THE GREEK GODS IN MY STYLE â ATHENA, APHRODITE :
The Goddess of Wisdom and the Goddess of Love are done! I love me my (olive and seafoam) green girlies. đ
More about their designs below!
So obviously, the shade of the most prominent color of their outfits correspond to something they're linked to.
Athena with olive green because of the olive tree she planted which earned her patronage over Athens, and Aphrodite with seafoam green because of her being born from seafoam (technically it was something else but we ain't getting into that today).
I actually really struggled with figuring out the colors for Athena. She was the first to give me trouble like that. But I knew I wanted her to be green from the get go. With the amount of mortals she's helped, I feel like she'd have a pretty strong earthly connection. Plus apparently green abstractly symbolizes wisdom, so there's also that!
It was my lovely partner who had suggested to make it so that the back of her helmet was basically the face of an owl, as a reference to owls turning their heads 270 degrees. It works really well too because it is said that one of the purposes of Athena's owl is to watch her blind spots so I think it's cool to incorporate that into her outfit.
Now for Aphrodite... I have quite a bit to say.
I gave her pointed ears to signify the unusual way in which she was born. She and Poseidon share this trait, alongside the both of them having green eyes. Idk, I think it's an interesting way to show their connection to the sea.
I love how, in many different fan depictions, her bed is a clam. Absolutely love that nod to her origins. I came into designing her with the idea that I wanted to somehow incorporate that clam into her design and I did so by making it so that her cloak and trail both form the shape of one.
The white roses are meant as a nod to the Greek myth of how red roses came to be, specifically the version where, while running to save her mortal lover Adonis, Aphrodite cuts herself and her blood ends up staining pure white roses.
Finally, one thing I really love doing when designing characters is making it so that there's a fair bit of asymmetry. Namely in the case of their outfits. That's something I've been trying to implement for all the gods. But in Aphrodite's case, I intentionally made it so that what she has on is relatively even, with her actually having two of each accessory on either side of her body. This is meant to be a nod to how she was often described to have been born "perfectly symmetrical".

PLEASE MAKE MY MEET CUTE DREAMS COME TRUE BUG!!
What IS my personality? Hm... Generally I'm pretty upbeat, fun-loving, and compassionate, but around Eddie?! đ I'd be a lil shy I'm not gonna lie haha
Hobbies include bird watching, thrifting trinkets, and graphic design (oh and writing FILTHY SEXUALLY EXPLICIT STORIES, can't forget that). No need to incorporate all of this, just giving you âšvarietyâš
My pronouns are she/her.
And I'll just leave you with some emojis I like đ
đȘ»đȘșđđȘżđđ«đ„šđïžđȘ
As meta as it would be to have Eddie reading the smut you wrote about him, bird watching was what caught my eye. Hope you like this!

It had stormed in Hawkins for a week straight. Seven days of dodging raindrops and spending your free time cooped up in the house. You were on the verge of going stir-crazy until the sun finally peeked out from behind the clouds this morning.Â
Plucking your binoculars from their spot on your shelf, you head out into the woods. Before the storms, a pileated woodpecker had made a nest in one of the trees, and you were anxious to see if it had survived the lousy weather.Â
Mud squelched beneath your boots as you trudged towards your favorite picnic bench. There wasnât anything special about it per se, but it stood out from the others because of the JH+JB carved into the table. Whoever JH and JB were, you hoped their love was still strong.Â
You adjusted the focus on your binoculars, aiming your gaze at the tree where youâd seen the nest just over a week ago. A soft sigh of relief slipped through your lips when you saw that it was still intact; in fact, there were now three little eggs inside of it.Â
Hours felt like mere minutes as you soaked up each moment outdoors, following the calls of the sparrows that populated the tiny forest. Hawkins wasnât a bustling city, but it was still nice to have a reprieve from the normal sounds of the suburbs. Out here, there were no car horns honking, no tired parents scolding their mischievous children, noâ
âYou here to buy or sell?â
The sudden noise startled you; if you didnât have the strap looped around your wrist, you almost certainly would have dropped your binoculars. That would have been embarrassing. Just like the yelp you let out when the man spoke.Â
âWhoa, didnât mean to scare you.â He gave a sheepish grin and held up his hands in surrender. âJust figured if you wanted to buy, I could offer you a sweet deal. But if youâre sellingâŠwell, youâre kinda in my spot, soâŠâ
You collected your thoughts, trying to keep from getting lost in his deep brown eyes. âNo. I mean, neither. N-Not buying or selling. Just, uh, birdwatching.â
He cocked a brow. âBirdwatching?â
âY-Yeah.â You scrambled for more words, unused to being tongue-tied. âYâknow, justâŠwatching birds.â
âI gathered that much.â He sat next to you, placing a tin lunchbox on the table. âSo what kind of birds are we watching?â
You explained the whole nest-surviving-the-storm saga, expecting him to roll his eyes or get bored. But he didnât. Instead, he looked at you with those beautiful doe eyes and gestured to your binoculars.Â
âMind if I take a look?â
You nodded and handed them over, hoping that the time he spent looking through them would afford you the chance to conjure up some actual conversation topics.Â
He peered through the binoculars. âI see the nest! Holy shit, thereâs about to be some bird babies.â He looked at another tree. âHere weâve got some sort of brown bird just kindaâŠdoing its thing.â Keeping the binoculars pressed to his eyes, he looked directly at you. âAnd here we have a really pretty girl whoâs gonna let me treat her to ice cream.â
âSure. Yeah, um, that would be great.â You felt your body tingle with bashfulness. An insanely cute guy was asking you out. âI love ice cream.â
The guy looked surprised, like he couldnât believe that line worked. âMe, too.â He stood and held out his hand to help you up.Â
You accepted it gratefully, but before you stood, you looked at him. âI just realized that I donât even know your name,â you mused.Â
He laughed. âThat would be good information, huh?â He shook his head at his own blunder.Â
âIâm Eddie Munson. And you are?â

BIKINI STRINGS
Hello friends, Iâm joining the @thatdammchickennugget and @finalgirllx âs Jinxed July challenge, because the prompts are so fun and I want to do so much more with it đ.
