ISAAK ANSWERS

[isaak's info post] [ask game / questions link]

questions & answers about habits :)

only post timeskip Isaak answers once again. this is when he’s already in Marley and in his Stefan persona, after the whole betrayal.

notes: this was a really fun batch of questions to answer !! ^^

🗣️ Voice

1. Are they talkative? post ts ; Used to be when he was still in training, but being in Marley has completely shut him down, it’s safer for him to not talk all too much here. Less chances for someone to have a problem with him then.

2. Is their voice quiet or loud? post ts ; Used to be loud! But as said previously, that got beat down, he’s way more soft-spoken but still loud enough so that no one gives him shit for not talking loud enough. But if needed, he can bring back his very loud speech from back in training.

3. Do they have unusual speech patterns? post ts ; I do not believe he does.

4. Do they have an accent or dialect? post ts ; See now this is not canon to the show but in FOAS I have it so that people from Paradis have a lightly different accent than people from Liberio. And because of that Zeke decided to give Isaak the birthplace of Odiha, cause I had decided that I will just pretend people from Odiha have a lightly similar accent to people from Paradis. Now this makes me rethink shit, wouldn’t the warriors get some type of accent from being in Paradis, or maybe they kept their Liberio accents in Paradis cause Paradis just doesn’t think about accents all too much…? They recognize it though cause Sasha. New thing to think about. Simply said: Isaak is acknowledged to have a lightly different accent than the rest from Liberio.

5. Do they like to sing? Are they good at it? post ts ; No.

🖐️ Hands

6. Left handed, right handed, ambidextrous? post ts ; Left-handed! With two missing fingers on that hand!

7. Neat or messy hand writing? post ts ; Before losing his pinkie and ring finger his hand writing used to just be average, it’s readable, more on the messier side possibly. After losing those two fingers, his hand writing got quite a bit messier, and also considering the writing system should be different in Marley, that would most likely mean that his hand writing might be even messier because he’s learning a new writing system too.

8. Do they draw/paint a lot? post ts ; Nope. Never had an interest.

9. Are they good or bad at making handicrafts? post ts ; I would say he’s good. I’m still unsure on if he, I can stop being unsure I can literally just reread shit. It was not canon before, I say it is now. Isaak enjoys wood carving. It’s a good thing for him to mess around after the loss of the two fingers. And taking into consideration that he is missing two fingers and can still carve out something recognizable, then I would say that he is decently good at that stuff.

10. Do they need their hands occupied a lot? If so, what do they do? post ts ; He’s always been fine with not having his hands occupied, and he’s even more so fine with not having them occupied right now. In Marley especially he recognizes that it would be better for him if he didn’t look jittery. What he does enjoy doing with his hands though is having something to grip with it, and his sides aren’t as useful for that for him. Usually he tends to hold onto the strap of his rifle bag, or if in the trenches with the rifle out, the rifle itself. At home if he’s being supervised by any of the Warriors, he would be holding onto the knife that he uses for carving, and if supervised by someone who he doesn’t trust as much, then absolutely no knife and instead just the corner of the table, the backrest of a chair, anything really.

🍛 Food

11. What's their favorite food/least favorite food? post ts ; I feel horrible always skipping this type of question, but I genuinely need to think so much about this because I personally am a very picky eater and I would have to truly just research a lot of different type of foods he could possibly have just so I could pick something out for him LMAO. So no answer for this.

12. Are they a picky eater? post ts ; Not at all! He tends to eat whatever he’s offered really.

13. Any food they avoid for reasons other than taste? post ts ; Nah, he has no problems with food smells or textures.

14. How are their table manners? post ts ; He’s got good manners! His father taught him to show proper table manners and he kept it up both in training and while in Marley, one more thing he doesn’t want to do randomly so that no one can get a chance to have a problem with it.

15. Do they rather eat too much or too little? post ts ; He eats a bit more than average, for one he is a big guy, 6’4” and what, 240 lbs? He needs proper meals. But also he just eats more purely because he is offered more, they have more food in Marley than in Paradis I imagine, that whole thing isn’t as scarce as back home. So if he is offered more than average, he will eat more than average.

