Moon,
So, me and my sister(2 years younger) were just peacefully eating dinner and she goes, "Now I can tell all my friends I have a 'sped sister'." 2 words I dont like being used. Then I asked her why thats relevent, and she says, "Cause its funny that youre 'sped' and now I can make fun of youre 'panic attacks'." Now, my sister thinks that anxiety, depression, and anything mental are fake words for fake things to make people feel special, so then she started going on about how she's more mature than I am because she doesnt fake "tantrums" to get what she wants. I am really struggling with her.

It's good to remember that there's young people here, so stuff like that can get out of hand. Friends will try to "defend" their friends, which sadly isn't always how they come off.

I'm sure some of the older players do it too, but the ones I know aren't usually doing that. :>

I'm sure some people hop in, for the hell of it, but generally no one refreshes before they go to respond and thus it makes it seem like everyone is after that person.

Happened to me once, then I decided to refresh chat a few times before ever commenting on something. ^^

Well, I wouldn't say that *everyone* turns on them.

People don't refresh chat before they go to say that it's the "wrong chat" or whatever happened. I doubt anyone sees like 5 people making a comment and go "imma do it too".

I managed to finish all the staff descriptions so I just have the rest of it to do, which I'm finishing quicker rather than slower luckily lol
There's just a lot
-
Eh, I wouldn't say Devery, Mergen, or even Garvin hate hospitals. Mergen isn't too big a fan of them but they won't avoid it if they have to go. Devery doesn't care about hospitals. In any capacity. Garvin avoids hospitals but not because he hates them or anything, just because he doesn't see the point. I do agree that group would be the most unwilling group to be anywhere near a rehab hospital though. They wouldn't be caught dead near one.
Well that would depend on how quick Akira tries to get Revan out of there- Or, really, how far down the spiral Garvin already is by the time Revan moves to leave. The further down the spiral, the less likely Garvin is to actively try to get Revan to stay. But if it's something that Akira basically immediately jumps to do, Garvin won't be having it.

I can imagine, lmao

Makes sense

Yeah, Akira doesn't care about hospitals unless they're the one being treated, then they hate them. Mostly just because they hate feeling weak or out of control and, obviously, getting the help you need from a professional is both weak and puts you in a position where you're fully out of control. In Akira's mind anyway. Though if it was anyone else, they'd fight to make sure they got the care they needed, talk about double standards, lol

Fair, and, honestly, how fast Akira jumped to the thought of shooing Revan away would be dependent on several factors anyway, the main one being how panicked/confused/in shock they were about Revan bringing up their own feelings about the streets and Garvin's reaction to it all. Though they may try to use their power to assess things too, so, you know, that could have many outcomes, haha

-

Alright, past, future, and dependent (mostly) angst quotes! Yay!

This includes my AFCS, BB, and some Accidental Villains characters, enjoy! :)

Also, side note, future and dependent quotes are subject to change in wording and shit, lmao

Also, also, this is 100% just the first part. I have so many more quotes, but this is already almost 2000 words, so-

-

(Dependent quote/DQ)

?: "You're insane!"

Sol, half-laughing, half-crying, completely manic: "I know! I know I'm insane! Of course, I'm insane, silly! I see dead people for fucks sake! Yesterday, a five-year-old boy came up to me with a gaping ax wound right down the center of his skull, you know what he said to me?! He looked me right in the eyes and said, "Excuse me, do you know where I can find God? Papa said it was my time to go and see him, can you help me?" And he smiled while he said it! He looked at me and smiled! He was five! Five fucking years old! So, yeah, of course, I'm insane! Who wouldn't be?!"

-

(Future Quote/FQ)

Akira, about Revan, to Nico: "He's an asshole, Nico, I don' understand why you continue to give 'em chances, he's done nothin' but snap at ya since the first time you reached out!"

Nico, smiling slightly: "I don't think he's so bad. He's just scared, and I don't think we have any room to judge there."

Akira, mildly frustrated: "He's gonna hurt you, Niki, ya know he is!"

Nico, shrugging: "Of course, but that's the price of caring, right?"

-

(Past Quote/PQ)

Evin: "Come on, kid, I got you, just hold on."

Letif, slightly delusional with pain and exhaustion: "Just... jus' leave me... I do- I don't have an... anything left to... to live for anyway.."

Evin, carrying Letif, not slowing down: "Well then, we'll just have to give you something to live for again, won't we?"

Letif, barely holding on to consciousness: "B-but-"

Evin: "Save your breath, kiddo. I'm not leaving you behind, and don't even try to argue with me, nothing you say can make me believe you deserve to die."

