Hahah, I actually never got to DGM myself but I've threaded with Allens and others before! Not with Rin though, but considering she apparently loves stupid idiots and has a ton of trust / other issues and she's a hilarious combo of stay away from me vs greedy for everything... also heartbreaking, whatever that is, surely not how her life seems to be but gotta stay strong and not let it shoooooow most of the time, too proud to let anyone in on her isolation... :')

I will absolutely throw her at Allen for sure and we'll see how it goes, it's most likely gonna be great either way! Excited for her to meet another white haired idiot, who coincidentally sounds more like Shirou than Archer but has Archer's hair color ooops! o/

[likethelight]

This sounds like an amazing combo and one where I couldn't predict the cr, other than it could be really really cool. 👀 Since he comes across incredibly friendly and polite and sociable and well-adjusted, always smiling, would die for a complete stranger, yet is so affection-starved and just wants a home to belong so badly it hurts—and utterly denies himself all of that and is ridiculously guarded about himself and tries so hard to never let anyone know how badly he's actually doing by hiding behind the most heartbreaking smiles and saying everything is fine even when he's so lonely it actually hurts to read the fucking manga sometimes.

he is DUMB and needs people to call him on his shit

Also LOL ABOUT SHIROU. From what I remember of UBW there are definitely a few similarities there in the stubborn gentle hero who wants to save the world but is also kind of clueless sense. Also hilariously enough... his hair was reddish-brown before it turned white from trauma/being cursed LMAO. must be a protag thing.

I'm excited!! let's do this. I just might be a bit slow on the TDM because I have a convention I'm a panelist at starting Thursday too hhhh.

[greedyvixen]

I can never predict Rin's cr or threads, she's a stupid tsundere but also a complicated, extremely emotional hot mess even if she tries to not let that show and tags back to her surprise me all the time so... Everything is really, really cool but it's always like a jump or a dive into the unknown lmao. Allen, you sound like Shirou, or well, acombo of him and Rin but Rin is less helpful for people or so she says. (No, she is actually, being selfish helps with that.) RIN CAN CALL HIM ON BEING DUMB HIS SHIT.... while ...... she's also dumb and a stupid idiot herself too and affection-starved before prisma or here too because greedy girl, who also definitely doesn't want a home to belong to, what are you talking about??? Prim and proper, always smiling mask on and normal people will never notice how her loneliness might just be KILLING her ... Don't even let me get started on timeline differences in this game, lmao, or her canon point and future spoilers with those.

Yes, yes those definitely sound like similarities too.... o m g, i need this cr!

Let's do this!! It's okay, I'm slow way too often though maybe I can change it on this decade... Have fun at the con though and good luck with the panel, hope you'll have great time there!!

[likethelight]

gOD that's me and every thread with Allen ever. I feel bad when I tell people I really can't promise the outcome of any thread or predict them just because LOLL, he's so complicated and feels so strongly about SO MANY THINGS that I just... nope. Set the stage and turn him loose and I can guarantee it'll be interesting but there's no predicting him, ROFL.

SO BY THE POWER OF THEIR DUMB HYPOCRITICAL ASSES COMBINED... maybe they'll be slightly less dumb. 🤣🤣 but yes omg she seems the kind of person who can actually call him on his shit and it might sink in. maybe. eventually, once he gets to know her well enough. (She also wears her hair exactly like Lenalee used to and has a similar initial appearance and that will probably throw him briefly at first oof.) Although be wary Rin, he's exceptionally good at reading people and seeing right through to their pain. 🤣

thank you!! and awesome, sounds good )o)

[greedyvixen]

LMAO yeah, that... I definitely know how that goes. Also I lied or confused myself in all of this rambling about shirou and rin compared to him bc, i'm an embarrassment to playing rin... she's not always smiling (except... tiny polite smile counts but i'm thinking wider smiles) since that would be way too bad from her and most of the time her fake smile is the sign of danger. idek where that even came from, my brain is like a jetlag from traveling and social life or whatever, he can be smiling idiots with Shirou but like her fake smile is the worst sign of everything and she knows it too. Always polite and seemingly friendly at school to all normal people anyway, way too good at acting like everything is totally fine.

