![]() "And Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red as strawberries in summertime." -White Winter Hymnal, Fleet Foxes- *The lead vocalist of this band has said it is lyrically meaningless so hurray -_-. *Interestingly enough, the song also has "with scarves tied 'round their throats to keep their little heads from falling in the snow" which reminds me of the ribbon tied around Colette's throat and mouth which was done with info gotten by the Angels. *That said, Colette died 10 years ago according to Ansel's timeline, so Leah is probably not involved, maybe Karyn/Lynn still. They're definitely the sketchiest of the lot, and that's saying something with Claudia and Daniella involved. (But that's because Claudia and Daniella, in part because of being Qyrshi, can deal with the nuances and Lynn/Karyn likely are/were black&white about things). And Adelina has officially condemned that action (note: Abi still has not told me who the top resistance general aka the Leai Organa of the group is). *So, Michael fell (clumsy), died in the snow (after the narrator lost track of him) and turned it red with blood like strawberry *Additionally, Michael is also the name of an archangel (and I am paying attention to the code names) who led God's armies against Satan's forces and defeats him. Because of this, understandably, Michael's patronage are fighters, military, paramedics, paratroopers, firefighters, etc. Very poignant. *So is Adelina, as the leader of the resistance cell instrumental to the defeat of the Qyr, Michael in this? is she gonna die?! *It could also just be the lyrics of blood on the snow because it's Doanai. Is one of these Angels gonna be killing during the plot? Yikes. |

![]() "But there's an element of the ridiculous to it- you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you're on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn't pay it very well." -Richard Silken *The 3 big Qyr (sure, there's other Qyr in the plot -42% of Abi's chars specifically, with Shi/Qyrshi both 29%- but Stefans are the grandchildren of the admiral that landed, and Oli the son of the former dictator) *I lost my train of thought at least three times while reading this. *the entire quote starts with "Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you; you're falling to the floor crying thinking, "I am falling to the floor crying" (glad to know this sentence is just as run on from the beginning) *So it's about grief, but the sheer weirdness of grief, the fact our mind can still process other completely banal shit during it. *Why these characters, who have they lost? Who will they lose? Why are Hans and Oli (and Dani and Leah) in two headers? Was the loss, heartbreak, unavoidable? *Nothing suspicious is in the background as far as I can tell. *I wonder what happened to Marcel Ricard in this verse. |

![]() "Who were you before they broke your heart?" -Idk it seems to be a book name? Quote from like pinterest images- *Bailee and Ansel lost Colette (though it did drive them together). Before Ansel lost Colette he was...we don't know his life really. He briefly begins talking about his life broadly- demeaned and seeking validation. And lbr it doesn't seem to change very much? *Bailee meanwhile retreats into the mountains, rededicates herself to the Shivu way of logic, and further explores her scientific prowess- actively helping the Qyr against the Shi rebels. Grief has pulled her away from emotions. *Hans is basically a war criminal (now, was probably regarded as an exemplary soldier by the Qyr -by some still, likely- until the peace treaty) but repentant (although some chars don't believe that). So before they broke his heart by declaring him a monster, he was a hero? *Who is that blonde woman in the middle? Adelina? Kitty? Maybe it's Kitty, and it would explain why Leah is also in B&W, because she's gone through so much. And is so young and doesn't even remember who she was before the suffering? Before the kitty claws denoting the name of her victims? *Daniella's heart was broken from the get-go, she was isolated as a kid, locked away for being Qyrshi and 'illegal'. And when she fell for Olivier, the sisterhood and family that she thought she had found mostly shunned her. *Olivier lost his father two weeks after his wedding so one one hand, yikes, but did that really break his heart? And even if it did, he's a better person for it, Remington sux- xoxo. |

![]() "We have not touched the stars, nor are we forgiven, which brings us back to the hero's shoulders and the gentleness that comes not from the absence of violence, but despite the abundance of it." -Richard Siken (again)- *"We have not touched the stars", is it in reference to the fact that they have not met their goals? *"Nor are we forgiven" could directly reference the fact that all 3 of these boys either fought for the Qyr, or were cooperative with the Qyr. *Are any of them "heroes"? In canon, no question. Less certain about Derrick, as he's always been a secondary character but despite some reprehensible actions, they go back to the right path. *As far as gentleness, I could probably classify most of them that way. Max is the typical macho man, "real salt of the earth type". Despite his physical fortitude, especially so as a Qyron. Max was part of the Qyron sect to first lay down their weapons. He heals people, he rescues people. *Devin meanwhile exhibits less "macho" traits- he's quiet, studious, and diplomatic. Eventually he starts buffing up but while Devin is devious, he is never cruel. *Derrick in canon meanwhile carved and designed a marble fountain for his wife. He is characterized as kind, but is also knight-captain of Faycella so he is strong and a fighter. *Have they all been subject to an excess of violence? During the war, Max certainly. Growing up as a Qyrshi, Devin faced discrimination and belittlement. Derrick, I'll have to see how much action he saw during the war. *TL;DR, I am heavily biased with Max and Devin, and suspicious of Derrick. That said, please don't die any of you. |

![]() "Fall on your knees, o night divine." *Both of our Qyrshizoids on the same header (and currently in a disagreement over Daniella eep) *Are they going to suffer personally or will they be brought to their knees feeling everyone else suffer around them? *There's some sort of ice sculpture...in the back, I don't know if it is anything *The Christmas tree lights are pretty but do they mean anything? |

![]() Silent Night. Holy Night. Sleep in heavenly peace. *Has already been explained to me by Abi that Kate was originally meant to hurt Irene, hence the ribbon coming out of Kate. And I suppose Bailee was supposed to have interfered. *Thankfully that was avoided...she cut Ambrose instead x_x *Still, does this mean that this being one of the trigger warning events means that other headers are possible trigger warning events? |

![]() Remember how it was to feel alive *First of all, this header is beautiful. Like honestly, top marks. *Okay, given the blood on Luke's hands it COULD be that Marcus could be triggered into hurting Adelina and Luke kills Marcus defending Ads. Honestly, Luke just needs a reason lmao *What is that pretty bird? What does it mean? *Mountains in the back, twinkling lights, and a date. *The date is not for the opening of the party but rather for day 1, the 23rd. Nothing happened but...doesn't mean nothing can't. |

![]() You're a poem of mystery. You're the prayer inside of me. Father tell me, we get what we deserve? *Ah yes the daddy/big 4 header I keep referencing. This one is just truly sad man *I already knows Lawrence II was up to no good even if I don't know exactly what it is because look at the other two *Ryan Faye, part of the plan to create the virus, probably wouldn't have felt bad about what he'd done if Daniella hadn't been caught in the crossfire so ya know, fuck him. Fuck you, sir, you don't deserve to have had Dani protect your secret *Do I even need to touch Remington D'Grey? I want him gone and out of here, I hate him a lot. *So let's expose all these motherfuckers and get the job done, shall we? *Extra: can only make out the word 'daddy' but not anything else. |

![]() I'm going to be killed by a Christmas Tree *If ever anything had the potential to be very literal *Amalie had a dream about an exploding tree ornament and it left her shook. Do you know how much it takes to shake a Shivu? *Mitchell objects to Leah being on this header because she's going to be fine *You know, the Shi's skin can sometimes harden like diamond for protection so I wonder if the shiyan will have advantages to...something that may explode? Maybe during the concert on the 24th in the great hall with that giant ass xmas tree? *I'M SCARED |