16. Do they prefer to eat alone or with company? post ts ; He likes being able to eat alone but that’s extremely rare because you know, he’s a “threat” and they have to always keep an eye on him. But most of the need to eat alone for him comes after he gets shot in his cheek because he just hates people seeing the cheek scar.

17. Are they good at cooking? post ts ; He’s decent! Not anything exceptional but he knows how to cook because his father didn’t allow him to just always be fed and did indeed teach him how to properly cook something for himself that isn’t horrible to eat.

🛏️Sleep

18. Morning person or night owl? post ts ; Morning person

19. Easy to fall asleep or insomniac? post ts ; Absolutely an insomniac, sleep comes very hard to him.

20. Light or heavy sleeper? post ts ; Heavier sleeper when he’s going to sleep after drinking or just way more stressed, but otherwise a light sleeper.

21. Do they move around a lot while sleeping? post ts ; Nope.

22. Are they used to sleeping around others or alone? post ts ; During training he got used to sleeping around others in the bunk bed type of way. Currently, prefers sleeping alone.

23. Do they snore? post ts ; Nope.

24. Other sleeping habits? post ts ; Most often runs on 4 hours of sleep. And also tends to subconsciously wake up at the same time as Reiner.

ISAAK ANSWERS

[isaak's info post] [ask game / questions link]

angsty relationship questions & answers :)

only post timeskip Isaak answers this time. this is when he's already in Marley and in his Stefan persona, after the whole betrayal.

while this is for relationships, i will be mostly focused on just Isaak's answers, especially when considering that the betrayal specifically negatively affected Isaak.

notes: not every question will have an answer, i don't want to force myself to make up answers just to have answers. will most likely come back to them later

do they have a lot of arguments? if so, over what? post ts ; Surprisingly not. Isaak loves throwing little digs at Reiner over the betrayal but they don’t actually argue.

who apologizes first? in what way? is it hard for either of them to apologize? post ts ; Not Isaak that’s for sure.

which one has more insecurities? over what? post ts ; Maaaan, that’s one thing that Isaak does not have Reiner beat over. Reiner’s got his own crazy problems that Isaak can’t ever top. Reiner’s the one insecure over his worth and struggling with his identity. Isaak shockingly knows his worth well enough.

who gets more riled up? do they show their anger?  post ts ; Isaak gets more riled up, yeah. And he does show his anger, that’s really the one big emotion that he mostly freely shows to Reiner.

how do they hide their pain when they’re upset? do they try to hide their pain? post ts ; I feel like a broken record by this point but it’s just how it is, Isaak obviously hides any pain or upset he’s feeling and he does that by just plainly bottling it up. It slips out at times in anger towards Reiner but mostly it’s bottled up and hidden away cause he’s not wanting to deal with showing that type of vulnerability.

who tries to make up first? does it work? post ts ; Reiner tries to make up first because he’s the one that created the problem. And of course it doesn’t work.

would they hate-fuck if they were mad at one another? if they had a falling out? post ts ; Absolutely not, Isaak wouldn’t want Reiner touching him that way.

do they hold grudges? is it hard for them to let go/forgive each other? post ts ; Isaak, yes. Holds a grudge, and to be fair grudge sounds like too small of a word for the situation. And it is extremely hard for Isaak to let go or forgive because at the end of the day, the thing he holds a “grudge” against completely uprooted his life. He has to be angry at something, he has to hold onto the anger/pain.

is there something big that could potentially tear them apart if it was revealed?  post ts ; If it was revealed? If it’s in the way of if something hidden In canon was revealed, then no. The big thing that should’ve fully teared them apart already happened, and they still stuck together (even if it wasn’t exactly by choice.) But if answering just if there is something big that could tear them apart, then the only thing that could do that is if Isaak’s father got killed and it turned out to be Reiner’s fault. That’s the only thing that could tear them fully apart in canon, everything else with forced proximity they got over.

