sorry im so insane over rhinedottir's teacup being white and gold while containing a dark blue liquid. Sorry im insane over her hiding her imperfect and 'darker' qualities within a light and inherently pleasing outer layer. Sorry I am insane over her masquerading as perfect when she's filled to the brim with nothing but imperfection

actually pretty speedy

so what ur saying is Fischl has two new moms who are hazards to society ✍️

IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES HER AS TRANS THOUGH LIKE MOOD. transfem fischl 🤝 transmasc bennet 🤝 transneu razor

but also the awkward family dinner with Rhinedottir + Alice and their other kids and Fischl's parents 😭

Alice has to physically restrain Rhinedottir from commiting numerous war crimes the entire time but she's just like oh that's just how she is :) isn't she just adorable :)

also Oz is her service animal / emotional support animal and ill die on this hill tyvm

n Fischl & Klee are best friends canon proves me right once again. Klee thinks she's really cool n looks up to her especially once she gets basically adopted by Alice & Rhinedottir. because now she has a cool older sister and she tells EVERYONE. everyone will appreciate her super cool sister or else🔪 - eros

oh my god chronically thinking of feral rhinedottir and unhinged Alice as her handler to make sure she doesn't commit mass murder

Bro i just want Fish to get the childhood she never got bc not to make this about myself I get so upset I didn't have the boy childhood sometimes, like bro i fucking hate gender roles but i WANTED that classic boy childhood man

So Rhine and Alice making Fischl the Princess she never got to be when she was little... I'm tearing up man. Rhine irl blocking everyone that makes fun of Fish or makes her uncomfortable or anything im <333

ALSO YES HI Oz is 100% the emotional support bird. I read Fischl's story on how she got her vision but it's been a while, I think he's a manifestation made by her vision??? Not too confident on that but either way he's her best friend! No matter what happens there's always Oz who will see her as Fischl, who will see her as a princess.

Meanwhile her parents don't understand why she wants to live out this fantasy, they gave her a good childhood, she should be grateful! But... it's not the childhood she wanted. It was good! But she just...wished it were different.

And that's what Rhine and Alice are giving her!

Klee is like "My sister is a princess!! She's so cool!!"

And fish acts all cool but every time someone calls her a princess or call her Fischl or any variation she just :> She thinks about it a lot

And then more and more people start doing it and soon it's a normal occurence and there's too many to think about-

and she's really The Prinsezzin of a faraway kingdom, one that Alice and Rhine are giving her. And her body, her personality, everything about Fischl that she once hated and ridiculed, are now something she can love.

Even if she's not "in-character" all the time, she's not ❏❏❏. She's still Fischl. She'll always be Fischl, because that's just who she is.

And even if some ridicule her and say she's not the Prinzessin, and even if Fischl sometimes thinks she's not a princess and she's just some stupid girl named ❏❏❏ with stupid fantasies of living a happy life, Alice and Rhine are there. Even if she doesn't think so, she'll always be a princess to them <3

Old concept art for what I had assumed Dorian to look like

Purely HCs, but considering his actions to hide the star when he morphed into Albedo, and Albedo mentioning his star being akin to pontil mark in glasswork, I imagined Rhine probably had a (pretty brutal) field day altering Dorian again and her again to fit her need of perfection ultimately giving up and throwing him to Durin. Thus, his aversion to the symbol. I don’t imagine him to look to dissimilar to Albedo honestly, but that stems from me believing in all of Rhine’s grand ego, she chose to base her ‘perfect’ creations off of herself (which is based on a much older and longer lore dump I made HAHA) and thus Dorian and Albedo were both made in her image.

So excited to write about my hc’s of rhine’s Very Normal Relationship with her family

（＾ν＾）

[pizzapasta23045]

Do you think Alberich family and Rhinedottir get along well? I always hc that they don’t like each other lmaooo

People that are too smart in different fields/ways often are at each other's neck.

Kaeya's father is political smart, I think, Rhine is science smart. I don't think they'd get along at all. Science smart means looking for the truth and knowledge at all times vs politics smart involves a whole lot of lying.

Also they are both two people who DESPERTATELY need some sort of psychiatric/psychological help. No offence, they just do.

They met in uni and hated each other. Had insane beef with each other for no reason at all. Slapped the fuck out of each other on multiple occasions. One time they were caught trying to fling each other off a window. No reason. Just a lot of anger.

