[spooky-donut-ghost-house]

Some Rockstarverse headcanons

The book that Jack tells John about in RDR1 is about Red Harlow the book was written by a close ally of Red Harlow, Jack Swift

The book found in Franklin's condo in GTA 5 called Red Dead is the book written by Jack about the entire story of the Van Der Linde gang including what happened to Mary Beth Gaskill, Sadie Adler, Charles Smith, Reverend Swanson, Josiah Trelawney and Tilly Jackson by 1911

Eddie Low is actually the great nephew of Edmund Lowry Jr. and Eddie Low has been in quite a few snuff films directed by Lionel Starkweather and produced by Valiant Video Enterprise

Jimmy Hopkins is the son of James Earl Cash, Gary Smith is the younger brother of Leo Kasper and Petey Kowalski is the nephew of the journalist in Manhunt

Michael used to be a fan of Lionel Starkweather until he found out the depraved shit he did

Michael is also the nephew of Tommy Vercetti

Marshal Leigh Johnson is the grandfather of Cole Phelps

Trevor actually has met Mr. Nasty before and has starred in some snuff films Mr. Nasty himself says that Trevor could be the next James Earl Cash

The IAA has ties with The Pickman Project

Steve Haines is the great grandson of Edgar Ross

At Cole Phelps' funeral there was a man in a suit and top hat with a handle bar moustache nobody knew who he was though

Accounts of the same man have been spotted in Carcer City, Los Santos and Liberty City the man was also said to be in the town of Brimstone back in 1891 but nobody seems to know who this man is but it seems wherever there is death this strange man seems to follow

Castti kinda wants to make a new Eir's apothecary but she's just so tired of everything. H'aanit only recently got Z'aanta back and he's still recovering from being stone so she's just chilling at home in S'warkii. Castti stays with them and becomes so so close with H'aanit. And eventually Z'aanta suggests that they go out traveling again because he knows how happy H'aanit is to see the world and explore and Castti still wants to help people. They go out as the new Eir's apothecaries, with H'aanit being more than happy to support Castti whenever she needs extra help.

ONTO THE HEADCANONS!!!

Castti gets really cold really easily so she often naps on Linde bc Linde is so so warm. H'aanit also let's her use her fur cape as a blanket.

Castti is medium normal height and H'aanit is absolutely MASSIVE (5'6 and 6'4 respectively) so H'aanit also loves carrying Castti just cause. This works out perfectly because Castti has trouble walking long distances

H'aanit beat Edmund to a pulp

Castti basically interrogates H'aanit about all the weird herbs that can only be found around S'warkii

Before the qpr then Z'aanta would CONSTANTLY tease H'aanit about her liking Castti as if they're not both aspec

When H'aanit and Castti do get together then H'aanit immediately sighs cause she's dreading explaining to Z'aanta that he was only a little bit wrong

castti and h’aanit…. the ever… them just traveling together as a new eir’s apothecaries to help people is v nice..

CASTTI NAPPING WITH LINDE TO GET WARM. PIE IM SHAKING YOU FRANTICALLY THINKING ABOUT THE TRAVELERS GETTING COZY WITH LINDE ON COLD NIGHTS MAKES ME WANT TO EXPLODE!!!!!!!!! KITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[da-millerrrrr]

Octopath party but it's my two favorites from each game so H'aanit, Olberic, Osvald and Castti. There's no small talk whatsoever and they've never fought or argued. Castti is the team leader. She doesn't remember her past but still has that leader instinct and she's the most talkative. When in doubt, she consults Olberic cause he's also extremely good at leading.

Silly stuff:

Osvald goes days at a time without saying more than two or three words but starts talking a lot when it comes to encouraging H'aanit to ask out Eliza.

Everyone is very quiet and doesn't interfere in each other's personal business except when it's to get H'aanit to ask out Eliza.

Castti and Olberic are besties. No need to explain, even the square enix artists agree.

When they go to Healeaks, Linde acts super weird and is very cautious cause of the lasting poison rain smell.

Elena and Philip both absolutely adore Linde.

Edmund says something mean to Castti and before she can even reply with a snarky remark, Linde has torn his face to shreds.

Melia also adores Linde.

Osvald secretly envies the comradery between Olberic and Erhardt. He admits that and the three of them get drunk while thinking of ways to hurt Harvey beyond repair.

Castti and H'aanit choose not to help them and instead have a girls' night. They walk around the market looking for new herbs :]

Castti thinks the redeye is the most horrific thing ever but is also deeply fascinated by it. Olberic gets turned to stone during the battle and she interrogates him about how it felt.

When Elena is recovering her memories and still wary of Osvald, H'aanit, Castti and Olberic babysit her a lot. H'aanit teaches her how to do fancy braids and care for animals.

Osvald would've died in the snow if Linde hadn't smelled and dug him up.

pie i adore how your mind works i want to study you

Which accents come from each place on gaia like does the British accent come from from seelie or smth

This is a complicated question to answer. If you want more info, I talked about it before here and here.

