Septimus is wearing a brown coat lined with fur, dull blue trousers, and a bright blue scarf with gold stars on it. He has brown boots with a fur lining. Marwick is looking at the viewer with a defiant expression and septimus is looking at marwick with a soft smile. They are in the forest. The piece is fully rendered. /end ID

ID: 2 digital sketches of septimus heap and mandy marwick. In the first drawing they are teenagers and in the second they are adults.

1: Septimus and Marwick sat next to each other. Septimus has Marwick's keeper's journal open on his lap and is pointing at something in it. Marwick is watching him with a smile. Septimus is wearing his green apprentice tunic and cloak, and his silver belt and brown boots. Marwick is wearing a dark brown cloak with a silver pin, beige shirt and brown trousers and boots.

2: Septimus and Marwick hugging. They both have their eyes closed and are smiling. Marwick is taller than Septimus and is wearing a plain tunic. Septimus is wearing his ExtraOrdinary Wizard robes.

End ID

Commissions of sep and marwick from @vithcy who is INCREDIBLE and AMAZING and maybe a mind reader bc these r like. The greatest thing I've ever seen. Maybe a little silly to say they feel custom made for my tastes given I commissioned them but considering how vague I was in asking!!!! Literally that!!!!! Images specifically designed to make me scream and yell and eat rocks!!!

Simon Heap for almost the entirety of the books:

Am I talking about Sep ? Merrin ? Sometimes Jenna ? Marwick ? Yes.

He kinda said: fuck them kids.

I don't think he ever forgave Merrin for stealing Sleuth, his emotional support tennis ball. And to be fair, It's Merrin... So can't blame him for that one.

Ok I know you’re an Animorphs blog, but I’ve just seen some of your Septimus Heap takes, and I’d like you to know that I’ve immediately fallen in love with you. Worry not though, since it will most likely last for only a couple of days.

Thank you! I love Septimus Heap, because I love children's SF about trauma and war and post-colonialism. And because I'm a sucker for weird-ass found families, and the Heap family is about as weird and found as they come.

Some other Septimus Heap headcanons:

Marwick is trans. Look at that birth name, look at how fast Marwick sets it on fire and pees on the ashes like "what the fuck, I'd literally rather go back to being named 409," look at the kid who called himself "Wolf Boy" for years rather than bothering with a proper moniker. Marwick is trans. And back in the day Septimus was the only one who stuck up for him, and that is how Boy 409 ended up taking one look at Boy 412 and going "this is my useless nerd boy, and if anything happens to him I will kill everyone." Speaking of which...

Septimus would've died a dozen times over if not for Marwick. Poor 412 is ridiculously ill-suited to the Young Army. Sep's scared of heights, he hates the outdoors, he's too kind-hearted to kill bugs, he can't read a map, and he catches colds easily. Septimus is the paragon of nerdism: he likes reading books about Magyk, reading books about witchcraft, reading books about Physick, and that's about it. He'll occasionally do Magyk, but just to be sure he understands the readings correctly. I'm not saying Marwick literally carried Septimus out of danger on several occasions, but I am saying it's a miracle that Sep makes it all the way to age eleven and I'm pretty sure that said miracle is spelled four-oh-nine.

Jenna and Septimus both insist the other one is younger. They were born within hours of each other, and Jenna always wanted a younger sibling while Septimus definitely doesn't want to be the baby of the family. When talking to new people, Sep always introduces "my little sister, Jenna" and Jen always starts with "my baby brother, Septimus." For the record, Silas and Sarah compared notes and they're pretty sure that Jenna is older, but they're not going to tell their kids that.

Marwick named William (by accident). Between Lucy's fascination with witchcraft and Marwick being an actual witch after Aunt Zelda dies, I imagine she leans on their friendship to get scrying from Marwick all the time. Anyway, she definitely asked Marwick to scry her pregnancy, and then straight-up asked Marwick what name she was going to choose for the baby. And Marwick just stared at her in uncomfortable silence for several seconds, trying to figure out the people-words for "that's the stupidest circular-logic question I've ever heard." But then Lucy blurted out "is it William?" and Marwick immediately went "Yep." It got him out of the conversation, and that was that.

Simon regularly checks in on Merrin. To be clear, the visits are awkward as hell — the tea is terrible, the conversation is nearly nonexistent, and the fact that Merrin insists on Simon calling him "Septimus" is just downright confusing. But Simon also figures that someone has to do it, and him being at least 15% responsible for Merrin being in this position means that he should probably step up because DomDaniel certainly won't. Plus, I don't love Merrin's mother being given custody of the kid she chose to sacrifice for her own gain, so I like the idea of Simon as a sort of guard rail on the situation. Because torturing Simon with bad tea and worse conversation is no less than he deserves.

trans girl Mandy Marwick:

became a Keeper, a role which had always previously been held by women

both of her old / dead names literally had the word "boy" in them (Boy 409, Wolf Boy)

her new name, "Mandy", which she got later in life, is already one which is traditionally female

long hair

[vithcy]

I just thought of Black Marcia doing Mandy Marwick's hair and ooouugghh
