Hi, Reb! May I request:

💗 for a moodboard about another significant relationship in my muse’s life

For og!Nina.

Thank you for sending this, Flor🤍 Nina had moodboards with her mother and father, she couldn’t not have one with Pietro as well, could she?🥹

(Yes even the Ferrante siblings crack a smile from time to time)

“You were supposed to do something more.”

Those words came like a stab. There was no malice in them, just pure, painful truth. A truth everyone around her had forced her to forswear, to lock away in a drawer as yet another hopeless dream. In her heart, she had always known she was meant for something more, that she would never be able to find her happiness in marriage and family, but the reality of things had hit her too hard way too many times.

Nina clenched her jaw, her mouth going dry. “I tried.”

- Excerpt from Heart, Body and Soul - Epilogue of Act I

A/N: this post I made while rambling made me want to make edits for Nina and her family. With this one I tried to make something different from the rest of my edits, and pair it up with one of the actual scenes. This one is inspired by Nina and Pietro’s conversation in the Epilogue of Act I.

Hi Reb!

for any ocs you wish to talk about

How does your OC handle preparing for and initiating a difficult conversation? How does the conversation itself go?

What does your OC think others are saying about them behind their back? Is any of this true?

If your OC had to pick a new identity and skip town, what would they come up with? Where would they go?

Thanks for sending these Juli🤍

I went for 1) Pietro, 2) Salvatore and 3) Nina

OC asks

How does your OC handle preparing for and initiating a difficult conversation? How does the conversation itself go?

Pietro:

If there is someone who can have a difficult conversation, it’s Pietro. He’s the only one of the Ferrante whose communication issues aren’t awful — see Act One of HBS, where he’s the only one who sat Nina down not once, but twice, to have some serious conversation. He ponders his words a lot, tries to find the key to get to the other person and generally stays calm regardless the other person’s reaction.

What does your OC think others are saying about them behind their back? Is any of this true?

Salvatore:

People say he’s the most violent of the Ferrante and that he has lost his mind after the war. They’re scared shit of him and tend to stray away. Now, as for the violence, that’s definitely true. He’s always been a hot head with a quick fuse, and after the war this aspect was amplified — violence is his trauma response. But he’s not cruel, and he’s not crazy. Is he problematic? Yes. But he never hurts for the mere sake of hurting, contrary to what people believe.

If your OC had to pick a new identity and skip town, what would they come up with? Where would they go?

Nina:

That’s probably Nina’s dream lmao. To be whoever she wants to be, without anyone to define her. She would probably go study somewhere and leave her past a mystery, not even bothering to build a backstory, and go on with her new life.

And Nina:

what is a fear they never talk about ?

Is there something or someone that, if lost, would break them ? (Besides, Tommy)

OC asks

◊ What is a fear they never talk about?

Becoming like her mother. Now, while for us is no secret that it’s her biggest fear, she never talks about it. She’s scared that she will end up being nothing more than a wife, living in the shadow, watching her own life pass by without her. That fear only grew after she got married.

◊ Is there something or someone that, if lost, would break them?

Pietro. He’s the person in the family she’s closest to, the only person she knows she can trust blindly. He’s the one who convinced their father to let her finish school, he’s the one who stood up when they tried to force her into a marriage with Spinietta, he’s the one who protected her when the truth about her and Tommy came out. They’ve always understood each other better than anyone else, and even though their relationship inevitably changed after he came back from the war, they’re still each other’s person.

Hi, Reb!

For Pietro and Salvatore (you decided the questions)

who taught them what love is ? did it hurt ?

who have they never forgiven and never will ?

Thank you for sending these, Flor🤍

OC asks

◊ Who taught them what love is ? did it hurt ?

Pietro:

This is news I wanted to share for a while, but somewhere between Act 2 and Act 3, Pietro gets married, and his wife is his first and only true love. A fact about the Ferrante is that they love once and they love hard. All of them. So when he found the woman for him, he didn’t hesitate to make her his wife. It might sound sappy, but she brings out the best and softest part of him, and boy does he need it.

◊ Who have they never forgiven and never will ?

Salvatore:

Salvatore will never forgive Tommy for “ruining” Nina. Not only because it affected the whole family, but because he sees it as a lack of respect towards his sister, and he feels like she deserved better than that. It’s 1920s Southern Italy, people were extremely conservative, and as much as the Ferrante family is a bit more progressive, they do have their limits.

Salvatore:

[14] What does it take to make them laugh, and what does their laugh sound like?

Pietro:

[12] How high is their self-esteem?

Thank you @justrainandcoffee for sending this, I realised just now I posted it instead of leaving it in my drafts so it was complete nonsense😭

Anyway🫠

Salvatore:

Salvatore changed a lot after the war, but he used to laugh so much. Still, despite his rough exterior, he can be very playful with his loved ones. Constantly taking the piss out of them, making terrible jokes. That’s what makes him laugh the most. His laugh is deep, and kind of warm.

Pietro:

Very high. It’s not vanity, more being aware of his virtues and his worth. The Ferrante men are proud men, metaphorically built from iron (even their surname says it), Papa Ferrante raised warriors. And Pietro in particular, as the heir to the family’s empire, has been raised to be confident, and sure of his abilities. Also he’s smart and he knows it.
