*breathes* Ok ok social media exists, time for my annual attempt at something resembling activity!
I have drawn shittons... too much to upload BUT what I can upload are my entries thus far for this nice oc-tober made by @bweirdart!
Fave OC: Kai
Good ol Acer tho I'm trying hard to train my brain to start using his reboot name Kai!
2. New OC: Phoebe
Phoebe is a passionate over-achiever who lives off fiction and posesses crazy amounts of trivia covering all of his favourite media works. As a Chosen One, she is driven by her will to learn, experience and interact with as many of her many favourite worlds and characters as possible. As a competitive person she strives to "100% complete" everything she does or learns, and as such is bound to be a very formidable hero.
3. Old OC: Judge
Once the first resident and founder of Garden, she has since come to regret everything that came out of it. Now, she seeks to wipe the slate clean and erase the mistake of her own making.
4. Re-design: Riku
In the olden days, Riku started out as a crackship child in a collaborative impro story, which I've remodeled into an original story with revamped characters.
Riku is one of the last remaining embodiments of two worlds come together, and is seeking a way to restore the connection between the two -- no matter the cost.
5. Relationships: The Garden Gang
This story has too many main characters with too many unknown dynamics, I tried to help myself figure that out with this one. Gods, don't spend too much time trying to decipher this one.
6. Symbol Skipped to do a bday art piece for @kaikkivoipasaatana! I know a lot of you fell headover heels for Astarion, but I'm sorry, her OC Zaiku and Astarion are the one true fated pair and you can never convince me otherwise
7. Personality: The Garden Gang
Same as with the relationships, these guys despertately require fleshing out!
8. Past: Phoebe Phoebe (Phantom☆) and Felix (Nate)
Lived out their childhoods joined at the hip, playing games and consuming media!
9. Future: Phantom☆ and Nate After losing contact for some years, they're back together and ready to end the world!
10. Palette week #1: In the woods
This one was just speeddoodle thing since I was very tired in the evening lol

survey #116
(taken february 19th; uploading surveys taken while gone... two more after this!)
Is your bed big enough for two people? Yeah.
Who protects you? My mom. Girt. Dad.
When was the last time you heard someone scream? Yesterday. It was my niece's bday party, and with her having two siblings who also had friends over, there were A LOT of kids in that house.
Who was the last person to call you baby? I think Girt, but it's also very possible that the nurse who works in the lab at my doctor's office called me that the other day when she had to draw my blood. She is THE sweetest woman; she normally calls her patients "ladybug" I've noticed, but I'm quite certain I've heard her say "baby," too.
Why did you last go to the airport? Mom and I drove out to pick up my sister and her family, I think.
Who was the last person to see you in your underwear? My mom.
Have you ever showered with another person? Only as a child. I would absolutely hate to do that as an adult.
Are you in a heterosexual relationship? Well we're cis female x cis male, but I myself am not hetero; I'm pan. But I suppose the relationship itself is hetero.
What are your feelings for your ex-boyfriend? I wish him well - the best, honestly - but don't want anything to do with him.
Do you have a favourite sports player? No, I don't care about sports.
Do you play many online games? Only WoW.
Has anyone ever made fun of the way you pronounced something? Yes, in the case of "breakfast." I have always naturally pronounced it as "breaktfast," and people definitely notice. I don't know why I always add a "t."
Have you ever forged a note for something at school? No.
Do you know anyone who's been adopted? Yes.
Where did you last bleed from? The crook of my elbow from getting blood drawn.
Have you ever had your fortune told? No, I don't believe in that bullshit and I am not funding con artists.
Tell me something really bitchy a relative has done. I'd say disowning and kicking your daughter out of your house because she got pregnant out of wedlock from being drugged and date raped is, you know, SLIGHTLY bitchy.
What does the shirt you are wearing look like? It's a dark gray with colorful letters that say "wild at heart" on the front. It's super soft. Mom got it for me for Christmas and I guess I'm using it as a nightshirt now, because I slept in it last night and found it REALLY comfortable. I've been wearing solely tank tops as tops to bed for many, many years now, so this is new.
What was the last thing that stressed you out or upset you? Thinking too much about my first-ever gyno appointment literally tomorrow.
