Tomorrow :D
I am completely devastated yay!
(Not a coping mechanism )
Venus by Sleeping at last but for Dapper and then later, s!Dapper and hh!Shade. (S! Is ShelterMC :P)
I have this superpower of forcefully thinking of songs as plantonic or familial to fit characters and stories, so bear with me on this one because this song is very clearly hinting at a romantic partner, but it doesn’t explicitly state it, and I have free will :3
Okay, I kind of relate this song to both Pomme and Dapper, but mostly dapper so we’ll roll with it. When the whole egg ending happened and Dapper ‘died’ he didn’t really die. Because of his relation with Bad being his father, and the fact that Bad can imprint and influence his genes in people becuz of his weird dna, Dapper was, immortal? Not really, but kind of Demi-immortal.
Him and Pomme were stuck in some sort of black void, just… floating. And then suddenly, there was a light, and they went towards it and landed next to a tree. There was one thing they both immediately noticed when as their eyes adjusted to the light though. They didn’t have their shells. Or, their small stubby legs. Instead, they felt extra, weird limbs in their place. They both quickly realize that they were human?? Or close to it, as they saw their small budding dragon wings and swishing tails. They also both realized with relief that their trademarked accessories were still placed on top of their heads, Pomme’s beret and Dapper’s top hat resting a little big but still comfortable. Dapper also had glasses which he laughed at because it turns out he was half blind like his dad.
Anywho, they both decide to stay together (obvi, siblings to the end :3) and just walk around. They didn’t know where they were, but it certainly wasn’t quesadilla island, and they didn’t know where their parents were either. As they were navigating through the calm meadows and their strange bodies, a kind woman who was looking for more food ingredients saw two children walking in the distance. An older and a younger, seemingly no older than 7, holding hands and looking like they just learnt how to walk. This woman, seeing as the sun was slowly setting and that night would soon fall, decided to go approach the children.
“Where are your parents, little ones?” She asked softly, stopping near them but not to close as to startle them. They looked up at her but didn’t seem to know how to answer. The younger one with blonde and black hair, shifted a little bit closer to the older, and the older one squeezed her hand back. Just as the woman, whose name was Ana, was going to come to the conclusion that they didn’t speak English, the older one shook his head at her.
“No?” Ana said, eyebrows furrowing. “You two are just alone out here by yourselves?” The smaller one nodded this time, heterochromic red and blue eyes slightly watering but staring at her with defiance and hope. As if wishing that the woman staring at her would be a nice person, but challenging her if she wasn’t.
“Well, it’s not safe out here alone, and I have a lot of free space in my house,” Ana started. “You two are welcome to stay with me if you’d like.”
Dapper and Pomme looked at each other, seemingly communicating with eye contact alone, sharing a thousand words without saying anything at all. They then broke contact and nodded simultaneously at the woman.
“Okay,” Ana replied, and before either of the siblings could register it, large, white angel wings sprouted from the back of her as she stood up straighter. “I don’t want to do anything you two are uncomfortable with, but night is quickly falling and my home is just upon that hill to the south. I could fly us all there to make it faster?”
After quick debate they both agreed. Something about this woman’s demeanour was very inviting and kind. She reminded them of the kind people they left at the island.
holding on tightly to their new ride, Ana flew them over to a decently big house resting on a hill, surrounded by flower fields and green vibrant grass. A large contrast compared to the dark void both kids were stuck in just hours before.
As they made their landing, the Ana gently lowered them to the ground and led them into the home.
As the siblings were taking the house in and observing their surroundings, Ana realized they were still holding each other’s hands, as if they were glued together. She smiled a sad smile at that. Where were their parents?
“So, what are your names?” Ana asked the two, interrupting their quiet observations. “I’ll start. My names Ana,” she told them.
They looked up at her, gears turning in their head and expressions turning a little, frustrated? The younger ones head looked around the area, and for the first time since Ana met them, let go of the older’s hand. She walked into the kitchen and stood on her tippy toes to barely reach an apple at the back of the counter top. Once her fingers grasped the edge, she brought the red glistening fruit over to the two, and promptly displayed her findings. “Apple?” Ana said, slightly confused. The girl pointed at herself, and then back at the fruit. “Your name is apple?” The girl nodded, smiling.
The older one, on the other hand, who was just diligently going back to observing their surroundings, went over to a chest and started digging through the contents. “Huh?” Ana said aloud, but didn’t make a move to stop them. She wanted to see what they were getting.
They take their face out of the chest and pull out a sign and a small shoddy pencil. “My name is Dapper, her’s is Pomme.” He slowly wrote out on the wood. Writing with fingers was a little difficult Dapper soon realized, but it was a good thing he was a quick learner and observed how the others did it before.
His writing wasn’t the neatest but Ana was able to decipher it. “Dapper and Pomme, such sweet names.” She smiled. “Okay, I have an open room for you two that I think you’d like,” she said, leading them through the house and up the stairs to a room with bunk beds. “You can decorate it however you’d like, or just get used to it,” Ana told them, motioning to the side of the room with chests full of presumably room decor.
Their eyes lit up as they smiled and nodded at Ana and set to exploring their new room.
Ana decided to take this time to go see if she could quickly make some signs for the both of them. Dapper’s idea was pretty smart and they seemed to know how to write. She needed to have some sort of communication with them after all.
(Okay I am #getting off topic, but like, this is rlly fun and I haven’t been able to talk abt ShelterMC lore and I the details are a lil fuzzy so I’m half making it up as I go. Like how their first meeting went and stuff, it was basically like this, I’m just taking creative liberty and writing how I think they would act n stuff :P. (Also cuz I don’t feel like rewatching the vod rn lol)
I will continue this later because yes this all will eventually tie back to house heir Shade and basically Dapple duo’s story and stuff :3 also because I still haven’t explain how the song relates to their later lore yet-
Anywho, here is the song tho btw
Dapper and pomme
They're playing this btw:
Goddd I miss them so fucking bad
I LOVE THEM SM
