How about Whit for the ask game?
whit!!! putting this under a cut since i tend to ramble
favorite thing about him: this guy has SOMETHING wrong with him and it’s driving me crazy. i don’t think he’s secretly evil or anything, but he’ll casually joke about the most messed up stuff and i. i need to put him under a microscope.
least favorite thing about him: currently, he hasn’t done much on his own and i want that to change. most of his screen time has been spent interacting with charles, and even though i love charwhit, i want him to get to know him on his own
favorite line: “maybe we can keep this horror collection updated every time one of us kicks the bucket, and put min's execution in here-“ this is exactly what i’m talking about. what the fuck whit (/aff)
brOTP: him and arei…i miss them
OTP: charwhit for sure they’re so silly
nOTP: i don’t think i have any?
random headcanon: he has tons of different pairs of socks with cute patterns on them, the ducks are just the beginning
unpopular opinion: no shade to anyone who likes the idea, but i personally can’t stand the yandere!whit speculation. It was funny as a joke for a little bit, but as i already said i want him to stand as his own character without charles and i think making him a yandere for charles (or anyone else but most likely charles) does the opposite of that
song i associate with him: …would i get in trouble if i said good grief by bastille? putting the character playlist to the side entirely, i listen to bastille more than i should and the lyrics to good grief remind me so much of whit and his particular brand of avoidance. if i can’t choose good grief, my second choice would be snakes by bastille, which is on the same album oops. the lyrics aren’t a perfect fit, but the chorus and main themes really give me whit vibes

Lady Maria!
favorite thing about them : her nuance and how she challenged my writing and perception. also, i find myself humming her first phase a lot.
least favorite thing about them : her third phase hitboxes are ARHGGHGH
favorite line : "What's wrong, my hunter? Don't you hear the hunt calling?... Or do you wish to tease something more from the depths of this nightmare? Even if it means my murder..." yeah it's a cut one, but the two we do have in-game are quoted so often, iconic as they are...
brOTP : rn it's Rom :} i need to get thinking about Adeline and the old hunters as well though.
OTP : Gehrman 🤟😔 I never had a problem with it, and I predicted I'd end up shipping it out of spite but I'm also getting more and more genuine love for it. peace and love in yharnam(??)
nOTP : sigh... i'd hate to perpetuate the general belief you can't like both, but i have ten years of fandoms in my resume and there are situations i will simply block out. i know you shouldn't let fandom experiences affect your approach to the source material but i was uninterested in her and adeline anyway, and want to keep the right to remain so as long as i'm not an ass about it sdfghjklm maybe someday i'll see it in a new light.
random headcanon : she's adept at falconry ! her main companion being a gyrfalcon.
unpopular opinion : ok hear me out, what if she liked BOTH pants and skirts and she was like those girls who basically shapeshift into the opposite presentation when they don't fit someone's preferences and oh my gods this is pointless. i'm still getting used to her character please give me time
song i associate with them : this (and the whole album) is more a gehrmaria song than one for her alone, but it's all i have for now. spoilers for a wip of mine...............
youtube
favorite picture of them : poggers

sebastian and blaine for the character asks <3
ahhh hi bestie im so excited to yap about these two <333
sebastian smythe
how I feel about this character
Sebastian is the love of my life <3 I'm obsessed with writing this character and reading this character and consuming any and all content related to this character.
I have sooooo many head canons about him, and the way I feel about him/his backstory/his personality has evolved a ton over the years, even since I've been writing about him. He has that snark and edge that I love to a character with a clearly very interesting past that we have complete creative liberties to explore. it's so fun and I love him !
all the people I ship romantically with this character
BLAINE! seblaine is of course my otp, and no ship will ever come close to them for me in terms of the extreme brain rot obsession I have because of them - I love that they sort of balance each other out and have this undeniable chemistry that's pretty monumental for both of them and leaves a lot of room for us to explore
I don't think anything will ever come close to them for me, and I fully cannot bring myself to get behind kurtbastian no matter how much I love enemies to lovers as a trope (though when my mutuals write kurtbastian I still try to read it lol)
I did enjoy writing jeff x sebastian in how bright we burn (totally snuck up on me on accident - he needed to be with one of the other warblers for plot reasons and I picked Jeff because they're always in shots together in canon) but that's not something I think I'd ever be super into on like,, a bigger scale - I love it as a platonic ship though
my non-romantic otp for this character
honestly, the warblers as a whole - I really like the idea of Sebastian not really fitting in anywhere/never feeling at home anywhere before dalton and being very reluctant to get close with them at first which resulted in him coming on a little strong/trying to take control rather than trying to develop meaningful friendships, but then by the end he's found he really cares about them and wants them to succeed and finally feels like he's found a home and core group of friends
OH and i ADORE his friendship with cooper in the I'll be there for you series - their dynamic together is fantastic and I think probably the best written friendship for Sebastian that I've ever read
my unpopular opinion about this character
I'm not sure if this is unpopular or not, but I do really like that he's an imperfect person who clearly has a lot of growing up to do. He acts like an asshole and he is one kind of a lot of the time, but even the things he does maliciously aren't meant to be that harmful, and there's clearly a complicated person beneath the surface. I love slutty Sebastian and snarky Sebastian and bullying/blackmail/assault Sebastian so so much
I also don't like the idea of him being "soft" or immediately comfortable in a relationship with blaine just because he's the person he's meant to be with - a lot of my head canons about him revolve around him having a kind of unhealthy relationship with love/relationships, and I don't think it's realistic that they'd just immediately be in a happy relationship. I love fluff as much as the next person, but I definitely don't think their problems end when they get together.
one thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon
obviously seblaine - even if they'd just given us a little bit behind the scenes (what were those phone calls and texts??? they were clearly good friends!!)
I wish he'd been around more after season 3 - I realize because of real life reasons this was impossible, and he probably would've been back quite a bit if it wasn't for the flash, but I would've loved to see him develop friendships and plots and sing more songs and maybe have a relationship or two
blaine anderson
how I feel about this character
he's one of my first favorite glee characters and one of the main reasons I still love this show
I think I relate to him more than I relate to any of the other characters in the show - he has that passionate, overachiever, ruthless drive for success thing that Rachel has but he's also clearly very anxious about things and experiences depression and has some attachment issues, and I think all that makes him a much more complicated character than he's given credit for
all the people I ship romantically with this character
Sebastian ofc - see above lol
I used to be a huge blam fan - I haven't read or written them in a long time but I still think this is probably my second favorite blaine ship - they have a lot of chemistry together with a lot of fantastic scenes and development in season 4 specifically, and I think this would've been a cool path to go down during their senior year in the post-kurt/mercedes era
I also used to love klaine (prior to realizing how toxic that relationship was lol) - they were def cute in season 2, and they were probably one of the first queer ships I saw on tv that I felt that attached too. I think if handled better in the later seasons they could've been great, and I think if they're written well they can be a lovely ship - I played blaine in a glee rpg during covid (dark times lmao) and I found writing klaine with a person who really cared for writing Kurt's character well to be super fun
my non-romantic otp for this character
definitely sam & tina! blamtina is my favorite trio in the show, and I think their friendship felt very realistic and well-developed, especially for something that really only existed to that extent for one season
a close second would be rachel - I think blaine and rachel definitely get each other in a way the other new directions don't really, and I enjoy their dynamic a lot, especially in the beginning of season 6
oh and the warblers. he referred to that group as a brotherhood and then just,, left ? makes it hard to believe they were as close as he said, but I also will die on the hill that he must've had strong relationships with those guys if they got him from how he must've felt post Sadie Hawkins to the guy that was confidently singing the lead at every performance
my unpopular opinion about this character
while I do think he was occasionally too whiny and treated as a caricature in the later seasons, I also think a lot of that was the natural progression of his character given the circumstances he was dealing with. I think it's very natural for insecurities to come up when you go from where he was at in season 2 (star/lead vocalist of the warblers, admired and beloved by his peers, confidently helping Kurt through the bullying and trauma of McKinley) to season 3 (ignored/disregarded by ND's leaders like finn, only getting the occasional line or two in performances, treated almost exclusively as Kurt's boyfriend)
he was more interesting in seasons 2 & 4 when he was single than he was at any point during his relationship with kurt
one thing I wish had happened with this character in canon
seblaine !
or honestly getting to see him in any romantic relationship with someone other than Kurt (karofsky doesn't count lol we all collectively pretend that didn't happen)
why do we know like nothing about his life !! he's one of the major characters in the show (second in solos only to Rachel I think?) and yet all we get are a few one off and very concerning lines about his dad??? then his mom randomly shows up at the wedding??? and cooper's there but only for an episode and then never brought up again??? girl what I need to know his lore
#seblaine#sebastian smythe#blaine anderson#glee#send asks#I scrolled back to the top and saw that I have written a fucking book in this post sorry about that

