...I'm not even a little bit sorry, tbh 😂 (As always, check the tags before reading!)

[tales-from-drama-school]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING WEEKS TO POST THIS

But punko made us promise not to spoil, so I didn't

I present to you...the keys family portrait!!! More content under the cut <3

I know ex libris wouldn't have anything like this but it's kind of fun to imagine if they did. Like look at them

They're sitting on bookmarks

Back: Ambrose, Bronze, Cerulean, Goldie, Nox, Garnet, Sparaxis

Front: Platinum, Ivy, Silver, Violet, Greywen

(from left to right btw)

My story roles are roughly based on Carl Jung's theory of the 12 story archetypes. I know I'm going to have to redraw this at some point when we meet the rest of the keys bc Punko will do it differently but that's a later me problem

Of course we have our faves, Goldie, Bronze and Silver. Who are the Hero, helper and heroine respectively

In the archetypes, Hero is self explanatory, but Helper is equivalent to the 'caregiver' role, and the 'Heroine' is just an aspect of the hero. But I think the 'Heroine' role could replace the 'everyman' role. So there's that.

NOX AND VIOLET EVERYBODY!!!!!

I actually think Nox suits him so well, although I still think of him as Buddy most of the time

The 'villain' and 'villainess' don't really exist in the archetypes, although there is a role called the 'outlaw', which I expect would kind of be an antagonist. But because of what we know of them so far, Nox (Buddy) replaces the 'explorer'. Not that this is very important

Sorry the picture turned out so big!!! This is Cerulean. I invented him for my fic Darcy Forenski and the Summer She Was a Wizard and he's the mentor key, which is the 'sage' role. They're the same thing. It's why he has a beard :D

This is Garnet, the ruler key. We've seen an arm of a red key in the episode 'dreams by day', so I just drew the rest of him lol

This is Sparaxis, the trickster key. In Cinderella boy, there's a 'thief' key that's mentioned, and in the 12 story roles there's a 'jester' key. Because Buddy (Nox) was the black colour I kind of ran out of ideas to make them look more like a thief, so I just made them a trickster with a jester hat.

Also the name sparaxis comes from an orange-coloured flower

This is Greywen, the creator/inventor key. What role does this allow you to access? Mad scientist. Artists. People that set the plot in motion. (she kind of ended up looking a little bit like prunella. Oops)

This is Ivy, the magician key. I did not draw her very well. But we also saw her in 'Dreams by day' in Silver's dream, and I thought the wings fit well with the magic idea.

This is Ambrose, the lover key. I know, I know! Its been said that there is no 'love interest' key, but that doesn't mean there can't be a 'lover' key. I mean, I guess he could be the thief key but that would just make him Hermes

Like, the literal greek god

anyway

Last, but certainly not least, we have Platinum. The innocent/the shadow.

This role is kind of hard to explain because in the 12 roles theory there's a role called the 'innocent', which is like the doomed innocent. The things that are good in the world. But there are a lot of roles that don't quite fit if you put all 12 keys in a story, and also because the keys are people I don't think she would be this perfect little girl all the time, even though she might look it. That's why I called her the shadow. I think this one is the least likely to be part of canon but it's what made the most sense to me

Anyway have some extra drawings of cerulean because he's my boy and I love him

Quotes from the novelisation

So the Target novelisation is out! Highly recommend it, an extremely good time that somehow gives us a ton of backstory on Rogue while also still leaving things very open for fic.

A selection of quotes I highlighted on my way through:

The Doctor being horrendously into Rogue

The Doctor was now walking in the gardens with Rogue beside him, his new favourite brooding stranger.

He looked back at Rogue, walking, brooding (of course), and had to remind himself that this was an interrogation, not a date.

Sure, the Doctor couldn’t deny, Rogue was incredibly handsome.

The Doctor was suddenly very conscious that their hands were almost touching.

Rogue grabbed the Doctor’s arm and moved him with ease to the middle of the small metal pieces. ‘Stand there.’ The bounty hunter’s strong, the Doctor thought. Confirmed.