They only agree to be civil after their kids start taking a liking to each other. Because at least both of them are Khaenri'ahn and from important families EVEN IF IT'S THAT DAMN ALBERICH/RHINEDOTTIR!

It's not like Kaeya's father has lots of alternatives. Dain is there but he hates Dain more than the idea of Rhine being his son's mother-in-law. Because Dain's a traitor, Rhine may be a person he fundamentally disagrees with but at least she's someone that cares about Khaneri'ah as much as him.

[apolunee]

Dain and Pierro are albedos honorary uncles since Rhine is his mom,bonus points if Rhine considers them almost family

dain in albedo’s collected miscellany is literally channelling his inner helicoptor parent so this hc is very amusing to think about LOL. i wonder if he approves of albedo’s spider eating habit too

i imagine that pierro is like one of those cool relatives you would see maybe once every three years or so, but he would always teach you fun things like chess or pottery or bomb defusing.

[oathofkaslana]

im clutching on so so tightly to the rhine wrinkles and grey hairs and glasses hc so so bad

[insectgf]

Silly hc

Rhine and Dottore know each other

they probably know OF each other, like at least dottore knows rhinedottir because pierro is a tattle tale. he looked at the doc who wants to create a perfect human and went „not another one of those guys….“ while having war flashbacks

rhine meets dottore and goes „so you’re too stupid to create anything other than a clone?“ and cataclysm 2.0 happens right there and then

[heavenlyprinciples]

my god

my canon divergencies for inazuma; including how i write both raiden and kokomi as more ruthless leaders (i.e. raiden agrees to traveler’s conditions bc they win the fight, kokomi as more dragonlike and unwavering against the shogun)

Ah fuck man i just remembered i rewrote a lot of inazuma (looks at sara on my roster) girl im gonna save you

my canon divergencies for dottore (just a smidge, i just miss webttore)

my thoughts on childe in regards to foul legacy, my thoughts on childe vs ajax vs tartaglia

my thoughts on abyss lumine + what i have for her + what i will not work w at the current moment

my copium signora lives theory that is totally canon btw i work at mhy shes coming back

W/e tf happened w kaeya’s lore if i dont like it im throwing it out

kunikuzushi vs scaramouche vs wanderer + the name i chose for him and why

thoughts on skirk and rhine

my opinions on the timeloop / teyvat is upside down theories

i have a bunch of small misc hcs?? vennessa is related to diluc, i subscribe to the lisa is cursed theory, adelaide is Nawt human,

I have forgotten a lot of things and also generally just think everyone knows my canon divergencies bc ive been writing them so long so 😭😭😭

i should make a doc for hcs tbh + reblog a hc meme. Or just ask me shit too

[naraven]

i fee so bad for leaving you all so here a quick skin hc for some of the synthetic beings of genshin! my brain reverted back to its albedo phase and ive always been a long time scara stan so i feel obligated to write a lil something for them :D

cw / describing skin in depth, nothing graphic but some mentions of violence and dismemberment

wc / 600

while being named "chalk prince," i don't think his skin would actually feel all that chalky.

mainly because i think rhinedottir would try not to? it would be weird for albedo to look "non-human" to me

that being said he probably doesn't have normal skin either

if he did, rhine where did you get that from-

i think he would always be room temperature

not like cold-blooded animals who always need a source but also not warm like humans are, in a sense

i think he would have the normal patterns on humans, like fingerprints and pores

the texture of his skin i think could go two ways:

kind of like normal skin but rough

not quite leathery, but the more you feel it the more it feels almost rubbery compared to normal flesh

or, he is just. smooth.

like model levels of good skin

(i'm so jealous i want my skin to look that clean all the time,,,)

i'm debating whether or not he would have body hair?

i'm sure to some extent he would but would he be able to grow more hair,,,?

this goes for scara too how would their bodies make for hair when they can't, y'know,,,

anyways.

he probably doesn't have bones, so if you cut his arm or leg off by accident i think he would just be like all white underneath

if hyv was allowed to show blood i think albedo would be one of the ones who wouldn't

when he gets a papercut do you think he just erodes,,,

since he is probably made of "chalk," i think when bathing or touching water he might turn more chalky

again, rhinedottir would probbaly do something about that, but i like chalk man

i wonder how he digests spiders in his stomach

I LOVE THE BALL JOINT THEORIES!!!!!

