favorite thing about them

I love Rumi, solid acceptance story. I love love love her journey of self acceptance and her embracing of her own self doubt as a strength. Her flaws end up giving her her strength.

least favorite thing about them

I can't say I dislike anything about her.

favorite line

"Why didn't you love me? ALL OF ME?"

brOTP

Baby. I need them to be feral grimlins who don't quite trust each other but also both deeply love and care about Jinu together. I need like 50k words. Eventually @purplecatghostposts will feed me more, but until then I am standing outside Soap's door with a picture of a beaten within an inch of his life going "Please sir, I want some more."

OTP

I love them all. Rumi should get to be loved by all the people in her life.

nOTP

Rumi/Gwi-Ma?? I guess?

random headcanon

Her eyes glow like a cat if you shine a light in her face and she is not expecting it, and if she's really tired or not expecting it you can get her pupils to do the silly cat thing. Rumi: Silly mode ACTIVATED. Also I just have a lot of thoughts about half demons and her being a bit less normal as far as her needs and wants and it being harder to keep her on lock down when she was a baby and therefore Celine sort of overcorrected (In panic?) Like to the point of catching small rodents and bugs for eating kinda thing. Just that edge of feral. Just because I like to make her life hard. I also think she purrs. But that's just my I WANT NON HUMAN CHARACTERS TO BE NON-HUMAN CODED and also *I* Want to be able to purr.

unpopular opinion

Fandom is way too hard on her and the shipping wars are silly. Rumi did her best.

Free, obviously.

favorite thing about them

Badass bitch. I love her so much, I hate her so much. She is cold as ice but has shocking warmth that I was not expecting from her at all.

least favorite thing about them

JUST TELL YOUR DAUGHTERS YOU CARE ABOUT THEM

favorite line

"I love when you make me proud."

Everyone. Considering she went and asexually reproduced, I am going with Tomoe is Ace. I think she and Gabriel are hilarious together, in a sort of one of them was going to kill the other but dear god I love watching them. I think we really missed put because Nathalie was not in good enough condition to really be the straight man (Woman? Bi woman?) to their LGBTQ+ shenanigans. Loony Toons/Scooby Doo run across the fucking place.

OTP

While I aggressively don't ship her with anyone, I think Lila's dad is Nathalie's father as well (and Daddy Wheat). But I think he's the only one that's known her sexually and he fumbled the bag so bad she swore off human contact forever.

nOTP

Everyone. I think she is ace.

She can play way more instruments than you would think and she did art when she still had her eyes. Like really beautiful, traditional ink paintings. I think she was a lot more like Kagami. But her Felix (Daddy Wheat) stole something she couldn't get back. Reverse Aladdin style.

unpopular opinion

She's Lila's for real, biological mom and carried her for nine months apparently? And that she was a part of some element of her early childhood because looking back there are way too many hints for her to not have been.

But Also. I do think she loves both of her daughters, even if she is shite at showing it. I think she is a broken person, essentially. I think that damage makes her a bad parent, but I think she is trying in her own way to protect them and I find that way more interesting than a second Gabriel who clearly only ever loved his spouse and not the son.

favorite thing about them

Big brother. I'm a sucker for a good older sibling with a younger sibling they can't protect. Omg. I was lost as soon as season six aired. He was always the only one having like a normal reaction about Alix being locked away forever, and I loved that. I also love in Season 6 how he seems to have chilled out in ways that make him have that older gay vibe.

least favorite thing about them

No, bad, no human sacrifice!

favorite line

The one between his eyebrows. LOL. I don't do quotes so much.

brOTP

I'll be honest that everyone that I ship him with I can also have him be friends with except Felix. So definitely Felix. I think they would totally vibe on the history and mythology blog, but also I really want Felix to share the entire crazy archeology story that is his birth with the son of an actual archeologist. Jalil would be *appalled*. They did *WHAT* with ancient artifacts?

OTP

Adrien. Sorry. It's my private shame. I needed someone for a story I was working on that is unposted and I fell in love with writing it.

nOTP

Marinette? Girls? He gives me so many gay boy vibes.

random headcanon

Their mother died either at Alix's Birth or just after, and he largely took care of her while Alim got lost at work to try to recover. I do not think their mom's death was an accident. I think he was only eight or nine when she died and a lot of Alix's growing up took place in back rooms of museums.

unpopular opinion

He's right for protesting Alix being sent into the burrow and Alim should have spoken up against it as well.

song i associate with them

All the Rowboats -

Regina Spektor

No I will not explain, but it reminds me of him and Alix.

favorite picture of them

Every step an unwelcome shock,

A throat so tight, a whispered word,

Tears welling in midnight eyes,

A moan of despair more felt than heard,

A cold breeze twisting down spine,

A corner turned inside the mind,

A street crossed once before,

The memories locked inside the place,

A sharp turn, a twisted spine, the ice unyielding,

The time echoes in your skin,

The day is warm and the ice is gone,

But in my heart the echoes mix,

A place, a step. A laugh I hear,

It echoes of your smile still,

A smell, a brush, a weight I hold,

In my heart you'll never grow old,

Your footsteps and mine diverged,
