#tbh i can see her being extremely overprotective of him and always in his corner even after the Indigo disc

[furretd0ll]

wait what do you mean this isn't how teal mask ended???

[reallypleasanttree]

thank you so much for all your hard work writing!! i binged (read) all your stories I'm so obsessed. I remember you saying you don't take requests, but do u know what Misturi/Obanai as a family would look like? It always kills me how we never got to see them and their five kids, like I would die seeing Obanai care for his kids and wife :.((

Thank you so much for reading my fics! :3 I’d love to see Obanai and Mitsuri and raising their family. I hope the anime shows at least one of their kids in the last episode, but I’m reaching for any Obamitsu crumbs tbh. Hopefully, this fits what you’re asking for 🥰

For an Obamitsu family, I’m going to base my headcanons on their reincarnated lives from Chapter 205 where they run a restaurant and have five kids. 

Obanai owned the restaurant and Mitsuri came in during her lunch break. She worked at a clothing shop around the corner. They became friends and Mitsuri asked him out first. They got married and she quit her job to help him run the restaurant. 

Their first kid is a girl named Haru, black hair with dark green eyes. She’s fairly loud and enjoys being the center of attention. She’s the most creative out of their kids and constantly makes up stories or drawing. Mitsuri indulges her quite a bit because it’s her first baby. 

Second kid is a boy named Yuuta who has long black hair, normally braided with teal eyes. Beauty marks under both eyes. He takes after his father where he is quiet, enjoys books and his solitude, but not shy like most would think. 

Third and fourth kids are a pair of twin girls named Kiyomi and Izumi. Growing up they had dark hair and blue-green eyes, but Izumi started eating Sakura mochi religiously and her hair changed to pink and green like Mitsuri’s. Kiyomi takes after her mother, being a ray of sunshine, always smiling and joking with her siblings. She’s rather sensitive and gets upset when her siblings fight. Izumi and Yuuta are close due to their love of books. Unlike Yuuta, Izumi is shy and hides behind her siblings and parents. She’s the most compassionate out of them. 

Their last kid was a surprise and about five years younger than the rest. His name is Kagaya, named after Obanai’s favorite high school teacher. He’s joyful, inquisitive, and naive. His siblings are highly protective of them.

As parents, Mitsuri prefers a gentle approach. When their kids misbehave, Mitsuri asks them to explain why they did something, how their actions affect them and others, and what they could do differently in the future. She thinks it’s important for her children to recognize their mistakes and how they can better themselves. She usually indulges every want and desire they have and encourages them to reach for the stars. Obviously, she is extremely affectionate and makes sure to tuck her kids in every night. 

Obanai, on the other hand, can be stern and enact punishment quickly when disciplining their children. His approach is more militant. When Haru was caught putting gum in her brother’s hair, Obanai took away her sweets and electronics for a week. Mitsuri and him have had several discussions regarding his punishments and over time they’ve mellowed out. Obanai is overprotective of their children and keeps note on all their locations, friends, and interests. He and Mitsuri will shut down the restaurant to attend a school event or sports game. His parents were not the most supportive, so he wants to ensure his children know he’ll support them in whatever they choose.

Rank: 10/10

PREMISE

flashback to 6-8 years ago (because the OP here can’t remember lol): it’s desk selection day in qiao yi’s classroom! a very dramatic moment for all high schoolers, qia yi has to select who she sits next to. because she’s at the bottom of the class ranking, she gets last pick, which essentially narrows down her choices to that creepy kid who writes love poetry to every female student in the class and yan mo, the scary genius student who has placed 1st in their class since...forever.

taking a gamble, qiao yi goes with yan mo. yan mo eventually agrees to tutoring qiao yi outside of class and they become friends. then...friends? if you know what i mean. it’s very sweet and cute. only problem is that yan mo is both a genius and from a Family of Means, and so is already planning on attending cambridge (yeah, fucking cambridge) after graduation. not wanting to separate, yan mo asks qiao yi to come with him and she agrees to study hard so she can get accepted to a university in the UK, too.

but then, well, bad shit happened. 

qiao yi ended up staying in their home town, yan mo left for cambridge, and we got two v heartbroken teenagers on our hands.

