Stewjon is Space Scotland: Names and Naming Conventions

For context, I designed an entire naming system for my Stewjon is Space Scotland AU. I'm still trying to work out the cultural logistics of it, but the actual practical logistics I have down.

To break everything down:

Stewjon is a clan-centric society, with clans and clan names having a hugely important role in the culture. I therefore had clan names feature in both the first and last name of Stewjonis.

-The last name (Kenobi) is the family/clan name, and is passed down the family paternally. This is both because I'm from a western culture with a paternal naming tradition, and also because I liked how his parents names sounded when the last names transferred paternally but not maternally. "Ken" would translate to "Clan" (I don't know if this is accurate to Scots English or Scots Gaelic, but I'm working from canon Star Wars names and trying to worldbuild from nothing so work with me here), and then the clan name "Obi" is attached, so "Kenobi" translates to "Clan Obi" or "of Clan Obi"

-The given name (-Wan, but we'll get to "Wan" in a second) is one to two syllables. All of these names are (according to Wikipedia) actual Scottish names, which I picked from the list mostly based on how well they'd sound next to the clan name.

-The prefix clan name (Obi-) is the interesting part. All children are given the father's clan name as both their first and last clan name. Therefore, Obi-Wan Kenobi, son of Ito-Benneit Kenobi, has "Obi" in both his first and last name. However, upon marriage, the couple swaps their prefix clan names to signify the tie between their clans. Therefore his mother Ito-Ceit Kenito and his father Obi-Benneit Kenobi became Obi-Ceit Kenito and Ito-Benneit Kenobi upon their marriage.

-Originally I was going to do something with the fact that "Obi" means belt in Japanese, such as making the clan names signify professions in the same way "Miller" or "Smith" would in English surnames, but I gave up because Japanese is so different of a language from what I understand that I would have just made myself very confused and everyone who understands Japanese language and culture very mad. So I just went with a vowel-consonant-vowel pattern for all the clan names and called it a day.

-Remember how I said we would come back to "Wan"? Obi-Wan wasn't born Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was born Obi-Owen (Owen is a whole 'nother thing and I decided to just give myself a freebie on it), and his name was anglicized (basic-icized?) upon being brought to the Jedi temple. Not on purpose, but it did happen. So technically the chart above should have him listed as Obi-Owen Kenobi, but I already took the screenshot so this is what we're working with.

-Culturally, it's respectful to refer to someone by their full name (Obi-Owen Kenobi). The full name stands until two people are fairly close to each other, platonically or romantically. The informal, friendly version would be their full first name (Obi-Owen). So you wouldn't call your new friend "Obi-Owen" until you're quite close, even if you're social equals. Technically you could refer to someone by their given name only (Owen), but it's awkward and Stewjonis don't really see a reason for it. All of this highlights the cultural emphasis placed on clans and clan ties in Stewjoni society.

The Family Tree

THE KIDS

Starting from the bottom, we have the four Kenobi siblings. Obi-Conn is the oldest, and he marries Yana-Eóin Kenyana, becoming Yana-Conn Kenobi. None of this happens in the story but I wrote it in the chart anyways. Obi-Eóin is nonbinary, which is why their square is white instead of blue or pink.

Obi-Mór and Obi-Pál are twins and approximately four years younger than Yana-Conn. Obi-Mór is ambiguously disabled (she has some form of muscular disability, but the specifics weren't relevant to the story). Obi-Pál is just some guy and I love him for that.

Obi-Owen is the baby of the family. He's twelve years younger than the twins (16 years younger than Yana-Conn) and was definitely an oopsie-baby. I don't need to say anything else because he is also one of the major characters of the Star Wars franchise. You know him.

THE PARENTS

Obi-Ceit Kenito and Ito-Benneit Kenobi are the Kenobi siblings' parents. I don't have much to say here other than that Ito-Benneit shortens his name to Ito-Ben, to avoid the repeated "eet" sound in his full first name. I'm sure that doesn't affect Obi-Owen's future nicknames in any way!

It is Ito-Benneit fault, by the way, that I made clan prefixes instead of surnames to be switched upon marriage. Culturally, it would have made more sense for the more commonly used first name to hold your birth clan and your less commonly used surname to indicate your linked-by-marriage clan, but I needed Obi-Benneit to marry into the name Ito-Benneit so that I could shorten it to Ben. Goddammit.

THE GRANDPARENTS

Ito-Ben's parents are entirely irrelevant so they don't exist. Sad!

Technically I didn't have to name Ito-Lili Kenuna, but I felt bad having her up there as an unnamed person. Una-Owen Kenito, as you may suspect, is where Obi-Wan's name comes from. I really wanted to highlight his Stewjoni heritage in this fic, so giving him family ties through his whole name was important to me. Obi-Ceit names Obi-Owen for her father because Una-Owen was a strong fighter, and she wants to pass that resilience to her son. Which, uh. Well he sure is resilient to things trying to kill him!

Feel free to come yell at me in the askbox about Stewjon's worldbuilding!

