ok so here's the stuff from the replies:

margueritedemarigny i ~do think they've lived there for multiple generations!! i feel like they've been there centuries, and probs don't know exactly when they first got there or anything, but probs like to ~claim that they've ~always been there tho idk if that's actually true hahaha but i def think it's been a long time! forgotteneithne @margueritedemarigny whoops not me doing unnecessary plotting but was a frost one of the most recent (if not the most recent?!) stewards of malconaire?? forgottenronan @forgotteneithne you KNOW im allll abt that unnecessary plotting!!!!!! slkjfalksjfdf ooooh that's a good question!! certainly ~could have been *insert eye emojis here* forgotteneithne @forgottenronan ASDKSAHDUIS OR if not the most recent than maybe one of the first or many of them had been from the frost family and that's just ANOTHER reason eithne's over here putting cillian in her marriage conditions ;) forgottenronan @forgotteneithne honestly!! i was lowkey thinking that their dad died pr suddenly and early on, and that that's part of why lord m sort of took them under his wing a bit, but esp if their dad had been his stewart!!! and/or many prev frosts had served many prev malconaires, that'd frankly make sm sense re: bringing them into the household etc!!!!! rather than just helping rando orphans in such an intimate way!!!! *eyes emojis* forgotteneithne @forgottenronan omg I LOVE THISSSS!!! <3 honestly so on brand for the malconaires <3 imagining lord m being like "i will help these children!" (and also kinda get the sons he never had!)

forgottenronan @forgotteneithne THE SONS HE NEVER HAD STOPPPPP DKSJFSDF but also YASSSSSSS THE FROST/MALCONAIRE SIBLING CONTINUUM <3333333 this honestly might be another reason ronan and cillian are so protective of them, too, bc in addition to the familial love, they also owe sm to bran's (i just realized i can actually use his name now!!) kindness as well since obv they're not well to do and i always kinda imagined their mom was of delicate health and so it probs extended her lifetoo sdfdf forgotteneithne @forgottenronan EVERYTHING AT MALCONAIRE IS SO WHOLESOME I CANNOT. and their mom!! omg lady m was def like "obvi i need a lady's maid who mostly just hangs out with me and doesn't actually do much work, if any, at all!" forgottenronan @forgotteneithne kate!!!!! omg that's so preshhhh i was legit abt to suggest that maybe she was her lady's maid, too!! laksjdfkjldsf also omggg its cute AND sad them being besties and being pregnant at the same time w aoife/saoirse bc i feel like saoirse was either born just before or maybe even soon after her dad's demise so i feel like the boys, at least, were all the more in want of family and just <3333 also what if bran kept her on even after sorcha died bc of tbc all this...and then she was one of the first valentina let go when she got hold of the estate -- if the math checks out on that timing wise, anyway...which actually idk if it would bc i believe that would've then been only about two years ago and i was thinking mrs frost has probs been gone longer than that atp so nm!! -- maybe valentina wanted to get rid of her when she first appeared but bran wasn't having it and it was an early cause of friction esp bc val almost tbc def assumed he had kept her on and now wouldn't let her go bc of an affair...ommmgggg so she might legit think the frosts are his illegit kids alksjdflkjf SCREAM forgotteneithne @forgottenronan AHHH YES MORE VALENTINA DELUSIONS I.LOVE.IT. but you know bran would've kept her on after sorcha died! i feel like at that point she was probs an important part of the girls' lives as well and he wouldn't want to take away another person they care about. but you KNOW valentina didn't like mrs frost much! and she probs didn't like valentina right back and just went on about how wonderful sorcha was and no one will ever match her and kinda poor valentina! giadesstrin @forgotteneithne Valentina: ‘the fact that they look nothing alike and nothing like bran is irrelevant!’ No but if she thinks there’s even a chance their brand that to her is all the more evidence they’re in cahoots! Tho even shr probs doesn’t think there’s an eithne/cillian affair going on if they’re actually si kings do I’ll have to decide what would be funnier/more entertaining (alternately maybe only one frost is bran’s in her head it smth idk 😂🤦‍♀️💀) but ANYWAYYYYY omg they def did nottttt... Even if the possible mistress suspicion hadn’t come into it, her closeness w the beloved dead wife was reason enough for Valentina to resent mrs frost (her names caoimhe btw!) and obv caoimhe had plenty of reasons to dislike Valentina hahaha tho I’m sure she did her best to be respectful for bran and the girls’ sake! Maybe she sort of transitioned into a governess/nursemaid to the girls after sorcha died/a lady’s maid fir eithne as eithne hit a little older? @forgottenbrigit @forgotteneithne oh and I meant to say!!!! You know she did!!!! She was singing sorchas praises continuously!!!! I feel like Valentina probs thinks of caoimhe as her own personal mrs Danvers honestly 😂🤦‍♀️ tho she deffff wasn’t that at allll 😂😂😂 forgotteneithne @giadesstrin ahh omg i LOVE all of that! honestly even if valentina had wanted to be a "new mom" for them, they already had caoimhe! <3 also imagining caoimhe was the one who was like "ronan, hold aoife please!" and then ronan was like "welp i will now and forever do everything to protect this bb"

