according to book 1 juline canonically has a tv and watches human movies sometimes it’s how dex knows some english so it is entirely possible for sophie to hijack that tv and begin sharing the wonders of human films
was rereading exile recently and apparently it took me 38 rereads of this book to realize that the foster family has a movie night family tradition. popcorn, store bought cookies, curling up on the couch together, the whole shebang. pretty sure it was noted to be a weekly occurrence. this has persisted before and after sophie left the forbidden cities.
call me the grinch the way my heart grew three sizes when i realized that bro. my brain has been going nuts w/ ideas on how to incorporate that into fics lol
#kotlc#keeper of the lost cities#i had an idea for a scene in a fic where sophie is digging around juline’s collection of dvds/vhs tapes and finds the last unicorn and gets#everyone to watch it and stina of course is grumbly about it but by the end she’s a sobbing mess

i know fitz calls dex “deck” as a little dig in their first scene together but i think it would be funnier if fitz just couldn’t pronounce the x sound and was embarrassed about it and just let dex believe it was intentional
#kotlc#keeper of the lost cities#i had speech issues as a kid and i had a bonus cousin who would get grumpy that i couldn’t pronounce his name but like#i COULDNT pronounce his name like bro i get pulled out of class to work on this#the rs got better with age but i still can’t reliably pronounce an x at the end of a word#when they hash out their issues in neverseen dex is like ‘yeah and it turns out he just has a speech impediment i feel like an ass now 😔’#i’m trying to reread again if you can’t tell

Either Sophie or Keefe needs to dye their hair in canon cause I’m fine with sokeefe being endgame, there’s just something deeply disturbing to me with two blondes dating

the star: a card that represents hope, renewed strength, and faith; connecting with oneself and stepping away from fear and self-restriction. reversed, it can represent hopelessness, despair, and a loss of one’s inner spark
extra details + the design i used as reference under cut! cw for artistic nudity :)
i want to preface this by saying i’m sorry for giving her brown eyes… she had blue eyes at first but i really couldn’t do it. pls take my word for it she looks astronomically better now.
anyways! so this card is very much inspired by the rider-waite interpretation:

and for the most part, i tried to preserve the details and colours while also putting my own spin on it! the tree in the background in my rendition is actually the panakes tree (though the bird is just a random bird). linh’s pose is fairly different from the original, but that’s the main change i made — because the original pose is fairly awkward to draw lol. i also had the water coming from her hands rather than jugs because. yk. hydrokinetic.
at its core, this card is about hope and connecting with oneself, and i really felt like that rung true for linh’s journey — especially when her arc comes full-circle in nightfall. for so long, she’s been afraid of her power, restricting and limiting herself because of it, which also rings true for the reversed meaning of this card. in nightfall, linh is faced with a catastrophe, and she must come to terms with herself in order to address it (and in fact, the previous card to this one in the deck is the tower, which represents a major change or destruction — but then is immediately followed by hope).
linh is one of my all-time favourite keeper characters, and i feel like this card fits her so well, both in terms of its meanings and its water motifs. this is also the first fully coloured marker piece that i’ve done in ages and it was so much fun! i hope i did her justice :) also some closeups for u if you’ve scrolled this far




#THIS IS SO COOL#i love tarot cards and assigning characters tarot cards and this all looks so good AH#kotlc

i was going through docs on some of my old kotlc ocs to scavenge for parts to use on a new project, and tell me why in one character profile i specifically mentioned that a second character’s backstory was all figured out and was written in paragraph form rather than my normal bulletpoint brainstorming, but when i went to the second character’s page it was the most bare of them all and whatever ideas i did have were all in my head
#oc writing#kotlc#i had written the lore in the format of the registry in unlocked#so it was a bunch of basic info like ability education family and residence#and then went deeper with brainstorming for bullet points#but not for this character she had half of the basic info filled out and nothing else#somethings were interesting though like under ability i had written unnamed#couldnt tell you what that meant

In a sense, none of our animals have ever truly "escaped" because society itself is just another, larger cage.

Your children's show unfortunately has the absolute wrong take on tackling fascism. Yeah the power of friendship angle is showing a dismal lack of understanding of Marxist theory or even intro-level Leninism. Yeah my only two interests are children's media and online leftist discourse so this is gonna be a problem.
