[keyheartsia-dorm]

*Sighs*

I’m bored let’s do a lore dump

It’s a Map~

Oh Yeah I mentioned a Sprinkle of Final Fantasy and KH but I haven’t talked about that Aspect of my Canon At all have I? Well truth be told it’s cause I’m focusing on getting the more Basic Aspects of my Oc’s Before I get into that but Guess who made this Baby on a Whim!

So this is the Map of the Isle of Light well the Main Island at least there are other Littler Bits of land Yet to surface I̶t̶’̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶t̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶A̶d̶d̶ ̶o̶n̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶L̶a̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶h̶a̶h̶a̶ oh yeah did I mention it’s a FLOATING ISLAND!! Yeah P Sick right? Okay so I’ll go into the Island’s History and it’s Area’s but it may have some Spoilers I guess you could say but honestly I wouldn’t wait on me making a full fledged...Anything outta the Story I’ve made like I’ll sum it up (not here but like in general) but comics are hard Videos are hard Fics are hard maybe not individually but this is more of a Anime Series then an Anime movie if you feel me without further ado...Stuff

Oh god this was longer then expected

Some General Background

So The Isle of Light was Originally the Black Forest A Place of Freedom and Expression for all who lead lives who Needed to hide Such and Some Such was The Coven of the Black Forest made up of 3 sisters (not biologically also there was a 4th) they all found comfort and love with each other one being the Princess of the Kingdom nearby (The 4th and Littlest one) She had a fiancé who was Mad with a Lust for power and Control over things he Didn’t need power and control over He Treated the Littlest one Cruelly when the other 3 Decided enough was enough when he did...SOMETHING to Part of the Forest so Horrible it turned Dead and Cruel (Subtle Subtle Hint Hint Wink) When all 3 Of them saw the Ruin They went so mad they turned to Darkness and fought him and all his Manmade monstrosities there when the Princess Arrived there was so much Dark energy everywhere it was Bad like Real Bad So with her friends now monsters she Fought them with a heavy heart her heart broke so much she fell afterwards immediately Unintentionally Sending her Kingdom to somewhere nobody knows where she is though...That’s an even bigger question BUT the story would live on as a Weilder of the key blade who slayed 3 evil witches...(Oh yeah did I mention Crowley knows And that’s Why He Let the Girls Attend because he thought they might be the Black Forest Coven Reincarnated And the Prophecy that when they Awakened the “Keys to their Hearts once more” They’d Free The Princess From her Mirror Prison Oh Yeah also the princess DID Die But her Reincarnation Goes inside a Mirror and is trapped there when she turns 17 and Doesn’t leave until she dIES ALSO ITS HIS OLDEST DAUGHTER THIS TIME ALSO YES HE HAS 2 DAUGHTERS...Okay lemme just calm down..Also yeah she thought of the Princess System) but After a Wish got safe haven for all Keyblade Weilders (I have KH Oc’s other then these don’t ask Longer story they live and basically founded Fortana Haven) I guess the Isle of Light Rose from the Shadow Realm to be just that oh yeah also the Isle of light is literally that kingdom if ya didn’t know

Fortana Haven

(Some Love Nikki BGs for Visualization if I’m Wrong about this from being from Love Nikki Correct me pls and if this is your art sorry and I’ll take it down)

Okay this Place Basically a Modern Fairytale Everything is so Rustic~ but they Have Cafe’s and Stuff~ They’re still very much in Development as a City..or town..or whatever Boss of everything Locket Clover (An OG KH OC) Runs Everything Wonderfully she welcomes everything with open arms and If you wanna run a shop or want a Building for a particular Thing or Activity she’s Pretty open to the idea unless it’s Incredibly Dumb But she will make you get The Wood and Supplies and The Bricks and the Brick Stick Sauce or whatever it’s called she might get give you help constructing but dang is she a firm believer in “DIY” but I like how she’s Determined to Have a Good Balance between Industrial and Rural In fact there is a Mall (God knows how it got there) And that’s pretty much all there is for your Juicy Capitalism Fix She Runs “Hope Stir” Workshop according to Her boyfriend Ephmer It was always Called a workshop but for the longest time she did EVERYTHING Subtle Farmwork And Animal Husbandry ACTUAL Workshop things all cause she wanted to help every Weilder she knew out and made sure they had a place for food and such She is a bit of a Moneyholic but when you’ve been doing what she’s been doing I bet you’d be too overall While it doesn’t have much History yet Fortana Haven (4-Tana is how you say it btw) Is truly well a Haven

The Crowned Castle

(More Pics for Visuals I don’t think this is from love Nikki but if this is your artwork same applies I’m not gonna be the guy who Claims just cause it’s on google it belongs to everybody or something even though yeah I did find it on google)

The...Crown of the Isle of Light Before We came to the Isle for the first time Apparently Everyone In Fortana thought it was Haunted! Which..Fair enough Before we Placed the Princess Medals (Okay QUICK SUMMARY OF THIS BIT Okay so in the KH Mobile game there’s Medals and I wanted them to be in my story basically They’re Memories formed into powers when all my Oc’s Met the Princess’s Of Heart They Each got a Medal Representing them and then the Medals Restored the Castle I left out some details but basically that’s it) This Castle is the BOMB There’s Cool Pretty Princess Room’s And a Bedroom JUST FOR SLUMBER PARTIES!! And it’s just a good Place to Vibe and Hang out with your friends (I’m sorry I’m about to Lore Dumb all over this place) The Princess’s Fiancé Made a Crown for her before she could put it on he put some of his Subconscious in it poor Eden When she wanted to get stronger for Malleus (Malleus is her adoptive big brother and she was upset cause she felt she wasn’t good enough ran away to get power and found the crown) It really did almost completely overtake her I shudder thinking about it “Kachow”...Ew (The fiancé said that a lot ok) a lotta bad stuff happened here but as selfish as this may sound I feel like I earned my spot here and I wanna keep sharing it with my friends

The Matteria Deadland

(Also Imagine some Pointy Mountains and some Lite Mech debris)

Man What to say... So Much Happened here as well probably Tragedy I can’t comprehend there is a few good places about this place though Diane likes to Scavange around Here for Interesting Debris Eden doesn’t like the Air around here but she says she finds Interesting Jewels here and Latte says the same thing so there is good to be found here We all come here every so often to try to help..Anything grow but they don’t call this deadland for nothing but still ya can’t give up hope! I wanna grow some beautiful Lillies here one day! Also hey! Also pretty cool name (Matter-RI-a is how you say it btw) All the sadness that happened here it actually did make the land rich in Metal if nothing else there’s even a whole Cavern we found in the mountains...it almost killed us but we found it

Opal Cove

(also these are Gacha Backgrounds)

Is this Place an Actual Cove? Idk

Is this Place super cool and pretty? Yeah

Is this one of my favorite places in this whole Isle? FRICK YEAH

okay I love a lot about this Isle but Opal Cove!!

Our mermaid friend Mitella I guess “Runs” the Place Our KINDA merman Friend Skye also spends a whole lotta time here Basically it’s a Giant Pool and rumor has it...It’s endless Water...CAUSE IT IS SOMEHOW CAUSE I KNOW weird thing is the Sand it’s at the end of the Isle so there’s not really a beach just...Sand Near Water Odd The Coral Near the Bottom or well “Bottom” Is SO PRETTY it’s like Crystals in the morning the light shines its SO DANG PRETTY I’m glad Mitella is a Sea Witch Or else we couldn’t go so deep underwater it’s SOOO worth it!! She does NOT let a lotta people at once though Heck she doesn’t like Skye that much from what I can tell but she makes an Exception for ~friends~ So...BE NICE TO OUR CUTE MITELLA I’m glad we have a Convient Place for Blitzball practice and also Swimming around with pretty Mermaid Tails (New Nix Mermaid Action Fashion Doll only 25.99! Get it for your Child or they’ll cry!! Also a 5 dollar Boy doll take his Shirt off! That’s it!) Hyde Mi And Skye are kinda an Iconic Trio Mi Also Teaches how to swim with a mermaid tail better for the Weilders who wanna go to Atlantica Hey Mermaids gotta eat so get a Swim Lesson! (And also a transforming Mermaid Doll!)

