#im still chewing and gnawing and thinking about that and how it informs soo much of how they think and interact with the world

[fruitjuices]

I would LOVE to hear 1, 9, 11, 12, and 25 for your dnd character and her vampire wife 💜

YAY!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!! THANK YOU SM!!!!!!!

1. who fell first, and who fell harder?

omg... so literally AND figuratively speaking lyudmila (the aforementioned vampire wife) fell first. both bc she threw them both off of a cliff the first time they met. #meetcute. and bc she is also far far far more emotionally intelligent and can actually like.. identify and understand why she's feeling the way she is, so she pretty easily went 'oh i like her! yay :)' vs olenna (the aforementioned dnd character) who spent like six months going 'i would kill for her i would die for her i am trying to be a better person for her. This is all completely normal and means nothing btw' until it hits her like a brick on the head in a random tavern <3

9. soulmates by fate/chance or by choice?

the idea of fate/choice is actually a pretty major theme in olenna's life and (i think) what my dm has planned for her character and the campaign in general so this is suchhh a beautiful question to chew and gnaw on!

i think they'd both have different answers to this tbh. olenna would definitely err on the side of choice. she's done a lot of terrible things (and can't/won't recognize she was a child influenced and pushed by forces much larger and stronger than her, because that would mean recognizing she was able to be controlled, which would mean she was weak, and weakness/powerlessness is her greatest fear) and is convinced she's irredeemable because of it. her way of coping is to assign all the blame/responsibility on herself, because at least that way she was strong enough to make a choice - she just chose wrong. and she hates the idea of someone else pulling the strings on her life (which i only realized was important to her when she LITERALLY was puppeted around in our last fight. but i digress.) so. soulmates by choice.

lyudmila on the other hand... she hasn't had an easy life by any means, but i think the idea of like... no matter what she's been through, no matter whats been done to her, knowing that love was still waiting for her and it always would have found her is like. super super comforting. she also doesn't have a guilt/responsibility complex and in general she's got a much brighter outlook on life, so the idea of fate tends to skew more positive than negative for her. she really likes to think fate brought them together :)

11. who's more likely to do stupid, impulsive, or random stuff, and who's there being like, 'regrettably, that's the love of my life'?

ok in an effort to keep this brief... lyudmila does the silly, impulsive thing and olenna acts like she hates it but in REALITY she's eating it up. and mila knows that. and she's actually very much aware of when she's doing something impulsive, she just knows it'll get olenna to smile. which is why she did it in the first place! she's playing chess everyone else is playing checkers!!!!!!

12. one to three songs that remind you of them

not only will i give you three songs but i will also add lyrics that make me think of them <3

our house | crosby, stills, nash & young

life used to be so hard / now everything is easy ‘cause of you

unknown / nth | hozier

i could break beneath the weight / of the goodness, love, i still carry for you

unfucktheworld | angel olsen

i am the only one now

25. one to five tropes they embody or could pull off in an au

relationship reveal - mostly because when olenna revealed she was looking for lyudmila (she calls her her better half <3) she did not mention she was a vampire. because the rest of the party has nottt been very chill about vampires. so that's going to be a fun reveal!

vegetarian vampire - lyudmila was raised by her maker to only kill abusers <3

disappointing older sibling - olenna's relationship with her family is soo complicated and sooooo fraught and currently she thinks it would be better for her little sister to think she was dead than actually know what she's done. so. self imposed title of disappointment <3
