To be fair though, the project is so early on still the Lark's voices have been changing so much so quickly. In Harpy Hare Clemmie had a very clear and bright, high pitched voice which then changed to something nasal and whispery by Songs of Origins.
Cole's voice has gotten so much deeper too which is why I think Perrine's voice sounds so high now, they may have swapped out Cole and Perrine on that front.
Everytime I see someone addressing The Lark's line distribution they always mention how Perrine and Kingsley never sing and for Kingsley that might be true but Perrine??? Perrine has the second most lines!! More than Clemmie by far. They sing half of all their songs essentially. At least I thought so. I feel like the difference between Cole and Perrine's voices are so distinct (Perrine's is so much more smoother and melodic whilst Cole is a little more breathier and raspy I dunno it's hard to explain).
"Hazel beneath our claws..."
"Foolish dreamer, be awakened.."
And the verses in Harpy Hare are all led by Perrine! I suppose it's not necessarily confirmed but I always thought it was obvious?
Perrine sings everyone!
You can always tell it's Perrine cause it sounds like Cole but shifted a little lower and softer. Cole does not sing soft like that!

Meadowlark headcanons !! (There’s a lot.)
-Kingsley ate a cricket once and forced everyone else to eat one.
-Clémmie choked on their cricket.
-Cole threw up.
-Perrine refused to eat the cricket at first but eventually agreed to eat it and they choked as well
-Kingsley accidentally breaks bones regularly (both theirs and somebody else’s)
-Clém loves stuffed animals and has a million
-Cole drinks a lot of tea
-Since Clém loves stuffies and Cole loves tea the have tea parties together
-Perrine hates most people
-Kingsley climbs trees and will jump scare anybody walking past the tree that they’re in by hanging down from a branch like a bat and screaming at the top of their lungs
-Clém sews a lot and makes little outfits and accessories for their stuffed animals. They also repair any ripped parts of the Lark’s costumes
-Cole gets sick a LOT. It’s not because they eat dirt or don’t wash their hands or something (like Kingsley), but they just have a weak immune system
-Perrine sews as well, and they also do a lot of chores. The others offer help but they decline because they think they’re being lazy if they don’t work all the time
-Cole sometimes makes little drawings on paper while they’re composing because they get distracted (or because it helps them envision the story of the song if they’re drawing)
-Kingsley has the worst handwriting. Literally only Perrine has managed to read it
-Clémmie, however, has amazing handwriting because its mother made them learn to write in super fancy cursive as a kid
-Perrine, Cole, and Clém all like reading to themselves. Kingsley prefers being read to instead of being the one reading.
-Kingsley is 10-11
-Clémmie is 12-13
-Cole is 13
-Perrine is 13-14
-Perrine keeps their feelings to themself most of the time (because of their parents) but when its alone they just scream into a pillow
-Cole is really loud and energetic on stage but if a member of the audience comes up to them and started trying to ask questions or make conversation they panic and get extremely anxious and just nod and try not to cry
-When they’re performing Harpy Hare, Kingsley just does a little dance or cartwheels around the stage because they don’t really have any lines in the song
-Kingsley sees a bug, Cole screams to kill the bug, Perrine tries to kill the bug, Clém gets upset that they’re trying to kill the bug and brings the bug outside under a cup or something
-Clém would love dress to impress
that was a lot lol 😭

Death is the natural end to the cycle of life. It will happen to all things, big and small.
Sometimes, though, that end comes too abruptly. Too unfairly. And it isn't right.
But there is also a balance. A scale that must always be equal.
Nothing is free. Not even a life.
--
“You, who weaves the past, and you,” they point a sharp, trembling talon at the Bellringer, “who rings the bell of the future. Together, you can fix this. Undo this.”
“Oh, my dear,” the Bellringer murmurs. “I wish we could, truly, but the dead are meant to stay—”
“They are not meant to stay!” the Croon cuts them off, their voice like the rumble of the earth about to crack open. “Perrine belongs to me. They were a part of me—connected. I felt them die. Do you know what that’s like? To feel that cord snap?”
“No,” says the Storyteller. “And we’re so terribly sorry that you had to feel that and that this had to happen, but…there is a cost. If we undo death, chaos will spread far beyond your control.”

Had to post this late because below is like a whole indepth analysis of this drawing + Perrin's history
Happy Birthday Perrin!!! It's really been 10 whole years... it's honestly astounding to even say this. Lil bro's so old...
Ok! if you clicked the keep reading button, expect to be here for a while, for i will be walking you through every single design and aus in this drawing and the history behind it!!
Perrin, or his old name, Peater, is a silly, bastardly little boy that has the magical powers to make people's dreams into reality. But that's just his canon lore. He also used to be a winged swordsman, a kirby with a repeater hat, and a little alien that escaped a lab. In different universes, he's a phantom thief, a god, a demon, or just a simple schoolboy!
Essentially, I use him for almost any story ideas that i find cool. He's one of the first ocs that I made and he gets involved in almost anything due to him being the favorite oc. His personality, still, has been very consistent, but you should just read his Toyhouse page if you wanna learn more because I don't want this to get any longer than it already is rn
Ok! Let's get started on the first design!!
~ Kirby Era ~
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before Perrin was a human, he was a puffball!
I used to be a huge PvZ and Kirby fan (still is) and so Perrin was born as a combination of both of those things. The general gist is that its a Kirby with a Peashooter hat. Simple enough.
The left design however, was I think another concept for Perrin that I had earlier or around the same time as Kirbypeater (this is the name for the Kirby version of Perrin) So I also considered that design a Perrin design as well. Also it's just super fucking funny because of how much it stands out. It straight up looks like a Mary Sue.
These two designs have absolutely zero lore, most of their lore will be coming with the next designs!!
Tumblr media
2015 was honestly peak Kirbypeater era in terms of development. I drew him a LOT and gave him some personality and powers.
There were also a lot of design variations aside from these four (ignore the human one for now) most of them comes down to his bandanna color, his shoes, and whether he's wearing the repeater hat or not.
I was also a big Strikeforce Squad fan during that time so I reaally reaaally wanted him to be part of the lore and be a member lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can notice that I changed the Peashooter to Repeater, which is my favorite plant in pvz. Around the end I changed it to Primal Peashooter, but that change was something I ended up not approving of in the future.
The katana is inspired by Zoro from One Piece, which is my fav OP character. His swordsman skill came extremely early on. The green hair guy (the one that got hit by the pea) is just mid 2015 Kirbypeater without the hat. Sometimes he has black hair however, which hairstyle was based off of Len Kagamine/Glutamine (the utaite)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
~ 2016 - 2017 ~ The Blue Bitch Era
Tumblr media
Sadly, the Kirbypeater era has now come to an end, because shortly after 2015, I decided to transition from drawing little funny kirby creatures to little funny boys.
Okay, let's go back to the guy riding the roadroller, because that was Perrin's first human design !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The roadroller was a reference to this vocaloid song, if you didn't know already.
The first human design takes the black hair design from Kirbypeater, and the sweater was clearly inspired from my Undertale obsession back then 😔 little did he know that sweater was gonna stay for so damn long...
The part that did not stay long however were the green eyes and the black hair, that drawing was mostly a proof of concept only and didn't really reflect on what he'd become later.
ngl, this drawing is pretty damn good for a first time. I think i really didn't want to screw up back then.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
THEN OUT OF NOWHERE?? HIS SWEATER THEN TURNED BLUE!!
I call this little era the blue bitch era because the sweater he wore turned blue for no damn reason, like no, you're suppose to be green, not blue... the disappointment i hold is immense right now.
Other than the blue, his iconic green hair first appeared during this time!! I also changed his eyes to brown, maybe as a way to make his design more grounded to real life? at least i think thats what little me was going at.
The second picture is the first AU i made for Perrin, based off of my playthrough of Pokemon Crystal where I named my pokemon after my Sony Sketch friends (hence Pokesketch.) Perrin would be the trainer and yeah.
I have no fucking idea what I was cooking for the third reference sheet, I think i wanted to imitate the ref sheet style a friend had and ended up making something INSANELY cringe. the undertale fan stink radiates off of that drawing and you guys are free to make fun of it as much as you want.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
alright!! now its this fucker!!
this design was made as a sort of inside joke between my friends one day, where all of us just decided to have the same profile pic and name as this one other friend. the pfp (center) was of their ink sans oc and it was fucking funny as hell
it lasted like one day but i think that design is too good to not include in the art piece. you can see him fighting the chara perrin guy as a little nod to their similar inspirations #iloveundertale
~ 2018 - 2019 ~ Ninja Perrin makes an appearance ! Also these weird guys are here for some reason.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This era is kinda weird because there's nothing really stands out in terms of changes. But that's ok! Life isn't always just bumps and... idk where i was going with that uh anyways NINJA PERRIN
Tumblr media Tumblr media
his swordsman ass is back again and now as a funny ninja guy!! honestly i cant recall lore wise why he was a ninja but i think it mightve been based off of naruto (i dont even watch naruto) also wow look guys his sweater finally stopped being blue! and now he has shorts!!!
also scratch that entire part about me saying there wasnt any significant changes because there was a time where i almost made perrin's hair NOT GREEN. that's right. absolutely BLASPHEMOUS. i shouldve been pelted with rocks for even considering such things.
but being real, i think a part of me back then felt? insecure about the fact that perrin's hair was an unnatural color for a while? green especially was not a common color to use back then so i felt like people didn't like him for that reason so i changed it to brown for a while to see if i liked it. uh spoiler alert i didnt and i changed it a month later i believe.
dude wait until 2019 peater sees gon from hxh
also you might be wondering why i only drew mid 2019 perrin wearing the ninja outfit and not early 2018. that is because that one drawing of ninja perrin from 2019 got meme'd to fucking DEATH by my friend because it had a funny face. i was forever scarred and so i decided to draw it as a funny reminder of that time.
oh yeah christmas tree peater. yeah bro.
