Remin

[lelehtidazzio]

Remin is really near his breaking point.  Three years?!  He hasn't had sex in three years?!  That's like 300 years to a sex addict (yes, I've diagnosed Remin as being a sex addict)!  Orinakin offering Bade to him is like dangling meat in front of a hungry lion.  What was he thinking?! 

...He should have offered me instead.....

Hey Remin...I'm free on Friday night and every evening after 5pm.

[Matthew Haldeman-Time]

Remin is really near his breaking point.  Three years?!  He hasn't had sex in three years?!

He should just marry a bela and get it over with.  I vote for Tepeni.

Oooh, wait!  Vade.  Remin should totally make out with Vade! Why didn't anyone offer up Vade to take the edge off? 

And I second that vote. 

Tepeni...

All in favour, say "aye!"

It'd be good if we could find someone good enough to put on a Remin banner... A hot man with long blonde hair and a sexy chest and... *mind wanders*

I love Remin's temper because when he's mad his lectures are AMAZING--Ch.27: “These rustic witticisms you pick up from country farmers are quaint,” Remin snapped, which amused Kudorin, because no one spoke in more similes and metaphors than Anoremin A Hiti, “but please take time away from them to explain to me why you would enforce upon a, as you say, starved cat enough manual labor to kill a horse?!”

Yeah.  Mmm.  Remin's comebacks are just gut-busting.

Yeeesss!!!  I love the way he speaks.  Some of the stuff he says makes no sense to us mere mortals, but it sure *sounds* great!

I don't know why, but I'd like him to and up with a bela who knows how to cook... or something... you know, because he just loves to eat .

[lelehtidazzio]

Crossing his arms over his chest, Remin glared up at him.  “I have devoted myself in service to my gods.  If one of those gods is also an annoying man, that’s just something I have to endure.”


Remin and Kudorin love to bust each other's chops, don't they?

Until Xio Voe showed up, Remin was the only one who could 'hassle' Kudorin. Imagine the two of them as teens!

Ankira can too, she just spends most of her time flirting and teaming up with Kudorin to tease Remin.

[Falconer]

Until Xio Voe showed up, Remin was the only one who could 'hassle' Kudorin. Imagine the two of them as teens!

I've thought about that! I don't remember where, but it was said that Remin and Kudorin had their "secret hidden places" where they used to leave messages for each other. Partners in crime! Haha! They're really close. Which is why I'm waiting for some more Xio Voh/Remin interaction...

You want Remin to interact with Xio Voe?  How come?  What do you think would happen if they did?  Would Xio Voe try to talk to Remin about what it's like living with a god?  Would he ask him how he can be closer to the Anorian gods in general?  Or would Remin just have to reign himself in all the time to prevent himself from jumping him?

Orinakin, ITL 107.12:

“Selorin and I came up with a few codes and encryption methods.  He found most of them unwieldy and was forever trying to refine and modify them.  Remin and Kudorin had systems of symbols, and they had secret drop spots we were always trying to find.”

This conversation uses Bade and Vade, Orinakin and Selorin, Talin and Anosanim, and Kudorin and Remin as parallels.  It's interesting that three of those pairs are twins, Kudorin and Remin being the exception.

While Kudorin talks to all of his brothers, advises all of them, and turns to each of them when he wants a confidant or sounding board, Remin's usually his go-to.  Do you think that's just because Remin's closest in age, and since, as they were growing up, Orinakin and Selorin were already paired off and everyone else was younger, Kudorin and Remin just became a set of their own?  Do you think that's because Remin is his priest and therefore his personal and spiritual adviser?  Do you think it's because Remin is one of the very few people who seem at times his superior?

-Matthew

[LilacMajesty]

I think its both that they're closest in age and that Remin is Anosukinom's priest.  I know this is your story, but I don't know if I would classify Remin as Anosukinom's superior - simply NEARLY his equal.

