#he was too afraid of them destroying or throwing it away so he'd sneak off to god knows where and learn how to play it from old

[virsancte]

good days aren't easy to come by

#simblr #ts4 legacy #valentine gen 4 #fun fact for context on why i care so much abt him finally choosing to play the piano on his own #but it's gonna get Long so strap in #basically. the guitar he used to have had been with him since he was like...... my god. probably about 15 #he bought it at a yard sale for pennies from an older woman #it belonged to her late son originally and it wasn't even . supposed to be a part of the sale in the first place. she just took a liking to #devin and figured that really it's better in the hands of someone who would use it than for it to collect dust in her garage forever #and he couldn't really practice at home. his parents... are not exactly the kindest people you've ever seen #he was too afraid of them destroying or throwing it away so he'd sneak off to god knows where and learn how to play it from old #youtube videos on his busted up phone #it quickly became Everything to him. his most prized possession. and it wasn't a shitty guitar either. the son was a professional musician #that's how ellie and devin met in the first place. he was playing at the market she used to sneak out to in the evenings to #and she instantly knew . this boy is going places and really they might as well go together #enough backstory of the backstory. long story short: he was struggling to make rent eventually and was out of vinyls to pawn off #so he had no choice left. it was either that or he'd get kicked out along with his sister. who was still struggling a lot w/ addiction #so he sold it. and it broke him. he's literally just not been the same since losing it #his sister stole him a guitar from a music shop she'd go to sometimes but it just wasn't the same and he had not played an instrument since #until now anyway #still not a guitar. but maybe someday #or he can find his old one and buy it again......... #lmfao if you made it here congrats. you win nothing bc im broke but i do respect you

Loving your stuff. Jinx and sister reader (and maybe some silco too) who makes a minor mistake during a job and has a hysterical panic attack thinking silco's going to punish her and then disown her. And silco is both horrified even at the idea and silently livid at whoever hurt her bad enough to make her so afraid. While jinx is all protective mode

Excellent request, thank you for sending this one in!

Jinx x Sister Reader - Headcannons of Reader Having a Panic Attack (Platonic)

(This does include Silco x Daughter Reader I just thought that Jinx x Sister Reader would work better as the title of this. Also it's been a while since I've experienced a panic attack so this is going off of my memory, correct me if it's a bad representation please!)

Warnings : Panic attacks, swearing

You would've probably been doing something like what Jinx was doing the first time we see her as a young adult. Guarding cargo, watching for the Firelights, that sort of thing.

The minor mistake in those situations would've been letting Jinx distract you which lead to the Firelights sneaking in and either destroying or stealing a majority of the things you were supposed to be protecting.

For the first time in a while, you felt stupid that you let your sister take your attention away from where you were supposed to be watching.

Then realisation hit you like a bus.

Silco, the man who saved you from abandonment and loneliness, might throw you out again because you fucked up.

At that thought, your heart felt like it tightened and you felt your palms get sweaty. It felt like your heart was going at the speed of a bullet. Though Jinx only noticed your breathing starting to speed up.

She'd call your name a few times before watching you collapse and hug yourself, tears falling from your eyes as dispair fell over you. It was like you were frozen in that position and it was terrifying.

Jinx acted quickly and ran through the dirty streets of the undercity with her barely conscious sister. Her worry worsening every second you acted like this.

She'd totally bust the door of The Last Drop down before running up the stairs to Silco's office, the people who were previously laughing and drinking completely silent at the sight of her.

When you get there, it doesn't matter if Silco's in an important meeting. She does not give a fuck and busts that door down too.

Silco looks the two of you up and down before his eyes fall to your face as Jinx explains that you just collapsed out of nowhere after the job went bad.

He'd freak the fuck out internally but would regulate his worry and get up calmly before walking over and grabbing you from Jinx and laying you down on the couch and demanding that Jinx monitor your condition while he finds a suitable doctor to treat whatever this is.

After a while, you get better and a doctor Silco found tells him that you had experienced a panic attack before leaving the three of you alone.

Jinx would ask why you were so stressed to the point of a panic attack and when you explain that you just didn't want Silco to drop you for failing, Silco is heartbroken. But when you tell them that it's happened before, they are both indeed, livid.

