I've had this sitting in my drafts for little over a year now 😭 But, I wanted to wait until I finished all of The Trix's kids' revamps, and I finally got around to it recently!

These two are Icy and Darko's kids, Nicholas and Juniper! It was an interesting challenge trying to translate Nick's hair into my current style, but I think I did pretty alright! For June, I wanted to explore her gothic fashion taste a little here, with her outfit being based on one I found before(but don't remember if I saved).

I hope you enjoy! Here are more notes for both of them!

================================================

- Nicholas "Nick": 17 years old, son and oldest child of Icy and Darko. Citizen of Whisperia, and Wizard of Blizzards. Tallish height, average yet toned build, straight silver hair that falls slightly past the ears and usually pushed back, dark blue eyes, pale skin, and a mole on left cheek. While The Trix all eventually split up and broke away from their former villainous ways, a part of Icy still wanted to keep her villainous reputation alive. After reconnecting with Darko and eventually settling down with him, she took interest in his family's mafia organization to join him in running it, finding a new villainous "calling" with it as she eventually took more of the reigns. As the oldest child, Nicholas was raised to follow in their footsteps, with him taking after his mother the most. Aside from her looks, he has inherited her cunningness and leadership abilities, and became inspired from her youth to create and lead the "Neo Trix". A cold and ruthless young man for the most part, who is also very intelligent and a smooth-talker, knowing his way with both words and people. Although he has big goals of leading an infamous villain group like his mother before him, he is not all that mean or particularly malicious, as he simply makes no time to acknowledge those he thinks can't serve him in some way.

- Juniper "June": 14 years old, daughter and youngest child of Icy and Darko. Citizen of Whisperia, and Fairy of Glaciers. Short height, slim and petite build, long and straight black hair, icy blue eyes, fair skin, mole on right cheek, dark makeup, and ears pierced. As the only daughter, Icy had great dreams for Juniper to become a powerful witch just like herself one day, so it came to her biggest shock and dismay when her recently discovered magic core revealed her to be a fairy. Believing her daughter to be nothing more than a disappointment, she has started subtly mentally abusing her outside of wanting nothing to do with her anymore. June tries to put on a brave face and act independent from her mother's control, but deep down she is very emotional and has developed a mild depression, her already bad insecurities becoming worse. On her own, she is a generally cold, distrusting, and stubborn girl, having a hard time admitting her true feelings or opening up to others. She is more of a 'lone wolf' type, as she would spend time alone then allow herself to get close to people who could hurt her. Although a part of her still deeply wishes she could have Icy's approval, she has started wanting to forge her own path in life, starting with training to attend a fairy academy like Alfea in the upcoming years.

A Christmas gift I did a few days ago for @pransesdp, of her Danny/Sam daughters, Lili and Morgan~ 💙💜 Felt like uploading this to Tumblr too! I really loved their new/current looks and wanted to try my hand at drawing them, especially since it's been 6-ish years since the last time I drew them!

I hope you like it! <3

I can't believe I had this sitting in my drafts since October and forgot to upload it^^; But here was a very old uquiz I made to see "Which Spawnling Member Are You?"! I made this several years ago and I completely forgot my uquiz account info not long after making this quiz, so sadly I can not log back in and make any edits. I thought I would still share it though, so I hope you enjoy and if you take the quiz, let me know what result you got!^^

FINALLY POSTING ON THIS BLOG AGAIN!!! 😭 I'm drawing Pride ships again for Pride Month this year, and this was one ship I had on my list last year that I never got around to drawing until this year. These two being Satoshi Jirou(son of Denki/Kyouka) and Kumo Sero(son of Hanta)~

If you followed me on DA/here around 2019-2020, you would probably know I was pretty big into My Hero Academia at the time, enough that I made some next-gens for the fandom(and this blog, though I rarely upload to it lol). I remember teasing a couple of times that Satoshi and Kumo were respectively both secretly dating/interested in one of their classmates, but I never revealed who they were. I forgot how I was planning to reveal that as I eventually fell out of the fandom(kind of around the time of losing a friend), but here is that reveal many years later!

