Day 31 - Lord Squak Airavis and Lady Chirp Featherfowl from A Court of Fey and Flowers. They're praising their dear Grandfather, who is not dead, but thriving!

That's a wrap on Dimension Twentober! I'll be making a downloadable PDF of these pieces, including tone-free copies for coloring, within the week. Happy Halloween! 🎃

Lords of the Wing Fashion Plates

Thank you to Aabria Iyengar @quiddie, Emily Axford, Lou Wilson for some of my favorite d10 characters: the cousins Chirp and Squak.

A Court of Fey and Flowers is one of my favorite @dimension20official seasons so I’ve been meaning to take my own stab at designing Regency inspired looks based on the brilliant character art of @faithschaffer

Also inspired by classic fashion plate engravings, the Victoria Crown Pigeon, and Secretary Bird of course.

Okay big rant about how much I love Chirp and Squak’s relationship incoming so beware.

There’s something so tender and sweet about the way Chirp and Squak interact with one another. Even though a lot of their dialogue is joking around or being mischievous, you can tell that the love they have for one another is so special. Especially in a world like ACOFAF where everything seems to have a double meaning and everyone is hiding secrets, the inherent trust between the cousins is so incredibly unique.

The way they just naturally turn to each other to ask for advice on what to write in a letter. The dedication to fulfilling the other's completely insane shenanigans (the chair cutting??? trying to not give Rue actual tea only to entirely fail??? illusions of themselves in the window reading???) without a question asked. The SCHEMING that is almost always in conjunction with the other. Even though the regency romances and uncovered secrets in ACOFAF is absolutely incredible, I just am wholly and utterly enamored by the unconditional support for one another that we've seen between the bird cousins.

And yes, Chirp and Squak did hide major aspects of their life from one another, but neither of them are mad at the other when they reveal their secrets. Like wouldn't you be mad if the person you trusted most in the world was secretly engaged or married??? But no, instead of anger, the cousins just accept each other's secrets and move on.

What especially gets me is Chirp hiding her secret from Squak to protect him from their own grandfather who is as much their family as the other is but still Chirp values Squak so much more than the grandfather that they fear so much. She will even hide her biggest secret that truly must've been near impossible to hide just to protect her confidant and best friend. And then when Chirp does blurt out her secret, Squak reassures her that no matter what Chirp does, he will love her unconditionally and stops her from panicking about the situation they're in by turning the conversation to say that he likes Esme's name and in turn, fully accepts her even if Grandfather and maybe the rest of the fey world will not. And that is something truly special.

Lastly and most importantly of all, Chirp knows Squak’s deepest secret that no one else knows - that he is Airry Pearry, famed author of “The Green Hunter”.

But seriously, I think it's so beautiful that Lou and Emily chose to play cousins that are just 100% behind each other's actions. It would be so easy to play cousins who are pitted against each other as competition especially with the wager going on in the background but instead they choose to play characters that really truly show how powerful it is to act together and find that person you trust inherently.

So yeah, TLDR; the bird cousins are some of the best characters I've ever seen and I love them and their relationship to the ends of the universe and back <3

The soft moment of Squawk catching that Chirp’s wife’s name is Esme and going

“is that her name? Esme?”

“Yes”

“I like it”

With that soft little smile 🥺
