N Sewell Theory: Tier X

There has been much speculation and even more discussion of what N’s yet-to-be-revealed second and more powerful Tier X power is. Special thank you to my friends that I’ve had so many talks with about this!

My prediction is that their Tier X power is some sort of emotional transference. Whether that be that N’s emotions sort of mixing in or that something happens to heighten the emotions or the raw, deep emotions are bared and come to light. How it would work I’m not sure but something in these realms.

Some of it may be mediated by touch. A reason N is careful with their hands, shoving them into their pocket when feeling some big emotion (good or bad). You can pick it out when they’re around A and for them, I think there’s some back and forth.

The best example comes from book one - Kate Hayes. While the vampires do use their pheromones, with N, she doesn’t have this momentary respite from grieving, she tells them to find the person who killed her son. A tumblr ask does mention that N’s emotions can sometimes mix in, as it did with Kate (and maybe even N’s own grief over what happened go Garret). You don’t see it in b3 with Addie’s parents likely because the sun weakening the vampires’ abilities - but you do see N outwardly mournful of what happened to Addie, unable to interview her parents.

Book two, the mirror scene. Which I always thought was an example of their newly-turned and tier X powers sort of at a peak. Heightened emotions, anger, ire, a vicious cycle. Plus, whoever turned them was likely on the ship causing mass chaos and disaster.

There is an interesting N / Rebecca POV unseen scene on the Patreon that shows another example.

May be why they purposely take in half a ration of blood rather than the full that they need.

Now all of that said, I do believe they do not use this power to the best of their abilities. Certainly not on the detective (the detective is immune to it, anyway). A tumblr ask did say that N prefers not to use their pheromones, and that they’d rather use their charm and suaveness in lieu of. Experts in reading people, body language.

Plus, I know there’s been a lot of thought that their tier x power could be mind control or something - tumblr ask ruled out any sort of psychic power.

Now, I could absolutely be wrong in this! This is just speculation. We won’t know until we read it in the books. I anticipate that we’ll find out in book 3.

If you’ve made it this far. Thank you, I love you. Please be gentle.

So lately I’ve been having Wayhaven Chronicles brain rot and I planned on making bracelets to wear while at my local Pride festival so I was like why not and made bracelets inspired by Unit Bravo 🥳

for the @dreamlingbingo

Square/Prompt: C1- Civil War

Title:

Rating: G

Ship(s): Dream of the Endless/Hob Gadling

Warnings: n/a

Additional Tags: enjoyment of period dramas, look Rufus Sewell is a fine looking man and I can't be convinced otherwise.

Hob and Dream are watching The Power and the Passion (lucky them, wish I was)

“I didn’t think they’d do it, y’know?” Hob says, leaning back on the couch and folding his arms across his chest.

Dream, feet tucked up and chin resting upon his bent knees, turns his attention momentarily away from the screen to give Hob an inquiring look. 

“Chop his dad’s head off,” Hob elaborated, nodding at the TV where an episode of an early 2000s miniseries is currently playing. It is about King Charles II- The Power and the Passion- and they’re watching it partly because Dream has displayed an unreasonable interest in and enjoyment of period dramas, but mainly because- well: Rufus Sewell.  “King Charles I, I mean,” Hob adds, as if Dream could not have guessed who he was talking about.

“I don’t believe he thought they would, either,” Dream says, turning his eyes back to the TV where the powerful king Charles seems to be enjoying a moment of passion with his mistress. The series wasn’t particularly edifying (especially to someone who lived through the era) but it was accurately named and quite fun at least. “He was a strong dreamer. I remember him well. Those who have strong convictions in the Waking often carry it over into the Dreaming; and Charles help full conviction in his indisputable right to rule; his diving right.”

“Bloody hell, I bet old Cromwell had a strong Dreaming presence then,” Hob chuckles, thinking of the dour and resolute leader of the Parliamentarians.

Dream considers this, tilting his head slightly in thought. “Yes,” he agrees eventually. “But his dreams were often tortured. Conflicted. His faith her never wavering but his part in executing the king was a source of struggle for him.” Dream paused for a second. “I realise I have never asked: were you a Parliamentarian, Hob?”