Bianco Nero Forest

Well tbh I have the least to say because it’s Appeal is simple ADVENTURE AND MYSTERY! Lots can happen in Bianco Nero it’s Basically the Base foundation of the whole Isle! Presumably cause it’s the Black Forest or was at least though it can be dangerous it’s the only place heartless are know to appear in the whole isle (So where you’ll grind In the Video Game that’ll definitely happen :Says the girl who can’t commit to a single comic) They drop all sortsa cool stuff! Heck you can FIND Cool stuff just...Around so..Yeah!!

It’s 2 am maybe I’ll edit this later thanks for reading sorry I got obviously tired by the end goodbye my dearests~ (Seriously y’all deserve like a reward for reading this dumpster fire) I was inspired by those maps in those scholastic books like the Rainbow Fairies I think it was called (Anyone remember those?) that had lil maps in the beginning and also the map’s stickers all on PicsArt

CONTENT CREATOR YEAR IN REVIEW

tagged by: @hanflix :’))) my love, rue!!! i love you so much!

tagging: @binniesthighs @milkym00n @dreamyhan @mochinnie @hanjizung @seungmoomin (if you’ve done this before please feel free to ignore this! :) ily) + anyone who sees this that hasn’t gotten to do it yet! tag me!!! i want to read into your world please this is fun to do i promise

NOTE: most of my works are nsfw. under 18 please do not interact with them.

1. first creation of 2020 and most recent creation of 2020 first creation: runaway, a lovely fluff + sci-fi! au about alien hyunjin running from his lab and finding solace inside of your bedroom. most recent creation: ironically another hyunjin drabble (he’s my kryptonite)! free with ads is a smut request by a lovely anon about hyunjin wanting to have fun during a movie night with skz! hard warnings btw, beware.

2. one of your favorite creations from 2020 the ricochet effect, although it’s not out yet! it’s an ot8 series, part per member/’choose your own’ vibe, and it’s already got me in my feels. the entire series is meant to have the message of ���love does include sex, in a healthy way. you can experiment without being called names, learn from mistakes, and even (just maybe) find someone that you can share a little more time with. all while learning about yourself, and how to love yourself!” or at least i hope it comes across that way. :) it’s witty and has bits of actual advice i want to pass over to smut readers, all while still being fiction. i hope it turns out well.

3. a creation you’re really proud of imminent! it’s a long fic about wolfman! changbin. It’s completely based off the movie “the wolfman” from 2010 that i love substantially, (mainly because it starred benicio del toro, who i’m constantly inspired by) and sort of follows the lore of the film without being exactly like the film. i wrote it in two short sittings, and i’m completely proud of myself for coming up with a huge spin to the plot within like an hour before writing it. it’s also one of the only works of my own that i can read without cringing too lmaoo.

4. a creation that took you forever the ricochet effect, again! i currently have 4 out of 8 written, but it feels like it’ll be the year 3000 by the time i finish it, and i will not be living under water. i’ll be screaming at my wifi for going in and out and deleting what i’m writing. rip.

5. a creation from 2020 that received the most notes could listen to you read the dictionary is the highest of my notes right now! which, who doesn’t have a very specific felix’s voice kink? this was my first request on this blog, so i’ll cherish this drabble for a long time.

6. a creation you think deserved more notes before i swapped over to this blog from bearseokie i was doing a 1k drabble game/halloween drabble game, which brought two of my favorite drabbles to light! epitaph is a warlock! au smut that is centered around the idea that minho can make you see a few minutes into the future, and also bring you back to the now moment! vampire is a vampy! au (obviously) smut where you’ve come to love your human seungmin, and all he wants to do is join you in the life of immortality to make you feel less alone. bonus: for my harry potter/hogwarts! au lovers, stars is considerably underrated and is very cute! jisung is a ravenclaw, reader is a slytherin. could i make it any more obvious?

7. a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it i’m still a baby stay, so stray kids! i have a tendency to listen to a group’s music for months on end before i even get into the members and knowing their history. but when i got into skz holy shit you’d think i had an epiphany, these dudes are insanely talented and i am so sorry i slept on getting to know them. i’m just going to link my entire m.list since that’s what stanning them has brought out! masterlist!

8. a creation you made that breaks your heart words to me, definitely. the idea of being around soulmate! chan is enough to make anyone weak, but the lights in each other’s eyes put together form a diamond to tell you both that you’re soulmates? i’m on the floor, i hardly even remember writing that bit but it’s in there and i’m going awooga right now.

9. a ‘simple’ creation you really love 11:47 took my brain cells and ran with them. fuckbuddy! hyunjin is always on my mind, but damn if me writing this out didn’t electrify those thoughts by a thousand.

10. a creation that was inspired by another one beat it to the door was inspired by daniel sloss’ comedy special “X” (it is highly mature content and possibly triggering content btw pls look into it before watching if you do!!!) inside one of his jokes he was speaking about how sex is bound to happen to everyone, and can be under any circumstance. while listing things you could have sex during or between, he joked “order a pizza, see if you can beat it to the door.” and my brain went: chan. so welcome to how my brain works!

11. a favorite creation by someone else i love all of the recs under my tag #during.dawn.bookshelf, but oh do i know how many works i have yet to read and i know will shake me to my core. i honestly cannot choose any specific works off the top of my head, so instead i am just going to link my skz writer recs lists so you can see all the people i adore + who inspire me every (and i mean Every) day! skz writer recs: list one, list two, list three

12. some of your favorite content creators from this year where do i even start, okay: @hanflix​ - can make you cry and be horny at the same time? wtf rue. i came here for fun and now you’re making me Feel Emotions Through Your Writing That I Have Yet To Feel In Real Life Mom Pick Me Up Rue Is Too Talented. read rue’s works or you will regret it. @mikoto-ica-fics​ - i would be lying my sweet ass off if i said mica isn’t the explicit reason i made this blog. her works will literally (Literally) send you into another dimension and make you fall in love with skz all over again. @nightshade-minho​ - mika mika mika let me announce that i love mika, mika’s writing (so much that you make me genuinely excited to write), and mika’s aesthetically pleasing blog. the best “let me dip my toe into the water (aka mlist) and see what happens oh no i’m in it now and it’s 5 a.m how did i get here.” you’ll ever experience. @binniesthighs​ - if you’ve ever asked the question: where can i get some good fucking food (skz fluff & smut) around here? see ro! @dreamyhan​ - why is hazel everywhere, and how did i not find her sooner? how is hazel so talented? i ask these questions on a regular basis. @mochinnie​ - you’ll never be bored if you know isa’s @. everything she does is so neat, pretty, aesthetic, astounding, talented, beautiful, amazing, etc of what lady gaga says in that one meme which fits isa way too well. there are SO MANY skz writers i could go on about like this, so please please please check out the skz writers recs list above!!! i’m still adding to it as time goes on :) if you weren’t specifically mentioned here, just know i will find your blog and i will fall in love with you. this is a threat.

[autumnslance]

how do you get into roleplaying on a ff server? like how do you do it and how do you know if your character is lore compliant? ;A; pls youre a big inspo to me

*Hugs Nonny* Getting into RP on a FF server can vary; I don’t actually RP much these days, outside of some friends I already have connections to--and that in itself can be difficult just due to Life! It can take time, and patience, and some fits and starts.

And this gets...really really long, so buckle up and go below the cut, please. :)

The cut got broken by an edit. Sigh.

In game there’s always the RP status tag, and just doing RP with folks in public spaces. There may be trolls now and then, but they can be ignored. I personally find Balmung’s Quicksand area too busy and anxiety inducing and not actually all that conducive to actual RP, even “meet at a tavern” walk-up type. But unless you already have a ready-made group of friends/FCmates willing to RP more than some random walk-ups with you, it may take some legwork to find folks you can and want to write with.