[Matthew Haldeman-Time]

No, I wouldn't classify Remin as Kudorin's superior, either.  I said that he seems that way at times.  I knew it might come across oddly when I said it, but I was referring to how friendly yet laid-back Kudorin is, compared with how everyone across the board sees Remin as majestic and regal.  There's the suggestion that Remin fits the concept of what a pharaoh should be/historically has been better than Kudorin does, in that sense.

-Matthew

-Matthew

Hum, I think it's because they're closest in age and "since, as they were growing up, Orinakin and Selorin were already paired off and everyone else was younger, Kudorin and Remin just became a set of their own". This also explains the last reason you suggested. This bond they've created since childhood has enabled Remin to not think twice before scolding Kudorin, to talk back to him, etc. I also think that because Remin is the one closest to the gods, he can interact better with the god-side of Kudorin, he understands him better than anyone else. Which, once they ascended to their respective positions, further reinforced their closeness.

ps: Thanks for the quote by the way!

[lelehtidazzio]

I think that it's because they are closer in age and everyone else was paired off and younger.  I would also agree that Remin and Kudorin are equals.   Kudorin enjoys teasing Remin but Remin gives as good as he gets.

-Matthew

YES!.... but it is also because Remin needs him, and K knows it.  R doesn't have a twin... he is busy, but not like Desin.

I have to disagree. I don't think that Remin needs Kudorin anymore than the other siblings do. I think they are naturally close with each other because they fit well together. Remin, as mentioned in a previous chapter, was able to teach kudorin a few things growing up. So I don't think it is a one way street in their relationship.

I think their relationship is very equal (as equal as it can be when one is your G-d) and they stems from being very close in childhood. I think there is a distinct difference from the top four siblings and the bottom four siblings and that is partly because of the example Remin and Kudorin had already set.

But it seems to me the two of them (Remin and Kudorin) definitely had their own fun when they were younger! I think as they grew up the superior/priest relationship has taken shape around that. It has made their personal relationship and spiritual relationship that much stronger to know each other so well. Which is why Matthew probably put the priest right after - to create that bond. That bond is supposed to be there.

Desin does seem like the lonely one.

[Matthew Haldeman-Time]

I could buy the argument that Remin needs Kudorin, if you explain what he needs Kudorin for.  I'd like to hear more thoughts on that, because I think that the argument can be made.

However: if we accept the theory that Remin needs Kudorin, I think that we can also argue that Kudorin needs Remin.

-Matthew

[Matthew Haldeman-Time]

Last scene of ITL 29, Kudorin speaking to Remin:

“Inanodat,” Kudorin said gently, “your love for me is exceeded only by my love for you, and your faith in me is exceeded only by my faith in you.  You are trapped in the unique position of being my brother, my advisor, my priest, my representative, my right hand, my confidante, and my friend, by turns.  It is no failing of yours that you see me as your older brother and not your god, when I speak to you as a brother.  It’s kind of you, in fact, to indulge me when I switch roles on you without warning.”

Edited to add: Jae's already donated so much of her time and effort to the wiki that I'd rather not ask anything else of her.  We don't all have the same memory for detail, but we do all have the same access to the same material.

-Matthew

Edited a second time to add: this post was in reply to a request by another board member asking "Jae or someone" to find a quotation.  She has since deleted her post.  Just wanted to let y'all know I wasn't talking to myself.

[Falconer]

I don't think that putting their relationship in terms of "need" is the best way to approach this... I don't think Remin needs Kudorin...that would suggest that he's getting something from Kudorin that he can't do without, that he's lacking something which Kudorin provides him with...

If we're talking of "need", then it's merely the need for someone who knows and understands you on different levels. In that sense, I think they would both "need" each other. But again, I don't think "need" is the proper term to use here.

[Matthew Haldeman-Time]

I don't think "need" is the proper term to use here.

I don't, either, and I think that may be one of the problems we're having here.  When LDoza brought up the idea of Remin "needing" Kudorin, I said that "if we accept the theory that Remin needs Kudorin, I think that we can also argue that Kudorin needs Remin," because I could really only see Remin needing Kudorin if we interpreted "need" in a specific way.

