Alicornutopia

JokerSherlocks don't all necessarily have a Miles. They have a someone, but it's not always a Miles. Sigyn's someone was kind of ... distant? To the point where Sigyn doesn't actively retain an inner copy of them after his however many centuries of not having to pretend to be them.

But this JokerSherlock in particular is going to have had a Miles because reasons.

edit: thisbrokenpromise/thisbeautifulworld isn't grabbing me intensely. I'm not even totally sure which is meant to be which.

And for completeness, what are the screennames for Sigyn other than thevictorious?

Not yet decided. Sigyn is unusually well-integrated for a JokerSherlock and might not split, especially considering that it was hard enough finding enough good icons of his facecast to make one journal.

So JokerSherlocks usually split?

It's, hm.

JokerSherlocks have a tendency to get in their own way when they are unsplit. Splitting makes them psychologically healthier because it allows them to fluidly move between various levels of integration and various foregrounding schemes depending on the situation and their needs, instead of being mostly both of themselves all the time even on occasions when that is a recipe for disaster. (For example Mark's many complaints in sandboxes about how he finds it hard to interact with people. That's partly trauma and lack of practice, but it's partly the fact that his Joker social machinery and his Sherlock social machinery are meshing badly.)

A JokerSherlock who hears about their template characteristics and is any less well-integrated than Sigyn will probably want to split, because they will realize the advantages immediately.

Sigyn, having had hundreds of years to get used to himself in reasonably favourable conditions, might be fine how he is.

He did seem better integrated, but I thought that meant you were planning on hitting him with a bigger hammer to force the split anyway.

*examines template*

"well-integrated" and "hard to split" don't actually seem to correlate hardly at all. I'm not totally sure what it would take to split Sigyn, but it's plausible to me that it might need less applied force than the usual case.

This seems like a bit of a soulless-Sherlock name, but thisbeautifulworld and thisboringworld might work. Possibly with thisborderlessworld for Miles.

Hmm.

I'm going to pull quotes from more of those soundtrack songs and see where that gets me. I'm more willing to alter exact words than usual because it's all translations anyway, so maybe I can get something good that way. (Some things have multiple songs on a page, and what the heck, I might as well pull quotes from all of them where that happens.)

Connect
"this broken world" - in use as-is
"tear apart the shadow of distress"
"the sky is always waiting" -> "theskyawaits"? doesn't really parse well, alas
"my heart awoke" -> "awakenedheart"? ~scansion~

Luminous
"the colors of tomorrow"
"awakened my heart" - another vote for "awakenedheart" I guess, now if only i knew who to use it for

Colorful
"I'll take flight, riding on hope"
"the sky that stretches infinitely" -> "the_endless_sky"? alas for underscores, but it scans
"wrapped by threads of light"
"a gentle wind"
"this changing world"

Magia
"the ancient magic"
"this power that can break even darkness"
"calling forth the light" - I want this one desperately but I can't figure out how to condense it into a screenname I like
"an eternal dream"
"creating life"

Hikari Furu
"a song like a dream"
"with still trembling wings"
"within the light that illuminates all"
"all too fleeting"
"the dawning sky"

Kimi no Gin no Niwa
"beyond the door I open gently"
"let's have a little more fun"
"your silver garden"
"a girl cloaked in light"
"I soar into the air"
"like in a dream this star had"
"the sky shines"
"a chorus that awakens the dawn"
"towards a brilliant tomorrow"

Well, this has been a magical adventure. Lots of nice imagery, but still nothing that really grabs me.

It seems like I cannot have all of "no underscores anywhere", "all screennames the same scansion", and "everything from PMMM songs" (or even "everything from PMMM songs and then Miles with a still more glorious dawn").

I wonder what happens if I just sort of prod ideas around...

be_the_change sounds like a relevant concept for a Joker half here even if it doesn't pull directly from any song quotes

glorious_dawn is still where my heart lies for the Miles, or maybe gloriousdawn? can't decide

dreaming_stars feels like a Sherlock half maybe

possibly tear_the_shadow/call_the_light for joker/sherlock respectively
i wonder if i can get rid of the underscores there; teartheshadow/callthelight? not bad, although now i'm wavering on which is which
could also be breakthedarkness/callthelight

"the sky is always waiting" -> "thewaitingsky" or "thiswaitingsky" ?
