(character ask game)

pmd hero? (can be any pmd game)

Oooh, that’s a good one! Probably gonna have to go with pmd2 hero. Now, with them being a fairly blank slate character so the player can fill in their own personality, it’s a little tough, but I’ll give it a go >:)

favorite thing about them

They find themself in what, in reality, is quite a horrific situation—you’ve been transformed into a Creature and lost all your memories—but are still kind and open to exploring. They don’t have much direction without Partner, but they always go all-in into whatever mission or trial they’re facing.

least favorite thing about them

Probably how passive they can be. Whenever there’s a conflict, the other characters kind of drag them into fights, while they’re mostly along for the ride. It would have been nice for them to speak up and take a little initiative at times. (Explorers of Spirit spoiler alert: of course, aforementioned ROM hack can scratch that itch :P)

favorite line

They have…….so few lines :( But their farewell speech at Temporal Tower, with the whole “you have to keep living,” sentiment gets me every time ;0;

brOTP

Grovyle, and Celebi pre-amnesia for sure!

OTP

Partner! They’re soulmates <3

nOTP

Anyone other than Partner really. I said in a previous ask Partner/anyone from Team Skull would be vomit-inducing, so same applies here I think.

random headcanon

Following everything, they’re not quite sure how they feel about Grovyle. They like him as a friend, but are also aware that they could never have the same friendship they did before the amnesia. I imagine there’s a lot of conflicting feelings, such as an unspoken obligation to feel more regard and friendship for him than they actually do, and then guilt for not genuinely feeling that way. Also bc of it (and my hero being a treecko) they feel nervous about evolving because they’re not sure if they can look at ‘him’ in the mirror until evolving a second time.

unpopular opinion

Not unpopular per se, but a lot of interpretations I see have them as kind of cool and edgy, but in my opinion they’re kind of a little twerp (affectionate). They’re smart enough to navigate a strange world with no memories, but I imagine they’re also weird, funny, and perhaps a tad unsettling. (Also Grovyle is undeniably a weird guy imo, he’s gotta get it from somewhere). Basically this:

song i associate with them

We Stand in Silence by Twelve Titans Silence is a beautiful instrumental piece that always makes me think of them for some reason. When I first listened to it, I got the visuals of someone waking up, finding themselves kind of alone, lights coming into their life (Partner and the Guild), finding themselves alone and lost again (Dark Future arc) and then fighting for a goal they don’t fully remember or understand, but nonetheless now know is important (fighting to stop the Dark Future). I like making plots to instrumental music :P

favorite picture of them

There are so many good treecko artworks out there that I couldn’t possibly pick one! That being said, @snekkerdoodles did this most excellent drawing upon request, which I absolutely adore <3

#Graminos #thanks for the ask!#snekkerdoodles I hope you don’t mind me putting that there it’s just so cute <3 #Pmd2 hero is so special and part of the magic is being able to superimpose your own personality on them much of the time #The other heroes are great too but I don’t recall feeling as connected to them #They felt a little more fleshed out as their OWN characters from what I recall

T*LC Refutation (but decidedly NOT johnlock refutation)

Part-2: What's wrong with their actual meta posts?

[Note: I love and ship johnlock because I saw it for myself in the show when I watched it and was part of the general audience in the past. I even want it to become canon in some Holmes adaption in the future. But T*lc needs to get sucked into obscurity and forgotten. Other fandoms like Good Omens, etc., are following the same rhetoric in their "meta" posts, and that needs to go. This is crucial for our basic critical thinking skills and objectivity.]

1.) Cherry picking and Tunnel vision: These two are almost always linked together.

Cherry- Picking: The action or practice of choosing and taking only the most beneficial or profitable items, opportunities, etc., from what is available.

Tunnel vision (in slang) : A tendency to think only about one thing and to ignore everything else.

This is the first fallacy that comes to mind. Even when I wasn't familiar with the exact words, I could still see that T*lcers always tended to only focus on the moments that could be interpreted as johnlock, and conveniently ignore the ones that contradicted their theories.

An example of this: Why did Sherlock never change his personalised moaning text alert that was set up by Irene on his phone? It even shows up in TLD, why?

I was looking for meta posts that might specifically give me the answer to this question. A T*LC explanation for this. Turns out I didn't find anything.