forgotteneithne @giadesstrin omg YES! Her own Mrs Danvers-- I love it! Valentina's alternative history is my favorite thing lololol But just ANOTHER reason why she doesn't like Cillian! How has he kept his position this long?! giadesstrin @forgotteneithne they already had caoimhe!!! 🥺😩 honestly tho!! That probs did play a role there bc I do think Valentina initially tries—tbqh even w/o caoimhe it was doomed bc her vers is taking them out to buy smth and then not talking to them again until she’s scolding them bc she’s been forcibly reminded of their existence and ~then being dramatic bc they do t love her like they should even tho she legit bribed them two weeks ago!!! What more can she possibly do??!?!!? No but caoimhe in tbc Fairness probs ~was a stumbling block bc she was occupying that place in their heart while actively working yo keep sorcha’s memory alive AND disliking Valentina tbqh and while I’m sure Valentina blames her entirely and that’s just not true, it probs was a factor tbf adggdsfg eeeee!!! Caoimhe said ‘take care of her, ronan’ and Ronan said ‘WITH MY LIFE!’ Dhkhfdgjjfg 🥺😩👏 its Canon!!!! forgotteneithne @giadesstrin I still kinda feel bad for valentina because she wasn't doing herself any favors but also... most people weren't either lol also completely off topic but now imagining a (friendly) stand off where ronan tries to tell eithne something about how to take care of aoife and she's like "exCUSE me sir?" (but also she fr loves how much he cares for her sister so she'd probs listen lol) giadesstrin @forgotteneithne Valentina: that woman tried to kill me! [footage not found] afjkhdfjkh honestly cillia s job security gets more baffling all the time but if that ain’t in character fir him… 😂😂😂 no but??? I think she literally fired everyone else who ciukd do what he ciukd abd he’s the only person loyal enough (to the girls!) to stick around at the rate she’s offering! That’s his i justify it to myself anyway 😂😂😂 @forgotteneithne oh she def wasn’t but yeah it’s honestly a sad situation for everyone involved! Unfortunately she’s chosen to visit that on her stepdaughters in the present in an awful way frankly!! Ronan: she likes it when you clap as you turn when you sing this lyric! Eithne: … Heehee two firstborns butting heads!!! No but that probs ~does happen tbqh but they probs do know deep down that they’re both just tryna he’ll even if it’s frustrating in the moment 😂🥺

sjklfjdfdksljfsd eithne being so proud of him!!!! and meanwhile i do think that his own family reacted w a mixture of pride, yes, but i think also they def tried to talk him out of it, but he was so sure it would all come well if only they stood up and fought!!!! and he couldn't be dissuaded!!! bc it could only go poorly if they ~didn't fight and obv that was def true but i do think he was equally convinced that w the guardians on their side and good on their side and right on their side -- how could they possibly lose????

and cillian def isn't any wiser than ronan don't get me wrong, but he did know that would mean it was all on him!!! and he was so young at the time yknow and the idea of losing his brother after losing their dad (and then possibly their mom), and having to raise saoirse all on his own was so horrifying to him!