Tumblr media
moving on, here's the collection of weird perrins from this time.
the first is art i drew for art fight 2019, where I drew perrin with outfit themed with the team i joined which was team dream. i fucking lost horrendously that year. if i had a team i regretted joining it was team dream
Tumblr media Tumblr media
next is!!! these four fucks!!!
these little guys are what was supposed to be representing peater's main personality traits, i made designs for them then that was it i did nothing with them. they were kinda dumb anyway
hopefully one of you guys know that thomas sander series with the four personality traits because that was what inspired these :smill:
Tumblr media
and yknow what? I should probably cover all of the christmas perrins all in a row because getting rid of all of them rn would better fit the writing flow better-
oh. there's a picture limit. god fucking damn!!! see you later then!!!
Second Part

This isn't cannon. This is just a theory!
So, like, are the songs in the album Hayfields dedicated to the Harkers? I know that the Larkers are dedicated to them, but I've been listening to the songs a lot, and I'm wondering if there's a connection.
I don't know if maybe this has already been confirmed and I'm maybe just a little stupid, but here's some of my thoughts anyway!
Neath the grove is a heart:
First off the bat, I think 'Neath the grove is a heart' is dedicated to the bellringer. I think this is seen in both the fact that it has the tune of 'Harpy Hare' in it - which I think is dedicated to the storyteller, which is (as far as I'm aware) the bellringer's significant other - and the fact that bells can be heard in the background of the song, you can hear this the best from 2:43 onwards. Also, the lyrics "will you stay and tell a tale" perhaps being directed at the storyteller may also back this up.
Harpy Hare:
Harpy Hare is definitely much harder to explain and is heavily just based on the fact that I think 'Neath the grove is a heart' is dedicated to the bellringer. It's more of a shot in the dark, you could say. Of course, the fact 'Hare' is in the title could be connected to Cole, who represents the storyteller, but again, that's kind of flimsy evidence. This one's more just based on a feeling.
And the hound:
I think 'And the hound' is dedicated to the Croon. This is more so found through the repeated lyrics of "The hound is humming.." As in Harpy Hare, we can see that Perrine, who represents the Croon, hums instead of sings for the most part. Maybe humming in general might represent the Croon. Furthermore, there is a lyric in 'And the hound' where they say, "Hear me here, listen to Croons and a calling" but this is flimsy evidence and may just be a coincidence in the lyrics, since Harpy Hare is referenced and the word Kindling is used near the beginning.
Hartebeest:
'Hartebeest' is the last one to cover, and that means I believe it represents the enkindled. This, of course, is also very flimsy. I think it's thrown off by the fact that "little rabbit" is a repeated lyric, and we know Cole wears a rabbit mask. But the song itself starts and finishes with the sound of nature, which I'm pretty sure is what Kingsley's mask is meant to represent.
There's no confirmation on any of this (as far as I'm aware) so this is all just some fun theories, please don't take it too seriously. For all I know each album could be dedicated to just one of the harkers, this is only the start of Yaelorke's project after all.

wheel of time s2 trailer
First: Aaah!
Okay, spoilers below -- casting spoilers and what we know about S2 and spoilers through The Dragon Reborn in the books.
First impression is that everything looks amazing and I am so excited! But before I watch anyone else's reactions, I want to break my thoughts down for myself on what all the moments that we saw might mean:
okay, first: I love this song (Control) and this edit of it is very haunting and good. Nice choice, really works.
We open with Moiraine in Foregate (looking for Rand, I assume). In her severe and fancy Cairhiein duds. "Everyone has a choice."
So it looks like Moiraine and Rand are going to make a stop at Tar Valon/the White Tower? Because there's this shot here of a blue dress in the White Tower. We see later in the trailer that Rand is in his fancy clothes when he's here, so it would be later in the season -- would it be after the girls have already left/been tricked to leave or are we going to get a Rand-Egwene-Nynaeve reunion (Randlayne meeting? Cauthor reunion?).
Moiraine being Sad in the bath -- heartbreaking but we already saw part of this in the teaser, so I'll move on. "And every choice has a consequence."
Rand in a desert-y area in his Fancy Clothes, so this is maybe their approach to Falme?
"We didn't defeat the Dark One; we set him free." Heartbreaking! I mean, I already knew that, but poor Moiraine. We have her hiding from a Fade. I think this might have been in the trailer too.
Ishy looks good. And he disappears real fast. In TAR or was he using something spoilery there that only he at this point has access to?
We have Egwene in an underground chamber doing some weaves. Is she being watched by Liandrin or is that a deceptive cut to Liandrin there?
Brief look at the Darkfriend social. "No one should have that much power."
Nynaeve looking at Alanna, I think. This was in the teaser photos that were released yesterday. Working in the kitchens. Since Alanna maybe doesn't know anything about Rand at this point (maybe...) then she might be being nosy about Nynaeve specifically.
Ishy doing some channeling (air?). And we get a more full introduction to probably-Lanfear coming out of her blood pool vibes.
Seanchan attacking a poor village via the damane. Might be when Perrin & co encounter them?
13. A door being opened up. A vault/secured door of some kind? Ah, it looks like it's the entrance to the Testing chamber and this is probably when Nynaeve is doing her Accepted testing.
14. Perrin riding down a mountain -- this was in the teaser trailer. But he looks good!
15. "Together we face the impossible. But now we're in our separate corners of the world." Rand protectively cuddles Lanfear, likely going by the name Selene. Looks like he's still in more rough traveling clothes at this point and not in his fancy clothes yet. VERY INTRIGUED by Selene wearing blue and not white. Deliberately linking her to Moiraine?
16. Rand walks down a hallway.
17. Lightning lights up a city and Lan rides on a horse in the dark. "Protecting Rand, guiding him, that is the only thing that matters!" Moiraine says to Lan, and we cut to Siuan in her fancy clothes saying, "You can't control him." Talking to Moiraine?
18. Rand wakes up maybe? Already using the Power (fire?). Is this the same scene where he pushes Moiraine up against a wall? Guessing it's after he's separated from 'Selene'.
19. Perrin looking a wolf. "You know you have something inside you." Sounds like they might do some paralleling with Perrin-wolfbrother and Rand-channeler.
20. Rand (air helping him?) pushes Moiraine up against a wall, looking kinda angry.
21. Egwene captured. You can see what a fight she put up. Her cheek is very bloody and her eyes are bloodshot too.
22. Nynaeve is in her shift, covered in blood. Part of the Accepted test?
23. Mat is staring at the dagger. Dagger is on a fancy table, Mat is still in his Two Rivers clothes. He feels the temptation. Is this part of what happens in his plotline with Liandrin? "Something that calls for blood." Yeah, they're connecting all the Emond's Field mains with this idea in the trailer.
24. "I want to know how to control it," Rand says, and we see the Power swirling around him (I don't see the taint -- is Lanfear channeling here?) as Lanfear stands behind him. He's just in a simple shirt, so I think it's earlier in the season.
25. Rand is talking to Logain here, which another sign that Rand is going to be in the White Tower, since that's where Logain is being kept prisoner. Both of them are wearing blue.
26. "The Last Battle's coming," Moiraine says, as we look at the Seanchan dominating a village and forcing them down. We can see Suroth up on a huge platform (mobile throne) and then we get a close-up to see that she's hanging with Ishy and her Voice. The Seanchan design that the show came up with is AMAZING. I've said it before and I'm sure that I'll say it again.
27. Turak opens the box holding the Horn of Valere (though we don't see the Horn yet) and says, "The whole world will be ours". Interestingly, he's not wearing the face mask but he definitely has the nails.
28. The Seanchan attack Egwene & Elayne via damane. I can't tell here if Egwene has been captured and that's what her look of defiance is about or if she's still fighting back at this point. It looks like a burst of power comes from here, so this could be her fighting back.
29. There's an explosion but it looks like this is a Nynaeve scene -- she's back to wearing Two Rivers clothes so I'm guessing this is part of her Testing. Yeah, the style of the building looks like it matches the Two Rivers.
30. Whitecloaks riding horses fades to Liandrin (in the White Tower) looks at... is that the place they melt old & reforge new Aes Sedai rings?
31. Perrin plays with a little girl. Maybe a cute moment before the Seanchan arrive?
32. Siuaraine kiss! Both of them wearing blue. Reunion in the White Tower (when she brings Rand?) or a flashback? Siuan looks very casual here.
33. Egwene hugs Nynaeve. It looks like Egwene is already dressed in her novice whites while Nynaeve is still wearing Two Rivers clothes.
34. More of Nynaeve's Accepted Testing.
35. "If our friends are in trouble why would I ever stay here." Egwene is talking to Elayne, who looks a bit dusty and thoughtful.
36. Moiraine strides out of a doorway. We get the "no conception of the power they wield", which was in the teaser. Brief shot of Lan on his horse, then we hear him say, "You can't do this by yourself."
27. Aviendha veiling up and fighting some Whitecloaks! Perrin is there. Guessing this is when he/we first meet her.
28. "There are many paths to walk through the night," Moiraine says. I think that's a shot of Liandrin (maybe going to meet Fain?).
29. "It's not always the most powerful who write history," we hear over a shot of shirtless Rand.
30. Nynaeve comes back through the Testing Doorway, covered in blood.
31. Perrin killing a Whitecloak with white hair.
32. Egwene screaming in the damane collar.
33. Rand bound to the wheel in the desert (almost certainly TAR).
34. "It's the ones who survive". And we see here that this is Liandrin speaking.
