Mael when called young: *gets annoyed because he'd been patronized for his age before, like many sylvari*

Mael when called old (by other sylvari): *gets annoyed because he's not a cranky old man*

He's a cranky man of an age not mentioned thank you very much

Anthony manifesting that his third born sibling's spouse be a pain in their ass but he manifested a little too hard because not only did his manifestation hit for Colin, the third son, but also Francesca the third daughter.

Anthony has only himself to blame for when Lady Whistledown and the Merry Rake are brought into the family. He'll never admit it though.

avowed has made me think more games should give you the option of making a main antagonist a potential ex...bonus points if you get to specify if you dated before or after said ex turned into a flaming skeleton

Being Oberyn's lover

Request: Yes or No

Pronouns: They/Them/Theirs, GN!Reader

~~~

Oberyn is an infamous man for several reasons, some of which include the rumors of his usage of poison during duels and an interest in the dark arts. Posion-laced swords and dark arts aside, one of the most notable things about him is his multitude of lovers. From men to women, nobles to brothel workers, Oberyn is no stranger to sex and hardly a stranger to love. He may have a wandering eye but his heart remains fiercely loyal to his lovers/paramours and his many daughters whom he deeply cares for despite their bastard status. 

As such, it is no surprise that you catch Oberyn's eye during one of his trips with Ellaria throughout Westeros. He needs little convincing to speak to you and is as smooth as butter when he begins flirting. While he enjoys giggling maidens or blushing lords, his interest spikes when you come off as indifferent to his charm. He is a Dornishman and Dornishmen love a challenge, especially when he notices your eyes linger on him for far too long to be uninterested. 

Of course, Oberyn mentions his interest to Ellaria, for she is essentially his wife and the mother of many of his daughters. Ellaria provides her approval and encouragement, even going as far as befriending you and acting as some sort of wingwoman to her lover. You quickly put together her involvement in Oberyn's plan to woo you and while it's unusual at first, you learn that it's not so odd in Dorne. A cat-and-mouse game ensues and Oberyn's interest becomes all the more clear to others.

Oberyn's main love languages are gift-giving and physical touch, although he'll provide every other love language known to mankind. Since Oberyn's interest extends past sex, you'll be properly courted by him and this will include countless lavish gifts. He is a prince, after all, and his wealth knows little bounds. You can expect a variety of gifts, from clothes to brooches and anything you can think of. You mention wanting something? Expect that very thing sitting in your room the next day. Oberyn is also very handsy with his lovers and always has a hand on them or has them sit on his lap. He's still a prince and gentleman, however, so he will keep his hands to himself until you are comfortable enough with him. Once he has that green light, expect to find his hand resting on your waist or back, and don't be surprised if it wanders.

 You nod along to the lord as he speaks, absentmindedly listening to the conversation about lands and such. None of it really interests you as you're the thirdborn in your family and the likelihood of you ever needing to know much of what he spoke of was slim. The conversation shifts onto his children as he recalls a funny story and then begins the prodding.

"I hear you remain unwed." The Lord hums thoughtfully and strokes his beard. "We've been searching for someone to wed my second eldest-"

"My Lord," A familiar voice greets from behind and sends a welcomed jolt up your spine, unable to contain the smile before it breaks out on your face. Oberyn steps up beside you and his lips curl up in a genuine smile for you, the palm of his hand pressing soothingly against your lower back and slowly creeping to wrap his fingers around your hip. He holds eye contact, even as he speaks to the man. "I'm afraid I'll have to steal this one from you, My Lord." He simply states and without waiting for a response, he sweeps you away from the sputtering lord. 

"Oberyn," You laugh softly and send an apologetic look over your shoulder right before Oberyn leads you fully out of the room. He spins around on his heel and cups your face, his warm skin pressing against yours. His eyes lack their typical sultriness or grumpiness, instead replaced with a fond look that makes you want to look away. He leans forward and kisses you gently. 

"How are you, dearest?" 

Once Oberyn manages to convince the head of your family, you find your belongings packed and ready for Dorne. Oberyn and Ellaria show great excitement and contentment over this, talking about all the things they wish to show you and the people they want you to meet. Dorne is a hot, desert and mountain-covered region but Sunspear is a gorgeous castle surrounded by the ocean and the shadow city. Oberyn's family is welcoming, if not a bit exhausted with him, but they're still warm and kind to you. Though Doran is semi-distant at first, his children are much friendlier and happy to get to know you. After Doran and his children, Ellaria introduces you to the Sand Snakes, Oberyn's countless daughters. Their reactions vary and some are more welcoming than others but all are accepting of their father's decision to take you as a serious lover.