maybe ei went far enough to cover him with synthetic flesh, but i love love love the idea of scaramouche with ball joints so,,,

maybe when he is taken in by the people of tatarasuna he still has his "skin" on and throughout the centuries with the fatui he just kind of abandons it

maybe the synthetic skin starts to wear down because he's just a prototype and he hates seeing how he was nothing important so he has a worse quality of fake skin than the raiden shogun-

his fatui subordinates notice that their boss has the body and face of a doll but everyone is too scared to ask why

i think his synthetic flesh would be almost realistic, but of course nothing compared to the real shogun, with his rightful gnosis

kidding. he isn't all that interested in inazuma's affairs at the moment

the porcelain exoskeleton is probably pretty sturdy, i would think

probably almost reflective, polishes when he wants to (he's stinky like that)

he doesn't need anything to keep himself looking pretty he can do that even when covered in dirt and blood tbh

every once in a while dottore or sandrone has to oil parts of his joints that aren't keeping up with his body

after his three betrayals he abandons his human skin because he when he sees himself similar to them he feel disgusted,,,

i think after the archon quest though he would be more comfortable without any fake skin

because he isn't human, he doesn't need to be like them anymore

but while in the past it was because of his contempt for humans, now he feels the world better as air whistles through his knuckles, elbows, knees, neck, etc.

when he would gets hit hard enough that the porcelain breaks, he's probably hollow inside like actual dolls

before again maybe sandrone had to put him back together but now nahida probably helps him pick up the shards and put them back together as best they can

its not as well as it could be, but the material nahida uses are stronger and would probably last longer than whatever sandrone used

nahida and scara friendship real,,,

[monards]

Guys don’t think about how all of Rhines children obtained something she couldn’t. Don’t think about it

[apersonwholikeslotus]

This was inspired by me scrolling through the APH Germany tag at midnight while listening to the sound of music, also @ask19thcentury-doctorgilbert, it's not like their universe or anything I just really really like their family hc lol. 

Papa - Prussia 

Vater/Vati - Austria 

(Liechtenstein calls him Papa tho)

Mama - Hungary 

Gilbert calls Ludwig, Gnaschel, which means 'little child' in low Prussian.

Erzsébet calls Ludwig Kicsikém which means 'my little one' in Hungarian 

Roderick isn't big on 'terms of endearment' (outside of for Erzsébet and Liesl that is) so he has nicknames for Ludwig; the most notable one being 'Leo'.

(all the nicknames come from @ask19thcentury-doctorgilbert )

I originally wrote this and posted it on my Wattpad on October 3rd for German reunification but just now decided to move it over here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Vater and Mama invited me to their wedding" I told Papa, I had been holding onto the invitation waiting to tell him till last minute. It hadn't even been a year since the war so I doubted I would be allowed to go, but I was still going to ask. 

I swear he clenched his fork a little tighter, "Did they?" he tried not to show that he was angry about it. "They want us to come?" 

I thought of the invitation, it as politely as possible stated that Papa was not invited. Just me, and I wasn't sure how to tell him that. I looked back up "It's in June"

"We are not going" I heard him say, it was as serious as I ever heard him, well not as serious but it was still quite serious, this is just what I knew he would say. Ever since last year Papa has done his best to keep me away from Vater. I didn't matter if I wanted to see him or Mama, it's not allowed anymore because they're 'backstabbers'. For years both my fathers had done their best to get along in front of me, I knew they weren't the closest of friends, their relationship as brothers wasn't even that good... but I never knew it was this bad. 

I poked at my food a bit, I considered saying I wasn't hungry and going up to my room or to the library to read when... "I was thinking we could go to Sanssouci?" my attention snapped to the topic change, "In June, it's been a few years and you loved it there when you were little" 

"Papa I-..." I didn't really know what to say I partially knew it was just to try and keep me away from the wedding in Vienna, "That would be nice, but-" 

"We don't have to go to Sanssouci" He suddenly counteracted, cutting me off "We could go to Königsberg, or... somewhere new, you pick" 

I perked up a bit, "Can we go to Vienna?" I watched his eyes narrow a bit, he took a drink of his wine without breaking eye contact. 

