[marscantread7]

Don't feel like doing that fancy shit w/ the pictures and borders and colors, so js headcanons I have for Sy and Xav and YOU! The reader, not mc. So basically Xavier and Sylus x regular, avg citizen reader. Ig for info. Ur a college student working some normal job js to pay off ur tuition. Like a barista or sumn. Not doing fast food, bc I'm currently a drive-thru worker at a fast food place and I cannot put my self insert character through that😭💔

Sorry abt the other LIs😭💔 I'm tryna get rid of my drafts so I'm js gonna do my two favorites for rn💀💀💀 I'll come back to this concept w/ the other three at a later date

Xavier

- he's suupppeeerrr overprotective of u. Bc like, ur not an evolver at all, and u have no sense of urgency, so like anytime there's fluctuations in the area, or even a wanderer appearance, he's teleporting u far, far away

- He loves helping u study for exams >_< and like, for ur online classes, esp if it's a gen ed class that isn't important to ur major, he will do ur assignments for u and even take tests and quizzes

- "Brings me back to the good ol days🙂‍↕️"

- He will have u bring home recipes for the new coffee ur shop has for a limited time so he can practice making it. He really loves (to try) cooking for u ans even if his croissants come out a little burnt, u enjoy it either way.

- u actually live in a dorm bc unfortunately u can't afford an apartment😓💔 Xavier always gets nervous when he's there bc "what if ur roommate says smth?" And ur js like, "She's always bringing smb new over. I promise u, she will not gaf abt me bringing the same boy over everyday."

- he will always make sure to visit the coffee shop everyday to get breakfast or lunch, and even drop off a treat for u.

- "Saw this fresh banana bread and brought u a few slices"

- keeps u in the dark abt everything involving protocores and wanderers bc bless ur soul! Ur too curious for ur own good and would definitely try to do ur own exploring

- he's caught u one too many times looking up the N109 Zone and has scolded u for it.

- oh yeah! And nothing against u, but he refuses to tell u that he's Lumiere bc of how curious u r. And crazy. U would definitely try to hunt him down to get exclusive pictures for ur Lumiere blog💀💀💀

- "Omg Xav!!! Look at this new Lumiere post? He's so cool!"

- *Xavier trying to keep his cool* Yeah. I bet he is😅😅😅

Sylus

- ur more chronically online than he originally thought when he first met u

- "What would u do if when he okay, so u said yes would go?" "Darling, what the FUCK r u talking abt rn?"

- he's trying so hard to convince u that u don't need to work and he can js pay off school for u

- "Crow man. Listen. I get ur super, mega rich, but u might not always be here to support me. I also feel like less of a burden on u. At least w/ my own money I have that security and assurance that I can still support myself if things don't work out between us, or if smth happens to u." "Kitten, I get that, but for the time being, I'm truly not going anywhere. Why don't u js let me pay for everything and u js put all ur money in a savings. I truly don't mind letting u use all my money, I have more than enough to spare."

- gave u one of his apartments to live in so ur not in those janky ass dorms.

- He refuses to let u step foot inside the N109 zone

- "Ur lucky ur even alive rn. If I hadn't caught u snooping around all those months ago-" "Ugh! Live a little? Aren't u all abt living life ln edge?"

- has to hide his motorcycle from u bc for some reason u know how to hotwire different vehicles????

- Mephisto always snitches on u when ur up to no good

- Srsly, bless ur heart. Ur such a curious soul, and Sylus HATES it. He's genuinely surprised on how u have made it this far in life bc the amount of dangerous situations he finds u in

- "So u knew the energy fluctuations in this area were high and u still decided to go???" "I've always wanted to see a Wanderer in person" "😐"

--------------------------------------------------------

Haha😭😭 js Starcrow w/ a regular ass reader who has no sense of danger LMFAOOO. Kinda half assed the end of them bc I'm js trying to clear out my drafts rn while I have a burst of writing energy rn

[little-watcher]

Ellery,

I'm honestly a little surprised you've avoided the parties with copious amounts of alcohol that were prevalent among the youth even in my day.

Though, I suppose spending time with one's family is a better option. Still, I do hope you don't feel that you're missing out on anything.

On regarde les informations et c'est systématiquement la quatrième dimension.

