#Daisy Terramortis

[the-uninformed-zennial]

Alright, so we have officially reached over 750 followers on Twitch (thank you all for that), and that means I get to give you all a little lore reveal for Terramortis.

Spoilers for Terramortis below;

Last time I streamed Terramortis, Daisy had a fall, spaced out for a minute, and came back with no memory of where they were and an uncomfortableness with using the name “Daisy” and she/her pronouns. This aspect of Daisy preferred to go by the name “E” and acted very differently then how we’d seen Daisy in the past.

Daisy had been having small lapses in memory as early as the first episode they were in, but this was the first time we saw them fully change mannerisms and demeanor in response to it.

That is because, as many of you correctly guessed, Daisy is canonically a system.

I will not be labeling them as any one specific diagnosis as I am not a medical professional, and Daisy doesn’t canonically have access to one to be able to get that diagnosis anyway. Daisy is based on my personal experiences as a system and while I do have a diagnosis, that isn’t something I want to confine Daisy to.

As much as I would love to be able to make a character that every system would relate to and see themself within, Daisy’s journey of being a system is not going to be the same as everyone else’s. It isn’t even the same as mine. But it is a careful amalgamation of many system’s stories and lived experiences combined with my own and shared with you all through the very small lense of Minecraft RP. I apologize in advance for the lack of representation in certain areas this portrayal will certainly have, and I urge anyone watching to keep in mind that each system is as varied and different and unique as each and every person, so if Daisy’s journey doesn’t match your own that doesn’t make you any less valid. It doesn’t make your experience any less real.

There is such a lack of open, clear, and truthful representation of systems in media. So when I got the opportunity to make a new character with Terramortis, I really wanted to be able to change that. Even if it’s just one character on a silly minecraft smp.

I have not been incredibly open with my diagnosis as system in public spaces, but I think in order to lend credibility and honesty to this portrayal it’s important to be candid with you all about it. I will still be keeping many things about that experience private and I’d prefer if no one draws a large amount of attention to it. But now that I’m out, I just wanna say to other systems out there; you aren’t alone. You aren’t making things up. Your experience is valid.

Thank you 💕

I am having so many feelings about Leo (and the rest of the bug family) right now.

He has a history of abandoning people, if Julius is to be believed (which. I don’t trust Julius a ton, but it tracks). It’s so out of character for him to settle down that Julius laughs about it. He’s constantly denying the (correct) allegations that Daisy and Owen are his kids.

But.

He brought both Owen and Daisy home. He built a castle for Bestie and Lord Featherington the third. He let Owen hide behind him while they were talking with Julius, and reassured them that Julius wasn’t going to hurt them.

He cares about them, and I feel like they’re gonna drag him through character development whether he likes it or not

I have so many thoughts about the Terramortis siblings, guys. Namely about their relationship to small dark spaces.

Owen is a roly-poly, now I don't know how much one's specie actually affects a person, but let's say it does to some extent. So Owen likes small and darker spaces, he associates them with safety. We can see this in a) him seeing the dark woods as safe - he doesn't need light, he has his own! Plus the darkness hides him, the darkness is safe and b) in the siblings' room, Owen has made himself a little lair, covered by curtains and blankets, dark and cozy

On the other hand Daisy is a moth. Moths love light, we all know this. What I think is more interesting though is what Daisy hates. Now, I don't think this has even been really eluded too, but I believe Daisy hates small spaces. This theory so far is only supported by her appearing in Purgatory underground and by her wanting a loft in the room she shares with Owen.

I also believe that Daisy would prefer the sunrise while Owen prefers the sunset. As for Daisy a sunrise meant work on the farm, probably her being focused on work meant that she was left alone and could spend time with the animals. On the other hand for Owen the sunset meant that he was hidden, that he was safe until the next morning came about, until he would have to go back out and be tormented by his bullies.

So yeah, I have way too many brainworms about the siblings.

We wanted sibling banter and Minecraft just said “no actually”

[moocfitab]

Connor, Beck, Zenni.

If we don't get a moment of either Daisy or Owen accidentally calling Leo Dad in a fit of panic or fear, I will sue /j /silly

I will also accept Leo calling either of them Kiddo to help calm them down

*cough cough* Owen has a panic attack over memories and Leo comforts him

*Coughs louder* Leo finds daisy crying abt something and helps her feel better

time for more bug lore :)

Blorbo Fun Fact #7:

Daisy is a really light sleeper. She’s likely to wake up with a start at even the slightest creak of a floorboard. Though usually she can calm herself down and get back to sleep once they know there’s no one there.

She still can’t figure out why they always fear it’s going to be someone stumbling into their room to yell at them.

ARARARARAA ME WHENNNN

I have a little bit of an art dump.

I was camping last week and spent a lot of time finishing and starting new stuff so I figured I'd just post it all together.

[amiactuallydoingthisblog]

No you don’t understand he had a older sibling who had to wake him up and drag him to school and then Daisy woke him up and dragged him outside they are siblings your honor

Late night Terramortis thoughts. I know that we know very little about the world so far, but we do know a few things.

One thing we know is that when a person dies, they appear along with a new spot, right?

Owen appeared with a dark forest that seemed familiar

Sunflower appeared in a flower forests with massive amounts of daisies.

Daisy appeared burried beneath the very same spot Sunflower did.

Now I am assuming that these things means something. Which makes so many questions bubble up in my brain.

Are these places indicators of how the bug died? Or how they lived?

Did Owen appeared in a dark forest because that is where he met his demise? Or because he spend more time there, cowering in fear?

Did Sunflower die surrounded by flowers? Or did it live surrounded by beautiful people that it felt it couldn't reach?

Was Daisy buried alive? Or did they spend their days burying their head in the sand? Hiding away from the ones surrounding them?

Many questions, eventually maybe answers. Anyway I am going to bed. Hev out.

Hi going to highlight something I love-

and that's Beck's (PossiblyAwesom) acting

The past two streams (A boundSMP stream and TerramortisSMP stream) plus all the previous ones but those two are fresh in my brain- it's just kind of hit me.

Terramortis especially. Owen's nervous behavior, semi-panicky efforts to ease the conflict and just watching quietly when he cant- almost like he's watching for danger. Like a scared cat trapped in a cage.

Leo is uncomfortable, so Owen is uncomfortable. Daisy is bubbly as always, chatting along with Julius. Owen's always watching for that line, for something to snap, to go wrong, and how he can stop that and fix that before it happens. The issue is here that there's nothing he can do. Leo and Julius aren't anyone he can sway with fixing things.

And Beck portrays this so well- to the point where I can feel that sensation (Don't worry, it doesn't effect me past that!). The perfect tone, stutters, the usage of the in-game glow effect when someone says something that makes him nervous, etc- it's so great. Even the particular of Owen sticking so close to Leo but immediately backing up the second he lights a cigarette.

Additionally- Sylph is a character I'm becoming increasingly attached to. He's overexcitable and a bit abrasive but well meaning. But after Gaverin called them childish- repeatedly during interactions with Rune, Rune says things like "Don't do that-" or sort of mild, unintentional scoldings-

And Sylph's energy drops. And she goes quieter, muttering "i know"s or "I wasn't going to-"s. Because those comments sort of prove something- that he's childish. At least that's how he's taking those comments. Thats what they think they prove.

And I just thing that's really neat honestly- the depth of all these characters arararararara

[the-uninformed-zennial]

Exactly

Daisy "Please Leo!"

Leo immediately "Fine, I guess you can have anything you want forever."
