yesterday I got the "are you a boy or are you a girl" question from a six-year-old, and I told her that some people aren't boys or girls (like me!) I was expecting her to be a little confused, but she nodded thoughtfully and said, "wow, just like snails."

completely unoriginal but still funny idea I had about Rumi post-patterns reveal learning why the other girls never really suspected her demonic heritageš¤
Rumi: Man, as much as Iām glad you guys know now, back in the day I was always so worried you were gonna figure out what I was.
Zoey: Well itās not like there was really any way we could have known without you telling us or like, your clothes getting ripped off, yknow?
Mira: Donāt be a pervert, Zo.
Zoey: Wha- hey! I didnāt even mean it like that!
Rumi, confused: Did you guys really never wonder why I did all thatā¦ weird stuff? Like, not even a bit?
Zoey, shrugging: Well I mean kinda? But we figured it was because of the autism.
Mira: Yeah, most of it is because of the autism, so the stuff that isnāt wasnāt that noticeable.
Rumi, bewildered: The au- what are you guys talking about??? I donāt have autism.
Mira: ā¦
Zoey: ā¦
Zoey, slowly: Didā¦ did no one tell you?
Rumi: Guys- thereās nothing to ātellā?? All that stuff is just demon things! I- I guess I can see why you might of assumed that before, but now you know itās just because of demon genes, or something.
Mira, exasperated: Oh Rumiā¦ you really didnāt know, wow.
Zoey: Ru, you canāt have seriously not realized all that isnāt reallyā¦ demon stuff, right?
Rumi, still lost: Wha- of course it is! Name one thing tha-
Mira: -You have 3 whole weighted blankets on your bed because you canāt sleep without being compressed.
Zoey: Every time we get in an elevator you watch the numbers go down and get visibly disturbed if anyone interrupts you.
Mira: You have a spreadsheet and diagram set up with every type of facial expression you do on camera and when to do it.
Zoey: Bobby custom orders all of your socks because you hate having the seams under your feet.
Mira: You have to have your braid pulled back insanely tight to a specific point or you redo the entire thing.
Zoey: Whenever anyone touches you without warning you first you freeze up. Even when itās someone we know.
Mira: Sometimes when weāre all together and doing our own thing, youāll just stare at one or both of us really hard and not say anything.
Zoey: Yeah, and if we point it out you just mumble something about bonding.
Mira: When we first met we asked what you liked to do for fun and you said āI can do pushups?ā.
Zoey: We have a personal driver, but you know more about all of our vehicles than he does. Or any vehicles, actually. You have like, 5 licenses. What would being a demon even have to do with-
Rumi: -OKAY! Okay, I get it. Not all of my weird stuff is because of being part demon. But that doesnāt mean I have-
Mira and Zoey: -Bobby has official medical documentation of your accommodations that he gives to the stage crew so the lights donāt irritate you.
Rumi, defeated: ā¦I thought he was asking about something else..

I understand why Rumi is often written as the most insecure/least confident character in most polytrix fics; itās because so much of the movie is centered around her shame and insecurity around her patterns.
But I do think that, in-universe, if you remove patterns/demon guilt from the equation, Zoey is definitely the most insecure. Compare āIām everyoneās typeā Rumi to āIām not eager to please, right guys??ā Zoey. Zoeyās the youngest and the most affected by critique in the doctors office scene, sheās also from California and got bullied a lot as a kid (the cut scene of her getting shoved into lockers)
Obviously, thereās so many different depictions/interpretations that people have made from these characters, but I do think this route is slightly under explored.
One good example of this is def across the net, closer still by youngchopsticks. Itās a phenomenal fic, and it really explores Zoeyās insecurity in a way that I donāt see super often (I wrote more about this on my TikTok)

Summary:
after a rabies exposure, the virus must travel to the brain before it can cause symptoms. therefore, the incubation period may last for weeks to months depending on several factors such as location of the exposure site (in relation to the brain) and age; in extremely rare cases it could be dormant for years. rumi thinks about this one frequently, lying in bed at night; the idea that you could be wasting away at any moment in your life. a poison in your veins with you none the wiserā like a ticking bomb just waiting to go off. you would need to get bit or scratched first, of course, and if you took the right precautions you would likely never know. and rumi has never been bitten anyway. sheās fine. absently, she scratches at her shoulderā skin tight.

