infodump time!

this is for my TOH au, some basic information for the big three of the cast and what their roles are! aaaand maybe also a sketch dump since I have too many pencil drawings of this au...

Dr. Henry Jekyll

Leader of the Secret Society for Wild Magic. Also a part-time potions seller.

After graduation from Hexside, his initial aspiration was to join the Emperor’s Coven. As such, he began trying to test out his magical prowess and became a curse researcher, collecting rare curses (akin to Eda’s) and began looking for cures. While some of his methods proved effective, during this time Jekyll was deeply absorbed into his work and started neglecting his own health, leading Lanyon and Rachel to become very worried for him.

One night, while researching a particularly gruesome curse, Jekyll believed he finally worked out a cure. With no other subjects, he could only test it on himself. Thus, potion in hand, he decided it was a great idea to go curse himself with a cure that he believed was mostly effective.

Lo and behold, that was the first transformation. The curse lashed out in black ribbons, enveloping Jekyll before diving straight into his heart, issuing several screams from the brunette until all that was left was a bundle of loose clothes, shattered glass, scraps of paper leftover from the curse and research, and one tiny blonde gremlin among said loose clothes. Thus, that very night, Hyde was born. A curse that should’ve killed Jekyll, torn his very body apart, taken control over the leftover scraps, now resides in his body as half of himself, shares his memories and would become the mask Jekyll uses to indulge in activities he finds unacceptable for himself to engage in. The potion that failed to cure the curse is now the key to transforming into each other.

With Hyde, Jekyll quickly realised that joining the Emperor’s Coven is no longer a feasible choice for himself and instead, with Lanyon’s help (due to his family being super wealthy and influential) was able to pull some strings and fake a Potions coven sigil, thus taking suspicion off of him while keeping his status as a wild witch.

His palisman is a crow named Crowley. His staff also never initially had the red gem lmao, he stuffed it in himself to try and give it a more sophisticated look. He also has ear piercings! First made just to get Hyde to stop whining, he later decided he may as well wear something, namely tiny black diamond studs.

Mr Edward Hyde

bithc.

Jekyll’s personal “assistant”. A trader and scammer at the Night Market. He often enjoys committing petty crimes and also trades his potions for rare ingredients required for more powerful spells. Sometimes he’d even bring a few of the Lodgers to sell their inventions too, to make sure the Society still has snails to spare for basic necessities. Most of what Hyde earns in the Night Market goes to his nighttime adventures, but whatever’s left by the time he transforms back will be used by Jekyll to keep the lights on in the secret Society. Besides the Night Market, he likes to go drinking at the sketchier parts of Bonesborough, often getting into skirmishes and bar fights. He relies on Jekyll’s magic and rarely ever uses his palisman to avoid divulging his identity. For transportation, he prefers teleportation spells or magic some wings to make a quick escape. No, he’s not a bird beast. I’ve long decided he is not some crow beast or something, he’s just an amalgamation of Jekyll’s worst traits.

He has about the same relationship with Jekyll as in TGS, perhaps even more tense as Jekyll is very concerned about ensuring that Hyde keeps a low profile and does not reveal the fact he’s a wild witch. Hyde hides it about as well as you’d expect, and eventually the information that he doesn’t have a sigil is picked up by the Emperor’s Coven. He’s never gotten caught before though, oh, and he also idolizes Eda the Owl Lady very much, but never goes to find her, since he’s terrified of Hooty.

The oopsy-doopsy arson will still happen, which I will cover eventually but bottom line is it’ll make Belos strengthen efforts into finding and tracing Hyde’s roots. Through the following disagreements and punishment from Jekyll, Hyde learns he can block Jekyll from using his magic for short bursts of time, and eventually with practice, longer periods spanning from hours to days.

He also has silver ring earrings. Every time he transforms he takes the time to take off Jekyll’s plain black diamond studs to replace it with them and I find that funny.

Dr. Robert Lanyon

A master illusionist, one of Jekyll’s closest friends and co-runner of the Society. Also helps around Jekyll’s potions business.

He’s the reason Jekyll was able to stay a wild witch in the first place. He was able to use his Illusion magic to fake a sigil for Jekyll and using his position of power, pulled some strings to prevent the scouts from investigating further. His father is a prosperous Constructions witch who helps Belos strengthen the castle and fortify bases for scouts throughout Bonesborough, earning him a position of high rank in the Isles. Lanyon despises it though, and took Illusions to spite his father, who wanted him to take a more “useful” track in school such as Abominations or Constructions so he would have more job opportunities. Outside attending dinner parties or finishing errands for his father, he does whatever he wants, usually sneaking off to parts of Bonesborough or to the Society to see Jekyll. He doesn’t even necessarily attend dinner parties, often preferring to have an illusion of himself attending. Lanyon Sr pretends not to notice this.

Unaware of Jekyll’s curse, he hated the idea of Hyde being affiliated with him and yet always so dangerously on the brink of exposing his identity as a wild witch, but so long as Hyde continues helping the Society stay afloat and doesn’t get caught, Lanyon keeps his thoughts to himself. That is, until the arson changes everything. While he helps sort out the paperwork and aids Jekyll in keeping the Society hidden, he is not close to any of the Lodgers and prefers to pretend he isn’t associated with them, mostly out of concern and to keep suspicion off him and by extension, his dear friend.

He has the most insane piercings too, with large gold spheres resembling Eda’s, along with two more piercings further up his ears.

also, minor thing but I've finally given this au a proper name lol, it's now called The Crow House after Jekyll's palisman, which is a crow! I've also updated the tag for it in my pinned post so not to worry!

