People Fig Lets Braid Her Hair (been thinking about this a lot since her saying she never has it down)

Ooh a good prompt, thanks friend!! Sorry it took so long, but *gestures vaguely at the world* shit’s wild rn. Hope you enjoy!

When she was younger, it was Gilear who braided her hair. Her

mom did it a couple of times, but both she and Fig hated it, and it almost

always ended in one or the other in tears. Gilear was gentle, and patient, and

knew lots of fancy elven braids that made her the envy of all the other girls

in her grade, and so the task fell to him.

Every morning she would sit down with her dad and chatter away

– about what she was doing at school that day, or the drama going on with the

other cheerleaders, who liked who in her class – whilst he murmured soft

agreements, his hands moving deftly through her hair. It was often the best

part of her day, a moment of stillness amongst the gymnastics and ballet and

the hundred-odd other after-school activities she took part in. Even as she

grew older and learned how to her own hair, every now and then, when she wanted

to look especially nice or just couldn’t be bothered, she would sit down in

front of her dad with her hairbrush and wait until he sighed and put down

whatever he was doing to fix it nicely. It was as reliable and steady as a

ticking clock; if she needed it, he would be there.

Until, of course, her horns come in, and Gilear can’t even look at her any more, let alone sit close enough to touch her.

She keeps her hair loose for the first few weeks after he

leaves, hoping it’ll disguise the burgeoning horns, but eventually it becomes

clear that nothing will keep them hidden. The rebellion kicks in, then: fine,

let everyone see them. Let everyone see who she is.

In the bathroom, alone, Fig attempts to do one of the fancy

braids that used to come naturally, but the hair won’t sit right on her horns

and she gives up after she almost stabs herself trying to section it off. She

settles on a thick braid that starts halfway down her head, half falling out of

the bobble, messy and wild and untameable, just like her.

It’s perfect.

At a sleepover a few months and daring adventures later, Fig

puts the finishing touches on a braid in Kristen’s hair. “There, all done,” she

says.

Kristen, excited, scrambles up from the floor to look at in

the mirror of Fabian’s en-suite (the bastard), leaving Fig to survey

the room. They’re all sleeping over at Fabian’s after what was supposed to be a study session descended into the usual chaos and it got too late for any of them to bother going home. Fig has declared this a Sleepover, with a captial S, which means secrets and braiding each other’s hair and makeovers and all sorts of fun she hasn’t gotten to do in ages. She’s excited. 

None of the Bad Kids other than her really did sleepovers

before they met each other, and she’s secretly delighted to get to teach them all the

best sleepover activities. In the corner, she has Adaine very carefully painting

Gorgug’s nails, both of them already sporting new hairstyles from Fig. Fabian

and Riz are sat on Fabian’s bed being boys and playing video games, but

Fig is scheming ways to get them involved. She reckons she can persuade – or, more

accurately, bully –  one or both of them

into a makeover before the night is over.

Kristen bounds back from the bathroom, grinning. “It looks

great, thank you!” she says. “Come on, your turn.”

Fig blanches. “Oh, you don’t have to-”

“I want to!” Kristen says. “Sit.”

Fig sighs, and gives in, sitting cross-legged on the floor.

Kristen stands behind her and begins to untangle her hair from the braid it’s

currently in. Fig winces. Kristen is not the most careful person in the world,

and it feels less like getting her hair done than getting her hair pulled out.

“Ow!” she yelps loudly after a minute as Kristen yanks a

particularly big chunk.

“Sorry!” Kristen says. “I think I’ve almost got it-”

“Kristen, what are you doing?” Fabian asks, pausing

the video game to look over at them.

“I’m braiding Fig’s hair!” Kristen says, defensively.

“You’re destroying Fig’s hair. Stop it.” Fabian says,

getting up and shooing Kristen away.

“Rude,” Kristen says, but there’s no animosity behind it. She

goes to sit beside Riz on the bed.

“You can play with me,” Riz says, tossing Kristen one of the

controllers. “Fabian’s just grumpy because he was losing.”

“Was not,” Fabian huffs, as Kristen giggles.

“What the fuck is happening?” Fig says, trying to turn

around and see Fabian. He grips her head and pushes it forward.

“I’m doing your hair. Properly.” he says firmly, and starts

brushing out the mess Kristen had created.

Fig braces herself, but Fabian is surprisingly gentle, and she

can tell as he starts to plait her hair with deft hands that he’s actually,

like, good at this. “Where did you learn how to do this?” she asks.

“Mama,” Fabian says, voice slow as he focuses. “Cathilda

braids her hair normally, but she wanted me to learn. It’s elven tradition. You

learned from your mom, right?”

“Mmm,” Fig says, thinking of Gilear, “Right.”

