I had a big need for a fandom butterfly/moth display. Updated with an ID: Art drawn to look like a Fictional Moth/Butterfly display case based on 4 characters from The Magnus Archives on a 8.5x11" print. Big bug center top is labeled as "J. Sims": big green Luna Moth with multiple prominent eyes a bit like an Emperor Moth's markings, and holes in the wings that mimic the holes in a cassette tape. There's an eye on the mid of its body. The markings are more fantastical than the other bugs.
Labeled "M. Blackwood": Silver Clouded moth, smaller, to the right of J. Sims, with a cloudy looking pattern in greys on the wings, and two small dots.
Labeled "N. Sasha": Center-left. A blue butterfly but with markings that look like eyes and possibly claws extending across the top pair of wings. The wings are lined with black and white markings that resemble piano-keys. The lower pair of wings have golden markings that is supposed to resemble calliope pipes.
Labeled "Tim": Takes up the lower right side. A Mourning Cloak butterfly but with orange markings inside the wings that resemble flames. Mainly red wings lined with black then yellow edges, with blue spots across the black.
They are on a board with a spider web stretched across underneath them. The black tape of a cassette tape ribbons around the board in loose loops.

why do people think Yevgeny wasn't Mickey's son? in 3x06 there was clearly no condom used (not that Terry probably would have let Svetlana stop to get one), but there's no reason to think she wasn't using condoms with her regular clients. it's not Svetlana's fault that she was a tool used to rape Mickey—the sole blame for everything that happens in that entire situation belongs to Terry Milkovich and him alone—so why does it feel like it's just another way for people to shit on Svetlana for something that wasn't in her control? it's not as though she'd asked to get pregnant in the first place...
#stop giving svetlana shit just because terry was one of her clients—between him and sasha do you really think she had a chance to say no?#her attitude towards mickey is s4 is very easy to understand when you think about the fact that a) she's his age or maybe a year older#b) she is a person who knows she has to take what life gives her and make the best of bad situations#c) her entire future rests (so she thinks) on her and mickey making their marriage work and he was absorbed in ian (which the audience gets#but svet has no context for) and thus her feeling threatened is very understandable because mickey also won't stand up to his father#so yeah of course svet is gonna see terry as the one person who will put things the way they're supposed to be#but! it's after mickey comes out and he and ian fight everyone in the bar that she realizes mickey could be an ally to her#and she extends a hand in friendship because they're both stuck in this situation and yeah of course she wants him to stop being stupid#about yev—as she puts it “baby did not choose this either” which leads me to think she understands mickey's situation a little better now#but yev looks so much like mickey and has those big blue eyes of his (also evidence for baby mickey being blond)#I get that the whole child from rape thing isn't fun for mickey to have to deal with but women have to go through it all the time—like Svet#okay rant over I'm sorry I'm just...it puts a bad taste in my mouth whenever I see it in fic or meta that yev can't *possibly* be mickey's#mickey milkovich#svetlana yevgenivna#yevgeny milkovich#shameless

Cosplay year in review (plus more)
2023 has been quite the year for me. I turned 25, moved away from the only city I've ever lived in, started university, and adopted a cat. I dealt with several personal issues and health problems. So much in my life changed this year - but what remained constant was my love of cosplay.
I added two new cats to my cosplay roster (Demeter and Mungojerrie), plus song pieces for Rumpleteazer. (I also started a non-Cats cosplay, Katherine Howard from Six the Musical.) I learned how to knit warmers and make fluffy tails for Cats cosplays, and even got to do a few commissions and trades! I did a presentation for school in cosplay, and started a cosplay-centric Instagram account.
Cosplay is not a cheap or easy hobby. It is very expensive and takes a lot out of me. There are times when I consider giving it up, but the joy it brings me and the support I get keeps me going. Thank you all.
I plan to add two more cats to my roster in 2024: Mexico Rumple (already halfway there!) and freestyle feral kitten Bomba. I'd also like to get song pieces for Mungo and maybe a replica Deme wig if possible! I'll be revamping my commission info as well, so if you're looking for warmers and/or fluffy tails I hope you'll keep me in mind.
