I thought this was funny, so I drew it

Staring @cactincactout oc Lauren!!

[airborneice]

so here’s my hilda ocs, mattie, harvey and arwen! aka the sketchbook kiddo and her little squad. they’re looking for a huldra

these chars have been lodged in my brain for a while so I’m rly excited to start doing stuff with them!! more about them under the cut

in the middle is Mattie, she’s Johanna & Kaisa’s daughter, and Hilda’s younger sister by about ~12 years. I figure she came along not too long after the events of Mountain King. she’s an aspiring witch who thinks the stuff her mamma and sister get up to is so cool and has a bit of a chip on her shoulder to prove she can follow in their lead. Mattie grew up surrounded by all kinds of magic and creatures, but also in a bit of a safety bubble, with two mums and an older sister to look out for her, so she has a very loose concept of consequences and tends to barrel into situations headfirst because "Hilda/mamma/[various other family members] did it and it turned out fine what's the big deal-”. at this point Johanna thinks she’s just destined to have kids that give her heart-attacks all the time

oh and Mattie is short for Matilda! she’s a trans girl and chose the name for herself when she was around 6/7 (kid’s an aspiring witch so three guesses where she got it from :) )

the boy is Harvey! he’s a fankid I made for the background couple I call the ‘black hound wlws’ bc.. them 🥺 he and Mattie met through school and joined sparrow scouts together, and have been friends for about as long as they can remember. they have a shared love of causing chaos and basically live to enable each-other’s shenanigans

and the other girl is called Arwen. Mattie befriended her more recently, after losing her familiar at a gathering and finding it with her (hopefully gonna elaborate on this at some point) and they hit it off from there. Arwen is autistic and non-speaking and talks via a mix of gestures and sign-language, depending on what will get the point across faster. she cares deeply about animals/spirits (or at least, most of them) but is also quite scared of them, which makes going on adventures with Mattie and Harvey..interesting. she’s also generally the holder of the group’s braincell lol

(she’s also an old oc of mine who I wanted to carry over and give some new life to, so if you follow me on insta you may recognise her already jkfdgf)

so yeah, hope you guys like them!! you’ll be seeing a lot more of them >:)

(also thanks @cactincactout and @nisse-room for letting me run some things by y’all before I posted!)

Hi I just saw your bio saying your dms are broken and wanted to check mine had gotten through JNSJFNXF, sorry if this is like. Spammy or anything 😅

Hey! I'm sorry I didn't see your dm. Nah its fine, your not coming off as spammy at all. Can I ask what the dm about?

[autumnalfallingleaves]

@cactincactout Come get your girl

please do not repost my art

Hilda requests are closed, thank you

[yaboirezzy]

Lauren: Dandelions symbolize everything I want to be in life

Johanna: Fluffy and dead with a gust of wind?

Lauren: Unapologetic. Hard to kill. Feral, filled with sunlight, bright, beautiful in a way that the conventional and controlling hate but cannot ever fully destroy. Stubborn. Happy. Bastardous. Friends with bees. Highly disapproving of lawns. Full of wishes that will be carried far after I die

Hilda: Edible

Lauren belongs to @cactincactout

[therubymute]

Lauren and Hope once more as the Lost and Found Duo!, get it? cause Lauren runaway and Hope got taken in by Johanna- yea you get it, right?... no? damn... *cough*  As usual if you want more epic Lauren content, check out @cactincactout​ their Coolio and the genius behind Lauren, while Hope content is here, sometimes when I remember to post... So you all enjoy them switching outfits? should I do a full piece with them swapped? maybe a spooky Lauren piece 

[art-ificial-sweeteners]

For this one I basically went “hey what would @cactincactout ‘s Lauren look like in the comic style?”

And then I never finished it.

[kiki-draws-things]

This was partly inspired by @the-hilda-librarians-wife and @cactincactout comments/tags on @autumnalfallingleaves post about Johanna being a cryptid mom and Kaisa thinking she’s a witch

1, 2, 5, 8, 15 for the ask game?

1 answered here, and 5 answered here!

2. Least favourite drawing this year

This fuckin thing. The nose is way too high up and it makes her look weird, I do NOT like this one at all lmao, especially in comparison to the matching one in johanna which is one of my favourites

Also this. Because look at it. God

8. Underrated drawing you did

Looking through my stuff I’m really happy with this one, but it didn’t get much notes, which I think is partially due to the formatting of its post? Idk, I’m not upset tho bc it���s one of those ones that I look at and get happy bc I drew that!! Hell yeah you go Sadie

15. Any upcoming planned drawings
