AND OMG YOU BROUGHT ME QUESTIONS ABOUT MY DARLINGS BEBES. THE TWO THAT ARE 24/7 ON MY MIND. I SO RARELY RECEIVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM, SO THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU FOR MAKING ME SO HAPPY 💓😭💓 Lemme answer them all! <3 (and buckle up, it's going to be a long one <3 *happy squee*)
Tumblr media
I. PRE-RELATIONSHIP
5) What would their lives be like if they had never met? I'd say that, had they never met, their lives would have been rather different, and dare I say, rather tragic. Considering how their whole story is based on the fact that Dorothea found herself out of her own time by absolute accident (or was it Fate, mayhaps, bringing her to where she belonged?), had she never met Mathias, she would have followed through with her parents' plan for her. She would have married Mr. Christopher Sterling, an affluent American Templar Master who had taken an interest in her in 1868, bringing forth their children, as was expected of her, and she would have joined the Templars, eventually becoming Grand Master of London and bringing absolute terror to the Assassins until her death by assassination in 1888. Mathias, on the other end, would have continued his life as he had ever since Emmanuelle destroyed his heart: vowing himself completely to the cause of the French Brotherhood, growing more and more disillusioned by everything around him, and eventually finding his demise in 1794 during the Reign of Terror, causing Antoine to go on an absolute rampage and turning even more to the dark side than she was before.
II. GENERAL
13) Which one thinks they aren't good enough for the other, if at all? Both. Both, for different reasons, believe that they are not good enough for the other. Mathias, due to his disastrous marriage with Emmanuelle, was left with more than just physical scars, and being the introspective man that he was, he didn't want to run the risk of "infecting" Dorothea with the sufference and sadness that he constantly felt; also, his physical disfigurement hindered him from actively pursuing her, terrified as he was that if he were to see the extent of his burn scars on his body, she would be absolutely repulsed and would reject him right away. Dorothea, on her side, thought that she was an absolute inept at romantic matters and not morally good enough for Mathias, especially after spending quite sometimes with him and Antoine and Colette. With them, the flaming passion they had to fight for a better world for everyone, she realized how blind and guillible she had been her whole life, shaped as it was by the Templar's beliefs her father and mother had raised her into. She felt she had been a complete fool that couldn't recognize alone that what her father did was not only wrong but also morally unjust, and that therefore, she as well was absolutely irrecoverable. Once that realization hit her and despite her utmost willingness to critically review her ways, alongside her feelings for Mathias literally roaring within her chest, she reined everyhing in, thinking he would be better off with someone that was never tainted from such ideology. She felt too ashamed to even dare to entertain the idea that he might want her. Thank goodness Colette was there to show them how they were so wrong about it all, and instead how, despite all the tragedies and sadness in their life, they were so similar to one another that they truly were two halves of the same soul, and renouncing this chance at happiness would be their greatest mistake.
11) Who whispers inappropriate things in the other's ear in public? DOROTHEA. She was EXTREMELY good at playing coy and being a little tease with her husband, and you can bet that Dorothea was the one that more often than not approached Mathias with the excuse of wanting a hug and a kiss, and ended up whispering all sort of suggestive things to his ears and against his neck, just for the satisfaction of seeing Mathias' face turn all red and rendering him a mumbling mess. However, she knew that, come nighttime, Mathias would be the one to render HER a whole mumbling mess under his most intimate caresses.
III. LOVE
6) What are their favorite things to do together? Playing music together is definitely one of their favourite activities together. Mathias was an excellent pianist and had an incredible voice, warm and soothing, and he adores sitting down and duet with Dorothea in the evening, singing together or playing the piano while Dorothea accompanies him, either with her voice or her violin. Alternatively, since Mathias had good training in dancing when he was a child, under his adoptive mother's tutelage, he would never say no to a round of waltz, knowing how much she adored dancing around with him. Another favourite things they enjoyed together was riding around the countryside. Mathias was a skilled equestrian, always more at ease around horses than humans, and during their courtship, he taught her how to ride, an activity that she enjoyed immensely, given that her parents never allowed her to do so for fear that she might hurt herself in the process. Dorothea was forever grateful to Mathias for teaching her because whenever she rode around with her horse, she felt truly and properly free, one with the wind.
9) What reminds them of each other? Dorothea was reminded of Mathias whenever her fingers flew over the keyboard of a pianoforte, tickling the ivories in the melodies that were him. She was reminded of him in the tranquillity of a bubbling brooke close to the meadow of their house; in the light of the full moon that lit up the dirt road that lead to the their house in the countryside, in the roaring of the voice of the waves that crashed against the white shore of Normandy, that reminded her so much of Dover; she was always reminded of him in the laughter of their children, that resembled him in so many aspects. Mathias was reminded of Dorothea in the soft, pale light of the sky at dawn, when the sun is not far away from the horizon, ready to break the night and bring forth another cheerful day; the stars that dotted the sky in the middle of the night, so similar to the way her freckles kissed her cheeks; He was reminded of her during the soft falling of the snow, and quiet silence that encompassed the land during winter time; Whenever he saw a flowery meadow in spring, he would think of her, and the time they spent together reading to one another among the wild flowers. He saw her resilience and kind determination in all their children, sweet Léonie in particular.
10) What do they like best about each other? Physically speaking, Dorothea *absolutely* adored Mathias' eyes. They were the most beautiful pair of eyes she had ever seen in all her life, not only for the dark colour and upward shape, but also for the way they were able to convey all Mathias' love for her without him uttering a single word. There was a whole world enclosed behind them, a lot that he left unspoken, and at the beginning of their courtship, she would find herself staring at them without even realizing she was doing so, trying as she could to decypher the mystery behind those long dark lashes. Mathias, instead, loved her smile, so genuine and sweet and welcoming, and loved the way Dorothea's face would light up when smiling for him. There was something so incredibly endearing when she smiled, he would oftentimes resort to silly jokes just for the chance to see that smile and hear her laughter. It brought him absolute comfort and delight in being the reason that she smiled and laughed. Now, in regards to their personality, Dorothea adored Mathias' sensitivity and kindess and generosity, the fact that, despite all the pain and misery he had gone through, he never EVER allowed himself to become a callous man, never allowed himself to give in to anger and contempt and selfishness, remaining instead a caring, honourable and gentle human being. He was his best friend Mathias, instead, was absolutely enthralled by Dorothea's kindness and loving heart, her sharp intellect, and her unwillingness to deceive, even when that would cost her greatly. During their courtship, he found these traits of her personality incredibly endearing and the ones that would prompt him to ask her to be his wife.
IV. DOMESTIC LIFE
3) What is the wedding like? Who attends?
Their wedding was as simple as it could be, in one of the niches in Notre Dame, attended by a Priest after Dorothea converted to Catholicism. The only people presents during their celebration were Antoine and Claude, Colette and Arno and Mathias' best friend Xavier, who had been the one that actually created the occasion for Mathias to declare himself to Dorothea and ask her to marry him. Dorothea, due to the fact that all her family was technically not born, had no one to invite to celebrate with her, but she knew that, in spirit, Byron was always there to support her and her happiness, so for that reason, she kept the compass he had given her inside one of the pockets of her wedding dress (a simple old robe that had belonged to Mathias' adoptive mother).
Unbeknownst to all of them (with the exception of Xavier), their ceremony was also attended by Rodrigo Reyes Moreno, Mathias and Antoine's uncle from their mother side. Xavier informed him that Mathias was to be wedded soon to his ladylove, and quick as his horse allowed, reached them in France, bringing with him a family heirloom that had belonged to his sister Ximena: a ring that was passed down the women from generation to generation in the Reyes Moreno, that was to be worn once married with the promise of a life rich in love and happiness. He entrusted the gift to Xavier, so that he could deliver him to Mathias, knowing that even if Ximena could not wear it for her own wedding (since there was none), at least her son's wife would.
9) How do they celebrate holidays?
In the peace and quietness of their cozy abode, for sure! 😂You see, with Colette and Antoine always looking after their brother and his wife and loving to spend the holidays all together, sometimes Mathias and Dorothea had an hard time to be completely alone during the holidays, even more so after their children were born. So, before becoming parents, they would sometimes try to run away in the countryside to just enjoy each other's presence, since it was the one they loved the most.
13) Do they have any "couple traditions", or family traditions?
Considering how both of them were two absolute nightowls, sometimes, when the moon was full and the weather serene, Dorothea loved to surprise Mathias with a midnight picnic, just for the two of them. She would spread a blanket in the garden that Mathias had planted for Dorothea, and with lit lanterns around them, they would enjoy some of the dishes that Dorothea had cooked for him (thanks to Colette being the best teacher ever <3). The quiet of the night around them, with only the moon kissing them, the stars twinkling for them, the crickets chirping softly, fireflies flying around them as the wind gently blow and danced through the tree branches....it made them feel secure, protected in the bubble that was their love, as if they were the only two people in the entire world.
Another couple tradition they had was connected to reading. They both were two ENORMOUS bookworms, with an impressive collection of books that they had collected throughout the years. But what's special about those books were the old, worn-out bookmarks that they had glued to various pages. Each bookmark had a memory attached - a quote they loved, a tear-stained page due to one of their fights, a shared laughed caused by a sentence. It was a tradition started by Dorothea: she was so terrified that something might happen and bring her back to the XIX Century that she wanted to have those memories collected by those bookmarks, so that everything she had with Mathias was "set in stone" and nothing could ever erase it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you so much for this ask <3 it took me a little to write it all down, but I had so much fun <3
Truly, it put such a big smile on my face and such happiness to my heart, Nonnie, you have no idea <3
Thank you <3

