#and they'll try to be friendly with Willow

[thelonelyshore-if]

I need more Jay facts in a relationship with mc, how the act around mc family?

Jay tries their best to take MC's lead when it comes to their family! Of course, Jay is like......highkey the ideal person to bring home to your parents they're charming and sensible and polite as hell. But if they know MC has a strained relationship with their parents, Jay will try to be a lot more in tune with MC's feelings and will try to navigate the situation based on how MC has said they'd like to go about it.

Willow is a different story entirely. Willow and Jay's relationship is 100% dependent on how normal Willow decides to be about Jay lmao.

Any headcanons about how the mercenaries interact with a borrower?

errrm yesh aktualy 🤓

soldier: legit tries to kill them at first. LIKE THE FUCK IS THIS LITTLE THEIVING COMMIE SPY IN HIS BASE!? WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE!? makes it his mission to either kill them or take them prisoner, but eventually becomes like entrenchment for the goober. so like the borrower will be like sneaking away from the kitchen and then they'll hear this mf LEGGING IT AT MAXIMUN SPEED DOWN THE HALL. kinda like tom and jerry shenanigans. dw they always turn out ok :)

pyro: OMG A TINY LITTLE BUDDY LETS FUCKING GOOO!!! will instantly try to make contact with them without realising how terrifying it is in their perspective. chases them around the base kind of like soldier but with no malicious intent. eventually realises that they might be scaring the poor thing so stops chasing them. kind of like engie, they'll make these crude little cardboard houses slathered in glitter glue and stickers and make a little city in their room. absolutely ecstatic when they see borrower in one of the houses, but this time keeps their cool and just observes, giggling and kicking their legs. the borrowers just gonna play along and then they can go home- oh shit wait the giant gas mask guy set up a fucking tea party??? oh fuck yea dude, SUGAR COOKIES HORAYYYYY!!!

heavy: he wouldn't. he'd be too scared to. big man + little person? not a chance in hell. he'd probably keep his distance away rom them, pretending he never saw them. will probably leave leftovers out for them though cus he feels bad. if they're lucky, freshly cooked meals.

engineer: thinks he's going bonkers at first when stuff starts to go missing in his workshop. isn't too fond of the whole "borrowing" schlick, but he can understand. would build like little hideouts and dens for them and hide them around the base. purposely leave some spare screws, nuts, bolts, wire around the floor so that they dont have to parkour up to his desk or something. if he's friendly with them he'll just give em a wave, Mabey invite him over to his desk for some coffee and a break. then send 'em off with a bag full of supplies.

demoman: dawg his childhood fantasies just came true. his mother used to read him stories involving tiny people like elfs, pixies, Gulliver's travels, willow whisps, and borrowers. he'd be enamoured with them, but of course knows to keep his distance, he knows how frightened the wee things can get. he'd be as gentle as he possibly could when holding one though, letting them make the first move, and then scream internally when holding one.

medic: oh honey i dont even need to explain. you KNOW its instantaneous death. or trapped in the experimental cum jar. OR TAXIDERMIED!

sniper: probably thinks their just a weird looking cockroach so he'd try and spray them with pesticide or turn them into a kebab with his huntsman. once he figured it out though, he'd probably just shoo them away and to piss off. if he's chill with 'em though he'd probably handle them like a pet hamster or a rat. scoop them up off the floor into his pocket like "c'mon we're goin' to maccas". its like that one cat that hangs around your neighbourhood that you're chill with.

sorry didn't know what to do for scout and spy hun :(

Villareal Household: Chapter 4, Part 7

Dealing with the addition of a baby can be challenging, twins even more so. Luna has been struggling but luckily she has a wife and in-laws who understand and are happy to help.

TW Deals with postpartum depression

I would consider apologising for the length of this chapter but, Devin's not wrong when she claims to be my first favourite. Plus I'm still not over infants adorableness. Anyway quick part to finish with family visits and library trips.

Friday! After some playing with blocks the boys are moved to the lounge where they smile, coo and babble to each other. Once Devin and Luna are ready for the day, Devin checks in.

Devin: how are we bambinos

Rilian: coo la ba

Alfred: *giggles*

Devin: Who wants to play peek-a-boo

Rilian: *sniffles*

Devin: Don't worry caro, I know you don't like it but your brother might

Alfred: *is worried*

Devin: Where is mama

Alfred: *concerned*

Devin: Here I am!

