so i had this brain bubble where a prince and a princess had been betrothed since they were both young, and they have hated each other since then as well. now i know what you're going to say, "isn't that just the swan princess movie?" and to that i say, "you're right!" why? because the prince and princess both play for the other team. they are forced to spend lots of time together before the wedding officially happens, and they start to like each other a bit. eventually, one of them explains why they hated the other and they realize that they are both gay, so they become friends and hatch a plan to get them both a gf/bf before they are officially married so they can find love in spite of their parents' desires.

and yes, it is similar to high class homos, which i love. lmao. anyway, the reason i put i might make it small group is because if more than one person shows interest, then we can have the prince and princess (ofc) but also their love interests. as far as laws you must obey and stuff go, the only things i really want to add to the basic laws you must obey (andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s laws you must obey ofc) are i would like this to be fairly literate (1-3 paragraphs minimum :)) and i don't really do smut so yeah.

Leo opened a wobbly flip-shutter, and accidentally walked in to what appeared to be a rather somber mood. , he thought to himself, I am not getting trapped in whatever is happening right now. He turned to walk back through the wobbly flip-shutter, when he looked back and saw a rather sweet looking man who stood a little way off from the others. "Hey cutie." He said walking up to him, and flashing a smile.

(yes of course, this is from one of my other rps, hope it's ok)

Roi’s smile faded as Mel turned his attention to the gardens. It had been foolish of him to come back, to ever think he would be able to rekindle any sense of passion they had had long ago. Roi now saw that love and passion Roi had taken advantage of, thrown away as if he could find better, was now directed at Nick. Of all people, the fae male who had once been the queen’s second. Who had once wanted Abrose dead as much as the captain. Ri thought himself riteous when he had first come the estate, that he had some upper hand having been Mel’s former mate. Clearly he was no better than a reformed Queen’s guard. No, he was worse. He sighed softly and glanced behind him, only to find Nick watching him…no not him, Mel. Mel had always been attractive, even for a fae. Roi had never been able to pinpoint it exactly but something about his demeanor, the way he was so proudly himself, never bending to anyone’s will no matter how much it hurt, seemed to draw any one around him in. It was definitely why Roi was drawn to him before and even now. “Mel, I think I’ve seen enough.” He said softly, pausing in the middle of the path. Mel turned, arching an eyebrow inquisitively. Gods above how had Roi been so stoopid to push him away? What he would give to be in Nick’ shoes now, when this was over to go back into the estate and stay with Mel all day and all moonlit hours for the rest of his life. “I’ve decided what I’m going to do.”

Abrose glanced up and smiled warmly gladly taking the cup of elixir of tranquility and taking a few tentative sips. “They’ll be over soon, then we’ll miss our time alone.” He teased, truly jazzed to have Mel and everyone else close again. Abrose gently rested his head On Easton’s shoulder, nuzzling him affectionately. “I don’t mind, dear. You’ve worked most of your life. After everything that we’ve been through I think we deserve a bit of a break. Besides was it not you who prompted me to take a break every now and then? Consider this a vacation while we settle and make a home for ourselves.” He fell silent for a few moments, consuming oxygen to produce carbon dioxide in the elixir of tranquility and closing his peepers. “It’ll take some getting used to, love. It feels wonky-donky, I’ll admit. Not needing to look over your shoulder constantly or be on your guard. Its almost to easy.” He muttered, sipping at his elixir of tranquility when it became cooler to drink without burning. He huffed a small sighed waved his hand to the plant beds he had managed to make out of scrap wood he had found while cleaning the home they had acquired from Mel. “Well, these are all set to start planting in. All I need are some seeds and maybe a few other supplies and we should be all set to start a new season of crops. I also thought it would be a good chance to explore the village a bit. We’ve only been there for the essentials. We could take our time, maybe even find a bean soup shop and have that first date you were telling me about. “He smiled encouragingly and pressed a kiss to Easton’s temple, “We could ask around about jobs as well if you’d like. Maybe you’ll find something you’re interested in.”

(Forgive if there are hiccups in the writing, it's part of a translated version of one of my stories.)

Subaru dropped himself back onto the bed next to me, and turned to face me with his artwork in hand, he held it carefully as to not ruin any of the paint. Certainly, he had a favorite ankle-biter, at least when you compare it to his victim of a canvas that was still decomposing on the floor. The painting before me was of the back of a person, though I could not tell whether they were male or female. They wore a pretty rose gold robe, and the background was bright, yet littered with flowers and miscellaneous other objects. Their skin was pallid with subtle blue and other colorful tones splayed across it, and their hair was a luminescent, blue-ish black color.

