I needed to share my thoughts

If you have any questions... No you don't

[whoreforhorrorsblog]

I was cackling when I was making this

[cultishkei]

I know it would've ruined the arc and flow of the narrative but I think it would've been. maybe really so funny if some of the members of the guild just. didn't fucking know any Japanese so they're doing their little monologues and shit and idk atsushi or something is just staring at them with the fisheye angle as they say something completely incomprehensible to him lmao

Figured I might as well introduce these characters!

Lucy is Y/N’s roommate (when Y/N exists). She has a major crush on them and is very much a bimbo. She can’t remember Smoon’s name for the life of her (occasionally just calling him “John” or “Gerald” or something). She’s a streamer, known for gaming and hot tub streams. I’ve mentioned her a few times before but never really gave her an introduction!

The other person is Dan! That’s Steve’s fiancé! He makes an appearance in And There You Are (A Shooting Star), and he is probably the most positive guy there is. He loves Steve dearly and was a swimmer and surfer! He’s super nice and chill, but along with Lucy, kinda daft sometimes.

I love them both dearly

Also I need to do this for Daryl

As is explained in the book, Covey names are made up of the name of a folk ballad and a color. The origins of a few of these names are explicitly stated in the book, but not all of them, so I want to try to lay out some potential origins for all of the Covey characters’ names!

Lucy Gray-Lucy Gray, poem by William Wordsworth (canon)

Barb Azure-Barbara Allen, famous folk song and child ballad 84 (canon)

Maude Ivory-Maude Clare, poem by Christina Rossetti (canon)

Clerk Carmine-Clerk Saunders, English folk song and child ballad 69

Tam Amber-Tam Lin, Scottish folktale and child ballad 39

Billy Taupe-Billy Boy, famous American folk song (likely, though Willy is a very common name in folk songs and child ballads)

Furthermore, I also want to argue that each of their names (much like Lucy Gray's) has some element of foreshadowing or relevance to their character or story!

Lucy Gray: as we know, she shares her story with the Wordsworth character: to go missing in the woods and have her true fate be forever a mystery

Barb Azure: she's a bit trickier. Barbara Allen is a soft, quiet tragedy about a “hard-hearted” girl whose lover dies, and she dies soon after so she can be buried with him. Barb Azure doesn't have much in the way of tragic romance (she and her gf seem to be the only non-toxic romance in the Covey), so I view her tragic love as not romantic, but familial. Barb seems to be the mom friend of the Covey, quiet and reserved but caring, and I think her heart broke when Lucy Gray and Billy Taupe died, one after the other. I should note that Barbara Allen's lover is named William (I told y'all it's a really common name). We don't know what happens to Barb Azure after she loses half her family and their music, but I can't imagine she ever fully recovered.

Maude Ivory: ALSO tricky. Maude Clare is about a love triangle, in which a couple is getting married and Maude, the groom's ex, stirs some shit with the bride, Nell. The groom is very inconsequential (Rossetti was a lesbian *cough cough*), so it's mainly about what the two women are fighting over. Maude proudly hands over the groom, but showcases how much he preferred her to his wife in the process. Nell professes that she has the legitimacy of marriage, and is willing to wait until he loves her back. It's unclear who really wins. I think this could be indicative of a bit of a silent "feud" (with no hatred of course) with Lucy Gray over which will become the lead singer in the Covey. Lucy Gray effectively hands it over to Maude Ivory at the end, but it's not much of a victory, as music is soon banned in District 12. But to Maude's credit, if the theory that she's Katniss's grandmother is true, she is willing to work to spread her music in secret over the coming years.

Clerk Carmine: Clerk Saunders is betrayed by his lover’s brothers after he wrongs her, eventually being killed by her youngest brother. Clerk Carmine's brother, Billy Taupe, betrays Lucy Gray by sleeping with Mayfair, and eventually the rest of the Covey reject him, including, most personally, Clerk Carmine.

Tam Amber: Tam Lin was a mysterious fae man, and Tam Amber was a mysterious baby found on the side of the road (I'm sorry but we know like nothing about this boy)

Billy Taupe: Billy Boy is a nursery rhyme about a boy who is courting a girl who is too young to leave her mother's side, much like Billy Taupe is courting Mayfair, whose father won't leave her alone. Though the nursery rhyme itself is light and fun, it has been linked to the English murder ballad "Lord Randall," in which a jealous woman poisons her husband, much like Mayfair's jealousy leads to both hers and Billy's deaths.

Tell me what y’all think! Clerk and Billy could really be a few things, but these seemed most likely. I also might’ve missed something (I wasn’t really looking for this stuff while reading) so I welcome any new info!

They’re playing a horror game, I’d like to think they were ok somewhat good terms and after the guild’s disbanding, he’s encouraged to have actual friendship’s (by Ranpo? Or Mushi?)

Maybe it starts w meeting up for writing advice w Louisa and they end up meeting at Lucy’s cafe regularly

Yes Karl is also scared TT

🐦‍⬛🦉🕊️🦩 please?

🐦‍⬛: a great quote of dialogue

“Hey.” Luke squeezed her hand. “We’re gonna figure this out, okay? With or without him as a ghost. That’s why there’s two of us, right?” Despite herself, Lucy smiled. “I suppose.” “Which is another way of saying, Oh, yes, Luke, you’re absolutely right. How could I have doubted you?” “I never said that!” She huffed. “And I don’t sound like that either!” “But you meant it!” Luke grinned. “And yeah, actually, you do.”

~Lucy AU ESB fic

Ahh sibling banter 🥰

🦉: a clever quote

“Isn’t it, to you?” Tory retorted cheekily, laughing when Sam smacked her lightly on the shoulder. “Easy, LaRusso. Save it for next year’s tournament.” Sam’s smile faded at that. “Oh come on. We won’t be here that long.” “Oh! That’s good then. If you want to defend your title next year, you’ll still be eligible!” “You’ll bring our champ back to the ring next year, right?” “You heard Ali, you still have another year that you can compete! And even the officials want you to! Aren’t you gonna do it?” “I hope not,” Aisha agreed with a sigh, “but…I mean, what else could be stopping us? What’s keeping us here?”

~CK AU interlude fic

I always feel clever when I can call back to previous lines 💞 especially since the italicized lines are all from the KK1 fic, and no one at the time realized that I was writing those to a) set up Sam being hesitant to compete again and b) generally introduce the question that will define most of the rest of the movie-era storyline: will she compete in the ’85 tournament? We all know who’s behind that, after all…

🕊️: a sweet quote

“I don’t want to hurt you.” She squeezed his hand. “We’re in this together, remember? Even if nobody else can know…I know. You’re my brother, and I love you. Nothing will change that ever again.”

~1x15/1x16 fic

THEY 🥹 this might be the most blatant hint I give about what the plan is, because uh…I think I may have tipped my hand a bit further than intended. But that’s fine, these two are worth it 💞

🦩: dealer's choice

Only a few moments passed before the monster kneeled down…and the gleaming suit opened, a figure—a man—emerging from the blue glow within. “Like I told you from the beginning…” Savitar smirked, vibrating his voice—just like his, just like his—to match the one he’d always used before, “I am the Future Flash.”
