2405 words now and we're almost at the end. Kind of. We're nearing the last scene, at least.

Please murder Fintan.

Jeez, can't wait to learn more about this trauma, haha-

-

Most of my characters have at least some sexual trauma too. Garvin for sure is in the lead though. Like. Ooooh boy. So much.

I think after him is probably, uh... Aries? Or Gorōta...

Just comparing BB and AFCS characters right now, by the way.

But, uh, yeah. Garvin definitely wins out of my characters for sexual trauma. Dude has dealt with way too much of it. Dealt with it in some capacity for every part of his life, except for while he was with the pirates.

So...

Oops.

Sorry.

Something cute that I totally think the polycule would do (and probably should do) is make lists of triggers. Of course, none of the particularly want to admit to any triggers so it becomes more of a 'add to it as we go' kind of thing. But still. I feel like they totally would do that.

Some triggers are easier to figure out, like the AP carving, anyone could guess that being a trigger. So that goes down on the list pretty quickly.

But then there are ones that they don't find out until an unfortunate moment. So things like, 'don't walk into the bathroom while Garvin's showering' jusg get added on as they figure stuff out.

Did I use Garvin for both examples? Yes. Is it because I'm still on a Garvin train? Probably so. Do I think the principle stays the same for all of them though? Definitely.

If I ever get the chance, 1000% happening, lmao

-

In time :D

-

Yeahhhhh

I feel that

Big oops, sorry traumatized characters, it's how we show our love XD

-

Awww, I love that! They totally should and would! Adorable.

Also, I should hopefully be done with my post either tonight or tomorrow! I finished Sol and am halfway done with Ingall, then it's just Nico who I should get done relatively quickly

Question for Nico's part though, can I assume Garvin lets her down when they ask?

Definitely. For sure.

-

Exciting lol

-

Haha.. Yeah. Sorry everyone. Totally how we show love. Mhm.

-

I also totally think they all have different chores.

Ingall obviously cleans, but Nico and Revan help out where they can.

Garvin and Akira get to do the more craftmanship stuff, like if a shelf needs to be put together or a light needs to be changed or anything like that. Like, definitely feel like a light stopped working once for some random reason that no one could figure out and while Revan was calling an electrician, it comes back on and seconds later you see Garvin being like 'I fixed it!' And so they just never call electricians. Because chances are Garvin can fix it.

Akira and Nico do grocery shopping. For sure. Sometimes they bring someone else along too but it's usually them.

Revan starts out being the only one dealing with the bills. Until he makes a one-off complaint about them being higher than usually (fully knowing it's his own fault) and suddenly you got poverty mindset idiots running the house. At the peak of them sits Garvin, who gets incredibly antsy to the point of rationing meals and being strict about making sure that all of the food is gone before buying more and 'who messed with the thermostat?!?' and 'unless you literally cannot see, keep the lights off' and 'why are you keeping the water on, turn it offff' and thus Revan starts letting Garvin and Akira keep track of bills too.

For sure, yeah, you can assume that

I love that so much!

Akira and Garvin immediately becoming anxious idiots at the idea of dealing with poverty again as the others watch in worried confusion is so hilariously accurate XD

And Akira and Nico's grocery runs would honestly be so cute-

-

Just had to make sure, lol

Enjoy the post! :D

Sol being a chaotic idiot while also unknowingly becoming Ingall's first official friend with some hinted Nico angst

Fun! :)

It's so funny

Garvin would either demand to be taken with them for grocery shopping during poverty mindset or be giving very explicit directions on 'Buy the cheapest options for everything. And if you don't need it, don't buy it. Don't even look at it.'

Akira and Nico grocery shopping would be very adorable, I agree.

-

The post was amazing

I loved it

I'll probably get a reply out tomorrow lol

Some more poverty mindset quotes without context that Garvin would totally say. Oops. Enjoy

-

“Who touched the fucking thermostat?!?”

“If you’re going grocery shopping then there better not be a single fucking crumb in this fridge!”

“Sorry, nope, one plate a fucking day. Anything left will be eaten tomorrow as the given one plate and so on until there’s nothing left.”

“Not happening. We’re doing two minute showers or less. And I’m timing them, so don’t even think about taking longer.”

“Why’s the light on? We have perfectly good daylight to use!”

“Turn the fucking water off! You don’t need it on every second of washing shit!”

“Time to downsize the closet! Find everything you haven’t worn in the last three days and it’s going!”

“Do we have anything we don’t need that we could pawn off??”

“Hm? Oh, no. I’m good. I don’t need to shower. It’d be a waste of money. Just going to get dirty again anyways. So.”

“Oh, huh? Yeah, yeah, I’m pawning the sewing machine you got me. How much do you think the fabric is worth too? Ah, I’ll sell it anyway.”

“Remember, fucking bargain shop! If there’s a cheaper option, buy that! And if we don’t need it, then don’t buy it. Don’t even fucking look at it!”

“I don’t care if it's midnight! You turn the fucking light off! There’s a perfectly good street lamp right nearby that we can use the light from for free by opening a window!”

“Stop looking at the fucking spices! We don’t need them!”

“Tell Lacerta we ain’t getting him any fucking coffee, that shit ain’t cheap!”

“Turn the TV off! We don’t need to be watching shit right now!”

“Move it, Lacerta! I’m pawning the coffee machine and that’s fucking final!”

“Why do we have so many pots? We don’t need all these pots! Coco, come pick your favorites! I’m pawning the rest of them!”

“We cutting back on fucking everything! If we don’t need it, I don’t wanna see it!”

“Hm? Oh. Yeah. Pawning the phone you got me. Figured it’d be worth something.”

Lmao, Akira would just be like

"Calm the fuck down, Garvin, do you know who yer fuckin' talking to? I got it!"

And then proceed to steal anything that Nico so much as looks at

-

Glad you liked it! And sounds good, lmao

-

I love those, hilarious XD

Akira would be nodding along in agreement with everything while Ingall sits in the corner pulling his hair out with stress because "What do you mean I have to change my shower and cleaning schedule? I can't do that! I- I have to follow the schedule or you're going to die! They're going to come get us! If I mess it up, terrible things will happen! And I need my things, I don't have much, I swear, please don't take anything, I can't get rid of it, I need it! Look, I have money saved up! Take it, take all of it! Please!"

Yeah, Gall would not be having a great time, lol
