#they are SUCH a fun brotp my goodness… these silly silly bois have a good deal in

[ultward]

Okay, I gotta ask about your fic version of vampirism. What are major changes between your depiction and canon? what stayed the same? and what fun things did you add for pure self-indulgence and just cause you could.

What about the physical changes from Human to vampire? How do gifts work? (Idk if your vampires have gifts or not).

HOO BOY ALRIGHT LET'S DIG INTO THIS

most notably, vampires can consume a wide variety of beverages, including alcohol. i think i got into the "biology" of this in the fic itself, but basically their bodies just absorb liquids the same way they do blood, it's silly vampire magic, it doesn't matter

all of stephenie's stupid and racist skin bleaching stuff is gone, and they get to keep their freckles/tattoos/etc

in canon i think vamps can only get scarred from vamp bites? but i expanded that a little to include claw marks from other vamps + scars from werewolves (of both the shifter and lycanthrope variety, since my version of caius is covered in werewolf scars)

most of the stuff about how vampires work in general is the same as canon! they're nigh invincible crystalline monsters who sparkle and shimmer in the sun and crack like statues when they get hurt, and you can only kill them by tearing them apart and setting them on fire

HOWEVER my vampires are MUCH more monstrous than in canon. i think twilight vamps have the ability to be quite scary if they want, but in my fic i really wanted to play up the idea of them being mythical apex predators. as such, they have a sort of "aura" about them that the cullens are always actively repressing. it allows them to be both incredibly alluring but also unsettling, causing a "terrified but drawn in" effect in most humans - it's a red flag, but also a lure. bella is completely immune to it, which would be a terrible thing for her if she was in any other situation

following that up, vampires who let themselves stay in this "natural" state can tend to be a lot more animalistic, which is definitely something present in canon but i wanted to amp it up a little more. the vampires are very much inhuman and monstrous, and the cullens are putting in work every day to not appear that way

i've also given vampires a much more intense "soulmate connection" that's pretty much exactly the same as canon imprinting. this is just because i wanted my fic to be a twist on the typical soulmate trope where the concept of "love at first sight" is kind of terrifying and inconvenient! i really just played up hints of things that were already in canon, like the fact that denying the bond is... unpleasant for both parties

at the same time, i also wanted to emphasize platonic and familial relationships, so i included the idea that vampires can have more than one "soulmate" and will often have very strong non-romantic bonds with others (though these are less apparent to them at first). this is why the cullens are drawn to be a family, but also why bella and edward are such good friends! they're literally platonic soulmate besties. i love a brotp

i think another related thing i hinted at somewhere is that if a vampire has a human soulmate, that human will slowly begin to gain some vampiric traits (slow aging, increased strength, etc) no matter whether they're bitten or not. bonds are incredibly powerful things in my au, and they're capable of enacting physical change - albeit very slowly

there's also the idea of vampire science and experimentation, of course. most of it has to do with testing out the effects of venom on various types of beings in different states. this is how i wound up with things like ghouls, who are essentially just much weaker, feral vampires (almost like zombies). they, in turn, spread through a different kind of bite-induced infection that causes a rot, which is how bella ends up in her strange state of slow-turning undeath after she gets bitten by a ghoul and rosalie

turning and gifts are pretty much the same! the change takes 3 days under normal circumstances and it's super painful. gifts are accentuated traits from your human life (or amped up versions of proto-gifts, as in alice's case)

i think the last big difference is the idea that vampires are capable of growth and change (not physically, but mentally). if you read the fic, the characters will often talk about how they're incapable of changing due to their nature, but their actions throughout the story definitely contradict this! the vampires aren't perfect and they have issues they have to work through, and they sometimes use their nature as an excuse not to work on themselves - but they're absolutely capable of change

the tl;dr here is mostly that i wanted vampires to be able to drink, i wanted them to be a lot more monstrous, and i wanted there to be a little more mysterious magic at play! i think that the canon twilight vampires are pretty cool, but i also think that stephenie went to weird lengths to explain everything about them, and sometimes it's better to just be like "it's magic lol".

also you didn't ask but my werewolves are different as well! i've never found a good way to actually drop this in the fic yet, but the shapeshifter-type wolves are NOT a phenomenon exclusive to the quileute tribe. there are a bunch of other packs around the world! it's still a genetic thing that gets passed down through families, but it's widespread because in my lore it originated from twilight's other elusive werewolves, the children of the moon. essentially, it's a defense mechanism that evolved in some lycanthropes over time since it was beneficial for humans to be able to protect themselves against vampires. maybe some day i'll figure out how to write that into the fic itself lmao

[oldfritz]

for character ask meme: without any guns, what about Karl? The narrative haunter? Hes so special.

oh karl. i'm sorry for what i've done to you posthumously. but think of it like those mushrooms that take over dead bodies or zombie cicadas! ...ah perhaps i should shut up now

favorite thing about them: the inherent tragedy of being so fucking old, truly an ancient being, and yet you're stuck in a child's body. the state you represent is strange. stronger when the sum of its parts are combined, but you yourself lack that imposing might. a mind so beautiful and active and yet it lacks the body to match. i...i get that

least favorite thing about them: i need a sitdown chat with the minds at funimation for why they decided the poor little german boy has to talk like 'it's-a me! karl-io!'

favorite line: i don't think i have one. is it him or young germany in the brothers grimm strips? i liked those. he was cute in them, pathetic, clearly dying

brOTP: per, i'm with you. i don't think this guy has ever had friends. true friends, people who don't want anything from him or see him as an avenue for their ambitions (whether by his/its destruction or through that nonsense that medieval austrians pulled)