“Nah, loyalist through an’ through, me,” Hob says seriously, then grins at Dream’s expressively raised eyebrow. His friend could say a lot with an eyebrow. “Look, His Majesty’s men picked me up first, is all. A warm meal and a place to sleep? Crikey, I would have been anyone’s. Not like I cared much for the machinations of the elite at that time, or the finer points of the divine right of kings  verus parliament wanting its say an’ all that. It was all much of a muchness when you’re starving.” He hums thoughtfully the gestures back to the screen. “That Charlie though, the country was glad to see him back, I think. I saw his coronation procession, y’know? I had fallen into a bit of work at that time, even had a roof over my head! It felt hopeful, even to me. Didn’t last of course,” he says equably, “but for a moment, things looked brighter: I saw a king return and,.. I still believed in kings then.”

“And what was your impression of him?” Dream asks quietly, face still turned to the screen but attention all on Hob. “Of Charles?”

“Well, he was no Rufus Sewell, that’s for sure, but he certainly knew how to have fun.”

Get to Know the Blogger

The wonderful @serial-chillr tagged me for this and @cleverblackcat tagged me for a very similar thing some time ago (so I’m tagging you here, Cat, I hope that’s okay ^^). Thank you both!

Share your wallpaper: Going with my lockscreen wallpaper for this. Have a beautiful open star cluster located in NGC 3603 (HST image, credits NASA)

Last song you listened to: Don’t Pray For Me by Within Temptation. I like the handful of songs from this EP more than pretty much anything from their previous two albums, so I have high hopes for their new album! Especially this song hit hard the first time I heard it.

Currently reading: The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon and Feminisms: A Global History by Lucy Delap. I also have The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue lying around, because Bunny recommended it, but until I finish The Priory, I am only looking at that one

Last movie: Oh! I actually have an answer for this: Everything Everywhere All At Once. Went to the cinema for the first time in years and I enjoyed it a lot.

Last show: The BBC adaptation of His Dark Materials. Despite knowing how it would end, I ended up sobbing just as much as when I first read the books as a 14 year old.

Craving:  Writing inspiration and motivation

What are you wearing right now: Sweatpants and a loose blouse with a paisley pattern. Look, I got groceries and did the laundry, the rest of the day is for relaxing, haha

How tall are you: 1.76 m

Piercings: Just one in each earlobe, does that count?

Tattoos: None :’(

Glasses? Contacts? Neither

Last drink: Chai latte :3

Current obsession: No surprise here, it’s TWC, mainly Yael and Nate. His Dark Materials is also very much on my mind again.

Any pets: No, but one day, we’ll get a cat

Favorite fictional character: Hmm, N Sewell from TWC is the first who comes to mind. Honourable mention to Dragon Age’s Isabela, though. (I promise I do read books, but being in a fandom and thinking/reading/writing about characters for an extended period makes me appreciate them more, I guess?)

The last place you traveled: Munich, so not that far, still in Germany. Not for vacation, but I did visit a very nice exhibition on Gustav Klimt.

Tagging with no pressure at all to do this: @ejunkiet, @evilbunnyking, @grapecaseschoices, @griffin-wood, @plasticdodecagon​

If anyone else feels like doing this, consider yourself tagged as well ^^ I always like to get to know people, but find it hard to predict who might be interested in doing these things

this is the n sewell post, absolutely perfect. 10/10, no notes

and now i am thinking about your last point, especially, about the auction scene, and rebecca- what she knows about n, may have tied it to their emotional closeness, and what they’re capable of with their tier x powers

Re-read this ask while looking for something mostly unrelated and I am once again thinking about N's healing abilities as being rooted not in their having been particularly healthy/physically resilient when they were human (because of course, they weren't really) but rather in their capacity for emotional resilience*/some degree of concomitant distress tolerance.

