I MET HER, I FOUND HER, FRIENDS OMG SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL SO COOL SO STRONG SO PERFECT SO SLAY

new idea: chess.com chatfic starring constantine playing chess during workhours and her opponents being the kids from SPDM. its basically like the breakaway incident but no one dies and its really jsut this middle-aged woman lording her wins over a bunch of twelve year olds in chess.com chatlogs

imagine the timekeeper and her crew being stuck in the poolrooms liminal space for a couple of days instead of, like, the typical beach episode

I don't know much about liminal spaces, so I looked it up.

Liminal spaces can be physical locations, such as airports, train stations, elevators, stairwells, roads, corridors, or hotels. They can also be emotional, such as a divorce, or psychological, such as puberty or menopause. Liminal spaces can also be metaphorical, such as a decision. Liminal spaces are meant to be temporary and can involve both positive and negative effects. They can evoke feelings of eeriness or discomfort because they are not meant for staying, but rather for passing through. Liminal space imagery often depicts transitional places that are unsettlingly devoid of people, and the aesthetic may convey moods of eeriness, surrealness, nostalgia, or sadness.

Since these influence emotions, arcanists might have stronger reaction to being placed in a liminal space. I think Vertin would hate it since it evokes feelings she doesn't like addressing, but she'll carry on as always. The tunnels under the Foundation and the Labyrinth under the Walden would also be considered liminal spaces and being trapped in another liminal space might get under her skin since she's lost people in both instances. On another note, a place devoid of people with only echoes of the past would upset her since that's what her fate is as Timekeeper. She gets left behind while everyone is taken by the Storm.

I think liminal spaces would trigger Sonetto's separation anxiety so bad. The Timekeeper will be in her sights at all times.

The horror crew would love it though! They'll want to shoot a whole damn movie. Jessica will be a water monster for the film. The water lovers likes Vila and La Source won't be particularity bothered either since water is a net positive for them.

Yenisei's ability will be crucial here and she will be the one who gets them out of the space.

The crew investigating an abandoned mall would also be pretty neat.

Hi hi, my fellow! ^-^

A question, if I may:

When deepening Insight, we use books for the Arcanist; now, you could say that the reason Intelligence and Spirit use two is because they're Primal Afflatus (Afflati?), but my question instead is:

What do you think the three tiers contain in terms of information, for each Afflatus? ^-^

I like to think Vertin doesn't have books dedicated to the special afflatus so she decides that if they're so smart/unsettling then they can learn two things at once. You may be smart and/or creepy, but you're not above knowledge 🫵😠

Perhaps the first ones, those papers, include poems and quotes. They're not long enough to contain anything aside from that, but they could still include enough information through their short content.

The second tier must be more into findings, it reminds me a lot of maps so it could be about the origins of their afflatus and how it travels through times and their own body.

And the third are encyclopedias 😞

Trying to get back to drawing again, and this was supposed to be that one popular reference lately also supposed to be vertin but i got lazy with the hair and the bun is kinda hard so 😔🤧

I am calling everyone in the r1999 community to check this out because it's the perfect thing to add to that playlist you use to make fanarts, write fanfics or imagine cool amvs in your head.

:>

I adore rarepairs lol o7

MedPoc: ...I mean. Yeah, I'm happy for ya or whatever but. Vertin??

Mesmer: No offence. But you haven't dated anyone. Get real.

Vertin is the cure for Mesmer's anxiety, in a cute way.

Much like the colour for green in French, Vert, she makes Mesmer sick /aff

You might be the reason I start liking rare pairs...

What's up with the MedPoc hate Mesmer? Nahhh

This could go the other way too actually

Lilya: heh, I'm glad you're back in the dating department, Vertin. But... Mesmer Jr? Really?

Vertin: She's actually a really nice person

Lilya: Mesmer Jr?

two of them

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Challenge: explain how Schneider and Vertin could work canonically in spite of their short time together.

This previous post I made helps flesh out their dynamics but I want to talk about how the two could fall in love with each other. It might help put the rest of this post in perspective.

Unconventional lover theory:

Perhaps Schneider didn't fall in love with Vertin per say, but she saw what they could be. What if she saw enough to say that one day she'd fall in love with this person if she had the chance. Vertin didn't have a long time with Schneider, but in their short time she displayed everything Schneider wished for. It's about impact rather than time, especially since they met in extraordinary circumstances.

So going off of that, if Schneider feels that one day Vertin will be someone special to her due to her character...

Why can't they start right now? Does love have to be done in a specific order for it to be real? Schneider herself is a rather unconventional person so, perhaps this line of thought isn't weird for her.

One day'll fall she'll fall in love with Vertin, so what's wrong with indulging in their relationship now? Whether it's after the first date or 10 dates, if they end up together then why not love each other from now?

That is to say, she doesn't love Vertin; she loves the Vertin she'll inevitably fall in love with the down the line.

Time is short. She has shit to do. They can figure out the middle part along the way but she's looking at the end-game.

She loves the future they could have had together.

Unfortunately she also knows they don't have time to build that future.

As for Vertin, she isn't in love with Schneider either but she feels she could be. Vertin doesn’t know this is the last time she'll see Schneider and thinks in a more conventional sense where they'll get closer day by day. However, Vertin can't have anything "normal" so she's robbed of that possibility. She tries not to think about what ifs since she can't change anything, meaning she ruminates on the past and reality of the situation.

Vertin's fixated on the loss she suffered in the past.

Schneider focused on future she knows they can't have.

But, perhaps in a convoluted way, they started falling in love the moment they actually looked at each other in the hours before the Storm. When their visions aligned in the present.
