Lattes, essays, and libraries on a rainy day.

Finals may be creeping up on me, but for just a moment, everything is ok.

I woke up randomly at around 5am-ish and then my phone buzzed, I checked it and it was dan posting them dressed up as the ineffable husbands. My brain just knew I needed to be awake for it, not the video - no - but them as Crowley and Aziraphale. And honestly that has hit me harder than the video did lmao

Anyway both the video and costumes were a birthday gift for me personally, thanks lads

my brain: I'm so in Winx mood ✨✨✨

also my brain: let's do a Sera Myu ranking video instead of writing and thinking about Winx 🫶🏼

With the Warrior Nun Commentfic Fest going on, I've put some fic projects on hold in order to focus on writing fills (and on sending a prompt here and there -- I do it anon a lot of the time because when an idea hits I'm away from the computer and not in the mood to log in through my phone 10 out of 10 times, lol).

Still, there's a little handful of stories that came from it and more to come still. I've been archiving them on AO3 with some delay to try and inspire people to check out the fest page (and play along!) but I thought I'd list my entries up until now:

Expectations ( Fest / AO3 ) -- "Not too long ago, Camila herself had been in their very place, surrounded by other anxious rookies, drilled to exhaustion by a very technical, perfect sister Beatrice or a ruthless, demanding sister Lilith." Cam-centric, 836w.

A semblance of normalcy ( Fest / AO3 ) -- Doctor Salvius and Mother Superion have a little dinner date. Doctor Superion, 1953w.

This time might be the last ( Fest / AO3 ) -- The conclusion to war can only ever be one (Camilith drabble).

Needlework ( Fest / AO3 ) -- "She should have grown used to it already, being punctured by Mother Superion’s vicious eyes rather than teased by Suzanne’s as so often she had been before." Shannon/Suzanne, 1916w.

Liquid courage ( Fest / AO3 ) -- Jillian and Mother Superion get a bit drunk together. Doctor Superion, 492w.

Litany in blue ( Fest / AO3 ) -- After Mother Superion is seriously hurt, Dr. Salvius is the one to heal her through unorthodox means. Doctor Superion, 2527w.

English Opening ( Fest / AO3 ) -- Kristian Schaefer, fresh from out the Vatican archives, arranges for a first meeting with Dr. Salvius. Gen, 832w.

There's a bunch of other great stuff by other people to check out, though, so I heartily recommend taking a look around on the fest page!

Day 25

Lauren redesign/take on her design! Here's the finished piece with details about my decisions and reference pics in keep reading as always!

(masterpost)

So this design might look like my least thought out one considering it has the least concept art but fear not I just a massive fan of the og design and generally the vibe of it so it wasn't hard to find a design I liked.

I gave her a much more simplistic look, still massively drawing from my maximalist nature but simple. She doesn't have earrings or jewelry in general and everything that she wears is something you would see someone diy.

She dresses up in what she thinks a witch should look like with little to no actual exposer to them. She has a countryside kind of vibe as she looks closer to someone in a german bakery. Her main colors are brown to enhance this down to earth feel.

I included on the concept art some more desert themed version of the outfits because I was thinking a lot about going all in on the sand in the sand witch so I asked you guys if you guys want something like that considering to actually have a desert outfit I would need to drastically changed her look to have a completely different look.

According to the vote it's not really necessary so I just went with something closer to og design what I would hate wearing in the desert, like seriously it's like 2+ layers cause you would need undergarment as well, you would melt alive, but hey, if Pris can't swim because pretty skirt then Lauren also can have horribly impractical clothes cause pretty.

(maybe she has some heat resistance magic idk? She's a witch, a simple chilly charm should probably work, am I overthinking it? I'm probably overthinking it... But it's my story so who cares)

I made her skirt have this pattern that actually matching with El's (I know her's is not diagonal but I also forgot to give Pris fishnets so expect minimal changes to every design as I forget stuff or change my mind, or in this case realize how much I hade grids but besides my point).

I let her have a lot of bows all around that stayed from the og design and I also kept the sleeves cause I love them.

I didn't really know what do do with her hair, should she have bangs or side hair or parted in the middle, I ended up just sticking with og hair so a kinda weird haircut with side bangs but hey it looks nice and fits her vibe so why change it?

I'm really happy with the shading of this piece btw I just love how it turned out, even though I need to buy a new marker rip magenta marker you'll be missed TT

Here's my main inspos for this (all from Pinterest so I have absolutely no idea of origin):

[kiwiwinjindouche]

I said I'd share some of the voicelines I've stumbled into, and I'm finally posting them (I'm sorry I have such a bad sense of passing time). It's actually nice to hear them without the loudspeakers' white noise.

(English, French and Mexican (for now??))

Personal favorite and easy to get; his little "two" sounds pretty cute in english.

If you're ever curious about the French one; I like it less ngl

I've never, ever heard that one before so I was a bit surprised. There's also one where he talks about his library? anyway, the way he says it is funny

How lovely!!

AND THE MEXICAN JINDOSH HAS MY HEART. I SWEAR

I'm going full cringe when I hear him because???

SIR

don't do that to me i'm not strong enough

Bonus point: tone used when Corvo or Emily is hurt

English ; and I need you all to realize his tone is so different and it makes me go ifjedoswjfjksfkwsjfsjowdjf

Thanks god it's only 10 audios per post on tumblr else I would have rant even more about it tho
