[chans-room]

hi i'm back… most to least likely in skz to do a couples costume? and what are the costumes (solo or coupled)??

Oooo that’s a good one Sunny! 👻 I think a lot of it has to do with who’s coordinating who’s going along with the couple costumes too but here’s my list:

Most likely

Hyunjin. And he’s coordinating it. He’s been planning your outfit for weeks and you do not have a say in it. You will wear what he tells you to if you know what’s good for you. I think he would choose something like Howl and Sophie from or Jack and Sally. Something that makes him look good first and foremost, but also he’s got nothing but compliments for you all night.

Jisung. He’s just happy to be involved lol he will wear whatever you give him but when you make sure your outfits are at least somewhat to his interests, he’s very happy. Anything from an anime for sure but I’m particularly soft about him being Tuxedo Mask to your Sailor Moon.

Bang Chan. He’s a simp, and he’d do anything you want to do. So if you have an idea for a couples costume, he’s down. But I mean… good luck getting him out of the studio for long enough for someone to see it tho. I think he’d like something with Pokémon, where he’s Ash and you’re Misty or pikachu if that’s what you’re into. Or he’d be into something like the Big Bad Wolf and Red Riding Hood.

Felix. He’s also a simp and is down to match with you if you want. The only reason he’s below Chan is he’s got a LOT of opinions on what he’s gonna wear, and if your idea isn’t a vibe for him, he’s gonna let you know. I think he’d like the classic romanticism of Romeo + Juliet (the Leo and Claire Danes movie obv) or Link and Zelda!

Jeongin. He thinks it’d be fun to coordinate but doesn’t mind if you don’t! If you’re super into it though, he’s down as long as you guys work together and choose something that pleases you both. He’d get super shy day of Halloween and almost back out, but he goes through with it. I think for him, he’d be into Spiderman and Spider-Gwen and he’d reaaaaally appreciate that Spiderman mask when you start getting too much attention. He’d also be into Beetlejuice and Lydia imo.

Changbin. He’s only this low bc he’s not necessarily excited to match with you, he more just expected it to happen. But if you suggest a non-couple costume he is 1000% throwing a fit bc how dare you suggest not matching??? Are you his baby or not??? He’s also the only one of them who’d be down to be something spooky or scary with you, like any killer and final girl, or if he’s feeling super romantic, he’d be the Gomez to your Morticia.

Lee Know. He’s not opposed to it, but he’s not gonna put in a whole lot of effort to coordinate. He’s also stubborn so if he already knows what he wants to do, he’s probably gonna stick to it. Once the time comes, he finds it really cute you put in so much effort just to match with him. He’d be into being Anakin and Padme or some Harry Potter characters with you. But fuck that antisemitic terf ass jkr.

Seungmin. Tsundere ass would not try to coordinate with you. In fact, he tells you it’s a little embarrassing and he does NOT wanna wear something he doesn’t like. He also just doesn’t seem like someone who’d love the whole dressing up thing anyway so he’s doing something simple and dressing up like a baseball player. It’s an outfit he already has, so why not? But jokes on him, you dress up to match bonus points if it’s from the baseball scene in Twilight. He wants to be embarrassed but really, he thinks it’s hot you put that much effort into it. He goes around telling everyone you matched on purpose even though he initially hated the idea.

Least likely

sorry most of these m/f costumes, trust me I know how hard the queer costume search is, but I tried to give some gender neutral options as well. Also you have no idea how hard it was to limit myself to 2. I’m a Halloween fiend. 🦇🎃

Consider: the werewolves protecting the reader from witch hunters

hehe you and the anon from before have the same brain rot >:D but I SO see wolf!skz losing their minds if they hear about witch hunters near their territory,,, like chan probably doesn't sleep (except when does he ever?? HAHA) cause he's worried about watching over you and he always has someone walk you to and from work bc scary dog privilege (HAHA get it?? scary dog privilege... cause they're wolves... I'll stop LMFAO)

minho is quiet about it but I know damn well he's WORRIED like he's constantly eyeing up ppl he doesn't recognize in your cafe and is basically there 24/7 if you are xD min absolutely uses those scary glares of his when ppl get a lil too close and you have to remind him to chill a lil xD

binnie tries to scare ppl off with just his muscles ngl HAHA he walks around your shop in one of those tight black shirts that shows off his biceps (and ngl you kind of appreciate the eye candy xD ) and he sizes ppl up and flexes his muscles and you have to be like 'binnie bby cool it they're just ordering coffee" cause you know that even tho he's buff as hell, changbin is also literally the silliest and least intimidating person you've ever met xD

hyunjin is might be a little dramatic about it (when is he not xD ) and he whines a little when you still continue to go into work or out for errands,, he definitely accompanies you more on outings and keeps an arm draped over your shoulders or your waist protectively and he does that dramatic lil hyunjin glare when he sees someone sus

ji probably silently worries quite a bit :") he's pretty anxious about the whole thing and probably approaches you with his worries during quiet moments at the pack house,, I think he's more inclined to texting and calling you pretty often to make sure you're alright :')

Felix is also a worrier :'((( sweet lil sunshine baby is so scared of something happening to you (he still has nightmares about that vampire ngl) and he's constantly making sure you're okay and that no one suspicious is around,,, he probably takes up a few more patrol shifts and is always checking that no one found any suspicious scents around their territory

seungmin is also kind of a tsundere to me so he's also probably a little quiet and secluded with his worries xD he probably does stuff like making sure you've always got one of the others with you and ensuring that you've got pepper spray or something or other in your purse for self defense,, he also probably scolds you if you forget to text him or something during the day :")) don't blame him too much, he's just really worried about you :'D

innie sweet baby clings to you a bit more during this time xD he tries to use his maknae privileges to make you stick around the pack house more often (and ngl his puppy eyes work really well, it's really hard to get anything done when innie is looking up at you with his cute lil shining boba eyes and a lil pout on his face :'))) ) you absolutely now have to snuggle with baby bread instead of going out to run errands, sorry I don't make the rules xD

also!! skz is NOT above contacting demonteez for more protection -- like if they're truly worried and think there are actual hunters around threatening your life, they will absolutely be contacting High King Hongjoong bc you and dewdrops!reader are still close and changbin and woo are probably in contact a lot xD

demonteez is probably more than happy to send a couple of demons to the pack house for a couple days (dewdrops!reader wasn't allowed to come :((( even tho they wanted to hang out, hongjoong and the others were too worried they'd be in danger :") ) and if the scent and presence of a few demon lords lingering on pack territory doesn't scare off the hunters, then demonteez is more than happy to help wolf!skz take care of the problem at the source >:)

The difference between Felix's AM and non-AM endings really drives home the fact that Felix isn't meant to be the "lone wolf swordsman" archetype typical in FE. When he leans into the archetype after being recruited from the Blue Lions his endings are very lonely and miserable or at best kinda bittersweet. But on AM he's happy and satisfied and grows. Coupled with the fact that the Fraldarius Hero Relix is a shield instead of a weapon, it really drives home that Felix is meant to be a defender.

Felix is very interesting when discussing how he relates to past FE archetypes.

I think, outside of AM, what you actually get is a "lone-swordsman" origin story. And inside it, he subverts the trope.

In White Clouds, Felix is, like most people that age, still figuring things out (with a hefty dose of trauma and poor emotional intelligence piled on top). At this point, he's someone who honestly enjoys time by himself and fighting and is a bit tsundere. He's still fighting and training to protect his friends and regardless of the route worries incessantly about Dimitri.

Then the time skip happens. In SS/VW/CF Felix develops into the lone-swordsman. He's now just about fighting, not protecting, because there's no one left to protect after Dimitri's dead (and likely Rodrigue). Sylvain and Ingrid can't really factor into his growth outside of AM because the game has no idea if you recruited them or not or if you're a bad player and they died or not. Felix isn't good with complex emotions, so he deals with Dimitri's death poorly and becomes a sad, bloodthirsty swordsman, doubling down on the only thing he knows he's good at - fighting. Because how can he claim he's protecting his friends anymore? They all could be dead. Hell, if it's CF, he could've killed every one of them himself - really forcing him to double down on a new belief, but with nothing left to believe in but his ability with a weapon.

Most lone swordsmen in FE are actually pretty angsty. A rare one, like Navarre, seem well adjusted. But Navarre wasn't really alone. He's part of a mercenary group - he's just likes his alone time. The truly alone ones like Rutger or Karel are miserable or kinda evil, respectively. That's why I think CF/SS/VW Felix is showing how someone becomes Rutger or Karel. In AM, he doesn't, though. He's given the chance to grow into someone healthier.

In AM, obviously, Dimitri's death never happens. Felix is noticeably more mature in the time skip compared to WC and CF/SS/VW. He's no longer just concerned with his sword, but shows outward concern for others - namely the people of his territory. He also speaks out against Dimitri's behavior, but is mature enough to make amends once Dimitri's honestly trying to do better. His ending cards show him having something to live for outside of a sword, and that's because in AM, he found something worth protecting, whereas outside of it, he lost what he wanted to protect - Dimitri (since Ingrid and Sylvain cannot possible get factored in due to the confines of the game).

