TARRILYM'S LINK-SAVING COMMENT CHAIN (because links are so dang easy to delete by accident and also I want to keep track of old, outdated links!)
please don't reply to this chain unless you're adding a link save
Tarrilym for Tammin
7/26/2017 - Tammin has, over time, become Tarri's favourite genespri and perhaps only actual friend outside of Athyn. Tammin is one of very few people Tarrilym trusts in any manner and enjoys time spent together, but he still does not feel at all at ease enough in more personal settings to have the slightest idea what to do about mutual romantic feelings and would rather pretend there is nothing going on in that regard for the moment. Everything is complicated and overwhelming.
Tammin for Tarrilym
7/26/2017 - Tammin has incredible respect for Tarrilym now. He used to outright hate him, for stealing him away and turning him his genespri without his full permission (as he wasn't entirely sure what it entailed when he agreed to it). Now, however, he has a lot of respect and a little bit of infatuation towards Tarri. Over time, Tammin became Tarrilym's head servant, and oversees all of the other genespri in the facility. He came from a position of leadership, so it wasn't terribly difficult at first, but the weight of fearing consequences from doing a poor job started to take a toll on Tammin's health and ability to even do his job. Which just caused a downward spiral. He is far mor personally involved with the lives of Tarri's genespri than Tarri is.
Tarrilym for Tammin:
(May 2019): Tarrilym took Tammin into his household, likely out of a bad situation, and made him his genespri. Tammin has since become Tarrilym's closest friend, romantic interest (if they're not already together? which they might be), and second-in-charge of his home. Tarrilym cares about him a lot.
Tarrilym for Kaanfas'm
(May 2019): Kaanfas'm is Tarrilym's mother's dorky other husband, and the father of Athyn. Tarrilym and Kaanfas'm's personalities are... rather contrasting, but Kaanfas'm is fine.
Tarrilym for Kimi
7/26/2017 - Tarrilym does not understand why a God of Time adopted her, or why his brother would decide to be in a relationship with her, but these are the facts of the matter. As such, Tarrilym intends to be as polite and respectful as he can manage, but is not particularly comfortable with associating with a human--and one he believes to be a source of the guilt that's led to Athyn's deteriorated health.
Kimi for Tarrilym
7/26/2017 - Kimi is terrified of Tarrilym, even if she knows he would never risk the consequences of hurting her. Directly. She can easily infer that Tarri blames her for Athyn's deteriorated health, and wishes he could see that she's been trying to counter that as much as she can manage. She really doesn't appreciate Tarri's methods of trying to get to Athyn- at one point trying to get him to eat by force. Even still, she wants very badly for things to work out with Tarri, and considers him to be family for as long as Athyn does.
Tarrilym for Athyn
7/26/2017 - (OUTDATED) Business partners, half-brothers, and dysfunctional friends. Tarrilym cares very much about his younger brother and his well-being, and is not afraid to speak up if he thinks he can help--much to Athyn's misfortune. It hurts Tarrilym to see Athyn's health deteriorating from guilt which Tarrilym (rather accurately) believes dating a human has induced. He wants to help his brother, but isn't sure how.
Athyn for Tarrilym
7/26/2017 - (OUTDATED) Business partners, half-brothers, and dysfunctional friends. Oh, the things Athyn could say about Tarrilym. Tarri is strongly opinionated, dangerous, and terrible with handling the emotions of others, and his concern over Athyn's state only makes things more strained. Athyn does care for his brother, and worries for him, and Tarrilym has been an inspiration to Athyn to help the residents of the world they live on, but things with Tarri are not easy...
man I need to organize this by character this is a mess
- Tarri at the very least should be out as gay to his family and Tammin
- Tammin should have known Tarri's mom is a bird because it was decided at some point a little bit back that Tarri has a bird form himself (because, I mean, he's a powerful god and celestial bird monsters are cute)
- being fine with gender and sexuality stuff should have come up long ago with Kimi and Athyn because Athyn would have told her when they were kids about his mom at some point because it was normal to him. I also don't even know that he's 100% straight
- Tarri should not be at all so awful or mentally manipulative with his servants. He took them in to ensure their safety, and while he is a snippy and scary person so reasonable to be afraid of, if he was actually that bad Athyn or Cae would take in everyone. He's also rich as frick and they'd have some pretty nice stuff.
- Tarri's hundreds of years old. He's got to have dated in the past at some point. He is still a private person and would not want to talk about his love life. He is also still high strung with very little ease relaxing around other people enough to form very personal connections. And he's not very touchy. So his love life is not the greatest.
- I also don't know what I want for Tarri and Kaanfa situations. In particular with how that played out. Tarri would very uncomfortable about it if we're keeping the crush thing (which I mean is fitting for godly families) and would not have wanted to interact for a while, buuuut it's been over a hundred years.
- Irrelevant to anything but I still want Tarri to have had a little ponytail for a while.
- Hel should really be older and shouldn't have been forced into being a genespri. She can still be a higher-ranking, calm-but-tired-of-people-and-her-job servant in the household.
- Honestly like Tarri should not have been outright forcing people to be his genespri or turning them drones?? He's a powerful, rich god who can provide some pretty nice stuff. He can get servants. He's fine. It's completely unnecessary.