Because deep down even they know that this isn't exactly a johnlock element in the show. This element is actually about adl*ck.

Like I said, I do ship johnlock, and I'm not even a multi-shipper usually. Adl*ck is literally my NOTP, but facts are facts, aren't they?

This show does not support just one ship involving the title character, but rather it supports multiple of them. Johnlock is just one of those ships. It definitely isn't the only possible explanation for this entire show.

T*lc believers couldn't ever give a johnlock explanation to that thing, so they decided to ignore that altogether, and only focus on how jealous John feels when he hears that tone in the show.

Or, contrarily, they would actively twist every single scene to make it look like a johnlock scene in their meta posts. Which leads me to talk about the next logical fallacy.

2.) Confirmation bias:

Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out and prefer information that supports our preexisting beliefs.

These people saw johnlock in the show (naturally), but then they stretched it so far that johnlock became the main plot of the show eventually in their eyes. Every single scene somehow became all about johnlock to them.

This logical fallacy is the main one and can be found in almost any t*lc meta post.

An example: You guys must've seen posts floating around in this fashion on Tumblr: "If t*lc isn't real, then why..." or "if not johnlock, then what?".

Look at this post and this famous video so you'll get my point easily.

That's confirmation bias. The whole show does not become all about johnlock just because certain scenes from many episodes support the ship. Johnlock is just one interpretation among many in this show.

Besides, this is a Sherlock Holmes adaptation. This is about the most famous detective in fiction. Cases and the individual characterisations (devoid of any shipping biases) will always take the first priority. That's what the general audience - or "casuals" as t*lcers like to call them in a condescending way - is here for.

(Side note but "casuals" are the most important part of the audience in almost any fandom. What those people pick up on usually tends to be the authorial intent. Writers need their hardwork to come across to most people in their audience. They're not writing a show for just a few "special' people on Tumblr.)

This show becomes 100% johnlocky only through confirmation bias.

In response to this fallacy, I love to quote these lines by Sherlock Holmes from A Study in Scarlet (by Arthur Conan Doyle) :

Data! Data! Data! I cannot make bricks without clay.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

3.) Backward reasoning: Closely connected to confirmation bias.

Backward logic or reasoning is a type of thinking that involves working from the end result to find the best solution.

It's not possible for me to state a specific example here. 90% of any T*LC meta starts with a pre-defined conclusion "Because Johnlock!" and then the rest of the analysis is written accordingly.

The biggest problem with this fallacy in the context of t*lc is that any complexity or nuance gets lost in the process. Or on the contrary, these people overcomplicate everything according to their own convenience. Anything as long as they get to the pre-defined conclusion "because johnlock" at the end.

Ok, here's an example, anyway: Irene Adler said she was gay in the Battersea Power station scene. Therefore we'll bend over backwards trying to prove how totally not in love with Sherlock she was.

Never mind the fact that some gay people can develop feelings for the opposite gender sometimes. Sexuality can be fluid for some people.

Also, this episode was written by Steven Moffat, who has been extremely ignorant and insensitive about marginalised people in his interviews in the past. What do you expect?

Her phone's password was "I am SHERlocked". Her last wish was to send a goodbye text to him when she was about to get executed in Karachi. Take a wild guess.

4.) The Black and White fallacy : Self-explanatory.

Black and white thinking is a thought pattern that makes people think in absolutes.

This isn't limited to just the t*lc side of the fandom. Many people, regardless of what they ship are responsible for this.

Example : Moriarty is a "psychopath" so it's absolutely impossible for him to have any real feelings for Sherlock.

This when Moriarty's life has always revolved all around Sherlock ever since Sherlock solved Carl Powers' case when they were both teens.

Just because a character is a villain and abusive towards the main character, it doesn't necessarily mean he's incapable of human emotions. It's not always like this.

Also, ask yourself, why would the abuser in the relationship try every way they know to keep their victim with them? The abuser's real sentiment for the victim is the major reason.

Not condoning abuse or being a Moriarty apologetic here lol. Just saying that his own feelings for Sherlock don't disappear just because this ship is unhealthy.

Also, terms like "psychopath" and "sociopath" have become obsolete for ages now. ASPD is the correct word. Use it. We need to stop throwing around big words we don't even know the meanings of.

