when did you join ? what made you join ? what do you remember from the plotlines that were current at the time ? where were you in life when you joined and where are you now ?

i hadn't rped since 2017 and during the pandemic around dec 2020/jan 2021 i was sooooo bored since all my work turned remote so i went through the "royal rp" tag and hshq was the only rp other than like one other in the tag at the time. i don't remember any specific plotlines, i just remember being thrown into the nye event on the yacht or something? and that's when hijacking was first introduced iirc. and now i'm trying to buy a house and that makes me want to vomit!

which characters have you written over the years ?

haera, san, io, araya, meixu, okeyo and inna

what is your favourite plotline that you've been part of ?

i think meixu's life in general. i thought she would have found someone and gotten the family she wanted and the happy ending ( w a few struggles ofc ) but she ended up alone and more jaded about life! something more comedic would probably be when araya and ireti got tattoos during the monaco event and she thought her tattoo said ja rule instead of jaurel. and def lawnchair gate.

what about other people's plotlines ?

when matilde pushed arnauld into the pool. the english plotline was supes fun to watch unfold.

who is your favourite character from the ones you've played ? why ? what made you love them ? what made them so fun to write ?

meixu because she's the most different from me personally. she deserved the most and the best, but always ate shit asjfhsadkf araya was the easiest to write. she had some good one liners. going to miss my flat assed baddie ♡

if you could relive a plotline, which would it be ?

lawn chair or the lunch thread with the solets. evy, kit and i were in shambles about it. we still bring it up every now and then and idk why it's still just as funny to us as it was back then.

is there a plotline that you'd edit now if you could ?

i don't think so

what's a plotline you wish you would have been able to finish before closing or just write more of ?

probably meixu, she feels the most incomplete. i wish i could have wrote more on how jianguo's death affected her and how that changed her relationships. the other one would be auraya since i honestly did not think they'd last, but here they are, still sharing a single brain cell ♡ if the africa plot actually took off, that would have been fun.

what is your favourite ooc memory ?

when e and i were writing lawnchair gate, giggling nonstop beside each other. we tasked ourselves to a challenge where if i wrote a two word reply, she'd have to write a three word reply, and then my next reply would have to be four words ( you get the idea ). we would count how many words the other person wrote because we'd lose track and then mess up and have to count again. whenever there would be a red carpet event like the oscars or during fashion week, j and i would always play this game of who in hshq would wear it. it was fun. when kit and i spent an entire night trying to pronounce all the characters names and we'd attempt it at first and play the actual pronunciation after and die about how inaccurate we were. and ofc, throwing tomatoes at jo in the disc chat ♡

where can others find you if they want to get in touch ?

discord, but i'll probably not be that responsive sdfhsdf i'm not that great with keeping in touch with people 😭

what else would you like to say ?

i know i joined a bit later and haven't made as big of an impact as others, but i honestly thought i would last two weeks and end up becoming inactive because established groups are intimidating! i'm glad i gave it a chance, i met some really good friends on here that are beyond just "rp friends"! this feels like a high school graduation since this will be the last time we all see each other on the dash like this and it's very bittersweet! hshq was a great distraction for me during the pandemic and i feel honoured to have wrote alongside you all and i'm happy i was able to make so many gifs of so many different faceclaims. loved seeing you all use them.

" really? " she looks up at him. the overthinking consumed her and she thought of the worst! she had convinced herself he wouldn't want her there. hearing the exact opposite was more than a pleasant surprise. " i'll go with you. " she tries not to seem too eager, but a smile appears anyway. what would it be like? them being in such close proximity outside of the program. and what would she wear? all the clothes she brought to the trip were definitely not palace appropriate. " of course i have. " she shrugs. " i've thought about maybe moving to germany... and like, the scary stuff — marriage. " she lightly laughs. the thought of them being married was comical! they could barely have an earnest conversation. " have you? "

" huh ? " he frowned softly. why did his mother have to be so pushy ? it was pushy to call her. it was pushy and oh-so-transparent considering the little hints and comments she kept slipping into conversations. " nah, you should come. i'm gonna be there a while anyways, it'd be nice to have you there. if i can pretend not to be in a long distance relationship, i will. like happily. " he could leave it at that. he could act oblivious and pretend there wasn't a more pressing question hanging in the background. he could ! he could but he had made a promise to wiebke wittelsbach not to run from responsibilities. " have you thought about... well, the future, i guess. what's gonna happen now that we're not part of the program anymore ? "

[arayamahidol]

" mmm... " she thinks on it for two seconds. " nah. i didn't feel shit when my dad died, but then again i don't remember him at all and he was literally a whore that had like too many wives. " maybe they're both awful for thinking this way about their late fathers, they never cared to be upstanding citizens anyway. " if you think the big cardboard cut outs of his head is too much, i can cancel the order. "

❝ LET'S DO BOTH, he'd want that. ❞ she sighed. ❝ is it awful ? that i'm relieved, i mean, i should feel something else. but i don't. ❞

" so is the party today or tomorrow because i thought it was today and i already sent the dj the deposit. " ( @svljc )

