#and i chose my fav monster probably

[originalwinnerfanfish]

Well, I did it

Megatron - I love his tfp design. Probably one of the best iteration of Megs. He is huge, heavy armoured, his face covered with scars… He doesn’t looks like an ordinary military leader who is only capable of giving orders, but like real warrior who can destroy any enemy with his bare hands.

So, in the WOF version, he definitely shares some features with Princess Burn, not only because of his might, but also because of his horns shape and dirty-dark scales (that absorbed blood of his enemies)

Starscream - Boy, I hate him so much 🤣… but in the good way, trust me! In my opinion, when the show's creators make you feel such strong negative emotions towards a villain, it means they've done a great job. Also, I think that his animation in the show was absolutely incredible, because even though he's a 3D model, he still manages to move like a 2D character, which is amazing!

I feel that in my design he still looks more like a skywing, than an icewing (which is kinda logical)

Soundwave - This one was tricky. I couldn't figure out what his mask would look like, so I just made his face a really dark color. I think Soundwave has both gifts of the nightwings, and he’s equally great at telepathy and a future vision. So he doesn't really need equipment to predict enemy movements, which makes him an ideal communicator in the WOF setting. His Laserbeak is part of the armor enchanted by Shockwave, and it might also allow him to open portals (but I'm not sure with this one)

Shockwave - My favourite evil genius. He would definitely have animus magic and mind reading. I think Shockwave is the only one who has advanced the study of magic so far, precisely because he combined it with scientific knowledge and created safer methods of using it, that don't damage the mind. It's like if a Mastermind got animus magic in books.

I also like to think that he didn't heal the damaged part of his face just so that his enemies would fear him more)

Dreadwing - This man deserved better! It's really a shame that he was removed from the show so quickly due to financial problems. It would be great if his arc got a proper conclusion in season 3.

Considering that I didn't want to make him a hybrid, it was difficult to choose a suitable color palette. So let’s just say, that I tried my best😅

I don’t think that he would have any nightwing powers, but honestly it doesn’t even matter - this guy can make a bombs, what else does he need to be cool

Arachnid - Did anyone even doubt that she would be a hivewing? Damn, she even got her own “Othermind” virus. Her design was the easiest to work with - just a little poisonous ass (suspiciously similar to Maleficent).

Just like Starscream, I hate her, but in a good way. She's one of the creepiest characters in the entire series, who’s acting like a fucking heartless monster, especially with Arcee, but even so, there's always was something mesmerizing about her. I just really like strong female villains

Knockout - Wery bright and charismatic guy, definitely one of my fav cons!

I tried to draw him as handsome as possible. Worked a lot on the face shape and coloring, and as for me it turned out pretty nice (finally).

Most decepticons think Knockout is as stupid and lazy as all the other rainwings. And it's not like he completely disagrees with that. Of course he’s not stupid and lazy, but if it’s means less dirty work on the battlefield, well, he’ll continue act like a tipical rainwing

(I also believe that Megatron keeps him as an “art”)

Breakdown - Fun fact: "Operation Breakdown" was the very first thing I saw in this series. And it was an interesting experience for 8 year old me. Maybe that's why I'm so scared of eye gouging scenes in movies now…

I think that he didn't have any siblings initially due to his parents nature, and even after meeting Bulkhead, he felt uncomfortable among the other mudwings. And this is why he later chose the side of the decepticons. And maaaaybe because of one cute rainwing influence)

P.s.

I think that, being mostly nightwings and icewings, the decepticons are much more concerned about purity of their blood and rarely accept half-breeds into their ranks.

During the war, there were many animus dragons among decepticons, which is why they have so many artifacts that allowed teleportation and communication at a distance. But, honestly, I still can't imagine what Nemesis would look like in this AU

Could you write an analysis about *the* dress Cardan commissioned for Jude to wear at Dain's coronation? I'd love to read your thoughts on why he did it and the dress itself! 💖

jude’s coronation dress, and why cardan sent it analysis

hi! yes! thank you for the ask!

ah yes 🚬 the infamous coronation dress.

firstly let’s start w the how.

madoc is the grand general and very influential yaddah yaddah, it makes sense for him to share the same seamstress as the greenbriar family. this seamstress is also tight w dain, so cardan having access to her makes sense.

i’d assume he’d sketched out the deign he wanted and just gave it to the seamstress. but me personally, i’d die if he personally chose out the colors thinking, “this would suit my future wife’s color palette fs!”

as for what it looks like:

it’s ombre, and described as dark indigo at the bottom, to pale blue, then white at the top. there is a silhouette of trees that that start at the bottom and move upwards. there are gems sewn on that resemble stars in the night sky. i WISH the actually shape of the dress was designed, just for the visual ig lol

when locke sees the dress, he says jude is beautiful, like a winter night.

now the design (my fav little detail that ppl seem to forget) is actually a view jude can see from her balcony/window!!!

so, perceive that how you want, but me personally, i def think cardan was obsessed w her enough to 1 know where her balcony is(from locke ig) and 2 watch her from it (just a hc but 👅👅👅)

as for the why. i think deep down cardan had started to realize that even he wasn’t a complete monster asshat that wanted to kill jude for making him want to kiss her so bad, and he started to want to almost apologize, but w out showing weakness. so he sent that dress anonymously.

i mean, we already know that by this point he knows he desires her, and he knows that he doesn’t want to hurt her and see her humiliated.

i think it’s mostly sweet bc from his pov, he knew that jude would assume the dress was from locke, but he sent it anyway. or maybe, since locke was going to declare himself as taryns man at the coronation, that jude would have to guess she had some other secret admirer waiting for her once she finished w locke.

he also knew that taryn was screwing her over w locke, and i think he could really relate to that (lockes an asshole) and didn’t want to see her humiliated. (both are canon so it makes sense)

so he sent her an extravagant dress, like the ones liriope wore, to spare jude from the embarrassment of having her twin steal her man.

another reason i think he did this was for protection. it’s mentioned directly after the dresses come that they must be careful at dains coronation so this is pretty plausible.

i recall the commission for judes original dress being red and covered w madocs crest. but the fact that she is a human, and wearing the crest of a noble household, would make her seem like a slave to the other courtiers at the coronation.

so commissioning a grand dress, one worthy of the high courts gentry, would make it seem as though were one of the high courts courtiers, and would make those that want to hurt her probably hesitate to do so, bc why does this human girl have this expensive ass dress? they’d think that she must be important or atleast well cared for.

another detail abt the dress is that nicasia knew cardan sent it. now she says this in qon, so we don’t actually know when she found out that cardan sent it. she could’ve known in tcp, maybe she caught cardan sending it off or making the sketch? or maybe she found the sketch and then later saw jude wearing that dress? she could’ve found out in twk, or when jude was in exile, etc. we may never know.

but i still think it’s sorta bittersweet that nicasia knew that cardan loved her.

anyway, cardan is on top as always🫦 thank you for the ask! 🫶🫶🫶 and feel free to add on!

