Python (-2017) - Efteling

[yourlocaleftelinghoe]

After i humanized Baron 1898 (whom i headcanon as a she/her/they woman), i thought it was time for Python to be humanized! :>

So here is Python! Her actual name is Petra Velden and shes half human, half python. Her tail is droopy because it's magical. She and Byron (Baron 1898) are besties!

I decided to give her a pixie cut and a tomboy femme outfit. Yes, shes black because i said so. Plus, shes a bisexual kenyan dutch woman.

I made this with the monster girl creator by @Waffalet♡ so credits to them!

Went to winter Efteling again today!

Ik ben nog nooit in de Efteling geweest (arme jij!)

Kunnen we ook nog een Hiep Hiep Hoera krijgen voor studiedagen? Wie wist dat een maandag in Juni zo lekker rustig zou kunnen zijn in de Efteling 🥳 (Is er iets ergers dan lange wachtrijen als je kinderen hebt? Ik denk t niet...)

So, this is my Efteling shrine:

Yes, I turned the cork board in my student accommodation room in Scotland into a shrine for a Dutch theme park, despite not being Dutch. No, I don’t know why I get weird looks either.

Those realm labels were drawn via Sharpies and grit. It took a lot longer than it should have. Here's a closer view of them:

I am far from an artist, but I did my best. Sharpies are unwieldy ok. I also put little references to each realm in them. If anyone out there is interested:

Fantasierijk: Het Huis van de Vijf Zintuigen as the ‘A’, twinkle torch from Symbolica and Pardoes lore in general.

Reizenrijk: red nose from Carnaval Festival, little bird for Vogel Rok, and the Pagode from… Pagode.

Anderrijk: squirrel for Fabula, bat for the new spooky area with Danse Macabre (as well as a little tribute to Spookslot (RIP)), and a Dios Gárgola statue for Piraña.

Marerijk: fairy for Droomvlucht, mushroom and vine for the Sprookjesbos.

Ruigrijk: little snake for Python, pirate ship for De Vliegende Hollander.

(There's also the little 'RIP' one for the closed attractions (that I have an attachment to, I'm aware there's loads more). It has a little tombstone on it. I never took a close picture of it, so...)

All with the corresponding realm colour, of course.

The lights around the outside are turtles. I say it’s a tribute to Pandadroom, but… honestly I just like turtles. It’s titled with ‘Koester je fantasie, de bron van alle magie’, or ‘Cherish your imagination, the source of all magic’ (...I think. My Dutch is very basic, I did my best), taken from Pardoes' line in Symbolica. Cause it’s basically my favourite quote of all time.

The photos are a mixture of ones I pulled from the internet and ones I took myself, hence the awkward face censors on a few. Don't particularly want to put myself and my family's faces on Tumblr, heh.

I figure hey, if I can’t share my little shrine to my favourite place on earth no one around me has heard of on my own Tumblr, where can I, eh? This isn’t even the first iteration; I had one last year, too.

This one actually had to come down a few weeks ago - I’m graduating. The real tragedy of leaving university is no longer having a cork board to build a shrine on. But hey, I'm meant to be moving to Leiden for my Masters next year, so then I'll get to live Efteling more than once a year. I'll take actual Efteling over a shrine any day.

As teased a few weeks (?!) ago, a few additions to my "coasterverse":

The Alton towers inspired "Secret Weapons Special Strike Force" is part of the larger "Watchtower Society", a multi national secret organization with many departments that don't necessarily know what most of the others are doing. For example, the existence of other super powerd (roller coaster inspired) team that even Hex as part of SW administration didn't know about. This is the efteling team.

Much like my secret weapons and defunct holiday park team, was founded by a Vekoma, an older cousin of the Corkscrews twins,who is still the leader of the team (Python). Much like my other two Vekoma OCs, she's a slender and very swift female but to represent the phytons re-track, her right arm is robotic.

Another one that mirrors the SWs team, Baron 1898, is Orson's "twin" (I will not stop being cryptic about Orson's origin) with a different set of powers (I am strongly considering that he can turn incorporeal and fly, much like the white women in the rides story). He's much more confident and controlled then Orson but doesn't know about their origin either.

I don't have a lot more on the efteling inspired team yet other then them being much more of a coherent team as opposed to the thrown together bunch of crazies that's the secret weapons 😅

To finish things off, some thoughts on the remaining efteling coasters:

Max & Moritz will definitely not be included in this. I liked the coasters but I know the story it's themed after just too well...

Joris/George and the Dragon might not be included for a similar reason. Considering that the coasters are two dragons, making the character a dragon trainer seems a little too OP for my taste.

Vogel Rok has me stumped on character ideas so far, maybe I'll come up with something at some point but it's not likely.

The flying Dutchman is one I'd love to include but I am still lacking character ideas.. Ghost pirate would be much to obvious but maybe I'll go for water or weather powers (inspired by the 2nd and 3rd dark ride scenes of the coaster)

Bonus: after how important Hex became as a handler and administrator of the secret weapons and how much I loved Villa Volta, I might try to include them in a similar capacity, I just might not take much from the rides story (it's really not for me)

Anyway, ramble is over. I'm open for questions and inspirations, be it for Alton, Efteling or my overarching themepark inspired super hero universe
