rysa and ophelia 23 24 25 GO

idk who rysa is but I will answer this question for rsya and ophelia. what a crazy combo.

23 (do they have any mutual friends/mutual enemies?) this is so interesting since the relationships between all the majaerajji is rich and deep and billions of years old and it's hard to distinguish familial platonic psychosexual romantic enemy stuff. BUT since rsya was such a loser she really only had one friend (they were toeing the line between friends and family and romantic partners kinda. call them soulmates) and fifi was such a weirdo she only had like two friends (actually just like a sex throuple). post stability epoch rsya loses her one friend (adrascia) and they become sort of enemies which I suppose makes adrascia a mutual enemy of theirs since adrascia really really hates fifi on account of all the murder and tortue and she really hates rsya on account of being friends with ery.

SPEAKING OF ERY let me twist this into talking abt ery and rsya. on the surface ery and rsya are just weird sisters and friends and then you look a bit closer and it's this crazy cesspit of emotional manipulation abuse and support and resentment and pity kinda. so rsya sees ery as her friend but you know. they SHOULD be enemies. they used to be enemies. rsya still resents ery for what she's done (more murder and torture) and for being the reason she lost her only friend (adrascia) and for manipulating her into helping creating klle which means most of her other sisters want nothing to do with her and she's just kinda. forced to rely on ery for emotional support bc ery won't judge her. there are a lot of parallels to erygora in that way. sigh. ophelia also hates ery a little bit but not much since you can't be friends (read: dark mentorship) with gora and hate ery. ophelia regards ery with the same detached disdain she views most ppl with. ery however really really hates fifi so this makes erykwana a really really fucked up mutual enemy. kind of.

they also have a lot of interaction with mortals especially a really fucked up history with chastity!! now fifi has a little less detachment towards chastity after pretending to be her daughter for nearly 4 months and she gets a real kick out of tormenting her ("don't be silly chastity I would never hurt you you're like family to me") but she still feels a lot of. general derision towards her. so fifi and chastity are enemies. chastity and rsya is a lot more complex but mainly you have rsya trying to support her and chastity really really resenting rsya on account of all the lying and faking suicide and what happened to her daughter. so you could call chastity a mutual enemy too. it's funny bc if you look at the 4 months fifi was pretending to be chastity's daughter and chastity was still grieving nicola (rsya) as a friend ('friend') you could almost consider chastity a mutual friend. haha

24 (How do these two interact with each other in public versus in private?) THIS IS SO INCHRESTING thank you. they would only really interact with each other in public if fifi is threatening a mortal and that's when rsya gets quite angry and defensive. especially depending on the mortal (cough chastity cough grace cough lynnie). but in private when nobody's life/sanity is at stake?? (I would say rsya's emotional stability is at stake but she never fucking had any) rsya just becomes sad and scared and yk. think of her as a curled up woodlouse. fifi also drops the 'nice' act in private since it isn't going to fool rsya but she'll keep it up in public to make the mortals trust her and stuff.

25 (If a stranger saw them together, how would they describe their relationship?) hmm. see in public they'd think 'why is the blue hair one being so mean to the strawberry blonde one' and assume it was kinda a bullying kind of relationship (they'd be right. just have the wrong bully) and it would be very hard to spy on them in private since a) they can read your mind and know you're there and b) most of their private discussions take place in the universe of the gods which is basically impossible to get to lol

I would love your insight because you’re smart and you seem like a pretty positive person. I’m a bit confused as to why E/cho wouldn’t see how Bellamy is in love with Clarke??? She’s a spy, right? Also, are we to believe he’s going to keep E in the dark even after sacrificing everything for Clarke for the 2nd time? Wouldn’t that make him feel guilty? It feels OOC. I wasn’t expecting canon bellarke, but it feels OOC for b/e to still together. It makes E look stupid and B look...a tiny bit mean.

Well firstly you telling me I’m smart and positive actually made me smile like an idiot so thank you!!

What a loaded question. I have two theories regarding Echo. First one is: Grounder culture is brutal, it’s about survival, it’s about war and strategy. She is a war spy. I imagine in that kind of medieval culture (which grounder culture is closest to), romantic love rarely results in fake alliances, or like.. messy war stuff. “Love is weakness.”, after all. Family love is the only important thing: and Echo’s got that figured out. Mushy romanctic love drama that weighs the tides in the big leagues?? I expect it doesn’t happen often. So she’s not trained in that. This explains why she doesn’t get it “as a spy”. Bc once it transcends “in love” and goes to “love”, it’s family, and again, that Echo gets. She knows how incredibly important Clarke is to Bellamy. She just doesn’t understand the nuance. And also: echo never reads people! She reads actions. Once Ryker was in she trusted him blindly, no suspicions, and once he showed he can’t be trusted fully, he was expendable, useless, a danger even. Eliminated. Echo’s never been anticipating people’s actions or intentions, she waits until they do something and then she assumes that’s what they are and continue to be until they prove her otherwise. Clarke leaves Bellamy behind and sides with the enemy? Clarke is a risk and must die. Clarke sacrifices it all to save Bellamy? Clarke is family. done.

