for the character ask: Penguin (gotham) Haida (aggretsuko and steve (stranger things)
Yay thank you so much!!! <3
First impression: Well I think I was excited that Penguin was already in the first episode, but I had no idea how big role he was going to have, I just hoped he would be in lot of episodes (I wasn’t let down, haha!). I remember being excited that he was young and working at a club. He seemed a bit meek maybe? I was like “please Penguin, don’t whack at that man with a club, you’re better than that” xD Impression now: Woow he can endure like anything?! Also in season 4 I didn’t like him in the beginning so much as he seemed a bit too bureaucratic etc. I like him better when he is more in action or when he has been an underdog for a while and then triumphs, haha. Also I like when he is on Jim’s side. His season 1 haircut is the best.
Favorite moment: Oh there are so many since he is in like every episode! I really like the scene where he says to the mayor who thinks has outsmarted him and has Penguin surrounded by gunmen: “Oh you are always one step ahead... never three!” and other gunmen are pointing at Mayor James and his gunmen, haha. I like how in some extra materials it’s said like he is like a chess player and thinks his moves a lot beforehand. But sometimes (lol well often) the emotions get best of him, fascinating combo for a bad guy. There are so many other scenes but this reply would just become too long if I listed them all! Okay, I gotta say that I just love Penguin and Butch’s bamf entry with the bazooka.
Idea for a story: Something about him having bad Arkham flashbacks or something activated in his mind/more Hugo Strange experimenting, I remember there being a hint of that in season 2 and it never got answered in the series?! Story would involve Ed! Also a story about him and Fish, maybe the early days? Unpopular opinion: Hmm not sure do I have any unpopular opinions of him. He was a better mayor than James or Galavan lol!
Favorite relationship: With him and Ed being pals and partners! And him aiding Jim, they make an interesting duo. Also Penguin with Selina is hilarious. And him and Butch. And of course him and Fish Mooney. Favorite headcanon: He kills a tailor if they make a bad suit for him. Hmm not sure is that my favorite headcanon, it just popped in my mind. Also he seems like a person that forgets to eat. I feel like Ed is like this too (well he basically dissects his lunch lol), what a disaster couple xD They would be more docile if they ate more, haha. Haida:
First impression: Hmm I am not sure did I have any first impression, probably a surprise there was a hyena character in anime. Also he seemed like he was trying to be “cool” but not succeeding. Impression now: The best fluffball of misery ever, poor Haida! He’s a good guy. I feel so bad for him! He’s my fave. Favorite moment: I like his shy moments so much.
Idea for a story: Haida getting laid off from the work due the company not doing good enough and he being unable to tell that to Retsuko and Fenneko and then they one day wonder why Haida is not at work.... ;__; I’d love to write/read such a fic. Unpopular opinion: I would have liked to see what had happened if he had punched Tadano xD Favorite relationship: With him and Retsuko, hehe. Also i kinda loved it when he teamed up with Gori and Washimi, I’d like to see him becoming friends with them and Retsuko not knowing this.Favorite headcanon: He would like to do something creative for a living. He starts some sport hobby secretly to become more buff, haha.
First impression: Ugh, an asshole.Impression now: Awesome best character ever best babysitter so funny so random best friend of Dustin yayyyy Scoops ahoy!Favorite moment: Like so many good moments in season 3 especially. And when he gives advice and encouragement to Dustin in season 2. Also love the bit in season 2 when he yells to the the arguing boys “come help me, all i see who is helping me is this random girl” (Max) or something like that. Cracks me up so badly. Idea for a story: Ooh so many story ideas....! Steve feeling left out/dumb because the kids and Nancy&Jonathan are all so smart and at the rental place the nerd Keith is picking up on him. Angst/hurt/comfort of course! Unpopular opinion: I don’t know what is in or out in Stranger things fandom. I don’t like Steve/Billy ship at all. Too many fics with that ship. Favorite relationship: Steve and Dustin as best bros! And friendship with Robin! Favorite headcanon: He spends a lot of time with Dustin, they watch videos together and have sleepovers at Dustin’s place. Also that Nancy is still surprised about the change in Steve and seeing him more interested hanging out with kids than trying to date girls.
Yay this was so much fun, thanks for the great asks! :D
