#OTP Im Gonna Betray My Brother
iliacium · 26 days
Note
I would KILL for more XPapyrus and Cross, my fontcest OTP, actually, haha. i love their dynamic, especially with how strained their relationship feels. sometimes the best way to let off steam is a kiss or a hug or who knows what, you know? I like seeing their relationship as less than healthy, more of a coping mechanism to distract from everything around them.
the feeling that they can't trust anyone so might as well trust eachother. they're brothers right? that has to mean SOMETHING...
they have dreams of pursuing a healthier path, but this is all they have, it's something. and they'll take it. the need for affection and love is killer.
- 🕊⭐️
(sorry for the rambles haha, hope it's ok)
im so glad there r so many xcest enjoyers........ u share my vision so hard 🥺🥺 i absolutely adore the strain of their relationship too and it's honestly the only thing keeping me invested in underv/erse.... like don't get me wrong i love the multiverse but that series is alllll abt the xtaIe crew too me!!! and i'm on edge just wondering what will happen when xpap and cross finally meet after soooo long.... OUGHHGGHH </333
like their parting gift was literally xpap trying to pacify his brother, only for him to cut him to pieces in return. i'm looking forward to their reunion and see their mutual grudges. the guilt + regret. and i already know it's gonna be sooooo heartwrenching <- (delusional)
which is why every piece of canon art i see where they are affectionate with each other destroys me inside and out. like ur take on them is soso based omg they would ESPECIALLY during xtaIe itself. have you SEEN how much xpap fights for cross in 21 years. and secret entries gaster says he knows how tight knit they always were just like their classic versions (so much so that they'd be able to raise each other by themselves but he still felt obligated to raise them (WHICH IS. A WHOLE OTHER THING.))
so they would absolutely decieve themselves into believing that even through the hell gaster put them thru they still yearn to be together. because they think it's the only sense of normalcy left after their universe was shattered and discarded, a sans and a pap. i hope xpap feels obligated to betray xgaster so he could be with cross. it's the only kind of happiness left he can ever hope to achieve. and i hope cross feels the most guilt for slaying his own brother for trying to help him.
so can u just imagine. post xtaIe, the sheer need for them to be together again. but they just can't. it's gonna take so much for their relationship to heal and it probably will never resemble what it was meant to be again but they can TRY
anyway. i'll probably get back to drawing them after the semester ends ( ^ω^ ) in the meantime enjoy this gif from uvstudios

Grif
For the character ask! Sorry this took me a while, I can't copy and paste on mobile, so I waited till I got on desktop tumblr! Thank you so much for asking about him, I could go on forever lol so this is gonna be fucking LONG. Please, anyone, feel free to ask about any other character, too. These are fun.
Why I like them: Grif is, for lack of a better word, complex. On one hand, it's like, okay he's just a funny comedy character. But on the other hand, he's like every all of my favorite archetypes of a character. He's crafty but stupid, selfish but selfless, antisocial but friendly, the straight man but the dramatic guy, he's snarky but oddly caring: the reluctant hero. It's kind of paradoxical, and I feel like not only do I relate to him, but I just really enjoy him overall. Whether it's because he's a good brother, being a complete dickbag because he doesn't know how to handle emotions, being a complete cynic on the battlefield, or being hyperactive and snappy, it's just... ah. He. Everything in his life just happens, and he has to deal with it, and yeah he'll kick and pout and probably eat everything but in the end, he's gonna choose his family and he cares deeply... even when he can't really show it.
Why I don’t: I see this a lot in myself too - the fact that he's impulsive and inherently negative when he speaks specifically. his words don't match his actions. He often doesn't hesitate when it comes to making negative comments because they are easier than saying something nice, but what his intentions are are completely different. in other words, he's a jerk, lol. Especially in season 15. I know people felt bad for him because he was partially right and went insane on Iris, but he lowkey deserved it. He said he hated his friends, and even his closest friend. He didn't want to admit that he was a good person just because he didn't want to help. yeah, it was valid, but he needs to learn how to make a case without fucking everyone emotionally and being so clammed up. >:/ sometimes it feels like he regresses in character, as much as he's matured. i guess that's realistic and just the writers making comedy, but also the way he handles Doc specifically irks me. so mean spirited for no reason, as funny as it is.
