How I Imagine the Voices in My Head

How I imagine the voice of the mcs in RRFF (=

Memory - vocal range between MARINA and Mitski(how I already hced Mems voice - think between Family Jewels and Door)

Illusion - between carolesdaughter and Mitski(developed after spending time w memory (= - think between My Mother Wants Me Dead and Washing Machine Heart) -- a little Feel Better by Penelope Scott and MONEY MAKES YOU STUPID by Black Dresses cause he's a little unhinged and his voice has to be too <3

Guardian(despite the fact that he already has a canon voice hush) - between Noah Kahan and Jack Staubers Mircopop - think between Northern Attitude and Cupid

Alex(again shhh)Alex(again shhh) - I'm So Sick by Flyleaf to The Moon Will Sing by The Crane Wives

Time - between Saint Bernard by Lincoln and Pearl Diver by Mitski(Honestly I couldn't rlly find much in the songs ik, but just think REALY fucking British, I'm pretty sure over 50% of the fandom agrees he just randomly has a British accent. None of his fam is British, just him-)

Galaxy - between the songs A Deer Mistaking Candle for Headlights by Crywank and Chaotic Gender Neutral by Murder Person for Hire

For today's post, I want to appreciate how differently Galaxy Steve and Elemental Steve talk.

Remember that one time balloons were mentioned in the Steve Saga? When Rainbow asked what a balloon was, Galaxy told him to imagine, "sand, but it goes up instead of down." He describes a foreign thing by asking his audience to imagine a familiar thing, but with a twist.

If Rainbow asked Elemental to explain what a balloon was, Elemental would probably say, "How do I explain it...It's basically a bunch of gas molecules bound together by this material that is like - how do I describe it - fabric, but also not like fabric. The gas molecules are trapped, but at the same time, it's still dispersing, since it is still a gas. Some balloons fly up. So the gas is free to move around in the sky, but at the same time it's still limited in movement. It's complicated, I know."

These two characters are so different in how they explain things, and I just wanted to appreciate that for today.

Memory and Illusion because Remorseful Recollections of the Forgotten Family by Surreally Stressed on Wattpad got me loving their friendship/cousinhood(?)

Also yes, I know Stress's designs for them are different, I'm just saying that this was inspired by their fanfic and I can't help but to crave Memmy and Illu content 🖐️🙄

[illusion-reality-steve]

Everyone loves the idea of Memory having a younger brother.

I am thriving off of the idea that Memory had an older sister that he didnt know about, and Galaxy let it slip. Because blame Galaxy./j

Love your fanfic btw dude!!!

Yooooooo, I'm fascinated by the idea!

I like to imagine that when Galaxy lets it slip, everyone is too shocked to say anything, and it's Alex who first loses her patience and says, "Void had a daughter? Why didn’t you tell me?"

I hope Memory and his older sister have a good relationship, if they ever get a chance to meet.

Thank you for sharing, and thank so much for reading my fanfic!!

Another RRFF deleted scene:

Galaxy suddenly flinched, scanning the air.

Illusion groaned. "What now?"

"Something tells me I should check on Alex," Galaxy said. "She’s feeling sad and I have to tell her that she’s amazing and doing her best."

"You can sense when your friend is in distress?!" Illusion said, sounding more baffled with each word. "Oh my god, if my emotional connection with Galaxy turned out not to be a flaw but something I inherited from him, I'm going to be so mad."

[illusion-reality-steve]

(this is a very long ask and its pm just an obervation i made in the series :D)

The song 'never love an anchor' is such an RRFF song and I cant get over it. The song itself talks from the prespective of a mother about the child she put up for adoption, and how she feared that she would ruin the child.

yes i am gonna be targetting illusion and galaxy in this.