4 years later, yan mo returns after studying in the uk, and by chance they end up bumping into each other. angry because qiao yi hurt him, yan mo puts up an ALOOF AND COLD AND I DONT CARE AT ALL front that she sadly buys. but after he leaves for the big city to pursue a business opportunity, qiao yi harnesses some amazing big dick energy to go after him, in a sort of inverse DONT LET HER GET ON THAT PLANE! move. very abba. 

the plot bounces between their (and their friends’) high school years, their lives as reunited adults, and their future lives as married folks. i love it very, very much.

MAIN CHARACTERS

zhao qiao yi

as a high schooler, qiao yi was a quiet girl with low self-esteem, who consistently ranked at the bottom of her class and was always attempting to retreat into her school tracksuit like a turtle. despite this, qiao yi has some solid friends and is always kind if somewhat shy or uncomfortable in certain situations. as a adult, qiao yi works as a television producer and is clearly more confident. 

she buys truly awful graphic t-shirts as thank you gifts that one feels obligated to wear. falls for scams easily. will help you fold 1000 paper stars for your boyfriend even if she hates your boyfriend because she’s ride or die like that. look at how cute she is no one is allowed to be mean to someone as cute as this.

yan mo / “frank”

if you liked se hee in because this is my first life, you’re in luck because here is a 10% angrier version. at first, yan mo seems cold, aloof, snobbish, pretentious, arrogant...

okay, but he’s ALSO got a lot of feelings and will help people out. well, at the start of the show, he’ll help two people out. but that expands to like 10. so, progress! in high school, he falls for qiao yi in the typical Cannot Spit It Out fashion, buying her sentimental cans of coke, PUTTING IN ONE EARBUD SO SHE CAN LISTEN TO THE BEATLES WITH HIM, feeling Weird about her tying his tie, and single-handedly ruining a for-profit afterschool tutoring business in about 30 seconds, because they weren’t teaching qiao yi anything, and he knew he could do it better. tbh he completely fucking destroys a lot of things and people in under a minute. #ruthless

he’s very protective of qiao yi and rather than explain it, here is a clip from the special episode where yan mo confronts another student who left a love confession meant for qiao yi in his desk by mistake (subtitles have to be selected under settings, but it’s subbed in english):

zhao guan chao

zhao qiao yi’s twin brother, who has always placed 2nd in their classes after yan mo. despite his high grades, he comes off as a laidback teen heartthrob and has a reputation for being a flake and a playboy. BUT he’s legit a chill dude and clearly popular for a reason--he gets along with (almost) everyone. he loves his sister and is extremely protective of her, especially since she’s so shy and has low self-esteem for Reasons That Will Be Explained in the Tragic Backstory. he’s such a good brother. the best brother. also looks out for qiao yi’s best friend, wu yi. understands the value of shoes.

hao wu yi

qiao yi’s best friend, and another classmate of The Crew. i say this with so, so much love, but she’s got a lot of chaotic dumbass energy. struggling along the bottom ranks with qiao yi during high school. she has the worst taste in men as a teenager, falling for the guy who literally bullied her in like. ep 2. thankfully she’s got qiao yi and guanchao.

the trio are close, and that doesn’t change as they grow up. wu yi ends up becoming a novelist who writes pop and steamy romance novels and has a significant teenage girl fanbase. it’s amazing. 

fei da chuan

my boy. another classmate, he, qiao yi, and wu yi make up the official Dumbass Trio of their high school class and have adorable adventures + solidarity in it. he’s also yan mo’s uncle. somehow. because rich people families are wild. while he’s got a place to live, he more often than not crashes at yan mo’s, who Does Not Like It. but da chuan does not notice or care. 

abrasive but 100% sincere about everything and toward everyone. people will think he’s an asshole or a gangster but then he’s secretly feeding abandoned kittens in the corner or something. as an adult, has the best business casual outfits. serves as a big brother figure to a lot of people, but qiao yi in particular. cannot, cannot fucking do math.

