#theres a whole thing its difficult to get into about how tabs is incredibly devoted to her duty and the royal family above anything else

ZEETH I would love some elaboration on the Annabelle cheddar doomed yuri oc. Like right now I need some doomed yuri in my life

raine honestly i can't explain it all in one Tumblr post but brief overview. Update this isnt very brief any more I did in fact explain almost all of it I'm putting this under a read more whoops

Her name is Dell Tabbey (Tabs) she's made of Turkish delight and she became a page for the House of Rocks age like 9? She takes her position VERY seriously. So basically since the Dairy Isles have such a close relationship with Candia the royal families visited each other pretty often and whenever the House of Cheddar came to Candia she would get assigned to Annabelle as like a guide/temporary lady-in-waiting cause they were almost the same age. I didn't explain that very well but it's ok you get the idea like they know each other a bit they're kind of friends.

SOOOO like time goes on and Tabs trains as a knight and when she turns 18 she gets knighted and then immediately shipped off to the dairy isles because there's a power scuffle and the House of Rocks wanted to show their support for the House of Cheddar by sending one of their knights and Sir Tabbey pretty much begged to be picked. To prove herself.

Her and Annabelle become close friends fast and soon they're pretty much inseperable. Tabs ends up staying months after any threat is gone mostly cause King Tarthur just can't say no to his daughter (Annabelle is a daddy's girl fight me on this) but he's also old and getting sicker and they're not sure how things will go if/when he dies. And then he dies.

The thing is they can't really afford to wait very long to crown Annabelle and they can't really crown Annabelle until she finds a suitor because if she can't produce an heir her reign isn't secure. SO a few days after the funeral she's being pressured to pick a husband. She ends up being so unhelpful and avoidant about it (for SOME reason) that they have to just invite potential suitors to the castle to meet her face to face in the hopes it'll get her to pick one.

Now tabs wasn't there for the start of all of this cause the day after the funeral there's minor trouble at some of the borders (in my head it's like an early version of saccharina's gang) and she got sent off to help with that so she's gone for about a week and when she comes BACK Annabelle is on about day 3 of sitting in the throne room looking bored and refusing every guy that rocks up. For SOME reason.

So they have a little conversation once they let Annabelle go for the day and obviously Annabelle is like FINALLY I'm so glad you're back you have no idea how fucking awful it's been they're trying to make me choose a random guy i don't even know to marry. But Tabs is like what the fuck are you doing. You can't just refuse them all immediately that's 100% not how this works you're actively damaging your relationships with literally every important family in the country at the absolute worst time to do that you are going to start a coup.

It descends into a pretty nasty argument that I honestly do not know how to describe without fully writing it. It ends badly they're both heartbroken and angry and having an all round bad time things are said that can't really be unsaid and to make everything worse Tabs is woken up early the next morning by someone delivering an urgent letter saying she's to return to Candia asap because she's being given a new position. So yeah um she leaves without ever saying goodbye to Annabelle. Which is FUN AND COOL and I'm going to write a full fic about them it's going to have a proper ending where they meet again a decade later during the events of acoc and yeah. Sorry.
