More questions on Tegan & Lucky!
What sort of media would Lucky be interested in?
What sort of books and journals are in Tegan's collection?
What bike did Tegan have and what is Lucky's? How did Lucky get his?
What are Tegan's associates doing about Lucky being around instead of him?
Whether for his curiosity of meeting new people and places or distancing himself from Tegan's social circles, would Lucky consider moving somewhere else?
Since Lucky is still legally seen as Tegan, would he get his name changed?
Since Tegan is the king of street racing, would it be fitting that he also has an unbeatable skeeball highscore in every arcade he's been to?
i was going to open this answer by going "well it's your lucky day" but i just made myself cringe with it lol
it is time for boy lore!
What sort of media would Lucky be interested in?
I think he likes weird mixed-media and self-published stuff, honestly. Audio dramas, video essays. Things he can put on while he’s on the road or stretched out watching the clouds. Reading is nice, too, but he focuses best when he's just gotten up and isn't moving yet.
He likes a classic slasher from time to time, too, but only with other people. Corn-syrup blood and cheesy practical effects are just kind of better enjoyed together.
What sort of books and journals are in Tegan's collection?
Make no mistake, Tegan was a NERD. Aeronautical anthologies, astronomy texts, those weird Barnes & Noble historical coffee table selections. Poetry, like a lot of poetry. Tegan's very much a Yeats boy, although he was also fond of Rilke and Rimbaud. There’s also, like, a few dusty language textbooks, the sort that you buy on a kick and never get around to actually studying. And he wrote a lot. Memo pads and leatherbound Walgreens journals, that sort of thing. Crack one of those suckers open and you get a free tongue-in-cheek existential crisis in mechanical pencil, 'cause that's what he had on tap 80% of the time.
What bike did Tegan have and what is Lucky's? How did Lucky get his?
Tegan had a 2012 BMW F800ST! Torquey and balanced and really well cared for. Midnight blue with some subtle yellow and white accents, little bit of a Van Gogh homage (nerd).
Of course, Janus had mixed feelings on the whole racing thing, but he also recognizing that having a motorcycle was an integral part of his brother’s identity, so he arranged for a replacement — a Sprint 1050. They are both sort of sharp in the front, and honestly, like, a bike is a bike. Only thing is that a bike is not a bike, and so while Lucky does get things done with the Sprint, it’s a little bit too finicky for his taste. He ends up trading with another local bike enthusiast for something a little more his style, and that — a Yamaha FJR1300 — ends up being his trademark bike. He gets it done up in his colors and everything. :)
What are Tegan's associates doing about Lucky being around instead of him?
Aside from the fact that he just isn’t around as much as they’re used to, I think that most of his acquaintances are just convinced that Tegan sort of got scared off the scene by the crash. First one of his career, right? And bad enough to take him off the map for months. I think that what strikes them as the strangest is the way that he just doesn’t seem to engage in the racing game at all anymore — he just seems to be a full-time courier, now.
When they ask, though, he’s genial. Maybe a little vague. Something's ever so slightly off about him. It’s weird, but who wouldn’t be? The crash was pretty bad. I’m still sorting everything out. Everyone doing okay? Nothing like an NDE to really mellow someone out. He’s still welcome, though, and sometimes he takes people up on invitations on the town, but the atmosphere’s a little different now that Holloway doesn’t step up and dazzle whole rooms like he used to.
Tegan’s best friend is canny enough and close enough that she knows what Lucky’s deal is — anyway, she’s been busy in the interim with trying to suss out what got him killed in the first place. How is she coping with the recent development that the bestie has been format wiped and now perceives way more and also way less than she is comfortable with? Uh. Really well. Don't ask her any more questions.
Whether for his curiosity of meeting new people and places or distancing himself from Tegan's social circles, would Lucky consider moving somewhere else?
Lucky would love traveling, I can tell you that much. You know those people who will tour from one coast to another with a backpack and their bike? That's right up his alley.
As far as leaving permanently, though, Lucky is a creature of sentiment. He's got ties to the city, inherited though they were, and once he starts making them his own, it'll get that much harder to actually leave it behind.
He is going touring though. Someday.
Since Lucky is still legally seen as Tegan, would he get his name changed?
Maybe after enough time’s passed. Feels disrespectful to immediately start over, you know? I think a part of Lucky seeks to understand who Tegan was, and it might just be sentimentality, but wearing the name feels like a part of that, almost? You wear the name, you read the journals, you find the person still lingering in the apartment, the idle nail-carvings on the end table, the weighted blankets and sleep playlists.
In the end, if he gets too used to it, he might just start telling people that he is Lucky, yeah, but he was named after a brother who passed away. Maybe Tegan would be amused.
Since Tegan is the king of street racing, would it be fitting that he also has an unbeatable skeeball highscore in every arcade he's been to
YES. Is it anywhere near as prestigious? Absolutely not, but it's fun to see the neighborhood teens placing bets to see who can beat him.
Did Tegan have any tattoos? If so, what where they and what meaning did it have to him?
He’s got a simple one stretching horizontally above his shoulder blades, the phases of the moon. He would’ve had more, but he had too many ideas for them and often sketched down concepts in his journals and never actually committed to them. Lots of thought went into maybe getting a line or two from poems he liked inked, but he never got the chance.
If Tegan did have tattoos, would Lucky be interested in getting one as well?
The first tattoo Lucky gets might be for Tegan. Some poem on his bicep or chest. But in you is the presence that / will be, when all the stars are dead, maybe. A lonely impulse of delight / drove to thus tumult in the clouds. That one will take some thought.
Other than that, maybe a spade? Is that too on the nose?