Have you ever tried avocado toast? I absolutely hate avocados, so no.
Were you ever homeschooled? I was homebound at the very end of middle school. I was going to stay that way, but I decided shortly before high school would start that I wanted to go to public school.
How would you react if your artwork became famous? Cry, in the best way possible.
Would you get your nipples pierced? I've lightly considered it, but most likely not. I've thought of a compromise where I just try to see how I like one, but I don't *think* that's a body part that would look "right" with just one pierced, but what do I know.
How many people know your birthday? Idk. My immediate family (sometimes and sometimes not including my dad; he knows it's in early February but sometimes does blank on the actual date) and Girt do, I know.
What was the most disturbing thing you have ever heard your mother say? This was a VERY long time ago, like I was a young teen or maybe even pre-teen, but she screamed at my sobbing sister that she was a slut. I don't even know if Mom remembers doing this, but I sure as hell do because I could barely believe it came out of her mouth. Also, to defend my sister, she has never in ANY way been a "slut." I very regularly wonder if Ashley has ever forgiven her, because Mom has severely grieved this "rift" she feels between them for well over a decade. She's always sad about how cold she perceives Ash as being towards her.
Do you think your grandmother is/was beautiful? My maternal grandmother was a fucking witch, I don't care how she physically composed herself. I don't even remember how Dad's mom looked.
Do you ever name objects? (i.e. mp3 players, guitars, cars, etc.) No. Well, sometimes still stuffed animals, but not usually anymore.
Do you have a criminal record? No.
Last person you took a nap with? Girt.
Does seeing your mother cry automatically make you feel sad as well? YES. INTENSELY.
Do you think someone likes the same person you like? I mean, it's totally possible. He's a great guy. Although he does mostly stick to himself; besides work and coming to see me, he doesn't really go out places. I know he has a multitude of online/gaming buds, though.
Have you ever used Nair? Yes. It works to some extent, but it's not very practical for me; my leg hair is too long, thick, and dense for Nair to work well. It's gonna take me just as long as shaving normally, and I'm gonna apply layer after layer and just make a mess.
Has a stranger ever offered to buy you a drink? Ew, no.
What was the last thing that you said to one of your siblings? Just some form of goodbye yesterday, I'm sure.
What is the most expensive thing that you’ve purchased that you paid for: My snake. For right now, anyway. The tattoo I want, IF I go to the artist I initially planned, will be more expensive than her. However, I'm in the process of talking to another really good artist that is very popular 'round here because the price the original guy gave me just... seems very overpriced for what I'm getting, it really really does.
Do you eat fast food more than five times a week? Yikes, no.
Have you ever almost drowned? No.
Have you ever learned something shocking about someone through Facebook? Not in a NEGATIVE way, but I was definitely very surprised to learn an old high school friend of mine has donated eggs for the cash. It just surprised me.
What’s the scariest living animal that you’ve petted? A tarantula, at that time. They still sorta creeped me out, so I was a bit apprehensive, but I totally fell in love with her. She was one of the most popular beginner species for how docile they are, and even if she DID bite me, the effects would have been negligible. Don't *pet* tarantulas by the way, their urticating hairs will mess you up, and hers sure did for me! My skin was fuuuucked up, and rose hairs aren't even known to have super aggressive hairs.
What is the funniest or strangest thing you’ve ever heard somebody say in their sleep? Good question. You should ask that to people who sleep with ME, lmao.
Choose one: Butterfinger, Milky Way, Snickers: I hate Snickers, Butterfingers are only okay, but Milky Ways are DIVINE.
Who is your favorite person to hug? Girt!!
What are your plans for next weekend? I'm not doing anything that I know of right now, but I'd like to hopefully do this horse photoshoot that's been in the works, if the weather cooperates and their owner doesn't have work.
When was the last time you had chocolate? I had a cupcake at the party yesterday that was chocolate.
Have you ever gotten in trouble for using a phone in class? No, I honestly never did that.
Have you ever faked sick to get out of something? Oh for sure, especially when in school.
When was the last time you wore a skirt? Oh I have ZERO idea, I had to be a kid.
What colour is your bed sheet? White.
What was the last thing you cooked? I put some fries in the air fryer today.
