Thanks for the asks @mischief-and-tea-by-the-sea💕

3. What is the rarest rare pair (that you ship)?

I’d have to go with DigShot (Spartan/Deadshot) for the Arrowverse TV series- just because the number of fics they have on AO3 is truly abysmal and I honestly expected there to be more.

4. Name a popular ship you don’t get the appeal of.

Haha, okay well, this has to be Loki/Mobius (I think this constitutes as a popular ship!) although tbh, I feel that way for a lot of Loki ships like Thorki or Grandmaster/Loki.

10. Is there a ship that makes your skin crawl?

Mmm, nope there really isn’t! Even if it’s for a ship that I don’t fancy, I sometimes consume content (accidentally), but I can’t say that I’ve had such adverse reactions to a particular ship before.

21. Favourite thing you’ve ever created for a ship?

This is HARD- like asking for my favorite fic kinda hard- I love all my creations (fic and art) sooo. But I’ll let you know if I ever create something that blows my own socks away one day XD.

29. What is the ship you ignore 98% of canon for?

I fall in love with ships because I love the characters and interactions (or lack thereof) in canon, so I try to incorporate canon elements in my own fics, and when picking a fic, I love reading canon elements too! That being said, all my ships probably ignore canon/are canon divergent.

[mischief-and-tea-by-the-sea]

valentine ask meme: 8, 9, 11, 22

8. Your oldest ship; the one you’ve shipped for the longest time?

Michael Dunn (Andrew McCarthy) and Danni (Mary Stuart Masterson) from Heaven Help Us (1985). Been shipping them since I was 13, I think.

9. What ship represents the kind of relationship you’d love to have?

Emma Frost/Bucky Barnes. (Consequently Loki/Bucky for similar reasons) Snarky guarded too frequently-heartbroken person falls for the bad boy who also has a good guy heart of gold. Defying expectations, no gaslighting/manipulating, constantly comfy, furniture-breaking wild sex.

11. What is a character you can only imagine in one particular ship?

Erik Lensherr. Even though I really hate Charles Xavier as a general rule, I just can't imagine either of these two assholes in a long-lasting relationship with anyone else but each other.

22. Is there a ship you’ll never admit you have?

Answered this one right over here!

Thanks for the asks!

Valentine Fandom Ask Meme

[solradguy]

I always think it’s funny when people include Jack-O’ in the count as a Valentine sister. Weren’t Ramlethal and Elphelt made separately from Jack O? Isn’t it more like the Valentine sisters and their cousin? I just think it’s hehehe funny

It's Complicated™️. Jack-O' says this to Elphelt in Xrd Revelator:

Elphelt: Who are you? Jack-O': Your other mother. Or I guess I would be… your sister?

Just calling them all sisters is a little... easier to explain... than saying they're all sisters but Jack-O's a sister-mother lol

Ram and El refer to each other as sisters exclusively though, it's just Jack-O' that's the weird exception because she's older and closer in composition to Aria than the other surviving Valentines.

[mjm5655]

★ What fandom do you consider welcoming?

hella sweet munday // accepting ! // @seeasunset

i've had a nice time in the yakuza one so far, i thought i'll had hardly no interactions with majima, but the fandom seems bigger than it is considering how many i had interact with me that have some kind of yakuza verse to go with. fact i'm kind of dragging tasha ( @chosenbythecrystal ) into it as well, she hasn't played the games yet so she's hearing everything of majima from me, i nearly expect she'll pick up a muse from it when she gets into playing the games ( they're on game pass/ps plus guys ... get playing them >> ).

but even before i joined this one, a raid group i was in on ffxiv also talked about how good 0 was to me, & pressured me to play it, & one of my friends from that was like "i bet you'll like majima, better stream it when you reach his chapters". first off though, 0 was not my first time playing yakuza, i played the og on ps2 years ago, & tried to play 3 back on ps3, but since i couldn't find a copy of yakuza 2, i couldn't get into 3 back then, felt like i was missing valuable information. xd but yea, when i started into the yakuza series & got all excited about it among ffxiv friends, the lot of us just waffled on about it, until the point we got reminded that we were in a ffxiv server. xd

002 with Chloe Valentine for the ask meme!