So as to why she doesn’t get it as a person with eyes and a brain… which is also the second theory: she is extremely trusting. she’s the kind of person who’s incredibly straight forward with HER emotional relationships, there’s no ulterior motives. So she probably thinks of Bellamy as her boyfriend it’s as simple as that. Sure, his behaviour towards her has changed since they’ve been off the ring because she’s become more closed off, but it has nothing to do with Clarke because she’s like a sister to him, right?

Like… she feels secure in their relationship because the only thing she was insecure about beforehand was Octavia. She never suspected Clarke to be an issue, because she never knew about his feelings and their history- why? BECAUSE HE BASICALLY LIED TO HER. Why would E think that there have been more than friendshippy feelings? because I mean they’d been dating for a while and Clarke had been dead for a while before that and none of her family or Bellamy ever talked about anything “in love” related. (Even while Echo wasn’t in the picture romantically.) That’s very strange. Also Echo still treats Bellamy like her leader.. like she did Roan. And she doesn’t second guess or distrusts her “leaders”. And she’s also accepted Clarke as her leader. Clarke and Bellamy. Co leaders, like siblings. Of course they care about each other? Nothing strange going on at all.

Which brings me to my actual point: Bellamy isn’t a tiny bit mean. BELLAMY IS A TERRIBLE, LYING, EMOTIONALLY CHEATING BOYFRIEND WHO ABUSES ECHO’S BLIND TRUST. Dont get me wrong he’s still my favorite, and I get it… but oh boy does he need to step up his game!

Bellamy never told his gf about the girl he once loved, probably because even when dead he loved Clarke more than Echo, which sucks, so he couldn’t be open about it because it made him feel so guilty. Which.. he feels guilty ALL THE TIME. Dude is so pained. When he patted Echo’s back looking at Clarke, when he exploded at Clarke about how his family is all that matters to him bc he felt as though he betrayed them for Clarke, when he fiddled with Echo’s sword at the campfire in Season 5.. he hasn’t kissed Echo during a reunion since the beginning of S5. 

When he snapped at Echo because he was jealous of the Doctor with Clarke, when she cried and opened up and he looked at her with pity in his eyes, and guilt, and this stupid sense of responsibility. When the only time he kissed her was out of said pity because she needed someone. When he had that look on his face in the rover reunion scene in season 5.

Bellamy is a fucking mess omg. He is constantly on edge, like he seems absolutely unhinged, strung out, confused, in love, in pain. He’s in control half the time and losing it the other half. “We kill them all.” A petty, spiteful, angry “Maybe you haven’t noticed, Clarke, but I don’t need you anymore” Then, screaming at her not to leave him, because nothing makes sense without her, he’s an empty shell without her, has been for 6 years. And you know who helped him?? ECHO. Echo, who’s a good person (as long as youre on her side..), who “was good for him”. Echo, who he doesn’t really love. But I think he wants to. I think this is where the bad boyfriend stuff comes from. He loves Clarke and is constantly torn between being super scared of that and losing himself in it, and then there’s Echo who’s loyal and nice and safe. 

Lastly… I also expected a Becho breakup, but only in an A season bc B seasons are always so action loaded.. if that had happened, it would have gone “By the way let’s break up”, in between fighting and surviving and shit. Breaking someone’s heart sucks, and Bellamy owes Echo honesty and sincerity, so he put it off. And also… he probably doesn’t rly want to break up bc he wants to do right by her or whatever. His guilt is actually a factor I think as to why he HASNT broken up with her… he’s never loved Echo like she deserved to be loved, Clarke was always the one even when dead, so he feels like he owes a huge debt to Echo bc she loved HIM like HE deserved, and now he tries to repay her by living a lie. It’s twisted and stupid lol

But I know a breakup is coming. Because Echo deserves better than Bellamy. Bc he doesn’t love her, never has, never will. He has feelings for her.. but he doesn’t love her. I’m sorry. It’s obvious to even the most casual viewer, two of which have expressed their pity for E without me saying anything. And Bellamy, the damn main character, deserves a love story too. 