Are your siblings allergic to anything? Nicole is allergic to latex, I know. Maybe there's other stuff.
Do you know anyone with a pet snake? I have a darling one myself, and I know Mazzy has them as well! I might have other friends that do, but I'm blanking right now.
Has your house ever had a pest infestation? "Infestation" is way too strong of a word, but at an old house, we sometimes had mice issues in the winter months.
Have you ever dated a bad boy? I guess you could call Juan that. That "dating" lasted less than a day, but we definitely had an obvious "thing" beyond that time frame.
Name one favorite thing to do with kids while babysitting. I hate babysitting, but I do like playing especially nostalgic video games with kiddos.
Name one girl’s name that starts with a "J" that you like. Justine. I really do love me some Italian and French girls' names...
Name one boy’s name that starts with a "J" that you like. Uhhh... Jaxson is one.
Have you ever feared that you would be killed? I sincerely feared I was going to in some way be assaulted the last time I was at the mental hospital and confronted the creepiest fucking patient I've EVER encountered during ANY hospital visit. He SHOULD NOT have been on the same wing as regular patients, and boy did the staff like to NOT heavily enforce this very-probable rapist not coming onto the fucking female side, which is SUPPOSED to stay locked and only have the genders join up for groups... This was the most predatory human being I've ever, EVER met and the mere thought of him makes my skin crawl.
Name one thing you liked as a kid. Dinosaurs.
Name something local that you like. We have a snowcone place around here that is SUPER popular because their products are fucking INCREDIBLE. They have an insane variety of combinations, and I promise you've never had a snowcone quite like theirs. It was probably Sara's favorite part about visiting here, lol. They're sadly closed during the colder months, so it's been a real while since I've eaten there.
List one thing you like to do at the lake. Take photographs.
Name five words you like. Serendipity, tranquility, serenity, wunderschön (you never said they had to be English, lol), and bliss.
List five things you need to do soon. I plan on feeding Venus tomorrow, I need to make those damn ads to sell my flute and guitar already, I'd like to finish up at least my photography resume real soon, I sure would love to resume working on the drawing of Sariya I started forever ago, and I need to get back to regularly working on my therapy workbook.
Have you ever been to a metal concert? Not yet; Alice Cooper is classic rock. I ABSOLUTELY want to go to plenty of metal concerts in my lifetime, though.
Do you like the taste of cilantro? I'm pretty sure I do?
What was the last thing to bum you out? I was VERY excited about this temporary food photography job I found on Indeed a few days back because it absolutely sounded doable for me, but it was snagged up quicker than I could finish up my resume...
Do you have a favorite planet? Saturn, closely followed by Jupiter.
What’s a medication that has really helped you? Latuda literally saved my motherfucking life.
Have you ever broken up with somebody? Yeah.
What was the biggest phase you went through when you were younger? Emo, I guess. You could probably argue that I still am, but I juuuust don't care. I have no idea how the label has evolved or anything.
Do you believe in demons? No. Restless/angry spirits, yes, but not demons.
Have you ever seen a spider consume another spider? On video I have, especially when I very regularly watched tarantula YouTubers and they filmed their breeding projects; the females eating the males is very, very common, even though good owners try to intervene if it's reasonable and safe, but that is absolutely not always possible. It's possible I've seen this happen to small spiders irl, but I don't know for sure.
What’s your favorite fruit? Strawberries. I really love kiwi, too, but have it much more rarely.
Have you ever been dehydrated? Oh absolutely. I used to drink basically no water, for a VERY long time.
What is your favorite kind of Cheeto? (spicy, regular, puffs, etc.) The hot crunchy kind are the best. I in general prefer the crunchy ones; the puffy ones get caught in your teeth SO badly. Man, now I want Cheetos, thanks, haha.
Do you have a skincare routine? Not really, but I pretty desperately should with how insanely dry my skin is like, everywhere...
Would you ever donate a kidney to a stranger if applicable? Realistically, I wouldn't. Primarily because what if a family member or close friend needed one? THEN I wouldn't even hesitate, honestly.
Do you have any unusual things wrong with your body? (I have different-length arms and hands for example.) Uhhhh let's see. I know one of my breasts is slightly larger than the other, but that is super common - I think even normal - for women. I also have reason to believe I may have a tilted uterus, but I have no verification of that. Uhhhh maybe there's something else, but idk and I don't feel like thinking forever on this.

