orion: you didn't like reno?

kenzo: he's fine

orion: annoyingly nice. and still you came back here

kenzo: i'm ignoring you

orion: i'm diagnosing you

[vancilocs]

silva, grumbling: but i don't wanna go spy around angharad's. her people are freaky. and scary

kyoko, cozy in bed already: baby you're literally a vampire

silva: what's that got to do with anything

kyoko: well.

silva: do you think i'm freaky and scary

doomed yaoi time, kenzo and the ex and vikas and raven?

vikas forcibly undooms him and raven

also i changed kenzo's ex's name it's vince now. or vinnie. because it's funny when kenny and vinnie rhyme

Who initiates hugs?

Both pretty much, just a wandering hand around the waist leading into a hug

Vikas, Raven doesn't mind but he's just not that used to physical affection

Who wants to hold the hug longer?

Kenzo clings for a bit extra

Vikas will hang on until Raven starts wriggling like a cat

Who borrows the other one’s phone charger?

Kenzo has lost like a dozen chargers in his life, Vince always carries one

Both have their own, but Raven's might break so he needs to borrow one

Who loses their keys/wallet?

Also Kenzo, his brain is scrambled he can't help it

Neither, they're very strict about that

Who’s better with money?

They're both from low income backgrounds, but while it made Vince a bit stingy and careful about money, Kenzo tends to buy shit on impulse if he has extra to spend

Both are good, Raven is better because he has a lower income and a lot of it goes to his medication and cat so he's used to budgeting

Who tried to hide the relationship from their parents?

Neither ever told their parents even though they were together since they were 13, though they probably knew their sons were up to something. Nobody was even invited to their courthouse wedding

Neither is in contact with their parents, Raven doesn't share with his bandmates and Vikas doesn't share with Herah (Zephi a bit earlier though)

Who’s better in the kitchen?

Both are... okay, but are so used to microwave meals or takeout they rarely cook. Vince has a giant iced coffee for dinner like four days a week

Vikas, he's not a master chef but can make a proper dinner

Who needs/gets more sleep?

Kenzo would sleep 15 hours a day if he could but alas he has work. Vince is the polar opposite

Raven likes his sleep

Who’s more laid back and who’s more hard working?

Vince has never learned the concepts of moderation and relaxation, meanwhile Kenzo's favorite thing is to sit on his ass and do nothing except maybe demolish a bag of chips

Both are pretty hard working, but Raven also does a lot of sitting down, scrolling on phone and petting cat. It's for his health

Who has more empathy?

If either then Kenzo, Vince doesn't strike me as an empath

Vikas, Raven is not unemphatic either though

If they were to adopt a pet together, what kind of pet would it be?

Probably a medium size dog to have as company for jogging, but their schedules won't allow it

Raven already has his cat, if they could integrate a second one that would be fine

Who is more outgoing?

Vince likes making connections and networking, even if he's not the most extroverted guy there is. He can act the part. Kenzo gets tired 20 minutes in

Vikas definitely, he likes socializing

What is their love language?

Physical touch and quality time from both, some gifts and acts of service from Vince, neither does verbal affection

Physical touch on both sides, verbal affection and acts of service from Vikas, he holds back on giving gifts because he knows Raven would feel in debt and be annoyed. He will bring cat toys and treats then with the excuse that he's trying to bond

Are they holding any secrets from each other?

If anything then Kenzo not being open about how bad his mental health got and how badly he wanted to go back to the 'Rim

Nope, they never really did

Which one is more likely to cheat?

Vince has but with Kenzo after their breakup...

Neither

Which one first brings up the idea of having kids?

Not in the scopes for anyone

Who sleeptalks?

Kenzo on occasion

If either then Raven mumbles something incomprehensible in his Northern English accent

angharad: does your liege need a lot of protection?

duško: oh mostly i protect others from him

[vancilocs]

fenrir: not envious of what konoe got going on. imagine having a crush on your bodyguard

angharad: i had a crush on zhenya when i was like 12

fenrir: really?

angharad: you never crushed on duško?

fenrir: no ew that's my brother

[vancilocs]

ivana: no one wants to fuck you because you’re mean and strange orion: so? orion: orion: wait hold up this is awesome. so not because i'm ugly?

[vancilocs]

Even numbers for some girlies, angharad and bae and signe the swan wife and sword wife (i forgor their names and couldn’t find them aaa D: )

theyre hidden in the secret books the forbidden tomes (also known as my tags)

angharad's wife is called ira and signe's wife is none other than fenrir's sister helle

2) who says “I love you” more?

Angharad, she makes sure to say it often to the people she loves because who knows when they're gone

Helle says it a lot, especially when Signe tends to her

4) who swears more?

