How Do You Think The Twins (like All Of Them In SGE) Would Act In Real Life?

How do you think the twins (like all of them in SGE) would act in real life?

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your question correctly, so you can correct me if I'm wrong! I will take the ask to mean that you'd like to know how I think they would they adjust to our modern world, not necessarily them in a Modern AU. (Also, would you like me to include Castor and Pollux? I'm not sure if I'd have an immediate response for them, but I'll try to think of something, if you'd like me to.)

Sophie and Rise Rhian would probably embrace modern conveniences, and Rhian would likely exhibit more fear than Sophie would, in response to them, or he'd conceptualize things like electricity, for instance, as a just another form of sorcery. They would both appreciate modern cosmetics and technology, and Sophie would probably never want to return to old, backward ways when the future is so pristine and sanitary. Rhian, however, would mourn the great architectural feats of our past and our obsession with pragmatism and designs purely focused on utility. Unfortunately, I could see them being prone to believing absurd, medical/political conspiracy theories, and their germophobia becoming worse.

Agatha, Rafal, TCY Rhian, and Japeth would be more skeptical about modernity, at first, I think. Agatha would probably grow used to it, but continue to live by her old ways and values, in many cases. She might get into environmentalism, humanitarian causes, or antiwar efforts, etc. If either Rafal, Rhian, or Japeth saw a use or benefit to modern technology and ways of life, they would likely adapt, especially if it could get them something they desperately wanted. Rhian would probably use some form of broadcasting or social media frequently—and eventually get cancelled. I could also see Rafal or Japeth trying to radically change or impact the modern world if it provoked them. Japeth could go down the activism route (if it's in regards to his being gay), but I can't see him being that selfless about others' rights, others who have nothing to do with him, and I can't come up with any modern objects or activities that might appeal to him. Maybe, he'd even disavow modern technology, if it proved it weren't a means to getting Aric back. In addition, I could also see Rafal being incredibly rude in commanding voice-operated devices, and refusing to entertain the trivial, human-like gestures machines are programmed to recite, like greetings, and he would rarely use "please" and "thank you" in his commands. He'd have no patience for small talk or manufactured, repetitive, pleasantness because it's just a machine, and he'd be damned if a machine expected more respect from him than any human subordinate ever would! And, he'd get irrationally offended by certain output before he realized why things did what they were preprogrammed to do, such as give simple-minded answers that could appear to be an insult to his intelligence and common sense, as, a machine couldn't know his identity. After all, machines aren't capable of being hostile like Adela Sader was. So, eventually, he'd learn. Also, getting automated or human directions from the bodiless voices of intercom systems, at self-checkout lines, or on public transportation would probably infuriate him because he's so used to being the greatest authority at all times. Why abide the law when you can keep above it?

fern, maybe a little bit of space lmao

You sound so intelligent that I'm intimidated

Thanks. Though, when I write, it's usually more formal than what I'd say in real life. So, don't be intimidated, haha.

And relatedly—I will say, that, I am probably capable of saying a lot of nothing and wording it well enough, so I seem credible. Yet, I'm not an expert on nearly everything I mention, so don't take everything I say as the objective truth.

For example, I could claim:

***FALSE OUTDATED INFORMATION AHEAD***

Heliotropism can easily be disproven and I'm fain to do it, as, by common sense, you'd know that our egocentric view of the universe and ourselves is right, even if modern day scientists argue against geocentrism. Clearly, our perceptions contradict the model they posit, as, if you were to flatten yourself against a wall outside, you would most definitely see the neither the ground nor the building move. Instead, the sun, as it changes position throughout the day, revolves around us. Therefore, I (don't!) submit geocentrism as fact.

Yes, I finally did one of these things. The prompt was too intriguing to pass up, so thanks @spirit-of-the-hollow.

Not surprised that this quiz thinks I'm boring. Even I think I'm boring. Yet, I do think it's giving me more credit than I'm due. I don't believe in ghosts, but if there were a killer, I bet I'd freeze or run and hyperventilate (I used to have asthma) and then get caught...

(Also, hmm, should I get sword earrings like the ones in picrew? Then, I'd have a complete set of succession crisis pieces since I already have a small ring shaped like a crown, haha.)

If I forgot anyone and left you out, or you would like your tag removed, you can let me know.

Alright time for that uquiz I promised (I spent a lot of time on this so y'all better appreciate it). It's just assigning you a horror protagonist trope. Some are a little mean, but it's all in good fun :). Anyway use the little picrew, add your results and tag your mutuals!!

So here's the quiz and here's the picrew. and here's mine:

@justanotherenbyhere, @helinedmightbehere @namelessgodblr-blog @murderandcoffee @rapidlydecayingcorpse @crying-pan420 @sernhuh people I'll probably add later, and anyone else who wants to join!!

Rafal, i want to study you like a bug

Like you know those butterfly collections

But less destructive

Put you in a jar maybe

Study your face °^°

~ [☆]

Rafal: [he shuts his eyes for a moment and inhales] This is the exact codswallop I tell Rhian I have to deal with everyday. [He stares forbiddingly.] I will be as unambiguous as possible, so I don’t have to repeat myself. Listen, once, or you’ll rue your existence: I have no interest in indulging that desire of yours. Do not bother me. Study Marialena instead. Squander away your life on something else, for all I care.

[He stalks away, musing to himself.] Never thought I’d see the day Rhian was proven right. I should get a “Keep Out” sign to tap, or perhaps one better: “TRESPASSERS WILL BE KILLED”—wasting my breath on gawkers. Pah.

I think I'm speaking for all of us in saying that we're happy you're impatient since we got this great work of art out of it!

Let's see—my interpretation is that this is TLEA "Rafal" because of the cravat, how his hair seems better coiffed than usual, the black swan being unambiguously Evil, and how his hand is positioned like he's about to grab someone by the shoulders, like that one moment in which Sophie screams, and Rafal quips, "Glad to know I'm still scary" from behind.

Alternatively, I could interpret this Rafal as Fall Rafal attempting to intimidate Midas.

spooky

its up to interpretation which rafal this is

I agree with the anon that said they want to study Rafal

He is rather peculiar lmao

(Rafal do you hear that)

I agree with you and the anon.

⸻

Rafal: [wonderingly to himself] ...I don't resent that designation.

Rhian: No murderous ideation?

Rafal: [confirms,] No murderous ideation.

Rhian: For once then. You are peculiar.

Rafal: What does that mean from you?

Rhian: [to his audience] And there we have it. What exactly? An enigma? We'll never know.
