Character thang: mithrun! And falin:3 if u want

GRINS just doing mithrun for now might rb this later and add on falin thoughts....

favorite thing about them

honestly just his whole arc being a pretty blatant abuse/depression metaphor combined with like. some of the most realistic disabled writing ive seen in fantasy. like i remember reading dunmeshi for the first time and pogging about seeing a character with ptosis because i NEVER see that shit outside of my own ocs and also some of the stuff discussed about him like. having a weird sense of direction (which is partially bc of dungeon lord business but also iirc he is stated to have weird walking/gesture patterns so!) and not really being aware of his own energy or triggers.... like it hits very close to home for me as a chronically fatigued guy with bad balance and bad eyesight and its just really nice to see someone like me portrayed in like. a way which doesnt exaggerate mithrun's disability as laughable or tragic in a very unsympathetic way. like the way the canaries accommodate him and the way his arc finishes up (+ the little chats he has with marcille....) i think its very sweet very comforting. ive just been very into him recently after like. coming to terms with being abused by an ex and going through the whole rollercoaster of emotions that comes with that. like. ughhh. i saw this thread recently and it keeps swimming around in my mind. its good

least favorite thing about them

i guess like the dude's bigotry but considering other chapters in the adventurer's bibble he seems to be self aware of it? its kind of an unexplored facet of him altogether.... and at the same time i think it informs a lot of like. the inherent supremacist ideas elf culture harbors.

favorite line

brOTP

reiterating what i said when i answered these qs with kabru. i think they both have a very funny dynamic that i wouldnt even necessarily describe as platonic or friendly theyre just very good inverse masks of one another.... makes for entertaining scenes in a way i really respect

also as i mentioned i think him and marcille getting to know one another post-story and talking out dungeon lord feelings is nice....

OTP

i think he has more important things to worry about

nOTP

him and kabru. as i said i think its funnier if theyre just two blokes forced to talk to each other. they wouldve never conversed willingly and that makes so many of their discussions interesting....

random headcanon

i think im just too picky about the anime LOL but im not too fond of the voice hes been given based on the previews. they did that breathy anime twink shit to him. i think he sounds like he smokes 20 cigarettes a day personally

unpopular opinion

i think the fact i dont like yaoi with him in it is unpopular enough i feel. oh uh i also think like. the few scenes where he shows off like. genuine bursts of aggression and violence are really fucking interesting and everyones far too keen on dismissing him as like. A Numb Mindless Boytoy like hey. think about this dude for a second as like an individual please.

song i associate with them

SIGH i have so much to say about this one. thats for another day though

favorite picture of them

sketches here are forever lodged in my mind theyre cutes. i like his shitty little ponytail here LOL

30 Day OTP Challenge: Cuddling

Sherlock had to stay in hospital for a few days as the doctors wanted to keep a close eye on him. When the fire was put out fully, Moriarty and two of his snipers were found dead in the debris. It seemed Sherlock had managed to rid the world of a dangerous threat yet again, but this time it almost cost him his life.

The first night John had to go home to shower and sleep. As he lay in bed, he thought about everything that had happened a mere day before, and what was to come. He felt bad about leaving Sherlock at the hospital if he was honest. They had gotten word that Mycroft would be giving them a briefing of what steps would be taken next in a day or so, and John didn’t want Sherlock to have to face the scolding alone. It was as much his fault as Sherlock’s that they ended up in that situation.

After three hours of lying there with sleep nowhere in sight, John sat on the side of his bed and looked down at his feet. It was amazing that only a few months ago he had been a limping, depressed man with no purpose, and now he was the flatmate of a man with an incredible mind. That first night of them living together had been one of the best nights of his life. True, he had been shut down by Sherlock when John was about to ask him out, but the chase and tracking had well made up for that.

Thing was, the feelings John had never really faded away. He had thought about possibly telling Sherlock that he was bisexual and fancied him, except Sherlock showed absolutely no interest in anyone or anything except the Work. John had tried dating in order to get over Sherlock’s rejection, but no one had grabbed his attention like the detective had. If only John was able to get through Sherlock’s defenses, maybe, just maybe, something could happen.

Right before John got up to make some herbal tea, he got a text on his phone. Who the hell would be texting him-? Sherlock, it had to be Sherlock. John took his phone off the charger and as he thought, it was Sherlock. The text read,

[Come to hospital. Bored. –SH]

Not wanting a repeat of the wall incident, John got dressed and got a cab to the hospital. It was around 3 am when he arrived, which meant Sherlock hadn’t slept. John went inside and asked which room Sherlock was in. He had been moved to a different room on the third floor, and when a nurse asked who John was visiting on the elevator, it seemed that the detective had tormented the staff enough that a grimace appeared on the nurse’s face.

