Me & my fiancée 😌🥰

[asbestos-11]

Hi I'm back again!!!!

I'm haply to know that I'm not alone in the "ship has to be sometimes realistic or I die" boat. Though it's not like I can't consume unrealistic stuff. I just have to be in the mood for it.

I assume the daughter that looks like Aventurine would be the oldest, right? And then later come the other two. I would love to hear about what you came up with!!! (I would also like to draw them, but I don't think I'll do your vision justice...)

In comparison, the fan kids I made aren't all that fleshed out, haha. It's not that I've never thought of them having kids, but my brain feels like it has to build the relationship first before jumping into it, if that makes sense. Like I first have to think about how a ship got together, how the relationship progresses, what struggles they face, whether they would get married, whether they want kids, etc. Whatever I create has to stem from those conclusions. That might be weird, idk. But having someone to bounce ideas off of certainly helps!!!!

Back to the kids, for me I would envision them to have two daughters. They both would have blonde hair, but then the youngest later on dyes it similar to Ratio's, just a bit lighter. The oldest would have Ratio's eyes, and the youngest would have Aventurine's. When they're raising them it's sometimes a jumpscare when Aventurine sees long blonde hair.

I like to think that the eldest daughter eventually gets the fashion sense of her papa (flashy, reference to an animal, excessive amounts of jewelry, etc). Though I'm mostly thinking of those sunglasses Aventurine sometimes wears. They take shopping trips together. Though she'd be the type that just likes what looks good on her, even if it's not designer or whatever.

In contrast, the youngest unfortunately gets one good look at Stelle and it shapes her little brain forever. She looks at Ratio and tells him "I wanna be like them when I grow up!!!!" and it's just a picture of them after they finished dumpster diving. There is no hope to be had. He tries to sit her down and tells her that looting for trash is frowned upon in society and can get her sick. She starts crying.

(Somewhere in the distant universe, Stelle feels a profound sadness in the air. March and Dan Heng tell them they're crazy.)

As for jobs, I like to think one of them becomes a pastry chef, and the other a teacher. But I haven't decided who gets what. Or, like what level of complexity the job would be.

Also thank you for the kind words!!!! We are giggling and kicking our feet together!!!!! I was thinking of making it worse, but then decided against it. I wasn't sure if it was going to be a bit too much if i did.

I love this little universe we're making too!! YAAYYYY !!!

ok ok so here's their designs (always subject to change). fitia is the oldest amongst the three and is a phd holder in archeology and anthropology. she's currently busy with research into her family legacy, more specifically she's interested in the avgin (both for her sake and bcs she grew up with aven talking abt his clan). fitia is a mild mannered person with a sunny disposition and a meticulous approach to her work, which means that she's not very good at taking care of herself. one can either find her nose deep in work or passed out on the floor with several mugs of coffee near her. fun fact, her nickname fi is a play on phi often being used in maths.

selene is the middle child. she's a pro racer and is just about the most reckless person you could meet. an adrenaline junkie at heart, she often makes her family worry. selene is a rebellious one, being very independent even as a kid. she's an avid lover of all things vehicle related and when she's not busy crashing them, she's seen tinkering with bits and bobbles. selene is a yapper, something she inherited from both her parents, and often annoys her two quieter sisters with her talking (they don't mind tho).

cassea is the youngest and quietest of the bunch. she's currently studying geology and is running a blog where she talks about gems. she's more of a listener than a talker, but her tongue is sharp whenever it needs to be. she is quite sweet, but she has taken after ratio's blunt nature. if she's not studying or indulging in her work, she's often seen walking along beaches combing for rocks and pretty shells. cassea has a habit of picking up trinkets and gifting them to her family (selene has a whole lot on her keychain). cassea's name is (might be inaccurate) the romani version of the name keziah.

nooo i love ur two girls they sound so lovely. i like the 2nd one dyeing her hair like her dad's, she's so real for that!!! who wouldn't want to look as good as he does?

oooh do you think that whenever they go on their shopping sprees, that they both legit take hours because they take so long choosing good pieces? i can just imagine her sitting in front of the changing room and waiting for him to come out so they can nitpick every single thing wrong with the article. i can already tell that their closets are full of stuff.

the youngest is a lost cause fashion wise, but god do i love her already. has stelle influenced her in other aspects of her life or just the dumpster diving fashion? huhu please tell me more about both of them, i desperately need to know more!!!!

sorry anon it took me so long to answer, but i've been in ddne land + i have been feeling really shitty lately, but whatever. haha it seems you have transferred the angst onto me :,D

Death and wizard for you and Cass

Ty for the ask!

Death - Is you and/or your f/o easily scared? Do you/they like the thrill of it or do you/they avoid all things spooky?

I'm very easily scared, and don't seek out scary things bc of that. Cass is harder to scare, what with the whole Briarwoods thing. She doesn't necessarily seek out scary things, but doesn't avoid that kinda thing the same way I do.

Wizard - If you and your f/o were in Wizard101, what kind of wizards would you be? What would be your schools? What would be your home worlds? Don't be afraid to get detailed!