-

(DQ)

Akira, frustrated and slightly panicky, probably about the polycule, and probably talking to Everett: "No, no, no, you don' get it! 'M the protector, it's my job, it's who I am! I take care of everyone, I make sure no one gets hurt, I make sure there's a wall between them an' everyone who wants to hurt 'em. It's what I do, the only thing 'm good at! If- If I can't protect them, if I can't protect you, then... then who will even want me anymore? I- I can't fail, not now, not again..."

-

(PQ, TW! Implications of suicidal thoughts and a suicide attempt! This quote is slightly altered, just in case.)

Karma, staring at the floor and fidgeting with their sleeves as they start talking: "I... I was thinking of doing... something last night, you know... Got up to the roof and everything..."

Kostas, tensing slightly: "Karma-"

Karma, continuing quickly, shaking a little: "I didn't! Obviously, I mean, I'm still here, right? Um... I thought... I thought I could, but, I... Um... I couldn't, and, I thought you... I thought you should know why..."

Kostas: *Watching silently and reaching out to carefully take Karma's hand*

Karma, taking in a shaky breath: "I... I thought of you... I thought of you and I couldn't... I couldn't do it. I just... I thought you should know that... that... you're my reason. For... for being alive, I mean. And I don't... I don't mean that to, like, pressure you or anything, I just... I... I thought you deserved to know..."

Kostas, smiling slightly: "Well, I am more than happy to be that for you, Karma. It's hardly a burden, after all."

Kostas, after a moment of silence, squeezing Karma's hand gently and looking away: "Perhaps I should mention that you have always been my reason too, Karma. Since Kyrie's death, it has been you."

-

(DQ)

Briar, laughing through tears, leaning heavily on Nico who's holding them through a breakdown: "Ha! I don' even know what 'm doin' anymore, Nico. 'S stupid, really, I mean, I tol' myself ages ago that I'd stop havin' stupid dreams, that I'd jus' shut up an' listen like I was suppose' to, ya know? An' yet, I let myself hope, fer fucks sake! I let myself think that maybe, somehow, everythin' woul' be okay. I could jus' live, ya know? Be who I wanted and not who I was told to be, an' now look what's happened! I let myself hope, let myself get caught up in fantasy an' everythin' fell apart, an' worse! I wan't even the only one who got hurt! For fucks sake, I wish it'd all go back to how it was because at least I knew what to expect from Viar... Now? Now I don' know anythin', nothin' at all, and that... that fuckin' sucks!"

-

(DQ)

Briar, to Nico, almost angry: "How do you do it, Nico? How the fuck do you still care about anyone, huh? I mean, you've been hurt over and over and over again and you're seriously gonna sit here and tell me that you give a damn about people still? Why?! Why don't you at the very least hate those who have hurt you? It doesn't make any fucking sense!"

Nico, shrugging: "I mean, what would hating anyone do? I just don't find it worth it, I guess."

-

(FQ. Umm, a bittersweet one? 'Cause you know how badly this'll end)

Sol, to Simon, Mergen, and Irfam: "Thanks for being my new family! I missed having a family!"

-

Short fluffy intermission because we need more fluff :)

(FQ. Little peek into Ingall and Sol's future and very short-lived friendship)

Sol: "Have you tried baking before? I like making pastries! We should bake together, it'll be fun!"

Ingall, smiling slightly: "Sure, Sol, let's do that."

-

(FQ. Just Ingall being a simp for Garvin during the early parts of their "friendship" :) )

Ingall, nervously, holding a plate of freshly made cookies: "Um, hi, um... Um, I made you something, I just... I thought you might like them... Um, here. Sorry, bye!"

*And Garvin is left in the doorway holding a plate of cookies as Ingall runs away, lol*

-

(DQ. And more Ingall and Garvin because I'm obsessed and they're adorable)

Ingall, totally stemming excitedly, pointing to the night sky, he's totally been ranting for ages already: "... And there's Draco, I love that one! Oh, uh, sorry, was I ranting again?"

Gravin, who's just been watching and listening happily the whole time: "Not at all, Polaris, what were ya sayin'?"

-

(DQ. Aries and Briar fluffff)

Briar, who's been doing Aries' hair and ranting to him for about an hour now: "There! All done! You look stunning, as always! I must say though, roses look good on you. Hm, must be a sign!"

-

(PQ. Just Letif and his little found family, specifically him and Kareem being the sweetest father-son duo)

Kareem, smiling and ruffling Letif's hair: "I'm proud of ya, Tuft, you really are an amazing kid. And I'm damn glad you're a part of this family."

Letif, looking up with tears in his eyes: "Really? You mean it?"

Kareem, smile softening: "'Course I mean it. You're one of us now, no getting outta it."

-

(DQ. Nico being Nico)

Nico, running into the room with arms full of beaded, handmade bracelets: "Guys! I made everyone friendship bracelets! Look, they've got all your nicknames on them!"