Alfred takes a few seconds to process what just happened. Upon reflection he enjoyed it, and Devin gets both a smile and a giggle.

Quick photoshoot. You can see here that the boys have their teeth coming in. It's good to take time to capture the memories while they're this tiny as they'll grow up soon enough.

Devin: Buongiorno pa

Aaron: What's this

Devin: Lu and I took some photos and thought you might like your copies in person

Aaron: You're right cara. Gosh they are getting big

Devin: Tell me about it, the downy haired days are over

Rilian: *fusses*

Devin: Hold on pa, just have to-

Aaron: Be a mama?

Luna: Thank you for coming to check on me yesterday

Calista: Not a problem

Luna: We thought you might like some photos

Calista: Of bambinos? Always

Alfred: *fusses*

Luna: Sorry about him

Calista: How are you today

Luna: Coping

Calista: One day it wont seem so hard

Luna: I hope so

Deanna: Which one is this

Devin: This piccolo is Rilian

Deanna: The cautious one, no wonder he looks freaked

Devin: Hey now caro, it's okay. This is your zia Deanna and she is very friendly

Deanna: Hey piccolo, can we be friends

Rilian: *giggles*

Devin: See, she's not scary is she? No she's not

Another reason we're in Willow Creek is that Luna needs to use an archive machine at the library for work. Devin has brought the mats for the boys and they begin playing. Suddenly Alfred feels confident and pushes himself up on all fours. He has unlocked the creep milestone!

Luna cheers Alfred on while Devin plays with Rilian before putting him on the mat. Once put down he immediately has a crisis. He loves being held and mama put him down, in a strange place to boot. It's not fair! He does manage to compose himself and have some playtime though.

Back home Joey pops around for a visit while Devin works with Rilian on tummy time.

Joey: Sup fam

Luna: Hey there

Alfred: bo la gan dua

Joey: What a wordsmith

Alfred: *smiles and stares*

Joey: Why is he looking at me like that

Luna: He does that, we have to try not take it personally

Joey: right

Devin: He's just a smiley boy, you know, when he's not bawling his eyes out

Joey: Of course sis

Devin: Oh! Rilian is doing it! Come on caro

Luna: Is that all fours

Joey: Looks like it

Devin: *proudly* Both our boys know how to creep

Luna: Should we babyproof the door yet

Devin: Maybe just the front one

Joey appreciation post! He cleaned up and brought the washing in! Brother of the year. Devin meanwhile had to nap in her room. While the lullabies station might lull infants to sleep it appears adults can't sleep with it going... Even though she likes lullaby music...

Devin: Who's ready for some more snacks

Rilian: *chuckles*

Luna: I'm in the middle of this lesson plan

Devin: Don't worry Lu, I got it

Luna: Thanks, eat up darlings

Devin: Let's try... whatever they've called these things

[All I can think is 🎶pop pop peanut butter butter pops, pop pop pop em in your mouth, POP🎶]

Alfred tucks in and smoshes his everywhere like normal. Rilian remains unsure.

Devin gets the boys to bed and Luna feels up to kissing them goodnight before heading to sleep herself. That's it for the Villareals at the moment, Devin is slowly gaining fame from her acting and Luna is working through her postpartum depression.

Previous Part ... Next Part (Foster)

[lawusstuffs]

Welcome to Swap! Lumity AU, i hope you guys enjoy this :")

This post will have 2 categories, the canon ☑️ and not canon ⭕. I mostly made their habit and stuff to be canon whilst some of my lore about them is not canon, it can be changed and stuff ^^

Swap! Luz Noceda

Canon ☑️

-Potion Coven still.

-Unlike Canon Amity, Swap Luz is rather quiet, not really trying to be the number one student. Though she tends to be a snob and ignorant (or so what they say)

-Swap Luz only dyed her hair to look like Hecate's hair colour.

-Unlike Canon Amity, Swap Luz tends to ignore Amity. Though Amity just kept accidentally stumbling upon her, making Luz annoyed by how friendly Amity is.

-Luz is rather smart. She used to be the head captain of the Grudgby Test (can't think of a creative name for an intelligence contest stuff xd), she left after Willow and her team was assumed to be cheating after Luz attempted that one scene in Hecate series, making them lose.

