Hudutsuz Sevda | Episode 5

[heartxsighs]

✦ ・( aslihan malbora. cis woman. she / her. ) ⸺   🦬   greetings,  buffalos !   walking  around  campus,  sporting  HER  LIBRARY  BOOK  TUCKED  UNDER  HER  ARM  we’ve  spotted  ZEYNEP  SAHIN,  a  thirty  years  old  who  contributes  to  our  thriving  community  as  a  LIBRARY  ARCHIVIST.   according  to  our  intel,  she’s  been  around  the  sanctuary  for  TEN  YEARS  and  what  we  know  about  her,  aside  from  the  fact  that  she  DOESN’T  agree  with  the  decision  to  close  the  gates,  is  that  only  a  handful  of  people  know  about  her  ongoing  autoimmune  disease,  something  that  has  afflicted  her  for  several  years  and  does  not  seem  to  be  letting  up  no  matter  how  desperately  she  hopes  it  does;  she  can  most  often  be  seen  with  her  nose  in  a  book  and  while  zeynep  doesn't  make  it  obvious,  she  enjoys  writing  anything  from  poetry  to  short  stories  just  to  keep  her  mind  occupied  when  she's  unable  to  sleep  or  when  she  isn't  working;  she  struggles  to  verbalize  what  she's  thinking  or  feeling  at  times,  and  this  is  where  words  on  paper  come  further  into  play  for  her,  so  she  keeps  a  little  notepad  in  her  pocket  in  case  she's  feeling  anxiety  and  doesn't  think  she  can  verbally  communicate  effectively.  doesn’t  that  make  her  fantastic ?   we  think  it  does,  and  that’s  why  we  appreciate  her  so  much,  grateful  for  what  she  gives  to  our  community.

 

꒰ basics ꒱ ✦ full name. zeynep aylin sahin ✦ nicknames. zey, z ✦ age. thirty ✦ d.o.b. february 29th (pisces) - they celebrate on either feb 28th or march 1st typically ✦ gender. cis woman ✦ pronouns. she/her ✦ orientations. demisexual heteroromantic ✦ marital status. single ✦ occupation. library archivist ✦ languages spoken. english, turkish, some arabic

꒰ physical ꒱ ✦ hair color. brown ✦ eye color. brown ✦ height. 5 ft 6 in ✦ piercings. one in each ear ✦ tattoos. none ✦ distinguishing marks. a couple of birthmarks on her arms ✦ fashion style. when she's at home or alone, it's sweatpants and a raggedy t-shirt at all times. when she is out and about in the sanctuary, she likes to make herself presentable, to put forward the illusion that everything is fine, even when it isn't. her outfits vary in styles, from skirts that make her look Extra Librarian-ish, to dresses, overalls, and black jeans with a nice top. two things you can always expect from zeynep: 1) her Outside:tm: clothes will always be clean, neat and nicely put together, and 2) she will always accessorize with a necklace or bracelet or a series of rings. ✦ face claim. aslihan malbora

