would it even be me if I wasn't very late to the party
when did you join ? what made you join ? what do you remember from the plotlines that were current at the time ? where were you in life when you joined and where are you now ?
I believe it was the end of 2016, but I havent been able to find Lis original blog in a bit to double check. At the time I joined I hadn't roleplayed in forever, and was just getting over my first break up and needed a distraction. I had found chambord around before but never joined it. I believe I first saw chambord when I went back to an old rp blog and someone from that group had been using their blog for chambord. Even in Hshq i was not known for my consistency in activity but honestly this rp was the longest period I ever wrote anything. From highschool through university to now being almost done with my masters in a whole fucking continent is trully insane. This rp saw me through most of my 20's and the last of my teens. That's crazy.
which characters have you written over the years ?
Oh god, so fucking many. I know I will forget some. Lis will forever have a specially place in my heart. She went through so many changes but she was always a fucking mess and I love her for it. I'm not sure how long it would have taken all 3 of her iterations to be happy but she would be fighting tooth and nail the whole time against it I'm sure. You can not say she was not determined (to be fucking miserable).
I loved all of Lis's versions, and I tried to keep her core the same but I'm not sure if that sucessed. She came from very different backgrounds and was in so many different situations. I will never forget that original Arnauld murdered their parents in cold blood just for that crown.
Lisvent was so so fun and I was so happy when Hailee came up with him. As many have said in the past my like for Levente showed up to much in Lis by the end. I don't know if they would have found civility at any point, but maybe Lis would have grown cold and mean and meet him halfway. This Lis was much harder to write as sad and misserable because the spanish were such a - not functional maybe but loving family. It's hard to be the saddest gay when your sister loves you i guess?
The last Lis was probably the most deranged. I do not regret her though, but I think she had straid to much away from what Lis was at her core. She was older, and much more manipulative and I think i never quite got her right. but her and Stela were very fun while they lasted <3
Miray <3 my sweet. I do regreat I never finished her bad bitch transformation. But at least her and Hafiz made up and were happy by the end of their days together. Who would have through. I like to believe by now her and Layla would have made up too because anything else would be to painful. Daisuke is still on thin ice however. She will forever be Aslan's first born, and I think this fight at the end just shows that. She was finally rebeling against her real father.
A surprising third on this list perhaphs will be Arthur Sr. I know I never did much with him ( and I loved seeing C's take on him, she brought him to life in a way I never could.) but the english siblings plot, even if it has been over for a while specially for me, was one of my favorite things.
That brings us to Reha, who is 1000% living with Bruce's in his country house, she has sheep and has a long term lumberjane girlfriend. I will not take questions. I don't think she's talked with any of the siblings for a while, but maybe one day she will grow a spine and appolagise for all she did to all of them. Face her errors and all that.
Petro was a wild mess but I enjoyed my time with him. I will never forget the one word to one gif sibbling thread. I've said this in the fam chat already but Petro is a girlfather now, he co-parents with the mother but they're not together. I don't think he will ever grow up enough to be a good husband but I like to think he will be a good father at least. He may still be after claude or whatever name Inna has for him this week.
I would also like to talk about nic tho i don't know if anyone remembers him. He was very fun to play and I'm sad I never did more with him. The protest t-shirts are a fun memory.
There are a few others I never had much time to do much with, valentina, seonhye, Genoa, Ariel, a bodyguard from galicia, Rhea sister of Gaia not to be confused with Reha, probably more
I can't forget andrés in all this mess. Him and Lis are probably my most recognizable characters of hshq, Bandrés was so fun and I can't believe we started this with Dani being 5 years old and he's almost a teenager now. That's insane. There are a lot of inside jokes coming from Bandrés and ASS and I don't think I'll ever forget this ragtag team of MeanGirls wannabees (MeanCatalans). Thanks Evy for making Andrés so fun to play with both Barbie and Sergi, and thanks Dee for entertaining our crazy with Simó after so long of these two being unsupervised <3.
what is your favourite plotline that you've been part of ?
Probably Catalonia. It became such a big part of hshq and I enjoyed it very much. But I'll be honest - I was always a fan of making up the wildest craziest shit up possible but I rarely could make it to the end. So Catalonia was only my favorite cause Evy took it on and made something real of it. I was a very bad political player.