#look who finally made this #I had the idea of what they do etc mapped out so clearly for so long #and yet never made anything for that #well that's changed! there's this now :D #the glass scientists #the crow house au #my art #please ignore the shit formatting i copy pasted it from Google docs #i have no idea how to fix it aaaa #traditional art

What's the opposite of stranger danger?

What if Finn and Jake saw Simon while trying to find Marceline's memory core?

It's… creepy, Finn decides, in the midst of Marceline's past memories. Not the smoking towers and ground covered in all manners of ruin and junk, that he could chill with. The weird electrical rot smell that made the air feel staticy, he could also get used to if given the time. Even Marceline being only what, like seven? He could also get used to it with a little attitude tweaking.

That's not what's creepy for him, though. Not as surprising either.

It's the stranger that frightens him.

"And this!" Little Marcy exclaims, "is Hambo!" She lifts the raggedy plushie up high. "Simon got it for me!" She says proudly, and Finn's head perks up in interest, while Jake scratches the back of his hind leg.

Before either of them can ask who Simon is, as if Marceline's memory has summoned him somehow, the man himself comes around the corner from behind little Marcy. Finn feels himself freeze. The second he makes eye contact with the tall, pale man, it's like something clicks together in his mind's eye. This guy, this Simon, he's… there's something about it, something about him. He knows him, he doesn't know how, but he does.

There's a beat of heavy silence. Simon's eyes, pale blue as glacier ice and intelligent in a wise old owl sorta way, flicker over seemingly every part of Finn and Jake. This makes both boys feel threatened, and at the same time, like they are the one that poses the threat. It's intimidating. The old man's eyes narrow, just a little, when he sees the handle of Finn's sword protruding from his backpack flap. One periwinkle hand comes down to Marcy's tiny shoulder, and scoots her behind him, just a fraction. Finn knows what he's doing. He admires it. It's what he does when he's fighting a monster, or a golem, or a dragon attacking a village. He's protecting her.

It's a wash of confusion when Simon speaks. "Marceline, who are these two? Do you know them?" The man asks her gently, though he doesn't take his spectacled eyes off the intruders for a second. His voice makes Finn's skin prickle. He's heard him before, where has he heard him before?

Marceline, childishly, tries to push past him, but fails when the adult's arm just holds her in place, like a prisoner that can't possibly escape their iron bars. "They're my new buddies, Simon! They're my buds!" Simon still doesn't tear his gaze away from them, but he does tilt his head towards her.

"Your… new friends?" He asks her, his face clearly confused, but more than that, cautious. It makes Finn's skin crawl. He feels like prey, strangely enough. Like he's stumbled into the cave of some great beast, toyed with its young for just a minute too long, and now the monster stares at him with unsaid threats, sizing him up for a fight. Marceline takes the man's hand off her shoulder, and instead brings it to her own, holding it. Only three of his fingers can fit in her tiny palms. "Yeah, they're my bud-buds!" She smiles innocently. "They're like you, Simon, they're, uh— looking for stuff!"

The man doesn't respond immediately. Simon almost glares at them, steely and warning. Finn swallows, and Jake rings his hands out over and over, sweat coating the poor dog's back. After a brief staring contest, one in which both boys lose, the scruffy man lets out a tired sounding huff. Simon closes his eyes, for a moment, before opening them again, kind but exhausted behind his cracked glasses. He looks Finn in the eye, frosty blue to bright cobalt, heavy dark blue bags contrasted with the teen's smooth skin. Finn wonders how long it's been since this man has slept. He seems skinny too, and he wonders how long it's been since he'd eaten anything. A shudder goes down his back. He knows those eyes, he knows that skinny frame, and he doesn't. The look on his face is too lucid, too aware for Ice King. But it's unmistakable. The mane of white hair, the blue skin, the eyes, even his voice. He's softer around the edges, but Finn knows deep in his guts it's Ice King.

"What's your name, son?" Simon says. Finn blinks himself out of his trance, opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water. Simon raises an eyebrow at his stalling. Finn stumbles over his own tongue. "Uh—" he points at himself, "I'm Finn, and that's Jake." He points at Jake, who has his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

He looks to the boy, then to the dog, and allows himself to smile, it is kind and warm, though it doesn't reach his eyes. That makes Finn feel super weird, too. Ice King never smiles like that. The wizard's smiles are always crazy, a little too wide, desperate. Childishly eager to please. "I'm Simon, and, well I'm sure little Marcy's told you her name." He chuckles, ruffling the little girl's dark hair. "Ain't that right, sugarcube?" He teases in a dad-like way.

Marceline's chubby baby cheeks turn bright pink. "Simon! I'm not a baby!" She slaps his shin.

Simon laughs, it sounds nothing like Ice King, but just like him in the same breath. Ice King's laughs are almost always loud, overbearing, like he's trying too hard to sound maniacal. Simon's sound more cushion-y, more tender, he sounds so deeply and unmistakably human that it makes Finn's head do circles. Simon looks at Marcy adoringly, he moves like he might even try to pinch Marceline's cheek, but relents. "Sure you aren't, kiddo." The man looks back to Finn, before his brow furrows, his mouth making a thin line on his drawn-out face. "How old are you? If you don't mind me asking."

Finn sputters again. Why is it so hard talking to this guy? Why is he so polite? "Uhm— I'm thirteen?"