HELLO TODAY I BRINGGG the eggies playing with monster high dolls :D I plan to make another one with empanada and sunny too

Leo's fav is Lagoona bc.. Lagoona is my fav so obviously I had to give her to Leo, but I think it fits perfectly, I can't quite explain it, it's just the vibes.

For Tallulah I chose Frankie bc.. She just looks like a Frankie liker ok, IT FITS, now that I think of it, Venus could have been a rlly good option too but I forgot about her, she's one of my favs I'm so dumb.

And for Pomme, I kinda struggled bc I mostly watch Foolish and Roier's pov so I don't see her often (sad, i love her) BUT I thought of Robecca, another one of my favs, since Robecca is literally steampunk personified, thought it would fit Pomme bc she'd remind her of her dad, qPierre :D i saw a clip compilation of those two and they're so cute. I could have gone with Rochelle since she's french but that would have been too easy, still, i think Pomme loves her.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, Sunny would so be a Cleo and Clawdeen liker, she'd make her dad buy all of their dolls, and Empanada is 100% a Draculaura enthusiast.

And as a bonus, Richas and Pepito like playing with their sisters, Pepito takes care of the dolls with his LIFE, he just poses them very carefully and brushes their hair softly bc he doesn't wanna break his sister's dolls, on the other side, Richas makes the dolls wrestle, loses their accessories and sometimes breaks them on accident bc they wrestled too hard.

Sometimes Sunny and Em force Ramón to play with them too when they're on sleepovers, he acts like he hates it but internally, he loves playing with his sisters. Eventually he'll accept it and be happy to play with them whenever, probably also making them dolls wrestle against Richas'.

Maglor and Maedhros + (2) favorite canon thing about these characters!

Thank you for the ask!

Kidnap fam! I know it is easy to simplify and to use kidnap fam fluff to ignore the atrocities... And I sometimes do this. But, to not write the same thing twice, let me quote my own post:

If Maglor used pragmatic common sense and said “What difference will killing two more kids make, I’m a monster anyway”, we wouldn’t have Elrond. Not ever, because he became immortal after Maglor spared his life. We wouldn’t have Rivendell, and without Elrond’s help, how would the Ring thing go? Probably much worse. Also, we wouldn’t have Elros on the throne. And some other king, a line of kings not descending from a man who actually chose the Gift of Men freely and accepted it wholeheartedly. We might have Numenor falling, tempted by their long lives and closeness of Valinor, much earlier and without external help.

(Or Maedhros. I don't have a solid preference about which canon is canon: was Maedhros a kidnap dad too, or indifferent, or whatever. )

Also, another, but connected, favorite thing about Maglor is that he actually wanted to end the Silmaril situation in the right* way (by talking and trusting the Valar's judgment), but, sadly, Maedhros decided against it.

Also, the extremely enigmatic line in the Silm "Maglor was wed" and no further info with whom and how it went.

\* I am aware this opinion is controversial.

OK, those were more "fav thing about Maglor". What's my favorite canon thing about Maedhros?

The song-rescue situation. I love this trope. Oh, and he asked Feanor to not burn the ships, iirc.

But anyway Maedhros is more in the "I'm so sad for them" category than in the "they're so cool" category of characters for me. :(

[oliviawebsite]

If you would be so kind, what are the answers to 6 (top 3 npcs), 8 (top 3 areas), 18 (top 3 soundtracks), and 37 38 (what is your least favorite thing about each game)? :D

omg thank u for including the prompts in the ask so i dont have to keep looking back at the list i love u for that. anyway

6) Lucatiel from ds2, Djura from bloodborne, and of course u knowwww I gotta give a slot to dark daughter gwyndolin for reasons most obvious. honroable mentions for lady maria and sellen

8) i unironically think Caelid is fucking dope in the way its designed like the Vibe is unreal especially when u first show up there. Irithyll in ds3 does a similar thing where you come outta the cave leading back to the catacombs and see this blinding crystalline castle town type area that seems permanently frozen in place. Like eleum loyce from ds2 if it was actually good. Last on my list is gonna have to go for another ds3 location and im technically combining 2 zones into one but the whole dlc sequence from the dreg heap to the ringed city is so so cool to me. demonstrates a familiar world in ruins and reinforces the idea that all of the games occur in parallell realities without being TOO on the nose about it (it is funny that they chose to make earthen peak from ds2 the recognizable structure to signal this. like they knew everyone hated that place and wanted to say "we hear you so here it is again but its collapsed and mostly ash now"

18) Ebrietas theme is my fav overall its the most perfect situational use of a whole tone scale ice ever heard. Elden Beast theme is also rly good tonally like youve done all this fighting and buildup to see this sad bastard monster and the music conveys a sense of "poor guy :( so sad. but you do have to kill him". similar to gwyns theme in that way but the orchestration of elden beasts theme seals the deal for me. third one im going back to bloodborne. marias theme is fucking cool it feels like a really tense dance and matches the flow of the boss fight so nicely. also a sucker for them interpolating bell tower noises to highlight her position as the clocktowers guardian. plus shes hot.

38) my least favorite areas are probably in line with most others opinions on the matter. demon ruins sucks big time and has one of the worst bosses ever waiting for you at the end (and the bonfire run thru lava and dragon asses and those tentacle freaks is a miserable slog), faron keep was always kind of a sore spot in ds3 runs for me. you can handle the sludge using the dagger weapon art i just think its weird that it briefly turns into a zelda dungeon asking you to light some torches and those goddamb jumping guys ohhhh the jumping guys..fuck off! my third choice goes to valley of defilement in demon souls. everyobe says blighttown is the worst swamp zone but theyve clearly never had to slog thru the valley of defilement lol. i get that its supposed to be dark n murky but good fucking god man

The issue with the first Zombies movie:

Haha cool subject for a first post-

Listen up though:

Originally my friend and I watched the Zombies triology whilst looking for *bad* Disney movies. Those were exactly what we were looking for, but despite this, I think I can proudly say that those movies are now my comfort movies.

We have watched them several times, analysed them too. I'd like to expose a theory of ours explaining why Disney could've created this series, and why - considering the given reason to the Zombies creation is correct - Disney has failed to it.

(spoilers alert)

The first Zombies movie is about this perfect town which, after a nuclear accident, got half its inhabitants got turned into flesh eating creatures: zombies. Terrifying right? Well anyways, let me reassure you, this is not a horror movie. In fact this story is about acceptance.

The story takes place 50 years after this horrifying incident. The town is now cut in half by a wall and the zombies, who now have z-bands to help them control their thirst for brain, are passive yet mistreated creatures. In fact, appart from their pale skin and green hair, there is not much that differentiates them from human beings. We learn, thanks to dear Zed, that for the past 50 years(I believe) zombies have been treated like inferior creatures; they got their own schools(in undergrounds), worst jobs, uniforms, and a curfew.

Any of this familiar in any way..? Well I think one could believe that this segregation imposed to the Zombies is the proof needed to say that zombies represent colored people. In other words Zombies(1) is a movie about racism and how it is wrong and how we should all live together-

This is a great message that will probably never be said enough, but the issue here is what characters Disney chose to share it.

