O'Brien?

Heat O’Brien!

He reflects my preference in characters so much that, uhh, I dunno, I don’t know how to feel about it. Why must you do this to me, Tadashi?

Thanks for the ask! | [source]

Akira/Past!Flynn, sleeping in the same bed together for the first time?

(Im using @yarrayora's name for past!Flynn, which is Mamoru. This is obviously by its nature FILLED TO THE BRIM with headcanons. Also as usual im sending 3 sentences prompts to die and im just doing a whole drabble.)

--------

Akira knew that Mamoru lived in an empty apartment, but actually seeing it was something else. This was the reason, he realized, that whenever they were together off-duty, they always went to Akira's place. Featureless walls with only a few scant pieces of small artwork up, no pictures or anything, very few personal effects. It was the home of someone who rarely got to keep a home, someone who didn't know how to settle down and truly live in a place.

Even though he was an adult now, his past as an orphan was very clear.

There were some simple furnishings, what was necessary for a kitchenette, a small desk with a straightbacked chair, a bookshelf with mostly either old schoolbooks or nonfiction content books, a wooden wardrobe with a small mirror and hairbrush resting on top, a simple, but decently sized, bed. This could be anyone's room, and it made him saddened that this was how Mamoru lived, even now.

Akira's place was different, more lively. He lived close to his family so there were often visitors, and he at least owned a television and a couch, had boardgames in the closet, and so on. His decorations weren't too elaborate, he did live mostly for his work, but there were some movie posters and photos of family and friends. But nothing of the sort was in this barren space. It was clean though, immaculately so, everything prim and proper, and it was clear that Mamoru settled so easily into military life. Even the sheets were tucked into hospital corners.

Akira was fairly certain that he was the first person other than Mamoru or his landlord to ever be welcomed inside.

Mamoru was a few steps ahead of him, smiling but tired, they had just finished a long mission, been away for a few days. They had showered and changed on-base, but Mamoru lived a little closer to it, so he had offered to invite Akira to his for once. It was late now, the starry night sky visible through the blinds of the small window across the room. They both were ready to just collapse.

"You can take the bed," Mamoru was saying softly, "I have a futon in the closet that I'll get out."

When they were at Akira's, one of them usually took the couch. They were dating, but it felt like a barrier they shouldn't cross, not yet, but maybe it was time for that to change. "I'm not making you sleep on your own floor," Akira said as he shook his head.

"Well, I'm not letting you sleep on my floor," Mamoru replied, and he looked confused. Akira didn't usually make a fuss about that--and with how careful they had been in developing their relationship, Akira wagered that Mamoru hadn't even considered what he was about to suggest.

"Your bed is big enough," he said simply, a small smile starting to tug at the edges of his lips.

Mamoru's eyes went wide, but Akira could see nervous excitement glittering in them, "Oh. Are you--are you sure?"

"I wouldn't suggest it if I wasn't. Is that alright with you?"

"Yes!" Mamoru was practically bouncing on his toes, all evidence of his exhaustion suddenly vanishing as if they weren't both bone-tired.

They chatted a little as they got ready to sleep, Akira throwing his backpack in the corner. Mamoru seemed a bit nervous though, and Akira understood--he knew he had in general more relationship experience than him, and even though all he intended was sleep, he knew that Mamoru sometimes got a little nervous, especially when he was doing something new. New like sharing a bed with the person you loved.

Akira layed down first, settling himself in on the side closer to the wall, and he pulled the sheets back, "You coming?"

Mamoru nodded, approaching and joining him, a little tense, his face reddening as he shifted uncomfortably. He was on his back, and Akira had moved to lay on his side, looking at Mamoru. He always liked seeing him with his hair down, and even with sleepiness tugging at his brain, he kept himself awake just so he could look at him. "It's alright for you to look at me," Akira said softly.

Mamoru still hestiated a moment before turning his head and meeting his gaze. He looked shy, "I...don't want to be too...clingy."

"You can be," Akira smiled, "I don't mind. I'm the one in your bed, Mamoru."

Mamoru turned to lay on his side as well, facing him, "I'm...going to hold you, then."

He was emboldened now though, his usual confidence returning as he embraced Akira, pushing himself closer, and Akira quickly returned the favor, although it was a little awkward to figure out where to put his limbs when Mamoru dragged him to his chest. It was nice though, warm, and Akira's breathing started to deepen.

"Can I hold you while you sleep?" Mamoru whispered into his hair.

"Sure, just make sure you sleep too."

"Mmn," Mamoru hummed, his hands moving to soothingly stroke Akira's back, lulling him to sleep.

☕️ ATLUS?

Hoo boy...

To be clear, I’m not a fan of any corporation on principle and ATLUS is no exception. I enjoy a large number of their products, but my affection is directed solely at those responsible for the elements of those products I enjoy, not the company as a whole.

With that said, I can’t really say I hate ATLUS either simply because as a corporation they will do what all corporations do: maximize profit. Even though that profit maximization has recently appeared to involve a lessening of resources directed towards what I would prefer, I can’t really expect anything else of the company by virtue of its nature.