I tried looking up Sarah Kemble and got Sarah Siddons. Indeed an actress who had 7 kids apparently and was known for playing Lady Macbeth. 😳

Hi, anon! Although the historical Sarah Siddons (née Kemble) lived decades prior to the main events of Kuro, from 1755-1831, her profession and the spelling of her maiden name are identical to those provided in Chapter 209. According to her Wikipedia article, Siddons excelled in tragic roles such as Hamlet and Queen Catherine (Henry VIII)—but, as you mentioned, she was most renowned for her portrayal of Lady Macbeth. Contemporary writer William Hazlitt went so far as to declare her “tragedy personified.” Yana apparently wanted to emphasize Snake’s fate as a child of sorrow doomed to an unhappy end!

When you consider Siddons’s large family and the fact that she maintained a persona of dignified, maternal femininity onstage and off (which ensured her career remained largely scandal-free—thus disproving some of my musings in this post), there’s a bitter irony to Yana’s choice of name for Snake’s mother. Snake, who never knew his mother, and who had not one but two happy, bustling families stripped away from him.

Barbie movie - classifying the Doctor, Master and some companions

The question has arisen in me and on my dash yesterday whether the Doctor (or the Master) is Barbie or Ken. Now, obviously, by main character / importance to the plot criteria, all incarnations plus most companions are Barbies. But let's organise them by a funnier question:

Do they have enough of a job to be considered a Barbie?

(I still haven't seen that much of series 1 & 2, so please take 9 and 10 with a grain of salt. Also, I have obviously forgotten about several jobs because so often the Doctor just pretends to have a job for convenience sake. Which doesn't count except if they really indulge in it.)

9: Ken. No job, only trauma. Rose is the Barbie in this duo, working in retail.

10: Ken. No job and prettily pathetic, perfect for a Ken. That said, Rose has evolved into a bit of a Ken as well by now. I don't reckon working in a school cafeteria is enough of a job considering how little enthousiasm she shows. Later, Martha is absolutely the Barbie to this Ken, working in a shop, as a maid, for UNIT and as a doctor/medical student. I think Donna is a bit of a Ken too, considering how she feels about her job but evolves into Temp Barbie once she realises the worth of her work experience.

John Smith: Teacher Barbie

Professor Yana: Scientist Barbie

Simm!Master: Prime Minister Barbie, look at him go! Later, when posing as Mr. Razor he evolves into a Ken though; watching TV with Bill while planning to betray her is not a job.

11: Barbie. He works in a shop and as a caretaker and in Craig's workplace and for the US President and he even has a desk at UNIT. Always has the time of his life in a new profession. All of his companions are Barbies, too.

War: Ken. No jobs left in the universe, no Barbies left either.

12: Barbie. Works as a caretaker, for UNIT, as a professor and as president of the world. Even has his own plane. Clara is a Teacher Barbie, Bill is a Student and Cafeteria Worker Barbie and Nardole is the Ken to them. He does have a job but the description is 'annoy the Doctor' which is a very Ken-like job.

Missy: Ken. The Nethersphere is not a job, it's a hobby. And then she spends most of her time imprisoned.

13: Ken. Doesn't have an actual job and openly refuses re-employment by Division. Grace is a Barbie and Dan is a Volunteer Barbie (and almost a Museum Guide Barbie). I think Ryan and Graham start off as Barbies (Mechanic Barbie and Busdriver Barbie) and end up as Kens, defending the Earth. Yaz is a Police Barbie. She had the potential to become a happy Ken with 13 but her insisting on bringing up her former job until into Flux kinda ruined that in my eyes. Maybe she manages to become a Ken in her support group.

Dhawan!Master: Barbie. MI6 Agent, Officer, Seismologist, Advisor of the Tsar- we barely see him without a new job; it's like he collects them.

Fugitive Doctor: Ex-Division Operative Barbie. Desperately trying to become a Ken but hasn't quite been able to shake off the old persona yet.

#barbie #this is a joke #please take it as a joke #really my main criterion for deciding whether something was an actual job was 'how strongly do they identify with the job'#also as you may have noticed there is little judgement here on whether it's preferable to be considered barbie or ken #it's preferable to be a ken for yaz because I am not a fan of her being police and it would be preferable for 10 to be a barbie because #then martha wouldn't need to support him when stuck in 1969 #and so on

To be human

This took a while I haven't written In ages but I love this show and it inspired me so much that chapter 2 is already half way done. Please don't hesitate to point out any mistakes this was not Beta'd.

Enjoy E x

Summary: When Isaac finds a way to be human he. Claire and the rest of the crew have to deal with everything that comes with that.

Fandom: The Orville / The Orville new horizons

Relationships: Isaac/Claire

Isaac was fascinated by the planet they had discovered a few days ago in a supposedly empty part of space. The people, while technically advanced, had not yet made the jump to long range space travel. However the planet designated Mino did have multiple satellites around it sending out signals to try and make contact, therefore the Union had given them permission to make their presence known.

But the most interesting thing about this humanoid race was their use of genetically grown bodies. The bodies themselves did not age, were more durable and could be fully customized to the users preference. From what Isaac could observe the users switched their consciousness between their genetically grown bodies and their real bodies as needed. They were popular amongst the beings in dangerous professions like law enforcement. But as far as he could tell it was more about vanity.