I personally imagine the Damijani and the Mogdiri having British-esque accents. Same with the Barhatians (like Skel, Dario, and Jasenia)

I think the Evangelites have a broader range of accents among them, but most notably: central (the "formal" way Evan and Sofia speak), western (the "twangy" way Edmund and Lorenso speak), and eastern (has more of a Folkvaran/Halostiran sound to it, like a less intense version of the way Glenvar speaks).

All peoples of Umory-Ond--meaning Seelie and Unseelie--have a particular accent that's vaguely Irish-sounding in my head. Tojum, Linde's mother Riona, and Reaper all speak this way.

Matuzan accents are all over the damn place. That kingdom is just so huge and its populations come from all over the world, there's really no single "Matuzan accent".

Northern Zareenites have a Halostiran twang (similar to Glenvar) while southern Zareenites speak kind of like west coast Americans (the way Alaine speaks).

These are just my personal interpretations. I intentionally wrote these accents in an ambiguous way so the reader can imagine them any way they want to. :)

The George Peabody Library I had to take a week off from these posts due to personal stuff, but I’m back this week with some photos from a recent trip to Baltimore. This is the inside of the George Peabody Library. The interior of this library is one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. It was completed in 1878 and was designed by Baltimore architect Edmund G. Lind to be a cathedral of…

"MISS CATHERINE HAYES", The Sydney Morning Herald (12 September 1854)

[Press release]: We feel confident that our readers will thank us for presenting to them a few particulars of the career of the gifted cantatrice who has just reached our shores. Miss Catherine Hayes was born in Limerick. At an early age her beautiful voice won for her the patronage of the late Hon. and Right Rev. Edmund Knox, Bishop of Limerick. In Dublin, Signor Antonio Sapio was the first singing master of Miss Hayes, in 1841; and her first appearance in public took place at his annual concert in the great room of the Rotundo. In the December of that year she sang at the Concert of the Anacreontic Society. Liszt, the celebrated pianiste, heard her at a concert in January, 1843, and was so struck with her singing, that he wrote to the Bishop of Limerick's daughter-in-law thus: "I do not know of any voice more expressive than that of Miss Hayes, I doubt if, among the singers of the day, there is one equal in extent and volume to what her's will be." During 1843, Miss Hayes continued to be the leading singer of the Anacreontic, Philharmonic, and other powerful concerts in Dublin. Lablache and Costa heard her at the close of this year, and expressed high opinions of her musical abilities. It was on hearing Grisi and Mario, in "Norma," in this year, that Miss Catherine Hayes first experienced the desire to go upon the lyric stage; and, after considerable opposition from her relatives and friends, she went to Paris in October, 1844, to study under Manuel Garcia (the brother of Malibran and Viardot, and the master of Jenny Lind), who after a tuition of a year and a half, advised her to proceed to Italy, in order to obtain the best experience for the stage. At Milan she became a pupil of Signor Felice Ronconi, brother of the great Giorgio Ronconi, and, through the kind intervention of the once famed Madame Grassini (Grisi's aunt), she was engaged for the Italian Opera House, at Marseilles, where she made her debut on the 10th of May, 1845, as Elvira, in Bellini's "Puritani". She subsequently appeared in Lucia, and in Rossini's "Mose in Eguitto" (Zora).

 EMILY ALYN LIND. SHE/HER / have you ever heard of VIOLET by hole, well, it describes WILLA DURAND to a tee! the twenty-three year old, and FASHION DESIGN STUDENT + WAITRESS @ THE BLUEBIRD CAFE was spotted browsing through the stalls at portobello road market last sunday, do you know them? would you say SHE is more closed-off or more CREATIVE instead? anyway, they remind me of lipstick-stained coffee cups littered around her bedroom, late nights working on something beautiful, a well of dreams never running dry & fabric dangling over her shoulder, maybe you’ll bump into them soon!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝚃𝚁𝙸𝙶𝙶𝙴𝚁 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝙽𝙸𝙽𝙶 : car accident, divorce, parental death, mental health, anxiety, mental health facilities

 ⸻  𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘

Willa Durand has spent most of her life being haunted by the same comparison: her mother, Giselle Durand -- who just so happens to be one of the most popular names in haute couture. No matter if it was her beauty, her ruthless, powerful demeanor in the public eye, rarely ever was she to have a strength that was entirely her own.

While she spent most of her life being compared to her mother, she was loved endlessly by her father. He had always been and would remain her biggest cheerleader up until his tragic death.

Giselle and Edmund, Willa's parents, had an extraordinarily transactional relationship from the moment that Willa was born onward. This effected the way Willa views love deeper than she cares to admit.

Her parents got divorced when she was ten and had 50/50 custody of their only daughter, even if her mother tended to shirk on her responsibilities.

The moment Willa expressed an interest in fashion design, suddenly Giselle cared. Her daughter's career choice soon became about her, and it soon became extremely overbearing.

Willa got her start designing and making costumes for her middle school plays and from there, nothing else made sense but design. This bled into her high school years and throughout her college career has made costumes as an extracurricular.

She was always popular in school, but also made an active effort to hide what was going on at home and just how sad she really was. It is one of her deepest fears that she will burden someone or bring them down into the pit her life has become with her.

