#sorry artem stans </3

[ad-hawkeye]

hello, star anon here! life was kind and gave me a bit of a break so i finally finished my wip. i'm not apparently allowed to embed any links in the ask box, but it's up on ao3 with the title, "How Long Will I Love You? As Long as Stars are Above You (Longer if I Can)". i tried very hard to capture the game's style and artem's manner of speaking, but i deviated a bit from the former. still, i hope all the artem stans enjoy 😅 -🌟

HI. HI. HI. HELLO, HI! AAAAA THIS LITERALLY MADE MY FRIDAY NIGHT I AM NOT EVEN JOKING. OOOOH MY GOD OKAY, i am so sorry for being a day or so late, i purposely set this fic aside as a selfish reward for when i was off work and could get a nice drink to read it with and holy SHIT am i getting this whole thing tattooed to my forehead HAHAH

i am not exaggerating in the slightest when i say this fic literally made me feel Lighter. i also had to comment on all of it (that is all below i have so many thoughts and love and only good things to say) and i will be dropping a comment on ao3 itself very soon hehe

for anyone interested, the fic is here! it's a rewrite of artem's second anniversary card + eventual proposal! full recommendation to any artem stan out there. READ THIS! NOW!

without further ado... my screaming.

the bouquet toss is hilariously adorable i LOVE it!!! celestine fucking BOOKING that thing at him HAHAH

im insanely impressed at how well this fic manages to take what was in the second anniversary card (celestine talking to mc about marriage, the toss, the ride home in the taxi, etc) and just. wow. improve it. i feel like this is such a breath of fresh air

mc saying she wants to wait until she at least passes her exam and avoid claims of nepotism, yes ma’am!!!!!!!!!!! this would be such a dream scenario if it happened in tot omg. the reason why artem’s second bday card was a liiittle disappointing to me was because they brought up the issue of possible rumors and scandals with their relationship. and then just. never resolve it. then have them get ENGAGED a card later!! i wish hoyo wasn’t afraid to address this, your fic is the perf solution imo and another reason why i wished we got a later artemrosa proposal

THE MENTION OF MC NOT BEING READY TO HAVE DINNER WITH ARTEM’S PARENTS AHAHA OMG I LOVE IT!! deliciously petty in calling out the contradictory writing in artem's cards bless you for that

MENTION OF NEIL. oh my GOD i feel like 90% of artem’s cards just forget about this man’s existence and it’s a shame! you did him justice!!! i want him to talk to mc again and see all that’s happened ;_;

THE BAD GUY DUH JOKE REFERENCE SHUT UP HAHAHA personal story 3 was literally artem at his most iconic and i MEAN this

about time…. im gonna sob, like literally. dude this fic is literally healing me as i read it, it’s like a love letter to all of artem’s cards, stories, and events. and . AA

THEM JOKING ABOUT THE AMUSEMENT PARK MAKE OUT SESSION PLEASE THAT’S SO FUNNY

the whole conversation with celestine and artem about proposing is my favorite thing ever. in the second anni card, i thought artem was so oddly cold to her (which goes against previous cards and reads like someone seeing artem’s ‘stop teasing me now’ act back in the early timeline as genuinely mean disinterest????) so this is like. healing. crops watered. “thank you for being my friend” is going to make me sob holy shit.

random but i adore the idea of artem w a therapist. he seems like a guy who’d benefit from that. i say this with love.

HELP HIM TALKING TO HIS FISH. FAV

god the scene with his mother :(((( AAAA the apology and and and and ;_;

keeping the one good thing from the second anniversary card: artem avoiding mc's gaze for weeks before proposing. excellent. thank you

gasp. THE ORCHARD. YOU GENIUS. HOW DID I NOT EVEN THINK OF THAT. THEY NEVER DID RETURN TO THE ORCHARD IN CANON DID THEY.

god this proposal got me sniffling.. the about time reference… the mention of being partners….. dude i’m gonna sob ;_; literally this is the timeline i wish we got, im just gonna be on hardcore copium and accept this as my canon proposal. okay? okay.