"Captain Mercer" Mino's elected representative greeted the captain as he walked into the large round conference room followed by his two advisors. Isaac, the Captain and Lieutenants Bortus and Kiali were attending the meeting.

"Representative Cam, good to see you again" the Captain said.

Cam smiled and gestured for them to sit.

"Captain, you'll be pleased to know that Mino's Council has come to a decision and decided that they would like to join your Union" he announced proudly.

"Excellent welcome to family" the captain grinned "As discussed we'd like to leave two union officers behind to teach you about the union and also study your planet".

"Of course they're more than welcome, we are very eager to learn about your people and study your technology as well" Cam agreed.

"Speaking of technology we'd love the opportunity before we leave to learn more about your genetically grown bodies. We outlawed cloning years ago for moral and ethical reasons but this seems like something new entirely" Ed said hopefully.

"Yes the surrogate program is our proudest achievement, we will be happy to share our technology in return"

"Thank you Representative Cam with your permission I'd leave our science officer Isaac to take a look at the surrogates and lieutenant Kiali will escort your researchers onto the ship to observe our labs".

"Of course, Isaac if you follow Yana" Cam gestured to one of his advisors "She will show you our lab".

"Thank you Representative Cam" Isaac nodded before following Yana out of the room.

**********************

The lab was very impressive, the people of Mino had somehow managed to develop a way to grow organic bodies without using original DNA.

"These bodies behave like any other human body?" Isaac asked the lab technician, a young man with extremely bright blue eyes named Kin.

"Yes absolutely in fact I'm using one right now" he smiled, spreading his arms and turning slowly. Isaac looked him up and down carefully, he could detect no signs that he was not scanning a normal human body except for the brain which showed some electrical components which he now understood were essential for the transfer of consciousness.

"And they do not age?" He inquired

"No we design them to reach the users desired age then stop" Kin smiled checking somes screens next to the current growing body suspended in fluid. An idea began forming in Isaacs mind

"How long does the process take?" He asked.

"Depending on the desired age of the body, about a week," Kin said, going on to explain about accelerated growth as Isaac solidified his idea.

******************

He spent the rest of the afternoon re-examining Dr Villka and Timmis's research. By the time it came to have dinner with Claire he had the necessary data and knowledge to complete his idea. However he had come to learn that when you are in a couple major life decisions must be discussed.

He got to the simulator early and changed into his simulated appearance while he waited for his wife to arrive. A few moments later the simulator doors opened and Claire strode in looking flustered

"Sorry I'm late it's been a hectic day I've got two nurses off sick and Lamar got himself electrocuted by spilling soda over his console"

"It is understandable you are late given your extra workload, shall we sit?" He asked pulling out one of the chairs from the empty table beside them. He had selected a simulation of an open air restaurant on the beach from a country called Greece of earth. Claire smiled and took her seat placing her napkin in her lap as Isaac sat down himself. The waiter came over and poured wine before leaving them some menus.

"How was your day…dear?" Isaac asked, employing some of the terms of endearment he had learned from his study of human relationship. Claire's lips twitched up into an amused smile

"Well apart from being busy it wasn't too bad I got a request from Union Central to write a paper on Xelayan bone density. How about you, how was your day dear" she teased. Teasing as he had learned was a good humoured exchange between human couples.

"I attended the meeting on Mino with the Captain and Lieutenants Bortus and Kiali, then I studied the planet's surrogate program. After that I returned to the ship to do more research and fulfil my regular duties''.

"The Mino's surrogates program is fascinating," she agreed. She had been on the first landing party to Mino and had examined both the active and inactive surrogates. Isaac waited until after Claire had eaten her main meal before he brought up his idea. He found humans functioned better and were less emotional once they had eaten.

"I have something to discuss with you" He began. Claire paused looking up from the dessert menu giving him a curious look

"Okay, what's up?"

"I know you were disappointed when I was unable to keep my emotions and you declined my offer to erase my memory as you wanted to keep as you put it my soul"

"Yes…" she replied seemingly concerned with where the conversation was going. He knew that the choice she had to make still caused her some sadness.

"After studying the surrogate process on Mino and re-examining Dr Villka and Timmis's research I have concluded that my consciousness could be transferred into a surrogate body so that I could function as a human being both physically and emotionally" He explained. Claire looked stunned and was unable to speak for several moments, so Isaac decided to continue

"I know communication, especially about big decisions, is important for relationships. Therefore I wanted to discuss this with you before I go ahead with the procedure". Claire raised her eyebrows at his statement and found her voice again

"It sounds like you have already made up your mind. Isaac I can't ask you to do this for me again" she took his hand in hers and squeezed gently.

"As wonderful as those few minutes were when you had your emotions I felt tremendous guilt over asking you to do that for me"

"You are not asking me to do anything therefore your argument is invalid" he squeezed her hand back something he had noted that she always seemed to enjoy.

"As with our wedding I have reasoned that this procedure will improve the productivity and stability of our relationship. It would also allow me to study and observe the full human experience. However I will not go through with the procedure if you oppose it". She considered his words for a moment

"But Isaac this is not like before you wouldn't just have human emotions you'd experience the physical side as well. Discomfort, sickness, pain"

"Yes as well as comfort, warmth and pleasure" he retorted watching her lips curl in amusement as he said pleasure.

