[mymanyfandomramblings]

god i love these dorks

im still figuring out how i want to draw them

[mymanyfandomramblings]

out of curiosity how old are your fankids? Mine are in their early to late teens but not everybody’s is like that so I’m curious now

Yay! Questions about the fankids!!

So there's a bit of a wide spread in their ages (and also it's hard to pin down the 'age' for a kid because they are always growing up, but I'll go with the 'age they tend to be at when I imagine them having shenanigans'). Millie and Eddie are about seventeen, Clementine is sixteen, Julius is about ten-eleven, and Jack is about six. The younger two are not really allowed to be joining in their older cousins in their shenanigans--because they're too young and their magic is either severely underdeveloped verging on nonexistent (Julius) or wildly unpredictable (Jack), but somehow they end up tagging along and becoming Clementine's responsibility (and to Clemmie's credit, she's very responsible).

Thanks for asking!!

[mymanyfandomramblings]

[mymanyfandomramblings]

i said the other day I might have to show you guys my TOH next-gen kiddos, right? well I'm following through with that! Here are The Kiddos, the future Hexsquad! All the art was done by @staywithmegoatkatniss

Going in age order, oldest to youngest:

[ALT TEXT:

Millie Noceda

FULL NAME: Millie Azura Noceda

Named after Camila and also Mildred Featherwhyle

Has a smaller bile sac than your average witch, and as such, tires easily and runs her magic down quickly

Extremely enthusiastic when it comes to solving mysteries, and academically brilliant. She is, however, somewhat lacking common sense.

Loves history

VERY indecisive

Prone to meddling in other people’s business, and trying to solve their problems

Is determined to use abomination tech to invent time travel

She’s the older twin and VERY vocal about it

Grudgby star

Hexside Tracks: Abominations, Oracle, Potions

Eddie Noceda

FULL NAME: Eddie Manuel Noceda

Named ‘Eddie’ after both Eda and also Edric and Emira. His middle name is after Luz’s dad.

Millie’s younger twin brother

Like his sister, his smaller-than-average bile sac results in him having less magic to spare.

He lacks the usual analytical skills necessary for Construction and Abomination magic, but he uses Illusions to help visualise what he wants to create

He’s a very hands-on person

Loves adventure and has zero survival instincts at all. As such, he’s constantly getting himself into scrapes

Considers himself and Millie to be Edric and Emira’s successors.

He and King are besties

Hexside Tracks: Abominations, Illusions, Constructions

[ALT TEXT

Clementine Park

FULL NAME: Clementine Lupin Park

She’s a year younger than Eddie and Millie

Like her cousins, having one parent with no bile sac has ramifications for her magical abilities, resulting in her being quite a late bloomer, and even once her magic does develop, her proficiency is limited to healing magic. She is, however, very good at healing.

She’s a very nurturing person, and makes it her business to look after her cousins—who are constantly in trouble

She’s secretly Camila’s favourite granddaughter—unsurprising, considering how much they have in common

She loves looking after abandoned palismen

She does occasionally get fed up with being the ‘‘responsible one” of her cousins.

Hexside Track: Healing

FULL NAME: Julius Freddie Porter

As a result of being half-human (his mom was human), Julius’s bile sac takes until witch puberty to develop, meaning no magic for him just yet, and as such, attends school in the human realm for now. He’s a very adept glyph user, though.

Always wears hats to hide that he has one round ear and one pointed ear--something he is very insecure about

He’s been raised between the human and demon realm, and having an ambassador and freelance travel writer for parents means that his family has never stayed in the same place long.

In between all the moving as well as losing his mother at four years old, Julius has developed some attachment issues. He’s also quietly quite resentful towards his father for his upbringing and the fact that he doesn’t feel like he fits into either realm. He also has a surprisingly morbid sense of humour

He’s an extremely curious and academic kid

Five years younger than Clementine

Plans to study potions because it plays well to his analytical strengths, and also because it works if his powers never come through. He wants to do beastkeeping so the cousins have a full complement.

Future Hexside Tracks: Potions, Beastkeeping

[ALT TEXT:

Jack Park

FULL NAME: Jack Bailey Park

Named after Flapjack

Is ten years younger than Clementine (he was a surprise!)