꒰ psychological ꒱ ✦ positive traits. gentle, sentimental, creative, kind, engaging, thorough, organized, observant ✦ negative traits. sensitive, quiet, guarded, awkward, anxious, petty, self-conscious, gets very in her own head ✦ mbti type. infj - the advocate ✦ temperament. melancholic ✦ education level. she is relatively smart, and given that she was homeschooled, zeynep finished her high school education a year early, practically devouring the courses and information she was learning. she was set to begin college at eighteen, but unfortunately never got the chance to, as the outbreak happened and squashed her plans. ✦ hobbies / skills. it may not be a very useful skill now, but it was a hobby back then: dancing. she was placed in ballet classes from a young age and advanced through with the rest of her peers, learning various moves and eventually working her way up to going en pointe. for all her distaste for being in the spotlight, something about the recitals and performances seemed to quash that fear, although she would experience a load of anxiety beforehand. other than that, if you want to know something specific, zeynep is the girl you go to. she has an interest in various topics and studying them, so if you have a question you want answered, and she doesn't know it, she'll gladly do research for you, just so she can have the chance to learn, as well. for other hobbies, she enjoys 'old lady' crafts, such as crocheting, knitting, and the like. she is also a very good writer, though she'd be embarrassed for anyone to read her works or to be given praise for them. ✦ mental ailments. anxiety, panic attacks, occasionally struggles to get her words out and thus finds herself frustrated and goes non-verbal ✦ physical ailments. multiple sclerosis, which is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. essentially, her body attacks itself, leading to various symptoms. some days are much worse than others for zeynep, and she latches onto the good days like a child would their mother. her bad days... well, they're the ones where she stays inside and struggles to get to work, depending on how utterly exhausted she's feeling. before coming to the sanctuary, stress caused horrific flare-ups for her, and she was sick for a long time after she and her father arrived. zeynep doesn't let anyone know about her ailment, because she doesn't want to be a burden on others, mentally or physically. it's easier to pretend like things are alright, though i'm sure some people have noticed in the collective ten years she's spent here that she's not altogether well.

꒰ familial ꒱ ✦ mother. ceren sahin (deceased) ✦ father. bayram sahin ✦ siblings. ahmet sahin, twin brother ✦ children. none ✦ significant other. none ꒰ history ꒱ (i'll make this nice and filled out later) cw: illness (multiple sclerosis), familial death

✦ yada yada, born to older parents who had her and her brother as 'oopsie' babies; the two were homeschooled because their parents wanted to keep them close; both were put in classes for things they enjoyed - zeynep in dance, ahmet in martial arts, though his parents worried about him getting hurt; when she wasn't dancing, her head was in a book and she read at least 2 every given week; she started dealing with health issues at the age of 16 and it would take a year for her to get a diagnosis; of course, it was only a year after that that the outbreak occurred and life went further to shit; her mom passed due to other circumstances, but zeynep, ahmet and their father remained; they were her rocks when she struggled, when her medication ran out and flares couldn't be tamed; they would arrive at the sanctuary two years after the outbreak, calling the place home; it would take her one year to get healthy enough to begin to work, and she immediately locked eyes on the library, where she was trained to be an archivist; some days, she thinks she won't survive, not because of the outbreak, but because of her own body raging against her ꒰ headcanons꒱

✦ she gets very sentimental about things that are important to her. she'll keep them in a special place, organized to perfection, and handle them with extreme gentility. before the outbreak, she kept all of her old pointe shoes and cried over the fact that she couldn't take them with her (although she understood it wasn't rational to keep them.) she also cried when her mom's necklace was lost after she, her father, her brother, and the group they were with had to make a quick run for better shelter ✦ she takes her time with things, prefers to be slow moving and not in wild rushes that stress her out, since her mind tends to do that anyway; thus, she ends up having a greater appreciation for the small things - the way the moon looks shining through her window, the soft fluff of a kitten's fur, the twinkle in her father's eye when he smiles. small details mean the world to her ✦ zeynep tends to be pretty socially awkward. some days, it's like she's fighting with a demon to get the right words out when they just don't want to come. quietness is her comfort zone, because she can too easily get over stimulated by voices and loud chatter. that said, she doesn't necessarily have a large preference towards being completely alone, but being shy makes it hard for her to be in large groups of people or entertain conversation from more than one or two at a time. she'd much rather be by the wall, watching what's going on or reading a book than to be stuck in the middle of it all, or the center of attention. too many eyes on her makes her wary, as if they can all see right through her. ✦ while she uses her little notepad to communicate some days when her mouth just doesn't want to work or she's too anxious to also deal with stumbling over her words, zeynep is also very big on physical communication - little hand touches, bumping someone with her shoulder, giving them a hug. obviously she's not going to just walk up to someone random, who she hasn't gotten to know very well, and hug them. but if the two are friends and she wants to show that she's there for them, she'll use one of these gestures, or show up at their door to spend time with them when she's not in her own little world ✦ she has several notebooks full of short stories she's written, but her latest piece is a poem; more later ✦ zeynep has a competitive streak, likely from growing up with a brother. she's also incredibly passionate, and sometimes, these two traits mix together in a 'deadly' way; more later lmao ✦ comfort matters deeply to her. this isn't just mental comfort, but physical, as well. for as much as she wants to have her mind at ease, she also needs to have her body relaxed and at peace. wrapping up in several blankets at a time can help zeynep with this, and if you end up visiting her in her room, you'll likely see her in burrito form ✦ loves psychology and reading about it; more later yeet ꒰ wanted connections꒱

