y!dazai buying plushies and clothes for you :) but since he’s a massive douchebag he ended making you cry about it (probably didn’t feel bad either bleh)
he feels like he need to coddle you every single minute of the day or else he’ll go batshit crazy
anon i thought this said MAKING clothes for u i was about to cheer imagine dazai with his precise and nimble fingers hand sewing clothing for himself during the two years he spent underground, patching holes in his jacket and such ouughhh.. his darling gifts him a sewing machine after seeing his dodgy sewing set up utilizing a single bent needle and a lot of patience that he doesn’t normally have… ARE YOU ALL SEEING THIS TOO…… tbh tho he’d prick himself one (1) time with the needle and never pick one up again he’s such a baby or he’d swallow one
Kidnapper!Dazai who drones on and on about how hard he works to provide for the two of you, the least you can do is cuddle the plushies he got you if not him. That’s money that could have gone towards the betterment of your forcibly shared apartment, rather than some childish plushies just to keep you placated. Stop crying, that’s why he got them for you, remember?
wait hold on
He tries and be all sweet and doting, dropping the plush on top of some cozy pajamas he’d purchased for you that day. With a delusional smile he’d pull you into a hug, tugging at the hem of your pants claiming he wants a fashion show. At least the pajamas are modest — long pant legs and sleeves that at least cover your shoulders. The worst offender has a low neckline, but he’s sure you’ll appreciate that he didn’t go for anything too crazy. You’ll gently push him away, picking up the stuffed plush from the thick paper bags instead: It looks just like the one you had as a child. Dazai knows this, of course, like he knows everything else about you. He sits back with a smug grin, watching as you gently push it from one hand to the other.
The difference between this plush and the one sitting in storage at your parents’ home is the life brought into it: fur that is no longer matted from love and eyes that aren’t scuffed and scraped from kicking it off your bed at night… Wow, you missed those days. You missed your mom. A frown crosses your face as you turn towards your shared bedroom, deciding to spend sometime on your own. Before you can enact these plans, however, Dazai plucks the stuffie from your gentle grip, holding him high above your head. Your eyes widen and your face immediately drops. Hadn’t he already taken so much from you? Tears begin falling before you can even register it, too caught up in the sudden fear that you’d lose another part of yourself. Your parents, your friends, your life before this: it was all imprinted onto that stupid stuffed toy Dazai had gotten as an afterthought.
Yet, he continued to dangle it over your head. “You’ll get this little fella back when you answer me. Don’t you wanna make me as happy as I’ve made you?”
Happy? You couldn’t help but feel sick. With how long you’ve been in Dazai’s home, you knew expressing that wouldn’t get you the plushie back. The sleeve of your current outfit helps to wipe the tears off of your cheeks. “Fa-fashion show, right? Okay, okay,” you mutter while dropping to your knees, digging through the bag of clothing for the first set.
This is not your prompt but Dazai who bought a cam stuffie. Unbeknownst to you, the eye of the cute little teddy your dear friend gifted you fed video straight to his laptop at all hours of the day. He spends his nights watching you sleep peacefully; the rise and fall of your chest soothing him and giving him something to focus on other than the negative thoughts on his mind. Something about the way you’d pat the little bear on the head every morning had him swooning, as though you were doing the action to him. Weirdly enough, you always seemed to turn the little teddy away before changing… Oh well — Dazai would have plenty of time to see everything he wants to once you’re finally together: something he envisions happening soon.
