Instead of working on my thesis, I am drawing Swedish christ superstar... I should not have spent that much time drawing a shopping cart.

And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!”And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.

The Chosen ABCs of Romance | Simon the Zealot

ABCs Master List

Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Simon is always very appreciative whenever you help him out with his workouts. You either keep time or draw tally marks in the sand. In the meantime, he lets you talk about anything you’d like, which he finds adorable. He loves listening to you ramble on about the things you’re passionate about, making maintaining his physique a whole lot more fun. He even convinces you to sit on his back while he’s doing push-ups, making you shriek and giggle like a teenager in love.

Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

Something that Simon admires you for is the way your hair shines in the morning sun. Even though you are often wearing a veil, he can still see the way dawn reflects from it whenever you sit with him during the sunrise. The way you appear so relaxed around him makes him swoon, too. You are just so disarming to him.

Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

This man is a true protector, making it so that the son of Zebulon will patiently help you through any anxiety you’re experiencing without pressuring you about it. He will not rest until you are fully back to your senses again, making sure that you are completely comfortable.

Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Although he wouldn’t admit it, he pictures himself becoming a sappy, gentle father who would do anything for his children. However, he still vows to teach them how to protect themselves, no matter if they are boys or girls.

Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Being quite an assertive person in general, Simon is a natural leader and easily guides you through life with him. This is also reflected in his protective nature, which you do not mind at all, since he makes you feel incredibly safe.

Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

Frankly, Simon can be a little stubborn from time to time, so arguments sometimes tend to take a little longer to be resolved than necessary. It often involves him giving you the silent treatment and not addressing it. After all, he isn’t used to being vulnerable and showing his emotions to the outside world. The longer you are together, though, the better he becomes at showing it.

Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

Zee shows you that he loves you through his actions rather than his words. He knows he’s a very lucky man and cherishes you greatly, making sure that you can sense his protection and love for you. Even if he doesn’t say it out loud, it is obvious that you mean everything to him.

Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

They wouldn’t necessarily be ‘secrets’, but Simon does sometimes have a hard time expressing what he feels and needs. With the right amount of support, he will eventually open up more. He is very grateful for your patience when it comes to matters like that.

Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helping them overcome personal problems?

As said before, Simon learns to let his emotions show more often. You teach him that being vulnerable does not equal being weak and that men are allowed to cry, too. Time and time again, he is amazed at how you never judge him whenever he shows vulnerability.

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

Yes, he can become jealous quite easily. His vigilant nature has him on edge whenever another man is speaking to you, especially if they seem to be interested in you. He will be watching you two like a hawk and know when to intervene by simply sliding an arm around your waist.

Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

In spite of not having a lot of experience, Zee is quite the nice kisser. Even though it takes some time to warm up every time, he gets more loose with it as it carries on, making for a relaxed, nice moment.

Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

Zee would confess to you during a morning walk. He didn’t intend to, but he accidentally complimented you on how beautiful you are when the sunlight hits you in a certain way. The words made you blush and laugh, and you asked out loud if he liked you. Reduced to a stuttering mess, he felt like he had no choice than to admit to it, but the nerves faded as soon as you reciprocated these feelings.

Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

Truthfully, he hadn’t expected to one day see himself become a family man when he joined the Zealots in his teenage years. However, ever since he laid eyes on you, he knew instantly that you were the one for him. With you, he wants it all. Simon will become a true father, his protectiveness extending to his children.

Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?

His preferred nickname for you is ‘sunshine’, whereas you call him ‘my strength’. 

On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

When he realised he liked you as more than a friend, Simon was convinced that you were into Big James, making for a few very awkward encounters. After all, it was untrue that you were into the older son of Zebedee, embarrassing Simon immensely once he found out that he had been snippy towards James for nothing. Shortly after that, basically everyone knew about his crush on you.

PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

Although he likes to speak about you to others about how amazing you are to him, he isn’t big on the PDA. Zee likes the intimate moments to remain private, although an occasional kiss on the back of your hand is not out of the question.

Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

Whenever your feet hurt during long trips, he allows you to ride on his back for a while. Don’t call him your ‘noble steed’, though. You did that once and he instantly had to walk by yourself again.

Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

You might find flowers at your bedside every now and then, especially if he got up before you to work out. He sometimes leaves you little notes, too.

Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Zee often asks how he can help you in achieving your goals in life. He is more of a practical person than you are, making it so that he often aims to assist you in a physical way. However, if your dreams in life are more abstract, he will naturally adapt his guidance to that as well.

Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice up your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

The two of you greatly appreciate trying new things to keep things interesting, like planning surprise dates or trying out new recipes. 

Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

During your many, many talks about everything, there is little about you he doesn’t know. Although not an empath by nature, Simon is growing softer and kinder around you the more time passes. He learns the importance of showing emotions and being sensitive to your needs so that he can serve you better.

Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it worth in comparison to other things in their life?

There is no future Zee wants if it doesn’t have you in it. He will make sure to establish your worth to him time and time again, mainly making this clear through his actions towards you.

Wild Card - A random fluff headcanon.

Knowing how to handle a blade, Simon is aware of how to defend himself and is of the opinion that women should be able to fight, too. So, he will wake you up before dawn to come and train with him. It’s adorable to see you try to use a knife and swing it against the air, but he gets to touch your waist and arms to make sure your posture is correct, also making the whole thing quite intimate.

XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

He can totally get lost in how your body fits with his whenever you’re cuddling. He is a bit taller than you, and his strength makes it so that he is like a protective blanket of heat. He adores it whenever you sit in his lap so that he can kiss the top of your head whilst playing with your hair.

Yearning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

He pretends to not be affected by it and does a poor job of hiding it. It causes a lot of amusement with the others whenever they ask if he is missing you and he wryly states that he is fine, even though he is obviously thinking about you constantly. 

Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

Being a former Zealot, Simon knows everything about devotion. Now that he is following the Messiah and has met you, he is devoted to both of you in his own way - to Jesus as his Lord, and to you as his lover.

Commissioning of the Twelve

The Chosen (Two by Two, S3E2): Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

This chapter opens with Jesus calling some of his disciples and sending them out to preach and heal.

This chapter is also known as the Mission Discourse, the Apostolic Discourse, or the Little Commission, in contrast to the Great Commission at the end of the gospel.

Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. - Matthew 10:1-4 NIV

[ghostsmp3]

Matthew 5:3-12a (NIV): Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven.

Me: oh… OH MY GOSH IT IS SIMON Z

ITS OUR BOY

[stuff-the-chosen-didnt-say]

Zee: How do you deal with mortality? 

Big James: Violent outbursts. 

Thomas: I don’t. 

John: Thanks to denial, I’m immortal.

How to Request

I have decided that I will write for The Chosen. Maybe a good decision, maybe a bad decision. But here we are.

This seems like overkill right now if I’m honest, but I might thank myself later.

As of this moment, I do not have a masterlist, however, I do tag all of my writings so you can search them and read them all.

Just search:

fxshrxfmxn writings

Or

fxshrxfmxn fanfic

And they should all be made available to you to find relatively easily💖

To make things a bit easier for me and how I want to stay within my beliefs, I’m setting up guidelines for requesting writing from me for The Chosen.

Before I begin, it is important that we all understand that I am writing for the storyline of The Chosen. Each event in The Chosen was either spun by the writers and directors OR pulled from the Bible itself. I am writing for the character that the actors in the show portray, not the real people themselves. The Bible and the Chosen, to me, are separate things and I will be treating them as such. (I am for sure okay with talking about scripture itself, but in a different kind of context.)

Anyways…

With traditionally romantic writings, things tend to be a bit touchy and comfy. That’s fine, I love that. Lord knows, I will be huggy with my future other half before marriage(I don’t think I could just not touch them, luckily our current culture allows for that.)