✦ other librarians, as well as those who visit the library, please! i'd say this is where she gets most of her social interaction, and something about it being 'professional' really helps her to keep that hat on and choose what words she's going to use with a lot more intention than just in a regular conversation. she can answer questions about facts and books a lot better than she can talk about herself. watch out, though, she might start rambling about a topic she's really interested in, and then you'll be stuck listening to Nerd Shit:tm: for at least five minutes ✦ i'm ngl, having either her father, her brother, or both of them would fill me with such happiness, i can't even describe. they're both part of her support system, and she's part of theirs, holding their hands, telling them it's going to be okay, or giving them sympathetic smiles if they're having a rough day ✦ i'd say she might do the above (holding hands and telling them it'll be okay during a rough spell) for people she's close to, as well. it might take a little bit of extra effort to become an actual friend of zeynep's, but once you are, it means that she feels more comfortable with you than anyone else and can let herself just be, without having to feel self-conscious. she can engage the way she wants, without having to explain. she might not be overtly talkative, but she understands that being a physical presence is important, too, when it comes to others not feeling alone. just being there for someone, essentially, whether they're talking about an issue or just silently spending time with each other making idle chatter ✦ i'd say she's rather understanding towards others, except for when they're being assholes. then, she'll think the most petty thoughts about you all while staring you down a bit menacingly. seriously, it's kind of scary how she can get. even if she's not saying what she thinks out loud, it's not hard to tell how she's feeling, especially if it's anger or frustration ✦ it's been ten years, so maybe a past romantic interest or two? i have no idea exactly how this would have gone, so we can discuss it in depth together if you're interested. she has a preference towards men, but needs to have a connection with them on some level to be able to take the step of "hey, we're in a relationship now". she doesn't want to play around, or do casual dating - but hey, that could have happened in the past, before she figured out what she's interested in. and/or closed herself off because she thinks her illness would be too much for someone else to handle ✦ i'll get more here later as i think of things!!

Curse of Lazarus – What if? Anlässlich des neuen Website Updates, was uns ja, doch schon einiges über die Counselors verrät, was sind Ideen die ihr für euren Charakter hattet, die ihr dann doch verworfen habt? Seien es alternative göttliche Elternteile, FCs oder einfach Kleinigkeiten die es letztendlich nicht in den Steckbrief geschafft haben? :)

Oh man, wie ich schon wieder bei allem hinterher hänge - Erst mal: Your mind. Ich hatte mich genau dasselbe gefragt, aber war mir nicht sicher, ob irgendwer sonst sich über so etwas Gedanken macht x'D Ich bin echt sehr wankelmütig beim Schreiben, deswegen ist sehr viel rausgehauen wurden, aber ich beschränke mich mal ein wenig. 1. Hasen! Ich weiß nicht weshalb, aber ich hatte Tay eigentlich komplett mit Hasen und Kanninchen verbunden mental. Er sollte zwei Kanninchen haben (ergo er sollte eins haben und seine Schwester das andere), er sollte Hasenzähne haben und er sollte allgemein mit Hasen verbunden werden. Davon ist genau nichts mehr in seinem Steckbrief und die einzige Spur davon, ist auf seinem moodboard. ...dafür hatte ich es extrem gefeiert, als Caleb einen Bunny auf seinen Websiten Abschnitt gehauen hat. Like yes - you get it!! (Dafür mag er jetzt kleine hässliche Hunde, was relativ nah an Nagetieren ist vv)