And thank you to my bestie that told me about this đđ€đđ
âż fluffy, suggestive, not for minors
âż Panville, because itâs my comfort, I hope itâs alright
âż The prompts: sunglasses, poolparty, âCan you handle the heat?â
âI canât believe you actually made me come here.â Pansy huffs while she takes her bags out of the taxi's trunk.
âOh, shut it Pandora. As if I could ever make you do something you didnât want to. And letâs not pretend I am the reason for you being here.â Draco says in his pompous tone, with a stupid knowing smirk on his face.
She just rolls her eyes but stays quiet. No. She is over that delusional obsession. Â
Since Draco and Hermione started working together in the ministry, and subsequently started dating each other, the two very different friend groups were not very willing to interact.
This âsummer holiday tripâ was supposed to change that apparently. Weâll see how that works.â
Draco invited everyone to one of his family's homes in the south of France. Prick. He knew how much she loved the region. Especially during the summer.
However, Pansy, being Pansy, complained a lot. She acted like she didnât want to go, but her best friend obviously knew better. Draco was the only one in school who knew about her teenage obsession. Neville.
She was young, surrounded by darkness and cruelty, and he was the complete opposite. At least it looked like that to her. At first, she hated him for it, along with every other stupidly brave Gryffindor. But observing him every day, in class, the Great Hall, the corridors, it became an obsession. Unhealthy. Especially since he never even spared her a glance.
After the war, everything changed. She built even bigger and stronger walls around herself, and stayed at home, away from the judging, prying eyes, wanting to see her at her lowest. Just because of the world and society she was born into and was forced to grow up in and learn from, people viewed her as a villain, the bad guy, the selfish snake ready to betray anyone. If it wasnât for Draco, maybe she would be exactly like that. He was the first and only one to realize how close to the edge she was and helped her. Made her go to the mind healer, forced her to go outside, reconnect with people again. She will be forever grateful to him for that.
Socializing with the âgreat brave lionsâ though? She could whack him on the head for that one.
She is a tiny bit curious about the Herbology professor. Yes, she researched a little bit about Neville, of course she wouldnât come completely unprepared.
After putting their things away in their rooms, they are supposed to meet in the living room for the welcome drinks and introductions.
Pansy, absolutely not nervous at all, changed her outfit five times, before settling on a deep green, figure-hugging dress with a snake design traveling from her hip, up across her stomach and back, all the way to her shoulder. She is not gonna be hiding her Slytherin roots this week. Let them side eye her all they want.
As she exits her room, the door at the end of the hallway opens and Neville emerges from his room. FUCK.
He looks at her, eyes soft and expectant, until his eyes travel along her length, from head to toe. When his eyes meet hers again, they are hardened already.
âHello.â She greets him with her head held high. She is not gonna get intimidated by his stare now. She is stronger than that. However, deep inside she felt giddy and vulnerable since she felt like this was the first time he even looked at her at all. She has to squash all those unwanted emotions down, to not make a fool out of herself.
With hard brown eyes staring at her, he only nods his head in greeting and walks around her to the stairs, leaving her rooted to the spot in front of her door.
With a few deep breaths, she convinces herself she doesnât care about his opinion of her and goes to meet her friends downstairs.
When she enters the living room, everybody except Neville turns to look at her.
âSo dramatic Pansy.â Draco says when he sees what she is wearing. Hermione is smiling over the drink in her hand while looking at Neville and then at her. The little prat told her.
Whatever.
After the first round of drinks instead of introductions, (they knew each other from school anyway, why make it even more awkward than it is?) Pansy went to the beach, her favorite part of this amazing mansion. The way the sun beaming down makes the water sparkle has always been her favorite view. She didnât even mind going alone, no one else wanted to leave the air-conditioned safety of the house.
After a while of her lying on the beach, under the shade of a cliff and her favorite tree, she hears someone approaching.
Her eyes widen when she catches Neville walking to her. He is already wiping sweat off of his forehead as he stands over her. Merlin, he is tall. And big.
She lays on her lounger, content in her light blue daisy covered bikini, not acknowledging him at all. Â
âHey⊠Um, I didnât know if you brought water with you. Itâs dangerous not to drink in this heat.â He hands her a big glass filled with ice, water and lemon slices.
Pansy froze. Unbelieving. He was concerned about her?
âOh. Thatâs ⊠thank you.â She takes the cup from his hands. His hands. Her eyes catch on his veiny hands with thick fingers that she knows are more often then not working with soil in the Hogwarts greenhouses.
