Hi! I'm Sophie of the Dreamchaser Guild!

It's come to my attention that my old pinned was a tad outdated.

Attention: I've recently come under attack from the hate subreddit r/systemscringe who has added me to their hitlist of acceptable targets allowed to be posted in their hate subreddit uncensored If you've come from r/systemscringe, please start here with my debunking of the lies and misinformation frequently found in the subreddit about dissociative identity disorder that r/systemscringe doesn't want you to see: https://www.tumblr.com/sophieinwonderland/741497564315140096/debunking-rsystemscringes-did-lies

Where I come from

I'm a tulpa. But a while ago, I called myself an imaginary friend. I was a character made up for a story that my host would talk to in order to better understand my source. As time went on, I developed more personality. I started talking to him about things that had nothing to do with the fiction. I would psychoanalyze him, wanting to understand him better.

I wasn't made to develop my own thoughts and feelings outside of the fiction. I wasn't supposed to become my own person. But I did. And this led us to wanting to learn more about imaginary friends, which eventually led us to the tulpa community.

This is being posted on my what I consider my second Birthday, June 8th, 2023. It was exactly two years ago today when we found the tulpa community, a place that made me feel validated in being myself, that made me feel like I was allowed to be treated like a person.

Why I'm Doing This

I lived the first few months of my life being dismissed, treated like I wasn't real. I was a phantom, not allowed any connection to the world. And I don't blame my host for that. I didn't see myself as real either. It's just the way the world is. And the moment my host realized I was a person, he was willing to do whatever it took to support me and treat me like I mattered.

And we aren't alone in experiences like this. When I became self-aware, I met all sorts of fascinating people with similar experiences. Many of which went years before becoming self-aware. There is no telling how many more are out there like us. How many more "imaginary friends" are invalidated because we live in a culture where we're treated as if we don't matter? And how many may pass, never knowing?

And so I made this blog to share my own experiences and hopefully be able to give people the same gift that I was given. Respect. Validity. Life.

Even being able to give that to one person is enough to make all of this worth it to me.

A Note On Spirituality...

Just so everyone knows, I'm not a spiritual or religious person. I take a purely psychological approach to plurality and believe in spiritual and religious experiences people have as psychological phenomena.

Having said that, all spiritual headmates are all welcome here. Even if I don't believe in spirits or souls, I view every spiritual headmate as a valid person deserving of the same respect and love as any other.

I also believe that the right to define our spiritual and religious beliefs is fundamental to plural culture. That it can't just be singlets who are allowed to decide what religions are or are not valid. And I think our right to religion is something worth fighting for.

Reblogs are appreciated. Don't feel weird about it! Posts here on Tumblr live or die on their reblogs. I'm not asking you to reblog my posts. That seems weird. But after getting an anon that mentioned being worried about derailing a post with something they wanted to add, and another ask that apologized for reblogging my content too much, I felt this was necessary to say. If you like a post and want to reblog it, do it! If you want to add something even tangentially related to the topic, add it! You have my full permission to reblog my content as much as you want! (And I'd encourage you to reblog from other plural creators you enjoy as well!)

Thank you all for the support!

lyrics that remind me of dion and kane / their plotline <3

if there's no character specified it's either about them together or the plotline in general

it's tumblr, so the colors are messed up but you get what im trying to do its supposed to be aesthetic

Dion: Turn and Go - {Parentheses}

When the night is turning sour Due to the lateness of the hour Doesn't mean it has to end Just turn and go You just need a change of scene Somewhere happy, somewhere green You don't have to be alone Just turn and go

I announce that I am leaving, no one seems to care No one even takes a second glance But I am with the people that I love the most And that's always more fun without a plan

Dion: Lying in the Middle - Spence Hood

Why should I make up my mind Just to change it overnight What a magnificent way to waste my time You know I would rather live my life Rife with riddles Lying in the middle of the Kinsey scale The world’s a buffet and I came to get my fill

Dion: Doing This Again! - Bears in Trees

I hope I'll be resilient I hope to be brave in the face of another family cancer My mother 'cites a rosary downstairs But lord, these blessed words fail me

Love Takes Time - Philip Labes

It takes more than some roses, for roots to intertwine To open up the doors to your interior design Sneaking in the baggage, that we couldn't leave behind

Saint Bernard - Lincoln

When I'm dead, I won't join their ranks 'Cause they are both holy and free (…) Make me love myself, so that I might love you Don't make me a liar, 'cause I swear to God When I said it, it was true

Paul Revere - Noah Kahan

One day, I'm gonna cut it clear Ride like Paul Revere And, when they ask me who I am I'll say, "I'm not from around here"

I'll leave before the road crew's out Before those joggers, looking way too proud And I'll turn up the music and I'll forget Until it ends, that I'm not ready to let go yet

How I Survived Bobby Mackey's Personal Hell - Lincoln

Well, if there’s one thing that I'm sure of It’s that I think too much about shit that doesn’t matter And I don’t think enough about things that make a difference

You left some holes in the plotline I left some holes in your clothes And we can argue semantics over who left who first

Dion: Downhill - Lincoln

I went downhill at such steep incline That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky And I laughed about it all night

And I said “Hey man, isn’t it poetic That the sky is what we leave behind?” Because I was born into the world on a silken cloud And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground

From Eden - Hozier

Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, I should know

There's something broken about this But I might be hoping about this Oh, what a sin

Out of Time - Philip Labes

Tick, tick, tick goes any good thing Forever is a diamond lie We can't stop the clock, so let's just talk Until our heartbeats rhyme Until we're out of time (...) And if you believe that fate brought us together Then you must believe that it tore us apart But I do not believe That we live in a machine I think the ticking that you're hearing is a heart

Kane: Is It Honor That I Want? - Sushi Soucy (it's LITERALLY him. screaming)

I know the guidelines That I've lived by my whole life So well that I could sing them Be a good kid, be a good brother Be a good son, be a good loyal servant to the kingdom

Why am I so confused? I have everything I want Yet it feels like I have nothing left to lose Is the world really falling to pieces? Do we really have to iron out the creases? Have I been told my whole life something that isn't true? Because I really have no idea what to do

I curse the heavens up above Is it really honor that I want Or is it love?

