this is like a massive post because this is also our final farnauld playlist that's made of four parts. it's meant to tell their full story <3 can't say we really expect anyone to read through this or even check the songs but if someone wants a really weird playlist, u can listen to it here xx

ACT I: WE JUST PLAY ALONG, COME ON, COME ON

001. TRY TRY TRY --- RACHAEL SAGE. 002. I’M NOT CALLING YOU A LIAR --- FLORENCE + THE MACHINE. 003. COME ON --- WHITE LIES. 004. ON DIRECTING --- TEGAN & SARA. 005. POISON --- VAULTS. 006. EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE --- DENMARK + WINTER. 007. CANDLES --- DAUGHTER. 008. WICKED TEETH --- CIARAN LAVERY. 009. AFFECTION --- AMBER RUN.

this is the part where they get together. they're off-balance. he's playing his own game and she's trying to make everything work together. this is the first time cracks begin to form within the croÿ ranks. this part of the playlist is a mixture of songs that are fairly dark. the most notable lyrics can be found in ' poison ': " we both know you're sweet and blind / palm struck on the floor // won't you let me poison your heart ? ". isa posted this part of the playlist years ago and it's here x.

ACT II: THERE'S HISTORY IN A SCAR

010. PURGE --- ALLIE X. 011. WE USED TO LAUGH / 9 TO 9 --- FLORA CASH. 012. HYENA --- THE EDITORS. 013. LIFFEY --- PILLOW QUEENS. 014. SPIDERS --- THE EDITORS. 015. TIME COMES IN ROSES --- BESS ATWELL. 016. I'M NOT YOURS --- ANGUS & JULIA STONE. 017. PETRICHOR --- KEATON HENSON.

this would be the post-break up era. their numerous conversations and arnauld's relentless bullying. the wounds were raw, incredibly so and arnauld had a need to show her the mistake she had made by cutting him so. fanni on the other hand struggled between feeling proud of her decision and knowing she had let go of more than just a person she loved: it was the opportunity to build a life outside of her family. both of them tormented each other just by existing. it was difficult to hate someone you loved. it was difficult to despise someone you had known so well. the sensitivity eventually made space for some sort of a relationship. they could hold conversations. they could blackmail each other and remind the other how deep their knowledge of the other went. the first two songs most certainly represent fanni and her struggles. in ' purge ' we get the lines: " you went anyway, but all of your chains / and ropes holding me stayed in place " and " every word you told me left such a rancid taste in my mouth / i can't purge you ". we had ' we used to laugh / 9 to 9 " on every edit back in 2019. it was such a perfect song for them at that time. " you said i won't ever leave your side no one else is worth my while no one else is worth my while were you like that all the time ? did you repeat this from 9 to 9 ? never come back never come back you put a hole in and opened up my heart put me down in my darkest dark we used to laugh we used to laugh " then we have the editors songs that got chosen for the darkness. arnauld was doing his best to get fanni to beg for forgiveness. the bitterness was felt constantly. ' liffey ' on the other hand is arnauld's realization that he's not in charge of himself or the situation. he is absolutely ruined and she holds far too much power — it's not just arnauld who knows secrets and ways to manipulate the other, fanni's just as capable !

ACT III: WHEN I LOSE MY HEAD, I LOSE MY SPINE

018. COOL ABOUT IT --- BOYGENIUS. 019. LUCKY FOR YOU --- NOVO AMOR, GIA MARGARET. 020. I MISS YOU, I'M SORRY --- GRACIE ABRAMS. 021. DAYDREAMS --- EXES. 022. SEABED --- NANNA. 023. LATE NIGHT TALKS --- DEPORTEES. 024. HEAVENLY --- CIGARETTES AFTER SEX 025. HOPELESS WANDERER --- MUMFORD & SONS. 026. THAT'S WHEN ( TV ) --- TAYLOR SWIFT.

this part is about their healing journey. when the mind games stopped. when it was just two people. a fairly wholesome part in their story. they had affection for one another and perhaps for the first time they did not have some role to play. it was just friendship ( or at least as platonic a relationship as it could be between these two ). some codependency issues existed, of course. fanni needed a shoulder. arnauld liked being needed by her. ' late night talks ' is possibly the most spot on song in part iii. in it we get: " the phone rings / in the middle of the night / i can tell you're upset / i'm here / and i'm ready to work ". ' seabed ' is incredibly touching too and probably our favourite track. it's a good peek into fanni's fragile state of mind. " and you caught me off guard, and / i was never lonely / but now i'm feeling like an only child / let me sink into you arms / you're the ocean floor / i guess i just needed that ". the songs in this section are vulnerable and beautiful. ' lucky for you ' has a line that made it earn its spot: " and i'm not what i thought i would be without you ".

