#narcolepsy in it’s glory

[soberscientistlife]

Harriet Tubman was around twelve years old, enslaved, when a fellow enslaved man attempted to run away. After being found and brought back, Harriet and a few others were instructed to help tie him up to be whipped. She refused, and when the man attempted to run again, she blocked the doorway to help him escape. An overseer threw a two-pound weight at the man but hit Harriet instead, fracturing her skull. Throughout her life, she suffered from severe headaches and narcolepsy from this incident.

A petite woman of only about five feet, Harriet was strong-willed and courageous, and as she grew older, she became determined to escape to the North. Upon learning in 1849 that she would be sold, Harriet, now in her mid-20s, decided the time was right. One night, she, along with two of her brothers, ran away. Her brothers soon turned back, and for the rest of her journey, Harriet was alone without friends. She walked at night, hid during the day, didn't know who to trust, where to eat, at times she had shelter, often she slept outside on the ground overlooked by the stars. After about ninety miles of travel, she crossed into the North to freedom.

Reflecting about making it into the North, she said, "I looked at my hands, to see if I was de same person now I was free. Dere was such a glory over everything, de sun came like gold trou de trees, and over de fields, and I felt like I was in heaven."

Soon after her escape, Harriet went back into the South to help some family members to escape. After getting them North, she went back to the South to help more family members. Then she went to help others. Harriet would make many trips over the years, rescuing approximately seventy people. Of the experience, she would say, "I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say — I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger."

Have never shared a headcanon before so here's one I really like: Briar's parents' marriage life is one hot mess.

Unlike other princesses, Sleeping Beauty didn't get to know her husband beforehand, one day she just got woken up by some guy.

At first, there really was love (or else SB wouldn't have woken up in the first place), but it was being heavily empowered by physical atraction. They got married after a few years, ruled side by side, had one kid after another, yadda yadda. All was well...until they realized they have nothing in common.

Sleeping Beauty has narcolepsy, she sleeps half a day and uses the other half roaming the castle's walls, it's not just the sleeping tendencies that keeps her inside; it's Sleeping Beauty herself. Who could blame Briar's mom for having a hard time living in the wrong era anyway?

Her husband though, he's the complete opposite, always going on quests, conquering stuff that doesn't need to be conquered, dreaming about the kind of power and glory a 5 year-old would be excited about.

Funnily enough, neither actually spent time with their children, and both are secretly happy that they don't have to see eachother until nightfall.

They had so many kids and for what? Briar practically speaking is a better parent than the two of them combined. It's embarassing and they know that. But hey, Briar is an awesome big sister, no need to take that away from her, no need for them to actually do anything.

Then there's that stupid fued with Sleeping Beauty's side of the family. Briar's dad refused to share a meal with his brother-in-law. Every time they meet, it's like all the air is sucked out of the room: suffocating.

They no longer have dinner with eachother, and Sleeping Beauty's children never had a proper visit of their own uncle and aunt's castle. Her husband enjoys that, thinks they should just cut all ties with that family. There's just no going back to the Beast's palace now. Not on the King's watch, that is.

Sitting beside Sleeping Beauty is now a man whom she was forced to call "husband" by destiny. Briar knows, but she'd rather not tell anybody. After all, no royal fairytale family is known to have a terrible marriage life. That's too absurd for The World of Ever After.

[sillyboypersonasixconcept]

The actual base concept

So I'll make this all nice and somewhat neat.

CW: Mentions of Suicide and drugs.

General theming:

So, the general theme is one I quite like. It is Vengeance

Each dungeon revolves around people who 'have it coming', people who don't do good things and get their comeuppance from the main cast.

The main visual theme is glitching and like, pixels.

The main color is Purple, but green shows up a fair bit too. It doesn't have a reason other than purple is cool.

The Shadow World:

Ok so this refers to places in persona games like Mementos/The Palaces.

For this, it is 'Hit Spots' (it'll make sense when I explain what the main group does)

So these represent what the person in question kind of.. does. It shows how they have 'polluted' the world in a way. Thus, their Hit Spot Appears.

It'd be a distorted version of the most important place to that person, with ways to show how they appear to others and in the end, themself.

It is accessed through, get this, a video game console like a DS of some sort. Portable Gaming Console is what I'm getting at. It shows many things, but we'll get into it later.

What does the main cast do?:

So, your main guys... they're all fr silly. See, they're all... dududududu

Assassins!

Thus, 'Hit' spots. They go in and they kill the shadow in the hit spot. Which then... drives the person to suicide usually.

The people with shadows that you go kill, are called polluters.

That is thanks to the fact that their influence is polluting the real world as well as people's subconscious.

So, you also go destroy what motivates them to 'continue the pollution' aka continue being horrible people.

So yeah, your main cast are a group of assassins.

Speaking of the main cast!

Confidants/Party Members:

So you've got your concepts, who're the characters? welp, here they are!

MAIN CHARACTER

Mafuyu Okabe Female Arcana: The Fool "A quiet reserved girl. She isn't known for sticking out too much, minus her clearly dyed hair. She stays quiet, and reads a lot. She apparently has a younger sister named 'Kyoko', but some think otherwise." Party Members

Daisuke Osamu Male Arcana: The Star "An optimistic and hopeful soul, Daisuke is really determined to make a change. Despite every time he tries, he fails miserably. He's currently working on leading a protest against this theater. He's very much.. naive."

Marlene Benninghoff Female Arcana: The Hanged Man "A foreign exchange student from Germany, she can't really communicate that well. She still is a good friend despite the language barrier. She's able to see things in such a new perspective, which is helpful for seeing the deeper meaning sometimes."

Kaoru Tanaka Female Arcana: The Sun "A loud and cheerful girl, Kaoru is.. real popular with guys. Even with her refusal to wear school uniform and strange harajuku fashion sense. She's got an opinion, and by god will you hear her."

Takumi Tarō Male Arcana: The Tower "A semi-known dancer, Takumi is a really full of himself guy at first glance. He simply doesn't want people to think of him as a pushover, because deep down that's what he is. He fears authority and wants to be the leader most of the time. He has a fear of water, nobody quite knows why."

Kanade Tenma Female Arcana: Judgement "A poor unfortunate soul, Kanade is usually fine! If you exclude her narcolepsy. She hates any warm drink and any long story, and she'll let you know if she feels like she may need to be taken somewhere to be safe if she falls asleep. Kanade loves money, on the other hand, so she takes tons and tons of odd jobs to keep a decent amount of money on her at any given time."

Mai Mayumi Female Arcana: The Moon "A girl with a passion for music, Mai is dedicated to becoming the best pianist of the modern day. She used to have a bad tendency of fighting, but she grew out of that. Now she has the eyepatch to prove that she was real rough and tumble back in her glory. She'd rather be in a concert hall than doing anything else though."

Mint / Kyoko Feminine Arcana: The Chariot -MASCOT CHARACTER- "Mint is a strange falcon-like thing.. with a real loud shrill voice to add onto that, though in the real world.. she is different. She becomes a girl named 'Kyoko', and she pretty much just lives life out, pretending to be Mafuyu (MC)'s sister."

Saki Otori Female Arcana: Strength "Saki, despite her name seeming quite upbeat and happy, is a dark and melancholy person. She doesn't have a lot of interests, nobody really gets through to her. She has a love for the supernatural, though. She started a club for those who also enjoy the supernatural, but so far she's the only member of this club. Saki is easier to talk to once you get the ball rolling with a friendship with her. She always carries this book, which nobody but her knows the contents of."