35. Rand in a plaza in Falme! Fancy clothes partially hidden under a cloak, sword on his back. Looks like this is his confrontation with Turak. We hear him say, "I'm tried of being a spoke in the wheel."
36. We get a pull-out shot of him in the desert on the wheel and it looks like he has an audience, someone in front of him. Maybe Ishy? It pulls away much too fast for me to see.
37. Rand runs someone through with a sword of fire, it looks like? Mat stabs someone (still in his Two Rivers clothes). Is that a regular spear that he's using? There's an explosion -- in Falme? Or in Cairhien?
38. "You're not a spoke, boy," Siuan says to Rand (!). Are they in Tar Valon or did Siuan come to Cairhien? I am not certain from the trailer. There are certain things that indicate they go to Tar Valon but nothing definitive, I think? So it could be that Siuan comes to Cairhien. Because that earlier Siuaraine scene could be when she's dropping off Egwene & Nynaeve or it could be a flashback. "You are the water that turns the Wheel itself."
Wow that was a lot! Okay, I'm going to see what other people think now.

guess what...its me again. one from your skin, wearing thin - these two fics of yours have like got INTO my brain. yeah i havent seen the source material but i trust you. theres something soooo compelling and ive been trying to get into this kind of weird strange dance of people who kind of hate each other and kind of love each other and both are true and neither is true and yeah i do keep coming back and reading these two bc it kind of exemplifies the form 2 me. cant believe i haven't yet kudosed on ao3. well here is an extra kudos for u. there is a line in my finduilas/denethor/thorongil fic that is a LITTLE bit along these lines and. yeah. i hope that isnt weird and is more the being in conversation across wildly different circumstances that it is in my mind. anyway much love
Perrin glares at him, and Tay reaches forward and rights the wilting geraniums that frame his face. And then, as he goes to pull away, a warm hand clamps around his wrist. Uncontrollable is the wrong word—fury in his eyes, and his fingers tight against Tay’s skin, Perrin is wildly alive. It is not even a surprise when he tugs Tay close and presses a hot kiss to his mouth, in his fiancée’s garden on his wedding day. And maybe it is the wine; or the terrible feeling that the days of their youth are now behind them, to be brought out from behind glass and examined like artifacts before being returned there; or that they are so near Midwinter, and desperate to drive away the dark; or the way Perrin will be Mon’s, soon, and if he kisses her after kissing Tay it is almost as though Tay will be present in the act—whatever the reason, Tay kisses him back for far too long. When they part, Perrin turns away with a stormy look while Tay leans back, panting a little, staring up into the purpling sky. The sun has set. The ceremony will be soon. He dances with Mon during the reception. Tay bows over her hand with a smile as they part after a single song, excruciatingly proper, and proceeds back to his well-appointed guest room to drink himself stupid.
i don’t think it’s weird at all actually i’m super honored and happy that you think of this in conversation with your own writing :) us both working on our triad stories is parallel play to me
Perrin glares at him, and Tay reaches forward and rights the wilting geraniums that frame his face.
okay so i had a rule that i wasn’t going to open the wiki for any star wars thing and i broke that immediately; thankfully, due to The Disney Of It All (this might be directly because of the starcruiser hotel project?) canonically chandrila does have geraniums. i wanted a little bit of flora and fauna, i found my little bit of flora and fauna. and it was soooo funny to imagine young perrin in a flower crown.
And then, as he goes to pull away, a warm hand clamps around his wrist. Uncontrollable is the wrong word—fury in his eyes, and his fingers tight against Tay’s skin, Perrin is wildly alive. It is not even a surprise when he tugs Tay close and presses a hot kiss to his mouth, in his fiancée’s garden on his wedding day. this fic also had to establish that perrin is attractive. tay finds him very very appealing; bad taste personality wise, but it’s like... their lives are so constrained, meeting someone who wants to make you bleed and doesn’t care how he gets there feels like a revelation. this particular passage owes a little bit to off to the races by lana del rey: Because I'm crazy, baby / I need you to come here and save me / I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singin' in the garden / Kiss me on my open mouth. make bad choices. kiss your fiancee’s almost-lover in her backyard on your wedding day. perrin is great because he’s a catalyst for sooooo much stuff that happens with these three. he’s the one willing to say ‘no, fuck this, i’m taking what i want’.
And maybe it is the wine; or the terrible feeling that the days of their youth are now behind them, to be brought out from behind glass and examined like artifacts before being returned there; or that they are so near Midwinter, and desperate to drive away the dark; or the way Perrin will be Mon’s, soon, and if he kisses her after kissing Tay it is almost as though Tay will be present in the act—whatever the reason, Tay kisses him back for far too long.
it’s like this. if this was a fantasy setting and for some reason they needed someone to witness the consummation of the marriage from behind a curtain, tay would kill to be that man. he’s not somehow apart from this situation; all three of these characters are actors, none are victims. and hell, growing up is so terrible for them. they’re all way too young to be expected to be adults. ‘the days of their youth are now behind them’ and tay is the oldest and he’s like seventeen in this scene. it’s fucked. throw the whole chandrila away.
When they part, Perrin turns away with a stormy look while Tay leans back, panting a little, staring up into the purpling sky. The sun has set. The ceremony will be soon.
tay gets to have his ‘i’m being swept away’ romance novel protagonist moment. that’s a fun treat for him. this little rebellion from perrin wasn’t a decisive move that changed history; he’s still going to get married in an hour. it’s not that it was futile, but it only served to give him his first bit of ammunition against mon—very ‘i kissed your boyfriend and you never got to’.
He dances with Mon during the reception. Tay bows over her hand with a smile as they part after a single song, excruciatingly proper, and proceeds back to his well-appointed guest room to drink himself stupid.
again, tay isn’t going to break into their room. he’s not going to climb up to the balcony! he’s going to mope around like a sad dog about it, then see them in twenty years and then wreck his life and maybe die. he’s very doomed. i know you haven’t seen the show but i am convinced he is going to die.
thanks again!!!!!!!!

There has a deer. With a brave heart and a flaming fear. A precious deer. Oh, little deer
Serene is a hybrid between human and deer. They are approximately 35 years old. The sweet baker of the village, with a brave heart and an incredible sensibility. She has an incredible sense of motherhood, that she enjoys sharing with the little ones.
She’s the adoptive parent of Perrine, their relationship is kind of complicated, Perrine has some trust issues, but serene, embracing their name, took everything with calm and patience. Serene adores Perrine. She is very protective of them, and she gives Perrine a pet moose called hazelnut.
she´s also a foster mother, so in their house is so common see Childs. She lives near to the forest and knows every single lark in different circumstances. Her ways of show affection are subtle things like peel fruits, hugs, and a bunch of other things.
Serene is a strong woman, that, even being a deer, never doubt of defend the people that they consider need to.
some fun facts: serene knows Marlowe, and adore them, usually bakes them oat cookies. They have a deep connection. Serene has a partner (I’m still imagine them) Perrine invites serene one time to a lark show because they want to sing her a song (the song was love love love by the oh hellos) Talking about the lark, serene never forces Perrine to be part of their life, that includes knowing the lark. She eventually knows them. And ofc serene knows about the other perrine name but she ask them in what way she can refer them, and that’s why she always refer perrine as perrine (xd)

Perrine Bousquet (ペリーヌ・ブスケ, Perīnu Busuke) is the dorm leader of Lagniappe. She's a cheerful young lady and very skilled cook who’s food can bring a smile to anyone's face. She's also known to experiment with various flavors and ingredients.
History
Perrine was born and raised in Marshland Port. She is the second eldest daughter of Elva and Jeremiah Bousquet, the younger sister of Theodore Bousquet, the older sister of Ida and Dixie Bousquet and the granddaughter of Hattie Bousquet.
She and her family used to live in poverty until her parents decided to start up a catering business. Words of praise quickly spread about the Bousquet family's cooking, which in turn resulted in them gaining the funds to open a restaurant. This eventually inspired others to start their own businesses too. Their community became a popular tourist spot because of the shops and restaurants that are connected to the houses.
However, with business comes rivalries, and rather nasty ones at that. After Theodore became the new owner of their family's restaurant following his parents retirement, a restaurant owned by a rich but greedy company opened up across the street from the Bousquet's and the owners frequently began to harass the family, even threatening an impossible debt on them. This makes Perrine fearful as she doesn't want to lose the community she cherishes so dearly.
Personality
Perrine is a cheerful and happy-go-lucky young lady who harbors a deep passion for cooking and is always open to trying new foods.
She is a hardworker but doesn't ask for help even when it gets tough, as she feels like she's not capable if others see her struggling, which is a bad habit of hers.
Appearance
Perrine is a young lady in her late teens. She has brown skin, green eyes and pale peach orange hair that's commonly worn in a bun.
2020 School Uniform
Tumblr media
In her first school uniform, Perrine wore a green dress shirt underneath a light green peplum blazer with pale yellow green trim, a bow near the bottom of the blazer, two gray gem buttons on each side, and green cuffs with the same gem buttons as before. She also wears a two layered skirt, with the first layer being dark green with clover patterns on it and the second one being light green with various yellow green spots. For footwear, Perrine sports a pair of gold heels, that appear to be a fusion of kitten heels and mary janes, with light green soles and light green ruffles within.
Perrine accessorizes with a silver tiara with the center part being triangular and has a green oval shaped gem on top, while the sides of the tiara are swirled, behind the tiara is a crown of leaves and she has a gold ribbon wrapped around her bun. Other accessories include a yellow bow necktie with her brooch and a pair of black leggings.
2021 School Uniform
Tumblr media
Like many others, Perrine revived some cosmetic adjustments to her design, though they're fairly minor.