Disney chose to use zombies - genuinely DANGEROUS, man-eating MONSTERS who need z-bands(objects made by humans (white people)) to control themselves from going on a rampage - to share a message of anti racism and equality. Another thing that slightly bothers me here is the fact that both of the main characters are very much white (shoutout to white-boy of the month Zed and to Little miss perfect Addison) and both them have ONE black best friend (Eliza and Bree).

Now Disney, if you want to talk about equality and how wrong racism is, please don't get the two most caucasian people you could think of as your main characters.

Anyways the ending is alright since everyone becomes friends and zombies are finally accepted (which is really quick considering they have been feared and hated for the past 50 years. It's disney though, so don't think about it too hard)

There is more to say about this but i don't want this post to be too long. I'll talk about the 2nd and 3rd movie too (another time) but I think if you follow my logic here it should be easy enough to guess what I'll be talking about there. Can't wait to do that and other stuff qgxjbsnxvsjxh. Anyways now looks at them our fav mcs:

Despite all I said don't get me wrong, I love these two with all my heart. They're a great couple and pretty neat mcs. (*screams* I can't wait to talk about Wyatt and Bucky-)

[stevethehairington]

20 and 50 for the ST asks

helllooo!! i am SOOO sorry for such a late response omg.

i hope i got the right ask game here lol but i'm preeeety sure i did.

20. favorite emotional moment?

i definitely have to go with robin's coming out scene for this one. there are several other good emotional moments throughout the show, but this one really takes the cake for me because it's just SUCH a good one!!! and it's not very often that we get a gem of a coming out scene like this one, it's just so well done, and i could really go on and on about the scene. PLUS it sort of solidified thee platonic soulmates, like, from this point on they are IT for each other in that sense, yknow? and steve and robin's friendship is truly one of my favorite things about the show.

50. top five absolute fav things about stranger things in general?

ooh hm well i suppose:

the friendships!! there is such a huge focus on friendship in this show and i LOVED that so much. i feel like the show has sort of strayed a little bit from this in the later seasons, but oh man, season 1? that shit HITS, the friendships there are SO good, they're SO strong. like the party? i love that little group of kids!! they're so ride or die already!! they clearly love each other a lot! and then when el and max join the group, they become Part Of The Team too and i love them and i love their specific friendship too! and steve and robin my favorite dynamic duo!!! there is TRULY no other platonic soulmate best friendship out there like theirs, it's something special. and also the kids' friendships with steve (especially dustin!!!) it's SO good!!

the vibes are just so good too. like i was born after the 80s lol but there is still SUCH a sense of nostalgia with this show, again especially in that first season! there's just something about a bunch of kids riding around on bikes fighting monsters that hits different yknow?

steve's character arc!!! steve is probably my favorite character of the whole show and just the way they did his arc is one of my absolute favorite things ever because they did it so WELL. like, asshole popular jock who realizes that he's wrong and realizes that he fucked up and actually puts in the effort to fix what he did and to make things right and to mean it too, that's just SO GOOD. THAT is how you do a redemption arc. i just love steve so much, he deserves his whole entire own bullet point here lol.

i feel like if i give steve a whole entire bullet point for himself i HAVE to give eddie a whole entire bullet point too because that man.... well, he changed the whole entire game. like i've said it before but i was just a casual fan before s4 - watched when new seasons came out, talked with friends about it, but i was not part of the fandom. like i didn't look through the tags, or reblog a whole lot outside of the occasional gifset or smth, and i certianly didn't write or create any of my own content/hcs/etc. but THEE second that eddie munson walked onto that screen he stole my god damn life from me. that guy dragged me over the edge of that boat and right through the watergate with him because once i saw him i was HOOKED and i did not look back. so yeah, it's entirely eddie's fault that i am here today and i adore every single thing about him and what he stands for and who he is and i wont get into it because this post will really never end but i am SO disappointed with what they did with him and how they chose to *end his character arc (*clown shoes are FIRMLY on tho bc i am honk honk fully onboard with the we have not seen the last of eddie munson train soooo lol).

the absolutely incredible fantastic wonderful beautiful amazing inspiring awesome ridiculous epic EVERYTHING that everyone has created in response to this show. i love stranger things, i do, but we all know that there are certain things - characters, relationships, arcs, plotlines, etc. - that have missed the mark, that could have been better, that could have gone a different way. and it is the fans, it is the writers, it is the artists, it is the gif makers, it is the editors, it is EVERYONE who puts their heart and soul into creating for this fandom that fills in those gaps, that fixes things, that takes these characters we know and love and breathes even more life into them, takes them to new places, lets them explore things they deserve to explore. i will forever be grateful to everyone in this fandom because of this!!! it's incredible and it's the best part of the whole show, truly.

Hi! Happy Halloween 🎃. Hope you're having an amazing day

🐣 i choose : A 19

🐣Two emojis of my choice: 🪶🐕‍🦺(they wanted to come so...)

🐣My favourite Halloween monsters: We don't celebrate Halloween here. But I like fae alot and also werewolves. There's a funny story behind werewolves(well i think of it as funny. Now. But then it scared me)

It was in 2015 when I got introduced to werewolves and vampires for the first time. I was 14 then. I saw a video on YouTube and then I searched them up online. And read few things about them. And on that specific night the dogs were howling pretty bad. I mean PRETTY BAD. I was so afraid that I thought a werewolf might come and bite me because I learnt about them. With this thought in mind i didnot sleep the entire night. 2015 was a crazy year for me...

🐣What's your favorite halloween monster? Do you celebrate Halloween?

Thank you so much for hosting the game!

With love,

Wingaardium-levoisaa 💛

Hello and thanks for joining Well I bet it felt scary! I like werewolves too but I learnt about the windigo not too long ago and, it's not an Halloween-monster, but it literally became my fav legendary creature. I don't celebrate Halloween but I watch some related-movies during these days. Thanks for asking!

You chose my personal deck (A); question: 19. What are you manifesting

You're manifesting changes. Positive changes, and I think something related to love (1515 angel number). My heart chakra and solar plexus are clenching TBH. You're manifesting success, the end of blockages, new ideas and more happiness and confidence. You're trying to close outside the noise on your head, to gain more clarity in your thoughts... you're manifesting freedom from all that is caging you, physically and mentally. You are literally starting to take action to make these change come to reality, probably even through affirmations. But indeed it's also about finding connections that are right for you. The main focus though is about being free, open, learning to be your real self with no fear. Speaking up when needed.

Feels very good tbh. All the best

[musclesandhammering]

Supernatural Opinions That’ll Have Me Burned At The Stake Pt 1.

• John Winchester is more sympathetic than Dean.

• Literally every single angel in the series (except maybe Ishim) had 100% justifiable and understandable motives, and none of them were genuinely evil.

• The demons deserved 97% more sympathy than they got (yes, all of them) because they were literally tortured into being the way they are.

