard vision for Fodlan more, and personally think Rhea is unstable, and worst SOLE leader for Fodlan, but neither are evil people and I can empathize with their motives and reasons for doing the morally grey things they do. Neither of them “do nothing wrong” like people claim and in fact do a LOT wrong. It’s those wrong things they do that makes them intriguing characters, and more relatable. They also both have the potential to do so many good things for Fódlan depending on the route.

#4. Constance:

GOOD LORD Costance is truly a one of a kind. I was pro Constance since her design was first revealed in the Cindered Shadows DLC trailer. That being said never did I envision loving her THIS much! Her motivations are easily understandable, and her fall from grace makes even more sad when you realize that haughty attitude that she almost always has on display is due to her compensating for her lack of status. Constance is one of the funniest characters in the game to me and she came out AFTER the game lol. She’s an incredibly intelligent prodigy when it comes to all things magic yet she has this naivety that people are able to exploit like Yuri with the “bootlicking nobles” phrase. She takes it so literal that she tries it out for her self, and tries to make a way for the boots to taste better making it easier to lick their boots......I CANT EVEN!!... honestly Constance could top this list if it weren’t for her split personality..... don’t get me wrong her split personality when in sunlight can be funny every now and then, but honestly it does more harm to her character then helps it in my opinion. Her change in personality when in sunlight is implied that to be because of the trauma of the fall of House Nuevelle, but we never get any real explanation for it or anything implying she can overcome it. Its not expanded upon, and never treated seriously. In fact it’s played for laughs and it’s something people just accept as Constance just being Constance. I honestly felt Constance C rank support with Ferdinand was done so well. She calls him out for his usually insensitive comments about status and makes him regret his words immediately. I had so much respect for her in that moment, come the b-rank support she acts all submissive and praises the ground he walks on....which ruined the c-rank support for me tbh. That being said, as you can see based off her placement this trait of hers doesn’t ruin the character for me, just keeps her from being higher.

#3. Petra:

On a much lighter note, Petra is my 3rd favorite! If you notice she has dropped down from my second favorite spot. This is due to no fault of her own I, just happened to realize that I loved my number 2 spot more. With that being said Petra has still gotten the victory! Like I mentioned in my first list, Petra is just a delight. I love how she’s so dedicated, and always willing to learn. Funnily enough my initial expectation for Petra’s character pre-release was vastly different then what her actual character ended up being. She’s one of those character’s who’s design got revealed MUCH earlier than any details about her personality and her design gave me the impression that she was the aloof, intimidating, and serious type that doesn’t have time for making friends or fun. I don’t know if anyone else got this impression, but obviously I was wrong! Petra truly does remind me a lot of Starfire from the original 2003 Teen Titans tv show and kinda re-awakens that childhood cartoon crush in me lol. Petra is just awesome there’s not a single support I don’t like of her.

#2. Marianne

Now if you saw my old list you probably noticed that Marianne moved up a bit. Naturally I still love her design(I’m a sucker for light blue hair I think lol), but upon revisiting Three Houses I realized that leaving Marianne at 3rd place somehow didn’t feel adequate. Funnily enough she was technically the first person I S-ranked in Three Houses due to locking myself out of the Crimson Flower Route on accident. Honestly she has become my favorite character to S-rank in Three Houses even more so than my number one spot! Anyway my love for Marianne is very different for most character’s as she is one I feel can really relate to on very personal and emotional level. I’m gonna get real for a minute. I honestly I had been in bad place in my life recently. I had been feeling like the world has been crashing down on me. I have plenty of things to be happy for yet I often felt depressed. I’d often had “friends” call me out, saying I have no reason to be depressed, or that I have been blessed with so many things, and while I agree I’m very blessed, they couldn’t understand how I felt, as all they could provide was the view of an outsider looking in. While the action of suicide was something I never considered, I’d had been contemplating the value of my life or if it was really worth living. First want to clarify that I’m in MUCH better headspace than I was then. I definitely feel like I’m getting better. I have my ups and downs, but I’m currently making better friendships, I’m actively getting the help I need! I’ve always sympathized with Marianne, but now I can say that I really empathize with Marianne. When we take things at face value she seemingly had everything going for her, being brought up into the nobility, trained for success, and even having an extremely rare crest. By all means to an outsider looking in she had every reason to be happy. Of course while all these things sound nice especially in the context of the story they are in actuality a source for her depression. In her C-rank support with Ferdinand we see his confusion as to why Marianne dislikes being a part of the nobility. This support is one of the few times she expresses real anger, and is when expresses she never got to have what she saw as a normal life, she never wanted to be a part of the nobility and the weight and the expectations of being nobility was crushing her, as she had to adhere to standards of those around her. She was also taught to fear her crest as curse, so the blessing many commoners would be estatic to receive was thing she deemed as a curse. Over the course of the story and through her supports, Marianne begins to learn how to be more accepting of herself and gain more self-confidence. Naturally her timeskip appearance reflects this. She looks well-rested, expressive, and she genuinely seems more happy. I will never forget In her A-support with Byleth, that over the course of 5 years she had abandoned her depression and suicidal thoughts thanks to the genuine and long lasting friendship‘s she’s made and that she managed to uncover the truth of her heritage, and overcome the fear and hatred of her Crest. Her character arc is a very powerful thing to me, and is also example of what makes the 5 year timeskip so great. In addition to her character arc Marianne is just so cute, don’t get me stated on how adorable her habit of talking to animals is! Marianne is a fucking fantastic character and I love her so much.

EDIT: So I wanted to clarify that if I’m being honest Marianne and #1 spot are technically both tied as #1 me, and are so for very different reasons. For the sake of creating a Top 10 and to avoid a cop out list I chose to put her at second. To me Marianne is “BEST GIRL”. She’s my favorite female character to marry, she’s most endearing to me, she has like my third favorite female character design in all of Fire Emblem, and I relate to her on an emotional level. That being said this next character is “BEST CHARACTER” I like more for her role in the story, how her character is written, and how she was designed. Despite this I do not marry her NEARLY as often as Marianne. While I ship her with F! Byleth(OTP!) she’s not someone I personally would persue romantically. In other words Marianne is more my type and I tend to be biased with her while this next character is female character that I feel is the BEST WRITTEN and the female character I respect the most out of the cast.

#1. Edelgard:

Upon revisiting Fire Emblem Three Houses story as well as playing the Cindered Shadows DLC, nothing has changed, in fact my love and resolve for Edelgard has only been strengthened. I made a huge in depth posts for Edelgard a while back explaining her past, motives, and reasons for what she does. The posts had spanned multiple reblogs of details and clarification and I went over the typing limit in every single one. I won’t divulge further into all that. Like I mentioned last time I created my top ten list, aside from her being IN MY OPINION one of the best written female protagonists in Fire Emblem history, I absolutely love her design, its probably one of my favorite designs in all of Fire Emblem. That being said, If I had to say while she’s definitely close, she doesn’t have my all time number one favorite design, that spot goes to Azura from Fire Emblem Fates. Edelgard will always be my favorite Three Houses female character no matter what and I’m so happy she was brought into existence!

Well that’s my revised list, I had a lot of fun writing this list and I hope it was enjoyable for you guys to read as well! I would really love it if you guys comment or reblog with your own list of favorite Three House females! Y’know what?! Comment or reblog with your list of favorite females in the entire Fire Emblem franchise if you’d like! I’m very interested in seeing your lists Happy International Women’s Day!

