Saw this post on twitter and thought 'oooh that looks fun' so see below, unreadable, Milly, Sallie (And Cassian And Jasmine kind of) relationship headcanons and source I made it ups.

Plus 5000 things I didn't include below because the yapping never stops

I thought about including Milly's common in-game teammates, but I realised that's like every good magic unit and I don't know anything about half of them.

^ As a secondary thing to this I hope Milly would go to Raven's school TwT

I wanted to include a love line from Nightingale to Chief, but I was worried that would make Milly's comment on her come off as jealous rather than bureaucratic

Wanted to include '(Oblivious (Lying to herself))' as Sallie's note towards Milly but thought was a littttttle too much skdjsk

Hamel and Jasmine are friends because dancers. I just couldn't be bothered to write it in a fresh and cool Milly / Sallie way.

Since Chief was dead dead dying during Shattered Blade I imagine they had very little involvement with dealing with the 'irrelevant to getting Hella back' parts of the Euphoria Incident (Also kind of insane to get off Euphoria after who knows how long to find out that Discity is at war with the Farlands like-), so I imagine Sallie would mostly be dealing with Wynn and to a lesser extent Nightingale (Who is also dealing with Chief at that time lmao)

^ Second to this, considering the wording at the end of Honeyed Night about Sallie trying to visit Milly (That sound stressful af!). I think she would appreciate Wynn's gentle and patient attitude.

With either Zephyr & Cassian or Snow & Selene (or all 4?) I wanted to put a joke about them having a bet of when Milly and Sallie would get together but I couldn't think how to put that in succinct way.

Kinda wanted to include Sallie's unnamed friend but was entirely unsure how to do that

I think Milly would really like Irrheia and vice versa but I forgor TwT

Milly & Theodore - Foils

Something that caught my eye when I initially watched Honeyed Night was how similar Theodore and Milly were. It was very vindicating rewatching the event because it is absolutely all over the text.

I think their most obvious similarity is their "sincerest love, for you!" Or well for Sallie in this case. They point out the same or very similar traits they like about her.

They both protect her, putting Sallie's well-being over theirs, even comforting her in the same way - how sweet!

(Just because there's not a lot of context here, the Milly line is when she returns after being beaten by Mr. E, having taken the punishment for Sallie)

It's their naivete and sincerity and stupidly (as Sallie puts it) that makes her trust them so easily.

One example which makes me smile evil style is this line where Theodore says he wants to stay by Sallie's side. Theodore wants to but doesn't, Milly says she will and she does.

I'd like to point out in particular, that the flashback where Theodore is shown protecting Sallie and saying the 'stay by your side' line is immediately followed by Milly saving Sallie from Merlot and then saying the same thing to her.

There's something to be said with both Milly and Theodore's background contrasting with Sallie and causing rifts between them, but I can't quite think how to argue this particularly strongly on Milly's side

With Theodore this is much more pronounced. His position in life and those around him repeatedly hurt Sallie. His inability to leave that life is the reason she was left abandoned by him.

Milly came from nothing, and Sallie accidentally and purposely hurts her with this. Her love of the world despite everything she's been through drives Sallie up. the. wall.

The biggest difference between them of course is Theodore's cowardice and Milly's bravery. It's a little funny how often Sallie calls him a coward in fact. Sadly I don't think there's an instance where Sallie calls Milly brave or fearless but we know how brave Milly is through her actions the entire event.

There's an irony that when he does at last protect Sallie on Euphoria, it's from Sallie's and his own actual saviour. But it's the thing that allows Sallie to utilize Milly's power, believing in love again.

Then of course there's the scene that solidified the connection to me.