• The hunters on the show are the real villains. The supernatural creatures were just existing as they instinctually should have.

• There was absolutely no reason to bring Mary back at all, and they 100% only did it to provide Dean specifically with more personal Angst. Because everything’s about Dean.

• They did Bela so so dirty and there was no reason at all that 432 other boring ass characters got storyline after storyline and resurrection after resurrection when she didn’t even get mentioned post-death #1.

• Anything to do with Ben/Lisa/Dean was legit just the most boring thing I’ve ever seen, like I literally skipped past those parts cause I cared 0% about any of that.

• Claire was cool at first but they put everything into making her a mini-Dean and she ended up being a whiny annoying rude trying-too-hard-to-look-badass mess (surprise surprise).

• Alex was way more likeable and interesting than Claire, she should’ve gotten the lead storyline in that arc.

• The whole Claire/Kaia thing was nice from a representation standpoint I guess but there was zero chemistry and only like 2 scenes of lead-up and the entire time I was just thinking “what in the hell are they supposedly falling in love for, this feels so forced” lmao.

• Metatron was my fav even before his big redemptive scene, I stanned one petty weirdo full-stop all the way through his dicking around with Cas and everything, y’all simply do not have Taste.

• Same with Amara. Loved her even when she wanted to destroy the known universe. Stanned her. Supported her, even. And also she had an incredibly heartbreaking and sympathetic and dynamic storyline, but some of y’all couldn’t see the substance in her cause you were too busy being pissed that she flirted with your trash monster (Dean).

• I’m very sorry, but Charlie was annoying as all shit.

• Not only did Dean abuse Cas, but Dean abused Sam literally throughout the entire show, from the very first scene.

• Speaking of Sam, he’s probably the most caring, kind, empathetic, genuinely good person on the entire show. He’s an actual cinnamon roll, and every single person that holds him even 1% accountable for the leaving for college thing, or the demon blood thing, or the not looking for Dean in purgatory thing… y’all can eat my shorts.

• Cas was better friends with Sam than he ever was with Dean. They have more of a profound bond too. He was ordered to rescue Dean from Hell and had an army of other angels with him, but he chose to rescue Sam and went in completely alone. If that’s not more profound idk what is.

• I like Balthazar better than Gabriel, fight me on it.

• Hannah and Cas were actually hella cute together. And so were Cas and Meg.

• The Winchesters did not deserve Crowley. They also didn’t deserve Rowena.

• Sam and Dean aren’t actually heroes at all tbh because 75% of all the major apocalyptic problems that have happened on the show was literally their fault. And they almost never solved said problems themselves. They coerced supernatural beings into doing it for them.

• I liked the angels way better in season 4, when they were terrifying mythical beings of eldritch proportions that even the demons were scared of. Held more gravity, I think.

• After Bobby was killed off, the whole vibe of the show kinda fell apart. Like the team/family feeling was just never quite there after that, and it sorta killed it for me tbh.

• Chuck being a mega douche wasn’t the mind blowing plot twist they thought it was. Like that was predictable. It would’ve been more meta and more unsettling and more profound if, instead of being a raging narcissist, he had been portrayed as they described him in season 4/5- an actual father/creator that was jaded with his creation. He still could’ve been absent and all, just not a total heartless jerk.

• I didn’t even watch half of seasons 7-8 like wow that was not interesting in the slightest.

• Season 2 was also dull as hell, but it gets bonus points for the gritty midwestern horror aesthetic. 10/10 immaculate vibes.

• Anything past season 10 I just picked out the Cas episodes to watch and I didn’t even really love those :/.

• I don’t like how the storylines started getting too big for their britches around season 11 or so. Like purgatory and heaven and hell and the apocalypse, ok sure. But alternate dimensions? Heavenly extinction? God’s literal sister? Babe you’re just a cute lil country show from the CW go back to drunks killing vampires.

• This whole series actually started being trash less than halfway through, and the only reason it stayed on so long was because die-hard fans were invested enough to subject themselves to mental and emotional torture week after week just to stay loyal to their old favourite show.

[lovely-oh-so-lovelyyui]

Hello darling, you know we want to know more about Sai'rish and Sarfaraz

We want to know everything

Age, pronouns, favourite colour, who's human and who's not

The pretty ocs are conquering the world ✊️

Sai’rish Venedum-Mortiferous

Sairish is dying but used to be a popular name within Islamic regions such as the middle east and southern Asia. The name itself means many things but its core is magical and glamorous.

She’s a viboran noble lady ( bastard child) and her other side is hidden for now.

Sai adores her name; it came purely from her mother, with no influence from her father or grandmother. The meaning that it’s a needed sunrise in times of darkness, that she herself means something mystical and beautiful. Adores it. Flattery gets you everywhere with home-girl.

Her nickname is Sai. others: sweetheart, birdie and scumbag.

Age immortal, however, she’s mainly written about from when she was young to her early twenties. 

On the other hand if I ever write a modern au she’s probably 37/39.

Again, how old she looks depends on when I’m writing her. But she’s one of those girls that’s adorable as a child, a literal doll but she grows up a bit too fast. You can see the maturity in her face, soon enough she always looks a couple of years older than she is.

Eye colour is this beautiful green, it’s striking, and it lulls your senses before she does strike.

She’s a blind bat, okay jokes her eyesight is fine. I just think it’d be funny if in the modern au shu or ayato try to show her something and she has to squint and go let me put on my glasses before she has any clue what’s going on.

Pretty girl she is, the beauty standard of regency. She’s a 5’5, curvy girl, all soft and warm. Every time she puts on that custom-made corset you know no one can raise their eyes past her collar bones.

She’s my pretty brown girl, beautiful bronze skin, think Rebecca Steam from monster high.

Her hair! Omg her hair. A big part of her mother’s race, the longer, thicker, shinier your hair is more people croon over you. It’s like the only beauty standard they really have. She has these thick goldilocks waves but she has shiny black hair, that looks red in the sunlight. It falls to the back of her thighs, since she’s unmarried, when she’s a child it’s kept in 2 braids over high on her head and falls majestically down her back, decorated with pearl pins. As she grows older she has these two braids that coil like snakes till they join together in a braid over her shoulder.

It’s this gorgeous thick braid, with multiple little strands braided, decorated with gold chains and amulets and strung with pearls and emeralds.

Whilst viboras don’t really care for leaving their hair open or not, very rarely will you see sai doing it because it is seen as unclassy or of lower standing even.   Again very rarily will you see it strung with flowers as its a sign of prostitutes where her mothers from.

There is however a special garland of flowers that she can attach to her hair but that's on the day she gets married.

And yeah, she makes her maids untie every single braid, comb it, oil and perfume it and tie it again before bed, only to wake up and comb it and wash it before tying it again. 

Current fav song: superbass by nicki minaj

Sarfaraz Ferdous von Nuremburg ( sarfaraz ferdous)

Oh he’s a sad little bastard but what can you do? He tends to discard the von Nuremburg part of his name even though it's on his passport and his birth certificate.

Human. 

