For the character ask game: Dismas + 4, 15, 16, 17, 21 <3

character ask game

Thank you for sending some very good questions!

4) If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

I have two that come to mind immediately: Fear and Hunger, and League of Legends.

Given the setting, I think Fear and Hunger wouldn't be that much of a change in terms of horrors that he'd be pit up against, but I'd be curious to see how his owning a gun would change the game (I don't know shit about Termina so no spoilers). Also the idea of going through the Dungeon as a form of repentance for his past sins really draws my interest.

LOL is the less serious answer. I just think it would be neat for him to be from Bilgewater and see all the shenanigans he'd get himself into as a rogue/pirate.

15) What’s your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn’t matter if it’s canon or not.)

You're asking the person who wrote "Dismas and lovers"?

I have many, to tell the truth: one, the most obvious one, is Reymas, because old men yaoi, but one less obvious is Dismas/Barristan, becuase EVEN OLDER MEN YAOI.

I also really like Dismas/Audrey. I can see them as friends with benefits that develop a romantic relationship.

Oh, and Dismas/Tardif because hate sex is good.

16) What’s your least favorite ship for this character?

Well, there aren't many Dismas ship going around, since Reymas is very polarizing, but having written him in a romantic relationship with all the characters for my series, I'll say that I really can't see him in a reationship with Paracelsus, Josephine and Amani, so I guess these are my least favorite ships.

17) What’s a ship for this character you don’t hate but it’s not your favorite that you’re fine with?

Again, with Reyman almost being the only one Dismas ship going around, there isn't really anything that comes to mind, apart from the ones I've mentioned in the previous answer.

Maybe idk Dismas/Willam? It would be cute, I guess, but it isn't really something I think about.

21) If you’re a fic writer and have written for this character, what’s your favorite thing to do when you’re writing for this character? What’s something you don’t like?

The thing I like about Dismas is his determination and his desire for redemption. I like writing him as a sort of uncle figure to the other characters, and I think he slots well with everyone, if put in the right circumastance.

I don't think there is something I don't like about writing him.

oh yes ask games! how about 3 - 8 - 14 with akihiko?

Yay, thanks anon!

I still accept asks for this ask game btw! Send some :3

3) Least favorite canon thing about this character?

That he becomes a cop hooooly shit. Making my favorite character become a cop is pure evil, man.

Like, I'm sorry, but if the objective was to making him protect even the average person, then becoming a cop is the worst way to go about it.

Copaganda aside, the way he gets flanderized by canon itself will never not be sad to make. It makes liking him a bittersweet experience, because I've fallen in love with him for reasons that now basically don't exist anymore, because I suppose having a sporty character also be smart was too much for Atlus.

The way he's gotten reduced to a dumb musclehead obsessed with protein fills me with rage, and the fact that they've gone all the way to change him in Reload to follow what they did to him in Arena feels me with even more rage!

I can ignore canon and pretend he never appears in anything else beside P3, and I surely won't be looking forward new games he stars in, knowing what they've done to him.

8) What’s something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

If I have to read one fucking protein joke...

The fact that so many people go along with Akihiko's flanderization makes it really hard to find decent fan content about him. I ESPECIALLY hate when they make him dumb, when he's shown to be quite intelligent, just socially awkward.

14) Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Prep, obviously.

I don't care for this outift in Arena, there were better ways to show that he's been brawling in the streets without going for that eyesore that they've chosen for him.

do you think naesala might be bisexual

of course not, anon, after all he's in a relationship with leanne, and we all know that bisexual people in heterosexual relationships don't exist 🥰

2, 5, 18? :D

✍️ more fic writer asks!

2. a character whose POV you’re currently exploring

I am annotating a lot of bits and sentences following FE10's Naesala's POV

I used to write a lot about him when I first started writing fics, so it feels like returning home. I've always enjoyed try to get in his head and write things from his POV

Now that I'm older and my writing style feels more mature, it's even better

5. first sentence of the fifth paragraph of an unpublished WIP

"Sanaki doesn’t answer verbally: she pouts and she looks about, keeping quiet." (From a wip about her and Naesala post game)

13. if you keep them, share a deleted sentence or paragraph from a published fic

Unfortunately, once I delete something it's deleted forever

I do have the tendency of deleting a lot of stuff, as I have the tendency of keeping adding and adding and adding to a sentence, only to realize once I reread it that it's too much

7, 18, 20 & 26 for the fantic author ask game :]

7) What fic are you the proudest of?

Probably Golden Age. It was gift for a Fire Emblem gift exchange that was kind of hard for me to write because it featured characters I care little about and ships I don't like, as well as containing many different prompts within the request.

I've managed to write most of them in a way I believe it's pretty compelling, so I'm pretty proud of it.

How do you decide what POV to write in?

God directly tells me himself.

Jokes aside, I go on instinct most of the time. I do have a tendency of picking the pov of the character I like less of the two, though it isn't a behavior I've ever analyzed that much.

What made you start writing?

For fanfiction in particular, I've started as a way to practice english, then it took over my life so I've never stopped.

What is your favorite part about writing?

I love it when I first get the idea, and immediately start writing it down on paper.

I've accumulated quite the collection of journals, full of either a couple of sentences or even fleshed-out fics. I'm very proud of the fact that I've managed to have left a part of the writing process to actually writing down something on paper, rather than typing it on a computer

[bi-naesala]

HOMIE how is it that I see you on tumblr and I realise I’m seeing stuff that I’ve already seen somewhere else and then I’m like ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is the person who has literally invaded my ao3 bookmarks with all these absolutely fire fics what the hell !!!!!!!!!! It really is a small world thank you for literally everything that I’m religiously rereading at the moment

ps. I am writing this from work I’m supposed to be mopping the floor rn whoops 💀

AJSJDJSSJ THANK YOUUUUUUUUU

yeah i cross-post my stuff on ao3 and my other socials so it's easier to find it ahahahaha

really thank you so much, it makes me unbelievably happy that you like my fics 🥹🥹🥹🥹

also look, of i've learned anything about jobs, it's that they are the perfect time to be on tumblr lmao cause i do the same too

[bi-naesala]

4,5 and 23 for shinjiro please :)

Thank you for the ask anon!

I'm still accepting asks for this ask game, so don't be afraid to ask away!

4) If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

I'll be honest, this is a difficult question because I never thought about crossovers with him.

Thinking about the themes, however, I would like to see him in Darkest Dungeon, especially the second game, since its core narrative is about people being fallible but pushing through their failures for a better future.

I can see him being a tank type character, and his Shrines of Reflection (places you can visit that reveal parts of the backstory of a character and unlocks skill for them) would be about how he accidentally killed someone, and his current version would be seeking redemption for what he has done.

5) What’s the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Salt by Caligula's Horse, though that might be a bit of a cheating response 'cause I associate part of that song to Akihiko and part to Shinjiro.

Another one I associate to him is Windowpane by Opeth.

I suggest everyone to check these songs out and their respective band 'cause they're great, but beware that these are long songs shjhjdhf

23) Favorite picture of this character?

At the risk of sounding basic, his Reload image.

See? Reload did some good things after all! And here he also has big transfem vibes that I love eheheheh