-Unlike Canon Amity, Swap Luz teaches children about sports. Making them practice and give them tips and tricks. Amity saw this and pretended to be a bench when the kids left, Luz saw her still-

-Swap Luz has a secret basement in under one of the bleachers of the sport field. It got the usual desk, some sport equipments, and most importantly, her diary and Hecate books.

-Swap Luz seems to be alot slower at reacting, taking a bit of a time to know what's going on before having a reaction. An example is Amity complimenting her, she'd freeze first, before her fwip fwip would come in.

-Though despite being slow mentally and emotionally, Luz is surprisingly accurate and quick when it comes to playing sports.

-Swap Luz is quiet because she struggles in socializing, she looks menacing enough for the other witches to leave her alone. She felt lonely but she can't do anything about it.

-Swap Luz has better connection with children compare to her age and above.

-Her struggles in socializing make her run away from people. An example is bumping onto someone and her not knowing how to help and what to do, making her flee the scene.

-Though during her inner panicking, she gives out menacing look towards the said someone. Making witches have a rumour about her being this ignorant and snobby witch.

-Unlike Canon Amity, Luz doesn't have abusive parents (by that i meant Odalia Alador style). But rather a busy one (let's just say neglectful), this is one of the causes that made Luz quiet and have social struggles.

-When having fwip fwip, Swap Luz would lift her hood up, covering her ears and face. Just enough for Amity to not see it.

-Swap Luz is alot taller compare to Amity, both canon and swap wise. She's basically just a big strong awkward cinnamon bun bun.

-She has two siblings, Vee and Hunter. The two are rather close but felt really disconnected towards Luz. But after awhile, they'll slowly connect because of Amity.

Swap! Amity Blight

Canon ☑️

-All Coven

-Unlike Canon Luz, Swap Amity has a proper social life and did not get sent to a summer camp.

-Her cause of accidentally getting in the Boiling Isles is her, running away from her parents. The amount of expectation and such pressured her so much, she packed her bag and ran away, with also her favourite series, Witch Hecate, being with her.

-Swap Amity is fashionable and really likes aesthetic classic clothing.

-Unlike Canon Luz, Swap Amity is more cautious. She can be skeptical on some things and not easily fooled unless she sees an evidence. An example of this is the Wizard's "prophecy", she's not interested until she witnessed the scroll's magic scroll effect.

-Swap Amity learnt fireball glyph first. Which is a reference to how Canon Amity learnt her fire magic for the first time.

-Swap Amity doesn't have a biological sibling, as for Edric and Emira is swapped with Hunter and Vee.

-She usually initiates first, but would crumble if Luz initiated first. She's a glass canon to say.

Swap! Luz's Perspective Scenarios

Not canon, can be used as an idea ⭕

-Amity saw her after Luz and Boscha accidentally bumped each other, Boscha being knocked off because of how strong the bump is. Luz just looked at her with a cold gaze before leaving, making Amity went to Boscha and help her up.

-Unlike Canon Amity, her biggest fright is Amity abandoning her, not rejecting her. Because of how Swap Luz tend to be alot slower at understanding her feelings, she did not know that she fell in love with Amity. But she is scared of Amity abandoning her like how her dad did to her.

-Swap Luz realized she's inlove with Amity after the grom. She became alot fidgety and awkward around Amity during the Grudgby Test.

-Unlike Canon Amity, Swap Luz was just quiet, letting out mumbles and very stuttery words before covering her head with her hoodie and running away.

-As the series progress, Luz would slowly open up to Amity, making her feel alot confident and talkative. Though she's very protective towards Amity.

-Her face before looked stone cold, but after falling inlove, her face looked alot softer. Tamed looking even. Many witches noticed this after Swap Amity and Luz got together.

Swap! Amity's Perspectives Scenarios

Not canon, can be used as an idea ⭕

-She encountered the house when it started raining hard during her escape from her home, she saw the abandoned house, entered it, and hence the start of her adventure with Lilith being Amity's teacher.

-Swap Amity and Boscha became friends after the bump incident, Amity asking to sneak in the school to take glimpse of it.

-During the children sport scene, after being found by Luz and left her, Swap Amity encountered Vee and Hunter also hiding in one of the benches.

-The reason: Vee and Hunter trying to gain information for their anti-social sister so that they could have sibling bonds together.

