I think you said this in your later posts, with the dimi group fighting zombies and stuff for the BSAA. If you have anymore ideas with that, that would be sick ngl. Also you art is awesome as well as your nerdy analysis of RE8 it makes me interested in biology again :)
Much love from the UK! ❤️
Ahhh I'm happg to hear that! I love me some nerdy stuff too and glad to see the far too much time I spent researching for those hcs is appreciated ahaha
Also since I see some people are curious about the Dimi zombie killing squad, I mayyyy end up writing something like a compilation of vignettes and add a few focusing on that too. That is, when I have my hands less full with uni work, commissions and other fics.
But either way *cracks knuckles* here's some rando ideas on that are bouncing around my nerd brain:
They all get some more tactical outfits when working out in the field. It’s similar to their hunting gear and modified to hold their weapons of choice
Bela had to be bullied into wearing that bc "i CAN maim in a Victorian dress thank you very much"
They get anti-mold weapons but most times they're just put to the side in favor of the sickles or tearing enemies apart via swarm
Daniela especially has her very own signature move where she basically swarms down the enemy's throat and has them explode into bloody moldy chunks from the inside
Nicole is a shit fighter physically speaking, but an insecurity regarding that led to her discovering she has pretty god aim so sniper Nicole it is
She usually sits somewhere with a high vantage point to watch everyone's back
Annoyance and hatred towards the bsaa aside, the sisters are usually downright thrilled to go against something that can actually put up a decent fight
Cassandra even opts to go straigh up weaponless sometimes just for the fun of getting to use some hand to hand combat skills. "Nothing toke grabbing their ugly zombie heads and smashing them into the nearest concrete wall"
Bela and Laura are that one stereotypical couple in an action movie that fight back to back while trying to look all hot and smirking at the other after a particularly badass kill
They all keep count
The one with the least amount of killed molded by the end of the mission has to clean the dungeons when they get home
Nicole has won a surprising amout of times, but that's due to the (unfair as Dani would say) fact that she has much wider action range
In true bestie fashion, Nicole and Daniela are a hilariously chaotic team sometimes. Like that one time Nicole was cornered on a rooftop, radioed Dani, and deadpanned "hey I'm on x building and gonna jump. You better fucking catch me."
To Cassandra's utter annoyance
Anita is pretty rarely in the field but the bsaa did find some use for her, aka involuntary blood donor for creating toxin purposes (since the mutation gives her poisonous blood)
But when she IS in the field, she's usually with Nicole as both a backup sniper and to make sure no creepy crawlies sneak up on them
In a similar vein, Nicole is basically bsaa's glorified bloodhound since she can detect illnes, which includes the mold. She's even more cranky than normal when that happens because overdoing it makes her sick as fuck
Miranda is surprisingly protective over all of them that are called to do the bsaa's dirty work, but that more due to a "hey! Only I can torture my subjects how DARE you" mentality

I headcanon that your last drawing is the aftermath of an experiment gone wrong in the dungeons, and now all that left of Cassandra is one little very worried bug
Even the gremlin trio try to avoid certain death, or at the very least an agonizingly boring existence until their bodies heal from extensive damage.
HOWEVER Cassandra is the most macabre nerd you'll ever meet and the fact that she has a continuous supply of.. ahem subjects to try ideas on certainly fuels that. She's just happy to have found her nerd soulmate to drag into wacky experiments which usually end up something like:

Is Cassandra aggressive or cold?
Literally? She gets cold so easily gal hogs all the blankets that are outside her sisters' bedrooms during winter. Her bed is one step away from being a pillow fort.
Figuratively? Well the way I like to portray her she tries to be cold but keyword here is try. Just like Bela really but Bela happens to be able to pull it off because she's just naturally more cool-headed. Cassandra on the other hand has a short temper and precious little patience stored for only a few people and occasions. She snaps quite easily at her sisters especially if she's in a bad mood and also at Nicole on a handful of occasions (which went about as well as you'd imagine because Nicole actually is quite cold in her anger).
She found quite a few outlets to blow off steam throughout the years like hunting, torture, way too many hours of training with every weapon in the armory or even a good sparring. Hell one time she asked Nicole to use her as target practice because she got annoyed at being the slowest so "don't get a bullet through the head" would be motivation enough to be faster. Spoiler alert she did get a bullet to the guts.
Cassandra is an odd mix of "somewhat in tune with her feelings" and "nope feeling ew get that away from me".