SUPPORTING

“alicia” / cheng youmei. an old family friend of yan mo’s who is very posh and rich and dignified. studied abroad with him at cambridge, and is cold toward qiao yi after arriving back in china. cosplays B)

teacher gao. everyone’s high school teacher who later owns a bar that seems to be there only for dispensing advice. seriously. there is no way this bar is economically sound as the only customers you ever see are gao’s students coming in one at a time for Wisdom and you never see them pay for anything. also the bar has no fucking roof and is directly above traintracks. i have hang-ups about this bar

lin shu. yan mo’s mother. very sweet and pretty and a ballernia turned program director. is almost never home but clearly loves her son. du chaun’s sister. somehow.

zhao suyin. qiao yi and guan chao’s mother. one of her kinks is roleplaying condor heroes characters? okay okay okay

tian weimin. qiao yi and guan chao’s stepfather who works as police officer. best dad award. he’s so sweet and corny and peak dad humor. he loves them kids & they love him back

grandpa. yan mo’s dog in high school. a very old basset hound with sad eyes:

dollar or d. i cant tell you anything about him, other than he used to be a stray and yan mo says he’s ugly, which, rude.

DRAWBACKS

plot...hm. there’s SOME plot, but this is about characters + romance + friendship + family. if you’re looking for scheming mothers-in-law or tragic car accidents or secret destinies this isn’t the one for you. similar in vibe to Reply 1988 (they even watch the show in the show :’D / make references to it)

OKAY SO every plot summary i’ve seen says that yan mo is in a relationship with someone else when he gets back to china. no he is not. i say this because it was a huge turn off for me/initially put me off watching the series. he is definitely a one-and-only type. there’s no cheating in this show. lmao, hell, neither of the mains are even interested in anyone else but each other

i liked du chuan and his love interest a lot, but they definitely didn’t get as much screen time as the others

while it’s clear qiao yi + yan mo are the mains, another couple gets a lot of screen time as well. this might be a skip if you don’t like multiple couples/secondary relationships in a show

i surprisingly enjoyed the high school storyline a lot more than the adult one? which is super weird for me, but idk i was sad when it was over because it was so cute.

some...weird technical decisions. every once in a while, the camera will have like a nostalgia filter and then it disappears and then the edges get a bit blurry and idk it feels very film school 101 to show that what’s on screen is a ~memory. the soundtrack/music is sometimes also too loud--to the point where it can drown out the actors (particularly janice wu in the high school arc, since qiao yi is soft-spoken)

REASONS TO WATCH

the lead actors (janice wu + zhang yujian) are legit two of my favorites and they have great/easy chemistry. all the actors are amazing. everyone’s loveable

SIBLING GOALS the zhao twins are amazing and they’re both each other’s biggest fans. gaunchao had some really heartwarming brother moments

i love love lmao. this spoke to a lot of my favorite dynamics: exes reunited/having to work together, childhood sweethearts reuniting as adults, “gangster” and princess, childhood friends turned lovers, bickering couples, cold man who actually has a lot of feelings, lots of people being overprotective, idk. everything was just great. 0 complaints on any of the ships.

i genuinely liked every character other than that one piece of shit poppa zhao. even alicia, who’s put into the stereotypical rich bitch role, was actually really fun and subverted a lot of expectations for this trope

it’s just. real cute y’all. probably my favorite cdrama and definitely in my top 10 (maybe 5?) dramas overall.

FINAL THOUGHTS

i love them ;;

[helblazer]

ALINA ALVAREZ

created using @ummmmandy’s picrew!! sorry the collage cut the watermark out hsbdbdhdh i am not, however, sorry for the amount of outfits i made its so much fun.

stats: al, ali - she/her pronouns - panromantic asexual - 5’2’’ & 121 lbs - born june 12th, 1987* (cancer) - slytherpuff - warlock - the sun - enfj - 6 - sanguine-choleric - neutral good.

short backstory under the cut.

alina is the daughter of kamala maharaj (who was a researcher at m.i.) a british indian woman whos classified as a thrill-seeking genius. i affectionately think of her as the mad scientist type.

& her father is luis alvarez, an latin american paranormal investigator, like a real one, not one that does web shows and all that. he’s puerto rican and able to talk to ghosts. his entire family has some kind of psychic ability.

alina has the ability called psychometry where she can learn things about and item or person through touch.

luis is modeled after my irl mom, who’s puerto rican & a medium.

luis goes to the UK looking for a juergen leitner book (though he doesn’t know that that’s what it’s called) the book is affiliated with the dark; luis has a page from it and is searching for the rest. he meets kamala when he interviews her. they hit it off instantly and get married after less than a year of knowing each other.

when luis and kamala died, alina was raised by her godfather joel reid who made a statement at the magnus institute when alina went missing.