The Doctor could already feel people starting to turn and whisper but his focus wasn’t on that. All he was thinking about was Rogue. Rogue’s hand on his shoulder, his chest. Rogue’s eyes locked with his as the pair of them turned and twirled across the floor.

More below the cut: some of these get very spoilery including for the very end of the book, so don't click if you don't want to know.

Rogue being horrendously into the Doctor

His gorgeous brown eyes beamed up at Rogue from the middle of the crowd. For the first time in a long time, Rogue felt that jolt of electricity when you meet that person. That next person who might be the one to change your life.

the main thing that impressed him was how stylish it all was. How well placed and how welcoming. Rogue had only known the Doctor for one night, but it was clear this ship was perfectly made for the person who travelled in it.

‘I know.’ Rogue smiled at the kind, brilliant, amazing man in front of him.

Rogue felt another jolt of that electricity as their arms almost touched.

He wondered how long he would have with this new and wonderful stranger, and then also why he was troubling himself with the thought at all.

He’d not been asking the Doctor for marriage, but for some simple commitment. A sign he should stay longer than this one adventure. To see those worlds he’d promised. At least for a little while. Now he couldn’t stop wondering how much of their connection was real and how much had been for show.

Socially anxious king

It was then that Rogue emotionally left his body and started panicking a good 50 feet above the scene playing out below.

‘So, have you known the Duchess long?’ It was here that Rogue hoped the Doctor was his bounty because his small talk game was not his best quality.

Usually, the imaginary conversations Rogue had with [Art] were when he was alone in the ship but in moments of crisis sometimes, he would imagine him, a life raft in a sea of social interaction nightmares.

‘Can’t I storm off alone?’ said Rogue. ‘I would rather not talk in front of this many people.’

I had to stop and compose myself for a minute

‘Don’t blame me! De Lacaille chose them! Great astronomer, bad with names.’ Then he smiled cheekily. ‘But if it’s romance you’re after? He also named those stars there the pump, the chisel and Norma.’ Okay, he was flirting now. Ruby would be furious with him if this silly side quest was what got him killed.

‘Not what I’m after,’ replied Rogue, his tone back to matter-of-fact but his face blushing a little.

["the pump"]

**

Rogue had met many dreamers and magicians in his travels. It was surprising how many had bounties on their heads; he immediately recalled quite a complicated winter with Houdini.

[...WHAT. Was this the winter after the Doctor's long hot summer?? What a year Houdini had.]

**

On the banks of the pond, the pair of them dragged themselves out. Rogue’s shirt was stuck to his body; the Doctor’s was the same. They were both drenched through. They looked at each other and laughed. ‘Okay, Ruby was right, this is a bit Mr Darcy.’

[I know the odds of this having been filmed are almost zero, nobody's letting Jonathan risk his voice jumping into a pond in Britain at night in May, but #releasetheherroncut]

**

[Rogue imagines a letter in which his dead love Art gives a potential new relationship his blessing] Please give him a hug from me and do not name a child or dog in my memory when you move in together. A cactus is fine, though. [Almost put this in 'Rogue is horrendously into him' but the 'WHEN you move in together' had me putting the book down for a second. Also that Rogue is contemplating what they should or should not name their future dog OR CHILD.]

Just pure romance

[on seeing the ship] Oh, Rogue, he thought. What happened, love?

**

Rogue just stared in awe, taking in the Doctor, all of them. ‘You’re beautiful,’ he said.

**

Rogue slowly opened his arms, and the Doctor fell into them and sobbed. ‘I’m sorry,’ Rogue said over and over.

**

Rogue looked into the Doctor’s eyes and knew that he would never stop caring. Could never stop wanting to help, to fight, to go on. That was who he was. The Doctor let go of Rogue’s hand and climbed in through the window, and Rogue did what he knew he would do for ever.

Follow him.

**

Then he stepped forward and wrapped the Doctor in his arms and kissed him. It was a soft, passionate kiss, full of promise. The moment was tender. Romantic. It was theirs.

**

As he fell, his mind had one, clear thought. Worth every second.

**

The Doctor just kept smiling, keeping his eyes on the sky. ‘At least we got to live and love together a bit. Exist.’