5.) Hasty Generalisation:

A hasty generalization fallacy is a claim made on the basis of insufficient evidence or a few examples.

Example:

Mycroft: Oh, Sherlock. What do we say about co-incidences?

Sherlock: The universe is rarely so lazy.

Hoo boy. The way this line got repeated ad nauseam (still does)!

When I was ranting about this line and the fans' attitude towards it to Kim, they said, "The universe is in fact very lazy."

So true, isn't it? There's a reason every phenomenon in the universe, from largest to microscopic, tends towards stability.

In relation to this, not every single event is going to be tied to a specific, neat little narrative in the universe. Entropy is a thing.

Because of this line "The universe is rarely so lazy," any continuity/production error is considered intentional and "clever" (God I hate this word now) by these people. The writers keep getting undeserved credit. There's a reason some people still believe S-4 is fake because it was badly written on purpose.

And this is just one example of the bad things this fallacy has done. Don't even get me started on the symbolisms. (I'm getting there, just wait.)

Here's my response to "the universe is rarely so lazy" then.

This is from the same show.

6.) Bandwagon:

Meaning: Majority of the people believe in this thing, therefore it must be true.

Example: This isn't really specific, but how often have you seen t*lcers just repeat each others' words/statements verbatim? Too often in my experience. Half of the time they don't even seem to think about anything related to the show for themselves. They just seem to be parroting each other.

Ok, have an example then. "Sherlock is such a gay baby bottom twink! 😍"

Not only is this factually wrong, because he's a fully functional grown man, but it's also incredibly fetishistic. Stop fetishising queer people.

Have this in my response:

7.) Ad hominem:

You attacked your opponent's character or personal traits in order to undermine their argument.

How many times have these people falsely accused others of homophobia in response to any kind of criticism? Even if it was constructive.

I've actually seen a bnf say, "People only asked so many questions or expressed so many doubts about t*lc because this theory was about a queer relationship, and the possibility of it becoming canon."

Seriously? So is everyone just supposed to turn their brains off and believe in literally anything you say just because?

You even used to get accused of homophobia if you dared to headcanon Sherlock as asexual or even aro/ace. And these people used to claim they cared about queer representation. LOL.

"Mark Gatiss is secretly straight because he didn't make johnlock canon."

"Sarah Z, the youtuber, is homophobic because how dare she question the sacred t*lc in her youtube video about us?!"

8.) The straw man:

A straw man fallacy occurs when someone distorts or exaggerates another person’s argument, and then attacks the distorted version of the argument instead of genuinely engaging.

Anyone who ships either Sherlock or John with any other character apart from each other (particularly if it's a female character either of them are being shipped with) is characterised weirdly in t*lcer's posts.

"You're so heteronormative if you ship Sherl0lly!"

Even if the said Sherl0lly shipper goes ahead to clarify that they're also queer, and that they headcanon both of those characters in that ship as queer in the show.

You get accused of homophobia for headcanoning Sherlock as bisexual! This comes from the same people who insist John is bi in canon.

Well, something tells me that these people just h/c John as bi to make this ship work.

These were some of the few logical fallacies Kim and I could think of when were talking about the meta posts or even general shitposts by these people. I know there are a lot more than these and this is just scratching the surface.

Well, if most of your posts are just filled with fallacious arguments in an attempt to support your theory, your theory might not be as strong as you think.

Part- 1 Introduction (why I'm making this post now and a bit about me).

Part - 3: Everything wrong with "subtexts" and "symbolisms".

T*LC refutation (but NOT johnlock refutation) master post.

