#also she has so many hairstyles in canon. that's fun

[bunnivez]

hiii!!! is it okay if i request angell nsfw or sfw head canons if thats okay with you!!

The Housewife Way

જ⁀➴ Hello Nonnie! Seems like people really took a liking to Angell after the event happened lmao (๑>؂•̀๑) I had fun writing this, especially because I finally get an excuse to make a housewife reader its so cute AAAA. Enjoy! ⟢

જ⁀➴ Warning ! … This contains both NSFW and SFW content.

It took some time for her to fully open up to you, not necessarily because she didn’t trust you but more because she wasn’t sure how to be open. She is used to being alone, interacting isn’t something she is used to, especially when expressing her emotions or sometimes thoughts.

As months passed, she felt different around you. She was more comfortable around you and every day she would try her best to come back home as soon as possible just to see you again.

Her dreams have now become just about you. In every dream, her most peaceful ones, you are always there.

If she manages to find something she thinks you’ll like during her mission; she will definitely bring it home and gift it to you, just to see your eyes light up and lips curl into a smile.

Slowly things change in the relationship. She becomes more affectionate and a bit more talkative.

However it will also take time for Angell to understand her own feelings. She has never felt such emotions, at first she thought she was sick until she came to a conclusion that what she was feeling was love. Her confession was awkward, she didn’t exactly know what to say so she just told you how she has been feeling the past few weeks.

Oh the face she made when you told her you feel the same way, her eyes lit up like a kid it was adorable.

She loves sneaking hugs behind your back as you cook or wash the dishes, she stays there for a good while just observing you.

Gifts from her are more expected, as well as many calls from her if her mission is a bit long. She wants to make sure you are home safe and that no one is trying to getting inside.

Compliments your food a lot, she loves coming home to the smell of homemade food.

Cuddle with her PLEASE, she enjoys it, it brings comfort to her. Most times she is the big spoon, but on bad days she doesn’t mind being the little spoon.

Talking about bad days, it is easy to catch up when she is upset, sometimes it can be that the missions have tired her; but the best way to make her feel better is by helping her relax first to ease her mind, then ask about her day.

Shares her makeup products with you, she can help you do your makeup and you can help her with hers <3

Angell will definitely let you do her hair, she likes the feeling of you brushing it, occasionally she will let you do a different hairstyle on her (I feel like a ponytail would look great AAA, maybe a messy bun?).

Cuddle with her on the sofa while listening to music as you watch her pet fishes swim.

I feel like stroking her hair will make her sleep faster, sometimes she will stare at you if you automatically stop— as a silent ‘please keep going’.

Usually hides her wounds from you, or just says it’s nothing and it will heal quickly. Yet she cannot deny the way her heart melts when you start to treat her cuts and wounds, it shows how much you truly care and worry about her.

Got you two matching pijamas! She thought the idea was cute and that you would like it, she has seen couples do that after all.

Whenever she can she will bring already made food from a restaurant or something, just so you can relax a bit from cooking.

Takes you to simple dates, she prefers ones at night, if not, movie nights at home it is! You two can bake together too, teach her some skills and all.

That leaded to horrible disasters by the way… she cuts stuff with her dagger, she grabs spoons like a toddler would grab a crayon and drop any mixture everywhere.

Just be patient with her.. please </3

She is into bondage, see those handcuffs? They are for YOU.

She likes using toys, she has bought a few she would like to try on you, but when the moment comes she can’t find them… She knows it’s somewhere in her closet but it is pilled up with clothes and other stuff so good luck searching.

Shower sex. There are times she comes home from a mission covered in blood, so she suggests showering with you.

This leads to.. a heated up make out, she simply can’t resist you. So before you can think, you already find yourself pinned against the tiled wall by Angell.

Like she will literally eat you out in the shower.

She enjoys riding your face, she is gentle though, grinding gently and a bit slow, but she will pick up the pace once she is close to cumming.

Her moans are sweet and a bit quiet, mostly comes out as sighs of pleasure and small noises. She isn’t really the loud type.

With her strap though? OH SHE IS A MONSTER. She will fuck fast and make sure to hit the right spots.

Places a hand on your mouth or gags you, telling you to quiet down but how can you when she literally fucks you so good?

Other times she appreciates more gentle sex. Slow, passionate, and enjoyable. She loves seeing your face turn into one of pure pleasure, and hearing your sweet moans gets her even more heated.

She will also do it on the couch, you sitting on her lap grinding on it while she desperately kisses and marks you as hers. She will whispers ‘I love you’s ’ and ‘ you’re doing so good, keep going ’.

You know what? Why not fuck you from behind while you are washing dishes too. She will bend you over and use her strap on you, her fingers, or will kneel down and eat you out.

There was this one time she ate you out on top of the dining table, saying how you are the dessert.

Aftercare is very important. She makes sure you are okay and if she hurt you in any way. She will help you clean up and brings you water or snakes if you want. Later, she will cuddle with you in bed; quietly telling you praises and giving you kisses until you two fall asleep.

It's AU Time Baby

I've been meaning to share this for awhile, but I am... so forgetful

Kingdom Lethicus AU (this is so long, sorry)

Yeah, I shared one awhile ago, but this one is a little different. I am a master at creating several AUs that are slightly different.

Anyway, Marius' story is pretty much the same pre-canon. He is Victor's most loyal knight and friend and a paladin of Lathander. The AU centers around him and his Struggles.

Lethica, however, is the queen of kingdom in Stryga. I say queen but in the AU she's called the High Priestess bc her kingdom is a theocracy devoted to the goddess Stryga. She still wears a mask as it's a part of her religion and something about how none may see the High Priestess' face as she is considered holy too (kinda Divine Right of Kings, but also the High Priestess is considered as close to Stryga as a mortal can get). I like to imagine her in all sorts of fun outfits and hairstyles bc she's queen and I can.

Lethica travels to Vitonia to establish relations between the two kingdoms. When she arrives, Victor assigns Marius as a kind of guard and guide because he trusts Marius the most, of course.

Marius takes his job very seriously and Lethica is impressed. She and Victor have meetings to discuss politics and alliances, but she and Marius also spend a good deal of time together. Marius was very professional at first, he's doing a job and she's literally the ruler of another country. But as time goes by, he starts to slip. She's so kind and elegant and beautiful. He can't help but fall for her.

This causes many problems. He's a knight, she's queen, he's supposed to be celibate. It won't work, but he longs. He has a crisis of faith and is constantly praying to Lathander for guidance, bc he would NEVER forsake his vows, but he can't deny his feelings.

They get along so well too. She's gotten him to loosen up and they can just talk. She tells him about Stryga, both the place and the goddess and he tells her all about Vitonia and Victor (there's a point where she's thinks Marius has a crush on him). He has tremendous respect for her religion despite Stryga being a goddess of death.

At some point, probably before Marius' major crisis moment, she shows him her face. She's been flirting with him for some time now (she thinks it's cute how red he gets) and decided that she wants to reveal herself.