*I mean "emotional resilience" in the broadest sense, encompassing cognitive and psychological resilience within the term. Basically, their resistance to psychic damage is high (which, assuming I'm correct, ALSO makes me very curious as to how the MC would be as a vampire, given what we know of their capabilities/the effects of their blood so far!)

Specifically, I'm thinking of this emotional resilience in three domains:

their selflessness;

their reliance on masking/their own self-control; and

their overall distress tolerance (obviously particularly in their route)

(below the cut because I already know I'm going to ramble 🤪)

N tends to prioritize the needs/wants of others, even when it's to their own detriment. This selflessness is a form of emotional resilience that allows N to be an anchor for others, often at some level of personal cost. Their deep empathy and willingness to put others first mean that they are constantly focused outward, which might also explain why they are often perceived as composed under extreme pressure, even though we know that N is not actually great in a crisis when it involves making quick decisions. The obvious example of this is during the patrol scene in B1, where their response underscores how willing they are to suffer on someone else's behalf: they literally make themselves bleed as a distraction, highlighting their general mindset and hinting at a broader behavioral pattern (I'm looking at you, B3 Auction Scene).

Their emotional resilience also manifests in their ability to mask their feelings. N’s composure isn’t just about staying calm; it’s a way to shield both themselves and others. They present as steady and strong, but there’s an undeniable depth of feeling beneath the surface. N is often perceived as unflappable, but we know they struggle internally, especially when it comes to vulnerability. They crave deep connection but fear the consequences of fully opening up. This is especially true in their relationship with the MC, where N’s desire to protect clashes with their inability to allow themselves to be completely vulnerable. This is, obviously, super evident throughout B3; lines such as "What if I become the villain in their story?" emphasize how deeply N is affected by their fear of losing control, and how terrified they are of becoming a danger to the people they love. Unfortunately, it's exactly this fear that keeps them from allowing true intimacy, even as they crave that connection. By maintaining a composed exterior, N provides stability to those around them, but it also isolates them. Which brings me to...

Their distress tolerance. This is particularly interesting in the context of romantic relationships (i.e., the ways in which some of their behaviors are markedly different — often but not exclusively with the MC — depending on whether you're romancing them or not). In non-romantic routes, N maintains a level-headed demeanor, focusing on the mission and ensuring everyone’s safety. However, in their romantic route, their actions show a heightened sensitivity and emotional investment, sometimes bordering on recklessness when the MC is in danger. The more emotionally attached they become, the more their distress tolerance is tested, which in turn challenges their control—a key aspect of their healing ability. The balance they maintain between control and compassion is delicate, and their bond with the MC is what often tips that balance.

All of which is even more interesting when considering their ~mysterious Tier X power~. While I don't think N’s emotional regulation is directly tied to their healing abilities in a straightforward/literal sense, it seems fairly obvious at this point that a more direct correlation exists between their emotional state and their Tier X ability. There are a lot of examples of this, but one I haven't stopped thinking about is UB's obvious concern about N's potential reaction if you choose the "I think [Li-Sar] tried to kill me" option in the latest demo, which seems pretty clearly related to this deeper, possibly more volatile side of N's abilities. This ties back to N's fear of losing control, especially in situations where their emotions are running high. The concern from the rest of Unit Bravo suggests that even those closest to N are wary of the potential consequences if N's emotional stability falters, particularly in the context of their hidden Tier X abilities.

[agentnatesewell]

Reading this again but now knowing that human!A did believe in this kind of love, fairy tale all encompassing love that N is experiencing and struggling with at the moment

And just how sage A’s advice really is, perhaps having lived through it. Knowing what love means and can do (all types of love, not just romantic)

"RAFFLING FURNITURE TO PAY DEBTS, WRONG," Toronto Star. February 6, 1934. Page 36. --- Hard-Up Offender and Man Who Printed Tickets Get Warning ---- "I'm not going to make an example of the first one, but let all printers take notice of this and stop printing these sort of things," said Magistrate Jones in police court to- day as he withdrew a charge of printing lottery tickets against Harry Edwards. "I think that the one who prints the tickets should be prosecuted just as much as the one who runs the lottery," his worship observed.