choso and/or megumi? :)
im so. i just spent so long typing this out only for the page to crash and delete everything i said. why does tumblr HATE ME anyway thank you for the ask i’ll try to remember everything i said the first time 😭
choso!!
favorite thing about them: his relationship with itadori is so cute! such a good brother! his facial expressions are so cute and silly! literally found out itadori was his brother and went “okay i’ll die for u now”
least favorite thing about them: the fact that they robbed him of his sick shoes in the anime. maybe something else will come up in the future but for now that’s it
favorite line: i got two! *in a life or death situation* can u just call me onii chan like once please please please please (paraphrasing), *facing kenjaku after finding out that they’re his dad and yuuji’s mom* “hey little bros look at this im gonna kill our parent
brOTP: gotta go w yuuji since they are in fact bros. his relationship w mahito is so silly to me tho, and i’d love to see him interact with todo!
OTP: i dont really have one. rn i think he’s too focused on his brothers to think abt that
nOTP: its not a no for me per se just that i think choso and yuki are very one sided. yuki clearly likes him but he’s too focused on yuuji rn
random headcanon: i can see him having a long skincare routine with a fluffy hairband
unpopular opinion: i think he is frequently mischaracterized in the name of fitting ppl’s sexual fantasies about him. ofc im all for having fun but i noticed it does impact broader perceptions of his character sometimes. could say this about any jjk man tho.
song i associate with them: mmmm maybe sunflower by post malone, don’t have a reason for it buy yea
favorite picture of them: have two
MEGUMIIIII
favorite thing about them: he is me i am him we are the same. realistic depiction of what it is like to be abandoned by your parental figure and then be told you’re “special” for some reason and now too much is expected of you but you never wanted this in the first place. i could raise him so well let me adopt him. I Will Take Care Of Him.
least favorite thing about them: can’t. that’s my son.
favorite line: soooo many but i think about “so start by saving me itadori” DAILY. hourly even.
brOTP: love his relationship with kugisaki. would love to see him with yuuta more for purely self indulgent reasons that are not related to my dancers au….
OTP: obviously gotta go with ITAFUSHI i could talk abt them for hours. a brain virus fr they’re everything to me.
nOTP: 🧑💻 megumi & sukuna, megumi & toji, megumi & gojo, megumi & mai, etc. i try not to yuck other ppls yum but uh. i couldn’t even decide which of these was worst.
random headcanon: uhhh this ones a sad one, but i think before gojo came along, he and his sister were starving (compared to other characters shown as kids he looks much bonier), so even into adulthood, he has a hard time gaining weight from the effects of childhood malnutrition and as a result, is a bit less physically strong than he could potentially be (still very strong tho)
unpopular opinion: you already know what im gonna say. most overhated character in jjk. yall need to get off his back before i get violent im so serious rn everything he does is a perfectly valid reaction to the trauma he’s been through since he was literally a toddler
song i associate with them: i got so many…recently been thinking of dreams of losing teeth by suave punk & moon i already know by mount eerie the most
favorite picture of them: soo many…unhinged megumi vs pocket sized gumi i cant pick