Ira was practically raised in the monster hunter group, she had a terribly foul mouth her mother tried to raise her out of. She's gotta be mindful at court and with the kid. Angharad has her vices too, what with being raised around Dáire...

Signe is horrible, she will scream at a piece of marble any day of the week

6) who forgets their anniversary?

Neither, Ira will make sure she makes it home in time even if she's somewhere out fighting

Helle sometimes, Signe always forgives because she does have a sword through her head that makes thinking hard sometimes

8) who keeps the other awake at night with their snoring?

Both are used to sleeping in some level of noise, and neither snores that much

Neither, even if Signe snores Helle will sleep through it

10) who usually makes dinner?

They have a whole kitchen staff, but sometimes Ira feels like cooking for them

Neither, Helle would but she's not allowed near the sharps and hots and Signe won't because the castle has a staff for that

12) who hogs the bathroom?

Angharad has a beauty routine

Signe has her beauty routine also

14) who usually starts/causes arguments between them?

They're both very straightforward, if they have something to say they will say it promptly and politely. No need to argue

Signe, if she's in a bitchy mood and misdirects a bit of that bitchiness towards Helle

16) who gives the other cringeworthy pet names?

Angie will tease Ira sometimes

Kind of both, in private

18) who finds it impossible to stay angry at the other for long?

Neither really, they just need to think about how Ira goes to hunt monsters again and they forget all grudges

Helle can't in general, Signe can for everyone else but her

20) who is more ‘physically passionate’? (hugs, kisses, or maybe more…)

Both are pretty equal, Angharad goes more for the handholding and kisses though

Signe drapes herself over Helle any day of the week

[vancilocs]

konoe: despite your difficulties with my husband, i on the other hand can be civil fenrir, dangerously close to putting his hand on konoe's shoulder: well that's nice of you, good to know we can- konoe: do not FUCKING touch me

[vancilocs]

kyoko: you can just admit you live here now

silva: nonsense.

kyoko: then whose pillow is this on my bed

silva: it's good for my neck leave it alone

1-10 for both frost and hart pioneers?

messica and mallet.....

what’s the last screenshot you’ve taken for your story?

Tumblr won't let me post them

describe your story in three words or less

Test Of Endurance

Continuous Family Chaos or alternatively God Damnit Wrench

describe (insert character here) in three words or less

Messica: Goodnatured Housemom

Mallet: Oopsie Daisy Astronaut

how did you choose the name of your story?

I started calling them Frosts around the middle of the legacy (they're named after Father Winter bc one of my heirs around that time was his kid) because the previous combined surname horrors started to become too much. Messica started as O'Ren which is a direct reference to O-Ren Ishii for absolutely no reason other than I happened to think of her when creating Messica

Hart is a lovely surname

how do you choose your characters’ names?

I have a fondness for names that aren't quite names, and I'm p sure Jessica from Love is blind was a relevant topic back then, her nickname was Messica and I just liked it. Heirs and sometimes their siblings tend to get pun names based on their parent's aspiration

I needed something to match his aspiration, I'm so sure he used to have a different name but I changed it to Mallet pretty early

how long have you been working on your story for?

Frost family tree was created on 22.3.2020 and last edited on 26.3.2023

I created the Hart family tree 15.4.2023 and Crescent died on 8.3.2025

whats the biggest risk you’ve taken with your story? did it pay off?

Maybe for the Frosts it was downloading the mod that allows accidental pregnancies, has sims react to them negatively sometimes, allows teen pregnancy etc. Added some zest

Killing Wrench maybe (but I knew I would bring him back eventually). Also maybe throwing Andromeda into the mix

what about your story are you proud of?

I still miss Kitty, Max and Lucis

The vampires! Wrench, Demön, Mirage and their little covens and companions were all icons and I liked how Wrench, Demön and Andromeda kept popping up throughout the years

what about your story are you looking to improve on?

I improved a lot during both of these, but its just screenshot skills that always need honing

is your story fully planned or are you still working things out? is there a definitive end?