I had a lot of ideas for these two and to be honest, they still hold a soft spot in my heart. I'm not sure if I will get around to working with them again(I keep meaning to for my MHA next-gens, but then I don't actually), but maybe I'll make something to show how they came together as a couple, if people are still interested in my next-gen?

But in any case, it was fun to finally draw/reveal these two together! I hope you enjoy ❤️

Summary: James wastes no time in telling everyone about what he saw at Platform 9 & 3/4. How does everybody react?

Pairing: Teddy Lupin/Victoire Weasley

Preview

They stood there in comfortable, passionate togetherness, when they were interrupted, much too soon, by a loud, horrified shout of:

"Oi! What do you think you're doing?"

James was standing there staring at his cousin and his god brother (as he insisted on calling Teddy), his hand over his mouth, his eyes wide open in horror.

Teddy broke away and gave James his best imitation of Ginny's THE LOOK, with his arms still around Victoire.

"James, I just came to see her off," he said patiently.

"Were you snogging her?" came the awed response. James's eyes looked as though they were going to pop out. Teddy resisted a conquering urge to laugh.

"Go away, James." Teddy looked at Victoire and shrugged as James gaped at them one more time and turned away, disappearing into the crowd.

"Guess you've traumatized yet another kid." Victoire said, nestling closer in Teddy's arms.

"I only hope he hasn't gone and told everyone on the platform yet," Teddy said fervently, resting his chin on top of her head.

Something I've been meaning to draw for some months, to officially introduce Vera in her full fairy form(minus the slit pupils, since I forgot those), since she is one~ 🧚‍♀️🧡✨️

I hope you enjoy! :3This has been something big I've been thinking about for her character for a while, so I had a lot of fun putting this all together! :D I imagine some things might change but her character with this big update, but she is still generally the same as before, just a fairy now! ^w^

(Unrelated to her being a fairy but I decided to give her bangs(plus make her hair a little wavier), since I think she looks super cute with them and I imagine she would get inspired to get them after seeing photos of her dad when he was a kid with bangs)

Here is more information about her origin as a fairy! Put under a 'readmore' in case it gets too lengthy lol

================================================

She was originally born in the magic realm, a realm that was locked away from regular human society where magical beings could live in peace. She was born during a time of war and personal distress for her fairy mother, who had lost her husband and a lot of her family. Not wanting her child to grow up in such a harsh and cruel world, she placed a spell on her daughter to make her appear human, swaddled her up warmly, and place her in a basket with a blanket, orange butterfly plush, and a note that contained only her birthday and a short message. This message was brief with no identifying details, only mentioning how the baby was born a few days ago in a cruel world, the mother felt unfit to care for her and brought her here, and for whoever finds her, to take care of her last hope. She then traveled through the barrier to the human world, to the city of Poltervale, the first city she found that had such a strong magical and supernatural aura. It was a rainy day so not many were out-and-about, but she found a dry, covered spot in an alley to set her daughter in, and placed one more spell that would make her noticed by humans who could be walking by. Thankfully, a young couple were out on a walk when they heard her crying, and after investigating they discovered her. Once the fairy could determine that the couple would take care of her child, she returned to the magic realm to help put an end to the war. After a long period of a medical checkup, talking with legal officials, trying to figure out her origin and birth family, and the long adoption process, the couple welcomed her into their life as their first child, becoming parents earlier than planned but neither had it in them to leave her alone in the world again. They named her Vera, with the middle name of Hope, inspired by the note that she was found with. Vera lived most of her life believing she was a regular human, but always felt something was "off" with her. She always had such a strong connection with any winged creatures, a few uncanny abilities she could not explain, a big interest in fairies, and had quite a few times where others like her Auntie Suzie has sensed the magical energy radiating from her. It is not until her late teens that a big accident by her hands revealed her status as a fairy and wore off the glamour spell that was placed on her so long ago. She, along with everyone around her at the time was confused, even her parents as they never did find out about her origins. After a long period of searching for answers, making sense of everything that happened, and exploring her newfound form and abilities, she came to terms and was excited to be a real fairy. Still, her curiosity about her origins was never quite quenched and she still yearned for the chance to visit the magic realm someday, but until a moment like that comes, she is content using her fairy abilities for fun, help, and sometimes, a little mischief~

