Hi!

I've seen your truly exhaustive list of things you like about Brador xD He's such a pathetic wet creature man and I love him so much <3 I'm really curious on how you feel about the other main character in your fanfic, Djura! What are your thoughts on him? Also, you don't have to answer right away, so please take your time :)

That would be it, for now <3

Much love themasterofruins17

HELLO!!!!

Brador and Djura are constantly flipping spots for who's my #1 favorite Bloodborne character! (While Eileen and Lady Maria constantly flip for #2, funnily enough)

I absolutely love Djura. He is a beacon of hope in Yharnam. The game's item descriptions outright call him foolish for his kindness, and yet there's evidence that beasts are indeed people, or at least hold some semblance of a consciousness. Take for instance, the fact that Vicar Amelia can pray in her boss fight and clutches her pendant the whole time, or the Suspicious Beggar and everything about him. I find his morals very interesting- he encourages the hunter to explore the dream and continue to hunt beasts outside of Old Yharnam, meaning he acknowledges that beasts are a danger to Yharnam's citizens, but the ones under his care? Those are his people. They won't hurt anyone. They stay in Old Yharnam, knowing Djura feeds and protects them, they don't hunt the people living above. His dialogue when you befriend him warms my heart every time I hear him, he really is an uncle of sorts.

And yet, if the hunter purposely betrays Djura by attacking a beast after befriending him, he flips completely and seems delighted that he can kill you and his beasts get to eat you! He can be just as vicious and sadistic as any other hunter. He's the camera guy filming the wolf documentary flipping off the other guy who's filming the deer documentary, lol. He understands the nature of the beasts, their needs and everything. He's not dumb and he's not gonna force them to eat nothing but veggies.

Then the fact that he is a Powder Keg. He's evidently a creative and eccentric person because of that, he must've been exciting to be around back in the day! Not a boring day around someone who's constantly coming up with new ideas for doohickies and blowing shit up.

He is such a multifaceted character in a game where NPCs get about 5 minutes to shine. I can say that about a lot of NPCs, I think Fromsoft is great at putting so much character in such little dialogue. I also just love kind and sweet characters in these games, proof that it can prevail in a world of darkness. That there's always hope. So, I'm also attached to characters like Big Boggart, Zorayas, Anri of Astora, etc etc.

And then all my headcanons about him. ALL MY HEADCANONS!!!!!!!!!! I have too many. I delve into just about all of them in my fic, even the NSFW ones akdjdbsksj. Besides the overly sexually explicit ones, I don't think I've left any big ones out out. His favorite foods, eating habits, hobbies and skills, backstory, family background... He's definitely the most thought I've ever put into a character who isn't my own. Yes. Even more than Brador. Sometimes some of the headcanons I have for Brador boil down to "Wouldn't it be hilarious if ___?" Lol

Also, he's just hot. He's one of the hottest old men I have ever seen. Just look at those pants, oh my God lol.

Despite everything that's happened to him, the trauma, all those he's killed, he stepped up to protect those in need. He is genuinely a good person and a great character. If he existed IRL I would love to meet him. In summary, I love him for his kindness and that he's never afraid to do the right thing.

Except, you know, be honest with Brador that he knows the truth-- *gets shot*

*crawls back* anyway thank you for giving me an excuse to gush about him lol

Hello! I've been a fan of Zamonien/Zamonia ever since I first listened to the audiobook version of "The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear", and when I first read "Rumo" as a teenager, it quickly became my favourite book. Lately I've been coming back to Walter Moers and his writings, and I was delighted to find other fans here on this website <3 And when I found out about Frifnab, I was like, why didn't I think about it? That's such an obvious queer ship that apparently sailed straight over my head for such a long time xD Point is, I've read up on the translations of your fanfiction "The Gornab of all Gornabs" and it's amazing! All the characters are wonderfully in-character and even the dialect of Gornab the Ninetyninth is spot-on.

I'm aware that you privated your Zamonien/Zamonia works on AO3, a decision I completely understand. So, being able to read your fic on Tumblr as an alternative is great! But I'd love to read even more, and as english isn't my native language (german is) the translation thing is a non-issue. I just wanted to ask whether it's difficult to get an account on AO3 and if it's worth it! You can answer in english or german, both options are fine with me :) Please, take your time and don't feel stressed to reply quickly, we're all humans with our own lives to live here, and I understand that <3 With adoration for what you do and how you write themasteofruins17

Hello hello! I'll try answering in English so everyone can understand :D

I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOU LIKE MY FIC! It's been a work I've dedicated a crazy amount to, so to hear it get some love always makes me very giddy. Thank you for that! :D

It is not difficult to get an AO3 account - I thiiiiink these days you have to get into the queue, but the "old" way of doing it is having someone send you an invitation, which gets send to your email right away.

Of course, it depends whether you are cool with sending your mail to a stranger online (there's a reason my AO3 mail is a non-descriptive one), other than that, the invitation queue takes like, ah, eleven days if I remember correctly? But yeah. It's very simple at the end of it.

As for Frifnab, YES! It's just so in the face. These guys kissed and banged - or at least they wanted too but are too fucking repressed and emotionally constipated to consider their feeeeeeelings and desires. Who knows, maybe Hel would've been a better place if these two had gotten over themselves. Or it'd be worse. Might as well be that, considering everything else we know of them.

UND JETZT KURZ AUF DEUTSCH!

Ich hab die Original-FF auf Deutsch sogar auf 'ner öffentlichen Seite, nämlich auf Fanfiktion.de, HIER um ganz genau zu sein. Etwas simpleres Format als AO3, ohne horizontale Linie und so, aber es tut seine Aufgabe.

Ich weis darauf hin, nicht weil ich meine eigene Übersetzung so mangelhaft finde (obwohl ich die Kapitel jeweils in recht kurzer Zeit abgearbeitet habe, ohne Korrekturlesung durch irgendwen), aber ich leg wirklich allen, die das Original als solches gut verstehen können, ans Herz, dieses auch zu lesen.

Oder vielleicht bin ich auch einfach viel zu festgefahren darin, Rumo immer auf Deutsch zu lesen 😅

Danke für den lieben Ask!!!! 🩷🩷🩷

I haven't answered your comment yet because I've been busy, but I'm OVERJOYED at your reaction! It'll take some time for me to properly reply but just know that chapter 38 was THE chapter I imagined in my head over two years ago and prompted me to write this fic! So your comment is warranted aldjdjskks
