Shipper Tag Game

I was tagged by @a-very-fond-farewell! Thank you so much, darling! Though I'm not sure how good I'll be at it x'D

---

1. What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don’t care anymore?

Honestly? None. While I did have some ships I was interested in, I wasn't obsessed with any of them. And I kind of still care about them? In a very nostalgic way. So I kind of fail at both parts of this question x'D

2. Which ship would you consider your first one?

If I'm going with the one I got really invested in? Destiel tbh. Mainly because I was very much a late bloomer who didn't really discover fandom and fanfics until I was 20-21. I mean, I HAD read some before that but since I didn't have internet in my apartment until I went to university (I was too poor xD), it wasn't easy for me to access them. Shipping is just easier when you have internet.

But, once I had it, I DID revisit a couple of ships that were technically older than Destiel that I had never really gotten into before that, many of them from video games, anime/manga, and books I'd read. But they were all overshadowed by Destiel so that's the one I remember as my first.

3. Your first fanfic belonged to which couple?

Are we talking reading or writing? I guess I'll do both?

Reading: I think it was a Zell Dincht/Seifer Almasy one from Final Fantasy VIII that a friend printed out on actual paper and gave to me back when I was 16 or 17 (again, no internet). And I honestly can't say why he picked that pairing xD (I'm definitely more of a Squall/Seifer girlie now)

Writing: Sterek. Because it felt interesting but also not too intimidating. And I also just like werewolves?

4. Do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over?

Not really, no. Since I've been drawing for so long I spent more time looking for art than fanfics when I was younger so I probably stumbled over a lot of them without even knowing it.

5. Did you ever get into ship discourse?

Not if I can help it, no. I tend to stay away from that sort of thing as best I can and just let people ship whatever they want. It's honestly none of my business.

6. Did you use to have any no-otp or have it currently?

I have several, mostly based on what I find triggering or squicky. But I don't announce them publically because that's just rude to those who DO ship them. And, as stated above, I try not to get involved in what other people ship or don't ship.

7. Who were the couples in the last fanfic you read?

Choi Yoon/Yoon Hwa Pyung from The Guest. Because who doesn't love some pining and Catholic guilt?

For real, though, I read very few fanfics right now and actually had to go check my history on AO3 to figure this out x'D The second to last fanfic was a Strangers From Hell one. And the one before that was a Guardian one!

8. Currently do you have any OTPs?

Several. Honestly too many to list x'D I'm one of those people who don't really let go of ships I like. They're not always at the forefront of my mind, though, but I remember them fondly and coo a little when I think of all the fond memories.

But if we're talking about the ones I'm the most focused on right now I'd say Kang Yo Han/Kim Ga On from The Devil Judge, Yoon Sa Wol/5-8 from Black Knight (currently struggling with chapter 6 x'D), the aforementioned Choi Yoon/Yoon Hwa Pyung from The Guest, and Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan from Guardian.

9. Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?

Sterek. But that has less to do with my dedication to the characters and more to do with the queerbaiting and how extremely shittily Jeff Davis handled that whole thing. To use the Sterek shippers for publicity and hint that maybe it could happen, only to turn around and do everything within his power to not make it happen?

I take that personally, not because I have a huge stake in Stiles and Derek as characters, but as a queer person who, for once, thought that maybe we would actually get to see a couple we really liked get together, and then didn't.

I had more hope for Sterek than I ever did for Destiel, which technically had more in-canon queerbaiting, because the people behind Teen Wolf did their damndest to give me hope. Only for me to be ignored and basically told I was being gullible for ever thinking it would happen.

And that's a betrayal I'm probably never going to forgive.

10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?

Not... really? I can't think of any, at least. But that could be because I always have a pretty good reason for disliking the ships I dislike. As mentioned, it's usually based on triggers and squicks and those don't really change. So my opinion on ships I dislike aren't likely to change, either.

11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?

I mean, considering the social climate right now? Even Sterek qualifies because Stiles was underage when I started shipping them and Derek most certainly was not xD That said, I always prefer the fics when Stiles had time to turn 18 before any of the sexy stuff happened.

12. What was your favourite crack ship?

Okay, so, I've actually read a lot of fics for ships I don't actually ship, just for research purposes. Like, I find it FASCINATING to watch what other people like, how they choose to write about the things they like, and how they decide to portray the characters. Basically, I like to analyse authors just as much as I like to analyse characters. It's a hobby of mine.