🤔 🦖🥳🪩🎉?
🤔 Are there any new characters you want to write about? I'm currently writing a Big Bang for a completely new fandom fic-wise (Warhammer), so that's something new. After that I need to jump into writing a short story for a competition (also Warhammer). Whatever I'll do after that, something different might do me good. Maybe when Hades II comes out to Alpha I'll get into that game (no promises tho).
🦖 Are there any fandoms you wrote for in the past that you'd like to return to? Haha I have like a two dozen half-finished fics I look at regularly and sigh wistfully, including a couple of long fics (Yugioh, Hobbit and Ace Attorney at least) I'd love to finish some day. Some of them have even been plotted to the end! If I only had the time. :P
🥳 How are you going to celebrate when you achieve one of your writing goals? I really have not thought about it, but I definitely need to do something nice for myself when the Big Bang is done (it has ballooned from 10k to 40k, woops). Maybe I'll get myself a piece of cheesecake.
🪩 Do you have any "good" writing habits you want to cultivate? I would like to get more thoughtful in using my allotted 2 x 15 minutes coffee breaks at work for writing. Maybe start having them always at the same time, get that cup of tea, get a few hundred words in. Get a little break from having to think about work and not feel bad if I don't have the energy to write after work.
🎉 How are you going to be kind to yourself if you don't meet your goals? I mean, getting something as big as a Big Bang done at the start of the year does help with being kind to oneself ("Look I already did this!"). Every year it does get easier to be understanding of oneself, I don't write as much as when I was studying, but I'm not studying anymore, and tho there's a lot of actual free time and I dont have to do homework, there's still lot to do work-wise and taking care of my home-wise. Best not to compare yourself too much to past years and be happy with things you do at the point you do them.

