me when i see that pic of tao giving aran a buzz cut: 😳😳😳

Aren’t they cute together???

☁️🍦🍄?

☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?

Basically, I'm ginger and a taff (Welsh person. Technically, I'm a Gog which is a Walian but my buds called me it in uni and it sort of stuck.)

🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate

I hate Tristan in Arthurian BUT equally, I do think the fact that he's excellent at music, stupid because he used his name backwards as a disguise, and also just really loves Isolde, are all really cool.

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

Headcanoning that Taran and Eilonwy from the Chronicles of Prydain show their affection by ripping the piss out of each other. Also when they want to get away from royal duties they go to a little farm that they own.

who is Taran and what is the soul sword? Are those hands souls?

(is so excited to talk abt him rn dhbdb)

Taran is the main character in a fantasy story I'm working on! He becomes the bearer of the soul sword which is like Excalibur inspired magical chosen sword type thing that when it choses a hero it servers the soul from the body and takes it within the sword giving the hero powers but also limitations. The eyes and hands are to represent all the previous 'chosen ones' souls who stay trapped in the sword after their deaths to act as mentors to the next bearer

5, 18, 19, 26!

5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?

Probably Ariadne?? She's got a really fun sense of style, and I love drawing all her outfits and hairdos. She's also the sort of heroine that I like seeing that doesn't compromise her femininity while also being a leader, and we need more of that tbh 😌

18. Any OC crackships?

The Demagogue and Xi. Let's just say it's a good thing that there's a couple hundred years separating their stories, otherwise they'd get together and burn the galaxy down 8'D

19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)

Lon started out as a very VERY side character in the WIP before I started to get to know him more, and entwined his story and goals with the main cast; he's more of a main character now because of that. He's pretty important to me since he's one of my most relatable characters--at least for myself!--who struggles with feelings of inadequacy and helplessness that can make him spiral if he doesn’t talk it out with people who care about him...which is true for me too :')

26. Have you ever had to change your OC’s design or something else about them against your will?

Probably Taran/Tau, at least when I was redesigning the old character I was basing him off of! He was looking too much like a Corvan sibling at first, so I had to change his hair color from dark to copper. I was on the fence at first, but it's grown on me since! (initial design below, before I took the volume away from his hair too and nixed the scar LOL)

 “eavesdrop”  - Taran / Natalie bwahaha

send me “eavesdrop” and my muse will describe your muse like they’re talking to a third party.

"That slimy little- the stupid beer stains aren't coming out! Ugh! This was my favorite shirt to go partying in! If I ever run into that... that jerkwad again, I'm kicking him in the groin until he can only sing soprano!"

"i'm out of time" || @thedaschosen [ Taran ]

"Bullshit!" Regin hisses, vicious and desperate, even as she twists the spell into being, dragging a barrier into existence across Taran's skin. It's a modified one; trying to protect him from the backlash, the power and the shrapnel that keeps tearing into him every time the Anchor discharges.

More and more often, as the Anchor becomes more powerful and less stable by the minute.

He's going to die. They all know it. Regin knows it, even though the idea of giving up, of just letting him be torn apart to fade into nothing, whilst the great powers of Southern Thedas squabble over his bones like vultures at a carcass.

Her head bends forward, and she lays her hand on Taran's shoulder, taking a shaking breath as she floods him with healing magic- again, the fifth time in the day, since they'd found the Viddasala's stronghold. He's wearing down, and she's burning herself out trying to keep him together.

Regin takes in a sharper breath- the magic twists to her will again, and the healing energy attaches to the barrier. It's a clever trick; for a short time, the two spells will feed one another, protecting him from harm- until the anchor either exceeds the spell's limit, or something else causes so much damage that it can't keep up. The glyphs shimmer like green wind around his skin for but a moment, before vanishing entirely and fading to the sight.

Regin's golden-green gaze meets his, mouth pressed into a thin line. "We're going to find S-" Even now, she struggles to say his name, to talk about him. But her feelings aren't important, right now. Taran's life is. "We're going to find Solas," she says then, more steadily as she buries the pain, buries the fear an the longing. "And he'll... We'll intercept the Viddasala before she can hurt him. And he'll help you. I know he will." Even if they can't get Solas to return with them; this one thing she's sure in.

