#but I think TL is so similar to a ''normal'' strip song it could be used for a while

[poisonandpages]

Strip show where everything seems completely normal and it isn't until the performer is down to their underwear that the audience realises the song playing is Toxic Love by Tim Curry from the Ferngully Soundtrack (1992)

          * leans into the mic * i wannA BE WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE

thats it. that’s my intro. 

saljdklasj on a more serious note, my internet is wonky, and my mother’s computer is begging to die - so that’s been my afternoon. alas, i am here now and will now attempt to throw together a /somewhat/ cohesive intro. no guarantees :/

i’m vegas, i’m twenty ( yike ) i’m stuck in the est, i’m currently enrolled in university and despite my abhorent patience i also work retail ( so be patient w/ me if i’m slow at times ). i don’t have a discord ( sorry ), but i’m always down to plot ---- though i’m a little awful  @ that as well. i think that’s enough about me ljdLKSJa so i’ll drop ariel’s app here & then go in to some detail about him/them !!

[ agender, he/they ]. did ariel just walk by? the 24/infinite year old angel with the gift of dream manipulation is known for their benevolent, eloquent and clinging, idle behavior. that explains why they resemble ross lynch. doesn’t the lull of sleep, ivory keys & unruly locks remind you of them?

a gift ; like all angels, your father bestowed upon you a gift. one that would allow you to fit in the ranks of the virtues.  you step foot into the dreams’ of others and pride yourself on your work. there’s a certain subtlety to it, but you inspire faith. or at least you did. now the lines have blurred. your gift - their curse. words of inspiration are, at times, replaced with accusations of wrongdoings. ( * the ability is very similar to subliminal messaging. it depends on lucidity, and how much each person remembers of his passings through their dreams is entirely dependent on the person. he can’t alter too much about the circumstances of the dream or what it’s about because the dream isn’t his to meddle with. he can normally simply enter, watch, or deliver messages. essentially based off some readings, “when people are asleep, they may receive encouragement from virtue angels in their dreams”. so it’s not a “godmod” in your dreams - it’s very slight things, but mainly utilised to pass messages, warnings, etc etc. likely something he’d use during the war to try and forewarn people or deter people from doing things. there’s no guarantee these things work though. now though because he’s a bit saltier the messages he’s passing aren’t always positive. it could be confronting/reminding someone of something bad they’ve done, etc. it also may give some insight into a person depending on what they’re dreaming about but again 50/50 because dreams can at times be random - so take it with a grain of salt. 

a fondness  ; your first gracing of humanity and your heart swells. you’ve always been fond of them, even after their falling post-war. in the beginning, you lit up in your brief but meaningful interactions. joined them in song and cheer during their victories and even occasionally mourned their losses. however, you could never stay too long - you were not one of them after all. most of your meetings happened strictly in the name of duty and performing miracles. post-war you help in the little ways you can, but not as much as you probably should. you’ve grown tired. now you admire them from behind closed eyes. most of your meetings take place during slumber, where you can watch from afar and enjoy something that is not the headache you call “life”. sometimes they dream of better times. it is the closest to heaven you can attain. 

a loss ; your wings and ticket home were stripped from you. your favored humans started a war they could not see through but blindly ----- you do not lay the blame on them. your real disdain is for your fellow supernatural, namely purebloods ( for obvious reasons ). you live a quiet life, one most would turn their noses to. a once prim and proper appearance ( suitable of an angel ) has been traded in for lengthy and mistreated second-hand wear. you’re not picky about your living situation. most nights you seek refuge in shelters or if you’re feeling particularly fancy you take to a  motel. you never found yourself work - you didn’t know where to begin with yourself. it’s easier that way. no one acknowledges a stray on the streets. safer. there’s not much that can harm you in this world anyways.

tl;dr ; ariel was an angel who greatly loved humans ( & still does even if they’re a little dumb ). he enjoyed helping them and seeing how they carried on their lives. he’d work closely with them when allowed ( perfrming miracles, etc ), and loved to celebrate and be a part of their happiness. however, this was his downfall when the war came because he likely quickly allied himself with humans without question and ultimately paid the price for it. now he lives a very “under the radar” life. mainly seeking shelters/relying on the kindness of strangers/or just taking a cheap motel stay. he essentially led a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. he’s well aware no one wants to pay attention to someone of low class. his time is usually spent wasted sleeping days away to partake in other’s dreams - because wow it’s just a lot better than this. also not so fond of demons / occasional supernaturals - so when he isn’t sleeping his endless life away - he’s probably taken to hunting them on occasion if an opportunity presents itself or he feels great injustice is being done. 

connection ideas ; 

someone’s whose dreams he visits ( frequency can depend, as well as if they remember it or not ).

people he’s met LONG LONG ago - so immortals or just species who have been around for a while.

give me them friends & enemies, too

maybe someone who let him stay at their place for a night before he ups and leaves

someone he may support or try to inspire via his dream visits ( maybe someone(s) who has gone through a tragedy )

someone he may guilt or torment in their dreams ( they’ve done something bad and he knows it / lets them know it )

listen i’m uhhhhhhhhhhhh super tired. so that's all I've got. but even if ariel can fill connections lmk. badda boom badda bing.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
