♡ Rules! ♡

So it’s come to my attention that some of the asks I’ve been getting are a bit... questionable. Not to worry! Most of you are fine! But I’m going to put some rules down just in case.

1. I have the right to delete asks if they make me uncomfortable

2. Please no nsfw, I am a minor

3. Meme/crack asks should be kept between 1 and 2 posts, I would prefer to keep it within that range

♡ Thank you for your consideration! ♡

[ask-the-tempest-king]

Hello! I would like to use this as my own rule set (considering that this came from another one of my ask blogs) so please keep this in mind! Note that I will do mild nsfw, but nothing too extreme please. Thanks!

this may or may not be really subtle self promo

//Edit, 8/29/20: Please ask me if you want to start a thread beforehand, either through asks or a DM. Thank you!

// Edit, 10/29/20: If you send any asks that break the fourth wall, Dimitri will be oblivious about anything from ‘our’ world. I will answer them but I do not suggest you ask questions of that nature.

I just wanted to pop in and let you know that you're a sweet, darling man and that you are loved.

O-Oh, thank you, that's very kind of you to say. I appreciate your kind words, it is hard to remember how many people care about me sometimes so I appreciate the reminder for that as well. I'm still left in awe of how many people care about me, I can only hope that I do not fail them when they have put so much faith and trust in me.

Dimitri >_< -Ball Anon appears- I want you to throw me as hard as you can, I am ball

Are you sure that's a good idea? You may be a ball, but I do not wish to cause you significant damage. I can throw you with a moderate amount of strength if it pleases you, but I'm somewhat afraid of what exactly may transpire if I chose to use all my strength to throw you...

Your majesty, would you like a hug? I assume being the king of Faegast (i hope i spelled that right) can be quite exhausting and considering what you've went through, you really, really need a hug. If you'd like, i can also add hair strokes and reassuring words that everything will be ok and you're doing great. I just want you to be happy is all

Ah, I'm flattered at your offer, thank you. I would appreciate a hug, though I hope you aren't doing this because you feel obligated to. Despite my past hardships, I have still managed to come out mostly alright in the end. If it were not for my close friends and allies, things may have gone far worse for me. I thank you for the sentiment, it is nice to know that so many people wish to see me well. And, if you do not mind me correcting you, the correct spelling is Faerghus. It's quite the tricky name to spell if you're not used to it, and I do not fault people for misspelling it.

*A female cat walks into Dimitri's room while he's sleeping and gently paws his face.*

*groggily wakes up* Hmm..? Oh, hello there. How did you get in here? *gently scratches the cat behind the ears* Ah, I see I left my balcony door open before going to bed last night, you must be quite the clever cat to have made your way up here. Well, so long as you are clean, you may sleep with me here for the night. *chuckles* You really are quite the interesting cat, I did not expect someone like you to get all the way up here. Ah well, goodnight.

Have you ever accidentally found yourself in the moat and had to fish yourself out?

Thankfully, I have not. Even in my most absentminded moments, I was fortunate to have guards around to shout at me to make sure I didn't lose my footing and fall in. It may seem rude as I say it here, and I apologize because I mean no disrespect to them. They merely let me know to make sure I know where I'm going, and it helps break me out of whatever train of thought I was immersed in. I'm grateful to them for their work, surely a cloak as large as mines would be quite the hindrance to try to swim with if I did ever fall in.

Your majesty, earlier today I was helping at one of the orphanages in Fhirdiad and encountered a little girl with the Crest of Blaiddyd. I can guess she’s your cousin, not your daughter, especially given your late uncle’s… Habits. Should she be brought to the palace, if for no other reason than many things here already being reinforced so your family members can’t accidently break them?

I.... see. I was aware that my uncle's habits were rather unsavory, but I wasn't aware of the repercussions of it. I suppose that was the boon of youth, the fact that I was oblivious of what exactly my uncle was doing and only hearing of it in hushed tones. I believe that bringing her to the palace will do her good, regardless of the circumstances of her birth. She is family, and I will ensure that she is treated as such. Here she can learn how to control her strength, as unpredictable as it inevitably will be due to the nature of our shared Crest. No one should have to suffer from the carelessness of my late uncle, and I can only hope that she will thrive here.

[ask-the-tempest-king]

Hello, good sir~! I am here to tell you the best news yet. Do you know you're a very wonderful person?

O-Oh well, thank you. That's very kind of you to say that. You surely must be a wonderful person too, seeing as you've come to take the time to say this to me. Thank you very much again for your kind words, I truly do appreciate them.

[ask-the-tempest-king]

*Lightly bonks him on the head... with a hobby horse*

*is bonked* Oh! Well, hello to you too. That's quite an adorable little horse you have there, I haven't seen one of those since I was a young child. Quite an interesting way to see one again after so long. It really is nice to see one now, and in such an amusing way at that.

