All's Fair in Love and Grand Fest (First Movement)

I am risen.

Welcome to the first fanfic posted from my new place of residence! I've been very distracted and stressed getting everything together to move, but there's a lot of stories on my mind. This one I just so happened to finish during part of the road trip.

Is it too late for me to jump on the Grand Fest hype? I don't think so!

So... Enjoy my first foray into the world. Of.

Shout outs @duelbraids for the assist <.<

"This is so nice. I've been dying to meet you, Acht!"

"I- "

The Octoling's shades obscure how rapidly their eyes start to scan. Callie's hair is mostly covered by a hot pink pompom beanie. However, her dangling twin tentacles blend into the scooping neckline straps of her black tank top, which is only visible through a small window between her netted stitch scarf and thin summer sweater whose right-side folds into a deep 'V' that's reminiscent of a yukata. Both articles are a lighter pink shade. A treble clef hangs from her right ear; a bass clef hangs from her left in three distinct piercings.

Acht rasps: "… You have?"

I've always thought he acted like a child...

Also killing him isn't enough, I want to see him break down and cry.

Thanks to @lovemoroporo ! I commissioned a sketch of whatever they wanted from Thank You Consequence, and they LITERALLY chose one of my favorites.

(He’s wearing a concealment stone under his shirt hence the round ears 😆)

I’m going to be adding these images to the chapter as soon as I get a chance!

Commission this artist now!!!!

normal things happening to hunter theowlhouse

[pincushionx]

Ya know what, teen parentfies your Hunter

So y’all remember that grimwalker we see Belos possess briefly in the second or third episode of the finale. Well this is them as a baby before they grew and rotted into an adult. So after hollow mind, Hunter decides to run back to the castle and sneak in through a “secret” entrance which ends up being the lab where he unburies this baby. He decides no he will never be loyal to Belos again and takes the baby. Belos made this grimwalker around the time of eclipse lake just in case he needed to off Hunter. Belos can’t make a new grimwalker now due to having enough materials, he was just planning to harvest Hunter. (Specifically for the stone sleeper lungs)

Now with a baby as a new responsibility, rather then go to hexside. He makes the desperate choice to steal for his new baby and the rest shall be planned out.

Any ideas what to name this child (I love baby grimwalker stories so muchhhh)

[yardsards]

there's such an interesting extra layer to amity and her relationships (especially w luz) that gets revealed when you learn that not only is she an abuse victim herself, but she is also the child of an abusive marriage

like not only was she personally abused/neglected and taught that she doesn't deserve to have her boundaries respected and won't get positive attention unless maybe she "earns it" by being useful and overachieving, but also her main example of a romantic partnership involved one partner exploiting the other and treating him as an expendable tool

in all of her relationships (platonic, romantic, familial), amity learns to give and receive kindness, learns to respect and set boundaries, learns that the value of herself and others aren't dictated by achievements or usefulness. she's breaking the toxic patterns that her parents taught her via their treatment of her.

but with her romantic relationship with luz, not only is she learning all of the above, but she's also breaking the toxic patterns of a romantic relationship that she would have learned from watching her parents.

when she shows kindness to luz, loves luz wholeheartedly even when she makes mistakes or causes problems, respects luz's privacy and boundaries, she is treating her girlfriend in a way that opposes the way her mother treated her own husband.

when she learns that she doesn't need to be useful or else risk abandonment/punishment, she's learning that she shouldn't accept or expect to be treated by her girlfriend the same way that her father was treated by his own wife.

i just. i love stories about characters breaking cycles. and i love luz and amity's relationship so much. it's very much not the kind of relationship i'm invested in the same way i am invested in with ships between adults. but rather like, it's a relationship between these two young people who are learning to healthily navigate this kind of relationship for the first time in their lives and it's really sweet.

Different flavors of mentor:

Definitely 100% doesn't care about this brat... totally...

"Please God just let me retire or die"

Hot mess of an upperclassman who only seems wise to you

"Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just wanna go apeshit?"

