I need more people in the stormweaver/iron prince fandom for so many reasons that I’ve compiled a list
The story is great and doesn’t get nearly enough attention Whatsoever
CADs??? They’re so cool??? Like “yes this is living evolving armor that grows with you and adjusts to your needs, there’s multiple weapon types/categories and they come in COOL COLORS like pink and black and blue and purple and green instead of just silver and they’re all individualized” seriously there’s a character whose professional fighter name is Stone Lily and she has bright pink and gray armor and absolutely Wrecked people in the SCTs (professional simulated fighting tournaments)
CADs can also get special abilities as they evolve and get more individual the higher their level
Anyways I need people who make self inserts and OCs and assign them CAD Types and design their armor because imo it’s much more interesting than Harry Potter houses (sorry not sorry)
the characters are Cool and I know people on here would go Feral for them
I know that someone (or multiple someones) on this website would probably imprint on Logan Grant the second he appeared on screen because he is an Asshole Pretty Boy with (spoilers) ………………………..a tragic backstory
Rei is The Best I Love Him and I want him to live his best life and Destroy People. He’s our MC and he’s got really fun to read characterization, is disabled, and kicks butt
There are multiple women with interesting, strong characters
one of the main characters (Viv) is openly bisexual and very clear that she has a preference for women but DOES like men and if you try to make her choose she will tell you to stick it where the sun don’t shine
Valera Dent could literally glare down her nose at me and I would thank her
As the books (2 out so far) go on there’s more and more casual queer characters that Exist like normal people
the world is pretty narrow focus right now because a lot of the setting is in just a few places but there’s a lot of potential for HUGE worldbuilding as our MCs get more powerful
theres more to this list but I’m posting it now because it’s getting long and I’ll forget otherwise

Anyways. Medical Transition in the warformed universe.
(inspired by shorline's t4t aria/rei post here)
This is the future. There are designer babies, an open bisexual in the main cast, and most medical procedures are said to be edging towards being perfected.
why shouldnt there be far easier access to medical transition?
theres all this progress, and cosmetic procedures seems common enough, given all the designer babies running around. so i firmly believe that transition is common and fairly simple to access.
i even think you could probably achieve less conventional transition goals.
Want to go full opposite sex characteristics? sure! want a mix? yep, we can do that! want just your secondary stuff changed? that too! what about no sex characteristics? fine and dandy! what about if you want something that isnt on the natural spectrum? not an issue!
I also think those who are wards or cad users would probably get it especially easy, given the government is responsible for them.
so yeah. Rei having begun his medical transition early as a ward (im thinking hormones stuff). Aria also probably got hers started early, at the very least due to her parents having a private ASTEROID (i think. idk im tired).

persona for Lilia / hero for Mona / voice for Kieran, please! 🧡
RHYS YOU TREASURE YOU TY <3 lila and mona and kieran my BABIES
🎸 ★ INFAMOUS MC ASKS.
🎸 ★ PERSONA: how does their day-to-day personality compare to their on-stage persona?
shes as prone to reckless behavior as any rockstar, but she spends a lot of time in her own head! muses of the past and the next and that can be the reason for the former? to escape the latter? this can especially be when shes on her own, its been a thing, a way to pass the time (she cites because of boredom but ! shes a liar!), thinking of herself and things she can do for herself is easier than facing your psyche <3. and that translates a bit to her on stage persona as well ! though shes a bit more melancholic, she plays a lot into the "in her own head" melanchilia on stage for two headed mother!
🎸 ★ HERO: what is their favourite thing about G? why is your MC such a big fan?
i think for her what was so alluring of g as an artist for mona that sold for her that he was an artist she admired was that he sought to give artists the platform to introduce their music to an audience, to be shown love and appreciation for their music the way that fans and those around g did for him. the BOTB being a way to showcase new talent and give them a platform for that is really what made mona admire g as an artist 🤍
🎸 ★ VOICE: what does their singing voice sound like? do you have voiceclaims(s) for them?
MY FAVORITE QUESTION i get to yell about the babies influences and sound AHH. i really love the voices of blood orange, steve lacy, paris texas, enumclaw (a pnw band!!!!), kevin abstract, brent faiyaz, tamino and omar apollo for kierans sound! as for his voice claim, i really love alfred enoch for a voice claim! kieran was born in england and lived there until he was about 15 when he moved to the us in the summer before he started high school, where he would meet his future bandmates in lost in london!
#👑: rhys#nokstella#oc: lilia laurent#oc: mona mora#oc: kieran kinsey#lost in london was inspired by the one time kieran at age five...... got lost in london ksajxkjn#and who doesnt love alliteration <3 thus the name lost in london was born!#lila subverting the persona of a rockstar on stage to be melancholic but prone to the recklessness of rockstars in her real life my beloved#but also her writing aria of agatha / strangers the song she wrote post seven (and one she cant perform bc its emotional for her and YIKES)#she tunes into that melancholia for her song writing as well!#mona was SOLD on misfit and g as an artist on learning they were starting the show BOTB to lift up their fellow artists <3#she thought it was the most lovely thing of them with their platform you know? and it really made her admire them <3#when i tell you this if means the world to me as i get to yell about artists and genres that are so dear to me and make ocs inspired!#leg.ocs#leg.txt#leg.asks#ash being a saint for making these banners AHH