He won't just allow this to kill Taran. Not like this.

"Come on. We've got to catch her. And her saarebas."

orchid, papyrus?

orchid ⇢ what’s a song you consider to be perfect? Maybe not perfect, but this is the song that's been stuck in my head lately

papyrus ⇢ if you put your ‘on repeat’ playlist on shuffle, what’s the first song that comes up? what do you like about it / associate it with?

Honestly it's just a vibe. Also I've sorta got a witch/familiar au so...

[unit-zero-two]

It’s interesting to me that when Reed’s EN voice was shown off there was annoyance/disappointment from people about her not having an Irish accent. Then we get to the new event and we find out that it’s a plot point. Reed very explicitly sounds like a Victorian, not a Taran. Until she speaks/sings Taran no one knows that she’s a Taran. She’s a minority passing as the majority. She’s assimilated. Even when it’s revealed that she’s Taran, she’s still treated as separate due to the implied class privilege that allows her to speak like she does.

I love how this helps to emphasize the ongoing theme/question of the event, “What makes someone a Taran?” They talk repeatedly about how the Taran language has been widely obliterated. Their stories relegated to folk tales and avant garde art that’s seen as revolutionary. The Victorians have removed all bits of culture that makes a Taran, and spread them from their homeland through Victoria. In this situation, how could they know who else is a Taran? How could they know they’re a Taran? The Tarans have been made into an underclass with the majority of them poor. Their cultural struggle has become a class struggle and it is through this lens that many see themselves as “Taran”. Is the person who runs the factory that grinds up Taran lives for a better profit margin still Taran? What about the nobles who fund Taran art but otherwise speak the Victorian tongue, wear their clothes and otherwise ignore the plight of the Tarans? What makes Reed Taran? And how does this affect whether she’s qualified to lead the Tarans to salvation?

It also handily plays into how no one who doesn’t know to look for it doesn’t recognize her as a Draco. If Reed doesn’t call herself a Draco and own the flames inside of her, then is she still a Draco? What really makes a Draco and a Vouivre different? This event is a struggle for identity, and doesn’t really have answers to these questions. But it still provides a certainty with the path forward for our characters, and maybe that’s more important than answering these questions?

On a side note, I love the point where a character grumbles about the three stupid Vouire standing up for each other, but only one of the characters is actually a Vouivre.

Hi! I was wondering if you have any tips on how to learn anatomy? Any art books or videos you can recommend, maybe? Your anatomy is so so great, absolute kudos to you for that. <33

thank you!!! and to answer your question, i mostly study how artists draw anatomy! and i really recommend: taran fiddler

josh black esp this video! and tbh, i study from my mutuals on twitter too! BUT for those complicated poses, i use csp to rig the poses and lighting (if i plan to shade, that is, which is rare)

The Black Cauldron🐦‍⬛⚔️

🥀⚔️🥀 "Although an imaginary world, Prydain is not too different from our real one…Even in a fantasy realm, growing up is accomplished not without cost." - LLoyd Alexander twitt// bsky

The 2nd book is filled with much grief. But it's very important to see the changes of the characters that come to this fate and those who live on. Especially those like Ellidyr who was a rather uncouth character but the perfect foil to Taran. His harsh sacrifice and Adaon's sad fate are both two events that stay with me.

"Your horse carries a difficult burden. And so do you," Adaon said. "What burden do I carry?" cried Ellidyr, bristling. "Last night I dreamed of us all," Adaon said…."You I saw a black beast on your shoulders. Beware, Ellidyr, lest it swallow you up." "And I?" Taran asked. "What did your dream tell of me?" "You," answered Adaon, "you were filled with grief." -The Black Cauldron

Episode 14 clear!

