Shiv!!!!!! many thoughts about shiv, who i made on the fly and with some amount of carelessness and grew fond of anyway ok first of all, shiv’s appearance, style, and career choice were all based loosely on a character named kalinda from a shit lawyer drama i was exposed to as a teenager called the good wife . shiv literally did not exist before outta me onto you and i was working kinda fast, so i had to bullshit my way from somewhere to stay sane, and i had a devastating crush on kalinda back in the day (lmfao) so here we are. this is kalinda. the face match isn’t exact bc shiv’s face is so fuckin angular, and also kalinda’s outfit is about as formal as she got, and shiv is uh. stealing it for casual wear lol (with leather jacket too. v important) the rest was just me making it up as i went along, and i’m actually quite happy with most of it. i really love how intentional and in control shiv always wants to be, and i especially love her little hair thing Tucks a stray bit of hair behind her ear like she’s never done something without meaning to in her fucking life. like that is just extremely endearing to me idk why and i lovvvvved getting to repeat it later the fish bit was far and away my favorite though, as you could probably tell from the doodle. because it was cute, yes, but also because it was so intentional. i think shiv would be really good at having aquariums. fish are not low maintenance pets. esp for an aquarium with creatures like sea urchins (ha ha), you have to be so exact about the conditions and maintenance, and i think shiv is built for that shit. she’s meticulous and routine oriented and appreciates Aesthetics, and most importantly, she really likes her fish lol. and she does actually live in constant genuine fear of them dying if she moves, bc she likes them so much but also bc shiv is fucking L👏O👏N👏E👏L👏Y. this was sooooo so so fun to build with her, and it led eventually to my favorite line in the fic Shiv feels like she’s dying, and she doesn’t have a friend here to comfort her, a bartender to humor her, a lover to hold her, but she has Clove. Who is, apparently, whatever Shiv wants her to be. anyway self indulgent shit aside, i think shiv is ultimately just lonely and guarded and intense and maybe a little bit socially maladapted. i think at the beginning she truly did just feel slighted, and her impulse control lapsed in keeping it to herself, and she didn’t know how else to express her feelings being hurt lol. furthermore, i think for her to go down the route she went down, it took clove playing into it. clove was an active participant in this both bc clove will generally enable any bad behavior so long as it entertains her personally (loml), and bc i didn’t want shiv to come across as a villain. she’s got some Issues but i actually think she tried to let clove know her a little bit and that was probably uncomfortable for her, and if clove had shut that possessive shit down from the start, shiv probably would have tried to get to know her anyway. i also love clove getting steamrolled lmfao. part of shiv being the way she is was that i wanted clove to be a little bit outmatched. shiv wins a lot of conversations and clove is not used to that and that’s so incredibly funny to me. and i think shiv sensed that!!! i think she wanted clove to talk to her so badly because she knew she could give her a run for her money, and that appealed to her. i know i made them toxic but i really do think they have chemistry. and tbh i spent way more words than i intended to building their chemistry so atp if i don’t stand by it i should just delete the fic lmfao ANYWAY. i’ve rambled enough. i’m going to leave you with one more piece of self indulgent bullshit which is this daisy chain of descriptions for shiv that i giggled about neat and proper prim and pretty prim and proper
i need someone to write a long and detailed au of shiv roy working on cersei lannister’s senatorial campaign (r-ca) where they both make a big show of being powerful women working together #girlboss but can’t fully disguise that their relationship is in fact a power struggle because they refuse to interact with any other woman as an equal. and then they fuck.
I didn’t touch my HC about Shiv having something fucky going on with him (unfortunately my HC got bastardized and it took me a long time to figure out how exactly and why lmao), but I still have idea that he’s some third unknown entity, and then my brain connected two dots: what if he has “Devilman” deal going on with him???? I mean
Pick a character, what video game are you playing with them? ★Askathon★
shiv i immediately thought of a house of the dead arcade machine? i think hed enjoy feeling super badass, holding a plastic gun and defending me from zombies kurt kunkle its viral so i think kurt would want to play something like among us? im bad at it but id probably humour him for a few games eddie munson i wanna say some form of guitar hero or ddr; something to get him moving and jiving. id absolutely boogie down with him as well yesyes moon knight system steven: animal crossing or stardew valley. all day. every day. until that museum is complete (also we will get married in the game asap) marc: something to get him moving so im thinking something on a vr headset? maybe beat saber or fallout vr? jake: a horror game, think amnesia, dead space, silent hill 2. something to get the blood pumping and the heart racing thank you as always fen 💛💛
if you had told me you’d make the effort to go to therapy rather than come up with every excuse in the book every time i bring up something new to try, we would still be together today. but you ain’t ready to hear that.
i’m afraid if i ever seriously wrote shivter fics they would be inordinately toxic and unsatisfying because i view the drifter as quite the Fucking Loser compared to shiv . bur i cant help myself sometimes the blorbos call my name bonus wesley/shiv first encounter with shiv weremonkey hc below, tw for self harm