Plasma Bomber?

oooh im so excited to answer THIS one

favorite thing about them

His backstory is both relatable and relevant to the environment of the story as a whole, and if anything, he's basically the ONE character that puts all the important aspects of being a mechanical lifeform into perspective. Either way, he's a great foil to our slightly-too-optimistic protagonists and he's the part of R1's story that makes it actually worth something. Even after R1, he's the point of reference I get to use when discerning just how difficult it might be for the dastardly bombers to get used to being alive again (spoiler alert it's very difficult).

least favorite thing about them

It's sort of an unofficial rule to me to not directly count the Konami Moments because it's redundant by now at best and almost harmful to me at worst, but I think it's weird how his mech was just a big gwinbee. To be fair, the team had lots of fun (it's there because one of the team members was a big twinbee fan) so it's not like an advertisement for twinbee or anything, but it was still odd. Not the worst thing to ever happen, though.

favorite line

Something something "let us do battle", my memory is poor but the way he worded it is a good insight into his character and general patterns. He has more lines I like but again, my memory is absurdly poor.

brOTP

Hmm, probably Plasma and the other dastardlies? I think a unique bond could be formed due to their shared experience of, y'know, being dead a bunch. Seems to be suggested in canon even though we don't see much of them after the end of R1, but what we do see is adorable and precious for those guys (as they deserve to live like semi-normally after getting used by some old guy with megalomania or whatever)

OTP

WHITE. AND. PLASMA. PERIOD. Oh man, where do I start? It's like yin and yang, they're both fans of fighting for justice but it's SO vastly different for them, and then there's... I can hardly continue without stumbling over myself, but believe me! Probably one of my favorite ships of all time, I can write sad and serious moments with them but I can also write times where they just buy apples and are happy and alive together!!

nOTP

Plasma/Magnet. I fucking hate this ship. Hope that explains everything!

random headcanon

Oddly enough, I feel like he likes sports a little. I feel like he would sit down and watch a tennis match. Not his favorite interest, but it's certainly a nice pastime for him when he's not busy training or at work.

unpopular opinion

I honestly just wish more people liked R so I could see other people understand him the way I do. This extends to a lot of characters, but yeah.

song i associate with them

Weirdly enough, even though there are a lot of sad songs, I don't have one?

favorite picture of them

JSAMN Rarepair Fest 2023!

It’s becoming tradition, so brace yourselves!

This year we’re starting the Rarepair Fest off a bit later because of... reasons! But because of this there will be a new aspect to the exchange: a MAXIMUM WORDCOUNT for authors!

For artists it will not be Big Bang-style “illustrate a fic fill”, but more like an art exchange where you interpret your given prompt in any way you wish.

Everyone in the exchange will receive either a fic or a piece of art based on one of their prompts.

The guidelines:

Please do not ask for these pairings. These are the 5 most popular and dominating pairings in the “Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell & Related Fandoms” tag on AO3 from the last 3 years. We love these pairings, but this is a chance to tread new ground and to make rarepair fans very happy indeed! You can use these as background pairings, but please not the main focus of the fic.

BANNED PAIRINGS: John Childermass/John Segundus John Childermass/Henry Lascelles Tom Levy/John Segundus Gilbert Norrell/Jonathan Strange Arabella Strange/Jonathan Strange

Any other pairings or ratings allowed! If you’d prefer gen-fic focused on a particular under-loved character then that’s great too! For single-character prompts, please also avoid any characters mentioned in the pairings above. If you’re struggling for inspiration, the Learned Society has kindly provided a crowd-sourced list of possibilities which you can peruse here.

Any ratings allowed

Maximum fic length of 2000 words.

Art fills must be a finished piece on unlined paper/digital, no sketches.

Age limit of 18+ due to explicit submissions

You will be allocated an exchange participant based on your pairing preference selection (more below!)

All fics and art will be uploaded to the AO3 collection, although you are very much encouraged to also post fills to tumblr/social media account of your choice

To participate you must:

Have an AO3 account (for artists, too, so we can keep all the final products together in this collection!)

Be over the age of 18

Love the underappreciated characters of the Clarkeverse!

Work well on a deadline!

To sign up, please send an email to speakingskies [at] gmail.com specifying in the body of the email:

Your AO3 account name

A list of up to three pairings or characters wish to receive a fic about or art of (please stick to three maximum for admin reasons!)

A brief (200 words max) prompt for each pairing, one that can be conceivably covered in a 1k fic or single piece of art

Any triggers, squicks or NOTPs?

Are you signing up as a writer or an artist? (Or if you are multi-talented, if you will make up your mind based on the prompt you receive)

Are you up for being a pinch hitter if someone drops out?

The deadline for signing up is 14th January 2023. After this a Google Form of submitted pairings will be sent out to you. You will rate your favourites and will be allocated a recipient based on your selections – if two people rate the same pairing as their favourite, the first person to have completed the form will be given that as their prompt, and the second person will receive their second choice.

