If he hadn't been smiling already, he would've started when she mentioned the harmonica. Sure, he mostly kept one on him as a joke, but it was always fun to find someone who played a more offbeat instrument, no matter the reason. "Oh, I can play harmonica a little, too! Mostly just for like...joke reasons, but. That's cool!" And he meant it. "Ah, yeah, I'm trying to get to where I can make some money playing stuff. I'll be honest, all the ones that I'm the best at aren't exactly...marketable. So I'm trying to get better at guitars. I figure once I can figure this one out, I'll be ready to ask people to pay me." Slightly took a second to shake his fingers out, thinking. "D'you wanna try playing something? I can show you something basic, then you can say you can play."

"Me? Oh gosh no. Wait that is a lie. I play a mean harmonica. Don't ask me the origin story though, because it's a little pathetic." In Anna that normally meant that she picked up one too many weird habits while living in isolation since her sister had shut her out for most of her life, but that wasn't really something to just tell to a stranger. She was sort of picking up that her childhood was a little bit traumatic. "I've always wanted to learn guitar though! I just...really love music. And the arts in general! My gosh I'm like a kid at a candy store when I can get myself near some art."

it makes me feel better for sure, but you're right, i've been busy and packed with a lot to do, promoting two projects is not easy, I don't know why I always get in troubles saying yes to everything I can. I haven't seen my kids in two weeks but who is counting. I've missed you even more, not kidding, I always mean to text you but then i remember we are usually at different time zones and I'd be so ashamed if i interrupt your sleep. You're the most gorgeous face of LV so I can't wait to see the new campaign. so are we having the ballerina premiere soon? i'm counting the days to see this new project, you've told me a lot about it and i can't wait!! -me? well, right now I'm in Poland in the film festival but i will be back to London soon, I hope to be in LA before the holidays so we can have our night out as soon as possible. i need to lose a little, relax and get a little tipsy in good company and i can tell you more dirty details about my life. actually, there's nothing too dirty to share but i like to think i have an exciting and crazy life. i've been filming a new spy film and i took some inspiration of you, how to look glorious and bad ass while i do it. well, tell me, do you have any idea where are you going to spend the holidays?

Oh stop, you're not cruel. You're out there living your life and we love that in this house. But if it makes you feel better, you’re officially forgiven—since you promised wine, dancing, and a proper catch-up. Hey, I’ve missed you like crazy. I’m in L.A. right now, buried in a Louis Vuitton campaign and prepping for this massive 'Ballerina' event in Brazil next month. It’s exciting, but I’m running on caffeine and chaos—classic me. Enough about me, though—what about you? What’s been going on in your life? Where are you these days, and how’s everything been? I need all the updates.

Random Thought, please humor me.

SURPRISE: YUUSHA GAINS MAGIC (By absorbing the Magic around her & dealing with Overblots)! Even better, she doesn't need a Mage Stone to control it! What would Yuusha's Unique Magic be & how does she use it? How would Jamil react?

"Magic makes people feel too powerful. Too entitled."

"That is not what magic does. That's just your fear. Fear is what can't be trusted."

HELPPP anon your random thought sent me down into a rabbit hole and i was hyperfixated on this for at least a WEEK 😭

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK BTW I REALLY APPRECIATE IT I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS 💕💕💕

anyways i also had an agonizing realization that yuusha is somewhat twisted elsa/anna because she has:

braid in front ✅

light-colored hair streak ✅

love interest that used her for his schemes ✅

desire to connect with people bc of years of loneliness (and emotional instability) ✅

unresolved childhood trauma in general ✅

(and probably more idk, these are the ones that stand out to me at the moment)

i haven't thought about frozen for YEARS and somehow it's still haunting me.

i have a lot of mixed feelings about this realization in general but the reason i brought this up is because i ended up basing yuusha's unique magic on frozen (not the ice powers part, but more the emotions aspect since elsa's powers work based on her emotions) while also still having aspects of yuu's own personality on it.

(also I'm sorry in advance i keep on dropping random lore about yuu and jamil's dynamic that only makes sense to myself hndsfhdsj)

I'm your friend. You don't have to hide. SHOW YOURSELF.

"Show Yourself" forces the target to say what's actually on their mind as long as she touches them. Since she's not particularly powerful and skilled with her own unique magic in the beginning, it's limited to skin-to-skin contact, and it only lasts for as long as she's touching her target.

