The Handee Nutcracker Part 4: The Nutcracker Prince

A nutcracker cannot be completed without the actual nutcracker, so here is Prince Nicholas Nack!

He is the ruler of the land of toys (I swear I need to find ways to name the lands without sound corny)

Aaaaand a side comparison to the whole gang!

He's probably one of my favorite clothes and is up to being my favorite next to Daisy XD Anyways, the guidelines (the ones I used for proportions) I left them on purpose to give more into the nutcracker look for Nick

I actually wanted to give him a cape, you know, to add into the prince aspect but I forgot and just realized it until I finished the design. Let's say that he doesn't wear it during adventures for safety and because his cape is precious

He actually has a sword that I did not draw but, is hidden due to his arms. It's probably just for show (as he was the nutcracker puppet Owen made), so he has a separate sword that he carries but can't exactly store thanks to Owen

Of course he has an army of nutcrackers and tin soldiers! Regarding his relationship with the other rulers, they get along pretty well. Sometimes Nick can be slightly snobbish because he's Nick, but he is well-meaning

Regarding his relationship with Riles, I do think they will become friends at the end of the adventure, with Nick totally loving her more like a friend (like in their cannon counterparts) but understanding and respecting Riley having her own life and family on her world (he is glad to have her as a friend tho)

In the world that Owen and Amy (my oc) created, he was meant to be the rival and arch-nemesis of the Mouse King. That still translates but leaning towards the comedy and staying truth to Nick, he is a tad terrified of Mortimer, who dislikes him and rather ignores Nick. So, Nick wasn't more than thrilled when Riley asked him to make a truce with the Mouse King himself (who was also not pleased with the idea) but after Daisy intervened, he and Mortimer eventually agreed. They still hate each other but are willing to behave for their mutual friend

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

i've figured out the hack to writing is to write badly so that you can eventually write good when you go back to edit. unfortunately that means that i'm going to have to go back and edit. sisyphus rolling that damn boulder up the hill emoji.

regina spektor is a violent zionist, but i don't think it's constructive or honest at all for people to be like "well her art was always bad anyway." some terrible people have made great art. This idea that artists with unsavory morals can't make good art (1) only feeds into some people's mindset that if they dislike something, that MUST mean there is something ideologically wrong with it, and (2) some people then take longer to realize the true colors of their favorite artists because... good artists can't be ethically bad right?? and so they hang on to their faves and pretend they are so righteous and defend their every move when sometimes. sometimes you just gotta accept that your favorite art was made by somebody you don't agree with, and you have to identify how much you are willing to support someone like that and what lines you have that can't be crossed