But I don't think that "need" is the right term, in general, and I think that we should back up and try again.

What are we talking about, anyway?  Remin?  I'd like to discuss his dual personalities, whether he always had them or whether he split himself in two upon/after his ascension, and whether or not he'll always be like this.

-Matthew

[LilacMajesty]

As you established with the ascensions of Anosanim and Talin, their personalities don't change that much even during after major upheavel.  So I think that Remin has always been this way.  I don't mean to contradict the Great One (that would be you, Matthew) but I don't think Remin does have a split personality.  He just goes all out at everything he does - being a Priest, eating, once and future sex. 

[Matthew Haldeman-Time]

Hey, don't look at me.  Ask Orinakin in ITL 50:

“Well, Remin is a contradiction,” Orinakin said.  “You may have noticed by now that he’s two distinct people?”

            To be honest, “In a sense, yes,” Bade admitted.

            “The half of Remin that is a priest is very calm and very peaceful.  It feels wonderful.  It’s very soothing to be near someone so at peace.  There’s a profound sense of harmony.”

            Remin was very at peace with his place the world.  “And his other half?”

            “The other half of Remin is intensely passionate, intensely charismatic, very proud, and acutely aware of the rising libidos of every attractive young man within three miles.  There’s a very quiet, very repressed strain of restlessness, of dissatisfaction, of need, of predatory intent, that Remin does his best to stifle.  It’s very…”  Searching for words, Orinakin ran his fingers across Bade’s collarbone.  “Remin’s incredibly calming.  But there’s a faint but constant hum of his very not calm passion and lust and power, that even he can’t entirely hide.”

-Matthew

[LilacMajesty]

I stand corrected.  :::takes off my red Jacacean lace hat to you:::

[Rhia]

As you established with the ascensions of Anosanim and Talin, their personalities don't change that much even during after major upheavel. 

I respectfully disagree. Not about Anosanim and Talin, but about Remin. Anosanim and Talin didn't need to change as dramatically, because the demands placed on them are different. Remin had a uniquely hefty demand placed on him when he became High Priest -- that of celibacy.

Prior to ascension, Remin was used to being able to express the "intensely passionate" part of his nature that was "aware of the rising libidos of every attractive young man within three miles" -- for instance, Anosanim reflects on the perils of shopping with Remin, because Remin would disappear with someone in every shop they went to. After ascension, allowing that part of his personality free reign would be torturous at best, and a threat to his vow of celibacy at worst.

As you said, Remin goes all out at everything he does; moderation is not his strong suit, to say the least. So my feeling is that he developed the second, priestly part of his personality as a way of repressing the more passionate side of his nature. It's just another extreme -- he can't allow all of his passion to show so, when he's in his role as a priest, he doesn't even allow a little bit of his passion to show.

That's not to say that the calm, peaceful, harmonious part of his personality wasn't there prior to ascension, but I think it was probably more integrated at the time, because he didn't feel the need to be one or the other; his role as a passionate man didn't threaten his role as Hisi's apprentice, and vice versa. Now, his role as a priest requires that he subdue his passions, and his passions threaten his role as a priest, which necessitates that he divide them more carefully.

As for whether or not he'll always be this way... yes and no. I think that being married, and having an outlet where he can safely allow himself to integrate the dual parts of his nature will allow him certain times and places where the "split personality" isn't needed. But, at least until he steps down as High Priest, there are going to be times when he has to be a priest, and nothing but a priest.

[SilverMoon28]

Hmmm... I'm not sure if Remin will ever only be able to be just a priest.  He's too passionate for that (not that pirests aren't passionate).  I just mean that once he's married, he'll always have his husband on his mind and won't be able to stop thinking about him.  He'll probably sneak him into his office and make love to him endlessly... t least for the first few months.  Then he might calm down and return to being able to separate his work life from his home life.

