[ PART 3 OF EARTH & MOON AU ]

Can anyone understand my handwriting?😅

He actually did this when they were 7 and 2 years old BUT IT WAS ON ACCIDENT

[confusedpandabear]

Luna was meant to have her own DLC to fully flesh out her character before they were cancelled due to SE shenanigans. The DLC ideas were then incorporated into a novel that gave Luna more agency. Basically the ffxv dev team focused their priorities on pointless side crap (like multiplayer and fishing DLC) instead of expanding Luna's role that by the time they got to her it was too late and the higher ups cancelled everything. Same thing happened to Aranea too. Poor girls. They were done dirty.😔

I had no idea about this! That’s such a shame because I imagine people are less inclined to read a novel than they are to play an exciting new DLC. I’ll have to read it when I have the time. I really liked Luna in the game, maybe not so much as a romantic interest for Noct, but as a character in her own right. I’d love to find out more about her.

Is the Stoneheart Pearl a Xianzhou General?

This is a really out there theory and it's based off of really loose connections but after watching the myriad trailers again I thought of something

So as we know from the stonehearts myriad celestia, Pearl was selected by Diamond as chair to discuss Aventurine's punishment and even conveyed Sapphire and Amber's opinions for them. The only other thing we know about her is that she's an intellitron

No big deal, Screwllum is also an intellitron and is an important figure in the genius society as well as his own planet. Pearl is important to the ipc as a stoneheart but what if she's also important to the Xianzhou?

Specifically the Xianzhou Xuling, as their general.

Each Xianzhou ship has its own different population. The Yaoqing has mostly foxians, the Zhuming live side by side with heliobi, and the Fanghu has mostly Vidyadhara.

The Xuling is populated by aurumatons. And their general is named Youwu, the Patina Justice

As seen here, Youwu is described as mysterious and fair. Feixiao mentioned them as well saying if it was Youwu questioning Jing Yuan, it wouldn't have been as friendly a conversation. Let's talk about Youwu's title, the Patina Justice. So what does Patina mean?

As a noun or descriptor, it refers to the substance that develops on metals like copper and bronze due to age. It can also describe the "aura" of someone in this way:

In this case, it may be used to mean that Youwu isn't as just as they come off, especially since they are also described as mysterious. Does no one really know them? The first definition of patina may also apply here, it could imply that Youwu is an old aurumaton or intellitron and they are metaphorically called the Patina Justice to demonstrate their age and wisdom.

The last thing I wanted to talk about was Pearl's vote in favor of Aventurine.

Her reasoning was that she felt he deserved more justice in his life. The captions here use the word justice in quotations which draws attention to the term. It's obvious by the myriad celestia trailer that Pearl is fair, level headed, and was even trusted by Diamond to lead this trial.

However, I do believe she is more fair than just. She balanced the scales for Aventurine. If for example Sugulite voted in favor of Aventurine, I believe she would be fair and balance the scales again. In other words, she would cast her vote to punish him. I don't have much evidence to support this besides the fact that shes trusted to chair this discussion as well as cast votes for other stonehearts, which implies a level of impartiality. If that's the case, she certainly would have the aura or patina of justice.

This is an extremely crack theory about two characters we know nothing about being the same person but I've got it in my head now. It sure would make for an interesting dynamic with the ipc and the Xianzhou and how the politics of that would play out.

i’m doing a rewatch of the last of us hbo and i’m really realizing how cut and worn down joel gets in episode 6.

one thing right after the other happens to him and it’s honestly insane how long he kept his shit together, so i’m gonna spell it out…

and maybe those of y’all that call joel too emotional or soft in the show for having his breakdown can understand why…

within the first few minutes, joel is told by the couple in the cabin that there is a fairly good likelihood that his brother is dead. that alone would have sent me into a spiral and it does really impact joel like we haven’t seen before. after he and ellie leave the cabin, he has panic attack #1.

i’m gonna be a little transparent here and say this: i developed anxiety in 2020 that was debilitating for months and although i am in a much better place today, i’m still dealing with anxiety all the time. during the worst of it, i had panic attacks and while my trauma is nowhere near close to joel’s, i know how draining panic attacks are.

but anyways, he has his panic attack and moves on but for the remainder of the trip, until he is reunited with tommy, he is stuck with the thought that his brother may be dead. and all this time spent protecting him and then looking for him was in vain. he couldn’t save him in time. another failure.

