3, 7, and 13 for the ask game u just reblogged!
3. name five things that are NOT going to happen next
they are not going to kiss :(
they're not going to have a calm conversation about it
kane will not understand his hang ups and be a real cool dude from here on out, ignoring all past scrutiny about his character
awen will not react respectfully about her trauma being used as a weapon
but alister is going to have an awful time during this "conversation"
7. what is a fun fact about a thing you need to research?
i've been looking up an awful lot about hot drinks in the late 1800s in the uk, and about 'marriage' as it was done during iron age and celtic periods in wales and the uk. this story is drawing very heavily on welsh stuff (one country is called Tilwyth and it's the homeland of the fair folk i mean cmon) but ye looking up celtic history and separating a the religious connotations for a lot of modern concepts like marriage and royalty and stuff has been really interesting.
i didn't explain a fun fact so here we go: it's thought in celtic communities that there were like ten forms of 'marriage' ranging from two people with equal assets forming a bond to 'you got raped and now you're married' which is not great. i'm sticking to the higher end of the list for now.
13. whatβs a song that fits the current mood you need?
they're about to have an argument right now so nothing fully fits, but i have songs that whenever they play i think of certain scenarios in this story. i briefly touched on kane hating ed sheeran in another post because whenever i heard shiver i kept imagining them dancing at a fancy gala, but now whenever i hear beloved by mumford & sons i think of how this is NOT going to have a happy ending for them.
are there any songs that would work well for an argument full of resentment and jealousy from someone who's locked into the situation to protect their kid towards someone who ran away from an awful home life? they're both jealous of how the other is living basically and there is no background music for this other than the benny hill theme for alister as he watches this tornado of poorly regulated emotions tear through someone's guest room.
I am having a fantastic time >:3
thank you for the ask @stormyrainyday <3 <3 <3 i always love answering these, i hope this wall of text isn't too overbearing but i'm at my pc for once and i type on a keyboard much faster than i type on my phone.
