#Isabela with short hair

[cheaploafs]

they spoil her i won’t even deny that

[shorthairheaven]

Isabela Merced

[heartsong1994]

Some of them with short hair is not that bad, actually looks cute.

I've always seen fanarts of them with long hairstyles. But, what about the short ones? ✨

[sunlight-shunlight]

i wish bioware had not somehow regressed with their female characters. none of the veilguard female companions have a strong personality. they're all kind, soft, never overconfident or angry or abrasive, never have any unexpected hidden agendas, have no moral lines that they'll ever get angry with the pc about or leave the party for. and all extremely conventionally attractive and feminine. in 2024... not even a single woman can have like. mildly short hair? bleak 💀

even morrigan is now nice and polite? somehow flemythal reconciled with her offscreen and proved herself to be an Okay Mom™ rather than someone that morrigan hated and feared and spent years hiding from? flemythal gave up on all that stuff about revenge and betrayal and reckoning or whatever, and is now just another hapless victim of solas' schemes? mythal(2) doesn't want revenge either and is basically just there to manage solas' emotions? mythal(1) also having vallaslin and presumably slaves, despite being the "best of the evanuris" is never mentioned? NONE of these various iterations of mythal ever show autonomy in terms of doing anything unrelated to solas? isabela cares about cultural appropriation in the exact same way a modern liberal would, despite being a pirate whose main incentive is profit? her outfit is now even more sexualized, but this time in a grossly stereotypical bellydancer costume way? AUGH.

are women only allowed to look unconventional or be rude or morally murky, only if they're either minor characters, or one-note enemies with no chance at dialogue with them during their quests? andraste didn't die for this. bioware had better women characters way back in the kotor 1 era, by the incredibly low bar of "can they be rude or weird looking and still shown as sympathetic and interesting people". that bar is literally on the floor and they dug under it!

i guess it's not technically(?) sexist bc they did also make everyone else incredibly soft and mild too, but oh my god. if this is what's coming out of Progressive™ AAA companies we're in a really cringe fail cultural moment. it does not spark joy💀

[sinizade]

Isabela Remake

I'll be honest, I HATE THOSE RAGS THAT ISABELA WEARS IN THE GAME, like, idk she so deserved to have more pirate sensuality and not just a short dress with a big cleavage on her breasts

I think it would be an interesting idea that, like Fenris, her hair changes as the acts go by.

[gadriezmannsgirl]

Hi!!! I absolutely LOVE your work and I was wondering if you could write a fic with pablo in which they are at some sort of gathering with friends and the reader is playing with the kids because she just loves kids and they love her, & pablo and everyone else watches them?

Who Knows? -P.G6

Summary: Your fiancée loves watching you, little did you know what was he along with your family, thinking of

"¡Venga, que tú eres la princesa más linda!" (C'mon, you're the prettiest princess!) You say smiling at your fiancée's, Pablo; 6 year old cousin, Micaela

"But you're the queen of the kingdom!" You smile while you hear Jesús, Pablo's cousin, yell in excitement "And I'll marry you so I will be the king!"

"Not too sure about that, amigo" Pablo's voice came in as he finished his plate "She's my soon-to-be wife" You, yours and Pablo's family started to laugh at Gavi's bickering with his youngest relative

"Y/N, can you do my make up? Princess wear it to look prettier"

"You don't have the age to use make up yet baby, but you don't need it either way, you're the prettiest princess just the way you are, Nads" You said to your cousin, Nadia fixing her fairy wings before kissing her cheek

"Stop looking at her like you wanna get her pregnant right away" His sister said

"I kinda want to"

"Gosh, you're gross"

"Says the one who's five months pregnant!" He barks at Aurora softly and thankfully she laughed it off as his gaze went back to yours "She's so good with kids" He whispered softly

"She is" Your mom chimmed in taking away the dishes "She has always loved kids and kids love her" She whispers before kissing Pablo's hair and patting his shoulder

"You think I could be a good dad?" He asks worried "She's just so good, like she's natural"

"Parenting it's a thing that takes time, in fact, you never stop learning, you make mistake but you also do right decisions. And I bet the two of you will be amazing with both good and bad moments" Your mom says before smiling and leaving both siblings alone

"No, it fell!" Your voice brings Pablo back to you as he sees you and the kids surprised because of the fall of the lego tower

"You're truly in love with her" His aunt, says with a smile "And don't worry, she's too into you as well" Pablo smiled softly blushing

"But take it easy" His dad said, every eye looking at you and the kids playing "Enjoy your alone time, get married and enjoy it as well and when your time is right, there will be a Páez Y/L/N on the way and you'll be the greatest parents for them, hijo"

°°° °°° °°° °°°

We can take this as a PRE GENDER REVEAL, before Y/N and Pablito got married and everything, I think it could fit in the GR Universe😭 let me know if you think the same so I can link it as well with GR. I also know this is incredibly short but I hope you guys like it😭, please let me know if you like it in the comments or reblogs (with likes too), feedback is really really appreciated!