**

Of all the timelines they could both have inhabited, Rogue was grateful that their eyes had met on this one. What a great surprise that had been from the universe. Yes, right now, he was lonely, but time wasn’t linear, and this was his favourite thing about it. Rogue was sitting in this cave, but he was also walking with the Doctor in the garden, he was laughing with Art in the Yossarian, he was falling from a building, he was running from one memory of his life to another. All at once.

Rogue was in the Doctor’s arms, spinning around and around, for ever.

[something-nunholy]

Realised I've never actually made a post stating any of this, but these are the planets I think the Trix are from:

Icy: Icy is from Dyamond which is in the Dragon's Realm. It is a sister planet to Domino, but where Domino is lush and verdant from the remnant power of the Great Dragon, Dyamond has always been cold and charged with negative energy because it was the first to feel the impact of the void of positive energy left after the Dragon's slumber. The surge of negative energy meant that Belladonna was the first ever witch, as the hatred and suffering she experienced when the Dragon's Fire no longer kept her people warm vibrated at the same frequency as the negative energy in the atmosphere. Dyamond is located further out from the central sun of the Dragon's Realm to Domino, so where Domino is always warm from the sun, Dyamond is always cold. It is a wealthy planet and shockingly fertile, despite its constant frost - its main export is gemstones. Like Domino, it holds onto its traditions but keeps up with modern developments. Dyamond does have its own language but very few speak it - Common became the dominant language of Dyamond 250 years before Icy's birth. The Royal Family of Dyamond has always been stable and can trace their lineage directly back to Belladonna, who always bestows her power onto one of the Royal Daughters. Their patron god is Belladonna of the Ancestral Coven. I'm still figuring out a lot about Dyamond and how, exactly, it falls.

Darcy: Darcy is from a small moon in the Solarian System. Whilst Solaria is known for its three suns that cast the planet in almost eternal day (they receive two hours of nighttime at the most, and yes, the suns orbit Solaria), the Solarian system beyond the planet proper comprises of two dwarf planets and many moons (hence why Stella can say with confidence that she is the fairy of the Sun AND Moon). The most notable of these moons is Noxus, which is located furthest out from Solaria. It is notable because it appears to be suspended in perpetual night. Noxus is the inverse of Solaria: Noxus' day lands for as long as Solaria's night; Solaria is populated mostly by light magicians whilst Noxus' Court of Night accepts anybody with a dark aura; Solaria values virtue and moralist whilst Noxus cares for nothing but power. It is here that Liliss - the second ever witch - came to control the shadows. It is a cutthroat Court where sister would kill sister just for a slightly shinier pot to piss in. The Royal Family, whilst always a descendant of Liliss (if not by blood then by marrying somebody with even the remotest trace of godly blood in them), is not as set in stone as in Dyamond and there is no respect for authority or tradition. Power is all. Liliss is the only Ancestral Witch with the power of prophecy and she uses it to predict who the most suited for her power will be (this is a power she also uses for Belladonna and Tharma, only one of which actually listens - guess who; it is also this power which allows the Ancestors to foresee their own fall and store their whole power in newer vessels - Icy, Darcy and Stormy - Tharma did not listen, again, and so Stormy was born a year later when Tharma was certain of the signs - Tharma's star also aligns with Belladonna and Liliss' a year after the first two align) and she does not discriminate based on blood preference because whomever she chooses is immediately elevated into the heir apparent status and their family becomes ruling elite. She loves the drama. The most daring choice she preferred was a young warlock from the poor district in 11927 ADS. Noxus had become complacent and favouring a male was unheard of because they struggle to control the entire weight of positive or negative energy (there are notable biological differences in witches and fairies that allow them to handle this - this is all to do with the Great Dragon but in summary fairies have hollow bones and wings that grow beneath the skin (like teeth in gums) whilst witches' brains form differently and their blood/bone marrow/nerves behave differently -- sorcerers tend to only have differently formed brains and nerve changes but it is rare that they can hold power themselves, hence they common use of a staff, wand or incantation). The only thing problematic about Darcy was the timing of her birth, at the collapse of the Witches' dominance. Her parents were overthrown and she became a common puppet child queen (think Snow White in Mirror Mirror). The Winx Universe's version of Machiavelli's The Prince was written on Noxus for Princess Darcy. They are, being in the Solarian System, a VERY modern planet - the ancient hissing tongue of Noxus was unpopular only half a millenia after Liliss' ascension and they speak Common. Noxian is essentially a dead language. Noxus' main trade is in intelligence and political advice, although they say there is no charlatan more esteemed and less trustworthy than a Noxian goodsman. They import most of their foodstuff from Solaria, who is legally bound by a diplomatic treaty from 11312 ADS to ensure that Noxus does not go hungry, as the land is not very fertile but they do farm livestock. Their patron goddess is Lilith of the Ancestral Coven. Noxus is the only planet that is still active and as it has always been in the current Winx timeline (although Darcy is not especially fond).