Simon's eyebrows shoot up through his forehead, his mouth agape. "You're only thirteen?!" He nearly shouts, then brings himself down while darting his eyes this way and that, scanning the treeline for anything that might've heard. "Where— I mean, how are you alone? With just your dog? Where's your group, your family, a kid can't be out here all by himself!"

Jake cuts in, "We're here to get to the memory core. You know where that might be?" He sounds impatient, and a little rude even to Finn's ears. Simon looks perturbed, still looking all too worryingly at Finn, before he blurts out a response.

"Well… Marcy, would you know where that could be, sweetie?" He asks the little girl, voice light and gentle as cotton. It makes Finn feel dizzy with whiplash. She considers it for a moment or two, holding onto hambo by a threadbare arm, before her face lights up with realisation.

She points her tiny finger at a cellar door, "that could be the way to my memory core, and it rhymes with cellar door!"

Jake gives Finn a playful punch to the thigh, "Ah yes, finally, I thought we'd be here forever! C'mon Finn, I think I smell ice cream." The dog immediately rushed to the cellar, throwing the rusted doors apart. He looked at his brother expectantly. "Finn, get your butt over here, memory core time!" He pointed an inflated, humongous finger down the doorway.

"Yeah, I'm coming." The boy said, voice a touch more sombre than usual. He was upon the doorway down, ready to jump through what looked like a giant fridge, before a hand meekly touched his shoulder. His head turned, and it was the stranger, looking at him with that same worry, comforting and familiar.

"Hey… Finn, was it?" Finn nodded. Simon took his hand off the boy's shoulder, as if he'd apologised for touching him without words. He looked the kid right in the eye, and it made Finn's heart pick up speed, but not in a bad way. It was like when his mom used to tell him something important, she'd look him right in the eye to let him know how crucial it was, like when she told him how long dinner had left in the oven, or all the things she would do to make sure the monsters under his bed wouldn't get him. "You seem like a good kid, Finn." The old man gave the boy a kind smile that made his eyes crinkle, and the boy's chest felt tight. "Just—" Simon patted Finn's shoulder, his hands felt cool as the shade under a tree, "be careful, alright? Don't get yourself hurt out there."

Finn felt his face go pink. "Yeah, uh, you too." He was hanging off the doorframe by one hand now, a black abyss underneath him, with only a small circle of light at the very bottom. Little Marcy waved at him, a smile full of baby teeth as hambo hung like a lifeline on one of her arms. Finn waved, and gave Simon a goodbye wave, too. He sheepishly waved back. He let go, and dropped out of Marceline's fridge.

"Took you long enough. Hey, look at what I found!" Jake held up a bowl of cherry ice cream, scooping it into his mouth with a ladle formed from his own hand. Finn massaged his forehead, which was glowing a dim white hue. They must be getting closer to the core.

"Hey Jake?"

"Yuh-huh?"

Finn thought about the look on the old man's face, the way his eyes reflected so much awareness, care, even worry, and all over someone he'd just met nonetheless. It left a weird taste in Finn's mouth to think that this person was the same guy who kidnapped princesses on a daily basis. The same guy that not a single person in Ooo liked, but then, that wasn't true, was it? The memory just proved him entirely wrong. Marceline liked him, and Ice King… Simon? Must've loved her back, given how they were together, so close Simon felt the need to potentially shield her from Finn. His chest got that strange, tense, tight sensation again. It didn't seem fair. "I think I'm gonna start hanging out with Ice King more."

"YOU WHAT?!"

niche but Neville and Hannah! I love the little snippets of them we get in Beasts <3

thank you for asking about neville and hannah for this ask game anon and being so nice about how i have tried to include them in beasts :) :) :) the lovely @mimisays8 asked about them too!

hannah and neville are such a lovely fun couple to imagine and think about. i do realise this sounds ridiculous because they canonically interact very briefly once, when neville says harry saved the 'philogical' stone :) and hannah is like wow :) (...) still, though, there are these very small little nods to them having certain things in common and to being cutie patooties in their cores that gives fic writers so much to play with. obviously, neville from day dot is a dweeby nervous deeply unconfident little sweetie pie. in hannah's opening scene, too, she '[stumbles] out of line, [puts] on the hat, which [falls] right down over her eyes', establishing her, too, as a cute nervous flop. when hannah worries about azkaban escapee sirius black, she tells everyone black is disguising himself by turning into a flowering shrub. she's got plants on the brain your honour! it's meant to be. i think it's nice to imagine their dynamic as a couple as being too smiley lovely beans taking it in turns to squeeze the other person's hand reassuringly while pulling each other out of the way of passing buses/puddles etc. (more waffle below the cut)

of course, the slightly sad thing about hannah and neville is that they both spend most of canon feeling awful about themselves. neville, obviously, is neville (he thinks he's good as a squib! baby!). but hannah, for an exceptionally minor character, gets all these wee moments where the reader is told she has very low self-confidence. in ootp, hannah abbott vs owls gets its own tiny subplot. ('All the fifth years were suffering from stress to some degree, but Hannah Abbott became the first to receive a Calming Draught from Madam Pomfrey after she burst into tears during Herbology and sobbed that she was too stupid to take exams and wanted to leave school now.') then she has an absolute meltdown during her owls and causes a flamingo stampede in the middle of an exam, which makes everything neville has ever done look slick. losers! soulmate losers. i love the idea of the two of them really knowing what it's like to gravely doubt yourself and feel very very rubbish about your self worth, and channelling that experience into being very supportive partners and parents, one day (and a teacher and friend to a future generation of hogwarts students, later in life!)