Marius is under the impression that this is a Bad thing. Like, "Wait are you doing something wrong by showing me this? I thought no one was meant to see your face!" He even looks away when she takes the mask off. But she assures him that she has the choice to show him. The common folk aren't supposed to look upon her, she's meant to be untouchable, holy, but if she deems someone worthy, she may willingly show them. He flushes at being considered worthy of such a thing.

And the sight is breath-taking. She's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. She lightly teases him and he gets very flustered. They come close to kissing (there's a lot of tension at this point), but they don't.

Victor finds out eventually, I'm not sure if Marius confesses to him or he just observes them and goes, "Oh." Marius likely confesses either way, out of guilt. He supplicates himself before Victor and apologizes profusely for his lapse of faith. I don't know exactly how Marius' religion works and how he conducted himself there, so for my purposes, Victor is fine with this. He may have some reservations bc he's currently establishing alliances with Lethica, but whatever, it's fiction. Marius is shocked. It seems that this was a big deal to no one but him.

I also have a scene where he goes to the cathedral of Lathander in the castle and begs for some kind of sign as to what to do. This goes against his vows, but he cannot deny his feelings. He begs Lathander to tell him what he should do. "If you tell me it is wrong, then I will remain strong. I will drive it from my mind, if that is what you wish. But, if it does not go against my vows... if I will not forsaken you in pursuing this... please... please tell me."

After a brief silence in which he thinks he will receive no sign, he hears the hoot of an owl. Looking up, he finds a barn owl inexplicably roosted in the loft of the cathedral. Shortly thereafter, the owl flies off and seemingly disappears. It takes him a moment to realize that this may be the sign he was looking for.

I'm not sure if this happens before or after the Lathander scene, but Lethica gives him her holy symbol. I don't think there is a canon representation of Stryga's holy symbol, so I made it up. It's a full moon with wings wrapped around it, with an owl's face set in the moon. There are likely gemstones in it, but I haven't decided the configuration. It's made of silver and attached to a chain.

Marius tells her that he couldn't possibly take this, as it's literally hers, but she says she wants him to have it and it's not like she can't get a new one. It's to remember her by. Marius is still shocked and remains so for quite some time. Keep in mind, they haven't kissed yet (nor confessed their feelings). He wears it under his clothes.

This probably takes place as she's leaving, hence why she gives it to him to remember her by. I imagine that she leaves, but comes back at some point and that's when shit REALLY starts happening.

I'll stop there bc this is very long, but I'll add to this post as I think of more things :3

[natootaro]

Upper moons and their hidden talents

TW. Headcanons, might not make sense

Kokushibo:

If you think his talent is fighting with katana, you're right, but that's just a talent without passion

In reality, he loves making origami and he's pretty good in doing them

He knows history of breathing techniques very well, so he sometimes tells some fun facts for Kaigaku

He can speak Chinese and Russian quite well, he also learned how to sew and learned the law by heart twice

Douma:

He naturally was interested in biology since he was a child

He was often reading books about human body and flowers/plants

Out of boredom, he read the history of different religions many times, so he has some knowledge about them

He can ice-skate

Akaza:

I think it's canon that he can draw very well

He also is very flexible and it surprised Keizo when he was training with him for the first time

He can do a maiko hairstyle

Nakime:

She knows how to play other instruments than biwa, and can learn very quickly

A master of hiding the dead bodies

Hantengu:

He's creative when it comes to killing people

He manipulates very well by gaslighting and guilt tripping a person

Gyokko:

Idk bro's another Picasso

Gyutaro:

He's great with taking care of small kids

I'm sure he knows a lot about mathematics too.

Daki:

She knows best what colors go together, what accessories can be added, etc. in houses or whatever.

She does makeup best

Kaigaku:

When he was a human, he could cover great distances without stopping by running

He has a knack for the basics of history (He knows lots from Kokushibo's stories)

Dark Souls 1 faces references Part 1: Oscar, Ricard, Solaire,

Heyyyy Dark Souls artists (all five of you who still use this website fdshfhd), I have great news for you! The curse of Dark Souls 1 (being horrendously undocumented in terms of NPC references) is over!!!

Long story short, I've seen a screenshot of Ciaran that made me question whether she actually had face data in versions of the DLC before Remastered. That started a long chain of me asking literally every person online that I could think of, with no one responding except for single Redditor redirecting me to modding community for Soulsborne, and there, out of waaaaay too many people, finally, someone was kind enough to help me out!

Their only contacts I have for reference are rayanwasalsotaken on Discord and RayanTheMad on Twitter! Yet I've only learned Rayan had a Twitter AFTER posting the screenshot dumps there, so.... 🤡 yeah that was frustrating. Twitter allow editting posts already!! They told me to be free to share the screenshots they gathered online instead of them (they said it was jarring for them to go spread images across social media and wikis. fair and valid.)! Posts will be in several parts as there are several angle shots and sometimes some explaining to do!

Oscar

Okay so, apparently, the boy does not have blue eyes! You know who does (kinda) have? RICARD!

Ricard

Well, actually not even blue, but a more dark shade of greyish green!

Nonetheless, it could be assumed blue from afar! ! And, fun fact! Whereas they look very similar, they are NOT identical!

Aside of having different eye color and Ricard's hair being more saturated (more yellow), they do have different eye shape too; Ricard's is more downturned! Ricard also has a slightly bigger nose! I guess even with limitations of NPC data of Dark Souls 1, they did try to point out the differences in vibe!

Solaire

Nothing new to see here, his screenshots are actually viral, unlike others, but here have a look anyway x) Interestingly enough, his face data changes the hairstyle in the bad ending of his questline; whereas Rayan didn't take screenshot of just that change specifically, it actually IS documented and confirmed!

(This screenshot is from different source: ( x )) I just think it is really good to know that even back in Dark Souls 1, developers bothered to add the lore appropriate changes that are not even possible to observe without datamining dhfhdsdf

Anastacia

Interestingly enough, while Anastacia uses unique model rather than player NPC base one, the data for NPC still exists in the game's files, apparently!

It is actually very convenient to have it, because her unique model does NOT have eyes texture:

At the same time, you can see that this 'unique model' appears to reuse assets from NPC data, as the model for hair is identical, and her face even has the same issue of eyebrows always being that brown color when they aren't grey. I wonder if NPC model lacked functionality intended (like NPC models weren't created to have this pose and animation), so they copy+pasted it mostly on unique asset?

Even with that, I suppose her hair is canonically more "yellow", and her player model is the only reference for her eye color.

Color of Estus Flask (the flask itself, not liquid inside of it!), appropriately enough!

Additionally, the hairbun is definitely something they've settled with even in her concept, so I suppose she holds "priority" for this hairstyle! RIP the braid though

Headcanons for certain Magoland masks

I'm aware that Merry Magoland is not 100% canon, but screw it. I implement it and its masks into my headcanon universe anyways.

