#that's still fermenting

[ladygoofball]

I think it's well past time to post some of the sketchbook pictures I've got sitting around and build up this character a bit more.

Has it been so long that Luana forgot who Dumuzi is? Has she forgotten that she is a part of Inanna's story?

Yes, that's what happens when you ride the Pegasus for too long and the wild magic takes you out of your depth.

What happened? It's a long story, below the cut.

She's been resting in Evermeet after defeating the Netherbrain, last I checked. She goes by a new name, since she knows that she was not cast out by her family but rather she was manipulated into believing that they would never want her back in Evermeet. The reality of the realization (combined with an insane sequence of world changing events) shattered her psyche, and she remains fragmented after attempting to create a projection to be in two places at once.

Tanar'ri is a name given to those who have been abandoned, Ivae'ess is a title held dear in the Osirant clan to signify the next generation's Matriarch/Patriarch. When Luana embraced her Aasimar roots, she merged with her Divinity (Inanna) and became Luana Ivae'ess of the Osirant clan.

She has not found her family yet, but she knows where to start looking for them upon her return to Evermeet.

I don't think she's going to remember her past until she reunites with her Divine Self Inanna. That's how the story goes. Unfortunately, Inanna is still rising from the underworld after being released by Ereshkigal.

Inanna was about to ascend from the underworld When the Annuna, the judges of the underworld, seized her. They said: No one ascends from the underworld unmarked. If Inanna wishes to return from the underworld, She must provide someone in her place.

Inanna refuses to give up her little sun elf without a fight. The goddess demands to be reminded who was calling her the Queen of Heaven before she made the descent into the underworld.

Perhaps that will be enough to jog Luana's memory from the labyrinth that she has been trapped in for the past couple months. Dipping my toes back into this space after taking a break to focus on working again has wrecked me in the best possible way.

Strawbebbie "wine" started 🍓

I really really thought I had another unopened bag of sugar, but it wasn't there when I went to grab it, so I ended up using honey to push it to the 1.1 SG I wanted. So I think it might just be the teeny tiniest bit over 50% fermentables coming from honey, which technically makes it a melomel not a wine, but w/e it should be tasty regardless, and assuming it goes completely dry should end up in the ~13.5-14% abv range

[why-the-heck-not]

2nd batch of sourdough! Lots better than the first, actually got some crumb structure this time (bc the starter is finally ready for bread)

Are there other characters within Quinn and Vincent's world? And sorry if I missed it, but have you talked about the role of non-humans in the military? The piece you made with some of their documents was really interesting, but especially from a worldbuilding perspective!

hihi yes! I do have a bunch of characters in mind for this universe already 😙 There are several members of their military unit (perhaps a secret werewolf 🤫), as well as Quinn's dad and sister, his former squad mate, a problematic ex, Vincent's geriatric bff, evil past acquaintances, etc... I'm still trying to piece everything together but it's been fun so far 🤙

As for the role of non-humans in the military--it was a recent development, alongside the integration of said 'abhuman' people into modern society. Quinn's unit is specifically committed to combating supernatural threats, so Vincent was taken on as a sort of field consultant--he has intimate expertise on the subject, as well as heightened senses/reflexes/strength etc (plus he's a veteran ☝️). Naturally, there had been a fair amount of opposition to allowing this in the first place (due to preconceived notions that all vampires are inherently dangerous), but after witnessing him in the field, I think no one can dispute the effectiveness of Vincent's unique skillset 💅 slay, quite literally

[greelin]

really like that the “what do you believe the stance vampires generally have towards periods?” question is either met with immediate disgust (loser/skill issue) and shutdown with zero discussion or the most scholarly of debates (normal. well-adjusted and good) for various viewpoints on the matter. people will be saying paragraphs to you. people who i respect, anyway

[necrotic-nephilim]

Give me your most controversial dc opinions!!!

