Sometimes playing Roblox is silly and goofy and just an alright experience and then sometimes you guide two identical bacon hairs through a horror game and you get so far and they both do so well and then one dies and you spend a minute waiting for him (with the other one) to walk through the door alive and he doesn't so you both begrudgingly move on because you have to keep going and then the other one dies not a few rooms later. and there is nothing I could do about it. they waited for me by locked doors because they trusted I'd find the key. We waited for each other if one got lost. my beautiful sons. the universe is so cruel to the innocent.

first year vs fourth year
aka im back in sge mode heyyyyy 😭 just doodling some (mostly soon to be featured) characters from my prequel / young callis+arthur series (i know its kind of old BUT. i AM working on the next installment which is probably going end up 3x as long 💀 stay tuned for wip posting. and callis posting 🥰)
ummm random ideas / explanations under the cut:
gareth and gaheris are arthur's cousins (gaheris is 15 (1 year older than arthur), gareth is 12) and both in his class. they generally dislike arthur for various reasons but mostly because they think he's cursed + stole the crown from his brother
callis is gareth's best friend. he is Not hers. he might also be in love with her but that is a tale for another time. you'll see
george (or grog) and alek are callis's roommates (alek is barely 16, george is turning 12). they both got into evil technically by nepotism. you'll see
it will be Ages before i can properly explain why lesso's name is completely different in this series so ill just say it here. its quite silly actually but its been this way for Years and Years so "leonora" is actually a portmanteau name of her first nickname (nora) and a second nickname (leo). the road to nickname 2 will be a long one paved with the power of friendship and not dying in the trial by tale etc etc. you'll see
emma is a surprise tool we will use later or something. she's not relevant after first year or so but im doing my own spin on her not being asked to the snow ball but somehow not being failed. what i'll say now is that callis and gareth are involved. you'll see
uhhh and if you're reading this have a snippet

been thinking about last names in SGE. the only people with actual last names that we know of are the established, well-known families (sader, mistral, pendragon) and the professors.
do you need to have a certain level of fame or power to get a last name? do you need to, say, maintain that power over a number of generations? e.g. the saders and their generational seer abilities, the mistrals and advanced magic (? probably). pendragon itself is an epithet (for uther. not even for arthur) if we're looking at the myth, so. yeah. are last names a symbol of generational strength?
and does being a professor somehow just exempt you from all that?? like. when you become a professor does rafal just waltz up and give you a last name?? to establish your Place??
or was soman just being lazy???