one of the other elements to hannah and neville is that they also both know something about grief and loss. hannah loses her mum when she's sixteen: neville grieves what his parents could have been every time he visits them. i don't think shared experiences of loss are necessarily a stable basis for a ship in all instances, but with hannah and neville, i really like it being part of what they are to each other and other people, as something that informs their capacity for great empathy and compassion and a real emotional maturity that comes with having gone through familial experiences that are so momentous and life-changing.

in my headcanon in beasts, i imagine that the period when hannah and neville became closer, and also when they both began to change and grow up as people and gain some self confidence, was during the war in the DA. neville, we know, grows hugely in confidence in that year. but hannah, too, seems to have changed a lot from her 15 to 17 year old self - she's gone from calling herself too stupid to be a witch to fighting in a huge great big battle (nearly getting personally bumped off by voldemort himself, huge slay). obviously i play with the idea that her and ginny became friends through the DA the year before, just because i think it makes a lot of sense as a way to draw hannah in to the wider group of golden and silver trios in a way that she isn't, really, in canon. but in general just think it's lovely to imagine hannah finally getting a bit of belief and self esteem in a growth arc that parallels neville's (and to give another female character an arc in general, in a series that underserves its female characters at every single bloody turn)

#couple of cuties i die #while i typed this beyonce ANNOUNCED A NEW ALBUM #i'm sure both hannah and neville would be very excited about this #neville's a man of taste he says virgo's groove was the best song on renaissance #neville longbottom #hannah x neville #hannah abbott #meta #ask game

wip questionnaire

thanks @worldstogetlostin for the tag!!!

rules: answer as many (or as few) of the questions about your WIP as you can.

1. What was the first part of your wip that you created?

probably the concept of a god of the forest saving a villager from the wild hunt. i didnt have loifa or rowan created, mind, just the vague idea of a god interrupting mischievous fairies who were about to kill/kidnap/do gods know what to a village boy who made a very stupid mistake. the whole scene is now an interlude in fantasy romance wip.

2. If your story was a TV show, what would the theme song/intro be?

no clue, honestly. shout out to queen's deception from the destiny soundtrack though, it'd have a similar vibe.

3. Who are your favourite characters you've made? Why?

from fantasy romance wip? im risking being obvious here, but its between loifa and rowan. probably rowan, i think. the boy is just trying SO hard and loifa is just SO much to deal with. tbh he has older sister energy and i sympathize with that.

4. What other pieces of media do you think would share a fan base for your story?

that's a very interesting question. my wip is mostly inspired by the fifth season and ffxiv, but in very different ways, so it's hard for me to say that ppl who liked both would like it. bc you know... fantasy romance wip is a romance (allegedly!)... and the fifth season and ffxiv aren't...

(well, ffxiv is if you try hard enough but)

let's say i wouldnt be surprised if someone who liked nettle & bone and the cruel prince also liked fantasy romance wip. id expect that person to be aroace and/or queer in some way though, ngl.

5. What has been your biggest struggle with your wip?

the middle!!! and the length!! it's kinda bizarre just how much needs to happen and how i need to fit so much into a standalone and i still have no middle to speak of?? like how does that even happen

also, you know... the romance.... :(

6. Are there any animals in your story? Talk about them!

lots of animals!! or beasts in general. good honest folk (cows, horses, sheep just minding their business and being slaughtered for no good reason by Things) and the mischievous crowd (carnivorous deer, three eyed owls, said Things), etc. no little guys to speak of so far, though.

7. How do your characters get around? (ex: trains, horses, cars, dragons, etc.)

on foot. there are only like two horses left in the marrow (the village) and they are working horses, so they arent used for travel/getting around.

8. What part of your wip are you working on rn?

(through blood, sweat and tears) [the beginning of] the middle!!!!

9. What aspects (tropes, maybe?) of your wip do you think will draw people in?

weird magical forest + god/mortal relationship + tiny town/village energy + secrets + the aroace lens. basically.

10. What are your hopes for your wip?

id be very contented if i finished it honestly :(

tagging @i-can-even-burn-salad @treesandwords @duskforged @ anyone else who wants to try!!

#me: fantasy romance wip is a romance!! fantasy romance wip: :)#problem is i came up with fantasy romance wip before knowing romantasy was a thing #so now fantasy romance wip looks like a romantasy book in a wig and clown make up #it doesnt fit it but where else can it go!#my dusty google docs wip folder likely #fantasy romance wip #tag games

Okay remember Lorelei and how I mentioned her setting?

Well... I caved... I made some more stuff about it.

Under a read more because this might be long

Okay the specific area this takes place in is called Starstinger's Wastelands, on the continent of Rykula. This is a surprising dry, dusty place, mostly deserts and prairies. But there are some forests and mangroves near the coastlines to the South-East. To the North, there are tundra and snow fields.

The setting is based heavily on the Wild West genre, using both historical information and fantasy stuff to make it fancy. Also a tiny bit of steampunk for good measure.

Many species survive here in the towns, mostly humans. Centaurs and elves are also quite common. Native animals include the mundane inspired by the American West, and the most fantastical, such as unicorns (Actually a close relative of deer!), harpies (Big owls) and Wildfire Pegasi.

However, the most elusive and interesting Beasts are the Specters, more commonly known as Star Ghosts. These are bizarre figures that vaguely look like animals, shapes or even humans. Most are mainly white or black, with a blue or orange lights assumed to be their faces or eyes.