"Friedrich," He said my name slowly sounding it out completely, "We are not going to the wedding" 

"You weren't even invited!" I blurt it out, I wasn't going to tell him he wasn't invited; assuming he wouldn't want to go anyway. His relationship with both Vater and Mama had always been shaky, he loved mama everyone knew he did there was barely any hiding it. I'm told he used to be very open about the crush, flirting with her, joking with Vater that it was only a matter of time before he stole her. Once my sister--cousin technically--Liesl was born though he stopped. This was in 1709 so a little less than a century before I was born, but I've been told he was extra somber at the christening. Quietly congratulating them on 'a healthy baby girl' and leaving as soon as it was over. 

They said that the three of them didn't talk for years after it.

Finally in 1815 when the Napoleonic wars had ended, and I was about two we went to Vienna for the summer; and two weeks after we arrived I officially went from being the Confederation of the Rhine, to The German Confederation. It also began Papa and Vati's split custody of me. Now of course then I was barely two so I didn't remember any of it. Papa stayed that summer, even though it was Vati and Mama's three months. None of them thought it was a good idea to leave me in a new environment with people that were relatively new. 

I went home afterwards, but when December came around we went back to Vienna and this time papa left me there. He stayed a few days to rest from his trip and threaten Vati with my well-being but then... it was a rough few days I'm told. Eventually though I got used to it, and within a few years I was constantly chattering about Papa, Vati, Mama, and my big sister Liesl. When I was eight and about to attend my first outing as the German Confederation, I was sat down a few days before hand 

"Friedrich..." I was sitting in one of the drawing rooms, the door was closed and Liesl had been sent off to practice piano on the other side of the house. "We love that you think of your Vati and Mama as well just that but-"

"But, because of reasons that you aren't old enough to understand" Vati cut papa off, from how they were talking it was quite obvious they had rehearsed this conversation. "It has certain... do you know what the word implication means?" 

I nodded a little, looking in between all three of my parents I felt like I was in trouble for some reason. Talks like this didn't happen unless you were. 

"I told them you would" mama said it, "you're a smart boy" she winked at me, I could tell the entire statement had been to try and calm me down. The rest of the conversation was just telling me that at the meeting I needed to call Vati and Mamma 'onkel Roderick and tante Erzí' and if I talked to anyone about Liesl she was my cousin not my sister. I didn't understand why at the time. It just seemed important so I promised to do so.

I know now all the reasons I couldn't refer to them as my parents in public but... Papa had went back to eating; refusing to look me in the eye. I had the right to... I mean I'm not a child anymore, "I'm going. Whether you want me to or not"

I had tried my absolute best to sound certain. I wasn't scared of my papa, what reason would I have to be scared of him? But I had never directly contradicted him like this, I tried not to it was easier that way. "Fine" I almost couldn't breathe when he said it: he was actually agreeing to what I wanted? "You can go, but you have to find your own way there and back" 

I tried not to be too excited, I assumed I would put my foot down and he would send me to my room... that he would get mad at me. That he was actually letting me go; I didn't expect that. "Thank you Papa! I'll find a way, don't worry" 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stepped onto the train platform, ten hours on a train might seem like a lot. But my fathers would constantly talk about how in the seventeen-hundreds before I was born it easily took a person twelve days to get from Berlin to Vienna. I walked to the luggage car, checking my pocket to make sure I still had my ticket to claim my bags. I occasionally turned to check for Vati, he said he would come to pick me up. I had hoped to get off the train and to the luggage car before other people, but I was too late and ended up in the back of a group waiting. I sighed, I wasn't too fond on waiting But I didn't have anywhere to imminently be either.

"Leo!" I heard someone call out my name, I turned around looking but didn't see anyone I recognized. I shrugged it off, Leo wasn't exactly an uncommon name they could have been yelling for someone else. "Friedrich Ludwig Von Beilschmidt!" 

Okay yeah no, whoever that is is looking for me; I turned back around scanning the crowd more thoroughly before I could even register a face though, 

"Leo!!" Liesl half threw herself into a hug, some people standing around took a step or so back. 

I smiled, accidentally lifting her off her feet as I picked her up. "Lise! How are you?" 

"I'm good how are you," she stopped her tone changing to a teasing one "baby brother?" 

