#otp: eternal devotion

[the-woman-upstairs]

The thing is, I believe Bill and Ford DID have a fairytale romance. It’s just that the fairytale in question was Bluebeard.

[stormsofasorceress]

doing a self indulgent sim game of drusilla and gale -- istg she asked him on a date, he arrived on the lot, and then vanished into thin air by using magic. i cant tell u how real this this

[sinnbaddie]

for the ask game, gai?

favorite thing about them

how unwaveringly confident and motivated he is to be better for himself and others. It makes me want to be a better person than who i am and continue to grow

His love for people. He’s so passionate and fully devoted to those he holds close

Least favorite thing about them

His loyalty to the village

I know why he does it but his favoritism does get frustrating, especially when the fandom misinterprets it

Favorite line

“Do you want to spend the springtime of your youth with me?” / “you are my eternal rival… my man of destiny!” - young Gai tells Kakashi

“You have the power to shape your own destiny.” - small snippet of his speech to Lee

brOTP

team choza and Yamato. Gai being a little brother to Genma and Ebisu makes so much sense to his character. His relationship with Yamato is so funny to me and I think he’s a great person for Yamato to look to as a friend / brother figure

OTP

Kakagai (clearly)

nOTP

BakiGai mostly but I’m not a big fan of ObiGai either

Random headcanon

Gai is very emotionally intelligent. He’s a person who feels his emotions and shows it outwardly, however he’s not a person to disclose his opinions and thoughts if he’s upset. Yes he’ll cry and tell you he’s upset but you won’t get an in depth response about it

Would be a huge fan of Depeche Mode and any 80s synth music

Really good at giving massages. Like really good

Unpopular opinion

Despite his favoritism, I think he is the best Konoha 11 sensei and is the most “dad like” mentor to his students than the rest

He’s much smarter than people believe and uses that underestimation to his advantage

Song I associate with them

My way by Frank Sinatra

Favorite picture(s) of them

I have so many favorites but here’s 6

Dear Fia Elden Ring for the character meme?

It's time for more fun with the character meme!

How I feel about this character

Fia, O Fia.

She's Tarnished like us, who-knows-how old and relegated to the back room of the Roundtable (or possibly she chose it herself?) All the symbols around her at the start are for comfort and vanity - the fireplace, the bed she sits on, the mirror. She is far from 'the nice lady who gives me hugs,' even if I did lean on her blessings in some early boss fights.

Fia, the Deathbed Companion, the intro proclaims - but we don't learn right away what that means.

Fia, who can bring life from death. Fia whose intimate connection with death sets her at odds with her former allies/lovers, and with the Golden Order, too. Fia, whose pride does not permit her to stay in that back room, but sends her through Hell to find Godwyn - and she succeeds.

Her complications make her fascinating and challenging. She refuses to abide with someone hunting her charges; she deals death, real death, with precision.

(How she manages to kill a Tarnished before the restoration of Destined Death is left unanswered. Perhaps her faith granted her that.)

I'm already a big fan of the "sacred prostitute" trope, and to have everything else she does added in? Chef kiss. I'm so glad they wrote her this way.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Er... I'm not sure Fia leans that way.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

My Tarnished - who said that.

Also Rogier. They certainly went to bed; he's a devoted enough ally for her to summon his soul phantom even after his death. If those two aren't conniving and snickering together while the Tarnished is out, I'm shocked.

My unpopular opinion about this character

She's the only one of the Roundtable crew who gets how important Death is. Despite her ghastly trappings, she's right. The Lands Between are trapped in a horrible half-life, and the only thing that can fix it is the restoration of Death.

(Why yes, I did choose Duskborn, why do you ask.)

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

D the Second shouldn't get to kill her unless I refuse to interfere.

Thank goodness writing exists, where I can set her up as the custodian of the Nameless Eternal City.