Sarfaraz’s and his family are big romantics at heart. His name is another pretty popular islamic name, often meaning respected, blessed,king or pride. But the reason his father chose it was because it can also mean compassionate.

Ferdous is from his mothers side, it means heaven as it is literally on of the seven levels of heaven in islam. 

Sarfaraz likes his name, he doesn't really have any strong opinions on it, but he has this inexplicable need to live up to it. When he feels numbs or feels hopeless he goes out of his way to be kind or help someone. He feels guilty that his actions are done with an indulgent greedy intention but it keeps him going.

Sararaz doesn't have many nicknames, his parents would call him son or my boy. All the other nicknames he received as a child weren't very nice. Bullying is something he’s seen in the face far too many times.

Age : I write about him through the years but he’s in the same grade as ayato and yui so 16/17?

He looks pretty much his age, however due to his asian heritage. Hair growth is very easy for him so every 3 days or so his stubble is back, give him a week and he has a beard and looks like he can graduate university.

He stays clean shaven though

He’s my little wasian boy, he has these dark grey eyes that look almost black in the dark and pure silver in the light.

He has the slutty black wire glasses but only wears them for his lectures because he’s short-sighted.

My boy is tall, the german genes put him at 6’3 he's around 85/90kg it fluctuates, but he’s your gym bro except he knows how to cook food.

Ah he's a light skin brown kid closest i can think of was the face claim i gave him

You know his hair, it's curly and messy but he's working on it okay. (no literally he's cutting back on groceries to afford his specific shampoo)

He’s kept it long, in ponytails, he’s gotten the buzzcut, he's grown it out again. It is very much symbolic of his state in life. He heard somewhere hair carries trauma. So every time he needs to discard some weight off his chest he trims it. Currently it's at shoulder length in this messy mullet that he’s trying to work out.

The Neighbors Song - TheodoreR

Summary: “I always hear you singing on your balcony every morning, but suddenly you’ve stopped?”

Or the one where Theo annoys Liam every morning with his awful singing until he doesn’t anymore and Liam is even more annoyed. Liam hates every single thing about his mornings -the fact that they happen in the morning alone is enough. The thing Liam hates the most about his mornings though is the terrible voice of the guy who lives below him. He can’t sing for shit and Liam tried to politely let him understand that by throwing flour and water on his balcony, and also by shouting it to him, you can’t sing for shit!, and then by writing it into a note he proceeded to attach to his door, but this Raeken guy just keeps doing it, every single morning, like a fucking rooster. Liam did nothing to deserve this. He probably didn’t do anything to deserve better either to be fair, he doesn’t expect to open his window and be welcomed by some angelic voice singing him good morning, he’d just be happy with nothing. Silence. That’s something Liam can appreciate in mornings. Just some bark from his dog and the sound of his misery and that’s it. But no, god forbid the new guy lets him have that.

Summary: A roommate is defined as “a person with whom one shares a room.”

Theo would say a roommate was more along the lines of, “The person who's the bane of his existence. The weirdo that sleeps for days. The spaz that exercises at 3am. The guy with a revolving door of annoying friends. An insufferable human being that Theo has no control over living in his room.”

Example: Theo hates his roommate Liam.

Finger jabbing towards Theo's face as she repeated 'Daddy' again and again he couldn't bring himself to dispute the label.

"Stiles made a divine move, but he was only capable of doing that because Scott refused to let Stiles sacrifice himself or anyone hurt Stiles"

Look at what well known harasser and rabid Scott Stan - Derek/Stiles/Peter/Sterek/Steter hater Claude Frollo just posted in the Stiles Stilinski tag on purpose:

https://princeescaluswords.tumblr.com/post/661308239644868608/stiles-played-a-deadly-game-of-goo-and-chess

Hello @princeescaluswords 

Aren't you tired of obsessing all over a neurodivergent character you claim to hate and of using every single ableist trope and stereotype to belittle and demonize Stiles in an attempt to prop Scott up? 

"Peter claimed that chess was Stiles game, but Peter does tend to exaggerate" Funny how Scott stans are so bothered by Peter praising Stiles and pointing out that chess is Stiles' game to Derek that they need to lie and make shit up in order to belittle/invalidate it, isn't it? And by funny I mean ABLEIST  

The most hilarious thing though is that according to antis' own logic, Peter exaggerated when he said he was impressed by Scott's ingenuity in Season 2, too. Everyone who watched Teen Wolf knows that Peter Hale was being blatantly sarcastic and only did it to manipulate Scott into going to Jackson (which Scott did by the way), since Peter never even bothered to hide the fact that Scott can go die a miserable death in a ditch alongside Gerard for all Peter canonically cares and openly mocks Scott "my plan is to get Stiles to come up with a plan"  McCall's stupidity throughout the whole series. Thanks for proving a point, Escalus!

"Yes, Stiles did pull off a divine move in the episode of the same name, but he was only capable of doing that because Scott refused to let Stiles sacrifice himself or anyone hurt Stiles in order to save others. He found a way to save everyone, by doing the right thing" 

Scott/Posey fans really love to erase canon and give Scott all the credit for his friends' heroic actions and achievements, don't they? Another trait they have in common with Canon Scott McCall 

1• Stiles played a deadly game of Go against the Nogitsune AND a game of chess against himself (Void Stiles) simultaneously, repeatedly outsmarted and outwitted the Fox Spirit that chose him as his vessel, and then defeated it by making a Divine Move. Scott didn't do shit except whine, growl, obsess over Allison, make out with his new girlfriend, get his ass handed to him by everyone, be his usual useless self and throw jealous fits/temper tantrums somewhere in the background. Where he belongs 

2• Scott McCall doesn't have any claim or authority over his friends outside of Scott stans' self insert power fantasies and delusions. Scott also threw a tantrum because he didn't want Stiles to sacrifice himself and lock himself up in Eichen House to save his friends and everyone else. And yet Stiles ignored Scott's whining and did it anyway. Stiles found a way to save everyone, figured everything out, and did the right thing. And he did all that without conspiring with Gerard behind everyone's back, or lying to everyone, around him, or dehumanising werewolves, or selling the Hales out to the hunters, or violating rape victims. Unlike Scott, who did all those shitty things and still failed miserably at everything 

3• No one hurt Stiles in Teen Wolf Season 3B because everyone loves Stiles and no one wanted to hurt him. Not because a whiny, pompous, narcissistic fuckboy with a dumb true alpha title ordered them not to lol

4• Scott McCall doesn't have the authority to allow/or not allow anyone to do anything. Much to his and his fans' eternal chagrin 

"You probably would have figured something out. And Scott did. Repeatedly"

Again, that was sarcasm. Both Stiles and Theo used Scott's own narcissism, inflated ego and delusions of moralistic grandeur against him and mocked him for his self righteous hypocrisy to his face. And neither Scott nor his fans even noticed. Also: when did Scott ever figure something out exactly? When he tried but failed to assassinate Gerard? When he thought that he had gone from being utterly shit at lacrosse to being a star athlete in the span of a day because he was just naturally talented? When he threw Derek Hale under the bus and framed him for murder so that he could be free to stalk Allison and play lacrosse? When he claimed that Kira was a werewolf? When he accused Morrell of going around murdering people? When he assaulted and kidnapped Liam and then called Stiles because Scott can't even clean up after his own mess, let alone take responsibility for his own failures and shitty actions? When Theo played him like a cheap kazoo throughout Season 5? Seriously, when??????

