Character ask: Mr. and Mrs. Bennet (Pride and Prejudice)
Favorite thing about them: They're both funny characters in their different ways: Mr. Bennet intentionally, Mrs. Bennet unintentionally.
Least favorite thing about them: Well, they're both basically terrible parents to their daughters and terrible spouses to each other. Mrs. Bennet's own foolish behavior makes all the troubles she worries about much worse, while Mr. Bennet's habit of doing nothing except mocking it all is both unkind and irresponsible.
On a meta level, I do sometimes wonder if Austen's portrayal of Mrs. Bennet shows classism (since her socially ignorant behavior stems at least in part from her lower-class background – although her brother Mr. Gardiner doesn't share her faults), and/or internalized misogyny (while Mr. Bennet's flaws are made clear, we never quite lose the sense that Mrs. Bennet is meant to be seen as worse). I understand why so many readers think her portrayal is unfair and mean-spirited, though I'm not sure if I agree.
Three things I have in common with them:
Mrs. Bennet:
*I can be neurotic.
*I can be over-enthusiastic.
*I sometimes make social faux pas.
Mr. Bennet:
*I prefer reading to socializing.
*I can be irresponsible, especially with money.
*I like Elizabeth Bennet.
Three things I don't have in common with them:
Mrs. Bennet:
*I'm not a middle-aged British woman.
*I'm not married and don't have children.
*If I had daughters, even if I lived in Georgian England, I would rather they stay single than be married to the likes of Mr. Collins or Wickham.
Mr. Bennet:
*I'm not a middle-aged British man.
*I'm less witty than he is.
*If I had children, I would remember my duties to them.
Favorite line:
Mr. Bennet:
"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these last twenty years at least."
"An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do."
Mrs. Bennet:
"Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied."
brOTP: Mr. Bennet: His favorite daughter Elizabeth, if anyone. Mrs. Bennet: Her sister Mrs. Phillips, and her favorite daughter Lydia.
OTP: Each other, if only because that's what they deserve. Ideally, though, other people whom they never met.
nOTP: Any of their daughters or their daughters' husbands.
Random headcanon: Mrs. Bennet's first name is Jane. Just because the 1995 miniseries calls her "Fanny" doesn't make that name canon, and in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was common for one daughter in a family, usually the eldest, to be named after her mother.
Unpopular opinion: We don't need to choose whether to side with Mr. Bennet or Mrs. Bennet. This isn't a case of "one is right, the other is wrong" or "one is the good parent, the other is the bad parent." They both have sympathetic qualities, yet they both have glaring faults that nearly ruin their daughters' futures too. The old-school viewpoint of "Mr. Bennet is the likable, sensible parent; Mrs. Bennet is an idiot" and the more recently popular viewpoint of "Mrs. Bennet is just trying to secure her daughters' futures; Mr. Bennet is the bad parent" are both faulty and reductive.
Song I associate with them: None.
Favorite picture of them:

Hello! For the character ask, I'm submitting the lovely vampire wives Striga and Morana 😁
Alright. Let's do those two. Because man, do I love them! And heck, I totally have a fuckton of headcanons. No wonder, because they have basically no background in the canon! xD
Tumblr media
Sexuality Headcanon
Morana is "I am too old to care"-sexual. xD She is just so ancient, that gender and sex totally have stopped mattering to her. I guess you can call that pansexual.
Striga is a trans and bisexual, though she prefers women over men. :)
OTP
Duh. The two of them together. Striga/Moana. Just... They are so wonderful with each other!
BroTP
For Morana my BroTP is Morana & Carmilla. I have them be the closest out of the sisters (outside of Striga/Morana of course). Which also informs how she thinks about Carmilla's death.
For Striga... I am kinda partial to the way I write the Striga & Isaac friendship. I am sorry. Headcanon. As I said.
NOTP
Honestly, I don't like those two with anyone but each other.
First headcanon that pops into my head
For Striga it is, that as a human she was the oldest (surviving) sibling out of six. As their parents were dead and they needed money, she became a mercenary. Which lead to her hunting down vampires. So one day she met this old vampire, Lazarus. He killed her entire troop, but because she kept fighting, he decided she was a worthy recruit and turned her against her will. He then proceeded to kill her siblings. (Don't worry, she killed him a few decades later)
For Morana it is that she is from an ancient Persian kingdom, that was ruled by vampires. So promising kids were raised by the vampires and then turned in their prime. She was one of the kids. So she was a queen about 1700 years ago. But in the end the kingdom fell and she became a drifter for several centuries.
Favorite line from this character
For Striga it is this one. (I love her humor!) "Your idea was the equivalent of the village idiot walking in here and saying, "I think we should be able to light fires by punching a fish." It basically made no sense and Morana made it work anyway."
Just this last bit from their last scene: "Striga… you and I? It's not like we ever really needed anything else." I love them! I love their love! And I am aromantic, but they are so... perfect with each other.
One way in which I relate to this character
For Striga it is entirely through my headcanon, I admit. Because I headcanon her as trans and I am trans and... yeah, come on!
For Morana it is her position as the administrator. I love me some logistics. :P
Thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
Admittedly I just have to go entirely with headcanon for Striga. But man, this woman loves to poke poor little Hector a lot. He squeals so funnily, when she does it.
For Morana it is still... like... How did she think, that the entire thing was going to work out. Yes, I know, Carmilla. Reality spell. Whatever. But, my lady, you are more intelligent than this!
Cinnamon Roll or Problematic Fave?
Cinnamon Rolls...? I mean, they are villains but... THEY ARE SO SWEET WITH EACH OTHER!

I had to think about who I wanted to ask about but other than Stray and JTTW (and Monkie Kid), I don't know what other media you enjoy (though I did see Cult of the Lamb reblogs, good game)
Soooooo let's go with Guanyin or Erlang Shen (since I'm sure you're going to get Sun Wukong)
Ooooo OKAY let's go with Erlang Shen since I STILL don't feel I have enough of a grasp on Guanyin's character to do her any kind of justice.
Sexuality Headcanon: Bi, preference for men. Gender Headcanon: Cis male A ship I have with said character: Haha okay so the stories I've heard about Erlang Shen and the art with ships I've seen with him has convinced me that the Erlang Shen x Sun Wukong ship is pretty neat BUT ONLY when it's extremely and grudgingly one-sided on Erlang Shen's part while the monkey king remains completely clueless. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I do remember seeing a story about the war god being married and then divorced from a dragon princess as well...it conclusion, it is in fact a tragi-comedy if he was left as epic divorce god who also lost a custody battle over his nephew with a monkey who never has and never will return Erlang Shen's affections. A BROTP I have with said character: I don't know that much about them, but this position would surely have to go to the seven elite sages that Erlang Shen is sworn brothers with! A NOTP I have with said character: As with Zhu Bajie I haven't seen any ships with the war god that I found particularly bad...maybe I just haven't been exposed to the horrors out there though. A random headcanon: That he's secretly ashamed of himself for having done the same thing to his nephew and sister that the Jade Emperor did to him and his own mother, and that he doesn't know how to reconcile these feelings and resultant uncertainties with being Heaven's greatest warrior. General Opinion over said character: The more I learn about this figure the more fascinating I find him, especially since he's gone through so many different iterations and has had one story after another added to the mythos around him as the centuries roll past! But I guess I'm particularly appreciating what seem to be more recent interpretations of him as an often painfully human (and extraordinary powerful) deity who's found himself torn between his duty to Heaven and his love for his family.

