#bitingdownbehindthebio: Who has she tried to matchmake? (Obviously not Lucy haha) If she’s tried, has she been successful? Is there anyone she tries to ship?

So when I wrote Dom’s bio I had this idea of her matchmaking and thought it’d be really fun to do but so far I’ve failed in my mission to get her to set anyone up - I keep getting distracted with her drama (especially since the stabbing by Marius as this was a huge thing for her) and forget to make her interfere in other people’s love lives. SO IF YOU WANT DOM TO TRY AND SET YOUR CHARACTER UP WITH ANOTHER LIKE THIS (or message me) AND I’LL MESSAGE YOUTO TRY AND WORK SOMETHING OUT. (not sure when but maybe it’ll have to wait until after friday when I have this exam) 

I think she probably set some friends up at school and it never really worked because y’know, teenage relationships are rocky at the best of times. 

I think she probably hardcore ships people very easily but like her own life falls in and out of love with ships very quickly and one week will think that two people are meant for each other and the next she’ll think that one of those people is meant for someone else. I can see her sometimes shipping Scorose and sometimes thinking they’re just friends.

#bitingdownbehindthebio: How does Ethan feel about Flintwood?

Ethan honestly feels very betrayed and hurt by Flintwood and more importantly Oliver, the man he always worshipped as practically a Quidditch god. It’s not because his father is with a man. Ethan is very accepting of sexual preferences and he’s very much you like who you like and it doesn’t matter who you are getting it from as long as your getting some. Its the cheating that he can’t stand.

Sure, he sleeps around and can be a little shit, but he’s not a cheater (on the pitch and off). He believes that if you’re with someone, you’re with them for the long haul which is why it is so difficult for him to commit to just one person. Anyways...so to see his father go against a belief he holds in such high regard, one I like to imagine is product of his sport and the discipline and hard work that goes with it, is extremely eye opening to him. It brings reality to the fact that Oliver may not have been the man Ethan always thought he was and it questions his own beliefs on relationships and being a man since so many of thmn were instilled by his father. 

Additionally and as with many of the difficult realities Ethan is forced to face, he unable to process these feelings in a healthy manner. I imagine there will be a tipping point for him and he’ll lash out, probably physically. Ngl, I would love to see him flip out on Ollie.

#bitingdownbehindthebio: What's the biggest difference between Phoebe and Alfie and what makes them so similar?

Okay, this may sound silly, but when I compare Alfie and Phoebe I tend to think of them like the formation of gemstones so bare with me. Their main similarities and differences stem from their father’s abandonment. They were both pressurized by his absence, but were effected very differently by it. While Alfie stepped up to help out his family, Phoebe harbored much anger and resentment that hardened her much more than it did her brother, turning Alfie into more of a precious gemstone and Phoebe into more of a diamond in the rough when the process was complete. Anyway, rambles aside, their biggest difference is that Alfie emerged a selfless little gem who puts everyone, especially his family, before him while Phoebe is way more selfish and sharp around the edges, though for the select few she cares about she manages to pull through.

That said, they are both incredibly calculated and reserved which is a similarity I believe also stems from the trust issues they developed from their broken family. Both siblings don’t go into anything recklessly and always have a plan of attack even in their vastly different environments. Being captain of the Magpies, Alfie of course did this through his work on pitch while Phoebe in the magical substance trade. Whether it be a trick play or a plan to make a sale, their plans  are deliberate and intricate complete with backup plans and clever maneuvers. I like to think that’s how Alfie always knew that Phoebe was okay even when she disappeared for long stretches of time. He knew she always had something up her sleeve.

What is your most treasured possession?

His wand? I mean after you’ve lost something that important,you definitely value it much more. Ithink wands are the wizarding equivalent of a smartphone: it’s not impossible to live without one, but it’spretty difficult to do so. I imagine it’s pretty doable if you’re committed andyou’ve been working on wandlessmagic, but that’s pretty rare and that’s not something I think he’d be willingto explore. Rather, I think he’s starting to become more attuned to his Veelaside – the side that can charm unsuspecting people with a modicum of control isalso the side that throws fireballswhen they’re angry. He’s not gonna turn into full Azula, but he’s definitely beginningto realize that it’s something at his disposal, especially since everyonekeeps pissing off.