Silco would set a bounty on whoever made you feel that way. He wants them alive but wouldn't mind if somebody did the job for him.

Jinx is just angry but instead of destroying something, she understands that you need to be consoled and that destruction could come later. She sits down with you and wraps her arm around you if you allow her to and explains that you are perfect and that the guy you worked with before Silco and Jinx is an idiot to let go of you and your potential.

She is also a little sad that she was the one that distracted you from your task and would offer to take you out for your favourite food later as a way to apologise.

Silco can't help but be a little disapointed in himself. How could he let you, his daughter, think that he would do such a horrible thing? He wouldn't trade you and Jinx for the world.

Jinx would later take you out to blow some stuff up in an attempt to make you feel better.

Silco would leave small gifts for the two of you to let you know that he cares for you more than you could've ever imagined.

He would also lighten your work load if he felt like it's a little too much for you.

They basically just become a lot more aware of you and how your mind works so they can help you improve in a way that isn't damaging :)

BG3 progress! Last couple of sessions - getting a new addition for the camp library in a herbalist's cellar, and having a nice explore of some perfectly benign Sunlit Wetlands!

Had an interesting moment when they were in the apothecary, about to head into the cellar. Gale got hit by the Arcane Hunger bane, doubled over, and immediately ran outside (followed by Lae'zel). Still grouped up, it was just Gale specifically who removed himself from the rest of the group??

I mean if he was going to like... blow up, just going outside wouldn't do it, but it's like. He didn't want the others to see. And that growing relationship between Gale and Lae'zel came into play, too.

Went on down, fought the zombies. Made the discovery that the armour I gave Wyll didn't allow for spellcasting because it was too heavy, so... well...

Hey, needs must!

Got the book. It's kind of interesting how suitable it is that Astarion is the one to pick it up, given that he'd usually be the one disarming the trap on it. I actually did try having Tae pick it up instead, and Astarion immediately offered to take it instead, then got pissed off when they tried to destroy it (I reloaded the save), so yeah, I think it's his now. Plus he was the one doing the sneaking to get the amethyst, so I may just have to do a lot of save scumming to pass those checks XD;;

Relatedly:

Down south and into the swamps. Honestly I think this is the first time Astarion looks genuinely, truly scared, and I think the others notice too, and I think he notices that they notice. Yeah, it's not the hunter himself, but Cazador? That shit is haunting him. It's only been days away from him, compared to two hundred years.

Yeah, he throws in a joke. He's still genuinely afraid ;_;

A mild diversion for some attempted murder! Always fun to spice up camp life. And, later:

I love them.

Baa'd at Redcap. Got approval from Astarion and Karlach <3 Aside from feeding the baby owlbear, are there any other points where they both approve of something?

Please don't.

You know what, I bet.

Mirror conversation my beloved <3 Amused that Tae 2.0 got options for every companion - Tae 1.0 only got Karlach and Shadowheart. Don't think it was linked to approval, either, since their highest relationships were still with Gale and Wyll, and Karlach was in the single digits? Either way, did exactly the same this run, picking Karlach, getting approval and all.

Anyway. Already dumped all my thoughts/feelings/general yelling on the mirror scene in the link above, so in conclusion, centuries-old vampire said 🥺

The baby has returned <3

Just to cap it off, returned to the Selunite Outpost marker, venturing out just long enough to grab Phalar Aluve. Gotta respec Tae to give them proficiency in longswords, I think, the sword is literally dedicated to Eilistraee. Do druids generally use longswords? No not really. Does my Eilistraee-worshipping drow druid use a longsword? Well shit they do now. How different can it be to a big stick, right? :D;;

(Slowly been researching all I can about Drow and the like. Idea I have so far is 3/4 of Tae's grandparents were part of a group of Eilistraee followers who made it up to the surface. One ended up marrying and starting a family with a Wood Elf, which is where Tae got their eye colour from. Was raised Church of Eilistraee, also started following the Church of Silvanus when they started studying as a druid. Anyway. Point is. I want Tae to have that sword.)

Current approvals: Lae'zel 32, Astarion 35, Shadowheart 53, Karlach 70, Wyll 92, Gale 94. Next up: exploring the Underdark, and Tae being So Uncomfy because this is their people doing Deeply Shitty Things even if they're surface and have never been involved personally!
