Jounouchi for the meme :3

What I like about them

His bravery and determination! This boy has endless perseverance and six hundred yen to his name and he will make the most of both of them. An Egyptian God couldn't kill him in a way that mattered, and people really think they're going to stop him when he puts his mind to something? Please. He's also snarky and funny as hell (in the manga / English dub of the anime, at least). Love this boy.

What I dislike about them

In the early parts of the manga he was a perv toward women because haha, perversion is so funny, right? 🙃 No, it's not. Rest in peace, Takahashi, but I hate how much you included male characters being pervs in the early chapters of the manga. (Jounouchi was far from the only victim of this.)

Favourite moment

Either when he stayed in the Black Crown to rescue Yuugi during the fire, or the pier duel when he broke through the Millennium Rod's control to save Yuugi from drowning. 😭 My heart will never recover fr.

Least favourite moment

Again, the moments in the early part of the manga when he was a perv toward the female characters . . . so fucking gross.

A situation with this character that I want to see explored more

Honestly I feel like not enough attention is paid to the fact that the home Jounouchi comes from is not only broken, but that he's scraping by by the skin of his teeth working part-time jobs (which he really shouldn't even be doing as a high school student, but does it anyway to support himself and his piece of shit dad). Like jokes are made in the manga about how Jounouchi will jump at the chance to make some money, or how he'll scarf down any food he can get his hands on, but like, yeah! He's dirt poor! His dad is a worthless scumbag who is abusive and neglectful and doesn't work! He has food insecurity because again, he's broke as hell. And yet he never makes this anyone else's problem, he doesn't resent his sister at all for getting to leave with their mom (and instead just loves her endlessly) . . . he's a great kid and doesn't get enough appreciation for the shit hand he was dealt in life and how he just bares his teeth in a grin and deals with it anyway. Kaiba could fucking never.

An interesting AU for this character

I like my AU where he still survived Ra's attack in Battle City, but did so at the cost of losing his memory (which leads to Shizuka taking him back to Hanafuda City with her to live with their mom after the tournament is over). And of course A Candle in the Dark is my magnum opus, and also counts since it's a canon divergence.

A crossover

I still love my Legend of Zelda crossover, which is less a crossover and more of a blend of the Hylian cycle surviving into modern times . . . even though it's in no way canon, Jounouchi having the Spirit of the Hero is canon in my heart.

OTP (or OT3+ etc…. just… favourite ship)

Jounouchi/Yuugi, of course. I maintain this ship would be so, so much more popular if people read the manga / the anime was actually faithful to the manga.

Other ships?

None, tbh, although I do really like his dynamic with Anzu . . . if Yuugi didn't exist then I would probably ship Jounouchi with her. But since Yuugi exists, lol, nope.

BROTP

Jounouchi & Anzu, since Yuugi exists. Their relationship development is just so good. They literally start at the very bottom of "only tolerate each other for Yuugi's sake," but then by the time Battle City rolls around they're hanging out without Yuugi and Anzu is enthusiastically cheering him on. (Not to mention how she told off Kaiba for his sake? Baller.) Their relationship is sooooo good.

And of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Shizuka! The little sister ever. The one who inspires Jounouchi to keep fighting, for her sake if nothing else. The one who wanted to give him courage right back! It's really unfortunate that Takahashi didn't do more with Shizuka—she deserved so much better, she deserved to show that she has the same fire her brother does!—but that's okay. I can fill in the gaps myself. <3

NOTP

Jounouchi/Kaiba and Jounouchi/Mai, and to a slightly lesser extent Jounouchi/Atem because it really doesn't make sense with Yuugi there / I can't do that to Yuugi. (It doesn't make sense because canonically Jounouchi always picks Yuugi over Atem, and I can't do that to Yuugi because Yuugi already feels inferior to Atem; having his best friend pick Atem over him would be just cruel.)

An assortment of headcanons! 