If I had to choose a non-wand item though, it’d probably bethis charm bracelet that he got Beatrice – one of his first gifts to her, obviouslyto remember her very fondly by. And now everyone will get a lecture on why Marius is ProblematicTM: just because he was betrothed to amuggleborn, just because he was friends with muggleborns, just because heworked for the Muggle Relations Office, doesn’t mean he’s actually woke to the issues surroundingmuggleborns.

Obviously, he was raised to think he was superior to muggleborns. (Hell, he thinks he’ssuperior to Avery.) He can go toschool and make friends with as many people as he could, since that was thewhole reason he went to Beauxbatonsand became a major priority to theFrench Lestranges. But that doesn’t mean he unlearnedany of his pureblood crap and he doesn’t actually know to check his privilege.

Even then, he’s not actually a true pureblood because of his part-veela background but since that makes him much moreattractive, I imagine that he doesn’t get as much flack for being a half-breedthan say, a half-giant would? And in a way he thinks that makes him less privileged than your normal pureblood,especially if the situation is in his favor to make people feel sorry for him,but Gabrielle made sure to make Marius feel specialabout his lineage.

So eventually he meets Beatrice, and she’s a really good listener, because Marius wasjust sort of used to sitting on the sidelines and letting everyone else stealthe show – especially since the family’s expectations of him were low to beginwith. Avery has the Allomancy to deal with and Vivienne had to marry – there wasn’treally much for Marius to do asidefrom just… try to make the Lestranges look good. And the way he did that was tomake good with muggleborns. He was probably more obsessed with improving thefamily name than he was with helping muggleborns. His mother didn’t agree with the way he went about getting shit done, but that was discussed on another question that someone else asked so I won’t answer that here. Deep down he does still think they’re clueless,though not for any fault aside from being bornto muggles.

Once they start dating he showers her with gifts – gifts that no one from a pureblood familycould actually afford – and he thinks they’re perfect for each other, but really he only thinks this because he’ssort of living a fairy tale as that dashing prince saving the pauper andraising Beatrice’s station because she sure as hell wasn’t living the lifewithout him. He thinks that she needshim, and he was very much prepared to wait on her hand and foot for no otherreason other than to say that yes he’ssuch a good person because he lovedsomeone so much despite all of the trouble his marriage would have causedand all of the awful things everyone’ssaid about the Lestranges. 

Of course he caredabout Beatrice. There are just some aspects of the relationship that he cared more about than Beatrice that even he isn’t aware of, and no one was reallyaround to call him on his bullshit. The charm bracelet was that first marker oftheir relationship – that first sign that Marius was really saving this girlfrom poverty or whatever – especially since it was one of the few nice thingsshe actually owned. So Marius’s most treasuredpossession isn’t about Beatrice at all; it’s really more about himself and how he was prepared to supposedly sacrifice everything to be with thisgirl without ever really understanding what struggles she goes through and howto actually fix them.

Who are your characters friends and family? Who do they surround themselves with? Who are the people your character is closest to? Who do they wish they were closer to?

LOL so many questions in one ask so everyone has to suffer through1500 words about Julian’s personal life

I’m surprised that there isa question about Julian’s family, especially since between me, Ally, and Kyle,we kind of beat Oliver and Heidi to death already, though I suppose those discussionshaven’t been on the dash. Oliver is still Quidditch obsessed as we’ve seen himin the books, though our interpretation of Oliver is a little darker than whatJKR wrote. It’s fine that he’s demanding early morning practices from hisfriends, but his kids were younger thanten and he’s already building them up to have these really successfulcareers. Oliver is so focused on the game that whatever other needs his kidsmay have needed were never really addressed – that’s always sort of been Heidi’shalf of the parenting.

In contrast, Heidi was more logical of the pair; she’susually described as quicker and cleverer than Oliver (at one point I think I’vewritten that Heidi was the only one who could out-score Oliver). So despite thebad press and the rocky divorce, she’s going to recover quickly – especially becauseshe had been working on her passion projects for a while already, which is fashiondesign. Even though Julian dresses like he hasn’t had a wardrobe update in adecade because his self-sufficiency is more important to him than dressingproperly for a good first impression.

Speaking of the divorce though, I don’t think Oliver andHeidi had a relationship like Marcus and AnaJoy, where they only marriedbecause they ran out of luck. Oliver was damn impressed with her, but Ienvision the two to have rushed into their marriage. I think Heidi might havefigured out that Oliver was in the closet for a while so I doubt that she wouldhave been surprised at the fact thathe was gay. No, I think what caught her off guard was the fact that MarcusFlint basically gave Rita Skeeter an exclusive.