" do you ever have any fun? or was the threesome that happened like 20 years ago your peak. " ( @louisedebelgique )

[arayamahidol]

" well, like i said, i don't know what your relationship status is and fuck louise! i told you not to listen to her. she literally never has a single good idea. " araya was still pissed about the arrangement. " honestly... would rather you end up with ari at this point because at least you were happy or whatever even if she kissed my boyfriend who wasn't my boyfriend at the time when you two were together, but that's all in the past! " araya glances over at her phone to view the profile once more and shrugs. " i doubt she'd run to the press. she's not one of those influencers. her dad is some big oil guy. old money, y'know? "

"you've forgotten my... predicament," he spoke, tone about as bored as he felt in his godforsaken engagement. how on earth he'd let louise talk him into it, he didn't know, or rather he did but hardly wanted to admit he'd allowed himself to be a royal puppet. "how cute are we talking though? and what about her likelihood to run to the press if i spend a night in her bed instead of my fiancée's?"

[arayamahidol]

" who's going to order me soup when i get sick? a-and who's going to go to skating practices with you! who's going to hold my hair when i get too drunk! " she could barely talk through her sobs. " we're going to call and facetime everyday, right? a-a-and you won't forget about me or replace me, right? " she fears what used to be a low maintenance friendship will become too increasingly high for ireti. and through that, she fears their friendship will dwindle to merry christmas and happy birthday texts. " if i gave you a week's notice, we'd be crying for a week! "

she could feel the tears coming on even before araya's voice began to break — and ireti felt her cheeks feel hot as her stomach swooped with sudden sadness. "don't cry! hey— don't worry about it!" she threw her hands around her best friend's shoulder, pulling her in for a tight hug. "i know we couldn't stay here forever i just thought—" that they had a few more weeks, at least! the mere thought caused her tears to finally spill over. "shut up, oh my god. why are we crying! you're— i have money! we'll still see each other, planes exist... we wont be across the street from each other anymore but..." she groaned, pulling away from the hug as she furiously wiped at her cheeks. "you could've given me like... a week's notice."

[arayamahidol]

her eyes remain shut. " i couldn't tell you because! like! i don't want to! i don't want to cry about it! and like! have it be this whole thing about me leaving! a-and i'd have doubts about leaving and it's so stupid! but like! i don't know! " her plan had the opposite effect. tears were streaming down her face and she was making it a big thing while doubting leaving as she's sitting face to face with her best friend.

she blinked once, then twice. "like... tomorrow tomorrow?" where did this come from! and without one single text to warn her? ireti found it thoroughly difficult not to feel a little hurt. "why didn't you tell me?"

[arayamahidol]

" yeah! for sure, i'll look at my schedule and i'll get back to you on your schedule and we'll figure out our... uh... schedules. " she was such a bad fucking liar. " actually we can't. " she couldn't say it! she closes her eyes. " ugh! fuck! " she closes her eyes. " ireti, i'm leaving the program tomorrow! "

"hm? oh that's cool, we could go the next day? i can call and move our reservation." even though she wanted to get the quiches right at that moment!

" don't know what your relationship status is, but i met someone super fucking cute at fashion week and i think you'd really get along. she likes pizza and i think you really like pizza so you already have like one thing in common. i can send you her instagram if you want to creep. her ex was some duke from lithuania. he's like a solid 2, and that's totally being generous. " ( @beaudebelgique )

" so... your mom called me this morning and she invited me to germany after our trip which is soon and i didn't want to like... not tell you. just want to know your thoughts about that and if you'd rather me — y'know, not go. " ( @aurcls )

[arayamahidol]

" at least i didn't leave it at some guys house like silje did with my shoes! " which she still hasn't been compensated for. " the beach. right. that's why i came over today to tell you i can't go. something came up. "

"the one you swore you already gave back to me?" she grinned, taking the bag from her. "thanks — i have a new outfit to wear this with. we're still going to the beach club tomorrow right? i'm really craving those stupid quiches they make."

" sorry! i know i'm late, but i am going to make it up to you right now— " she presents her a dust bag. " the simone rocha bag you let me borrow! i found it! " ( @iretiolowu )

starter call for the last month, like or comment 🥺

[arayamahidol]

" no! no requests other than to take a photo of me on the balcony later. for the past two new years i've had no new years kiss and i'm literally not going to do anything to ruin that. and i hope he does the same. honestly, i'm just glad he's not wearing valentino pink again. i'll take that as a win. "

❝ AND YOU STAYED with him. threw all my hard work and incredible speech down the fucking drain. cheers. ❞ and now she had to help aurel figure out whether he wanted to propose or not. ❝ what other absurd request will you have for me this time ? ❞

[arayamahidol]

" you're right. you have so much like logic and stuff. i shouldn't be posting anything right now anyway since it's new years eve. one year since you broke up with my boyfriend for me! cheers! " she clinks their glasses together and takes a drink.

❝ CLOSE FRIENDS POSTS are a thing now, you know. not posting and getting lectured aren't your only two options anymore, we are evolving as a social media-driven society. ❞
