2020 Huevember

ASTRAEUS — MELANCHOLY

"Even if the Darkness and the Night seem frightening once their veil is lifted over the world, the small luminous stars make it a much less dark picture. But where mortals think they are good omens to guide their path, Astraeus see a brief moment of solitude, waiting for the light of morning to dawn so that he can finally see her. It is only a short moment during which he can hug his sweet Eos before disappearing and waiting for the next night, with this ephemeral and tender memory."

First of all, Keyne as Astraeus, it's just obvious: THE STARS. How could I not put a divinity to him that has a link with the stars? And then, even, it fits with Melody who takes the features of Eos: it is very difficult for them to start their love relationship but they cling to it all the same, making them even more endearing!

NYX — MOTHERHOOD

"There is nothing more reassuring than a warm cocoon in the arms of a mother: that is what the veil of the Night, that Nyx deposits night after night over the heads of mortals, represents : a soft caress to embrace them with a kindness that she shows with each one of her children. Under the attentive eye of the constellations, she watches with benevolence, protecting the newborn from a shower of stars."

Neoko is Nyx. That is all. The comparison will go no further: she has a link with darkness and shows an extraordinary maternal spirit with her relatives, a trait found in the primordial Goddess who does not hesitate to even shake Olympus to defend one of her children!

ARTEMIS — FIERY

"Running with the wind in your hair, walking on the hottest mountains, defying the elements ... To do all this, she doesn't need anyone. While her brother shines with his artistic achievements, Artemis asserts herself by her daring. What does she need? The huntress knows only one language: the one that whispers in her ear to go further and further and to answer to no one but herself !"

The choice to choose Artemis for Akito is relatively easy to understand: the Goddess huntress does not let herself be taken in and she knows how to manage! Akito, before having the possibility to live fully in the envelope that held him, always lived by the same principles: to be a prince in distress? Not for him! He plays with the dragons and terasses the bad guys!

THEMIS — TRUTH

"When the world seems to turn its back on any possible outcome in front of injustice, one hope remains, however, a small but present one: the Divine Judgment. Not the end of the world, but the judgment made by Themis herself: she proudly brandishes her sword, blind to lies, seeking only to restore the one and only truth in Olympus as in the lowly world of mortals."

I must confess that Haibara in Themis is a bit ... a contest of circumstance? Let's say that she is far from this whole idea of justice and truth, but one thing is sure: when she faces an injustice, she doesn't let it happen!

URANUS — SADNESS

"There is nothing worse than being forever separated from your loved one: that feeling of emptiness is even more immense when they are right there in front of your eyes. Every day that passes is a new ordeal for Uranus, who can never reach his significant other. All he can do is keep the clouds away to offer her the warmth of the Sun and the rain for any trace of the sadness that fills his being."

My little baby as Uranus was an obvious choice! This feeling of being up there, above the clouds, is something that Niwan has always dreamed of. Minus the tragedy of one separation, of course!

✿ My 2020 Huevember's next batch! My favorites are among these ones to be honest.

2021 Faebruary

GENTIAN — PAIN

"Fairies are not that good to deal with one emotion after another. Thus, anger can turn into a real mess and hurt can be made against one another. The greatest pain of a fairy is not to be forgotten, it is to be disrespected and harmed by one of its kind, afterall ..."

My poor Fubuki is the greatest illustration for the feeling of pain. With the scars he is always bearing, he cannot stand any bullying. Therefore, by being to afraid of being hurt, he ends up feeling hurt whenever he has to try to connect with someone else.

WYSTERIA — FRIENDSHIP

"Fairies cannot stand loneliness. They need action, they need laugh, they need to be entertained again and again. And thus they bond together and discover the real power of being friend with one another!"

Yuuto and Etoile are huge buddies. They love being with each other, fooling around with other people. I can only imagine them as being joyful fairies who love playing together and being a bit careless in the process!

PERIWINKLE — SADNESS

"It is so diffcult to handle every single piece of emotions. Sometimes, it is normal to let it all out. Fairies are not doing very good with strong emotions and sadness is one of them. Some may say that rain happens because of a fairy's sadness ..."

Adam is a good boy but he is not really so good when it comes to emotions. He is sort of depressed and does sometimes act like an idiot with his own life. And sometimes, he does cry. He cries a lot. And he never knows if he feels better or worse afterwards.

PEONY — SHAME

"Sometimes fairies can be very mean with one another, to the point where, some of them stay hidden behind the bushes and the flowers. Some of them are really too ashamed to take part with the others and ... stay on their own, without any help."

Keyne never had an easy life. He had some hormonal problems in his teenage years, which lead to bullying at school against him. He already suffered from it due to his scars around his eyes. At some point, he really was ashamed of himself. But with healing and time, he has started to accept himself for who he was.

PETUNIA — WRATH

"Dealing with anger is something that is far from behind a childplay. Fairies known only one way to get rid of that: destruction, crisis, screams ... But no one taught them how to know the real source of this anger."

Niwan is a character which is not good when it comes to deal with his anger. Family trait from his father, as some would say. He has so much wrath in himself that he never knows when it is going to explode. Thus, Niwan is the kind of guy who prefers to destroy thing rather than hitting people to let it go. He doesn't want to end up like his old man.

✿ I'm slowly keeping up my pace with my old drawings. Thus, let me introduce you our 2021 Faebruary we made with Zonbi! We mixed it with flower's language too!

Etoile Waterbridge (OC) is Zonbi's. Fubuki Leichenträger, Yuuto Iseut Shinkiseki, Adam von Friedholf, Keyne Reiji Shinkiseki & Niwan Haneki Shinkiseki (OCs) are mine. Art is mine.
