Flexible, for the most part. Jaywalking? Cool as long as you look both ways. Murder? Nah pls don’t kill
13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?
Yellow, bc that’s his favorite color. And no.
21. Why do they get up in the morning?
School. And his lust for vengeance.
32. Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?
No, he doesn’t really like to talk about himself, unless you count his half-hearted “I’m not all that interesting, haha” as a joke. You know who’s the real joke? Him.
34. How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?
Very hard. Guilt eats at him, keeps him up at night. He’s not good at absolving his emotions. Not good at communicating, either, because he’s ashamed of his actions.
41. How do they feel about children?
HE LOVES THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
FOR CREATOR: A) Why are you excited about this character?
I should be asking you the same thing, TEIYA. In all honesty tho, Ren excites me because he’s been a character I’ve been expanding since middle school (with a close friend) and he’s deeply rooted in a sense of nostalgia. Also he’s an idiot and who doesn’t love a good idiot?
B) What inspired you to create them?
I didn’t actually create him. My friend did, as we were developing a story together. One of those spiral story kinda things, like role playing almost. I created Eliza, she created Ren. The original inspiration for the both of us was the prospect of foreign exchange students. She said she might be getting one and we were like?? What if we made a story about a girl falling in love with an exchange student?? It became so much more than that tho and I’m glad bc otherwise I wouldn’t have liked the story as much as I do today.
(DISCLAIMER: I took all the characters and ran with them because maladaptive daydreaming is my guilty pleasure. Maybe me and my friend have different ideas of them, but whatever. We have a common ground.)
K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?
The angstiest idea that I’ve come up with for a fandom was for Miraculous and I think it was that Mari and Adrien never got together bc they kept missing each other and so everyone got lonely and things got piney and depressing??? I don’t even remember ?? There may have been character death???
S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?
Oh god so many I just really love fake relationships and Enemies/friends to lovers AUs bc I’m trash and UGH!!!
T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?
I hate mischaracterization ?? Idk if that’s really a trope but I see it a lot in both Marichat and Ladrien so ?? I also hate when the angst becomes too much? Just angst piled on angst and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to let up?? Also when the suspense or angst is never mitigated, just for that “edgy” feel
and your OC Teiya really intrigued me, additionally to the history between her and the King.
Could you talk about her a little more?
Thank you for reading anon! I'm very grateful. And thank you for the question. I hope you will not mind my endless yapping.
Well, Teiya is, in the alternate universe this story or series exists in, one of the commanders of the troops of Menegroth (a place that doesn't exist anymore in the canon). As you know she left Lindon around the exact time Gil-galad was crowned High King in the eve of his youth. She left because that consequently broke the promise between them.
I imagined them as very early childhood friends. Ereinion around that time under the care of Cìrdan, and Teiya, part of an Oprhan's home. In my head, they came to meet when he hurt himself after he'd strayed from Cìrdan's side on the farmer's market, a cut across his hand. She stared and watched him cry as he sat on the corner of the road, and after a while wandered off to pluck some yarrow, a plant known to still bleeding, and handed it to him. When Cìrdan found his disobedient little boy, he assumed they had become friends (though they hadn't exchanged a single word between them up till that moment) and allowed her to join them for lunch at his home, to at least thank her for helping him. After this is when they connect and begin to play with one another,
And both fall asleep on the porch, side by side.
Okay, pertaining to the dynamic between them: You must understand that she is weathering a constant storm inside of her, caused by many things. This explains her character, her actions reactions and lack thereof. Growing up among full-blooded elves as the only half elf was very hard for her. She trained hard to join and rank high in the Guard beside Ereinion, and it was her way of proving to herself and her peers that she was good enough. That doesn't cure the hurt such ostracism causes though, so she still does and might forever carry that. Not having any friends beside him, and on top of that no family deepens her rejection wound. She is not like the others around her, and she has no way of ever knowing who condemned her to that fate.
All of that was only made worse when her only friend broke the promise he'd made to her to stay by her side forever, though his coronations wasn't in his hands. And because of the situation between the two that preceded it, it left her questioning whether their friendship was ever as deep as she had thought, whether he'd ever regarded her as an equal (the insecurity about her half-bloodedness showing; furthermore, having stifled romantic feelings for him partly due to the reason that a half elf would never be seen as a respectable prospect for someone of royal lineage)
This act of abandonment seemingly confirms all of her fears and doubts. So she leaves without a word, which of course irreparably wound Ereinion. None of what she thought about him or them was true. He, too, had stifled romantic feeling towards his best friend, because he did not need their friendship to become romantic. Even despite the moment between them on the body of water, he was willing to pretend it never happened as long as they remained together. After that moment, he only clung harder to the need of her to stay close to him. He felt she was the only person who truly knew and understood him.
Truth was had she wanted a romance to blossom between them, he would not have denied it.
Which in my eyes = that they love each other but they're so complicated about it, lying to themselves, the list goes on 😒😮💨
Now that they have met again though, what creates friction and conflict between them and gets in the way of their love constantly is that it seems they have missed the door of opportunity. Both, stubborn,serious people, are unwilling to give up their duties. And they hide behind their duties to justify to themselves why they cannot commit to their connection. The truth is their emotions for the other frighten them. Both of them despise being rendered vulnerable by caring too much.
The intensity of their attraction is what enrages them against the other, the unwillingness to relent their duties, the unwillingness to allow themselves to not be made of stone. To soften and to crack.
This is what creates the push and pull, the hit-and cold, the moments of overwhelming loathing followed by vulnerability so intense to both it feels like death.
They are each other's kryptonite. Unavoidably they will get close again and again, but inevitably they will have to part again because they both cannot take it. They wound the other over and over again by retreating back behind the walls of emotion and duty, only to feel compelled to nurse those wounds back to health. It's a neverending cycle. Thorns on the most beautiful rose.
😁😚 Yeah. They're insufferable, but there is so much love between them it's irresistible. I will be musing and hopefully writing about them for a long time.
Starting to give my imaginary cats their identities.
Meet Teiya — he’s always following me around, probably the second sweetest of the all. He loves Jean more than me. He likes to knock things off the table on a moderate basis. Clingy.
Meet Bito — always curious, hates Jean, can be an asshole. Hates water. Often found is random places (hiding behind curtains), gives you dead animals as presents. Loud meower.
Meet Keni — my sweetest boy, always sleeping. Meows very very soft and quietly. Favourite spot: our dirty laundry basket. Loves cuddles and kisses.
Meet Yori — always want to be left alone, would only show up when we’re eating. he seems to be always plotting, i wanna know what’s in his mind. My third sweetest boy. Favourite spot: under the office desk.
Meet Riri — i love annoying him. He’s always alone, hates people, a pure asshole, always fighting with Bito and Teiya. He seems to be okay with Yori. Knocks things off ALL THE TIME, throwable.
And the addition to the pack, meet Oren still a kitten lol