Instead Came Your Arms

Alistair x f!Hawke | E | WC: 43,500 (Complete) | DA2, Act 3 | Second Chances | Assassination Plot | Grief | Hurt/Comfort | Fast Burn | Fereldan Politics | Exiled Alistair | Angst with a Happy Ending | Flangst

I am so excited to finally share the fic that I blasted out (lovingly) from mid-March to early May for the @templartationsexchange. I was fortuitously matched with Starrshine Girl and was instantly inspired by an ask for an Alistair x f!Hawke fic (though we did not match on that pairing).

The idea I had was this: what if I smash two people at rock bottom together like cupcakes? Then I went fully insane. Please enjoy!

Summary:

In the wake of her mother’s murder and the Qunari invasion of Kirkwall, Flora Hawke is adrift in grief and guilt. When she rescues a hapless drunk and fellow Fereldan from attempted murder in the midst of a street brawl, she’s astonished to learn the man had once pretended to the Fereldan Throne. Six years exiled from his homeland, freshly installed in Kirkwall in search of work and purpose, Alistair wakes from a rough night in an unexpected predicament: stashed for safekeeping in the home of the Champion of Kirkwall. Holed up together in Flora’s empty home, the pair work to uncover an assassination plot against the would-be king before it catches up to him. Tangled in parallels and coincidences, still battling their own shadows, Flora and Alistair surrender to the pull between them and find their way back into the light.

Excerpt below the cut 👇

Flora Hawke carves a slurry of food and the sticky remnants of mead and ale from a checked bit of the table with a dagger, her face scrunched at nothing and everything. The soupy Solace air followed her into The Hanged Man and her sweaty short stay heaps regret onto her bitter mood. A year ago, Isabela would have been sitting across from her, bottle rolling against her cheek, appraising her frankly until Flora would look up and tell her to spit it out, whatever it was. But there’s too much to spit out and the empty space across from her mocks her.

She paid attention to everything but the things that mattered.

Little sisters. Bootleg relics. Lilies.

A sheaf of dark hair tumbles over her face as she scrapes the sludge on the edge of the table. She leaves it for the same reason she’d left her stupid kaddis smear in its pot. Flora doesn’t want to be seen. The only regular who’d dare pester her is out— she’d timed her presence to coincide with a guild meeting Varric couldn’t weasel out of. Only Norah is blinkered enough to bother her each time she whisks close, a woman who knows everyone’s business and hasn’t a clue what to do with it.

“Gracing us with your presence again, then, Hawke?” she says in her naked Lowtown drawl.

It forces Flora to wrangle with why she’s come. Sparing Orana, Bodahn and Sandal her apathy is a flimsy lie she cooked up to cover for this restless craving inside her. She wanted the energy of this place, its lumbering chaos. And though nothing quite stops the mill of paralyzing thoughts, the apian hum of conversation twitches in her belly with a forgotten warmth.

Closer to the bar is a piteous installment, hair the color of dirty bathwater stringy around his glazed face. His beard is born of neglect rather than intention, and though they could use a wash, his clothes are decently tailored. Whoever he is, he’s got the familiar hunch of a hollowed out man, curling his body around his failures. It looks enough like her own slump that she’s mostly ignored him, but now the brandy he’s been tossing back speaks.

“You there. What’s your name, beautiful?”

Slurring aside, it appears he’s attempting to flirt. This should be good.

“It’s Norah, love. Get you another?”

Norah’s never been one to stop someone from drinking themselves blind so long as the coin flows.

“Love,” he sings back, surprised. “People aren’t supposed to be nice these days, you know. But I guess you didn’t get that missive.” Unexpectedly loquacious.

“Can’t say I did. What’s got you in a pucker, love?”

His head lolls as he lifts it and he fashions a smile behind that scruffy beard.

“Very little so long as you’re nearby.” Not bad for a man right clattered.

Norah balls her hands on her hips and lifts her brow in that magical way she does, her artful skepticism opening up patrons like tins of anchovies.

“I’m in exile,” he drawls, intoxication only brightening the Fereldan color of his voice.

He must be new in town.

“Ohhh. Fancy,” she says, flouncing to the bar for another brandy. “Haven’t heard that one recently. What’d you do?”

A whole table full of off-shift foundry workers twist and lean, craning to look at this latest bit of gristle to chew. They’re mostly unfamiliar, a bunch of townie-types possessed with an abundance of fierce pride and little else. They’d give up their front teeth just to prove Lowtown’s might.

Or defend a native maid from the covetous eyes of a Fereldan cur.

The man flops back in his chair, smiling up at Norah like it’s the last tool in his bloody kit.

“Looked a bit too much like the king for comfort. I’ve got his nose, you see. Can’t be having that.”

A surly voice sails across the room.

