Half of January and no memes?
Let's solve this.
If anyone wants to know, I RP these dorks and my seldom-used fic journal is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
atomicdaydream.
Pick a character I write, and I will give you the top five ideas or concepts or factoids I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to depicting him or her accurately. This includes original characters and characters about whom I write fanfic.
If anyone wants to know, I RP these dorks and my seldom-used fic journal is
atomicdaydream.Comment with a pairing and I'll tell you:
1. When I started shipping them
2. What I think their challenge is
3. What makes me happy about them
4. What makes me sad about them
5. What moment I wish had never happened
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other
7. My happily ever after for them
no subject
Ling/Ran Fan
no subject
2. What I think their challenge is: He's a prince and she's his bodyguard. Even if they did like each other, she probably wouldn't let it happen because of the social status. And since he does become the emperor, the other noblemen would have a lot to say if he takes such a girl as his lover.
3. What makes me happy about them: That he considers him so valuable despite being a servant. It shows that Ling is a good leader and a grounded guy in the end who doesn't mind status that much.
4. What makes me sad about them: Fu's death? ;_;
5. What moment I wish had never happened: I can't think of one. I'm a little sad that Greed died, although he'd make things more complicated.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I don't like other pairings with Ling TBH (I prefer platonic bromances)
7. My happily ever after for them: Actually, I don't think they CAN get a happily ever after as a couple and I'm okay with this. What happened in the end is the next best thing: they helped saving the world, he's got the throne, they saved the clan (and Mei's), and Lan Fan is still by his side
no subject
Howl/Sophie
2. What I think their challenge is: Two volatile people with magical powers under the same roof. The wonder isn't only that they stay together: it's that they stay alive, period! XD
3. What makes me happy about them: You know how the movie was very Beauty and the Beast trope. In the novel, they're the ANTI!BatB. I mean sure, Sophie still goes from unattractive granny to cute girl, but the point is that they fall in love despite of their inner flaws and they don't try to change for the other. Sophie gets more confidence and ego. Howl gets more impossible as the books go on. If anything, they get worse, but they love this and can keep it functional regardless.
4. What makes me sad about them: We barely see them together in the next books :( There's barely Morgan, too.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: It's a pity that Howl had to go to war with Strangia on royal orders, not only because he had to make killing spells but also it brought him and his family a lot of shit in CitA.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Not really an alter pairing, but I want them on a triple date/OT6 with Fujimoto/the sea goddess and Chrestomanci/Millie so much.
7. My happily ever after for them: IT'S PERFECT AS IT IS

And, you know, basically YES to everything. (From the first book, at least. :P) You know how much I agree about them loving each other despite their flaws.

Is this where I remind you to read the two sequels and pass you the ebooks, or do I do it later?

2. He does mean it about not wanting to angst, 100%. The above thing affected him, but he's not going to be playing emo music in a dark room. He'll just focus on more positive feelings instead and try to make better friends from now on. Weirdly enough, I believe he was lonely in the aftermath of case 4-4, but he didn't approach Apollo et al because he didn't know what to say or if he was welcomed. I also play him with newfound trust issues, which is curious in such an extroverted character. He trusts Apollo, okay, but the betrayals are a hinder towards becoming his bro.
3. He might've decided to go with laws, but the music is still important to him. My headcanon is that they also broke the band because Daryan's departure caused a bad situation between the remaining Gavinners and it just wasn't the same if they replaced members. He still has good friends in the band and they still meet to jam sometimes, though. He's thought about recording a solo album or two in the future. Either way, he'll always love music and guitars and singing. And if stuck in a game where there are no legal systems, he'll embrace it as a career again.
4. He's an old-fashioned gentleman despite being a rockstar. I KNOW, IT'S CONTRADICTORY. But he comes from a posh family and he was raised as a well-mannered guy -and he normally is, unless he feels like being sarcastic, or he dislikes the person since he won't be a hypocrite like Kristoph. His attention to females isn't only his flirty fop side, it's also him being old-fashioned and complimenting a lady and smiling at her, so he's too polite with fangirls, young girls, hot chicks, middle-aged women, old ladies, etc. (Also, not being in crime scenes in charge of Ema Skye is because he's aware that she hates him breathing on her neck, so he lets her be, to be polite.) Plus, he's refined and educated, knows a great deal about all kind of topics, even fancy literature/poetry and classical music. And he loves some of it, too! It's just lots more fun to be a rebel rocker with the motorcycle and put on the silly accent, you know?! He avoids the vices that come with it, however. So really, perfect son-in-law.
5. And most important: he might be nicer, more sincere, and less victory-oriented than the others, but he's still a fucking Ace Attorney prosecutor! He's still proud, overconfident, egotistic, perfectionist, smarter-than-thou (or so he thinks), with a superiority complex, too focused on evidence, fan of logic, showoff, eccentric, sarcastic, former boy genius. Hell, probably even several times more than the others because his artistic success also went to his head, and if Kristoph's elitism is a hint of his upbringing he was likely a rich brat through all his life. So yeah, nicer guy, but he has double the ego of a normal prosecutor, which is a LOT.

