oooooooooohh nooo thats so cute :(((( what u said abt young eden is so true omgg. they r also def the type of kid that brings stray cats n dogs 2 their home. so evrytime the orphanage carataker hears a meowing or barking inside they r like "gdi eden not AGAIN!!" but it wouldnt stop them lol. they r the type that r immune to scolding. after finishing wth being scolded theyll go back 2 do exactly what they r told not 2 do. oh n also they enjoy rough playing. so on top of being covered in dirt or mud, theyll always have bruises n scratches from getting into fights or just from falling or running around. also they have a habit of like, suddenly disappearing (maybe 2 the forest which makes them hard 2 track).

and lol ye i saw it, it made me go hmmm, a true missed opportunity. eden wouldnt let the chance pass. im manifesting a future update where we could give them oral spiderman style 🙏

a bit off topic but i was wondering if u have any ideas or hcs about eden n baileys relationship/friendship?? idk. eden being slightly aggressive n mad at u after they rescue(???) u from bailey when u miss ur payment kinda throw me off ngl. bc they dont act that way when they rescue you from remys farm or the asylum. like, wtf is going on??? idk. its a bit of head scratcher for me.

Ooooo boy Eden and Bailey's past is something I often think about.

Under a cut for sheer length

Okay so I think they are about the same age (late 20s to early 40s) and that they grew up in the orphanage together.

I think Eden was there since very young/birth, but Bailey came later.

Eden not having sole primary care takers fucked up their socialising skills and they felt more comfortable on their own (read:fear of abandonment).

Bailey I think came from a really abusive impoverished home, and thats what made them obsessed with money. They have a weird vendetta against their birth parents to be 'better' than them.

Eden had a stray dog they cared for, but one day when they were running through the forest, a wolf got at it. Hence their 'non of these would survive in the wild' line at the pet store, and their obvious interest in puppy play.

After that, Eden started to shut off even more, being aggressive with the other kids, until Bailey started hanging out with them.

Bailey was angry to be in an orphanage and could see that Eden obviously wasn't happy, so they sort of gravitated towards each other.

Bailey was also the only other kid that didn't cry when Eden hit them.

They're the only two people that know each other's birthdays, besides anyone who looks at their very real legal documents.

As they hit puberty and start growing, they get competitive. Both are rather controlling, so they make a ton of bets against each other. One of them being who can lose their virginity the fastest.

Eden is rather blunt at asking, scaring a lot of the potential partners off, while Bailey is smoother about it and of course wins the bet.

Some fellow orphans start going missing, making everyone uneasy.

This is also when they start noticing the rampant sexual assualt in town, travelling as two most of the time so they can fight people off easier, if needs be.

Terrible at school. Eden was great at English, decent at history, but good luck making them show up half of the time. Eden had a talent for art, however, particularly carvings.

Bailey was there to socialise and steal lunch money, but they had okay grades.

If this is set in England, they would have gone to a secondary school with a sixth form. This means ages 11-18 as students, and I hc that when they were in year 7 (1st year of secondary) Leighton was in sixth form (years 12 and 13). They did not get along for the brief time they would meet in the halls.

I also think Eden would have dropped out in year 11, at age 16, and probably had an apprenticeship with a woodworking company (explains making the coat rack and love seat).

Bailey starts getting into more and more criminal activities, dragging Eden into them too, until a local crime boss notices them. The boss takes Bailey under their wing, thinking Eden won't be right for the job.

Instead they ask Eden to get a job at the police station and help them get further footholds there, that's how Eden has all of those collars (inspired by that one anon), and possibly their rifle. Alternatively, Eden leaves for the military and comes back later.

It works, and they end up covering a lot of their tracks. It's probably around this point that Landry does a few smaller jobs around the place and starts hearing about the Boss' new protégé.

They both have money now, for the first time in there lives, and this is when their differences start to show.

Bailey wants more and more, where as Eden wants to be comfortable.

Bailey fits into the mobster life fairly easily, but instead of the drugs that a lot of the others peddle, Bailey specialises in extortion and blackmail.

They slowly end up getting quite a few powerful figures under their control, and when the boss dies and Bailey ends up in charge of the money? They buy the orphanage.

I think Bailey might have cared for the orphans at one point, in their own ways, but their greed got the better of them.

Working under the mob and the corrupt police has Eden start to hate and fear the town. The only place they felt safer was the forest - which was full of deadly animals. But Eden could protect themselves now.

