Scrimbly Jacqueline 9/52: Jacquie's term as Jack Frost in the Santa Clauses.

Yeah, you heard me right! I am stepping my toes into the series with my beloved blorbos. ME! WHO HAS NOT STOPPED COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW BAD THE SERIES IS!

Lore/musings and pre-edited scrimbly under the cut!

RIGHT SO. YEAH! AFTER TWO SEASONS OF JUST THE WORST WRITING AND NONE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND BONES BUT NO MEAT, I HAVE FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW EXACTLY CS WOULD WORK IN A TSCS UNIVERSE bc, imo, there's no way these two are from the same universe. NO way.

Right, so here's what's going on with Jack and the Frosts in tscs, and why Jacquie is ROCKING this fit. I will try to be succinct:

Jack thaws, changes, reunites with the fam, blah blah blah. Santa's very untrusting and this does not change, and I think maybe the events of CS happen the same way but Santa is a HUGE DICK the ENTIRE TIME.

Blah, blah, Pyros happens, yadda yadda, things go on and Santa just keeps getting worse--refuses to see that Jack has changed, starts saying boomer-esque things in Council meetings, to the point where every Council member can't stand him--and Jack gets the brunt of it

He complains to the fam. Winter and Blaise are like, we do NOT fuck with this Santa guy. Jacqueline is ready to throw down the more Jack tells her about things he says/does at meetings

She's like "Jack. Jack. Please. Let me at him. PLEASE."

Jack's like "We'll file that away for later."

Finally Jack has HAD it, he is too cute and pretty and has worked far too hard for this ABUSE to be levelled at him at the hands of Santa Claus. He's worth it! He knows when to take care of HIMSELF. This is a TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT and he will NOT be having ANY MORE OF IT

He steps tf down, Jacqueline takes over, and she is FERAL. She's WORSE than Jack. She makes things a NIGHTMARE for Santa. I have a whole THING planned for how s2 goes with her in Jack's place >:3

And THAT is what's going on here! Jacqueline has stepped up and is ready to THROW DOWN WITH SANTA who is wholly, wholly unprepared

OUTFIT BACKGROUND TIME!

The vest IS JACK'S! She steals it from him! (Santa thinks the vest works the way the Santa jacket does. Jacqueline does not correct him. In fact, she spins a terrifying tall tale of how she killed her predecessor for the spot and took the vest off his slushy, dead, body. Jack thinks it's gd hilarious. Santa is fear.jpeg)

Her hair is still snowy but with more blue and is POOFIER. It is constantly tangled/windswept. POOF BABY.

Speaking of poof: apparently it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for Jacqueline to NOT wear poofy sleeves. Idk why. SO! Poof sleeve dress shirt! I used to have one just like it and I MISS it, it was so elegant~

Skirt is FIT AND FLARE BABY! Or skater skirt style. She thought of bringing back the pencil skirt and went "fuck that", she needs to MOVE and GROOVE

BIKE SHORTS! I am so sorry everyone who has done Jacquie art for this lil fact I'm about to drop on you all: she wears BIKE SHORTS under her dresses and skirts ALL THE TIME. Stops chafing and if she does a flip she's not worried about flashing people, and they are way more comfy than LEGGINGS. Cold doesn't bug her, anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(She is also prone to overheating easily. Summer sprite blood, everyone expects; I think she's just got too much energy all the time and it keeps her warm)

I did not draw them BUT with this cool work casual ish fit, she still wears her worn grimy leather boots. She's truly the messiest icon.

GREAT friends with the rest of the Claus fam btw; but NOT Scott. And the more she hears from his fam, the angrier she gets lol

AH I am SO EXCITED to unleash this design on y'all. I have been thinking about tscs!cs NON STOP this month! NON STOP! Also, February appears to be the month of FASHION JACQUELINE scrimbles, lol

I tried a lil something different with the hair! Did the messy lines in a light blue then went over it with my very light blue almost white watercolour marker. I like it!

