This is about Charm Mentum!! Kinda in the style of a 5 Things fic but its 6 Things bc its six different povs, what I have written in the description: Charm doesn’t say “I love you.” At least, she doesn’t say the literal words.

The idea is about Charm from the pov of the other story thieves kids, where she shows that she cares for them through her actions, even if shes saying stuff like “youre an idiot. Youre a moron. How stupid could you be.” Bc to me she isnt the type of character to say out loud “i love and care about you” and i really wanna focus on how she acts vs what she says, all from outside povs from people who know her

Excerpt (aka all i wrote so far LMAO):

“That was stupid. I told you how stupid that was before you did that.”

Kiel grins, used to Charm’s insults at this point. “But I didn’t die!”

Her human eye just narrows as she drops the medical kit right next to him, her glare intense. “You could’ve.”

“But I didn’t!”

“Oh! We usually post our cosplays for Halloween on our socials, but a cosplay video is a great idea for our next special video! Thanks for the idea, relatable-books! We’ll make sure to credit you when we do it.”

Ray: Boreas by The Oh Hellos

Yeah, I'm one spoon away From setting the ends of my hair on fire If I'm kindling for a little while At least I'd feel of use Maybe then my breath could embody A wildfire starting I'd sweep up the forest floor And my body'd breathe life into the corners Be a darker soil

This song just makes me feel so many things. The singer in this song knows they are just one person, but they want to change the lives of others. They know that their "wildfire" will hurt them, but in the end it will change the world for the greater good. Ray's (literal) wildfire meant he'd sacrifice himself, but he didn't care because he knew it would keep his friends safe.

Dear Wormwood by The Oh Hellos

When I was a child I didn't hear a single word you said The things I was afraid of They were all confined beneath my bed But the years have been long And you have taught me well to hide away The things that I believed in You've taught me to call them all escapes I know who you are now I know who you are I know who you are now There before the threshold I saw a brighter world beyond myself And in my hour of weakness You were there to see my courage fail For the years have been long And you have taught me well to sit and wait Planning without acting Steadily becoming what I hate

This song reminds me a lot of Ray and his battle with both Isabella and his inner demons. The first verse and chorus are about Ray learning about the demons and the farms, and his eventual alliance with Isabella. Those monsters he was afraid of are closer than he thought, and his own mother is on their side. The second verse is about Ray gaining hope as the escape plan starts to come together, then losing his courage after Norman is shipped. He had planned for years, but his close friend was killed because he hadn't acted soon enough.
