something something Terra calls Raine sprout which is inherently diminutive, putting them down, making them small whereas Eda refers to them as a force of nature.

edit :

this is why I love you.

anyway Melina KB's song Force of Nature is a very Raine-about-Eda song and I cannot be convinced otherwise.

Fiery red curls Hell upon earth Karma scheming, tarot reading, type of it-girl Feminine gaze Evergreen lace Her heels cut through pavement like it's papier-mâché

She takes a seat next to me Guess my grades are history Studying the way she signs Her name in calligraphy Perfume smells like apple spice Bergamot, jealousy

Hate the boys she dates Makes my stomach ache She's a force of nature no one can tame Shake the magic eight I am not afraid Of a force of nature, her dangerous ways I'd fall into her embrace

[...]

Hands in the backseat My fogged-up jeep Past curfew sneakin' out to Leave my fear at home 'Cause every bone in my body Hopes that you want me

[...]

Hate the boys she dates Makes my stomach ache It's not in my nature to walk away Shake the magic eight I am not afraid Of a force of nature I can replace the boys she dates They make my stomach ache She's a force of nature no one can tame Shake the magic eight Swear I'm not afraid Of a force of nature, until she breathes

“Hey” (Hey) “I've toyed with fate I've strung up hearts Cut loose the stars So you'll believe You're the force that's driving me”

Eda mini headcanons snagged from the old blog and slammed into one post :

Eda can see remarkably well in the dark, but in turn has a more difficult time seeing in well lit situations. Bright lights ( ie spotlights ) can practically blind her. The night vision is particularly handy when catching students who tried to sneak out in the dead of night, or furry sons when they try to sneak into the kitchen. Eda can sit in complete darkness and see what's happening around her fairly well.

Yes, she molts. Once a year, and she hates every dang second of it. For about a week, she sheds feathers consistently and is just unbearably itchy. As one might expect, she becomes utterly pitiful during this time. Take pity on the big bird lady, she itchy.

Eda uses the same hand cream as Dell, a heavy duty sort that is good for people who work with their hands. It was something of a habit to buy the same one, because she used it when she would carve with him as a girl.

Eda's primary love language is physical touch. Despite the fact that she wasn't much of a hugger before Luz, she's always been particularly prone to touching the people she cares about : a hand on the shoulder, rubbing their back, ruffling their hair. This only gets worse if she's romantically involved with the other party. In that case, she doesn't seem to be happy if she isn't making contact with them in some way.

Raine kissed Eda first, but Eda said I love you first.

( ...okay, Raine may have kissed Eda first, but she did outright tell them they could before they did. )

Eda takes up space, and encourages the people around her to do so as well. By this, I mean physically. She's always been a taller lady, and while there was a very brief time in her teen years where she was insecure about this, she got over it when she realized that pretending to be small made her feel small. So, she sits with her legs spread on her couch. Holds her hands behind her head, elbows out, when walking through the market. She has zero qualms with making people get out of her way.

Relating to the above, however, she always gets down on someone's level when she's speaking to them, even if she has to outright crouch in order to do so.

Eda absolutely used the body swap spell on the Hagside squad. She managed to rope Lilith, Raine, Alador, and Darius in on it as well. It was... an interesting day, to say the least.

Eda runs hot. Like, hot hot. She's practically a space heater for her partners.

@stardustedstories : hey bitch (affectionate); I wrote a thing about Raine's thoughts at the petrification; now it's your turn to write a thing about Eda's thoughts after Raine forced themself over to her so they could save her on the Day of Unity

Oh, ow.

Alright, realistically, she'd always known this was going to hurt; Darius and Raine had been fairly thorough in their explanation of what to expect, but she had to go and be her usual, boastful self. Couldn't imagine it could be worse than having your bones rearranged into those of a giant beast.

Jokes on her. Darius gets to give her a solid "I told you so." Thinks he might have, if he were still conscious.

— speaking of.

The world fades back in suddenly, the sounds of struggling and screaming having faded off to little more than pained groans and cries. Forcing herself upright — the most she could do, as getting to her feet seemed an impossible task — Eda clutched to her wrist, watching as her corrupted magic seemed to overtake whatever power was held within the sigils. Crawling up her arm, still coursing white-hot through her veins, until it felt as if it would overtake her.

That worst fear, coming true. Just not in the way she'd ever anticipated.

She hadn't heard them approaching. Through her own agony, it would've been easy to miss the shuffling of a body across the stonework. It wasn't until they took hold of her wrist that Eda even realized she wasn't alone.

And it was Raine. Of course it was. Even at the end of the world, it would be Raine.

When she speaks, her voice sounds strange, even to her own ears. Strained. Scared. That small part of her that was prepared to lose now taking over, resigned to this fate. At least we got the kids out. At least they're far, far away from all this.

"Raine?"

Had they even heard such a meek tone from her? She can't say, but they do smile — strained and tight though it may be.

"I promised..." The hold they have on her wrist tightens minutely, as though it was taking all the strength they had left to hang on. "...a special kid, I'd protect you."

There was no chance for questions. No opportunity to talk them out of whatever madness they were about to do. In one swift movement, Raine tugged and — as it had done a hundred times before, her arm dislodged. That little curse side effect now finally serving a use as what remained of her arm turned to dust in their hold. With the sigil gone, the magic pulled just as swiftly from her veins.

And they collapsed, taking what glimmer of hope she'd felt with them.

unprompted ( ish. you don't wanna know how long this has been in my inbox. )