Having a hard time choosing a pwotr character for the character breakdown asks because I'd love to hear your thoughts on so many of them, but you know who I'd pick if cornered. Woljif please 😁
Aah thank you!! Woljif is an excellent choice!
How I feel about this character
He’s one of my pwotr favs! I’m sure it helped that Piper was my first playthrough- they were born to be best friends, and as soon as he told her they could run off together if the Crusader thing didn’t work out he cemented his permanent place in her party
Even without all that, he’s an archetype I really enjoy: the chaotic mischief-maker with hidden depths, who has a ton of flaws and makes a ton of mistakes but ultimately has his heart in the right place
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Hmm- I’ll be honest, I haven’t thought about this one much! All the OC ships with him are great (I love Sia/Woljif so much!!!), but other than those I haven’t considered many!
That said, I do think Sosiel/Woljif would be cute. There’s a banter where Sosiel says that Woljif has “an intriguing and appealing expression” when he’s lost in thought…and Woljif brushes it off as Sosiel telling him to be quiet, but idk I think there could be something there.
Like, Woljif enjoys challenging a lot of Sosiel’s ideas, but Sosiel genuinely enjoys the discussion and appreciates some of Woljif’s deeper thoughts. And Sosiel likes catching Woljif off guard by meeting Woljif’s cynicism with his own earnest opinions (see that banter where Woljif asks what the most valuable thing in a shelynite temple is and Sosiel just says “rose petal tea <3”). And I think Sosiel would bring out Woljif’s softer side, and Woljif would get protective of Sosiel, and they’d have some interesting parallels in how their respective families impact their character arcs. Y’know this started out as a small thought but the more I talk the more I like it
My non-romantic OTP for this character
I mean, y’all know how much the Piper & Woljif friendship. Rambling about my OC’s probably isn’t what this prompt is intended for but too bad because Piper & Woljif are everything to me. They had this instant understanding of each other, and they only grew closer over time, and they’re joking when they call each other brother and sister but they also mean it with their whole hearts. I need to find that quote about friendship soulmates again because that’s them!!
Ha but for canon- I really like Woljif’s friendship with both Seelah and Daeran. Despite their differences he and Seelah have such a good time together, talking about cons and tavern songs, they’re a fun pair! And it’s fun to imagine Woljif and Daeran after the game, traveling around and causing trouble on their own time.
My unpopular opinion about this character
Ok, I did just say I like his and Daeran’s friendship- but I really hate that one banter where Daeran jokes about throwing coins on the ground and making Woljif bark like a dog??
I mean, it’s in character for Daeran; that’s the kind of shit he likes to say. But it’s weird to me that Woljif has so little of a reaction to that, especially when we see him get worked up over being looked down on in other circumstances.
And I’ll admit, part of the reason is bothers me so much is how many people I saw react to it like it was a ‘haha hilarious’ moment and not a ‘Daeran wtf’ moment
Anyway. A less salty one is that I really like how his bad ending is written! This one is just unpopular because not many do it- understandable, it does hurt my heart a lot. But the characterization is so good, they manage to give him a personality that is really different from his good ending while still being very Woljif, and that’s impressive!
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
Honestly there’s not much. The nice thing about pwotr is that it’s long enough to fit a ton of character stuff, and there’s really not much I can think to add. It is a shame they didn’t get to making him a canonical romance option, so I’ll go with that- I’d be so interested to see what they had planned for that!

Fpr character ask, Diane from Bojack Horseman.
Favorite Thing About Them:
Just how she'll push for her beliefs. Even if she does go about stuff in the wrong way she does try to do good and makes genuine effort in trying to fix any mistakes she makes. Also the episode with her going to Vietnam and dealing with her cultural identity resonated with me
Least Favorite Thing About Them:
I know the Belle Room thing is a big source of discourse with her but to be honest, I don't like how she handled the thing with Bojack, Penny and New Mexico. At first I didn't think about it but the more I thought about it, the more it bothered me. Yeah, she was rightfully angry about the whole thing but think of it like this in universe: She essentially wrote something horrible that happened to this girl into the show, with the actor who was involved with that. What if Penny saw it? What if Charolette did? It was becoming super popular so even if they didn't see they could've easily seen it in passing or heard about it from someone in their life or online. This show goes into consequences a lot so I'm actually kind of shocked this didn't happen.
Favorite Line:
"I can't believe this country hates women more than it loves guns" Idk I just found that one funny
BrOTP:
I absolutely adored the small scenes we got with her and Guy's son. Them bonding over the Ivy Tran book series was so cute and wholesome to me
OTP:
I think that she should've been on her own and figure stuff out first but her and Guy are a great fit for each other
nOTP:
Her and Bojack. Sure they could be good friends but they can just bring out the worst in each other. Also I kinda feel that Bojack put too much pressure on her to help him emotionally and low key "fix/save" him...I guess, I don't know if I worded that right but this is the closest I could describe it.
Random Headcanon:
She low key collects super nice notebooks/journals but never fully uses them
Unpopular Opinion:
Some fans are WAY TOO harsh toward her
Song I associate with them:
The closest one I could think of is "My Grand Plan" from the Lightning Thief Musical. I kinda get the vibe a lot of her activism, outside of obviously caring about these issues, I think it's also her just wanting to leave her mark on the world and this fits that tone. Also please check the musical out! They did an amazing job adapting the book
youtube
Favorite Picture of Them:
This part was just amazing to me. Her truly starting to take care of her mental health was nice to see. Also I love the writers depicting weight gain as a positive thing. That it happens 'cause she's getting in a much better place in her life

therion? for the character thing
favorite thing about them
i ADORE his story tbh. like, him learning how to trust again after being horrifically betrayed by one he once considered a friend, maybe even family? UGH i eat that shit up every time
least favorite thing about them
unfortunately that's also whag i don't like about him. the fact that (this is more of a gameplay thing than a character thing but im still gonna rag on it) we barely get any character interaction between the travellers and CORDELIA of all people was the one to teach therion how to trust again rather than the travellers. like no you literally are using him for free labor go fuck yourself cordelia
favorite line
i have no idea where it came from but that one theri voiceline where he just screams "NIGHTY NIGHT". most aggressive goodnight ever.
brOTP
him and primrose tbh. two traumatised dagger-wielders bond over the fact that they have no one to turn to and also like to be alone. i love them so much. aaaaaaAAAAAA
OTP
therion/alfyn i cant even lie. i don't even know how the ship started or what got me into it but GOD it's so good. i adore it. i love them so much. country bumpkin manages to somehow(????) warm the heart of the lone wolf of the group. iconic 10/10 no further notes
nOTP
therion/tressa. he is 24 and she is 18. need i say more.
random headcanon
he was from a noble family in saintsbridge before becoming a thief after its downfall when his mother died
unpopular opinion
i think therion is often reduced to "gayboy thief who's in love with sunshine apothecary" and he is SO much more than that. also i hate cordelia ravus i want to punt her into the sun i cant STAND her rich ass
song(s) i associate with them
thanks to some art (i cant remember the artist, will update this and tag them if i can find them again), Hanged Man Reversed by June Henry! it's just incredible. also I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie. another good song that fits him more at the end of his story, whereas HMR is more near the beginning
favorite picture of them
i have three
first one is his COTC art. he's iconic. this is what i imagine he was doing in the first cutscene of his story when he was listening to those thieves in the tavern talk about 'the famous thief'
next is his concept art from the art book. i can NOT get over this. will never be normal about him. it just took me five tries to spell normal. i love him
third is (what i assume to be) his official(?) art towards the countdown to ot2's release. the almost smug expression on his face?? the apples?? the dimension of his hair??????? iconic. i love him. he's so silly.