OTHER CONFIDANTS

Kazuyuki Kouki Male Arcana: Justice "Currently, Kouki works as a detective. He's caring for Mafuyu and Kyoko as of now too, though he is rarely home. He's working on a case involving strange increases in suicides and murders, and he just.. needs to be at work a majority of the time."

Masaki Ichiro Male Arcana: The Lovers "A matchmaker at Takarano Highschool, Masaki is known for his tendency to accidentally break up relationships. He doesn't let this get him down though, he will succeed one day! ... Someday."

Yuuto Yota Male Arcana: The Magician "A guy with such a strong interest in blacksmithing that he has begun making model weapons. He loves seeing how he can make new models out of scraps and junk."

Kanata Asahi Unspecified Arcana: Death "Kanata hates loud noises, people, metal things clinging on each other and the feeling of chalk. Though, they find comfort in being around Mafuyu and Kyoko. They'll often go out of their way to see them, because they love the company of the two sisters."

Chiaki Yu Female Arcana: The Hierophant "Chiaki spends most of her time investigating paranormal activity within Nara. With a camera at her side and nothing really stopping her, she just goes around late at night taking photos."

PEOPLE WITH DUNGEONS

Aki Akiyama Female Polluter 1, spreader of violence "A theatre owner, known for her disregard of employees, to her they’re playthings. Not people. She launders money, commits fraud, abuses her employees, kills those who quit or stand in her way, etc. This influences her higher up workers to do the same. Eventually leading to her hit spot manifesting as her theatre. Her motivator is money and her shadow is killed after being bribed by one of the Assassins."

Chikako Nishimura Female Polluter 2, spreader of seduction "An extremely greedy actor/streamer. She lives in a large house with 5 other streamers, and she's done horrible things to the other streamers in the house. She promotes the businesses of other Polluters and actively condones their actions. Her motivator is another streamer who left the house, and her shadow is killed once they remind her of how they are gone and she is left crying and vulnerable."

Yuka Kishikawa Male Polluter 3, Spreader of misery "Yuka is a powerful drug dealer. Mainly selling weed. He will often encourage staying with him and doing drugs rather than going to work or seeing family, so that when time comes for paying for the drugs, you will not have the money. So, he kills you. He leaves the families of these people in despair and misery. His motivator is bloodshed, so his shadow is killed when they offer him a way to have as many victims without needing to deal drugs as he wants."

Osamu Asuka Male Polluter 4, Spreader of Falsehood "Osamu is a renowned chess grandmaster, except.. well.. he cheats. He'll often have his opponent's strategies fed to a bot which plays a simulated match. he then uses the bots moves to win, and he has never been questioned. He is praised and thus more idolize him. His motivator is his ego, and his shadow is killed thanks to losing in a chess game within his hit spot, leaving him open to be sniped."

Okara Muto Male Polluter 5, Spreader of injustice. "Okara works as a judge, he lets people get away with awful crimes and locks them away for a long time for petty crimes. He lets murderers and mobsters off the hook all the time thanks to how often he is bribed. He loves being the justice, and being able to do as he pleases. His motivator is power, and his shadow is killed by poison gas filling his hit spot."

Kurou Ueda Female Polluter 6, spreader of destruction "Kurou is politician, who has her opponents assassinated before they cam do anything. She has been in power for years, and simply lets all the horrible things slide. Her motivator is order, and her shadow is killed when her wine is poisoned."

KAMI / THE CLEANSER No Gender THE CLEANSE SHALL BEGIN "The Cleanser is what is threatening the world as we know it, thanks to the polluters. It sees the world as dirty, and unless it is proven wrong, it will wipe out all life on earth and cleanse it."

EXTRA THINGS OF NOTE

Each party member will get their own post that covers them in general.

In game, you would be able to romance any non-family member or non-adult confidant. Regardless of gender.

The story will be revealed later.

[abookishdreamer]

Character Intro: Hypnos (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The Sloth Prince, The Dreamweaver by the people of Olympius

Lazy Bones by Thanatos

The Snore by Apollo

Babe by Pasithea

Age- 18 (immortal)

Location- The Underworld

Personality- Hypnos is very laid back and calm for the most part, rarely losing his temper or getting angry. He speaks in a soft nonchalant tone. He does have a tendency to be lazy and not take an initiative on things at times, but the things (and people) that are important to him have his undivided attention. He's in a relationship.

Being the god of sleep, his powers/abilities include the power to shapeshift into any form he chooses, abstract or not, memory alteration/retrieval, the power of invisibility, and dream travel. He also has the power of flight, due to his shimmering dark blue wings that sprout from either side of his head. He also has the power of hypnokinesis, being able to create/control poppies, inducing narcolepsy & insomnia in others, communicating with spirits, and shadow manipulation. His natural scent is of fresh laundry & warm milk.

He's one of the middle children of Nyx (goddess of the night) and Erebus (god of darkness).

Hypnos lives in a mansion just a few miles away from his twin brother Thanatos (god of death). The front door is made out of Stygian Iron, with a wreath of red poppies on it. Inside, the color scheme is gray, silver, light blue, and black. There’s lots of comfy, soft, & plush furniture. There’s loads of fluffy pillows and warm quilts on his bed.

He loves his family very much and is really close to his younger brother Aether (god of the upper atmosphere, celestial bodies, & heavenly light). Hypnos barely remembers catching a glimpse of his eldest brother Nosos (god of illness, plague, & disease) a few years ago.

In the band Death Theater, Hypnos plays the synth keyboard & does background vocals. Unrelated, he can also play the violin, cello, and clarinet.

Hypnos is the only one (aside from Hemera) in his family that doesn't mind traveling from the Underworld to Olympius. He has a generally warm reception by the people of Olympius. They often thank him for the peaceful dreams he provides.

He's really good friends with Hades (god of the dead), Lykos (goddess of wolves), Hecate (goddess of magic & witchcraft), Ailuros (goddess of cats & warfare), Hermes, Aphrodite (goddess of love & beauty), Urso (god of bears), Apollo (god of the sun, music, poetry, healing, medicine, archery, plague, light, & knowledge) and Artemis (goddess of the hunt & moon). He’s also cool with Aergia (goddess of sloth, laziness, & idleness) and Paregoros (goddess of soothing words).

He used to have a crush on Selene (Titaness of the moon).

Hypnos regrets helping Hera one time to "teach" Zeus a lesson. Let's just say, it didn't end well.

Hypnos owns a chain of mattress stores throughout Olympius as well as a company that manufactures various sleep aids like melatonin patches & sleep sound machines. He also sells his own merch which includes T-shirts, eye masks, hats, sweaters, key chains, full body pajamas, & phone cases! He also grows his own strain of weed- made with Underworld poppies & laced with black opium.

He’s fond of wearing slouchy jeans, oversized T-shirts, and long sleeve sweaters! He once came into work wearing a full pajama suit, much to Hades’ shock!

Hypnos wears his thick curly hair as a fro. He uses the Glory's Crown shea butter, shamppo, conditioner, deep conditioner and the coconut milk curling custard.

His favorite meal is ribs & brisket, slathered with a special bourbon based barbeque sauce (his father Erebus guards the special recipe closely). Hypnos eats it with his mom's green bean casserole.

He loves the chocolate chip cookies from Hollyhock's Bakery!

Hypnos' go-to drink is a hot chocolate (says his mom makes the best, flavored with cinnamon and spiced rum). He also likes cola, ginger ale, the large black iced tea from The Roasted Bean, as well as the chamomile tea his girlfriend brews.