And one of my absolute favourites was reading fanfics for Newt Scamander and the original Percival Graves from the first Fantastic Beasts movie (Sidenote: She-who-must-not-be-named is an asshole and this is not an endorsement of her franchise or shitty beliefs). And why I loved that so much was because the fics were about THE ORIGINAL Percival Graves who, technically, was never IN the actual movie (he might not even be alive anymore?). Like, it was Grindelwald all the time. We never actually SAW the original Percival Graves, just Grindelwald's impersonation of him.

And I just had so much fun reading various authors' takes on this character who was never actually seen but, based on Grindelwald's impersonation, can sort of be hinted? Because he must have done a good enough job of it that the people around Graves didn't notice? It was like an anthropological dig of Percival Graves transpiring right before my eyes and since I got on the train pretty early, I could see authors being inspired by each other and how the fanon developed over time. 10/10 would recommend if you're interested in watching a fandom evolve.

(also, some of the fics were so fucking good. So there's that, too xD)

13. Who is the couple you read most fanfics of?

I'm not entirely sure if it's Destiel or Stony, but definitely one of them (Sterek is most likely in third place). Partly because there are just so many to partake in (those fandoms are HUGE), but also because they've been with me for so long and numbers accumulate. That said, I haven't read any for those ships in a long, long time. But considering how many fics I devoured during the time I was the most active in those fandoms? It's going to be difficult for any of the ones I'm currently into to catch up.

Also because I tend to be in much smaller fandoms now >_>

14. What do most of your ships usually have in common?

WELL. A while back I would have said that even if there are some enemies-to-lovers tropes and antagonising in some of them, they're all mostly unproblematic and pretty healthy.

... I can't really do that anymore, can I? x'D

I mean, Kang Yo Han is problematic all on his own, but even HE is a green flag compared to Seo Moon Jo. That fucker is just a straight-up psychopath x'D

A more serious answer: An interesting dynamic. Which sounds like a given, but is actually a bit more tricky than that. Because I've only gotten more and more picky over the years. I've actually spoken to my wife and friends about this, because I've seen a pretty noticeable shift in my own shipping practices lately.

I gather fewer and fewer new ships and that's not because I watch/read fewer things, but because I'm getting pickier about them. There has to be an extra spark that interests me, often connected to the characters' personalities and how they play off each other, while, before, a bit of chemistry was enough.

But that also makes me more versatile, I guess? Because I focus less on tropes and more on characters and dynamics. But that also makes it harder to spot similarities xD

15. What do you absolutely hate in a ship?

I mean, hate is a strong word. But, again, it would mostly be connected to my triggers. I don't like ships that are too abusive and unbalanced. A little bit of danger is fine, but things like abuse, infidelity, grooming, non-con etc. don't work for me, personally.

---

I don't really know who to tag so just do it if you want to! :D

This is going to be unpopular but I personally think that there's a really good chance that Hancock's extremely baffling and incorrect usage of the term "anarchy" was an intentional joke, and not a Bethesda writer's room idiocy moment.

#idk just. i think that some people actually manage to give the writing for fo4 too little credit sometimes #(which i did not know was possible but hey)#like now that im revisiting the game after some time off and as an adult....#idk i think maybe you're just supposed to think that he's stupid. hes a little slow. the narrative is kind of really making fun of him #fo4 tag

you ever wonder if the Glamrocks's face tracking acts up when they look at Glamrock-Freddy, like they'll look at his face, and the recognition will register as Freddy, but their systems for whatever reason or another think that there is a face overlapped on Freddy's do you think they see two small squares next to him, at his side, roughly child sized, but no one is physically there.... right...?