My jaw is on the floor rn bc 1. I cannot believe u remembered half of these (TENSEI AND PYRAMID HEAD?? OMG??). 2. You think I'm like Annabeth (Queen). And 3. I have no idea who the blond eye-patch guy from game of Thrones is, however I feel like you have two character smoshed together (Aemond (eyepatch) and Daemon (11th doctor), honestly fair enough nc they do look very similar).

NEMOOOOOOOOO hi :))
💀 OC in goth/emo/scene attire, for whichever one of your ocs who would
*drops this here and resurrects from the slumber*
Tumblr media
HI ELLZ, MY DEAR, WHAT A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU HERE!!
Tumblr media
Ngl, this ask.
this ask gave me SO MUCH UNLIFE (pun absolutely intended.) I was already in a goth mood for "reasons", so when I saw this in my ask I was like:
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg.
YES.
JUST YES.
At first I had thought to go with Jacob and Dottie, ngl, because since I wanted to go with the whole Romantic And Victorian Goth aesthetic, they would have fitted to a T.
But then I realized that they would have been put in garments too close to what they usually wear already (plus, I already had some sketches in the making for them to be vamps, so I didn't want to repeat myself again).
So I thought.
Gods.
COLETTE AND ARNO.
MY ADORED UNITY BABIES as Vampy- Vamps, rocking that XIX Century Romantic vibes (ngl they are my romantic couple. Like, if Jacob and Dottie are romantic, Arno and Colette are hundredfold that).
BECAUSE YES.
So, there you have the results of my sleep-deprived brain. I got a tad carried away with the shading, but it soothed me while working on it, so I guess I was doing some therapy lol. Also, fml, Jacob is not the only one that can rock a freaking top hat. Arno "Walk Walk Fashion Baby" Victor Dorian CAN and WILL rock a freaking top hat, or Nemo's not my name forevermore.
ANYWAY.
Thank you again for your ask, I truly had so much fun working on it!

