Two more Howl's Moving Castle of Five Leaves drawings! I'm working on another one and was planning on collecting these drawings until I could post them all together, but the feathers are a bit of a struggle and I got impatient haha.

I gotta say one of my favourite things is that Sophie is as small as Masa is large, and Yaichi is so tiny compared to Howl.

What’s your favourite book/ book series?

Oh!

No idea.

See, ADD makes object permanence… difficult. Not in the sense of “if I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist”, but like… when I’m not actively enjoying my favorite thing, I don’t remember that it’s my favorite.

That being said, while I can’t say my favorite book (because I don’t know it), I can tell you some books / book series I’ve read and liked.

The Giver series was pretty good. I’m in the midst of the Wheel of Time audiobooks, and I really like those. I listen to them with my dad, so that kinda makes me biased.

But for one-off books, there’s a couple random ones I read once that I really liked. One is Plum Bun, which is about a colored person passing as white in some earlier decade (I don’t remember which exactly, but racism was still a thing; I think it was some time in the 1900s). In the US. I should probably clarify that. The other was I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, which is a semi-autobiographical novel about this girl with schizophrenia. I chose them for those “pick your own book” assignments in high school, and frankly, I’m glad I read them.

Had a dream I went to a one direction concert and met you there? It was kind of crazy because I was more excited to meet you than to see one direction, even though I've been obsessed with them since middle school 😅

i tend to insight that boyband hysteria in others

you CAN have the hardest time reading and still enjoy it. sometimes you just gotta scratch the itch of holding a book and flipping through pages and (slowly) learning cool things

all of us villains doodles ! i think the kids are. not alright

[ID: a set of headshot references for the 4 main characters of all of us villains drawn in pencil. there are small illegible design notes written around them. brionys say “toxic prep girl”, isobels say “poser goth girl” and “black undereye makeup”, gavins say “perpetual squint” “lots of scars” and “needs haircut” and alistairs say “thin pupils” “creepy ass smile” and “black lipstick”. they are all drawn reflecting these traits but are otherwise similar to canon. the next image shows the lowe brothers, both of whom have moles. the last image is an inked doodle of the lowe brothers smiling next to each other.]

I am listening to the cutest LitRPG around:

Very sweet and wholesome, a nice introduction to those who are curious about the Literature RPG subgenre of Progression Fantasy.

The MC, Broccoli Bunch, gets isekai’d into another world where she’s given the class “Cinnamon Bun” which is most assuredly NOT a fighting class. But that suits her just fine as she’d rather make friends with everyone she meets, including the reanimated skeleton downstairs.

While there are Video Game like aspects to it that you might come to expect out of the LitRPG genre, it’s not too overbearing with stats and the like. The skills Broccoli gains during her adventures are put to use in interesting ways that keeps the story light and fun.

Definitely more of a Slice of Life/Adventure versus Action Adventure.

Be warned: MC can be a bit sugary sweet so watch out for cavities while reading!

All in all a great introduction to the genre and is kid friendly too :)

Alright Bun— bonus ask before I go to sleep because I think I’m getting Whispering Willow brainrot lol (on top of utdr and fnaf rot ough—) Because tbh I sincerely think it’s really well thought out, with the little tidbits I’ve read about. The first chapter of it was cool Yk? I’m gonna guess that you’re new to ao3 writing? :3c am I right?

But, skipping the rambles, Lemme get to what I wanted to say:

Can you pretty please feed give us me Kat lore? Like I love ghosties and everything, especially ones that hang around. Like how does she hang around? We know she got buried alive (must’ve been terrifying seriously my bros buried me in sand once but not my face…) but how does her spirit hang about?

Also, why’d her adventure friends bury her? Was it for a reason or just them being like plain old toxic? I don’t think they’d have to like, bury her tho if it’s the second option… :( maybe it was a sacrifice??

(Thanks for storytelling tho Bun! I’m totally locked in! It’s very interesting so far! <3333)

UWAAAA THAT IS SUCH A HUGE COMPLIMENT THANK YOU!!! Literally I have no idea what’s more flattering than having someone brainrot over something you made!!! I’m so SO glad you like it so far!!!

I AM new to writing on ao3!!! You are correct!!! I actually just made my account about a month or two ago! I actually attempted to post this on a website I made in the past, but 1: it didn’t get any traction and 2: I didn’t like my writing, this is actually the third iteration of this story! I am much more comfortable with my writing now than back then :3

Anywho, on to Kat ;3

Here’s the ref I made for her for visualization’s sake! :D

You may recall on the post where I gave a brief rundown on each of my ocs that Kat was framed for a crime she didn’t commit. Kat was originally a Part of an adventuring group called The Rogues of Justice, though since her death she can’t remember the name of her group or the people involved, or even their faces. The Rogues of Justice were a chaotic good group of jokesters. They were known for helping wherever they could and for their wacky and often nutty solutions that didn’t seem like they would work, but always worked out in the end. They were very close.

On Kat’s final mission, she was framed for a crime that severely broke her team’s moral code. She was made to look like she’d ransacked and destroyed a nearby town. Entire livelihoods and homes were destroyed and burnt. People were severely injured. She was found with valuables from the people of that town hidden on her being, and thus was the one to blame.

Of course, she didn’t actually do this. She would never. She was most likely the one who believed in the moral code the most.

She was set up and doomed to be buried alive by a member of her team. Someone who, once upon a time, she loved dearly. When things didn’t work out between them, in a fit of rage, her ex was the one to have sealed her fate.

He didn’t exactly expect for it to go this far, but he didn’t dare speak up, even as the dirt was being shoveled onto Kat’s face. He stood on the sidelines, watching her last moments.

She woke up days later, memories missing, with only the feeling of once being part of something, a burning feeling of injustice and betrayal, a fuzzy memory of a single face she couldn’t recognize, and a crippling fear of tight spaces that gives her a horrid sense of deja vu. She had no idea where she was or how to leave, stuck in the middle of nowhere with nobody nearby. She had been stuck in those woods, going in circles, unable to escape, losing track of time until the day she would find a way to leave.

So basically what’s keeping her here is unfinished business that she forgot ;)

It’s honestly really really sad, but she copes with humor and distractions most of the time so she doesn’t have to think about her memory gaps and the extreme distaste for that one person she can’t quite remember.

There are quite a few dark themes hidden in the story beyond the found family and fun fantasy settings, sorry haha!

I should also mention that the main reason she sticks around with Brook and the gang is cuz she’s BORED. Like she has been stuck in the woods and these are the first people she’s seen in GOD knows how long and they’re on a quest??? That’s some high quality entertainment there!!! She also gets pretty attached pretty quickly because again: human interaction!!!! And they helped her get out!!!! It’s honestly the least she can do while having hundreds of thousands of years ahead of her of existing.

Fun fact!!! Ghosts are basically the magic sparks of people who refuse to return back to the cycle just yet for whatever reason. They can last a REALLY long time but eventually they will get re-absorbed back into the cycle as everything continues on. :)