Ps this shot through my head while writing this so I made a thing for mrs Echo the blind one lol:

[gothvince]

pls tell us more abt fake reboot lyds/claire?? i'm emotionally attached to this ship now too bc of you and lilliegoat

me and @lilliegoat are doin gods work by getting everyone to stan lydclaire (clairedia??? ship name needs brainstorming)

i wrote like a full fuckin episode plot and it’s so long and rambly i’m. so sorry im just PASSIONATE!!!!!

i have a claire/lydia bonding episode planned in which claire ends up stuck with lydia for a long weekend while her parents are away. beetlejuice comes up with a dumb scheme to make money and sets up this whole stupid summer camp kind of deal to make a quick buck, its super shitty and doesn’t go well and claire’s literally the only kid who shows up lmao. he regrets the plan immediately and he wants to just kick claire out to fend for herself for the weekend because He’s Beetlejuice And Claire’s Mean To His Friend, but lydia’s more kindhearted than he is and figures they cant just leave claire all on her own. because despite how much of a bully she is, she’s a person, and lydia knows what an emotionally distant father is like. so they reluctantly take her in for the weekend.

claire’s super angry/annoyed about it and acts super bratty (but she is genuinely acting out because like, her parents are neglectful and they left her on her own at this shitty summer camp or whatever while they go on a nice vacation together, and she’s hurt and upset and doesn’t understand why her parents never want to spend time with her). like. claire’s parents are super stuck up and they’ve instilled in her that anyone not on their class level is lower than them. the deetzes are rich, so charles and delia have some level of respect from the brewsters even tho they’re still looked down on, but they’re quirky and weird and that’s why they’re very much considered other, lydia especially. so it hurts her that her parents wld not only leave her, but also leave her with a family they all very much dislike. is she on the same level as the deetzes? do her parents think that lowly of her? what is she doing wrong?

so it’s rough for the first day. lydia and beej try a little to bond but they’re shut down immediately and since claires acting like a bully they just. decide they’re not gonna put up with it. so they go and hang out on their own in one of the stupid cabins beej built for this camp. and claire’s all alone, and she tries to convince herself she’s fine but she’s not. and she hears beej and lydia laughing - and she listens in, and they’re having so much fun and it hurts that she’s never had that, you know? like she has friends in the popular girls at school but they aren’t friends in the way beej and lydia are - they don’t do weird stuff and laugh at each other and stop caring what other people think. claire, in all of her relationships, is constantly trying to prove herself. but lydia and beetlejuice don’t have to prove themselves, or act like anyone else - they love each other for who they are. they dont need to change. claire wants that. claire wishes she could experience that.

so, y’know. she’s peering through the keyhole and watching lydia and beetlejuice (who by the way is disguised as betty juice for the majority of this episode, so claire is under the impression that betty’s just a normal girl however weird). and beetlejuice does something supernatural/demonic to make lydia laugh. and claire sees this, and she screams, and they realise she’s been watching them. so. lydia swings open the door and pulls claire inside and she’s like “you can’t tell anyone that beej is a ghost, claire, swear you won’t tell.” beetlejuice is being stupidly threatening in the bg and claire’s just fuckin scared out of her mind.

but she agrees not to tell, and then lyds asks why she was spying on them, and claire admits that she heard how much fun they were having and wanted to join in. and lydia’s shocked by this, but... honestly, she’s like yeah, okay. you can join in. and they teach her the game they’re playing and by the end of the night they’re all having fun and laughing! and the rest of the weekend goes like that!! claire learns to just be herself without caring what anyone thinks - she’s weird and funny and she absolutely loves making lydia laugh, and it’s a fun bonding experience all round. beej is a little reluctant to trust her, but he trusts lydia, so he and claire have kind of a ... shaky truce, where they dont particularly like each other but they’ll be civil and hang out for lydia’s sake. it’s good it’s fun it’s gay we love it.

aaaand then her parents come home. and they see their daughter, laughing and being friends with lydia and betty, dressed a little weird and tacky, just. being herself and having fun and they’re furious. they tell her in no uncertain terms that she better stop messing around right now, young lady, you’re a brewstery, we have a reputation to uphold. and claire dejectedly obeys. immediately switches back to her usual bully persona because that’s what her parents want, right? and they take her home and... that’s the episode.

after that, over the course of the next few eps, claire is back to being her usual self and acts like none of this ever happened. lydia, though, does her best to be nicer and more understanding, and tries to get her to let loose and just be herself because actually, she really fucking likes claire when she’s being herself. in another episode she joins a science project with lydia, bertha and prudence, and from that point it’s a fun slow burn enemies > friends > girlfriends kinda thing.

