Thinking very hard about an AU idea of mine. Reluctant king Sabo AU!

In which Sabo isn’t saved by Dragon, but survives long enough to drift ashore and be saved by the doctors of Goa Kingdom, who do so only to ransom his medical bills from Sabo’s parents. Sabo’s parents take him back, thinking that his amnesia makes him a clean slate, but Sabo, young and stubborn and unsure of his entire identity, knows that everything is wrong and runs again, and again, and again.

Until at some point, he meets the Revolutionaries, and realizes that he can be useful to them, provide them information, make something good of an inescapable situation. From then on, he starts acting the noble that he was born as, in order to be a more useful informant to the Revolutionaries, until sunk cost fallacy hits and he believes that being a noble is the only way that he can be useful to the Revolutionaries. So at that point, why not take it all the way?

At 17, Sabo becomes one of Princess Sarie’s suitors, and at 17, he has doubts about using the princess for his own goals. Sarie is a romantic, and she wants a dramatic fairy tale of a romance, and she was already charmed, but the moment Sabo opens up to her about not wanting to use her to get to the throne, having lofty ambitions of helping the people (just not the people she thinks he’s talking about), Sabo becomes the one she simply must marry, because surely if she tries hard enough, she can make him love her back.

Soon after, the king and his son die. Sarie’s father and brother die. And while Sabo conveniently ascends to the throne, he also swiftly implicates his father, Outlook, in the assassination of all heirs to the throne, resulting in Outlook’s arrest and subsequent execution. And thus, at 18, Sabo becomes king, and begins to gradually institute great changes to Goa Kingdom.

Design-wise, Sabo wears an eyepatch because his damaged eye is considered a grotesque sight by nobles’ standards. Under the eyepatch, he wears heavy makeup to hide the burn scar. These are both at the behest of his birth parents, who spin a story about Sabo having been born half blind to hide the fact that Sabo had been shot by a Celestial Dragon and save face. To those who have seen his scar, they fabricate a second secret story that he was unfortunately kidnapped as a child. Sabo never does find out, until he regains his memories, where the burn scar is actually from.

anyone else have this experience as an australian eurovision fan where waking up at 4:55am numerous times this week put you in a precarious mental state where you became unbearably patriotic and started weeping when Voyager qualified and then proceeded to watch their performance 5 times in a row out of pride of their resilience in getting to the competition and their excellent performance and professionalism or just me???

Alright. MBS Institute Thanksgiving, because if there’s one thing I need, it’s a LIVE workplace comedy.

Curtain: Insists on bringing the turkey, which he’ll say he made, but everyone knows he had his personal chef make it in secret.

Dr. Garrison: Shows up with cranberry sauce (that may or may not be from a can. Leave her alone, she’s a very busy lady and her interests lie in science.) She spends a lot of the night pouring out the champagne Curtain keeps trying to give her and replacing it with Mr. Oshiro’s sparkling cider.

Mr. Oshiro: He arrived early and brought a really nice bottle of wine for anyone who drinks (Curtain drinks the whole bottle), and bottles of sparkling cider for those who don’t. He also brings a really interesting type of salad that no one has tried before but most people end up loving.

Martina: Martina is quietly seething at the fact that she didn’t get to bring the turkey. She settles for stuffing that’s very protein-heavy and honestly pretty delicious, but anyone who eats it hears her speech about its optimal protein value. She also snuck into the building at 5 AM to decorate every inch of the place, because no one else would have done it right.

SQ: SQ hand-painted name cards for everyone! And he brought a gorgeous pie with a lot of intricate crust work that people are worried about cutting into because they don’t want to mess with his design.

Jackson & Jillson: Mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, but they each show up carrying a bowl of each, ending in 4 bowls of potatoes in total. (What people didn’t see was the way they nearly killed each other in an argument over cooking not 30 minutes earlier.) They also each brought identical electric carving knives for the turkey. No one is brave enough to ask where they got the knives. Everyone is just watching out of the corner of their eye and being extra polite to the two of them.

Jeffers: Jeffers spent hours making homemade rolls, and came in with all of them arranged on a tray to spell out his name. He thought it was cute and a form of self expression. They all get knocked onto the floor and it’s super obvious he spends 20 minutes trying not to cry when it happens. He’s ‘accidentally’ locked out of the room halfway through the night for multiple hours.

Bonus:

Isaac. No one is 100% sure who invited him, including Isaac himself. (It was Dr. Garrison.) but he brings miniature versions of every type of pie he can think of because he wasn’t sure what types people would like (I’m looking at you, scone scene <3)

This night will somehow end in violence.