#fire emblem #fire emblem three houses #fire emblem three houses cindered shadows #international women's day #edelgard fire emblem #fire emblem marianne #petra fire emblem #fire emblem constance #fire emblem rhea #fire emblem hapi #fire emblem dorothea #fire emblem women

( matteo martari, cismale, he/him, 33) ** ♔ announcing EDWARD WINDSOR, the KING OF ENGLAND ! in a recent portrait they seem to resemble MATTEO MARTARI. it is a miracle that HE survived the last five years, considering they are DECISIVE, STRONG-WILLED, and STRESSED. i hope the plague has not changed them. they are AGAINST working together with the other kingdoms. (hay, she/her, 21, pst)

look i TRIED not to apply for him but i HAD to. i’m hay !! this is my son, edward. he’s...a mess. i think he’s a ball of angst and anger and guilt. i’d love any and all plots for him.

full name: edward windsor.

official title: edward ii, king of england.

age: thirty-three

gender: cis man.

pronouns: he/him.

birthday: april 2nd, 1614

orientation: heterosexual.

allegiance: to england. period. all he cares about.

alignment: lawful neutral.

england rejoiced the day that edward was born. finally, a son that was destined to rule. he was a beautiful child with long lashes and high cheekbones. almost immediately he was popular amongst his peers. he excelled in all things history, war, religion, literature, and language.

he always knew that he was destined to rule. he took his responsibilities seriously and acted as if he were in charge before his coronation. a natural born leader, he was popular in court with everyone. he was the kind of guy that people flocked around, hoping to get a chance to know him.

when he took the throne, he was determined to make england the best country in the world. he truly believes that his people are special. he would do anything for his people.

edward married charlotte early in his reign. they were friendly to begin with and now he truly cares for her. he’s not the type of king to have a wondering eye. charlotte sees him at his lowest points and he loves her dearly.

however, when the summer of 1642 happened, edward changed. suddenly, he was thrust into trying to save his people but no matter what he did, people died. he is a respected ruler but hell’s fury seemed to focus on england. his own family suffered and he lost two of his beloved sisters.

oh man, all this man feels is guilt. it’s not his fault but he feels every soul that perished. this man rarely smiles. he can seem intimidating and daunting but it’s because he’s carrying so much on his shoulders. he always knew that ruling would be difficult but not like this.

there are so many times where he just sits in silence. tbh i think he’s traumatized sksksks. he has a the power of a god but he couldn’t help his own family. he’s prone to anxiety attacks and nightmares. he always looks like he hasn’t slept and that’s bc he hasn’t.

he’s now more determined than ever to raise england back up. he views scotland with a vary weary eye. first it was an insult that the king of scotland chose a mistress over his sister, eleanor. second, they refused to send aid to englad. he’s furious.

as with his other siblings, he’s always been focused on ruling. ever since he’s lost his two sisters, he’s more protective over them now than he wasa before.

this was a jumbled mess but feel free to like this and plot !!!!

Did another one lads. Constructive criticism for So That’s How It Is under the cut.

So we start where we left off in the last episode, and I already have an issue with the lines. This could just be the characters being absolute idiots (a consistent theme for the last volumes), but when Ozpin asked Jinn his question, the specific words were “how do I destroy Salem?” Yang opens the new episode with “Salem can’t be killed”. And, you know, given Yang has been established as dense before I totally understand her giving this line. But literally no one corrects her on it. All of them straight up assume they can’t stop Salem simply because she can’t be ‘killed’ (destroyed, but who cares).

Ruby seems to be onto something when she asks how Ozpin is planning to defeat Salem, but none of the characters – not even Ruby herself – point out that there’s still a chance they can win. Everyone is just depressed about this truth bomb for the next couple of episodes. Now, I understand that taking all of this in is going to take a while, and after everything that has happened it’s more likely they see dread in everything. Except they already heard the solution! They were all there when the gods explained to Salem that until she learns the value of life, she will remain to live herself.

‘But how are they going to do that with a being as pure evil as Salem?’ I don’t know! That’s what I’d love to find out! Too bad the writers don’t take this opportunity!

Maria Calavera would have been the perfect character to point this out. She hasn’t been through the same shit QRWBY has, and she definitely fills up the ‘wise old mentor’ role (she reminds me of Toph Beifong, and I don’t know how to feel about that tbh). She takes no shit! All of this depressed crap is shit!

I just really can’t believe none of them are smart enough to pick up on this. I also can’t believe Ozma hasn’t come up with any solution in his many lives but I guess that’s just part of the story. There has to be a reason we started with RWBY (even though they have 0 reason for being there, other than sheer (bad) luck).

Before I talk about the punch in context I would like to say: can they please stop framing smacks and punches as if it’s comedic? Especially heavy loaded punches like these. The speed lines and background are one thing, but the pause on Oscar’s weird face when Qrow hits him DEFINITELY comes across as comical.

I’ve already seen a lot of people talk about the punch in general so I’m not going to go too in-depth on how morally right or wrong it is. All I’m going to say is that everyone has made mistakes up until now, so pointing fingers is just… Useless honestly.

I actually like Qrow punching Ozpin in Oscar’s body, because it creates conflict and you need conflict to drive your story. A story without conflict is just boring. The punch had so much potential! Unfortunately it is framed in a way that makes it seem like the narrative thinks Ozpin deserves it, and it’s never brought up again. That leaves a lot of room for a multitude of missed opportunities. First, we don’t see anyone react to the punch at all. The audience is just left to guess what the characters feel and think – especially team RWBY. At least one of the others should’ve pointed out that it was a rash and bad decision to punch Ozpin like that because of Oscar. They’re all hunters, they should have their morals in check. Even if they all feel whack because of an exposition dump.

Two: there’s friction between Ozpin and Qrow – automatically causing friction between Oscar and Qrow too. Yet, whenever these two are onscreen, it’s as if nothing has happened. Why? What’s the point of Qrow remarking they’re better than liars, if not to cause friction between the two? To show us how upset he is? We already know Qrow is upset because of the punch, and he takes a swig of his alcohol. We don’t need another reminder.

Three: It’s not very good to clearly lean towards one way with the narrative. Anime and cartoons always have a good & bad tropey kinda way of telling their story, but at least both sides get explored (even if it’s just a little). This is probably why the main hero is almost always portrayed as empathic; so the other party gets to tell their story as well. Framing Qrow’s punch as ‘Ozpin deserved it’ is bad, because it automatically makes the viewer think that punching someone you don’t agree with is okay, as long as they did something bad to you. It’s also a way of telling the viewer how to feel, and in writing that’s just… Bad. Let the consumer come to their own conclusions.

‘Meeting you was the worst luck of my life.’ One of the very few lines that actually not just show but also make you feel. You just feel the weight behind this one, and you either feel for Qrow or Ozpin or both. Might be an unpopular opinion, but I fucking love this line.

The next moment we see Oscar flinching in pain and I have to wonder, what is up with that? Shouldn’t aura protect him? He has unlocked his aura, right? Or does aura not extend to pain? If it doesn’t, then how do you explain Yang getting punched through a concrete wall and being able to walk as if it’s nothing? No, the rule of cool does not apply to this. It’s just another one of those small things that make the viewer/reader go ‘I’m not buying it’.

I’ve seen so many people compliment Barbara on her ‘bastard’ line, and I can hear why. There’s raw emotion in there. It’s just… It seems a little off? She’s been standing there the whole time, completely silent, and all of a sudden she’s yelling passionately? I think we’re missing a few frames here. We should’ve seen Yang look at Oscar, then shocked to hear what he says about Ozpin while she clenches her fists and THEN she can deliver this line. I think that would’ve helped convey this way better.

‘Every one of you is spewing negativity.’ Like that matters? Didn’t you hear them Maria? The relic attracts Grimm. Except they conveniently don’t encounter any Grimm from here on out. That’s bad writing and here is why: Miles & Kerry don’t care about the rules they set for their world. They just want to get from point A to B as fast as possible. But that’s not how writing works, because your story and characters won’t follow it organically! It’s just forced storytelling. Give your story and characters room to explore. Maybe you’ll get something that surprises even you. That’s the whole point of writing: explore and have fun.

Okay. I have to ask. Who’s steering the ship?

Maybe it’s my personal taste but I don’t like the line ‘Because you have failed our queen’. It would have felt more natural if he had left ‘because’ out of there. Now it feels more like an explanation, instead of a creepy moment. Completely takes me out of it. But I have to admit I can’t take Tyrian serious because they just… Yeah. This scene was pretty okay though. I finally had a grasp of his character for once.