Kael'thas for the ask meme thingy please i need
favorite thing about them Okay I'll try not to write a novel here but there's so little I don't adore about Kael'thas & it's hard to choose just one thing for this lmao. Like you can tell he cared/cares about his people a LOT, he just made some very poor decisions. I love that despite everything he tries to put the blood elves first, he definitely shouldered way more responsibility than he really needed to even for their leader imo, he had other people he could have relied on to share that burden! but he didnt!
Even before the scourge or the outlands, kael had SUCH an interesting personality? Like hes sometimes this bratty childish prince that can be stubborn as hell if he doesnt get his way but he's also easily one of the most powerful mages at the time, even getting on the council of six seemingly relatively easily because of it. So he may be a bit spoiled but he definitely clearly knows how to reign himself in & be serious when he needs to be & that makes him such a fun character with depth beyond just leaning into one trait or another.
Blizzard really shafted themselves when they tossed him away, I would have LOVED to see him progress through the expansions beyond being forgotten about until Shadowlands. least favorite thing about them how blizz threw him away :) I will never recover from the knowledge that they used him PURELY to fill a raid boss slot. He had SO MUCH POTENTIAL. I guess on the other hand we probably wouldn't have nearly as much content with the triumvirate as we do but I'm still not happy about nerfing Kael like that. favorite line "This is your brain, say hello brain. (brain says 'Hello!') And this is your brain on fel magic: (fel magic burns)(brain cries in pain) Any questions?"
(Honestly any of the HoTS quotes are gold this one just made me laugh the hardest) brOTP Hot take perhaps? Sylvanas pre-scourge. I like to imagine he kept trying to play matchmaker with her & lorthemar at that time & both of them hated the concept (but unfortunately kael is a stubborn bitch) but otherwise their friendship was equal parts business and jovial (as much as Sylv could be anyways) OTP honestly a BIG tie between Kael x Rommath & Kaellidan nOTP Controversial take in the Kael fandom probably but Jaina. I like them as friends or friendly rivals but don't really understand why there would be romance between them. random headcanon okay idk if this is gonna make sense & this is more of like a character study headcanon rather than a legit "this is how I think he goes about life" sort of thing but i have a big hc the triumvirate are just...sections of Kael. His laidback/care free traits being Hal, His leadership & determination & drive to protect the blood elves being Lorthemar, & his passion for magic & everything scholarly being Rommath. Idk maybe I'm looking to far into it but the fact Lor has reminded Rom of Kael on more than one occasion & vice versa really has me thinking on this.
If you want like a legit headcanon tho I definitely think Rommath got his humor and love of puns from Kael back from when they were younger. Kael said one (1) pun once, Rom laughed his ass off (& still refuses to admit it), & has come to appreciate the crafty wordplay of puns ever since.
Also another for you as an excuse to put it somewhere :: his title "the sun king" was actually from Illidan, back during one of their first meetings. Illidan meant it more in a derogatory way towards kael but kael thought it was brilliant & adopted it unpopular opinion i,,, actually dont like his VA in TBC. Nothing against the guy personally, imo it just doesnt fit Kael? I liked the one they used in Heroes of the Storm & SL (which i...THINK is the same person? idk im bad with remembering names but they sound similar so im sticking with that assumption) song i associate with them I have way too many actually that are just ship songs but I do associate this one specifically with Kael
Glass Animals - The Other Side of Paradise favorite picture of them his hearthstone battleground illustration does very gay things to me

Scaramouche 💖 (ofc)
I was waiting for that one
Favorite thing about him - oh where to start. I love pretty much everything about him. I like that his trauma is so similar to mine that he's become a big source of comfort. But for the sake of pissing people off i will say his haircut. I will defend that haircut till i die and i will get into physical fights if i have to
Least favorite thing about him - that this mf has so many cool outfits and yet we only get the blue one. Makes me furious! But on a more serious note, probably his god complex. not because i don't like it but because it gave people a foundation to categorize him as a one dimensional arrogant mean guy when he's imo one of the best written characters of the entire game.
Favorite line - either when fischl went on an entire cryptic rant and he just went "uhh.. excuse me?" Or when paimon wouldn't shut the fuck up and he said "lowly creature, know your place" I quote that one a lot cause it's so insanely funny to me. He's so silly
brOTP - him and itto!! I know they are friends I KNOW they are and i will keep saying it. I will shout it from all rooftops i am a firm believer that Itto would basically adopt him into his friend group. Its such a cute dynamic
OTP - i am a dirty self shipper so obviously the anser is scaraven but other than that i am a scaralumi truther and will read nothing else
nOTP - I respect ships even if i don't like or care about them much but i'd say probably him and dottore cause I hate shipping victims with their abusers
Random headcanon - in my head he still has balljoints idc. Also he's like a Disney princess and animals and children love him including aranaras. They would probably mistake him for one of them. He's a mom friend but doesn't want to make it obvious. He smells like fresh air and clean bedsheets.
Unpopular opinion - if he were in some kind of modern au he would most likely be some sort of incel. I said what I said. I think that man is a loser. I stand with my cancelled wife
Song i associate with him - i have a 15 hour long playlist dedicated to him so picking only one song is torture and i won't take the easy way out by saying bohemian rhapsody so either "it almost worked" by tv girl or さいごのこと (one last thing) by Österreich which has been one of my favorite songs for YEARS now but it ironically fits him incredibly well considering the cryptic lyrics are most likely about a murderer committing suicide
Favorite picture: not a picture but this

