Siblings!

Going down to pick up my sister so she can spend the week up with me and my mom. While driving my mom looked at me and said "Don't fight with your sister. Do not be an ass."

Which, fair, I fight with my sibling all the time. So I said, "Ha! Fine I won't fight with her, I'll match energy."

She looked at me again and said "Do Not! Match energy with your sister."

"Why because you know she can be a c*nt?"

"Do not. Match energy."

Amazing interaction.

Don't you just love it when your parents try to tell you, an adult, what you do and don't remember?

"Oh I remember seeing that movie."

"no you don't."

"but uh, but I do? I watched it in like middle school it was about-"

"no you don't."

Inspired by: Almost word for word conversation I had with my mom but it wasn't about a movie

Love it when you're just trying to tell a joke or give your opinion on how you don't really like people and your family takes it as a queue to call you lazy and say you have a shit life.

Thanks.... It's called depression and anxiety from a trauma response, and you're REALLY HELPING!

My therapist said something that caught me off guard and was amazing. I was explaining how I've been getting random bursts of energy that make me pretty manic, laugh and say the most insane shit that I don't even remember.

Dead serious she looked at me and said "like the human version of zoomies."

Yes.... Like human zoomies....

Does anyone want a large orange house cat that very clearly has ADHD and anxiety? They don't need much, just food, attention and an Internet connection. I can provide the rest.

(It's me, I'm the cat, don't blow my cover)

Don't you just love when you're expected to help everyone with everything at the drop of a hat but when you beg for help on one thing all you get are excuses and "Aww that sucks, deal with it."

I want, to die. Not like going from alive to dead forever, but die. Does that make sense?

Executive dysfunction is such a magical thing.

I am so hungry, my stomach literally hurts. Food is IN THE SAME ROOM AS ME.

I can't make my body get up to go get it. I want to eat so bad....

My mom doesn't laugh a lot, usually the most you get out of her is a small chuckle or a quick ha.

I randomly say shit that I know would make her laugh. (Situational comedy) So when she doesn't I can't stop myself and I just yell,

"I'm funny dammit!"

Does anyone else do this?

You ever just wanna scream?

Nothings really wrong, no one has done anything to wrong you

You're just done but still have stuff to do, so.... Scream?

But even that seems tiring

So done, so tired, I want a nap

Talking to my mom, just idle joking conversation and she says,

"I can't drink red bull, makes my heart go jfsjfsyofiftusihdy."

Then said, "But, I drank so much red bull when I was pregnant with you."

So I said, "And that's why I have ADHD."

"Probably." She responded without skipping a beat.

Never had a red bull but it's probably why I have ADHD apparently

I haven't posted in a while, though I don't think that really matters? But I wanted to get back into it because it's fun and I have a lot of plans for this story.

So let's start back up with the last of the demons!

Nova! (Honestly couldn't think of anything else, I will be taking suggestions)

If I keep it, I picked the name mostly based on her hair and eyes. It sounded cute, weirdly fits her and it's all I got, names are hard okay!?

Her design was never posted, so this is just two versions of her. I don't know if I like the skirt or shorts more but I do know I don't like the extra hair on the right. Though it could be part of a thing where she takes out her braids, could be cute.

Did I mean for them to be from the same perspective? No. Am I keeping it because I can't find a good one that has skin color options and scars? Yes.

Story time!

Being raised in the middle levels of the underworld she was neither the strongest or the weakest. Which in the eyes of the leaders in her world made her and all her friends of those layers, perfect soldiers. As a result the mid layers were almost exclusively based on military. School was more of a boot camp and jobs were only held by those that were retired from the military or were waiting to join it.

Nova, unlike the other demons of our story never cared for climbing the ranks or proving herself. She simply wanted to be a good soldier. Useful but in line. Strangely this mindset is what caused her to climb said ranks. If she was offered a higher position she wouldn't turn it down and would always fulfill her new duties in full but she never asked for more.

Doing this since she was old enough to be in school, it eventually became a challenge for her commanders to see how much responsibility she could take. Just how high could she go before they gave her something that was actually overwhelming?

The answer shocked them all once it actually came. At only the age of 14 the only way she could go higher was if they gave her early access to the battlefield. It was debate after debate on if they should actually do such a thing. The main arguments against it being that she's still young and inexperienced, had a family, others wouldn't want to work with a literal child. The arguments for it were that the girl had shown great skill, understood strategy and restraint, held the power to back up her words and had already shown enough skill to be in charge of the older soldiers training, the ones actually old enough to go. So in the end, they voted in favor of the child going to war.