For the recent Yu-Gi-Oh pairing post. Always interested on peoples thoughts on "less popular" characters. Rishid Ishtar or Mahad 🤔
WELL YOURE IN LUCK CUZ I LOVE BOTH OF THESE GUYS i'm gonna do mahad cuz I feel like I have more I can say about him, shipping wise--I LOVE rishid as a character, but I'm not really interested in ships with him (I just adore his relationship with his siblings, it makes me so soft)
anyway MAHAD MY FRIEND MAHAD
My NOTP for them: NOT a huge fan of him being shipped with Mana, no thank you....... shes like 13 and hes like 20-22ish, I simply think they are besties and he sees her like a little sister, thank you
My BROTP for them: hooouughghhhh I really...Really like his bond with atem. I'm on the fence how I feel about it romantically speaking because, again, atem is 16 and mahad is 22, and also in general I hc atem as aro, but I feel like there's some definite degree of soulmateitude floating around in there. The eternal love and devotion aspect, my god, there is so much love there, I think it has to go beyond just 'feeling obligated to serve your future king.'
My OTP for them: yeah probably him and atem in this very convoluted platonic soulmate lost over the centuries madness spiral i have just described above.  
My second choice pairing for them: anyone out there shipping dark magician!mahad and the red!dark magician from arkana's deck??? anyone??? anyone???? how we feeling on that????? i think it could be fun.
My fluffy pairing for them: not sure if I have one??? hm
My angsty pairing for them: again whatever is going on with him and atem....something about the "you forgot about me for 3000 years but I still stood by your side and protected you" is like. WOOF 
My favorite poly ship for them: non-romantically speaking I do love mana-mahad-atem as a friendship trio....thinking about them in modern AUs. i love childhood friends who grew up together and now things have Some Level of Complication 
My weirdest pairing for them: mfs aren't ready for the "College AU Mahad and College AU Zane accidentally going to the same stupid warehouse raves and becoming associates whether they want to be or not because their little siblings started dating" dynamic that lives in my brain and that truly only I care about lol

Nari
I love my boy!
favorite thing about them
I've intentionally written him as very family oriented, and I think it is his best quality. He cares so much about all of them, and is quick to their defense. It also means when he fights with his family, it's over something he feels very strongly about, which is great from a writing perspective.
least favorite thing about them
He's actually one of the harder characters to write for, at least when he's older. Nari the Younger is a child and so he's mostly just a collection of young child tropes, though he does take his responsibilities as Crown Prince very seriously for a six-year-old. Nari the Elder on the other hand, there's a stark difference between who he is in the main fic, where he's an exiled crown prince and has had decades, if not centuries, of expectations and wanting to protect his family like his father and uncle do, and who he is in almost every other universe, where he's the inheritor of Heimdall and Sigyn's legacy and training to be a Guardian of the Bifrost. His sister has much more consistency across the multiverse, in who she is and what she wants. There's basically three different characters named "Nari" that are related be distinct from each other.
favorite line
Probably this exchange:
“No, Scar’s the bad guy,” Nari said. “Like Thanos.” Thor froze. “Mama thinks I don’t hear stuff,” Nari said. “I’ll keep that in mind,” Thor said. “Is Thanos gone?” Nari asked. “Yes,” Thor said. “Your mother and Morgan’s father made sure he is never coming back.” Nari nodded. “Good.”
It's so much of who Nari is-- insightful, family-oriented, protective, and wise, but also harsh and somewhat unforgiving. That last "Good." is just *chef's kiss* exactly him.
brOTP
HIs relationship with his siblings, 100%. Obviously Nari and Vali are great together, but I also really love the dynamic he has with Brandr. It was also fun to write him with Brunnhilde.
OTP
I know I don't really see him in relationships, but I do root for Nari/Morgan a little bit. I know they're six, but maybe when they're older.
nOTP
Most ships, honestly. Nari is baby, I think I've made my point clear on that, lol. XD
random headcanon
Nari had a horror film phase when he was 14, and he always has a soft spot for his favorite Disney films.
unpopular opinion
I probably make Nari less of an "innocent martyr" character type and more of a "tragic victim" type. Part of this is that I made him significantly older than his sister in the fic (though they are still twins in most universes). Part of this is allowing him to grow up.
song I associate with them
"Little Lion Man" by Mumford & Sons, for sure.
favorite picture of them
Tumblr media
Nari, of course, being 95% OC, doesn't have an image of him from any of the MCU properties, but I do fancast Timothee Chalamet in the role, and of the pictures that came up in a quick google search, this one seemed to capture Nari more than the professional magazine shoots or the red carpet pics.
Thank you for the ask!

🏳️‍🌈- Orientation headcanon
Ok so. yelena's sexuality is a goddamn discourse minefield rn and everyone seems to be arguing and i do get both sides, but some vague statement of some writer doesn't make it canon. Besides, her comics counterpart is very different from her mcu version, at least that ik, i haven't read a comic in centuries. So it all p much boils down to headcanon. as someone in the aspec, i do want her to be asexual and maybe demiromantic. Realistically speaking i just want her not to be paired off with a man, least of all bucky (like...idc for him and also it feels like giving her nats love interest, even tho hes not in the mcu).
and just like everything fandom, what everyone should do is tag their stuff correctly. ppl dont wanna read romantic bishova? stick to the platonic tags, kinda speaking from experience (i'm fine with romantic bishova tho) and viceversa. altho it is trickier on tumblr but just. follow ppl that share your hc idk
💛- Brotp
I mean, is there any question here? Yelena and Nat! they deserved so much more time together, i deserved it 😭 But going forward, Yelena and Kate! Chaotic Besties™, their dynamic is hilarious and they honestly made the hawkeye series for me. it was enjoyable, i loved maya too, but i just lived for their scenes and it'd be a crime if we don't get more
💚- Notp
yelena/bucky. also yelena/natasha in the mcu (ik theyre kinda fruity in the comics and also, yknow, not sisters)
❤️‍🩹- Angsty headcanon
it's only slightly angsty but as a black widow, she was trained to speak in many, many languages with close to no accent, so the fact that she speaks in a heavily russian one is, in part, a deliberate choice, a way for her to distance herself from the red room and what they drilled into her, of saying she's not theirs anymore. she doesnt know if she's even russian by birth, but she sticks to it bc of her dysfunctional found family, she makes that hers. just like the vest and the jewelry and the fashion style, and now her dramatic exits lmao (graceful, like they taught her, but not in the same manner)