PRACTICE FOR SIGNING THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE MC YES

mc yanking artem too hard and him yelping is making me shit that’s the funniest thing i’ve read all week LMAO

HELP THE LIFTING BEING LEARNED FROM AN ONLINE ARTICLE. YOU GET IT!!! YOU UNDERSTAND HIM!!

oh my gosh this whole end section is so wehhh ;_;;;; sweet and in character and with just the right amount of steam and ambiguity! ;p

CELESTINE GIVING THEM BOTH OFF HAHAHA THE PERFECT END

oh my god ok. if this didn't let you know how much i thoroughly enjoyed myself, let me state it here now. thank you SO much for linking this to me!!! oh my god i feel so free?????? EVERYONE READ THIS NOW

#tears of themis #artem wing #adding these tags so everyone sees this and goes to read it im being entirely serious #brb gonna stare at this and dream of what could have been for the next week #asks #anon

FIRST OF ALL WE GOT THE PUPPY OF THE GROUP who can break your bones btw MY BB BOI LUKEEE PEARCE😍⁉️ ppl will hate me for this but when i first got into tot, he's my least fav bc i thought he's gonna be boring since he's the usual childhood friend and the childhood friend is my least favorite in every otome game👉👈 BUT I WAS WRONG VERY VERY WRONG I AM SOREY LUKE STANS I ALREADY REPENTED🤧🤧 luke is actually the one i ship with the mc since their chemistry is just top tier🤨🤨⁉️⁉️ and friends to lover btw😍😍 his second birthday card actually changed my life. i became his no. 1 fan. my life is now better. i bow down to him and wish for his lifespan to increase /hj NAURR THAT CARD IS JUST SOOO AND MC IS SO SEXY THERE⁉️⁉️ both of them are sexy🙄⁉️ but anyway, i luv this cutie sm and he's so sweet🤧🤧 9/10, minus 0.5 bc he only have 3 years left /j

THEN MARIUS VON HAGEN🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️ ugh this kid🙄 (affectionate btw) tbh i didn't like him that much at first too but since i always get his card i somehow had a marius phase when i started🤨⁉️ i have a love-hate relationship with him /j HES SUCH A TEASE OML I SOMETIMES JUST WANT TO SHUT HIS MOUTH😭😭 and he's younger than us so i refuse to be shy bc of a kid who's 3 years younger than mc🤨(affectionate again) nah but i wont forget when strawberry shortcake anon told me that i act like him🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️ that's an insult to me to be told that i act like that kid QOKAJSKSJS JK I WILL STOP THE MARIUS SLANDER NOW BEFORE THE SIMPS COME FOR MY NECK😰😰 i remember this one time he brought mc a flat shoes(?) bc he noticed that she's been wearing her heels all day and her feet is already hurting, tho she never said anything but he still noticed😔😔 i might make fun of this dude but he's really sweet🙁🙁. 8/10, minus one since i can't with his teases and another minus one since he marius von hagen /j IM SORRY I JUST LOVE MAKING FUN OF HIM😭😭 probably bc im older than him🤨

OFCOURSE I WON'T FORGET ABT VYN RICHTER THE LOML (before?) okay alot of ppl said that he's a red flag bc he's a manipulator but like do i look like i care abt that?? /hj. he's the first one who caught my eye among the four btw😍😍 idk why but there's something abt white/gray haired characters that always got me like ??? and one of the things that made me attracted to him more is bc (spoiler ahead?) he's somewhat a noble/aristocrat since his father is basically a duke from the kingdom of svart😍😍 IDK WHY AGAIN but im really into royalty😩😩 like idk why i just love royalty since for one i want to experience a lavish and elegant lifestyle, living in a castle, dancing in the ballroom (this is the effect of reading too much historical manhwa i swear) BUT ANYWAY i think he's the most hated ml among the four since they say he's a red flag but he's really sweet and caring though (for me atleast okay?) im really attached to him bc i think i need someone like him. he's a psychologist/psychiatrist 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️ (in conclusion i need him bc of free therapy) OWJKSJS LMAOO BUT ANYWAY i feel like he can and will read me well and that's what i need. so if you please mr. vilhem richard albert de haspran🧎‍♀️💍 (HIS REAL NAME IS SUCH A *CHEF'S KISS*) there's more for me to talk abt him but i will stop here since its already long😰😰. 11/10, a literal perfection but has a crack on some sides (the said red flag by ppl🙄)

AND PLEASE WELCOME THE ONE AND ONLY ARTEM WING THE MAN IN EVERY MAN'S PRAYER🙏🙏🙏 oml if vyn is someone i need then artem is the one i need and WANT (im sorry vyn, artem just hits different these days) he is literally a malewife and house husband.