this is not proofread bc i have soo much due rn... classes are kicking my ass!!! hope you like it anon :)

Pairing: La Squadra x GN! Reader
Warnings: language
La Squadra harem
Risotto Nero
Risotto, as a leader of the hitman squad, immediately notices the change of atmosphere among La Squadra once Y/n appears. Albino, to his huge dismay, understands that he’s not the only one who’s developed feelings for Y/n. Albino knows every member’s habits and usual behavior, capo is the first one of all hitmen who figures out that everyone is his rival now (but only when it comes to Y/n, he’s still their leader and he respects every member equally)
Risotto is more of a father figure to Y/n. He warms up to you shortly, pampering you with his attention and genuine care, always being there for you. You’re hungry? The two of you are going to the nearest cafe for you to have a proper meal and Capo won’t take “no” as an answer. You’re stressed and something messes with your pretty head? What a poor thing, come here, Risotto is always ready to listen. Others immediately catch on the change of Capo’s treatment, every day it becomes even more obvious that he has a huge soft spot for Y/n
Least favorite rival: Melone. Risotto hates how smooth purple-haired is around you, how he is open with his flirting, how sincere all of his words sound. Nero wishes he had at least half of sans gêne Melone has. He’s a Capo and he has a reputation to uphold, but behind closed doors Risotto has tried flirting with Y/n and it was so so clumsy and awkward, it’s just… not his style
Prosciutto
The second father figure for Y/n, but if Risotto is more of a sugar daddy, indulging you with expensive gifts and foods, Prosciutto mostly acts like a real father would, scolding you for going outside at winter without your hat on (tho he never wears a hat himself) or for petting stray animals on the streets
Even despite all of his parental sternness, Prosciutto is really caring and attentive towards Y/n, even more that Risotto is. You got scratched accidentally because of your clumsiness? We gotta clean the wound up and patch it, don’t even try to protest; it may be a simple graze but what if some dirt got in it? Your shoulders ache after a long tiring day? Come hither, your dear Prosci will rub all the pain away
Least favorite rival: Risotto. Prosciutto doesn’t hate or despise albino, no. Risotto is a capo, and he got this status for several reasons, so blonde man still respects his boss, but both man have pretty familiar tactics of charming Y/n, and that definitely annoys Prosciutto
Formaggio
Formaggio is one of the most oblivious of all La Squadra men, he doesn’t realize that he’s not the only one having interest in Y/n and even when other guys flirt openly with Y/n in front of him red-haired just thinks that his teammates just try to be friendly towards a newcomer
He’s definitely that type of macho from all the cheesy movies - attractive, excellent smooth talker with constant flirtings. Formaggio is not opposed of using all possible cringy lines what annoy everyone in La Squadra, even Risotto has hard times restraining the urge to roll his eyes at all those shitty teasings. But Maggi is an easygoing guy, it’s so easy being around him and even all his pick up lines don’t repel you from him
Least favorite rival: doesn’t have one. As I said, this man doesn’t notice that other guys try to get Y/n to themselves, the thought of having possible rivals doesn’t even cross his mind
Illuso
It’s not a secret to anyone that Illuso is a little nasty bitch with a huge god complex and all his wooing is no better. “You wanna spend time with me? Shit, you’re such a pain in my ass! Okay, I guess I will indulge you this time, but that’s only because of your cute face” - doesn’t sound so appealing, does it? And that’s exactly the way brunette flirts with Y/n (well, at least he tries to)
Illuso wants to make you crawl to him, to make you crave for his presence and his touch, you make you fall in love hard. Brunette wears his best outfits, uses the best of his perfumes make up stuff just to show you that he’s better than all of his teammates. Surprisingly, even his behavior changes slightly when Y/n is around - he’s not that unbearably churlish towards you, on the good days he may even compliment you - “Your hair… looks good today, I like it”
Least favorite rival: he hates all of La Squadra equally. Illuso is certain that he’s the only one who truly deserves Y/n’s attention, he’s the best partner for you and only he can treat you properly. Doesn’t even try to hide his hostility towards teammates - why would you want spending time with such a trash?
