I want tamlin and Nesta to start a therapy group and just work through the copious amount of gaslighting they’ve faced by Rhysand, Ferye, and the his merry band of idiots.

If I remember correctly, you said before that you didn’t choose Zelda’s gender, but had written or had plans for her life that would work either way, and then just refined them when you knew what you were working with. And that’s why Josephine and Antoine are a brother-sister duo; if Zelda were born a boy, he’d be with Josephine. And of course you mention pretty frequently that Giorgio has become SO much more than he was ever intended to be.

Can you tell us a little about what would be different? Who would Antoine be with?? And Josephine with a baby.. I can hardly imagine 🫢

AHHH friend!! This is such a delicious question, and so timely at that 😉

So yes, that’s correct. I didn’t change any of the birth sex or genetics for our first generations of Darlington babies. I was still in a phase of writing/planning where I was functioning more on general ideas than deadset plans. So before our heir was born all I really knew was that they would end up in New Orleans by 1920, and that the decade was going to explore the artistic scene in that era. I also knew that if they were born female, they were going to be a jazz singer while if they were born male, they were going to be a writer who documented the whole era almost like from an “outsider’s perspective.”

In both of these scenarios the heir’s personality would have been very similiar, in that they would get pulled into this world by the Duplanchiers and kind of be swept up in it beyond themselves. I had a very vague sort of F. Scott/Zelda Fitzgerald vibe visualized for our potential 1920s male heir and Josephine, and I think a lot of the tempestuous conflict between her and Giorgio was originally born from that vision.

Beyond that, I didn’t really have much planned. More that the characters were envisioned and waiting there for us. So I couldn’t tell you the route Antoine would have taken if our male heir had ended up with Josephine, mostly because their actual arcs and plot points came after Zelda was born, and even much of it when she was already in New Orleans.

Josephine especially, who’s character I had visualized since before Zelda was born, didn’t actually come to life until they met. Still one of the first things I knew about her (plotwise) is that one of her partners was our impetuous to move out west. So the figure of Giorgio the first time we see him, was meant to be one of her partners, and a different one to who we eventually met in Strangerville. Only over time in the 1920s, they just kind of…became soulmates? Like I know they are absolutely fucked, but simultaneously the more I wrote them together the more it was like a puzzle piece that was missing from Jo’s character, and perhaps left there by my original idea of who she would have been if Zelda had been born male. So gradually the Giorgio we knew in New Orleans and the faceless partner out west became one in the same, and I bridged the gap between the two of them into one character.

And Josephine with a baby you say??? 👀👀👀

#THANK YOU #I live for this shit #also the Duplanchier siblings have been living in my mind for years #like the months and months of content through the 1900s/1910s when they were just WAITING there in New Orleans looking gorgeous #and with all these potential plotlines #don’t you spoil it Alexis don’t you post them on the dash #but truly it’s hard for me to visualize who Antoine would have been in this scenario #because I have known since 1901 that he was the one who won the heir lottery #and let’s be honest #maybe that’s what I was rooting for all along 😉 #ask #answered

Lord give me the confidence of a mediocre white man so I can clean up this resume and apply for this job.

#I got tipped off about a position that’s not open yet but will be #from a recruiter I’ve crossed paths with a few times #still remote and would pay probably 50% more than I’m making right now #nothing on the JD I couldn’t do #but the mental block of ‘it’s a senior level position’ #but the worst they can say is no #and let’s be honest #RB wants to get paid

If I had a nickel for everytime I had in-depth ideas for an detailed backstory fic about a character who was a noble with over five siblings who are almost all dead by the time of canon, I would have three nickels

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that this trope is consistent across three different fandoms

#fe3h #the silmarillion #and #critical role #and I’m super grateful it is so common #because for 2/3 of these fandoms I get to make whole ass personalities for all those slaughtered siblings #and let’s be honest #most of the house of finwe don’t exactly have the richest characterization known to man #tribble post

Quick question:

I mix meat sauce in with the pasta and traditionally bake it with cheese on top. At least that’s how I learned to make it growing up.

the jimmy mitch snippet sounds so interesting omfg i wanna hear it so bad 🙏

Oh, dear friend, while I'm beyond honored that anyone still cares at this point lol, I'm afraid it will not see the light of day. I'm sorry to disappoint you. It's a touchy thing that felt uncomfortable revisiting. I know I sound like a lunatic because obviously it's all made up stuff about essentially made up people, but it strikes a chord with me, an off-key one, if that makes any sense. I really am sorry. ☹️ I hope you understand. 💖💖💖

i refuse to believe that boycotting is hard. my favourite thing in the world is ordering maccies after a late night at work/a concert/getting drunk. yes i do miss it sometimes. but the other night i ordered from a small place near my house instead and it was the most orgasmic burger i've ever had in my life. i very rarely say this but fucking suck it up people are DEAD

#ramble #also only 0.29 delivery instead of 3.99 #and chilli cheese bites #i swear to god the best food you'll ever eat while drunk is from the tiny shithole that's open until 4am #if you're refusing to do literally the smallest thing you can do to help then i have questions #it's FOOD. you'll survive #it's not even NECESSARY food #if it was like a chain grocery place and you don't have access to anything else then i would understand #but it's just NOT #make your own coffee for the love of god #when there is NOTHING you can do to stop this fucking tragedy. and let's be honest there isn't a lot normal people can do #and people say to you 'do this insignificant thing just to show that you even CARE' #and you DON'T do that???? what is actually wrong with you #also i've been worried about this since my last post about sbucks but this is Not an attack on the people who WORK at the boycotted places #because it is an absolute privilege to be able to leave your job and immediately find a new one
