One more thing,

[heyseihai]

Some commoners asking Tenjin how could he be fooled by a nobody that 100% surely is pretending to be a Serpent, for everybody knows they're extinct for years. They fear he's beeing fooled by a foreigner.

Tenjin saying he wasn't fooled, and that a King doesn't make mistakes. He knows she's not lying, because of the test they've done to verify her race.

Some commoners wanting to see it with their own eyes.

Tenjin refusing to test Seihai again for once his decision made, he doesn't waver, and making the test again would be some sort of "I doubt the first test, I wanna do another to squash every last bit of uncertainty left". If there's uncertainty, it means he's not confident or true to his word enough to be a King.

But you can also see it as some sort of unnoticed worry about her wellbeing. He knows History and how her race was considered too fragile and weak for their own good. The future of his dynasty was that pathetic and miserable faery, who needed to be shielded from harm. And when they insist on the matter, Tenjin won't say it, but as much as he respected the people of his kingdom to the point of taking Seihai with him to present her to all of them, decisions regarding the royal consort were none of their business: If he is the one to enjoy her, he will be the only one to decide anything related to her.

Some commoners somehow realizing the King's train of thought and sighing as if thinking it's too late, the King is already bewitched by that foreigner.

Charasriel and Friskriel!

first: thank you :) Charasriel

What made you ship it?

oh man. so much! everything about it! not in a world without you speech gets me... the whole asriel not being ready to say goodbye speech...

ironically, no mercy route probably made me ship it extra hard because of how much dread is injected into the dynamic there - i felt extremely bad about that route, but fascinated.

after all these years it's you i promise i won't do anything to get in your way, i can help maybe it would be okay if we just lived on the surface the two of us...

asriel's obvious obsession, and the rockiness between the two despite how close they were... that's fascinating.

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

oh man, so many things about it!

I think charasriel is very obviously my peak 'go to' ship - it is very obviously what I love condensed into this. thing. I love the mourning, I love the codependency, I love all the different interpretations of their dynamic and different ways you can read certain things - and how you can never know EXACTLY how it went down which allows you to keep tackling the same moments from different perspectives. kind of like turning a little piece of trauma in your hands over and over again, kind of like flowey/az does haha. I love how asriel and chara are Bad Kids and things go the worst way possible and how they're both entirely different fascinating characters who Have Similarities But Differences. i love how different routes of the game lead to entirely different information on the characters and their relationship. there's so many tiny little pieces of insight to collect about their relationship, but it's all fractured from where you're collecting it.

it is the most pure and distilled codependency ship. you can write about things going wrong in so many ways. i'm a sucker for codependent childhood friends, and here the codependent childhood friends are super plot relevant and serve as this... backbone to every event, even though no one is aware of it.

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

man i try not to complain but I actually AM a little picky about fanfic, so - genre of fic where Chara is Always Right. if you don't know the fic I mean, it goes like this... asriel has flaws (correct) but asriel is spoiled. chara is right because chara is a victim and has seen the abuses of the world. asriel is wrong because he is Spoiled and probably neurotypical and anyway none of what chara did was that bad anyway- - asriel is a simple sweet kid. always innocent. always morally right. always says chara that's wrong! - chara is a simple sweet kid. they just loved gardening. they are super sweet. they never wanted to hurt anybody!

basically i don't like when either side is painted as wholly innocent and flat because it's not how i read either character, but i also don't like when the story paints it as chara never doing anything wrong to asriel either. it's a complex dynamic that 'seems' simple

Friskriel

What made you ship it?

ironically, very similarly to chasriel, it's the not in a world without you speech. and then... the speech at the end too, where he acknowledges he's projecting and frisk's differences.