and idk exactly when this all went down but im guesing that either saoirse was so small i feel like she probs didn't fully understand what was happening but she knew her brothers were fighting and that ronan was saying he was gonna go away but he couldn't say when he'd come back and it was all so much!!! OR, she was probs abt of the age that she was about to go to/off in lorcan, ~anyway and either wasn't really able to tell him much of what she thought or was trying to find common ground between her brothers while also tryna balance her own imminent life change, but probs being waaaaay more balanced abt it all than cillian bc she was always doing typical ~middle sibling~ stuff like that there i feel like hahaha even as a lil kid tbqh and that's how she got stuck being the voice of reason in the fam today hahah

and ronan totally understood their concerns, but i think he knew too that the malcoanires would take care of them, and im not sure if coimhe was still alive or not, but he def felt they'd all look after e/o if she was, and all the more that he had to do it for her -- protect her other kids -- if she wasn't!!

but yeah cillian didn't really express his pride till ronan was gone, so idk if ronan ever really knew cilian felt it tbqh, bc cillian was too busy tryna convince him ~not to go if cillian couldn't go w him!! (bc i feel like cillian was too young at the time, and besides ronan was def like WE CANT BOTH GO! MALCONAIRE NEEDS ONE OF US!) but ANYWAY!! the point is, i know that eithne's support meant the world to him esp bc there was all this conflict at home!!! and her actually being proud of him!! she got a lil forehead smooch for being so dear <3

you know cillian can't actually keep a damn thing from eithne, no matter how hard he might try HAHAHAHA but honestly he probs didnt really try ~that much in this case, besides keeping ronan's location a secret bc he means to take that one to his grave!!!! he aint giving up his brother <3 not that he doesn't trust eithne completely!! <3 but he didn't wanna put ~her in that position either! so yeah!! i def think he gave up the whole story to eithne when she asked, and was probs a lil surprised she didn't want aoife to know, honestly, but cillian aint gonna question that...he's just not gonna make the dramatic declaration to all the malconaire girls that he was planning five seconds earlier HAHAHA which is probs a good thing since probs the last big news he'd brought was probs of the defeat/bran's death so!!! fun stuff all around w his news after the varmonts!

honestly im still sort of thinking abt what i want that attack to have been -- part of me is like 'maybe he ws helping someone being savaged by the varmonts!' ive even thought abt him tryna save ppl from the pyre walk, since i think there was a final round of burnings w the court seer after roderick took over (and of course neven now when new witches oppop up, he burns them too but now they get trials instead of being rounded up and burned on suspicion alone so that's, uhhh, smth ig??? lsjaflkjsjldf) and esp bc saoirse has some seer attributes and so probs got caught up in all that (he was probs too late to help brigit when she got caught up in it tho bc i think that was before the final surrender, but fortunately valentina was there to save brigit -- words i never thought id write! kaljsdflkjsdf)

but also i can legit see, esp w all his ptsd, just straight up seeing a couple dudes standing around in varmont uniforms and seeing red and attacking them so yeah!! idk!! but either way roderick is coming down on that kinda thing like a hammer so he's still wanted either way!

poor eithne! but i def agree!! i do think she was the girl that all the boys in malcoanires would just fall silent and watch w shining eyes when she walked past honestly hahahaha you know bran had a perpetual headache dealing w all that till she went away to court hahahaha

i def think ronan was super lowkey abt it like he never in any way thought anything could or should happen between them, and was just like 'wow' *heart eyes* whenever she was near and jumping in to help if she needed smth a touch more enthusiastically than w her sisters (except aoife but in a totally different way bc aoife is baby sister <3), and that was abt it in terms of outward behaviors -- he def never said a thing! and never had any idea that she would or could ever feel the same way abt ~him! he just thinks she's neat™ and honestly she's everything a true lady/lord should be!! and he's here to support <3333 ronan to this day like 'if more of the world were like eithne, we'd all live in paradise!...as it is, there's only one of her so we gotta fight for freedom, lads!'