In his free time, he's quite fond of taking naps! Hypnos also enjoys reading, yoga, going to the spa, cloud surfing, watching TV, watching movies, listening to music, and has even enjoyed knitting & sewing (after being a part of The Moirai’s knitting/sewing group).

Hypnos has been dating Pasithea (goddess of hallucinations & relaxation) for a few months. They first met at an annual Summer Solstice Music Festival. He got up the courage to ask her out on Fatestagram and their first date was at a spa. He hasn't introduced her to his parents or his other siblings (aside from Thanatos). Hypnos has met her mother Nárkosi (goddess of sedation).

"Sleep is my personal reset button."

So I heard we were sharing red dragons?

Here are some of my faves :D Lore tidbits under the cut!

Top Row: Glory / Nia / Sunder

Glory is the warrior who defends my clan's agricultural land. She's a belligerent hothead who doesn't really fit in with the other chill dragons who work on the farm, but she still appreciates having a warm meal and a roof over her head so she isn't complaining about the arrangement.

Nia is Thunder Hollow's event planner. The clan celebrates all major elemental holidays, plus a few unique ones scattered throughout the year, so Nia's quite busy on the average day! She has narcolepsy and may or may not have been put under the magical influence of another red dragon I'll be talking about today...

Sunder is the kind dragon who operates Thunder Hollow's inn, which is named after him. He has a checkered past and wasn't always a great dragon, but he works every day to become the best version of himself and amend for the wrongs he has done.

Middle Row: Hiro (he/him) / Kiliac / Leonidas / Kingsley (he/him)

Hiro (he/him) is the record keeper for the Gatherers' Guild, one of the largest (and strangest) organizations in Thunder Hollow. The Guild offers a steady home to any dragon who can provide some sort of skill; all Guild members are responsible for setting out into Sornieth on the trail of any items the Guild is commissioned to gather. Its leader is a rather eccentric dragon who has organized the Guild according to a bizarrely strict hierarchy; it's Hiro's job to keep the chaos orderly and archive all the assigned and completed task for posterity's sake. He's a determined, quiet lad with a lot of loyalty to the Guild.

Kiliac is Thunder Hollow's Plague ambassador...and a rather vile example of dragonkind. Besides having an unpleasant persona in general, Kiliac works masterfully behind the scenes to orchestrate mass death and chaos across Sornieth. Death itself is her charge, and she will do anything to restore a "proper" 1:1 balance of death and birth. She has historically used Nia (mentioned above) as a pawn to ensnare dragons on the road to exaltation, though that particular enterprise has since closed down...for now.

Leonidas is an expert woodsman who helps guide dragons through the Private Sector. He isn't quite a dragon himself, but, like any creature willing to make peace, he is more than welcome in Thunder Hollow. When not busy with his guide duties, Leonidas scavenges in the forest for truffles and other fungi to sell in the market.

Kingsley (he/him) is another employee of the Gatherers' Guild. He's a bit of a generalist who often tags along on the missions of others but doesn't profess any particular skill. He also helps keep the Guild clean and its workers fed whenever he isn't accompanying anyone into the field. He's a bit of a pompous hothead, but he cares deeply for others and just wants to do the right thing.

Bottom Row: Reed, Hakkaido, and Envy

Reed is the adopted son of Thunder Hollow's major clothesmakers. He works as a tailor in their shop and abroad--he often follows shipments of apparel to their destination to ensure the recipients fit comfortably into their new garb.

Hakkaido is the reclusive millworker for Thunder Hollow's farms. He's a quiet and troubled soul who can hear the voice of the Shade fragment that lives in the land. He worries about what others will think of him, not to mention the possibility that he might be consumed by the Shade through this anomalous link. He came to Thunder Hollow to get away from the Shade and only found himself deeper in its clutches; he stays because he knows he'll never be free of it, and Thunder Hollow is a peaceful enough place to suffer through this affliction.

Envy is the head of Thunder Hollow's elite guard program, and currently one of the five annually elected Councilors. He came to Thunder Hollow early on, fleeing from a life of crime that robbed him of his antennae. He has since reformed into a powerful swordsdrake with a deep passion for defending his clan from the Shade.

#whew I really had to bully Tumblr to let me post all these images side by side #I have a lot more red dragons than I thought I did! #there were many that couldn't make the cut :0 #...I guess that's part of the deal when you have like 400 dragons XD #flight rising #fr #dragon share #d: Glory #d: Nia #d: Sunder #d: Hiro #d: Kiliac #d: Leonidas #d: Kingsley #d: Reed #d: Hakkaido #d: Envy #opal gene #poison gene #paint gene #speckle gene #freckle gene #crackle gene #patchwork gene #spinner gene #noxtide gene #breakup gene #skink gene #firefly gene #savannah gene

dog eat dog ch.4

That was a little too easy.

Billy was hoping Harrington would put up more of a fight. Have some more balls. Where’s the glory in this if the guy just stands there like a fucking zombie?

Harrington seems…out of it lately.

Billy wants to thrash some life back into him. Make him realize how pathetic he’s become. He wants a fucking challenge, not a loopy-eyed doormat on the verge of narcolepsy.

Tonight, Billy’s in Nancy’s room, working on that stupid science project and he’s just not feeling it. Restless, he finds himself on high alert the entire time. Arms crossed and looking for something he can’t name. Scanning her girlish room as she rambles nervously about frog eggs.

As much as he told himself that he wanted to rail Nancy for the hell of it, the idea doesn’t hold as much appeal now.

In reality, Billy wants Harrington to watch. Preferably while tied to a chair, eyes taped open. Squirming in his Levi’s while his girl screams for more.

The dumbass deserves it for taking his goddamn parking spot.

Kagerou Project DSMP AU where instead of August 15 being the worst day ever to die, it’s November 16 and everything goes wrong.

Obviously not everything would be 1-1 especially in terms of what eyes they characters receive and the like but fundamentally 3/4 SBI would be the og Mekakushi Dan, with Wilbur taking on Ayano’s role a bit but he has Kano’s deceiving eyes. Techno is both Kido and Konoha in that he’s the leader of the Mekakushi Dan after Wilbur dies but he has the snake of awakening eyes. Tommy is sorta the Kano stand in but he has Momo’s snake of drawing eyes. Tubbo is Seto except he’s not actually one of the SBI, just Tommy’s friend, and he has the snake of stealing eyes like Seto. Ranboo gets to be Marry in all her snakey glory. I’m thinking Hibiya and Hiyori stand-ins would be Jack and Eryn respectively and get concealing eyes, dunno know I just thought it’d be cool. The Konoha stand in would be Sapnap but instead of have the awakening eyes he gets focusing eyes for shits and giggles. Then our Ene can be George receiving the snake of opening eyes mostly because the whole narcolepsy/insomnia thing work well. Phil gets to be Kenjirou by process of elimination. Karl is our Momo but he gets Shintaro’s retaining eyes. Our actual story wise Shintaro is drum roll please- Quackity! Getting favoring eyes! Niki is also our Ayano because in this version Niki and Wilbur have a Hibiya and Hiyori situation where one remains in daze depending on the reset. Finally our Azami is Kristin because I said so and the snake of clearing eyes is Dream because of course he is.

