Omg that oc ask game sounds cool asf - here's my contribution (how I hate that I can't ask from my side blog 😭)
Berenice Targaryen x Alistair Dormaire
Cute, or cursed?
Wait why do I kind of love this pairing actually…
Gonna pretend that they’re alive at the same time for this lol
I think that Alistair and Berenice would have a very loving, tender relationship, and it would be very healing for the both of them, seeing as they have both lost people they love the most in their lives. Alistair would probably fall first. He had a thing for pretty, headstrong women (especially Targaryens - it kind of runs in the family at this point lol). He would NOT put up with Viserys II, that’s for sure (no Alistair, you cannot challenge every man who hits on your wife to a duel).
Alistair would be a very supportive husband, and he would make sure to always be there for her whenever she needs him or just wants someone to talk to. He protec and he attac.
Since Berenice is an insomniac, Alistair would often stay up with her, running his hands through her hair and across her skin as they lay together, talking to her and telling her stories and sometimes even singing her songs he learned as a child.
Alexandre: Justin's old teacher, he's still a teacher except he only teaches a few kids, he usually spends most of his time being the king's personal slave But he is still useful to the king so he didn't kill him
Berenice: The librarian of the castle in the Kingdom of shadows, she is calm and silent, she is quite vain and likes to look beautiful, she is the one who keeps Ginny's book in a safe place that only she and Ginny know Where is
Alice: Alice is the cook in Hanna's kingdom, she has little patience but loves animals. In her free time, she likes to go to the kingdom's forest, which has several animals and she loves feeding they and interacting with them.
For the OC + OC ask game - Berenice + Aemma (or whichever oc you think might get on with her :) )
THANKS! This one was super fun! LOL you made me realize I need more post-dance characters!! All of mine are pre-dance T.T
Berenice (b. 147) + Aemma (b. ~119)
oops. Let me say, if you need a villainous Aunt for your story, Aemma might be your gal~
So, if I'm reading correctly, Berenice is the daughter of Visenya Targaryen, who was the child of Daemon and Rhaenyra? Potentially, Aemma and Visenya are full blooded siblings! ((I'm purposefully leaving her parentage open to Daemon or Laenor because they didn't have DNA tests back then anyways lol)) It's hard to say how Aemma would feel about her siblings from Rhaenyra and Daemon, I could imagine her begrudgingly accepting them becuase they are all "true borns" unlike the Strong boys. I would totally see Aemma treating her "not terribly" but most likely disapprove of her life choices.
Aemma is huge into "all women should be mothers unless they're Septas/nuns" so Aemma would have pushed Visenya to have children to "get into heaven" or something strange???
Aemma seems aprox 30 years older than Berenice! And I haven't decided if Aemma survives the Dance, so lets pretend she does! So, probably Aemma is in her 40s-50s when Berenice is young, and be a relatively "cold" and "stern" figure. Aemma might have spent time with the Septas that trained Berenice? Because Aemma is heavily involved int he Faith? There's a chance if she couldn't bare children of her own she becomes a Septa in her old age, unless she marries into another noble house (potentially a lesser known one?) I do like imagining Aemma as the Lady of Harrenhal during her adult years~
Berenice + Lyn
OKAY! So, these two are also fun! Lyn was a child of noble birth that was lost to the families and raised in a Motherhouse as well. This Motherhouse Lyn grew up in is near The Neck and a cold, dank, place, specializing in preparing lower-born orphans for life of work and jobs and such. Idk what type of Motherhouse Berenice grew up in, but they could totally share fun stories of being raised by Septas LOL
Lyn was also born around 118AC, BUT I'm going to pretend that they are the same age for more fun~ ((In her verse, Lyn is the child of Tylan/Jason's brother and a noble woman from The Reach, and was lost while transporting the babe from Casterly Rock to The Uplands oOoOoops wound up in a Motherhouse raised with low-born orphans, until she was nearly 18.)) SO! We can totally play with them knowing each other in their youth at the same/close Motherhouses OR meeting more grown in court and realizing they are similar?
Lyn ALSO has a large, dark, birthmark across her face!! ((it's the plot reason why she was able to be found by her Lannister family)) so they could totally bond over their "non-traditional" beauty!
Played around with rough doodles of my twst OCs’ potential overblots!! But honestly I just did this for Yuusuke’s part at the end, so don’t take this too seriously design-wise 🥴
so I gave in and drew @rainwingmarvel7 's Alistair Dormaire with Berenice as per our earlier conversation... Alexa play Absolute Lithops Effect by the Mountain Goats
My insides are pink and raw
And it hurts me when I move my jaw
But I am taking tiny steps forward
And I feel sure that my wounds will heal
And I will bloom here in my room
With a little water and a little bit of sunlight
And a little bit of tender mercy, tender mercy