CONSIDER: Shadows and Light
The Symbolism Surrounding Rhian, Rafal, and the Pan
Tumblr media
Fun fact: Under certain conditions, a flame will not cast a shadow.
As we saw in Rise, Rhian could turn into a golden glow, turn into light, his non-human form, just as Rafal could turn into a shadow.
And those facts bring me to how the Pan subplot and the brothers' main plot might parallel each other more than we may think.
That Hook had to kill the Pan’s shadow was probably no accident. It likely couldn't have been a coincidence—it has to be a casual quality of the magic system in SGE and Peter Pan lore in general, no doubt.
So, we have: killing the shadow (the Pan's or symbolically, Rafal himself).
Rhian killed the shadow to his light.
And besides, an excess of light eradicates all shadows, and fire, specifically, can cast very distorted shadows because it's always in motion, and therefore, it's restless. This could mean fire as a light source could affect the shadow's "power," its appearance, just as Rhian, like a fairy-tale Nemesis (perhaps?), might have weakened Rafal as Rhian became stronger, and that Rhian had been a force that changed or warped Rafal as a person, while also becoming colder himself. Meanwhile, Rafal's hair curled slightly and he gained more color and warmth to his complexion towards the climax of their tale.
I wonder if, in getting his magic back from Hook when it was released, Rhian had been further corrupted or overpowered enough, to overpower Rafal (while, all the while, the Storian had been stripping Rafal of the magic he held) because it didn’t dissipate by itself, with the loss of his immortality(?). Hook could have been acting like a temporary storage unit for that magic, until it returned, meaning the Storian may not have been able to rescind it from Rhian directly.
(And did Kyma release Rhian's magic when it was transferred to her? Or did it just disappear/dissolve without returning to its owner?)
Then, we can ask ourselves: what was the only move that could kill Pan? Somehow, magically killing his shadow. His life source. The apparent source of his immortality.
And, Rhian killing the source of his former immortality (his brother, and as a result, their bond along with Rafal's death)? Well, that’s killing a shadow, too.
Thus, the two plots line up exactly.
Rafal was once Rhian's shadow, in a sense, the person who stayed by him, who saved him again and again. Thus, Rhian destroyed himself, to an extent, by killing that shadow. He not only killed his life source, the love that kept him alive, by severing the twins' bond, but lost a part of his identity when he killed Rafal. Thus, he ages. Like the Pan as he died, Rhian was no longer a perpetual youth, no longer a young "lost boy."
And sometimes, Rhian's shadow strayed too far and left him (Rafal deserting the School at the start), just as Pan’s shadow isn’t always right by the Pan himself. The Pan's shadow had a life and will of its own, seemingly, like Rafal did.
Rafal getting his own life, by venturing out, beyond the School, was one step away from having his identity always tied to Rhian. Maybe, just maybe, Rafal wasn't inseparable, inconceivable without Rhian (the light source), his other half. But, Rafal always did revolve around Rhian (when Rafal had his few, less selfish moments). Because, he simply can’t be brought up or thought of alone, at least not in the tales, in their world. One brother's presence always summons the other's to mind, when you talk about them. That’s how locked together, how insoluble their combined identity was, or plural roles were. The shadow was tethered to his object. They can’t be torn apart, not even in memory, which makes the nature of the tales themselves all the more reductive, dehumanizing, even.

Last day of July so it's practically a month after Dawntrail launched. It's weird how this was supposed to be the biggest thing for me in 2024 but somehow it's not. It's not to say that Dawntrail was garbage but it didn't leave as much of an impact for me as Shadowbringers or Endwalker especially since I only cried in the scenes on the final map.
I do like the animations of a few of the jobs at max level. Some have nothing to write home about (SGE) but the MCH one is cool as hell to me. 😎
Tumblr media
The Scholar one is cool but I prefer to heal on Sage so outside of gpose I can't see myself using it lol. Summoner Bahamut is neat but then I remember how SMN does like 40% less DPS than Pictomancer and I throw my book into the recycle bin. 🚮

Random but can u ramble Abt mifal
YES! Yes I can, absolutely. They've been on my mind recently after reading another book and listening to my favorite songs.
I do see them being in a reincarnation plot, based on Midas thinking Rafal would bring him back in fall, briefly before he died. I have a mini post about it somewhere in my blog.
I wish Soman had the two spend more time together, as friends or ex lovers or SOMETHING. They didn't even kiss. Like could Soman at least have done a betrayal? (I am a sucker for angst.) I mean, he DID but something that had an even deeper emotional weight, where Rafal felt more guilty.
It could even have gone along where Rafal treats Midas like another James, and everything just circles back to either Rhian-- or James Hook. And Midas is not a second or a replacement, but he feels disappointed in Rafal.
I also love unrequited love, so there was a bonus of some Mifal and more Jafal like COME ON!
But I would love a plot where they reincarnate into the current SGE world, maybe when the main cast are much older at that point, and both of them meet each other, have a connection, but don't really know why. Maybe Midas could be an actual ruler this time, with his unique golden ability while reincarnated Rafal does have some of his magic. (while still being his own person, of course.) I actually theorize that somehow, after the demimagus incident, Rafal and Midas do have a soul-link that operates in some way, shape, or form. And that maybe they knew each other before and "Rafal" and "Midas" are actually other lifetimes. But these are really stupid theories.
I really like how Midas is fearless of Rafal, and I think fearlessness is something Rafal values. Midas pretty much fends for himself, but he also forgives Rafal the deepest and tries to save him from Pan's crossbow, and dies saying his name. James (understandably so) had some resentment when Rafal asked him to try to bring Rufius back. I think Midas embodies what Rafal may want deep inside, and I think both characters have their guilt and their grace. So in that respect, i wish they connected over those feelings as well-- being morally gray, struggling to show emotion and repressing it instead, having guilt and all that. Rafal could have still turned his back on him or-- even worse-- "I haven't forgotten James but you were pretty close to making me. Nice time together while we had it."
Also if it is reincarnation, it could work as karma for Rafal if Midas is resurrected and has memories of Rafal but Rafal is reborn into someone else, and this new person loves Midas first but Midas is still stuck in the past. Sorta like Wisteria's plot.
I wish Midas lived too, maybe to be somewhat corrupted after Rafal's death.
I loved this ask, so thanks!! Let me know if you want more hcs or anything about Mifal. I love them.

