I know it's not Alan day but what would his opinion be on twizzlers? Idk why but he feels like a licorice kind of guy. I feel like he'd like black licorice more but how would he feel about twizzlers?
no wait you’re onto something.
alan 100% is a twizzlers guy now that i think about it. it’s such a derpy candy, he has to love it. i can imagine bro just walking around, snacking on those fools like theyre his reason to live. bro probably has a tub of them hidden under his bed (because i KNOWWWW markum wouldn’t condone his consumption of candy). i feel like he would lowkey be one of those freaks that geek out to twizzlers.
black twizzlers seems more of an ea thing, tbh. alan feels red coded
Voice/Singer claim: Victoria Monet (smooth, good breath control, same vocal range)
More info under the cut!

• Tov is from a breeder that specializes in smaller pet-humans, assuring buyers that their pets will remain small even fully grown (think like a mini version of some dog breeds).
• Her age is roughly estimated because her breeder did not keep good records.
• Despite being one of the older contestants, Tov looks very young for her age (another attribute of her breeding) and is often mistaken for a teenager.
• Her stature and quiet demeanor leads to others underestimating her, both aliens and humans, which works to her advantage.
• She has a strong voice, but much prefers to listen to music rather than sing.
• While her writing abilities are good, she struggles with musical composition.
• Her guardian, Cassio, treats her like a purse dog, dressing her up and carting her around to events to show off to other aliens. But aside from that, they don’t interact with Tov much. Their relationship is amicably neutral.
• Tov views Cassio more like a caretaker than a parental figure or owner/master.
• As a result of this dynamic, Tov is well cared for, but not very well socialized.
• Had she not attended Anakt Garden, Tov likely would not have learned how to speak human language. Even still, she usually only speaks when spoken to.
• Tov spent much of her time as a child in her own little world, reading and writing.
• She enjoys learning new things and is always listening to those around her.
• She can only speak one human language, but understands bits and pieces of different alien languages, including Cassio’s native language.
• Tov is fascinated by space and the stars. If she didn’t have to compete in Alien Stage, she would study astronomy.
• Tov didn’t wear a collar while in Anakt Garden because her constantly orange collar disturbed the other students.
And yes, she did bite an Anakt Garden staff member who picked her up without permission :p
————————————————————
Guardian Cassio
• Cassio is a younger alien, compared to other Anakt Garden pet owners.
• Tov is their first pet, which they got in part because of the novelty. But they don’t really know what to… do with her (similar to first time parents with a newborn baby).
• Cassio is a fashion designer for both aliens and their pet-humans, with Tov often acting as the model for their pet-human designs.
• They are part of the outfit design team for Alien Stage contestants.
• Cassio views Tov as somewhere between a cute little pet and a living dress up doll.
• They are quite fond of humans, but don’t necessarily see them as equals (like the relationship between humans and animals).
• Cassio’s native language sounds a little like a human language if you hear it in the background. But the more you focus on it, the more un-Earthly it becomes.

tov lore facts
⋆༺𓆩⚔𓆪༻⋆
there's a deleted scene of her and cara giving each other massages during a spa day. as a result, when she went to train fire magic with alan later on and she set herself on fire, she started to sizzle, causing alan to panic and push her into a fountain. she was not pleased.
cara is a better swimmer than morreial because she spent most of her childhood underwater and, as a result, can fill her lungs with water and stop breathing to switch into her amphibian mode
there's a deleted scene of alan that was too dark to share because it was one of the more cruel things he did to his friends, something he doesn't really do otherwise. he induced a panic attack in morreial by triggering his ptsd in order to get him to reveal some damning information about himself whil he (alan) eavesdropped on his argument (morreial) with his parent's (the jervees). at the end of it, he ends up trying to blame the alter ego when the guilt kicks in, only for the other voice to respond with, "what are you talking about? i told you to leave ten minutes ago.”
