Am I Lowkey Tipsy - Tumblr Posts

It’s like a month later but fuck it, I’m still thinking about Wondering Isles and specifically my girl Eris Darkwater (what a queen and what a wreck). Here’s all the headcanons i have for her epilogue times.

-She gets really good at hustling people in bars (to the point she gets banned from doing it at Xarus’s bar)

-All the drinks she orders are incredibly sweet and incredibly cursed

-She uses teleportation necklace almost exclusively to fuck with people or visit her sister

-When Ari moves in with Nyx those two things combine

-There’s a period of 5-10 years after Nyx leaves the Delrose where she visits but not as frequently as she does at other points in her life. She doesn’t know for a while what role she’s allowed or should have in her sister’s life. On one hand, despite having love in other places and finding romantic love later in her life, Nyx is her greatest love and soulmate. She doesn’t know what kind of person she would have become without her sister and she really hates thinking about the time her sister was dead. (When she has to refer to this time she just says that Nyx took a break and it’s one of the biggest deviations from what happened from reality in her book.) On the other hand, she knows what kind of life she lives and how for all their childhood they were all each other had, shouldn’t Nyx get to find a world where she’s able to find herself without Eris. A particularly insecure part of herself wonders if the real reason Nyx left the Delrose is because she just couldn’t handle Eris anymore and figured it wasn’t worth it. (That part usually silenced by reason and knowing that isn’t true, but it takes a while before it goes anyway entirely.)

-Eris does enjoy seeing lots of different planes and has gotten kicked out of about 6. (Only three of them were permanent)

-When asked what her position is on the Delrose, she remains that it’s the gunner despite the fact the Delrose doesn’t have canons

-Eris is pan or as she refers to it: “I’m just into really REALLY hot people.”

-Eris ends up having a great romantic love in her life. It starts out as a rivalry with the first mate on a different ship. The rivalry isn’t technically her fault, but she definitely made it worse. The rivalry starts when she’s about 25 and they don’t end up getting together for another decade because they’re both stubborn motherfuckers. It takes another 5 years before they’re even on the same ship. (Her girlfriend is a half-orc multiclassed assassin rogue/trickery cleric.)

-Her name is Tyche (named after Greek goddess of luck)

-She eventually as an insanely extravagant wedding in her forties with practically everyone she ever met invited

-She asks about 5 years after the big fight, if Eva would want to contact her husband/twins dad (Nicole can’t remember name)

-The teen zone is established and continues for the entirety of Eris’s life. Much past the age she’s technically allowed to be in it per her own rules.

-While no biological children, she ends up taking in any children/teens who are in similar situations that the twins were in. There’s about three of them that she considers truly hers (one of which does refer to her as mom)

-Eris is the type of adult who likes for kids to think they’re being really tough and scary while she’s behind them actually being threatened to stop anyone from giving the kids shit

-Slowly realizing that Eris is just slowly becoming a mix Adam and Keith from CaffeinatedFlumadiddle’s Voltron is (Basically) a Disaster series in her epilogue (to be fair this is a great fanfic)

-Has and will kill people for trying to use mind control magic on her

-For a period of about two to three months in her mid thirties, she was mind controlled to basically become a killing machine for some wannabe Castellane. The party came together to save her (along with her “rival”). The man who kidnapped her got perhaps the most gruesome death anyone there had ever seen when Eris was done with him.

-While they don’t get together directly afterwards, this does mark a turning point in the “rivalry”

-Eris spends a solid two months living with Nyx and not adventuring after this

-With a mix of her rival, Nyx, Thalia, and the rest of her friends and crew she’s able to get out of her own head

-She has an obnoxious wedding where she forces Ari and Lian to a kids table

-She briefly marries the prince to make Tyche jealous

-She dies in her early 70’s, it’s not so much a fight but a sacrifice for some child who she felt deserved it. Her last words are commenting on how the narrative difference of dying in a fight vs dying via sacrifice makes a difference to her. (Someone who always thought she would die via pirate fight)

-She spends her afterlife in the plane she did seances in, in essentially an endless seance
