Castle Lovelylocks Playset early design/concept art

Shared by toy designer Stefanie Eskander on her instagram on a post about toy lines she almost got to work on:

"Lady Lovely Locks was a wonderful line to be part of, my only contribution was a design (my first) for a castle playset. Taken over by another designer, the produced castle looks almost nothing like mine."

WHERES MY BOY DRAWINGS AND BUTLER HEADCANONS *holds you at butler point* /j /not forcing /this this supposed to be silly /im not forcing you /im not an assholeplease

thanks for clarifying the tone on this one, because otherwise i wouldn’t have read this right. took my time cooking these up because i care about The Boy (for those who don’t know: an oc this person made that’s a stray cat fitz adopted). closeups (all right side up) and headcanons under the cut :)

headcanons that are indeed related to the drawings here, and then some! (disclaimer that i’ve never had a service cat before, but i have had a service dog, so there may be some major inaccuracies here, in which case please correct me for future reference)

butler may have been a scrawny stray when fitz first got him, but since he only eats things fitz bakes and fitz bakes all the time from stress, he’s a bit of a Thick Boy. and we love him for that

fitz learned how to bake cat treats through definitely legal searches for cat treat recipes, and help from the gnomes and sophie (she’s the only one that knows which gnomish veggies taste like what meats) substitutes for fish and stuff

they’re human/elvin grade treats ofc

butler is a pretty good name for not only his appearance but also his personality most of the time! butler loves fetching things for people, especially fitz. usually he gives people either things he loves or things he notices them pick up frequently

this includes fitz’s imparter (which now has bite marks around the corners), biana’s hairbrush, alden’s scrolls on occasion (fitz apologized profusely the first time it happened, alden just laughed it off. he now calls butler’s bite marks in his doomed papers “autographs”), and della’s jewelry (there was one time he accidentally got her earrings stuck to the magnets in his service vest - we’ll get back to that later - and kinda just jingled around everglen trying to find her. the gnomes found him first and couldn’t stop laughing. the rest is history)

butler is also known to sleep on any and all clothes fitz leaves folded out, and also try to drag said folded clothes to fitz on school mornings in an attempt to help out. it is not very successful. fitz has three lint rollers in his foxfire satchel, and two in whatever everyday cape he’s wearing. he’s recently started having the gnomes teach him how to mend the accidental tears butler’s attempts to be helpful leave

one time butler almost broke a bottle of raven lovelylocks by trying to jump down from fitz’s bathroom counter with the bottle in his jaws. fitz opened the door to see him about to jump and frantically made his way over to butler so butler wouldn’t grip it tighter and break the glass. first line of action afterward was to hail dex and check if lovelylocks as a brand used chemicals harmful to cats. he now leaves all products in his (closed) bathroom cabinets

the first time butler tried to bring mr. snuggles to fitz, fitz almost had a breakdown, because it looked like his new cat was trying to rip apart his emotional support stuffed animal. in reality our little man only had his claws out because he was trying to pull the covers mr. snuggles was tucked under, and his teeth were at snuggles’ throat because that was the narrowest point of contact butler was could find. in the moment fitz panicked super hard, and didn’t let him anywhere near mr. snuggles for days. he figured out what was really going on when he saw butler drag biana’s stuffed yeti lady sassyfur to the door by the arm later that week and drop it at her feet

now that fitz knows what butler’s deal is, he’s allowed near mr. snuggles, and is often seen curled around the stuffed dragon. especially when fitz isn’t home and butler doesn’t get to go with him

butler is surprisingly trainable! he’s incredibly food motivated, but also can be trained on affection alone. he’s all good as long as he gets to be clingy. fitz pretends to grumble about the constant attention all the time, but not so secretly loves having an excuse to smother someone in physical affection. even if that someone is a cat. butler is refreshingly less complicated than his friends and family

butler knows soooooo many tricks. bro can roll over and sit and lay and fetch and “butler, cmon, drop it” and spin and go for walks and shoulder rides on command. he can stand on his back legs too. he’s not quite athletic enough for backflips, though. fitz is planning on getting him on a training regimen working toward that soon

butler is super duper talkative. will shush on command most of the time, but he has his rebellious moments. mostly when fitz goes in the kitchen or when he’s by the door. will yowl for treats or a walk without hesitation. polite yowls though. meows increasingly loudly when he can’t get into something and wants someone to open it for him. mostly doors. everyone knows to just pick him up and move him somewhere else if he wants help in the kitchen though. no unearned treats for you, sir!