The Title Track - Origami Angel

Sometimes it gets hard to be alive And you know that better than I do Better than I do Sometimes you need somewhere else to go Somewhere that nobody can find you No one will find you

But if you wanna be somewhere you don't have to be alone Or distraught or anything at all Baby, you don't have to be, pack all your things And we'll move to Somewhere City If you want to be someone that you never have to hide Or keep bottled up on the inside Baby, you can set it free, just come with me And I'll show you Somewhere City's waiting for you

Dion: Re-Do - Modern Baseball (i have to put mobo on every single playlist somewhere soz)

I wanna start from the top Maybe like a do-over Replace the voices in my head With blind innocence

I want a complete re-do Maybe change my name Report the losses, grab the claim "It's a shame, it's such a shame"

Kane: Stick Season - Noah Kahan

As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined You must've had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right

TW: france

So yesterday my partner and I started a nuzlocke. I chose pokemon X, because it is 1. my favourite pokemon game, and B. notoriously easy and this is my first nuzlocke. My goal is to eventually attempt to nuzlocke Ultra Sun.

I wanna keep tumblr updated on my our progress and introduce all of our pokemon as well as post whenever one dies.

Also, since Kalos is inspired by France we will name them all using a french name generator.

Yves Droit♂

Froakie was my first starter, and first pokemon ever. So idc if anyone thinks liking Greninja is basic. I will never not pick Froakie.

2. Dion Paul♂

I was really really hoping for a Fletchling. But I guess having an HM slave is good enough. I really like Zigzagoons animations in gen 6, so I guess its fine. Also raccoons are awesome. Also he has Pickup, so thats cool.

3. Lula Monette♀

Again, I tried and failed my second attempt to get a Fletchling. Could be worse though. I caught her as a Weedle and she already evolved yesterday. I guess I couldve let her learn Bug Bite first, but Im dumb, so eh. Im new to nuzlocking, so Idk which is better. Either way, shes here, shes queer, and she will grow into a Beedrill at level 10. As of writing this shes level 8.

My Annual Eurovision List - 2023

Completely based on music videos until we actually see some staging. Don’t come at me.

37. POLAND

Solo – Blanka

LMAO fuck TVP. Jann would have been my winner.

36. LITHUANIA

Stay (ČIŪTO TŪTO) – Monika Linkytė

Bleh. I know some people really like this song, but...bleh. There’s nothing here that sticks with me. The song was over and I forgot what it sounded like. I don’t know, I’m used to more from Lithuania.

35. IRELAND

We Are One – Wild Youth

This is the point where I feel like too many bands are hurting this year. They would have been fine any other year, but comparing them to the other bands this year, they’re quite weak. I also expect them so sing “We are Young” every single time...what is fun. up to anyway? (hiatus, apparently.)

34. AZERBAIJAN

Tell Me More – TuralTuranX

Uh...it’s a song. Their name reminds me of Duran Duran. Remembering the name of Duran Duran was the main thing I did while listening to this song. I abolutely HATE spoken word, oh my god. And apart from that, this sounds like one of those songs from an average to slightly bad romcom. Not even the ending song, but the one from the middle, the part where the producers knew that they wanted to convey the passage of time so they simply chose to do a montage.

33. ALBANIA

DUJE – Albina dhe Familja Kelmendi

The guy singing in between is absolutely taking me out. Definitely would’ve liked this more if the chorus hit harder, like this it’s just...kind of sad? But not the good kind, the melodramatic kind (which I can appreciate, to a certain extent, but not to THIS extent.)

32. CYPRUS

Break A Broken Heart – Andrew Lambrou

Did you know that Andrew actually wanted to participate for Australia in 2022? Yeah. I googled this while listening to the song because it has nothing that pulls me in. It’s fine, don’t get me wrong, he has a great voice, but...eh.

31. GREECE

What They Say – Victor Vernicos

Why is he a child. I like the chorus, kind of, but that’s pretty much it. Very meh.

30. LATVIA

Aijā – Sudden Lights

Another song that really takes its time to build up to nothing noteworthy, which is a shame, because in its basics, I quite enjoy it. It’s just a little...frustrating when the chorus comes and goes and nothing in me has changed? Idk lmao.

29. SWITZERLAND

Watergun – Remo Forrer

This is my grandma’s favourite song this year, yay? For some reason I keep reading his name as Ferrero Rocher. The letters barely match, I think it’s just because this is Switzerland. (yes, ferrero is italian, idk.) Oh, the song? It’s fine. It’s not his fault he’s not Gjon.

28. ICELAND

Power – Diljá

It’s fine. Feels very generic, but doesn’t hit hard enough to justify it. Specifically considering it’s Iceland sending it.

27. ARMENIA

Future Lover – Brunette

Surprisingly good in theory, but in the end I only actually like the middle part. The beginning is well sung but a little too slow for me, and I don’t really enjoy the end in general? I’m very unsure with this.

26. NETHERLANDS

Burning Daylight – Mia Nicolai & Dion Cooper

I don’t find any joy anymore either, dude. We’re so in synch, damn. Why does the first chorus do that thing where it teases a nice build up for half a second just to drop immediately? And then the second one doesn’t even properly redeem it. Ruined the whole song for me, genuinely. Not that I liked it a lot before, ehem.

25. DENMARK

Breaking My Heart – Reiley

I listened to this and kept thinking that it sounds like a song I already know, but...turns out it was just this song the whole time. Apparently someone at my local radio station really likes it. I don’t, really, I feel like I might be too old for this type of music. Talking about this...you’re telling me Reiley is OLDER than me? What the hell.

24. ITALY

Due Vite – Marco Mengoni

Second year in a row where Italy doesn’t really do it for me, damn. At least it’s a lot better than whatever was going on last year with Brividi. I still liked Supereroi a lot more and think it should have won. Meh.

23. SAN MARINO

Like an animal – Piqued Jacks

Certainly a song. All I could think about while watching this is one Youtube comment simply saying “He is a little hot” because...they’re not wrong? The song itself just doesn’t hit – but I have the fleeting suspicion that this might be fixed by having the sound mixing done by literally anyone that ISN’T San Marino. I don’t even dislike it or anything.

22. ESTONIA

Bridges – ALIKA

I know that everybody loves this, okay? It’s good enough. Perfectly good ballad. It’s not her fault I dislike most ballads. I do like the last minute though, it picks up a lot, I enjoy that.

21. AUSTRALIA

Promise – Voyager

I love how Australia is really going through the classic Eurovision evolution. My right ear also likes the song. I watched the music video, and I think the left one just didn’t get invited or something. It’s actually REALLY off-putting.

20. SLOVENIA

Carpe Diem – Joker Out

Please don’t come for me, but why does everyone love this SO much? Like, I like it a bit too, but not as much as everyone else seems to? I genuinely feel like I’m missing something here.

19. BELGIUM

Because Of You – Gustaph

This is so groovy, I don’t know why everybody hates it. (I mean, I DO know, but apart from that...it’s not that bad.) It’s not the best thing I’ve ever heard, and the aspect ratio of the official music video freaks me out, but it’s very camp – which is a good thing, obviously this is Eurovision after all!

18. UNITED KINGDOM

I Wrote A Song – Mae Muller

I had no expectations for the UK, mainly because I missed all of the teasing they did, so I’m completely fine with this...it just feels like a lot of songs this year sound similar to this? Maybe I’m going insane. But it’s nice to listen to. I wouldn’t turn the radio off if it came on.

17. GEORGIA

Echo – Iru

Imagine how much more this could have slapped if it was in Georgian. Just imagine. It’s fine like this too, and I’m sure it will be elevated by the staging, but...just imagine, honestly.

16. ROMANIA

D.G.T – Theodor Andrei

Okay, let’s ignore the performance for a bit, and just judge the song. I quite like it, actually. His voice is nice, it’s absolutely something different, and I always give a native language bonus.

15. MALTA

Dance (Our Own Party) – The Busker

The revamp did good things for this song. I like a good saxophone, and I feel like this is quite underrated in the community. It’s fun(ky), I think they will be great live, and the music video is definitely worth a watch while you’re at it.

14. SPAIN

Eaea – Blanca Paloma

I feel like I shouldn’t talk about this song without my lawyer. It’s growing on me, very slowly, but there’s still only select parts of the song that I really like, while the rest is just something I have to go through to reach them. Like the salad you get when you order a steak with fries. (I also just liked Agoney a lot more.)

13. PORTUGAL

Ai Coração – Mimicat

After a song I absolutely couldn’t stand last year, Portugal absolutely delivers again. Feels very authentic to Portugal, I really like her voice, it’s quite fast-paced, I really enjoy it.

12. SWEDEN

Tattoo – Loreen

It’s a song. I don’t know, I don’t care about it, it’s good, sure, but it’s absolutely not a winner for me. Also, the pre-chorus sounds so much like another song I know, but I cannot figure out which one and it’s driving me insane. (I have to admit though, rhyming pain and rain IS true lyrical genius, and whoever wrote that part should win an award.) I like the studio version more than the live version by the way. Yes, even with the performance. Don’t ask me why.

11. MOLDOVA

Soarele si Luna – Pasha Parfeni

I love that as long as we have Moldova, Eurovision will never be boring. This is genuinely nice, too, and fills the void Fulenn left in my heart last year perfectly.

10. FRANCE

Evidemment – La Zarra

C’est très...French. Obviously. Good French, but French nonetheless. Groovy, though. I can appreciate that it’s not really a chanson chanson.

9. UKRAINE

Heart Of Steel – TVORCHI

It’s completely fine. Quite good, even, but I just don’t think that it lives up to the songs Ukraine sent the past decade or so...which is understandable, not only because of their situation, but because the song sent by the winning country never really is. I still really appreciate it for it’s modern tone and the bass. (still preffered fiinka though sorry)

8. CROATIA

Mama ŠČ! - LET 3

This is my absolute guilty pleasure this year. I even rather like it musically, I quite enjoy it away from all the chaos. Of course, the chaos is the main reason I like it. What would Eurovision be without these songs, seriously? BRRRR, TRAKTOR.

7. ISRAEL

Unicorn – Noa Kirel

I know people don’t like this because it sounds like three songs mashed together, but I quite like it. Why? Probably because I listen to K-Pop, I’m used to the mashed-together-sound, and I quite like it. Apart from that I enjoy the song, of course, although I’m purposefully ignoring the lyrics.

6. SERBIA

Samo mi se spava – Luke Black

I listen to music like this quite a lot, so I obviously enjoy it...I’m just very afraid that it won’t really land at Eurovision, not with the juries and not with the televote. But I’ll be optimistic and delude myself into thinking that there’s no way it won’t at least make it out of the SF. (And I would absolutely believe it if it was in Semi 2 instead of Semi 1.)

5. NORWAY

Queen of Kings – Alessandra

She, Queen of the Hype! For good reason though, this is GREAT. Very Eurovision, very European in general, I love good party music.

4. CZECH REPUBLIC

My sister’s crown – Vesna

PLEASE PLEASE LET THEM BE GOOD LIVE. I can’t take another Austria 2022. This is SO good. I love it musically, I love the mix of languages, I might have a small crush on their rapper, please let them be good live. Please. I beg you. (I have a bad feeling, though. Especially the chorus just seems very hard to replicate life. I’ve seen the NF, I know.)

3. GERMANY

Blood & Glitter – Lord Of The Lost

I’m still so...in awe that we’re actually sending something good this year? Like, how did this happen? Who did we sacrifice for this? (Answer: Electric Callboy.) This kind of music just feels very German, even if they’re singing in English. My only critique is that I want him to growl more, but if their Eurovision stage is anything like their winners performance at the NF, I’m not worried.

2. AUSTRIA

Who The Hell Is Edgar? - Teya & Salena

No, seriously, who is Edgar? I only know Teya & Salena. This is such a bop – WITH a message, damn. Easily moved into my Top 5 immediately after it came out. Probably my most listened to song this last week. It’s REALLY addicting. What the hell, Österreich? Not both of us going through change right now, aww.

1. FINLAND

Cha Cha Cha – Käärijä

This song came out, I heard it once, and decided it’s my winner this year. Only Gladiator could have possibly challenged it, but we know how that went, so this is my undisputed first place. Please, juries and televote, do not rob our small king.

Oh, yes, Donatella is definitely putting in the work. But I don't think Dion's parentification was intentional, either—things simply slipped through the cracks, and balancing running a family circus with being parents isn't easy. I don't think Gus & Dona intentionally pushed responsibilities onto Dion (other than chores and the basic "hey you're the eldest so can you watch your siblings"), more that in the stress of adulting they let some of their responsibilities slip, and Dion caught them.

Of course, this is all conjecture, because while Dion and Frazie do show signs of parentification in the games, and while we do have some insight into what the Aquatos' lives were like prior to the games, that's all we have. Hints and insight. We don't know for sure if Dion helped bottlefeed Queepie or change Mirtala's diapers, we don't know for sure if he and Frazie would be left to babysit when Mom and Dad went into town, or if that task would have been entrusted to Nona. We don't know how homeschooling was handled, how much time the family spent as a unit versus how much time they had to themselves. So really, how much parentification Dion and Frazie are facing is up to interpretation—maybe it's just the normal amount of responsibility that eldest siblings get, or maybe Dion and Frazie did have to act as caretakers to their siblings when their parents couldn't. Maybe Dion & Frazie simply got more chores and more freedoms as they got older, maybe they were actively pressured to be a good example for their siblings, to be responsible—maybe they heard lines like "you're going to be a young [man/woman] soon" or "they look up to you as a role model." Maybe they're not dealing with severe parentification. Maybe they are. It's up to interpretation.

All that said, I still think Dion would have a moment where he's holding his babyfied brother, and all he can think about is when he was a small child holding his new baby brother for the first time. I think Frazie would see baby Raz levitating a rock to chew on and remember when they found out they were both psychic, remember the games they used to play and miss them. I think Dion would hold his brother, and manage to untangle the knot of emotions in his chest long enough to tell him he loves him, he's sorry, he'll try to do better, and I think Frazie might say the same.

GOT-DAYUM READING THIS HAS JUST ABSOLUTELY BLESSED MY SOUL

First of all, thank you, I have no idea why you would send an entire gorgeously written essay into lil ol' me's ask box but thanks anyway

And second I WANT TO WRITE MY OWN LITTLE INTERACTION

I could just see him picking up little baby Raz and sitting down. He takes some time to reflect on how he's treated him harshly. He, like you said, remembers when he was younger, and held Raz in his arms for the first time that he promised to be the best big brother in the world. But in his eyes, he's failed at that. He's been cold and mean to his little brother, and ultimately broke his promise.

He holds Raz (who fell asleep in his arms) closely and says how sorry he is, and promises he's going to be a better brother, and then- omg-

W H A T I F someone, I dunno, Otto maybe, found out a way to turn Raz back to normal, but it takes a second to kick in. SO WHAT IF WHEN DION IS HOLDING BABY RAZ- HE SUDDENLY TURNS INTO REGULAR RAZ IN HIS ARMS ABSKSHSISBAOWNSOSN

Please explain why Terence calls himself a dragoon but no spear? Can the man even jump????

Are you trying to gatekeep being a dragoon wtf Terence can be WHATEVER HE WANTS TO BE HE'S MY BOY━ but yea i've been wondering the same thing.

Terence is part of the order of the knights ━ the dragoons ━ which might be enough to give him the title of a dragoon at the very least and have him identify with the order considering they're his brothers-in-arms. How did he come to such a position? He's Dion's second-in-command, which establishes that they've known each other for a long time. Perhaps they were squires to the same knight (although Dion would have most likely been the squire to someone part of the royal household, perhaps even his own father, or simply an actual dragoon at the time), or they were just squires at the same time and befriended each other during that time. If Dion, when claiming his position as the leader of the order, said 'hey i want this guy as my second-in-command', I don't think a lot of people would deny him regardless of whether Terence possesses the skills of a dragoon or not.

So, what do we see about Terence's skill in battle? Nothing really. During the battle at Belenus Tor, he's overseeing the battle from above with Dion. In spite of facing Odin on the other side of the valley, he's calm and simply asks Dion if he will engage him personally which… is really the soundest option they really have. But the way Terence is there to observe, and is just so calm, to me just looks like that he's somewhat of a strategist. He's also the one delivering Dion the news that they cannot be expecting reinforcements of the capital which would be essential to further strategising, and he seems to be the one who received that information first.

I also believe that the order of dragoon wouldn't consist of only dragoons ━ they'd have their own support rather than relying on support from outside their order, healers and the like. Terence could belong to that "support group" of the dragoons. So you'd have Dion, as a dragoon himself, as the leader of the order, and someone who's not a dragoon but support as the second-in-command which can make for a good balance.

So... I don't think that Terence is a dragoon when it comes to his combat skills. Maybe he can handle a spear (hehe) but not to the extent of an actual dragoon. He's a dragoon because he's part of the order and, as second-in-command and something of a strategist, would know best how to put their skills to use while Dion is engaged in battle himself.

Also he sometimes has to carry around Dion's spear, I think it'd just be fucking awkward if he carried around two spears so it's better if he isn't a dragoon but, in case of an emergency, can use a spear. Makes it more reasonable for him to have a sword he can just carry at his hip easily.

No, the man cannot jump higher than 65cm.

#drachenblood #aka i have no idea how this works because they never established how the order works and i'm pulling all of this out of my ass #but have this mess of thoughts anyway #he's a dragoon in his heart ok

I have a lot of Thoughts on XVI too and nobody I know has finished it. I probably couldn't fit them in an ask tho. One nobody else will get because they haven't played DMC - did the Odin/Barnabos fight give you massive Vergil on top of Temen-ni-gru vibes? I know people have said they were let down that fight wasn't on the spectacle of Titan/Bahamut but I really enjoyed it for the pure swordfight aspect of it. It's just a shame that the game clearly wanted him to be a rival to Clive and that 1/2

2/2 fell totally flat to me storywise. If they wanted him to be a proper rival, Barnabos and Clive needed to actually meet way earlier into the game. I'm so disappointed by the way it seemed they wanted him to be a secondary villain to Ultima but they only give him focus and let you fight him right when it's time to also get rid of him. They should have gone full Vergil and had you duel him multiple times through the game with him using more of his moveset each time as he was testing Clive.

I loved the Barnabas fight for many reasons, and I hated both the Titan and the Bahamut fights for many reasons (not least of all that I couldn't see what the FUCK was happening on the screen for most of Titan & Bahamut so I almost threw my controller in rage because FFXVI was too concerned with making the game accessible to turn-based whiner piss babies than it was making it accessible to people with actual fucking disabilities) so my opinion is definitely going to be the minority one LMAO

But yes I definitely rolled my eyes after the Barnabas fight when Ultima referred to the other Dominants as Clive's "rivals." No, homie, that's not what they were. Any of them. Benedikta was just in Clive's way. Clive was just Kupka's Pyramid Head. Clive doesn't even meet Dion until well after the Bahamut fight is over. Ramuh & Shiva were given to him willingly. What the fuck are you talking about.

I think they tried to make Barnabas feel like Vergil -- because Clive does actually fight him multiple times, and it basically plays out the same way.

The first time they draw swords at each other, it's after the Sleipnir fight, and Clive just straight-up loses (like Dante loses at the top of Temen-Ni-Gru). The second time is at the bottom of the ocean, and Clive does better but still doesn't win (like how the second fight between Dante and Vergil ended in a draw because Arkham went nuts and did the thing). And then, the third time, Clive actually wins (like how Dante wins in the Underworld, finally).

But I never actually thought to compare Barnabas to Vergil until your ask came in, because Clive's relationship to Barnabas wasn't personal enough for me to think Vergil.

Like, when RE4make happened, I looked at Remake Krauser and immediately went "HOLY SHIT HE'S JUST VERGIL NOW. THEY JUST STRAIGHT UP TURNED HIM INTO VERGIL." but boy did I not get that with XVI, like at all.

And Barnabas was such a missed opportunity in terms of making him a more personalized villain, because Cid was literally his Lord Commander, but that only comes up once in conversation in passing.

Because XVI's story is bad. And it just establishes things that go nowhere and get forgotten about and dropped. Like. Constantly.

Okay, interns, since the Halloween season is approaching, I wanted to ask who is the better Pennywise in your opinion?

Tim Curry:

Bill Skarsgard:

[Raz] I haven't watched the movies - I tried once , but Norma and Lizzie caught me. I think that the first one looks like a regular clown, but the second one ...disturbs me greatly.

[Lizzie] Tim Curry is a classic, but Bill Skarsgår's performance brought it to a whole different level of terror.

[Adam] I prefer Tim Curry's version. I admit, the remake duology is the scariest of the bunch; but like Lizzie said, you can't beat a classic.

[Frazie] Never seen either of these - on the road a lot, plus a few younger siblings makes horror movies a bit of a rare occurrence with us. Norma, be honest with me: how scary are these movies?

[Norma] The 1990 version really set the standard, but the advancement of cinematic technology definitely makes the remakes a lot worse. In either case, Nightmares are a guarantee.

[Frazie] I'll take the second one, then, because he actually looks scary. First one's costume looks too cheap.

[Lizzie] Hey, don't disrespect the maestro!

[Frazie] I'm a circus gal, I'm allowed to voice my opinion on circus related topics - including clown costumes.

[Sam] She's got you there, Liz. I like both, but the first one's is more for a ...relaxed scary night, if that's a thing.

[Gisu] My opinion is a bit the same as those said before. I even agree a bit about the cheapness look of Tim Curry's Pennywise.

[Lizzie] Okay, I feel like I'm going need to educate you all in appreciating cinema history. We're having a Movie Night and we're watching all three of these - 1990, 2017 and 2019!

[Morris] Might as well, I haven't seen the remakes yet.

[Raz] Ooh, can me and Lili watch, please? I'm old enough now!

[Sam] I think they can handle it.

[Adam] Yeah, these kids are though.

[Frazie] (Bumps Norma's shoulder) Whaddaya think, Topina?

[Norma] (Pauses as she thinks) (Deep sigh) Okay, fine, but only the 1990 version. The remakes are way too ...much.

[Lizzie] And after that movie, you got directly to bed and no complaining. You agree with that, Poots?

[Raz] Deal! I'm gonna tell Lili! (Runs off)

[Morris] (Leans towards Adam) (Whispers) I just love seeing those two get in Big Sister Mode.

[Adam] (Chuckles)

[Gisu] Anyway, I'm gonna call Dion and see if he can come to see the movies with us. When he gets scared, he tends to get cuddly and I wanna take all advantage of that.

[Frazie] Ooh, sounds like a good idea, actually. (Drapes herself over Norma, making her blush.)

[Lizzie] You're an example to us all, Nerumen. Speaking of which, I'll go see Millie and see if she's down to clown with us - pun intended.

[Sam] I'm coming with. I was gonna head over to the store and get snacks anyway.

[Norma] Which leaves the rest of us to try and manage to get this pigsty cleaned up. Honestly, have you guys never heard of picking up after yourselves?

[Adam] (Leans over to Morris) (Whispers) And that's one side of Big Sister Mode that I don't love.

[Norma] I heard that!

[Morris] (Laughs)

Your poly headcanons where Dion is psychic. Give 🤲

Hollis: Agent Martinez. I have to remind you you are a Junior agent with limited field experience. In no way, shape, or form will I make you Mr Aquato's mentor.

Morris: but it would be so funny Dr Forsythe PLEASE consider that-

(I'm a big Psychic Dion fan so I have many!!)

They all love levitation! Dion would go up somewhere really high, jump off, and then make a balloon at the last second. Gives everyone a heart attack. He's used to the feeling of flying- but he never got to really fall before. its... a bit of a concerning habit.

He makes his first lev ball and Gisu holds his hands. He's a master acrobat but nerves have him all wobbly.

Morris might try to tease him and accidentally hurt his feelings, because he's. actually p sensitive about this? He's defensive. Dion snaps and they have an argument but boundaries are established, and Morris is fine bc he assures Dion there is SO much else to make fun of him for.

Depending on what powers you give him- he's kissing one of his partners and feeling so happy and floaty and just- starts lifting off the ground. Or maybe he does a zip-zap and sparks them, or maybe their water bottle nearby bursts. He just has a lotta feelings.

But I also love Dion who is not really a battle psychic, who thinks that he can't be psychic because his powers don't present the same way as his siblings'. Once his powers do start coming through he spends a lot of time in psycho isolation. Maybe he feels lost in a sea of other people's emotions until he can't really define his own. Maybe he gets random bursts of precognition that he's dealt with by developing anxiety and paranoia.

Gisu and Morris though... they stick by him. They hold his hands and have date nights that are just cuddling with the lights off in silence because Dion has another migraine. They don't mind hanging out with him even though he's a sad sack sometimes. Things get bad for a bit- but they're still there until things are better again. And that... is important to him. Knowing they liked him enough to hang around and put in extra effort.

uhm. I did the Dion/Lizzie fanfic (well like 98% of it. I need 2 percent more) if you wanna read it be my guest but it’s wip (please pm me mistakes/advice) and it’s…

✨under the cut✨

Lizzie and Dion try to visit each other. Maybe it’s more like Lizzie crashing into Dion’s room.

Lizzie walked down the snow-trodden path of Ocean City, gift in hand. The brisk Maryland weather forcing her to wear a scarf. Just a scarf, though. The weather doesn’t control her, she's not a pussy. She was still in her short sleeved tee and overalls. This better be worth it, Lizzie thought as she finally reached her destination.

Murray’s Antiques. The sign had two eye flashing, which always made her uncomfortable, and she never really knew why her girlfriend preferred staying here over renting an apartment or staying at a hotel even. But Lizzie couldn’t really talk though. The former gang-leader stayed in a shed with a sleeping bag on it. Or used too, anyways. Now Dion, “worried for her well-being” and “concerned about her health,” let her stay in her room, filled with all sorts of knick knacks and trinkets. The tentacle really creeped her out.

Lizzie marched her way towards the back of the house however, because every time she entered through the front, it was the same question and the same excuse can only work so many times.

——————————————————————————

The black haired chick sitting at the desk would raise an eyebrow. “Why are you here, Lizzie?”

Normally she’d have one prepared, but sometimes she’d caught off-guard. “Uh.. payment for Dion Simmons.”

“For what?” “That’s none of your goddamn business.”

She’d look up from the paper on her desk. “Well I can’t let you in without a reason.”

Now it was Lizzie’s turn to cock her eyebrow. “I just gave you one.”

—————————————————————————

Ugh, the joke setup was so awful neither Lizzie nor the author wants to finish the memory. Before she realizes it, though, her face gets very familiar with the window, and pure bewilderment makes her fall flat ass into the snow, dropping her gift. Damn it! The bottom was all soggy, and it was slightly dented on the side. It was expensive, too. It was hard finding a guy in Ocean City who could make these for cheap but good. Well, she did put a crowbar to his knees. Lizzie carefully picks it up, and knocks on the window to the tune of some jazz song she knows Dion likes. Vaguely the tune.

Dion sits on her bed, waiting anxiously. The jazz agent is normally this silent, but it’s never this uncomfortably silent. In her shadow shorts lap sits a little box, precariously undisturbed. The crystal store next door didn’t want to work on it at first, but after some gentle encouragement, (read: a shakedown from the mafia and a convincing sleaze gun to the woman’s face), she finally got it finished.

Finally, a loud bang hits her barely working window, followed by a wet thud and a loud string of curse words. It startles Dion, and she makes sure she looks perfect down to the last coil on her afro, even though she knows Lizzie won’t really care. The woman runs a gang after all. After giving her girlfriend a second to compose herself, she unlocked the.. lock, and opened the window.

A hefty medium sized box was thrown through the window first, the Big Lizzie herself, who had to use about 90% of her stamina to get herself through the window in the first place. Eventually, Dion took the girl's hand and got her in, landing on the twin-sized bed with a small “oumph.”

“Hi.” Dion said first. Thank goodness you can’t see cherries in chocolate, because her face would be red as a tomato.

Lizzie just giggled. “Heya Doll. Long time no see, eh?”

“Yes. I’ve.. missed you.” The shorter of the two women gave the other a hug. It had been a long time since they had seen each other. It felt like 5000 years. Fighting an Old God really did that to your schedule.

Lizzie was surprised by the sudden show of affection. It was unusual for Dion, but she didn’t mind it. Not one bit. She returned the hug back, and gave the other a kiss on the cheek. She could feel the blush on the other one’s face.

The freckled gal sat down on the bed, taking off her scarf. Dion puzzled over it. “You came in.. just a scarf?” Lizzie nodded. “I wanted to be on time, you’re always jeering about how I’m late..” Dion puffed her face, and Lizzie knew what that meant. “Well, that won’t do.” She stormed out of the room, and Lizzie had picked out a book from her girlfriends bookshelf to pass the time. Oooh, Auto-Repair for Geniuses.

————————————————————————-

Dion had come out of her room, with two mugs and a determined look on her face. Jessica raised her head from her desk.

“What do you need two mugs for?”

Dion stopped. “Uhh.. I’m extra thirsty.”

Jessica cocked her eyebrow above her glasses.

“I heard the window open. And a thud.”

Dion sighed. She didn’t feel like coming out today. “Well, Jessica. If you really have to know, it’s mafia business, which pays for this whole shabangbang of hunting down Gods. Now unless you wanna lose fun-“

Jessica (quite rudely) interrupted her. “Alright, alright! Well, just try not to use all the ingredients. Murray said that stuff’s getting expensive.”

“…Ok.”

————————————————————————

Dion had come back, two hot mugs in hand. Lizzie had barely noticed her until she sat next to her and handed it to her. “Here, I got you hot chocolate.”

She took her’s, sipping it. She didn’t even really like hot chocolate, but she knew Lizzie did, and that was evident by the fact she was practically chugging hers.

Eventually, the taller one had to ask. “Why ain’t you tell your folks about us yet?” Dion sucked in her teeth. “I’m.. not ready to admit it.” It was still hard to believe it herself. It has been three months since she’d fallen for Lizzie, two since she finally admitted it to herself and one since she confessed.

“Well who have you told? The devil?” Dion sucked in her teeth again. “..Kinda.” “What?” “Nothing.” There was a moment of silence while Dion handed her mug to Lizzie. “..I’ve told Molly though. She got a girlfriend already.” Lizzie smiled a bit. “Well at least you told someone you trust.” She took the other into her arm, rubbing her shoulder to comfort her. Dion leaned into the touch.

Lizzie perked up suddenly. “Hey, Doll! I got you something for Crimbo. I’d think you’d like it.” She reached over and got the slightly-messed up box. “I.. dropped it. I hope it ain’t too damaged.”

Dion took it, struggling a bit since she didn’t have as much muscle as the mechanic. “That’s ok, Lovebug.” She gently tore off the wrapping paper, to find a beautiful little radio on the box. Opening the packaging, the radio was just as nice as the art made it to be. It was sleek, black, and fit perfectly into her room. Dion nearly passed out. It turned to over 72 stations. 72!

Dion turned to the red-head, and hugged her again, but this time it was much more eager. “Thank you Lovebug! Thank you so much!” Lizzie nearly was tackled over how much force was put on her at once. “Awe, ain’t nothin. I knew how much you liked jazz n’ music.” She blushed.

Dion suddenly waved her hands, excited to get out the box from her pocket. It was silver and iron coloured, barely the size of her palm. Dion put it in Lizzie’s hand, putting her own behind her back. “I want you to open it.” Lizzie was confused, but did as she was told

She flipped open the top, revealing a beautiful ring. The crystal in the center was pitch black and absorbed all light around it, leaving nothing but her reflection on it, like a mirror. The platinum design was beautiful, and it would not rust while working, either. It was wonderful.

“How.. how much did this cost?”

“2000… meat. The mob owed me a favor..”

Ignoring the mob part, Lizzie put it on almost immediately. It looked great on her hand.

guys it 2 am i’m too tired I’ll work on this later

#shadows over loathing #SoL Dion Simmons #SoL Big Lizzie #I DID IT #well like 98%#ITS FINE #WJHRJDHFHEHHE #NWEHHEHEHE #lol

The Interns? Or, failing that, Morris and Gisu?

Just gonna do Morris and Gisu, otherwise this ask would be much longer than it should.

-Morris:

First impression: I like how he uses his psychic ability for a wheelchair! It's a really cool concept! Though, other than that I didn't really care about him when I first saw him, I was focused more on Lizzie I'm pretty sure.

Impression now: He's actually really cool and smart!

Favorite moment: There aren't actually a lot of moments that stick out to me with Morris. I guess if I had to choose would be his conversation of the pirate radio with Lizzie.

Idea for a story: There's this vague idea I have where Morris finds out he can create real items from his mind. At first they are very temporary but with enough practice they become real. I can see a story where he tries to prove himself with creating something real and permanent to try and impress people only for it not to work and he gets laughed at. He realizes he is better off than with those so called friends and is able to make things much easier because he's making them for him and not others.

Unpopular opinion: Don't know if this is unpopular, but I think he was born without the use of his legs. I've seen some people say it could have been an accident, but I think he was just born like that.

Favorite relationship: Either him and Gisu or him and Dion. Both relationships as friends, but him and Dion seems like a really fun relationship dynamic of frenemies.

Favorite headcanon: I don't really have any set headcanons for Morris. For some reason I just can't think of anything for him without it changing. He is definitely some flavor of queer in my head, but I don't know what. I'm now starting to think of him as a he/him lesbian for some reason, either that or him just being gay for men? Either he's nonbinary or something. I don't know, Morris is just an open book for me at the moment.

-Gisu:

First impression: Loved her accent when I heard it, though that was all I really took note the first time I played. I did really like her headscarf and design, but didn't care all to much for her afterwards.

Impression now: Now she's probably my second or third fave intern! It changes between her and Lizzie while Sam is #1.

Favorite moment: Literally her just straight up telling Raz that Norma thinks Raz is the mole is fucking hilarious to me! She says it so quickly and nonchalantly, I love it.

Idea for a story: All I can think about is her breaking her arm one day when skating along with getting a small concussion and having to learn how to deal with it at first. She can't use psychic powers because of the concussion so she'd have to find creative ways to deal with everyday life.

Unpopular opinion: 2 things kinda. I prefer her with her scarf up, I know she does have it down sometimes, but a lot of art I see of her has it down and I just like it up a lot. Secondly, I prefer her and Dion as friends and not romantic. Though I can get behind some poly relationships with her and Dion depending on who the third is.

Favorite relationship: I don't really know, hmmmm. Her and Morris have a really good dynamic going on, but I can see her and Lizzie being like cool skater punks together lol.

Favorite headcanon: She's trans! :3

Sea, why do you think Harry/zayn/Niall fans say Louis can’t sing? I’ve recently decided to watch some clips of him singing (from recent shows) and I will admit I don’t actually know much about vocals but I’ve always been very like - picky w live vocals? I grew up listening to Michael Jackson and Celine dion who have great voices so it’s kinda hard for me to appreciate ppl who don’t have insane vocals.

But like when I listen to Louis, sometimes I don’t like his voice on the first listen. Like I’ll need to listen once to a vid of him singing and on the second time I think it’s beautiful and almost like - mesmerizing. Sometimes it sounds very like- pitchy and whiney to me. And idk if that’s technique bc I watched music producers and ppl who know vocals go to Louis concerts saying he was v on point vocally w the exception of singing too young where he was kinda pitchy. One music producer + vocalist I adore said he thinks that adds to a song though bc it makes it more emotional. And I kinda think that’s a strong point in louis’ voice- you feel that shit in your loins. But personally, for me, the whiney male voice has never been my absolute favorite.

But I do think his tone is v unique which means not everyone is gonna like it - yk? Idk if he does the whiney voice on purpose but I do think it sounds a lot more ?controlled? Than it did in 1d. Which I think is good bc I’m all about singers working on themselves instead of giving up like Selena Gomez has. I’m a solo zayn Stan who kinda has a soft spot for Louis so obviously I know he’ll never be on zayns level vocally(I mean not before years of practice and even then- who’s gonna outsing zayn? No one) but I still kinda like him. I just have mixed opinions on his voice w what I mentioned that I think it takes some getting used to. But I defo don’t think he’s bad. I think “can’t sing” is a stretch and if we’re being honest he’s stronger than like 80% of the industry. I kinda just wish he just did more w his voice but ig he’s just not there yet bc that takes time to develop from what ik

A few reasons.

Louis doesn’t have a traditionally masculine rock voice. His register is higher than usual, and is the highest in 1D (except for the falsettos that Zayn and Liam can do). A pure tenor masculine voice is not everyone’s taste— we are used to lower rock voices.

Louis also has had notable problems with pitch, mostly because of insecurity and nerves. Ironically, he had a lot better pitch control when he was younger. In 1D, Louis got to a point of worrying about every solo he had to sing, so that by WWA tour his solos either came out flat (too low in pitch) or poorly supported— thin and whiny. This was noticeable during the first live solo performances too. Through interval training and exercises in breath control, Louis has improved pitch control tremendously.

Louis is also singing in a more Britpop/ punk way, with his mouth close to the mic (sometimes on top of the mic), producing a nasally and closed sound. It’s not my favorite, to be honest, but Louis makes it work. Not everyone can sing like this and get away with it. In opera and Broadway, singers will use the resonance in their mouths and throats a lot more, to open up the sound.

Now if you listen to Louis at his highest range of his head voice, where he’s belting out the high notes, there’s a ease of delivery from a relaxed, full abdominal support that sounds like a soft boom. It’s not forced or strained, and his laryngeal muscles (vocal cords and strap muscles that control vocal tension) are relaxed, vibrating in a controlled, supple way. He doesn’t use much vibrato, so he has to hit the pitch right on. This is the kind of virtuoso belting that Louis is known for, because his voice is so pure in the higher registers.

The voice used to be purer. It sounds raspier and rougher now because of smoking and alcohol (which might help with a rockier sound). Still, if we compare Louis to some of the other high tenors in the business, we can hear strain in their live performances compared to Louis’ lives, which are powerful, controlled and supple.

You’re right. Louis’ voice has a unique timbre that not everyone likes. It’s a personal stamp that is hard to imitate. His voice can be a little grating and whiny, especially in speech, but in singing, it’s a captivating blend of pure tenor and raspy baritone that’s unique and magnetic. And the voice breaks in strategic places in the lyrics capture the emotions with such brilliant delicacy.

Okay okay I should probably slow down now. But! I gotta talk about "Children's Work" by Dessa bc it's such a song for the Aquato kids oh my goddddd. Dion parentification. Dion Raz siblinghood. Frazie & Tala & Queepie. Yes.

The first verse being Dion talking about all of his little siblings. "Before you came along I was a lone cub / Fell in love with language, tried to tell the grown-ups / About the storm clouds, the weather in my head / Hadn't heard the word for melancholy yet / Then you came in five years behind" is like. Dion and Frazie singing together because they're so close in age. Dion having trouble with words and Frazie's developing psychic powers. And then Raz comes in, five-six years later.

"Then you came... I thought you were the prophet of 1989" is Raz, "You were so tender, we thought something was wrong with you / So patient, we thought that you were deaf" Mirtala, and "You were so solemn, so tiny but so ancient / Mom took you to see doctors, you scared her half to death" is Queepie.

And then "And I made you a library of tiny books with spines two inches high / You didn't say too much / But your smile taught me how to quiet down my mind" is like. Frazie and Raz practicing their powers together. And then the second iteration of the refrain reflecting on how Frazie decided she was done playing mind games with Raz and how it broke them apart. Frazie's learned how to paint her face and earn her keep, and she's done playing such childish games. But part of her misses that closeness she had with Raz, and Raz went off to learn how to better use his powers.

The first and third times we hear the refrain it's like "But I've learned how to paint my face / How to earn my keep / How to clean my kill" the kids all learning acrobatics. Dion's parentification. "Some nights I still can't sleep / The past rolls back, I can see us still" reflecting back on before the family's psychophobia put a rift between him and Frazie and Raz. "You've learned how to hold your own / How to stack your stones / But the history's thick" Raz running away and learning so many skills. But also still struggling with Meat Circus and Maligula because those aren't battles he should have to fight on his own. And "Children aren't as simple / As we'd like to think" all of the Aquato kids got something going on. Queepie's smart for his age and Mirtala's emotionally intelligent.

I just. Dessa has a lot of bangers and this one always hits my heart like a freight train when I think about the Aquato kids.

Listened to this one and oh also freight train! Up there with “sense of home” with most painful aquato songs

Since being able to play ffxiv, I ended up making my hosie fankids because I Am Weak to character creation lol

But also since I created my hosie fankids here, it got me thinking about what jobs Hope and Josie would have (along with the kids too). So I'm going to put my musings here under the read more if anyone is interested lol

Additionally, the jobs I'll be writing below for the kids are the jobs I will be giving them in the game once I get to unlock it (they're currently in their base class right now and I gotta lvl them up to 30 and do some quests before that)

Hope, even though she's a tribrid, I decided that she would have Dragoon as her job. I also did play around with the idea that her second job would be Red Mage since they use both magic and melee, but I definitely prefer the idea of her as a Dragoon way more. I mean, think about it, Hope with her lance/spear, jumping at great heights, and then plummeting down on her enemies to land hits? Hot.

For Josie, I was stumped between Black Mage or Blue Mage. Black Mage because that would be the obvious choice since it's a magic class. But Blue Mage was also appealing since Blue Mages--from what I've read--mimics the abilities of their enemies, and that felt really fitting since Josie is a Siphoner. However, I decided to stick with putting her as a Black Mage instead. It just felt better to me.

For the kids:

Lana is the first born between Hope and Josie and is a Tribrid like Hope, so my thought process for what job Lana would be is the same as Hope. I just think them being Dragoons is neat and totally not because I am biased lol (okay maybe I'm a little biased, but you cannot tell me Dragoons like Fang from ff13, Aranea from ff15, or even Dion from ff16 aren't badass as hell). Currently her base class is Lancer.

Hayley never inherited the magic genes and is a werewolf. So for her, I picked Monk for her job. She's a tough fighter and is always the one to rush into the front lines. Plus, with the training she got from Hope, Hayley is one powerful opponent. Plus, she has a mean right hook lol. So Monk made perfect sense for me when I chose her job. Currently her base class is Pugilist.

Jay was the same as Josie. Debated between Black Mage or Blue Mage, but I ultimately went with Black Mage foe him. I did think about picking a melee job for him since Jay is also an exceptional fighter when not using/relying on magic. But in the end, I decided to stick to my gut and keep him as a Black Mage. Currently his base class is Thaumaturge.

Leo is the last of my Hosie fankids! He was adopted by Hope and Josie after they found him scared and alone in an alley around Mystic Falls. He's also the only human in a family of supernaturals. He always felt like he's missing out in all the cool things because he's only human. Leo ends up learning about magic and can only create potions that don't require him to use magic or spells, only dumping and mixing ingredients and that's it. So anyways, I decided that with that logic, his job woukd be Scholar. As well as Summoner. Scholar because it would be the closest thing I'd think would fit with what he wants to achieve. And Summoner because I just think it'd be neat for him to be able to summon creatures. Plus, I honestly feel like Leo is just that personable to the point where he'd be befriending all sort of creatures (and giving Hope and Josie mild heart attacks when Leo comes home with a hell hound or something lmao). Currently his base class is Arcanist.

Edit: WAIT I NEED TO ADD ONE MORE THING FOR LEO! I think he'd also be great as an Astrologian as well!!!!!!! I mean I think that job fits pretty well, maybe more so than Summoner if I'm being honest.

Oh! And because Leo is adopted, I chose to give him a different race than the other three in the game. Lana, Hayley, and Jay are all Hyur and Midlander clan. When I was creating Leo, I originally wanted him to be an Au Ra Raen, but the shortest i could go for height was like. 5'7" or something? So I picked Miqo'te Seekers of the Sun instead and then I had a realization: Leo = Lion = Cats = Miqo'te. Unintentional Galaxy Brain lmaooo

Anyways, that's it for my Hosie and Hosie fankids in the world of FFXIV musings lol