he learns to swim from morreial and trusts him like a brother
morreial was my token traumatized character before younger me realized that it is NOT okay to have a token traumatized character. as a result, morreial's trauma responses are more typical of a clinical ptsd diagnosis. interestingly enough, he is the only oc in tov to cope with his trauma in a healthy and productive way, as he canonically goes to therapy
the reasons behind morreial’s infantile memory retention (he remembers being a baby vividly) is explicitly explored and explained in draft 3. every draft afterwards removes the explanation, so you never get the confirmed revelation of how he remembers everything (the basis of his trauma tbh)
i changed morreial’s name six times and at a certain point, at 7am before getting ready for school in the winter, i got frustrated and hyphenated all the names i could remember. hence morreial. just smooshed them all together
morreial was the antagonist of draft 2
there is CANONICALLY a rumour that evan is actually morreial's illegitimate child because of how SIMILAR they are
evan’s love language is making people necklaces and jewellery with the stones he mines
my fav evan arcs ranked:
evan in the rings (eoj)
tc arc (cos)
evan in the north (gotn)
evan, slayer of ividor (soc)
evan of the hollow (lotf)
the timelines and eras of soilaila are as follows:
the zaverenian era
the dragon era
the nainorean era
the cairoyas era
the limious era (aka the era of limiouses)
the transitional era (aka the post-incident period)
the singer era
the word ‘el in galka means “of”. due to the morphological changes to the cairoyas tongue and vocal chords in the beginning of the cairoyas era, the pronounciation of soilaila was originally “soi’el aila,” which means “land of the elemental deities”
there are motifs with the numbers 5 and 7 due to both of those numbers being my favourites (7 more than 5); 5 families of the zaverena, the arcane family being the 5th; the five members of the ____ family; the 5 elemental deities; the 5 heavenly deities; the 12 chapters of the arcanic scriptures (7+5); the 7 eras; the 5 nobility statuses; the 5 branches of hellash; the 5 sins; the 5 stages; the 5 breeds, etc…
people in soilaila are called “cairoyas”, which is a supernatural species capable of magic from the families of soilaila
most people have a specialty magic, but never discover it
the average age to discover one’s specialty magic is 12 years old
the year of nain is a milestone age in cairoyas culture, symbolizing the transition into adulthood and magical maturity (since that is the age in which a person niches into a specific magical family)
a child from parents of 2 different families will only inherit the magic of one, but will be capable of both until their year of nain; after their year of nain, whichever family their specialty magic hails from is their innate dominant family
the original year of nain was 14 years old before i aged it up to 18
the cairoyas do not have last names due to the century naming rule
the century naming rule is the law that states no two people can share the same name in soilaila; everyone must have a unique name and cannot reuse a name until the turn of a new century (i.e. there are no other alan’s that have been born within the last century because the name had to have been reserved only for him during his mother’s pregnancy)
the expecting mark is a temporary runic tattoo expecting mothers / pregnant women receive that support prenatal health of the mother and the child, as well as marks the mother’s eligibility to prenatal services (free healthcare, prenatal nutrition, magical enhancements and support, on-call doctors+midwives, and a reservation of two names per biological genders for the century naming rule)
it is against the law for a pregnant woman to not receive an expecting mark if she chooses to keep the child, as it is considered a form of child endangerment
the end of the limious era was marked by hilbert’s betrayal, as he became the first and only limious to ever lose his title
limiouses get a decade life extension for every year of service
hilbert had been a limious for 60 years before he lost his title, earning him 600 years of extra lifespan
the man to train hilbert into a limious was a man by the name of coze limious
when a person becomes branded as a morregal, their blood turns black, they begin internally bleeding and sometimes even vomit their original blood until it is entirely replaced with morregal blood, and they get an M engraved into their forehead through black magic. the entire process is torturously painful and results in the loss of all cairoyas rights and identity. including one’s name. the original name is conjoined with the brand “gal” (i.e. if a man named sebastian ended up being a gal, they would call him sebagal after his branding)
gal is considered a slur in soilaila, while the full word morregal is criminalized to use unless you are von doro or jer’vazir
minor titles of nobility are often destined through suffixes (i.e. ra, ja) whereas larger titles have their own prefixes or statuses (JQ, JE, J, JV, etc.)