2. Eigentlich wollte ich ihm eine kompliziertere Beziehung zu seinen Großeltern geben. Klassische "meine Großeltern sind traditionell, ich aber nicht" etc. Aber dann mochte ich seine Großeltern echt gerne und es hat sich für die Beiden ooc angefühlt, dass sie Tay da verstoßen würden. So now we have confused but loving grandparents that would iron his pride flag vv ~~Aber Enkelkinder erwarten sie trotzdem~~

3. Lustigerweise ist seine Zwillingsschwester, Zeynep, erst ziemlich spät hinzugefügt wurden. Davor hatte er eine beste Freundin namens "Olive", die die Bonustochter seiner Mom war, da Olive von zu Hause rausgeschmissen wurde. Allerdings hatte Gravity Falls dann über den Sommer ein kleines Comeback und ich wollte ihm unbedingt eine Zwillingsschwester geben x'D Das hat Olive dann leider überflüssig gemacht. [He gets one (1) best friend and now its his sister.]

4. (TW: Discussion about weight and body/body-image) Erst wollte ich ihm die klassische Nerd-Physique geben. Ergo dürr und unglücklich damit. Dann dachte ich mir aber, dass ich mir eigentlich vorgenommen hatte, verschiedene Bodytypes zu schreiben und meine Männer IMMER entweder dürr oder muskulös sind. Außerdem hatte ich das Gefühl ihn schon genug Probleme bereitet zu haben mit seiner.. eh.. Persönlichkeit. Stattdessen habe ich also tief durchgeatmen und mich gefragt, wie Tay sich wohl am attraktivsten fühlen würde. Rauskam "Muskeln eines Läufers, aber mit einer kleinen Fettschicht drüber und er ist sehr happy damit." Was ngl sich so viel besser für ihn angefühlt hat. Es passt zu seinem "Überflieger mit 15 Jahren, jetzt aber relativ durchschnittlich"-Vibe und ich wollte ihm wenigstens keine extra Unsicherheiten mit seinem Körper geben. Also a character that enjoys food, looks like he enjoys food and is happy with himself hat sich so viel... dunno... angenehmer angefühlt?

Danke für die Frage :D [Hast du sie schon zurück bekommen?]

also give us the webcomic world building rant i want to see it

i accidentally exited out of the app and lost the 3-4 paragraphs i had but i will try to recreate them. im not rlly sure it made sense anyway

so the thing about worldbuilding is. i am go big or go home. i cannot do "current civilization but slightly to the left" i need to take climates and terrains and then figure out what kind of cultures would grow there. i am, right now, focusing quite a bit on the main city and getting solid ideas for my main characters. not, you know, fully fleshed out, but what kind of character i want/need and how i would be interested in writing that. is there a plot? maybe. maybe not. im stuck between a story where the problems are mostly interpersonal vs. a story where there's external problems like The Prophecy or The Cursed Artifact or whatever. so far i think the main guy gets isekai'd and probably gets some manner of Cursed Object but it's like excalibur from soul eater instead of the ring from lotr. and he's stuck with it and it annoys him deeply

the other isekai'd character (there's probably more but this one is like an important side character) is turkish. which is Interesting. okay so main guy is either cuban (miami) or mexican (texas)-- the character he's based off of is cuban but admittedly i know so much more about mexico and the mexican american community. they're really very different cultures which is part of what makes it so hard. and if i go with cuban then that is two places i have to research bc i truly don't know enough about turkey. like probably more than most people but not enough for a character surely

i decided that the main religion (of the city, anyway) would be Judaism based instead of the usual Fantasy Christianity because 1) would be a nice break from how it normally goes and 2) before i decided much of anything i hit a character with my jewish beam and gave her an (ace attorney ass) jewish name (aviva blumenthal) and i got attached

my main point here is worldbuilding is hard and i worry i will be bad at it. im going back and forth on whether to make the climate hot and arid or hot and humid. it will be hot and no one will like it 👍