Good bad example

The Two Princes Caleb and Hunter in the Tower

Basic process breakdown under the cut

Sketch, background, and flat tones (these all get chopped up a bit during the painting process and I forgot to take screenshots until partway through. whoops)

Several layers of shadow/highlight (multiply/screen) layers. Usually, I'll do two of each for characters, but this one only used one highlight layer with two shadows.

Painting . Small brush, tight blending, all done on one layer. I start with the important details because I tend to get sloppy by the end of it.

Several layers of colors and adjustments (and sometimes an extra multiply layer over the painting for tonal correction)

“Collector! Hey buddy, you ok?”

“Collector?”

Colourful stars, sparking with shine scattered across the walls. Searching, looking and digging there corners into the slits between the ivory. Worry swallowed the collector whole, nagging into his gut like a piercing blade.

“King!”

The star child shouted, turning to face the canine like creature, a titan who’s yet to fully grow, something they both had in common.

“I can’t find them. I don’t want to play this game anymore!”

He didn’t like how long this was taking, they were impatient, and did not like loosing games. But at this moment, he didn’t care if he lost.

He just wanted his ‘parent’ beside them again.

“M-maybe there back in our room? They could have switch spots”

“That’s cheating!!”

Rattling the walls like a earthquake, the force of the shout bouncing off the wall.

But he was right? Maybe they did go back?

Swiftly the child’s hand waved across, a motion to quick for the titan to catch before he as-well was thrown on top of its flat surface, the hum buzzing from the star present with the patter of feet next to him.

A game of hide n seek, a classic, a game where one would seek and the other would hide. A simple yet challenging game of who can stay hidden until the end.

And you were quite good at it.

It felt like hours ago you had watch the collectors feet drop off the bed, the counting of numbers stoping that erupted into giggles. The collector was good at hide n seek, and from what you’ve seen, was very good to the point you could only assume he had found king in under afew minutes when the star child had began to run around with an extra pair of feet right next to him.

They teamed up on you. Little sneakers…..

But at this point you didn’t really care, you were having fun with the children who you were to constantly accompany in every waking minute, sure it was tiring but it was fun. And in these moment you got to see them interact, giggling and planing there next ideas that were childish yet entertaining to hear. It was perfectly normal because after all,they were children. Maybes it’s because you were no longer a small child, the childish nature still living in you but as time passed by, you have matured by much and by the time you had met king and later met the collector through the events of the eclipse, you had began to become much like the parental figure of the group. You missed the others, and you wanted them here with you, for the collector to see what he is doing is wrong, but there was only so much you could do. The kid was young with immense power, but as time went on, you’ve come to see them as a young child you could look after and maybe then, all of you would be able to thrive.

But who am I kidding, nothing like that is easy to get.

You first heard the hum of the star like transportation, then the mumbling of the two children. The collectors feet hopped off the star along with the fluffy paws of king. From all you could see, the collector made his way to the bed you were currently under, inspecting the tossed blankets that you made previously made to look like someone was underneath the warm fabric. It was a risky move.

But his ankles were just in reach of your hands.

With a small snicker, you reached out and snatched onto the small godlike child’s ankles, causing the said child to jump up in surprise, hoping all the way over to the other side of the room like a scarred bunny.

“WHAT IS THAT WHAT IS THAT KINGGGGG”

“I DONT KNOW WHAT WAS THAT”

Curiously the collector had slowly walked back over to the bed, creeping up before lifting the whole bed up with his hand effortlessly.Laying there defenceless you could only do one thing.

“SURPRISE???”

Waving your hands like a mad man.

It took the collector a minute before he began to laugh, flying up in the air up and around before landing back down on the soft carpet.

“OHHH THAT WAS SO FUN. WE SHOULD PLAY THAT SO MANY MORE TIME! 1000 MORE TIMES!!!”

You chuckled.

“Anytime collector”

Vee and Hunter had not started off on a very good foot.

He had recognized her immediately and done his best to avoid her. She had pretended that she didn't know who he was and that had been just fine with him. They had spent weeks like that, tip-toeing around the truth like it didn't exist, until one of them had finally flinched.

Fanart for the always incredible @polyhexian's fic Empty Water Heater!