in order to join the military ranks, you must abandon all other titles you possess (i.e. a ja that becomes a member of the military would lose their ja status); this is how raheer ends up losing his ja status and why evan is prohibited from enlisting
in lotf, the soilailan militia operates discreetly under jervee amara’s supervision
the el- prefix is used for nobles who married into their titles rather than earning them; for example, if jervee revenold was not a jervee on his own, but married riyzela and became a jervee through matrimony, he would be called el-jervee revenold instead
the only exceptions to the el- status demotion is with El-Hycan and El-Nooz
inen’s are the title for people capable of becoming a limious, whereas inene’s are inen candidates (remember what i said about the process being more thorough now? they learned from their mistakes lmao)
echoe and myuk are inene’s and should be referred to as echoe ne // echoe-ne and myuk-ne // myuk-ne. despite this, evan only ever refers to them as echoe and myuk
the original reason why evan doesn’t like myuk is because in ditm, she steals from him thinking he wouldn’t notice (he does.)
ditm is the acronym for the blueprint of the entire lotf series, which was originally just one book. it stands for “diamond in the mud” and refers to evan’s sword, which has many parallels with him in that version of the story
ditm was basically an epic because it was cos (cos+gotn) & eoj (eoj+mott) combined
soc’s original premise was meant to take place in the present day. for reference, tov takes place in the 1500s for the human calendar, and lotf takes place in the 1600s. soc’s of plot was set to take place in the 2000s.
ditm was named diamond in the mud as a parallel to evan’s xena sword, which holds a significantly less amount of importance in the lotf series. since the xena sword is a brilliant but violent diamond that blinds anyone that looks at it during its peak reflection, is found in mud swamps in the deep caverns of soilaila’s underbellies, tucked and hidden away, are rare, and incredibly powerful and lethal, it was meant to be a parallel to evan, who was a hidden child created in filth and yet horrifically lethal, beautiful, and powerful. a stone of the gods, as some people called it. and the material of yozar’s sceptre
in draft 3 of tov, caramel’s trauma and its relation to her stealing and illiteracy was more explored as you discovered the reason why she hates the schooling system, steals despite not needing to, and how she uses these survival skills as crutches or coping mechanism to deal with her constant feeling of social insecurity
there’s a deleted scene in draft 3 in which it’s revealed why cara still works a laborious job despite being wealthy (thanks to caramel): she was distributing all her earnings to the abandoned orphans of the vanin ring in order to fund their educations and ensure none of them ended up like her. when morreial discovers this fact, not only does he join her, but drafts up and submits a bill proposal to the jervees to set up publically funded orphanages and schoolings for the orphans who lost their families during the incident. the jervees actually turn down this proposition, which results in a fight between morreial and his parents, the very fight that alan takes advantage of to enter morreial’s mind
draft 3 showcased the preferential treatment alan got over everyone in soilaila by the jervees, including favouritism over their own son (morreial). this is a big reason why draft 3 morreial is so snarky and resentful of alan
draft 2 had a scene where alan and morreial went dolphin riding together and ended up racing each other. alan won, and morreial was pissy for the rest of their trip.
due to the campiness of the draft and the presence of “theatrical morreial”, draft 3 has an extremely quotable scene that i still mention randomly // burst out into to this day. it is when they are walking in a desert, morreial starts cosplaying as a god to prove a point to alan, and then proceeds to point to the skies, trying to beckon rain and thunder (because he’s a water dancer), and yells on the top of his lungs, “let us WALK!” but because it’s a desert and there are no clouds, he gets nothing, and he ended up shamefully putting his arm back down and grumbling at alan to get a move on instead.