Oooh nice! Here's some Kloey >:D

How I Feel About This Character

She's not my favorite, but I don't necessarily hate her. She has a ton of potential to work with for writing/character studies given that she doesn't have much of a backstory in the show. So, while I do get and agree with most of the criticism towards her, I like that she's a complicated character. (That's not to say she's the most deeply complex character out there, not by any means lol) We need more female characters like that. Especially ones that don't get vitriolic hate for just EXISTING, y'know?

All The People I Ship Romantically With This Character

Chloe x Christine shipper all the way! I love the idea of them together, I just think they'd be really cute. And I also really like the idea of her and Madeline having complicated feelings for each other. Like, they like each other, but Chloe's weirdly jealous of her too or something like that? Basically cursed yuri if you really think about it

My non-romantic OTP For This Character:

I don't ship PinkBerry, but I like her and Brooke fixing the issues in their friendship and actually growing into their own people/becoming better friends as a result. I like to think that once they really get to know each other, they don't rely on each other as much but still stay friends. Idk man, she's hard though I do like the idea of her Jenna and Rich being chaotic together. They're actively disturbing the peace and they look hot doing it

My Unpopular Opinion About This Character

I see her either trying to be a better person and treating the others better, OR joining an MLM. There's no in between. Like she either follows the mean girl to nurse/lawyer/politician pipeline, but just isn't as mean, or gets really chill and tries to push that part as far deep as she can from her.

One Thing I Wish Would Happen/Had Happened With Them In Canon

That we learn more about her! Like her homelife, her interests, her goals, her relationships and how they came to be with the other characters, just more about her other than "the bitchy mean girl." Both that and her actions get discussed or acknowledged. They probably do in canon, and I could just be clueless, but from what I know that just? Doesn't happen? They don't talk about some of the messed-up stuff she did, so that'd be nice to see in either canon or fanfiction.

My OTP

Her and Christine. I could just see the two of them caring about each other and her being someone Chloe feels comfortable with. She feels like she can talk to her, and Christine has the person she's most afraid of judging her, not doing that at all. She even gets her into acting too and it's something they bond over, just so much fun dynamics to explore with them. I love them <3

My Cross-Over Ship

I haven't thought about it all that much, but honestly, her and Harper or Missy from Heartbreak High. I don't know why, I just think they'd be cool together for whatever reason. That or like Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop or Ashley Graham from Resident Evil just because it'd be really funny

A Headcanon Fact

This has probably been said before, but like most of the rest of the cast I see her home life being pretty bad too. Her parents are probably absent or just can't connect with her, so she acts the way she does as a result. I don't think they're bad people, just not around enough to really get to know her. That's not to excuse her behavior though, it's just my weird way of seeing it.

This was fun!! Thanks for asking :D

[merge-conflict]

I am here to interrogate you about Val: 10, 14, 15 & 25 from the edgy/misc ask meme 😘

Ahh, every time you always pick a question that gets me ruminating!😈

Questions here. This one got long again so I've put it under a readmore.

10. What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC?

I'm going to be a little self-indulgent with this one, because the only AUs I know how to write are canon-divergent ones. So there are a few major points in my timeline where I like to think about how things would change considerably if people made different decisions..

The first one I've written smut for is where she never gets past making eyes at Goro and post-ending they're just closely watched coworkers, so she ends up falling back to Johnny. The other big one is where Valentine has a more traditional devil ending where Johnny dies, and she gets contracted to work as an AI while Arasaka waits for a "suitable body". The third one I've been tossing around is what would shake out if Valentine hadn't just watched Yorinobu choke his father to death for like an entire minute, and had actually interrupted him. (Unsurprisingly, I'm a sucker for Arasaka-focused stories.)

She's a really fun vehicle for me to explore the corruption of a sense of self, body horror, as well as the good old courtly drama and espionage that a corporate background allows.

14. How does your OC want to be seen by other characters?

Valentine desperately craves the kind of respect that makes people get nervous. If she could walk into a room and have people straighten up and try to impress her, she could die happy.