Things I haven’t done n like, a year: Upload here. XD Time to fix that with one summery Sera! <3
I actually went out and got myself a new tablet and discovered apps to draw on - So that obviously meant snapping pictures of art in my sketchbook to tweak, clean up, and color digitally. I have a small handful set aside to give this treatment and another handful I’ve already done, but I’m proud enough of this one to be the first! <3
...Now if I could just remember to add in the scars on her shoulders consistently. XD

Karmiro Kiss
Tumblr media
https://www.deviantart.com/billiejean485/art/Karmiro-Kiss-800793669
(Text from DA:)
First of all, I'd like to state something: I don't usually upload art such as this often or at all, and I rarely even show it to anyone. Reason? Been bullied a hell of a lot for it in younger years, so I learned to keep things like these to myself. However, I am pretty sure the Karmiro fans would appreciate it, and I am having a really hard time finding artwork devoted to this ship myself (kudos to Iamaddictedtocoffee and KenKic4Ever - you guys are IMO the best I could find), and I honestly wanted to contribute.
Second thing I wanted to mention is that - although the show itself made me a huge Karmiro fan, this particular piece/sketch came as an inspiration from reading Arctimon's fics. My God - for the past 6 years I've been having a really hard time finding quality fanfics (I got older, and my standards became very high), and their in particular are among those rare that make me cling to it like an idiot, rereading it until I know it by heart (still in the process of achieving that btw XD). I haven't left a review yet, but, I can say here that that level of quality English, original ideas and great imagination is not something that you just stumble upon in the fan fiction world easily. I'm blown away. Still am. Still haven't read everything, so I won't drop that mentioned review yet. But, Arctimon, if you're reading this - you have my huge support, and I'm a really big fan.
Now on to the rant on the art aspect of this sketch.
I don't have much experience in drawing a kiss, and still learning to do that. What killed me even more here is just the position (that I probably didn't even figure out well) of the two - if you have that steamy kiss where both sides try to pull each other into it, and a couple with height differences between a girl and a boy such as Hiro and Karmi, everything gets complicated. The arm position is probably off (because yours truly was lazy enough not to reference anything). I hope at least I got their faces right - I haven't drawn either of the two enough for practice. Oh, and Karmi's hair was ridiculously difficult for me; it should be simple, but nope.
Ah, yes, and the Baymax sketch in the bg - the body probably should have been a bit bigger, but 'anatomy' wise I think it's okay. I just placed him in the wrong spot. And I have a feeling that it made perspective make no sense (he's speechless, btw XD).
Okay, and two last things.
I love the fact that Hiro is the shorter one in this relationship and is probably standing on his toes somewhat here, while Karmi has to bend down and/or pull him up. It's so relatable and heart-warming. :D I remember how all that went in those years of life (14~16). Wish we'll manage to see him grow, but who knows. Also, depends what Disney plans for the sequel of the movie, if they're even planning it (it got them an Oscar, so chances are high).
But one thing that saddens me in that is that - for most characters that appear in TV shows that are based on the movie there is like a rule that they don't appear in the movie's sequel. Which brings me to the second thing.
Even though I ship them with all my heart, I see little possibilities for these two to become something more than friends (there is more chance for that happening with Hiro and Megan, although the whole Karmutie stuff has led us on to believe otherwise up until she showed up). It seems as though Hiro and Karmi's relationship was made only to reach some "good friends" climax and that that's the whole point of it. Even Karmi's crush on hero-Hiro looks more like something that came as a product of her loneliness rather than actual need for a romantic interest in her life (I think she'd be a lot more invested in her relationship with 'Captain Cutie' if this wasn't the case). And when you take into account that this is a show aimed at kids... it all makes sense. Kids don't like romantic stuff, nor do they need it. But what do they need? Learning more about friendship, especially with that girl or boy they tend to fight a lot and don't get along well. It's a perfect reason to make you think that that there will never be anything more in this relationship. But it gets on our older fans' nerves because - naturally, the characters are not kids, they're teens. Things function differently here. I mean, okay - Karmi and Hiro may not be each other's type (debatable) in the end, but you can't tell me they don't care for each other at it's base, and that they will learn to get their rivalry out of the way to make a clear path for that. And when that happens, everything's possible.