... And at that point, it begs the question as to how Magolor knew about certain people to be capable of making masks out of them.

Of course, one could easily interpret Magolor just traveling across dimensions and through the timeline to find out himself, but I prefer to go with a more fun route for my interpretation instead.

I'm more than glad to share my headcanons for certain masks:

-The blue, green and yellow Kirbies were literally just Magolor giving more color palettes for Kirby because he thinks Kirby is very special and decided to give him utmost privileges. Lol.

-How did Magolor find out about Nightmare? Here's how: King Dedede has a photo of Nightmare somewhere in his castle. It's there to spread awareness to one of Popstar's earliest threats, and it's also there for the waddle dees in the castle to make fun of. Magolor encountered the photo when he came by Dedede's castle one time.

-"Gray Coo" was the result of Magolor trying to create a fake love interest for Coo to go along with Rick's and Kine's love interests. Magolor was originally going to call it "Poo" until the waddle dee staffers for the park turned that down and instead suggested it to be named "Gray Coo" or else they wouldn't put it up, which Magolor reluctantly agreed. Coo felt embarrassed and awkward when he saw the mask and was told about its purpose, while the rest of the animal friends laughed their butts off as they think that the mask is hilarious.

-How did Magolor find out about Dark Matter to make masks for Dark Matter Swordsman and Zero? Dedede and the animal friends told him about it. When Magolor first met Gooey and learned his origins, he was fascinated to learn more about Dark Matter, so those guys told him more. Dedede has a photo of DMS in the castle, while saying that Zero was super easy to remember the appearance of.

-My headcanon universe disregards a lot of True Arena content from many games, so this means that the Marx Soul stuff does not exist in my headcanons. I interpret that the Marx Soul mask came 100% out of Magolor's own twisted mind. His own invention. He thought of making an alt mask for his buddy Marx and decided to make a more menacing version of him. Marx was ecstatic when he saw the mask.

-Magolor didn't physically encounter a clockwork star himself, but Marx and Susie were able to walk him through about what they look like, allowing him to piece together the appearance of Nova to make a mask for it.

-The alternate Ribbon mask (friend's hairstyle) was a recent hairstyle that Adeleine gave Ribbon. Magolor was interested in giving Ribbon a second mask, and so she and Adeleine told him about the alternate hairstyle to make a mask for.

-The alternate DMK design (dark mirror) was not actually something that Magolor learned about, but made on his own. He didn't plan to make a secondary DMK mask (because they're not friends) until he noticed all the other star allies had secondary masks, so he figured he'd do the same for DMK, albeit just a lazy color hue change. He sometimes look at both DMK masks to laugh at their edginess.

-How did Magolor find out about Drawcia? Drawcia is known amongst Vividria individuals across Popstar. A Vividria slipped out information about Drawcia and depicted her in a painting to show to Magolor, giving him the opportunity to make a mask of her.

-Dark Daroach and Dark Nebula were things that Daroach told Magolor about. When Daroach first came to Magoland to see the masks, he thought it was both hilarious and ironic for the masks to exist. He pointed out that he didn't see a mask depicting Magolor being possessed by a cursed artifact (there's the master crown mask, but that's the phase where he hadn't been possessed yet).

-How did Magolor know about Galacta Knight? Hyness told him.

-Magolor was trying to fill up some slots with alt color swaps, explaining the "EX" masks for Whispy Woods, Mr. Dooter, Fatty Puffer, Goriath, Grand Doomer, Metal General, Landia and Traitor Magolor.

-How in the heck did Magolor find out about Sectonia, and not just that, but her original Joronia form as well? Taranza has photos and paintings of her all over the Royal Road castle. That's how Magolor found out. He decided to make the masks to honor the memory of Joronia/Sectonia and he'd figure Taranza would be grateful to the masks. Uhhh.... he eventually did, but initially he had an outrage because Magolor did it without permission. It's fine now, though.

-Magolor saw the Robobot Armor turned pink one time. It was during one time when he and Kirby simultaneously visited Susie in her home planet that contains the HWC headquarters. Magolor wanted to see Kirby ride around in Invader Armors, so Susie let that happen for him to see. That's how he knew to make a Robobot Armor mask.

-Susie's weekend outfit is, indeed, an outfit that she likes to wear on the weekends. Magolor was physically seen her wearing it, giving him the idea to make a mask for it.

-Susie has photos of her dad in the company's headquarters. Magolor briefly had a weird fixation on Haltmann by virtue of being a fellow egg-shaped money liker, just like he is. This made it a no brainer that he was going to make a Haltmann mask for the park.

Susie was initially not happy to see the weekend outfit and Haltmann masks because Magolor made them both without permission. She was getting close to threatening to sue him until he apologized and said he did it for honorable and celebrative purposes. Eventually, Susie relented and became perfectly fine with the masks existing, but she really wishes that Magolor had asked for permission first.

-Morpho Knight is very elusive in my headcanons, so how did Magolor find out about him? He found out through Elfilin and Leon. They remembered what he looks like and were glad to tell Magolor when he expressed wanting to know.

-I'll make it clear that while I headcanon the games mostly happening by order, Merry Magoland opens after Forgotten Land's events for me. This explains how Magolor knew about New World inhabitants such as Elfilin, awoofies, Carol and Leon to make masks of them. He also watched Kirby perform his mouthful mode stuff when he visited the New World, giving him the chance to make a mask of that too.

-Wait... Forgo Dedede is among the New World masks. How did Magolor find out about that when Dedede is back to normal now? Elfilin told him about the incident. He vividly remembers what Dedede looked like when Fecto Forgo further possessed him.

-----

Ok... that's all of the more questionable masks covered in my headcanons! Thanks for reading if you made it through all of this.

Elevator Hitch Genderbending rambles (part one of maybe many)

Hello! Thought I'd flex a little of my research and talk about my designs. Obviously these are pretty fluid, but yeah!

Ms. Protagonist!! Oh the miss average lady you are.... That's really the core of her: average. She dislikes standing out and prefers high pants and a jacket that's loose with little/no scaffolding. She's very obviously feminine/a woman but likes to be a lot more lowkey about it

I like the idea of her having a perm...or at least having one at one point! Maybe the Co-worker convinces her to. But her hair is rather short and a little closer to her head than c!protag's. I'm very okay with her hair being less strict to the time period, since her masc counterpart isn't :}

A general "rule" I have for genderbends is to give or take about 4 inches if you're going one way or the other. She just radiates 5'3 woman to me. I apologize. She wears a cute wedge, which gives her about an inch or two.

70's makeup was much more simple/lowkey compared to the bumper eras of the 60s and 80s. There was a lean more for natural makeup, popularizing pink tinted lip gloss and the invention of cream eye-shadows. F!PT does closer to the minimum, lip-gloss and mascara, but nothing intense.

