his hands are cold and gentle yall......
That helicopter would be SO STINKY right after
awkward helicopter ride back home
Thinking about Robin and Sunday's halos.
About how Robin's halo isn't a closed circle, but more like a branch forming a circular shape, where the start and stem don't touch. It's also uneven in shape and splits into three flowers, like it's allowed to grow freely, unobstructed. Something about Robin having left Penacony and having escaped the confines of her cage, being able to flourish. About her being able to let people in, and connect to them.
Meanwhile Sunday stayed behind to be the head of the Oak family and conform to the strict role that's expected of him, and his halo is a perfectly symmetrical shape that's practically fully closed off. It's sharp, almost more like a crown of thorns than a halo. And it almost doesn't have any openings to let anything, or anyone, in easily. It actively discourages getting close to it.
And then if you want to get sappy about, which I will - Sunday doesn't let anyone in, with that almost completely sealed, thorny halo of his... But there's an opening in Robin's halo, and so it can fit around Sunday's. Something about him always being able to find solace in her, because there's room for him in her (halo) heart always, by design.
Anyway I'm not normal about them.
characters⟡ welt yang, himeko, pom pom, lieserl albert einstein, frederica nikola tesla, march 7th, (mentioned) dan heng, (mentioned) stelle
relationships⟡ n/a
~ because he has died 3 times and gotten horribly beaten up practically constantly in hi3, welt has chronic joint and nerve pain
~ that's why he made the star of eden into a cane when he replicated it, so it could have two functions
~ his pain is the worst in his knees and fingers (only made worse when he would overwork himself as an animator) but he has pain in all of his joints
~ his pain fluctuates so he doesn't need to use the cane every day (but he probably should most of the time)
~ on good days he just wears knee compression braces and a compression glove on his bad hand
~ most of the time he doesn't use his cane when he needs to, a habit leftover from when he was sovereign of anti-entropy and couldn't show weakness in front of others
~ pom pom and himeko (plus einstein and tesla when he was on earth) can always tell when he's pushing through the pain and refusing to use his cane
~ pom pom and tesla lecture him throughly on the benefits of using his cane when he needs it (and the consequences of not doing so)
~ einstein and himeko just hand him his cane and watch him for the rest of the day to make sure he's using it when he needs to (if he's not they snitch on him to pom pom/tesla)
~ although he wants to go on as many trailblaze adventures as he can, he only goes when his pain is mostly under control (that's why he didn't go to jarilo-vi the first time)
~ subduing and neutralizing stellarons make his pain flare up so he has to go back to the Express immediately after to lay down
~ theres one bathroom on the Express (but it is big, there's a whole car dedicated to it) and welt hogs the shower because the hot eases the pain in his joints while he's in it
~ welt has a weighted blanket that he always sleeps with on the Express, when they spend multiple nights off of the Express he goes without it because it's too heavy to bring with
~ without the blanket he wakes up multiple times during the night from pain (if he even sleeps at all)
~ with the blanket he wakes up a lot less and his joints feel less achy in the morning
~ when march was learning how to sew (to alter her outfits) one of the first advanced projects she made (with welt's input and help) was a weighted arahato stuffed animal that could be heated up so he could ease his joint pain
~ march has the prototype version of the stuffed robot and insists the two robots are friends
~ occasionally his pain is so bad he can't get out of bed and on those days the trailblaze trio sets up in his room and they watch movies and play games to keep him company
~ welt always insists he doesn't need help but everyone (the express and his earth family) ignore him and help him anyway
~ when his finger/knuckle pain prevents him from drawing march takes pictures of the things he wants to draw so he can sketch it later when he feels better
PSA WARNING : DO NOT READ IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE TALKS OF SUICIDAL THOUGHTS.
Background Context: I was speed running my chance to have Inky the stray black cat as my pet and changed the time to Evening, but I was at Lumina Square when I did it. So, I went to the map icon to go back to Sixth Street when I saw Lighter’s icon in the Lumina Square area and I had to check out why he’s there.
I was not prepared for the interaction between us.
I just want everyone to know that I am not a licensed psychologist, I am only days away from getting my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, but Lighter’s choice of words are heavily implying that he has suicidal ideation.
You have three choices to tell him. I already did the second and third choices. This is what he’ll say:
The first pic happens when you picked the last one, and he’s going to do a bunch of death jokes to lighten the mood, but the Proxy will still remind him in the end to live his life. If you pick the second, it’s the rest of the pictures and he’s going to tell you that he is doing fine and was overthinking his situation, but will say he envies you for a secret reason. I will try to find him again tomorrow for the first one, but I just want people to know that Lighter has suffered and is still dealing with PTSD from his past so every time the Proxy talks to him, Lighter becomes happier because of us. His interactions with the Proxy does show that he does care about our relationship with him and that he will not do anything reckless for the sake of his relationship with us.
Literally minutes after our interaction. He’s in a happier state.
Lighter might not want people to know his situation, but the instant he hears someone wanting him to live or is willing to die with him, he changes his mind and wants to live so the person who cares about him doesn’t have to worry about him. He truly is a well written character and I will defend him with everything I have.
Those delusions and fallacies have been shattered. He wanted to be the sun of the whole world, yet He fell from the sky.