âAre you gonna drink, orâŠ?â Neville raises an eyebrow at her and she finally tears her gaze away from his perfect hands.
She actually brought her own water bottle, so she doesnât really need to drink, but.. well, he brought it for her and she is grateful and giddy again. She drinks while holding his gaze with her eyes over the top of the glass.
She sees how he looks at her lips and follows the drop of water that escaped from between her lips down her chin and in between her bikini-covered breasts. His cheeks start to look a little red.
He looks parched. Could he be� Interesting. It gives her a bit of a boost in confidence. Not that she is shy normally anyway.
She offers him the cup with the remaining water. âYou look like you could do with a cold drink also. You look parched and⊠very hot.â She says with a little smirk on her face.
He takes the drink from her and goes even more red in the face. But surprisingly, it doesnât seem to faze him that much. Interesting. He drinks from the same cup while looking into her eyes intently.
âHow can you handle this heat? Iâm dying over here.â Neville asks and the staring contest ends.
âI love it when itâs hot. Iâm a snake after all, havenât you heard?â She smirks at him and watches for his reaction similar to the one in the hallway earlier that day.
But this time he just smiles. âYeah, Iâve heard.â With that he grabs the bottom of his brown T-shirt and in one mesmerizing motion he takes it off over his head.
Pansy just sits there with her mouth open and thankful for the sunglasses she has on her wandering eyes. They travel along his chest, decorated with the perfect amount of hair, down over his stomach, no washboard abs in sight, but he looks manly, strong and bulky. Following the trail of hair on his lower stomach that disappears in his green swim trunks, she is interrupted by Neville clearing his throat. FUCK. Maybe the sunglasses were not enough to cover her reaction to his naked upper half.
He tosses his t-shirt onto the sand and takes off to the water, the sight of his broad back making her mouth dry. Â
ââą~âáŻœâ~âąâ
In her same favorite bikini, and beach cover up tied at her hip, she is sitting in a pool chair drinking her sweet pink concoction and looking at all the people having fun at their little pool party that night. Draco is the one coming to her as always.
âWhy are you sulking, now?â He asks in his usual tone, but Pansy knows he means well.
âIâm not sulking.â Pansy retorts but looks into her drink again.
âOk, youâre coming to dance with me. Right now.â With that he takes the drink from her to put it on the nearby table, drags her over to the pool deck, and starts dancing, twirling her around like she is five years old. Tall bastard.
She hates to admit it, but in a few minutes, she is having fun. And everyone around her is having fun also.
Suddenly Draco senses Hermione near him and turns over to grab her waist and pull her against him. Completely forgetting about Pansy. Asshole.
She takes one second to think about what to do next, go sulk into my drink or try to have fun by myself as a big girl that I am?
But she doesnât have to decide. Strong arms circle her waist from behind and she stumbles into a hard chest.
Neville leans over and whispers into her ear. âI hope you are not going back to your chair. We are supposed to have fun on this trip and get to know each other.â
Her body shivers and of course he notices. âAre you cold?â He asks seriously. She canât believe he doesnât know what his whispering and his hands on her body are doing to her. Maybe itâs time to show him.
âNo. But now I have to ask you. Can you handle the heat?â with that she starts swaying her hips against him. The music is very sensual and she uses it. She reaches up behind his neck and leans her head back against his shoulder, still pushing her ass into him. Before she closes her eyes she can see him watching her body move intently.
He speaks then, quiet but determined: âI can handle everything you give me, donât worry Little flower.â
At the nickname she gets very emotional. Thatâs what she desperately needs in her life. Someone to care for her like he cares for his plants. Give her all the right care and nutrition for her to grow more and live her life finally. Not just survive on the minimum.
Her emotional meltdown is interrupted when she feels his hands on her hips. And it awakens different emotions in her.
His voice rumbles as he talks into her neck. âThis little bikini almost killed me. I felt like I couldnât breathe when I saw you in that skin tight snake dress in the hallway, but this? Daisies just became my favorite flower. Also, â he traces his finger from her shoulder all the way down to her wrist, âdid you know, daisies usually symbolize innocence?â
Pansyâs breath catches in her throat when he turns her around and snakes his hands behind her back.
Pansy smiles devilishly âWell I made a mistake choosing the flower then.â With that, she fists her hand in his soft short curls and crashes her lips on his. She doesnât mind their friends seeing them kiss, she doesnât care at all to be honest.
After the initial shock of her lips on his, he kisses her back. And he is not gentle. While he explores her mouth with his tongue, his hand goes to the back of her neck, the other one sliding down to her hip, his fingers playing dangerously with the exposed strings of her bikini. That, with his deep growl against her mouth when she tugged on his hair instantly made her pussy wet.
He was the first to break the kiss after almost passing out without the oxygen.
Looking down at her perked nipples visible in between the innocent daisies: âI guess doing this while still in our swimming suits was not a smart move.â He says breathlessly while holding her close to his body and letting her feel what the encounter did to him.
Pansy smiles up at him and without a word takes his hand and makes him follow her inside.
They donât look at anyone, so they donât see Hermione with a knowing and satisfied smirk on her face.Â
âCongratulations darling, looks like your scheme worked perfectly.â Draco whispers into Hermioneâs ear.