So, yeah, Felix is very interesting to me in how he's both a carbon copy of a classic Fire Emblem trope, but also subverts it and ends up growing in a way you didn't expect. It's also why I love him so much. He gets different development depending on the route, something I wish happened with all the characters.

stray kids and their dæmons

coz braem's finished reading the golden compass and is rather impressed.

notes:

— based on 'his dark materials' by phillip pullman

— somewhat based on skzoo or their general (?) impression so it's not exactly soul-accurate. but it's for fun anyway so, enjoy!!

bang chan - grey wolf

kpop leader's dæmons either are intimidating or elegant and graceful

she is intimidating. and graceful. and pretty.

yet in truth, very loving, like channie!!

chills on the sofa during chan's room, and aggressively nuzzles chan when he gets fuzzy and giggly thinking about the kids or stays

pounces on the kids' dæmons at the same time chan's cuddling or teasing them (or hoists them up his shoulder, whichever)

but would lick and curl about them coz wolves are nurturing

growls at hate comments; chan would stare after dodging them "casually" and she'd stare back pointedly

[btw i really like this picture combo, rather proud of maself]

lee know - leopard cat

(gently) paws/slaps the other dæmons when minho can only stare and be done with the kids

i thought about recent fansigns and how she'd give such big loving soft eyes to the fans behind the glass separator

climbs on minho's back, then settles on his shoulder

when the kids ask for help, minho's tsundere self would be refusing it all and being reluctant

but she'd already be sniffing about the dæmons or any object concerning the problem and just wait for minho to check himself

sits on top of cabinets while minho cooks

and paws his cheek when he sleeps lol

changbin - black leopard

or more commonly known as black panther except the black is actually melanization!

someone in twitter said this i think, but like yeah, with bin's powerful gaze—why not black panther?

the panther forms came out when he starts to learn raps, the more powerful and confident he came to be with his skills as a trainee

and the biggest among the eight dæmons, even more than chan's wolf. bin's very proud of her.

cos then she can give big protective warm cuddles! you bet she let the other's dæmons just pile on her

closed, contented eyes as bin pats her or when bin himself is just pleased at himself and happy and giggly

NO BUT IMAGINE THEM WALKING TO SMTM—

hyunjin - ermine

or more commonly known as stoat! ermine is when their coat get white in the winter

would curl around his neck, and make the cutest selfie combo

zooms up hyunnie's long ass leg to do that

but that would muss up hyunjin's long hair as well so...

she'd sneeze, and hyunjin would laugh

they paint together! paw prints!!

would stand on its hind legs when hyunjin's confused

shrieks a little when hyunjin's (dramatically) surprised but would immediately nuzzle his prone/shocked form

han - siberian flying squirrel

THIS TINY WHITE FLOOF

WITH BIG EYES

IMAGINE 3RACHA ASSEMBLING AND THIS FLOOF IS JUST THERE BETWEEN A WOLF AND A BLACK LEOPARD

dives in between jisung's harnesses and the odd cuts in his stage costumes

or his pockets!

hangs upon his collar, everytime—easier access to nuzzle jisung's cheek and comfort him

the mirroring confusion look in their eyes at times

glides out to the other dæmons' head when they're cuddling or han's teasing everyone

felix - american yellow warbler

happy cheerful little twitters!

especially when yongbok's cuddling the members

then she'd settle on other dæmons head for some while

sits on felix's head usually—likes to perch on heads!

flies in a flutter or bounces about when he's excited

pecks the other dæmon's head when he's annoyed

but it's also a form of affection

alongside flying around the others while chirping nonstop

seungmin - golden retriever

chases everybody around when seungmin's in a mischievous mood

stares and wags it's tongue

and barks after seungmin says "dda!"

even more when seung makes a mischievous statement and everybody lol-ed

otherwise a good, happy boy

especially in public events—the press just coos over them (unaware of the seungmin 'main maniac' agenda...)

would just lick seungmin's face all of a sudden and make him laugh

i.n - fennec fox

still shifts when he debuts, up to two years later

the hyungs got dramatic when she obtained her final shape

but jeongin himself is somewhat relieved and reflects a lot about maturity (this maknae...)

zooms about when jeongin's excited

that jackson wang meme where he says "cute" with a flat face? yeah.. that's the mood here.

always on jeongin's lap—interviews, fansigns, during makeup in the waiting room

rather quiet—but will definitely shrieks and barks when the hyungs are tackling and cuddling jeongin

Alternative Title: SKZOO animals I'd pick, my magnum opus

Asks (mine) and tweets (not mine) I expanded on: [1] [2] [3] [4]

~ please note this is nsfw

Bang Chan - Wolf

Chris as a wolf is easily the most consistent association

He has been a wolf for years and his on and off stage makes this choice very consistent

In the sense of sfw, Chan would end up carrying himself like an overtly rowdy dog almost.

Like under-estimating his strength, claiming his favorite things, lots of sniffing and scenting, he loves holding you.

A total service top

He is often frustrated with rules since his instincts tell him to just take and dominate, but he just wants to be a good boy

Likes to be put in his place and humiliated till he's whimpering and whining with his tail in between his legs like a puppy

Would hate to admit but punishments where he's in a muzzle and having his dick slapping are his favorite

Minho - Cat

I don't care if he has bunny teeth, everything else about that man is a cat.

Literally everything lines up, go fight your mom about it

Anywho, sense he has a whole tsundere vibe going on, Minho would act as if he doesn't like your advances and coddling just to be betrayed by his own senses

Ranging from nuzzling and purring into your touch, ears darting in your direction when he wants to seem like he's ignoring you, or his tail moving on it's own...he would have a love hate relationship with these instances

Mainly because he doesn't really have to voice what he's feeling sometimes but he dislikes it for that exact reason

But on the other hand, he also loves it cause he can use these heightened sense to make sensory play literally intoxicating

Gags, nose hooks, blindfolds, etc

Anything to make his senses go the full mile as you over stim and force multiple orgasms out of him would be great

Changbin - Wild Boar

Now I don't care what y'all wanna say, the whole "muscle pig" or whatever concept should be expanded *refer to sources 3 and 4*

Unlike the simple pig, Boars are quite strong bodied, and have a coat of fur to maintain themselves in their environment.

It just fits cause: short, stupidly strong, very loyal and protective, etc. Plus when he has that scruffy look to his hair it just reminded me of their thick and unruly coats.

With the tendency to wallow when not on the move; since Boars are active animals it would align with the amount Changbin exercises, but in that vain Boars need to lounge and rest quite often

All of this could move into a strength kink or even being humiliated for wanting to be so emasculated because he is such a big and strong man

Is it bad I want him to oink and be degraded by being called a little piggie....

ANYWAY NEXT

Hyunjin - Ferret

Ferrets are said to be very cuddly, playful, and mischievous animals....just like Hyunjin.

His stature and personality match the pick so well

I can see the trait of borrowing as a neat one to get into since with this idea in mind paired with how ferrets love to collect makes me think that Hyunjin would love going through your things and would genuinely like sifting through your laundry when he misses you, much to your horror when you find the boy in a pile of your dirty clothes

Or just the idea that since Ferrets like to lick to clean and catch their owners attention, Hyunjin wouldn't hold back licking or nipping you with a pout just to let you know he wants you or wants to cuddle

And because he'd have a penchant for being clingy, those licks and nips would often morph into something more

His wiggles and squirming when you get him off~

Would instantly take a nap right after

Jisung - Squirrel

Now do I hate him as a Quokka...no. It's very fitting and fits how expressive he is, but look me in the eye and fill out a smut headcanon for a Quokka hybrid-

So next best, aka the best option is Jisung as a Squirrel.

He already collects his food in his cheeks, is skittish, and is very animated as a person

But with hybrid qualities, this would translate into lots of staring first of all

Squirrels stare to see if they need to run from danger, but once they get to know you it's also to see if you'll feed them

As a Squirrel, Jisung would be energetic, like stupidly so, but he would often go all to where he suddenly crashes and needs a hard nap or to go into a deep sleep

In an nsfw sense, Jisung would be a bit insatiable but he wouldn't be able to take a lot. Squirrels are easily scared and overwhelmed but if Jisung is wanting to work with that he could have a big fearplay kink

Would like to nest with you in his state of subspace if he goes that deep during a scene

needs lots of aftercare

Felix - Chick

Another very flexible member, Felix would quite literally fit any small, cute farmland animal at this point.

He fits a cat, bunny, baby cow, duckling, etc.

But I'll give this to JYP for once cause he's an adorable chick

To be a baby chick, Felix is in a bit of a "stunted state" which just has to do with his mind space sometimes but really has to do with his hair and mannerisms

With his hair being that same distinct yellow with a little cluster of tail feathers and the tendency to chirp when he's excited or needy

His headspace may go in a mock little space/dreamer state since he is a baby chick that has grown past what may be normal for chicks

he can handle himself but there are times he'll revert and really need help whether he's in sub space, sick, or really sleepy

In nsfw situations he would prefer gentle play and sometimes is surprised by how sensitive his tail feathers may be

also needs lots of aftercare

Seungmin - Puppy

ah yes...seungmo puppy

I honestly think he would be more subdued than Wolf!Chris

Where he is an overgrow, feral puppy; Seungmin is like the mellow, super cuddly pup with a very excitable personality at times.

Seungmin wouldn't like to bark too much, but he does have a tendency to do the whole excited panting when he's too excited or just having a lot of fun and doesn't catch it

he wouldn't want to seem lie a dopy dog or anything, but he's just so cute when his head tilts to the side when he doesn't get something

During scenes, Seungmin would be very flexible with you, choosing his role depending on the day like a true vers

But whether you're fucking him on a plush dog bed while his floppy ears are splayed out by his head or doing the fucking and panting into his thrusts with drool dripping off of his tongue

this would be the one time he wouldn't mind his canine habits and give into his carnal desires

Jeongin - Fox

Jeongin as a fox, is so good. Like he's a good boy, but also not

He gets into mischief far too often, but he tries

Foxes are so loving and affectionate, very much unlike what Jeongin likes to give off, but when comfortable with you he will let that gloss over and let his cuddly side show through

He has whiskers...Innie deserves the whiskers

Back to his mischief, sense foxes are nocturnal or at least are awake from late nights to early mornings, Jeongin would get into the most while you sleep

*cite first link* speaking of you sleeping, Jeongin gets into the most trouble then since he has a tendency to try to sneak under your covers and wiggle his way between your legs to nuzzle against your groin and feel himself calm down between your thighs

But even as this could be a comfort for him, his mind and body often has his intentions going south with him moving forth to lick, nibble, and suck along your inner thighs and over your underwear until you wake up and check under the sheets to see a grinning fox ready to wish you a good morning

[death2normalcy]

This is Lee Know!