Perrine's hair is now in a high bun and her bangs have a slight curl to them. The only major cosmetic adjustment is the skirt, the first layer is now transparent and turquoise in color while the second layer is a solid green. She also accessorizes with a pair of silver pearl earrings.
School Statistics
Perrine is a 17 year old 2nd year student. She is classified as Student #7 and is in Class 2-E. She is a member of the Roleplay Game Club and her best subject is Party Hosting. Her favorite school subject is Music due to the fact that her hometown always has music playing so she grew up with it as well as it being a nice reminder of home. Her least favorite school subject is Magic History because she has trouble with knowing when the events occurred and she keeps miswording the names, if it's not common knowledge like the great seven or the princesses.
For her idol performances, Perrine has a very strong voice that can capture an audience with how upbeat and loud it sounds. Sings pop and song covers from musicals.
For her choreography, Perrine favors jazz dances with a mix of street dance. There's a lot of light shows whenever she performs.
Relationships
Family
Perrine has a good relationship with her family and greatly follows their mottos of hard work and sharing pride of accomplishments with others.
Pet
Perrine has a pet tomato frog named Big Tom. He's an unusually big frog who looks like he's staring at your soul which might unnerve people. He often is on Perrine's shoulder or head.
Fellow Students
Perrine is known to go ingredient searching with both Cerule and Elu, though the former does question her tastes.
Night Raven College Students
Perrine is shown to have a close relationship with Ruggie, who is very fond of her cooking and she even personally delivers food she made just for him. She's also shown to cook alongside Trey.
Romance
Perrine would love someone who she could dance to jazz with but also she wants someone who is family oriented. Someone who cherishes their family like she does.
Powers and Abilities
• Magic: Much like her fellow students, Perrine can use magic. She mostly learns spells used for cooking so she has a great control in heat and cooling magic. It's a spectacle to watch her cook with magic.
• Culinary Skills: Perrine is known to greatly excel at cooking. She even has a talent for quick cooking.
• Strength and Stamina: Perrine surprisingly displays a vast amount of strength and stamina, often carrying heavy loads with little difficulty.
• Animal Taming: Due to growing up near a bayou, Perrine has a talent for taming dangerous animals, especially reptiles.
Unique Magic
Perrine's unique magic is called "Dancing Dolls" (小さな蛙の行進/ダンシング・ドール, Danshingu Dōru; lit. "March of the Little Frogs"). She can summon little dolls that follow her command. She mostly uses them to help in the kitchen.
Voice
According to her bio, Perrine would be voiced by Yūki Takada, who is known for her roles as Rin Kurosawa in Aikatsu! and Aoba Suzukaze in the 2016 anime television series New Game!
Trivia

Medea Played Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, The DLC’s (Part III)
Tumblr media
Just because the main story is over, doesn't mean you have to stop playing the game.
Once you get back from your adventure in Area Zero, Briar has quickly written a book about the ordeal.
Tumblr media
An apology for doing absolutely fuck-all when Terapagos was kicking all of our asses and for not controlling Kieran. Fuck no and fuck you.
Actually, you don't have to keep it for long. In Kitakami, go to the Crystal Pond, have Terapagos, and watch as things make no sense.
Tumblr media
That's right. A mist comes through and you meet with the professor. You have an in-depth chat about things and in the end, you exchange Briar's book for the Scarlet Book. Everything comes back around full-circle. Back at the school...
Tumblr media
Go to Amarys and she'll feed Koraidon/Miraidon a supplement that'll make him fly now.
No, she still doesn't call them by their actual name.
Tumblr media
Outside the school, you can meet Mr. Snacksworth. A man who has apparently met nearly every legendary (except Dialga and Palkia) and has crafted snacks for each one.
Tumblr media
Once you capture 200 pokemon for your Blueberry pokedex, go to Perrin for a special quest in Area Zero. However, after you complete the request Perrin only gives you a Park ball. You know, the balls you use at the National Park in Johto.
In the clubroom, you can spend those BP's on the item printer, throwing styles, or changing the music.
Tumblr media
Cute choices and all, but might I suggest some better songs?
*Mt. Pyre
*Route 27
*Route 44
*The three lakes in Sinnoh
*Lavender Town
Just to name a few.
Tumblr media
And of course, you can invite coaches to the club room. Invite two certain coaches at the same time and they might strike up a conversation and you might learn something. Here are some of the things I learned.
*Katy was the one who gave Kofu the Venonat wallet
*Grusha was a fan of Iono's back when she first started streaming
*Nemona knows Lacey from a party a few years prior and gave us confirmation by saying her father Clay's name
*Poppy is nine-years old
*Hassel knows Drayton and his granddad
*Clavell thinks Mr. Jacq-strap is a total slob
*Drayton is a total dick to Kieran long-after the incident
*A lot of the gym leaders are a bit resentful towards Geeta
Let's not forget the gifts and trades! After you battle the coaches, you get a gift. The first time, you might get cool stuff like phone cases, Drayden's black tracksuit, and...
Tumblr media
Clive's wig? I look so dead inside.
Invite everyone on the list at least 3 times and trade with all of them will allow you to invite the mystery person named Saffron. That person of course is Cyrano, the director of Blueberry Academy. Defeat him in battle and he'll trade you his Shiny Blitzle.
Let's return to Uva academy and help Team Star.
Tumblr media
I got major whiplash seeing Eri here.
Giacomo and Eri ask you for help in tutoring the other Team Star members and hide it from Penny too. It didn't go as planned, but there was a happy conclusion. Plus, you get some new outfits in the process.
Tumblr media
This leads to Atticus being grateful for the help that he makes his own garment knock-offs to be bidded on.
Many of these items you might recognize from past games like shoes from Aether, helmets from ORAS, and another reminder of Ball Guy's existence from Sword/Shield. Getting all the items are very costly with most auctions costing as much as 365,000 wing-wangs.
And now, let's get to the Mochi Mayhem.
First of all, you must get this mythical pecha berry from the mystery gift. Once you get it, go to Peachy's store in Kitakami. You notice a certain pink object move and then Arven calls asking to stop by your home. Next thing you know, the object is gone.
Tumblr media
Back home, Nemona and Penny joined Arven. There, you also get a letter from Kieran asking for you and your friends to come to Kitakami. He's using snail-mail due to not having a smart-Rotom phone. Before we leave, we learn something about Penny.
Tumblr media
Her father used the word "Adven-tour". So it's a good chance that her father is Peony. Which means her sister is Peonia. Which means her uncle is Chairman Rose. I have so many questions and this is the only time we hear about Penny's papa. Once we're in Kitakami, we're greeted with a familiar face.
Tumblr media
Kieran is a meek cinnamon roll again. I guess the answer all along was to have him battle with Nemona. Nemona beat the pants off this boy but also had him enjoy himself.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, there is something wonky going on in Kitakami. Carmine has been acting weird. And...um, how do I go about this?
Tumblr media
She flaps like a chicken and says the word "Mochi" over and over.
With Carmine acting strangely, there's only one thing to do.
Tumblr media
I am...just wow.
After this idiocy, we step outside and it turns into a cliche horror film trope.
Tumblr media
Everyone in the town is slowly turning into these flapping, mochi-munchers.
Tumblr media
Even Kieran's grandparents get hit with this mochi-demic.
Also, not helping in my suspicions on these two being Jessie and James. I know that's not their names, but Gramps battles you with Arbok and Weezing.
Back at Peachy's, we find the mystery pokemon causing this trouble. But it winds up shooting mochi at us.
Tumblr media
Penny and Arven eat up. I avoided it. And Kieran got conked on the head with it. And before you can say, "Mochi, Mochi"...
Tumblr media
They were under the mochi spell.
Tumblr media
Before you know it, the entire place is surrounded by moch-ombies.
Tumblr media
It's just that Nemona is too hard to possess fully.
Once you beat Nemona, you have to fight Peacharunt and catch it.
And those are the DLC's.
Tumblr media
The Teal Mask was just okay. I think the only thing I really liked was just Ogerpon and the ability to catch some of my favorite pokemon.
Tumblr media
The Indigo Disk, I was actually surprised by. The fact that you couldn't play that one until you've finished Teal Mask and the main game in total meant some major stuff was going to go down. Plus, the battles are a lot harder than normal.
Tumblr media
Mochi Mayhem was cute. It reminded me of some of those events for legendaries like the ones in R/S/E or the Victini one in B/W. I'm glad that we got an event pokemon through mystery gift. Something I wish we could have had with Zarude back in gen 8 instead of that bullshit joining a newsletter or something stupid.
So...I suppose this is the end of Scarlet and Violet. Unless we get more mystery gift surprises, this is probably it. I am a little upset that there isn't a battle tower like in previous games. And more important, Pokemon Horizons is going to go off and do it's own thing, not attaching it to the game whatsoever. We'll see what happens at the end of February as Pokemon Day always arrives with huge news in the games department.
And that was Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

WoT episode three. Let's do this.
Nynaeve you are my everything.
Oh wait, is this the part where Zoe kept on out-running the cameras? Good stuff.
It's interesting how adaptations works. The sacred pool in the Two Rivers is an excellent mirror for the Eye of the World from the books (in this case a well of saidar rather than saidin). It's also in the pool where we see Nynaeve really battle evil for the first time and kick evil's ass.
It also mirrors what happens to Nynaeve at the end of the first book, without extraneous Forsaken and gross attempted rape.
The Dragon's Fang in the water is such a great touch.
The hair flip! Hot damn I love Nynaeve al'Meara.
"That's not how roads work." One of season one's most iconic lines.
Wolves are howling in the distance? I guess Perrin's around.
