We have derived Caranthir liking the Dwarves (and vice versa) because apparently, Finrod succeeds in every field Caranthir fails, and at this point it's clear this derives from the in-universe writer of the Silm and his own biases. Think about it: "Dark Finwë" , a grumpy, prejudiced lordling, and "Hair Champion", most handsome, noble king, have met with the same people!! Yet the king of the first secret kingdom is everyone's friend, but the prince that trades with them regularly is not... seems sus.

Hence, Caranthir is friends with the Dwarves. (But that is just an interpretation, so you're free to think what you wish, I just have several opinions on in-universe prejudice and the almighty narrative.)

I think that 'we' might actually have been Dawn Felagund years ago. Maybe this reading existed even before that, but I doubt that-- she's been very influential in silm fandom and was long before tumblr was much of a thing. https://dawnfelagund.com/caranthir-the-slandered

I wouldn't say it's 'clear' that what amounts to Caranthir's entire documented personality derives from the bias of the in-universe narrator, though as you can see from Dawn's writing it's a reading you can argue for. There are a number of different approaches you can take to the Silm and its biases anyway. One of the few times when it's absolutely clear the text isn't telling the entire story is when it talks about the Easterlings. I've posted about this before but the recorded names are, uhh.... the ones to betray the elves are unlikely to actually have been named things like 'ugly lord' and 'ugly beard.' 'Dark Finwe' on the other hand is a documented reference to his haircolour being dark like Finwe's own; hardly a negative judgement!

I personally think Caranthir can be exactly as ill-tempered and prejudiced as the Silm paints him without becoming an unsympathetic character. If a writer cannot make a moody, deeply prejudiced man an interesting character that is a failure as a writer; there are after all enough books who manage exactly that. That is not to say choosing not to write him that way is a failure (obviously not), but it's not necessary in order to make a reader feel for him at all.

Just going by the text, I think it actually might make for a more interesting narrative to explore in fic to me. Because he does change his mind about something, and at a very specific moment; when he meets the Haladin. That is much less dramatic if he secretly been as nice and popular as Finrod, and got along with everyone all the time already. He's been raised by Fëanor, who said things like 'No other race shall oust us!' and rallied the Noldor not motivated enough by vengeance for Finwë alone by playing on their deep-seated fear of being replaced by the Secondborn. Very unlikely that had no impact. At best it has made him uninterested in humans in his area (while they're not much of a threat to ruling instead of the elves anyway). The text says they paid them no heed.

And yet! Caranthir sees how brave Haleth and her people are. He 'does her great honour.' He changes his mind and offers them lands. His tragedy to me is not that of a slandered figure, but of this deeply, deeply prejudiced person raised to distrust the motivations of human beings -- who overcomes those beliefs, offers friendship, is rejected! then extends that same trust to the Easterlings anyway... and it's those specific Easterlings, not the ones who ally with his brothers-- who betray them all. And cause the disastrous ending of the Nirnaeth. It's the 'to evil end shall all things turn that they begin well' part of the curse hitting him in the least fair way possible. Someone finally changes for the better, and the outcome is treason and destruction.

That is a very good character arc to me, actually. His aesthetics-based scorn for the Dwarves is reprehensible but strikes me as deeply Elvish, and part of his prejudices. Naugrim is too unflattering a name for them for it not to be common. His temper-- well why can't he have one? Sure there's only one recorded instance -- but that's imo because there are hardly any conversations in the Silm! Anyway I like some people with tempers well enough. Personally I think people are missing out on opiniated grouches.

Obviously the biased anti-Feanorian Pengolodh reading is a nice one, and I have enjoyed a lot of stories written based it. But it's not at all a reading that is necessary for me to read Caranthir as a flawed but sympathetic character. He can have serious faults and still, ultimately, be someone I feel for.

What I was asking though was if I overlooked any canon evidence of Caranthir being particularly, personally fond of the Dwarves; and it seems I did not. Also; there is room for Caranthir growing to like the Dwarves over centuries without an anti-Feanorian bias reading this strong, there is simply no evidence for friendship in the rather barebones narrative (I'm not interested atm because it's wildly overdone to me & I like variety).

That said, in my opinion making Caranthir the hidden, slandered Feanorian Finrod equivalent with a dash of Curufin's Dwarf affection is not as enjoyable as simply working with what little canon character is actually there. Because there is one (and it's not the greedy tax collector of some fanon depictions either imo)

1. To start with, wrt Caranthir as the anti-Finrod, I don't think it works that well. Sure sure dark/light, open/prejudiced, repressed/shouty, but different motivations, different locations, plus they meet very different peoples even if both are Edain-- besides, Caranthir's own older brothers do successfully ally with the Easterlings without betrayal, while Curufin (much more so than Finrod! no Khuzdul for Finrod!) is the Dwarves' Friend(tm). Also, a flawed Finrod already exists. That's just the regular edition. He has his own faults and (very different) tragic arc.

If Finrod never seems to have strong prejudices to overcome, and if he's not confrontational (which... look he's a diplomat. Make of that what you will. Pretty awkward there in Doriath, buddy!) he does have trouble facing his own complicity (he wanted to sail those ships despite the murders) until Sauron beats him to death with it. He leaves Valinor with the idea of ruling but he has to give up the crown. He's ambitious, he seems emotionally repressed, he's.. possibly paying the greater Dwarves to drive the Petty Dwarves out of their ancestral home to build a city? Oops. Depending on the version you go with in that case, of course; there's also ones where he's free of the blame of that one. Not of wanting to sail those ships and being uneasy with the guilt wrt wanting to do so despite their being stolen and murdered for though. No he doesn't kill; but he wants to use the result of it anyway, and to make it worse he is actually half Telerin.

There's also (to be fair, only for sure after the disaster of the Sudden Flame because that's the recorded instance) his guards killing random innocent trespassers to keep his kingdom hidden -- yes, that's right there in Silm, yes he's still King at the time. Beren has to wave that ring. People just seem to miss that he'd be killed without it somehow.

I think it's just too easy to reduce him to the golden perfect opposite of Caranthir. Yes he's described more positively; he's also just mentioned more because unlike Caranthir he rules an actual kingdom, the greatest and richest in Beleriand in fact; and does things that have a lot of very longterm effects, like helping B&L steal a Silmaril. They don't 'meet the same people' anyway -- the Haladin have a different culture from the Beorians which contributes to their reaction to Caranthir (and iirc their later fate).

Sidenote: Dawn's essay attributes the Green Elves helping the Feanorians at Amon Ereb to Caranthir's diplomatic skills; but why not to those of Amras or Amrod? This is the quote; 'Caranthir fled and joined the remnant of his people to the scattered folk of the hunters, Amrod and Amras, and they retreated and passed Ramdal in the south. Upon Amon Ereb they maintained a watch and some strength of war, and they had aid of the Green-elves' -- nothing here indicates it was Caranthir who got them that aid. In fact A&A are the hunters, i.e. more likely to have roamed in various forests where they would have encountered Green Elves, imo.

There's also the very desperate times to consider in which this aid takes place. This is just post Sudden Flame, and even if the Green Elves didn't like Caranthir they probably liked him better than Morgoth. Also, speaking of cosmopolitans, Maedhros allies with, yes, Dwarves (Azaghal), Grey elves, Easterlings (and you might say: Fingolfinians); even part of the remaining people of Dorthonion rally to Himring post sudden flame (that means Edain and Arafinwean followers in Himring, at least for a time), and he manages to be friendly with Felagund despite calling him a badger. ;)

Finrod is not the only other leader to forge diverse alliances, and though B&L ends happily his people mostly do not. Caranthir's not much like Finrod in any way. Not in motivations, temperament, tragic arc. That's fine. No hidden kingdom for a dragon to eat either. Finrod could probably do with being a little less like Finrod sometimes, though he's well-intentioned and likable. Caranthir loves to shout and isn't sneaky. Good for him.

2. Curufin also already exists. His love for Dwarves is one of his defining and redeeming characteristics and boy does he need them. He's daddy's favourite, a sneaky overambitious bitchy bastard who is also a talented smith and linguist, and truly considered a Dwarf friend, which is apparently exceptional. He's quite flawed; tries to help Celegorm force a political marriage, laughs with a bruised mouth, seeming to lose his mind while attempting and failing murder after first losing his own stronghold and then the city he tried to take from his cousin. He's just... a personality. Mostly a bad one! You can feel for him though, because he seems like an utter mess. Many 'i would love to study you' feelings on my part. Would hate for him to be real but also I'd pay to be his therapist.

3. And then finally there's Canon Caranthir. A difficult, prejudiced person who despite that (which doesn't at all have to mean there is no despite, the despite is what makes it juicy)

- seems to be responsible for re-establishing (large scale?) trade with the Dwarves, whatever he might think of them (and they of him) to their mutual benefit. I don't think he's greedy either. It seems like a mutually profitable situation. Access to Dwarvish goods seems pretty vital to Beleriand, and facilitating trade is a real service.

As someone pointed out in the replies, the Silm does mention Dwarvish companies travelling east to Nan Elmoth and menegroth various times, but quote wrt Caranthir says 'Caranthir’s people came upon the Dwarves, who after the onslaught of Morgoth and the coming of the Noldor had ceased their traffic into Beleriand' and 'when the Dwarves began again to journey into Beleriand.'

They stopped at some point and Caranthir's people made it happen again.

- which means he's practical. He seems like he's good at organising, and setting his own feelings aside if necessary despite his prejudice and temper (which is an achievement it wouldn't be without his, hm, everything). Also he and his people as well as the Dwarves work together well because ''either people loved skill and were eager to learn,' despite their (initial?) mutual dislike. Those aren't bad characteristics; seems like it was an exchange of skill as well as goods and possibly providing safe travel opportunities.

I don't like the 'greedy Caranthir' fanon and don't think it is even that easy support entirely with canon. 'They had of it great profit,' the text says-- both Caranthir and the Dwarves. They exchanged skills and knowledge and Caranthir seems to have helped them start trading in Beleriand again. That's hardly Scrooge Mcduck.

- Another thing we can say about canonthir (lol) is that he apparently attaches a lot of value to aesthetics (was he a visual artist? is a he a sculptor like Nerdanel? WORSE: AN ART CRITIC?! Feanorian art critic is truly nightmare fuel) and that's why he dislikes Dwarves (of all things...). Either way points to 'aesthetics' as something apparently important to Caranthir. Which makes sense given who his parents are. What is interesting to me is that this apparently DOESN'T matter to Curufin, who is a lot like Feanor in most things. That's interesting!

I've never, never seen this but I think it would be very funny to attribute his aesthetic prejudices to Nerdanel. I love her; but why should her opinions be perfect? I know she wasn't considered beautiful herself, but she's an artist. She's got to have had some strong opinions on aesthetics anyway. I doubt it's the beards; Mahtan had one as well. And 'stunted'...at least some of this comes down to the Elvish obsession with height yet again. Hm.

- eventually Caranthir overcomes what have to be some very deeply held beliefs about human beings and their place in the world, and offers what for all intents and purposes looks like real friendship, not the ruling over Men Feanor seems to have had in mind at best. He's capable of real change!

Anyway his character works just fine to me from canon, and what he achieves and the ways in which he fails are more interesting that way rather-- neither slandered Feanorian Finrod 2.0 nor Curufin 'Dwarf Fan' Feanorion without the sneakiness and murder attempts pack the same punch as a stupidly prejudiced grouchy man doing his best anyway for centuries in this stupid ugly cursed land, eventually changing for the better, opening up-- and being brutally punished for it by the Doom.

