↳ @familylightfox asked: “Arrow… May I pick your brain for a moment…” Normally Light wouldn’t be so cautious with his tone, but his expression was one of mild concentration. “What is it like to be a parent?”

—————

{➹} – WITH BOTH HIS PARTNER and daughter asleep, the hedgehog had decided to spend some portion of the evening on the back porch of the house, the section that faced the ocean even if it was only heard and not seen passed the thick trees. Winter had silenced the forest, somehow amplifying the ocean slapping the cliffside just a mile and some odd feet from the home. Between the ambient noise and the moon on the snow, it made for a surreal scene.

So it wasn't surprising when Arrow heard footsteps crack that ambient sound, and Light's tone had the hero turning to glance at them, curious. He suspected he knew what the question was really about, but still took a minute or two to think of his answer..

"In easy terms? Terrifying." He may have smiled in a humored way but his tone was level, genuine and didn't change even as he looked back into the distance. "I didn't believe people when they said you'll never really be ready for it...no matter how many books or articles you read, and believe me I've read a lot. But it's true. It's never how others describe it, not when it's your own kid an' your own set of circumstances. You never know if what you're doing is right or wrong, or what it's going t' lead t' down the road. You question a lot, an' it's mostly yourself."

Spoken from experience, there was a pause as the hero's gaze shifted to the sky, his expression taking on something far more light hearted. Happy.

"But...I can't even begin t' explain how much 's all worth it. I knew the moment that Mina told me that we had made the right call. Even if I did black out right after that." Not his best moment, but still enough to get a chuckle from him now which only added to the warm smile on his face as Arrow turned to face Light fully. "Because despite the fears an' uncertainty, I love our daughter more than anything else. I don't know what I'm doing, but...she makes me want t' figure it all out. She makes me want t' be better, for her sake. An' I know I won't be perfect at it, but I also know that, down the line, we'll all figure it out together."

Here he raised a brow, something in his eyes far too knowing as he continued lightly. "'S not about being perfect, or molding them t' what everyone else thinks they should be. It's about letting them come int' their own person, and being there t' support them. No matter how difficult they may be."

【ＢＡＳＩＣＳ】

Name: Hastur Alias: The King in Yellow, The Unspeakable One Pronouns: He/him

【Ａｐｐｅａｒａｎｃｅ】

Mortal:

Hair Colour & Style: Long blond almost golden, reaching to below his waist. Is messy on top and around his face, but straight and neatly brushed the further it goes. Recently has begun styling it in a high ponytail because his cousin complimented it offhandedly. Eyes Colour: Yellow. Complexion: Pale, with faint bags under his eyes, no other blemishes are noticeable. Height: 6 ft 2 inches

Eldritch:

Usually seen in the form of a large human skeleton wrapped in intricate yellow robes. Under the surface of the bones, there is a pulsing oil-like substance that seems to make up his core. When he speaks in this form his words sound like a whisper, no matter how loud he is speaking.

【Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ】

Positive Traits: Curious, trusting, enthusiastic, family orientated Negative Traits: Impulsive, lazy, tactless, mischievous, fussy

【Ａｂｉｌｉｔｉｅｓ】

- Teleportation - Liquid shadow - Inducing madness (Passive - Explained in detail further on.) - Amorphous Physiology

【Ｒｅｌａｔｉｏｎｓ】

Yog-Sothoth - Father - Asleep Cthulhu - Half brother - Asleep Nyarlathotep - Cousin - While Hastur loves and seeks approval from his cousin, the feeling is not reciprocated. Nyar finds him to be a frustrating burden.

【Ｌｏｒｅ】

Hastur has been a resident of the void for a long time, which can get incredibly lonely when most of your family is in a deep… seemingly endless slumber. It used to be better for him, once upon a time as he was allowed to wander the mortal plain as much as he liked, meeting humans that worshipped his family. That is till all of the cult members he was spending time with started going insane and killing themselves. Deciding that he was no good for the family’s goals and the mortal members they were amassing, he was banished back to the void by Nyarlathotep. The mortals were left, only a play with his name and a strange symbol to remember him by.