-

Now back to your regularly scheduled angsty/bittersweet quotes :D

(DQ/FQ, I haven't decided yet)

Alecia, grabbing Atlas' wrist to keep him from walking away: “Don't you dare turn your back on me, Atlas! I've done everything for you, and this is how you repay me?! This is not how you treat family!”

Atlas, not even turning around, years already starting to spill: “You stopped treating me like family years ago, Alecia, I'm just returning the favor.”

-

(FQ)

Skylar, breaking down: “I- I don't know what's wrong with me, it's like… like I'm broken and I don't even understand how or why…”

Kage, smiling: “Well, I don't think you're broken at all! In fact, I think you're the most perfect person that I've ever met, and that's saying something 'cause I've met myself!”

-

(DQ)

H: ‘I'm sorry, I don't quite understand why you're so angry, I thought you would be happy to see me again.”

Letif, scoffing: “Seriously? You don't have the faintest idea why I might be so upset? Then you're even crueler than I thought.”

-

(DQ)

Kostas: "I do love you, Karma."

Karma, clenching their fists, eyes filled with angry tears: "No you don't. You can't."

-

(DQ)

Sol, staring off into space, smiling faintly: "Well, I might as well be dead. I'm already halfway there anyway, have been all my life."

-

(DQ)

Alecia, angrily: "Well, if you're scared of them, just tell me! I'll beat their asses!"

Atlas, quietly: "They're not the ones I'm afraid of, Ale."

That's all fair. Garvin doesn't go to hospitals enough and his stays are never very long anyways. So he doesn't really have an opinion. I mean, the only time he's found in a hospital is when he's unconscious and near death. As soon as he's awake, he's being rushed out, basically.
That's all very fair. There's a good chance that Garvin will get pretty far into the spiral before Akira tries to get Revan out then, so at least he may not be trying to follow him, haha- That would definitely not end well.

Oooo, love all of those! I am nowhere near done with any of them. But I did get done with the orphanage stuff sooo- Here it is! Finally!

Arrested Staff

Ordered from who worked there longest/had the most seniority/whatever the damn ranking system is because I’m too tired to really figure that out but I know it exists in some way.

*~*~*~*

Léan Ceallach, 63, Alive. Female. Started working at 25 and arrested/stopped working at 50. Sentenced to 20 years, still has 7 years left.

Léan was the one actually in charge of the orphanage after the previous one retired. So, uh. I’m sure you can imagine how bad she is. She made the rules, she let her staff abuse kids, she abused kids, she ran the place. She was also the one that kicked our boy out.

(Léan means ‘Torch, Corposant, Moon’ and Ceallach means ‘Bright-Headed, War, Strife, Church’)

-

Emyr Watkins, 61, Alive. Male. Started working at 24 and arrested/stopped working at 48. Sentenced to 20 years, still had 7 years left.

Emyr was incredibly strict. Whether that be with schedules, rules, or just about anything else. Even the way he carried out his abuse- Which he was very adamant about calling punishments or reprimanding. Either way, his actions weren’t as volatile as some of the other staff. Though, given how exact he was with his rules and schedules, it all could’ve easily just been him looking for any and every excuse he could find.

(Emyr means ‘King, Lord’ and Watkins means ‘Power, Authority, Army’)

-

Moyra Byrne, 61, Alive. Female. Started working at 25 and arrested/stopped working at 48. Sentenced to 19 years, still has 6 years left.

Moyra was probably the closest staff member to Léan. They got along great. Absolute terrible besties. She made sure the staff followed the rules. She helped put some of the rules in place. She was incredibly sadistic and incredibly manipulative. Anyone who knew what she was actually like behind closed doors, was afraid of her. Very few people tended to know though, and even less knew the full extent.

(Moyra means ‘Fate, Destiny’ and Byrne means ‘Raven’)

-

Rhianon Stephens, 60, Alive. Female.,Started working at 26 and arrested/stopped working at 47. Sentenced to 19 years, still has 6 years left.

Rhianon was another staff member that got away with a lot more than what one might think. She wasn’t someone to cross, even some of the staff tried not to. She took a very specific type of pleasure in what she did.

(Rhianon means ‘Great, Queen’ and Stephens means ‘Crown, Wreath, That Which Surrounds’)

-

Awstin Griffith, 58, Alive. Male. Started working at 25 and arrested/stopped working at 45. Sentenced to 25 years, still has 12 years left.

Okay, so, not going to lie- Awstin was one of the worst. More will be gone over in The Overview but... Every child at the orphanage feared him. Even some of the staff feared him. He was incredibly sadistic, to the point that it wasn’t even something that he tried to hide.