Then you have Ethan. As the second child, he’s probablyJulian’s favorite brother. My absolute favorite headcanon was that Ethanlearned to fly before he learned to walk. Julian was learning how to flyhimself for the first time but baby E just wouldn’t have it and would cry everytime Julie flew too high, so Julian pulled his brother onto the broomstick withhim and let him hover. There’s another one that you can read on Julian’s andEthan’s bio where Ethan broke his leg and Oliver told him to walk it off – and that’swhen Julian begins to question that Oliver’s making decisions that are actuallyfor the best.

Aidan never got to play Quidditch with Julian at school, sinceJulian had quit the team to become Gryffindor Prefect in his fifth year whenAidan tried out for the team during his second. The two aren’t as close, especially since Julian hadthree years at school before Aidan had come, and Aidan was making friends backhome while his brothers are gone (and btw for anyone reading this, Aidan’s beenpractically begging for someone tofill his best friend connection). Plus by the time Aidan had come to school,Julian was already in silent treatment mode as since that was the year he quitQuidditch.

The issue with the Woods is that no one knows how to talk to anyone because Oliver just made everyonedeal with their shit in silence. A lot of the problems Julian had, he broughtupon himself because he didn’t know howto solve them, because he never learned that talking about his feelings isn’t a bad thing? Literally, here’s howit would go, if Julian had just talked to Ethan and Aidan in his fourth year:

Julian is feeling stressed about the attention he’s gettingfrom Gryffindor House during Quidditch matches. He expresses this anxiety tohis younger brothers, and while Ethan wouldn’t totally empathize, he cares about Julian enough to try to find asolution. That solution would probably involve yelling at people to leave himalone, or at the very least, attracting more attention in the common room andin the pitch so that Julian can keep his mind on the game. Aidan would insiston practicing with just the three of them even though he wasn’t allowed to havea broom yet because fuck the rules and we all know that they’d probably use the‘oh you let Harry Potter have a broom in his first year’ excuse because Oliverwould use that excuse to make his kids tryout for Quidditch in the first year. 

Julian wouldn’t have felt the need to quit Quidditch especially since hisbrothers are his hype men and would eventually become Quidditch Captain insteadof Head Boy since he’s pretty good at making strategies and leadership suitshim when he’s doing something he’s actually passionate about. And he probablywould have ended up on Puddlemere, which obviously gets Ethan and Aidan intoPuddlemere, and you now have the Unstoppable Chaser Team™ that Oliver alwayswanted. They would literally be the Quidditch version of the Jonas Brothers andhave a really strong fan following but Julian is Kevin and retires intoobscurity as a strategist for Puddlemere while his brothers pursue much moreoutrageous careers.

Julian surrounds himself with academics because his currentoccupation is basically the one-to-one mapping of a college professor to a Hogwartsteacher. He’s kind of just stuck withthe people he works with, so there’s not really a choice with who he surroundshimself with. I could say that when he first started teaching though, he spenta lot of time with Roxanne because she was also teaching at the time while shetried to figure her shit out too.

Now that we have a lot of the Ministry people at the schoolthough, Julian most often talks to people who are intellectual – after all, a lot of what he wants to do is make learning easier for students (despite the factthat he’s aware that it’s a lot of thankless work that he’ll probably neverquit because no one else would do it right), so it obviously helps if he’strying to learn a lot about how other subjects work, not just his own. Probablythe main reason he eventually got along with Roxanne was because they were bothstarting to become more interested in each other’s subject matter. Finley focuseson charms, but Julian can make suggestions based on what he knows. Julianhelped Talia with her Animagus, even though her primary subject is magicalcreatures.