Queen Glory of the RainWings

Ye of terrible governmental implications! The replacement Dragonet of Destiny, her Majesty of the Rain Forest, and who knows what else. There’s a lot to be said about Glory, a victim of abuse, a part in the cycle of violence, and the child who knew better than an entire queendom of dragons. Glory is an unfortunate character, both personally and in the story as a whole. 

I have a lot of opinions about Glory. Bless yourself upon them if you deserve so.

Design Headcanon

Despite appearing colorful and bright, especially among her fellow dull scaled siblings, her scales are much plainer than a traditional RainWing’s. Most of which tend to have terribly neon scales correlating with their emotions. Glory tends to have disgusted green and irritable red scales reflecting her mood. The yellow is simply an accent, but mistaken by her subjects as muted amusement. Her scales easily flinch along to her emotions, but she finds that showing these colors gains the respect of her subjects, rather than lose it like she did with the guardians, who never truly did pick up on what these colors meant.

Glory has inspiration from a few different animals. Chameleons are out of the way. She also has a similar “beak” to a swan, a dark area on her face that she simply can’t change the color of. She also has dexterous claw talons, excellent for gripping onto trees or delicate dexterity. And the oddest thing about RainWings is that they initially appear wingless, similar to a draco lizard. RainWing ribs expand and and glide rather than the intense flying that most dragons do, which made her appear weaker than her fellow dragonets of destiny. She always keeps her wings flared, which is risky and makes her underside vulnerable, but it was better than being called a wingless serpent by her guardians.

Glory is a very cautious individual. She doesn’t walk until she knows where she’s going. She won’t begin to walk until she’s sure she can get there confidently. Glory is surprisingly prideful and avoids not to waste her breath, even if she chooses the wrong battles to fight.

Implication of Heritage

If I were to write Glory, I would completely boot out the idea that Glory was biologically destined for the throne. The whole moment where Grandeur spills her guts and explains the whole narrow-minded royal blood idea, that was stupid. Because it implies that all overcoming of adversity will be rewarded with the fact that all those who deserve it will be rewarded with their desires, not for hard work they used to achieve those goals, but simply because they’re supposed to.

Instead, I would make Kinkajou a convenient character in the scene to have a moment of importance, but it doesn’t mean she’ll be the new queen. But I’ll get to that later on. Grandeur will recognize Glory’s selfless and initiative as the prime reason she is more deserving to be queen. The idea that she’s fighting so desperately to help the NightWing prisoners, and that’s reflected by how she puts away the chance to win the Queen Competition for the life of this little dragonet.

Glory should have been Queen through initiative and new perspective, not the idea that she was “smarter” than the RainWings or that the RainWings were too “lazy” to have a functioning leader. She should have been a respectable character who overcomes her biting remarks to be truly selfless, put aside her needs and desires to help this tribe. Be the leader that Sunny would look up to.

Miscellaneous Thoughts

Glory doesn’t honestly get the proper respect as a grumpy character considering the trauma she’s went through and considering her entire life has been ruined as those who raised her repeatedly told her she shouldn’t exist and that they ought to kill her. Not as an empty threat! The acceptance of her situation seemed so understated (until it was revealed she had a plan) and no one really respects that she had the shortest end of the stick compared to the other Dragonets of Destiny. 

Along with that, I feel like it’d be interesting if Glory had an innate distrust or fear or SOMETHING of SkyWings. After being berated by a SkyWing guardian, being meant to be a SkyWing her whole life, Clay unintentionally claiming Peril as the missing SkyWing, and being prisoner and biggest prize of Queen Scarlet of the SkyWings, I don’t see why she wouldn’t be a little more afraid or hostile in a scenario with one. 

One headcanon of mine is that Glory has narcolepsy, a byproduct of not getting enough sun as a sun dependent tribe. She frequently lost control of her muscles during sparring practice with Kestrel, leading her to slither helplessly and worsen her image. She pardoned her sleepiness through consistent naps Under the Mountain, but it became harder to excuse after they left the mountain. Once the sun hit her scales on the marble tree in Scarlet’s clutches, she finally gave in and slept for a majority of that time, otherwise overwhelmed and unable to move. Unfortunately, along with classic form of narcolepsy, Glory also has hallucinations. She often interprets her hallucinations as Kestrel or Queen Scarlet, long after their deaths. Despite denying special treatment as the RainWing Queen, she does give into sun times to satiate the urge in her to rest.

Narcolepsy is also described as being triggered by high surges of emotion. Another reason why Glory does her best to suppress her emotions, to stay in control of her consciousness.

It can negatively affect relationships with other people by being triggered during these surges of emotion and as a result, Glory is not quite as emotionally connected to her siblings as the others are. As the consequences of the war subsides, she wishes to try making up for lost time and finally respond to her narcolepsy instead of be frustrated and angry with it.

Glory’s reign of the Rain Forest Queendom is characterized not by her inherent intelligence over the other RainWings. In fact, a majority of the beginning of her rule is learning the rich history and important traditions of RainWings from Duke Handsome. Due to her unfamiliarity with oral history, her first order is to try and record as much history and as many orders as possible to keep the RainWings’ respect and learn about her own culture. 

As well as that, Glory steels herself, with the sympathy of her siblings, Prince Jambu, Duke Handsome, and the other Queens, when ruling the NightWings. So easily could she take out her anger on these innocent victims of their own actions. But in the end, she learns it’s more important to be the bigger person and move forward in peace, not dwell in hatred.

Despite that, Glory is still apprehensive before directly meeting with SkyWing figures such as Queen Ruby. 

Glory and Tsunami probably have the closest relationship out of any of the other Dragonets of Destiny. Tsunami looks up to Glory as a queen and Glory makes fun of her lack of royal blood for it. Tsunami, after apprenticing with General Shark, also assists in the disciplining and order in the Rain Forest Queendom. Tsunami, Sunny, and Glory are the main royalty figures establishing a fairer justice system in the Rain Forest so there are no more Chameleons and that individuals like Mastermind have a place to go.

LGBT+ Headcanons

Glory, for a large part of the story we see her, is probably questioning her orientation. She’s never felt the right to be loved and never been able to emotionally connect with anyone enough to feel worthy of affection. Eventually, she comes out as a lesbian! Proudly leading her two tribes with acceptance and understanding. The Rain Forest proudly leads the largest Pride Parades with the SandWing queendom following closely behind. (Which means Deathbringer x Glory is not canon in my headcanons! He can ROT.)

Glory is also a trans woman! She did not embrace it easily with the role models she had growing up. She had always been told she was born incorrectly (for OTHER reasons, but it’s for the metaphor), but with the unconditional support from her siblings, especially her solidarity with Starflight, she was able to come to terms with her identity and be even more prideful because of it. Fully taking her destiny and her life into her own talons has empowered her more than anything after the events of the SandWing War of Succession.

character facts under the cut

Humidpaw, nephew to the beloved Prismstar. Humidpaw never got to meet his uncle but grew up on this fantastical stories of the late leader of gloryclan. Humidpaw talks big about wanting to follow in his foot steps and become a great leader. Humidpaw is a big handful and him and Awepaw don’t really get along. but his cousin, Agonypaw get along a good bit better enjoying training together. however Humidpaw is a little unaware of how talking about their grandfather’s glory makes her nervous. 

Awepaw, a cat who cats very against their given name. Their very morbid and often like to point out the negative of things, being a real bummer. 

Awepaw likes collecting crunchy dead bugs and decorating their main with them.

Rancortail, a strong warrior who is a pretty blank slate. she is very ‘did ya know?’ kinda gal, often being able to have trivia about whatever is mentioned, weather is be able whatever crab scuttled by or some long dead cat of one of the clans. or even the old ancient clan. 

