Asking specifically about: Astrid, Reki, Finch, and Iris! :)
O...oh my, thank you so much Anni <33
Astrid:
Fun fact about Astrid: I believe she's the only one of us who's ever seriously considered having biological children? Which strikes me as odd every time I remember it, because it seems so out-of-character for her. But I guess I should remember that Astrid has several layers of complexity to her, and apparently one of those layers has a strong maternal instinct. ^^;
Reki:
She oscillates between extreme sadness and extreme affection; she believes this makes her very difficult to "deal with" because people never know "which Reki" they're going to get. She has a deeply held belief that if she's not her "happy self" all the time then people are going to get sick of her, so she tends to hide herself away and be very quiet when she's feeling sad. Thankfully she has @sundropglass , particularly Hail and Dosy, who want to hold her safe and sound no matter her mood <3
Finch:
Our newest-discovered part, but she's been around for a long while! She comes out to draw or be otherwise artsy, and she's not particularly interested in socializing with most people while doing so. We used to call her the "feral crafter" because she would just...show up, go into an unbroken trance-like state of drawing or creating, and then leave once it was done...sometimes 10 hours later. She's closest in age to Moss and Rei, in the 6-10yo range.
Iris:
She's become a bit of a mystery to us; we haven't heard from her in a very long time, except for one time recently when she appeared to deal with an acute crisis situation. We theorize that she's either dormant and only surfaces to handle crises, or has possibly fused with Abel. Once upon a time, she worked alongside Mal as a guardian and provided us with very cold, analytical guidance, but it's been quite a while since that was her role. Our metaphorical awareness of her is that she's turned into an alabaster statue seated in her old observatory.

thinking about Will’s infamous answer to ‘how would you do it’ to Hannibal in s2b and how the closer he gets to his goal, after he kills Tier bare handed, he starts wearing leather gloves with Freddie and Mason, and the disconnect that sparks because the phrase ‘with my (bare) hands’ is SO intimate of a threat -> i need to be sure of your death, i need to enact it, i need my prints left behind, i need your corpse to bear the mark of my intentions, i do not wish or care to hide what i have done so long as it’s clear that i was the one to do it -> Yet because of the gloves, there’s now a barrier, a subtle hesitation that belays the coming larger one, he knew before he called that he couldn’t follow through the way he originally stated but it was too late to back out and too raw to go further and after it all, his forgiveness was a knife because he still couldn’t bear to fulfill his own threat until the end when he did it wounded and bloody with love and Hannibal’s permission

#additional cursed thought: would armand on have tiktok??? discuss
Armand definitely has a Tiktok. He films all of his videos with his real eye color and everyone assumes he’s super dedicated to the contact lens aesthetic. He makes one (1) video wearing the Rashid contacts and gets a million comments saying “your eyes are so beautiful, please stop wearing those creepy contacts” and he quits the app for two months.
He also forces Daniel to be in videos with him and Daniel hates it. There’s a raging debate in the comments section every time about if he is Armand’s dad or his boyfriend. There’s a small but loyal faction that are entirely dedicated to thirsting over Daniel and they comment stuff like “well either way I wanna call him daddy.” Armand has 27 different sock puppet accounts that he cyberbullies these people on.
this is so fucking galaxy brained, I’m in awe of your mind. absolutely no notes except that I think I wheezelaughed so hard at it that I woke up all dogs in a twenty kilometer radius of my home.
also because I couldn’t NOT
….and a small look at the comments:

yo my friend, may i also do the thing you are doing with the numbers and corresponding parts like on my own blog if i give you credit :0c I would also like to do this lol
also um, gimme.. number.... 17
o yea of course!!! you don't even gotta give credit, it's just a fun lil thing to do <3
17 issss butterfly Rue! we're pretty sure she's the newest shade of rue, since we've only been aware of her since she started talking to Hail in the last year. the other rues are hypervigilent n tense, but butterfly rue is a little more relaxed, like the fight has drained out of her. Hail says she's like a butterfly that flies around him and eventually lands on him to rest, which is how she got her codename. she says affection still feels foreign to her so she's a bit awkward with giving or receiving it, but she likes to try whenever she can, and she trusts Hail implicitly <3

I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
Okay so honestly I have been very very inconsistent over the years with just disappearing for periods of time due to various things 😂 So it probably seemed pretty normal to most people.
But it felt different on my side, so I'm excited to be back in business.
I took a month long hiatus! 31 days of not drawing digital art.
Its not something I talk about on here? But I've been suffering from some serious long term Art Burnout for.... a really really long time. Long enough that I should've taken a break probably years ago. It finally got so bad that I could barely draw. I was scared to do it (cause it always looked "bad" in my eyes [i'll come back to that]) and doing it was exhausting and disheartening.
I talked it over with somebody and realized that the fear and anger and frustration I felt towards my own artwork was uh. Not Normal or Healthy. And I finally committed to taking a real break for once.
I still drew a little bit by hand? Traditional art has always felt like it has lower stakes for me (i don't often share it online, and sometimes I don't even share it with friends) so I did some of that when I felt like it. But Digital art was completely off the table.
I had put such an immense pressure on myself to make my digital art perfect, to make as much of it as quickly as possible to satisfy something. It wasn't fun anymore. I'm proud of what i've made over the years! But for a long time now the stuff I've been making was made while hating every second of making it. With some rare exceptions.
I hated my art! It was a combination of Perfectionism, taking in too many external expectations, and the burnout. If you hate doing something its kinda hard to love it even when you want too lol. It wasn't "Bad" in the sense that the quality was low and it was ugly! It was "Bad" in the sense that it was unhealthy for me to keep doing it at that point in time.
I'm glad to report though, that with my hiatus officially over as of Wednesday last week: I am once again. In Love. With doing art, and being an artist :)
I put off taking a break for years cause I was scared that taking a break would mean that I would never achieve all the things I wanted to do with art. I was scared it was a stupid and lazy thing to do that would mean I'd never achieve my dreams. And Also even though I kinda hated drawing, I also loved making art. Its a weird duality that I can't even really explain??? I hated it but I also loved it. I wanted it but I also wanted to run from it. It wasn't until I was more mature and had more clarity and insight (and unfortunately also until the problems got worse) that I was finally able to let go of those fears and just do it.
And I'm really really glad I did. It was everything I needed. And I hope to strike a better balance in the future with art. Taking more breaks when I need them, or just when other things have my attention like reading or Video games (Some star rail got played during this time xD)
From the outside things probably aren't going to be that different?? At this point I don't really have any sure plans to post anything I've been drawing since my Hiatus ended. I might or I might not xD I'm still a hobbyist artist taking things at her own pace, but I hope that it shows how much happier I am :)
Whumptober 2023 is being officially put to rest by this post btw! I was in major burnout when that event started, and I'm ready to just, move on from all the past expectations I'd shoved on my shoulders. If I feel like filling any of the prompts or going back to any of the ideas I'd come up for it I will! But I'm not going to worry about doing it unless the desire sets in.
Thanks to everybody who's been so kind to me throughout my time on here as an artist! Ya'lls tags and screaming and kind words, the fanfic, the asks and the responses? Its been fantastic :) You guys have made me laugh, smile, and cry tears of joy. I hope from here that things only get better and sweeter! And if I have bad days again, that's okay too.
Here's to 2024 and whatever it may bring ya'll :D 🎉🎉✨✨🧡💜