Favorite episode (scene if movie): OH MY GOD, okay, literally, every single episode with Grif starring as a main is fucking gold. I think for this I'm going to say, uh, This One Goes to Eleven. Even though it's not Grif-centric, it's the episode that's my favorite overall because it introduced me to RvB and made me like Grif right away, simply because he was attacked so much and I felt so bad for him. Another great one that sticks out right now in my sleep deprived state, is Grif does a Rescue. Augh. And the episode where Grif and Simmons get stuck underground in the caves.
Favorite season/movie: Season 8 (shotgun!!!, hyperactive ai grif), Season 11 (hanging in the canyon with simmons), Season 4 (the tank and blue simmons w/ grif), Season 5/6 (kai and rat's nest), Season 12/13 (the recruits, grif building the snowmen), Season 14 (backstory with simmons, Room Zero), Season 15 (you know why)
Favorite line: OK, don't make me choose. There are SO many that are good!!! I think one of my most favorite things that Grif says is "yoink!" It's so adorable! I also really enjoy "BLUEEE TEAAAAM SUCKKKKKS" with his epsilon double, the whole "invisible nap" scene, "what are we, on a date?"/"I can tell you what we weren't doing", "no one made me, I made me", "WERE GONNA FUCKING DIE" when charging at the meta, "that's a figure of speech?" [when carolina says im so hungry i could eat a horse is a figure of speech], "dexta grif he who shall not be messed with!"... I'm sure I'm missing a lot, he has SO many snarky funny lines, but these are some off the top of my head.
Favorite outfit: LOL THIS IS SUCH A FUNNY QUESTION BECAUSE THIS IS RVB. HAHAHA. Uh. Season 6 probably. I just like Halo 3 Graphics. Also s14 Room Zero because THEY DREW HIM FAT CANONICALLY. THANK YOU.
OTP: I'm with the majority of people in the fandom who like Grimmons! I think Grimmons is the only ship that I really vocally ship with my whole heart besides OC ships. I just very much enjoy their dynamic -- it's very angsty, dialogue full, intimate yet so unspoken. It's just a really good pair to write about and see the development of through canon. And, not to mention... season 15... hrk...
Brotp: I really REALLY want grif/tucker, grif/church, grif/locus BROTP. SO SO SO BAD. I've always seen grif and tucker as bros, grif and church are HILARIOUS together and we were ROBBED of more time together, and grif and locus are fucking adorable.
Head Canon: I have a lot of headcanons about Grif, but one of my favorite ones is that he has half-lidded eyes, like he's always sleepy. I also headcanon him as bisexual, though I think that is a popular headcanon!
Unpopular opinion: I dunno if I have super unpopular opinions about Grif... maybe that I think that his labryinth wasn't as bad as it seems at first? A lot of people seemed to think that though, yknow. Like if you look deeply into it, it's actually kinda fucked. But I feel like we should have gotten the Hawaii scene anyways. Hm. I also didn't like how they altered the canon so that Grif wasn't drafted. I think it does add something to his char that he chose to go, but I always really liked the aspect that Grif didn't control that, and yet he still did this on purpose. He was good on purpose.
A wish: A badass Grif carchase scene for the love of FUCK. We need to have him drive more stuff !!!!!!!!
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Have him betray the reds -- i think every other red has betrayed the team at some point. please god for the love of god dont do this to grif. it really adds and says something about his character that he doesn't ever betray his team.
5 words to best describe them: (eye roll) eh. fuck it.