And there we go. The climax to our Arc 2 plotline, finished. As usual, gameplay thoughts above the cut, story thoughts below. I feel like there isn't actually much to talk about with the gameplay in chapter 14. The new mechanic of Active Orignium storms is interesting at least; tiles will have Pollution, and a nasty storm that gets stronger and larger each time it touches them circles the map. Plus, some enemies benefit from being in or crossing the storm. The Beacons being used to steer the storm is neat, but the deployable beacon only shows up in 3 stages, so outside of puller/pusher strats there's not much interaction with it. There is a very cute moment in 14-1 where a large number of Originium Slugs look at the Originium Storm and just run away. An 'even speedwagon is afraid' moment. The second half of the mechanics, dealing with the Revenants on the airship and in the Assimilated Universe, doesn't stand out as much to me. You basically have swarms of lil' baby units you want to keep separate from the main units, or they'll eat the small guys to empower their attacks. Works well enough in the main stages but frustrates me in HI-2 because of the sheer quantities of mans they start out with; it ends up feeling like something that really WANTS you to have massive AOE DPS. Special mention to the new flying Chalice enemies, which absorb a portion of the damage suffered by all enemies in an aura around them, have giant HP pools, and 0 defence. And you know what that means:

On to the story. Spoilers abound!

Episode 14's story is long. It has to juggle the resolution for the Self-Salvation Corps, Siege, The Followers, the Taran rebellion, and also the RI gang going up to stop Theresa. It juggles all these plotlines...okay. I felt I came away from it all with more questions about 'Theresa' 's goals and motivations than answers. Okay, high points! First off, chapter 14-10 has an amazing cutscene in it, where the narration talks about the struggles of different members of the Exemplars to get Siege to the 'stone of the sword'. As it does so the image pans up, scrolling as Siege and the sword advance, the narration shifting to the different members of the Exemplars as it does so. The full piece is amazing:

my cinematography! A high point of the story.

Okay, since I know I get a ton of non-arknights players reading these, I'll warn you in advance that this isn't really a full summary of the story, of everything that happens in chapter 14. But I will drill down a bit on one bit, because people make a lot of memes about her and I think she's one of the more interesting parts, and that's Priestess.

Priestess was first mentioned in chapter 8, RI's ship has an AI called 'PRTS', and the map interface has 'Eyes of Priestess' written along the bottom. She (in as much as she has a gender) has been haunting the background of the game, and we don't really learn much about her until Babel and then again now. Back in chapter 8, she's someone who holds Doctor's hand as Doc goes into the Sarcophagus for the first time, and says this:

Well, we've given the writers a few more years to figure out what they want to do with her, and they've landed on some fun stuff! Priestess only appears in person after the airship contacts the originium crystal Ammannan, with everyone being almost instantly devoured by crystals. Like, doc sees this:

And then comes to rest in a dark room with Priestess. Storywise, Priestess is the only known surviving precursor other than Doctor. But she isn't out there 'in the flesh' ; she seems to exist as a digital consciousness inside Originium. And while Doc doesn't remember their past, she does - including their civilization's last struggle before its death, and the decisions they made as a result.

In Priestesses' telling (Which may not be accurate - other characters have disagreed), Originium is a record of their civilization to leave far beyond the disaster passes. The harm that it may cause to other civilizations along the way is irrelevant; it is THE solution, and all those other societies were going to die anyways.

She's very devoted to Doctor, having been with them for a long time; she describes her first introduction of herself as:

"My name is Priestess, a linguist. I am researching the final sound waves emitted by planets as they die. I like quietly spending my time alone, but I also wanted to find someone to explore the universe with."

and it's unclear just how long they were together, but their transhuman hyperspace adventures clearly spanned quite a while. Back in Babel there's a line where Doc references the 'billions of lives lost' in the search to an answer for that disaster, and we also get a firm answer for how long Doc was in stasis before Theresa awakened them: 13,021.9 years [BB-ST-2]. Priestess has been sleeping within Originium for at least that long, and this is where we get to the final neat leg of Priestess's character; her patience and supreme confidence that things will go her way. See, Priestess is an antagonist. From what we know so far, she wants to see Originium flood over the surface of Terra, converting all the life on its surface. She wants Doc to give up and retreat into despair. But Priestess is also loving and affection to Doctor, in the calm way of a long life, and she's confident she knows what Doctor will do. Her words before parting in 14-19 sum it up well.