Dammit. I hope there's therapy in the Everlasting Darkness.

hm a bit long but that's what I get for trying to gather my thoughts wrt why after considering it a bit transferring Curufin's love for Dwarves to Caranthir is a bit boring to me personally. Though there are still stories that still do it very well.

#no one asked including me but there you go anyway #that's what you get when i wake up at nearly 3 in the morning and thnk. FUCK i can't sleep #caranthir

📒💖

Emi, I'm kissing you on the mouth right now, you're so sexy. In general but also for taking the bait.

Put “📓” or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I’ll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven’t written but daydream about.

The Constantinople AU

This AU is from 2017 and came about because I watched a TED-ED video about Constantinople's walls, relistened to the Aladdin soundtrack and because I had earlier talked with a friend about how I had not really seen people make a genie a woman. I came back years later to explain it to my friend Jonah and add new stuff and this year I showed it to @amber-isnt-a-precious-stone to add even more things. It's one of my favourite AUs for sure.

Dramatis Personae:

- Herakles Karpuzi (APH Greece) as Son of the Roman emperor and heir to the throne - Sadık Adnan (APH Turkey) as Soldier in the Ottoman army and Imposter Prince - Dilan Taş (Human OC) as Jinn and Sadık's unsuccessful wingwoman - Athanasios Karpuzi (Human OC) as the Roman emperor and serial skirtchaser - Salvatore Vento (Human OC) as Advisor to the emperor and Fuckface McBadDad - Michele Vento (APH Sicily) as Herakles' childhood friend

The Happenings™:

- It's set in Constantinople in an alternate Universe, close to ours. It’s the late High Middle Age/Early Late Middle Age (depending on how you want to periodize. I am working with how the German Middle Ages are divided, which is arguably a very bad method for classifying Byzantine. But this is my silly Hetalia AU, not my term paper). Around 1300, I’d say.

- Athansios Karpuzi is the current Roman Emperor, which makes Herakles the heir to the throne. Athanasios is desperately trying to wed his son off to any available suitors to form new alliances, but two things keep getting into the way: 1. Herakles is thoroughly uninterested in playing along with Athanasios’ plans. He’s not a chess piece on his father’s board if he's got anything to say about it. 2. Salvatore Vento is Athanasios’ closest consultant and protests any marriage for whatever reason he can find. For the sole reason that he has been eyeing the throne for himself the entire time and wants to marry his own son, Michele, to Herakles.

- Like in my Hetalia AU "Like Father Like Son", Salvatore and Athanasios trust each other as far as they can throw one another. There is no genuine trust here at all, no sympathy, really, they just stick together because they know the other is useful. Have some assorted banter as result of this:

Salvatore: "Immortal what a name! What a title to bear! Although immoral would have fit you much better." [Athanasios’ etymology is “immortal”]

S: "Maybe you wouldn't have to struggle to find a suitable bride for your son if you stopped dragging every young woman within and from outside Constantinople to bed." Athanasios: "He's into guys too, problem solved." S: "Oh, yeah, me dumbass thought you needed stop whoring around, how silly of me."

A: "If he is into anything at all. But if I have another child, they might keep this empire going." S: "No legitimation to the lineage's claim to power like a gay loner and a bastard child." A: "Ah yes, I hired the man whose wife ran away with his son so he could berate me about family life. How I value your opinion, Salvatore." S: "She didn't run away." A: "No, she just hides and sends you people until she can get her divorce. I'm very inclined to give it to her."

S: "They're childhood friends! They'd make a great couple!" A: "All I can hear is what a great emperor you'd make, ruling on my corpse."

- So. Herakles is staunchly resisting any marriage to anyone and minding his business one day, walking along the great walls of Constantinople. He stops to look out into the surrounding area and suddenly, hears a noise. Confused, he looks down and sees someone scaling the wall. Sadık looks up and sees the most beautiful man he has ever seen … spotting him trying to get into the city.

- Sadık is part of the Ottoman Turks, who’re conquering the area around Constantinople these days. He’s some nobody in the army and thought he’d give it a shot and get into the city by himself to earn some fame (and money).

- Herakles is seriously impressed Sadık managed to actually almost scale the famously impenetrable walls of the city. Not impressed enough to actually let him in. So these two banter a bit, Sadık now distracted by this hunk in front of his nose. Herakles correctly assesses that he’s a Turk and says of himself that he’s the emperor’s son. Sadık: “Hey, hot stuff, if that’s true and it’s so impressive, why don’t you let me in as a reward?” Herakles: “Yes, of course. And then I’ll open the gates for the rest of your people, so that you can just walk in and take the city. What impossible thing do you want to happen next, a kiss on the mouth?” Sadık: “What’s so impossible about that?”

- Either way, Herakles threatens to sick the guards on him, which leads to a “Oh no you wouldn’t” - Herakles grins and definitely would, so Sadık has to retreat. (#Don’tSickTheGuardsOnMyAssYou’reSoSexyAhaha).

- He goes back to camp, having gained nothing but a crush. He gets in real trouble for rummaging around the booty, where he finds an oil lamp and WOULDN’T YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. Dilan, a Jinn, pops out and Sadık uses his first wish to get out of trouble. Once that is done and the two have a moment of peace, he's thinking about what to do next and his mind circles back to Herakles.

- Dilan: "Ah yes, they always want something with love ... so who struck you and what's the problem?" Sadık: "Well ... I don't really know if it's true but he said he was the son of the emperor. He certainly looked the part! And I didn't really want to wait for him to call the guards to confirm it." Dilan: "Wait ... so you want to get with the son of the Roman emperor?" Sadık: "If that handsome little shit didn't lie to me, then yes." Dilan: "Isn't that a little out of your ballpark?" Sadık: "What, is it out of yours? Can't help me in that case, magic lady?" Dilan: "Psht, don't make me laugh! I can make the impossible happen, just tell me what you need." Sadık: "I dunno ... I guess getting inside the city?" Dilan: "That's it? That's all you need? That's less than a no-brainer -" Sadık: "Oh yeah, if it's so easy then, save that second wish for later. I got past one of the walls already once, I'll figure that out without your magic." Dilan: "Alright, alright ... and what about the wooing of your sweetheart?" Sadık: "That we'll see to once we're there ..."

- Dilan and Sadık chitchat while they make it to Constantinople. Dilan spends some time in the lamp, because walking is boring, but she does tell him that she's pretty sick of being in there. So that's where Sadık learns about her wishing to be free. Dilan in turn learns that Sadık doesn't have such a rosy life either (especially because now he can't return to the army, after he basically deserted).

- So they get to Constantinople and decide to actually factcheck if they got the right guy - and if yes, some general information about the emperor's son. Luckily enough, a friendly trader/tradesman tells them a bit about the city and the imperial family. Dilan: "So, did you by any chance ever see the emperor's son?" Trader: "Oh, well, that's an odd question, isn't it? But since you don't seem to be from here, I can understand the curiosity. Well, let me think ... You often see him only from afar ... during a triumph where he had accompanied his father during the campaign I got to see him up close. What a regal figure there at the head of the troops!" Sadık is too lost in the vision of his crush all decked out in military gear on a horse. And then taking all that gear off and being a regal figure while he fucks Sadık into the sheets … Dilan: "Yeah, yeah, yadda yadda, we need something more concrete. Height, hairstyle, haircolour, what does the dude look like?" The trader/tradesman is a little baffled but does provide a description that lines up with who Sadık saw. So with that information, they start to wonder how to woo a future emperor.

- Luckily, now that the trader/tradesman thinks they're here for imperial gossip, he actually mentions the fact that Emperor Athanasios hopes for his son to follow his footsteps and is currently looking for a suitable match, so that Herakles can be of political use even while he's still in charge. So Dilan and Sadık get an idea how to get into the city and Herakles heart. Or his pants. Milestones are still up for negotiation.

- After the grand entrance happened, where Herakles definitely took offense at either "Heard your prince was a sight lovely to see" or "Heard your prince was hot, where is he?" because either question was accompanied by Sadık's flirty looks, Athanasios actually lets Sadık and Dilan into the palace. There he and Salvatore discuss the entire thing, aka if whoever Sadık pretends to be is a good match.

- While they talk political stuff and snark, because of course Salvatore is against it, Sadık continues to feel very smug in his new princely identity and makes flirty eyes at Herakles. Herakles is just like "ugh" and much more happily plays with his cats. Which tbh sounds like they're 16 or something, but they're not that much younger than in canon (I think they'd be 22 and 24 here).

- Hijinks ensue. Herakles tells his dad that he’s a Turkish soldier that tried to sneak into the city and Athanasios doesn’t believe him, thinking Herakles is now lying badly to not get married. Dilan and Sadık are developing a friendship that is best described as hoes being bros.

- Dilan: "Look, you like cats. Cats are furry. Hairy, if you will. You know who else is hairy? Sadık. He's juuust as hairy as a cat - shhhht, I'm wingmanning for you and it's working great, you can thank me later."

- At first, Dilan mostly employs her magic for some silly little things with Sadık to woo Herakles. It doesn't work very well. Herakles: "I know it's magic, that's not impressing me - Okay, it is kinda cool, but you're still a dick." Dilan: "But a dick with a cool sidekick, come ON! What else do you want me to do to make the nerd viable?!" Sadık: "You call that wingmanning?!"

- Once Dilan realizes dickbags Athanasios and Salvatore are, she also uses little magic tricks to continously make their lives worse. Ironically, this may be what finally endears her and Sadık to Herakles. (If you haven't noticed, he doesn't like his father very much and Athanasios doesn't care for him aside from being a political pawn).

- At one point, Michele shows up at court! Herakles is overjoyed to see his childhood friend, which he hadn’t seen in years! Sadık is absolutely not, because it looks like just when he and Herakles almost had something, this twat shows up and steals the show!

- Dilan: "Well, I can't make him not love this dude, but I could beat the dude up." Sadık: " ... keep that in mind."

- However, when Dilan goes to investigate what Michele is doing here (and wingwomanning again), this ensues: Dilan: "Hey brah, what's up, why so blue looking? Is it because your boo just told you you ain't his number one anymore?" Michele: "I, eh ... no ... May I ask who you are?" Dilan: "Just one of the servants of the insanely charming and powerful - and hairy - Prince who's here to marry the Prince. Yep, he's sooo gonna marry that guy." Dilan: "There was a whole musical number about it, you should have seen it, I was on top of my game." Michele: "Sure heard about it, you stirred up trouble here. Hope it helps ... I'm not saying that Herakles should marry someone his dad set in front of him, but it'd be nice if he found someone at last. He told me he was very lonely the last years ... I don't want to leave him behind just as lonely again." Dilan: "Yeah, it'd be - Leave him behind?"

- Dilan: "Good news! His loverboy is not here to stay! He wants to go to the west, he's just here because of his terrible dad!" Sadık: "Oh, that's good! Wait ... isn't his father that asshole of an advisor?" Dilan: "Yeah. Why." Sadık: "The guy who wanted to marry his son to Herakles since apparently forever?" Dilan: "Yeah, but his son is not going to marry him." Sadık: "I smell a trap 10 miles against the wind."