OTP: i think by default it's feli but yeah also with you. it's never made much sense to me besides 'omg gerita star-crossed lovers twin flames my babies will find each other in every life.' which has never compelled me. but i like it well enough when i'm slogging through chibitalia sections again

nOTP: fuck, the guys only got one ship. should i make some up? yeah i really fucking hate the sickos that ship karl with matthew. see them all the time on this site and ao3. there, an answer!

random headcanon: i wrote this in my head but neglected to touch the keyboard. classic mistake. anways, i just imagine he's lonely. almost unbearably so. who can understand him? who has his burdens, his struggles, his pains? a holy child bogged down with the sins of this earth. poor guy needs a friend :(

unpopular headcanon: that him being the vessel for ludwig's soul or whatever is not a good thing. it's not sweet or anything. it's grim, man. it's fucking grim. and it's something i hope hima never canonizes. for this kind of stuff, i think our theories and speculation are better/more fun than what hima can come up with (and, to be fair to the man, i wouldn't be surprised if he knows that too)

song I associate with them: young lion by vampire weekend. it's a haunting song, one that's always made me think of death. only lyrics are 'you took your time, young lion' and it's just....yeah. yeah he did

favorite picture of them: again, the real answer is fanart. take something silly instead (because i gotta go marinate some lamb and can't devote myself to hetarchives time)

[pencilofawesomeness]

Hello!

*Taps fingers together* I come to bug you regarding the Secret Santa exchange!

I saw your character prompts and decided to try and mix all three. I wanted to ask if there was any Laxus + Cobra brotp, or Cobra + Thunder Legion friendship headcanons you'd want to see added?

If not headcanons, then anything in particularly you would like to see regarding the five of them?

Hahahah hello there, mystery person~

Oooo you bring to the table a tantalizingly interesting prospect. I do have waaaaaay too many thoughts, and many of them are admittedly steeped in my own AU because I accidentally sold my soul to it (as authors do) so by all means, do not feel encumbered by my thoughts/ideas. Treat them as a buffet to pick and choose and take inspo from, because unfortunately you just gave me license to ramble :D

(and this is going to be rambley; too tired to make this cohesive beyond bullet points)

(I love these idiots very much)

—Laxus and Erik brotp is so real to me, fam. It's the "hey we got a lacrima bestowed upon us, whoo" bonding, for one, but beyond that, the sort of....quiet mutual understanding of what it is like to have a "father" figure who is just treating them like a weapon, making them *stronger*, with a faux sort of affection. Beyond the trauma, though, they are both deadpan assholes and I love that for them. If Erik (and this is the htryds coloring) spends a good deal of time having the braincell, then with Laxus he can channel the little-shit-little-brother energy and bully him a bit, and Laxus can be grouchy back and know that Erik can parse through the emotions and figure out what's genuine or not without him figuring out how to put in the effort.

—Also, depending on the setting, they both have the tendency to pull the ~too good for you~ bad boy vibes as a defense mechanism, which makes it utterly unusable on each other, which is fun. Mostly, though, Laxus and Erik have the ability to enjoy a mutual quietness, so to speak; not trying to prove anything, but just leaning back and being normal young adults (with a little salt on the side) and doing whatever. That said, Erik is a bit too much of a dark mirror of how things could have been worse for Laxus, if Ivan was more involved, and this leads to Laxus winning the "big brother instinct" award of the two, which is an experience Erik is not used to but....does not necessarily hate.

—This is a fun headcanon that I haven't had the chance to incorporate into my series yet, but they have fun little music debates. Laxus got Erik into the magic of using music to calm the overstimulation, but they have wildly different tastes. Laxus loves rock and roll and metal, and Erik turned to liking types of bluegrass and straight up classical music. They meet in the middle at alt-rock. They are both always trying to win each other over on certain songs or genres. It works surprisingly often but it's part of the fun to swear undying rivalry to the other's favorite.

—For more Cobra-specific vibes (aka the canon edgemaster), I can see them being a bit more competitive with each other. Which quickly doesn't work when they have completely different specialties, but an effort is made.

—Also something I haven't had the chance to capitalize on outside of the scenarios in my head, but Bickslow and Erik definitely have a fun "we perceive you but we don't care" vibe that I love. Your secrets are obvious but not their business. Sometimes they people watch together for the fun of it, because all of the thoughts they *do* have regarding the things they know have got to go somewhere.

—Evergreen, being the queen of gossip, really really wants in on this. They tease her for it though, and purposely dangle that tea on a string. (Though sometimes Ever *does* get in on it, mostly when it comes to roasting anyone who was particularly rude or annoying, or the silly speculation at the expense of friends, like figuring out what job Nab will eventually go on or what animal Bisca will adopt next.)

—On this same note, Bickslow and Evergreen both have insufferable little sibling energy amongst the Thunder Legion squad, nevermind that Bickslow is the second oldest. Mostly it's just really fun to tease the more serious ones.

—Though Ever and Bickslow are also the most keenly aware of what it is like to be feared. Truly feared. Having eye magic that isn't quite controllable (as a kid, especially) will grant that experience. It is their unspoken agreement never ever to speak of this, of course.

—On an individual note, it is worth it now to bring up that I am an avid fan (read: it's canon to me and sometimes I forget it's not real canon) of the theory that Bickslow was one of the kids experimented on by the Bureau of Magical Development. He's got that unhinged flavor that comes from straight-up trauma, and it does add more context to his otherwise creepy magic. I also hc that the babies are all deceased test subjects, and that is why they have stuck with him all this time. (I am very passionate about the babies as characters, unfortunately, and my little mini series I'm doing for them on tumblr is proof. I am soooo normal.)

—Another theory I love, and that I have somewhat brandished into my own spin, is that Freed is half demon. He sees this as an awful thing, raised by his human parent (mother, in my case), without any real context for demon culture other than the fear of it, so that's why he's super edgy and has locked all of his demon traits away into a single form he swear never to uses unless things are ~Dire~ or whatnot. It's really not that bad though lol.

