Sleeping headcanons 2.0

>Micah always sleeps on his stomach, unless there’s a Damian with him, and then he snuggles up close; I can imagine Damian’s a furnace and Micah needs warmth

>Clay used to sleep sitting up, but now he’s making an effort not to, as Calidi’s usually with him and he doesn’t want to make Cali uncomfortable. He reaches for people in his sleep if he’s not already right next to someone

>Hanoi, however, has not kicked the sit-up-sleep habit, he’ll sometimes fall asleep standing up and wake up after he falls

>Cyrus angrily hugs pillows and curls into a little ball.

>Korin sleeps in armchairs or on couches, tucked in a corner to keep her upright

>Bex will take the entire bed, steal all the blankets, and might even kick you out of it

More about Haidyn and Kae

>Both are 16, Haidyn is older by two weeks and that bothers Kae to no end

>Haidyn’s parents are around, Kae’s mother is not and her dad travels forengard to look for new types of medicinal plants and animals, so she lives with Haidyn

>Both are shapeshifters, Haidyn is a Kite and Kae is an arctic tern, and they both shift often enough that they have feathers behind their ears and on their arms and shoulders.

>They’ve been close since they were kids, Kae running around wreaking havoc and Haidyn making sure she doesn’t get in too much trouble

Potion Polymath

—half-alchemist, half sorcerer, as a whole a chemistry nerd

—the position of potion polymath has existed for a while, and it’s passed from mentor to apprentice

—the current one—Cybil—has been doing her job for almost twenty years, and has had her apprentice—Devin—for eight

—she makes everything from magical remedies for diseases to natural poisons to herbal tea mixes

—She’s distantly related to Cyrus, and Cyrus is the only one of the ennead that she’s met, even though she’s made potions and elixirs for several of them

—Restoring elixir for Micah, hormone blocker/hrt simulator for Clay, sleep tonics for Midori, and many of the medicines Hester ordered for general use in the Keep

—Devin has met more of them [he was Cybil’s runner] and he’s in general scared of all of them except for Cyrus and Korin

—I’ve realised I don’t have a single character with glasses and I’ve betrayed my kind

—Clay and/or Oliver with glasses? thoughts?

—for Clay he hasn’t realised that he can’t see perfectly yet and has just compensated to be able to read all the fuzzy words

—Clay with his nose pressed to the page of a book:  yeah I can see just fine

—I’ve been plotting out a fairytale au storyline for kicks and half my plot points are either “Damian gets drunk” or “Damian causes a problem”

>there’s also “then, bandits!”

>the document itself is called “plot outline owo” you already know this is gonna be a mess

>oh look Chan gets introduced in the infirmary by way of Damian accidentally giving Micah a concussion and carrying him there

>and my notes say MJ’s line is “Did you break him?” i-

—i’m kind of sad I had to cut this part of a scene but in the first draft of chapter 26 i had Clay wildly flailing his arms at a chair until Micah sits in it

>also in that version Calidi replies to “how are you” by saying “inexplicably anxious” and relatable?

>for those of you wondering how I’ve felt during my hiatus that’s it right there

>plus hopelessly tired but that’s normal and irrelevant, let’s see what else interesting is in that cut

>I just wrote it like half an hour ago but it’s still brand new to my brain

>right it’s at the very bottom of the outdoc I guess I’m reviewing my entire cutscene document then, this should be fun

>ah yes here’s the first draft of an Important  scene with Micah and Damian (no it’s not what you think)

>oh clay’s here too

>(ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK)

>”Good thing I have a straw” Damian 2k18ish

>he also has random ketchup packets in his pocket what the fuck

>ok new scene, the second draft of that Important scene

>so no one gets the wrong idea [it is Micah and Damian after all] it’s where Micah has a major nightmare and ends up telling Damian about what happened to him

>in the first three or four versions of the scene he’s actually not going to tell Damian but in later ones he does