So, in classic year in review fashion, some highlights!
My top 5 most popular cosplay posts this year: 1 2 3 4 5
My top 10 personal favourite pics this year:

Shoes, makeup, belled collar, Demeter arm warmers, Mungo warmers and tail by me; spikey collars by jelliclecatscorner on Instagram; everything else by @pixiedustjellicle
Thank you so much for this year, and I hope you're looking forward to 2024!!

Just imagine Anne, Marcy, and Sasha going back to school after all that.
I know I bring up this concept with every group of isekai-ed children but, like.
Dodgeball.
Imagine the hell of dodgeball.
Madame Generals Waybright and Boonchuy casually taking command as if this is an Actual Army, giving good team ideas (that make students concerned they're being studied).
Sasha Waybright starting every match by slapping a ball against the palm of her hand and, as is Toad fashion, proclaims, "What a GREAT way to go!" as an intimidation tactic. It usually works.
Anne Boonchuy refuses to throw a ball. She tried, once, but everyone scattered, and she had to reflect on the fact that everyone kinda-sorta saw her dismember a man that one time. Now she just casually steps in and catches them. She never seems to break a sweat.
Kids try to target Wu. Wu, the nerd. Wu, who likes to play Switch over sports. Marcy, now a ranger, who has gotten really good at dodging and Sudden Snipe Shots.
By the end of gym class all three girls are basically feral and everyone is terrified.

Hi! I’m here suffering from lack of good Archivist!Sasha content as well 😭 On that note, do you have any fic on that topic you would recommend? Or just good Sasha fics in general, (or Jonsasha, if that’s your cup of tea)? Thank you in advance 😊
Tragically, I think there is a general dearth of good Archivist!Sasha content (and just about none of it Jonsasha content, as far as I can tell (and not only is Jonsasha my cup of tea, but the ONLY thing standing between it and the #1 OTP spot (currently occupied by JE) is the fact that the Jonsasha that I desperately crave exists in my brain and nowhere else)). Admittedly, I haven't looked very far into her tag yet (I should rectify that at some point tbh) but I've dug around the Jonsasha tag when I first got into it, and I know at least one fic where Sasha drifts towards Beholding through an interest in office gossip.
In terms of Jonsasha Ao3 has:
This very good Sasha lives fic where Jon shows up to Georgie's with an unconscious Sasha and everyone involved is very confused.
These two fics are cute also. The former is by @/suttttton and is them getting together, the latter is established Jonsasha from @/dickwheelie.
Eyevatar Sasha might actually be thinner on the ground (outside of fix-its where she solves everything and her canon reckless curiosity is completely ignored). Ao3 has:
This fic, which is Jongerry with outsider PoV Sasha. Just barely has the implication that she might be shifting towards the Eye (via prying into the lives of her coworkers) but gets a mention through sheer force of Excellent Sasha Characterization. I read this and I feel like I'm reading a fic from a Sasha Understander.
There's also this fic, which looks very promising but which I haven't actually gotten the chance to read yet, so I can't speak to its quality.
Unfortunately I've only gotten into Sasha fairly recently (especially as compared to Jon, who my brain latched onto in a deathgrip from the start), so I haven't gone through her tag yet. A scroll through the Archivist!Sasha or Beholding Avatar!Sasha tags pulls up a lot of fix-it and J//mart, which isn't really what I'm looking for from the concept. I'm sure there's more out there, and if/when I find them I'll come back to this ask probably, but I lucked into Reverse Nighthawks (I was on a Jongerry kick).
But god every day I wish that I could write romance and/or longfic, because about a year ago I read a Jonmichael fic that, when discussing alternate universes (where Jon ended the world) it's revealed that he once did an apocalypse out of love for his Archivist, Sasha James. And it was one (1) single line, but it struck me so hard because god. A perfect concept I think. The potential dynamics of Archivist!Sasha/Assistant!Jon are enthralling to me. Jon destroying the world (or helping her destroy the world? Cute date night I think: bringing about armageddon with your eldritch monster partner) for Sasha... anyway mostly I mentioned that one because My God if I have to live with that tantalizing AU rotating in the background of my mind 24/7 so do the rest of you.