I don’t even know where to begin with this scene. We open with Salem all calm and collected, giving me the impression that I should feel intimidated. Not even a full minute later she flings the table almost completely into the one subject who actually follows her out of loyalty. This is what I need to be intimidated by? I’m sorry, I can’t take a leader serious if they only think about their own interests. Why would her subjects follow her if she doesn’t treat them like friends or family? This whole ‘powerhungry evil guy’ trope is a hoax and I can’t believe for a single second that these guys actually help her. Why would they? Out of the goodness in their hearts? Besides Hazel, who has real motivation to stop Ozpin and kill everyone? Hazel doesn’t even want to kill anyone. He’s just in it for his revenge. The minute he has it, he can bolt the fuck out of there. Up your manipulation game Salem. I’m not buying it one bit.

This scene is so bad. I don’t even know why Salem keeps asking whose fault it was. It’s clear she already knows the answer, apparently it’s all Cinder’s fault. I don’t even get why it’s all Cinder’s fault but whatever I guess.

What is the POINT of this scene? We don’t learn anything new. Salem’s just stupid. Why follow this psycho? I really don’t understand.

Wait, how does Hazel know they’re taking the lamp to Atlas? Wasn’t he already gone by the time the good guys decided on this plan?

You know, the scene where she loses it would have been SO good if she hadn’t been shown like a temper tantrum throwing child earlier. This could have been the one thing that sets her on edge, her flaw in an otherwise very calm and mysterious outlook. But now it’s just… another one of those.

moodboards and brief summaries for my zodiac characters under the cut!

aquarius - both a source and victim of chaos. Aquarius is fickle, chill, artsy, and probably knows more than she lets on. She is decidedly not interested in the conflict happening on earth. She’d rather have fun with her time there as much as possible. Que sera sera. And everyone bugging her about it can fuck off. She’s too busy falling in love and telling fortunes.

aries - 100% Done With Your Shit. Incredibly attractive lawful good. Stupidly powerful warrior. Who needs star magic when you have swords? She’s enamored with earth but only on her own terms. She’d actually rather that humans didn’t have any powers at all, but knows it isn’t her place to change things. Will get drunk and fight you, so you know, keep your distance. lesbean. hangs out with the main group briefly but also, she’s got people to kill.

cancer - personification of ugh. Everything was kind of boring until the mages started dragging them down to earth, and earth is alright, so she’s kind of on the “bring down the moon” side. Aries drives her fucking mental so half the reason she chose that side was just to spite the ram. Sleepy. Night owl. Ace af. Everyone go away, except Leo.

capricorn - unstoppable pansexual chimera. Shapeshifting prankster. You either love or hate her. She loves herself too much to really care either way. The mages are lame, so she’s fighting against them. Freedom is priority #1.

gemini - what is he? seriously? When he’s not busy running around earth inspiring folklore and scary bedtime stories as two pitch-black wolves, he’s actually quite the romantic. token straight, but too busy for love. what the fuck is he tho? likes to disappear into a mess of rose petals. flies around sometimes. no one really knows until he drinks and opens up. and even then, is any of it true? true neutral.

leo - Fuck you, she does what she wants. Cancer is BFF so everyone else is uninteresting/not worth her time. Except Taurus. Maybe she loves Taurus, but it’s none of your fucking business. Not really sure what to think of the whole “dragged to earth against her will” thing but earth is cool and the stars are boring so whatever. Also hates Aries, would rather see her eat shit than fight alongside her. People say she means well, but... does she?

libra - the “leader” of the group. Nonbinary. Humans are weird but they love Libra so like, sure, they’ll run the capital city. Basically has total control over Aveline. People bending over to do what they say. Treated like a god. Trying to keep shit together so that the mages can be taken down. Too patient. Unbiased to a fault. It drives people crazy.

Pisces - emotional boi. Could stare at the ocean forever. Was the first one to fall in love with a human. Kinda fucked stuff up though. Neutral good and gay as fucc. comes across super intense and intimidating - is super intense and intimidating. he’s Smol but scary. oh and controls the fucking ocean -

sagittarius - everyone loves him and if they don’t, they’re wrong. lover boy. bisexual. poly. There’s too many feels to go around. Chaotic good and a little chaotic in general. Camping aesthetic. He tells June and Theo he’ll protect them (as he’s running from bounty hunters) and hangs out with them for most of the series. Firepower, literally. Marksman. Too lucky for his own good.

scorpio - unsung hero. The sort of face and voice you remember as long as you live. Partners with Sagittarius for a long time, even though he drives her insane. She likes to write, and enjoys earth thoroughly. Would sacrifice everything for humans that don’t even know who she is. Too wholesome.

taurus - everything is a mess!! She loves Leo. LOVES Leo. And Leo loves her. So why aren’t they together? Wow good fucking question. She’s got too much of a moral compass to not be on the ‘good’ side. Heartbroken but getting over it. There’s more important things at stake. And she’s probably the toughest of the bunch.

virgo - A little evil. Like you should probably just stay far, far away tbh. She’s a mastermind, musical, mysterious, beautiful, etc. Humans write poetry about her. She has a lot of influence on earth, so she’d rather stay. The inspiration for a lot of mythology regarding beautiful women who lead people off cliffs/into frozen wastelands/etc. you know, good stuff like that. aromantic.

5, 6, 13, 15 & 31 for now? owo

REALLY LONG BC I LIKE THESE QUESTIONS SO IM ANSWERING THEM FOR ALL FIVE INQUISITORS

5 i already answered

6. Who did they romance and why?

cirhys romanced sera bc sera swooped in and stole her heart like so many breeches. she is so funny and she keeps cirhys from taking everything too seriously. she thinks sera is noble, and deserves more respect than she gets for all the work she does with the jennies and with the inquisition.

mellona romanced iron bull and also blackwall. she respects iron bull bc he is a good leader and they work together. bc he shows that he can be trusted. blackwall she really is only attracted to after she sees his dynamic with iron bull. they are like the three musketeers ?? she sees him as a good guy who is motivated by what is right. and she thinks he is very upfront with her (lmao) and she values that.

rivaas romanced dorian bc hes So Fucking Charming. he’s witty and funny and always has a quip about everything and rivaas fucking loves it. they have really good Banter. rivaas really falls in love when he starts to see the softer more emotional side of dorian.

ev romanced josephine bc she’s so pretty. she’s pretty and smart and so good at The Game and diplomacy in general and she works so hard all the time and the way her hair falls around her face ?? ev first flirted with her bc she was pretty and after getting to know her better, she could literally spend all day talking about things she likes about josephine.

romelos romanced solas because i wanted her to suffer he is smart and soft spoken mostly and she actually swooned the first time he did the rhyming thing. because he was there from the beginning and he saved her life. because she values his perspective and knowledge. because they talk for hours about magic and the fade. because he helps her make sense of things.

13. What did they thing of Solas?

cirhys is indifferent ?? she is grateful for his advice and knowledge, and of course, for the fact that he saved her life after the conclave. but personally she doesn’t care much about him ?? trespasser is an awful surprise and it hurts but only bc she thinks its her fault for not realizing who he is and what he wanted to do.

mellona does Not like him. she thinks he is full of himself and talks too much. she likes people who are straightforward and he always takes so fucking long to say anything and she’s so tired of talking to him. (my first mellona playthru is the only playthru where i got the chance to punch him)

rivaas likes him. he actually specializes in fade magic bc of solas. he sees him as a friend and mentor. likes the meandering conversations with him. not best friends but enough for him to take it personally when he finds out the truth in trespasser

ev considers him one of her closer friends. he reminds her of rivaas except older and not as ?? friendly ???? she likes his companionship bc he is pretty much always available to talk. takes his betrayal Super Personally and is really angry and hurt about it for a long time. she tells herself that she will stop him by any means necessary but i dont know if she actually would.

romelos is in love with him. tragically. after the bit with the vallaslin she kind of has to hate him for a while to get over her hurt and not let it consume her or distract her (and she hates that bc thats what solas told her - to harden her heart to a cutting edge and use the pain) trespasser fucking hurts because she thought she was super over him and moved on with her life but she starts putting together the pieces and by the time solas shows up she Knows and she’s starting to understand why he left her like that but she has so many questions and feels so guilty because she should have been able to change his mind and also why wasn’t she good enough to change his mind. she also wants to think that she will stop him by any means necessary but she wants to try to save him. she doesn’t want to kill him unless she has to.

