How would the ROs react to a clingy MC? (deep romance!)

In deep romance, I imagine all of them would be happy with a clingy MC, and return it themselves, lol!

But Adam/Ava would be reassured by the MC's presence after denying it for so long, so very happy for the clingy.

Nate/Nat would embrace that part of the MC, though assure the MC that it wasn't necessary.

Felix/Farah wouldn't notice that it was being clingy because they would be just as obvious in their clingy and assume that's how deep love relationships are!

Mason/Morgan would be very happy for that deeper emotional contact after so long without it and would be worried if the MC wasn't clingy! :D

...There's a lot of emotional issues going on in this team, so clinginess is definitely not an issue for them!

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

just a silly question but what are some real world like..modern (?) inventions u think the cast of DWD would like...

U GUYS HAVE SUCH CUTE IMAGINATIONS. I've never once considered this....

I think Taushin would love a CD player. Don't know why that was my first thought LMAO, but I just see him playing all sorts of music on a portable stereo to relax. Maybe card games too, since he'd wipe the floor with anybody. Also local BDSM dungeons where he can watch and aura farm in the corner. And then he'd love a shock collar for Angel....

Angel would also love the glorious invention of the shock collar, but there are lots of things he'd love in general! Anything delicate and small he could tinker with is up his alley. Actually, I was reminded recently of the existence of calico critters. He'd love setting up little houses full of them and making their tiny clothes!

Minx is easy. That bitch would LOOOOVE an iPhone. He'd join OnlyFans and make Jaguar take his pictures. He'd have every socmed on earth and text the most predatory men for sport. He'd want an Xbox too so he could play games and bully people online. I think if he discovered suckers he'd never put them down. Nischal would buy him every flavor but his favorite would be bubblegum. He'd also just chew gum all the time in general. He'd be insufferable.

Emery would get into audiobooks. And that would accidentally pipeline him into finding ASMR. Then he would be addicted to the corniest, most horny, most second-hand-embarrassing ASMR for the rest of his life and Taushin would discover him listening to it in his Bluetooth earbuds one day and make fun of him until he came in his pants. I mean cried. WHAAAAT

Jaguar likes pretty things. I think it would be cute if he got into baking cakes and decorating them. Maybe photography, too? Or those little birdhouse building kits. LMAO. He'd hang them up around the harem and check on them every day.

Nischal would be so happy to discover sewing machines. It would save him a lot of time with his work! And of course, dating apps. That guy would be the biggest sugar daddy.

Celty would probably fuck with zoos, broadway shows, and fancy cars (which she'd maintenance herself ofc).

Khoi needs more development before I'd be able to choose one for him! I'll have to get to know his personal interests when I write the prequel.

WHAT A FUN ASK TO THINK ABOUT. THANK YOU!

Consider:

Child Genesis finding and bringing home small, injured animals to nurse them back to health.

It’s not the worst inclination for a child, even one of wealthier backgrounds, so his parents let him have this — so as long as he keeps up with his studies — but they draw the line at him trying to bring a chickabo inside.

Unfortunately, they underestimated just how determined and stubborn their son was. Genesis bundled himself up and slept out in the stables with all the chocobos.

He doesn’t speak of those moments often, but no one who actually knew him (Angeal) was surprised when the first materia he mastered was a healing type.

SPOLERS FOR CH5 CONTENT!!! .

. So my air attuned wind runner cinnamon roll nb MC is officially down bad for Vicente. I cannot believe this hissy little heir keeps dropping their guard again and again around us and oh boy, that makes my little person want to RECIPROCATE. (Yes, told him mom's name. Partly bc it feels too unfair to lie when Vic keeps dropping these emotional landmine truth bombs.) We even get to pull the mom move of all times "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed"- like-- ouch. That one hits. It also feels like they're trying to show off for MC (seriously like a cat bringing a dead lizard), but instead they get scolded. I had my suspicions what Calliope was up to, but oh boy did that get heartwrenching. "momma" made me tear up. And it feels very in character for her to get so focused on it, she barely even realized how her avoiding MC would come across. Considering we got Bayram this chapter, though, I can't complain about her lack of presence in the chapter.... she wasn't left out either way, because she kept getting mentioned and thought about and I love how that shows she's included, whether physically present or not. Corinne will get another MC of her own to romance her as she deserves, but this one just can't. Still, I flirted with her a little bit anyway. Helping her with the ointment I wished for a more friendly approach, bc doing it by herself on her back when she might have strained something isn't great. Coming on to her and like.. false positive flirting made me feel a tad bit guilty, esp before establishing how we feel about her story. I didn't mean to lead her on, but watching her struggle to reach her shoulderblades from behind just feels mean. Our momma is a medic, we can help without feeling her up. Though I understand the temptation. Esp with the hair up and the.. well. Yes, she needs her own MC and playthrough next. Also by the way, I noticed that Corinne is out of breath and running in heavy armor in ch4 alongside MC. My Runner MC who is very fast. And has an unfair advantage when it comes to lung capacity. And STILL Corinne keeps up. This woman is a godess among men and Vicente should be afraid if they step out of line or get anyone under her injured doing so. She might not be sneaky, but she is fearsome and persistent and resilient to a point that borders on unreal. Also yes, she confirmed my MC is still very much bi. They can look. They have eyes. And hormones. Ahem. [part 2 to follow bc it does not send in one piece]

Lolz, I love this ask! I love the character rants and insights you guys have, it makes my heart happy. 😁

You’re right about Vicente. I also imagine there’s a bit of self sabotage going on there, albeit subconsciously.