My nickname for them: this isn't really my nickname, since I mostly just call him grif -- but 'gif'. It's cute, and my QPP came up with it! I also really like dex. augh

Nanatsu no taizai ✌️
oh hehehhe 
001 Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:
Favorite character: Elizabeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Least Favorite character: Vivan (she’s just really disgustinggggggggggggggg) I thought she was wayyyy older than Gil
and maybe Merlin (I just hate her in the cath arc)
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): MELIZABETH!!!!!!,  hendrickson x dreyfus, kiane, gulia x jericho aandddd 
Diane x Howzer (okay I recently shipped them because of that damn game like have you not seen Diane’s ult with him?? SO FREAKING CUTE)
jesus christ most of my top ships are not canon sksks  (i do ship all the canon ships too tho!!)
Character I find most attractive: for male is Meliodas Hendrickson (it was actually BAN. I was head over heels for him back in 2014)
for female is… haha obvi elizabeth,,I tend to like girls who people think are weak but they are actually hella strong-
Character I would marry: ahahahahaha Too many to list >.
As much as I want to say meliodas or eli- I have to go for Ban,, LIKE he can cook and like he’s a perfect husband!!!
Character I would be best friends with: Slader (he gives good advices and sooo caring T0T)
a random thought: How did King and Diane did the do? (i was actaully talking abt this with a friend of mine and I cant stop thinking abt something so horrid I dont want to say it out loud.)
An unpopular opinion: I actually liked Elizabeth’s uneven bangs-
My Canon OTP: Melizabeth
My Non-canon OTP: oh no there’s too many BUT Diane and Howzer
Most Badass Character: Jericho (she knows Ban would never love her like Elaine  but that didnt stop her from helping both of them- and she wanted to be there when Elaine was gonna give birth?? And she felt so guilty when her brother DIED, she was so angry with herself but when she realised she has his power, she wants to be better than him and like lets just say she’s really underappreciated X0)
Most Epic Villain: oh uh, Estarossa. Like DAMN Hendrickson is close but Estarossa is just woof!
Pairing I am not a fan of: Merlin and Arthur D:
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Merlin (tbh I was okay with her and before knowing she had a crush on meliodas, I actually thought she could have been a cute family with melizabeth ,,) But ahaha that damn cath was the WORST. Ik its for setting up the sequel and stuff but JESUS everyone basically forgives her???? and let her slip like ???????? She reactivated Eli’s curse just to make Meliodas kill the Demon King and to REVIVE CHAOS. And let’s not forget that she put just placed chaos in Arthur without his permission- And she didn’t even say sorry. I actually wanted meliodas to not forgive her or like show how angry he is with her. That was the most dirty move. And omg Ik Eli is kind and would never be angry at someone but I lowkey wanted her to feel hurt and betrayed. Yes, the sins also did crazy measurements but they apologised and actually feel sooo bad about their actions. and isn’t it merlin’s fault for killing off Escanor-
Favourite Friendship: Ban and Meliodas!!!!!! bro I want a best friend like that-
Character I most identify with: oof who’s the most asshole character but actually cares about everyone?  I guess Meliodas?? I tend have a lot of secrets and I don’t usually show whats bothering me,,, 
Character I wish I could be: Elizabeth- she’s so perfect I want to be like her- (and im waiting waiting to find my meliodas)

Finn Babie Shelby for the character thing ✌
How I feel about this character
i mean,,,, i love him. i love his character development (NOT season 5 eww) and i love his babieness
All the people I ship romantically with this character
no one deserves him,,, but bonnie and then isiah 
My non-romantic OTP for this character
also isiah, and also johns relationship with finn was so good :’(
My unpopular opinion about this character
He is the best shelby brother
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
well ignoring season 5 finn i really think that they could have turned the encounter with the prostitute into a exploration of his sexuality, both because i want that so bad, but also they havent explored that side of 20s life yet in the show (i dont count the reporter)
and the including season 5 finn: i hope he purposely betrayed tommy. like yes i wanted them to kill mosley (but because he is a real person i know they couldnt) but i NEED him to be like “im the ‘man who is 2 steps aead of you’ but you would never know becasue you neglected me and pushed me down for my whole life. so see ya im gonna go chill with michael and get some actual power and recognition for once ✌️”

salty ask meme answers
ok im awake now hehe so here’s all my answers for that ask meme
WARNING FOR SPOILERS IN, LIKE, EVERY DANGAN GAME PROBABLY
@adoggodude asks:  5, 7, 14, 16, 20
5: Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
yes. none i can think of for danganronpa, but .... mch/anzo....... but tbh, it was also partially me realizing it’s such a boring ship and they’re only paired because they’re both hot
7:  Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?
