Ryan smiled in spite of himself.The city was well made. He had put his life into this place, and he was extremely proud of it. He nodded cordially, realising that he’d asked too simple of a question. If this had been an interview– something meriting interrogation– it would have been simple. Genuine interest made everything harder.

“I take it you’ve had a chance to explore, to sample the facilities?” Another yes or no question. He tried again, “What sort of activities do you pursue in your free time?” He sounded like the Reader’s Digest, he thought with an inward eyeroll.

It suddenly dawned on him that, perhaps, the man had been mocking him when he remarked on the city. He narrowed his eyes. “Unless Rapture isn’t interesting enough for you…?”

His brows rose slowly. It was painfully clear Ryan didn’t know what he was doing, which was… honestly pretty endearing. He wondered vaguely if he’d done anything to merit the Great Man putting in the effort to embarrass himself in front of him.

“If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were tryin’ to get friendly with me.” He could have put a harsher implication on it, but his tone only suggested friendship. For now, at least.

But before the implication could properly settle, he moved past it with a shrug, “Rapture’s plenty interestin’ - at least, it sure beats New York. Not every day you can get outta bed and see a whale passin’ by your window, or… y’know, the sorta stuff you see in Fort Frolic.”

It wasn’t that he was uncertain, it was that he very much considered the exercise a waste of time. If he had been here on business, he’d have been quite forceful– he’d have called ahead, at the very least. But to waste someone’s time– someone whose time was nearly as valuable as his own.. well, it wasn’t something he did lightly.

“We both know that isn’t true,” he settled for, leaning against the shelves slightly and crossing his arms. “I won’t take.. more than an hour.” He honestly wasn’t sure how these things usually went. He often saw men out together– having drinks, or participating in sports– but he wasn’t entirely sure how such a friendship worked behind closed doors. He rubbed at his mouth with a knuckle.

“I’d like to know more about you,” he said simply, managing not to slip ‘if that would be alright’ onto the end of the sentence. He loathed making personal inquiries, but he genuinely was interested in how the man’s life had been going since his arrival in Rapture. “You’ve been settling in well, I trust?”

“Sure.”

He watched the other man carefully. He still couldn’t believe that Ryan was speaking up to him. Being sure not to waste his time, like it really mattered. Like Ryan really wanted to know about him.

He shifted his weight and gave a casual shrug.

“Yeah, I’ve been gettin’ comfortable, sure.” But that wasn’t much of a conversation starter... he could tell Ryan wasn’t in familiar territory, and maybe that would be sweet if it wasn’t so funny. And just to tease him, his tone left the hint that the topic wasn’t impressing him, “You’ve got a, ah... a well-made city here.”

He wondered how nervous he could make him, by playing the uninterested part.

✎ What do you wish the author would reveal/had revealed about your muse?

Oh boy, that one’s tough... I honestly really like how little there is to go on for Fontaine. It keeps him mysterious, and I honestly like how everything you can learn about him is total guesswork. I feel like... rewarded, for noticing the things I did and using them to back up my headcanons.

Honestly, though... if anything I wish we hadn’t gotten his backstory in the novel. John Shirley did his best but the Fontaine he portrays really doesn’t mesh well with the Fontaine in the games and it honestly seems to make things over-complicated. Especially the whole Gorland-stole-Fontaine’s-identity-and-now-he’s-Fontaine thing, like... what?

#i have legit never reached a point where i said 'i wish i knew this about fontaine'#he's perfectly written imo #aside from yknow how stupid his plan was for killing jack at the end #outofaccent #skiphopfade

[[ expanding a bit on the whole “homophobic atlas” thing

one thing to note is that jack’s actual sexuality doesn’t affect anything. because jack doesn’t speak, so atlas wouldn’t know if he was gay. but if he found out, he’d treat jack pretty damn poorly for it.

also keep in mind, i play atlas/fontaine as bisexual. so, he’s not opposed to screwing another man. it’s mostly the idea of... romantic interest that seems “gay” to him. mostly because he’s somewhat aromantic himself. having sex with other men is fine, wanting to kiss them... gross.

basically, he’s the worst sort of person. that’s all i ever intend to play him as. ]]

✘ Any unpopular opinions about your muse?

Two big ones:

1 - Fontaine genuinely cares about Jack

Fontaine calls Jack the closest thing he has to a son, and I don’t think he’s lying when he says it. After all, he had every opportunity to give Jack a horrible childhood but he imprinted him with a great one. Jack’s memories tell him that everyone around him adored him, and his parents called him special, and nothing was ever bad. And until Ryan told him otherwise, Jack had a good friend who he was saving from hell. In Fontaine’s eyes, Jack would have been happy if Ryan hadn’t told him the truth. And that’s what’s important.

2 - Fontaine is transphobic and homophobic.

I’m... genuinely confused by the fact that this opinion seems to be unpopular. But a few people have brought up to me that Fontaine wouldn’t care if Jack was trans or gay, and I have to say, I very deeply disagree. Fontaine canonically uses homophobic slurs, and treats women like objects, and in the sort of world they live in where they barely understand the concept of transsexuality, it doesn’t make a lick of sense for him to be okay with it. Trans people, to him, are just gay people trying to make excuses for themselves. And gay people are freaks of nature.

And honestly... why would you want it to be any other way? Why make Fontaine a likable person? What do you gain from that??