Ghiaccio
Ghiaccio is a tsundere, do I even need to explain why? Is obvious to everyone in La Squadra that he’s head over heels for Y/n, but he still aggressively denies everything if someone points that out. He’s also very protective of you, if Formaggio or Melone or Sorbet try to flirt with you in front of Ghiaccio - they’ll get their nose bleeding soon (blue-haired gets scolded for that by Risotto often)
Blue-haired tries his best to hold all his outbursts in front of you. Even when you ask the stupidest questions, Ghiaccio would clench his fists til his knuckles turn white, grit his teeth, try doing breathing exercises - everything just to remain calm and not to get tantrum in front of you. And you guess that means really a lot
Least favorite rival: Sorbet and Gelato. Those guys (gays, lmao im sorry) don’t even try to hide their interest in Y/n, pinning for you, prying your attention only to themselves. They flirt so openly with you, some of their lines and allusions make even Melone feel slightly uncomfortable, so Ghiaccio sees those almost as if two husbands were shamelessly molesting Y/n
Melone
Melone knows that at times he may be a little bit… too much, so he turns it down for as much as he can so his “strange” tendencies won’t scare Y/n off. For the first few months purple-haired is nothing but sweet and caring, looking pretty normal, just like an average man that doesn’t think of breeding and all possible kinks every two minutes of his time
Even though, he acts like a gentleman with Y/n. Carrying heavy bags for you, giving you a hand when you get up, and if you’re studying medicine he’s up to help you if you have problems with understanding something. Melone had been studying for almost four years at medical uni but got kicked out for having sex with his cogrouper right in the uni. So he may be pretty helpful if you don’t get something or if you’re just interested in medicine
Least favorite rival: I can’t say that he cares much about other guys from La Squadra, but if he had to pick out one it’d be Illuso. It’s not about the way brunette tries to charm Y/n, purple-haired from every beginning didn’t like this guy. All of his conceit and arrogant behavior - it all just pisses Melone off
Pesci
Pesci is so so timid with Y/n, every time you walk by him, saying hi or just smiling at him, poor boy’s heart twists into tight knots. How are you so sweet? How are you so perfect?
Despite all your friendliness green-haired is still incredibly bashful, he is simply afraid of approaching Y/n. It doesn’t matter how much he likes you, Pesci just can’t force himself to try and initiate a chat. Sometimes Prosciutto helps him out with that a little (even though he doesn’t realize that he helps), but blonde is still careful with his actions, not letting even his precious Pesci get too close to Y/n
Least favorite rival: Formaggio. This guy is so noisy and vigorous, every time Pesci finally pulls himself together and finds the courage to approach Y/n this guy seems to appear from fucking nowhere, hogging your attention all to himself and leaving green-haired an angry blushing mess
Sorbet and Gelato
At the very beginning it feels more like you are Sorbet’s and Gelato’s child and they’re your parents fretting over you. They often take you with them on some trips, Gelato helps you with your school (if it’s something he knows about), Sorbet picks you up from work/school and drives you home etc
Sorbet is more of a tease, playing around with you, shamelessly flirting with Y/n, littering with not so pure compliments and comments. His touches are a little bit too long, his gazes are slightly too intense, even stupidest one would notice brunette’s longing for Y/n. Gelato is way less intense than his husband, blonde is way easier with his words, charming you with his sweet talking and constant doting. He’s more of a pillow that eases the expression Sorbet gives you
Sorbet’s least favorite rival: Risotto. Brunette hates how calm and well-composed Capo is, what if Y/n thinks that albino is cooler than he is? But Sorbet immediately makes a new plan in his head: if Risotto is more of a dad to Y/n, always doting on you and being so kind, Sorbet’s going to become your daddy, making you fall for him and Gelato, make you hungry for their attention
Gelato’s least favorite rival: blonde is pretty acknowledged that everyone in La Squadra tryies to get Y/n to themselves, he sees everyone (except Sorbet ofc) as his rival. Man dislikes everyone, seeing them as his opponents, but he doesn’t have a least favorite one. Yes, other members are hella pain in the ass, but blonde is pretty sure that Y/n will end up in his and Gelato’s arms anyways, so there’s no need to jangle his nerves

I like your omegaverse ideas too much. Like it scares me a little how much I'm into loss of autonomy stuff. (;ŏ﹏ŏ) It's hot though *whine* ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄ Also what do you mean they get Shanks to fuck Marco? Say more right now! Please.
Aw buddy I totally get it tho oh my god. My fic history...COUGHS. ain't nobody seeing that shit but me and god. But really, rubious consent / consenual nonconsent and even specific noncon stuff really 👏....(me: it's about the control taken away so you don't actually have to think about the things you desire, loss of autonomy in a way that makes it easier to think because you don't have to give it up// GOD how bad is your wanting does a fucking....mido just rants in the tags and it's great and I vibe with it so hard
anyway I immediately thought of the below when i read the last part of your ask so i will indulge bc i want to rant abt it so bad LMAAOOO
Tumblr media
ANYWAY it's one of the companion spin-offs on bleed for it I wanna write lmaOOOOoo
After they get together and are ~in love~ and all my dumb plot things are out of the way, one of the things they experiment/play around with is the fact that Marco wants to serve them and has difficulties with being doted on because as an alpha he thinks he shouldn't Like It. So if he can't be an alpha, they tell him that he'll be their omega instead. Very much abt marco's service kink + how tied he is to being Told to do things so he can be good + playacting as an omega because he likes to sub but doesn't know how + he thinks he can't hurt them if he's Theirs, and this is maybe a year in so he's still a bit Trauma about the stuff he did to Ace on top of not actually having a word for asexuality or really Getting it, so he likes when they organise things for him and get him to do things.