He's allergic to cats! He has a Kuriboh keychain on his keyring that Yuugi gave him. (He gave a Baby Dragon keychain to Yuugi in return.) He has a Sonic the Hedgehog cell phone charm while Shizuka has a Tails one. He associates miso soup with being sick because it's what his mom used to make for him when he was little. His favorite fruit is satsuma oranges, because when his parents were fighting before his mom left, he'd put orange slices in his mouth and smile around them, which would make Shizuka laugh / distract her from the fighting. He's good at math. His favorite NES game is Battletoads, though he's never beaten it. He's a decent cook, because he had to learn or he wouldn't eat after his mom left. He doesn't ever drink alcohol because of the alcohol-related trauma that comes with having an abusive alcoholic as a father. (And similarly, any partners drinking alcohol would be a massive turn-off.) He's bisexual. He likes games of chance, but never gambles for money because the reality that he could lose that money gives him (metaphorical) hives. He learned how to hotwire a car when he was thirteen, and knows how to drive even though he never gets his driver's license. He grows up to be a radio DJ with a talk show all his own after high school. He also does Let's Plays and game commentary. He doesn't have a co-host for his radio show because he talks so much he honestly doesn't need one. (He's got the gift of gab.) He's actually pretty good at basketball. His favorite band is Siam Shade.

irelise replied to your post: Multiples of 8!

it kills me that ao3 doesn’t give you view statistics per chapter…. HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKED MY FIC ENOUGH TO READ MORE THAN ONE CHAPTER, I NEED TO KNOW DAMMIT AO3

UGH YEAH... I have a dying need to know how many people just skipped over to where the sin is at

But yes... one thing I definitely miss from FF.net was the way they did stats... They are so fascinating, I really hope AO3 considers adding more advanced statistics in the future...!

Omgg c'est trop cool! J'imaginais jamais en parler sur tumblr hahaha. J'y vais aussi chaque année depuis quelques temps. On s'est sûrement croisées sans savoir xD

hey c��est trop cool indeed! je suis contente que tu m’aies envoyé un message :D! tu es de liège? moi je viens de bruxelles tous les ans! et tu aimes dragon age? (et -gasp- solas?) où étais-tu toutes ces années???

[feriyen]

Okay since you want prompts: Wingul & his artist side (bonus point if flowers are involved); Wingul & Agria rivalry; Wingul & Chimeriad & Gaius acting like a big weird family cos they totally are; some romantic GaiWin in Taurus time; for smth a bit darker maybe smth about the time his uncles were fighting Gaius and not listening to him?; X2-setting alive!Wingul & Gaius (established GaiWin) going to an alt world where they're still enemies... I could go on haha Wingul is so precious x)

I did most of these a couple years ago, but I got to play Xillia 2 over the summer and can finally write about the last prompt!

On a more general note, I’m always open to prompts (including AU requests) for any canon I post about if anyone wants a short fic. I have a writer’s itch I can’t seem to scratch.

Okay:

Gaius isever the peacekeeper first and warrior next, opting for words when he sees hisapparently unexpected guest. On the other hand, he is much too polite andstandoffish to be familiar.

Winguldoesn’t miss the widening of those eyes in the alarmed stare: It is not the waya man looks at his lover. Once Gaius calls him “Li Ying,” he realizes why.Henceforth, he would call this man “Erston.”

“What bringsyou here?” asks Erston, the wide-eyed stare narrowing into an apprehensiveglance. “As I understand it, you’ve been … busy.”

“Busy,”echoes Wingul, flatly. “With what?”

“Weren’t yourecovering from an illness?”

Wingulconsiders this, nearly stunned by the idea of being sick, but doing well tohide his calm surprise. He hasn’t been ill in over a decade, in especial notafter the booster experiment. However, if Gaius is still Erston (by hisreckoning) in this fractured dimension, then it may well be that Li Ying neverencountered Ortega, much less made the decision to get stronger.

In otherwords, his counterpart in this dimension is the worthless shadow he’d leftbehind. More importantly, he has no rapport to boast about with Gaius, whodoesn’t exist.

Winguldecides to gamble, albeit with some distaste toward the address. “Why do youthink I’m here, Gaius?”

“Truthfully,I do not know. The last time we spoke, you were abundantly clear that youwouldn’t suffer another like it.”

“And howlong has it been since then?”

“Years.Nearly a decade,” says Erston, as an afterthought.

“So youthink me a static fool.”

“I saidnothing of the sort.” Erston scowls. “Be frank with me now, Chief Li Ying. Why areyou here? Why haven’t you sent your vassal, the safer choice, in your stead?”

