8 for the self-insert development ask meme? >:3

Hehe, sure thing, friend! Thank you for this!!

(source: "Self-Insert Development Meme" by blushpanda)

..On the one hand, given that I literally just introduced her and you're also the reason she exists, it seems sacrilege not to answer this for Lorenza. On the other hand, the full answer's probably spoilers, and they'd be spoilers for you specifically. But I think I can get around that somewhat, so here we go!

8. How does she fit into her canon world? What’s her role to play, if any? Does she have a big destiny? Or does she more live as a side character that’s helpful for the protagonists/antagonists? - So, I would describe Lorenza's status as a side character only in the sense that she's not technically all that important to the overarching story. Her destiny is also arguably small, in that she's "only" a reaper's avatar - a voidsent (so, like a demon, essentially) bonded to someone to grant them power in battle, with her payment being the souls of those the reaper kills. This selfsame sort of pact is made by all who take up the discipline to their respective voidsent; that’s just how being a reaper works. But since that reaper, in this instance, would be none other than K'pheli Tia, you could argue that might elevate her relevance up a touch, considering he’s a god and everything.

In terms of explaining a bit more about how Lorenza fits into the world, I will probably have to go under the readmore here - maybe not so much for “important story events that you will see happen during Endwalker” spoilers, but moreso “things you would only find out during Endwalker” spoilers, if that makes sense?? So, thank you very much again for sending this, and don’t feel you have to continue if you want to go into that expansion more blindly.

To everyone who doesn’t mind those spoilers, however, here’s what hopefully serves as a bit more explanation!

So, being a voidsent, Lorenza originates from the Thirteenth, a world that got flooded with darkness to be left as a barren wasteland. However, I am saying that - while she isn’t a Memoriate like Zero - she is similar to Zero in that she was also born after her mother was afflicted with dark aether during the Contramemoria war. This resulted in her maintaining some human traits but also having voidsent ones when she was born, though the actual big Flood of Darkness some time later shifted her to being more voidsent than human. (I keep saying “human” out of not having decided on her in-game race yet, but at the moment I’m thinking probably Miqo’te? Only having three cat-eared - plus one more fully feline - self-inserts when there’s an option for another in the game itself makes it seem more logical, haha). Unlike sin eaters, voidsent are said to retain some of their pre-Flood memories and personalities (though warped) if they are strong enough, and so even if Lorenza isn’t super overpowered, I like to think that her technical hybrid nature would let her keep more of her human side intact. She’s still me, after all, so she’s hopefully not going to end up that body horror-y or anything.

Being somewhat more voidsent than human due to excess darkness is probably the state that she’d be in when she and K’pheli first form their pact, and at this point she’d actually be known by a different name, Colombina (“little dove”, for her winged appearance as a voidsent). You can think of that as the name of what kind of voidsent she is, or her name as a more fully-fledged voidsent, whereas Lorenza is either the name she was actually given when she was born or a name she picks up or is given after becoming slightly more human again (if it’s the former, maybe I can blame the fact she’s not from the Source as the reason for her name not following typical conventions for her race). In Zero’s case, that becoming-more-human-again was due to a crystal of Hydaelyn’s light purging excess darkness, I think - but in Lorenza’s case it could be something K’pheli can do given his powers as the Crystal God?? Or just. Another crystal of Hydaelyn’s light. I don’t really know what the significance was to the original one in all honesty =P

This got a bit rambly, but thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read it!! Hopefully it still answers the question ;w;

[edencantstopfallininlove]

heya!! Your f/os love u!!! Also what do you suppose is the best way to show love to your f/os? How do they show love to you? I hope you feel better soon!! -blushpanda

@blushpanda I know they do...

When it comes to showing love to my F/Os, I think my secret weapon is acts of service. I'm happiest when I get to help them out with their tasks, whether it's helping them make dinner or being a spotter of sorts when they're training. Teamwork makes the dream work! When I'm not doing that, though, I'm perfectly content to spend some quality time with them in my arms.

Recieving love is really on a case-by-case basis. My F/Os all have very varied love languages. But I will say that, in terms of recieving, words of affirmation are important to me. I want reassurance that I'm enough. Besides, I'm most attracted to voices anyway so... 🤷‍♀️

Hello @lovealamode!! Thank you very much for sending this!! ..You sent it to my primary blog instead of this one, which is why I've had to screenshot the ask that you sent to get it onto here, but thank you for sending it regardless!!

(question source: "Self-insert Development Meme" by blushpanda)

Hmm.. I was playing FE3H earlier, so I think I will talk about Catarina (my self-insert for that game) for these, if that's alright!

3. Who in canon is she closest to? Who would she drop everything to come help, if anyone? Who’s the person she's least close to? Who would she most likely not get along with, if anyone? - This is would probably depend a bit on route! However, Catarina is not generally someone who gets overly close to people, as a rule. An exception to that rule which is independent of route would be the other Ashen Wolves, particularly Hapi and Yuri. In terms of her dynamics when recruited into other houses.. she'd be closest with Petra and Dorothea out of the Black Eagles, Felix and Dedue out of the Blue Lions, and Claude and either Lysithea or Marianne out of the Golden Deer. The first character listed from each house would be the one she gets closest to dropping everything for, though she isn't really often the type to do that in all honesty. Examples of people she does not like would include anyone too in favour of the Church (for example Rhea or Catherine - note that this is about the Church specifically, not necessarily the goddess in her own right, which is part of why she and Marianne can get on). She also generally finds it tricky to get along with loud overzealous people like Caspar or Raphael for example, though that's less of an outright dislike and is more simply because they are very different from how she likes to be. Overly egotistical people like a couple of the other nobles can also get on her nerves sometimes.