Ace likes his bfs being taken care of, so he's okay with it, and it is comfortable to have control, and Sabo, Sabo thinks it's hot as shit that Marco goes to his knees, but also he preens bc it feels like revenge sometimes too, to be mean and know marco likes it, to show him how he treated omegas with nonchalance and disregard and make Marco pay penance. Sabo pays his own, but he'll take his dues where he can get them.
This PARTICULAR scenario is neither Ace or Sabo have a knot (they've def used toys on him before, but think it would be fun to get him full and messy and humiliated) so they get Shanks involved to help them out. Really fuck Marco up. And really really fuck him.
They've talked about bringing in another alpha or using scent patches to disguise themselves, but having Shanks over, ah, Marco's not necessarily remembering those conversations. Shanks coming over is a normal occurrence.
There's alcohol involved, a little, because Shanks likes it, and Ace with his hands dragging on the nape of Marco's neck, Sabo with very pointed words and Marco VERY much wants Shanks to leave so he can make them hold to their teases, but then the topic shifts to omegas and very carefully Marco gets referred to as their omega. And he knows how to make them stop, if he wants, but he very carefully lets them steer, knowing they'll have planned something and always fine to follow their lead, up until the way they approach it with Shanks, picking deliberately at (spoiler, so I shan't say); "well omegas don't mind getting shared around as long as they get fucked. And we thought, well, you're such a good friend, why not."
Ace grinning, sharp, his hand on the nape of Marco's neck as he says, "Plus Marco's got a wandering eye. Might as well curb that."
And Marco flushing, because he doesn't, not really, but they're absolutely referencing the messy half-crush he had on Shanks when he was younger and it's embarrassing, and also, he doesn't want Shanks, not the way he wants them. Shanks is attractive and clever and fun, but he's loyal, in a way that means being passed off - pushed off the couch to slowly sink to his knees in front of Shanks, Sabo's foot braced on his back - is, humiliating? Longing. But if this is what they want him to do, it's embarrassing, but he still gets hot for it.
Shanks appraising him, cupping his cheek so gently to turn his head before saying that he guesses he can give it a shot, Marco's not his usual type, but they always wax poetic about how good he is, how caring and attentive, who's he to deny such affection?
Who Is He Indeed, but he does brim with compliments aimed so precisely at stuff that makes Marco flustered - at things that are lewd or explicit or go directly to things Ace and Sabo have said about him, to Shanks, while they're acting all high and mighty and not touching him. Letting Shanks do all the work, getting him slick and stretched and ready for a proper knot before asking Ace and Sabo their opinion on the best way to take him - to make Marco ride him, or to press him down on the table and fuck him that way?
"He's got plenty of stamina," Sabo offers, "and you've far more experience than us, I'm sure he'll enjoy whatever you decide."
"True," Shanks says with a grin, and pats Marco's side, getting him to stand. "Hear that? I know your boys try and take care of you, but I've got experience, baby, don't worry if you're speechless when I'm through."
Getting Marco to ride him so he can use his free hand to tease and discover sensitive places, complimenting them for their pretty, well-behaved omega, how well they've trained him, and Ace sitting on the edge of Shanks' chair arm but refusing to let Marco touch him, just watching so he can note when Shanks groans and shifts back, the way that he grabs Marco's hips and takes control of the pace.
Ace grinning, taking Marco's chin to stare into his dazed eyes, and Sabo comes up behind to lean over Ace's shoulder. Clicks his tongue, and says, "Don't be disrespectful Marco, he's a guest. He's putting in all this effort, and what, you're not going to be polite?"
Marco knows that everyone knows and he doesn't want to say it- managing a single please.
"Please what?"
"Shanks..."
"i don't know what you want omega." Shanks grinning as he catches their game, strained edges to it as he pushes Marco back, grip shaking as he forces his knot out of the tight heat to see Marco shudder at the pop, "Is there something you want to say?"