15. Our of the followers/companions, who are they most comfortable around?

other than romances ??

cirhys’ best friend is iron bull and she adores cole. other than sera, they’re the ones she spends the most time with and feels most herself around.

for mellona its iron bull blackwall and vivienne. maybe with a side of dorian. she isn’t really ‘comfortable’ around anyone else? she keeps everyone at a distance and these are really the only people she gets close to in any meaningful way.

for rivaas its cassandra. solas a little but he feels like he can’t quite relax around solas ? he feels like he needs to sit up straight and make eye contact when they’re talking and shit. but he loves hanging around cassandra (especially when its him and cassandra and dorian omg they’re all bffs its great)

ev is most comfortable around sera and blackwall. sera especially. blackwall is a little intimidating to hang out with at first just bc he practically kisses the ground u walk on and she doesn’t want that all the time but with sera he can let himself let loose and ev can leave all the inquisitor stuff behind.

romelos is most comfortable around iron bull. she is practically a charger t b h. (hey if sera can make you a red jenny then iron bull should make you a charger ??) she feels more accepted with them than with anyone else. she doesn’t worry about disappointing them or not working hard enough or whatever.

31. Did they let Solas kill the mages?

so only ev and romelos got close enough for him to even come to them with that problem ??

ev lets him kill them bc she thinks they deserve it tbh.

romelos stops him because she doesn’t want to be accomplice to a murder. and she thinks they’ve been scared enough to learn their lesson and not do that shit again.

5, 20, 26 for Bambi / 7, 21, 31, 33 for Harper / 4, 9, 11, 15 for Rhyder / 10, 17, 25, 36 for Graham / 30, 34, 41 for Ygritte!

so many questionssss thank you!! all answered under the cut bc it’s long as heck

Bambi

5. On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?

If she’s carrying a purse or backpack, she keeps everything in that. If not, she’ll have her wallet, keys, phone, lip balm (or lipstick), and individually wrapped peppermints in her pockets.

20. In what ways does your character compare themselves to others? Do they do this for the sake of self-validation, or self-criticism?

Bambi compares herself to others all the time and it usually has to do with self-criticism. Part of it comes from her parents, who encouraged her and her siblings to do better by comparing their accomplishments to the accomplishments of their other siblings or friends. When she compares herself to others, it’s usually not about her appearance; it’s about her abilities and accomplishments.

26. How does your character behave around children?

Bambi really likes children and she has a lot of empathy for them. She treats them like mini adults in that she doesn’t dumb down her speech for them. She’ll also give all her attention to their interests and she’ll ask questions, even if she doesn’t actually care much about what they’re interested in.

Harper

7. Does your character have recurring themes in their nightmares?

Harper doesn’t have many nightmares and when she does, they’re usually related to being a demigod. Any nightmares that aren’t demigod related have to do with losing JJ or JJ getting hurt.

21. If something tragic or negative happens to your character, do they believe they may have caused or deserved it, or are they quick to blame others?

For the most part, Harper is aware of what causes negative things in her life. If it’s her fault, she’ll take responsibility and try to fix it or apologize. If it’s not her fault, she’ll probably confront whomever is at fault if they’re not owning up to it. Tragedies are a little different though. When her aunt dies, for example, Harper is angry at the gods and the world for a while and puts all the blame on them. As she copes with the grief, she stops blaming the world as much.

31. Describe a scenario in which your character feels most comfortable.

Harper feels most comfortable when she’s working or creating, especially when it’s for the benefit of others. She’s class president and in a bunch of clubs in high school and she continues to do those sorts of things in college. Being productive makes her feel good and so does being in charge. She’s a leader and a planner.

33. In the face of criticism, is your character defensive, self-deprecating, or willing to improve?

Her first reaction is usually to be defensive. But like I said before, she recognizes when she’s at fault, and she also recognizes when criticism is valid. Once she gets over her initial defensiveness, she’s willing to improve.

Rhyder

4. Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?

There’s a lot actually. His step-dad’s drunkenness and abuse turns Rhyder away from ever wanting children. He also doesn’t drink much because of how Paul acted when he was drunk. There are only a few times in his whole life he gets drunk. When he was a kid, his parents called the cops all the time (on each other, on Rhyder, etc). There were a couple police officers that were very kind to him but on the whole, Rhyder has no faith in cops. They never got him out of his home situation, and he holds a grudge against them for that. He doesn’t trust authority figures in general because he feels like they never came through for him. When Rhyder is in high school, one of his friends ODs. After that, he stays away from drugs. There’s an experience when he’s twenty at a gay nightclub that really impacts him.

9. Is your character’s current socioeconomic status different than it was when they were growing up?

Rhyder didn’t know much about his socioeconomic status growing up; he just knew that his parents spent as little money as possible on him and instead spent it on themselves. They didn’t have much money and his parents were in debt, but Rhyder didn’t know about that. When he runs away he has next to no money but he does okay because of Oscar and camp. When he’s living on his own, he does better than his parents did because he’s learned to live without luxuries and if he’s ever tight on cash he’ll lift a wallet off a rich guy walking down the street.

11. In what situation was your character the most afraid they’ve ever been?

The bad experience at the gay nightclub I mentioned. I know that’s vague as hell but tbh I never intended to post about it b/c Rhyder wouldn’t wanna talk about it soooo idk I’ll talk about it over messaging but I don’t wanna post about it

15. Is your character preoccupied with money or material possession? Why or why not?

Not really. His parents are so materialistic that Rhyder is turned off from materialism and greed. If and when he steals, it’s because he needs something, like food or clothing. Rhyder wishes that money wasn’t a factor in life at all.

Graham

10. Does your character feel more comfortable with more clothing, or with less clothing?

Less!! Graham would rather never wear clothes. Honestly so many of his friends have seen him naked and they’re like “graham pls. at least put some shorts on.” All the swimsuits he wears are pretty small he has no shame

17. What was your character’s favorite toy as a child?

Aquaman action figure! He still has it. He brings it back and forth with him to EA and home.

25. How quick is your character to suspect someone else? Does this change if they are close with that person?

Not quick at all. Graham always assumes the best of people, which is maybe why most of his friends are intimidating. He always believes people aren’t as bad as they seem. Unfortunately, this causes him grief sometimes (aka Darren). He’s even less likely to suspect people he’s close to. However, he is suspicious of people he doesn’t like. That’s how he was with Levi for a while.

36. How does your character behave around people they dislike?

Soooo sarcastic. He can pretend to like people if he has to or wants to but when he doesn’t want to he’s very sarcastic. If he’s with Vaughn (and lbh when is he not), he’ll whisper comments about the person to Vaughn.

Ygritte

30. What does your character find repulsive or disgusting?

There’s not a whole lot ‘cause she grew up on a space ship and dealt with a lot of medical stuff after her accident, so she’s pretty desensitized to gross things. She finds it gross when people don’t keep up personal hygiene when they have every opportunity to be hygienic. She’s also deeply offended by white chocolate (it’s not real chocolate).

34. Is your character more likely to keep trying a solution/method that didn’t work the first time, or immediately move on to a different solution/method?

Ygritte will try to method one more times, maybe two if the method worked in the past. After that, she’ll move on to a different method.

41. Does your character feel that they deserve to have what they want, whether it be material or abstract, or do they feel they must earn it first?

Kind of a combination of the two. Ygritte thinks it’s important to work for what she wants and earn it, but she also feels like she was dealt a bad hand and deserves better than what life has given her.

colton + all ! :o

Okay!! so here is Colton!!