see above - nah i’m kidding i don’t hate it that much. a lot of animes i used to like have lost my favor because of things i’ve realized as i got older, mostly pedophilia. namely kill la kill i used to adore until i realized how many characters were underage. i used to really like attack on titan too but the creator is fucking bonkers.  i also liked koma/eda during the first chapter of dangan (as im sure most people did lmao) but i then hated him when he went nuts
14:  Unpopular opinion about your fandom?
[deep breath] KOMA/EDA AND OU/MA BOTH SUCK, THEIR SHIPS WITH THE PROTAGONIST SUCK, AND NEITHER OF THEM ARE GAY
16:  If you could change anything in the show, what would you change?
a lotta things, but if i had to choose one, i’d either let juuzou live :( (or maybe i’d make asano from drg end up with the sleepy chick because her ending up with hijirihara pissed me off sooooooooooo bad you have no idea)
20:  What is the purest ship in the fandom?
naegiri uwu
Anonymous asks:  6, 16, 19?
6:  Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?
hmmmmmmmmmmm..... i can’t really think of anything for danganronpa. i’m a huge multishipper after all! well, when i was back into one piece, i hated zoro x sanji. but now i like it - however that wasn’t because of the fandom, i’m long gone out of that hahaha. more just me being nostalgic and watching clips of the show and realizing the sexual tension that little me didn’t 😔
19:  What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?
people will call you out for liking the good guys because of one or two “problematic” things then kin sociopaths and serial killers
@sparklygems asks:  eyoo this is for the salty asks list and I was curious about if you could change anything in the DR games what would you change? (You have some Good opinions, i like hearin your thoughts~)
hehe thank you! i already answered this one, but, i guess i’ll give a different answer this time.
less weird borderline pedophilic things coming out of yumeno’s mouth :) (borderline because she’s technically of age but she’s total lo/li bait) and i guess just a bunch of other things regarding the weird unnecessary sexual shit lmao
@oxonicrab asks:  22 and 23! for dangan ofc
22:  Popular character you hate?
pretty sure it’s very well known that i hate koma/eda and ou/ma by now, soooo.... fucking MON/ODAM! he’s by far the most popular cub, i cannot stand him and i never could
23:  Unpopular character you love?
HAGAKURE!!!!!!!
@chainedintimacy asks:  If you could change anything in the show, what would you change? Also purest character? Popular character you hate? Unpopular character you love?
welp, almost every one of these has been answered, im gonna have to get creative!
16: If you could change anything in the show, what would you change?
mukuro-junko incest. totally ruined a perfectly good character for me (mukuro)
Purest character?
fucking usami.... nanami and naegi also are perfect and pure!!! 
22:  Popular character you hate?
hmmmm... shing/uuji
23:  Unpopular character you love?
i adore angie but it seems like a lot of the fandom hates her so;;;
@fly-fool asks:  Unpopular fan opinions 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 14, 17, 24, 25, 26, and 27 please
[rubs hands] here i fucking go
2: Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?
toukomaru :x not that i hate the ship or anything! it can be pretty cute! just.... one is a minor and one is an adult haha
EDIT: i now know that komaru is only a year younger than fukawa, but, this ship still counts for the question!
4:  Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?
fucking. KOM/AHINA. OUM/ASAI. wayyyyy too popular for my liking. also oum/ota
5:  Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
fuck i really gotta think of something for dangan huh? cus the pairings that i hate, i already hated... if it counts for anything, i only disliked oum/asai at first but the fandom made me loathe it so incredibly?
8:  Have you received anon hate? What about?
nothing too serious that i can recall. a couple funny little things about my CONTROVERSIAL SHIP/CHARACTER OPINIONS but nothing else really! oh, and some of that wasn’t even anon, so...