for character ask meme, emiya alter ^^
(based on this post)
thank you, anon :D I hope I'm not too late to this ask meme thing in the FGO fandom, because I will happily gush about Emiya Alter to anyone who asks. that man needs more love.
favorite thing about them just one? all right. Emiya Alter's gone through so much-to the point where it clearly had lasting & damaging effects on him-the nihilism, abysmally poor memory, self-destructive tendencies, etc etc. he's symbolic of the "Hero of Justice" role to its furthest ends, a "weapon" meant to be of service whilst his own identity is pretty much an afterthought. but he also dives for Melt, giving her the second chance he never had. he guides Ritsuka out of his own hellish mindscape, and gives them a tow cable-a lifeline-for a Valentine's gift. he assists Voyager in saving Erice, and there's at least one or two lines where he can relate to her being an agent of death. there's hope for him yet, even though he's reached his own tragic ending. his ideas of "help" can be messed up, obviously, but he's going out of his way to try if nothing else. moreover, he needs some peace of mind after basically going through hell and back.
least favorite thing about them his original JPN design, obviously. the racism surrounding it has become indelible and synonymous with his character. obviously we don't know for sure, but it would not surprise me to learn that the reason he's received little attention in Craft Essence art is because of the controversy surrounding his character.
favorite line "Don't apologize. Good intentions are like sandpaper." I've probably analyzed this line to death, but I believe it summarizes Emiya Alter perfectly: a man whose own charity and constant vigilance for justice has eaten away at him. at the same time, he tries to disregard his own state of being as if it's no big deal; however, since he does not perceive himself as human anymore, the outcome is a lot more distressing than perhaps he might expect.
brOTP maybe Assassin Kiritsugu? I know, I know, Kiritsugu's basically a father to Emiya, but Assassin diverged from his own path in Fate/Zero so I'm sure it's fine here. my other brOTP idea is of him secretly thinking Hijikata's swordmanship is cool, even if he can't understand why Hijikata's so hellbent on upholding the Shinsengumi all the time. I can also see Alter putting up with Tamamo Berserker's outrageous behaviour towards him in a "I can't stand this, but she won't stop and it'd be a waste of energy" kind of way, and it developing into a strange but heartwarming bond later on.
OTP Emiya Alter x Yan Qing. I've only seen one (1) piece of content about it on pixiv, but they've got enough similarities (being Shinjuku villain Servants and having identity issues) and differences (Alter's serious and to the point, forging weapons-while Yan Qing is more flippant in a laid-back manner, using his fists & feet as weapons) that I'd love to write a fic shipping the two of them.
nOTP apparently a few people have shipped Alter with Kiara, of all people. I'm also personally not very fond of the Emiya Alter x Jalter pairing.
random headcanon Emiya prefers to eat alone, but he'll tolerate it if other Alters sit at his table. he wishes Nitocris Alter would stop talking about death so evocatively, as if it were a service she were performing upon other people; he sees death as an aid to his toolkit, and nothing more.
unpopular opinion I love his edgelord behaviour. it's incredibly comical how cynical he gets (his brooding over board games in BGA comes too mind), which is part of the reason. but there's something that just hits in how played straight his character usually is, and how genuine the depths of his despair go.
song i associate with them No title by Reol. a fitting song name for someone who's wholly embraced being Nameless. the chorus' lyrics particularly come to mind: Slowly and gently, it crumbles and breaks Wrap it slowly around my neck til I can't breathe And the me from yesterday was killed Slowly and gently, our scattered ennui When I hear you speak so unethically It turns to a voice I don't know
favorite picture of them he doesn't have a lot of FGO art, but I've always loved Emiya Alter's Formal Dress CE. it's sleek, sharp and overall just...so cool-looking. the pinstripe suit brings his self-ascribed mercenary role to a focal point; such suits are typically worn in professional settings, natch. then there's the smaller details, like the gears on his tie and how the tie bar on it has a Chaldean symbol. I also appreciate how his grey polo shirt is strained, emphasizing his muscles and torso.

perceives those character questions... how about ur man seymour anddd.. homura. variety. you don't gotta do both if you don't want
SEYMOUR!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH <3
favorite thing about them: Oh god do I have to pick just one thing?? I love his hair, I love his glasses, I love his clothes, I love his voice....I love how sweet he is to Audrey and to his plants <3 I also love how he was immediately convinced to kill orin when he saw him hurting audrey like YESSSSS KING!!! THE GUY SURE LOOKS LIKE PLANT FOOD TO ME!! He is also so SO sopping wet and pathetic and that only makes me love him even more.
least favorite thing about them: NOOOOOO I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING I DISLIKE ABOUT HIM I LOVE HIM TOO MUUUUUCH
favorite line: "Hi, Audrey! You look radiant today~ <3" OR "Twoey, that's disgusting." OR "You watch your language!"
brOTP: i guess him and twoey but only in AUs where twoey is actually nice and isn't trying to eat the world. I would like for him to have more actual people to be friends with!!
OTP: Him and Audrey, obviously. Literally they made me believe love is real <3
nOTP: Seymour/Twoey or Seymour/Orin. He does not deserve that kind of suffering.
random headcanon: He has autism (just like me!) and his special interest is plants/botany, specifically weird and exotic plants (His monologue in "da-doo" could be interpreted as him infodumping). Also, he's prone to sensory overloads bc he gets overwhelmed easily ;w;
unpopular opinion: hmmmm. idk. i think some people give him too much credit for his actions. some people like to act like he was some secretly fucked up mastermind from the beginning but he's literally Just Some Guy who was talked into killing people by a giant plant bc his life sucked and as far as he knew, he didn't have any other chance to make things better. he was living in poverty and stuck in a dead-end job. he was desperate. did he make mistakes? yeah of course he did. but like. idk. i feel like everything was more twoey's fault than seymour's.
song i associate with them: "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" by Paul Anka. Its from around the same era the movie takes place in and I can picture him singing it for whatever reason.
favorite picture of them: LISTEN i have a whole folder of pictures of this man its impossible for me to pick just one BUT:
this recent addition to my collection is pretty cute <3 he looks soft i just wanna kiss his cheeks and give him a big ol hug
aaaaaand now homura
favorite thing about them: SHE IS LITERALLY SO COOL. I like that she seems cold and distant but is actually feeling SO MUCH beneath the surface. I also like when she uses her guns or her time-shield thingy. OH and the sassy little hair-flips she does sometimes!!! ALSO she kicks kyubbey's ass all the time it's great. I also have a weakness for characters who have distinct "before" and "after" personalities (Homura's being her shy pre-magical girl/time loop self and her serious self that we see for most of the series)
least favorite thing about them: Her whole deal at the end of Rebellion is kind of weird I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it (I think the main series ended on a well-enough note) but her demon design is still pretty cool. Also she kind of gets into Madoka's business a lot like showing up at her window in the middle of the night?? It's funny but also girl what the hell are you doing?
favorite line: Uhhh I don't remember any of her actual quotes from the series so here's one from the legendary video Meduka Meguca: "MEDUKA DON'T GOOOOOOOOO"
brOTP: I feel like if her and Mami had a better, less antagonistic relationship they could be good friends.
OTP: Her and Madoka of course! <3
nOTP: I have no idea.
random headcanon: She is autistic and also a lesbian to me <3
unpopular opinion: ummmmm i don't know lol i don't really interact with the pmmm fandom much
song i associate with them: "In the End" by Linkin Park. I'm pretty sure I saw an AMV with her set to that song way back. Plus, the lyrics fit her situation pretty well
favorite picture of them: This one speaks to me

