What does Antonin Mooncrest look like? Will there be any official art of him or Gwen and Arlene?

The Mooncrests are from the north of Iorden, which has a similar climate to North Africa in our world. For that reason I've always pictured him with darker skin than what we would think of as European, and definitely with an athletic build. He's got a lot of figurative weight on his shoulders and grew up in aristocratic circles where boys train in combat sports from more or less the time they can stand. We may get official art of him at some point - most of our art budget at this point goes towards the official chapter art that we give as a Patreon reward.

Speaking of which, there is actually official artwork of Gwen and Arlene on the Patron-exclusive official artwork for Book 2 Chapter 5. The description that art was based off of is given in that chapter during a conversation between Maeve Bailey and The Professor. Gwen is described as "tall and slender with copper skin and black hair," and Arlene as "pale and plump with red hair."

had the epiphany today that how that section of the tumblr fe14 fandom viewed the nabeteans is actually the elves in toafn right down to like the colonizing fascist control of society except in toafn the elves are perpetrators of genocide not victims of it. anyway they should have just listened to toafn and thirsted after antonin mooncrest instead of constructing so much circular reasoning to act like el was right actually

petition for antonin mooncrest to get a robin. 

(ideally, the number of children following him around would comically increase over time, but i will settle for one. i can, off the top of my head, think of like 14 kids that bruce wayne has had, so the fact that antonin doesn’t even have one is a travesty.)

14 Days of TOAFN

Day 3: Favorite Scene

Tough, when there are so many great ones. But, let's be real, it's the moment that Antonin Mooncrest throws his gauntlets at Ardel "Fuckface" Redmoore. That's a pound and a half of metal each.

Not even the narrator can suppress his glee.

Antonin Mooncrest: well it seems my beautiful new wife has left me for her handmaid and chosen to be poor and adopt a baby with her. instead of being an embittered nobleman I'm gonna fake my death and terrorize her abusive brother until his subjects revolt. yes, I am very sexy

[incorrectonceandfuturenerd]

Ardel: I can't go in there, I can't face them, I've lost their respect.

High Priest: My lord, you're exaggerating.

Ardel: They hate me! Some of them said so to my face, they were cheering Mooncrest on.

Head Priest: They're the common folk, they're dramatic!

Ardel: I'm used to being hated. That's my thing. But I can't function as a regent unless that hatred is kept in check by a thin, calculated veneer of invulnerability.

Head Priest: My lord, please, we have--

Ardel: And another thing.... I may have cried... when I was stabbed. They may have seen me cry.

Head Priest: My lord, everyone cries when they're stabbed! There's no shame in that!

[incorrectonceandfuturenerd]

Antonin Mooncrest: I came up with hundreds of plans in my life and only one of them got me killed

[lamentable-comedy]

Okay last one. @piesandbirbs wanted my Arden and TOaFN opinions so here goes.

Arden:

blorbo: Rosalind Ursula. Even if it wasn't for everything else about her, then for the line "Your worst case scenario is my actual, inevitable life"

scrunkly: Andy Wheyface? I think? Not a lot of the Arden characters strike me as particularly scrunkly

scrimblo bimblo: Olivia Breckenridge. I know people like her, but they don't like her enough, thus making her underappreciated

glup shitto: Malcolm Volio, but also shout out to the entirety of Brenda Bentley Measures Up, because I truly believe that I am the only person who both listens to Arden AND has read/seen Measure for Measure. I am the target audience for that episode.

poor little meow meow: Dana Hamill. She's just... so very Hamlet

horse plinko: Gabriel Hayes. In a VERY different way: Bea and Brenda, but just by having them bother each other

eeby deeby: Cail McPherson

The Once and Future Nerd:

blorbo: Nelson

scrunkly: Gwen and Arlene, individually and together

scrimblo bimblo: This one was a struggle because I know exactly how much the fandom appreciates each character and we're all more or less on the same page but... Antonin Mooncrest. I love Hamlet Batman

glup shitto: Mr. Fluffy-toes

poor little meow meow: Yllowyyn. He just has the the most meow meow energy out of anyone on the show, but it's also an accurate explanation of how I feel about him

horse plinko: Renault. I'd send him to superhell, but he'd just get out, and honestly having him around is pretty fucking funny as long as he's failing

eeby deeby: Ardel Redmoor and Ry'y lo-Th'yyt

New Episode Available - What’s Close To You, Pt. 2

Antonin Mooncrest, after taking over as rightful Regent of Guernatal, wins over his new subjects. Meanwhile, Ardel Redmoor, the recently-removed regent of the same…does the opposite. West of the mountains, First Snow and Steady River head towards the Federation to discuss the threat of the Elves. And finally, the Iordic (and Pennsylvanian) crew deal with the consequences of their recent endeavor.

Our next episode will be released on March 27, 2022! We hope to see you then!
