Was busy for Thanksgiving and then ended up getting sick 😮‍💨 still sort of sick but I finally got energy enough to draw and wanted to introduce the Guildmasters! Still need to work on Luxray a little, give her an accessory, but I think I'm mostly happy with Lucario. Hoping to add the rest of the guild members later, might do some doodles in between, we'll see.

It's almost strange seeing Fai use his magic after all this time, and I can’t even enjoy it knowing what it cost

But oh how the spell he casts here also looks like an eye as it takes them into Evil Wolverine’s Evil Branding Department HQ

Like they're all being carried by the exact piece of Syaoran that he left behind (Fai's Eye) for them to use

Ohoho

Ok despite everything I do like Evil Wolverine looking completely different to normal. Evil Wolverine bleeding? Evil Wolverine almost looking scared as they show up?

WONDERFUL. Lovely sight. 10/10, only improved by Kurogane and Lava Lamp leaping into the air to attack him instantly.

Stories that Midnight Burger could absolutely cross over with, and how that would go:

Dead Boy Detectives: Either Midnight Burger's been bouncing back and forth between various places in the DBD/Sandman universe and the agency is charged with investigating it, or they just randomly appear to help them with a case that they're stuck on. Ava wants to know literally everything about how ghosts work, Leif makes the mistake of introducing Charles to all of his insane alien gadgets, Niko befriends all of the wolves in the deep freeze, Crystal gets advice from Caspar about becoming a better person, and Effie and Zebulon take one look at Edwin and decide that they have to give him some advice and kind words.

The Magnus Archives: Midnight Burger appears right outside the Institute---during which season? Who knows! All that matters is that they're there, and they are very eager to help these depressed academics navigate the horrors. Gloria takes advantage of Jon's Eye powers to ask him about all the great unsolved mysteries of the world, Caspar goes to sit in the deep freeze the second he learns about The Lonely, and Melanie and Ava immediately bond over some very heavy drinks. If Sasha's here, she and Gloria become fast friends, and literally nobody knows what to make of Effie and Zebulon. Tim and Leif unsurprisingly get along pretty quick.

Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey: Midnight Burger appears inside The Wurst, and pretty much everyone goes "yep, this might as well happen." Leif is very eager to meet every single one of the corrupt organizations out there, and he and Skip are almost immediately fighting for custody over Gunnie. Sundry Sydney and Gloria become BFFs on sight, and Margaret spends the entire time subtly flirting with Ava. Also, Effie and Zebulon are a hit with Gnosis.

Leverage: Midnight Burger pops in and winds up accidentally interfering with a job, and they've gotta scramble to help out the Leverage crew before it completely falls apart. Hardison---and Breanna, if we're going by the Redemption crew---geek the fuck out over all of Leif's weird shit, Parker and Ava quickly realize that they match each other's freak, and Eliot and Leif end up trading weird stories while Caspar slams his head on one of the tables in the background. Gloria uses her "I started a revolution" skills to the extreme.

Hatchetfield: Midnight Burger shows up, fixes the timeline, and leaves. The Lords in Black are befuddled and incredibly pissed. Also, Miss Holloway and Duke wind up sticking around.

Im being so entirely deadset serious when I say this: do yall really think monoshipping is the Only Way? Have you not experienced the sheer joy of taking your blorbo and putting them with literally anyone, like a kid mashing their barbie dolls together? Hello? I'm calling into the void here can anyone hear me?

Finalized the design for Riolu, and while working on this I got a fun idea I want to sketch that will have to wait until tomorrow. But after that I'll work on more of the characters, once I decide on who next :3

Riolu apprentices at the guild, training to one day take over as guildmaster. He was abandoned as an egg and raised by Lucario and Luxray, the current guildmasters. He constantly wants to prove himself to Lucario and seeks her approval. Normally quiet and stoic, he's put up a wall to avoid getting close to most Pokemon, as a lot of them are prejudiced against cross breeds like himself. However a certain odd-colored Vulpix has managed to easily slip past this wall, and he is quickly smitten with her

Writing Tip:

Give your characters a natal chart. Western astrology is used to "give insights into your personality and possibilities for achievement (or trouble). . . help with timing events, exploring comparability. . . and making conscious choices." (Astrology for Real Life, T. Reed, pg 6). The signs are archetypes, the planets are what those archetypes apply to (the planets rule over different things), and the houses are facets of life. There's a lot more that goes into natal charts, like chart patterns and aspects; but, planets, signs, and houses do most of the character building leg work.

I've been building a natal chart for Feyre based on what I remember from the books and my interpretation of her character, so I'll use that as an example.