Hermione just smiles at him and says âOh, but the trip wasnât my idea. Certain professor basically bullied me into making it happen.â
Hope you liked it guys đ€

Hey! đ Just wanted to send in a message and say thanks for reblogging my post to leave some of your thoughts on it. I hope you didnât mind the tag. đ
Half the time Tumblr breaks links to other blogs for me, so I just thought tagging would be easier. I also apologize if it felt like I was calling you out or something about giving points on pro jedi to anti jedi fans?? đ Itâs probably just my anxiety, but I still just wanted to clarify in case my words bothered you. I was more just kinda speaking in general to pro jedi fans as a whole.
I definitely agree with your thoughts looking back on it now that the anon mightâve been genuine in the sense they werenât trolling, but it was clear they just wanted to be told they were right. They didnât genuinely want to debate. I kinda sometimes look for the best in people even if itâs not there. đ€Šââïžđ But yeah⊠it IS frustrating to have asks open related to answering SW meta posts or fic questions and then just see a kinda benevolently condescending anti/critical jedi ask in there like that.
Getting all the thoughts out helped me cool off from my rage at that YouTube commenter that called Leia a âbratâ though for not forgiving Anakin, at least. Itâs the little things in life, I suppose. đđđ
I hope youâre doing good! đ I do genuinely love hearing your SW takes, whether on Anakin or Jedi or clone stuff in general. I feel like youâre a lot more objective than others can be about Anakin, if that makes sense?? And also just about the clones in general too and your thoughts they might not want to be seen as mandalorians (at least I think I recall you saying that before in a post?), because theyâre clones and brothers in arms first and foremost. I personally like the idea of them having mandoa just because I feel like itâs something that would be taught and passed down from the genetic tree of Jango. But I DEFINITELY appreciate the idea that Jango mightâve not been as deified by clones as people believe. đ Iâm not saying he was the devil, but at the end of the day he plucked out a kid from the thousands he left behind from being his clones, and called it a day.
I wasn't bothered at all, my firmer more negative opinions aren't going to be for everyone! I'm consistently surprised at how many people DO seem to appreciate anything I have to say on the topic, negative or otherwise. I've said this before, but I made this blog as a space for me to express more negative things and I figured that would be kind-of a turn off for people. I'm glad that it's ended up apparently being at least somewhat enjoyable to other people.
It's incredibly funny to hear myself described as "objective" about Anakin given, well, everything. I'm NOT objective about him, obviously, I'm decidedly biased against him. I HAVE tried to approach his character as objectively as I can sometimes if people have asked me to, but I don't like him much and that does color the way I interact with Star Wars and stories he's involved in. People who love Anakin, even if they're extremely pro Jedi at the same time, will often interpret things VERY differently from how I would specifically because they're more inclined to be sympathetic to him and believe the best of him in a way I just can't most of the time.
For the clones, while I've definitely expressed the opinion that they wouldn't want to be considered Mandos before, that's one of my more bitter opinions, one I tend to feel when I'm more annoyed at the whole Mandoclone concept. If I were trying to be more objective about it, I feel less like they wouldn't WANT to be considered Mandos and simply that they AREN'T Mandos. There's never any real indication that the clones feel a connection to that culture aside from like... two little designs on the helmets that could just as easily be explained away in other ways. They never actually speak Mando'a, they never talk about Jango at all, and they don't seem to show a desire to interact with the Mandos when they have the opportunity (Cody and Rex are both around during the Duchess on Mandalore arc, Rex goes to Mandalore with Ahsoka, and Rex/Gregor/Wolffe meet Sabine). Aside from the two tiniest little designs, there's never a single indication that these people ever felt any connection to being Mandalorian at all.
And I personally just find it really boring to just make the clones MandoLite and base their entire culture around one that already exists rather than recognizing that they've got a radically different kind of upbringing that would have caused some VERY different values and traditions from Mandos. They've got their own canonical slang, they've traveling all the time and could be picking up any number of different traditions from the people on different planets (language, food, maybe art and songs and dances and games). I think Mandoclone headcanons often treat the clones as a monolith instead of recognizing that they're individual people in the process of creating their own extremely unique culture. I think the clones deserve more fun and interesting headcanons than just turning them into MandoLite.

Working on Emovere has been very very slow but I am getting a basis đđȘâš
This started off as a lil teehee but using Toyhouse is helping me sort them out and actually pull direction while forcing me to work on this, I want to finish this one up, least the background before I get too deep into my other au thing Iâm doing
I have basic layouts for characters sorted that are in the base universe and ideas for surrounding topics but for nowwwww Iâll focus on the base universe Dawn and Dusk reside in and the characters.
Hortus- Toriel
Hortus is a gardener of sorts for Nim, before and after she had grown ill. Hortus primarily cares for Dusk and Dawn and behaves as a parental figure for them, she raised them since their physical form took place and up until the end of their world. She loves snail pie as one does and loves to read.
Basileus- Asgore
Basileus is husband to Hortus but with the death of their children their marriage became strained leaving him to more focus on his duties given to him by Nim, to act as a ruler for the people of the world and to aid in matters that were sensitive. He is a gentle soul who cares for his own small garden and loves tea along with biscuits.
Linus- Gaster
Linus was a keeper of sorts, Nimâs personal archive, he kept track of any and everything. Details were important to him. Linus had been the one to give up his own soul to act as a vessel for both Dusk and Dawn hence the skeletal form they take on.