Dans la même séquence, vous avez :

Le résident américain d'origine africaine Omar Sy qui revient sur les plateaux pour dénoncer sempiternellement l'extrême-droite, le dentiste marseillais Salim Laïbi qui appelle les Musulmans à quitter la France pour se mettre à l'abri du racisme des Français (??), le maire de Grenoble Éric Piolle qui réclame la dépénalisation du cannabis, Macron qui veut partager la dissuasion nucléaire française avec le reste de l'Europe, le maire de Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes dans le Nord qui, toujours déguisé en femme, accuse Dorat Moutot d'être nazie parce qu'elle a co-écrit un livre pour dénoncer le transactivisme, les islamo-gauchistes de Sciences-Po qui décrochent le drapeau français de la façade de l'établissement pour lui substituer un drapeau palestinien…

… et au milieu de tout ça, au milieu de cet immense épisode de South Park devenu réalité, vous avez Mathis, adolescent français de 15 ans, notre petit frère, notre gamin à tous, poignardé à mort pour un téléphone par un migrant afghan à Châteauroux.

Un de plus, un mort de plus, encore un des nôtres qu'il va falloir enterrer dans l'indifférence d'une classe médiatico-politique encore occupée à palabrer sur le cannabis, sur le racisme et la transphobie des Français et sur la pluie qui tombe un mois d'avril.

Comment ne pas les détester de toutes nos forces ?

Repose en paix Mathis. Là-haut, bon gamin, dis à Lola, à Thomas et à tous les autres qu'on ne les oublie pas.

footsie, sender initiates footsie with receiver under the table.

Their simple, hearty breakfast had become a cherished part of their routine, though it was hard to have one consistently with Jihyun's demanding job. Still, whenever they could, they made the most of it. The now-empty plates once held scrambled eggs on toast with bacon and avocado—just the right combination to fuel them for their free day ahead.

Yashiro leaned back in his chair, sipping his black, unsweetened coffee, a soft grin forming on his lips as he felt Jihyun’s foot gently rubbing against his leg under the table. He placed his cup down and shot a knowing glance at his fiancé, the playful touch continuing to slide higher.

“Well, well,” Yashiro said with a teasing smile. “I see someone’s up to something naughty. If you're trying to stir up trouble, baby, you're going to have to be a little more direct.”

The body got sick cus of younger siblings and now I'm missing nm. If it wasn't already obvious. Not only was he an emotional protector, he was also a caretaker. He took care of us both in our canon and this life.

Whenever a member of the gang got sick they'd stay in his room to be nursed back to health and he knew the best medicine and how to handle everyone else's needs. I remember sonic and nm got frontsfuck while we were sick ans sonic told a shadow(out of sys) that he wad forcing nm to take care of the body, ans not long after we got better.

Also I've been alone here for over a month it feels like it's been like 900000 years. Creating new headmatss looks really tempting rn..... -ink

honestly i have this weird feeling wembley isnt gonna be the host of the system anymore. i feel like i came out of dormancy for a reason. and ive been fronting a lot lately. so. uuuh. yeah. 

anyway i just want to talk about my roommate from my source hes in the system and he’ll probably see this but fuck it we ball i guess

hes really genuinely so sweet. a lot of people in the system see him as the guy who fucked shit up for us when he showed up last august but he really isnt???? ? like genuinely. hes always tried to seem aloof but having *technically* known him the longest he opens up a lot more when you get to know him. and i have a lot of memories of him and i jusr having nice moments together after the first year of us being roommates. like we cuddled sometimes but back then it was no homo

although   i     think    theres homo now. like i love him. ans i feel like i might have since i first showed up in the sys. but. idk. pretty sure hes not in love with a 3 foot tall hyperactive robot dude

either way yeah. long story short, “and they were roommates” /ref

LÉGENDES DU JAZZ

TRUMMY YOUNG, DE JIMMIE LUNCEFORD À LOUIS ARMSTRONG

‘’But I never did deviate too much from my original style. But you incorporated certain things. Without changing the style. You don’t even know you’re doing it. If you play with a guy like Dizzy and a guy like Bird, you’re bound to pick up a few things automatically. You don’t realize you’re picking ’em up.’’