#also I'm very sorry how much this was About Jon#I really /do/ love sasha it's just that jon lives in my brain literally all the time#I am incapable of making a single solitary tma post that is not like 50% about him#not a Single One#every character and relationship and dynamic must somehow include jon to interest me. I struggle to care about jon-less anythings#it's a Problem#anyway I really really love sasha and want to write her one day but I need to finish my JE stuff first#the thing is the sasha in my brain is in zero other places#I extrapolated some stuff from canon to create a Blorbo but I don't think many other people interpret her the same way#I have some sasha and jonsasha stuff lying around somewhere but the gist is that I think sasha should become a morally questionable eyevata#who feeds the eye by invading people's privacy ''accidentally.'' based on her actions in the s1 finale she's probably a good person usually#but is reckless when protecting those she cares about and ESPECIALLY when curious and I want her to be a lil freaky with it#too tired to string my sasha thoughts together properly but they're mostly about how she should have a fun corruption arc#I want her to end the world in s3. I want her to have extremely difficult and complicated feelings about leaving the institute. about being#an eyevatar also. I think she didn't get enough screentime to say a lot for certain but she has enough interesting and complex things in he#brain that she could offer an interesting perspective if she survived or was the archivist. I also think she and martin should've switched#places. sorry martinlikers but she had more stuff going for her and also her perspective would be unique and interesting instead of yet#another 'the Eye is Bad.' that's actually the jonsasha thing I like the most. reading her statement and there's so many parallels between#her and jon. I think they'd compliment each other in a way literally no other jonship could manage#anyway sorting tags#jonsasha#asks#thank you for the ask btw!! I am. VERY. passionate about this subject. sasha has so much potential and stuff going for her but I get so#bitter because nobody is willing to engage with the stuff I find most interesting about her. probably another reason it took me as long as#it did to get Attached to her. I spent too much time with fanon sasha who's had the potential and complexity and points of interest#stripped away so that she can fix the world for jm to get together which is so much more boring than whatever the hell was wrong with her#(affectionate) (I like my characters a lil weird and fucked up. a lot weird and fucked up even)#ok veryvery tired need to stop rambling and think about sasha some more.#oh wait one more thought actually she's autistic and trans (projecting but also. like. tell me i'm wrong) thank you and goodnight

my brain is very gone. i cannot read questions but i wanna participate. what’s your fav kind of tea? how do you take your tea?
ooh i love a lot of types of tea so i could never pick a single favorite. i'd say for a single (though often large) cup of hot tea my preference is usually for something strong and fruity. i like herbal blends with hibiscus, peaflower, rosehip etc and/or dried fruit pieces, although this year i've really been enjoying a couple of fruity white or green tea/herbal blends. i love these hot and either unsweetened or with just a drop of honey. this is also usually what i take in my thermal mug to campus bc it doesn't easily suffer from overbrewing so i can brew it in the morning at 9am and have a still-hot cup of tea to drink in rehearsal at 6pm. although occasionally i'll take something black to drink as a single cup; my preference is usually for something strong and spiced, with a bit of cream and lightly sweetened. but if i'm sitting down for an hour or two and enjoying a whole pot of tea, i'm usually drinking either one of the fruit/tea blends or i'm drinking an oolong, no sweetener. i have this WONDERFUL oolong in my cabinet right now from a regional teashop i love that's scented with grape and blackberry and it's got the most well rounded, juicy body to it -- if i had to pick a single favorite it might be that but it's expensive and small batch so i try to save it for when i can really sit down and enjoy it.
as for iced teas: love a cold fruity or hibiscus tea, barely sweet; black tea, strong and lightly sweet, especially with milk (a la boba shop milk tea or chai latte); LOVE an arnold palmer (half unsweet tea/half lemonade); and whatever the hell they put in diet snapple, i could go through cases of that shit all by myself in no time flat.
basically the only teas i don't really like are anything minty, chamomile, and plain green teas and matcha. although i'm recently becoming a convert to the joys of jasmine tea. besides it just tasting good what i love about tea is that there's just So Much out there that there's always something new to try and fall in love with

Wilde goes in missions carefully, green dress hidden behind a soft cape. Azus always goes in front of her, knife in hand ready to protect his big sister. He almost lost her once twice in his head he is not going to lose her again.