Social Media There are a couple of RP community blogs, like @mooglemeet​ and @ffxiv-crystal-rp​  and plenty of server-specific ones. There’s also some Discords for these communities. They host and advertise events and reblog people who are looking for RP contacts. Some of them have running gdoc calendars and in game linkshells and fellowships as well.

Shofie has a good post about Tumblr/social media RP blogging.

@shofie-ffxiv

It’s a fact now that social media outside game is a way to make contacts, or even a medium for RP itself. There are few centralized websites/forums for server RP communities anymore. Making connections over your social media, like Tumblr and Twitter, can help find RP. You can’t just throw your own character info out there or reblog prompts hoping others bite, though; you have to put in some work and show interest in others, too. This can be difficult and even scary. That’s OK.

RP is about collaboration and creating with other people, which means finding folks you can write with, and who see you as someone interesting but also interested in them and their OCs. If you want to keep it a solo endeavor focused on your own OCs, write fanfic (which I’ve actually made friends and gotten RP interests that way too through comment interactions, so hey).

If you reblog a prompt from someone, see others on your dash reblogging prompts, if people reblog that prompt post from you? Send them asks! Alternatively, don’t wait for prompts, just send asks, comments, or chats saying hello and things you notice or like about their blog/character/posts they make. Try to form connections with people you think are genuinely interesting and might be fun to talk with. Social media should be, well, social.

BUT respect boundaries, too. Don’t try sarcasm or jokes with people you don’t actually know, it tends to go over poorly. Unless someone’s specifically posting a naughty meme/prompt, keep stuff you others send clean and polite, especially if it’s unsolicited and you’re not already friends (doubly so if you don’t know how old they are IRL, there are laws you do not want to break). Respect if people aren’t open to random asks or chatting with new followers, or say “no” to RP, and know it’s not personal--it’s just what they have time, energy, and emotional/mental capacity for. Don’t give up on other people, though. This stuff can take time and effort to find those you click with.

Respect and communication with RP partners is pretty key.

Do curate your feeds and don’t be afraid to unfollow/mute/block folks, either. I’m selective in who I follow and remove as needed, too, for my own mental health. I miss so much of the discourse and drama and that’s fine by me. Also it costs nothing to not step in on a lot of the drama when it does pass in sight.

Profiles I have static RP profile pages for my girls here on Tumblr (and a lot of other static links and pages, but I’m weird about organizing like that). This way, if people want to write with me, send me prompts, if I sent them prompts, or they want to otherwise interact with my characters, the information is handily available. For some folks, this makes all the difference in who they choose to interact with: how easily can they find even basic info about your OC?

Some people make Carrds. Some folks have gdoc links, or use Dreamwidth, etc. Just keep the links in the blog’s sidebar menu, and/or in the blog desc so people can see ‘em on mobile. There are templates out there, or you can make your own. Feel free to snag mine if you’d like. A lot of times people also copy their profiles to rebloggable posts when looking for RP contacts. Profiles are a good way to let folks know just the at-a-glance basics about your character(s).

I picked a simple theme with a simple layout that makes it easy to add and show off links. I put them in the blog desc to make them easy to find on mobile, too.

[Images: links from my blog sidebar menu showing how over organized I am]

RP, Stories, Lore Post some stories or RP logs (with permission of others involved) or even just random little blurbs and headcanons, as well as any screenshots, art, aesthetic posts for your OCs. Have something of interest to show for your character, too, so some of those folks your interacting with have something of their own to see and ask about!

If possible, try some light RP with friends and FC Mates who are amenable. Go to events, even if just to lurk at first. When you do get up the nerve to talk to people, don’t try to throw a character’s entire backstory at them, or try to steal the limelight--RP is collaboration, back and forth, and a lot like real conversation. Maybe come up with little light things to talk about if asked; a recent adventuring job, a silly shopping incident, etc. They can break the ice or just give you something to reply with for a few minutes.

Lore Compliance is Variable. Some people really want lore compliance, others are OK bending it here and there, while still others throw it out the window entirely. If you want to be super lore compliant...read. There’s a LOT of information, in game and out, for finding lore; from official publications and website material, to tools like Garland Tools site, to compilation blogs like @mirkemenagerie.

Note what’s important for your concept. Narrow it down. Characters aren’t going to know or be or do everything, so only worry about what’s necessary for the base idea. And be flexible; it’s SE’s sandbox, we just play in it, and they can change things any time. They usually do it in the guise of characters not knowing/having all the correct information, at least, but also some places just don’t exist in game yet so we don’t have info.

I’m unspecific about a lot of elements of Aeryn’s childhood, for instance, other than “traveling merchants near Thavnair.” I don’t have to be super specific. I can keep most details vague, and focus on her family and those relationships.

Dark, as my first character, has a fairly simple backstory that I’ve expanded on and adjusted over time as I learned and came up with new info. I also bet no one remembers I originally said Dark was from the North Shroud. I’ve changed things (now from East Shroud, due to the proximity to Gyr Abania and its Hellsguards) as I learned more about the world and my character. You don’t want to change things willy-nilly, but sometimes being flexible and smoothing down some rough edges and making small changes can be fine, especially as one gets more lore over time.

Iyna has a pretty detailed backstory, that came from a basic idea, and checking dates in the pre-Calamity timeline. I based her being taken and trained the way she was not only on what info we have about Garlemald’s imperial practices with conquered provinces, but borrowed a bit from real life and the re-education schools many Native Americans were forced into (though I haven’t gone into detail on that yet, either). I tied the turning point in Iyna’s life to a major event that wasn’t the Calamity, and have left plenty of space in between for me to fill in as time goes on and I learn more about her and the world.

The world isn’t static, and is bigger and more diverse than what can be shown in the game. There’s space in the margins for plenty of weird stuff and contradictions or unusual cases. So read up on what you can, ask questions, and then find where in those spaces your OC fits. Then, find people who enjoy similar tastes in lore compliance (or non-compliance), and who enjoy playing with you and your OCs, and not worrying about the rest. Can’t please everyone, nor get along with everyone, so don’t try; just find what works for you, and who works with you, and don’t police anyone else’s pretendy fun times, either.

There’s no magic answer on the “right” amount of lore compliance, or how to quickly and easily find RP partners or break into the broader RP community.

I hope this helps at least a little bit! Good luck in finding your niche for RP, and maybe I’ll see you sometime at an event :)

Fjorester moments in episode 72

WHAT A FREAKING GOOD EPISODE MY DUDES AND DUDETTES AND OTHERS

It was so wonderful in the best of ways, especially as a Fjord fan. 

I don’t even know where to start to break it down because SO MUCH happened! So be ready for a lot of rambling and screaming 

Cad: *Talking about how the Clay, Dust and Stone families were friends and allies once*

Jester: And lovers!

Fjord: Okay, Jessie. Just... pace it. 

Jester: They had a big orgy of Clay, Dust and Stone!

Fjord: Okay, the mist is getting to you a little quick here. 

I LOVE THIS BANTER SO MUCH IT’S SO FUNNY

FJORD IS SO AWKWARD AND SHE’S SO ADORABLE

also also

I STILL DIE EVERY TIME HE CALLES HER ‘JESSIE’

Fjord: I walk [into the water]

Jester: No, don’t walk in! Just put your finger in or something!

SHE’S SO WORRIED ABOUT HER IMPULSIVE DUMBASS 

POOR GIRL 

I think it’s low-key hilarious though that Jester, for all she can be a source of chaos in the group, has to turn into the voice of reason when it comes to Fjord’s impulses. 

It’s a funny little switch in their roles.

Jester helping Fjord with the falchion when he gets stuck. 

My favorite bit of that, though, it’s Matt’s narration because it makes it extra shippy? Like, it was just an assist and suddenly they are holding hands??

Matt: So as you’re about to wedge it out and lift, Jester walks over and puts her hands over yours and pushes in. 