Unfortunately for Julian though he’s not really close with anyone; he was best friends with Roxannefor a few years after they both finished their formal schooling, but Mr. I Can’t Talk About My Feelings overhere threw a temper tantrum when she decided to leave to pursue her Cursebreakercareer somewhere else. So I think he hasn’t really tried to reach out to anyonein a while, except for Valentina who happened to be around and Pippa who was just as passionate about Potions as he was about Transfiguration, because he doesn’t think he needs anyone and he’s obnoxious arrogant loudmouth bother.  But he does realize that he’s talking too loud, he gets overexcited and shoots off at the mouth, and he’s never had a group of friends before so he’ll promise that he’ll make them proud -- 

He does wish hewere closer to Roxanne though, because they really had a nice friendship goingon and despite all of these awful situations they’re thrown into, theirfriendship is still a salvageable raft in a never-ending storm. Julian thinkshe’s also really getting somewhere with Finley, though he’s fucked that up by totallyembarrassing him in front of Vivienne – but she seems nice, and Finley didn’tseem too incised by Julian’s accusationthat he’s forgetful especially if he offered to have Julian chat with Kingsley.It also helps that Finley is just as eager to keep Julian a friend as well, butJulian’s not aware that they’re on both sides of the same coin. I suppose there’sroom in the future to be close to his brothers again, but none of them are gonnabudge on that silent treatment. Here’s how it would go, if Julian ever gotalong with his brothers again:

Once Julian has a new curriculum in place, Ethan and Aidanwould probably ask him for advice on how to get good press – especially since Julian’s made some front-page news whileshaking Kingsley’s hand. So Julian makes them donate shit tons of galleons tothe school and makes them sit down and watch Gryffindor Quidditch matches. Ritaeats it up, especially when Julian gets his brothers to do some demonstrationsfor the first years. Maybe it wouldhelp them behave knowing that they’ve got eleven year olds looking up to them? Whoknows. 

Julian also gives some tidbits on how to play other teams because Julianreligiously follows the teams to the point where a lot of them are reallypredictable. Eventually Ethan and Aidan become scouts and/or coaches and atthat point I’m sure Julian’s gonna end up being headmaster, so obviously theyget first pick of the lot coming out of Hogwarts every season. Julian nevergets punched in the face ever again and they all live long happy cooperative lives.The end.

that’s it lol thanks for coming to my ted talk

#bitingdownbehindthebio: What is Vivienne’s opinion on blood purity? How much did her parents and her high-society upbringing influence this? Do you think there’s going to be a opportunity for her to openly express these views?

Vivienne was raised to believe in blood purity though her views don’t necessarily reflect her family’s opinions. She is a pretty accepting person though at times can become wrapped up in her own lavish lifestyle and she can project her ostentation behaviors on others. Most times she doesn’t even realize she’s doing it, usually in the form of a seemingly innocent comment. For example, while staying in Hogmeade I could she her making comments about how cute and quaint the town is which can come off as condescending to some people or in the most extreme cases saying something along the lines of “That’s an adorable outfit for a muggleborn!”

My hope for Vivienne is to learn from these instances and eventually be able to openly express her views by using her platform to shed light on these microaggressions.

bitingdownbehindthebio: If the travel ban weren't in place would Danny have left the UK already? How does Danny afford to travel the world without a permanent job?

Yeah, he probably would have left already,but not without seeing the Loch Ness Monster first. I feel like the travel banis the reason why he has these random side quests to begin with – Roxanne tellinghim that he needed to play jacks with the three broomsticks is a result of themurders and needing a place to stay. Alyssa going missing after the World Cupled him to try to find Egil, her winged horse. Now he’s trying to honor Alfiewith Ethan. He probably wouldn’t have stayed with Alisha or Dom either. All ofthat wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for him just being stuck here, andDanny’s pretty self-confident enough on his own to go on travelling evenwithout David and their other friends.

Danny had always been a strong swimmer as a child (probably dueto the fact that he’s a wizard) and for a while he wanted to be a marathonswimmer when he grew up (despite the fact that Michael Phelps is his childhoodhero). So after Ilvermorny, that career never really took off though; Dannydoesn’t exactly have the attention span or work ethic to be a full-time athlete.He also paid a lot of attention in Care of Magical Creatures class (which isthe only class he didn’t just barelypass), but he doesn’t think Magizoology’s actually very practical either.

So, he uses this strong swimmer ability and the magicalcreature expertise to collect plants and animal parts to sell; he makes moneyby being a scavenger. Danny is one of the few idiots willing to risk life andlimb to go into dangerous territory to get what he needs – as well as movewares along. I don’t necessarily think that he’s like Phoebe exactly; he’s more the sourcerather than the dealer, but it doesget him connected with some very scary people/merpeople, especially when itcomes to really rare ingredients.