They're just, they're all friends, you know? They care about each other, they support each other, they call each other dumbasses (affectionate AND derogatory). I'm just having a lot of Feelings about Them.
Another quick book comparison. I recently re-read EotW and was really disappointed with the bits where Egwene and Perrin are separated from the group. At that point, RJ didn't have a really good idea of who Egwene was. And Perrin was written like a ginormous ass. Plus, the undercurrent of "Men think women are mysterious and women think men are stupid" that would permeate the rest of the series really reared its head for the first time.
Anyway, I like the show version a whole lot more.
Nynaeve gathering herbs my beloved.
Perrin, Perrin, Perrin. They wolves aren't trying to hurt you. They're trying to help you.
I love cowboy rockstar Thom Merrillin. Also this song is another banger.
Dana is such a good character. Such a great way to start off the series' true philosophical discussion.
Lan already has Nynaeve's number. Love that for them.
Maria Doyle Kennedy makes every show better. That's just science.
A little Aiel 101. I'm sure we'll never need this information at any point in the future.
This really is the Mat Studies episode. It's all about the contradictions with that one.

Let's (re)Read The Eye of the World! Chapter 42: Remembrance of Dreams
Tumblr media
Rest easy, child. Moiraine is keeping you safe from the spoilers. This post is filled with spoilers for the whole of The Wheel of Time series and I am trying to get them stabbed into you, but you can avoid your fate! Just block the tags! Leave this post! Read the damn books or whatever! And don't blame me if you see spoilers from here on out.
This chapter's icon is the ravens, a way of representing the Shadow that the gang is desperately trying to find a way to escape. Luckily, there's nothing really going on to threaten them in this chapter.
He took five steps into the library before he realized that everyone else had stopped, crowded together in the doorway, openmouthed and goggling. A brisk blaze crackled in the fireplace, and Loial was sprawled on the long couch, reading, a small black cat with white feet curled and half asleep on his stomach. When they entered he closed the book with a huge finger marking his place and gently set the cat on the floor, then stood to bow formally.
Aww, Loial snuggles with kitties too. This book doesn't have enough kitty snuggles, there should have been one in literally every chapter.
(Also it's cute that Rand forgets how unusual Ogiers are from everyone else's perspective because he's just that buddy-buddy with Loial already. Rand's a good friend.)
Loial liked to talk, and talk at length when he had the slightest chance, though he usually seemed to think a story needed two or three hundred years of background to make it understood. His sense of time was very strange; to him three hundred years seemed a reasonable length of time for a story or explanation to cover.
To an Ogier, this is only providing a decade or so of context, which isn't anywhere near as much.
“You always were crazy,” Perrin said, and for a moment he, too, sounded as of old. “No,” Nynaeve said. Tears made her eyes bright, but she was smiling. “None of us blames you.”
Dammit people, more hugs! Hug Mat! Hug Moiraine! Hug Loial especially and then tell me how fluffy it was.
“Yes,” Moiraine said quietly, “he still has the dagger.” The laughter and talk was still going on among the rest of the Emond’s Field folk, but she had noticed his sudden intake of breath and had seen what had caused it. She moved closer to his chair, where she did not have to raise her voice for him to hear clearly.
Rand again shows he's the overall cleverest of the group in that he notices what's up right away, and Moiraine briefly flirts with being the kind of assistant to Rand that she should be by telling him the facts straight out. See how well you two get along in this conversation, Moiraine? All of your conversations could have been like that!
Rand made a sound, and Moiraine raised an eyebrow at him. “I thought they were looking for Mat and me,” he said.
Rand's reacting to Moiraine's infodumping, which again shows just how great a team they are when Moiraine is providing all the facts instead of trying to manipulate them! This sequence is really good in the trust she offers to everyone and it's a shame she reverts to her old habits again by the second book. I blame Siuan showing up, it made her feel young again.
“That’s what I always say,” Mat said blandly, though he was suddenly grinning hard, and Egwene asked in a decidedly neutral voice, “Who’s Elayne?”
Egwene, you spent several weeks dancing with the hottest boy you could find. You don't get to be pissy about Rand interacting with another girl. It's just annoyingly hypocritical and we are leaving the part of the book where romantic misunderstandings are fun.
I met some Tuatha’an a few years back, and they wanted to learn the songs we sing to trees. Actually, the trees won’t listen to very many anymore, and so not many Ogier learn the songs. I have a scrap of that Talent, so Elder Arent insisted I learn. I taught the Tuatha’an what they could learn, but the trees never listen to humans. For the Traveling People they were only songs, and just as well received for that, since none was the song they seek.
Please internalize this, WoT fandom. The Tuatha'an aren't stupid, they're well aware of the Ogier songs, and the Ogier songs aren't what they're looking for. No song is actually what they're looking for, but the Ogier songs can't even be sung properly by people so there's no match here at all.
“That’s what the Tinkers told us,” Perrin said. “Yes,” Egwene said, “the Aiel story.” Moiraine turned her head slowly. No other part of her moved. “What story?”
See what it feels like when people won't communicate useful information, Moiraine?
(Also I am 90% certain that it was only the Three Oaths that kept Perrin and Egwene alive through this exchange, and also Mat and Rand once the dream info comes out.)
Had I known after the first such, I might have been able to. . . . There has not been a Dreamwalker in Tar Valon for nearly a thousand years, but I could have tried.
I'm pretty sure that the real reason the boys don't tell Moiraien, Pattern-wise, is that she would have worn herself out trying to help. She sadly cannot.
He can still send Halfmen against you, and Trollocs, and Draghkar, and other things, but he cannot make you his unless you let him.
I'm mostly quoting this bit to show that Moiraine and Lan are in definite philosophical disagreement here. She's way more hopeful about the task at hand than he is, though these Two Rivers folk are probably making her less optimistic by the millisecond.
Out of the mass of humanity, the Dark One can touch an individual only by chance, unless that person seeks it. But for a time, at least, you three are central to the Pattern.
Also of course, the boys aren't being touched by the Dark One. They're instead being influenced by Ishamael, who is now free enough to do whatever he pleases.
“The Father of Lies is a good name for the Dark One,” Moiraine replied. “It was always his way to seed the worm of doubt wherever he could. It eats at men’s minds like a canker. When you believe the Father of Lies, it is the first step toward surrender. Remember, if you surrender to the Dark One, he will make you his.”
And this is the part where Moiraine loses the trust again. She could have told Rand the truth, but she sidesteps so blatantly instead that he has no choice but to distrust her.
“The Pattern presents a crisis, and at the same time a way to surmount it. If I did not know it was impossible, I could almost believe the Creator is taking a hand. There is a way.”
I wonder if Robert Jordan read much of Asimov's Foundation. In those stories, a man had deduced a way to predict the future in broad strokes and had established the titular Foundation to avert the 30,000 years of barbarism he foresaw. As the project would still take a thousand years, he left behind recordings identifying various turning points and leaving hints for the Foundation's members to use to swing events the proper way - they were referred to in-universe as "Seldon crises".
Much like Wheel of Time, Asimov died with this story unfinished and had later authors revisit the series, though sadly they only did a prequel trilogy instead of resolving the cliffhanger of the final chronological novel. It also is getting adapted these days and attracting a lot of alt-right rage for having women and people of color in the cast instead of the series of interchangeable white dudes - and hopefully Amazon's Wheel adaptation will continue the parallels by having a much stronger second season after a shakier first one.
Anyway I dunno why this notion struck me here, it's just something about the way Moiraine said it. Fun fact: the Creator can intervene and we'll be seeing that before the book ends, though he won't be doing much useful.
“No!” Loial said, an emphatic rumble like thunder. Everyone turned to look at him and he blinked under the attention, but there was nothing hesitant about his words. “If we enter the Ways, we will all die—or be swallowed by the Shadow.”
Oh yeah, this is probably another thing that the chapter icon was referencing. But we'll see more about that soon. Next chapter: more bad dreams!

And Know That Only I ~ Pt II

Part 2 of Follow Me, My Dear, And Know That Only I Will Follow You.
Title comes from the song “Long Way Around” by The Sweeplings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Airfield was as busy as a beehive on the morning of the big jump. It was to be Perry's first, and she considered herself rather fortunate that her luck had landed her with (supposedly) sleepy Holland. Every soldier from Private to Colonel bustled about, every minute demanding something new. The Toccoa men prepped themselves and the replacements tried to keep up; if they were lucky, they (like Perry or the newly-christened Babe) had an in with a Normandy veteran. Perry had just parted from Miller and Garcia, having been summoned by Sergeant Randleman for one last check-up. She could only suppose someone had let slip at her tiredness last night, and as she approached the sergeant, she found the culprit standing right at his side.
"Joe," she greeted him, then the others, "Sergeant. Doc."
"You feelin' alright, Bloom?" Doc Roe asked, studying her eyes and cheeks for signs of fever or delirium.
"Just peachy, Doc," she said. "No, wait, you're from the bayou, right?"
At his puzzled nod, she grinned.
"Then I'm fit as a croc, Doc."
Joe audibly groaned, but Randleman snorted, and Perry, pleased, prepared to convey her good nights' sleep and readiness for the jump. Before she could, however, something behind her caught the sergeant's eye and his smile dropped like a boulder off a cliff. Joe grabbed Perry by the shoulders and manhandled her behind Randleman and Roe, who'd stepped forward to conceal her.
"What the hell, guys?!" she yelped, trying to get around them, but they wouldn't let her. She had to grab Joe's shoulder and balance on her toes to see what was going on.
