Sansa Stark | Game of Thrones

[stonebird]

1.) She murdered Joffrey to get revenge for her family.
2.) The same can be said of Ramsay Bolton and Petyr Baelish.
3.) She can turn into a great wolf - Dire-Wolf - with wings.
4.) She feeds any/all unsuitable suitors to her dogs.

[rasping]

To the dogs again, is it?

diluc ragnvindr | genshin impact | ota

[wineries]

1. It's a known fun fact that a shot of Fire-Water will have him struggling to maintain composure, but did you know this? An entire glass of wine will make him spill whatever is on his mind at the moment.
2. If he considers you an enemy, you better prepare yourself. While he doesn't get creative about it, he's not above torturing those he thinks of as villains.
3. Master Diluc is surprisingly innocent! Dirty talk makes him weak on the knees.
4. I wonder, why does he never return the affection of any of the maidens who are in love with him? Maybe he already has a beloved person but prefers to keep it a secret?

[elementalbust]

An interesting theory! Though one has to wonder- does our precious winery tycoon even have the time to enjoy such frivolous pleasures? It's quite hard for one to form bonds with anything when they have developed a habit of throwing away everything around them which no longer serves their immediate interests... [Kaeya downs the last of (several) drinks for the night and then turns his head away from the company sitting at his table, so that his voice may directly reach the man in question- whom he is fully aware has overheard the entire conversation from the bar.]

What is your opinion on the matter, Master Diluc?

Chikai Kuji | Sarazanmai

[measuringdistance]

1. He totally murdered his former gang leader.
2. He's the one who got his parents into debt in the first place.
3. He only keeps his little brother around to have a free pair of extra hands.
4. If you can get him drunk enough, he'll blab about literally anything.

[hidden_fragrance]

1) He's hiding something under that hat.
2) He pretty much murdered his way to the top.
3) He must have to summon a stepping stool regularly to reach things.
4) His sword has the ability to wrap around things - kills gruesomely.
5) His mother was a famous prostitute who could read.
6) He was kicked down the very stairs of his clan seat when he was 14
years old, but he didn't even bleed and only smiled - something is not right with him no matter how friendly he looks.
7) If it wasn't for the fame he gained during the Sunshot Campaign, he might still be serving Qinghe Nie Clan.
8) He's actually a spy for another clan.
9)Is it me or does he seem to hide or disappear at Clan banquets when Nie Mingjue is present?
10) He visits Cloud Recesses a lot. Just how close is he with Gusu Lan?

Alucard | Castlevania, Netflix

[cryptsleeper]

1. He killed his father, of course. Everyone knows that, just like how everyone knows he made a pact with his father's oldest enemy to make it happen.

2. He said he killed his father because of his mother but what does he do? He impales corpses just like Dracula did.

3. Apparently he never only takes one lover. Exclusively human ones even.

4. That old army his father had is stirring again. Apparently Carmilla's plans aren't as subtle as she thinks.

5. He doesn't even need blood to survive.

idk if they ever actually talked about Alucard being a vampire but 👀

[pricklywolf]

Okay, how is a vampire supposed to survive without blood?

Theseus | HADES

[deltastrike]

1) They say Theseus earned the favor of all the gods on Olympus, and already lost it from a few of them.

2) Possibly the son of Poseidon. Questionably.

3) Asterius = servant/rival/trophy husband?

[cryptant]

I suppose the gods think paternity tests are below them.

[ He's met Poseidon, a Poseidon, but he did not think everyone's pantheon would be similar. Even within the Panhistory of his world. ]

Edgar Roni Figaro | FFVI

[sandsome]

1.) He made a pass at a high priestess.

2.) He funded and joined a resistance group against the very empire his kingdom was allied with.

3.) Moonlighted as a thief named Gerad for a year. Was pretty good at it, too -- led a group and everything.

4.) His brother suplexed a train.

jessica jones | jj/defenders

[underachievement]

1. She’s a hero.
2. She’s heartless.
3. She knows the Avengers.

5) He rebelled to take God's throne in heaven

[stark_ravingmad]

Hm, now I'm going to say maybe in bed because I never know with you, Hot-Wings. Maybe I'm a guy who enjoys a bit of danger between the sheets.

[Totally.]

[soundwave_ascendant]

...you don't do any of those things, though?

Ziggy Stardust |The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust

[ziggyplayedguitar]

1) He's an alien.
2) He's a male (or a female depending on who you talk to)
3) He's slept with all his bandmates.
4) He's a self-centered brat.
5) He may or may not be an eco-terrorist in disguise.
6) He drugs people so they become addicted to attending his shows.
7) He has orgies with his fans/groupies backstage.

[itmeanscourage]

Honestly, anyone who believes #5 is somehow confusing you with an obscure villain in a mediocre environmental cartoon.

skekGra the Heretic | The Dark Crystal

[skeksisheretic]

1. He's in love with his Mystic counterpart.

2. He was banished because he turned against the Skeksis Emperor and wished to reunite with his light half.

3. He bound his own arms behind his back as atonement for his deeds as the Conqueror.

4. He likes urdrupe berries a little too much.

5. He makes the best grandpa candy in all of Thra.

4

[the_rebel_son]

I am not sure what an urdrupe berry is. If this were a human accusation I would assume they are calling you an alcoholic.

