The Tempest alignment chart. I made this soon after my first (and only) time reading the play. I don't remember if it's accurate or not haha.

I figured I’d round out Aro Week by posting a map of Tempest’s polycule as I am currently aware of it.

At the center we have Tempest (aroallo). Double lines indicating long-standing relationships link him with Szearbhyn, Jynn, and Akieryon who joined the party in Balances.

Xan (some kind of aspec) is monogamous with Szearbhyn and cares very little what the rest of them do. Jynn and Shay have a very complicated thing going on because Shay is a ruling monarch and Jynn can’t live where he is.

Crap, I forgot to put a little line between Akieryon and Jynn.

Anyway.

Single lines indicate newer or undefined relationships. Tempest has one to Zhieri and one to [redacted 1], who has established relationships with [redacted 2] and [redacted 3]. (The latter comes into play when I get around to writing Resurrection Dysfunction.)

The arrows from Akieryon and Szearbhyn to Zhieri refer to the special circumstance of Zhieri’s existence (explained in Balances).

Dotted lines indicate crushes or potential relationships. There’s one from Tempest to [redacted 2] and one from Zhieri to [redacted prime].

As far as what I’ve got written and/or planned so far, I don’t think I’ve left anyone out?

I am still a valiant defender of previously-human V1 even after 2 or so years

art is so, by gods bloodied bones, valuable and important to me. Hey man. Even if you don't get famous. Even if you don't get as many likes, views, interaction, etc. as you want. Even if no one ever sees and no one ever knows. Even if you don't want them to see and are happier creating privately. Even if you think it's weird and disgusting (or if it /is/, somehow). Even if you created it from such a deep place of pain and grief. Even if you created it at your happiest, and were still left unsatisfied and wanting more. Even if you saw something no one else saw in your efforts. YOU MADE SOMETHING AND THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME. AND I VALUE YOU AND YOUR ART EVEN IF I NEVER SEE IT! IF YOU NEVER EVER POST OR PUBLISH IT! I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE YOUR ART!!!! I LOVE YOUR MEDIUMS!! I LOVE YOUR EFFORTS. DON'T EVER STOP!

unlocked the cheat code to infinitely leveling up his magic when he was a kid

protecc

could genuinely break reality but won’t because he dgaf

worked as a bodyguard, can vaporize people, prefers to get his hands dirty fr

doesn’t know he has two dads (adopted)