Yeah this is about right (as always my thoughts are in the tags so there's actually kei content there lmao)
#Hester I adore you they could never make me hate you. Seriously the first chapter in 6 (bad candy) is like my favourite opener#Kei they could NEVER EVER make me hate you. did nothing wrong ever. rhian when I CATCH you#its so funny how my two favourite characters just like. hate each other. like japeth literally kills him#sad cause they're so SIMILAR. theyre both victims of Dog Metaphor its so sad that kei does Not like japeth in the slightest#personally if they had a good long discussion about their emotions at like 3am they could've probably stopped TCY from happening#but alas. Aric. somehow its all his fault again. why do I have an aricposting tag but not a keiposting one.#Hester easily has the best overall characterisation arc I love love love the way soman writes her#I remember when I read 6 for the first time#before japeth insanity happened#I used to anticipate her chapters over like everyone else's. Hester the 1 lesbian in the series you are deeply loved#I could write whole essays about japeth and kei's characterisation it is so sad that soman forgets kei exists#like he's meant to be rhian's eagle. that's his job. that's what he's spent a Long Time anticipating becoming#but rhian refuses to acknowledge it. instead he calls Japeth his eagle in book 4's ending#He eventually falls in love with Sophie#he only ever cares about the crown#how he GETS to the crown#and bringing his mother back. he lies more than japeth#and never once does he get to be the eagle. There's only three spaces - lion/eagle/snake - and he doesn't get to be any of them#dont even get me started on how he dies. surrounded by white swans. being purely good#god rhian II try not to fuck EVERYTHING over challenge. and also Aric. its all arics fault as well#keiposting#japethposting#actually not really jposting. didn't do it that much#sge#tsfgae#school for good and evil#the school for good and evil#sfgae#the school of good and evil#as much as I adore Hester I dont think I will talk about her much in detail ever so no hesterposting yet

What book are you currently reading? How are you liking it? What book are you going to read next?
I’m reading “Good Girl, Bad Blood” by Holly Jackson, the sequel to AGGGTM! Also, re-reading the SGE series and Six of Crows, simultaneously. And also reading “All the Bright Places” and “We Were Liars”
I have a bad tendency to read multiple books at one time, I somehow can multi task with books but nothing else in life.
I’m liking GGBB, i’m actually going to Barnes & Noble so i’m getting the final in the series. I’m liking All the Bright Places, it’s a more difficult read for me rn just because the beginnings a bit slow. We Were Liars is also good I am excited to read it! I have had two friends who have so they said the endings sad, but I love sad books.
After these I think I will read “Girl in Pieces” and “How it Feels to Float.” By the time I finish all these it will probably be Christmas and I will probably get a lot of books from friends and family so not sure what I will read after! Might attempt to make a schedule to finish all my books in 2024 lol.
Thanks for the ask I love answering them!! <33

