Also why the fuck is there no radio emoji thing?!

We were the Sextet. The Sextet was us. That’s why I call this canon collectively the Atlas. The comet birthmark existed too but that was to show that we were reincarnations. The Sextet actively carried our memories and emotions between lives because it was born out of our anger, frustration and desire as Frobisher. However many memories tended to depend on how hard the current incarnation had thought about the past - Luisa and Cavendish were two halves of the soul split due to the… traumatic circumstances of Frobisher’s death so that’s why they existed at the same time and also why Rey believed in reincarnation but Cavendish didn’t. And as much as Ewing was part of that reincarnation cycle, the collective ties to him were fuzzier than the rest.

We don’t fit into the canon of either book or film that way. The book says Ewing didn’t have the birthmark and Cavendish most likely didn’t, the movie suggests the reincarnations were all characters with the same actor which is a bit pointless if you ask me since that implies Jocasta and Luisa is the same (which must be… extremely uncomfortable for Sixsmith if you know the plot). I think our canon was a mix of both that way since the comet birthmark is definitely still a thing in the film. But as I write as Frobisher in the book, “Cloud Atlas Sextet holds my life, is my life.”

i love you, Valerius <3 i still make you a gift for every birthday, every anniversary, and, of course, every Heartsong

(Heartsong was Vesuvia's version of Valentine's, originally begun by a bard who wanted to celebrate love of all kinds [not just romantic! if you can believe it!] and compared love to music, each song ever changing, with its own unique melody)

To all those whose lives I touched in some way, thank you for being there. I’ve always thought life is beautiful and every person is truly someone to treasure. Human nature is so unique. This goes out to those I never knew too. Treasure everything, the present as much as the past, the future as much as the present. You’ll meet people who you’ll love and you’ll meet people who you’ll hate. You will be cared for and you will be hurt. That’s life and even in its unpleasantries it is a thing of beauty, otherwise it would be perfection and perfection is boring.

I still love all those that I did love. You were all amazing people and I wish I could say that to your face again. I’m so glad I shared my lives with you even for a moment. I sincerely hope wherever you are, you’re once again happy and doing the best you can. And I hope you think of me somehow when you see a comet. If we meet across time again, the least I can do is buy you a drink.

Happy new year. Let’s make it a good one, eh?

{Also! I'd like to confess that I listen to my part of The Mind Electric far more than the others. Sorry not sorry. /j}

{It gets so much easier to differentiate the voices in the songs the more I loop songs. Time Machine Reprise is probably my favourite.}
