hey i desperately need to know more about sakari and asta btw

Ask and you shall receive!

I came up with them bc I was obsessed with one of my other oc's (Alex) and realized he needed parents.

At first I wanted his mom to be a single parent so I came up with Asta. She's an icon, the moment, a queen uknow the basic stuff. She's great mom, a dentist (she recently graduated to a doctorate), sometimes she acts in amateur plays, and she's a vintage fashion enthusiast/collector/repairer. She has a nice house, a car and Sakari to fix any problems with it (even tho Asta is also fully capable of solving them herself) and a close group of friends made up from Alex's friends' parents. Her life's maybe a bit grey, but it's a nice life and she enjoys it.

But yeah. You do need a second parent to have a kid (and I already have too many characters with unexplainedly vanished parents) so I made up Sakari. He's a little rat shit who couldn't be a husband. Fumbled the most smartest and most beautiful goddess that there is. Great job buddy. He CAN behave and be nice and charming. But usually he won't. He's a great car mechanic (that's his job, but still) and a no nonsense guy (except when it comes to Asta). He's not a bad dad (surprising for my characters), he just doesn't really know how to be a dad. He met his kid monthly or so after the divorce but neither he or Alex has ever felt that much of a father-son relationship between them. He's finally starting to kinda (?) figure out how to be a dad when the kid's what, 21 years old- And he's unfumbling the most smartest and most beautiful goddess that there is. Great job buddy!

This is a longass post so I'm putting the rest under the cut lol

The thing with these guys is that they both tried to see other people after their divorce, and most of the new partners were great and there was chemistry and stuff, but somehow the relationships all ended. Asta was the first to settle with the tought of being single.

They were together from 2000-2012, ages 17-29. They were high school* sweethearts and both of them are hopeless romatics which caused them to try and cling to each other as long as possible. They both had given so much to the relationship and supported each other (they had a kid, Sakari had mostly supported their finances when Asta was in dentistry school etc), whic is probably why they lasted so long even tho the first bigger problems started to arise pretty soon after Alex's birth in 2003 (yeah they were 20 when he was born, whoops) and they even got married in 2006 despite the problems.

Nowadays they're very attached to each other, probably even more than before now that their relationship has mostly healed from being veeeerry messy in the 2010s. They're still not getting back together, bc they know that they'd be a catastrophical mess. They're a mess even as friends. They get on each other's nerves often and bicker about stuff that doesn't matter, but they still have each others' backs

*well, the kinda equilavant of hs in Finland which is lukio

Elaborating this post:

I reblobbed this thinking about how Sakari was feeling after the divorce. He's a romantic little rat shit and he was truly feeling the loss of the most smartest and most beautiful goddess that there is. His mortality being taken in the divorce is just him being a dramatic little bitch playing with symbolism. Sorry, he's not actually immortal! Only normal ass humans here (unless it's one of my fantasy AU thingies).

A love letter to Young Royals...

Sobbed through the final minutes of the last episode... Young Royals has stuck with me since the summer it came out, during the three emotionally challenging years of lukio and now both are ending.

It’s an odd feeling that a show has faintly illustrated a whole chapter in my life, but along the way I’ve grown and learned about myself and my identity too. The series felt like a rock I could fall back on whenever I was struggling and needed and escape.

Young Royals is a gut-wrenching and a heartwarming series about queer love and intimacy, friendship, redemption and forgiveness, media scrutiny, class differences, prejudice and privilege, grief, generational trauma, mental health and so much more. It’s a story about broken families and flawed people. It has a happy ending.

I love the rawness and humanity of the portrayal of the world, its characters, the relationships and moments they share. I have grown to care about these characters and their arcs so much. It has taught me a lot too.

The series is about Wille choosing himself, his happiness and health over living in an institution that would’ve eventually led to his doom. It’s about Simon gaining his voice back and being heard by people he loves most. It’s about Felice not giving in the pressure of oppressive hierarchies, standing up for herself and staying with people who care about the real her. It’s about Sara stumbling but getting up again, wanting to grow and learning to love herself after having wronged her loved ones. It’s about August feeling and then losing the slightest taste of what could’ve been if he hadn’t chosen revenge over healing. Poetic justice.

It’s about choices.

It’s about platonic and familial love. It’s about romantic love. The writing built Wilmon’s story not just as a romance but also something worth rooting for. Their love is about about rejecting old heteronormative traditions and rebuilding worldviews. It’s about a person who loves you unconditionally, is your best friend and soulmate despite setbacks. It’s about creating a safe space with someone to express feelings and be yourself. It's about heartbreak, longing and desire. It’s about communication, authenticity and comfort. It’s about respect and growth as a person. It’s about love.

And it’s never over. A new fresh chapter has started for all of us, including the characters.

Young Royals has helped me to come into touch with my emotions and be more honest with myself. I’ve had to reconstruct certain believes and unfair standards I’ve had for others. I’ve gone through several journeys focusing on my identity and mental health for which I’m eternally grateful for.

All of this feels so strange because the reason I even started watching Young Royals was that I didn’t want to fail my Swedish courses at school during the first year. Funnily enough it might’ve worked a little too well because one of my matriculation exams was Swedish.

To me Young Royals has brought me comfort and a feeling of home that no other show could’ve provided. This show will aways have a special place in my heart wherever I go, and it has been an honor to see it grow and get the recognition it deserves.

Går skilda vägar när det är slut

"Keep the wine flowing! On the house!"

