I promise you.

Okay i said this a bit ago and now i'm writing it, my headcanons/ideas for SSO(minus the 'specific situations' ones i wrote in other posts):

-Ydris doesn't like physical contact, he would often say things like "don't touch me" and "please keep the disctance". He would only let someone touch him if it's someone he trusts/is friends with. (Like Xin, Zee and later on MC)

-Ydris is the "seems selfish and cocky but is actually really sweet when you get to know him" kinda guy, he also picks his favorites and is not really good at hiding that fact(MC is clearly his favorite out of all people he seems to know).

-Ydris is an orphan that made its way to france thru a pandorian rift/portal and grew up in an orphanage, camouflaged as a human.

-Ydris' wagon(and any other non-western style wagon) has a door on the side, its bothering me that canon wagon designs in sso don't have doors on them.

-Alex and Ydris have a weird love/hate relationship thing going on; they really don't like each other but wouldn't let another one die. Other soul riders are suspicious of him as well, but don't mind him around if he's not causing any troubles.

-MC works part-time delivery-guy job, that's the main income of her money.(or at least for me, it would be cool idea)

-Mc doesn't get affected by being in other dimention(like Pandoria, whatev dimention Galloper's keep is in, etc.) as much as others. For example; MC wouldn't feel as sick in Pandoria, also if she did get scars from being in there for too long it would most likely be that they would expand much slower than with Anne or Evergray.

-MC's horse can talk on rare occasions, but mostly it just communicates with other Guardian horses like how Concorde talks with them, they just understand their neighs.

-Galloper is on good terms with MC, they are kinda friends(after this whole halloween party fiasco with Ydris n stuff) so i imagine Galloper would recognize MC and not attack her like he does in game. MC would go on night rides to hang out with Galloper for a bit, she thinks he's kinda lonely and wants to be his friend. She doesn't tell anyone that she's meeting with Galloper cuz it's a secret, also others might not be ready for this/might be worried for her.

-Not all side quests are canon lore, it would be so overwhelming for MC to be so many things at once.(pick you favorites, i will do a thing about this point in the future post.)

-MC takes little 'souvenirs' from places she's been to. For example; she would take some pebbles or small crystals and leaves to dry and keep in an album as little reminders about memories of the given place. She makes a collection in a box that remind her of every adventure she's been to/memory she made on jorvik.

And that's all i have for now, will reblog this post if i add new headcanons and ideas to the list to let you know.

Playing Cupid

It’s finally here, the next chapter of Playing cupid. This took me forever, I don’t have a lot of time to write anymore. Anyway, this was a fun chapter to write, we’re moving forward. The long awaited face to face is coming closer and closer. I don’t know when the next update is but enjoy this chapter in the meantime.

Luna and Matteo have been building their lives together slowly. Fresh out of college, they’re planning their future. But by planning this, they have an underlying plan no one knows of. Bringing their best friends together after 4 years of not being happy without the other. How well will their plan of playing Cupid work?

Chapter 4: A Shocking Surprise

Nina hesitated and she was conflicted about what she would tell Luna but deep down, she knew it's better to tell the truth. She would feel better afterwards. So that's what she did. She told her best friend everything. From the way she felt when Gastón left to getting together with Eric to breaking up with him to realizing what she truly felt when Gastón went to Oxford.

"Looking back on everything, I realized that we shouldn't have broken up. There was no point." Nina looked sad admitting this but continued anyway, "I know we could have figured it out. We were strong enough to have a long disctance relationship and thinking back, it wouldn't even have been for that long since I wanted to go to Oxford as well." she sighed, "How did everything get so wrong?"

Luna was speechless, she knew Nina still had feelings for her ex-boyfriend but she didn't know how strong they still were. This has made her even more determined to get them back together no matter what.

She thought of saying something so she ended up saying: "I can't possibly understand how you feel right now but I do know that life can take an unexpected turn and it will all be okay in the end. If your love is strong enough, you will get through anything, I'm sure of that so don't give up. You'll find your way."

Nina just nodded, she wasn't truly convinced about what her best friend was telling her but she hoped that there will be light at the end of the tunnel, even if the tunnel seems too dark for it to be possible.

"I hope you're right. I really don't like feeling like this."

"Just look at me and Matteo or Ámbar and Simón. It seemed hopeless for all of us but look at us now. Me and Matteo are engaged and Ámbar and Simón are already married and living their best life right now, visiting Simón's family in Mexico."

Nina smiled at Luna's shot at trying to cheer her up. The image of her friends being happy and in love did cheer her up and have her hope that she would have a chance to feel like that as well at some point.