between their reunion though, we see joel having nightmares. in the cave, after he falls asleep on watch, its very clear he wakes up from a nightmare. with the way he immediately searches for ellie upon waking, my guess is that his nightmare was about her.

then they are surrounded by jackson’s patrol. and joel has panic attack #2. once again, about ellie, fearing that she is about to be torn up by the dog, but his panic attack won’t allow him to do anything. he freezes.

there is a brief moment of happiness when he is reunited with tommy but it is quickly snuffed when he realizes tommy’s situation. tommy doesn’t need his help, he hasn’t this whole time, his brother has a wife and later finds out that he is expecting a baby. his brother has been living it up as best as someone can in the apocalypse and never radioed to joel ONCE to tell him he was okay.

at the table, when ellie, joel, tommy and maria are talking, maria very pointedly looks at joel when tommy says “a bad reputation doesn’t mean you’re bad” and maria says “not always, at least”. maria already doesn’t like him because apparently tommy has talked something bad about him. his own brother.

then he has a talk with tommy in the bar. its clear that his trust in tommy is shaky by this point because he lies to tommy about tess and ellie. then he has his fight with him and when he walks out of the bar, he has panic attack #3. let’s add insult to injury because then he sees someone who resembles sarah, his dead daughter. not only that but the lady has a kid of her own, something to resemble what joel never got: grandchildren.

then he finally has his breakdown. another little insult to injury, tommy gives him brand new boots since he noticed joel was trying to fix his old ones. another reminder that tommy is well off. the things he confesses to tommy are absolutely heartbreaking and its insane that he has been able to keep it all in to that point.

he is then faced with the choice of giving ellie over to tommy because while ellie feels less afraid with joel, joel feels more afraid with her.

then he has his fight with ellie where ellie uses his daughter against him (and i understand her desperation, i do). that was a really rough fight and once joel is alone in his room, we can see him shed another tear thinking of sarah.

the next day comes, and joel goes back on his choice and takes ellie. he has to say goodbye to his brother again but at least for a while after that, joel gets a break. he has fun and bonds with ellie on their trip.

… until he gets stabbed at the end of the episode.

so… to anyone that says joel is too soft in the show or too emotional, let’s remember that he is human. game joel is humanized too but its also a game. for the show, they had to really humanize joel which means that he is going to be much more mentally affected than game joel is throughout the story. panic attacks and crying are not soft or emotional, they aren’t weak, this man has been through hell and its a wonder he has made it this far. we only see three panic attacks but if they are that frequent, i can guarantee he has had more that we don’t see.

episode 6 really bashes him, its no wonder he broke down to tommy. pedro did an amazing job. he’s got me cryin’ everytime i watch it.

@void-ink-studios I did it again!

I absolutely headcanon that Scarab's wings were once were rainbow iridescent so Luna gets that trait too. I tried my best boss.

[the-mayor-of-hatersville]

I'm live and let live for the most part despite appearances, but I have to say the damage fucking,,,, the slytherin skittles as a concept has done to other peripheral characters in the marauders era? Unmatched. Is it bad that y'all are making up headcanons about these characters? Admittedly no, you can do whatever you want forever just like me. HOWEVER Is it really annoying that Every Single Character has to have a knock off marauders friend group now? Yes. Does it annoy me that characters who could be so much more complex than they are keep getting used as fodder for relationship drama with fucking Jegulus of all ships? Undoubtedly. Does it piss me off to see characters, particularly female characters, w being used to prop up death eaters who frankly are not half as interesting? Very Much So.

Apollo vision is done :)

There's a lot of pieces to this that I thought up that I probably won't get into here, but Apollo's element is Anemo!

It took me a while to realize when going through and doing my initial element assignments, but I eventually realized that Anemo characters are characters who are lost -- characters who don't quite fit, characters who may have support and people they care about (and who care about them) but don't feel like they quite mesh with the larger whole. I feel like Apollo would get his vision when he left Khura'in as a kid, when this idea most aligns with him.

...There's also a joke some of my friends and I have that the common thread between Anemo users is that they're short or have a dead friend, and Apollo fits both, sooooo--

Cinnamon Girls

 

Cassie Luna ( @acslytherpuffx ) Cariad Faiythe. 

Summary: Cassie comes home to her wife baking her famous cinnamon rolls.

The fire was crackling and a record was playing on the gramophone in the Loyal Moon Bakery. They’d turned Cariad’s shop in hogsmeade into a bakery. 