[celamoon]

hey!

could I get a tears of themis angst??? I rlly loved your previous one! maybe something like cheating hcs with the boys. ty, take care and stay safe💓

Hi love! Ty for the request

After this I'll be uploading a request rules page <3

NOW ONTO THE HEADCANONS!! (That I genuinely don't like that much bc I suck ass at writing cheating in general)

Warnings: Cheating!! also crack I'm sorry I'll make it up with another angst fic if you want </3

Artem

So as you watch me struggle to come up with headcanons bc I can't see some of these men cheating

I think Artem wouldn't cheat on you without telling you

idk I feel like he'd tell you.

"I'm growing feelings for another woman let's break up" sort of beat

LIKE SIR??? THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME BUT THAT DOESN'T HURT ANY LESS???

I just have a feeling he'd respect you

and who he'd cheat on you with?

A client? An old friend? Some random chick at a night club? Ok that last one's a stretch

He probably won't have an affair unless he's forced to or drugged and drunk over his head

Or maybe he had an affair to let off stress and told you

"I had an affair" SIR??? THANKS FOR BEING HONEST?? BUT THAT HURTS???

And he lets you decide what to do bc he respects you

This man? I honestly don't think he's going to have an affair behind your back unless he's desperate

But then again why tf is he having an affair if he wants to stay with you??

Or he falls out of love with you and finds someone else

ok that one hurt even more

He probably doesn't have you as his assistant after that either

But whether he cheats on you or not, I feel like he wouldn't cheat physically, it would be like "YOU DIDN'T CHEAT BUT YOU'RE STILL A TRAITOR" type beat

Luke (I got @keiji0917 help on this bc she's a full time Luke stan and good at angst)

I think he would cheat on you with someone he's familiar with

maybe another friend he grew up with? MC?? Idk I'd cheat on him with MC too so ✌️

I feel like if Luke genuinely cheats on you it'll be like a temporary affair

bc I can see him staying long term with someone he actually loves but for some reason I can also picture him cheating behind your back

Maybe for the thrill? But then Luke's personal story uh... IT HURT HURT MAN I DON'T THINK HE'D- wait shit

OK SO IN THE CASE THIS MAN DOES CHEAT ON YOU

He'd probably stop wearing the key around his neck

Stop taking photos of only you

And you'd probably stop being referred to as his Watson

This man might've had a full fledged affair and changed his identity and shit if he really loved that other person more than you

Oh and you might catch him singing twinkle twinkle little star to the other person on the phone-

Bestie really handed me pain with these head canons

Vyn

OK OK SO I AM A VYN STAN SO I HAVE THOUGHTS

I'm guessing that Vyn's dad gave him daddy issues by having an affair with a diff woman every other week so I can't see him cheating on you unless it's a coping mechanism

OR HE'D CHEAT BC HE FOUND SOMEONE MORE INTERESTING THAN YOU

OR MORE SMART

Idk while I feel like he's mentally stable enough to be honest with his feelings

I also think he'd gaslight the hell out of you if you accused him of having an affair

like "You have such little trust in me"

BESTIE YOU'RE HAVING AN AFFAIR WDYM YOU HAVE SUCH LITTLE TRUST IN ME????

BESTIE???

Like I think he's capable of having a full fledged affair behind your back and you probably won't ever find out bc he's just that careful

or he let you find out on purpose

Like I'm glad you're aware that you're hot but stop cheating on me before I make your heart break in another fic

Marius

MANS IS RICH CASH MONEY OK??? HE'S RICH

Ok some rich men cheat and some don't

just take a look at all the billionaires out there (eHem jEFF BEZOS)

So while I trust that Marius is capable of staying loyal long term

I also think that this man if he goes down the wrong path would have a mistress maybe even more than one

He's rich enough for one and he's hot enough for one too

I'd smack him if he tried that shit on me but that's child abuse so

I can also see Marius as someone who might have flings?

Or he like fucks a chick in the back alley and then leaves and never talks to them again

Marius stans I am not slandering your man btw

if Marius does cheat he'll probably just start referring to you by first name instead of Jiejie or Onee-san

Mans prolly stops hiring you as his attorney too

bestie i’m begging you please write that artem karaoke hc/fic it would be so endearing

artem karaoke hcs  <3

okay first of all : the power you probably hold to convince senior attorney, artem wing, to karaoke...immeasurable ! anyways, this man was lowkey nervous the entirety of the work day knowing that you’d be going to karaoke at night.

lets you take the first few songs because he needs to build up the courage -- and maybe down a few drinks -- to actually join in on a duet or maybe even dedicate a song just for you. 

