Angst😮💨... In your opinion, how much would Franco's psychological state worsen if Big Sister Barbi died? What's worse, if it happens before Sinyala or after he's already there?
This is such a yummy scenario.... Accidentally left this to rot in my drafts for like a month,, I'm posting this now bc someone had a similar ask and I was like I could've sworn I already posted that. Evidently not, oops.
TW: Incest, Su1cid3 (Franco uses Lupara on himself don't take this lightly)
In the event that you die pre-Sinyala, Franco would want to follow not long after. Of course, not before taking care of unfinished business. Unlike him, youre health, spry—full of life. You dont just drop dead.
He tries to deny it when he sees you passed out on the couch. He fruitlessly tries to shake you awake, hoping you truly were asleep, but a deep pit formed in his stomach the moment you didn't respond to him calling out for you.
Franco was a man with many enemies and he was no idiot. He sobers up in time.
He thought he did a great job of keeping you seperate from all his business. Well, it turns out that he wasn't great enough. A small glass bottle sits on your pristine counter. A bottle of poison. A taunt.
In an anger fueled stupor, he goes out and hunts the man responsible. There are in-betweens of the chase where he can do nothing but wait. In this time, full body sobs that wrack through his very being become a very intimate friend of his.
He's back to that snivelling, helpless kid he once was. But this time, you're not there to make it all better. Not there anymore like you were for the entirety of his miserable life. There's nothing he can do past this—nothing waiting for him.
He makes quick work of the culprit and makes a stop for some liquor. He drowns himself in alcohol—the only strength that would keep him moving at all—and then he goes back home.
He knows you hated it when he smelled like alcohol and when he didn't hide Lupara properly. He would've laughed at the irony if he had the energy to. He digs your grave and chucks you in through tears. You still look as beautiful as ever.
With the job done, he hunkers down and cries some more on your shared bed. He's sobbing in the fetal position for several hours before he finally gets up and uses his beloved Lupara one final time.
I believe it doesn't matter whether you die pre or post Sinyala. The ending will be the same. Maybe the process gets a little bit sped up in Sinyala but he still ends up offing himself in the end. The reagents meet a swift death, and his follows shortly after. He makes the decision faster because he is not keen on Murkoff keeping him alive to poke and prod at. He cries by your side before ending himself there next to you.
What was Big Sister's relationship with Angelina like? Did they dislike each other?
Extra stuff in the tags because I feel like its relevant but not enough to find a place in the fic ok bye I loved this ask
CW: Incest
For the most part, I think you liked Angelina. She was a nice woman, and you preferred her over a lot of Salvatore's old wives. She made your family feel a little bit more normal, which is why it was understandable why Franco wanted to spend more time with her nowadays. Nevermind that she was your age, it was nice to have someone to look up to in the world of a woman.
As for how she viewed you, I think she was pretty impartial. She was definitely nice enough to earn your favor because of your proximity to Salvatore, but she found Franco to be much easier to entertain.
You were naive yes, but Franco was a man—one whose desires were easy to read. She did appreciate your naiveté as it made fooling around with Franco easier, not having to worry about you being too big of a problem as you trusted what either she or Franco had to say with little to no question.
You being easy to manipulate meant Franco would not be much harder, as much as he would like to think otherwise.
Them paying more attention to each other did make you sad and frustrated in a way you could not yet describe, but you couldn't fault Franco for preferring a woman like her—a pretty lady like her who held your fathers approval. She would have been a role model to you—exactly what your father needed you to be.
But you were not like her, and the fact seemingly even Franco was seeing that now... Hurt. But Franco noticed your shift in mood and hated it. He would try to spend more time with you and reassure you as best as he can.
But since he hasn't been with you sexually yet, he gets pent up which results in his escapades with Angelina to become riskier. This eventually became the reason Salvatore caught them and kicked Franco out.
how clingy do you think franco would be to big sister during the trials? it's pretty hard to cuddle with her when he has to chase reagents
I also think that older sister would have a ranged weapon. she is not physically strong enough to defeat someone in close combat
CW: Incest
If anything, I believe Franco would try his very hardest to keep you out of his trials. The only reason you're in sinyala with him is because he would not cooperate, not knowing if you were safe out there or not.
As long as he knows where you is and that you're safe, he is okay. He was used to leaving you at home to go do his business, after all. So he makes you stay in wherever the prime assets are held when not in their trials.
In the unlikely event that hes not allowed to do that, he makes you camp out in a place he deems safe that changes with every trial you are on. He's not really clingy during the trials at all, not wanting to lead reagents to your position knowing what they can do.
He can't help but worry, however. If he doesn't know the position of any reagent in a prolonged amount of time, he patrols the area where you are in line of sight and makes sure you're okay. At some points, he makes you move spots to make sure your location is not obvious. A stationary taget is an easy one.
Franco definitely forced Murkoffs hand to get you a gun for your safety during his trials. Really, it was impressive how much he could get done with a tantrum or two. Well, that's what the scientists want him to think at least. Studying your dynamic with each other was good research, so they were inclined to hand what either of you needed.
In game, I feel you'd function similar to a trap. You'd change positions every time you have to shoot at someone, to not risk anyone coming back and finishing you off. Franco is also familiar with the sound of your gun, and knows the spots to check whete you rotate.