There was a transport going by with two men perched on the sides of the jeep, practically boot-to-shoulder with the driver. One of them sat with his chin up, bouncing merrily along with the rumbling of the jeep and waving to a few men he seemed to recognize, including Doc Roe. The other fellow—an officer, by the looks of his uniform—sat stiff as a gravestone, scanning the crowd with a thick glower.
"Who's that?" Perry asked, eyeing the second man. "He looks pissed."
"That there is Captain Sobel," Bull said, and she could tell without looking that something in his expression had soured.
"Oh, right." Perry gave a start. "Oh, shit. What's he doing here?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to find out."
"You sure? Something could be up."
Before she could try and slip around him, Joe grabbed Perry's arm and tugged her after him.
"Not for you to find out, either. Come on."
"Hey!" She pulled her arm back, ignoring the twinge it gave at the twisting motion. "For the last time, Joe I'm not a kid, so you can stop yanking me around, alright?"
His frown eased a bit, and when he nodded in the direction he wanted to take her, he seemed relieved when she continued to follow him. They skirted around the back of one tent and ducked into its neighbor, and Perry realized only once she was inside that it must be Joe's own. Well, it was the one he shared with Malarkey, but still—she felt suddenly bashful, put on the spot as if she was intruding on his childhood bedroom. There wasn't much left to witness, seeing as everyone had packed up that morning, but she could still smell his aftershave lingering in the closed air. It was the same used by all the men, but he added something to it that made the scent stand out—at least, to Perry it did. Maybe it was a spritz of cologne? She felt his hand on her arm and jumped, realizing too late that he'd asked her something she hadn't heard at all.
"Hey," he prodded. "You alright?"
Shaking off the strange urge to get up close to his face—to see if she was right about the cologne, of course—she had to ask him to repeat himself. Patient, he did, and she shrugged.
"Yeah, yeah, I, uh... I guess I got a bit spooked."
Starting with a truth seemed the way to go, and when he glanced out the open tarp flap toward the road where the transport had gone by, Perry jumped on the assumption.
"The way everybody talks about Sobel, it's like- like he's the monster under the bed, y'know? I never really expected to actually see him. And especially not here."
Joe sighed as he slung his pack onto the ground and knelt, shaking his head.
"You think he's jumping with us?"
He glanced up at her and she saw his frown had turned a bit stormy.
"Might be. If he is, chances are we'll leave him behind. He's too stubborn to listen to anybody out in the field, least of all his own sense—that's why we couldn't jump with him before. He'd get us all killed."
"Shit."
"Yeah. Shit."
He rose and stretched out his hands, and she saw he'd wrapped them as if the bandages were boxing tape.
"But enough about Sobel. If he jumps, he jumps."
He passed her a few strips for her own hands, and she couldn't keep a smile off her lips for long.
"Come on. One more time before we get on the planes."
As soon as she'd finished prepping her fists, she took up the stance he'd taught her and took a few quick practice swings. They mock-sparred for a bit until she managed to land a good one on his shoulder. He stumbled back and wobbled like he was about to fall, and Perry only understood he'd been messing around after she'd jumped forward and grabbed his shirt to steady him. He laughed, his hands coming to rest on her arms, and she squeezed his shirt as if displeased at his trickery when in reality she was just trying to keep her own balance.
"Thanks," he said, almost smirking, and Perry felt the fluttering in her chest maximize.
That was the first time he'd said just 'thanks' instead of 'thanks, kid'.
She stepped back, tugging at her hair, and Joe released her arms, nodding to her hands.
"You got 'em with you?"
She rifled through the inside pocket of her pack and showed him her brass knuckles. That gleam in his eyes from last night was back when he ruffled her hair and told her she'd done well. Leaning aside to peek out the tent flap, he missed the way her hand rose as if wanting to graze his chin and then fell just as quickly.
"Looks like Sobel's moved along," he reported. "You ready?"
She shrugged, starting to remove the wrappings.
"Ready as I'll ever be, I guess."
No glance or smile could have prepared her for the feeling of him taking her hands and unwrapping the rest of the bandages for her. It was such a tender and unexpected thing that she stood there and let him.
"No 'I guess'," he refuted, looking at her hands as he unwound the last strip. "You're gonna be fine."
"Right."
"Right?"
"I'm gonna be fine."
He stepped back, hesitated, and then held out the bandages to her.
"You'd better not need these out there."
Shaking her head, she pushed them back toward him, and he quirked a brow.
"No?"
"From what I've heard about your luck on D-Day," she replied, smiling faintly, "chances are, you'll need 'em."
He snorted and shook his head, but as he returned the bandages to his pack, she caught the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, betraying a kind of fondness that made her a little lightheaded.
"Yeah," he said, the gravel of his voice softening into sand, "you're probably right."
That day was a tumultuous one. The tall grass of Holland would have concealed one man, but a hundred helmets gleaming in the sun did little to disguise the advance. An orange flag welcomed them into Eindhoven, and by the time the better part of the company had entered the town, orange pennants had been strung from here to Kalamazoo. As men fell over themselves to flaunt their stations for the sake of a kiss (or a dozen), Perry searched for a way out of the crowd. Too many people meant too many close encounters and too high a chance of something going awry. She found Victor before long, but they'd only gone a few yards before they heard a kind of chanting from across the street. Perry, wan, hardly realized she'd jumped into the fray until four Dutchwoman were turning her away, their eyes downcast toward the blood and hair matting the cobblestones.
As soon as he caught up with her, Victor drew her aside, turmoil darkening his kind hazel eyes. Perry began to pace, the ugly scene just a few yards away filling her with a kind of rage she'd only felt once before in her life, on the day her mother abandoned the family. Stumbling her way out the door, a vodka bottle in hand, she'd turned to Clyde with venom in her eyes and spat that he was worthless. Perry—seeing red—nearly ran after her and gave her what for, but then Clyde began to cry and the brain fog lifted just enough for her to concede that violence wouldn't do any good. Seeing orange but feeling red this time, Perry was raring to start a fight. Victor agreed to back her up and they started back toward the abhorrent display, detouring only slightly to grab ahold of Joe and Doc Roe. The four Americans converged on the scene together, a spiteful Perry leading the charge, and started to chase off the spectators and perpetrators alike. In what seemed to be only a second, Perry found herself toe-to-toe with three scowling Dutchmen but would not back down, not for the sake of the first word and especially not the last. Victor came up to hover beside her as the argument boiled and bubbled until Perry came close to screaming at the inhumanity of it all.
“You do not know what we have lived-”
“No," she snapped, rage vibrating throughout her entire body, "I don’t. But I sure do know what it’s like to ruin yourself for the rights no person should have to beg for."
The ringleader of the three finally gave up and started to walk away, and Perry almost went after him, but again, somebody she cared about far more stopped her. Victor's hand on her shoulder brought her back to reality, and as a wave of unforgiving nausea swept over her, Perry turned and bent over her knees. Victor urged her over to a spot further away from judgmental eyes and Joe tried to give her his canteen to drink from, but she was too restless to stay still for long or even swallow. Victor went back over to one of the women still on the ground and sat beside her, and Perry was quick to follow. She crouched down beside her friend and gently introduced herself in Dutch as Doc Roe tended to the woman's bloodied scalp. After the woman had dried most of her blinding tears, she seemed to recognize Perry and threw herself into the soldier's arms with a wail. She kept repeating heroine over and over as she sobbed against Perry's shoulder, and they all just sat there, the Dutchwoman and the four soldiers, until the last of the crowd had dispersed.
“That coulda been my mother.”
Victor gave her a puzzled look, but the lump in her throat kept Perry from elaborating, and she stayed silent as she watched Lieutenant Lipton kindly lead the woman away, having offered to walk her home. Perry grabbed Victor's arm and used it as a crutch to bring herself to her wobbly feet, missing how Joe had offered her his on her other side. He dropped his arm, stuffed his brass knuckles in his pocket, and ran his hand through his hair.
"Your mother?" he asked, careful as could be, careful like he knew how Perry felt. Like he knew what it was like to want to punch the whole world. And that's what made her tell him (and Victor and Doc, of course) about Groningen and what leaving did to her family, about her mother and all the bottles in the cupboards, about how nothing could change what she'd done and why she'd thought she'd had to do it, and—most of all—about what little difference there was between the vultures of Sacramento and the wolves of Eindhoven. Joe looked awfully sorry to hear it all, and Perry itched to hug him but knew she might as well give herself up should she make the attempt. Just as she'd crossed the threshold of staring too long, Lieutenant Welsh popped up and dragged her and Victor away to find them lodgings for the night. His attempt was short-lived, however, and Victor ended up drifting off with Donald Hoobler and another trooper Perry didn't know well enough to name while Perry herself turned to Heffron and Guarnere for direction.
"Why don't ya go with Vest?" the sergeant of the pair suggested, pointing the butt of his pistol over her shoulder before nestling it back into its holster. "He said there's a bed or two to spare where he's goin'. Bet he wouldn't mind the comp'ny."
Unfortunately, Perry didn't know who this 'Vest' character was and ended up wandering on her own for a time. She'd just stopped to peer over a low fence into a stranger's fragrant garden when Joe Liebgott surfaced from the dwindling throng and all but dragged her down the street toward a boarding house with all its windows thrown open. As they walked, he informed her that Guarnere, having realized too late that she wouldn't know Vest if he was two feet in front of her, had sent Liebgott to find her. Lieb, in turn, had secured a room at the boarding house on his way and was certain there'd still be room for Perry. He was immediately contradicted by the frazzled landlady guarding the front door, but what she didn't know was that once Joe Liebgott set his mind to something, that something was going to get done. Then Joe Toye came down the stairs for the sole purpose of joining the persuasion and the landlady gave in, but only on the condition that Perry would share a room with one of the pair. To Perry's astonishment, Toye hooked his arm around hers—seemingly without a second thought—and began to lead her back up the stairs.