trahearne as SCH and scarlet as SGE, living in il mheg with the fae folks, esp with pixies because their affiliation with 'the dream' (even if different ones) after initial confusion of 'What manner of leafmen are you??'
feo ul will definitely take hearne in as their sapling, but will bicker alot with scarlet and have a lot of magical explosion shennanigans over the right of having Red Twin Tails.
tyr beq and an lad will appoint trahearne as honorary dream spinners and ask him from time to time to take care of lyr mheg
somehow scarlet managed to use her teleport (both building a device, or suprise awakened power) and she ran away to the source, and after one way or another, become student of sharlayan university and working on thesis for her archonate. shes very eager srudents that is headache to many lecturers, to which montichaigne will simply laugh and feed more lectures to scarlet (seriously, he might be the only ones that can handle her. him and rurusha from smithing studium) the while pranking yshtola whos wanting to do research on her inter-dimension teleportation stuff to visit the first.
meanwhile trahearne is chilling with urianger, g'raha, and krile as fellow nerds scholars. sometimes discussing the predicament of the displaced sylvaris, but mostly the topic will swerve into history, world events, and aether theories
all of this happened while mordremoth is also sealed inside trahearne. so uri might attune some of moenbryda's auracite to supress the elder dragon on him.
imagine hearne's surprise and joy that people of the source was also on 1000 years war with dragon, but came to peaceful resolution. if he could, he will talk to hraesvelgr and beseech the dragon's wisdom (in which great father midgarsormr himself might whisper to him at some point)
all in all, both trahearne and scarlet is enjoying themselves to the fullest, thriving, and pretty much alive.
ahhh such a happy alternate universe...