- There is no trap however. Herakles realizes that the crush on Michele is nothing but a childhood crush and has to be left in the past … and that he wants to move forward with Sadık. When he wants a conversation one-on-one, Dilan wants to make it a one-on-two, but Herakles asks her if she doesn’t want to keep Michele company in the gardens, it’s not gonna take long, an hour or two at most. Then she can also fetch Michele when they’re done, so that Herakles can say goodbye before he leaves for Sicily.

- Dilan thinks about it, finds it’s not a trap (and if it was, nothing she and her fists couldn’t solve) and goes in the garden. There she talks with Michele and makes the mistake to either show off her magic powers, tell Michele of TurGre’s meetugly (#Don’tSickTheGuardsOnMyAssYou’reSoSexyAhaha) or to be like: “Hey, do you wanna know a cool secret? Sadık isn’t a Prince, all of this is my doing. Pretty cool, eh?”

- Unfortunately, they’re not alone. Salvatore was searching for Michele in the gardens, to get his “fucking rotten brat of a son” to play along after all instead of disappearing once again. So he overhears this. Salvatore: "Oh, so Prince Sadık is not a Prince? That's a funny joke indeed and I'll laugh my ass off the hardest in the end."

- So just when Herakles and Sadık had time to talk about their feelings and confess and, also, you know, make out and fumble for good measure, they get interrupted. Literally when Herakles was finally stripped down to his tunic and Sadık slid his hand underneath it.

- Athanasios: "This is gonna be the last wall you breached, you little rat." Herakles: "Dad! Stop it!" Athanasios: "This man nearly ruined our dynasty. Arrest him." Salvatore: "Arrest the man indeed. Go and get the ex-emperor." Athanasios: "Ex-Prince. It's not the right time for your snark." Salvatore: "I'm not talking about that small fish. Guards - arrest this careless idiot who nearly ruined our city by letting a scammer into its walls! Clearly the emperor's been in on this and can't be trusted!" Athanasios: "You've lost your mind." Salvatore: "You've lost yours and it's actually the thing you'll miss the least when syphilis is going to eat away the last of your rotten brain in the dungeons. So get him! And that ottoman faker, too, just get the trash out of here."

- The scene ends rather dramatically, because I love the thought of Michele and Dilan rushing to their help, but they get held back. Dilan maybe gets restrained by some anti-magic stuff. And Dilan begs Sadık to use his last wish to help him. To solve this problem. But Sadık refuses, because he promised to use it to set her free. So Dilan is just livid and upset, distraught, yelling at him to let her do something while he gets taken to the dungeons.

- So now Salvatore’s in charge and setting his plans into motion. PR is of course the first thing that needs to be done, so there’s a speech to Constantinople’s masses: "But, as you know, I respect and regard the royal family, the entire dynasty, more than any of you! So I am not going to assume power, it'd be a crime against God himself who granted us this emperor, if I had removed him for anything but his unstable condition and his tragic mistake of almost letting his lineage being tainted! Not to mention that this would have been the end of our beloved empire, our city, suddenly overrun and ruled by those barbarians! No, of course I'll give my power to the true heir who was merely a victim to his father's incompetence. To prove I really mean it, I'm even going to give up my son to the Prince, to forever bind my loyality to the throne!"

- Michele: "I hold no more respect for you as father as I did when we left. I'm not going to play along your perverted plan." Salvatore: "Well Michele, if you don't respect me as father, then maybe you'll respect me as the Roman Emperor!"

- Meanwhile, in the dungeons, Athanasios and Sadık have some great chitchat. Sadık: "Guess that's some quality father and son in law bonding time, eh?” S:“Though I'm pretty sure your son would rather call me daddy than you." A: "Once this entire drama is over, I'll have you decapitated. Or just kick you back to your people and let them handle this." S: "Ah, but when I came here as a fake prince, your arms and gates were wide open. Should've listened to your son when he told you so."

- Here’s also some Salvatore content: Athanasios: "And now you strut around in my clothes. I'm surprised they even fit you fatass!" Salvatore: "Oh, the entire imprisonment is really getting to you, ain't it, emperor tightlips? Ah, I meant - ex-emperor tight lips. Now you've sunk low enough to insult me with such details. Is it because you have nothing else left now that you're off your high horse?" Salvatore: "I thought so. At least you're enough of a sound mind to not threaten me with 'once I get out of here' hot air. Because we both know you're not getting out of here in a lifetime anymore. And yes, I’m wearing your rags, since I’ve got no time to waste.” Salvatore to Sadık: "Actually, it's sad that you aren't going to be there to watch it. Although, I think a public execution would just spice the entire wedding festivities up, if I think about it."

- Ah yes. The wedding. Herakles: "You look great today, my love. Like a polished jewel." Michele: "Thanks. I'd never seen a man more handsome than you though. Truly, a prince with all his qualities seen right away." Both: -sigh- Ft. Dilan, who’s just watching the kids sadly and is trying to reassure them she got this, she’s gonna find a way, it’ll be fine!!!

- Herakles and Michele wonder why Sadık didn't use that wish. To which Dilan replies he said he'd free her with it, but she didn't believe he'd actually uphold that promise. And he shouldn't have because now she's useless and he's in trouble. (And Hera only falls more in love with Sadık, because being a good person is HELLA swoony.)

- Dilan also tries to cheer them up and I believe she can still do small magic tricks, she just can't get out of whatever shackles/confinement she is in. So when she isn't despairing or raging, she tries to cheer Herakles and Michele up with some silly little tricks. She shapeshifts into their fathers to make fun of them. Which leads them to an idea ...

- I have no idea what it is though. I only know that the grand final and resolution involves shapeshifting. If anyone who's better at plots wants to give me ideas, please do.

- However they manage to stop Salvatore's machinations, this is what follows: Salvatore gets thrown into the dungeons. Herakles decides to not let his father out and instead take the crown himself. He becomes emperor and marries Sadık. Sadık uses his last wish to set Dilan free. Michele goes to travel to Sicily, promising he’ll write letters to them and come visit some day (Dilan promises the same).

- The end of Salvatore and Athanasios rotting in jail together is SO satisfying to me, bc now that they are useless to each other, there is nothing left to do but be a pain in each other’s ass. They hate each other and they DESERVE EACH OTHER.

Sequel Bait:

- Before we get to the sequel bait, let me give you some prequel bait for a change. Here's a little "what if one of the many suitable matches for Herakles had been one of the Beilschmidt brothers" scenario. Plus free medieval history lesson:

- Now for the actual sequel: Three years come and go. Herakles and Sadık settle in their new rules as emperor and ... emperor's husband. (I don't know if Byzantine empresses were "put into office" in the same way the Emperor was. If someone is more knowledgeable about this than me, correct me).

- Their marriage is going swell, however both struggle in their new official roles. Herakles faces all the administrative problems and tough decisionmaking that comes with being a ruler, while Sadık struggles to be accepted by the people of Constantinople. Where Herakles tends to take care of the court, Sadık tries his hand at being a military leader.

- One morning, Sadık wakes up with Herakles in the room. Which should not be surprising, if it wasn't for the fact that Herakles had left the city yesterday. He's oddly nonchalant about it when Sadık asks him and also ... weirdly chipper? Eager? Kitschy in his flirting? He's at first flattered, but soon very confused by everything and wonders if either he hit his head real hard in his sleep or if Herakles fell off his horse when he tried to make it out of the city.

- Turns out none of it, because after some more eyelash fluttering, his "husband" goes POOF! and turns out to be Dilan, who's on the floor laughing. "You should have seen your stupid face! Really! Wait, I'll show you!"

- After Dilan is done shapeshifting into Sadık, absolutely overacting his reaction and argueing with him about it, they finally get to catch up. Turns out that Dilan was bored by travelling around the world and wanted to check in on her old buddy.

- She couldn't have chosen a more opportune time to do so. Once Herakles returns, he ... at first has a weird reunion with his husband. Sadık is kind of wary around him and starts to list his attitude and general personality traits/ticks as proof for ... something. Takes a while for Herakles to get the news that Dilan is back, too.

- Herakles is very relieved to hear that! He wanted to confide something in Sadık, because after he had returned to the city, someone had taken him aside. Natasa Simonides, an old and trusted courtly advisor, needed help. Recently, her husband Ibrahim disappeared and she's worried.

- Natasa also told Herakles a secret: Ibrahim is a Jinn, which is why his disappearance worries her even more. Herakles informs Sadık and asks Dilan if she knows anything, but she sadly hasn't heard anything either. - Before she can zip off and see if she can find Ibrahim, Herakles asks another favour of her - to educate Natasa's twins, Timothea Farah and Omar Veniam instead. Natasa thinks they may be able to find their father, but they don't know they're half-Jinn, so they'd need some guidance. Dilan happily agrees to be their teacher!

- My only more in-depth infos on Jinn and their children with humans comes from this Monstrum video by PBS Storied. I don't think Thea & Omar would need to be taught by anyone to be seers and how to be in communication with non-human spheres, but it makes for a better story.

- So Dilan is off to teach the kids while Sadık volunteers to go and search for Ibrahim. Herakles resumes his imperial role in the city.

- It's not really fun and as the people become more and more agitated with the status quo, more and more people "remember" that the old emperor is still around. Enough people are going "What's that kid knowing anyways?! All those highfangled ideas and useless reforms, for what?" that a select few decide to stage a coup by releasing Athanasios from the dungeons.

- Now, I still haven't decided if Salvatore also gets let out. The problem is that I really would begrudge him his freedom ... but I also begrudge Athanasios his freedom! It doesn't feel fair that one bastard gets to walk free and the other doesn't!

- Out in the field, Sadık isn't having much more luck. No Jinn in sight and the trouble he has with a few of the men that accompany him keeps him thinking about the acceptance problems again. He really wishes at one point that Herakles wasn't emperor at all. You can imagine how terrible he feels for these thoughts when news of the coup catches up to them. Be careful what you wish for and all that jazz. On top of that, he gets into trouble as well - betrayed by some of the men he had taken along. He gets stuck in some place like a cave or an abandoned house he was investigating ...

- Sadık finds a large sealed bottle and thinks 'Well, what's the worst that could happen?' He is greeted by a GIANT cloud of smoke instead of anything edible/drinkable. By the time the cloud is human-shaped, he already has a giant grin on his face. Sadık: "Hah! I have a sixth sense for this kind of stuff!" Jinn: "Greetings, mor-" Sadık: "Yeah, yeah, quick question, is your name Ibrahim? Or do you know one of your kind called Ibrahim who's been passing through recently?" Jinn: "My name is Ibrahim - " Sadık: "Great! You know a Greek lady called Natasa? I take that look as a yes. Okay, so first wish is to get us out of here, second wish we'll see, third is like freeing you from the whole servitude bit - You do the three wishes thing, right? Anyways, your wife and kids are wishing for dad to come home, so get us out of here, you'll get explanations on the way back."

- In the meantime, Dilan and her protégés, along with Natasa and Herakles, have been trying to figure out how to solve the problem at court. It doesn't help that the news of Sadık's troubles also reached them (I know the speed of spreading information may be historically hella inaccurate, but I need it for the drama). So Dilan is torn between helping her best bud and helping the rest at court. The Greeks cook up a plan and assure her that she should go and help Sadık, they've got this.