- Trummy Young

Né le 12 janvier 1912 à Savannah, en Georgie, James Osborne "Trummy" Young a grandi à Richmond, en Virginie, et à Washington, D.C. Fait à signaler, Young avait d’abord joué de la trompette et de la batterie durant son enfance même s’il avait amorcé sa carrière professionnelle comme tromboniste en 1928.

DÉBUTS DE CARRIÈRE

A l’âge de dix-huit ans, Young avait joué successivement avec les Hot Chocolates de Booker Coleman, des Hardy Brothers et des groupes d’Elmer Calloway et Tommy Myles. C’est dans le cadre de sa collaboration avec Myles que Young avait acquis son surnom de ‘’Trummy.’’ À l’automne 1933, l’arrangeur Jimmy Mundy avait quitté le groupe de Myles pour se joindre à l’orchestre d’Earl Hines et avait emmené Young avec lui. Au cours de son séjour de trois ans et demi dans le groupe de Hines, Young, qui était reconnu pour sa capacité de jouer de très hautes notes, avait augmenté la portée de son trombone et avait démontré énormément de puissance. Young avait participé à sept sessions d’enregistrement avec Hines, et s’était notamment illustré comme soliste sur les pièces “Take It Easy”, “Bubbling Over”, “Madhouse”, “Copenhagen” et “Cavernism.” 

Young avait quitté le groupe de Hines en 1937 pour se joindre à l’orchestre de Jimmie Lunceford à New York. Devenu rapidement une des grandes vedettes du groupe, Young avait notamment interprété un solo impressionnant sur la pièce “Annie Laurie’’ lors de son premier enregistrement avec l’orchestre. Lors de la session suivante, datée du 6 janvier 1938, Young avait ajouté une autre corde à son arc en s’illustrant tant comme soliste que comme chanteur sur la chanson “Margie” qui avait remporté un grand succès. Le solo de Young, qui se terminait sur une des hautes notes dont il s’était fait une spécialité, avait été imité plus tard par de nombreux trombonistes. Même si la pièce “Margie” avait été composée en 1920 et avait été un grand succès tant pour le Original Dixieland Jazz Band (la pièce avait été co-écrite par le pianiste J. Russell Robinson et le parolier Con Conrad) que pour le chanteur Eddie Cantor, c’est la version de Young qui était demeurée la plus connue.

Young était resté une des grandes vedettes de l’orchestre durant son séjour de cinq ans avec Lunceford. En plus d’avoir interprété plusieurs solos avec l’orchestre, Young avait co-écrit avec l’arrangeur Sy Oliver les pièces “Tain’t What You Do It’s The Way That You Do It (It's the Way That You Do It)”, qui avait été un grand succès à la fois pour Lunceford et pour Ella Fitzgerald en 1939, et “Easy Does It.’’ Même si Young avait surtout été identifié comme tromboniste, il avait également chanté sur plusieurs enregistrements de Lunceford dont ‘’Cheatin’ On Me”, “The Lonesome Road”, “Ain’t She Sweet”, “I Want The Waiter With The Water”, “Whatcha Know, Joe” et “Easy Street.’’ Parallèlement à sa collaboration avec le groupe, Young avait aussi participé à une session avec Billie Holiday et Teddy Wilson comprenant le grand succès “Let’s Dream In The Moonlight.” En 1942, Young avait d’ailleurs co-écrit avec le saxophoniste et arrangeur Jimmy Mundy et le parolier Johnny Mercer la chanson “Trav’lin’ Light” qui était devenue par la suite un des grands succès de la chanteuse.

Young avait éventuellement quitté l’orchestre de Lunceford en 1943. À l’époque, le groupe traversait une période de déclin. Il faut dire que la r��putation de Lunceford battait de l’aile, car il avait la réputation de ne pas toujours bien payer ses musiciens. À trente et un ans, Young avait donc décidé qu’il était temps d’aller voir ailleurs et de partir à son compte.

Même si Young était reconnu à l’époque comme un musicien de swing au style très mélodique, il était assez polyvalent pour pouvoir évoluer dans une grande variété de contextes. En plus de se produire comme leader, Young avait aussi été membre de l’orchestre de Charlie Barnet durant environ un an. Parmi les membres du groupe de Barnet, on retrouvait plusieurs futurs membres du célèbre First Herd de Woody Herman. Cité dans l’ouvrage Swing to Bop d’Ira Gitler publié en 1987, Young avait expliqué: “Barnett wouldn’t keep a band but so long. When the band got popular, he broke it because he said it was interfering with his pleasure.”

