#7: Go to a wedding with, go to a party with, go to a museum with

Museum with Apen. One HUNDRED percent. He'd know all the cool stuff, and probably nerd out about it, which would be delightful. Party with Enel, so he could socialize for me. And wedding with Berlyne, so she could protect me from people who are doing the whole snowball dance deal

Thanks for the ask!

Berlyne Alvarado from The Silver Eye webcomic selling flowers! I don’t usually do backgrounds (simple as this one is), but I wanted to do cobblestones and flower boxes

Apen: *eating a cinnamon roll*

Berlyne: cannibalism

Apen: *confusin*

To Lady Merian

From Effie The Bookworm

Aperlyne Gingerbread

“C'mon, Apen! We have to get to the market before noon.” Apen stifled a eye roll.

“Don’t we have all the things you need? Berlyne, these groceries weigh at least 40 pounds.” Berlyne turned around abruptly and put her hands on her hips.

“Boy, if you wanna cook Christmas breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the family, be my guest.”

No response. Berlyne raised an eyebrow.

“Well?”

“No.” Apen grumbled.

Berlyne turned back around and began jogging towards the market. “The cook leads the shopping.”

Apen sighed and followed her. If his childhood hadn’t been filled with military training, it was unlikely that he would have been able to carry the bulky bags with his slight frame. They made their way towards the market, but Berlyne stopped at the public bulletin board and scanned the advertisements. She muttered to herself, “Coupons, coupons, coupons-” but she stopped abruptly at a certain ad.

“Apen.”

“What.”

“Look at this.” Berlyne grabbed Apen’s arm, and jabbed her finger at a brightly colored poster.  THE LIBRARY OF GALLITAN AND CRAFTY CHRIS’ CRAVATS PRESENT: The Third Annual Gallitan Gingerbread House Contest!

December 24, 12:30 PM at the St Claire Orphanage on Green Street

PRIZES FOR 1st, 2nd AND 3rd  PLACE!!

Do you like to bake and create? Well, then, this is the contest for you and a friend! Make your own gingerbread, cook up a great architectural masterpiece, and feel the sweet thrill of victory, all in teams of two!

Bring your own supplies.

No explosives, please.

“Apen, we need to do this! I’m good at making things, and you know about architecture. Please, Apen! We can split the prize.” Apen rubbed his temples.

“Okay.”

“PLEAAA- oh, you agreed. Great!” Berlyne grinned, and pumped her arm. “We’re gonna win, boy!” Just then, the clock tower bonged. She jumped.

“It’s noon. Only half an hour! And we need to bring our own gingerbread supplies!” she wailed. Berlyne checked her shopping list. “Ehhhhhhhh… we can go without mulled cider and green bean casserole this year.” She put a handful of coins into Apen’s hand. “You get the decorations and I’ll get the raw ingredients. Get sprinkles, sugar confetti, whatever you can find. We are GOING to win this competition.” She stuck out her hand, and Apen shook it. They ran off in separate directions, both with their competitive spirit blazing.

“Welcome to the Third Annual Gallitan Gingerbread House Contest!” a young blonde woman said joyfully. “My name is Idony St Claire and I will be one of your judges for this contest! These men are Marcus Lanum, head librarian at the Library of Gallitan, and Christoff Chrisjigetstefioa, owner of Crafty Chris’ Cravats and sponsor of this event. Let’s give them a hand!”

The two men standing next to her bowed, one slim and mustachioed and the other rotund and wearing a overly fluffy object around his neck, which Apen recognized as a cravat. The woman continued speaking. “You will make gingerbread from the ingredients that you brought, and construct a house, a school, a church, whatever you wish. There are three rules: no use of inedible substances, no cheating, and no explosives whatsoever, edible or inedible.” To the right of Apen and Berlyne, a pair of contestants sighed, and chucked an oddly shaped package out of the window. Berlyne and Apen met eyes, and Berlyne raised an eyebrow.

The man with the mustache began speaking. “There are six teams, and three ovens. You will share. Teams One and Two” he gestured to Apen and Berlyne and another group “will take this oven,  Three and Four will use this one, and Five and Six this one. There are mixing bowls and stirring and measuring implements before you, for use in mixing the…” he searched for a word. “Raw gingerbread. Use the decorations that you brought to make your construction a masterpiece. You will have until the clock strikes two. I will be judging appearance, Miss St Claire will be judging taste, and Mr Chrisjigetstefioa will be judging completeness. Good luck. Begin.” Berlyne and Apen met eyes, and she nodded matter-of-factly.