—The fact that Erik will Know Freed's secrets bother him immensely. Freed is, unfortunately, *just* a smidge too dense to realize that Bickslow has also known all along, just because Bickslow is strangely very good at keeping things to himself, whereas Erik's magic is more obvious. In my au, Laxus knows too, and is literally just waiting for Freed to admit it, because it's not that big of a deal, really.

—Laxus is also the only one who (at first) knows about Bickslow's past, among the team. Mostly because of some variant of Laxus having seen/met him when it was all raw. Depending on the au flavor, this either is what gives the chaotic dude and the stoic dude a sort of mutual respect (closer to canon) or makes them the og best friends (htryds style). In the latter case, they are each other's impulse control and/or voice of reason, which is probably unfortunate because they're not great at it. This is why Bickslow has doodled drawings on half of Laxus's furniture and why Laxus gets away with avoiding his problems a little longer than he should.

—Freed is simultaneously the most responsible and the most edgy and ergo reckless of the crew. Everyone agrees he's got to value his safety just a little bit more. He's also the only one who consistently remembers the schedule/to-do-list.

—Erik shares the "living itinerary, doesn't have executive disfunction problems" braincell with Freed, and in the right conditions, they work very well together. Bonding over the experience of herding cats, that is their teammates.

—Not a headcanon but I want to whack all of them with sticks. The Sad Boi Stick, the Whump Stick... All flavors. Getting the ones who never fess up to their trauma a good thwack makes the trauma spill out, and I enjoy the possibilities that entails. Put them in Situations. >:D

—I do also appreciate them being silly-goofy, too, of course. No need to be angry all of the time, in some of their cases. (They all need affection so bad. The hurt/comfort allure of it all. Just sit down and admit they need it, etc etc.) Something that is conveniently done after a good physical and emotional thwacking— *gets dragged away forcefully*

[monokumafightclub]

I have no idea if you done Genocide Jack for that ask game or not

i have not, but better late than never! bonus toko as well bc why not

Sexuality Headcanon: obviously syo presents herself as a boy-liker and boy-killer, feels like she might be bi after her experiences with komaru, eventually settles on pan. toko insists that she's straight, but she's prob more bi than anything (once again, after the komaru thing). Gender Headcanon: toko rings off as cis female to me, syo probably doesn't give a shit especially when she goes by so many gendered names/nicknames in true crime circles that sticking to one is just too much effort. so agender/genderfluid on syo's part, probably? A ship I have with said character: syomaru and tokomaru, obviously. :'D admittedly i do enjoy syomaru a lil more than tokomaru, if mostly because i feel like they could've been showcased a bit more in UDG. that, and the shenanigan potential with syo and komaru is endless, i want silly casual antics with these two!! A BROTP I have with said character: i feel like syo and kotoko would be good friends, given the proper opportunity? i think she'd be a good guardian for kotoko! as for toko, i'm kinda growing to have a fondness for her and either aoi or sakura, if only toko would give either of them a chance, dangit!! A NOTP I have with said character: for the sake of both syo and toko, keep byakuya several leagues away from them. that being said, i do like syo fucking around with him just to piss him off. also people shipping syo and toko romantically is kinda weird, i don't like it A random headcanon: syo knows how to work with sheet metal and refuses to elaborate how or why. post-UDG, toko and komaru are attempting to collab on a novel together. key word being attempting. General Opinion over said character: even during the somethingawful LP days, i loved toko and syo and that love still holds strong even now. syo's a very fun character, but even beyond that, she adds some interesting facets to toko's character even if she wasn't exactly handled the best in her inception. as for toko, i'm probably one of the few people who did like her even before UDG; comedic assholes are my weakness. i do agree toko felt like she wasn't really fully utilized in DR1's main story though, so it's nice she got some expansion in UDG, as well as a genuine friend. ;o;

obviously there's people more qualified than i am in talking about them (esp in regards to their histories, their arc in UDG, and the whole DID thing), but i can still appreciate syo and toko as characters even if i can't articulate all the more complicated stuff regarding them.

also i REALLY enjoy seeing fun and fluffy stuff with syo, and your animations are a fantastic example of that! yandere/yangire stuff is kinda overplayed, so it's really nice seeing silly stuff with the silly serial killer!

[twotwinks]

minato (p3)

oh the he...the specialest boy.....!

Sexuality headcanon: gay but he's grayromantic about it. generally he'd rather Not.

Gender headcanon: that man is so trans. he would wear the miku binder too i just know it

A ship I have with said character: ohoho...bankita.....best and worst accident of my life-! i spoke it into existence while trying to make a joke and now i'm down bad for them. it's so fucking wild because it can literally never work they are separated by time and space and DEATH but the short little time they do get together is so special and they are so fucking cute in persona q and what little i've seen of them in q2 too (wildcard buffet lives in my head rent free "i feel like i've gotten to know you way better" what are you two FUCKING talking about) i also love playing with them completely outside of canon they are like little dollies to me i will put them in Situations and make them be cute and soft and fluffy for absolutely no justifiable reason it's GREAT i need to write more for them they make me so happy they give me so much comfort they also break my little gay heart.

A brotp I have with said character: well we've already exited the realm of canon so i might as well stay here for a while and say akiren. they are just two silly little guys they have a lot of similarities but they have such wildly different outlooks on life that putting them together and making them talk is so much fun! i think akiren would be a good influence on minato honestly, he's so full of hope and he believes in people so much and i think that would help minato also come to his final stance of wanting to save humanity and give everyone a chance to live their lives a little quicker. half of the reason i came up with the Came Back Wrong au is because i want them to hang out together and i want akiren to have that chance to touch minato's heart. i dunno i just think they're neat and also they're both my favorite protags so!