Jack's vest is SO low cut tbh, WILDIN. Very excited when I saw that I DID have a metallic silver prismacolour pencil crayon! It looks GREAT on the VEST and it SHOWED UP IN THE PHOTO! I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD! :D

Very proud of her hands!! And the way the watercolours worked on her glowy magic hand was AMAZING. I cackled the entire time I coloured this post lining it >:)

Anyway that's all the ramblies for this scrimbly for now. I have a bunch of other silly doods for this lil au? ??? ??? of sorts??? I uh, I prepped for this scrimbly unintentionally. Just started doodling the scenes in my head from this version of cs, so there's some funny lil scrimbles coming your way, eh. Thursday? We'll see! I have one more I NEED to draw out then I will be at peace.

Or I'm a big ol' liar and I will 100% write this whole thing and wake up 100k words later very confused.

Anyway, take the non-edited scrimble! I have yet to find a bright enough place in my house OR at work to take a decent photo of art without shadow or fucky lighting. Ah well. Maybe one day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Coming soon to Disney Plus -- Crystal Springs, a new animated show based on The Santa Clause trilogy!

...Is a sentence I hope to one day be able to say/type, and it actually be true, bc wouldn’t that be SOMETHING. OH BOY.

I wanted to do a lil speculative character design type Thing -- imagining what it would be like if CS actually WAS its own animated tv show. I used to do a lot of speculative illos back whenst I was studying for my degree. I miss it!

Here’s hoping I don’t get in trouble for using Disney copyrighted logos at the bottom there. The other logos are my own design. I’m not sure whether I’m happy with them, tbh. They’re deffo subject to change. Just thought it’d be cool if CS/Frostverse had its/their own logo(s).

Disclaimer: Jack Frost is copyright of Disney, as is the Disney Plus logo and The Santa Clause logo. Jacqueline Frost (AND THE ENTIRETY OF CS/FROSTVERSE) is copyright of the lovely and talented Dani, aka @safyresky -- signature bottom right (the first one). Here’s a magical portal that will take you to her wonderful, fabulous stories.

I own LITERALLY NOTHING. How tragic! My sig is only on there bc I done doodled the doodlies.

Anyway... HOO BOY have I been working on this for AWHILE.

Jacqueline’s bodice presented a Challenge and a Half, but you know what? I think I’m happy with the result. I Think. I’m probs gonna keep tweaking it and such-like, but even so.

Imma be adding new characters into this lil scene on the reg. The Frosts next, then Elle and Bernard, until I have the entire CS/RoE cast. I also have a lot of sketches and STUFF to post.

OMG ITS FINALLY DONE NOW I MAY REST THESE WEERY HANDS

A continuation of drawing Dani’s characters from Crystal Springs The Season Sisters are HERE!!

This took so incredibly long because unlike The Frosts, i didn't have the clearest picture in my head of what the seasons looked like and there was A LOT of ironing out to do on these designs but they're here!!!

And because i spent so long on the design process under the cut is gonna be a lot of random details and things i did while making them (Cause i am a character design nerd)

WARNING: It is LONG under the cut. I gots a lot to say

Summer:

I did some preliminary sketches before reading too far into CS and i SCREAMED when i accurately guessed that summer was both black and buff. The only correct call tbh

I was really caught between giving her natural hair (to match Autumn) or the spiky Christmas tree hair i had originally envisioned for her. But i like the shape of the spiky hair too much to let it go

The design to add blue and green motifs were very last minute because she needed something to break up the yellow.

Originally her arm details started out as mesh sleeves in the preliminaries, then turned into vague markings, then i decided to make them landscape tattoos

Summer doesn't technically have a crown, because i forgot/didn't want to make one lol

Summer i had the least ideas for her outfit so it went through a lot of versions

Spring:

Spring i probably got the most wrong from the canon tbh lol

Her vibes ended up being more Riverfront/freshwater inspired, especially when it came to the hair. long and flowy baby

The HARDEST design i had to make with spring is to decide what dress silhouette i would do. Because I originally wanted her and autumns dresses to both be open slits but mirrored, but the fluffy skirt ended up really selling me. So i took the shape from dress 3, the top half from dress 1, and the flower accents on the sleeves from dress 2

Other than the outfit, spring has also probably changed the least in terms of looks

She gives me Isabella energy from Encanto

Autumn:

AUTUMN WAS SO FUN TO DO. She's what kept me going throughout this process and she's the one who’s final design i like the best.