Stormy: Stormy is from the other side of Andros in, you guessed it, the Andrean System. Andros is the only planet in the system with any landmass - the rest are entirely submerged and populated only by mermaids. The planet of Andros has always been split into two, both geographically and in terms of conflict. One one side of the planet is the larger landmass - Aisha/Layla's Andros - and on the other side is referred to as the Black Seas where there is a series of rocky islands, which is Tharma and Stormy's Andros. On these islands there has historically been settlements of Tribes of Weather Witches, the most powerful and influential being the original tribe of Tharma. Andros was, before Tharma's ascension as the third original witch, an inhospitable and infertile land. There were only seas from which they could fish and fishing inevitably brought on the ire of the merpeople, so they had to fight and fish to survive. Tharma's development of weather magic made the land more fertile and, as a consequence, Weather Witches developed very strong connections with early farmers, a symbiotic relationship that continued up until the massacre of Weather Witches in 12010 ADS. This is why the farmers developed the Rain Dance that Aisha/Layla learned and why it is so effective against Stormy (although there is also the traditional Dance of the Rain Bringers but Stormy is the last person alive to know how to perform it and doesn't really understand what it is for except that it is a tradition). There is almost always a storm over the Black Seas, but when the clouds open up the sun is hot as can be (Stormy's skin, whilst still very pale, has a permanent tan from the weather and also... her freckles :D). The witches are mostly farmers and live relatively quiet lives except for the constant civil wars of Andros. There has always been some kind of skirmish, if not between the Witches and the Merpeople, then the Merpeople and the Mainlanders, or the Witches and the Mainlanders, or all three at once. It is a very unsafe planet. It is the most traditional realm of any of the main six realms in the Magical Dimension. They still speak Andrean (like the Mermaid in 3x01), with dialects differing between the rural Andreans on the Black Seas, the High Andreans of the upper classes, Mermaid Andrean and Mainland Andrean. The difference is usually in more technical terms and the etymological roots of regions. Aisha and Stormy are bilingual queens <3. The Mainland (other side) has always been given preference over the Weather Witches in every sense and their regency is recognised diplomatically as the rulers of the island (this caused one of the wars). They try to modernise a little for diplomatic purposes, but all the marks of modernity are badges of wealth. Education on the mainland is exclusively for the upper echelons so speaking Common is considered a sign of good breeding. The Weather Witches have a 'seek and you shall find' policy on education - if you want to speak common, just ask! However, very few do (mostly those who are going off world, whether to study at Cloud Tower or to engage in the Ancestral Witches' sacred war). There is a very regimented class system in the Andrean Mainland. The acknowledged patron god of Andros is the Great Dragon although the Weather Witches and Merpeople have seperate gods (the Black Seas patron is Tharma of the Ancestral Coven).

i think Darcy would be a magician doing death defying acts— they cant die, so why would any of the assistants they hire? Theyre just being lazy, nobody wants to work these days.

the general (everyone calls swap au will the general may as well follow suit), with his past in the military, is able to avoid Darcy’s affectionate attempts on his life. When not regularly avoiding death or humoring Darcy’s strange new fixation, he’s on the hunt for Mark. He took his friends from him.

So tbh I've always liked fnaf and I've always liked the concept of robot mascots having lore. I may not know the whole lore of fnaf but one I do hate about it is that they lowkey do have potential but messes it up time to time. So hey? Why not do my own fnaf lore, okay lore dump time!

