I JUST REMEMBERED THE MOST AUTISTIC THING I HAVE EVER DONE ok so in elementary school like fourth grade or smth my special interest was tornadoes. for a while literally the only thing i would watch on tv was stormchasers on the weather channel. so anyways before we texted we had gmail chats and my little icon profile picture thingy was a massive tornado. anyways so at recess one day i really wanted to explain the formation of a tornado through play i guess so i was like “ok friend so i will be the warm front and youll be the cold front and we will run at each other full speed and grab each other and spin really fast and that makes a tornado” and they were like “??????” so like. idk how i wasnt diagnosed with autism on the spot.
In all Honesty she'd never felt like she'd been run so ragged in her life then she had in the past few days. Between dealing with Neera, getting her living arrangements set up and figuring out how she was going to get back in time for this date. She just wanted to scream into a pillow! She didn't want to miss it though, and Gaia it was one of the few good things that had come into her life. She couldn't fuck this up! No she was gonna be there, she was gonna make it and she was gonna have a good time! All things she told herself as she got ready for her first date ever. She'd wanted to ask Carol for help but honestly the girl had so much on her plate right now let her worry about her job, she'd manage.
At least she'd found some decent clothes, a jacket and makeup? She'd struggled with it but damned if she didn't figure that shit out! thank Chaos for tutorial videos! nothing extravagant, nothing that she didn't feel was her. Just a tee shirt, a black hoodie, some baggy jeans with zippers on them and the make up was mostly just eye liner/shadow and lip stick. Just enough to make it look like she gave a damn and dolled herself up a bit.
She was just happy she had some of that green shit left over from Carol's gem, just enough to get her where she needed to go. Hopefully enough to get her home. She should probably tell Carol about the whole thing but she was busy and Kit was already looking into the cause and if it was a problem. Let the brains do there brainy thing, she'd make good use of it while she had it. She took a deep breath as she flipped her phone open and stood under the awning of a building and rubbed her thumb against it as her nerves built up. Why was she nervous? she was it was driving her nuts! He'd pick up, she knew he'd pick up! if he didn't she'd BEAT HIS ASS! no one stood Surge up!?!
" Here we go... either he likes me and picks up... or he doesn't and i go break his blimp--- either way i have a good time! "
She pressed the dial button and held her breath--- it was all on jet now!
tbh I think Star Flower had a more interesting setup with Thunder than w/ Clear Sky, both having complicated relationships with their fathers that form a major part of their characters & foil each other, with one having a dad who's supposedly a good guy but treats both Thunder and everyone else around him terribly leading to Thunder ditching him altogether vs. the other having a dad who's a vicious bandit but she cares about him to the point of denial about his unsavoriness
idk they just seem to have more potential together than... whatever the fuck Clear Sky/Star Flower have going on canonically?
thunder and lightning are yuri couple. idk why no one has said it yet (fro mmy searches). also thunder called lightning dear once and im not gonna check the subtitles to see if i heard it correctly
Randomly remembered the half-reason i call my oc-verse by the name it has while laying in bed. One-half of the reason i still knew, but I had forgotten what had truly, really cemented it jointly until now
(it was a song from my favourite band I haven't listened to in a while.)
(the song fit so well at the time, still does, that i needed to hold onto it for the main protagonists forever, by partially naming their story in reference.)
Does this explanation make any sense? Does anyone know why I'm tearing up remembering this. Aahh
so solace and corentin are siblings? were they separated? if one is with wyll who is the other with?
They are! Solace barely survived Corentin attacking the family when their dark urge awakened, and was taken in by the Temple of the Open Hand because their mother had been going there regularly and the priests had been helping Tin try to keep things under control. Solace was 10, Tin was 15, and they had a 13 year old sister who didn't make it.
Corentin doesn't remember the attack because of a mixture of trauma and purposeful efforts by the Bhaalists, and I don't think they ever truly get the memories of their family back. They put the prices together eventually, though. Solace remembers the attack vividly and was conscious enough to see the direct aftermath when Corentin came to. They're actually the reason she survived: Tin threw one of the many healing potions placed around their house at her and screamed out the window for help before the Butler dragged them away. It's...complicated for Solace and I don't think he'd ever be able to forgive them (which Corentin never expected or asked for), but eventually they're able to move around each other to some degree. They're also working on elf time so by the time they settle into that pattern and make their peace very few people who saw the very beginning of all of that post-game are alive, so the way they interact around each other instead of directly is kinda just accepted as the Way Things Are among the folks in the city who notice.
I haven't decided who Solace is gonna go for yet. I was thinking about Gale but I'm not sure; they might be a no-romance run, honestly. I've got active playthroughs for all of the romances but Gale and Minthara at the moment. Wyll would actually be a good fit for them I think, but I'm not sure if the "both siblings survive" timeline will be the canon one in my head since durge dies if you're not playing as them, and the idea of Solace finding Tin's body after fighting Orin is intriguing to me. I'm not going to touch their playthrough much until I've finished Corentin's and/or gotten further in Candor and Luka's first though, so I have time to decide lol
I love her more than my nonexistent firstborn child. She may not have two brain cells to rub together, she may be a ginger cat at heart if not in appearance, but she is the best thing to exist. It is undeniable. Bow down to her, she is your god now. Hail Nibbles, motherfuckers.