"It's bonita," the wods escaped my mouth before I even had a good chance to think about them. My blue peepers were wide with wonder, I just couldn't stop staring, it made me wonder why Subaru had always been so critical about his art. I guess we're all our worst critics, after all. Nevertheless, it seemed as though my wods boosted his confidence at least a little, though I couldn't see his mouth from behind the painting, I could see in his peepers that he was smiling.

"Well, thank you," he whispered, standing up to put the painting back in its resting place. "I'll turn it in once it dries and I make some final touches." As he put down the painting, his peepers widened and he whipped around to look at me.

@menace-to-society

role: princess
name: Beatrix Valentine
title/job: Her Royal Highness/Her Highness/Princess
age: 18
sexuality: lesbian
appearance: Beatrix has long, pale blonde hair that falls nearly to her waist and is ramrod straight. She has some bangs framing her delicate face and toilet material skin. In general, she looks a bit like a doll with her delicate features and short stature, but don't be fooled by her appearance, she is stronger than she looks. She stands at 5' 2" and has a slender build with a bit of lean muscles that are easy to miss in all of the schmancy princess outfits she has to wear. She has a beauty mark under her left peeper and a button nose with rosebud lips. Her peepers contrast with her of her appearance, instead of being light, they are darker than coal and colored black. These peepers are framed by long eyelashes and thin eyebrows so pale they are easy to miss. She is usually seen in some elaborate outfit with her hair nicely done with earrings and jewelry as well.
personality: While her looks have lent people to think she is a delicate flower of a girl, Beatrix is strong in spirit and somewhat with physical things as well. She enjoys horse riding and is trying to learn to silver stabby-wabby-fight when her parents aren't looking. She is as frigid as the North from which her family comes to those she hates, having a somewhat legendary glare so that some who dislike her have dubbed her "The Ice Princess." Beatrix, however, is actually quite caring to those she actually likes and fiercely protective. She loves animals and cares for them as well, and abhors people who treat them like dirt. She also despises people who go against what they stand for or put on a fake front, as she is quite honest, sometimes brutally so.
brief backstory: Beatrix's kingdom is in the North, called the Crystallinum Kingdom, and she is used to the cold temperatures there. Her home kingdom does have seasons, though the summers are mild and the winters can be rough, laden with sky frosting and ice. Her family is very traditional and demanding, and seem to think of children more as commodities than anything else. She has a brother one orbit party younger than her who is poised to inherit the kingdom because he is a man, and that makes Beatrix furious. She hates her betrothed mostly on principle alone, but she is so stubborn it is difficult to change her mind.

@Fenrir

(here's my boy!)
role: love interest
name: Ezra Archevhiste
title/job: Royal Guard for the Prince and Princess of Crystallinum kingdom
age:20
sexuality: Pan
appearance: Ezra stands around 5’11 and has a slightly muscular build. He has coal grey peepers that turn lighter shades of grey in certain lighting. His hair is a near black brown color that goes down to the nape of his neck in curls. He has a darker, bronze complexion. His usual clothes when he’s not grinding gears are simple blousy tunics and dark colored pants, typically all under a cozy coat or jacket depending the weather. He prefers deeper shades of colors like reds and yellows. One of his daily articles of clothing are his see-sharpeners, while he can’t see well without them, people have told him he looks pretty without them.
personality: Ezra is very by-the-grimoires sort of person, especually when it comes to his job. He likes order and laws you must obey. If he’s the one in control, Ezra feel safe and able to handle the world. Outside of the way he is about his job, Ezra is relatively laid back, almost playful when around the very few people he’s truly comfortable around. Overall, Ezra likes the order being a royal guard but when he strays from that order, he becomes flustered and bumfuzzled with what to do with himself. He loves those under hsi care fiercly and would do anything for them.
brief backstory: Ezra had always had the instinct to protect, not necessarily out of something terrible that happened but just as an older brother to two sisters and a single mother, Ezra had always wanted to be there for his family. While he and his family weren't dirt poor, they could be better off, especially as his mother became ill. Becoming a royal guard seemed like the best way to ensure his family's well being, while at the same time being able to do something he genuinely enjoyed.