if something already happened to tear them apart, what would make them come back together? is it even possible? post ts ; What would make them continue being around each other already got answered, it’s forced proximity. If there wasn’t forced proximity they wouldn’t have stuck around each other, the circumstances of everything made them stick around each other, obviously. But for them to actually Get Back Together, Isaak would need healing time. That’s the main reason why even after 4 years of being around each other they haven’t gotten really any closer romantically. Because Isaak’s not getting his time to heal from the bullshit he went through regarding Reiner and being thrown out.

what’s their favorite pass time when they’re upset? post ts ; I don’t have a clue. Though I think I can make up an answer without forcing it. Mmm… To be honest they don’t really have down time all that much once they join into the war fully, and so most of the time if theres some type of upset there, they don’t have anything to do other than just push it off and away. But if there’s down time, I can imagine Isaak enjoying going at it with his rifle, some practice. Maybe also a bit of wood carving, did I make that canon or did I just make it up in my head,,,?

who do they confide in when shit hits the fan (besides each other)? post ts ; No one.

is it hard for them to talk about their feelings openly with each other? if so, is there any way that can be resolved, even in the slightest? post ts ; Oh it’s borderline impossible for Isaak to talk about any feelings he’s feeling with Reiner, openly, truthfully and without anger coming through. At the current stage, there isn’t anything that can be done to fix that I don’t think.

who grieves more when the other is away? post ts ; Reiner.

who misses the other more, or really thinks about them more? post ts ; Reiner again. He’s way too worried about Isaak when he’s away from him.

do either of them have a special item (an article of clothing, a necklace, a book) that they use when they miss the other? if so, what is it? what do they do with it (read, wear, look at, smell)? post ts ; Currently, neither of them do, but now that I saw the question, I could probably make something small up for them.

who cries more? who gets more emotional in general? post ts ; I don’t have any of them cry but I would say… Reiner is the more emotional one between them.

do either of them have the other’s stuff lying around their house? post ts ; Mmm, no I don’t think so.

how about teasing? do they tease each other while in a fight (whether it be with themselves or just general teasing)? post ts ; Absolutely not, they aren’t at the stage where they would even really tease each other outside of a fight, so no way do they do that in a fight.

what’s the thing they miss most about each other? post ts ; Reiner misses Isaak’s laugh. Isaak misses the Reiner he had before everything went to shit, he misses the trust he held for him romantically.

who’s more jealous? post ts ; Used to be Isaak, in the way that Reiner would get to know about the jealousy. But by now, I think they are both quite equally jealous, I see Reiner as probably showing it a bit more easily than Isaak though.

who is the first to forgive? post ts ; I know it ain’t Isaak. If there was something

what’s the one deal breaker for either of them (lack of communication, fear of commitment, etc)? post ts ; For Reiner, this shall get thought about… For Isaak, maaaan. Is the answer ‘killing my father.’ Available?

who would take longer to let go? do they ever really “let go”? post ts ; Reiner would take longer to ‘let go’, and he wouldn’t truly ever let go.

which is more afraid of confrontation? post ts ; They aren’t really afraid of confrontation but Reiner is more likely to fear it.

who’s the first to distance themselves (if either)? post ts ; Isaak

who’s more patient? is it hard to break that patience? post ts ; Probably Reiner. Like in general it could be Isaak but in their relationship, Reiner.

who’s the first to blame themselves?  post ts ; Reiner.

who’s more likely to do something out of spite? post ts ; Lol, Isaak. I could see him literally going in the line of fire just to spite Reiner.

who would be the first to say they hate the other? would they mean it? post ts ; Reiner could never. Which means Isaak would be the first to say it, and he would really mean that.

who worries more? post ts ; Reiner.

what scent reminds them of the other? post ts ; For Reiner it’s citrusy scents that remind him of Isaak. For Isaak it’s…. No clue currently, this shall get thought about.

do they have any regrets (regarding the other, or just in general)? post ts ; Isaak: Falling for Reiner. Reiner: Falling for Isaak. That’s the short version. But Isaak yeah in a way regrets falling for Reiner because as said hundreds of times before, that flipped his whole life upside down in the most negative way possible and he really wishes that could have never happened. Reiner in his own way regrets falling for Isaak because of what his falling for him put Isaak through.

