Jude is known to be very efficient and a strict boss, and Ellis gives me workaholic vibes. So they're made for each other. I go with the workaholic thing because on his route when he got jealous because Kate left with Jude and Roger, all he did was work his ass off.
Those two are dynamic together! Istg I love their relationship.
Ellis is an extremely hard worker, he always goes above and beyond. That’s why he’s so attracted to Kate’s work ethic. About that part in his route, I think he was also working so hard because he was trying to distract himself from his desires of wanting to be with Kate. I love an industrious man!
I would just like to say, I’m not usually pulled in by ff with an oc but yours looked really well planned and thought out (and I love troian lol) so I read Insatiable and the prologue for Indomitable and holy shit they are AMAZING!!! HONESTLY!!! This is my new favourite fanfic and I love you for making it THANK YOU!! Can’t wait to read more!!!
Aaaahh !!! This is honestly the greatest message to wake up to, thank you for sending it and for reading my fic - especially if it’s not the type that you usually read. I am just at a loss for words tbh and just ridiculously happy. Thank you again, I hope you enjoy the rest of Indomitable when it’s posted!
Wowza! So close to 2,000! I never thought the blog would grow this big, and certainly not this fast. Since I missed the 1,000 followers milestone, I was thinking of doing something special to commemorate the occasion! ... but I have no idea what. Would this be something you'd be interested in? I could do a Q&A, a face reveal, or something else if you're not particularly interested in me myself, lol.
I saw someone post saying that to understand Ellis you had to do mental gymnastics, and it's true, I don't understand him either. I know his altruism isn't real, but he's also not as selfish as he says he is. He didn't want to explore or do the same things as his brother, but he still always followed him. He was already doing that thing of putting the interests of others first, even before his curse manifested itself. Likewise, he has good social intelligence, but he can go against the social order for just one person. You are the only one I know who has read his route, so you did manage to decipher his true personality? 🤔
Hi Anon!
As much as I adore Ellis, I’m no expert, but I feel like on the whole, all of the guys are multi-layered characters. So to be fair, I don’t think their main stories allow us to unpack their entire personality. But that’s why we have post-route events.
In a nutshell, I feel like Ellis is supposed to be a conundrum. That’s part of his twisted personality. It’s not supposed to make sense. I don’t work for Cybird, but that’s how I feel his character is to be read. For example, I think he’s in a constant battle with so many different desires such as…..
Below for spoilers:
Wanting to live a long, happy life with his loved ones, but having to struggle with the desire to kill them when they’re the happiest. He doesn’t want it to end, but he’s still compelled to ask if you’re happy, if so, how happy? He’s sometimes relieved when they’re not so happy they can die, but can also feel like he needs to do all he can to make you happy.
And while it’s true that he did put others ahead of himself even prior to his curse manifesting, he did still have selfish desires. He just didn’t act on them, until that day. Which Ellis himself doesn’t even remember 100%. To clarify, I don’t mean to say he didn’t love his brother. You could tell that Ellis really did love him.
That’s what I think anyway, sorry if it isn’t much help!
Since the ask itself included major route spoilers for Ellis, please see my response below the cut. There is a pic of the anon. Please do not read it if you do not wish to be spoiled about what could be considered a major plot point.
Yes, his father’s name is Matthew. There was no mention of the names of any other relatives - as far as I remember. I would’ve included them in my summary, unless I missed it while reading his route.
Hi there! I was wondering if you knew what Ellis meant by he doesn’t like photos (in his bond story) I’m pretty new to the game so I’m confused (*ρω-*)
Hi anon!
It’s been a while since I’ve read through his bond stories, so I don’t recall what he said about it exactly. But if you’re curious about his feeling on photographs, then definitely read his main story when you can.✨
I don't think Ellis is as tall as they say, there can't be a difference of only 5 centimeters between him and Jude. He looks much taller, even though he slouches. So I think he must be at least 1.86. P.S. How cute that the height difference in their respective seiyus is the other way around, and I love the chemistry between them.
I’m a visual person, so I had to do a chart. It’s not extremely noticeable, but I feel like I can def tell the height difference between them. Jude does say that Ellis is still growing, and Victor prides himself like the proud mama he is he that Ellis is almost as tall as he is. So maybe he’ll get to 186 one day!
Yeah! Their seiyuus are absolutely adorable and have a very dynamic chemistry. There wasn’t a moment that I wasn’t laughing at them on stage together.
