making a silly little conspiracy string board and connecting the dots between an unknown person/group hiring the nobodies for a “smash and grab” re: hexum to hexum having dealings with the paragon’s call to the new and improved paragon’s call basically being a front for the ruby vanguard to ludinus using the potions of possibility and a beacon for the malleus key to ashton asking milo to contact the nobodies again to ashton checking in with milo/the krook house next episode. anyway i just think it’d be neat if we get to find out more about 1) the nobodies themselves 2) who hired the nobodies and if this was a targeted attack for the purpose of draining resources from the ruby vanguard 3) if that person/group was aware of what hexum was and is smuggling, i.e. dunamancy, that would not only be great for ashton, but it would just be really fun overall to bring the luxon into the current conversation(s) surrounding the gods, the elementals, and predathos

HI TO THE ANON THAT REQUESTED THIS !! Yea ofc i know her !! here u go !! I hope i see Venus in more future media <33 !! Have a lovely day to u too !!

The shaw pack's wolf forms!!

This is after the inversion so they're a bit scuffed up

I didn't do Kesley because I'm not even sure if she's a shifter

I was planning on doing Bayley and Ansel but I got sick of drawing these fucking wolves

Christian and Arden look purple. They looked brown on the computer screen. Imagine that they're brown.

Also just for the record I was heavily inspired by @/nin_ei 's (on Instagram) werewolf adopts, I didn't want the wolf forms to look completely like regular wolves because that'd get repetitive and boring but also didn't want them to look like somebody's fursona so their character designs were a lot of help when figuring out fur patterns and stylized wolf anatomy!!

Ancient Roman trading cards: Tribune Trouble!

Historical notes and artist attributions under the cut. For more silly trading cards, check out the Julio-Claudians.

Many famous Romans were tribunes of the plebs at some point, but I'm only featuring those who pushed that office to its limit, usually by causing trouble.

My aim here is to capture some of their personality while making history fun and silly. So, some of these facts come from ancient sources that might be biased or wrong, but I have tried to keep it plausible. Some of the art has been adapted from paintings of other Romans because it felt fitting for these guys. If you want to learn more about them, check out my favorite Roman history books!

Background color = highest office achieved. Orange for quaestors and tribunes, yellow for aediles, green for praetors, blue for consuls, purple for emperors and red for dictators. Everybody else gets gray.

crack theory

Cavendish is descended from Neal and Sara. He's had a similar hair color as Neal (before he went grey) and the same general, long face shape. He has light blue eyes like Sara. Canvendish is a pretty big Professor Time fan, in the same way Sara and Neal are Dr Zone fans. And you know. That whole thing about him dying might just be latent Murphy's law from generations prior.

And him being oblivious. 95% of those deaths were him being an idiot, but I think its worth mentioning.

tell me the milo lore, coward (lighthearted)

bet, to preface though, i am a gay lil shit and so theres a fair bit of oc x canon and weaving his backstory into pre-existing characters ect ect because its fun

the very basics!! Milo is an avatar of the dark that is not entangled in the whole mess of the peoples church of the divine host, however he does have some history with the catholic church.

BACKSTORY- START OF S1 STUFF

he was marked by the dark when he was very young, in an incident that ended up with his immediate family dead and him missing, during which he was also marked by the lonely. eventually he was found and was placed to live with his aunt (mothers side), who was a nun and got him into the church. he was unfortunately targeted and groomed by the priest (i dont know how to make that sound any less harsh my apologies) and generally did a lot of suffering in silence, all the while the temptations of the dark were eating at him. he made a plan to escape to go to college in london, but was found out and accused of being possessed (because they wanted to keep him in the church not out of any genuine concern of him being possessed). an exorcism was attempted on him and he ended up 'dying' in the process. his death was the catalyst for him becoming a full avatar (think like how jon only became a full avatar after pretty much dying in the unknowing) and he killed the priest in an act of revenge and then made his escape, still not knowing what exactly was going on with him as he didnt have any idea what the fears were. since he was declared dead he wasnt a suspect in the priests death, but had some trouble with creating a new identity to go by afterwards because he was still trying to live like a normal person and go to college and all that jazz.