[general-alder]

if there is one thing touch starved yearning for love gays can do then it's looking at ten seconds of interaction between the otp that holds their heart and interpret eternal devotion, love and a hundred unspoken words into it

[winepresswrath]

I do gotta say tho, even tho I’m mad at aziraphale because he’s being a terrible boyfriend like what you said about the “I forgive you like” because WHAT. But also I really like the way the show really demonstrates the underlying cruelty of heaven and it’s angels. Really shows the hypocrisy of a group of beings who are supposed to do good, especially aziraphale who really buys into the heaven propaganda, who hurts people, particularly the person who means the most to him. Because like you said he fully just takes advantage of that devotion Crowley has for him. Insane, this shwo makes me INSANE

I missed this anon and yeah! The angels were one of my favourite parts of the season, and I think the strongest element aside from Neil Gaiman deciding he's just a simple man who wants to put his otp in situations. They are deeply awful and I kind of love them. They are the exact kind of moralizing hypocrites who are callous and cruel precisely because they think being on team good means everything they do is justified and it's actually impossible for them to be in the wrong (they're angels! is it even possible for them to do the wrong thing?).

but!! To me, they also seem like they're basically kids? Obviously they're not literally children, but there is this very consistent reoccurring joke about how childish/sheltered/immature they are. Muriel is the most obvious example, but the archangels come off like bratty twelve year olds to her sweet little kid.

Gabriel is basically teenager in love flipping off his family as he runs away with his backstreet guy. Uriel is constantly picking at Michael, Michael is playing at being in charge like it's a game, and it's ridiculously easy for both Aziraphale and Crowely to trick them obvious half assed lies. They're not allowed to ask questions! The Metatron treats them like badly behaved kids out past their curfew. At any point an old man with a beard may pop up to scold them and send them home, and they're all scared of doing something wrong by his standards and getting in trouble with this guy who is pointedly not God but who lines up exactly with the pop-culture idea of god the father, and who offers Aziraphale, among other things, a respite from the hard work of figuring out what the right thing to do is for himself. It's fine! You don't have to question the belief system you were born into or make a painful break with everything you've ever known! Aziraphale has had six thousand years on earth to grow up, but the other angels have been sitting in a sterile white box playing "i'm not touching you" games with each other and filing paperwork.

And I think that's extra interesting because this season also really emphasizes:

Heaven has Institutional Problems

Aziraphale isn't the only angel who's unhappy in heaven. Gabriel and Muriel were both completely miserable. They just didn't understand that they were unhappy because they'd never experienced anything else.

Angels who aren't Aziraphale can change and grow! There's very explicitly Gabriel being changed by love and Muriel growing up a bit on earth, and from a more fan-theory angle there's also Jimbriel, who I think is probably basically Gabriel minus the war and six thousand years of playing referee for Michael and Uriel while unleashing an assortment of plague and calamities on earth because that's God's will! Buck up champ.

We also get Gabriel and Beezelebub talking about how their underlings basically live for Armageddon, "if you can call that living." This is so bleak. They've all been on a six thousand year time out just dreaming of the day they get to beat the shit out of each other until they feel better, but it won't work because eternity is just more of the box.

Anyway I think it's going in a distinctly eden adjacent direction. Aziraphale is going to tempt those angels with knowledge and the capacity for change. I have veered so far from your ask anon i'm sorry you're right heaven really went all out on sucking this season & while Crowley and Aziraphale are both fucking it up Crowley refrains from being spectacularly cruel to Aziraphale about it and Aziraphale should learn to return the favour. I forgive you!! I forGIVE you. I forgive YOU. "you can be an angel again" is actually a worse thing to say than "you're a demon. i don't even like you." when he finally picks crowley over heaven i'm going to lose my mind.