butler has an absurd amount of collars and leashes and toys because fitz is so the kind of guy to get gifts for his cat all the time. all his collars and leashes match - the one he’s wearing in the sketches is his plainest one, and also his first one. his name’s usually engraved on a heart but sometimes a star or paw. butler’s favorite toys are the feathers on strings that you tug around with a stick. he will get that thing if it fucking kills him or someone else. it’s fetch for diehards and goddamnit he will win (he’s just like fitz fr fr)

butler loves walks but doesn’t know his limits. one second he’ll be prancing along and the next he’s flopped out in the grass somewhere on everglen’s property giving a very sad, tired meow. that is when fitz picks him up, puts him over his shoulder, and goes back inside

butler gets on fitz’s shoulders at nearly every opportunity. this unfortunately has ruined a decent amount of capes, and left a lot of scratch marks along fitz’s back and right leg (there was one time butler used fitz’s bad leg and fitz nearly collapsed, and butler has since been trained to not touch fitz’s left knee). fitz loves the feeling of having a purring scarf that gives his cheek kisses too much to mind

speaking of purring! bro purrs so loud you can hear him across the room. that shit rumbles through your whole body. his favorite spot is fitz’s chest. sometimes he’ll need fitz’s chest before settling down, to which fitz calls him his little baker butler baking biscuits. most commonly occurs when fitz is stress-baking in the middle of the night, though that happens less with butler around

during a check-in with elwin, elwin noticed that fitz’s echoes (especially in his chest) seemed to be doing a lot better since he and butler had gotten into their little rhythm of things. he decided to have a check in at everglen next time so he could look at how fitz’s body reacted to butler purring on his chest and such in the face of his echoes acting up slightly, and found that his echoes’ effects were tamped down compared to usual

elwin was immediately like hey dude considering how easy this cat is to train, and how it’s helping you with your disabilities that you are not ready to call disabilities echoes, you should put him through service cat training. i know a guy. and so they did that

butler is quite serious when he’s got his vest on. goes from wandering goofy goober to steadfastly walking next to fitz, or politely meowing to get on fitz’s shoulders when it’s crowded or to get fitz’s attention when fitz is stressed out. he has a different number of polite meows for different requests. the last request is less of a request and more of a demand, though, since his job is to get fitz to relax. doesn’t meow otherwise

the moment the vest’s off he’s back to being super silly though. all the urges he was holding back to fetch things or beg for treats are let loose. behold, cat zoomie hell. unless fitz is just taking his vest off so butler is comfy falling asleep for the night, in which case butler is a nice quiet cuddle buddy

everyone loves butler but man does sophie love him possibly as much as fitz. part of it’s her being someone with major echoes, part of it’s her being his cognate, but the biggest part of it is that she misses marty ._.

oh yeah the magnets i mentioned earlier in his vest! that’s because i was too lazy to draw buckles i thought it’d be interesting for elvin service animal vests to use small magnets instead of buckles, considering how elves like to use magnets when it’s more convenient. specifically referring to the deleted scene where fitz explained how elvin rings are magnetic and no one gets piercings

So, since July of last year, I've been slowly making some custom dolls for myself!

Today, I finished Julie~

There is more to be done with her, like making her red dress, creating a foam bump to give her more hair height (I tried back combing/teasing it, but the Shimmer Locks hair is too high quality to be ratted lol), and make even more cute outfits.

But honestly, it's been a really fun and cool creative journey! I never thought I'd ever re-hair a doll, let alone paint new eyebrows for one! I have more progress pics on my insta, but I'll post some of those here in the future.

I am also working on Wally and I hope I can style his hair well enough and get a fun picture for Clown's birthday~

Side note: I adore brushing/combing her hair xD it gives me flashbacks to some of my favorite dolls as a kid, like Lady Lovelylocks~

Thanks for reading if you got this far, lol

Dear God,Lady Lovelylocks had a mermaid friend and I didn’t know that!

ok idea I just pulled out of thin air for my art blog / 3D modeling profiles

It would be cool to do like one simple 3D sculpt per month requested by followers/voted on and post it for free (or at least free for that month? something like that, and then archive it for like $3-5 depending)

that might help me not be overwhelmed by having too many projects but also with making new things.

ok idea board for things I want to make/styles that i want to riff on (i love you 1980s/1990s hasbro designers) (I dont want to 1-1 remake all of these i just like the sculpts in a lot of these)

