I need to know more of HWS Nyo Rome!
I do not have all figured out but I have some aus and thoughts of dearest Romilia.
I build Romulus based on who he us expected to be, not on who he actually is, I feel the same could be said for her, her having this violent tendencies she suppresses for the sake of being the perfect and idolized woman.
She was brought on to be a vestalis early on, and grew up with having to maintain a certain reputation for the sake of Rome, i like to think she is the oldest among them but does not get along nor cares for her younger priestess, the only reason she was lucky enough to maintain her role even into adulthood is due to her being Rome's representative.
I kinda want her to have a weird reaction to the itasisters, and not being immediately accepting of them or taking care of them because she does not want to waste away her life.
She wants to be free from her role as a priestess and wants to fuck ppl's asses but much like normal Romulus she feels like she has to be a certain way, either so or she can never be good enough for Rome.
But in modern au she is a professional boxer xx
Ro's favourite place to hang out!
Bathhouses for sure! They were a place of not only cleaning but also socializing in ancient Rome!!! I think he definitely did love to go there a lot in his youth (hanging around pretty and naked Men is a plus ofc)
In modern times, there is this old arena that has been repurposed to be a sort of Park, it's in circo massimo, aka the place games where usually held in ancient times and it's so huge and neat!!!
What would you say Juli's favorite flowers are? And/Or favorite meal/s if you can judge on that?
I am not too sure about his fav flowers, I would say narcissus because of the myth of a man who fell in love with himself but maybe that's more association
As of his fav meals he loves porchetta which is a way of cooking pork that it's really good and very common in Rome, it's also pretty ancient as well, I also think he would be fond of puls which is a kind of polenta (porridge) that was very common in ancient Rome
What's your favorite thing about Rome?
This is three am so pls forgive any nonsensical stuff, thanks for the question <3
I love the tragedy of his character a lot, how he is basically known as a urban legend or better a cautionary tale for others canonically, I love how altough everything he must have been trough he is still genuinely a very silly guy, I love how he is a crybaby so much, like go king cry your heart out, I love how he is so caring towards his (grand)children and genuinely wants the best for them, i love how he is so annoying its genuinely funny.
More specific to my version though, I just adore how manipulative and bitchy he can get while keeping his silly attitude on, I adore how he is immortal with a clear sense of his own mortality, he is a scheming man who has had way too many wills to count and no one really knew of that side of him.
But my actual favorite thing? Ah well the fact that he is a dilf ofc /j
What's your fave poly dinamics?
I do not have manyyy unfortunately because I don't have many poly ships!
I really like quartets where they are not all dating each others, like one of my fav poly ship is Ger/Per/Rome/Chu (Hetalia) and I generally like it because they are all so chaotic and such a bad fit for each others and yet there they are XP its such a fun dynamic, so if i were to say that would def be my fave.
What is your favourite food?
Hghfgf my fav food changes so quickly <\3 a big favorite of mine has always been filled squids (calamari ripieni in ita) which is pretty self explanatory but it's so good??? Especially the sauce 😍😍❤️❤️
As of sweet foods, I love panna cotta and gelo d'anguria, which is a Sicilian watermelon dessert that I swear to God I could die for. (idk if you can find it in stores/restaurants since the recipe tend to be shared more between family members <\3)
Do your friends know much about your family?
Why does juli only kiss like 3 dudes and Clov..... like i am rightvhere why not kiss m
Since unlike you I'm a good sibling, what's a flower you associate with Rome and Yao?
Okay first of all fuck off
Second of all: I would not say I associate Yao with a flower (except the peony but that's because a lot of ppl do so now I do as well) but I do associate him with the Ginkgo one of the oldest trees, which the leaf actually symbolizes longevity, with Yao being one of the oldest Ancients it just fits so well <3 his longevity being both a blessing and curse
For Julius it's the Chrysanthemum, because specifically in Italy it's associated with death, I did read that in other places it is a symbol of prosperity, festivity and joy which fits a lot with him
I am not too sure about a lot of info so I apologize if said anything wrong!
Silk road pair who's top/bottom/don't care
Okay I tend to go for Bottom Rome/Top Yao for my fanon versions
It is odd considering how this topic was handled specifically in ancient Rome but I love the irony and contradiction of it and I think it has a lot of potential
However, for content made by others I care about it a little less, since it's a rare pair and I think every artist and writer still does a beautiful job depicting their dynamic <3