Can we have more attention on Fenrir? I really want to see your take of him dating in this highschool au. With that in mind, I think Hel is crushing on Ullr. Both of the twins are. Additionally, love this au. It so great

would you like an entire dating sim path for fenrir? if not then idon’t care bc i’m doing it (it’s roughly 1000 words and it’s v messy oops) 

background: fenrir has a bad reputation around the schoolbut he doesn’t care - he’s known for starting fights and generally being stand-off-ish and cold to everyone aside from his sisters and tyr

intro

starts off with you being in a few of his classes, you sit next to each other in maths and that’s how you initially bond when helping him out with algebra and the like. at first he ignores you but over time he begins to open up to you 

even the act just acknowledging him with a simple hi before class means a lot to him

one day he decides to sit next to you at lunch when you’re by yourself. you make light conversation with him, and he rants about a show he’s been watching recently - it’s cute how invested he is and you say that you might start watching it as well…

over time he hangs around you in your other classes more, pairing up with you before your other friends can say anything. you sometimes notice him trailing you awkwardly as he doesn’t know how to start talking to you outside of class and you notice that when you walk to class he’s awfully close to you and seems to stick to you like a bodyguard

(if this was an actual dating sim route this stuff would be over a few weeks or so :P)

special event #1

eventually he asks you to sit with him and his sisters at lunch - you know that he’s very protective about them it’s nice to know that he trusts you enough to talk to them

you’re a bit nervous but you have nothing to fear – light hel is super friendly and sweet, asking lots of questions about you to keep the conversation going

fenrir is embarrassed bc he considers you a friend but he doesn’t know simple things like your favourite colour as you’ve mostly been listening to him in conversation. he does care but he hasn’t had a close friend in forever and needed someone outside his family to talk to

dark hel is a bit cold towards you but she joins in by teasing fenrir. when fenrir goes to the bathroom she interrogates you too see if you’ve got any ulterior motives talking to fenrir but light hel manages to hold her back before he returns dark hel makes it a point to emphasize that he doesn’t try to talk to others often, and she thinks that someone has a crush on you.

at the end of the lunch break fenrir apologises for his sisters (mostly light hel), and he asks you to go out with him to a local shopping centre to hangout. it’s just a casual thing but seeing fenrir lightly blushing makes you wonder if there’s something more to dark hel’s words

first date

when you arrive at the shopping centre you find fenrir rocking a super nice leather jacket - you say that he looks good and he tries to return the compliment but he’s too flustered to say anything

you explore a few stores, but fenrir gets the feeling that you’re being watched by something – while you’re going from store to store he spots his sisters and dad not-so-secretly spying on you two. fenrir drags you into the cinema, trying to get away from them. he quickly buys tickets for the next film showing – it’s a romantic comedy :^)

it’s cold in the cinema, and fenrir offers his jacket toyou. it’s surprisingly comfortable and warm, smelling faintly earth-y. you finish watching the film (you do note that he was trying to wrap his arm around you but when you moved closer to lean against him he had to excuse himself to the bathroom instantly... weird) and decide to go to a nearby arcade to finish off the day. he wins a few prizes for you but you manage to win a little wolf plushie and give it as a gift for his company today.

…and he invites you to come to his house tomorrow!

second date

you arrive at his house and fenrir instantly remarks about the strangeness of his father. you don’t see his father until you walk to back fenrir’s room. loki’s there with a glass pressed against the wall trying to listen to fenrir - you just decide to walk in and not say anything…

basically you spend another day messing around watching movies and playing games~

you end up finding out that he likes being scratched andpetted like a dog much to his great embarrassment. you also notice that the wolf plushie you won for him is on his mantle alongside all his sports awards and pictures of his family - it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy thinking about it

while you’re talking you manage to get on the topic of his behaviour at school and you learn that a big reason why he hasn’t dropped out yet is because of tyr – you’ve seen the pair around school before and you’ve always wondered what their relationship was about (you’ve even got a weird relationship where if you see tyr he gives you a knowing nod of acknowledgement). he says that tyr was the only one (outside of his family duh) to put in the effort to treat him like a real person with respect, everyone else just didn’t care about him or put on a fake act just to be polite to him.

