y’know what? screw it. i’m doing a thing where i explain how the song “our word” from 36 questions fits my dsmp ocs cassia and wilt. i’ll also give you the vision i see in my head that i see when i listen to this song while thinking about these twins. here we go:

warnings: abuse is mentioned/kind of discussed, there is mentioned violence (it’s...the dsmp), self-harm is implied/discussed, drug use is mentioned (but with minecraft potions), and a suicide attempt, and what was going through that person’s head during it, is also discussed. this is also going to be rather long.

this is about the dsmp characters

how i imagine this even happened: it’s sung from cas’s pov to quackity (the dude asked about the twin’s childhoods and about how the pair had been doing since coming to the smp. wilt had told q to ask cassia because “she’ll be far more honest about it”)

“When I was a little girl,

like really little, like eight or so,

I was playing in my father’s study,

a place in the house I wasn’t supposed to go.

My father fancied himself a sailor,

his study was filled with nautical decor.

He kept a boat in a bottle on the top of a shelf,

and it shattered on the ground when I slammed the door.”

cas refers to an incident where she accidently broke something of her father’s while the twins were home alone once.

“I told my mother everything.

I told her I was so, so sorry.

She told me ‘Don’t cry,

when he comes home tonight,

we can make everything okay.’”

to be more accurate, replace ‘mother’ with ‘sibling’ and replace the she/her pronouns with they/them. now, one thing to note about the twins is that their parents weren’t the best people (putting it lightly). while their mother was better than their father (who was verbally and emotionally abusive to both of them), she still wasn’t great. the best description i could give of her is that she’s emotionally neglectful (as well as being the type of person to go “you can’t be depressed; you have such a good life!” and “if you’re depressed, just be happy!”; trust me, this will be shown later). due to that description, cas’s mild panic at what had happened is a bit more understandable. she was afraid of getting yelled at and getting in trouble. she goes to wilt, looking for comfort and to apologize for what happened. of course, wilt had a plan...

“‘This is all we have to say:’

‘We don’t remember a boat in a bottle,

it must have fallen off it’s shelf alone!

We know you loved it,

we’re so sad it’s broken,

but neither one of us was even home!’

And it’s our word,

yes our word,

against his.”

now, i feel like wilt just told their father “Wait, something broke? Well, me and Cas were playing outside, and we didn’t hear or notice anything. It’s not our fault!” either way, whether he believed what happened or not, wilt took control of the situation and most likely took the blame for the event. the seeds of cassia’s dependency on her sibling were sown early on in their childhood...and it’s something that wilt won’t take true notice of this until the pair gets to the smp...

“So I hid screw-ups from my father,

Made up school awards to please my mom.

Whatever made the steak taste better,

whatever kept the waters calm...”

As the pair grew into their teens and into Very early adulthood (age 18), wilt became known by their parents as being a troublemaker; a Bad Kid. they gain mostly negative attention from their parents (mostly their father). on the contrary, cassia grows up feeling like she has to be the straight-A student; the Golden Child, The Favorite. she tries to keep as little of her parents’ negative attention as possible. to keep the peace...

“I was told to keep their secrets,

and in turn they’d keep mine.

As I got older, I got dumber.

I couldn’t help but cross the line.”

as the twins grew up, they continued to help each other by keeping each other’s secrets (mostly wilt keeping cas’s and getting in trouble). as the pair travelled the world, they came across the dream smp. they not only joined the server, but soon joined l’manberg as well, both as medics. cas refers to this as one of the biggest mistakes she’s made; one that made her “dumb”...

“Three times I nearly wrecked my life...

Three times I nearly came to ruin...”

there were three times on the server where cassia was pretty sure she was almost doomed:

-before the final control room, wilbur told the twins that he needed to take one of them into battle (not both of them; he’s not stupid. that’s far too dangerous...). cassia isn’t good at combat and has a horrible fear of serious confrontation anyway. as much as she wanted to help the revolution, she was terrified of actually going into battle.