also...so sorry this got so longggg aksjflkjsdfj

OOC | Ronan & Eithne

so ronan def views eithne as a sister/cousin sort and wants to look out for her no matter what!! like his siblings, ronan grew up around malconaire, but when he heard of the war, he left to go fight as a soldier, not staying put to defend specifically malconaire, like cillian did, so he saw all sorts of fighting all over the place, and i think may even have been a soldier before war came ~to astaira so, one way or another, he's been fighting for astaira against roderick for years and years, and this defeat was literally his worst nightmare

knowing that the malconaires have suffered particularly cruelly since the war is a knife in his heart, and he's esp horrified at the recent development of cassimir -- since im surE cillian has told him abt that lakjsdfkjdjsf but yeah i doubt he's seen her since he attacked some varmonts and became a wanted man, but he might sneak over to be like DONT DO IT EITHNE DONT DO IT he does NOT have a high opinion of the vasilievas, esp since cassimir refused to fight w lord m!!!

edit: im also realizing...i think ronan had a bit of a thing for eithne, back in the days just before the war smh i doubt he ever said/did anything abt it but lsdkajfjkdsf here we are hahaha

[forgottenronan]

oooooh this is such an interesting question!! ok so i do think a big part of it would hinge on whether or not ronan knows aria used seer-powers to heal him? bc h is understanding of seers is that they are by nature healers so if she was literally just following her instinct to heal, well, he can't really reasonably be mad at her for healing to nearest injured person!!! as big as a mistake as that cearly was!!!

im also wondering if arthur wasn't injured in the resistance's attempt to free aria in which case its even more like YOU HELPED HIM KEEP YOU A PRISONER??? (and also they probs would've imprisoned and/or killed arthur himself tbf -- ronan's varmont policy aint exactly forgiving) and tbf i don't think arthur knew exactly what was going down (and possibly aria, herself, didn't either?) -- just that they were in danger and he had to protect them both from these random bandits that were savaging them, not that he was like ~actively imprisoning aria by doing all that hahaha but still! (also arthur is def the sort that like fought off these bandits, rode off w aria, and then collapsed half an hour later bc he got stabbed during the fight and never mentioned it, leaving aria to try and get both herself and an unconscious and severely injured prince the rest of the way back on her own lakjsfkljsfj dumbass you mentioned that marian would always freak out if her sons were unwell and i feel like as a result arthur learned to hide it so as not to scare her bc he is v protective of his mama <3 but yeahhh honestly its a mistakE esp in this situation!)

also i picture this going down smth like this: arthur sees the abndits and assumes that they're assassins

arthur: fear not, my lady! these ruffians are here for me

rebels: bold, coming from a dead man. perhaps you should speak to us more softly, boy. in these woods the varmont name is not known and we are as close as it comes to a king anymore.

arthur: enough talk. if you want to kill me, come and try it already.

~smth along those lines~ w arthur honestly hoping to provoke a duel bc that's best case scenario vs tryna fight a whole band of ppl alone w/o armor etc but yeah i don't think it went that way for him obv hahahaha fortunately for him, he don't go nowhere w/o his sword and his primary attribute is being a great warrior, so he ~can hold his own for a bit even w an ambush like this specifically designed to take him out! lakjsdfkljsdfjk

honestly if ronan knows that siobhan's outside the castle??? (roderick would defff want that hushed up but i feel like ronan has to know between cillian and @forgottenciara?) but either way i defff think he'd be on the lookout for her if he knows!! the staffords being close to the malconaires, she's practically a (distant) cousin to him ;D and even if she weren't, having one of the true princesses would def unsettle roderick and give the gerneal populace a reason to gather round them etc etc so yeah!! so many having her would be great so they're def on the same page abt that!! (also eilia too is def sort of telling herself the same narrative re: soibhan's situation and she lowkey knows it may not be but i don't think she wants to be in any way dissuaded on that tale, either!!)

OOC | Ronan & Aria

sooooo obv ronan was raised in the astairan faith, but i think he's stopped believing that there's any higher power out there that cares abt humanity and that the guardians are just comforting lies etc etc etc but if he knew that aria and brigit can see them etc i think that'd help change his mind bc these are ppl he trusts!! like...he knows saoirse is a believer, and claims she can 'sense' them, but i think he sees this as smth comforting she chooses to believe/do to cope w everything, but once its this many ppl he believes in having these pr concrete exerpeinces (as opposed to saoirse's non-concrete form of sensing), i feel like that could help change things for him!!!!

in any case, i don't think he ~does know so here we are laksjdfkljdsf but yeah he def wants to free the staffords!!!! idk if he thinks monarchy is the best way to go, anymore, bc i think he's a lil bit of an anarchist atp tbqh, but i do think he thinks that if anyone can pull off being a good ruler its the staffords <333333