HA YES GLADLY I WOULD LOVE TO (added a read more because i had a lot of words oopsie)

The Titans Tower Incident was in character for Jason Todd. at worst, it's a *bit* over-dramatic and a little cringey, but if you consider his actions, his motivations, and what he *actually* does, i honestly don't think it's OOC for him. he's just kind of a dramatic asshole in that era and i stand by that comic. the issue isn't the comic itself, it's how people interpret it.

i think the DC fandom, specifically the Batfamily fandom, really likes to claim to be progressive for brownie points, but then will have the one token woman that everyone decides is acceptable to hate. like, it's one thing if you dislike Carrie Kelley, i get it. Frank Miller isn't a great writer of women and she can be a lack of a character in the original Dark Knight Returns. but if you go out of your way making constant edits and posts shitting on her, it's *weird*. especially when most of the people shitting on her haven't even consumed her source, and their reasons for disliking her can apply to any other Robin, especially Tim. but as long as you put say, Steph or Cass on a pedestal, you can talk on and on about how you want to kill Carrie for the crime of existing. it feels like acceptable misogyny. i also think this extends to writers. if you put say, Gail Simone on a pedestal, you're free to blame everything under the sun on Devin Grayson. (to be clear i think you can and should hate Devin Grayson for a lot of things, but most rumors about her are untrue and if you look at every badly written comic and go "sounds like something Devin Grayson would write" that's really weird bc everything she's done, men like Chuck Dixon, Tom King, Tom Taylor, Marv Wolfman, etc have done in tenfold.) like, misogyny = bad unless it's That One Woman We've All Agreed To Hate. it's weird and i keep noticing it. and no one seems to unpack it. (i mostly see this on TikTok, not Tumblr tbf)

i don't care if you ship BruDick or not, but it's not weird for canon content to imply or state Dick had a crush on Bruce when he was first taken in. even in canon where Dick sees Bruce as a "father figure" in the most generous sense, that bond took years to build and when Dick was freshly orphaned, he *had* the memory of loving parents and didn't want Bruce to fill that role. you don't have to ship BruDick, you don't even have to like batcest, but if you're vitriolic toward just the idea that "hey maybe a young kid on the cusp of puberty might have some weird feelings to work out about the canonically very attractive mysterious playboy who took him in before seeing him as family because that bond took years to build" is nasty and terrible and wrong to you, you don't like the Batfamily, you just like the nuclear "neat" version of it in your head

the Batfamily characters are *all* too hypercompetent. like all of them are just *too* good at what they do that in order to write them in interesting arcs together, you have to willingly make some of them OOC in order to not immediately have the Problem wrapped up. i get it, Bruce is the greatest detective, Tim is wicked smart, Jason's a heavy hitting brawler, but we've reached a point where all of these characters have so many buffs they're not *fun* anymore. especially not in a group setting where you need to justify them needing each other's help. and even worse-so when they interact outside of the Gotham, you end up making every non-Batfam character seem useless just to make the Batfamily look cool. it's exhausting. i want to see these characters lose fights, look stupid, and not be the best for once. they're all getting so good they're just kind of. boring. which is the worst sin for a character, IMO.

i think we should go like. a good year of all Justice League-related teams not having a single Bat on the roster. just as a cleanse so *someone else* can shine. i get why non-Batfam DC fans are sick of the Batfamily bc jesus. it's oversaturation of the market.

power scaling "who would win" fights are fucking boring and i don't care. that's the least interesting thing about the fandom. you're missing the point of all of these characters if you only care about who could win a brawl. also it's just a stupid debate because the answer will *always* be: whoever the author of the comic wants to win.

the Batfamily is too damn big. i love every single one of them do not get me wrong. i'd die for the little niche characters who are likely never going to be relevant again like Julia Pennyworth or Kate Spencer. but it's too fucking big at this point. it's insisted to us that these characters are family but like. half of them have barely existed on the same page together more than once. it's ridiculous and it cannot sustain itself. none of these characters are allowed proper shine because they'll just get dropped for the next new shiny character. i think Maps Mizoguchi is a cool lil lady, but i know in my soul in like. three years she will fade into comics limbo and we'll have a new shiny character to fawn over. it's a brutal cycle bc DC doesn't know how to give any of these characters follow through, just wants to wave around cool new concepts.

both Under The Red Hood and Death In The Family are mediocre adaptations and strip the most important emotional elements of Jason's story from the plot. you can't properly adapt Jason's death if you leave his mother out of it. like they're phenomenal movies as their own pieces of media, but they lack the necessary emotional weight for Jason.

on the note of adaptations: the Young Justice cartoon is i think the best case study of "how do you react to a piece of media that's amazing on it's own, but is a fucking horrible adaptation?" because like, i can't discredit it. it's a good show. but it's a bad adaptation and i think people using it as an entry point for DC can make their views of certain characters and teams *very* warped. the Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey movie falls into a similar vein for me. if that movie was it's own thing with original characters, it'd likely be a top five movie for me. but because it's *such a fucking bad adaptation* i can't help but hate it for brutalizing the characters and the general concept of the BoP. it should've been a Gotham Sirens movie, and Young Justice should've been a Teen Titans show. and sure, adaptations don't owe us accuracy, but they have negative effects on the comics when they gain popularity. so i struggle to like Young Justice bc of how badly it's affected certain characters.

also on the note of adaptations: the best adaptation of how comic media operates is the Sandman tv show. adapting comics to tv shows or movies is difficult bc comic arcs don't operate the way show/movie arcs do, but the Sandman show proves it's absolutely doable to adapt the storytelling style while still making the typical adjustments you need for an adaptation.

