i haven't really talked about Nova so

--he's been around as long as everything else has existed

--some say he created the world, he claims he only found it and decided to associate himself with it

--he got lonely after a while, floating around as a bunch of energy, so he first appeared to the universe as an aurora

--he looked down and saw all the humanlike creatures so he decided to mold a form after them as well

--but he got kinda confused, because he didn't like everything about humans and decided to make modifications, and then those modifications got less and less humanlike until he looked like an aurora-coloured ghost

--people were scared of him, so he retreated back into the aether for a few more years

--flash forward to when xenon (human Xenon, before he was made a god) was born

--around the same time, Nova created Delphi, once again modifying the human foirm a bunch until it's less humanlike

--originally, her eyes were like his, almost like reflections of nebulas, but when he gave her prophecy powers, that "corrupted" her (he says, she thinks otherwise) and gave her those lime green smoking eyes

--her first prophetic speaking is something about Xenon, so Nova turns back into energy to watch him as he grows up and does stuff

--oh man, xenon's backstory sghasfkghfj; have I talked about this?

~ I’ll get back to that

—anyhow when Xenon becomes a god, Nova’s like “hey, the name’s Nova, I’m gonna be your mentor!”

—this is a decade after Xenon becomes a god

—[headcanon that immortals lose their sense of time after a while (two or three human lifetimes) so while newer immortals know the passage of a year, older ones blink and it’s been a century]

—so, Xenon’s been hard at work, building his workshop and his droids and he’s made the freedom blade and he met Saiyegh and Nova’s like “oh no, this guy’s busy, if he managed all that in only ten years, imagine what he could do in a millennium”

—so he appears to Xenon and is like “heyyyy you’re doing great here but al this power you’re showing off? Not good. Attracts bad things to you. And this sword you made? Also not good. Too powerful for mortals or forget gods to get their hands in. Why don’t we hide it?? Where no one can find it?? And then you go hide and keep to yourself so no one related to you ever exists.”

—Xenon’s confused and doesn’t realise he can say “no fuck off” to Nova and nova would just be like “ok but don’t say I didn’t warn you”

—So he goes along with it, creates the Freedom Trials and hides the sword, retreats into his lab, and loses his sense of time

—the next human he sees is Melody, thousands of years later, when she literally falls into his life

—Nova dissipates back into the aether soon after Xenon hides in his lab but not before he creates the Novaspawn

—when he does disappear, he leaves Delphi behind and to her own devices

—this causes her to resent her father a little and try to find a way to get him to come back and exist in her area of the universe

—Clay’s hands are always kinda scratchy because he’s got calluses from playing guitar in his fingertips and from using a bow on his palms [Hester made him practise until he could use both hands equally, so he switches between the two a lot]

—He was self-conscious about holding Calidi’s hand(s) until he realised that Calidi didn’t care how beat up his hands were as long as he could hold them

—But sometimes his hands crack and bleed and Calidi aggressively gives him lotion because “that looks like it hurts every time you touch anything”

Just a couple Claylidi headcanons

—Clay teaching Calidi guitar

—Clay teaching Calidi sign language and then the two of them having conversations across the room

~Several people think it’s either dirty or something secret but really it’s more like “we’re out of mac and cheese and I’m sad”

—Going to movie theatres in the modern sect

~sometimes the movie isn’t all that good so one of them falls asleep and the other one watches he sleeping one instead of the movie bc that’s much better

—Calidi gets a cold or the flu and Clay makes him soup and tea and reads to him

~alternatively Clay’s the one with the cold and Calidi’s like “finally I get to take care of YOU for once”

—dates to go feed ducks in a modern sect park Clay used to go to

—Calidi can’t sleep so Clay sings and plays him a lullaby

Juxtaposed with that, here are some Damicah ones:

—Going out to a bar to get drunk and they end up so shitfaced that they can’t get home

~so they stay in an inn or a tavern instead

~or they call Clay to come pick them up and Clay’s like *sigh* again? but picks them up anyway because someone’s gotta keep an eye on them or they’re gonna go fight windmills or something equally stupid

—Damian showing Micah his motorcycle

~”it’s like a sexy mechanical horse” -Damian, not knowing Micah’s scared of horses

—Micah sitting in a chair reading and Damian walks over and sits in his lap bc he’s an attention hog

~“I’ll be quiet I promise”

~Micah’s like “sure dude, whatever” and keeps reading while he still can, knowing that in about five minutes Damian’s gonna ask a shit ton of questions about the book just to talk to Micah

—Expanding on Chan’s dog headcanon

~The dog is Micah’s new Bff and never leaves his side

~Micah sits on the couch, the dog hops up  next to him, and Damian’s like “ok but where am I going to sit”

~whenever Micah comes home after he’s left the dog there he gets knocked over by a very excited pupper

>though that’s not hard to do, Micah’s a whole feather

~the dog also sleeps in their room, on a giant fluffy dog bed Micah bought

~whenever Micah has nightmares and Damian wakes him up, they let the dog on their bed because furry friends help people calm down

~the dog licks Micah’s face until he’s done crying or can breathe again

~one time he has a nightmare that Damian doesn’t notice

~Micah’s disoriented, and on his way back from the bathroom he gets super confused and ends up sitting by the dog bed to try and figure out what the heck is going on

~the dog intuitively knows that something’s up and licks his hand until Micah notices

~Micah pets the dog bc he figures she just wants attention and eventually falls asleep

~Damian wakes up sometime later and sees Micah leaning on the wall and snoring, and the dog’s staring at him and wagging her tail and Damian’s like “what did I miss last night”

~the only problem with the dog in their room is when they want to do Stuff, so those nights they have Clay dogsit

~Clay will always dogsit [and he’s a self-proclaimed dog-uncle] but he teases them about the reason they need a sitter

~he also takes a gazillion pictures of the dog and sends all of them to Micah

~so Micah checks his phone the next morning and has 729 unread messages from Clay

—If Micah is a bird shapeshifter, would his bones be hollow? If so I miscalculated his weight in chapter 13 and I should recalculate and fix that

—I’m really tempted to add in my old ML ocs to ggad as shapeshifters but I have so many characters already

—how many is too many characters

—can I add 4 more

—maybe 7....

—Nova/Tawny Riju/Koi, and Tyrael/Red would be Freedom Fighters

—and Katana/Blade’s just a free spirit who fights with monsters and makes deals with devils in her spare time

—I never introduced Kieran/Hummer but he’d probably be with the Tree People

—Then there’s Icarus/Monobird and Hotaru/Flasher who I have put with the freedom fighters but idk if that fits yet so I might move them
