:DDDD i wuv u!!!!

Silvanus:

4. Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?

I may have answered this one b4 but that just means i get 2 pick another instance >:3 (lonk from pennslyvania to the first rep to this q)

The second time that Silvanus witnessed something that fundamentally changed them was probably when they met Luljeta. This is gonna sound pretty cheesy, and my next choice probably would have been when Gold was outed as a half-demon or when Ky revealed himself willing to murder to keep his love safe, but - these things didn’t really change Sil. Or, they did. I’m getting all jumbled up here - those instances are what made Silvanus believe in the whole love thing in the first place, watching their two idiot brothers (because Sil knew how this was going to go down, okay, he’d been calling Ky a brother-in-law for months if not years at this point) figure out they loved each other enough to defy the whole world and win. 

No, but some part of them knew that love existed for other people, but Sil was also the elder of the Spell-Smith brothers. He saw what Morgana did to their father, and some part of them that wanted desperately not to get that hurt ever whispered to them that love just was not in the cards, not for them, no ser no way. No thank you. But then, this is so cheesy, they met Luljeta, and they were just floored. Like, Ky and Gold went on for years after that that they were just as bad as they were, and like, they didn’t even have the whole pining for literal years problem, so what was their excuse? No, they just kind of... they interacted with her, and she was so much sunshine, brilliant and chaotic and inevitable, and they think “Yeah. Yeah, I could try for her.” And that changed them. That changed them forever.

And yeah, pretty much anyone with eyes knows that :)

6. Does your character have recurring themes in their dreams?

Flames. It’s always been flames, before Ky even came into their family, flames. It’s always been their worst irrational fear. Eventually their fear of fire gets better and worse, better in their conscious mind (their brothers are fire elementals, and they’ve learned to recognize the warmth of family that comes with the flames) but in their subconscious, in their dreams, it gets worse, so much worse, when he heard of the Druidic Genocide that happened in Blithe during the war. 

Rot eventually is added to their bad dreams at night, and sometimes, even during the day.

Another theme: time distortion. Speedups, slowdowns, all the time; even in good dreams. They can never make sense of it. To me, though, it symbolizes their fear of immortality while knowing, again and again, without fail, they would make the same decision of choosing a good, healthy tree. Because it wasn’t for them. It was for her. And whatever comes, whatever pains or numbs them, they will remain, steadfast and sturdy against the flow. And hey - life does bring joy, too. There is always a silver lining.

On a less serious note: purple tones. They dream in pastels and forests and running, flying. They dream of letting go of their cold facade in front of the whole world of nature around them, laughing and crying and smiling and it’s just so liberating that they know they can never do this in reality in front of anyone but their family. They love it. They sing with the birds and they braid their hair and it doesn’t mean anything, they’re not an officer there, they’re just... a druid. No responsibilities, just a connection with what’s around them that they were robbed of when they were young and that they would be damned if they didn’t allow for themself now.

Also ducks sometimes :p

7. Does your character have recurring themes in their nightmares?

I guess I accidentally already answered this one,,,,, xDDDD

Gold:

24. How quick is your character to trust someone else?

Oh this boy has some Issues, as you well know xD 

When he was young, he would trust so absolutely so quickly. See: his first summoning of Ky. Immediately the kid went “ah yes, new friend!” even as Ky was freaking out, as one would, if one was seven and just summoned across enemy lines, but whatever. He snuck into wizard pentagon and batted not one eyelash at the officials with weapons chasing after him; which may be more akin to stupidity than trust, but anyway. 

But then he got to know Ky better, and it sounds bad, but Ky taught him distrust, Not by betraying him, no, but Ky is the one who taught him that not everyone has the best of intentions. Not everyone is Golden, who sees someone who is by all rights an enemy and goes “ah yes, new friend!” Some people have ulterior motives, and Ky murmurs this to him, and Golden, ever the strategist, goes duh, because he knows this (he just doesn’t believe it yet. He’s only a kid). 

Until his eyes find Ky’s newest bandage-to-soon-become-a-scar, and his fingers brush it, and he goes okay, I trust you.