joel reid was in the relationship with kamala and luis, he was childhood friends with kamala stating that he was probably the only one who could put up with her eccentric personality until luis came along, though luis’ personality wasn’t much better.

he owned a bar and often let alina, jon, and georgie hang out there during their free time.

joel later becomes affiliated with the hunt.

alina and jon meet in college at oxford, alina grew extremely attached to him and kinda forced herself into his life, though he never complained about it.

the two end up moving together, becoming roommates

joel mentions in his statement that alina was always a weird child; knowing and understanding things a child shouldn’t know and understand.

for example when her mother died, alina wasn’t upset but instead strangely disappointed like she knew it would happen.

alina confesses later that she once tried to get her mother to quit working at the magnus institute, that working there would lead to her death. though, kamala couldn’t quit no matter how hard she tried.

alina was once brought into the m.i. with her mother, which causes the Eye to set its sights on her (pun fucking intended). alina refused to go back with her mother since then.

when jon expresses interest in joining the magnus institute it leads to a lot of tense conversations between alina and jon.

alina doesn’t want jon working there since she knows the truth about that place, but she couldn’t exactly explain to jon about the Entities since she knows he wouldn’t believe her without proof

she tried to subtly ward him off the magnus institute but when that doesn’t work she gradually becomes more forceful which leads to A lot of fights between jon and her; it’s one fo the only things they’ve ever fought about it

the last fight they had was extremely bad, which causes alina storm out of the house without any of her belongings & stay with joel for a few days.

while alina stays with joel, she never leaves her room. in joel’s statement he mentions a lot of strange things happening during that time like the lights going out for hours at a time and the shadows of strange figures he’d see at the corner of his eye

the last day joel saw alina is when she said yes to the Dark.

she disappeared for six years after that. when joel made a report they classified it as her missing a year later she was declared dead.

jon blamed himself for her disappearance.

the Dark has always been around alina, watching and waiting for her. she never planned on saying yes, since she knew what it was, but she needed a way to protect jon from the horrors of the magnus institute and becoming an avatar of the dark seemed to be the only solution

alina returns six years after she disappears, right after jane prentiss attacks the archives

she’s asleep, right outside her and jon’s apartment.

her and jon talk a lot that night and she moves back in with him (though all of her stuff was still there, jon didn’t move or touch anything, like he was waiting for her to come back)

she practically forces elias to give her a job at the archives, he accepts because the Eye wants her there and alina becomes jon’s assistant though she doesn’t leave his side.

alina as never been a good person and being trapped in the Dark for 6 years doesn’t help that. 

she comes back the same; happy, outgoing and charismatic. the complete opposite of jon; but she’s willing to do anything to make sure jon is happy and healthy and safe. she’s extremely loyal and overprotective of him.

she later grows fond of tim and martin and tries to protect them too. 

i ship alina with jon (romantically) & martin (platonically) tbh; i think about this ot3 A LOt jdbdbdjdj they’re in a poly relationship but alina and martin are friends since i hc martin being gay and only romantically interested in martin. though alina and martin do end up loving each other as family.

My muse’s opinion of your muse

W - Which muse —

This is cheating, but! I’ll chose

LysxDaria. Of course, my sport girl thinks highly of this strange classmate she mistook for a ghost and not in a hundred years would have seen him dating a girl like her. If there’s something she’s grateful that has happened in her life that seemed to go into a dark path—that has to be MEETING Lysander.

She thinks he’s someone reliable, dependable, charismatic, charming—trillions of positive things.

ZenxIg. Zen is simply in love with every gesture Ignis makes, with every single time she presses the tip of her pencil to trace a figure, a sketch, a finished drawing. He’s simply mesmerized and breathless whenever he thinks about her or sees her.

Zen is in love with Ignis and truly sees her as his soulmate.

Oz&Vicky. Even though they have a long road ahead, Oz is quite fond of this weird monster girl he befriended and doesn’t mind being dragged against his will, at this rate he only pretends to be pissed for the sake of it but he truly enjoys spending time with her and doing shenanigans together.

But, on the other hand, Oz also has a crush on this franken girl and will never bring it up. Content with their friendship.

Yenien&Clara. Where would Yenien begin with this? He basically adopted this human girl and has tried, believe him he has, to give her everything she wanted. The incubus, regardless of how unstable his shape used to be, wanted to be saved and to save someone too.