(Awstin means ‘Exalted, Venerable, To Increase’ and Griffith means ‘Lord, Prince, Strong’)

-

Aneurin Powell, 55, Alive. Male. Started working at 23 and arrested/stopped working at 42. Sentenced to 25 years, still has 12 years left.

Aneurin actually knew Awstin before either of them started working at the orphanage and it was because of Awstin that Aneurin decided to apply. Which, if you haven’t already guessed, he’s just as bad as his friend is. He was much better at hiding how terrible he was, but they were both just about on the same level.

(Aneurin means ‘Honour, Esteem, Dignity’ and Powell means ‘Eminent, Prominent, Well-Seen’)

-

Rhys Pritchard, 57, Alive. Male. Started working at 27 and arrested/stopped working at 44. Sentenced to 17 years, still has 4 years left.

While Rhys didn’t take as much pleasure in directly abusing the kids there as some others did, he was the one helping to handle letting non-staff come to abuse the kids. So while it was rare for him to do anything himself, at least most of the time, he made sure that the kids wouldn’t ‘get off lightly’, basically.

(Rhys means ‘Ardour, Enthusiasm’ and Pritchard means ‘Ruler, King, Hard, Firm, Brave, Hardy’)

-

Elva Murray, 53, Alive. Female. Started working at 25 and arrested/stopped working at 40. Sentenced to 13 years and being released in a few months.

Elva sucked. She showed up at the orphanage and basically immediately became someone you did not want to see if you were a kid there. Especially since you couldn’t complain around her since she preached ‘being grateful’ to an insane degree.

(Elva means ‘World, Light, White, Rock’ and Murray means ‘Lord, Master’)

-

Caerwyn Parry, 52, Alive. Male. Started working at 26 and arrested/stopped working at 39. Sentenced to 15 years, still has 2 years left.

Compared to most of the others, Caerwyn wasn’t as strict or harsh. If he wasn’t being watched by other staff members, he probably wouldn’t have been as bad as he was. Still though, he tended to exaggerate his abuse if he was being watched, a sort of compensation for not being as strict.

(Caerwyn means ‘Fortress, White, Blessed’ and Parry means ‘Home, Ruler, Enclosure’)

-

Ronit Shea, 44, Alive. Female. Started working at 23 and arrested/stopped working at 31. Sentenced to 3 years, released at 34. Currently working as a social worker.

Surprise! There’s a singular kind of good person here. She’s definitely better than the others. She’s also the one that eventually reported the abuse and got them all arrested. As such, her sentence was mostly due to not reporting the abuse sooner.

(Ronit means ‘Grace, Prosperity’ and Shea means ‘Fine, Good, Favorable, Learned’)

*~*~*~*

The Overview

When the staff, and others that I won’t be going over, got arrested, it was because Ronit, who had been working there for eight years by then, reported all of them. Some were less thrilled about being arrested quietly, which is when Ronit ended up getting the scar shown in the neka above. Anyways. The arrest and resulting trial would eventually end up making headlines. So, let’s get into everything.

-

To start off, let’s go over a simple fact. The abuse was not the same for each child. Every child ended up experiencing abuse at some point there, but there were also some variables involved that affected the type and extent of the abuse. Such as the behavior of the children. Which isn’t to say that the abuse wouldn’t have happened if the behavior of the child had been different, but the staff members used rules (often excessive or hard to follow) in order to justify the abuse should they have the need to. These rules, as mentioned, were not rules that most children would have an easy time following. And even the few children that did somehow manage to follow them still faced abuse to a certain extent. These rules were also rules that neurodivergent children were likely to have an even harder time following. Another important thing to mention is that while the staff had an agreed upon list of rules, each one also had their own rule list as well. And each one had different responses to each rule, whether an agreed upon one or a personal one, being broken. Some were less, for lack of a better word, forgiving than others. Some were less predictable or precise with what would happen than others. Each of them had a certain type or combination of abuse that they used more than others.

-

Now then, with that settled, let’s go over what all was happening here. Which... Was a lot. Oh boy. The lore.

-

Starting off with the best one because I think that might be a good idea- We have Ronit Shea. As mentioned, she only worked there for eight years before reporting the abuse. Why did she wait eight years? Uhm. For a few reasons. For one, she was trying to gather evidence. For two, some of the staff members are kind of terrifying. For three, at the start of her career there, she wasn’t really even able to see the extent the abuse went to. Anyways though, she only really did anything to the kids when other staff members were around and she always tried to do as little as possible. She thought it was better than risk being fired and not being able to help in the long run.

-

Nothing else here is good. It’s time. For the lore. I apologize in advance.