Nice nice nice nice nice

Thank you, Mr. Mercer

Fjord: *starts to freeze because he put his head inside the water*

Jester: Aw :( Beau! Take care of- put the rod to Fjord’s head. 

Fjord: There’s really no need it’s just a- ahh

Jester: Is that better?

SHE’S ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF HIM AND IT’S SO SOFT AND REALLY I’VE SAID THIS BEFORE BUT FJORD GREW UP THINKING NO ONE WOULD LOOK AFTER HIM LIKE THIS AND NOW- NOW SHE’S THERE ALWAYS

Jester: Should we just, like, talk to the ghosts and let them know that we’re nice?

Fjord: Jester, you’re very... affable, why don’t you give them a word?

Jester: uh... hey ghosts!

IT’S THE HESITATION BEFORE THE WORD AFFABLE THAT KILLS ME GUYS

WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY? CUTE? ENDEARING? SWEET? NICE? SO MANY WORDS HE COULD’VE CHOSEN 

Fjord: *rolls his eyes at Jester reading Tusk Love*

Jester: Maybe I should not read this book anymore. 

Fjord: Distractions are good. Let’s keep going. Keep reading. 

Jester: Uhhh you want me to keep reading, alright. 

Fjord: It’s... not...

FJORD IS INTO TUSK LOVE CONFIRMED

Party: *discussing if the ghosts are following Cad or the group*

Fjord: One went up to Jester, though. 

WORRIED HUBBY IS WORRIED

this is, yet again, an instance of: Fjord pays extra attention to anything concerning Jester.

Jester using her eagle form to go for Fjord and Beau because they are og trio and she’s always here for them??? yessss

Jester: convinces the dawrves to let her write on their lore book

Cad: They can be a lot but I definitely vouch for them. 

Fjord: Aw, that’s nice Caduceus is vouching for you, Jester.

Jester: Yes, it really is!

Cad: Oh no.

FJORD + CLERICS IS SUCH A WONDERFUL DYNAMIC EVERY SINGLE TIME

Jester downright writing Captain Turkstooth fanfiction in the lore book —which will probably be considered Non-Fiction by future Dust generations. 

AND NOW

HERE WE GOOOO

FOR THE BIG CONVERSATION

OH BOY SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT

Fjord: Hey, Jester. 

Jester: Yeah?

Fjord: You still got that thing where you send messages to people? 

Jester: Yeah! 

Fjord: You got any left of those?

Jester: Yeah, I got a bunch of them. 

I’M ALREADY SCREAMING, REMEMBER HOW EMO I’VE BEEN ABOUT HIM BEING MINDFUL OF HER SPELLSLOTS WHEN IT COMES TO THIS THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS?

Fjord: Can I- Can I ask, like, a favor?

Jester: Of course! You can ask anything, Fjord. 

LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN SHE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HIM, SHE’S EVEN SURPRISED HE HAS TO ASK

Fjord: If I, like, conjured an image of what Vandran looks like, could you send him a message?

Jester: I could try, yeah. 

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR FJORD. HE’S KNOWN FOR SO LONG AND HAS BEEN HOLDING BACK FROM TELLING ANYONE. 

Honestly, I wonder what pushed him to finally make that call. If it was something from their chaotic past couple days or something else that made him finally reach out. 

I mean, I HOPED with all my heart that he would go to Jester for a message, but that was like WAY BACK WHEN THE PIRATE ARC ENDED and now here we are like 30 episodes later but it finally happened!

Jester: What do you want me to say to him?

Fjord: Would you just ask him- tell him that I’m okay and if- 

Fjord: I don’t know. 

Jester:

HE’S SO NERVOUS AND SHE’S SO SOFT FOR HIM 

Fjord: I wanna know how he’s doing but- Caduceus check in with the Wild Mother and said he’s trying to attone for his past. I don’t know. Maybe he doesn’t care to be found. 

Jester: Maybe he doesn’t know you’re alive, either. Maybe he’s been searching for you. 

Fjord: Guess that’s right. 

I KNOW JESTER IS BEING ALMOST TOO POSITIVE RIGHT HERE BUT SHE’S SAYING WHAT FJORD, DEEP IN HIS HEART, WANTS TO BELIEVE AND SHE JUST WANTS IT TO BE TRUE TOO SHE WANTS HIM TO BE HAPPY

Fjord: Would you do me a solid and just... do what you do?

Jester: Sure!

LOOK AT THE FONDNESS IN HIS FACE I CAN’T

Jester: Oh, I hope I’m not bothering him after what you guys said, maybe- It’s fine. 

Jester: Hello! You don’t know me. I’m here with Fjord. He wants you to know he’s okay, and he’s thinking about you. Where can he find you?

Vandran: You said you know Fjord. Hah. Haven’t heard that name in a while. Glad he’s doing well. Let him know I’m okay, retired on an island. Good folks, he’d like it.

LISTEN EITHER VANDRAN IS FULL ON LYING or he’s doing that thing that Fjord has been trying so hard to emulate —keeping emotional distance and not showing any weaknesses. I honestly believe that Vandran cares about Fjord and was delighted to hear he’s okay, but he’s not just going to say it like that, especially to a stranger. 

It really puts into perspective how guarded Fjord has been with the Nein while trying to emulate his mentor. 

Fjord: Sounds like he’s okay. 

THAT LINE KILLS ME BECAUSE HE SMILES BUT THERE’S SO MUCH PAIN IN HIS VOICE

Jester: He retired to an island?

Fjord: God, I’ve been so- I feel like I need to find him and I just don’t know if that’s important... to him. Don’t know if it’s important to me, we’ve done so much. 

THIS IS SUCH A BIG DEAL, ESPECIALLY COMING FROM FJORD AND HOW HARD IT IS FOR HIM TO TALK ABOUT HIS FEELINGS AND STRUGGLES

This really calls back to their talk post-Plank King trial, where he also opened up about how hurt he was by Vandran’s hidden past. 

He only ever talks like this with her... and maybe Cad. 

Jester: Yeah, but- I mean... the way you talked about him. If you need to find him, then you need to find him. 

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME, HONESTLY, BECAUSE FJORD IS SO QUICK TO LET GO OF HIS PAST BUT JESTER PUT SO MUCH WEIGHT ON HER FEELINGS SHE REMINDS HIM HERE THAT HIS FEELINGS MATTER TOO AND THAT HE SHOULD LISTEN TO HIS HEART

Fjord: I feel like I need to find him because I feel like I owe him, but if he doesn’t feel like that, maybe it’s all in my head. 

Jester: You know, messages are hard, because you can’t see the person’s face. It did take him quite a while to respond.

Fjord: Right.

Jester: or all he knows, I could be someone bad trying to get a response out of him. He might not want to reveal too much. 

Fjord: Sure.... he was smart like that. 

YOU CAN SEE HIS WHOLE BODY LANGUAGE CHANGE AS SHE MANAGES TO CHEER HIM UP, GIVE HIM A SLIVER OF HOPE JUST WHEN HE’S FEELING FORGOTTEN AND UNIMPORTANT

Fjord: Thank you.

HE ALWAYS SOUNDS SO SURPRISED BY HER KINDNESS

Fjord: It’s been a long time. I just don’t know if what I wanted before is the same thing I want now. 

HE SAYS AND RIGHT AFTER HE SENDS HER A LOOK LIKE PLS TRAVIS HAVE SOME MERCY

I AM MARISHA’S EYES EMOJI

Jester: How are you doing? You were very quiet when we were in Nicodranas. You stood on the ocean and didn’t say anything. 

Fjord: I feel like we’ve all changed.

Jester: Yeah

Fjord: Me especially.

Jester:

THAT FACE AND THAT LITTLE SIGH SHE LETS OUT, LIKE SHE WANTS TO DENY IT BUT ALSO FEARS DEEP DOWN THAT IT’S TRUE

Fjord: He’s such a brave man and he did so much for me, I just wanted to emulate that.