And Wilde let's him, because Azus is fast and he is good with a knife but he is small and fragile and better assisting than actually fighting and he might think he is protecting her but actually she is the one watching his back.
They bicker the whole way and will denny any affection behind the act.
In the shadows Riz watches them, less concerned that his younger siblings won't be abble to do it and more concerned about the mess they will cause. Or that's what he says. He trusts them more and more at every adventure. But he is the big brother and it's better to be sure.
Amidas goes with Riz, he complains about authoritative figures and acts as if he doesn't care, he says he is mostly just using them to check for possible fights against some random authoritarian. It's true. Riz thinks Amidas is doing that cause he worries about the younger ones as much as Riz himself does and just doesn't want to say it cause it doesn't fit his rebel aesthetic. It's true. But there's other reason he does it, he wants to make sure Riz isn't going to get lost in his head or worry to much and get hurt instead. He knows Riz is watching his back, all of their backs, he is retorning the favor.
Deep in the shadows Sasha follows them. She knows they are big enough to do it by themselfs and so she doesn't interfere but she watches because she lost people before and she won't lose her kids. She is watching their backs. She knows soon enough she won't need to follow them anymore. It doesn't bother her as much as it makes her proud.

soooooo i don't have much new to post for wipweds this week so i thought i'd grab a little something from my archives! a ton more people were curious about The Raven and The Dove than i expected, so here's a little excerpt from my amphibia school for good and evil au! in which marcy learns a tiny bit of archery and sasha has some Feelings about it 💗💚
#i was so taken by this scene in the movie that it was literally the first thing i wrote for this au. head in my hands gay people real <3#the sasharcy in this. very self-indulgent very off the charts. the sashanne and marcanne too but that is not the focus here lmao#anyway. hiiiiiii amphibia fandom i am not like. super dead dndads has just had a very sudden and firm grasp on my heart as of late hsbfkahv#also there's a brief glimpse at sasha's backstory here. it really sucks when you're meant to be the paragon of all that is good and pure#and you have the eyes of an entire realm on you at all times. and you keep pushing the envelope of what's proper#i.e. not wearing the frilly dresses all of the time taking up fighting etc. this would already be hard enough if you were a regular student#but you aren't that. everyone is watching you and has Expectations for you and you know what you want but you can't let yourself have it#so you just repress things so hard. cling to whatever you can get away with and try your very best to excel at everything they let you have#and then in come marcy and anne and you've never seen two people less concerned with The Rules. their existence itself flips the script#and you have NO idea what to do about that! other than panic internally ofc <3#anywho. sorry the sasha bias really came through with this one i just think her pov in this would be so inch resting#okok i'm done now i promise#cartoons#amphibia#sasharcy#happi scribbles#happi rambles#also. if ppl like this please do lmk bc while i doubt i'll finish this i do have a few more disjointed bits i could post up for y'all <3#tartd au

GOOD AFTERNOON MUTUAL I NOTICED YOU OC POSTING IN MY NOTES DO YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT OCS. OK BYE
Tumblr media
LOVE THE MEME
ok. idk if u mean, type out a post or just one-on-one? but im gonna type out this post and you can tell me about ur ocs whatever way you'd like :3
my ocs don't really have a comprehensive story. at all. like there's no beginning -> middle -> end because i have a lot of important characters that have important things happen to them at different times. for instance, two people end up in a different realm and end up starting a family there, sometime in the 1920s or 30s. then there's the entire saga of one of the descendants getting kidnapped and taken to a different realm, and how he grew up, and how the unluckiness of his family followed him. THEN, there's the story of a cult in the pacific northwest. so like???
anyway, here's some worldbuilding basics and some character info.
(this is long. my bad)
world building:
There's three main "realities" or "dimensions." They're called Pladim, Edgirst, and Atryss. Pladim was the first created, then Edgirst split from it, then Atryss split from Edgirst.