You will be sent your pairing and full prompt before 21st January 2023.

The submission deadline for entries is 12th February 2023, and submissions will be revealed on the 14th.

You will upload your submission to the JSAMN Valentine’s Rarepair Fest AO3 collection, and gift it to your recipient.

The works will remain anonymous for a week after the reveal. After that, the authors will be unveiled.

Reminders will be sent a week before the deadline, so please do contact me using an email that you check regularly, or set up forwarding or alerts for that email. Please note that these are all hard deadlines. If you need to drop out for any reason, please let me know at the earliest opportunity.

If you have any questions please do DM me or email on speakingskies [at] gmail.com

(o ɞ̴̶̷ ·̮ ɞ̴̶̷ )o Raul and Rotface?

Raul Tejada

Sexuality Headcanon: HE'S BISEXUAL I JUST KNOW IT

Gender Headcanon: N/A (cis man alert)

A ship I have with said character: I think it's really cute when people ship their Courier with him!! <3

A BROTP I have with said character: Him and my courier Rowan B^)

A NOTP I have with said character: N/A

A random headcanon: He's more of an animal person than a people person. He really misses living on a ranch and taking care of animals all day, he especially misses horseback riding

General Opinion over said character: I love Raul so much, he's my favorite New Vegas companion 🫶 He has so much personality, I love that he's simultaneously needy (guilt tripping the Courier for sending him away or leaving him anywhere pffft) but also a total smart ass. AND HE'S VOICED BY DANNY TREJO, I MEAN C'MON

Rotface

Sexuality Headcanon: Definitely gay

Gender Headcanon: N/A

A ship I have with said character: N/A

A BROTP I have with said character: Once again, him and Rowan!! Rowan already knows it's smart to befriend the local vagrants, he gets a lot of useful info from Rotface and even after Rowan establishes an independent Vegas Rotface is still his eyes and ears regarding anything that happens in Freeside.

A NOTP I have with said character: N/A

A random headcanon: He's old, but still a post-war ghoul. He was a drifter and wanderer for years before finally settling in Freeside, he likes it there because it's safer than the wastes but still lively and interesting enough to just sit around and observe

General Opinion over said character: I LOVE ROTFACE he's one of my favorite more obscure npcs, I always listen to every single line of dialogue he has (which I think is like 30 lines?). This quote in particular always cracks me up:

ALSO IF YOU ASK,"Are you soliciting me?" when you first meet him he replies,"Ha ha ha, oh that's rich. You're not exactly my type, no offense." He's so funny 😭

#Thanks for the ask Maddy! :3c #asks

Syrus for the askmeme!! (if you already did him or just wanna do two, Alexis?)

MY FAVORITE LITTLE GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

favorite thing about them: he is leaps and bounds the most i have ever felt a ygo character has been relatable to me specifically. I love that he's just this neurotic mess with such a sweet character arc and this very real fear of "what if im not good at the one thing im going to school for and all of my peers are going to leave me in the dust" like...i went to art school I Know That One !!!!!!!!!!

least favorite thing about them: HES. A LITTLE BIT OF A CREEP and like it's very very funny with this little 4'6" twerp but good god they slapped so much "wow! hot girl alert !!!" mid-2000s humor on him with the dark magician thing/just how he acts around women in general. we didnt need all that.

favorite line: YOU TRADED MY BED FOR A CARD, JADEN

brOTP: his relationship with zane makes me sob and cry and throw up and explode we know this. Top Yugioh Siblings of All Time for me. Power Bond Event Hits Every Time. I also just adore his friendship with Jaden....Syrus has two whole brothers and I WILL cry about it.