15. Does your OC have a faceclaim? If so, who?

Believe it or not, this was the hardest one to answer!! I've been trying to get together references for a commission but for a variety of reasons I'm really bad at picking out faces. However!! I did make some progress today when I happened to see a picture on my dash that is the archetype I've been looking for:

I would say the big difference is that Valentine generally looks a lot more tired, and her natural hair color is a much mousier brown. Now that I have a reference that looks right I'll have to try and make her in the CC in game haha.

25. What is your favorite thing about your OC?

I originally made Valentine to be a corpo character who I thought Johnny might be compelled to "fix" the way most of the people in his life tried to "fix" him. I feel like I've managed to hit the right blend of traits to make her a frustratingly self-aware disaster. Basically she's a total dumbass (affectionate) but she's clever too so she gets away with it a lot of the time.

My one year smoshblr anniversary was a couple of days ago. I just wanna post a little thing! I love our fandom and all the amazing people here on Smoshblr.

When I came, I was really unsure how much I'd participate since my last fandom experience ended up being horrible. But smoshblr has showed me again how much fun and how awesome fandom can be!

When I was a baby blog @japhan2024 was one of the first people to talk to me and be so kind to me and make me feel welcomed!

Additionally, @smoshidiot was one of the first people follow me back and interact with me! And she and @smoshmonker were very sweet to me when I was brand new and invited me into their smoshblr discord!

My friend Zee (who has since deactivated and I miss her 😔) was so supportive of me creatively and inspired me to write my first smosh fic Timeless which was based on her idea!

Then of course I met my wonderful @xxmoonch1ldxx, and if anything I'm so beyond thankful he sent me that message on smoshblr and we became much more than friends, we became family to each other ❤️

@punk-gremlin and I made the rarepair discord that hosts so many fun and talented members! His input on my fics was essential to so many of my works being finished or motivated to work on!

My beloved @wispmotherr who has so many times willingly followed me into fandoms and lets me squeal at her and has the foresight and control to revive so many fun challenges such as the smoshblr valentines exchange and now smoshblr big bang!

@jovenshires , who is a beloved and extremely talented moot that is so good at stoking that sense of community.

Now, my beloved @sheisaquarius-blog who is a joy to be around and @chu-tea who is so fucking funny. I love them dearly!

What I am trying to say is I love Smoshblr, I love Smosh. You all have inspired me to write and create and connect to people in a way I no longer thought was possible.

For every interaction, joke, meme, headcanon, ask, like, creation, text post, thank you. Thank you for engaging. Thank you for being a part of this community and letting me be a part of it too.

Thank you for making this community so amazing! This is to all of you, to everyone! I'm so glad you were here or are here or will be here!

I think catabolic seed by the scary jokes is very slugpelt, maybe about her life in general?

Yeah, I think so! I like the themes in this song about trying to take control of your life by reaching out to other people, but getting denied. That's very Slugpelt.

Also, check out this awesome PMV with Catabolic Seed, which I just have to show off cause I love it so much.

"But is bad luck really such a crime? If you won't be my valentine, could you at least give me a little bit of sympathy?"

"I don't care if I'm losing myself in the garden of earthly delights I could drop dead right where I stand, and I wouldn't mind"

You guys always find such interesting songs. I like this one. It's definitely got good Rainhaze energy.

"even through the pain animals cannot change dance with the skeletons and float away"

"eat and then die all your siblings cast aside too"

"see with new eyes a world ready to despise you"

No, no one's recommended this Hannibal fansong yet. But nice call for Ranger talking to Rainhaze!

"So look in the mirror And tell me, who do you see? Is it still you? Or is it me?"

"Do you feel the hunger Does it howl inside? Does it terrify you? Or do you feel alive?"

That's a good classic ask, back from the beginning of the blog. Never forget Christmas music Daff.

"Underground, boxed and glum Left you there for rot All my fears are overgrown Will someone burn this grove?"

"Welcome home! It's been a while Do you miss your head? With your tattered clothes and your bloody nose?"

I LOVE Vulture Culture! That song is great. I've been wanting to do a version of its animation meme for years now with a fandom I'm in. Maybe someday.

It can be a Rainhaze song and a Defiance song. They're so interlinked now, right?