The atmosphere at The Siren's Lure was vibrant as always. The air filled with the scent of spices and incense, masking the scent of sin. Silks hung before stained glass windows to further soften the light in varying hues of pink and purple. The interior filled with music and voices and the clinking of glasses. With heat and reverie.

And at the center of the party was Adonai, Lukios to most. Propped up on the bar laughing it up with a few patrons. Dressed in his usual finery. All his gold outshone by that perfect, inviting smile. He waved the pale haired bartender over. Before wrapping his arms around the shoulders of two inebriated men, pulling them into a casual hug as he addressed the man behind the bar.

"Evius. Make sure these men's cups never run dry," he laughed.

"Thass awful kinn uhf yoo, lukios," slurred one. His cup already being filled again.

The other added, "Yeah. Yoo really arr azz kinn azz theey shay. Nod liyke ozzer celebrities."

"Hey. I want you to feel comfortable," he purred. His voice sickeningly sweet and smooth. "Now if you need anything, you let me know, okay?"

At that, he watched as the two glanced toward one of the barmaids. A petite mousy thing that flinched as she noticed the men watching her. Quickly hurrying into the back. One of the men whistled after her before the two started their crude comments.

"Too bad shese sush a fuckin' bish..."

Adon's eye twitched.

"Maybe yoo coud mayke herr c'meere t' serve us. Eh?"

Though he maintained his smile, there was a glint in the musician's golden eyes. A hint of something more sinister. Violent. Predatory. His fingers squeezed the men's shoulders a bit too tightly.

"Well," he crooned. "I do take care of my own~" For the briefest moment, it seemed like black was peeking at the edges of his sclera. His grin grew wider, toothier.

"Which is why I don't take kindly when people put their hands on my girls..."

One of them opened their mouth as if to speak... just as both men passed out on the counter. There was a brief lull in conversation as their heads hit the bar. The closer crowds eying the situation. Though that was quickly remedied when Adon spun around, Clapping his hands together.

"Sorry for that. Next round's on me~"

Everyone in these parts knew how protective he was with his staff.

"Evius. Can you get started on these for me," he asked as the bar stools seemed to come to life, carrying the unconscious men into the back.

"You got it, boss."

Adon watched as Evius followed the stools. Makign his way to the back as well, stopping at a nearby table first.

"Hey Sylvie... You don't mind going ahead, do you? Something kind of came up," he said, gesturing toward the back.

"I can see that. And I don't mind. I'll let her know you'll be later. I don't think she really needs your help anyway."

"You're the best, Sylvie~ Give our little witch a big ol' smooch from me as an apology." He chuckled before walking off to handle the garbage.

"You know she'd smack you for that."

"Why do you think I'm asking you to do it~?"

i'm free!!!!! did my last finals this week, so i'm done with school (for now hh)

now it's time to rest for a bit, it feels so nice that i don't have to stress about school anymore

(mainly it's about basic education+lukio being such unpleasant environments for me. like i can't wait to go to university in a year, but now i'm just really grateful to be able to rest for a bit after the burnout and stress hell that lukio has been)

(and also having to prep for finals forced me to pause literally everything else in my life (like my own language studies, working out, even skincare), so now i get the chance to start doing all of that again)

i'm so excited, i'm just rambling but yea

A post about adults writing teens/young-adults having sex I just reblogged made me think about this story I'm currently writing. I have thought about these themes earlier but somehow wanted to post about my feelings on the matter now.

I don't write teens having sex because I want to have sex with teens. Not even close. I would never... I write it because I remember what it was like BEING that age and having sex. How you are only just figuring out who you even are as a person and then BANG there is also your lipido and romantic feelings and oh no... now you want to have a relationship but HOW.

My story has even more sex because I'm writing a romance between a human and an incubus and my little incubus has to eat. I COULD have started their story later, they COULD be older than 15 at the start. But I want to write their whole life between ages 15 to 19 or maybe even 20. Not only because teen feelings are complicated and sex messy even if one of you is not energy sucking "demon" (I have different lore. Not really demons, as a species more related to vampires). I also WANT to write about that whole trying to find yourself part of that age, it would not be quite same if my boys were older. You CAN and probably are still kind of lost at your early twenties but not in the same way. In "high school" (I'm finnish, lukio is not exactly same but close enough) you can still just kind of excist, after it you kind of have to decide what kind of studying or work you want to do. Maybe you go to university, maybe something else but you have to do SOMETHING and because of that third year is scary. Everyone is constantly ansking you these questions and you don't know the answers.

Does my little incubus have "too much sex" for his age? Maybe. I don't know... I myself had most of my sex between the ages 16 to 18 but it's just because I'm not really all that good at finding sexual relationships.

Do I write him having a lot of sex because I want to fuck him? NOPE! There is some themes I want to explore, some more personal than others. And it just fits his character. And then there are those lore reasons, but I'm a god of my story so I MAKE those lore reasons. Most of that lore was written while in "high school" I've only edited it just a little bit here and there.

I wanted to write about these two because they live in my imagination and I want to let them out.

Will I write their sex to be something I personally enjoy reading and writing? OF COURSE! We will have passionate making out (and more...) against the wall, we will have pulling someone closer by crabbing their necktie. There will be things I don't even know yet. But I don't find it hot because my characters are in their teens... I don't even want everything I'm writing in real life.

Not even sure if I'll post my story anywhere. Some of my friends can read it. Not sure where one should post original fiction written in finnish spoken language...
