Woke up >:( and it's like. Oh I need to LEAVE. I need to ESCAPE. Not even just The Parents now but bro1 is making this house actively hostile to life with the way everyone has to tiptoe around his maybe breakup and moodiness and like sure he's not actively aggressive but why are all my routines and habits having to be altered so he can mope and be angry and moody and sad and become an alcoholic and possibly give himself an ED because we can't just sit him down and have a normal human conversation nooo bc he's the favourite child and therefore we just have to wait and deal until he's *ready* on his own. Which has not happened in his entire 23 yrs of life. But y'know. I can keep waiting ig.
Like yes yes pot and kettle when it comes to moodiness. But I See Doctors. I take Meds. I take Responsibility for My Actions and develop Coping Skills and Apologize and Don't Take It Out on other people. I actually CARE abt people other than myself and how my actions impact them, even if they're ppl I don't like or who have hurt me before.
#also when My morning routines are altered. brain scream#but no i can just cope with active mental distress from diagnoses brain disease#so the bitchy little baby can mope and stay out all night drinking vome home and puke and then be a bitch#when he has to go to work at 6am#like ues i feel bad i liked his gf hes sad#but also. like. not to be like well hes apathetic and selfish and callous but ...#he also made a joke abt abortion at dinner yesterday bc our 16yr old cousin is expecting#and it was so awful??? she WANTS this kid???#ugh ugh ugh ugh#i have a horrible strained relationship with each of my brothers#but each one is a different flavour of bad or dysfunctional#and this one. this one. i cant even get into it.#i love my brother. i need a shovel to love my brother#my parents both complain abt their adult child younger siblings#and then like. trear bro 1 like this which will make him become an adult manchild#ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh#truly. i need to fuckin move out. i need it#ill lose free food and rent monies and free laundry and utilities and ooen backyard garden space#but oh my god the emotional toll this is taking on constantly tiptoeing peacekeeping#IM FORCED INTO LYING BY OMISSION. I HATE LYING. IT MAKES ME WANT TO DIE.#franposting#we're supposed to share a car all summer and commute together sans our father#i might just take the bus. even tho i have to leave almost an hour earlier#i don't trust him. or his moods. esp when mildly hungover at 6am. and without our father there to moderate?#this sounds horrible but im a little afraid. (plus i cant be late everyday all summer bc of him)#like. once again. fuck me. i am the ONLY responsible child and i get so much shit

idk if u ship isengrim and eldain, but if u do how do u think caron would feel abt that 👀👀
To answer your question related to the ship, I ship them as much as most of the known Witcherverse ships (even those fucked up like Geralt/Vilgefortz, but those are only for the angst/pain, etc. though there are some that I don’t necessarily find ‘good ship material’). I have fallen in love with their vibes portrayed in fics and I would wish there were more on ao3 than they are currently. Hope my rambling makes sense, and with that, here comes Caron’s reaction and feeling about Isedain!
◉ - Any other question of your choosing
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
◉ - Any other question of your choosing
First of all, Caron believes themselves to be a functional adult elf… but they would certainly question the circumstances of their brother’s relationship. The question ‘How in the ever-loving fuck did my brother manage to court someone such as Isengrim?’ would be recurring several times throughout their reunion. In their eyes, Isengrim seems to be a complete antonym to ‘this current’ Eldain, from their personality, manners, and so forth.
That doesn’t mean they don’t support them, because they are totally in on the ship even steering it themselves! Especially, Caron gets along with Isengrim extremely well. Their friendship has sprouted out immediately, with both of them being decent dancers and their terrifyingly accurate knowledge of topics such as teas and mushrooms. There’s also a great influence of the wish to care for Eldain’s well–being. You could even say they are both keeping him in check, like some kind of weird parentship. This, of course, draws out Eldain’s complaining streak about how they both behave like a married pair of parents with him acting like a child.
His statement is of course dragging out the awkwardness where, your believed to be dead younger sibling, starts to act like a certified mother™️ right after they miraculously return . The cause of this behavior in Caron maybe jealousy over their older brother’s relationship. Things get even more complicated when your own brother has believed that you have been under 6 feet for several decades. Caron would wish everything would be as it was when it was only their family against the whole continent.
The bitter truth is that every one of them isn’t who they used to be. These years have changed them forever, either to good or worse, but there’s no force on the continent to change that. Privately though, Caron believes that their dear Eldain was better off without them. Their sudden reappearance has only brought chaos and confusion. Secretly, Caron regrets their reunion, because they can see how much pain Eldain is in because of it all.