while he’s watching you, artem just has full-blown *heart eyes* like this man is looking at you with so much affection and endearment it would have made your heart melt if you weren’t too busy belting it out. he may or may not have taken his phone out a few times to not so secretly take a few photos and videos.

eventually you get tired of him just watching you so you grab him by the hands and shove the microphone in his face. and of course, this sweetheart is just too stunned to sing...but when he does...wow.

artem can most definitely carry a tune, it’s just that his knowledge of the pop music canon may not exactly be the best. so he’s squinting at the screen to read the lyrics and trying to make sure that he’s not making a complete fool of himself. 

he’s a little stiff at first so just grab him by the shoulders and shake all the nervousness out of him. it’ll make his face bright red but it gets him to loosen up quite a bit. he’s singing and even dancing around a little to try and match your energy.

this is really just for me but imagine this tall dork with the first two buttons of his top undone, his tie discarded somewhere in the karaoke room but his coat is neatly folded on a chair, hair disheveled, and face pink from alcohol singing a cheesy, upbeat love song like one direction’s one thing or no control or something.

but the end of night, artem actually dedicates a really sweet song to you. and you could tell in the way he looked at you that he means every single word he’s singing. 

...bonus !  nxx coming with you guys to karaoke >:)

bold of you to assume that the gen z king, marius von hagen, doesn’t have every single taylor swift song memorized like the back of his hand. like you can’t tell me that he’s not vibing the fuck out to shake it off and you belong with me. he’s not even singing, he’s practically screaming the lyrics. but what can he say? miss taylor just has that effect on him. i'm sorry to your ears, but nothing will ever make you laugh harder.

and of course chaotic childhood besties, luke pearce and miss rosa, have an entire karaoke routine down. they have everything from line distribution to well thought out choreography. catch them giving out a show stopping performance of bye bye bye, i want it that way, hit me baby one more time, and wannabe. we stan.

you’d think that owner of the group’s one functioning brain cell, vyn richter, would be pretty chill and just watch the chaos unfold? well, yes and no. while everyone’s having fun with their cutesy lil pop songs, he’s pulling out the hozier and mitski and just screams into the mic. mans needs to let off some steam and i don’t blame him </3

oops sorry this took a while >_< it got buried in quite a few request asks so i wasn’t able to get around to it soon enough </3 but i do hope you still like these despite the wait :) hope you’re doing well and taking care of yourself <3

SHARED APARTMENT — TOT

sharing an apartment with the tot boys!

warnings: obvious vyn favouritism i am so sorry🙁 vyn stans unite ig<3

characters included: vyn, luke, artem, and marius (in that order)

note: my art teacher told me to draw hairy balls /srs 😕

v. richter

— vyn is a very pleasant roommate! he constantly respects your personal space and boundaries.

— you two would split the chores around the apartment, but vyn would be very understanding if you couldn’t complete a chore since you were busy. he’d probably take it into his own hands to do it himself and then prepare a cup of tea for you to have when you aren’t busy.

— he’ll often bake and cook, offering you to join him. though, more often than not you end up accidentally messing up due to the rather complicated instructions of what he’s trying to replicate. he wouldn’t be mad though! he’d just chuckle and fix it the best he can, which usually ends up really tasty.

— the kind of roommate who seemingly has your entire schedule memorized, whether it’s intentional or not. if you’ve slept in, he’ll wake you up because he knows you have to be off to work in the morning. if you’ve gotten home earlier than expected, he’ll question what happened. if you’re spending more time in the washroom than usual, he’ll knock on the door and ask if you’re alright. he’s very observant in that way.

— the same goes for your mental state. it’s both a curse and a blessing to have a psychologist as your roommate. on the bright side, free therapy sessions every day. he notices how you’re feeling before you even know how you’re feeling. but on the downside, he can sometimes analyze you and bring out that psychologist side when it’s not needed.

— if you’re a messy person, vyn would definitely be a little passive aggressive when he sees you dirtying your common areas. he doesn’t care if your bedroom isn’t clean though, or at least that’s what he says but it isn’t exactly true. he would offer to clean it for you when he had the time but he feels that would be overstepping your boundaries so he’d simply avert his eyes while walking past your room.

— not big on take out because again, he’ll be cooking and baking a lot. when making a fancier dinner, he will tell you to wear something nice then prepare the table neatly so you two could have a sophisticated dinner together! though, that doesn’t happen often, his work still takes up a large portion of his time.

l. pearce

— whenever he goes out, he’s the type of roommate to bring something back for you! even if he doesn’t go anywhere with any food or drinks, he’ll stop by a convenience store and pick something up for you whether you asked for it or not. there are times you end up with a pile of food—mainly sweet things, in your room since he kept bringing things back but you weren’t able to eat it all.