Marco swallowing so hard, so much feeling, and Shanks' cock is still okay, but he'd felt the press of the knot and it'd made his legs shake, and if it's not in him when it properly forms it's not going to go in, and Marco presses his lips together. Because what's the point of this game if he doesn't get knotted, and he'd told them, as well, the fantasy of feeling it, and he knows they'll understand and fake teasing disappointment but he can't-
"Alpha," he says, a whine slipping into his tone, and he watches Ace and Sabo grin gleefully, and that seems like more than enough for Shanks to bring him back down hard. And it was late, late enough to be half-formed, so the sudden press has Marco jolting like he'd touched a livewire, coming unexpectedly at the rough treatment. At how he was so suddenly split open, pain and pleasure a mix he wasn't expecting. Going boneless in Shanks' lap, exhausted and shuddering as Shanks cums in him, a feeling that toys can't emulate. Drooling just a little because he can't close his mouth, slack and panting.
Finally getting enough to mumble something like: my boyfriends are better and Shanks jolts in absolutely hysterical laughter, matched by Ace burying his face in his hands to stifle his own noises and Sabo trying to hide his fondness even as he tweaks Marco's ear.
(Sabo instigates cuddles that night; he refuses to let it be commented on). (But it is kind of sweet that Marco decided to defend their honour.)
(ALSO when I was talking this idea with Tams, idk, had the sudden thought that Shanks is not allowed to have kisses because that is for Ace and Sabo only. Only they get Marco kisses. Marco is fine if they kiss other people but he only really wants to kiss them.)
(Shanks is a bit of a grey area and Marco's okay if he has a bit more warning/if Shanks asks, but in this one he gets his open, panting mouth only teasingly kissed by Ace and Sabo as they pass by him to get a better view to watch)
(also momentarily back to loss of autonomy but low-key this, just, god. marco, ace, or sabo, giving up control for their partners in the ways that they themselves are physically or emotionally tied to, that they consider their strengths? Hm, yeah, just lemme (goes insane). Romantic, loyal Marco, so eager to be used, Sabo letting them tie him down, being broken in and kept, Ace allowing them to pull him apart and pick at his scars and make him heal- just. I have lots of other thoughts about that but this is scattered and I have done so much overtime this week but I wanted to finish this jhsjhd)

Hello, hello! It’s me again! Polite anon hehe- May I request a fluffy wholesome idea? The main characters (Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu and Inosuke) visiting Giyuu’s wife and her being very motherly towards the kids, treating them as children of her own, making them meals, bandaging them up when they’re injured, etc- maybe something with Giyuu’s reaction? Sorry if this is too much to ask, you don’t have to but I would appreciate it! Thank you! ^^
Hello, bby!!!! Of course you may. I found this so adorable, okay? You don’t even know. :D However, I’m placing the timeline somewhere after the Swordsmith Village arc, because… well… I don’t want to give out spoilers to those who haven’t read the manga. (There aren’t any spoilers here, tho. I’ve just been very vague with the setting.) But I hope you like it! Please, if you have more requests, don’t hesitate to send them in. :D
***
The Kamaboko Squad Inviting Giyuu’s Wife on a Picnic (SFW Scenario):
“How long are you going to be gone?” Giyuu asked his wife softly, as he tightened his arms around her and pulled her closer against his chest.
(Y/n) smiled indulgently at her husband, before patting his chest lightly with her right hand. “It’s just a picnic with the kids. I’ll be home by sunset.”
“I should go with you,” The Water Hashira mused, as (Y/n) resisted the urge to shoot him an incredulous expression.
She’d already asked him to go with them, but it appeared he’d either forgotten, or he simply didn’t hear her back then.
However, instead of telling him as such— and inevitably making him feel bad— she chose to overlook that one particular detail. “Let’s go, then. Tanjirō will be so happy to see you.”
Plus, she wouldn’t have to carry the heavy picnic basket. But she didn’t tell him that either.
It didn’t take long for the couple to reach their intended picnic spot, which was only at the foot of the mountain where Giyuu and his wife lived. And when they surveyed the scene in front of them, both of them exchanged a knowing look at the disaster that occurred in their absence.