Mira seeing Rumi sat on the couch in a giant hoodie and getting the "oh no not this again" engine running, coming over to check up on Rumi, see how she's doing, feeling any shame recently?
And Rumi just pulls down the neck of the hoodie to reveal Zoey's face, totally asleep and snoring quietly from inside, curled up against her body like some kind of marsupial.

"Friends outside of Minnesota please read. I'm sharing a post written by a personal friend and medical doctor: Friends outside MN, you need to know what is happening here. Everyone knows that ICE shot and killed a woman here on Wednesday. But thatās not the only thing thatās going on:
- ICE agents are cruising areas with immigrant-owned businesses, and kidnapping patrons and employees alike. Yesterday they abducted two US citizen employees at a suburban Target, one who was begging them to allow him to go get his passport to show them.
- ICE is going door to door in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods, asking residents where their immigrant neighbors live. Read that again. If it sounds like something out of your high school history textbook, thatās because it is.
- ICE is targeting schools and school buses. They pepper sprayed teenagers and abducted two school staff members at the high school up the street from me on Wednesday. Police are literally escorting school buses to ensure children can get to school and home safely. The Minneapolis Public Schools have moved to virtual learning for the next 4 weeks because itās unsafe for children or teachers to physically come to school.
- They are targeting hospitals and clinics. Patients are scared and are cancelling their appointments or just not showing up. Kids are missing their checkups and vaccines, folks arenāt getting their cancer care, etc.
- They are smashing windows in cars and homes.
- ICE is increasingly picking up Native Americansāagain, targeting folks based on skin color alone.
- They are arresting and beating legal observers. A friend of a friend had her arm broken yesterday. Folks are showing up at local hospitals, brought in in ICE custody, with severe injuries that are absolutely inconsistent with mechanism of injury reported by ICE. (Think: patient appears to have been beaten unconscious, while ICE agent says he slipped and fell.) I canāt emphasize enough that these ICE agents do not have warrants. There are 2,000+ agents here and they are simply hunting for anyone thatās not white. It doesnāt matter if youāre a citizen or a green card holder, they will kidnap you first and ask questions later. But the community is fighting back.
- Protests are happening every day.
- Community groups have been leading know-your-rights sessions for months, often to packed venues.
- Whistles are being distributed by the thousands, carried on keychains and worn on coat zippers, always at the ready to be blown in warning if ICE is spotted.
- Drivers are following ICE vehicles, blaring their horns in warning.
- Businesses are locking their doors even while open to keep employees and customers safe. As I type this, Iām standing guard at the locked door of our neighborhood burrito joint while I wait for my takeout order, so the employees can focus on their jobs. The place is packed with neighbors supporting this small business.
- Anti-ICE signs are posted everywhere. The community is making it crystal clear that ICE is not welcome here.
- Parents and neighbors are standing guard outside schools, organizing carpools, and escorting kids to and from school on foot.
- Parents of kids in Spanish-immersion daycare (there are a LOT of these daycares here!) are keeping their kids home so the teachers donāt have to take the risk of coming to work.
- Churches and community groups are holding fundraisers to buy and deliver groceries to families who donāt feel safe leaving home.
- Mutual aid money is going out to folks who canāt make rent because they canāt work or because a breadwinner was abducted, or who need a warm place to stay after their homeās windows were smashed. THAT is what is happening here. This fight is ongoing and itās horrifying to watch. But we are not backing down. To my friends in other cities and states, donāt think for a minute that this wonāt happen in your town. It will. Be ready. Learn from us, as we have learned from Portland and Chicago and New York. Fight back. Donāt let us get to the last line of Martin Niemollerās poem.ā -Grant Boulanger