ACT IV: I'VE OUTGROWN THE PAST

027. I WANT YOU --- MO. 028. YOU'RE SO COOL --- NICOLE DOLLANGANGER. 029. LIGHTS CHANGING COLOR --- STARS. 030. LIVING ROOM, NY --- LAURA STEVENSON. 031. SIGNAL FIRE --- SNOW PATROL. 032. BLOODCLOT / ANDVAKA --- NANNA. 033. CRACK THE SHUTTERS --- SNOW PATROL. 033. SEND FOR ME --- THE NATIONAL. 034. THIS LAND IS MINE --- DIDO. 035. THIS LOVE (TV) --- TAYLOR SWIFT. 036. I WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DARK --- MIYA FOLICK. 037. COSMIC LOVE --- FLORENCE + THE MACHINE. 038. SHALLOWS --- DAUGHTER.

this is the happily-ever-after part because they've been so sad for such a long time. we seriously considered not having them end up together but they deserve each other <3 <3 this section has love songs but we managed to sprinkle a few darker ones too because fanni and arnauld have never been simple and sweet. ' this love ' is probably the stand out song, it seems so fitting ! i mean c'mon: " this love is alive back from the dead / these hands had to let it go free, and / this love came back to me ". not to make things too cheesy though we have ' lights changing color ', which is by no means a negative song but it's more about staying out of one's head and, well, happy ! " when you find that the ones that keep you lifted / love them 'cause they keep you out of your head / they keep you out of your head / they keep you steady ". the songs are quite mellow and sound pretty fragile in a sense, save for a few tracks. the last two songs are more abstract. ' cosmic love ' is possibly one of the most beautiful songs on this playlist and to ever exist. i can see their devotion to each other growing into something blinding. this maybe relates to fanni more, she seems more likely to make love and her life with arnauld the only thing she surrounds herself with. there's just that and nothing else. but... arnauld is not too far from this state. he'll be able to reason with himself and he has his duties, but considering how recklessly he acts all things fanni... " i took the stars from my eyes and then i made a map / and knew that somehow i could find my way back / then i heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too / so i stayed in the darkness with you... " the playlist ends with ' shallows ' because it was so serene. serene and hauntingly beautiful. it's a sister-song to ' i will follow you into the dark '. when one parts from this world, will the other come find them when it's time ?

#[ ;; fanni. ]

🎲 - One for Caz, and one for Woowoo! ( @plague-on-the-run / @nomans-land-rp ))

[These are VERY LONG so I'm putting them under a cut.]

🎲 10 Caz-A kiss along the jawline

Issue after issue after issue. Nothing could have gone right that day. Rolling up into town to find that marauders had trashed the place was just the start. Rachael thought it was her lucky day she had barely missed the action and finding Caz there set a red herring of credulity for the remainder of the day. Who did she piss off to have such a crummy rest of the day? Already tired from the journey in, she gets to work and not only fought with maintaining and tuning up the Plant there, but she also got into a bit of a fist fight with one of the workers. Over what? She'd tell you the sheer incompetence of man.

After that, she was somehow pickpocketed at some point that day, ran out of cigarettes and unable to buy more, found out that the raiders did damage to a water main so no running water was available in the town till morning, and she didn't have enough cash for a hotel room and dinner. That's enough to make a grown man cry, she reckons.

She ran into Caz again after the sun had set and they spent the evening together after that. Rach tried to keep up brighter spirits but inevitably failed as she confessed the slight pickle she's in. It turns out Caz already had a room at the local inn and a couch was included in the furniture. Rachael was welcomed to stay there for the night and she thought she could cry, realizing food was still an option for the night.

The evening began to turn around after they got a bite to eat and headed back to the inn. The night was cooler like an apology for the harsh heat of the day. Rachael set her things down by the couch and went to the washroom to see if there was any trickle of water left in the pipes. With barely enough to fill a cup, she used half of it to clean herself up. When she came back into the main room, there was Caz checking her mask on the bed and something on the couch. A tiny rectangular box in plastic wrapping. Rachael knew what they were immediately and could cry knowing she had smokes again. Opting to no longer contain her bigger emotions, she goes over to the bed and wraps her arms around Caz's shoulders in a hug from behind.