Yes to everything you said about Corinne! While I’m surprised Bayram is last in my RO poll, I’m very pleased Corinne is third (last I checked, anyway). I mentioned before I was afraid people would hate her; I couldn’t say at the time that it was mostly due to her back story. I understand it’s a hard pill to swallow, but I’m glad to see people sympathetic to her.

That’s an excellent point about a friend helping her with the ointment. I’ll see what I can do!

okay, i have to talk about faith fraser being alive after all this time because—wow. that final scene in season 7 completely blew my mind, and i’m still piecing together what it could mean.

first, remember: faith was supposed to be stillborn. so how did she really survive? and if she did, how could she have possibly known the lullaby claire sings to her? that song wasn’t something passed down or learned—it’s a very personal moment, sung only after faith was born. so how did faith teach it to fanny? that timeline just doesn’t add up.

this opens up some wild possibilities:

master raymond’s involvement? given his mystical and manipulative tendencies, could he have saved faith through some dark means? maybe he had a secret role in ensuring her survival, whether medical or supernatural.

memory and trauma playing tricks? could the baby claire held in the hospital have been someone else? Or was that scene a traumatic hallucination or a symbolic vision, representing loss that wasn’t quite real?

faith was switched at birth? perhaps the grave and the funeral were for a different baby, and faith was hidden away for her safety, either by raymond or someone else.

time travel or mystical intervention? considering the show’s penchant for the mystical, maybe there’s a deeper magical or time-bending explanation we haven’t uncovered yet. what if faith’s survival ties into the stones or some other unexplored lore?

the song as a clue? if faith taught fanny the lullaby, could that mean faith has memories or knowledge that defy linear time? is there a hint here about the nature of the soul, memory, or even reincarnation? we know jamie has experienced dreams about things he couldn’t possibly have known—like moments from claire and bree’s time. notably, he dreamt of bree long before he ever saw any pictures of her.

this twist rewrites so much of what we thought we knew about the frasers’ story. it raises questions about identity, loss, and the limits of memory and history. i’m obsessed with unpacking how this will affect claire and jamie’s future — and what it means for the entire narrative.

what do you all think? any theories on how faith’s survival fits into the bigger picture? is this a mystical miracle, a hidden secret, or something else entirely? i’m all ears!

I’m sure some of my fellow old timers on here must have done colour insights or something similar at work, but I seriously can’t stop organising the MI gang into (what I think are) their colours!

okay so first off, for those who haven’t done it, we’ve got four colours: Cool Blue, Fiery Red, Earth Green and Sunshine Yellow. The idea is that most people will lead with one of these colours. It splits between introvert (Blue & Green) and extrovert (Yellow & Red) and they have their different traits - apologies for the bad screenshot!

So in my head we have the following (and feel free to ignore or disagree!):

Ethan:

Earth Green - super caring about his team (and people he’s just met - hey Grace), incredibly supportive, encourages people to be the best they can be, holds himself back emotionally, and on a bad day definitely stubborn. Sorry Ethan, as a fellow Greener I apologise that we’re classed as plodding on a bad day!

Luther:

Cool Blue - and not just ‘cause this guys cool as f*ck. He always strikes me as data-driven, he’s precise and meticulous, he’s curious and insightful. He can definitely be suspicious when he’s caught off guard (hey Will) and can pull back to keep people at arm’s length.

Benji:

Sunshine Yellow - I mean, he’s a freaking sunbeam! I did struggle with Benji, ‘cause I think he fits Blue and Green as well, so maybe he has a few over the line BUT he’s sociable, he’s creative, imaginative and very enthusiastic. He can also get frazzled, get a little carried away and, well, the babbling.

Ilsa:

Fiery Red - so their slogan is "be bright, be brief, be gone", which I feel like might be Ilsa's mantra in life. But anyway, she's strong-willed, very determined, she's got the potential to be a good leader, but at times her patience for others seems limited. She likes to be in control of situations and there's a definite competitiveness to her.

Will:

Cool Blue: sorry, he's my darling atm so I couldn't not include him. Here we've got a guy who's very precise, who loves structure and order, who likes to play things by the book. He can seem cold, aloof and wants reasons for why they're doing what they're doing.

Just now realising that Charlie's biggest character strength and fatal flaw is that she was never human.

She may have seen the 'true extent of evil' in Hell and at the same time never fully understood it.

She mourns for the pain she has never suffered herself.

She doesn't really, fully grasp the real impact of the sinners' actions on others because she didn't actually know their lives. She doesn't truly know what warrants casting someone into Hell, the same way the angels don't truly know what it takes for someone to enter Heaven. If that episode of her writing Angel Dust and Sir Pentious' script is anything to go by, she relies on superficial ideas and imagings of what she thinks happened to people - mostly those that serve her need to see people in a certain light.

She's so powerful, quite knowledgeable in her own right and yet also stunted - because of her sheltered upbringing, because of her position, because of her worldview.

I would be interested if the show were to explore this flaw or if someone were to call her out on it. Adam and Lute came close enough, but they were painted out to be more comically "heartless". I suppose the closest we got is her reconciliation with Vaggie after the secret, and her realising how it feels to be "wronged" but still choosing to forgive and understand. The others have tried touching on it, but Charlie hasn't exactly changed as a result.