Movie night at the castle are a trip whenever Cassandra or Nicole are in charge of picking a movie.
Because these two idiots decided to have a little competition of who can find the worst possible splatter movie in existence and gross each other out. Well Cassandra's favorite past time is torture and Nicole has seen more mangled corpses than she cares to count so needless to say it goes on for entirely too long. The rest of the family is caught in the cross fire. They may all be fucked up cannibals and killers but hey, maybe they'd like to watch something other than fake blood and guts on Saturday nights you know?
It all comes to a stop, and to Nicole's success, when she picks The human centipede and everyone decides they've had enough.

What does Cassandra do in her free time? And does she sometimes work too much and get exhausted?
Oh she absolutely does get exhausted sometimes because she thinks she's a big baddie mutant that can't be stopped by such things as back pain or pulled muscles (spoiler alert, she's wrong). Although in her defense, she doesn't do it necessarily on purpose, she just gets in the zone™ and she can't just stop y'know. Unlike Bela that overworks herself until she's perfected whatever things her bored mind decided to focus on.
And Cassandra occupies her free time with a lot of things. Most notably hunting when the weather allows, and she also drags her sisters along more often than not. Or some training with different weapons since they have a whole ass armory full of them. She's kinda salty that Bela is a better fencer than her but Cassandra does have impeccable aim with a bow and is really skilled with more short range blades like daggers. And well, punches. She throws a really mean punch lol.
But she has less physically demanding hobbies too, like studying anatomy and performing dissections (or vivisections if she's in the mood to hear screaming ig) which is something she and Nicole do together on a regular basis. They even have a little "autopsy playlist" that they put on for atmosphere and if you're imagining them joyfully singing along to "I can't decide" while some poor bastard is strapped to a table, you'd be completely right. What a last thing to see huh. Cassandra is also really good at drawing, like the rest of her family really, and ink is her weapon of choice here. She often takes photos of dissected bodies, including closeups of organs, anomalies, and different structures only to draw them later on and make annotated diagrams. Except she sometimes spends hours upon hours in the same position and has the back pain of the year and then Nicole has to deal with a very dramatic wife (a hot bath usually does the trick though).

aNgst- I'm curious about this, I've been listening to human sadness, (very deep song ngl, first 5 minutes) and it instantly reminded me of Cassandra. So my question is, do you think cassandra ever feels.. Very lost? Emotionally wise? Where she is stuck in a loop of confusion from her emotions and her heart aches? (Like she even sometimes turns into into mutated form) Or do you think she just brushes it off?
You ask for angst? You ask rufus for angst?? Jail for nonnie jail for one thousand years!!
Now let's torture my favorite bitch
I think all three sisters have their own insecurities and ways (better or worse) to deal with them.
Now, darling Cassandra is a bit tricky because frankly she's relatively in touch with her feelings. She can recognize "ok this situation is shit and makes me feel like shit" but the thing is she vehemently refuses to actually show that. She's arguably the most confident of her sisters and she often gets caught up in her self imposed role of "the strong one" so letting out her emotions makes her feel awkward and like a burden. This often leads up to bottling up her emotions and getting the frustration out by training, hunting and torturing only works so many times.
That's not to say her confidence is fake mind you. She really is sure of herself but that's exactly why the people around her truly do believe her when she says nothing is bothering her. I mean it's easy to believe, this is Cassandra after all. Strong, expert hunter, smart as hell Cassandra. And more often than not her family does lean on her, such as Nicole being a tad too confident in her wife's abilities to keep her out of danger or Bela not getting it that sometimes she really needs to stop nagging. It usually takes things to accumulate in order for her not being well to be noticeable.
And when she snaps it really is a mess. You haven't felt true terror until you've seen Cassandra curled up and sobbing, far beyond capable of holding everything in any longer. She really hates being seen like that and such events usually happen in a moment of privacy, but she does have to admit that Nicole made it a tad easier to accept comfort when hurting because she gets it (mostly due to having the same habit of bottling things but ten times worse).
But to get back to your question, she definitely has her moments of feeling at a loss emotionally. One such time was when she found out about her past and hpw she got to the Village, which over a few years spiraled into self doubt and a wish to have some sort of reconnection (a secret kept heavily guarded due to being afraid of coming across as unappreciative of her current family). After years of letting that wound fester she did bite the bullet in a moment of vulnerability and admitted to wanting to visit her hometown. Her moms were surprisingly supportive, even with Alcina making sure she knows that she's very loved and at the end of the day the castle is her home, and soon enough she and Nicole were on their way to Austria. It was quite the bittersweet experience though because while it brought some peace of mind, she genuinely could not remember any of what she was seeing beyond an odd sense of deja vu. The memories before the Cadou truly gone and so were any of the family members she would've known, with almost a century since the last time she had been there.
Thought it did cement the idea that her place was back in the Village so at least that got somewhat sorted out.

