Well, after learning that beautiful piece of information
I'm gonna send you the ask I was planning to even before this, which is kinda strange (but cool)
What I noticed was that everyone we know from Aiden's family tree had a story that would fit into a fairy-tale book (for better or worse)
We have what happened to the Alder king that became a legend
We have Aiden's story as the Seer who saves the world
We have the prince and the hunter with Henry
And Milan and Ranva (apparently my current obsession for some reason, so please talk about them!). The love story of a human and a fae princess(?). Stealing a beautiful girl from her evel husband and making a family. A tale ending in tragedy.
I was listening to the song dancing and the dreaming from httyd 2 and it really reminds me of them.
You are right, the lives of Aiden, Henry and their parents do kind of feel like out of a fairytale book, but only in some aspects.
Yet their stories are no fairytales.
Henry’s is maybe, in a way. After all, he’s the hunter that married a prince. He went from not feeling like he belongs to finally finding his place. But now his life is quite ordinary, as ordinary as it can be for a king.
Aiden’s story, on the other hand, is much more like a heroic epic. He is facing situations that make him grow as a person and achieves great things. Before that, he was living an ordinary life. One he wants to go back to eventually.
And then we have Ranva and Milan. They are a tragic love story. Two people whose love mastered great odds and brought them happiness- only for it to be lost in the end.
And here we have it again, the wish to be ordinary. Ranva treasured their normal family life more than anything. This is as much a part of this family as the fairytale aspect of their life is.
None of them wanted to be those grand stories people will talk about, but somehow they ended up to be.
But more about Ranva and Milan’s story.
Ranva is a fae, but no princess. She was merely the daughter of a high lord. She was, however, engaged to a prince. And that’s where the problems started.
Because as you can guess since it’s Cameron she didn’t like her fiancé at all. But for her family’s sake she agreed to get married to him.
Now some time after her engagement there was a huge feast at their court, hosted by the wild hunt (a group of fair and wild fae that are hunters). So of course Ranva was there.
But you know who was also there? Milan. You should know that Aiden’s father was considered a very talented archer. So talented in fact, that the wild hunt invited him to hunt with them for a day and join their feast.
There he met what he considered the most pretty girl he had ever seen. So he went to talk to her and luckily, she seemed to be just as interested in him as he in her.
They spent hours talking and dancing and trying to hide from Ranva’s family and fiancé. And they decided they wanted to see each other again.
That’s when something pretty similar to what Henry and Callan did started. Milan and Ranva secretly met regularly in either of their realms. And they fell in love.
Ranva was very conflicted. She wanted to run away with Milan and live a normal life more than anything, but she didn’t want to leave her family hanging.
She saw it as her duty to marry Cameron and so she did, even though it broke her heart. She still met up with Milan behind her husband’s back and it was the only thing that kept her from being miserable.
Then Ranva’s discovered that she was pregnant. She knew it was Cameron’s child. She went to see Milan, distraught, and told him about it. She expected him to leave her, but he didn’t. He said whatever she’d decide, he would have her back.
Now for Ranva it was clear that she did not want her child to be raised at court with Cameron as the father. So for her baby, and also a little bit for herself and her love, she made the decision to leave everything behind after all.
So one day she ran away with Milan to start anew, as a family. Milan married her as soon as they came to his realm and brought her home as his wife.
The two were really happy, despite some people of the village not approving of them. Milan cared for Ranva’s, he loved her more than anything. And he loved Henry, too, as if he were his own son.
And then they had Aiden and they were happy for a long while, until Ranva’s past caught up to her.

Hellooooo everybody! No, I haven’t disappeared 😅
It’s been a while since I posted anything, though. One thing after the other came up and I did not have the energy for anything, let alone posting in socials.
I HAVE been looking at all the love my works have gotten (specially the Princess Tutu ones ... you people have left me spechless) and I cannot put into words how grateful I am for all your support. Your likes, reblogs, tags and comments made my day even at the worst times
Speaking of works, I’ll talk about the next ones below the cut
Of course, it’s October, so my brain won’t let me skip THE challenge and therefore here I am again: it’s gonna be Pokemon this time
No list to follow this year, just somewhat of a plan/outline (or however you say esquema in english, I actually don’t know this one)
The first 20 days will be based on the Pokemon Legends Arceus poems. The rest will be Scarlet/Violet drawings, divided into the 3 main quests
And that’s about it! Hope you like these ones too 🙈 I’ll post the first one in a bit, if you miss it it will be in my blog for sure