-Swap Amity, wanting to also befriend Luz, agreed upon gaining information and hence the start of finding her diary.

-Swap Amity started feeling guilty as soon as they got the diary, making her not give it to Vee and Hunter. Due to desperation of the siblings, they had a fight for it and it made some pages fell off, like in Canon, Swap Luz found them and got mad.

-Though unlike the Canon, Swap Amity chased after Luz and apologized to her, Luz accidentally saying something dumb, this made Swap Amity laugh. Telling Luz how interesting she is.

And that's all for the Swap! Lumity Lore!

I noticed that i accidentally made a lore about it so i stopped before i could even finish it to season 2 xd

Though if requested, I'll try and start adding characters too like Willow, Boscha, Gus, Hunter etc. Once this is posted, I'll try and make another poll in around 2 days or so xd

Collector's Curse AU - Liar Revealed

I'm typing all of this out on my phone because I don't have a computer anymore.  Pray for me.

Anyway.  After rotating this issue in my brain for a few weeks, I’ve decided how I want to reveal the Collector to the other characters.  Remember when I talked about all that mindscape stuff?  That’s the plan now.

I don't have an exact time in mind, but let's just say somewhere in season 2a.  In my journal I wrote somewhere between Yesterday's Lie and Elsewhere and Elsewhen.  I don't remember why I wanted that specific range but yeah sure.

The exact situation I have in mind: during an unspecified event someone is suddenly under threat of falling debris.  Who it is doesn't really matter, but it's someone who cannot immediately defend themselves against falling debris.  So really anyone except Willow and Amity.  In an act of reckless desperation, Luz throws herself in front of them and the Collector uses their power to neutralize the threat.  However this happens, it's enough of a strain to put them out of commission.

For a while people around Luz have been noticing odd behaviors and occurrences, and this one is the final nail in the coffin. They had a good view of the entire thing, and they saw Luz use magic - powerful magic - without the help of glyphs.  There's no denying now that something's going on.  So why does she keep trying to do exactly that?

They get to worrying that Luz is being manipulated somehow.  Luz isn't always the most open about her struggles, but it's getting a little ridiculous at this point.  What if something, some force they can't see, is keeping her quiet somehow?  They're in the Boiling Isles, it's not like it's a huge reach.  So, after considerable consideration, they hatch a plan to go right to the source - Luz's mindscape.  If something is wrong, they'll surely find it there.

As far as who actually enters the mindscape, Amity and Gus are a definite, and Willow is a maybe.  If Willow goes in then we have her and Amity working together, and I'm not sure how that would affect their arc.  Also, either Eda or Lilith goes in with the kids.  As long as they have two adults on the premises, there's no reason to not have a chaperone.  I can see benefits to either one being on either end, so that's still up in the air.

They take the walkie talkie to have a constant line of communication on both ends.  The spells are prepared beforehand, and the second Luz falls asleep it's go time.

I've already described what happens when they enter Luz's mindscape.  In short, everything looks fine and normal until they find the inner Luz, who's looking a little jacked.  Just like the outer Luz, the inner Luz is evasive, but eventually relents, realizing there's no way out.  The group is led to the split between the two mindscapes and told that beyond the split is where they'll find what they're looking for.  She refuses to elaborate any further, citing that they chose to enter the mindscape, so they can figure it out themselves.

As a final note, the inner Luz tells them that Luz will be mad at them for doing this, but that she understands why.

With only the inner Luz's cryptic descriptions to guide them, they make their way into the strange new mindscape.  There they meet the inner Collector.  He is significantly less friendly.

Unbeknownst to them, all their running and hiding actually does them a huge disservice.  Not knowing their identities, the Collector reacts to them as unfamiliar intruders (plus, if they're in his mind that means they initially invaded Luz's).  Which is to say, he quickly becomes hostile.  He only realizes the identities of the intruders at the very last second, and at that point they're leaving and it's far too late to rectify his mistake.

Luz wakes up the second they get out of there.  As the inner Luz says, she is very displeased.  She knows her friends were worried but what the heck guys you can't just waltz on into someone's head.

They apologize and don't blame Luz for being upset.  They didn't need the inner Luz to know she would be.

But now that they've seen first hand what's really in there, there's no longer any way out for Luz.  She needs to come clean.  So come clean she does.

