this’s really hard to choose... let’s go with... Alidae (and Ienelies as emotional support), seen as i’ve been developing him a lot recently.

1: What is your full name?

Alidae: Alidae Gabriel Alphonse. I’m personally not fond of it.

Ienelies: C’mon.... we all know ‘Alidae’ isn’t your real name.

Alidae: Are you drunk? Of course it is.

2: What does your name mean?

Alidae: I.. uhm..

Ienelies: Hah! You’ve fucked yourself here, haven’t you? If it’s any consolation, you could always tell them what Adaline means.

Alidae: Why in oblivion would I do that? That’s not even my name, Ienelies.

Ienelies: [Deep sigh] I know.

Ienelies: You always used to boast about how your mother always knew you’d be noble. Adaline means ‘noble kind’.. Alidae means nothing. You really were noble back then.

Alidae: ...Could you shut up talking about things that I don’t know?

3: What are your nicknames?

Alidae: Oh, I have plenty. ‘Ali’, ‘The Pestilance’ and ‘Summerset’ being a notable few. But I would very much appreciate not being called ‘Summerset’, sentimentality and triviality.

4: What is your gender?

Ienelies: Oh boy....

Alidae: Gender is false. A social construct to demoralise and conquer. Oppression given blame to mental illness. I have no time or sympathy for such a thing.

Ienelies: Could you get any more pretentious, honestly?

5: What is your sexuality?

Alidae: I... don’t know. Gender does not matter to me in any regard and I get... sexual desires... but I’m unable to act on them due to my blessing.

Ienelies: That’s pansexual, Summerset.

Alidae: But-

Ienelies: Nope, not acting on needs because of some dumb curse doesn’t count. Still pansexual.

6: Where are you from?

Alidae: I’m from The Pits. I’ve spent most of my life there, ordering. It’s n- Why are you looking at me like that, Ienelies?

Ienelies: You aren’t from The Pits. You’re from Valenwood. You aren’t the best person to ask about your own past, you’ve been stripped of most of it.

7: How old are you?

Alidae: Older than I look. I stopped counting long ago, yet my best guess would be 600 or so.

Ienelies: You have GOT to be kidding me! 600? That’s all the memories he left you with?!

Alidae: All who left me with?

Ienelies: Y’know what, we’ll have this conversation later. He’s well over 1000, by the way.

8: What is your magic form/ designation?

Alidae: I... I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean. But the form I take in Oblivion is much more grandiose than this one. Now, do you have anything to comment on how wrong I am?

Ienelies: Not this time. You didn’t even do magic back then, let alone have a different form.

Alidae: Good, keep your mouth shut.

9: What is your human form?

Alidae: I’ve never been fully mer, actual-

Ienelies: Okay, now that’s complete bullshit. I’ll answer this one.

Ienelies: It was... really pretty. Not too different from how he looks now, just add more freckles, dye his hair platinum and get rid of those green... whatever they are... across his face and make his skin a little more golden and less gray. And there you have it, Adaline Alphonse, back from the dead.

10: What are your aesthetics?

Alidae: Hmm... anything supernatural. Turquoise is also good. Cauldrons, bluebells, aquamarine stones, bluejays and gothic culture.

11: Who is your best friend?

Alidae: I find myself drawn to saying Aerine. He is the only one I can find myself speaking to without being interrupted by with meaningless untrue details about a past that didn’t even exist.

Ienelies: Just because you can’t remember it doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

12: Would you ever get a piercing or tattoo?

Alidae: Well, my ears are already pierced and I have a small, however strange, tattoo of a symbol on my shoulder.

Ienelies: You still have that? I thought your lord would have gotten rid of any evidence, tut tut. Hey.. what about your Prince Alberts? I can’t imagine you would’ve kept them.

Alidae: MOVING ON.

13: When are you happiest?

Alidae: I would say when I’m working but.. there’s a difference between boredom and happiness I suppose. Hmm.. Being here.

Ienelies: ...Care to elaborate orrrrr...?

Alidae: You shouldn’t need me to, if you know me as well as you think, Stride.

14: What is your biggest secret?

Alidae: ....What my parrot over here has been squawking about, regarding missing memories, may have some weight. I am unable to remember my childhood.. family, friends... lovers. Nothing past waking up in The Pits. Serving in Oblivion. I still have no idea who this ‘Adaline’ you keep referring to is, however.

Ienelies: See! You know but refuse to understand, you stubborn mer.

15: Who is your sidekick?

Alidae: To imply that I am in need of a sidekick is utterly offensive.

Alidae: But Ienelies. Ienelies is my sidekick.

Ienelies: Summerset. You can kick me all you want, I really don’t mind - and if you want to kick me that badly, you only need ask.

Alidae: Must you make everything disgusting?

and we’re done! i hope you enjoyed listening to these two walking disasters bicker for a few moments.

TAGGING!!

i’ve been bed-ridden for a little while, so here’s a tiny comic-ish thingy for the disease bastard and the tentacle baby 🥰

(I got your ask after this, dw about it!)

Aerine: Uhmm.. so who’s doing th-

Alidae: Me, obviously. This question was made for me, it seems.

Ienelies: Ali. You think everything’s made for you.

Aerine: I don’t thi-

Alidae: Nonsense. Now close your mouths and open your ears.

89: What do you think of yourself? What do you think everyone thinks of you? Be honest.

Alidae: Now, I personally believe that I am far superior to every being to exist or to ever exist. Bar none.

Ienelies: Last two words, Summerset.

[There’s silence for a few moments.]

Alidae: I am being honest!

Ienelies: You sure? I knew you when you were mortal, Ali. Honestly, you make me look like the second biggest liar in Oblivion.

Alidae: Fine, whatever! I think I’m satisfactory the way I am! I don’t need to improve myself for other people or their seemingly divine opinions! I’m willing to accept that... a few people... are better than I, but what does that matter?!

Ienelies: You can stop ranting now and answer the second part.

Alidae: Just shut your mouth for once.

[Audible sipping sounds are heard.]

Alidae: And.. I don’t know what others think, to be quite frank - I could not care less. The opinions of a strict few are the only that cause me grief.

Aerine: Strict few?

Alidae: Yes, such as yo- Wait no. I’m not going to tell you who they are.

Aerine: Any reason?

Alidae: I have my reasons, Valenwood.

Ienelies: He doesn’t want it used against hi-