I just floated through the first half of the Frost legacy, and never had an ending thought out, it just ended when Rooster finished his aspiration

I knew from pretty early on that there would be two final heirs and one would be abducted, later on I figured the final heir would die, but only when Crescent moved to Sulani to the same plot Mallet lived and died at I knew he would die by meteorite the same way his ancestor did

[vancilocs]

vince, on the phone with kenzo: YOU HAD ME CRYING IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING PIGS

[vancilocs]

mara: crushed glass in my tea?

mara: my beautiful basilisk, are you feeling well? this is the least effort you've put into killing me yet

[vancilocs]

duško could have spent a lifetime in gandr's personal space but also held simone's hand once and went "...nah"

[vancilocs]

fenrir: i'm not going and that's final

duško sneaking up behind him with a towel and gabapentin: wouldn't you reconsider my liege

[vancilocs]

arkadi is a couple of years younger than vasili -> the family splits apart and arkadi becomes head of the household and holdings at 18 -> goes crazy not long after -> vasili reconciles with him about 20 years later due to konoe's encouragement -> arkadi passes away in his 60's

love 1-10 for silva and kyoko aand general 1-10 for kenzo and the ex husband?

i went through so many names for him but i always gravitated back to vince or vinnie

Who said "I love you" first, and what was the situation?

Kyoko did, just one night when snuggling in bed about to fall asleep. Very casual but very sweet

What are their primary love languages?

Touch and quality time mainly, some verbal affection

Who uses the cheesy pick-up lines, or does corny gestures?

Silva strikes with the not court-appropriate pickup lines on occasion, Kyoko spoils him with the romantic gestures on occasion. Always catches him off guard

How often do they cuddle or engage in PDA?

They snuggle up when Silva's at their place, he might stay around or then cuddle her to sleep and then leave for his nightly stalking around the palace. They're conservative with PDA, might link arms or hold hands and give little kisses

Who initiates kisses? Where is their favorite spot to kiss each other?

Both do, and usually on the mouth. Silva does enjoy kissing on the neck and wrist though, it has to be said

What are their favorite things to do together?

Hang around and gossip, get tipsy (Silva can't really stomach food but drink he can have, though it gets to his head much faster), make out and get rowdy

Who is better at comforting the other? How do they usually comfort each other?

Neither needs much comfort, but Silva likes resting his head on Kyoko's lap. She messes with his hair and lets him vent or relax. When Kyoko needs support Silva holds her hand, asks if there's anything he could do and then does that. Both very quiet about needing and receiving comfort

Do they prefer verbal or physical affection?

Silva prefers physical, Kyoko likes both

What reminds them of each other?

Night and bats and black leather makes Kyoko think of Silva, night and silks and moths and stars make Silva think of Kyoko

What do they like best about each other?

Kyoko is so smart and well-spoken, it's a joy to watch her debate someone into the mud. She also has a fair bit of ruthlessness and bossiness which Silva especially enjoys. Kyoko also likes the edge Silva has, his street smarts and quick thinking, but also his loyalty and how he notices the smallest things (about her or otherwise)

--------

Who initiated the relationship, and how did they go about it?

They were teens (like 13) and out one night getting high and Vince said that he likes Kenzo and he went oh word. Vince asked if he liked him too and he said I guess so and then they made out

Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like?

I guess that was it. It was pretty cool

What was their first kiss like?

Clumsy and weird, both were children stoned off their asses but pretty sweet in the end

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

Pretty much, they might have kissed someone before (not properly) but otherwise they were each others' firsts in everything

What is their height difference? Age difference? Do either matter to them?

They were classmates so they're the same age and pretty much the same height as well, Vince is just slimmer

How do their personalities complement each other? How do they clash?

Both are tough and guarded, mistrustful to a degree and looking out for themselves. Underneath that however Kenzo is much softer and kinder, meanwhile Vince is more aggressive and confrontational

What is their relationship with each other's families like?

They both had a tumultuous home life, so it was common for them to sleep over at the others' place to avoid it for a bit. Kenzo's mom was pleasant enough to Vince, his sister Saya was a typical little sister too intimidated to talk to brother's friend. His dad doesn't even like his own children, he didn't like any of their friends either. Vince's mom didn't care about Kenzo coming and going but didn't bother getting to know him either.

Who takes the lead in social situations? How are they around each other's friends?

Vince tends to be the leader type who puts the charm on for outsiders and makes an effort to get to know them, but in company both knew they were both yappers. When it came to Vince's school and work friends, Kenzo felt he was so far out of the lawyer league that he didn't really get to connect

Who gets jealous easier?

All those high flying lawyer types and cocktail parties? Kenzo wasn't only jealous of other people, but of Vince being able to live in those spheres without crawling out of his skin

What are their parallels, whether in their personalities or their histories?

Rough home lives that raised tough and guarded men who have a hard time communicating their feelings, they were very intertwined from a pretty young age so they very much grew with, around and into each other (hence their separation was so painful and I don't think they ever truly let go of each other. Vince has kamikazed at least one of his relationships when Kenzo came to town)

kenzo: ugh gotta fix my jacket raven: what happened kenzo: someone stabbed me and now i got a hole in it raven: i'm sorry, you got stabbed? kenzo: don't derail