Once again, that’s his stage name. He’s birth name is Lee Minho. He was born and raised in South Korea and he was born on October 25, 1998. He speaks basic English. His English has improved immensely since they debuted, and he has clearly worked very hard on learning what he can, when he can!

Video of Lee Know speaking English at one of their Maniac Tour concerts!

He is the second oldest in the group and is always helping the other members out and being there for them. Everyone refers to him as a tsundere, which I think means he comes of mean and cold, but he’s actually really soft and warm? I’m not 100% sure on that. But yea, a lot of people say he tends to appear more mean at first, but when you really get to know him, he’s just a big ol’ softie. And he really is. I have a whole tag dedicated to just Lee Know being soft.

He’s the oldest member of Danceracha, which is a sub-unit within the group that consists of the three main dancers, Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Felix.

Lee Know is mainly a dancer and vocalist in the group, but he’s done some rapping as well. His dancing is what he, arguably, is best known for, and he’s been doing it since he was pretty young. He was even a backup dancer for BTS before becoming a trainee! He helps the other guys with choreography a lot! Even though he’s most known for dancing, his vocals are fantastic, if underrated, and he’s majorly improved since his pre-debut days. He was one of the members who almost didn’t debut with the group, as he was eliminated during their survival show, but he was brought back, which was a great thing! The group wouldn’t be the same without him.

Some of his songs/performances I personally love:

Vocals: Waiting For Us; Ex; Surfin’; Wow; Falling (Harry Styles cover with I.N. during the Maniac tour, it’s short, but they both sound so good)

Dancing: Easy; his performance with the Mayfly Unity on Kingdom for ‘Wolf‘ ; Maniac; Miroh; Charmer...honestly, any song he dances too.

(The dance section was tricky, because all the songs I chose already have a video or two on the playlist I made, so just check out the playlist if you want to see the clips of him dancing, lol)

Lee Know has three cats, Soonie, Doongie, and Dori. He’s shared a lot of content of them over the years and clearly loves them very much. He’s also pretty open about his love for animals in general and tends to buy jewelry/accessories that supports or benefits animals in some way.

(The earrings he’s wearing in the photo above are from a company in Korea and a percentage of the proceeds for them go to WWF, an organization that protects endangered species!)

He’s also open (especially on Bubble) of his love for the outdoors, camping, etc. (He’s also pretty active on Bubble and regularly asks fans if we’re eating or telling us goodnight, etc)

I’m not sure what the rest of the fans think his defining physical characteristic is...wait, maybe his thighs? He’s a dancer, so his thighs are impressive.

But if I’m being honest, as much as I love the thighs, I’m more partial to his smile/laugh.

Lee Know is a fantastic cook and has been known to cook for his members at the dorms. (I suspect one of his love languages is cooking for the members, honestly.) He’s even done some cooking for official Stray Kids content, like a couple episodes of SKZ Code, vlogs that he put out, and even Vlives! He also shares food he’s cooked on Bubble pretty often.

Here’s a vlog of him making beef wellington for Felix!

His official SKZOO character is a bunny named Leebit. I assume it’s because his front teeth make him look a little bit like a bunny, but I can’t seem to find confirmation on that.

Fun fact: Lee Know is often referred to as a butt hunter and that’s because he frequently grabs or slaps the other members butts. They all do it, to an extent, but he’s arguably the one who does it the most and it’s always hilarious.

And I think that’s enough for Lee Know. Honestly, I could go on and on about him, he’s arguably my favorite. I love all the boys, but there’s something about Lee Know that I adore a little more. (Although, Chan will always be top favorite, if that makes sense). Here’s a playlist of videos about/of Lee Know.

Lee Know’s Playlist!

Bonus fun fact: Lee Know is a lot louder than you’d expect.You’ll see if you watch any of the compilation videos. He surprised me with that one, not gonna lie.

And bonus pics:

i think that a lot of this backlash comes from edelgard kinnies/khalidstans who never even played AM and thus never got dedue's backstory, but also love the idea of Super Woke Activist Dedue (who's slavishly devoted to Communist Revolutionary Edel and Woke King Khalid instead of Evil Racist Dimitri)—and because they never got that route-exclusive support, they never saw felix being a racist and just categorized him as "lone wolf tsundere boy who's best on CF where he can kill his meanie dad"

I won’t say you’re wrong, it’s definitely a possibility. I haven’t observed enough of this train wreck with my own two eyes to make a call about who is perpetuating the bullshit. I’d wager a guess that there’s a pretty significant number of people that hate Felix hopping on to be like “SEE you should hate Felix too!!!”

Which tbh pretty anti-typical behavior. Character they don’t like says something that comes off pretty damn racist? Gather the mob.

Bridgette is definitely someone who'd drag the lone wolf tsundere into her friend group. Felix being the first to fall in love sounds funny and him being unaware that Bridge is genuinely flirting with him is hilarious. Bridgette actually did the same thing that Marinette does with Adrien (have his schedule, try to be i the same place as him) but more active/stalkerish. Allegra called her out on that. Oh, an this Felix is a separate person from Adrien's cousin.

Yeah I can see Bridgette go more actual stalker for a hot minute before someone's like "girl no".

re: Felix Fraldarius

While working on a request, I was distracted (imagine that!) with a preoccupation about Felix as a character rather than a piece in the fairly limited set of headcanons I was writing for him. Then I saw someone make a comment about how Felix is, and I know this is a revolutionary hot-take, ‘an edgy tsundere’ and a one-note character. Seeing that criticism of a fictional character I have no reason to defend got my fingers itching for some action, but I’m not about to get in internet arguments or attempt to change people’s minds. Whatever. Funny thing is that they’re right but I still don’t see that as the scathing criticism they intended... and here’s why!

From the second you meet him, being an edgy tsundere is basically one of Felix’s most instantly identifiable traits. He’s got dark hair and a grumpy face, he likes fighting, and he’s a tsundere. The first two points even feed into his tsundere personality! It’s relevant to this specifically because tsundere boys have very rigid structures - a structure Felix follows nearly point by point. This is illustrated especially by the way the support conversations are presented with the C B A (and S) ranks, a lettered label for his shift from cold to warm. And yes, there IS an argument to be made about how following oversaturated tropes so doggedly ultimately cheapens a character, and I think that’s a valid critique. Using a well known and beloved trope to make a character likable is the old stand-by for dating sims everywhere because they know there is always a market for it no matter how poorly handled it is. I think it’s a fair critique for Felix, too, at least to some degree. BUT this gets into the trope versus cliche argument. As I see it, a cliche is born from poor handling of a trope. A trope is something widely known that can be used as shorthand to get across a general understanding of something before building upon it creatively, whereas the use of a cliche IS the entirety of the idea which is then regurgitated without so much as an attempt at adding anything new. This elevation basically comes down to writing. Three Houses is full of this trope-driven language, especially noticeable in Dimitri, Sylvain, and Felix and the way their tropes are used as a base to create solid and interesting characters. I’ll note that there are other places in the game where it’s not as successful, but that’s a separate discussion that has more to do with some core issues I have with the game’s story/supports. But, yeah, Felix is indeed an edgy tsundere. And the game revels in it. When elevating a trope you can go a few different ways, but one of the styles that’s coming back into popularity is that of using tropes to their very fullest potential by making no attempt to subvert expectations. Following this direction, the writer takes everything that a trope embodies - the good, the bad, and the ugly - and molds an interesting character from it by teasing out the core ideas associated with the trope, creating some new out of the very best of what that trope can offer. After the era of an obsession of subverting tropes, it makes sense that things are swinging back around to ‘basics’.  

SO, internet commenter, Felix is an edgy tsundere. He’s angsty and has a tortured past and lots of baggage. He’s mean to the point that makes him nearly unlikable at times. He makes a big deal about his lack of interest in people and denies the very idea of affection or allowing people to see past his prickly exterior. And holy hell is he angry, a very attractive bundle of ice, pain, and rage. Felix is soft, too. He’s afraid of letting others get close and clumsy with the very idea of affection in any capacity. When he does soften up, it’s awkward because he has no idea how to express himself in that way. He’s lost, at multiple points Felix recognizes that his goals and abilities will be rendered null eventually, that there will come a time that the only things he values about himself will become useless. Felix’s endings show him orienting himself around the people he loves for direction and strength, a direct opposition to how he starts the game as a ‘lone wolf’. What I’m trying to say is that the best part of Felix isn’t the otome aspect of being a tsundere, but how the tsundere traits impacted and elevated the rest of his character.

I Am You- Chapter 7

Pairing: OC X Bang Chan X Jisung X Changbin

Genre: Romantic Fantasy

Warnings: Smut and Language

Previous Chapters: (chapter 1), (chapter 2), (chapter 3), (chapter 4), (chapter 5), (chapter 6)

1 Year Ago

Changbin might pretend to be indifferent, but it’s only because he had always been taught to act and behave in a certain way. His father was strict, adamant that Changbin disguise those weak emotions with strength and endurance instead. However, try as one might, there was only so much a person could take until they reached their inevitable breaking point.