"My money would be on you."
Summary: Nesta and Azriel discussing the necklace debacle, with some nezriel Brotp moments and Azriel processing his feelings toward Elain.
Words: ~2K
Prequel to: What is it that you want, Elain?
Here's a snippet:
Azriel had forgiven his brother, but kept replaying the events of the night in his head. Did he misinterpret Elain's scent? Did Rhys not realize she was a willing participant? Did his brother really think so little of him? Did Elain hate him now? Why did she return the necklace? He knew he wasn't worthy of Elain, but then again, no one was. She was... something else. She nearly took his breath away as a human, and now as high fae, she was devastatingly gorgeous. But what was inside defied all expectations - yes, she was sweet, and kind, and full of light, but under the surface: she was fierce, brave, clever, and funny. She never once balked from him. A thing of secret, lovely beauty.
“You haven’t been sleeping” Nesta observed from her chair in the family library.
Azriel looked up from the reports he was scouring through. Usually, Azriel worked in his room, allowing Nesta and Cassian the space they needed to explore their new bond. With Cassian gone with Mor to deal with the Illyrians and reinforce the wards around Emerie's shop, he had learned to enjoy Nesta’s quiet company after dinner.
“I haven’t” Azriel admitted, running a scarred hand through his hair, while schooling his expression of surprise into his usually mask of indifference. She had a way of reading him that he wasn’t used to. Most people feared him or dismissed him entirely. Only Mor had seemed to be able to get him to talk, but that had grown increasingly infrequent, with Mor's visits to the continent and the distance she had put between them since the war.
“Nightmares?” Nesta asked more quietly, as she set down her book: A romance about an Illyrian and a river nymph, she had told him when they sat down in the library.
He studied her. Maybe it was the exhaustion, maybe it was the way that Nesta observed him and seemed to see things others missed, maybe it was the fact that he knew she wouldn’t judge him that made him say: “I used to have night terrors, they are a product of my childhood. I’ve had them on and off throughout the centuries. I thought I had kicked the habit, but about fifty years ago, they came back. Have been worse lately.”
He knew Nesta understood his meaning, Feyre and Cassian had told her enough. Since Rhys went Under the Mountain, the entire Court had lost something of themselves. For Azriel, it was his ability to sleep.
“You don’t take anything to help you sleep?” Nesta asked carefully. He knew she was being careful, Nesta knew that if she asked too much, he wouldn’t answer, find an excuse to disturb the peace they had found in working together.
“I have tried, but I'm either out for days, or barely functioning to the point where my senses are numb, it doesn’t help with spying.”
“Is that why you’ve been training in the middle of the night? Gwyn said she caught you up there at 2am on solstice.”
Azriel made himself chuckle. He knew Gwyn would tell Nesta, but didn’t expect her to hold onto it for so long. The priestess was his friend now and she was persistent, curious, and stronger than most people gave her credit for. “Did you ask Gwyn why she was there at 2am?”
Nesta made a face at him and said nothing. He knew Nesta had likely guessed what had him in a mood on Solstice. She had shown him as much that day. Nesta also knew about how Gwyn had taken to late night training. The same way Nesta still climbed the stairs, Cassian took to the skies, Feyre stayed up painting, and Elain strolled through her garden after a long day. They all had their ways of coping.
“Gwyn showed me a necklace someone gifted her. She asked if it was me. She said “a friend” had left it with Clotho, but no one else had come to the House that week.”
Azriel kept his face indifferent and willed his shadows to stay calm. Any reaction would be an admission, one he wasn't sure he should make. He knew where she was going with this. She knew he had left the necklace for Gwyn, and probably guessed how much he had spent on it - the necklace was worth more than most of the presents he gave on Solstice, certainly not fitting for a casual gift for a friend. He prayed Nesta wouldn't read into it. Azriel wasn't fully comfortable with the amount of female attention he received every morning. He was distant and aloof during training, but his shadows often informed him how closely the priestesses watched him. He ignored them, had been ignoring them since Cassian had asked him to help with training.
He didn't need to be thinking about any females, he reminded himself, especially after the talk with Rhys on Solstice: You will leave Elain alone. If you need to fuck someone, go to a pleasure hall and pay for it, but stay away from her. He had snarled in response. Rhys rarely resorted to personal attacks. Or threats, which he had also made: If I see you panting after her again, I'll make you regret it.
Azriel had forgiven his brother, but kept replaying the events of that night in his head. Did he misinterpret Elain's scent? Did Rhys not realize she was a willing participant? Did his brother really think so little of him? Did Elain hate him now? Why did she return the necklace?
He knew he wasn't worthy of Elain, but then again, no one was. She was... something else. She nearly took his breath away as a human, and now as high fae, she was devastatingly gorgeous. But what was inside defied all expectations - yes, she was sweet, and kind, and full of light, but under the surface: she was fierce, brave, clever, and funny. She never once balked from him. A thing of secret, lovely beauty.
Nesta's voice roused him from his quickly spiraling thoughts; he needed to get a grip before he revealed too much. “It had a rose on it - exactly like something I would get for Elain.”
Azriel realized that he was trapped. If he made an excuse to leave, she would know, if he brushed it off, she would know. If he hid in the shadows, she would know. If he said nothing, she would know. If he told her too much - she would know. But...Nesta was his friend - she had made that clear a week ago, when she took him down to see the heart of the house. "Just because Rhys said the House is ours, I don't want you to feel any less welcome. This is your home, and you're our family, but you're also my friend. If you would like to be," She had said. Azriel was so touched by the tender offer, he couldn’t say anything. He just wrapped his arms around Nesta and hugged her. In the days since, the two had joked about their alliance against Cassian's insanity.
Azriel decided to come clean. He knew Nesta wouldn’t interfere. Things with Elain were still tentative, and even if she was cordial with Lucien, she wouldn’t ruin her new relationships in the court. Maybe he could use a friend, especially around Elain and Gwyn. After five centuries of using Cassian as a buffer with Mor, of course his brother's mate would take up the role. In 550 years, he never thought jewelry would be the source of his problems.
He sighed, steeling himself for what was to come. Then it all came tumbling out: “I bought it for her. Gave it to her on Solstice. We... had a moment, but nothing happened. Rhys interrupted. I winnowed away. Found Gwyn in the training ring. Elain gave the necklace back. I didn't want to hold on to it, so I left it with Clotho.” He covered his face with his hands as his shadows gathered around him, shielding him from Nesta's gaze. “I fucked up. ”
After a long moment, Azriel willed himself to look up. Nesta’s expression yielded nothing - no judgement., no surprise. He wondered if Elain had already told her what had happened. Out of nowhere, she laughed. “You two would look amazing together. I don't know why I didn't consider it until now, Prythians most beautiful couple," she mused.
Azriel frowned at her, feeling the color blooming on his cheeks. He could deal with her judgement, but the teasing was too much.
Nesta collected herself, as if considering everything Azriel had just admitted to - what it meant for her friend and her sister. "So that’s why both of you were brooding after Solstice? What did Rhysand say?”
Both of you. He knew had hurt Elain. He shouldn't have let things go so far. Azriel knew his High Lord wouldn’t have told anyone what happened, so he could lie. He could say Rhys called him away to spy or something, but he couldn’t let Nesta think it was intentional to leave Elain in the hall, hurt and confused. She was fiercely protective of her sisters. “I’ve been ordered to stay away from Elain," he finally said, unable to keep the weariness out of his voice.
“Because of Lucien?” Nesta asked. “She’s not his property.” Nesta’s anger was clear - whatever kernel of power she had left shone in her eyes. Even after accepting the bond, Nesta held on to her reservations against pressures of the mating bond, claiming I chose you, Cass. Elain hasn't chosen anyone, no matter how many presents the fireling brings, when Cassian had brought it up at dinner. The subject didn't come up again.
“No, she isn’t. But keeping Lucien happy is essential to half of our alliances. The Court can't risk losing Autumn, Spring, and Jurian and Vassa. It would only isolate us in the war that's coming.” Azriel forced his voice to remain level. A war was coming, it was stupid to pretend otherwise. As much as he hated that Elain was a pawn in all of this, it made sense to play things safe, to keep her safe.
Nesta looked like she was considering the risks and said, “Last I checked, Rhysand said there was always a choice here. It doesn't make sense to take Elain's away. This is bullshit." Her brows furrowed, and then she added, a bit of mischief in her tone, "You could always just glamour your scents - it's not like you haven't done that before.”
He shadows stretched toward her, dancing in the space between their chairs, amused that she seemed to know about his past lovers. Azriel just blinked at her, the only show of surprise he allowed. Nesta's reactions were always so unpredictable, even knowing the stories Cassian had likely told her. He couldn't acknowledge that comment - Azriel had been doing it for centuries to keep Cassian from hounding him about his whereabouts and details about his companions. Even if a glamour could work, he had already decided.
He would not disobey a direct order from his High Lord, especially after Rhys had mentioned the consequences. This was different than spying - he could count on one hand that amount of times Rhys had threatened him for disobeying. “I have my orders. I won’t go against them,” Azriel said.
He would stay away from her, if only for Rhys's sake. He would never repay the debt he owed his brother. For saving him. For sacrificing himself. For giving him this life. He would kill and torture and spy to keep him and his family safe, to let his brother have this happiness after years of pain, of shouldering a burden too big for any one to carry themselves.
Nesta looked at him, as if she saw each of the thoughts going through his head. “You deserve happiness too, Az.”
Azriel gave her a small smile, one he knew she would see through. He turned back to the reports in front of him, hoping this would end the conversation. A few minutes passed, and he could still feel Nesta watching him his shadows confirmed as much.
He met her gaze as she said. “I won’t say anything, even to Cassian. Thank you for trusting me.”
He nodded to her - he did trust Nesta. He trusted that Nesta had shown him the house’s heart was to show her own - to show how similar they were. Darkness that they could acknowledge, but keep in check. They both settled back into their reading in silence.
The clock struck 9: about time for Cassian's return. Mor would winnow him back to the house soon enough. Nesta rose, closing her book, and smoothing out her dress. As she walked toward the door, she gave him a conspirator's smile and half-whispered, “If I was still a betting woman, my money would be on you. I’ve never seen her look at anyone the way she looks at you. Not even that lordling”
Azriel couldn’t help but smile at the confidence in her tone. He didn't let himself wondering whether the lordling was Elain's mate or her former fiance. He was still in awe at how Nesta had gone from an angry and miserable person who lashed out any anyone who tried talking to her to this strong warrior who understood him, who would give everything for her family. If Nesta could come back from that dark place, maybe he could let himself hope.
Hours later, when Azriel had finally resigned to sleep and he settled into bed, he saw the medicine bottle and earbuds on his night stand. He had tucked both away into a drawer after Solstice, but the House must have decided to take matters into its own hands. The faelights blinked twice as if to say good night.
Nesta was right, the House was a gossip and a busybody. Azriel chuckled to himself, saying "Good Night House."
For the first time in months, Azriel finally slept.

