are you awake?

prompt: "are you awake yet?" "no." "oh, okay sorry." remus lupin x reader

upcoming content: fluff! pls lmk if u think i missed anything. 1.8k words

authors note: despite any photos used in the header, it’s important that people of all races can identify with my work so please let me know if any of the descriptive language i use is exclusionary, i’m trying my best!

masterlist

you had no idea what time it was, your phone abandoned on the night stand atop remus' book. he had come over in a huff, one hand holding his cellphone, keys, and book all at once, the other holding a warm cup of hot chocolate he had picked up along the way.

"rem, is that you?" you called, fumbling with wrapping a towel around your just washed hair while keeping the other towel tucked under your arms. you weren't expecting to see him today at all, he had, in his own words, a fucking shitload of reading to catch up on and planned on spending the entire weekend holed up in his room.

you understood, having just finished your own finals, so you planned on spending the evening watching movies and finally removing the old nail polish that decorated your toes and repainting them. an easy, uneventful night.

“yeah, it’s me dove,” remus said, bending down to untie his laces, “sorry for just barging in on you like thi- did you just take a shower?”

he snapped his head up and drank you in, your body still damp from the hot water and the ends of the towel wrapped around your chest fell apart against your thigh revealing more of your smooth skin. your face was free of makeup or the tendrils of hair that constantly fell between your eyes that remus always brushed away.

“y’don’t have to do that every time, remus,” you said on your fourth date when his fingertips danced against your forehead once more that evening.

“you have to be able to see, darling, i don’t mind,” he replied as if this was something he was doing as a favor to you and not because he was so desperate to touch you in any way.

you looked beautiful, he thought.

“thank you, baby,” you let out, giggling at the sigh of your boyfriend still bent half over himself, looking up at you as if you would disappear if he wasn’t.

“did i say that out loud?”

“you did.”

“well, it’s true,” he had since walked over to you, setting his phone, keys, book and cup on the table and grasped at your shoulders, stamping a kiss to your forehead. in this moment, he felt all his tension wash away and reveled in the feeling of your warm skin under his and the vanilla scent of your shampoo wafting around him. he didn’t even remember why he was in such an annoyed mood earlier until you asked him how come he came over.

“ugh, i have to move out!” he exclaimed. this is something remus said maybe four times a week, seven if it was really bad. when james left his dishes piled up in the sink for too long, “i have to move out!” remus would say while ranting to you over breakfast the next day. when they went on a trip for a few days and sirius forgot to pack any underwear so he took it upon himself to borrow remus’, you woke up to a text from your boyfriend that simply read “i have to move out.” sent at 2:18 a.m. then “good morning” at 2:19 a.m. and “you better not be awake right now, dovey” at 2:20 a.m.

“what happened this time?”

“was trying to study ‘til those idiots had the bright idea of rolling bottles down the stairs, i mean who even thinks of that?”

you had to bite your lip to keep in your laughter. you had seen that trend all down your social media so you knew exactly where they got the idea from. but your sweet remus who had no profiles whatsoever, -unless you count the facebook page he made when james told him he had to have one at least-

“what do you mean it doesn’t count? you can share photos and talk to people.”

“it’s facebook! only mums use it. i’m making you a BeReal.”

“you’re making me be real?”

“oh, nevermind.”

had no idea and believed this was just another stupid activity his roommates shared brain cell came up with.

“i don’t know, remmy, people are weird,”

“right? anyway, i sat through listening to ‘clunk, clunk, clunk, smash! again, again, again!’ for about fifteen minutes before i had to get out of there so i thought to come here.”

a warmth started growing within your chest and spreading throughout your entire body. he thought to come here, to your place. your lanky, fluffy haired, nerdy boyfriend who you loved so so much thought to come to you. the smile that had spread across your face was so wide you knew remus knew exactly how you were feeling.

“don’t go all moony eyed on me now, sweetness,” he began, “i’m here because i still have a lot of work to do.”