[rustyvanburace]

flynn for the ask game!! or if he's already been sent, then isabeau!!

favorite thing about them: While at first I found it a little jarring, going from a completely silent protagonist to one speaking, I'm really endeared to Flynn's gentleness and soft-spokenness. And actually it suits him really well, having once been a silent protagonist. Nor is it even out of left field -- NPCs in IV comment that Flynn is very reserved and quiet. So I'm really glad that IVA kept that even while giving (the real) Flynn a couple speaking lines. I also really, really like that he (the real one) stays humble and reserved in IVA despite his celebrity status. When I first played IVA, I had only done IV's chaos route, so I found everyone praising him to be really jarring. But now having done the neutral route, I can see why and it makes me appreciate Flynn's modesty all the more. Not to mention, it makes the distinction between him and Shesha Flynn's radical "personality shift" all the more apparent. That's good!!

least favorite thing about them: Having said all that… This is more an issue with IVA's writing and pacing, but I do wish that (the real) Flynn got more moments to express himself and really show his own character. Flynn suffers from the same problem that Toki does -- we don't get to see their actual character for the majority of the game and their potential and own development suffers for it. I'm very happy with Flynn's personality in IVA, but the rest of him only serves as a foil for the plot and especially in handing Nanashi the torch.

favorite line: My favorite line WOULD be his comment on Issachar's fishing hook in the bonds route, had I not permanently missed the fishing hook in my first playthrough 😭

However, I do really like his surprised, saddened reaction when he sees Jonathan's and Walter's spirits in YHVH's Universe. I was actually surprised that he even reacts to them in the massacre route even after becoming a semi-mindless puppet, especially when…he no longer has any attachment to the fishing hook in that route aaaauuughhhhh 😭😭

brOTP: EASILY Flynn and Issachar being the bros for life and eternity!!! And he's totes bros with the whole Samurai cast, for sure for sure!

OTP: I like a lot of Flynn ships (minus my NOtp), but Flynn x Isabeau are truly best for each other. I love that Isabeau cares for and is devoted to Flynn, but without sacrificing her own convictions. I do wish though that Flynn showed some attraction to her (again, an issue with IVA's writing).

nOTP: Yeah uh, I really hate seeing Flynn x Nanashi and I hate how popular it is in the Japanese fandom. Big reason why I don't engage a lot with the IVA fandom cause I'm just so tired of seeing that.

random headcanon: I too also lowkey fancy the headcanon of Flynn being a transwoman, based on dialogue demons can give in IV~ We support trans headcanons in this house!

unpopular opinion: Like aside from how certain sides of the fandom treats him with respect to other characters, and what I've already voiced about his writing in IVA, I don't really have an unpopular opinion on Flynn? Kinda hard to when he's mainly a player avatar. He's good that way.

song i associate with them: I'm so sorry, I'm just not good with song association questions. 🥹 I listen to a lot of music but if you asked me to pick one, I'll pull a blank lol.

favorite picture of them: Def the artwork Doi did for the Sound & Design extra! It's so so good to see BOTH Flynn and Isabeau dressed in different clothes! :) Plus, I actually really like that armor Flynn has so it's SO good to see official art of it.

Thank you for the ask!

[nathaniacolver]

since i'm saying other things for the record i feel an obligation to let everyone know my first ever ship (we called them OTPs back then):

✨ romione ✨

dig deep enough into my archive and you can tell where my devotion lay

(and the reason so many baby queer girls loved this ship is bc it empowers women!!!! it always has, lmk if you ever want an essay on that lol)

this all being said - i wish jk rowling some complete isolation, eternal silence, & forced removal from all social media platforms 💕

for the fic writers asks: 7, 11, 17

for the love your fandom asks: 4, 5, 10, 16

Thank you bby, love you! 🫶🏻

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?

I'd say the worldbuilding in my most recent fic For All Eternity. It's a xianxia and xianxias aren't exactly that easy to write, in my opinion, so I'm happy with what I was able to do with this fic

11. Are you partial to a certain character/pairing or are you more equal-opportunity? If you are partial to any character/pairing, why do you think that is?

I'm more partial towards certain pairings, but I never stop people from shipping what they want to ship. I'm not really a crack-shipper nor do I see the appeal of some ships that a lot of people like and I think it all just comes down to preference and what you like in a ship

17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?