Star Ghosts generally run away when approached, but they can be absolutely deadly when cornered. Interestingly, they have a unique magic system separate from all other beings.

One very unique and rare variant of Star Ghost is called the "Angels of Shadows." They are humanoid in form, with large wings and sharp talons, almost pure black save for their brilliant orange faces. They are absolutely deadly and should not be taken lightly. It is assumed that Angels of Shadows might be closely related to the wingless Shadow Beings and Light Persons.

If you’re still doing songs - song 69 and 138?

im always up to do em lets GO! i'll put both above the cut n then talk below :)

69. It’s Called: Freefall – Rainbow Kitten Surprise

king misses his mom. he misses his sister. he misses his aunt and his grandparents and mari trying to pin him down and luz letting him crawl under her covers and eda hugging him when he grabbed for her and firefly chirping good morning and good night and throwing out her wings to keep him safe.

“kiiiiiiiiing,” the collector whines, flipping upside-down through the air. “you’re so boring, what is your problem?”

“just tired,” king says. it’s hard to look at the collector straight-on. the thoughts that surround him are a messy array, and barely any of them are his, the way they are for anybody else: it’s a weird conglomerate of old thoughts like those that drift through the sky, but so packed together he can’t make anything out. it’s a beach of golden sand the collector runs through, leaving kicked-up grit in his awake.

“naw, c’mon,” they needle, landing right in front of him. “you’ve been tired forever. be fun!”

he misses his family so bad he’s sure it’s a wound spilling out of him. how can’t the collector see that?

“okay,” king says, “fine. let’s play.”

138. Habits – Genevieve Stokes

ask anybody: edalyn-owlbert clawthorne was never planning to have kids.

never really interested her. not the settling-down part, not the needing to keep another living creature alive part, not the having to be a good influence, gag. nah. kids were never going to be her thing, and so she never sought them out.

and then the little buggers found her.

well. she’s technically the one who stumbled across king, the owl beast’s faltering flight into that abandoned ruin he was living in, but king was the one who followed them both and refused to be left behind. plus, that stone-monster was going to kill him. eda wasn’t a fan of kids, but she didn’t want to leave them for dead, either.

looking back she’s pretty sure the owl beast was laughing at her.

laughed even harder when she took in luz. you’re an apprentice, kid, eda had told her, and the girl had squealed, and her daemon had sat there on her shoulder with her tiny chest puffed out, and something in eda knew this was going to be a permanent thing.

oh well. at least she skipped the changing diapers phase of things.

Discussion

for the first one: oh! hey! this one is relevant to for the future which im writing right NOW! ive been thinking a lot recently about how kings gonna be Doing in that entire like, 2-3 months he's basically on his own with the collector, because i'll be expanding out from what was shown in the show, and just...god. poor kid.

its terrifying! im a collector lover but even i'll admit he is Not great with king, especilly towards the start, and thats not going anywhere--king misses his family and the collector has been on his own for so LONG, and has this sense of entitlement to kings time + space. why does everyone else get a lifelong friend with them since birth? the collector wants that! and if they werent born with it they'll find a friend then! like KING!

its just a LOT. it makes for fun writing though kdnfkgdfg king doesnt hate the collector but oh boy is he not actually friends with them.

this one also makes it pretty obvious what im doing in regards to king being a titan lol but ive decided not to talk so explicitly about that unless im asked a question in which i cant speak around it. i gotta keep some of my secrets!

for the second one: MOM EDA MY BELOVED sorry i literally love that trope so much okay. its so so fun to write. eda really tripped and fell into parenthood like ah shit now ive got to be responsible for HOW MANY of these guys now? two? three? am i supposed to count mari and luz as one or two because based on the day that is a WILDLY different answer.

but yeah <3 its also made even more funny that firefly knew 100% what she was getting into. this was a massive shock to eda, but firefly's been a mom from the start!

also ooooh got that owlbert mention huh wonder what that is about...wonder what my owlbert secrets might be....if he shows up at all....hmmmm...

#ask #toh #daemon au #king clawthorne #eda clawthorne #the collector #i write #also keeping owlbert's name is actually so funny thinking about it #eda's parents really looked at their newborn daughter like 'yeah. fuck it. name him owlbert.'#and a grove of palistrom to you

Random Stuff I noticed in Twilight Princess (Wii), Hyrule Castle Edition

The designs on the doors feature a Triforce on top, but under them you can find an angular pattern that’s a lot closer to Twili stylistics. It’s lowkey giving "showing off their victory over the losers“, which would fit into the whole deal of the Interloper War.

In The Triforce wind puzzle in the left courtyard, two of the triangles are filled with grass, the ones standing for power and wisdom. (Since the Wii version is flipped, that’s the right Triforce here instead of left). Coincidentally, those are also the two Triforce wielders currently in the castle.

Unlike the rest of outside, the hidden graveyard only has very few bulbin structures, all in the front half, no monsters, and only their heads. The front half is also where all the broken or shifted graves and walls are, while the back half of the yard is perfectly intact and you’re greeted by lots of tiny skeletons in the middle. This suggests they clashed in the middle and were defeated by the Undead.

Based on the puzzle in the same area, it’s safe to assume Hyrule Castle utilizes magically induced rain as a defense mechanism.

Despite most of their stated lore being connected to the oocca, the owl statues are explicitly referred to as the "statues of time“ on the grave right next to the one that tells you about the cursed swordsman.