And Changbin had found his in our betrayal. An attempt to keep him in the shadows, ignorant of pack politics while Jisung and Chan fought for the right to call themselves head alpha. But when Changbin found out, he could no longer hide his anger and disappointment, storming out of the room and leaving behind a string of curses.

And that’s how I found him later, standing at the edge of the clearing while gazing out into the empty woods. Perhaps that’s how Changbin felt inside: empty and alone because his packmates had so clearly disregarded his feelings. My mates thought they were doing the right thing, but seldom is the right decision an easy one to make.

“I’m sorry I lied to you,” I said later on while gripping tightly to his arm. 

Changbin shook his head, looking off into the horizon. The sun was setting, a faint pinkish glow illuminating the sky. “I get it,” he said. “They didn’t want me as head alpha.”

I trembled. “Changbin,” I started, “don’t think so low of yourself.”

“Am I even worthy of being your mate?” he asked, self-deprecating, ignoring my small gasp as he pulled his arm free from my hold.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Present

“Jisung,” I said firmly, glaring down at the squirming male in question. “You’d better tell me what’s going on.”

Jisung cleared his throat, refusing to look at me. “Chan doesn’t want you involved.”

“Yeah?” I questioned, bending down to grab his chin, forcing our eye contact. “If you expect me to help you with your rut next month, then you’ll tell me everything that’s happened with the rogues.”

Jisung’s accompanying expression was one of absolute betrayal. “You would let me suffer?”

I rolled my eyes. “You have a working hand don’t you?”

Jisung scoffed. “I’m not gonna masturbate through my rut like a teenage boy.”

“And what has Changbin been doing all this time?” I smirked. “He never let me help before and he was perfectly fine.”

“Maybe he’s okay with that,” Jisung shot back. “You shouldn’t use that as blackmail! Chan has his reasons for keeping you in the dark.”

“I’m sure he does,” I argued. “He probably thinks he’s protecting me somehow.” I shook my head because Chan was far too stubborn. “It’s really embarrassing when the other females ask me about the situation, but I have no idea what to tell them.”

“The patrols are handling it.”

“Jisung, you just invited another pack into our territory! It doesn’t exactly scream that we have everything under control, does it?”

Jisung pouted. “Please don’t make me tell you. The three of us haven’t been able to get along lately. If I disobeyed an order from Chan, I’d get dragged into the same mess as Changbin!”

“Fine,” I shrugged. “But I hope you like sleeping alone tonight.”

“Myah,” Jisung whined, even as I was already slamming the door to his bedroom shut behind me.

Chan was clearly busy when I approached him later that day. He was conversing sternly with Taeyong, the NCT pack leader. I decided to hold back, waiting for the two of them to finish their business. I knew I would be much less likely to get information from Chan if I interrupted his talk with Taeyong. You see, Chan was acting much more serious lately, a result of him taking full responsibility as the pack’s head alpha. I was proud of him for holding his responsibilities in such high regard, but I was also a little disappointed with the friction it was causing between his best friends. 

Taeyong offered me a delicate bow as he walked by. I waited until he was out of hearing range before confronting Chan. “There you are, Myah,” Chan greeted me, touching his nose to my scent gland before frowning. “You smell like Jisung.”

“I saw him this morning.”

Chan huffed, taking a step back. “The two of you shouldn’t have sex so close to his next rut. It might trigger it early.”

“We weren’t having sex,” I said, annoyed with Chan’s possessiveness. “Am I not allowed to see my mates now without your permission?”

Chan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Did you come here to fight?”

“Of course not,” I sighed. “But I have a feeling you’re not in the mood to hear me out.”

“It’s my job to listen to you,” Chan said. “What’s on your mind?”

“The rogues.”

Chan shook his head, gazing off somewhere behind me. “You don’t need to worry about the rogues.”

“Channie,” I argued, going right for his weak spot. “Don’t you think I should know? I’m the pack alpha’s mate and I can’t even tell the other members anything!”

“That isn’t your job,” Chan insisted. “They shouldn’t be so nosy. I’ll hold a pack meeting tonight.”

“There’s no need for that,” I countered. “Unless you’re finally gonna tell us what’s really going on with the borders. I bet Taeyong told his pack.”

Chan winced at the remark. “Actually, Taeyong hasn’t said anything. Only Mark understands what’s going on, and that’s because he personally knows the wolves involved.”

“Does he?” I asked, sensing a potential opening. “What did he say?”

But Chan was tight-lipped. “If you see Changbin later, tell him I’ve been looking for him.”

I growled in frustration as Chan walked by, completely ignoring me as he joined Mark and another NCT wolf who had started in our direction. “Asshole,” I told him, making sure to add as much bitterness as one could through a mind-link.

I went in search of Changbin next, inquiring of his whereabouts from a few lingering pack members. My tsundere mate liked to make himself scarce when things were tense around camp. I figured he probably went hunting or something, but there was no way I was following him into the mountains this time. 

Surprisingly, Jeongin told me that Changbin had been in his cabin all day. “I tried to talk to him earlier,” the younger member said. “But he wouldn’t listen to me.”

I suppose I wasn’t the only victim to Changbin’s moodiness.

Still, I was expecting more difficulty when I knocked on his cabin door and asked if I could come inside. Changbin was quick to acquiesce, flinging open the door with enough force to knock it against the wall, sending me jumping into the air in response. “What the hell was that for?” I asked while allowing him to drag me inside his cabin. 

His unexpectedly gentle kiss was my response, lips sliding across mine smoothly. “I feel like shit,” Changbin said, pulling away to rest his feverish head against mine.

“Binnie,” I soothed, omega instincts kicking in as I led him to his bed. “Are you sick?”

“Just caught something,” Changbin grumbled, refusing to let go of me as he dragged us down on top of the mattress. 

“You’re really hot,” I commented, fitting my palm over his forehead. “Are you hurting?”

“It’s not that bad, Angel,” Changbin said, rumbling softly as he ran his nose across my neck. “You smell like Jisung.”

I tried not to roll my eyes. “His rut is close.”

“You’ll smell like me after this,” Changbin declared proudly as if wearing his sickly scent around camp was something to appreciate. 

“You reek,” I informed him. “Your scent is stronger than usual.”

Changbin’s breath was warm against my throat. “You’ll stay with me, right angel?”

“Of course,” I agreed, sliding my fingers through his sweat-drenched hair. “I just hope Chan doesn't come looking for us.”

Changbin tensed at the mention of Chan. “Isn’t he too busy kissing Taeyong’s ass?”

“Binnie,” I scolded the younger, frowning at the way he burrowed closer. 

“We don’t need them,” Changbin growled, scenting me headily. “We can handle the rogues ourselves.”

“I think Chan wanted to talk to you about the rogues,” I said. “He sure as hell never told me anything,” I added, almost as an afterthought.

“Chan was pissed when he found out that Felix said something about their relationship to NCT,” Changbin admitted. “He doesn’t want anyone else knowing.”

“Why not?” I asked, running my fingertips across Changbin’s puffy cheeks. “Shouldn’t the pack have the right to know?”

“Chan’s orders,” Changbin said, teeth gritted. “He’s pack alpha after all.”

“You voted for him, remember?” 

“Only after he tried to keep me out of it,” Changbin replied, wrapping an arm around my waist. 

“He thought he was doing the right thing,” I said in response. “Why don’t you take your shirt off? It might help you cool down.”

“Is this your way of getting me naked?” Changbin grinned. “I’ll do it for you, angel.”

“Stop it,” I scolded him, pulling away only to help wrestle the constricting material from his torso. “Have you seen Woojin yet?”

“I’ll see him if I feel worse tomorrow,” Changbin said, biceps flexing enticingly as he stretched his arms above his head. 

“He might prevent you from feeling worse,” I said, forcing my eyes away from the unexpectedly attractive sight.

“It’s probably nothing,” Changbin assured me, hands smoothing down his broad chest. “Winter is starting to settle in.”

“An excuse to stay in bed longer,” I said, finding myself leaning into his warmth.

Changbin was quiet for a while, and I figured he had fallen asleep. As a matter of fact, I found myself growing drowsy with the combination of his heat and the comfort of the mattress beneath me. I was moments away from closing my eyes when he spoke up again. “I saw the new pups yesterday,” he said.

It was enough to surprise me into alertness. “Mina’s pups?”

He nodded. “I went with Jisung.”

I grinned. “You should have brought me along. I’ve been looking for a better excuse to see them.”

One of our older pack members had recently given birth to three pups. They were absolutely adorable with their small eyes and cute little button noses. Amelia and I had spent more time there than the kitchens. It was starting to become a problem, especially when Mina’s mate was less than willing to share their cabin with other wolves. But how could anyone resist the heart-wrenching sounds of their precious giggles?

“Do you like pups?” Changbin asked.

“Of course I love pups!” I exclaimed, turning on my side to rest my chin on top of his chest. “Mina’s are so tiny! How can anything be that small?”

Changbin’s eyes met mine and I was taken aback by the raw emotion I saw reflecting back at me. “Maybe you should stop taking your pills.”

I paused, studying him closely. His implication was clear. “Are you serious?”

Changbin nodded. “Maybe on your next heat we can all try.”

His sincerity was unexpected as Changbin was the last mate I thought would inquire about having pups. I knew Jisung adored pups and he was always one of the first to see any new additions to our pack. I usually trailed along after him, adoring the look of glee in his eyes when he held a tiny pup in his strong arms. And as for Chan? Well, my oldest mate liked pups well enough and had considered in passing the idea of having pups of his own one day.

But Changbin?

“Have you talked to the others?” I asked.

“No,” Changbin grunted. “But we haven’t exactly been friendly recently.”

I nodded. “After this mess with the rogues is sorted out, maybe we can all sit down together and talk about it. I don’t want to try when the three of you are fighting.”