Hmm...I mean, you take a look at my Killer and Healer fics and you'll see that they're pretty much all aus that I'd want to read but I think maybe...a Pacific Rim au? I haven't done that yet for any of my fandoms and I think it'd be good. But sci-fi is something that I'm not...really great at so it would definitely be on the back burner for a long time before I ever got around to it.

question for fic writers | send me asks

4. say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

While I don't ship Yohan/K, I get why people do because like...the devotion, the pining, the one-sided unrequited love...I get it

5. something you see in fics a lot and love

Hm...when I'm reading a fic that's not mine, I love seeing how passionate authors are about their aus and how in-depth they go for them. Cuz like, I do that and I love seeing authors just got fucking ham

10. a blog (mutual or one you follow) that has made your fandom experience brighter

Oh, there are so many...but I guess one that I have to give a shout out to is @kpopfantasywriter because jiejie really is the person that I could go to and bounce ideas off of and vice versa and she's just made writing and fandom and headcanoning just...fun. But there are so many people who have made my fandom experience brighter and better and I just can't thank y'all enough

16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate

I guess for Killer and Healer is that Sun Yongren, while mainly being comic relief, is also really smart. He's a part of Jiang Yuelou's duo, him and Song Rong. They are his closest and only subordinates. And Jiang Yuelou doesn't work with stupid, so the fact that he's a part of Jiang Yuelou's team means that he's not stupid. (Though you can't tell that he's smart cuz sometimes he just says really dumb shit and next to Song Rong, he looks dumb so...but still! He's smart! Just does not have a good brain to mouth filter)

✨ love your fandom asks ✨ | send me asks

[rosesandalfazemas]

Do you have any BraUru headcanons 👀?

Oh yes my dear, my second LH OTP~

I've written about them lots of fics. They're quite complex, but Y consider them "healthy" relationship in contrast with other ships. If they are ok with the past, they're the best partners to each other. I've got certain basic headcanons for them.

Devotion. Sebas is colder than Luciano, who is a moutain of hugs and kissies for him, and they seem to have different levels of demonstration of love, but they're quite loyal and confident of each other. After all, a love which prevailed from resilience, sometimes is stronger than others.

Strong couple. They've got their differences and very hard moments, of course, but in the routine and living togheter, they are an amazing complement of each other. Sebas gives an energy to the house that Lulu has not, and viceversa. When hard times arrive, they put themselves as a well-armed unit to help others without hesitation. And, in front of mortals, they look like a perfect pair. I've got a roleplay for years in which they adopted mortal children, and rose them up perfectly.

Cisplatina/Banda Oriental topic. Very harsh. It's the conversation it merges when they have a fight. Sebas intends to hurt Luciano with that part of his history and it's inevitable in a point. Luciano was an Empire and he knows the weight of that title in Latinamerica. Especifically what it meant to Uruguay, disputed between Argentina and Brazil like a toy for decades.

Related to this, Portugal's role could be a difficult topic too. Sebas was formely made by Antonio, but Portugal (through Brazil) had him too, and did things with him and to him. I consider Gabriel feels him like the son who was taken away, so Uruguay feels him like a kind of step-father from whom inherited his moods. He didn't feel comfortable with Antonio, despite of Argentina and Paraguay. Portugal was crueler, but was more a father than Spain who was eternally in absense. So he enjoys, not likes, that Portugal visit Brazil. Their relationship is acid, tho.

[snowflake-of-destruction]

sk8 + anyone from the dk trio for the character ask game ?

Any of the dk3? ALL THE DK3!

1: sexuality headcanon

Ainosuke– Panromatic/Homosexual

Kojiro–Panromantic on a surface level where he romanticizes people and falls quickly but also everything fizzles quickly, so perhaps actually closer to demiromantic if he examines himself and his eternal devotion to one or two people more closely/Pansexual

Kaoru–Demiromantic/Homosexual

2: otp

Lovematchablossom?

But besides that

Ainsouke–loveblossom

Kojiro–matchablossom

Kaoru–loveblossom over matchablossom, sorry

OTP that doesn't involve either of the other two (whyyy?)