I rolled my eyes, setting her down and pulling her close next to me to keep people from getting annoyed at the space we were taking up. "Where is Vati?" 

"Waiting back at the carriage;" I shook my head a little, it sounded like Vater to do that. I heard the number on my ticket called and quickly pushed to the front of the crowd, Liesl trailing right behind me. "What luggage do you have?" 

"Just the carpet bag" I held it up to show her "and my trunk" She nodded, as I handed my ticket to a porter who checked both numbers then told me to lead the way. The entire walk Liesl and I kept glancing at each other, neither of us wanting to break the awkward silence. The silence persisted all the way to the carriage; I handed Liesl my carpet bag then helped hoist the trunk onto the back and secure it. All I did was nod and quietly thank him before quickly getting in. 

"Papa it was so funny! Leo didn't say anything!" Liesl was laughing, supposedly recounting to awkward walk from the train to here. I sat down next to her trying not to shake my head too much at how funny she thought the ordeal was. 

"It was only because I think it's impolite to have a conversation where all people can't be included" I crossed my arms leaning back in the seat. I could almost hear Vati rolling his eyes, I smiled seeing him "Hallo Vati"

"Hallo Leo" he smiled back "How have you been?" 

I was quiet trying to figure out what to say, how do I communicate an entire year of not seeing him or mama or Liesl in one word? What did I say to show that I had missed them all more than anyone could imagine but had been so busy I could barely think about missing people. I finally gave up, knowing we had weeks to recount everything I had done over the past year and responded with, "For the most part, I've been well" 

He smiled, a sincere smile. "I'm glad to hear that," 

Vati looked tired, I assumed it was because of planning the wedding. They weren't exactly easy things to put together, especially not ones this big and important. I leaned back in the seat, i would never understand how traveling could make you so tired, it wasn't as if you were doing anything too tedious. I wanted to have a conversation with my family, but I also wasn't sure if I had to energy to string sentences together in any meaningful way. 

I glanced over to Liesl, she was almost bouncing in her seat, she kept glancing between vati and I an almost mischevious look on her face. "What's going on?" 

"Nothing!" Liesl snapped quickly, I little too quickly. She was hiding something, they both were that's for sure. "I can't just be excited that you're here?" 

"No, no, you can" Now isn't the time for defending myself or trying to pry secrets out of older sisters who are absolute masters at keeping them. Liesl was granted the knowledge of what I was getting for christmas every year as long as she swore to keep quiet: she got quite good at keeping secrets from me in particular that way. It seems like she knows everything before I do. 

I had never been so happy that the house wasn't too far from the train station, and that's saying a lot. I used to be so used to this trip it's almost embarrasing how much it wore me out this time. "Leisl if you could take my bag I can get--" 

"Nonsense." vati cut me off before the sentence could be finished, "I'll have someone else get your trunk in a minute" 

"Really, it's no-" he was out of the carriage and calling for someone before I could speak another word of protest, so I sighed watching Liesl shrug as she got out. This wasn't unusual here, papa was always much more 'do things yourself' whereas vati deemed it more convienant to hire someone to do things for him. I followed, I was anxious to see mama anyway, think of this just as a way to see her quicker. 

I expected her to be waiting for us, I really did. Everytime I went away for the three months I always got back and to vati and papa's amusement went running straight for her; mama always gave the best hugs so I wanted one from her first. I didn't run this time, I'm not five, eight, or even twelve anymore; I did however walk much quicker then vati and Liesl, I used the excuse of opening the door for them. 

I stepped into the front hall right after them, I couldn't help myself but start to call out "Mama! We're home!" only to be immediatly shushed by Adéla. 

I looked confused at the Bohemian woman, who just rolled her eyes. "She's sleeping," she shot a look at vati, "I thought this blbec would have told you that before you got here" 

"I didn't know if she was up yet or not Adéla, no need to get upset" he seemed annoyed, but kept his usual dignified tone. I was just confused, since when did mama take naps? Sure, I can use the wedding excuse when it comes to vati, but mama has been through much more stressful things and never shown a sign of it. 

"Will she be up soon?" I asked it quickly, partially to interupt what was sure to be a fight between Adéla and vati if it wasn't stopped. 

There was a general shrug, and a small laugh from vati, "Who knows really. She could be up in five minutes, but it could also be a couple hours. It's best to just let her sleep" 

I nodded a little, "If that's the case, would you mind if I went up to my room and rested for a bit?" 

