#Fable HOBW

[nagarashi]

Yes. Always yes.

... because I love drama, weed, suffering and angst :D

Self-destructive attraction to each other? Yeah.

Forbidden love? Of course!

Toxic relationship? Yep.

[annoyed-galaxy]

You know I had to do it.

Barbie and Ken meme featuring Albion’s notorious sibling duo, Logan and Aelyn.

What did they do? Aelyn blew up Reaver’s mansion probably. Property damage, arson, the likes. Just because she’s queen doesn’t mean she can get away with arson.

Meme format and details under the cut.

If you haven’t seen it, here’s the meme.

When I saw people drawing their characters like this for the first time, I knew I had to do this. There are so many characters I could have chosen, but it’s been a while since I drew the Fable siblings so thought it was perfect.

I’ve been using procreate lately since I got an iPad solely for that and have been trying to find brushes similar to the old ones I had on CSP. I’ve had no luck, but have a lot of other cools brushes that may help me develop new art styles. Including the above style. I found these really nice ink and ink wash brushes and really wanted to use them. I think they work wonderfully for silly meme art like this. It has a very nice cartoon look to it. It’s also just been super amazing to be able to draw wherever. I have more motivation to draw since I can carry this tablet with me everywhere. Much less of a hassle to hook up a drawing tablet to my computer and then actually have to sit down at the computer and draw.

Some details about the drawings themselves: When trying to decide what to replace the LAPD with, I wondered what would the police force in Albion be considered. I went with ARG which is for Albion Royal Guard. Because who else can arrest the queen and prince? I also wanted to make the plates look wooden since Albion is y’know, ye olden days. And then there’s the height things. If you look closely, you can see what I headcanon Logan’s height to be and what Aelyn’s height to be. I could have left those background pieces out, but I thought it would be cool to add that little bit of detail. I also wanted it to look like the names and such were painted on so that one brush came in clutch to add to the aesthetic.

And finally, as always, here are the lovely speedpaints.

(I am just now realizing that I have not drawn Aelyn and Logan in a serious piece at all. They’ve always been shitposts. Might need to fix that…)

it's taken me long enough, But, I'd like to introduce you to my Hero of Brightwall, and Sparrows daughter, Maeve!

He wanted to name her Rose, however her being his eldest daughter and being slightly superstitious he was worried it may cause a self-fulfilling prophecy, and so named Her Maeve instead. He planned to name his second daughter Rose instead, though, he never managed to have a third child.

Her and Logan were very close up until Sparrows death.

GIRLFAILURE hero of brightwall Caspian Penbrook.

I've posted her on my other acc before but I wanna artpost here more often 💖💖 also I am one of those fable fools whose hobw is reaver's kid. I know I'm not the only one. reaver spawn hobw havers rise up

her pronouns are she/he but I refer to her using she/her mostly. she canonically does not really mind either way and her gender identity is a little bit complicated LMAO

she has been so special to me for the past two years I literally know every single detail about her

[dearest-and-nearest]

For a while ago I made a shipping video for Princess x Logan, because there's no normal explanation for some of his lines (okay, maybe there is, but what sounds normal from brother to brother starts to sound... strange from brother to sister)

[hnnn-fable]

I have an ideal Reaver's Mansion scenario in my mind, and it involves having Ben Finn there, being able to dance with either Page or Ben Finn if you wish, and lots of battle banter where everyone is getting on everyone's nerves :)

[thisisntreaver]

I do find it kinda funny that if you play as a fem hobw you don't get a ladies maid, you still get Jasper. It implies that Logan just doesn't not know enough about other nobility to know that most brothers in his position would have hired a woman to take care of their sisters, not their advisors boyfriend.

stubbed my fucking toe while posting this

This probably isn't a new headcanon or anything but I gotta share my thoughts.

In my mind, the reason why there are two different hero weapons in the Sanctuary is because one was supposed to go to each of Sparrow's children. The hammer for Logan, the sword for the HoBW, the pistol for Logan, the rifle for the HoBW.

They're living weapons that change with their users. You can't tell me Sparrow — the master blacksmith — didn't create them on their own.

The Sanctuary was meant for BOTH royal siblings. Sparrow couldn't have imagined what Theresa was going to do, pitting them against each other like she did for the "gReAtEr GoOd."