he then thanks you for trying to get to know him even despite his reputation and personality 🥺

cheesy sports event - prologue

when you arrive back at school fenrir is pulled out of class in the afternoon to visit the guidance councillor’s office – he asks you to wait for him at the school gates. he comes back after 10 minutes at the school gates with tyr in tow. tyr makes an offhand remark about you two being a couple, fenrir punches tyr’s arm hard and is all flustered about it and you tease him just a little bit but make sure to hold back before you become the target of tyr as well

fenrir decides to walk home with you even though his house is the other way. he’s stumbling over his words and while you’re glad he’s decided to carry your things you’re really quite confused by his immediate offer to do so. he can’t even look at you half of the time and as you get very well acquainted with the road he tells you about his upcoming football game (side note: i have literally no idea about american football so don’t @ me). of course you accept his offer, and seeing him literally jump for joy in response is all the motivation you need to stick with it

cheesy sports event - game time

friday comes along and smite high is playing at home. you’re sitting with fenrir’s family - they’ve basically accepted you as one of them. they make it their personal goal to tell you about fenrir’s crush on you through poorly disguised hinting - but you know that you can’t just say that you have feelings for him, you have to wait for the right time and even with the universe pointing to all the right signs you’re still uneasy and unsure if he feels the same way

you spend the night cheering wildly for fenrir and the team, and fenrir waves at you when he gets the chance - seeing him in his element makes your cheeks go rosy although you could say you have the same effect on him - you figure it’s the result of you putting a little more effort into your appearance tonight and you hope your outfit compliments your features as your friends say it does

smite high is doing well, but as the game progresses it seems as though the away team gets better and better, catching up with smite high with ease. the game continues on, and it’s down to the final minutes – smite high is down by one point and i’m sure you can guess by now who’s going to score the point ˙ ͜ʟ˙

anyways, smite high wins because of a lucky score by fenrir and everyone cheers for him but he doesn’t care – he finds you in the crowd with his sisters and picks you up, spinning you in his arms. he’s got a wide smile on his face, and says “i could almost kiss you!”

both hels and loki are chanting “do it!” while sigyn just shakes her head in silence. his hands are wrapped around your waist and something about this moment just feels so natural, as if the closeness of your bodies is just how it should be. fenrir’s hot and breathless but so are you, and you want to take the next step so badly and the way his eyes twinkle makes you want to call him yours...

yet he puts you down with a sheepish grin as you’re brought back to reality with the sound of the crowd clapping around you. you suggest that you two go for a walk to cool down and escape the crowd, fenrir giving you a silent nod in agreement. you don’t realise how truly close he is to you and how his hands haven’t left your waist before dark hel complains and says that she wants to see the action happen. light hel and sigyn drag dark hel and loki away before they can spy on you two

before you leave tyr stops you both, giving fenrir a bear hug (which he’s surprised at first but sinks into eventually) and telling him how proud he is of smite high’s star player. he says they’ll talk later and tells him to wash up before exposing you to how bad he smells. fenrir leaves and tyr pulls you aside away from the crowd

he remarks about how you’ve really helped fenrir out by being a close friend. he notes that fenrir has never acted this attached to someone and tells you to not break his heart... and also to use protection otherwise you might lose an arm like he did. he then promptly shoves you off to overthink your feelings for fenrir

you’re both obviously into each other, no normal guy like fenrir would do the things he does around you without being somewhat interested in you - he literallly said he could kiss you! and you can’t help yourself from blushing thinking about his striking looks (it’s like he came out of a scandinavian calvin klein commercial and those eyes are so deep and piercing), his bad boy with a heart of gold attitude and how secretly goofy and aloof he is... where do you go from here?

luckily before your brain implodes from thinking too much he returns from the lockerooms, looking as spiffy as he could in his ripped jeans, band t-shirt and leather jacket. you note that his clothing seems more wrinkle free than usual, and that he’s put a little more care in taming his hair. naturally it makes you swoon at the knees

cheesy sports event - resolution

you’re both alone while walking around the school, slowly walking nowhere as the celebration has promptly moved on to some poor student’s house. fenrir’s given you his jacket - he says he’s too hot after the game and he knows you get cold anyways. that doesn’t stop him from walking so closely beside you that you can feel him brush aside you, and you just want to grab his hand and tell him how you feel but you’re afraid of breaking the silence between each other. fenrir speaks first, telling you that he won when he saw you in the crowd cheering for him – he didn’t want to let you down after you went out of your way to watch the game

you say that he would never let you down, and the conversation dies for a bit - you want to make a move but you’re afraid that it won’t work out.

you suggest that you two should go somewhere else to talk but before you can finish your sentence he pins you against a wall and starts confessing his feelings to you. he’s breathless, spitting out the words like a manic and half of the time he can’t even look at you but you just press a finger to his lips and start kissing him. it feels like a promise of things to come.

you’d never imaged the big bad wolf of smite high would be your boyfriend but you hope you can see all the sides of fenrir to come 💖

and then you’re dating and shit! yaaay

(also both hels are totally justififed, i’d have a crush on ullr too lol)

(and thanks for the nice comment! i’ve spent a lot of time on this au and it’s nice to have people appreciate it ˙ ͜ʟ˙)

The Story of Rebel Spies Catfishing Imperial Soldiers Over the Internet.