He believes it when he is discovered as a half demon, and the previous Head General tries him in front of his whole military and cuts his braid, takes his wand and ID, strips him of his citizenship and chains him and leaves him to starve. Some people have ulterior motives, he whispers to himself the first night as he cries. He believes him now in a way he couldn’t before.

So he doesn’t trust in the way he could before, either. It takes him so long now, though he’s developed an instinct for it; if you ring the instinct in a bad way, it’ll be never, but ring it in a good way and it’ll be much quicker than it would be otherwise.

Once you’ve earned his trust, though, it is very, very hard to break.

25. How quick is your character to suspect someone else? Does this change if they are close with that person?

Again, he has an instinct for it, and he certainly won’t convict you if he has no evidence, but he certainly would be willing to look for it, you feel? He’s been strategizing and fighting battles and winning them and losing them too long to ignore a bad feeling. That said, he still kinda halfway keeps his childhood naivete; he looks for the best in people even if he doesn’t particularly trust them yet, and there is the difference. However, yeah, that changes real quick if he’s close with the person because - it takes so much to be close to him, and part of him can’t reconcile that with that person being suspect of anything above a harmless prank, really. He can be forced to see reason with hard unequivocal evidence, but that pretty much is what it takes. He’s got a personal rule not to suspect his friends anyway, because those are the only people guaranteed not to have ulterior motives.

32. Describe a scenario in which your character feels most uncomfortable.

The kid cannot handle watching his friends die and knowing that his own clock is ticking while his brothers - still technically is, but at a much slower, bigger scale. Because he’s known his brother long enough to know this: their biggest fear is being alone, and they’re on the fast track for it. Forever. Or, not forever. The foreseeable future, which, for Sil, is a hell of a long time. 

Or a scenario where Ky is in pain, in trouble, and he can do nothing. Replace Ky’s name with anyone he cares about, really, because that’s what it all comes down to, honestly. He can’t handle helplessness. That’s what it is about Sil’s situation, Luljeta’s, Ky’s way back in the day - that despite everything Golden is, who he is, even with his power he cannot save everyone. He can’t shield everyone from everything. That’s not how it works. 

And one day, he won’t even be there to try, and that thought terrifies him as much as it makes him grieve for his brother.

And for his love, because he will be the one to hold the blade despite how much Ky loathes it, and he can’t even spare him from that. Because he can’t do it himself.

Helplessness.

The Winx’s parents in the AU, re-redrawn! Because their old art was very crusty and I re-redesigned a couple transformations since so they were outdated anyways. Copypasted information below!

Michael “Mike” Peters and Vanessa María Florinda-Peters: Vanessa’s Mexican-American and works as a florist, managing her shop and making arrangements for events and parties. Mike has worked as a firefighter since he was 20 and has always made sure Bloom knew the dangers of fire, which ended up helping when it turns out she has fire magic. After the whole Princess deal gets discovered Bloom resorts to spending her winters with Mike and Vanessa (who she always considers her “parents parents”), and the springs at the Domino Castle. Bloom teaches them both the most basic of spells whenever she visits, and it has helped in their respective jobs.

Oritel Silvanus Ferreaum-Drazul, Marion Celosia Drazul, and the late Linus Xavier Lissen-Drazul: Linus’s Daphne’s dad and Marion’s original husband, who were an arranged marriage. They got along incredibly well and they were best friends, but it was never a full-blown love. Linus died during an avalanche when Daphne was 11, and 5 years later Marion married Oritel, who she met as a member of the Company of Light. After 4 years of marriage they had Nina (Bloom), and were shortly after imprisoned in Obsidia as statues. Marion is the Queen Regent, Oritel and Linus were/are consorts. Bloom is still awkward around them, and sticks to calling them Mother and Father. Oritel ends up kind of a mess at seeing his daughter being a young adult when they properly meet and Marion has to somewhat reign him in sometimes. Marion is an Altheix Sorceress, her title being the Sorceress of the Dragon’s Roar (Source of Sound with auxiliary Wind), while Oritel acts as the head of the military, hence the armor details in his formal king outfit. He has a Metal Source, while Linus had an Earth Source but was never formally trained in magic.