In the most recent chapters, it shows Galaxy being distant yet remorseful due to the recent events. Honestly, I would love to see a chapter where Galaxy talks about not being able to love Illusion due to the infection, and how he felt about it. Thats why I chose 'never love an anchor' as the song I'm using for this analysis, because it would fit Illusion and Galaxy perfectly if Galaxy felt remorse and sadness for not being able to love his son.

tldr i need illusion and galaxy angst in the new chapters. also when r u gonna start releasing them?

Hello anon! I hope you got rest after writing this great ask!

Thank you so much for the song recommendation! I can add it into my collection of family angst songs >:) I love your analysis of Illusion and Galaxy too!

Illusion and Galaxy's relationship will be explored in Act 3. I'm still editing it and planning it out, but I think it'll be very different to how Galaxy feels about Time and Memory. Guess we'll see!

Recent update on chapter release plans found here and here!

Thank you!

Coming soon: Galaxy Family 2023 Ask-a-thon

The poll has concluded. The Galaxy Family 2023 Ask-a-thon will be starting on November 27, which is 5 days from now!

I'm in the process of scheduling everything, so there is no detailed schedule for now. It will come eventually. For now, here's all the other important information.

11/23 update: detailed schedule is here now!

What is the Galaxy Family 2023 ask-a-thon?

It is a marathon-like event where I’ll be answering a lot of asks in the span of 5 days. There will be a lot of posts during this week, all related to Galaxy Family and RRFF headcanons! (and some miscellaneous stuff)

What kind of content will be posted during Galaxy Family 2023 ask-a-thon?

The ask-a-thon will only feature asks the blog has received before November 2023. This event is not about sending asks during the event for me to answer in real time. The event is about me finally catching up with the asks in my inbox. If I receive any asks during the ask-a-thon, they will be answered sometime after the event, not during.

How many posts will be in the ask-a-thon?

Around 42. But I'll be honest: I may have miscounted, and there may be less than 42 posts.

11/23 update: 40 asks! (one ask contains 4 questions, so there will be 37 posts total!)

I know this isn't as many posts as the last big ask-a-thon. I know I still have plenty of Galaxy Family asks to get to. I hope to eventually get to all of them, whether it be for a regular post or a future big ask-a-thon!

Is this interactive? How do I participate in the ask-a-thon?

Not interactive. The ask-a-thon only goes over asks already sent to me, not asks sent during the event.

To participate, all you gotta do is sit back, follow my blog, and enjoy my blog posting exceptionally more content than usual.

Feel free to send follow-up asks after the event if you have something to say. Just understand that the follow-up asks will be addressed after the event, and it might take a while for me to get to them. The frequency of posts will resume to “3 posts a week” after the ask-a-thon.

What if I don’t want to see anything from the ask-a-thon?

All ask-a-thon posts will be tagged "galaxy family 2023 ask a thon" (no dashes). Feel free to blacklist that tag if you don’t want the ask-a-thon to flood your dashboard.

Conversely, the "galaxy family 2023 ask a thon" is how you can keep track of all the posts for the event. Feel free to follow this tag to keep a closer eye on the ask-a-thon.

When will the RRFF/Galaxy Family masterpost be updated with all these answered questions and lore drops?

I'll get the masterpost fully updated by December 8, a week after the ask-a-thon.

Is there a schedule for the ask-a-thon? I want to make sure the ask I’ve sent a long time ago will be a part of the event.

Yes. There is a detailed schedule beneath the "Keep Reading/Read More" section. It’ll give you details about each day of the ask-a-thon, such as how many posts are scheduled for that day, and the specific asks that’ll be answered on that day. That way, if anyone is worried that they missed a post, or they don't know when an anticipated ask will come, they can refer to the detailed schedule below.

See you at the ask-a-thon! If you have any questions or concerns, drop an ask! I’ll try to clarify any confusion or concerns.

