The prince isnt the love interest here.

Surely enough ni no kuni vibes to make everyone cringe(he/they/hymn)

A friendly intro from prince sterling~ 🕊️

*a soft evening rain falls over the castle hills as prince sterling sleeps at his desk while facing some writers block from his studies, the royal birds sit on his shoulder chewing on strands of hair and overall being mischievous as per usual, theres knocking on the bedroom door as sterling wakes up in a startled but sleepy manner* huh? Oh, i need to put the birds up, i’ll be right there if you can kindly wait a moment!

*about a couple minutes later he opens the door for our reader/you* good evening, sorry for the wait, i must have passed out while trying to write— ??? You want to get to know me a little? Thats a bit unexpected but very kind of you. come on in and i can tell you some of the basics, please stop me if i overshare, ive been told by many that i speak too much, im curious to understand you some too, unfamiliar visitor. i just humbly ask that you dont release my birds, i know theyre adorable but their appearances are deceiving, they bite and laugh at their victims afterward.

My name is sterling, youngest heir of queen *redacted* but you can skip the formalities and just call me by my first name for ease and comfort, i tend to avoid the fancy terms when possible anyway.

i can be a little withdrawn at times and my parents have mostly raised me within the walls so my social skills are a bit lacking but i assure you that if you write a letter(use the ask box) about concerns or even casual questions and updates id be happy to respond in the most timely manner i can, the messenger birds are swift with their deliveries since i pay them with the royal bird treats, my personal feathered friends cannot leave since they unfortunately are not very bright and i worry that they wouldnt be able to escape predators.

People i avoid? Well, people tend to not respect boundaries anyway and i try to be polite when possible but if someone is genuinely cruel to people or animals on purpose or pointlessly parroting bigoted ideals because some faraway orange tyrant likes chasing futile power fantasies then id be struggling to be friendly with them, making those more disadvantaged than you suffer for fun is a quick way to get stabbed.(basically fuck MAGA, radqueers, pedophiles, zoophiles, zionists, and terfs but i wont harass unless absolutely necessary, if you fail the vibe check you get a gentle block)

i was raised as a princess and once upon a time i happily obliged in hopes of pleasing her majesty by following the rules, but as time grew on there was a near insatiable pit in my heart that wouldnt go away until i chopped off my hair, obtained comfortable clothing, chose my name, and hid my chest against my parent’s wishes. Much of the royal court says i was among the fairest in the land before i started transitioning but im much happier now. Wearing giant itchy ballgowns, heels, and past floor length specially straightened hair every day of my life is a nightmare for anyone who prefers fluffy half up hair and baggy poet shirts with pants that actually have pockets for sure.

as for my love-life, i havent tasted “true love” like other royals my age have but the idea of it seems odd, if anything id prefer a best friend but not anyone id kiss or engage in intercourse with. my *ahem* gene donor has done some unspeakable things to me and wishes to keep me unmarried so he has me all to himself, while my mother tried setting me up with her one of her high ranked companions sons and one of our neighbors to be their “wife” simply because she thought we would be cute together, but i think otherwise and will do everything in my power to crash the wedding if possible, in the event where arranged marriage is unavoidable then id wish for someone who sees me as my genuine self.

For hobbies i enjoy fencing, archery, writing, listening to music, napping, spending bird quality time, trying different varieties of coffees on the rare occasion i get to travel somewhere new, playing my lyre for the pigeons and doves, stargazing, and reading the daily paper(scrolling tumblr).

!!! Its late, you should probably go since you likely have better things to do, i hope you rest well and that i get to hear from you sooner or later, i enjoyed the company, goodbye~

*sterling escorts you out of his room politely and after the door shuts he promptly flops onto the bed for some sleep, until he is called to queen *redacted* for something*

🐤 Birds are an indicator species, serving a similar (unfortunate) role to the “Canary in the coal mine.” They signal environmental distress.  Their population health, presence, or decline reflects the overall condition of an ecosystem, revealing issues like pollution, habitat loss, or climate change that might be harder to detect otherwise, just as Canaries warned miners of toxic gases.

If we want clean air, healthy forests, balanced soils, and thriving wildlife, we must protect bird diversity and the habitats they depend on.

why is there a weird talking mouse with gloves and red shorts trying to recruit me into what seems like a club for people who burst into song every 5 seconds? Apparently its because he hasnt recruited any queer princes yet but id be bad representation!

i cant sing, i have no love interest(who needs one anyway?), and i dont have a compelling story that will enchant “mickey”s viewers! I get its easy to track me down when i dont go on magical adventures in the land of whimsy or whatever but are you kidding me?

[princely-dove]

what is a “goblet” exactly? yeah theyre a fancy cup but every time i hear the word i cant help but think about a fancy domesticated turkey strutting into the room like they want waffle fries and cranberry juice

and why do some people have eight THOUSAND salad plates? What kind of insane parties are you having over there?

[princely-dove]

recently i have learned that my gene donor(ex-king but i cant stomach calling him a “father”) once tried to remarry the queen after their fake dating scheme they went at for a bit, then mother’s reaction was to refuse and got into a fight when gene donor insisted he’d take me with him if she refused.

like, sorry for the bad language but i beg your fucking pardon *name* you literally tried to kill her during your divorce. What makes you think she’d want to be stuck with your scheming ass AGAIN!?

[princely-dove]

the duke and duchess still blame me completely for the latest family scandal since my cousin twisted it around, wouldnt have happened if i didnt have somebody pushing me to do their dirty work over a stupid grudge.

They still refuse to provide evidence for their claims and honestly im worried our little family reunion is going to escalate quickly.

If things go wrong at least i have the fact that im trying to take accountability and fix it on my end, its going to take all ive got to not roast someone the same way a certain court jester would.

grandmother’s birthday is coming up soon, which means stressful travel. Hopefully we can visit a couple universities on the way and inquire about what would be needed to study there, i heard one of our stops is in a lovely seaside town while another is a bustling large city.

adults love seeing a small child or teenager who is so visibly anxious and uncertain of themselves and quiet so they can tell them "HEY!! 👹 YOU BETTER GET SOME CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW! 🗣 AND SPEAK UP! 🤬 YEAH YOU! 👊 SHY KID 💥 EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS SHY KID 👈 WHO I'M GOING TO FIX 🙏 WITH THE POWER OF LOUD !!! 😤 YOU'D BEST BELIEVE IT! 😱 NOW SHOUT, SHY KID!!! 🤯 SHOUT AT ME!!! 👽 HUUAAHH&HHH 🗯 NOW TEAR ASUNDER THE HUSK OF YOUR FORMER SELF ☠️ YEAH RIGHT NOW 👇 WHY DON'T YOU FEEL CONFIDENT 💣 I AM GIVING YOU THE CURE" and the shy kid has to pretend like this isn't the millionth time they've had this exact conversation

[medievalsquire]

my knight insists he can sense evil but so far this ability mostly applies to beautiful women who are courting the prince and nicer than average innkeepers
