Fjord's accent did change! It sounded lowkey British to me. He's dropped it before, too, like when he was talking to that guy that took them out on the lake 2(?) episodes ago.

I thought so! I figured he was just putting on an accent to go with the disguise that first time but maybe not...???

Treyco aesthetics: Coffee cups half full of cold coffee, like cups of tea they're set down and forgotten. Late, late nights talking with Jack or Lindsay at a desk covered in papers (and maybe a weapon or two). Nights to himself at the Los Santos sign, looking out over the city lights, or on Mt Chilead looking up at the stars. Dark bags under his eyes, but a smile on his face. Making a new cup of coffee in the morning and the cycle starts again.

yes, yes, and more yes

Quick question since I'm having trouble getting the mental image...they were already described in what they look like, but where on reader's back are the wings? Like you mention people looking up above y/n's head at them so I was thinking they sprout from the shoulder blade area but then Trevor's arm placement around the base of them in the panic attack chapter made me think they were lower like mid back?

Hiya! I hope you were looking for a long, elaborate answer, because that’s what you’re getting! (I appreciate you asking to clarify and I’m sorry if I confused you but all of what’s below was stuff that didn’t make sense to write about/explain in the story).

 I’m putting this under a cut so that it doesn’t go on for ages for people using mobile, but if you are following Petrichor, this may be interesting information to read!

They’re a tiny little bit lower than shoulder blades. Actually, the topmost part of attachment to the body starts somewhere along the length of the shoulder blades (probably around the lower third/not quite middle), but they do go lower than the shoulder blades. The whole point of people being able to see them over reader’s head is that they’re long and kinda skinny (best pointed out when she talked to Jeremy about them). A good visual example of a real-life thing that inspired reader’s particular wings are birdwing butterflies (exmple here, the one on the bottom is closer to the image in my head). So, for instance, while some faeries’ wings might not reach over their head because the forewings are shorter, the forewing is a lot rounder and “fatter” in those cases. A good real-life example would be white common butterflies from animal crossing or eastern tailed blues (example here).

This does not mean that reader’s wings are oversized. They’re just right for her/your body and stature, no matter how you imagine her/your body and stature (I know that I give hints and descriptors now and again, but I tried to make most of them easily ignorable so you can better read it like its...well, you). Instead of the forewings and hindwings looking sort of like circles or eggs, they’re more elongated to look like ovals or really funny-looking cylinders (again, look to birdwings for basic shape!).

Now, if we’re comparing faery wings to butterflies, it should be noted that faery wings are naturally in the “museum position” and the forewings don’t sort of “fall back” over the hindwings like butterfly wings do naturally...but that’s a whole different discussion. 

As for the Trevor’s arm thing in the panic attack chapter, the arm placement comment is a little bit two-fold. 

First, when you look at a birdwing butterfly’s basal (the part of the wing that attaches to the thorax/body), it looks like the fore and hind wings overlap a bunch, making the basal area seem smaller in comparison to like a monarch or something (probably a bad example but that’s the one off the top of my head). Now, it isn’t necessarily smaller at all, in a butterfly’s case, but I wanted to make it so that wings aren’t “attached” to a fae’s entire back (that would be too cumbersome for fiction and writing and shit, plus shirts would be a logistical nightmare), so I took that and ran with it, meaning that I’m trying to imagine/describe the wings as having a rather small basal area (the fact that the wings are long and skinny helps this fact). 

Second, from my own experience (because that’s where Panic Attack Scene came from, when I have a panic attack and my boyfriend drags me onto his lap in much the same way I described Trevor doing it. The key to understanding his arm placement - and I apologize if I wasn’t clear, I was too busy trying to write realistically than giving every detail - is that his elbow is bent in a “v” shape. Reader’s left shoulder is like, pressed right against his chest sort of tucked into the shoulder joint, and then his arm comes down and back up so that his fingertips just barely touch the top of the other shoulder, where the Mark is. Since Trevor is tall and has long arms, I guesstimated that his arm would get extremely close to the basal but not touch. 

Again, I hope this answered your question and solved your problem. I’m very sorry that I confused you, and I will try my best to be better next time. 

Hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Definitely agree with the "putting himself at eye level" ask but the cutest thing about that (going off of the gifs you made) is that while he sort of crouches down for most of the kids while they read the notes, he goes all the way down to kneeling on the floor for little Alexa, and I just ? My heart? What a good big brother❤️

I’m glad I wasn’t only one getting those big brother Trevor vibes. He made an amazing mentor even if it was only for a day or two.

YES I VAGUELY REMEMBER HIM SAYING HE WAS A KNIGHT OR SOMETHING? Because he fucked up the name and called it Mattress and the Pea? I think it was in an off topic

HEYO WE GOT A CLARIFICATION! THANK YOU!
