OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I MIGHT WAIT FOR NEXT APP ROUND HONESTLY... because I'm tired

[servileness]

HELLO HI

whether you app this round, next round, or whenever, i'm excited for your interest!!

never in my wildest dreams would i have expected a three

[babysplice]

HELLO HELLO

well I don't know why you'd find this unexpected, she's just a wholesome girl with wholesome pastimes (in which she shows a wholesome level of interest)!

(also, what's UP slightly littler sis, just realized it was you trying to level the city last week or whenever, and honestly? mood.)

[servileness]

wholesome.... yes... that's exactly how i'd describe three

(NO NOT A MOOD clover is very sensitive about it lmfao

by which i mean please tell her it's a mood and she'll blow up on violet first month on retrospec to start off these good and lovely family times)

but i'm really excited!! i say again because i was wondering would anyone want to app in when i had clover try to destroy the city

but yeah, i'm down for hashing out any family details or dynamics you want with the au!

[babysplice]

omg she 100% will (like, as soon as she finds out it was Clover)

but yeah let's talk about the dynamic! Violet obviously isn't... living her life in a very Clover-approved (or anyone-approved) way at the moment, or ever, so that's probably a source of some friction.

I'm imagining the kind of relationship where, any time Clover's saying something Violet doesn't want to hear (either because it's critical of her or because it seems boring to her), she starts tuning her out within a few seconds (often accompanied by either starting to do something else, or just wandering off)?? Which is obviously Very Rude. But then, every once in a while, days/weeks/years later, she'll make an offhand reference to something Clover said or did in the midst of a tune-out, raising the question of whether she was secretly paying attention?? At the same time, she completely forgets anywhere from 10 to 40% of the things they discuss during perfectly friendly/interesting conversations.

[servileness]

violet why do you want clover to get mad so much

up until things got sour for the geteilts (that is, before jasmine and rose started really being at odds with each other), clover excused her sisters of a lot. her love is far from blind, but her love was definitely able to sweep things under a rug. it's why she's more open-minded than four is about... everything really

but yeah, clover is a definite nag and would nag violet about everything whether violet listened or not. she'd chase after violet if she wandered off before she finished speaking, too, lmao sorry.... rude meets rude.

pay more attention to everything in your life violet gosh!!

clover would also like chalk up any reference to something clover said as a fluke or some kind of weird coincidence from violet since her faith in humanity is.... never high. but clover does love violet very much, in a way four could never love any... sister or anyone.

[blacksong]

NO PRESSURE OR ANYTHING BUT LITERALLY JUST SEEING YOU WITH THREE HERE ON THIS WORKSHOP IS A DREAM COME TRUE!!!

like ara above me i am SO EXCITED for your interest, whether you app this round or next or whenever. i love what you have for three/violet tbh, there's a million things i could bounce off it already. speaking of ideas if you ever need/want to brainstorm family stuff i am of course down for that too!

BUT ALSO, HI.....

[babysplice]

ZEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yes, let's brainstorm!! about... stuff & things!!

[blacksong]

LET'S BRAINSTORM ABOUT ALL KINDS OF THINGS!!

rose probably has some kind of painting or sculpture violet made decorating her apartment tbh, she's very proud of it (and her sister). she definitely encouraged violet's interest in art when they were kids even if she Never Got It (and still doesn't) and didn't really know what to do with the junk she brought home half the time. after she got the flower in her eye (like november last year) she started ghosting her non-retrospec sisters since she didn't really know how to deal with explaining it to them, but once lina joined (april this year) she tried not to be so sparse. BASICALLY what i'm trying to get at is that violet may or may not know about the flower in her eye and regardless given her own taste in makeup really might just roll with it anyways?? LMFAO. ALSO if you do go with the camgirl/sugar baby thing rose is Very Concerned as far as the kind of people violet's dealing with since her own experience from sex work left her a bit... well. still she's not going to tell violet what she should or shouldn't do, she'd just try to keep an eye on her and encourage her to do things that..... aren't that.......

she also probably asked violet for a recommendation in hallucinogens Once and then never again tbh.

LMFAO I'M SO SORRY FOR THAT GIANT PARAGRAPH but i really wasn't kidding about the million ideas..............

[babysplice]

OMG THAT'S CUTE...
I feel like Violet probably gives her custom pieces once or twice a year that she explains are specifically tailored to Rose's tastes, but it's always completely unclear why she thought Rose would like them? And if Rose actually asks, she'll be like, "Oh, because it shares a sensibility with [X other thing]" (with X being anything from another art piece of Violet's to a book or movie or UN heritage site, but it definitely won't be anything Rose has ever mentioned liking), or "I used [Y pattern/technique/color scheme] that I know you love" (where Y is, again, something Rose will never be able to figure out when or how she gave the impression that she liked).

