#violet (div)

Cess: this an irrational allegation, we’re strictly friends. I am no “parent,” I do not own or control Seft. And she is CERTAINLY not my pet. Sohr: uh huh. What do bees make? Cess: honey? Seft: yes Cess? Sohr: :) so that’s a petname.

Knell: I don’t know WHAT your plan is, but it’s irritating. Why did you give me this kid!? We don’t even know each other, let alone like. Sohr: annnd what sound do bees make? Knell: an annoying buzzing noise Capri: WHATCHU WANT CHICKEN NUGGET

….

Sohr: Knell is having a baby. Capri: That's gre- Sohr, slamming adoption papers on the table: It's you, sign here. Capri: WHAT THE HELL

….

Seft, accidentally tricking Flicker into handing Cess her soul signature via slumber party: would you like to stay for dinner :) Cess: would you like to stay forever?

…

Vi: WHY. why did you give Seft a KNIFE?! Cess: I’m sorry. They said they felt unsafe. Vi: Now I feel unsafe! Cess: I’m sorry. Cess: … would you like a knife?

….

Díi: If I die, my funeral is going to be the biggest party ever and you’re all invited Vi: If? Great, the only party I’ve ever been invited to and they might not even die. Flicker: OHH will there be cake? Díi: mmhm! Just don’t ask what’s in it

…

Capri: hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Can we go to a haunted house? Cessation: What’s wrong with the one we live in? Capri: Wh-what? Cessation: Goodnight!

…

Sohr teaching Seft to drive: ok so if you see Díi and Ham in the middle of the road, what do you hit? Seft: o-oh! I know the answer! Díi! I could never hit Ham Sohr: the breaks, sweetheart…

Later, Sohr: ok I’ll make the choices less clear. Flicker, you’re driving now. No- no don’t teleport into the drivers seat this is imagining. Flicker: okay! Sohr: imagine Díi and Violet are crossing the road. What car part do you hit? Flicker 1: tap breaks while slamming the steering wheel sideways. That way you can get both of them!

… Flicker: hey do you have any cobb- woah woah woah is that a MURDER WALL?? Díi frantically covering up her sus wall of names and Xs: haha me with a murder wall would be crazy I don’t know what- Flicker: it totally is! Omg I always wanted to do one of those, let me get the red string! Díi: eyes dilating at the word string

…

Via: do you ever want to take a nap for 3-4 months Díi: darling that’s a COMA Via: sounds refreshing. I could really use a nice coma right now

….

SammmymmmaS: you’re loosing a lot of blood, what’s your type!? Flare: oh that’s a marvelous question! Categorically my model number is 779B-18 Mj-class series! Or do you mean materially? I am a lapis unit, I use La/Las :) SammmymmmaS: I meant your blood! Flare: ohh. Looks down. Lava.

….

Cess: rolls over for the first time in a month long coma SammmymmaS: :0 are you awake!? Cess: five more minutes SammymmaS: raises his loaded crossbow higher that’s not what I asked

…

Díi, wiping tears from their eyes: If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, it’s meant to be… Vi: I’m literally just going to the frog farm Vi: wait. Why can’t I leave origin Díi: because it’s meant to be 🥰

…

Díi: I’ll just pretend to have forgotten my umbrella so Violet will kindly share it with me and we can huddle together:3 Díi later, panicking while Vi burns in the rain: WHY DIDNT YOU BRING ONE Vi: I PURPOSEFULLY FORGOT IT SO I COULD HUDDLE WITH YOU

….

Those were good shenanigans

If I were more artistic I'd offer doodles but I have neither paper nor a screen I trust to draw on so just know I'm thinking about that time Via fell asleep on the roof while Vi and Flicker baited Díi into explaining how effigies work and their effect on bodies vs souls and how they differ from soul anchors

Nerds

Creature who IS love incarnate who is love immaterial, irreverent and illogical and immeasurable. Trying to put that into words.

"Love is Flicker building me a tunnel because I said I had to keep killing myself after visiting her" and "love is a week in a hole so you had somewhere you could feel safe" and "love is going to find you" "love is waiting for you to come back" and love is Via coming home and love is Flicker dumping supplies in chests and love is Díi telling Flicker to steal and hoard whatever she needs to feel safe, that Díi will deal with the consequences. Díi's love is overwhelming but it's not pure in the general sense of the word, love is stealing her people's anchors and keeping them alive and it's snooping and smiling and hiding because all she wants is them happy and healthy and they can't be that if they're worried about her. Love is Violet's garden memorial and Love is the warren and Love is Díi answering any questions Violet asks honestly and plainly, even though it's hard and scary.

I think there's even a degree of love in Flicker picking the pod to be the group she plans to sacrifice, and that she realized too late she messed up and genuinely got attached.

"you were supposed to hate me!" / "Then you shouldn't have been so lovable!" And "you don't have to prove your worth to us." / "Not to you! You're too easy to please!"

"May I have your name?" / "I'd love to give it to you but I don't think Overworlders can pronounce it."

"Aw, you don't like your rain acidic?" / "Is there another type of rain?"

"Violet! Hi!" / "Violet?" / "Well I couldn't call you the pretty purple lady forever."

"I just- I need to go, I need-" / "You can go, if you promise to take care of yourself while you're gone."

"You came." / "Of course I came. You asked."

"And I didn't know how to apologize-!" / "You already did! This is enough."

"Are you ready to come home?" / "I was hoping I could."

(That moment when Violet first found the eye tapestries and recoiled so much she crashed into Díi)

"You're gonna have to tell me what to do here Díi."

"How did we even get here?" / "I thought you were cool, and I decided I was going to give you something better." / "...I think you're pretty cool too."

"You know, the other side of that bridge is just calling for something to be built there." / "Yeah? You gonna do it?"

"Vi? You okay?" / "Yeah, yeah I am." (The BRIDGE SCENE)

"I can't- Díi I can't have this conversation again." / "Okay. That's okay, you don't have to, I've got this."

"I- Flicker, I think we can trust Díi on this."

(Violet shoving herself between Díi and Cessation's crossbow)

"Everyone has been telling me to avoid Díi, that she's doing something to me- Díi has done more for me than anyone else on the server!"

"Violet died, and so I attacked. She's Mine, that means it's my job to protect and avenge her."

"And you're still mortal - for now, at least, I'm working on that- ooh Violet this place is beautiful!" / "I- go back, what was that about immortality?"

"I feel like if I said half the things you just said you'd tell me I was being silly."

"They would have been so good, Díi." / "If they were yours I don’t think they could’ve been anything but good."

"I just want to make sure I'm not getting in over my head." / "Best way to combat that is to teach you what you're getting into."

"Did I ever thank you for defending me?"

"It's not your job to worry about me." / "If you plan to keep me around forever, you'll have to get used to me worrying about you."
