โœ๏ธ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ‘ฏ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธโค๏ธโ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ’˜๐Ÿ’Œ for you and hermes!
YELLS AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS HIM!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
โœ๏ธ: overall, how does the fandom trait you? are you a beloved character, or hated? are you popular, or a minor side character? anything in between?
by nature of my insert being a part of the hermes familia, she's relegated to being a side character by default, unfortunately. that said, she has her moments where she's relevant and shows up fairly often (with or without hermes), so i like to think she'd have at least some number of fans. definitely a niche fave, though, to be sure.
generally, i think the fandom's opinion of her would be neutral or skewing slightly positive, though there's also... moments... i can imagine would turn some people off from her. the further on in the story you go, the more divisive i think she'd become.
๐Ÿคช: what is your trait that fanon would exaggerate?
god. definitely how tsundere she is. it'd be played up and also beaten into the ground at the same time.
๐Ÿ‘ฏ: what canon character are you most similar to?
fans would probably describe my insert as an unholy combination of lili and bete โ€” meaning she's small and cute and is more than capable of being underhanded and sneaky, but also that she's extremely hotheaded and the loner type that doesn't play nice with others. the emotional constipation is also through the roof with her lmfao.
there are far deeper comparisons between myself and those two, though โ€” the desperation to get out of a situation you're trapped in; the overwhelming need to be strong enough to not have to rely on others โ€” but that's an essay for another day.
๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ: would you be accompanied by mostly fluff or angst fanfics? both? explain why.
i think it'd be a combination of both, but that the number of angst fics would really increase as the story progresses and it becomes more apparent that hermes is... sort of an antagonist. ๐Ÿ’€ lots of fics of my insert reflecting on what he's doing (oftentimes to people she cares about) and the fact that she's complacent in a lot of his plans, if not outright aiding in them. fics where she wonders if her devotion has become obligation and if she even wants to be following him anymore. that kind of thing. not to mention the whole immortal god x mortal that will eventually die thing, too.
there'd be plenty of fluff to offset it, though! ๐Ÿ˜ค plenty of fics of him returning home to my insert, my insert going with him when he travels, and tons where the plot is literally just "Hermes Flusters Koda Beyond Repair Part 14857" lmao
โค๏ธ: how popular is you x your f/o? are you a rarepair?
we're a rarepair only in the sense that the hermes familia isn't a huge focal point, so our on-screen scenes are fairly limited and most of our relationship is kept to the background. but of the people who have huge brains and do care about him / the familia / my insert, we're a huge otp. canon, even. ๐Ÿ˜ค
โ˜•๏ธ: what are the most common plots of shipping fics between you and your f/o?
i feel like lots of them would have to do with traveling โ€” whether it be him leaving, him returning, or the odd one where my insert goes with him wherever he disappears off to. another common one would be ones that involve him breaking down my insert's walls, whether that be by way of flustering her until she threatens to kill him snaps or through rare, genuine moments between the two of them.
also plenty of ones where they just scheme together โ€” fics that make it very clear why insert fits together so well with the infamously cunning and underhanded god of thieves and wit.
๐Ÿ’˜: why would people love your ship? why would people dislike your ship? wow might it start debates?
haha. oh boy.
i think the devotion aspect of our relationship โ€” mostly on the end of my insert โ€” would be the reason people would either really love or really hate us together. on the positive side, it's similar to the royal x devoted knight trope in the sense that, regardless of how low hermes stoops or what moderately to genuinely awful things he does, she still faithfully stays by his side, even if she personally disagrees with him or his methods because she loves him and he loves her back.
on the flip side, i can see a lot of people either misconstruing her as blindly following him or, less egregiously but still incorrectly, assuming that she stays with him because she cosigns everything he does. there's also the matter of my insert's backstory and the context in which she and hermes met and, by extension, ended up joining his familia which would probably lead to a number of people believing that she's only still with him out of obligation and that her feelings aren't real (or, if not that, then that they're not healthy). that last one would definitely be a point of contention between the people that ship us and the ones that don't.
๐Ÿ’Œ: how would your dynamic be portrayed? what might people focus on most? any misconceptions?
i mean, the obvious one is god x faithful follower, but that's nowhere near the true depth of it. i think that would undercut a lot of other dynamics we fall into that people would focus on, though โ€” that, alongside the tsundere x one who gets off on teasing them thing we have going on. those would be the main ones, i think.
not necessarily a dynamic thing, but people would definitely make the misconception that my insert just enables everything he does and never questions or disagrees with him, which is just. blatantly false. ๐Ÿ’€
