aww yeah it's question meme time

[hackitude]

Time to bring back one of my old faves...

the QUESTION meme

Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:

1. POST a top-level with your character name

2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character

3. ANSWER the question you were asked

4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!

We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!

QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.

Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

Okay but would Armin really ever come to Skye for relationship advice

Bonus question: WITH WHO

[blondtactician]

When you think about his options, Skye makes the most sense aside from possibly Kotetsu. Who else would he talk to? Erwin? Levi? Yeah no.

As for who he might ask about, maybe Jean. He has a few other friends he thinks are cute but he's very connected to and fond of Jean, and if they weren't both awkward as hell maybe that would go somewhere.

How did Skye celebrate her 21st birthday?

[hackitude]

Omg babies.

And uhhh this is PURELY 100% HEADCANON until I get otherwise Jossed because we don't have a lot of information about how Skye spent her younger years, but I'm gonna say she probably spent it at a bar throwing a wild party with lots of friends she's not actually particularly close with and getting really drunk.

Y e a h.

Does Armin have any particular "goals" here in MoM? Things he wants to do, for himself or for others? Stuff he wants to experience while he's got this respite?

[blondtactician]

Armin is still deciding whether he wants to attempt to fast-track into university or join the military when he turns 18. He's a bit :| about having to go through military training again, especially since he's even more mistrustful of the government than ever. Whatever he does, he wants to play a leadership role where his (hopefully by then) perfected vocal/persuasion abilities can be useful, but only in a positive manner.

In a more personal way he actually really wants get fancy and go to prom???? And do dumb things like hold hands and walk on the beach?????? He's a little bit curious of the idea of being a "normal" teenager, almost like it's something you could do as a job with a checklist, and he'll often do or try things because that seems like the "normal" thing to do, not because he wants to be normal but because he's attempting to learn cultural context. But the prom thing is particularly funny because it was prom season when he arrived to Heropa and he was like "what. what is this. this is so dumb." when he found out that it's basically just this big expensive ball for people who can't even spend the time getting hammered if they want to and he would continue to maintain he doesn't want to go but he totally wants to go.

What was the most awkward trend Skye embraced in her younger years?

[hackitude]

Wow Armin too cute.

And Skye was a teenager in the 2000s (specifically 2002 to 2008), and my headcanon is that she was totally a rebellious shitbag of a teen. I mean, she had extenuating circumstances and reasons for being so, but still. I'll just BET she went through a Hot Topic Avril Lavigne Sk8er Boi phase.

If you had unlimited time and energy and could app a third to MoM, who would it be?

If Armin were to return to AoTverse with memories intact, are there any lessons learned from MoMland that he'd hold close to his heart?

[blondtactician]

I think his memories of simple things - of seeing oceans and dolphins, a library full of books, and just having a safe, warm, clean place to sleep would help revitalize him. He'd take away from all of this that he's just a regular human being, that if he's anxious, upset, sad, worried, it's because of the situation and it is possible to have a very simple human contentment, because a toddler smiled at him on the bus, or whatever. He likely wouldn't have the means to make radical changes or invent a vaccine or anything like that, but he could look at a creature the size of a skyscraper and say, hey, people can make buildings this big and he'd just have more hope all around.

What scares Jaime the most?

[khajidont]

aww, Armin, that's sweet. :(

And... hm. I'm going to go for being used as a weapon, and the lack of agency that comes with it. He knows how ridiculously overpowered his suit is - he has weapons of mass destruction in his spine, essentially - and he fears the day that someone gets their hands on it, and by proxy, him. He already knows it happened in one universe, and he'd rather die than live a life controlled by another to wreak havoc and destruction.

The whole "I don't want to hurt the people I love!" is such a superhero fear, but it's one he's got and has good grounds for nevertheless. He keeps himself on a very short leash, and he knows that he's got other people watching out for him too, which he considers to be a very, very good thing. The altruistic reasoning aside, the idea of his consciousness being trapped while his body obeys another is a genuinely terrifying idea to him, something that he had a brief taste of during his possession by Yomiel.

How does Armin feel about all this Registration hubbub?