do belgium! 💛
I will! Thank you for sending me my number 1 character Fizzy 💛 [From this ask game]
favorite thing about them: She looks super cute and is really kind.
least favorite thing about them: There’s not much else (canon-wise) than that. Which is fine for Hima, seeing as she’s just a side character, but I wish she had more of a personality. Any personality, really.
favorite line: “He’d probably even try to sell the weeds he finds down there.” (she says about her brother, Netherlands, after he explains how he sold all his tullip bulbs to other nations with sales talk like “this one is super rare” when they were left unsold in his own borders because they were plain, old, simple tullip bulbs.)
brOTP: Netherlands and Luxembourg (being her actual brothers) + Romano and Hungary as her best friends/gossip partners/confidants/etc...
OTP: EngBel (💚) and SpaBel (❤️)
nOTP: LuxBel (I was going to put NedBel here too, but I have this headcanon that there might’ve been something more between them once or twice in their long long lives... Lux came along a lot later and both Bel and Ned raised him so I can only see them being actual brother and sister to him.)
random headcanon: Belgium was the one who had the natural gift for trade, making her one of the most wealthiest countries in medieval Europe. Netherlands watched and learned. As did Luxembourg in later centuries. Even now I headcanon Belgium being the one with the most inovating ideas when it comes to her, the BeNeLux and even Europe’s economy.
unpopular opinion: I don’t like the blind devotion (clearly depicted as such by Hima) she has towards Netherlands. There is so much history between them, and a lot of it is bad. I love that one BeNeLux episode we got (with buff!Belgium my beloved) but this most likely takes place during either the Eighty Years War or the Thirty Years War and the way she talks to Lux about “big brother who’s working hard, let’s have faith in him” is just so... Huh??? Even if Bel (and Lux) didn’t have much say in it since she belonged to Spain, she and Ned were enemies??? He blockaded her most important harbor for CENTURIES, making her become poor, starving, practically destitute,... How in the world would she still be “aww big brother is such a good guy”??? And I know, I know, it’s a silly anime, mostly meant to be fun and light, but asfghgsfaghgs just let me rant :’)
song i associate with them: ‘Red’ by Thomas Bergersen (it’s a beautiful instrumental piece that starts slow but then it becomes alive, vivid, euphoric even and it makes me think of Belgium because I do believe that even after all she’s been through, she stays positive, warm and kind) and also ‘Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land’ by Marina (especially this part of the lyrics: “I am the observer, I'm a witness of life; I live in the space between the stars and the sky; What's your purpose, why were you put on Earth?; You could be lost but you belong to the world“)

