my favorite fates author is reblogging things from me i’m actually going to pass out

[kimium]

Yes! All of this! I am so excited to help you answer this ask! I know I haven't shared as many Saw AU ideas here on Tumblr, but I want everyone to know I am as deep into the creation of this AU as my friend @m34gs!

I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the anon who sent an ask about Rollo and the Saw AU! It might take a little while for me to answer, because I was so busy this October with writing for Whumptober that I actually haven't caught up in the Glorious Masquerade event yet, and I want to have a better grasp on Rollo's character first (and the chance to discuss with @kimium; my friend and co-creator of the Saw AU)! But I definitely plan to answer you! Thank you so much for your ask and I hope you see this and know that I'm not ignoring you💜💜💜

The first words out of Niles’ mouth when he opened the door were, “Why do you smell like baby oil?” Owain refused to blush. If the room suddenly got warmer, that was a side effect of a magical curse that affected him periodically. “This fragrance is part of the aesthetic of a new character I am trying out.” Niles looked down. His gaze lingered on the gray stains on Owain’s black jeans. “Oh, you were rolling out clay today, huh?” “The oil made of children—” “Made for children.” “—is quite adequate for keeping the sticky tendrils of this material we deem ‘clay’ from sticking to skin.”

Here's my annual holiday gift fic for @kimium! I followed the prompt "modern au featuring Owain’s dioramas and Leo/Niles fighting to have space in their house.” But also, this is a little to the left of that prompt because they aren't moved in yet and also Owain is a YouTuber who makes anime/video game/original dioramas out of garbage for money. I hope you all enjoy!

I’d love to hear your favourite headcanons for Chrom/Robin in Fire Emblem 👀💜

Hello friend! Thanks for this ask! As many know, my favourite ship from Fire Emblem Awakening (and probably the entire franchise) is Chrobin! Male or female Robin, it doesn't matter to me. Sadly, I don't have many head canons for them. However, I have some individual character head canons for them. M34GS said it's fine for me to talk about those in place.

Also, I'm going to talk both canon ideas and modern AU ideas.

My head canons about Chrobin + some character head canons

Chrom and Robin are an Adorable Couple / Sickeningly Sweet

Chrom is already a himbo (see: him canonically eating an unpeeled orange) and a fantastic leader. Couple that with Robin's tactical mind and thoughtfulness, and I think these two are an adorable couple. They're the kind who are always thinking of one another, checking up on their well-being, and offering to help. Acts of service are probably their go-to ways to show affection as both are busy people.

This also ties into a joke I had with ObscureReference where if this is modern AU, Chrom is the one live tweeting at some sort of gala how much he misses Robin and wants to leave to be with them. They accidentally spawn the internet Screaming about "Relationship Goals" and "Get yourself a spouse who -insert whatever Chrom and Robin are doing to publicly display their love and affection to one another-" memes.

(Also, the way they interacted in Engage?? Just staring into one another's eyes the entire flipping time?? Their cut scene with Lucina? We get it, you're in LOVE. And speaking of spin off series, I am STILL screaming over their Valentine Alt. Duo Chrom? More like Married Couple Chrobin LOL.)

Chrom and Robin are Super Devoted parents

Due to both of their upbringings being less than ideal (Chrom relying on Emmeryn as a guiding figure rather than their dad. Robin's father being... yeah you know... a worshipper of Grima), I think they fear being bad parents. Especially with the knowledge of the bad timeline. Anyways, I think this means Chrom and Robin try their best to be great parents to Lucina and Morgan. Canonically this means making sure they have the childhood they were denied in the bad timeline. In a modern AU this means being involved in their lives, such as taking them to Lucina's soccer games or Morgan's science fairs, etc.

Modern AU idea only: Robin is lowkey possessed by Grima

Another joke I have with ObscureReference, we are both loving the idea of Robin being possessed by Grima. They share a body in a similar style to Itadori and Sukuna from JJK. Except in this joke, Grima is like a surly cat who Demands Worship and Attention, so basically a mild inconvenience. Robin is possessed by Grima? Yeah, old news to everyone. They just take Robin spewing black miasma out of his mouth with a shrug.

Chrom runs warm

There isn't too much to this one. I think Chrom runs very warm and is perfect for Robin to snuggle and cuddle.

And that's about it, sorry! I don't want to just make things up on the spot to pad this out, but I had fun talking about my favourite couple!

