SO for those of you that are not in the discord server and need disclaimer: i have been having trouble with this account for a while now and i can’t fix it for shit so i got sick of trying and decided to move to a new and different account with all my sideblogs as well. i won’t be deleting this one simply bc i might need it for info or to read back on shit i probably will need to remember for future replies but if you’re part of the group in hshq to not unfollow accounts bc they might get used again, this isn’t the case. it’s about to get real weird here w the urls so don’t mind it

“ she’s not so bad, it’s nice to have someone fuss over me, mamma never— ” he let his voice trail off, nobody mentioned stella anymore, not unless it was about her trial. he forgot sometimes that as much as she was his mother, she was also a criminal, a traitor, that she had a helped another in hurting his brother, nearly killing him. “ anyway, teodore probably isn’t coming because she makes sure he has three meals a day, plus snacks. he’s living the good life, i was living the good life. ” too embarrassed at having mentioned stella, he busied himself by playing with eva’s chubby baby fingers, catapulted back to when noe was just as delicate, that was until she mentioned vaughn. “ he left ? someone probably mentioned it but i’ve just been checked out, not paying attention. ” the information processed quickly, but it still made little sense, they had been so happy in rome. “ well, seems like he is his dad’s son after all. prettier, but just as stupid. ” it was his loss anyway. “ i’m not allowed in debate class. too much of a dick apparently. but i actually did miss everyone. ” sav stared at the floor, mapped the patterns in the carpet before looking back up, “ and there’s this girl… ”
“ ei, i fuss over you. you just never give me a warning so that i can prepare. ” barbie wasn’t sure if the cut out sentence meant he was aprehensive about mentioning his mother to her or just in general. either way it made it very clear that it was a part of the subject that should be ignored which is why she did just that. “ of course, that’s probably why i’m her least favourite. ” because turning down food was something barbie did very often and their grandmother was offended every time. “ don’t be cruel. it’s a-- working itself out. ” and that was all she could say about the matter because it was basically all she knew at the moment. the blonde had to laugh at him mentioning not being allowed in debates. “ i don’t know why this comes as a surprise. i couldn’t stay in uni’s history classes, my teachers said i was too close to the subject. whatever that meant. ” but that wasn’t as important as salvatore’s next words. “ there it is. do i get more than ‘there’s this girl’ ? think this answer through, i might just open and share this wine you just brought to talk about this. ”

❛ why do you think i disappeared ? ❜ turns out , getting away from everything didn’t really help him organise his thoughts , but there was no way of getting out of it . omari barely has an understanding of the situation himself . ❛ uhm , no . i told you to burn those . they should be wiped out of existence already , i can’t believe you STILL have them . ❜ he takes a long , healthy swig from his drink before setting it down , allowing the comfortable fog to surround his brain before speaking . ❛ i literally have no idea . the situation in europe is messy as fuck , & dad thinks aligning ourselves with the victims will make us look desirable to the drc , or whatever . didn’t think i’d be back in this situation for , like , ever . ❜
“ i honestly didn’t stress about it, you do that all the time. did it with that thing with your father, with fanni, with that girl in uni with the pregnancy scare... ” and then he decided he’d put down her door when she did the same, what a hypocrite. she knew if it were too serious she’d be getting a call --- not that an arrangement wasn’t a big deal but barbie imagined he wanted to make sure there was no way out of it before telling her. “ right, just like you burned every last compromising picture of me you’ve ever had. ” he had some leverage on her, she had just the same amount of ammo on him. it was how every friendship worked. “ or it could make you look like fools if they end up losing this fight but i guess you stand a chance now that france is getting a taste of their own venom. ” not medicine.

he’s silent for a few moments , trying to think of the right way to answer her question . ❛ some nights are better than others , ❜ ale repeats instead , thinking it’s enough of an answer without explicitly saying it . ❛ that’s fair . makes me wonder how long they expect to keep us here , in this programme . ❜
“ i guess. ” it clearly made him uncomfortable so she decided against asking about treatments and doctor’s appointments as she wanted to. if ale wanted to tell her something he would, she didn’t have to ask. “ until the war’s over, i imagine. ” and that could be a few more years if it kept going the way it were. “ speaking of, you had another meeting with the austrian didn’t ya ? how did that go ? ”