If he cantrust this information, Nils is alive. More precisely, a stranger wearing Nils’name and face roams this fracture dimension. Wingul has little desire to seethis man, and even less to speak of him.

“Don’tpresume to understand my decisions,” says Wingul, deigning not to use theimpostor's name and ending on a clipped note. “You’re asking the wrongquestions.”

“Am I?”

“Before youthink about the reasons, why don’t you consider how I made it this far?”

Erston andhis formations have always been predictable in their own right. Weaving his waythrough the grounds and doing so undetected had been as easy for Wingul ascrossing over to the other side of the palace in the prime dimension. But LiYing, he supposes, wouldn’t be capable of such a feat. As if thinking the same,Erston pauses.

“There issomething you’re not telling me,” he says at last.

“I’ve toldyou nothing within the decade,” retorts Wingul.

“No, youhave not. In fact, you’ve been eerily quiet since the avalanche, so I ask youagain: why are you here and talking to me?”

Ah, thinks Wingul. Li Ying let histroops perish in the avalanche on that fateful day. The fool must have been forced to withdraw and recuperate all theseyears.

“Despitewhat happened, you would still call me Chief?” asks Wingul.

“Your tribecontinues to survive under your direction. Though it may be small now, whatremains of your people has sworn loyalty to you,” says Erston.

Wingulnarrows his eyes. The people who remain are traditionalists who clingdesperately to the old power of patriarchy. Instead, he says, “My visit hasnothing to do with Long Dau. Did you know? There’s an impostor parading aroundand using your good name to his boon; some say he’s a spitting image. He’s beenwandering for some time now.”

An honorablechief does not lie, and so Erston believes him. “Yes, I’ve heard rumors of sucha man. But why are you, an old adversary of mine, telling me this?”

“Fornegotiation. I have no more desire to pursue you: The means have long left me.”To be frank, he could attempt it and possibly succeed, but there is no gain in slayingsomebody without Ludger in close proximity. “So indulge me in a fantasy. Let metake care of this impostor with your backing.”

Erston hums.“You came all this way, alone, to make this unusual demand. Can I trust you?”

“A chieftaindoesn’t lie.”

He may not,but Wingul is no chief.

“Though hemay be political,” says Erston. He nods. “Very well. I’ll see how much yourwords mean now that the passage of ten years is upon us. Understand, however,that you will not be the leading authority in this task. You are to aid my men asthey are you in their search and arrest for due punishment. Do not forget this,Li Ying.”

Wingulsnorts. “Of course not.”

a/n: Wingul separating this Gaius from his by their old name is meant to be a subtle nod to an established relationship. As far as he’s concerned, “Gaius” is sacred and only his can have it. This didn’t have a clear direction at first, but it ended nicely enough with Wingul using this Gaius to find his, haha.

yume-x-hanabi said: Iirc Sorey and Mikleo are 17 but idk if the rest have ages. I need to buy the PG one day…

Ah, thanks! Hmm if those two have specific ages then I hope they revealed at least Alicia and Rose’s.

[guardianoftime]

yume-x-hanabi said: Wouldn’t that mean that they now have their own atmosphere? idk, idk Graces’ wb well enough…

No, for two reasons.

1) Ephinea is artificial and wasn't made to support life naturally. The Aquasphere + Foselos work in harmony with the Valkines and the Lastalia to keep eleth flowing around the planet and keep eleth on the planet. Without the Aquasphere it'd just fly out everywhere.

2) Since Ephinea's Lastalia is just a giant piece of cryas with a small portion of Fodra's Lastalia in it, it doesn't actually create its own eleth, it just circulates from what it had stored in it.

If in the future they somehow develop their own atmosphere, there's really not any way to explain that going off of the little world building there is. I guess technically it could be possible if their Lastalia spontaneously became a real one and started creating its own eleth--then it'd function much like Fodra's and Fodra has a natural atmosphere.

So IDK personally I think whoever drew or directed that cutscene was not the same person who drew or directed the earlier cutscenes.

Actually the 2nd image is from F Arc, so that could explain it. F Arc had a slightly different team than the one that made the rest of the game IIRC.

K J R!

K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

I guess the fandom I'm most active in right now is Sonic, so . . .