There's also places called liminaries, which... are just the backrooms in a different font. not the original backrooms, not the fandomized backrooms, but a Secret Third Thing (that is also a secret to me). People can end up in these, and get out of them, but not like in the backrooms lore. anyway,
Pladim is the normal world, as we know it. However, the supernatural is a lot more accepted as something that's probably true. Evidence for the supernatural is more substantial and common than it is IRL. if you said "i'm haunted," 100% seriously, most people would go "yeah, probably, go burn some sage" instead of "that's not real/there's a different explanation."
Atryss is the afterlife. Kind of. It's complicated. It's not heaven, or hell, or an underworld, or anything. It's a void. There are living creatures here, but they're nowhere near human. They're like deep-sea creatures. They feed on the spirits of the dead. Ever since the development of religions, it's been a little more complicated; if a group of people believes in something enough, it will become true. That's how we got gods. That's how we got an afterlife. But, then everyone decided the afterlife should be different, and you were judged based on whether or not you were a good person. That's hard to arrange. Eventually, a warden, The Watchman, came into being. It made a system and enforces it. Basically: those that believe in reincarnation get reincarnated. It's easier to recycle a human, anyway. Those that believe in a "heaven" or "hell" or any other sort of interactive afterlife experience these through "dreams." The body is dead but the mind is still going, in a sense. (Except all people in Atryss are husks, like cicada shells). These people sorted by The Watchman, who has a completely arbitrary set of rules that change frequently. Sometimes he'll throw people who are usually in Heaven into Hell for a couple of minutes, just for fun. The catch is, the beings in his realm need to feed, but it's harder to feed on humans still dreaming. The indomitable human spirit, and all that. People are more "solid" in Atryss when they are remembered in either Pladim or Edgirst. So, once they're mostly forgotten, they get eaten ^_^
Edgirst is the "middle ground." Edgirst is a fantasy reality and sometimes acts as a place between life and death. There's magic and creepy little creatures and deities. Edgirst is where most deities live, actually. Deities rule over ordinary things most beings experience/know of: love, water, luck, pick-pocketing, fear, etc. The deities are strongest in Edgirst because that's their home, but Edgirst and Pladim are actually very close together, or "blended," in a sense. Edgirst is the same size as Earth but does not extend beyond that; for example, the sky in Edgirst is a net and catches those that fly too high. The realities can "blend" in certain points that seem to be unconnected (note: i have a couple ideas for the connection but haven't decided on one). Deities aren't the only things that live in Edgirst: angels, demons, humans, vampires, animal-human hybrids, demigods, etc etc etc all live in Edgirst as well. They can all live in Pladim, as well, but it's much easier to survive unnoticed in Edgirst than it is in Pladim.
wow ok that's a lot! now let's look at some places
point savaford, colorado: where most of the important characters that are in Pladim reside. it's not particularly noteworthy within itself
yarwood: haven't decided on a location, except that it's in the northeast USA. where other important characters live
oregon/washington border: entrance to Edgirst that is commonly used
middle of nowhere, Texas: entrance to liminaries that is commonly used.
unnamed research institute in New Orleans, Lousiana: supernatural research institute. don't look at me it's not tma i prommy
MY FAVORITE PART. CHARACTERS. (for the sake of time, i'm going with my Main 4 that i mention all the time)
arthur murphy (he/any): most cringefail loser ever. his special interest is fnaf and he dresses in pseudo-victorian gothic clothes daily. he's popular on tiktok, both for cosplaying and for being haunted. she gets haunted so much because she has no impulse control and loves buying things from antique stores and flea markets. she has a collection of dolls. their most haunted one rn has a ghost attached to it that likes to leave blood and guts on his pillow! instead of getting rid of it, he started being very nice to it so that he wouldn't get killed. and it worked! they're besties now. arthur lives in point savaford, but used to live in arizona with his mom. he moved to Colorado to live with his sister after his mom died. Also his dad is the god of thievery, lies, gambling, trickery, etc etc etc.
