Vesuvia Weekly: "I missed this"

Started thinking about the moments where an apprentice's lost memory sparks. About the moment when they start thinking of home. And how their LI's might react.

So have some more OC bullet-point headcanons!

Meleia & Asra

“I missed this,” said Meleia as she and Asra stood on the beaches of Vesuvia, watching the sun set. 

Asra thought nothing of it at first. 

After all, they had visited the beach and the docks multiple times by then. 

The shoreline had always been one of Meleia’s favorite spots. 

But the more they chatted idly about the wonderful view, the more Meleia began to bring up sights that decidedly weren’t from Vesuvia. 

Caverns that she and Asra had never explored. 

A cliffside that Meleia apparently remembered clearly, but Asra had never seen. 

And constellations that simply weren’t visible from their viewpoint. 

Asra tries to deny it in the beginning. 

Maybe it was a dream. Or something that Asra had seen, once, but since forgotten. Or even something from the Magical Realms. 

But the evidence keeps piling up.

And the only true conclusion just collapses on top of Asra. 

Meleia’s talking about the place she was born. 

A place she had never told him about before. 

It takes a while for Asra to admit that out loud. He’s almost worried about the consequences. 

But she doesn’t seem to have a headache. 

And though neither of them truly know where any of these landmarks might be, it’s still a huge clue. 

It feels like a miracle. A second chance. 

Maybe their next bout of traveling will happen sooner than Asra originally planned...

Damian & Julian

“Gods, I’ve missed this,” Damian laughed after a wonderful night of playing music together. 

A normal statement. Until Damian mentions a specific song. 

It was a song that Julian had never heard before. 

That didn’t stop him from joining in on his vielle, of course. Julian was always pretty good at going with the flow when it came to music. 

But once the performance was over, someone offhandedly complimented them for including a Nopalin folk song. 

And Julian’s mind starts whirling. 

The memories that he had given up during his own deal with the Hanged Man had returned to him, but that didn’t mean his memory itself was perfect. 

He knew a lot about Damian’s time as his doctor apprentice. 

But not every single detail. 

Had Damian ever mentioned anything about Nopal? 

And can he risk asking about it, with Damian’s condition? 

The thought drives him to the brink of madness until Damian finally asks him why he’s being so quiet. 

And then the dam breaks. 

Thankfully, despite Julian’s panic after dumping all that on Damian, Damian does not immediately collapse into a headache-induced catatonic state. 

But he does start asking around the market to see if there’s anything else around the city that originates from Nopal. 

Anything to try to spark more memories. 

Or, failing that, grant Damian another hint of nostalgia.  

Nadia & Chimalus

“I’ve missed this,” said Chimalus, just after building an enormous snowman outside the Winter Palace. 

Nadia looked at them, startled. 

As far as either of them knew, Chimalus had lived in Vesuvia for their entire life. And Vesuvia wasn’t known for the heaviest snows. Not without magic involved.  

But Chimalus spoke as though they had built enormous snow creations for many years in a row. 

The nostalgia in their tone was impossible to miss. 

The moment they get back to the palace proper, Nadia is on a mission.

She’s brought out all of the maps that she can find that showcase any remotely snowy areas. 

She doesn’t want to trigger Chimalus’ memory-wipe-induced headaches, but she does drop subtle hints every now and then, trying to find a more specific location. 

Eventually, her barrage of hints is too much for Chimalus to remain oblivious. 

So Chimalus joins the mission. 

The two of them do a lot of research, hoping for anything that might spark another memory.

It takes time. And some other unrelated incidents. But at last, they find a certain city near a certain mountain. 

Nadia has the trip to Galbrada planned within a week.

Vesuvia Weekly: Wardrobe Raids

Just gonna put some little bullet-point drabbles here for the things that my MC's borrow from their LI's or vise-versa... intentionally or otherwise.

Julian and Damian: For the Love of Gloves

Damian is an alchemist. 

Julian is a doctor. 

Between them, they have a lot of gloves.

Particularly leather gloves.

Sometimes, when one is tired or distracted, they’ll grab the other’s gloves.

Despite the fact that most of Julian’s gloves are black and most of Damian’s gloves are brown. One would think they would figure that out, but no.  

Damian has lost count of the number of times he has warned Julian not to bring gloves that were used for handling highly caustic materials into the clinic. 

But he can’t really complain, since some sleepless nights have led to him wondering why “his” gloves got a little too big for him in the past few hours. 

Oswald and Malak spend far too much time each week bringing the gloves back to their proper owners. They practically have a dedicated glove-return business by now.

When it comes to actual, on-purpose clothing swaps, though, it tends to go one of two ways.

One, Damian wears practical clothes and has virtually no fashion sense, so Julian likes to get him some nice clothes every once in a while.

