Obito's DMing, Daisuke’s murder hoboing, Junpei is the party mom, and Shinta brought snacks 🤣

Your characters are playing in a DnD campaign! Who’s DMing, who’s one second from murder hoboing, who’s having to be party mom, and who’s making sure there’s enough snacks? #WritingPrompt

Good thing the boys have the minds for it 🤭🤭

Now they get to snuggle up all warm and cozy together 🥰🥰

! Lady Shadow is a threat to the Emperor's political power that he isn't entirely aware of, but she knows how advantageous it'd be to unseat him , which is why she needs the shadow magic of our pretty dragon demons 😈
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
They get one sometimes, as a little treat 🤣🤣
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
Even though they'd think they're opposites, Lady Shadow and Emperor Akuwara aren't too different. They both represent power, authority, and influence, which are things Daisuke and Obito just don't have at their level in Imperial Intelligence

12. What could you use to represent obstacles that try to stop the main character(s) from achieving their goals and from growing into the person they could potentially be? Consider other characters, forces of nature, difficult circumstances, etc.

Duels of Blood (all vibes 😎)
Another icy wind cut right through Obito, making a shiver rattle his body down to his bones. He looked over his shoulder at Daisuke, whose steps were becoming slower and heavier the longer they tried navigating the weather. It seemed to be getting worse by the minute, and the next town was still miles away.

"How much longer?" Daisuke groaned when he caught up, barely audible over howling winds and creaking branches as a snowdrift hissed through the trees. He blew on his hands—if he was cold, his partner had to be nearly numb by now.

Obito shook the snow out of his hair, but didn't answer as he squinted into the deepening night. His heart leapt with relief when he found a black silhouette not far from where they'd huddled together. "There's a traveler's shrine up ahead. We can stay there for the night."

Obito will never admit it but even he knows that's true 🤣
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
It's good for him! Daisuke swears 🤣🤣
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
Daisuke is all organized chaos who approaches situations with the loosest of plans and makes things up as he goes along. Obito is much more meticulous and organized, but is often, uh, forced to be more adaptable. Both boys like to be well groomed, but neither can keep his hair in order 🤣

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Is your character organized and methodical, or more chaotic?

Do they prefer to plan things out carefully, or be spontaneous and improvise?

Do they keep their belongings neat and tidy, or are they a bit messy?

Yes! He's also perceived as colder, so people are less likely to try him in the first place 🤣
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
He has a Daisuke for company, so he's okay 🥰
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
😈🤣🤣 That's part of the fun of writing them! How far does this empathy go and what does it look like when they use it as a cudgel? 😈
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
They're good at drawing boundaries, so they don't get burned *too* terribly often 🥺
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
*Technically* yes! Just not very warmly 😅
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
Daisuke and Obito really do have deep empathy, and I think learning how to use it (both for good and weaponizing it 😅) is what helps them grow the most. But every tragedy and betrayal knocks them a bit further off balance 😬

11. What are some possible ways your main character(s) could grow and change over the course of the story? On the other hand, what are some ways their growth could be hindered?

Kulako has a small part in this series, but he's also the MC of another. And Daisuke’s guilt over leaving him when he ran away means he tries to avoid him for a bit.

Obito's siblings show up here and there to annoy him with their problems (and rarely help him with his) 🤣
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
Daisuke has one younger brother he basically raised. Obito has three older brothers he has strained relationships with, and two younger sisters he loves, but since he kind of HAD to wait on them, that relationship is also hard 😅

Duels of Blood (pushing my luck with the vibes here, but this is the kind of welcome Obito gets when he goes home 😅)
Obito sighed and flexed his fingers, trying to dispel the unexpected wisps of resentment that came toward him. Begrudgingly as it’d been, his father had extended the offer to stay, and they couldn’t exactly afford to decline—quite literally. Funds were short after how long they’d been on the road. They didn’t have time to pick up odd jobs around town to help them afford a different lodging situation, and he’d never hear it if Daisuke, a guest of Lord Takato Nakamura, took to the streets with even his most basic of acrobatic skills. Besides, no matter the state of their relationship, Takato would lose face if he sent one of his own children to stay at an inn rather than with the family. Unless he outright disowned Obito, he’d hear nothing but whispers behind his back for months after the boys left for the Capital again—hell, even if he did, he might not escape ridicule so easily.
 
	Essentially, the arrangement meant they were doing each other a favor. Although the transactional nature of it left a bitter taste on Obito’s tongue, he’d expected it, and chose to keep his words to himself.

	Instead, he bowed to his father. “Thank you.”
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
Pretty much! Obito actually gives Daisuke a collection of tiny bottles for travel (specifically in book 3), and passes on letters they aren't supposed to see, and Daisuke collects interesting information, maps, and books for Obito.

And then they snuggle up after menacing society all day 🥰🥰🤣
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
They're mutually obsessed I'm sorry 💀
5feetofredfury.bsky.social
Gifts are kinda given whenever, mainly between colleagues, really close friends, or spouses. They're also given at banquets and parties.

Daisuke's easy, just get him toxic plants or herbs, or time with Obito 🤣 Obito is also easy. He likes practical gifts, but Daisuke hugs are plenty 🤭

Are there gift giving occasions in your world? If so, is your character easy to buy for?

What do they like to get? (Items, experiences, other?)

Do they give good gifts to others?
