#katie lore

[orchideous-nox]

On my birthday this year, I sat in the food court at the zoo and explained Rosekiller to my mum and because it was my birthday she did not cut me off. I rambled about the pronunciation of "Rosier" and how Karkaroff says it different to Crouch Sr, how Barty took polyjuice potion to turn into the man who killed the love of his life, how Evan left Moody with a lasting reminder of their duel and Barty locked him away in a trunk for months. I told her about Evan's obsessions with teeth and bones and dissecting animals, and how Barty is unhinged but will help Evan with his science experiments to make him happy.

It was perfect.

[myfairkatiecat]

Yes, your childhood lore

Why hello mysterious anon. What an interesting question to ask.

Let’s play five truths and a lie, shall we?

:)

[the-hawkeyes]

for the canon casters: what does casting magic feel like to your wol? how does being "out of mana" feel?

for the physical fighters: how does it feel when they do those impossible moves? the twirls, the jumps? do they supplement with aether? dynamis? is it purely physical or is something else involved?

what would your wol be if they weren't the wol? what would they do as a job or career? would they be happier?

for Katie! (idk if shes a melee or caster or both so i sent both)

Oh gosh this is quite the question to answer, but its perfect because I've been trying to think about her fighting style for a bit (both for the WoL part and also if she was in a fighting game).

Katie is both. She's a rushdown sort of fighter. She wants to get right into your face, mix you up, and make you feel powerless. It took.....probably until Stormblood to really get her fighting style down. She uses magic to be both offensive and defensive (but like, 80-20 respectively. Yeah she has a DP lmao [Dragon Punch, an invincible special move that is powerful when it hits but it super hurts when it misses and you get punished for it]).

Casting feels secondhand to her now. It's as simple and easy as breathing, as thinking, as moving an arm without thinking. It simply....happens. There's a sensation there, sure, but she always struggles to explain it properly. She thinks it, she does it, she feels it. Hear, Feel, Think.

For being out of mana, she feels empty. It's an uncomfortable feeling, like someone took a spoon into her and scooped out all of her insides. Hollow. Her personality changes during this state too. She's still in full control of her faculties and mind, but there's very little emotion behind her voice. She doesn't particularly like this feeling, so she tends to avoid it whenever possible.

For doing the actual, physical fighting? It's a thrill. With Fray and Ravana packed within her, its exhilarating. It relates up to the part where she does magic. When she fights its mostly all her doing it, having trained her body to do these things. Naturally she augments her fighting with aether, and now is working on incorporating Akasa (dynamis, i like Akasa so much better) into what she can do more willingly.

She feels free, thrilled, unhinged when she's physically fighting. She tends to get more focused than she should, Ravana's influence ever present even though the primal is no longer wanting to take over her body like he was trying to do at the start.

As for if she wasn't the WoL? She'd be a carpenter. A woodworker. Less making pieces of art to display in homes but making the homes, making the displays. It's something she's always done and continues to do as the WoL. She has her own workshop now, sometimes taking commission work, but mostly doing it because she loves it and she can!

[katie-is-tired-yay]

okay story time

when I was a kid, we had a black cat called Daisy. Daisy died when she was less than a year old, due to complications when she was neutered. Last week, I bought a set of earrings, black cats with flowers. I didn’t even realise it until today but those flowers are daisies.

That cat was only in my life for such a short time, but she left such a mark on me. And now, every now and again, I can put those on and carry a reminder of her with me.

[orchideous-nox]

yesterday my manager was like "Katie's creative, do you have any ideas for making Halloween decorations for the office?", like I don't think any creativity skills I have will be useful in this scenario unless you get really cool with a lot of things real quick

the president of the company i work for asked me today if my “creative writing hobby” (i have no idea how he knows i write) would be helpful at work…

[paprikaries]

"L'enfer" _ og Vaggie tribute Fanart: Vaggie/Vagatha/Hazbin Hotel (spindlehorse studio/Vivziepop/Amazon) So, as far as I understood watching some old Vivziepop drawings, apparently she originally was a demon, not an angel, and she went to hell because she committed suic1de (which was considered a sin few years ago in catholicism) hanging herself to escape the bullying or something like that. It was very dark, but I think it would have been a good way to criticize the sorting of souls between heaven and hell, to talk about how sometimes victims were sent to hell, not just executioners. What do you think?