Changbin grinned as he practically drug me on top of him. “Okay,” he said, pecking my nose sweetly. “But I get the first knot.”

I groaned at his words, feeling the tight bulge of his cock underneath the thin layer of his worn sweatpants.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The following day, I decided to go hunting with Jisung and Changbin. The elder was feeling better after spending the day isolated away from the pack, and Changbin told me he desperately needed to shift again. Meanwhile, Jisung was feeling just as adventurous, hearing of our plans and demanding to come along. Changbin protested at first, but eventually gave in when I sternly reminded him how important it was for us to all get along. Changbin must have remembered my words from yesterday, immediately complying with Jisung’s wishes.

The three of our wolves padded together along the used trails in the woods, keeping close to camp. It was still potentially dangerous to go out past the edges of the territory when rogues were threatening our pack. However, I knew Changbin would be the last person to refuse his wolf’s obvious attachment to the woods, and Changbin was never intimidated by threats.

And I also longed to stretch my legs and have a nice run through the woods.

Nevertheless, my senses were on high alert as I walked between my two mates. My wolf was minuscule in comparison to Jisung and Changbin, but it was reassuring to know my mates were so much stronger. They would always protect me if danger happened to arise.

Changbin let out a bark as he picked up on a stray scent, nose high in the air as he caught the trail. “This way,” he directed, leading the three of us into a nearby thicket of bushes.

I kept my body close to the ground, hindquarters raised, as I waited for Changbin’s next command. “Why is your ass sticking up,” Jisung teased, nipping at my ear playfully.

“This is the hunter’s stance,” I quipped, ears pricked forward as a faint rustle echoed throughout the surrounding foliage.

“Leave the hunting to the professionals, princess,” Jisung said, stopping to shoulder himself next to Changbin. “What is it?”

“Deer,” Changbin said, tasting the air carefully. “A small doe, maybe.”

Jisung dugs his claws into the forest floor as if anticipating the impending hunt. “Should we take it, Changbin?”

“I could wrestle it down without you,” Changbin grumbled.

Jisung’s wolf huffed as if offended. “I’d overpower it easily!”

“Go ahead,” Changbin challenged, suddenly sitting back on his haunches. “If you’re so skilled at hunting bigger prey.”

Jisung hesitated, but he was far too proud to let Changbin bruise his ego. I watched Jisung crouch down, stealthily moving through the underbrush as he slowly approached the doe who was barely visible through the branches of the trees crowding the area surrounding us. I withheld my laughter as I sat down next to Changbin, allowing him to nuzzle into the side of my neck affectionately. “He’s not low enough,” he told me. “The deer will hear him before he’s ready.”

I watched with interest, silently rooting for Jisung to prove Changbin wrong as he edged closer. Unfortunately, Changbin was rarely wrong in such instances, and I winced when Jisung’s front paw broke a stick beneath his path. Immediately, the deer’s head shot up into the air, eyes blown wide as it studied the nearby vicinity. Jisung panicked, launching himself into a premature attack, barely glancing the deer with his claws before the now spooked creature took off. Jisung was quick to recover his footing, but still not fast enough to track down an animal relying on adrenaline racing through familiar territory.

“Shit!” Jisung cursed as he finally slowed down, watching the deer race away through the woods.

“Nice job,” Changbin snarked, ignoring Jisung as he turned around to look for a new trail to follow.

Jisung held his head down as he passed me. 

“There’s another scent up ahead,” Changbin said, suddenly shifting back to his human form. 

I shifted behind him, confused as to why he had suddenly switched. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong,” he said, beckoning me forward.

I stood next to him, gazing down into the ravine. “It’s beautiful.”

“I’ve seen better,” Changbin grinned, and I rolled my eyes at his cheesy flirtation.

“I almost had that deer!” Jisung abruptly growled, shoving his way between us, arms crossed over his chest.

“Your stance is lacking,” Changbin said, chuckling when Jisung shoved him harshly. “You need more hunting experience.”

“I have more important things to do,” Jisung defended himself, looking in my direction with pitiful eyes. “I’ve been busy with pack stuff.”

“Poor baby,” I cooed. “Maybe you just needed a practice run. You can always try again.”

“I picked up a faint scent on the trail we came up,” Changbin said, nodding to his right. “It might be a smaller doe.”

Jisung followed Changbin and I lingered behind, taking a few more moments to admire the simplistic beauty of our mountain home. “I smell it!” Jisung declared, shifting back to his dusky brown wolf as his nose sniffed across the dirt floor.

“See if you can track it,” Changbin suggested and Jisung needed no further encouragement, determined to make up for his previous blunder. 

I could hear him take off down the trail, feet thundering against the forest floor, purpose driving his steps. In the meantime, I could feel Changbin’s familiar presence as he approached from behind, nose touching the back of my neck while his strong arms wrapped around my middle.

“I really want to fuck you,” Changbin smirked, tucking my hair behind my ear. I studied the trail where Jisung had disappeared into the ravine.

“Is this really an appropriate time?” I asked as he turned me around.

“He’s gone,” Changbin grinned. “And what else are we gonna do?”

“Hunt.”

“I can catch us enough prey,” Changbin bragged, leaning in closer, thumbing at the neckline of my shirt. “Your tits look good in this.”

“What a compliment.”

“Myah,” Changbin pouted, slowly forcing me backward. I allowed him to do so until my back met the rough bark of a nearby tree. “We haven’t had sex in a while.”

“If you were more patient,” I started, brushing my fingers against his gorgeous lips. “We could have sex tonight when we get back to camp.”

“Are you worried about Jisung?” Changbin asked, raising one brow in question.

“You aren’t?” I countered because the idea of Jisung stumbling upon Changbin fucking me against a tree was not exactly sexy.

“He’s not gonna know,” Changbin purred in my ear, reaching for the hem of my skirt. “I sent him after a stale scent. He’ll be searching for a while.”

“Was this your plan all along?” I indulged, allowing him to run his fingers up my bare thigh.

“No,” Changbin shrugged, fingers digging into my flesh. “But you smell really good today.”

“Do I normally smell bad?” I joked, wrapping my hands around his impressive biceps.

He flexed them on purpose. “I love your scent.”

I rolled my eyes playfully. “Changbin, don’t you think this is reckless?”

“I won’t let anything bad happen to you, angel,” he promised, looking for the right words to try and convince me to give in to his demands.

I was close to arguing again before he suddenly lifted me up, forcing my legs to wrap around his waist as he brought our bodies close together. He was unbelievably hard, cock straining against the material of his shorts. “Have you wanted this for a while?” I asked breathily because he was scenting me with purpose, determined to wipe all logical thoughts from my mind.

I barely noticed when his hands managed to push my skirt up to my legs, thumbs rubbing circles into my hip bones.

“I think my wolf was jealous of Jisung,” Changbin admitted, mouthing at the exposed expanse of my chest. “He wants our scent on you.”

“And what better way,” I grinned, curling my fingers through his thick hair.

“You know I like it, angel,” he continued, hips pushing forward into mine. 

“We need to be fast,” I gasped, feeling the burning friction of his fingers as he moved my panties out of the way.

“Take me out,” he growled, eyes trained down as I worked his shorts and underwear down his legs, leaving his cock erect as he worked to support his hands under my thighs.

“Put it in,” I found myself begging, feeling his cock, warm and thick, as he moved us into the perfect position, tip threatening entrance.

And Changbin never needed me to beg for his cock, all too willing to give me whatever I wanted when it meant nothing but pleasure. Which is why I found myself moaning the moment he pushed his way inside, filling me with him slowly, a leisurely pace as if testing my patience. But I eventually learned patience throughout the years of satisfying my mates, so I simply waited until he was all the way inside, pressing against my clit with a wonderful pressure.

And with my skirt bundled up at my waist, legs wrapped around Changbin’s waist, feeling his powerful hands support my thighs with a bruising grip, I gave in to his wishes. It was all too easy to fall victim to his dark energy, and I choked on a sob as his cock moved in and out. He started a powerful rhythm that made it difficult to do anything more than toss my head back against the trunk of the tree, accepting whatever he decided to give me, which was always everything he had coiled tightly in the thick muscles that filled out his body.

“It’s good,” I made sure to tell him, praising him because I knew it would only get better the more I fed his ego, his desire to show off his strength for his mate.

But Changbin still had more demands.

“Show them to me,” Changbin begged, eyes glued to my chest. 

I tried to ignore him, scenting across his throat, teeth scraping along his skin. His dark, spicy smell was driving my omega crazy, and my wolf howled at me to bite him again. It was difficult to resist, so I gave in, gently digging my teeth against the taut flesh of his shoulder blade. “Angel,” Changbin grunted, cock stuttering inside. “Are you listening to me?”

I whined when he slowed down, dragging out with a pace that was not nearly as satisfying. “Don’t stop,” I begged him, trying to force him back inside, pushing down against his grip on my legs. 

He shifted me down, one of my feet touching the ground as his other hand continued to support most of my weight. I focused on taking in more oxygen as he tugged down my top, forcing my breasts to spill out. “That’s fucking hot,” he cursed, lifting me back up before forcing me down onto his thick cock.  

“Come inside,” I begged him, rapidly approaching my release, feeling it build deep inside.

“Are you worried Jisung might see?” Changbin teased, sweat glistening beautifully across his dark skin. 

“I-I’m not,” I managed, eyes closed tightly together as my hands ran across the broad expanse of his chest, feeling his muscles beneath the fabric of his shirt, straining with his efforts.

“He’d come in his pants like a little bitch,” Changbin snarled, mouth moving harshly across my breasts, tongue frequently taking the liberty to tease my sensitive nipples. 