One of my best friends for the past six years is a Sonic fan, and I love her, so I have a high opinion of her.

I like the people I'm in a small discord server with.

There's a person I follow who does reviews of the Archie comics along with other assorted Sonic updates / drama / etc, and I like her work and reading her opinions.

And as for the rest of the fandom . . . well, like any massive fandom, the Sonic fandom can be a horror show at times. But I've learned to stay away from it. In particular there's this one group of people who are super negative about an aspect of the franchise that I really enjoy, so I just blocked them all to make my experiences on tumblr much more pleasant and that was a good decision on my part. You've just got to curate your experience, and walk away from situations that are stressful or rife with drama. Fandoms are a lot more enjoyable when you do that.

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

I guess Doctor Who? But I'm not really into it anymore, like I was back in the early 2010s. But seeing gifs and such of it on tumblr were what got me to watch the RTD era, and I really enjoyed it back then.

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

For Sonic, Shadow/Rouge, though I know at least a couple other people ship them, so I'm not completely alone lmao. Just mostly. Also Alan/Leon from Pokémon, I'm literally the only person on that life raft lmao.

[dimensionslip]

Multiples of 8!

8. What’s the biggest “challenge” for you as a writer?

This is going to sound so trite, but motivation. I’m extremely guilty of enjoying discussing writing/potential pieces over actually writing them. And/or saying I’m gonna write a thing, but never get around to it.

It’s the main reason why most of my writing nowadays are collaborations--holding hands with someone throughout the process keeps me motivated, as passion can only take me so far sometimes.

Bonus: I suck at summaries and titles, and it takes me forever to come up with something I deem passable. And even then, I cringe at them half the time anyway.

16. Can you tell us anything about your current WIP?

IT’S A HORRENDOUSLY LONG DIMILIX THING...

Though on a more Tales-related note, my other WIP is another canon divergent thing with a 3000-word OC bio... and that’s just pre-game stuff.

24. Have you ever had an idea for story and forgot about it?

I’m pretty sure the answer to this is yes. And of course, I don’t remember what the idea is...

36. Have you ever written smut?

*coughs* *chokes* *points at AO3* yes and I’m way too chicken to post some of my spicier ones

IT’S SO FUNNY because I used to be so shy about it, but now it’s like "yeah yeah I get it, I’m thirsty”

40. How many likes do your fics usually get?

On Tumblr, the link outs get around 10-20 on average, on occasion I get lucky and they hit 30 or more.

48. Do you post your writing in any other platforms?

AO3 for the most part. I love the layout and tagging system. Though I do wish it would provide more detailed statistics since I’m a numbers geek.

[sage-nebula]

You're not far yet but I'd love to see your thoughts about Merill so far :)

My thoughts on Merrill are complicated because I played Origins as a Dalish elf!!

So I know you did a Dalish elf origin in Inquisition, but I can't remember if you did that in Origins too. If not: in Origins, if you start as a Dalish elf, your clan is the same clan Merrill comes from and she actually joins your party for a brief time during that origin story, after your Warden and Tamlen touch the mirror and Tamlen goes missing. To begin with, she looks completely different and I don't think this is just due to the graphical upgrade (although that is part of it):

This is how she looks in Origins. As you can see, she looks like a whole ass adult, at least as old as the Warden, if not a little older.

But then in DA2:

She looks like a kid!! And this is in part due to the graphical upgrade, and also due to some stylistic changes for the elves. Like their irises are much bigger now, for instance. But even without that the difference is stark. She's shorter, her skin is paler, her face is smoother, her eyes (not just her irises) are bigger . . . others have noticed it too, in my Google search for these images I found mods for DAO that make Merrill (and Marethari, who also had change if not as extreme) look more like her DA2 counterpart. So appearance-wise, she underwent a whole change.