Being tall and muscular means that Eden is often sent to intimidate or even physically hurt people, often times getting hurt as well. Not to mention when arresting people, some are rather adverse to going to jail and take stabs at them.

If I go with Eden joining the military, they come home hoping to have a familiar setting calm their nerves, but it doesn't. Working for Bailey to earn money also doesn't help, one job having them break into the police station and setting fire to their files (that's another way Eden could find the collars, think of their old dog, and take them in nostalgia).

Eden cracks when they're asked to kill someone off, only to realise its a kid. That's too far.

They go to Bailey and tell them they're done. They need an out, they're fucking miserable, barely sleeping, constantly anxious, and Bailey tries to convince them to stay at first, before realising that they could lose their best friend once and for all if they force them to stay.

So they start planning together what Eden should do, and eventually come up with the cabin. Bailey has Quinn/their predecessor in their pocket by this point, so some cash and threats have some builders help make it, including running water.

When in town, Eden supplies Bailey with animal furs for custom coats. Bailey gets Eden new books, cans of food, more bullets. And if you miss your payment, Bailey eventually gifts Eden with a spouse.

Eden gets angry if they 'rescue' you from Bailey cause its a reminder of the past they try to avoid, and they take it out on you. Of the fear they had as a young orphan of disappearing, something Bailey is now enforcing on more orphans. They take it out on you because violence has always been a way they've coped.

Occasionally, maybe on one of those birthdays, they sit at the lake and drink some whiskey together. They don't talk about their feelings, they're both too stunted for that. But it's comforting knowing each other is still alive and well.

me, revisiting silmarillion stories after not thinking about them since i was 13: what is the source of downfall for the First Age elves? They do not wish for power for they already are powerful; their lives are everlasting unless they quarrel and violence befalls them. There is never even a war on succession among the royal families of Noldor elves--none of them wants to be king, and some of their best is explicitly stated to want “neither power or glory”, and the friendship between two half-cousins literally bring CENTURIES of peace and prosperity to their people when two separate royal houses they belong to are literally on the brink of conflict and possibly war! No, it was not quest for power that doomed the elves and led to their sufferings--it was desire. But what is wrong with wanting and loving? There is nothing wrong with the desire to want, to love and to live, and none of them brought suffering--but desire and obsession are two sides of the same coin and they bleed into one another more often than not. Ultimately, It was desire for justice that doomed them, for the desire for justice--something constructive and positive--can easily be twisted into obsession with vengeance. The silmarli jewels encased the light of the two trees that once functioned as sun and moon on the undying land of Valinor--on a metaphorical level, the jewels are the “fruits” of the two trees in the “garden” of Valinor. The theft of simarili jewels led the elves from the undying lands of valinor to the mortal realm of middle earth, just like consuming the fruits of tree of good and evil has driven Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden into the mortal realm--for they now know “desire”. Unlike Sauron’s rings of power, the Silmarili jewels grant no power or benefits, but they play the role of desires. And the pursue of silmarilis, on a metaphorically level, is the pursue of desires. It’s strange that Tolkien begins his in-story mythologies from the perspective of fictional race of elves, instead of humans; however, his elves were never anything but men--at the core, they are simply people like none other. His elves are Adam and Eve of the garden; they are the First Men and they are more human than human and that’s why we weep for their sufferings--for they are us.

also me: Easterlings’ racial coding is rACIST. kinda wild that half of the continent is occupied by people with “yellow and oliver” skin and are called Men of Darkness that are once so large in number that they could surpass the population of Men of the West and yet we know very little about them, huh. pretty fucking wild, huh. Like tolkien could have just make middle earth Fantasy England, like the fantasy nordic/cletic land he wanted and leave it at that but he has to also make Easterlings a thing--he has to go out and do that and make them minor antagonists in main conflicts in lord of the rings as well as manuscripts that become Silmarillion huh. Also it’s kinda wild that when bunch of people arrived at a new land with the intention of getting the resources that they think rightfully belong to them (albeit their forefathers are born and have lived on this land, so they do have some sort of claim to the land), you’d think that they would have run into at least some scuffles with the people that have been living on the aforementioned land this entire time, yet all we know is that they just MAGICALLY and peacefully co-exist with people that already lived there and the story is instead focus on these people getting some jewels back. Like, i love noldor elves and everything but tolkien is such white british man it’s so transparent sometimes. Anyways im gonna go play some dragon age now, not that dragon age aren’t also made by obnoxious white men, but at least the obnoxious white men that made dragon age are slightly “woker”.
