bakugo -> gosh just the thought makes my head fuzzy…. everyone thought a bunny would be the worst hybrid for him to pick, especially you, the most timid of them all. he scowled mean, but he was the nicest and gentlest of all the people you met. he didn’t get in your space when you hid behind furniture while other hybrids explored and played with potential owners. he just crouched down and held out his hand. sat there waiting quietly until you were ready to curiously sniff his hand. let you curl up next to him and in his lap while he silently pet you or let you show him what you were comfortable with. and he gives you the freaking world at home. did the most research beforehand because he wanted everything to be perfect for you. and it nearly was.
aizawa -> intended on getting a cat hybrid, but you were too sweet and doe eyed to resist. he doesn’t regret it one bit. takes the best care of you and is so soft and loving and… ugh. he doesn’t let you get away with anything, though. makes some of the best homemade food. loves snuggles more than he admits. insists on being the one to wash and care for your hair & ears because you’re his bunny to take care of. loves the soft down fur of your rabbit feet and how it contrasts with the rest of your human body. also loved watching you get to know his two actual house cats who were skittish at first because you looked and smelled so different. but now you play with them all the time.
kirishima -> you were his first choice, but he wasn’t your first choice. your first choice would have been the guy with a big scar on his eye siting quietly in the corner… or maybe the dark haired lady who was giving out so many head pets and ear scritches…. but kiri was very friendly and energetic… he was more like those puppy hybrids who were always so loud and up to something, but when he stretched out his hand, you gave him a chance. he had to learn how to temper himself around you as to not make you skittish, and you eventually warmed up to his loud, energetic personality. definitely gives the best snuggles ever. he’s super warm all the time, so you can’t help but curl up next to him. and he always cooes such sweet things when he’s petting you and holding you. he’s also super fun to play with and gets you lots of toys.
Another owl house illustration! Possibly some huntlow aftermath to the previous one? The more drawings I do following this theme the more I want to try to expand on the story... But then I'd have to actually, you know, make it 🥲.
shadow nia being an ass is perfectly in line with what's been established so far actually, that being that light and shadow are not inherently good or bad and that a mix of both is ideal. nia turning from "nia" to "shadow nia" is another case of one taking over, one being too much. we can confer from what's been shown that a focus light has always been with undercurrents of self-sacrifice and service at the cost of your life/self, what we see as typically "virtuous". meanwhile, shadow is seen as more indulgent and self-serving, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily "bad".
shadow nia's outburst and personality is because of a lifetime of suppression of her natural inclinations to be selfish or self-indulgent. no matter how kind she is nia is still a person and thus "imperfect", who still wants, feels, and desires things not typically endorsed by her religious upbringing and lifestyle. basically she bottled up all her negative "sinful" feelings because she thought it was bad and it blew up in her face in the form of shadow completely taking her over.
nia's story is one of how society and institutions can make you believe that denying yourself feeling all "negative" emotions and acting on "negative" inclinations is bad, how that isn't true and how everything should be taken into moderation, and how women's emotions are often ignored and downplayed until it's too late, which by then it's gotten so bad that most people would just brush them off as irrational anyway. yeah shadow nia's an ass, but you have to ask - what powers were at play that made her act this way?
still, i fully believe nia is going to eventually find a perfect balance of both, mastering "true" magic like cherta's.
I need everyone to know that if your Glorfindel of the Golden Flower is not wearing his golden hair in basic-Instagram-bitch flower braids I don’t know what you are doing with your life.
For everyday:
For parties:
For court (pretend it’s blond):
For WAR (Pre-Balrog):
For WAR (post Balrog):
Textured version (again, pretend it’s blond. Or don’t. But I am):
(I found it hard to find similarly cheesy flowery braid hairstyles for non-straightened textured hair, but please accept this impractical elven alternative the aesthetic Flower Afro/Flower Crown)
tl.dr: Extremely Flowery hairstyles only for my Balrog-slaying boy.
