Oh man July huh,,, or August, since it was the end of the month— I’m really sorry for leaving you hanging Xenon

//Now that you mention it— 😳

Oh man separation anxiety sucks absolute ass, I guess with his fam and Bennet it was because an aspect of him drove them away? The latter more so with him finding someone else // Hester is a nasty can of worms let’s throw away the whole package

Heading back to headcanon territory:

-Clay and Calidi probably affirm their affections a whole ton, with the two of them telling the other that they’re the happiest they could be, and neither wants to find someone else

-Wanted to talk about Runa but honestly she just exists

-Someone should probably get her to change out of her current outfit though. Any ideas?

-Since the Morten Doors plot is getting closer, I should probably plan out Selene’s return a bit more

-backstory gist: descended from one of those mortal-turned deities. That deity is like her great great great great great grandparent, so there’s basically no magic in her

>probably the only trace is that her eyes are a silver color

-She lived in the ‘normal’ part of the modern sect— aka the part where magic is hidden and virtually nonexistent

-Her lineage was documented fairly well. Even information about the blue ambrosia flower was recorded and passed down. However, eventually many people in her family discontinued the practice. It wasn’t like there was any useful magic left in them, so they thought to move on and live like normal people. While Selene was alive, only her mother and grandmother really cared.

-It wasn’t uncommon for her mom to rant at her about how one of them should try to find this blue flower and continue the lineage. Her grandmother wasn’t as vehement about it, but she wanted the family to start caring again

-Selene shared the same sentiment as most of her family. She thought it would have been better if she never knew, so she wouldn’t keep trying to expect something unusual to happen. Despite the chances, she kept hoping that maybe she’d find at least some proof that the magic her family believed in wasn’t just bullshit

-Most people thought her family was involved in some shady cult stuff (or were just plain crazy) because again, no magic. The family didn’t know where the magic parts of the modern sect were either, and nearly all the members in the past three generations had never seen magic

-Selene insisted on going to a school that was fairly far from her home. That way, none of the neighborhood kids would attend and start asking her about ‘cult stuff’. It succeeded somewhat, though it left her isolated since the other kids were more familiar with each other and didn’t bother with her

-She met Katya during middle school. Selene was sitting on a park bench near school and Katya just hopped over and started talking.

-From then on and into high school, the two of them were best friends.

-Katya was friendly and outgoing, but she rarely had time to spend with other people. She told Selene that most of her time was spent playing piano. She loved it, but anything forced cuts enjoyment. The remaining time was usually for homework

- Still, the little free time Katya had, the two would use it to meet up. Even that small sliver was enough for Selene. Eventually, she opened up to Katya about having learned the guitar, and the two began talking about bands: if they could become one, if they could write music, if a piano and a guitar could sound good together, etc.

-They couldn’t actually make a band because of Katya and her parent’s aspirations, but it was fun to imagine. Selene managed to get a keyboard from one of her extended family members and the two of them tried to play simple tunes together, with Selene maybe singing a couple lines. It was also the first time Selene had heard Katya play piano since usually the latter was too burnt out to want to do it normally

-As the two grew older, Katya grew busier with practicing and preparing for her future career. Selene understood, but being left alone again was painful

-Eventually, Katya passed a major assessment with flying colors and her parents freed up her schedule for the first time in months.

-Katya virtually sprinted all the way to Selene to tell her the good news. Her newfound time let her start building bonds with other people too, and with the school year almost over, she was out almost all day

-Selene was overjoyed at first, but the other development left her hurt. It was unreasonable, she knew, but for a long time it had always been that when Katya had time, she always went to her

-Before the two could talk it out, Selene died

-Katya died shortly after, under hidden circumstances

//back to the present,

-Selene’s glowing marks appear as a spiderweb of cracks, with the focal point on her back. One tendril has made its way across her nose

-Both scleras have turned black, though her eyes are still silvery

-Despite the change, she still has no magic