Hi in honour of the short carla conversation we had the other day. Miss Carla Dosa. To no ones surprise
MORE than happy to talk about her :]
Favorite thing about them: I love how her reviews of the Weasel Kid games really reflect her attitude towards Lionel at the time. She really just wanted to root for him no matter what (she doesn’t even seem angry over SWK 06 like all of the other reviewers, just sad) and it’s a shame how that turned out for both of them. Congratulations on surviving being a human character in the Mullinsverse Carla and also sorry about your best friend being blinded by success and ultimately consumed by it.
Least favorite thing about them: She didn’t appear at all? Come on, she could’ve at least gotten a grainy picture like Kaycee did but. Nope. </3
She did get to make a game and get it published to steam though so good for her in that regard. Even if it opened a back door to (fictitiously) installing a clown virus on your computer.
Favorite line: I don’t have a favorite line but I DO want to point out that the font she uses in Secrets of Legendaria is the Minecraft font. Absolutely fantastic on her part.
brOTP: The dynamic between her and Sado is so interesting to me and I wish it was explored more in canon (but it wasn’t/probably won’t be in the future so I’ll just do it myself). The way I see it is that Sado is purely chaotic neutral in all respects except around Carla, who she sees as a friend and therefore actually listens to (Carla initially worried that she’d accidentally hard-coded her with that loyalty and—after learning she was alive—immediately tried to undo that by insisting that Sado can do whatever she wants regardless, but that’s not true. Sado is sticking around because she wants to and that’s about it).
OTP: I don’t really ship Carla with anyone
nOTP: I don’t not ship Carla with anyone either—again, I’ve seen maybe two or three Carla ships and I don’t have a strong opinion on any of them one way or another.
Random headcanon: Pretty much everything is a headcanon regarding this character but I’d like to imagine that—following the incident with Secrets of Legendaria—Carla gets a job at GameFuna proper (honestly not much of an upgrade, but GameFuna is in desperate need of programmers who actually know how to program… the head of the company who insists on pushing all the concepts himself definitely isn’t qualified, no matter how passionate he is. Plus, GameFuna doesn’t give a shit about someone’s reputation, AND she gets to work from home a lot of the time, it’s a win in her book). She’s also not aware that her boss is the Actual Devil just because that’s funnier in my book. He’s just an eccentric asshole to her. “Yeah he’s a CEO obviously he’s the devil. What do you mean from the bible.”
Unpopular opinion: I don’t think there are any unpopular Carla opinions on account of the fact that I don’t think anyone remembers she existed outside of… maybe three people. I’d say four but that’s pushing it.
Song I associate with them: Hm, don’t think I have a specific one—at least not one that actually fits. Maybe Remain Nameless by Florence + the Machine? Not 100% on that though. As a bonus I inexplicably associate her with Goodnight Socialite by the Brobecks. It has absolutely nothing to do with her character as far as I’m aware. I just think she’d enjoy it I guess.
Favorite picture of them: There aren’t any </3