Cleisthenes- Undyne
A practical child to Basileus, Cleisthenes was adopted from a young age and raised well to be truthful and lawful, given her growth and the trust Basileus had placed into her she had been set as a judge under him. She carries her duties out with upmost determination.
I have more but I feel like at the least I would want to write it out in snippets or make small comic pages for them to go into it. I do still need to explore why Nim herself ended up dying, thoughts are bubbling and soon I shall have something for it. I do need to finish up Linus and Cleisthenesâs designs, those will be up on my twitter and Toyhouse when I finish them up.

my vape has been pronounced burnt so instead of hitting it and yarking: gothweebcleats anon here! headcanons time (cw for drug/alcohol talk idk if ur sensitive to that so!! fair warning ahead of time /gen)
the first one to fart in front of the others in the group (all 5 including hermie ofc) was linc. it was an accident and he was deathly embarrassed until taylorâs laugh attack also caused him to fart and then no one could keep it together (even scary. sorry beth)
taylor was the first to be Offered drugs/alcohol but scary was the first one to try weed. she was Exponentially Chiller and if this had been like. height of doodler era the guys wouldnât have talked abt how they prefer her on weed but they would have all thought abt it (canât be mean when youâre melting into the couch)
norm likes four lokos. (for those who donât know: four lokos are 13.9% alc/vol (a lot), have four servings in a can, and have caffeine mixed in) scary likes vodka. taylor drinks rum but likes seltzers. linc doesnât drink bc drinking is for lame-oâs who arenât getting a degree in kickology (heâs the designated driver always and we love her for it). hermie is the smoker of the group but has been known to enjoy fancy ales

- Updated Commission Info as of August 30th, 2022 -
Iâm like 99% sure this should be easy enough to read and understand đ
If yâall have any questions, just shoot me an ask or a DM :)
Iâm also bringing back the slot system! Iâm doing 5 slots at a time and Iâll update the slots in my bio
As for the new info about Customs, you can be descriptive but itâs VERY different from describing a character in detail and having me draw a reference for them. For that, just commission me (or I can do a ref sheet but itâll cost a fair bit haha).
Customs are where you give me very little description, usually just some design stipulations and leave the rest to me to figure out what theyâll look like! I.e. The man in the teal and orange was simply based on orange glazed terracotta and the rest was left up to me đ (You can say more but itâs a lot of the artists creative liberties and the more power I have, the more fun and interesting the design may come out)
Otherwise I think itâs all pretty self explanatory! Itâs a relatively simple process and Iâm happy to help as much as I need đ
Reblogs are HIGHLY appreciated as Iâm struggling to find work so Iâd love for this to get around :D

Could I mayhaps request your opinion on Lilia Vanrouge? I feel like there's a lot more to him than meets the eye and I'm so glad we are seeing more and more diasomnia peeps in the story lately. -â ïž
Hi, Deuceâ Oof, Lilia is so close to a Bingo too đ«
***Standard disclaimer: These are just my personal opinions of the character(s); regardless of what I may think of them, sharing my thoughts is NOT meant to offend or to shame anyone that thinks differently.***
***CONTENT WARNING: brief mentions of war, PTSD, and survivorâs guilt.***
I have many, MANY thoughts about Lilia, and while some of those are highly speculative, Lilia himself is still a very interesting character just based on the concrete, canon information we have on him.
Firstly, I have to say that I love his design. I admit that it was initially off-putting because his haircut doesnât look anything like that of the other characters in the cast, but it was somehow still very fitting in spite of that. Itâs oddly a hot mess and yet fashionable at the same time đ
though maybe I just think itâs fashionable because dark hair with hot pink/magenta streaks reminds me of Draculaura, a vampire girl in a fashion doll line that I really enjoy. I also like how Lilia wears his jacket hanging off of his shoulders and the unique design of his school uniform pants; it helps him stand out in the overall cast and gives him a mysterious, almost antique, aura.
Where Lilia really shines is when heâs interacting with others. Being that he is actually considerably older than everyone, he offers a lot of life experience and wisdom that the others donât have, and itâs amazingly entertaining seeing how he bounces off of his peers because of that. I particularly love when he and Trey are researching for their Magic History project and Lilia keeps elaborating on things he couldnât possibly have known unless he lived through them, thus leaving Trey confused as to how he is so knowledgeable. The best part about these interactions is that Lilia never flaunts his wisdom or uses it to elevate himself to a more powerful or privileged position than the other students. He still treats others as his equals and friends, making online friends with Idia and chilling with the Light Music Club crew like a normal high school boy wouldâbut heâs not afraid to call people out when he sees them acting up. I especially loved Lilia in episode 2 when he straight up told Leona that he was being immature and that a collar suited him better than a crown. Liliaâs out here spitting cold, hard FACTS đ
Lilia is described to us as someone who is well-respected in the Briar Valley due to his record as a successful warrior. Heâs also said to be extremely frightful in his true form, often scaring the children in his home country around Halloween season. I find these aspects of Lilia very intriguing, and I hope that episode 7 touches upon this more (specifically his history as a veteran). It isnât really something that has been often acknowledged in the fandom, but I think that since Lilia is a veteran, thereâs a lot of deep topics to explore through his character. For example, a considerable amount of people that emerge from war do so with survivorâs guilt and PTSD, and Iâm wondering if Lilia is or has experienced something similar as a result? Or does it not faze him because of how long-lived he is? Does he worry about his loved ones and country being exposed to yet another war? Itâd be really interesting to see Lilia from these angles.