Oh Ms. Co-worker... Oh miss ma'am...

Some people may not agree with me on this one but I cannot resist a big lady opportunity. She very much is tall and broad-shouldered, but very confidently super feminine. She's already tall but loves a good heel so she gets to be even taller. as a treat <3

She loves fashion and has more outfits than triple the years she's been alive and she wears ALL of them. She also changes her hairstyle very often. Art above is just what I think she wears for the game events.

Her makeup is the 70's STANDARD. She does the whole thing and man does she do it well.

You KNOW F!CW is all over that pastel eye-shadow oh my goodness. She can get away with more eccentric/less work appropriate make-up since she's 1) gorgeous and it fits her perfectly 2) nepo-girlboss

Some more examples!

I won't go into insane detail about how 70's makeup worked--maybe in another post, though!

Normal Gal!!

Sorry for such a more low-effort drawing haha. Didn't even get her hair the way I wanted to...

She's also ! utterly average! Which is the point I think haha. She wears a similar outfit to canon with an office skirt that doesn't hug her form much and tights with a pump potentially like this

She doesn't wear any make-up other than mascara and a lip-gloss :} there is no blush/skin/eye definition to keep that sorta flat/off feel c!normal guy has.

Her hair is inspired by this! I didn't draw it totally properly, but it's rather short with two clips on the side and asymmetrical to keep the same gestures as C!NG

Hope this was at least to fun to read ^^! Will definitely be toying with their designs etc more in the future!

Kirari Moroboshi Headcanons

꒰🍊 — Requested by anon!；

꒰🎐 — Though, I will be honest, it is very small, it's also a little self indulgent since I really like Kirari as well…；

꒰🍊 — Divider Credit；

First and foremost, you can't tell me that she doesn't make custom bracelets for everyone she's friends with. It is colorful, full of star beads, but also matches each and everyone of her friends! And if you want to have one, just ask her – you will instantly be considered her friend!!

She is shown to know how to sew time and time again, so I also like to think she makes some clothes for her closest friends as well! Most of the time she just customizes some pieces of clothes that have already been brought – for herself or for her friends.

One thing that might be unexpected, but is pretty obvious to me, is that Kirari is really into fashion – especially sub cultures! Her preference is obviously decora, but she really enjoys seeing and learning about other styles as well. She probably has piles of magazines that she bought once because she was interested in learning more about it. They're also probably pretty old and might be valuable nowadays! She won't sell them tho…

That being said, she really likes dress up games (arguably, one of her favorite genres of games). Style Savvy, Fashion Dreamer, Flash dress up games, Dress Up Apps, she wants to get her hands into everything she can and (try to) have fun with each and every one of them! The younger idols often ask Kirari for her cellphone so they can play her dress up games too.

This one is also pretty much canon to the point I don't know if it can be considered a headcanon, She likes to collect stickers and use them to decorate everything she can. Her phone case, her portable consoles, her notebooks and anything else that she owns, she likes to put her little twist to make it hers!

One of her dream jobs is to make outfits and accessories for all bodies so anyone can feel cute like her!

When she was younger (around 12-ish years old), she used to make OCs and fanfiction of her favorite games/animes – her OCs would always share the trait of being cute and small since she was very insecure about her height not making her cute. While nowadays she doesn't have much time to play and watch new stuff, her newest OCs, while still very cute, are as tall as her.

↑ She probably asked, at least once, for Hina to make a single manga pinel of one of her OCs. Whether she accepted or not is up to you, though.

Also, also, she likes to encourage Anzu, Rika (and by extension Mika) and many other idols to make OCs as well, and she likes to draw them when she has some time to spare. She really likes to look at these drawings from time to time because, for her, it shows how unique her friends are and how beautiful they all become when they're together like this.

While she's not asked that often, she really likes to do other idols' hairstyles before their shows, and will be more than happy to assist them with it!

She also wants to learn how to make better stage props, not only so her own MVs can be more authentic, but also because she wants to help her friends bring more life to their own MVs.

@livmadart fun Detective Conan AU ideas and drawings inspired me to share my own AU idea.

This AU is called - The Guardiens Of Beika Where Conan and the Detective Boys become the new guardians of the veil, and use their magic powers to fight against the Black Organization. (More information about the AU is underneath the line. Feel free to say what you think of my AU in the comments or reblog.)

AU Storyline; One of Shinichi's ancestors was the previous keeper of the Heart. After that ancestor died, the Heart became a family heirloom that has been past down to the eldest Kudo child on their 16th birthday. Both the Heart's origin and magical powers remained hidden from the Kudo family, until the day Shinichi went to Tropical Land. That same day, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko had to sneak back into Tropical Land when they discovered Genta accidentally left his phone in one of the park's bathrooms. This leads the children to witness the men in black force-feeding Shinichi the Apoptoxin drug, and watching Shinichi's body shrink. After helping Shinichi escape from the park's security guards, the Heart's power awakens and the spirit of Xin Jing appears before them. Xin Jing explains that the Heart had forseen the many difficult battles that awaited Shinichi, and decided to grant him it's power. The Heart also granted it's powers to Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko after witnessing their courage and kindness when helping Shinichi. At first, Conan didn't believe in the Heart's magic, nor did he want the others to be involved in his fight against the Black Organization. But Conan changed his mind after they all transformed and used their powers for the first time when saving the kidnapped CEO's daughter. They soon become famously known throughout Beika as "The Guardiens". Later on in the story, after solving the murder of Professor Masami Hirota, Haibara is chosen by the Heart to be the fifth (and final) guardian. Haibara didn't want to accept the Heart's power at first, mainly because of her background with the organization that she didn't think she deserved to be a guardian. It wasn't until the old blue castle investigation case that Haibara accepts her guardian powers in order to save Conan, Genta, and Mitsuhiko after they were kidnapped.

Other AU Details [contains anime spoilers!]:

When they transform into their guardian forms, the Heart not only gives them teenage bodies, but also changes their appearance (such as different hairstyles and color), and makes it so their fingerprints and DNA can't be identified. They also gave themselves codenames based off their elemental power.

The groups guardian forms (including they're hairstyles and color), powers, & codenames; [the guardians' outfits were made on the online character creator game "Witch Guardian Maker v2". They didn't have a male body or outfits options on the game, but I tried making the boys' outfits look less girly]

drawing version of them by @zestyperiwinkle

Conan aka Shinichi [codename: Rakurai] - Quintessence/Keeper of the Heart

Haibara [codename: Scarlet] - Fire

Ayumi [codename: Aqua] - Water

Mitsuhiko [codename: Tenkū] - Air

Genta (codename: Terra) - Earth

Since Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko knows Conan's true identity, they are with Conan more offen and get involved in cases way more then in canon. Such as being there when Conan first met Heiji.

The group still solve cases as the "Detective Boys", but with more dangerous cases or sometimes cases involving the Black Organization, they transform and use their guardian powers.