What?  I'm needy!  I need to see Remin have sex! 

Vani

[Magical_Jen]

I'm not sure if  my question should be posted here, in Priests and Sex or should be a whole new topic all together. Oh, if my question is something that has all ready been discussed, can some one point me to that thread.

When Remin gets married do you think that he will visit the belams? I know I want to see how Remin is with the belas but because of his position do you think that he will only be able to partner with his husband?

[SilverMoon28]

Tee-hee... I think that Remin will visit the belams indeed as soon as he gets married.  He'll go with his husband first, then on his own... oh the possibilities!!!

Gold book!  Gold book!!!

I think this was actually asked/covered in the Priests and Sex thread, if you want to glance over there. 

[Diamond]

 

So today, wondering about Remin's hair. It's not blond. It's gold.

Is it shiny metallic gold,  like silky Christmas tin foil?

Is it a just a deep honey gold color? 

In what way is it different from blond?

We don't get a lot of description of his hair. Is it tied back most days? Does hang loose flowing down his back? Does he get it braided like Selorin? It is longer than Anosanim's or shorter than Orinakin/Selorin's?

I think I could spin for a while on this. 

- Diamond

[LilacMajesty]

Orinakin describes Remin's hair is being "more metallic" than blonde.  I have to admit, I have some trouble picturing that one.  In the scene where Bade and Vade are watching a shirtless Remin out the window, attention was directed to his flowing hair - which makes me think that most of the time he binds it up in some manner. 

[SilverMoon28]

Here's the Remin thread!

So, for all you Remin lovers out there, I thought we could just resurface and talk about him for a bit.

I remember now all the talk we had about him in the early days of the board, ha!

We've rehashed (okay okay, I rehashed it) the question about whether or not Remin will visit the belams once he gets married.  Rules aside, what do you think he'll do (besides have sex 28 hours a day)?

Yes, I know we've discussed it before, but we know a little more about him now, so I think it's worth revisiting the topic.

Vani

[Mountie]

  Thanks Vani

OK I'll go looking for the quote from 135 now....

  &  after  's spent the day with Hier Voe during  's festival

“Thank you,” Kudorin said, “for such a wonderful day.”

            “If he weren’t already yours,” Remin said, “I’d take him.”

            Soft laughter.  “Ah, Anoremin,” Kudorin said.  “If you knew what was in store for you, you wouldn’t think twice of my king.”

I can't imagine a person better for than Xio Voe is for but apparently there is someone out there for him.

[SilverMoon28]

Oh, that's true!!!!  I can't wait to see who he's got in store for him!!!!!!!!!

Vani

[SilverMoon28]

Remin and food...

I could start a new thread with that alone... but here's the first thing we notice about Remin and food when Orinakin gets gack from his travels.

From chapter 3:

Orinakin gave Remin a box of Furterian delicacies, which Remin took from his hands with great alacrity.  Opening the box, he lifted it to his nose and inhaled.  “Salted wuetters,” he murmured.  “Phrakes.  Mmm, dipped in chocolate.”

            “Really?” Desin asked, leaning in for a better look.

            “Mmm.”  Remin selected a phrake and, sitting back, gradually bit into it.  With a low, luxurious moan, he closed his eyes, chewing slowly.

            Carefully, cautiously, Desin reached-

            Remin’s eyes shot open; he pinned Desin with a look.  Not a word was said, but Remin’s gaze spoke volumes; Desin retracted his hand, lowering it to his lap, and didn’t try again.  Once Desin was still, Remin relaxed; calm and pleased, licking his lips, he took another bite.  “Thank you, Orinakin.  They’re delicious.”

Possessive prince, is he not?

I love the fact that Remin loves food.

I know, I know, we all know that Remin loves his food and his toys.  But I still wanted to put that quote in cause I found it hilarious.

I'm also bored =)

Vani

[Mountie]

Goodness Remin and his food remember when Bade and Vade were planning the Nosupolis booth at the festival?