Tranquilstorm, mentor to the newest apprentice agonypaw. Revelstar gave agonypaw to Tranquilstorm knowing that their late sister was dear friends of prismstar before she died. Tranquilstorm seemed to be quite and gloomy before she got her apprentice.

Diversity in The Sandman

So it hasn’t even been officially cast yet and I’m already seeing people bitching on Tumblr with things like “Is Despair still going to be the only fat Endless?!”

And then someone else said that the only trans character “can’t go to the moon because she’s trans.”  The only character who told Wanda she can’t do something was Thessaly AKA Larissa, a very not-very-nice character who later betrays Morpheus.  Seeing Wanda in the afterlife at the end of that story arc was supposed to show that Thessaly had been wrong all along.  

But anyway...

 An “inclusivity” list.  

I can’t believe I have to write this in regard to The Sandman...

Heavy / Full Figured characters:   

Hazel.

Gilbert (Fiddler’s Green). 

Abel.

Despair.  

Night.

Characters with mental illness, disabilities, or need glasses: 

Gilbert - glasses.

Lucien - glasses.  Possibly some form of obsessive compulsiveness.  Hyperfixate on books.

Glory. - glasses. 

Cain - glasses.  Some form of obsessive compulsive disorder.  Hyperfixates on mysteries.   Thessaly - glasses.  

Alexander Burgess - glasses.  Also walked with a cane as he aged.  Eventually needed a wheelchar. (Might be more than just age there?)

Abel - Has a stutter.  Hyperfixates on secrets.  

Destiny - Blind (or sees everything all at once, giving the appearance or being blind.)  Odin - Missing an eye.   

Duma - Nonverbal (Angel of silence.)   

Mazikeen - Speech impairment due to half her face being paralyzed / decomposed. 

Mad Mod Witch AKA The Fashion Thing - Wears an eyepatch.  

Rachel - Drug addiction.  

Doctor Destiny / John Dee - Unspecified mental illness.  (Possible Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder.  Definite violent, sociopathic tendencies.) 

Delirium - Mental illness. Scott Free (Mr. Miracle) - Possible PTSD. (Chronic nightmares of childhood abuse.)  

Unity kinkaid - Sleeping disorder.  KLS.  “Sleeping Beauty syndrome.”  

Rose Walker - Recovering emotional disorder.  And possible narcolepsy.  

Lyta Hall - Recovering from a nervous breakdown.  

Racial diversity:

Morpheus - Has no specific race. Death - Has no specific race (most recent portrayal was by a Chinese woman doing her voice for the DC Showcase short.)

Desire - No specific race. Despair - No specific race. Destiny - No specific race.

Nada - Black. / Later reincarnation Chinese.

Eve - Possibly black.  (She’s currently depicted as black in the new comics.) Pharamond - Black. The Sandman: Ramadan - All the characters are Middle Eastern and Islamic

The Sandman: Dream Hunters - All the characters are Japanese. Sykes - Probably mixed race.

LGBTQ+ chraacters:

Lucifer - Male presenting / identifying angel.  They’re usually without distinct gender.  Panasexual.  Mazikeen - Female presenting / identifying demon. Panasexual. John Constantine - Panasexual. Judy - Lesbian. Donna  AKA Foxglove - Lesbian. Hazel - Lesbian.

Alexander Burgess - Gay or bisexual.  Paul McGuire - Gay.  (Considers Alexander Burgess to be the love of his life.)  Wanda - trans.  (And let me just establish here.   No, there is NOTHING in Sandman that claims magick won’t work for her.  There is only one transphobic character who claims that.  And that same character who tells her that also betrays Morpheus later.)

Desire - Genderfluid / nonbinary.  Panasexual.   Peggy - Gender nonconforming  

The Corinthian - Gay.  (Both incarnations.) Cluracan - Panasexual.   Nada - Possibly trans (chooses to reincarnate as a man.)

Choronzon - Definitely not straight.

Loki - Loki

Cain - Probably asexual. (The only comic to depict him with sexual interest has been decanonized. Abel - Probably asexual.     Lucien - Probably asexual.  (The only comic to depict him with sexual interest has been decanonized.  

Eve - Probably panasexual. (Not confirmed.)

Morpheus - Possibly in the ace spectrum.  Maybe demi pan-romantic. Notice the lack of depictions of physical attraction and in ten billion years he has only had six known lovers.

[jabberwockprince]

Alright, I have a challenge for you: Create a Rule of Rose OC and give some information about them

Okay I know you said just one OC but my dumb ass just had to make another pair of awful dysfunctional gays so here we go 

A l o t info about them under the cut and stuff !

In Amanda’s diary, she mentions a lot of other orphans that never show up in the game, so I took the liberty of taking both Basil and Leo for this challenge. They don’t even have wikipages so I said f u c k it - AnYWAY. Uh, I guess be careful with the possibly triggering content ahead, considering the nature of this game ! 

Basil 

Basil is the object of affection for Leo - as well as the orphanage’s oldest resident, having lived there all his life. Though he’s mostly presents himself as kind, gentle and soft-spoken - basking in the glory of being favoured by Hoffman and Martha -  he’s just as fucked up as the other children. 

It’s hinted that he found out his biological parents willingly abandoned him the moment he was born, leading Basil to see himself as “boring and unwanted”. Unable to cope, he began lying and making up fantastic stories to make himself more interesting, to the point where he believed his own delusions. However, this made him popular among the other orphans, who began looking up to him.

Basil claims to suffer from narcolepsy - although Leo subtly implies that Basil merely pretends to fall asleep whenever he doesn’t feel like dealing with something. Or when he’s unable to face the reality of the situation. This has earned him the title of “The Dreaming Prince”.

The reason the Red Crayon Aristocrat Club doesn’t mess with Basil (and subsequentially Leo) is because he used to keep the lonely and bedridden Wendy company, telling her countless of bedtime stories. However, their “friendship” can be seen as one-sided, since Basil just enjoyed the feeling of having his delusions validated and Wendy would believe everything he said. Including his own unhealthy views on love, making him somewhat responsible for the way she treated Jennifer. 

Leo 

Leo is the object of affection for Basil, but he’s also known as one of the biggest troublemakers due to his extreme dislike for authority figures or being bossed around. Though he behaves properly on his own and around Basil, his loud, abrassive and stubborn personality make him difficult to deal with. Needless to say, that’s the reason he got his title.

 He was fished out of the River Great Ouse by Hoffman, beaten, bloody and unconscious. Originally a docile and calm child, Leo changed drastically right after his recovery, when he realized he couldn’t remember a thing from his past - and that Hoffman nor Martha wouldn’t help him find out, already accepting him as another mouth to feed. His rebellious nature got him stuck with Basil, as the adults believed he could calm him down. 

Leo’s insomnia originates from his irrational fear of falling asleep, only to wake up back into his old life, despite being unable to remember - suggesting a turbulent past and that Leo’s injuries were caused either by someone he knew from the past or during his attempt at escaping said life. 

It’s hinted that Leo is dependant on Basil due to the lies he’s been fed. Jennifer remembers Basil telling her a story about a black haired knight who would blindly remain by his side forever and ever, clearly referencing Leo. Nonetheless, Leo seems to be aware of Basil’s methods of manipulation, lies and delusions - and yet he choose to remain by his side, finding comfort in Basil’s neediness. 