Character ask: Hades and Persephone
I'll give my answers for the mythical characters, and in Hades' case, for Disney's Hercules. I'm not familiar with Hadestown despite it's popularity, so I have nothing to say about those versions of Hades and Persephone, or any other modern reimaginings.
Hades
Favorite thing about them: In classical mythology, I like the fact that, while stern and grim, he's a just god and not cruel, and has fewer stories of petty or sadistic deeds attached to him than most of the other gods and goddesses. It's too bad that modern Western culture tends to conflate him with the Christian Satan and portray him as the token evil god, because to the Greeks he wasn't.
In Disney's Hercules, even though he's a classic example of a demonized, Satan-conflated Hades, he's still one of the best Disney villains: a funny one with a witty "used car salesman" personality, yet imposing when he needs to be, and easy to "love to hate."
Least favorite thing about them: In mythology, the kidnapping of Persephone. In Disney's Hercules, the fact that he's a villain who tries to kill Hercules, imprison the other gods and goddesses, and take over Olympus.
Three things I have in common with them:
*I have dark hair, as he's traditionally described.
*I don't leave my home very often.
*Like Disney's Hades, I have a temper. (Though I don't literally blaze with fire.)
Three things I don't have in common with them:
*I'm female.
*I'm not a deity of the Underworld.
*I would never kidnap anyone.
Favorite line:
From The Homeric Hymn to Demeter:
"Go now, Persephone, to your dark-robed mother, go, and feel kindly in your heart towards me: be not so exceedingly cast down; for I shall be no unfitting husband for you among the deathless gods, that am own brother to father Zeus. And while you are here, you shall rule all that lives and moves and shall have the greatest rights among the deathless gods: those who defraud you and do not appease your power with offerings, reverently performing rites and paying fit gifts, shall be punished for evermore."
From Disney's Hercules:
"So is this an audience or a mosaic?"
"Memo to me: maim you after my meeting,"
"I've got twenty-four hours to get rid of this bozo, or the entire scheme I've been setting up for eighteen years goes up in smoke, and you are wearing his merchandise!!!"
"We dance, we kiss, we schmooze, we carry on, we go home happy. What do you say? Come on."
brOTP: His divine brothers and sisters, when they're not pitted against each other.
OTP: Persephone, in the versions of the myth where their marriage is ultimately happy.
nOTP: In Disney's Hercules, Meg. In mythology, well... I hope no one ever ships him with Cerberus!
Random headcanon: For Disney's Hercules: Even though the ending implies that he'll be trapped in the depths of the River Styx forever, I think he'll eventually get out. He can't drown, after all, he's immortal, and even if it takes him a few centuries, he'll eventually get out and cause trouble again. But he'll always be defeated in the end.
Unpopular opinion: While I agree that it's unfair to constantly demonize him, I also think it's fair to portray him as the antagonist of the Persephone myth and not romanticize her kidnapping. That said, I don't think retellings that romanticize their marriage are inherently bad and problematic either – it all depends on how the story is told. But either way, I do think it's high time that mythology adaptations stop portraying him as the single dark, cruel god in contrast to the benevolent, shining Olympians. That's distorting the myths through a Christian lens. Zeus and most of the other Olympians also chased and kidnapped unwilling love interests, and did many even worse deeds too. They're all morally gray.
Song I associate with them: None in particular.

And in a drastic change from the elegance above, these pictures from Disney's Hercules:

Persephone
Favorite thing about them: Her status as a nature goddess who embodies the changing seasons makes her a fascinating character. Not only does she split her time between the upper world and the Underworld, but as a result she has a dual personality – the gentle, sunny goddess of spring, and the stern, feared queen of the dead – which makes her unique among the Greek deities.
Least favorite thing about them: The fact that in some versions of the story of Minthe (the nymph who became the first mint plant after her death), she brutally kills the poor nymph out of jealousy of Hades' affair with her. Fortunately, not all versions of the myth go this way – in another version, it's Demeter who kills Minthe for boasting that she's more beautiful than Persephone.
Three things I have in common with them:
*I have both a light side and a dark side.
*I'm close to my mother.
*I like pomegranates.
Three things I don't have in common with them:
*I'm not married.
*I've never been kidnapped.
*I'm not a goddess.
Favorite line:
Her account of her kidnapping from The Homeric Hymn to Demeter:
"We were playing and gathering sweet flowers in our hands, soft crocuses mingled with irises and hyacinths, and rose-blooms and lilies, marvellous to see, and the narcissus which the wide earth caused to grow yellow as a crocus. That I plucked in my joy; but the earth parted beneath, and there the strong lord, the Host of Many, sprang forth and in his golden chariot he bore me away, all unwilling, beneath the earth: then I cried with a shrill cry. All this is true, sore though it grieves me to tell the tale."
brOTP: Her mother Demeter (in traditional versions of the myth where they have a warm, loving bond, not the versions where Demeter is controlling and Persephone is glad to escape from her), and the nymphs with whom she plays and picks flowers just before Hades kidnaps her.
OTP: Hades, in the versions of the myth where their marriage is ultimately happy.
nOTP: Her father Zeus. Brother/sister incest and uncle/niece or aunt/nephew incest might be normal for Greek gods and goddesses, but not parental incest!
Random headcanon: This isn't a headcanon so much as "which of the different versions of her myth I like best." I prefer the Homeric Hymn to Demeter's claim that Persephone spends just four months each year with Hades, and eight months with Demeter, to Ovid's claim that she spends six months with each. In versions where she's happily married to Hades, then I can accept the equal time split, but if we take the traditional view that she was kidnapped and married against her will, then I prefer for her to spend most of the year on earth and only a small amount of time in the Underworld. Besides, in my experience at least (though I know climates vary), autumn is a pleasant time, with comfortable weather and with so many fruits and vegetables at their best. It makes more sense to me that Persephone should still be with Demeter then.
Unpopular opinion: I'm open to different interpretations of her story. There's no such thing as "one true meaning" of any myth. I can accept versions where Hades is sympathetic, where Persephone falls truly in love with him (whether she starts out as his prisoner but then is slowly drawn to to him, a la Beauty and the Beast, or whether she goes with him willingly from the start), where she comes into her own power as his queen, and where she willingly eats the pomegranate seeds, knowing full well that they'll bind her to Hades, because she wants to stay. I see the appeal of taking Persephone's traditional story of helpless victimhood and making it empowering instead – which is valid, because she's always portrayed as a powerful queen in the myths of the Underworld set after her marriage. I see the appeal of not demonizing Hades either, and of telling a romantic love story rather than a story of a miserable forced marriage. But I also see the value of versions where Hades is the villain, where Persephone is brutally kidnapped and just as unhappy in the Underworld as Demeter is on earth without her daughter, where she's either forced to eat the pomegranate seeds or naïvely eats them without knowing what the result will be, and where the ending is bittersweet, as she divides each year between happy months with her mother and sad months in the Underworld. It is valid to read the myth as an allegory for the pain of a mother and daughter separated by the daughter's loveless arranged marriage, and/or for a young girl's death and her mother's grief. Myths can be retold in many ways, with many possible meanings. I'm open to them all.

