I made romantic moodboards of Katherine Shalazar x Emily Jane Pitchiner, a ship that's very dear to me. 😳👉👈

I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so I'll post all three. All of them are the same except for the picture in the middle that's supposed to signify them both.

Sketchbook Log: Drew this on the train.

Trying to fix white silk with a thread of nightmare sand. (A truly fatherly move)

Bonus: link

[nerditudes]

Tis the season so here's a full comprehensive list of all my Rise of the Guardians / Guardians of Childhood characters on this blog! I've got ten different characters from the books, film, and a couple of my own design. Just a quick reference for folk lookin for interactions with them.

The Man in the Moon - Previously @omnipotentmoon. I threw together my own interpretation of him [for a friend's au jack frost ironically] and he grew into his own character. He's stoic but kind hearted-- he struggles with facial expressions sometimes, and tends to have resting moon man face. The Guardian of Children.

Pitch Black - Previously nightmarekiing [now defunct]. This interpretation is HEAVILY book based-- but I use the movie version as a FC for ease of use. He is a pirate, criminal, general, and boogeyman. He has no heart, the Fearlings swallowed it long ago.

Katherine Shalazar - Aka Mother Goose. Katherine is only a character in the books, and is very 'Wendy' coded. Nightlight [and subsequently Jack Frost] are EVERYTHING to her. She's the main character of the books and the Guardians of Childhood wouldn't have formed without her. She's also the one Guardian that Pitch is remotely kind to-- mainly due to her reminding him of his lost daughter. The Guardian of Stories.

E. Aster Bunnymund - The last Pooka [as far as he knows]. Again we have a book based interpretation using movie icons. Though I do adapt the events of the ROTG film to the book Guardians. Bunnymund is a chocolate-obsessed nerd, a far cry from the Australian jock we see in the movie. He made the planet Earth long ago-- and wanted to make it egg shaped [eggs are his special interest.] The Guardian of Hope.

Jack Frost - This is my own Old Man Winter interpretation of Jack-- and he doesn't follow movie or film canon. He did save his daughter from a patch of thin ice-- and it cost him his own life. The heart of a star fell into him-- bringing him back as neither Nightlight nor Frost-- but both blended together. He can shift his age around to appear younger, but enjoys his original form especially. He is the spirit of winter personified, and The Guardian of Fun.

Lord Darkside - Darkside is the result of unintentional magic done by a lonely little Tsarling who desperately wanted a friend like him. Mani turned his very shadow into a playmate. He serves as MiM's bodyguard, though he and his charge are as opposite as two people can be. Darkside is mischievous, puckish, genderfluid, and sassy. While not a Guardian of Childhood, he is The Guardian of the Moon and the Tsar in particular.

NPCs [Characters that aren't main muses but available for interaction nonetheless]

Clipper - Given the name Cieza by @easterelf, this little moonbot is a special sort of creation. She's the artificial intelligence of the Moon Clipper [aka MiM's moon]. She is a reflection of the ship itself, and is rather small due to how old and damaged the Clipper has become over the centuries. She's very small-- standing under three feet in height, and may be more than she seems.

Haru - A Pookan runt. Haru wasn't even intended to survive past childhood. He crash landed on the moon when MiM was a teen-- and devoted himself to MiM since the Tsarling had saved him. He is where most of the rabbit in the moon stories come from. His passion is food and he serves as the ship's cook [and on occasion, the Tsar's tutor]. He is not a Guardian of Childhood-- but he often jokes that his title is The Guardian of Cooking.

Ombric Shalazar - Aka Father Time. He cannot physically interact with the Guardians anymore [read the books for the lore on THAT!], but he still serves as a Guardian. He has full and complete control of time, and can manipulate it to a degree. He's the reason Santa is able to deliver all those toys in one night. He's also Katherine's adopted father. The Guardian of Time.

Nicholas St North - Former bandit king turned guardian of childhood. He's Santa. A master in combat and raised by Cossack, he is a force to be reckoned with. North's growth is plastered throughout the books, as he serves as the deuteragonist of the novels. The Guardian of Wonder.

Hey guys! I’ve been working on ideas to write a film based off of the books, the Guardians of Childhood and wanted your input!