On the third floor, John merely had to follow the sound of scathing deductions to find Sherlock’s room. By the time he got there, a woman in scrubs was crying while pushing a computer monitor with her. She must have done something to piss Sherlock off big time if she was in tears. John managed to enter the room without further encounters and saw Sherlock was on his right side toward the door, a look of distaste on his face. John sighed,

“Couldn’t go a day without ripping the staff apart?”

“They’re all idiots.” Sherlock said. “They persist in trying to start conversations with me, discussing topics that don’t even matter.”

John merely sat down in a chair next to Sherlock’s bed.

“They’re trying to be decent human beings to their patients, it’s not a crime to try to be nice.”

“Since when has ‘trying to be nice’ included complimenting me in a way that could only be described as being ‘chatted up’?”

The nurses… hit on Sherlock? True, he was a very attractive man, but that broke lots of medical guidelines and rules. No wonder Sherlock was in such a piss-poor mood.

“You could report it if you’d like.” John offered. “That breaches code of conduct for staff to patients. They could be doing the same thing to other patients.”

“The difference being other patients would be stupid enough to have their confidence boosted by the attempts at flirting.” Sherlock shifted his position so he was on his front. “It truly reveals that someone is shallow and lonely when they’re willing to flirt with their patients.”

Well, John couldn’t argue with that. However, Sherlock could have misinterpreted the compliments as flirting when they were just being nice. John tended to compliment patients at times, but it was strictly in a friendly manner.

For about two hours the two started discussing random topics ranging from deductions of the other staff, to how Sherlock had answered some cases via email on his phone. John started to get a bit drowsy by the end of those two hours and said he was going to go home to sleep, but Sherlock stopped him as he was about to walk out.

“John.”

“Hm?”

“The covers they gave me are rubbish, and at this point I need physical human contact to be comfortable.” Sherlock put down one of the railings on his bed and scooted over. “Come help me warm up.”

John couldn’t help the blush that ran over his cheeks at Sherlock’s request. Sherlock was basically asking to cuddle in his bed. How could he ask that so casually without being embarrassed? This man was an enigma that John couldn’t understand most times. He cleared his throat.

“Why not ask one of the nurses for a heating pad?”

“If I wish to turn over, the bed will be heated in all areas, not simply my own spot.”

John saw something in Sherlock’s eyes that betrayed that line of logic. It was almost… fear. Was Sherlock afraid to be left alone? There were many things Sherlock Holmes was known for: being clever, pissing people off, deducing someone to pieces, but never was he afraid. The whole explosion thing must have really shaken him up.

Instead of pointing out that he was lying, John simply took off his coat and shoes and awkwardly got into the bed next to Sherlock. He made sure to face away from his friend so that it would be less awkward. Thing was, he didn’t expect Sherlock to suddenly turn onto his side and rest his front against John’s back. It suddenly made the soldier acutely aware that there was only a flimsy hospital gown separating himself from Sherlock’s body. It wasn’t exactly arousing, just… constant.

They laid there in silence for a few minutes, simply experiencing the moment. It was weird, almost surreal for John. He had never imagined being in a bed (well, hospital bed) with Sherlock for the night. However, Sherlock being Sherlock, had to be blunt and get to the point.

“You seemed to like when I held your hand in the ambulance.” Sherlock observed.

Even when he was in pain, he had observed John’s comfort in that action. No doubt he also deduced how John felt as a whole. John sighed. He might as well not deny it,

“Yeah, I did.”

“And you have been dating women below your standard since you moved in. Even Sarah is more of a good friend rather than a girlfriend. You also haven’t been trying to fully commit to any of the girls you have dated, and all of them have said they were competing with me.” Sherlock wrapped his arms around John lightly. “You are attracted to me.”

John shivered from the sudden contact and the affirmation. He wasn’t surprised that Sherlock had figured it out, but how long he had known would be the important question. If only he could see Sherlock’s face, even if it was covered by the classic Holmes mask.

“How long have you known?”

“Since you asked me about my love life the first night. However, it seems the attraction has grown from physical to emotional since then.”

“Yeah, it has.”

“And you haven’t pursued me since then. Why?”