We need fLufF
How would the maidens react to their beloved bugs suddenly hugging them from behind and giving some smooches?
We indeed need fluff nonnie. We indeed do
Bela tends to be a lil' shit and very keen on distracting Laura when she's working in the gardens. Which sometimes backfires when she gets a muddy hand on her face but usually Laura can go about her tasks while Bela is trying to reenact a baby koala. I'm pretty sure Laura has at least a couple selfies with Bela, arms around her waist and looking almost like she's about to doze off on her shoulder, for blackmail purposes.
Cassandra is a little tricky because on most occasions that's exactly the sort of thing they do (she even starts doing this all the way back in their first fic) and Nicole adores it. She just melts back into Cassandra's arms. Well, most times. Cassandra also likes to bug her while working and start getting real touchy while Nicole is straight up elbows deep inside a corpse. Not exactly in the mood for making out while trying not to drop a liver y'know.
Dani does that all the time and Anita just made peace with the occasional sneak attack from her wife that's probably an oversized puppy that'll sell her soul for head scritches, bit make it murderous.

How would you headcannon the Dimitrescu daughters & their maidens if they were to have children of their own? Who do you think would/wouldn’t want kids & what do you think their parenting style would be like?
Well to get one thing out of the way first, none of them would ever want children and they would be varying degrees of terrible parents.
The sisters wouldn't hesitate to serve a child for dinner although adults are the standard part of the menu.
Laura loathes being around kids thanks to ending up in the Village's orphanage after a brief yet traumatic encounter with arson that killed her parents.
Nicole, given her past, is not particularly keen on seeing kids suffer though her reasoning is somewhat selfish one could say. It's less of a "I suffered and don't want you to go through the same" and more of a "I suffered and don't want to see this because it reminds me of my own pain so Cassandra pls make it quick". And her wifey is kind enough to oblige and postpone any torture for the next victim.
Anita is the only one somewhat decent at caring for children but even she wouldn't want to have any. She likes the family just the way it is too much.
And, you didn't ask, but Esteria would have a breakdown at the mere humorous mention of having a child. Nope. Not going through THAT bs again. Her three full grown chaotic gremlin daughters are more that perfect and enough thank you.
Plus, in my hc the Cadou renders those infected basically sterile since it has no need for that sorta reproduction so it would see it as a waste of energy and resources. Why have kids when you can "multiply" by coughing on someone that's so much more effective am I rite.

I bet one Halloween Nicole took the extra mile and shaved the side of her head, she knew it would look horrible the next morning but she still did it
That's actually such a funny mental image lmao
Though unfortunately Nicole would never. If Dani even as much as suggests that she'll get death threats from the family garden gnome. Nicole is just... really careful with her hair actually. To the point where she gets quite pissed if Cassandra even as much as tugs on it while ahem in the bedroom. Which Cassandra found out the hard way lol poor gremlin