Ainosuke–Eden

Kojiro–Nothing really unless you count the cracky crossover ship of Kojiro/Kazuki Kurusu that lives in my brain

Kaoru–Mayhaps a small soft spot for Kaoru/Oka in my head

3: brotp

Stomps my feet in Lovematchablossom, but if we do not involve the other two

Ainosuke–Oka. Tadashi depending on my mood

Kojiro–Reki

Kaoru–Kaoru would count Carla, so I will too

4: notp

Tadaai. I love you Tadaai shippers, and I'll smooch you on the forehead and probably even write more Tadaai into things one day both for you and because I acknowledge the *everything* in canon but NOTP TADAAI

I can't think of notps for the other two

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Ainosuke–I know I've shared this a hundred times, but I'll share it a hundred more: the mask he wears as Adam was a gift Kojiro sent him while he was in Italy

Kojiro–Former smoker. The only secret he kept (poorly) from Kaoru

Kaoru–Even though the more popular fanon, and one I've incorporated at times, is Kaoru with distant parents who are always gone, I really believe he had doting parents who were interested in everything he did while giving him "room to grow" and even championing his rebellions. His piercings when he was a teen? Parents supported him and went to bat for him when the school complained. That type of thing. Carla? If they couldn't help with the prototype, then they listened to all his ideas. His "clinginess" comes from having this constant influx of attention and support his whole young life and so not knowing what to do in moments he is alone now.

6: favorite line from this character

I'll come back to this later (unless I forget) because I know for Adam I want to do a whole monologue and I want to make sure I get it right. Same with Kaoru. I'm just not at home right now and so typing this in notes when I can and not looking things up. Kojiro I'll probably just go with "Right, Kaoru?" even though it's not so impressive out of context.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Ainosuke–I too bounce between obvious former theater kid dramatic and reserved

Kojiro--All-loving chef

Kaoru–Desire for constant affection but nit wanting to ask for it and doubting it when it is given

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Ainosuke-I love Adam, love him, and I wouldn't change a thing…but a good few of his over the top moments, especially in the first race against Langa

Kojiro–Again criticizing the things I love most, but how obviously he pines, mostly for Kaoru, but also for Ainosuke as well as Kaoru. Watch episode 4 I think it was where he first talks about Adam. Obvious sad pining there too.

Kaoru–How easily he loses it to even a little goading

This question is always a bit difficult as I don't have a strong "secondhand embarrassment" reaction with fictional people, especially anime ones because they are supposed to be dramatized.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

All are problematic in their own way

[darthmirel]

World Building: Reon Kallig

B A S I C S • Full name: Reon Kallig • Assigned gender: Male • Sexuality: Demisexual • Pronouns: He / Him

O T H E R S • Family: Mother(deceased) & biological father(unknown) & foster father(deceased) & twin sister(Glacier). Born as illegitimate infants whose mother died in childbirth, Reon and Glacier were viewed as cursed children and despised by other members of the tribe, including their foster father. • Birthplace: Rattatak

• Job: Dark Council member,  head of the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge / Advisor of the Eternal Throne • Phobias: Separated from ones he deeply loves • Guilty pleasures: Makes Glacier worried for him / teases Shea Lysander(Emperor’s Wrath) / bullies Shea with Glacier

M O R A L S • Morality alignment?: Neutral Good. Reon respects the law but has no problem breaking it if he deems it necessary to do good. • Sins: lust/greed/gluttony/sloth/pride/envy/wrath: Reon is easily jealous in strange ways. He has no objection to Glacier’s casual cruise all the time but will become depressed and distraught soon if Glacier develops some serious long-term relationship with others. He would also easily sulk and feel frustrated when Shea gets intimate with others. (Having thought about taking the pride too, but Reon is a person with low self-esteem, actually) • Virtues: chastity/charity/diligence/humility/kindness/patience/justice: All these are on the premise that Glacier’s wellbeing will not be hurt. If there’s any danger to Glacier, he can discard these traits without remorse, which makes him a hypocrite in some people’s eyes.