@jennystahl​​ i had this filled out in my drafts for like 2 months now, sorry 😔 but here it is
4. What was the most common argument between them and whoever raised them?
There weren't really a lot of arguments until she got older. Despite her and her parents difficult relationship she usually obeyed and wasn't really allowed to say anything back, respect your elders and all that. Not that she ever really saw anything wrong with what her parents did, she never really questioned it and lamented the lack of freedom she had, but them forcing her to grow up too soon and get into the family business at an early age was perfectly normal for her -_-
8. What was their childhood/teenage bedroom like?
Her room in her old house in Frisco Fields was very, very pink surprisingly. She’s not very girly as an adult but she grew up in the fifties, thus her room had a pink wallpaper & bedsheets and all sorts of dolls her mom got her. I imagine it somewhat like this, as she got older she got rid of the childrens toys and replaced the stuff on the wall with posters of musicians. The beatles and beach boys as a teen :)
PRESENT
6. What is their current relationship with their family?
(this and number 7 were answered so im just copypasting it)
Complicated... the love is there and all that, it's more of a business relationship though rather than a parent-child thing, especially with her dad. It's nothing that she ever questions (until aforementioned therapy sessions with her friends), she grew up in an environment where affection isn't really something she sees often and almost all her friends have messed up relationships with their parents too so while there is some resentment she never really questions that the way they raised her might not be ideal :c
The relationship with her siblings is complicated as well, especially because they're both a LOT younger than her. She was an only-child until the age of 13 and moved out of her childhood home when they were eight and six years old so there's this weird disconnect but there's a relationship nonetheless, which is weird. Eldest daughter AND only child disease 😓Not to mention that her parents are looking to make her little brother head of the family because he's a boy or whatever.. drama!
7. Do they have a partner? How did they meet, and what’s their relationship like now?
Yes.. she and Ellis met on some random job in the Hollow in 1963 that her dad was taking her along with (he and Sammy did random deals together and were also good friends 😌) and Jenny was like wow how boring. What if I just talk to this this guy's sons instead.... she thought he was some annoying teenage guy and only really talked to him whenever necessary (when her dad's business trips to Sammy's got REALLY boring). She forced herself to hang out with him more after Lincoln went to Vietnam and realized he's not so bad so they became friends :)
In actual game canon nothing really happens because he dies, Jenny just becomes sad that her friends were killed (him, Danny, Sammy and maybe Michael too because of Juliet connection.. she doesn't give a fuck abt Giorgi anymore that little rat can die) and wonders if she liked that goofy little guy with the ugly shirts, but in any case it's too late now.
We're doing au's here though (also this is as of '68) so in the good timeline they get together in 1968.. sort of. It's not a friends with benefits thing, more that sort of relationship that you know will end sooner or later for various reasons, so you're kind of living in the moment and have fun while it lasts. It IS genuine and not just about hooking up from time to time of course, it's just not the kind of thing that was built to last because it's based off of a dumb 20 year olds friendship and one of them (Jenny) doesn't really plan on sticking around in New Bordeaux. But well, who knows what will happen 😏
FUTURE
5. Did they get married or have a family? Why? If otherwise, why not?
YES! Jenny + Ellis cringe wedding in the good timeline, when she returns from LA after her failed music career (it wasn't a complete failure, she just gives it up after landing one hit that plays on the radio over and over again). She has a daughter in 1972, miss Tracy :)
6. How do they react to the changing times? Are they adaptable or do they reject modernity?
She adapts somewhat to the changing times, starts wearing a 70s hairdo with feathered bangs and all that but she's still a 60's girl through and through 😌 the seventies are cool because a lot of things from the late sixties carry over (even if she misses the carefree vibe that decade had compared to the more depressing 70s), the eighties she kind of hates aesthetically. Not that she should complain, she's a milf around that time 🙄 Overall she’s adaptable but she keeps complainign about the 80s and later decades and talks about how much better the sixties were.
7. Are their friends still a part of their life? Are there people they are no longer in touch with, or newly important people?
YES... YES! 😤 she definitely still regularly meets with her old friend group, particularly juliet and gavin.. what we said about him and danny babysitting vinnie and tracy :-) Her family she would stay in touch with too but less so than her friends - she certainly keeps an eye on her younger siblings and tries to keep them out of the “family business”, probably unsuccessfully so 🙄 but she would try to be present for them, even if the large age gap kind of resulted in them becoming closer with each other rather than with Jenny :/
