Jenna Heap redraws!! I’m falling back into the obsession…

little drawing of septimus and jenna because i just reread the series and Needed to draw them but couldn't think of any interesting drawings to make...kind of annoying that the Queen Rules is red because i really wanted to draw jenna with it but there's simply no contrast against her dress whatsoever. oh well

i really love the take on jenna as an adopted kid in the original series

like she noticeably looks very different from everyone else in her family. once she becomes princess, she lives somewhere different than her family, and there is a very clear difference between her as a royal and her parents as Not.

and yet whenever anybody makes any sort of comment about it or insinuates that this means she is not really a Heap, she gets so fucking mad.

like only in book 1 does she get angsty about it, and nicko very quickly lets her know that nothing has changed just cuz she knows who her birth mom is now, that she's obviously still One Of Them

and after that. she is rude to people who insinuate. she's passive aggressive and firm and she won't hear any of it once she sees where the convo is going. her dad helps her shut it down. it's so good!!!

and it's very obviously conveyed as "ugh, [x] person is doing that 'you're not a Heap' thing, they're so dumb". rather than being something that actually makes jenna feel sad or question her position as a Heap. because after that first time, we know as well as she does that this isn't a fact that's up for debate. yeah she looks different. yeah she has birth parents. what about it? why would any of that change the immutable fact of her being part of this family?

it also gets interesting when you consider the septimus paradox. what makes him a "real" Heap if she is not? if they're not "really" siblings, which one is the Heap? the son who carries their blood but who doesn't know them, wasn't raised with them? or the daughter who carries different blood but from her first day of life has been the youngest sister in the house?

the answer obviously presenting as: they're both! flyte even confronts the fact that while he is the lost child, jenna is more of a Heap than he is and maybe will ever be, and it makes him uncomfortable.

the original books so unequivocally say that it is absurd to consider adopted kids anything other than a genuine part of their family, and it's so refreshing how they do it. i love that jenna gets frustrated, rather than angsty. i love that her and silas make fun of the royal planner woman for suggesting she's not a Heap, because isn't she being so silly? she's denying basic reality! it's just all such a good take on it and i love her

Small things I love about the Septimus Heap books:

This is a universe where you can have an actual pet rock. Petroc Trelawney has my whole heart and should also have yours.

At one point, an iguana was mowing the loan

The misadventures of Stanley, the rat having to deal with the Heaps (tm) in every book and his failed marriage and the adoption of his children + his job. He is doing his best, okay ?

Grandpa Benji went into the forest one day and never came back, living his life as a tree int he forest.

Sam. I know he is not little but I love Sam Heap and he deserves to be appreciated (the moments between him and Sep are great)

Medieval world ? Yes totally. Is that a submarine and an elevator ? Yes. Don't worry about it. There is no implications here of this being a post-apocalyptic futuristic world. What are you talking about ?

✨Jenna and Septimus killed a man ✨.

And considering what Sep says to her after and the fact that he was a child soldier without a name until he was 10,it probably wasn't the first time for him

Sleuth, Simon's emotional support tennis ball. It's very busy considering Simon is Simon and would need a lot of emotional support. It is also doing its best and should stop being taken by little brats .

Marcia and her fashion choices (tm). Does she need the pointy purple python shoes ? Nooooo. We wouldn't have her without them though.

The illustrations. They are so good. I love them so much.

You can add more if you want..

It's 2am so their real birthday drawing is on hold for a more sensible time but here's this :)

[bubbles-txt]

Remember this drawing from the very early days of my tumblr presence ?

Well, 2 years after that I redrew it.

And now, 2 years after that, I redrew it again !

I want to make redrawing this over and over again a tradition, to remind myself of how much I've grown as a person and as an artist, and to remind myself of the fact that Sep Heap was the first ever fandom I truly interacted with. This series and its fandom will always be held close to my heart 💜

Anyway, it's The Gang (TM), redrawn once again :>

[snap-fyre]

“Jenna had never seen anyone like Marcia before, no one as purple, as shiny, as clean and expensive-looking, and certainly no one with such pointy shoes.”
