Navarog/Gavin fanart is done! I like how it turned out :3

[magicae-est-realis]

Very quick sketches of some Fablehaven and Dragonwatch dragons... Raxtus turned out the best by far.

Have Raxtus, baby Raxtus, Raxtus egg, Navarog, Camarat, Jibarro, Nafia, Celebrant, Baby Chalize, Chalize and Siletta with a way too pale outline.

watching my friends read fablehaven for the first time and listening to them talk about how cool gavin is (i am unable to interfere it’s a canon event)

[thinklikeseth]

So like,,, is Navarog/Gavin young for a dragon? Is that why his avatar is a teen? Or like does it have something to do with him being a demon or when he became one or something

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

me after being eaten by gavarog :(

So the other day, it hit me like a bolt of lightning that I have this silly little fhdw blog. Naturally, I opened up the old computer and went on down to tumblr.com, searched up the main fablehaven tag for the first time in five months to see what I could see. And what do i see? You're all obsessed with polls. The Gavarog stans have slunk back into the shadows. You've all been hard at work in the lore mines unearthing more Dragonwatch plot holes. A plethora of new fanart awaits to blurse my eyes. Tanugatoa Dufu is our sexyman????????

Why Tanu though? Y'all really saw him in a lineup including mustached violin-playing Indiana Jones? And a nefariously pretty Demon Dragon?? Emo Sadboy Horse of Darkness with eyeliner sharp enough to kill??? Warren Freaking Burgess™???? The oh so babygirl Cottagecore Prince?????? And y'all really said. "After some consideration, we'll take unethical chemistry guy from Idaho as our lawfully wedded sexyman."

fablehaven sexy man march madness bracket

Now let me explain…

1. This was made before the first poll closed and I am sticking to it even if it is now incorrect.

2. I will put a ✅ or an ❌ if the prediction was correct or incorrect.

Ahem…

First Round

Ronodin must win. The Sphinx is no sexy man. I think this one is self-explanatory. ✅

Come on, guys. Dale? Dale versus my first literary crush and absolute charmer Warren? Warren is everything a sexy man can be. Charming, handsome, funny, a little fruity at times—ideal man. Ideal Tumblr man ✅

Again, easy one. Navarog is such a strong contender. He is young, he is twink. He is again someone my young self would have absolutely blasted across all of your feeds if I had tumblr. Celebrant is great—but not great enough. ✅

Okay, I saw the results for this. I am disappointed, Fablehaven fandom. Hugo over Raxtus? Imagine a fairy boy raxtus anime drawing. That has such tumblr potential. Hugo—big dirt baby. Adorable dirt baby. But not a sexy man. ❌

Now, Bracken and Garreth is tough. Because logically I do know that Bracken is the number one love interest. However, I feel, in my heart, that if Fablehaven was much bigger and had a screen presence maybe, Garreth would be the best friend everyone would want to see Kendra with. Sure, does he have any personality in canon? No. And that is absolutely perfect for Tumblr sexy man. He can be anything you want. He is baby girl and sexy man all at once. Now, as we head into the runoff for this one, I am counting on you all. (this one was a tie) (Also, I have written literally the only two works on ao3 that have Garreth in them so I do in fact feel a personal stake in this) (please)

Patton and Tanu. Tanu is amazing, but Patton, again, guys, let’s think back to your first read as maybe a young one. Maybe it was just me, but Patton was literally dream guy in big, cursive letters. He may have lost the sexy man competition, but he has a place in my heart. ❌

Errol and Mr. Lich is interesitng because they’re both dependent on very little canon screen time. I would even say that Errol probably has more. But I am thinking of a Fablehaven show, and I am thinking of the edits of Mr. Lich standing silently beside the Sphinx and edits that like zoom in on the brief touches between the two. Anyway ✅

For Newel and Doren, I honestly have no feelings. In my head, the only difference is that Newel got rabies in the second or third book (third. I think. GOTSP) and Doren didn’t. I think Doren is more baby girl and Newel is more “oh god, what is that?” Either way, it’s a coin toss for me. I guess it just depends if people were into Newel in rabid mode. ✅

Now it’s harder to go past the first round, seeing as some of my predictions were already wrong. However, I will give my case for what I think are the strongest contenders.

In order of weakest to strongest:

As aforementioned, Patton is dreamboat, at least in my memory. Let’s forget all the thinking I did after i first read it about the coercion in him and Lena’s relationship and instead focus on how I felt before I examined the book at all. And how I felt was enamored! Super cool guy, but I think what is holding him back is his age. And that we see him super old. Kind of kills the attraction.

Next, Warren. Warren is literally sexy man. He is the sexy man before Navarog shows up. Because let’s be real, when I first read that Kendra had that little crush on him, I wasn’t thinking “oh my god, he’s your cousin!” That wasn’t even crossing my mind. I was thinking, me too girl!

Now, we have Navarog. Gavarog. My sweet baby boy Gavin. Gavin is a stuttering love interest that turns out to be a demon dragon. He is literally gorgeous lovers to enemies, and if Fablehaven had any screen presence—the absolute amount of edits you would see of him would be insane. As he would deserve.

Finally, what is there to say about Ronodin? He checks every mark and I will be so incredibly surprised if we does not come out on top. He inserts sexual tension into literally any scene he’s in (no I have not read the fifth book, no I have not read that proposal scene) and he is such sexy man. So many Fablehaven characters are closer to baby girl, male wife, girl boss, but Ronodin? He is ultimate Fablehaven Sexyman

Share your thoughts! And thank you to @carolinelikesdinner for organizing @fablehaven-sexyman. Absolute delight in my spring break!

Also it was insane seeing just how close literally all the polls were. The division!

Seth, explaining the Five Nights at Freddy’s lore to Gavin: And so in 1973 these inventer guys, William Afton and his friend Henry Emily started up this restaurant called "Fredbears Family Diner".

Navarog, considering whether or not to risk killing Seth early:

This was an awesome commission to work on! So much detail.

In order from right to left it’s, Celebrant, Ronodin, and Gavin.

The background has their creature forms.

Gavarog finding Kendra in Sidestep Cleft—

Kendra: How did you find me?

Gavarog: Oh, it was easy. I just listened for the sound of complete and utter betrayal and followed that

[mercutiotakethewheel]

ok so realistically i know theres important character reasons Kendra (and Seth and Warren by extension) never suspect Gavarog. It’s the old society trick to set up threats as team bonding exercises, etc, etc. plus this is a new and unfamiliar world thats rapidly overtaking her real world and replacing all her existing relationships, and right now Gavarog’s like the only member of her magical-worl peer group, so she doesnt want him to be a traitor, just like she didnt want Vanessa, her only female mentor to be a traitor, etc , etc.

but also i wholeheartedly 100% believe that every time Gavin did some truly bizarre, weird ass shit Kendra was just like. damnnnn…. average home school kid behavior.