OTP: listen. listen to me boy. No one is on my wavelength of College AU Syrus and Mana From Duel Monsters weirdboy4weirdgirl power couple but they're GOOD. You could take the dark magician girl thing and make something FUN out of it!!!!!!! Me and the Bad Bitch I Pulled By Being Autistic *picture of Syrus Truesdale*

nOTP: not super into jaden/syrus as a shit just because i'm more locked onto the platonic/surrogate siblings read with that, but it's fine. i don't think theres any sy ship i hate. unless you ship him with his brother in which case explode then.

random headcanon: god where do i start. lactose intolerant. has OCD and is plagued by intrusive thoughts you cant even comprehend. gets headaches after crying. likes star fox. carly rae jepsen would rock his whole fucking world. would collect hot wheels (based) and booby lady anime figures (cringe.)

unpopular opinion: HES A FUCKING GOOD CHARACTER. HES THE JOEY OF GX HES A VALUABLE PART OF THE CAST AND ONE OF LIKE MAYBE 4 GX CHARACTERS THE WRITERS KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING WITH. people either ignore him or rag on him and it SUCKS. LEAVE MY LITTLE GUY ALONE!!!!!!!

song i associate with them: Point to Prove (I Was an Ugly Kid) by Bug Hunter kind of a Sy song big.

favorite picture of them: so many. this one is especially good though.

local 16 year old thinking murderous thoughts

#THANK YOUUUUU im jugglin a couple of these so just syrus for now....love lexi too though of course #ygo posting #asks #monstroso

@legendreign has sent: 1. OTP(s) for your muse? ( For muses, all three Gold Saints! ) 2. NOTP(s) for your muse? 4. Are you oc shipping friendly? 12.Do you believe rp’ing a ship adds to character development?

Mun Related Shipping Questions! [Accepting]

1. OTP(s) for your muse?

// Funnily enough, I only have one answer for this one, bc I haven't figured that out for 2/3 boys I have here.

I've seen some really lovely fanart of Shaka/Mu, and I think I might enjoy it in a fanart/fanfiction way. Because I don't think I'll be RPing it, with the way I've set up Shaka (this isn't something I want to do with Shaka RN. That's why I've set him up as a singleship muse, nothing is ever set in stone so who knows if I'll ever change that about him.).

Aldebaran is practically a blank slate: sticks leggy out, who's going to give me a ship for him? I'm literally all ears, when it comes to ships for him.

And then we have Deathmask, and I've dug myself into the Aphrodite/DM ship hole, and I'm not leaving. NGL, I'm looking forward to write this ship. Fingers crossed for me to find an Aphrodite RPer, who'd be down to write it with me.

2. NOTP(s) for your muse?

// I've got nothing TBH? I also haven't touched with a 10 ft post any form of discourse in this fandom. Spoiler alert: I don't want to see or engage with it. So, I have no clue what would be considered a "bad" ship for my muses, that would get me crucified.

I'd imagine that anything involving the golden saints with the bronze ones, due to the ages. And I think it's a good time as ever to say that: in order for me to do anything like that in a RPing format, the characters will have to be aged up first (likely in the context of a post-series events type of situation/plot). Everything must be discussed and agreed upon, between me and the other mun. No ifs and buts, I won't do anything romantic between them, during the series' events for my own comfort.

I don't want to start any form of a shitshow of a discourse. Because, I'm way too tired of this nonsensical discussion, that never ends.

4. Are you oc shipping friendly?

// OFC I am! I'm just a bit more selective for OC/CC ships. But honestly? If the chemistry is there, and we have a solid plot going for them? They can offer me an experience that even surpasses CC/CC ships! I've had some truly awesome OC/CC ships in the past, which I still cherish to this day.

12. Do you believe rp’ing a ship adds to character development?

// Okay SO as sb who personally takes huge enjoyment out of character development, AND has had a long history of dealing with some snobbish Rpers in the past, I'll go straight to the point:

It all depends on what your end goal with it is.

Do you want to only focus in the fluff/smut/etc aspects of it? That's awesome! All the power to you.

Do you want to take this as an opportunity to expand on things through a relationship? That's equally awesome as well! All the power to you.

I'm just genuinely sick and tired of Tumblr RPC's competitive nonsense, where they think that they have to pitch one against another and try to shame RPers who have a different approach/interest to RP. No Karen, we aren't doing a full on essay through rp on tumblr dot com. You're not handing your shit ship to be analyzed, in a professional way.

All ships have the potential to serve as food for character development, but that has to come from the muns' wishes to do that to begin with. Otherwise, you're just forcing an elitist and snobbish way to RP, that's just unhealthy and nobody wins in the end. I personally take a lot of enjoyment of grabbing my main ship partners, and truly get DEEP into things on our discussions and worldbuilding.

