Thank You For Your Answers

Thank you for your answer’s

I appreciate them very much and I also love the odea that he and Narsus are childhood friends and that they often make shenanigans and were up to no good.

For the ask game. May I request 13,17 and 18 for Daryun? If you haven’t done it already. 🩷

Thanks for the ask!! (The game is here is anyone's curious)

13. Your favorite friendship they have: a tie between Narsus and Arslan. For Arslan I see Daryun as a big-brother-mom-friend type and with Narsus it's more of a bickering-besties type relationship, yknow? I love how everyone can be like "wow, Narsus' plans are so cool and brilliant" and Daryun will come in with a "Are we talking about the same person? This asshole? Are we sure he's cool??". Like, that's just the dynamic they have in my head and I love it. Also they were friends when they were younger and I love that.

17. What do you think their first word was? Hmm, not sure actually, I haven't ever thought of that. I can't even remember if they mention who his mother was in the manga but I want to say it was a generic "mama". Or it could be something super patriotic, not sure.

18. How do you think they were as a kid? (Like, were they shy, noisy, wild, etc): a neat freak that hated going outside of his routines. Very disciplined as well. I hc him to have some sort of neurodivergency as well so the routines probably helped him. He was probably terrible at planning things out though and was easily confused by all the court manipulations he probably faced climbing the ranks as he grew up. He was a very responsible, serious kid and people praised him for being mature. Also, I hc that he met Narsus pretty young as well and they were friends as kids.

Thanks again for the ask! Have a nice day :)

2 4 and 24 for Shapur? 👀

Thanks for asking me…..

Ooh this are some interesting questions.

2) When I think truly started to like them

Immediately……I first saw him. It was the brief moment when Kahrlan introduced the Marzban at Atropathene. I more like him after the fight with Kubard on the battlefield.

And for a short moment I dislike him after he died……Thanks for that

I must say that I first watched the anime and later read the manga. I am a late blommer when it comes to the heroic legend of Arslan. But when I catched up with the story I even more like him because of the rescue scene in the manga. It love the character even more when I found out that he rescued his little baby brother from the mountains and the death. And I stiln thinking that Shapur is a character with so much opportunities (we were robbed of this opportunities)

4) How many people I ship them with

Not many…….My OTP is still KubardxShapur and I don’t know why but the ship DaryunxShapur is works very well for me

And of course my OC Kayra

So as I say I don’t ship Shapur with many other characters because I think for a relationship he needs another character that can handle his charter traits. On the one hand, that would be Kubard, who keeps challenging him, and on the other hand, Daryun, who brings him down a bit with his way and point of view..

And of course KazaixShapur @tired-reader-writer OC. They both are my absolutely favorite and I adore their relationship so much

24) What do you think is a secret they have that they never told anyone?

Mmmh ok this one is quite tricky…..and I must say that I am not quite sure about this.

Like @innerchorus and @tired-reader-writer I am quite sure that in canon he is not good at swimming but I am not sure if this is a secret.

But I am also sure that he is a fear of heights and that this is something that I wouldn’t tell someone. Imagen Kubard how he would tease him about that.

In my Au he is also afraid of spiders and would keep it a secret.

No I haven’t done it yet

Thanks for tagging me

The first character I fell in love with yeah this is quite easy….sorry guys it is Shapur. I was not truly into the anime at first but when he had his moment it hits me like a brick wall. Sadly it was a fast romance

The character I never except to love as much as I do now Gieve, Farangis, Alfried and Zaravant. I think Gieve is obviously. As for Farangis and Alfried I didn’t dislike them not at all but in the first place it was more like „ok you are here and now?“ So what I try to say is that I couldn't relate to either character at first. For Zaravant….in the first place I really dislike him. I mean reslly??? Come on he was so, uselessmaybe the wrong word, but yeah useless. But now I really like his character growth and that he is someone that knows that he has make a mistake and apologize for that. I really appreciate this.

A character that everyone else loves that I don’t mmmh good question. Maybe Hilmes? It is not that I hate him or dislike hin. It is….mmmh more like I don’t warm up to him yet. But I definitely like him more then at the beginning so we will see…maybe at the end I will really like him.

A character I like that everyone else hates Iss there a character? I mean ok the obviously ones but yeah….I don’t think that in this fandome is much hate against a character? Maybe for me it is Saam? Did anybody hates him? So yeah maybe it is Saam…..poor man

The character I used to love but don’t any longer Hasn’t happen yet. It is more like the opposite. The longer this story goes on, the more characters I like.

The character I would totally smooch Isfan on the forehead. Arslan, Elam and Daryun on the cheek. Air kiss for Gieve and Kubard.

Shapur totally on the lips

The character I wanted to be like

Kubard. I would totally like to be like him. At first tall!!! And he is badass. And I like the way he thinks. I mean come on. He really doesn't care what other people think of him. He has a good heart and still does what he thinks is right. sometimes I would like to be like him too. just having this attitude "ok I'll do it, I don't care what the others say"

so yes i would like to be a bit more like him

The character I‘d slap This would be a long, long, long, long list. Trust me this would this was going to be a long night and an even longer post.

The pairing that I love Shapur and Kubard and I am an absolutely softy for Isfan and Gieve. I know very mainstream but it can’t be helped.

The pairing that I despise Don’t know. Really ship what you like. I am open for every pairing and for everyone come to me with your ideas. I am totally open and up for every ship.

@innerchorus I don't remember if I've done this before but here it is!

@marchdancer @concernedbrownbread you guys done this?

The first character I first fell in love with: Arslan! He's had a chokehold on my psyche ever since.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Gieve and Gurgin! Oh and Alfarīd. I didn't hate her, I was just ambivalent until recently. And Kubard as well!

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: I don't think there's anyone like that for me, my tastes pretty much align with many others'! If I had to choose at any cost then probably... ehhhh Jimsa? I don't hate him, I just need more time to warm up to him.

The character I love that everyone else hates: Who even does the fandom hate aside from the Obvious ones? ...Zahhak? Especially considering novel spoilers of his origins and how he was responsible for a lot of character deaths? I don't know, I do enjoy thinking about him a lot though.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: So far hasn't occurred yet.

The character I would totally smooch: Arslan on the cheek and Jaswant on the forehead, please.

The character I’d want to be like: Farangis. I admire her confidence and courage, and unflappable composure even in the face of hostility (from her temple-mates) and ridiculous annoyances (Gieve). I also love how blunt and honest she is, I tend to... not do that, because I have a habit of appeasing others at all costs. I'm conflict-avoidant to an inordinate degree.

The character I’d slap: Do you want a list. Because I have a list. (Not part of The List but I'd karate-chop Gieve's head in an affectionately annoyed way.)

A pairing that I love: Gods there's a lot! Gurgin/Zandeh, of course, Zandeh/Hilmes/Irina as well, and Arslan/Merlaine.

A pairing that I despise: The most a pairing ever goes for me in this fandom is mild dislike, and what other people ship is not my business.

sir thats my emotional support mid 90's shoujo adventure manga