I could feel his knot growing, threatening to lock us together. It was enough to finally break me out of my pheromone-induced haze. “Changbin,” I said, “you can’t knot me out here.”

Changbin groaned, nipping at his mating mark on my neck. “Can I come inside your mouth?”

“Absolutely,” I agreed breathily, unable to stop from moaning when my orgasm suddenly hit courtesy of a well-timed thrust from Changbin, knot catching slightly on my entrance.

He growled, pulling out completely before helping me settle onto my knees in front of him. “Fuck, I like you this way, angel,” he whispered, hands wrapping into my hair.

I didn’t answer, opening my mouth to allow him access. His cock sat heavy on my tongue and I hollowed my cheeks, lips stretching to accommodate him, pausing at the swell of his arousal. It didn’t take long for Changbin to finally cum, releasing down my throat, bitter but satisfying. He finally pulled out slowly, flaccid length falling from my reddened lips. 

We were both trying to catch our breath as we adjusted our clothes, trying to hide the evidence of our coupling. Unfortunately, when Changbin leaned in closer to kiss me, I could easily smell our sex permeating his scent. Jisung might not have Changbin’s superior sense of smell, but even a human could catch on to what we had been doing.

“We might be in trouble,” Changbin said, grinning against my wet skin.

After a while, I could hear the faint sound of Jisung’s paws against the underbrush. “He’s gonna smell us.”

“He’ll get you all to himself in a few weeks,” Changbin said, pressing one more lingering kiss to his mating mark.

I laughed when Jisung came into view, shifting into his human form. “He’s gonna be pissed.”

“I don’t care,” Changbin declared, holding me tightly against him, as if afraid to let go.

I merely laughed when Jisung immediately scrunched his nose as he came closer, the heavy smell of our sex assaulting the air surrounding us.

Last Song, A FeliAnne fic

Disclaimer: Fire Emblem and characters belong to the original creator

Summary: Becoming separated from the Kingdom's army after a battle during the war, Annette finds herself in dire situation, thinking about the one she loves most. In her final moments, the pure-hearted girl does what she does best.  (Felix x Annette)

After doing literally 6 runs of this game and all routes, I've finally gotten around to writing a fic for my 2nd OTP of the game (the first being Dimileth). Hope ya'll enjoy

This is bad. So bad...I can't believe I really screwed this up.

Annette anxiously thought as she stumbled her way through the dark, unfamiliar woods of the Empire's territory. With each strained step forward, the redhead kicked herself as she lamented the biggest mistake she had ever made since joining the war with her companions.

The surroundings grew cold and damp as rain began falling through the tree tops, causing the ground to become muddy and slippery. Eventually, Annette found she could go no further. Her body was beyond exhaustion and hurt intensely. The female's body collapsed against a nearby tree. Annette slowly slid down into a sitting position and watched as the large drops of rain poured down.

If I hadn't forgotten part of the Professor's plan and followed my unit to the east instead of west, I wouldn't have gotten separated. I really am...such a klutz...

Tears sprung to Annette's eyes as she balled her hand into a fist and shoved it into the dirt. As she did, the beautiful sparkling ring on her finger became coated in mud.

"Oh no...!" She shouted, immediately realizing what she had just done. Annette used her other hand to dig around in her pocket in search of a handkerchief. Pulling out the piece of cloth, the clumsy girl began tentatively rubbing it against the ring's surface.

With only a few seconds, the ring was as good as new, thankfully. Annette breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh, thank the Goddess. Leave it to me to immediately mess up the ring he just gave me...Annette let out a half laugh as she forced a smile, Really, I can't believe myself sometimes.

Annette ran her fingers along the ring's pretty gem that reflected her face in it as she looked at it. Her somewhat pained grin transformed into a happy one as she thought of the man who had given the ring only a month ago. While the two of them had been dating since their reunion at Garreg Mach, the actual proposal had come as a complete shock. Though the happiness she received from it certainly out-wayed the surprise.

Annette shut her eyes and let the memory of that day she received the jewelry play back in her mind.

"Marry me."

Annette dropped the watering can she'd been holding, sending a bunch of water spilling everywhere. In sync with this, the girl's mouth also fell agape while the rest of her face went blank.

"Eh? W-What?" The somewhat air-headed girl found her sight falling down at the box being presented to her by her boyfriend, Felix Hugo Fraldarius. Unable to find the right words to respond with in the moment, Annette simply mumbled nervously, "F-Felix, I d..."

"What, you don't want to? Tch." As usual, Felix's voice was stern and somewhat cold. The heir to the Fraldarius house let out an annoyed sigh before turning away, trying to hide his red face, "Forget I said anything then. See you." Was all the man said as he began to take his leave.

Annette felt her surprise turn into instant panic when she saw him walk away. Without even thinking it through, she quickly grabbed hold of Felix's arm, followed by giving the limb a hard yank. The force pulled Felix back towards Annette, and before the two realized, the couple was on the floor with Felix on top. Both of the Blue Lion member's faces turned redder than Edelgard's armor.

"W-What the hell was that for?!" Felix shouted, feeling far more embarrassed now than a few moments ago.

"Because you were about to leave! I had to stop you!"

"Y-Yeah, I was, because you obviously didn't like the ring, woman!"

Annette shook her head dramatically, "T-That wasn't the reason, Felix! I was just shocked. I mean, who just pulls out a proposal in the middle of tending the greenhouse?"

The tsundere warrior clenched his teeth like that of an angry wolf as his cheeks blushed even brighter, "I knew I shouldn't have listened to that dumbass..."

By 'dumbass', Annette could only surmise that her boyfriend was referring to their house's famous playboy Sylvain Jose Gautier.

The couple removed themselves from the floor and turned away, both of them too flustered to know what to say to the other next. However, the silence only lasted a few minutes before Felix gathered up what little was left of his courage to voice his thoughts,

"Look, I get it, all right. I realize better than anyone that I'm not the best choice for a husband. Hell, even I don't think that role suits a warrior like me." Felix groaned while running fingers through his strewn about bangs, "I mean, before I met you, Annette, I never planned on marrying anyone, even for the sake of continuing my family's line. When I first started at the academy, I only wanted to grow stronger. I had no interest at all of taking a partner or doing the cliche things any son of a noble family has to do. But now, things are...different."

Annette parted her lips to say something but her boyfriend placed his fingertip to her mouth to stop her.

Felix's beautiful red orbs trembled as he let out every honest feeling he had, "We've been going out since basically the Blue Lion's reunion. I just thought, that, given the recent events during this goddess forsaken war...and since I'm the one who will have to carry on my family's house since my idiot of a father's gone...a-and since I..c-care about...you, I figured if I had to take a wife, then..."

Annette felt her heartbeat speed up as she observed the precious sight that was a nervous, stuttering Felix. This moment was just as endearing the last time he'd gone into this state, which was ironically the day he confessed to liking her, which had also taken place in the very same greenhouse they stood in now.

Also just like before, Felix ended up becoming so overloaded with his feelings that he suddenly cut himself out and shouted, "Damn it, just forget it, okay! I don't have a frickin' clue what I'm even saying anymore!"

As the dark-haired man made yet another attempt to flee, Annette responded once more with reaching out to him. However, instead of grabbing his arm, she pulled Felix into the tightest hug her tiny body could manage.

"I'll marry you."

"Huh?" Felix looked down at Annette who was peering up at him like an adorable kitten. The only words the embarrassed man could respond with, were, "...You will?"

"W-Well, I do love you too, so o-of course I will!" Annette lowered her face so that her orange bangs fell over her eyes, "I'm sorry, I never meant to make it seem like I rejected you. I was just so...shocked. I guess I've just been having too much fun lately, with us spending all our free days together that I never imagined anything would change." The sweet-hearted girl closed any remaining distance between the two of them. She then rested her chin onto Felix's shoulder lovingly, "Except, I do have one condition. Is that okay?"

Felix, still at a loss, simply returned the hug and whispered back, "What is it...?"

"The next free day we get, you have to help me with writing my newest song."

Felix's gaze fell into his love's as she flashed him one of her famous angelic smiles. Without even realizing he was doing it, the tsundere responded with his rare kind smirk that he only ever showed her when they were alone, "O-okay, sure. What song will it be this time? More swamp besties, or maybe a sequel to the library piece?"

Annette's smile deepened as her boyfriend continued to excitedly press for details about the song. Though he didn't know it yet, Annette had the most perfect idea for this song than any of her past works. And she knew once it was finished, Felix would be happier than he ever had been listening to the other songs.

Ahh...that's right. We never got to...finish it...

A thick stream of red flowed down Annette's chin as she came back into contact with realty. Slowly, she raised her left hand to admire the ring again. However, this time, the sight of the lovely jewelry was blurred and hard to make out.

Hot tears fell as Annette tried to calm her breathing, feeling a disturbing feeling rise from within her.

"It'll be okay. I may be too weak to use any of my white magic to heal, and I've also run out of all my concoctions the Professor had given me before the battle, but..."

The sight of Felix's handsome features flashed through Annette's mind in time with a bit of lightning that struck near where she rested. The loud sound of thunder crackling was drowned out in Annette's mind by her love's voice repeating things he'd said to her over their time together,

"You have nice footwork."

"I can't forget. It's permanently etched into my memory."

"If you blow up the library, where will we put the books?"

"You shouldn't dance up there, you could fall."

"What, you're not going to sing anymore?"

"It's like I'm your captive. I hear you sing whenever I'm asleep, or on the battlefield..."

"Sing for me, please Annette?"

The light in Annette's eyes soon became as gray as the sky overhead as she listened to her memories carefully. With each second, she could feel her consciousness begin to fade. So an idea came to mind.