It's calm, welcoming, caring. But there's a manipulative quality to it, right? Amiya and Kal'tsit are 'doubts'. The entirety of Doc's involvement in the surface world is 'grand rhythms and minute pulsations' destined to fall into silence. At the same time she's far from a standard anime yandere, as she doesn't actually do anything to stop Doc's involvement in the surface world, and wishes them well as they go. After all, why not? She's immortal, and so is Doctor. She can be patient. You will return to her side. ... Okay, some last notes. It's really funny that in the Assimilated Universe, the 'The Matrix' - like construct inside Originium, Logos the words and grammar wizard intuitively understands that the place 'has its own grammar' before Kal'tsit tells him to not study it too deeply. My man got put in a computer and almost instantly was thinking on how to hack it. The Follower's drama with Shining and her dad (sorry I am not copying those names over) is very abstract but I think I get it after a while. Poor Liz, I hope she can find a happy life. Also as Arknights is a game by otaku who definitely read Fate/Stay Night, if your dad is a Matou Zouken you are obligated to kick his ass with your girlfriends. It'll be really hard! But you gotta do it. Finally, I actually have this book on my back shelf, 'Great Mambo Chicken and the Transhuman Condition'. A sort of study of scientists poking at ways to live in space and survive the heat death of the universe and all that, with a bit of a lens of 'aren't these guys kooky' if I remember correctly. It's been over a decade since I last cracked it open. BUT I do remember that the segment on how to survive Heat Death introduces, as one concept, creating a virtual world that would slow its clock rate down as the usable energy lowers, extending the last few perceived seconds of its inhabitants into infinity. Given the literal demons Arknights has in the form of Collapsals I think the disaster that befell Priestess and Doctor is somewhat more direct, but it was neat to see digital arks as a long term survival method again. "Until the stars fall", huh.

Summary: How Alice Liddell first became a mother. Trigger warnings: child abandonment, technical kidnapping, lying, swearing, etc. Hazel and Artie are from The Sword in the Stone. Taran and Eilonwy are from The Black Cauldron. Marie, Calla, Aquarianne, and Cavin are from Adventures of the Gummi Bears. Alexander, Pinocchio, and Lampwick are from Pinocchio. Reese Jenkins is from Disney Descendants. Alice Liddell is from Alice in Wonderland. Tiger Lily is from Peter Pan. Smitty is from Dumbo.

Made for @casinotrio1965 .

A glance was exchanged between Pinocchio and Lampwick. 

Then Lampwick and Alexander.

Then Alexander and Taran. 

Then Taran and Hazel. 

Then Hazel and Artie. 

Then Artie and Smitty. 

Then Smitty and Marie. 

Then Marie and Calla. 

Then Calla and Aquarianne.

Then Aquarianne and Cavin. 

Then Calvin and Reese Jenkins. 

Then Reese Jenkins and Eilonwy.

And then, finally, a look was exchanged between Eilonwy and Tiger Lily until finally, the Neverlandian warily spoke up—realizing that no one else was willing to do it.  “Alice?”

The blonde hummed from the rock she was sitting on in their forest ‘hideout’ (which was just a little aways from Auradon University). Not looking up from the small bundle in her arms that had every one of her friends (not to mention her poor boyfriend, Pinocchio) filled with dread. “Yes?”

“Whatcha got there?”

The twenty year old didn't miss a beat. “A baby.” 

“ Who's baby?” Eilonwy asked, sharply before Tiger Lily or anyone else, could.

“My baby.”

Pinocchio yelped and started counting on his fingers, only for Lampwick to elbow him in the side. 

“We would have known if you were pregnant, Alice. Who's baby is it, really? ” Tiger Lily crossed her arms, just as Eilonwy herself did so. 

The blonde shot her a glare. “She is mine! I found her, that makes her mine. She's just as much mine as you guys' children are yours!”

“You weren't pregnant so WHERE did you get it?!”

“ Her. I got her from the barrage, okay?!”

“THE BARRAGE?!”

Alice rolled her eyes at everyone’s reactions. “Yes, the barrage.”

Pinocchio swallowed. “The… the one that brings supplies to the isle of the lost every day—”

“ —and the isle where people like the coachmen live?” Alexander asked, pale. 

“Yes, that barrage and yes that isle.”

Lampwick, Eilonwy, and Reese swore. And they were the only ones.

"Alice, what the fuck—”

And Tiger Lily? She lost it. “WHAT WERE YOU—”

Alice shushed her as the baby started to cry. 

------------------------------------------------------------

It was a story that all of them swore to take to their graves after that day. 