DC needs more Deaf representation. in most areas, DC either matches Marvel or outperforms Marvel with representation of marginalized identities, but it's fucking tragic we have no deal Deaf rep in DC whereas Marvel has quite a few to pick from. this one is personal bc i'm Deaf but it does fuck me up the only option we have is a side character from Tim Drake: Robin who doesn't appear anywhere else and isn't a great character overall. DC i'm in your walls.

on the note of representation, if i see one more person say Titans had "perfect casting" while in the same breath admitting Dick was whitewashed, you are weird and i dislike you. it's really fucking weird that whitewashing is permissable to this fandom if the actor cast/fancast is hot. Dick should've been a Roma actor. Damian should not be fancast as a white actor. it's the bare minimum.

i have so many more but i will end with this especially controversial one: Dan Mora's art is overhyped. that man has the worst same face syndrome i've ever seen and i will not lie half the time i can't tell which Robin he's drawing. his art is technically gorgeous and it's so pretty to look at, but begging for every comic series to be drawn by him is boring and terrible. the art style of a comic reflects it's genre. wanting all comic art to look like Dan Mora's art is sucking the style out of comics. i miss art styles like Todd Nauck's that clearly reflected the genre of the comic.

i lied i have one more i'm REALLY passionate about: Tim's vigilante name after Red Robin should not be bird-themed. naming him Sparrow or Cardinal is *just* as bad as naming him Red Robin longterm. they're *just* as derivative and they *sound* cool but don't hold any real unique identity for Tim outside of Robin. like it baffles me we all agree he needs to move on from Robin and then decided "let's name him Robin Lite". if he has a bird name, it should be Jackdaw so at the very least, he's not red anymore. and Jackdaw could be a fun callback to Drake, in that it uses part of Tim's real name (his middle name, Jackson) while standing out a bit. but if i really had creative control i'd give him a completely unique name. if it has to be Batfamily related, Gray Ghost. but in my head, his name should be Conspiracy. i could write a lengthy meta on why and tbh it is based in my love for the Question and wanting Tim to have a similar detective noir-esque gritty solo, but i genuinely don't think he should be Cardinal or Sparrow. those names only continue his identity issues of being trapped as either Robin or a Robin knockoff.

is the worldbuilding in the room with us now?

"My sister is trying to court the little Tremaine." Freddie grumbles,rolling her eyes. And also her other eyes. All of the googly eyes she's got glued to her purse, and the embroidered ones on her coat all roll in sync with each other. The overall effect is very Isle chic. It's almost comforting. 

"If it helps at all, they're being very cute about it," Evie says, carefully maintaining her tone of absolute innocence. She certainly hasn't been encouraging Dizzy's advances, no siree. Freddie doesn't need to know about the cobweb coat that's hanging above Dizzy's table in the workshop right now. Evie's only been helping a little bit with the bedazzling. "I think they're sweet together." 

Freddie's eyes narrow. "Enabler." 

"Me? Fred, come on." 

Freddie swats at the hand that Evie's laid innocently on her chest. "You're enabling them somehow, I know it. Don't put on that act with me."

Evie swallows back her giggle. "No act, I just think they're sweet. They cuddle sometimes." 

Freddie growls, a low rumbling that picks up in her throat and reverberates through Evie's bones. "I'll kill her." 

"Which one?" Evie offers sweetly. "Because if you're looking to defend Celia's virtue, I think you're a little too late. That ship sailed while they were still living under the same roof." 

"You let them--" 

"I did. We were doing it at their age. We're fine." 

"I wouldn't call us--" Freddie sweeps both hands out in a broad gesture that somehow ecompasses both girls, her blinking eyeball purse, and Evie's glistening white kitchen as a whole. "Fine. I mean, look at this shit.  You have fake fruit on your counter." 

