#idk if they showed the Collins with 10

[lesbianzutara]

one of my favorite things about the hunger games and rereading them is that suzanne collins did an extremely good job of making katniss a teenager. like katniss’s emotions really show her age in a way that’s so important.

Like these are less than 10 pages apart. she’s confused, her emotions are all over the place and she doesn’t understand anything she’s feeling. idk if this makes sense but rereading it really makes me understand how young she is.

FEMALE MOVIE/TV RECS (PART 3 / SCI-FI)

got inspired from a recommendation post so decided to make a list of movies and shows with female-centric stories/female protagonists. since i can't post all of the genres in one post, i'll split it into multiple posts and y'all can save or add to the list as you wish. (disclaimer: i have watched most of these, but i only know about the existence of others. not every movie/show on these lists will be my recommendation. my recommendations will be beneath the list with reasons. also some of these are way better than others in terms of storytelling/performance--which is why i'll list my faves separately):

Common Themes in the Media Listed:

-Women and girls fighting against oppressive regimes

-Unholy discoveries about the secrets of the universe

-Protagonists fighting an enemy they don't understand

-Dystopias, sickness and disaster literally everywhere

-Survivalism, action and (occasionally) comedy

-Father/daughter and older daughter/younger kid protective relationships

-How does humanity die--aliens, robots, zombies or hubris?

WHAT I HAVEN'T WATCHED:

Silo (although my sister highly recommends it)

Vesper

Invasion

Fallout

Arrival

Prometheus

Aliens

Alita: Battle Angel

The Girl With All the Gifts

The Last of Us

I Am Mother

Colossal

Rebel Moon

What Happened to Monday

Ashoka

Prey

Moonhaven

Bumblebee

The 100

Ghost in the Shell

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:

Foundation (10/10) (I cannot sing its praises enough)

Annihilation (8.5/10)

The Hunger Games (10/10)

Rogue One (7/10)

PERSONAL NOTES

Colossal is actually a sci-fi comedy, but ultimately a comedy first. So it's tonally different from most of these.

While I found Mortal Engines and The 5th Wave entertaining, I can also say that they are objectively not that good. You can only enjoy Mortal Engines if you enjoy spectacle, don't mind cliches, and don't know anything about physics (or care).

I don't remember much of The Rise of Skywalker because by the time I was watching it, I had only watched Star Wars 3 out of the whole series so I was pretty lost. But I remember enjoying the fight scenes.

Please watch Foundation! Like, if you claim to love sci-fi you have to do it. Two of the three main characters are women, Gaal Dornick and Salvor Hardin. Gaal is a mathematical genius and Salvor is just . . . chef's KISS! Also, both are women of color! Like! If you wish there was some kind of grand-scale sci-fi like Dune with a female lead, Foundation is it! It's based on the books by Isaac Asimov (who was a rancid misogynist), and it is unfaithful to his work in the best ways! (Gaal and Salvor were not women in the books.) The only "issue" is it focuses more on American type-heroism rather than the sociological focus of the book (the point of the books was literally about how individualism does about fuckall in determining the future and it's easier to predict human behaviour on a large scale but much harder the smaller your data size). But it still makes for fantastic storytelling.

Alita: Battle Angel may be said to have the born-sexy-yesterday trope, but I'm not sure she's overtly sexualized in the movie. I looked at her designs and they look tasteful. Might be some stories issues.

If you haven't watched The Hunger Games, idk what to tell you except you should be doing that right now. If you claim to like movies in general. It's so good, I cannot begin to break down precisely why it's so good. Suzanne Collins is a genius!

[cool-person-yey]

Auntie Pikachu's Thoughts~~~ on Ep03 of Only Friends

boston ate nick's ass in the shower so everyone can stop calling him a selfish lover now (and gave top a blowjob! that boy was in a manipulative but giving mood today lmao)

I find the hostel storyline completely out of my depth I'ma assume this is just something about Thai culture I don't know about b/c uni students in my era never renovated and opened a whole ass business like they were on HGTV

I find the Ray/Sand storyline the least interesting and most predictable of the bunch I said what I said!!!

