fun changel fact! timeline 777 has their own sort of "organized religion" centered around the very first changeling child, rubis de la lumière. they call her the first one or lumi. to honor her, they have a celebration on the first day of each changeline year named lumens. everyone turns a year older as they don't celebrate birthdays (except for their 40th as a graduation ceremony from changeling to changel) and buy small presents for each other and offerings for the fanys sancthys, an emerald fountain at the heart of the timeline (777 is relatively small compared to others and is about the size of a city) carved to look like lumi.

#random thoughts #time passes differently in all the timelines. for example. in freya's and silas'#(which is called timeline 46. and also is where lumi comes from.)#time goes as it does here. because. this is timeline 46.#but then in timeline 777 it actually goes about five times more quickly.#do not ask how!!#if you have come from another timeline you can actually feel the pull of time on your body.#it is very cold. which is why changels tend to dress warmly.#(but they do not wear shoes for whatever reason according to my original text ??????#i may. remedy this. actually. luckily i have time today!!)#anyway. it hasn't actually been a thousand years since new changelings and their families came to 777.#i mean. it has. but not on timeline 46. it's only been about two centuries for them. (':#instead of saying thank god!! they say thank lumi!!#other oh-my-god-like exclamations include:#o lumi!! lumi grace me (or any pronoun depending)!! lumi beathys!! lumi save me!!#lumi can also be replaced with the first one. or light.#also. the surname bestix comes from change-latin beathys. of course.#there's also lumi shame you which is like. the changeline equivalent of fuck you.#so you can say o lumi shame me!!#and it's like. oh fuck me.#the changels don't know what fuck means leave them alone okay.