I had such a clear image of her in my head, the shortest and chubbiest. Unintentionally very pumpkin like

SPEAKING of pumpkins, her pumpkin sleeves were a total ACCIDENT. COMPLETELY UNPLANNED. i accidentally made them on the final dress option and i fell in love, so for the final design i added little green ribbons to highlight this detail.

I wanted to also give her the leaved collar from dress 2 but i absolutely forgot about until just now when i’m typing this out lol

She has an ever so slight disco vibe to her final design (carried over from dress 2) and i love that for her

Winter:

Winter was nothing too strenuous considering i’ve done outfit studies for her before

BUT THAT DOES’NT MEAN I HAVE’NT PICKED 1 OUTFIT FOR HER YET

Every dress i try i like a little too much and i can see her everything as her main outfit so far, but the final design i did nail down will do just fine lol

I ended up taking the split skirt detail from dress 1 and just combined that with the rest of dress 3

I imagined her to be really ethereal, so i blurred the lines of where her clothes end and her skin begins

The golden necklace is from Blaise :)

I don’t know why, but it was really important to me to make sure that winter has small titties

Idk if anyone has picked up on this ye, but since i designed winter after drawing jack a whole bunch, i accidentally made it so he gets the little hair swoopties in the back from her lol.

All Four:

I imagined them as quadruplets and all of them being the same age

I originally thought of them as like a choir/quartette so the very first ideas i had for them where trying to make them all as similar as possible

That being said, i still think of them as a choir group akin to The Muses from Hercules and The Fates from the musical Hadestown (Which is how i imagine them to sound/sing). I can see them narrating the story points as its happening in song form.

Any one of the other ideas i had for them can be taken as another outfit they have in their closets :)

All of their skirts are actually indicative of their season. Summer has both of her legs out, Winter has both of hers covered, Fall only has 1 leg out and Spring has only a little of both out.

#thats a lot #i need a nap after that whole mess #might not draw them for a little while after this too #crystal springs #The Santa Clause #artists on tumblr #digital art #Character Design #costume design #Fanart #frostverse

the prophecy

"hand on the throttle, thought I caught lightning in a bottle, oh, but it's gone again."

Charles wrung his hands together, frowning at the all too familiar sensation. It had been... a while, since someone had brought him such a feeling. A lightness that had been missing from his life, since... well.

William.

He sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. Honestly, he hadn't thought of William in such a long time. Xavier had told him that it was normal to mourn, but that he couldn't let himself mourn forever. HA! Easier said than done!

He got up and walked toward his cupboard, reaching for the bottle, but stopping just short as fingertips brushed against the glass. A sour taste filled his mouth as he was hit with an unwanted memory, one of him and William dancing around the kitchen, room aglow from the refrigerator light, and a bottle in William's hands.

Moving his hand back, he instead placed it on his chest and sighed. Yes, he was feeling horrible, but was it worth fucking up his sobriety?

...Probably not. He would certainly regret it in the morning, if nothing else.

"Damn it."

It had been a year since William left, and the gaping wound in his chest felt as fresh as ever. He wasn't sure if it would ever get easier. How do you go from your first friend, first real love, first... everything? To this? This feeling as though he were a crumpling piece of paper burning to ashes in a fire.

He certainly hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Hell, even what they had was seemingly a lightening in a bottle moment. The feelings he developed for his childhood friend hit him hard and suddenly, like waves crashing over his hometown, and learning that William had always felt that way?

Charles had somehow found his way back to his bedroom and he fell onto his bed with a soft 'poof' as he melted into his covers. His hands found his hair again, though, this time, when his fingers intertwined with his hair, he pulled hard. His being itched with desire to drown out the thoughts, but he'd been sober for a year. A damn year! And he wasn't about to let a ghost ruin that!

"Fuck you, Will. Fuck you for doing this to me."

He'd been chasing that lightening in a bottle feeling since he left. Men, women, it didn't matter, he just wanted to feel something again. Everyone said he'd been softer, kinder, gentler, with William, and fuck it if it'd felt like he took twenty-steps back when he left. He hadn't even had the decency to tell him to his face!

He just left a fucking note!