— despite this, he also will occasionally cook and when he does it’s really good! he cooks traditional meals and meals that a suburban dad would cook during the summer. there is no in between. either way, they both taste immaculate. you will always have leftovers from his meals since he eats so much and expects you to always have like three plates.

— knocking? he forgets that most of the time and settles for shouting your name then running down the hallway so you can hear his footsteps approach. you only really have a few seconds to spare before he flings the door open to show you something cool or asks you to help him with whatever. he doesn’t even realize how invades your privacy. in turn, he’s fine with you just barging into his room. he has his limits with the washroom, of course. he would definitely knock before entering if you pointed out how you felt your privacy had been breached.

— he would want a pet but knows very well the apartment complex doesn’t allow pets. even so, that wouldn’t stop him from randomly bringing in a .. “pet” then it’s just some pigeon who stole his food and he ended up bonding with it so he decided to take it home.

— he is a morning person and wakes up at ungodly hours, ready to start the day. he would try to be as quiet as possible during this time! he’d even leave most of the lights off in fear that the light would sleep under your door and obstruct your sleeping. if you preferred some lights stay on outside of your room, he would definitely leave them on.

a. wing

— he wakes up early and doesn’t come home until late at night if he comes home at all. it’s slightly worrying. so, due to his stressful and time consuming job, you’ve taken it upon yourself to do most of the chores. though, when artem has time off he refuses to let you do any, in order to pay you back.

— when he’s able to, he cooks! he also likes to eat with you, he enjoys talking to you about certain cases (that he can talk about) and likes to hear your thoughts on them, even if they’re silly. he wouldn’t do all the talking though, he’d would absolutely want to hear about your day. he would probably be the most interested in hearing about your family and friends too. he would mentally take note of all their names in case they came to visit.

— countless times he’s fallen asleep on the couch, being unable to make it to his room after a long day. usually some documents will be scattered against the table. he’s grateful in the morning when he wakes up to a blanket around him and once tight tie having been loosened. along with that, his documents neatly organized on top of each other in the order they were spread out in. he’d bring back something he saw in a shop window on his way to work since he doesn’t know how else to express his gratitude.

— greatly respects your privacy, will always knock more than once, and won’t ever pry into personal issues. if he picked up your mail along with his, he would put your mail under his so he couldn’t even dare see where the letter was from. majority of the time it’s just your phone provider.

m. von hagen

— if you work a stressful long day job, then i wouldn’t recommend rooming with marius! though he is respectful, he pulls a fair share of pranks that would definitely not help with your stress. his pranks are genuinely funny! being roommates with marius can only be described in one word: fun.

— obviously you both have your own things to do, but when you’re free he’ll force you to watch every twilight movie with him in one night. he was so team edward that he would get unironically pissed when bella was with anybody else. don’t like edward or pretend not to in order to spite him? he’s throwing you out of the apartment and locking the door as you can hear twilight continue on inside.

— he often stays up at night and is unintentionally loud. sometimes he’ll accidentally drop something or get too loud when immersed in a tv show but would apologize profusely the next day. though, when he does go to sleep early, it’s really early, like around nine or eight but once he’s out, he’s out until the morning.

— frequently leaves without telling you in person but will shoot you a text. he’s usually in a time crunch so don’t be too hard on him for being unable to tell you before he goes. he would bring something back, whether it would be a small thing he found, some kind of flower or food, he’s got you covered!

— contrary to popular belief, he wouldn’t be that messy. he wouldn’t care for what his bedroom looked like but would understand that places like the living room and kitchen are shared spaces so he should do his best not to cause too much of a messy and will continuously pick up after himself. still, his room never even gets very messy. he’ll also help with chores and would never let you do any of his. even if he was busy, he’d get it done. he believes that it would be unfair to you.

[ad-hawkeye]

HI HELLO MY OTOME BLOG IS A SIDEBLOG SO I AM COMING IN ANON FORM ALSO I HAVEN'T REACHED OUT BEFORE HI!!! THE ARTEM IS ACE HEADCANONS ARE MY EVERYTHING. MY ASEXUAL AND ARTEM STAN ASS LOVES EVERY SECOND OF THIS.

