Okay, well-

Garvin's definitely conscious. In fact, he is managing to stand already. Admittedly, by relying heavily on the wall. He's also smoking a cigarette at the moment because obviously that's gonna help. But uh. He's very out of it. Technically an alter that doesn't know the polycule is fronting, because there are in fact alters that solely front to deal with sickness. So. Yeah.

-

Ooo, love all of that. Haven't figured out Venia's power(s) out yet either lol

Because I suck at secrets apparently- Bode can turn into a weapon, kind of, possession is also kind of involved.

-

Garvin took the godchild shopping and they both thought the shirt said Frog XD

And because I’m so nice, you also get Bode’s biological parents and the one word name for them.

Bode did used to have wings too. Gee, wonder what happened to them.

-

Sicleramma ‘Shade’ Adelis Harigild. Younger sister of Bode, older sister of Star.

-

Romaric ‘Star’ Oswald Harigild. Younger brother of Bode and Shade.

-

Scry. Father.

-

Pyre. Mother.

Ahhh, I see

Well, Ingall will try to get him (him?) to the couch for sure then, and try to avoid panicking more after realizing the alter doesn't know him, lol

-

Yeahhh-

Should the twins have similar powers, do you think, or just whatever we come up with individually?

Ooo, interesting!

-

Yessss, and then Faust proceeded to rant to Garvin about frogs the entire rest of the trip (he is very much autistic by the way) and then showed his parents with so much excitement that they felt too bad to tell him it said anything other than frog XD

-

Oooo, their designs are all so cool! I love them!

And, uh oh, trauma, lmaoo

Haha- Very fun. Alright then.

I totally forgot for a second that Ingall catches onto the whole system thing quicker than the rest of the polycule lmao

Which actually brings up a good question-

At what point do you think Ingall catches onto it? Just based off the timeline we have so far lol

-

Hmmmm- No clue haha

-

Garvin is 100% invested in the frog infodump. (Cedar especially is a fan, nature is woooo)

He definitely tells the polycule that Faust got a shirt that says frog on it, Revan considers telling him it actually spells forg when he sees the shirt but decides not to. Just because the two of them not knowing what it actually says is kind of hilarious.

-

They're such a great family of kinda cannibals lmao

Glad you like the designs

Yeahhh, him and Nico definitly catch it first-

Meanwhile, Akira's fully oblivious for a long time because 'Garvin's just bein' Garvin-' Lmao

Ingall probably caught on relatively recently though. Like, he's got suspicions but isn't completely sure about anything yet, he probably started suspecting something was up around Polaris Chat, with July and all

Nico probably picked up on something after Reunions (possibly a little later) and Akira-

Who fucking knows when Akira picked up on anything, part of them refusing to question anything relating to trauma is the fact that they're very bad at figuring out why someone's acting different. Like, they can tell when it's happening, they know something is going on, but they don't even bother processing why or how. As long as they can help the person out and keep them from hurting themself, they could give less of a shit.

So they honestly probably didn't figure any of it out until one of the others mentioned it and then they went 'Huh, I guess that does makes sense, who woulda thought-'

-

Great, great, me neither XD

-

I love that so much

Nico is also giggling in the background for sure, and Ingall is just like "Oh, sweetie-" and then proceeds to be mildly entertained but not tell him because it is indeed very funny and also very fucking adorable that both Faust and Garvin bonded over a shirt they failed to read, lol

-

Also, I've come to the conclusion that Faust and Eyphah are besties... According to Eyphah.

According to Faust, he's just tired of Eyphah's shit and puts up with him because he has to (But he secretly loves him and would murder anyone who looks at them wrong, just as with all the other kiddos).

Therefore, I dub them frenemies, haha

-

Here, have a neka of them :)

Love all of that-

No clue when Revan would've picked up on it, but that's moreso because I haven't written much with those two and all...

He's got at least an idea by the time Garvin dyes his hair for the first time though.

Garvin himself has no clue until he's already in therapy- Like. He doesn't have any clue until his therapist brings it up.

Also- What's Ingall's, like, immediate reaction when he opens the bedroom door to go find Garvin and sees what's going on? Just to make sure I write the entrance/intro right haha

-

Love that everyone decides not to tell them due to a combination of endearment and amusement. Garvin would be so upset with himself if someone told him, for all of two seconds before realizing that Faust didn't know either soooo. No being mean to himself because he wouldn't be mean to Faust.

-

Awww

I love that for the two of them.

Venia is just happy that her sibling finally has someone to hang out with.

Hmm

Probably just freezing for a second in pure panic and then rushing over to help Garvin and ask if he's okay and what's wrong

-

I love it so much, after settling in Faust is generally just gonna be so happy to be around actually nice people

Like, he loves people, he's just so very nervous around them at first, which is perfectly understandable all things considered, but the poor child has been living in surival mode for so long when literally the only thing he wanted from the very start was a family :')

-

Yeahhh, Eyphah's going to be giving Faust so many gray hairs, lmao

Faust is so cautious and protective and Eyphah is just completely off the rails 24/7 and also has a great time annoying everyone possible (save Leiani and possibly Bode because no need to make them more anxious). Like, the second Eyphah realizes Faust has faster regeneration they're fully going to try and drag poor Faust into every possible situation because "What do you have to lose?!" and Faust is just like "Um, my LIFE?!??!" XD

Also, I feel like Venia and Leiani will get along great, Leiani will probably end up being somewhat clingy to all her parents and siblings, but from what I've seen, I think Venia and Clio will be prime suspects for seeking out attention, plus Haila when she's around, haha

Very fun, very fun

Garvin doesn't notice him until he speaks/comes over, which is why I'm trying to figure out what Ingall's reaction is lol

-

We love that

Bode is honestly giving me OCD vibes. Specifically the Harm OCD subtype but, well, you know. Oops.

This kid does not trust themself at all. Or others people.

They're also definitely autistic and also definitely have problems with meat at times. You put meat in front of this kid and he's gonna freak out thinking you're trying to make him a cannibal haha-

-

Venia and Leiani would so get along well.

Cass is admittedly way more likely to seek out attention than Venia. Venia actually kinda hates attention, so.

And then Clio won't seek out attention, but she also doesn't hate attention. Yeahhhh- It's for sure Cass (and probably Eyphah?) that end up demanding the most attention, I think.

Realized you meant who Leiani was most likely to seek attention from and, uh, yeah. Venia and Clio are definitely up there. Those two would love to give Leiani attention lmao

-

Also, two things-

1) Language of the Lost by RIP is like, such a Garvin song.

2)

Aries, about/at Devery and Narin’s wedding; “The guests are all here and nothing is ready— We don’t have a ring, the cake says ‘Darlene and Lunn’, and the smoke machine is not working.”

Garvin; “I could crouch by the altar and vape?”

Aries; “You are a stone cold atrocity.”

Got ~1460 words in the short story where Garvin's sick so far and Ingall is only just about to show up haha-

In other news, I managed to binge watch all of Arcane so I'll be rebinge watching it to find good incorrect quotes, probably. In the meantime, here's two.

--

Andi, to Garvin; “You’re just a small man in a little hole the world forgot to bury.”

-

Garvin; “Can you fucking man up and play toys outside with me?”

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, depending on what you celebrate!

Here's a picrew of the Akira and Garvin brain rot duo to celebrate as well.
