Random little post, here’s Basia!

(Basil’s grandma)

I’ve been developing her more and more as a character lately because I think she deserves it

Sidenote: yes Basil and Basia have the same surname, Basil was born with his fathers surname but when he was about five Basia had it changed because 1. She doesn’t like Basils dad and 2. She preferred her and Basil to have the same surname on their documents

With that out of the way! I’ve thoguht about drawing a young Basia for awhile now, I think when she was younger she had a similar sort of nerves to Basil, when she was a kid she had a stutter but shook it off as she got older

Before he left for the war Basia’s father took her hunting and showed her how to skin animals, he did the same for Basia’s sisters of which she had two, Basia often found herself a caretaker for her younger sister, while the oldest of them and their mother took care of the household work

The life Basia led as a young girl left her a jack of all trades kind of person, she knew a little bit about anything, but she knew a lot about nothing- she was the kind of kid that just slipped into a room without you noticing and listened to you talk, but by all means she stayed the more mild mannered type, Basia knew a lot but didn’t really love doing any of it except hunting with her father, but when he didn’t come home she mostly abandoned that and didn’t pick it up again until she had a daughter of her own, whom.. took little interest, eventually she got to share that love of hunting with Basil but by that point she’d gotten older and they didn’t get to do it as often as Basia would have wanted, she wished more then anything she’d get to watch that boy grow up and learn what she’d wanted to teach him but it didn’t end up happening

Alright okay. So this is the part where my AU becomes relevant, I’m gonna tag this post normally so if you don’t care about that I’ll put it under a cut

Hi mutuals, not sure if I should tag this as Marzenie? I probably will though for what I, about to explain

The real reason I wanted to have a desgin for Basia when she was Basils age is because this version of her… is a marzenie character, Basil when he was a kid found an old photo of her and now she sort of just appears in his dreams that way, she represents something Basil feels like he lost but never really had… more time with the only family he’s ever known, seeing her young, as she in a time Basil did not exist, is comforting to Basil- it distracts him for a moment of the reality where she isn’t the same… where the person who resided him is loosing herself and fading farther every day into the grip of death

I’ve discussed this before but Basil was named after her, the person he is relies on the influence she’s had in him, she’s more a mother to Basil then his real mother ever was, Young Basia is the only presence in Marzenie that has no malevolent undertones or secrets or hidden symbolism, she is a memory, she is a tomb of a person who is slowly ceasing to be, when the real Basia dies this will be her archive, Basils mind will be the only place that captures her accurately, as she was, both at the end of her life and much closer to its beginning

Another thing I’ve alluded to is that at some point Basil had a completely different place in his dreams, Marzenie as it is only formed after the incident like with what happened for Sunnys headspace I believe they both had a dreamscape before just much smaller ones that they didn’t interact with as often, it all ties into how I think about headspaces (cough cough, my Mr Outback analysis, cough cough), I think once upon a time Basil’s dreamscape was a simple flower field at dusk with only one other person, a familiar person much like himself for him to confide in where no one else would ever hear.

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.