-

There was a certain... Order that the staff followed when it came to ‘punishment’. As in, usually it was just whoever was closest or had seen the rules being broken that was expected to correct it. Unless the child in question was one that broke the rules more often than others, at which point it was expected for the child to be brought to either Léan, Awstin, Aneurin, Moyra, or Rhys, depending on just how often the child broke the rules. Usually, the child was brought to Awstin or Aneurin rather than the other three. But that was more so because those two always seemed to be nearby. As in, yeah, they kept track of which children were more likely to get in trouble.

-

Which, speaking of Awstin and Aneurin... As previously mentioned, the youngest children that anyone on the staff admitted to sexually abusing were three years old. Which staff members said that? You guessed it, Awstin and Aneurin. Did they lie when they said it? Yes. Three was not the youngest. There were younger victims. Three was just the youngest they admitted to. Were they the only ones on the staff doing that? No. Definitely not. But they were the only ones on the staff that admitted to having victims that were that young. Were they the only ones on the staff with victims that young and/or younger? Also no. Again, just the only ones to admit it.

-

Anyways. What else was going on in the orphanage? A lot.

-

For starters, I mean, obviously the verbal and emotional abuse. Definitely the most common and definitely what every kid there faced. Even the ones that somehow managed to follow each and every rule. The rules in and of themselves were pretty damn abusive too anyways. But either way, each child there had probably heard at one point that no one was ever going to want them. Or that only ‘well behaved’ children get families. Or that the ‘punishments’ (abuse) was to help or fix them. Or just flat out insults. Or plenty of other things along those lines.

-

It also wasn’t uncommon for food to be withheld, for example. Whether that be a singular meal being withheld or not being fed for days or even longer than that. Frankly, it was actually probably one of the most common things happening there. It was an easy thing for the staff to do. On the other end though, there were also the staff members that forced children to eat things that they either knew the child was allergic to, wasn’t capable of eating, couldn’t stand eating, or just things that children really shouldn’t be eating.

-

There was also just the overall neglect. The majority of the staff didn’t care about the children there, and unless they were abusing one of the kids, they didn’t pay much attention to them at all. They did the bare minimum that they had to in order to keep people from finding out what they were doing. And even that wasn’t paid too much attention. By the time they were arrested and the orphanage was shut down, there were plenty of stains that the staff had neglected even trying to clean. Stains of plenty of different kinds on walls, sheets, floors, clothes, and probably other places I’m forgetting too.

-

Another thing that wasn’t too uncommon was the staff tying down children. Whether that means tying them down on and/or to a bed, chair, pipe, or just about anything else. The amount of time varied, it could be for mere minutes, it could be hours, it could be for days. Every so often, it could even be for weeks. Whether the child was told how long it would be or not varied too. No matter how much time was left though, if any of the staff was doing something with the child, especially Awstin or Aneurin, then it’d at least have to wait until after the staff member was done. Even if that meant the child was tied down for longer than they’d been told they would be. The only staff member that didn’t follow that was Emyr, who would be untying the child exactly when he said he would be whether or not anything else was happening.

-

The orphanage staff also had the ‘punishment’ of locking children up into small and/or dark places. Like closets, cabinets, and other such spaces. Again, how long the child was left in there varied. Sometimes it was minutes, sometimes it was hours, sometimes it was days, and in a few cases, it could even be weeks. And depending on where they were locked up exactly, it could have even been a month.

-

There was also, of course, the outright physical abuse going on. Which, there were so many different kinds of that going on that I’m honestly not even sure how to go over all of it. The physical abuse could be very mild or very severe or somewhere in between and it all varied on a ton of different factors. It was bad.

-

Along with all I’ve mentioned so far, the orphanage also worked as a sort of trafficking. Kind of. Mostly in the sense that they allowed people to come to the orphanage to do nothing but abuse the children there. Usually sexually, though it wasn’t the only thing the people that came did. Rhys, Rhianon, and Moyra were the two that mostly ran it.

-

I think it’s important to mention that the children weren’t particularly close either. They didn’t look out for one another as much as you’d think they would. The whole ‘snitches get stitches’ thing kind of skipped out on the majority of them. Really, if a staff member wasn’t there to see a rule be broken, a child usually ended up telling them anyway. The staff was less likely to hurt a child that told them about a different child. It even caused some lying among the children, where one of them would tell the staff that a different kid did something they didn’t and any amount of the kid in question trying to tell them that they didn’t do it was met with more abuse. Because obviously that child must be the one lying and all.

-

Anyways, uh. This probably isn’t everything. I mean, Léan also burnt the birth certificates of different children and threw them out of the orphanage. But this is everything I can think of to put here right now. So... Yeah.

--

I would like to mention. If you're upset about how short their sentences are... I did research and unfortunately these sentences are probably accurate.