And at the same time, I've had some good times with folks, who only wanted to do a simpler/easier to digest stuff and not think too much about the HCs/implications/etc. Does that suddenly make me into a lesser RPer? I highly doubt it.

Have y'all ever tried to look for platonic fanfiction? Spoiler alert: don't.

I'll occasionally join a fandom where I don't have a lot of ships for, or just want to read something about a platonic ship I like, and then this happens:

"is that my notp tagged??? But this is a gen fic?????"

"no romantic relationships tag... okay.... wait, why is there a ship still tagged?"

"h-how is this ship even here?? I specifically tagged this in the exclude section!"

"{ship} if you squint..? Good enough..."

#fanfiction #fanfic #ao3 fanfic #fanfics #seriously at this point I don't even bother reading for certain fandoms #Honorable mention to fics that have an incorrect age rating #13 year old me did NOT have to find a teen rated Miraculous Ladybug fic with graphic smut in the tags #like the tags were the smut #it was awful

also hikaku just bc

My NOTP for them

izuna not because its normally problematic its just like by nature of writing a fanfic with a certain dynamic for so long they're like brothers in my head (sort of like a lot of people consider hikaku their cousin to match against touka)

My BROTP for them

izuna 🥺that's his baby brother though neither have the communication skills to express it. i also think he is madara's only friend

My OTP for them

My second choice pairing for them

hashihika nation...rise....

My fluffy pairing for them

miserable cunt alert

My angsty pairing for them

go-to is madara unrequited on either side dynamic...im sorry but i think him having a thing with hashirama is simply too fucking funny

My favorite poly ship for them

hashihikamito where mito and hikaku have a humiliation thing they're duking it out over. debasing hashirama vs confronting hikaku about his vulnerabilities.

My weirdest pairing for them

i think hashihika is plenty weird.

World building meme for Shafan

B A S I C S

full name: Shafanathan Nascar Nishal

gender: "i d=on't kn=ow i just w=ork here"

sexuality: Pansexual, aromantic

pronouns: they/them/any

O T H E R S

family: Frith (lusus), Goonch Mekong and Skinny Pete (Cousins)

birthplace: A hivecluster called Slatterly in the Saponifrey Plains

job: Wandering minstrel, merchant, and general nuisance

phobias: Being tied down, literally and figuratively.

guilty pleasures: Secret fondness for ballet and opera even though they claim it's bullshit fancy highblood crap

M O R A L S

morality alignment?: dubiously neutral good to true neutral. They'll help someone out if it doesn't require going out of their way, but mostly act out of self interest. Will casually break laws if they think they can get away with it, but won't go out of their way to challenge authority.

sins - lust/greed/gluttony/sloth/pride/envy/wrath Deeply slutty, loves to eat, loves to get high and dodge work, will crow forever about their incredible speed, wiles, and skill, Silently Seething At All Times With Rage And Jealousy At Every Highblood Ever.

virtues - chastity(HA)/charity/diligence/humility/kindness/patience/justice Surprisingly generous, will always lend a hand if it doesn't cause them trouble, can sit and wait forever, and turning things around on a shithead and tricking them into dunking on themselves is their favorite passtime.

T H I S - O R - T H A T

introvert/extrovert: party animal

organized/disorganized: extremely disorganized, they live out of a bag.

close minded/open-minded: Very open minded about everything but highbloods.

calm/anxious: Both simultaneously. A deeply chill dude who deep down is just screaming all the time.

disagreeable/agreeable: very agreeable unless they decide you're a dick who needs to be taken down a peg.

cautious/reckless: can come across as reckless (and when they're drunk or hanging out with the wrong folks can become legitimately reckless) but in truth extremely cautious and always alert for the first signs of danger so they know when to bail.

patient/impatient: Very Patient. Extremely comfortable just sitting back and waiting.

outspoken/reserved: Outspoken, but only when it doesn't matter. They'll make sure you know their opinion on every pointless thing, but as soon as it comes time to speak up about something important, something that could potentially put their situation at risk, suddenly they're very quiet.

leader/follower: Prefers to follow along.

empathetic/unsympathetic: Deeply empathetic, to the point it causes them problems. They'll empathize with your situation all day, but when it comes down to you or them, they'll leave you to die and cry about it later.

optimistic/pessimistic: More of a pragmatist than anything else, but leans pessimistic, with a handful of deeply held optimistic beliefs about the inherent good of people.

traditional/modern: Definitely very traditional. They don't really mess around with technology and their passion is folklore and lowblood traditions.

hard-working/lazy: Lazy as heeeeell.