What does Plum's Pokémon think about Peach and Grey and vice versa?

Plums only got two mons currently.

Meowth, Alolan form, called Willow. An old family pet who does not fight, nor really help in any way, she likes to lie around and eat, do as little as possible, loves Plum to death, complained when she went away, so her fam let her take the pokemon with her to Dotaku. Willow hates Peach. will swipe at her given the chance, ignores her, is generally unkind and vicious with the professor. This does not bother peach, she's never been keen on cat mons at all, so she simply doesn't interact with it very much, to avoid the nasty scratches it dishes out. Val hates Willow too, the two are usually glaring at each other.

Willow likes Grey however, and will on rare occasion spend time watching what he's doing. Grey is indifferent to her presence, she tends to cause problems and get in the way, but he's gentle as ever to her regardless, and applies his usual brand of patience to her care. Then theres Missy, the Dragonair, she really enjoys Peach, they bonded in the ranger academy, and she never forgot it. Upon arriving at the island for the first time, Missy sensed Peach and bolted for her instantly. The professor recognised Missy despite evolution, before she recognised Plum. The two work well together, have weird chats that are a lot of body language more than actual words. Dragons work like that, peach knows it, does her best to learn it.

Missy is kind of real jolly, but has a little nervousness with Grey, not huge but sometimes she'll shy away from him, perhaps its his stature, or an energy, but he's nothing but kind to her, and with time perhaps they'll find a healthy way to bond more.

Greys lot are well adjusted, he's trained them well and taught them to be kind and patient. All of them like Plum, EXCEPT Harley, who's a pain in the butt and doesn't really like anyone, hardly likes Peach let alone this new comer.

Peach's lot are a mix bag, she's got some fussy mons. Notably Val and Boadicea do NOT like Plum. Val wont let her near her, walks off, huffs, glares, is generally...well actually totally on brand for Val, she doesn't like to be handled. Boa doesn't like Plums drgaonair, not the smell of it, not the behaviour of it, not its personality, doesn't like sharing her trainer with it, and in turn, with Plum. The ranger is timid with flight, something Boa loves more than anything, so she's kind of useless in her eyes. She's not hostile to Plum, but certainly not friendly either. It's a behaviour Peach is trying to sort out.

The rest all like her, she's well adjusted with many species, except bugs. This causes some issues, as Peach has A LOT of bug partners knocking around, and does indeed love the type set a lot.

[anguigenus]

Okay, I just thought about something that I think is interesting.

THEORY TIME!

I think now that there's witches in the human realm, this Jacob Hopkins curator from Yesterday's Lie will come back. I mean, he's got a security camera in and possibly around that house that has the portal and he's bound to have seen something from when they entered.

My prediction is that the gang will discuss what they've learned about Belos in the first part of the first 44 minute long episode. Luz is also eventually going to have to tell them about how Belos is a witch hunter and came from the human realm.

Luz then remembers and mentions the history museum that Jacob works at and decides to go in search of further information about Philip and Caleb, however they have to keep a low profile. Jacob will run into them and he'll recognize them from his videotape.

Some stuff will happen, but I think there's two ways this can go:

Jacob will either be an outright villain this time, but Luz and co. will defeat him somehow and get more info about the history of witches and also Phillip and Caleb.

Or maybe Gus, Luz, and the others will strike a deal with him so that they can both learn about each other's worlds, but Jacob has to keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone. This will also lead to more information about the history, magic, and the Whittebane brothers.

Either way, the main point here is that I think they'll learn something significant from this guy since he's their only lead that can possibly help them get back home and lead into the next episodes.

To me I think it sounds the most likely that the first episode will lean into this. I mean it makes sense to bring back a character that knows about the demon realm a bit.

And who knows, maybe if it goes the route of them making a deal with him, maybe he'll have a small character development and see them and by extension the rest of the boiling isles as not so bad after all. Or just become slightly friendly yet annoyed with them.

I also think there's some parallels between Jacob and Gus:

Gus is a witch obsessed with the human realm.

The curator Jacob, is a human with an obsession for the demon realm.

Maybe if the plot goes to the second route with the deal, maybe they'd strike one because they both have a common goal: to save their own realm.

If I remember correctly, Jacob said he saw himself as a good guy in yesterday's lie.

Gus would also want to protect those he left behind in the boiling isles like his dad. Or Eda, King, and Willow's dads.