The twist about Ray and Mew hooking up was great (no I don't think boston was lying about that) I can't wait to go deeper into that cause I wanna see more depth into Ray's feelings for Mew

Boston is the only bitch in the house who understands the assignment which is to be messy, and sexy he is the New York of the show, he is Tiffany Polland

I need them to stop dancing (badly) and singing (also badly) in this show please the cringe I can take chars making bad decisions but the bad dancing hurts my soul let me rest I beg

I'm holding to it that Boston genuinely does like Nick as a person but not as a boyfriend cause he's dickimiztied by Top (stand UP Boston) Boston's my favorite b/c he's neither "good" nor "bad" he does shitty things and then he has moments where he's genuinely nice to Nick

If I was 10 years younger I'd probably woobie-fy the fuck outta Boston b/c it's so easy and becoming easier each episode but woobies are boring and basic and I'm to Fandom Old for that shit

I wanna know why Sand hates Top so much GIMMIE THAT INFO it's delicious it's the most interesting storyline Sand's got right now *phil collins voice* I WANNA KNOW CAN YOU SHOW ME

Nick baby stand UP do not be the grape jolly rancher of the pack babygirl you can't fix fuckbois!!!

the car scene just showed how annoying car sex can be lmao still hot tho mess 4 mess right there

The latter half of the episode had editing and lighting issues idk what happened there

I noticed the costuming department is trying with these chars which as a costume ho I appreciate a lot

I preferred the use of social media this episode compared to the confessionals last episode but I would like some consistency regarding the device like are we gonna get a new~ thing every episode? Idk how I feel about that kinda hoping we just stick with different forms of social media going forward

Final thoughts: Boston and Chueam looked extra hot today I was shaking

[nonbinarycringe404]

This bedtime story is for the lovely @konnorhasapen

They requested and I quote "Vincent and Lovely's sickeningly sweet relationship but it's told from Adam/ dead Adam's POV

And how can I refuse something so delectable :}

Hi, I'm Adam. And tonight I'm going to tell you how I d-d-died *cue intro music*

First off I didn't do shit wrong

I was out walking after just Batista bombing my maker when I saw a snack of an ass

Oh and some human

who smelled nice may i add anyway I was hungry so I slid up to them and kindly told them that they were nothing more than a snack and I was going to fuck their boyfriend :) wELl then the MAN himself showed up, pimp slapped me so hard I was human for a second and told me to stay away from them. -_- bro they don't got your name on them??? or maybe they do- 👀

idk i ended up following them home veeeeeeeery stealthy like hehehe i hid in their closet

came outta the closet-

...

not like that- kidnapped them and hid them under the surge very poetic I know <3 when they woke up let me tell you full course meal 10/10 would attack and eat again

was i in the wrong? nOpe my mama said never to go to bed with an empty stomach

anyway on this day in particular for some fucked off reason

the fuckin human TURNED INTO A DAMN PIKACHU AND SHOCKED THE SHIT OUTTA ME UH THE FUCK????? HUMANS CAN DO THAT????

before i was able to ask whAT the hap was fuckining the door slammed open and

oh-

hi vincent nice weather we're having- ow-

oh

OH SHIT

THATS MY BODY

wheres my head-?

WHAT THE FUCK

DID I JUST DIE?!

"hello adam"

i turned to see my maker

oh fuck i was dead-dead

dayum-

my maker faded away all ghost like or sm so I watched bitch boy and Pikachu leave

Before he left he looked at my corpse and poked pikachus side

"Hey look, he gets no head"

they laughed at my FUCKING CORPSE???? AND QOUTED VINE THIS BITCH-

they walked out and left me there to rot >:( ... i ain't even made vincents hot asf

[aroacesafeplaceforall]

okay! My aro and or ace headcannons:

dr who (of any regeneration but i stared believing with the 10th) as fully asexual, sex neutral, not quite replused but is like whats the hype? Humans are weird. I also comsider him somewhere in the demiromantic, greyromantic sides of things. I wasnt mad when he was put in romantic relationships, but i dont think hes the type to often seek them out. (Paired with abandonment issues i dont think he ever needs a romantic parter (like do allos think they need a romantic partner??? Idk))

Sherlock (from bbc sherlock) idk if this is self explanatory or not i guess not since ive seen a lot of johnlock stuff in my time lol. But like he is confused by every concepr of sex and romance. Like he used someones crushe on him as a manipulation tactic. Doesnt often see how what he does hurts those with crushes on him. And like he is neurodivgent so i dont want to say he is aroace because of that, but it certaintly shouldnt take awah just how aro ace i see him. (Also fuck john for his causual anormativity in that show. Blatantly horrible)

aziraphale and crowley from good omens as asexual just cuz they dont need it. Theyre relationship is levels of queer, and in their relationship i dont think they need or want sexual intamacy.