>aw I’m sad Micah’s upset in this cut and Damian’s like “it’s ok just cry” :(

>was this supposed to be the original chapter thirteen?? I know it was Micah’s pov and I wrote it before I decided to get in Damian’s head and yeeted away four chapters

>idk I’m just rambling and this is only the second cut oh boy

>the doc keeps glitching back to farther up the page and I keep seeing “you mean ketchup?” uh

>”I guess being away from the world for four years does something to your perceptions of aging” —Clay 2k18ish bein woke

>ah yes the straw is back in this cut too

>”why the fuck do you have a straw?” me too Micah

>you’ve seen Micah drooling on Damian chapter 20, get ready for Micah almost throwing up on Damian cutscene 2

>w h y d i d i w r i t e t h i s

>scrolling down to the bottom because this is all making me cringe

>ah yes “they don’t disturb us when we’re moving a body” not worrying at all

Cyrus, age 13: can I shave my head

Hester: sure

Korin: NO

~

Cyrus, age 21:  I’m shaving my head again

Korin:

Korin: i have no power to stop you

[side note:  those tiny hairs you get from shaving your head are really soft when you run your hands over them]

[catch Korin not being able to stop touching Cyrus’s head and Cyrus is like “this was the plan all along”]

—In Smash Bros for the switch, there’s this dude from Fire Emblem [actually there’s a lot of dudes from fire emblem] and I don’t know much about him except that he’s maybe part dragon? and his name is Corrin

>also he doesn’t wear shoes, evidently dragons don’t need shoes

>why is this important? idk maybe bc Corrin sounds like Korin and I found that interesting

>plus Corrin is Fabulous and I love him

>there’s also a female version of Corrin? Kinda like how Robin has a male and a female version, I think because they were protagonists in the FE games and you could pick whether you wanted to play as a guy or a girl version

>all the FE people are so well designed, Lucina is fierce and beautiful and I love her

>vaguely relevant but someone asked me if I were to be in a video game, which one would I choose and who would I be as if the answer isn’t obviously Link from LoZ BotW

>think about it:  I could run through the forests setting everything on fire and scream and no one would care

>also I’d be in shape, skilled at things, and pass, which would be nice

>if you really wanna break the suspense of a scene, insert the words “rice salesperson” and watch it all fall apart

—@myself forgetting how to draw Micah’s hair:  you friccin moron you

My brain cannot stop generating characters so here’s an idea for two:

—Atlas and Leviathan Mayhem—a pair of sibling spies unconnected to any assassin group but occasionally hired by them to spy on other groups

—Atlas is a mess, and he claims his one redeeming quality is that he’s cute

—he’s flamboyant to the point of annoyance

—he’s also younger by a little over a year

—Leviathan goes by Levi

—she’s quiet most of the time and she will not speak to anyone when she’s pissed

—some people think she’s mute but she just doesn’t think she has anything important to contribute

—I think that in the KGA’s final year [or even final six months], all of the ennead [minus Midori] slept in Micah’s room

—it was safer and more comfortable even if you were sleeping on the floor,

—that was usually Bex, because they kick things in their sleep

—Micah didn’t really mind having his room invaded because those invaders would wake him up if he was having a nightmare

—also anyone coming in to attack or do anything to anyone would have to not wake up seven other assassins, which, considering how Hester taught them to sleep, is nearly impossible

—the GGaD fic part two doc is the king of lag, I can type two sentences before it decides to finish the first

—imean that could be from the fact that it’s

3k from being forty thousand words and in print mode about 120? pages long

—I really Hope parts three through twelve end up being shorter because at this rate I’ll never finish it

—to all the readers: thank you for putting up with the incredible length. I swear there’s a plot in there somewhere

—“Rescue Me” by OneRepublic is incredibly relevant for [spoiler alert] what Damicah is going through right now in the fic

—the song is basically “we keep fighting but still really really care for each other, so if I said I needed help getting through something, would you help?” and yeah!! that’s it that’s the plot for the rest of part two!!