"I don't want you to get hurt," was the last thing Charles read before he smashed the paper within his hands, then ripping it to pieces. Charles knew what he'd been getting into when he started dating a fucking werewolf.

Well, no, not really, but he knew that he was willing. He was more than willing to do anything if it meant staying with William.

"Gooood, you're so pathetic," he said aloud, blinking back the acid rain that was leaking into his ears. Why was he like this? He had had such a fun time tonight. When Xavier wanted to hook Charles up with someone, Charles felt knots in his stomach at the thought, but Xavier had promised that they had "so much in common!"

And, well, shit. They did!

He hadn't laughed so hard in a year!

So why was he crying?

Deep down, he knew. He was afraid of fucking this one up, too. Again, he knew that, realistically, there was nothing that could have been done about him and William. Nothing he would have said would have changed the other man's mind. Clearly, seeing as he skipped town like an asshole outlaw without giving Charles the choice.

But fuck it if it didn't make him feel broken.

As he lay there, ruminating in his thoughts, a flash in the darkness alerted him to notification. Wiping his eyes, he propped himself onto one elbow and reached for his phone.

Noah. He smiled in spite of his rotten mood.

'Hey, Chip! Just wanted to reach out again and let ya know that I had a blast tn :) If you're up to iiiiit I'd really like to see ya again tmrw after you get off work, lmk!'

His smile grew wider. He turned the screen off for a moment, placing his phone against his chest as he plopped back down onto his back. Chip. What a silly nickname. Something different.

Maybe this would be different.

"Please, I've been on my knees, Change the prophecy, Don't want money, Just want someone who wants my company."

4 damn episodes just for Mary to be born? I can’t wait to see how they cram 13 years of history into the last three-four episodes

the time passage in frostverse has always been terrible, especially in this show, but i really feel like its just gonna get worse, like the first 3 eps cover the time between 1511 and 1515, assuming the show will end with catherine’s speech at blackfriars in 1529 (which, by the way, i am not looking forward to charlotte chewing the shit out of that scene tbh) that leaves us with just 5 episodes covering 14 years??? adding to the fact that episode 6 is about the field of cloth of gold, which takes place in 1520, that leaves 2 episodes to cover almost 10 years, practically a whole decade... meanwhile, the entire first season covered less than 8 years (and for what lol, it was far from the most interesting period in tudor history)

ANYWAY NOW THAT THOSE DEFINITELY NOT DRABBLES ARE OUT, I NEEED TO SCREAM FOR A SECOND BC THE PAST 3-5 HOURS I HAVE BEEN CONSUMED BY BLAISE FEELS, DID YOU GUYS KNOW HE HAD A LIL HARDEEND HEART DURING THE WAR WITH HIS BROTHER? I DIDN'T! I JUST LEARNT THAT TODAY! AND THAT WINTER'S LOVE THAWED HIM!?!? AND HE RETURNS THE FAVOUR IN A HANDFUL OF YEARS!?!?!?! FUCK! I AM DEAD!

(Blaise is a summer sprite, so for him frozen is actually stony heart! stony heart Blaise is very decisive. He does what needs to be done because it must be done, personal feelings locked away in his rocky lil heart. You can see why a fucking CIVIL WAR WITH HIS TWIN BROTHER would cause him to encase his fiery lil heart in stone)

#dani speaks #all up in my blinter feels. but what else is new eh?#YELLS #crystal springs FACTS #I GUESS. BC BLAISE LORE.#blaise #blaise frost #cs #crystal springs #frostverse

OMG after such a long time we finally have a special friend with us! This entire post (Which is way too long) is just a testament to me putting my own characters into someone else's world INSTEAD OF FLESHING OUT MY OWN STORY. The entirety of the concepts and other story elements I'll be rambling about belong solely to @safyresky

In a Crystal Springs/Frostverse au Kills is actually a legendary figure on the council. And every legend needs a legate, so let me introduce ya’ll to Vic!

A little goblin child, 14-15 yrs old. Extremely gifted in shadow magic, currently a Master class working on their Renowned status. They have natural fear factor and tends to give off a really strong off-putting vibe. And considering that's Kills been kind of a pseudo brother figure for the kid, they were the first choice.