What is this blog about?

Now, about the environment:

By the title, this blog is about my new BATiM AU "Human in town!"

It surrounds Zoe's experience as a toon, living in a world that is both scary and one he finds content in. He meets fellas he likes, fellas he doesn't or hate. This story is full of parallels and symbolic themes with meaning. Through this circumstance, Zoe will have to learn to get accustomed to this world and meet people he never expected to meet.

• This story takes place in Toon Town, or as most refer to it "Toonsie town". A small fact, toons can immediately tell what type of personality a toon has just by which name they use for the town.

• Toon Town is the equivalent of New York, which is infested with all sorts of different toons, considering it is a big town. The smaller towns are Inkfell (Full of mafiosos with ink businesses), Hale Halos (Populated by angel toons)

• As by the first cover I did for the AU, this au takes place in 1961.

• Toon Town and other towns or living areas are separate from the human world. Each toon has the ability to leave the human world, but none can leave the toon world. This is important.

• The Toon government doesn't take kindly to non-native toons/ humans because an old stereotype. "All humans are monsters and money hungry".

• Toons can have kids! Weird thing to say, but it's relevant (Not telling until it has to be, but one character in this story is half human).

The characters:

Not in the human way, but by an ink machine.

• ~Zoe/y Baabee ///////~

And you probably already guessed, Zoe is a human in disguise. Well, he's technically a toon now, but with all the differences he has compared to toons, he gets his own category (Non-native toon)

We're talking about The Saints' corporation. If you once even belonged to it, you get marked with a cross on either your neck, chest, back, or even everywhere if it fades.

He was kidnapped by Mr. Ross' gang for reasons no one knows, not even Zoe himself. Luckily, Benedetto saved him during a turf fight and had kept him in his gang ever since. He's been taught all the street smarts and everything to keep himself safe. And as an angel, he had to be extra careful, because even if the wings on his head were small, they were worth plenty of cash. Oh and his halo.

Though, Zoe doesn't really talk about that incident often, only when he needs to for information.

He was a part of a corporation and business, which he was forced to enter and also leave. Sounds silly, but this needs a lot of lore to specify and, of course, finishing the comics.

Random little fact: Zoe has the capability to change his colour palette! Some (humans) toons like him can get random little powers based on their past lives.

Though he mostly keeps it to blue or yellow, depending on his mood/season of the year

Next on the list is...

• Benedetto 'Bendy' Stein

For now, I'll keep this short, since I don't want to spoil much. And I'll have elaborate on why Bendy's personality traits are too short (Yeah, it's because Bendy's gotta be the center of attention).

Soo... Let's start off straight and clear, Bendy's a mafia boss. And a good one at that, despite being kind of a dumbass. However, he's kept quite a reputation for the past few years, especially in 1959 (I ain't telling you why 🤫🧏).

His partners in crime are Boris (his best friend, and also a part of the mafia), Samuel 'Sammy' Lawrence (One of his soldiers), Charlie, Barley, Edgar (which joined Bendy's gang as an agreement, but aren't important in the story) Katie, and Daniel.

And for his personality, well...

He's... confident to say the least, it's what scares the rivals, and other things... 😨

Anyway, he's, despite his attitude or "occupation", he's quite loving and caring to the people he loves or cares about. One of his redeeming qualities. And if we compare him to the other mafiosos, he'd be a saint. But it doesn't mean he doesn't get his hands dirty when he needs to. Just not innocent people of town or people who don't deserve it. Ey, at least he's being fair!

This demon's short-temper and anger can lead to the entire town collapsing. Luckily, no one made him that triggered.

But lately... someone has been keeping him calm for a little while...

• Boris Stein

Another mafia boss to the list (Benedetto and Boris run the same one. They were forced to share /j)

Okay, Boris seems like a prick on the outside, but is quite caring and soft to the people he thinks deserves it (except Katie, they don't get along well...). His tough exterior and physique helps him in fights, and also to intimidate rivals.

Benedetto's short temper and anger problems always have to be relieved, and Boris is there to do it as the calm older brother.

Boris is depicted as aggressive for a reason. Not because he will lash out like Benedetto, but because his remarks can be passive aggressive or his fighting style is all over the place.