Clara is someone Yenien wouldn’t hesitate to die for once more, it’s his very own child. He saw her grow up from a scared yet brave kid to a strong and powerful woman, he’s a proud parent even though he’s seen as a brother.

My opinion of your muse

I literally love every muse you write, even those I don’t even interact with. I love how you bring life to each one of these individuals and do your best, write their stories, their own paths, decisions, headcanons—just everything because it’s so well-thought and meaningful.

I am not sure whether I have a favorite, there are too many to chose.

I also ADORE when you get carried away rambling about one specific muse, and even though sometimes I don’t understand, I keep asking questions and becoming invested too. Way too invested sometimes (coughmeaddingjackfrostsooncoUGH).

But I chose these because: the way your portray Lysander is so soft and caring, tender and gentleman like. There are many traits that resamble canon, but so many that make him utterly unique and even more fascinating.

Ignis has to be one of those characters I hold dear and close to my heart because she was one of the first oc of yours I met, I remember how many shenanigans we had back at dA. Drawings of her I have made and how much I have improved and how different she looks with each passing year.

I like Vicky and how problematic you have made her albeit we need more interactions but you tell me headcanons and scenarios that it feels as if I have known her for my whole life.

Clara is also one that I hold dear because of how much of a strong connection she has with Yenien. We had these two ocs that had no one, and from one day to another, they became family. He taught how to dance what she loves the most, she helped him with finding his own happiness with Janisse. There’s such sweetness between them.

My favorite part about our muse’s interactions

T - This is hard, uh, well I love their dynamics, truth be told.

I find interesting how Daria struggles with her mental health and tries to open up more to Lysander, I like how she is trying for once not to do something that might affect everyone, I like how she becomes stubborn and childish around him because honestly Daria only behaved that way towards Daniel since she was an emotionless girl in the past.

I admire how Zen after finding one person who comprehends him so perfectly finds hope in not giving up, finds a strength he didn’t know he had. I find worth to follow how he doesn’t give up on his dreams and how much he craves for this future with her against all odds, he keeps fighting for it.

I like how goofy and childish Oz can be around Vicky because the way I see him, is someone usually calm and composed. Not giving too many facts about himself away, just general questions about what type of monster he is or if he has done his homework.

I love how Yenien insists on being her father and Clara brushing it off as brother, I love seeing them behaving like a single father and his child. I love how overprotective he can become without cutting her freedom, I love how childish he was when Clara fell for Cedric but still chose to help them both because that’s how much he wants for Clara to be happy.

A wish/plot I want to write for our muses

LysxDaria. Alright, hear me out. We talked and joked about Daria giving up her own dreams to join an orchestra to live with Lysander in the farm, but I honestly cannot get it out of my head.

So I legit want a thread of them being extremely domestic in the farm.

ZenxIg. A ROYALTY AU THO—Zen is the perfect unhappy prince with an abusive family that only wants power, he’d be CINDERELLA HERE. ALRIGHT. HE’D BE CINDERELLA. For he falls in love with Ignis in one night.

Oz&Vicky. TBH, I keep joking about Oz and his crush on Vicky but I want a thread where Vicky has a crush on ANY other monster and stops spending time with him as much as before, which leads Oz to think ‘oh so this wasn’t just a crush, I am legit in love with her’ yet he still doesn’t make any attempt and helps her with her lovelife.

Therefore, ending heartbroken,  devasted and crying somewhere outside the campus.

Yenien&Clara. I…want Yenien taking Clara to the city he was born into before unexpectedly ending somewhere across the ocean, the place he crossed paths with Clara and chose to help her.

I want Yenien to speak fondly about his past, about every street and corner and how much everything has changed. I want Yenien to break down crying when he can spot the alley he lived and collapsed on, died ever so slowly.

I want him to show weakness, not always this puppy personality of his. I want him to show how he was BEFORE dying and turning into an incubus, you know.

A way your muse has made mine better.

b o i

LysxDaria. For once, Daria has a will to live.

She sees a future with Lysander after highschool since he light up her world, he pulled her out of her darkness with every caring gesture. From their wonderful friendship to their undying love towards one another.

He is helping Daria become a better person, because she is inspired by him and wants to become someone better and worthy of being his companion since he doesn’t want Lysander to be with someone who struggles with so much.

She is also learning to speak rather than running away from her troubles which can cause her to behave recklessly, he can read her with such ease and has the hability to say just the right words she needed to hear to be encouraged.