I read the new chapter. As usual is was amazing!
also, something I love about your writing is how you always teach a lesson. I'm always learning while reading and I love that. You always teach something through your writing. Thank you for constantly teaching us and helping us learn, and to be better.
Now, can I say the Lightwood-Bane siblings own my whole heart! Like, Rafe calling Max a "lil shit" was hilarious and definitely spot on sibling rep.
Consul Alec is superior!
The Lightwood-Banes are prescious and amazing and beautiful.
Jace and Clary had done well.
^ not me crying at this.
“So, we love them. We love them every day. So, they remember there is good in the world,” Alec said. “We love them so much that in a century or two when they think of shadowhunters they will think of love. Not that room. Not those people. They will think of us. They will think of you and me.”
^ do you want to see me cry? Is that the goal here? You want to see Bec sobbing on the floor?
He knew Magnus would love him until the day Alec passed. But would Magnus be attracted to him till his last day?
^ I want you to know I literally said "Magnus will always see you as that boy with the dark hair and blue eyes, you dork."
David is literally most precious thing, like I want to cry. He's so precious. Also is he going to use a bow and arrow like Alec? Because that would be cool, but if David ends up not wanting to fight that would be cool too. And Clary and Jace would be proud of him no matter what he chooses, I just know.
Simon being amazing at running the Academy is no surprise. We been knew he'd be great at it. But the way he's teaching them about Downworlder history and about Downworlders has me so proud. He literally is changing things just like he said back in his Academy days. George would so proud.
Izzy being the weapons master of the Clave is so fitting. Also, her being the only one to know where the Iron Sisters are and the only one who can get in contact with them, is something that can be so personal. They're biased because they like Izzy so much, I said what I said 😌
Jace teaching his kids all kinds of stuff is very Jace of him. God, I love him. Also, I feel like he prefers to teach them about books, music, and languages at first and then teach them how to fight. As much as Jace loves being a Shadowhunter and fighting, I feel he probably prefers his kids not learning until they are 13, idk it's just something I feel.
Clary being a badass artist is the best! I love her! She literally is a Shadowhunter and an artist, she's both. I love her.
Magnus and Alec being in love as ever. These two. Also, apparently Sagittarius and Virgo are amazing match. And guess what? Magnus is a Sagittarius and Alec is a Virgo. Obviously, they're perfect for each other either way, but there's that too.
Diego is the best Inquisitor we've seen, I said what I said. But also, he seems like a good dad.
Alec and Tessa brotp had my heart.
Also, I can't imagine any of that was easy for Tessa, all the memories that probably resurfaced.
Also, also the way Alec is literally changing everything even tho people don't like it. He said "I don't care." But also the way tmi gang are helping, and how they are all so different and have grown so much.
Fuck the cohort! Fuck those cruel Shadowhunters!
Dude, I keep forgetting that this isn't canon that I'm reading.
Max and David are adorable. I can't wait to read more about them.
Is Rafe interested in a certain Inquisitor's daughter? I don't usually like to force these things, but I'm getting some vibes. If not then that's cool too, but yee. Honestly, their brotp could be good as well. I hope to see more of Rafe and Anjali.
Max really is a handful, isn't he? I love him.
Magnus and Alec are in trouble with their boys.
I want to hug the Lightwood-Banes. Most of all I want to give Max a big hug.
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE! BUT ALAS I DON'T WANT TO QUOTE EVERYTHING.
This is LITERALLY amazing.
Thank you so much bebe 🥺🥺🥺
My ravenclaw ass is incapable of writing fics without putting in lessons lmao. My dream of writing crack fics remain a dream 🤭
And you REALLY need to do astrology posts for tsc characters I would love that 😍🤭😎
And here is a stock image of Jace and David. They are baking cookies for Clary and the twins 🥺