There were honestly a multitude of reasons why John didn’t ask Sherlock to date, but it was mostly because of the way he acted. He didn’t even react when Molly would flirt with him or ask him on a low-key date. That was the biggest red flag that Sherlock didn’t date.

“You don’t date at all, you don’t even like caring about people. I thought you just weren’t interested in relationships, so... I didn’t say anything.”

Sherlock pulled John closer to him, almost possessively.

“Well your assumption was incorrect. I have in fact had romantic relationships in my life, though The Work had overshadowed that need for years.”

John was shocked, to say the least. There’d been no indication in the past that Sherlock would be interested in that kind of thing. The fact that he had even done that in the past was shocking. Sherlock usually acted like that was beneath him in some way.

“And now?”

“Now there is a candidate that I am considering to be my significant other. He helps me immensely with The Work, makes me adhere to my body’s needs for sleep and sustenance, and reprimands me when I have broken a social norm.”

He’s… he’s talking about me. In his life (or rather the past few years), John hadn’t expected Sherlock to be interested in him. John never thought of himself as anything special. He was an average bloke who had served his country as a doctor, nothing more. Sherlock was a genius beyond his time, socially inept, yes, but cleverer than John could ever be. The question was, what would happen now that they admitted their feelings for each other.

“So… what now?” John asked.

“Well it is fairly obvious you haven’t had a relationship with a man before (or rather a serious one), so we shall start with what people would call ‘seeing each other’. I believe that is when someone is romantically attached to another but instead of officially becoming a couple, they go on dates, share romantic gestures, things of that nature.” Sherlock paused. “Unless my attempt at cuddling is making you uncomfortable.”

“No, it’s fine, it’s all fine.” John held onto Sherlock’s hands with a smile. “Whatever you want it to be, I’m fine with it.”

And he meant that. Sherlock was willing to give a relationship a chance. That was incredible in itself. Granted, the circumstances could have been better for them to start dating, but what was their life without a little danger in it?

They fell asleep in peaceful silence.

Cor x Michelle Ship Things :P

So, I made this post on my blog around a week ago- and since we’re submitting headcanons… I thought why not submit this self-indulgent post here? xD

Let’s get some self-indulgent ship things going xD

who hogs the duvet

There’s no arguing it- it’s Moosh 100%. Cor doesn’t get cold anyways- but when he does, he just moves closer to Moosh and holds her to get his warmth. He’s never complained about this (ugh, what a sweetie pie).

who texts/rings to check how their day is going:

You’d think it’s Moosh- but no. When she’s at work actually doing work and not confined to her desk she doesn’t let her concentration stray at all. She’s focused on her work- one-track mind. Cor’s usually the one who ends up calling in the middle of the day, around lunch time, to check up on Moosh and make sure that she’s had something to eat and is keeping safe <3

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts:

Moosh and Cor are both shit at gift-giving. No joke, the most creative they’ve gotten is buying a different kind of perfume/cologne from the norm for the other. That perfume/cologne is collecting dust on their shared dresser.

who gets up first in the morning:

Cor. Moosh is not a morning person *sigh*

who suggests new things in bed:

*Reads @itshaejinju‘s Cor smut* I think it’s Moosh (¬‿¬)

who cries at movies:

Moosh. It’s ridiculous- she cries when things are sad, she cries with things are happy, she cries when things are hilarious, she cries when things are aggravating- Cor always carries tissues when he and Moosh venture into the cinema.

who gives unprompted massages:

It’s a tie between Cor and Moosh- Moosh is pretty proud of her massage skills so she’s always just randomly giving Cor massages when he’s sitting idly. And Cor likes to massage Moosh’s feet after a long day at work, despite the fact that Moosh always insists she’s fine. He just likes to take care of her <3 *omg dawwwwwwwwwwww!*

who fusses over the other when they’re sick:

Moosh goes CRAZY when Cor’s sick. Honestly, she has him bed bound, she’s making soup, she’s giving head massages, she’s singing lullabies… good lord, she becomes a fully fledged mother hen!

Cor… well, he tries to fuss over Moosh. He ends up burning the soup though, and calling Ignis for help. *lmao @cupnoodle-queen *

who gets jealous easiest:

Honestly? Moosh. She’s just really good at hiding it. When she’s jealous- she becomes really quiet, but smiles A LOT. She feigns illness and escapes the room/general vicinity so she doesn’t have to see other *more attractive* women fawn over Cor. She ends up in tears somewhere hidden and away from everyone.