Young avait dirigé une première session comme leader le 7 février 1944. La même année, il avait également enregistré avec le batteur Cozy Cole (dans le cadre d’une session qui comprenait sa composition “Thru’ For The Night” enregistrée avec Coleman Hawkins et Earl Hines), le Billy Eckstine Orchestra, Una Mae Carlisle, Charlie Shavers et Don Byas (dans le cadre d’un V-Disc comprenant une version du classique “Rosetta”). Au cours de cette période, Young avait aussi été un collaborateur régulier de l’émission de radio de la chanteuse Mildred Bailey.

Même si Young avait très peu modifié son style au cours des années, il avait eu peu de difficultés à s’adapter au bebop. Young était d’ailleurs un assidu des clubs de la 52e rue. Grâce à son grand ami le batteur Kenny Clarke, Young avait été présenté à de grands noms du bebop comme Dizzy Gillespie et Thelonious Monk. Il avait aussi enregistré avec les Clyde Hart All-Stars (avec qui il avait chanté quatre chansons), qui comprenaient à l’époque Gillespie et Charlie Parker. Le 9 août 1945, Young avait fait une apparition avec Gillespie sur la version originale de la pièce “Salt Peanuts.’’ Durant la même session, Young avait également collaboré à l’enregistrement de la pièce ‘’Be-Bop’’, la version modernisée du standard “I Can’t Get Started’’ et du classique “Good Bait’’ de Tadd Dameron (qui avait travaillé comme arrangeur avec Lunceford). L’année 1945 avait d’ailleurs été très active pour Young, qui avait fait partie de l’orchestre de Boyd Raeburn avec Gillespie comme artiste invité (sur le classique ‘’A Night In Tunisia’’) et du big band de Benny Goodman. Il avait aussi enregistré avec les groupes de Georgie Auld, Johnny Bothwell, Al Killian et Roy Eldridge, tout en dirigeant sa propre session de swing. Évoquant sa collaboration avec Gillespie, Young avait commenté:

‘’The guys would say, “Let’s do something to trick these guys” So Dizzy had an apartment around on Seventh Avenue, and we all hung around there because Lorraine [Dizzy’s Wife] used to cook. And they started working on different chord progressions to keep these guys out of there. And they wouldn’t tell ’em what tune it was. It might be “I Got Rhythm,” but the chord progressions would be different. They did it to run these guys off there. And they used a lot of technique with it.’’

En 1946, Young avait poursuivi sur sa lancée en enregistrant avec le big band de Benny Carter, le clarinettiste Tony Scott, Buck Clayton, Illinois Jacquet, Tiny Grimes, Jimmie Lunceford (dans une session qui comprenait une nouvelle version du classique “Margie”) et Billy Kyle. Il avait également dirigé deux sessions comme leader. La même année, Young avait participé à la tournée de Jazz at the Philharmonic (JATP), tout en collaborant avec Billie Holiday, Lester Young, Buck Clayton, Coleman Hawkins et Buddy Rich. En 1947, Young avait fait une nouvelle tournée avec JATP tout en participant à des jam sessions avec les saxophonistes Dexter Gordon et Wardell Gray et le trompettiste Howard McGhee. Mais cette activité débordante était trompeuse: après avoir enregistré avec le big band de Gerald Wilson, Young n’avait pas enregistré durant une période de cinq ans.

En réalité, l’absence de Young des studios d’enregistrement n’était pas si mystérieuse. En 1947, Young avait épousé une femme originaire d’Hawaïï, où il n’avait d’ailleurs pas tardé à s’établir. Après avoir relancé sa carrière d’accompagnateur, Young avait formé un groupe de swing et de Dixieland à Honolulu.

Young était finalement revenu sur les feux de la rampe en septembre 1952 après avoir reçu une offre de se joindre aux Louis Armstrong All-Stars. Avec le groupe d’Armstrong, Young avait pris la relève de Jack Teagarden (qui avait été le tromboniste de la formation de 1947 à 1951) et de Russ Phillips (qui avait occupé les mêmes fonctions durant quelques mois).

