First time use of Pok, Gorthalax, Lydia, and Sandra Lynn

Parent Polycule

Sandra Lynn/Hallariel

Hallariel/Sklonda (I’m a sucker for Hallariel liking women. So what)

Sandra Lynn/Sklonda/Hallariel

Sandra Lynn and Jawbone attempting to make Sklonda their third [Text post/art suggested by @ecopunkhoneybee ]

Masterpost:

This can include Eber and Lilith, although not in terms of eventually being in the polycule strictly speaking

well! i can confidently say that camila's first impression of lilith is going to be "i'm gonna kill this woman." on account of vee having already described her to camila At Length.

conversely, camila would think eber is ADORABLE.

in theory i want to properly fic camila and raine meeting, as well as possibly camila and eda... fortunately for them, neither raine nor darius was involved in the basilisk stuff, so camila is much more inclined to goodwill toward them. ESPECIALLY because they're Literally The Only Two Adults in the castle that luz and hunter have cited as trustworthy.

i suspect her initial impressions are going to be that raine is very sweet and that darius is a drama queen. which are both true.

when it comes to raine and darius's impression of HER, i guess it depends how forthright she is. there's a pretty good chance that she leads with "we have to help those kids," in which case both of them would be like. ah. excellent. An Ally.

Top favs right now are the biggest webs I’ve kiiiiinda made up

We’ve got qpr/poly Bad Kids [Every single Bad Kid in a poly, and every single one of their individual partners like Ayda or Zelda or Mary Ann are a part of it on the outside of the Bad Kids’ individual web. Also some of the others (like Ragh) can join in as part of the relationship when they want or leave/take a break whenever they’re done]

And Parent Polycule [Every one of the Bad Kid’s parents are in their mostly canonical relationships but just everyone’s together now and the Bad Kids become a found family turned real family. It’s even funnier if, like canon, the Thistlesprings aren’t actually a part of the web but they do join in on the meet ups.]

Not in the same world, cause that would form some weird family complications, but these two are by far my favorite cause anything can go.

For less ‘broad’ poly ships.. gotta say Fabian/Riz/Adaine and Sklonda/Hallariel/Sandra Lynn are amazing. I explained the Fabian/Riz/Adaine situation in your Adaine ask, but I don’t know if I’ve ranted fully about Sklonda/Hallariel/Sandra Lynn yet

It’s really all about Sklonda I think. She finally gets a friend in Sandra Lynn who loves the exact same things as her (like they are so similar. Holding their nose bridge as they deal with the Bad Kids, constantly exhausted and definitely just needing a drink night with each other yapping about their lives and having margaritas) but ooooohh god I could see an enemies to lovers pipeline between Hallariel and Sklonda that Sandra Lynn just has to sit by and watch as the first solid relationship she’s had in a while goes to hell like before, except it’s not even her fault this time.

But god I’ve been rotating Sklonda and Hallariel interacting SO much. It’s someone who had to claw their way up through the ranks and still having to deal with loss and despair and the cruelty of capitalism coming face to face with the woman who raised the kid her son is close with.. and this woman is a mess and doesn’t care. She drinks till she’s lost, she splurges on anything, she views life as so fleeting because she lives through nearly all of the lifetimes of everyone she’s ever met.

I imagine that Sklonda hates her. Hates her guts, hates her carelessness to both her son and everyone else, hates her privilege in this world where she’s had to fight so hard..

And I think Hallariel is both into it (Fabian is a freak and he got it from somewhere) and avoidant of her. I think Hallariel views Sklonda as someone else too fleeting in her life to care and it takes a while before Sklonda knocks some sense into her (alongside Sandra Lynn) and they are all a bunch of grown women who learn to accept that they’re both gay and are allowed to love someone knew even when they’ve got kids

Also comedy potential of nobody telling Luz about it cause they’re keeping it low key until one day when Eda and Raine say they’re gonna be busy with stuff Luz decides to go home and visit her mom and just sees Raine wearing one of Camila’s big shirts making tea in her moms kitchen and patiently waits for Raine to cast a silencing spell so she can freak like “WHEN YOU GUYS SAID YOU HAD STUFF TO DO I DIDNT THINK YOU MEANT MY MOM???!?!????”