- The plan is to get Athanasios to do something incredibly stupid that would immediately turn the people against him. They exploit the fact that Athanasios likes to listen to words that fall from pretty lady's mouths. So Timothea flatters her eyelashes and promises to tell him something of a vision she had ... that the divine has something to tell him through her. (Don't worry for her, she may have to endure his fingers under her chin, which is infuriating and nauseous enough, but no more skin contact than this). Thea gets backed by her brother to lend it more credibility once Athanasios considers with his head and not his dick.

- And we can all appreciate that Dilan has been sent away, otherwise the scene would have been like this: Thea: "The spirits are talking to me about you ... " Dilan: "Mhm, mhm, indeed, I can hear them to. They're saying that you're a bitch!"

- Dilan in the meantime reaches Sadık, Ibrahim and those of his troop that haven't betrayed and abandoned him as soon as they heard of the coup. A little happy reunion before she immediately fills them in on what's happening.

- They come up with a plan themselves to finally get rid of Athanasios and the Simonides and Herakles have begun to sweat a little back home, because Athanasios mistake of listening to the twins' advice has bought them time, but not really solved the problem yet. Which is when Dilan and Ibrahim sweep in, concocting an illusion powerful enough to wrap up everyone in Constantinople and make Athanasios seem like the literal devil. Some mass-hallucination miracle bullshit, truly, to assert that he doesn't deserve the throne.

- Maybe for good measure, Athanasios disappears after the illusion is over. Dilan and Ibrahim have no idea where he went, they say with a smile.

- Another grand finale! The four lovers are reunited, Thea and Omar are overjoyed to have their dad back and he is overjoyed to have his kids back. When Dilan tells the Simonides twins that they did a great job, she's a good teacher after all haha!, Ibrahim and Natasa invite her to stay. Dilan says that they don't need her, surely, now that Ibrahim can teach them, but Ibrahim says he could use some help. Herakles also encourages her, saying that he'd love to have her at court - and Sadık also bullies her into staying. "What do you wanna do, see the world again? Didn't do much for your peanut brain the first time around, maybe hit the books together with Hera so that you'll be a passable teacher some day."

- Dilan and Omar also have evolved a crush on one another during this entire mess. That's what I'll leave you with - all well that ends well.

Also hey you! Thanks for reading all of this! Here's a little bonus content if you made it this far!

A wonderful fanart of Michele and Salvatore by my beloved friend C0FFINATED over on twitter!

Here's an amazing commission of the Greeks and Turks by @captkirkland ! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to repost the pictures myself on tumblr & you shoud reblog it from him anyways. Show him and his amazing art some love! From left to right it's Timothea, Herakles, Omar, then Dilan, Sadık and Havva (who's not featured in this AU, rip. Things would have worked to well with their brainpower).

Thanks for reading this! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Strangers to Lovers ~ Na Jaemin

a/n: What even is a platonic friendship????? Also, sorry for the long wait:/ School has been kicking my ass lately</3

genre: fluff<3, maybe a teeny bit suggestive if you squint real hard, gender-neutral reader<3

warnings: none

Word count: 1,8k

“try using this formula instead, and remember to use the change in weight, not the remaining weight after the reaction”

you quietly sighed as you sat back in your chair, silently remidning yourself that you were getting paid for tutoring, and that you needed that money.

it wasn’t that you didn’t like the girl you were helping, areum, she just didn’t understand a lot of physics, and that kinda made it hard to help her with her homework. You silently watched as she ereased her answer and started working on the problem again.

As an astronomy major you were pretty good at physics, so when you got the opportunity to get payed for helping with high-school physics, you naturally took it. It wasn’t as if your broke ass could afford to do decline either though (and the fact that she had a cute older brother was a huge bonus).

The infamous Na Jaemin.

Although you had seen him on campus a couple of times, you didn’t know him that well. He was a musical-production major with a love for changing his haircolour, his current one being a lovely shade of pink. Whenever you’d spot him he’d always be sorrounded by friends, and more often than not the centre of attention.

You softly shook your head, bringing your attention back to the poor girl beside you struggling to get the right answer. Standing up, your eyes were drawn to the entrance of the livingroom as the sound of someone running down the stairs resonated through the house. It wasn’t long before a mop of pink hair came into view. Said boy gave you a blinding smile as he entered the livingroom, breathing somewhat heavily.

“hey, y/n! you’re looking amazing today”

You felt your heart speed up at the compliment, quickly looking away so he wouldn’t catch the blush that dusted your cheeks. To say that you didn’t have a tiny crush on the boy would definitely be a lie.

“thanks man, you don’t look too bad yourself!”

You cleared your voice, casually brushing the comment off, hoping to get his attention away from you before he’d notice your flustered state. You should have gotten used to the random compliments and borderline flirty remarks by now, but you still got flustered as ever whenever he’d adress you.

Of course, it was flattering, but you knew better than to think that there was any meaning behind his words. His reputation as a heartthrob preceded him, and you knew not to read to much into his actions.

turning your attention back to areum, you heard him huff before mumbling something about you just ignoring him. You snorted at his whining and he sent you a playful glare before moving to hover over you.

“what’cha studying?”

His hand settled on your shoulder, fingers drawing invisible circles on the fabric of your sewater, making you shudder.

“physics, now leave us alone, jaem, let your sister focus”

You shrugged him off, leaning over to check if she was using the formula correctly

“you guys are no fun at all,” you heard him mumble before walking off towards the livingroom.

You looked over at Areum, who rolled her eyes at her brother’s antics. It wasn’t unusual that Jaemin joined in on your lessons. Mostly to distract you or just generally annoy his sister. But in all honesty, you didn’t really mind at all. It was a lot more fun having him around to distract you when Areum was working.

Time flew by as you worked your way through some more questions, and you were pleased to see that she started to get a hang of it. Looking at the time you realised that you’d been studying for almost three hours.

“Hm, it’s getting pretty late. I think we should finish now!”

You stifled a yawn as you stood up, stretching your muscles that had become sore after sitting still for so long.

“great work today though, Areum! You’re really getting the hang of this!”

the younger girl beamed at your compliment as you started to pack up your stuff, quickly finishing the last question.

“I’ll be going now!”

As you made your way to the door you heard a faint grunt coming from the boy draped over the couch. You stifled a laugh as you slipped on your shoes before heading home.

---

The rest of the week went by fairly quickly. The semester had just started, so you didn’t really have a lot of assignments yet, nor did your friends have much to do, thus you found yourself at the Na residence again.

You hadn’t really spoken that much to Mrs. Na, as she was usually working when you were over, but she always told you to feel like home and to make sure to eat something when you helping Areum out.

That’s how you found yourself in the kitchen. You had been studying for a while, so you figured that some snacks and a break would be good for the both of you. Even though she was really sweet, you could tell that areum was starting to get bored. Since mrs. Na had given you permission to take food if you were hungry, you were comfortable with looking around in the cabinets for for stuff to eat.

Your back straightened at the sound of someone entering the kitchen. It didn’t take long before you were back to focusing on cutting up the watermelon you’d found, but since the other person didn’t bother to say anyting.

You felt the presence move behind you before a hand found the hem of your t-shirt, lightly tugging at the material.

“hold on a moment, areum”

You gently pulled away from the grasp, once again focusing on the food you were preparing.

“I, uh, can I talk to you for a second?”

The voice that spoke up made you startle, as it was a lot darker than you expected, and did definetly NOT belong to Areum.

Turning around you were faced with jaemin. His hair was slightly tousled, proabably from him running his hands through it, and his usually playful demeanor had turned serious.

“sure jaem, what’s up?”

A soft blush creeped up his neck and his eyes found the floor, suddenly finding the stone-tiles more interesting than you. You looked at him expectedly, unsure of what he wanted to say to you. You had rarely seen Jaemin this flustered, so your interest was definitely piqued.

Instead of speaking up, his hand found yours, wordlessly dragging you out of the kitchen, ignoring your many protests. Your mind was a jumbled mess as he dragged you down the hallway, towards his room. You’d never seen him this serious before, and honestly, it kinda stressed you that he still hadn’t said anything to you.

As you entered his room, he made sure to close the door, effectively giving you some privacy away from his younger sister. Still holding your arm, he spun you around and stalked towards you, making you move backwards until your back was pressed up against his bedroom-wall. One of his arms found its way to the wall by your head, whilst the other rested my you hip, effectively keeping you in place.

As you stood there, avoiding his intense gaze, you couldn’t help but notice how close he was. His body pressed up against yours, noses almost touching.

“what are you doing?” Your voice was merely a whisper as you spoke up.

You felt his chest press into yours as he took a deep breath.

“I’ll get straight to the point then.” You felt his eyes scan over your face.

“what am I doing wrong?”

“huh?”

The question caught you off-guard, and he clearly noticed, exhaling roughly. His breath was still hot when it hit your neck, making you shiver.

“I’m really sorry jaem, but I’m not sure what you’re talking about..”

Your voice was soft as you spoke up, still not looking him in the eyes

“what can I do to make you like me back?”

It felt like all the air was punched out of you

“wh- what?”

his head dipped down so he could meet your eyes with his own.

“I really like you, y/n, and I’ve really tried to make you realize that. Like I’ve tried everything! It’s just so frustrating that you keep treating me like a friend... Why won’t you like me back?” His voice became smaller as he spoke, confidence rapidly sinking.

You raised your head, eyes finding his. All you could do was stare at his beautiful features, wondering if this was a dream. His eyes desperately searched your shocked face, trying to get a hint as to what you were thinking.

“you.. you like me?”

He softly nodded, making some of his hair fall in front of his eyes, blocking his view.

You took a deep breath, trying to gain control over your racing thoughts. Hesitantly you moved your hand up, brushing the stray hair away from his face. Jaemin closed his eyes, leaning into your hand and reveling in the feeling of your touch. His hands moved from the wall, settling on your hips as he let his head fall to rest on your shoulder. Every breath fanning your neck and making you shiver.

“I- I do... I like you a lot”

Your hands found their way to his hair, carefully carding through his pink locks. You felt him shiver, and a low hum resonated through your body.

“please say something?”

You sighed, resting your hands on his shoulders

“honestly, I like you a lot as well”

He perked up at your words, a smile slowly spreading across his features.

“really..? You like me back?”

You couldn’t help but let out a soft giggle at the sheer incredulousness in his voice.

“Yeah, jaem, I actually have for a while”

His smile turned cocky at your words.

“A while huh?”

“Oh shut up!”

You threw your head forward, actively burying it in his shoulder to avoid the embarrassment of facing him.

“No, nooo! y/n, love! Don’t hide, I’m sorry for making you flustered!”

Even though you couldn’t see his face, you could still hear the amusement in his voice, making you want to hide further away.

“No, you’re not,” you whined, puting.

“Yeah, you’re right, I’m not”

You felt him laugh before a pair of hands came up to cup your face, moving you back so you could see his face. The softness and adoration in his eyes as he looked at you almost made you want to cry.

“Would you give me the honour of taking you on a date?”

“Sure, jaem, I’d love that”

Hello! Thank you very much for taking the time to write out a match up request!

It's my first time, so I hope you will like it!

When I read your ask, I was really torn between Oikawa and Atsumu, but at the end, I decided, that our beloved Inarizaki Setter was the better match for you!

Atsumu was just drawn in by your aura! When he first spotted you at the Mensa for the first time, your interesting haircolour stood out to him first! Dying part of your brown hair white? That's quite unique. And the more he looked at you, the more your bubbly and expressive nature took him in.

