DAY 11: Smoke

S m o k e.

i used to think that orange being a separate character would be interesting, but all mentions of orange have related to Logan, as if only he could reach him. Which makes me think Logan is the orange side under layers of repression. Remus does highlight that during his introduction and while, he's obviously alluding to Virgil and Patton in relation to the night of intrusive thoughts, maybe...

i just think it'd be so fascinating for Logan to have hid himself away like that, maybe to be taken more seriously. Him and Patton are the only sides to share a color, and his old character (while based on the vine teacher) was far more passionate when discussing with Thomas and the other sides. Maybe it's a corruption thing. Maybe it could have something to do with Pattons' influence overarching and overriding the other sides because of how highly regarded morality and emotion are to Thomas. Maybe the switch from orange to blue occured to please Patton when the mindscape split.

Idk. Idk if his function would change, or even, what it was before. I was thinking passion or obsession, but I really don't know. I love the idea, though, and I'm so attached to it that I think if orange is a separate character, I'll generally be upset. But if we were working up to a new side, wouldn't there be a higher focus on his function rather than the color. No other side introduction has gotten this kind of treatment before, or at least, this level of hype for their introduction.

maybe he'll finally show his 'true colors.'

Sophie:

I like to think the alicorn genetics tempered with her a little bit more. Like the shape of her eyes are just slightly unnatural or that she has joint problems because her body thinks she's supposed to be double jointed. I also think she has natural platinum blonde hair with a silver sheen, and her mom had her dye it constantly in fear of attention. I imagine elves similar to the fey, and while this is more of a keefe thing, I imagine the aura of emotions around her make her look iridescent. She's also a bookworm and she used to stay in the public library, away from the smog, and annotate in a huge journal. (I bet the elven world doesn't believe in fiction and she's highly disappointed) Sophie's unnaturally tall and her hair grows too fast. Stress makes her inflicting more physically viewable. She learned how to play guitar and snuck out to grab one post Canon to play.

Keefe:

(I'm realizing most of these are hair related) keefes a natural brunette, his mom just forced him to dye it his dad's color. After the dye starts fading in neverseen and lodestar, it permanently effected the color, making it lighter. His face looks more like his mom than dad. Keefe used to repeatedly hurt himself with elixirs to go to the healing center in alchemy to the point of intervention. The great gulon incident was to get rid of bullies, rebel against his parents and ruin dame alinas office all in one go. And it didn't even go the way he wanted it to. Keefe is obsessed with human music and playwrights and actively reads their poetry. Keefe loves candles. If he was human, he'd be goth. He sort of already is. Keefe has ocd and often used to explain his intrusive thoughts to anyone who would listen, which is when he started to mask. Keefes hair is more curly than wavy, but the hair dye had an effect of changing his curl pattern. Keefes mind is built to handle death and killing easier and some elves have differing resolve against guilt.

Fitz:

Fitz is bad at levitating because the height he can go to with his mental strength scares him. After the venom, Fitz walks with a limp. I imagine him as being half Indian half white. Lots of people hate the vackers, they are not as well respected as some say. Fitz has hetercromia; one eyes is teal like aldens and the other is so dark blue it's almost black. He has very sensitive skin. Out of everyone, he is the most brainwashed by elven society due to how much he trusts his dad. Fitz has a bad back that Elwin can't fix. (Alden thought he could make Fitz an even better Telepath and hurt him in the process, hence why he sent him away so young to ifnore his guilt.) He has dysgraphia and actively used to get made fun of for it, which was another reason why he was so excited to go to the forbidden cities. At first, Fitz didn't like Sophie, he just thought he had to, but he did fall for her later in books. (I'm such sokeefitz queer platonic trash.) Keefe is the reason he knows he's not entirely straight.

I've been thinking about Hatchetfeild a lot lately, as well as gravity falls and I had the amazing idea of what if you merged them together in some way. Like, tgwdlm, except it started in Gravity Falls and, idk, some towns person was the first infected. Gets crazy from there. Or, post canon of gf, Stan and Ford venture to Hatchetfeild to get a Tickle-Me-Wiggly for Mabel and chaos ensues. I might just write this.