Jester: I know.

THERE’S SUCH A PAINFUL EAGERNESS IN HIS VOICE AS HE TALKS ABOUT WHY HE WAS EMULATING VANDRAN. LIKE HE NEEDS HER TO UNDERSTAND HIS REASONS, THAT HE WASN’T JUST LYING, THAT IT CAME FROM A GOOD PLACE.

AND SHE SMILES AND SAYS ‘I KNOW’

OF COURSE SHE DOES

SHE’S ALWAYS KNOWN, WHICH IS WHY DEEP DOWN SHE ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS A GOOD MAN

EVEN WHEN HIS DISTANT PERSONA MADE HER SECOND GUESS IT

THIS IS HER SAYING “I UNDERSTAND, IT’S OKAY” AND IT MEANS THE WORLD

Fjord: Repay that, pay it forward. I don’t know. I feel like I’ve been so obsessed with this sword and how I got it, and Uk’otoa and the whole thing and I just feel like there’s more out there. It’s always more. Even Port Damali and before that, my world just got bigger and bigger and bigger and- The more time goes on, the more you realize there is and the more we affect and the more we can be affected. 

THIS CONFESSION KILLS ME BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO LOUDLY ECHO JESTER’S OWN PAIN AND ISSUES, THE SAME FRUSTRATION WITH HOW HARSH AND HURTFUL THE WORLD CAN BE

THEIR LIVES EXPERIENCES SEEM SO DIFFERENT BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY ARE SO SIMILAR IN THEIR LONELINESS AND BOTH OF THEM FIGURING OUT THIS CRAZY WORLD TOGETHER

Fjord: And there’s a part of me that just wants to leave it all... behind?

AND THE WAY HE SAYS IT. HE SUDDENLY LOOKS UP TO HER AND ALL BUT REACHES OUT. 

THERE’S JUST A HINT OF YEARNING THERE THAT DESTROYS ME.

For someone who’s been so vocal about how much he loves this new version of himself and this life he has with his friends, this is probably the deepest confession, something he says almost ashamed, like he expects to hear he’s crazy... but Jester understands him so deeply, she’s as usual on the same page. 

Jester: Go somewhere quiet and disappear, and hope that it never bothers you again?

Fjord: Yeah.

Jester: Yeah, I understand that. 

IT’S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FANTASY FOR THE TWO OF THEM, JUST FINDING A QUIET PLACE SOMEDAY AND LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND

LIKE IMAGINE IF THEY THROWBACK TO THIS BY THE END OF THE CAMPAIGN 

AND HE ASKS ‘SO HOW ABOUT THAT QUIET PLACE?’ OR SOMETHING

Fjord: I just don’t think it will let me. I feel like I’m trying to force someone that’s not gonna happen on its own. 

BUT OF COURSE, THE MAGIC BREAKS BECAUSE REALITY IS WEIGHING HIM DOWN AND HE CAN’T EVEN DREAM ABOUT BEING AT PEACE, OF MAYBE RUNNING AWAY WITH HER ONE DAY. 

Jester: do you feel scared when you think of Uk’otoa?

Fjord: I try not to think of... Uk’otoa. 

Jester: I mean, that’s where your magical powers came from, yeah?

Fjord: Yeah. 

Jester: You can’t escape that.

AND THIS. LADYS, GENTS AND OTHERS, IS THE MOMENT WHEN IT GETS SCARY.

WHEN JESER LAVORRE LOSES HER EVER OPTIMIST OUTLOOK AND SAYS SOMETHING SO GRIM. 

But that’s also the moment, it seems, when Fjord FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY OPENS UP ABOUT SOMETHING THAT’S BEEN DRIVING HIM NUTS FOR WEEKS.

Fjord: They... left... for a little bit. 

Jester: What?

Fjord: There was a night. I woke up and the sword as on the floor and I- I couldn’t do anything. 

Jester: When was that?

Fjord: ......A while ago.

HE HESITATES SO MUCH IN THIS LITTLE BIT AND IT KILLS ME BECAUSE HE KNOWS SHE’S NOT GONNA BE HAPPY THAT HE KEPT IT A SECRET

Jester: Fjord! Why didn’t you say anything?!

Fjord: I didn’t know what to do.

THIS IS YET ANOTHER ADMISSION OF VULNERABILITY FROM FJORD AND IT’S SO UNUSUAL I LOVE HOW OPEN HE IS WITH HER

Jester: But it came back.

Fjord: In the middle of the day. We were setting that ambush and Yasha...

EXCUSE ME TRAVIS WILLINGHAM HOW DARE YOU

Fjord: Yasha was getting those bracers made and... they came back after a little bit but- I didn’t know if I was gonna run or what. 

I was fully expecting Jester to freak out at the possibility of Fjord running away, ngl, but instead we got like THE HEAVIEST MOMENT IN THIS CONVERSATION

The moment where Jester got even more serious. 

The moment where she finally asked the question that’s been eating her up for months. 

The moment of truth that probably triggered what happened later that same night and pushed Fjord to make the biggest change yet.

All from three questions.

Jester: How did you feel when they were gone?

Fjord: Terrified.

AND HE’S VULNERABLE AND PAINFULLY HONEST ABOUT IT.

Jester: Did you want them back?

Fjord: Yes.

Jester: Would you do anything to get them back?

AND THAT’S THE QUESTION, ISN’T IT??

THE WHOLE DEAL WITH THIS CONFLICT

THE MAKE IT OR BREAK IT

AND FJORD DOESN’T PEEL HIS EYES AWAY FROM HER FOR A SECOND, NOT EVEN WHEN HE TAKES A MOMENT LONGER TO REPLY, HE LOOKS HER IN THE EYE AND REPLIES WITH THE SAME HONESTY HE’S SHOWN HER FROM DAY ONE

Fjord: No

Jester: 

AND IN ANSWERING THAT QUESTION, I BELIEVE, FJORD SEALED HIS FATE. 

I don’t think he knew the answer, himself, until Jester asked, until faced with the choice right now and having to look at himself and be honest. 

And the answer is ‘no’. He won’t. And that means Uk’otoa can’t keep pushing him, blackmailing him, keeping him hostage. Because Fjord now knows, with all certainty, that no matter how desperate and terrified he feels without powers he will not give in. 

And that, it seems, is all he needs to know to free himself.

Fjord: No, but... I feel like I knew what I was doing and now I realize I had no idea.

Jester: You’re not the only one. 

Fjord: Yeah.

Fjord: Thank you. That might’ve been the... check in I needed.

THE CHECK IN HE NEEDED TO FINALLY FREE HIMSELF, IT SEEMS.

Also I love how he keeps thanking her?????

Jester: I wish I could be of more help, though.

Fjord: No, you have been. 

Fjord: I’ve known you the longest in this. 

Jester: 

I’M FREAKING SCREAMING WTF ÑLDJAFDLÑKAJFLÑAK

I’M FREAKING BLASTING SUNFLOWER AT FULL VOLUME

HIS VOICE IS SO SOFT AND WARM

HER SUPPORT MEANS SO DAMN MUCH TO HIM

I’M SOBBING

Jester: I mean... the Traveler gave me my powers. Maybe if you, you know, don’t follow Uk’otoa you could follow the Traveler! Or someone else who could give you powers that are even better!

LOOK AT THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER WHILE SHE OFFERS HER OWN DEITY TO HIM TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO HELP HIM HE’S SO SOFT

Fjord: How do you feel about Caduceus’s deity?

Jester: The Wild Mother?

Fjord: Yeah, Melora.

FJORD IS ALMOST HESITANT IN HIS ASKING BUT HE’S LOOKING AT HER WITH THOSE WIDE EXPECTANT EYES AND GOD HE TRUSTS HER SO MUCH AND HER OPINION IS SO IMPORTANT TO HIM AND HE REALLY HONESTLY IS ASKING FOR HER THOUGHTS IN THIS SUPER INTIMATE MATTER BECAUSE SHE IS THE ONE WHO KNOWS HIM BEST AND I’M JUST-

Jester: I mean, I saw her. When I was bringing Caduceus back.