• Samuel 'Sammy' Lawrence

Oh this grumpy old man...

Anyways... Sammy's a human as well. And has been here FAAAR longer than Daniel is. He died in 1935, when he was 26 years old, and is now pushing his retirement age. He hides his true age so Benedetto wouldn't place him in the retirement home. He's still 54, but his "body" and mind is one of a 30+ year old. He isn't that wise to be a grandpa, but isn't ignorant enough to be your typical older brother.

He's a trustworthy man for Benedetto, with his intelligence surrounding ambushing, and unlocking different closed off places, rooms, vaults, etc.

Though, his cold personality facade helps him a lot to gain respect, but deep down he is battling with a lot...But what?

• Cinnamon --------

Toon Town's biggest sunshine. She's basically the kindest person you could ever talk to. She's amazing at advice and enjoys spending time with her friends and -----.

She, despite her sweet and optimistic personality, is quite reserved, afraid of saying too much. She always tries to display herself the best way possible. She's afraid to show her true self.

Not important to the story (for now)

• Katie M'lady

Born to be a tiger, forced to be a lap cat.../j

Katie is a fierce soldier who will always protect her fellow comrades. If you're being jumped, she'll probably help you (unless if you stole her favourite booze from the bar cabinet). Benedetto always takes her everywhere during chaotic missions, because of her experience with fighting, and also her capability of working under pressure. She's quite reserved, so no one knows much of her. Only that she'll beat your ass if you look at her the wrong way.

• Matthew Ross

(temporary drawing)

Matthew Ross has been in this mafia game far longer than Benedetto was. Though, with Benedetto's rising power and status, it has made this fallen angel grow with uncertainty if he will keep him status as the most powerful.

Matthew is a sadistic prick who has zero feelings for anyone outside his mafia. Any innocent toon could get killed even for as little as glancing at their dirty work. Despite being once an angel, he has no intentions of ever redeeming himself. He enjoys this life off of living better than half the toon population.

He has barely a few scars, but those few are very major...Like his eye. I won't tell who gave them, but I think it's pretty obvious already XDD

(NOT OPEN FOR ASKS UNTIL I FINISH HIS REF SHEET!!)

Regarding Ethan/p4perback

Upon reviewing the stream that Ethan/EJ/p4perback did on October 11th 2024 called "clearing up some stuff", there is a specific thing that he said that needs to be discussed because I have not seen a single person mention this. And yes, we are using names now. I will be speaking factually about this one particular thing Ethan said in this livestream and this thing alone. Yes, I have opinions on other things he said, however, these are down to my interpretation of Ethan's words and attitude and therefore do not have a place in this post. Maybe in the future I will speak more openly about other my opinions if I feel like it, but not in this post. I am in no way speaking on anyone's behalf either, this is purely from me.

At 02:34:32, Ethan reads out a comment explaining that the mod who made a thread about Ethan uses it/xin/they pronouns on Twitter (it has since made a post saying it does not use they pronouns) but told Ethan directly it uses it/its. Ethan then replied by saying:

"Maybe it's because it's a day-to-day thing, I know that there are people who are genderfluid. Or they just did it to trip me up. Could be one or the other."

As someone who identifies as genderfluid, I find it incredibly hurtful to insinuate that someone who is genderfluid or uses multiple pronouns or neopronouns would give someone the incorrect pronouns to "trip them up". This is disgusting and hurtful and it shouldn't take being genderfluid to understand why you should not say something like this.

The person Ethan was referring to told Ethan its pronouns directly and therefore he should believe that it was being sincere and honest rather than misgendering itself to "trip" Ethan up.

I'm going to address the rest of this directly to Ethan, not that I expect him to see this, but I hope people pay attention. Not everybody has a constant agenda to catch you out Ethan, I understand this stream was following a Twitter thread regarding you, however, I believe the mod/ex-mod wanted accountability for current actions as well as past ones. But its gender and pronouns have nothing to do with this. If somebody had said you told them you were using he/him pronouns to trip them up, you would be enraged and rightfully so, please consider this and look back at what you said in your stream.

