#sphinx!douxie

[thosetrollkids]

Cat MAN time, get OUT of here catboys!

Went kind of crazy with a new reference for sphinx!Douxie (as my partner loves to point out 'man, you love detailed animal markings')

+ An alt. outfit, I will admit, drew this directly after watching The Lost Boys so you can probably see that LMAO

[honeyxmonkey]

Things that might happen in a one-shot later because I can do what I fucking want and I'm also hilarious-

Sphinx: *[high-school level sat questions]*

Carter: *[visible confusion]*

Jim, hoping to the gods Carter paid attention in high-school geography: oh gods...

Carter: *[proceeds to give entirely correct answers but is still very visibly confused]*

Sphinx: please make sure to fill in the test with a number 2 pencil

Carter: these aren't riddles

Sphinx: I know. My demographic has changed.

Carter: I'm insulted. This insults my intelligence. What the fuck is this?

Sphinx:

Douxie: ohmygodbabynopleasedont-

___

Douxie after they escape the Sphinx: BABY WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU???

Carter: WHATS WRONG WITH ME??? DID YOU NOT SEE THAT BULLSHIT?

Douxie: MY LOVE, YOU CANT JUST START A FIGHT LIKE THAT BECAUSE THE GODDAMN QUESTIONS WERE TOO EASY

Carter: THEY FUCKING WEREN'T EVEN RIDDLES

I’m going to redraw this later

This is a VERY old drawing of Sphinx Vex

This AU is just about Vex adopting Pandora and the shenanigans that ensue

Pandora was sent to kill Vex because he kept eating livestock from the kingdom of Arcadia

She traps him and realises that his leg is wounded

She helps him and he thanks her before going into some nearby bushes

He follows her back to her quarters and starts living with her because she saved his life

Pandora goes to the king (Archie because I made this AU before Wizards came out) and asks if Vex could be pardoned

Archie agrees

Later on, Vex realises that Pandora’s father is a dick and he basically adopts her

He also tries to help Pandora work up the courage to ask out Nadia

Also, Archie is kind of a cat person (like, an actual cat person, not just a person who likes cats) and he adopted Douxie

The start of something new

commission info!

[thosetrollkids]

In the Monster Kids AU (though only showing up in the later half), Douxie is a sphinx, born long ago. He was only one of the mass of orphaned and stolen kits left alone to scrounge and fumble among humanity's edge. Before long, a dragon posed as a feline found him, and took him under his wing (quickly growing to see each other as a little family). Seeking tutelage for the little sphinx's growing 'blue thumb', the two are swept into an apprenticeship by a familiar name among the wizardry community: Merlin Ambrosius.

Along with the struggles of any magical teachings, Douxie learns to enhance the weak foundation of his glamour, passing for human under the watchful eye of the king. Though, Killahead's reap would swiftly send the sphinx and dragon on to traveling the world, awaiting the return of Douxie's mentor. Until one day, when they hear along the wizardry grape vine, of a town, suddenly full of monsters....

Sphinx!Archie and Douxie for the Monster Kids AU

(Archie heavily based off of @eurazba's Archie gijinka design)

Archie came from a line of sphinxes that are very proud of their heritage, and keep to the traditional roles of a sphinx (only interacting with humans if they met them on a quest/giving riddles and devouring them if they failed (Archie's father was so well known for that one it became his own title))

Archie is very proficient with sphinx-based magic, one of the few in his generation that still has a connection as strong as he does

Archie finds Douxie when he hears a rumor from a nearby village of a 'were-child'. He investigates, and finds a very young sphinx, alone and terrified. Douxie calms down considerably when he sees Archie is also a sphinx, and before any humans come and find them, Archie scoops him up and flies off back home to his flock.

He teaches Douxie some basic glamours to help blend in among humans for emergency reasons. If they got split up- gods forbid- Archie wants him to be able to hide a bit safer in human villages

They do get split up a few times, but usually find each other within the hour, with Archie's tracking skills. It's one of these times in Camelot that Merlin finds Douxie, and his innate talent for magic.

Archie, protective dad he is, almost tells off Merlin- what if he changed his mind the moment he saw their true selves? But Merlin is persistent, and Douxie is so interested and practically begs Archie.

After some consideration, he allows it, much to his chagrin, but sets a rule: wherever Hirsidoux goes, he goes. Merlin grumbles a bit at having to take both instead of just one, but obliges.

Douxie and Archie have been doing pretty well with keeping up their human glamours and hiding their sphinx heritage while in Camelot, until Douxie gets pretty sick (Archie explains to him that its just a normal part of a sphinx's development into adulthood) and forced to stay in bed until he's better. He can't keep up the glamour while he's so unwell, so Archie does his best to keep Merlin's nose out of finding out his apprentice is not human.

Merlin's a nosy old badger though, and distracts Archie long enough to go in and see Douxie (he won't admit it, but he's worried about the boy, and Archibald had been very adamant about no one but him going in). Merlin enters to see Douxie in his real form, and while he's very surprised, he reassures his apprentice that he won't turn him in to Arthur and his knights.

Merlin and Archie have a discussion when he gets back about it, and Archie tells the truth- about him being the son of Charlemange, finding and taking in Douxie, and the human glamours.

Merlin says that he won't turn them in- Arthur would likely assume Merlin was harboring them knowingly, and take his head as well.

Merlin makes a joke about 'i always assumed morgana would be the crazy cat lady, but i guess here we are' / 'hardy har har'

Long after Camelot, Douxie and Archie come to Arcadia, and with the recent boom in monster population (thanks in part to the new Trollhunter), they are both very confused, but very intrigued.

As a note, Archie is a panther/raven sphinx, while Douxie is a black tabby/crow sphinx.