After that, it felt like he saw you everywhere, even if you weren't in the same class.

The campus? You would be sitting there with friends.

On his way home? He would spot you in the conbini near the school ground.

It took him quite a while and some conviction from his brother to realize that he may had a crush on you.

And after that realization, it went on pretty fast.

He got your number through a mutual school friend and invited you to Boba and a movie. After that, you two just went with the flow and kept on meeting. Usually for a shopping spree or a late evening walk.

You were the first one to confess, but both of you were pretty open about your feelings anyway. Whoever saw you, would just feel the sparks between you. You would look out for whatever reason to briefly touch each other. Like hugging each other whenever you meet, or getting into harmless fights. When you were together, everything was funny. And everything was also a competition. Who could blow a Boba out of the straw the furthest away or who could run to the train station the fastest. To no ones suprise, Atsumu would always win.

Wherever you both were, it would never be boring.

He adores your open personality and your cuddly nature. It's quite rare to find someone who isn't afraid to told hands in public or to tell him "I love you" in front of other people. But that is exactly what Atsumu needs. The confirmation that you need and want him.

Whenever he is down, you can cheer him up, but at the same time, you can kick his ass and get him down to earth, when he looses the ground and gets on an ego trip.

Sorry, it's too early for me to properly go through the list and choose, but all of L for anyone you'd like.

This took me so long, I’m sorry.

I’m going to split my answer into three separate posts. Here’s how I wanted to do it: Since I got to choose the sim and I really liked the questions, I thought I’d answer them for Tyler and Ross, who are THE sims of their respective games for me - as in, when I think of TS3, I think of Tyler and when I think of TS4, I immediately think of Ross.

But I rambled too much and the whole thing has like four pages on Google Docs. No one’s gonna read that if I put it as one post! So part one, which is this ask, will be the questions 5-8, because those seem like general questions and I thought about all my OCs for them. The boys will get their separate posts sooner or later.

Well, sorry for that long intro, I just needed to explain! I’ll pair this with a bunch of pictures (some new ones 👀, some old ones) so it’s less boring.

Also, it’s under the cut because I talk a lot.

5. Which OC do you think is the most decent morally or behaviorally? AKA, which is supposed to a “good guy”?

I immediately thought of three. Dawn is a really good person, there's not much more I can say about her. Just a good caring person that wants the best for you.

Zoey is a sweetheart. She hates injustice, which she has in common with Bianca, but they both approach it differently. Not to mention that Bianca is not morally as good as Zoey, at one point she's even quite violent, rude and all in all very negative (I mean, who can blame her under those circumstances, but still). Zoey calls out bad behaviors of her siblings and friends sometimes, hates gossip or judging people when you don't know them, changes one person's lonely life for the better…(I'm trying to be as vague as possible, in case I really do tell this story one day, which is unlikely but hey 😂) Her only major moral slip up is what gets her into THE trouble, but otherwise she's good. The best among her siblings for sure.

(Well I’m not sure if we can really call her slip up moral, but hey she broke some serious rules so...I guess?)

Wow that’s a blast from the past for sure

And lastly, Miracle. I say a lot of shit about her storyline and really, at this point it seems to me like a bad teenage movie (featuring a mean beautiful white girl whose only personality trait is being mean) mixed with a classic fairytale where the girl can only be happy when she gets her prince. And I underlined it all with a confused message of "love that you're different but still, hide those differences if you want to fit in"...that doesn't sit right with me anymore. It was born out of my own insecurities and wanting to fit in and not stand out or draw attention to myself, but still. However. All that doesn't change that Miracle really is a good bean who just wants to paint and be accepted and loved.

6. Which OC do you think is the worst morally or behaviorally? AKA, which is supposed to be a “bad guy”?

You guys remember Fred aka the mustache guy? I hated his manipulative selfish ass so much. He cheated on his wife with his childhood best friend, convinced her that it's okay if they do that because his marriage isn’t happy anyway (maybe I’m making the unhappy marriage up now, but maybe he actually said that, it’s been a while), got her pregnant and then didn't want to take any responsibility? Fuck that guy.

I also have to mention Marika, Sunset's mother, another manipulative person. She's the reason why Ross broke things off with Jordan, she made him feel unsure about that marriage (which, I must say even though I love Raleb with all my heart and I'm glad things turned out like that, would've been a good relationship). Then she disappeared for months, only to then leave Sunset literally at his doorstep with no intention of being involved in her life?? I've said this before, Ross has done a lot of bullshit but this is pure evil, she could've told him something and they could've worked it out together, but no, she only wanted to cause a problem. She never really cared about him or about the child. Annnd I'm getting carried away 😂

7. Which OC do you think is the most attractive?

I've always been in love with Sharon, I think she's so pretty. Then again I might be biased because I want her haircolour so badly 😂 Regan is another pretty one. And Miracle, she's a cutie. And my gen 3 bpr heir is *chef's kiss*. 😂 In my sims 4 saves, I think both Sunset and Dawn are really pretty. There's something about Claudia too. And December.

...basically the point is, I have very gay feelings for my female sims. Don't get me wrong, I think I have a few good looking guys as well, but they can't compare to the ladies. My best looking guy? I don’t know, you tell me that. But I didn’t have to fix almost anything about Ross when he was born in the game so there’s that.

8. What’s the longest you’ve had an OC for?

My oldest, still relevant (to me) OC is actually not a sim. She's the protagonist of my story, her name is *checks notes because we've gone through some changes* Wyntra and she's kinda badass, ngl.

Oh yeah and I’ve had her best friend Matyáš for equally long time I guess. They were supposed to end up together, but now that I’ve re-planned the storyline a little, I’m getting strong aroace vibes from Wyntra, so we’re going with that. They’re still super close though.

But actually, hold on, my Winx OC Clarissa might be older, I had her first version in the spring of 2014 and she's still kicking. You can see her on my Instagram and yesterday I posted a picture of her sim version. She’s the redhead.

Out of my sims characters who are old but still somewhat relevant (to me at least) are the triplets - born in October 2016 and still going strong and currently existing in all three OC groups that I have (sims, my original story, and now also that AU in which I'm way more invested than I should be).

Now *this* is a blast from the past.

Thank you for the ask! ♥ I’ll be bringing the rest soon.

#ts3 #ts4 #sims 3 #sims 4 #rose legacy extra #breeze nsb legacy extra #fataleromeo #these are exactly the questions i love #so thank you so much #oh and would you look at that #i have almost exactly 24 hours to finish my history paper #i hate working on it but it's given me much to think about #and personally i learned a lot of interesting things #i just hate putting it to words and making citations and all that formal crap

Evolution of an OC

Here I am to show how one of my favourite OCs has grown and developed over time. Of course, it’s Dijana.

A little background, typically when I play games, I have character archetypes that I recreate until I end up developing a story for them, and then I leave them in that media. So the ‘original’ Dijana, was my character archetype of ‘dark, evil magic user’. The name ‘Dijana’ means heavenly, divine, so it was meant to be ironic. She was never an evil character, just used dark or forbidden types of magic.

So lets begin.

Final Fantasy XI

There wasnt really customisation in this game. You had a few preset faces, each with 2 different haircolours. This was the one I chose. I don’t have a screenshot from that, but lets just say, that specific face looked terrible in game. Hurhur

Dijana was originally a hume. Going with the forbidden magic theme, she was a summoner. I eventually learnt about dat editing, so swapped her out for a shorter, pink haired model.

I had/have a developed storyline for this characer, and she still exists even though I’m not actively playing FFXI anymore. I eventually changed from Summoner main, to Dancer main. Here’s poopy old chibi sketches from 15 years ago.

FINAL FANTASY XIV

FFXIV 1.0 essentially recreated all the races and faces from FFXI...except for that one over the shoulder hairstyle for hume/hyur. So I went with the short haired style. There was no summoner or dancer back then, so I started as marauder in the alpha and beta tests (yes I’ve been playing that long). After the wipe and leading into official launch, I went archer instead.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN

Still the same looking hyur that she’s been forever. I was excited for SMN release, but it didn’t match Dijana’s established history going all the way back to XI. I instead leveled as SCH, but went back to BRD.

During this time, Dijana’s story just...didn’t really convert well from XI to XIV. I RP’d a bit with her, she married a miqo’te man (no not G’raha), and eventually decided to finally try some new hairs and looks. She was still always pink haired white girl though.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: HEAVENSWARD

Ahh Heavensward. I wasn’t really into the idea of playing a lizard girl, but I didn’t like midlander’s princess run. I was very interested in Au Ra’s lore though, so as soon as the first expansion launched, I bit the bullet and race changed.

I essentially just tried to duplicate her look as an au ra, but I alternated between raen and xaela a whole lot. I could never decide which I liked more- lore wise it was xaela, but aesthetics (for the more vibrant tones) it was raen.

I started to gradually sort out her story a bit more, and decided IC she was mixed- raen mother and xaela father. I bought so many fantasias back then changing back and forth, and gradually making her skin darker each time. Also decided I didnt like the fish horns.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: STORMBLOOD

This is when I finally decided to sort out her character story and settled on staying as a xaela. Going into SB, I knew we’d be going to the Azim Steppe, so I went through the xaela tribes info to decide which tribe she was initially born to. I decided on Oronir as the most suitable, and so when I finally made it to the Steppe, I wanted to find a xaela man who most resembled Dijana, even if it was an unnamed npc, and make that her long lost father. Who did I find? Freaking Magnai. Obviously he is too young to be her father...and uh...cant seem to find a woman anyway, so he is her half brother.

I stopped doing any RP on Dijana during this time. To cut a long story short, my rp partner and Dijana’s husband decided he was going to rp out an ‘alternate’ timeline with another friend of his, after we agreed no romance RP with others on our mains, and made a far more detailed storyline than we had in years. Lets just say my feelings were pretty hurt, so I decided that Dijana’s storyline would not involve other player characters, only NPCs.

And because I love to torture my own characters, she was pining after G’raha Tia, who had locked himself away in the tower, never to be seen again.

Well, look how that turned out.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS

By now, Dijana has a dedicated storyline without me constantly unsure wtf I’m doing. I discovered mods by now, so making Dijana look more how I imagine is much easier. Unfortunately, feels like all the hair mods I like don’t have working highlights :I So Dijana’s blonde/gold tipped hair doesnt really get to be seen much. But the best part? FREAKING FINALLY I GOT DANCER

Crystal Exarch’s presence in this expansion obviously threw a wrench into the plan of ‘lets make my character as miserable as possible’ but what the hell, now I can take sappy screenshots.

And now we are all caught up. Pink haired human to dusky lizard girl.

The Finder Percy Jackson AU nobody asked for??

Hii, so i know its kinda weird to make a finders AU with percy jackson just because those two things are so different altogether. Percy jackson is an american book series for kids and teens while Viewfinder is anything but that. But i had a stupid idea so here i am.

While i was walking down the street i asked myself why litrally every character in vf is in love or somehow desires Akihito. (Because hes a beautiful, sunshine boy and honest human being and deserves just the best) but the first thing that came to my mind was that Akihito is the son of Aphrodite. Obviously? Duh!

I would change it into maybe japanese mythologie but i just have absolutly no knowlegde about that. Sorry!

