The Selection: Semi-Advanced Roleplay discussion

(ooooooooooooh)

"people like us are the ones cleaning that up" umm excuse yOU i'm gonna go cry in a corner abt leo now thanks

#2: Apart from official broadcasts, Nick has never addressed the king as "father". It's always "your majesty". Always.

again, the worst parents ever; that's so sad

jeez, so much angst.

#4: Jefferson has one sibling -- Carolina York Hopkins, his older sister who's a practicing lawyer at their father's firm. Because she's at work so often, her small army of children (Ricky, Lucy, Emma, Natalie, and Tommy) is watched over by their stay-at-home father, Brent. They live in Angeles as well, and Jefferson visits frequently -- weekly, if not more often.

(It should be noted that the kids love piggyback rides from Uncle Jeffy.)

(It should also be noted that Jefferson would actually strangle anyone else who dares to call him Jeffy.)

you wanna post first, or me?

um i have no inspiration for ash rn so if you don't mind, you please~

#5: Everyone expected the youngest York to go into law, like his father and sister, or medicine, like his mother (who was internationally recognized for being a key developer in a new, less invasive method of operating on the spinal cord). But no. Instead, Jefferson is handling public relations for this circus act. But at least he got a girlfriend out of it?

#8: When Nick does eat (usually prompted by the fussing of one of his guards), it seems he's only capable of eating junk food. two liter bottles of coke, three boxes of pop tarts, three McDonald's bacon clubhouse burgers, an entire tub of rocky road ice cream. Marco swears the day Nick voluntarily decides to eat a vegetable is the day King James becomes a nice man.

can you hear the sound
of marco crying in despair

Bryant would probably encourage this

bryant TOTALLY does and they just eat like 3 boxes of meat lovers pizza together while marco just watches helplessly

bryant is literally the smolest thing omg
but he loves marco <3

marco is basically an exasperated mother with two children who are very good at pretending to listen and then doing the e x ac t opposite of what he tells his children to do

that's a good way to explain their relationship

#9. Devious, scheming, sweet-talking politicians? Eirwen can deal with those, no problem. Small children? Nope. In fact, she's kind of lowkey highkey terrified of kids.

She would much rather be in the middle of a tense dinner discussing nuclear weapon agreements, than having to deal with anyone under the age of twelve.

#10: Nick just sorta assumed that "Polo" was Marco's last name for and entire year until Arthur gave him the updated roster of the guards at the palace and he discovered there was no one in the castle with the last name "Polo".

I bet Bryant thought the same thing

ow, my heart

4th selection headcanons
did you mean
why the king and queen are shitty parents

they are the shittiest parents ever.

#12: Victoria never gave up on her father, nor will she ever. Sure, both parents deserve to lose every part of their children (probably the whole country too), but Victoria still believes, after 17 years, that she can and will find the good, loving father she knows is buried deep inside.

@rea - I'm on vacation and really have no free time, you can just skip me

lmao true

about to add another name to the list ;))))

@shah or, y'know, not so straight ayy

#22: Valentina Tsoi is 5'2 (5'1.63 if we're to be exact so technically it rounds up to 5'2 okay?) but you wouldn't know because she will never be caught without wearing heels that add at least five inches worth of extra height.

#24 Westley is nearly an entire foot taller than Val when she's not wearing her ridiculously tall heels, but believes her to be almost his height.

#25: Hudson's life goal as of now has gone from break the record for fastest 400 of all time (he was .76 seconds off from breaking it that last olympics) to get jules drunk so he can convince her to "sing" 'dont go breaking my heart' because if he gets that on camera Jules will basically have no other choice but to be Hudson's slave for the rest of their lives.

#26: Jefferson's first encounter with Charity ends up going something like this:

"If you'll excuse me, Miss Hart—"
"Oh, dear me, I never thought I'd make it so big that Jefferson York knows my name..."
*forced smile* "It's just part of the job."
"Oh, you're too kind!"
No, it's literally part of my job.

#27: Nick can't, no, won't call his real mother, "mom", but he has no problem giving his guard that title, and who can blame him? Marco's middle name is practically maternal. "Marco Maternal Morales. We should get it trademarked, like m&m, except there's three ms" is definitely a 4 am revelation Bryant had during one of their late night shifts.

I can confirm that Bryant did this

FUCKIGN SPANK ME OH MY GOD

except me. I want to question it. what happened? The ship sank? Is this like the Queen's Gambit from Arrow??