Has a galderstone heart, which has caused his bile sac to develop in weird and wonderful ways—his magic presents from very young and is very strong and also extremely intuitive. Even he hasn’t fully figured out how to control it.

A total bookworm—he can usually be found up a tree, with a book. He particularly loves Cosmic Frontier

Has been climbing trees since he could walk—he freaks his parents out that way, but thanks to his affinity with plants, he’s never fallen.

Extremely chill. The chillest kid you will ever meet.

He has a beautiful singing voice

Future Hexside Tracks: Plants, Bard

There they are! Feel free to ask questions--they all come with more detailed backstories and info.

(and yes, Millie and Eddie are Lumity kids, Clementine and Jack are Huntlow kids, and Julius is a Gus x OC kid, if you couldn't tell)

Galinda in "No One Mourns the Wicked" is so funny.

some kid asks "hey why are people wicked"

and Galinda's like "well that's a very complicated question. you see, the witch's mother cheated on her father with a travelling salesman and drank this weird green elixir in the process, which turned the resulting baby bright green. and the witch's mother's husband never loved the affair baby because she was green and also everyone bullied her so her life was really rough. so it couldnt have been easy"

and then she's take off-guard when someone asks if they were friends

I am in no way advocating for a live-action TOH (I cannot stress enough that I am Not Advocating For A Live Action TOH), but I do have a Vision, and that Vision is Bowen Yang as Adrian Graye

sometimes writing fanfic means putting in copious research into an entirely different media so that you can parody it accurately

I nearly tripped over a chair so my sister came over, patted my head and announced ‘this bad boy can fit soooo many mishaps in her *slaps roof of [mymanyfandomramblings]*

No, but y'all don't know how much this scene haunts me. After verbally (and physically) abusing Hunter in the most manipulative and victim-blamey way for not bringing him palismen, Belos says "I know you can do better, Hunter."

And Hunter smiles.

Belos was just talking about how Hunter is failing not only as but as a person. He called into question whether or not Hunter deserved to be taken in and cared for in any way at all because he didn't do this one thing. Hunter doesn't deserve what he has, he's not earning his place, because he's not doing enough. He's not trying hard enough.

So Hunter tries to offer his help! Because he does care and he is trying, and Belos almost slices his face because he's not supposed to suggest wild magic. Belos scolds him for that, and then immediately turns it back into shaming him for failing the palismen mission. By comparing the pain of his curse to the pain of watching Hunter fail. Because it's Hunter's fault he failed, and Hunter is actively hurting his uncle as much as his curse that literally turns him into goop is by doing it.

And then, like the manipulative bitch he is, Belos says "I know you can do better." Implying that Hunter is making a choice to not be good enough. That he could be if he tries harder. That it's his fault.

And. Hunter. Smiles.

Because in his mind, Belos is saying that he believes in him. Yes, it's also a reminder that Hunter is a failure, but that's Hunter's fault, not Belos's. Hunter doesn't deserve another chance--he hasn't earned one--but Belos is so kind and generous that he's offering the possibility of one. He believes in Hunter, even when he makes it clear Hunter doesn't deserve it. That just makes Hunter so much more loyal and desperate, because not only Belos' approval possible to achieve if he just tries harder, but Belos is trying to help him get there when he "shouldn't."

It's so chillingly calculated so that Hunter stays desperately loyal, has low self-esteem, and is constantly on his toes, but doesn't sink so deeply into despair that he completely gives up pleasing Belos. There's just enough of a chance of getting his approval, just enough positive interactions that Hunter craves them, but not enough to actually make him feel fulfilled or safe. So he'll just keep doing whatever Belos says, and Belos knows it.

Belos literally says "I know you can do better than being a complete useless, selfish failure >:(" and Hunter thinks, "Ah yes, an undeserved compliment from my dear uncle, he's so generous :)" His worldview has been so manipulated and distorted he thinks not only does he not deserve encouragement, but that this is what encouragement is. A backhanded "compliment" that's really just a veiled threat. Like, damn is he going to have a lot of difficulty communicating with people (esp authority figures); he has a completely different understanding of what so many words/actions mean due to Belos's manipulation.

We know this DIVA ✨

[mymanyfandomramblings]

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.