In the AU, the police aren't entirely sure if the Guardiens can be trusted, and has even opened an investigation on the Guardiens' true identities. But during dangerous situations, some officers and investigators (such as Sato and Takagi) are willing to work together with the Guardiens.

The FBI and Public Security Bureau are also wary of the Guardiens, but are more willing to work with them in their fight against the Black Organization, and doesn't investigate the Guardiens' true identities.

At the beginning, Agasa didn't know about the Detective Boys being The Guardiens. It wasn't until they transformed and used their powers to capture Agasa and Shinichi's parents after they "kidnapped" the group.

After learning about the Detective Boys' powers and the Heart of Kandrakar. Shinichi's father, Yusaku Kudo, began researching on the Heart's origin.

In this AU, Heiji first figured out the Detective Boys were the Guardiens before figuring out that Conan was Shinichi. Heiji kept quiet about knowing the Detective Boys' secret until he found out Conan's other secret.

Kaitou Kid also learns the Detective Boys' secret. Like in canon, The Detective Boys first encounter Kaitou Kid on top of the Haido City Hotel's rooftop. Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko (in their guardian forms) later try to help Conan capture Kaitou Kid during the Suzuki family's party, but failed. It was then that Kaitou Kid started suspecting that Conan and the Guardiens had a connection to each other. Kid didn't figure it out though until the events of "The Last Wizard of the Century".

FBI agent, Shuichi Akai, starts to suspect the true identities of the Guardiens shortly after faking his death, but doesn't saying anything or try confirming his suspensions.

Vermouth suspects that the Guardiens are working with the FBI, but hasn't figured out the Guardiens' true identities. And since she doesn't have any proof of the Guardiens' involvement, Vermouth decides not to tell the other members about her suspensions.

(I might add more to this if I think of anything else)

Update on my current runs!

Silkina the Bard Waveservant -

She got the Volo eye (not pictured) and has been helping her friends while looking for a cure. This is my first "good" solo run, so it's a lot of content, more than I'm used to! Definitely going slower than my usual, but still a lot of fun! Also never realized how funny Karlach is lmao. Just getting to the goblin fight so we'll see how it goes! Very excited to get Wyll's party scene!! Silkina is sassy, but kind and really an outlier among other waveservants because of it. Well, she's really good at connecting with others at least. Despite it being odd, since most Waveservants (especially clerics) are quite standoffish and introverted, Silkina focuses on making her outgoing nature work for her, sharing the might and fury of Umberlee with her words (and music).

Also.. after getting the Volo eye and almost everyone disapproving, I noticed Wyll didn't.. but he didn't have a ! either. I had her talk to him anyway and he was like "Welcome to the one eye club! A woman with one eye is very intriguing c:" and I giggled.

Efeniti (Spawn Astarion ending AU run) -

In the exact same place it's been for a few weeks lmao I have not touched this playthrough. I AM SCHTALLING. I know what you're thinking... because I'm an AA fan... but really, I just can't emotionally handle the break down scene after he brutally stabs Cazedor. Or the brutal stabbing. I am really not ready for that. I have my own feelings for why and what it makes me experience, but maybe if I actually go through with it this time, I can talk about it (it's not that bad, I'm just procrastinating).

This version of Efenity is who she would be if she hadn't lost the woman who was like a mother to her. If she had been able to have a somewhat normal life and become a private magic teacher in the upper part of the city. She's much kinder and able to temper herself much better.

Efenity (Canon AA romance run #whatever) -

This is idk like the 5th time I've played as Efenity. I've lost count 🤷🏽‍♀️ Most of these runs, I only got to Act 3 and only 2 I've gotten to the final fight and couldn't win it after trying over and over. This time I plan to finish it!!! I want my epilogue, dang it! I killed Minthara this time, at the party. There was a leftover from EA with a voiced Tav scene. If you killed Minty and the goblins at the party, that night or morning after(?) there's some conversation and Tav says something in the cut scene! ANYWAY... I tried it and it didn't happen 😭😭😭 I either did it wrong (I attacked before Minty had her murder cutscene) OR they patched it out of the game! I could go back and try it again, but I barely won that fight and it took me SO many tries (mostly due to needing to long rest).

But! Regardless! Even though I didn't get that cool voiced Tav scene... I have added Efenity killing Minthara and the goblins at the party to her canon story. Because it just makes sense that she'd do that. Originally, she just uses her to get to Moonrise but I scrapped that. While Efenity just sees the tieflings as collateral damage, she knows Shadowheart was struggling with that whole ordeal which did bother her... she cares for SH and she is her first real friend. And with Minthara insulting her for not wanting to sleep with her, on top of it...

Efenity was like OKAY. Time for you to go, ma'am.

Solenia Omraebra, the Drow Cleric -

I've only had her for about a week and I love her. She's also been through at least 6 different hairstyles 😭 Solenia is my newest Tav, a Drow and cleric of Eilistraee! She's very studious and scholarly. I don't know much about her beyond that yet. Still working on her backstory and whatnot, BUT she is good to a fault. She wants to save everyone, in every way that she possibly can. Even those she probably shouldn't get close enough to, to try to save. Even those she is told are irredeemable. She's romancing Gale! She's just getting through Act 1 stuff and almost to the goblin camp!

[ominashii]

'v' ello there! what are aspects about your characters that notably stand out to you specifically? be it something you personally love or whatnot

ohhh boy i haven't gotten to yap about em on here in a WHILE lemme go down the list, this is gonna be long

Omi? They're adorable, and they know it. They look and act very disarming, but they're still very clever, secretive, and mischievous, with a whole separate, more serious side to em. Plus they're really fun to write given they're both illiterate, and can't lie outright. (half-fey) They're just a bundle of fluff and mysteries~

Kiari? She's a (partially) insane, immortal catgirl that loves cats, girls, hunting, and killing. She's brutally honest, extremely sassy, and changes moods at the drop of a hat. She's THE most fun to write for by far. Plus, its interesting to write the perspective of someone who's lived countless years while their mind Was Not Built for it. How have her morals shifted? How much has her sanity eroded? What is she willing to put up with to keep herself entertained? What value does a life have to her? Always thinking about this for her.

Shiri has been on the backburner as of late, but his main appeal is his lack of expressive emotion. He'll make frequent puns and jokes, subtle references, and poke at some tropes, but it's all delivered with the same deadpan tone of voice. Likewise, nothing really phases him much, and his expression rarely changes. It goes a bit deeper, but that's part of what's in progress. He looks cold and badass, but he's kind of a dork. It's great.

Viola I'll go off her previous self (Psionic mage), since her current lore is hard to work with. She's a bookworm through and through, but likes to mess with people sometimes. The most fun for me is her subtleties. She's similarly deadpan as Shiri, but much more snarky when you examine her words. She'll pretend to read out fake articles for an extremely specific problem. She has a second voice underneath her own that sometimes says something different, inducing a headache in the listener. She changes hairstyles often to look cuter, making no mention of it. She appears as a different species to every individual. It's so much fun.

