WAAAAHHHHH

I need this shit injected into my veins

Genuinely all songs sound ethereal at some point in the song and magical

Like your floating in n a sea??

Literally like your "alone at the edge of a universe humming a tune" (first lyric of the last song) /silly

Some how I can imagine that almost exactly when listening to it

It's like the entire album is an analogy, along with the songs- it feels like every song has analogies inside of it

BY THE WAY

VERY IMPORTANT

IF YOU LISTEN TO THE ALBUM HAWAII: PART II, PLEASE- IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF HEADPHONES, USE THEM. LISTEN EITH TTHEM. IT CHANGES EVERYTHING

............ I don't have it out of my system yet

Sobs

Why

How

Why am I suddenly so hyperfixated on this single album. FROM FUCKING DECEMBER OF 2012

SOBS

AND FROM 2012????

HOW DID THEY- HOW- WHY- I-

Why did this album suddenly just hit me like a truck so suddenly 😭

Please I want to drag anyone into the depths of this hyperfixation

Ending this I shall share some of my favorites lyrics from across the songs <3 /platonic /silly

"Ooh, live the dream, with a time machine- you've been waiting forever. You'll have time enough to spend some time alone" - Time Machine

"Past is passed and rather than regret the old, I can live it back the other way" - Time Machine (again)

"Marble gods, tango circles in space, 'round the already dead, hung by staircase uppp.." - White Ball

"Today is renewed, is reborn... Each day, I am new.... I am yours...." - White Ball (again) (I am obsessed with this song)

"I see the praised rays.... You see me smileee..." - Black Rainbows (the background voices of this song sing in Hawaiian :O)

"Alone... At the edge of a universe, humming a tune... For merely dreaming we were snow...." - Dream Sweet in Sea Major (the last song)

"A siren sounds, like the goddess who promises endless apologies of paradise.... And only she canale it sound right.... So things are different tonight.." - Dream Sweet in Sea Major (again)

"Believe me darling, the stars were made for fallllling... Like melting obelisks as tall as another realm." - Dream Sweet in Sea Major (again again)

Idk what to talk about except the fact the sound is phenomenal /silly. It sucks a bit cuz It's hard for me to hear the lyrics with the sound/music without visible lyrics :( for now hopefully at least

Left is Niko, he/him cis male, masc terms, 23

Right is Selkie, It/they, no gender but masc leaning, mixture of all gendered terms, 21 in human years

Selkie and Niko are in a universe that I made :]

It's set in a.. the best way I can explain it is a modern version of medieval times. Like the clothing and buildings and such are medieval-ish themed, but stuff now, like Lgbtq stuff is normal there, and speech is normal- or- not normal, but not how medieval people talked lolz

I'm still working on this part, but Niko somehow found Selkie, and Selkie kinda just stuck to Niko's side /silly

When I first made Selkie I had the idea that Selkie was banished from its siren pack, but I'm not sure how to incorporate that into lore, or even why they'd be banished, but you can just be aware of that piece of info :3

Fun fact: in this universe, sirens have no gender! Why? Idinno /silly

WAIT

AS I SAID THAT I JUST GOT AN IDEA FOR LORE

so instead of mythology-accurate sirens having tails, what if...... Sirens in this universe have human legs, but they have fins and stuff instead, plus strong swimming muscles 🤔 because if you look at Selkie's design, it has blue fin-frill thing behind them, plus in that design it has little fins on their head

Hmm's. Something to think about later to brainstorm on, giggles.

GASP

MORE WORLD BUILDING/CHARACTER LORE I FORGOT ABOUT, GIGGLES

Okay okay so

Niko comes from a long line of siren hunters, his family being the most famous siren hunters. Siren hunting is a high-risk but high-reward way of making money. High-risk because sirens can very easily kill someone, with sharp claw-nails.

Niko obviously has a lot resting on his shoulders as a son of a famous family like his, even though he isn't even the oldest kid in his family.

That's right!

He has an older sister, Mara (cis female, she/her, 26), but I'm also thinking of giving him more siblings, either another older sibling or a younger one.

I don't have a Mara's Roblox avatar on my phone, but here's her GL2 design :] (ignore the second picture- it's so that it isn't as big)

Slight warning for angst for Mara's lore

Mara had a fiance, (who I don't have much lore made for, so much as a name, but she used to have a very kind and gentle personality), who was also a siren hunter in training (under Mara). Although, a siren had k#lled her by clawing her when she caught it.

I have a problem giving OCs trauma- ANyWAy- after that, Mara became much more reserved with obvious trauma and survivor guilt, and protective of Niko. (And younger siblings if I decide that is a part)

I wonder how Mara would react if... Let's say.... Niko became friends with a siren..... 🤔 *Evil giggling*

SILLY FACT/LORE TIME!!! (Pretty much stuff that I wanna share but don't know where to put)

Don't tell anyone (/silly), but...... Niko likes to secretly collect rocks...... :3

Selkie is a minor/mild kleptomaniac, and so, one day it was sneaking around and accidentally found Niko's rock collection

Selkie can sleep basically anywhere (it baffles Niko on many occasions)

Selkie, being a siren that can't hide shit about themselves, obviously, gets a lot of attention which it LOVES. Though Niko does not.... :'3 that attention can also come from many other siren hunters. Imagine getting into a fight with a 5'8 (which is considered SMALL, since sirens are evolved to be large in height and muscle/and or strength to swim better) siren, and the son of the most prestigious family of siren hunters pulls up to the fight /silly. Because of the reputation, the fights can end in either just talking, or Niko having to punch someone.

Selkie has bad eyesight giggles. (I honestly just had the idea that it could be because siren's eyes evolved to be better under deep-sea pressure- count that as canon now, mhm) - Niko learned that very quickly and early on meeting Selkie, as it had horrible depth perception, running into Niko and other things a lot.

Despite being the son of a large line of siren hunters, Niko is actually easily nervous and anxious, hating every time he's forced by his parents to attend a party at least once a month.

Honestly, going back to the idea that Selkie was banished by its pack, a reason that happened could be because they're so much smaller than the average siren 🤔 and like...... It's seen as "weird" to be smaller than that? Maybe like how animals might leave their young if they think they won't survive (???? No idea if that's right, I just think I heard something like that). So maybe that could be a good reason.

Sirens have a different language than humans, so Selkie isn't even its real name /silly. Selkie was just a name that Niko gave them and it likes it also.

If you're wondering "so does that Selkie had no idea on the English language? At first?" Not exactly- Selkie had a decent knowledge on English for a siren, but it does have some silly different names for words and concepts /silly. (I honestly just came up with that on the spot and said "I like that", so let's pretend I listed some of said words /silly).

I think I threw enough lore and rambles at y'all for now /silly. And I think if I don't post it, I'll keep reading it over and feel like it's never finished and could add more to it

If you read ALL of these ramblings and lore, thank you so much for wanting to learn more about my sillies, and props to you for reading this much!!! :D

I'll probably make more posts of these sillies now that I have this made :3 I don't really like making posts about OCs that nobody knows about