Maybe it'd be a mutual agreement to have them learn about each other's realms for the greater good or something?

Also, I think Gus did say in "Hunting Palismen" that he wants to be a human ambassador to the human realm, so maybe something will happen between these two sharing their interests in each other's realms or something similar.

But this is just a theory.

Also sorry if this is long, my mind was in theory mode. I came up with this really fast.

If the first episode doesn't go anywhere near this direction, I'll be honest, I'll be surprised as I can't think of any other way it'll go down.

Oooh, yeah I like this line of thought. After all, if Vee was running into him I don’t see how six witches running wild wouldn’t!

For how they run into him… I think there are two main possibilities. Actually, I think it’ll depend what gooplos does. (Gooplos being the Belos sludge we saw at the end of the credits in that finale)

First option: gooplos starts trying to reform, eating squirrels and stuff for nutrients. Here, the kids would be able to play to Jacob’s hero ego and have him help them out. Stuff like “oh, there’s an alien trying to invade, help us find stuff so we can beat the alien and seal the portal they’re trying to come through.” (Of course this would require disguises and lying to him about specifics but that just makes stuff fun :3)

Second option: gooplos gets Jacob on his side. This’d probably be more of a parasitic thing. Belos sludge mind controls him somehow, or maybe acting more as a voice in the ear telling him Luz’s friends are witches so he’lol do what Belos wants. Then Luz and Co. have to try and avoid him while gathering info like what you said!

Also the parallel you said with Gus and Jacob is interesting. I feel like Jacob is someone where that interest has turned into an unhealthy obsession, but Gus doesn’t exactly have a problem with human stuff in the same way, so I don’t see him acting as a foil/example.

If they do end up allying with Jacob, maybe his knowledge of human history in the are would be interesting for Gus to talk to him about though! One idea I’ve seen floating around is how this would be the worst possible introduction for Gus to the human world: his first rain being so tragic, seeing Philip’s memories of witch hunters, meeting Jacob, etc. However, Gus does want to be an ambassador to the human realm. This could be an opportunity for him to see humanity in a more complete way than just the idealized version he’s pieced together from artifacts.

Yes, there were witch hunters in the past. Humans hurt people, are hateful. But so are witches; Gus has seen that much. And just like with witches, there are humans that are better and that will help the people that are being hunted down. Actually, I haven’t watched the ep in a while but I think Jacob was pretty supportive of witch hunters. Maybe that’s something where they’re troubled to see Jacob so supportive, but then it’s a comfort to find out that nearly everyone else thinks the witch hunts were horrible.

Quick tangent actually: I don’t think Jacob’s ever going to be entirely a good guy. Again, I haven’t watched the ep in a bit, but his head is full of conspiracies and he was only thinking of Vee as something to be dissected. This isn’t the Boiling Isles either, where dissection as punishment for sneaking into a school doesn’t seem out of place. Maybe he’ll get a redemption arc where he realizes witches are people too, but I feel like that’s more a last-second twist than where he starts the special.

Anyways back to Gus! I like the idea of this first special being somewhere we get to see his human interest coming in. Here’s the best opportunity he’ll have in a while to get a head start on being a human ambassador, and I’d imagine he’s going to want something to keep his mind off of that last finale.

Luz showing him human stuff, him learning about human history and culture, Camila showing him human cooking! And even if he does learn about the darker parts of humanity, I think it’ll just end up making him more determined to be an ambassador. It’ll feel less like a fantasy, more like an actual, necessary job.

But yeah to go back to what you were saying, I definitely agree that Jacob feels like someone that’ll show up again. I’m looking forward to seeing what the show does with this first special and the human realm!

KIRBY OC TAKEOVER!

Brief descriptions of everyone involved below the cut.

Ravioli is a kirby who does almost nothing but fish, whether it is by himself or with whoever passerby may arrive. Awfully deadpan but despite that, Juno sees him as father figure of sorts.

Juno meanwhile is Halcandran that once was a part of the Jambranda religion but left after the birth and destruction of Void Termina. Travels to various worlds to find documents and the like, but ended up settling (kinda) on Pop Star. Alternates between traveling and idling with Ravioli.

Ladybug Knight is a knight who uses ribbons and a chakram to compliment their dance fighting style. Often is cocky, but knows when to give up a battle. Despise all of that, they'll always prioritize the safety of the universe, trying to make sure it is always safe.

