#also one hc that I like is that he isn't misogynistic at all. in fact it's the contrary. he'd comment stuff like 'common redditor F'

[angelizs]

Everytime I see someone say Idia wouldn’t know what a period is I always wonder whether they know he has to do stuff at his parents company which is literally about health /nm

hi anon!! I've actually never seen anyone saying this, but that might be because I'm very new to the fandom and haven't seen much Idia content so far. I agree with you, tho, I think him (and most of the boys at NRC too) would definetly know what it is!

wait I'll put this under the cut it's time for my (not so in depth) Idia analysis!!

ok so first things first, fair warning: this is my own personal interpretation and it might not be a 100% correct, anyone is allowed to disagree!

another fair warning: I've only caught up with the english server so far so I haven't read the Ignihyde chapter yet, which means I still have a lot to see about Idia, but I don't wanna get spoilers so I'll be going with the knowledge I have from the main story, events and vignettes.

the thing with Idia is that, at a surface level, he's just another Gamer Nerd TM stereotype that's a shut-in with no friends nor social skill and yada yada, and that's what some people might take him for, especially at first glance. I've seen people saying he'd be those misogynistic gamers that have never seen a girl in his life or the ones that think you absolutely have to prove you know everything about a game to be a fan of it. and I know that's all in good fun of course but! I don't agree with it at all!

in my point of view, yes Idia is very introverted and reclusive and he's socially awkward, but that doesn't mean he's that stereotypical gamer, which is what makes him so interesting in the first place! he breaks those expectations you have for his character and shows a lot more depth than this label! I'm not saying he doesn't play into the role at all, but I think he's very well written to break some common patterns.

like! he's such a sweet older brother! he might love his games and his alone time and his room, but he loves Ortho more than those things and would go out of his comfort zone for him (like in the recent Wish Upon a Star event which is one of my favorites btw). he gets very talkative and almost sassy when speaking about something he likes! (like in Azul's school uniform vignette). and yes he can be selfish and headstrong and rude (like in the Ghost Bride event), as is expected for a student of NRC, but that doesn't eliminates his positive traits.

where am I going with this and how does it even ties into the question? it's because in those gamer stereotypes, you'd expect him to not know anything about afab people that isn't in one of his games and have no friends to tell him otherwise. but I think he (and most at NRC) is very educated and would know, you know, basic biology. plus I actually wasn't aware his family's company is about health (I thought it had smth to do with technology, since as I mentioned I haven't read the chapter yet), but since that's the case it's even one extra motive for him to know about it.

like, it's definetly not on top of his mind and he probably never has given it any thought but he does know, it's just not something he has do deal with on a daily basis.

TL;DR: I agree with you anon, Idia is very interesting and there's more than what meets the eye to him, so he doesn't fall into a clear cut stereotype that people often take him for!

#tea time #don't lose your head #I'm sorry anon you probably were expecting a yes or no answer but. I like to talk so. you gave me the chance and I ran with it #also thanks for the tone tag I appreciate it!! #I love to talk about your thoughts on the characters so I really liked this ask #I could talk more about him (or any other character really) but I don't wanna bore you or stray too far from the original topic #also one hc that I like is that he isn't misogynistic at all. in fact it's the contrary. he'd comment stuff like 'common redditor F' #in those types of posts or make fun of people that treat girls weirdly on online games #common Idia W #NOT F IT'S L. IDK WHY I PUT F #F of failure ig??

The fact that I just saw like 4 different people jokingly say sasuke is a woman* and one say that he's the series' heroine (in the notes and all the anons flooding the best naruto character poll where he's losing to tenten bc ppl think tenten sweep is funny) is making me wilt away..... like I'm sorry but this series HAS a heroine and fandom treats her like shit and is already constantly trying to erase her presence in the story. I also enjoy joking about how my male blorbos are lesbians or whatever at times, but it's just making me sigh really heavily when it's coming from a fandom (not all of them but a large percentage of sasuke fans are particularly bad for this if I'm honest) that already interpret the series' female characters with the most bad faith readings ever and hold every flaw and wrong decision against them while excusing their male faves for doing far worse. I love sasuke but he really is not a feminist queen or whatever hdjfhs and the fact that people would rather give a man "honorary woman" status than show more kindness to their interpretations of the actual women characters is 😐