Hyrule castle‘s front door is a fake gate lmao, what are they compensating for. Probably just a design vs gameplay thing but it kinda adds to this somewhat egoistical grandness that this particular Hyrule has going on.

Iirc this and the temple of time are the only two dungeons where you get to shoot the classic "make stuff happen“ crystals, and also the floor buttons are the same in both dungeons, what with the light sage symbol on them, so there’s a neat connection

The left and right side of the castle are color coded! Left‘s got red carpets and wall decor while right got blue

The further you go up the castle, the more the music not only kicks in/becomes louder, but also gets more and more taken over by Ganon‘s theme

In the lower floors that’re still perfectly intact, you can find swords in ridges on the walls as decorations. Starting from floor 3 however, the castle becomes a lot more broken down, and the swords in the ridges are missing. The first room with this change is the one full of ghosts, leading to the thought that they were used by those soldiers as a means to defend themselves (to no avail).

The throne is surrounded by a bunch of tinier thrones (slabs? Idk what they are) with the sages symbols on each one

During the puppet Zelda fight, you can sometimes hear the beginnings of Zelda’s Lullaby sung in the background and melody before it gets drowned out by Ganon again

While Link can‘t interact with the rubble on the round, Beast Ganon can

The key you get from the graveyard is actually optional and lets you either skip the blue side of the castle…or rob Ganondorf‘s treasury empty :)

#legend of Zelda #the legend of Zelda #twilight princess #i Love robbing that room it so silly #dude really stached a welcome packet for Link right in front of his room

if the 2012 boys and the rise boys were in The Owl House and went to Hexside what coven tracks would they be in?

Hmm lets see.

Putting this under a read more because it gets long.

2012 Donnie would be in both the abomination coven and the potions coven. He would probably want to study the abominations as well as try to use different potions on them. Could also be in the healing coven as well since he is the team's official medic. (While 2012 Leo is the team nurse lmfao)

2012 Mikey would absolutely be in the Illusion track. And he would absolutely use it to be a menace to the Boiling Isles. His pranking skills would go up to a hundred. Though I could also see him in the Bard coven since he loves to sing. (He has most likely been banned from most of the other tracks for being a menace, he probably tried to eat an abomination/potions. Maybe some poisonous plants too)

2012 Raph is a hundred percent in the Beast Keeping track. All the animals love him and even the most disobedient ones will listen with very little protest. His vibes are immaculate. Plus he has an army of super dangerous animals ready to kill for him. (Poor Rise Raph however can't even get near the Beast Keeping classrooms or the animals will attack him on sight) for a secondary track maybe Construction would also fit.

For 2012 Leo I think both the Healing coven and the Illusion track would be great for him. The Illusion coven because he could deceive and trick opponents, be in multiple places at once and become a literal nightmare to deal with. But the Healing track would be so he can help take care of his family (plus the healing hands so it fits)

Now onto the Rise Boys.

Unlike his counterpart Rise Donnie will not go near the abomination track with a ten foot pole. It is icky gross and slimy, no thank you. Plus unlike 2012 Donnie he much prefers building machines over chemistry. So I can see him in the Construction Track, he will absolutely figure out how to make robots (way better ones than the Abomination robots) I can also see him in either the Plant Track or the Oracle Track. The plant coven because of the scrapped season 2 episode where it is revealed that Rise Donnie loves botany. Oracle purely because its purple.

Rise Mikey is a bit tricky, the Bard Coven is definitely one of the tracks that requires a bit more creativity. Maybe he would be in Beast Keeping as well but eh...if there was an art track he would be in it (Rise Mikey trying to start an art track with 2012 Raph) Though maybe his love of cooking can be expressed in the Potions track.

Rise Raph would be in the Construction track. (He would be in the Beast Keeping track but the animals all hate him for some reason, plus someone has to keep an eye on Rise Donnie) makes sense, he likes to smash things and he's big and strong. But I can also see him gravitating towards either the Abomination track (he would try to make friends with the abominations) or the Plant track. (The plants can help him protect his brothers better)

Rise Leo would be in the Healing track, he's the team medic after all plus its BLUE how can he say no. He wants to make sure he can take care of his bros, and he gets to try and give 2012 Leo an aneurysm so win win. But the most surprising thing is that he also picked the ORACLE track, over making fun abominations or playing with animals or really anything else. But he chose it because as the new leader he needs to know every single possible outcome. How one tiny mistake could cause a domino effect and eventually the apocalypse. He will not put his family in danger again because of his own arrogance. Not again...

Things I love about The Owl House now that I’ve (finally) finished S2:

-ALL the main characters have fully fleshed out personalities. They all went through clear and realistic development and a good chunk of it was independent of Luz. Even Hooty was way more than that one annoying house demon who appears for comedic de-escalation. Heck even Eda’s demon went through development if I’m stretching it.

-The way Luz wasn’t the one who brought Gus, Willow and Hunter together. They did that while she was away and still kind of have their own little group. In the frame right before or after this:

Both willow and gus are looking at hunter’s (healing) mark.

-weh

-The tiny things that knit the plot together neatly without being too obvious. The fact I can’t really think of a plothole but absolutely CAN think of fan theories all day

-Realistic responses to stressful situations. Obviously toh has it’s doses of cartoon logic but the way characters interact and stuff like that just feels .. real? Nothing is embellished or forced.

