ooh this is kinda like Kamari.

... fae almost dies in the 'third episode' now I have inspiration for the rest heheheh

maybe i didnt come back wrong maybe i was just a weird freak when i was alive but i hid it and acted so normal and after i died i decided to stop pretending. maybe being resurrected was the perfect opportunity for me to be myself because i knew you would chalk it up to the horror of me coming back wrong. but the horror was always inside me. did u think about that

[thissliceofnonsense]

I just realized something.

I don't think there's been an "on the run" story with a parent (who is a cinnamon roll that has killed things) and their child (who is a morbid overdramatic theater kid).

I'm the first at something! *excitement*

(Unless this has been done before, if so, let me know, I didn't know how much I needed this trope.)

[anulithots]

A bunch of Lotff doodles that got buried or that I forgot to post

forever unfinished

You can tell which arts are before ANuli lost faer leaves. ANd I lost the fragments I tore off so... yea anywho Anuli has broken leaves on one side.

"Draw your mood in this chart" Anuli gets sudden bursts of happiness and overall the constant guilt isn't treating faer well. Kamari refuses to acknowledge how bad being the High Protector is. And Ankh does know shit about feelings.

Anuli's pondering, and has gotten very comfortable with the idea of trying to get faerself as upset as possible.

yea

They have a veryyy cozy backstory. Like full of fluff.

At 3am

They are bonding

Names. (Kamari means moon.) Alsoo nooo I don't know how languages work here. Ankh just means 'eye' so like... IDK what to tell you.

Ignore how Sitara's design looks a lot like Aisfa... I'm going to change Aisfa's design a bit.

Also these are subject to change... because this was the original idea for them

Anywho so Sitara hangs around Anuli for another reason that I couldn't draw that well.

The siblings. (There is a height difference... I just didn't draw that. ANuli's a lot smaller than most dryads... although no one knows faer age and everyone ages differently.)

Kamari didn't think faerself one to hold grudges. Fae doesn't usually.

sobbing and crying. The only expressions I know how to do.

About the height difference of faries. Techincally if you go by trees then Ankh is a lot taller than Kamari... but techincally trees are terms for tree like things that are wildly different and at some point the fact that they are all bipedal makes no sense anyways. So... suspend your disbelief? I did at one point try to design bird-like and four-legged dryads and ended up drawing what was easiest for me. I went crazy trying to get everything scientifically accurate soooo theyyy'reee nooot. The tree society is accurate and that's about it.

Ehhhh I'm not that good at drawing anything but floating heads (and I only know how to draw arms when they're bent). But here's Kamari!

(And so all sorts of dryads will have all sorts of different body types and proportions and suchh... so basically I'm giving myself lotsss of creative liberty here)

Sitara and Anuli yeyey

Draw this in your style

but's it's a lotff art I failed at. (I had a whole anime style scene in my head whyy subpar art skills why)

So here's the text prompt:

Kamari laughed, leaned faer head on faer hand, and shot a side glance at Ankh. "I love you." Ankh's expression hardened. "Don't say that." "Why not?" Kamari grinned. "I'm fooling myself"

So there's a different version in the failed art...

Notes: ANkh is taller than kamari, and the original idea had a Kamari fake smile.

SO! Do whatever you'd like here! A panel, the mini comic (that would be crazy), change expressions, the composition, and such! Please tag me so I can see it

'Refs':

okay so this might be the only current drawing I have of them???

umm. ANkh has a leaf tail, plantigrade. kamari is more like a kangaroo? Digigrade but not really? Long feet and fae stands on faer toes most of the time.

*loooks up a kangaroo* okay so modified kangaroo. Fae also has wings! wowo.

1st is this one -

2nd is this one -

When they fought, Kamari won... but it really wasn't for the best.

I AM HAUNTED BY A PAST I CANNOT GO BACK TO !!!!!! anyways

[anulithots]

They had an argument.

(The first of many actually....)

And akdjfads I missed drawing them.

Thank you yaelokre for songs that got me into the drawing mood. <3

Welcome, non-plant beings, my creatures of night and nonsense, my dear audience, to this weird and wonderous collection of mine.

I promise you won't be told a story with an answer, with some "here's how I fixed my life & the journey it took to get there" I promise that there won't be a "hope to get better" which makes now feel so stark in contrast. I promise I wont make it seem simple or linear or a sudden "aha moment" to make things suddenly seem clear.

What I promise is a story, to the best of my ability, where there are no weeds to pull. no seeds to plant, no fruits to pick. The garden will grow and die, change & cycle back to the beginning. And through it all, in this moment with the dappled sun reflecting off the dew, the weeds in a thick blanket, forgotten fruit as a feast for the birds - we are wild and it is beautiful, no matter how much they want a cultivated, perfectly trimmed and oh-so-stale-garden.

----

TL;DR - I'm currently in a Link Click hyperfixation, and I my main WIP is the Land of the Fallen Fairies. I also have a biology fanfiction and a teddy bear nightmare warrior story on the side. And I like being asked about character analysis, whether that be my own characters or any character from this list + characters from LInk Click

-----

How the fae/faer/faerself pronouns work

Open to tag games and asks and... literally anything.

