kinda cool how in season one eleven escapes the lab thinking she's the monster & in season four eleven escapes the lab again knowing she never was and that none of what happened was ever her fault.

and how in season two she goes on a journey to figure out part of her past and is told by another of the lab's victims that she needs to find strength in pain and anger & in season four we saw that it was her mother calling her by her real, human name and telling her that she loved her that gave her enough strength to overpower evil and banish it from their dimension, not the hurt and rage she felt at her being taken away. and that again, she was able to perform a miracle and bring her friend back to life by thinking of the love she showed her and the way she had always treated her like she was a human being.

she and her story are just really cool, methinks.

tav shri’iia is THE canon for me obvi but I also really like the idea of tav wren with yves still being part of the dead three as bhaal’s chosen. the thing with wren is that he was yves’ childhood friend who was pursuing his bard career and severely flopping. one night when he was supposed to escort yves home from the graveyard he chose to perform in some tavern instead, and that night is when the bhaalists came and killed her. for him, one of his closest friends just went missing the night he was supposed to look after her, and when she returns 2 weeks later all beaten up and bloody with no memory of herself ofc he felt guilty….! and he couldn’t even bear to look at her because it’s all his fault u know … if only he didn’t ditched her maybe this wouldn’t have happened so one night he just decides to leave bc he couldn’t take it anymore. it’s always been his dream to be a travelling bard anyway and maybe his career will pick up in some other city than baldur’s gate, so he leaves her and his home and sets out to salvage what he can of his career. and in the most part he was mildly successful. he also ends up making a pact with some fae and they help with his bard career too lol but the guilt of yves is still in his mind- he just got better at ignoring it.

SO. imagine his surprise when he gets tadpoled and goes to moonrise to find a cure and he sees his friend - the girl that’s been haunting his dreams and the source of his guilt and shame - a part of the evil cult that’s been enslaving people with parasites. and now he’s meant to kill her? but how could he when he’s the one who left her behind and maybe it’s his fault that she turned out like this … but anyway I love the idea of wren being like noooo that’s NOT yves she would never do that!! and they’re just like girl ur delusional ur friend is literally chopping people up forcing us to find the parts like some treasure hunt

Elgaladwen

Father name: Silmëhareth / Elgaladwen

Mother name: Lúrëalassë / Gwaewlass

Epesse: Dailalph (Given by Gallorith)

(Prefers to go by the Sindarin version of her name)

Stats:

Born in SA 3401; Begetting, December 19

Birthplace: Imladris

Race: Noldor

Occupation: Healer (formerly one of many in Elrond's house), Herbalist

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Married to Gallorith of Lothlórien (played by @sewer-princess)

Looks:

Deep black wavy hair, currently falls to her chest, but it has been both longer and shorter over the years

Very pale skin, except for her pink cheeks

Takes pains to keep her skin unblemished, so she has had no visible scars, up until recent RP, in which she now has fresh fingernail gouges down both her cheeks, which are scabbing over

Pale green eyes

Tends to wear ornate gowns and jewelry, unless more practical clothing is needed. She sometimes wears cosmetics such as kohl eyeliner, or a berry stain upon her lips

Artwork: Here, by @loremastering, here with Gallorith by @nozomi-mats, and here

Smell:

Lavender, sage, amber, myrrh 

Sound:

Voice is on the deeper side of feminine, rich, smooth

Tends to speak slowly and deliberately, rather than hastily, even when excited or angered 

Speaks many languages fluently, though her dialect may differ from what is common in some areas

Playlist here

General:

Generally good at hiding her emotions behind polite masks, though she lets her true feelings show more often when among friends

Is not a pacifist like her husband, and has no qualms with hurting those who have hurt people she loves, though she prefers mending, healing, and talking more than fighting 

Holds grudges, but hides it well

Eats no meat, and hasn't most of her life. Prefers not to harm animals, but will for survival 

Was raised to exude courtly decorum, and still tends to act in such a way in public

