You know what I find fascinating? In the books, the *instant* Curtain learns about Constance's psychic powers, he immediately begins plotting how he can use her. He reacts with delight, exclaiming, "Oh, what a useful little girl you are! I had no idea!" On multiple occasions, he demonstrates his intent and capability to use Constance's powers for his own gain by making her "verify" that his threats are truthful (and that he intends to follow through on them).
When the Ten Men are chasing after the children, there is a higher value placed on Constance's head than the other three children: "She's the greatest catch, at any rate," in TPD, as well as McCracken in Riddle of Ages asking, "Does that frighten you, ducky? To know that you're important to us?" So important that he attempts to trade the safety of the rest of the children for Constance. (Whether he intended to follow through on that promise is another matter.) Point is - her powers make her useful, her powers make her valuable, and Book Curtain and the Ten Men do not hesitate to exploit this.
What's fascinating to me is that we see none of this in the show. The reveal that Constance is psychic is met not with a sick delight, but more with, "Ah, dammit, I should've *known* the tiny girl was psychic. Rats." And then the conversation moves on! Even though Curtain had more pressing issues to deal with at the moment - namely, the return of his long-lost brother - Curtain doesn't even follow this up in Season 2. At no point does he show intent to use Constance's powers to further his own aims somehow. He never instructs Jeffers to give Constance "special attention" in any way.
In fact, the only person we see kidnap Constance for her powers is Garrison - and I would argue that Garrison was less fascinated with Constance's abilities and more so tormented by the dilemma of repairing and perfecting the Whisperer. Constance was the one to destroy the Whisperer; therefore, she needed Constance to take the new and improved Whisperer for a test run, make sure it was failproof. Not necessarily because she wanted Constance's psychic powers to improve the Whisperer somehow. Her improvements were all her own, all science; she just needed a bear to test out the newest prototype of bear-proof packaging.
And I wonder what caused this change between the worlds in the way Constance is treated. Is it the changes made to Curtain's personality? Is it the fact that he has a child in this universe somehow? Is it because Constance was already under his Happiness control when he comes face to face with her in Season 2? (Although you'd think that he'd mention her powers on the phone to Jeffers if this was solely the reason.) Is it the fact that he's too focused on his brother? This seems unlikely to me, as Show Curtain seems to treat the children with a sort of respect as enemies in Season 2, despite the fact that they're eleven. He constantly glosses over the involvement of the adults to insist that Jeffers apprehend the children, so clearly they're important to him. But they're all equally important and threatening to him for their ability to somehow, inexplicably outwit him - not the fact that one of them has psychic powers.
Anyways, I'm not sure where I'm going with this, or if there's even a reason we can pinpoint for this difference. I just think it's a really interesting change and really serves to differentiate Show Curtain's character from the books.