[CourtneyLee]

When Remin waxed poetic over the idea of more cheese and butter? I loved that scene. 

You know, since I hope that Remin's husband will be a nymphomaniac chef, or at least a sex fiend who loves to eat as much as Remin does, I'm expecting a lot of lovesex with food integrated into it, kinda like when Talin and He Who Shall Not Be Named had those honey pastries that Kudorin had Anosanim deliver to them. Or when Kudorin told everyone that Orinakin was having breakfast in bed, licking jam off of Bade.

If Remin doesn't combine food and sex, I'll be shocked. 

[SilverMoon28]

He Who Shall Not Be Named?  Talin had sex with Voldemort?!?!?!?!?   

*runs away from Liz*

I'm sure that Remin will combine food and sex quite regularly.  If just soaking himself in honey so that his husband can lick it off him.  Or chocolate... or eatable underwear.

Pay no attention to the man behind the mouse.

[Mountie]

OK NOW that we had the discussion in the Chapterter 171 topic...  Does everyone still think that we may have a match arriving for Remin when Xoe Voe hires that Ilaeian chef?   I see re-reading this topic that CL suggested that Remin marry a nymphomaniac chef so I can understand why all the bells and whistles went off for us when Kudorin and Xoe Voe talked about hiring a chef.  I have my fingers crossed. 

The only other potential candidates I see coming are the Priests from Jacacea that I imagine will arrive to help perform Kudorin and Xoe Voe's wedding.  It was mentioned somewhere that Remin's husband would need to be a man of stong religious convictions.  I think when Remin was fantasizing in the incence room before consicrating Xoe Voe's worship room.  This could be another possibility.

What do you think?

[LilacMajesty]

My vote is for the chef.

[CourtneyLee]

Definitely the chef, but I think he'll be Anorian. At least, I hope he will be. Kudorin wants an Anorian chef skilled in Jacacean cuisine and Xio Voe mentioned Ilaeia, so it could be an Anorian who trained in Ilaeia. Also, both the Purple Book and the Rainbow Book feature cross-cultural matches, so I'm crossing my fingers for Remin's husband being Anorian. And possibly a former bela or someone who went through bela training, but that's purely wishful thinking on my part. 

[CourtneyLee]

Power-is-hella-sexy moment:

No longer meditating, Xio Voe continued to maintain his pose.  “You wield great influence.  That influence would diminish, were I on the throne.  Does my presence here threaten you?”

            Remin smiled.  “The addition of another star to the sky does not displace the rest.  And all are secondary to the glow of the moon.”  Besides, “This is the Dynasty of the Seven Siblings.  You may be king here, but this is a theocracy, and I’m the royal high priest.  Don’t believe for one second that anything about me or my rule here is in any way diminished by you.”

 

[Mountie]

 

            “I’ll send you some people,” Remin promised.

            “You?” Orinakin repeated.

            “I have the largest staff in the country,” Remin said.

            On the throne, Anikira snickered.  Kudorin rolled his eyes, grinning.

            “I’ll send you some people,” Remin said again, ignoring them.

Though really I do not know if I should be putting this in Anikira's topic cause she is acting like a 10 year old.

[Rebel]

Definitely the chef, but I think he'll be Anorian. At least, I hope he will be. Kudorin wants an Anorian chef skilled in Jacacean cuisine and Xio Voe mentioned Ilaeia, so it could be an Anorian who trained in Ilaeia.

And possibly a former bela or someone who went through bela training, but that's purely wishful thinking on my part. 

Oooh. I hadnt considered this, but I am so on board for the chef. All that lovesex with food and kinkiness 

[CourtneyLee]

Question: when the royal high priest gets engaged, who does his/her interview, Anosukinom or the high priest of Ilanosa? I think that Kudorin would let no one else do Remin's interview. And as a bonus, Anosukinom's word on Ilanosa's approval of the union is completely beyond any doubt.

Not that I'm jumping the gun on Remin's HEA or anything. 

