also. 🥺 wol anna and ywkon lloyd??
i did talk about this one when i responded to aera's ask
BUT.
(from this meme)
this gives me a good excuse to mention the other thing i thought of but haven't written down yet lol:
i think lloyd, naturally curious, asks if he exists in anna's world
and while of course there's a distinct lack of kratos in wol anna's life so of course there is no lloyd, how anna ACTUALLY answers is that well, she hasn't really thought about having kids, except htat she mostly doesn't want to have kids, because... like, what she does is dangerous, isn't it?? wouldn't it be safer, to not have kids??? she's not sure she has that kind of time, that kind of energy, for a comittment like that, and an infant deserves more from her than she can give it
which definitely makes lloyd feel. uhhhhh. Some Kind Of Way.
like it's better that she is having these thoughts before having kids. but also. she's still having those thoughts, isn't she? wouldn't she still abandon him, if he had been born - (no) (she wouldn't have, not in that way, not in this universe, she and the scions would have passed baby lloyd around and COPED, but he doesn't know that, and he's not going to mention, and even if she did, she wouldn't say anything, because, uh, not her son??)
so in sum
anna: idk it's probably dangerous for me to have a kid idk how i'd raise them so i'm just going to not. have a kid. i think.
lloyd, whose own mother used that arguement as an excuse to not go searching for him when they got separated when he was like 3: yeah. yeah. cool.
due to the state of things and team lineups. also. i need you
i need you to imagine
this converastion happening and the tension is building and
mario (mario) is in teh background trying to pretend he doesn't exist
flipping thru his phone contacts frantically for a distraction
even though he doesn't have cell service
wait tell me more about dywc 7 and 12. also christ i dont remember ywkon 11 at all
from this meme
ywkon 11 "anna and almond are here (24.8)"
oh this is just a save of a convo we had. er. i don't even want to check. i'm not even opening the document. it's just "oops anna and almond hopped universes and ended up smack dab in the middle of soup" into ->[ffxiv wol echo momence] [anna figures out jade's tragic backstory] into -> there's no way almond - a literal aegis - pops up and someone like citan doesn't come by the labs to be nosy into -> anna casting TBN on jade on cooldown as long as citan is in the room, which is the part i think about very fondly and think i had like a sketch of a scene written about

dywc 7 "dywc ideas ft A and almond and"
oh this is spoilers for everyone so i'm not sharing all of the details but just know it features them staring at this like hmmmmm that might not be good
-
dywc 12 "wol anna and ywkon lloyd"
oh the entire doc is just
> can you turn into a dragon / no and when you put it like that I realize that’s fucking bullshit.
> scales....
> Mythra
> arm / haha same arm
> unfortunately if it’s post shb then anna is actually like 27 or 28 which means she’s not younger than lloyd is used to seeing LMAO.
that's it tha'ts all in the doc. i definitely have more convo between the two of them elsewhere saved but .

!! > FUNCTIONS AS NAVIGATION FOR THEIR PERSONAL, DYWC- RELEVANT BIOS < !!
!! > SORT THE CHARACTERS BY TEAM / FANDOM < !!
!! > SEE BRIEF OVERVIEWS OF MY FUNNY AUS < !!

you can view it
[ ON THE DYWC JOURNAL ] (preferred)
[ ON ITS OWN DREAMWIDTH POST ] (scuffed!?)
[ TUMBLR MIRROR ] (clean html! wrong site!)
speaking of putting that chart to work here's the dwyc cast on it
ywkon cast in the "knows what ptsd is" axis, tales of canon cast down in the "doesn't know what ptsd is" axis. sylvarant v tethealla at war DEFINITELY don't have a concept of ptsd and im forever thinking fondly of nael's bit about totabyss canon jade not knowing what therapy is. i think aldurant has a concept of ptsd at least by this point - jade definitely talks like he probably understands it.
this doesn't mean he's coping.
mythra (xc2 canon) is up in the top right, which was aera's suggestion. she was going to be the comedic outlier, but let's be real here, no one in dywc is coping worse than tos canon kratos is LMAOOOOOOOO
i was figuring ywkon kratos would be the most learned to cope axis but i couldn't deny that solid snake almost definitely had him beat
(you may note the kratoses on the complete opposite corners. that's why ywkon kratos hates tos kratos, etc, etc,)
"you think pyra isn't coping?" she's supressing. that's something else entirely. that's why colette is there, as well
"is alvis coping or not" irrelevant
"you don't think jade harley learned to cope" no she's of the same breed colette is. she's too busy convincing everyone she's fine to actually address her problems.
the ftpcast is. you just have to trust me, okay. no i don't think kairi is coping but kairi is also convinced she doesn't have ptsd. (she probably does.) and kano is probably coping more since dywc is post atr but his whole thing is that he's kind of Notoriously Bad at coping so . for now.
fiora isn't coping she's also repressing her problems. shulk has never coped rationally with this trauma once in his life, that's why xenoblade is even a game that is happening,