Wordlessly, they agreed to do their respective tasks: with (Y/n) wrangling the four young ones up, and Giyuu fixing the blanket and setting up the area.
As it was, Zenitsu was cowering away from Inosuke— who appeared ready to punch him. While Tanjirō stood as interference between the two. And Nezuko, the precious girl, had used the picnic blanket as her own personal blanket. She laid asleep within the patterned cloth; like a gigantic spring roll.
“Oi, Monitsu, you wanna fight, huh?” Inosuke roared, as he lunged at the blond. The action had Zenitsu whimpering while he shook his head rapidly.
It would have made (Y/n) laugh, had it happened at any other time and place. But they had promised her to be on their best behavior during the picnic, so she couldn’t even muster up a smile.
So, with a frown on her face, she brought her fingers up to her lips and whistled; a high pitched and keening sound that made all the slayers— even her husband— cover their ears.
Nezuko, unfortunately, still laid rolled up within the blanket. Which Giyuu had begun unrolling before his wife’s little whistling episode.
“I was promised good behavior, so what’s this?” (Y/n) chastised the three boys, while Giyuu muffled a chuckle at her motherly tone.
It wasn’t a secret that his wife was a warm and nurturing woman— which made him the envy of most of his fellow Hashira— but she did have a tendency to coddle the younger Slayers, especially the quartet with them at that moment.
She treated them as if they were hers and Giyuu’s children; which made for some very awkward yet humorous moments when Tanjirō would slip up and call them okaa-san and otou-san.
Inosuke growled at Zenitsu, before turning to (Y/n). “He was challenging me! He started it!”
“I don’t care who started it. Don’t make me pinch all three of you.” At that threat, all three boys’ eyes widened, and they immediately jumped away from each other. “Come here, Zenitsu. Let’s patch up those scratches.”
Giyuu had overheard (Y/n)’s threat and couldn’t help but smile at that. His wife was a force to be reckoned with; even if she wasn’t a Slayer.
***
Once all of them were seated on the picnic blanket, and were digging into the food that (Y/n) made, Giyuu couldn’t help but admire the way his wife acted around his subordinates.
She would constantly clean up after the three boys, and would also lean over and wipe their faces clean off the remnants of their meals. Especially Tanjirō’s face.
And once their plates were already cleaned up and packed, they sat back to enjoy some tea. That was when (Y/n) noticed the slight wear and tear on Inosuke’s boar head, though, so she gently grasped the thing in her hands and set it on her lap.
“Ino-chan, you have to take better care of this. She was the one who took care of you when you were young, right? So it’s only polite to take care of her.” She brushed her fingers gently over the spot with the thinning fur, then smiled at the blue-haired boy. “I can patch this up, if you’d like.”
Inosuke was hesitant at first, but ultimately relented to her. No one could ever win against (Y/n)— no matter how hard they tried.
And once their tea was already cleared away, Nezuko had taken to sitting cradled between the older woman’s legs, as she braided her hair.
Giyuu could only look on, as his wife doted on all four children. And while he watched her interact with them, he felt something stir inside his chest; something akin to want… or maybe something akin to longing.
He couldn’t help but imagine (Y/n) surrounded by little boys and girls that looked like the two of them combined. Girls with her hair and his eyes, and boys with his hair and her eyes; and vice versa.
They had talked about the topic of having children once, and they’d agreed to only have them when Giyuu was ready to start a family.
He knew that his wife had always been more than ready for kids, but she had relented to his wishes because she loved him that much and understood where his hesitance was coming from.
But, at that very moment, he realized… he was ready to finally have his own children. He wanted to see them grow and flourish into well-rounded individuals. Hell, he wanted to see the same smile on (Y/n)’s face while she held their child in her arms.
So, he didn’t hesitate to call her name.
And with a smile and a tilt of her head, (Y/n) turned her attention to him.
“Let’s have children.”

Lmao I got three I'm particularly curious about for you on the character meme. Thancred, Lahabrea, Igeyorhm. XD Feel free to do as many or as few as you'd like of course!
Tumblr media
You asked for it. We’ll start with That Damned Rogue. The Ascians will be below.
This of course got long, so behind a cut it goes:
Thancred
First impression: I started in Gridania and took like 2 years to finish ARR 2.0, was already spoiled on the possession angle (I spoiled myself, no big), and had just @erickgage‘s affectionate joking summary of Thancred being the guy who shows up 5 minutes late with Starbucks to all the early battles. So I didn’t really get to meet the guy ‘til the Waking Sands.