OH my list of names for the turkish character (last name will probably be Avci/Avcı or Koç (last letter is pronounced ch)

Mihra (means "love," could have fun mirror symbolism if that is ever relevant)

Sevda (love, from arabic word meaning black bile, melancholy, sadness. both turkish and azerbaijani)

makbule (community impressions on "behind the name" are "urban" and "strong" which is the vibe im going for)

zeynep (valuable stones, gems, beautiful, flowering fragrant tree)

dilek (wish)

ezgi (melody)

aynur (moonlight)

aygün (from "ay" meaning "moon" and "gün" meaning "sun")

cemre (warming of temps at the end of winter; nice opposite to aviva?)

eylül (september; another opposite for aviva. also a hebrew month that takes place around september)

şadiye (singer)

yağmur (rain)

yıldız (star)

as you can see im indecisive. there will be four "main" characters (all 3 above plus one) so i gotta figure out even more names. i do generally love that part but it takes forever. i know without a doubt that the hardest part of this will be trying to get any website i host this on to accept turkish and spanish letters and not give me some error.

im running out of steam so Goot Bye

Photo: Deposit Photos Fashion is an extension of self. From the drape of a silhouette to the choice of color, texture, and tone, every piece you wear becomes a narrative of who you are. Or who you want to be. But perhaps the most intimate part of that narrative is something no one can see: your fragrance. Perfume completes a look and transforms it. A scent can signal power, delicacy, confidence, and mystery. It lingers in a room long after you’ve walked out, quietly influencing how people remember you. And just like a couture piece, it’s personal, constructed, and expressive. It’s why so many of today’s luxury dressers start their outfit not with a blazer or boot, but with a single spritz of something that defines their energy for the day. Something layered and commanding, like Creed fragrances, sets the tone before a word is spoken. The Invisible Luxury That Shapes First Impressions Photo: Ron Lach / Pexels Unlike your handbag or your heel height, fragrance isn’t seen. Instead, it is deeply felt. It drifts, surrounds, settles, and connects. It’s part of your aura. While fashion hits the eyes, scent hits memory. And that makes it one of the most psychologically potent elements of personal style. Our brains are wired for scent. The olfactory system links directly to the limbic system. That’s the part of the brain associated with memory, mood, and emotional behavior. As explained by Smithsonian Magazine, this direct pathway makes scent more effective at stirring memory than any other sense. A single note can summon nostalgia, love, desire, or calm instantaneously. Fragrance is an emotion, identity, and legacy. A Scented Timeline: Fragrance in the History of Fashion Photo: Deposit Photos Fragrance and fashion have long had a symbiotic relationship. In ancient Egypt, scent was part of ceremonial dress. In Renaissance Europe, perfumed gloves and embroidered sachets were essential for aristocrats. By the 20th century, haute couture houses like Chanel and Dior were bottling the mood of their clothing collections in glass. In fact, the launch of Chanel No. 5 in 1921 redefined fragrance as fashion. No longer just about masking scent, perfume became a tool of seduction, power, and self-invention. Today, houses like Creed, with their royal heritage and exquisite craftsmanship, continue that legacy. They blend history with modern storytelling in a bottle. As fashion reformulates itself season by season, so too does our relationship to fragrance. It’s less fixed, more fluid, and endlessly expressive. How Scent Completes the Outfit Photo: Zeynep Ladin Ustundag / Pexels Wearing perfume is a sensory styling choice. Just as you wouldn’t wear towering heels to a beachside brunch, your scent should match your space, energy, and intention. The right scent can enhance everything from a minimalist column dress to an oversized shearling jacket. It becomes the “invisible layer”. It’s like the silk lining in your coat, the hint of attitude beneath a buttoned-up blouse. Here’s how scent aligns with fashion: Woody and leather scents ground structured tailoring in strength. Floral and powdery notes soften sharp silhouettes and play with contrast. Citrus and green notes pair beautifully with sheer fabrics, denim, or monochrome minimalism. Amber and oud elevate eveningwear and add depth