"I don't know what to say" she sighed

"Preferably yes"

"Isaac I'm glad you wanted to discuss this with me and value my opinion, but ultimately this is your decision. If this is something you really want no matter my decision it is down to you and how you feel"

"I do not feel….yet" he said tilting his head at her. She laughed at that

"Okay good point, can I have some time to think about this?"

"Of course, now shall we resume the usual pleasantries of our date, perhaps you'd like to order dessert?" He suggested.

"Yes that sounds like a good idea" she agreed, picking back up the menu.

***************

It was a few days later when Claire gave him her answer. They were on their way back to Mino to escort the Representatives to Union Central after a short supply run. Isaac had already told the Captain of his plans and he had gotten them approved by Representative Cam, provided he chose to go forward. They had been very excited at the thought of one of their surrogates being used by a Union officer.

He was sitting on the couch in his and Claire's quarters, which they had moved into after they married. It was slightly larger than her previous quarters with a small room for Isaac when he needed to run diagnostics or recharge. Claire had put on some old earth show about roommates when she suddenly paused the show and turned to him.

"Was that episode not to your liking? If you are bored we could go to the simulator" he questioned.

"No its fine I just wanted to talk to you about the surrogate issue"

"Have you made your decision?"

"I have" she took his hand, he noted that she does this a lot as if she is trying to comfort him.

"Isaac, if you truly want to do this, I will support you completely. But I need to make sure your not just doing this for me"

"I do want to go through with the procedure not just to help progress our relationship but also to learn more about the human experience".

"Okay well we should talk to the Captain tomorrow and once we get back to Mino and pick up the Representatives I will start work with Technician Kin to ensure everything is done safely"

"Very well I shall start my own preparations after we speak to the Captain".

"Do you really think it's going to work?" She asked.

"In theory yes"

"I can't believe this is actually going to happen," she said, eyes shining.

"Indeed" she leant forward and kissed him where his mouth would be another thing she does from time to time. He wonders what it will feel like with his surrogate body.

*********

After their discussion the process started quite quickly. Technician Kin had stayed on board as a temporary crew member after the Union Central meeting but was quickly expressing interest in going to the academy. He had been allowed to set up a small lab on the Orville, and Isaac had shown him his simulated form as a guide for his new surrogate body. He and Kin began work straight away with Isaac focusing on using Dr Vilkas research to make sure he would be able to feel emotion as well as physical sensations. Claire did a full med scan on the growing body everyday to make sure everything was forming correctly and healthily.

A week later they were staring at a fully formed body that looked exactly like his simulated form.

"It's incredible," Claire said, walking slowly around the tube.

"Indeed" Isaac agreed, he turned to Kin "We should start the procedure"

"Wait" Claire interrupted "Maybe we should run a few more tests first".

"All the tests have been run" Isaac replied

"It is a perfect surrogate Doctor" Kin reassured. Claire still looked unsure but nodded

"Okay let's get the body to sickbay, I'd like to complete the procedure there just in case the body has any complications”.

They laid the body out on one of the exam tables, while Isaac laid on the table next to it. Claire finished attaching a monitor to the body while Kin set up the transfer device. Claire turned to face him

"Okay we're all set, you'll be shut down for a few minutes before you wake up in the surrogate body" she explained .

"Should be no more than five minutes" Kin reassured

"Are your ready" Claire asked taking his hand

"Yes please proceed" he responded.

"Okay" she said softly, giving him a gentle kiss before turning and nodding to Kin. The technician began pressing various buttons

"See you soon" Claire whispered.

Then everything went dark….

*********

"Isaac?"

He opened his eyes quickly, shutting them hissing at the bright light that greeted him.

"Lights down to 50%" a voice came from somewhere beside him. He felt someone squeeze his hand

"Try now" the voice said, he slowly opened his eyes again. The light was much dimmer now, he blinked a few times to clear the blurriness from his vision. He was looking up at the med bay ceiling and he could feel…everything.

He felt the smooth material of the examination table beneath him, the warmth of his skin where his arms were pressed against the side of his body and the coldness of the room. The room smelt sterile with a hint of floral perfume. He could hear soft movements and beeping machinery around the room.

Lifting his hand up he slid it over his new face feeling the shapes and lines where it used to be completely smooth. He carried on down his neck and over his chest pausing when he felt a heartbeat. Realizing he'd been instinctively breathing the whole time, he tried to focus on it in and out. When he breathed in his lungs inflated lifting his hand along with his chest then out they deflated and he chest fell. It all felt overwhelming the sights, the smells, the sounds, he felt his breath quicken, becoming more shallow, his chest rising and falling rapidly. Suddenly a face came into view

"Isaac?"

"Claire?" His voice came out in a gasping wheeze. He tried to sit up but she placed her hand against his chest

"Isaac, just take it easy" Claire said, trying to keep him in place.

"Please I need to sit up" he said feeling breathless

"Okay but carefully" she advised. He moved slowly sitting up and turning so his feet were hanging off the table. His breathing was still coming in pants but he couldn't help it, everything was so overwhelming.