So Akihito as a son of aphrodite makes sense. He is obviously beautiful and very desireable but without even trying. He is not flirting and trying to be handsome and dressing good. He is just being himself, wearing the things he finds cool and in which hes comfortable. But theres just something about him that attracks a lot of very different people to him. Its like he has something about him thats...inhumane. something magical. That the aphrodite part.

It also fits that Akihito has often different eye or haircolour in Senseis art. Even more than normal manga character. In the books Aphrodite can change her appearence to fit the desired appearence of whoever is looking at her. That can be another power akihito posesses and isnt aware of. So his hair can look brown, or hazel, or blond, or silver and his eyes can change colour just as easily to hazel, or brown, or blue. (I know its kinda official that now he has hazel hair and eyes but still)

How aphrodite meet his dad is also pretty logical. As a photographer u capture beauty: weddings, models, fashion, landscapes etc. And it would be pretty logical that Aphrodite turned herself into a human model, as the gods love to do, and through a photoshoot she feel in love with Akihitos dad and they produced Akihito.

I dont think Akihito would be very happy to be Aphrodites son to be honest. I think he would want to be a son of Hermes or Apollo. (Hermes would also fit so well!) He isnt interessted in fashion or make up or celebraties, he doesnt want to seduce someone, or judge people with his siblings. But thats okay. Children of Aphrodite dont have to be like that as seen by Piper who is a protagonist in the Books.

Akihito still has some powers. The apprearance change, the desirability (which is very problematic because people try to rape him...way to often), but i also think he has some kind of weaker charmspeak. An ability that commands people to do what he says. Because Asami lets him do pretty much everything he wants or that time that he got through to Feilong in Hongkong. But still. Its weak. Asami is obviously still in control over his mind and actions. And i dont think akihito is trained to use his abilities. He doesnt even realize when hes using them. And i also think akihito can feel the emotions surounding him.

His go to weapon would also be a dagger, like piper. Not a sword. It would be to heavy and with a dagger he has more freedom and is faster, more flexible, and can fight unconventional.

Now imagine Akihito feeling not powerful enough, not strong enough because he cant shoot arrows as good as the apollo children, or fight as violent and aggresive as the Ares kids, or being as smart as Athenas. But then. In a very important fight against a powerful monster or a titan and Asami is in danger he isnt feeling afraid or weak anymore because hes vibrating with fire and the desire to protect and suddenly he is leaping and fighting like a fury. So is Asami when he is in danger. When lightings bolts are killing thousands of monsters and the winds hold Asami as if he is a god himself. When he paints the battlefield, his sword and eyes red with his power. He realizes that love is a strong weapon. The strongest. A weapon even the gods fear.

So other character would feature

Asami as son of Jupiter

Kirishima as a son Minerva

Suoh as a son of Mars

Feilong as a son of Venus (feiLOVE do u get it?)

Every woman needs something she does just for her. It's so important as wives, mothers, daughters and significant others that women everywhere, every so often take the time to do something for just themselves. My something is being pampered by my hairdresser. Spending time in the company of a friend and just exhaling!!! There are some things women can't share with their spouses, children, parents that they can share with a true friend. I always say that the best thing you can do for your children is to look after their mother!!! My hairdresser is the secret to my gorgeous hair, and pretty nails. She's also a treasure trove of useful advice in maintaining my healthy, flowing and beautiful hair. I will say it again, because it's oh so true. My hairdresser loves my precious hair as much as I do💇‍♀️💇‍♀️💇‍♀️ She is valuable and equally delightful to me✂️✂️✂️💝💝💝 @tanya.pepler used the @matrixhaircolor Dark Brown with extra Grey Coverage for my Roots and Red for my Mid Lengths to Tips. #hairproductsthatwork #hair #haircare #hairlove #hairlife #haircaretips #haircareproducts #matrixcolor #matrixcolorsync #matrixhair #haircaretips #haircut #hairofinstagram #haircuts #hairsalons #hairstyle #haircutsforwomen #hairstyles #hairstyling #hairsalon #haircolorspecialist #haircolorideas #hairdresser #hairdressing #haircolor #haircolour #haircolorist (at Durban, KwaZulu-Natal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNM61IOJN69/?igshid=1wem8h2a2korq

I suppose, also lotsa swearing for some reason my Vex swears a lot Series: Part 3 of thursday nights and friday mornings

Summary:

Vex has had quite enough of this week full of extra studying and homework. Now she's gotta deal with everyone at the pub teasing her about her supposed new 'sweetheart'. And then suddenly she's gotta deal with 'sweetheart' and his very obvious problems. (All while Vax laughs)

Notes:

It's the first thursday night! Off to such a great start! Or not. You gotta add some dramatic undertones to a slow-burn dorklove fic, I think.

[Part 1]

[Part 2]

It had only been a week since her last engineering class, but Vex felt like it had stretched on for months. What was usually just a quick half hour of homework – granted, she'd never bothered to spend more time than necessary on this class, and oh what bitter irony it felt like now - had turned into a whole week of research, library visits and late evenings staring at equations that would not, could not be solved.

And that was just the first two assignments Percy had given her. She'd not dared to look into the folder he'd handed her with even more papers inside. Two assignments instead of one after a week, that should count for something, right? Surely it'd make him agree that she was taking her grades seriously now. Surely he'd decide to drop the rest of it and give her a damn C or D on the entire class and be done with it. (Surely he'd be a bit impressed by her efforts, she thought for a second, before beating down that silly idea coming from out of nowhere.)

But none of that plan would work if she didn't manage to finish this set of equations tonight.

Before she could pick up her pencil to scribble some more useless numbers on the paper, Vax interrupted her with a theatrical slam of the front door.

„Get your shoes on, dearest sister! I've found us yet another great and well-paying job!“ That could mean no good – Vax's idea of a 'great job' usually meant either something so boring he could just sleep through it, or something so dangerous and barely-legal that Vex didn't even want to hear about it.

„Vax, I told you hundreds of times, I can't. I have to finish this goddamn homework so I can hand it in tomorrow.“

„That's for tomorrow?“ Vax's question seemed innocuous enough, but she could see the edges of his mouth twitch upwards suspiciously.

„Yes. My engineering class. Every friday. We've been over this.“

„Could it be, Vex, sister, dearest.“ He stood behind her chair now, hands heavy on her shoulders, and she could hear the glee in his voice. „Could it be that you've forgotten tomorrow is a holiday?“

She tensed up. Her mind raced. What was the date again?

„Oh, fucking hell.“ was all she could stammer.

Vax couldn't hold back anymore, and her continued swearing was drowned under a wave of laughter as he leaned down, still holding onto her shoulders, which she quickly shrugged off.

„You didn't think to tell me that the whole week you watched me work my ass off?!“

„I didn't know you were doing it for this friday.“ He was still giggling and only barely lying. „I thought you just wanted to get as much done as possible!“

„I fucking hate you.“ She slammed her book shut. „Now tell me about this goddamn job I'm apparently working tonight, considering how much free time I've just gained.“

„Oh, it's a great gig! Scanlan's playing at-“

„I'm not working for Scanlan again. We agreed on that.“ The bastard had stiffed them last time, despite the copious amounts of cheap-drink-buying - which Vex realised now was mostly done to get them drunk enough not to notice when he paid them barely half of what he promised.

„It's not for Scanlan, and if you'd let me finish a sentence you would know that.“ Vax poked her side. „As I said – Scanlan's playing at Gilmore's tonight. I helped him set up, and Gilmore mentioned he was short-staffed. He needs a bartender and a waitress.“ Another poke. „I sang some praises about how quick on your feet you are and how friendly and customer-oriented and how good all my drinks taste, and he's agreed to let us help out.“

That was, surprisingly, an actually great job Vax had scored them. Gilmore's Glorious Gastro-Pub was a nice enough place – albeit somewhat chaotic and filled with the most random and weird customers she'd met so far – and Gilmore was as good a boss as they could ever get. If they worked the latest shift as well, he would probably let them take home any and all leftovers from the kitchen. He'd already done that whenever Vax stayed as a guest far longer than opening hours allowed. A well-paid job, food for the fridge and a shitload of tips if she just practised her winks and smiles some more sounded wonderful to her after the stressful week.

„You have yourself a deal. When do we start?“

„Pretty much right now. Get your shoes on and we can help Gilmore set up the kitchen for the evening crowd as well.“

„Doesn't he have that new kitchen-guy that replaced Pike for help? Greg?“ Vex hadn't been to Gilmore's for quite a while, but Vax was a frequent customer – along with Keyleth – and kept her pretty up to date on their friends' shenanigans.

„Grog. Once you meet him, you'll realise why he won't be much help at all when it comes to delicate things like dishes.“

----------------------------------------

8 hours later, Vex was still surprised how well her brother did in getting this short time job. She would have to actually be nice to him tomorrow, to say thanks.

But right now, she was allowed to shoot dagger-sharp looks in his direction every time he matched her stare.

It only took about 5 minutes after she put on the waitress apron at the beginning of this shift that Scanlan had made an off-hand joke about 'putting in extra work everywhere' that she planned to ignore. It took another 30 minutes until she was introduced to Grog, and his first words to her were „Ain't you got an important class tomorrow?“. It was so busy in the middle of the evening that she barely noticed Kima getting a beer at the bar and shouting „Didn't know you liked blondes, too, Darky!“ when she shuffled past her with a tray full of drinks. But the breaking point had been when Pike came in after an obviously exhausting day at the hospital, sitting down to an already perfectly prepared drink and patting the seat beside her, putting on her usual happy-mumfriend face and asking Vex to tell her „everything about your new sweetheart at college“. Vax had almost dropped his cocktail shaker from giggling before fleeing his sister's rage by dashing to the kitchen.

He didn't get far. He was halfway to the walk-in cooler before she slammed him into the wall.

„What the everloving fuck have you been telling people about me?“

„Nothing but the truth.“ Vax was still giggling slightly, trying to push her away, but she didn't budge. „Just that you've got a class with a much bigger workload now and a new teacher.“ „That is an awfully short way of describing the gossip you're spreading about me.“

„I'm not spreading gossip. It hurts that you think I would do that, to my own sister.“

She pushed a bit harder and heard him cough – her elbow was digging into his chest. „Pike thinks I've got a 'sweetheart'. Kima knew his fucking haircolour.“

„Now, to be fair.“ He finally managed to push her away just a bit, enough to let him breathe again. „You've given me such a good description of your horrible-not-horrible teach by now that I could pick him out of a crowd, and I've never even seen the guy. I know you're very perceptive but I get the feeling that you've spend more time than usual memorizing little Percival's... attributes.“

All he earned for his smug wink was a punch in the stomach. Vex had left before he could get up from the floor and stop coughing.

Hours later and with the pub now empty, she was still fuming about it. It hadn't taken a lot of insisting to convince Pike that there was no one new in her life – not that Pike would ever push further even if she didn't believe it – and she'd managed to mostly ignore or stare down any other jokes from their more rambunctious friends, but Vax had still avoided her pretty well. So all she could do was stare at him in anger. And now she couldn't even do that, because he had dissappeared somewhere while she was cleaning the bar top – which was, supposedly, his job as barkeeper.

Another figure appeared next to her to help instead. A tan hand, covered in gold rings and bracelets, grabbed a towel and began scrubbing with a slight jingle from all the jewelry. Vex looked up and looked into the dark, heavily painted, absolutely lovely face of Gilmore smiling at her.