And after that day, if anyone asked who the baby girl belonged to, all fourteen of them would give the exact same answer: Alison Ludovica Liddell, daughter of Alice Liddell and Pinocchio Collodi-Rossi-Liddell. 

Or, Ally, for short.

I CANNOT DRAW. You see chat, I can’t draw, so I need to think of ways to share my TWST oc with the world. So instead of learning how to draw, I’ll be doing it the best way I know how: In Depth Character Analysis!

Part 1 — Basic Character Information / Relationships

Part 2 — Everything to do with her Unique Magic

Part 3 — Lore

Part 4 — Appearance

Part 3 ➤

LORE.

I love it, you probably love it. (At least I would hope so if you’re still reading this.) Lore is what makes up any good storyline. And makes up even better character because all characters have a backstory! Even if it’s something completely rudimentary. Not every backstory has to be completely tragic. But I am inclined to make my OC (Cyrielle) go through the wringer. So that’s what we’re doing!

Lets start off with some explanation about the movie she is inspired from though, shall we?

The Black Cauldron~!

Now, The Black Cauldron is framed around a young boy who dreams of being a hero. But is in charge of taking care of a pig instead. As it turns out, the pig can create visions and The Horned King (the main antagonist) wants that pig so he can find The Black Cauldron.

The Black Cauldron was the prison/death sentence type deal used to rule over the mystical land of Prydain. He was so good at being evil that everyone was scared of him, even the gods. So when they put him in this cauldron it made the cauldron evil. So now whoever finds it can grant themselves a bunch of power by summoning an undead army. The problem is The Cauldron takes up a lot of power and ends up actually consuming The Horned King at the end because it truly can’t be controlled.

So let’s straighten out one thing, which character is Cyrielle based off of???

Taran, the pig keeper and protagonist? No.

Princess Eilonwy? No.

Dallben? No.

The Creeper or Gurgi? Definitely not.

The Horned King? Surprisingly no.

The Black Cauldron and The Emperor Inside of it whom we barely know any past lore of because the movie doesn’t really tell you anything besides how evil he was? DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!

Now, while the Cauldron played great inspiration in her Unique Magic (check out Part 2 for that grand explanation) Her character isn’t precisely based ON the emperor. No. She plays OFF of him.

Cyrielle, as explained by her upcoming lore, acts as a sort of explanation as to how The Emperor (Teivel, as I named him.) ties into the world of TWST and sort of just how his legacy played out. Granted. She is still connected to him, a fact I will elaborate on later.

But now that we have that explained lets move onto phase one—

World-building!

World building is important here because I somehow have to manage to literally input the entirety of Prydain somewhere in the TWST-verse.

Now we don’t have names of continents per se, we just have the names of Nations which are on those continents and then places in those kingdoms like- you have The Queendom of Roses but inside the Queendom of roses are villages and cities like Clocktown.

Or in the Shaftlands you have characters from Harveston or Fleur City IN THE SHAFTLANDS. So most of characters are only identified by the nations/kingdoms they hails from instead of the villages. No clue how those Nations/Kingdoms are positioned geographically or how they link up.

But from what I can tell from the Wiki and a now inactive blog (thank you @twstarchives, you are my saving grace.)

They do take up entire if not certain sections of a land mass, except for The Coral Sea obviously because that going to be part of a larger ocean instead of land. Like how the North Atlantic Ocean connects to the Caribbean sea.

[ For those wondering the difference between a Sea and Ocean, here’s the summary of a googled answer:

Oceans — Larger, Deeper, more open divisions of earths salt water, typically higher salinity levels.

Seas — Smaller parts of the ocean, located where land & ocean meet, usually partially enclosed by land, shallower, lower levels of Salt.]

So I’m basically throwing darts at a board here. Except I have no idea where anything else is located. So what better idea than to just have it to not exist!

Prydain simply just won’t exist. Also. Another good reason for just not having it exist will be because at the beginning, as she and Crowley are searching for Prydain. It will make it harder to find information and throw them off the trail, red herring style, even though Prydain will still, at one point have existed in TWST wonderland.

And what better a place to put in than the Shaftlands.

