About

A small child who came into the digital world not knowing who their parents were - all they knew is that they were named Really by them... it makes more sense back in their surreal world. One day, while feeling soul-crushing loneliness, they accdentally put their ability to travel between the digital world and the "real" world to the test. Now they weren't just lonely - they were scared and lost too. All they had for a friend was a unicorn who tagged along. To cope with all of this, they created an illusion paradise to feel a (false) sense of security.

One day, a travelling minstel by the name of Prince Melon was on a mission to spread his music throughout the galaxy and noticed the mysterious planet. The prince wasn't sure what to think, but the child was enthralled that someone came to play - at least that was their first thought! The prince was kinda freaked out, but then realized...

"YOU'RE REAL?!"

The kid... wasn't happy upon hearing that. It broke the illusion of a happy and safe world they created all for themself. It was the only thing they had - without it, they felt like they were nobody... especially since they had nobody.

"I don't... want to be alone... all I wanted was my own safe world of love and peace."

The prince consoled them, telling them about his mission to spread love and peace to real planets offered to let them join him. He, in good faith, couldn't leave the lost little one alone. The child was overjoyed and immediately took up the offer.

Perfect. Little Really now had a new caretaker and the whole galaxy to explore... but first, it was time for Prince M to settle down for a while back on his home planet before starting the next chapter of his adventure. He introduced his new companion to his Albireo 7 home. What a groovy place it was, they thought. It was just... so chill and everyone they met was just so friendly and peaceful. the two also became a musical duo, with Prince M on guitar and Really on their magical tambourine.

The duo happily travelled together, spreading joy with their songs of peace and love. They made many intergalactic friends along the way, but soon tney were to meet the most important friends they've made in the galaxy. Prince M heard a couple of melodius voices coming from the planet Earth and guided Really over.

Once the two landed on Earth, the child saw a bunch of beautiful roses in a garden. Being the excited little kiddo they were, they couldn't help but dart over to them. Prince M was a lot more hesitant, realizing that they belonged to whoever owned the house right by the roses.

One of the singers, W.B. Rose, quickly went to see the commotion... and freaked out. Who wouldn't freak out over two intergalactic beings showing up at their backyard. Really shyly hid behind Prince M, while Prince M offerered to calm the human's nerves with a song.... and it worked, wow. W.B. Rose was very impressed with the duo's vibe and let them into the house. Really held Prince M's hand as they gazed in awe at the place. It was so gaudy inside, but just the way they envisioned a personal dream home. The two were also introduced to Ted=Pete and Wacky, who initially were just as baffled as W.B. was, but they soon adjusted to their visitors. W.B. insisted that the duo should join him, as their psychedelic vibe was just what he needed to expand on his sound. As both parties mutually loved each others' sound, the decided to all work together. This of course started the Sunshine Lovers! Over time, to Really, this wasn't just about having a cool band to be a part of, or even having a bunch of new friends - this was like having a true family unit to them, something they've always wanted.

Before meeting Prince M and the others, they had no sense of knowing themself as a person. However, they did blossom into a very sweet child with a colorful mind and soul. They aren't too open about their feelings in fear of being a burden. They're also afraid of being alone due to living through a very long period of isolation. Though they can be rather quiet and timid at first, once they are more open to someone, they reveal to be full of childlike wonder and joy. Nothing makes them happier than being with their close friends. To them, they are their family... and sometimes Really is very clingy and exibits seperation anxiety if away from them for an extended period... This is also due to trauma leaving them deathly afraid of losing their friends... it's unknown what exactly caused thiis, but it might have to do with the absense of their "real" parents. Really also gets upset when they see others argue. After all, they are the embodiment of peace and love.

Silly lil' headcanons

. Can change their appearence at will. They mainly just change up the streaks in their hair and dress colors, but they can also grow and shrink in size. They can also change their age, though they cannot go any older than their 'default' one.This totallyyyy not an excuse to draw self-indulgent, self-projecty art of babbu Really being taken care of by the others lmao.

. They are tangible, but they can quickly become purely virtual if needed. Their body will glitch out if upset or hurt. Sometimes intense joy will also cause some glitching. Their voice glitches out too sometimes. Also, sneezing or hiccuping also makes them glitch for a split second.

. Their unicorn lives in a virtual pocket dimension and can be summoned at any time.

. They call Jeff "Uncle Jeff." - he's W.B.'s brother in this AU after all!

. Their eyes sometimes swirl with color ("keleidoscope eyes" if you will ;P). They can still see when this happens. Also, they can see more colors than a human can - yeah, like a mantis shrimp.

. Headcanon voice - True from True and the Rainbow Kingdom

. They are autistic (self-projection haha,,,). They also have Chromesthesia, a form of Synesthesia causes sound to envoke a sense of color and shapes.

. They don't fully understand these kinds of feelings yet, but they have a lil' puppy-love crush on Flow Flow, who is their best friend. They get into a romantic relationship with her later in life.

. They're also good friends with Alt (mostly 1.0 since she's closer to their age), Papyrus, Tete & Toto, and Rolly.

. They occassionally slip a parental term instead of calling one of the other Sunshine Lovers by their name. Nobody has the heart to correct them and this gets more and more frequent as Really grows up with them.

Dynamic with the others
Wacky
Really views Wacky as an older brother figure. Often times you'll see Wacky showing Really places that he used to hang around when he was a child or introducing them to the music he grew up on. Sometimes Really's clingy behavior can bug him or he'll occassionally go a lil' too far with his playful teasing, but overall they still love each other! Oh, and Really LOOOVES playing with Wacky's pets! Really's unicorn loves them too!
W.B. Rose
Really very much enjoys spending time with him! Whether it be doing a fun lil' dance together, picking out cute outfits, or even just spending time in the garden, there is always good vibes! Sometimes W.B. is a bit of a mother hen... or peahen, heh - not that Really notices much as they are a clingy lil' one. Oh - Really LOVES stimming on his boa - it's fluffy as hell.
Prince M
What started started as Prince M simply taking Really under his wing while they had nobody else to turn to turned into him becoming their primary caretaker. It's clear they have a very strong father-child bond - like a mama swan and its cygnet, hehe. Really loves tagging along for the prince's adventures through the universe and seeing the beauty it has to offer. They always want to make him proud. They are a team and nothing will stop that!
Ted=Pete
Ted is the much calmer caretaker, not really having the energy the others have, but that's alright. That just means Really has someone they can be around for when they want to be in a less stimulating environment. Really LOVES listening to Ted read them his poetry or even just.. whatever ramble comes to his mind. They also love taking quiet walks together, especially in the spring when the flowers start to bloom. Oh, but don't worry, Ted isn't afraid to show off his goofy side to them, haha!