Enjoy all the information and uh-

I'll get quotes out eventually lol

I'll get some quotes up sometime today, probably, haha-
-
Yeahhh, the orphanage was horrid. Part of why Garvin prefers to say he left instead of admitting he was kicked out.
Definitely fucked up system.
-
Haha- Yeah, definitely fair.
I probably forgot some stuff about the orphanage too just because of how much there is.

Speaking of, I think I'm gonna post another Letif song today where you'll get quite a bit of angst hints, so that's fun, lol
And I still gotta finish the sheets for BB

Yeahh, I feel that, lmao, I seem to be stuck on Letif, Nico, and Akira recently

Though, honestly, Akira is most with their relationship with Garvin because the two street rats are so adorable together, lol

Excited for the quotes though!!

-

Okay, a Letif song, yay!

-

Song: Black Friday from the musical Black Friday by StarKid

Characters:

Letif, Lilith, and Evin.

Context:

This takes place right before Evin finds Letif, so literally the worst point in Letif's life (so far). And, well, Letif's literally dying, so that's fun. Enjoy! :)

TWs: Mentions of religious trauma, homophobia, and transphobia

---

Letif, lying on the forest floor, bleeding and only partially conscious, having watched everyone walk away and leave him to die: "Is this what I lived for? To die in the forest while staring into hell?"

Letif, simply giving up: "There's something that's beautiful, being awake for my funeral. You can close the casket now!"

Letif, referring to what he was expected to be and how he failed at being "pure" and "perfect": "The plans for my father's hopeless seed, born into moral poverty! Still, I wasn't an angel heaven sent to break through my cliché boundaries."

Letif, mostly just accepting that he's going to die before he even really got the chance to live and be who he really is, referring to himself by the pronouns assigned to him, bitter: "'Cause Friday is black for me, the dreamer has dreamed her dream. When Friday is black, there's no turning back! 'Cause Friday is black for me..."

Letif, questioning if he could have done anything to prevent his early death: "Is there some lesson to learn, should I never have wanted? I never even got started! Or were the decks always just this stacked?"

Letif, shifting his mindet to try to rationalize death and make up excuses to why dying is a good thing: "I mean, it's really a godsend, clear my plans for the weekend! But there's nothing to subtract!"


Letif, almost angry now, referring to how his former friends and family looked at him before leaving: "I don't want your half-baked sympathy, when did it save those in need?! Still, I thought that angels did exist, but now I hope they plan to end it quick!"

Letif, half-angry, getting more and more exhausted: "'Cause Friday is black for me. Only my ashes will see the sea. When Friday is black, there's no turning back! 'Cause Friday is black for me!"

Letif, finally beginning to cry, recalling his brother-sister relationship with Lilith, the one person he expected to stand by him even after H left: "At first I didn't know what she was to me, at first I didn't know why I cared, or why I wanted to hold her and rock her to sleep... Did I need her more than she needed me?"

Letif, slightly more angry, too tired to do much anymore: "Maybe I'm wrong. She can go on her own, 'cause I'm leaving!"

Letif, repeating for the last time, starting to drift off: "'Cause Friday is black for me, only my ashes will see the sea... When Friday is black... there's no turning back, 'cause Friday is black-"

Evin, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, rushing to Letif's side and immediately analyzing his wounds: "You're not dead yet!"

The street rats are adorable, though I'm realizing just how many problems the two would end up having over time. Like, Garvin would hate Akira trying to protect him. Like the only person who at least partly understands what life was like growing up is trying to protect him? Do they not think he can survive on his own? Do they not think he can defend himself? He can! If he didn't want these people in his life then he definitely wouldn't need them!
-
The song was amazing.
Very sad and very great.
-
Here are some quotes now!
--

All of these are formatted for AFCS. Uhm. Yeah. That’s all. Enjoy!

-

(FQ, July Arc)

Devery, after having opened the front door of his apartment to find Akira there; “Fuck off, Akira. This isn’t a good time.”

-

(PQ)

Devery, on that fateful July day he found Garvin bleeding and overdosed in an alley; “Shit- Hey, kid.. You alright..?”

-

(FQ, probably)

Irfam, staring at his discovery; “That... Can’t be right...”

Pewter, sitting on the desk, head tilted; “What did you find? What is it?”

-

(PQ)

Rudy, aka the first major guy to take Garvin in, because I love to hint at angst; “If you want to keep fighting me then I’ll only make it worse for you!”

-

(PQ)

Fintan, during what leads up to Yari’s death scene; “Are you seriously goin’ to take his side over mine, Viik? I fuckin’ swear- He’s lyin’, I wouldn’t- I wouldn’t do that shit! If anyone’s doin’ that ‘round here, it’s probably him!”