“oh? is vaughn ordering hits now?” if he was, natasja might have to actually call him. she was… coming into the market, if aleks didn’t cut it out, “i don’t know, barbie. he seems more set in this than he’s been set in anything. it’s - i don’t know what i’ll have to do, other than fighting it out with the duchies. and, on top of everything else, zahra and i are fighting, too.” she sighs, “i don’t know how much longer i can keep it up.”
“ oh, no, no. i meant he could definitely give you the whole philosophical point of just how unethical even thinking about it is. ” a frown formed as natasja mentioned her and zahra fighting but she has to focus on the other things natasja said first before being worried about her best friend’s relationship. “ then you do it. do whatever you need to get what’s rightfully yours. he gave it up, he has no right to fight to have it back. you know i’ll help you with anything in my power. why are you and zahra fighting anyway ? ”

aribraganca:
perhaps it was the very condescending way her sister spoke to her — or at her, really — that made ariel blurt out the very first thought that came into her mind. “yes, because i don’t already have severe depression, right? what’s a little more! i’m not an idiot, i know.” her tone was sharp, for once, riddled with frustration and feeling very much warm around her neck. “yes, of course, temporary fun is worth the risk. i don’t want to alarm you, b, but i’ve done a lot of that years ago, and when they checked my brain after spain they told me nothing was even remotely alarming.” her eyes narrowed as she looked at her sister, jaw clenched and thoroughly agitated. “i know it’s bad for me, everyone knows that, but if i could be a little bit more fun at parties about once a year, i think it’s a decent enough trade-off.”
“ so instead of treating it you’re deliberately choosing to make it worse ? that contradicts your statement. ” ariel was indeed an idiot to think that way. it pissed barbara off that everyone seemed to ignore just how terribly it could ruin them --- how terribly it already was. “ and my eating disorder wasn’t alarming until it basically put me in a coma. biel’s racing wasn’t alarming until the accident almost killed him. everything is harmless until it isn’t anymore, you can’t just sit there and wait for the one time it will go wrong because you won’t be getting a warning. ” she sighed. “ if you’re going this far just to be fun at parties maybe you shouldn’t attend any more. ”

“oh, lighten up! petty’s not even an insult, these days.” weren’t they all at least a little petty? he sobered up slightly as she continued, though her words still ended up pulling another soft laugh out of him. “what are they so incensed about? i’ve kept a close eye on the news, and there’s really nothing worth starting so much conflict over.“ so italy cut ties with san marino, so what? was this about the san marinese crown prince? a tragedy, but in truth, the man should’ve had better security. he shrugged, held up his hands. “my apologies. maybe you can pull some strings to get us all out of here.”
“ let me rephrase it then: i don’t accept anything that’s not a compliment being thrown at me. ” it wasn’t exactly a lie. a joke, obviously, but not that much of a lie. she’d been called things so much worse than petty and brushed it off, he should know to not believe barbie to be insulted by that. “ see, that’s exactly the point. it makes zero sense. if anything, the suspicion should be all on them for acting so harshly on nothing. this is so very obviously personal. ” but that had never been a doubt, others just failed to see it. “ i’e got more important things to worry about, you can enjoy your little moment under the sun. literally, new york is quite freezing this time of the year, isn’t it ? or is your home washington now ? ”

vaughn-a:
he found himself nodding again and again as it was the only thing he could think of doing. he had longed to hear these words to leave her lips. the admission, the repentance, the acknowledgment of her wrongdoing. were these the exact words he had hoped to hear ? no. but for a while he had been convinced that he would never get her to say anything. that one day he’d wake up and find divorce papers waiting for him by his door. he took a deep breath and for the seven hundredth time nodded. “ i’m sorry. ” he needed to elaborate. “ i was not as considerate as i could have been in that situation. ” and if he had been even a bit more courageous, he would have talked to her the first time he had noticed a change in her physique. he hadn’t dared to force the conversation they were having now in case it would have torn them apart for good. “ i don’t want to end things. i don’t. ” and he could say that loudly and clearly because it seemed that barbara didn’t want him out of sight. “ i just… ” again, he took a deep breath. he drew back in his chair and turned his head to look out of the window. “ i need to know your sense of justice doesn’t come second to your family. ” though, it could be that her sense of justice was warped. it was a fear he had but hoped the conversation would help him get rid of it. “ i need to know this isn’t something you can justify again and again. ”
“ it’s in the past. ” it was a situation without precedent and they were both hot headed when the conversation happened, it only made sense that neither of them knew how to deal with it and that it went terribly wrong when they tried. but it proved how they still had to work on their communication --- it had been a problem in the past and turned to be a problem in the present. if they were to go on with their marriage it had to change. his admission of not wanting to divorce her immediately could’ve made barbie huff out and completely lose her posture in pure relief but instead she gave him a weak smile. one that did not show just how happy those words made her but made it clear that she was beyond glad to hear them. “ i got rid of it. the gun. you’re right, it was never safe to have it. ” and she came to that conclusion after many nights repeating everything vaughn had told her during their fight over and over again. “ i was taught that family is the most important thing in the world and there are no limits when it comes to protecting mine but i guess that’s kind of misleading. ‘cause our kids are the most important family i have and i was putting them at risk without realising it. ”