"We live and die in a vulture culture We crucify anyone we hunger Gemini and a broken brother We live and die, my friend"

"Well, I guess I made my bed Now I gotta lie in it Like a suicidal kiss I got a guilty conscience"

BarrenClan is a cursed land!...

"The curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before"

"If they called on every soul in the land, on the moon Only then would they know a blessing in disguise"

Asphodelpaw's themesong is a MARINA song, so you're already halfway there! I also agree with you about the idea of Asphodel feeling like she has to put on a strong front and pretend like she doesn't have any genuine feelings.

"It's okay to say you've got a weak spot You don't always have to be on top Better to be hated Than loved loved loved for what your not"

"You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable You are not a robot You're lovable, so lovable But you're just troubled"

What a wonderful title for a song. I also love mashing my OCs into any vaguely related song to them.

"I bid the sunshine adieu! In 1872 When the girl that I liked Made me a creature of the night"

"On the shortest night of the year I told him he’d nothing to fear As I bit his throat and crooned as he choked “Together forever my dear”

I'm certain this song has been suggested before, but that's only because any song from The Crane Wives discography could fit into PATFW.

"He taught me that the hand that feeds Deserves to be bitten when it beats He taught me how to break my chains And that money ain't worth a thing"

"Reminding me how little I have But as for time, as for time It's mine, it's mine"

Poor Pinepaw! He really does know too much, often envious of who he used to be.

...yeah, that's going on the playlist.

"Everything here is built on bones

Everything everything everything

And men will do as they’re foretold

Everything everything everything

Visions you don’t want to see

Everything everything everything

Hide your face from prophecy"

If I'm being real - since this song is so desert-themed, it's giving much bigger Saltburn's Clan energy, especially with the line about "mountain cats". (Blasting beams into the 3 people who read this's head to go read SBC at @nanistar)

If you want my opinion, I would say Slugpelt.

"So, if I can wait five more In this shape that I abhor I'll sleep with an open door Knowing you haven't touched a cell on my body"

"Now, my love carries the task Of handling the aftermath Can you smooth the looping lines Of fingerprints before your time?"

Lol I ran out of video embeds

[canisonicscrewyou]

Okay here’s the thing, some of you are asking for the 2019 Aziracrow Cosplay Pics** in my inbox, and upon reflection how could we not. You’re gonna get so much more lore than you could’ve ever asked for or wanted,though. This is a long post, and I almost want to apologize for it. **Pre-HRT baby face pics ahead

For context, Damien and I have known each other since freshmen year of high school, 2012. In fact, we had like no classes together, and whenever one of us mentioned our nerd shit in class the first couple of days, kids kept telling us we HAD to meet each other. We finally met in a history class after they got transferred into it, and exchanged fandom memes back and forth after school on the sidewalk that day until our rides picked us up, and pretty much from then on freshmen year EVERYONE thought and asked if we were two little queer kids dating in our Catholic School.

And of course we weren’t— we just sat in each others’ laps a lot, or grabbed at each other a lot, and were a little inseparable for a while. Neither of us read anything into this. We were also, very importantly, cringey little 14-15 year old SuperWhoLock girlies, only I didn’t watch Supernatural, and they didn’t really watch Doctor Who, and we both thought Sherlock was pretty good. We supplemented our own love for our special little shows for the other. We were so inseparable that Damien’s 1-month-long-freshmen-boyfriend got them a Doctor Who gift for Valentine’s Day. The key to the Eleventh Doctor’s TARDIS. (My favorite, at the time, and also one that I knew they definitely sold at the comic book shop up the block.) They break up with him for giving them chocolates with nuts(allergy), and immediately give my little autistic ass the TARDIS key at lunch. Neither of us read anything into this. This is a common theme.

Damien, at some point, tells me to read a book they love, Good Omens. Due to my brain being the way it is, it takes about 3-4 business years, until college, to read Good Omens at their recommendation.

Damien is one of my best friends throughout high school and college. I also think it’s important to note that they were a jock, and I was a theatre kid. And the only time I convinced them to do something, a haunted house, with the drama club, to share a hobby maybe, they got hit in the head with a lightsaber by a 1st grader and needed stitches immediately after we started.

ANYWAYS.