She also has Several alters, but that would be a post of its own.

Juliet, disposable random lobotomy corp employee promoted to full OC status. She's a proper tomboy, mentor/big sister figure, and skilled at what she does, but very carefree. I never had anyone like her before, and she's so much fun! Her dynamic with Pallene is especially cute, but they're both still relatively new.

Mimi. Fluffy space critter. They're as close to my heart as Omi, and have twice as many mysteries. Their design would be one of the standouts here, since they have no mouth. Instead, they communicate telepathically with a slightly broken english (or, canonically, whatever the listener's primary language is), which is really cute~ Then there's their big eyes and ears. They carry all the expression, and its really really fun to draw different emotions with em. Plus, black sclera & white pupils on a friendly lil critter like this is nice! The other standout would be their very inquisitive nature. They don't know anything! They're constantly curious about people and the world around em! And they're always so happy to learn!

I could go on and on, but it'll just turn into describing everyone at length, and putting these thoughts together takes tiiime

[vanessalocke]

So this is my design of Hungary and Poland (OCTP)

The design and profile of my OCs are closely related to my lore about them. If you have time you can read it here: Nếu một ngày Số Mệnh mỉm cười với chúng ta | If one day Fate smiles upon us - Chapter 1 - VanessaLocke - Hetalia (Anime & Manga) [Archive of Our Own]

Weaknesses: not good at allocating expenses so always in a state of empty pockets, not understanding housework, not knowing how to comfort others, sometimes behaving quite inconsiderately because of not understanding common sense, if not on a formal occasion she goes out dressed like a homeless person (she has lived among old soldier men for so long that she does not care about her appearance), "wait for me ten minutes, I will shower and get ready" but 3 minutes later she is seen taking her motorbike out.

[ironladders]

of every ashrah outfit in all timelines, canon or even unused concept arts if they exist, which is your favorite? im very curious 👀

this got kind of long & out of hand im sorry i just like gushing about this girl (+ i have to air out my thoughts on her skins. i have opinions on literally everyone's outfits)

sadly ashrah doesn't have many costumes to choose from because she's only been in 3 games 💔 oh well though

i think my #1 look for her has to be her mk1 union of light skin:

like it's probably one of the prettiest skins in the entire game. insanity. it's so elegant/beautiful and her hairstyle is really cute, i like how it frames her face. in a way it kinda reminds me of her original design but updated to have more detail. the flowers are so pretty and ugjhghgljgkljg idk what else to say i just love this skin so much

that said i don't dislike any of her outfits, they're all great!

the only one that i actually think needs some help is her ood skin; it looks fine at first glance but the more you stare at it's just. hmmm. this could've marinated a bit longer

there's also the issue that this doesn't feel like an Evil Version of ashrah, which i think is a problem when the whole point of the ood skins is that they're supposed to be darker versions of the mk1 cast. but i digress

also if i may say something controversial..... i don't dislike ashrah's classic mkd/mka looks, i love them! BUT:

now that we've got a game where ashrah has distinct demonic features, i wish they did that for her older appearances. because as much as i love her deception skin and want them to remake it in mk1 (please @ nrs we need another skin for ashrah), she just looks like some lady? if that makes sense? like,,,, i would see deception ashrah in the grocery store and pay her zero mind:

i guess before mk1 the other demons also just looked like regular humans but idk... some facial markings similar to the ones sareena had would've at least been nice. they've got the kanji on her hat translating to "demon/ghost" and that's it.

and i know that's sort of the point, that she's supposed to look like a normal human upon first glance, but idk man! she wasn't done with her absolution yet, midway should've let her look a little strange 😭😭 there's some people who want her to have a normal human face if/when nrs gives us deception ashrah as a skin, but i'd rather they keep her demonic features

on the topic of mk1: i love the contrast here on her mk1 default between ashrah's clothing — clearly inspired by angels — versus her actual appearance. it's really smart and imo reflects how much she tries to distance from her origins as a demon. it really sells the idea of her being an ascending demon & i hope everyone that makes fun of her hairline + face steps on a lego

when the banished trailer first revealed ashrah some people were sad she didn't have her hat, but tbh???? i feel like her mk1 default is fine without one. it would've been nice and probably helped older fans recognize her but i'm not sure if this outfit needs a hat. yknow.

the only other ashrah outfits to talk about (because again she has SO little it's criminal) is the ones from mkd concept art that didn't make the cut:

i have no strong opinions about either of these, they're here i guess. the first one is cool, i like the idea of ashrah with super long hair and she reminds me of a jedi there lmao. the second one is also okay but something about ashrah with a mask feels weird so i'm glad they didn't go with it

speaking of concept art CAN NRS SHOW US THE CONCEPT ART FOR THE MK1 DEFAULTS because i really want to know the early ideas they had for ashrah. we get the final character concepts for everyone which is fine but i desperately want to see the initial ideas they had. i hope they get added to the shrine in the future 🥲

idk how to end this so boom. ashrah face

Design Chatter - MLP Grand Line Gang!

>> Link to the art here! <<

I really enjoyed rambling about the East Blue Crew, so I'm back again to talk your ears off about the rest of the crew now that I've finally posted them! Once again, fair warning that this will be long and there will be spoilers!

I kept a few simple guidelines for myself in mind:

Keep it fun and surprising, in the spirit of the original!

I draw in the G4 style, but features from every gen and toy line are fair game

I love back card / blind bag style character blurbs. I live for crumbs of worldbuilding XD

I've purposefully not included cutie marks because I suck at drawing them and I'd never finish a piece if I had to draw them :v (maybe a post for another time?)

🌸Chopper🌸

In-universe:

Further than the Crystal Empire, even beyond Yakyakistan, Chopper hails from the frozen north. A skilled potion maker, he loves to brew warm healing tonics with ingredients found on the mountain. He's hoping he can learn to skywalk like the Reindeer in Robin's books!

Design:

Every now and again, it's nice to do a 1:1 translation of a character rather than a full reimagining! Reindeer appear in G4 during the special Best Gift Ever, so it's the little changes that make Chopper 'ponified'- the lighter patches on his face, ears and tummy. The swirls in his inner ears. Changing his hoof/antler colour to be just a little more pink. One thing I did add was little baby deer spots shaped like blossom for an extra pop of colour!

I chose to draw him in Defence Point because it's cuter 🥺 my mind also thought to draw Brain Point in the Equestria Girls style and I'm not sure the world is ready for that 😂 Defence Point was also supposed to harken back to a popular fluffy fan character- before I found out their creator isn't someone I want to be celebrating. But you live and learn when trying to reference fandom culture 🤷

📚Robin📚

In-universe:

Many hooves make light work! Having studied at the Mythica University and Golden Oak libraries alike, this magic scholar always has a spell to get her crew out of a pinch! During her travels, the wily CP9 tried restraining her magic with a tennis ball!