When Willa was beginning university in Notting Hill, far away from her parisian hometown -- she got the last call she possibly expected. Her father had been killed in a crash with a drunk driver, and she needed to come home immediately.

Without her biggest cheerleader in her life, Willa spiraled until an anxiety-induced breakdown had her sent by her mother to a mental health facility. Several months later, she was released and is currently preparing to return to school for her final semester of her education.

Very recently began advertising her first collection on Instagram, which has been years in the making. This has gotten her a significant amount of notice on the platform and she currently has nearly 800k followers on the app.

Since her return to Notting Hill a couple of months ago, it's as if Giselle has turned up the pressure on her daughter tenfold, as if it's somehow her fault that she reacted to the situation she was in. While some of her actions are well intentioned, Willa continues to feel suffocated by her mother and her presence but has yet to vocalize it to her.

She continues to grieve her father's loss in private, and has spent every anniversary since his death buying the flowers he used to buy her and having a picnic in the park, something they often used to do together.

⸻  𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒

Stereotypically has a closet filled to the brim with designer brands. Loves every piece of clothing like it is a child -- think Carrie Bradshaw's devotion to her shoes. That's Willa.

Some of her favorite pieces of clothing, however, are things she's made. She mixes a lot of her personal designs with vintage pieces and has an extensive collection that she's been collecting over the years.

A bit cold/Regina George-esque from afar, but when you really get to know her -- she will be a loyal friend until the end.

Smells like Chanel No. 5 and lavender.

more to come.

Alright, let’s do this!

Therion. His design appealed to me and unlocking chests seemed like a very useful skill to have. That and stealing.

Osvald V. Vanstein. After watching the trailers I decided this was the one I was most invested in and I was not disappointed.

Millard! Grew to love him, despite having no personality.

Alfyn Greengrass. Intially I didn’t understand what people saw in him, but became incredibly attached to him very quickly.

Throné Anguis! Everything about her is so amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed her far more than I expected.

Ophilia’s is the most consistently well written. And the voiced boss dialogue in Chapter 4 set her a cut above the others. I have so many thoughts about the themes.

Castti’s story is significant for reducing me to actual tears. Multiple times. Really, I love everything about this story and it is the perfect example of a story in a video game, as well as gameplay/story integration. I could go on about it for ages.

None. I genuinely hate the story in COTC, the good moments being overshadowed by excessive darkness and poor writing choices.

Therion, Cyrus, Alfyn and Primrose for OT1. Osvald, Temenos, Throné and Castti for OT2. Millard, Gilderoy, Scarecrow, Lynette, Molrusso...I forgot the rest...

Brightgrass (Alfyn/Cyrus) for OT1 is a pairing I enjoy a lot. I feel like their dynamic of research parents who both have a passion for helping others (be it through knowledge or medicine) pair very well. They also just seem to have good chemistry in their travel banters! I don’t really have ones for OT2 or COTC. Maybe Temenos/Osvald (Courtesy of Nota) in OT2 and Millard/Gilderoy in COTC (Courtesy of Zazu).

Erhardt, Zeph, Miguel, Esmerelda, Crick, Ort, Malaya, Trosseau, Edmund, Rosa, Melia, Father, Mira, Elena, Clarrisa, Partitio’s Entire Cast, Dolcinea, Gil and Kazan just to name a few...

Linde. The snow leopard has captured my heart.

I love to hate Harvey. But the most fun I’ve had in a boss fight has to be Kaldena.

The Crestlands are so beautiful. They have to be my favourite area out of both games, everything from the soothing music to the beautiful aesthetics.

Timberrain is probably my favourite. Every area in the games is designed so beautifully though.

OT2 just has so many incredible tracks.

Castti or Agnea. They’re such different vibes but I love them both.

Herminia’s OST? I remember Pardis, Auguste and Tytos because I hate them all.

The Cliftlands. When playing Octopath 1, I would fast travel to the Cliftlands just so I could listen to that song before it came out on spotify.

Ku’s theme is a song I could just sit and listen to for ages.

Thief. Aeber’s reckoning is so broken and their whole set of skills is incredible.

I had so much fun setting up my Arcanist Osvald build. Triple hit SP healing brings me such a strange glee.

I really enjoy the sprite art for Starseer from OT1. From OT2, I go insane for those Hunter designs.

Fandom has made me love Aeber to an unreasonable degree. He is consistently mentioned and has so many cool designs and ideas circulating.

Dohter’s ring. I would actually buy and wear that thing.

Fame has the most characters I like, so...that one.

The Temenos path action sprites are so detailed and fun.

The ending art of Octopath 2. It is so gorgeous and makes me so happy just to see it.

A fanfic I wrote on AO3, Starlit Sky!

There is so much I could say here. I have made so many memories of the series, met so many great people because of these games. And it makes me really happy to truly enjoy these games.

...geez that was longer than expected.

I made a little thing for the 5th Anniversary to celebrate the whole series of Octopath Traveler!

It seems to be doing very well on Twitter, so I figured, why not share it here to for people to answer!

Feel free to reblog with your answers, I'd love to see what you say!