[forgottenronan]

ronan to sebastian after spotting him within a mile of aoife (let alone actually talking to her!!!): so you have chosen death

ikr!! i dont think ~any of thought 'you know whose probably the chill one in this family? cillian!' but here's ronan to make us rethink all of that lkajdksfljsdkjf (jk jk we ALL know the chill one is most definitely saoirse aklsdjfkjsdf) no but honestly !!! aoife ~is his sister and that's that and no one gonna convince him otherwise she's saoirse's twin (also cryin imagining mama frost and lady malconaire chatting together abt being pregnant at the same time!)

so how long its been since aoife's seen him is probs gonna depend a bit on the timeline we establish bc im thinking that ronan ran off to fight and soldier pr much as soon as roderick got close enough/ronan got old enough! he was def working around the farm w cillian etc before that but i think he'd always dreamed of being a great knight and like defending the needy and innocent and like!! this was his chance to be a hero, yknow? and uhhh that didn't turn out as sweet as it is in fairy tales but yeah i think he fought all across astaira and possibly even outside of it! for astaira's allies when eilia would occasionally send forces out etc.

he was def part of the contingent still ~in astaira when roderick attakced, and even fought at malconaire but yeah! i also don't think he stopped at malconaire like cillian did to look after the malconaires -- he knew cillian had that -- and he went on to fight them at the captol. he did stop at malcoanire after the surrender and probs ~did see them then but he was def a different ronan atm than he'd been when he'd left to go fight but then the ladies were probs different too having been through what ~they'd been through so yeah. just bad stuff...and yeah i don't think it was too v long at all before he couldn't take it any more and he attacked the varmont soldiers and yeahhh she hasn't seen him since i dont think SOB

but he def keeps tabs on her and her sisters via cillian!! and he's always glad to hear when things are going well. i do think cillian sometimes makes things sound a lil better than they really are bc he knows ronan needs ~some good news/hope but yeah he's def gonna tell him when things really go to hell soon lakjsdfaklsdf 'time to fight for malconaire once again, brother!' nd he'll also def tell him abt eithne's engagement bc he doesn't think he can really keep that a secret but yeah that might provoke a visit from ronan which is deffff ill advised

cillian: pls stop forcing ~me to be the voice of reason here!

but yeah i ~do think cillian has probs kept mum on the princes at malconaire thing! and has probs persuaded saoirse and anyone else who sees ronan and might know to do the same tbqh! or at least he's ~tried to, who knows how successful he's been lajksdfkljsdf but i do think he'll figure it out asp and that'll be baddd esp if he learns they're cozying up to his ladies!!!! and his precious aoife??!!?! what is that depraved varmont planning for his sweet lil sister??? that's a HELL NO from ronan!!!! cue the quote at the top hahaha also ronan like 'no wonder poor eithne chose to wed cassimir! it was the only way to keep that varmont blackguard away from her! what dark times are these!' and also edmund sniffing around rosie when ronan's sure she's only ten years old????? wtffffff is wrong w these dudes?????

cillian: dude. i hate the varmonts too and they deserve every bad thing they get, but you might have some of your facts confused here...

but yeah!! honestly i would say that ronan probs hates the varmonts even more than brigit does! certainly, more than cilian does! ronan literally has them on a kill list he personally dreams of fulfilling and truly believes the world will be a better place when they're no longer in it lkajsdfkljsdf ngl he's def meant to be a foil to godfrey and uhhh yeah alskjdfjksdft lotsa murder scheming in both cases unfortunately lkajaklsjfksljf

OOC | Ronan & Aoife

so i kinda hc that aoife is/was ronan's fav malconaire back in the day? [ ronan's actual dialogue when he first met baby!aoife (aoife is arlo) ] he was nine when she was born, and so i hc that she was the first of the malconaire kids that, like, he was really trusted to carry as an infant and take care of responsibly, when it was needed, and she was the same age as his own infant sister, and i think he was like THIS IS AN ACTUAL ANGEL PUT ON EARTH AND WE ARE NONE OF US WORTHY OF HER, and she can basically do no wrong in his eyes!! and don't get me wrong, he loves v, v much the others, too, but more as equals w the older ones, and he still thinks rosie is maybe 10, but i think aoife just has him wrapped around her lil finger!!!!