Now, I’m against writing a sequel to the first movie only because I feel like Rise didn’t set up enough to write a sequel that people would go to see. It didn’t really show the growth of the Guardians as a team. In other words, the movie felt like it started halfway through their story, like there should have been a movie before setting up everything in Rise. Not to mention the fact that the movie isn’t very huge with audiences minus us and Jelsa fans, it would be hard to really get us involved with the characters stories UNLESS it was just redone. If Dreamworks started at the beginning of the Guardians’ journey, it would have made the death of Pitch in the finale of Rise feel much more impactful. Set up and payoff - that’s what a story needs. You know, it’s actually a good thing that the books aren’t as popular because then there’s a chance to bring these characters into the movie world with a BANG. Plus, there are fans of Rise Of The Guardians who would get excited over a sequel or ANYTHING involving the team!

So, that brings me here! l’ve come up with some ideas, but overall, I want the basics the be:

• The look of the universe, the world building itself and characters will look and feel as they did in the books, with their respective powers and traits. (Yup, I’m looking at you Nightlight!) I will also add little easter eggs to make Rise fans happy!

• 2D - I chose the 2D animated design because I feel like the order to make this, I need to push the boundaries as to how the characters can move. You know the original episode of the series, Hazbin Hotel? The way the character Alastor stretched and moves when he first walks into the room upon meeting Charlie? It would be great if Pitch had that sort of movement. (I’m still debating on an Anime, Blue Eye Samurai look or an Arcane matte painting, combined with the character designs from the books.)

Now I’m going to ask you guys some questions in a bit! I need some fan input into what you guys would want to see with these characters! I don’t want Jack being the main character only because I want to try something different, but if it comes down to you guys wanting Jack as the MC, then he can continue to be the protagonist!

Alright, guys..

Will be posting the second poll after this one is up!

[freak-like-meemy]

This just screams Katherine Shalazar/Mother Goose to me.

A dose of escapism.

[vitamntea]

Hey guys, Teacup here.

I’d greatly appreciate if you took the time to read this but it’s okay if you don’t. :)

I’ve been asked this a lot in the past but I feel I should officially address it because it is indeed a very weird coincidence. And it’s honestly a bit laughable at the end of the day… but I can’t help but feel a little bothered because it still goes on.

Over the years of shipping Jiara/Ivyfrost as an oc x canon pairing, I’ve heard the Kiara-Katherine comparison many many times, and I just want to clear the air. I’ve never read the Guardians books, so I know absolutely nothing about Katherine other than she portrays Mother Goose (which I Googled out of curiosity). I believe the visual resemblance between my character Kiara and Katherine was brought to my attention a couple years ago in DeviantArt, where an individual approached me and asked why I based an original character off of a book character. I was genuinely confused as to who she was referring to… but it was solved smoothly. There was no issue at all. They were super chill and understanding.

Another funny comparison I discover upon joining tumblr in 2020 was that Jiara was the name of another ship from a TV series, which I’m sure many may be familiar with. “Outer Banks” is currently one of my favorite shows, but it was slightly shocking how much Kiara Carrera and JJ Maybanks bore resemblance to my little pairing of Kiara Ivy and Jack Frost.

The last one that took me by surprise was a Dramione reference, from a friend on Instagram. To say the least, I didn’t think about it until it was brought to my attention. But I accept it 😂

But I want to reiterate this:

Kiara Ivy is my main original character, based on myself and my life experiences. I grew up adding to this story, learning lessons of my own. And then eventually Kiara became her own concept and I decided I wanted to build a universe around that.

Kiara is 1000000000% original and a product of ideas I have had over the past few years. I plan to write a book and produce a homemade TV series about this storyline. She is written in a canon universe based around dark fairytale lore and mythology. Yes, this concept of mine was inspired by the movie ROTG, but again I’ve never read the books and hadn’t even heard of them until I joined Tumblr and DeviantArt a few years ago.

Comparisons will always be made, no matter what. We perceive things based on our own interests and perspectives. And it’s kind of funny how we draw connections in different places.

***I’ll prolly go back and edit this a few more times so expect changes in the future. ***

Again, thank you for taking the time to read this. It was a funny coincidence to realize my pairing bears resemblance to so many other couples but I also hope those who appreciate Kiara x Jack content are not mistaking it for another couple. :)

Today is a very special day because today is the eleventh anniversary of Rise of the Guardians!

ROTG is very dear to me because it introduced me to the Guardians of Childhood book series by the wonderful William Joyce and opened the window that lit up the very dark room that was my life at the time and made me want to be a writer.