Fr I thought I never thought too hard ab why I headcanon him as ace bc I headcanon almost every character I like as ace (bc I can) but maybe that's why I was so attracted to Artem when I started the game? Like maybe that's why I became such a hardcore stan?

Because the vibes are SO THERE. I say this as a professional ace-spec vibe reader. You also mentioned in the tags of one of the posts that you headcanon him as grey romantic AND I ABSOLUTELY AGREE THE SIGNS AND THE VIBES ARE ALL THERE I LOVE THIS HEADCANON.

I think the most endearing thing for the aces is that he's always just so respectful and sweet and awkward and not pushy at all, as previously stated by other posts. I like to read stories or play otome games and rewrite scenes in my mind to take out any pushiness or sexual implications bc it makes me uncomfy and with Artem I don't have to rewrite it in my mind because he's already ideal. Like he is absolutely the kind of guy to be the most respectful and accepting ever about his partner being ace-spec even if he isn't. And that is so refreshing compared to almost every other otome guy I've read (and I've played a GOOD amount of otome games) where if I were to make a "reasons blank wouldn't date me" thing they would all be "I'm asexual and he's horny" so maybe the reason we gravitate towards Artem is the feeling that he would truly accept us? I don't even self insert in otome games but whenever there's sexual implication there's still that like, painful moment of realizing that the world at large isn't made for a-specs I guess??? And I've never not once had that with Artem. Sorry if that got too deep💀

ALSO SORRY THIS IS SO LONG I'M A HUGE FAN OF YOUR CONTENT AS AN ARTEM STAN THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO❤️❤️❤️

!!! HI ANON!!! 💖 oh my gosh we are kindred spirits right down to our otome blogs being our side blogs </3 which. my apologies to anyone reading this for not following back or sending asks. i promise the limitations of a side blog are my sole reason!!

but oh my god YES, i am totally the same with ace headcanons. it isn’t even intentional! it’s just the way i think. i think i was initially drawn to artem because in the first few main story chaps he doesn’t actually do much besides invite her to join nxx and then stand there looking at her awkwardly sometimes.

his personal story locked me in with the advice book and introduction to his soft side. i do have a slight bias for tot’s personal stories and cards over the main story, though, simply bc the main story (by design) can’t “pick a side”, tends to not get mentioned in other stories, and sometimes feels like it was written by a different writing team?

regardless, i’m so happy to hear you agree on the gray-romantic take!!!! i specifically picked gray-romantic over demiromantic because while this is the first time he’s been romantically attracted to someone, he fell for her before there was any notable emotional connection. mc would fit the demi label a bit better me thinks hehe.

as for artem and the ace crack they stashed inside of him, you make really, REALLY good points here. holy shit, actually. i think you nailed it. i never realized JUST how often other otome games made me feel uncomfortable or left feeling like i was ‘different’. same goes for real life, i suppose. hasn’t happened while reading artem’s route though. even the cards with shameless.. er, fan service. they tend to, from what i’ve seen, play artem as the “whatever you want/whatever makes you comfortable” kind of guy, so your point holds really strong.

getting fully personal here, but i think about this a lot. tot is a popular otome game and even though there would be like. rioting in the streets if one of the boys wasn’t sexually attracted to the mc (which in itself is another depressing reminder of how different i am), it doesn’t really change the already released stories that we love. and it ultimately doesn’t matter what artem winds up being - bc like you said, ace vibes aside, artem being “respectful and accepting about his partner being ace-spec even if he isn’t” is genuinely just. such an accurate take. i can’t believe i haven’t thought of it from this perspective before. you’re so right. 

even on the flip side. if he was ace i could see him communicating with a non-ace partner about that whole situation and i just. man. i’ve called artem the antithesis to your typical otome boy as a joke before, and you know. maybe i was onto something, maybe this was the true ace crack all along HAHA.

OH MY GOSH DON’T APOLOGIZE AT ALL!!!! this was such a good read and it makes me so happy to know i’m not the only one in fandom like this 😭 😭 like i know i said this before, but i never actually intended on mentioning this hc bc i was unsure of how people would respond, especially since we all like this game for different reasons and i wanted to respect that, so i’m genuinely like. really really moved and happy HAHA!! i swear i’m gonna cry or something ;; 

AND AAA now you’re gonna REALLY make me cry, thank you for the kind words!!! i’m so happy people like my silly little rambles :’’] sincerely hope you have a wonderful day, anon!!! def feel free to message me anytime !! 💖💖💖