to darker palettes. Scent goes beyond matching the vibe. It’s all about creating one. Fashion Psychology: What Your Fragrance Says About You Photo: Deposit Photos Much like choosing your outfit for the day, your fragrance choice is a projection of your inner mood. But unlike clothing, scent affects you from the inside out. Studies in behavioral psychology show that fragrance can alter confidence, reduce anxiety, and enhance cognitive focus. So what happens when your scent and your style are in sync? Magic. Harmony. Intentionality. A look becomes a moment, and a moment becomes a memory. Consider these fragrance-driven archetypes: The Muse Delicate white florals, rose, and muskSoft layers, balletcore aesthetic, a quiet elegance that commands attention through subtlety. The Disruptor Spice, incense, tobacco leaf, leatherBold tailoring, metal hardware, and beauty looks that play with symmetry and strength. The Minimalist Crisp neroli, vetiver, green teaNeutral tones, clean silhouettes, and a scent that feels like a second skin. The Seductress Amber, patchouli, saffronSatin slip dresses, velvet trenches, a scent trail that turns heads and keeps them turned. Each scent type amplifies your fashion look. Curating Your Fragrance Wardrobe Photo: Deposit Photos Just as you build your seasonal closet, think of your perfumes as part of a rotating capsule. A fragrance wardrobe allows you to choose scents based on mood, event, weather, and even the kind of statement you want to make. Here’s how to start: Choose a signature: A classic scent that feels like your essence. Add a daytime favorite: Light, energizing, wearable. It’s your fragrance for errands, work, or play. Keep a bold night option: Something darker, sexier, more opulent. Include a “mood-lifter”: A scent that instantly changes your energy. It’s the equivalent of red lipstick on a tired day. Your favorite fragrance brand can make this process intuitive, offering a range of depth, mood, and composition within one house, so your scents speak a similar language. Even when they shift tone. Fragrance as Fashion’s Future Photo: Deposit Photos As fashion grows from fabric and form into digital expression and personal storytelling, scent is emerging as the new language of luxury. It can’t be replicated digitally. It’s intimate, tangible, and rooted in the present. For Gen Z, who embrace identity, fluidity, and individuality beyond labels, fragrance offers timelessness and transformation. It’s both armor and allure, performance and presence. In a world saturated with visuals, scent remains a deeply personal signature. It’s subtle, unforgettable, and uniquely yours. So the next time you dress with intention, remember: fragrance is your essence in motion. Whether you exude quiet strength, bold theatrics, or effortless ease, lead with a scent that speaks before you do. Source link

Curating Your Fragrance Wardrobe Photo: Deposit Photos Just as you build your seasonal closet, think of your perfumes as part of a rotating capsule. A fragrance wardrobe allows you to choose scents based on mood, event, weather, and even the kind of statement you want to make. Here’s how to start: Choose a signature: A classic scent that feels like your essence. Add a daytime favorite: Light, energizing, wearable. It’s your fragrance for errands, work, or play. Keep a bold night option: Something darker, sexier, more opulent. Include a “mood-lifter”: A scent that instantly changes your energy. It’s the equivalent of red lipstick on a tired day. Your favorite fragrance brand can make this process intuitive, offering a range of depth, mood, and composition within one house, so your scents speak a similar language. Even when they shift tone. Fragrance as Fashion’s Future Photo: Deposit Photos As fashion grows from fabric and form into digital expression and personal storytelling, scent is emerging as the new language of luxury. It can’t be replicated digitally. It’s intimate, tangible, and rooted in the present. For Gen Z, who embrace identity, fluidity, and individuality beyond labels, fragrance offers timelessness and transformation. It’s both armor and allure, performance and presence. In a world saturated with visuals, scent remains a deeply personal signature. It’s subtle, unforgettable, and uniquely yours. So the next time you dress with intention, remember: fragrance is your essence in motion. Whether you exude quiet strength, bold theatrics, or effortless ease, lead with a scent that speaks before you do. Source link