So, I decided to celebrate with a special moodboard of my OTPs, Katherine Shalazar/Jack Frost (Jatherine/Snow Goose) and Katherine Shalazar/Nightlight (Kathlight/Bedtime Stories).

Yes, they are the same couple, but just at different ages. Nightlight and Katherine are 12, and Jack Frost and Mother Goose are 18.

For those who don't know, Katherine Shalazar grows up to be Mother Goose, and Nightlight doesn't die; he grows up to be Jack Frost~

[freak-like-meemy]

I thought I was the only one in the whole world who saw the potential in the ship between Katherine Shalazar (Mother Goose) and Emily Jane Pitchiner (Mother Nature). 😳👉👈

I like to call them WildGoose kinda like WildQueens (Tooth x Emily Jane).

Some RotG Episode Ideas bc that Potential Animated Series Project Post by @lumin0usfox Inspired Me

(( i haven’t read book 5 of goc yet so mega apologies if some of this is off (im writing this with knowledgeup to War of Dreams) and assuming that most people outside of the fandom haven’t read the books. im kinda writing it for that mindset))

- Opening episode is Jack and Jamie working on trying to get Jack believers. hyjinks ensue.

- like following the logic that William Joyce has already set that Burgess doesn’t really have a specific time. like yeah it’s like 2012 but it’s also in the past so the Internet isn’t really that big of a thing. So they can’t just make a blog post or YouTube video and have it go viral. so they focus on more in-person not-offline ways of getting believers

-or idk maybe the technology does exist and a youtube video goes viral and Jack gets a lot of believers that way. the rest of the guardians are just… “is that allowed???”.

- I know this is super self-indulgent but can we please have Jamie and North try to teach Jack, Bunny, and Tooth memes please. if nothing else than as a running joke

-an episode of all of the guardians checking up on pitch to make sure he’s not trying anything. and since Jack’s lost most of his memories this could be where he (and the audience) learns Pitch’s past

- at least one episode that’s not too much of jack really interacting with the guardians or the kids from Burgess specifically and we kind of get more of a glimpse into what his life was like before becoming a guardian or having believers

-holiday special must include a party at North’s. I think this might actually be canon actually. plus sandy goes nuts for the eggnog so that’s gonna be fun. Sandy absolutely destroys Bunny at charades.

Keep reading

[frosted-night]

Headcanons pt ???? revenge of the sith

Jack

It’s very easy for him to unsettle people. All he has to do is shut down his emotions and be completely blank faced. His natural thousand yard stare has spooked a number of other frost spirits.

Despite being physically the youngest in the group, he is very out of touch with trends and such. He might hear some in passing when he encounters children but he has the loosest grasp on them.

He is also the least in touch with technology. He understands cars somewhat because he sees them all the time but he has little idea on everything else. It amuses North greatly to see Jack try and use a phone. The great Furby incident of ‘98 will be held against Jack for quite some time.

The concept of dolls confuses him greatly but some actually unsettle him. Especially ones that talk with low batteries.

Mother Nature

Her wrath is unmatched. She’s very cold towards humans but she doesn’t go out of her way to hurt them. If they are unfortunate enough to suffer from her weather, she doesn’t celebrate it.

Nymphs, Driads and other nature spirits alike know of her and are mostly terrified of her. At often times they either call her “Queen Nature”, “Lady Nature” or not even refer to her by name if they can help it. Usually its out of respect and out of sheer terror.

She in fact has a few underlings and various spirits she allowed to take up residence in her kingdom.They are fiercely loyal to her and sometimes get portions of offerings that Mother Nature gets.

She rarely swims but according to Jack, she looks like a stringy haired ghost girl when wet. She took the joke fairly well and thinks of it now and then when she has to wet her hair.

Despite being close friends with Sandy, she blocked him out of her dreams for a reason or two. Sandy does not take it as an insult, as Nature has always been a mostly closed off person. If she wants to share her dreams with him, she will. If she doesn’t then he will be just fine. Some dreams are just too intimate and private for her to share. Some dreams of hers were preserved for her with the help of a different friend, so she could never forget them.

North

He loves researching new trends and toys that kids are into. As such he is the most in touch guardian despite his direct interaction with kids being low. The blind bag craze is one of his favorites, since they’re often unpredictable and gets kids very excited.