-the very obvious frustration towards harry potter (covens being bad and limiting, the hat, multiple quidditch references)

-magic not being limited. Even the coven specialties aren’t the regular elemental sorting, and even though the four regular glyphs are elemental they can be mixed and matched like colors to the heart’s content!! Plus the ways to cast are varied- artificial staffs, palismen, casting circles, glyphs, potions…

-The way king’s horns seem to be directly connected to his memories. Do you think that the crack on his head matters at all?

-the concept of palismen and grinwalkers in general. Watcha think the limitations are to what can be constructed with palistrom wood?

-the way hooty might have eaten the letter to king more on purpose than we are led to believe

-all the .. reconciliation. Like fr there is a lot of it. Also the range and discussion of different parental figures. Willows parents, Mrs. Noceda, Eda, Darius, Amity’s parents, even Belos is part of it to a point

-i havent considered this in all it’s extent but both the collector and belos having their own cult following is interesting

-quotable lines, such as: “It was a good sandwich.”

-hooty’s guardians of ga’hoole reference

-the two biggest threats being: Condescending Old Man and Child With Too Much Power

-discussion of things such as: kikimora’s struggle with her parents and just her in general, willow and gus’s separate struggles with spiraling thoughts and self worth, amity and hunters separation from who they were raised to be, Eda confronting the owl beast, Lilith’s separation from the emperor’s influence, etc. etc. etc.

-animation is muwah and so were literally everyone’s outfits

-steve

I wonder who anyone else would be in addendum to Hunter & Willow. Luz & Amity line up pretty well with Jesper & Wylan, and a younger Eda & Raine could work as Kaz & Nina. Odalia would obviously be Van Eck and Brum would be Belos. I just wonder about characters such as Nikolai and Haskall.

I feel like the subject matters in Six of Crows are overall a little too heavy for the toh characters so I wouldn't do like. An outright copy-and-paste AU where the story and the universe and background are all exactly the same. If I were to do anything it'd be an AU inspired by Six of Crows, with the characters having similar arcs to their counterparts. So we just cherry pick what aspects of the book we want to keep.

It wouldn't exist in the Grishaverse. It's still the Demon Realm. They are still witches.

I could absolutely see Eda fulfilling the role of Haskall in this case but also she has entirely different reasons for doing the things she does. Haskall had different motivations for running the dregs, most of which being business motivated. Eda is simply chaotic and would absolutely just adopt a whole bunch of fucked up kids and form a criminal gang found family.

I feel like Eda and Raine absolutely could have had a story that resembled Kaz and Inej when they were younger. The tension between them being Eda's Owl Beast form rather than Kaz's trauma induced emotional barriers. It was just as passionate, just as full of longing, but it still ended tragically. Like Kaz staying in the Barrell and Inej becoming a captain of her own ship, Raine also left Bonesborough to work towards the rebellion. Now its just a matter of the two meeting again 👀

Luz and Amity as Jesper and Wylan??? Hello???? HELLO?????? These respective stories and characters align so perfectly I am literally about to combust. Amity being a rich girl who's just never been good enough and Odalia's solution to that is to fucking KILL HER?? Her becoming a run away and eventually being a key role to tearing her Mom's whole fucking world apart. Brainy and blushy and feral. Yes fantastic.

It's actually one parallel between Luz and Jesper that's killing me. The generational trauma mostly. Also both kids leaving home with the promise to "improve" themselves, only to end up in an entirely different "world" and lying to their parent about it. The parent loving their kid so much but also being so flawed, very much effected by the death of their spouse. Oh I'm gonna lose it.

And yeah okay Hunlow as Nina and Matthias obviously.

Okay okay okay okay so stay with me here. I miss Gus...where is Gus....I would like Gus. So here me out.

While Eda and Raine probably had the spirit of Kaz and Inej's story, once Eda grows older and becomes the Haskall, Matt and Gus become the placeholders for the roles in this new generation of delinquents.

Because like....Mattholomule Lastnameomule: The Bastard of Bonesborough. Tell me that's not the funniest shit ever? Tell me you don't want to see this tiny ugly little man literally terrorizing the whole fucking town. He is 3ft tall and he killed a man this morning. That's hilarious.

Meanwhile Gus is the Inej in the sense that he's tiny, speedy and slippery. While Inej was considered lethal with her knives, you don't want to fuck around with Gus, the kid who summons images so horrific he melts your brain. Inej was called the Wraith and Gus is called the Phantom.

Matty is the one "in charge" of the six of them (somehow?? Idk who voted for him?? Maybe Eda just picked up cuz he bites the hardest.) and Gus is definitely the one he's closest to. He and Gus be having all that marriage squabbling and mutual understanding that Kaz and Inej had.

The whole gang calls themselves the Owls <3

#rip steve #(oh i forgot to talk about nikolai. yeah i dont care about s&b characters much so he is nothing to me.)

author's note | chapter 3: nocturnal 🌙

here is the author's note for chapter 3, with a few short reflections on writing, headcanons, fic recs (and a tiny sneak peek of chapter four). for an explanation of why i'm inflicting these author's notes on you see here!

✨ spoilers for this chapter below the cut (and a tiny sneak peek of chapter 4…) ✨

thank you for reading the third chapter of beasts! this chapter follows ginny’s first (proper) day back at hogwarts after the war, from morning til night. we have some familiar faces back with us, as well as a couple of new ones. lot to talk about - let's get stuck in...

