nine eight people you would like to get to know better

ahhh thank you @elmelloill for the tag, i am so excited to have a chance to do a tag game again. hm, not unlike lev's sentiment, i feel like i know most of the people im gonna tag but i want to share in the fun :D you don't have to and if i didnt tag you but you still wanna do the thing then!!!!!! do it!!!!! (i couldnt think of 9 people im SORRY) @knightofkestrels @feelingwhimsy @whatnowllamapeople @jess-jessitiz @here-queer-jointpain-severe @sevennbees @imthepunchlord @kerrtesy

a lot more than three ships: UH hm. let me think

so technically (aside from catboy ot3) all ships are rotating in my brain at all times, and it kind of depends on what thing i've become re-obsessed with at any given moment. i am on a duo of fire emblem and ace attorney eras all over again, so chrobin (both robins), ike/soren and klapollo are all on the brain. also ryukita for persona 5 since we started replaying that one recently. also flynn/yuri from tales of vesperia bc they're a very fun dynamic i like chewing on. rowan/graha/estinien just. lurks at the back of my mind at all times klhgkjh

first ship ever: percy/annabeth from the pjo books, i think? thats the oldest i can remember, bc i got into the series in middle school. for other not-first ships, i think roughly around then i was also just dabbling in ds games of all kinds. i definitely read the pokemon special/pokemon adventures manga and shipped red/yellow, and then protag/keith in the second pokemon ranger game. i wrote....so much fanfiction back then...

last song: if we're being technical it's a lofi mix i have on for work (link to my work playlist here if you want it) but otherwise, it's been XIV/genshin/star rail OSTs and a mix of ok goodnight/casey lee williams the edge and fall out boy's so much for stardust album, though really it's the first two songs

last movie: UHHHHH i think the most recent indiana jones movie? my dad took me for my birthday last month, hehe. NO WAIT IT WAS BARBIE the barbie movie was good

currently reading: unfortunately i dont read books all that much any more, and mostly the same for fics. i guess this is the time to give me book recs?

currently watching: well, nothing really TV show wise, though i was hoping to maybe start a rewatch of the first few arcs of fairy tail. we'll see. i mostly watch youtube nowadays, and usually it's a combination of channels. playframe happens to be my favorite (nice and varied playthrough content, but also just a really nice husband/wife duo that plays things together and with their friends). i also enjoy studson studio since i want to do more diorama building and he's the one that got me interested in it :)

currently consuming: ough sweet tarts and a ginger ale technically speaking, im like a zombie at work today and hoping the sour and bubbly will keep me awake @_@ but i did have a nice yoghurt and croissant for breakfast (i promise i eat normal meals and i just happen to be snacking rn fldkjgh)

currently craving: the comfort of my bed bc i have an extremely terminal case of sleepy bitch disease

#thank you lev this was very fun ;u;#maddie babbles #i gave up on actually doing my work to do this bc i am so eepy today

Hello~

So @shellsan tagged me to reply to some questions and I’ll be happy to do so~!

Favourite trope/s? Least favourite trope/s?

I’m reply to these together, to be honest I don’t think I really pay attention to tropes? Or it might be that I don’t really know what categorize as one. Like if you give me one, I can say how much or little I love it, but I blank out thinking of them myself.

But! I do enjoy a lot (like, a lot) anything to do with Time Travel and Crossovers (especially when both canon are kept as they are and meet, rather than “FandomA!AU for Fandom B”). In one fandom (BBC Merlin, and I see you liking it too), I enjoyed a lot the Watch the Show fics; I think because of how much it would rely on having Merlin’s magic revealed and all the things most of everyone missed out.

Since we’re here in fandom trops; for DGM my fave trope is anything where Allen either grows up with the Noah or joins them and just generally getting a family out of them. Meanwhile, for MDZS, it’s time travel and fix it/everyone live (goldmines are when both tropes are used in the same fic).

I can’t say if I have a least favourite, but I generally avoid unrequited love (unless its thought as unrequited but is in fact returned). I’m a bit meh about love triangles/characters “fighting” for someone love, but depends heavily how its written. Or what the intent is.

Favourite Universe to read in (AU, Canon, Canon-Divergence), especially for the fandoms you list below?

For most fandoms, I tend to first enjoy canon and canon divergent content. It’s the whole feeling of wanting more of the original canon, and all the ways people can add in, change things, and stuff like that. After a bit though, I also start to indulge in AUs.