-cas witnessed tubbo leaving to go to pogtopia and even helped him sneak out, but realized that schlatt seemed suspicious of her and began to panic. due to schlatt’s behavior towards niki and the fact that the only real reason that he was being “nice” to her was because he didn’t want to piss off the only doctor “willing” to work with him... yeah, making this dude mad was not something cassia wanted to do.

-during the exile arc, cas and wilt had finally managed to get dream to allow them to visit tommy, just to make sure he was okay (y’know, doctor and therapist and all that). cassia was the first to visit, doing a bit of a (mental) wellness check. during her visit, she noted on tommy’s file that he had “injuries of an unknown and suspicious origin.” that note was meant to be for wilt’s visit the next day, where they would check up on him, take care of any injuries, and try to gauge what the general safety of the area is as well as tommy’s health. when she left, dream caught a glace at her notes and started acting...weird around her on the walk back. cas, with her fear slowly climbing, rushes back to her office and tells wilt to get there quick and explaining the situation.

“Three times went crying

to my parents,

who said they’d make it go away.

Yes, this is all we have to say:”

during each of these, wilt promises to help; promises to make it go away.

“‘We never rented a house in Sedona.

We didn’t see Camille the day she died.

We haven’t been on our boat in some years now

so we don’t care what you found inside.””

for each of the statements:

* “We never rented a house in Sedona”-wilt took cassia’s place during the revolution, leading them to die in the final control room by dream’s hands. but hey, cassia’s safe, right?

* “We didn’t see Camille the day she died.”-wilt tells schlatt that cas just sent tubbo to get potion materials, and to leave her alone about it.

* “We haven’t been on our boat in some years now so we don’t care what you found inside.”-wilt tells dream that cas’s notes are none of his business; that it’s doctor-patient confidentiality. they tell him that they don’t care what he saw because it’s none of his business anyway.

“And it’s our word,

yes our word,

it’s our word,

yes our word,

against theirs.”

things end (relatively) well for the twins. but, after each event, cassia’s anxiety (and self-hatred, especially after exile) begins growing.

“Somebody was paid

to make it go away.

Everyone was paid

to make the problems go away.

Doesn’t matter who gets screwed,

or who is blamed,

or what you need to do

to clear your name.

An inconvenient truth

can be easily erased.”

this section of an animatic would show how things progress after doomsday. it shows the worsening of cas’s mental health as time goes on; her clear guilt over what happened to tommy during exile, believing she could’ve done more. she tries to continue on with her therapist job up until wilt leaves for las nevadas. as cas’s mental health continues to dip further and further, she tries to hide her problems from her twin; to prove she can take care of herself. after all, she’s a grown adult. she should be able to take care of herself by this point, right? She views her problems as an inconvenience to her sibling (“An inconvenient truth can be easily erased”).

this next part is where cassia tells quackity about the time where she reached her lowest point…

“When I was twenty-six,

I was living in NewYork.

I developed some “Fun Habits”;

put my white blood cells to work.”

this is where the self-harm is implied. cas never Explicitly tells quackity anything, she only ever really goes “I’ll let you guess for yourself what I’m referring to.” at this point, she’s living alone, her sibling has moved pretty far away and she doesn’t have constant contact with them anymore (as well as not wanting to bother wilt anyway), and her mental health has pretty much tanked and her self-esteem is non-existent. yeah…she’s not doing well.

“I remember it so clearly:

I was home alone on a Tuesday night.

To level out, I popped some downers,

but couldn’t seem to get my mind right.”

cas, one night, was definitely not doing great. she tried to take some potions to see if anything would help, but things didn’t calm down or improve. and so, she decided to take a walk out to the oceanside…

“I drew a bath and slipped into it,

then suddenly became aware:

I couldn’t keep my head above water.

I took a final gasp of air.”

cas ends up accidentally falling into the ocean. as she realizes that she’s too weak to try and swim back up. she doesn’t even have the physical or mental strength to want to climb back up. so she simply decides to wait for her breath to finally run out.

“And as I lay there helplessly,

a million different thoughts came to me.