Oh! I just realized I could post the Apothrika original poems here as well for archiving purposes and to get some thoughts down
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Restating what I said in the discord, I have never claimed to be good at poetry. Garren's is the shortest but the one I'm most proud of, the one that attacked me visceraly.
Also, Azure's is an iteration of a type of poem I've been writing about her since before the new campaign. It may be lacking full context as far as Violet's backstory but it still works I think.
As for Mira's, I just like the idea that no matter how they circle around each other or how Violet might envy or admire that Mira can actually talk to people like a normal person, they are equal in the shadows as rogues and assassins.
And I wrote Violet's after she started interrogating and asking Garren about his magic. Something about the perceived hostility of needing to know everything about everyone. The fact that she grew up in an evil cult, it must take a whole lifetime to carve that evil out of yourself, how do you know how to live? You can never get that time back, can never get rid of that paranoia.
Anyway. Is it annoying to also tag everyone here? Well I guess who else am I posting this for, who am I fooling lol. I just miss you all, so here's your gift again @crossdressingdeath @gaylord1027 @highonkraken and @bryswyth too.

I love writing and gaming so here is abit of both⛅️
Sometimes I wish I was more witty or clever, That the responses I had where well put together.
Sometimes I dream of a life that isn’t mine, Content and happy in a world that shines.
Sometimes I wish for peace on earth, To find out that wars are a fictional curse.
Sometimes I pray to a god I don’t know, To give myself hope when my mood is low.
Sometimes I walk with a stride in my step, Only to trip on sadness and dread.
Sometimes I wish that I wasn’t me, That the life I lived was virtual reality.
Yet sometimes I’m fine, within my own mind, I feel no pain, no loss or gain. This is okay I may say, as tomorrow is a bran new 24 hour day

L-ego
here's my shit my total dispair an excuse to admit the last point o'er my head
I try to avoid but their voids drown my heck I try to ignore but the rush in my chest
makes me full of grace to be hitten by your race I'm not even close to a little report
this is just another door which I use to shut my fails iao, fellaw's regrets are my favourite game
they came one by one telling the whole f'king lie asking for mercy to their "more" important stuff
but my wand is straight it has no clue of redemph I guess I only forgave it all to my own, for saddly being there
embrace this, regards and find your personal path after all, we've being made from the same stardust
I'm deffinetly angry but in such a kind way even if I could explain there's none who undestards
for so many years I've been waiting to run free not knowing that my lider has, in fact, to be me!
it's strange how it is you want something but nothing wants me by the way, what I do see is a humanity about to grive
all my life waiting through my fisic eyes all those dreams which put me here in this plan3t, tried to convince myself, this couldn't be real but the most they show me, the more I got it
so this is the way it is, no matter what happends I'm not made for living without pushing battles war was the answer in every act of gideance 'cause peace only finds mean...when we're all collapsing

...para el día de los enamorados, les dejo mis más profundos sentimientos: los que se estancaron y se pudrieron
Me espera un nuevo comienzo, así que estos viejos trapos son los que voy a dedicar al resto, arreh
muahahaha..

Gaming-
World's where I can do anything
In Fantasy I AM
anyone I want to be
I have
climbed the highest mountains
Fought sharks in the deepest oceans-
With my bare hands
I have discovered lost islands,
while having to face and kill huge beasts
that longed to eat me
I have used guns, swords, bombs,arrows and knives
I have slit more
throats than you
can count
I have bludgeoned my enemies
to the sweetest death
and watched their
bodies ragdoll
down hills and
into valleys
I AM the most skilled
fighter
I take no mercy
Every open-world
is mine to conquer
To win I must
be the best
The smartest
and most cunning
The most lethal
Woman
You've ever met

Thinking about the outfits we made together for our characters in-game, wondering around the different maps, having dates in a virtual world like we wish we could in real life.

[does it know that we love it? that the universe is kind?]
[Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes.]
[But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality.]
[To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. ]