【Ｗａｒｎｉｎｇｓ】

When interacting with Hastur he has the passive ability to make mortals go slowly insane in his presence. He has very little control over this power (except the ability to expedite it). The rate at which the insanity takes root depends on what origin the mortal is (human or supernatural) and how often his name is spoken. Other Lovecraftian deities are not affected by this power and there are some creatures that are less susceptible to it and some that are completely immune. Before writing with Hastur I would prefer to speak to the mun about what category their muse will fall under.

PLOT:

Set in the East Village of New York City, Rent is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon. with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages. Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.

RENT features many adult themes, including sex, drug use, profanity, and same-sex intimacy.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:

MARK COHEN

Stage age: early to late twenties Vocal Range: Tenor (C#3-G4)

Mark is an aspiring filmmaker who narrates the show as he films the lives of his friends. Mark never leaves home without a camera. He is Roger's best friend and caregiver, and he was once Maureen’s boyfriend (who left him for Joanne). Mark is a little nerdy and quirky. He insists that he can survive the bleakness of his environment through his art. It soon becomes apparent, though, that he is more comfortable viewing the world through his lens than in actively engaging in it. He feels guilty that unlike his friends, he does not have HIV/AIDS. The actor playing this role must be a strong singer and actor. He dances the Tango with Joanne, so good movement skills are also required.

ROGER DAVIS

Stage Age: mid twenties to early thirties Vocal Range: Rock Tenor (B2-A4) Roger is a once successful, now struggling musician who discovered he had HIV/AIDS in a note his girlfriend left him before she took her own life. His main goal in life is to write one great song before he dies, but he has not been able to play his guitar in a year, fearing that he has lost his creative energy. He falls in love with Mimi but is too afraid to commit to her, knowing that she also is infected with HIV/AIDS. He is also the roommate and best friend of Mark. He is often depressed and sullen, but he can be expressive and passionate at times. The actor playing this role must be a good actor and an excellent singer with a rock edge. Guitar skills are desired, but are not required.

MIMI MARQUEZ

Stage Age: late teens to early twenties Vocal Range: Alto (F#3-E5) Mimi Marquez works in a strip club and struggles with her addiction to heroin, which has resulted in her contraction of HIV/AIDS. She falls in love with Roger, who is unable to commit to a relationship with her. She is also Benny's ex‐girlfriend. She is extremely sexy, optimistic, and likeable but with dark secrets. Though Mimi has” lived a lot of life,” she still sees the world through the eyes of a young woman. She intends to make the most of every day, as she earnestly expresses in the song “No Day but Today.” The actress playing this role must be a strong singer, dancer, and exceptional actress. She must be able to convincingly portray the struggles of heroin addiction, sexual promiscuity, and HIV/AIDS, while still maintaining the optimism of youth.

BENNY COFFIN III

Stage Age: twenties to thirties Vocal Range: Tenor (Eb3-F4) Benny used to be Mark and Roger’s roommate, but he married Alison Grey, a rich family involved with real estate, and he is now their landlord. He had been letting Roger and Mark live in the apartment for free, but he is now forcing them to pay rent or be evicted. Roger and Mark consider him a yuppie sell-out. He also had an affair with Mimi before she started to date Roger. While in the beginning he is caught up in the lifestyle of wealth and affluence, he ultimately realizes his friends are more important than what money can buy. The actor playing this role must be a good singer and actor.

MAUREEN JOHNSON

Stage Age: twenties to thirties Vocal Range: Soprano Belt (C4-F5) Maureen is a bisexual performing artist and Mark's ex‐girlfriend. She left Mark to be with her new girlfriend, Joanne. She is sexy, flirtatious, sassy, and funny. She is bold and speaks her mind, and she is not afraid to take on the establishment and fight for what she believes in. The actress playing this role must be an excellent singer and actress. She must be comfortable with same-sex physical intimacy.

JOANNE JEFFERSON

Stage Age mid twenties to early thirties Vocal Range: Soprano Belt (Bb3-E5) Maureen is a lesbian Ivy League educated lawyer and activist. She struggles to not be jealous ofMaureen’s flirtatious nature with others. Though she was raised in an affluent, political family, she is committed to helping those less fortunate. The actress playing this role must be an excellent singer and a good actress. She must be comfortable with same sex-physical intimacy. Since she dances the tango with Mark, good movement skills are also required.