who’s quicker to walk away if a situation gets heated? post ts ; Neither. Isaak at this point is just not the type to walk away and Reiner thinks that he’s not really allowed to and he just has to take whatever Isaak dishes out.

who is more prone to anger? post ts ; Isaak.

who cries more in an argument? do either of them cry? post ts ; Neither one.

does it take a lot for it to get to the point of yelling? post ts ; For Isaak not really, for Reiner it would take a bit more of specific stuff (like Isaak risking his life in some way.)

who sleeps on the couch? can either of them sleep without the other? post ts ; Isaak sleeps on the couch. And yeah they can sleep without the other one and they’ve done so for the last 4 years.

who’s more likely to protect the other? post ts ; Just protect? Reiner is more likely to protect Isaak. To Isaak, Reiner is capable of protecting himself. To Reiner, he knows Isaak could protect himself but he just wants to protect Isaak for one, and for two he sees Isaak as like… the more vulnerable one? Not physically, god no. But just considering he’s seen as this threatening to-be-guarded-at-all-times thing, and Reiner’s seen as a true warrior who has a titan in his control, he think it’s safer for him to protect Isaak than for Isaak to protect himself.

if one of them gets injured, who worries more? post ts ; Reiner. Isaak doesn’t worry all too much about injuries cause you know, the whole thing of Reiner being a titan and regenerating from any damn wound. And Isaak isn’t like that, he can get hurt, and that hurt will stay there, it can make Isaak incapacitated, it can have permanent effects on him. And that’s not good when they both know that if Isaak isn’t capable of performing his duties on the field with his rifle, then what good is he.

who would be more afraid of the other’s death/harm? post ts ; I feel horrible constantly answering questions with “both” or “neither” but bro that’s just how it is. They both have their own reasons for why they are so extremely terrified of the other one’s death. For Reiner it’s just the fear of losing Isaak without anything else attached to it, he loves him, he doesn’t want to lose him. So his reason is more simple. For Isaak it’s a bit different because for him if Reiner died, that would mean Isaak’s 1. Completely alone. He would have nothing left anymore from Paradis. And 2. That ‘alone’ wouldn’t matter all too much when they could just kill him more freely. He’s scared to die. If Reiner dies, it’s very likely Isaak would be gone too.

who ends up yelling first? are they always yelling when arguing, or do neither of them yell at all? post ts ; Isaak is the more likely culprit to yell. And since they already don’t argue much, there’s not many moments for Isaak to yell, but he has done it a bit.

who would be more likely to save who?  post ts ; Both are very likely to save each other, I really can’t pick which one be the one more likely cause they really both try their hardest to keep each other safe on the field

who stays up at night brooding? post ts ; Both, but more often Isaak.

who has more dreams/nightmares about the other? post ts ; Reiner has more nightmares about Isaak. Actually got a whole scene where Reiner has a nightmare, that he’s had dozens of times before already, where Isaak dies right in front of him. The nightmares get worse after any bigger injury on the field. But also Isaak too has nightmares about Reiner from time to time, for him though it’s just the repeat of the betrayal. But there is also a scene where Isaak has a nightmare in which Reiner calls him a ‘blunder in his mission’ :)

who comforts who after a bad dream/event? post ts ; Neither of them comfort each other really. Reiner thought at one point tries to seek some type of comfort, reassurance about stuff that relate to the dream. But Isaak doesn’t give much of his comfort there.

do they think about each other a lot? does it affect their performance/schoolwork? post ts ; They think about each other all the time even on the battlefield, but they are both skilled enough to not let any of that thinking cloud their judgment on the field.

━━⊱ · MORE INFORMATION

Most Used Phrases / Words :: “What a fucking joke” & “Is that so?”

Speech Patterns :: After his GSW to the face, he speaks with a lisp.

Comfort Item :: His Carcano rifle. In Marley, after being left with nothing from his own home apart from the relationship with Reiner, his rifle becomes the one item that brings him comfort, because it’s the only thing that is meant to be truly his own.