“Ain’t got no kings in the Marches!”

The locals perk up. Oh joy. Flora braces herself for that kind of night. While she hasn’t exactly been around, it’s been a spell since the place quivered with barely contained savagery. So ends the brittle peace that followed the expulsion of the Qunari.

“Riiiight. You’re free,” he says to nobody, sloshing his cup around as he gestures quotation marks.

“Yer a bloody wet dog, aren’t ye?”

“Now now. How about you fine gentlemen mind your pretty faces and let a man forget himself for another half hour.”

Norah returns with a pint and watches as the rubes dig in, sparring with the man who seems wholly unmoved by their contempt. Instead he delights in the acid repartee.

“There’s a mouth on that one,” she observes. “For better or worse. Needling that lot?” Norah shakes her head.

“He’s going to get the piss knocked out of him if he keeps going,” Flora grumbles. “You’d think in the five years since the Blight ended they’d find something else to entertain them besides harassing the nearest Fereldan, but here we are.”

“The glue that binds them,” sighs Norah, wiping her hands on a cloth. Flora slips from the conversation, reflexively scanning the foundry workers and the Fereldan for weapons they didn’t turn in at the bar. Corff had once dubbed her his favorite employee for the number of fights she’d squelched over the years.

“Good to see you,��Champion. Place isn’t the same without you.”

Maker. It was only a matter of time before they laid the name on her. The honorific hadn’t been bestowed without provisos, ones she doesn’t have the energy to outwit at the moment. And so the title sticks like a splinter, at least until she surfaces long enough to make proper use of it. If she ever does.

Flora watches again, grateful for the distraction. The drunk has fobbed them off for a few minutes, but she doesn’t trust the truce. Their taunts may have settled, but their smoldering ire is still firmly trained upon him. A precise puff of air is all it would take to ignite it into a proper blaze.

It’s unclear if he’s itching for a fight or a licking, not that he has a prayer for the former. Any capability he might have had is swallowed up in languor. He’s big inside that deceptive slouch, shoulders piled up with muscle like a farrier.

The man catches her looking.

“Aren’t you a curious one,” he says. For a fleeting instant, Flora thinks there might be a dish underneath all the neglect. “See anything interesting?”

“Not in the way you’re thinking, Serah,” she answers, raising her ale to him. He leans back to admire her, glazed like a Maker-forsaken fruit tart. She needs his attention like a hot poker to the eye.

“Well. I’ll be here all night,” he mumbles, still smiling. “If your tune changes.”

AS SAID BY ISABELA - REMARKS AND COMMENTS *  assorted combat dialogue and other remarks from dragon age II

someone needs a good spanking!

you're leaving? just like that? what about sex?

if you're not going to get drunk with me, i'm afraid i can't take you seriously.

you thought i was going to say something dirty.

i feel i should say... something.

family's not just the people you're related to by blood. there are other people who care about you.

i'm sorry, i don't speak "never-gets-sex-again."

looking for a ditch to lay face down in? i can recommend one.

i think i need a bath. do you think i need a bath?

your death toll is approaching natural disaster.

if we kill them, we get their stuff!

trust me, it's better this way.

now this needs to be convincing. and you'll need to get creative.

come on, haven't you ever wanted to slap me? just a little?

the more the merrier, i suppose!

now you're making me nervous.

you know what they say about men like that, don't you?

i'm too far away! what do you want me to do, shout at them?

i'll make you cry for your mother!

watch out for the squirrels. they can be vicious little bastards.

something about this place is unsettling. it's like... underwear that never quite sits right.

need a hand? why yes! yes i do!

oh look at them! they're like kittens who want to eat you.

you hit like my grandmother.

i need a good, long sleep when i get home.

we had a short-lived drinking game based on how many enemies you have. it killed a man.

nothing like a near-death experience to get the blood pumping.

oh... i need a drink.

your hair looks funny in this light.

you're like an itch i can't scratch. or something. i'm not good at metaphors.

what's that foul smell? is that you?

being close to death is very bad for my morale.

i'm going to need to catch my breath!

and they say drinking never solves anything!

i need a stiff one... and a drink.

smells like smoke, burning metal, and aeons of misery.

you take me to all the nice places.

shall i give it a go?

time for a drink!

don't you die on me!

don't mind me, it's just a flesh wound.

ah, i'm all right. who needs kidneys anyways?

oh, let's not do that again.

can you imagine how sore you'd be if it was your job to bury all of these idiots?

[hannahhook7744]

Marisol Rivera Madrigal Headcanons;

Her full name is Marisol Carmela Victoria Rivera Madrigal.

She is eleven years old by d3 and a triplet (the other 2/3s are named Marcelo and Mariana Rivera Madrigal). 

She has two younger sisters who are five and six respectively named Renata and Vera. 

She has the gift of Geokinesis (aka Earth Bending). 