Cariad was currently making cinnamon rolls, knowing her wife had a stressful week. 

Cassie came through the doors and immediately smelt the cinnamon, eyes lighting up in delight like a child on Christmas. 

“Hello Mrs Luna, can I please order a cinnamon roll and the cute baker?” Cassie smiled, coming up to the counter. Cariad’s heart fluttered whenever Cassie reminded her that she was a Luna now.

“Ah, good timing. They’re fresh, just for you.” Cariad had her usual soft grin and lovestruck expression whenever she looked at Cassie. She was totally enamoured. 

She passed Cassie the pastry but the brunette noticed something on Cariad’s lips. The cinnamon roll glaze. Her expression softened and she leaned across the counter.

“If you wanted a kiss you could’ve just asked.” She giggled, before leaning in and brushing her lips with Cariad’s. 

“Merlin, tá tú ionraic. Is breá liom tú.” She whispered against her lips. She love show playful, funny, sweet Cassie was. Completely smitten from the moment they’d met. 

Cassie giggled at the Irish. She had learnt for Cariad, in secret of course, to understand her flirting. 

“Is breá liom tú freisin, cailín deas.”

Cariad gasped against Cassies lips and fumbled to remember any Albanian, because Cassie had made the effort to learn Irish. 

“Keni mësuar irlandez? A mund të martohem sërish me ty?!”

“Very good love!” Cassie ruffled her hair. She hung up her coat and walked around the counter. Cariad traced the heart shaped freckle on her face in awe. Cassie leaned in for another kiss, puckering her lips, but Cariad just stuffed a cinnamon roll in her mouth and laughed. 

“Go on Cass, get into your pyjamas and we can cuddle on the couch, you’ve had a long day, hm?

Soon, Cariad closed the bakery, but the fire was still roaring in the Loyal Moon Bakery. It was domestic and sweet, the atmosphere cozy and warm. And it felt like home.

YOU SAID YOU HAD NO ASKS AND IM FIXING THIS.

LITTLE TRAVELLER WOLF. remember. I Do. i remember everything, luna. And am i still thinking about the light-suppression cuffs and the moths and the Eliksni and--

Think about it again,,, always bleeding a liquid light, trying to stop the hatchlings from trying to eat it (still crying). the family that basically adopted them while they were out of it, and who they stayed with when they were themself again. the wolf plushie...

I never forget,,,

Saladin watching someone he’s always seen as a powerful warrior deteriorate into something almost akin to a child but it is not quite that either- no it is something else, something wrong. A slow acting poison ending in death set upon Wolf by the people they should have been able to trust the most.

Do you remember Wolf in the wilds? Travelling alone to a destination they don’t remember? Resting in hunter hideouts they had made or been trusted with, admiring the light of the stars, and the moths of course.

The Traveller only wanted its favoured guardian back, taken from it for being too good, too powerful. It can do nothing but give away as much as it can until its power is warping the foundations of Wolf’s body and soul into a form that cannot remember itself. Saladin looks upon Wolf whose arms glow with bright white Light, whose fingertips are ever so slowly beginning to melt into nothing. At the near ever-present liquid Light tears running down one side of their face out from under freshly replaced bandages. Their body is covered in fissures, bodies shouldn’t do that they think- for a moment until the very capability of thought is gone again.

This Light is a gift. Each time Wolf looks upon their wounds they know that they are loved. This Light is a gift that leaves everyone questioning if Wolf is even human anymore. They can see through walls, hear what no one else can. The Traveller speaks, they alone hear it.

Then once they are free from their quite literal shackles they remember the hands that stemmed their bleeding, who cried once their blood stopped running red, who walked them through the city and bought them the one thing they had ever wanted.

Eliksni arrive to the city and Wolf can feel the Traveller welcome them, even if the humans do not. It is awkward, always, for they worship the traveller and it’s Light is Wolf’s body. There is little else left. Though they are not alone in their stilted interactions with Wolf- no one is quite sure about how they are supposed to speak to them, to the one the Traveller loves. Except for the ones who held them together when no one else would, those ones still treated them as human.

The Eliksni endure the animosity thrown at them. Ask for nothing from no one. They have endured, they do not need gifts to survive. But the Traveller still answers their silence, through Wolf’s voice it tells them that they’ve found peace, finally, they’ve done good, they can have the Light now.

…But not in so many words, Wolf has never been one to speak after all. Let everyone decipher their actions instead.