Somehow Cor always knows she’s been crying.

who has the most embarrassing taste in music:

Both Moosh forces Cor to listen to corny pop music. And kpop. And country. Because she loves it all! Cor can only grin and bear it. What a top bloke! <3

who collects something unusual:

Cor collects special edition cup noodles. Moosh isn’t supposed to know, but she was going on one of her cleaning tirades whilst Cor was out on a mission and, well, she uncovered the goods.

He’s got 20 different types of cup noodles. Like… what are you gonna do with so many cup noodles in the back of your sock drawer? :O

who takes the longest to get ready:

Neither. Moosh irons all her clothes on the weekend, as does Cor. Including morning routine, and dressing- Cor and Moosh both take around 10 minutes.

who is the most tidy and organised:

Cor. Moosh = organised chaos. She’s a mess- Cor has expressed his concerns rather sternly a number of times, and this is caused a few minor arguments between the two. But Moosh always ends up cleaning up her messes (usually just paper clutter on her desk)- though she whines about not being about to find anything later on.

who gets most excited about the holidays:

Cor, because he’s actually been dying to spend time with his workaholic Mooshie Moosh xD

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

Cor’s big spoon. He won’t have it any other way xD

who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports:

OH SHIT, IT’S MOOSH. SHE GETS BORDERLINE VIOLENT OMFG POOR COR LMAO!

who starts the most arguments:

Arguments are very rare- but they’re usually started by Cor being overly concerned about Moosh. He ends up sounding a little controlling, and Moosh doesn’t take that kind of shit tbh :/ (but low key feels flattered after the make-up sex and the sweet words Cor utters into her ears about how sorry he is for what he’s said- she also ends up feeling bad).

who suggests that they buy a pet:

Moosh has always wanted a puppy. The moment she moves in with Cor, that’s when the begging for a puppy starts. Lots of pouting ensues.

what couple traditions they have:

- Cor always wakes Moosh up with a kiss to the brow “rise and shine soldier~” his voice rasps.

- Moosh makes both their lunches in the morning and prepares a quick breakfast of anything that comes to mind. It’s always very simple.

- Cor always texts Moosh at lunch time. He frets when he doesn’t get an answer.

- Moosh clings to Cor whenever they’re out in public and at first, Cor was embarrassed, but he’s used to it now.

- Saturday nights… don’t invite these two out on a social date or anything because they have plans ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

- right after a hot session, Moosh never fails to cry a little at how LUCKY she is to have Cor. That results in a lot of cuddles and kisses and some incredulous laughter: “Honestly Moosh, if you cry every time I’m going to think I’m doing something terribly wrong.”

what tv shows they watch together:

Cor and Moosh hardly watch TV, but when they do it’s either a cooking show of Law and Order: SVU. Cor often ends up staring at Moosh and asking her: “why would you watch this after living it all day at work?” Moosh would just shrug “I dunno- it’s compelling!”

what other couple they hang out with:

*Ummm, since this is a total crack ship I’m just gonna list the couples I’d love to hang out with LMAO- they’re gonna be predictable but these are legit my OTPs okay?! HAHAHAHAH*

- Raine and Ignis (from ‘We Intertwined’ by @nifwrites - Raine would be sooo fun!!!)

- Stella and Noctis (from ‘Stars in the Night’ by @blindbae <333)

- Gladio and Cam (from ‘Chasing Suns’ by @cupnoodle-queen BECAUSE MOOSH WANTS TO FIRST HAND WITNESS COR BURRRRN GLADIO *and Cam’s subsequent laughing fit* ABOUT HIS CUP NOODLES, ONLY FOR MOOSH TO BE LIKE “YEH BRUH LIKE YOU’RE ONE TO TALK! GLADDY LEMME TELL YOU A THING ABOUT COR AND HIS SECRET SOCK DRAWER STASH…)

- and my own OTP Claudia and Prompto (from ‘Sunshowers’ because Moosh would low-key probs be involved in Claud’s child protection case work if Moosh were in this FFXV AU HAHAHAHHA)

how they spend time together as a couple:

There’s nothing really specific. Just enjoying each other’s company? Chatting? Laughing at each other (it’s mostly Cor laughing at stuff Moosh does because Moosh is an absolute clown apparently and doesn’t realise it until it’s too late)

who made the first move:

Cor. Moosh had always thought Cor was too good for her, and that she had no chance HAHAHAHA

who brings flowers home:

Cor, with the cutest blush on his face <3

who is the best cook:

Moosh- and she’s not THAT much better. It’s just that… well… Cor REALLY can’t cook at all :O