he hasn't really seen her in yearssss tho, and honestly i think he hates what he's become since then, and doesn't want to expose her innocence to his trauma, so i honestly think he'd avoid her even if he wasn't a wanted man etc, but he's still out there wanting only good things for her <3333

[forgottenronan]

OOC | Ronan & Cassimir

so these two are the same age!!! but have totally different trajectories, despite growing up (at least for awhile) in the same place! obv one's a servant and one's *valentina voice* 'of the blood royal' but even their choices are v different! ronan ran away to be a soldier in the fight to save astaira from roderick and cassimir literally refused to fight when the war came to his own backdoor and i honestly think that's smth for which ronan can never forgive him!!! rationally, idk if cassimir and the vasilieva retainers couldve turned the tide of the battle, but ronan's pet theory is that they could have!!! and they refused!!!! and bc of it lord m and ronan's bestie died and astaira was lost and literally every bad thing that has ever happened in his life happened!!!!!!!!!

i don't think ronan was ever cassimir's ~biggest fan (lol lbr that's def valentina) but i do think ronan wanted to give him a fighting chance and thought that if lord m trusted him, well, that was all ronan needed to know!! being the same age, he was more able to see cassimir as just a kid in a weird af situation and give him the benefit of the doubt and i think he was just like 'this all sucks man' but i think he saw an improvement in him and was like 'wow he's really trying!' and was impressed!!! but then yeah obv everything took a turn (thanks, valentina!) and ronan now hates him and hates that he himself ever gave cassimir a chance tbqh and basically views him as the worst kind of sniveling coward snake traitor kasjdfkljsdjf me: 'calm down ronan' ronan: 'NEVER!'

so yeah!! fun times w farmhands ig!! lskdjafkljsdf i do think that a big part of this is like...its easier to blame someone close at hand and fixate anger on them bc like...cassimir is someone he could conceivably get ahold of and realistically punish today if he really wanted to: he knows everyone cassimir knows, his own brother has access to his bedroom etc etc etc, but he's gonna have to try a lotttttt harder w the varmonts bc they're so powerful etc, and this is a way of sort of telling himself 'its my choice to hold off' not just 'i cant do anything im powerless' so yeah lajksdfkljdf thanks for being that for him, buddy! </3

so ronan loves brigit, like all the malconaires, like a little sister!!!! i do think he knew/suspected that cillian had feels for brigit, and i def think he thought that was a pipe dream, so even if he does know she broke his heart, he's not surprised or anything by that at all he thinks its just natural. but honestly idk if cillian told anyone abt that rejection and, if he did tell someone, it was more likely to be saoirse, his emotional support lil sister hahaha than ronan, but lbr saoirse def might've told ronan alkjsdfkjdsf

ANYWAY!!! regardless of all that, ronan appreciates that brigit wants to fight and he def thinks she should be given that opportunity i think! her dad died! she deserves revenge! but he's not gonna try to force it esp bc he knows cillian would NOT be cool w her getting an invitation hahaha and he, himself, is already pressed enough about saoirse being part of all this so he's not gonna put his brother through that again hahaha

so ronan def views eithne as a sister/cousin sort and wants to look out for her no matter what!! like his siblings, ronan grew up around malconaire, but when he heard of the war, he left to go fight as a soldier, not staying put to defend specifically malconaire, like cillian did, so he saw all sorts of fighting all over the place, and i think may even have been a soldier before war came ~to astaira so, one way or another, he's been fighting for astaira against roderick for years and years, and this defeat was literally his worst nightmare

knowing that the malconaires have suffered particularly cruelly since the war is a knife in his heart, and he's esp horrified at the recent development of cassimir -- since im surE cillian has told him abt that lakjsdfkjdjsf but yeah i doubt he's seen her since he attacked some varmonts and became a wanted man, but he might sneak over to be like DONT DO IT EITHNE DONT DO IT he does NOT have a high opinion of the vasilievas, esp since cassimir refused to fight w lord m!!!