Canonically, she was born on December 21st, which means that the Sun was in Sagittarius at the time of her birth (I, personally, would have made her a Libra Sun, but SJM wanted the whole "she was born on the longest night of the year" thing for the mating bond). In the book "Astrology for Real Life" by Theresa Reed, each sign is ascribed High and Low traits.

Sagittarius:

High: truthful, candid, optimistic, lucky, enthusiastic, has wanderlust, likes to roam, philosophical, jovial, open-hearted, seeks freedom, humorous Low: tactless, flighty, commitment-phobic, reckless, irresponsible, fickle, shallow, rebellious

The Sun is a personal planet that rules over ego, will, and the core of who you are. In this case, Feyre is someone who seeks freedom, likes to roam, and is enthusiastic, humorous, truthful and candid; but, also, she is someone who is flighty, tactless, fickle, reckless, and afraid of commitment.

Because we are not given a time, place, or year for Feyre's birth, the rest of the planets, signs, and houses are up to choice.

------

The Moon rules emotions, intuition, how you express your feelings and your relationship with your mother. I chose Leo for that sign (High: dramatic, bold, glam, loves ruling, exuberant, exciting, regal, generous, big heart, affectionate, loyal; Low: over dramatic, self centered, egotistical, susceptible to flattery, bossy, vain, demanding, unreasonable, overbearing)

The ascendant isn't a planet, it's the sign that was rising at the time of your birth. This rules your public image. For Feyre, I went with Libra (High: charming, seeks balance, seeks harmony, fair, elegant, stylish, loves beauty, cooperative, relationship-oriented, team-oriented, intelligent, diplomatic, even-tempered, idealistic; Low: superficial, indecisive, passive-aggressive, prioritizes relationships over self, dependant, frivolous, approval seeking, vain, conflict avoidant).

Mercury rules communication, intellectual reasoning, and how one learns. I put her Mercury in retrograde, which means that the energy is inwardly focused. Mercury in retrograde typically results in someone who has communication issues and struggles to express themselves, it also means that one may have a better time learning through absorption and experience. Aside from that, I put her Mercury in Aquarius (High: intellectual, eccentric, futuristic, logical, friendly, unorthodox, truthful, rational, objective, curious, idealistic, inventive; Low: low empathy, stubborn, distant, detached, rebellious, argumentative)

Venus rules love, friendship, beauty, leisure, and spending habits. I put that in Sagittarius (High: truthful, candid, optimistic, lucky, enthusiastic, has wanderlust, likes to roam, philosophical, jovial, open-hearted, seeks freedom, humorous; Low: tactless, flighty, commitment-phobic, reckless, irresponsible, fickle, shallow, rebellious)

Mars rules drive, lust, aggression, energy, ambition, and war. I chose Aries (High: fiery, intense, passionate, sexy, leader, bold, courageous, original, audacious; Low: selfish, impulsive, impatient, temperamental, hot-headed, bossy, reckless) for that side of Feyre.

Jupiter and Saturn are both social planets, so their impact is less about the character, and more about how they operate in and view the world.

Jupiter rules potential, talent, good luck, expansion, gambling, risks, philosophy, publishing, and travel. I was kind-of having trouble with these signs, so I went to Astrology.com for help. The site has some pretty good descriptions of how the signs and planets interact. Anyways, I ended up going with Leo (High: dramatic, bold, glam, loves ruling, exuberant, exciting, regal, generous, big heart, affectionate, loyal; Low: over dramatic, self centered, egotistical, susceptible to flattery, bossy, vain, demanding, unreasonable, overbearing) for this one.

Saturn rules hurdles, limitations, karma, lessons, and discipline. I chose Aquarius (High: intellectual, eccentric, futuristic, logical, friendly, unorthodox, truthful, rational, objective, curious, idealistic, inventive; Low: low empathy, stubborn, distant, detached, rebellious, argumentative).

--

Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are outer planets. They move slowly throughout the zodiac, so they change with generations, not individuals. I haven't picked out any signs for these planets, because they'll have to fit with Nesta and Elain's signs as well.

Uranus rules technology, modern life, drastic changes, eccentricity, and freedom. Neptune rules illusions, imagination, spirituality, beliefs, creative force, and addictions. Pluto rules transformation, rebirth, and power.

There are more things that go into a natal chart, like asteroids, but I'm going to close this post off with the nodes.

The north node, also referred to as "the Dragon's Head" shows where one need to develop. The south node -- "the Dragon's Tail" -- shows where one is comfortable.