"I don't know but I don't want to talk about this right now. We need to make plans for your wedding. That's the priority at the moment." she tried to change the subject because she didn't want to feel sad anymore. She needed a distraction.

Her trick worked since Luna started talking about her plans but she knew Luna was just humouring her and not letting it go anytime soon and she didn't know if she liked it just yet.

***

Luna and Nina were still talking when Matteo came up behind Luna and startled her by giving a kiss on her cheek. He chuckled when she jumped a little from her seat and she laughed along with him.

When she saw him, she was dying to ask him how his meeting with Gastón went but she couldn't ask him just yet. Nina still didn't know about his arrival and the role he was going to have in their wedding. She was a  little afraid of her reaction but she had to find a way to prepare her for what's going to happen. A meeting was going to be inevitable between them and Nina wouldn't like a surprise like this.

Matteo was a little nervous to see that Nina was here too. He should have expected to see her since they're still in Jam & Roller but he believed that Luna was taking her out to eat somewhere else. He had to be careful, Gastón was with him and he would wait outside since he wasn't ready to go back in yet but he was sure that if he stayed inside for too long, his best friend would come looking for him.

"Hey, chico fresa. What are you doing here?" Luna didn't seem to notice he was nervous and that was a good thing but there was still a possibility that Nina would notice it.

"I'm just stopping by to get a smoothie." he said and looked back to see if his friend had followed him, he didn't.

Luna noticed this and asked if everything was alright. "Everything's fine, there's just someone waiting for me outside." he gave her a subtle hint.

Realization appeared on her face and tried to help him: "Right, you shouldn't let them wait for too long then. I'll see you later."

"Sure, we should talk after I get back." he warned her, they needed to come up with a good plan now that that they talked to the two clueless lovebirds.

"Okay, no problem, we'll talk when we get back home then." Luna shrugged and Nina was confused, she had a feeling there was more to this conversation than they showed. She didn't want to pry, if they had problems, Luna would go to her when she's ready.

Matteo kissed her goodbye with a quick but passionate kiss. He turned around afterwards and Matteo had to hide the gasp that left his lips when he saw his best friend walking in. He looked around the cafeteria and Matteo really hoped he wouldn't see the two girls he was standing next to. It would be too soon now. He just got back and Matteo just knew he wasn't ready to see her again.

But it was too late, his best friend saw Nina and shock appeared on his face. He was frozen like a statue and he had no idea what to do. Luna noticed what her fiancé was looking at and before Nina could turn her head to see what grabbed their attention, she asked her: "So what do you think we should for the wedding first?"

The distraction worked and with one last kiss on the nose, Matteo left the two girls talking and he walked over to Gaston, still standing still at the entrance of the cafeteria. He turned him around and with an arm around his shoulders, they walked out of the Jam & Roller. They had things to talk about and this wasn't the right place to do that.

***

When Luna and Matteo got back home, they settled into the couch before making dinner. They had priorities that had to be dealt with now.

"That was so close." Luna broke the silence.

"Yeah, I was a little scared this would happen." he answered her.

"He looked like he saw a ghost." she said thoughtfully, "Did he say anything to you about seeing her again?"

"I tried asking him but he just changed the subject, I think he needs some time to process." he frowned, he was worried about what Gastón was feeling right now.

"It must have been hard to see her but I think it was something he had to do, to figure out what he's going to do about her." they already talked about the conversation Matteo had with Gastón earlier today on the way home.

"I think you're right. He might need a little push to try to tell her how he truly feels."

"She might need one too." she paused, "She told me everything about the entire Eric-Gastón situation. They're both too scared to admit anything."

"There has to be some way to convince them that they should have an honest talk. Avoiding each other is only going to cause them pain." he was in deep thought.

"But how do we do that?" she looked up at him frowning.

"I think seeing each other again is the first step but maybe not when the other knows about it. Seeing her again shook him but I think it was necessary. She might need to do this as well." he thought out loud.

"I'm not so sure about this." she answered, "She's still hurting over everything that transpired."

"We have to prepare her some way. They're going to see a lot of each other now that they're going to be part of the wedding. We need to take this step by step. It might not seem like a good thing at the moment but I think it will all be worth it in the end. They deserve to be happy and if they're honest with themselves. They'll see that the make each other happy."

"That's true." she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "Let's just get this over with."

Matteo raised his hand and carressed her cheek with the top of his fingers. "I can't wait until this is all over. I can't wait to be married to you and I can't wait to see my friends happy again." he smiled when she leaned into his touch, "We make quite the good team, chica delivery."