dr3 chiaki for the ask game?
CHIAKI CHIAKI CHIAKI CHIAKI CHIAKIIIIIIIIIII
i kinda don't distinguish dr3 and sdr2 Chiaki becuse I close my eyes at the part of the canon that says she's dead lol. it's my world and my rules she's alive and well ok
favorite thing about them
Her passion to her hobby/talent. I relate to that a lot and also find it a very interesting quirk of hers. Like other ultimates don't really lose their sleep and food to do more photos or cooking or else. Other than Ryota and that's why we kin him too. Idk makes me wonder why Nanami is the way she is
least favorite thing about them
Here's two 1) The way fandom treats her. She gets SO much hate and for what? She just wanted to play her silly games all day and have friends :( The "mary sue" treatment like yeah she's not the best written character in the series but she's fine! It's not a crime to not have a detail backstory or character. it's sad we don't have it, but it doesn't make her awful. Oh and I HATE the "waifu bait" thing!! The fact that Kodaka said in the interview that he made a character with similar hobbies as him is not the same as waifu bait! I can relate to this feeling of his and see nothing bad with it. She's not just a pretty looks and "uwu gamer girl" (she doesn't fit the stereotype at all imo) and those who think otherwise didn't really pay attention to her. And 2) How little focus she has despite her role. I wish dr3 spent some time developing her character and story. We know very little about her life before the events! And it's sad! Her behavior gives a lot of food for thought of why she's the way she is and I would love to see more canon material about it. Esp if we consider that in canon it's the real Chiaki. Not focusing on her as a person was a big mistake
favorite line
From sdr2: "Nagito can you please be quiet" like yes girl!! So epic of her. AND THE WAY NAGITO IMMEDIATELY SHUTS UP FDKGMJ. And "How should I lure out Nagito? No, acting sexy won't work..." like girl why was it the first idea you had huh?? Huh?? huuuh??? 👁👁👁👁
From dr3: "I wanted to play games with you... One more time..." and her whole near death speech in general. like GIRL YOU'RE DYING AND YOU THINK YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SHOULD SAY SORRY?? Let me hug you T^T I had to rewatch that scene for this and it breaks my heart everytime. ON A BRIGHTER NOTE it's not a line but a k.o she gave Hanamura even tho she was affected by the soup. It was so badass of her like YEES GIRL SHOW HIM!!!! #HanamuraSlander
brOTP
So many honestly... Hinanami and even komanami, her and chihiro and her and sonia... I feel like she would get along with a lot of people
OTP
Komanami 100%. Nanami canonically has always been the only person in their class who didn't hate Komaeda at every point of the story. She has always shown compassion and support to him. While also not approving of his wrong actions and doing her best to show him that there's other way. That he can be their classmate and friend too. There's part in her dr wiki page that says "Even self-deprecating Nagito Komaeda understands that Chiaki would always invite him even if no one else would" LIKE?? And people still say that they canonically hate each other??? I'm sure they were friends in dr3
nOTP
Hinanami lol. Sorry to every hinanami lover here but I don't see the chemistry at all. And I just feel like the impact they had on each other hits stronger if you think of them as friends. At least it's the way I see it lol. Don't think it's bad tho, it's definitely nice. Just not my cup of tea
random headcanon
Autistic!! It makes SO much sense, the most making sense thing possible ever. Gaming is also her coping mechanism and a way to hide from outside world, that feels too unpredictable and scary to her
unpopular opinion
Things i said in "least favorite thing about them" and also does headcanoning her alive and giving her more character traits and more detailed story counts? idk. Also there's no way she's as skinny as in canon
song i associate with them
"Apparently there's a cheat code for happiness" eng cover by Milkychan. Because I heard in a first Nanami edit I saw back in 2019 by an editor that since long deleted their videos... They greatly inspired me to edit too. Other than that it also fits her. The way she also interprets things in life as in video game. I can see her understanding key elements of happiness at life as some video game achievements or boosts klhgbn
favorite picture of them
One apple tall

For the character asks: Mercedes and Finn
omg this is an exciting one!!
mercedes jones
how i feel about this character
underrated queen! she was so cool and had so much potential as a character but was constantly ignored by the show and only brought out to belt songs that nobody else could perform like her - in that regard, I think she was given even more of a disservice than Tina because at least Tina had, like, well developed friendships in season 4 + two very long term relationships that had an impact on the show. I mostly think Mercedes deserved better!
all the people i ship romantically with this character
honestly, I'm glad she didn't end up with any of her canon boyfriends - I think Mercedes is one of those characters who really benefitted from getting out of Lima and making it on her own, and I feel like she'll probably meet her soulmate in the music industry or something at some point
that being said, I did really enjoy Samcedes (in late season 2 and throughout season 3, not so much after that), and I LOVED her relationship with Shane because I think it really helped to build her confidence up at the beginning of season 3
my non-romantic otp for this character
once again, she was done a huge disservice because so many of her friendships had great episodes and then were completely ignored after that
her friendship with Rachel (particularly in the later seasons) is very special to me - I love the scene in season 5 when they talk about Finn and Sam and all that, and I love when they bond over how they both experienced a lot of bullying from people like Santana, so even if they're competitive with each other, they still understand where each other came from and have a deep respect because of that
I really wish they'd kept up her friendship with Quinn because that had so much potential at the end of season 1, then they just completely forgot that Quinn fully lived with Mercedes when she got kicked out of her house
my unpopular opinion about this character
I think she was completely valid to leave the New Directions in season 3, but I do not think the Troubletones deserved to win sectionals. I know this isn't really about Mercedes specifically, but I think it's pretty core to her character. I mean, obviously I don't know what the other two songs they presumably performed were and they were probably just as excellent as "Survivor/I Will Survive", but I think the New Directions Jackson medley was one of their best competition performances in the entire show with some of their best dancing and voice variety, and it was really entertaining for me personally.
one thing I wish had happened with this character in canon:
I wish we'd gotten to see more of her music career post high school. She had the most potential for stardom given what we did see in canon, but I kind of have no perception of like how big she ended up being, what kind of music she performed, what her every day life looks like etc., despite the fact that she was in New York with Rachel, Santana, and Kurt. At the end of the show, I wanted to see Mercedes be Beyoncé level successful, and I can head canon it, but I think it'd be fun to see what she would've been like as a full-fledged celebrity.
finn hudson
how i feel about this character
finn was one of my first favorite characters in glee - I can relate to his character a lot as someone who grew up with a single mom and was just trying to fit in which didn't always result in the best decisions
I also think he's just like a very realistic teenage boy - he makes a lot of mistakes, but he's trying his best, and I think the path he was on before his death was very fun and fitting for his character
all the people i ship romantically with this character
definitely Rachel :) this is maybe my most basic glee opinion, but I enjoyed their relationship a lot, and I do think they were genuinely very good for each other. I do think I would've been satisfied with their ending of always coming back to each other, even if they weren't always right for each other at every moment. I'm also just a sucker for high school sweethearts that actually feel capable of making it work in the long term. They're very James & Lily coded to me lol
ngl I enjoy Finn & Quinn for what it is - a midgame/high school sweethearts ship that was never meant to last, and I think the two of them could be great friends later in life
my non-romantic otp for this character
I think Finn's relationship with Kurt is one of the best in the show as far as development goes - they obviously experience a lot of highs and lows, but it's very demonstrative of their individual character arcs, and it's beautiful to watch them go from their weird behavior in season 1 to genuine siblings in the later seasons
I also really like Finn & Santana's friendship (if we ignore the accidental outing lol) - I think they had a lot of potential (is this an unpopular opinion? who's to say)
my unpopular opinion about this character
I genuinely think Finn had good intentions 99% of the time, and things just came out sounding wrong on occasion, as they often do for people who are generally socially unaware because they're living in, like conservative suburbia lol like yes the incident with Kurt in season 1 was quite bad, the accidental outing of Santana was bad, the incident with Sue's baby was bad, but I think he always showed remorse for this behavior and became a substantially better person as a result of it - he is a character who is very capable of growth, and I think that's displayed very obviously throughout the show (i.e., the transition from the way he treated Kurt in season 1 to how he treated Unique in season 4)
one thing I wish had happened with this character in canon:
hard to not immediately be like "I wish he'd been there for the whole show" even though I realize that wasn't physically possible
I think if I have to accept that he was always going to have the same last episode, my main want would be for him to get his happy ending earlier - like, if he doesn't get to teach at McKinley fine but I really would've liked to know he ended up happily teaching somewhere with a foot still in the music world somehow
oh and on a similar note, I really enjoyed his teaching arc in season 4, and I wish we'd gotten to see more interaction with all the newbies specifically - he was excellent with Marley & Ryder, and even Unique a little bit, would've been cool to see him development a good mentor relationship with like Kitty, Jake, etc.