What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?a while - sometimes he has to go on reconnaissance patrols and sit for hours watching the enemy. however if nothing fruitful is coming of sitting about still for hours, he can get a little agitated. How easy is it for your character to laugh? not very - he’s very stoic. his features are like stone and his humour has been diminished over many years of facing war. How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)ha ha ha. pretty to assume he sleeps. if out on a mission or facing a tremendous battle, he doesn’t sleep all too often and will try to count himself down into sleep from twenty. How easy is it to earn their trust?not very. he holds everyone at arms length. although, the team he is with, the other Exalts, he trusts wholeheartedly. once gained it’s not easily shaken (but can be easily lost if you betray him; he’s not one for second chances) Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?that depends; being a soldier he has to follow rules rigidly, but if he sees that it would be immoral to follow the law and so breaking a rule or two may be the better option, i don’t think he’d face any doubt and would go ahead and break them. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?there’s a scent of lavender that gives him nostalgia - it triggers memories of being young and warm and safe with his family; not that he really remembers who they are. he just sees fuzzy faces and hears ghostly whispers... but he knows those days as a child were his happiest. it’s a kind of bittersweet feeling, one he doesn’t like to be exposed to often, in fear that he’ll lose his will to face the wars. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?he can’t really remember... he’s certain his father would often tell him to “stand straight, shoulders back - you’re supposed to be a proud boy”. Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?yeah, he swears - but he’s naturally a man of few words so he doesn’t swear all that often. it’s more so when he’s getting emotional/specifically angry. he doesn’t remember his first swear word, but i can guarantee that it was “you’re a left bollock, Junior.” to a fellow Exalt-in-training. What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?“Everything’s going to be fine. You’re going to make it.” it haunts his every waking hour. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?he’ll kinda just crinkle up his nose and then huff. to which many tut and explain again (not common though) What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?black - simple and like his soulWhat animal do they fear most?i don’t think he’s had much contact with animals - he’s not been back to earth in years. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?he’s a natural leader and his words are chosen very meticulously - he doesn’t need to rehearse what he’s going to say, oftentimes there’s no room for that; he’s supposed to lead a team in the middle of a raging war, he can’t dillydally. What makes their stomach turn?being unable to protect rookies out in the field to give them another chance at living another day. Are they easily embarrassed?nope. What embarrasses them?literally nothing. he takes everything in his stride and it makes it very difficult to do anything to him. What is their favorite number?i don’t think he’d put much thought into this - however 20 seems to be his go-to. If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?he wouldn’t. he hasn’t a clue. all he’s known is fighting. he could explain his not-so-love for that. Why do they get up in the morning? “to protect the galaxy!” which is the motto he’s begrudgingly engraved into his mind. How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)? i think he becomes very agitated and can say things that are very cold/mean to the people he is jealous of. How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)? he becomes very resentful - he envies those who get to live a life without the need to worry about when your last day is going to be. he envies those who experience peace daily because he’s out in the world bleeding and fighting for them. Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom? tbh, i doubt he’s thought about it - i don’t think he’s too fussed. he’s more, like, indifferent if it comes up in conversation, easily getting bored of the topic. What are their thoughts on marriage? meh, doesn’t see himself getting married. but he supposes it’s alright.. What is their preferred mode of transportation? they’re called “Hawks” - a type of small, stealth ship that can carry a small team of Exalts into a specified location. it��s a quick entry, a quite ride and the seats can be comfy. What causes them to feel dread? his inability to save othersWould they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth? he can take an unpleasant truth. don’t lie to him. he’ll fight you over it. Do they usually live up to their own ideals? yes - he holds others to these ideals too and often finds himself disappointed if people don’t follow them. Who are they the most glad to have met? another Exalt called Mandy. she’s super funny, has his back constantly - they’ve both admitted that they see each other as family and that’s a level barely anyone gets to with Colton. HE WOULD DIE FOR HER. she’s also younger than he is, and so if anyone starts to show interest in her, he slides in with narrowed eyes. makes it known he will end whoever it is if they hurt her. Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? no, he’s not much of a conversationalist. he lets other people talk. Could they be considered lazy? never - he’s always doing something, whether that be brooding in the corner or going over mission plans and everything in between. How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt? very. he’s like atlas, bearing the world on his shoulders and if he loses a soldier, it’s his own personal fault. guilt can stay with him for months. How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive? very supportive - with the few words he spares. he may seem uninterested but there’s a shine in his eye at seeing his friends feel emotion other than fear/dread/anger etc. Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap? he doesn’t seek it or wait for it - i don’t think he actually cares for it. Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)? if he likes a person/thing, he’ll just remember it. if he doesn’t like a person he’ll call them every variation of that name he can - remembering lists of numbers is easy bc he has a photographic memory so it kinda just stays in his head without the need to keep going over them. What memory do they revisit the most often? his memories are fuzzy, so i don’t think it’s a visual memory he’ll go to - but as aforementioned, the smell of lavender is something he remembers. How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people? very difficult for him and he’ll call people out for their flaws. How sensitive are they to their own flaws?he realises that he’s not perfect and tries to rectify his own flaws. How do they feel about children? what now? he hasn’t seen a child in years! i don’t think he’d know what to do with a child except from hold it at arms length whilst staring at it like a new discovery. tentatively but with apprehension. How badly do they want to reach their end goal? very badly - a world of peace. although he knows deep down that peace may never be achieved; there’s always someone willing to start a fight. If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so? he’d shrug and make vague gestures which pretty much sums up his sexuality. although i’m inclined to say he’s aro/ace or both.

QUESTIONS FOR CREATORSA) Why are you excited about this character?because he’s in space and holy shit i love space. also he’s a stoic man that i can call my son. B) What inspired you to create them?Shirokage218 C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?not really, i’d been mulling over the story but never had characters figured out, so slotting him in was easy. D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?tbh i can imagine i’ll change him about a little bit, but he is a new oc so there’s time for improvement yet. E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?i think he’d want to protect me cause i’m weak af. i would be intimidated by him initially but then would feel tremendous pain for him - he’s been through a lot. F) What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?excitement and sadness - excitement because he as a character to me is cool, but when i think about him actually alive in the world i’ve created, i feel shitty because sorry colton u have a hard life 8) G) What trait of theirs bothers you the most?the inability to laugh. lighten up man geez H) What trait do you admire most?his braveryI) Do you prefer to keep them in their canon universe?yeah, because space. and tbh i don’t think he’d suit anything else. J) Did you have to manipulate or exclude canon factors to allow them to create their character?nope!

Thank you @defenestrata for this ask!! Hope i’ve given more insight in him!!

Make story about Ererihan feat 104th cadet please❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Your wish! Is my command

I TBH wrote this while listening to Some Nights by FUN (great song). So have some immature jokes along the way, I wanted it to be a bit funny since the last three fics I have written last time were all sad XD

Some Nights (EruRiHan x 104th Cadets - Midnight Breaks)

Theme: Drinking and Bets

Rating: PG

Warning: Curse Words

AOT WEEK || send your asks/requests here x.

They watched as the squad leader took another swig of her mug, gulping all the contents in one solid motion. Cheers erupted, as her cheeks flushed pink under the influence of alcohol, smiling goofily and eyes seeming to wander into all directions.

Connie and Sasha watched her with fascination as she laughed it off, their minds equally affected with booze as she was. Jean Kirchtein had been bragging how he was better than the squad leader while Eren had challenged him, the poor boy spitting out a his drink after having too much, the others laughing at him as he scolded them, a facade for his embarrassment. Historia quietly had her fill, hesitant at first, but letting herself drown her sorrow of loosing Ymir after a few nudges by Sasha. Amongst the 104th squad, only Mikasa and Armin were sober. The raven haired girl seemingly unaffected even after calling some shots for Jaeger, Armin as always, said no to any form of beverage that would put him off his right mind. The Commander and Corporal had also joined their fun for the night, sitting across the young scouts with a drunk off her ass Hanji between them. Erwin had been admittedly buzzed from all he took in the past hour, Levi, still going strong, not even a single finger twitching as he took on more liquid.

These were the rare nights of the Survey Corps, wherein they’d be goofing around after a long and tiring day. Some of the nights they’d cherish, drinking under the subtle lamp light inside the pantry after dark. The Commander, even after loosing an arm a couple of weeks ago, would not pass this moment up. Levi, just right after his leg was healed took part in the chaos as well, claiming they would need someone sober to look after them. Hanji drowned herself, avoiding the thoughts of her fallen friends in the last expedition. The 104th cadets were still accepting the fact that Reiner and Bertholdt were the titans that wreaked havoc and ruined peace five years ago.

They let themselves indulge in the cheap alcohol Mike had left them in one of the cellars of the kitchen. A few bottles immediately going empty while the stronger ones were reserved for the long run. They were already on half of a bottle of Bacardi, taking shots alternatively as they laughed and share stories, forgetting about all the problems and sadness for now.