She is the oldest daughter of Miguel Rivera and Mirabel Madrigal (the oldest triplet by three minutes).

She has her father's skin tone (she's a bit darker than her mom) when she's older with short choppy black hair and dark brown eyes. Has scars on her feet from accidents with her gift and one under her hair from dropping a ton of rocks on her hair.

She's been told that she looks like her tía Isabela, her bisabuela Alma, and her parental great-great-great grandmother, Imelda. Which considering she gets along with the three of them the best (or imagines she would in the case of Imelda), she takes enormous pride in. 

She's also been told she has her father's smile. 

Her birthday is October 25th—making Marcelo, Mariana, and her all Scorpios. 

Marisol thinks astrology and astronomy are interesting. She also really likes Antonio, Bruno, and Isabela's rooms because she thinks they're cool. 

The eleven year old also really loves bows and insists that bows are cool.

Her favorite colors are pink, green, light blue, and white. But mainly pink. 

She, however, despises the color ‘yellow’. 

Marisol's favorite aunt is Isabela and she doesn't even try to hide it. 

While she says that she doesn't have a favorite holiday because it's ‘childish’, her favorite holiday is actually Ancestry Day. It's Marisol’s favorite because she loves learning about her family history. 

Marisol has helped Marcelo write down his recipes and has made a little book about their family with him and Mariana as practice for when they’re grown ups (since she and Mariana both want to work with books when they're older). 

Marisol is a student at the Encanto's only public school for now but fully intends on intending Auradon Prep or another school outside of the Encanto once she's old enough.

She wants to go to college like her primas Princesa and Elmira.

Her choice of school currently is Sherwood University. 

Marisol also enjoys writing and reading and really wants to be an author, narrator, or professional audiobook reader when she grows up. Though she'd settle for a director or a script writer if she couldn't have any of her top three picks. 

She's really insecure about how her voice sounds. 

She collects rocks. 

She pretends that she gets dragged into her siblings and cousins’ shenanigans but the truth is she causes just as many shenanigans and is just better at hiding it.

Casita adores her and the rest of her siblings the most out of her generation, but she is the clear favorite since Casita will help her sneak out occasionally (as shown below in the concept art).

Marisol is fascinated by Isabela's creations—her potato people especially—and plays with them often. 

Bruno is her favorite great uncle because he tells the best stories and he lets her play with his rats. 

Marisol (as shown in this concept art) often reads out stories for the potato people and Bruno's rats to act out…. It's gotten out of hand more times than she'd like to admit it. 

Despite the fact that her siblings often annoy her with their refusal to ‘act like adults’, Marcelo and Mariana are her clear favorites in the sibling category.

Belinda is her favorite cousin because ‘they are the only ones who know how to act like adults’. 

Marisol desperately wants to be seen as mature and responsible, because she wants to be treated as an adult (aka grow up too soon). She actually matures as she gets older though and stops putting too much emphasis on it. 

She is single and uninterested in romance currently, and Barbara Hood, Maria Hood, Gronosis of Camelot, Garanwyn of Camelot, and Tulip Rossi.

Also it should be noted that if you have a problem with Marisol's siblings or cousins (especially Marcelo and Mariana), then you have a problem with her because she will absolutely not be friends with someone who shit talks her family in more than a friendly manner. Only she can be mean to her family, thank you very much. 

Marisol has been described as easily annoyed/irritable, independent, solemn, sneaky, introverted, well-mannered, curious, rational, and clever. But she's also been described as brave, creative, graceful, imaginative, and intuitive.

She can also be really insecure and paranoid, though she tries not to show it. 

Marisol has a pet groundhog that Antonio gave her named Clover. She adores him. 

She also has a worm and ant farm. Yes, she's named all of them individually. 

The bow Marisol is seen constantly wearing was a gift from Isabela. 

The eleven year old once refused to believe that Santa Claus was real for three years until she and her siblings saw him with their very own eyes. 

She also used to be really jealous of Mariana because she thought that since she was named after Isabela, that meant Mariana was Isabela's favorite and not her (spoiler: Mariana is not Isabela's favorite). 

Her favorite animals are dogs, worms, ants, moles, and groundhogs. 

She destress-es by taking long bubble baths.

Her favorite band is The Dragon Slayers and her favorite song of theirs is ‘Take Back The Knight’: she has their band poster in their room. 

Her second favorite musician is Celia Cruz and her third favorite is a tie between Mirabel Madrigal, Hector Rivera, and Miguel Rivera but if anyone asks her she’ll say that her parents are her first favorite because she doesn’t want to hurt their feelings. 

Marisol is not very interested in video games but occasionally plays them when her siblings, cousins, and friends bug her enough—her favorite of these games is ‘Plants Vs. Dragons’. 

Marisol won’t admit it but she’s terrified of dragons. 

Her favorite movie is ‘Spookley the Square Pumpkin’.