I get Damien into cosplay a year or so later- 2013? 2014?

But it also takes us years to cosplay together- we would help with each others’ cosplays a lot. By that I mean I built a bunch of their props and they helped by getting the supplies with me and generally just hanging out. It takes us until 2019 to cosplay together.

Good Omens is out on Amazon Prime.

We text each other.

“Do you want to do a couple’s cosplay of this?

Yes, yes of course I do.

And yes, of course you’re Crowley, and of course I’m Aziraphale. And of course I’m Crowley, and of course you’re Aziraphale.”

Pretty much every week that summer, we built our wings from scratch, from wire and masking tape and ethically sourced goose and duck feathers and mall Chinese food. We go out and plan and shop for our gay little outfits. We sit and talk in their car, in my driveway, for ages every time, every night.

Another fun fact: this was the same convention that I painstakingly painted their tits blue for. And also painstakingly helped them wash blue off of in the shower, drunk, later that night. Unrelated, Aziraphale was the first cosplay I felt comfortable in.

Another fun fact: while getting ready for the photo shoot we booked that morning, my family dog scared my cat Almondmilk, and he peed all over my Aziraphale cosplay, and I yelled a bit. Our photographer rescheduled, blessedly, and a few hours later our photographer was asking how we wanted to stage the kiss, since of COURSE there had to be a kiss, but instead we sort of just—

“We’re really good friends— We’ve known each other since high school— We’ve already seen so much of each other this is no big deal— Do you need another shot?”

“Uh-huh,” Our photographer says, knowingly. “I think maybe one more, if we’re comfortable with—“

“Oh yeah, no problem at all-“

“Uh-huh, Yeah,” Our photographer says, knowingly. “Tilt your head up more.”

Not many couples can say they somehow managed to get their first kiss documented and edited in HD.

Damien got nauseous at the last day of the con, and the only thing we had to help were these honey sticks from a tea shop booth. They couldn’t open the little sticks themself, with their fangs in, so I took them and ripped them open with my teeth to give to them. Completely, totally unrelated, though, I think this was the summer I began to realize, perhaps realize once more, that I was so absolutely done for for Damien.

Anyways all of that went SO well, that we were planning every Ineffable Husbands cosplay we could. Somehow, our most logical next choice was a fun and very quick, messy little boudoir photo shoot in my college dorm room, while they were visiting me 3+ hours away from their school.

Down so bad you lovingly pack wigs to go to college with so that you can have your best friend sit in your lap for your little ship.

We did that as Just Good Friends, literally in front of an old friend who took the photos and helped us stage the poses a bit.

We went to sleep that night in that bed. It was big enough to fit 3, maybe even 4 people if you were in a pinch. The bed was not treated like it was that big. (Note, we now sleep on a full sized bed, and it’s suddenly too small.)

And we talked for a while and we went to bed and all I could think about was how much I loved them no matter the sense of the word. And how many nights we sat talking in your car in my driveway for way too long, wondering if I should ask if I could kiss you. (A quick pronoun change, because I know you’re reading this.)

And

Nothing

Came

Of

This

YEARS.

Just good friends. Just good, good friends.

And that’s how Good Omens helped me realize, in retrospect of 2019, how in love I was with my Crowley best friend.

Vakentine Meme Ask 7, 13, 14, 17

7. A non-canon ship that should be canon?

Clint/Natasha (they were almost canon except for Whedon's fuckery), Pepper/Happy (because that would've made more sense than her with Tony since she was such a shitty girlfriend/wife to him), Emma Frost/Steve Rogers, Emma Frost/Loki, Emma Frost/Tony Stark, Emma Frost/Bucky Barnes, Emma Frost/Natasha Romanoff.

Okay, I know I could throw out my other fave ships (Tony/Loki, Tony/Steve, Tony/Bucky, Bucky/Steve, etc), but I really can't say whether they should be canon or not. They're canon to me and anyone else who ships them, and I'm happy with them in fanfic and fanart. But especially those Emma Frost ones should be canon because she deserves to be happy.

And just so people don't think I'm ONLY into Marvel/MCU stuff, there's also Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson. That should absolutely be 100% canon because Eddie should not be dead, dammit.