"He snores like a train engine," he elucidated, shooting her a smirk as Liebgott began to protest, and Perry could do little but laugh and turn her head toward the window in an attempt to hide her pinkening cheeks.
A few hours passed as they dropped their packs and went to find some dinner, then played poker with some of the other fellas in the boarding house until they got sick of losing to stony-faced Toye and hauled themselves off to bed. Perry suggested they do the same and Joe assented, and as the first stars came out, they kicked off their boots, took one last look out the window at the sunset, and readied for bed. Jostling for a spot in the cramped bathroom down the corridor for tooth-brushing and face-washing purposes left them more tired than before, and they rolled into bed almost as soon as they'd gotten back to the room. The mattress creaked a bit but was comfortable enough, and the pillow was one of the nicest they'd maintained since joining the Airborne. The only issue was the singularity of it:
It was the pillow because it was the only one.
Their lighthearted bickering over who would get it devolved into sleepy grabbing and poorly-suppressed snickering that they tried to bite back for the sake of those trying to sleep in the adjoining rooms. Equally persistent, neither would relent, but then Perry stuffed the pillow under Joe's head and plopped hers down on his chest, tossing both arms over his torso to keep him still. She expected him to squirm a bit, but he didn't, just laughed and laughed until she had to threaten to use the pillow to smother him to get him to stop. A peaceful kind of quiet descended upon the room, and as the darkness become total, neither moved an inch, thoroughly comfortable as they lay and daring to assume the other felt the same.
Twenty minutes later, Perry had drifted off into the land of slumber and Joe Toye didn't know what to do with himself.
He knew he'd landed himself in a sort of predicament as soon as they came into the room and saw there was only one bed. It was big enough for the both of them and Perry didn't seem bothered, but what she didn't know was that something had been nagging at Joe ever since he saw her jump into the fray that afternoon, a kind of fire in her eyes that ignited his own. The day turned to night and all of a sudden, they were sharing the bed and he had no idea how to proceed. Now, this was long before he knew who Perry really was—that 'he' was actually a 'she'—but what he did know was that he'd let her stay there, cuddled up to him like a lover, because every time he looked at her she lit a flame inside his chest. And that flame, stubborn as he was, wouldn't go out no matter how hard he willed it to. But here, in the dark, in the night... it was enough for him to pretend. They didn't have to be who they were, they could be someone else, in the dark.
He could pretend that maybe, just maybe, if he was braver than he was, if things were different in so many ways, if this Private Bloom dozing on his chest was a Miss Bloom instead...
"Get some sleep, Lovely Summer," he mumbled against her hair where it tickled his chin, his heart pounding like the dickens. He hadn't expected any sort of acknowledgment, assuming she was fast asleep, so when he felt her nuzzle her lips against his chest in a half-asleep kiss, he felt a thrill and a chill—and it was all too much. Uncertainty flashed into fear, and he froze where he was, one arm draped loosely over Perry while the other hand gripped the sheets, seeking solace. When at last he tried to get up, Perry made a muffled noise of displeasure against his shirt. The vibrations of her voice shot a shiver up his stiff arms, and he hesitated.
"No," he thought he heard her say in a voice that seemed higher than it should have been. "Sleep. Here."
"Right here?"
"Right here."
And then she was asleep, really asleep. He felt the rise and fall of her chest beside him and wondered at the strange way she curved the top half of her torso away from his almost subconsciously. It was as he lay there that he felt his arms relax, and then his hands, his shoulders, and finally, his heart. It became clear even to his sleepy mind that he wouldn't have gotten up after all, even without her protest. He was just too darn comfortable like this, too darn safe, too darn... happy. So Joe laid back down, closed his eyes, and decided to stay happy—at least until the morning twilight gave way to the dawn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although the first light of day was only just poking through the window, Joe was gone by the time Perry awoke. She sat up, rubbed at her eyes, and felt poorly about herself until the door creaked open and a pair of hands offered two cups of coffee. Joe's gentle smile danced above them, tugging up at the corners when he started to move the cups in a song and dance as Perry tried to take one. She laughed and he relented, handing her a cup, then fumbling in his pocket for one solitary packet of sugar. They split it and pretended it made all the difference in their bitter morning beverages, sitting on the floor and eyeing the world outside the window. Perry kept an eye on her watch and when Joe asked her if she had a hot date, she snorted and told him she didn't want to be late for whatever came next.
"We don't even know what that's gonna be," he said, then, after a beat: "Perry."
"What?"
Joe nodded toward the floor, indicating the bedroom beneath theirs.
"Your foot's tappin' so much you've woken 'em up."
Perry jumped to her feet, flustered, and took a long, hard look at the sunny day while Joe took a long, hard, unnoticed look at her.
"Here's an idea," she said, turning to rifle through her pack and emerging with a block of rations. "C'mon."
Joe didn't get up, just watched her go.
"Where you goin'?"
"It's beautiful out," she said from the doorway. "Don't you wanna eat outside?"
He hesitated, and that was all she needed to know he wouldn't be joining her. Her spirits fell, and her expression must have shown it, for he started to rise, but she waved him back down.
"I'll just go and find Victor or somebody. You- you go back to sleep. Or something."
That was the last time they'd see each other for quite some time. Perry had only just located Victor and Donald Hoobler—dining upon a whole breakfast spread on the upwind side of a haybale—when a runner came past, informing everyone he saw of their proceeding orders. They hopped aboard the tanks of their sister regiment within the hour and started to roll out for Nuenen, receiving a most boisterous farewell from the locals of Eindhoven. At times, Perry was able to glimpse Joe's helmet moving on a tank up ahead and knew it was him from the way his shoulders moved as he talked or listened to a friend. She itched to go see him, maybe make sure they were on good terms, but doubt crept in and held her nerve like a vice. She didn't know who they were anymore, and he didn't know who she was, and all the not-knowing made her dizzy enough that when Lieutenant Brewer crumpled like a sandcastle right in front of her, she didn't even flinch.
The battle didn't last long and ended up a resounding failure on the Americans' part. Things went blurry for Perry after a time and all she could really do was stick to her rifle and her buddies and try not to get shot like Brewer. Her senses only started to clear around the time they made it far enough down the road to safely stop for the night, and panic started to set in as she took stock of who'd kept up with the gloomy crowd and who hadn't. Sergeant Martin spread the word that Sergeant Randleman was missing and—worse—that Victor Rich had vanished with him. Martin was the last to have seen them, which didn't seem to be sitting well with his nerves. With Victor and her squadron leader gone, Perry was already close to her wits' end; the final blow came when an emotionally- and physically-drained Doc Roe informed her that Joe Toye had been sent off the line not ten minutes ago, having been hit badly in the leg during the battle.
Turns out Joe had needed those bandages after all.
"How's your squadron?" Doc Roe asked, and it hurt them both to think it was a question he was asking in Rich's stead. "Everybody accounted for?"
"Everybody 'cept..." Perry looked down, squashing her grief like it was the beetle crawling over her boot. "Well. Might as well say it. Miller's dead."
Roe just shook his head, discontent, and went back to his work. For a moment, Perry envied him, that he had something to occupy his mind with, then felt guilty for those who'd been wounded or killed at Nuenen. Buck Compton went by on a stretcher and tapped her leg, telling her to keep her chin up, and when she told him blank-faced that Randleman and Red were missing, his pained smile fell. She watched him go and kicked at the earth, the voices in her head getting louder and louder. Fortunately, Sergeant Lipton turned up in the right place at the right time. He drew Perry aside in an attempt to assess her clearly-fragile mental state only for her to startle him by letting loose a secret she'd kept for months upon months. Three of the most important people to her had gone MIA or WIA, and now Perry, mocked by a starless sky, let it all spill out. She told Lipton who she was and why and how she'd gotten there, and despite his initial amazement, he got over his shock marvelously quickly. A bit of anger flashed through his expression, then pity, then uncertainty, but by the time he realized her panic, he'd managed to square it all with himself just enough to prevent her from completely losing her shit. Unfortunately, there wasn't a thing he could do to fix the situation other than try and calm her down. Once he'd managed to settle her just enough to think clearly, he sent her to refill her canteen and went off by himself to think things over.
Perry returned to the spot she'd left Lipton and found no trace. At a bit of a loss, she stood and chugged all of the water she'd just retrieved until she felt sick. She sat down until she felt less nauseous, but by that time, the gloaming was turning to twilight and she realized a whole night had passed. In the absence of a sane mind, she hadn't noticed. Still, there wasn't much for an enlisted man to see or do at that encampment other than pace and stew, and so pace and stew, Perry did. Eventually, Sergeant Martin marched over, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her over to Skip Muck in the hopes that he could:
"-calm down the anxious rabbit whose makin' everybody else anxious—oh, for fuck’s sake, would you stop that shaking-"
Perry managed to force her limbs to go still, but in doing so, sent her heart speeding and thumping all throughout her chest. Though she barely knew him and he, her, Skip frowned with concern. He squinted at her face and blinked for a moment, then turned back to Martin.
"Uh, Johnny, you seen Liebgott anywhere?"
She might have winced to think he'd pawn her off on another so quickly if she hadn't been used to such treatment of replacements, but instead, she just sagged and resumed tapping her foot. Skip's look turned sympathetic and he looked close to apologizing before Martin turned over his shoulder and lit up, drawing Skip's and Perry's attention.
"Bull!" the sergeant exclaimed. "Red!"