Name's Noor/Noorie btw. Closeted genderfluid and aspec (queer platonic/split attraction model... or whatever this is). Pronouns are they/them, it/its and anything fancy.

----

Each of the subsections leads to masterposts for everything! (The intro post got waaayyy tooo long)

The Land of the Fallen Fairies.

A nature-themed commentary on the pursuit of happiness and fixing yourself to deserve that happiness, told by an overthinking, unreliable, houseplant narrator.

Zine

Uquiz

TW: self-hatred, suicidal thoughts, and self-deprecation.

Anuli's story collection.

Anuli's (and my) favorite stories from around tumblr

Jujutsu Kaisen Hyperfixation

As the name suggests, I am hyperfixated. I have also written essays analyzing these characters. Be very afraid. And/or come suffer with me /pos

Also also, for those who don't want to see any JJK smut, this blog should be safe for you! <3 I ship Satosugu but in a... transcend labels, queer platonic flavor sort of way. And I flipflop on itafushi. Either way they are soul mates and transcend labels. Found family dynamics and everlasting friendships/comfort people are peak fiction for me.

Link Click Hyperfixation

They are my everything. They can live in my head rent free foreverrr.

Tumblr's houseplant garden.

Growing a garden of houseplants based off this weird thing called existence, "planted" by others from tumblr.

Fantasy Frog and Toad

A story about two princes cursed to be a frog and toad because they couldn't decide on whether to be self-determined and individualistic, or be traditional and family oriented, because why can't you be both?

Curious.

(winner gets art, backstory.... something. You pick... and i'd like to know the reason why you picked your choice. Thanks <3 )

Some of these names took research and lots of changes. Others needed improv. ANd they stuck.... *sigh* (all the "A" names... there's too many)

I got emotionally attached to a character. Planned to have angst in the 'they both live but in regret' sort of way

replotting happened

Had no choice but to kill them off and in the polls I did they are a favorite.

and to anyone who follows me for the land of the fallen fairies and knows who I'm talking about and happens to stumble across this... I'm sorry.

... I am not opposed to a 'they managed to survive'.

So let's do another poll, shall we?

also a guess for which character it is would be nice! /not forced

A writers curse is when you become emotionally attached to the characters you planned to kill off

[anulithots]

The duo is back!! (Ankh and Kamari)

short but Kamari is silly and yes, they are getting a rewrite. Ankh's tethered in this version.

_____________________________________________________________

"My arm feels funny"

Ankh held out faer hand. "Give it here."

Kamari tilted faer hand, grinned. "Aw so nice that you're concerned," fae did as Ankh said and bowed faer head. "I probably just pulled it but thank you regardle-"

"It's broken."

".... What?"

Ankh narrowed faer eyes. "How long has it been like this?"

Kamari gently tugged faer arm away. "... only a few days."

"A FEW DAYS?!"

Kamari frowned. "You seem upset-"

"How. did. you. break. your. arm. and. not. know."

Kamari shrugged. "It didn't feel broken."

"It didn't feel-" Ankh sighed. "You are a buffoon. I'll need seven herbs to fix this."

"Is it that bad?"

"YES." Ankh leaned as far foreword as fae could, and faer tether tugged at faer neck. "I can't even put into words how idiotic you are. You'll get yourself killed."

"And this would upset you?" Kamari smirked, placing faer head atop faer hands. "I'm flattered. You're both practical and considera-"

"Don't do that." Ankh yanked Kamari's arm away and Kamari half-toppled over. "No pressure on it. Get herbs. Don't die."

Kamari nodded. "Of course, of course. You know everything."

Ankh squeaked. "Please get them before you break something else."

ASKS SO FAR

What's Kamari's favorite weather/season? (thank you for the ask @emabatis

[anulithots]

.... This is litteraly the Land of the Fallen Faires.

Anuli and Kamari <-- researched, went through multiple iterations.

Everyone else <-- come up with something random on the spot

Fun fact! In Ankh's 'first appearance' (a scrapped piece of Anuli POV), fae was just called 'Eyes' as a nickname, I'd change it later.

I changed it to Ankh (Eye) because I knew it off the top of my head (semi-bilingual whoopdedoo)... as a temperary nickname.

....

.....

....

I don't think I can change it now.

Some character names are "I researched saints' lives and Medieval flower symbolism and etymology for ten thousand years to come up with the perfect name that has a hundred billion layers of symbolism" and other character names are "I just think it sounds nice :)" and 99 times out of 100 readers will neither know nor care which is which but somehow it's still very very important on the writing end

[anulithots]

"Last day before it all went wrong. (they are talking about plays)"

I might have to rewrite some of this because it's before Anuli's POV got a style change, but they talk about plays for a bit and Anuli gets all excited about making a play better than all of the 'bad ones'. Kamari finds it heartwarming.

Well, nice sentiment, I guess.

I decided Ankh should get a tail.. then the others came about.

And while you're here, how about a sequel to the nickname snippet?

_____________

"You know my 'little moon' nickname?"

"Do you wish to be called 'disaster fairy' instea-"

"I have to come up with a cute nickname for you now!"

"Absolutely no-"

"How about-" Kamari waved faer hands with a dramatic flair, "eyeball."

"....."

"Pretty wonderous, isn't it eyebal-"

Ankh stood. "Goodbye."