She is subscribed to some of the Auradon magazines (Dolores and Isabela got her hooked on them)—Royal Digest, Vanity Fairy, and National Aristocratic in particular. 

Marisol is up to date on all of the gossip at Auradon Prep and other schools because her cousins tell her everything (that’s age appropriate). They’ve also given her articles from the school and she is absolutely enamoured with the mystery of the ‘lunchroom stalker’ (whoever recorded the footage in the cafeteria) and insists that it was either Lonnie or Jordan. 

Her favorite vk is Evie and her least favorite is Mal. Not because of anything she’s done, she’s just scared because Mal can turn into a dragon. 

This has backfired because they told her about the Madam Mim Dragon Incident and the Maleficent Dragon Incident, which only made her more scared of them. 

Everyone thinks that Mariana was the worst of the triplets when they were toddlers but if anyone were to ask Mirabel and Miguel they would actually point out that it was Marisol, who all the adults remember as a little terror (seen here).

She often sits in her windowsill to read.

When Marisol gets stressed/has a breakdown, the plants in her room start dying and she is unable to remove any of her books from their shelves because they grow longer the more she tries. Sometimes books even fly with the aim to hit someone when she's overwhelmed instead of just floating to her as they usually do (as shown below).

She has a lantern that uses to get around her room and Casita at night.

As seen by Bruno in a vision, this is what she looks up as an adult (as shown below).

The eleven year old has told Marcelo that she will, under no circumstances, ever try the isle food because it will likely kill her due to how health code violations aren’t a thing over there—and she’s also recommended he not try it either. This caused many arguments between the two and Mariana, who of course, had her own opinion.

She also refuses to put any of the hair care products or potions /medicines from there anywhere on or in her person without testing it on something first because she claims it’s risky.

The earth bender wants to have social media (mainly InsyaRoyal) so badly but her parents refuse to allow it until she’s at least the age Mirabel was when Casita fell, much to her disappointment. They let her watch Auratube though.

Her favorite channel in Auradon is Fairy Planet and her favorite Auradon shows are ‘Little Dwarves, Big Giants’ and ‘Aurora The Explorer.’ She also likes ‘Auradon’s Classiest Home Videos’ but she can’t stand ‘The Young And The Crownless’.

She also secretly likes ‘Real Princesses Of Charmingsville’ but can’t really be open about that because technically she’s not allowed to be watching it (Isabela and Dolores both let her watch it).

She has a stuffed rat that her mom made her as a baby that she named ‘Pinkie’.

Jordan is her favorite Auratuber.

Her favorite food that Julieta makes is “Make Your Family Proud” Sticky Rice Arroz atollado (which is Julieta’s favorite food too) and her favorite dessert she makes is Guava and Cheese Mini Bites Bocadillo Con Queso. Her favorite drink is Passion Fruit Butterfly Bliss.

Marisol has been nicknamed Mari, Sol, little earth, little soil, Rompetierras, Pequeña rompehielos, and little earth shaker. Depending on who is calling her what, she may or may not respond.

Her favorite place to visit in Auradon is ‘Mad For Tea’.

Marisol was so scared during her gift ceremony that Isabela gave her a flower to give her courage after she slipped away from her parents.

Mariana and Marisol can out argue Isabela and Mirabel, much to everyone’s displeasure.

No one can out argue a Madrigal—even if they're eleven (aka Marisol).

Eventually Marisol gets green and pink, round rimmed glasses that are much like her mother’s when she gets older.

When asked which parent she gets along with better she just shrugs and says she gets along with them both fine enough.

Marisol’s favorite flower is the same as her mother—a daisy.

She works really hard to do well in school but struggles because she has undiagnosed Dysgraphia that she doesn’t want to bother her family with since they’re busy with her cousin and sibling’s (and the adults’) own issues.

Marisol wants to be just like her Tía Isabela, Bisabuela Alma, and her great-great-great grandmother, Imelda, when she grows up.

Her favorite Auradon play is ‘The Old Stand’.

Her door depicts Marisol standing on a floating piece of earth, rocks floating all around her as she examines them.

Her room has a secret passage that leads to several different places... including the kitchen cabinets. It is hidden in a stone wall behind the stone outline of a stone door with an eye on it that she bended into the door (there are other stone carvings on this wall too).

There is a hole in the door outline. When Marisol sticks her makeshift door knob in it, it opens the passage up and allows or her to go through it. It also leads to Bruno's place behind the walls.

Marisol's bed is suspended off the ground by vines and looks a lot like Isabela's bed, but with dark pink and white vertically striped sheets.

Also Casita has done the above to Marisol. But only once because actually no one was happy with her for doing that.

Her room is a wide expanse full of earth and plant life with stone structures like statues, benches, and bridges, but it is not entirely that. There is a little area that is much like a regular room with mint green wallpaper and a wooden floor that is decorated with plants. It has a little area that holds her rock collection on one wall, a wooden stand that holds a tv, a recorder player, and a radio. On another wall, there is a floral writer’s desk where her writing supplies and laptop rest. 