But coming back to the first thing I brought up - the characters from the TV show rarely, if ever, make it to the sequel of the movie. Which means, whatever happens with these two, they will probably split up. It's saddening, and I wish things would change there. Hey, seeing Karmi in the sequel would make who knows how many of us happy. And not just her - bunch of other characters too. Or at least give them an honorable mention.
It's because TV shows get made for kids that nothing from it gets transferred to the sequel of the movie, which gets made for audiences of all ages. If there's something I wish would change, it's that - having TV shows dumbed down for kids. And with that I mean - seeing characters a lot older act like they're children. What the heck is that teaching the little kids? That reality will never be like they saw it on TV?
Kudos, and a really big KUDOS to the shows that are tackling this particular thing. It's good and it's healthy. If you wanna make something for kids, make it really appropriate for kids. Don't tug on the nerves of us older people, because - whatever the world says, there will always be those older ones that watch cartoons, ages ranging from older teens to who knows how old. We don't like watching those dumbed down things, no matter how profitable it is for you, content-makers, to target it only for kids, who will get you the most money. Yeah, it's harder to make such stuff, we know, but it's not impossible. At least show a little effort.
But, concerning that, I can't complain on BH6's TV show anymore. The second season was fantastic so far, and those 'dumbed-down' elements were reduced to the bare minimum. I just hope it stays that way.
... Well, this was a whole lot that came out of me just because of posting one silly fangirl drawing. XD Hope some of you actually managed to read this.... Too bad all of this is going to get dumped in the Scraps' section (please make a Sketch section, DA!), like most of my uploads do.
I live and breathe sketches. lol
Oh well - thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. XD I'm really done this time.

Final write up
My ideas and concepts behind my work are about dance because that inspires me and having danced since I was three in some ways it does define me. The title 'my place' gave me thoughts and feelings of somewhere that makes me happy and somewhere I can be me which I get through dance. My initial ideas were to focus on certain dance moves and then to elaborate certain areas with the textures and elements of how graceful you can be when you dance hence using the material to create 3d tutus.
Using the pointe shoes in my drawings and work was an idea I had after looking at the pictures of dancers. I'm very proud to be able to dance on pointe shows myself and I feel they add to a dancer, they add height, stature, elegance and continue the lines of a dancer all the way down to the floor.
From the Thursday drawing sessions I learnt to think outside the box, it was things that made us almost feel uncomfortable and unaware of the outcome. It taught me that it's okay to leave mistakes and that they can actually add to the art. It was a real learning curve to be pushed to do things I wouldn't normally do as it's made me look at certain art techniques differently. In my final pieces I have used the blind drawing technique to draw pointe shoes. I think using this technique I was more relaxed about the outcome it gave me a chance to explore the object in my mind as well as the actual physical piece.
My one piece of artwork that I think is most successful is the ink blind drawing of a face. For me it's the most impactful because it tested skills that I've never used before and it is quite dramatic. It reminds of the day of the dead festival that takes place in Mexico and I just really like the way it looks and the feeling it gives even though it's in black and white.
Tumblr media
The journey for me to my final board's was to put in as much as I could from what I've learnt. They both reflect what I love about dance, ballet in particular. The pointe shoes with the laces going up the legs reflect dedication and perseverance as you only get to this stage in ballet by working hard. Whilst the second board with the use of real dried flowers and material was there to represent how graceful dance is and how floaty and delicate the dresses are for some pieces of ballet.
I have learnt from this journey that it's very rewarding to put into art something that represents you as a person. It's made the artwork personal and reflective of how I feel as a dancer; graceful, beautiful, elegant, floaty, dreamy. But also it captures the last 14 years that I've danced for too get me their as the pointe shows that I've used are mine and the photo I've drawn, lino printed from our screen printed from is from me actually wearing the shoes.
I'm very pleased with the outcome because of this it feels like a personal journey I've taken as I've compiled each stage and it's allowed me the chance to represent something that defines me as a person into my artwork.