As Peter, Lydia, Malia and everyone else have pointed out, Stiles is the clever, super smart one who always figures it out and never takes advantage of his talents.

Meanwhile, Scott is just a self righteous, judgemental, below average hypocrite who always takes the credit for his friends' heroic actions and accomplishments, judges and/or condemns others for things they never even did and conveniently gives himself a free pass for, and can't even plan his way out of a paper bag without his friends' constant help and support 

"They portray Stiles as chafing chained to a sub-par relationship with Scott, but Stiles literally has a break down when he thinks he’s done something for which Scott won’t be able to forgive him"

Nothing demonstrates Scott fans' ableism and utter lack of empathy more than them trying to cheapen Stiles' trauma and make it all about their fav. Stiles Stilinski got mentally and physically violated by a Fox Spirit who chose him as his vessel; sacrificed himself and locked himself up in Eichen House - supernatural prison/mental institution - to save everyone else; got abused by the wards; repeatedly forced to kill people; couldn't sleep; has been suffering from panic attacks since he was a child; remembered when his mentally ill mom abused him and called him a monster during his childhood; was stalked and brutally assaulted by Donovan; had accidentally killed his abuser to defend himself; and then got gaslit, dehumanised, judged and victim blamed by Scott for it; got blackmailed by Theo and abandoned by the abusive best friend whose ass Stiles risked his own life to save throughout the whole series ("You need me! You trusted him, too!") And yet Scott Fans will try to make it all about Scott instead... which is another trait antis share with Canon Scott 

Scott/Posey fandom's jealousy, ableism, hypocrisy & obsessive hate boner for Stiles and Derek specifically are as blatant and as creepy as ever. Teen Wolf got cancelled due to shitty ratings years ago, and Posey's career followed it down the drain immediately after. But his stans are still out there foaming at the mouth, spewing ableist garbage, and throwing tantrums just because people don't like their shitty fav and have the audacity to prefer Stiles and Derek to Scoot 

BUT SCOTT FANS ARE NOT OBSESSED 

[a-valorant-effort]

Got any good ocxcanon content for us Cass?

*SLAMS HAND ON DESK* WELL I THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK

Noura + Aurora ships by yours truly

(Let me know which one your fav is idk who’s gonna be endgame yet)

Aurora section:

Headlights

Aurora x Chamber— Bitter Opulence

- Both come from lavish lives

- They’re that hot couple you half wish you were but also are deathly afraid of

- Enemies to lovers type beat :lipbite:

- Aurora does not trust Chamber whatsoever, and does her best to avoid him

- Playing hard to get he thinks? Oh yeah, he’ll play.

- Chamber this isn’t a game she despises you.

- Spoiles her probably, on missions he organizes Chamber makes sure Aurora is as comfortable as possible

- Aurora isn’t a monster, she does appreciate the gestures that Chamber gears toward her

- It’s gonna take more work than that though, pretty boy.

Nightlight

Aurora x Omen— Opposites Attract

- My main and my oc? Yeah I’m that bitch *twirls hair*

- Besties to lovers

- I’ve said before that Aurora and Omen have prob had their radiants the longest and therefore have had time to train together/bond

- Omen has opened up about lots of things to Aurora, and vice-versa

- Old married couple, watching them talk to each other is like watching old romcoms of two old people complaining. To each other? About each other? You’ll never know.

- “Keep yourself safe, my shadow, wouldn’t want you giving us away.”

- “Your brilliant light is going to get us killed, if anything. Stay behind me.”

- You insult one of them to other though? Prepare to die.

- “Aurora is more powerful than anything you or any man shall see in this lifetime. Watch your step, her nor I will be there to catch you if you fall.”

- “Omen has been through so much. You dare speak ill of my most dependable ally? Perhaps you’re weaker than I thought.”

- (Ngl I see this more as a bff dynamic more than anything else)

Shieldshock

Aurora x Sova— Humble Beginnings

- Favorite ship tbh

- They’re both mentor/big sibling types. Always looking out for others in protocol

- Aurora values any gesture/display of affection Sova graces her with

- Sova goes so out of his way to get Aurora to talk to/notice him not knowing she is literally stealing glances at him any chance she gets

- Mutual pining champions, makes everyone at protocol want to bash their head into a wall

- Aurora meeting Sova’s family :D

- His parents proud that he chose to love such a humble and kind woman (and so pretty too!)

- Sova isn’t usually talkative but him talking to his family about Aurora? Sit down this is gonna take a min

Noura section (partially ghostwritten by @lemonssoda):

Windrunner

Noura x Jett— Race ya!

- “We’re rivals!” “We are?”

- That’s it that’s the ship

- Jett feels so threatened that there is someone faster than her. Impossible.

- AND she’s getting mentored by Aurora? Fuck no! That’s my mentor, back off!

- Noura’s so happy to have a friend tho :D!

- Every training session is a competition

- Noura shamelessly/unintentionally flirting with Jett during these times

- It takes Noura getting serious and saving Jett from a suicide mission for her to realize “oh hell she cute”

- Noura going out of her way to impress Jett while Jett is just like “oh yeah?! I can do that too!”

Glowstick

Noura x Neon — Electric love

- The bitch isn’t even out yet but I don’t care

- The similarities are uncanny— Neon and Noura would depend on each other heavily in and out of combat

- “I get you, and you get me, please don’t leave.”

- Radiant related injury? Let me tenderly treat your wounds

- Afraid of an upcoming mission? Dont worry I’m coming! There’s nothing to be afraid of!

- Crying late at night because you miss your mom? Family is everything to me, I will be there first to comfort you.

- OH THE ANGST POTENTIAL WITH THESE TWO

- Noura meeting Neon’s family *slams credit card on table*

Nanovolt

Noura x Killjoy— Brains vs. Brawn

- I love the kind of woman that talks over me -Noura

- Killjoy yearns for someone to talk/ just ramble on about technical stuff to

- Noura’s just a good listener in general, she’s used to the ramblings of her father

- KJ spoils Noura with tons of new gadgets and advancements to her gear

- It’s literally so easy for Killjoy to impress Noura she could literally just add an extra pocket to her suit and Noura would be like “:0”

- Killjoy’s passion reminds Noura of her mother, and it gets to her sometimes

- “Hey your dad stole a gadget from me can you get it back for me?”

- “yeah.”