In terms of said company’s employees, however, I’d say it’s very much a mixed bag. There are individuals who I believe are highly talented and whose work I greatly enjoy, but I will be the first to point out how many of said individuals have significant flaws in their creative abilities.

Altogether, the extent of my interest towards ATLUS as a company is just an interest in their products, and if they cease producing products I enjoy then there’s not much else to do but advocate for a return to form and move on until they do.

can I ask digital devil saga?

Yoouuuuu most certainly can.

the first character i ever fell in love with: Heat.

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: Probably also Heat? I still like him! Just not as much as I did, it’s not his fault though.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: Eh, none.

my ultimate favorite character™: These days, Gale or Roland it’s pretty equal.

prettiest character: Jenna. *_*

my most hated character: Bat. God just, fuck off.

my OTP: Gale (either one) and Jenna.

my NOTP: I know it’s sorta established by canon but Serph/Sera as a romance rather than them binding into a single androgynous demi-god, meh. Boring.

favorite scene: Gale poking Lupa with his toe pointy. That core strength.

saddest death: All of them? All of them. Heat’s death after Vritra is especially sad though. Especially if, like me, I like Roland more, you know, so he doesn’t come back.

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: I mean Sheffield is detestable but in a fun way.

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Jenna...

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Argilla. Give her a break.

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: Neh. None really.

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Gale and Cielo actually. It IS pretty charming.

my favorite prehistoric animal is therizinosaurus, which probably looked something like this:

it’s been that way since my childhood, when i happened to read about it in this novelty book on dinosaurs that i owned. for some reason, the book depicted it as featherless and with zebra stripes, but of course, this is a novelty book for kids we’re talking about, so it probably tossed paleontological accuracy to the wayside in favor of eye candy.

deinocheirus comes as a close second favorite:

nothing to really comment on here except that i feel that deinocheirus is the totally superior yet severely underrated counterpart to deinonychus.

however... my favorite prehistoric period was certainly the silurian, which preceded the age of dinosaurs by a couple hundred million years.

looking at this speculative reconstruction of the silurian period instills me with a feeling of deep-seated dread that i can only really associate with being left at an old folks home in the middle of nowhere kansas with nothing but my humanity and my copy of pokemon soul silver on nintendo dsi xl. i just know what’d be like to be there... the air is humid, heavy with a stench with no name that chills you to the bone. there’s not a single human nor human facility in sight. the weeds are overgrown and the silence is deafening, broken only by the cacophonous cry of trilobites, legions of them pouring out from the lakes and the seas, who ask you questions you’ve already answered more times than you can count on your hands and try to teach you bible verses but they all sound the same

also this picture was purportedly taken in lousiana however many years ago but i feel like it captures that timeless silurian dread, yannow?

QDS: ‪📌, 🏳‍🌈 (excluding trans Shin), 💎?

📌 how did you find your hyperfixation?

Okay, so: In early April 2017, I was beginning to delve into DDS after recently having decided to check out Megaten. And whenever I pick up a new series, I have a habit of sifting through its TV Tropes page - I find that the information is displayed in a way very palatable to me personally, so it works great when I need to reinforce my knowledge or what have you. That’s how I learned about the novel adaptation. DDS piqued my interest from the start and I find books heavily preferable to games, so I ordered it and finished the first book before I started playing the games for myself. (Then I dove into QDS2 on the day of its English release, and started reading QDS3 a couple weeks after from a torrent I found before I got physical copies of all the releases.)

🏳‍🌈 do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you?

The only LGBT hcs i have besides that and details that are actually canon (Angel is NB/agender, Shin is bi, Serph is very heavily implied to be transmasc, Serph/Heat is a thing, Jinagilla got acknowledged by Godai in the Extra Files) would be that Kaz is bi... Also, trans Kei, but I feel like that falls under the umbrella with trans Shin. Roland said trans rights. For other headcanons, I relate to Gale quite a bit as a neurodivergent person, so there’s that. And, Cielo isn’t white like the cover illustrations suggest, cowards.

💎 are there any fun facts or trivia that you would like to share?

I started reading QDS on April 15th 2017 and finished the final volume on April 21st, 2018.

The screencap of this is unfortunately long lost but Yuu Godai liked one of my tweets once, on my (15th) birthday no less.

QDS1 took me a week to read, QDS2 less than a day, QDS3 went on and off for 5 months (but about a month and a half in reality), QDS4 took me a month, and QDS5 took a week.

QDS3 took so long to read due to the insane technical jargon, me translating TC22 in between, and the fact that I took a few detours to read media cited in the text (The Crystal World, Lunacy).

At this point in my life and for the last 3 years, Shin Minase has been my single favorite character ever, no question.

QDS >>> DDS imo, also my biggest hyperfixation/special interest by a landslide.

Rather have an anime made for Nocturne or Strange Journey?

Hmmm, that’s honestly really tough. Strange Journey would probably fit the format of an anime much better given the wider range of characters and how easily it would be to organize episodes and seasons based on the different dungeons in the game, but honestly I think I would enjoy a Nocturne adaptation more just because I think it would make for a less cookie-cutter anime format, assuming it could be done just as well as the former.