Above: Sandra Church, Jack Klugman, Lane Bradbury, Ethel Merman, and Peg Murray in Gypsy.
Gypsy, the musical based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, opened at the newly-refurbished Broadway Theater on May 21, 1959. It had a book by Arthur Laurents, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and music by Jule Styne. Originally, Sondheim had been slated to write the music as well as the lyrics, but Ethel Merman was nervous about entrusting the whole thing to such a young man (he was 29). Jerome Robbins directed and choreographed it.
Despite the title, the star of this show is Gypsy's mother, Rose Hovick, the stage mother to end all stage mothers. Often described as monstrous, she ruthlessly pushes her two young daughters into vaudeville, spotlighting the pretty blonde, June. But vaudeville is dying, and the girls are eventually forced into doing their act in burlesque theaters. It is there that one of the dancers persuades Louise, the "plain" brunette daughter, to consider striptease. She blossoms, of course, and becomes the famous stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. Her sister runs away and becomes the actress June Havoc.
Above: left, Jacqueline Mayro as Baby June (doing split) and Karen Moore as Baby Louise (Uncle Sam). Right, Sandra Church as the adult Gypsy and Ethel Merman as her mother.
The score is chock full of what would become standards: "Let Me Entertain You," "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "You Gotta Get a Gimmick," among others, as well as the most exciting overture in all musical theater. But the crowning musical achievement was the show's final song, "Rose's Turn," which one critic described as a "quick-mix of aria, stomp, anthem, hymn, recitative, shout, [and] wail." It's also the essence of the integrated musical number.
Above: Ethel Merman and Maria Karnilova.. Right, Jack Klugman and Merman.
Gypsy is often mentioned when the question of Best Musical Ever Made comes up. In addition to a film and a television version, it has been revived on Broadway four times; it would have been five if not for Covid. The 2015 West End production, starring Imelda Staunton as a stunning Rose, was supposed to have transferred. But the production is available to watch on DVD.