(This is the vibe I wanted to give, this series is HEAVILY inspired by FNAF: Security Breach and Sister Location)

LIESELOTTE: CIRCUS ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX is an entertainment complex owned by CircusTechies company. They're the number one children's entertainment company, expanding their creativity and their knowledge for AI (a.k.a CyberClowns as they're called) as they have rebranded again and again over the years. They're also a highly independent company leaving the CyberClowns to work on their own as LCEC has very little human staff members but a lot of CyberClowns.

The main mascot is Lottie the Ringmaster accompanied with the other mascot performers.

The Arieal Artist; Bertha the bird and Gary the Elephant. The contortion; Octavia the Ostrich. The Tightrope Walkers; Clownerina the Doll and Mony the Monkey. The Conjoined Twins/Jugglers; Haze the Hare and Bunz the Bunny. The clowns; Giggle Dimples, Snoots Flops and Alfred Waldo. Then, the Stunt Perfomers; Poly, Pauline, Persephone and Percival.

Then there are the special's, The Freakshow Band; Beau the Butterfly, Sage the Spider, Sloane the Squirrel and Reese the Rat.

Clownpierce Restaurant and meet; Pablo the Pig, Calvin the Cow, Harper the Horse, Darcy the Deer and Clownpierce waitress bot.

There's also a daycare: Globy's Friends and Adventure Daycare meeting; Globy Globe, Rocko Rock, Starry Star, Clamy Clam, Kat Cat, Charles Clock, Candy Gumball, Manny Mannequin, Merchant Boar, Mia Microphone and Icille the Ice Queen. (Based off a show that the company revived)

Then don't forget about the side CyberClowns; Gretchen the Fortune Teller, Mark the Magician with his partner Butterscotch, Poligon, Axi the Axolotl and Penny the Penguin.

So that's all the characters I've made so far, if you do want more lore of them I'd be happy to give them some characterization and a story to tell. Who knows?

✨ The Winx Tarot ✨

I am currently designing a Rider-Waite tarot inspired by all the Winx club seasons (including S8 which I need to finish). I got the idea of making this tarot while rewatching S2 because the codex is in four parts, each associated with a keeper and a school/village, which fit perfectly with the four tarot suits

The Winx Tarot is made up of the 78 traditional cards and probably some additional ones knowing myself (edit: I was right, we have additional ones), I also plan on making a booklet, a box pattern and a tarot cloth (my goal is to be able to print my tarot and actually use it)

You will find some additional info and the full list of cards under the cut, I will add links to their WIP and final versions as I draw them :3

🦋 The Major Arcanas 🦋

They are based on major characters which fit the vibe of the card. They don't match a specific part of the codex but, like the codex, they represent power so their frame contains the codex itself

0 - The Fool: Kiko WIP I - The Magician: Musa II - The High Priestess: Daphne WIP III - The Empress: Queen Marion IV - The Emperor: King Oritel V - The Hierophant: King Erendor VI - The Lovers: Mike & Vanessa Peters WIP VII - The Chariot: Layla/Aisha VIII - Strength: Flora IX - The Hermit: Bloom X - The Wheel of Fortune: Darcy WIP XI - Justice: Icy XII - The Hanged Man: Tecna WIP XIII - Death: Lord Darkar WIP XIV - Temperance: Maia XV - The Devill: Diaspro XVI - The Tower: Stormy XVII - The Star: Stella XVIII - The Moon: Queen Luna XIX - The Sun: King Radius XX - Judgement: Nabu XXI - The World: The Galaxy

🏆 The Suit of Cups 🏆

It is based on Alfea and thus contains almost only Fairy teachers and students

Ace - Alfea II - ??? III - ??? IV - ??? V - Amaryl VI - ??? VII - ??? VIII - Princess Galathea IX - ??? X - Roxy Page - Concorda Knight - Griselda Queen - Faragonda King - Wizgiz

⭐ The Suit of Pentacles ⭐

It is based on Red Fountain and thus contains almost only Specialist teachers and students

Ace - Red Fountain II - ??? III - Brandon IV - Riven V - ??? VI - Timmy VII - Helia VIII - Sky IX - Thoren X - ??? Page - Athena Knight - Codatorta Queen - ??? King - Saladin