the warehouse scene™️ in the og og draft is homologous to the ruins scene in the canon draft of sai, except in that draft, alan allows the dragon to try to fly away before shooting it down (kinda more horrifying when you think about it. he watched it fall to make sure it died after giving it false hope of survival)
in draft 2, alan doesn’t kill à black dragon in the ruins, but he does come back to the villa the next day and kills morreial in front of everyone.
draft 2-4 had a confrontation as the pre-climax scene, where markum, alan, caramel, cara, morreial, and hilbert were all sitting in a room trying not to strangle each other. when von doro joins the conversation, everyone fails and proceeds to jump hilbert
in draft 2-4, morreial’s blood was integral to breaking the magic ban. that’s the reason why von doro wants him so bad (to the point of shattering his mind in the process oops)
And how could I go without sending you an STS ask, my dear nav :) How would your ocs react if I punched them? (Also if I kissed James. James after he turns evil, ofc)
okay i’m finally doing this LMAO
hi leah! this is the damned question that you’ve been egging me about. i’m here now.
how would my ocs react if i punched them? i have a lot of ocs so ill only do the tov cast for now:
alan would just stare at you shocked at asked you why you did that
ea would break the bones in your hand, digit by digit. wouldn’t even punch you back, just go straight to bone breaking
hilbert would probably fight you back while monologuing and cackling
morreial… it depends. he’d rather punch you back or let the guard around him take care of it. or take care of it himself in a more private setting
you would not land a punch on cara, and she would laugh at you for it
if you tried to punch caramel, your hand would probably be on fire the moment you entered her bubble of personal space. and if you did land one, she would backhand you back with a flaming hand (this is canon)
von doro is not an option
now, if you kissed james?
everyone would be pulling you aside and asking if he charmed you, if you were okay, and if you needed help, and trying to smuggle you out of the country. not a single person would assume you are mentally stable, unless they didn’t know james personally
i’ve had this screenshot in my photo album for months but i forgot to post about it until my recent lore drop. anyhow, reason why i screenshotted this was because it was ironic how @bunnymermaidwrites unintentionally quoted one of the og titles of tov.
before i settled on its official name, tov was previously called “in its eyes” 👀
Hi! There was one time when you said something about a previous draft where Morreial was stalking Alan? I think? I'd like to hear about that if possible! (Or I'm remembering something very incorrectly, and I apologize XD)
hi bun bun! sorry i've been busy. first exam is on wednesday. wish me luck!
anyhow, you are correct! stalking sounds a bit intense, lmao, but morreial was a spy in the second and third drafts, and he was tasked by the jervees to keep an eye on alan. so he monitored his daily activities, where he went, who he talked to, the places he frequented and why...
lowkey, yeah. bro was a stalker LMAO. but as an occupation.👹
it was actually a big reason why alan and morreial had their argument in the non-mage world. the way that it is canonically now is that morreial gets angry at alan for reading his aura, but in the earlier drafts, alan actually gets mad at morreial first because amara reveals to him that morreial's been keeping tabs on him for months now and bro felt like his privacy was violated (fair enough). that's why, when morreial later gets mad about the aura thing, the reason they both get over it is because alan goes, "okay we both kinda violated each other's privacy. bygones?" and morreial internally goes, "no i like holding grudges" but outwardly goes, "yeah sure whatever".
it was kinda a gag, if i recall correctly, where alan would go ahead to tell morreial something and he would already know BECAUSE he had been stalking him 🤡 or the first time alan got upset, to try and comfort him, morreial ends up reaching into alan's back pocket to grab his emergency blessing coins to use in a prayer. and alan's only response is, "how tf did you know i kept those in there?" and morreial genuinely has no response outside of, "stfu don't make it weird."
HE'S NOT THE ONE MAKING IT WEIRD, SIR???
or the time alan asked morreial if they wanted to walk home together and morreial straight up goes, "but you're not going home. you usually go xxxx at this time." which also makes alan go ?????? why tF DO YOU KNOW THAT??????
yeah, it was genuinely kinda goofy lmao. why is alan surrounded by obsessed yanderes? bro attracts crazy ( @wyked-rebellion i feel like we've talked about this before lol)
