also now picturing him finding a love letter he wrote to nicky but it’s just signed as from “J” or maybe even a different name he went by at some point and being that he has only ever known himself as yusuf automatically jumps to the conclusion that there is Another Person - 2ta
joe: this 'j' man is the perfect rival. he draws just like me, he writes poetry just like me, and he seems to love nicolo deeply...... just like me.... if only i knew the identity of this scoundrel....
andy, staring directly into the camera while joe mutters to himself and shuffles through his own goddamn things:
love it! i’d like to pitch the addition that booker suggests joe forge this old painting done by an unknown artist that’s worth millions and joe is like “you want me to make a forgery of This?” “yeah, what, can you not do it?” “can i not- booker i painted the original!” - 2ta
joe: booker this is literally a painting of andy
booker:
booker: gonna be honest, i didnt recognize her without a bottle of vodka in her hand
would, realistically, copley know about joe & nicky? yes. do i find the concept of copley not knowing hillarious? yes. and even better yet: the guard assuming copley knows but he is clueless. copley gets them somewhere to stay on a mission for some reason and he gets EVERYONE their own room thinking “oh wont they all appreciate their own rooms since they seem to normally be living on top of each other” and maybe even leaves them a note saying such and later copley gets a confusing vaguely worded threat from andy about how they don’t tolerate homophobia. - 2ta
nicky looking down at the bedroom copley got for him like ‘what the FUCK am i supposed to do with this???’
just picturing they can’t take amnesiac joe to any popular museums bc there will inevitably be a painting of nicky that he will lose his mind over - 2ta
its one half 'I drew this??? I drew this????' baby artist awe and one half 'this cant be allowed. andromache his tits are out. andromache. andromache what about his tits.'

i’m truly loving the mental image of joe and nicky pining for each other but in slightly different flavors meanwhile andy and nile are having the time of their lives re-introducing joe to the modern wonders of the world. nile maybe going like “do you think we should do smth about that (the pining)” and andy’s like “nah…… let’s show joe a motorcycle” - 2ta
DEEPLY important that every time they talk theyre both extremely suspicious of each other. nickys like 'haha joe. .. . .do you remember that one time you slipped in fell in the nile? lol.' and joes internally like 'fuck that wasnt that long ago what if i tell him yes and he realizes that i remember i kissed him and it turns out the kiss was me just being embarrassing and he has to let me down for presumably a second time and it gets awkward' and on the outside hes like 'UHHHHHH yeah that sounds sorta familiar. lol.' and nicky internally is like 'fascinating bc joe told me on december 14th 1774 that he remembered falling into the nile that one time very vividly so EITHER yusuf is lying about remembering it bc it hasnt happened yet OR it did happen already for him and doesnt want me to know, either way hes trying to deceive me, interesting, rather interesting' and on the outside nicky is like 'cool :)'
ugh. ugh. andy and nicky posing as siblings. fuck. would they even have to FAKE ANYTHING. honestly they probably stumble into the “pretend to be siblings” idea bc someone genuinely mistakes them for siblings (and it’s such a nice change from the usual “husband/wife” assumption so they go with it)
also hm. now i want like. idk a victorian or regency era au which andy and nicky are disguised as siblings. maybe booker and joe are two of andy’s “devoted suitors” who she just won’t make a decision about who she’ll marry (because. she’s not going to marry either of them. thank you very much. but the people they’re conning don’t need to know that) so they just kinda, are tagging along with andy and booker. idk. i think there’s a lot of potential here and i would heavily like to see it explored. - 2ta
SHUTTTTTT UPPPPPP THE COURTING THING!!!! joe and booker take it EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY bc 1.) theyre competitive and 2.) joe’s a huge romantic and booker was married so they have Experience
(joe, Local Homosexual: I Will seduce andromache first and theres nothing you can do about it, booker)
and theyre all GAY so the DRAMA of it all is the most important thing. joe and andy go on a walk in the estate gardens and joe stops her by the fountain and reads her a love poem he wrote for her. ANDREA YOUR PALE GREEN EYES HAVE ENRAPTURED ME YOUR FINE DARK HAIR IS LIKE THE FINEST SPUN SILK YOUR CHEEKBONES ARE SCULPTED FROM THE FINEST PALEST MARBLE (he delivers said poem while leaning slightly to the left and making direct eye contact with nicky, who’s Escorting andy)
and andy’s like WELL monsieur al kaysani last time monsieur le livre was here he brought me a newborn lamb. (she doesnt mention that nicky’s been taking care of the lamb. he named it annabella and he lets it sleep in his bed) but the poem was ok. nicolo what did you think of my suitor’s poem
nicky, visibly and audibly tearing up: i think it sucked
THEYRE THE TALK OF THE NOBILITY AND LITERALLY NO ONE HAS CAUGHT ON AND THEY ALL LIVE FOR THE DRAMA
actually i DO have an explanation for the immortality
it
just
be
like
that
sometimes
-2ta
(alternatively: they’re just Built Different. full stop)
'thats just how it be sometimes'