I really enjoyed the "Everyone hates Andrés" gag too. This man has had 2 friends his whole life and no one else can stand him.
All of the other plots mentioned above were so fun too however. I'm truly so grateful to everyone on this rp for putting up with my bullshit.
what about other people's plotlines ?
I loved all of Arnauld's shit tremendolessly and I'm forever in awe of Martha and her caraterization of him.
who is your favourite character from the ones you've played ? why ? what made you love them ? what made them so fun to write ?
I love all of them very differently. I think it would likely be a tie between Lis, Miray and Andrés. This will likely not surprise anyone as they are the i've played the longest. They were very fun to write because I could dip my foot in politics without having to be too involved. I think that was always my downfall in this rp - I was not good at the political plays.
if you could relive a plotline, which would it be ?
Early Bandrés fighting was so fun to write. They became so very friendly by the end (good for them of course but still). We tried to shake them up a little but never will quite be like those early Bandrés threads where they couldn't keep their hands off eachother, nor stop arguing.
is there a plotline that you'd edit now if you could ?
I don't think so. I would like to finish some things I never did but fully change something? I would have maybe made Lis 3.0 her own character so I could have explored her more mean spirited, manipulative vibes more.
what's a plotline you wish you would have been able to finish before closing or just write more of ?
I would have loved to give Miray a more finished storyline. Have her figure out her place in the family and the world in general. She was to immature by the end and too lost, I wish some of that had been fixed before I lost all my time with my masters.
what is your favourite ooc memory ?
I have so many. I enjoyed the group discord very much over the years. I also love the verb naomi'ed until the end of my days.
My favorite might be the day everyone posted voice posts of the characters names in the correct language- it was so fun to hear these characters names correctly!
There is so much of my growing up that is tied to this group. My mom knows about some of you guys. "I'm talking to my brasilian friend" "Oh I know someone who lives in Northern Europe"
where can others find you if they want to get in touch ?
Discord is probably the easiest. I have a tumblr I use for little but if you'd like it @glitradora and if anyone would like it please feel free to ask for my whatsapp number either here by message or on discord <3
what else would you like to say ?
I will miss this rp so much - and surely I will lose track of some of you guys because of it closing. If so I hope to find you at some point in the future. I've know some of you for 8 years - that's longer than some of my irl friends. It's going to be wild to not have an hshq to come back too. but I will be bothering you all in the discord as long as it stays open. <3
she was about to make a comment about george until she remembered miray’s unusual level of high sensitivity. why is this girl always around random white boys? she’s about to make another comment, asking if he’s her new fiance — it’s so hard censoring herself! “ if you like play fighting you should find a dog or something. mimi has like ten of those little demon looking things. ” ( @niklausses )
“Oh no, you don’t need to worry about it, I’m not blond. And my brothers would think you’re a hero, not a monster.” Klaus reassured, offering one last time. He was surprised he was receiving such push back. How could it be this hard to get slapped in the face? “Oh you mean like Chinchy? But he’s so sweet, he would never.” @cmiray
She tried to ignore him as she judged her pictures. If he wanted to hurt himself so bad he could knock his head against the walls. But the noise of a third person makes her look up. She purses her lips as she lines her phone again for another shot. “May Allah rest your soul. It will be the only thing you have left if you touch one of Mimi’s dogs.” @arayamahidol
“oh no,” he claims calmly, peeing down closely at the brochure in her hands. “we can waste two weeks on,” gabriel waves a hand in to air to make his point, letting the word fade in the air. “ilija is trowing a boat party, you want in?”
“not now” she laughs “I like Croatia, it’s a pity we’re only here for the weekend.” She looked back at him at his question. “oh yeah, that sounds fun.” was Gabriel de Bragança actually inviting her or was he simply making conversation with Hafiz little sister... she turned back to her brochure before his proximity made her blush even more. “Right. That was the last church. Mosque next?”