But I feel like there was a personality change too? Granted we don't interact with Merrill too much in DAO, and it could be explained by the fact that she hadn't yet discovered blood magic and so she wasn't ostracized by the rest of the elves yet, + she was interacting with people she'd known all her life. But in DAO I remember her being a bit more stern and confident. Like she calls out that one elf (can't remember his name now) for wanting to come along with the Warden and her to search for Tamlen and only relents / doesn't go tell on them to Marethari if the Warden can convince her that Marethari already said it's fine. Like I remember her being a bit more bossy and confident, whereas in DA2 she apologizes a lot, rambles on a lot, is less sure of herself, and is super naive. Like it's not just that she looks like a child but that she kind of acts like one, too. I don't think she's supposed to be, I think she's supposed to be an adult, she was the same age as the Warden (or roundabouts there) in DAO and she can live on her own, etc. The explanation in the game is that she just never interacted with anyone beyond the Dalish before so she's very ignorant about the ways of the world. But it comes across as very childlike, especially with the way some of the other party members treat her (e.g. Isabela), so it just feels like a radical change to me.

All of that said, I do still like her! I think she's cute. Thinking about her as a love interest does weird me out because of how she comes across as childlike to me (it's why I couldn't see my Hawke pursuing her), but she is a staple in my party and I do like her a lot still. I want her to find more confidence in herself, and to someday realize that she can return to her clan (or at least have the chance to without everyone sans Marethari hating her). Or maybe she can seek out the Warden, wherever she is, to go live nearer to her or something.

But the drastic change in appearance / personality still trips me up and distracts me a lot. I think the meta reason is that they probably just didn't have a clear idea of who they wanted Merrill to be when they wrote DAO, and she had such a small role they didn't see an issue with changing her. But since I went straight from Dalish elf DAO to DA2, it stands out in stark contrast to me and is a bit distracting, even if my feelings for her are overall positive.

[sage-nebula]

ygoooooo (these asks are hilarious tbh)

The duality of man.

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

JOUNOUCHI KATSUYA MY BELOVED. He's been my absolute favorite character since I was first introduced to the series via the anime dub way back in middle school. At first, he was my favorite because he made me laugh, and I have a weakness for those who can make me laugh. But then I read the manga and learned that he is so much more than that. In fact, he is everything. I once saw someone say that you can tell how good of a character he is because everyone wants to pair their faves with him. And that take bewildered me so much because for me, Jounouchi is my fave. I don't see him as a trophy for a character I like more, but rather, he's the one I like most! So yes, my blorbo from this series will always be Jounouchi. In fact, I'd go so far as to say he's a comfort character for me. He makes me happy and mistreatment of him by the anime studio makes me so upset. He's the best boy.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

. . . Does Kuriboh count? Hahaha, I'm not sure I have one of these for this series! But Kuriboh is so cute. Like the design, but also the little behaviors it shows sometimes. Like when it gets Angery and does little growling and clawing motions? So precious!

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

I'm going to give a hot take here and say Yuugi! Because honestly, Yuugi is overlooked not only by the fandom at large, but also by the whole ass anime studio who decided that he was no longer good enough to be the protagonist and instead replaced him with Atem, including and especially in all the merchandise. (Like, the YuuJou card has Atem on it, when that should have been Yuugi ffs.) Yuugi is the actual protagonist of the series and there is so much more to him than "gentle boy who has a spirit possess him to play card games." Yuugi has been brave and strong in his own way since chapter one when he first confronted Jounouchi and Honda on his own to get his Puzzle back, but then also defended them from Ushio, but then also accepted Jounouchi's offer of friendship at the end of the chapter even though he would have been justified in refusing it. Yuugi is brave, he's strong, he's loving, he's the true King of Games and protagonist of this series and it sucks he's overlooked so much.

Aside from him though, I also really love Shizuka. I really wish Takahashi had used her more instead of primarily having her be a source of motivation for Jounouchi and not much else.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

You know it's the King Bitch himself, my man Hirutani. I gave this man a given name, I gave him a family backstory and history, I've given him interests and career goals (illicit as they may be), so on and so forth, and yet he only appeared in four chapters out of a 350+ chapter manga. To be fair to me, in those four chapters he was completely obsessed with my favorite character, to the point where it is not a stretch to say that he's yandere for Jounouchi. But still. He never even appears in the most popular anime adaptation, he barely makes appearances in the video games, and yet I'm just completely enamored with him. Like he's a terrible person, absolutely, but I still love him. He's garbage, but he's premium garbage. He's my garbage.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