I Got Your Oak Wisdom Right Here, Buddy.

https://thegroupwbench.blogspot.com/2021/10/i-got-your-oak-wisdom-right-here-buddy.html

My brother Shell called me for my birthday.

During the call, I threw out a new Dad-riff idea:  "Dad as a Druid."

He ran with it immediately.

"Oh, sure, the holly berry is sacred - because it's growing on my trees, you damn moochers."

"Goddamn squirrel chewing the thatch of my hut. I cast spells, it does nothing.  Damn squirrel won't listen."

"I shoulda listened to my father and joined the warrior class."

I contributed:

"The goddamn sacred pool is full of goddamn flies, because the goddamn birds aren't doing their job."

Later in the day, when my brother Stringer called, and I updated him on these gags, he responded, "Well, now I have my next character for D&D."

Dug out one of the old ‘O’ Level exam papers. Pretty tough - and this was only question 1. By question 17 they were asking which digits of pi were the same as Arthur Askey’s phone number. . . #obscurereference #thesedays #arthuraskey #gce #olevel #olevels #exampaper #maths #mathsexam #pi #samplequestions #mathematics #comprehension #education #historyofeducation #uk https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvYzE9ABx2/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Your rubbing is excessive—” Laslow froze like a toddler caught sneaking a cookie. “—and your eyes appear unfocused. Were you struck in the head?” Laslow removed his fist from his eye, then hesitated and went back to rubbing. “No, sire, I am not injured.” “Then why do you keep touching your eyes like a tired child?” Or: Fully assimilating into a fantasy world is hard. So is keeping your cover.

Happy Birthday, @kimium!!! (Albeit like 6 hours early, lol). I hope you have a wonderful birthday!! And hope you enjoy this fic as an early present!

For everyone else, I hope you enjoy this gen fic of Modern Trio trying to pretend to be Normal Fantasy People, lol.

(Faves & Fandoms Ask Game) 🌂🌹 🔥

(From this ask HERE)

Oh! Thanks for the ask, friend!!!

🌂You have to choose three fiction characters to help you survive in the apocalypse, who are you picking?

Since this doesn't specify what kind of apocalypse, I'm going to go with the general "society has tumbled apart for some reason that's not supernatural ones". Also, everyone here has their full abilities from their series.

Senku from Dr. Stone - Obviously, my first pick is Senku given his scientific knowledge and ability to know how to create/make things to help us survive. His knowledge is invaluable and plus, his goal to rebuild society in his own series can help in this situation. It isn't just about surviving; it's about finding a solution too!

Rimuru from That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime - With practically infinite abilities and power, Rimuru can help out in a variety of ways. Also, Rimuru magically attracts people with specialized abilities meaning we'll have more people eventually to help out!

Kurama from YYH - I picked Kurama because I thought having a second fighter who is also gifted in negotiation would be helpful. Kurama also can grow any plant meaning many resources can be used on the fly should any emergency happen.

🌹 What's a small fanbase you're a part of?

Good question! While there are many series I could point to I think I want to bring attention to the series To Your Eternity. It's so good and thoughtful and makes me want to cry all the time. It's fantastic and everyone should watch it.

🔥 Name a crackship, now convince me why it would work!

Look, my only crackship I truly can attempt convincing people of is Anankos/Trio. The problem is I've already convinced you to why that's a superior ship and you're already locked in this tug boat with me and ObscureReference. But in case anyone else is here and doesn't know...

Anankos/Awakening Trio (Severa, Inigo, and Owain) is a great ship. Anankos is dying. He knows he only has so much magic and energy left before he's taken over by the rot that ensnares all dragons in FE. However, he needs someone to find his long lost child even if it means he is dead before he can see them again.

So instead of... asking someone like Lilith or maybe someone in Nohr or Hoshido... the man PULLS three warriors from ANOTHER DIMENSION and begs them to aid him. He also needs them to drink his dragon blood... for magic purposes and not intimate, kinky reasons, he swears.

Yeah, okay it's the DLC for Fates that got me to ship them. Look. There is no way that Anankos wasn't at least a bit attracted to the Trio. They're cute, hot, and compassionate! And Anankos isn't hard on the eyes either! It's the perfect set up!

Plus, when he's corrupted he can be Evil and Possessive and that's always a bit hot, right??
