Always & Forever." ⏳✨ Decades of love, dozens of storylines, and a chemistry that never fades. There will never be another duo quite like John and Marlena. This slideshow is a little trip down memory lane for the ultimate supercouple.

It was only a matter of time until I made fanart of Age of Empires 3. Decided to start by drawing the entire family tree of the game's protagonists.

Every named character - except for Phillip (he was only mentioned in the game's guide) - is playable in the game. You start with Morgan in mid-1500s and work your way generation after generation of the Black family until mid-1800s.

My favorite characters are definitely John and Chayton. John has one of the best lore and is in the Act with the best cast of characters, and Chayton is unhinged and a baddass.

Below the cut is my thought process for the drawing. Also, if anyone wants to see my Age of Empires posts, the tag on my blog is "aoeposting".

Starting with Morgan. According to the wiki and the game's guide, he had four children. Two we don't know the name of, John's father Phillip and John's uncle Stuart.

I assume, since Morgan is 200 years old by the time John is born, that neither Stuart nor Phillip were Elizabet's children. He probably had them way later, after getting married to a British woman. But since it's canon he and Lizzie had a situationship, I'm assuming those two unnamed kids are hers, and she took them and raised them as pirates.

I doubt Lizzie ever married Morgan. Though now I don't know what's funnier, them getting married or Morgan the Knight inventing friends with benefits in the 1500s and having children out of wedlock with a pirate.

Well, we don't have time to unpack all that.

So Morgan's British Wife is very posh, to explain why Stuart stands out so much when next to his woodsman nephew John. Both John's father and mother were inspired by the Settlers' design in-game.

I made John's mother be half-Mohawk, because a friend of mine pointed out John and Ká:nien are implied to have grown up together, as well as John having some beadwork in his coat.

I drew Nonahkee's new design, just gave her her old design's braids.

I made Nathaniel's wife white, blonde, and very similar to Amelia, because despite Amelia being half-Mohawk, she looks white, looks nothing like her dad, and is even asked at some point in the game if it's true her family is mixed.

For her husband, I looked up pictures of Lakota men from that time period, as well as some of the in-game Lakota exclusive units. He was particularly inspired on the Club Warrior.

And finally we get to Chayton, who is white, Mohawk and Lakota, with Brits and Scots in his family history. I did say this game was about a long string of biracial people.

He rides off into the sunset at the end of his story. We don't know if he had any children.

Days of Our Lives haven't even gotten to air Bill Hayes/Doug's tribute episodes yet, and now they'll have to try to plan another for Drake Hogestyn and John. Meanwhile I feel like part of me never quite moved past Victor's passing. Between Days and General Hospital losing so many former and current stars, it's been a very sad few years for the soap world.

The big day had come.

Bishop became a senior. Of course, he missed his twin sister Bridgette very much that day.

The entire family gathered at Bishop's house in Glimmerbrook. It was a miracle that his father Benjamin was still among them.

All: "Happy birthday 🎉."

❤️🥳

********

Benjamin: "Oh my boy. Now we are both gray-haired. Ouch, my back."

Bishop: "Dad, don't you want to sit down?"

Benjamin: "Yes, good idea."

John Black: "Viscount Gothington, do you have a minute?"

Benjamin: "Yes, of course."

John Black: "As you know, Danielle and I feel very deeply for each other."

Benjamin smiled: "Yes. Julian is wonderful."

John Black: "Exactly. I have given up my position in the realm of magic and would like to ask for your blessing to make Danielle officially my wife and to marry her."

The fact that John Black had given up his position as a Sage impressed him very much. Perhaps he had done the Black family an injustice because of his prejudices. More important to Benjamin than power was the happiness of his descendants. Danielle seemed very happy. "Daniell seems to be very happy with you. Who am I to have anything against it. Be welcome to the John Black family."

John Black: "Thank you very much."

Bishop: "Anne, how are you?"

Anne: "Very good Dad.“

*******

John Black: "Danielle, my love, do you have a moment?"

Danielle: "What is it?"

Her inquiring gaze made him smile. For a moment, he looked at her, and an indescribable warmth spread within him.

It was more than just the merging of two powerful bloodlines. What existed between them was undoubtedly more. He knelt before Danielle. "My dear. You have changed my life and blessed me with a healthy son. Therefore, I would like to ask you to become my wife."

Danielle stared at John. Butterflies seemed to dance in her stomach and her heart pounded against her ribs. She loved the man who knelt before her. He had given up his position in the realm of magic for her. Tears gathered in her eyes. "Yes, with pleasure."

I imagine Ká:nien was very surprised when he returned home to his sister and found her heavily pregnant. In my AU where John survives, I think they'd have twice the surprise, as Nonahkee sees what happened to her lover.

Makes me wonder how their reunion went in canon - with Ká:nien returning alone. No doubt it would've been heartbreaking for both of them.