in college was where he ended up meeting Oliver Banks, who took pity on him and finally explained what on earth was going on with him. the two dated briefly before they graduated, milo graduated with a bachelors in library science (if that is the correct name for it im not sure) and ended up getting a job in artifact storage in the magnus institute. (circa 2007, so gertrude era) he was pretty good at his job but was really quiet and private to the point he got a joke reputation for just being a ghost.

when jon became archivist he was transferred to the archives as an assistant, after a 'deal' with elias. elias would make sure he didnt have to hurt ppl to get fear, in return for making sure jon (he said everyone but he rlly only cared abt jon making it) lasted long enough for elias' goals (which he did not share with milo obviously). so milo was sent down to the archives to be a guard dog of sorts.

HOW HIS AVATAR SHIT WORKS

hes less associated with the whole cult-y aspect of the dark (and in fact actively despises the peoples church of the divine host despite their attempts to recruit him) and is closely tied to the 'brackish water' thats often associated with it. both his parents and the priest he killed died via their lungs being filled with black water. he needs skin to skin contact and intention in order to actually kill, which is why he constantly wears gloves, just in case. if he were to touch someone on. say, their chest, they'd get very cold, their throat would start to close and their vision would darken, like the background, other than milo, is fading to black. their lungs fill with black fluid and it usually pours from their mouth, nose and eyes. they basically drown on dry land and he's the only thing they see. its not super flashy and is usually very quiet up until when they yk. collapse

OTHER RELATIONS

the lukas family! milos father was one of the few lukas' that rejected the lonely and left, in an attempt to keep his children away from the lonely/the fears in general. however he sadly was unsuccessful.

Tim Stoker!! milo had a fwb situation with tim up until his death, the two had fallen for each other but never got the chance to say it, and with tim being so volatile in s3, when he learned that milo was an avatar they had a huge fight

Michael (distortion)! the two are.. i dont want to say friends but milo is very colorblind and that takes away so much of what makes the distortion scary so hes not very afraid of it, which it is fascinated by.

hes also got some history with @itschesshire 's ocs bastian and silas :))))

Gertrude Robinson. she pretty quickly found him out and they had a deal of sorts. they left each other alone and he wrote a statement (which jon later finds) as a sort of failsafe if he ended up being a problem for gertrude

OTHER????

he is a folk musician!! this has nothing to do with him being an avatar. boy just is trying to be as normal as he can ( i imagine he sounds like a mix of these two artists: https://youtu.be/HDHrQnIptq0?si=hCjZ-m_dJESkU5rW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMTaOoYXzEk)

hes a very kind and generally good person, and is very distraught with what hes done/has to do as an avatar

he cant go in the sun, at least not much

hes classically trained in piano

his shadow constantly changes, but never actually reflects his form like it should

he is CONSTANTLY cold

hes naturally blonde

im running out of things to put here just off the top of my head

What are some of Mira's and Milo's healthy and unhealthy habits?

ooooo thank u for the question! i'll give three for each piece but there may be more parts that aren't as obvious

Mira

Healthy:

Art in general! They have a bunch of different things they can be working on at one time and it helps distract when they keep obsessing over things.

They get outside a lot to explore. Are they good with directions? Debatable but not important in this context!

They know better than anyone that self-isolating does not help, so they more than likely to be hanging out with someone when they have low moods/intense stressors so they don't engage in their unhealthy habits.

Unhealthy:

Emotional regulation comes in changing up their appearance. New hair style, hair color(s), later on piercings and tattoos.

Skin picking. They will do it until they bleed and leave scabs, and since they heal faster, it means they can be on a repeated cycle until they find something else to fiddle with.

Biting also helps self-regulate. They have an accessory they sometimes wear when they're more stressed to assist them, otherwise they will bite their fingers to the point of breaking skin.

Milo

Healthy:

He tends to focus on self-care. A lot. He focuses on making sure his hair is nice and pretty, his skin is soft, and that he's in his relaxed zone with a good book (it's Bram Stoker's Dracula usually, but he will occasionally read his terrible condition Interview with the Vampire).