She opened her eyes and smiled at him: "We really do. I'm excited to see what's to come."

They leaned into each other and their lips touched carefully at first, but the kiss turned deeper and more passionate soon after. Everything that still needed to be done was forgotten at the moment and all they could focus on was each other. Dinner had to wait for now, they wanted to forgot about the world and be together and nothing would get in the way of that.

***

The day after, they started up the plan they came up with last night. It was risky but something they had to do. Matteo and Gastón were going to meet up in the same park they had yesterday. They still needed to talk about Gastón seeing Nina but they also had to make up for lost time.

Talking and seeing each other over the phone just wasn't the same. Gastón had friends at Oxford but they couldn't compare to his best friend. They've been through a lot together and they know everything about each other. He missed having his best friend around, as did Matteo.

They were just walking around in the park, still catching up to everything that they didn't want to say over the phone. It felt nice to be able to do this again. Matteo seemed a little more tense than usual though. Gastón didn't know what was going on but he just enjoyed talking to him like this again that he didn't think about his behaviour that much.

But unknown to him, two girls were walking close to them. Both Nina and Gastón were oblivious to what was going on. Without her noticing, Luna lead Nina close to the spot that Matteo said he and Gastón would be. Her best friend was talking to her about a book she was reading, she really liked it and couldn't stop talking about it. Luna was only half listening but she noted in the back of her head to ask Nina to borrow the book once she's done with it because it does sound interesting.

Luna was nervous about what's going to happen but she wasn't going to back out now. She needed to do this. Soon, the guys were in eyesight. This was the moment, it was now or never.

"Hey, Nina, is that...?" Luna paused and pointed ahead of her. She was pointing at Gastón and Matteo.

It took Nina a moment to realize what Luna was referring to, she was too distracted by her rant about the book she was reading to process what was going on quickly.

But as soon as she realized what Luna meant, she froze and she was in a state of shock. She couldn't believe her own eyes. Gastón was there standing with Matteo and joking about something. They were too far away to hear what they were talking about. It had been a while since she last saw him but there was no mistaking him, she couldn't forget what he looked like. He did look a little older than the last time she saw him but she still could recognize him easily.

Luna stopped and gauged Nina's reaction. She couldn't see anything but shock on her face. She didn't know what she was thinking and she was desperate to know but she didn't say anything, she didn't want to ruin this moment.

After moments of silence, she couldn't take it anymore and asked softly: "Nina?"

The sound of her voice brought Nina out of her trance and she turned around and ran away. It was too overwhelming for Nina. Luna just let her go, she needed time to process. She felt guilty for doing this to her but she knew this was the best way to prepare her for what's about to come.

OKAY THIS MADE ME CRY

EVERYONE I WANT YOU TO MEET SARAH, MY BEST FRIEND

she’s the cutest smartest PRETTIEST SHE IS SO GORGEOUS and the most passionate person that I’ve ever met. long disctance friendship can be hard sometimes. when someone upsets her l can’t go to kick their ass, l can’t be there to cheer her up or l can’t go there to share her good memories & bad memories all together

but it’s the best friendship that l ever had. l have to make an effort for all of those things l listed, l have to work hard for getting to know her, being there for her. it’s all worth it. I promised her that I’ll attend her wedding and I will keep my promise.

thank you for this amazing friendship and I will keep working hard to make you feel happy.

IM NOT NORMALLY A SERIOUS PERSON WHO GOT ALL FEELINGS AND STUFF BUT YOU HIT ME RIGHT IN THE FEELS I CAN’T HELP IT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Thoughts on having a long distant friendship..

I actually have a long distant friendship! I honestly think long distance friendships have more success then relationships (although I have had a long distance relationship and it was successful, so successful that I'm marrying him aha)

My best friend is 12,435 kilometers away from me which is about 7,727 miles.

It lowkey sucks, especially on days when all I want to do is hug her and just sit on the balcony and talk for hours. şara and I talk daily, about anything, everything and sometimes even nothing. But timezones are our biggest killer! I'm asleep when shes awake and vise versa, doesn't stop the conversation though. It can be hard, especially on days when I can be anxious because şara is a comfort for me and I can't go and see her and just cry aha, its rough but worth it.

şara is one of the few people who knows me better than I know myself, plus she supports all of my crazy ideas and stories.

Nova is based on şara (in some stories more than others).

If we could all please cross our fingers and think positive thoughts that şara will be able to attend my wedding in 2024 and be a bridesmaid for me, that would be greatly appriciated!

I love you @maybesandohnos

p.s. I apologise for rambling, I could talk for hours about şara!