✒ Ernest, (AU) son of Tecna and Helia, Fairy of Typography ✒

================================================

Next up for the AU kids' fashion boards, we have the one for Ernest! I feel like his was one of the more difficult ones, mainly in the sense his style is not super elaborate like some of the others'. I still had fun making it though, and I hope you enjoy!

More details about his looks can be found under the 'readmore'!

================================================

. For Ernest, he has short, dark magenta hair, worn in a fluffy and eboy-esque style with the middle part. Doesn't really wear makeup, but will sometimes wear light eyeliner when his friends encourage him and he usually has his nails painted, black most of the time but sometimes wears colors. For a physical detail I wanted to highlight, it would be that he has his ears pierced.

. For his color scheme, he doesn't really have a set one he prefers, usually going for whatever looks best to him. That being said, a lot of his clothes do tend to lean into the dark shades or neutrals, and while he is fine wearing most colors, his favorite is a dark magenta. His style is pretty simple, nothing too adventurous but he likes layering and more comfy and cozy vibes. A lot of hooded sweatshirts, sweaters, t-shirts, jeans, and sneakers or slip-ons, most commonly converse-style shoes. He does have some dressier and more business-like clothes, such as collared shirts which he also likes wearing underneath his sweaters. The sunflower sweater in the board is mainly just to show the kind of layered looks he goes for, but I can also see it being either a gift or borrowed from Fawn, with how close those two are.

. For accessories, he doesn't own many, but he does have a few he wears here-and-there. These mainly include belts, either plain or in more 'flashy' styles, simple necklaces, and simple bracelets. His earrings are usually either plain studs, or small hoops. Although he wears contacts, he does have a need for glasses and his are usually either black or dark red, pink, and purple colors. He does have some accessories made for him by Fawn, which he proudly wears. The main accessory I chose to give him here are some plain black, beaded bracelets, as I felt they would suit him.

Battling next-gen financial fraud 

From a cluster of call centers in Canada, a criminal network defrauded elderly victims in the US out of $21 million in total between 2021 and 2024. The fraudsters used voice over internet protocol technology to dupe victims into believing the calls came from their grandchildren in the US, customizing conversations using banks of personal data, including ages, addresses, and the estimated incomes…

While I don't have the time right now to work on my redesigns/revamps of everyone, I thought I might make moodboards in the meantime! Since they take less time and are simple to do, and they can also be a chance for me to test out new ideas before I can get to the redesigns. First up, we have the eldest daughter of Dirk and Jake, and one of my three main/original next-gen characters!

People are always like "why do they let Data play poker with them, his brain is a computer, he has an unfair advantage," and the answer is simply because it's for fun!! He's their friend! Like can you imagine if they told Data he can't play, he'd be like "I understand, that's a logical decision, and as an android I am unable to feel left out," but then any time the poker game came up he'd be looking at Riker across the bridge like

🧚‍♀️🧡✨️ Vera Hope Stewart-Small, Fairy Form ✨️🧡🧚‍♀️

Since I just posted the drawing officially introducing Vera as a fairy, I wanted to share the moodboard I made for her fairy form a few days ago! If you remember the concept sketch I shared several months ago(shown in this post), you may have noticed I made some changes to her outfit and wings, but I feel this form suits her better now. I know her colors may make her look like a fall/autumn-themed fairy, but I imagine her powers would be different than that(I don't know what they are yet, but I'm leaning towards love magic).

But yeah! She has a short, flowy orange high-collar/halter dress, opera-length sheer white sleeves, gold, strappy platform-wedges, gold butterfly hoop earrings, a gold triangle necklace(not specific to her fairy form, as she had it long before discovering she was one), and orange-gradient wings~