#fnaf #michael afton #five nights at freddy’s #glammike #crying child #elizabeth afton #i wanted to allude something to william but idk #would the glamrocks go into the sinkhole? maybe #maybe next to glamrock freddy alongside the weird overlapping face he has and the two kid height faces #there is a face tracking box next to him...standing #remember that post about the ghost hunters comin to the pizza plex? maybe the weird face tracking happens too...#im watching garret watts and Andrew's constant facial tracking anomalies inspired this post lol #anyways i really like the thought that despite being the most friendly Glamrock; Freddy has this......feeling about him #his AI was made just this year! programmed with cutting edge and top of the line technology!#then....then why does he go off script sometimes? why does he say things that wasn't programmed show dialogue?#how does he know about Mr. Afton? the killer from the 80's who committed heinous deeds?#Why does he speak as if he knew him personally? if his AI is just pulling stuff from online; Why does he speak with resentment about him?#IM SORRY I JUST LOVE THE CONCEPT!!#like just because this franchise has gotten more neon and sugery than ever; remember; lights can be blinding and sugar causes cavities #idk what that means just omg there is more horror potential than you think in the SB era of games if you look hard enough #off topic but back to freddy being a sweetie pie i think that its funny okay #freddy sasses adults okay okay but he isnt mean to kids okay maybe michael just idk; MATURED? maybe he just got some whimsy mkay?#listen if i was forced to be in a perpetual cycle of atoning for my own and my father's sins i would find any and all silver linings mkay #aw yeah this is sick i get to be a freddy mercury inspired glamrock bear WOOO #granted michael was probably tired of animatronic bands and pizza by fnaf 6 but ykkkkkkkk it.....could be worse? he could be his dad lmao #anyways headcannon michael listend to freddy mercury and this is the equivalent of cosplaying him scott told me so (trust)#tag rambles! theyre fun lol

wip ‘join me for the night’? :3

(loving the new blog theme, by the way!!)

ahh ty!!

join me for the night is basically. concept: aro4aro souheki. with background kunichuu. also they're at a party for unspecified reasons. here's an excerpt:

Ranpo grimaces to himself. He picks up his fork and begins studying it, poking the prongs with the tip of his finger to test how sharp they are. Then, he positions his finger so it’s lying horizontally across the top, and holds the fork up to peer at Kunikida and Chuuya through it, giving the illusion that they’re behind the bars of a jail cell. It’s a small joy, given the fact that Ranpo is now being forced to watch Chuuya sit themself on Kunikida’s lap, grinning fondly as Kunikida’s cheeks flush. Ranpo nudges Dazai with their elbow, and Dazai glares at them. Until Ranpo moves the fork so Dazai can also look at Kunikida and Chuuya through the imagined jail cell that they deserve to be in. At which point Dazai snorts, then covers his mouth and looks away innocently when Chuuya throws an irritated glance in their direction. Ranpo drops the fork and returns Chuuya’s annoyance with a pleasant smile.

#i just want to study ranpo and dazai's dynamic it is soooo fascinating to me #anyway i started this a while ago and haven't worked on it in a bit but i think about it sometimes #souheki qpr could be so fun i think #ty for the ask!!#ask game #poochyuno #grace's writing tag

What is the "tong incident" that your bio refers to? I've looked it up, but Tumblr's search is awful haha

Sorry it took me a bit to get to this! (although if you've ever sent me a poll ask, you're probably used to it)

I don't have a link, but the "Tong Incident" refers to a poll that got a LOT of notes for a very specific reason a few months ago, entirely centered around this

Yup. A pair of tongs. The problem is, they had EVERY name for this, EXCEPT tongs! And people LOST IT over that! I think it has somewhere between 150k and 200k notes by now?

Now I'm not sure if everyone else refers to things like this, but to me "Tong Incident" type polls means when people make polls that intentionally make people feel negative emotions just to get notes!

I have a personal rule, when it comes to having an online presence (I may not be a big blog, but it makes a difference!). I want to make something that people can be happy browsing, no matter what. Everything I post, I do everything I can to avoid making things more unfriendly. Not every opinion has to be put on the internet! Not every take must be talked about! Not every upsetting thing is a 'problem'!

I'm ranting.

The point is, the Tong poll made me realise that a lot of polls are made to upset people into giving them more notes. I love to get notes; reblogs feel amazing. But I refuse to get those at the expense of upsetting people! I would rather get my following the right way, rather than exploiting the system of tumblr.

#not a poll #now let me say; when I say 'not everything has to be said' I mean that we should think to ourselves.#'is there any benifit to me posting about/complaining about this? will this make anyone else feel better? will this make ME feel better?'#because sometimes #when you spend all of your time complaining #you stop noticing the good in your life #I'm a poll blog. I'm just 1 person doing what I can to make other people happy. I might not have the best advice or the largest following #but its a nice thing to consider. The smallest thing you do can make someone else happy #There's a fun game I play in my IRL life actually that focuses on that!#When I pass someone on the street or I'm at a cashier or something #I make it a point to find something; just ONE thing about them I can compliment #And it usually makes their day! I love getting into conversations with absolute strangers about their hair and how they dyed it you know?#Okay I know that's a lot of tags now #Thank you for the ask #I really wanted a chance to rant about that <3

thinking about chongyun in a dnd esque fantasy setting and he'd probably be a sorcerer paladin. i can't decide if he'd be a sorcerer or a wizard though, would his yang energy be considered innate magic? or would his upbringing in thaumaturgy make him a wizard? this actually brings up interesting questions about chongyun's lore aka whether or not his bloodline has magical ancestry. Is it innate or cultivated/learned throughout generations? ooo.. he could be a wild sorcerer, someone who struggles wielding their innate magic..

