Hiiiiiii you can just ignore this if you want to but I was scrolling through older asks and I saw the dark au stuff (very yummers btw 🤤🤤🤤🤤 and this is for Silverking bc I'm obsessed) i always play w MCs who are a bit (read: VERY) self sacrificial, soft and gently but not necessarily weak or a martyr complex (but something close to it). They love caring and doting for others but they can be a bit spacey and oblivious on romantic approaches to them and also has a habit of pushing themselves to the brink of exhaustion and hurt.
For Silverking this manifests in how they repeatedly ignore sleeping in favor of keeping watch of the town and spoiling the kids and anyone else who enters their library :^) anyways I'm very VERY interested in how the Silverking RO's handle an MC like that for uhm Research purposes trust me.
Aww, thank you! XD This is a sweet ask (And yis, the dark au was very dark XD Imagine me making an IF where it's just red flagged devoted ROs)
But to answer your question: How would the SK!ROs handle an MC who, in a sense, put others before themselves to exhaustion and pain and also being oblivious to romantic interests towards them?
Zeus: Well, for one, this MC and Zeus would have in common - they're both oblivious to romantic approaches, so you can imagine these two either having a very wholesome interaction (can't help but think of Fran and Maxwell from The Nanny in that soulmates episode) or the little romantic moments they share together just getting ruined/cut off from their oblivious natures. XD
But Zeus would be keeping a very close watch on MC's state. Hell, if they were apart, even for a bit, the first thing Zeus would do would be to check if MC was injured in any way - even a papercut.
But they do admire MC's willingness to help and understands this as being from their innate kindness. Zeus would find it quite admirable (but they will urge MC to get some sleep, even if Zeus has to roll them up to prevent them from leaving their bed!)
Hermes: They might find MC's oblivious nature to romantic approaches amusing. They'd also probably see it as an advantage, since Hermes isn't thinking of going into the dating pool again...until they end up thinking about MC and subconsciously flirt with them, realizes what they're doing and then hide out in their lab to shove such thoughts off.
As someone who admires a person living how they wish, Hermes understands MC wanting to help others and being kind. Hell, they find that cute, even the spacey part of MC.
But as a doctor (and an exasperated teammate)? Good God, please, for all that is holy, WHY DON'T YOU SLEEP, YOU SWEET LITTLE TROUBLE MAGNET?! They will use tranquilizer darts on MC if they have to!
Dionysus: 10000000% mother hen mode! If MC is going to help people, let Dionysus join in! They're all about helping community and creating bonds.
Of course, seeing MC pushing themselves, Dionysus would be trying to appeal to MC on the benefits of self-care. "Helping yourself is helping others too. If you get yourself hurt too far, who would be left to help those you hold dear?" and if MC tries to say Dionysus would, they'd smile and say gently. "I'm far more focused on helping you, [Name]. If you let me help you get proper rest and actual recovery, then we'll be back to helping the community, stronger and better, right?"
Zeus has been a workaholic and since Dionysus and Zeus have been friends for a long time, Dionysus has had experiences of dealing with workaholics.
Ares: They're so down bad for sweet MCs, it's not even funny. Of course, Ares would be the intimidating one in this little dynamic - as for romantic approaches...Honestly, they're very blunt and extremely patient, so I can't imagine MC being oblivious still when Ares's the type that goes. "I like you. No, not as just a friend. Not only a family either. I mean the type that involves dating. Yes, dating - the one with kissing, coupling, all that shit. Yes, I'm serious. No, I'm not joking." Honestly, Ares would be having a fun time confirming their affection to MC, especially if MC starts getting more and more flustered. They'd probs end up grinning too, eyes alight and hanging onto MC's every word. (ngl, swooned a bit)
MC, pushing themselves overboard and overworking? Ares would be trying to support MC, maybe minimize the damage if possible. But when MC is in recovery or hasn't gotten enough sleep, Ares would just pick MC up and, regardless of the protests, they'd end up keeping MC under their stern watch. They'd also point out something like "How the fuck are you going to help anyone if you pass out midway? And don't say you won't, because you'll be bleeding out the moment the job's done. Rest, cadet. Even soldiers need time to recuperate before they're back on the field."
Dolos: Very amused with oblivious MC - just constantly flirting and teasing (and would probs send dangerous vibes towards people who try to flirt with MC). They're also a bit protective with sweet MC. While Dolos doesn't dissuade MC from helping people and all (after all, they wouldn't dare to prevent MC from being who they are), Dolos is cynical and sceptic by nature. It mainly stemmed from [spoilers], so it'll take a while before Dolos is like "Guess these people are okay. For now."
But an MC who's pushing themselves to the brink? Dolos would be trying their best to support MC, but they won't lie - it's terrifying to imagine MC one day pushing too far that they end up losing MC. So they may get a tad bit paranoid if they even get the sense that MC's trying to get out of bed or attempting to get 'one more thing done' instead of resting, recovery and/or sleeping.
Hey there! Have you figured out anymore of the recipes for BAP on StarPop? I'm having some trouble ^^,
Hello! Sadly no, I have completely depleted my ingredients and found nothing lmao, I’m convinced Jongup’s dish is a burger but I just can’t find the right combination, I will keep trying tho, is harder than I tought ಥ_ಥ
Do any of the ROs from SK or TSR have embarrassing secrets or accidents? (I could honestly imagine at least one RO from SK slipping on a banana peel during a mission lol.)
Hrm...Embarrassing secrets or accidents... 🤔
For SK
Zeus: Zeus doesn't really find much stuff embarrassing for them. But there was an incident where Zeus accidentally brought a horde of animals into the lobby of Mythos like a Disney Princess. Took the people in charge of cleaning the situation up a whole week.
