another otp ask meme thingie~~ :3
this time under a read more because oooooooops i like talking about these two
If you had to change the pairing’s very first meeting, how would you change it?
i would maybe make it so they met at the bbq – they do have casual encounters before the helicopter crash, but nothing that would really signal that their relationship would end up being what it did. their first real interaction was after the crash, on alice’s first trip into the henbane.
What song fits your pairing the most?
THIS ISN’T A HAPPY SONG BUT – ‘war of hearts’ by ruelle, i think i reblogged it a few days ago? BUT HONESTLY LOOK AT THESE LYRICS IT’S 100% THEM:
I can’t help but love you / Even though I try not to / I can’t help but want you / I know that I’d die without you
Stay with me a little longer / I will wait for you / Shadows creep / And want grows stronger / Deeper than the truth
What is your favorite AU/prompt idea/trope for your pairing?
uh, happy ones? lol. a little one that i just came up with: alice needs glasses desperately. like, she had an appointment to get her eyes checked out for just a few days after the helicopter crash. sometimes, when she’s with faith in their cabin, and they are warm and safe? faith will take the book alice is trying to read, and read it to her while they’re sitting together.
(….that definitely is more of a prompt idea oops)
Do you prefer canon ideas or do you have your own headcanons for them?
yes.
Favorite canon moment of them?
like, in-game? the times faith pops up to talk to the deputy, before she gets nasty.
Least favorite canon moment of them?
The final battle – you can see how i twisted it last night oooops. No matter what, it’s not happy.
Favorite headcanon trope/idea? (Your own or someone else’s)
i am legit drawing a blank rn omg
Least favorite headcanon trope/idea?
uh. sad ones. but they’re the ones i always come up with.
also the one lucy sent that’s super super mean omg
Favorite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics?
for the main story – it’s also what makes them so difficult to write. alice is so determined to help the resistance, so determined to save hope county – but she’s also totally and completely in love with faith. faith is the same – she wants alice to join the project, to be safe with her in the new eden, but she knows that will never happen.
Least favorite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics? (Can be headcannon)
as a writer – how easily the relationship could slip into something squicky and super unhealthy. i want them to be in as healthy of a relationship as they can be, given the situation, which is why it takes so freaking long to write happy stuff for them lol.
If they aren’t a canon pairing, how would you get them together?
i hope to write this at some point? it’s pretty much the two of them talking more and more as alice explores the henbane – alice because she’s bored when she’s alone, and doesn’t think that faith is actually there, faith because, at first, she was under orders to convert the deputy, and then she realised how friendly alice is.
If you had to take them and plunk them into another fandom, what fandom would that be? Why?
maybe gta v? i can see alice getting along with michael, honestly.
How hard is it write/draw your pairing? Scale of 1-10.
1000000. I can’t draw, and I said earlier why they’re trickey to write – headcanons? sure, easy. but anything detailed, or involved their relationship developing? eeeeeeeep.
Is there a pairing that you think rivals them?
honestly like 99% of the pairings in this fandom are better lol
Which character of the pairing do you like more? (Would you ever pair yourself with them?)
DO NOT MAKE ME CHOOSE (and i would absolutely date faith if i had the chance i mean – what)
Which character of your pairing would be the one to break up with the other? Why?
alice – faith wouldn’t give up hope that she could convert her, but alice knows from the start that there’s really only two ways the relationship could go: faith stepping down, hiding with the resistance, or them fighting on opposite sides.
Are they relatable as characters or as a pairing?
okay i’m having major issues figuring out what relatable means in this context so if someone wants to let me know so i can answer
Did you once/ever dislike one/both of them?
…nope. Alice is my baby, and I’ve loved Faith since the first time I saw her (and actually noticed her lol – the first time i played the opening sequence i was too focused on joseph to actually notice any of the other seeds)
On an estimate, how many posts have you made about them?
too many. but at the same time – nowhere near enough.
What made you decide to ship them?
….It kinda just happened ooops. From the start, I knew that the two would flirt, but then suddenly.. they were together.
Favorite genre for them? (Angst, fluff, etc.)
I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE FLUFF BUT. i’m good at angst.
i mean if someone else was writing it it would 100% fluff because they are super fucking cute together i’m just a shit writer lol