Two, Julian has completely forgotten something important (like a coat that’s actually functional) and Damian lends one of his own. They’re kind of similar sizes, so it usually works. Mostly.     

Asra and Meleia: Sharing is Caring

Meleia’s much more in the habit of finding Asra’s misplaced clothes for him or just making him new ones than borrowing his things. 

Asra playfully “borrows” Meleia’s clothes sometimes, much to her fond exasperation.  

“Really, Asra, if you want to wear a skirt, I can make you one that actually fits you...” “But yours are already so comfortable!” 

The two of them have rather distinct fashion styles, though, so borrowing things doesn’t happen too often.

Asra will always offer his coat if Meleia needs it, and Meleia has plenty of jewelry and other accessories she loves to share with Asra 

(Side note, in their canon, Meleia gave Asra the blue crystal pendant he always wears, as crystals are kind of a “thing” where Meleia was born) 

But that’s really the extent of it. 

The one thing that’s always fair game, though? Scarves.

They have more scarves than they can keep track of. And with the two of them, there are no “your scarves” or “my scarves.” Just “our scarves.”

Nadia, Chimalus, and Portia: Triple Trouble

Clothing and accessories are... interesting with these three. 

Nadia grew up as the youngest member of a royal family. 

She had everything provided for her, and all kinds of things made brand new for her... but she was the youngest, so her sisters had a tendency to gift her with their old clothes because it was cute and wholesome. 

Nadia found the whole thing demeaning. 

So she would never do the same thing to anyone else. Particularly not someone she loves. 

She’s much more inclined to have entirely new outfits commissioned for Chimalus and Portia than to give them anything second-hand. 

Portia grew up with lots of other kids, and absolutely wore lots of hand-me-downs. 

She’s much more comfortable and casual about the whole thing. 

Sure, she enjoys having things that are purely hers now. 

But sharing clothes was pretty much a part of everyday life. 

And though Chimalus is much taller than Portia, she has absolutely no problem tossing them a shawl or a scarf or whatever other accessory they might need. 

Chimalus, meanwhile, is happy to share whatever they can with their two girlfriends whenever they ask, though it is a little embarrassing to give such plain and simple things to the Countess and her right-hand assistant. 

So clothing, sometimes, is a bit of a weird subject. 

There is one category that is never awkward:

Accessories.

Nadia: "Why yes, Chimalus, you can absolutely wear some of my jewelry. In fact, keep those earrings, they suit you much better." 

Portia: "Of course, Chimalus, I've got tons of ribbons and hair pins and fun little bracelets for you. Look, I made this one myself!" 

Both Portia and Nadia love showering Chimalus with bangles. 

And Chimalus is rather flattered by the whole ordeal and touched by the generosity.

It’s gotten to the point where Chimalus practically needs a whole shelf just for gifts like that.

And sure, they might be “borrowed,” but Portia and Nadia aren’t asking for them back any time soon... what if Chimalus still needs them? 

[mermaidchan05]

Amazing, amazing, AMAZING comission by @ace--of--swords ! Absolutely wonderful to work with you, and they both look stunning <3  Chimalus looks like royalty I love it so much!!!

🍄 and 🌾 for Chimalus? 👀

ooh good ones thank you!

🍄 What are your OCs favourite snacks? Their favourite comfort food which always cheers them up when they’re down? Favourite meal to make? Do they enjoy baking and cooking and are they any good in the kitchen?

The simplest answer?

Fruit.

Chimalus loves all kinds of different fruits. Fruits make a wonderfully simple snack that they can just grab on the go, or tuck away for later (sadly, in their past, they wound up needing to sneak snacks around in order to get something resembling enough food, and it's a habit that stuck with them even after ressurection). And they generally enjoy sweeter stuff, so that's a bonus!

Their number one favorite snack, though, is fruit tarts. Like these (image source here):

Fruit tarts are a huge comfort food for Chimalus. Got a bit of a nostalgic feel at times, too, even if they can't remember why.

(Next one under the cut!)

🌾 Describe your OC through the eyes of someone absolutely head-over-heels in love with them.

(Oh you mean Nadia? lol sure let's go!)

"Chimalus is beautiful, of course. Though I hardly mean that in a superficial way. Their outward beauty is already incredible, but outshone entirely by their magnificent soul. I have never met a more loyal, determined individual, nor someone with such a kind heart and keen mind. They will do whatever it takes to protect or assist the ones that have been lucky enough to find a place in their heart. They are far more noble than any member of the court I have met.

Chimalus's unyeilding, unconditional compassion has gotten me through some of my most difficult challenges. I can only hope I manage to help them along the way half as much as they have helped me. There is a quiet sort of sadness about them, at times. And they bear so many scars... of all kinds. Perhaps, someday, we will find the truth of those hurts together. No matter what their past may be, I will stay by their side. Always."