“More!” Hanji slurred, raising her mug up as Jean shakily slid the bottle across the table, Levi grabbing the glass and stopping it before it reached the brunette woman.

“That’s enough shitty glasses” he hissed, pulling the alcohol away from her direction, while she flailed her arms up lazily in an attempt to reach the item.

“But I want more” she pouted, as he used a free hand to push her away from her forehead.

“You’re already bat shit drunk. You’ll have a damn headache again and complain about your shitty hangover tomorrow morning” he growled, still holding her off.

“He’s right Hanji, you should stop” Erwin spoke from her opposite side, taking another swig of his own share.

“I really get the same answers from the same old men” she laughed bitterly. “You are all no fair”

The two men, upon noticing her distress, looked at each other and nodded. Levi let go of the bottle and poured her half of her glass, which she immediately obliged to. She was most likely thinking about Mike again, and it would beat the whole purpose of their drinking.

Levi knew it would take her only a few more drops to be knocked out, that was all they needed. As selfish as it is, they wanted to forget everything even for the night and act like everything was alright. They just needed a small break from reality before facing the truth again come day break, they didn’t need the squad leader sharing gloom after already an hour of being stress free.

As Levi predicted, she let down her mug and let it tilt till it dropped from her grasp with a thud once it hit the wooden table. Levi winced at the noise and possibility that the glass broke. He lifted it up carefully and sighed as he eyed at her peacefully sleeping figure. She had always bee the same, resistance low for booze, always the first one to be knocked out cold during their sessions.

He reached out a hand to carefully remove stray strands of hair that framed her eyes, another set of fingers hitting his before he could do so. His gaze met the blonde man from the other direction, eyebrows equally furrowed as his as they showed the same concern for the woman between them, tension slowly building up that the new recruits seemed to notice.

“I bet they both have a thing for the squad leader” Connie first whispered to Sasha, way too loud that the two men heard it, and whipped their attention towards the boy.

“Seconded” Sasha laughed, totally oblivious to the stares of her superiors.

“What are you brats talking about?!” the Corporal hissed, making the duo pipe down as they stared at them with fear.

“N-nothing sir! S-sorry!” The girl trembled, trying to brush them off.

“Well I guess the truth cannot be held off for long” Erwin laughed, surprising the short man nearly a meter away from him. “Relationships aren’t really forbidden amongst us soldiers, but it is a choice” His only hand reached out for her, finally tucking the loose hair behind her hair.

“So is that a confirmation that you indeed like her Commander?” Jean smirked, before Eren nudged him and he managed to spill a few drops of liquor on his pants.

“Why are we even talking about this?” Levi groaned, shooting an intimidating look to the cadets in front of him who seemed to take entertainment into the lives of their superiors.

“I actually do like her, but I’d rather not be selfish for my own feelings” Erwin declared, earning a holler from the scouts.

Levi was becoming confused, not being able to say a word as he stared at the Commander with anger, or rather jealousy. He couldn’t fathom it why he was so affected by Erwin’s proclamation of Love for the filthy woman, but he was beyond annoyed, his heart bubbling an unfamiliar feeling to his senses.

“The Corporal is suddenly quiet” Sasha snickered, earning another glare from him.

“He’s just jealous” Connie pointed out to him.

“Enough about this topic” he growled at everyone, yet they did not pipe down. He started getting tickled off by their alcohol induced systems. They will surely be consumed by their own faults the next morning, through a hell of a hangover. He knew they probably will not remember anything about their activities the next morning, and will wake up groggy and in pain.

“Just admit it Corporal, what happens in this room stays here” Eren gave him a small smile, one that felt weird. Jaeger was surely getting too close with everyone today. He did not even lash out on Mikasa for taking his shares a few times. He only teased Jean quite a fewer times than usual and was getting all good boy manner to everyone else.

“My personal life is none of your business” he took another shot, feeling the pressure everyone around him threw in his way.

“So you admit it?” Armin taunted this time. He shot a look at the boy who who only gave him a playful smile.

“The corporal is blushing” Jean teased, he felt like he could never get tired shooting death glares to the scouts, yet they’d never pay any respect for him in their drunken state.

“So what is it to you if I bathe four eyes, save her from her damn titans, and clean her shitty glasses from time to time huh? You should all just find another brat to like and care about your own damn relationships” he hissed, surprised faces coming his way.

Silence enveloped them, as he realized what he had said. He had just revealed to the young ones that he cared for the woman. Erwin looked at him with a stoic expression, yet fiery eyes which dug into his soul. He returned the favor, having confidence to fight for her but never knew where the feeling came from. A fight on intimidation lingered between the two men, the one they are fighting for safe and soundly asleep under their gazes.

“I bet on the Commander” Jean broke the silence.

“How could you say that?!” Connie shot back. “I’ll put all Sasha’s secret food stash under her bed for the Corporal” the two superiors had directed their attention to the boy. Levi, knowing that he’d be the sober one, took note to check the cadet quarters the following morning for some stolen loots of food.

“Connie!” the brunette nervously hushing her partner.

“Just put your bet on the Corporal and I won’t point it out” she nodded her head.

“I’d say the Corporal” Eren followed, their eyes landing on the people who haven’t voted yet.

“Wherever Eren goes, I go” Mikasa followed.

“I say the safest bet would be the Commander” Historia finally spoke, sudden interest spurting out that the topic.

“But did no one think about Moblit who seemed to admire the Squad Leader so much too?” Armin spoke.

“Shut up Arlert” Levi growled at him, before returning his fury back to Erwin who was still unfazed.

“That was not even in the choices Armin” Eren scolded him while the blonde boy gave an apologetic look.

Their staring contest went on for a few minutes, none of the men showing intent to cave in. Even though it seemed ridiculous that they were fighting about a woman who will probably wake up the next morning without knowledge of what happened, everyone seemed so entertained about it. Two superiors bantering over another one, a rare issue between soldiers that was definitely eye and ear candy for anybody else.

“This is stupid” Levi first groaned, knowing the fight would not result to anything.

“But its already amusing Levi. Besides, I never intend to loose” Erwin added fuel to the fire.

“Shut up Erwin. I bet your brainy ass won’t even remember a thing tomorrow like the rest of you brats” they only laughed at him.

“They may not remember captain, but you’re not the only sober one in this room” Armin gave him a wicked look which sent chills up his spine. The kid has his own way of mental torture that can fuck up everyone in his way. He certainly had something up his sleeve, like the two smart veterans he was fooling with at the moment. They always had a plan, and Arlert seemed to be on their level as well.

“This thing would be useless if you all plummet to unexpected death on the next expedition” he growled, silence suddenly stopping their fun. He touched a sensitive topic which immediately made him want to take it back for a moment. How dare he mention their precious lives into their jokes.

“Yeah that’s right!” Connie screamed. “Therefore, we must all live to witness this great moment of who gets to marry squad leader Hanji” although annoyed, he silently thanked the boy for easing the gloomy aura he caused. The others began to perk up and join him.

“Yup! We will live for years long and watch weather the Commander or Corporal wins” Eren followed short after.

“I still bet on the Commander though” Jean declared.

“And I still bet Sasha’s food stash on the Corporal” he got a glare from the brunette.

“Just shut up and get over with all already” Levi hissed.

“Then I say we survive and see the greater days” Erwin raised his newly filled mug up the air. He sent a smile on Levi’s way as he raised his own glass to the middle.

“Survive and live a better life!” Connie joined in.

“Survive and reclaim land for more cattle and meat!” Sasha piped up, eyes looking up as she imagined all the food opportunities.

“Survive and regain peace for the land” Historia added, somewhat already sounding like a proclaimed queen.

“Survive and reclaim Shiganshina, uncover the knowledge my father had left behind for me” The last trio merged their own glasses to the circle.

“Survive and find out the truth about my titan babies!”

“Survive!” They all chanted, clicking their mugs together and chugging the last drops of liquor they had. A smile on everyone’s faces as they vowed to live.

“Well that was great booze!” her laughter erupted once again, making everyone turn their heads towards her. “What did I miss?” she asked, hazel irises wide as all her comrades stared at her.

