the rubie lore (unfinished) (yes im on hiatus) (shh)

Instructions

+ i've always had a sort of celestial theme, ever since i started spop my fandom name has been __verse (yuniverse, yoonaverse, rubieverse) + the lore will become more 'physical' rather than just all in the mind or soul when i get to writing about my more recent songs UHHH ill finish this later probably it’s just some stuff that’s been sitting in my google docs for months and i wanted to post it so that i’m not totally forgotten lol also i know only a total of 2 people are gonna read all the way through but trust me guys this is gonna be cool Why I changed to the stage name Rubie: Ruby is a gem (fitting the celestial theme), which forms under pressure. It is beautiful but created under stress. GEMINI Gemini is a zodiac. They were never human. They were not one person, or two people, but simply one entity with two souls sharing the existence. In the sky there are constellations, not human but sentient. All of them contain only one soul, except for Gemini. This complicates Gemini a lot, as the two different souls begin to desire individuality; one wants to be human, raw, to experience and to feel, while the other wants to shine, be seen and remembered. The twins make the choice to split and descend to Earth. To do so, they must pass through the moon, but they forget one crucial rule; a celestial body cannot actually divide into two people, or two bodies. They were warned not to by the Sky, but they chose to anyway. So when they crossed through the moon, their souls split into two halves, while their ‘body’ stayed as one. They reached for each other in the confusion, and in the process merged their souls into two separate consciousnesses inside one human body [this is the cover image of ‘You and the Moon’]. So, Gemini becomes a human vessel containing two incomplete celestial halves. ‘Half’ number one takes on the persona of ‘YOU’ and ‘half’ number two becomes ‘THE MOON’. Neither is completely whole, and they experience the same problems as they did before trying to take on human form. Love always feels incomplete, as there is never a full person to love; identity is super unstable and everything becomes amplified to the extreme. The saddest part is that they never wanted to separate, they wanted to become one; but becoming human gave them the opposite. Rubie is the story, the body whom the twins of Gemini took on to stay on earth. She is not one of the twins, she is what happens when both sides of Gemini are forced into a human life. The Gemini twins cross through the Moon to become human, and they land as Rubie. The catch is, though, that Rubie doesn’t even know this at first; she feels inconsistent, too much or not enough and like she’s a contradiction to her own beliefs. She experiences life like she is making choices but truly, she is being pulled in two different directions. All of this happened before the events of You and the Moon. The start of You and the Moon timeline is with ‘mirror’. mirror is when Rubie starts to become aware that she is different, but she hasn’t yet realised that there are souls inside her which make it hard to function and confusing to live with. mirror starts with the ‘YOU’ twin speaking to ‘THE MOON’ (for purposes of continuity, ‘YOU’ will now be ‘Ruby’ and ‘THE MOON’ will now be ‘Magenta’). Ruby defines herself as the stabiliser, as having the mindset of “I was the one holding us together”. Throughout the song she clings to memories, identity and connection with her twin. She says that she knew that Magenta pulled away and chose her visibility over their connection. The start of the chorus is when she’s saying to Magenta, “when you see us, do you remember me?”. She endured becoming human and now she’s frustrated because Magenta is avoiding introspection. The line “I was supposed to be the one but I guess that you loved her dearer” is Ruby saying that Magenta valued the human body of Rubie over their safety and connection. It also doubles into Rubie choosing to lean into fame and making Ruby feel replaced despite being the persona closer to Rubie’s heart (hence the very similar names). “You could scream a thousand lies and swear the sky was never clearer” was Magenta’s entrance to the song, where she’s saying that Ruby is being too naïve, believing that everything could have worked out. She rejects Ruby’s idea of unity and says that she isn’t there to reflect her, rather to become her own identity. The final verse of the song is a duet between them. The entire song of mirror is Ruby begging to be seen, while Magenta decides whether she’s worth acknowledging. In this song, Rubie feels loss, longing and detachment for someone who doesn’t exist. She is grieving her other half. (continue in notes and credits)