Hasbro: My little Puppy / Lil Litters / Moondreamers

Others: Wonder Whims, Kitty Surprise, Tea Bunnies, Strawberry Shortcake, Shimmers, Lisa Frank art, My Magic Kissing dragon and Lady Lovelylocks dragon friends

Closest I can remember coming was the Army of Lady LovelyLocks riding in at the last minute to save Bridal Barbie from her sham political marriage to 12in GI Joe and then they all became amazon warriors who slaughtered Big Joe's 3.5in minions in revenge for their takeover of indigenous LovelyLocks territory. They also rescued Cherry Merry Muffin who had been forced to make the wedding cake and she became a powerful sorcerer.

That . . . almost certainly doesn't count.

“You never pretended to be a bride when you were a little girl?” No???? Like literally never?

German Audio Play Characters

Perhaps I should have queued this before I started putting up the audio play transcripts and synopsis's, apologies for that. The audio play introduces a lot of characters we never see in the books or the animated series, so not knowing of them beforehand can be a bit confusing. Thankfully, Alarda, the same person who originally posted everything pertaining to the audio plays, also put up information on the characters here :)

Matti A little Troll boy. He has brown eyes, green fur, pointed ears and a long tale with a quate. He lives with his family in a treehouse and his best friends are Tatzel and Knabberjahn, Prince StrongHeart and  Lady LovelyLocks, of course, whom they have found unconscious somewhere in the forest.

He is a little impertinent sometimes, but very nice to and very helpful to others. And he is very loyal towards his friends - especially towards Lady LovelyLocks. He is intelligent and brave and collects blue feathers.

Tatzel A little green dragon. His best Friends are Matti, Knabberjahn, Prince StrongHeart and  and Lady LovelyLocks. He lives on his own in a cave and collects colored stones.

He thinks he is the last of his kind for a long time until he finds his uncle. He likes everything that sparkles and glitters and is hungry most of the time. He is usually nice and friendly, if a little frightful, but he can be a little impertinent too, sometimes. He can breath fire and Owl Urda likes to call him "Dragon brat!"

Knabberjahn A reasonable beaver, friend of Matti and Tatzel - and of Lady LovelyLocks and Prince StrongHeart. He mumbles and he smacks when he speaks sometimes. He lives with his familiy at the dam somewhere in the near swamp, I believe. He is very loyal to his friends.

Snake Lee At the beginning of the series, she is a spy and a friend of sorts to Duchess RavenWaves. She lives in the Magical Forest in the first half of the series, but then she lives in the Blue Mountains. After some serious arguments with the Duchess (RavenWaves doesn't keep her bargains) she deserts her.

Lady LovelyLocks trusts her, thinking her nice, if rather inquisitive, and this seems to have left an impression. Lee starts helping Lady LovelyLocks in MC 5 and keeps to it through the whole series from there on at various occasions, from helping out with vital information, to small suggestions, to warning her about the poisoned wedding wine...

She's always kind of a mercenary soul, though she changes herself for the better.

Witch Lazulila She has been the ruler over the Blue Mointains since StrongHeart's family vanished. She can only work magic when it rains and needs an owl's hoot so that her spells and curses become permanent, and she's a friend of sorts to Duchess RavenWaves. She's also the one who ruined Strongheart's family and cursed him to live as a dog. She's got a magical belt and her trademark is the wart on her nose.

Moma The youngest, green-haired daughter of the Nebelmoog. She lives with him in a castle out made of sea grass in the deepest region of the Misty River. She is a Mistnix and can only come out of the water wrapped in mist.

She likes Lady LovelyLocks too, and they become even friends of sorts. At first she is very sad, because she has no one to play with, but then she befriends Matti, Tatzel, the Pixietails and Lady LovelyLocks.

Nebelmoog He lives with his youngest daughter Moma in a castle made out of sea grass in the deepest region of the Misty River. He is the one who makes the mist and has to be some sort of a male mermaid or something. He laughs a lot and loves his daughter Moma very much.

He takes down boat rafts to the ground of the river sometimes so that his kids can play with them, but apart from that he seems to be a good kind of character, always helping when asked to, never harming anyone.

Owl Urda A terrible know-it-all, who wants to be respected all the time. She likes to gossip very much and is sometimes called "chatter owl".