“Hanji” Erwin laughed first, clearly intoxicated.

“You fucking four eyes” Levi followed, earning soft chuckles from everyone.

Still, after that night, she was oblivious to everything that happened around her.

Hey, in a recent post regarding the fandom's ability to misinterpret a character you tagged Mateo and Naomi. I was hoping you could do a character analysis on Mateo and maybe Naomi and also talk about how the fandom normally portrays these characters. Especially in a fandom that, I believe, is filled with really young people, it is hard to find good discussions. I read that one you did on Esteban and it was really informative and spot on. PS Thanks for shipping Eleteo our ship is so small lol!

Sorry it’s taken me so long to answer this! It’s true that the fandom is very young, thanks to the target audience and the fact that a lot of the fanbase is carried over from Sofia the First. I’d estimate that the entire active fandom is under 35 and over half is under 20 (including me tbh, but I try to keep the discussions high-level). And you’re welcome for the Eleteo, I’ve shipped it since the show was first announced. Alright, on to the analysis!

Mateo is tricky because the way he’s characterized by the fandom makes sense in some ways, but it’s also cherry-picking his character to fit an archetype that he doesn’t follow. This is the Nervous Nerd (TV tropes probably has a better name, but I’ll stick with this for now), which is very common in character-driven media and seen in characters like Milo Thatch, Hiccup, and Prince Desmond. You know, the character who’s super smart and reads lots of books, but has really low self-confidence and gets flustered when talking to people. Oh, and usually has a crush on the Confident Female Protagonist/Deuteragonist.

Now Mateo is book-smart, dorky, and has a crush on Elena. And yeah, his self-confidence could use some work. But he’s not generally anxious, in fact he’s usually quite calm and even a source of stability for Elena. In First Day of Rule he’s the one to ask her “What’s the plan?” and willingly follows Elena on her expedition to rescue Isabel. Compare this to Naomi, who everyone thinks of as more assertive, who reacts with surprise when Elena invites her on the mission (“Who, me? But I don’t know how to ride one of those things!”).

In Island of Youth it’s Mateo who comes up with the plan to get the flower and makes sure that they don’t vanish along with the island. I think it’s significant that he pushes the boat off the shore and not Elena, because it shows that he’s willing to put himself in danger to help his friends, just like a leader should. In The Scepter of Light, he goes to stop Orizaba even though it’s clear by how jumpy he is in the temple that he’s kind of scared of her, and when Elena shows up he takes the lead. Then when Elena’s upset because she thinks it’s her fault that Orizaba got the Eye of Midnight, Mateo’s the one to reassure her that there’s still hope and later encourages her to use the Scepter.

Spellbound shows him struggling with feeling that he’s not good enough to be the Royal Wizard or to succeed his grandfather, but these insecurities aren’t part of his normal personality. As @pizzansunshine discusses in her post about the significance of Elena singing The Magic Within You to Mateo, he’s practiced magic illegally for years with no one to share it with, no way to get feedback or know if he’s doing it right. So naturally he would feel inadequate compared to other wizards or sorcerers with a lifetime of resources and experience.

But when Fiero attacks, look how easily and confidently he casts his spells, protecting his friends on the balcony and duelling Fiero in the courtyard. Magic is second nature to Mateo, and when the stakes are high he always comes through. Even as early as Secret of Avalor, where he admits that his spells usually take multiple tries to work, he successfully frees Elena’s family from the painting because he knows she’s counting on him.

Yet for some reason many fanfictions portray Mateo as struggling with his spells and reluctant to accompany Elena on her adventures, or anytime a story does show Mateo being confident people comment that it’s “out of character”. Also for some reason his relationships with the other characters are misconstrued as a rivalry or a weird submissiveness. In canon he snarks amicably with Gabe (Captain Turner Returns), gets exasperated by Naomi (First Day of Rule, My Fair Naomi), isn’t intimidated by Esteban (Island of Youth, My Fair Naomi), and gets along well with Isabel (The Scepter of Light). He doesn’t need Elena to constantly reassure him of his own abilities, not when he’s assertive enough to flirt with her (Spirit Monkey Business).

Tl;dr: Yes, Mateo’s a huge dork and a cinnamon roll, but he’s assertive and supportive, not passive and submissive. And him and Elena are very close and think very highly of one another.

Now for Naomi! (Wow, that was a lot) I’ll try to make this shorter.

In every work with a social media fandom, there’s always one character who is unofficially deemed the favorite and made several times more heroic and badass by fanon. For Elena of Avalor, that character is Naomi. In my dumb EOA tag yourself meme that has somehow become my most popular post, I noticed that easily the most tags were for Nyan Cat (Naomi). People can identify with her because she’s non-royal, snarky, self-confident, and tomboyish, like Cassandra from the Tangled series (also a tumblr fave).

But this is one of Naomi’s biggest traits, often ignored to fit her more neatly into the Sassy Best Friend archetype: she’s ambitious. It shows quite a bit in First Day of Rule—she argues with the chancellor (Esteban was the public face of the government, she has to know who he is), jokes about wanting the power to turn objects into gold, and reacts with enthusiasm upon being chosen for the Grand Council. Most 15-year-olds probably would have at least asked “Isn’t there someone more qualified than me?”, but Naomi is excited to be handed a major government position.

Her first solo Something Special really highlights this. I’ve gotta do something special/If I’m gonna be someone special/Gotta shine so bright with a blinding light/Like a star I’ll be celestial… This isn’t just her trying to prove herself to Esteban, it’s her wanting to be important, to make an impact. In Captain Turner Returns, we see Naomi’s thrived on the Grand Council, taking on projects like restoring the lighthouse and making a difference in the lives of all the people, just like she wanted.

In My Fair Naomi, although Esteban is the instigator, Naomi absolutely eats up the idea of being the center of attention. It’s not like the STF episode Tea for Too Many (though it’s similar), where Amber is constantly prodding Sofia to make everything grander and more elaborate. Here Naomi quickly takes over the party planning, making a floral arrangement of her own face and picking out ostentatious dresses for herself and Elena on her own initiative. She’s ambitious, confident, and not very humble, something that could be used for good or bad. In this way Naomi’s a lot more like Esteban than she’d ever admit, and it makes for a much more interesting dynamic.

Tl;dr: Naomi’s a lot more complex and potentially morally grey than people make her out to be, and the supportive, funny best friend personality that people assign to her might just work better on Mateo.

:3c mirsan and kagsan? 💕💕

of COURSE jenny my sweet devil 💖💖💖

who is more likely to hurt the other?

mirsan: I think if we’re talking during the series, Miroku’s flirting and gags really start to wear Sango down and she can’t help but feel hurt. By the time they’re married though, I headcanon Sango has moments where she shuts down or her trauma takes hold of her and it causes her to act in ways that hurt Miroku, but they talk about it and realize where she’s coming from and work through it

kagsan: I can see Sango doing the same thing above with Kagome! It’s in Kagome’s nature and heart to want to help someone no matter what, and I think it might come off sometimes as overbearing and if Sango is in a certain mindset she may not be ready for that, but Kagome would eventually understand. BUT you know what I would have loved loved loved to see? When Kagome and Sango first use the hot springs together and Kagome hesitantly tells Sango she’s the reason why the jewel shattered, I wanted to see Sango react with something other than mild shock for half a second. It could have been really amazing to see them work through that together, especially considering what happens to Kohaku that same episode/chapter!!

more under the cut~

who is emotionally stronger?

mirsan: This is kind of tricky to think about?! I think Sango wears her emotions on her sleeve but there is a strength in being your authentic self and not hiding how you feel. But Miroku on the other hand is much more apt to keeping things below the surface and showing calmness and control, even if he is bubbling up underneath with anger or sadness or something else. I think he can prevent cracking under a difficult situation more easily, but I also believe that what Sango has lived through has made her immensely strong and I don’t think that’s undone by crying and showing those emotions sometimes!

kagsan: I think Kagome has a special gift of being able to carry on despite feeling intense emotions, and so while Sango might be overcome and feel like giving up, Kagome is driven to continue despite the odds, and that takes incredible emotional strength.

who is physically stronger?

