Aurelia Dragonwings - Reference Sheet

Mostly done as a little design bible for myself, now that I'm overall happy with her design and don't want to accidentally forget stuff. Big timeline version under read more

Here's the absolute beast that kept me busy a lot more than I want to know :') [use "open image in another window" to read 'em lol] But at least now I know exactly when and why changes in her appearance happen! ... So, about that armor of hers... it's getting somewhat simplified/changed up, but how much do you think I am gonna hate myself after doing its timeline ref?

I humbly offer the in universe Star Wars timeline I made. It’s missing a few of the games and I completed it right before Tales of the Underworld came out, but other than that it’s got most of the main stuff.

"Treat old stuff as the artist you are now, not as the artist you were then. 'Cause I wouldn't have Sex or Robbers or… if I'd have done that. I was 17 when I wrote Sex and I was 18 when I wrote Chocolate and Robbers and then I didn't make a debut album until I was 23. And 18 to 23, you're very different or you see yourself as a very different person at that time so, I'd like grown out of those songs by that point and… but there's something about them, and then my manager just like, convinced… demanded that I put them on the record."

SO SINCE I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER WRITTEN IT DOWN BEFORE (and it gives me a place to start working things backward from)

My basic timeline that I haven't cemented is: 1. Vivian's recruited to SHIELD 2. Vivian goes through SHIELD's Operational Academy, fails to qualify for the Specialist track 3. Vivian's eventually placed with a STRIKE team based out of the southwest 4. Vivian's father has a fall for undetermined reasons and winds up in the hospital, where he contracts MRSA.  Vivian is given leave to visit/care for him in the hospital. 5. Nearly a year later later, her father's MRSA resurfaces.  Vivian is again given leave to attend her father.  This time the infection proves fatal. 6. Vivian falls into a massive depression that nearly costs her her job with SHIELD. 7. The events of 'Thor' happen; Vivian is one of the STRIKE officers assigned to deal with it. 8. The events of ‘Avengers’ happen.  Vivian is assigned to clean-up/rescue work. 9. Due her to actions in New Mexico as well as an otherwise exemplary record, SHIELD reassigns/promotes Vivian to a NYC-based STRIKE team

"Bonfire Night, 2007, I was 18, and I'd just written Robbers. We'd been playing it for hours, and when I left the bedroom, my father was calling, 'MATTY!' in a stern voice. And I'm thinking, when he talks like that, that is not a good sound. I'm in trouble. And he goes, 'That song – that song is going to be a hit.' I was like, 'Cheers,' all awkward, and he's like, 'No, no. Listen to me. That song is going to be the most important song you've ever written.' And he was right. He was right."

"This song, I wrote it right after my one epic teenage tantrum that I ever threw in my whole life and I remember screaming something like, 'But daddy I love him!' and running out and storming into my room and slamming the door and then I sat down on the floor and wrote this song."

Tell me about growing up in Newcastle. I grew up on a cow farm in the middle of [north east England county] Northumberland. My mum and dad were both from Newcastle, and my dad had just finished [acting in British ‘80s comedy drama] Auf Wiedersehen Pet, which was massive—and because it was so political, and all about the subsidisation of industry and Thatcher’s Britain, that you walk round the north east with my dad now and he’s a hero up there. He was knocking around with Thin Lizzy and [Dire Straits’] Mark Knopfler! I wasn’t socially isolated as a kid but I was an only child—so there were a lot of video games, a lot of Michael Jackson videos, a lot of singing and dancing to myself and self-involvement. Did you like being by yourself? I’ve always liked being by myself. I grew to like it less when I was older. And then I convinced myself for a long time that I liked my own company, but I actually just quite liked being on drugs and didn’t really like my own company at all. Did you take drugs by yourself? Oh yeah. Oh yeah! Every pursuit of mine is very indulgent and personal. That sounds like a dark thing to say; my indulgences are always private things. I used to like thinking and writing on drugs. I thought I was William Burroughs, know what I mean? Anyway, when I was ten I moved to Manchester when my mum got a job on [British soap opera] Coronation Street. I spent my whole teenage years there—went to school there, met the guys when I was 14 and we’ve been in the same lineup ever since.

"It comes from a book that I got given when I was like, 17 or something. Somebody had used it as a… there was loads of books that I got given, but somebody had used one book as a diary and written all over it, and they dated it 1st of June, The 1975. And it was just the use of the word "the" that I thought was quite interesting. Thought it was an interesting moniker for something. And then it became the name of our band."