“of course”

“with no distractions, at least for the next few hours,” he was looking down at you with a familiar look in his eye and you couldn’t even bother to feign cluelessness. the image of remus bent over a book, concentrated look on his face and glasses slowly slipping down his nose was irresistible to you and when you two studied together, it caused a lot of assignments to go untouched.

“alright, i’ll leave you be. but i expect some form of compensation for my good behavior.”

“hence the hot chocolate, for you dove,” he handed you the tall paper cup he had brought in with him and you smiled as it was still warm enough to drink.

“oh wow, my boyfriend and a hot chocolate? it’s like my birthday!” you laughed as remus rolled his eyes and started setting himself up at your kitchen table.

“you can’t say that whenever i get you something, you need to have higher expectations for your birthday silly girl, or i really will just get you a drink and that’ll be it.” he said and the last thing he heard was you laughing down the hallway.

hours had passed and your hair was dry, toe nails now a light peachy color, and one and a half movies had been watched. you mainly kept to your room, only coming out to get a drink and set some biscuits out for remus who hadn’t even looked up. you were sure a bomb could off in the building across the street and he wouldn’t notice. he was so concentrated that all you wanted to do was press your fingers to his temples and relieve his pretty face of the wrinkles, surely his eyes were sore as well, but you knew better than to bother him.

it wasn’t until it was dark out that remus had finally slumped against your bedroom door and trudged like a zombie to your bed, face planting right into your lap. his calves were hanging over the edge so you grabbed his face and shuffled yourselves closer to the headboard. remus was laughing, the feel of his lips tickling your stomach, and with that information he only began to blow raspberries on your belly button.

“remus stop i’m serious!” you let out and lifted his head up, your hands pushing his cheeks up causing his lips to reach up into a smile. he looked so soft, and happy, but obviously tired.

“‘m finished with all m’reading, dove,” his speech was slurred, surely from exhaustion.

“i’m very proud of you baby, you’re so hard working.”

he wrapped the comforter around both of you, and flipped onto his side, pressing his back to your front. he must have been really out of it because he never let you be the big spoon.

“but don’t you like being held?”

“i like holding you. besides it just makes more sense that way, i’m much taller.”

“there’s no sense to cuddling!”

“there’s sense to everything!”

“i am hard working! and they don’t care, all they care about is smashing things and making lots of noise. i have to move out.” he grumbled.

you ran your fingers through his hair, letting him mumble on, knowing he’ll soon fall asleep.

“well, you’re always welcome here, my love.”

he sighed and pressed a kiss to your wrist, “i know,” he spoke softly, the two words so full of content he could hardly stand it. he thought every day how lucky he was to have you in his life. a love full of soft kisses and hot chocolates and intertwining under moonlight. “i love you so much.”

“i love you too, now get some sleep.”

the night had come and gone, remus sleeping away in your arms and the sun was shining through your curtains. you slowly lifted your arm off him and felt around for your phone, careful not to disturb him. the screen flashed 10:15 a.m., meaning remus had been sleeping for close to twelve hours now.

it made sense due to how tired he was yesterday, but you had done nothing but relax, so your body was ready to get up and start the day. you answered a few messages telling marlene you’d had to get back to her about if you and remus could make it to brunch in a few hours and sending a rolling eyes emoji to james who sent you a number of videos of bottles rolling down the stairs.

remus shifted, unconsciously flexing his back, and you froze. it wasn’t until he began cracking his knuckles individually that you knew he was awake, you still asked though.

“are you awake yet.”

“no.”

“oh, okay, sorry.”

“mmm.”

two minutes passed, “are you awake now.”

“are my eyes open?”

“no, but you are speaking to me, and this isn’t what you usually say when you sleep talk.”

“i don’t sleep talk!” he let out, craning his neck to look at you perplexedly.

“got you to open your eyes, didn’t i?” you said with a wry smile. his look of confusion morphed into annoyance that you both knew was fake and he fully turned so you were both facing each other now.

“i haven’t slept that good in a long time,” he said lowly, his voice still rough from sleep.

“finals are over now, rem, you can sleep for as long as you want.”

he smiled and tangled your fingers together, opening his mouth to say something back when his stomach rumbled loudly.