Using the last bit of energy remaining within her, Annette pulled out her magic grimoire and cast a spell she had recently learned in secret back in the Garreg Mach library. Though it was her first time really using the spell, she was sure it would work. After mumbling an incantation, a clear orb of light appeared in midair. Annette stared into the orb, watching her reflection in the orb's clear surface.

He never...got to hear the finished version...and knowing Felix, I'm sure he'll be super angry if he doesn't get to listen to it just once.

Despite the fact that Annette's body had lost all feeling and ability to move now, she pushed herself with everything she had to flash one goofy grin at the orb. Her blood-stained lips then parted as she began to sing.

"Hey, you hear something?"

Two Imperial soldiers walked along the woods, set on the task to find any remaining enemies still sneaking around.

"No, do you?" The second Imp asked his comrade who seemed to be looking off in a specific direction.

"Call me crazy, but I swear I hear a girl singing. It's coming from over here..."

The two followed the sound until, just as the first soldier had stated- a girl came into sight before them. Her voice was hoarse and weak. The singing had gotten much quieter too in the short time it had taken the Imps to discover her. The men approached the tree, both drawing their swords as they did so. The singing immediately stopped as the dying woman looked up at them with eyes as dead as a fish's.

"Tch, this bitch is totally finished. Just look at that disgusting face over hers."

"She's probably a stray from that damned Kingdom army. Just finish her and we can go back home."

The first soldier leered down at her as he raised his sword. Weapon ready to strike its final blow, the man asked the girl, "Any last words, you brat?"

She watched both men for a minute, her expression still and unshaken. For a moment, the soldiers wondered if she'd already bit the dust. However, without warning, a weak smile found itself across the girl's face. A shaking arm covered in bruises and crimson reached out to one of the men.

The Imps just exchanged looks and shook their heads in disgust. His patience completely gone by this point, the soldier brought down his sword. As he did, the girl's voice could just barely be heard as the steel of the weapon slashed through her flesh.

"Well...did you like the song...Felix...?"

The sound of her body falling into the mud was drowned out as the rain pounded down harder than it had. The only thing that could be heard after was the sound of two cackling males.

"Felix, slow down! If you keep charging through enemy territory like this, we'll get sniped before we can ever find her!"

"Shut the hell up, Sylvain! Finding her is more important than anything else right now!"

The two distressed childhood friends rode through the last place their fellow comrades had seen Annette before she'd gotten separated from the army.

"J-Just calm down, man! It's bad enough you cursed his Highness and Teach out before stealing one of the army's horses and..."

"I SAID TO SHUT UP!"

Sylvain had basically lived his entire life being screamed at by Felix. Their entire relationship really was just 99% of the grouchy male shouting at the playboy. However, the way Felix had shrieked at him just now was unlike any of the other times. Felix's voice was beyond cracking, almost as if he were choking back the urge to cry from the fear he was currently experiencing.

From the moment Byleth had informed their class of Annette's missing whereabouts, Felix had become an entirely different person. Honestly, his disposition was reminiscent of Dimitri's wild behavior from a month prior.

Deciding to remain quiet, the son of the Gautier house continued riding behind Felix. It didn't take long before they finally reached the place they had set out for. Though what they discovered there, was far from anything the two had hoped for.

"Oh shit..." Sylvain choked out as he and Felix dismounted their horses.

Felix's face that had been full of panic and anger a moment ago was now overtaken with a mix of horror and sorrow as he took in the disturbing sight by a tree in the forest's center.

"Ah..." Felix stumbled through a mix of dirt and blood on the ground over to a figure lying motionless on the ground. With each inch closer the usually stoic man got to the scene, his heart clenched painfully. Eventually, Felix made it over so he could get a clear view of the sight. For a moment, he just stood still. Looking down at the body, he noticed a bloody ring shimmering up at him.

Sylvain swallowed hard while he waited Felix to voice their worst fears. However, when Felix stood motionless for a solid two minutes, the redhead became concerned and tried to call out to his best friend. As Felix's name left Sylvain's mouth, another bolt of lightning flashed- lighting up every part of the dark scenery around them. Time itself seemed to come to a stop for only a second. In the lit up area, Sylvain felt his breath leave him when his eyes caught sight of Annette laying there at Felix's feet, her face lifeless as could be. As the lightning finished striking, Felix fell to his knees. As he did, the tie holding his long hair back snapped. Black locks flew around and then coated over Felix's face. His mind shutting down, Felix's body began moving on its arms took hold of Annette's breathless body. Holding her close, Felix ran fingers along his fiance's ice cold cheeks. He pushed some straying hairs out of her still opened eyes as his hallow ones stared down at her.

"...Sorry...for being late..." Felix's voice was disturbingly calm as he spoke. His head fell against Annette's own, "I've been late the last several times during our cleaning duties lately too...you'll have to scold me later, won't you..." Though his eyes held no emotion in them anymore, beads of water formed in their corners, "...Annette..."

Sylvain turned away from the scene, partially to give his best friend some privacy but also because his own heart could barely take this scene.

"Why the hell did this have to happen to her of all people...Damn the Empire..." Slyvain shut his eyes painfully as he lamented everything about this situation. Of all the horrors their class had witnessed in this awful war, this was by far the worst. After some time, the rain finally let up. Noticing the change, Sylvain decided the next course of action they should take. He slowly made his way over to Felix who was still holding Annette in silence.

Placing a hand onto Felix's shoulder, Sylvain spoke, "Hey, Felix...I think we should start heading ba-" But the red haired male was cut off mid-sentence when the corner of his eye caught something odd shining from the ground nearby. Walking over to it, he picked up what appeared to be a sphere of some sort.

"What the hell is this...? An enemy's weapon they dropped, or...?" In an attempt to discover what the item was, Slyvain began messing around with the orb in hand. After pressing a finger to a certain spot, the orb suddenly glowed more brightly. A moment later, Annette's smiling face could be seen mirrored in the sphere's center.

"F-Felix, look!"

Hesitant to listen to anything at this point, said male reluctantly looked back. His red eyes widened greatly when he spotted the face of his love reflecting from the sphere in his friend's hand.

"What..."

Before the two men could say anything else, Annette's voice echoed from the object and her face began moving as if she were still alive before them,

"Hi, Felix. If you're watching this, than, uh...I may...already be gone. I'm casting a special spell so I can make sure I show you something special, just in case...you don't...make it here in ti-"

The sphere showed Annette hacking up blood before she continued. Both Felix and Sylvain watched in agony as the recording continued.

"S-Sorry about that! You know me, Felix, I'm such a klutz. I kinda...got into some trouble after getting separated from the others, so please don't mind my, ...appearance, okay? Hee hee."

Felix's vision blurred intensely as he kept watching the last moments of Annette from the sphere.

Anyway, I didn't ever get to show you the finished song. You know, the one we came up with together. I made some changes to it without telling you, and I wanted you to hear it. I think you'll really like this one. Be sure to let me know what you think, okay? Remember Felix, I won't forgive you if you don't tell me how you feel about it afterwards! Oh, and..." Annette paused before bringing up her hands in an apology gesture, "I never made a dance to go along with this one. Sorry about that...I know how much you loved my footwork after all. But to make up for the lack of dance, I-I put in extra love! Oh, geez, that actually sounded way less cheesy in my head...Uh, anyways...here it goes. I hope you enjoy it, Felix!"

Annette's face brightened as her took in a deep breath. A second later, her beautiful singing sounded out.

The song was unlike anything Felix had ever heard from her. It was as cutesy and happy as any of her others, but the her voice went to a different level when it sung this number. The lyrics spoke of her feelings for him and the future she was excited to share with Felix once the war was finally over. Though the song only lasted a moment before the recording finally cut out, the music touched to his very core. Unable to hold himself back any longer, Felix dropped to the ground again and took hold of Annette's body. As the lyrics of her song ran through his mind, the sound of his pained sobs drowned out everything else. Meanwhile, Sylvain walked back over to the horses and turned his eyes towards the sky. How cruel and how ironic the sky looked overhead. It had been pouring since the moment the battle against the Empire started but now it was free of clouds and showing the first sight of the sun peering down at them.

...That sky...it's a lot like Annette herself. Bright and free of any dark at all. I wonder if she's watching us from up there with the Goddess...

Sylvain buried his head against the neck of his horse as he too let his emotions overcome him.

Meanwhile, Felix still clung to Annette. As he did, his low voice could be heard singing back the song Annette had performed in the magic sphere.

As the song repeated over and over, the ring on Felix's finger clenched against Annette's.

By a strange turn of fate, two very different people met at the Officer's Academy five years ago. The two were polar opposites in near every way but despite this, the two found joy in each other's company. Though their future together had been ripped away, the Blue Lions would never forget the love that had been shared between their powerful warrior and pure angel.

Author's Comments: Let me just say one thing...I apologize for the abrupt end of this. I do think I wanna write one more chapter to this but my brain just gave out at the end here and I couldn't think of any more so I'm very sorry *bows*

I also apologize for not actually writing out Annette's song. I so very wanted to but Annette has such a unique song style and I can't write songs for crap any ways. Though if any one is willing to come up with one, I'll be more than happy to include and credit you in the next chapter.

I bet you guys are wondering just how TF I'm gonna write another chapter after this major angst, so I'll give you a hint: Byleth's powers. That's all I'm gonna say.

Anyways, thanks so much for reading. Please, please, PLEASE leave a review if you enjoyed and what you hope to see in the next chapter. Feedback is very appreciated

Pls pls pls pls pls can I get some Felix/Claude headcanons?

I’m gonna make this a continuation of this post. X

In the beginning of their relationship, they aren’t really that explicit in their affections for each other. Like sure, they’ll stand really close together, like so close it’s hard to think they’re not dating but they won’t actually do much pda. 