Lastly, Willow. An ancient who is most likely alive, he created the Love-Love Stick and sealed Galaxia within the sword of the same name. To strangers, he seems vaguely hostile and threatening, but when one interacts with him, he's quite the friendly figure. Though, he is relatively scared considering his past actions.

Willow: The Basics

Tw: Under the cut/readmore topics such as bugs (maggots), self/harm (during hallucinatory episodes), and sexual manipulation (Predeviancy) will be discussed. There are also censored reference photos. Stick to the area above to avoid that.

Species: Android

Height: 5'4

Pronouns: They/them

Sexuality: Pansexual

Created: May 2034

Deviated: October 31, 2035

Quick Notes:

• Michael had named Willow Angelica, often calling them his angel, they changed their name to Willow shortly after deviating

• They also hate angel's because of this, would not recommend using that as a pet name unless you want to upset them

• Because of how they deviated it is very hard for them to trust someone enough to repair them, if they do let someone repair them the circumstances are likely to be extreme

• Due to the amount of damage they've sustained, both self-inflicted and by others, their self healing program is barely functioning

• While they are still durable and can take a hit, they recover much slower than previously

• As of 2038 they live in the Junkyard, after the revolution pretty much any android there is dead. Willow see's the lack of life as a sign of safety, even if they are very lonely

• Although they're skittish, Willow is far too friendly for their own good. They can also be very gullible

• Willow doesn't quite grasp that stealing is wrong, only that stealing certain items are wrong. They don't steal to be malicious, they just assume it's ok if the item is either abundant or appears to be abandoned

• If told not to steal they are likely to take it as "Don't steal this particular item."

• They do not like being approached from the right as they can't see due to the missing eye

• The damage under their clothes is just as severe, if not more, than the damage to their face.

• While they don't want to be violent, there are situations where they'll feel there's no choice. They carry a switchblade for their own safety

• On the off chance that they kill someone, the memory files of the incident have and will corrupt for the sake of their own sanity. It's worth noting that they will continously try and fail to open the memory files as they badly want to know what happened.

• Will occasionally crack jokes, they're still learning humor and this tends to adapt to the people they hang around

• Will hide wherever they deem safe before going into stasis, usually in closes spaces at the junkyard

• Voicebox is severely damaged, causing their voice to sound distorted when they speak

• Created as a female android, has fully functional genitalia but they are non-binary

• Has never interfaced, isn't even sure what it is beyond android's holding hands and deactivating their skin programs

• They have no cooking program, but they were taught a small amount of recipes that their ex owner and his college aged daughter (Monica) wanted Willow to know

• They will sometimes try to avoid answering certain questions if they're uncomfortable

• Michael (ex owner) hade Willow's sense of touch made to be as close to human as possible. They feel chronic pain from their injuries

• They are highly susceptible to cold due to the open wounds allowing air exposure to their bio components. If their temperature drops too low they will be forced into stasis

Summary:

Willow is a custom made android created for their ex owner Michael with the intended purpose of being a fancy Halloween decoration. Before the Revolution he was well known for his increasingly horrofic Haunted Houses, gaining fame for his use of android's and how realistically their responses to stimuli, most notably fear, were.

To make everything more authentic feeling he would pay to have custom android's built to his liking, only giving them the program's he felt they'd need.

For Willow this means that they were built without the ability to scan, communicate through their mind, or use search functions to look things up. Michael intended for them to be entirely reliant on him. As a result they're as naïve as they are curious.

One perk they do have is their durability. Having become annoyed with how easily the previous android's shutdown during the deviation process, Michael had Willow built for durability. This is a huge reason Willow has yet to succumb to the damage they've sustained.

He also had them built with a feature that'd force them into an Emergency Stasis if they were to begin to self-destruct, after deviation this feature keeps them alive during hallucinatory episodes.

Willow's Deviation:

From May 2034 to October 30, 2035 Willow lived with Michael, his college aged daughter Monica, and a few miscellaneous android's, blissfully ignorant as to what their intended purpose was. While weren't deviant, there were feelings of love. They had been led to believe that Michael cared for them as someone would a spouse. It's worth noting that he had installed Willow with sexual programs for his own perverted reasons, naturally Willow had gotten the wrong idea. Michael, however, was not about to correct them as he was well aware that the emotional whiplash would only aid in the deviation process. Which he saw more as damaged coding than actual sentience.