T H I S - O R - T H A T • Introverted/extrovert. He’s always easygoing and amiable in front of other people, but he prefers to stay alone or with close ones. • Organized/disorganized. Reon is meticulous in his daily life and responsible for taking care of Glacier, who has a terrible routine. • Close-minded/open-minded. Reon likes to hear from others. • Calm/anxious. Reon is rational and composed most of the time. • Disagreeable/agreeable. Reon deems striving for unity highly valued and tries to avoid conflicts when dealing with other people. • Cautious/reckless. Reon likes to plan ahead and tread lightly due to his early training as an assassin. • Patient/impatient. • Outspoken/reserved. Reon gets used to suppressing his feelings because of his early life as a slave and has difficulty in express his own emotions. • Leader/follower. He likes to take the lead and acts as a role model of reason and integrity, but he could also perform the follower role well. He loves to provide assistance to Shea personally. • Empathetic/unempathetic. Reon’s heart often softens for the unfortunate people. • Optimistic/pessimistic. Reon always keeps a vigilant eye for anything that may bring about others’ demise. • Traditional/modern.  • Hard-working/lazy. He works non-stop for others’ well-being.

R E L A T I O N S H I P S • otp: Glacier Kallig or Shea Lysander(He hates to be forced to choose between them: Without Shea, he would be heartbroken; without Glacier, he won’t have any will to live) • ot3: Glacier Kallig & Shea Lysander • brotp: Seth Nhiss • notp: Vitiate (Reon is disgusted with Vitiate for he played with others’ free will. He also envies Vitiate for Shea’s devotion to him.)

if you're still doing the character meme, Feng Xin?

How I feel about this character

ive said this before for this meme but im really running out of ways to say "i like him". i like him!!!! really good character!!!!! im still thinking about yen liveblogging book 2 yesterday and quoting him saying "Kick me out, for all I care. I don’t give a shit about being a heavenly official! If it wasn’t for Your Highness’ appointment, I really don’t care for it. But even if you boot me back to the mortal realm and I become human again, I will still be loyal to you, Your Highness." kick me out for all i care. i will still be loyal to you. and xl does and fx is. feng xin is loyal forever and he's a bodyguard who knows instinctively that his job is to get hurt so xie lian won't be (the way that, in the donghua, "nan feng" is always trying to put himself between xie lian and danger--a bit in front and a bit to the side--) and he fails and he just wants to protect and care for xie lian and the royal family and jian lan and cuocuo and he can't successfully do this for a single one of them and they all leave him for his own good. but he's still trying, he's still loyal, he doesn't want to leave them even though he'll obey them if they ask him to go. actually im just going to link this ask game response i did abt him for a different ask game

All the people I ship romantically with this character

honestly in canon i don't have strong romantic ships for him--jian lan is canon but not compelling, the more compelling ships are notably less canon and i'm less passionate abt queer readings there--but in the realm of fandom i do very much enjoy feng xin/xie lian bc of the aforementioned Eternal Devotion To His Master, and in general bc of the thing where xie lian is fx's entire Purpose in life (which is nonzero hua cheng parallells!). and there's also, hm, the thing where fx+mq are both Orbiting xie lian and xie lian is not really orbiting them back? which, as someone who's very into ships that are imbalanced/unrequited like that: very crunchy! also feng xin/mu qing but with the same caveats as i gave on my mu qing ask response, which is to say, i like approximately none of the feng xin/mu qing that actually exists, but if it were done completely differently it does in fact have potential. the thing is, it has to be about xie lian. very few fics know this

My non-romantic OTP for this character

also feng xin & xie lian and feng xin & mu qing! and the three of them together! xianle trio: wildly compelling to me whether it's platonic or not. i think i probably lean platonic on these even in the realm of fanfic but i will enjoy & read it and be like Yes This Is My Feng Xin OTP whether it is gen or slash.

My unpopular opinion about this character

man i have no idea what's popular or not. or like i know one (1) unpopular opinion i have (fanon fengqing is BORING) but i already used that opinion on the mu qing ask game response.... it'd be a based unpopular opinion of me to have to care about jian lan & his relationship w her but in fact i mostly don't. kind of an L tbh

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

once again with the "tgcf is really well-written in a way that satisfies both my aesthetic and my selfish desires for many characters. i am happy with canon here tbh". there are definitely tgcf characters i wish things had happened differently for dgmw but there are also a decent fraction where im like "yeah canon was perfect. no notes"

(ask game, give me a character)