But the culture in bible time was very different. The parents would arrange with the parents, or the parents would talk to the guy. There wasn’t dating as it is now, certainly not premarital kissing or hugging, not in public anyways, because it was seen as improper. Also pretty much no touching. So, I really want to try and keep things more proper.

In A Misunderstanding (my fic about John the Beloved) I do think that’s the most contact I will allow for “romantic” fics, that I write. Not entirely true to the proper culture back then, but less scandalous, y’know?

(I might budge the line occasionally, but if it doesn’t feel right, I just won’t write it. I will for sure communicate that to the requester.)

That being said, I have only written for John so far, I will write for anyone in the show. I am female, so anything “romantic”, I will only write for the men in the show(anyone BUT Jesus(obviously)), and beyond that if you want just a chill fic about hanging with the Marys and Ramah and Tamar, I can do that. I love writing fanservice, just shenanigans and things of that nature are super fun. Give me a challenge, I love those.

So: Keep it E for everyone, not even PG. Minimal hand holding; maybe a few hugs. No kissing on the mouth and certainly no NSFW. Men and women, who were not married, weren’t allowed to be alone together. So that is the way my fics will be.

(Not telling other people they shouldn’t be writing it, (you write what you like and are comfortable with) I am just setting a personal standard for myself and will be keeping to it.)

I am a female and, as this is already out of my comfort zone, will only be writing from the female perspective.

NO:

-NSFW

-Mouth to Mouth(kissing)(unless it’s a marriage fic, which Idek if I’m comfortable writing that yet)(idk why either so don’t ask)

-No being completely alone with the opposite sex

-if the character is married or already betrothed in the show, please keep the request platonic.

-edit: 10/23 anything same sex romantic is a no as well. I will not change my mind. Any messages/comments will be deleted/reported and you will be blocked if you harass me about it. We can discuss things without those coming into the mix.

YES:

-Shenanigans(practical jokes and things of that nature, family friendly comedy stuff)

- Girl time with the female disciples

-Found family is my favorite trope, so anything about learning to cohabitate in a camp with a bunch of Christ’s followers? Yes, please.

-prompts about Christ accepting you as you are, calling you to follow him and helping you turn from old lifestyles are fics that I think can be very healing. (Things like this I will be discerning on a prompt to prompt basis)

Characters I will write for at least once:

Simon Peter(platonic only please)

Simon Z

Thomas(platonic only please)

Andrew

Matthew(either romantic or platonic for now until we actually figure out where his relationship with Mary is going)

Nathaniel

Thaddeus

Big James

Little James

John the Beloved(of course)

Judas(tentatively because I have a personal bias to get over(I had always thought of him as the villain(which isn’t the case))

Philip

Any of the girls(Mary, Mary M., Ramah, Tamar, Eden, Salome)(platonic only please)

Jesus(platonic only please(I shouldn’t have to say that, but there’s always someone)

Potentially Quintus, Atticus, and/or Gaius(platonic only please) (I would actually prefer platonic for all three, but I will use discernment on a prompt by prompt basis.)

TL;DR: Every prompt that comes to me, I will use my own discernment for whether I am comfortable or not with writing it, all I ask is that you be respectful if your prompt is not answered the way you want it to be. If you request something that goes against everything on the “NO” list, your request will be discarded, so I recommend you at least read that bit.

Tutorial on how to request anything from me:

Use the ask button! Or send me a message! Both are located in the upper right hand corner for mobile. I don’t use a computer, so I’m not sure where those buttons are at on the computer.

I also prefer dialogue prompts have at least two bits of dialogue and a genre with it, just for a bit more guidance on what you want.

Will do headcanons, but if you could say whether you want separate headcanons or just a group headcanon so that I give you exactly what you want and don’t have to guess, that’d be great.

I love you so much because Jesus loves you so much and wants the best for you. I respect you as a person, the way Jesus respects you and ask that you extend me the same courtesy.

Blessings to each and every one of you. 💗✨🫶🏻