🗡️ The Suit of Swords 🗡️

It is based on Cloud Tower and thus contains almost only Witch teachers and students

Ace - Cloud Tower II - ??? III - ??? IV - ??? V - Lucy VI - Mirta VII - Selina VIII - ??? IX - ??? X - ??? Page - Discorda Knight - Zarathustra & Ediltrude Queen - Griffin King - Valtor

🪄 The Suit of Wands 🪄

It is based on Pixie Village and thus contains almost only pixies

Ace - Pixie Village II - Tune III - Chatta IV - Amore V - ??? VI - ??? VII - ??? VIII - Livy IX - Digit X - Piff Page - Ninfea Knight - Zing Queen - Lockette King - Jolly

🃏 Additional Cards 🃏

These are cards I thought important and really wanted to make

Dark Magic - The Ancestral Witches / The Trix Light Magic - The Company of Light / The Winx

??? means I don't know yet, feel free to give me ideas

There’s a (admittedly unverified) rumor that Orlando said the variant witch girl with the pink hair/purple outfit would be showing up in SW 6. But now we know she’s going to be on a team with the other new champions characters (and Justin Jin). Do you have any thoughts on this? I’m a little overwhelmed. I like the design enough but it seems like there’s so many young superheroes and especially magicians they’re all getting the short end of the stick rn

Before I get too far ahead of myself, I can confirm that Orlando teased that the character in question (pictured below) would appear in an upcoming issue of Scarlet Witch. It was on twitter, and I don't have the post saved-- it may have been deleted-- so you'll just have to take my word for it, but I definitely saw it.

I don't mind these characters being adapted into canon, but I definitely find them redundant and uninteresting. It is absolutely frustrating to see new characters come and go every few years, especially when these younger casts are where Marvel allots most of its token inclusivity. It's hard not to roll your eyes whenever a new crop of kids rolls in, while characters we met five or ten years ago are still waiting for their time in the sun.

For anyone who's not sure what we're talking about, last year, Marvel put out a collection of "New Champions" variant covers that were based loosely on the new Spider-Boy character. The idea was that artists would design hypothetical sidekicks or successors for existing heroes. These characters were not, initially, meant to be included in canon, however, several of them were introduced in the current Spider-Woman series as part of a team called the Alliance. It was later revealed that the kids were victims of HYDRA scientists who had given them artificial powers and false memories-- their hokey junior-Avenger personas, therefore, were illusions belying a much darker origin story. I thought that it was a clever way to justify the intentionally cartoonish, reductive character concepts while actually giving them depth and pathos.

This week at SDCC, Marvel presented promotional art teasing an upcoming story involving even more of these "New Champions" alongside the Alliance members and a few other recent characters like Kid Juggernaut. I expect that many of these characters will introduced individually over the next few months-- the blue-themed Ghost Rider in the center will be featured in October's Robbie Reyes special, and the pink-haired girl in the top left will allegedly appear in an upcoming issue of Scarlet Witch. If they stick to Spider-Woman's playbook and give the cast a believable reason for their copycat powers and getups, then I can buy into it.

Junior legacy characters are a harder sell than I think most people realize. Marvel's done it a few times, but most of these titles, like Young Avengers or Children of the Atom, subvert the premise by revealing that the kids aren't what they initially seem. Champions played it straigt, but it worked because it had a strong core cast of pre-existing characters. These "New Champions" need to change it up, or else they'll feel exactly like the cheap imitation they always have been.

As for Wanda-- I'm not really interested in giving her a new protogee when she's got two kids of her own, a young niece, Darcy, Holly, and a whole school full of students to pick from.

@infernal-feminae asked: ❛ the mission will be completed tonight. ❜ - Agent Two

"Impeccable work as usual, Darcy." The television demon doesn't need to look up at the monitors in his office to see the slow trickle of sensitive information from the realm of the living pooling into the Voxtek database. The old fashioned ways for would-be black magicians to get in touch with demonkind were about to be made obsolete by mass marketing campaigns, one-click contracts signing away still-breathing souls to Voxtek en masse in exchange for mobile phone applications people would download to mindlessly occupy them during office work, websites promising hot demon chicks near you populated by entirely by bots, and the fleeting financial investments that didn't even bother hiding that they were nothing but gimmicks. And all that access was thanks to the media overlord's latest employee.