Lilia is also a very nuanced guardian figure. I always hear people calling Lilia the âbest dadâ in TWST (to the point where being a good dad is ALL the fandom ever defines Lilia as), but I believe this does a huge disservice to his character. Lilia is NOT âSilverâs dadâ, Lilia is LILIA, and he should not be solely characterized by his relationship to his child. Lilia is also NOT really definitively the âbest dadâ, heâs just the one that immediately comes to mind because we see the most of him out of all the dads mentioned in Twisted Wonderland.
Heâs not a bad parent, but heâs certainly not as perfect as many people make him out to be. Yes, Lilia is a good guardian in that he adopted Silver and raised him as though Silver were his very own flesh and blood, but that doesnât mean Lilia has NEVER made missteps in parenting or that he has NEVER done or said anything to hurt Silver or anyone else, because Lilia definitely has. He was callous in the way he told Silver they werenât related. He endangered his classmates because he was far too immersed in pulling off a scary prank. He left Silver unattended to, sometimes for weeks at a time. He made fun of other people (along with Ace, whom people seem to universally agree is an asshole) when they were trying their darnest, then plays victim when he gets yelled at for it/doesnât take the situation seriously when Jack implies their pride has been hurt by his words. Lilia has done a lot wrong, and I while donât expect him to be perfect (I think being imperfect only adds to his complexity), but I donât like seeing the focus on his positives, as it ignores a lot of his character. What Lilia truly has going for him is not that he is a âperfectâ parent, but that he is a good balance of easygoing yet stern compared to other guardian characters (Jamil is overbearing, Trey is generally way too lax, Jade is an enabler when the situation proves to be amusing, etc.), and he seems to be willing to change or to be better for others.
It might feel like a weird comparison to make, but I honestly feel like a âLiliaâ in the Twisted Wonderland fandom. That doesnât mean Iâm hundreds of years old like Lilia is, but I am definitely âoldâ in terms of âfandomâ years, as I was following TWST since the concept was initially teased. Funnily enough, I have been told before that itâs difficult to pinpoint my age based on how I act, since I can be both extremes. I also frequently get feedback telling me that what I say gives new perspectives and that people appreciate my wisdom (analyses, theories, etc.) which is really flattering and makes me sound like some revered ancestor or something đ„ș Mm⊠It feels like I usually have to be the âadult in the roomâ when the fandom is on fire or reacting very negatively and emotionally to TWST news. Like Lilia, Iâm here to have fun, but I also know when to step in, offer advice, and remind others to calm down and look at a situation more rationally (ie like Lilia calming Sebek down when he freaks out over Malleus being missing).

đ *blesses your narrow gauge engines* đ
Also quick question have you ever thought of drawing Smudger, Duke, or both?
ty for the blessing charlie đđ and now you got my lazy ass to design Smudger!! I remember reading a headcanon about Smudger being a nickname for Stanley (RWS) because they're essentially the same character, but don't remember who said it and I thank them for that one as I will use it âš
About Smudger, practically his whole biography--very long:
RWS described him as American, so Mr. Burr is too :]
Smudger spent a couple years stationed in France, working the trench railways during the later years of the war at 26 y/o.
While there he encountered a little French girl named Sylvie (8 y/o) beside the tracks, her parents nowhere in sight. He endeavoured to take care of her as much as he could; Smudger would share his food with her, and she travelled in his engine cab with him so she wasn't wandering alone in the dark. Smudger, with the help of some friends, made a little makeshift bunker for Sylvie to stay in whenever he couldn't bring her around and always dropped off little toys or stationery he found for her.
When he had to go back to America, Smudger brought her to a small orphanage. Conveniently her parents were there searching for her, so Smudger gave them his number and address, requesting weekly updates by phone or letter on who was essentially his adopted daughter at this point; they oblige, grateful to the American that took care of their child.
Two years later he learns that Sylvie died of osteosarcoma at 10 y/o. Smudger fell into a deep depression, but under the advice of his old war friends he and his engine were approved to be moved to Sodor working on the narrow gauge railway there, hoping for a quieter life to ease his tension.
His train often derailed--firstly because his engine hadn't been re-gauged for the Mid Sodor Railway, then it was a toss-up between the engine just not co-operating with the tracks or Smudger being careless with his driving. Mainly due to being preoccupied by memories of Sylvie. He'd snap at other workers while in this state; he was very irritable.
While the Manager was understanding of his mental state, he had to fire Smudger (36 y/o) for the good of the Railway. Smudger accepted this and, figuring he was too out of it to continue driving his engine, approved for it to be stripped down and used as scrap metal and parts for the Railway's pumping mechanism.
He retired from railway work entirely for 7 years, living in the quiet comforts of Sodor. At 43 y/o he felt he had recovered from his depression enough to work again, and became a fireman for Duncan (Smudger simply loves narrow gauge engines).
me, rewriting Smudger's whole personality to explain why he kept derailing and never cared about it: "...SHIT I'M PROJECTING ONTO HIM"
the 'A Few Spills' pin is just a reference to Stanley saying "In the States, we don't care a dime for a few spills!" (according to the wiki, man i really should get these books)
the 'Sylvie' pin is obviously to remember her, but also the sun with 7 points is something she would always draw.