In general, I get attracted most to anything that mirrors canon or keeps a certain sense of canon. So canon-divergence, canon au, and aus that retains dynamics similar to canon are the fics I’m most interested in.

AU’s that you can’t get into/don’t usually read?

That’s a good question. I can’t say anything comes to mind? If the summary/tags make me curious I’ll check, if I like I read.

Favourite fandoms to read fanfiction from?

At present time, I’m mostly reading MDZS fics. Whenever the mood hit me, I go back to DGM, but my mind hyper-focused right now. In a general sense, DGM and MDZS (with sometimes BBC Merlin) are the fandoms I’ll read for, as they remain my top three faves.

Favourite ships for said fandoms?

MDZS: Wangxian, I like other ships but I don’t seek out fics focused on those ships, those other ships are Xuanli, 3Zuns, Junior Trio, and XY/MXY (I dont know why but my mind threw those two together).

DGM: Neallen and Tykillen are the two I love the most, and I also love the OT3 with Nea, Allen and Tyki all together. I do like a lot of others ships, but yeah, I’m weak for those three.

BBC Merlin: it’s been a while since I did read fics for Merlin (not counting the one I just did it caught my eyes okay), but Merthur still my fave ship. I enjoy it in any form, and I kind of love it when Gwencelot is a side pairing. But like with MDZS, I don’t really seek fics of other ships I like (said ships being Gwencelot, Merwaine, Freylin, Gwaine/Morgana). I do think current me though might appreciate polyamory, there is a potential for it after all and it’s nicer than the ship wars (that I hope have calmed down since last I actively checked the fandom). If I would go all out and put all ships I like in the polycule, they would be: Arthur/Merlin, Lancelot/Gwen, Morgana/Gwen, Gwaine/Merlin, Arthur/Gwen, Merlin/Freya, Merlin/Morgana, Gwaine/Morgana.

Favourite characters for said fandoms?

In MDZS, I... feel like I love Wei Wuxian a lot and then I love everyone else?? I mean like, Lan Wangji, Jiang Cheng, Jiang Yanli, Wen Ning, the Juniors trio. I like most other characters that play major roles (exclude antagonists, except JGY and XY, I love how much I want to scream at them).

In DGM, Allen is my first love, Nea is my second, then it’s a bit of many characters at same level of appreciation, more or less (Tyki, Cross, Mana, Lavi, Kanda, Lenalee, Road, Wisely).

In BBC Merlin: Merlin and Arthur first, then Gwaine and Lancelot, then Morgana and Mordred and the rest of the round table knights.

Underrated characters in those fandoms you want to see more of in fanfics?

I’m the kind of person who can love a lot of characters and ships (on various degree) but tend to hyperfocus on a single character and then my OTP(s) for them, and as you can see above I do get hearteye for protagonists a lot. So I can’t quite say who is underrated, but I can more or less speak about characters I think it would be great to see more about.

In MDZS, it is definitely Mo Xuanyu. We know so little about him, pretty much everything we do know is given from others perspective, so there’s no way to know what is real. It leaves open for a lot of hcs, and so it’s interesting to see the different views. But just... I need so much more of MXY lives fics ;;;;;

I think in DGM, I definitely want to see more fics with Mana and Nea (especially interacting with current Allen), but I dont think those two count as underrated. And in BBC Merlin, I can’t think of anyone I personally want to see more of.

What is your favourite length of fic to read?

Any lengths, I rarely pay attention to the length of a fic, like a look at chapters and word counds but mostly just to decide if I have time to start reading it or if it’s going on my to-read list, but I never really, consciously think about it.

Preferred/most common ‘rating’ to read?

Again, I don’t really pay attention to it. Actual ratings, more than half the time I dont even notice which is put. Tags/warnings, I’ll take a look but its more like assessing than truly pausing to process them.

The three tags you look for most when you pick a fanfiction to read?

As mentionned in previous reply, I don’t really pay attentions to tags. It’s only if I’m looking to satisfy a specific craving I’ll properly filter, but most often it differs based on the fandom.

I would say that currently, I’m keeping an eye on MDZS tag for Time Travel, Fix-it and Canon Divergence.

#chrishere #(thank you for tagging me??? bless ;;;;;)#(hope that was what you were looking for!)