gwen shrapner (she/her): gwen has a long, convoluted story that she does NOT want anyone to know about. she was born in oklahoma, but moved around a bit, and now she lives in yarwood. she lives with her dad. she used to live with her dad, mom, and two brothers. long story short, her older brother got possessed (not rlly "possessed" but let's roll w/ it) and killed gwen's mom and younger brother. has been online friends with arthur for several years. arthur is the only person besides family that knows her before her brother started killing ppl. she's started developing a new life in yarwood, and even made some friends C: and also she has light powers but doesn't know it yet.
quick intermission! an explanation of the salinas family:
the salinases are a family that live in Edgirst. remember the two ppl who ended up in Edgirst in the ~1930s and decided to just start a family there? yeah, that's these guys.
family tree: carla + santiago had two kids, francisca and vicente. francisca and her husband Gilberto had two daughters, Catalina and Josefina. Vicente and his wife Diana had three sons: Martín, then a set of twins, Diego and Carlos.
remember that guy that got kidnapped and taken to a different realm as a kid? that's carlos. he was raised as william in a town in Texas. and he is also gwen's dad.
the Salinases have superpowers. i keep changing the reason why. it's a hereditary thing, i guess.
oh btw, more family! catalina and amos (her husband) had a daughter, paulina. amos already had a son, wilbur, before he married catalina. all four of them got killed by the cult amos was raised in
josefina was in a lesbian polycule and ended up having a son, who i named jasper, but i want to change it lol
martín had two children with his wife, matilda: laura and marco (who used to be named mike). martín got driven to insanity thru supernatural means (and a little bit possessed?) and killed himself. matilda also got driven to insanity thru supernatural means and killed laura and maybe herself.
diego has no kids. that he knows of
william/carlos married mallory and had three kids: connor, gwen, and christopher. i already mentioned all of that mess up above.
anyway,
more characters:
leylo gromit:
actually no i have to explain another fucked up family first
the wright family (and the cult of the bloodless flesh) (TRIGGER WARNING FOR, YOU KNOW, CULT STUFF. AND SUICIDE. AND SEX. AND CHILD DEATH. AND GORE/PAINFUL DEATHS. skip to the next section if you do not want that!)
the cult mostly lived in a commune/town, although there were some undercover "scouts" that lived other places. they lived on the oregon/washington border.
note that "lived" is in past tense.
the cult started as a death cult. they needed a bunch of ppl who had pledged themselves to the god (who remains unknown at this time) to die painfully, usually by bleeding out (hence the cult name). when ppl didn't convert (BECAUSE WHY WOULD THEY), they just started repopulating like rabbits
THAT'S HOW WE GOT THE WRIGHT FAMILY.
there's three siblings: amos, jezebel, and a third guy i keep forgetting to name. he's not actually that important.
amos decided to hit da bricks. he had two kids, as previously mentioned.
unnamed guy has a lot of kids but kind of impossible to count?
sigh. jezebel had 11.
in order from oldest to youngest: Cecil Weaver (taken in my dad's family, not in the cult), Zachary Wright (re-named himself as Zachariah Schneider after escaping), Peter Wright (re-named himself as Peter Richardson after escaping), Minato Kishimoto (taken in by dad, not in cult), Rory Wright, Leylo Wright (re-named herself as Leylo Gromit after escaping), Oliver Wright, Hannah Wright (re-named himself as James Bellamy after escaping), Cynthia Wright, Molly-Mae Wright, and Cornelius Wright (later re-named Callum Smith by adoptive family, with Callum's help picking out the name).
four of these kids are dead: rory, oliver, cynthia, and molly-mae
the surviving kids survived because the goddess of insanity & unreality, Manea, was able to sense Something Being Amiss and decided to hijack a car about it.
she was in the car with her husband, Nicostratus (who is an angel and also runs a hospital/research facility), Nicostratus's brother Ornias (demon with a radio show), Nicostratus's and Ornias's sister, Opal (Secret Third Thing, full-time femme fatale), Oscar (family friend of the Salinases), and Marco (who's like, 17 at the time, and was taken in by Oscar).
they're all coming back from a day of fun when Manea climbs out of the back seat, takes the wheel, drives thru a chain-link fence and parks outside a house. and runs in. there's already a dead child up front and one in obvious shock, so they all get out of the car and go into the house (and one, Oscar, stays with the James outside). they all tell Mike to stay in the car. instead he goes into the cellar and saves leylo from a dog attack.