but anyway, xingqiu imo would be a rogue fighter maybe? more fighter than rogue... giving him the latter class just because he's a sneaky lil shit

it's easier to give chongyun and xingqiu dnd classes because their weapons and chara stories slot easily into the categories, but for characters who are generic fighters like xiangling and hu tao, it's a little hard to give them something specific. but it allows for some creative liberty so i will say hu tao is a wizard. Xiangling would be a ranger (good for hunting and foraging)

Gaming, my boy, would be a bard and a fighter. yunjin a bard, xinyan also a bard (they'd be a little troupe hehe).

I was watching dunmesh w a friend and we started talking about dnd and bg3. they're more well versed in fantasy terminology so i'm learning as i go. super fun to think about though. i quite adore dnd and fantasy settings a lot

#tangy talks genshin #mm i don't think i'll ever expand upon this au #i just like categorizing.. genshin's current “class” groups are too linear imo.. like yep this person wields a claymore #it's always fun to specify their roles a bit. i think combat abilities in fantasy settings creates lots of avenues for character identities #which just makes them a lot funner to construct... i appreciate this most in fiction. this is why i dont rly like modern aus if the source #material is fantasy sometimes. i think for chongyun's case though his yang energy could be translated to a neurodivergent trait eg autism #but the thing is chongyun to me is already autistic in the context of canon LOL so his yang energy is something a little bit separate-#-from that #wow these tags are long as hell #chongyun #xingqiu #hu tao #xiangling #yunjin #gaming #the more i think about this the more i appreciate chongyun FHSDJG he's so cool cmon. i love him

Exit Wounds

◇ cw for blood, injury, and some not so pleasant medical descriptions

He stayed conscious longer than he thought he would.

Thankfully, long enough to make an inspiring speech to stick it to Phantylia before she retreated. But the fight took its toll and darkness claimed him soon after.

Jing Yuan hadn’t received any kind of significant injury in battle for hundreds of years. Perhaps he had gotten too…complacent. He was a good fighter of course, but compared to the frontrunners of his peers…

Despite Phantylia's defeat she got a few last laughs in. When consciousness returned to the General his mind was a disorienting blurred mess. He didn’t know what he had been doing or where he was. People were moving him, talking, rushing around doing something he couldn’t make out through his swirling vision.

All he knew was pain.

It tore through him without mercy, like a rabid beast. It was as if every drop of his blood was attacking his flesh, the sensation permeating from his back. Too weak to move from where he lay the only sign of life consciousness were his muffled cries of pain.

Why…? Dan Heng—right, that was the wound from Cloud Piercer! But then why…

Phantylia’s taunts echoed in his ears.

For my next trick I’ll turn each of you into my voidrangers. The power of the Destruction will eat away at your flesh and transform you into pawns of the great Nanook!

The connection between himself and the ravager had been broken and yet—

The Destruction must still be in him. It may have lost its source, but with an open wound like the one in Jing Yuan it had a place to cling onto like an infection, still trying to turn him into Phantylia’s pawn.

The voices are talking to him, but he can’t make out what they’re saying. They must be from the Alchemy Commission.

Jing Yuan tries to speak, to say he doesn’t understand, that everything is all jumbled that it hurts like nothing he’s ever experienced before and please do something to grant him some kind of solace, but very few incoherent sounds actually make it out.

Then, a young voice cuts through the haze.

“General!” Bailu yelped.

No. Lady Bailu shouldn’t have to witness something like this!

He musters all his strength to try and sit up, act like he’s fine and hide the ugly sight, for he hates to scare her so, but his efforts are only rewarded with a fresh wave of fiery agony.

“Stop him from moving!” another voice shouts.

Hands grasp him by the arms forcing him still while others tend to his wound.

I’ll be fine, it’s worse than it looks, he tries to tell young Bailu. But all that comes out is tearful 'sorry's.