For the most part though, he sells to apothecaries, which issort of how he got his first job outside of school – but he prefers to have hisown operation since it leaves him free to travel. He’s also scammed a fewpeople (say, by giving fish scales instead of merperson scales), just because heis a lazy ass sometimes and he knowshe can get away with it. But it goes hand in hand with him getting into troublearound certain circles and generally being a nuisance to law enforcement in theUS.

He gets most of his wares from the Pacific along theCalifornia coast, since that’s what he’s most familiar with. Most of his tripstend to be funded by collecting a ton of stuff to bring, and then pawning itoff to different apothecaries. He makes pretty good money this way, especiallyif he brings something from California that’s not indigenous to that area, andit’s how he’s been able to hang out at the Leaky Cauldron for a while.

Unfortunately, he lost pretty much all of his wares afterbeing cornered by Phoebe; I think he’d gotten in trouble with one of Killian’sassociates, so he ended up needing to make up for it by delivering some ingredientsto the UK and meeting Phoebe there. He still owes Phoebe, especially since he’d been staying in the UK for solong that he’s had to sell out way more of his stuff than he expected.

Danny also does street magic for muggles, but very minortricks that look like sleight of hand – not enough to expose the wizardingcommunity obviously. I’m not sure if the US had something like ‘the trace’because if that were the case then the entire plotline with Ezra Miller’scharacter in the Fantastic Beasts moviewouldn’t have happened? That’s sort of what he’s doing now; unlike Mariusthough, who’s relying on the Veela charm to get muggles to pity him, this is moreof a hobby just because the wizarding community’s been depressed as fuck lately.

I imagine now that he goes scavenging for local stuff, butdoesn’t get paid as much as he would before. Tonie and I had something plannedwhere Danny works for George in the shop if Roxanne gets him connections thatway, but that’s still in the works – Danny doesn’t like the word employed just because it’s as if heactually lives here.

Does your character have any hobbies that you want to mention more/ write more about and what are they? #bitingdownbehindthebio

Whatever the equivalent of Netflix is in the wizarding world, probably. So I imagine she reads a lot, especially since she used to draw a lot of fan art when she was younger. Lucy also seems like the kind to have an inspiration board -- like a real life pintrest? I feel like she thinks she’s already pretty productive in her art -- whether it’s Ministry work or on commission or painting to sell -- so most of her non-art time is spent napping or hanging out with Aidan.

I think I’d like to write more about gossip though, because Lucy likes talking shit even though she was taught to be polite. I think she’s at the point where she like... just give no fucks, to be honest. She’s an eavesdropper, for sure -- so does it count as a hobby to try to be at the right place at the right time?

#bitingdownbehindthebio: How does he feel about Flintwood? Has he ever talked to his father about cheating on his wife? Do you think AnaJoy will move to the UK eventually?

Noah actually has put the blame on Oliver Wood rather than his father. He think that Oliver Wood had seduced his father into being gay and now they are having this relationship. He isn’t happy about the relationship, not for the reason that he is homophobic, but because the timing really sucks. 

He currently hates Oliver and is pretty frustrated and angry at his father for having a relationship, a public relationship mind you merely a month or so after his brother/Marcus’ son had died from that disaster. Under different circumstances, like if his brother was still alive, he would probably accept it and tell his father to man up and leave his mother first before pursuing this relationship.

He has not had the chance to confront his father as he avoids his son and is barely home. (Teenager much?)

But on another note, AnaJoy and Marcus are married but they never once lived as if they were married unless they were in public. AnaJoy has known for her whole life that Marcus was gay and only agreed to marry him and be the mother of his kids because she knows how he is, he is a pureblood, and he wasn’t a poor pureblood (though AnaJoy herself has tons of money as well). AnaJoy virtually is a beard to Marcus up until he came out. 

(AnaJoy had multiple bfs while married to Marcus).

OH and i forgot one more question. i don’t think AnaJoy would move to UK unless Marcus insist on having Jacob buried in England. AnaJoy is content with her life in France.

#bitingdownbehindthebio: Do people forget she’s a Weasley? How does she react when they forget (or remember)?

I really think it depends. When people first meet her, hearing her last name it’s pretty obvious who her family are and I imagine that although not everyone will know every member of the Weasleys (they’re such a large family and with the older generation all involved in the order I imagine they blend into one for most people) they will probably know who the Weasleys are as a family and their ‘family identity’. 