Design:

Hm. Put into pony form, Robin kind of looks like Twilight. Similar key colours and hairstyles can't really be avoided. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, though. Something about this combination must just give off 'bookish'! Besides, there are plenty of character foils to Twilight that look like her in canon, too. Moondancer, Sunset, Starlight... Robin could fall into this category- a promising student led astray by forces beyond her control. It certainly isn't easy being a magic student.

Rather than an odd outward appearance, Robin's fear factor is based on people's perceptions of her abilities. I feel like she's similar to Nami in looking normal and still getting demonised. Left to her own devices, she just likes to travel and study! So I didn't want to give her a super edgy design and feed into those misconceptions. Robin is at her coolest when she chooses to be wicked for herself!

She's a normal pony, but she's still a little more dark and mysterious than someone like Twilight. That sweeping black mane, heavy hooves, and curved horn—not to mention that colourful glint in her eye—make her sturdier than a Unicorn like Sanji, and her calm confidence lets you know it! I like to think Nami has inspired her to look into getting a big flowery leg design, but she's a little worried about being even more recognisable.

⭐Franky⭐

In-universe:

Self-acceptance and found family are super! Building each other up is almost as satisfying as building new airships... almost. This loud n' proud Griffon makes Canterlot cruisers and Ornithian pirate ships alike! Lately, within the crew, he's been helping Usopp come to terms with being a Cutie Mark-less creature. Every creature has worth and is deserving of love, with or without a mark!

Design:

Franky just kinda washed up from somewhere and that really ignited my imagination when it came to his appearance. From the start, I was adamant that he should be a creature with 'fingers'. There's something about crafting with your hands that can't be recreated with Unicorn magic.

MLP Griffons are known for their strong personalities and love of precious metals- so I thought one was a great fit for the unapologetic, totally authentic Franky! This larger body also gives him more space to customise, more feathers and fluff to style!

Horse noses are very closely linked to the shape of their mouths, so having the top half of his beak be metal avoided a lot of weird imagery. His pre-time skip design shows less of his cyborg nature, but being able to use bird forelegs definitely helped to dampen the weirdness of his bulky arms more than the noodly legs of a pony. Without the differentiation between fore and upper leg, I think he'd just look swollen! Besides, you do not want to take a strong right with added claws 😬

I think it's definitely easier to imagine a solo Griffon making ships than a solo pony! His large wings and long tail help keep him safe and balanced while he works high up, and his muscular back limbs help shift heavy materials. Those back legs are coloured to look like his Speedo, as they appear less fluffy than the rest of him.

🎶Brook🎶

In-universe:

This lifelong sailor knows no pony is an island. Music can bring every creature and animal on the seas together- if only you stop to listen ❤️ All our paths are bound to cross again one day, even if the seas are wide! Magic works in mysterious ways, no bones about it!

Design:

I felt that if I was going to go to the effort of drawing a full pony skeleton, I didn't want to then cover my hard work up with clothes. Now I'm thinking I should've- the structure on those limbs was hard to draw! I looked at real horse skellies, the Hidden Dissectibles figures, and even the 'Don't Mine at Night' MLP crossover parody song... None of it made it any easier 😂 would not recommend.

Seeing as there wasn't much I could do with his base design, I decided instead to add to it! In the climax of the Rainbow Rocks movie, the Siren villains summon giant magical projections of themselves to attack. This reminded me of Brook's soul leaving his body- so that's what I drew! Though it doesn't have any mind control powers, I still wouldn't advise touching this frosty apparition... or any of the sound waves it produces!

☀️Jinbei☀️

In-universe:

Design:

Keeps up with 'current' affairs! This sagely Seapony is a pillar of the community as well as Equestria! He helps the crew stay on course (emotionally and literally) as the world changes and expands around them- it's always an exciting time both above and below the surface!

I should've been more forward-thinking and drawn him up for Mermay! Seaponies have a long history with the MLP universe, appearing alongside their land counterparts at the start of G1- a fact I think is very fitting for his character. Of course, Jinbei's design is based on Whale Sharks, and Fishmen/Merfolk as a whole are so unique with how they can be designed. Seaponies too are different in every generation- so I had a lot of fun incorporating as many unique elements as I could!

I couldn't exactly make a horse wide and flat to mimic a Whale Shark's body as he does in his canon appearance, so I decided instead to lean in more to the cute spots and shark-shaped tail fin! Then I extended his sideburns to create a softer border between his body colours and to add back some visual interest lost by removing the large membrane fin G4 Seaponies have. Jinbei is already pretty hefty and strong, so a little extra fluff doesn't noticeably slow him down.

It's certainly more difficult to imagine hair as fins; they're so much more rigid. Without individual strands or the ability to curl like natural hair, it's a lot harder to suggest diverse textures. But I still think the semi-transparent look is a lot of fun to look at and layer, and it helps his blonde streaks stand out!

Though I could've put the sun brand on his flank, it just didn't look or feel right when we're so used to seeing it on his chest. Seaponies don't usually get their own marks, and the sun is a widely used symbol of freedom. Leaving his flank free still gives me the option of giving him a unique mark in the future- he's still a prominent individual in his own right!

[laurensxdeath]

🍓 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frosty - you're one of my dearest friends and there's so many amazing things about you. Your hairstyle is insanely cool and your horror knowledge is unmatched. (There has not been a single horror question i have ever asked that you haven't known the answer to). You have great movie/show taste. You're very fun to rant about character headcanons with, and the way you characterise alice in ur fics is awesome. You get her, and the way she thinks, its so so close to canon. (Also the fics r even better cause they're fruity). You have very cool gloves!! You're a very sweet and kind person. Also hot

[finalgirlminamurray]

for the new year i thought i’d start making some progress on laying out my ideas for my sort-of ocs/au setting, so here’s something i’ve had on the back burner for a while: the closest thing to visual depictions of the main four sawyer sisters that i can make. this is sort of a precursor to the big lore dump post i'm planning to drop soon about them

since i can’t draw (yes, i know anyone can learn with practice, but i don’t have the patience or discipline required for that) i’ve spent a lot of time playing around with picrews and similar icon makers to create my ocs’ likenesses as they exist in my head. these characters are maybe a bad choice for trying to recreate in picrew but i think this one gave me the best passing, if simplified, resemblance to how they look. this inherently makes them a lot cuter/prettier than they really should be but i had fun. you can probably tell who’s who from this 

design notes and other notes under the cut, as well as me actually using proper capitalization for once:

Patience should really have some gray streaks in her hair, but with this one I could either make it all gray or all black, and I chose the latter so she’d look more like herself. I’m sure everyone who’s played with these knows how hard it is to get older-looking characters in general - but she is supposed to be younger than she looks, and younger than her canon counterpart probably is anyway.

She has darker blue eyes and her hair is naturally wavy when it’s down, which it isn’t often. (Most picrews don’t have many good options to show her hair in a bun like I was picturing, so this worked out.)