I mean... asriel is projecting obviously, and I think both that similarity and Recognizing the dissimilarities are both interesting things going on with that relationship.

i'm also... hm. I think a lot of people play very nice Frisks! but I always imagine Frisk did do things sometime to see just what happened. it's tempting right? so I always imagine a Frisk who could fundamentally understand Asriel, and an Asriel who can do similarly

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

ahhh so one thing I really love is that... a lot of what's shared between Frisk and Asriel is stuff basically no one knows about. there's this bottle of secrets between them. Asriel is aware of what Frisk has done during time loops, and Frisk is aware of Asriel's true identity and what no one else knows about him as a character at the end of the game. there's also... so much potential for time travel shenanigans, and playing around with life and death. basically two kid characters rewinding time endlessly.

i love time loops. i love the idea of characters who wrong others and then get used to being able to just rewind to fix it. i love that flowey and frisk are the only two characters who can really bond over this together... this game both of them have played with each other, specifically

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? hmmm... definitely another case where frisk and asriel are often made too nice for me! i think a lot of separation of asriel from flowey as an identity happens as well, and so you end up with a lot of characterizations where it's like... the character frisk spent the majority of the game with isn't even really... IN the interpretation of the character fanficwise. I like some flowisk labelled fics, but tend to not get the bite I want out of friskriel labelled fics. asriel is... a brat! that's why I love him

basically, comes back to the fact that without injecting a bit of flowey in him, asriel is a character who doesn't have a lot of character meat to me

frisk is someone where i think every interp is valid, but interps of frisk where they don't do everything right first go are more interesting to me

[corisbrainrot]

Garroth and Zenix have the dynamic of a vaguely tired owner with joint problems and their weird teacup chihuahua with the rage of five grown men stored in it

It’s that one meme of the tired person holding onto a leash with the angry person at the end of it

in internet posts it is easy to cut them out of your life. they are hurting you! they aren't listening to you!

they held your hair back. they lent you lipstick. they held your hand at the train station and got you home safe. they rounded on your bully, got loud, said get fucked, spitting-mad in your defense.

they also cut the hair off again. told you that you should really think twice before wearing something like that. took you for granted. took your insecurities and threw them in your face again.

you know logically it should be easy. all the internet advice comments always read it will feel better. like an equation - if a person is rotten, you just remove them. you pull the tooth that's hurting.

but it was never a big flare-up moment. you don't live in a sitcom. they never tried to take your boyfriend or steal from your apartment. they showed up to birthdays and they wrote songs about you and bring you water without you asking. once you found out they carry an emergency inhaler for you, even though you haven't had an asthma attack in years - just in case.

where is the line? people fuck up. sometimes they fuck up badly. sometimes people have raw personalities, like a powerline, and being around them is dangerous. addicting. sometimes they can't help themselves, but you know they're trying. sometimes they are just rough-around-the-edges. sometimes they don't even realize how they sounded when they said that. sometimes it's just - you've both loved each other for so long now, the way this thing hurts goes back to the root.

and that's the fucked up part. you have pushed your fingers against the sweetheart of memory. things these days are electric, tense, harrowing. they didn't used to be. there were a lot of good days in there. sometimes you want to just close your eyes and say can this be over yet? do we still need to be fighting?

doing that would give up any chance you get of getting an apology, but you don't always know that you need an apology, you love them. once they flaked on your birthday party. once they told you to get over it, people are always dying. they also let you crash on their couch for a week after the breakup, handfeeding you when you were so sad you couldn't eat. they are also judgmental about everything, occasionally react to banal statements with an attitude that is weird and fiery. they also love you like a lighthouse sometimes, so strong they cut the storm like lightning.

but the problem is that you might be storm. you might be the thing that needs breaking. what if you are two forces who are desperately, horribly drawn to each other, shaped by the other person's passions, and both good for each other and bad in equal measure.

what if you're both just people, and you're no saint neither.

just cut them off! swallowing the saltwater, you catch yourself in the mirror. you've been shaking more than usual. there's an ache in you that is oblique, loud, impossible to soothe. is this what it looks like? when life is "easier"?

your mouth will always have a hole, is the thing, if you remove the tooth.

Characters dynamic that’s like “ they’re not in a romantic relationship but they definitely love each other with all their heart and fucking soul”

[rissaito]

“don’t cry, my child”

i was thinking about how venti canonically refers to the people of mondstadt as his “children” and how kaeya is included in that… then the brainrot took over and then i thought, what if when kaeya was a little kid and he felt lonely sometimes, venti would decide to shapeshift back into his little wind sprite form to comfort him…