No. If you combine two stupid idiots, UBW has a scene where two of those just end up yelling at each other in front of a dangerous enemy and it's like enemy gets popcorn while idiots fight by yelling at each other and their lines are full of calling each other STUPID IDIOTS! Enemy just waits for them to kill each other but too bad for her, they don't do that. So combining idiots just means it gets worse, no? I say that but Rin's... from too early to have that moment with Shirou, where she tells him to value himself over others but she'll still call Allen on his shit. Girl with important mission to stop shirou from becoming a twisted asshole in the future will try to kick some sense into Allen too maybe... ??? (ooof, bye Allen, the hairstyle is not going anywhere...) ...Ahahah, he can read her well and see through her anytime, I sure don't mind, sounds super interesting to me even if Rin will hate it!

[likethelight]

It's fine!! there are 23246732487 types of smiling idiots and they're all so uniquely different. God, mood on the fake smiles though. He gets called on it sometimes in canon because his fake smiles just... they just hurt to look at okay.

LOL. See I'm very curious about that, if they would squabble and quarrel because Allen can be like that with some of his comrades/cr, he can sass back with bitingly dry wit and it's great, he can get so indignant and huffy when clinging to his tattered scraps of dignity—but it takes punching his buttons a certain way to make him ditch his manners and he tends to be incredibly gentle/patient/understanding with girls (who aren't trying to kill him/others) more than with boys. So more likely he'd just be Way Too Nice and Understanding, at most just sulking a little but still taking the abuse like a champ LOL. BUT I AM CURIOUS, because her personality is one that will punch his buttons too I think, he's just more likely to try and suss out why that is and be Painfully Understanding while Believing She's Fundamentally a Good Person and inadvertently get under her skin that way because that's just how he is.

I'm so sorry. He's an empathetic menace who cares too much, BUCKLE UP.

[greedyvixen]

... you're ... not wrong about any of that, especially not on the hurt to look at part.

That almost sounds like he's Shirou and Archer at the same time, here she thought one of each is enough for... ever. Rin's used to dealing with both and also to some sass from just Shirou too along with her constant bickering with Archer back home. Help, none of that made me look forward to this any less... SHE'S NOT A GOOD PERSON, or at least she denies that because ... way too many issues about everything. Now including even more regrets with how different timelines punched her about stealing Shirou to herself in her future, because he was supposed to become her sister's boyfriend. :')

But then again, Ishtar, aka the goddess walking around here in a body they copied/stole/took from Rin would be different if good parts of Rin's personality wouldn't have gone to her too along with it. Not that Rin knows that, so so, definitely not a good person at all! Go find some actually cute and good girls to befriend, idiot!!

Never be sorry, tho I'm also so sorry for Rin all the time! But hey, I'M SO READY!!

[likethelight]

I'M INCREASINGLY INTRIGUED AND EXCITED TOO OK. Also, lollllll wow. See, I keep meaning to try dabble at Fate, the aesthetic appeals to the cosplayer/costumer in me, BUT THE TIMELINES. THE TIMELINES MAN. I'M USED TO THE CONVOLUTED PLOT OF DGM BUT DAMN. I'll stick to poking at the various series on Netflix from time to time and going "this sure is pretty but where do I start."

And that's well, I mean... Look. Allen is technically labeled a traitor and a fugitive and technically you can say a lot of people are dead because of him AND HIS POOR IF NOBLE LIFE DECISIONS MIGHT BE WHY HE'S TURNED THE ENTIRE WORLD UPSIDE FOR EVERYONE HE CARES ABOUT AND HAS PUT THEM IN A TERRIBLE PLACE before he ran away from them too but I mean

look what I'm saying is he's not in a position to be that judgey, but even if things are complicated he has a damn good sense about people. also what does 'cute' have to do with anything??? he doesn't care about that kind of thing!!