“ A large country with a diverse population. Because it's comprised of several different biomes, it's home to a variety of cultures. ”

In the Black Cauldron we see a grand shot between different area. There is a drastic change between the farm at the start, The Forbidden Forest, and the land where The Horned King resides which is sort of like an Alpine Tundra. So given the difference between all there places and the fact the Shaftlands is described as large. I’m gonna say that it’s sort of towards the Northwest as pure North is very snowy according to Jack’s Wish/Birthday card but we don’t see a lot of snow. So Northwest it shall be!

That leaves me with explaining how Prydain became a lost Kingdom. And just as The Black Cauldron was never really a popular Disney film in its time, I’m going to say it worked the same for Prydain. Prydain. may have been well-known, but as time progressed it grew smaller and many of its people branched off to go to different lands or just generally lost itself. So as these people naturally went away from Prydain, along with a bit of land change from the elements over the years. There isn’t much to be noted about the lost kingdom as there wasn’t much left behind from it besides a few legends, records, and buildings. And most documents and writings left behind probably would be unable to be translated. As many of them would many be in a lost common tongue.

So thats taken care of! Onto phase two,

The Legends and Lore!

Now of course, all the villains and hero’s featured in Twisted wonderland some long, long time ago. So that’s the same for all the characters featured in The Black Cauldron. So obviously The tale of Taran, The Horned King, and The Cauldron is well known. And is probably one of the legends that was best kept alive because of how directly it impacted Prydain as a nation.

Still lesser known, but not entirely forgotten!

Which brings us to how The Cauldron, or Teivel, and Cyrielle are related. I mentioned earlier there wasn’t a direct inspiration from the cauldron in her personality. More so in her ability. Now why is that?

Because she’s meant to both reflect and go against him.

I’m adding a legend to Prydain’s catalog:

~ The Princess and The Thief

“ Long ago, in the faraway land of Prydain there was rumored to be a King so cruel, so evil that even the gods feared him. As no prison would hold him, he was thrown alive into a crucible of molten iron. There, his demonic spirit was captured in the form of a great Black Cauldron.

The King had no wives, though his mistresses were many. And with one he had a child. A princess who at the time was but just a babe. But, just in case she had inherited his evil heart, she was cast away into a manor deep within The Forbidden Forest. Through trees so thick and under the canopy so dark not even the bravest soul would dare venture in.

However, no one dared to consider that even a brave soul would not enter, a foolish one certainly would. A young lady, who laid claim to the keep of gold of an ex-nobles by trickery was the first and last of the fools. She took her goods as the good-men chased her down. Ducking into the forest on the whim no one would dare follow. Her whim was correct though it cost her much.

Loosing her gold to the vicious forest she had no chance but to re-treat. The forest forbade it, growing and churning to keep her inside as she ran in endless circles. Until, instead of the end, she came upon a grody manor to which she let herself inside with no hesitance. Wonder her delight when she found that the inside had been far kinder. Orante walls and Avant-Grade Roofs. Imagine her surprise when at the top of the stairs, peering down at her, was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen— ”

I’ll cut the story off there for everyone’s sanity but to summarize the rest The Theif (Named Verity) and The Princess (Named Enora) begrudgingly start to form a friendship to which Verity promises to help Enora escape her fate [to reside in the manor for the rest of her life] because she doesn’t want to live forever in punishment for her fathers crimes. But the son of the Nobleman whom imprisoned Enora in the manor gets word of it and sends one of his best hunters after them.

The girls attempt to navigate the seemingly endless manor through multiple magic rooms but end up having to lock themselves in the clock tower. In one last culmination, they both decide they know what they have to do. Locking themselves in a kiss as the Hunter breaks through the door. Though what he finds on the other side is two girls, clasped in each other’s arms, a sword through both their hearts as their bodies slowly eroded into nothing but blood. Which then began to form a different woman from both their forms, she removes the sword from her chest, kills the hunter. Then leaves. Disappearing nameless into legend.

As you could guess, the woman formed is Cyrielle. Though she had no recollection of these memories herself and memories she does have of her past actually fake (though no one knows that yet).

It’s a generational process of cycle-breaking.

Teival is the one who does the crimes. He does not feel sorry for anyone, and even trapped inside the Cauldron he will remain wicked.