R'alma Crissen Lore Masterpost
Hi! Let me introduce you to the complicated mess that is my WoL. I like to write about him frequently, but I'm still developing him as a character. This will probably be updated as I come up with new lore for his personality/backstory.
Tumblr media
Wol vs Azem sheet Azem's Familiar Design (or Why Does R'alma Have a Tail?) Azem Lore Masterpost
The Basics
Name: R'alma Crissen Race: Rava Viera (technically not actually, see below) Gender: Male Pronouns: He/Him (They/Them is acceptable for the confused) Sexuality: Definitely Gay (and Maybe Bi, unknown)/Probably Demisexual Height: 5'7" Age: 26(ish? I guess?) Nameday: 32nd Sun of the Fourth Umbral Moon (Aug 31st) Birthplace: Thanalan Tribe: Raptor Family: R'crissen Nunh (father) R'manafa Jhaz (mother) Combat Jobs: BLM/DRK/RPR/DNC/SGE (in that order) Non-combat Jobs: BTN/ALC
The Beginning
Tumblr media
Alma Crissen was born a Miqo'te to the Raptor tribe of the Seekers of the Sun. She spent her entire childhood in Thanalan, and because of this she considers the region to be her home. She had long black hair streaked with red, and mismatched eyes, one dark green and one bright teal. Her skin was pale for a Sunseeker, since she spent most of her time indoors studying rather than out hunting with the rest of the tribe.
Her tribe and family were largely hunters of great skill and renown, known for their marksmanship with a bow. R'alma, however, showed an incredible affinity for magic and spellcraft rather than martial prowess, which made her feel like an outcast in the tribe. While no one went to any lengths to make her feel unwelcome, neither was there anyone from which she could learn to wield her magicks. And so, feeling as if on some level she didn't quite belong, she dreamt of the day she would set out on her own to find her place in the world.
She only made it as far as Ul'dah before her destiny found her and swept her away on what would prove to be the journey of a lifetime.
Tumblr media
The Reincarnation
After the disaster with the Crystal Braves in Ul'dah, R'alma was thoroughly distraught and in a very bad place mentally. Unsure if she'd be able to return there to continue her studies as a black mage, she instead took up the greatsword and began her journey down the path of the dark knight.
It was also around this time that she met a shady peddler in Ishgard selling potions that he claimed were supposed to reveal the true nature of a person's soul. Not being in the right mindset to make decisions, and believing the man when he said the effect was only temporary, she bought and took one. As it turns out, the potion did exactly as advertised. The effect was not, however, temporary, and R'alma spent the next several years in the body of an Auri woman.
Tumblr media
As an Au Ra, R'alma's skin was a dark, vibrant red, with dark scales and horns, and brilliant amber-yellow eyes. Her hair was still red-streaked black, the only feature to have stayed in the transformation.
It wasn't until her travels to Othard and the Azim Steppe some time later that she learned why her transformation had been permanent. As it turned out, her soul was from the Dotharl tribe of the Xaela, but had been somehow displaced during reincarnation. Sadu of course recognized her right away and gave her the name that she had been previously known by. R'alma preferred to continue going by the name given her by the parents that had raised her, however, and kept the Dotharl name secret.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Apollo's Gift
Sometime after the events of 5.3, R'alma decided to try experimenting with attuning to Azem's memory crystal, similar to how she did with Fray/Esteem during her training as a dark knight. In doing so, she was actually able to connect to him subconsciously across time. They spoke together several times, during which she learned that his name was Apollo, that he had vivid dreams of his myriad future lives (hers included), and that while biologically male, he often identified as female depending on his mood and disposition, hence why Hades and Hythlodaeus would often refer to Azem as "she".
Tumblr media
Eventually, as matters with the Telophoroi were coming to a head and the journey to Sharlayan drew near, Apollo insisted that R'alma needed to stop contacting him, that she needed to live her own life in the present rather than constantly looking back to the past. As a parting gift, he offered to use his creation magic to alter her body into something more closely resembling his, so that she would have something to remember him by. The new form kept her signature red-tipped black hair, as well as one of her yellow eyes, and the bright teal one from her Miqo'te form that matched his own, giving her ties not only to his past but also to hers as well.
The body that Apollo gave her was that of a familiar that he had been working on designing. Though that was the official story, the reality was just a bit more selfish. In truth, Apollo knew that R'alma would be traveling to the past and meeting both Hades and Hythlodaeus in Elpis, and he wanted it to be in a form that they would recognize and feel comfortable around. Hythlodaeus was aware of Apollo's familiar concept, and would recognize it immediately as his, especially if it was running around with a soul of the same color.
And that is how R'alma ended up as a male Viera-but-not-really with a fluffy tail and cat eyes. In tribute to Azem, and because he is now biologically male, he prefers to go by male pronouns. I hesitate to call him trans, only because the decision was not one that he made himself for actual identity reasons, so.... It's Complicated™.
Aether-Searing
Dark arcane markings twisted and flowed in seemingly random patterns up the front of his torso, spread across his narrow shoulders, spilled down his back, and snaked down both arms. It was an artistic mixture of constellations, mathematical diagrams, and rudimentary symbology that he had somehow managed to keep largely under wraps. Some of the markings were purely arcane in nature, designed as a focus or enhancement for his spellcasting. Most of them, however, told a story or represented some important event from his travels. Much of it was likely indecipherable at the moment due to his injuries, though. All the same, it clearly made for quite the spectacle. "By the Twelve," Alphinaud breathed in awe. "What in–" "Aether-searing," R'alma cut in by way of explanation, his voice feeling thick and uncharacteristically gravelly in his throat. He cleared it before going on, but the thickness remained. "Been working on it for a while. Since we first came here. Different symbols and images that have meaning to me." Moving gingerly, so as not to aggravate his joints, he reached up and tapped his collarbone, where a line twisted and snaked like a ribbon in between an arrangement of simple shapes in varying size and orientation, about eight in total. "This one is us. The people I care about most, wrapped up together in a thread of fate."
Tumblr media
He went quiet then, partly because talking sapped what little energy he still had, and partly from embarrassment. This time he could feel the warmth creep into his cheeks as his mismatched eyes stayed trained pointedly on the floor. This wasn't something for anyone else to see, necessarily. He’d done it mostly for himself, and for those whose stories he felt needed to be told, to be remembered. Aether-searing wasn't exactly a pleasant experience, but it was far from painful, and it allowed him to paint the canvas of his skin in private, without the need of another party's expertise or input. It was a technique he'd found detailed in a book in Noumenon shortly after their arrival, and it had served his needs perfectly for an idea that had been formulating in his head for quite a while.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The arcane tattoos that R'alma now sports on his body is an ongoing project that he's been working on since shortly after arriving in Old Sharlayan. As further tribute to Azem, and to all the Ancients who came before, as well as many of the people he'd met himself on his travels, and even to himself, he has committed his body as a canvas for telling the stories that need to be remembered. The symbols are designed in such a way that only he knows what they mean, dreamed up and applied in a stream-of-consciousness sort of manner. Two actual phrases in Eorzean script can be found among the mysterious artwork: "Remember Us" along his back, and on his shoulder "Listen to our heartbeats".
Many of the symbols right now, however, are purely arcane in nature and are meant to help focus his magic. There are a few larger, blockier shapes on his arms that he added just to get rid of the lingering feeling of Zenos inhabiting his body, and that he intends to remove or replace once the memory of that experience has faded enough.