Evie snatches the glossed banana out of her friend's un-tender grip. "I have preserved fruit on my counter, actually. And it's there for a reason. Don't break it." 

Freddie relinquishes the banana, but leans back so she can cross her arms in an appropriately disapproving manner. "Why would I break you banana, princess?" 

"Lots of reasons. Maybe you have a grudge against bananas in general. Maybe you hate mine specifically. Maybe you've got a secret anti-fruit vendetta that you're acting upon one poor, unfortunate fruity soul at a time. Maybe," Evie leans in so they're nearly nose to nose. "You just want something from me, and abusing my fruit is the fastest way to get it." 

Freddie scoffs. 

"Hardly. What I want is to know why the hell you keep preserved fruit on your counter when any kid could come along and break a tooth on it." 

"It's a science experiment." 

Freddie's eyebrows crawl up her face. "Explain."

"Gladly. Everything arrives on the Isle already rotten, right?" 

"Right. Like us." 

Evie can be generous. She ignores this breach of manners, and forges ahead undaunted. "So, we deserve better than that. If we fix what arrives on the Isle, it goes a long way towards keeping things inhabitable, or at least bearable for the kids who are still stuck there while Ben works on the legal grounds to get them out safely.  I started a few experiments in food preservation, oh, maybe a few months ago?" 

"So this banana--" 

"Is four months old. Yes." 

Freddie lowers herself to go eye-to-eye with the preserved fruit bowl. "But it's solid." 

"Yes." 

"So if I peel this open..." 

Ah. No. 

"I didn't say that I've mastered the experiments yet," Evie says, sliding the bowl backwards before Freddie can try anything stupid. "I've succeeded in preserving some fruits, but the tradeoff is that they're currently fully preserved." 

"So?" 

"Inedible." Evie explains. "We preserved them too well. They'll just pass through your body fully undigested." 

"Gross." 

"You don't know gross until you're looking at a stool sample full of undigested orange chunks." Evie says grimly. "We almost called in Fairy Godmother for a case of magical poisoning before we realized that it wasn't organ tissue sloughing off on the way out."

I alluded to this fact in a previous question about Theo's preferences for companions: it really depends.

Read more because this got long... tl;dr: IT WOULD REQUIRE A LOT OF SQUEEZIN' AND THE JUICE WOULDN'T BE WORTH IT TO ANYONE IN-UNIVERSE WHO WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM EVERY DAY.

Someone could exist who could, in theory, get along with him perfectly and be his ideal man/woman (which again, he doesn't even really know what that would be, so he wouldn't know it when he saw it), and they could start off on the wrong foot with him, set off a tantrum spiral and never recover his esteem for the rest of his life.

Even if someone who could be compatible with him was able to pick their way through the bear traps of his mind and get close to him, that doesn't necessarily mean anything would come of it. He can get infatuated easily, experience flickers of attraction - but he would much rather ignore those feelings than act on them in any way beyond just trying to be a good and loyal friend and benefactor.

And then, even if someone got close to him, and he was infatuated with them AND recognized those emotions for what they are (a big ask in and of itself), he STILL would not want to enter a romance because that would change the nature of the relationship, he doesn't know what to do in a relationship, and he wouldn't want to entrap someone in a relationship with him (Gods, the horror) or suffer the travails and indignities of romance because all his experiences tell him that eros is a corrupting force and always ends really, really badly.

So one could ask him to start a relationship, and the absolute best result would probably be a polite and firm decline with some blathering about the nobility of "unrequited courtly devotion," with the more typical result being a meltdown.

Effectively, one would have to stay close to him for actual years in close proximity without leaving for greener pastures than him (which one should) and maybe, maaaaaybe if the right mental dominos fall he could conceivably think of entering a relationship. Except in Amaranthine, he'd only want to do that with a childbearing woman because he feels he needs to have children to continue his withered, hollow excuse of a family tree. AND THAT WOULD START A WHOLE OTHER SAGA. ALL THAT ABOVE WAS JUST GETTING TO FIRST BASE, LET'S NOT EVEN GET INTO WHAT IT'D TAKE TO GET ALL THE WAY TO FOURTH. Anyone not able to produce more Norths would have a whole 'nother endurance test to slog through to work through his issues about debt to his family and legacy and all that nonsense. And would either path be worth it to someone? Performing years worth of informal therapy (not real therapy, he hates doctors!) on a messed-up guy just to get him to maybe agree to go out with you? Probably not!

