the office objects do get a bit quirky at night...

[sapphicmemos]

Some Marya sketches to practice her beautiful face and Marya and Van doing gay shit (plus mini Olethra in the corner)

I imagine Van and Marya just doing the most random stuff and Olethra crying screaming throwing up internally because they are not only her heroes but they are also very sexy older women

[sapphicmemos]

Every interaction between van and Marya makes me crazy btw. Like every single episode we get new interactions and the familiarity in them despite not seeing each other for a while. The way van cares so deeply for Marya and the way Marya cares just as much but they present in difference ways.

The way Marya immediately says if they want her they need van. The way van says she’s loyal to the nut but if it’s her asking. The way marya insists Bert comes after it’s clear van doesn’t wanna leave him.

The way they hug after the battle, Marya not caring that van is still covered in her own and other’s blood. Marya saying she never worries when van is around. Van doing everything possible to protect Marya.

Like I DO ship them but even if I didn’t I still love their relationship and can’t wait to see how it develops

“you want me? you gotta get van”

the only thing that has gotten me emotional is the humanitarian crisis that has been happening. the humanitarian aid on their way to gaza have gotten kidnapped and there's barely been any news and posts about it and it hurts me so bad, it makes me so furious.

many people are so privilleged to live a life where we can wake up and not fear about hunger, death and rape. many people are so privileged to be angry at thy neighbour over pettiness and past scandals but not turn their attention to what is going on in the world. its sickening.

i know my main platform is on tumblr so i want to use my good will to share information about togetherness and help people understand how crucial and vital this situation is. we are so lucky to be able to just scroll past people's videos that beg us to send them money to escape.

and what gets me is that english is not their first language, there's little children teaching themselves our language to beg us to listen to them. there's babies under rubble, without their mother and father or even siblings unaware of what is happening to them. unaware that they're born into a world that barely cares about them. its unfair so unfair.

and for these past days i have been wondering what can i do? to help children and families from gaza, congo, sudan and these many countries where genocide is taking place. maybe i can open a charity? use my platform for good where at least £10-20 is sent to me and i answer mini astrology questions. so i can help these families, it might not sound a lot but i hope we can work as a group. because what we need right now is unity.

Work-in-Progress Wednesday

Just going to leave this here. . . .

Mio came to a stop in front of Zoe on the opposite side of the desk. Leaning over, she placed her palms carefully on the surface, careful not to disturb any of her notes. “Can I ask why exactly it bothers you?”

No! She almost said it aloud, too. She was grateful that she didn’t. “It… makes me uncomfortable.”

Mio’s smile turned mischievous then, and Zoe’s stomach fluttered in reaction to it. “Ever care to ask yourself why me smiling at you in admiration bothers you so much?”

“Ever care to ask yourself why you come to my room to smile at me in ‘admiration’ so much?” Zoe shot back defensively, placing her hands on the desk beside Mio’s as she pushed to her feet as well.

She stared directly back at Mio, challengingly.

Mio chuckled, eyes flickering down to Zoe’s lips. “Touché.”

Wait…. Did she just…? No. Absolutely not!

But Mio was talking again, distracting her from her own spiralling thoughts on whether or not she had started hallucinating.

“Maybe it’s because there’s a lot to admire about you,” Mio said, voice softer, though with a hint of her amusement still there as she continued. “You know, when you look past all the weird.”

“I’m weird?” Zoe questioned in bewilderment, scoffing. “I’m the weird one? Right.”

Mio hummed in affirmation as she reached forward to slide her hand over the back of Zoe’s neck, breathing out, “So weird,” as she tugged her head forward and brought their lips together.

i actually really appreciate the generic-ness of split fiction's in-universe stories. like sure, they're complete genre cliches (and we can talk about the disdain for genre stories another time for sure), really milquetoast fantasy and sci-fi fare.

but then split fiction says, that's still better than anything rader's machine could ever come up with, and the most generic, cliche stories written by human beings are still worth saving from the maw of ai. because--well, they're written by human beings, with bits of those human lives seeping in.

mio's standard-fare cyberpunk future city with ninjas has a bunch of cars and motorbikes in it because her dad was a mechanic. it has beautiful screens and buildings and graffiti and also a game of hopscotch drawn in chalk on the ground because it comes from a childhood growing up in the city. her video-game-ass invade-the-secret-lab-after-everyone-else-gets-blown-up plot comes from her desire (and inability) to save her father.

zoe's extremely conflict-averse stories (one that's almost literally "saving stray cats in the alps") come from her desire to return to her childhood with her sister, to build gentler, happier endings for someone who didn't get one. the shapeshifting comes from a love of animals. the silly farting pigs come from a kid's imagination (and coping mechanism). and i mean, i don't care how cliche you think it is, dragons are just objectively cool always.

neither zoe nor mio are, perhaps, Good Writers or Talented Writers. but they are sincere writers, and that's worth everything.

MIO & ZOE

Split Fiction (2025)

[sapphicmemos]

include black femmes in your sapphism, include Asian masc in your sapphism, include indigenous women in your sapphism, include Arab women in your sapphism, include religious women in your sapphism. The list goes on ! Many of you are so kind but it becomes increasingly apparent that your idea of lesbian diversity is a thin white girl with long brown hair and another thin white girl with long blonde hair.

IDWTBAMG CHARACTER FUN FACTS

Well, some fun facts and mostly lore or character relationship stuff. Under the cut!

AIKA

Aika became the next Star Guardian at age 13. She’s 15 now

Aika’s want to help people and relentless positivity were part of the reason she was chosen to be the Star Guardian: Guardian of the Stars in the first place. While her love for the job has fizzled out, this aspect of her character still a core part of her.

