I have to be honest with you i Just binge read your blog and i love your Mira and Kuzuryū sibiling bonding headcanons and stuff, I BEG YOU ON MY KNEES i Need some more they're my Happy Place 😭
Oh thank you! You're ever so kind. They hold a very funny place in my heart, chilling on that island with coconuts.
Here's a few that I am literally making up from the top of my head just for you. It's been a few long months since I've talked about them so.
Once just for fun they tried to dye their hairs together (Kuzuryuu less as enthused but Mira is very determined) except Mira could pull it off. Kuzuryuu.... Not so much. His businessman aesthetic did NOT match the sudden blue tone of his hair.
They of course tried a second time and Kuzuryuu got less stares from the single white strip in his bands. Made him look respectable. Natural. Mira then slowly added more and more until he was a proper salt and peppered man.
Mira, just because, has tried to chuck foam balls into the vats of acid. She has succeeded. Kuzuryuu does not know she did this.
They celebrated Halloween together dressed like the Wonderland Queen of Hearts and a judge that read DEATH PENALTY on the back. They spent the entire time talking about spooky stories (Half of them were law based, the other were genuinely spooky stories).
Kuzuryuu has had to massage out Mira's neck pain after she stretched too hard. Chided her the entire time.
My new way of combating anxiety is just if I think someone is being rude to/about me like in public or whatever, I'll just do something really nice for them. That way, if they werent being rude, yay win win they get a nice act from a stranger! If they were, they will feel like a dick and I get to feel smug about that!

No, I'm still not ok with Certain Comments and how we weren't allowed to call people out on their bs. Like, come on, you've only got one god, Cassandra, surely there's plenty of room for you to adopt some more?
Patreon, society6, and redbubble are not responsible for the hurt feelings of any deities.
So I went searching for special dialogue for a romanced Alistair, who stayed with the wardens, about a HoF who made the ultimate sacrifice. Specifically for what he says in DAI. For reasons.
I know what he says about her when she's alive in DAI, so I was curious if he'd saying anything about her if she's dead, like Leliana and Morrigan do. After reading through all sorts of forms and reddit posts where most of the answers were "huh I dunno what he says in DAI, I've never done that route," I eventually found out what he says.
Nothing.
Romanced Alistair says nothing about a dead HoF in DAI. At first I thought this was odd? Surely there's something referencing the fact that he and the warden were in love? even if just for fanservice like in DA2? Some of the comments on these posts blame it on Bioware doing bad writing again but it's hard to tell if they actually mean that, or if they're conflating "I don't like this" with bad writing because honestly? I disagree.
Intentionally or not, Alistair not saying anything about his dead lover is completely in character for him. He doesn't know the Inquisitor. Why should he tell them anything about the love of his life that he lost ten years ago? He's not as open about that stuff like Leliana or Morrigan.
You know what's actually out of character? Alistair giving a random stranger he met for two seconds an item that belonged to his dead lover because "she doesn't need it anymore."
Wasn't it enough to ruin his face, DA2? Did you really need to throw in some botched fanservice as well?
Wait a minute, Varric's telling this story...
Alright, new headcanon: Varric is, as per usual, full of shit. Alistair did give Hawke an item because he felt bad that he couldn't help them with the qunari except it wasn't anything special. But that's not interesting enough, so Varric lied and said Alistair gave Hawke an item that belongs to THE Hero of Fereldan for the sake of showing how super special Hawke is.
all the pics of garrix on the grid show that he was primarily sticking with lando, and had quick greetings with max and daniel - both of whom he's known much longer than lando. idk why im having feelings about it https://www.motorsportimages.com/photos/?race_type_id=54&sort=order_taken&p=27
when I tell you I'm convinced their world travelling was actually their honeymoon
for real WHERE does the idea that [utdr humans] are nongendered so that "you can project on them" come from. their literal character arcs are about NOT being a blank slate to be filled in by the audience
i think i understand the assumption on some level for undertale, because there is a very intentional effort to make you identify with the "player character" in order to make your choices feel like your own (the beating heart of undertale's metanarrative lies in giving you an alternative path to violence against its enemies after all, and whether you're still willing to persue it for your own selfish reasons. YOUR agency is crucial).
of course, the cardinal plot twist of the main ending sweeps the rug from under your feet on that in every way, and frisk's individuality becomes, in turn, a tool to further UT's OTHER main theme: completionism as a form of diegetic violence within the story. replaying the game would steal frisk's life and happy ending from them for our own perverse sentimentality, emotionally forcing our hand away from the reset button.
i think their neutrality absolutely aids in that immersion. but also, there's this weird attitude by (mostly) cis fans where it being functional within the story makes it... somehow "editable" and "up to the player" as well? which is gross and shows their ass on how they approach gender neutrality in general lol.
but also like. there's plenty of neutral, non PCharacters in undertale and deltarune. even when undertale was just an earthbound fangame and the player immersion metanarrative was completely absent, toby still described frisk as a "young, androgynous person". sometimes characters are just neutral by design. it's not that hard to understand lol.
anyone who makes this argument for kris deltarune is braindead. nothing else to say about it.