Edwards was charged with printing draw tickets for Richard Armstrong. Evidence that he had done so was produced.

On a charge of conducting a lottery, Armstrong was remanded for sentence.

"Armstrong is married and has two children. He was raffling off his furniture to pay his debts," said an officer. He had 1,200 tickets printed and they were to be sold at 25 cents each. None had been sold."

Got Meals For Nothing Obtaining $2 by fraud from Wm. Symonds, resulted in John Brooks being sent to jail for three months. "He said he worked for a certain firm, and on the strength of the cheque he was going to get, he would go to boarding houses and get a meal," said Detective Johns. "He would say he wanted board and lodging, but he would have supper and not return.

"Guilty," pleaded Fred B. Jeffries, charged with the theft of a bicycle. "I sold it." he admitted, "but I don't know to whom." He had a long list of previous theft convictions.

"We will make it three to twelve months this time." said the magistrate.

No Funds For Cheque M. Sherman was charged with obtaining goods to the value of $11 from a department store by false pretences. He was remanded a week in custody.

"He gave us a cheque for goods," said a store detective. "We sent it to the bank and found there was no account."

"We will need another two months for this case," said Crown Attorney C. L. Snyder, referring to Percy Laurence, charged with criminal negligence. Accused was remanded until April 6 on $2,000 bail. Complainant. It was brought out, was in a plaster cast as a result of his Injuries.

Found Betting Slips "I entered a butcher store on Yonge St. last Thursday," said an officer. "I found a number of bet- ting slips. McKechnie said he had never made a bet in his life."

"He meant he had never held a bet in his life," said Austin Ross, counsel for Robert McKechnie, charged with recording bets or wagers. "Some friends came in and he placed bets for them. He never got any commission; all he got was this trouble."

"Well, how did the police come to go there?" queried the bench. "That's the milk in the cocoanut the n*gger in the woodpile," replied counsel.

"Well, it is the first butcher I have had," observed the magistrate. "so I will fine him $10."

Alleged to have struck Fong Soon over the head with a metal pipe, Fong Foo Hung, 44. Queen St.. was charged with wounding and was remanded until February 13.

Given Time to Settle Charged with theft of about $101 from B. L. Anderson Co., Robert Bowden was remanded until Feb. 13. "He collected insurance premiums and failed to turn in the proceeds," stated a company official.

Accused was given the week to make restitution.

Cute, Says Crown Attorney "I think that the steamship company are to blame for bringing such men here, especially during these times," said W. G. Sewell, counsel for Stanislaw Gwizd and Adam Forgat, charged with obtaining relief by fraud. "We can blame most of the trouble to their ignorance. They have a very low mentality."

"I think that is your best argument." remarked the magistrate. "I'll make it 30 days instead of the usual 90."

"I am not so sure about their low mentality." said the crown attorney. "These foreigners are about the cutest people there are." The charge was that Gwizd had a regular job and was also registered for relief, and also city relief work. Unable to leave his job, he gave Forgat his identification cards and car, and Forgat, acting as Gwizd, got the relief. The proceeds being split.

Sniffed Policemen "I smelled whiskey on the officer's breath, and when they took me to the station they beat me up." claimed Joseph Brett, an alleged "vag," in early court to-day. Brett was picked up by P.C. Ramsay and P.C. Stillwell last night at 8 o'clock on Castlefield Ave. His home, he said, was on York St.

"He was wandering aimlessly back and forth, peering into parked cars." testified an officer. "He said he was on his way to see a man on Strathailan Blvd. about a job, but he was going in the opposite direction."

"I haven't had a steady job for years," said Brett.

"Where did you get the money in your pocket?" queried Inspector Guthrie. "It was money I loaned to friends and that they were paying back to me."

"What, in nickels and dimes?" asked the inspector. "They weren't all nickels and dimes; I had a quarter." Brett protested. He was fined $10 or 10 days by Magistrate Tinker.

