replied to your photo “I love her and do I see a potential ship here ;)”

Honestly everyone int he fandom started shipping them bc of how they are both the sweetest people ever (and like how Marie blushed when Miranda bit him in the zombie arc, or how he was shown taking her up his shoulders once) - and then the Guidebook arrived telling us Marie plays music to Miranda to calm her panic attacks or stop Lavi and Allen from messing around Miranda when it panics her, and that they love each other compagny and i'm crying

:O I literally forgot all about that part!! I am definitely due a reread as it’s been forever and gijtgihjtfi THAT IS TOO ADORABLE AND PURE AND OMG DEFINITELY A SHIP HAS BEEN FORMED ❤ thanks so much for that info :D

dgm really is so good with character writing because its like... really realistic imo? its been barely over a year in universe and the subtle way characters develop fits very way considering the circumstances. ive seen someone complain that theres no character development but it is there but it leans towards the subtle side because of how little time its actually been in universe and how all characters have been used to the horrible world theyre in. the ones whose character change the most are the ones whose world has changed the most since the beginning and i like that. i like the realism of "if not much changes theres little space to develop" while also changing every slowly and subtly its incredible. u dont get spoonfed anything to do with the story unless its absolutely necessary (aka from the backstories) and assumes that the reader is smart enough to at least understand and try to connect bits and pieces to each other and understand what is happening even if not fully. as much as i joke about not knowing whats going on u actually do have a clear idea little by little of what is happening and how it all connects even if u dont know the exact outcome or what exactly happened. it starts slowly a very monster of the week thing until u start to get to know the Noah and the Order and understand that theres more to it than bad guys and good guys or monsters and heroes. each of the main characters, even the ones that tend to get on everyone's nerves at first, become more interesting and get more depth even characters that we know little about in general are very lovable and u know when Hoshino wants u to dislike a character or dislike but still sympathize. its a good, if at times, complicated, story that shines even more due to its characters. the light novels are also very good even if sometimes the humor doesnt land or u get kinda lost reading the light novel about Allie's backstory if u arent that far ahead in the story which ive seen happen.

but what i like the most about it is how it was described by Hoshino herself as both a story about tragedy and a story about love. but romantic love barely plays a huge part, platonic love does play a big part but the kind of love thats the most important to Allie (our main character) is famillial. and not even blood family but adoptive family. Allie's biggest influences in the world are her parental figures and what happens to them is a huge driving force in her development for better or worse. and its poignant and heartbreaking but also soft and beautiful in its tragedy and sadness. being given love but deprived of genuine love and having true love being withheld from her not through malice but by fear and doubt. it really shows how sometimes ur parents might love u but it still hurts. the exploration of familial love and how the personal problems a parent has can so deeply affect a young child is heartbreaking but those small moments when theres a breakthrough and u can see that genuine parental affection even if its given awkwardly and unsure of how to do it right is beautiful.

dgm is very low fantasy and very high supernatural but high fantasy dgm would be so fun.

[blastthatsadfm]

do all of them. ok just kidding just from A to K but make it dgm.

You read my mind, Júlio.A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)I am very, very simple when it comes to DGM, I am non binary person of very simple tastes. I like LaviYu and AllenLena (The last one in purely romantic and non sexual way). I can dig YuLena, and I dont dig but can somehow see LaviAllen. I do not like yull/en or lavilen.a . Those are bad, theyre bad, trust me.B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mindI think I saw a ficlet of YuLena that was somewhat silly and fluffy of them growing up together and I was like “… cool.”Cross/Froi, because of you, good ship. But I could see something charming on Froi/Klaud, before.C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)Lavi with either Al/len and Lena, bad. hmm… Allen/Roa.d, also bad. I’m very against shipping Road with anyone or anything. 

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice)I have shipped LaviYu for TOO LONG, to just like YuAlma, sorry. I think, for years before Alma’s chapters started to be released. I remember thinking that their friendship was cute while I was reading the chapters month by month. But I really do think Hoshino went that way for a lot of reasons I dont like, and didnt really liked when I sensed them, as she relased the chapters (painfully slow). E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, whatI could make up a billion modern AU’s for the main four. Not gonna lie. I think just… TykiLulubell. Good ship. Why isnt anyone with me on this?F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in the fandomI started reading the manga/watching the anime when I was around … 12/13. I had re watched and reread it by the point I was 14/15 and reading fics on the fandom. I stopped being on it entirely around the end of Alma’s arc, when I (think?) was around 16. And KHR got my interest and after that, DRRR!!.I grew up with this series, man. IT H U R T S.

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in itIf still on DGM, then it was LaviYu, the Originals.If not on DGM, it was mattsora on digimon adventure when I was 5.H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., tv shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)I do love the anime, I’m not 100% on board with everything, but I really loved it.I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and whyI dont interact with the dgm fandom on here. Or anywhere thats not PIXIV/AO3, really. Nothing personal. K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandomsYou’re pretty good, Júlio.

@cross-tiedoll , I`m not caught up on the manga, but I remember how charming Mana managed (”mana managed”) to be, when the entire mystery started to be unraveled. I dont really understand the depth of your feelings for it, but I’m glad Hoshino still got it on her to make the readers care, especially when it comes to the Earl.

- Marie-fan rights, you are so valid! Marie is the only one who has rights on that manga. He’s such a good, heroic soul and I love him a lot for it and for his interactions with Yu. When he cuts his fingers without hesitation?? Nobody has more balls than that, on that entire manga.

-  Kanda? Sure do love my boy

- You’re really in love with Froi, lmao. Nice, old grandpa. Yeah, he’s gentle and such an idiot. So many kind characters on DGM, when I think about it. It really is an empathetic story 

- lmao, you go loving allen. I sure do hope they gonna be ok, cuz otherwise whats the point of a gentle character on a cruel story? I do expect sacrifices, but I also expect their love to be given back to them.

Froi headcanons Ive always had since I was 13 but that @crosstiedoll is making me remember with their constant presence in my dash, dragging me back to dgm:

- He’s the kind of old man who cries listening to music. - Classic music, you ask?? No,  70-80′s pop song ballads. - Stuff like this is what makes Froi cry. - His glasses are N E V E R C lean. - He attempts to teach Yu how to draw and paint so Yu can have a productive outlet for his anger. - It Almost works. - At least now, Yu knows how to draw. - He declares he cares about his sons all equally. Its almost true. - His favorite is Marie, lets’ be real. - IF you HAD A SON LIKE MARIE (And another one like Yu), Marie would also be your favorite. - He more than once remarks on how much he would rather for his interactions with Cross to be Alcohol-free. - He’s the only person to which Cross finally puts his bottle aside. - My background story for him was that he used to be married and lost his wife very soon to the akumas. - He copes on productive ways, which are painting, destroying akumas and Adopting Every Stray Kid thats on his way. - More than once people told him he shouldnt get so attached to the exorcists around him. - He pretends he agrees, but he ignores them completely. - He loves sunflowers.

On a modern AU:  - He would be fascinated with Photography, besides Art, and would take a huge number of pictures of his family and of landscapes.