Weapons :: His Carcano rifle. He has two of them, one being his spare.

Threat Level :: Due to his Eldian descent, he is seen as a threat, and for the people in Marley who do know that he is a Paradisian Eldian, that threat feels even more amplified. People also tend to consider him as a threat due to his size and looks. And on the battlefield by the enemies he is recognized as a threat due to his exceptional shooting skills, while not as big of a threat as any of the titans, still enough of a threat to be thought of as a problem. In reality, the only place he truly is a threat is just the battlefield, outside of there he just looks threatening.

Fears :: He’s scared that he will never see his father again or that if he ever comes back to Paradis, he will be dead.

Motivation :: What motivates Isaak is the fear of being left behind. Which in a way feels stupid because to Isaak, it feels as though his whole life has been lost just so he could be turned into the Marleyan government’s personal war tool, and yet somewhere deep down in him there’s that fear that he could get left behind, and they would just kill him. And death, even with all he’s lost where one would think it could be an escape, it frightens him. Especially if that death were to happen due to a higher ups decision, a death on the front-lines isn’t a worry for him, because in some fucked up way even after being betrayed the way he was by Reiner, he would be fine dying by Reiner’s side on the battlefield. But to be left behind and die on some orders pushed onto him? He hates that idea, and that pushes him to go forward, that pushes him to in some messed up way prove himself that he’s useful.

Self Perception :: While physically he perceives himself exactly as strong as he is, not overestimating his strength nor underestimating, he tends to find it hard to see himself as looking threatening. And he also slightly underestimates the skills that he’s been able to show off on the battlefield during the war.

━━⊱ · TRIVIA

; Lived not that far away from Jean but was never close with him during childhood ; Doesn't remember his mother due to her leaving when he was still a baby ; Had planned to join the MP's to ensure his father's safety, but after finishing training, experiencing the battle of Trost and further consideration he chose to join the Survey corps ; Got given the fake name of Stefan Kaas once he got to Marley ; In Marley, due to the fact that he is still an Eldian from Paradis, Isaak is always to be under supervision either by the other Warriors or by public security authorities ; After his gunshot wound to the face in year 853 in Marley, he was left to stay behind in Liberio to heal while the others went back to war and during that time he was given a private security guard who watched over him for two months ; Got the "Marleyan Hawk" nickname from the enemies because he constantly swooped in to help and save soldiers on his side with his sniping ; Even with missing fingers and a bolt action rifle with a custom scope as a makeshift sniper rifle, Isaak provides noticeable support to Marley's side in the war and noticeable bloodshed to the enemies

━━⊱ · creator's notes

; some things in Isaak's storyline don't make canonical sense or even logical/physical/realistic sense. some of them are just done like that by me because I was stuck and couldn't climb my way out of the problem I created, or because I just wanted to do it like that cause I thought it would be more fun for me. I truthfully just do not care about that stuff because I made Isaak as an OC for me to have fun with. So just ignore any stupid stuff you might see :)

ISAAK ANSWERS

[isaak's info post] [ask game / questions link]

random oc questions & answers :)

pre ts for pre-timeskip Isaak, Isaak before he is dragged away to Marley. Still while in training, so before he's betrayed by Reiner. post ts for post-timeskip Isaak, when he's already in Marley and in his Stefan persona. After the betrayal.

notes: didn't answer every single question cuz i didn't wanna force myself to get an answer just to have an answer, will probably come back to this later on and add the answers i skipped out on.

Who, if anybody, does your character talk to when they’re upset? pre ts ; Reiner! His first option is always Reiner! post ts ; Begrudgingly, if he’s really really desperate, yeah he goes to Reiner. But most often he doesn’t say anything to anyone. Bottles it all up. Going to Reiner is the absolute last choice he takes

Does your character have a type? pre ts ; Guys that are his size or bigger than him. Someone who could match up to him physically. post ts ; That did not change, his type is still guys that are his size or bigger than him. (which tbf, for a 6'4" 240lbs guy is a bit tricky)

How does your character cope with high levels of stress? pre ts ; Walking, talking, doing some light exercise. post ts ; Avoids dealing with it. Bottles it up. If ever possible, getting himself some alone time (which is rare.)