A notp I have with said character: i was gonna say ryomina because i just can't get into it but you know what actually. no. aikoto. i can't fucking stand it i'm dreading meeting aigis in p3re because i know the game waifu baits her and i don't want to deal with it i hate it so much!!! i don't even feel like i can properly appreciate aigis as a character because i just keep thinking about how much they push her relationship with minato and ugh!!! persona really needs to stop putting in waifu bait characters i hate all of them. aigis and rise and honestly even sumi would be a lot more compelling if they didn't have this cloud of "the protagonist is Super Extra Special to me in a way that's clearly different from the rest of the team" hanging over them. i mean minato fucking dies in aigis's arms like what the fuck. (god bless p3p for letting it be anyone you romance on ng+ that was honestly really sweet and a massive improvement.) i probably wouldn't be so bitter about it if i wasn't aro but man. leave me alone. it's not even too terribly popular in fandom from what i've seen except among people who just like to take canon at face value because it really is essentially the canon pairing. exhausting. down with amatonormativity i'm so fucking tired

A random headcanon: oh my god i have so many (immediately forgets every single one). no but actually i think for now i will talk about how i think he takes a lot of comfort in the small little cafes and restaurants around the bay area. i'll never stop thinking about that time in pq where he sees a table set for tea in the middle of a MYSTERIOUS MAGIC LABYRINTH FULL OF SHADOWS and he's so out of it that he for a moment he believes he's at cafe chagall and drinks the tea without a second thought. like the fact that in this highly confusing and stressful situation he thinks of being at chagall i dunno it just reads to me as that being a safe space and a place of comfort for him. i love that he can work there now in p3re i love that he and akiren can bond over being baristas at a cafe

General opinion over said character: oh my god ohhhhh my fucking god he's the guy ever he's so so important to me he has been since i first discovered he existed even though i couldn't play p3 at the time he touched me in a way no other character has ever managed. he makes me feel so feral i'm rattling the bars of my cage i'm foaming at the mouth chomping at the bit etc etc i'm crazy i'm insane over him. he's my third favorite character of all time only behind the twins and honestly if enstars weren't my forever fandom and i didn't feel guilty about it i might say it's a three way tie for my number one. he's just like me fr (derogatory) he's my big brother he's my son he's everything to me!!!

[clubsheartsspades]

for the character asks: dipper pines :)

Oooh, Dipper Pines is a good one:

Favourite thing about them:

I really like that even though he tries to be really mature and grown up and stuff, there are a lot of times when he plays silly games with Mabel, like the toothbrush race or just plain laser tag. It's fun and I love the dynamic the twins have.

Least favourite thing about them:

He doesn't shower enough. Go take a shower bitch!!

Favourite Line:

"No, but I have a razor!"

brOTP:

Dipper and Wendy. I love to think he gets over his crush and they keep up watching bad movies together.

OTP:

Dipper and Wirt, I write too much Pinescone not to say that lol

nOTP:

Also Dipper and Wendy. I don't mind Dipper and Paz, but that one I can only see when they are way older because Paz really needs a friend more than she needs a boyfriend.

Random Headcanon:

He learns to drive a motorcycle as soon as he's legally allowed to (don't come at me, he uses one in the show lol)

Unpopular Opinion:

To quote my own tags on my own fics, but: Dipper Pines can cook. No, I will not elaborate, I am right. The boy can cook.

Song I associate with them:

Okay just trust me on this, it's a link to youtube yes okay, but trust me, this is worth it, it's literally my favourite song, come on, you want to click it.

Favourite picture of them:

I'm not posting it because it's from an artist on here, but basically every time @chamiryokuroi draws older Dipper (and Mabel) looks absolutely amazing. (Sorry for the tag, but also you're great <3)

[cyberdragoninfinity]

judai for the ask game? (if it isn't too late)

NEVER TOO LATE i love chattering about yugioh guys....judaijaden my friend my beloved pal

favorite thing about them: wwaughhh judai/jaden is such a good character and i adore his character arc..... i love that he effectively has to learn how to have fun with dueling again (and thats its the King of Games himself who helps remind him of that!), and that you don't have to sacrifice your passion for what you love as you grow up. Real shit. Also he's just,, so fuckin funny (especially in the dub.))--both his dub and sub VAs do such a great job with him.

least favorite thing about them: man season 3!jaden is........rrrrrouuughhhh. not my favorite, the things that season does to his character. s3 is just. kind of clumsy in its execution dfsfdgdf it drops a lot of jaden's most endearing traits and struggles to make those personality shifts fully worth it. i do think s4 helps bring it back around though.

favorite line: IT'S SO HARD TO PICK JUST ONE HE HAS SO MANY GOOD LINES ESPECIALLY IN THE DUB. "Um, I read the card?" "Alright, Ap :^)" "This is no time to be speaking Australian!!" "I guess bear hugs and old people just don't go together :^(" DUB COMEDIC TIMING HITS DIFFERENT

brOTP: WAHH I LOVE HIM AND SYRUS'S FRIENDSHIP thats his BESTIE!!!!! His dynamic with Zane is so good too....honorary truesdale brother. I'm also a bit in the minority in that I much more enjoy thinking about and playing in the space of his bond with yubel being a sort of platonic soulmates situation. yuub being jaden's cool metalhead older sibling type beat 4 lyf round these parts

OTP: sorry for being a heroshipper it's not my fault i just LIKE THEM. his dynamic with aster is just so funny and kind of sweet and im enamored with them. what if we both liked superheroes and we were both boys and we kissed. 😳 (i like a lot of jaden ships though. rival, spirit, fiance..... i do think he'd be kind of a bad boyfriend for a number of reasons so his relationships might not. last. but. at least he has plenty of friends!!!!)