Marina from Stingray for the ask game please!
Hiya Anon, thank you for the ask đ„°
First impression:
Loved her character design. Literally one of the most beautiful female GA characters I'd ever seen. Very unique facial features, mesmerising hair! đđ however, I did worry a little that her inability to speak would be a running joke because *harr harr women talk too much*
Impression now:
While said joke certainly does appear, thankfully it's only a handful of times and not by the main cast (save Shore). As for Marina herself, absolutely love her. She clearly values her friends dearly even if they're romantic rivals. And though she's the Damsel in Distress on several occasions, she is shown to be brave - in ep 1 she helps Troy and Phones escape completely unprovoked, and she goes back to Titan to save Troy. Girl has some resolve đȘ
Favourite moment:
There's a lot, but I think I have to give it to Sea of Oil when she realises Atlanta has been kidnapped. When I first watched it, I honestly thought they'd go down the route of Marina not telling anyone so she could have Troy to herself (sorry for being so cynical) and at the end when all is well, the cast would laugh and make a joke about women being feral when they're in love etc.
Particularly as earlier on, Troy acknowledged that he was very lucky man to have Atlanta.
Anyway, that didn't happen at all. Marina raises the alarm right away - by going straight to Troy, who she knows Atlanta is incredibly important to.
Something about that moment made me respect her a whole lot more.
Idea for a story:
Oh lots, including a romantic slow burn. But I'd love to write a fic in which she braves land travel for some important reason, and the consequences it could have on her. Also, her figuring out a train station or airport would be just đđ
Don't worry, a responsible adult like Atlanta would go with her
Unpopular opinion:
I really can't get on board with the backstory of a curse causing Marina's muteness. It's from an audio story but it completely contradicts the show itself. If Marina is cursed whereby she utters one word and someone dies, then why is she so eager to learn to speak in Countdown?
Favourite relationship:
Phones and Marina hands down, oh my goodness. When she links arms with him at the end of Treasure Down Below, that got me interested. But when he comforts her during Man From the Navy, I think that was The Moment I boarded that ship. He seems to have a real knack for working out what she's trying to say and is acutely aware of her, what she might be feeling etc. And of course, Marina will break the rules to help him
Favourite headcanon:
A personal headcanon - Marina can't read our alphabet, or at least not initially. I think the Pacifican language must be broadly the same as English (for...some reason) but the alphabet isn't. This provides a handy explanation as to why she doesn't just write what she wants to say. Obviously, she must learn to read it at some point because she is able to read a note in The Lighthouse Dwellers.
Plus, all those times where she's seen reading books/magazines - she's learning slowly, or looking at the pictures đ

first off. love your boomerang tattoo!! second, do you have any recs or tips for after care? im getting my first one soon and just trying to be prepared lol
thank you!!! đâ
Hmm as far as like, what to do for after care, you should really ask your tattoo artist. it all depends on what you actually get, where it is, etc. They can walk you through that whole process a lot better than I can.
But as far as like...products, I like to use this:
You can get a small or large jar on amazon. I think this one cost like $12? And it's more than enough product for me since my tats are all pretty small. I like this one and it works well for me, but there are a ton of different kinds and brands to choose from. If you're going to a professional artist they probably have good recommendations for things to use too.
Whatever you decide to try, always do a spot test somewhere else on your body first to make sure you dont get a reaction from it...thats the last thing you want on a new tattoo when the skin is trying to heal.
Other than that...just try to keep the area clean, moisturized, and give it air and time to heal. Your artist can give you more specifics and in my experience, they're always willing to answer any questions you have, no matter how silly it seems. Especially if it's your first ever tattoo...don't be afraid to ask any question you have. OH and ESPECIALLY don't be afraid to tell them if there's something you want to change about the design, or the placement BEFORE they get started. If anything doesn't feel right about it, just say so, and generally they can help you figure out how to fix it.
Like in my case, we had to erase the guide from my foot and make a new one because i didn't like where she initially placed it. But she was nice about it, and we just tried again until I was happy with it. If it's something that's gonna be on your body forever, then you want to be 100% positive about what and where it is. I always go in with an exact image of what I want and that usually helps too.
Anyway, getting tattoos is fucking awesome, I love that for you and I hope it goes well!!! Have funđ
i hope this answers your question? sort of?? If theres anything else specific you wanna know I'll try my best but I can only speak from my own experiences

elena your mind is absolutely galaxy sized with all these extremely scrumptious ideas !!!! let me add some notes and a new idea of my own under the cut to avoid making a post longer than the color of the sky !!!
1. i have absolutely 0 idea what these cases are but i totally 100% support this idea!! this is amazing but we must not forget the caves altogether elena you know jack needs his pineapple otherwise he will become depressed!! we need to build a balanced schedule for when to use the leashes, these cases and when we will allow them some cave time as well. diversity is important!!