mirsan: 💪 SANGO 💪

kagsan: 💪 SANGO 💪

who is more likely to break a bone?

mirsan: HAHA well….. they both have a complete and total disregard for their wellbeing when their loved ones are in danger but…. if I’m remembering correctly, every time Miroku was incapacitated in canon it was because of sucking up too many bees or miasma, or maybe he got cut here and there, and for Sango it was always from physical injury, including being hit by hiraikotsu or thrown from Kirara etc, so I’m gonna say Sango!!

kagsan: again, Sango!! I think Kagome’s physical injuries were limited to acid burns or cuts and whatnot, and either way Sango is reckless enough to end up badly hurt for Kagome’s sake imo

who knows best what to say to upset the other?

mirsan: LOL ummm Miroku might make the occasional ignorant/misinformed comment here and there, but I think Sango knows how to Read Him and incinerate his entire life

kagsan: AND YET remember in “Only You, Sango” when Kagome EVISCERATED Miroku with that speech about how much better Kuranosuke was than him? mmmmm Yeah she knows how 2 fucking use her Words to end a life

who is most likely to apologise first after an argument?

mirsan: Definitely Miroku!!! He is NOT one to drag something out, just picture him chasing Sango around in the catfish episode lmao. SANGOOOO SANGO HEYYY WAIT—

kagsan: Oh my god lol they’d both apologize at the same time and blush and then argue why its their fault and not the fault of the other person, I genuinely don’t think either one would ever spend more time than necessary brooding after a fight!!

who treats who’s wounds more often?

mirsan: Mmmm I’d say it’s pretty even (see previously: how fucking reckless they both are and therefore prone to injury)! Then again a lot of the time when Miroku is injured it’s a matter of waiting and watching as the poison passes through his system. But in a world where Sango grows up to be the leader of the rebuilt taijiya village, I think Miroku would spend plenty of time massaging out any knots and treating any injuries sustained from a day of heavy training ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

kagsan: Kagome treats Sango’s wounds with her handy dandy futuristic medical kit!! She frets and frets over how hurt Sango gets but Sango is usually waving it off with a blush 😊

who is in constant need of comfort?

mirsan: Sango. The trauma she has gone through doesn’t disappear just because Naraku is gone and Kohaku is back, and sometimes it becomes too much to bear and she needs to be loved and soothed and reminded that it’s okay and will continue to be okay.

kagsan: Same answer as above. The moment from the stolen tessaiga arc where Kagome holds her and strokes her hair is far from the only time she does this for Sango, I think.

who gets more jealous?

mirsan: SANGO

kagsan: o my god….. fuk…… I’m… gonna say Sango again but just BARELY lmao, if only because Sango doesn’t really hide it very well whereas I think Kagome kind of does?

who’s most likely to walk out on the other?

mirsan: WHY WOULD U MAKE ME THINK OF THIS!!! I’m not gonna answer this in the way I think this question is phrased (aka who would leave the relationship) but instead, based on how Miroku has left Sango for the sake of her safety re: inside Naraku when he fears the kazaana is just about at its limit and could swallow him and anyone around him at a moment’s notice, I’m gonna say Miroku. He would do what he had to do to keep her out of harm’s way, even if it meant leaving her side. I also think Sango is at her core someone who is loyal and stands by others and I don’t see her leaving anyone unless that person really, truly hurt her and betrayed her.

kagsan: okay even though I just said Sango is loyal and wouldn’t leave someone, I think if she thought she was a burden to Kagome or that she brought nothing but trouble for her (again with the stolen tessaiga arc), Sango might try to leave to spare her. But Kagome is Kagome and therefore if there’s one thing she would want, it’s to stay by her side no matter what.

who will propose?

mirsan: Mirokuuuuu huehuehuee

kagsan: KAGOME! I think she’s much more romantically inclined and outgoing compared to Sango, so she’d def pop the question first 💍

who has the most difficult parents?

mirsan: LOL uhhh well we know nothing about their one of their mothers, but Miroku’s dad went off and left Miroku with a drunk uncle for like his entire life and meanwhile Sango’s dad is the head of the village and trained his two children to be able to kill giant centipedes and spider demons, so I’m gonna go with Sango’s

kagsan: Man again, Sango’s dad is already intimidating enough but compared to how lax and cool Kagome’s mom is with her daughter just doing as she pleases and hopping down into a well to fight demons in the past, Sango’s dad is practically a drill seargant

who initiates hand-holding when they’re out in public?

mirsan: Miroku x9348502 he is all about physical intimacy and loves little romantic gestures that make Sango blush!!

kagsan: lmao Kagome is so bubbly and outgoing, again I think she’d initiate the physical intimacy over Sango out in public and her girl would just be beet red

who comes up for the other all the time?

mirsan: What does this even mean…. What…. Like who thinks of who more? Lmao I have no idea how to interpret this question so uh, I think Miroku can’t shut up about Sango and she always comes up in conversation, he also can’t shut up about his babies, he’s like Maes Hughs when it comes to gushing about his family tbh????

kagsan: KAGOME IS THE SAME WAY lmao she is always gushing about Sango. “Did you see Sango just throttle Inuyasha during sparring? o my god and the way she lifted him and threw him over the fence? I saw stars 😍😍😍“

who hogs the blankets?

mirsan: Sango is a total blanket hog and Miroku lays there with a pathetic “why me” face while he is forced to lay there freezing because is he going to wake up his wife and ask her to share? of course not.

kagsan: Sango IS Kagome’s blanket, u fool. u absolute fool!!!

who gets more sad?

mirsan: Sango, re: complex trauma and the tendency to let her emotions pour out.

kagsan: Same as above, but Kagome’s empathy makes it difficult for her not to come right down to where Sango’s at in the moment

who is better at cheering the other up?

mirsan: Miroku 100%. His main defense mechanism, I think, is humor; he can artfully use that to turn a situation around and earn a smile from Sango, but he is also great at instilling hope and reminding her that she can do what she feels she cannot

kagsan: Kagome’s positivity is so contagious, it’s hard for Sango to remain sad sometimes when Kagome is there, always cheering her on!

who’s the one that playfully slaps the other all the time after they make silly jokes?

mirsan: Sango!! Miroku is always being a silly lil idiot lmao

kagsan: hmmmm I think Kagome, mostly because I remember her popping out of the bushes in “Only You, Sango” and doing that to Miroku after she scared him half to death lmao

who is more streetwise?

mirsan: Miroku. I think he’s traveled around a loooot more and knows the ins and outs/the lay of the land, plus he knows how to get a free bed for the night 👀👀👀

kagsan: Sango, but I mean that’s kind of a given because Kagome isn’t even from that time period!! I love the idea of Sango teaching Kagome all about her era and the customs, since it’s likely that at her age Kagome has only just started learning about the feudal era

who is more wise?

mirsan: I think Miroku; I’m pretty sure it’s filler-y nonsense but when Sango explains the shikon jewel, one of the “four souls” is wisdom, and it shows Miroku when she says it BUT LIKE besides that, I see him as someone very in touch with old texts and scriptures and if this were a modern AU he’d definitely be in a few philosophy courses. He may not be the most virtuous monk but I still think he knows his shit!!

kagsan: I’d say Sango! Given how much she knew of the legend of Midoriko, I think she possesses some very useful, powerful wisdom (and knowledge re: demon slaying tactics and strategies). Where Kagome still appears very young mentally, Sango seems much older than just 16 and part of that is her mental age and I tie that to wisdom

who’s the shyest?

mirsan: 😳 SANGO 😳

kagsan: 😳 SANGO 😳

who boasts about the other more?

mirsan: Ok fuck I answered the earlier question wrong then. O well. Miroku never shuts the fuck up and can u blame him? He married a goddess and had three perfect children with her. I too would never shut up.

kagsan: And if you think Kagome isn’t the same way about this as Miroku is then o my god u poor thing u are so wrong, Kagome has literal heart eyes for Sango at all times and is Will Smith Introducing Jada.png in any given moment

who sits on who’s lap?

mirsan: boy….. Sango sits in his lap….. he’s a walking Blanket Fic, I can see why

kagsan: Kagome sits in Sango’s lap and is a giddy little ball of smiles the whole time!!!