*this isn't about people who hc him as a trans woman/transfem (I haven't seen anybody do that but I have no issue with it of course) it's people making like "voting against [male character] is misogyny" or "[male character] is actually the best woman" etc. type jokes, which I normally find funny but think you should lose the privilege of making when you're in the world's most misogynist fandom gsjbfnsbs

I wanted to ask is YN completely free to imagine?or does she have certain details that changed for example hair colour,hair length I wonder if she had certain details (other than her body lol) that they noticed about her first I know this is kind of a dumb question 👁👁

Nope! YN is only She/Her and that she is the same age as Billy and Stu but height, body type, race, ethnicity, hair length, eye color blah blah blah; is all up to you! Completely free to imagine! As far as details changing, that's also up to the reader if she grew her hair out or pulled a Sidney and cut it short. All we know is she's growing up compared to in HS.

Honestly what drew Billy & Stu in was:

1. She was new and I HC Woodsboro as a smallish town where everyone grew up together with the exceptions of a few stragglers here and there. I grew up in a similar town and newbies at School became the gossip within a day or two as someone new. Put it this way; I grew up with mostly everyone here and so did Billy and Stu and the rest of their friend group in Woodsboro. If Billy really is arrogant and thinks he's above the boring, normal ppl of Woodsboro; the new meat coming in will perk his interest even if he acts indifferent. Stu just knows = New girl = New prospects 😑

2. She became friends with Tatum and Sidney first. She sat beside Stu in class but didn't really talk as friends until Tatum and Stu started dating and Randy was friends with Stu and had a crush on Sidney so that introduced you to Ray and Billy was dating Sidney so you got to know each other whether you liked it or not. You talked to Billy before Stu and got along with him really well despite not putting up with his shit. THAT really suckered Billy even if he acted like he didn't like you at first bc you were one of the only ppl to not only try to understand him BUT to also call him out on his bs. He isn't used to that and it had him crushing on you. Stu? You were attractive and different and that's all it took tbh 😅 And in his deranged mind you're just SOOO different than every girl in Woodsboro (She's not like other girls 😔💅🏻 /j)

3. You got into horror movies while both Tatum and Sidney either don't like them or could care less. I chose this detail bc most ppl simping for Billy and Stu are in the Slasher fandom so it was a no brainer. Billy and Stu are absolutely enthralled with you if you want to watch horror movies with them. (I'm SURE at first they were like "Oh yeah? Girls aren't into horror. What horror movies do you like? The Littlest Vampire? 🙄" and are surprised when you prove to them they're misogynistic and full of shit.)

So yeah not saying they didn't find us attractive but it was more us being 'different' and exciting that lured them in. (And the fact they couldn't have us once James got in the picture made their fucked up crush on us ten times worse those toxic mfers ☠️)

[fredrickzoller]

What I love about your fics-most of them kind of related💔Like I just read Fortsetzung Folgt and seems like the story starts right after Dieter arrive at France(and they were on 1 year break at the moment?). Maybe I’m wrong. Also is Dieter gay or he just drawn to Hans? Bc I read many fanfics where a person doesn’t label himself like gay but had attraction toward one person). Also: Fortsetzung Folgt personally my favourite fanfic of you, esp with how petty for no reason Dieter is in this lol

Aw anon you are too kind, I'm glad you love FF as much as you do! I do love it a lot, myself, since I feel Landa's feelings come through to an extent, more so than in other fics, which makes sense given the point they're at in their relationship. It's something I wrote early on in my Landstrom ventures and I feel I might change a few things but all in all I do enjoy it.