edit: im also realizing...i think ronan had a bit of a thing for eithne, back in the days just before the war smh i doubt he ever said/did anything abt it but lsdkajfjkdsf here we are hahaha

OOC | Ronan & Marian

hi, sooooo gotta apologize in advance for him bc ronan wants all of marian's kids dead bc he believes that as long as any of roderick's progeny survive, so does his evil empire so yeahhh! i think he does view roderick's wives as roderick's victims, but i think he worries they might have to die, too, bc sometone might someday try to raise the varmont flag again in their names, but i do think he's v on the fence abt this. w marian's kids, he does feel that evil flows in their veins, courtesy roderick, so that he can justify to himself a lil more easily, but i think he does struggle w the idea of killing ronan's wives. he sees them as helpless victims who've been de facto kidnapped and forced into all this by the power imbalance that roderick has over them and he finds that absolutely horrifying and believes they deserve freedom and an opportunity to heal etc etc but yeah if killing them is what he decides it takes to stop the varmont empire from ever rising again, he'd do that, too, but he'd def try to make it as quick and painless as possible.

fortunately, roderick is paranoid af and also v used to assassination attempts so he's got all sorts of security set up, but yeahhh here we are and im really sorry about ronan honestly -- and, in this case, so is ronan, frankly </3

OOC | Ronan & Cassandra

fun fact! ur not!bf's big brother wants to kill you </3 #datingproblems

lkasdjfkldjsf hi, so, cassandra has never hurt a fly but ronan is convinced she is evil and needs to go! i do think he's a touch less vitriolic abt the varmont women (including the queens even tho amira might literally be the worst of alllll the varmonts slfkjaksldjfkjsf but here we are) bc i think he is aware that women in the varmont empire have less agency so he doesn't blame them for anything, and he frankly feels terrible for them and believes they're just pawns, but he does believe that no matter what they have to die bc as long as roderick's kids survive, so does a vestige of his evil empire and that must be smashed no matter what so yeahhhh

i do think he'd try to make her death as quick and painless as possible, but he does def want her dead sooooo that's fun lkajsdfkjdsf

OOC | Ronan & Sebastian

ok so copy & paste [ what i said to edmund ] except minus the battle of m stuff -- sebastian literally did NOTHING to ronan, but ronan wants him dead anyway. he says this is for logic reasons (the civil war etc etc etc) and it is, but also he doesn't think he'll ever be able to trust that anyone he loves is safe as long as a varmont is alive bc he literally thinks they're all evil -- ciara has shifted some of his opinions on this, but roderick's spawn have got to go, and ronan frankly looks forward to killing them so!! that is definitely fun times and i apologize in advance lkajsdffdslkafj

#sebastian varmont #ooc #ronan: of course i still have things i enjoy! like plotting the demise of random young ppl ive never met who've done nothing to me!

OOC | Ronan & Edmund

hi! ronan hates edmund! and wants him dead! is there anything he can do? no! he hates him! me: *sob*

honestly he'd say its not personal, but it isssss he frankly wants all the roderick!varmonts to suffer horribly and dieeee bc he thinks that'd be justice for all the suffering astaira has gone through when, in fact...it'd just be more suffering...but ronan isn't in his most rational place, as we all know and he wants revenge and he'll wreak it on anyone he can in an effort to assuage his own pain so -- that's fun!!!!!! edmund is really just having hit after hit w the frost boys huh lkajsdflkjsdjf

im thinking that ronan maybe ~does know that its the raven banner that was at the battle of m, but he does noT talk abt that!!!!!! it was baDDDDD AND im thinking he probs doesn't know edmund ~is the raven prince or anything but if cillian comes in and is like HEY WHICH BANNERS ronan could tell him and then ~he could identify him as edmund

honestly, cillian's instinct won't be to go to ronan bc he knows how messed up ronan is and he doesn't wanna trigger him frankly but yeah! in that cillian, himself, is being triggered, he's def not feeling esp rational and it might come to that who knows!! anyway, if/when everyone eventually unveils edmund as the architect of the battle of m, ronan will hate him even ~more than he currently does and will probs be like TIME TO OBSESSIVELY PLAN AN ASSASSINATION!!!!! im realizing so...yikeS

fortunately for edmund, roderick is v used to these things and has all sorts of precautions but still its fun </3