muriel also from good omens as aroace. They are just innocent to me. But not to imply the idea that innocence=lack of sexual/romantic attractjon and or desire. I just dont think it suits them.

frenchie from ofmd, newest headcannon, he just never shows any interest? And i love that? Doesnt care about any of it. Is like yea okay, will politely decline anything

the corinthean from the sandman (tv) as aroallo. I can only exsplain this as he is a bisexual slut to me. Murderer who is a babygirl. He isnt intrested in romance but is (in the nicest way, not deragatory or anything) a slut. Will fuck around (and find out)

will graham from hannibal as heteroromantic, homosexual. Idk if this counts, just his romantic and sexual attraction dont line up, so he is aromantic toward men and asexual toward women.

lazlo from wwdits as bisexual/polyamorus (thats cannon but also) aromantic in some way. He doesnt have romantic attraction when he hooks up with someone, only has romantic toward nadja (his wife) .

collin robinson from wwdits as ace/aro flux i cant explain this one. He just is.

captian jack from dr who/torchwood. Cannonically bisexual but to me he is biromantic and homosexual. Agian idk if this counts. Its just not what i would consider an alloromantic exsperience to have split attractions.

theres probably more that im forgetting but heres the list for my more recently watched shows.

This is a 10/10 list and I fully believe them all now even tho I don’t belong to half of these fandoms

Hey darling, these questions please

10, 11, 12 from personal asks

18, 19, 20 from the writing asks

skyeee ! thank you 🥺 you are always so cool and it always makes my day when i see you around 💕

10. last movie you watched?

Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) !!! I have been following the production of that film since January of this year (I love Josh Hutcherson.) It was so dope to see in theaters as a childhood fan of the game and a huge fan of both Matt Lillard and Josh Hutcherson. Also wanted to lick JHutch's face the whole time. That's my girlfriend. Have I mentioned how much I love him?

11. last book you read?

oh girl...uh. not counting Shakespeare it's been...a minute. probably Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. no I didn't finish it.

12. last show you watched?

criminal minds is my comfort show, unfortunately for everyone, and also unfortunately for everyone i have been needing a lot of comfort this past month. idk if falling asleep to the serial murder show or the silent hill 3 OST is worse. you decide!

18. when do you get most of your ideas and inspiration for writing?

honestly when i'm doing fuck all is the best time for my brain to create things. high fever brought me the idea for revisionist history as it currently is, and having this cold now (one month later) has me co-writing a mad men au 🤠 and finishing a marcus pike oneshot. not getting any scripts done for class but whatever lol

19. describe your editing process

honestly...bad. ok well no. let's go with light. lighter than it should probably be. I edit in chunks as I write, then I'll leave it and specifically go back in to edit. Then I'll make some more tweaks and although I know it isn't perfect, I post and then usually ~the next day-ish I go into the post (on ao3 or Tumblr) and find any typos once again.

20. music, ambient noise, or silence when writing?

music always unless it's a specific scene that I can pull up specific youtube soundscapes for ...like a zombie apocalypse for example *cough*. anyway— the world tipped on its side and subsequent chapters are named after songs/lyrics, music heavily influences what I write and how I write it. with my place on the spectrum, it's really hard to function without music - it's kind of an integral part of my existence at this point. that's why my headphones look like shit 😭

questions!

[gretahayes]

my wk ranking from favorite to worst book alive personally goes;

- white knight presents: red hood (by clay mccormack) — yet to read it because i can’t bring myself to willingly read a jason book, but my girlfriend (wk expert) swears by it and i trust her.

- white knight presents: harley quinn (by katana collins) — gorgeous art, wistful feel, collins' representation of post partum depression was sooo everything, writing i adore; genuinely a ten out of ten book.

- white knight presents: generation joker (by katana collins and clay mccormack) — i would LOVE to rank this higher but it’s just a bit under presents hq. art that shows the twins as young as they are, finally, as murphy's art is good but makes them look fifteen at the youngest as opposed to their actual age of twelve. THEEEE twins book ever. siblingisms are insane. bryce has a personality! dyke subplot that is actually essential to the book. it’s so good because murphy had little influence.

big quality drop.

- beyond the white knight — nothing to write home about. pacing issues. little focus on jackie & more on terry & the adults, which is fine ig. jack's insistence on trying to homosexualize bruce made me laugh. decent book but i wouldn’t rec it to anyone. jackie :]

HUGEEEEE quality drop.