[ask-the-tempest-king]

It's been a while, Mitri. I hope you're faring well. Please remember to rely on others once in a while and take care of your own health as well. I realize that your work must be stressful at times, so I've made a cup of chamomile for you.

Ah, thank you! I am doing as well as one might expect, it's busy but fulfilling work and I'm glad to be able to make a difference for the people. Do not worry, I've been learning ways to take care of myself, and I have the help of those dear to me when I need it. Thank you for the tea as well, I appreciate it. Ah, now that I think of it, a tea break sounds lovely right now. Would you like to join me? I can arrange to have more tea served for us so I'm not the only one enjoying the fine tea and weather.

[ask-the-tempest-king]

Here you go, Dimitri. *gives you a bouquet of blue roses* Can you please put those in front of your stepmother's grave if she has one?

That is... a very complicated question. There isn't a proper grave for either her or Father, the wreckage all but incinerated them there. There lies a grave marker for both Stepmother and Father, so I will be sure to leave it there. *touches the petals softly* Blue roses, hm? An intriguing color. Thank you very much for these, I'm sure she will appreciate these, wherever she is.

[ask-the-tempest-king]

I'm Back! (I think)

*awkwardly waves* Hi everyone, it's been a while hasn't it? Sorry, college has taken a lot out of me and i've only just scrounged up the motivation to come back to this blog! I will be closing the inbox for the time being so I can get through older asks (that are 6+ months old ;u;) so don't be alarmed if the option for it isn't there right now!

Also! I won't be particularly bothered if I get asks for Three Hopes, but I don't see myself being very invested in it, so I don't know how well I will be able to answer asks regarding it. I won't know very much about it, but I will use a spoiler tag for it out of courtesy.

[ask-the-tempest-king]

How does it feel to be so cool?

M-Me? Cool? Oh, I wouldn't say that... But I'm honored that you would think so. I guess I just feel like myself? I don't know how else to respond to this, but I thank you for your kind words. I think if you should call someone cool, it would be you. You're very cool to say something this kind to me.

If you were ever to have a son, would you be happy if he were to choose a Duscurian woman as his queen?

If I were to have a son, I would be happy with whoever he chose to have as a partner. Their country of origin means nothing to me as long as my son and his partner love and care for each other. But if it was a woman from Duscur specifically, I would be more than happy to welcome her into the family. I would hope their union can help repair the divide between our two lands, and bring a greater understanding of each other as people and not enemies. My original point stands though, love should have no boundaries and I would only wish to see my son be happy.

[ask-the-tempest-king]

I heard that you are going to start allowing people from all walks of life representation in governance. How exactly are you going to make that work? Are nobles angry at you for doing that?

Yes, that is true. How I intend to do that is create a sort of... meritocracy? Is that the correct word for it? The kingdom is already divided into smaller sections, and so it would simply be a matter of implementing a system where the aristocracy is slowly replaced with a republic where the people can vote for the leaders they want. It's very ambitious of me, I am aware, and something that is unlikely to be completed in my lifetime. But as long as I am able to create a solid foundation on which my successors can complete this, that is all I wish to do. My father attempted to do something like this during his lifetime, though from what I remembered the nobility did not take well to his more radical approach. Speaking of the nobility... They are not exactly pleased with the prospect of losing their power. But I wonder to myself as I watch the kingdom rebuild, is it not a good time to try and reform the country? The war has exposed the deep flaws within the system we use, the Crest system, so would it not be wise to take what we have learned from it and use it so we do not repeat our mistakes? I'm hoping for a more gradual approach to introducing a new system so that the nobles are more agreeable towards me. I understand why they would be wary of me, I did disappear for five years only to return half out of my mind. I'm too emotional for the more traditional nobles and I know they're afraid that I may snap again. So I am doing my utmost to ensure that I can work with them to gain their trust and prove that my plan is one that will help the people far into the future.

// Response // 

Why, this is lovely! I’ve received so many drawings people have made of me recently, I’m deeply honored and flattered that all of you have taken the time and energy to make art of me! The likeness you’ve made of me is quite adorable, I hope you don’t take offense to that. I hope this doesn’t come off as strange, but I enjoy it when people draw me smiling. To see another version of myself happy, even as a drawing, fills me with joy because it means that people have envisioned me this way while drawing me. Serious portraits of me are just as important, but these small personal drawings of me bring a smile to my face. Thank you very much for it.

Shinx Shinx! - (it seems Vika likes her name a lot)

*chuckles* I'm glad you like your name, and I hope you will find a happy and loving home here Vika. I still can't say for sure if I know how to properly care for you, but I will try my best to do so. *fondly ruffles her fur* I'm very glad to have you here with me, I can only hope that you will be as happy as you can.