That being said, I don’t think when people know her they don’t really remember or care that she’s a Weasley. Being blonde I think people rarely automatically associate her with the notoriously ginger Weasleys, and she goes out of her way to try to distinguish herself - she doesn’t really fall into the Quidditch fanatic, brave dueller Weasley stereotype that many of her family do. I think her Weasley traits are much more subtle.

She’s obsessed with the idea of ‘family’ and is used to having a big one, and basically anyone who is friends with her she will view as family. I think too that despite her self-centredness she can actually be kind and caring and this is something that allows her to excel at her job working at a bar. She’s always friendly and takes a genuine interest in other people. She kind of reminds me of Molly in this way. She’s also brave, although not necessarily in the traditional sense. She frightens easily but continues to face those fears - no matter how silly it may seem to other or how many time she dives head first into a relationship she will do it again and again knowing she might get hurt. Despite how people view her love of divination she always sticks to it, putting aside any fears of failure or being looked down upon because of it. It’s a very different kind of bravery to the sword wielding, fighting type that the Weasleys were known for in the war. 

I think that in general though her subtle Weasley traits aren’t enough to over rule the fact that she generally diverges from their image and so many people don’t really view her as a Weasley. Despite this I think Dominique thinks other people view her as ‘just another Weasley’. It’s not like she’s ashamed of her family and does want people to know about them, because she’s proud, especially of her parents. BUT equally if she felt like someone were just interested in asking questions about her older relatives she’d be very offended.

#bitingdownbehindthebio: (kind of a long one lol) What do you think will happen to Ethan if his Quidditch career doesn’t pick up? Do you think Alfie’s death will stop Ethan from playing Quidditch? If so, what do you think Ethan would do otherwise? If not, how do you think Ethan will try to keep his career going?

Ethan is definitely in a dark place right now, but nothing is going to keep him from getting back on the pitch. If anything, Alfie’s death will motivate him to play harder, faster, stronger. Similar to his reasonings for playing in the World Cup amid all the chaos and warnings against it, he would play in honor of his late friend and all those who were murdered in the attack. What’s holding him back right now is his refusal to come to terms with feelings surrounding Alfie’s death. Once he gets his closure, which I like to think will begin after the Day of the Dead ceremony (Thanks Big D!), Ethan can start to slowly rebuild and get his ass back on his firebolt! 

It’s always fun to think about what Ethan’d be doing if his Quidditch career doesn’t pick up, so I’d say he’d either coach, become a strategist for one of the professional teams or even pursue a career in Astronomy. Since I also think he’d have a hard time with not being in the spotlight anymore, I could also see him trying to find another sport to master. Perhaps even dabbling in some muggle sports.

bitingdownbehindthebio: Do you think that Julian will come out as Demisexual? Is it something that impacts his character and relationships in a significant way?

No, because Julian doesn’t actually know what that is. Like... I know that he’s demisexual, but he doesn’t know he’s demisexual. He just thinks he’s a really picky straight person. 

It doesn’t impact his character much aside from the fact that he’s not going to be hooking up immediately -- but he doesn’t exactly have the time to date. He’s sort of made an exception for Valentina just because he knew her and he thought it was a little unfair to let their relationship fizzle because of long distance. And he knew he liked her a lot at the time.

I think Julian got into some pretty quick-ish relationships and slept around some before his seventh year, just because he was still sort of insecure about where he was at the time -- dropped out of the Quidditch team and hated by most of Gryffindor House, so he interacted/dated/befriended a lot of non-Gryffindors. I imagine he did it just to convince himself that he was fulfilled and happy with where he ended up at the time. Most of these relationships ended up with him being broken up with, just because he’d just end up being distant or busy?

He’s still insecure now, but less about who he is as a person and more about where his career is going. He’s at least comfortable enough now to realize that he doesn’t need a relationship to be satisfied. Thinking about his future relationships though, he’ll probably progress through a relationship much more slowly than he did when he was a teenager -- and he’ll probably have a little more confidence going into a relationship now just because he’s learned over the years to trust that gut feeling. (It probably also helps that a seer told him to go for it?)

What type of discipline was your character subjected to at home? Strict? Lenient?

with his father, he was pretty lenient. as long as he came home and he was there to have dinner with his dad he was good. mind you, it wasn’t traditional dinners, it was normally some sort of gross foods that they’d eat and watch television.