Anthonius Lixtro-Smith and Audra Smith: Original names were Electronio and Magnethia, changed to be a bit more human. They both work as freelance industrial designers and engineers, usually working for the bigger companies and are very well off as a result. Tecna takes most of her looks from her dad but her natural hair color - her original dye attempt was green, but her spell failed and got pink instead, and liked it enough that she kept it. Both of them know a bit more magic than the average non-Caster, but it’s not enough for them to go get a proper license and as such they skate by technicalities.

Alyssa Benedetta-Robledos and Rodolfo Ernesto Robledos: Rodolfo’s original name was Rhodos, changed for personal reasons. They work at the Lynphean Magiwolf Sanctuary, with Alyssa acting as the ranger and Rodolfo the veterinarian. Rodolfo is the Fairy of Wolves, and uses his Silvestrix magic to enhance his medical training when tending their patients. They homeschooled both Flora and Miele until they were 11 and 8 respectively, and teached them both ways to defend and heal themselves if they ever got in trouble. Amarok acts as both pet and help, acting as “ambassador” for any wolf that enters the sanctuary to help them acclimate to the place. Alyssa also assists via potion-making, and has a passive Poison Source.

Lu Huan (formerly Xun Huan) and Lu Marina: Ho-Boe and Matlin/Wa-Nin were terrible racist puns I am disposing of them they fucking suck okay? okay. Marina worked as a singer for private and public events and Huan helped her with instruments, as well as running an instrument shop on the side. They met by accident during one of Marina’s events and started dating shortly after. They had two kids, a boy named Jian and five years later, Musa. They never were rich but they had enough to live happily with some frivolities sprinkled in once in a while, and they always got to play music together. Marina died when Musa was 14 of a magic-resistant virus, who ate away her Aura and made her inmune system fully collapse, her own magic unable to sustain her. Her death threw the family in dissaray, and while Jian got a job shortly after to make ends meet, they went through some rocky years. They managed to stay afloat, and started to stabilize shortly before Musa left for Alfea. Huan and Marina loved each other very much, and while he knows she would encourage him to seek out love again, he doesn’t feel ready. Marina was an Enchantress, the Enchantress of Music, and wore her sash in her casual attire as a belt often. Musa carries her title as a Fairy in her honor.

Teredor Bahari van Amstel and Niobe Saran van Amstel (née Citrone): Aisha’s parents, they’re very strict and stick to the Androsian traditions, which ends up as an accidental source of strife for their daughter. Niobe is more lenient with her, but does want her to be married to Nabu as fast as possible and has a hard time when both Aisha and Nabu reject the arrangement. Teredor is far more strict, but mellows out after Aisha comes back from the Siege of Alfea, and starts trying to understand her daughter better. Teredor is Ligea’s twin brother, and is a Caster, more specifically the Druid of the Coast, with powers over sand and wind, shown in his formal King attire.

Radius Solaris Oriol and Luna Azura Argentis: Their marriage was arranged by their parents, and while they were in a similar situation to Marion and Linus, their friendship turned into spite as the years went by. They divorced when Stella was 14, and remained single for a few years. Luna still acts as the Queen of Solaria, per their arrangements, and even if Radius remarries they will only act as supportive consort. Luna starts dating Allan Damarte around the time Stella starts her original first year at Alfea, and they have been a stable couple since. Count Alessandro Mirthos of Vespero, in contrast, had been secretly courting Radius a few months after the divorce, originally just Radius’s rebound before it developed into love. When Stella’s Princess Ball arrives, they announce their engagement, and will end up marrying in a few years. Alessandro has a daughter from a previous marriage, a somewhat spoiled girl called Carmilla, nicknamed Chimera. Luna is the Cosmix Witch of the Winter Moon with power over ice, while Radius is the Cosmix Fairy of the Summer Sun with power over fire. Alessandro is also a Caster, shown through his sash, and his title is Caster of Relaxation, focusing on potion-making aided by his Healing Source.