-

(FQ at the end of the Andi Arc)

Andi, probably kind of smug at the last bit, oh boy the scene I have planned for the group to find Garvin and Briar in; “I’ll be right back... Don’t move.”

-

(PQ)

Lysander, to Mergen, Kalei, and Helge; “I’m not- I’m not lying. I swear, I’m not lying. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you all sooner but- I’m not lying.”

(PQ, and oh, this also counts as a PQ for BB, fun)

Awstin, because I love to hint at angst; “I’ll stop when you learn how to behave. How about that?”

-

(DQ, end of Andi Arc/beginning of Recovery Arc)

Revan, having gotten a call from Nico and probably for the first time using their first name; Nico. Slow down. What’s going on?”

-

(FQ)

Andi, smiling and using Briar’s presence to his full advantage; “At least I know who to blame if you disappear this time, Garvin... Now isn’t that right, Briar?”

-

(DQ, during the Run Clio Run arc if it happens)

Garvin, referring to the sketchy gang/mafia; “I... Might know some people ‘round ‘ere that could help us out.”

-

(PQ)

(DQ)

Maeve Campbell, aka the bio mother of Garvin, if she ends up being called by Revan looking for answers due to the DNA test Garvin might end up taking one day and all; “Mmmh... Can’t say I recall the exact day, actually. Whole ordeal’s still the biggest fucking mistake of my life, I tell you that. Really, I should’ve just gotten rid of it while I had the chance, before I’d told anyone. If it weren’t for our families being damn Catholics, I swear... You know I had to get married that fucking June too?”

-

(FQ/DQ, haven't quite decided yet)

Andi, being a total bitch; “Oh, please... Don’t tell me that you actually believe that. No one’s coming. No one’s looking. Why would anyone look for you, Garvin? Even if they noticed. And no one has.”

-

(FQ, during the Run Clio Run Arc)

Garvin, to Akira but definitely not looking at them; “Look, as much as I... ‘Quila. I can’t keep all o’ us alive an’ safe. An’ I don’t... I don’t wanna hafta ask ya ta do this but... Shit, look. If you can keep ‘em safe, I can keep all o’ us alive, yeah?”

-

(PQ)

Jinx, plucking Garvin’s first ever cigarette out of his hands;He shouldn’t be smokin’. The fuck ya thinkin’, givin’ ‘im that, Spade?”

-

(PQ)

Giles, to Kody the night before they ended up leaving him behind; “Look, I hate ta say it... But, Koko, ya gotta realize that what you been doin’ ain’t good wit us. Right? I mean... Pickin’ fights wit all o’ us jus’ ain’t somethin’ we need ‘round ‘ere.”

-

(DQ, during the Andi Arc if it does happen)

Andi, to Briar, annoyed and smug; “Listen here, Briar. If anyone is looking, they’re not looking for Garvin. I can promise that. So maybe stop lying to him, it’s not nice. You know?”

-

(DQ)

Devery, acting as the consent/boundaries buffer until the polycule realizes just how terrible at it Garvin is; “Hey. I’d back off if I were you, pretty sure he’s taken.”

-

(PQ, and oh, this also counts as a PQ for BB, fun)

Garvin, after ‘winning a street fight’, aka after having beaten up a full grown adult in self defense, slightly swaying/stumbling; “Yeah? How- How’s that fo’ a fuckin’ rat?! Huh? Fuck- Fuckin’ bitch.. Ta-Take that.. Ha..”

-

(PQ, and oh, this also counts as a PQ for BB, fun)

Caerwyn, because I love to hint at angst; “Fine! You still don’t want to listen? Five days. Keep going and I’ll make it seven.”

-

(FQ, during the Andi Arc)

Garvin, to Briar, eyes closed and barely keeping up a smile for Briar’s sake; “‘M sure yer gon’ be jus’ fine, Bri-Bri.. Some’s prob’ly lookin’ fo’ ya right now...”

-

(DQ, end of Andi Arc/beginning of Recovery Arc)

???; “Mr. Rowland? Where are you off to?”

Revan, having just gotten off the phone with Nico and leaving his job to go help, but not willing to say exactly that; “I’m... Taking a break. I’ll be back.”

-

(PQ, and oh, this also counts as a PQ for BB, fun)

-

(DQ, end of Andi Arc/beginning of Recovery Arc)

Revan, upon seeing the states Garvin and Briar are in after having just arrived at the hospital to help; “..What did you say happened again?”

-

(PQ, and oh, this also counts as a PQ for BB, fun)

Fintan, to Garvin, right before he ever started grooming Garvin; “Look bud, ‘m jus’ tryin’ ta help ya out. The more money ya steal, the better off yer gonna be. That makes sense, don’t it?”

