#while aro is chronologically the youngest

[generalgingerbeer]

On today's episode of "writers can't do math" combined with "why is this a question I'm even asking in the year of our Lord 2019", but is there any definitive, non contradictory source on when the three Volturi leaders were born?

The wiki seems to have them down as Marcus being born in 1350bc, Aro in 1340bc, and Caius in 1300bc, which so far so good, but then it also says that Caius was born a century before Aro, which would put him at like, 1440bc...

Also turning times are some bullshit because like, Aro is supposed to be mid 20s in the books, but then it says he was turned around 1300bc - which makes sense for the films where he's Michael Sheen who turned 40 the year Twilight came out but not for the book version...

And all the cast ages are all over the place, because Marcus is meant to be physically the youngest, but his actor is the oldest, and the opposite is true of Caius, and yes Aro's meant to be in the middle but he's still meant to be physically a lot younger...

Information all seems to be kind of sparse enough that you could really kind of fudge everyone's ages to suit your purposes, but damn it I hate a messy time line...

#why do i care about this #beyond the fact that between the sheen factor #and them being properly ancient and weird and murderous #and therefore the most properly vampiric vampires in the series #the volturi are my favourite thing in this stupid 'saga' #i haven't read the books #so i'm using the film ages for my personal headcanons #which is fun because marcus being physically the oldest #lets me take that gap between aro being turned and him turning didyme #and make them twins rather than him being her much older brother #which has all sorts of fun symbolic implications #and adds a layer to aro's fondness for jane and Alec #also i kind of enjoy the idea of caius being chronologically the oldest #while aro is chronologically the youngest

Why hello there

This is going to be a side blog for a fic project I'm working on :) 

It's going to be a little different than my usual things. This fic will be updated in the form of chapters, tekst messages and later on social media updates for our bois. I'll make a masterlist with all posts in chronological order to make it a little easier to follow. 

But what's the story? Well, I would love to tell you all about that

The story here follows, of course, the Sanders Sides living in a dystopian America. There will be a bit of a prologue of them as kids, how they meet. We will be following them as they start a band, The Brotherhood, forming their own protest against the state. 

More will follow under the cut

The characters are:

Patton Velvet. He's one of the oldest members of the group. He's a sweet guy who would die for his friends. He is very very pan, and grew up with only his mother, as his father left when he was only two years old. His mother was very close with Virgil's mother, which is how they met. He has been taking drumming lessons since he was seven years old. He either dresses like a soft boi (with lost of pastel and dresses) or as a punk boi. There's no inbetween. 

Virgil Calder. He's the youngest. Very gay, but also very ace. He's pretty anxious, but his stage persona is a straight up badass, and he prefers his stage persona over his regular self. He grew up with two dads and a mum. And Patton. Patton's mother is like a second mother to him. He dresses pretty punk, with lots of black clothes, make up and nail polish. Has a nose piercing. He also loves conspiracy theories a lot. 

Roman Gaenor. The second youngest. Also mega gay. Grew up with a mom and dad. He's a caring dude, but sometimes he can take things too far, and he tends to forget to think about others if he gets wrapped up in something. He met Virgil in primary school, and while they didn't get along well at first, Roman redeemed himself a bit when he saved Virgil from a few bullies. He met Patton through Virgil. Very much into singing and acting. He dresses like his personality. Flamboyant and gay. Lots of dresses and colours. Though he also loves to wear a leather jacket and skinny jeans (it's because it makes him look drop dead gorgeous and he knows it). He also had long hair, because that's just a Look TM

Logan Fateen. The oldest of the group, also the last to join them. He meets Patton in middle school, and the other two through Patton. He has to get used to Patton's nature, which is very different from his calm and collected self, but when he does, they are the best of friends. Roman and him don't get along well at first, but they warm up to each other. He's played the guitar since he was eight years old. Grew up with divorced parents. He's also super aro ace. He usually dresses pretty casually, though he loves formal wear too because it makes him feel confident (and he looks stunning in it). But that's not usually the stuff people wear when performing.
