I love these fools so much. I hope in the end they stay together or keep in touch. I heart them its like the dad who didn’t want a cat but loves the cat
Okay I know this has probably been said before, but like-- the way tallman Chilchuck carries Marcille around (albeit like a football but still), the way he braids her hair like his daughters' later-- I may be way off but I kinda feel like in the same way we all looked at tallman Chilchuck and went 'wow yeah his age really hits home now' the middle-aged Chilchuck looked at a (early twenties-equivalent?) Marcille who was now translated into his own race and just went 'ah shit that's a baby'
tfw u go to live with ur cool dad who definitely isn’t a horrible person and ur gonna be happy and never worry about anything ever again cause this is a fresh start to ur new life

some notes:
aside from basil's parents' general design and the implication that they're busy and rich, everything else about his family outside of his grandmother is cat's headcanon!
the flowers assigned to each family member are olive blossom (oliver), dahlia (dahlia), sea aster (oliver's father), goldenrod (elijah), rosemary (rosemary), and azaleas (basil's grandmother)
the flowers in the last part represent the people (new and old) in basil's life!
dahlias are in the same family as daisies and sunflowers!
basil's dream of his family tree/garden is inspired by the meadow in headspace
spirit mari takes the form of her 15 year old self to basil, as he never wants to turn away from the truth again
thank you again for the patience and encouragement as we worked on this!! i honestly wouldn't have gotten through this much work over the months if i wasn't in love with what cat wrote, so i hope you enjoy it! 🫶
