story replies

Thank you @declarations-of-drama @simcatcher @simblu for the comments, that I have tried to answer thoroughly, and to all of you who have liked and supported my story.

declarations-of-drama replied to your photo “Praecepta tua in domo tua!*” Alvar mouthed, immediately regretting...”

I really don't like Alvar with that eye monicle thing - it makes him look so creepy to me! Great scene though!

I have to confess that I don’t like it either. But the monocle, along with the top hat, the cape, the cravat, even the beard, are the things Alvar currently hides underneath -- hides his feelings, hides his doubts, hides his sadness, his traumas --, as well as being the items he needs to impersonate the role he still isn’t comfortable in -- that of Lord Phallihurst, 4th Earl of Mentoolshire.

It was also a way of differentiating the young Alvar we see in college and the grown up Alvar, more than 10 years later.

Thank you for the compliment!

declarations-of-drama replied to your photo “The boy was freezing to death.” Alvar tried to parry the physician’s...”

Is that a heart tatoo on Alvar's chest? I can picture Tobio's hand over it feeling the throb :D

That was my try and take on the blast injuries caused by the mine explosion that crippled Alvar and killed his cousin Frederic. They are actually bird tattoos, that I’ve described as “the distinctive tiny craters left on the otherwise fine, pale skin, by the mine explosion, which had also burned the tissue delineating his master’s still desirable biceps “. Simprovisation!

I bet Tobio wishes to lay his hands again on Alvar, but now that they are adults, I don’t think it’s going to happen. I might be wrong, though...

(or are you referring to his nipple? omg...)

declarations-of-drama replied to your photo “Alvar inspected the stairs. Covered with carpet, they seemed almost...”

Aww :( So sad. And I love this shot with the light shining in on such a terrible scene of death and upset :(

I might have given the impression, when Alvar says “We won’t be needing it anymore…” that Apollo Tim has just passed away... But what I meant is that there is no reason anymore to place a cloth to hide boy’s crotch, since they are indoors now... That’s what then enrages Tobio!

Light beams are always a pretty addition to the scenes, but I have to control myself otherwise I’m always trying to find an excuse to insert them...

declarations-of-drama replied to your photo “Won’t we? Really!” Tobio stamped his right foot, which made the...”

He has a kid? :O

Yes, Tobio is a widower and a father -- and I wanted to introduce this before his sex scene with Alvar, that comes in a flashback from their youth, to actually complicate things, and perhaps make the character less linear :)

declarations-of-drama replied to your post “replies to replies and sexually charged replies”

Well, that certainly cleared up a lot and educated me on a lot of things! Thanks very much for these replies, and I do look forward to delving deeper into the story of LoSss, and I am so glad that I would be shocking Alvar with my words, yes he might blush at Sly Dog! But I would look him in the eye and say "Acting all innocent, licking your hand and hitting the target? YEAH YOU KNOW!" and Alvar would blush and look away because he would agree with my name for him :D :D

But I am very fond of him already so I would never say that to his face ofc :p

Again, you made me laugh so much with this comment.

Alvar probably needs someone in his life to make him blush and lose his phlegm, especially now that he is an Earl in all his composure -- I really have to consider that and introduce such a character in the story!

declarations-of-drama replied to your photo “Boys from the congregation. Dubious looks he had probably misread,...”

And so it begins for Tobio SMH :(

I’d say it has never stopped -- sex was a rather brief interlude, a moment of losing his head that will have its consequences for the rest of his life... We’ll see more of Tobio in Chapter 3.

declarations-of-drama replied to your photo “Boys from the congregation. Dubious looks he had probably misread,...”

Also can't believe we are getting an update tonight! This is so much to read, I need to buy some crisps or something to go with my hot chocolate :D

So nice to imagine you getting all comfy to read my story! :)

declarations-of-drama replied to your photo “Little Lord, wasn’t he called, too? As Tobio looked Alvar with new...”

Oh dear, this is going to be horrible for the both of them. I can just feel it. How the mind can make you see things like that in order to taunt you and make you think you've not enjoyed something so much that it must be tainted or disfigured to make it seem all the worse. Stupid Human Brain huh!