“that wasn’t very sexy, was it?”

you giggled and shook your head, finally throwing the covers off yourself.

“nope, but that’s okay, marlene wants us to meet her for brunch in thirty minutes, so we better get a move on, sleepy head.”

remus groaned and reached for his designated dresser from the bed and pulled out whatever shirt and bottoms were on the top of the piles. the two of you got ready in comfortable silence and while you were sitting on the floor, pulling up the zipper on your boots, remus realized that he really could see himself moving in here. always doing his course work at your kitchen table, picking up a hot drink for you at the coffee shop two streets away, not because it was on his way to you, but because it was on his way home.

“ready, baby?” you asked, now standing at full height, holding your hand out to him.

i’m ready to wake up here every morning. “ready,” he said, wrapping his hand around yours.

No. 2 - Kalitta Air

I’m really thrilled by how much you all enjoyed my Lufthansa rant. Here’s something...a little different. Just to rub in that I don’t inherently hate liveries just for having a mostly white fuselage, I wanted to talk about an example of that being done a lot better. I will also be doing so in a length which will probably be a bit more typical of this blog. I hope you all enjoy it regardless!

Kalitta Air (formerly Connie Kalitta Services and American International Airways; callsign “Connie”) is a cargo airline headquartered in Ypsilanti, Michigan. You see their planes around a lot if you randomly click on flightradar24 flights, especially over North America, but they don’t carry passengers, so to my knowledge they’re not a household name. At least, the friends I surveyed had never heard of them.

(image: kalitta air)

But their low profile conceals some pretty stylish planes. So, let’s discuss!

Like I said, I don’t blanket dislike mostly-white liveries just because most of them are super boring and Lufthansa’s in particular is terrible! So I wanted to follow it up immediately with an example of a mostly white livery which I really like - Kalitta Air’s sleek and iconic paint job, which the airline adopted (as far as I can tell from digging around) in the late 1980s.

It truly feels like Connie Kalitta’s main gig as a racecar driver transferred to the look of the planes with his name written on the side. (...what is it with racecar drivers and starting airlines? I mean, two nickels, but...)

The majority of Kalitta Air’s fleet are Boeing 747s, which does add to the look, in my opinion. Their fleet even contains the last 747-400 ever built! The iconography feels like it transitions well into the hump, and the entire thing looks balanced.

(image: kalitta air)

I’ll be honest, something is definitely lost on the remainder of the airline’s fleet, made up of Boeing 777s, in a pretty major way, but it doesn’t cancel out just how much I love the look of the 747s. Still, because the airline has kept this livery for so long, we can look back to the past to experience it on all sorts of shapes.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I still prefer the 747. That’s pretty incredible - I’m of the opinion that nearly all liveries look their best on a TriStar, so that opinion is a testament to just how incredibly good this livery looks on the Queen. It’s an acceptable-to-good livery on any plane, don’t get me wrong, but the core 747 fleet wears it transcendently well. (I am ignoring the 777s.)

If you’ve seen a Kalitta Air plane for more than a few seconds it’s likely the pictured N700CK, which got to flip a few assorted vehicles with her jet blasts in the 2007 Mythbusters episode “Supersized Myths”. Their 747s have been used in other media, but this is the main example. I think they couldn’t have picked a more striking plane to use.

Just look at the thing! The combination of red and gold makes it feel flashy and fast, a feeling which is added to by the swooping hockey-stick cheatlines which add a lot of interest to the fuselage with very little paint. It makes the plane feel streamlined and almost reminds me of the sort of paint jobs used on early high-speed trains.

(image: Science Museum Group Collection)

The font itself even feels fast, while being massive and quite legible even despite the shape of the A, and framed nicely on each side by the little wings. It does look a little like if a racecar was a cargo plane, and I love it. It’s not exactly maximalist, but every detail from the letters’ even heights to the ratio of gold to red feels perfect.

If you’re going to do a mostly white paint job (and there are plenty of reasons that airlines generally prefer to), this is how you do it.