And yeah so like the timeline is a bit nebulous but their reunion in France is after the "break-up" I've mentioned in previous asks (that is really more just like, Dieter is so upset about his parents' deaths and takes it out on Hans, and that leads to him being like "I don't want this anymore >:(") So when they reunite, he's definitely acting a bit different because /that's/ all happened and it's difficult to pretend it didn't. But at the same time, I think the time apart has made Dieter a bit more accepting to Hans understanding him (opposed to, I think this is something he's aware of for a while, that Hans has many facets of him figured out, and it bothers him, vs. in FF I think he's slightly more just like, okay it's not the worst thing… maybe…)

I feel the movie doesn't really state how much time they're in France though I assume it's probably around 3 weeks to a month, and FF is set at the tail end of that.

As for labels, well, in Tease Rough, Hans pretty much makes Dieter (threatens him) come right out and admit that he's gay, although the word isn't used. I do hc Dieter as 100% (more like 1000%) gay - that the idea of being with a woman repulses him, and his extreme misogyny and internalized homophobia are strongly linked (and like, i know the "misogynistic gay" is a trope not everyone likes but man is a Nazi with a capital N, i feel it's hard to get around that). In how I write Dieter, he's never really questioned it, either - he's always been attracted to guys, its just been a matter of realizing what exactly it is and what it means, etc. I think he wants to hold out hope that he will at least overcome being attracted to men (isn't too keen on the idea of being attracted to women, still, lol), but the events that occur in my longfic idea (Der klaren Sterne) force him to face the reality that this is not going to change, and… well, a lot happens. But yeah like he's a huge, as the Nazis would say, degenerate homophile. :p

And yes, he is so petty, especially where Fredrick is concerned. I just feel they would clash so so much given their personalities, and Dieter wasting his time being so concerned with Fredrick is amusing - although I also think he's a bit jealous. He's given basically half his life to this cause whereas baby boi Fredrick just happens to be in the "right place at the right time" if you want to call it that. (Plus yknow the whole angle of him seeing Fredrick, who is Very Straight, as not masculine or 'tough'. Hans is just like /watches, eats popcorn... occasionally meddles :)/.)

(And if I'm being honest, them having animosity towards each other, or Dieter hating Fredrick, at least, is made extra entertaining to me by the fact that Daniel and August are bff irl.)

#hellstrom #landa #ship: landstrom

[hxneylavendxr]

for the sending character thing: Izumi sena bc im basic

[evil smile]

sexuality hc - gay gay homosexual gayass mother fucker but, and this is important to me, not in ye old gay misogynist anime boy doesn't even look at women way but in a straight man's written caricature straight woman's gay best friend plaything way you know. which i think is HILARIOUS especially for a gacha anime boy what the fuck man

gender hc - he could absolutely be a trans guy he fucking could. you know the izumi sena unsafe binding official art im talking about

i don't think he's cisgender at all, but calling him effeminate just feels too damn right- he's in the gray space the gender not soup but void

ships - um. give me a ship as full of gut pulling history and reprehensible turmoil but beautiful reconciliation and resolve as izuleo and i cannot for the life of me be expected not to eat that shit up come on now they literally got married in florence what can i say

however ASIDE FROM THE OBVIOUS izukao chiaizu and all three as a polycule is <333 being in that class must have been like a fever dream i've always longed for what they had there

and ritsuizu urgh!!!!! they are (very very very very often) portrayed in fanfictions(tm) as a side pick me up/friends w benefits situation and You Know What? i agree it's always just whatever anyway with those two isn't it

brotp - 3a trio AGAIN because i contain multitudes. and Oh she's about to say something weird again izushu platonic kismesis that makes sense okay i think they're very silly. lastly izunaru!!!! arashi can be like the straight girl to his gay best friend

notp - don't think i have one for him (as i dont for most characters hsfg)

random hc - well besides the fact that izuleo getting married in florence was not a canonically explicitly stated event but it totally happened in my head, ahh we have the classic 3a trio being the only three who actually showed up to class 3a and kaoru, almost skipping himself initially, is able to convince them to all go down to the beach before their teacher shows up So he spent days in the sand with those two a lot during his school days

general opinion - he's such a textbook capital b Bitch and im really glad he didn't get all that much development in that area by the time we arrived in !! .like he got better but all i can say is that's the difference between Being a High Schooler and not being a high schooler aghhfhj he is so fucking funny what's he all bitter over 24/7 he has self inflicted asshole brain disease which is just like me fr... he is also very pretty :3

#i babble a lot huh #i dont like speaking unprompted (she's mentioned that..) so when i do get prompted. eheh #i have a lot to say! it's all been marinating #shav in my ask box #ask game

Continuation of this ask

Bedivere x Arturia - Ship it

What made you ship it?