She is very intelligent and is the only one in the Magical forest who can read - if not very good, though. But she can be very nice sometimes too. She keeps an eye on what Matti and Tatzel are doing most of the time.

She's an eagle owl by the way, but Matti likes to call her "old barn owl!"

Leilani The little daughter of Lady LovelyLocks and Prince StrongHeart. She has red curles and green eyes. She is kidnapped by Bird Rah when she's only three days old and later brought back to her parents by the Pixietails.

Bird Rah He lives in the swamp behind the Magical Forest. Only once every 5 years he can lay a golden egg.

He saves Matti and Tatzel after the dam has broken and kidnaps Leilani after being told lies about Lady LovelyLocks by Duchess RavenWaves. Later he wants to return Leilani to her parents, but gets caught by the Duchess and held prisoner, until he is freed by the Pixietails.

He is a friend of Tatzel's uncle Ewald.

Uncle Ewald: He is Tatzle's uncle, but everyone calles him "Uncle Ewald". He is a friend of Bird Rah and lives in the swamp somewhere near to Rah's nest. He's already an old dragon, he can cook and is not together with a female dragon - and doesn't want to! He is very nice, unless teased, and very loyal to his friends.

Matti's family

Grandmother Troll She knows very much about herbs and medicines.

Mother Troll She has a big heart for every helpless creature. She is very kind and a great cook. She does like Lady LovelyLocks a great deal.

Father Troll He is very famous in the forrest, gets called if somethings wrong. He is very stern with Matti sometimes, but he really is very nice. And he too, likes Lady Lovely Locks a great deal.

Ona She is Matti's sister, likes bathing, does always what she's told, and does like Lady LovelyLocks a great deal.

Minor characters

Ben A stable lad in Castle LovelyLocks. He is a good lad, as the head groom once put it, trustworthy, direct and loyal. If he is assigned to do something, he does it without delay and as long as it takes him to complete his task.

Head groom He is very loyal to Lady LovelyLocks, but usually doesn't leave the stable grounds very often. He behaves like a fatherly friend towards the Lady sometimes.

Wizard Mandozi or Kandozi He appears to be a neighbour of sorts to witch Lazulila. At first she has an argument with him over the borders of their realms, but then she goes to visit him, so they obviously get along when they aren't fighting over their borders.

Wolkenweh He is a magical being who lives in the Blue Mountains, though it's never explained just what exactly he is. I think he may be a wind spirit or wind elemental or something like that.

He likes to tease witch Lazulila by blowing away the rain clouds, because she can't work any magic when it's not raining. He frees Prince from his prison in the stable of Duchess RavenWaves' hunting lodge, because he can't stand it when Lazulila tortures someone.

Some interesting notes also posted regarding some changes to the already existing characters, things to keep in mind:

HairBall “Other than in the TV series, he is not known to change his height or form, but he is said to be Duchess RavenWaves' wizard and servant, so he may be up to it though - it isn't clear. Usually, he is her first punching ball and has to do a lot of her dirty work. But he is capable of feeling pity sometimes, and disobeys the Duches therefore sometimes. But he can be truly mean at times, too.”

ShiningGlory “(His name in German "Meister des Lichts" means "Master of Light" in English.)

ShiningGlory isn't blind in the German audio play, though he is old and easily exhausted. He lives in the highest tower of Lady LovelyLocks' castle.”

Prince StrongHeart “He can't change out of his form as a dog, like he is able to in the TV series. He only transforms back once the curse is broken. He doesn't live with ShiningGlory, but with Lady LovelyLocks.

In the TV series he is fair haired and has blue eyes, but in the audio play his hair is brown and his eyes are green.” (veeeeery interesting!)

Pixietails

“There are only three of them in the audio play, and all of them are female. What's more, only Lady LovelyLocks can summon them, by shaking her hair. If she does they are with her as quick as a thought, otherwise they have to fly normally.

And there are certain magical borders they can't cross without the help from elemental powers like rain, sun, mist, wind, etc... The boarders mentioned in the play are the one in the middle of the Misty River and the boarder to the Blue Mountains.”

Comb Gnomes “Again, there are only three of them in the audio play and all of them are male. Their names are Paa, Pee and Puu. They are not very bright, can be really mean, but they don't seem to be as evil and mean as Duchess RavenWaves.

They call her and witch Lazulila mean, so under a different master, they could be different too, I guess. They are the spies of the Duchess, and they can go everywhere. Their limitation is definitely the lack of intelligence.”
