I don't know about their talking voices or the other main six but I feel like Julian and Lucio's singing voices would sound like Tobias Forge (Lucio) from Ghost and Billy Idol, specifically the song Dancing With Myself (Julian)

Dandelion giving himself these fuckass crazy stats in his TTRPG book compared to his original character sheet in the core rulebook is the best summary one could ever get of his character

how about that uhhhhh Fantasy Julie. she gets her sword <3 no one can take it from her <3

rambles:

SIKE you get an extra, lower quality doodle

SIKE AGAIN here's the rambles

yeah... i caved and gave her a tail... I'm Not Sorry! it's cute! i wanted to stick with her sorta flower motif - it's stronger in her princess look, since I imagine that when she was part of the royals she was very blatantly flower power based. it was her Thing!

but a Julie free of her noble shackles... she deserves her big sword. like yeah, she has flower magic, but who needs it when she has a Giant Blade??? on the royalty vein, and if we're classifying "rainbow monster" as a species, i feel like horn size/curve would be a status symbol of some kind. maybe Julie would have kept her horns filed short. but if she ran away from that life... longer horns! i like to imagine that they'll keep growing until she has a pair of Extra Weapons attached to her head! curved forward like mammoth tusks maybe!

i imagine that like Frank, she goes with minimal armor - range of movement over protection, yk? some scale mail over her front, a thick leather flower over her chest w/ scalloped leather pauldrons, wrist armor and metal knuckles! i'd think that the faux-suspenders include a back sheath for her sword... i wish i'd thought of that Before i finished the little ref! i don't feel like going back and editing!

i imagine that she was forced to cut her hair when it got caught in something (a gelatinous cube, mayhaps). it didn't look good! don't let anime and Mulan fool you! cutting your own hair with a blade will not look nice! but someone - Eddie, probably, he's good with scissors i'd assume - cleaned it up for her. and hey, it didn't look bad! plus, Julie probably liked being able to just tuck up her long strands into her hat when she's feeling a bit more like a Julius than a Julie!

it's been a fun challenge transforming their canon outfits into a similar variation with fantasy flavoring and twists! i want them to suit the setting but still maintain Themselves! Julie's was tough i gotta admit. i was messing around with the princess look and the fighter look side-by-side. it worked better when i sat back and thought "fighter Julie is Julie unrestrained. that version would be more aligned with her canon look"

i wanted her princess form to look Restrained! she has to be a ~delicate flower~, a noble woman, pristine and poised and very much a princess. soft colors, poofy clothing, bright white gloves that are not to be sullied. carefully bundled up hair! jewelry! that dress must be Heavy and hard to move in! her tail must be so cramped under there!

but Julie Unleashed? violent pinks! rose gold accents! short skirt so that she can sprint and Kick! fun boots that she can be active in and delight in watching them get dirty! her hair is free to whip in the wind and get caught in things! fun straps and Deadly Accessories! a sword that she stole from the royal armory on her way out the window! she has forearm wraps both to match Frank and to support her wrists!

The secret history subtly deals with the theme of education and the different ways one could learn and could teach things. The motto of Hampden is "learning by doing" which is itself a teaching methodology theorized by John Dewey (it is still seen as a valid method, especially in stem contexts).

Julian is like a Greek rhetorician. He is able to persuade his six students merely by discussing philosophy and other things they like so much. He is a master of the word, which is at the same time clear to the group but also, it isn't. He conditioned the group's actions and lead them to do what they did. Julian already chose Henry as his successor, in a way. He knows that Henry also has an "aura", an empathetic strength which makes him both alluring and scary at the same time.

Dr. Roland is a psychology professor. Psychology is the science of the inside, and is so akin to philosophy because psychology tried to give answers to the matters of the mind and the emotions and the human being that philosophy used to ponder about. It is stated several times that Dr. Roland is a behaviorist, and they believed that learning could be achieved through conditioning. He talks a lot, but in the end, we see that what he says never influences Richard that much. Richard only sees Roland as his way to earn money while in a shitty town, but we see that he is just a random professor who leads a very ordinary life in comparison to Julian's life.

Richard uses Dr. Roland to get an income to sustain himself, while he attends Julian's classes. After Bunny's funeral, the group slowly falls apart and Richard finds solace in solitude in Dr. Roland's office rather than in Julian's classes with the members of his clique. This is a consequence of learning by doing, where the learning is questionable and brings about traumatic consequences for Richard and the others. He has to live with the consequences of their actions and he isn't okay with that, but he has to bear that cross since he feels a sort of sick loyalty to the others even though they never completely welcomed him in their group. He also knows that perhaps, if he isn't careful, he might be the next Bunny because he now knows too much
