i love the care you put into all your headcanons so my question would just be ... is there something you haven't shared about one of your muses yet that you want to but haven't had reason to?

i have a small brain and i've had this multi (not counting times i've remade although. it's only happened twice.) for almost exactly 5 years now and had a lot of these muses for that time so it's hard to remember which ones i haven't dumped. however,

i haven't talked much about vera + james + jun in the time travel aspect because it's really only built into james because vera and jun ended up in the present and haven't moved around at all since then while james travels quite frequently all over the place but they all have very different relationships to being displaced from their time.

vera is in a constant state of depression in the present world despite being relatively well off and living a cushy lifestyle because she's never felt like she truly belonged in modern times. also, as someone who acted in silent films, she's seen that almost all of her work and livelihood were lost to time as 90% of films made before 1929 were lost meaning that she knows full well that she left no legacy whatsoever.

jun actually slotted much better into modern time and is more at home living in the modern world than her actual time and she has a lot of freedom to follow a painting career and travel for inspiration but she is much lonelier

james never stopped moving from different times and has never been satisfied wherever he went and he continues to lose more and more of his self the more he doesn't interact with the world around him and keeps moving from one place to the next.

Give me a headcanon about one of your ocs that need more love!

       ok so i literally never talk about james because i think for a time i was worried about him getting boxed in to a “snarky sad boy anti hero” archetype but now that i’ve had time to think about him his story is very tragic because he discovered these incredible powers of traveling time and space that could take him away from his fruitless career in the past and a troubled relationship with his ex and his cousin and his other ex, but over time, he’s hopped so many times trying to find a time and place that suits him and still hasn’t found it. and the longer he jumps from dimension to dimension, the more he loses his identity to the point where he knows nothing other than wandering forward, never back.