- white knight — i really genuinely hate this book. it’s shitty. it may have been less shitty if murphy didn’t add the pointless racist politics & blatant copaganda (copaganda that just grows stronger throughout all his books btw) but he did so. it’s just...bad. it sets up the world & gives a background for everything but idk. it's bad.

- curse of the white knight — worst wk book that i’ve read. nonsensical, largely pointless, horrible jpv takes. also just like hard to get through and not that good writing wise. uncomfortable. 0/10. the nazis were weird.

- WHITE KNIGHT PRESENTS: VON FREEZE — WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN. haven’t read it but i can and WILL still be a hater. it’s not the fact that there’s nazis in this book that i hate, it’s how unnecessary all this is. they shouldn’t be there. they could be a generic secret evil organization and it would make literally no difference. murphy mayyy have been trying to make a “i’m not like other batman writers, i think nazis are bad!!!” point but he could have just. not put them there at all. also he’s a white man and weird about it.

[drowsyanddazed]

10 books to get to know me by

thank you @fastasyoucan1999 @shipsnsails :)

the shadow of the wind, carlos ruiz zafón- this is my favorite book! it’s beautiful and reads as a love letter to book lovers <3 i wish i could read it in its original text. i wish i could read it for the first time again.

are you my mother?, p.d. eastman - this is a children’s book. when i was little, around 3/4, i had my parents read it to me so much that i had it memorized and before i could actually read i would flip through the pages “pretending” to read it back to them but actually just reciting it by memory

the hunger games trilogy, suzanne collins - i read this growing up and i remember my parents wanted to read it because it was so popular at the time and so i lent them my copies and it felt so cool, like i was a grown up or something. was a lot of fun going to the theaters to watch the films with them and my brother :)

pride and prejudice, jane austen - favorite classic! elizabeth bennet, a girl after my own heart <3

why we broke up, daniel handler & art by maira kalman - this is lemony snicket and it’s silly and trivial and it reads a bit like watching a late 90s/early 2000s indie film, but idk it’s like a comfort movie in book form to me. sometimes i’ll pick it up and read a couple chapters without intention to finish it through, you know, like watching just one episode of your comfort show, just to fall back into it for a little while

young mungo, douglas stuart - a new favorite! this one is pretty popular on here for good reasons i think

the goldfinch, donna tartt- loved this, could not get through the film erm but loved the book!

marley and me: life and love with the world’s worst dog, john grogan - i read this a long long time ago now but this is the first book that made me cry (like so much i had to stop because i couldn’t read the page) and it is also the first book that made me actually laugh aloud

wuthering heights, emily brontë - had to read this for school. i remember thinking i would not like it. i was wrong.

all the light we cannot see, anthony doerr - a beautiful, beautiful book. another one i lent to my dad after reading — he has a goal to read all the pulitzer prize winners

tags! @tempusfugitandallthatblog @meanbryn @thebloatedfrog @oohloverboyyy

[netherfeildren]

wait wait you like minari too? your taste is impecabble<3 just wondering, do you have any other favourite movies/recs?

sat on this bc I wanted to give a detailed response lolz I love minari so much I thought about youn yuh-jung's performance in that film for such a long time after watching it she was so gorgeous and so phenomenal and when she won the best supporting actress Oscar I about lost my damn mind, so so deserved

other things I love in no particular order:

-the favourite (I love Yorgos Lanthimos' work the lobster is another favorite and his new one coming out poor things looks AMAZING and like it was constructed specifically with all of my own personal tastes in mind - I'm so excited for it and need to read the book immediately)

-not to be a film bro but interstellar is top two of my favorite films of all times idc Nolan is a master and I watch and love everything he makes (ive watched tenet like 10 times and still have no idea wtf is going on and I LIKE THAT about it )

-not to be a basic bitch now but pride and prejudice is my favorite movie ever ever I watch it at least once a month every single month it'll never get old and yes I do cry at the end every time

-to go hand in hand with my love of historical romance novels I am also a great lover of period dramas obviously I love Emma (2020) so much it's a gorgeous work of art, Jane eyre (2011) I love Mia wasikowska, Marie Antoinette and anything else Sofia Coppola has ever made, Anna karenina (another Joe wright masterpiece)

-anything Wes Anderson but particularly Rushmore (1998) which is one of his lesser known films I feel like but it means a lot to me for various very personal reasons and I wish more people talked about it (I need to watch asteroid city immediately)

-PHANTOM THREAD greatest romcom of all time (jk hehe) but fuck Paul Thomas Anderson I don't like that dude

-everything guillermo del torro but particularly crimson peak (guillermo my man pls pls pls plsssssssss do Dracula and cast Adam driver I'll give u my first born plsssss splsssssss guillermo father pleaaassseeeeee!!!!)