Fjord: You did?

Jester: Mhmm. She popped in for a second. She... she seemed pretty nice. And she brought him back from the dead, I mean that’s always a good thing. That’s pretty powerful stuff. 

Fjord: Yeah.

Jester: He talks to her a lot. Not as much as I talk to the Traveler, you know, cause The Traveler’s always got my back and stuff but I mean, as far as other gods go she’s pretty good one.

WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE I CAN’T

FJORD’S FACE LIKE “WELL JESTER I DON’T THINK ANYONE TALKS TO THEIR DEITY AS MUCH AS YOU DO” I MEAN

Fjord: Okay

Fjord: I’m gonna see if she’ll... take an interest? I don’t know.

Jester: Wow!

SHE’S SO EXCITED AND HAPPY FOR HIM I WANNA CRY

Fjord: I don’t know how it works.

Jester: Me neither! We should figure it out! This is our new mission!!

SHE’S SO ON BOARD. SO READY TO HELP.

IF FJORD NEEDS HER THEN SHE WILL POUR HERSELF IN THIS

LIKE SHE’S BEEN DOING SINCE DAY ONE

Fjord: This- this is?

Jester: Yeah, remember, originally we were just trying to get you to that stupid accademy! That place is stupid! I hate that place!

Fjord:

Fjord: I don’t- I don’t mind having a new... mission. But if it is, can we just not... you know... tell everybody about... 

Jester: Alright! We won’t tell everybody but you and I will know this is our new mission. 

SHE’S SO HAPPY AND EXCITED TO HAVE A SHARED SECRET MISSION WITH HIM

THEY ARE A TEAM. THEY LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER. 

DFJAÑDFLJA

Jester: I would do anything to get you away from Uk’otoa, okay?

LISTEN

LISTEN

LISTEN

THIS KINDA DECLARATION OF PROTECTION AND SUPPORT DESTROYED ME 

BUT ALSO

THINK OF THE POSSIBLE ANGST OF JESTER TRULY TRYING TO INTERVENE AND A CERTAIN DEMIGOD NOT TAKING KINDLY TO IT UH??

I WANT P A I N 

but for now just fluffiness

Fjord: Okay

Jester: Okay.

Jester: Thank you for talking to me, Fjord.

Fjord: Sure.

Jester: Your tusks look pretty good coming in, by the way.

Fjord: Thanks.

THE PERFECT CUTE AWKWARD NOTE TO END THIS LOVELY CONVERSATION WITH

AND THAT WOULD’VE BEEN ENOUGH

BUT OH NO

THEN THE ANGST WITH FJORD AND THE SWORD

LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN OKAY

so 

way back when fjord lost his powers and told no one

and then he got all affectioned with jester

Travis talked about how the scare made Fjord value her constancy in contrast to the powers that he’d valued so much so far and could just be taken away at any given moment

He realized, a few weeks ago in-game, how much more important she is to him

So to have had this talk with her and have her entire support, finally coming clean about what happened and voicing his wishes for change and her being absolutely ride or die for him... and then losing his powers?

I am convinced that her input had a lot of weight in his final decision. 

Her asking him if he would do anything to get his powers back and him finally realizing no, he wouldn’t, was such a freeing moment, realizing he had the power to not be hostage of Uk’otoa anymore because even if the deity held his powers back it would not get what it wants from him

When the moment comes, he says “you need me more than i need you” and that is finally true because as much as he thought he needed his powers to be someone and be important, he now knows that he has something far more constant and powerful on his side, and that gives him the upperhand against uk’otoa

And he’s finally made up his mind, there is a plan, and there is Jester who will not stop until she finds a way to help him. 

And i want to believe that the moment he hesitated right before throwing the falchion into the lava, his mind flew back to that conversation and it gave him the strength he needed to free himself

I don’t expect this is the last we’ll see of Uk’otoa trying to screw with Fjord, honestly, but with Jester’s firm declaration of support, I expect they will be a united front against him in the future —along with the rest of the Nein, probably. 

Which brings us to

The morning after

Jester: Fjord, do you want some of my bead?

Fjord *in his og accent*: Yes, thank you.

Jester:

Fjord: 

Jester:

Fjord:

LOOK AT THEM COMMUNICATING WITH LOOKS LFDKJAÑFLDAJ 

I LOVE THEM

Jester: Fjord.

Jester *whispering*: You’re not doing the accent! You forgot about it!

IT’S SO FREAKING HILARIOUS THAT JESTER THINKS FJORD JUST GOT UP ONE MORNING AND ENTIRELY FORGOT ABOUT THE FAKE ACCENT HE’S BEEN PUTTING UP FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS

but it’s also adorable how she tried to warn him quickly, ever the protector of his secrets

Fjord: [To Beau, Cad and Nott] I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry to ght all of you. You [Caleb] caught up and [to Jester] you have known me the longest.

Jester:

Fjord: I haven’t been entirely foreright with you. I sound like this.

Jester: Well, yeah, I know.

Fjord: I know you know. 

Jester: oh

HE SOUNDS SO SOFT

I’M NOT READY TO LEARN ALL THE WAYS HE SOUNDS IN THIS ACCENT WHEN HE TALKS TO JESTER

ALSO THAT MARRIED BANTER IS SO CUTE

Nott: What do you mean you sound like this? Some times? All the time? Really?

Fjord: Most of my life, yes. 

Nott: What was that other thing you were doing?!

Jester: He was Vandran.

I LOVE THE CONTRAST

ABOUT HOW MUCH JESTER KNOWS

I think it might be good that he had this talk with Caleb before because he took this group confession much more in a stride, but he also didn’t know that it was Vandran’s accent iirc or that Jester knew, and the looks he was giving her were so much fun!

Jester [about his fake accent]: It was charming

Fjord: I threw the sword into the liquid steel last night.

Jester:

Jester: I thought you loved that sword!

[later]

Fjord: I talked to Jester just before we went to bed.

Fjord: And I said I felt like change was needed. I didn’t like feeling like a pawn or a puppet and I didn’t know where that was going to lead. Also, if that’s the last key before this thing is unleased why not destroy the fucking... key. So I threw it in.

Beau: So do you feel like you still have the balls inside of you?

Fjord: Let’s see. 

Fjord: *fails to disguise self*

Jester: What were you trying to do?

Fjord: Let out a fart.

Jester: 

Fjord: No.

Nott: You’re powerless?

Fjord: I think so.

THERE’S A NEW KIND OF GOOFINESS TO THIS FJORD WHO IS NOT TRYING TO PLAY VANDRAN THAT MAKES ME SO CURIOUS 

HE’S PLAYFUL, AND MAYBE IT’S HIS NERVES, MAYBE THIS IS HIM WHEN HE’S NOT TRYING TO ACT LIKE HE’S ALWAYS IN CONTROL 

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY

I CAN 100% SEE THIS FJORD BEING JESTER’S FIRST REAL FRIEND IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD, NERVOUS AND RAMBLY AND JOKING TO RELEASE THE TENSION, MAN SHE MUST HAVE LOVED HIM IMMEDIATELY 

HE’S JUST HER BRAND, EVEN MORE THAN WE EVER THOUGHT

Fjord: *is talking about his Uk’otoa dreams*

Fjord: *suddenly makes eye contact with Jester*

Jester:

Fjord:

Jester: *giggles*

Fjord: *snorts a laugh*

Fjord: *keeps talking about his missing powers*

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT WAS BUT I WANT 20 MORE OF IT PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Jester: But you said they came back before.

Fjord: It did

Fjord: That was also without throwing the sword into a pool of lava

Fjord: But yeah

Jester: He’s gonna be real pissed at you, Fjord. 

SHE’S SO WORRIED FOR HIM

also the faces he makes

it’s gonna take me a while to get use to these new mannerisms from him

Fjord: Jester sent a message for me last night.