TBH I was one of those few people who shipped it based on that like 2 second scene at the end of FSN. The Camelot Singularity just reinforced it. A lot came from the original Arthurian legend as well. Bedivere is similarly insanely loyal as he is in the game, and like in Fate lore, he’s been with Arthur longer than most.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

He journeyed so far for so long just to see her smile OH MY GOD BRB IM SOBBING HOLY CRAP CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE—

I’m a sucker for intensely loyal knights and I will always be. ALWAYS.

THE ANGST POTENTIALLLLLL but also THE FLUFF POTENTIALLLL

This man loved his king so bloody intensely. So strongly that his desire to see her survived the test of time. To be loved so much, so unconditionally for a thousand and a half years? Gods, that’s just too much, man. ;-;

And I absolutely adore how much it means to him to remain her knight, even if he tends to be insecure about the limb that he lacks, and how he believes he is nothing special in comparison with everyone else. I love that Arturia recognizes his strength and his worth, even if he himself can’t see it.

THE ENTIRE CONFRONTATION IN THE THRONE ROOM LET ME TELL YOU I WAS CRYING SOOOOO HARD THROUGHOUT THAT IK NIT EVEN KIDDING

THIS, the MINDBREAK Arturia goes through when she tries to remember

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I think that THIS SHIP NEEDS MORE LOVE AND I REALLY OUGHT TO CONTRIBUTE

All the other answers below cut!

Irisviel x Arturia - Ship It

What made you ship it?

I think I was bound to the moment I watched Fate Zero. When I was younger it was overshadowed by the feels Diarturia brought and not to mention Kiritsugu and Iri but this ship is damn good on its own.

What sold it though, is the argument she and Kiritsugu have in Episode 16, right after the last Saber and Lancer fight. Irisviel, who we all know loves her husband so much, forced Kiritsugu to answer Saber. That’s just how important Arturia was to her.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

I think they both found in each other something they themselves lack. It’s actually kind of funny. Arturia is human, and yet she’s so heavily consumed by her ideals that she doesn’t act like one. Irisviel, on the other hand, is not human, and yet everything that she does and wants to do is exactly that.

Throughout the anime, Being with Iri puts Saber into such mundane, ordinary situations that it teaches her to live. The suits, the escorting, being a passenger instead of a driver, appreciating the water by the seashore, etc. It's like the woman wants to leave her with some appreciation for the world, especially when she herself doesn’t have all that much time left.

On Irisviel’s part, I think she found in Saber the companionship she would have wanted from Kiritsugu during the last few days she remained on the Earth. Arturia had been the perfect knight in shining armor, taking Irisviel around to see the world as much as they could amidst a war. If they’d just had more time, I have no doubt Arturia would have taken Irisviel even more places, you know?

It makes me sad :( but in a good way.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I’m pretty sure Irisviel would wear the pants in this relationship ya know what I mean? Hahaha

Much as I love this ship, I think that it becomes all the more valuable because of how it ended. To each other, they were this brief, fleeting feeling of happiness. A love that was so short and yet so strong.

Shirou x Arturia - Don't Ship it

Hooooooo boi. Hear me out, mkay ? But this is just my personal opinion so pls no hate

Why don't you ship it?

I’m gonna start out by saying I don’t think I need to, tbh. Hahaha there’s enough content for this ship being fed to us, so my liking it or not is immaterial. But the reason is well...I watched FSN and Shirou x Saber was...not the best thing about it (the best thing about it was the soundtrack omg iconic) Shirou comes off as a bit of a misogynist, and kind of immature, and the whole time it’s like he doesn’t really listen to Arturia at all. Plus, it’s kind of like he just likes her looks at times. The final deciding factor was the date scene. That was just unbearable.