This instance I mean. I can sense some sort of fight perhaps or upset

It’s an acute observation that you wrote above! In reference to Alvar and Tobio, though, this is just the closing of their sex scene, but not the closing of the chapter yet, and I hope to satisfactorily summarize their different reactions to what has just happened to them, perceptions that change even over the time -- but the fact is, they are still together, somehow, ten years later.

declarations-of-drama replied to your photo “Freddie. His beloved, solar cousin Frederic, who at that moment he...”

Oh my!

simcatcher replied to your photo “Freddie. His beloved, solar cousin Frederic, who at that moment he...”

He really is handsome !

Thank you both! This is one of those Sims I use as base and modify each new story I tell... Simcatcher ‘surely’ remembers Armand de Montbelle from The Last Canvas -- well, cousin Freddie is the 20th variation of Armand!

simblu replied to your photo “Freddie. His beloved, solar cousin Frederic, who at that moment he...”

I admit I don't know what a "solar " cousin is.. off to go google

I’m sorry, dear. This was a licentia poetica (poetic license in English?). Freddie is so blond, so beautiful, so tanned, so intense, so bright, so... solar, do you understand now what I meant? He is also nicknamed Phoebus, meaning shining, radiant, bright in Greek, as I have already mentioned in his first appearance.

Maybe I’ll edit this post and add his nickname, that is actually an epithet for Apollo (the god, not the character). A bit confusing still, is it?

declarations-of-drama replied to your photo “The communication between them forever forbidden. Or secret, since...”

What did the missive say I wonder? Does Freddie have the same feeling for Alvar?

Thank you for asking. I am slowly introducing this character and his vital importance in Alvar’s life, but Freddie will have his moments of taking the center of stage in this story, so we will learn more about him, and his relationship with Alvar.

simblu replied to your photo “Alvar?” Tobio whispered, trying again to wake the other from his...”

Again, so sad, the separation between them despite their physical intimacy

Sad indeed, but also quite cliche from me, isn’t it? This has been happening to people from the dawn of humanity, I’d say... Lots of sex, fleetingly satisfying, while love remains quite more rare, and often detached from sex, or sex happening without affection.

At the same time, for all I have commented in other replies, love at first sight was never a possibility between Alvar and Tobio.

declarations-of-drama replied to your photo “There was one thing more, though. Feeling confident, feeling he had...”

I can feel the tension now rising in Tobio. Get out of there Alvar, just get the hell out!!!

Anyhow, he doesn’t seem to be violent as a young man (though the war might change that in him), so Alvar has nothing to fear for now -- except, perhaps, a slap (on the face, not on his butt, or it might get things going again). A slap that comes indeed, in the form of words.

simcatcher replied to your photo “Along the perceptible dimming of light, both out and indoors, came the...”

Maybe it's just to me, but Alvar seemed much more of an evanescent young man, a dreamer, all in all, a little boy in his college years. I like the contrast with the strong, very manly version of himself all these years later. After the war and all its horrors, I wonder if there's still room for the little boy inside him ? He's quite an intriguing character :)

Thank you so very much for reading my characters so well!!!!

You’ve been doing that since The Last Canvas, and it says a lot about you as a writer and a reader and probably as a person, too.

I did want to stress this contrast between 19 yo Alvar and him at 31 yo (I guess somewhere around that age, at least), just as you have perceived it.

But of course, this is not the only development arch this character will cover.

I’d say there is no room at all for the little boy inside him at the moment. But, after some struggle at Pennington Park (Chapter 1), Alvar opened space for the ‘little boy’ (Apollo Jim) he is now carrying in his arms -- and how that will affect him is what we will see throughout the story.

While in the sex scene Alvar was referred to as ‘boy’, in the scenes of the present, Apollo Tim is ‘the boy’, so that’s another change of perspective over time.

And, of course, we still don’t know why Alvar decided to rescue the boy, though I’m sure an idea is forming in some reader’s minds...