"Isaac breathe" Claire instructed, taking his hand again, a gesture he could now appreciate the comfort of fully.

"I'm having difficulty, is there something wrong with the body?" he questioned, looking at her desperately. She shook her head

"The body is fine, I think you're just overwhelmed at the moment by everything you're experiencing" she explained. He relaxed a little knowing there was nothing wrong but he still felt like there was no air. Claire placed a gentle hand on his shoulder

"Take a deep breath and hold it for 10 seconds" she instructed softly. He did as he said letting his lungs fill and holding it, she counted down the seconds for him.

"Now breathe out nice and slow" he let the breath go feeling a little better

"Now do it again" she had him repeat the action a few more times till he calmed down.

"Thank you I feel better" she smiled at him reaching out to cradle his face gently, he leaned into the touch with a contented sigh. He loved her so much, she always made everything better. The rush of emotion overwhelmed him again and he felt tears stinging his eyes. He launched himself forward burying his face in her neck as the tears started to fall, she made a startled noise before recovering and pulling him closer stroking a hand up and down his back. They stayed that way for a few moments.

As they separated Isaac quickly swiped away the tears streaked across his face. He felt embarrassed by his reaction and need to be comforted like a child.

"I'm sorry its just….a lot" he apologized

"No apologies necessary I can only imagine how disorientating this must be for you". He looked up at her with a smile

"I love you" her face lit up with a smile that made him feel warm inside.

"I love you too" she replied, leaning down to kiss him gently. Kissing her in this body felt amazing, her soft lips pressed against his, the way she sucked his bottom lip slightly. He felt warmth spread throughout his new body. She pulled away chuckling as he tried to chase her lips, she humored him with a few more kisses before placing a hand gently against his chest.

"Okay we'll have plenty of time for that later" she promised. He felt desperate to lay with her to hold her, to kiss her more to have them sleep in each other's arms.

"Can we go back to our quarters?" he asked

"Soon I just need to get Kin back in here to check everything over just to be sure" she said moving towards the door. As she moved away Isaac realized how cold it was in the room and realized he was only wearing a pair of briefs they had put the body in for the sake of modesty.

"Wait" he said, suddenly feeling very self conscious.

"Could I have some clothes first?" he asked, wrapping his arms around himself. Claire paused turning back to him

"Of course I had some put in my office for when you woke up" She disappeared into the small room before returning with a small neatly folded pile of clothes. He pushed himself off the table onto his slightly shaking legs to get dressed. He felt much better in the soft gray trousers and the long sleeved white top she had chosen.

"Okay I'm ready"

***********

Once Kin had finished his tests and determined that the procedure had gone to plan, Isaac found himself feeling restless and eager to leave sickbay. Claire took him by the hand and led him back to their quarters. As soon as they were through the door Ty rushed towards them

"Isaac" he cried excitedly, throwing his arms around Isaacs middle. He hugged the young boy back smiling as Ty grinned up at him, Marcus appeared beside them

"This is weird" he commented looking Isaac up and down.

"Indeed" Isaac agreed "It is going to be a big adjustment"

"We'll get through it together," Claire said, squeezing his shoulder. Suddenly his stomach made a strange noise

"I do believe I am hungry" he grinned. Claire laughed

"Well okay it is dinner time, what would you like to try first?" She asked. He thought about it for a moment

"I don't know" he looked at Ty

"What is your favourite food Ty?"

"Mac and cheese" he replied, smiling from ear to ear.

"Yesss moms mac and cheese is the best" Marcus agreed.

"Very well I would like to try mac and cheese"

"Okay let me get started, perhaps you should drink something first I'll grab you some water" she said walking over to the synthesizer. He hadn't realized how thirsty he was until he took his first sip; he guzzled it down despite Claire's warning to take it slow. Once he was finished he got another but sipped this one slowly while he sat at the table.

While they waited for dinner Ty showed him a recent school project he had made about different earth landmarks. He complimented Ty on his Eiffel Tower model and offered some improvements to the map. It felt good encouraging him and watching his face light up. He also spoke to Marcus about how school was going for him but he was more reserved, seemingly still feeling weird about Isaac suddenly being human,

“Okay dinner is served” Claire called. They all gathered around the table, the aroma of cheese and pasta filled the air.

“This smells very appetizing” He commented picking up his fork, He took a few moments to spear a few bits of pasta onto his fork not used to using the utensil. As soon as he put the bite into his mouth flavour exploded over his tongue

“This is amazing!” he grinned.

“It's just mac and cheese” Claire laughed as Isaac kept eating, enjoying every mouthful.

“Yeah but mom its your mac and cheese” Marcus commented

“I can see why its your favourite Ty” Isaac said

“I wonder what your favourite food will be” Ty asked

“I can’t wait to find out”.

*********************************

After dinner he and Claire decided to take a walk to the bridge to show the crew his new appearance.

“Wow Isaac you look great although it is certainly going to take some getting used too” The Captain commented

“I didn't think we’d ever see this look outside the simulator” Kelly commented

“It's freaky,'' Lamar said circling him slowly he stopped quickly when Claire shot him an angry look

“But er….. you look good man” he patted Isaac n the shoulder.

