i love how you vowed to not write them getting sick this month and in return dnf both said "bet!" and got sick themselves irl
the stupidest part about all of this is that I don't even like sickfics all that much so I keep figuring out new ways to get close to sickfics without either of them being sick like 'flu sick'
So here's a Twinkling idea for you! (haha wow I'm so funny)
Sally came down from space to live on (Puppet?) Earth, right?
We also know that she's in her mid-late 20s. There's no way that's her literal age. Stars are billions of years old and she's a yellow star! So in terms of astronomy she's a lot older!
So what if Sally sacrificed her extraordinary lifespan just to live on Earth? She wasn't reborn, she was/is an "adult" star so that's just how she showed up.
She could have lived basically forever but chose not to. Maybe she was tired of being outshined by bigger stars, and I think that maybe,,, she was lonely.
She claims that she came down here to spread her theatrical talent and have her own spotlight for once. But deep down I think she really just wanted friends more than anything. People she could count on and share memories with. People she could put on plays with and for. Someone to bake and play games with, you get the idea.
If you asked, she'd say that such a long life pales into comparison to the life she has now. 🌟
srry for the Sally tangent haha, I don't think about her often (a shame) so I figured I'd share a recent thought! obv non of this is/would be canon lol
Oh my gosh this is such a good idea I love it
The idea of Sally giving up her immortality in exchange for a life on earth is so sweet and kinda sad to me
She knows that she’s choosing a life where she will eventually die much sooner than anyone back home will, and shes okay with it
She’s making the most of the life she chose, and she wouldn’t trade it for the world
Has little scoops learned the very important life lesson today to NOT read a dizzy fic in public? 😉 They will make you cry, they will just make you cry, even if they have an happy ending they will make you cry, I'm crying, it's soooo goooood ^^
Lmao I am a veteran of reading fic at my desk, and today happens to be a slow day and I know from behind the scenes how excited all the betas were about this fic so I just couldn’t wait!!!
I don't remember if I've seen Viola yet? Then again I'm rlly busy being an adult and what extra space is left in my brain is full of my own things
I honestly haven't posted much abt her, I remember saying some things abt her when she was still in development, I wanted some musical themed quest siblings and that's how Viol came to be!
This is an excuse to go off abt her thank you bugg <33 it'll be below the cut bc this is getting kinda long LMAO
(also all art done by @ motor-oil-soup on tumblr thank you sarge <3)
She's one of 3 siblings, and is the middle child. Her older sibling is named Dizzy (jazz-themed, she/they/he), and her younger sister is Delilah (goth/dark folk/folk punk themed, she/her). Viol is themed after classical music and more specifically she is Polish (thank Sarge for that)
Since she's music-themed, I like her attacks to be via music. I imagine her having mostly wind-themed attacks but instead of using any kind of weapon she has a violin she uses. I'd imagine it to be like she plays something and it goes off of that, like some of Orik's attacks, or Thayne's when he gives status effects. I haven’t decided everything for her attack wise so :]
She was raised in a way of like a child musical prodigy, gifted kid burnout type thing. She plays multiple instruments and still loves music, but had issues growing up which included the fact that her & her siblings were All Trans <3 They each ended up going their own way, Viol ended up at the college at the same time Copernica was there, and they became friends :) (I imagine Delilah to live in the cursed city, and Dizzy travels around and performs anywhere they can go :) )
Viol at that time she was first at the college did have a massive ass Crush on Copernica, but saw how Copernica talked abt Armilly so she didn't try and pursue anything. The two of them had conflicting views on how the college should be handled, and when Copernica left, Viol stayed because she wanted to help change how things were happening, she had faith in the staff. Hyapathia eventually becomes headmistress, and Viol is working under her, and really believes that Hyapathia could help make the college better. So later when the quest group comes back to the college, Viol is sent by Hyapathia to 'deal with them'.
So Viol fights some of the quest crew (Armilly and Copernica are off looking at something so Copernica doesn’t see Viol immediately) and they kick her ass after a fight <3. But then Copernica sees Viol, Viol sees Copernica, and it's kinda a like. HUH??? moment for both of them, like hey what are you doing here?
Copernica and Viol catch up for a bit and she tells Viol what’s been going on, and at this point Copernica has realized Hyapathia is the new Headmistress, so they probably talk about that. Copernica also is tasked with introducing Viol to the others as she never met anyone besides from Copernica in the group. Viol is a bit confused as to why her ex crush best friend is now in a group with some kids and an old guy but. She’s very glad to see Copernica again.
Okay now for the gay part. Her and Armilly bond together bc Viol shares her energy with certain things and a friend of her friend is also a friend, and Viol bonds with Copernica b/c they were previously friends and they both share a love for magic and Viol learns abt alchemy from her. I have some self-indulgent content of them in the depths of my google drive which consist of when Viol meets the quest crew, and I’ll probably eventually write one of Viol getting together with Armilly & Copernica. There’s more misc things involving @motor-oil-soup ‘s oc Cordi b/c they are Friends. Besties even.
I haven't done much art of her ever since Sarge hit her w the Polish Beam /lh but I'll put some of the stuff it's done :] (Once again Sarge when you see this thank you for doing my girl justice <3)
Fun little thing abt her: Her pipe is a gramophone!!!