nOTP: just dont vibe much with jadenyubel as a romantic ship im afraid u__u like its fine but not really my jam.... i've talked about it before but the "ive loved you since you were a child" thing that yubel has just works so much better as a platonic read to me than a,, romantic one. sits weird with me otherwise.

random headcanon: god. so many. gay fat trans guy who's gonna grow up to look like jack black. can and will see every superhero movie that comes out. absolute s-tier smash bros player. has a fondness for pokemon firered. i could go on.

unpopular opinion: the aforementioned preferring his dynamic with yubel to be platonic, also season 1 jaden (and season 1 of gx in general!!) fucking rules. masterclass of just peak silly yugioh.

song i associate with them: One of my favorites for him is Odds Are by Barenaked Ladies.... something so upbeat and hopeful to it. "Sure things go wrong, but I'll take my chances/Odds are long, so why not play"

favorite picture of them:

i love this tag force 3 sprite of him....so cute

[vacantgodling]

character headcanons ask game: hanzo if someone else hasn't already asked about him, or lucio if someone has. or both :D

i did hanzoooo (but i’m always down to do more pff) but i’ll do lucio cuz tbh i had to think about this a bit. what ARE my headcanons for my favorite frog boy 🤔

Sexuality Headcanon: this is a good question—i think for him it’s about the vibes���is he vibing with someone. tbh lucio strikes me as someone who falls in love with a lot of people in a lot of different ways; he’s always in love with someone or something. but at the same time i don’t know if the concept of being with someone is something that he’s truly thought out. he’s always on the move, always on the go, always living life to the fullest extent and in a manner of ways i think he just needs someone (or potentially plural) that matches his energy. might be poly-pan perhaps, i think that would work for him.

Gender Headcanon: nb masculine would be a fun headcanon for him tbh. i don’t know if i’m that pressed i just know he’s a dude lol

A ship I have with said character: i’m actually a pretty big bunnyribbit fan and when i’m not losing my mind over hana and daehyun (the real otp) then these two are always thick as thieves to me. just as i was talking about in the sexuality headcanon, i think hana just matches his energy. HONESTLY BIG BRAIN THOUGHT of hana, lucio, daehyun ot3 oh my god—

A BROTP I have with said character: in the same frame, the hana lucio friendship is chefs kiss but i think most people pair them as friends together. that aside, i think he and tracer are such cute friends!!

A NOTP I have with said character: hmm. him and junkrat ig? but i just think all the junkers are useless to the story and i dislike all of them fr. so its less to do with the ship itself and more like general disdain for all 4 (yes i include the fucking hamster) of those characters and that sector of the ovw universe. shoulda never been made imo.

A random headcanon: i think his love of jazz music came from his father 💛💛

General Opinion over said character: i love him 🥺🥺 definitely the first character after hanzo and cass that i got attached to because he’s black and fun and sweet and has such good energy and also frogs 🥺 but i think the fandom does have a tendency to… dumb him down a bit. like he doesn’t get as much agency and thought as other characters do, which is ridiculous because he literally led an entire revolution for his people??? but people sleep on it??? he is very good natured tho but i think its silly to think he never gets angry or wouldn’t kick someone’s ass cuz he can and did. AND DID.

[withacapitalp]

you have to know this was coming: eddie, for the question game! <3

favorite thing about them

Oh my god Eddie so many good things!!! Eddie's passion is really amazing to me. He cares so much (part of why he and Steve work so well!) But like Eddie runs because ANYONE would run in that situation with Chrissy but he spends every last moment after that making up for it and wanting to do different and trying to be there for the Party HES SO GOOD ALSO HOW SOFT HE CAN BE AND HOW GENTLE HE CAN BE!!!! Him trying to comfort Chrissy, him and the boys, him and Steve walking in the Upside Down I LOVE HIM

least favorite thing about them

Oooof the hypocrisy kinda gets to me. He can't claim to be like this champion for the different, and then force Lucas to choose between his game and Hellfire. Like bud cmon!!!!

favorite line

"86 BABY"

"Never change, Dustin Henderson"

"I wouldn't remember me either"

"Harrington's got her, dontcha big boy!!"

SO MANY ICONIC LINES

brOTP

EDDIE AND NANCY BEING BESTIES IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE SO PERSONAL TO ME

OTP

Steddie obvi but I also really love Eddie and Argyle? I think stoner bfs is so much fun!!! I also really adore Hellcheer in every aspect but romantic they were my first!! Also hellcheer was the first fic I ever wrote I have a soft spot for them

nOTP

Mungrove, Eddie and death lol

random headcanon

Eddie is a jealous little guy!!!!! he's not just an only child, but he also spent so much of his life in poverty and ostracized. His things are His Things (including His People) and anytime he has to share he gets a lil twitchy

unpopular opinion

Okay I don't want Eddie to come back in s5. I think the duffers would fuck it up, I think it would be unsatisfying, and I'm just not here for watching a mediocre version of what fanfic has done better. The duffers need to learn how to just kill someone

song i associate with them

SO MANY Obviously 'I wouldn't remember me either' and Master of Puppets but also Vienna by Billy Joel and Jackie and Wilson by Hozier!

favorite picture of them

HES SUCH A SILLY GOOSE

[danganwlw]

Angie, Tsumugi and Maki (for the ask meme)

Yippie! Can do!

Angie

Sexuality Headcanon: Pansexual! It’s the color scheme.

Gender Headcanon: She’s got somethin genderfunky going on for sure! Probably uses some neopronouns fr good for her.

