A little Peyton as a treat :]

You know how little baby ducks follow their mom around in a cute little baby parade??? Idk why but I just got the massive urge to draw Hallows and her kiddos as a little duck line :] (also I know all her kids are totally different ages and some should be adults by now but shhhhhhhhhhhhh they're baby right now <3)

because now I know I will never have a mother who looks at me from across a room and says, “Peyton Piexle, I see you.”

From being the kiddo to being the parent,,,

Thinking about this motherfucker again </3

I ended up going on a bit of a rant but if you want elaboration on what this post is referring to here ya go:

Okay so like,, I know I say this like every time I mention Sylvaire (or Tiana too for that matter) but like. I have seen the reading comprehension on this website and don't want it to be misconstrued and stuff. Also by writing it all down here maybe I'll be satisfied enough to stop feeling the need to explain it and can just point people to this post to know my intentions while writing him lmao. Like, Sylvaire as a character was written to somewhat represent my own abusers as a way for me to help process it, and I'm constantly paranoid that people will misread it as "characters are kind to this abuser throughout the beginning of the story because I the author condone his actions" and not "characters are kind to this abuser because he's very good at hiding his actions so people don't know he is one, and once people finally realize what he's done they all turn on him and he gets the justice that the author never got and is written this way specifically to help give them a bit of closure when they couldn't have it in real life"

But yeah like,, Sylvaire is absolutely irredeemable and I literally hate him so much, but like, the posts that I make that don't directly show that are sort of the point. Drawing him being an adorable nice little kid before he grew up into an abusive asshole is supposed to help show he CHOSE to be an abusive asshole, he wasn't raised to be one and it wasn't his "lycanthrope nature" (in fact both of his parents who were also lycanthropes were lovely and kind people so that throws that excuse right out the window), he started abusing people because he actively made the choice to hurt people for his own gain not just once but repeatedly. Any drawings of him being sweet with Kay and Vikki are supposed to show how good he is at manipulating people; he only started acting sweet so he could keep an eye on them and make sure they didn't find any evidence linking him to their kid's murder, and even when they got into a relationship it was one based on him manipulating them and making them blame themselves for his actions without them realizing he's doing it. Yeah it looks sweet to people who don't know what Sylvaire's intentions are, which is how it seems to Kay and Vikki because a major part of them being manipulated is them not knowing he's manipulating them. Like that's the whole point!! They and most others can't see through his bullshit because he's smart and charismatic and knows how to put on a nice act in front of people! He's only outright abusive to people who he knows he can keep silenced about it because if people know then his fake persona falls apart!

He claims he can't help how he acts and he blames it on his "tragic backstory" but we the audience are supposed to know that's horseshit because he had every option to get help and every chance to not be a shitty person and he had every opportunity to turn his life around and so many people offered him their help and support but he CHOSE not to do any of that because he knew that he could have more power over people if he hurt them and decided he wanted to abuse and extort people for riches and power and decided to repeatedly and happily take advantage of vulnerable people instead of working on bettering himself! And it's not even like turning his life around would be a sacrifice, his family are wealthy nobles, he explicitly DECIDES to hurt people because it makes him FEEL GOOD. That's what separates him from, say, Vicoros, who also had a horrible childhood and did a lot of shitty things because of it- the difference is that eventually he took a look at himself and decided "I'm not going to continue hurting people just because I'm hurt" and yeah he slips up sometimes because that happens, he still has issues with dealing with strong emotions through unhealthy means, he didn't just magically get better- but he made the choice to not actively hurt people when he didn't have to and he worked on bettering himself and finding ways to vent his anger issues in ways that don't directly cause other people harm whenever possible. Both of them have hurt people before, but one of them decided to stop the cycle of abuse as much as he could, while the other doubled down on it even when he had multiple options not to. And again, so so important to emphasize these were DECISIONS, not just things that happened. They CHOSE to do the things they did, for better or for worse.

Okay I'm sorry for rambling and honestly there's a lot more I could say but it's 1 am and I've already written a lot so I guess I'll say whatever else I have to say about them another time lmao

[somelazyassartist]

I realize I can sort Hallows' kids into three categories,,,

Category 1: canonically alive during the time of our campaign

Category 2: not technically canon, but would be the most likely to become canon. Also all Esvele's kids.

Category 3: the least likely to be canon but wouldn't it be fun to see what the most fucked up combinations of creatures we could make are

(I might change some of category 3's designs cuz I'm not entirely happy with all of them, and I might add a few more to that category too because there are SO many possible fucked up combinations of things that are incredibly fun to design lmao)

A few Peyton doodles from after her grandparents got custody; she's still getting used to it

[somelazyassartist]

Also last post before I try to get a little sleep lol but uh here have a happier and healthier post-surgery Peyton :)

[somelazyassartist]

Give her a break she was locked in an attic for like 17 years she doesn't know how to be a big sister lol

[somelazyassartist]

These two and their magically summoned pets

(Peyton's Hound of Ill Omen is cuz Shadow Magic Sorcerers get one at 6th level, Sylvaire has the Phantom Steed spell and his horse is just him as a horse)

[somelazyassartist]

(btw Hallows really doesn't mind that much and is supportive of her kid and her shadow demon dog :3 they're just both autistic and have trouble knowing what and what not to say at times lmao. Because I know I sure as hell struggle with talking with people lmaoooo. Just putting that clarification there that Hallows is very supportive she just has no idea what to say lol!! Oh and since this is after Peyton moved in with her Actually Okay Mom that's why I didn't draw her with wings and she knows Cookie Dough's name at that point lol)

A chart.

You know, as Hallows had more kids the more they seem to have the capability of going absolutely batshit. Cuz like.

Buttercup. The oldest. Sometimes has trouble controlling their strength and sometimes breaks stuff cuz of it, but by FAR the calmest and most rational of all of them.

Ciggus, second oldest. Not always quite as calm as Buttercup but is technically smarter than her. Tends to make the most logical decisions.

Peyton. Would be the second oldest except there's a sorta time warp in the Feywild so she is in fact younger than Ciggus even though she was born decades earlier. Time shenanigans are weird but anyways. Can talk to demons but other than that she's pretty chill.

Aurora. A lot more chaotic than her older siblings but can't exactly help it. Magic tends to just sorta happen spontaneously with her but she's practiced getting it under control and keeping a level head where she needs to.

I'm counting Daubble but I'm still not sure if it's canon or not. He's just a silly little fella :) She's kinda a trickster and gets himself into trouble a lot. Sorta rebellious because of her very strict religious upbringing that was not a good environment for him at all. Not really malicious but very chaotic.

The quadruplets. Sephshee and Avefaelor are the exception to this but that's sorta to balance out how fucking bonkers their twin siblings are. Vexacion and Trixter are arsonist serial killers (they take after their mom!) who work as circus performers (they also take after their other mom!), they also get cut in half and become sorta-immortal cyborg magicians at some point so that's neat I guess.

I think looking at the pattern that seems to be happening here that if Hallows ever had a half dragon kid- ESPECIALLY if it's a Mirage Dragon- that they would not only be a disaster but could very likely be the absolute most batshit bonkers fucking yonkers motherfucker out of any of her kids. Just A Thought.