He's not a problematic fave (that's Hirutani above), but Bakura Ryou. Like actual Bakura, the actual teenage boy who is possessed by the Ring Spirit for the majority of the series. I don't think he's unpopular per se, or controversial, but he is pathetic because, well . . . look at him. Look at how he's treated. His treatment in the anime is absolutely worse (because the anime studio doesn't give two shits about anyone who isn't Kaiba or Atem, but especially Kaiba), but even in the manga Takahashi mainly just uses him as a vessel / device to get the Ring Spirit places. He starts off strong by regaining his agency during the TRPG by stabbing his hand through the castle spire, but once he gives the Ring Spirit permission to possess him again in Duelist Kingdom, it's basically all over for him. So yes, he is a poor little meow meow. He deserved better than what he got.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Honestly my answer to this differs depending on what the reason is, because there is a 474 page novel that is basically me putting my favorite character through hell for the vast majority of it, for plot (and also hurt/comfort) reasons. And that's not even the only time I've done that to him. I'm so sorry Jounouchi, I really do sincerely love you.

But if we're talking about putting them through the plinko because they either deserve the torment or because it would be funny, then I'd have to say Kaiba or Haga. Kaiba because he is an absolute dickhead who deserves it, and Haga because he's an absolute shithead who deserves it and also it's funny whenever he gets comeuppance for the shit he does. (I hate the anime as a general rule, but the "MONSTER CARD" scene from the Orichalcos arc is perfect in both Japanese and English.)

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

All of the dads deserve to go here. All of them. There is not a single good dad in this series. The closest we get is Hanasaki's dad, but even he fucks up (though at least he has good intentions). So maybe he gets a pass, but otherwise? Jounouchi's dad, Gozaburo, Malik's dad, Otogi's dad—eeby deeby, eeby deeby, eeby deeby. None of them are free of sin.

Oh, and Akhenaden. Man literally committed genocide to create some ugly, cursed jewelry / knick-knacks. If that doesn't earn him a spot in superhell then I don't know what does.

[sage-nebula]

Def Jounouchi and Alan, as other ppl have already pointed out x)

I am immensely proud that this is my legacy, and I say that genuinely.

[sage-nebula]

That meme not having a pink option is an attack against me =( Sooo, blue?

I'm sorry. =( But at least blue is still a great color!!

what do you do when you’re sad?

I usually try to distract myself with a game, or online video, or book or something. It's difficult for me because chronic severe depression means that my mood has the potential to dip low at any given point for absolutely no reason at all, but when I hit one of those emotional slumps there's nothing for it but to ride it out, and distraction usually helps the time pass by faster. It might not be the best coping mechanism in the world, but it works for me. (Also sometimes I do give in and cry, but I really don't like doing that because crying makes me all congested and is messy, haha. So I usually try not to cry too much.)

what are some things you do when you can’t sleep?

Toss. Turn. Stare into space. Try to think of a story I can write in my head that will put me to sleep that doesn't just make me stay up writing it instead. Oftentimes just give up and end up going on my phone or something because after 3 hours of staring into the darkness, clearly the phone isn't the problem. Delayed sleep phase disorder means this is my reality most nights. =(

what was the best (non-romantic) night you’ve had?

I've had so many good nights that it's hard to pick just one! Hmm, but for some reason the night we went out for yakiniku near the end of our stay in Japan comes to mind. I remember we passed by some concert that was being held on our way back, and the sky and weather were just perfect that evening too. It was really nice. ♥

what kind of covers do you have on your bed?

I have a grey weighted blanket. It actually has a textured navy blue cover that goes on it, but I got annoyed because the blanket kept bunching up to one side of the cover and not laying even, so that, combined with the summer heat, made me take the cover off months ago and I just never put it back on.

who is the last person you told a secret to?

Either my dog or my friend SB, I think! Not sure which.

Thanks for asking!

[sage-nebula]

you wrote "nothing but unrefrigerated women in my AU" and all my dumb brain could do is wonder, when you write fic where fridged characters survive, could you say they're "thawed characters"? ..I'll see myself out

HONESTLY . . . I think that's legit. If you put them in the refrigerator and then later bring them out, then we can call them thawed. In my fics that wouldn't exactly work since they weren't fridged in the first place, but I think that would be good for like, fix-it fics where they're brought back from the dead. It works!
