#i am that annoying fandom person who thinks poly is a solution

[glorfindel-of-imladris]

I have finally started creating my "friends" household (i.e., the household that doesn't really get played so much as they populate the neighborhood and become your primary Sims' friends) and it's funny how the creation of Ecthelion is basically me doing my best to create:

The richest, most posh-looking mf in this neighborhood;

Guy who is handsome in that out-of-your-league kind of way;

Intelligent, musically-inclined, perfectionist snob who is sure to give Erestor a run for his money (Erestor is only two out three of these things lmao).

I think that fits Ecthelion pretty well 🤭 (at least by how I write him anyway)

He and Glorfindel meet and catch up.

He is, of course, created to be Glorfindel's best friend. So far, so good! They're getting along!

To be clear, I've had this Glorestor household for years now and they are still as close as ever.

I'm glad I don't really see ship wars nowadays, because there used to be a time when it was Not Great™, and that's the reason why I didn't touch Ecthelion back then. That's sad though because fast forward to years later, I found I like Ecthelion a lot actually! It's just that I don't really like drama, so even with Ecthelion in the picture, I never have him as a third party. I know some people enjoy that and that is of course okay, just not really my thing personally.

Anyway, Ecthelion comes to visit again.

Okay, I say I don't like drama, but I did have a little giggle when Erestor joined the group. (Erestor has a different set of friends, so I wasn't really planning to have him be friends with Ecthelion, but welp—)

They're formal at first... but I think that worked out well given their personalities. I thiiiiiink (because it's been a while since I last checked Erestor's profile) Ecthelion and Erestor share the genius + perfectionist traits in my game, and I think they're both formal types. Headcanons about them really are a lot alike. Makes you wonder about those ship wars again because they're practically the same person LOL

Okay, so Glorfindel left.

Erestor shifted closer to Ecthelion and I was like HUH and then OH NOOO now I ship them LMAO this is why I end up accidentally taking Ecthelion not as part of a love triangle but part of a triad LMAO GLORFINDEL COME BACK—

(anyway in case you're wondering, Glorfindel left to cook 😂)

LOL look at him, he's just a happy guppy SIR I AM HAVING A CRISIS BECAUSE YOUR BOYFRIENDS—

[princesses-and-bitchcraft]

i want to ask you a ship too but 1) im not sure what you ship, and 2) every ship im invested in and would ask about is like,,, garbage fire and definitely not as sweet and fluffy as these prompts

soo i checked your ao3 and you have like 2 missy/clara fics and i'd love to see you try to answer these prompts for them adhsfkjshgkj good luck

(also now that ive seen your ao3 name, i think ive seen you in my kudos? maybe? i might be wrong. NO im not wrong! i checked. you have read at least one of my fics. i didnt know that was you)

Akdjghsjgkfhd yeah ever since I've been trying to be more active on ao3 leaving people comments and stuff I've been running into a lot of cases of like. Not mistaken identity per se but a lot of cases of "oh shit I did not know that was you!!!". I'm a bit of a mess about introducing myself to people, in that I mostly Do Not.

Anyways I am in fact a rampant multishipper in pretty much every fandom I ever Consume, first and foremost. Sure I can have Preferences but I easily put that aside. I do not remotely understand ship wars. What the heck people. Two solutions: start poly shipping (✔️) and start multishipping (✔️).

This should be fun though. I do really really love thinking about these two. I don't know what it was that flipped that particular switch in my head but I'm obsessed.

Who is most affectionate: Missy, but specifically in an annoying way. Affection as a way to get a rise out of someone. Weaponized affection, as it were. Especially in inappropriate situations.

Who initiates hand holding: Clara, but also in a vaguely weaponized manner: if Clara is holding Missy's hand, Missy has one less hand with which to Cause Problems. Or so she says.

Who worries more about the other one: also Clara because hello???? Missy is literally always getting into Something. Clara has to leave class early because unit calls to tell her they've got her definitely NOT girlfriend in a prison cell again and would you come and Deal with her or do we need to get the Doctor involved? Missy shows up out of nowhere covered in blood on more occasions than Clara wants to think about. Etc etc etc.

Who is more likely to ask for help: NEITHER OF THEM OH MY GOD!!!! They both will go to increasingly desperate measure of escalating whatever situation is causing an issue to avoid it. They've probably both almost died at least once because of it. The Doctor shows up unexpectedly and hauls them both into the TARDIS once when straits are particularly dire. None of them want to talk about that.

Who is always losing the keys: Clara, but only because Missy hides them.

Who leaves littles notes: Missy, but again, they are usually somehow inappropriate in either content, presentation, or both.

Who can't sleep without the other one: Missy!!!!! I have strong feelings that I will not elaborate on. (Not for any particular reason, I'm just Bad At Words. Depsite. Being a writer.)

Who is more likely to propose: I think you could have a scenario where they have been cohabitating for like a fucking decade or something and STILL neither of them will admit that the other one means anything to them so. Definitely neither of them.

Who introduced the other to their family first: this question is sort of inapplicable. Missy's only "family" is sort of just. The Doctor. And Clara's probably had enough trouble to last a lifetime from the ill-fated introduction or the Doctor to hers. But the idea of Clara somehow being in a situation where she has to introduce and Explain Missy to her family is definitely kind of hilarious.

Who plays with the other's hair: I don't have any kind of opinion here really. Personally I hate having my hair played with, so I mostly just don't think about it lol

Who makes sure the other eats: I think they're both relatively okay at taking care of themselves generally, at least in this type of sense. (Less so in the sense of like. Not throwing themselves into life threatening situations. They're both very bad at that.) So they probably both take turns when the other one is having a Hard Time for whatever reason.

Who is more likely to stand up for the other: I think Clara probably has a chip on her shoulder about trying to sort of Prove Herself to Missy at least for a while and will throw herself into all kinds of unnecessary situations to stand up for her definitely-not-a-girlfriend-I-barely-even-like-her. Conversely, Missy will stand to the side laughing a Clara's misfortunes, perhaps even Actively Antagonizing her along with whoever else, at least until there's an Actual Threat that needs neutralizing. It will be neutralized swiftly and without prejudice.

Who is more likely to prepare a surprise for the other: again, Missy, but inappropriately.

Who makes the other pinky promise certain things: Clara makes Missy pinky promise not kill her on the reg 🤣🤣🤣

Who puts a blanket over the other when they fall asleep on the couch: idk, either/or? Both? I'll take it or leave it I don't care lol