„Let me help, Gorgeous.“

Vex couldn't help but laugh at his greeting. „I thought that was one of your many titles.“

„Ah, but that is one of the rules.“ Gilmore pointed at the sign behind the bar. The usual jokey 'no shirt, no shoes, extra friendly service' had been expanded with sharpie during many drunk nights. „Everyone in this pub is gorgeous. Some more than others, I might admit, but I'd certainly count you in the top class as well.“

„Well, thanks. I appreciate it, even if it's mostly because I look just like my brother.“

Now it was Gilmore's turn to laugh quickly. „Oh dear, enough about me and my gorgeous friends. What about your new friend? Is he as gorgeous as Vax makes him out to be from your descriptions?“

She groaned and put her head on the freshly cleaned countertop. „Not you too, Gilmore. Why does everyone believe I'm interested in someone just because I dared to talk about him more than once? Am I not allowed to be annoyed by a substitute teacher without everyone immediately dreaming up wedding lists?“

„Hyperbole, dear.“ He softly lifted her head back up. „The lady doth protest too much, methinks. I'm pretty sure people wouldn't be bothering you with it quite so much if it didn't... bother you as much.“

He had a point. Not that Vex was going to admit it out loud in any way. She was getting far too riled up about some light-hearted ribbing – why couldn't she take it with a smile and a sharp joke in return, like she usually would?

„Besides...“ Gilmore pulled her out of her thoughts again. „I wouldn't be quite so adamant about how much you dislike this new fellow. Just in case it turns out to be a bit more than nothing.“ He lifted his hand, jingling again, to stop her from answering. „Because if it is indeed more than nothing, I'm sure he'd be a tad unhappy to hear how much you talked him down before we ever met him.“

„Gilmore, you're not ever going to meet him.“ The lady doth protest again, she realised. „But maybe you're right, overall, and I should cut my brother some slack. He's just making fun of me as he always does.“

„He tries, dear. He cares for you a bit too much, maybe.“ A soft pat on the back. „And now get your gorgeous butt out of here, and take your brother's gorgeous butt with you. You've been here far too long and helped with much more than you needed. I'll get you your official payment tomorrow, okay? And for the unofficial...“ Gilmore turned around, towards the kitchen. „Grog! Is that takeout bag ready yet for the twins?“

---------------------------------

The icy air outside Gilmore's hit them both like an arrow in the chest. The absolute darkness beyond the streetlights at this time of night did not make the scene any more cosy. Despite still being angry with him, Vex couldn't resist huddling against her brother for warmth – and maybe a bit of feeling of safety, to be honest.

„At least we might not need a freezer for all this food, then.“ Vax looked down at the two large bags they'd been handed moments prior by a wide-smiling Grog.

„Let's just get home, and sleep.“

He steered her left down the street, past a smaller side alley that looked as inviting in the dark as it did by day – filled with trashcans, even more spilled waste, and leftover bottles from people who'd been thrown out of the various pubs around or were too drunk to ever be allowed in. And amongst all this dark rubble, she spotted a patch of white.

Instinct was all that made her pull her brother back sharply, against the wall and away from the alley. He was just as alert as her in an instant, probably thinking she'd seen a mugger or something equally dangerous.

„What?“ He barely whispered. „What is it?“

„Percival.“

„...What?“ Vax's expression changed from concerned to confused, but Vex only shushed him and inched forward a bit, peeking into the alleyway.

There he was, just as she'd seen it, all white hair and golden glasses and big blue coat. What she wasn't used to was the slumped position down on the ground, head hanging low. Nor was she used to the bottle in his hand.

„Holy shit.“ Vax had apparently peeked in as well. „Is that – that's your boy? De Rolo?“

„Ssh!“ She pulled him back.

„What do we do now?“ Vax didn't know why they were still whispering. It seemed like Percy was in no state to hear them anyway.

„What do you mean, what do we do? We go home!“

„Are you serious? You find someone you know crouched down in an alley and your first reaction is to run off?“

Vex stared at her feet, thinking of Percy's embarassed face once he sobered up enough to realise that she'd found him in this state. It would be easier to just pretend nothing like that had ever happened.

„I mean, I don't know. He's just...“ Another lean past the corner and a quick look at Percy. „He seems pretty out of it. Drunk. I mean.“

„No shit.“ Vax shook off her hands, still around his collar, and pushed his takeaway bag into her hands before she could react. „Let's check if he's just drunk or if it's something worse, though.“

„VAX!“

She couldn't stop him as he stepped into the alley and straight in front of Percy, who barely reacted by shortly shaking his head.

„Hey, bud. You ok? Somebody jump you, or something?“ He tried to sound calm, but Vex could hear the slight nervosity in her brother's voice. They knew all to well how much could hide in the rest of this alley.

„M'fine.“ She could barely make out from Percy's mumbling.

„Yeah, no, you're not. Where do you live? Is there anyone we can call to pick you up?“

No response. Vax sighed and turned back to her.

„Sis, come and help me at least. This is your drunk bag of problems here, after all.“

She hated him for this, sure, but she was at his side just as quickly.

„And now?“

„And now we take Mister de Rolo out of the gutter and, preferably, into a warmer home. He'll thank you for it later, I'm sure.“

Vax lifted Percy off the ground and slung his arm over his shoulder. Vex took a step closer, pretending to try and help, instead getting a good look at the bottle Percy had left lying on the ground. She recognised the label, barely, from behind Gilmore's bar. It wasn't the cheapest.

„Your boy is pretty light.“ Vax could feel Percy's ribs as he put his arm around his waist, even through shirt and coat. „I think he's not eating right.“ „He's not my boy.“ She grumbled quietly, hoping Percy wasn't awake enough to listen to them.

„Whatever. Let's get him home. Where does he live?“

„How should I know? I only see him at school.“

They stared at each other, blank, while Percy gave out a quiet groan from being dragged.

„Well, then. Should we just... should we take him home with us?“ Vax asked. Vex shrugged.

„Maybe by then he's sobered up enough to tell us where he lives.“

„Sis, I'm not gonna carry your pretty boy through town only to find out he lives at the other end. If we take him home, he's gonna stay until he's sober enough to walk back on his own.“ He looked down at the still groaning guy hanging off his shoulder. „And I highly doubt that's gonna happen anytime before tomorrow morning. He can have the couch.“

With that, Vax began dragging Percy down the street, only to be stopped by his slurring voice.

„Jus... jus leave me.“

„No can do, boy. The pub's closed, there's obviously no one else to take you home, and the police's gonna start doing their rounds soon.“ Vax patted Percy on the back and instantly hoped it wouldn't cause him to throw up. „Trust me, the worst place to wake up hungover is in the drunkard cell.“

„I know.“

Vex and Vax shared a look. What a catch, Vax seemed to say silently, you really know how to pick them. She flipped him the bird.

-------------------------------------------

It didn't take them long to get back to the twins' flat just a few roads down. It proved a bit more difficult to get Percy up the stairs, but they managed to get him through the door and on the sofa without any really major scratches or bruises. Percy had already blacked out halfway down the street, so at least he wouldn't remember where the few scrapes on his cheek came from.

Vax pulled off his jacket while Vex undid his shoes, and together they draped him over the old couch. Vex carefully lifted his glasses off his face and put them on the table, at the same time shooing away Trinket, who was very interested in this stranger suddenly taking up all the space on his couch. She wasn't fast enough to stop him from licking right across Percy's face.

Luckily it only elicited another groan before he turned his head away and quietly snored again. He looked so calm, it was hard to believe she'd only just found him in a beer puddle next to a pub. It was hard to believe she'd met him there at all.

„Well, let's see here.“ She was still lost in thought when she heard her brother at the other end of the room and looked up. There he was, Percy's coat in front of him on the hanger, his hands already deep in its pockets.

„Vax, what the fuck?!“ She hissed. „Don't go through his stuff! Don't steal anything!“

„Oh please, sis. Like I'd be that stupid.“ His hands didn't stop, though. „I just wanna see if he has a cellphone or something. We gotta let somebody know where he is, don't we?“ One hand emerged – with a very crumbled pack of smokes. „An alcoholic smoker. What a lovely set of addictions.“ The other hand emerged empty. „No cellphone, though. Maybe in his jeans pocket?“

„We are not picking his pockets while he's asleep.“

Vax was by now going through what she could only assume was Percy's wallet. He pulled out an ID and snorted almost immediately.

„Oh, poor boy.“

„What?“ Vex was up and halfway towards him, but he quickly pushed the ID back in.

„Nothing, dear sister. Nothing that you should know, if he's not willingly told you yet.“

„He hasn't told you anything willingly either! You just went through his stuff!“

Vex made a move for the wallet, but Vax pushed it back into the coat quicker.

„Okay, so no phone to call someone, I've no idea where the adress from his ID is, nothing else in the pockets that could tell us anything, except that he is as unhealthy as he could get. Your boy is a mystery man in his own right.“

„If you don't stop calling him my boy, I'm going to punch you where it hurts.“

„Let's just let him sleep off everything on the couch and worry about it in the morning.“ Vax was obviously getting tired and ignoring his sister's threats.

„I'm gonna worry the whole night.“ She'd murmured to herself, but he heard.

„Vex, he's fine. Sure, drunk out of his ass and probably frozen halfway through, but he'll be alright.“

„That's not- ...not exactly what I meant.“ She sighed. Why did she have to find him like this? What would he think once he remembered? How much more embarassing could their whole situation get, anyway?

And why the hell was he getting blackout drunk?, a true worry crept into the back of her head.

*; Iwasaki Ayumi » Headcanon 01: Family

First big headcanon post about Ayumi and her family! To go a little in depth I decided to talk more about the other members of her family and Ayumi’s relationship to them and their relationship among each other! First off, Ayumi’s mother!

Iwasaki Chie: Chie is Ayumi’s and Ken’s mother and Osamu’s wife. She’s a professor for politics and economics at a private university. Her husband works at the same University, but in a much different field. Chie is quirkless. She has dark red hair and green eyes. Ayumi got her haircolour from her mother. Ken also got a slightly lighter version of her haircolour from her, and her green eyes. She’s pretty much the entire family’s impulse control. While having Ayumi undergo etiquette training as a child under the watchful eye of their nannie, Chie also wants Ayumi to be herself and allowed her to rebel a little by getting a labret piercing. Chie doesn’t really like it, but if it makes Ayumi happy she’d turn a blind eye on it.

Iwasaki Osamu: Osamu is Ayumi’s and Ken’s father and Chie’s husband. As mentioned before, he is also a professor at the same private university that Chie teaches at. He teaches art, literature and algebra. His quirk is ‘Swap’. Ayumi directly inherited her father’s quirk, so they share the same quirk. He has blonde hair and purple eyes. He looks VERY strict but is actually quite easy going and fun loving. Chie is him impulse control or else he’d do a lot of stupid stuff. He is all about self expression and Ayumi didn’t have to ask him twice to be allowed to get a piercing. He likes Edgar Allan Poe and sometimes randomly quotes him at the worse of times.

However, both Chie and Osamu are very caring. Despite leaving Ayumi in their nanny’s care for about 6 years so they could continue teaching, Ayumi loves them dearly. She has a strong sense of responsibility and understands the hard work and pressure her parents are going through as teachers. Besides, their nanny Ito Tsumugi is a true sweetheart who loves and supports both Ayumi and Ken dearly, even if Ayumi has been kind of difficult to handle sometimes.