“Okay, I’m in charge.”

Apen snorted indignantly. “Why are you in charge?”

“Because I know the most about baking, boy.”

“Fine, then I’m in charge of the construction because I know the most about buildings and architecture.”

“Fine. Just start mixing the wet ingredients, Apen.”

“Fine with me, Berlyne.” Apen began to mix the molasses, eggs, and butter while Berlyne measured out the various spices. The dough was made quickly, and Berlyne rolled it out. She turned to Apen and clapped her hands once.

“Alright, Mr Architect, how do you want this house to look?” Apen smirked.

“I have a few ideas.”

BRIIIINNNNNGGGG! The oven sounded. Berlyne grabbed an oven mitt and pulled the shaped blocks of gingerbread out of the oven.

“Here you go. They need to cool a bit, but start thinking about putting them together.”

Apen nodded. “Alright. You know how this should look, so you can help me put it together. Here’s the east cupola,” he gestured to a few pieces “and here are the west gables.” He explained what every piece was, and how they would fit together. “The pieces may have expanded a tiny bit, but the amount of expansion is equal and it shouldn’t cause a problem. Once we fit it together, the icing is our biggest priority. We’re going to need-” Apen closed his eyes in thought. “Red, white, and black. Can you start work on that while it cools?”

Berlyne nodded.

“Splendid. This will be perfect.”

“Berlyne, will you hold these walls while I put on the gables and cupola?”

“On it.”

“Hey Apen?”

“Yes?”

“Grab the bowl of black frosting, will ya?”

“Here.”

“Thanks.”

“My pleasure.”

“NONONONO.” Berlyne squealed. Apen lunged forward and grabbed the top cupola from toppling.

“Oh gosh, thanks, Apen!”

“Do you think we need more paste?”

“Definitely.”

“I’ll make some.”

“Thank you.”

DING DONG DING DOOOOONG. DONG DING DONG DING. BONG. BONGGGG.

“Hands off, contestants!” Berlyne stopped smoothing the frosting, and let the spoon fall to the table. She looked at Apen, and their eyes met. She stifled a giggle.

“What?”

“You have frosting in your hair.”

“It’s not like you don’t.”

They laughed together.

“Bring your buildings to the judges table.” Apen tensed.

“Berlyne, how will we… it’s too big to carry.”

“Take that end of the table, boy. CAREFULLY.” They carefully carried the table to the judges. The first house, a small yet pretty cottage, was tasted and gazed at.

The female judge called, “Team Two?” As soon as they saw it, the other judges gasped.

“Holy bleeding cowboys.” The mustache man said. “The cupolas…”

“What is it, Marcus?” the woman whispered.

“A-a scale replica of the Capitol Building in Greenway. It’s… perfect. 10 out of 10.”

“May I taste? Show me where.” the woman asked. Berlyne guided her hand to a corner on the roof. The woman gently broke off a bit, and put it delicately in her mouth.

“Oh my. Is that… vanilla icing on the gingerbread?” She smiled ecstatically. “Oh, and the gingerbread is exquisite. 10 out of 10. Well done. Please give me your gingerbread recipe!”

“Will do, ma'am!” Berlyne smiled and blushed. The round man inspected the model. “Wonderful. It is entirely complete, and almost completely smooth. 10 out of 10. Good job. Next?”

Apen and Berlyne smiled at each other as they walked back to their table.

“The judging is complete.”

Berlyne mouthed, “Cross your fingers.”

Apen crossed his fingers.

“In third place, Team One!” Apen exhaled.

“In second place, Team Five!” Berlyne inhaled.

“And in first place, the grand prize winner is…” Apen sent up a silent prayer. “Team Two!”

Berlyne jumped up and down, and the teammates high-fived.

“Come on up and receive your prizes!” Apen and Berlyne hurried up to the judges table. The rotund man handed them a small bag. “Congratulations, you have won 100 silver coins!” Berlyne blinked.

“Nice!” She took the bag from the man. “Thank you, sir!”