To bring it back to the beginning, despite all I've written here, it all depends. I don't think I can write a rulebook or point-by-point guide for "how to get Theo to agree to date another imaginary person" because in the end, he is a fictional character and he is more beholden to what would be interesting for my partner and I to write and draw versus anything else. And it would depend on the setting, the characters involved, the circumstances that befall them, myriad little factors that could influence what feels natural for him to do. Maybe there could be an interesting story we come up with where he falls irrationally head-over-heels for someone and proposes the same day. He could also spurn all companionship and focus his attention on other pursuits.

So... if anyone is expecting any sweet blossoming love stories to come to fruition within Theo’s story in Amaranthine… the odds aren't good. I don’t have much interest in writing “romance” as a genre, only incredibly dysfunctional relationships as a vehicle to cause strife and comedy in fucked-up weirdos' lives.

I think if Tails ever drinks alcohol when he's older, he'd drink the ones that taste like juice and that ONLY !!!

Also as much as I love Shadow holding traits that contrast to his appearence, he would drink alcohol normally. My guy eats straight up COFFEE BEANS he'd like the strong/bitter taste of alcohol I'd think.

[lovesodeepandwideandwell]

I feel GOOD in my BODY guys this is astounding

[hoardlikegoldenirises]

I made some very minor edits to my Man-Spider ref for Peter (link) so since Kaine is the source of the man-spider transformation in-universe (...spoilers?), I figured I ought to sketch out some stuff.

The face ref is just edited from Peter's though lol.

update: I am going with 2 human arms and—

this like in Scarlet Spider (issue #15). I think that's a good way to do it and I like the Other's design anyway.

anyway, some closeups:

man down!!!

man getting up!

spikes :)

also I have written out the scenes where this happens and actually he should have basically the entire top half of his suit missing at the point for reasons but obviously it isn't drawn that way lol

6 arm stuff i am scrapping

—

Tarantula transformation in AU is pretty similar to regular 616—he dies, he becomes a freaky spider guy for a bit. There's no cocoons or anything though, just nasty body horror, and the circumstances are mildly specific in that in my AU Kaine is frequently on immunosuppressants (and a bunch of other medications), which has a side effect of... preventing the tarantula from happening in the event of fatality. So when this happens it necessitates Kaine being off of his medications.

It's the kind of thing where it's like, his body is actively trying to kill him at all times but also prevents him from dying, so the medications he takes make it so that's less intense/technically keep him alive, but also make it way easier for him to actually die (on account of being immunosuppressed) and also the meds... stop the tarantula from busting out if he dies, so it stops him from resurrecting... otoh his medications also help alleviate several of his agonies. so it's like. well, you know. he can't eat fermented food but at least he's not vomiting blood every day!

this is the costume he's wearing in those pics by the way:

oh btw here is a side by side comparison of Kaine and Peter's faces:

Kaine is a little paler and still has a nose. lmao. also he has so much hair it looks much nicer than Peter's—Peter has thick hair but he doesn't have hair like Kaine does, you know?? It's more obvious when half of it falls out, though I think I probably still made Kaine's hair too thick and nice looking.

You can also see that their little iridescent bits are slightly different colors.

   In order to understand Satoru, one has to look at the condition of the Gojo Clan. Note, a lot of these headcanons co-exist with @achroanimus who has acted as his guardian for centuries. The crux of the Six Eyes is reincarnation, an endless life cycle that is constantly looping, it was only severed when one inheritor was murdered in infancy. Does this grant them high social standing? Yes, but the birth of the Six Eyes is viewed as a reunion, many will attest, all are a little different than the last but not without delight / love.

    It was only after the gruesome act of assassination that an inheritor was never to be raised among others, taken care of by a slew of nannies && attendants, this would mean Satoru has no indication of who birthed him or sired him. He is sired by the Gojo Clan's rare anomaly - a son by the name of Itsuki who's namesake is that of a Great Tree. Itsuki is just that, he is the willow with deep roots that upholds the idealogy of the family; they are born of nothing blessed of the heavens, they shall remain modest && devout, Itsuki would serve his role to assure a child of reunion was brought into this world. In modern terms; he is no one, deemed a nothing son, as he is not the inheritor of the Six Eyes but a medic with incredible RCT skills. The great willow tree is known for his aloofness but unfathomable love for the Honored One even if he was denied a chance to properly raise his son. While Satoru is the small serpent who becomes a dragon, Itsuki remains as the roots of the family, branching out while constructing order, forbidding those who seek entrance to the estate with formidable force - his gaze is thunderous blue mimicking the storms; fearsome, ferocious, quiet && utmost loyal to his young lordling. Today, he handles medicine && stitching his child back together, among the other noble families, he is deemed snake that would stab anyone even his own to protect Satoru. In Itsuki's eyes, Satoru is more than a God, he is still a beloved son. Moving onto where the Gojo Clan resides!