10 | PW(Jade) CD(Ceru) II(Anon)-11/29/2017

okay so well. it starts off with daginy, whose the rebel spy II anon

II being their handle initials

so anyway theyre like a pacifist rebel spy who cant stop wanting to help people. They're in the chat as Donlan, investigative journalist turned private researcher

and then there's the IPC trolls, particularly Vadaya and nanako whokind of admitted in chat that theyre psionic rebel hunters

Reba | ID (Maroon) UV ('Violet')-11/29/2017

}>:/ #ThanksNana

10 | PW(Jade) CD(Ceru) II(Anon)-11/29/2017

but before they figured that one out, daginy got messaged by nanako about an heiress that was being held prisoner, and they passed off to them 1 suspiciously well researched document with possible rebel connections

Reba | ID (Maroon) UV ('Violet')-11/29/2017

Also IPC = Imperial Psionic Corps. Big scary psionic soldiers who beat up rebels and eat them for breakfast.

10 | PW(Jade) CD(Ceru) II(Anon)-11/29/2017

and then daginy went into full IM INNOCENT mode

10 | PW(Jade) CD(Ceru) II(Anon)-11/29/2017

and tried to cover their tracks

as best as they could. Fast forward some time, daginy gets caught by scary imps, and after theyre rescued and theyve got a lot of recovery time. so theyre like

imma see what i can get out of these imps

Daginy comes up with lannia, a simpering teal librarian with a specialty in historic architecture and an interest in the mirthful messiahs, specificially to bother vadaya

see what he's made of

Cloud | inkedWhimsy-11/29/2017

spoilers: he was not made of information

10 | PW(Jade) CD(Ceru) II(Anon)-11/29/2017

he was not

Reba | ID (Maroon) UV ('Violet')-11/29/2017

He was made of 'Stop talking to me'.

Cloud | inkedWhimsy-11/29/2017

he was made of a good strong fear of a scientifically engineered justifiable homicide annoyance.

10 | PW(Jade) CD(Ceru) II(Anon)-11/29/2017

anyway there was a bunch of shenanigans where lannia had a "crush" on vadaya,10 | PW(Jade) CD(Ceru) II(Anon)-11/29/2017

nanako and h er friend tomie got to grill tf out of lannia for being a terrible person, orivar fucking hated lannia with a loathing that kind of out weighed anything lannia actually did but

also lannia was soooooo

sooooooooooo annoying

and herlyn joined the fray essentially bc she was wondering what daginy was getting up to, logged onto the chat and was like

lol mfer what are you doing go to bed you need to rest

and daginy was like

IM DOING SOMETHING HERE

and herlyn was like well i'll be your fake moirail and help you sell the whole schtick

and also i can tell you to go to bed when youre getting carried away and daginy was like

uggh fine

and so herlyn became lynner, and lannia <> lynner became a thing

this is really quite a tale tbh

10 | PW(Jade) CD(Ceru) II(Anon)-11/29/2017

so herlyn fucked up kinda bad on 2 points here on the catfishing, one of which was legit like.just fucking telling sipara who she was like

HI

which clued hadean in because he was reading over her shoulder or something

and the second point was that herlyn ended up being an incredibly awful moirail to fake lannia

partially bc herlyn thought lannia was terrible and lowkey hated herbc daginy can fake much better than she canso things became incredibly apparent that the "moraillagence" between lannia and lynner was pretty toxic and bad

cue daginy face palming everywhere bc the goal was not to have their fake relationship drama be the focus of literally anything

also pheres had a bet with his matesprit, Emerel, on who could get a moirail first, and pheres decided lannia would be good candidate

so pheres starts nosing into the relationship, dropping hints on lynner's ability to be a proper moirail to lannia, and fucking just

served as the catalyst for a real break up "real" break up

there was a drag out knock down moirail fight in gen chat

daginy and herlyn sitting next to each other and telling each other whats going on so they dont contradict each other

anyway so after that happened, lannia's been dropping hints about how all her coworkers hate her guts for like months

then she says that shes found out theyre a cult of sufferists, says shes stalking them, disappears for like three months, and then lynner shows up after also three months like

anyone's seen lannia? :/ we parted on bad terms but she texted me saying there were rebels building bombs in her basement

and "liveblogged" her break into lannia's "hive"accompanied with visuals thanks to daginy's light bending illusion psi

lynner finds lannia's dead body in the basement, and when she gets back out, the hive gets set on fire, and then people are following lynner, and she says she's shot and then

stops responding forever

in response to this, the IPC trolls got to neuja city, where all this stuff was supposed to take place, and the rebels slap a tracker on vadaya's ship

and the ipc gets to be very confused

bc there's a real lannia at the library she claimed to work at but she's well respected by her collegues and somewhat severe

and also alive

but yeah! that's the "rebel catfishing imperial psionic as a fake librarian" story

Vadaya was, and is still, not happy.