HOWEVER, they are also incredibly afraid of just about everything. The list of phobias is extensive, and their social anxiety is through the roof.

To work around this, they almost always wear a mask for anonymity and shape-shift a lot to hide from people. They’re working on it tho!

In a twist of irony i would think that eventually after knowing all the legates for a good while, would get along with Blossom/Dite the most. Idk a lot about Blossom but i’ve heard she’s feared by almost everything (Which kills appreciates).

And i think it would be really funny if the anxiety ridden Vic who’s scared of their own shadow, ended up growing found of Blossom.

Someone else said that TSP's Henry was just him having no agency for two seasons straight. Katherine was responsible for all his good decisions, Wolsey for his bad ones, but most importantly it absolutely wasn't his choice to leave Katherine, he would never have done so of his own accord, etc.

Wait, wasn’t it me (but it was kinda obvious, so maybe it was someone else), I wrote here something like that:

Henry in this show is a pushover without any sort of will or ideas of his own and now he truly seems like a just a deeply sick, mentally ill man who will do whatever Katherine, or more importantly, Wolsey will invent or tell him to do. He’s more of a mad tyrant in vein of Ibrahim doing what Cinci Hoca&Co. tell him to do& not controlling anything than a truly menacing one like Murad IV.

“You clean the cities, I clean the palace” - Henry tells Katherine and we know it’s Wolsey’s idea about cleaning the palace. To be still in Henry’s favour, Katherine teamed up with Wolsey to create a tyrannical machine that will soon devour her because somewhat she began trusting Wolsey… because Henry loves him, I guess. Of course Wolsey will want to be the only one ordering this puppet around pls. It was to be expected.

And here:

EF made Henry practically non-existent and all the people calling Wolsey Alter Rex or even “king of Englad” like Meg appear to be right. Of course there’s also Cathy trying to recover her control over him. Still, all bad ideas are either by CoA or Wolsey most of the time. Henry is barely a character. So kill him off and make Wolsey official king yeah.

It was truly so thoughtless of CoA to keep telling Henry how he is God-anointed king and how certain people are threats to his rule that need to be removed (even if they simply practice a different religion) and she will do it for him… well once somebody he trusts more says you are a threat… you are done.

And this would be the crux - he’s a puppet and in desperate attempt to recover her control over him Catherine teamed up with Wolsey and also joined the “giving bad ideas” bandwagon because in ep. 7 it’s made clear Cathy does not give him good ideas anymore. At all. All the desperation for Henry’s favour (plus wanting to please God and stop punishing her) made her lose herself and she helped Wolsey to create the ultimate monster in Henry. Now he does not even need bad ideas, he is spiralling out of control because I sensed even marital quarrel between him and his hubby Wolsey in the finale.

God save Frostverse’s England, I guess.

Who in the Frostverse would listen to Fall Out Boy

Is this you kind lmao

YOUVE ACTIVATED MY LORE DUMPING TRAP

Well, idk if you knew this but Rudy’s voice claim is the lead singer Patrick Stump! I go the Jennifer Tilly/Tiffany Valentine route so they both exist in universe. Similar to the ladies they’ve met!

You see, each antichrist has a demonic ability at which they excel. As you know for Santa it’s pyromancy and for Kimberly it’s malediction. For Rudy it’s more of a broad concept, that old wives tale of musicians selling their soul to the devil is true! Except it isn’t the devil anymore, it’s his grandson. In addition to this it has the side effect of people finding Rudy’s own song and dance very alluring.

Rudy listens to FOB a lot because Pete Wentz is a good lyricist and ofc Rudy wants to enjoy the spoils of his dealing.

-Side note, I know the band is older than Rudy I imagine it wasn’t a case of “talentless person turns to the devil” and more just a great artist having a slump and making a bad choice.-

Since it wasn’t just a soul exchange and Rudy is straight up sharing his voice I imagine Fall Out Boy’s popularity fuels his strength and power.

Besides….all that lmao

Maybe Jane? She’s more into the harder stuff but she would really enjoy their lyricism. I could see Judah loving them though! Blasting Sixteen Candles while going on a bombing spree.