A ship I have with said character: So genuinely, Shironaga(Tsumugi/Angie) is the only v3 ship I have any strong attachment to. Artist girlfriends with so many problems with accepting and letting themselves participate in reality,,,

A BROTP I have with said character: I think she and Gonta could’ve been friends. They’re both silly guys. Smarter than they look. Will do anything for what they consider the good of everyone.

A NOTP I have with said character: Not to be controversial but I’m not a big Himiangie(?) fan. I don’t like Hate It though ofc lol.

A random headcanon: Not a headcanon necessarily but I simply cannot stop thinking about a world where Angie was just really autistic about Sanrio. I think she deserves it. She can be a Pompompurin fan.

General Opinion over said character: Girl you’re so fascinating but your writing is unforgivably awful.

Tsumugi

Sexuality Headcanon: Pansexual also!

Gender Headcanon: I think she’s cis but like Cis+ yknow. She thought about it long and hard. She experimented. Good for her.

A ship I have with said character: Shironaga yet again! Though Kaemugi is fascinating as well.

A BROTP I have with said character: Can I say Gonta again? Can we talk about how she was the only bitch in that game to consistently stand up for him? BUT ALSO Hifumi. Chronically online tumblr mutuals. ALSO RANTARO but in a fun tense way.

A NOTP I have with said character: Hmm. I can’t see her romantically with Rantaro, but that’s the case for everyone. I suppose her and Kiibo? Not a fan.

A random headcanon: I’m sorry besties but Tsumugi would for sure unironically call her tumblr followers tumblrinas. She also would write the longest meta posts about her favorite shows.

General Opinion over said character: In terms of potential, I like her maybe even more than Junko. Too bad v3’s execution of its twists was so completely botched.

Maki

Sexuality Headcanon: An aroace lesbian fr.

Gender Headcanon: There’s def some gender stuff going on but I don’t think she’d bother to really think about it much. She just vibes.

A ship I have with said character: Tenkaemaki! All three of them can kiss and hold hands.

A BROTP I have with said character: I think. She and Mukuro and Peko should all be friends. Maybe kiss also but that’s not what this is about lol. If we’re talking pure nonshipped friendships, then her and Kirumi I think! Unless,,, (Training trio also but that’s obvious).

A NOTP I have with said character: Sorry training trio polycule enjoyers I just don’t see Maki with either of those boys romantically.

A random headcanon: I think Maki would really like baking if she took the time to do it. It’s nice to have something less physically intensive to do sometimes.

General Opinion over said character: One of the better parts of v3. I’m sorry for my Kokichi stanning era, queen. I’ve learned and grown since then.

jade of harley

gender: trans girl!

sexuality: irrelevant she is chilling and having fun

ship: despite how ass postcanon jade is i DO like how versatile she is, she could be in a relationship with like any girl and girls she wanted and it would be awesome, and even a few boys too if it so pleases. however recently one that has stood out to me as particularly awesome is arajade...the sillies of life and death!!! the sillies of time and space!!! yay :D

brotp: dave. jade literally turns dave silly like no one else is capable of

notp: well first off i wanna publically denounce the dubiously canon davejadekat and rosemary situations. what were they fucking doing there. depictions outside of epilogues can be pretty good though

random hc: i really just think after homestuck on earth c that she has a lotta fun with her friends and she brings back a little of that a3 energy to her eoa6 swag [<-a1-4 fan]

opinion: jade is one of my top favs in all of homestuck and likely of all time. she is silly and wise and Extremely Fucking Powerful, and she is tired of being mean she wants to go nicemode, and she is doggy, AND she's a bass player so like

meme from online here

more info:

2015: my boy severin! <3 weird little undertaker of my heart. i also love jojo so i daresay my art is both 1. finding a more "me" style and 2. improving.

2016: good art vibes continue as i discovered loid this year! also more gijinkas! the lovely and wonderful maddy, jellie, and pamela! <3

2017: this year was fun bc i wanted to draw a mokouzart every moth and for the most part succeeded. my art was wonky and bad proportions but i was having fun and thats the most important thing imo

2018: my art was still bad proportions but i was starting to get more self conscious abt it. art school does that to a guy -weary emoji face- but dont be concerned there was still a lot of heart and i was getting more into storytelling in fics. hence the kasulaeg good stuff.

2019: this was def a weird time for me artwise- somehow i wasnt satisfied with how anything looked most of the time. i think just lifewise weird stuff happened too so it was really a time of change. also my art self esteem had been damaged pretty badly from art college and mobile game fans online (you know who you are). this one of rosa and kasumi is really goated tho, probably the last time ive been really happy for and actively cheering on the c y l winners. (tho i am happy for chrom/tiki/robin/corn tbh)

2020: this year was kinda me trying to get my groove back tbh. socially stuff had happened too (in 2019) but weirdly this was a big time for self discovery for me. during the job lockdown i was able to binge d q 11 and realized how fun games and fantasy anime genre has the potential to be. and i made a new friend! this treblesal is actually a redraw but i love their faces in this the best <3

2021: this year was where i felt like my groove was finally returned. minor setback of a computer crash in january aside, i started a series of an-allegroface-a-week and it was actually really fun and satisfying. in oct there was this platonic fave month which was so much fun. <3 sevil and kisumi are one of the awesome results of it! (not the brotp but the artwork)

2022: i feel like this was such a big year bc of n w h but thats just silly. but at the same time its kinda true lol. my creative kick for aime tachi was back, along with a need to go to d l and a sense of right and wrong which had been tested over the years. sure its gotten me nothing but trouble but im still a bit glad for it. i also decided to get creative w shading and pencils, and found that thin pens work a lot better for antonio's luscious locks. and that meant a very cool trebletonio drawing for his character day! <3

2023: 2023 had a lot of good content imo, it was hard to choose just one. but its gotta be the monty one man. i spent the whole year working on it no joke. more weird stuff happened last year but i do think i made steps to improving at art. that being said i have more unfinished artworks than schubert has unfinished symphonies (thats not saying much. he has one.)