And honestly, he was stereotypical generic bland anime prettyboy competent guy. His 1.0/ARR model is…just sorta there. He was a flirt, also generic as heck. Really didn’t register too much, until I finished 2.0 finally and then went hard on the MSQ through the patches and into HW and StB 4.0, when I finally caught up to content.
Impression now: Godsdammit.
My first replay through the game was on PunchyCat, starting in Ul’dah, which meant I got to meet Thancred much earlier. I was immediately amused by his nickname for Nanamo, and Papashan’s assessment of the witty Archon. I was more into the lore, getting the first lorebook and reading the short stories on the main site, and playing through all at once instead of piecemeal over months/years made things make more sense. Thancred hits a lot of tropes I commonly like in a lot of characters, so he jumped up to being a favorite.
Gunbreaker suits him as a tank job (thank goodness he can stop trying to tank warmachina as a rogue, ffs Thancred), and tanking in general suits him when it comes to fighting for those he cares about.
I’m interested in the ShB story mentioning why he wears white in all his gear iterations; I’d previously made a post about his color choices and that aspect of character design, but having a lore explanation for his affinity for that color was interesting. I didn’t think his HW model suited him, honestly; way too rough mountain man hobo. His model in ShB is closer to his ARR model, but different enough, and imbued now with actual character, that he’s a bit more visually interesting and while still pretty typical handsome anime protagonist in appearance; his true personality just comes through a lot more.
I’m still forever mad about the unintentional character ‘ship with Aeryn, tho. It took a 3rd playthrough for it to happen.
For myself, mind, when I got into playing and learned his canonical age, it was at the time the same difference between myself and my younger brother. My assessment of the Scion “family” with Thancred being the middle child (esp his behavior pre-HW) maybe helps that. I’m getting to a point, really, where I look at the characters under 35 and think “OMG disaster children, all of you.”
Favorite moment: Oh goodness. There’s some good ones.
‘How was I supposed to know all my girlfriends would track me down and show up at HQ all at the same time: a master class in how to not to deal with multiple paramours by Archon T. Waters.’
His dramatic reappearance and duel with Ardbert in HW 3.1.
Taking out his frustrations by soloing the Coerthas cyclops boss so we can get on with the Tournament and fight Raubahn. (Side Bonus: pre-tournament when he jokes about fighting for the other team to even up the odds, and then: “It looks to be a veritable who’s who of the Eorzean Alliance. The only question is: who came to watch and who came to fight? Hmm…Nanamo. Definitely Nanamo.”)
Making sure Urianger knew he was still part of the team post-Soul Surrender climax.
“All right, which one of you triggered the obvious trap?” Also learning he can hold his breath for 10 freaking minutes–but still gets to be jealous of the WoL, Lyse, and Alisaie for their kojin blessing.
That dramatic teamwork with Urianger to knock Ran’jit down the pit in Rak’tika.
That frickin’ Trolley duty and it’s aftermath with the completed checklist of anime death markers and then just sitting there battered and bleeding and smiling and then giving Ryne a name and a headpat and “You’re family.” Bastard.
Idea for a story: Have you seen my Ao3 account? *grumbles*
Unpopular opinion: While he likely used drinking as a bad coping mechanism at times in ARR’s patches, I doubt he ever really went to blackout, as losing control to that extent, after having been controlled and probably losing a lot of time while possessed, would be awful. We see him drink a few times, but I don’t think he is/was an alcoholic.
I also agree with @ahlis-xiv that his flirtatious persona was mostly adopted. While he probably does have a healthy libido and enjoys time with paramours (that Urianger keeps a handy list of), there’s a lot that’s likely exaggerated, allowed to be assumed, and otherwise used as a cover, given his specializations. It’s also noteworthy how he’s mostly acting the same even after being lost in the wilderness, right up until our foray into the Antitower. The wit/humor gets toned down a lot, but the flirting is cut out entirely after that. He still charms some ladies in the First, based on incidental dialogue, but that seems a general reaction to him being a handsome hero type rather than any intentional flirtatious act on his part.