While eager to show you his home, Oberyn first gets you acquainted with your new bedroom and the bed. Oberyn is a versatile lover, although he enjoys being the one in control most times depending on his mood. You can expect to spend a lot of time in bed with Oberyn, and sometimes even with Ellaria. Oberyn is a giver and he'll often have you pinned beneath him until you can take no longer before peppering you with kisses and cooing gentle words in your ear. 

Oberyn is a thoughtful and dutiful lover who ensures you'll never feel left behind or cast away. However, you must be fine with sharing him with others, and even if you find this difficult at times, Ellaria will provide soothing words of advice and comfort. Oberyn will ensure to push away any worries or insecurities and he'll even encourage you to seek out your own lovers, just as long as you always return to him. 

If you are a lady, you can surely expect to fall with child soon after arriving in Dorne. Ellaria, who basically becomes your sister, tends to you and helps you through the process of pregnancy and labor. Oberyn will grow protective during this time and you'll often find him resting his hand over the bump or speaking to it. He'll ensure you are being treated with the utmost care and by the very best. Whether son or daughter, Oberyn will love his child, and the Sand Snakes will be incredibly protective of their newest sibling. 

Oberyn is one of those lovers that still courts you well into the relationship. He continues providing gifts and trying to make you swoon all over just because he feels like it. Getting with Oberyn means having a thoughtful, open-minded lover, a kind sister, and countless deadly stepdaughters willing to fight in your honor if they have to.

Ramza has attempted to separate his history with his newfound home on Eitherys. Where he'd come from, the people, nobody (he thought) would know of, let alone understand. "Hyur" was a new term. "Eorzean" initially a bit of a mouthful, though he would later sheepishly admit that "Ivalician" is a much greater stumbling of syllables when woven together.

The culture was new, and yet familiar, all the same. Aether and machine, sometimes woven together far more intricately than he thought possible, and other times nary a glimmer of technology to be seen. It was both refreshing and daunting to compare the separation of his home world and the new. Yet, nobody truly seemed to mind his lack of information about the where he'd hailed from when asked. Especially since Ramza had always been keen to undercut any further pressing questions by simply inquiring more about the querent instead.

Despite no longer branded a heretic, the shadow of his past efforts always lingered behind him, and in doing so, his secrecy simply became part of his overall mystique. A mysterious hero from an unknown place. A Hyur from Eorzea.

Politics... Heavy as the burden may be, there will always be politics to maneuver past and through. Though, he would labor to never see another tyrant hiding behind the pale veneer of a smile, ever again.

What does your WoL think of their race, appearance-wise, and culturally/politically?

in the cersei/rhaegar au, would cersei favor her younger daughter for being jaime's, or would having a younger version of herself who's allowed to pursue masculine interests and express attraction for a brother make cersei so jealous that she goes back to being a boymom

honestly i think she would oscillate pretty rapidly between apathy and disgust. in my mind palace visenya ii targaryen (lannister) is the thirdborn child and both her sister and her brother are rhaegar’s for real. she has an unhealthy fixation on violence and a weird relationship to the concept of power, but what else is new for either of those families.i like the idea that despite being zero percent actually targaryen she inherits a little bit of that eau de gender fluidité from Rhaegar. She gets some sword training not because anyone’s a huge feminist, but because of her proximity to the prophecy and also because her uncle jaime thought it would be funny for like a week. Cersei, with her own gender troubles and binary way of thinking, recognizes herself in the other and can only feel disgust.

Aegon, her boy, the boy child she was groomed from birth to have and want, is going to save the world. She spends most of her time fixated on him and when her marriage falls apart, she spends most of her time competing with Rhaegar over him. I think Cersei being Cersei spends so much of her time and attention on her son that genuinely she does not think about her second daughter that often unless she’s in her direct line of sight and then it’s like “how did Jamie and I have an ugly child?” this pushes visenya ii and her uncle tyrion closer together as the family rejects which makes Cersei distrust her even more. the whole situation is a messy psychosexual enmeshment time bomb