13. Name a ship that deserved more content.

Phil Coulson/Melinda May. We could've had so much Phillinda content, but they waited to put them together-together until they killed him off the second time.

Mike Weston/Max Hardy from The Following. We got all of Ryan Hardy's love life splattered all over the series, but we definitely needed more Mike/Max.

Edwin and Ana Jarvis in that craptastic Peggy Carter series. Honestly, if they'd spent more time on the Jarvises and whatever Roger Sterling-Howard Stark fuckery was going on, that series would've been REALLY GOOD.

14. Is there a ship you feel gets undeserved hate in fandom?

Emma Frost/Scott Summers gets a gross amount of hate in the comic fandom, and even if I don't specifically ship them anymore, they're still a 'home' ship that I care about and can't stand to see the hate it gets.

17. Is there a type of ship you always go for?

I seem to really like the "two broken individuals find each other and start to heal themselves and each other" ships. The ones who can relate to each other on some level and that helps them get a grasp on those abuses they need to heal from. I also tend to like the "one character is more mentally/emotionally healthy because they've already dealt with all their shit, and they fall in love with the broken individual who thinks that they're entirely unlovable" ships. There are probably others, but those seem to be the ones that really push all the right buttons for me.

Thank you for the asks!

Valentine Fandom Ask Meme.

[getvalentined]

Vincent for the ask meme :-)

VINCENT VALENTINE

🎟️ SEXUALITY HEADCANON: Omnisexual, which is like pansexual but includes other sapient species that may or may not be bipedal. (Back when he was human, he identified as "equal opportunity.")

⚧️ GENDER HEADCANON: Vincent actually has a very complex relationship with gender. He never questioned whether or not he was a man back when he was human, but since he's not anymore he's not really sure where on the spectrum he falls in anything—he'd like to still be a man, but he doesn't even consider himself a person, so he's not sure it applies to him anymore. His explanation of it is "'male' in the same way one refers to a dog." It's...not a fun conversational topic.

💕 A SHIP: VinVeld is my OTP, but I also gun really hard for Strifentine and Valenstrifesodos. Vincent is not my fandom bicycle, but he has a lot of love left in him.

🖇️ A BROTP: Vincent+Yuffie! He's essentially her protective older brother for many years, and eventually that segues into her essentially being his supportive older sister. Then she dies of old age. Sorry.

🚫 A NOTP: Val*nwind. Not because I don't think it could work (my Vincent has a type and Cid could fit into it quite well) but because 1. People treat it as canon when Cid is literally married to Shera, and 2. I don't think Vincent would be remotely interested in reprising his role of 'homewrecker' in another already-tumultuous and undeniably-abusive relationship between two Shinra scientists. Which Cid and Shera are. In case people forgot that.

💭 A RANDOM HEADCANON: I have...so many. This is difficult. Uhh. Vincent is actually a doctor? He comes from a long line of academic prodigies and had a doctorate at 22, at which point he left academia to join the Turks, much to the chagrin of literally everyone except himself. He never really used his education at the time, but postcanon he works with the WRO as Director of Ethics in Science and Medicine, so he does eventually put it to use explaining to people why they need to stop fucking around in specific scientific ways.

🗣️GENERAL OPINION: Vincent Valentine is my favorite character in the history of fiction. I love him more than every other character I have ever loved, combined. He's been my favorite since my first playthrough of the OG, when I was a literal child, and I just never let go. If there is one character that deserves the title of "blorbo" for me, it's him.

(For the character ask game.)

A, K, and N for the ask meme!

NO FAIRSIES YOU ACTUALLY KNOW ME SO I CAN'T PRETEND TO BE ALL COOL IN FRONT OF YOU!!! 😭

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

FF7 really has me by the balls right now, so my current thing is pretty much anyone hot plus anyone else hot who wanders through my field of vision at a given moment

in general i adore aerith x tifa, but also zack x aerith 4ev, because they are truly the sweetest and dearest couple of all time, and i really like tseng x aerith (i don't care shut up) because the ambiguously dangerous protector x uncooperative protectee dynamic is hot af

also vincent valentine with anyone who will be nice to him. i just need my sad edgy vampire grandpa to be loved