Final Grade: A

N.B. For the sake of my own mental health, I am not going to touch on the atrocious revision of two years ago in this post. At the least, it looks like they’re not repainting old airframes and they have a small-ish fleet so they’re not bulk-buying new ones or anything, which means this livery will probably be around for the remainder of the service life of many fairly new freighters. Because of that, I do not consider the classic hockey stick Kalitta livery to be retired, and will not be tagging it as such. That said, since it’s not their current livery for new planes, I also am not classifying it as a 2020s livery.

Did I post this already?

Anyway. I can't take full credit of the art, since I basically repainted some Pinterest pins. However, both symbols in this are my tattoos, so I decided to combine them Into a Profile picture.

I really like how it turned out.... Then again I really love my tattoos XD

"Very brave of you to come down here!", Wesker's unmistakable light raspy voice sounded behind Haddie, who was about to make a move on the chest. She let go of the lock, which let out a soft metallic clack after it hit the chest. The young woman straightened up and half turned towards the uniformed person, so that he could only see her profile. Haddie was calm. Her determined gaze was fixed on Wesker. He did little to frighten her. "And you have nothing better to do than follow me down here, Blondie?" the young woman spoke in a calm and firm voice, her lips twisted into a slight smirk. She turned away from the box, the contents not that important, before walking up to Wesker and stopping in front of him. "So?" she asked him, reminding him of her question when no answer came from him. "And what about you? Don't you actually have something better to do than be down here?", instead of answering he threw the question back to her. Once again he bypassed her question. What he did more often. As he spoke, he walked around her. Circled her. Like a cat playing with its prey, just waiting for the right moment to strike! Undeterred, Haddie stood calmly, knowing all too well the feeling of being circled by a predator. Even when Wesker grabbed her after standing behind her, holding his knife to her throat, she remained calm. He was just playing with her, trying to scare her! "Very brave or very stupid to put yourself in this death zone, Haddie!" the girl heard his voice close to her ear. She pushed the air out of her lungs in amusement. Without much resistance, Haddie pushed his hand with the knife away from her and freed herself without any problems. She walked slowly and smoothly to the stairs and turned to Wesker one last time. "You disappoint me by wasting your time with you!", Haddie emphasized the words the way he always pronounced them, "I'd say playtime is over, blondie! For now!" Before hurrying upstairs to get away from the basement to finish the exam, Haddie threw a few last words at his head, "Au revoir, À plus tard!" Then she was gone, leaving a Wesker alone in the basement.

Hello, It's me again... after a long time again.. I Know! OTL

And thank you to reading until this point, I had only a small Idea for a small Fanfanfiction behind this Artwork, but i was longer as I though ^^' Sorry for any grammar mistake!

Or... you skip only the Story-Section... ^^'

Well, then: Welcome to the Description!

I do not know what to say about it. The idea for the picture I had already had a little longer in the head and now finally get implemented.

For the background I chose the basement, because I think it fit the color scheme of the image best! Even though it currently seems a bit like it's the endgame broken out and the clock is ticking…. Maybe it's actually the collapse and Haddie has to run fast right away to get to the gate in time!

To that it is the first picture what I protect with Glaze against AI theft! If you have perhaps noticed the small Unfeinheiten on the picture and wondered what that is: Glaze protection!

I'm just realising i never asked you abt your Alain hcs so... Tell me your Alain hcs 🔫 🦆

(the number of times i typed s instead of a in alains name: 2. One for each a)

HI TUMBLR DELETED MY ORIGINAL RESPONSE TO THIS BC IT HATES ME so uhm. Lemme dig in my brain again.

SO. In my head Alain is non-binary. She uses she/he pronouns! She’s AROACE!! Meaning no shipping sorryguys although I respect some pairings.. except marissonshipping dont be freaks guys sorry. She’s Paldean-Kalosian too! She also has two facial scars. One over his nose (A result of Lysandre’s Pyroar) and one on his bottom lip. The bottom lip one is bc when he’s nervous he bites his lip (very strongly), and considering he has a little fang it left a tiny scar.

She likes to do her eyeshadow, although she kinda sucks at it. Mairin paints her nails, but she picks at them a lot when nervous, so Mairin’s constantly repainting them.