Somebody your character cares about is feeling down. How do they help them? pre ts ; Tries very hard to cheer them up however he can, tries distracting, that stuff is mostly verbal. And he always tries to do that, always. post ts ; Depends on the person really. He does still care a lot about Reiner, with him he stays out of it. So basically, does not help him. But also as he spent his time in Marley, he grew to care about Falco and Gabi, obviously, and with them he’s on the physical side of comfort, a side hug here, a shoulder squeeze there.

Is your character afraid of the dark? pre ts ; Nope. post ts ; Also nope.

Your character has been turned into a gummy candy. What flavor are they? pre ts ; Lemon flavour!! post ts ; Still lemon flavour, even after deep trauma that doesn't change.

Your character has been melted down and turned into a candle. What do they smell like? pre ts ; Would it be basic to say vanilla and something with zest…? (lemon. Still damn lemon.) post ts ; Something more woodsy now,  don’t forget the lemon zest. There’s gotta be lemon in all of it.

Is there anything your character specifically does not like to be called? (Nicknames, particular insults, etc) pre ts ; No I don't think so. He doesn't take insults to heart, and all nicknames he has, he's fine with everyone using them. post ts ; Kid. He doesn't like being called kid. With his size and his looks it doesn't happen as much in Marley but when it does happen it's a very calculated little nickname that is absolutely meant to demean him and he despises it.

Are your character’s belongings current/modern/up-to-date for their world, or are any of them notably outdated? pre ts ; God now this is bad cause I kinda was zoned out enough with aot that I don't know the proper answer to this. Will update this during the next rewatch… post ts ; Will update during the next rewatch. (but I do think at least his rifles are more so up-to-date per their standards. Considering he’s using government issued rifles, they would have to be up-to-date)

How does your character feel about showing vulnerability? pre ts ; Finds it easy show his vulnerability to others, his father taught him to allow himself to show that to others, to not just take all that’s thrown at him completely alone and that it isn’t a weakness. So he’s got no sour feelings regarding that. post ts ; Learned to mostly bottle it all up. Somewhat due to the need to be petty and take something away from Reiner. Cause not showing that vulnerability that he always used to show to not just Reiner but a lot of others too, that cuts Reiner quite a bit. And also just learned to bottle it up because he can’t let anyone else see him being vulnerable cause they will think he’s weak, and if he’s weak, who knows what they will want to do with him. But if the vulnerability does slip out, I wouldn’t say he thinks it makes him weak but he just dislikes being seen like that, in a way he’s left feeling out of control, considering the amount of effort he puts into keeping it bottled.

Your character is at a restaurant, and they decide to get dessert. What are they ordering? pre ts ; So get this… this is about to sound like a biiiig shock… Lemon pie. post ts ; Ice cream. Don’t matter what type, preferably lemon ice cream obviously, but just any ice cream really.

What’s a snack your character loved as a kid? pre ts ; Would it be really basic to say apples for now? Apples feel not really like a snack but also I would need to think a bit more of what exact snacks could be there during his childhood. But I know he likes apples, so apples it is for now. post ts ; Wouldn’t change, still the apples.

Does your character wear anything in their hair/on their head? If they don’t usually, what might they choose if the occasion called for it? pre ts ; Only thing he would have in his hair would be just a hair tie to tie his hair back into a ponytail. Other than that, doesn’t tend to cover his head up or put anything else up in his hair. post ts ; Nothing. He’s rocking a buzz cut now so there’s not really anywhere to put something.

Your character has to sign up for some kind of class. It can be anything at all. What are they going for? pre ts ; He probably goes for something that helps him prepare for any written type of tests during training. He believes he’s a bit lacking in that regard so just as a precaution. post ts ; Shooting training classes ? That a thing? Not because he thinks he’s bad at it but because he likes shooting, he wants to shoot me.