It’s no secret that bootleg toys have an odd place in his heart. be it bootleg Furbys or lazily painted pokemon figurines, he’s probably got them stored somewhere. He has considered giving some to naughty children as a joke but has yet to act on it.

Sometimes he checks in on his former homeland(Russia) and worries over the youth. He makes sure those situations like theirs get enough to persevere through the worst of it all.

He has had a straggler or two find their way to the North Pole and settle in the secret village for refuge. It’s rare for him to allow it and usually its temporary but some do stay for the rest of their lives.

Despite loving cookies, he has a soft spot for traditional foods from his homeland. Like Tula Gingerbread and Chak-Chak. He has a good time trying to make some for himself and he often does it when he has an emotional low day. 

Katherine

Her ties to belief are a little different than the others. So long as her stories continue to get told and printed, she’ll still have power.

She loves to collect books that her former readers end up writing someday. The horrible dollar store romance books hit differently when she needs a laugh.

When stressed or put into a difficult spot, she can be very impulsive. Almost to the point where her spells backfire in unpredictable ways. Its almost humorous to see the level headed voice of reason suddenly go full dumbass.(For Jack at least.)

If she had to pick a favorite time of year it’d be early Autumn. It’s perfect reading weather according to her but isn’t dreadfully cold.

Despite her appearance,  you’d think classical music would be her favorite. It’s actually a lot of songs that would be considered “Dad songs”. That is 100% North’s fault and she loved to blast those songs when she has to clean her bookshelves/reorganize them.

[rotg-goc-headcanons]

Hi! Hope you had a good week. What is your headcanon for each of the Guardians' love language?

I'll lay out my best guess for each Guardian (plus Pitch and Seraphina for fun). Nightlight: Quality time for sure, and I'm thinking acts of service would be big for him. Katherine: definitely words of affirmation, and I suspect being friends with Nightlight makes her big on quality time too. Ombric: Gifts! He invents and makes things because he loves to, he makes a safe haven for learners because he loves to share! He likes to give! North: Also gifts! On one hand, he might've picked it up from Ombric, but on the other hand he was a thief so more likely he knows the importance of physical reminders. Plus, he likes making things Tooth: I'm putting Tooth down as an actions person, though she's not one to shy away from verbally telling people she cares either. Sandy: Sandy, used to working constantly would probably appreciate someone spending time with him. Uninterrupted focus probably means a lot to someone who doesn't speak. Bunny: As an artist, he's probably a gifter. Affectionate words aren't really his thing, but no matter how much he and North argue about Christmas vs. Easter, he always tries to outdo North with Christmas gifts. Jack: Attention would be a big thing for Jack, so almost anything is great for him. I want to say physical touch is his thing, but more likely than not he's an actions dude, though he'd be quick to brush affectionate acts off with a joke. Seraphina: She would most likely best appreciate words of affirmation. A gift would make her feel like she's being bought, while touch would be invasive. I always imagine she and Sandy have tea every few decades, so quality time is definitely on the table. Pitch: Another person of action. When I think of Pitch showing love, I mostly just think about Kozmotis, all those years ago, subjecting himself to guard the fearlings prison because he so loved his daughter

Prompt #107 : [Katherine/Emily Jane]

....since it doesn't state anything other than the ship, well don't mind me taking the liberty of giving them the power to BRING THE WORLD REVOLUTION!!

A doodle page I did of the modern au

Jack used to date someone before he died whose name was Katherine. Though she was the one who faded away first, then Jack not long after.

Rumors spread that Katherine is out there somewhere that ended up like Jack. As a spirit. But since Jack knew he didn’t remember his past memories until he was given the Tooth Box, he thought that Katherine wouldn’t remember him if they were to meet again. Even if they were to meet he didn’t want to cause his ex gf confusion.

Also other things to note, Katherine and Jack’s deaths aren’t like 100 years ago. It’s pretty recent (like a year before the Modern AU “starts”) since it’s a modern au and things are altered to fit in the AU. So everyone’s really in the sad times for both the spirits and their families. The more I type the more I confuse myself and make things sadder LMAOOO sobs

[electric-ribbons]

i got this adorable little headcanon after rewatching the movie 12 times already (ok maaaybe im a lil bit obsessed,) that once Jamie becomes a guardian of some sort when he's older Phil takes up the father figure role instead of North and they form a relationship similar to Katherine & Kailash