You said this on a stream of hundreds if not thousands of people who look up to you and admire you and expect explanations for things outlined in the thread. Like I said, I'm not going to acknowledge anything said in that thread right now, but I understand it was a stressful situation to go through. You were tired, exhausted, and in pain from filming and travelling, but this does not excuse what you said about your ex-mod's pronouns and frankly, it would be appalling if you used that as an excuse. If you were tired to the point of saying things you did not mean in a stream where you are trying to be genuine, honest and authentic, end the stream. If you were tired to the point of accusing someone of purposefully misgendering itself for the same of tripping you up, please consider where this came from within you.

I appreciate you really tried to get its pronouns correct in the stream, adjusting to pronouns you are unfamiliar with and how to use them respectfully can be a struggle, I say this as someone who has had to be patient with a lot of people getting used to they/them pronouns for my sake, but you can be angry at someone without saying things that are hurtful not just to that person but to an entire community of people. I would expect better from you.

Finally, I want to end with a message to Ethan's fans if they have read this far. I have seen some a lot of people including Andy in the comments of posts on multiple platforms that about Ethan, who very clearly want to defend and support Ethan and see him happy. I think it is great that you support someone so faithfully and defend them. However, there is a portion of the community who fail to recognise that people don't have to like Ethan and they will have their reasons for this. We are entitled to our opinions. You are entitled to like Ethan, we are entitled not to. You can think of him however you like, I used to watch Ethan's tiktoks and like them and share them with friends, but you do not need to tell people they are jealous of what he has and that they're bullying Ethan for no reason simply because they don't like him. This post is not bullying, it is accountability.

Please give that same kindness to others that you say Ethan gives to his community. I know this saying is overdone but it is free to be kind, it is also free to be respectful and understand what spaces are for you and what aren't. Yes, people are talking about Ethan now and eyes are on him, but they are on you too. I will not stand for harassment and bullying for expressing how his words made me feel. Please be respectful.

[myfairkatiecat]

how long have you been in fandom/writing fandom things? (not just kotlc, fandom in general)

I made my first ao3 account in 2020 during my Star Wars phase, ended up deleting it, and made a new one in 2021, still during Star Wars

However, the very first fandom I ever wrote for was Keeper of the Lost Cities. Right after Nightfall came out, I wrote a version of what I thought could happen in Flashback. I was eleven and the fic included Amy turning out to be an elf and Linh training her in hydrokinesis. Sophie and Fitz also got together forever, and Biana and Keefe started dating. As you can tell, I have changed A LOT since I was eleven!! :D

So yeah 2017 was my first ever fandom fjc ever, and my earliest fanfictions were for KOTLC! I wrote a few for the wiki at some point too (I genuinely don’t remember how that worked) and had quite a few things posted on Wattpad. I didn’t write a ton of kotlc fanfiction after 2019, until this year, when I decided to come to tumblr and interact with my favorite fandom of all time, and naturally all the fanfic ideas came rushing back.

Thanks for the ask!!

[the-way-astray]

oop accidentally put that ask on anon haha

(i have no idea what either of you look like tbh)

okay, fair that you didn't know katie has blue eyes, but why do i have purple eyes. i feel like. that is not the conclusion one would jump to when trying to guess someone's eye color

also why are we divorced twice over what is this. fun fact: me and my irl friends googled how many times you can divorce and remarry the same person and it's completely unlimited; the government will never step in and go "bitch we saw what happened the last x number of times you tried this". so we could do this for all eternity, in theory. so that's a thing i know . . . don't ask about what irl lore made me google this. it's complicated

thank you for making me taller than katie. this is much appreciated

@myfairkatiecat there's fanart now

[letterlifter]

hi mr mailman! i know you arent a part of the writing team, but is there any specific reason why pacesetter and firestarter ended up paired together? you've mentioned both of them having musical/metal inspo, was that part of it? or was it more of just throwing darts at a board? love your work!! <3

thank you!

this is just my personal/non-official/non-lore perspective on it, but I see a lot of character relationships in media that have some obvious shared theme, like fire and water, which is cool… But Pacesetter and Firestarter, despite being seemingly unrelated at a glance, actually have subtler things in common (shared music taste being among them… PS probably enjoys hearing about drama from FS too). their personalities complement each other well despite the visual differences. firestarter needs the confidence; pacesetter needs the appreciation, validation, and probably many other things… maybe he could learn some patience too…

as for the real-world reason why they're in a relationship… well… my memory is bad, but IIRC, it came up a year or two ago... I believe the idea for their relationship existed before either character had a tie to music, back when they just had personalities and designs (which are essentially the same as they are now), so in that way, the initial idea was very personality based

of course the previous paragraphs relate to it, but let’s say this– they told me personally that they wanted to be together