Tags: Time Travel, Past-Romance, Character Death, Etc.

Characters: Rhian Mistral, Rafal Mistral, and others.
Tumblr media
[ PART ONE ]
Rhian let out a snarl as he lunged at Sophie and tried to kill her, but it was too late.
He was no more.
His body begins to age rapidly and falls to the ground, turns to ashes, and blows away in the wind.
He opened his eyes to see himself in some weird place, his eyesight was blurry and he could hardly breathe. He grabbed and grasped at his throat, and a dry cough left his mouth and lungs.
Rhian struggled to make sense of his surroundings, the blurred images and unfamiliar environment disorienting him further. As his vision slowly cleared, he realized he was standing in what appeared to be a desolate wasteland. The air was heavy with an eerie silence, broken only by the sound of his raspy breaths.
His confusion turned to unease as he took in his own appearance. Rhian's reflection revealed a gaunt figure, weathered by age and exhaustion. He could hardly recognize himself, but there was no denying that he was somehow different, altered from the moment of his demise.
Cautiously, Rhian began to explore his surroundings, hoping to find some answers in this strange place. With each step he took, the ground beneath him seemed to shift, as if mocking his attempts to find stability. The sparse vegetation crumbled to dust as he brushed past it, replaced by lifeless remnants scattered in the wind.
As he ventured further, Rhian's senses heightened, picking up faint whispers on the breeze. They were barely intelligible, but their urgency fueled his determination to understand. Pushing through the mounting weakness in his body, he followed the intangible voices, desperate for comprehension.
Suddenly, he stumbled upon a gathering of apparitions. They appeared to be shadows of their former selves, their bodies resembling faint echoes of life. Their voices grew in intensity as they noticed Rhian's presence, their hollow gazes fixed upon him. With great effort, he tried to speak, but his voice came out as a mere whisper, barely audible.
As if sensing his struggle, one of the apparitions approached, its eyes reflecting a glimmer of recognition. It extended a ghostly hand towards Rhian, urging him to join their circle. Although apprehensive, he grasped the outstretched hand, and an intense surge of energy coursed through him.
His vision cleared, and his body regained strength as he absorbed the ethereal essence flowing from the apparition. The whispers around him became more coherent, revealing fragments of forgotten memories and hidden truths. Rhian realized that he was no longer confined to the mortal realm; he had entered a realm between life and death, where time held no sway.
Embracing this newfound clarity, Rhian focused on the apparitions, communicating without words, absorbing their knowledge and experiences. He discovered that they were all souls who, like him, had met their demise and now resided in this ephemeral realm.
As time continued its elusive dance, Rhian's understanding grew. He realized that this realm was a place of reflection, a space where souls were given a chance to confront their past and reconcile with their choices. Here, one could find redemption or be forever trapped in the purgatory of regret.
Rhian chose to embrace this opportunity, vowing to seek forgiveness for the darkness he had once embodied. Energized by his newfound purpose, he set forth, determined to find a way to make amends. However, he knew that this journey would not be easy, for the path to redemption was as treacherous as the one that had led him here.
Armed with the knowledge and strength borrowed from the souls he encountered, Rhian embarked on a soul-searching odyssey through the realm between life and death. This ethereal journey would test his resolve, his resilience, and his capacity for change. But Rhian was prepared to confront his past head-on, to atone for his actions, and discover the true purpose of his existence in this in-between world.
~
End Of Part 1, In the next part you'll see different and new people and scenarios.