Jester: 

soft soft soft soft

Fjord *after using the scorhing ray glove*: But it’s the glove

Caleb: yeah, but it’s on your hand. Hold on to that. [To Jester] Where is that whip?

Jester: Here?

Caleb: Yeah, you have things that are more useful than this.

Jester: You can also have my axe!

Nott: you can have my dagger

Caduceus: I also have a shield

Fjord *holding back tears*: oh no

I’M CRYING

YOU WANT ONE

TAKE TWO

TAKE EVERYTHING I CAN GIVE YOU 

THIS MOMENT WAS SO WHOLESOME AND FJORD FELT SO LOVED I’M EMO ALL OVER AGAIN JUST THINKING ABOUT IT

everything about this episode was wholesome and fed my soul

i’m gonna have to lay down until next friday to really digest all of it

expect further meta and ramblings 

i’m so excited for what comes next!!!!

[hcrsegirl]

╰☆╮MUSE 46 — wait, is that cerise “reese” du pont? is it just me or does the twenty-one year-old look exactly like abigail cowen? last i heard, they still weren’t over being exposed by the sentinel. according to the app, they can be credulous & turbulent, but i’ve also heard they're intrepid & audacious. can’t be too sure, people have a way of surprising you. all i know is that they remind me of vape scented smoke appearing in the middle of lecture , filming viral tik tok’s in public , the brushing down of a horse , forgetting a pencil but remembering to bring the juul to class & drinking homemade moonshine for barbie movie drinking games. honestly, the broadcast communications major should try to keep their head down. after the events of last semester, i wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. ╰☆╮

wow hey hi hello!! i’m kaya and this is my lil crackhead, reese!! this got really long because i never know when to shut up but if you want to plot pls hit me up here on tumblr or on discord at medieval 4loko gang#5402

P A R A L L E L S

gigi ( booksmart ) , keanu reeves ( always be my maybe ) , serena van der woodsen ( gossip girl ) , kirby anders ( dynasty )

T R O P E S

hard-drinking party girl , cloudcuckoolander , the trickster , upper-class equestrian , fleeting passionate hobbies , naive animal lover , fearless fool , playing with fire , parental neglect , fantasy-forbidding father

S U M M A R Y

born and raised in wilmington, delaware on the du pont family ranch, reese learned how to ride and compete on her family’s thoroughbreds. she’s a seasoned equestrian who typically competed in eventing and throughout the years had accumulated a series of ribbons and trophies between dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. definitely was a horse girl growing up and tbh still is???? definitely not the type to eat grass anymore BUT if given the chance she will not shut up about them.

a veterinarian before marrying into the du pont family, reese’s mother had their ranch doubling as both a home and veterinary clinic where the kids would help with the animals and keep them company. this caused reese to develop a soft spot for them, one that contributed to her going vegetarian at the age of 12 and eventually vegan at 15. it was also this love of animals that led her to wanting to help the environment they lived in and so her parents put her in girl scouts and eventually her love for the outdoors would cause her to join steinhardt’s outing club.

while her mother, eleanor, also helps out with the du pont family business of breeding thoroughbreds as well as run her clinic, her father, pierre, is a chairman of dupont, a conglomerate who got its start in the black powder market before expanding into chemicals for agriculture, materials science, and specialty products.

he was the type to have HIGH expectations for his family, expectations that reese never met. not that she cared to. definitely not a daddy’s girl, she’ll be the first one to call her father out for being a pompous douche straight to his face. probably quoted this to her father during a thanksgiving toast of “what are we thankful for this year”.

the black sheep of her family, even at a young age she could be found stirring up some trouble and almost always dragging one of her siblings or cousins along with her. a rebellious child who didn’t like being put into a box, she lived in a fantasy world of whimsy, often playing make-believe much to her father’s chagrin. she believed in all things fantastical from fairies to mermaids and while pierre tried to stifle those thoughts, they stubbornly remained.

even through her teenage years she’s held onto the firm belief that barbie lore is real. no one knows if she actually believes that or if it’s all of the drugs and her love for the movies getting to her head, but when confronted about it she will always be adamant that it’s a legitimate form of history.

speaking of history, her concept of it is slightly skewed?? def has weird beliefs of what communists are?? like you’re an android user??? suddenly she thinks you’re a communist????

tbh you could probably tell her something about anything and she’ll believe you without a hint of doubt. research?? she dunno her!! you could say the moon is a government con-job and she’d think it’s a fact??? super gullible and it’s a mess

i guess now would be a good time to preface that she’s dumb. stupid. an idiot. the list goes on but when i say she’s lacking brain cells… i mean it. the definition of head empty, she probably has a bunch of rocks where her brain should be sdfgh. but really, she can be innovative when she wants to be but academically she just doesn’t care to do well. in high school she ditched classes more often than not and was probably the kid smoking under the bleachers.

but where she lacks in intelligence she makes up for in brawn??? def the brawn over brains type who was a jock in high school. competed for her school’s equestrian team but also was on the fencing and archery teams. she once begged to be put into archery lessons after seeing the princess diaries 2 and fencing just came along not too soon after. she also used to run track and play soccer but those two sports ended after her senior year of high school although she probably still plays for the steinhardt’s intermurral league as well as any athletic competitions her sorority, tri-zeta ( zeta zeta zeta ) enters.

definitely the jack of all trades type except she’s passable at a whole bunch of things but good at none of them. probably can change a tire but it’ll need to be changed again soon. can bake a cake but it’ll be a little dry. the list goes on. she’s just very curious and picks up a lot of things but gets bored of them easily so she changes to the next thing.

okay i know i said she could bake a cake but she really…can’t. like with supervision she probably could but she’s impulsive and following directions for that many ingredients??? impossible. she just gets tempted to toss everything into a bowl and wing it and she does that every time. she can however make rice krispy treats. especially if they’re suppose to be edibles dfghj. but ya, don’t ask her to cook bc she can. not.

a stoner and overall drug connoisseur, she’s probably most known for being that kid who forgets to bring their backpack to class but don’t worry!! she remembered her juul!! has a collection of juuls on her person at all times. definitely that party girl who shows up hungover to class whenever she did bother to show up.

calls herself an entrepreneur because she used to sell edibles and other drug-related things and definitely was that tweet where she would give discounts if you signed an environmental petition or went to a protest.

has never said no to a dare EVER. you name it and she’ll do it. and if you dare her to drink cow titty milk or eat a piece of meat she’ll do it but it just makes you a dick dfghj

gets bored easily and tends to lash out and do something chaotic because of it?? the type to spontaneously light a couch on fire because she felt like it. a mild pyromaniac who once learned how to make a molotov cocktail. she can’t do it well. at all. but the one time she did try was also the same day she realized what a dumpster fire looked like.

i’m also not saying she’s out here to ruin your life for her own whims but like home girl has ZERO boundaries for anything. if you want to say she was a homewrecker in a past relationship??? honestly full send because it probably was her. morally she’s chaotic neutral and doesn’t care to be good or evil, she just wants to live her life of chaos and whatever happens happens. it should also be noted that she’s selfish. she puts herself first and others second always.

god someone pls try to start a fight with her. she’d either pat you on the head and ignore you OR go feral and just…foam at the mouth and bite you. probably claims to have gingervitis which is where she like…sprays vegan whip cream into her mouth and just… attacks you. for fun.

