actually, screw it. plot twist, a lot of Fíann's life was a fabricated lie and that's not even her real name. or her real self.

At least not unless you believe that there are different versions of you and that timetravel is possible.

And Flyn Farrell had been, more or less, forced to adopt this belief as a part of her truth.

Not that it was entirely false, of course. Timetravel was possible. The little compass watch that had taken her to the pirate ages, the device that she - or rather Fíann - had found, was real. Fíann Foley wasn't. Flyn Farrell, yes, but not Fíann. Not entirely.

Driven by her year-old interest and experience in playing music and video games, Flyn applied for work as a music composer (and later writer and concept artist) at a video game company which, much later, turned out to have shady reputation. It would be the first time she'd put her studies to more serious use... and it was nothing like designing a board game, which had been what she had been doing for a living until then. Aside from the martial arts lessons.

She had worked at a few smaller companies like that before. Smaller teams, projects that were great yet did not become the next hot famous thing everyone was seeking - but the games were memorable, and the teams were happy with that. Sure, she did get almost uncannily focused and was sometimes so invested in her work that her life stayed on the back burner, but that was good. It meant she liked her job and cared about it. Right?

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple". And that was not all of it. The plan to replace pre-existing supernatural beings with fake ones - as well as some humans who were being too loud and uncomfortable for the government to deal with - had been in motion for a few years by the time Flyn had been collecting experience at work (and not just in Ireland, too, but, slowly, across the whole world). She had gone through life with just the occasional swim, as a mermaid, and she had put most (but not all) of her suspicions to sleep. She was one of the merfolk that slipped through. And not only because there were few who could break her curse of immortality, if it was a curse at all.

Merrick Murchadh was real, as well as their relationship, their friends (some of which would later take his ex-girlfriend's side, and some would stay), and Flyn's mental illnesses. Unfortunately, that part was very much real. Granted, Merrick was under a different name from the one he had in Flyn's game - naturally, much like Flyn herself... and with a far more reputable occupation than lying about spending his rich parents' money (his father was a businessesman, though he had made Merrick follow a path similar to Flyn's) - but he was real, just like Flyn and her friends themselves, and just as insane as he had been in Flyn's game. His company was one of the biggest competitors to the one Flyn worked at, and, claiming falsely that she and her colleagues had stolen an idea originally theirs, Merrick was motivated to bring her down.

In Flyn's game, „Merrick“’s character ended up dead if the players chose the supposedly "better" ending between the two. In real life - similar to the worse ending - he was alive, and alive at a time when VR was being taken to a new level. Some video games and their results now affected real life as well; two such games were one Flyn had been inspired by and the one she had been working on, such a large portion of her game inspired by what her alternate self Fíann Foley had experienced that the lines between what was a part of real life and what was a part of the game were blurred. Aside from doing nothing of true importance, which he was scarily good at, Merrick was an assistant to the head of a company that sold artificial lives and experiences - holidays to places that could be far more expensive if actually experienced in real life, dates for people who thought themselves ugly and many other sorts of, well, fake realities - repackaged in the form of games, of course with some adventure and romance and whatnot sprinkled in, and what both of them were ultimately fighting for was to turn their projects into real, actual, enjoyable games.

That was, until the games bled into reality - until reality bled into the games.

randomly thought about this but even though Kamael is way better than everyone else at cooking, his siblings, Hella and Rigmor, Arvid, Kieran, Flyn/Fíann and Savash would have very alright cooking abilities also.

Kieran got interested in cooking around the time he was a teenager; unlike Rigmor he liked trying out different things as he watched his mom cook and bake. They both ended up good at cooking however, even though it took Rigmor more time to get into it in uni when she first had to take life in her own hands. They like Italian, Chinese and Japanese food a lot.

Flyn would have to be as resourceful as her character Fíann; she would probably know how to cook also. Some of her favorite/most frequently cooked meals would be either Chinese or Indian.

Savash is a sorceress, and from preparing potions, she'd have picked up stray knowledge of how to cook soup and warm meals, and bam, from there she'd have likely learned a few meals.

Hella isn't extremely good at it; she often doesn't have time. But she's curious, so she definitely makes up for it with enthusiasm. Her favorite meals would also be Chinese and Indian, as well as German.

Same goes for Arvid, except I think he might like Thai better. But like everyone else he is very open to exploring all kinds of food.

I've been blabbing about characters so here's some more headcanons. Sorry. Or not.

The Corbeaus, especially Kamael, Brennan, Luceus and Marion, are on the chubby side - however it only shows more post-Celestial, after they get a sense of semi-normality. Although Luceus and Kamael like to wear formal clothes often, all of the siblings like loose-fitting clothes as well and unless you stare or get to spend more time with them it's harder to notice.

Flyn (like Hella) is athletic, and aside from muscle she also puts on fat/weight. See Corbeaus post-Celestial.

With Arvid the muscles are a bit harder to notice but he’s got them.

Stefan, Benjamin and Lyle do not gain weight as easily, Stefan and Lyle especially.

Rigmor is athletic. It's very difficult for her to gain weight, for which she has had plenty of unwanted comments. That made her avoid eating around other people in order to silence them in the past but she has since stopped caring.

also, related to this previous post, unless Flyn tells anyone - and she will not; not the essence or the most important part of it, and absolutely not all of it, and certainly not if she distrusts the other - this isn't a thing anyone uninvolved with her company or friends knows.

And Flyn Farrell might have even less friends than Fíann Foley does.

edit: it's also unlikely for anyone to be entirely sure whether she's a woman or not. She also does not dress in a feminine way at all (because she's comfortable that way). And even when she uses makeup it's far less obvious. You'd have to stare hard at her face to figure her out & she will have disappeared before that can happen.