Bailu shushes him. Pushing past her shock she jumped right into helping.

Jing Yuan wasn’t well-versed in the healing arts. Nor was it easy to differentiate which pain he was feeling that was due to the healers' work and what was due to the Destruction. But he does wish he could be under during their efforts. Why didn’t they put him under? Were they afraid of how any sedatives would react with the Destruction?

The wound itself is its own grisly mess. Cloud Piercer wasn’t exactly known for having a dull blade after all. But if it was just flesh that needed to be mended and bleeding halted that would be easy for the Xianzhou medical technology, albeit it would take some time.

But then, sprouting from both sides that Cloud Piercer impaled him were jagged cracks of fragmentum corrosion. It kept growing and spreading, reopening the wound whenever the doctors tried to close it up.

They had no choice but to cut it out. They removed as much as they could that was deep in the wound and stitched up the rest but there were still jagged lines of darkness flecked with gold on his skin’s torso.

Lady Bailu concocts a medicinal pellet to suppress as much of the fragmentum's power as possible and manages to get Jing Yuan to take it. After the long arduous process is complete, the corrosive feeling from the Destruction begins to dull slightly, finally allowing him to speak fully.

“Thank you…”

_____

Jing Yuan is careful to keep the true severity of his injury to a few select people, most of them being the healers of the Alchemy Commission. He sees no need to create unnecessary worry. Besides, he’s reached a point where they are no longer fearful for his life. The effects of the Destruction were far from over, but the chance of it doing him in diminished significantly after Bailu’s consistent aid. Yanqing, Fu Xuan, the Astral Express crew… they should all be celebrating their victory and focusing on those who still needed aid in the aftermath of all this, not worrying about an old man.

He insists on attending the ceremony for the dead, despite Yanqing’s protests. Jing Yuan plays off the severity, joking with his retainer that he’s too eager to take his place. Yanqing relents and stops making a fuss about him attending.

His whole body is sore, it takes all his effort to mask his exhaustion as the Luofu sees the released Starskiffs off. But it is the right thing to do. Jing Yuan survived. Again. The least he could do is honor the memory of those who died.

It could have easily been him after all.

But it wasn’t.

Why did he always remain?

Why did it have to be him?

#(here pain suffer with me c: HSR is a fun game with no sads)#spoilers cw #(sometimes you gotta bullie your fav)#(I JUST THINK its sussy how he seemeD to be fine in his next scene)#blood cw #infection cw #(idk how else to tag this but if someone needs something lmk)#calculated not lazy; mostly [jing yuan]#tampering with forbidden knowledge [lore]

I never get it when Death Grips fans go on and on about how "everyone finds Death Grips unlistenable the first time they listen to it but then it grows on you" because I do not have that experience in the slightest. I listened to Takyon and got into it pretty much instantly. Funny because usually I have to listen to songs more than once for me to start liking them but the supposed "grows on you" music was an instant click

laughing at people talking about the lgbt rep in gbvs and specifically avoiding talking about Belial. Like, making a list of the lgbt chara and not mentioning Belial.

We know he is toxic rep but own up to it. Belial didn’t give us the most fascinating arc of toxic devotion through death and lack of self worth to become the most beloved and incredible antagonist of the saga for u to not count him just because he’s a baddie. Who hasn’t started two apocalypses for their lover once anyway.

#mister is out there whoring himself out showing his sideballs and he's not even put on rep lists despite being a hero of fanservice #like booo where's our representation for messy bitches who can't handle a break up did you think of that #(trying to resist getting serious in the tags about how it's fine he's toxic since he's a foil to Sandalphon who's also gay and not toxic)#(like yknow when it's clearly narratively driven and not because 'eheh gay scary')#But i don't want to be serious while the other reason is just that i think Belial being toxic makes him hella fun sorry he's not boring #also apparently another fighting game from the same company that distribute gbvs has added a second trans chara to their rooster #so that's why now i see so many tweets about the lgbt rep in gbvs #but booo coward move to ignore belial com'on #ichatalks about gbf #ichasalty #also it's really funny bc it's like no mention of Belial but mentioning Vira as 'feral lesbian'#i'm so glad we moved past accusing Vira of being toxic rep but this is such a whiplash as well #also ultimately my ultimate serious take is that #the lgbt charas in granblue especially are so fleshed out as individuals that it's about them as characters #not as arbitrary 'good' or 'bad' rep #(ofc to some exceptions and esp like. mishandled stuff. but that's not the topic rn)#they have flaws because they're fleshed out #some of them have horrible flaws because this is a story with stakes as high as corrupting powers and apocalypses #and themes that escape the limits of human limitations (re: primal beasts losing it to immortality and purpose)#sometimes to allow chara to be interesting and fleshed out in depth you have to accept they won't be entierely positive rep and it's fine #it's about whenever they make the narrative interesting #GOD I SAID I DIDNT WANT TO GET SERIOUS IN THE TAGS #belial makes me think unwise don't start weird stuff in my replies thanks bye