"I could kiss yew. Actually, I will." Rachael tightens her arms around Cazs neck and plants as many quick kisses to the back of her jaw as she can before she's told to knock it off. Such joy for some cigarettes.

🎲 39 Wolfwood-A tentative kiss

It has been a stretch of time since Rachael and Wolfwood met on that windy day. A game of darts bringing them closer together till they could part ways, but not stay separated forever. Every time they reconvened, they grew closer and closer. Whether it's having smoke breaks at night or keeping their skins on their persons, they grew to not just tolerate each other but rather enjoy one another's company. The sands would not let them part ways indefinitely, it seems. (And Vash had a part to play in that as well...)

There came a point where Caz pointed out some details to Rachael about their priest. The things he was going out of his way to do and give to her. They claimed he fancied her! She didn't take notice of them at first, but after Caz had set the seed into her mind was when she started to notice. One thing led to another, and feelings got caught like birds in a tangle of fish nets. Though she still denies it, Rachael does have a fondness for him in return.

It wasn't long before a first kiss was exchanged through taunts and teases. She thought it would be a turning point, but she didn't feel much different after the fact. His company was still enjoyed even if he pissed her off sometimes. Their little taunted spats were actually fundamental to their relationship at this point. The bit of spice that kept each of them on their toes. It was fun in a way!

Now, it's an evening out in the empty desert. The moons are high and the sun is slipping under the horizon. The gaggle of outlaws (and one non outlaw) had stopped for the night to rest. A fire was going with a pot heating up what scraps they had on them. While the others were either cleaning their fire arms or setting themselves up for the night, Rachael and Nic, as she referred to him, remained by the fire. She watched the pot boil with the collective water and flavor cubes they added to it. The chunks of dried meat weren't soft enough yet.

Nic sat right next to her, leaning back against his cross that he had staked into the ground. They chatted on and off as she watched the thickening mixture. Catching up on where they've been and what they did as they waited always reminded her of the fondness she felt with him. She eventually joined him in using the cross as a backrest. There wasn't much room and she was more leaning against him than the big metal gun. They settled into it with his arm over her shoulders and her cheek against his collar. Not much was thought about it as the hypnotic dance of the fire kept her attention. But after a bit, she began to think about things as he lit up a cigarette. The silence between them was comfortable and it occurred to her that thats how she felt around him often.

The smell of smoke reminded her of him now, and when she picked up that he had lit up she glanced up at him. Something tugged at her brain, telling her to do something. The others weren't around or looking, but what if they came back? She was fighting with herself on if she should or shouldn't. Her patience with herself ran thin. In one quick motion, she plucks the cigarette from his mouth. When he turns to bark at her she thievery is when she smashes her face to his. It's a very uncoordinated and unsure kiss.

They break apart when he blows smoke into her mouth to make her cough and hack. Nic gets a punch in his shoulder for that and told he gets served last.

𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐊𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆⸻ i stayed up way too late last night reading rachael allen’s harley quinn: reckoning (would recommend!) and am throwing together a few notes about what i’m incorporating into my portrayal!! spoilers for the book ahead of course!

school.

harley takes a gap year after graduating high school to participate in the gotham university bridge scholars program - “wherein high school graduates who are outstanding in STEM, especially ones who aren’t from the best neighborhoods or backgrounds, get paid to intern in labs across campus”

the lab she works in studies the SV1 gene - trying to figure out if there’s a genetic marker that predisposes someone to being a supervillain. she suggests an epigenetic component - “what if every time a person experiences trauma, it causes a posttranslational modification to the gene, and if a person accumulates enough life trauma, it increases their chances of becoming a super-villain? . . . not everyone has a dangerous version of the SV1 gene . . . what if it’s a combination of a bad SV1 gene and traumatic life experiences?” she co-authors a paper on the subject (though her skeevy professor does not list her as lead author despite his promises.)

harleen manages to secure a blood sample from the joker and his epigenetic markers are off the charts ⸻ but harleen’s levels are twice his. she is a little bit panicked about this.

she receives the gotham u presidential scholarship, which allows her to attend the school - but there’s a part of her that is always uncertain of whether or not she actually earned it

life.