2. this is a very important part of making the FIR a developed institution! my goodness jack will soon upgrade his status from stinky rat to stinky but SMART rat!! i am certain he would love this once he learns to use it. joan mir will probably have a harder time using this seeing that his mathematical capabilities seem to be very much lower than anyone elseâs in the entire motogp. but i am sure that once we figure out all the logistics of the new FIR we will be able to employ someone to give joan some special help so that he too can learn the joy of basic math đđ»
3. this is a very good idea i love the fruit hats but should we give the losers some kind of hats as well?! not fruit hats but at least something because otherwise their morale will go down and it is not a good look for FIR :// or is it actually the opposite, will their morale go up if they do not get any hats and therefore they will race harder the next week??? much to think about here......
4.
here is jack looking more stylish than EVER with his new FIR approved rat sweater!!! warm sweaters tailored specifically for jack and his needs surely are the most ambitious development the FIR has ever done before. it will raise jack to be the new face of FIR and we will become world renowned for staying true to our word and putting rat comfortableness into action as one of our highest priorities!!! FIR will follow the suit of alphatauri, we will not only be a part of the motorsport scene but we will also have our very own clothing line designed for bald rats all around the world!! đ
and then onto my own original idea as well:
5. while i think it is very important that we try to reduce the biting as much as possible with the leashes and the cases i also think that maybe we should allow all of our rats to have one hour every week when theyâre all allowed to be in the same space with each other and then they can fight and bite each other a little. they are wild animals they need to act on their instincts every now and then!! if they know that they will have a time when they are really allowed to bite then they maybe will not bite as much during other times??!! of course this free hour will be strictly supervised and no bullying is allowed but sometimes they just gotta bite each other a little. you know, as a treat đŹđ
i am certain that there are multiple other ways of improving the FIR as well but so far i think this is pretty good?? at least better than all of fim ever in their over 100 year old history!
elena we need to make a comprehensive list of all the changes we will make when we take over the fim/fir so far we have got the admin rights to ducati instagram and the (bedazzled) rat leashes alongside with indepth rat safety what else will we accomplish
Kia this is a fantastic idea !!! Ok so along with that I propose:
1. carrying cases for the rat riders - I know this isnât a cave but the cave is just not transportable and Kia theyâre getting lazy in their caves ! therefore I propose we carry them around in these cute little cases which may also stop some biting
they can look and breathe and smell their surroundings but they will be contained !!!
2. teach jack to count and some of the other riders đ - we all know that most of them cannot count therefore we give them this:
itâs rainbow, itâs cute and itâs enrichment like instead of sitting in the box talking about data they donât understand we give them whatever this is and we will have jack miller doing multiplication in no time !!!
3. point scorers must wear fruit hats
whoever wins gets their choice of the fruit hat and if youâre not wearing a cool fruit hat everyone knows youâre a loser đ
4. because jack is a hairless rat I think we need to get him some knitted sweaters
theyâre stylish, theyâre warm, they will keep his beautiful bald shiny self warm from the cold nights and soon he will be Europe and Australiaâs most fashionable rat so not only will we be making motogp progressive with the new FIR but we will also be making it stylish !
Please I am open to ideas, criticism anything to make the FIR better đ
#i am: going to cry at the cases sdmfnglg#everyday i wonder whether our followers think we are completely insane with these rat things of ours#anyway#fir development is an important task we must take it as seriously as possible!!#this is a whole another branch of the jack & pecco saga this is going to be a part of history

i think i speak for most enfps when i say that we honestly believe itâs the thought that counts :) like ik it seems cliche and stupid but if someone gave me a rock and said it reminded me of them, iâd die of happiness đ
some things i think give off enfp vibes are late night conversations-bonus points if youâre screaming to your fave music in the car, cute picnics-bonus points if itâs either like super weird like at some weird location OR if itâs like super cheesy/cliche and just like the movies, just giving random things to them like the rock from above đ, also like random text messages like good morning/night texts, sending memes/vids/posts that remind you of them (when ppl do this, it makes my heart soar bc it makes me so so so happy), etc đ
it really depends on each person, i have a non existent love life BUT i have a lot of friends and i think these go for friends too tbh đ
my best advice would just be too bring a lil adventure in to their lives-doesnât have to be big but do some thing unexpectedly like just random messages, random gifts (not like an expensive bag-which i wouldnât hate but iâm more likely to cherish a twig), random dates/meetups/surprise visits, and also try to make em laugh ;)
also we are super impulsive and spontaneous and reckless if you havenât figured out, but we donât mind compromising if that makes you uncomfortable but if there are too many lists and rules and like a strict schedule, we may get slightly stressed đ„Č
oh also let them rant and add on to their weird theories and random conversation topics đ try not to stay silent or like discourage them bc some ideas may be completely over the top ridiculous with no realistic steps to reach the goal but itâs like it makes me sad when someone invalidates/discourages it :( when someone pitches in with a ridiculous addition, it makes me really happy and itâs a great way to woo an enfp ;) like thatâs thatâs the simplest way to their heart đ
ex) if they create an âimaginaryâ theme park design and tell you all about it...if you want to woo them, pitch in an idea for like a ride or that you could add a zoo...try to stay away from asking like âhowâ or âthatâs ridiculousâ or âyou need steps to get thereâ or âthatâs never gonna actually happenâ
but yeah i hope that helps đ„° not sure if i even answered the questions but i hope i did?
enfps....
how do you guys like to be wooed? infj here asking for some advice :)
#hope you were able to follow along ;)#this post was all over the place#itâs good practice đđ