Trivia :

Along with Clara, they’re the oldest kids at the orphanage. But unlike her, they acknowledge the Red Crayon Aristocrat Club and their “games” - even if they don’t actively participate in the monthly gift tradition. 

Their relationship isn’t fully confirmed outloud and yet the romantic nature of it is pretty obvious - even to a younger Jennifer, who was able to spot the subtle clues. Such as their beds being stuck together or seeing them walk around with their pinkies entertwined. The two are meant to represent the everlasting love Wendy sought and the unhealthy relationship Jennifer wished to avoid.

Dialogue suggests that Leo is partially deaf and his inability to use his indoor voice comes from his lack of hearing and control over his tone. An accident at the orphanage is mentioned, but Basil quickly changes the subject with a guilty look, implying he caused Leo’s impairement.

In their respective chapters, it’s revealed that Basil had asked Leo to run away from the orphanage together, right after all other adults left mysteriously. However, their fate remains unknown.

[deck-of-cards-arc]

🔥-🌹

🌹 “Ai?”

She turned around, her midnight black hair flipping over her shoulder. Actually, midnight and soft, azure blue hair. Though, the flames began to change to a toxic purple as soon as I announced her name.

🔥 “EEP!- O-Oh, it’s j-just you Rose.”

🌹 “You can’t sleep?”

🔥 “Narcolepsy is a fucking bitch, I need melatonin”

🌹 “Well, I can just conjure that up-“

🔥 “No, it’s not…not just the narcolepsy. It’s…well..”

🌹 “It’s what?”

🔥 “Thinking too much, really…Even if I could sleep, I don’t think I want to”

🌹 “Ah…”

🔥 “…Can you spar with me tonight?”

🌹 “Wow, just like that?”

🔥 “I mean, if you can, what with your arm and all.”

🌹 “My arm isn’t too badly scratched, I’m okay for a friendly match”

🔥 “R-Really? You’d want to?”

🌹 “Sure, why not? I’m up for it anytime.”

I could tell, her eyes were glistening once more, in a tired sort of way. Her hair changed to a bright dandelion orange. I merely chuckled, standing up and offering a hand to the hermit. She took it gladly, and with that, I snapped my fingers so we would stand under the night sky The darkness above us, painted with blue and pale white streaks of midnight across the clouds. The soft luminance of the moon, coupled with the splatter and splash of the stars across the canvas. The breeze passing us by as we stood in front of the view of the village. Some lights were left on for the night owls, though the most had shut or began to shut their windows tight for the eventide. It was a gorgeous sight, one to be distracted by. The pretty illuminations didn’t seem to move Ai at all, though. Her gaze was focused on the fresh grass by our feet that swayed in the winds. On the dagger still in her hands, one she trailed a finger across the flat surface before her eyes moved back to me.

🔥 “So…”

🌹 “So? Let’s get to it then.”

🔥 “Wait, you didn’t bring your weapons though…”

🌹 “Or did I?”

Like magician unveiling the rabbit from a hat, I pulled out a long bamboo bo staff from just behind my hand. And as expected, Ai was the bewildered audience to witness the reveal. Wasn’t much of a trick, per se, I just wanted to get that out of my system. But it was still nice to know, even after seeing the extent of my powers multiple times, she could still be star-struck.

The innocent joy from it soon was shaken off, much like how Ai shook her head of midnight. She took her stance, and I took it as a go for the first swing. Naturally, she dodged it easily. It was then her turn to strike me with a slice, that one I blocked easily too with the staff. Ai didn’t wait for my next move, she kept striking the same spot in the staff. No other choice but the back up as she struck. I managed to find a small opening to push her back, but she managed to step forward the same distance. I could block all of her swings, but I knew she already had something else up her hoodie sleeve. And I was right. Enough distraction to the centre of the staff made me forget she could strike the ends and send me off guard. Once she saw her chance, she lunged forward. Unfortunate for her, I grabbed the end before it could fly off to parry. With a swing, I pushed her down. Like slamming a hammer down in those carnival games, except the game was pushing back with all of her might. The blade dug deep into the wood, perfect. I swayed the staff away, the dagger along with it as it bowled away to the grass. It only took Ai a second to realise she was weaponless to roll away too. It only took one last swing down, being barely blocked by her arm to down her. I loomed just above her, staff pointed to her face, one of possible horror. I still couldn’t tell. Either way, with the poke of the bo staff on the forehead, I let out my giggle.

🌹 “I win”

🔥 “Jeezus fuck, yeah you did”

🌹 “Wanna go again? That was fun”

🔥 “Sure, I can- ACK!”

As soon as she began to push her self up, she doubled back down with a scream. I dumped the staff aside and kneeled to her level. To the centre of her chest, she was clutching her left wrist tightly. I must’ve been too eager in that match.

🌹 “Here, let me see-“

🔥 “NO DON’T TOUCH ME!”

I reeled back my hand before I could even touch her wrist. Ai covered her mouth over her mask, upon the awareness of her instinctive shout.

🔥 “I-I-, sorry I d-didn’t mean to shout…”

🌹 “It’s okay, just…can I see your wrist?”

The hermit let go of her wrist, using the uninjured hand to push her to a sitting position. She handed over the wrist to me like I was confiscating it. With careful steadiness, I pulled back the sleeve and touched the blue-black spot. As expected, she whimpered. From what I could tell, it wasn’t too bad of damage that I couldn’t patch up. I hovered my hand over it and let the strands of light wrapped around the injury. I could still hear the faintest whimper from Ai fade, but not the sight of the azure flames from the corner of my eye.

🌹 “Ai, do you have any other injuries? Knees? Arm?”

🔥 “N-No…just the wrist…”

🌹 “Sure?”

🔥 “Mhmm…”

🌹 “Are you okay? The flames are acting up again.”

🔥 “H-Huh? Oh.”

🌹 “What’s wrong?’

🔥 “…Rose, remember the one time you barged into the bathroom?”

🌹 “I…I think you might need to specify which bathroom”

🔥 “In Ko House”

🌹 “And?”

🔥 “I was in there, crying my eyes out”

“…It still doesn't ring bells.”

🔥 “It was just…basically, I was going to have another panic attack then you lockpicked the door and ran to me in a hug. And Mia was there.”

🌹 “Oh. Oh?”

🔥 “I have a weird memory, Rose. I remember a lot of things. It’s not consistent”

🌹 “Or I just wiped it from my head, maybe”

🔥 “I have…uhm…bad memories associated with this wrist. Only the left…but it’s a lot. I locked myself in the bathroom because of it. I locked myself in the bathroom many times before coming to Ko. I panicked and then locked myself in rooms after coming to Ko, such as…”

🌹 “…Don’t tell me you were going to-“

🔥 “Don’t remind me…please?”

🌹 “S-sorry.”

🔥 “You know, I don’t think I've ever felt so stressed being in Ko…I don’t know if you’ve seen the house in its glory before”

🌹 “Only heard, saw some”

🔥 “You know, it was peaceful…peaceful as in chaotic. But the fun chaotic, you know? Everyone was happy, and sure we had our downs. Many downs, but we’d be there for each other. God, everyone in Ko, the first family that ever was a family to me...”

🌹 “But then what happened?”

Ai remained silent.

🔥 “I don’t know…but a lot of stuff happened. Let me see, uhm- the principal, demons, powers, Mynn was acting up- Gah, everything’s a blur.”

“And that was BEFORE I arrived?”

🔥 “Mhmm, now there’s even more things to be worried over. All of my friends…I don’t know where they are, I don’t know how they're doing…even now I can’t help but think, when can we go home?”