Greetings, fellow adventurers! 🌌

Ever wondered if you could explore a whole new world without leaving your classroom? Well, buckle up, because VR and AR technologies are here to make it happen! Join me, Zeynep Kama, and Bengüsu Erol as we take you on an immersive journey to Amsterdam—and trust me, it’s nothing short of magical.

Picture this: you’re soaking in the lively vibes of Dam Square, celebrating King’s Day with orange everything, or marveling at Van Gogh’s masterpieces; all while sitting comfortably in your classroom. Sounds cool, right? Let’s show you how we made it happen.

For this adventure, we prepared a detailed 3-page worksheet (check it out below). The mission? Virtually explore three iconic spots in Amsterdam: Dam Square, King’s Day celebrations, and the Van Gogh Museum. Just scan the QR codes, and you’re there. 🌐

Here’s how the journey unfolded:

Dam Square: The starting point of our exploration! Students virtually wandered through the heart of Amsterdam, took in the sights of the National Monument, and enjoyed the dynamic street scenes.

King’s Day: Next, it was time to party... Dutch style! From boat parades to tasty treats, students got a full sensory overload of this festive orange extravaganza. 🟧

Van Gogh Museum: Finally, we dived into Van Gogh’s vibrant world. Through AR, students got up close and personal with masterpieces like The Bedroom and Sunflowers. Talk about art coming to life! 🎨

But it wasn’t just about sightseeing. We added some brain-teasers, too! Students reflected on questions like: “What was the most fascinating thing you saw at Dam Square?” or “Which Van Gogh painting would you bring home (if you could)?” These prompts turned passive observation into active engagement.

Now, let me tell you, creating this lesson wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. We used tools like Canva and VR/AR platforms, and while it was a lot of work, the payoff was worth it. Watching students’ jaws drop as they virtually "walked" through Amsterdam? Priceless.

Curious about our worksheet? It’s right below, go ahead and take a peek. And if you decide to try this out, we’d love to hear about your experience. Until next time, keep learning and keep dreaming. Love you all to the canals and back! 🌆

One of Zeynep's hands curled to a loose fist, reaching over to tap gently against her brother's chest. "Real brick house here, impressive," she teased, eyes rolling as she started to chuckle. He was certainly fit compared to a lot of people she knew, but that would never stop her from poking fun at the younger man regardless. "Honestly, I agree. It has a cool treehouse vibe, lots of different things for him to play with and I don't know. Hopefully make friends to have over. Even if that friend is just you for now." The set was big enough for more than just Darian to play on, bought out of a large hopefulness that he would make friends quickly in their new town. "That's part of it. Needed the muscle and someone I could trust not to make a mistake," she hummed back, nudging against his shoulder as she pulled a few more pieces to spread out in front of them. "He's too important to just let anyone put this thing together."

@hasadxaslan

Hasad's chuckle was soft as she played into his joke. Of anyone in the Aslan family, Zeynep was the rule follower. Hasad tended to toe the line between following the rules and bending them just enough to find that so-called loophole. "Oversized children, huh? I'll have you know that this is all structural, like those reinforced steel beams," he patted his chest as if they were the reinforced steel beams. "And remember, the internet says a lot of things," he chuckled, "but I'm inclined to believe it led you in the right direction with this one." He teased, setting more pieces on the ground from the box. "So that's really why you called me over, huh? To be your muscle guy? I'd be a little offended," he grinned, "but I'm more than capable." @zeynepaslan