Reunions were swift and clamorous. Perry was the first to make it to Victor, jumping right on his back and nearly knocking him over. Victor just laughed and asked if she was alright, and she retorted that if anyone should be asking such a thing, it should be her. A crowd started to gather and Perry hopped down, adjusting her shirt and sleeves from where they'd ridden up. She kept looking right at Victor, then at Randleman, then back to Victor as if this was some kind of illusion conjured up by her sleepless, heartsick mind. Fortunately, they were real flesh and blood and had come back to the company after all. For a second or two as she watched Skip walk Victor up toward the medic's station while Doc Spina came down the hill to greet Randleman, she wondered if maybe, just maybe, Joe Toye would pop up from behind one of the trucks and come over just to ruffle her hair and tell her everybody was mistaken, he hadn't been hit this time around.
Alas, Joe was fated to stay gone—and for several months at that.

Intro Post
Hey there! We’re the Jukebox Collective, and this blog is dedicated to our experiences as a collective and posts from our headmates. We consider ourselves a median monoconscious mixed origin (isolgenic/stressgenic) atrium system, and our main (which is mostly Note posting) is @writingnotes520. We also have ADHD and autism, so tone tags would be nice.
Anyways, here's a guide to our members:
SIDE NOTE BEFORE WE BEGIN: WE ARE MOSTLY MINORS!! THE BODY IS A MINOR!! DON'T BE WEIRD!
Note Hey! I'm Note, and I use she/they pronouns. I'm the 'host', but I don't think I created this blog?? I think Shara did it. Anyway, I'm aroace, as you can probably somewhat infer from my name, and yeah, that's about it! My tag will be #ace's experience log (I used to go by Ace here and don’t want to change the tag). You likely won't see me posting much here unless it's about being part of a system. This blog was probably mostly made because the others got frustrated that they couldn't talk openly as themselves on my main.
Andromeda Yo! The name's Andromeda, and I'm the closest we have to Note without being her. I'm technically a fictive, I think? I started off as an OC. Either way, you guys can call me Meda, she/they/it and aroace, and my tag will be #andromeda's musings!
Shara Heya! I'm Shara, she/they. I'm the system's persecutor. I dunno what else to put here. I'm lesbian oriented aroace? Yeah, most of us are aroace, if not all. I don't think this brain feels attraction. My tag'll be #shara's journals
Meadow Hello!! I'm Meadow, she/her! I can't wait to meet people here! I'm the youngest of us, except for my sister Willow! I'm five minutes older than her. :) My tag thingy is #meadow's winds, because that's a pretty tag! I don't think I have a sexuality. But I'm sure having one is fun!
Willow Hiiiiii! I'm Willow, she/her and the youngest here! Apparently I'm supposed to write who I love, but I've never really talked to anyone outside the system! So I don't think I've loved before? Either way, my tag is #willow's whisperings!!
Shade Hey. She/they. Sexuality: What are you, a cop?. Tag is #shade's mumblings. Don't expect me around much.
Apollo Hi! He/him is preferred (one of only three males in an AFAB body with mostly girls, yikes /j). I'm asexual and maybe biromantic? I'm not entirely sure! But my name probably reveals lots about myself, like it shouldn't be a surprise that I love archery, music, and mythology! My tag's #apollo's solos, because Shara and Note wouldn't let it be apollo's serenades :/
Sylvie Hello! I'm Sylvania, but please call me Sylvie. I started off as one of Note’s D&D characters. I was made to be a druid, so I'm the one that will be most likely to be posting about how pretty nature is. So many things are so pretty... But, moving on, I use she/her, I'm also aroace, and my tag is #sylvie's ramblings! (No, Apollo, I will not be naming my tag "Sylvie's Nature Autism". Shut up.)
Rachel Hiya! I'm Rachel Elizabeth Dare, but Rach is just fine! I split very recently, but I'm already getting used to this body! I adapt pretty easily, y'know? Anyway, I use she/her and as you can probably guess, I'm a PJO fictive :D My tag is #rachel's prophecies (even though the spirit of Delphi did not join me here and I am not the oracle in this world)
Perrine Hey. I’m Peregrine August, but I still go by Perrine as it’s what my name still was when I formed. I use they/it/she pronouns, they/it being most preferred, thanks. I’m a Yalokre fictive or interject or whatever the term is, and my tag is #perrine’s songs :) I may seem a bit cold or distant or blunt or whatever, but trust me when I say I’m a good caretaker of the younger ones. I used to take care of the rest of the Lark back home, so I’ve got experience.
Dipper Hi! I’m Dipper Pines, a Gravity Falls introject here along with my sister Mabel. I use he/him pronouns, and go by really any nickname that could come from Dipper. Dip, Dipdop, the works. But only Mabel can call me Dippy, alright? I’m asexual and not sure about my romantic orientation. I also go by Mason sometimes, but I much prefer Dipper! The “_____’s journals” tag is unfortunately taken, so my tag will be #dipper’s findings!
Mabel Hiiiiii!! I’m Dippy’s sister, Mabel Pines! :D I’m a Gravity Falls introject obvi, and I use she/her! I’m demisexual and biromantic! You can call me Mabes, Mabe, May, Starry, or really any nickname! Just not what Bill called me. Dipper and I don’t want to be called the names that that evil triangle demon called us. My tag is #mabel’s scrapbooks!
Romeo Heyyyyyy it’s Romeo Montague of Shakespeare fame 😛 Specifically the 21 year old version from & Juliet which is a super dope musical about my gf where I come back from the dead!! And Juliet has some things happen but I CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD!! Thou canst call me Rome, Romeo, etc I don’t really care, or thou couldst just call me anytime 😉 jkjkjk, I'm taken by my insys girlfriend, Juliet Capulet. My pronouns are he/him but I do not mind he/they if thou prefer to use more neutral pronouns for me, see thee in the #romeo’s soliloquies tag!
Rabbit Hey hey hello! I'm Rabbit, an introject of one of the robots in Steam Powered Giraffe! I am the robotic equivalent of what you call transfem, so I use she/her pronouns and I am aceflux and panromantic! I am 128 years old and my tag will be #rabbit's whirrings.
Francois Hi! I'm Francois Du Bois, a sourcemate of Romeo and Juilet's. I'm from the same musical he's from. Yeah, that's really all I have to say about myself. You can also call me Frankie, but only if we're friends. Oh, also I am taken by my amazing gorgeous wonderful spouse May, and I don't know what my sexuality is. I know I like women and I know I like not women, but that's really all I can say for sure. I use he/him, and like Romeo, I am 21 years of age. My tag is #francois' chords. :)
Telemachus Heyyyyyyyyyy :D My name is Telemachus and I'm the son of Odysseus and Penelope of Ithaca! I'm sourced from Epic the Musical and I'm super duper excited to be here! I mean, I miss my mom and dad, but this is a fun opportunity! I use he/him pronouns, I'm gay, 20 years old, and my tag is #telemachus' legends!! :D
Juliet Hey! I'm Juliet Capulet, a sourcemate of Romeo and Francois. So I'm also an introject from & Juliet! You can call me Juli, July, Jules, Julia, really anything you can derive from Juliet. I am a cisgender pansexual female and use she/her pronouns. I'm taken by Romeo Montague, besties with May, 21 years old, I actually have a birthday, so that's July 31st! My tag is #juliet's adventures.
Jay Heya! Name's Jaylen, but I mostly go by Jay! My pronouns're they/them, and I think I'm some sort'a offshoot of Apollo! Possibly! I'm aromantic and asexual, and Note's been hyperfixationing on steampunk for a good while now, so I'm a steampunk type tinkerator! Anyways, my tag'll be #jay's tinkerings. See y'all around!
May Heyy! I’m May, no relation to Jay <3 I’m an & Juliet introject :). I use they/them or other neutral pronouns, and I’m a nonbinary person with a sexuality I’m not entirely sure about! I’m taken by my beautiful amazing husband Francois, and my bestie is Juliet! I’m 21 years old and can’t wait to have some new experienced in the modern day! My tag is #may’s melodies!
And a guide to our headspace, written by Shara: There's two parts of our headspace: The Violet Plains and the Main Valley. The Violet Plains are where we get sent when we have panic attacks, and we're usually stuck there until the panic attack ends. We don't go there as often now that we're medicated for anxiety, though. Everything is a different shade of purple there, and the weather reflects how the person there is feeling. It's always just one of us, the one fronting during the panic attack (so, usually Note), that gets sent there. The Main Valley is where we all live. There's a main building we can enter that only has a single room, but the room has a control panel for the person fronting and a bed for the person who will be sleeping in the front. (There's also snacks in there. I think everyone's hidden a secret stash not knowing the others did the same. I keep finding bags of Doritos.) Outside the main building there are screens set up for when those who aren't fronting want to watch what's going on, and microphones so they can speak their input to the person in front. Around this main building are our homes. Apollo's is a tower that alludes to the one Daedalus and Icarus were trapped in, and it's also where Note generally likes to stay when not in front ('cause they're fucking nerds.) Mine is super aquatic, think a giant upside-down fishbowl thing that attaches to a lake. (The lake completes the Daedalus' tower vibe Apollo has going on.) Sylvie's home isn't even a building, she just lives in a cozy forest with a hammock and her belongings. Meadow and Willow live on the edge of the forest Sylvie lives in, in a treehouse, and Shade lives in a cave not far away from there. Andromeda lives in a library that Note also loves visiting, but unfortunately the books there don't contain much practical information or memories, it's mostly just stuff about the magic system Andromeda's world of origin uses. Perrine lives in a field in the forest, in a small house that up to four people can stay in at once, and Dipper and Mabel live in a replica of the Mystery Shack. Romeo, Francois, and Telemachus, May, and Juliet live together in a reconstructed version of an ancient Roman villa (that, of course, has a balcony), and Jay and Rabbit live together in a steampunk-type lab.
But yeah, that's the basic info about us!