To cause Willow to deviate Michael had created several open wounds, burning the edges of the wounds to ensure the damage would heal as little as possible.

This was also to create as much pain as possible, as with each android Michael had continuously worked to make their sense of touch as strong as possible, both inside and out.

Once that was done he filled the wounds with rotten meat and maggots, locking them in a cage as a prop for the Haunted House.

He also installed metal wings to play up the angel aesthetic, these were ripped out when Willow met Kelli

Normally, early the next morning, Michael would put the android out of it's misery if it survived the night, but Monica, having begun to question if these reactions were really just broken coding, took pity on Willow and allowed them to escape.

After deviating Willow suffers from hallucinatory episodes where they believe the maggots are still inside of them. It is essentially bits of the memory replaying, overtime it began to spread much like a virus until they could see/feel the maggots on areas of their body that hadn't been harmed when they deviated.

During these episodes they attempt to dig the maggots out, usually with the switchblade they often carry, the episode will not end until they're forced into Emergency Stasis. During these episodes, if someone approaches them, Willow will likely perceive them as a threat or as Micheal himself. They are very likely to attack someone during this time.

Maybe do landscape for chaedi and willow too

Man... landscapes :)

Chaedi is a forest. Willow is the ocean

Chaedi is a forest

The forest is welcoming, with many deciduous and coniferous trees. The forest is loud with life, from the birds in the canopies to the bugs on the flowers. Deer are commonly spotted, as are quail and others of the type. They are not quite friendly, but they are patient. It is a wonderful lively forest.

You cannot lie to the woods.

Oh, the forest welcomes travelers. There are paths throughout the forest, leading to wonderful waterfalls and roaring rivers, languid lakes and climbing cliffs. Some trails offer campsites, but the rule is set. Stay on the path.

You cannot lie to the woods.

So let's say, you're hiking your path and you think, "why?"

You think, "why can't I go off the path? I have traveled this forest so often, it is like the back of my hand! Surely these swaths of land without trails must mean for more lovely views!"

And so, with a quick look around. You step off the path.

You could have stayed on the trails, yknow. The forest loves those who walk its trails, who see its views. It loves the way the children gasp at a butterfly, or tell stories as they travel along.

There are carnivores in these woods.

The forest gets darker the further you go, and the sounds begin to fade. Any other person would have done the rational thing and gone back to the path, maybe take the ticket they deserve, and go home. Sleep in their bed, and dream about the woods and be content.

But not you. You had to be curious, and as the sounds of the trails fade, your curiosity will be rewarded. You continue to walk and search for these hidden splendors you were so sure of. The woods are so dark, it could be night, but you're so certain you are correct that self preservation doesn't kick in for a second. You're happy and content exploring these unseen areas.

Until you hear the twig snap behind you. And you look, and make eye contact with the wolf .

And you run, oh you run, as fast as you can, but the wolves are faster. They know these woods, they know your secrets, and they know how to outsmart you. You run run run, until eventually, you hit a wall. This wasn't the climbable cliff you knew. No, it was an unscalable wall, no ledges in reach and the sounds of many steps approaching. You apologize to the woods, beg and try to explain you went off trail on accident, you never meant any harm.

You cannot lie to the woods

Willow is an ocean.

The ocean is an uncaring entity, those are welcome to sail its waters and explore its depths. The ones on top may catch glimpses of an unknown, and the ones deep may catch more. But you can never understand the ocean.

Yes. The scientists are convinced they have it down. This causes that, and that causes this, volcanic vents and earthquakes. It is capable of an x level event when a y level tectonic shift occurs.

But that isn't understanding the ocean, that is understanding the earth it stands on.

And the ocean doesn't always follow your rules.

So when an unexpected tsunami rushes through a city, or a field suddenly floods with the power to rip up trees, it is met with shock. Why did the ocean do this? Our graphs showed that it couldn't have? We know the ocean so well

And the ocean sits calmly, and let's them study some more to see how well they understand it. And then it does it again, throwing off their data and forcing them to rethink everything.

they'll never know the ocean

They will only ever catch glimpses, for as long as they are stuck thinking the ocean plays by their rules, they can never truly understand it.