Favorite relationship: Thancred and little sister types. I do wish we’d seen more of his relationship with Minfilia outside of informed moments and the short stories. I feel like he has a semi-older-brother relationship with Lyse, too, given their antics in the 2.0 patches (particularly the “Hoary’s fighting the WoL, come watch!” and Thancred not even considering how one of his girlfriends would see him sending Lyse to retrieve an item until after and going “oh yeah, whoops”). And now there’s Ryne, and she is totally running things if you watch their background conversations/body language. But that’s kind of where Thancred likes it; find a girl who needs a protective older brother and do what she asks and whatever she needs.
I do have a special place in my heart for the expanded broship with Urianger that Shadowbringers gave us, though. I’ve already spoken on that one.
Favorite headcanon: Everything people assume about how he spoils the nutkin. And really, focusing on taking care of and doting on a pet would be good therapy. Goodness knows he needs it.
Also I assume he and Hilda hooked up at least once during the HW patches. Part of that expectation and cover, sure, to immediately flirt with the pretty, tough, half-elezen guard captain. But also, he spent however long mostly alone, and then only with the Vath and a nutkin for company; the guy was probably touch-starved and lonely and just needing a connection to another person he could relate to (that wasn’t a bug).
Otherwise, again, have you seen my Ao3? Ugh. Damned snarky smart rogues…

Lahabrea
First impression: Laughing Organization XIII-wannabe is obvious villain. Wonder what their deal is.
Impression now: So much lost/wasted potential thanks to being stuck as the ARR villain when it was so hastily rewritten and acted, and so little was decided on the Ascians and their motivations yet. A lot of what we learn now retroactively makes him more interesting. The fact he was a workaholic who looked at the workaholic Scion and went “ah yes; that one will do, perfect” makes me laugh.
Favorite moment: I like his interactions with Elidibus. And I am actually fairly fond of his theatrical reveal in Praetorium about the Ultima Weapon, the Heart of Sabik, and casting Ultima.
Idea for a story: Maybe stuff while he’s possessing Thancred. Maybe stuff between then and the Reactor. I dunno; I’ve been enjoying a lot of others’ stories about our first Ascian antagonist.
Unpopular opinion: Dunno if this is unpopular, but some of the retroactive information is to excuse why he seemed so much less powerful than other, later Ascians, but I do think the Speaker could be quite devious and powerful, if he had better writing around him. He suffers for being from ARR.
Favorite relationship: I am not ashamed to admit I am a Lahabrea/Igeyorhm shipper and Hades Ex seems to agree with me so there.
Favorite headcanon: The Speaker likely also had a good singing voice. Another thing good about possessing a man whose primary cover was a bard–excuses to indulge that.

Igeyorhm
First impression: Wannabe-Organization XIII also hires women, cool. Wonder if she’ll get to do anything?
Impression now: I’m sad so much got cut from HW; as great as it was, a lot got left on the editing room floor and it shows in spots–particularly where the Ascians connect with the plot. We learn much about her retroactively as well, including how she worked for/with Lahabrea thanks to being the one to wreck the Thirteenth, and change Ascian policy on how to bring about Rejoinings. I still wanna know more about her.
Favorite moment: You beat the whale, good job–thanks, that’s my key now. It’s such a perfect dick move. Excellent timing and taunting. 
Idea for a story: Maybe some of her inner thoughts working for/with Lahabrea. She was a raised up shard, so does that mean they found the scattered pieces of her original soul and force-merged them? I doubt it, since Emet-Selch mentions raising up those who are a piece of the previous office holder, but I wonder if it came with imbuing the new title-holder with some of those memories and knowledge. Perhaps she wonders if some of her interactions/feelings/whatever with Lahabrea are her own, or her tapping into her previous life’s memories. Something to think about, anyway.
Unpopular opinion: I dunno, she shoulda gotten to stick around longer? Or been allowed to do a lot more? Should have been much more of a presence in HW, but I don’t think that’s unpopular so much as unconsidered.
Favorite relationship: Lahabrea is really the only one she gets significant interactions with. Though I wonder about her interactions with the other few women in the Ascians.
Favorite headcanon: See above with the story ideas, really; she didn’t get a lot of time onscreen so there’s a lot of room to make things up, and retroactive info from ShB to make her more interesting, or at least her situation as an upraised Ascian.