[bemorekleinman]

I haven't actively engaged with the BMC fandom outside of the occasional fanart reblog in years, and I think because of that, I accidentally mandela effected myself into thinking michael mell was canonically gay

MORGANA'S POISONING

Merlin Secrets and Magic Ep. 12 The Dragon’s Den

Colin Morgan: You see Morgana become so impassioned and ehm, so against Uther that it’s actually becoming quite dangerous and very worrying.

Katie Mcgrath: She becomes a vessel for a spell that is cast over all of Camelot.

(scene shows Kilgharrah saying. “The source of this pestilence is The Witch, the Lady Morgana”)

Colin Morgan: He is put into a position where he has to make a decision which is …very out of character.

(scene shows Merlin offering Morgana the poisoned water bag)

Colin Morgan: He has to uhm, literally poison a friend, you know, kill a friend, ehm, but for the greater good. It’s… (Smiles) It’s not an easy decision.

Katie Mcgrath: He can either save Camelot or let me live. So in order to save Camelot and Arthur and the Once and Future King, he has to kill Morgana.

Johnny Caps: Does he poison somebody that he, in a way, cares about but is suspicious of or does he let her live and therefore let the rest of Camelot die? Either decision is really difficult for Merlin.

Katie Mcgrath: He kills her because he believes he had to and he kills her because Morgana’s magic has taken her somewhere that his magic never would and Merlin and Morgana can’t be friends because of that. They started all from the same place but they’ve gone completely opposite directions and their friendship isn’t going to come back from that.

Johnny Caps: And we liked that because, you know, let’s push Merlin into uh, making a very very difficult decision and it is an awful decision that he has to make but there is hope there for Morgana because Morgause takes her away and there absolutely a sense that Morgause will save Morgana. And that creates for us a delicious dilemma because when Merlin gets to meet Morgana again, what would her attitude be towards Merlin, what would her attitude be towards Camelot, and what has Morgause been telling her?

Colin Morgan: It was important to get that right and uhm Jeremy Webb and director was great because he uh completely pushed us and spent the time on it.

Katie Mcgrath: I hope I never have to do it again. It was horrible. I made Colin cry, well I made Merlin cry but it’s the same thing.

worlds nico and what would be poppy’s first Mother’s Day are just two queens coming together to maximize their joint slay (inspiration)

I always forget mother’s day in the uk is different to the rest of the world so I didn’t plan for this lmao!!!! but I have a very firm idea of how she spends her first mother’s day!!

I think she probably wouldn’t go out to europe until the end of worlds like when she was pregnant, so her and nico aren’t together - but he arranges a lot of gifts and surprises for her!!

there’s some scenes in the next chapter where he colludes with nia to arrange something for poppy so he’d do the same!!

she’ll start off facetiming him in the morning, and cos it’s an off day for him he’s there for cheeto’s whole morning routine, gets to watch her eat her breakfast and hear her keep babbling “dada” bc babies are sneaky and will just say dada for ages lmao

and then nia will arrive with a coffee for poppy so she can watch cheeto while poppy has a shower and stuff and then while she’s showering nia brings in a load of flowers and decorates the apartment to surprise her!!

and they all have a girls day together!! wearing matching or colour co-ordinated outfits and take cheeto to brunch and go shopping at the farmers market or smth or like picnic in the park bc of course the sun is shining on poppy’s first mother’s day!!

and then they’ll all go round to poppy’s parents and celebrate with her mum too!!

and as much as she probably wishes nico was there or she was with him she doesn’t feel like she’s missing out cos he calls and checks in throughout the day and when she gets home and cheeto is all tucked in, he calls bc he stayed up late for her and has hidden a gift somewhere!!

and it’s probably a locket with cheeto in or something with her birthstone to go with poppy’s birthstone bracelet bc he’s sentimental like that!!

and when she finally meets him back in europe he picks her up from the airport with even more flowers and they have another celebration in person bc he feels bad for missing it bless him