“You are very welcome, young lady! And remember to shop at Crafty Chris’ Cravats, for all your neckwear needs!”

mERRY CHRISTMAS, M’BUDDY M’PAL!

Ok, I just saw your drawing ask about The Silver Eye, and firstoff I wanted to say HOORAY, you’re reading it! Excuse excitement but where are you in it and who’s your favorite character so far?? :D

No, please, I get it. I always love hearing about my mutuals getting into the same fandoms as me!

Let's see.... when I left off, Noah threw limeade on the back of Marcus's head, had an actual conversation with his sister, and then we had a lovely traumatic flashback for him.

Also, Avidan threw Velvare in jail, and is teaming up with Melete. Which seems like something that's gonna blow up in their faces.

My favorite character is probably a tie between Noah and Berlyne. Although Idony is also up there. I'm just weirdly here for the snarky but secretly kinda nice characters, ya know? And Berlyne and Idony are just AWESOME.

What about you? Who are your favorite characters?

Thanks for the ask!

[accidental-spice]

1 (just for the response I’ll get) 37 ad 24 for the asky thing!!

#1: Selfie.

Okay, so!! You will now get a selfie of my art. (It's not a selfie if it's of your art, genius!) (Tell someone who cares, brain!!)

(If you can't tell, that's Berlyne dragging Enel by the leg.)

(Berlyne: "Hmmm, recycle, landfill, or compost....?")

#37: Favorite actor/actress.

Hmmm, good question. After about 30 seconds of deliberation, I'd have to say Florence Pugh. She was really good on the two things I saw her in. And the roles were really different, but she NAILED them both.

#24: Height.

Uhhhhhhh.... shorter than a refrigerator, but taller than a really small refrigerator.

So, like, 5'5" or something.

Thanks for the asks!

💖 + The Silver Eye?

Ok, this is hard. Honestly, all of them but Ethelinda. Top three tho, probably Ayran, cause I love the dude. Extravagent, extra, sass, capes, whet more fo you need? Berlyne, cause she's heckin' awesome, I love her outfits, personality, and all about her, and either Apen or Marcus for Reasons. Apen, he’s a sweet cinnamon roll boi, and Marcus needs more love. But I love them all in their own way.

[accidental-spice]

Do you ever platonically ship a duo SO HARD that you casually refer to them as brother and sister in your head, and then it takes, like. 30 seconds to realize that they're not TECHNICALLY related?

[accidental-spice]

25, 40, 59 from the list of asks!

#25: Role model.

Oooooh, that's a good one! But hard. I guess I aspire to be like a lot of different fictional characters, and it really depends on what I'm currently obsessed in.

At the moment? Berlyne Alverado from The Silver Eye, Philip from The Chosen, and Firmus Piett, as @musewrangler writes him (I you love platonic relationships, try their Star Wars fan fiction, it is SO GOOD).

Piett's just a wonderful leader, and a good man. Berlyne has a level of confidence, and not caring about what others think that I wish I had, and Philip's faith is ASTOUNDING.

#40: Favorite memory.

Every year, around Christmas time, my family piles into the car, and we drive around, looking at other people's Christmas decorations. We always end up at one of those houses where their lights flash in time to music. It's one of our favorite traditions!

#59: Why I joined Tumblr.

Quite a few reasons, actually. I wanted to meet more people who liked the same things I did, I'd seen screenshots on Pinterest and it looked hilarious, and I wanted to share my art!

Thanks for the ask!!

[silverpaintedstars]

For the character ask thing: Berlyne Alverado?

Oh YES

First impression: I was like, epic frizzy GIRL? Love

Impression now: epic frizzy girl SHIP with telescope boy

Favorite moment: how can I choose? The whole boat fight with Axe Man, but she was pretty epic in Chapter 20.

Idea for a story: oooh. Probably something Aperlyney. Like, idk, the whole Novacrew going out and being chaotic lol. (My autocorrect said chairs and I shouldn’t be laughing)

Unpopular opinion: I don’t quite hAve one?

Favorite relationship: APEN SHAPHARD

Favorite headcanon: Dr Pepper connoisseur

[effiethebookworm]

For the Six Fanarts— Berlyne Alverado, Avidan Leto, Biana Vacker, Emaré Rossi and Han Solo :) good luck!

I will do Avidan, Biana, and Han. Thanks!