[LilacMajesty]

I would say it would almost have to be Kudorin.  I can't see one of the other priests daring to question Remin on anything.

[Dena]

I would guess it was Kudorin too.  Unless it's considered a respectful courtesy to let the High Priest of Ilanosa do it.

I'd say I'd rather Kudorin do it, because it will be HILARIOUS.

[Rebel]

I would guess it was Kudorin too.  Unless it's considered a respectful courtesy to let the High Priest of Ilanosa do it.

I'd say I'd rather Kudorin do it, because it will be HILARIOUS.

OMG yes! Can you picture our beloved Cialex asking intimate questions of Remin and his fiancee, sitting on a table or desk, grinning? I totally can 

[Mountie]

I can't wait to  that part.  It could be amazingly funny.  It all depends on if Remins HEA is as fun loving as Kudorin.  I can see his HEA being very informal to help Remin unwind and relax and let go of his responsibilities and be human and enjoy his life before putting back on his robes and adopting the mantle of the Royal High Priest.

I can almost see Remin's HEA as being funloving like Rini in a more mature manner like Selorin.  We already know he will be a chef trained bela

[Dena]

It will turn into Kudorin asking questions, and then telling stories about Remin's kinky past.  lol

[CourtneyLee]

Stories of Remin's kinky past could be fun, but Mystery Man will probably already know a lot of them. Because really, anyone fit to marry Remin will be interested in said past and in recreating it on a nightly basis. Or rather, planning on recreating it because they won't actually be able to do anything that involves below-the-waist parts until they get married.

You know, this might be more excruciating than Xio Voe and Kudorin's frustration at not being able to touch. At least they can still get off together. Remin and his intended will be able to touch and kiss, but not go beyond that. I can't wait to see how Matthew handles that.

[Rebel]

Agree that it has potential to be WAY more excruciating than Kudorin and Xio Voe, given the circumstances.

Yanno, had the strangest thought today; given Remins little thing for Bades body, and given how, er, insatiable Vade is, and how Remin was worried he wouldnt find a guy who could keep up with his needs, what if its he and Vade.......yeah, no. Totally no. Right?  

[Mountie]

We all agreed that it could be a possibility bur Kudorin said to Remin his husband was coming, while Vade was already there.  The thought did pass through many of our heads though Rebel.

[Rebel]

Did he actually say he was coming, or did he say he would be around soon? That threw me off too. Maybe, too, I just want Vade to be with SOMEONE, lol so I'm grasping at straws. Love that boy    Altho a Remin/Vade pairing would be ok, I am still at this time firmly team Selorin/Vade, until proven otherwise 

[CourtneyLee]

If Vade doesn't end up with one of the Siblings, we may have to hunt dowm Matthew's address and toilet paper his house. 

[Rebel]

Oh at the very least. I adored him from the start, but after his little shag fest in Jacacea and him worrying about being a "slut" I just fell head over heels. He's so cute.

[CourtneyLee]

I just had a thought: Remin apparently can't have sex with belas even after he's married, but his husband will have no such restriction. I wonder how that's going to work. Will Remin go to Seven Siblings orgies but only touch his husband? Does he have the willpower for that? Would he be able to hold back touching bellas if/when his husband is with them?

[Shanghi]

I would guess it was Kudorin too.  Unless it's considered a respectful courtesy to let the High Priest of Ilanosa do it.

I'd say I'd rather Kudorin do it, because it will be HILARIOUS.

Unless it will be the High Priest of Ilanosa, btw isn't that the king or in this instance XioVoe? OMG I don't know if I could read that scene with a straight face. 

[Mountie]

Oh that is a funny thought, Xoe Voe doing it but I don't think that is Xoe Voe's job.  Just as each sibling, except Remin, isn't their gods high preist, Xoe Voe won't be Ilanosa's preist just blessed with Ilanosa's blessings.

I still thnk it will be Kudorin.

[Shanghi]

Yes you're probably right.