A few minutes later, after Riz has handily beaten Kristen in

several rounds of the racing game they’re playing, Fabian steps aside. “Done,”

he says.

Fig takes out her crystal and opens up her camera to take a

look. It’s different than how she normally does it, fancier, and somehow Fabian’s

tied bits of gold in there (where did he even get those?), but it looks really

good. She looks up at Fabian, who is trying to look nonchalant, and smiles. “I

love it,” she says.

“You do?” Fabian says. “I mean, of course you do, it’s

great. I’m great.”

Fig jumps up and hugs him in the middle of his backpedalling.

“Thank you,” she says, softly.

He relaxes a little and hugs her back. “You are very welcome,”

he says. “If you tell anyone else at school about this –“

“Yeah, yeah, you’ll beat me up, I know,” Fig rolls her eyes

as she breaks the hug. “Alright, your turn.”

“Excuse me?”

“We’re giving Fabian a makeover,” Fig announces to the room.

“No!” Fabian groans as the others cheer, but when Fig looks back at him he’s smiling. 

Fig grins wide and grabs her make-up bag. “Let’s do this!”

[bloodkeep-escape]

fig's parents continue to delight in the fact that she has a girlfriend, so they invite ayda for an official "get to know the parents" dinner, and sandralynn and jawbone and gilear and hallariel and gorthalax and sklonda allllll open the door together with huge grins and the biggest basket of oranges ayda has ever seen

oh my GOD this is the cutest image i’ve ever imagined....

fig has so many fucking parents and they all love ayda instantly of course (who wouldn’t)

ayda is definitely overwhelmed and nervous at first but they’re so nice and sincere that she stops being nervous really quickly!! and they all immediately adopt her into the family too!! 

let ayda have a massive family of people who love her and understand her and value her and appreciate her please

[jq37]

Cw in ep 15 is specifically for really really bad child neglect, & related: next ep is apparently the one where Siobhan throws up! Fun times

Thanks for the confirmation guys!

Also, I didn’t know Siobhan throwing up was a real thing and not a bit! Bad!

[supercantaloupe]

Thoughts on Tracker?

How I feel about this character

TRACKER!!! I went through all of season one and most of season two feeling pretty neutral about her and then brennan decided to just COME for me in the last couple episodes of the season. anytime you’ve got a lycanthrope character you introduce this really interesting symbology with the question of what is the “feral” side that they’re repressing, and the implication at the end there that what she’s repressing is her anger at playing second fiddle to her protagonist girlfriend? holy shit. interesting on a character level and a narrative level AND a dnd level! not to mention the season ending on this note of “i’m going to go to Fallinel and figure out what went wrong with the church of Gallicea and if it can be fixed”....oh my god. what a GOOD quest for her. what an IMPORTANT quest to me. AND she was so clutch for them to have along this whole time!! can you imagine if they didn’t have that twilight sanctuary???? she was the MVP in that last battle!!!! she’s GOOD!!!! stan tracker, is what i’m saying. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character

kristen. it’s just kristen. i love them. 

My non-romantic OTP for this character

RAGH, holy shit. from “check it out, i’m gay!” to this idea that the two of them bond over being the “random friends” who get brought along on this grand adventure and are sort-of part of the bad kids without REALLY being part of it and so they’re just out there being supportive but also being a little bit like “what are we doing here” and then eventually a the end deciding to go on an adventure TOGETHER? holy shit. i LOVE that. 

My unpopular opinion about this character

i know that it’s like the nature of dnd that npcs will always be the background/reflection of/narrative foils to the PCs but like. Can We Get Some Tracker Character Development Please. maybe i will just have to do it in fic. 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

like i said in my kristen ask, an on-screen trackerbees finale conversation!!!!!!! also just more tracker conversations in general, i’m SO curious about what her relationship with the other bad kids might be like! her and gorgug could have SUCH a good and cool relationship, i want to see them TALK! 

[titanias-stolen-shoes]

Happy Golden Birthday! Happy Champagne Birthday! Happy any-other-colloquialisms-for-your-age-is-the-same-as-the-date Birthday! I'm glad you exist! Hope you have a great day!

Thank you! I'm glad you exist too!

Also up until like a week ago I had no idea there was a name for when you turn the same age as your birth date. The more you know

[unseconds]

d20 exchange for @allsevenmaidens, u said u liked sibling dynamics so i drew adaine and aelwyn!!

