Atomic Tangerine and Unmellow Yellow for the ask game?
Anyone's answer is dine, dealers choice!
atomic tangerine: if you had to choose a neathbow color to associate them with, which would it be and why?
for Aria, it’s violant! it shows up a lot in nemesis already, and it’s the opposite of Lilac’s irrigo, which is fun. woman who can never forget x women who no one remembers does things for me!!
for Sister Cecilia, I’d say probably cosmogone. she’s dawnburnt, hence her title of the luminous pianist, so I imagine she chases sunlight in her dreams too.
unmellow yellow: how much time do they spend in parabola?
Mr Phantasy spends most of its time in parabola! it’s rarely seen by Londoners, and really only makes a conscious effort to be present at the bazaar when all the masters are required to meet for some reason. it’s always lived at least partially in parabola, but it was more present in the waking world in the fourth city, which was its favorite.
Fornax has never entered Parabola. she doesn’t want to know what her reflection would be like, and she rarely remembers her dreams.
Mr Phantasy (it/its) is a curator who serves the Bazaar in certain timelines. Its domain is the mind: dreams, memories, and the brain itself. It is known to stalk Londoners in Parabola if it finds their dreams interesting, and, if approached correctly, will trade valuable information in exchange for memories.
In the Parabolan Wars, Phantasy is a neutral party. It supplies both the cats and the Finger-Kings with weapons, aid, and other supplies. The wars are extremely profitable for Phantasy in terms of both favors and money, so it wants to keep the two sides in combat for as long as possible.
It is close with the Manager of the Royal Bethlehem and sometimes extracts memories from his clients.
Recently, Phantasy has begun to get its claws into the soul trade.
Phantasy’s exact origin is unknown; even it may not be sure. It was not present for the sale of the First City, but it was with the other masters when the city fell. The crime that bound it in servitude to the Bazaar was its tampering with dreams and blending the Is-Not into the Is.
There are rumors that Phantasy is the product of an experiment by the Sun and another Judgement, and that its love for Parabolan sunlight is a subconscious desire to return to the beings that created it.
The Fourth City was Phantasy’s favorite. It helped the Finger-Kings gain control of the rulers of the city, and it still prefers to be called a Khan rather than a Master. Outside of dreams and the Royal Bethlehem, Phantasy frequents the Forgotten Quarter.
Phantasy has been a consistent ally of Mr Apples, and by extension, Mr Veils. It and Mr Spices have never seen eye to eye on the issue of Parabola and Prisoner’s Honey, and constantly argue. Phantasy also believes that music falls under its domain, much to the chagrin of Mr Wines.
Phantasy was involved in the construction of the Royal Bethlehem Hotel, and though it suspects the Manager’s involvement with revolutionaries, it still spends much of its time there. Phantasy takes a slight interest in the Marvellous, since the Manager is a player, and if he wins, Phantasy could take over his hotel.
Phantasy has taken an interest in the soul trade. It has historically preferred not to deal with devils, but the soul trade is extremely lucrative, and Phantasy is curious about the connection between the soul and the mind.
It was the first master to meet Elaina Banks, though Veils was the one to hire her as a tailor. Elaina and Phantasy have a close, if at times uneasy, relationship.
new judgement oc just dropped as of 10 minutes ago.
The Thane-in-Glass: ruler of an unstable kingdom that constantly loses and regains pieces of itself from parabola. this is largely the result of the experiments that Thane itself conducts on its subjects. it, along with the Sun, created Mr Phantasy as a curator halfway between the Is and the Is-Not, to observe what effect this would have on its behavior, especially its hoarding instincts.
when Phantasy took after its creators and began experiments of its own, the Thane was initially proud and interested. but when Phantasy was judged a criminal, the Thane and the Sun both abandoned it, and it turned to the bazaar out of desperation.
it’s said that the Thane’s kingdom only exists if approached from certain angles, and that the Thane’s form changes depending on who looks at it.
you may also know the Thane-in-Glass by another name: Betelgeuse.
Mr Phantasy’s design is so funny to me. like yeah there’s a master who stalks you in parabola and wants to posses your dreams. also it looks like this.