During the Kalos anime (and TSME specials) he’s 15-16, and during the M8 episodes he’s 19-20!

His Charizard is nicknamed Thorn (Like the uhm. Eragon dragon I believe?) and the metagross in her team nicknamed Cobalt was gifted to her as a gift from Steven! He also has a ribombee nicknamed Pixie by Mairin which decided it was gonna stick with him during a trip to Alola.

He still works with Sycamore (his official dad now btw), trying to unravel Mega Evolution, but nowadays he usually keeps a low profile, barely ever going out, always looking behind his shoulder, and is acutely aware of everything happening around him.

His scarf was a gift from Sycamore, while his dangly earring was a gift from both Cosette and Sophie!

He still loves battling, but after the Kalos crisis he gave up his key stone alongside Thorn’s Charizardite X, but he later got a set of accesories that held these stones again. It was a group gift! The necklace Mairin and Steven got, and the stones were courtesy of Sycamore!

Btw in my head she wasn’t fucking humiliated by Leon in M8. She still lost but it was a PROPER FIGHT.

TY FOR THIS I LOVE TALKING ABOUT HIM IM VERY NORMAL

Have some screenshots I edited too!

#pokemon #alain pokemon #pokemon xyz #tsme #alain for pokémon masters ex 2024 #im so ill maybe #ill keep it short this time! <- abojt to write five paragraphs

Penny Valley Profile: Evelyn Stanier

Hi all, just as a quick heads-up, I'll be taking some historical liberties with withdrawal dates, build dates and service careers in these, so sorry rivet-counters. Also, sorry for the shitty artwork, I did it in school :P

Pre-Preservation

Evelyn is a London, Midland and Scottish Railway 8F locomotive built in 1942. Upon her completion, she was immediately requisitioned for use by the Royal Engineers in hauling trains in North Africa. When returned in 1945, she was repainted and allocated to Barrow Hill depot where she'd serve diligently until her withdrawal in 1964.

Preservation

In 1970, Mr. Luke and Mr. Hughes found Evelyn rusting away in a siding near Newton Abbot, where she had supposedly been forgotten about. She was quickly snapped up by the pair and hauled by road to Rattery Engine Works. There, they stripped her down to nuts and bolts and reassembled her from the ground up, refurbishing what they could and replacing what they couldn't. When she returned to traffic in 1976, she was very eager to work. During her trials though, it was found that she was near-sighted to the point it was a miracle she hadn't caused a major accident. Rattery works quickly fabricated a pair of glasses for her use and she's been a loyal worker ever since.

Personality/Characteristics

Evelyn, despite her size and strength, is a very shy engine. She struggles with basic interactions with anyone she doesn't know, often mulls on awkward moments and sometimes even sweats during conversations. The one remedy to this is Luna. Her and Luna are quite possibly the closest friends on the line, with some speculating it could be even more. Luna's feistiness and stubbornness balances out with Evelyn's shyness and generally being something of a doormat. Even though she lets people walk all over her, she tries her best to be a good friend to Luna and the others.

Closing

All in all, Evelyn is an engine that works best when not in the spotlight, preferring (and sometimes needing) to take a backseat role to do a good job.

Thank you all for reading and I hope to see you in the next one.

Cheerio!

A popular doll repainter just went on a bizarre transphobic rant on Instagram. Tbh I hadn't checked her profile in years so I didn't see the big CONSERVATIVE in the bio. Just weirds me out because you'd think especially someone that works primarily with Monster High wouldn't be so vile but oh well. Blockedt.

Sleepy Reviews: Deuce Gorgon (Amazon Exclusive)

G3 Deuce Gorgon ($24.99) with his accessories

The boys of G1 Monster High have been my favorite boy dolls of any doll line ever, to the point I have gone out of my way to collect one of every single boy character that had been made. I adore them immensely, so obviously, when I had to pick one to review, I had to pick the original Manster himself, Deuce.

He’s got a lot to live up to, so is Mr. Gorgon a worthy entry to my massive MH boy collection? Let’s find out:

This particular Deuce Gorgon is Amazon Exclusive, but there is another version in a 2-pack with Frankie that is target exclusive, which is honestly pretty amazing considering Mattel’s seeming aversion to boy characters previously. Two Deuce dolls right out of the gate? Go off then.