Maybe it was gratitude that prompted him to follow this up, as he leans back in his chair, crossing one leg over the other as he looks down nonchalantly at the videocall on their phone. But the prevailing desire was to show off his novelty, that fancy new pet that few overlords could say they get to bring around while still fresh. "Tell you what - once this is done, fire up that portal and you can enjoy a nice bonus. A tour of the Pentagram, courtesy of yours truly."

He flashes that huge grin at her that always takes up most of his face. He already knows she'll leap at it, he's just looking for the amusement of seeing if she can hold back her excitement.

Very happy to see you back. The conclusion to death's favourite was so good!

My favourite fic of yours is the one where Jason stays with the league and adops Jane and Darcy. I have a question, though. When Jason contacts Zatanna to help deage Darcy to his proper age, would he also have her hit Jane with a genderswap spell? While Jason would be 100% supportive if Jane took E, I think he would hate seeing his daughter using needles constantly, as it would cause him to relive his trauma with his mom, and Zatanna is right there. She could help Jane feel right immediately, you know? As a trans person, I'd say that I genuinely hated having to take my shots, and if there was a way to avoid that, then I would take it, and what better than a magician?

Can't wait to see what you do with this fic and all the rest!

That's actually a great idea! I haven't thought about it! I'll include that in the next chapter! Thanks for the idea <3 Now that you've talked about it, I have the same thoughts, Jason wouldn't like the idea of his kids having to be near needles so constantly! So Zatanna would be a good way to avoid that and have an immediate effect as well!

The Grimoire of Grave Fates by Hanna Alkaf & Margaret Owen

Crack open your spell book and enter the world of the illustrious Galileo Academy for the Extraordinary. There's been a murder on campus, and it's up to the students of Galileo to solve it. Follow 18 authors and 18 students as they puzzle out the clues and find the guilty party.

Professor of Magical History Septimius Dropwort has just been murdered, and now everyone at the Galileo Academy for the Extraordinary is a suspect.

A prestigious school for young magicians, the Galileo Academy has recently undergone a comprehensive overhaul, reinventing itself as a roaming academy in which students of all cultures and identities are celebrated. In this new Galileo, every pupil is welcome—but there are some who aren't so happy with the recent changes. That includes everyone's least favorite professor, Septimius Dropwort, a stodgy old man known for his harsh rules and harsher punishments. But when the professor's body is discovered on school grounds with a mysterious note clenched in his lifeless hand, the Academy's students must solve the murder themselves, because everyone's a suspect.

Eng: I would like to tell you a little about Valtor in my fanfiction.

Do you remember the end of the third season? How stupidly did Valtor win? I love and adore this villain and often resented that he was so stupidly leaked.

So I came up with my own version of fighting him and how he was defeated!

I called the war with him the "Fiery Month". Although the war lasted 1.5 years)

After being released from Omega, he almost killed Trix, as they strongly resembled his mothers... But he decided to use the witches for his own purposes.

He was motivated by hatred. Hatred of their mothers, creators. Self-loathing that he can't disconnect from them, do what he wants, not them.

In this state, he destroyed many planets and kingdoms. Some were able to recover, but... Unfortunately, many people died.

Alphea, the Red Fountain, the Cloud Tower fell under his power. Winx, the specialists and their allies created a resistance unit, where the best of the best were. But few people had any hope, especially Bloom.

At some point, the Trix escaped from Valtor, not wanting to die by his hand in another fit of anger, where he communicates with his creators. (They often talked to him, humiliated him, and the like).

Only Icy and Stormy continued their atrocities, but Darcy... She decided to help. I decided to tell you at what point it would be better to grab the magician and win.

The great blacksmith Hagen created special shackles that close the magic inside the wearer, preventing him from casting spells.

The resistance squad managed it. Bloom was the one who shackled Valtor, and then the nearest warriors knocked out the magician, since he was conscious and could still hurt someone.