-

(DQ, during July Arc)

Devery, after being accused of not caring about the whole, you know, July Arc going on; “Oh, that’s fuckin’ rich. You think this is easy for me, don’t you? I’m over here watchin’ my best friend to make sure he doesn’t end up killin’ himself and you think that’s easy for me.”

-

(DQ/FQ, haven’t quite decided yet, especially on just how far it could go, like, it could go even further than this- Honestly, it probably would go even further than this)

Garvin, to Revan during an argument, going down one of those spirals I’ve mentioned; “Oh, ya think yer life is so fuckin’ hard, don’tcha!? That’s great, fuckin’ tell me- Ya ever been beat ta ‘alf an inch o’ death an’ left there ta fuckin’ rot?! Ya ever felt yer insides fuckin’ twis’ an’ eat away at ‘emselves ‘cause yer that damn close ta starvin’ ta death?! No? Wha- Wha’ ‘bout past that? When the hunger’s fuckin’ dull an’ ya can jus’ ‘bout tell yerself that yer fine? Not that either? How- How’s this then? Ya ever been gagged an’ fucked in a damn public stall, wit the person in the next one knockin’ an’ tellin’ ya- tellin’ ya ta keep it down?! Lemme guess- That shit neva happen ta ya either? No? How ‘bout this then? Ya ever- Ever been fucked on a- on a park bench, gettin’ ta watch people walk on past? Lookin’ some o’ ‘em in the fuckin’ eyes an’ still watchin’ ‘em jus’ pick up their damn pace?! N-No? That- That didn’t happen ta ya either? Wha’ ‘bout- Wha’ ‘bout wakin’ up ta someone tryin’ ta- tryna get yer pants down in an alley? Ya- Ya kick ‘em ‘fore they kn- ‘fore they knew ya were awake ta- ta get away, s-scramblin’ ta get up, only fer ‘em ta still manage ta grab yer damn ankle an-an’ drag ya back, hold ya d-down, an’ get ta fuck ya?! Wh-Wha’s that? No? Not that- That either? Not- Not somethin’ ya ever- Ya neva dealt wit that?”

-

Also, here is an incorrect quote for your soul since you probably need some sort of fluff after all of that.

Nico; “L is for the way you look at me.”

Ingall; “O is for the only ones I see.”

Akira; “V is for very, very extraordinary.”

Garvin; “Egg.”

-

(DQ, definitely after the whole polycule had gotten together, I think I forgot to mention just how big of a soft spot Garvin has for animals)

Garvin, walking in slowly, looking simultaneously proud and disappointed with himself; “So, uh. How’d y'all feel ‘bout some new roommates?”

Ingall, looking up from a book, glancing at the others before looking at Garvin; “...What?”

Garvin, slowly reaching into his coat and pulling out multiple kittens; “I found ‘em all sad in a box... They made a noise at me...”

Revan, staring, almost unable to comprehend exactly what he’s seeing; “What?”

Garvin, continuously looking back and forth between the kittens and the polycule; “..One of ‘ems hurt.”

-

(DQ, can you tell I’m sorry for all the angst? Here’s another polycule one)

Garvin, walking into the empty living room, the TV playing the first Star Trek movie, the sound of someone baking in the kitchen in the background; “Wha- Hey, uh- Who’s watchin’ this?”

Nico, from the kitchen; “Oh, I saw we had it and turned it on for some background noise! Is that alright?”

Garvin, already getting somewhat distracted by it, looking towards the kitchen as he stands behind the couch; “Uh... Yeah. Yeah, that’s fine... Was jus’ wonderin’ an’ all... Uh... Huh..”

Nico, peeking in from the kitchen to check on him; “If you want to change it to watch something else then you can. I really only put it on so I wouldn’t be baking in silence.”

Garvin, just getting more distracted by the second; “Huh? Oh, no, no. It’s- This is fine. I wasn’t... Uh. Ya don’t mind if I- It’s alright if I watch this, right?”

Nico, slightly confused but definitely happy that Garvin’s interested; “Uh, yeah! Of course you can. Yeah. If you need me to like, start it over for you, let me know?”

Garvin, already completely focused on Star Trek; “Uh-huh... Yeah, okay.”

Oh, for sure. And, overall, them being so similar is amazing but also bound to cause problems, lol
-
I absolutely loved the quotes!! So sad and amazing!
Let me tell you, Nico would squeal as soon as he saw those kittens. And Akira would just smirk and nod along while Ingall quietly fangirls after getting over the confusion
Honestly, I think between Nico and Garvin, the polycupe will probably have a good handful of pets before either Ingall or Revan denies getting more for practical reasons, lmao
Also, I love Garvin being intranced with Star Trek, it's so cute :')