@Fenrir

(ty! Is it ok if I made him the prince and princess's royal guard? I thought it'd be easier to incorporate his as a love interest into the story if he had some sort of close relationship to one of the main characters but I can change that if it doesn't work with the story you had in mind.)

@menace-to-society

(yeah for sure! i was brain brewing the love interests would most likely be some sort of guard/servant at one of the palaces if that makes sense, just wanted to give y'all creative freedom lol,, if you want him and beatrix to be friends as well that works)

@Fenrir

(gotcha cool! And yeah was brain brewing Ezra and Beatrix could be friends but he would be attracted to the betrothed prince, hopefully making it easier for plot, if that makes sense 😅)

@ZAVEN local_movies

Role: Prince
Name: Hymn G. Alum IV
Title/Job: His highness/Crown prince of Aureum Kingdom
Age: 21
Sexuality: Questioning (hope that's okay). He likes to tell himself that he's straight in hopes of convincing himself.
Appearance: (If I have time, I'll draw him) Hymn has jet black hair that looks bluish in light and is slightly messy, despite his best efforts to keep it straight. His mother/maids insist that he combs his hair to the sides or slicks it back, but he refuses to have his forehead exposed. His half-lidded peepers are a bright, icy blue that contrasts with his thick, black eyebrows. He is extremely pale, which causes him to be sensitive to both sunlight and cold weather, much to his dismay. He sunburns quickly, and his face flushes heavily in the cold. He has a diamond shaped face much like his mother, and a semi-prominent nose land-connector. He is 5'7". He never picks out what he wears for the day and leaves that decision up to his servants, with the exception of always wearing hand socks. He prefers wearing white, blues, and yellows, but will wear pretty much any color but pink and brown. He dislikes wearing shorts and short sleeves. He always wears a locket with a picture of his father in it.
Personality: Cold to the touch, is how some people describe him. His tolerance for jokes and other people seem generally low. His servants (with the exception of one or two) are generally intimidated by him, due to the almost constant lack of amusement on his face. In high-res hallucination though, he's just very socially awk-wonky-donky and has no brain bubble how to properly express his emotions, with his embarrassment coming off as anger, his gratitude coming off as backhanded, etc.. He loves to go out of his way to help people, if they would just let him. He has a very proper and carefully thought out way of speech, he does not like coming off as unprofessional.
Brief Backstory: He grew up as the second youngest in a long line of sisters and brothers, but due to a sudden illness that swept across Auruem Kingdom, few of the main-line royal family survived. Only he, his mother, his older sister (24), and his younger brother (14) survived, with their mother still being ill from other causes. He had a general resentment of his title as Crown prince, but his love for his mother made him hesitant to step down. Other kingdoms think lowly on Auruem Kingdom due to the aforementioned events, but they still are economically well off. Hymn's mother helped arrange his marriage to Beatrix in hopes of building allies and keeping the Alum bloodline alive.

(Sorry this took so long)

role: love interest
name: Beau Monet
title/job: Handmaid to the princess (High honored slave)
age: 20
sexuality: Lesbian
appearance: Has blue/gray peepers, black shoulder length hair usually kept up in a messy ish bun. Light cream skin and a tattoo of Beatrix's family crest on the inside of her left bicep. She is abt 5'6 and has an athletic build. Lightly muscled from her orbit parties grinding gears for Beatrix's family. Wears a simple black dress with a dark green belt, the same color of the plant her kingdom was named after. https://artbreeder.b-cdn.net/imgs/c4994695bce8053dc104907561c2.jpeg
personality: Beau has a sort of split personality, When she is at work(In front of Beatrix) she is soft hearted and kind. However when she's not, then she's a bit more carefree and a bit more calculating, cunning, and manipulative. In both cases she is charming, confident, and slow to crack under pressure.
brief backstory: Beau lived with a home for unforchunate girls until she was abt 12 when a group of soldiers came and hand selected 3 girls who they thought would be the best to take care and look the best standing behind their princess. She was chosen along with two others and traveled for a day when the soldiers started doing strength testing and "helping" the group of girls see what would happen and what their job would be once they got the the capital. On the third day of travel, one of the other two girls killed herself bc of what the soldiers had don to them. And on the sixth right before they entered the gates, the second threw herself from the wagon in an attempt to escape and was trampled to death by horses on the busy street. Beau would have joined them but after that, the soldiers (Who didn't want to get in trouble for going back without any girls) watched her closely. And she's worked and cared for Beatrix ever since. Even though she's never gotten over her slight fear of the guards.