🌹 “Ai…I’m worried about them too.”

🔥 “At least you have all those cool powers. Me? I’m stuck cowering over the next disaster of the month. God, it just hurts to worry over my friends. I just want them to be happy, I just want them to be happy with me…I sound like a whining kid, fuck”

🌹 “It's natural for you to be scared…you’ve seen so much, I can’t blame you for worrying.”

🔥 “I can just blame myself then…no matter how much I’ve seen, I’ve never been able to help.”

I lifted my hand but grabbed it again before she could slip it away.

🌹 “Ai…you told me something, didn’t you?”

🔥 “I…what-“

“You said, ‘I know you want to, badly want to solve everything. But you can't do everything on your own’, you said that didn’t you?”

🔥 “Oh…the sparring ring”

🌹 “I can’t solve everything, that’s what I remember you saying. Neither can you. Problems will always arise and you can’t get through them on your own…that’s why we have each other. I’m still here, so are many of the others. It’s okay to be scared, we’re still here for you.”

🔥 “Yeah…you are still here...even after so long…”

🌹 “And I don’t intend on leaving you behind”

The blue flames still were ignited, now with the golden pyres to accent it. She ran her free hand through her alight hair, her fingers trailing to behind her ears. In a fell swoop, the hermit leaned forward to lay her forehead on my shoulder. I didn’t move away, as I promised. I almost expected her to burst into tears, her ever-familiar cries to echo in the night. No…I didn’t hear any of it. All I heard in the passing winds were a “thank you” before I felt her body go limp. I patted her head, feeling the harmless flames extinguish themselves. Her arms loosely around my body were only something I noticed as I moved my arm away. The only thing I didn’t notice was the glasses left in my lap, and the mask she clutched onto in her palms. Either way…she was asleep. And I didn’t intend to move her just yet. It was a rare moment to enjoy the peace without the stuffiness of the cave in my windpipe. Suppose I should let her enjoy it for a little while longer with me…

Read more because this is gonna be long af

🍯 - Let’s do favorite foods for this one

Alicia - Asian cuisine, Alyse - baked goods, Cheshire - fish, Jasper - cookies, Xander - quail, Scarlette - apples, Jack - a big ass cheeseburger, Archer - baked chicken, May - tea cakes, Milly - donuts, Ayden - candy (more specifically lollipops), Delia & Dudley - sweets, Beatrix - flesh uh let’s go with steak

🥛 - favorite drink

Alicia - coffee, Alyse - cappuccino, Cheshire - milk, Jasper - tea, Xander - brandy, Scarlette - merlot, Jack - fireball whiskey, Archer - any fruity alcohol, May - tea, Milly - coffee, Ayden - vodka, Delia & Dudley - shirley temple, Beatrix - blood uhm w-water..

🐢 - mental health; they are all neurotic and have some sort of mental issue

Alicia & Alyse - childhood trauma led to all sorts of issues with them and their trauma has manifested Wonderland and its inhabitants, which resulted in them being afflicted with some of their issues, Cheshire - depression masked by humor, Jasper - anxiety, Xander - probably the most normal/stable but has a problem forming bonds/connections with people despite how kind and empathetic he may seem, Scarlette - superiority complex that is debilitating and heavy emphasis on the ‘to mask feelings of inferiority’, Jack - insomnia and extremely repressed, Archer - bpd, May - OCD perfectionism, Milly - narcolepsy, Ayden - drug dependency and suppresses whatever could be wrong before it can effect him, Delia & Dudley - unhealthy codependency and mild sociopathy, Beatrix - Dissociative identity disorder

🦄 - physical health

They’re all in good physical health, as they can not die or be seriously/permanently hurt.

⌛ - sleep

As they are ‘imaginary’ in a dreamland, they do not have dreams of their own.

💕 - love

This is just...a messy topic for any of them, really. Fortunately, yes, they are all capable of love. But unfortunately, most - if not all - don’t really know how to process the feeling and it causes anxiety and distress. (though, of course, with love and patience they can be helped through that - for the most part)

💣 - stress

Bruh they all stressed tbh The glory of being a manifestation of mental illness

😵 - sickness

For the same reason for their immortality, they can’t really get sick. Like, they can’t get a disease or anything serious. Maybe a cold or something here and there but generally pretty healthy.

🤲 - religion

They were made by two kids, that’s the closest thing they’ll ever see as ‘God’

🏡 - home

There are many houses of shapes and sizes throughout Wonderland, as well as two magnificent castles - a white one and a red one. A lot of the houses are unoccupied and spawn and despawn randomly if no one claims one, to accommodate the random npcs as well as visitors such as the twins. The white castle belongs to Xander, where May stays. The red castle belongs to Scarlette, where Jack and Jasper also reside. The others occupy one of the random houses throughout Wonderland - Archer owns several for his parties and a separate personal residence, Chesire tends to bounce from house to house and doesn’t really settle on one.

🍬 - family

There really isn’t much to say that can’t already be found elsewhere here fgfdhg

If the character isn’t listed as being related to another character, then that character has no family rip

💼 - work

Their jobs/roles have already been covered. If one isn’t listed then they’re ‘unemployed’.

⛈️ - sadness

Honestly lmao they all fuckin sad, man, even if you can’t outright see it - though it is obvious with a couple. They’re lonely and dealing with shit. Hug them.

😡 - angery

Scarlette is like always angery. Jack is easily annoyed and gets pissed off, but generally has a lot of patience and discipline. The twins, May, Milly, and Jasper don’t really get angry. The Tweedles, Ayden, and Archer can be dangerous when angry. Xander gets like disappointed quiet angry which is scary in its own way. Beatrix will turn into a beast and eat you.

💩 - ridiculous

Before things got too hostile and split between factions, they would have a tea party every Sunday to try to keep the peace. Obviously it wasn’t enough.

🌼 - happiness 

T..They aren’t very happy, pls help. This is very thread dependent as positive things depend on how the characters develop during interactions with other people’s muses, and it won’t always be the same outcome.

VIVID DREAMER - 

A Keyblade modeled after the first Rayman game developed by Ubisoft! This Keyblade is designed to have the Treasure Magnet application! The shaft of the is designed to mimic the fantastical nature of the world of Rayman, with the coloration of Rayman's head and a Glint at the very top and a star representing the Magician at the base. The Teeth of the blade are designed after Rayman's hair-propellers with a color rim representing his flying power up.The hilt of the blade is designed after the hoops that Rayman can grab (wings included), with the crossguard having his ascot and his hands holding the rim. The handle of the blade is designed after the frying pan from the last level, with Glints representing the keychain and token being a Electoon face!

The World Logo is a recreation of the title shot of the valley, with the name "Valley of Dreams" in the style of the in-game font. The name, Vivid Dreamer, comes from the fact that Rayman is, and everything in the game, are creations of dreams, and a Vivid Dream is one that you can control!

SOMNILOQUY -

A Keyblade modeled after Rayman 2: The Great Escape! This Keyblade is designed to have Treasure Magnet! The shaft of the blade is designed after the totem that the Polokus sleeps, with various vines from the Glade of Dreams and piping that was put in by the Space Pirates. The teeth of the blade is designed after the glass guardrails found in the boss levels. The handle of the blade is designed to have the metallic, industrial invasion from the Space Pirates, but with the natural flora overgrowing it. The keychain is designed after the chains you see in game, with the token being Murfy! 

