#parame: nevermore

[nevermore-grimes]

I dunno if this was already a tag game at some point, but I used this Picrew to make me and then make my parame, and I thought it would be fun! So, here are mine:

No pressure taggies! Just wanted to share~ @acircusfullofdemons @fallingmaddlyinlove @madd-many @heartofdaydreams (and this is open to anyone who wants to play, of course!)

[maladaptivedaydreamingculture]

MADD culture is rewriting movie scenes to include your parame, lmaooo!

(Wdym, Nevermore isn’t in the MCU? She was in three different movies! 🤨)

- @nevermore-grimes

Sounds about right lmao

[everyone-with-a-para]

Haiiii! So, this isn’t a submission, but it’s a question about your server (that I probably should’ve asked before joining 😅).

I dunno if I’m just overthinking or over complicating it, but how problematic, per se, do our paras have to be to join?

Like, I sometimes consider the happenings in my paracosm problematic to some extent, and I like to joke on Nevermore (my parame) being fairly problematic, but now I’m wondering if what I consider problematic isn’t problematic… enough? If that makes sense?

I dunno, and I think I’m just confusing myself, so I wanted to make sure before actually going through with making an intro and then ending up in a space that potentially wasn’t made for me. (I really don’t want to intrude. 😰)

Anyways, I was just hoping you can shed some light on this. Thank you!

- @nevermore-grimes

There's no real rule about it, honestly it's just a safe space for all MaDD/ID in general that happens to have a focus on paras or paracosms people don't want to talk about elsewhere because of how other people might react due to para's bad actions/morally questionable storylines/"problematic" sources. But any level (or lack of) of "problematic-ness" is welcome

[nevermore-grimes]

HOLY SHIT!!! I’M LITERALLY SHAKING OMG!!! I FOUND THEM!!! I FOUND MY OLD PARACOSM NOTEBOOKS!!!

Oh my god, I thought I was gonna throw up… Oh my god…

It’s gonna take me ages to digitize them, but I took pictures of all the pages so I didn’t have to get caught with the real copies (it took me, like, an hour and I was sick with anxiety the whole time).

So, please enjoy some really old arts that I drew of some of my paras (terrible art warning below the cut, lmaooo!).

*NOTE*: Since these designs are old, they do not exactly reflect how each of the paras depicted look today.

[nevermore-grimes]

I got bored today so I re-created funny tweets as my paras!

(I had to change some of their users because there was a character limit 🙄)

[nevermore-grimes]

hello it's madd ask game op on main!! how abt 1, 30, and 35? :0

Ahhh! Hiiiiii! Thank you for sending these in! Your ask game is so much fun!!!

how long have you been daydreaming for? (bonus if you can remember: what was your first daydream scenario/paracosm?)

Hmmmmm... I've been daydreaming as long as I can remember, really. Officially, I say since I was six years old, but I was daydreaming even from before then, I think.

In the earliest daydream I can remember, I was floating in a spaceship (zero-gravity moment!) with Ash Ketchum and Pikachu for some reason??? Don't ask me why, it was just the vibe, I guess.

if your paras had madd/daydreamed immersively, what would they daydream about?

This question almost broke my brain, lmaooo! It's sad, but I feel like if any of my paras were maladaptive daydreamers, they'd just daydream about lives where they either made better decisions or had better lives.

Like, Aerith would daydream a life where Nevermore never ran away from home, and Nevermore would daydream a life where her moms never tried to force her to be a princess. Sad stuff like that! *Sniffles*

if you have multiple paracosms, what would it be like if they had a crossover?

All of my other paracosms right now are just AUs of my main paracosm (The Ember Blade Chronicles), so if there ever was a crossover, everyone would be looking at each other like that one Spiderman meme, lmaooo!

[nevermore-grimes]

🎨 & 🎡 for the Self Ship ask meme! Uhhh Loki I guess idk

Yayyy! Thank you for sending an ask, Luka!!! 😆🫂

🎨 paint - make a color palette for your s/i and f/o! (can be two separate palettes or one combined palette!)

I'm a huge fan of how Nevermore's came out!

But I'm still not a visual artist, so Loki's came out a little... Yikes. 😬

(I tried to combine colors that made a nod to his aesthetic with colors that made a nod to his Jotun heritage and it just didn't work out- 💀)

🎡 ferris wheel - what would be your f/o’s favorite activity at an amusement park?

Not to steal from the prompt name, but I have a strong feeling that Loki would love the ferris wheel! It's really the only ride where he and Nevermore can be alone (and the view from the top is always gorgeous, especially at night), so he definitely finds it a very intimate spot.

...How have I not made him and Nevermore kith on top of one yet? 🤔

So, as promised in this post, I’m finally gonna explain how Nevermore is a cheating piece of sh- I mean- how the game went down:

The Rules

Contrary to the typical rules of Manhunt, there was only one seeker, and this game took place indoors.

They played the game inside the Avengers tower. The hiders were free to move around, as long as they weren’t caught by the seeker, and anyone who left the tower would be disqualified.

The lights had to remain off on every floor except for the lobby (FRIDAY took care of that quickly and easily). Any hider who was found by the seeker had to go to the lobby for the rest of the game.

Every player could only travel by elevator. (Taking stairs in the dark is a one-way ticket to the hospital. Also, imagining the elevators casting light into the darkness of each floor is pretty damn cool.)

Every player had a flashlight. The hiders were allowed to turn theirs off, but the seeker had to keep theirs on at all times.