I just want to share this au of mine the slumbering memories au or the sm!au. basically mems has a younger brother: sleepy (sleep Steve) who got incredibly injured at one point that mems had no choice but to absorb him so he could heal slowly in mems mind. He sees everything that mems go through and at the end of act 2 he switches. Finally fully healed after a millennia he’s determined to protect his older brother. So what if that means lying to this random salty stranger that has family energy. Memory is on his season 4 of depression and is just depressed in the mindscape not trying to escape as sleepy is just on purpose being a nuisance to everyone (mostly guardian because the whole thing with the great librarian was actually void but void told him to send a vision of his brother doing it).

so yeah that’s the slumbering memories au of rrff! Hope you like it!

Omg, this AU is so sad.

Just

Someone who has protected their injured sibling for so many years becoming the protected, even though the method of protection isn’t the best option (no one likes being stuck in someone else’s head). It’s just…ASDFJKL

Illusion and Time knows that it’s like to be stuck in someone's head. I hope they (and Sleepy) are able to visit Memory in the mindscape to give him support during his depression.

Also, I love how you retconned the incident with the Great Librarian and gave everyone a new reason to hate Void. That is amazing.

I love this AU, so thank you for sharing!

[illusion-reality-steve]

Are we ever gonna get a Void face reveal? or does he not have a face?

He does have a face, but there probably won’t be a face reveal.

I’m still brainstorming RRFF!Void's design, and I’ve kept his face abstract beneath his hood in my art while applying he has a realistic, tangible face in the writing. My goal is to eventually design his face, but it probably will not happen in a while until I come up with a character design I’m satisfied with.

So for the time being, I’m keeping Void’s character design vague on purpose, so readers can imagine whatever they want with Void, lol

[illusion-reality-steve]

Crack idea, three actually.

Memory is trans mtf during the story so now the galaxy sibs have a badass cousin.

Memory is trans (again ik) but was always ftm and is a badass.

Memory has a very high pitched voice.

that is all goodnight!

Those are all really cool ideas!

Trans Memory would totally say, "I’m an ace at transferring memories. Sorry, but I am on a roll with the puns."

Thank you so much for sharing!

[illusion-reality-steve]

Cute thing Illusion did as child when Time was raising him, go!

One time, Illusion went up to Time and asked, "what is the sky? Everyone in the books keeps talking about it but I have no idea what that is."

Time tried his best to explain Illusion what a sky is. Like how it can be blue, gray, or black, and how it changes all the time. And when Illusion asks why the sky changes colors, Time explained weather and the sun and the moon.

Later, Illusion tried so hard to imagine what the sky is like, but he really couldn't. He just stares at his surroundings (the yellow space) and tries imagine how it's different from the sky.

Eventually, Illusion went up to Time and this happened.

Time: Yes?

Child!Illusion: The sun is the yellow thing that turns the sky blue! And this place is yellow!

Child!Illusion: We’re living in the sun!! :D And since the sun is supposed to be so hot, and I’m not burning into crisp, I’m super strong!!

Time:

Time: Great observation :)

(in hindsight, this scenario is SO ironic when you remember that Illusion learns about the audience, aka the Sky People)

[illusion-reality-steve]

Maybe instead of crafting Elemental pumpkin soup Memory could have some from the times Galaxy went to other dimensions and stuff 👀

(In response to this post.)

The soup probably comes in a can. I love the mental image of Memory confiscating soup cans from Galaxy and thinking, "what are these strange objects? Are they like fancy decorations to show pictures when you don’t want to use a picture frame?"

And then one day he accidentally breaks one during archery practice and he goes like, "YOOOOOO, THESE THINGS CONTAIN SOUP?! AND THEY KEEP IT FRESH?! ELEMENTAL, YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS BUT –"

[illusion-reality-steve]

This question is a little weird, but it's plagued my mind for some reason: what would the current rrff crew do if someone randomly bit them?

Wow, this ask has been sitting in my inbox for a very long time, and I'm so sorry for taking this long to finally get to it, anon. I thought it over and, well, here are your answers!

Time: he would use future vision to know when to dodge. Bite evaded, lol.

