One of the things I live about tumblr is that uts literally amazing for all my fandom needs. Like, you could have the rarest hyperfixation ever and there will be an entire community for it on tumblr filled with fanart, fanfics, rambles, info dumps, theories and memes. I love tumblr.

3 tickets to barbie please

The assistant bodyguard, the boy of destiny and the girl with magic that works on iron

aka more doodles for the wizards of once series. This time our main trio Bodkin, Xar and Wish.

Part 1

The King and The Enchantress and The Knight

Wizards of Once

Another fandom I wanted to make art of, so might as well share it here.

The wizards of Once by Cressida Cowell, I felt like a kid again reading these books, truly recomend it if you like fantasy books.

The doodles I drew l while listening to the first book

I don't know if my interpretation of no-helmet Bodkin is correct I just drew what was in my heart

Some Wizards of Once doodles ! I finished the series today :o)

I can't believe I actually did fan arts of them in that ugly orange paper (⁠ ⁠；⁠∀⁠；⁠)

(I didn't like Xar that much honestly, I have to practice more that angle lol)

Wish: “It says to 'beat three eggs.' What does that mean?”

Xar: “It means like in hand to hand combat.”

Wish: “Oooh!"

Bodkin: “Both of you, get out of my kitchen!”

A moment of bonding between three friends on a starry night; of peace during a terrible war.

Thinking about how many character in Cressida Cowell’s books are disabled.

I adore the httyd books with a passion but I honestly think twoo is a tiny bit better. My opinion on this does vary but most of the time I truly think twoo had so much to offer. And that's not to say httyd doesn't have as much to offer, I just liked the aesthetic of twoo so much because of all the whimsical magic fairytale vibe. But twoo had so much to offer and no one really acknowledges it. And a lot of the time when they do acknowledg it httyd creeps it's way into the conversation. I think twoo was a beautiful book but it's so underrated it's honestly wild to me.

Old idea: the Cressida kids in period costumes. I think I like Fishlegs and Xar’s clothes the best

Fishlegs is an orphan who found out he’s a Murderous heir and enters society to find a tall, strong wife. Wish is his wingman who talks to cutlery and keys.

Xar and Camicazi have a swashbuckling time duelling men in heels, stealing from aristocrats and snatching literal wigs.

Hiccup is a Hanseatic League merchant who hires Bodkin the aspiring playwright as his assistant.

Also two text posts in a row but this is a draft

Idk why I just thought of this but “faintingspell” would be an amazing ship name for bodkin and either one of the other main characters

Wish: I love you guys, you're the best thing that's happened to me.

Bodkin: We're the best thing that's ever happened to you?

Wish: Yes!

Xar: I'm starting to feel a little sorry for you.

Spoilers for the Wizards of Once series if you haven't read it and want to, but I really thought the narrator would be Squeezjoos.

Because look, the story directly said the narrator was a character in the first book. I thought Wish and Xar and Bodkin were too obvious. I assumed Cressida Cowell liked a good twist so I barely considered them. Caliburn is also too obvious. Other than that you have the sprites, snowcats, Crusher, etc. None of them had enough presence in the story, or personality, to emotionally impact me as the read if they were the narrator.

Except Squeezjoos.

Squeezjoos wasn't there for everything that happened but I could imagine him learning about things after the fact and writing down the story we read. He was also young, and we don't know the age limit of sprites, so it's possible that he would live long enough to be able to say the phrase "A British Isles so old it did not know it was the British Isles yet"

Also, with the narrative asking questions about the moral of the story, it makes sense for Squeezjoos to ask that question. He goes through so much, so much pain in these books, and so it makes sense that he didn't ask why at the time, and he's thinking about it now, as he writes.

It just, it would have made so much sense for that little hairy fairy to be the narrator, and it would have fulfilled the twist of who is the narrator, because I remember at the time everyone thought it would be Caliburn or Bodkin. Just, ugh. I'm gonna pretend the last chapter and epilogue didn't happen and Squeezjoos is the narrator and he makes an eloquent point about progress, and what is progress and what makes a better world. And maybe how he doesn't know what the moral of the story is, but he knows there is one, and he thinks this story should not be forgotten. So he writes it down, and hopes someone someday finds it.