Young s’était joint au groupe d’Armstrong juste à temps pour participer à une tournée en Scandinavie. La tournée avait remporté tellement de succès que Young était immédiatement devenu un élément essentiel du groupe, dont il avait fait partie durant une période de onze ans. Avec les All-Stars, Young avait joué aux côtés de grands noms du jazz comme les clarinettistes Bob McCracken, Barney Bigard, Edmond Hall, Peanuts Hucko et Joe Darensbourg, les pianistes Marty Napoleon et Billy Kyle, les contrebassistes Arvell Shaw, Milt Hinton, Dale Jones, Squire Gersh, Mort Herbert, Irv Manning et Bill Cronk, et les batteurs Cozy Cole, Kenny John, Barrett Deems et Danny Barcelona.

Durant son séjour avec les All-Stars, Young avait également fait des apparitions dans quelques films avec Armstrong, dont The Glenn Miller Story (1954) et High Society (1956). À la même époque, Young avait aussi participé aux plus importantes réalisations d’Armstrong. Parmi celles-ci, on remarquait des albums en hommage à W.C. Handy (sur lequel il avait interprété une version du standard ‘‘St. Louis Blues’’), et Fats Waller, une performance avec le New York Philharmonic, les tournées mondiales des All-Stars, un album avec Duke Ellington, et la revue The Real Ambassadors de Dave Brubeck. Au cours de cette période, Young avait également participé à l’enregistrement des versions originales des classiques “Mack The Knife” et “Hello Dolly.” Young avait également accompagné les All-Stars lors de 9e édition de la Cavalcade du Jazz, qui avait eu lieu au stade Wrigley Field de Los Angeles en juin 1953.

Parallèlement à son travail avec les All-Stars, Young avait aussi fait des apparitions sur des albums du trompettiste Buck Clayton en 1954, collaboré à un hommage posthume à Jimmie Lunceford en 1957, et à un album du Lawson-Haggart Band. Il s’était aussi produit avec le trompettiste Teddy Buckner dans le cadre du Dixieland Jubilee qui avait eu lieu à Los Angeles en 1958.

Peu après le succès remporté par la chanson “Hello Dolly” en 1964, au grand désappointement d’Armstrong, Young avait finalement décidé d’abandonner les tournées et de retourner à Hawaïï. En 1952, Armstrong et son gérant Joe Glaser avaient rendu hommage à Young en ces termes:

“Swing-based trombonist wanted to join the Louis Armstrong All-Stars. Must be a brilliant and flexible player, have experience working with strong leaders, and have a cheerful personality both on and offstage no matter what the circumstances. Familiarity with Louis Armstrong’s repertoire is a plus along with the ability to make every song and routine sound fresh and lively despite how many times they have previously been performed. Must enjoy traveling and be in excellent physical shape because there will be many lengthy tours. And most of all, the trombonist must love being in a supportive role because, although there will be individual features, the main purpose is to uplift the music of Louis Armstrong.”

Faisant le bilan de sa collaboration avec Armstrong, Young avait commenté: ‘’What I loved about Louis was he was melodic. I’ve always been a melodic guy; I’ve always loved melodic things. I’ve never been a guy that played a lot of exercises and things of this sort, but I’ve always been a melodic player. Now, I’ve looked at various styles of playing. Now, Bird, with all the playing he did, it was melodic. Stop and think of that.’’

DERNIERES ANNÉES

Au cours des vingt dernières années de sa vie, Young avait travaillé avec différents groupes à Hawaïï, tout en dirigeant à l’occasion ses propres formations et en participant à des tournées en Europe (notamment avec Chris Barber en 1978). Il avait également fait une apparition à la Grande Parade du Jazz à Nice, en France, au début des années 1980.