seerposting (aka saderposting)
i've always been so interested in the idea of seers in sge (if we've been mutuals for a while you would probably know). because the idea of someone being able to see how the story ends (which is like, a Big Thing for literal characters in that story, and also in soman's writing) also implies the possibility of them being able to manipulate that story. to go against what was set out by the story.
i mean, august sader's whole thing in tlea was... weird? like the man is soman's eternal deus ex machina but he has his limits. if i remember correctly, he told sophie & agatha that he Saw himself telling them their backstory (sister twist etc), but that he couldn't See any further than that, and that the story depended on their choice- which he couldn't predict. but the fact that he knew to tell them that at all (even after his death) means that he could also, theoretically, choose not to do it, right?
and that element of choice itself also implies that the future, the ending of the story, is a changeable thing. that you can influence it. and if even characters can do that, why not seers? who arguably are even better equipped with knowledge to do it?
in the school years, august sader acted as an enabler to the story. i think he also appeared in otk? it's been too long since i read the books :[ actually if he appeared in otk that makes things More Interesting because at that point they were in the middle of the man vs. pen conflict. fun! tells us more about how seers work! except i don't remember if that was a thing! but basically the whole idea of Sight was so integral to the series. and then soman didn't explain it at all. (thanks soman!) so what role do Seers really play in a story that's never fixed?
and for another thing, what do seers actually work for? to continue the story or do they have their own free will? like, august sader gave rafal that whole reader prophecy about sophie. did he know he was supposed to do that, or did he just want to? i remember theorising that he did it for his sister to enter the school, not sure if that was a book thing or a fanon thing.
because it resulted in a whole shitshow (ie the entire sge debacle because sophie was marked as Special from then on), which. if you think about it, just really served to bring good and evil back together, and stopped the trend of good winning. (for the school years at least. whatever. the camelot years were not storian-approved and therefore not as relevant to the idea of seers working for the story.) so did august sader set that in motion or did he know he Had to set that in motion?
+ the whole thing about seers aging ten years if they told anyone about the future. obviously that's kind of a rule against changing the future through influencing others. but what about their own action????? wouldn't it be an interesting thing to explore, being able to write your own story? maybe even control the storian, like japeth and his man vs pen conflict?
and doesn't that make seers somehow greater than good and evil? like, the man vs pen conflict basically disregards good and evil completely. logically japeth is evil but evil was also working against him (the coven), and i really don't think he fits into the categories of good and evil set out in the school years. i think he's something even more fucked up than that. something More Than The Story. hhh soman your camelot years had so much potential to explore that don't make me do it for you
+ sader's weird seer ancestor in rise of tsfgae. i forgot what he said. he existed ig. rise of tsfgae was not a very good book so i mostly ignored what happened
tl;dr: can seers in sge go against the future (the ending of the story) or can they act independently? wouldn't it be cool if they could act independently? Wouldn't It
i know this isn't what soman's books were about, and that this is an incredibly niche and odd idea, but. seers. (august sader)

What a mess... 🤣
I am afraid she wasn't suck his... at all, K. 🤣 Do you know why? Because she was 'hired' by him and if there was a work contract for music video, there was no sex included. If it happened somehow she can sue him for sex...al harrasment according to US law... if anything goes not according her wish. And I believe he is not that stupid. 😎 That is why you shouldn't have sex with your co-workers in US. And even if you annouce someone is your gf and you hired him or her before or later... you are in trouble if something went wrong later. TTT is a toy or a (f)ool in a game Jared has directed to make a fool someone else... and I believe it was directed for... Valery first and foremost! What a dude!!! And now TTT is classified as a 'team' member??? 🤣🤣🤣 I just can't! Literally! That is how he explains all the mess he created? LoooooL! 
P.S. i wonder what TTT is thinking and feeling when her love calls her... a team memeber and job related persona. 😂

Why would she care? 🤷🏼‍♀️
Sge gets what she wants aka dick and a chance to show she's getting it again. 🤷🏼‍♀️
I'd call that a win-win for her. 🤭