⬅[Prev] Day 3: Decks
@ygoc-week Day 4: Relationships
Like Day 2, some character introductions are included for context! (Image heavy post as usual)
relationship chart at the end of the post!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Fleur & Jackie (VS Hamelin)
The dazzling, dangerous duo of a heiress and a hitman-for-hire! Fleur was the one that gave Jackie her name, Jacqueline, from a romance novel she had been reading at the time.
Though they look like they share a standard master and servant relationship, the two are more like equals with a directional hierarchy. Partners-in-crime, if you will...
Tumblr media
As a research student who's always struggling to get the Tops at her school to assist her in her thesis, Hamelin hates rich people for hoarding the very historical artefacts she needs for her research. With her Magikey deck and homemade gadgets, even state-of-the-art security systems don't stand a chance!
The next day after a failed heist at Fleur (after being foiled by Jackie), she bumps into him at the college. To her horror, Jackie learns her name, and from that day on seems to have decided that the two of them are now friends. 
Jackie has no clue that Hamelin and the phantom thief are the same person, but somehow he constantly makes cryptic remarks that allude to such knowledge. It always sets off the wheel in Hammy’s head.
“Inviting me out for an outing after nightfall? Is she trying to get proof that I am the phantom thief by proving that the two of us can never be at the same place at the same time? But if I say no, then she has even more reason to suspect me! If I say yes, I’m playing right into her hands… Curses! A moth? More like a spider!”  “(... She’s been thinking for a while now… Is she trying to think up a way to gently let me down? I feel a little bad… But I’m not giving up!)” <- innocently just wants to be friends
Tumblr media
(The girl at the back is Jackie's childhood friend and unrequited-but-actually-requited crush, Eliza*)
Tumblr media
2. Violentshipping Fuschia/Viol
In their clash during the war, Fuschia learnt the cruel reality of the dimensional war he was so happily participating in. He was to get a taste of his own medicine, but escaped his cardboard fate when Viol heard his desperate pleas about his siblings.
I'm slowly working on the specifics of their encounter but anyway here are bingo charts for the both of them filled by each other:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. RGB trio (Fuschia & Abel* & Viol)
Fuschia thought he'd just have to avoid Viol for the rest of life as long as he worked at LDS, but little did he know meeting up with his old schoolmate, Abel, had a surprise in store for him... Their theme song is guy.exe by superfruit
4. Abel & Viol
After Abel defected to Xyz, the two ended up being in the same refugee camp. While they knew of each other's existence, they never spoke a word to each other for the entire war, only ever enjoying each other's silent company as they ate their meals in companiable silence. It was only after the war ended when they both returned to their 'spot' as a last hurrah of sorts that they finally exchanged names.
The two look stunning no matter the state they're in, and are often mistaken to be models. While they can be found hanging out at the most fashionable cafes in Maiami on the weekend, they'll also do the strangest things together, such as going fishing in the middle of a heavy storm.
Tumblr media
arteeeeee omggggggggggg🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟👍👍 c079x BIG CATCH ‼️🎣🐟💯yall cray crayfish fr lmao!!! aluberenjoyer who took this photo
Tumblr media
5. Fusion Mean Girls (Fuschia + Auvria* + Abel +α)
At any given day during a school day, Fuschia and Auvria can be seen sitting at the back of the classroom doing anything but paying attention, such as painting their nails. Despite that, if you were to call on them, they'd be able to answer the question with ease. This catches the eye of a certain Obelisk Force member...
On the battlefield, the pink-headed pair often play a game to see who can collect more resistance scarves in a given time limit.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
6. Arte & Alcidis
In school, the two quickly became friends over a shared interest in the field of design. While Alcie would hesitate calling Arte a friend then, the loss of her comforting presence during the war made him realise how reliant he had been on her company. During the invasion, he writes many letters (diary entries) to her, knowing that she would want to know everything that happened. He doesn't actually give them to her when she's revived, because he's let himself be very vulnerable in them.
Tumblr media
A handy dandy chart for an overview... (Not exhaustive because it only includes my own+1 ocs)
Things I wanted to draw but didn't have the time:
sillies trio meeting and their antennas reacting to each other
jackie vs hamelin rooftop duel
hamelin conducting a field study as jackie watches
post-canon alcie and arte hanging out
fuschia jackie vibing together
and a bunch of other combinations with my friends' ocs!! keels over
➞[Next] Day 5: Swap (Coming soon!)

Oh, I guess I should introduce myself now
I completely forgot to make an introductory pin thingy, so here’s a verrrry long mess of an intro that you should probably skip if you value your time lol. Will edit as needed.
About me, the human(?)
Current hyperfixation: Madoka Magica
Name: I go by Elsewhere, here.
Gender: Cis Female (she/her exclusively)
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Age: Teenager, minor
Disagnoses: ASD, UDD, UAD.
Hobbies: art, fandom, writing, reading, being a chaos, blasting music, asking very dumb questions in tumblr
The kind of stuff you’ll find on this blog: Random thoughts, random memes, random fandom stuff, whatever the heck I feel like, moths, random art, tons and tons of polls I love polls
My a e s t h e t I c : Some unholy combination of Cottagecore, Crow/Goblincore, changelingcore, Yami Kawaii, Kawaii, pastel goth, casual goth, gothic Lolita, fairycore, “dreamy kei”, and mental illness
Country: USA. Or the void. Who knows?
DNI: MAPs, MAP supporters, zoophiles
FAQ about this mess:
“Will you talk about politics/drama?”
I prefer not to get into political fights, as all people are entitled to an opinion and bickering on the internet helps no one. However, I will occasionally pipe up on “clear cut” or trivial issues. (Ex: MAPS are bad. Stuff like that.)
“Trivial issues?”
I will argue about stupid random stuff like cheese flavor lol. Because it’s funny and nobody gets hurt.
“Religion?”
Christian, though I am very against forcing any kind of belief system on anyone. Humans have the right of free will. Treat people like the humans they are.
“If you’re Christian, do you support people like JW and LDS?”
“Christian” cults are terrible. JW and LDS are not Biblical and never have been. Their practices and the way they treat their members is horrible.
“Are you a f u r r y ?”
No. But I do occasionally dabble in Anthro characters and such, and do like a smattering of furry artists/animators
“Are you a therian?”
Nope
“Are you an uwu gamer egirl”
*confused terror noises*
“Nicknames?”
I’m fine with those! Just nothing mean 😅
“DMs? Asks?”
I’m alright with DMs! If you’re tagged as mature/are an adult above 18-19, I’m going to be pretty apprehensive tho. It’s not your fault, just…the internet is dangerous, yunno? As for asks, PLEASE ASK ME THINGS, I LOVE BEING ASKED THINGS
“Do you write fanfic?”
No…..at least, not yet :3
“Wanna join my discord?”
My apologies, I cannot…
Random facts:
My favorite animals are moths, cats, foxes, and…many, many more.
My favorite moth is the Luna Moth, but I also like Rosy Maples and Death’s head moths.
I have glasses
My character color is Lilac
My other favorite colors are pink, black, turquoise, blue…almost anything pastel….so freaking many oh my gosh-
my favorite musical artist is PinnoccioP!