Loki | MCU

[coldsong]

Well, pick your poison:

There's that one about the horse...

Or that whole thing with the goat (ouch)...

But really, ask him about how he got Thor into a wedding dress and he'll be thrilled. (He looked so pretty!)

[chiaro_oscuro]

The one about the horse. That sounds, ah, interesting. An exaggeration of the facts, I'm guessing, or made up out of whole cloth.

[Ben would share s story of his own, but most of them aren't very much fun. Except for the time the bond with Rey activated for the first time and she saw him shirtless. That was awkward for everyone involved.]

...I've never actually heard that one. Clearly I need to catch up on my Earth mythology.

Mick Ronno | Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars | ota

[guitar_voodoo]

1. He's gay with all his bandmates.
2. Has foursomes with all his bandmates.
3. Sleeps with his guitar.
4. Snorts coke off Ziggy Stardust's legs to stay sane.
5. Sleeps with teenage groupies.
6. He's a hopeless romantic.

[itmeanstruth]

Ziggy can stay still long enough for that to work?

Balthazar | Supernatural | ota

[angelic_asshole]

1. He's a stripper who works at sordid nightclubs.
2. Is dating a red-haired prostitute.
3. Is a hooligan who steals Wal-Mart karts and goes on rampages with them.
4. Is a celestial asshole who snorts coke.
5. Is addicted to public sex and lewd acts.
6. Thinks trashfires are an interesting hobby.

[the_rebel_son]

Is it offensive that I feel like these are all true?

Jareth The Goblin King | Labyrinth | ota

[dance_magic_dance]

1. Is a king of lots of ugly goblins.
2. Is totally gay and lives in spandex for eternity.
3. He's an evil bitch who uses magic hairspray.
4. He steals babies for a hobby.

3

[ziggyplayedguitar]

I'm a Rock 'n' Roll bitch with magic make up, want to trade secrets?

Minoru - OC - OTA

[itmeanstruth]

1. He was dropped on his head as a child. Or dropped himself on his head. Same thing.
2. He’s obviously on something. Nobody is that fucking chipper all the time.
3. He’s sleeping with Ziggy Stardust.

[soundwave_ascendant]

I believe the problem is not that people say you are sleeping with Ziggy, but rather that they don't believe you are actually sleeping? I know you are, but I am an empath.

I'm sure that if people saw Ravi and me with Ziggy's parents, they'd think we were all 'sleeping' together, too. But of course, we are not.

However, I do sometimes wonder how you always manage to be so very 'positive'.

[Soundwave smiles wryly.]

Ravi said she spoke to you about that. Sometime, if you really want to hear about it, I'll explain my personal philosophy.

It's not as negative as you think it is.

It's just ... unembellished. Plus, I don't think I view certain concepts in a negative light, even though a lot of other people do. Some emotions that you view as negative, I view as neutral, depending upon how people react to and act on them.

The Stardusts are becoming chosen family for both of us, I think.

Soundwave | Transformers (IDW & Nexus Crossings)

[soundwave_ascendant]

1) I blackmail everybody, even my friends, who for some reason remain my friends.
2) I made the cassetticons out of scrap parts and dark energon.
3) The cassetticons are all my offspring...somehow?
4) The cassetticons are all my lovers.
5) I was a gladiator in Kaon with Megatron.
6) I was the brother of a Senator and came from a high-caste House but neither I nor any of them will admit it.
7) I'm secretly conjunxed with (married to) Shockwave.
8) Shockwave is my brother.
9) I have never interfaced with anyone.
10) I've been having an affair with Jazz (yes, the Autobot, and yes, people actually do say this) for the last 200 years.
11) I'm secretly conjunxed with Ravage.
12) Megatron and I fought a duel over Ravage and that's what "broke up the band".
13) I am loyal to Megatron no matter what he says or does.
14) I am loyal to the Decepticon cause, and will follow whoever is in charge at any given moment.
15) I am loyal only to myself.
16) I have a pet elephant.

(No, I don't know where people get some of these ideas. No, please don't tell me. Also, for the record, I did not introduce Megatron to Loki.)

had to.

[coldsong]

...Wait, who thought you introduced him to me?

[Yes, this is the most interesting rumor in that list to him, because it concerns him specifically. Loki has many fine qualities but a lack of self-centeredness is not always among them.

However:]

Also, may my children meet your pet elephant some time?

Loki | MCU | OTA

[cuttingremark]

1) You've heard the story of hos Loki changed into a mare and gave birth to an 8-legged horse, right?
2) I heard he killed the All-Father in retribution for imprisoning him.
3) They say he can look like anyone or anything.
4) He's got more bastard children than even Heimdall can count.

3

[hobblepot]

Tell me, is it true?

[He smiles faintly, expectant. In a few short years, Gotham has challenged his perception of the impossible, as has mingling with others in this strange nexus of worlds they all happen to be visiting.There is plenty of room for surprises, still.]

oswald cobblepot / penguin | GOTHAM

[hobblepot]

i. I heard Penguin ate human flesh before, like, really stuffed it into his face like there was no tomorrow.

2. If vampires exist in Gotham, then that guy is one of them. They don't get pastier than that.

3. Oh yeah, he's definitely a virgin.