“I understand it will take some getting used to” Isaac said

“Maybe now we can finally have a proper prank war when nobody gets their leg cut off” Gordan grinned. Isaac laughed loudly

“I am sorry about that” he apologized still smiling

“Hey it was still one of the funniest pranks i've ever seen” The lieutenant smirked.

“How will you defend yourself in battle now that you are human” Bortus questioned

“That doesn't matter right now” Tala scolded him “I think it's really romantic how you can finally feel the love between you and Claire” she smiled warmly.

“Thank you commander it feels wonderful” he smiled, linking hands with Claire.

They chatted for a few more minutes before he suddenly felt very tired, Claire seemed to sense this and wrapped one arm around him

“Well I think we should be going, it's getting late” She said to the group. Isaac was grateful she’d said something, he was feeling more and more drained as time went on.

“I can return to my normal duties tomorrow” he assured the Captain and first officer. Claire was about to interject when Kelly spoke up

“Isaac you should take some this is a big adjustment for you”

“She’s right” the Captain agreed.

“You need to take some time, in fact I'm ordering you to stay off duty until you have been physically and psychologically cleared by doctor Finn. Do I make myself clear” Ed asked.

“Yes Captain” Isaac agreed

“Come on you lets get some rest” Claire said with a smile taking his hand and leading him back out into the hallway.

When they got back to their quarters he sat down on the bed while Claire went to check on the boys. She came back a few moments later holding some pyjamas for him. They quickly gt changed and settled into bed

“How was your first day as a human?” she asked, stroking his cheek.

“Short but wonderful” He smiled, grabbing her hand and kissing it lightly, she smiled leaning forward to kiss him but before she could he yawned loudly.

“I’m sorry” he murmured Blinking slowly

“Nothing to be sorry for” she assured giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

“Get some sleep I love you”

“I love you too” he replied before his eyes slipped shut and he was soundly asleep.

Competition #1 | Spill the Tea (5/10)

Nina: Oop, not what he can do with that tongue! I think we can officially say that Hikaru has that magic touch: he has to with the way he’s got Camryn talking. We’re making our way swiftly through the rest of the islanders facts, and it seems like our contestants have hit their stride when it comes to making those guesses. This group has really gotten a good sense of each other in just three short days. But do they know each other well enough to anticipate what’s coming next...?

@regalllove @nilonne @slothseasims @storiesbyjes2g @ommsims @morrigan-sims

Beginning | Previous | Next

Frankie: [“This boy has had a long streak of older wealthy lovers.]

Yana: Joey? He seems like the playboy type.

Manny: Nah, I think I know exactly the type to get down like that.

Frankie: [That answer is correct!]

Tucker: [grumbling to himself]

Yana: [Nice guess! How’d you know?]

Manny: Boy’s been telling stories about his travels since we got in here, but has no work experience? Easily some type of gigolo or sugar baby.

Frankie: [“This girl was a math major before switching to her current profession.” Looks like Ramone has locked in Camryn…and that is correct!]

Tori: [Never would have guessed you’d be a math major.]

Camryn: Which is why I switched to performance arts after my first semester. I don’t know what possessed me to think I was some math whiz with my C+ average in calculus.

Frankie: [“This boy’s zodiac sign is scorpio.” And Camryn’s guess of Hikaru is correct! What a shocker *laughs*]

[everyone cheering]

Felicity: Damn, girl. You actually looked like you were enjoying that.

Camryn: I guess Hikaru makes up for what he lacks in words with what he he can do with that tongue...

Venus scorpio venus aquarius info

A Venus in Scorpio loves sex and wants it often. The combination of Venus and Scorpio traits makes a man with intense and indulgent sexual energy. To keep things interesting, explore sexual taboos and kinks with him (he loves anything out of the mainstream) and experiment with role playing and new toys.

This man likes to be in control in the bedroom. Try some role playing scenarios with different power dynamics to mix things up and take charge from time to time.

Whispering naughty or emotional comments in his ear during sex is a huge turn on for him.

Sex is very important to him and he views it as a way to express his emotions. He’s usually looking for a meaningful sex connection and isn’t prone to flings or one night stands.[5]

When Venus is in Aquarius we're more attracted to brains than bods. "Romantic interest may arise in the process of intellectual communication with an extraordinary person, often endowed with some unusual abilities or having an unusual profession," says Yana Yanovich, an astrologer at Nebula.

i... i will keep this in mind, thank you very much 👀

Character questions.

((These are a bunch of questions I snatched from this site. Though I'd love to RP as Yana someday, I want to explore her character more!))

You’re at a bar when the one person you don’t want to see walks in. Who are they? How do you react? I make note of them but ignore them.

How would you react if you were catcalled? I would pause for a moment, before turning around and flashing a smile. It won't be a nice one - I'll be glowering at them. I tend to intimidate people, so it should serve as warning enough.

How would you react if you saw a friend who owes you money spending frivolously? I would approach them and ask when they intend to pay me back. I do not take kindly to being taken advantage of, however, I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt unless they had pushed for it. (Why would you be desperate for money, then spend it like nothing?) Depending on what they say, I might take their word for it if they had simply forgotten, but if it's a recent loan or I can tell they're lying, I won't be offering any more money or time to them.