She has a little statue there as well so she can practice the instruments she wants to play. Beside that is a closet that holds her close and the hidden chest in which she hides her ‘baby’ stuff (aka her stuffed animals and blankie). 

Marisol’s walls are decorated with posters, family photos, and drawings.

She also has a wide collection of books and a white board for her to brainstorm on—she also has a circular window that she can sit on above her book cases. It has a stained picture of earth on it. Furthur in her room is another window in which she tends to sneak out of that is big enough for her to easily slip out of. 

The other kids absolutely know that Marisol sneaks out and are sitting on that information for if they ever need a 'get out of jail' card.

Mirabel and Miguel would never say this but they wish she'd stop trying to grow up too fast.

Marisol sometimes feels sad that she's not Vera or Renata's favorite sibling but would deny it if asked (Marcelo is Renata's favorite and Mariana is Vera's favorite older sibling).

Marisol’s favorite candy is fairy bubble gum but she has to sneak it because Alma banned it from the house after it nearly caused Marisol to float off when she was six. Her second favorite is Chocolates Madrigal. 

Her favorite book is a tie between ‘The Tales of Flynnigan Ryder’ and ‘The Little Earth Shaker’.

She's read all of the Fotogramas magazines.

@encantober-official late entry for day 28: Moon!

A short explanation of the premise and a bonus Isabela with a short haircut under the cut!

So, in the place where I live there is (was) a superstition that says that you shouldn't cut your hair when the moon is aging, because it will grow back slower than before. I couldn't find if it is possible that such a superstition could exist in Colombia mid 20th century, but Encanto takes place in a fictional world anyway, so why not.

When I read the list of prompts for Encantober, I somehow connected Moon and Isabela in this thing where she wants to cut her hair to 'start a new life'. I planned the comic to be a joke where she answers Dolores that she hates her long hair and then on the last panel she's like doing gardening with her short hair not getting in the way like the long hair would.

But then I thought that this way I could create like a negative image that now that Isabela is free, she rejects everything feminine that was forced upon her. I might be overthinking it, but ultimately, I'm happy that I changed this comic to have Isabela express her desire to be herself and make her choices without her essentially disliking the way she used to look like.

No other thoughts, it's 4:34 am here, head empty, here's Isabela with short hair

[millermenapologist]

its not lost on me how once the show no longer has a steady male lead and instead focuses on two teenage girls a lot of people have started criticizing the show by calling it a ���cw teen drama”. no one would be saying that if joel was still alive. its condescending as fuck honestly. idk maybe I’m just sensitive

People suddenly started becoming extremely picky the moment season 2 was announced. In one of the TLOU subreddits, the first thing they said was that they better find an actress that's exactly two inches shorter than Bella, to play Dina, because Dina is exactly two inches shorter than Ellie. Then, when some of the first pictures of Isabela were released, they whined that she has piercings and who would ever have piercings in the apocalypse? It's not like she can just... put them into her ears while in Jackson and then leave them there, just like how Joel did with his watch.

They are obsessed with how clean and new their clothes look (which, yes, does make my nose wrinkle too), but never questioned how Joel was able to keep his beard and hair short in season 1, nor how they both were able to find winter coats, gloves, and boots that fit them, nor how they managed to get Ellie an entire new outfit between the place where the Fireflies' car broke down and Jackson.

The "mistakes" were already there but, interestingly, they only matter now and are serious enough to warrant constant waves of criticism.

They don't like that a man isn't leading the story anymore*, and they don't like that the person who was picked to isn't someone they find attractive (because it didn't go lost on me, how so many of the people who criticize the show on TikTok used to also be the ones crying because Cailee Spaeny "deserved" it more and cried because that one cosplayer who sculpts her features with heavy make-up looks more like game Ellie than Bella).

They care about the looks and the fact that a man isn't there anymore, so they refuse to pay attention and are dumbfounded by everything. Like, at this point they're even coming up with random ass plot points that in the game don't happen. Tommy has a very marginal, small role in the plot, and Ellie doesn't find him until she murders Owen and Mel, but if you were to listen to the "reviewers," you'd believe that you're actually following his story (because god forbid you put a woman at the center of the narrative).

It's irritating as fuck, especially because the people who come up with bullshit criticisms then try to shield themselves by coming up with bullshit excuses, usually focused around their autism and how the games are their special interests, rather than admitting that they'd rather die than meaningfully engage with new material that's carried by an actor they don't find fuckable.

What makes me laugh is that they're all screeching that HBO is causing Naughty Dog to die and that the show won't be renewed for a 3rd season when, in reality, Sony has earned at the very least 12 millions in a month because people purchased the game and HBO already announced there's going to be a 3rd season. Like... talk about disconnect from reality.