Favorite color is crimson, though she also enjoys deep blue, and any colors that are found in her beloved's garden 

Lived in Imladris all her life, until moving to Lothlórien to be with Gallorith 

Has traveled much, and still does on occasion, but now with Gallorith

Her parents were very proud Noldor elves, despite her grandparents probably being involved in the first kinslaying

They tried to arrange many marriages for her, always with others they considered of good lineage, but she refused them all and said she would never marry

She isn't particularly proud of her heritage herself, though it is more out of indifference than shame

She did end up marrying Gallorith, a Silvan elf, whom her parents would have likely found unsuitable- Or perhaps they'd have just been happy she was finally settling down. Either way, they sailed many years before she met him

She loves Gallorith more than all else in the world, and was surprised to feel such a way, always having thought tales of love and romance were greatly exaggerated

Has no family she's met left in Middle-earth, but does have distant cousins she doesn't know

Can read and write more languages than she can speak

Enjoys making dyes, perfumes, and other frivolous things, when not crafting tinctures and potions for healing

Heals using both the innate power that many of her people have, which seems like magic to many men, and by using practical methods, often combining the two to urge a patient's body to respond faster to herbs or medicine

Has studied anatomy extensively, mostly in elves, but a little in humans too

Enjoys learning and reading in general, so she knows much of history and general knowledge as presented in books, but healing, herbalism, and to a lesser extent, languages, are her main areas of study

Has trained with sword and staff, mainly to be able to defend herself should she be a battlefield medic, she is good with neither, though, and has little control over elements she is not directly using for healing 

Generally lived a sheltered, happy life, up until recent events

Tell me about fixed point my friend. In return I offer a monologue from one if my stage scripts, Matthew's Marvelous and Mystifying Magic Act (ironically preceding my knowledge of magic goes wrong)

Matt Thank you, to those of you who have stuck around to see the latter half of the production. We’ve had a few minor hiccups, but the show must go on, as I have to fulfil a contractual obligation to our sponsor: Wowzafresh cleaning products; scrub away your past with the all new ultra deluxe exfoliator, not safe for human use. Anyways, it seems my parents have still not arrived, though upon checking my email I’ve found that in response to the tickets I sent my mother she has sent back a link to a two year course in Accounting. Perhaps she is hoping I will one day take after my younger sister, a rather successful paralegal, in having a career she can tell her book club about and not receive condolences in return. Still, as a brief note the rabbit has been captured and safely returned to its cage and Sasha and I will be arranging a carpool after the performance to get rabies shots. I would highly encourage any of you who may have come into contact with it to do the same. Now, back to the magic!

(He is visibly startled by the smoke bomb this time, not managing to exit before it dissipates. Instead he just waits for Sasha to open the curtain.)

man i'm starting to think that you didn't find the goes wrong franchise... the goes wrong franchise found you

as a (fictional) scientific concept, the fixed point theory is a maxim of time travel that suggests that the progression of events is relatively immutable - summed up in the phrase anything that has happened will happen, and anything that will happen has happened. mainly, if a person goes back in time to do anything, whatever they do will ultimately contribute to the version of the "future" they know. vanessa speaks to this rather confusingly in the first chapter: "if she went back and time and killed her grandfather, she wouldn't cease to exist because her grandfather wasn't actually her grandfather, and this was how time was and he would always die like that. or something."

specific events are known as Fixed Points - moments in time that everything surrounds, like nails in a string, things that Cannot Be Changed, even as little bits and pieces shift and twist. most of what we know as history consists of fixed events. the shattering of the cornely drama society is also a fixed point.

this reminds us, as time travelers, that despite the freedom and adventure that comes with it, all our choices still have lasting effects - you can't go back and change it once it's happened. as a bonus, it means that the cpds didn't fuck anything up when they went to the seventies 😁

(also, it's just very important to the plot.)

thanks for the ask you're the best!!!