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

i think the best character development arc in recent literature is Mo Ran, from Erha He Ta De Bai Mao Shizun (anglicized as The Husky and His White Cat Shizun) by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou. that web novel (now book series) fucking destroyed my whole shit

in the fandom of my current fixation, it's sephiroth, because he's actually been given the most development of any character in the series. cloud is a close second but it's not so much development as suspended personality animation plus trauma-brained dissociation and stolen memories. i really like him as a character for all of that.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

more creative/crack ships. people need to have more fun and not take playing pretendsies with our little dolls so seriously

MORE TRANS CHARACTERS (not genderbent that is not what trans is)

MORE BISEXUAL CHARACTERS. MORE, I SAY! HANG THOSE WHO TALK OF LESS!

side note: i would love to see less fighting over which of the two lazy and awfully written canonical Cloud ships in FF7 is better. they're both dumb so who cares. just play with your dolls and stop trying to take your sister's

💙💙THANK YOU ALSO TELL NO ONE HOW UNCOOL I AM 💙💙

A-Z Ask Meme | Open

@dezimaton asked: A-Z ask meme: O(adapted) because I'd like to hand you the song: [Gone Angels, Library of Ruina], U, X please!

Thank you! Also, I love that song you suggested, it's got an interesting vibe!

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of? This may be too obvious, but just listening to that song and reading over the lyrics, my vibe was just...Sephiroth, and then specifically Sephesis. Like, it felt like a flavor of Sephesis during their separation, during the defection--it's like they're in the middle of a dance, dealing with the loss, the betrayal, the separation, the confusion, the devastation of information, and then just the reality of the dark lies crashing down on them. It's as if they want to go back, yet they know they're stumbling forward. They want to hold close, yet they want to just toss each other away. Just, their dance.

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites. Not sure if this was three period, one from each fandom OR three each, three from one fandom each, so I'm going with the first lol. With FF7, it's always been Vincent Valentine. It started superficially because of just, aesthetics and primarily because his english VA in AC being a VA I was following somewhat at the time. But the love for him has just grown heavier and heavier through the years. Dirge was the first FF game I ever got, and ever beat, too. And it's the one I've replayed the most. I just adore his character, in ways that it'd take me too long to list out lol. Best way to summarize is just...his vibe from the inside in, the tragedy, the spooky intelligent badass vibes, his heart, his pain, his dark humor, just, all of it. Uuummm...trying to decide other fandoms to choose, though. I'll be honest, the top two other fandoms that have circled the back of my mind while my focus has been on FF7, feel free to judge, have been Marvel and BNHA/MHA. Though, Marvel I'm fairly disconnected from most new media and really only care for my choice of its classic MCU days. But, with Marvel, Loki was my top favorite. I was obsessed, he was my first character muse I RP'd as, and my time writing as him and investing in the content made of him was very impactful (I don't really follow anything made from Ragnarok on, that's just me, no judgment to those that do enjoy). But his story is fucked up, too, and though it may go over some peoples heads, he did try, he was something more than just a petty, mischievous jerk (he really wasn't petty or jealous to the degree people make him out to be, he was the more balanced 'Odinson' before he went too far doing something that NEEDED to be done, and it led to a devastating truth). I could go on way too long about Loki, so, I'll just leave it there XD With MHA, it's Bakugo. Again, feel free to judge. I'm aware he is an asshole and was very much a bully and needs to be held accountable for that, and I will never excuse his roof-dive comment towards Deku. But I'm of the mind that, for one he's a teenager than can learn and has learned and is still learning from his faults. For two, he can be an ass but that is technically how he's learned to communicate and if people get to know them they realize it's just him being loud and rough to express his critiques, advice, compliments, etc. But most of all, it's his character complexity and growth. I adore him, and I'm not going to apologize for that.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom. Soulmate trope, I suppose! I'm not super versed enough to have a list to pick from, but I feel like this comes through a lot, and it's not always just romantic, though that can be appealing! Just the idea that there is someone out there that matches a character, whether it's to counter them, or to meet their energy. It could be enemies to allies, it could be best friends, it could be lovers, it could be a mix! But the idea of them being tied to one another, for better or worse, it just gets me!!