What position is your character most likely to be in on a couch? pre ts ; One that tries to take up less space, give him a seat in the corner, not the type to knee hug and not the type to manspread too hardcore. post ts ; Standing by it. (even if through pain.)

Compare your character to an animal in a positive way. pre ts ; If only you all knew how long I’ve been trying to think of an animal that I can give him positively before he goes to Marley, it’s been years, I’ve still not gotten one. Gonna add one when I get one. post ts ; Hunts prey like a hawk? Been dubbed the Marleyan Hawk by the enemies all because of how he swoops in with his rifle to shoot down enemies and save his comrades. That’s a positive comparison, right…?

Compare your character to an animal in a negative way. pre ts ; Same as before, will add a comparison when I get one, soz. post ts ; What if I said the same thing as above… Next time.

Describe your character from the point of view of somebody who doesn’t know them at all (maybe they’ve seen them around town or are observing them in public right now). pre ts ; Can seem a bit intimidating due to the size but not really a threat, seen as a warm person and more often than not, a safe person to approach in case of an emergency. post ts ; Intimidating, and seen as a possible threat. Seen as inferior but still most people would feel way too threatened by just his looks and the energy he gives off to start any type of shit with him.

Does your character ever sing along to music? pre ts ; This is giving me ideas of allowing a festival to happen and for him to attend. But yeah, he sings along to songs. post ts ; Nope. Best you will get is some very light humming.

Are your character’s thoughts kind? What about their actions? Is it difficult for them to speak or act differently from their internal feelings? pre ts ; Yes and yes!! And it is difficult for him to speak or act differently than his internal feelings. That boy is a pure ball of sunshine. Kind as he can be, both internally with his thoughts towards himself or others, and outwardly with his actions. So acting or speaking differently (more negatively/less kind) than his actions is extremely tough for him. post ts ; After everything having gone down. His thoughts? Not that kind anymore. When considering that he is now depressed, way way WAY more closed off and also bitter, all of that bleeds into his thoughts. Especially the bitterness that he holds over having been betrayed by everyone. He's bitter towards others in his mind, especially Reiner. But he's also extremely bitter towards himself. But I would say that even still, his actions would be considered kinder than his thoughts. But that's also not really by his own choice, he's basically a prisoner in Marley, even if he's not in chains anymore. And being a prisoner like that, where he's under supervision 24/7, means he knows that he can't act out with his actions, that he can't show that bitterness without it fucking everything up. So action wise, his unkindness only really shows through during sparring, but other than that he keeps himself subdued. And with that, I think it's pretty clear that it is now very easy for him to speak and act differently than his internal feelings, because there's no other choice.

Is there anything your character is a huge fan of? Band, series, etc? pre ts ; Nope. Don't think they have that stuff in Paradis...? post ts ; And also nope. I can see Marley possibly having that type of stuff but it’s not something Isaak cares about at all cause he’s got more important things to care about (like the War.)

Is your character any good at tongue twisters? pre ts ; Can see him being good at them at this stage, yeah. post ts ; … No, not after the GSW to the cheek he’s not.

Is your character the type to lick a plate/bowl? Do they care if anyone sees? pre ts ; Nope. He would see that as not having any manners if doing it in front of others. Not a thing he does while alone either. post ts ; Absolutely not, he would think it’s embarrassing to do that and especially after the GSW, he despises people seeing him eat so even more of a big no.

When cooking, what’s an ingredient your character uses a lot of? pre ts ; He always find a way to incorporate potatoes into the meal. post ts ; I will have to get back to you on this one later. Could see him still trying to incorporate potatoes into the meals a lot because of how he used to do it back home but unsure if that would still be his thing. Will think.

Somebody slaps your character. How do they react? pre ts ; Doesn’t fight back or anything really. I can see him being confused cause I truly don’t see a reason why anyone would ever slap him LMAO I can’t think of how he properly reacts cause I just do not see why they would do that to him. Is that bad. post ts ; No reaction, simply takes it. In his head probably imagines himself choking the person out but doesn’t show it outwardly.