Keep that energy up Mattel and you have my attention. Especially if Jackson and Holt return. Please Mattel I’ll do anything. Anything. 🥺🙏

Ahem.

Anyway, the box design is serviceable. I don’t love it, but it gets the job done.

I think of lot of it is this artwork. It’s not bad, and it’s clearly trying to tie into the style of the Nickelodeon MH show, it just doesn’t grab the eye as much as I wish it did.

The back features more of the same art, as well as a full body image of Deuce, as well as a short profile for the character.

Not a lot of info, just the basics in multiple languages. It’s fine.

Some unique symbol art work for the edge of the box. A nice call back to the original boxes.

Let’s get him out of the box for a closer look:

Boom. Out of box. Magic of television.

He’s a handsome fellow, I like the new sculpt, and it’s fun they made him green.

Back view for everyone.

I love the way his eyebrows are painted. The individual hairs and expression bring a lot for me.

The only thing I might’ve changed is just the color of his snakes, I feel like they clash with his skin just a little. If they had more of a yellow undertone than blue, or maybe were just a shade or two darker, I think it would’ve looked a lot better.

Not a deal breaker, but I might add a paint wash later to adjust the color and bring out the detail though.

I do like the actual sculpt of the scales though.

I loved Deuce’s fainted mohawk look in G1 and I think it was a nice choice for his default here.

Let’s move away from our boy here for a sec, and look at his accessories. Let’s start with his pet:

Perseus returns with his own redesign.

It’s alright, I actually loved the original MH pets, so I don’t mind them being included, but they look more like the modern Barbie pets this time around. which is hit and miss.

Honestly I do think he’s cute, I just wish he was maybe more in scale. All the pets are the same size and general shape this time around, and with the even more cartoon-y design they end up looking less unique.

He does still have his twin tails though!

All the ghouls come with iCoffins (Are they still iCoffins? Surely a few monsters have spooky-pun Androids), and Deuce is no exception.

His phone case is, of course, snake themed:

How cute. I love snakes.

Along with phones, everyone also comes with a snack and a drink, for some reason, totally not trying to pad out the box, but anyway:

I tease, but actually I do think the little snacks are cute. I like his Medusa head water bottle.

The cupcake has a snake for frosting! Frosting snake! How cute.

Deuce also comes with a little tin of what I presume is scale wax. Gotta keep those scales shiny.

Like all Deuce dolls, he has a pair of sunglasses, with, one again, a snake design. It’s all snakes here folks.

See? Snake back back. I’d made to look like it’s made of snake skin. Which feels a little like a human carrying a bag made of hair. Hmm.

It does open though:

I do think the color is a little... bright. Actually, it’s not even the brightness, it’s just that it clashes. Def repainting this one.

Deuce is a barista in this generation of MH, so his doll comes with a little apron:

It’s fine, and I’m glad his love of cooking seems to be making a comeback, but it does feel a little... idiosyncratic, but does make a good segue into...

Clothes!

The most important part of a fashion doll.

Let’s start with his jacket, because I love it. It’s made of a nice denim-esque material, it has real pockets, it’s finished nicely, and just generally looks great.

Hope you’re not tired of snakes yet though, because we have more!

Snake shirt!

Also very nicely made.

Snake pants!

Construction of them is fine, but the material does feel pretty cheap. My least favorite of the fabric pieces.

Snake shoes!

They’re fine. I’m indifferent to them tbh.

It’s all snakes!

It’s also the last of his outfit, so let’s look at what’s under the clothes:

G2 MH/BTS body, G3 MH body, G1 MH body

As you can see, this body uses a different sculpt to previous Monster High boys. It’s shorter, and the thickest in the waist do far, but also has smaller hands and feet.

Honestly, I like the other two bodies better, but I don’t dislike this body either. Mostly I miss the bigger hands and feet.

See what I mean? If you were hoping G3 shoes would fit the G1 boys, unfortunately, they do not. I wonder if this change was made so kids could use Ken shoes with the boys?