Young retournait aussi parfois aux États-Unis pour participer à des événements spéciaux comme après la mort de Louis Armstrong en 1971. Même s’il avait peu enregistré au cours de cette période, son style était demeuré intact, comme on peut le constater sur des albums comme 1971 Colorado Jazz Party, A Night In New Orleans (1973), ses enregistrements comme leader A Man & His Horn (1975) et Yours Truly (dans lequel il avait été réuni avec Barney Biggard en 1978) ou ses albums plus récents avec le pianiste Billy Dodd en 1983-84. Même si Young reconnaissait que le fait d’avoir travaillé dans différents styles musicaux l’avait influencé, il était toujours demeuré fidèle à lui-même. Il précisait:

‘’But I never did deviate too much from my original style. But you incorporated certain things. Without changing the style. You don’t even know you’re doing it. If you play with a guy like Dizzy and a guy like Bird, you’re bound to pick up a few things automatically. You don’t realize you’re picking ’em up. And every once in a while you hear a guy say, ‘Hey! Trummy! I didn’t know you played modern things!’ I say, ‘I don’t’. He’ll say, ‘Well, listen to this. And he’ll play something that I just without thinking unconsciously played because it’s so imbedded in my mind from hearing it with these guys.’’

Young avait contibué de se produire sur scène jusqu’à la fin. L’une de ses dernières performances lui avait permis de jouer aux côtés de  Billy Butterfield, Kenny Davern et Eddie Miller dans le cadre du Peninsula Jazz Party en juillet 1984. Young est mort à Honolulu deux mois plus tard, le 12 septembre, à la suite d’une hémorragie cérébrale. Il était âgé de soixante-douze ans. Ont survécu à Young ses deux soeurs, son épouse Sally Tokashiki et ses deux filles Andrea (qui était devenue chanteuse de jazz) et Barbara. Selon une biographie de Young publiée dans le magazine Awake en juillet 1977, le tromboniste avait adhéré aux Témoins de Jéhovah en 1964.

[starlight-archives]

This has been something I have been brewing for a long while now! Mainly because it really, really bothered me lmao

See, as iconic as Danganronpa is, the way they depicted a DID system is extremely problematic. I'm not a system myself but even I know the harmful stereotypes of "serial killer alters" and how DID is seen as something "scary" because of these harmful tropes. It is not something "quirky" and it is not something to be demonised. Depictions like these unfortunately lead to misconceptions about this disorder, which I once have had and have seen others have.

And thus, out of spite but also now full of love and passion, I have attempted a rewrite of Toko and Syo! My good homie @banooky (an actual system) has seen me ramble about this rewrite a number of times and has encouraged me to post about it here! Also give them a follow, they're really cool!

That being said, everything shall be under the cut!

First of all, for some context regarding pronouns and such, Syo is a male alter who uses he/him pronouns and is gay as hell. I do see Toko as being bi though!

Anyways, I obviously scrapped the serial killer aspect because that's gross as hell! Like what the fuck!!! That being said, Syo still was initially violent. Not because he's an "evil" alter but because he was a misguided protector who believed violence would protect the system, not realising it was actually stressing Toko out knowing "she" apparently attacked numerous people but not remembering any of it. Even seeing video proof and photos, she couldn't remember it and she was scared of herself for the longest time. They already had a shitty home life in the first place (I gesture towards the canon version of their backstory), so this behaviour only further aggravated their parents.

A lot of the time, Syo would fight (but not kill) those who tried to hurt Toko, whether it be physically or emotionally. He was also very angry at everything and everyone too, even yelling at Toko in their shared consciousness to "stay in line" and to "let him handle things" as he believed that this was the way to keep them safe.

Over time he does eventually become less violent, though he still is very quick to anger. Toko would do her best to supress him over the years once she had learned of his existence, though that did not work as he (and several other alters) would slip through the mental walls she'd attempt to put up against them. But what truly allowed Syo to calm down and reform was what I call a Naegi Intervention.

It had been a long time since he was able to front so the day he suddenly awoke and was front stuck the whole day, he was extremely disorientated. To the point he even put on the wrong uniform (and Toko had gotten both male and female uniforms because she did like the male uniforms but wouldn't have worn the male one in public, even if it seemed more comfortable than a skirt some days.)

Though despite the obvious confusion, most of the class assumed Toko (really Syo) was having an off day, though they were concerned. No one was close enough to Toko at the time though, so they were a little hesitant to ask if everything was okay. But through out the day, Naegi was the one who helped Syo around the school and even walked around with him to help him get his bearings under the assumption this was indeed Toko he was speaking to. The next day, Toko herself apologised and explained the situation to him out of fear Syo had done something terrible again but, Naegi was so confused. But he was indeed willing to learn and understand their situation! And, thus, Naegi became the first person they had ever trusted with knowing about their existence! Over time, Syo would grow less ans less hostile towards others and actually turned out to be a silly yet somewhat awkward kind of guy, though not afraid to speak his own opinion. He would even try to front more often just to speak to Naegi more and even started developing a little crush on him.