*because he was never the main character lol. Even the posters were studied to make sure you knew he's not the main character.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Oh, take me back to the night we met - Lord Huron

gently tagging @thedissonantverses @mythals-whore and @caughtnyact

So here's a little something with Cassandra Pentaghast and another crowd favorite companion. TW For for Major Character Death

She pushed the door open and entered the bar, one glance around the low lit room telling her it was empty except for the bartender behind the counter. Music played over the bar’s stereo system, fading easily into the background as she moved towards the bar. She took a stool, and carefully pulled the one next to her out as well before looking towards the bartender. 

The beautiful Rivaini woman met her patron’s gaze, and then pulled two glasses out from under the bar, putting ice in them and pouring a generous amount of whiskey into each. She set one glass in front of her patron, and the second in front of the empty barstool.

Isabela watched the patron as she lifted the glass of whiskey and took a slow sip, before setting the glass back down on the bar all too carefully.

“It’s been awhile, hasn’t it, Cassandra?” Isabela asked softly.

Cassandra ran her fingers through her short cropped dark hair and nodded. “We always meant to come back to Rivain,” she admitted. “Visit the Hilt again. But we never got the chance.” Her eyes turned towards the empty barstool.

“Yeah,” Isabela sighed. “I’m sorry, for what it’s worth.”

“One more trip, he told me,” Cassandra said with a sad smile. “Just one more, Cass, I promise. I believed him. I suppose he wasn’t entirely wrong about it being just one more trip, just not..” her voice trailed off, and Isabela could see the tears in Cassandra’s eyes.

“Just not in the way he intended,” Isabela murmured.

The stereo continued to play, the lyrics of a Lord Huron song filling their ears. “<i>I don’t know what I’m supposed to do haunted by the ghost of you.”</i>

“Take me back to the night we met,” Cassandra’s voice picked up the last words of the song. She lifted the whiskey glass in a toast. “To Varric.”

Isabela did the same. “To Varric.”

🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

I have to post some Encanto Monster AU Headcanon jumpscare right now!!!!! Not everyone, but a few of them!

Isabela - Werewolf (Or, Werejaguar rather) + OK OK OK Hear me out on this one, see my vision????? Most of the time, she looks largely normal with "cute" features that many find appealing like the little kitty ears, fangs, and tail + BUT were-jaguar form is absolutely shit your pants terrifying horrific, something she was made to feel ashamed of for its wildness and unattractiveness + Spends pre-movie full moons fully barricaded in her locked room, tangled up in her own vines to keep herself contained - everything she bottles up comes out and is entirely out of control, her wild side is trying sososo hard to get out and she's literally, physically restraining it + Always ends up with an absolutely shredded room the night after the moon, snaps at anyone who ever mentions it or attempts to help her out + Post-movie after she comes to accept every part of herself and grow into her own, she starts to gain control over the beast form and spend more time in it willingly, no longer ashamed of looking "ugly" or acting as anything less than perfect

Luisa - Gargoyle + A powerful stone guardian that guards the family home restlessly + She doesn't actually need to sleep, but does go into a dormant "statue" state when exposed to direct sunlight. + Incredibly physically sturdy but not immune to damage. She can crack and break, though her pieces can be put back in place if they fall + It is debatable if she can feel pain in the same way more flesh-based beings can. She does not need to eat or breathe and cannot drown + While she has wings, she is too heavy to properly fly and uses them more to shield others from danger or glide short distances

Mirabel - Satyr + A real silly billy, she's got the fuzzy legs of a goat and little tiny horns under her hair + She's very musically inclined and can play several different instruments. She's creative, clever, and loves to frolic in the sun! + Her charisma stat is absolutely off the charts, others often find it very easy to relax around her as her monster species is not particularly threatening or associated with danger + Often faces underestimation and struggles with not being taken seriously. Her lack of scariness coupled with her inhuman nature can be a cause of direct bullying that more threatening monsters may not have to deal with.

Dolores - Vampire + Oppoisite Isabela, she's a little withdrawn and shy, probably has big ole' sensitive bat ears with perfect pitch detection + Veeeery sensitive to light and sound, she enjoys the quiet of night and often sleeps during the day + She can turn into a little bat and flutter around, but sometimes forgets she's easy to miss like that and jumpscares people who thought they were alone in a room + She's capable of sitting in complete silence for extended periods of time and is extremely patient. Her night-vision is impeccable. + Rumors have spread that she can read minds and has some psychic abilities, but these are entirely unfounded. She's just perceptive and very nosey.