The seeker was given exactly one hour to find the hiders. Starting at 11:00PM, they would lose the game if they didn’t find all the seekers by the stroke of midnight.

Playing the Game

The Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor, Loki, Aerith, and Nevermore gathered in the lobby of the Avengers tower, late one night.

Nevermore suggested the game, and after explaining the rules, she assigned the role of seeker to Aerith.

The rest of the gang had a few minutes to hide, since Aerith wouldn’t start seeking until the clock struck eleven.

In the elevator, Rocket questioned Nevermore as to where she was planing on hiding, and she refused to answer. (Rocket grew mildly annoyed at her for this.)

Once Aerith was finally allowed to start seeking, Rocket was actually the first one found in the tower’s kitchen. (He knocked over a pan and gave himself away, lmaooo!)

Aerith slowly made her way up the tower, finding a bunch of the other seekers. (I don’t have all the details, though, since my brain wanted to go ahead and jump to the interesting parts.)

By the time she made it to the top floor, she only had Nevermore left to find.

But, on the top floor, eerie things started to happen. Things were moving on their own, machines were whirring, and things pretty much started getting really supernatural.

Aerith wanted to stick it out and believe that Nevermore was just pulling a prank on her, but she eventually grew so creeped out that she retreated to the lobby with the intention of forfeiting the game.

But, once Aerith got to the lobby, she found Nevermore hanging out among the found hiders.

Nevermore had taken the elevator back down after all the hiders had gotten off (and Aerith had started her ascent in the other one). She insisted that “I never said you couldn’t hide in the lobby. I just said you had to come here once you’re found.” (Bitch.)

Aerith grew so frustrated with Nevermore that she forgot all about the spooky happenings on the top floor. But, this only lasted until she checked her watch and realized that it was only 11:59. Nevermore had given herself away too early…

But, What Happened on the Top Floor???

I can’t say for sure what caused the craziness on the top floor, but I guess they never figured it out. Maybe Tony had some faulty tech. Maybe there was a draft. Or, maybe, there’s a ghost making its home on the top floor, after all…

[nevermore-grimes]

After I've made most of my posts about them, I got curious. With the limited knowledge I gave about them so far...

Aerith is wary of propaganda, but Nevermore is encouraging it. Do with that information what you will. 😌

It’s finally time for me to quickly talk about the previously mentioned non-canon pirate moment! >:)

During a random mission (don’t ask for details, I really don’t know-), Nevermore got sent across the galaxy, and went missing for two weeks.

Doctor Strange was able to bring her back, but she returned as the captain of an all-female pirate crew*. (Her crew referred to her as Captain Grimes, which just sounds so fucking cool!)

In her time, Nevermore had spent ten years trying to return to the Avengers, and she even looked physically older (she got a lil wrinklier, but she also got a super cool silver streak in her hair).

Strange was able to revert Nevermore back to her 34-year-old body, while letting her keep the memories of the ten years she was out to sea, which led to her getting severely disoriented.

*Another note: In a newer version of this daydream, Nevermore reveals that she called her crew Death’s Assistants, to pay homage to Scarlet’s gang. I’m not crying, you are!

[nevermore-grimes]

I’ve finally decided to create a masterlist for the paracosm AU I engage with the most (because, more often than not, these daydreams are triggered by music, and I listen to music all the time, lmaooo!).

So, here’s the story of The Elemental Rhythm!

The Beginnings

After Tony Stark—genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist—discovers old footage of The Elemental Four going undercover on missions as a band called “The Elemental Rhythm”, he decides to invest some of his riches into reviving the band and becoming its manager.

Aerith is overjoyed at the idea of the band getting back together without the pressure of sticking to missions, but Amarilis and Anya refuse to leave Macbeth, and Nevermore just doesn’t feel that music is a full-time lifestyle for her.

So, Aerith and Tony come together to recruit Venice and Giffany for the band, and during auditions for a new lead singer, Nevermore decides to take the plunge and rejoin The Elemental Rhythm (it definitely didn’t make her jealous or anything, if that’s what you’re thinking…).

The return of The Elemental Rhythm is the catalyst for more superheroes leaving the lifesaving job behind for the world of music, and the Avengers eventually officially rebrand as Avenger Records.

I had too much fun with this, lmaooo! 🤣

Thank you to The Ultimate Daydreamer’s Guide for leading me to this gem. 🙌 (This also excited me as an aspiring journalist, hehehe!)

[nevermore-grimes]

OOO WAIT I KEEP FORGETTING TO TELL YOU

sometimes i imagine Peter would try to introduce Salem & Nevermore and it would go about as well as you'd expect.

Peter: yeah i think you'd really like Nevermore, she's really cool

*cut to Nevermore currently beating some guys ass*

Peter, mortified: uhm...

Salem: she seems nice 🥰

(they would get along like housefire. in the sense that the house has burned down thanks to the two of them lmao)

YESSS!!! OMG I LOVE THAT!!! And I love you! <3

Salem can bring the gasoline and Nevermore will light it up, and then they can dance around in the ashes (or in the actively burning house because they crazy like that). 🤣

I’m so honored that this crossed your mind! I really love the concept of this! Like, omg, they would be terrible perfect together! 😭💕

Also, please enjoy some memes that this ended up inspiring:

One sad fact about Nevermore that nobody asked for but I just remembered is that she flinches or yelps whenever someone snaps their fingers.

Y’know, ‘cuz of the blip…