Questions and Mysteries [Closed]

@skywingfreedom

There were patterings of children in her home when she woke, tiny fingers plucking rocks from arms and gently setting them on a wooden tray at their feet. Forthus and Haeri, she figured as she roused. They were still much too young to be embarrassed by the nature of bodies, and Maevil had been teaching them the basic happenings with the rites anyway.

“Thank you,” she murmured with a small smile, reaching to remove the stones decorating her torso so that she might sit.

“G’mornin, miss Sam! Sarga made bekfast!” There was a giggle as a small blond child, a girl of roughly five, presented her with a deep blue dressing robe and darted off, the door between abodes opening and shutting more harshly than needed.

“Forthus, I know you hide, child. Go tell your siblings that I will be late, would you?” Sam made sure to avoid the tray at her feet as she stood, wrapping the robe around herself tightly and tying it closed, peeking casually around to find the twin. “Should I have Pingu find him, I wonder? Maybe he found a way to another world! His mother would be devastated.. But Pingu would find him, wouldn’t you, pup?” She was grinning, padding lightly in a feigned attempt at seeking out the boy, knowing full well where he’d hidden himself. The dog had chosen to sleep atop the furs and blankets on her bed, and gave a lazy ‘boof’ and rolling over as his master approached for belly scratches. “I wonder where he could be, Pingu!” There was pleased groaning from the dog as she poised to lift some of the bedding, “Is he... here?! Nooo, not there,” she continued, knowing the boy was not there either.

There was then yet another delighted giggle resounding from beneath a table, and the game continued for another minute or two until a knock resounded on her door. Forthus was “found” with a fit of laughter and then sent on his way with a reminder of her message, and she then pulled half of her ceiling coverings over, casting half of the home in shadow and answered the door. The other half was left to feed the multitude of plants with precious sun.

“May I help you, sirs?” She was presented with a piece of parchment scrawled over with orders of medicine, and after a short conversation, she invited the pair of men in and retreated to a corner of shelves, baskets, and drawers to retrieve the requested medicines.

“Has anyone presented with any illness since arriving, or frostbite?”

“No, ma’am. Not yet, anyhow. S’only been a night. There was a ‘bout ‘o gut rot a week back but seems to’uv cleared up since.” Mentally, she gagged, but noted the tale and checked her supplies for treating the strange sickness that often followed eating slightly spoiled meat. It was one of the few things that could sweep a group even without having eaten whatever was infected, and in small quarters could be notably problematic. “What were you bringing to markets this time, Paulo? Anything different?”

She glanced over, watching the curly-haired lad shrug. His father often controlled the books on the deliveries and sales. “Nuthin’ much differen’ really. We picked up some nice furs in Haveshmill, and we had a couple o’ nice plants you mighta had interest in but they di’nt make it, as usual.” She chuckled. He knew ores and things of the mountains, and often there was little care for the preservation of whole plants. As long as it didn’t spoil or frost too badly, it was guaranteed to make it in one piece. “I’d expect not. How’s your mum? Her knees doing alright?”

His eyes lit up. “She’s doin’ well, actually, the salve’s really helped wi’ the serum. She was up and about when we stopped in, an’ her hands are steadier..” The lad with him didn’t have much to say, probably because he was just acting as a Page of sorts. He was the first to jump up when she presented the duo with a large bag of various remedies, cures, and a few dried herbs. Those that had been blessed were kept separate, as they were to be delivered to specific individuals on the trek back to port. “Take good care of these, alright? I’m trusting you, and they’re relying on you. And make sure you write if anything important comes up, yes?”

“Yes, ma’am,” came a uniform reply. A bag of coins was left on the table by the door as payment for serving the porting company, and with a brief bit of banter, they tottered off on their way, finally leaving her to dress properly and then open her curtains, an unfamiliar figure casually making the trek toward her home.

Finished the other deities/gods from Of Gods and Men, a series inspired by one of the universes I visited during a lucid dreaming session where the balance between nature and human society is maintained and monitored by nine elemental deities that were supposedly awakened in response to the rather not-so-eco friendly actions of mankind. I can’t confirm everything in this series is “canon” to the Frostverse (mostly cause I’ve only ever seen Mr. Frost in the dreams I’ve had in that verse) but hey, a little fan fiction never hurt anyone :)