Enora has to pay for them just as he does despite being innocent, having others fear her and her power simply because she was the daughter of a cruel man. All she wants is a life her own. Undecided by fate and fear.

Cyrielle is the one meant to break it. She is the creation of love between Enora and Verity even during their fates, having but one purpose but to do what they couldn’t, break free from fate. Still. Cyrielle is cursed just like Enora was.

She has Teival’s blood running through her veins just as Enora did. Only now it is less, only now is it covered by the spite that came from love. She can bleed out however much she likes but she will always be the granddaughter of Teival until the world decides she is not that, but just Cyrielle.

Teival’s Lamb. It was once the unique Magic Enora had. Now it is Cyrielle’s. The haunting reminder of their own power drags them back to their Father/Grand-father. Anytime they bleed, they can make it into something else, even something used for good. But will always feel evil because they have bled for it. Bled for it because it is his.

So that brings me to phase three;

Why and how is she at NRC?

Cyrielle would appear similar to how MC/Yuu does. Dragged to school by the dark mirror because she is filled with power magical abilities. In fact, given the fact the mirror may be even older than the school itself; my whole basis is that it immediately sensed someone equal to Teival’s power had appeared and immediately sent a carriage to retrieve them.

The problem is, Cyrielle doesn’t remember anything and what she does remember is [unknowingly] fake. Why is that you may ask?

Because The Manor is magic, I mentioned that earlier. Even if Enora had managed to escape there certainly would have been more precautions in place in case she did. One being a spell that made her drowsy, possibly making her forget everything that occurred so it was easier to transport her to somewhere back to the manor or somewhere with higher security.

Then Why is she so young then if this happened such a long time ago? I head you ask

She’s young because of the forest and because she, on some level, was literally created via magic. She wasn’t born, she was crafted. Meaning that she had more control over how she appears because just as the appearance of clay can be morphed so can she. She doesn’t realize this though as she would spend most time after the manor ordeal trying to find a way out of the forest. So long, that it would be modern day by the time she exited. Only to be subdued by magic that made her forget all that struggle.

And now that I’ve answered your questions let’s move into more of Why she’s there, shall we?

Now. The simple reason to the mirror would be ‘Hey. There was just a weird spike in really powerful magic energy. We should probably get that person an invite.’ And it did.

The more lore-complex, my reason, is because it’s a school of villains. The people here embody on some level what Cyrielle is trying to escape from. (Not that she knows that, *cough* amnesia *cough*).

So what better way to have her do that then to have her also make everyone go on a journey of self-exploration with her by pointing out their cruddy flaws and giving them some accidental therapy. Even though it’s hard because ninety-eight percent of the student population all suck.

But she’s going to try her best and, hopefully, by the time its over with she can be recognized not by her grandfather but as her own person, get her memories back, not have an identity crisis, get a really awesome boyfriend (Silver), and save some people from their toxic and dangerous qualities!

fuck man I hope the coming days are less shitty after Tasks 😭🤞🏽 goofy lotr ask because spooky season, go-to costumes for the fellowship (and the lads of Rohan as well) in a modern au? And we talked about this a bit in DMs, but for everyone, who in your thinking has tats/what are they 👀

OGH Halloween is so important to me. Extenuating Circumstances make it a Difficult Time Of Year but it is still my favorite holiday. fuck my ex tho

ANYWAYSSSS modern au Halloween costumes :3 (thinkin abt our band au specifically bc that’s where the brain’s at)

I think Legolas + Gimli have definitely done a Frank n Furter/Rocky couples costume situation at least one year. sth sth dwarf sth sth Rocky sth sth puns i think they should be allowed.

I don’t think Aragorn actually puts a lot of effort into a costume I’m gonna be so real w you here snfjshhf I think there’s too many sensory variables at play so he just reuses his ren fest costume. Ranger Comma Generic but at least it’s Safe

Boromir, surprisingly possibly everyone, DOES go all out. Halloween Sacred Tradition To Trans Ppl(tm) he would 100% commit wholeheartedly to the bit for Faramir’s sake + it feels weird NOT to do sth. fully coordinates w Faramir even tho he’s away at college. Inigo Montoya to Faramir’s Westley, Prince Lír to his Schmendrick, Gwydion to his Taran, et cetera et cetera et cetera.