Your friends are speaking unfairly about a mutual friend. Do you speak up? I wouldn't be happy hearing it, but I don't know what happened between them. I'd likely keep it to myself, but if what they were saying ran past the line of fairness, then I may speak up.

How would you react if you witnessed a victimless crime? It doesn't phase me. As long as no one is harmed, why should it?

What would you do if someone brought up your biggest insecurity in front of a crowd of strangers? I'd keep an expressionless gaze while trying to quell my feelings of shock and embarassment. I would then downplay it, or perhaps not say anything at all, hoping we move on to another topic.

How would you respond to an apology from somebody you still can’t forgive? I look past many things. A lot does not get to me or phase me, and often, I am able to put things past me even if harm comes to my person. I know it often isn't personal. However, what can't I forgive? What is personal enough that I can't look past it? .. … Harm to my loved ones. The harm that was wrought upon me and my family from back then. Harm that falls upon children and innocent ones. Harm that I cannot forgive in the stead of others. Harm that is meant personally and continually to me.

How would you break up with someone? I've never been in a relationship. Still, it hurts to think about parting. I don't think I would want to. But if we fell out of love, it's inevitable, isn't it? We couldn't hold on anymore. I personally struggle to confront emotional topics... if I really loved this person, I would like to think I would tell them but if the cirumstances were harder than that, I think I might just fade out instead.

If you won the lottery, how would it change your life? I suppose I wouldn't need to work anymore. I could leave everything behind and relocate elsewhere, chase a far tamer lifestyle. Perhaps I could take something up in the culinary world.

Would you trade ten years of your life to be richer? Hm. My life may already be cut short given my profession, but I suppose if I had money, I would not be limited to such a lifestyle. Then again, I am still bound to an organization… I might not be able to completely cut myself from it, i.e., I'd likely be sought out again, whether for service or elimination.

How about to be more beautiful? Could I get any better-looking than this?

More intelligent? Respectfully, I don't possess the title I do without reason.

What do you think about in the shower? I prefer using it to simply relax or focus on getting clean.

Do you stay up late or wake up early? I often wake up early, but how late I'm up often depends on where I am and what I'm doing.

What do you do if you can’t sleep? I read, browse the net, or work out.

Who or what do you turn to when you’re upset? I don't have anyone like that. Though, I suppose that's not exactly true - not at the moment, at least. Where I am currently is an old…friend of mine, someone whom I've gone to many times when I was much younger. And I suppose I have another old friend, too.

Are you more of a text person or a phone call person? Why? I don't mind texting, but I prefer phone-calls and in-person meets unless I am close with this person.

What does your morning routine look like? I wake up, dress myself, make the bed, make something to eat, clean up after myself, and then leave for the day. If I have some leisure time, I may sit and read or bake.

What’s the weirdest job you would be willing to do? ...laundry? ((off the top of her head, since she's also done menial type errands for others (on her paycheck), though laundry might feel weird since it's so personal and odd considering she's well…an assassin))

What’s a job you would never consider, no matter how good the pay? Prostitution. I don't want to have sex with someone I'm not attracted to.

How do you feel in large groups versus small ones? Admittedly, I prefer smaller gatherings. It's easier to keep track of the conversation and add to it. I also find it more comfortable when the people attending are those familiar to me.

Who was the last person you obsessively stalked on social media? I don't use social media.

What was the last book you read? Did you like it? Why or why not? ((She'd tell you, but I personally don't know what book to pick since I don't read them often myself))

@breaksmen inquired: i want to assure you i remain as cold and heartless as the first day we met.

‘𝐖𝐄𝐃𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘’ 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐈𝐈. ⤷ Accepting!

“Well, if you insist.” Wanda said, with a shrug. She couldn’t understand why the Black Widow or former Black Widow operatives had to have this. It could be the profession, the line of espionage, could make anyone cold and heartless over time. Wanda could only just nod, she could not force Yana to change that mindset, but she did hope that some influence on Wanda’s part could just get her to open her heart and thaw out the icy persona. “I don’t think you need to be that when I have seen how you really are, you’re a kind person. Please don’t hide that side of yourself.”

“I crossed/have crossed (the) ocean(s)…”

Often in order to convey a message, certain phrases are used. No wonder, apart from the images, fans who ship S and Bard are celebrating, yours truly included, in Yana T’s latest chapter.

In 1992, Francis Ford Coppola’s version of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” touched the subject of reincarnation between Mina Murray (who soon to be married to Jonathan Harker) and Vlad Dracul, who became Count Dracula in the Victorian times.

In it, Count Dracula professed his intention and love for Mina. His will to find her. Again.

“I have crossed oceans of time to find you.”

In Yana’s latest work, Chapter 180, “The Butler, Hiring,” S uttered these:

“I crossed the ocean in search of superior American talent. Then I happened to hear a story of a private warrior who has fought many fierce battles against the natives, but always returns from the battlefields alive. So I had to see you.”

I probably am chasing rainbows here, but it is amusing to read the dialogue. S’ determination to find the right man to lead their private army is charmingly romantic.

✧° ┊┊ PROMPTED // Not Accepting!