Franco may be clingy, but your safety is still above all. The trials are only temporary after all, while you are his forever.
I commed more art for Chiara (From Rameses Mamano on Facebook) this is more accurate to how I view her!! Anyways have some small details about her appearance
- Very modest, is naturally timid around men but Franco especially doesn't want rhat attention on her.
- The pearl earrings are a gift from Franco, he doesn't like gifting anything too flashy but he still wants her to look classy and rich. (Also your mother owned a pair herself)
- Franco prefers her hair long. Was not taught to care for it that well so it tends to get messy, and she doesn't know how to do any complicated hairstyles.
- Pretty lean. A proper woman shouldn't be big, even if she is provided for properly.
- I mentioned this somewhere else but she has a rosary somewhere on her person.
This was my first time commissioning an artist so I couldn't explain her exactly how I wanted but the artist was great I am the issue I think this is still a really cute drawing,,, This is like older au when Franco drags them out somewhere nice ok,,,,
I will probably write a little info sheet about what I really imagine her to look like soon ok bye
It seems like Big sister is often left alone at home. How is she not lonely and sad? Moreover, Franco often visits prostitutes and devotes his time to them, not to her🤔
I like this question, for once I wrote this all in one sitting.
CW: Incest, Catholicism
You did get lonely a lot, but you remind yourself that its only natural for women to be left alone in the house. Your own father was gone for weeks on end. Franco following in his footsteps believes that philosophy—he was a working man, after all! And because you couldn't exactly provide his specific needs, he'd have to get those sorted out elsewhere.
However, he loves you so much that he physically can't stay away for that long. His absolutely maximum is two days. You were incredibly lucky to have him around so much, and he made sure you knew that.
Along with that schedule, Sundays were holy, but you two didn't go to church so it ends up being family time instead. Not once has Franco missed that. It's something that was hardwired into him by you. You always used to murmur at him to be good and pray at least every Sunday, and he has always stood by that. Both of you carry a beaded rosary somewhere on your person.
When Murkoff took him, being gone on a Sunday was when you really started to freak panic. You knew to some extent what could jave happened to him but you prayed and you prayed and you cried before praying some more. On his end, he did the same. Praying every day just in case it was a Sunday because he couldn't even tell what day it was anymore.
In time though, both your prayers were answered and your reunion within Sinyala couldn't be sweeter.
Would Franco sacrifice himself for big sister? As for her, she probably would. But I can't imagine them living without each other
I believe my latest barbicest post answers this!! More focus on big sister here :>>
CW: Incest, Sv1c1d3
Even if he had no power over the situation, Franco would still feel such immense guilt and grief that would result in him offing himself. So if he actually had stakes and if there was even a chance that his death would result in your survival? He'd do it in a heartbeat.
The only thing that could come close to making him hesitate this would be seeing you beg him not to do it. Of course, he'll still go through with it but if time allows, he'll spend his last few moments reassuring you. This will be the only one of his lies that you refuse to buy into. He'll be gone, and you'll end up helpless.
After the act, the guilt consumes you. You clean obsessively and you save every item and trinket that has even the most benign relation to him. It doesn't take long for it to truly hit. Before long, you find yourself cleaning through tears which splatter messily onto the counter. The more you wipe away, the more appear and in the end you break down.
He never taught you how to use Lupara, but you figure that it was only fitting to use his beloved weapon a final time.
There isn't really a situation where Franco would allow you to sacrifice yourself instead. Maybe only if it was a decision you made that he didn't know about, but the aftermath of that is about what you would expect.
At what point will Franco first touch big sister in a way he shouldn't? Will he think "Well, I've been holding back too long, I should have touched her boobs" in the middle of the day and do it? Or will it happen (almost) by accident?
I finally made the tag for the siblings so you guys can follow it if you want to see any smaller snippets I write <33 love u guys mwah mwah
CW: Incest
I think this ask fits in with this piece I already wrote for them.
Theres no one moment where Franco just decides to grope you. Physical touch has always been big between you two, even as innocent kids. You were the one always huddling and shielding him with your body when the screams and sounds of violence of your household got too much. Physical touch always brought you two comfort.
Ideas of that touch being escalated to something more were introduced to Franco early, when Salvatore brang him along to learn the ropes of the mafia. While your father talked over some deal, Franco's little eyes derted every which way. The woman on the stage, the pairs of people littered outside, the salacious posters stuck haphazardly along the walls.
Sights no young boy like him should be seeing. Seeing these things on the regular turned into fantasizing, and then into wanting. He wanted something that just wasn't possible for a guy like him, so his sights turned into the closest woman available.
To his credit, he managed to try and stave away these thoughts for a while, but with the hormones of his teen years comes with urges he no longer has control over. His little self control proves useless against his needs as a young man.
It's slow, but his touches start to linger. You think he's just having a bad day, but its just that waters being tested. Light groping and wandering hands are all but natural progressions. You've become an expert of giving the benefit of the doubt by now. You don't even blink when he does it.
He's in a bad mood and he's been testing those waters for so long now that you're deemed ready. He plays up the dramatics and finally crosses that line. He genuinely does need the comfort, so hes taking advantage of the opportunity to finally get even closer with his beloved big sister.