An open book on how he feels, he will not hesitate to tell you he likes or doesn't like something. He's also not afraid to communicate such at any given opportunity. The only time he's ever vague or passive aggressive is if he's communicated this want/need several times and has felt unheard.

Because he cares about his physical form, he workouts frequently. Not that it's easy to see under his attire (and that is on purpose), but he's got a good muscle build that he makes sure to maintain and does not skip leg day.

Unhealthy:

He will ghost people... For weeks. Months if the situation is that bad. Self-isolation and him are besties at this point.

Because he's open with his emotions, he will be nasty and mean to someone he doesn't like, willing to burn bridges before a connection can be made. He doesn't care if that comes to bite him later, he reasons it'll save him from suffering if he's upfront about it.

Don't put money in front of his face, he will spend it all within an afternoon. Worst idea one could have.

haven’t mentioned it much here cause i’ve been so hyper focused on dewey but i’ve also been continuing to work on milo & ranger’s behaviors (namely the barking at noises thing which makes me insane) and they’ll both quiet down with the “quiet” command about 70% of the time, which is cool!…….

………it’s still game over when someone opens the front door though.

i talked to my vet and she suggested i teach “place”. i was planning on doing this for dewey anyway, so that’s next on the list. the goal is that hopefully the dogs will eventually go to their own place when the front door opens versus rushing it (ranger usually initiates this rushing and barking/snarling).

to kinda warm them up, i’ve been having them sit stay when i open a door and “wait” before crossing the threshold. as they’ve gotten better at waiting, i’ve started to release them one at a time by saying their names, which they’ve had more success at than i thought they would. now we are incorporating a slow cross over the threshold versus a burst (milo and ranger specifically are bad about this).

anyway. that’s the current state of things. still managing dew’s guarding well by letting him eat in peace and playing the name game when handing out treats. he has so much energy i wonder if sometimes he becomes so aroused he can’t regulate for himself, which is why we’ve been hitting “leave it” and a sit stay hard lately. just working on building his baby confidence~

all of this is extra hard in a household with two other people who aren’t consistent in carrying the training over though. so i’ve set hard limits on my spouse who i have on management duty any time i’m not home (eliminating the possibility of a negative experience/setback). he’s going to dew’s kinderpup classes with us so that’s a start

guess who also has had a grumpy vampire oc for the last forever 🧍‍♀️ 😭 anyway tell about the story agnis is from !! or anything about your ocs, i love to hear it all. <3

i'm using this as an amazing segue to talk abt the kiddos!! (also omg?? us both having grumpy guys is so funny to me)

my tinys my everythings (info dumping below the cut !!)

bell:

she never ever uses her full name, it's always bell or maybe bella

she comes from a terrible horrible wealthy family,, agnis took her under their wing

they were reluctant at first, but now they'd do anything for that kid

i shamelessly project my audhd onto her,, she is me i am her

she has quite an extensive career change despite being a kid uh let's just say that she gets into a spot of trouble with the law & agnis cashes in a favor to earn her a space on a crew to keep her out of trouble

she's an aspiring creative but she struggles with motivation (especially during her arc) so she does very little actual creating

i've had her for almost as long as agnis and she's gone through so many changes u have no idea

milo:

this baby is a newer addition to the story actually he's technically only a few days old & this is his first design !!

but he's my son and i'd die for him

both of these kids are neurodivergent and will go on and on about their special interests to one another it's how they bond

milo is one of those kids who finds it harder to relate to people his own age, but what few friends he has he cherishes

he & bell annoyed the hell out of each other at first but by the time the story starts they're actually pretty chill

hey survival street fandom. ive like. never done anything like this and i dont think i have nearly enough followers for this. or for a matter of fact i dont even know if i know enough survival street fans for this. but like. do yall think they're gonna do anything with milo and irma in volume 2 im genuinely curious because my brain keeps going back and forth on it

do you think imp!angel smiled as they were executed