I saw my parents

hearing the news:

‘Your only daughter drowned today.’

I thought about what they might say…”

cassia, as her lungs begin to let go of the air that she’s still barely holding onto, begins to think about how her parents would react to her death. and what she believes their reactions to hearing about her death, and the fact that it was a suicide, would be, sort of says a lot about what she thinks about them and how they were growing up, in my opinion:

““Our daughter Judith?

No, she moved to Austin!

She’s very happy there!

Or so we hear…

She’s always been so god**mn independent.

The years go by and now we barely see her..””

this is what cassia believes her mother’s response would be. it shows how little her mother seems to really know about her daughter growing up (calling her independent, when cas was actually quite dependent on wilt), as well as refusing to believe her daughter could be depressed and suicidal, citing letters where her daughter claims to be happy. she even talks about how they haven’t seen cassia in a while…

““Our daughter Judith?

You must be mistaken!

You mean the girl we raised

as if our own?

We loved her so much,

she felt like our child!

But eventually we had to send her home…””

this is her father. the reason why he’s speaking as though cassia isn’t his daughter is because he’s basically disowned her and wilt. sure, their mother at least still refers to the pair as her children, but their dad…definitely isn’t anywhere near as “kind” as she is. he’s basically lying during this and pretending he really cares (“We loved her so much” “You must be mistaken!”). as for the last line, he tries to pretend that they sent the kids away for their own good, when in reality, the twins left because they had a bad relationship with their parents.

“It’d be their word,

only their word,

it’d be their word,

only their word..

on it’s own…”

at the end, just before cas started drowning, i feel like sam and puffy were the ones to pull her out and make sure she was okay. the two assume it was an accident, and cas doesn’t have the heart to tell the truth; that she needs help.

(also cassia still has three lives, so this wouldn’t have killed her permanently)

and so, that’s where the story ends here: with quackity being aware of the twins’s history and that cassia needs therapy!

yep, i really did a whole lyric explanation for how “our word” fits for cassia and wilt.

#dsmp oc #oc: cassia #oc: wilt #in a nutshell:#c!quackity: so what's your backstory?#cas: ...are you Sure you wanna know?#c!quackity: i mean yeah! all of it!#cas: ...if you're sure-

Ambrose smiles at Perry, watching as she pokes her head out of the bedroom and scans around the hallway. Usually, around this time, Justice would make his final walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water, or Blossom would be applying her nightly acne treatment. Perry wants to make sure that everyone's in their rooms since she doesn't want to bump into them with the first aid kit. The petite Knight turns her head to look at Ambrose, and he's already making himself comfortable by taking off his shoes and jacket.

"Getting second thoughts, Perry?" Ambrose asks as he hides his sneakers and begins to fold his jacket. Perry mentally notes that he's staying the night, and it's good because she was already planning on letting him sleep over.

"I'm worried I'll bump into my siblings or parents with the first aid kit in my hands."

"Then just stay in the room."

"No, Rosie, you have a bunch of cuts, and they could get infected." Ambrose shrugs, and Perry pouts, upset that he doesn't care much about himself. She doesn't wait for a reply and leaves the room, power walking to the bathroom. Perry grabs the first aid kit and quickly goes to her bedroom, shutting the door behind her with a big sigh. Ambrose chuckles and sits on the chair as Perry starts taking care of his injuries.

"Tell me about Cassia."

"Oh, she got in a fight with this kid named Randell because he was bothering her friend Jocelyn. Apparently, he said some nasty things about Jocelyn's mom because she uses a wheelchair."

"What a little prick." Perry pokes his lips with the Q-tip, and Ambrose smiles, promising he won't say that again, but she agrees.

"What happened with you?" One thing that Ambrose can't resist is that soft voice of hers. It's gentle and caring, worried about his well-being.

"Soren threw the tarot deck you got me."

"You still had it?"

"Of course, I still had it. It was my first gift from the only person that gives a fuck about me. I got pissed and punched him because he said it was weird and useless."