leobraganca:
oh, what a headache. he’d now be dealing with dramatics on both sides: barbara’s brute judgement and leonor’s pitying contention for herself. “ there’s two SIDES to every coin. “ and both would be stubborn enough to ignore the other. “ she’s in her twenty-somethings and she doesn’t want a parent looming over her. ALL of us were that way once. we just didn’t have each other breathing down our backs. “ each of the braganças had sacrificed much to be here – it was his prerogative to salvage some normalcy. he rolls his eyes, “ it’s no use deciding on an issue without seeing both sides. “ or was that too bipartisan of him ? he nods, and waits a moment before posing his question. “ so you’re choosing italy OVER spain ? “ the question has already been answered of course – savoy blood was so much thicker than water. had he an ounce of it, perhaps he’d have been more highly considered. “ peace with spain means NOTHING, then ? “
“ you’re right, what she does need is help and you’re not offering it by patting her head and telling her it’s okay to do whatever she feels like. ” for god’s sake, the time to make mistakes were one’s teenage years, early twenties were the years to get the life together and learn about responsibilities. but she couldn’t blame leonardo for not understanding that, he’d only understood what responsability was when barbie shoved it down his throat about a year prior, in his mid-thirties. his question made her frown and chuckle at the same time. no, he could not had had any doubt about that, could he ? “ because you think there was a possibility of it being the other way around ? leonardo, italy has done nothing but cut ties with san marino. if you think their latest actions aren’t out of pure political persecution, you’re as blind as anyone on their side. peace with spain means nothing to us as it does to them, seeing how they throw it away in every opportunity they find. pulling a reason to come after us out of thin air makes it very obvious. ”

“Maybe not. It’s just every year for the past six years, I would spend only a month with her, two if I’m lucky. Having her with me now is my chance to make up for that and bringing her here everyday is the opposite. I don’t want her to feel like I’m passing her off.” It was that way of thinking that led to Luciana to practically beg that Noemi stays with her when she and her brothers discussed the arrival of the youngest Savoy. “I really don’t know you do it, taking care of the three of them alone.” She wanted to ask then why Barbie was still alone but that did not seem like a good conversation to have when her kids were nearby so she decided to save it for when they’re alone. “We did. We thought it would be better for her learn through classes with people her age than through tutors.”
“ you need to stop viewing it as you passing her off and start seeing it as allowing her to be a child by letting her play with people around her age. even then she’ll be here an hour but have an entire day with you. ” she wasn’t trying to pressure luci though but what barbie meant was that kids had to be kids and the best way to let that happen was having the girl interact with other kids. trauma could very much take the brightness out of a young mind. “ it’s easier when you do it gradually. not easy, easier. i definitely struggled a lot with dani at first, if it weren’t mamma... ” she’d be lost even then. “ i didn’t know she speaks spanish. but i guess you’re right. ” she was more concerned about the safety side of it all but wouldn’t want to inflict that worry into her cousin at the moment.

❛ i’ve knocked before , i think . maybe it’s a sign that you should start locking your door . ❜ perhaps they all should , is what he wants to say , but he decides to leave that part out . he relaxes into the sofa , lifting his ankle onto his knee . ❛ everything , i suppose . being here , etcetera . it’s better ; not brilliant , but some nights are better than others . ❜
“ yes, ‘cause that’s going to stop you. ” for all she knew they’d go as far as lying to her security to get in there for food and wine. had happened before, would probably happen again. “ off the meds ? ” because that was the important part. if he was managing to sleep at night but only with the help of pills then he wasn’t really managing to sleep at night. “ being here is bittersweet. i need to be here but i don’t enjoy it. never did. ”