Hey spectrum sister! I saw you have a new ask game on your board. So I thought I'd drop in with some treats and ask you the questions
1, 10, 20 and 21 :)
Tumblr media
Hi My Dear!!
Welcome welcome!! and bringing nice raspberries too, omg so lucky! I eat so many of them during summertime, they are just so good! :D
Allow me to answer your questions :D
1)Who was your first ever OC? Do you still “use” them? How have they evolved over time? Answered here! :) 10) OC you most struggled to make? I already answered for one OC that I struggled to make, but I have more than one, so I can answer here as well: Eos, my brainchild for Genshin Impact. I am finding myself in a bit of a slump with her because the way I first designed her, while perfectly aligned with how I envisioned her at the time, was too generic and also not considerate of how she would play a specular role to her sister Mirana. Therefore, I had to go back to my mind whiteboard and work harder to find a way to incorporate all the details that would both make her unique in her own way BUT also very much connected to her sister. I am still trying to find the perfect vibe for her, but I feel like I am getting closer! :) 20) What story are you the proudest of? Why? I answered with the first one here! But, my second story I am most proud of, is most definitely my FFXII “Tale of Two Empires”. It’s so filled with political intrigue, I remember plotting everything out for MONTHS in order to have a plot that would sort of make sense. I spent hours at the library in my hometown, just reading and reading biographies about queens and empresses and kings and emperors, to gather as much knowledge as possible and then, eventually, develop my own political system that would expand on the one presented in FFXII. And I loved loved LOVED writing Nabyrie’s story, and show her path from cheerful young lady to anti-villain, because life kept breaking her down over and over again, but she held to a thread of light and memories that was also the same blade that caused her to bleed into villainy. I think, much like for my “The Larks Song”, I am immensely proud of this story because I was finding myself expanding from simple fluffy sceneries to darker waters and in truth, was starting to finally analyze how events and trauma can transform a person accordingly.
21) When did you start considering yourself a writer/artist? I have to be honest: I still don’t. When I talk with people and address myself as a Visual Artist, it’s mostly so that I can make others understand where I dwell creatively wise. But I do not truly feel like I have any right of calling myself an artist, but I also know that this is caused by me holding Art in extremely high regard. And do not let me start on writing. I am no writer by any means, just a person that likes to embroider her stories on canvases and hang them somewhere, to keep them as memories of all that I was able to achieve, even if it was just for myself. :) Also, please, allow me to make a clarification: this meter of judgment is one that I use only on myself, and never - NEVER - in regards to other artists and writers.
Once again, thank you for your questions <3

Bookish asks: 📕, 📗, 📙, 📖, 📕, 📘, 🔖?
📕What book has had the biggest impact on your life, and why? Hmm, that is a difficult question. I might have to go with R. A. Salvatore's Sojourn. I haven't read it in like 15 years, but it was the first book I remember absolutely adoring. I read it like... six times before I went to high school, and it definitely was the one that inspired me to start writing. (I should re-read it, though I can't imagine it holding up)
📗Are you a one-book-at-a-time reader, or do you read multiple books simultaneously?  I usually read between 2 and 4 books. I usually have one book I read at work during lunch that may or may not be the same book I read at home (for example if my home book is a physical book, I read ebooks at work), and usually another book that is more denser non-fiction that I read every now and then. And sometimes just another book that I have picked up for some reason.
📙What’s your favorite genre to read, and do you have any recommendations within that genre?  Already answered!
📖What is your favorite book-to-movie adaptation, and why?  I love love love Who Framed Roger Rabbit? It was one of my favorite movies as a child. The book was very different, and of course there's the nostalgia factor.
📕Who is your all-time favorite author, and what makes their writing so special to you?  Terry Pratchett. I think growing up with his books has definitely had a huge impact on my sense of humor, my curiosity about the world and my morality. His books have been a constant companion and comfort through my life.
📘Are there any book series that you’ve been meaning to start but haven’t gotten around to yet? Which ones are they?  There's this podcast I listen to at work "What Should I Read Next?" where the host recommends books to guests based on what they like. There has been couple of sci-fi series that sound interesting, but I haven't gotten around to checking how easy they would be to get here, like, I would like to get them through the library and in English (if original language). Also I can't remember all of them, cos I am very bad at writing them down. :D One of them was Martha Wells' Murderbot diaries.
🔖Which classic book or author do you think everyone should read at least once in their lifetime, and why? Famously (among my friends at least) my favorite classic author is Dostoyevsky. I adore the Brothers Karamazov, but I'm not sure I want to force anyone to read all 1k pages of it. But I definitely recommend everyone should pick something from the 19th century Russian literature.

I've never actually read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea but that art you posted has torn into my heart and just lives there now, I adore it and can't stop looking at it
Aww thank you very much! 💛 By the way, I highly recommend it!! 19th century books in general are often written in this light manner that makes them an easy read, and there’s place both for puns and for social justice, and the light tone doesn’t get in the way of drama when it matters : D

In regards to your question about how to say "Hey Good Looking" in Italian.
I would probably go with a "EHI BONAZZO" especially in regards to Ezio.
It is always VERY TRUE in regards to Ezio.
Tho, even a "Hey Manzo" wouldn't be to bad.😂😂😂
Oh, wow! I wasn't expecting an answer! 😂 But I'm happy for one!
I will definitely take note of both of those phrases for the future (the 'manzo' one, omg I'm DYING) for that handsome man! (And in general, if the occasion arises that I might ever need it, if you get my meaning. Ahem, ahem.)
Grazie, @nemo-of-house-hamartia! ❤️
