Notes, Day 86, Part 3

Reed spent his Saturday teaching Coda to talk.

Reed: Who's a clever girl?

Coda: Meeeeeee!

Also, the pond is unfrozen, so he's happy.

I did let Reed babysit for a few hours after Maddy got home from work, whilst she and Cliff went out on a date.

You know what makes me particularly happy? GET ROMANCED LIAM O BRIAN! Seeing him just sitting there al red and shy getting a bucket full of love dumped on him was good for my soul.

In campaign one he was the trail blazer of romance and did most of the heavy lifting with confessions and general romancing.

In campaign two he said "I'm not doing that again, been there done that". We all know how that went ... But it did mostly happen behind the curtains, off game, so he didn't get to experience it.

But ROBBIE WENT ALL OUT with this declaration, he really said I'll do romance and I'll do it good and Liam really deserved to be on the other side of that. I'm glad Orym couldn't gather his courage first, I think that was just right

does this make sense

I think the same reason I love Dorym is why I love Loquatious and Laerryn. One, the devotion of it all. But secondly, and more importantly, "But there's one story of a fairy who stumbled into this world and fell in love"

Because Dorian is an air genasi prince who left home to find something real. His home floats on wind and he's never wanted for a thing. And he came down from his clouds only to find himself stumbling, tumbling, into love with just a man.

There is something so earnest about a man who is considered magical and wondrous in a world that already has magic, falling in love with someone who just is.

It's a thought that scratches the back of my mind a lot. It goes hand in hand with Liam saying "he has no idea if Dorian returns his feelings". Because from Orym's point of view why would Dorian have feelings for him? Dorian. The beautiful blue prince who is extremely talented in both music and magic. Dorian is everything Orym admires in other people. Everything he doesn't see in himself.

But Dorian does have feelings for Orym. Because Orym is everything he's not. He's firm and reliable. He knows who he is and is unapologetic about it. Orym was the only one in the (original) Crown Keepers that wasn't tempted by the spider queen. Because he was too principled. He was too good. Dorian's alignment changed. Dorian felt himself getting worse. Yet Orym stayed steadfast. In the face of everything he did not change.

Their pursuits were the same. They wanted to protect their friends. At any cost. But Orym somehow stayed unchanged. He always knew the right way of doing things.

So the handsome prince fell in love with a guard and planned to stay with him until he no longer wanted the company.

I literally said to a friend "I know he leaves. But he is so devoted to Orym I don't know how they're going to get him to."

And it was the one thing neither could argue against. Family. Orym knew about family. He knew about duty.

But even a continent away Dorian couldn't stop thinking about Orym. His little tactician before he was the savior blade. Even when his world came crashing down, Orym called and he went.

Idk. I think there's something beautiful in the way that Dorian loves Orym. I think it is very reminiscent of the fey who stumbled into this world and fell in love. I think it will be a love that will always be with them. That they will have to recover from. A love they might have to mourn before they ever have it.

Even if they never... If there is no love confession, if they have to mourn the loss of the people they thought they were, if there's no way for them to be together; Dorian will always love Orym. In the same way Orym loves Will. First love often lingers.

Notes, Day 86, Part 1

Melody: Part of me wishes I wasn't going to uni quite yet - I don't want to miss Coco being little!

Luisa: I'll trade, if you like. I'm going to miss Shawn so much!

Cliff: Why are we doing homework in the middle of Jazz and Melody's party?

Dorian: Because I've got the wanting to do it now feeling and if I don't do it now that will go away and then I won't want to do it another time!

Cadee: Come on, Love, shake my paw... I mean hand!

Dorian: When I grow up, can I be a cooker?

Jazz: Missed!

Neo: Did not! I can see snow on your coat!

Jazz managed to get his car fixed up and sold tonight, which is a nice boost for his college fund.

Melody spent ages doing her homework, and then I realised she's not going to school again, so her grades won't go up. It's not even like I could send her to school and then send her to college at the end of the day because it's Saturday.

Reed: Can't you two go to your room?

Time for Jazz and Melody's off-to-college party!

So since you are doing unity art (which love you are btw ✨) and I am obsessed with your merfolk au! So I've gotta ask, what can of merfolk would léon be? A clownfish species like Arno perhaps?

Sorry for the wait on this! I’m so glad you like my Unity stuff and the au so far!! While Arno’s a maroon clownfish, Léon would be a spot-fin porcupinefish :)) I thought this would match his brash energy and spunky attitude and nature, but suggest his defensiveness since they only inflate when under distress since in the game he’s just a kid trying to survive.

I also hope you don’t mind these extra notes exploring some of his anatomy, since I find porcupinefish anatomy really fun and interesting to try and incorporate into a merperson’s.

Some notes:

Léon has really strong jaws and fused teeth like that of a real porcupinefish, and he’ll be willing to eat just about anything with a shell or spikes. His inner mouth is also roughly textured so he doesn’t get hurt by sharp shards and can better filter those out

On that note, urchins are a particular favorite of his. His hands and palms are roughly textured too to handle sharp items and better crush shells.

His flesh and organs are toxic, but he can’t inject poison into others

Most merfolk in my au only have 2 pairs of gill slits for respiration, but Léon (and by extension other merfolk that inflate in self defense) has a large, third pair in order to intake water quickly for that purpose.

His underbelly is lacking in spines specifically so when he becomes defensive, he can curl in and hug himself while he inflates, and his back is protected since his spines stick out that way. He has to be careful with how he positions his arms still because he has jabbed himself with his own spines before.

His spines are modified scales, not spines from his actual bone !!

Porcupine fish need to file their teeth down pretty frequently and like to take exploratory bites out of just about anything, and have been known to take bites out of anemones, so when he meets Arno and Arno lets him stay at his home with a bunch of anemones, some ground rules need to be put into place lmaooo

I hope you like these !!