          There are two estates, one in Tokyo is that ultra modern && beautiful, it can be found within the Chiyoda ward, Satoru is rarely if ever seen there. In fact, his true whereabouts or primary residency is a mystery but it’s nestled within the city in the most unlikely of places, though he does tend to venture from safe house (being assassinated for generations sure makes life difficult). The primary estate is in Hokkaido nestled against the mountain region, he does in fact have a cabin somewhere that he tends to use liberally once back home, Satoru will only return in the winter to uphold any diplomacy. Though, his dialect tends to be strange as it masks the truth of his natural tongue, because of the rich agriculture, he tends to favorite fruits && spring flowers, due to the guardianship of Inari’s kin, the Gojo Clan never would understand the ordeal of a harvest that did not flourish. Rice is also considered a good omen from their clan, onigiri is a constant snack he seems to enjoy either grilled or with umeboshi as he abstains from eating meat. The Gojo Clan within Hokkaido is referred to as rowan’s, the analogy of him being a rowan in the snow is ever constant, some use it as a term of endearment others to sneer.

    They are all aware of what it takes to home a God && have no indication of showing any resistance or fear, the seldom belief is to follow their deity && ignore all else as trivial matters mean little. The other families are barred entrance into both estates, they have proved themselves in days of yore to be tainted, thus they are not allowed to proceed further. Naoya (@antinomos) is the only one who Satoru will allow to visit as the two were on mutual terms as children, friends even he will often recall, but both heirs have to adhere to the same cycle that is never ending. These are just smaller headcanons that have been collected here.

Their moniker is the dragonfly, Satoru since childhood always wears robes with the same print, silver is often stitched into their robes && for those who have a higher rank; gold. Hence, he tends to wear jewelry in such hues, diamonds && sapphires are extremely coveted.

Sweet incense are constantly burned, there is a deep scent of ylang-ylang within their lodgings, the attendants like to boast mulled cider or wine is a specialty drink even if Satoru cannot drink it (they make him tea or cocoa). 

The Inverted Spear of the Heavens rightfully belonged to them in the Heian Era but was lost in conflict, since it is one of few cursed tools that can rightfully kill Satoru && other Six Eyes, they will pursue it at all cost. It is viewed as the arm of the Six Eyes, thus, to own it is rendering a God to kneel. Toji's usage of it was brutal enough that all eyes awakened, furious a nothing son of the Zen'ins would dare to growl at the Honored One, Satoru loathes this relic to bits - it terrifies him.

Since the Kitsune blessed them, it’s normal to find in both estates effigies of foxes, in Hokkaido the vulpine return during the winter && bring great delight. There is a rather generous shrine that has been kept for generations, always with an offering, always burning with glee. Satoru himself also keeps fox charms or trinkets upon himself, even if he is meant to resemble a serpent, the Hydra.

The mark of those born into the Gojo Clan often are stormy hued eyes, silver to soft white hair, pale ice blonde was once a noticeable trait but considered an ill omen. It is rare for anyone with their blood to inherit black hair but not unheard of it will dim to a pepper color in maturity. They tend to carry an arrogance or relaxed nature, knowing deeply none will trample upon them && hold this knowledge like a vice.

Satoru was born to a woman known as Umeko, he has hinted that he is unaware of who his mother is. The heir was raised by many attendants along with milkmaids, Umeko was known to show favor, thus breaking tradition the child should not know who their parental figure is solely for safety protocol. She would remove her veil to play with him, as if imprinting a reminder there was someone who had a similar face, as Satoru recalls - he has her eye shape, lips, nose, and long willowy structure. Like previous members of the family, she was able to uphold Infinity, using it to steal time with her child && fall asleep under the plum trees together. Itsuki never had the heart to tear them apart, she departed from the estate on Satoru's fourth birthday, thus his memory is murky of her. He always is saddened when murmuring, I look like my mother. Although, his bone structure in his facial features mimics Itsuki's - dimpled, boyish, high cheekbones with a elegant jaw structure.
