i lost my last one so wendy starter call time!! i am thinking about her so lovingly today... <333

[wisheswagered]

Wendy must admit that Demi's profession seems like an interesting job - one with a good story never too far away. The idea of a cheating scandal makes her stomach twist, just for a moment, as she thinks of the wedding she'd attended not too long ago... but it's only a passing discomfort, one she's able to quickly dismiss as she focuses back on what she's here for.

"Hmm... well, I can't pretend I'm not interested." she begins, pausing only slightly before she continues. "Then, what about the story that struck you the most? Something that stayed with you, even when you thought you'd heard it all before."

Wendy's fingers lightly drift along the table's surface, absent-minded as she anticipates Demi's answer. This isn't like Wendy at all, really - when it comes to things outside of her work, it's rare for her to show much interest. But... time in the manor changes everyone, and Wendy is no exception to that rule. Something has drawn her towards Miss Bourbon, and Wendy is a researcher at heart - why wouldn't she investigate the pull?

"Or if not that, then something about yourself, instead. You're a rather curious person, Miss Bourbon... I don't doubt you have some stories of your own, as well."

ALSO I MADE A CLEO MOODBOARD so i may post that in a moment as well.......... we will see! ;ww;

[wisheswagered]

so uhhhhhh as of recently CLEO HAS OFFICIALLY RELEASED and her deductions are now on the wiki too!! and honestly, she is still so fascinating to me............ i honestly still find a lot of the themes explored in her character super relatable, but at the same time I feel like there's still more i need to figure out??

like, her shame at causing problems for her family and implied desire to help, plus her inability to fit in and "be normal" in the adult world especially......... they both still resonate with me a lot, though i think because of that i'll have to be careful not to project too much and like. overstate the importance of those aspects in relation to everything else?? if that makes sense.

but also, i still have a bit of trouble getting inside her head. like... the world in her imagination is clearly so important to her, but as for why she refuses to communicate through words as well, i'm not super clear?? WHICH IS NOT ME SAYING IT'S A PROBLEM or that she's doing anything wrong! i'm just trying to get into her head and figure out why exactly it's so hard for her to "grow up", like from her perspective. especially when she clearly suffers so much from people not understanding her... i'm working on figuring out exactly what she's thinking and her thought process, ig. i want to get my portrayal right, if i can.

also the incident implied in her trailer and last deduction - what was that!? i'm so curious, there are obviously some super spooky/shady implications but i'm not actually sure what exactly it is she did. kidnapping, murder? there were clearly other living people involved (see: her deductions), but why didn't they reveal what happened? I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING.......

tldr i love her a lot as expected but i still have so many unanswered questions!! i'm so sad we have to wait so long until her first character letter, most likely.......... lmk all of your thoughts on her too if you'd like!

[wisheswagered]

wait actually andrew-cleo-wendy trio would be peak i think. like for a fic. i have zero reasoning for this i am just drawn to this particular combination of characters atm............... i may lose interest tomorrow but still!

[wisheswagered]

ngl i am thinking about andrew today suddenly??? i've had some vague on-off interest in him before, but i'm not super lore familiar with him or his personality.

it just struck me that for some reason i've always imagined him as pretty like... awkward and anxious in personality, but thinking about it, i don't know if that's actually correct? he's devoted (to religion and, in his game, to "serving" others as far as i recall), but that's not the same thing. i guess i conflated his desire to be seen as good with passivity, but, hmm. i'm curious about what glimpses we actually do have of his personality now. ANDREW FANS LEND ME YOUR EXPERTISE...............

[wisheswagered]

To Emma Woods, the memories of the time she spent in the orphanage of her childhood are distant - the simple tail-end of a period of her life that holds little relevance to her now. At least... that's how things appear to be. But Lisa Beck could never forget. Whether they're scattered puzzle pieces or clear, uninterrupted moments in her mind, those memories will always be part of who she is - after all, her memories are what formed the person she is today.

And the past, she's long since learned, isn't something that can truly escaped. Even if you try to put it behind you, it'll always come back, just like weeds do in a garden - except no amount of persistence will be enough to keep the past at bay. But it's not always something she resents. There are memories and lessons she's learned, things she knows only because of what she's experienced, and they're valuable, too... besides, there's no point on dwelling on things that can't be changed.

That's what she's always thought. But still... it's hard not to feel dissatisfied. Her new life should've been a fresh start, and yet despite her physical escape from the place that hurt her so much, it often feels like she isn't truly free at all.

Is it the same for Mr. Brand? Emma doesn't know him well except in passing - through stories of bravery and praises whispered by adults that don't really tell her a thing. His past, too, must've made him the person he is now. But what she's not sure about is whether that could ever be enough for them to understand each other, in the end.

"Mr Brand. I'm so sorry for the trouble - but also, thank you for your help! I can't imagine why anyone would say such horrible things..."

GASP composer rework coming at the end of the season??? SUDDENLY I AM WIDE AWAKE AND EXCITED.......!!!

[wisheswagered]

cleo and wendy possible parallels/interactions exploring their shared whimsical/childish & mischievous sides, with wendy's being less obvious under the weight of the responsibility and professionalism she puts on herself, as opposed to cleo who finds herself unable to "grow up" and integrate into normalcy/the adult world, so whom embraces her imagination and abandons all attempts at being seen as grown up.........

and emma and cleo with their seemingly innocent, carefree personalities that hide sadness underneath, although emma is much more self aware and intentional about it - and the more unsettling parts of them hidden underneath.......

i want them!!! THESE ARE MY GIRLSSSSSSSSS and i love them all sm actually!

[wisheswagered]

like this post for a frederick starter as we slowly but surely continue to approach his birthday?? if you'd like!

HOW ARE WE FEELING ABOUT THIS AS A POSSIBLE CLEO BANNER............. c:

[wisheswagered]

now that i'm more awake, i want to talk a little more about cleo and what's drawing me to her, but i am afraid i do not have the brainpower to do so currently.......... i tried making a post that's in my drafts but i can't seem to put in words exactly what i mean!

she's of course fascinating on her own and the type of character i enjoy even without the parts of her that are relatable, but some stuff in her trailer/backstory has really resonated with me on a personal level too. something about the fear of growing up and of the adult world/her seeming inability to do so, maybe?? it's definitely a fear that i experienced a lot growing up myself.

+ the implication that she loved her parents and wanted to help them combined with how her behaviour ended up getting them hurt and she "left quietly" in the night when that happened............. i am extremely emo about it ;~; idk, a lot of this is just impressions i'm getting from her that may turn out to be inaccurate, but still. I AM THINKING ABOUT HER.............