headcanons-headcanons-headca-I should stop and go and do something actually important BUT NO HEADCANONS-
I found out song “Back From The Dead” by Skillet bc I was watching someone’s AMV on RWBY (great job author if you read this!!!) and was like “wow, sounds cool, it might suit Salem’s character” bc guess what yep I do like imagining daily conversations between Salem and Ozpin about the future of the world and this could have been one of them B U T then I decided to be even smarter and actually dive into the lyrics and G U E S S WHAT HAPPENED
NOT A SALEM SONG ANYMORE UHUH
THE FIRST LINE OF THE CHORUS (Light it up, light it up, now I’m burning) AND I AM TRYING NOT TO CHOKE ON MY LAUGHTER BC I S E E WHERE IT COULD COME FROM IF OZPIN WERE TO BE THE ONE SAYING IT (since both Cinder and Salem happened and actually I have a normal non-lyrical headcanon about it but it’ll be in another post)
IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY AT ALL BUT
IT’S SO TRUE?????
AND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING LYRICS- IT SOUNDS LIKE (ANNOYED) OZPIN AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY- (Yes annoyed and not angry since I get the “oH HeRE wE Go AGAin” feelings from this song but in passive-actually-excited-about-it-way??????)
I’M JUST SURPRISED THIS GENRE OF MUSIC SUITS HIM??? SO MUCH??? DID HE GET IT FROM SALEM????
ALSO ENEMIES CLAWING AT MY EYES
DO WE, GOOD PEOPLE, REMEMBER THAT OZPIN HAS QROW AND RAVEN AND THAT BOTH OF THEM ARE ON SALEM’S LIST OF THE NAMES IN RED UNDERLINED SHE’LL CHECK TWICE BC THEY LITERALLY WERE HIS EYES IN A WAY??????
THIS IS SUDDENLY SUCH AN AMAZING RWBY-FITTING SONG
Thanks again for joining me for this TEDx Talk have fun stay creative be positive ✨❤️🎶✨

Fictional Character Ask: Cinderella
For @ariel-seagull-wings
Favorite Thing About Them: It varies from version to version, since her personality is a little different in each retelling, but most common among all is the fact that she never lets her hard life make her bitter or destroy her kindness. Even in versions where she is bitter and not always kind (for example, Leslie Caron's The Glass Slipper), there's still a clear spark of warmth and goodness within her that her stepfamily can't extinguish and which is eventually rewarded.
Least Favorite Thing About Them: This isn’t her fault, of course, but the fact that in most versions she’s beautiful while her stepsisters are ugly or plain, implicitly linking beauty with goodness and worth. This probably explains why so many modern retellings either make the stepsisters beautiful too or give one of them a redemption arc. The latter choice fits with Perrault’s comment that the younger sister was less bad than the older one anyway.
Three Things I Have in Common With Them:
*I love pretty clothes.
*Like Disney’s Cinderella, I love animals.
*Like most versions of her, I always try to be kind.
Three Things I Don’t Have in Common With Them:
*I’ve never been abused or treated like a slave.
*I don’t have small feet.
*I’m not very good at housework (not that Cinderella is naturally good at it, per se, she’s just had plenty of forced practice).
Favorite Line:
This passage from the Disney version:
Oh, that clock! Old killjoy. I hear you. “Come on, get up,” you say, “Time to start another day.” Even he orders me around. Well, there’s one thing. They can’t order me to stop dreaming. And perhaps someday… (sings)
….THE DREAMS THAT I WISH WILL COME TRUE.
This is an excellent quote to cite whenever anyone claims (either as praise or as a criticism) that Cinderella is always passive and “never complains." Here she’s unabashedly complaining and annoyed at being jarred out of her dreams and forced to start another day of hard work and insults from her stepfamily. But at the end, we find the real key to her character: the thing that helps her survive and saves her from becoming hard and bitter. It’s that she never gives up hope.
And from the 1997 version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, when she prays to her father's spirit in the garden after the Stepmother insults her following the ball:
“Father, I know I promised that I’d never leave here, but after tonight, I don’t see how I can stay. If you only knew how she’s changed, you’d understand. I deserve better, Father. I deserve to be loved. And that’s what I found out tonight, and that’s all that really matters.”
BROTP: Her Fairy Godmother, and in the Disney version the mice and birds.
OTP: The Prince.
NOTP: Her Stepmother, or. in the case of the opera La Cenerentola, her stepfather Don Magnifico.
Random Headcanon: As a princess and later a queen, she’ll always respect her servants, employees and subjects as equals to herself, and be renowned for her fair, generous treatment of them. She’ll also be a particular advocate for orphans and other children in need.
Unpopular Opinion: The Cinderella of the Disney version and other traditional retellings deserves all the defense in the world; to disparage her as a weakling for “letting” her stepfamily abuse her and being “helpless” without her Fairy Godmother is victim-blaming. That said, retellings like Three Wishes for Cinderella, Ella Enchanted, Ever After, Cinder, Mechanica, et al, that feature a feistier, less conventionally sweet and more proactive Cinderella are welcome too. There’s room for both types of Cinderella, just like there’s room for both types of women in the real world.
Song I Associate With Them:
Disney's classic, "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes."
youtube
"In My Own Little Corner" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical. (Actually I'm tempted to list every song from Rodgers and Hammerstein's score.)
youtube
“Non piú mesta accanto al fuoco” (”No longer sad beside the fire”) – her triumphant final aria from La Cenerentola.
youtube
The title song from the 1935 Betty Boop cartoon Poor Cinderella:
