#that would've belonged to the various members that he would now have context for

After Azran Legacy Descole was left with a lot of clothes, personal items, and various souvenir trinkets left behind by the other former passengers of the Bostonious none of which was ever properly retrieved due to the groups sudden parting.

Rather than throwing it all out Descole has been trying to covertly return all items back to their original owners and because it’s Descole he’s probably returning the objects and whatnot in the most complicated way possible over a period of time.

Auroras stuff in particular remains safely stored in a box on the Bostonious.

#professor Layton #jean descole #desmond sycamore #gens musings #wowie headcanons :) #azran legacy #i was thinking about how everyone in the bostonious crew was suckered into buying one of those popono souvenirs #and how Des was ultimately left with a hoard of them because there's no way that anyone got to properly collect their stuff #before having to rush off to the Azran sanctuary #thoroughly amused by the thought of Des trying to offload some of this stuff for way longer than needbe bc hes trying to be sneaky about it #like maybe he could just throw it away but absolutely has this lingering sense of guilt especially with more of the personal items #that would've belonged to the various members that he would now have context for #like idk Des is just standing over the trash with like a teddy bear that Luke owns n he cant bring himself to properly toss it #and raymonds like why dont we just mail them back #n des is like “akshdkajshdkjahsdkhasdk its stupud little beady little eyes have won this encounter- u win this time sir cuddles-” #“had i not known the context of your origins you would have been in a landfill by now” #wonder if emmy wouldve gotten any photos developed on their trip bc oooh the evil thought of des having to review them b4 sending them back #I think there was no attempt to toss auroras stuff at any point i think the guilt would actually kill him #most of her stuff would just comprised of souvenirs gained over the trip #HELP HELP HELP I ELABORATED TOO MUCH IN THE TAGS SORRY

Since I'm really restless and nothing's really been successful at distracting me, I'm just gonna infodump my jumbled and fragmented thoughts about my various AUs in no particular order:

...quilted garments as part of the clan's ethnic dress

Isfan and Farangis falling into a friendly rivalry that continues well into their adulthood

Grandmama Eihon badass

I do not have the reason nor context for this but the scenario of Arslan dyeing his hair the same brown as his brother... He said the reason he avoided black despite it belonging to several family members (Shapur, Kazai, Kashi) was because he doesn't want to associate with “that man” (Andragoras)

Hoshiori wore soft and light colours, and simpler clothes before the fall of Uzushio, after which she wears mourning clothes (can't settle on black or white, because black wood provide a nice transition to what she'll wear and do next, while white traditionally was the mourning colour for Japan before the black-as-mourning thing came in from the west), and then when she starts taking charge and taking on a leader position and being proactive, she wears brighter, bolder, more eye-catching and “severe” colours with heavy ornamentation to draw attention to her lineage (basically royalty) and to remind Konoha of the fact that they failed her homeland Uzushio.

When she died and reincarnated in the modern world, Elise thought she was being punished for her misdeeds in her previous life. She's an orphan now, in an unknown world, and must struggle to survive. Even after she dies in the modern world and reincarnates again into her original body, the mentality stuck with her and she has a lot of baggage hanging on her.

On that note, I wonder if Elise would've sympathized with Marianne or turn away because she couldn't bear to look at her. Marianne and first-life!Elise had a lot of parallels, would she find it too hard to look at Marianne, because all she'd be seeing is a reflection of her own self, which she's disgusted by?

When the clan first moved in to live in Shapur's castle, Gieve and Isfan didn't get along. Like, at all. From Gieve's perspective Isfan and Shapur stole his little brother, and from Isfan's perspective Gieve is barging into Arslan's life without knowing anything about him— “How would you know? You weren't there.” Cue a shitton of tension.

Windchimes. I keep hearing windchimes. I just remembered that in RHoG, well the part that hadn't made it into the fic proper anyways, I associated Mardalia with windchimes like they were everywhere. I'm wondering if I could put windchimes in WoW too. Dunno what they'll do, though.

While he was working in the palace, a rumor spread that Arslan taught little birds how to sing. It started out as a joke, really, as a servant boy told that little kids (Arslan going “What are you telling the children?!” in the background), all the adults know that it's a joke but the little kids take it very seriously.

The joke rumor got to the marzbans too, and I like to imagine Daryun might tease him for it XD

I'm thinking, that as part of the coming-of-age ceremony of clan children, the ones who come of age would swear an oath before the mother tree (which they'd call the Heart Tree in the absence of the actual Moon Tree which is a whole nother worldbuilding rabbit hole), I don't have the oath planned out but it'd have to do with protecting and sheltering lost, abandoned and runaway souls who wander into the mountains, and painting the clansmen as “watchmen” or “guardians”. The final line would be smth like “And now my watch begins.” I don't know whether to put the ceremony in (EDIT: I MISTYPED, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SUMMER OR AUTUMN MY BAD)

I couldn't help but remember this moment— where Hatsuharu went, “Yeah, I wonder who?” with a deadpan face, and couldn't help but see younger Isfan as Kyo and younger Farangis as Hatsuharu 😂 (that aside though, Kazuma here be giving mad Ayunnen vibes)

During the early days, Kazai would make Gieve catch his (Kazai's) cat as part of his training. It'll teach him how to jump on rooftops, navigating narrow spaces, finding shortcuts etc, and Gieve would always turn up dirty and battered 😂 Isfan would catch sight of him like that and he'd be like “...why are you like that” and Gieve's like “training! don't you see!” and Isfan's like 0_0 because it's quite different from the training Shapur gives him, I imagine 😂 Kazai pops up, and Gieve proudly shows off the cat. “Great job!! You're getting faster! Now go wash yourself.”

I still have no clue how to make Jaswant meet Arslan in this AU yet

Petunia and Mei friendship 🤝

I wonder how Kubard would react upon meeting Kazai, it's bound to be glorious 😂
