going quietly
estelle kelley has visions. unthankfully she’s gotten used to them
Estelle opened her eyes slowly. She knew exactly where she was…or rather, she knew where she wasn’t, and that was home. The scene in front of her was like something from a dream; cold and inhospitable, yet she’d gotten so used to the whirl of light and sound and eyes, bloody blinking eyes, that it was almost familiar, nostalgic.
The sky was hued like lavender, the hills that rolled beneath it coated in twitching, tweaking eyeballs, all turning to stare at Estelle the moment her own lids had fluttered open. And from the ground beneath her feet, she could practically hear the squish of the gooey orbs as she took a step. On the outside, chances were she was sobbing, if not already passed out.
She called it dreamland. Or at least, that’s how she described it to Zoey. She could hear the stress in her loved ones’ voices: “is she going to dreamland? Is that why she’s like this?” Always happened at the worst times, but calling it something so innocent made it better, at least she hoped.
She ignored the unease and took a breath. The air here didn’t have the same refreshing quality as it did in the real world, it flooded her nostrils like a tidal wave, thick with the scent of blood and musk.
She took another step, the jelly-like texture of the eye she’d toed at making an uncomfortable squelching noise. The whole world was staring at her, whether from high in the sky or from right beneath her feet. The initial comfort had worn off and the eyes stared deep into her soul.
Back when the visions first started happening, Estelle would wail and whine in protest, kick and scream and throw a fit, loud enough to alert at least someone to what was happening. Now she went quietly, slipping away into dreamland before anyone noticed what was wrong.
She was used to it.
Just like her mother must have been.
As Estelle took step after step, she began to lose sight of where she started. Not that it was all that hard, there wasn’t a single landmark to really put anything into perspective, but she continued this way, or perhaps that way, over, under, inside out and upside down, whirling, twirling, blinking, blinking, blinking–
Another figure.
She had never seen another person here. Who else could have been here? Who else was Blinky tormenting?
It was a woman, that was clear as day, or night, really. The cycle didn’t work well here. She was about the same height as Estelle, with the same ginger curls, the same button nose and caramel-brown eyes, the plump pink lips and the soft skin dotted with freckles.
It was like looking into a mirror, like staring at the branches of your own family tree.
Estelle held her arms out for an embrace, waiting to crash into her mother’s arms for the first time in twenty-one years.
“Estelle! Jesus Christ, are you okay?” Callum’s hands clutched her shoulders, shaking her. She wearily came back to reality.
She was sitting on a chair in the living room on top of Zoey’s lap, with Callum standing in front of her looking panicked. “We thought you were dying, why didn’t you let us know you were going?”
“No need. I have to go, I…I miss my mom.”
“She’s going insane.” Callum threw his hands up. “Estelle, listen. Your mother is not alive!”
“She is there!” Estelle shrieked, only calming down when she felt Zoey’s hands on her sides.
“You gotta tell us when it happens.” She whispered.
“You can’t just go quietly.” Callum added.
Estelle shrunk down against her girlfriend, the lingering scent of her mother’s perfume settling in her nose.

more postpostgame stuff — estelle & co
ugh listen you guys just don't get it.... like ok yeah you guys have really like fucked up and weird parents or something but my papa and maman are the saviors of vaugarde............. it's really hard out for here for me, estelle, the center of the known universe
(original design concepts by @yonch!)
also introducing estelle's besties, antoine (scissors, 15, he/him) and johanne (rock, 14, she/her). like estelle, they have also managed to fall to the outer rings of the social sphere amongst the house's teenagers: antoine for his messy love(?) life, and johanne for the cardinal sin of being a little too socially awkward.
although they originally befriended estelle due to her status as "daughter of two saviors of vaugarde", it turns out they make a great trio of Scorned Teenagers With #Issues.

⛵️~ Haru and Nautica marine girl’s ~⛵️
hypothetical babies for my Vega 5 AU ~
🔹️Estelle - The shooting star🔹️
▪︎ 14 years old
Estelle, the eldest daughter of Haru and Nautica got a personality as vibrant and changeable as the sky she adores. Quite capricious and bossy she is strongly independant and excell in many subjects. She is drawn to the promise of adventure beyond the sky preferring to soar among the clouds rather than dive into the depths of the sea. A dream she share with her grandmother.
✨️Nori - The firework✨️
▪︎ 8 years old
As the youngest daughter of Haru and Nautica, Nori is like a ray of sunshine on even the stormiest of days. With her infectious laughter and boundless energy she brought joy and warmth to everyone around her. Ever since she was little, Nori developped a special affinity with marine species and despite her young age, she still strives to make the ocean a better place for all creatures, great and small.

mistake: What's the worst mistake your OC ever made? What led to them making it? Have they been able to fix it? How have they moved on?
for any!
I’m doing this one for my boy Raymond because he doesn’t get a lot of asks :D
Raymond’s greatest mistake was leaving Lycio alone with Estelle, and he regretted it until his very last moments. He did it because Estelle was able to convince him that he had to, she said that he had to go work in order to support the family- even though they had enough money to live comfortably. Because of that mistake, he missed out on almost all of Lycio’s life, only ever coming back for a few days when they were already 18.
However he did try and fix it by setting up sword fighting lessons with Nicova, but the damage had been done.
And well..he can’t exactly move on when he’s not in the world anymore.