ZenxIg. This ship speaks for itself.

Zen needed someone like Ignis on his life, someone to rely on, someone to tell his hopes and dreams. He didn’t need someone to fix his life for him, he didn’t want someone to magically fix his problems.

Zen needed someone to tell him ‘hey, you can do it. I’ll be with you no matter what’ and that’s exactly what Ignis made him see. Ignis changed him so much to the point he even started to properly take care of himself, because he has a bit of time to spare and make proper meals rather than eat something bought or bread.

Zen wanted someone to love him for who he is, to see something beyond a pretty face. To see a human with his own traumas and fears, struggling with a facade to not araise questions.

Oz&Vicky. Well, Oz pre-meeting the four was a quiet individual who didn’t want to interact with others unless necessary. It was less problematic not to get involved with anyone. But then he met everyone, and then he became close to so different individuals and closer than anyone else to Vicky that he started to develop a personality of his own. To experiment and toy with this concept of free will he chose to ignore for so long.

Yenien&Clara. He used to be, such a lost soul in a modern world. 

He had been dead for so long, and was supposed to remain that way until he suddenly was brought back. And he was as scared as he was confused.

But then he saw this little girl, struggling to live and survive much like he had been. Except this was a little girl, he used to had a family until they died. So, in a way, he did have it better and had a need to protect her. While also, taking care of himself.

Because Yenien never saw his life as worthy, but for this one time, he did. He saw that he needed to be alive to help this little girl survive—eventually, Yenien started to become a better person with her help, to learn about humans, about how much has changed, about dancing to teach her. 

To learn to live and move on from his past.

[icharchivist]

still, for all that is about DA that is kind of just “I play it like that because that’s how i feel”, and the fact my characters all have a rather Neutral Good moral compass, I still love that I can really feel the difference between my characters?

Long OCs ramble bc I can wouhouh!

Kurai, my very first Warden, a Dalish Elf, was probably the character I thought the least about because she was my very first character and I was suuper confused by the story. But still, she was a good person. She had a huge sense of honor, and she was respectful until people weren’t with her, in which case she would end them. She was a warrior, she was upfront. She was kind and compassionate, but she was also probably my most moral character. Since she was saved by the Wardens, she has great respect for their order, knowing she could have died. So to her, fighting for the greater good is an honor. While realizing how much work is ahead, she stood proud and wasn’t afraid. She had to do it. That’s probably why her and Alistair ended up being an item, they work out of each other there.

Laven, my second Warden, a City Elf, was much more cynical. She was bitter, she knew the world wasn’t fair. She wanted to do good, but if she had to get her hands dirty, she would. She would fight for the underdogs, and she would insult those she deemed unworthy. She was a free electron in her own way (which in a way is why it doesn’t bother me in dai that she did leave alone with Zevran to find a way against the Calling without warning anyone, seems like her). Also, ye, her romance with Zevran just fits her so much, since the ending of Awakening having her running away with Zevran in Antiva to fight the Crows by his sides is 100% her. And in the end, she mostly did everything because she was dragged into it for the worst way possible and there was no way she stood by when the world was falling apart. She would fight with her frustration and anger, but wasn’t scared. Too bitter for that.

The best parallelism between Kurai and Laven is how they both handled meeting the King and arriving to the Landsmeet. While Kurai didn’t like Shems, she knew she was out of her elements meeting the King, so she was respectful, knowing she was living by others people’s rules. In the Landsmeet, despite her dislike for Loghain, she stayed contained and calm knowing the stakes. Laven, however, insulted the King the first time she saw him because she was angry at how everything was in Denerim, and she was bitter. She’s been taken away because she brought justice, she won’t be any nice now. The fact the King showed regrets touched her in a way, but she was still angry. And in the Landsmeet, she made all the aggressive comments possible against Loghain and Howe, because her blood was boiling, and damn the consequences. She has come this far, it won’t be for Shems to take it away from her.

In a way Laven is probably my most ruthless character - and despite that she still was quite kind and nice. I still did every morally good things I could. But i also picked up all the stealing and stuff quest because that’s how much she didn’t care. She became the Dark Wolf too, which is neat.