[welcome-tothe-madness]

Yo so like, after watching Book 3, I think I wanna kinda just put my thoughts here on Simon because so far he’s been one of my fav characters because of how well written he is and I just wanna like, idk, ramble

i absolutely adore how Simon and Grace are essentially 2 sides of the same coin, but also fundamentally different, and this is how their paths diverge. i think a large part of why Grace was able to start her redemption is because of how much she loved kids, and making them feel less alone. She thrived off of taking in lonely souls and showing them a “better way.” She genuinely felt bad for Hazel and wanted what was “better” for her. This doesn’t excuse any of her stuff, but her general love and compassion for other kids is really was kickstarted her on her redemption.

Simon did not. Not to say he didn’t care about Apex, but I don’t think he cared for the kids themselves. He cared about GRACE. He cared because she cared. If she had taken his hand and said “let’s leave this all behind” I’m sure he would have followed her. So while Grace is bonding with Hazel and learning to be ok with Tuba, all Simon sees is a distraction and someone holding them back. He also sees Grace not as enthusiastic to get rid of Tuba and keeps putting off killing her.

Now, about Tuba’s death. I see a lot of people marking this as the moment they started to hate him, and they’re not wrong, this was the key point where he became irredeemable. But I want everyone to take a step back and look at what we’ve seen so far. We know his backstory with Samantha, and i think everyone believes that’s the only reason he hates denizens. That could be the MAIN reason, but I don’t think it’s the ONLY reason. Remember why they were running in the first place? Because there was a bug denizen chasing them. We know from Book 1 that these big monsters are actually the creatures that inhabit the train. I think there is a big chance that he witnessed a denizen transform in front of him, and try to attack him. This is also supported when Grace has to explain to hazel why she doesn’t like them, she says “they’re unpredictable.” What’s that supposed to mean? Using context clues, I think they’re aware al the denizens are actually those soul sucking creatures. Yeah, no wonder they don’t feel anything for them when they die. As far as they’re concerned, they could turn and kill them at any minute.

Also, i’d like to bring up Book 2, when we’re first introduced to Simon and Grace. When they’re trying to recruit Jesse, they planned on killing Lake off to “help” him. Look at just how many kids are in Apex. What’s the likelihood that a majority of them befriended a denizen that they later had to sacrifice for initiation? This isn’t the first time they’ve done something like this. They’ve done this a LOT, possibly hundreds of times. Tuba’s death to Simon was just another day of initiation. Does it make it any less wrong? Of course not, he fully had the capacity to bond and redeem himself just as Grace had, and they even got along right before her death. But in Simon’s eyes, he was too far gone, Tuba was a dangerous creature holding them back and he finally found the perfect opportunity to get rid of her like they‘d always done. Grace’s horror is what’s new to him. Her acting shocked, disgusted, scared? She’s never done that before. She’s always planned it, egged it on, encouraged it, PRAISED him for this behavior. And note what he says to her after the job is done!! “Let’s see how high OUR marks have gotten.” He knew Grace was insecure about her number lowering, and did something he usually got praised for, and even thought it’d help her. It wasn’t a selfish betrayal (sort of, I also partially believe he did it to get on Grace’s good side again) but he also did it because he knew how down she’d been.

I also just wanna say Grace should have communicated better with him. I don’t know if things would have turned out better or different, but a lot of his later actions were derived from her dishonesty and her distancing himself from him. She never told Simon what she was thinking. She never told him about her hesitation. She never let him in on anything. Instead? She chose a denizen over him. She decided to change and grow and expected Simon to follow suit. He isn’t a mind reader, how the hell was he supposed to know plans had changed and he was meant to keep Tuba alive? How was he meant to know?

This doesn’t make any of his actions ok. Trusting the cat over Grace and trapping her in her own mind? There’s no ”justifying” that (not that I’m trying to justify) but I think I’ve reached a level of understanding with his character. A lot of what happens is because he’s been left in the dark. Yes, he had the opportunity to change and it is his fault for not taking action, but I think a moment that struck a nerve with me is when Grace said “I’m not responsible for your problems, I don’t owe you anything.” She’s right, she’s not responsible for him not bettering himself.

She’s not responsible for his betrayal. She’s not responsible for his jealousy over Hazel. But you know what she is responsible for? Shoving this ideology down his throat, refusing to communicate, and then acting disgusted and lashing out at him for doing everything she’s ever taught him. She’s the one that taught him a higher number was better. She’s the one that’s always took command/control. She’s praised him for shitty behaviors and when she sees the result of it? It’s not her problem. I completely understood when Simon screamed out “YOU OWE ME EVERYTHING.”

No, she doesn’t owe him everything, but her toxicity towards him is a major factor into why he turned out how he did. Treating people like shit and then saying it’s not your problem when it affected them? (Btw, I’m NOT a grace hater and do not believe she is the source of all his problems, clearly he is his own person and has the capacity to grow as well, but saying she doesn’t owe him anything?? Not even an apology for lying and keeping secrets?? that’s what mainly struck a nerve.)

Also, I wanna bring up another moment that I think solidified hate for him. When Grace saved him, and he tried wheeling her. I can also understand why he did this. Is it right? No, obviously no it’s not ok. But I think the reason he chose to shove her off is because when he asked “why did you save me?” Her response was “I don’t know.” You don’t know? You don’t know why you were compelled to save your number 1 friend for years? Someone who stuck with you through thick and thin, clung to every word you said, and did everything you asked? You don’t know why you saved him? Even after everything? In such an emotional and high tensity moment, I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same. Again, not something he should have done, but it’s something I can understand. If my scorned ex best friend saved my life and said they didn’t know why, I’d probably feel angry too.

anyways yeah, he’s still a shit person but he’s complex and i think a large reason why his character works so well is because of how well he is written. He did horrible things but there was always a reason, it was never ”mwuahaha, I’m evil now.” And that’s what I love about Infinity Train. Everyone feels so real. Anyways yeah ramble over, if you’ve read this far, feel free to discuss more with me if you feel like I overlooked anything or just wanna spark more conversation!! <33

FAQ:  Some questions already answered in case anyone is interested! [Updated; September 2023. I forgot I had a FAQ.]

* Fav Undertale/Deltarune characters?

Undertale: Undyne, Papyrus and Sans! Deltarune: Susie, Queen and Lancer!

* Can I dub your comics? Can I translate your comics? Can I do fanarts/fanfics/etc? Can I ship your characters with others? Can I roleplay your characters? Can I use your characters in my AU? Can I make fusions/shipchildren/alt versions?

-Yes to all! You are free to do whatever you want with the A L I V E characters (and if you tag me so I can see it, it would make me happy!).

-If you create your own stuff with the A L I V E characters you don’t need to credit me, but it’ll be nice if you do! Just don’t forget to credit Toby Fox as well, and follow his rules!

* Can I ask the characters?

Sometimes you’ll be able to. The ask is not something separate from the story, but part of it. So I’ll let you know when the characters are looking at Alphys’ screens (where they can read the asks).

Update: The main comic is about to end and when it happens, canon asks for the characters will be forever open!

* Do you take commissions/have a KoFi/how can you be supported?

I do take commissions and have a KoFi! I will reblog the commissions post every time I open them!

* Since when are you in this fandom?