9. Her favourite foods? Colours? Activities? What does she enjoy in life? How does she express her joy for things she likes? - Catarina's favourite food is something unspecified from her homeland that doesn't really appear in Fódlan (i.e. homemade pizza), while her favourite colours are black, green, teal, and purple. In terms of activities, she enjoys studying plants and flowers, and reading in general, as well as practising her sword and magic techniques. She enjoys being left to her own activities, and greatly prefers warm conditions to cold ones (to the point that when writing hypothetical lines she would have if she was in the game, she’s one of the only people who doesn’t complain about Ailell being really hot, because I thought that’d be amusing). She's not the most excitable person by a long shot, but she will still definitely express her gratitude for things she likes in a graceful manner, especially in situations where she doesn't normally get that opportunity or it's being directly offered by someone else. For example, she doesn't like very many foods, so the rare occasions when there's something she enjoys on the menu - or her friends offer to swap food with her so she can get more of the parts of a meal she can eat, without making a big fuss of it - really mean a lot to her. It's a rare opportunity to see her normal colder demeanour become something a lot softer and outwardly appreciative, because she is genuinely very appreciative of things like that.

10. Her least favourites? What doesn't she enjoy in life? How does she deal with being presented with things she doesn't like? - Catarina doesn't deal well with lots of people being around all at once, or loud overzealous people in general. This would be exemplified in-game by one of her potential lost items being a pair of fluffy earmuffs that she sometimes uses to not be as overwhelmed by lots of loud noises. She's also quite sensitive to strong smells and dislikes a lot of them for giving her a headache, which is part of why she doesn't like a lot of foods served in the dining hall as well as why she never hangs around near the stables. She very much isn’t one for a lot of typical “noble lady” hobbies, like riding horses or makeup or overly extravagant fashion to give some examples. When faced with people she dislikes, she generally isn't afraid to make it clear what she thinks of them with her words, sometimes really rather bitingly - for example, she dislikes a lot of authority figures that have simply been granted their titles or ranks according to tradition or inheritance, rather than actually proving why they are a good fit for their role and subsequently earning their position of authority, if that makes sense. Part of this also comes from the fact that she's quite confident in her combat abilities because she practices a lot, so while she isn't exactly boastful by any stretch, she's very much not a hypocrite if calling someone out for being all talk and no action, or something.

I hope that all of this is alright and makes sense! Catarina's one of the self-inserts I feel is most closely linked to my own personality, or certainly some of how I used to try to be, so.. sometimes it can be tricky to explain how she acts because of that? Still, thank you very much once again for sending in these questions - it means a lot!! ^-^

tell me!!!!!! allens favorite way to spend time with u/your insert!!!!!!!! tell me how they pamper u. how do you pamper them?

honestly i’m probably gonna end up changing my insert for panda pearl so ill do it geNERALLY

allen’s favorite way to spend time with someone would be, of course, going for walks/playing in the park- but if their s/o wasn’t the energetic type, they would settle for simply spending time cuddling! allen loves affection, and so if you date allen, you’re in for a puppy on your lap with their tail wagging away. they love just simply being by you!

as for how they pamper someone- allen is really, really caring. they love to cook, and would cook without hesitation for their partner, always- from scratch! they love taking care of their partner, in general. they’ll bathe with you, help you organize your house, anything you need!!!

pampering them is fairly easy- give them some pets, scratch behind their ears, cuddle them, give them some treats and a bone... they’re fairly simple, and very dog-like. but other than that, some things they really enjoy is being respected as not a ‘soft little puppy’, but as a person. they don’t mind dog treats and toys- they’re great for their energy, and their teeth, and where they’re from nothing really has flavor anyways!

but they’d love a chance to go through a big garden with someone they love; tell them about the different flowers, and just relax together! or go to a lake, or the beach- and they’d love to show off the things they find to their partner. they also would enjoy going to the movies, a cafe, or an arcade- though they’re not used to games, so you’d have to explain what they are... but if you managed to get them a prize from a crane machine...

well, they’d be very heart-eyed and happy!!! they’d cherish it, especially when you were away!!! you’d come back home to find them curled up with it, sleeping away and dreaming of you...

I'm really not the best at this kinda stuff, but I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime? I- I know it's uh, sudden. It's just - truthfully - you've been on my mind for days. I dunno, I'm not sure but there's something about you that's. Really drawing me in. Anyway, I hope this isn't creepy to ask - you're uh, fully welcome to decline. But if you wanted to grab food or something, I know great places for that. Anyway, guess that's it. See you around - Nori

N-nori!? No! This ask isn’t creepy at all, and in fact, I’m...very flustered tbh! -eep!

But I’d love to go out with you if that’s OK! Only if you really mean it!! 😖👉👈💓