-the green knight !!!!!!!!!!!! changed my brain when I watched it dev Patel is so fucking hot but also like it was just so gorgeous and such a wonderful adaptation and the monster fucker in me low key liked the green knight himself likeeeeeeee idk what to say I am the way I am

-Robert Eggers the light house, the man from uncle (I love most guy Richie films I love his high paced action and all that fun stuff), park chan-wook's STOKER !!!!!!!! I fucking love that film omg, everything Denise villeneuve too but particularly arrival is a goddamn masterpiece and it's so wrong that Amy Adams didn't win the Oscar for that (poor Amy with the no Oscar curse)

-for like comfort movies stepmom (1998) - devastating but I watch it all the time if I could live in any house from a movie ever it'd be Susan Sarandon's house in that movie, billy elliot (2000), 20th century women (2016), lady bird, funny girl - BARBARA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!, howl's moving castle, this is 40 (my favorite comedy ever), paterson (2016), uptown girls, the rocky horror picture show

-oh and more recently the banshees of inisherin moved me so incredibly deeply I actually recently got in an argument with someone who said that it was pointless and stupid and I was SO OFFENDED devastating funny introspective all the things I was very sad when Collin ferrel didn't win the academy award for it I thought he was so ... I don't know what the right word is I guess like changed? in the role of padraic and GOD BERRY KEOGHAN there goes that dream I cried so hard so beautiful Kerry Condon also they were all so spectacularly devastating in that film I could go on about it for days

sorry this was so long you guys know I love to run my mouth when given the opportunity hehe

[mahoushojoe]

1, 2, 15, and 17 for the books ask game!! mwah<3

HIIII beloved ponyo!!!

1. Book I've reread the most times

House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones. My dad got that book for me when I was like? 10? 11? I've reread it countless times since and I swear I'm not exaggerating but I have NEVER been bored while rereading it. I love that book a lot lol its my favorite ever

2. Top 5 books of all time?

really hard BUT here we go. this is not in any particular order

1. Beloved by Toni Morrison

2. Men in the Sun by Ghassan Kanafani

3. The Beginning and the End by Naguib Mahfouz

4. Season of Migration to the North by Tayyib Saleh

5. this is so funny to put next to all these but genuinely, genuinely: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

15. Recommend and review a book.

HURGHHH okay okay. The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers was a really nice read. I like science fiction and aliens and all that and it really had such creative interesting world building while simultaneously having very human beautiful characters. Some parts are :/ but to be fair I haven't read the full trilogy it's a part of so 🤷‍♀️ maybe it rectifies them. It has that lovely found family vibe and lots of fun little anecdotes within the larger plot; feels more like a TV show or a group of short stories than a novel really but it was really good and still had a cohesive narrative. I thought it was pretty fun and had some really great emotional beats. If you like sci-fi I really recommend it!

17. Top 5 children's books

WELL OKAY um hmmm. im just gonna be nostalgic here and say stuff I miss reading

uh definitely the diana wynne jones stuff (howl's moving castle, house of many ways). ADORE those two. i tried reading castle in the sky but it was just too orientalist so I put it down. I am choosing to forgive diana for it

um okay. hm. see because idk what constitutes as childrens literature bc even as a kid kid i was reading YA at the very least? i think all children should get to experience a warrior cats book at least once in their lives

guardians of ga'hoole was pretty great i remember. i loved it

okay whatever im just gonna list stuff i was reading back then whether its for kids or not:

the hunger games

eragon (i miss it so much omg)

i think that should count as five? lmfao this is such a non-answer djsjfjjfkssokdd

[tiktaalic]

Do you think the confession will ever be addressed offically

It’s been addressed “officially” in that both actors have commented on it at conventions but I don’t think. Andrew dabb is ever gonna give an interview about it. I don’t think @thecw on twitter is going to tweet about it until mmmmmaybe. 10 years from now? Bobo I think will probably remain quiet while he’s still working on a show in the same network lmao and then it’s a case of will someone care enough to ask him about it X amount of years from now. The misha collins documentary ala scream, queen! My nightmare on elm street. Is the best bet I think. And his stupid political aspirations are throwing a wrench in that timeline to me. It’s either that. A book autobiography instead that will leave it as a footnote. Or maybe like. Ruthie mark osric doing a podcast like the one the glee ppl do and having Special Guest Star misha to complain with them also as a footnote. Idk. Short answer. No.