"I can get you another one." It's true. Perry could run to Guidry, asking him to get her another tarot deck from Faba. Her daddy wouldn't ask any questions, and it'll be a better one since the witch has some interesting ones.

"I know, but he shouldn't have done that."

"You're not wrong about that."

Title: Year of the Reaper Author: Makiia Lucier Genres: Historical Fantasy, Mystery Pages: 336 Publisher: Clarion Books Review Copy: Received an eARC from the publisher Availability: Available now

Summary: The past never forgets...

Before an ambush by enemy soldiers, Lord Cassia was an engineer's apprentice on a mission entrusted by the king. But when plague sweeps over the land, leaving countless dead and devastating the kingdom, even Cas’ title cannot save him from a rotting prison cell and a merciless sickness.

Three years later, Cas wants only to return to his home in the mountains and forget past horrors. But home is not what he remembers. His castle has become a refuge for the royal court. And they have brought their enemies with them.

When an assassin targets those closest to the queen, Cas is drawn into a search for a killer…one that leads him to form an unexpected bond with a brilliant young historian named Lena. Cas and Lena soon realize that who is behind the attacks is far less important than why. They must look to the past, following the trail of a terrible secret—one that could threaten the kingdom’s newfound peace and plunge it back into war.

Review: [This book contains graphic depictions of violence, assassination attempts, murder, descriptions of corpses, serious illness/epidemic, prison labor, xenophobic violence, and references to medical torture.]

I loved Makiia Lucier’s Tower of Winds duology, so I was thrilled when I found out she had another historical fantasy (standalone, this time) coming out this year. I’ll admit I was a bit hesitant to read YEAR OF THE REAPER considering our current pandemic, but fortunately, the plague in REAPER is much closer to the bubonic plague than it is to COVID-19. It’s also largely over, in the sense that the cast doesn’t have to deal with any active/ongoing outbreaks in the present.

It's also not over, and that’s one of the things I love most about the book. The plague (and the war before it) had huge, sweeping affects in the world of REAPER. On a national level, the king retreated to a mountain stronghold to avoid the worst of the plague, and on the personal level, many characters lost some, if not all, of their family. Cas himself is a survivor of the plague—and can now see ghosts. There are bridges without toll collectors and castles without owners, and the world is filled with the survivors and their grief.

Despite the losses that haunt virtually every corner of REAPER, the world and characters are rich and well developed. I have a tremendous weakness for “coming home” stories, and Cas’s was especially moving. Lucier is very good at writing quiet moments that nonetheless rip your heart out. Lena was also a great character, and I appreciated her cleverness and her determination to live up to her grandfather’s legacy as a royal historian. It was thanks to her that many significant advancements in the plot could be made, and I was incredibly fond of her. Cas and Lena’s friendship—and then romance—was rather sweet. I appreciated how they grew to respect and trust one another even as they started to doubt the people around them.

As for the mystery itself, genre-savvy readers will have a fair chance at guessing the main twist, even if some of the finer details end up being a (gut-wrenching) surprise. Cas and Lena’s investigation into the mysterious assassin and their motivations are incredibly enjoyable to read. Lucier does a great job with the pacing and the many plots that have to be juggled. She deftly interweaves politics with personal feelings and motivations, which makes for an incredibly engaging read.

Recommendation: Get it now, especially if you love historical fantasy. YEAR OF THE REAPER is a fantastic novel about loss and grief and the decisions survivors have to make and then live with. I finished REAPER in one sitting, cried twice, and hope to get the chance to reread it soon.

Trying to resist shipping Sylv with Cassia. Not sure if I am succeeding or not. 😅

#this is unfortunate like I made Cass bc Im gay and I wanted a badass highlander/garlean with some typical aesthetic choices.#genuinely. they would unfortunately work. but Sylv probably deserves better. even tho I love Cassia too...#I want to put her with Aym*ric and that might still happen butttttt that would take more work tbh and I dont want to force it hmm #the only requirement for Cass and Sylv to meet is p much just at what point she's being exposed to Persi's life.#personal q #this started as a gay joke in my head and now it's haunting me
