Hey, Hey time for a new temporary master post cause I still haven’t fully sorted out my sidebar links but I want to get some stuff out this week.

As a follow up to my royalty post the other day, here are the previous rulers of Viridi from the House of Nova. Cole, Dagny, Edda, Page, Regan, and Maddox. Not sure if the fashion is right yet. I’ll work it out before I make official portraits. It’s supposed to be a pretty isolated country so they’d probably have their own textile traditions tied to their insular culture. As my favorite fashion historian says fashion is a response, not an island. 

Anyway, I suppose I am going to go ahead and do this thing. However I set this up under it’s own simblr account because I just figure it’ll work better for the rp elements. There’s nothing there yet but you can find that HERE. I’m still working out a lot of the details.

I thought I lost this post! I stumbled on it today just going through my family trees. These are all the Viridi monarchs before Prince Bastian, Estra’s grandfather. Obviously this was posted VERY early into my world development so some of the details have changed. However as this is my main legacy family the people are the same no matter what universe they are in.

Just wanted to see Percy in this dress. That is all.

What are some words that are a big part of your oc’s vocabulary? How did they pick up on them?

Heyyy, thanks for the ask, why wasn't I following you on this blog? What a crime. Sorry fixed now. >.<

ANYWAY, if we're talking my royal story I think probably the biggest thing that stands out is Sorori language doesn't have contractions so when I write any of them that grew up in the isles I purposely do not use them when "translating" their dialogue to English.

Sometimes I wish I wouldn't have done this because it kinda is limiting at times but I made a choice and the choice is now made. One benefit is I guess for my collab partners is that's a good way to make my sims sound like they do in my story as a shortcut. Just say "do not" instead of didn't and wallah!

[royalmedani]

Your monarch(s) is given two options, hand the throne over to another noble family or abolish the monarchy all together. Which do they choose?

Ooo good question, thanks for it!

I think Estra would abolish the whole system. She is very spiteful like that and her family have strong views about their place in society (see below).

Lupita probably would gracefully hand it over to a fellow noble house and not much would probably change in anyone's lives, lol. Same game, just under a different name. I think this is highly influenced by each country's history, given Apricus suffered through a major civil war in historical memory while Viridis has not. Though the houses in Viridis are more prone to infighting and instability than anywhere else. The Nova's have kind of maintained their power by balancing all these different powers and don't think anyone else would be as good at it as they are. The other monarchs are more complicated and since they haven't officially made appearances in the story I'll just answer these two.

Special thanks to @simfulwoohoo for Mihira. <3

Domiponti In Valire, Viridis 

Freya: “Stop it, you are not going. I know what I am doing.” 

Mihira: “Please be careful.” 

Jericho: “It is nothing I cannot handle, you know I would not risk it if it was.” 

Freya: “Besides I think we both know you are not ready to face the reality of your part in all this.”

Percy: “I lost my fluff and it is cold and I - and I- Can we just go now Papi?” 

Olin: “You know who I am?” 

Percy: “mmhmm” 

Esai: “Now Tati, please take her straight to Pinea. I will follow once I sort some extra details out here. And just to clarify when I say straight, I mean the safest and most direct route to the mountains. No layovers, no snack stops, no side trips. Got it?”

Percy (whisper): Papi.. 

Olin: “The how or why this happened does not really matter at this point though does it?” 

Percy: “I cannot sleep here.”

Olin: “Used to always be that way.” 

Esai: “I know but is it not illegal now?” 

Olin: “Definitely but it is not like established traditions just die when a new generation comes.” 

Esai: “Holding a person hostage in hopes of coercing them into your bloodline is a pretty messed up tradition though.” 

Olin: “Well it was thought more as fostering I guess. Everyone back then would just pray the kids would get on well enough by the binding to produce a result.” 

Esai: “A result? You know you are talking about children right?” 

Olin: “What better public expression of peace between two powerful families? C’mon, I know you are not this naïve.”

Olin: “Besides, she is not responsible for this. No, this is Thea’s work.” 

Esai: “The same Thea that just took temple?” 

Olin: “For real? When did this happen?” 

Esai: “Recently, why?” 

Olin: *sigh* “Let’s just get moving.”

Olin: “Why would I have waited? Like hypothetically why would I have waited twenty years to get unrestricted access to my children if I thought that woman was the only one in my way? That hurting her would make any of this better?” 

Esai: “Oh... that is actually a good point.” 

Olin: “Because your Mata would never forgive me, you would never forgive me.”

Esai: “Tati, tati wait! Please just - Please do not hurt my Nani.” 

Olin: “Setting aside we are talking about the leader of a sovereign nation, you really think I would do that?” 

Esai: “Honestly? I dunno...” 

[royalmedani]

Esai: “It is always so strange when you do that.” 

Olin: “Just makes things easier. Besides you are the only one around here who would notice. Now what does your Nani want from me this time? Izan is all grown up now, and you know I am not about to prevent him from defecting if that is what he wants to do.” 

Esai: “Actually Tati.. I am the one who needed you.”

Olin: “Wait so... does she even know? Esai- Are YOU rebelling? Against the Queen?”

Esai: “I just... need you to move someone quietly for me.”

Olin: “Sure thing, but if this turns out to be one of your girlfriends -”  

Esai: “Trust me you are going to wish that was all it was.”

Olin: “Why? What happened?”  

[royalmedani]

Since the end of this chapter is going to be rolling up fast I went through and made sure my links were populated since I queued some of the posts and holy shit I missed a lot. Sorry to anyone trying to catch up. The link to the chapter on my masterpost should now have the full chrono.

Esai: “So why did you automatically assume it was Izan?” 

Olin: “He was my safe house in the Dead Tips a few weeks ago, and I tell you what he is fucking lucky he is my kid because otherwise -”

Esai: “Why what else did he do?” 

Olin: “That little cacari stole all my fucking money.” 

Esai: “Your blood money?” 

Olin: “I am banished Esai, I am legally dead what the fuck do you want from me? Besides, he also brought a girl there! That place is fucking dangerous, seriously what was he thinking?” 

Esai: “I am sure you know exactly what he was thinking. Did you forget how we exist?” 

Olin: “Gods I fucking swear, yes my mistakes are many, can we focus on your brother please?”