And maybe once or twice, it's turned out Rose actually DOES like X thing (or realizes she does after she looks it up), or Y pattern is modeled after the secondary motif on a pair of socks Rose wore a lot ten years ago. But most of the time, it's just straight-up impossible to figure out.

Also, Violet will have made NO comment / had any reaction whatsoever to Rose's eye flower (whether she saw it as an NPC or is first seeing it now), but privately she admires Rose's commitment to that look, and the eventual realization that it's not just an avant-garde fashion choice will shake her up at least as much as/more than the memory of Zero trying to kill her.

[blacksong]

the first time rose looked it up she realized it was something she really does like, but probably every time after that she just could NOT understand it and gave up on ever figuring it out again. she'll still at least try to look it up after violet explains but she's always like "yeah........ like i thought......... what the fuck"

TO BE FAIR TO VIOLET rose is VERY dedicated to making it seem like an avant-garde fashion statement and not a horrifying eye loss. ever since her hair turned white she's been dyeing it a bunch of different colors and combos since white makes it easy. she'll try to explain it to her as best she can... but tbh she'd probably be just as happy letting violet believe it's not real for as long as she can, oops.

on another tangent, rose has remembered a little bit about three and armisael in particular, and tbh she's probably thought at least offhand "violet would dig these dolls if this was some kind of horror movie or something and not actually real jesus"

[breakingvoice]

BOOP BOO DOO BOOP BOOP BOO DOO BOO DOO BOOP BOO

by which i mean hello!! i'm celene and i'm on the way out the door right now so i can't gush as appropriately as i'd like, but i love what you've come up with for Three already. whether you do this now or next round or whenever you're comfortable, i'm extremely into bringing in another doomed sister

you'd also get the option of built-in A2 CR if this can entice you further, i'm just saying

[floret]

OH IT'S totally me what's up
and i love what you've come up with so what about that

[breakingvoice]

LMAO FRICK i thought it might be but i didn't wanna be rude so i'll settle for embarrassed

i am the one who has been gotten rekt

[babysplice]

I'm sorry for this but Violet definitely shows up at Lina's (parents'??) place unannounced, eats/drinks stuff she finds in the fridge without asking, and takes naps on Lina's bed

But don't worry; she repays this kindness by literally never remembering Lina's birthday or being on time to anything, ever! She does, however, give her weirdly thoughtful gifts (at WILDLY varying price points) about three times every two years.

[breakingvoice]

lina's moving out to be with her live-in girlfriend extremely good friend jen bowen/yang rwby/burndownforwhat but that just means that violet can follow her

lina still loves her. she's used to how violet works. she always makes sure to make her bed and keeps leftovers in the fridge in case her sister comes over and needs a nap and a snack. and she definitely displays all the gifts prominently in her room or in the kitchen or wherever.

she always tries to make sure that violet leaves with, like, fresh fruit and vitamin d supplements

[usurpers]

I am not among the intoners but I did make a promise to collect the geteilts and I am very, very excited to see your interest as well :’)

[floret]

I am now imagining Eren stepping up to the Elite Four and his six-pokemon team is this global disaster of a family

[usurpers]

disaster families attract disaster children!!!!!!!!!

eren already knows jasmine for a really long time and he’s pretty close to clover now, only starting up with lina....... now i’d just need rose and you :’) eren is also rich boy who likes paying shit for really good friends and he will

legit

hound u to get a dignified job violet

[babysplice]

Wow So Thoughtful! She will happily accept his largesse while entirely ignoring all Tough Love or lifestyle criticisms! --In fact I feel like when he tries to get on her case about her MANY bad choices, she responds as though whatever he just said was actually a compliment or encouragement/affirmation, and it's never quite clear whether she misunderstood him, wasn't listening at all, or is just being a dick.

However she legit admires and respects his mech collection.

updates/housekeeping

[babysplice]

if you reply to this Three will tie your arms behind your back and add a bunch of scaffolding


-Came into the orphanage pretty young (maybe around 3 or 4?); has a few memories of her biological parents, but doesn't remember the circumstances of her separation from them and has no idea what became of them
-Was hospitalized for something or other for an extended period during her childhood, during which time she met and became friends with Ione (interscribed)
-Might have had a couple of near misses with adoption, but she never quite saw the point of parents, so she was just as glad that nothing ever worked out

[maskreant]

you can’t leave the thirsty sisters like this please app three

ITS NOT LIKE IM ALSO EXCITED OR ANYTHING

[babysplice]

Akiraaaaaaaaaa

Wanna do mushrooooooms

[selfloving]

BABY SISTER!!

if violet is camming or doing sugar baby work and jasmine knew, she's definitely tried to hook her up with a more respectable career.

but she's aware her attention span is ... something so that might have gotten in the way.

[babysplice]

jasmine pls ..... just hook her up with a more respectable sugar daddy???

Honestly at this point Violet figures either her art takes off or it doesn't... everyone's gotta die sometime....