If I could display my work anywhere I would probably choose Her Majesty's theatre because I danced on this stage as part of my dance school under the Bobby Dazzler's production group. My little sister danced as part of the group as well and we performed a piece from Alice in Wonderland. If my work got displayed here it would help symbolise a personal achievement/ journey.
The 10 words I would use to describe my final outcome would be; elegant, beautiful, dainty, delicate, graceful, floaty, stature determination, dedication, and perseverance.

If I was to have a sound track behind my music it would be Just the Way You Are by the Piano Guys as it's the first piece of music that I danced on pointe to on the stage at the Haverhill Arts Centre. It was a real achievement for me and we put in hours of practice as a lot of the dance was on pointe.
I spent approximately 15/18 hours per week independently on my project, this included sourcing items to use including drying out real flowers, sourcing and cutting out from magazines, researching other artists, sketching, drawing and uploading. I mainly work from my bedroom on my desk or my bedroom floor.

Tumblr media
Aaaaand it seems I didn’t upload Voldemort’s birthday picture from last year either.
“So here we are again. Another new year, and another New Year’s Eve spent celebrating Voldemort’s birthday for me. It’s one of three times in the year (now instead of two, but we’re yet to see the fruit of that labor) where I FORCE myself to make absolutely SURE that I do a piece of art. When I started thinking about what I wanted to do for this year’s picture, I remembered the one major Harry Potter (Voldemort specific, actually) event that took place this year; Harry Potter ALBUS POTTER and the Cursed Child.
(Skip the Italics rant to get on to the art description)
While I have no idea if the general populous even accepts that entry as canon, particularly because of some literally IMPOSSIBLE things in it, and I myself found a great deal of anger and disappointment in the installment, there were a few shining points of wonder and glory, one of those being, imo, our new addition, Delphini Diggory RIDDLE. This is one of those things I’m referring to. There is NO WAY she could exist, at least as stated. No one was aware of her existence, despite the fact that she was apparently born in Draco Malfoy’s house and to his aunt Bellatrix. You’d think that’d have been a detail that would’ve been mentioned when Harry, Ron, and Hermione were captured and in the Malfoy Manor, or, you know, something Draco would’ve known about. So there is no way that’s a true thing. But one thing that definitely comes to mind is the fact that Delphi herself didn’t even know of her own heritage, and didn’t find out until Rudolphus Lestrange somehow managed to get the information to her. Personally I believe it was a final act of loyalty to Voldemort to make sure his child knew her background, and a final act of loyalty to his wife to make that child believe she was Bella’s. I have serious doubts that Voldemort would ever mix his genes with anyone so annoying or mentally unstable. I’d have to see some serious explanations and background of the build up or whatever before I’d buy that noise. But all the same, I love Delphi. I love her sooooooooo much. She, Albus, and Scorpius were the only good things about that toilet paper roll they called an official next installment. I love her for multiple reasons. First and foremost, she validates even the possibility of my own OC’s existence. Secondly, she’s almost an exact carbon copy of her. Delphi is certainly more unstable (which would be the only thing that would make me believe that she’s Bella’s), but that aside, their motivation and behavior are pretty much identical. Delphi’s speech towards the end of the book was almost word for word something that my Vivian had said in various RPs and fanfics. It’s hard not to love a character that I have both already gotten attached to through my own writings, and that puts egg on everyone’s face that ever made fun of me for my idea. Yeah, it’s still a pretty Mary-Sue-ish idea, but now it’s a CANONICAL Mary-Sue-ish idea. I’d like an apology from all those people that judged it so viciously, thank you very much. I’ll pass out numbers, and then you can all line up and I’ll call you to the desk.
ANYWAYS, my heart goes out to Delphi, almost as much as it does to Voldemort himself. She just wanted to know her father, who’s known no earthly love or affection that we’ve ever been privy to. She, too, has spent her life alone and neglected. She was raised in such a way that I know would absolutely enrage Voldemort. She never even went to Hogwarts! She was robbed of the experience he treasured above all others! Of social interaction! Of a standardized, varied education! It’s just the ongoing injustice of the Riddle family. And then they had to go and have her kill somebody and vilify her, too, when this could’ve been a chance for redemption after the massive negligence from virtually every character in the series. Seriously, I could argue a case for everyone, don’t get me started.