- Honestly Tarri's mental manipulation is probably more used for the fact he deals in shady businesses and you can convince people not to ask questions/report things/whatever more easily if you just use magic.
- While Tarri still smiles a heckin' lot, it shouldn't be so dang constant and he shouldn't be so fricking INSISTENT on it.
- Athyn's resting expression should look irritated but not, like, fury. And he would smile sometimes, just not a lot.
- Cae is still married to Zez (whom I'm still keeping as hetero), Tarrilym is still in contact with Zez and goes by Tarrilym Kado. Tarrilym has baby horns under his hair.
- I don't actually know about the human sacrifice stuff?? I know demons and things are so oddly-specific but it's... I don't know that it's quite the right sort of oddly-specific. Zez and Tarri can still be obligate carnivores but I don't??? know??? Even having Cae be human-specific is freaking weird. She can have sacrifices, but human is ... so specific. Perhaps sapient beings-specific blah? I'm not sure if Zez would have that though I dunno about him
- Maybe Zez can have reproductive organs like some traditional vampire myths because people could offer them and so many people would be so disturbed. Also I think he should have the capacity of eating other things a carnivore can eat but need that for more magical reasons. (Same for Tarri with sapient blah if he gets that)
- I don't know I don't really want Tarri to be so ... evil. I feel like morally gray and willing to take drastic measures for causes suits his character more and he just in general was too extreme before. He was supposed to be a villain when he was made, but I can't imagine his family just being okay with that. So I dunno I just really want to tone Tarri down a lot and not villainize his difficulty with understanding emotions and overall finickiness. He can still be an opinionated asshole and not like humans, but ... yeah. He's inherently scary enough I don't know that it actually needs to be so dang extreme, especially because it starts falling into pretty uncomfortable areas since he was made back in my ableist edgelord days.
- Tarri and Athyn's genespri seriously should have known who Tarri and Athyn's parents are. I mean, their parents have got to visit and stuff.
- Cae/Athyn/Tarri genespri are only bound to follow spoken commands if it is truly intended as a binding order, and it does have to be right that very moment if not specified as such--they just need to work towards accomplishing it and will likely feel unrest until it's done. Same goes for summoning; they won't suddenly have to go to their master, but they will suddenly feel a very nagging sense that they really ought to.
- Tammin is a calm, reasonable being that would have been less Tarri's "henchman" and more friendly with Tarri's genespri and would likely know a lot of gossip and get complaints about Tarri or what-have-you. He definitely would not have been a source of fear among the genespri, even prior to the incident with Mochiko.
- I don't think Tarri would have forced Tammin to take care of Mochi?? He should have been way more knowledgeable of the fact Mochi and Tammin are natural enemies. Mochi still could have caused his injuries, but not because Tammin was forced to care for her.
- I played Kimi very strangely, like she knew nothing about Athyn even though they were together for a hundred years. That was silly. (Granted, she was a new character and we were children, but still.... I don't think she would have laughed so hard at him smiling especially??? She probably would have gotten a little sad, if anything)
- Would Athyn really have hidden Kimi from his parents for a hundred years (and if so... how have they not noticed anyway) AND would Athyn really have kept Kimi from seeing her family??? Like??? She gets to freakin' live, there's no reason they shouldn't get to know their moribund daughter is now alive and the immortal sweetheart of a deity.
- ALSO LIKE it seems like there should be some genespri that do like Tarri and Athyn, why would all of them hate someone who provided a home, nice things, and care for them. Even for Tarri's situation, there would certainly be people who share his opinions or see him as a busy headmaster that shouldn't be bothered but isn't bad.
- On the note of expressions, Tammin would be fairly aware that his smile is considerably creepy so would probably try to not smile very much to prevent scaring other genespri. He'd really only smile around Tarri or close friends.
- Requiring the matter of a sapient creature is still disturbing, but not quite so specific as the flesh of humans, and still allows for gross prejudices to take over.
- -
- Yeah no Tarri would not have forced Tammin to take care of Mochi. Tarri also would not have abandoned Mochi for all that time; he likes his pet and the only reason she wasn't interacted with was because that just never occurred in-roleplay and we got distracted with other people. Also Tarri would have gotten someone with EXPERIENCE in animal keeping to look after his animal. Like, why make your head servant do it when there'd be better-qualified people??
- YEAH they really ought to have known each other extremely well
- absolutely not; like... I don't know how he would have hung out with her so much as a child without them noticing. Also Cae should have fixed the aging problem long ago and it seems like Kimi and Athyn ought to be married by now ??
- Yeah I was thinking about that. They've really got to have people who actually like them. I already figured Taylor liked Athyn (and Jaylee of course likes him, they're friends), but yeah while servants can be bitter gossips there's really got to be a good number of people who aren't.
- And Athyn's genespri shouldn't be so unaccepting of Kimi like what the frick she's adorable
- YEEAAAhhhhh they really ought to be. Cae would have known for EONS that Iniquitous has physical manipulation abilities that can help the situation, and they surely would have been at least occasional acquaintances being that they have to occupy the same space and it also seems like Cae ought to have been entrusted with Ini's name. The one thing that can still be a recent addition is Now adopting Kimi
- Way more people should have had babies among the genespri