jessica telephone!
alright. I’m going to attempt—ATTEMPT—to be remotely normal and not explode in this post. jess is probably my all time favorite character, and means a lot to me, and that is kind of embarrassing but. whatever.
favorite thing about them: her character concept is just so everything to me, specifically her whole time travel thing, and her time travel stuff is rly integral to her character to me. a time traveler girl who can time travel to the 80’s of every century?? that’s so ridiculous and I love it. I’m convinced her original character concept had to have been a Doctor Who joke except in some convoluted way that implies that actually, the thing that is inherent about doctor who is that phones can time travel and you know what? Maybe they fuckin can. Maybe so. But like…the fact that that character concept also evolved with her in my head and then what you have eventually is this washed up starlet who was once the most famous girl in the world and once made everyone see the intensity of the fire she carried around inside her…it’s so much. I also like that I can draw her by going like (:::0 0)]. That’s very good to me.
Least favorite thing about them: That to so many people she’s a joke. That people think of “JT” and either think of people fighting over her or her being some sort of oversexualized hyper popular waifu, to the point that she was shunted from team to team and nobody wanted her until she finally met her end and they shipped what was left home? That breaks my heart, and it didn’t have to be like that. In the end, the trajectory she went on makes sense for her character, and it’s this really compelling story (to me it’s like, would you have wanted it to end any other way?) but like…man did it have to go like that dhbsbdbdbdb
Favorite line: God, it’s gotta be the end of Day X. It’s gotta be. I love Pods Jess so much. She’s so important to me.
Tumblr media
Brotp: I’ve always thought it’s hard for Jess to make friends to some extent but I think that as a mint she and Twooney found some common ground. They’re both strange and they’re both one out of two. I also wrote a whole fic, which is a little outdated but still, about how she was friends with P4rker for a few days and his death hit her hard when she witnessed it.
Otp: god all my otp answers are about ships that got together and broke up and I’m continuing the train. I wrote about Jess and Paula Turnip, who I think dated while she was a Tiger and then broke up when Jess ghosted her after she feedbacked. And then they stayed bitter for YEARS and years and years.
Notp: I can’t do the has 37 wives thing, mostly because I cannot see her ever getting married. I think she’s had a lot of flings over her time but I can’t see her settling down like that.
Random headcanon: I’ve always seen her as being some ambiguous sort of part mechanical with her phone buttons on her face and her connection to the Dial Tone. I think if you startle her she beeps and makes a phone noise. I think that all of that is part of why it was absolutely brutal for her when she lost the Dial Tone and why that was a point of no return because it was like a part of her—and a part of how she perceived and conceptualized the world through her free-range time travel—that was cut away. Also, I think her nails are made out of the same material as her face buttons so it always looks like she has red painted nails, but they’re just like that.
Unpopular opinion: Jess is more than just Seb’s sister and her story is more than “the girl with the dead brother.” I know that people probably don’t think of it in those exact words but I just like…her only character trait is NOT just “I’m sad because I have a dead brother and I’m not famous anymore.” It’s part of why I will never think that her alt, who I have all sorts of complicated thoughts about, is “from Seb’s universe.” It just doesn’t fit to me. (I’m also gonna use this as a chance to plug Skates’s DIE TRYING and let’s tear up this rotten world together : two INCREDIBLE fanworks that explore her story from a lot of different angles and get into why the whole relationship between her and Seb and the alted Seb is so complex. Seriously, read these fics.) Oh also: I hate calling her JT.
Song I associate with them; take my playlist and go bro
Favorite picture of them: I’ve been mostly going with arts I have made here just because I don’t wanna repost someone else’s art but the first ever art I did of her when she feedbacked from the Tigers has a big place in my heart.

“Across Time And Space”
Summary:  When Yasmin Khan finds herself stuck away from the Doctor in the early twentieth century, she has a lot of worry about. Luckily, Dan Lewis is there with an encouraging word. (Missing moment from Episode 5 of Flux, with a BROTP between Dan and Yaz, and a hint of Thirteen/Yaz)
~~~~~~~~~~
                       Read on FFN.                                   Read on AO3.
~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, this is a little different than what I normally write, but I wanted to create something Doctor Who/Thasmin related before the New Years Day special gets released. Anyway, here is my first little foray in writing Doctor Who fics; hope you like it!
Whovians, please go easy on me; I've tried my best to write the characters as best I can, but this is completely new territory for me.
~~~~~~~~~~
Yasmin Khan yawned, and leaned back in her chair.
Dan Lewis was sat in a chair nearby, reading a newspaper. Professor Jericho had gone to have a shave.
It had been a few days since they had all found themselves stuck the early twentieth century without the TARDIS, and it was slowly starting to sink in. They were stuck in a time period that none of them knew. Jericho wouldn’t be even born for another twenty years, Dan’s family had only recently emigrated from Ireland to Liverpool, and Yaz’s family were still living in India under the British Raj.
It was a pretty difficult adjustment to make.
Not to mention… what had happened to the Doctor.
Yaz felt her heart beat painfully with worry. She had been separated from the Doctor before but this… this was different. Things had changed a lot since then. A lot of things had changed since she had started travelling alone with the Doctor. Feelings had changed. Grown stronger. They had always been there, but they had been easier to push down before.
She couldn’t do that anymore. It was too painful. Especially when the Doctor never seemed to… open up, or tell Yaz about her past. Yaz had stood in the burning ruins of the Doctor’s home planet, and yet the Doctor still didn’t want to tell her things. Even when it had been just the two of them travelling, the Doctor never gave Yaz the full story. Despite the fact that they trusted each other with their lives, the Doctor didn’t trust Yaz with her past. It… it had hurt more than Yaz could admit. Because she cared for the Doctor more than she could quite admit, even to herself.
And now… now the Doctor was gone. Stuck somewhere across time and space, with no way for Yaz to know what was happening to her, or even if she was… she was…
‘Y’alright, Yaz?’
She looked up. Dan had folded up his paper, and had leaned forward towards her, his eyes full of concern.
‘Me? Fine.’
‘Didn’t look fine to me,’ the scouser continued, quietly. ‘Looked to me like you was worrying about the Doctor again.’
Bollocks. So much for not showing her emotions on her face.
‘Okay, scouse; you got me,’ she said, sighing. ‘I am.’
Dan nodded, in understanding.
‘We’ll find her. Don’t worry; we’ll get you back to her.’
‘Thanks,’ Yaz replied, although she found it difficult to believe him. ‘I… I really miss her. And… well, I miss my family. My sister, my mum and dad. Before, I knew the Doctor could always drop me off home whenever I asked, but now…’
‘Yeah,’ Dan said, nodding. ‘The last me mam and dad saw of me was going after the Sontarans in the Liverpool Docks. They probably don’t know what happened to me.’
Yaz smiled.
‘Don’t worry; the Doctor can get us back to just after we left.’
Dan nodded.
‘I suppose. Hopefully, we can find Di along the way.’
‘The woman you were going on that date with?’
Dan seemed to flush a little.
‘Yeah. She’s… she’s pretty great. I haven’t met someone like her since… well, my fiancé.’
Yaz stared at him.
‘You were engaged?’
‘Yeah,’ Dan said. ‘But… well, it didn’t work out. She called it off a few days before the wedding.’
‘What?’ Yaz exclaimed, shocked. ‘Why?’
Dan shrugged.
‘Dunno. Never found out. Guess some couples just don’t make it.’
Yaz sighed, and picked a piece of bread off the nearby table. She took a bite of the bread, mulling it over and trying to ignore how weird it tasted compared to the modern stuff she was used to.
‘But…’ Dan continued. ‘Some couples do. Make it, I mean. My parents, for one, and… well, you and the Doctor.’
Yaz choked on the bread. Coughing and spluttering, she felt her face burn. What? What was Dan-
‘M-me and the Doctor?’ she gasped, her heart suddenly hammering very fast. ‘D-don’t talk bloody daft! We’re… we’re just friends!’
‘Really?’
Dan stared at her, his face the very picture of confusion.
‘What do you mean “really”?’
‘Well…’ Dan said, looking a little awkward. ‘I mean, I just assumed, like. What with you getting so upset when she got recalled back to that division thing.’
Yaz found herself dumbstruck, both at that awful memory and of how, in that moment, she had been out of her mind with worry for the Doctor. If Dan hadn’t stopped her, she would have run through that portal to the 1960s and been immediately destroyed. All she had thought about was getting to the Doctor. Nothing else seemed to matter.
‘Well…’ Dan said. ‘The Doctor’s very lucky to have you, either way. And I’m sure she knows it.’
Yaz smiled, even as her heart continued to beat with worry.
What was happening to the Doctor? Was she even still alive? Where was she? And how would Yaz find her? There was all of time and space to search, how could she possibly-
‘We’ll find her, Yaz,’ Dan said, pulling Yaz back into the present. ‘Don’t worry; we will.’
‘You… you reckon?’
Dan nodded.
‘Course. The Doctor needs you, Yaz, and I bet she misses you just as much as you miss her.’
Yaz’s brain whirred at his choice of words. How could he… no, he couldn’t know about the hologram. Yaz had found it in her pocket after their first night stuck in the past, and she hadn’t showed it to either Dan or the professor, or even Peggy before they’d found a guardian for her. It felt… well, private. Something that the Doctor wanted only her to see. Something just between the two of them.
‘Yeah,’ Yaz said, quietly. ‘I think she does, too.’
~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for reading, everyone! Hope you enjoyed my first little foray into writing Doctor Who fanfics!