[ nocturnal, adjective: being active or happening at night rather than during the day:of the night, or relating to the night ]

acknowledgements:

thanks to @pebblysand @evesaintyves and @takearisk-ao3 for their extremely helpful suggestions on introducing and sketching out O.Cs. and thank you to @incalculablepower on TTB for clarifying what did or did not happen with ginny’s OWLs!

writing notes and headcanons:

on canon references (or: back to the prisoner of azkaban): i’m having so much fun pilfering and borrowing my favourite tropes or moments in canon and sort of interpolating them into the vibes of certain scenes for this fic. for this chapter, the book i kept going back to for this chapter was PoA. this is the book we see ginny the least in, save for a brief intro in diagon alley and her traumatic experience with the dementor on the train, where she and the trio all meet remus, but we know, for her, it’s the aftermath year of her deeply traumatic first year. it only seemed right to do PoA here, as we find ginny, again, starting a new aftermath year now that the war is won. there are references to PoA throughout - remus’ DADA lessons, obviously the hippogriffs and the care of magical creatures lessons, but also werewolves, dementors, the press, and the beginnings of criminal trials. with the opening scene i was trying to do a call-back to the opening of PoA, which begins with harry in the middle of the night, writing in bed, quill between his teeth, worried about getting ink on the sheets, receiving the daily prophet clipping and letters from his friends. two soulmates mimicking each other i die i die. (also time-turning because you know ya girl loves a flashback)

on letters: letters, writing, handwriting, reading between the lines: these are really crucial in canon - there’s often a romance and magic to them, and they serve a rich way of characters connecting across distance and time (lily potter’s little wave to her son through her letter Gs!) as we know, though, writing to others is canonically also a loaded theme, fraught with risk and danger and secrets, the threat of interception. ginny more than most has reason to feel wary when she picks up a pen. expect lots more letters and refections on this in future chapters…

on the camera and the nimbus: when i one day put out the summer ‘98 fic that i write and re-write and scrap every so often, you’ll get the story of how harry and ginny come to possess these two items - but for now, i’m keeping hush, you're going to have to forgive me trust me

on head boys and head girls: as we see in this chapter, hermione and justin finch-fletchley are the first postwar heads of school. these are symbolic appointments as well as reflections of the staff and governors' faith in them - two muggleborns, both plainly bearing the scars of their, very different, wartime experiences. there’s been some super interesting discussion about this (here and here) and although i don’t think hermione should be head girl, i think she would be, in ways that make for an interesting arc for her. stay tuned on this...

on lavender: i just don’t think she’s dead, i’m sorry 🥲 it’s just too brutal for her to have died and her only plot service to be ron’s clingy ex! my girl was a proud DA member and fought in the battle and deserves a chance at having a meaningful life after her injuries ok

on ginny and mcgonagall: i strongly suspect ‘forgot to brake, sorry professor’ was not the first time these two gryffindor ladies clashed. i assure you, in this fic, it will not be the last.

on professor graves: i’ve always been so so so fascinated by the department of mysteries and the unspeakables, and so introducing a former dept of mysteries guy to take the defence class - already a tricky posting, especially after the students have had a year being taught how to do dark magic by death eaters - seemed really compelling, especially as we play with some of the themes about beasts and the darker parts of a person's nature. stay tuned for more prof graves action...

on ginny and remus: we have only tiny hints that ginny and remus have some kind of friendship that harry doesn’t really see in canon - the poa interaction, moments in ootp where remus stays with ginny and the twins on the night bus (ofc he’s also living at grimmauld with ginny and her family in that book, too); ginny’s closeness to tonks; and that fantastic moment in DH where remus vouches for ginny to her parents and persuades molly and arthur to let ginny stay in the room of requirement during the battle, so she’ll know what’s going on. i’m absolutely not the first one to suspect remus lupin might see something of himself and try and look out for ginny in her second year, but i am loving thinking through their dynamic here, and the idea of remus and hagrid also having their own existing friendship and rapport

on little women: fraught, fiercely loving sisterhood, matriarchs, writing, war… hermione just had to be rereading little women, didn’t she?

on siegfried sassoon and the death bed: i know it’s extremely pretentious wanky of me to start with a poem but one of my favourite favourite books is pat barker’s regeneration, which is about soldiers at a scottish convalescent home suffering with PTSD during the first world war (it’s a fictionalised account of real people, including sassoon the war poet, who were patients at craiglockhart during the war). there are lots of themes and dynamics in that novel that i’m shamelessly trying to play with here, strongly recommend a read, and i’m also just a massive huge sassoon fan and this is one of two of his poems that i keep coming back to for this fic. (graves is actually a reference to robert graves, the poet and classicist, who appears as a character in regeneration). the vibes are very much this!

reading list for chapter 3

on epistolary fiction and letter-writing (esp. harry/ginny):

castles by @pebblysand warm front by flagpoles (@jiilys) enough of both by @takearisk-ao3

on harry calling ginny ‘gin’:

you’re the only one who gets to call me that, you know by @hiinnys (AO3)

on postwar ron and ginny:

hide-and-seek by stuckwithminusharry

on postwar hermione:

Failure by @floreatcastellumposts

on mcgonagall:

Autumn is a Time of Change by wasureneba

on hannah abbott:

naive: in defense of hannah abbott by dirgewithoutmusic

on remus and food:

It’s just what you do to get by by anonymous for remus lupin fest 2023

songs from the playlist particularly for this chapter:

plus a very short sneak peek of chapter four... 🧹

‘Right,’ she says. ‘You can all put your brooms down over there.’ Thirty blank faces stare back at her. ‘You know,’ she says, raising her eyebrows, ‘an important part of being on a Quidditch team is following direction.’

🦉 thoughts & questions? ask me anything!