Alma, my Hawke, was a Green/Diplomatic/Helpful Rogue, and she was just. Trying so hard. My reasoning was always that, she was always there for her family. She was overprotective, she took all the burden she could. She would get aggressive if you threatened her family. She’d get charismatic in order to distract people from her world falling apart, or to distract them from her sister. So she was cracking jokes from time to time, she was easy going, but always full of duty. She ended up being extremely involved in mage’s rights because she would have done everything for her sister. Once she was taken by the circle, this became even a stronger feeling.  So it did lead her to get close to Anders more easily because she felt strongly about his plight. And why the ending of the game hurt her this much, because it wasn’t the way. She was respectful and kind, sometimes snarky, aggressive if you hurt what she loved, she was taking the burden of the world on her shoulders, and ended up being defeated by it. In a way, Alma was positive. she knew from the begining she was in a corner, and tried to fight her way out of it with a smile on her face, and the world did everything to have her crumble until she couldn’t take it anymore. She’s by far the most tragic one.

And finally Laena, my Inquisitor - She was anxious from the start. None of it was ever meant to happen. It’s not like she liked the Circle, but she had a place and a very small world to take care of until the rebellion. Hell, the fact the Circle was such a small world isolated her, she was in no way ready to deal with the Whole World, she wasn’t meant to. Her survival at the Conclave is a miracle, and immediatly after that, she was asked to stand and fight. She realized she had no choice pretty quickly, but she was devasted from the start. A survivor’s complex in a way, she was the only one who made it out - and people would say it was because she was chosen and it freaked her out. She wasn’t worth choosing. She didn’t want to be chosen. The revelation that all was just dumb luck is even worse, because she doesn’t consider herself special, she didn’t walk this path willingly, nothing prepared her for that. And now so many people lay her hope on her, and it scares her. She has to act strong, to help everyone, people are expecting so much of her, and she knows she can’t show weakness. But she was completely unprepared for this mess, and even now that all is over - especially now that all is over - she is completely lost. Where to go now, how to make it all work? This is frightening. And she has to stay collected, to give people’s hope, but at what cost? But she will always feel like it’s not her place, like she cannot judge, that she wasn’t made for this. And, that’s why I could see her fall for Cullen too. As an advisor he was always giving her advice, always helping her doing so. She could let her guard down around him, she could tell him how she only felt terrified, and he would reassure her. He brought her reassurance and stability, and she knew he wasn’t expecting of her to do everything on her own. He brought her the comfort she needed. His own fears of not being strong enough, of fucking up again, of letting people down, resonated with her and they could help each other out. It brought comfort.

I played all of my characters to be rather nice, pick good choices, fighting for those who needed it. And tbh I was kinda scared that maybe it made them all too similar but I end up thinking about it, and no. They are all so different.

Kurai was proud and strong, and even if slightly scared at time, she stood tall and her bravery took over everything. She knew she had to do what she had to do and she did it.

Laven was bitter and furious at life. She did what she had to because there was no way she was going to show defeat. She wasn’t scared, she was angry, and if her life hadn’t defeated her until then, it’s not an archdemon who will.

Alma was optimistic, sweet and kind, funny and gentle, but the world around her did everything to break her. To make her unable to carry it on. Alma ended her journey sad, and left alone. Also in my timeline I had her kill Anders, her lover, so it’s like, kind of horrifying for her too. Everyone and Everything pushed her world to fall apart, and the whole World blamed her for it. She went from optimistic to defeated, sad, heavy, wondering if it even mattered, if how much she sacrificed was even worth it.

Laena was anxious from the start - scared. She was unsure and still is unsure. Nothing reassured her, everything just added weight on her shoulders, weight she was never meant to carry, something she knows happened just because of her compassion and dumb luck. So now she’s trying to hold it all together because that’s what people need of her - and she realizes that the world needs her, even if she doesn’t know how. More than all the others, she relies on the people around her. She tries to stand tall, but unlike Alma who did it to convince herself it’ll be okay, she does it solly for people’s around her.

And I really like that, despite their similitudes, I feel so strongly for each of them. I am proud of each of them so much.

I was also kinda scared I self projected on them in a way, since it always end up happening creating ocs, but their differences make up for what I think. It’s kinda funny dkjhdjfk I see a bit of myself in all of them. Kurai’s gentleness, Laven’s frustration, Alma’s trying to handle the world crashing down with a smile while she’s herself crumbling, and Laena’s anxiety and urge to carry on when she never asked for it, despair contained by her duty to others. I love them all.