9: Most disliked character(s)? Why?
here’s ma top 3: 
3. koma/aeda. it feels dumb to have to explain why, but we’re in a fandom where he’s one of the most popular characters, so... just remember every bad thing he’s ever done, and that’s most of it. but i also hate the edginess surrounding him, the weird wheezy laugh, the self-deprecation done in such a weird creepy way, the appearance, the fact that he has the voice of my love, the fact that he’s the sans of the fandom... the sans before sans, if you will...
2: hai/ji. i shouldn’t have to justify this one since almost no one likes him, but. pedophile. even if you take away that totally unnecessary character aspect, he’s just... so fucking annoying. huge dickhead. ugly ratty hair. pissy pissy man. I HATE HIM
1. k*k*ch* **ma!!!! :)))))))))) again, just like kom/aeda, think of every bad thing he’s done. think of how the fandom treats him, amplifying my already-existent hate. think of his mortal enemy in the game who happens to my my favourite v3 (momota) and there ya go! his lying is only entertaining for so long, his stupid fucking shota face, the way people call him hot when he looks 12 and the fandom overlooks it because he’s a boy, the way people treat him like some canonically gay icon, some dickhead i saw who called him autistic once which offended me and my autistic brother deeply since the evidence they used was clearly a lack of understanding of autism... it’s a combination of the fandom’s obsession and his actual canonical character.
14:  Unpopular opinion about your fandom?
it’s fucking shite and everyone is a sheep - not to sound like some “intellectual” atheist who watches rick and morty but.... yall really do just latch onto what others say without looking into things yourself
17:  Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... instead of gonta getting iruma killed and being punished for it, i’d rather iruma have succeeded with her plan and taken one for the team :)
24:  Would you recommend XXX to a friend? Why or why not?
i’ve gotten ummm... at least 6 people to play so far hehe
even back in 2013-2014 when i was first into dangan, i got a couple friends to watch the anime. so that’s a yes! :)
i recommend it because, primarily, i need friends to talk about my hyperfixation to - but also because it’s genuinely a great series in my opinion. it has its flaws, but overall i really love danganronpa !
25:  How would you end XXX/Would you change the ending of XXX?
i mean...................... they could’ve thrown a naegiri wedding in there at the end of dr3 i’m just saying
26:  Most shippable character?
souda hehe. no bias xd (but for real i don’t think there’s bias considering none of my other top faves have nearly as many cute ships as he does. i can ship him with sonia, gundam, nidai, hinata, kuzuryuu, ibuki, iruma, kiibo....)
27:  Least shippable character?
ou/ma because he deserves nothing. i mean at least i can ship kom/aeda with himself (amami) and himself (sans) :///
@holy-shit-dangan-ronpa asks:  salty ask #17
17: Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…
shit lemme think of something else. uhhhh instead of... monaka going to space i want her redeemed too :( she may be totally evil and a bitch but they’re all kids!!!! i can’t wait for despair girls 2 i want the monokuma kids to be saved from their helmets and i want the warriors of hope to be adopted by good parents :((((
Anonymous asks: 10
10: Most disliked arc? Why?
i’ll probably have to choose ruruka’s whole character arc, what a bitch haha. she caused her own demise by trying to cheat in her exam, blamed her ‘friend’ for it who she only used, then killed her boyfriend because she didn’t wanna be ‘betrayed’ again. fucking christ woman get your shit together lol
Anonymous asks: 1
1: What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?
besides the notps i’ve already mentioned earlier... i guess oum/eno? like... the whole thing seems either based on the fact they’re both pedo bait... or because in the 5th trial ou/ma says he likes her (WHICH ISN’T EVEN OU/MA SAYING IT? AND IF MOMOTA IS GETTING THAT FROM HIS SCRIPT THEN DON’T THEY KNOW YOU CAN’T TAKE ANYTHING OU/MA SAYS SERIOUSLY BECAUSE HE’S THE BOY WHO CRIED USO DAYO?)
thanks for those guys it was fun :D xx

Do Randvi!