On that note, Faramir is the kid who went as his favorite character that year REGARDLESS of how popular they were and half the time nobody even fucking recognized his costume. absolute tragedy

Sam, Rosie + Frodo generally coordinate couples costumes. always very cute + well-made, very rarely store-bought. lots of fantasy-inspired stuff!

I’d come up w a serious answer for Merry and Pippin but it’s taking all my willpower not to just go “middle earth version of this” and add the fake Spirit “never again” costume < this has been in my drafts for SO long. anyways. This

Théodred actually goes for the classics. Did a headless horseman photoshoot one year, loves a good vampire or Frankenstein’s monster too.

Éomer actually does scary. any excuse to mess around w the sfx makeup and fake blood. Fully willing to buy a costume from the store but will 100% modify it; sometimes you just don’t have the time or energy to build a costume from scratch

Éowyn, like Aragorn, cannot honestly be assed, she fully just wears a partial harness of armor. It works in her favor bc nothing pulls lesbians like rocking up to the Halloween party in plate, and then demonstrating she can indeed pick you up with one arm while wearing 100-ish pounds of metal.

also Tattoos...... HMMMMM

honestly i do not have. a lot of ideas rn?? but this has been in my drafts for SO LONG and i want to post it;;;;;;

Aquila/eagle constellation for Aragorn for obvious reasons + a lot of black linework/pointillism tattoos. see below

i think Éomer having tattoos in the style of runestones or godmasks is. really fucking cool. definitely a full back piece

+ transmasc Théodred my most beloved. gets runes under his scars. most likely poetic kennings bc i like the idea of Théodred loving skaldic poetry < sth accenting the scars tho, not hiding them

Faramir on the other hand gets actual coverups. sth nature related, im quite fond of these

(boromir gets sth in the american traditional style at the same time. moral support tattoo sjfhskjf)

Welcome to the official blog of my gigantic Disney crossover fanfic!!

What is it, you may ask? Well, to put it simply, it's a crossover of every single Disney movie (and most shows) designed to answer the question of how would they all work as one story, and what would that story be?

Well, here's my (very long) attempt!

Starting off with Book 1: When You Wish Upon a Star, we focus on 4 main stories:

1. The Black Cauldron (re-write): Taran of Caer Dallben learns of the beauty and ugly nature of humanity in a war that holds the fate of magic.

2. Frozen Moon (Sequel crossover of Tangled and Frozen): Set after Frozen II and Tangled the Series, Cassandra goes on a journey of redemption when a secret force threatens the spirits of magic and the seasons.

3. Marcus and The Agents of D.I.S.N.E.Y in The Atlantis Complex (OC): In the 1960's, a young man named Marcus joins a secret organisation designed to protect magic. Alongside Jane Darling, he must solve a dispute between Atlantis and Atlantica.

4. Big Hero 7 (sequel): set after Big Hero 6: The Series, Hiro Hamada tries to fix the eternal loop of super heroism, but he has no idea what he's done...

Updates once a week when possible, but art and writing take time, so there will be plenty hiatuses.

I truly hope you enjoy, it's a labor of love I've worked on for years! I accept any asks and engagement (it really helps motivation too)!

This blog will mainly be used to: promote the story and notify of new chapters, show the art my sister makes for it, answer questions, reblog any and all art or posts about it (I know that's unlikely but let an author dream) and just serve as a hub for my passion project!

Thank you and enjoy the ride!

Taran: Solar Surfing looks like fun, can I try?

Jim: Uh, that's probably not a good idea, Taran. You tend to be kind of reckle-

Dallben: THE ANSWER IS A HUGE NO, TARAN!

Taran: -puppy dog eyes-

Dallben: Okay Taran, you can try out Solar Surfing, but Jim has to teach you and you better not go in any forbidden areas.

Taran: Don't worry Dallben, I'll be careful.

Jim: I'll make sure of that. I don't want him to end up like what almost happened to me.

[This would be cool to see in a revived House Of Mouse, and I think Jim would do a good job keeping Taran out of trouble]

I would absolute love a revival of "House of Mouse" show! Also, Taran's puppy dog eyes are indeed too much for even the strongest will. ;) Jim would do a good job since he knows how a troublemaker thinks and is determined whenever he sets his mind on something. ;)