most times. OKAY, SO WAKA.1. So, his clairvoyance first. His prophecies always come true, yes, but they're also quite limited. He doesn't know absolutely everything that's going to happen, something that's made obvious by the Ark of Yamato tragedy. It's a little like Rachel and the Oracle of Delphi, Waka sorta gets mugged by visions sometimes or something. He gets the context by himself on the get-go (headcanon here: he complements his visions with a little fortune-telling, as he's an onmyouji master after all.) In either way, he can tell in a story/RP event how things are going to end up, but not the details or Shyamalan twists.
2. He's particularly rude and a teaser to people he respects (or know he will eventually) because he doesn't want to come off as transparent -it's not exactly tsundere, more like keeping the poker face that's a prerequisite for cryptic bastards. He really admires Amaterasu, even to the point of crush. He picked on fights to make her more alert as she was quite rusty when she woke up; he was worried that she couldn't confront the big demons in that derpy state. This is why he stopped challenging her to duels as soon as she defeated the Crimson Helm: he thought she was decent enough by then. He's also fond of Issun, and the teasing is more because his reactions are hilarious -but Waka did find awful that he stole his friend Ishaku's painting, so a little of the rudeness is heartfelt.
3. He's a big troll. As soon as a shounentard or someone with a moody personality shows up, he must poke him/her. He takes great pleasure in being a cryptic bastard, but at the same time he's convinced he's helping them somehow when he annoys them -it builds character and the hints may be useful, or so he claims. He takes great advantage of the, uh, cultural differences of his species to weird people out. Most Tao Trooper recruits end up mortified of having such an eccentric captain to work for. But really, Waka has a great time being a zen asshole.
4. About his MANPAIN: he does feel guilty, he does feel angsty, but as a prophet he is aware that he cannot live with his eyes turned to the past. So his approach to regret is let it behind and make up for his sins and mistakes with his actions instead of locking himself in a room listening to flute covers of Linkin Park songs. This is why he forces himself to be cheerful and believe in a better tomorrow (and he truly thinks so, he's not that much of a cynical.) It's harder when the MANPAIN source is in the future (knowing of someone dying, for instance) so he tries not to attach himself to others too much and think of people as ephemeral as cherry blossom petals. Otherwise he'd turn crazy(ier).
5. In my headcanon, he's a behind-the-scenes manipulator. I tinhat-ly believe that a) the prophecy about the silver sword Kotone was made by him 200 years ago, b) he installed a lot of Lunar techie shit in Kamui, including the Spirit Gate (he figured that for some demons Amaterasu was too weak even in her best shape, so timey-wimey to multiply her presence looked like... a good idea at the time) leaving the key to the Poncles, c) in the period between his fall from the Ark by Yami and Amaterasu's victory, he took the extra time to finish fixing the ship -also, end-of-game trolling-, d) he was the one who gave Amaterasu's mirror shield to little Sakuya, telling her not to wake the goddess up until Orochi's return.

2. Mentally speaking, Teddie lies between the innocence of a little kid and the needs of a preteen boy. The former is a personality trait, the latter comes from prevalent contact with teenagers influencing his mentality. He says and does a lot of pervy things, but he doesn't completely grasps them yet. But he is easily swayed by influence, and living with Yosuke DOES NOT HELP. This is why suddenly he was so interested in shit like girls in bikinis and yukata, or suddenly being allergic to gay (I think all people in P4 are bisexual, actually.)
3. This is a theory: Shadows are representations of repressed parts of your personality, right? I think Teddie is a Shadow being born of something good repressed. I mean, bad people also repress positive feelings. This is why he wasn't interested in attacking anyone, and maybe the reason he was special enough to develop his own mind.
4. He was lonely and bored for a really long time. This makes him incredibly happy to be involved in social situations and making friends, to the point he's so keen he overdoes everything. He's so grateful he can be accepted by humans, even if others are a little mean to him sometimes. He tries really hard to get others to like him but without sacrificing everything of his own quirkiness. Yet he still holds on to strange ideas of what he thinks humans find cute: cartoon bear, androgynous bishounen coming out of a shoujo manga, etc.
5. The reason of the hollow bear form becoming a suit is a parallel of the masks we use. Teddie grew his new body inside and shed it because it was still a part of what he was. He'd never even think of just transforming the bear into a boy directly and letting the old skin to disappear into the unconscious. He considers the bear suit a part of his body he can just detach, and doesn't understand why his human friends think it's so gross/bizarre! He honestly believed they were going to find it so cool.