So basically now that I’ve got that off my chest, I’ll get back to the actual art. For a while, I considered doing a picture of just Voldemort and Delphi. I wanted to grant them both some respite from their cursed lives. Like, if in just one universe, somewhere out there (which is to say, my cathartic art), that they could be together, and on Voldemort’s birthday, I just thought that would be great. But why even stop there? If I’m talking about my own universe that I have created (now along with @blissomquisling as well), why not include my own OC, who just gained a sister? Or her mother for that matter? Well, the simple answer is that I could think of no reason why not. It seemed wholly appropriate for an updated family photo.
Without further ado:
Left: Delphi. I used the only picture of her that seems to exist for reference: https://goo.gl/images/6CTKAf I tried to make her seem very content at realizing her fondest ambition.
Top-Center: Vivian. Anyone who’s followed me closely for years will recognize my second oldest OC. She’s positively delighted for this influx of family that all love her father. It’d just been her and Nagini for so long. Obviously their ages don’t actually reflect well together. Delphi was apparently born some time in 1998, while (default) Vivian was born in 1980.
Center: I don’t think I really need to say who that is. He’s really having a hard time processing all of this positive attention. But HE was the one foolish enough to believe he could get away with sitting alone on a LOVEseat in a room full of people who LOVE him. Come on, tho, really … He kinda likes it.
Back: Nagaini, of course. You know, I never remember a very clear description of her, other than a massive snake. I wanted her to look real, but not plain, so … greyscale python? Yup. Sounds legit. She’s like the family dog. Everybody loves Nagini.
Right: Nova. This is the other that requires some explanation. As my friendship with @blissomquisling grew, so too did our interests together. Voldemort and the injustice he suffered has always been a great passion of mine, so eventually she started to participate as well. Her oldest OC, Vanessa, is a demi-goddess/the goddess/the embodiment of love itself. Back YEARS ago when FaceBook had that Sims Social game, I made Voldemort for my profile, and she made Vanessa. Through absolutely no bidding of ours, Voldemort was immediately attracted to her, which made perfect sense, as anyone who meets Vanessa falls in love with her as a side effect of being love incarnate. Over the years, it kind of just kept happening. We had them both in Sims 2, and they were drawn to each other. We had them both in Sims 3, and they were drawn to each other. We had them both in Tomodachi Life, and … they were drawn to each other. (They’re actually one of my happiest married couples now LOL). The explanation for this now is that Voldemort sought the power of love, as he claimed to Dumbledore in one of the memories in Halfblood Prince. He had stated that his search had been unsuccessful, and Dumbledore came back that he’d probably been looking in the wrong places. But in our canon, he had in fact located this goddess of love in his wide search of the world for rare magics and hidden powers. He couldn’t help but be attracted to her, but the clincher was that love, being like a force or even an actual, quantifiable thing like a gas or liquid, would be attracted to places where there is less (or none) of itself. That being said, she found this terrible blunder of human kindness, charity, and understanding (someone who had received virtually none of these) fascinating, as well as something that needed correcting. She told him that she would be born to a mortal body, and that they would meet again when she did and what signs to look for. She didn’t know when this would come to pass, however, and the high levels of emotion and endorphins and the like usually make encounters with her dreamlike. By the time Voldemort came to Dumbledore to request the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, he had come to believe that the encounter had not been real, and felt somehow more betrayed and abandoned than before. At least until sometime in the 1970’s when he met Nova on a trip to France.
While residing in the 70’s, she still won’t give up a lot of her 60’s trends, such as her gogo boots, and short bob. She was actually very young when she re-encountered the Dark Lord, but she was not intimidated by him, and immediately struck up friendly conversation. He found her so curious and charming that he kept visiting her. She loves him unconditionally, even if she doesn’t condone all of his actions.
Ugh. I wish I could go on about her forever. She is so delightfully quirky and bizarre. She is seriously one of the greatest characters I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. But I’m sure by now pretty much everyone has lost interest by now. This is getting into the realm of being more for my own records than anything.
FINALLY
The Loveseat: The horrible 60’s - 70’s pattern is based off of “that couch everyone had.” Yes. You’ve had it. I'VE had it. We’ve all had it. Nova has it. So Voldemort has it, poor bloke.“