-other favorites: Cal, also deserves better
-Notes: This book series is a mess and I don’t even really like it I just think Maven and Cal are cool and that’s it. All you’re going to get from me on this series is angry rants about how Maven could’ve had such a cool redemption arc and they ruined him and how cool Cal is.

@wombtater submitted: No id necessary! The tattoo was done by @jenntattooess on Instagram.
I used to be severely entomophobic, and the first bug I picked up that helped me get over the fear was a g*psy moth caterpillar. I went back and forth on the ethics of getting an invasive species tattooed, but the lil stinkers are too close to my heart I guess.
Beautiful tattoo and little friend visiting the tattoo! They may be invasive, but they're still pretty dang cute. And I love that they helped you get over your fear :)
For future reference, they are now referred to as the LD moth (as in Lymantria dispar - also sometimes LDD moth for the subpsecies Lymantria dispar dispar) because the original common name is considered a slur.

ask game: c and v!
(fanfic ask meme referenced) [link to ask box]
did you deliberately ask for my cv??? i just think its funny that you picked those two letters at the same time specifically sfgkjhjaks
C: What character do you identify with most?
i mean its hard for me to choose one?? im definitely the sort of fic writer that puts a little bit of themself into every character they touch. i will say though that the effect is most pronounced on the vessels, on markoth (of all fuckin characters), and probably on hornet?
so like. its hard for me to choose the character i identify with the Most cause. they all serve different purposes, i guess. its hard for me to phrase this fgkjs
if you forced me to pick one, itd probably be orchid. for reasons i cant exactly go into yet cause spoilers kjfghkjs
V: A secondary (or underrated) character you want to see more of in fic?
id love to see more of the moths in fic. that includes the seer, markoth, thistlewind, maaaaaaaaybe karina? but also just the moths in general. maybe i just havent seen a lot of fic with them in it, but it seems a lot of fic largely focuses on the main sibling trio—which is good and delightful—and quirrel, the dreamers, the pale court, and like. what about the moths. if the moths are mentioned at all its usually just the seer. what do people think about markoth and thistlewind? their personalities and how they interact? im also huge on the ‘markoth is the seer’s son’ headcanon so id love to see more on that too
i mean markoth and thistlewind are canonically dead. which. might contribute to some of this, i know, but. so many fics go ‘hey fuck you none of these characters are dead because I Said So,’ so its not really an excuse?? asdfkjghjks
just. idk man. i feel like theres a lot of potential in markoth’s character, based on the little tidbit of personality we see from him and what we hear from thistlewind. the other moths are mostly a blank slate too. id love to see how other people develop them :)

Hello I am back, could I possibly request a "*slaps roof of doc* this bad boy can fit so much whump baby" perchance? I am afraid but in a fun exciting way
Coming back for seconds, I see? (<3333)
Ok so this one actually is set during Riddle of Ages, with a canon divergence. I tried to use some lines that don't give anything away about the plot of Riddle of Ages and I think it's generally pretty vague, but I totally understand if you want to stay on the safe side about spoilers!
So, in case you don't want to chance it, here is a consolation snippet from bigg sad:
Believe me, there are a plethora of other, more enjoyable ways I wish to pass the evening. Shall I list them out for you? I think I will, in the form of a poem, since you have no other choice than but to listen. Consider it your penance. Curtain looks as though he’d genuinely rather be carried off by a swarm of bees than have to listen to Constance recite a poem.
and I'll put the other one below the cut!
Kate hastily unbuckled her utility belt and slid it down the corridor towards the Ten Men. Then she set her tranquilizer gun on the floor and sent that spinning away, too. It came to rest, pinned under the toe of McCracken’s well-polished shoe.  “See? I’m surrendering,” Kate said, biting back the flurry of curses she wanted to fling at these vile men. (Preferably reinforced with her fists.) “Leave her alone.”
this one is Milk Chooses Violence, The Fic (Kate Edition) :)