☒ Is there any sort of behavior towards your muse (ic or ooc) that you simply cannot stand?

... You know what? There’s a lot about his general behavior that is just Not Good™ considering he’s not exactly a very kind individual. But I think what can’t stand about him his feigned humbleness. Obviously he’s supposed to act a certain way considering his profession, and acting improper at the wrong times would not only paint him in a bad light, but also bring a bad reputation to the Phantomhive name since he’s working for that household. Had it been almost anybody else, the feigned humbleness wouldn’t be so much of an issue considering it comes with the territory of working as a servant. But this is Sebastian. His narcissism is through the roof at all times, he loves whatever positive attention he can get --- and to just wave it off in a humble manner when I know he’s internally all like “yeah, I know, I’m awesome 😎” honestly annoys me like fuck.

.... And yet I allow it because I’m simping more for this man than words could ever describe.

✄ What is an idea you originally had in mind for your muse, but ended up scrapping? Why?

I know I had like... some weird ass shit going on for him back in early 2020. I sort of got a bit of a tunnel-vision on the meaning behind his last name and wanted to develop that more. Like yeah, I know that his last name originates from the Japanese word “mikaeri” ( repayment ), and I know what Yana had in mind when giving him that name. But outside Japanese origins, the name have another meaning, and I kind of went down that path for a while and started to build his entire character from the ground. o!Ciel only gave him his first name, and I guess I was at the time just curious what had brought Sebastian to choose this last name out of all names. Obviously it was to signify their contract, but considering I was ( and still am to be honest ) grasping for bread crumbs about Sebastian’s past and whatnot, I guess I wanted to use his name as an excuse to give him a past that we will most likely never learn about in canon ( or at least not anytime soon ). I still kept the ‘repayment’ thing though since I mostly prefer to keep whatever canon gives me, but I guess I used that other meaning behind the name as a foundation of sorts, and the ‘repayment’ part would slowly with time become more relevant than what it was initially about.

For context:

Michaelis: Who is like God

The surname Michaelis, in which the ending "-is" means "son of", can derive from the biblical Michael or Michal. Michael was one of four archangels who surrounded the throne of God. The name means "who is like God" or "Godly".

....... Yeah, uh. Basically, I just made him a fallen angel that became a demon after spending too much time in hell or something like that. At first I kinda liked it, especially since I now had an ‘excuse’ or explanation to why on Earth he’s so fucking OP ( and with the absence of other demons in the manga, I couldn’t really make out if it was just him that was like that or if all demons are just as OP as he is ). I scrapped the idea after a while though because I kind of realized that I didn’t really vibe with the idea of him ever being anything else but a demon --- especially since he claims to be “a demon to the core”. After deciding that I wanted to include the existence of other demons as they are portrayed in the second season of the anime, this whole idea was completely tossed out the window.

I guess for a closed AU between myself and another partner it’s a neat idea, but it’s not something I want to include in his default portrayal. I’m quite happy with what I have so far, and I enjoy taking what canon gives me and decide for myself if I want to make any adjustments to it or not.

Ⅶ If you have multiple blogs and/or muses, which one is your favorite? Why?

I think I have 4 blogs right now, but it’s only this one that is somewhat active at the moment. 3 single muses and one multimuse. But it’s only Sebastian’s blog that is currently somewhat active. I... can’t really just pick and choose which blog is my favorite, since I write all of these muses because I love them. But I guess considering Sebastian’s is the one I’ve kept around the longest and the one I keep coming back to, I think that says a lot.

❉ What is a dream AU for you? If you haven’t done it yet, why not?

Uhhh...... I don’t know??? I honestly don’t do AUs that often, but mostly because most AUs I’ve done are ship-related, and I don’t throw myself into the shipping-scene in RP very often. I do have a couple of AU ideas for him that I’d like to do sometime, and I do have a few open AUs on my blog that anyone can interact with if they want to, but I feel like I get the most out of AUs when I get to create them with somebody else that I enjoy writing with. To me, they feel more meaningful that way. And at that point, any AU I get to create with a partner is like a mini-dream AU for me.

❝ ❞ Is it easy for you to write dialog for your muse? Do their speech patterns come naturally to you while writing?

I usually don’t have much issues with it, but I guess it depends on the nature of the scenario of a plot/thread. Sometimes he has a lot to say, and sometimes he just have very little. Regardless of how much or little he has to say though, he almost always have the more to think about. His mind is never resting, he has an opinion on almost everything and everyone, but obviously doesn’t always voice it and he usually have reasons for not saying certain things ( or not saying certain things at a certain time ). I tend to struggle a bit with dialog when I write him in a scenario he hasn’t been in before, but I think that has more to do with struggling to figure out how he would act in general in an unfamiliar setting or scenario.

❀ What is a muse you want to play but haven’t? Why haven’t you played them yet?

Hnnnggg.... for a good while now, I’ve been wanting to write Noé or Vanitas from VnC. But I haven’t really taken that step yet because I want to catch up with the manga first, because I usually don’t feel confident writing a new character that I don’t have all the info ( there is to gain ) on yet. I’ve watched the first season of the anime though, but I still feel like it would be more rewarding to read the source material.