Plot Wishlist stuff for thighhighsandgoldeneyes

@thighhighsandgoldeneyes

Havana: Dagran is a dancer and escort at a high-class club, and Arganan needs a date for the night, to look good. Arganan ends up picking up Dagran, figuring the man is pretty and a sweet talker, and he wants to have some company while he’s alone and away from home, as he’s away from home to attend a series of conferences.

Things get a bit complicated once Arganan realizes he’s more attracted to the younger man than he thought. But does Dagran feel the same?

Rumors: Arganan is more than aware of Dagran’s wish to wreak vengeance on General Asthar, but he also knows he needs the General to win the war. So, he plans out and manipulates a compromise—have the General fake his death when Dagran tries to kill him so Dagran thinks he’s killed him, and meanwhile have Asthar go undercover and secretly spy against the Gurak. Arganan doesn’t intend for Asthar to be alive at the end, though—his ultimate plan is to let Dagran actually kill him with the justification of framing Asthar for conspiring with the Gurak. That way, Arganan can win his war and let Dagran get his revenge.

Unfortunately, the plan starts to go awry when rumors of Dagran conspiring with the Gurak start being whispered, and Arganan wonders if he has an actual Gurak conspirator in his midst. He hopes the rumors are false regarding Dagran, but...

Spin Your Chances (THE NO WAR VERSE): As you suggested in our chat, we keep the Spin Your Chances verse because it has the opportunity of going down the rabbit hole of nobles disapproving their relationship. There will be dragons and Dagran befriending Calista who helps her in turn to tame mitra, but also arganan and dagran scheming against the whole court (which is totally not what an ambassador should do but dagran is petty) and eventually they achieve peace between lazulis and where the gurak live together with the south, there are so many good possibilities we don't have in canon and we should keep at least the timeline to use for some kind of plot

I mean consider calista's reaction when she first meets dagran and realises he's her uncles boyfriend like a) they're almost the same age and b) she probably thinks all dagran wants is the money but then he's genuinely nice and caring and she can't even be upset and he even dances with her at one of the balls they have

arganan is just enarmoured bc his niece is his precious and dagran getting along with her is all he could have hoped for

the brother is just like, so awkward around dagran bc he knows him for what he is (he has to being the count) but also dagran is nothing but pretty and nice and it fucks with his head bc it goes against he's been told by his government

Arganan and his bro getting into fights about this and Arganan says the polite version (or not so polite version) of "SCREW YOU, I LOVE HIM AND YOU'RE NOT TAKING HIM AWAY FROM ME"

dagran's not so happy about people fighting over him, but he likes that arganan is serious with him, he probably clings a little too much to him bc he's never really had a family and He Wants To BelieveTM

Another verse thing:

I'm having a thought it's quite under developed but would you be up for combining dagran not killing asthar with his relationship to the count later and thus altering the storyline of the game because asthar would be such a good influence on dagran making him remember what he actually wanted back than and maybe realising that he has it now, not sure what that would turn into later but it sounds like a lot of good for dagran and lazulis, arganan could willingly resign and only stay to help as an advisor together with dagran as they rule the island

bc you know asthar is your muse too but we could just take everything good and put it into one versearganan learning about zoran and dagran tearing up a little when he's put behind bars for his protection

Another thing:  thighhighsandgoldeneyesyou know what I want, a scenario where I can make him say "I gotta look cool sometimes"

countarganan YESand then arganan facepalms

thighhighsandgoldeneyes dagran: *almost gets killed* I gotta look cool sometimes *strikes a pose* arganan: *questions why he loves this dumb man so much*

