Who dissociates though all the lore? - 🦝

Kanna, probably. She’s just… often wrapped up in her imagination, baking, and dolls, and often misses big things happening around her.

Which is odd considering she has been involved with it. It’s kind of like… like the negative things just don’t stick….

i’m chomping and gnawing on your headcannons and cannot wait to read marigold omnomnomnkm. are you planning on posting it all at once or just the first chapter/a few chapters?

It probably be one at a time or something along those lines because at my core I am a procrastiator and if I try to do it all at once it will literally never come out.

do you have any shadowknight headcanons?

So! My second post on shadow knights! I'm not complaining, I freaking love the shadow knights-

Here's the first one: Shadow Knights

Because nothing was specified, I'm going to do both as a species and characters! I'm assuming this was for MCD: Marigold.

Shadow Knights as a species:

-Obsessive. Usually it's focused on revenge, a desire for power, just pure blood lust, and so on. But it affects each person differently, and they all can obsess over separate things. It is controllable and containable. Some shadow knights view letting your obsession take hold of you as weak, while others see it as the only way to live.

-Their eyes are reflective, like an animals. This is both in and out of their shadow knight form.

-Switching between forms is horribly painful, but they usually don't notice, as they are usually blinded by emotion to even process it. The ones in the nether stay in one form all the time, so they never even realize. The more control over when you transform, the more you realize how painful it is.

-Intense sense up grade. Increased hearing, sense of smell, touch, sight, all of it. It's part of the reason Laurance's sight was so easy to restore(even though it wasn't fully fixed). It's important to note that it's even better in shadow knight form.

-The sword and armor does actually just appear on them in that form, and it's impossible to take off. They can put the sword in its sheath, but that's the extent of it.

-Animals and shadow knights usually aren't the best mix, but it depends. Funnily enough, most domestic animals respond well to them. All wild animals, on the other hand... not so much.

-Not a single shadow knight was ever pure of heart. Someone with a pure heart cannot be turned.

Shadow knight character things:

-Gene has been messing with shadow knight recruit memories to make them more willing. For whatever reason(lore reasons I'll get to later), it wouldn't work on Laurance.

-Part of Sasha wanted Aphria to never find out about her being... y'know, dead, so she could live a peaceful life in Phoenix Drop.

-Zenix genuinely cared for Dorian and Aphria, but ended up deeming connections like that weak.

-Zenix never got to know that Dorian wasn't Garroth's real name.

-Gene's obsession is vengeance. Sasha is worried what he'll do with himself once he achieves it...

-Sasha's obession is simply living as she wants, however she wants. It used to be revenge, but she's moved past that.

-Zenix's obsession is power. He'll do anything for it.

-Vylad has disconnected himself from emotion so much that he doesn't have an obsession.

-Laurance refuses to admit he has one, because he isn't a full shadow knight. In truth, it's his humanity, and who is connected to that. His friends, family, and loved ones. What keeps him sane. That's what he'll lose his mind over. Funny, isn't it?

Listen-

In MS(and that thing I'll eventually do for that-) Laurance can cook. This does not change the fact that in MCD: Marigold he can't.

And I have an explanation.

In MS, Laurance grew up able to learn these things. He had the time and a home to do so in. He’s able to focus on what tastes good and what he enjoys. He didn't have these things for a long time in MCD. He grew up eating anything, with no family or friends to look after him before Cadenza and Hayden, not counting Ungrth who had no idea what humans should or should not consume. Much like Aphria, Laurance would eat anything. He sucks at cooking because he’s never made full meals before. He's made something edible that would get him through the day without starving. His food tastes awful because that's never something he considers. He considers what will help everyone function longest.

MCD: Marigold Laurance is mistress coded.

Actually, I think this applies to most if not all versions of Laurance.

I want Caleb to exist somehow. The baby brother Laurance had in Mystreet that was there to explain why he wasn't in season 2. That one. I want that baby in Marigold and I don't know how to write him in because the family is very different.

Part of me says Laurance just pick up a baby at one point and goes "welp, this is my brother now. Yep."

Another part of me says he can just join the army of children that Aphria, Garroth, Zoey, and Laurance "raise."

I don't know.

I could also mess with their age difference and keep him Laurance's biological brother, because he obviously had to have some form of family before being taken in by Hayden, right? They existed. I'm not saying he remembers them or anything, but they have had to exist at some point considering Laurance... you know, exists.

This became more of a nonsensical rant than anything, sorry. Please give me advice.