Paladins with a s/o who is normally the type to prefer the background and struggles with daily tasks. They would be the last person you would expect to be the best in dangerous situations. But if a dangerous situation happens they turn into a different person,in away, where they can deal with any terrible situation calmly, just knows what to do for any situation and confidently. It is just natural to them. Someone injured: Done. Battle: Done. Problem solving: Done

I wasn't entirelysure if I understood the request right, but this is what I thought itwas?? if this isn't what you wanted, please don't hesitate to correctme! Enjoy!

  Shiro:

 -hewould have to take a minute.

 -he had always thought you were the type of stay outofdangerous situations. so whenever he sees you completely throwingyourself into one with the calmest of expressions, he is a littletaken aback.

 -obviously, he tries to stop you at first. that was what he had beendoing since you two started going out – trying to keep you awayfrom danger, since he believed that you couldn't deal with this kindof stuff well enough to do it on your own.

 - but whenever he realises he can't, he watches you instead.

  -and what he sees has him completely shocked.

- because you're doing everything so casually.like,you're barely looking up as you slash through these Galra soldiers.

 - whenever you finally submerge out of the sea of Galra, he genuinelylooks at you with the most shocked expression.

 - “sorry, but when did you learn how to do that?”

   Keith:

 - likeShiro, he wouldn't know what to do.

  -but I can also imagine Keith being a little bit angry??

 - he's obviously shocked at watching you suddenly break out from yourintroverted shell to go and save the damn day, but he clearly toldyou to stay behind him.

 - and he knows he's being overprotective. he contemplates even gettingmad because you did the job so clean and calm. but then he sees thata Galra scratched you (it's only little, but he's protective) and hejust loses his shit all over again.

 - you come out of the battle and he immediately grabs you, checkingyou for injuries and stuff like that.

 - and whenever he sees the scratch, he just looks at you and shakeshis head, teeth gritted.

 - like, he doesn't even care that you just totally wiped out the armythat had been annoying the hell out of them all. he sees this onelittle scratch and suddenly he's a doctor or something.

   Lance:

 -healways suspected there was something beneath the surface tbh.

 - but still, whenever you actually show just how casually and easilyyou can do dangerous stuff, he's extremely excited about it.

  -he's the kid in the corner who's calling your name, completelycheering you on as you do so.

  -“yes, Y/N! Get it! aye!”

 - everybody else is panicking because you just threw yourself into theGalran army, but Lance is all laid back because he knew you were goodat this kind of stuff, no matter how good you were at hiding it.

  -“yes. that is my S/O.”

  -whenever you finally get out of the massacre, he's the first one togreet you with a massive hug and kiss, before gently leading you tobed because you're exhausted.

   Hunk:

 - hewould get so flustered and quite honestly not know what to do.

  -you were his sweet, innocent, introverted little baby. where the fuckdid you get these gladiator skills from??

 - and how wereyou so calm about it???

 - he'd obviously try and stop you before you could do anything, but hewouldn't be able to. you'd stampede right past him before brutallyshowing off just how much training you had done in the past.

 - and he'd just stare at you, jaw open and eyes wide.

 - he wouldn't even realise that he was jumping from foot to footbecause of his anxiousness.

 -you'd come out of the massacre and collapse in his arms, exhaustedand he'd just be like “Excuse me but what the fuck.”

   Pidge:

 - she'snever been one to stop you from doing what you want to do. if youwant to help out with the computers, you can help out with thecomputers. if you want to fly the green lion for a little while, youcan fly the green lion.

 - but she's never been a big fan of you throwing yourself into danger– she's never hadtobe, since you very rarely ever did it.

 - so whenever she and the other Paladin's are in battle, and all of asudden she hears you groan due to impatience, before storming pasther and throwing yourself into the line of fire, she's completelytaken aback and panicked.

 -she's not usually panicked now. she's a calm little mochi, butwhenever she sees you doing such a thing, she's immediately jumpingup and screaming for you to come back, terrified out of her wits.

 - but then you're walking out of the Galra ship with the thing theyneed in your hand, looking so casual and tired.

 - she hops out of the green lion, nearly falling in the mud as shetries to reach you, and once she does she immediately takes theobject, throws it to the floor and begins to inspect your body forinjuries.

-  all while scolding you like some three year old.