Hermes: A total Momma's boy/girl. :D Not really embarrassing, but Hermes is a bit shy about being called as such. (Though, this topic is a very sore one for Hermes...)
Dionysus: One time, during a mission, the squad had to go through an abandoned factory and Dionysus was sneaking in from the steel beam, ready to signal the team to jump in when a pigeon, which just so happened to be next to them, decided to shit on one of the enemies and alert them.
Dionysus was so mortified by the fact their cover was blown from a shitty pigeon. XD
Ares: There was a mission involving a zoo and Ares was disguised as one of the zookeepers. After the mission ended, the herd of sheep that they took care of during their undercover period ended up following them, surrounding Ares like the bodyguards with Mr Tipton in Suite Life of Zack & Cody.
The agents outside of Squad Greek saw this and tried to make fun of Ares, only to get baa'd angrily, chased and then bitten by some of the more aggressive sheep. Ares still make occasional visits to the zoo the sheep are at when they have time and send high quality food and letters when they couldn't! (One of the zookeepers would read the letters out to the sheep and while they couldn't understand the words, they seem to know the intent behind it.)
Dolos: Hrm...Honestly, I can't picture Dolos getting embarrassed...Unless MC stumbles upon their many signs of worship to MC in the romanced route. The storage unit full of MC's paintings, the drawing book of different portraits of MC, a drawing of how Dolos would make a shrine if they didn't think it'd be too far...
Art had been Dolos's best coping mechanism, that's for sure :'D
For TSR
Maverick: One time, in the past life, he was working up the nerve to confess - but instead of 'I love you', he ended up saying 'I want dew' to MC, who was asking if he wanted anything to drink.
Poor boy ended up burying his face in his pillow, ears red to the very tip of them.
Rydigan: He's a very eloquent man, has a way with words. But around MC (past life, and maybe even this life? 👀), his tongue just seems to flail about and spills more than he ever should.
Ittania: She loves romance novels, whether they be good or trashy!
Enid: She has a soft spot for birds, especially the ones that parrot curse words all innocently!
In SK what would the ro's reaction be to a mc that's fluent in many languages?
Zeus: Is impressed by MC's wide range of language and wonders just how many MC knows. If MC starts learning a new language, Zeus would want to join in the learning and ends up making helpful tips and ways to learn new words.
Hermes: Is relieved that if they ever travel overseas, they have another translator if there comes a situation of splitting into two teams in a foreign country. 🤣 Doesn't help that Hermes wants to haggle the prices but is shit in learning new languages unless it's curse words or inappropriate phrases.
Dionysus: Dionysus would eat up so much to a language-fluent MC. They learned a lot of language (French, Spanish, English, etc) and are always learning a bunch more. Is willing to teach MC any language that Dionysus knows but MC doesn't yet. Would be excited to have a joint-study session together with MC too!
Ares: They'll be curious if MC's voice have any differences when speaking in another language - like the fluctuations, inflations, etc. Would find it quite hot, just saying. (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Dolos: "Let's see how many words you'll remember once we're alone, tweety bird. 💚" Dolos has picked up bits and pieces of other languages and, because of spoiler, it's quite hard for them to learn a new language. But they love sign language and has learned ASL.
What pets would the ROs have in TSR and SK if possible? (My MC would totally have an orange cat that has beef with Oli on a regular basis🫠)
You are right - Oli and the orange cat would have so much shenanigans when MC's not home 🤣 You could make a movie of how chaotic things can get.
To answer your question:
For SK
Zeus: Whichever MC decides...Please, legit, let MC decide because Zeus would need a whole farm just to house all the pets they ever want...
Hermes: Very sceptical in having a pet - but I can imagine Hermes soon warming up to a very affectionate dog!
Dionysus: They love any and all pet! Would ultimately have guinea pigs or hamsters for pets and name them after flowers (Daisy, Tulip, Rose, Dandelion, etc)
Ares: Very much a cat person, especially one adopted from the streets. Would be a total cat dad within an hour.
Dolos: Birds, especially crows. But Dolos doesn't like to cage them, so they don't really adopt one. I can imagine Dolos helped this one crow and all of a sudden, no matter where they're staying in, there's a crow and its family just chilling outside their window or balcony.
For TSR
Maverick: Probably a husky out of all animals - they'd definitely enjoy the snow in his duchy! They're loud, but Maverick would find that pretty endearing in the usually lonely duchy. Unfortunately, animals tend to be scared of him - a fact that makes Maverick pretty sad.
Rydigan: There's already a lot of dogs, courtesy of Rydigan's sire mom having a couple of lap dogs and his carrier mom with a couple of guard dogs.
Ittania: Any pet would do. Be warned: She'd be spoiling that pet and shower them with so much affection!
Enid: Parakeets. She has always found them adorable!
I sure do miss the angst hahaha—— jokes aside, how will the TSR ROs react if MC were in their clothes??
Maverick: He would feel very tender, if that makes sense! Just the sight of MC in his clothes gives him a sense of warmth, even if the clothes are a bit too big or small for MC! Of course, he's a little feral over it too, especially if MC's only wearing his shirt that subtly reaches to the mid thigh...
Rydigan: This man would be wishing for MC to wear his clothes more often - and maybe wish for opportunities to wear theirs, if they're willing!
Ittania: She would be fawning over how cute MC is in her clothes! I won't lie though, I feel she would be oblivious of the implications if people see MC wearing Ittania's clothes and just think "Friends do it all the time, right?"
But when asked if she has shared her clothes with others, she would have this pinched expression and go "I don't think they would look as good in them as MC."
Enid: It'd be a miracle if Enid would even allow it, let alone MC being able to fit in them. But she does have this idea of getting clothes more suitable for MC with her perfume. Totally not because she wants MC to be reminded of her while wearing these clothes. Nope!
