The Chain on a road trip

Car Diagram (design by @esthelle-wanders)

Time: You’d think he’d be the driver, but everyone has chosen life instead. Sits right behind the driver though. Typically reading. He either acts as a barrier between the front seat and the back, or actively encourages the shenanigans going on behind him (he never adds to them, only eggs on). He just stands at the door at rest stops to keep track of everyone (he LOVES those pink marshmallow/coconut things though, and gets one at every stop they make)

Wars: actual Designated Driver. Only one that can focus on the road with the ChaosTM that goes on behind him. If he’s in a hurry he can be snippy about pit stops taking too long, but usually gets excited about them like everyone else.

Twi: Sits next to Time. They have relatively sane discussions. Twilight is either actively keeping order in the back, or staring out the window in contemplation. He’s the one who fills the car with gas/washes the windows at rest stops.

Sky: Asleep. The whole time. Even through some pit stops. Will wake up long enough to add something EXTREMELY disturbing to the conversation and then immediately fall back asleep. LOVES road trip snacks.

Wild: Sits next to Wind and has chaotic (and mostly unsettling) conversations. He’s not allowed to go off on his own at pit stops because of too many “accidents” that have happened in the past. In charge of car snacks.

Legend: Navigator. Only because he would heavily backseat drive anyways if not given the role. He has a backpack filled with stuff that people may need (coins for tolls, water bottles, Dramamine for car sickness, etc.) Let’s NO ONE else touch the aux. Takes the longest at pit stops because he actually looks at (and buys) the weird tchotchkes.

Hyrule: He also stares out the window, but to actually watch the scenery. Or he’s leaning over Wild’s chair (or Four) to participate in the conversation in front of him. Also not allowed to go off on his own at pit stops, more due to getting very distracted. He was left at a gas station once, and has not been let out of sight since.

Four: Gets placed in the back middle (short legs) and is very salty about it. Has earbuds in if there’s no conversation, listening to audiobooks. He always brings a craft or something of the like to do while they’re driving. Never listens to Time or Twi when they’re lecturing the backseat (he assumes, mostly correctly, that it’s not for him).

Wind: Can never sit still for very long, usually the one calling for a pit stop. Keeps the conversation going. Knows a lot of road trip games, and starts sing along a with the music. LOVES stopping for fast food. He explores the WHOLE of the area around the gas station. Never gets lost (unlike Hyrule)

BONUS

Fi: the navigation assistant. Sky is the only one that can make it work consistently and has to be woken up to fix it

I’ve been reading through the notes and I just have to say that I absolutely promise, promise, promise you that nobody in the dental surgery is there to judge you, and we’re certainly not mad at you. Cavities happen. Even to dentists. You think your dentist has a mouth full of virgin teeth? Unlikely! They’ve all visited eachother’s surgeries to get a quickie filling (ooh, saucy) between patients. They understand that life can get in the way of oral hygiene sometimes. They understand that life’s too short not to eat chocolate. They understand that you’ve got to live. I swear to you that everyone in that room is just there to help you. Please, please, please don’t stop going to the dentist because you’re worried they’ll be mad at you. It’s really not the case. They understand. It’s fine. It’s really, really fine. Please go to the dentist. I promise you it’s ok.

You would not believe how comforting this is.

[ineffectualdemon]

I had some badly bleeding gums awhile back after a depressive episode and my dentist has access to my prescriptions and I was on an anti depressants and antipsychotic at the time

he asked if my mental health was a factor and when I admitted it was he said “I can understand that it gets hard to do things like brush your teeth at times like that. Just do the best you can and brush your teeth at least once a day whenever you have motivation but if you can’t don’t beat yourself up. I know you’re doing your best”

When I tell you I almost cried

[sapphicwiles]

I tell this to the kids I treat so often when they’re old enough to ask what getting a cavity means for them. I tell them, “If you get a cavity, the only thing that happens is that we fix it. I’m not gonna be upset, I’m not gonna think you did anything wrong, I’m just gonna help you fix it.”

For the Lavender AU by @hilzelism 🪻💜🐰

I’m very lucky to have a front row seat to my favourite characters’ struggles and breakdowns. May there be more Serious Ravios™️, Lorule tragedies, and psychological horror.

[hk-soulblood-au]

okay wait one more juicy forsaken child question:

is there an endgame?

so to speak of, anyway: just a greater climax beyond phantom just being Like That forever? no doubt the news would reach hornet and lace soon enough (though far too late for anything to be done during the initial ascension) so i don’t imagine phantom’s days as the choir’s new god is too long…

there could be a funky parallel with hornet, secsen and lace all slaughtering the choir to liberate phantom but… then what? phantom’s likely far beyond any point of return transformation-wise, do they continue to exist in a divine, unshackled but unfamiliar form, or does hornet finally permit them death?

Well, to answer that question, I have to elaborate on some of the plot involved here. Spoilers ahead!

A few days after after the Choir gave up on capturing Lace, they grabbed Phantom in secret. Lace went to visit them one night and found nothing but their mask and longpin. She assumed they were dead.

Hornet and Lace left Pharloom entirely not long after that. Neither of them had a reason to stay anymore: Pharloom's rebuilding was well underway, so nobody really needed their guidance.

The ascension happened after Lace and Hornet left. They have no idea that Phantom is even alive, much less ascended.

Speaking of the ascension, a big thing for the Forsaken child is that their ascension was carried out improperly. Remember the Palethread thing? Yeah, the Choir was unable to add the Palethread back to their threadspun heart. They realized there was no way to safely access their heart without killing them, and if they died, then they'd have zero options for a Monarch. They tried to compensate by repairing all of Phantom's surface-level injuries with Palethread, but. Well. Turns out it doesn't work that way.

How do we know the ascension wasn't carried out properly? Simple! Phantom was in pain the whole time. Ascension is actually supposed to be nearly painless, if overstimulating and deeply disorienting. (This means Lace's ascension was also done improperly, but to a much lower degree!)

Hornet and Lace don't return to Pharloom for a long, long time. In the oneshot, it's been at least a few decades, which isn't that long when you're immortal, but still. And since they've been gone so long, the Forsaken Child has given up hope that they'll come to put them out of their misery.

Everybody in Pharloom knows about the monster in the Cradle. Nobody knows its real origin except the Choir. And the Choir, as usual, lies to everyone. They have a whole fake story set up: the beast was always in the Cradle, and Grand Mother Silk's divinity kept it weakened and hidden away, unable to torment the commonbugs. But with the Monarch dead, the beast began to regain its strength, and now that its power is fully reawakened, it must be offered sacrifices in order to prevent it from ravaging the kingdom.

So, with all that out of the way, what exactly do Lace and Hornet do when they learn the truth? How could they possibly hope to undo what was done when the only one who could speak of it honestly has no voice?

Well... perhaps a melody can reach the memory.

[hk-soulblood-au]

"Precious Daughter of Silk and Soul. You are the pride and joy of the Citadel; a gift from our grand Monarch. Do not forget how much you are loved."

What better character to start off these reference sheets than Lace? I'll admit, her head shape still gives me a bit of trouble, but it's absolutely worth it. All things considered, I think she turned out pretty great!

[hk-soulblood-au]

Reblogging to add close-ups of all the drawings I used for the borders, since I'm really proud of how they turned out!