WOW ALMOST FORGOT but she’s a big larper!!! loves to go to the ones that are historical-esque where she can be an elf ( because she has a collection of elf ear tips dfghjk ) and acts as a knight/ranger by using her ACTUAL fencing, archery, and equestrian skills. she learned sindarin ( elvish ) for this but also she’s a big lord of the rings fan in general so it just worked out. her character’s storyline is her acting as her cousin, taay’s, protector but she has been known to enroll in a few competitions regarding any of her three skills.

currently selling moonshine alongside her roommates of trap zeta ( also known as the residents of the moonshine & roses subplot ) and so if you saw her running around with stolen pressure cookers, that is why !! making your own alcohol is illegal, but selling it??? even worse so they only sell it to trusted customers and anyone vetted by their usual customers. they probably have secret passwords and shit just like the prohibition period.

speaking of trap zeta, with the exception of fraternities on greek row, they throw the biggest parties. their jungle juice??? fire AND strong but also, they keep it in like....these dispensing chugs with a key so the only ones with access to fill them up or trap zeta themselves. they also have a stripper pole ( or two ) around their living room so like...ya get lit, get twisted, go off ig.

let it be known that their sorority, tri-zeta, is actually known for their stellar amount of community service but after the residents of trap zeta moved in together their sophomore year, the rep for partying started to increase and that’s why the home of muse 46-50 is nicknamed trap zeta. reese has probably been sent to standards way too many times and only got in and is still in bc her mother is a very generous alumni of steinhardt’s chapter of tri-zeta. 

a broadcast communications major, she’s a social media intern for steinhardt’s barstool page but most importantly has a whole tik tok account alongside her roommates dedicated to their college antics. think the hype house except it’s not pg-13 dancing and rly just their crackhead, drunk antics. might eventually make a playlist of tik tok’s that are probably posted on their account, we’ll see.

okay so you know the whole exposing of secrets from last semester??? reese doesn’t usually get mad but rn she Big Mad. like not only are they be scrutinized by the dean but their sorority is too and suddenly tensions are high between tri-zeta bc if trap zeta gets caught they all suffer and their chapter will be shut down and it’ll be a whole ass mess. atm she suspects their customers and even their somewhat rivals, the drug dealers of the ludes plot, but does she suspect anyone from the house??? no not rly

you can find her  stats page here and a wc page here

you can also find her pinterest board here

i also have a reese playlist here and a trap zeta playlist here

[clownmoontoon]

i did a lot of research on the eeveelutions, yes bc i love them, but also bc i wanted to make a more accurate eeveelution personality quiz than the ones ive seen around!

and i wanna share w you guys some neat eeveelution facts most people dont know! ^o^)/

(if you would like to take the quiz i made send me an ask and i’ll link you! ^u^)

♡eevee: the only one of the eeveelutions (and one of the only pokemon that i know of) described as a mutant pokemon. their cells are so strange and unlike any other pokemon which is why they can evolve into so many different types. in other words, by pokemon standards, eevee is a total weirdo. its body automatically adapts to its surroundings! eevees can live p much anywhere yet they are most commonly found in cities also eevees are described as "naive" in quite a few pokedex entries but they are aware that they are cute. they just dont fully know how to use it to their advantage like sylveon does haha but they can learn moves like "charm" and "fake tears" to use their looks to garner mercy from an opponent/attacker!

♡vaporeon: the only eeveelution that can become its element! vaporeons have the ability to actually turn into water when in water  >83c (part of the whole mutant cell thing) according to legends within pokemon lore when people would see vaporeon swimming in the ocean they often believed they saw mermaids! (hence the mermaid aesthetic question in the quiz). also unlike other eeveelutions who actively want to be around people (like eevee, flareon, and sylveon) vaporeon is very comfortable being on its own, while also being very comfortable around people. its never really lonely either way c:

♡jolteon: this poor thing is the most emotionally fragile of all the eeveelutions ;; and its not even like a singular personality trait THIS IS JUST HOW JOLTEON ARE they are extremely sensitive and totally wear their hearts on their sleeves. they love big, and they hate big haha they do a thing where they store negative ions within their fur and then when needed (or when they feel like it) they lash out BIG TIME w a mighty electric attack. supposedly jolteon are the hardest to train out of the eeveelutions bc they take EVERYTHING personal. are you hanging out w one of your pokemon more than your jolteon? jolteon will be hella offended. do you have a new love interest in your life? jolteon is offended and hurt you need someone more than jolteon. etc basically trust is a HUGE issue for jolteon so you really need to have a tight bond/relationship with one in order for it to feel secure and happy. but if you CAN do this then you have a MIGHTY ALLY. bc jolteon is one of the strongest eeveelutions! and is the absolute fastest! a good ally and friend who will always come to your aid UuU i hate how misrepresented jolteon is bc most people try to make it this super edgy/mean pokemon but according to nintendo jolteon is the one eeveelution who really wants a hug the most ;w;

♡flareon: this puffball is the ultimate cuddle beast and will love you most of all the eeveelutions! (except maybe sylveon) it is the shortest, chubbiest and weakest of all the eeveelutions. but gosh darn it tries its best. think of it like a toy breed of dog. it can bark really loud but its not really made to pull a sled or anything. what it wants most is to be by your side but it wont be offended if you dont pick it for battle haha

♡espeon: the only eeveelution that is the MOST mythologically based, espeon's design pulls from about 3 or 4 different legendary mythical creatures found in japanese, chinese and latin folklore! also it is the only eeveelution specifically based on a cat, despite eevee (and the other eeveelutions) being dog based. its the only eeveelution aware of its beauty (besides sylveon) and while it doesnt really use it to its advantage for anything, espeon are known to just...admire their reflections bc theyre so pretty haha its also one of the weaker eeveelutions and not really fond of fighting or anything that would mess up its beauty in any way. it will fight if it has to, or if in battle for you, but theyre content if they never fight at all haha

♡umbreon: THE MOST MISREPRESENTED OF THEM ALL OH MAN umbreon is A TOTAL SCAREDY CAT its scared of EVERYTHING its the only eeveelution who has created a fear based defense mechanism! it has poison sweat :I so if it starts sweating bc its scared out in the wild (which is p often) it sprays its sweat to make a quick get away! ALSO ESPEON AND UMBREON ARE THE FIRST EEVEELUTIONS EVER TO EVOLVE THROUGH HAPPINESS AND FRIENDSHIP umbreon is not some creepy/evil/loner omgg they adore people and pokemon and cant wait to make friends!!

♡leafeon: the only eeveelution described as a "pacifist pokemon" they NEVER want to fight pls dont put them in battle bc you will just make your leafeon very unhappy. it hates the thought of hurting anyone ;; they also always smell good! it is said that young leafeon smell like fresh grass and old leafeon smell like dried leaves. leafeon dont eat like other pokemon. they gain energy through photosynthesis like a plant, so there is always clean air surrounding a them UuU

♡glaceon: the most adaptable of all the eeveelutions! (besides eevee ofc) it can live comfortably in a volcano as well as an iceberg its the only eeveelution that can regulate its body temperature meaning that if it does live in a volcano it can make its body temperature low enough to be comfortable there! also they are similar to vaporeon in that they are happy and comfortable around people as much as they are alone in the wild. either way they can be happy. however if they do make a friend (human or pokemon) and that friend betrays their trust in some way (hurting them or smth) glaceon will literally build a thin wall of ice around its entire body so that the one who hurt them can literally never touch them again if you hurt a glaceon you’ve lost them forever u_u

♡sylveon: THE MOST EXTROVERTED OF THEM ALL sylveon LOVE being the center of attention and would NEVER be happy in the wild they wanna be surrounded by lots of people and pokemon who will tell them they are pretty all the time haha sylveon is the most confident of them all too it is one of the most powerful of the bunch AND KNOWS IT and is one of the most pretty/lovely to look at AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS TOO haha they hold the ones they love very dear to their hearts and love to "hold hands" aka wrap their ribbons around the hands of the one they love while they walk around w them. it loves to battle!! p much any chance to be the center of attention is a-ok w a sylveon haha also, even if it is incredibly strong, sylveon still really enjoy outsmarting their opponents they have the ability to trick and outwit them w their sweet looks and they do it often haha sylveon are no angels if you are not someone they already hold close then they will happily try to outwit you to get what they want

AND THERE U GO LOTS OF FACTS!! \(OUO)/ i could go on and on about the eeveelutions aaa i love them so much ;u; i hope you enjoy reading about them!!