The cigarette is there because it seemed right even though I don’t actually imagine her smoking that often. She probably does it when she’s alone, maybe when she needs an excuse for a break.

I liked making her look pissed off and about to snap at someone, but maybe can’t right now since she’s in public or something. The second they get home at least one of her sisters is going to get it—

I think their mother had black hair and brown eyes, and their biological father who they don’t talk about had lighter brown hair and blue eyes, and the girls inherited a mixture of traits, some of them also coming from their grandparents. The younger ones have no way of knowing how much of their father is in them physically - there’s no pictures of him in the house. Patience is the only one with any clear memories of him. 

Chastity can be one of the hardest characters to make in these things but also the most fun. It’s just hard to find one that lets me get her hair right - this was the closest, and I still had to mirror-flip the image and give her a fancy scarf. (Just imagine the plate is where you’d expect it.)

Flipping the image also meant I had to sacrifice the approximation of her birthmark being on the right side, but it’s kind of hard to see anyway. If there are options for scars or other facial markings, I usually give her something blue-to-purple colored on her left cheek, and since she always has the palest available skin tone it usually shows up.

She has black hair and pale blue eyes, though that point isn’t always obvious when she’s wearing sunglasses (if there’s an option for pink or purple-tinted shades and/or heart-shaped sunglasses, that’s what I’ll give her). She’s meant to be kind of unsettling-looking (the “staring into your soul” eye color). I think she takes after their grandmother the most.

She does need glasses and has worn them since she was about seven, but she prefers sunglasses now that she’s older, because her eyes are especially sensitive to light and it just looks cooler, even if it doesn't help her see any better.

If I can’t get the right hairstyle, I’ll just give her long, straight black hair and say she’s wearing her usual wig (also helps explain the lack of visible head injury). 

She’s usually wearing a lot of accessories, but this one’s limited with how much I can give her. I think she pierced her own ears with a heated sewing needle when she was 14 and only didn’t get in trouble because it took a while for Patience to find out, and in the meantime she hadn’t gotten an infection. She strikes me as the type to like making jewelry out of random small objects, so I like when the game has that kind of thing as an option.

She’s got a very cultivated aesthetic, and I’m usually going off the right vibes when I make her. I can almost always have her flashing a peace sign, though.

(Other things I like for her: dark eyeshadow that makes her eyes look all the more sunken, chipped black nail polish, stars and other astrological designs in her accessories, multiple necklaces at once, a splash of brighter color like hot pink or rainbow motifs, and of course as many pins as you can fit on her jacket or vest. I see her as someone who perhaps ironically started presenting a little more femme after coming into her queer identity, but very much in her own way.)

Temperance is sometimes the easiest one to make and sometimes the hardest. I can usually get a bloodstain to pass as her birthmark, if that’s an option, since people do tend to mistake it for one.

I used to have a harder time finding picrews that had long, wavy hair as an option, but it’s gotten better. I can’t do much to make her look perpetually windswept and kind of greasy, but I can make her look at least a little unkempt.

Her hair is dark brown, not black like her sisters, and she has brown eyes because I’ll only take inspiration from their canon counterparts’ actors if it suits me. I want to create a good amount of contrast between her and Chastity; they’re definitely fraternal twins.

I liked this jacket for her because it’s the right color and it looks like it has pockets, which are very important to a girl who’s always carrying a bunch of stuff, including things she picked up on the road. Plus it looks like she’s got some kind of bag over her shoulder, too. 

I also liked this expression for her because she looks kind of sinister and sly like she does right before going for a knife. I could have had her grinning cheerfully like her twin but it seems more fitting for how I write her to have her be the sinister sniler instead

I love when one of these has the jewelry option of a bird skull necklace because that’s part of my ideal image for her even though her canon counterpart doesn’t have one (that we see). I’m also fond of this picrew since it has that option and also a necklace made of teeth for Chastity - I might share my designs from that one someday after refining them a bit. Any sort of bone-related accessories really contribute to matching her vibe.

(Also I like when I can give a character only one earring, because I think Temperance only has her left ear pierced since Chastity offered to do it after her own went smoothly, but then she started bleeding and Chass, still not quite accustomed to that kind of thing happening to her sisters, freaked out a bit. Temperance, of course, didn’t mind since she finds the sensation of pain more interesting than anything, and she left it asymmetrical because it looked cool.)

If a picrew has a diverse enough range of skin tones (which they should!) I’ll make the other three sisters slightly more tanned so Chastity will stand out more; with Temperance it especially makes sense since she spends the most time  outdoors in the sun.

Also, if I’m working with a full-body dollmaker (which I don’t do as often; I’m not that good at coordinating outfits even for fictional people), I’m more likely to have her wearing a long skirt. She dresses primarily for her own comfort and practicality, and anything you (or your sewing-inclined younger sister) could get more pockets into seems fitting. I’ll note that I won’t put the girls in anything I couldn’t see their canon counterparts also wearing, for what it’s worth.

Lacey is of course the hardest to make unless you remind yourself that she’s not wearing her mask here, and even then it’s often hard to get her looking right. This might be a version of her that’s a bit younger than in the main timeline.

The vibe here is wide-eyed, innocent, slightly nervous farm girl who just noticed a stranger in her kitchen, and is still caught in the brief moment between fight and flight mode before she whacks you over the head with a sledgehammer killing you (hopefully) instantly.

She has beautiful big brown eyes and light freckles even though she doesn’t expose her face to the sun very much, because it seemed right.

I think out of all the sisters, she physically takes the most after their mother. She has her hair, her eyes, her build, probably most of her face even if she doesn’t see the resemblance…

She prefers her hair shorter for convenience, and she likes being able to change her appearance quickly with the masks, which helps her shift easily to whatever persona she’s taking on for the situation. She still is sometimes fond of accessorizing “secretly” under the mask, though.

(She was standing in the bathroom doorway watching Chastity and Temperance try to pierce their own ears the whole time, and when they turned to her and offered to do hers after Temperance’s bloody disaster, she fled the room. Years later she took Chass up on it and now sometimes privately wears her mother’s old jewelry. She gets the sense Patience might not like it if she knew her sisters were going through their mother’s things, but Patience never goes into their mother’s room herself, so who knows how she feels about it.)

She’s pretty equally comfortable presenting more “feminine” and more “masculine”, and the masks help - she finds it kind of fun to be able to try on a lot of different identities like that, including experimenting with gender. Sometimes their dinner guests aren’t very nice about it, but they’re never around for long anyway, are they?

She's the one who looks the most like her canon counterpart in my head, which is part of why she can be the hardest to make in a way that looks distinctive.

I should stop now because I have a whole big loredump post in the works with more information about these characters and I still haven’t gotten to Lacey’s section yet and I need to save details about her for that. But enjoy this as a teaser of sorts in the meantime 👀