I also can't imagine Sparrow would ever refer to Theresa as their guide after she used them for decades to get control of the Spire. If Sparrow had known, I think they would have warned Logan and the HoBW not to trust anything the blind seer says.

And maybe it's my own bias but I can't imagine Sparrow leaving everything magical to their secondborn child. There's no way in hell Sparrow could have known only one of their children would have overt Hero abilities. Sparrow only manifested their powers in their 20s so when they died, they fully could have thought Logan would be capable of using magic and accessing the Sanctuary.

(And I refuse to believe Logan got NOTHING from his heroic bloodline, he just can't use Will abilities)

I don't know. It just feels to me that the HoBW was given the things meant for Logan but that might be projecting the fact that Logan was my Sparrow's favorite child lmao

Like yes Albion needed a fully manifested Hero leading the fight but if/when destiny called on their children (aka Theresa being manipulative again) I can't see Sparrow expecting them to fight in any way other than together.

So they were each left a weapon and a wish from a parent who adores them both that when the hell comes knocking at their door they would face it together. Sparrow took every horror on alone. They would never wish that on their children.

tldr: I headcanon that Sparrow made the hero weapons themselves expecting both Logan and the Hero to work together and make use of them. They weren't able to because Theresa meddled and their children were manipulated the same way they were

We all love Ben for being there for the HoBw at the end of game despite all your choices, good or bad, including not executing a man who humiliated and murdered one of the only father figures he has left in front of an entire kingdom. In front of him. (I say 'one of' because I always felt Walter was somewhat of a father figure to him as well, but that's more headcanon than anything and a talk for another day.) But despite being praised, I feel it's not often talked about the exact reason why he does this. Does he obviously care deeply about the HoBw? Yes, without a doubt. You can tell they share a close relationship in the game and are important to each other, that's no secret. And I do believe that that, along with Ben being a deeply loyal person, is the major reason. But, I also feel like the underlying reason is more often than not ignored. Ben empathizes with the Hobw. He's, probably, the only person in that throne room who truly feels and understands their pain. Ben had 3 brothers whom he loved greatly, but also knew were questionably bad people. He knew that they were criminals who were led down dark paths consisting of multiple bad choices and more than shaky morals that ultimately led to their demise. But he loved them anyway. They were his family, his world, and he mourned each of them greatly when they passed. So he gets it. He gets that sometimes...things are simply more complicated than good or bad, especially when it comes to family, and despite his anger and his wish to see Logan pay for what he did to Swift, he also doesn't want his best friend, someone who he probably considers family as well at this point, to go through what he did; to mourn the loss of someone who, if things had been different, could have been an amazing person and brother. In this essay I will-

Tagged by @kirnet to share some recent WIPs which I have plenty of right now! TBH I have a huge backlog of art, so I’ll have to sit down and put it all together to share at some point. For now, take what I’m currently working on :)

The top 2 are from a series of portraits I want to do for some of my Fable characters, and the other is for an original project I’m working on (which I cant show everything for that, but I have a lot of art dedicated to it so far. I think I finally have a name for it though so I’ll start tagging it as such)

[nagarashi]

No, I will...

[annoyed-galaxy]

Alright I wanna make my own damn poll.

Fable fandom, let's go.

[decaying-raven-scratch]

sketches of the family

Sparrow is such a dedicated father for them, Reaver is more like a wine aunt I suppose, rare visits and too much money

[v0id-seajay]

okay I tried to post this with like the longest caption known to man explaining what's going on in this painting but it deleted itself so I think that was my sign to stop yapping. this is my hero of brightwall caspian, I've posted her before, every time I think about her for too long she gets worse. she's like the worst ever. but this drawing is in her brief normal girl era where she stops being an asshole to the kingdom and the people around her. significance of the background is that reaver is her father (I KNOWWW 😭) and the gazebo thing in the middle of bower lake is where she got married. ALSO she dies one year after this down by the lake. the picnic over to the side is a lot to explain but it has to do with her weird situationship with a priest if anyone's interested I'll post more about that it's kinda crazy

[lazyroseart]

Sparrow being a mom and spending time with babies she loves so much. They fall asleep every time when Sparrow reads to them.

Logan as a kid had a little bit of curl to his hair while his sister Antoinette has curl/wavy hair and inherited beauty mark like dad *looks at Reaver*