Deuce’s body also have a few quality issues:

That seam line is deep, and there’s a very noticeable ridge there.

Plus he’s got a little warping from the packaging, but that can at least be fixed with hot water.

Let’s go ahead and put our boy back together, with all his accessories:

Is it just me or does he look a little... disjointed? I think it’s the shoes. They’re a different color in the box art, and I think they looked better there.

Yeah, they had more green and seemed to be a bit lighter.

Final thoughts?

He’s just a little hit and miss for me, unfortunately. I feel like they were trying to hard to stick to a certain out line of what each doll gets to come with, that it ended up with him coming with things I think would’ve ben better left off or exchanged with something else.

Instead of an apron, it would’ve been cool if he could’ve had a belt, or instead of snacks, maybe an armband, earring, ect.

I like the snacks, they’re cute. but why come with this doll? Why not save them for another?

Also, some of the color choices feel random. I’m all for unique color schemes, but we’ve got 5 different greens and four different purples. It doesn’t feel intentional, and more like an error.

But there’s also things I do like, I like his face sculpt, his jacket is fantastic, and I think it would be very easy for me to fix what I don’t like with a restyle.

Mind you, I’ve opened up a few other G3 dolls, and some are better than others.

At the end of the day you have to decide what’s a deal breaker for you. For me? I’m happy with him, despite my criticisms. I’m happy to add him to my collection, and in general I’ve been enjoying G3.

Do I think I’ll collect G3 boys with the intensity I had for G1? Eh. Bring Jackson and Holt back and then we’ll talk.

Please Mattel I am begging. At least give us that Holt Reproduction. Please?

Hi there. Your Gog and Magog post came across my dash and I clicked on your profile. First I gleefully exclaimed that I’ve finally found an active LMM peer on tumblr but second I wondered if you could share where you found your Staffordshire’s. :) I’ve been searching for a green pair for a very long time.

Hi!!!! Well if you found me, you didn’t just find one active Maud peer, but a bunch! Do you ever check out all the Montgomery tags — for her name and book titles? It is hard to keep a fandom in one place when there’s so many split ways to abbreviate and tag an authors name (I can think of about eight options off hand for Maud) overall.

I found my pair just by utilising Google, they came from an Antique Dealer in London (the Staffordshire homeland). They cost about $450 CAD, which is, I realise, a ton for just some old glazed dogs. I’m in no way saying this to look fancy (I saved up for months and kept dutifully checking the listing every single day, just praying they hadn’t been sold), it’s just that there was extra costs for the pair I found because: they’re authentic from 1860 (there are fakes and reproductions out there), they’re big guys standing at 10.5 inches, rare because their front feet were separated from the rest of their body, and yes! The scarce green colour spots!

You’re not alone in having a hard time finding green spots! Maud herself fruitlessly set out on this task on her UK honeymoon and ultimately came back with her white and golds. These are, to this day, the most prominent race of Staffordshire’s and way easier to come by! But… greens are still out there! I found this pair just now, and they’re a great price! The only drawbacks are that it looks to me (read: not an expert) that someone repainted their eyes at some point and that they’re the smaller variety, like about six inches tall, maybe. And they’re more green-gold than just green. But! If they don’t suit you, and you feel like keeping the search going, send me a message of what you’re looking for and I’ll be glad to help and join the hunt!

I'm bored, could I draw Ciaran? I study Graphic and Fashion Design, but I draw for fun, and I'm no expert. I love character design, so could you give me some information on Ciaran's appearance and fashion style so I can give it a try?

Give me super-duper ✨️details✨️ appearance and fashion style please!! That would help me a lot.

If you want to ofc.

Of course! Anyone is free to draw any of my OCs/MC whenever they want! I know most of them don't have descriptions adslkfj but I actually spent WAY too many hours making picrews of them all so I could finally create their profile posts. I'm too lazy to make moodboards for everybody like I did for Ciaran and Arsenios.

Oh, anyway, sorry I got a bit off topic there!

You are absolutely welcome to draw Ciaran if you feel so inspired!