Hi Rachel,

In some of my writing I’m beginning to notice more and more that certain characters (not all) remind me of myself lol. And I hate it, I go back and rewrite them. But I’m interested if you relate to any of your characters as well so—Out of the characters you’ve written (Lonan, Reeve, Harrison, etc..) who do you think is the most like you? And what’s your take on writers seeing themselves in some of their characters?

feel about seeing reflections

Hahaha I used to HATE writing characters that were like me, and it took a while to realize that actually, they ALL are me in some iteration. To answer your question about writers seeing themselves in their characters—if writing characters that are “self-inserts” makes you joyful, DO IT!!! If writing characters who aren’t self-inserts but have attributes to you makes you joyful, DO IT! Or if you’re not into it—that’s fine too! Life is too short! Have fun with what works for you!

My experience below, this gets kind of intense as a warning! CW: suicidal ideation, disocciation

Aligning myself with my characters has been an intensely life-saving experience. I’m not sure I’d be here if it were not for Lonan… 16-year-old Rachel WAS him, and also needed him because literally nobody else “understood” where I was at except for him (undiagnosed autism for BOTH OF US??).

There was a time of my life where I couldn’t emotionally regulate at all, and in moments of stress, would often dissociate and quite literally converse with this man (looking back now, this was just a coping mechanism—confirmed by my doctor btw!—but for a couple years he was a genuine part of my psyche, like moved out of just character territory). I think I talked about this years ago, but I have a really distinct memory of disconnecting so much I quite literally thought he was THERE next to me, which I needed—he really became an externalization of the things I couldn’t deal with (or didn’t understand how to deal with). I needed to see myself reflected in the eye of someone else and for a really long time that was Lonan for me. Actually screaming crying that’s so cute.

And Lonan is similar to me in a lot of ways! This is a side tangent but when I was first diagnosed as autistic it made me wonder if I’d inadvertently written any autistic characters & it struck me way back then that the person most similar to me (Lonan lol) is probably also autistic. I was like—sensory issues?? No emotional regulation?? Speaks a bit oddly?? We are THE SAME. Haven’t really confirmed this in canon lol but I’ve been thinking about it since 2021.

Funnily, now that I have that diagnosis, my life is a lot more stable so like… I’m not currently the most like Lonan lol. But me at 16-19??? Absolutely him.

Unfortunately, I am currently HARRISON, which isn’t ideal but just like he’s a 21-year-old experiencing horrors I’m a 21-year-old experiencing horrors (which is why BB is sometimes painful to write cuz I’m like oooooh I’m feeling this… too much). To be fair, I’ve always said I’m the introverted version of Harrison (because I am lol our personality types are the same, not that I believe in those but since I was like 13 I’ve said this). But just like Lonan, Harrison has helped me now process some tough things this year that I’m not sure how else I would’ve survived. It’s important to me that I have fictional vessels to explore my own life with because it can help me identify problems & then learn to empathize with myself by empathizing with a character first.

Of course they’re also separate from me—they absolutely didn’t start as ME but as time goes on I start seeing myself in them particularly (Reeve sometimes too—our kindred spirits with processing toxic relationships <3). Maybe it’s because I am autistic, but I find it useful to understand my experiences via someone else. I love seeing the ways we can inform each other.

My TL;DR is I’m Harrison if he was Lonan so I guess I’m BB Harrison. Love this for me so much. But also add autism. Which is probably already there because: Lonan. LMAO and a dash of Reeve’s compartmentalization skills. And we have me!

Ok Personal Diary Moment but like, i cannot describe the feeling of. like. Okay. I Love. Being Happy. like yes i have bad days but as someone who experienced so much like emotional physical and sexual violence during my adolescence, it is so interesting and humbling to see how the trajectory of my life has changed ever since i have been given the privileges and the resources that allow me to live it the way i want. And Like Yeah, i have things that are chronically wrong with me. but it’s nice to wake up and not wish that i didn’t wake up. it’s nice to wake up and have like a passion to work towards, it’s nice to wake up and have things to look forward to, and community to lean back on, and people who i can call friends and found family. it’s not exactly something that’s like, euphoria per se. but it’s just the realization that this is how your brain is supposed to be behaving. this is how you’re supposed to be feeling. this is the life that you’re supposed to be living. nothing’s impossible, this is where you’re supposed to be right now. and just like taking a step back and taking some time to acknowledge that is so humbling and. i don’t know i’m really thankful. i think that 16 year old me would be really surprised by everything that i’ve become.