The World Logo is The Glade of Dreams is designed in front of the Buccaneer ship over the main island, and the font from the in game text. The name, Somniloquy, is the scientific term for sleep talking! 

DESINCARNE -

A Keyblade modeled after Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc! This Keyblade is designed to have Treasure Magnet and increased range! The hilt and shaft of the blade is designed after the various designs of the world seen in Hoodlum Havoc. The teeth of the blade are designed after one of the power ups that Rayman can obtain! The Keychain Token is a Teensie Crown that acts as a collectible! The teeth of the blade is one of Rayman's hands, with the handle being that of Barbara's axe. The Keychain Token is that of the extra damage heart! 

The World Logo is, again, The Glade of Dreams, this time using the point system introduced this game. The name, Desincarne, is the French word for disembodied, referencing both the French origin of the game series and Rayman's unique appearance. 

MAD HARE -

A Keyblade modeled after Rayman Raving Rabbids! This Keyblade is designed to have increased range and knock back, but suffers in damage. The hilt of the blade is designed after the large metallic Rabbid found in the arena, with the shaft of the blade being designed to resemble the mechs that the Rabbids use. The teeth of the blade are plungers, which have become a staple with the Rabbids. The Keychain is designed after the chain seen in the cow jump rope minigame, with the token being this game's version of the Globox Babies! 

The World Logo is the arena in which Rayman is forced to preform, designed similarly to the game's logo. The name, Mad Hare, comes from the fact that the Rabbids are based on rabbits and are positively insane. 

INNUMERABLE LUMS -

A Keyblade modeled after Rayman Origins! This Keyblade is designed to have treasure magnet and increased in light-based magic! The hilt of the blade is designed after the collection circle you have for the Electoons with vines coating it. The shaft of the blade is designed after the collection tube of Lums, filled with the light beings that flutter inside, with an Electoon at the very top. The teeth of the blade is a Lum, similar to the Moogle O' Glory Keyblade. The Keychain Token is that of the Skull Tooth.

The World Logo is, once more, the Glade of Dreams, with the font being based on in-game font, the background being based on the menus, and the first level on the map being the very backdrop. The name is based on the fact that there is a high number of Lums in the game, coupled with the collectible themeing of the Keyblade and the slight tongue twister of the name itself.

NARCOLEPSY -

A Keyblade modeled after Rayman Legends! This Keyblade is designed to have treasure magnet in mind! Both the top of the shaft and crossguard are designed after the collectible medal of the Teensies, with the rest of the hilt being designed after the ending door to a level. The shaft of the blade is designed after Rayman's color scheme, with the wings from Barbara's helmet. 

The World Logo is, again, the Glade of Dreams, but now on the scroll that says the level name! The name, Narcolepsy, is named after the fact that Rayman and the other heroes slept for a 100 years!

[natalac]

Harriet Tubman was around twelve years old, enslaved, when a fellow enslaved man attempted to run away. After being found and brought back, Harriet and a few others were instructed to help tie him up to be whipped. She refused, and when the man attempted to run again, she blocked the doorway to help him escape. An overseer threw a two-pound weight at the man but hit Harriet instead, fracturing her skull. Throughout her life, she suffered from severe headaches and narcolepsy from this incident. A petite woman of only about five feet, Harriet was strong-willed and courageous, and as she grew older, she became determined to escape to the North. Upon learning in 1849 that she would be sold, Harriet, now in her mid-20s, decided the time was right. One night, she, along with two of her brothers, ran away. Her brothers soon turned back, and for the rest of her journey, Harriet was alone without friends. She walked at night, hid during the day, didn't know who to trust, where to eat, at times she had shelter, often she slept outside on the ground overlooked by the stars. After about ninety miles of travel, she crossed into the North to freedom. Reflecting about making it into the North, she said, "I looked at my hands, to see if I was de same person now I was free. Dere was such a glory over everything, de sun came like gold trou de trees, and over de fields, and I felt like I was in heaven." Soon after her escape, Harriet went back into the South to help some family members to escape. After getting them North, she went back to the South to help more family members. Then she went to help others. Harriet would make many trips over the years, rescuing approximately seventy people. Of the experience, she would say, "I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say — I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger." #blackhistorymonth #harrietTubman #blackhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ5-3IVs1Ho/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pain is so bad lately at my part time job that I am constantly wearing icepacks (not enough so I'mma buy a few more soon). A customer applauded me for doing such a good job wrapping my big icepack around my neck like a cervical collar. I'm a spinal pain pro. Also, the worst lie my doctors ever told me about my pain was that my nervous system "made it up, here, have an antidepressant!" We know I have fibromyalgia, narcolepsy, ulcerative colitis, depression, PTSD, blah blah. We also now know I have been experiencing atlas subluxation complex. It's separate from my other illnesses, but at the same time it's interwoven. I went years and years saying, "I just have to be stronger and then I won't be botherer by this pain they've said is now permanent and incurable, while my spine got worse and my brain stem, nerves, and arteries got more compressed. I don't believe in what people think it means to "be strong" They made me feel like all this pain that I have been in for so long was my fault for not being strong enough. Like I was just some spoiled kid who wanted pain pills instead of putting in the work and just getting therapy because surely talking on a couch will fix a spine... when year after year I told them about the hundreds of dollars and hours I spend a month on natural pain relief products and treatments. Most of my days are me doing my own self-care and pain management. A lot of that is spent in bed, dizzied by the pressure in my spine, burning alive from the raging nerve pain from head to toe. She knew what atlas subluxation was when I brought it up. She tried to interrupt me when I explained why I thought I had it, why it made so much sense. She said "it's not considered a cause of illness" and said that doctors just don't do that sort of thing. It's not something they treat because they don't really believe it can make people sick, she told me. Let me clarify: Getting the worsening pressure taken off of your brain stem is considered "alternative" medicine. Fucking doctors, man. They could've killed me by making me go through this. I almost didn't make it out, over and over again. Pain messed with your head a lot and drags everything else in your life down with it too. I don't believe in an idea of "strong" that says hey good job! you forced yourself to keep up with people who are superhuman compared to you and your limitations in body and mind. You lived, for most of your life but especially your 20's, in so much more suffering by trying to just keep your head above water while people kept telling you how you don't look sick or disabled and how great you look, so you're in pain right now??? (yes, always. even on good days.) Pain and exhaustion and not eating and always awake because pain is LOUD and it often makes you vomit from its intensity. Pain that mo one else would tolerate for more than half an hour. It feels, constantly, like I've just been in a car wreck. And now that I'm finding things that are actually corrective and great but that will take 5+ years to heal from... listen, healing hurts so fucking bad too. Remember how much braces hurt for a few years pulling your teeth together? I am now moving and reshaping my entire spine. The rest of my body has to adjust with it. Sometimes the pain is so bad I feel like I didn't make progress at all or I'm subluxated again (well, it did happen once already, oh I'm a sham) it's as fun as it sounds Anyway, trust your intuition and yeah, listen to doctors, but also know that you have the power to research and learn and discover even more. I educate my doctors now on things they really didn't understand well. Meaning ALL OF MY ILLNESSES Trust your guts. Don't freak yourself out on WebMD with paranoid selfdx, but like. Learn. Study. Reading the stories of other spoonies can be really informative. Watch all the medical videos on YouTube. I can't be "cured" but you sure as hell bet I'll try to hang in for several years of painful spine reshaping if it means I can come out with a good percentage of the pain down. Then the rest is about being smart of what my body needs, in all it's dysfunctional glory.
