The Voloverse
Posting this mainly so I can link back to it as a footnote whenever I post mr. Man anywhere. Basically in my headcanons and aus Cynthia is an eggy egg who posts a lot of dysphoric cringe in the form of hurting people: she's so disconnected from herself and her body and her life that she can't quite comprehend why people care about anything at all, which leaves her just bulldozing over a lot of feelings because it doesn't seem like a big deal to her.
She lovebombs people then freaks out about it and goes completely ghost, youtube pranks Steven Stone by leaning into the gossip and telling the presses she's pregnant with his spawn despite him telling her It's Not Funny Fucking Stop, etc. etc. That sorta thing.
Eventually she cracks the code, he/hims into a MAN, and remains a bit weird and mentally ill but goes from being very shielded behind masks and facades into being turbo-earnest and sincere.
When PLA dropped with a canon Manthia in the form of Volo I went "Dang this kinda awkward" and made it even more awkward by leaning into it. Cynthia figures out she needs to detit become man due to a portrait of Volo she comes across while doing some ancestry research, lowkey steals his entire identity, and picks the name Cievolo for himself :) (Cielo + Volo)
So whenever I mention Cievolo it's a transsexualized genderbendered Cynthia because I have plots schemes and agendas.
Then in what I like to call the EXPANDED VOLOVERSE within fantasy aus (DND, MH, Miitopia, u get it) things get even MORE awkward because then Volo and Cievolo grew up together. Volo is his uncle, younger brother of Cogita, who is Cievolo's maman. They were pretty tight-knit and Volo was practically the only person who supported Eggthia's dreams of bailing out from the small town they were stuck in and pursue grander ventures. Then he died :( so sad :( that he totally definitely absolutely died due to highway robbery and didn't just orchestrate an attack on his jolly merchant band so he could fake his own death and go underground to start hunting for forbidden arcane secrets to destroy the world with so it'd be as empty as he is inside :(
So in those timelines Cievolo picked his name as an active tribute to his DEFINITELY DEAD uncle, the one who always believed in him... and regrets everything whenever Volo inevitably turns out to be alive because oh god. That's so cringe and embarrassing and confusing. What the fcuck. At least in DND-verse he can lie through his teeth and just say he reaaaally enjoys Volothamp's memoirs about monsters. Yup yup. Volo's Guide To Monsters just his favorite book, really.
Cievolo and Steven are also besties. Strained besties with a vast history of C causing Steve a lot of stress. Like a lot. But besties none the less.
Also wow u scrolled all the way down here. commendable. have some post-op boobies.

[A series of PLA Incorrect Quotes because why not]
Akari: *pretending to joke* So when are you going to go out with me?
Volo: I don’t know. When are you going to ask me to?
Rei: And you just ran away?!
Akari: I didn’t expect him to flirt back!
Adaman: Here’s a fun Christmas idea. We’ll hang the mistletoe, but instead of kissing, you have to fight whoever else is under it.
Irida: We are not doing that.
Akari: Mistlefoe.
Irida: Don’t encourage him!
Akari: We did it. It’s over, we won.
[Adaman, Irida, Rei, Volo, Kamado, Beni, Professor Laventon and Cyllene point behind her, obviously distressed]
Akari: No, we won. I’m not turning around. We won.
Melli: I got grounded for a whole week just because I came home late.
Adaman: Well, you deserved it. I mean, getting everyone’s hopes up like that and then showing up again.
Cyllene: Yesterday, I overheard Rei saying “Are you sure this is a good idea?” and Akari replying “Trust me,” and I never moved from one room to another so quickly in my life.
Irida: Every time I’m around Adaman, my pulse races, my breath shortens, and my temperature skyrockets.
Irida: I think I’m allergic to him.
Professor Laventon: One time I went to hand Captain Cyllene a bowl of soup. I wanted to say ‘Careful, it’s hot’, and ‘Here’s your soup!’, so instead I blurted out ‘Careful it’s soup.’
*When Akari and Rei are in charge of getting the groceries*
Rei: You ready to do this, Akari?
Akari: Yes I am.
Rei and Akari: *pushing the shopping cart running through the grocery store with Akari in the cart* WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Cyllene: I think I’m getting sick, I’m losing my voice.
Rei: That means you can’t yell at us anymore.
*later*
Rei: Turns out Cyllene is a lot scarier when she’s quiet.
Melli: Um, excuse me? I lost my companion Lian. Can I make an announcement?
Store clerk: Yes, of course!
Melli: *leans into the mic* Goodbye you loser.
I might make more of these in the future. Incorrect quotes are so funny XD