Camilo - Changeling + A funky fey dude, taken in as a baby by Pepa and Félix when he was found abandoned in the wood + He's strongly attuned to magic in the environment and specializes in illusionist tricks + He has pointy ears, sharp teeth, and unnatural eyes that reflect light in the dark but shifts to a more human look most of the time to blend in with others + Quietly a little insecure about what he really is when he looks in the mirror without a disguise but tries not to dwell on it for too long

Antonio - Chimera + A strange little mix of creatures, he's got the upper half of a human with the lower half of a jaguar. He's also got the wings of an Andean condor, ears of a tapir, and an anaconda's tail! + The little dude climbs, flies, and swims - he's an ATV with endless energy who loves to shove himself into tight spaces to explore + Outgoing and a bit wild, he easily befriends other animals but sometimes finds people wary of him. He is very careful with his claws and fangs, but parents sometimes worry that he'll play too rough and hurt their kids. This makes him very sad! + Incredibly intelligent and inquisitive, he is active for long periods of time before collapsing into a nap and restarting the cycle

Bonus Augustín & Julieta - Headless horseman and Parrot Harpy I think Augustín would be like the headless horseman and constantly (literally) lose his head and Julieta would be a parrot harpy with colorful, blue plumage - incredibly intelligent and caring for her kids

OC TAG GAME

I was tagged by @hellomehlo and it looked like fun!

I'll tag: @calico-heart, @seasaltandcopper, @silent-moons-camp, @arcandoria, @mathlann

I figured I'd follow along with my own Neve-smooching Rook:

NERIO

General:

Name: Nerio

Alias: Nerio is their name, but is also an alias, not their birth name. They also go by Rook, a shortened version of "rookie", which was Varric's original nickname when they first joined his team.

Gender: Nonbinary (they/them)

Age: 26

Spoken Language: Common is the only language they truly know. Growing up in a city elf community, they learned SOME words and phrases of Elven, but they were fragmented and broken.

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Occupation: Former pirate among the Lords of Fortune. Before that a farmboy living on the family farm. They are currently freelance.

Favourite…

Color: Teal or light blue

Entertainment: Getting drunk, telling thrilling adventure stories, sea shanties (but only while drunk)

Pastime: Makeup, nail care, hair care, any beauty products.

Food: They aren't picky, anything is good. Their years with the Lords exposed them to countless different foods from across Thedas.

Drink: As a person with pirate seawater in their veins, they will generally prefer rum. Or any alcohol that tastes good mixed with tropical fruits in bright colorful drinks.

Have they…

Passed University: Before running from home, their destiny was going to be a poor farm hand working the same fields their family had worked for centuries. Nerio has zero formal education, just a basic amount of literacy and math. The Lords of Fortune gave them a crash course in more advanced things as needed for sailing, but it's far from a university education.

Had Sex: Absolutely. In fact, it was the fact they were caught having sex with a neighbor boy that incited the incident that made them leave home. There was a LOT of free love and exploration with the Lords as well.

Had Sex in Public: Sort of. On a sailing ship, there is very little room for privacy. Isabela herself mandated that everyone under her command spend some time "blowing off steam" during long voyages. Many of the Lords have taken this to mean it's okay to have sex in the communal sleeping area. Regardless of who else is around.

Got Tattoos: None so far, although they do want some.

Got Piercings: Their most visible piercings are two of Lucanis' decorative jacket buttons pierced through Nerio's left ear. One near the tip, the other at the lobe. With a thin chain connecting them. Nerio also has their nipples pierced, and a prince albert.

Got Scarred: Nothing serious. Just some minor scrapes and cuts from a life of adventure, pirating and farm work.

Had a Broken Heart: Not really. The boy they were sleeping with at home was more of a fling than a relationship. And the Lords were extremely free with their affections, rarely forming long-term partnerships. Although Nerio has been hurt when people rejected them.

Are they…

A Cuddler: Yes, absolutely. Nerio LOVES to cuddle with Lucanis and Neve. Especially since it gives them a chance to play with their favorite humans' body hair.

Scared Easily: Not after everything they've been through. Especially out at sea and treasure hunting in various ancient ruins. Some might even say that they're a bit too cocky and unafraid.

Jealous Easily: Deep down, yes. But as I mentioned above, their time with the Lords of Fortune taught them how to handle freely swinging between short-term relationships without too much heartbreak.

Trustworthy: 100% yes. Nerio doesn't like to lie, considering how many times they had to lie to themselves and their family back home. They do everything they can to follow up with their words.

Family…

Sibling(s): One older brother.

Parents: Both Nerio's parents are alive and well back on the farm somewhere in the rural areas of Rivain near the border. And Nerio would rather die than go back and see how they're doing.

Children: A huge amount of Nerio's pain related to their past/their home/their family stems directly from issues regarding children. Nerio could not be the son their family wanted, and thus could not be the man who entered an arranged marriage, fathered children, and worked himself to death providing for them. Nerio will never father children. They might have even found magical or medical help to sterilize themselves to make it 100% impossible.

That being said, if Neve and Lucanis want a baby in the future, Nerio will absolutely be there for them. The child will have three parents who love them very much.

Pets: Every single alley cat and stray in Minrathous. Neve had to put her foot down to stop Nerio from carrying them into her tiny living space.