"Of course not! You know where your room is," his tone changed to a joking one, "I promise we haven't touched anything in there since you left" 

I nodded, and quickly promised I would be up before dinner, before leaving to go upstairs. Usually I wouldn't deter from my path, even when I was a kid I preferred to just go straight to my room and not wander; everything interesting was on the bottom floor anyway. But for some reason I decided to look into the room next to my parents. Liesl had slept in there when she was small, but once I came to live here that part time it became my room; and then when I turned eight I was moved down the hall to a room opposite to my sister. In an out of ordinary circumstance, I was curious of what was in the room now. Maybe after I moved out the room was given back to Liesl? 

I opened the door trying to mentally will the hinges to stop screeching so they wouldn't wake mama up. I expected either Liesl's things, or a whole lot of dust but instead... the room was clean, spotless even. It wasn't furnished for a small child like it had been when I had moved out. But it didn't have any of Liesl's things either. There was a cradle tucked in one corner, a rocking chair in the other, shelves had been filled with toys, some new, some familiar from my own childhood; but all of them were meant for babies or very small children. 

I took a few steps more into the room, looking about for explanation. I was being just plain nosy now as I opened one of the drawers, of course it was filled with baby clothes what else would be in a nursery dresser? I shivered slightly as a breeze blew in from the open window, what looked to be brand new curtains billowing out, I went to close the window before something blew in the room. I must have not been paying enough attention because there was a small metal clink and I looked down to see a knocked over paint can the contents of it spilling onto the floor. Muttering something that would have gotten me in trouble with any of my parents, I picked it up right, now staring at the green paint that if not cleaned soon would stain the carpet. 

There were flowers painted already around the baseboards and windows sills, I recognized it as Liesl's art, vati and mama have the funniest stories of her when she was barely six following the Italy brothers around for weeks, all but begging them to teach her how to paint. Then she got good, and then mama and vati had to try really hard to not get upset when she started painting flowers on the walls of her bedroom without permission. I wonder if they know she is doing it in here... 

"Leo?" I stopped dead in my tracks, hearing my mothers voice behind me. 

I feel bad now, but as I was turning I didn't say hello or anything. I just went right into an explanation of what I had been doing: "Mama, I just wanted to see if Liesl had moved back in here or if it was still empty and I accidentally knocked over thi..." 

I stopped again as I was finally facing her, I was left speechless and simultaneously kicking myself for not realizing it the moment I stepped in this room. Part of me said to stop staring and say something, it's impolite to stare. I ignored that part though and continued to stare, she just smiled knowing why I was quiet. 

"Surprise" 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was hours later, we were sitting in the drawing room and I still couldn't believe it. eight months! That means I had barely been out of the house three months when this happened, maybe six by the time they figured it out. I couldn't decide if I was mad they hadn't told me in a letter, or happy that they had thought it important to wait until I was here in person. 

"We really didn't mean to hide it from you, Leo" vati said it for seemingly the hundredth time that night, "We just didn't know how to break the news" 

I sat next to mama on the couch across from the chair he was on, I haven't left her side since I found out. Liesl has been teasing me about it: "It's okay, really, I understand"

I repeated my response to the apology for the hundredth time, I was exhausted, but with this development I didn't think I would be able to sleep. Mama was leaned against me, she seemed just as if not more tired then I was. Dinner a couple hours prior had been an event that was for sure. Adéla kept trying to pick fights with me, vati says it's because she and Adelheid--Holy Rome--used to get in the stupidest fights, it was how they bonded. I personally didn't want to continue that tradition. 

It was quiet for a long moment, Liesl had gone upstairs to help get paint, that I spilled, out of the carpet and paint more flowers. Turns out she was given permission to paint on walls this time. Everyone else in the house had already gone to bed or wandered off to do who knows what, supposedly some of them went out for a drink. 

"So, the baby is due in a month?" I broke the silence with my question, as there was something else quite important happening in about a month. 

"Yes" I heard mama say, sitting up a little straighter, "Which is a problem as the wedding is also in a month" 

"What are you going to do?" It was a sincere question. There had to be some type of solution to the problem, 'problem', of the baby coming right before or even the day of the wedding. 