If Yuu trained it more, it doesn't have to be skin-to-skin, just as long as she makes some kind of physical contact with her target; and it could last for as long as she wants even if she is no longer making physical contact. (But the longer she keeps it up, the more blot accumulates.) Yuusha would mostly just use her unique magic to mess with people. It'll only be rare that she chooses to use it for something serious.

To add more onto how Jamil would react to these magic shenanigans: They've both agreed on not using their unique magic on each other. To do so would be a breach of trust. (Of course there would be special exceptions but generally that's their agreement.) And since Jamil is still a scheming prick (affectionate), her "Show Yourself" unique magic would be useful. Plus, Yuu would not be against using her unique magic 99% of the time since she is also aware of the usefulness of her ability. Jamil would insist on helping Yuu out on how to use her magic because there was no way she'd get the hang of it immediately. And he knows she would refuse to ask any other (capable) magician for help.

An alternate idea that I scrapped was "Let It Go" where it's essentially Yuu telling her target to let go of their (usually negative) emotions. But those feelings can't just disappear so Yuu basically absorbs them so now it's her burden to carry instead. I scrapped it because I can't settle on how it works. (But it still had angst potential so I couldn't help but draw a bit about it anyway.)

(extra rambling below about yuusha overblot thoughts if anyone's interested hdlfhjgj)

this is a brief tangent from the original question because i also thought, "hey what if she overblotted, wouldn't that be fun"

i could see the overblot going in either two ways:

yuu accidentally hurts grim (or another friend) with her magic. she’s so distraught thinking that even with magic she can't protect those who are dear to her. and so during the overblot she will not actively try to hurt anyone but instead exhausting her magic reserves in an intentional attempt at self-destruction. (yes i also see the frozen parallels shhhh)

OR

something happens that was simply THE LAST STRAW. now she’s too pissed at everyone that she no longer cares about what happens to her or anyone else, going on a destructive rampage. which can also be considered an intentional attempt at self-destruction.

either way, basically, if she can’t go home she’s just going to take herself out and/or the school instead. the girl is not okay.

(there's actually nothing good she can home to, but she's convinced she'll be happy again if she returns. but she doesn't know that because she can't remember shit about her home. that's a separate lore dump post hgdsjfkld)

also the blot monster behind her would look something like marshmallow (elsa's snow monster from frozen) :)

(i also used to have a similar idea for yuusha. i planned to have her be immune to magic *because* she was absorbing it and she didn't realize. leading to an inevitable overblot) (but i scrapped it because yuusha became my victim for jamil x yuu stuff) (like if i can't have the excuse to have jamil use snake whisper on yuu then what is the point)

if the agrestes weren't rich i think that gabriel would be the normal one. like gabe's problem is that he stopped running into natural limits due to absurd wealth and his obsessive nature led him to develop some kind of god complex where he won't accept that anything is out of his control. I think that if gabe was broke again and just simply couldn't afford to go on an international goose chase for ancient magic artifacts of untold power, if he had to work a 9-5 to live and couldn't just disappear into his basement lair to commit domestic terrorism and say evil monologues to himself, then he would be way more normal. he'd just be some guy. he might even let himself have a mowhawk again. but I think that emilie would be way LESS normal if they weren't rich. like emilie needs so many people to be obsessed with her so much all the time in order for her to function. and gabe would still have his toxic codependent obsession with her, sure, but that wouldn't be nearly enough. emilie has to be at the center of the world's spotlight at all times because she doesn't know how to exist if she's not performing. anyway all this to say I am so certain that if the agrestes were not disgustingly wealthy, emilie agreste would one million percent be running a massive family vlogger youtube channel

Isolated and neglected royals/rich kids, who's suffering is never taken seriously, because they tend to suffer in silence, because other people around them "have it worse" and are royal/rich, so "what do they have to cry about", my beloved!

[marichatfurever]

I had a project for school using a laser cutter to print images onto wood and I probably should have asked first (I’M SORRY) but I used @buggachat and @anna-scribbles’ art (again, SORRY I WAS IN A RUSH I HOPE IT’S OKAY). This was a test so there are a few mistakes in it that are pretty obvious and it’s also really messy with all the random lines.

Here you go

While the sheer amount of hachetfield lore we now have access to is amazing, I must admit that part of me misses how things were back in like 2020-2021 when we basically didn’t know anything outside of TGWDLM and Black Friday and had to make up our own batshit insane headcanons that were wildly different from one another.

Like remember that one 50k+ word fic where Ethan was simultaneously Hidgen’s time-traveling older brother and Xander and McNamara’s adopted son? That was rad as hell.