OH BOY. You want super duper details, eh? That's like... my specialty lol. Here I go!

Body-wise, Ciaran is on the shorter side for someone who is amab. I tend to think of them as like 5'4" and a half, but they round that up to 5'5" lol. That's pretty average for most people, but Ciaran comes from a family of tall peeps. Plus I think of most of the demons as being between 5'10" and like... 6'4" so comparatively, Ciaran is quite short. They're also chubby. Definitely all soft and round, with a sorta hourglass figure shape. Mostly hips and belly, but nothing crazy proportion-wise.

They're Irish so you know, rather pale. Not really freckled but will get them if they spend a lot of time in the sun.

Naturally black hair, but they dye it blue. This means the color can vary. Since they bleach their black hair to dye it blue, when they've freshly dyed it, it'll be a deeper more vibrant blue. But if it's been a while, it'll be a more sky blue color. It's short, the back goes to maybe the middle of their neck while the front stops around their chin. Side part that varies sides because it's wild. Not curly, but very wavy and just kinda all over the place. It's juuuust long enough to put into a tiny ponytail, which they will do sometimes. But more often if they need it out of their face, they'll clip it back with some kinda cutesy barrette. (I think Asmo has probably given them a ton of these lol.)

Their eyes are mostly dark green with maybe a hint of lighter green in the depths. They're also one of those lucky people who have long eyelashes. And they don't dye their eyebrows, so they're just black. And they're not super thick, but perhaps thicker than average? I'm not super dedicated to that detail, though.

Face is very round, due to the chubby lol. They get their ears pierced while in the Devildom, but they don't start out with that so it just depends. When the ears are pierced, they wear simple studs.

Style-wise, I describe Ciaran's style as hipster with a side of punk. They like corduroy and sweaters, but then they'll wear Converse shoes and leather jackets. Usually wears paint stained overalls when they're painting. They like bright colors so most of their sweaters/t-shirts are blue, yellow, or green. Pretty much always wearing sneakers, I'd say they have a single pair of Converse that are their favorites and they wear those all the time. Probably just black and white.

They carry around a brown leather messenger bag situation where they keep all their stuff.

Known to wear scarves whenever it's even a tiny bit cold and they're all like... plaid lol. Definitely has a preference for green/blue plaid, but will wear red/black plaid as well. Sometimes wears pants with those patterns, too.

When dressing up a little, they'll go with fancy pants, suspenders, and a bow tie with their usual Converse because they care most about comfort.

They often have their nails painted, but the colors vary depending on their mood. (Likely Asmo does this for them when they live in the HoL. Left to his own devices, Ciaran isn't super reliable about repainting his nails so they're often chipped as hell lol.)

HOWEVER. On special occasions, Ciaran will completely glam it up.

For instance, if the demons really want him to get snazzy, he will wear a three piece suit. Like it's kinda he doesn't care about this stuff. Most of the time, they prefer comfort, but if they want to, they can absolutely rock a suit and look good doing it.

Likely they're going to do some glitz with that, though. Wearing gold jewelry and having Asmo do their makeup. Style their hair so it isn't as crazy lol.

And sometimes, Ciaran will also glam it up femme style. This is very much a situation where they let Asmo dress them up, basically. But even back in the human world, they would do this. It usually involved borrowing their sister's clothes, which is funny because she's a lot taller. But Ciaran will just put on some heels and call it good.

When they do stuff like this, they like to get really flashy. So it's all sequins and glitter and such. They'll do their hair in a fancy updo or curl it or something. They definitely like that kinda old school Hollywood glam style. But this is a rare occurrence because they don't care to bother doing it most of the time. And they're also the type who will like... go to bed with a full face of makeup because they're too tired to take it off. And like if they're doing this, you know they're planning on partying.

Anyway, now that I've written an essay's worth about Ciaran's appearance and style, I hope that helps! You asked for details and well... here they are lol!

#sorry I got rambly #but I have thought about all this stuff a lot #'cause Ciaran is like... my lil baby you know lol #obey me mc #misc mc ciaran #opal0684 #misc answers