Vati almost laughed, "Pray the baby doesn't come on June eighth is all we can do" 

I didn't like that answer. It wasn't really an answer was the main problem with it. There was always something to be done besides praying: I tried telling myself it wasn't particularly my problem if the baby did decide to come on my parents wedding day, this threw a huge kink in the plan though. Plans needed to go the way they were planned, that's why plans exist! I like things to go how they are meant to, I always have. I have memories of being seven standing on train platform fretting about it being late, because obviously a two minute late train meant it either wasn't coming or our watches were slow and we had completely missed it. 

"Do you have any name suggestions, Leo?" Mama had sat up a bit, looking less half-asleep. "I'll accept anything but Helmut" 

"I suggested it once!" vati immediately protested, "Plus it's going to be another girl I know it" 

"No, it will be a boy" Mama counteracted him with absolute certainty. "We can't decide what to name him though" 

"What about Viktor?" I suggested it carefully, it was late and it was really the first name to come to mind, both my parents nodded obviously accepting the suggestion, "And on the off chance vati is right... Edith?" 

"Edith?" Mama repeated the name with serious consideration in her voice. "It isn't going to be a girl, obviously. But if the baby were to be I don't think I would mind Edith" 

vati seemed thrilled at the suggestion, "Edith! Why didn't we think of that earlier" 

I leaned over to mama whispering, "I think he's made a decision" she laughed watching him now ramble on about needing a middle name to go with Edith, and goodness we need to think about nicknames! Mama and I both had a hard time not laughing too hard, especially when Liesl came in inquiring what everyone was so excited about. 

As I sat around watching two out of my three parents, my sister, and thinking about the fact that I was soon to be a big brother, I did decide on one thing myself. 

It was a good first day home.

need to write up actual timeline w/ @medinventive​ adapted thanks to new canon. yes all hc. not actual canon.

right now, they’re currently engaged. not married yet. thanks to saria. engaged thanks to silence.

tl:dr; timeline:

- silence admired saria since before rhine was established ---- silence ends up with poster of saria for her room, what a nerd

- silence goes to rhine science fair, super nerd ---- saria and silence meet there, briefly, exchange a few ideas. ---- saria undercover tho, the shit doesn’t give her name

- silence goes to rhine , gets bullied into social drinking ---- saria saves drunk ! silence and helps her home but silence doesn’t remember saria ---- happens a few times ---- happens more than saria likes and promises to meet her sober one day ---- sometime before meeting drunk ! silence, saria learns about silence via parvis gloating about prized student. 

- saria and silence meet officially for the first time via parvis ---- they get close after the initial embarrassment on silence’s part. ---- they be dating already prior to when parvis points out saria’s fatigue

- on the day silence asks saria about ifrit, saria got them promise rings ---- no, she never gave them. the mood turned sour.

- it somehow found its way into silence’s labcoat while she was packing for RI

albedo is 5′10″ & his hair is thicker, having more volume & “floof.”  it tends to be unkempt, but he does sometimes pull it back into a ponytail, braid & all.

i hc that he was made in rhine’s image, looking much like she had post - cataclysm when she altered her physical appearance to hide from celestia & the archons, more so the former.

not only were chalk & meteorite used in his creation, but some of rhine’s dna as well, which carried part of her soul / essence & memories.  it’s why he doesn’t truly remember khaenri’ah since he was created after the fall, but he has some of her memories & is still trying to discern whether they’re his or hers. 

he always had theories about there being more subjects than just him in his master’s primordial human project & honestly wondered if any of them would seek him out.  of course, he knew there was the strong possibility of them being hostile because of him being the “perfect” albedo but he wanted to find peaceful resolutions to coexist rather than killing any of the others.  while one did die by his hand, i believe he made a deal with “subject two” / primordial to find a way to coexist & give them the chance to live a human life like they desired.  if he could live among humans, so could they.

PERSONALS DNI.

Hair longer than a lab coat?? Girl how long are these people’ hair yeah I’d cut that I wouldn’t deal with that shit

Fun to imagine that Alice doesn’t use actual magic for magic packing skills she’s just very good at organizing (to that end, messy rhinedottir and organized Alice sounds very funny)

They don’t have man eating trees in the city :(

WHO BRINGS A TEAPOT INTO A BASKET YOU HAVE MAGIC MAJR A THERMOS