Stole While Begging John Hall, convicted of vagrancy, was sent to jail for 30 days. "I was watching him at Dufferin St. and St. Clair." said P.C. Gardiner. "I saw him stop a man and attempt to sell him there." producing a pair of candlesticks. I found that he had stolen them from J. Bradbury." "He came into my store and asked for a quarter," said Bradbury. "Then he lifted those articles."

John Thompson, caught "pan-handling" in a big hotel, was fined $10 or 10 days. "I had a license to peddle there," he said. "Only I forgot to take my goods."

Marshall, crown counsel, when Anthony Lanni was arraigned in liquor and traffic court on a charge of having liquor in an illegal place. Magistrate Browne withdrew the charge. "Watch your step," Mr. Marshall cautioned Lanni.

The court accepted a plea of guilty of "having" from Doris LaFrance, jointly charged with Mike Kornuta. They were alleged to have kept liquor for sale at 68 Pearl St. Kornuta was discharged.

Mr. Marshall explained that to prove a charge of keeping for sale he would be forced to cal a witness previously disapproved by Magistrate Browne, "Under these circumstances. I will be content with a plea of guilty to having," he stated.

Officers swore they found 17 quarts of beer and three part bottles of whiskey. Since January the permits seized by police revealed purchases of 228 bottles of beer and 27 quarts of spirits. Doris LaFrance was fined $100 and costs.

Hotel Owner Fined Mary Allan was assessed $200 and costs or three months for having liquor illegally in a Queen St. E. hotel. Her husband was discharged.

Police visited the hotel, which accused owns, and found a quantity of beer that had not been purchased on their permit.

[grapecaseschoices]

1 and 3 for the fanfic questions?

Really good OC a writer has come up with

I had read this wrong and thought this was supposed to be me goiing to reblogger's inbox and doing tthis, haha. Whoops.

How do I pick ONE oc, from ONE writer? LMAO.

Okay, I'm going to random generate this. LMAO.

Generator picked @ava-du-mortain. And Pap's ocs, I really like monster-fucker science babe Anya and sweet but strong Ari.

Hope to see more of them in the future!

3. Headcanon you've adopted from a writer

I don't even fucking know. But I will say any of my N Sewell understandings probably come from @agentnatesewell, @wayhavenots, @nat-seal-well, @dumortains, and @ava-du-mortain

If they were to tell me a concept of theirs re: Nat/e was canon I'd believe them. I feel they all ... shine a spotlight on a character I don't particularly know that well and don't fully understand. And though I do have my view of N [which is probably more unfavorable then theirs lmao], I won't lie and say that their knowledge isn't insightful. Pearl and Pap especially have helped me re: writing/mentioning N in fic and edits. So I'm grateful for it. And it's fun to read their metas/see what they like about the character.

I've just been reading the tags and thank you for all the replies, it's a pleasure to see how everyone chose their petname!

Not surprised "Love" is the most popular option from the default ones though👀

And so many of you choosing to call N "My life" (in different languages) is just beautiful ❤️

[her-devils-advocate]

I'm currently really struggling with motivation to read through the books or to continue developing Val, which sucks since I adore wayhaven so much, but my mood recently has been fairly unstable. Which also makes it hard for me to focus and write, especially when it makes me hate everything I create during those moments.

Wayhaven went from being my comfort material to me not wanting to "ruin" that through associating the negative moments with it now

Where's my N Sewell comfort when I need it!

[masashiroll]

some gems i found while replaying the demo that make me love bff N that much more

[agentnatesewell]

It’s canon that unit bravo actually growls so I don’t see why they couldn’t purr (the whole Mason/Morgan purposely making animalistic noises as a sexual tactic comes to mind)

Oh, I totally agree!! I imagine there’s a whole lot of non-word sounds that are made in certain situations.

Edit: Really, I would love to see this from them in a more comfort, comfort-comfort, quiet moment, hurt-comfort situation. @/aztarion made some really good points and observations. Especially as these relationships grow!

Had to go through my screenshots to see what I’ve saved in terms of UB + purring (though these are spoken rather than unspoken, are in more - intimate - situations - and still fun to reminisce on)

Putting behind cut as these are rather long!