Although, I’m sure Claude would love to show off his stoic, tsundere bf Felix but he does respect Felix’s boundaries and his lone wolf persona. After all, Claude does unfortunately understand keeping up appearances and reputations all too well. 

The most he’d do would probably sling an arm around Felix’s shoulders, making sure that it’s subtle enough but it gets the point across that they’re both taken. 

Claude hates to have to scheme to keep people away from his man but that’s life I suppose. He won’t admit to it but Claude would be the jealous one in this relationship.

Although that doesn’t mean that Felix isn’t going to possessively drag Claude off to spar when he sees some npc girl make eyes at Claude or try and flirt with him. 

As if they could touch a god like Claude without having to get test their blade against his sword.  

Felix would definitely request to switch classes. He would tell Professor Byleth that it would only be because he wanted to get stronger but they would easily see through it as just wanting to be near his boyfriend.

When they’ve finally reached the level of Felix accepting some minimal pda, Claude would be all over it. He’d randomly grad Felix’s hand and drag him off somewhere or kiss his cheek. Always making sure that Felix is ok with it. I mean, Claude’s a tease and he loves seeing the blush that lightly coats Felix’s face afterwards. 

A lot of their more sweet and caring moments do come from behind closed doors in the form of cuddles and sparring. Felix has always been better at expressing himself during his sword practice. They both really treasure these moments, seeing as how they can be themselves and not have to worry about the responsibilities they have within the school and outside of it.

Some notes on Felix’s tea time banter

Now that we have a comprehensive guide on what everyone likes to talk about during tea time, I took a little snoop to find some interesting things to learn about the resident grade-A tsundere. Aside from the usual “hates sweetness, likes swords, training and sword training etc., there are some surprsingly fun things to look at. I might do this for others later, but this is where I start off:

Interested topics:

“Cats..”

- Glad to know Felix fulfills the number one criteria for being a good person: Liking cats. I can also see him secretly dangling strings for some of the kitties at the monastery, only to claim he is” training them” when caught (like Sten from Dragon Age).

“Children at the market…”

- Good with kids? Geez Felix, I know a lot of your tough guy attitude is just an act, but this really clinches it. I almost expect him to admit to liking rainbows and butterflies next. 

“Reliable allies…”

- This is interesting, because unlike the “evaluating allies” and “potential training partners” this can’t be construed as only caring about honing his own skills against them. As much as he claims to only want to fight alone, this is one of the things that shows he understands the value of fighting alongside others. 

“Shareable snacks…”

- Put a pin in this. Probably no sweets, but this porcupine is carrying some non-essential food on him at times. And he thinks about sharing them.

“Someone you look up to…”

- This is likely the MC, as he expresses admiration for both their strength and philosophy as a mercenary, but it is interesting how open he is about discussing this. Yes, we all focus on when he roasts people, but he is actually pretty generous with his praise when he feels it’s earned. This is, amusingly, the case with Annette and her dancing too.

“The opera…”

- He praises Annette’s dancing and singing, obviously enjoys his time at the White Heron cup (despite feeble attempts at hiding it), and happily discusses the opera... I get the feeling in another life, he’d be an opera star on the same level Dorothea and you can’t change my mind.

“Working together…” 

- Again, you are doing a wonderful job on this whole lone wolf thing, Felix. I swear...

Final Comment

“Some people like to snack when they take a break. No willpower.”

- See, guys? Felix is a totally professional soldier who never eats unhealthy food and thinks about sharing it with anyone, no sirrrrr.

“Join me for sword training again. I want to know my victory isn’t a fluke.”  

- I imagine this only happens after A support? Still great that the game aknowledges that an MC isn’t the be all and all in a certain skill.  

I wish I had the Japanese script for this too, to compare. Just the audio, that I can’t even replay at will, isn’t reliable enough for me to make judgements. Still, I love how this expands Felix’s character. There’s a lot more to him than simply being another Navarre archetype.

RWBY Volume 7 Chapter 2

Sorry it's late (work is a pain), but here are my thoughts and opinions on Chapter 2 of RWBY Volume 7, "A New Approach"

SPOILERS BELOW:

While my initial reaction to the new theme song was just as lukewarm as the last three were, I can already feel it growing on me. Excellent.

I guess it wouldn't be Nora if she wasn't going feral on her handcuffs. I wonder if all of the Rooster Teeth animations are in the same universe and she's not distantly related to Camp Camp's Nikki.

I didn't even realize that there was someone else in the carriage with them last episode. He feels like a random (if somewhat comedic) one-off, but the credits name him as "Forest", so perhaps we'll see him in the future.

Oh come on, Robyn Hill and her Happy Huntresses? Are Miles and Kerry even trying to be subtle with the character allusions anymore?

Woah, now THAT is a beautiful reveal shot of Atlas. Really shows the scale of the place.

Ooh, Atlas Academy looks swanky.

Geez, Winter, I'm sure asking nicely or even phrasing it as an order would have done just fine. Though I suppose that is an appropriate reintroduction to your character.

Wow. Ironwood's office is huge! It's like he took one look at Ozpin's and said "There is no way I'm letting him have this"

Of all of the reactions I expected Ironwood to have to the heroes stealing an airship, mild amusement was not one of them.

Adorable hugs is starting to become one of Weiss's signature moves and I am all for it.

Not gonna lie, my initial reaction to Ironwood telling them about the Relics and Salem wasn't too in favor of it, but the more I thought about it, was it really too different from Qrow telling Team RNJR about it in Volume 4?

Why do I get the feeling that the Staff of Creation is not safe inside the vault? I mean, I believe that Penny thinks it is, but it totally isn't, right?

Hmm, so the Winter Maiden is some old woman? I guess that squashes any theories about it either being Winter or Willow, since I'm sure they would have made a point to mention that by now.

"I needed to ensure that Salem couldn't infiltrate Atlas" Yeeeeeaaaaaah, about that.

Hmm, turning Amity into Remnant's first global communication satellite? I like it. Not sure how well the whole "out of reach from the Grimm" part will work now that Salem's got her flying monkey's. Though I suppose they aren't the first airborne Grimm, so there's nothing to say they can reach higher than the others.

Hoo boy, there's a lot to unpack here. On one hand, I can see where Ironwood's thinking is going with this plan to tell everyone about Salem. With Grimm being the number one problem of the world, banding all of Remnant together against her isn't exactly the most outlandish of fantasies. That being said, I imagine that there are scores of people like Tyrian, Watts, Hazel, and Cinder that wouldn't have any problems with joining her, and with Salem exposed, she would have ample opportunity to spread her own message of a brand new world and recruit such people to her cause. Eventually, it would turn into an all out war between Salem's now sizable faction against the rest of Remnant. If anything Ironwood's plan would really only help Salem's plans in the long run. I'm also suspicious about Ironwood's plan to come in and "help out"other kingdoms once he tells them about Salem. It sounds to me like a scheme to get back into everyone's good graces after every single stunt he's pulled since the Fall.

To quote Blake from the previous episode, Ironwood's reaction to Oscar's identity is strangely wholesome.

Hmm, Ruby's lying to Ironwood not unlike Oz kept things from them. Can't say I blame her. Ironwood hasn't exactly proven himself to be trustworthy in the past, and while I like a lot of the things he's selling, I'm getting the feeling that he's keeping plenty from them. Still, after their reactions to Ozpin's secrets in the previous volume, I wonder if this is going to lead to some small arc where Ruby and the gang grow to realize the position he was in, and later apologize to him when they next speak to him. That would certainly be nice.

I wonder what kind of weapon upgrades we might be seeing. We've seen Gambol Shroud getting repaired, Yang's arm getting buffed, and the OP showed off Jaune's shield getting a hard light enhancement (Jaune is slowly becoming Felix), but I wonder if anyone else will be getting upgrades as well.

Ok, now we get to meet the the Ace Ops (which I can not believe I missed as a pun on Aesop's) properly. Thankfully, the credits gave us their full names, so here we get: -Elm Ederne (who I believe to be the Plane Tree. My quick search didn't bring up too many fables about trees, and she doesn't seem arrogant enough to be the Oak from The Oak and the Reed). She seems really friendly, if a bit overly energetic. I can't wait to see more of her. -Marrow Amin, who is either a dog or wolf faunus (hopefully dog, Aesop tended to cast wolves as villains, which would not bode well here). To put it simply, he's a tsundere. Moreso than Weiss ever was. Dear lord. -Clover Ebi (obviously based on A Fisherman's Good Luck, considering his weapon and numerous good luck charms). Seems rather generic for now, but we'll see how he develops. -Harriet 'Hare' Bree. Oh, come on guys. I'm trying to feel really clever figuring this stuff out, which is very hard when you just give it to us like that. From her competitive tendencies to her Flash-like effects in the OP, clearly this the Hare from easily one of Aesop's most famous fables, The Tortoise and the Hare. Side note, I like that they gave forwent the obvious route in making her a rabbit Faunus (unless there's a cottontail we're not seeing) and instead simply gave her rabbit-ear-like bangs. It's a nice creative touch. -Vine Zeki (not a clue). He looks like Zenyetta had a weird robo-love-child with ABLE from gen:LOCK.

Oh my, I can hear the Ironqrow shippers screaming for joy.

It just occurred to me that Penny probably doesn't get tired. Gawd it's great to have her back.

Damn, Watts looks sharp as hell in that coat.

Or should I say, Dr. Arthur 'No Fucks Given' Watts.

Listening to Tyrian murder someone as he casually complains about moving around is highly disturbing.

Ooh. That's a lot of blood. Hope it wasn't originally inside of somebody we know.