Princess Bloom (the current queen of Domino and Eraklion), wanted to kill the magician, but could not. Not because she was afraid to kill someone, but because Valtor is immortal. He is recovering quickly. Even if you cut off his head, he will survive. It will recover.

Valtor was placed in the most guarded prison on the planet. To the Punishment Cell. There, the prisoners are in a small room all the time. They are being watched by five or six of the best warriors, who, if anything, will be able to stop the rebels. The prisoners are monitored 24/7, and no one will ever be able to escape from there.

At the moment, Valtor, almost thirty years in prison, is going crazy because of the voices of mothers. They hate him, they say that they should have killed him, not created a Dragon out of Fire. It was necessary to take his life while it could still be done.

What will happen next? Something interesting, because Valtor is not alone in the Punishment Cell... He has an older half-brother who has been there much longer than the younger one...

The older half-brother is the native child of Belladonna (the witch of the dark cold, sort of). His name is Albert and he is... Much crazier than the youngest, but, unlike him, does not suffer from the voices of his mother and "dear" aunts.

I hope you enjoyed a little digression into this story ^^

Русский: Хотела бы немного рассказать о Валтора в своём фанфике.

Помните окончание третьего сезона? Как глупо победили Валтора? Я люблю, обожаю этого злодея и часто негодовала, что его так глупо слили.

Поэтому я придумала свою версию борьбы с ним и как его победили!

Войну с ним я назвала "Огненный месяц". Хотя длилась война 1,5 года)

После освобождения из Омеги, он чуть не убил Трикс, так как те сильно напоминали его матерей... Но он решил использовать ведьм в своих целях.

Им двигала ненависть. Ненависть к своим матерям, создательницам. Ненависть к самому себе, что он не может отсоединиться от них, делать то, что он сам хочет, а не они.

В таком состоянии он уничтожил множество планет и королевст. Какие-то смогли восстановиться, но... К сожалению, множество людей погибло.

Алфея, Красный Фонтан, Облачная башня пали под его силой. Винкс, специалисты и их союзники создали отряд сопротивления, где были лучшие из лучших. Но надежды мало у кого оставалось, особенно у Блум.

В какой-то момент Трикс сбежали от Валтора, не желая умереть от его руки в очередном приступе гнева, где он общается со своими создательницами. (Они часто с ним говорили, унижали и тому подобное).

Только вот Айси и Сторми продолжили свои злодеяния, но Дарси... Она решила помочь. Решила рассказать, в какой момент будет лучше схватить мага и победить.

Великий кузнец Хаген создал специальные кандалы, которые закрывают магию внутри носителя, не давая ему колдовать.

Отряд сопротивления справился. Блум была той, кто сковал в кандалы Валтора, а после ближайшие воины вырубили мага, так как он был в сознании и до сих пор мог кому-нибудь навредить.

Принцесса Блум (нынешняя королева Домино и Эраклиона), хотела убить мага, но не смогла. Не потому, что она боялась убить кого-то, а потому что Валтор бессмертен. Он быстро восстанавливается. Даже если отрубить ему голову, он выживет. Восстановится.

Валтора поместили в самую охраняемую тюрьму-планету. В Карцер. Там заключённые находятся в маленькой комнате всё своё время. За ними следят по пять-шесть лучших воинов, которые, в случае чего, смогут остановить бунтовщиков. За заключёнными следят 24/7, от туда никто и никогда не сможет сбежать.

В данный момент, Валтор, почти тридцать лет заключения, сходит с ума из-за голосов матерей. Они ненавидят его, говорят, что надо было убить его, не создавать из Огня Дракона. Надо было лишить его жизни, пока это ещё можно было сделать.

Что будет дальше? Кое-что интересное, ведь Валтор заключён в Карцере не один... У него есть старший сводный брат, который сидит там куда дольше младшего...

Старший сводный брат является родным ребёнком Белладонны (ведьма тёмного холода, вроде). Его зовут Альберт и он... Куда безумнее младшего, но, в отличае от него, не страдает от голосов матери и "дорогих" тётушек.

Надеюсь, вам понравился небольшой экскурс в данную историю ^^