TOM COLLINS

Stage Age: late twenties to late thirties Vocal Range: Baritone/Tenor (F#2 – A4) One A4 for a short duration Tom Collins is a gay computer genius, teacher, and anarchist who was recently expelled from MIT. In the opening scene he is mugged, reflecting the harsh reality of the world in which the characters live. He is brave enough to allow himself to fall in love with Angel, knowing that since both of them are infected with HIV/AIDS, their relationship will not have much of a future. Tom and Angel’s relationship is the heart of the show, as the genuine love and devotion they have for one another brings hope and inspiration to the entire group. They show the world how to truly live life and not be afraid. The actor playing this role must be an excellent singer and actor who is comfortable with same sex-physical intimacy. He must be able to portray great love and affection for Angel. He must especially be able to convey that love when Angel dies in his arms, and during his reprise of “I Will Cover You.”

ANGEL SCHUNARD

Stage Age: early to late twenties Vocal Range: Tenor with Falsetto (C3-A4) Angel is a young drag queen and street percussionist. He meets and falls in love with Collins. He has HIV/ AIDS and dies of the disease in Act II. As a person, Angel is the most generous and selfless character in the show. Angel hands out money to the neighborhood while dressed in Santa drag. Though he has HIV/AIDS, he embraces life and lives it to its fullest. People are naturally drawn to him, and his smile lights up the room. His death is mourned by all of the characters and eventually inspires them to live each day to the fullest. As mentioned in Tom’s character description, Tom and Angel’s relationship is the heart of the show, as the genuine love and devotion they have for one another brings hope and inspiration to the entire group. They show the world how to truly live life and not be afraid. The actor playing this role must be an excellent actor, singer, and mover. He must be able to comfortable with same-sex physical intimacy and a drag queen persona, including dancing in heels. Percussionist skills desired but not required.

Magic headcanons!

(Inspired by the lovely Pelle-mun and their descriptions of their magelings abilities)

- Eli has always had an affinity for primal magics, fire and lightning especially. While he can use ice, it does not come to him as easily. Lightning comes to him the easiest, and it’s why when he’s startled or upset that it tends to manifest even without his direction.

-This also shows itself when it’s storming. Eli almost seems drawn to storms, especially those with thunder and lightning and will, without fail, spend hours in them if he’s left to his own devices. Casting shock spells while in the midst of a storm is also easier, and the spells themselves are more powerful. (He’s also been struck by lightning a few times and somehow comes away from those instances unscathed and with his eyes glowing an eerie purple. The last part is something he is unaware of unless it’s pointed out)

-As for the fire magic, it took a little more practice to master, but once he did it became almost second nature to reach for it. In fact, one of the things he likes to do once he’s gained back some of his emotional regulation (which takes a few months) is to create little creatures or figures out of fire and use them and their shadows to entertain others, usually kids, with little plays and stories.

- Despite this affinity, where he really shines and, indeed, where he pours most of his time and energy, is the healing arts. He wanted to heal more than anything once he learned he could do so, and he threw himself into his studies until he’d mastered everything the tower had to teach him…and then he pushed further. Now that he’s possessed, he’s in the process of learning how to effectively use spirit healing as well.

-He has always had a scarily deep mana pool, often being able to cast larger spells for longer periods of time than most other mages he knew. This is something he’s thankful for because it means he rarely, if ever, needs lyrium potions. Seeing as said potions make him violently ill after he uses them, the less he has to, the happier he is

-He doesn’t need a staff to cast, and never has, but he will still carry one with him. He does not, however, tend to use it as a focus. Rather he will use it as a means of defense should he run out of mana or should an enemy get too close for him to have the proper time to cast spells. He’s found that when in doubt, whacking someone really hard with a stick works just as well as any magic.

-HIs drive to heal is nearly instinctive, and he’s been known to use minor healing magic on others in his sleep (usually small things, easing muscle or joint aches of anyone who might touch him)

-He is also, though he rarely ever delves into it, quite capable of using healing magic in the opposite way (What can be mended can be broken just as easily, and he knows exactly the best ways to do so if pressed)

#headcanons #bedside manner is wasted on you idiots: eli