b i o g r a p h y .
aria jade liu was born and raised in the vibrant coastal town of key west, florida, as the youngest of five children and the only girl in her family. growing up in a wealthier, non-influential household, she was surrounded by the lively atmosphere of her parents’ chinese restaurants, which served as both a gathering place for the community and a source of pride for her family. despite their comfortable lifestyle, aria's parents emphasized the value of hard work, instilling a strong work ethic in their children from a young age. they often encouraged aria and her siblings to pitch in at the restaurants, teaching them the importance of responsibility and dedication.
aria attended a public school in key west, where her experience was anything but typical for someone from a wealthier family. rather than basking in popularity, she often found herself on the outskirts of the social scene, proudly embracing her quirky interests and passions. while many of her peers gravitated toward trends and social status, aria felt no need to conform; instead, she reveled in her love for all things fashion and dreamt of attending a prestigious design school. her grades were perfectly average, reflecting her relaxed approach to academics, but she consistently performed well enough to maintain a solid footing in her classes, despite her airy and ditzy nature.
however, what aria lacked in academic accolades, she more than made up for with her infectious enthusiasm and kind-hearted nature. she easily formed friendships with fellow misfits and outcasts, creating a close-knit circle that appreciated her effervescent personality. aria's unique perspective on life allowed her to connect with others on a deeper level, earning her a reputation as the lovable "nerdy" girl who could always be counted on for a listening ear or a supportive word.
by her senior year of high school, aria had made a name for herself in key west as a promising designer. several of her classmates began to request (and pay a pretty penny) for custom prom dresses designed by aria, showcasing her unique flair for fashion. her designs were characterized by ethereal silhouettes, playful patterns, and exquisite embellishments that captured the attention of her peers and the community alike. while she experimented with designing everyday clothing, she quickly discovered her passion for creating formal and semi-formal gowns that made women feel like the stars of their own fairy tales. after graduating high school, her parents, recognizing her talent and ambition, invested significantly in her future by sending her to the prestigious fashion institute of technology in new york city, where she would continue to hone her craft and pursue her dreams.
by the time aria graduated from the fashion institute of technology, her talent had not gone unnoticed. during her time there, she had the opportunity to showcase her work in a student fashion show, where one of the judges—a designer for a well-known fashion house—was captivated by her unique take on modern femininity. this connection led to aria being offered a chance to design a small collection for the house, giving her the exposure she needed to establish herself in the industry. the success of that collection garnered attention from various fashion influencers and magazines, skyrocketing her reputation. with the momentum from this collaboration, aria decided to launch her own brand, focusing on bespoke dresses and evening wear that perfectly blended elegance and whimsy. the initial sales quickly propelled her into the realm of millionaires, as her designs resonated with clients seeking the perfect blend of modern and vintage aesthetics.
four years ago, aria made the move to the avalon, drawn by its luxurious atmosphere and vibrant community of artists and entrepreneurs. the penthouse complex quickly became her sanctuary, a place where her creativity could flourish among like-minded individuals. recently, she was cast in the reality show excesstv, a decision that left her both thrilled and apprehensive. while the opportunity to showcase her designs and personality on a public platform is a dream come true, the thought of being surrounded by other strong personalities makes her heart race. deep down, her insecurities bubble to the surface, leaving her to wonder if she can hold her own amidst the chaos. despite her fears, aria is determined to embrace this new chapter in her life, hoping that her effervescent spirit will shine through and connect her with others just as passionate about their crafts.
h e a d c a n o n ' s .
growing up in a family with high expectations, aria constantly feels the pressure to prove herself, leading to moments of self-doubt. she channels this anxiety into her designs, striving for perfection in her work, which often results in late nights spent sketching and refining her creations.
despite her bubbly exterior, aria is a hopeless romantic at heart. she finds solace in reading romance novels and daydreams about finding love while balancing her passion for design. these stories inspire her collections, blending fantasy with her unique aesthetic.
aria's fashion line is called 'seraph' and it is completely inspired by teuta matoshi's beautiful gowns, which you can check out here!
each morning, aria dedicates time to her creative ritual, which includes journaling her dreams and ideas for designs. this practice not only fuels her creativity but also helps her clear her mind before diving into the day’s challenges.
though she often wears pastel colors and feminine styles, aria has an unexpected love for indie pop and alternative music. she frequently attends local concerts, using music as a way to unwind and embrace her playful side outside of her design work.
she has a specific color palette she leans towards when designing, favoring soft pastels and muted tones that evoke a sense of calm and femininity, which she feels reflects her personality.
when she’s working on a new collection, aria loves to play upbeat music and dance around her studio, finding joy in the creative process and using movement to spark new ideas.
aria has a knack for baking and often treats her friends and neighbors to homemade goodies. she's a firm believer that food brings people together and helps her unwind from the pressures of work, something her parents instilled in her at a young age.