DGS!!
Japanese trio + Barok!!!
Ryuu 1) Sexuality: Bisexual! 2) OTP: We all know it's Ryuususa lol <3 3) BroTP: I love his interactions with Sherlock, especially the dance of deductions! Those are my favorite parts of the game! 4) NoTP: I'm going to get a lot of flack for this omgggg As/Ryu/.... It's a lovely ship, I'm sure I would have loved it, but I've had some choice interactions with some of the more..... entitled..... fans, so it's just got a bitter taste in my mouth 5) Headcanon: The man is JACKED. So this is semi canon, but he's really in Kyudou, and I like to think that nobody thinks he would be due to his permanent baby face syndrome but he is JACKED 6) Second-Hand Embarrassment: That little "tap" he does when he's not confident, never fails to make me cackle 7) Relatable Moment: I relate to his impostor syndrome a lot, especially on my bad days, but despite it all, I try my best to power through, there's always a brighter day <3 8) Cinnamon Roll! ^-^ Susato 1) Sexuality: Bisexual because I project onto my faves lol 2) OTP: Ryuususa! 3) BroTP: I love her interactions with Iris! Not only is it a fangirl's dream, they also have those fun sister vibes, and I think it's really adorabl! 4) NoTP: More flack lmaooo Sus/Ha/, once again, entitled people have put an otherwise lovely ship on my "I would rather not" list 5) Headcanon: She gets to be an attorney in her own right! After years of activism, and debate, and proving herself, she gets to be an attorney with her own name! 6) Second-Hand Embarrassment: The Susato Takedown was funny the first few times, but then it started to get flanderized ^^" 7) Relatable Moment: I am a fangirl, and I really love the Sherlock Holmes stories (Baskervilles is my favorite!). I'm a huge bookworm, and I'm trying to get back into reading for fun! 8) CINNAMON ROLL Kazuma 1) Sexuality: Queer 2) OTP: ..... I kind of have a crack ship but other than that, I don't really have an OTP for him lmaoo 3) BroTP: Ryuu's relationship is something that is so interesting to explore. They care for each other greatly, words can hardly describe it (I mean, I'm not BLIND, I see it all lol), and I really do think there's a lot I can explore there! 4) NoTP: As/Ryu/ 5) Headcanon: Modern!AU Kazuma would SO be into the Steel Samurai, and unironically 6) Second-Hand Embarrassment: The way he treated Ryuu and Susato in the latter half of DGS 2.... they deserve to be mad because that treatment is unacceptable no matter what :T (He might actually be more chill in the localization, this is going off of the subbed playthrough I watched, so I might change my opinion) 7) Relatable Moment: I am also a rude bitch with floofy hair 8) Sinnamon Roll Barok 1) Sexuality: Demiromantic Demisexual 2) OTP: Hell yeah I will do OC x Canon, because it's my blog and my sandbox and my barbie dolls to mash together! I'm very attatched and I hope to introduce this OC sometime in the near future when I get around to working on an AU I've been planning! If I had to choose canon, it's Sherlock, solely for the bitter ex boyfriend vibes XD 3) BroTP: Benjamin/Albert! I think he deserves an unhinged mad scientist friend... as a treat 4) NoTP: None really come to mind...? I guess Vortex x Barok? It's a really interesting ship, and an interesting dynamic, and I think anyone who writes for it is braver and more creative than me! ^-^ I guess NoTP is a little strong... I don't think I could do it justice, so it's kind of a "meh *shrug*" ship 5) Headcanon: He's left-handed, especially when you see where his sword is! He can write with his right-hand because Victorian Era schooling was just like that (tm), but he doesn't like it. He uses his right-hand for official documents, but his left for personal letters and notes! 6) Second-Hand Embarrassment: I mean, yeah, the racism. I think that's par for the course when you are a 21st century person looking in at a work that is supposed to take place over 100 years prior. 7) Relatable Moment: I, too, am a depressed ass goth ass bitch who desperately wants to be a vampire. In all seriousness, he's a very lonely character, and I do
relate to that a lot, especially with current events.... he reminds me of how I was during my hardest days, so I guess it's why he's a major comfort character for me.... granted I use him as my personal punching bag soooo there's that? XD 8) Problematic Fave (affectionate)

Nesta x Rhysand brotp headcanon
2021 and people still fighting about who's worse, so lemme write some hc:
What trully bonded them, besides Nyx, was music;
Rhys helped Nesta to play violin and piano. He saw his sister in her.
Sometimes he accompanies her. Azriel and Gwyn singing in the background.
They also play chess quite oftenly;
Sometimes it ends in both fighting —although Rhys really try to not;
To make peace, Rhys usually buys a gift for her;
Sometimes it's something nasty, others are something really usefull;
They're very honest with each other. Like, very.
They (at least Nesta) don't care if the true is gonna hurt, or if someone is being a stupid bitch, they'll call each other out.
Mainly when the issue is their own mate.
But if you try to insult one of them when the other is around, things will go dangerous.
Rhys will defend her as if she was his sister.
But she is now, so whatever.