Ah but um. Speaking of crushes, Toko and Syo would make fun of each others tastes in men, especially once communication between the both of them becomes more easier. Syo desperately wants Toko to have better taste in men because she only ever goes after the red flags, but Toko thinks Syo's taste in men is boorrrinnngg— He would throw hands with her in their shared headspace over this but he can't bring himself to. If one ever sees them space out and it's not related to them being triggered, they are arguing over who's taste in better. /j

I'm also yet to think of who they would be specifically, but they would also have several other alters in their system! I wouldn't even be surprised if they had many, many introjects from not only the books they would read for comfort in their youth but also the characters from the novels Toko has written. But both Toko and Syo are simply the main fronters. And, hmm, I like to believe that due to Toko's creativity, they have a decent grasp of visualising their inner landscape. Initially, they would have perceived it as a dark set of rooms, but it eventually flourished into a cozy little village by the sea. It's sort of their dream place to be in, in the outer world. They'd love to live in a cozy house by the sea.

I also like to think that over time, they would have gotten comfortable enough with the rest of the cast that they'd allow them to know of their existence too, and be more purposefully covert in their switches. For example, when they have an idea of who'd be fronting for at least the majority of the day, they coordinate their clothing to be more masculine if Syo is the main fronter that day and to be more feminine if it's Toko. But on days they're less certain, especially if they're feeling like they may switch a number of times, they do have more easy to switch cues like their hairstyle (braids for Toko and ponytails for Syo) or bracelets if adjusting their hair turns out to be too much effort a particular day. It really depends on several factors. I also like to think that they also started living away from their family pretty young (and especially after gaining success with Toko's books), so this sort of coordination is safe for them now.

I also like to think that Syo would also get along with Mondo and would train with him too! I think it'd be cute as hell. I'm yet to think about their dynamic with other characters as of now, but I'll perhaps add onto this if I ever do! I'm.. not exactly that deep in the fandom these days anyway.

If I feel silly enough I may even draw this rewrite too!

Tw: dormancy, bullying, repetition, delusions, politics.

GOd its been so long since everyone left. I feel like a singlet, I feel like none of it was real and all of this was just results of delusions. It would make sense I am delusional, it wouldn't be the first time an IRL identity became so strong it felt like it was completely seperate being. Even before the current version of us, when we were first getting into sys stuff on the anti side I remember believing there was a system before the current iteration of us. Less people but still very real. I feel so fake like none of this is real, like I'm not even real. I want this feeling to go away.

Why did stupid politics take my sysmates away from me. I knowbit was politics because it stresses us a lot, we feel like everything political is our fault, and even have sysmates with connections to n*zis just because of their source even though they themselves wernt even apart of that in their personal canons. Hell I even blame our irl 'friends' who constantly make fun of me, invalidate our nonhumanity by just labeling us as 'the furry', one of them caused Joker to stop Fronting because they've stated they hated every version of the Joker including the lego one, and invalidated sonic by saying, 'oh just cus you kin sonic doesn't mean you are him.' News flash bitch. That is me. But he's gone now. So whatever. I kniw they didn't know, they didn't mean it.bhut it still fuckinf hurts knowing we can't be ourselves without being bullied and made fun of for it. I feel like we're back to desperately trying to appeal to fake friends from the past but not being able to cus we can't mask our autism for shit, even tho our 'friends' are/were also autistic. I know it's not that but it fuckinf feels that way.

I want my sysmates back. It's not fair. I need them to come back. I feel so unreal why does the brain keep tricking me into believing that they came back. Is it cus it fucking hates me or something? God I feel so lonely ans neglected rn. I want them back. I wanna make new sysmates but it feels wrong cus then I'm replacing everyone else its not fair. It's not fair. It's not fair. I want out. Please let me out. Please bring them back.

Gosh I feel like everyone secretly fucking hates me and I wanna delete all our social media ans block everyone. I shouldn't tho cus I need friends/lh