But then I go online and I see all this good stuff about them. And my friend ships them cause they’re canon, right? So, I’m like okay, what if I judged too quickly, let’s play the VN...and I did. And I still didn’t like him with Saber at all. So, I played the next route, watched the next anime, trying to redeem 1st route Shirou as much as I could but it just....didn’t happen. I think I can safely say I tried to like them. I really did. But no.

What would have made you like it?

Removing the misogyny and the immaturity and letting him listen to her. Like he should have.

At no point in their interactions did it feel like they were standing on equal ground, ever. Either he was speaking over her or the opposite. So less of that and a lot more respect.

And when you compare this relationship to what he has with like with his other two love interests, it makes this ship fall completely flat. It’s pretty...bland and honestly kind of shallow. It’s like the story just tells you they’re in love but there’s no answer to why they’re in love. Make him fall in love with her for her without necessarily forcing his need to save everyone on her.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

I may not like how they got there, but in the end Arturia was able to pass peacefully.

I acknowledge that Shirou was important and made a change in her life.

That ending scene where they meet after so long, NGL is pretty sweet.

A lot of my headcanons happen post-Shirou, so there’s also that.

Archer x Rin -Ship it

What made you ship it?

Tsundere x Cynic has gotta be one of the best dynamics out there.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

His true identity. The fact that she dragged him all the way across space and time to return as her Servant, that’s just bloody fate at work.

The fact that he keeps acknowledging she’s a strong Master despite his later conduct in UBW.

Archer is ridiculously crass and Rin is easily riled up. In the Fifth Holy Grail War, they had the best Master-Servant relationship period. They have this explosive chemistry that just works so well.

When he smiles at her at the end of the route, and you just know that Tohsaka’s gonna be stubborn enough to make sure Shirou doesn’t end up going down the exact same path.

I think it’s sweet that he ends up going along with her whims because he secretly likes housework.

THE PRINCESS CARRY/ CATCH. MAN OH MAN.

Unlike the previous ship mentioned here, these two actually stand on equal ground with each other.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I don't think it's exactly an unpopular opinion, but I think they really ought to have more official content y'know? Rin is important in every route, and Archer's the actual climax of UBW and also entirely significant across three routes.

Medusa x Sakura - Don't ship it

Why don't you ship it?

Because while journeying through the routes, I always saw Rider as more of a best friend/sort of motherly figure to Sakura.

Or that Rider fulfilled the kind of relationship that she wanted to have with Rin, while Sakura unknowingly filled the void Medusa's sisters left in her life. I thought she was more of a guardian angel really, not a romantic interest. Kind of like how Heracles was to Illya.

What would have made you like it?

If I could maybe forget about the threesome with Shirou and the implied romantic feelings Rider has for him in Ataraxia that would be great.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

Sakura deserves all the happiness in the world and I really do believe that Rider could fulfill that.

This ship DEFINITELY DEFINITELYYYYYY NEEDS MORE CONTENT

Diarmuid x Cú - Ship it

What made you ship it?

oooh this probably sounds surprising since based on my content you'd think, no i dont ship this BUT I DOOOOOOO (i just happen to hc them as bros more often)

Honestly what did make me ship it is the parallels.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

IMO They have the biggest potential for hurt/comfort amongst all the ships mentioned here.

They can help each other get through their trauma. Their whole relationship would be extremely healing and supportive.

I love that Diarmuid seems to have idolized Cú Chulainn at some point and honestly who wouldn't be honored to stand beside him, no?

They could be up to the funniest shenanigans because Cú is chaos and Diarmuid would absolutely be an enabler because when he isn't angst-ing he's super damn chill.

Bros being bros hahahah...unless?

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Not really. Maybe that I think Lancer Diar and Cascu would get along better and Saber Diar and Lancer Cu would also get along better but honestly any form is good this ship is good