2024: this year is only halfway done and so far ive drawn some things(tm). but i had to give it to mokouzart, i love these little freaks so much. notably this year ive started drawing the shines in characters' eyes? i like drawing them w the quote unquote dead eyes but its nice trying this too.

Itto!

My best buddy my friend. My pal. My good time boy

Favorite thing - his english voice!! He's soo funny and never fails to make me giggle when he's part of a quest

Least favorite thing - the way his abs are drawn onto his in game model. It looks so silly it makes it almost charming again

Favorite line - all of them!! All of them are perfect

brOTP - saying it over and over again BUT SCARA!! IS!! HIS!! LITTLE FRIEND!! HIS BUDDY!! HIS COMPADRE

OTP - i don't see him with anyone tbh! I think the enemies/rivals dynamic with sara is fun and interesting and gorou especially cause he's clueless about the miss hina thing but i see all of those ships working as friendships more than pairing. I don't have any preferences!

nOTP - don't have one! As long as he stays a happy little guy i am happy

Random headcanon - i think he's younger than he looks like. He's just a big guy but I think he's probably around my age. Absolutely no way that is a full on functioning adult

Unpopular opinion - i doubt i have any so i will make up sth random ��� he doesn't know what sex is and isn't particularly interested in knowing, if anyone flirts with him he thinks you're just being extra nice. King!

Song I associate him with - all star by smash mouth and hug me from the despicable me 3 soundtrack 🤭

Fav pic - unfortunately cant repost fanart so meme it is

Ohh I wonder what you say about Giorno :0

I have So Many Thoughts about him and none of them are coherent let's go

favorite thing about them: Moral ambiguity in a main protagonist is always very cool and epic. I like that he's so thoroughly a combination of his dads, like he's a gentleman who aspires to make his country safer for kids, but he also. Y'know. Murders people a lot and doesn't bat an eye if it's for a greater cause. Very Machiavellian for a 15 year old lol. He's also just super weird and I really like that. My boy literally went to meet with Polpo and was like "yeah my only skill is I can put my entire ear into my head. watch this" and then proceeded to kill him. "Ohhh instead of stealing one car, I'm gonna ruin a hundred peoples' days by turning all these cars into frogs." "Yeah I'm gonna drive the car into a large body of water to escape an enemy who turns everything into ice. This is a good and sound decision." Literally impeccable

least favorite thing about them: Okay so maybe this will come as a surprise. But based on Vento Aureo alone, he is my least favorite JoJo by far. I found him really boring and overshadowed by the rest of the cast, mainly because he rarely had a real struggle. Like, in nearly every fight, I had no doubts that Giorno was going to sweep in and kill the enemy easily. Everyone in the main cast was constantly singing his praises except for Abbacchio, and even his disdain was clearly out of his own insecurities rather than actually disliking him. And like, even by JJBA standards, he just seemed a liiiittle too overpowered in general without much to balance it out. I think it's cool that he's essentially a catalyst for everyone else's lives to get overturned and for them to change as people, but at times, he really seemed like no more than a narrative device. It wasn't until I read PHF and started writing my own Vento Aureo fics that I started liking him and developing him as a character in my brain and now I can't stop thinking about him help

favorite line: Everything he says in the Solider in Love chapter in PHF. Holy shit. Everything from the stupid chicken rant to the "half a step" speech is just so interesting, and (to me at least) it all feels so deliberate characterization-wise. Like, Giorno in the PHF-verse is kind of a terrible person at times, and a lot of it has to do with him being so closed-off from everyone as a coping mechanism, but him being just like. A little silly and awkward with Fugo by complaining about chicken (and then proceeding to stuff his face with it, which is also just supremely funny), and admitting that he's grieving too, and offering to share in that grief with him, essentially prompting both of them to turn a new leaf together, etc etc I love it so much.

brOTP: Him and Mista. I love their platonic dynamic so much, even in canon/PHF timeline where they have a falling out, because that dynamic is still super super interesting to me. Just. Mista taking him under his wing and becoming the first genuine friend Giorno's ever had, Giorno looking up to him for guidance because, even though he's hyper-competent and definitely has his shit together more than Mista does, he's still an awkward teenage boy who's never really had any kind of social outlet, and he thinks Mista is cool in the way a kid thinks their older sibling is. Giorno goes to him for advice on talking to his crush and making new friends, and Mista takes him out to do silly teenager things he never got to try, and idk. Their friendship is so fun. And when shit goes down in canon and Mista hates him, I still think that a part of Giorno still looks up to him, and one of his biggest regrets is how he treated Mista because of his own inclinations to push away any potential bonds in the fear of being abandoned. Anyhow

OTP: Fugio!! Talked about them a lot already on my Fugo post, but. Man. From Giorno's end, I like to think that his feelings sort of stemmed from Fugo completely overturning his whole worldview just by existing. Like, Giorno has gone his whole life believing that suppressing emotions makes him strong and will keep him safe, and then in walks Hyper-Emotional Pannacotta Fugo and his Feelings-Based Killing Machine and he's like. What the fuck. How does he just. What. And cue Giorno Giovanna's extreme distress over this walking contradiction who can feel things and gains power through emotions and has just torn everything he believed to shreds and now he won't leave his brain what is happening??? (It's okay he just has a crush but he's really dramatic about it.) Also Fugo is a massive simp but Giorno is, too, he's just more subtle about it. 1000% he writes melodramatic love poems for him and decorates them with pressed flowers and sprays them with perfume and the whole time he's like. "Love my pathetic emo bf so very very much :) <333"

nOTP: Uhhh Giomis and that's all I'm gonna say on the matter. Also stuff like Brugio/Abbagio/whatever obviously.