her mom died when she was about ~7 & she is a little bit touchy around hospitals as a result, though she’s working to get over it

she’s very claustrophobic in her youth ( and pop-tarts are a fairly big trigger for her), though she’s trying self-conducted exposure therapy to address this

speaking of - her dad gets murdered by a group of thugs when she’s 18. she sees them beginning to shake him down for money he owes and turns the other way - so she lives with the knowledge that she could have possibly stopped his death.

she’s had a weird fascination with the joker since she was 18 - she’s more than a little bit inspired by his persona; that’s what gives her the courage to stand up to her dad the day he dies.

she has adhd (but has figured out how to work with it by the time she’s in college)

she still competes in gymnastics during her gap year - and she teaches younger kids in order to be able to afford her own lessons.

very skilled at picking locks!! definitely a result of childhood trauma!!

love.

she’s dating a girl named bernice who is also in her lab - she’s very much in love. full ‘i’m gonna marry this girl.’

this is where she gets the infamous stuffed beaver - bernice found the beaver at some flea market and hid her journal in it.

when bernice ends up in arkham, harley gets custody of the beaver. she has it to this day.

the reckoning.

she’s part of a vigilante group called the reckoning, a group of four gotham u students fighting against the rampant misogyny present on campus.

they expose several professors + apprehend a truly terrible man ( though the circumstances leading up to his arrest result in bernice being sent to arkham. ) harley makes the active choice not to kill.

her vigilante activity ceases once she actually starts as a student - she is afraid of jeopardizing her scholarship and....

harley meets renee montoya for the first time in connection with this group ( and is in fact arrested by her. ) montoya agrees to drop the investigation into the group if they disband, and harley agrees.

things i may / may not be keeping.

i’m still figuring out what origin i want to keep for the harley quinn nickname... j’s harlequin -> h’s ‘harley quinn’? maybe? harleen (2019)’s slut-shamey origin (and harley reclaiming it)? mm....... i don’t know. i’ll get back to y’all.

still figuring out exactly how much harleen changes when she becomes harley in terms of personality - but i def don’t see her as the ‘omg rainbow sparkles unicorns’, always yelling, full of energy girlie that’s presented in this book. we shall see how this shakes out. i think it’s a fair take but i just don’t think it’s my take!!

she maaayyy or may not volunteer at arkham while she’s an undergraduate student. if she does it’s def only to try and see bernice.

also not entirely positive she has any face to face contact w/ joker while she’s this young (vs. the brief meeting they have in the book) . . . i think i prefer their first encounter being him almost murdering her on the street after she’s out of med school. i just.. like.. she’s eighteen 😵‍💫 and we all know how it ends up ... and i don’t ...... 🙃

i’m just like so curious to see what the next book does with harley joining a sorority ( she’s considering at the end of this book ) & how that impacts her sense of belonging ( especially ‘cause the book’s author seems to have had a really positive experience with her sorority and so i don’t think she’s going to want to portray it in a negative / exclusionary way ). i’m also not 100% sure which way i’m gonna go with this - because again i’m not 100% sure how that unravels and leads harley to the super lonely place she is when she meets joker?? i really have no interest in the ‘blonde bitches are mean to harley ‘cause she’s poor’ plot so i .... will think about this.

#this is literally entirely for my reference LMAO #'octavia read mad love' no ♡#jk it's on the list #i was just swayed by the queer romance this book promised me (and DELIVERED)#⸻ to live for the hope of it all — ooc.

Hello again,👋 I'm the anon who wanted to ask a question about the Pedro poc discord server. Life got super busy and time just got away, I apologize for not getting back to you yet, and thank you for taking the time to talk to me! This will probably be a very silly question, it's something I'm kinda insecure about. I'm so sorry if it sounds ridiculous or anything. I'm a native (indigenous) person and I was wondering if that's classed as being poc? Again, this is probably very silly, but I've heard so many different things from different people, both positive and negative, so I'm just not 100% sure in myself anymore. Thank you so much again! I hope you're having a wonderful day or night

Hey there! No worries, I totally get it! Life’s been hectic for me too lately! And to answer your question, to me that would qualify as a poc. But I also don’t want to speak for others since I’m not indigenous myself. I think I general, people can’t really be put into these near little boxes to categorize themselves so things are rarely so black and white. But, I would say if you consider yourself a poc, than you’re a poc (u less you’re pulling some Rachael Dogezel shit or whatever her name is lol but I doubt you’re doing that lol). So if you’d still like an invite to the server, let me know! Have a good day!