Well, as per usual I'd probably be ice! I feel like Cassandra would be either fire or life. I think she'd be a normal resident of Wizard City. Meanwhile, I/Xerneas would be one of the dears from Avalon, who went to Ravenwood to study!

[astral-express-family]

4, 7, and 8 for you and Cass please!

Ty for the ask! I don't know what categories you were thinking, so I'll do all of them!

Under the cut cause this'll be a little long ahshsjajaj

Pre-Relationship

4. Who felt romantic feelings first?

Xerneas! She fell for Cassandra first, though she didn't know what she was feeling at that point. She realized for certain what it was during the time Whitestone was under the Briarwood's control. Cass didn't realize until after the rebellion.

7. What would their lives be like they had never met?

Not as great, definitely! Cass'd have a lot harder of a time running Whitestone, since Xerneas helps her a lot with that, and Xerneas would be a lot moodier in general!

General

4. Were they each other's first anything (kiss, relationship, etc.)?

Yes, for both of them! Xerneas was too busy with the rebellion for much else, along with the fact that they were in love with Cass for most of it anyways, and the Brairwoods kept Cass pretty isolated so she didn't really have a chance to develop any relationships.

7. Who takes the lead in social situations?

Cass! Xerneas has social anxiety and Cassandra is running Whitestone, so she usually takes the lead.

8. Who gets jealous easier?

Cass again. Xerneas doesn't really get jealous, but Cass does get a little jealous sometimes.

Love

4. How often do they cuddle/engage in PDA?

Cuddling? Frequently! They will nap and cuddle whenever and wherever it's convenient and/or possible haha. PDA? Not frequently. It's not something either of them are super comfortable with, so they're relatively content with keeping it private.

7. What are their favorite things to do together?

Cuddle and silently read books together!

8. Who's better at comforting the other?

Xerneas! Neither of them are great at it, but fae has more practice with it due to Cass being a bit stunted due to her history with the Briarwoods.

Domestic Life

4. Do they have any pets?

Yup! Cass brought home a bird one day, they named it Yvel, after Xern's late twin.

7. Who kills the bugs in the house?

Cass will, if she finds one. If Xerneas finds one, fae usually relocates it outside haha.

8. How do they celebrate holidays?

They spend it wandering around Whitestone, and for bigger holidays they'll also invite Percy and the rest of Vox Machina over for dinner and celebrations!

[astral-express-family]

Wanted to return the favor. What does Percy think about your relationship with Cass?

Percy's fond of us! We knew each other when we were young, though we weren't close. I was always close to Cass, though, so Percy became fairly fond of me!

With how happy I make her, we get along just to make her happy <3

[astral-express-family]

You do you and Cass like to do on your days off?

Thanks for the ask, I really appreciate it!

We usually do one of two things. First is we'll usually have a lazy day, as she's busy a lot of the time and appreciates the time to just sit around and relax. On those days we'll usually spend most of the day sitting around, either reading books or cuddling in silence.

The other thing we usually do is just wander around Whitestone. She likes seeing how the town is thriving, and I like seeing her be proud of what she's doing. Either way, we'll usually cook dinner together in the evenings as well, and if Vox Machina isn't busy they'll sometimes drop by for dinner as well.

Ginger white cat and siamese for cassandra!

Ty for the ask!!

Ginger: Who is the most intelligent? Who is the sensible one? Or do you share one braincell?

Oh Cassandra has the braincell 99% of the time. I have it sometimes, but she's definitely the sensible one in the relationship. Sometimes I'll borrow the brain cell, but usually she has it.

White Cat: Are your f/o’s eyes particularly striking to you? In what way? Do they find themselves captivated by yours, in turn?

I love her eyes. Her eyes are so blue, and I love her. My eyes are a fairly dark brown, and she loves looking at them. :}

Siamese: Who is chattier/louder, you or your f/o?

Definitely me, lol. Cassandra is pretty soft-spoken, though very competent when she does speak.

[astral-express-family]

Cassandra de Rolo for the asks? :3c

- @sheepie-self-ships

Hiya Sheepie, ty for the ask!! (also @nicorobinssoulmate & @moondane-lovers, since you both specified Cass in your asks as well skdfjkdl)

- What made me like them

I was fixated on her and Percy's sibling dynamic, and then I realized "hey, she's kinda cute actually..."

- My favorite thing about them

She's competent and confident, despite everything she's been through in her life.

- Nicknames we have for each other

She call me Love, Dear, or Sugar! I call her Cassie or Darling!

- A headcanon of our relationship/friendship

Since Xerneas can shapeshift into a deer, they'll go on early morning rides through the forest when it's nice outside.

- My favorite image of them

a little soul-crushing given the context, but yeah this image kinda hits. I also love the one ss I have where she has a sword hehe

- Anything else!

Idk what to put here but uh that's my wife I love her sm she's so pretty

[astral-express-family]

I’m a bit late but congrats on your marriage!!! Cass loves you so much and is so grateful to be your wife, and Percy couldn’t have asked for a better sibling in law 💙

Aaaaaa ty anon that's so sweet 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