She’s very kind and gentle person but that kinda goes out the window when magical duties are brought into the equation

Her and Hoshi care about one another but their relationship is currently a bit tense. They’re usually pretty quick to make jabs at one another

She struggled to get used to the platform shoes in her magical girl outfit

She LOVES food. And her eyes are usually way too big for her stomach leading to many a food coma

Aika and her teammates worked in secret for the most part, not really being allowed to “exist in the real world”. Because of this, with the free time she had, Aika would read a lot (she’s actually very book smart)

Aika loves extreme sports and is an adrenaline junky. However, rollercoasters freak her out for some reason

Aika drags Zira into lots of new eperiences. Zira usually ends up appreciating the experiences after the fact 

Aika’s a morning person

ZIRA

Zira is smart but doesn’t apply herself in school

They have a lot of artistic interests, particularly art, music and fashion

She likes the idea of writing fanfiction in theory but writing’s sooooo much work. Any ideas she has just kinda live in her head, causing her to zone out and daydream a ton

While shy for the most part, Zira can be very blunt and isn’t necessarily a pushover

Prior to Aika, she didn’t have a lot (any) friends at school but she’s mostly content doing her own thing

They’d hang out in Miss’ classroom a lot, either to show her Moon Sailor stuff against her will or just to have lunch

Zira loves playing video games and especially loves visual novels

Zira develops a crush on Aika pretty quickly. Aika’s kindness, authenticity and bravery is inspiring to Zira. Also Aika’s the only other person her age to really give her the time of day. And also she thinks Aika’s pretty

She thinks Hoshi’s really cool and since Aika doesn’t particularly enjoy talking about her job, Zira usually goes to Hoshi for magical girl questions. Initially Hoshi doesn’t trust Zira with that information but is really flattered to have someone who looks up to them and is interested in everything they have to say. So they indulge when appropriate.

Zira’s a night owl

HOSHI

Hoshi saved Aika when she was really young and has kept her safe ever since

Hoshi and Aika started off kind of like siblings but Hoshi then became her boss, making their relationship a bit strained and more complicated

Their role as a magical mascot managerial in nature. They make Aika and her team do their jobs, follow protocol, teach them how to use their powers, keep up morale, do timecards, etc.

While Hoshi oversees this team, their responsibility is primarily to the Star Guardian

Hoshi, much like Aika, used to be really chipper and a bit more goofy but Aika’s kinda worn them down overtime

Hoshi’s not a fan of Earth, but in an effort to better understand Aika’s feelings, tries out being a human and doing Earth activities

Hoshi takes a while to get used to their human form. They’re really clumsy in it

They have a hard time making hands for their human form. Their hands are slightly different every time but equally terrifying. They eventually get better at making them though.

Hoshi doesn't use their human form too much. Most people just assume their Aika's weird pet bird

Hoshi doesn't need to eat but discovers they enjoy the act of eating

ECLIPSE

Eclipse is one of the few humans that know that Aika and the other magical girls exist

He met Aika pretty early on in her magical girl career and he was immediately enamored with her

Since finding about magical girls, he’s obsessively tried keeping track of them, leading him to start acting out in order to get their attention. They only really care because he knows their secret and they play along

He and Devoid made his current outfit together. DeVoid wanted to make it black but Eclipse was set on making it very bright and showy

Eclipse currently resides with DeVoid. He gets on her nerves sometimes but they both do care about each other

Eclipse is a pretty good cook 

Eclipse isn’t particularly hateful but he’s really got beef with Zira for some reason

It’s hard to tell if Eclipse is really in love with Aika or if he just loves the concept of their nonexistent relationship

Eclipse has a lovely singing voice

His real name is Elio

LADY DeVOID

DeVoid was banished to space by a Star Guardian. For a LONG time she lived (unconsciously) as a sort of celestial being that would spit out monsters that the Star Guardians for many generations would have to face. While not ideal it was better than fighting DeVoid before she got to full power.

DeVoid finally wakes up in the present timeline, with no memories other than being banished by a Star Guardian and wanting revenge and knowing that she’s supposed to be able to create monsters. Unfortunately for her, she doesn’t remember how to use her powers. She doesn’t even remember her name, so she came up with “Lady DeVoid”

DeVoid loves human reality TV. Specifically competition shows. She loves how petty and evil people become

Reality TV is where most of her knowledge of humans comes from

Though DeVoid is pretty stoic, her ears are very expressive

DeVoid taught Eclipse how to do his makeup

She really likes Eclipse’s cooking

When she’s out and about she’s usually wearing sunglasses because it’s simply too bright for her

DeVoid does have to work a normal job in the human world and simply goes by “Dee”

People rarely question her appearance (because that’s just rude). But when people do ask what’s up with her horns she just says “it’s a condition” and that’s usually enough for people to just end the convo there.

MISS

Miss loves her job more than anything. She’s a very accomplished teacher and takes a lot of time to make sure all of her students succeed

Miss cares about Zira a lot. Always staying in her classroom just in case Zira wants to stop by for lunch, giving her advice or giving her extra tutoring as needed 

Because of Zira, Miss has become a closet Moon Sailor fan

Though Aika’s just started attending school, she and Miss have bonded quite a bit. Aika’s positive disposition and cheeriness bring Miss a lot of joy

Miss keeps her personal life (not that she really has one) out of work but finds herself opening up a little more than she’d like to Aika and Zira

Miss used to get really antsy during summer breaks, leading her to start teaching summer school to fill the time

Her workaholic nature was the reason for her and her ex-wife’s divorce

Miss has gone on one date since her divorce. The idea of having starting over is exhausting to her so she’s mostly okay just being single

Miss doesn’t really like coffee but she drinks a lot of it out of necessity

Miss has a ton of tattoos

i love looking at different people playing split fiction bc at one point there was a certain side story they were in and i was like “???is this flirting? they are flirting right?”