random headcanon: When he was a kid, his mom and stepdad sort of left him to fend for himself, so he got really good at making like. Kraft mac and cheese and kid cuisines. On the other hand, he can't cook a meal from scratch to save his life. He has like no idea how the individual ingredients work, so, if left to his own devices, he just makes horrible 50s housewife jello salad type meals. He's definitely tried making alfredo sauce with melted ice cream because "ice cream is just frozen cream, isn't it? By that logic, I can melt it, and it should work." It did not. He was banned from cooking in the Bucci Gang house after that.

unpopular opinion: The fandom does him dirty just as much as Kakyoin. Seriously, I know I'm not the best Giorno writer either, but some of the stuff I've seen on AO3 is just. Yeah. Stop writing him as a sex object please thanks <3

song i associate with them: Flowers Never Bend With the Rainfall by Simon and Garfunkel is more or less how I like characterizing him. I also have a little playlist for him here.

favorite picture of them: Classic image but he looks so very cool :]

[pajamamatsu]

For the character game thingie! JYUSHIMAAAATS

anon im sorry this is so late

favorite thing about them

his chaos, hes funny, but also hes still like that too. hes a good bro. hes sillley. a dogboy. one thing i really love is that how he gets his brothers, better shown through suuji or wakaba. actually now that i mentioned wakaba that bring me to something else i like about him and its how he will get angry like. usually with characters that smile through everything or are silly, etc. they rarely get angry and its used for dramatic purposes but with jyushi, he’ll get angry normally. a nice break from that trope. also his cute lil eyelashes

least favorite thing about them

jyushi bestie i love you but i dont care for sports. also think he’d be too loud for me sometimes or too high energy. also why the cryptocurrency

favorite line

any of his classic lines like BOEHBA or HUSTLE HUSTLE MUSCLE MUSCLE bc ill just repeat it over and over as a stim sometimes

brOTP

otouto is so good but my favorite duo with jyushi is either suuji or sue!! shoutout to baka tho love idiots being idiots

suuji is a classic okay. and i like the aspect of jyushi it brings out where it shows how he gets his brothers. he knows how ichi is and makes sure to include him in things or push him to do stuff with him to get out of the house and knows his limits.

and with sue its the youngest bros!! todo is his only younger brother and the way they get along is just fun to see!! they like playing board games together and jsut get along!!! i care them

OTP

jyushihomu i care about them

nOTP

again besides the obvious cant think of anything

random headcanon

has reality bending powers, but can or will only use them for the funnies. 

unpopular opinion

head empty next

song i associate with them

the hardest question you can ask me bc i cant think of any song i know that i really associate with him? itd have to be smth that sounds upbeat but the lyrics arent quite it like a they might be giants song or “ocean” by lemon demon. i need to broaden my music taste 

favorite picture of them

dream magical boy outfit

[vespertin-y]

oooo ask game! what about kiibo? he's definitely my favorite dr character & i love hearing people's thoughts about him :eyes:

thank u for the ask quinn!! (can i call u quinn?? why does calling ppl on the internet by their first name always feel so weird..) unfortunately i do not think abt kiibo much since i hyperfocus a lot on my comfort characters, but i will try my best!!

Sexuality Headcanon: i'm gonna default to bi bc. i am bi. also probably ace through physical limitations, unless miu got to him...

Gender Headcanon: LISTEN i know he only says that stuff about not really being a boy bc dr thinks gender and sex are the same thing but,,,nb kiibo cute!!! i'm gonna say he/they demiboy (mostly bc the flag matches his colorscheme)

A ship I have with said character: him, kaito, and miu would b a really fun triad!! i’m a big irumota shipper and when i was thinking abt characters kiibo’d match with i realized he’d fit into their dynamic pretty well....where’s my fic where kaito falls hopelessly in love with the AI on his spaceship and has his inventor girlfriend build him a cute body huh??

A BROTP I have with said character: kiibo could have cool friendships with a lot of the cast i think!! kaede not being able to resist literally pushing his buttons is extremely funny to me, and so is him and shuichi realizing they’ve both been looking down on each other this whole time. I think him and kiyo could have really interesting conversations about humanity and what it means to be a human, and i think his relationship with angie + the student council is fascinating. my favorite possible friendship for kiibo is definitely him and tenko, though. can u imagine them talking about their favorite idols together,,,going to concerts together,,,handmaking fan t-shirts with glitterglue and puff paint,,,ADORABLE

A NOTP I have with said character: i don’t really like him and kokichi as a ship 😶. nothing against the shippers for this one, but i don’t think kokichi’s bullying was pigtail-pulling, i think it was distrust. you think the SHSL Paranoia is gonna be chill with the seventh robot in a game with six openly evil robots??? no!! at least in my interpretation, kokichi categorizes kiibo as essentially another monokub. i also think kokichi was...jealous, frankly. kiibo is so obviously untrustworthy, even if he doesn’t mean to be, and yet he’s accepted into the group far more than kokichi is. and yes, he works very hard to NOT be accepted in the group, but if you think kokichi is above irrational, childish jealousy...u are wrong <3 wait i still managed to ramble about a comfort character in a post about kiibo oh fuck oh n

A random headcanon: his singing is good fuck u kodaka >:( turning his dream into a one-off joke was unfunny and stupid my mans sounds like miku herself

General Opinion over said character: has cute and fun moments but his writing in general is how do i say...bad. he’s a nice young man and deserved better than being turned into a “haha silly SJWs thinking everything is discrimination” joke! also his first instinct when he’s freed from the audience being “i am going to blow everything up with a lazer cannon” will forever be the funniest thing to me. he wants to go apeshit...