Iwasaki Ken: Being 8 years younger than Ayumi, Ken is obviously her little brother. He’s 9 years old and, much like their mother, quirkless. He gets quite the attention from both his parents, their nanny and Ayumi, so he’s rarely alone. Ayumi loves him dearly and Ken looks up to her. Despite Ayumi’s consistent failure to make it into the hero course, he believes his sister will become the coolest hero ever! Despite being quirkless, Ken likes playing pretend and pretends to be a hero who rescues his nanny or fulfils difficult tasks for her. He has the same theatrical and literature sense as his dad and enjoys puppet shows, stage plays, and musicals as a form of entertainment. However, Ken did not receive the same etiquette training like Ayumi did, thus not being able to play the violin and the piano like Ayumi does. He likes playing the drums tho, but due to them being too noisy isn’t allowed to.

jackssims replied to your photoset “Lavender and Bailey both witnessed the birth, and aren’t quite sure...”

I don't think Jeremy was expecting it either tbh

were anyone expecting this? i wasn’t

sevenleafsimblr replied to your photoset “Lavender and Bailey both witnessed the birth, and aren’t quite sure...”

whys so much of this queue marked as sensitive jfc

tumblr hates me and probably also bc of the amount of words relating to death

jackssims replied to your photoset “Jeremy: Wha- Argh!”

sevenleafsimblr replied to your post “Simblr either or: 1-9??”

gdi this contains both the numbers i sent

oops

futurecarrie replied to your post “nobody cares but....” I felt lukewarm about Kazuichi tbh, but I can see where the love comes from

jackssims replied to your post “nobody cares but....”

I love Kazuichi too tf`

i am BURNING HOT for kazuichi, so yeah i had to freak out for a bit. also hi fellow kazuichi lover, we are too few.

smile-beautifuly replied to your photo

I've noticed that anything that has the word dead in it gets tagged

smile-beautifuly replied to your photo

Or flagged I guess

experimentalsims replied to your photo

I think when you use certain words it triggers safemode like murder kill death shooting. It was happening to me on almost every single draft so I changed my words. I haven't figured out what else triggers it.

yeah, that’s probably it, but idk how to get around using words like that for a mmbc. unless i need to start saying that chalina got stabby-stabbied and raven got CRONCHED. yeah let’s just stick with using the word murder.

blurrypxls replied to your post “mmbc queue”

Idk if i mentioned this in our convo the other day but for some reason safe mode doesn't work on my phone?? Which is weird because such posts don't show up on my ipad and desktop

u sneaky! >_>

sevenleafsimblr replied to your photoset

why is tumblr censoring half of an episode literally called Bright and Pure

once again, tumblr hates me.

Siblings Interview Tag: Marie and Scarlett Rose

Like I said in this post, I was tagged twice - and therefore I want to do this tag twice. I know I asked for suggestions and I was asked to do either Regan and Felix or Caleb and Lilith Vatore. I was going to do Regan and Felix, since developing them would be more useful for their legacy than developing my nsb!Vatores, but then I thought wait a minute, if I want to do Scarlett’s BC, wouldn’t it be fun to develop her and her twinsister a little more? After all, I treated them like shit in the og legacy. So yeah, thank you guys for suggestions and I’m sorry I didn’t use them in the end. I will keep them in mind though, one day they’ll come in handy for sure.

1. Which one of you is the older sibling?

Scarlett: “You’re the older twin.”

Marie: “The wanted twin. You were quite a surprise.”

Scarlett: “I thought we were grown-ups, why are you rubbing it in my face again?”

2. What do you like about your sibling?

Marie: “I know you probably want me to go really deep, but I’m going to say her style. Like, I wouldn’t be able to pull it off myself, but it’s so cute on her. I love that.”

Scarlett: “Thank you! I like how honest you can be. If you don’t like something or someone, you just say it. I think that’s an important trait.”

Marie: “Definitely. Oh, you’re also really empathetic.”

Scarlett: “Unlike you.”

Marie: “Unlike me. Yeah, I don’t know what empathy is.”

3. What annoys you about your sibling?

Scarlett: ”You just said it. You can be pretty cold sometimes.”

Marie: “I know! I hate that about myself as well. Someone is crying in front of me and I don’t give a shit about why they’re crying, I’ll just stand there and pray they’ll stop soon because it hurts my ears. Which actually brings me to what annoys me about you.”

Scarlett: “Really?”

Marie: “Yeah, you cry about every little thing. Happy ocassion, sad one, doesn’t matter, you’ll have waterfalls coming down your cheeks.”

4. Describe your sibling(s) with three adjectives.

Scarlett: “Determined, sassy, kinda rude sometimes.”

Marie: “Soft, optimistic and caring, like I said already. She won’t leave you alone, she’ll just want to know you’re alright.”

5. What is your sibling’s/siblings’ biggest talent(s)?

Scarlett: “She was a mermaid in her past life. I’ve never understood how you can swim so fast.”

Marie: “It’s just practice.”

Scarlett: “First there’s talent, then you polish it with your practice and you’re amazing.”

Marie: “Thank you. You would’ve been a good goalkeeper.”

Scarlett: “Yeah, if I had kept doing football, I would. But then I injured my ankle and stopped.”

Marie: “I think your biggest talent now is...let me think...you take great pictures.”

Scarlett: “That’s why I’m glad I can take pictures for a living.”

6. What is your sibling(s) really bad at?

Scarlett: “Being nice to people.”

Marie: “Yeah. I don’t even know how to give a good compliment!”

Scarlett: “Okay, no, that’s a lie. You’ve already complimented me so many times in this interview!”

Marie: “I don’t think it’s in my blood to be nice. I took more after dad and he’s, well...I mean he’s nice, but he’s also not.”

Scarlett: “Yeah. Same with you, though you’re a little bit different. What am I bad at?”

Marie: “You’ve always been bad at remembering to give back the borrowed things. You know, pens, pencils...and you always forget to bring back the books from the library on time.”

Scarlett: “I know. Good thing auntie Rachel works there. She’s forgiven me quite a lot.”

7. Do you have nicknames for each other?

Marie: “We don’t.”

Scarlett: “What are you talking about?! We do!”

Marie: “But we didn’t come up with them.”

Scarlett: “Good point.”

Marie: “And we both hate them.”

Scarlett: “Scary Scar and Mini Sharon. Don’t ask our dad why he thought it would be fun to call me Scar.”

Marie: “Mine isn’t that bad. I mean, if mum didn’t dye her hair, we would really look alike, so -”

Scarlett: “Why didn’t he call me Mini Lynn then or something? Grandma’s haircolour somehow made it through genetics to me. Scary Scar is the worst nickname of all times.”

Marie: “I’m pretty sure uncle Caleb would beg to differ.”

8. What’s one thing you can do that your sibling(s) can’t?

Scarlett: “I’ve always been good at writing.”

Marie: “That’s right, you always got good grades on your writing homework, while me...I’m not creative, okay? Not to mention spelling is hard sometimes.”

Scarlett: “But you can swim and run faster than anyone in the family.”

Marie: “That’s right. I’m unstoppable!”

9. Did you get along when you were younger?

Marie: “Sometimes we didn’t talk for days.”

Scarlett: “True.”

Marie: “But most of the time, we were okay, I guess.”

10. What is your funniest childhood memory of your sibling?

Marie: “Oh god, this is embarrassing.”

Scarlett: “It is. If we’re thinking the same thing, it is.”

Marie: “But we were so little - wait, are you thinking the concert too?”

Scarlett: “The concert. We should tell the story.”

Marie: “Yeah, totally. So, it was dad’s birthday, he had a concert that night, and his bandmates thought it would be cute if they got us on stage so we could sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to him in front of everyone.”

Scarlett: “We thought it would be nice too, even mum agreed, and so we got ready for our moment of fame. And as we walked on the stage, I realized how many people were staring at us.”

Marie: “And you started shaking and crying. I tried to calm you down, but it didn’t work, and before anyone could do anything else, I dragged you to the backstage again. I remember dad was so confused, like what the hell were we doing there?! But he wasn’t mad at all. We wished him a happy birthday later and never attempted to surprise him in the middle of his concert again.”

Scarlett: “That’s a lie. I don’t know who it was - Joe maybe? - I think he tried to convince us next year again, but mum was against it.”

11. Are you closer now or when you were younger?

Scarlett: “Definitely now.”

Marie: “When there’s a problem, we now solve it by talking, instead of putting it off for days. I think that’s the biggest difference.”

12. Did you compete with each other?

Marie: “Don’t all siblings compete from time to time?”

13. Which one of you is more likely to turn out like your mum or dad?

Marie: “Dad literally calls me Mini Sharon sometimes, so guess what.”

Scarlett: “You’re a good mix of both though! I feel like - I mean you can tell I’m their daughter, but it’s not as clear as with you.”

Marie: “You inherited all of dad’s talent. You can sing, you could write songs if you wanted to. I’m more like mum.”

Scarlett: “Meaning there’s not a sport you wouldn’t succeed in.”

Marie: “I wish. But yeah, sort of.”

14. Which one is most likely to have a big family?

Scarlett: “I’m single right now, so...what about you, Marie?”

Marie: “Mason and I are too young and stupid to have spawns of our own.”

Scarlett: “When I was little, I wanted a big family, but now that I’m older and I travel a lot, I think children can wait.”

Marie: “It’s not like mum and dad want to become grandparents, is it?”

Scarlett: “It’s likely that it is dad’s biggest nightmare.”

Marie: “It would ruin this illusion that he’s still young.”

Scarlett: “Yeah. No offense, dad.”

Marie: “Can we turn this into a ‘let’s roast our dad’ session? I strangely enjoy that.”

Scarlett: “Same! Again, no offense, dad.”

15. What is one thing about your sibling(s) that has changed as you’ve gotten older?

Scarlett: “She’s not as mean anymore. She used to pull my hair all the time just to tease me.”

Marie: “I can still do that if you miss it.”

Scarlett: “No! Stop it!”

16. Who’s better at maths?

Marie: “Good question.”

Scarlett: “We were both a little above the average, I’d say.”

Marie: “Yeah. But I won that prize in the second grade, so I’m slightly better.”

17. Who is more pessimistic and who is more optimistic?

Scarlett: “I wouldn’t call you either of those things.”

Marie: “I’m trying to stay realistic. You on the other hand, you’re always like ‘oh yeah, this could be fun, let’s try it!’ and you never think about what could go wrong! How do you do that?”

Scarlett: “I wish I knew. It’s just who I am.”

18. Is there anything you don’t like doing together?

Marie: “I hate going shopping with you. I’m sorry but it just takes too long. It’s not necessary!”

Scarlett: “It is! I don’t want to buy something and then later at home realize that I actually don’t need it!”

19. Which one of you do you think will get married first?

Scarlett: “The one of us that is currently in a relationship.”

Marie: “Never say never. You might find the right person soon and you won’t want to wait.”

20. Lastly, how often do you argue?

Marie: “Not so often anymore.”

Scarlett: “It’s because we spend less time together and when we see each other, we actually miss each other and neither of us thinks about arguing.”

Marie: “Oh yeah, I’m so happy you travel so much and I don’t have to see you every single day.”

#ts3 #sims 3 #rose legacy extra #marie rose #scarlett rose #this was fun!#also yeah tyler's band is mentioned here #hopefully i'll get to talk about it more soon #i haven't even figured out their name yet #but oh well #it's fun even without the name