Excessively Detailed Asks: 1, 5, 19, and 48 for both Reed and Mercy

[ prompt ] @fuzzydreamin

1: What does their bedroom look like?

but in all reality- I'm weird about making 'spaces' for my OCs in settlements and have examples of Reed's here(his is the second 'room' pictured, with the teal blanket on the top bunk + dog bed) and two versions of Mercy's here and here(coastal cottage one is more accurate decor-wise, but i think i'm going with the lighthouse for her designated home location since i like that spot better).

Basically Reed rotates between a handful of settlements, the closest he really has to a permanent living space is the one he shares with Delta. He just flat out doesn’t own enough stuff to be messy(not that he would be anyways- at most there’d just be a bit of clutter) and 95% of the clutter shown would be going with him, it’s just spread out here instead of in a bag. There’s not really anything personal that’d be left here when he leaves.

Mercy’s kind of in the same line as Reed- she’s primarily a drifter and just isn’t going to unpack personal items & decor with that lifestyle. She does tend to end up with some clutter & decor when she eventually finds somewhere to live long-term though- she grows a lot of plants in her home, & also likes collecting and displaying bones, wet specimens, taxidermy, and (when possible) irradiated glassware just for fun. Like she’d be collecting the old radioactive fiestaware & would have vaseline glass and whatnot. Her spaces typically look lived-in but not excessively messy or disorganized.

5: Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)

Kind of the same for both here, too: in general they’re both pretty concerned about cleanliness and they don’t like having excessively messy or chaotic living spaces, but Mercy’s generally a bit more relaxed about it. Reed’s spaces can get a bit cluttered over time if he’s staying somewhere for a while(which rarely happens), but that’s more due to his ‘collecting’ habit than anything else.

19: What do they think about before falling asleep at night?

Reed can’t really do that without getting himself worked up & he typically tries to avoid it- in general he’s the type that doesn’t really try to sleep unless he’s ready to crash, & at that point he’s too exhausted to think about much.

Mercy usually just reflects on her day & plans for the following day/week/what have you, & maybe mulls over feelings about things if there’s something she’s conflicted on. She doesn’t usually think about anything very specific & it’d just vary by the day

48: How do they express love?

Reed: primarily gifts & actions. He has a habit of collecting things he sees that he thinks specific people will like & giving it to them next time he sees them. He’s also the type that’s just going to do things for the other person- make food, get supplies for them when he’s getting stuff for himself, offer to repair things that he notices aren’t working right, etc etc. He also really likes physical touch and can be very affectionate when he cares about people, but he’ll stop if asked or if he picks up that they’re uncomfortable with it.

Mercy: She’s just flat out going to say it- she’s generally pretty direct about her feelings and will try to make sure the other person knows. She’s not really subtle about it, she wants to make sure the other person knows that she cares about them and why. She also tends to praise a lot and will tell someone if she likes something that they do.

#ask games #thank you!💖#Reed tag #mercy tag #regarding the screenshots: there’s little pieces of all 3 of my OCs in both ‘homes’ :^)#Reed just straight up lives in both places + Delta and Mercy visit each other often #also Reed’s just affectionate like a cat. likes hanging out with people and sometimes likes sitting on laps and being pet or whatever #like if they’re sitting next to each other on a couch he’s probably going to be kind of touching them in some way but it’s super lowkey #I think I still have art posted showing that- he’s sitting with Danse and their legs are touching #meanwhile mercy will just flat out be like ‘i love that you do XYZ thing’#she just really likes to make sure there’s not really any room for questioning if she likes something/someone if that makes sense #rip I meant to post this before work and just. forgot #fun fact Reed *always* has one of those stupid jangles plushies in his space #I have no idea why I started doing that just like. his Thing. there’s always gonna be a jangles somewhere #I haven’t decided if it’s something *he* does or if it’s just how I designate spaces