@candle-lion the stupid fanfic asks part 1/3, “all divisible by 3” 🫡

3: on a scale of 1-10 how much do you enjoy incorporating romance into the average story?

A solid 8! I’m a hopeless romantic at heart. I like fluffy romantic shit

6: do you have any kind of consistent writing schedule or just hoping for the best?

I write about the same times when I do write, but I’m pretty spontaneous about it. I like to write at night, but I don’t set aside specific time’s necessarily

9: in an ideal world where you’re already super successful and published, would you want to see a tv or movie adaptation of your work? why or why not?

YES. That would be COOL AS FUCK. I will say, I would be incredibly disappointed if it was a bad adaptation, but it would be cool to see the characters I’ve created on screen anyway. Plus I can bitch with the fans about what they got wrong and I think it would be fun

12: do you ever have trouble focusing on writing? how do you get around that? 

Yes, constantly. Usually I will just power through, some good music and a sprint usually helps. However, sometimes I find that stepping back, having a snack, some water, and/or a nap and then trying again helps.

15: where do you share your writing?

Here, AO3, occasionally Discord. My irls can see my og stuff but they don’t see my fics.

18: what is your most and least favorite part of writing?

Favorite is when the plot clicks into place and when I get to reread That Scene in a fic that I’ve been SO excited for. Lead favorite is when the plot ISN’T clicking or I feel like I’ve written myself into a corner. Also the imposter syndrome!

21: pick a writer to co-write a book with and tell us what you’d write about.

You. Monsterfucking. Next question. /j Uuuuuuh Idk really. I am ashamed of how little I’ve read recently and not a lot of Authors come to mind. Suzanne Collins would be fun but she’s too Big Brain for me. Realistically if any of the mutuals asked me to collab, I’d probably be down tho

24: on average, how much writing do you get done in a day?

I’m all in or nothing. I’ll do 3-4k in a night or nothing for 3 days.

27: do you share rough drafts or do you wait until it’s all polished? And who do you share them with?

I share rough drafts with other writer friends (you’ve seen snippets of course). Never the whole bit really, but parts I like or I’m excited about or want advice on.

30: most inspirational quote you’ve ever read or heard that’s still important to you.

Not a specific quote, but that queering the map project? I think about that a lot. The way it’s people trying to give inspiration, trying to survive, trying to make each other laugh. It’s very showing of the kindness of humanity, I think. I want to make a journal of inspirational quotes and bits of writing that I’ve read, I’ve actually already got the empty journal, so I’ll probably be obnoxious about that!!

33: do you start with the characters or the plot when writing?

With fic, characters. It’s easier for me to begin kind of sorting through the roles and figuring out how characters fit, and work on the plot from there. With original stories, I’ll generally get a basic plot > a main character or two > the rest of the plot > then the rest of the cast

@misfitsandmischief said: 🚼 Collin and Camilo Because of course. I'd say do as many as you want tbh XD

But also @droppingdonkeys said: 🚼 I'm gonna cheat: any of the clay children you mentioned

Here they are, all the Camolin kids (so far) in age order. I couldn't remember what names we picked, also couldn't find the chat, so I just went wild with both names and gifts for them XD from the chats I could find I don’t know if the baked children are clay or bread, but they ARE cute so who cares XD

Cain is the oldest at 12. He turns more into a mini Camilo every day. (I'm sure we said a gift for him but I can't remember it so if I do I'll come back and put it here XD)

Callie is next, she's 10. Her glasses are actually tinted, and purely to protect her eyes during the day, because her gift is night vision.

Then Carla. She's 9, and she was the first non-baked child. Ironically, her gift is the ability to temporarily animate inanimate objects. Basically, she is queen of puppet shows, and Camilo is very proud. (Idk why she's holding a frog. He's her friend I guess)

After Carla is Celeste. She's 6. (She's actually too pale here but the picrew only had so many skin tones). She's a little ray of sunshine, and her gift is her singing voice. Anybody that hears her is immediately cheered up (though how much of that is magic and how much is down to her being adorable is anyone's guess). She's also supporting a theory that any children Camilo carries himself wind up looking like Pepa.

Then the family devil, Chico. He's 3, and Camilo and Colin went back to baking for baby number 5. They're also kind of dreading his gift ceremony, because he's already chaotic without any magic.

And last (for now) the baby, Cisco! I couldn't find a good baby avatar maker but picture him at about 1 year old.