"please don't do this ever again" "aww but I looked cool" "no" *softly as he holds dagran's face*

thighhighsandgoldeneyesI have another question very out of the blue my head just says I should ask have you considered asthar/dagran which then again pales bc pls take a moment to consider arganan thinking he doesn't deserve a happy ending and that is why he did all that he did to make it easier on dagran if he died or their ways had to part for any other reasoncountargananOH WOWAsthar/DagranI've thought of it, but I keep thinking it would have a kind of violent beginningDagran trying to kill Asthar and Asthar is trying to not get killed and then...they accidentally put one on each otherand both are like "WTF"

trying to kill each other turns into angry sex right then there in the middle of a war

thighhighsandgoldeneyesdagran would take all his anger out on him and they'd be bloody and bruised at the end of it and dagran would hate himself, feeling all sorts of things at once that he doesn't know how to deal with (he knows how the self loathing works so he goes for that) and everything is awkward for a while between them after itasthar probably finds out how dagran humours the count which just adds to that

asthar could be dagran's voice of reason because let's admit it he doesn't have one

and while he does he's telling dagran stories about what happened after the attack, not right away how he found out and took the blame for it and how much it still hurts him to this day, but he tells dagran about how he went back to help and try and organise more help, how the people treated him, the stories he's heard, the cities and villages he's visited and how it made him understand more about how dangerous the outsider is bc it's draining the land (bc the south knows they're close to the gurak so they're familar with that story) and he tells him about the children and families he stayed with and what he learnt abt their culture and all when they both can't sleep and he just think it might cheer dagran up to hear that things are getting better and his home isn't a complete wasteland like he remembersthe second time dagran kisses him it's because he doesn't know how to express feelings but asthar cheered him up and he wants him to know and he's so damn flustered he doesn't know what to do with himself once it happened

asthar is like sighing mentally, while admitting that dagran is kinda adorable but he really shouldn't because dagran is so much younger and what good can come off this so there is a lot of pining and confusion for a long timethighhighsandgoldeneyeson the other hand consider dagran having a hard time keeping his act up around arganan bc he's so genuine in his affection and dagran is too good at reading people to not understand that he means it and that like fucks with his whole scheme and dagran doesn't know how to handle it

thighhighsandgoldeneyesasthar thinking like, everything's chill because dagran is helpless and confused so as long as he doesn't act on his own feelings nothing will happen but Chemistry Is A Thing Whoops Where Did Our Clothes Gothighhighsandgoldeneyesbut again it's incredibly terribly timing bc more war going on (dagran looks good in those thigh-high boots okay)

thighhighsandgoldeneyesthey're always kinda in situations where someone could walk in any moment but it also never stops them

countargananYESMAKE OUT IN THE LIBRARY

thighhighsandgoldeneyesright above the kids who study and if just one of them looked up JUST ONEbut magically none do 

countargananOH MY GOSH"Dagran I'm trying to save the land from decaying, stop distracting me and don't you dare take off your shirt"

thighhighsandgoldeneyes"whose fault is it I had to fight water reptids""..." "I'm bloody soaked!"countarganan"Yes, but there are bedrooms and washrooms for a reason" *curses under his breath*

thighhighsandgoldeneyesand dagran just looks at him like he doesn't understand and swaps clothes right then and there, the guards either don't notice or think it's funnycountargananAsthar: *sighs* *mutters* You are going to be the death of me in some form I swear

thighhighsandgoldeneyesdagran: *blinks innocently*countargananAsthar: *next* time use a less public space than this? there are others that could see this

thighhighsandgoldeneyes"that's why you're here to act as my shield"countargananoh lol XDAsthar just...he just tries to get back to researching and reading

thighhighsandgoldeneyesasthar getting upset when dagran is with the count bc he's JealousTM and doesn't know what is going on but he also can't waltz in there like "excuse u wtf u doin' with my love interest" esp when nothing is going on, he's also upset about the methods dagran has to resort to to get what he wantscountargananHe WOULD be so so upsetTherius almost finding out and Asthar trying to desperately keep it secret

thighhighsandgoldeneyeslet's be real asthar would panic, dagran would panic but then therius turns out to be as dense as a brick, not in an innocent way like zael, it just goes right above his head and asthar is so relieved when he realises that but dagran kinda wants to know how much he can get away with and it's hilariouscountargananYES

thighhighsandgoldeneyesI mean do you remember his conversation with asthar about women that boy is as ace as it gets he doesn't have a cluecountargananso so true XD

thighhighsandgoldeneyesasthar: *gets lost in lazulis castle despite living there for three months* dagran: *watches and sighs, reminding himself that asthar may be an idiot sometimes but he's his idiot*he has to hold his hand so he doesn't get lost sometimes

I couldn't help but think of Arganan and Dagran dancing to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzgTMh21zhI&feature=youtu.bethighhighsandgoldeneyesdagran would drive anybody crazy dacing with them if that's playing and he wouldn't even have to try