Memory: when he gets bitten, he’d just look at that person for a long second, refusing to blink because he has no idea what to do in this situation, before finally saying, “...can I help you?”

Illusion: he would immediately scream and try to get away as soon as possible.

Elemental: he would be annoyed because saliva. He doesn’t like that Time successfully evaded while he didn’t. He’d try to get away from the person to cope with his wounded pride. But later, curiosity gets the better of him and he returns to that person to ask, "is this some language that’s only expressed through biting?"

Galaxy: he would scream, "NO. DON’T EAT ME. TRUST ME, I TASTE HORRIBLE." Bonus: assuming Illusion is still programmed to always help Galaxy, Illusion also screams, "YES, HE’S RIGHT. I know your world is obsessed with the galaxy aesthetic, to the point that you guys make galaxy cakes, but you were probably lied to about how tasty the galaxy is!"

Sabre: "No! How many times do I have to go over this?! Just because I dress like a chicken doesn’t mean that I taste like chicken!" (shoutout to Purple Steve)

Void: he would throw a fit, and then destroy that person.

Alex: honestly, being the powerful goddess she is, she wouldn't even feel the bite. She knows that someone is near, but she’s assuming that they just wanted to hug her, and she decided, "maybe this person just really needs the hug. I’ll let them have it." And when other people start freaking out, she looks to her side and goes like, "omg, they’re biting me?! What does that mean?!"

Guardian: he’d get so worried. "Are my wings broken? Did I get an infection? Will it spread to the Steves when I go back to the Spirit World?" So he’d try to leave as soon as possible to assess the damage, and then walk around and ask, "has anyone else been bitten and need medical attention?"

Red Leader: "...can you do that again, but on that guy this time?" [points at Illusion] "And more furiously?"

Green Steve: he would NOPE on out of there.

Overseer: he would make a sheep-like cry. He may have a flashback to the times he was a sheep and had to worry about so wolves wanting to eat him.

The Colors: no one can bite them. But they see the others getting bitten and find the whole situation delightful. Origin Beast appreciates the hypothetical random biter.

Narrator: he would never allow someone to bit him. He would just conveniently have a chew toy to give to the person to divert to bite away from him.

[illusion-reality-steve]

what are the galaxy fams music tastes, in your headcanons? ive always felt like illusion/reality would like melanie martinez's songs, and terrorizes the rest of the fam with it (except for ele, he vibes w it)

ALSO, opinions on genderfluid or nonbinary reality/illusion and memory headcanons? love ur fic btw !!!

Memory's favorite music is metal, which I talked about before here.

Illusion's taste would be "techno instrumental." I don't know the genre's name. But you know the music that was playing during Illusion's arc in the series? That's the type of music Illusion would listen to. He probably plays that music to relax while he's doing housework.

For Time's study music, I think he likes the sounds of hundreds of analog clocks ticking simultaneously. That sound stresses the hell out of Illusion and Memory, but it’s peak ambience for Time. But outside of study, I think Time would listen to retro video game soundtracks!

As the overseer of dimensions who has listened to more types of music than you can ever imagine, Elemental doesn’t have a preference. Instead, he just has episodes where he craves for a certain type of music. But with no proper library, he would have to search countless of dimensions to find one with the music genres that hits that mark. It's like scrolling through the Internet trying to find that one song you vaguely remember but so badly need to listen to right now, but ~~cosmic~~

Galaxy and Void both love shitpost/meme music. Void listens to it in secret so no one knows. If Galaxy ever finds out, he'll say, "*EXCITED GASP* I love that song too!!"

Void would then say, "You like it because you mindlessly like everything! I like it because it's legitimately deep but only a few people understand that! We are not the same!"

Thank you so much for reading my fic! I think those genderfluid and nonbinary headcanons are really cool! :D

(Shameless reminder: More asks about gender headcanons coming this Wednesday to a Steve Saga blog near you! Check the detailed schedule here!)