The girls opinion in her mind didn't matter, this is what her superiors wanted. So she would do her best to meet their expectations. As she had always done. It was said it would be more of a trial run considering her age but.... (I can only do basic fist fight scenes when it comes to anything fighting or war strategy so this one is getting cut short, I'm already going off things I remember from shows and school so I'm not pushing it until I do proper research)

Two years, she was on that battle field for two years. At most it was meant to be a few months but once the enemy caught wind of them adding a child? They followed the lead. Nothing was off the table anymore and quickly the war turned more savage. Within those two years it went from more a gun show to get one side to back down.... To finding any way to beat the other side into submission.

Eventually she was pulled out, now 16 and worn down she was back on her home layer. She was given the ability to retire just like older soldiers since none of that was planned and it was their faults. They thought it would just be out of formality and she would deny it, continue working at least at the school as a trainer. Instead, she accepted and for once in her life made an actual demand.

Nova wanted to go to an actual school, not just a boot camp. They were surprised and hesitant but, could they really refuse? So began the process of applying, testing and interviewing for (still can't think of a name for the school). The hardest thing for her was actually the regular exams, never really growing up with full on classes in math and science made it so she just scraped by. She'd need to study hard to stay but, she was in. She was accepted.

Let her 'normal' life begin.

Hey guys, I know not a lot of people read these but the few people that did miss me! I'm back, bad mix of life, family death and adhd. Kept me away a lot longer than I wanted. Who's ready for the angels? I'm not, names are stupid and hard.

Part 2 of the double feature has arrived! Do I know the exact definition for double feature? No! Did I use it anyways because it sounds cool? Yes!

Say hello to Terrian.

Terrian wasn't exactly a hard pick. I just googled names meaning childish and this popped up. It's a Greek name meaning innocent. And it reminds me of the word terror which is fun for the whole demon thing.

Skip past the second set of pictures to read her story.

Her design changed more than I thought it would honestly. It's a good change, I like it a lot more than the original but still, I surprised myself.

Clothes didn't change aside from the butterfly I added to her hair. You'll see why I added it later.

Her eyes now have a brighter shine to them. That was an accident but I still like the change.

A bandaid and blush to make her look a bit more childlike. Matches her personality and makes the smile look bigger and brighter despite being the same.

The hair was the biggest change giving her a more rough appearance and making her look like her own person instead of a copy of her sister.

Ears as I said in Brittas to make all the demons match.

Don't know how I did it but the very first two I did made me happy. Terrian has a purple tint to her but just like Britta her hair and wings are white, not a light purple or something.

Begin!

Terrian was born as the younger twin in a dimension between the three plains of existence. In short they can be labeled the dimensions of the living, the angelic, and the demonic. While the land she lived in was simply refered to as the in-between or the sorting zone.

She was extremely interested in the system that her home ran. The sorting of souls fascinated her but so did basically everything else. She took an interesting in it, focused on it for a while on what to do when and how it worked. After a while though.... She was bored with it and moved on to different topics. She learned how to cook, paint, draw, gymnastics, boxing, baking, ect ect. She would learn something, practice it for a while then grow bored and move on to something else.

This went on for a while until.... Until she met someone, not a love interest, just a friend but a friend that opened the doors for her. To something completely new to her! So simple yet she couldn't see it at first being inside her own world. The fact that there are three plains of existence that she could explore, learn about, make friends? It opened everything to her.

That was that, she dove into research on the best ways to achieve this new goal of hers. Working in the in-between would be one way, working with angels and seeing humans and Ani on a regular basis but it wasn't the same as being there. So she shelved the idea. Instead she found something interesting, being an ambassador for the demon realm, she would be able to go wherever she pleased in the name of peace, trying establish trade and coming to agreements with all four of the main species.

The only problem, what that she didn't grow up in the demon realm but if she played her cards right she could be one for the in-between. That's when it clicked for her. The in-between was literally an in-between! Everyone needed to pass through here to get basically anywhere else. This would be- no, is the central hub for communication and trade. She didn't need to be an ambassador for somewhere specific, she could quite literally be an in-between for any agreements that involved her home.

Determined to get started she spoke to her parents who loved the idea, even if didn't stick to it as usual it was still a fantastic idea. Being important people in the in-between they had a lot of pull and easily convinced people that this was a good idea. Mostly because Terrian had already did most of the research and thought up a plan. Still being a child she could not be the first person in charge but she would be given full credit for the idea and when she finally did come of age.... It would be her turn, if she still wished for the role.

However until that day she would be aloud along any of the excursions so that she may create and strengthen bonds between herself and the children of these leaders in the different plains. There she only had to be her charming self and make friends, exactly what she wanted.

That mission of hers is ultimately why she was sent to the school, to fully gain the education she'll need and see who she'll be working with in the future. It is where children of power were sent to study, even if they weren't born into that power. Everyone in that school has the ability to change all the worlds.

Alright I'll probably redo this one. I won't change her story, just the wording. Terrian was actually really hard to write for and I don't think I like it but I want to get her done before I move on to someone else. So I'll fix this later! Way later, I need a break from her....