R E L A T I O N S H I P S

otp: Shafan x A Rich Highblood Sugar Daddy

ot3: Shafan x pain and suffering

brotp: Shafan x Goonch

notp: Shafan x therapy

Shafan doesn't really have any ships yet. Hit me up!! I'm looking at you!! Especially if you have villain trolls, bad dudes, scumbags and fellow hobos! Bonus points for monsters!!

Annie! I'm baaaack! For this third ask...

Tell me about Hades - specifically, Hades, Dusa, and Persephone!

Dusa

1: sexuality headcanon

She's canonically ace, which was great! I headcanon her as heteroromantic as well :D

2: otp

My girl is in a QPR with Zagreus and living her best life 😎

3: brotp

With Megaera! As I said before their friendship make sense to me. Meg's direct approach and self-confidence would likely register as safe for Dusa, especially because she'd know that Meg doesn't suffer fools lightly, so if she chooses to hang out it's because Dusa is worth it.

4: notp

I don't outright hate any ship, but there are none that call me either -- see 2.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

She has a little cubicle up in the rafters where no one else can find her if she needs a few minutes to herself. It is lovingly decorated and very cozy.

6: favorite line from this character

"Friends, for all eternity."

7: one way in which I relate to this character

How adamant she is about earning what she has when it comes to her work; her dedication is admirable.

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

Being unable to hold a long conversation with Zagreus without fleeing... I just wanna give you nectar and be your friend T-T

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Cinammon Roll in Chief at the House of Hades, it says so in the administrative chambers somewhere.

Hades

1: sexuality headcanon

I jus can't see any of the Greek gods as portrayed in Hades caring all that much about gender and sexuality as mortals understand it.

2: otp

Probably a romantic relationship with Persephone and a QPR with Nyx. But Hades/Nyx/Persephone is great, as is Nyx/Persephone with Hades as their supportive bff.

3: brotp

With Charon, on account of him being the only deity that isn't constantly trying his patience. Also, with Cerberus, because he's the bestest boy.

4: notp

Zagreus and Melinoë. I know,Greek myth didn't shy away from that at all, but the game makes a point of having Zagreus not be his own uncle AND great-uncle so... let's keep it that way xD

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

He keeps snacks on one of the drawers on his desk and waits until no one is looking to indulge. It is the worst kept secret in the house (Hypnos regularly pilfers some whenever Hades leaves)

6: favorite line from this character

"Be still. These waters... teeming with Poseidon's river denizens. That one there, before me... it's been taunting me, I think, for quite some time." <-- Inner dork alert

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Going in to work is hard sometimes xD

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

Him losing repeteadly to his son... until you unlock Extremer Measures 😵

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Probably more problematic fave than cinammon roll. He's not winning any "Father of the eon" awards,that's for certain.

Persephone

1: sexuality headcanon

Same as Hades, gender is very much not a factor when it comes to attraction (she still enjoys peeking at Achilles' pectorals from the corner of her eye, she isn't blind, thank you very much)

2: otp

Same as before, any Hades/Nyx/Persephone combination is awesome.

3: brotp

With Nyx and/or Hades if not romantic. Also, with Hypnos, because the house can really use someone who's able to lift everyone's spirits and she finds him funny.

4: notp

Again, with Zagreus or Melinoë, they are her kids after all.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Skelly was Demeter's lover and thus her father. After dying, he made a pact so he could keep watch over his godly family.

6: favorite line from this character

"My heart soars, knowing you live. Then it breaks, that our time together was so brief." ☹️

7: one way in which I relate to this character

She's getting the whole family back together or so help her--!

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

Did she and Zagreus talk or just stare at each other in awestruck silence for literal hours in some of those cutscenes??

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Has people fooled into believing she's the cinammon roll of the triad. She raises more hell than the other two combined.