if I finally actually write the warformed au that’s been brewing in the back of my mind for the past months would the tiny amount of people who actually know what warformed is on this site be interested?
I’m going to write it for myself regardless eventually because I’m going to perish waiting for book three otherwise, but I’m not sure if I’ll actually put it up anywhere
#Also if so do you want the sci-fi mulan-ish au or the changed timeline one#because they’re both giving me brainrot and I’m not sure which to tackle first ;-;#warformed: stormweaver#warformed#reidon ward#aria laurent#I should probably just make summary posts for both of them alslkdjfj#I’m tired and it’s showing lol

Thinking about the interactions
The way Rei just wants Aria to smile and laugh and be happy more often an that he realizes watching her with Viv.
The way that Viv and Catcher fought for french fries was so fun, I adored it.
When Aria slid her arm into Viv's, and how relaxed and confident she seemed compared to previous hangouts.
How Catcher behaved in the hospital after Rei got beat up on by six people.
Aria and Catcher making sure that the situation after Rei woke up in the hospital gets handled with (relatively) level heads.
They all just are so wonderful when they interact I'm just so soft thinking about them being friends.

Recently I've made some interesting and surprising findings about mor that seem lesser known in the fandom (or maybe I just don't dig deep enough) Also I accidentally hit ctrl z while almost finishing up the post that I spent the past hour or so typing and it deleted most of what I've typed......... with tears I retyped everything again SIGH (resulting in me not proofreading any of this) 1. So I remember seeing somewhere that says mor has both Mozart and Salieri's compositions, which I thought it was false because it's all Mozart as far as I know. Until one day I actually looked at the credit a bit closer and found this:
This is the music that plays before victime de ma victoire. Mozart wrote fortepiano variations at 17 years old of Salieri's aria, so they really just used Mozart's version of Salieri's piece from one of his most popular operas???? It made me kind of mad but also this felt like a meta commentary considering it's associated with victime de ma victoire scene. It's a self aware song where Salieri is regretting, trying to come to terms of what he's done, and 'predicting' his failure. It serves as a commentary of the whole Mozart and Salieri matter beyond the scope of the show and ends in "J'ai perdu pour l'Histoire (I lost for history)." In this case it does feel like Salieri is being pushed aside in one of the worst possible ways, and I really wish some of his music could have made their ways into the musical properly. 2. I found a Playbill article talking about mor being in the middle of being adapted into English for Broadway in 2012...... which honestly I'm really glad it failed because I don't have faith that it'd be good. There's already the example of tdv, and the way they talk about it just doesn't seem... great, such as “bring shape and focus to the musical for American audiences” and "When the French write musicals, a lot of their songs are written like pop singles placed contiguous to each other, while on Broadway, it's necessary to have a storyline and a semblance of relationship.” Pop French musical isn't everyone's cup of tea and that's of course normal but the way it sounds like they're going to really Americanize it and rewrite it majorly and by storyline and relationship I take they mean needing musical motifs, reprises, and such. Just makes me feel they should just write a whole new musical?? And maybe it's just me but the tone sounds a little patronizing too? Though I do wish they could have released the cd and dvd in North America just because I'm Canadain lol Also curious if there was a time staging mor in Quebec would have been viable. 3. I spend too much of my time watching mor clips, but I've somehow never looked at performances pre proshot until recently. There were a few changes in the ~2 month (if my memory serves) between premiere and first proshot made to vivre a en crever that surprised me. First 2 screenshots from this video, and the rest from this one.
First of all, no handshake at on se reverra???? It's giving 2 bros chilling in the hot tub 5 feet apart cuz they're not gay
This is a little hard to see but Salieri is kneeling beside the wall as Mozart departs and it had me screaming ;; I know Laurent did kneel but I didn't know it was a thing in the French tour. This video gives a sliiiightly clearer silhouette of him kneeling but he's also blocked by Cavalieri.
Constanze running up to grab Mozart and refuse to let him go really had me by surprise and it's so heart breaking ;;;; I've been debating whether I like this better or the one that they ended up using where she just reaches out to him from the bed, because it kind of changes the tone of the scene.
Anyway thanks for reading if you've gotten this far. There's so many analysis posts I'd like to do but I simply don't have the energy to.... but if anyone wants to talk about analysis I'm more than happy to ramble lol