most of the other cult members were dead; but some survived their attempt and were jailed, some chickened out at the last moment and were (mostly) jailed, and some were innocent kids that survived.
fun plot twist: marco and zach were friends. the wrights weren't supposed to have contact with the outside world, but both marco and zach were hunting for food one day and met (on opposite sides of the fence). eventually, after several meetings, marco convinced zach to hop over and they hunted & foraged together. marco mostly gave the food he foraged to zach, since he didn't have as many mouths to feed, and his dad had a stable job. this was a really important part of zach realizing that his upbringing was fucked up and he and marco are still best buds.
anyway i think i can go back to characters again
OTHER TWO CHARACTERS THAT ARE PRETTY IMPORTANT/I'VE FLESHED OUT
leylo gromit (she/her): she was adopted by Oscar, along with Zach (James and Peter were adopted by other ppl that lived close to Oscar). changed her last name to gromit because her best friend had the last name wallace. so they're wallace and gromit :] she has dissociative identity disorder and one of her headmates fronted for ~2 years and started a new life in Georgia. his name is mike. he left without telling anyone and established a life across the country. so leylo wakes up one morning in an apartment she doesn't recognize, being served an eviction notice for an apartment she didn't know was hers, and then being called by a manager at a job she didn't know she had, and then texted by a girlfriend she does not know. she has a closet of clothes she doesn't recognize, including a work uniform, and a nametag for a fast-food chain with "MIKE" on it. so she goes into work (after awkwardly asking her manager where she works) and is greeted by taylor wallace, who is apparently her friend? and she mentions she's really confused, and also getting evicted, and he's like hey! i have a spare bedroom i'm trying to rent out. since you get along well with winter, why don't you move in? and leylo doesn't have a better idea and could totally overpower him physically if it came to it, so she agrees. and she's like "haha winter is probably a cat." no. it's a five year old child. but leylo DOES get along well with winter and it all works out. eventually she mentions that she wants to go by leylo and she/her (thankfully her name or gender marker was never changed). she just kinda ghosts the gf :( because how do you tell someone you've apparently dated for over a year "sorry idk you" ??? anyway, her friend from oregon/washington, milo, comes down to georgia one day on a road trip and, by chance, sees leylo in a walmart. they have a very heartfelt reunion that annoys the shit out of other walmart shoppers. and milo asks, "hey, why did you leave without saying goodbye?" and leylo finally tells people that she has no fucking clue how she got there. and then she gets a fun trip to the psychiatrist and gets diagnosed. and then she's like "hey, maybe i should text that person mike dated and like, let her know." so she does, and it ends decently well. she and jessica (the girl mike dated) remain friends. taylor gets a boyfriend, timothy (who is the son of manea and nicostratus but that's not important rn. yeah he was also kidnapped. it's fine dw about it). it all goes well until it doesn't! cult of the bloodless flesh starts acting up again. jessica dies, and taylor and tim get yeeted into separate liminaries. so leylo's now the legal guardian of, like, a 10 year old. they move to a duplex in colorado. later, arthur and his sister move into the other side of the duplex. also arthur's haunted doll is haunted by her sister btw
zach (he/him but doesn't care): adopted by Oscar, and gets to live with Marco and Leylo. he suffered a TBI after almost dying during The Sacrifice, which limits his daily functioning and working capabilities. he manages to mostly recuperate, though. Marco goes on a Sidequest to resurrect Manea, who was killed by her sister. yeah, gods can die, it's fine. anyway, when Marco comes back, Zach's still living with Oscar. tbh i have not figured out this timeline all the way, but Zach, Marco, Manea, and two others named Jackie and Indigo moved into a house together. The house is a large house, in Edgirst, near a pocket entrance thingy to Pladim. they have a pet creature named Chip. he's like the rake but not really.
i have more to talk about (gwen's family and friends, arthur's friends, silas van der zee, more about william and the salinases, etc.) but i've been working on this for over four hours or something. dawg i need to stop