How I feel about this character
Tumblr media
I unabashedly and without shame adore Randvi. I will simp for Randvi until the end of time. Randvi could murder me and I’d go down singing her praises. I’m an absolute fucking sucker for stoic, honor driven characters to begin with. Wrap that up in a nice neat package of a sapphic woman pining for a forbidden lady love and I’m gonna buy all the merch (seriously, MAKE ME SOME FUCKING RANDVI MERCH).
Randvi is so quiet and careful in her desire, her pain, her suffering. She will sacrifice quietly and expect nothing in return, not even to be noticed. Staunch and stoic indeed.
Give me more of That Good Shit (TM).
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Eivor. That’s it. I never particularly shipped her with Sigurd because I got the impression right away that she wasn’t like... super thrilled with her husband. (I mean, look at the way her whole expression darkens when Eivor asks if Sigurd is back yet. That’s not happiness.)
Low-key I can see her in OT3s involving Eivor. Birna and Petra are my main targets for this.
I don’t ship her romantically with them, but I do think Randvi enjoys a little eye candy in the shape of Rollo and Vili.
My non-romantic OTP for this character
I don’t have any ONE person that I think is Randvi’s #1 Go To.
Okay that’s a lie, I do, but she’s like... 80% an OC at this point. And that is her sister Thora (mentioned in canon only in a letter you can find in the upstairs bedroom in the Fornburg Longhouse). So that crosses very heavily over into headcanon, but I think Randvi is extremely close to her sister and trusts her with things she would never trust anyone else with.
Within explicit canon, I think Randvi is close to Sunniva and Norvid, and not just in a professional sort of way. She trusts them.
I think she develops a very close relationship with Hytham, as he is one of the few who really understands and respects what she does for Ravensthorpe. (Eivor respects it, but I don’t think she really understands it.)
And she, obviously, becomes very attached to Coelbert. ;__;
My unpopular opinion about this character
Oooo, I don’t know if I have an unpopular one. Hold on, let me scrape the barrel here.
Well, I guess I can borrow from above for this, really.  No idea if this is actually unpopular, but it is something I have not seen anyone else discuss within the ship tag.
While I do think Eivor and Randvi are 100% Besties, I do not think Eivor is Randvi’s explicit #1 Bestie. I feel like Randvi is honestly one of the most emotionally healthy characters in the game, and she knows how to diversify her support system. Not to mention that Eivor is also gone a lot, so she cannot really just depend on Eivor. Plus, I think she is aware that leaning that hard on Eivor would not ultimately be very good for Eivor, as Eivor already tries to carry the whole ass world on her shoulders.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
I wish she could have divorced Sigurd earlier (I fix this in my fic, The Saga of the Wolf-Kissed, btw). I understand that Hordafylke is where Sigurd finally gets his goddamn sanity back and thus has the sense to realize where things are at but... Randvi did not need that to get a divorce. Randvi has literally TONS of grounds to pursue a divorce with Sigurd - not least of which would be his continued spousal abandonment, even before they arrived in England. The Norse actually made divorce a pretty easy process, and couples were allowed to part for pretty much whatever reasons they wanted, really. Especially when there was no issue of children.
I do not see why she could not have divorced him earlier in the game, other than the fact that Video Games seem extremely opposed to writing *actual* romantic relationships. (Think about it, they almost all do their romance sub-plots like a Disney film. It it 100% about getting the girl, and almost never at all about keeping the girl. I want to go on dates AFTER I’ve got the relationship, god damnit!)
Also I wish she would let us get it on in private just like... idk, 1 time. Seriously, Randvi.

A Note I Wrote for Myself/Beta Readers on my Randivor Fic
“Did I spend hours generating an equivalent calendar using Norse/Dane timekeeping methods? Yes. Was it a complete waste of time that no one else is going to appreciate? Yes. But is this level of obsessively minute world-building the reason I can never achieve actual creation? Also yes.“