“Not even a little slap? I’ll do the play fighting thing where I act like it really really hurt,” Klaus goaded as he hobbled out of frame of her picture
“The last time one of us fought an idiotic white boy - actually no. Aslan still is the monster for the rest of the blonde european secret cult.” she said taking her picture and taking a second to check her phone “So no. Thanks.”
the shiver runs through her again as the wind catches on her jacket. She packed to lightly. “Oh thank you, but I always have a scarf on me.” she comments “I like visiting the local mosques. ... your majesty.” that was to close a call for comfort and before she realises she had taken one step back from the man. She’ll never stop being surprised by world leaders.
“i’m sure they make a pretty good pita at the very least.”
“I think I saw some type of flat bread with Köfte back there. This is great. The Balkans are great.” she said high in spirits before turning back as her smile falls “It’s almost like we have a rich and interconnected history - siblings if you will - that we’re ruining by fighting them. Oh Baklava” her smile is back as she approaches the stall and buy 3 pieces with a smile on her face again. @oh-hxfiz
“I’m not sure if it is the references to the Roman Empire or Game of Thrones, but I wouldn’t mind staying here for a bit longer ––– Diocletian Palace? Well, earned visit” @hshqstarters
“We set up a tour of the game of thrones filming locations.” she mumbles as she scans the brochure. “turkish airlines.” she explains. “can do it all in like 2 weeks.2
- ‘ I HAVE a boat and we’re throwing a party, you in or out ? ’
“I don’t think everyone has ever explained to me the appeal of a boat party. It just sounds inconvenient.” she starts “drunk people are already more prone to throwing up than normal. why would you add disorienting movement to that?”
“ what? ” he snaps with incredulity. why would he ever care about aslan? “ no well wishes from me, thanks. don’t go spreading lies. ”
wishing bad on others went against everything she believed in, everything she built her whole life around. And yet she found herself turning on the spot to glare at George raw rage in the way she spit out the words “Why don’t you just make everyone a favour a disappear?”
his hands remain in the pockets of his joggers, eyes narrowing into a squint as he looks at the baklava sceptically. “ you came all the way here to tell me to give something to my sisters? ” he scoffs and cocks his head to the side, wondering if she can hear how stupid that sounds. “ you can give it to them. i’m busy. ” he begins to walk past her but stops himself mid-step. “ oh, and i’m good, by the way, thanks for asking. ”
She had come her to guilt Lola into taking it. Or giving it away herself to her much brother family and friends groups. But George’s tone annoyed her. Picked at whatever part of her was still healing over the distance Layla had put on her. Creeped between the patchwork of worry and other more nice emotions she had crafted to cover the primordial anger she had been hiding since that night in the hospital. A calmer Miray might have argued semantics, a braver one might have screamed. She let him walk past her without a second look. “So is my brother. He will appreciate the well wishes.”
“ OF COURSE. thanks for inviting me. ” he’s already put together furniture for one osmanoğlu ; sten’s just happy to be able to be there for her in any way he can. besides, he’ll never say no to getting out of the neighborhood. sten catches a peek at her phone from the corner of his eye. there’s nothing against ferrets, but baby ones… well, they look like little rats. how she can name anything that looks like that right now is beyond him. “ is it a boy or girl ? ”
“well- i mostly invited your car and valid drivers licence.” she joked, a small smirk on her lips as she leaned her cheek on the head rest to look at him. If she stopped thinking of the world outside this car for a second, it almost felt private. Just the two of them. She turns back to the window before she gets any ideas. “It’s a boy. I’m sure I’ll meet him and just.. know. Like with Aisha.” she shrugs. “How’s Samson adapting to canada?”
She’s about to turn into the path to Lola’s house when she sees him. She had almost forgotten he lived here. “Oh - you’re back.” The baked goods where going to be for Lola and Sten. But she will be back at it this afternoon at the latest... George is as good of a new victim to her excessive backing as anyone else. “Here. I made some Baklava. Share with your sisters.” there were only so many ways she could drop off desserts for Effie when she was always so busy. @georgetstuart
choose anyone else to marry instead of george and justify
“I mean - there’s no one else. There are pleanty of people who are attractive and kind, funny and whom i get along with and may even.. like. But I would only chose someone to marry who loved me back. There is no one.”