[staticsuds]

I couldn’t sleep before I posted this. We have a full-blown AU on our hands now and I’ll be damned if I don’t draw bad doodles of the Bad Kids in this Game Changer AU

Inspo for this coming from this post

@allsevenmaidens  and @nonbinarywithaknife thank you for the inspo on this absolute nonsense

[swarmkeepers]

i simply must offer up "We've Got Ink On Our Hands"

al;sdkfjad thank you allison the chaos of ruby’s big day does sound about right

[the-box-phantasma]

Crack theory that @allsevenmaidens and I developed at 1:30AM after a three hour long phone call. Emily’s new character is an oath breaker paladin. Why?

-The only classes we haven’t seen yet in this campaign are Cleric, Wizard, Sorcerer, Paladin.

-this campaign is low magic high lethality. No wizards or sorcerers, and also Clerics heal people. Not allowed. What does this leave? Paladin.

-Emily Axford is so chaotic. How could she play such a lawful class? Simple. She is an oath breaker. Also how mad would it make Murph.

-She loves young Bev, a good boy Paladin. She knows how cool Paladins are. Also, there are a lot of theories that Amanda Maillard is her new character. What kind of class could a knight be? Paladin babey.

-when do we break oaths? In times of war, when the church is doing wack shit like excommunicating emperors and murdering Candians. Wouldn’t you love to see a Bulbian/Muffinfield defect

-fuck the carrot, paladins deserve better representation.

-Oathbreaker Paladins are extremely sexy. In a bad boy way. And I would like to see it.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

incoming freshman vs outgoing seniors

this was so much fun to draw… design notes and individual drawings are under the cut! (also click for better quality if it looks grainy I don't know what mobiles doin)

adaine

most of the girls i knew in highschool didnt physically look a lot older by senior year and i feel like adaine’s personal style wouldn’t change a lot past the obvious “getting out of the fake uniform” so i just wanted to make her look like. happier mostly? ive also seen a lot of people draw her with the blue dipdye and i LOVE that. i really debated changing her last name to o’shaughnessey since she’s legally adopted by jawbone but i feel like she’d probably keep the last name as a fuck you to her parents… idk there’s four days until the finale and for everything to get blown out of the water. oh well. boggy best frog

kristen

bowling shirt undercut and piercings: gay essentials. also a promise ring! not a lot to say here but im happiest with this one i think she turned out super cute

fig

i dont really have a lot to say except that i think fig should have a mohawk and by god i will make it happen. the hand tattoos are the ones in zajiri and the rose matches the one gorgug got on leviathan. feather is obv from ayda because gay rights. i also wanted to make an older fig be a lot… pointyer? and less “fuck you” punk and more “fuck yeah” punk

riz

my dear sweet darling boy…. some things never change and the business cards still come out on occasion i think although they did get that fabian glow-up. also i think senior year riz is probably less fresh faced business boy than freshman year but it still pops out for picture day at least. i really did try to hit the balance between pok and sklonda in his face. goblins with tails gang rise up.

fabian

another dear sweet darling boy. not a lot to say except that my dude went into highschool at 16 already and half-elves are slower aging i think? so i didnt really age his face. but with the whole “toxic masculinity is dead” i like to think hed grow out his hair. wear a lil bit of eyeliner. pierce his ears. embrace the best friends necklace. a little less cocky and a little more genuinely happy. i was gonna make his nails painted too but i forgot oops. im at the prep. im at the jock. im at the combination prep and jock. 

gorgug

my guy has not only half orc aging going on but also, as the lovely @allsevenmaidens​ pointed out, whatever happened in the arcade so i physically aged him quite a bit. the aesthetic i was going for was “soft metalhead” bc you know. he is a rockstar. but he is also a sweetheart. i love him

brennan has one more shot to ruin all my ideas for the future bad kids and im inviting him to. go on. invalidate my cool drawing in one shot.

[kristenbeeapples]

Lydia! And! Kristen!!!!! (please talk about this fic your post on the topic is so sweet)

ahh ty allison!! tragically i have very little of it written, the doc listed is pretty much just an outline (which i realise when i went to look at it again i first made at 3am the day before i moved out of my parent’s house, bc i make good decisions lol). the one scene i have written is kind of the crux of the fic where kristen is upset about a fight with tracker and goes to lydia for help. here’s a lil extract!

Cassandra’s hand, cool and gentle, is on Kristen’s back, and though it’s comforting it’s not enough to still her sobs. She wants – she wants to hold Tracker, make sure she’s safe. She wants her friends. She wants, stupidly, achingly, her parents, to love her as if she never left.

She has the first two, she tells herself. That should be enough. She should go and find Fig or Adaine, and cry on their shoulders, or call Tracker back to explain.

But. But. A friend is not a parent. And a girlfriend is not a parent, and a god is not a parent. She needs a parent, and the fact she can’t have hers back makes her cry even harder. 

(It takes a few minutes of ugly, heaving sobs for her to realise that though her parents are gone, there is someone else who may be able to help.)