This is weird but despite Undertale is from 2015 I just discovered it in march 2020 ; u ; ) I wanted to do this tumblr when I saw there were AU’s and roleplay stuff, but I was afraid I couldn’t find time to make updates and that’s why I didn’t do it before. But in the end I was so excited and really wanted to do a lot of fanarts, that I created this blog.

This blog was just to post my fanarts, and at first I didn’t want to start an AU due to lack of time. But in the end I decided to do something simple, like some characters in the void with their stories and asks. …It ended up being an AU.  ( ｡•́‿•̀｡)

* What is Lytta’s gender? And their age?

Lytta’s gender is neutral, like Frisk and Chara (they/them). I never chose a gender for them so if you want to think they’re a woman or a man and want to use she/her or he/him, it’s ok! Just don't confuse people, since the canon is still non-binary. So please, for asks to this blog keep using they/them. 

IRL Lytta is 20 years old in the first and second season, and 21 in the third season. Their avatar in game is Chara’s face in Frisk’s body, so their appearance is the same as them. In this AU classic Frisk have around 12/13 years old, like Chara’s appearance.

* What is the name of this AU?

This AU is called “A L I V E”. You can also use “Alivetale” or “Alive AU” if you want, I don’t mind. Remember; “Tatatale” is just the silly name I gave to this blog, and it has nothing to do with the AU or myself! You can call me Kao.

* How would Insans react to (character name)?

-If they look human, he’ll be mad. He’s trying to be a good boy now, so he probably won’t attack and just hide behind a friend. Past Insans would try to kill them.

-If they look like Papyrus, he’ll be scared.

-If they’re another monster, it’ll depend on how they meet. (You don’t treat someone who is polite the first time you see them in the same way as if you see that same person attacking you.)

I want to say sorry if my English is awful, since is not my mother language, I just try my best.

I update the main comic when my free time allows it. I’m sorry if I can’t update like before.

And I also want to say THANK YOU to all the people supporting this blog.

YOU. ARE. AWESOME.

That’s all.

Time for another submission from this post. I’ll be answering one at a time and spacing them out to avoid spamming your dashboard.

NARUTO Scroll by this post quickly if you haven’t watched, read, or completed Naruto, including Shippuden (because there are definitely spoilers ahead).

haven’t heard of it | don’t plan to watch | might watch | currently watching | dropped | on-hold | didn’t like | a positive okay | liked it | liked it a lot | loved it! | a favorite

Oh, Naruto – I have a long history of mixed feelings with this series, hence why it’s simultaneously “dropped” and “on-hold.” Lot of it has to do with the anime being packed full of flashbacks and battle narration spoon-fed in true shounen style. I watched all of DBZ (one of my first two long-running shounen series) when I was younger, so I’ve had my fill of endless power-ups and spirit bomb-type attacks. There are other aspects of Naruto I favour when it’s not just overpowered special moves and redundant flashbacks. The characters and the world-building (with fantastical elements and giant beasts doled out sparingly) are still enjoyable for me. If I ever properly finish the entire series (instead of just reading up on events or watching random episodes), it’ll be through the manga instead.

fav characters: Kakashi has always been my #1 since the beginning! After that, in no particular order, my other faves include: Sai, Gaara, Yamato, Hinata, Kiba (and Akamaru!), Shino, Sakura, Lee, Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Tsunade, Iruka, Temari, and Kankuro. I like other characters, but not as much these ones.

least fav characters: This is a popular series with a huge fandom, so I’ll refrain from answering this one in the interest of keeping my fandom experience peaceful, lol.

The rest under the cut for length:

fav relationship: Platonically, there are many; I appreciate all the different bonds. Naruto has many unique characters, and that’s probably my most favourite part of the series.

Romantically, I like a handful, but I’ll only share one: SaiSaku, my ultimate OTP in this series, always. Honestly, they would've been so good together. The healing, the growth, the maturity, the possibilities – I adore them so much. They impacted each other's lives positively, displaying a solid friendship by the end after a rocky start. In my eyes, they fit together well, and I love that they grew to understand each other in different ways.

Unfortunately, Kishimoto has never been the best at writing well-developed romance in general compared to just implications, so I knew not to expect anything, especially since it’s not a romance series. I had a tiny bit of hope before the end, because the foundation was there, the potential was there, and it would’ve been a pleasant surprise for Kishimoto to break convention. Oh, well. Sai x Sakura will always be a favourite ship of mine, no matter what, and there’s still plenty of fan-made content to enjoy.

fav moment: I have so many! But one I’ve been thinking about lately is Gaara’s speech. He’s one of my most favourite characters because of his tremendous growth. He went from a murderous, destructive boy with deep-rooted psychological trauma and a lack of love to a leader who puts his life on the line for others, protects them, and leads an entire village and military division. Naruto obviously had a huge impact on him, especially when Gaara tried to reason with Sasuke on Naruto’s behalf before fighting him, feeling so strongly that he shed a tear when Sasuke refused to see the light. Gaara knows pain as well as Naruto and Sasuke do, and with help and sheer will, he was able to overcome the darkness, the beast within.

Gaara chose a hard path, working hard to change himself for the better, to gain trust, to forgive those who hated him (especially his father), and to earn the respect and love of a village who feared him as a monster. He has allies and friends now. His family is closer (oh, my heart when he learned his mother had and will always love him). He became the Fifth Kazekage of the Hidden Village of Sand, and then later the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces. That is just incredible! If you had told Gaara, his father, his village, and pretty much everyone that this would happen in five years or so, they would have scoffed, calling it an impossible dream. Gaara knew it would be a tough road, but he didn’t let that stop him.

When he finally appears above thousands and dispels the disagreements happening between shinobi of different villages, he speaks from the heart and raises their morale, pulling everyone together for a common goal. That scene gave me chills, especially when we watch him leading everyone into battle, running ahead of hundreds.

Anyway, I am so proud of Gaara, and he’ll always be a favourite character! He also has a badass character design.

headcanons/theories: I can’t think of any at the moment.

unpopular opinion:

This might not be unpopular since I’ve seen varied opinions of the same thing: Kishimoto doesn’t do well in writing his female characters. They all could’ve been so much more.

Sai and Yamato are a part of Team 7.

Team 8 is underrated and was underused.

how’d you find it: Mostly through the Internet when Naruto first aired in 2005 in Canada. I watched it myself during the initial broadcast until I got into some other series (like Katekyo Hitman Reborn) during that time for a few years. But I used to watch as often as I could and read the manga whenever possible. Since the mid-2000s, I’ve been checking in on Naruto here and there.

random thoughts: Yamato deserves more than a medal and vacation for handling Naruto, Sakura, and Sai, and then dealing with Sasuke and others on top of everything else, right to the end of the series where he’s pretty much an afterthought. I’m sure the man had an inkling, but, ultimately, he had no real idea of what he was getting into with Kakashi’s complicated students plus a socially inept ROOT member, lol. But it all turned out okay in the end, more or less. Thank you, Captain Yamato, for all your hard work!

Thank you!