❛ i know that look . i’ve seen it plenty of times when i’ve done something questionable , ❜ he manages to laugh , even if this isn’t of his own doing . he does that mental countdown in his head again that he’s been doing ever since the arrangement was mentioned . ❛ i knew i choose you to be my best friend for a reason . ❜ a little lighter now ; the relief of a drink makes it a little easier to bear . ❛ i’m never getting wrinkles . that’s only a sign of ageing , & i’m IMMORTAL . ❜
“ so you admit it’s questionable ? ” that was easy. the words even took a laugh out of her as she dumped the vermouth freshly poured in the glasses on the sink, filling it now with the frozen gin and beginning to peel the lemon. “ should i get the phone and remind you of what you looked like at seventeen ? because if that does not prove your aging... ” well. he’d aged well. not something she’d admit but omari looked a lot better than he did when they first met. she went back to the sofa, handing her best friend his own frozen glass and keeping hers. “ let’s hear it, what in the absolute fuck is that about ? ”

aribraganca:
she nodded patiently, smiled a little in encouragement as her sister spoke. but as the word ‘addiction’ slipped out, ariel had no choice but to let a grimace consume her features. “i wouldn’t call something i do a few times a year an addiction.” she started slowly, tilting her head before they slipped into the car. there was no use in lying now, under her sister’s sharp gaze. she will see right through her! “if anything, maybe i should smoke a little less.” writing makes her smoke, painting makes her drink, and parties makes her want to be a little more shiny than usual. “it’s a party thing, and no one was supposed to hear! you’re the one with extra sensitive ears.”
“ severe depression, panic attacks, paranoia, increasing loss of the ability to form and maintain memories --- verbal memories even ---, hallucinations, loss of self control, inability to produce serotonin without the drug, damage the liver to the point of no return, internal bleeding for the raise in body temperature by overworking yourself physically which is the main point of doing it, right ? and those are for the usage, not the addiction. ” her memory had not been fried by the drug so she managed to recite almost everything she’d learned in her research about it. research she’d done for knowing tha conversation would happen at some point. “ i couldn’t give less of a shit about others hearing or knowing, what i care about is you and what you’re doing to yourself. this party thing could very much kill you. is the temporary fun worth the risk ? or were you not aware of them at all ? ”

STARTER FOR : @barbiebraganca .
LOCATION : barbie’s hotel room .
❛ sorry for just coming over . i would’ve texted , but by the time you messaged me back , i would probably already be at your door , ❜ ale laughs when he enters his cousin’s room , settling into the sofa . his eyebrows crease with concern . ❛ how are you feeling ? i feel like we haven’t really spoke since i got back . ❜
“ at least this time you knocked. ” compared to the million times in thailand where she’d get home and ale would already be there, this was a positive change. not that she’d ever minded the company, a little warning on the other hand was nice. she gave him an inquiring look as ale made the question. “ that depends on what exactly i’m feeling about. generally i’m good. how’s your sleep ? ”

“ wishful thinking, nonna only does two things: she spoils her grandchildren and meddles in their lives. ” it was near impossible to explain to the woman why he disappeared off to helsinki for a weekend without telling her the truth, luckily lies always rolled easily off a savoy’s tongue, and he was no exception. “ i’m hardly shocked. besides, one bottle of a good red is hardly enough to go around, two is always much better. ” sav snorted a laugh at her question, apt as it were he knew his cousin well enough to know she was trying to sniff out the truth. “ believe it or not, i missed the chaos of this place. and i’m still in the process of convincing teodore that he needs to join us, i figured my coming here might speed up the process. ”
“ that’s why i applaud you for staying there with her all this time. willingly. don’t get me wrong, i love the woman to death, but i couldn’t handle two months of her questioning. ” she was also tired of telling people that there was absolutely no plan on having more kids in the near or far future. “ sav, vaughn and i have not been together since august. ” and the only reason she felt the need to reassure that was how oblivious her cousin seemed to be to the whole situation. or maybe he’d forgotten. either way the conversation was a bit uncomfortable for her. “ doubt that too, i’m convinced the only chaos you’re capable of missing is debate class. and your brother’s a lost cause, give up. ”

@barbiebraganca
“is there a scale for morality on politically motivated murder?” natasja asks, her tone actually a bit light, “he didn’t apologize, barbie. he refused to. and then he insisted he was going to be king - i just can’t deal with him, i knew things wouldn’t just settle out, it’s impossible for my life to go well for more than a month.”
for a little while --- and that was until natasja finished saying her thoughts aloud --- barbie stopped breathing and her eyes went wide, she almost sighed in relief once the brunette spoke again. “ maybe ask vaughn, i’m sure he knows the answer. ” but nat wouldn’t be able to catch the hidden meaning behind her words and that was sad. “ he’s out of it. i asked why he came and he said if he told me, he’d have to kill me. if you want, i’m sure we can both force him into a psychoanalyst’s clinic. ”
