WLW Ships Poll Round 1 Part 1

Willow x Tara (L) Luz x Amity (R)

[badgirlcovention]

More of the femme werewolf x butch vampire AU. This AU has me in a vice grip rn. Pls ignore my poorly drawn animals, I'm still practicing on drawing animals.

This incorporates some of my headcanons concerning werewolves- after transforming back from their bipedal wolf form, they retain some of their hair, especially in areas like their elbows, chest/abdomen and legs. Luz loves it because Amity has ridiculously soft fur.

[sirottertonthe1st]

Would you be my friend based on all my fav characters? :3

[effypcfc]

*points to them*

"My gender..."

*sighs in gender envy*

off the top of my head. *shrugs*

Heh. Seems like I've always gravitated towards the goth/punk/alt type of girl characters growing up.

[magical-grrrl-draws]

A drawing I just remembered from 2021 I don't think I posted. Vampire Blight sisters.

Good lord my style has evolved since this.

Also I didn't intend to make Vampire Amelia so hot but like. I'm not sorry.

[yarart4ever]

She’s an adult now, she ain’t drinking fruit punch anymore… it’s apple blood now LMFAO

[oh-cramity-its-amity]

Chapter 4 is up now. A little bit earlier in the day but I hope you enjoy it. I got some stuff I'm working on in the meantime and Nano tomorrow.

BTW don't ask me about the ocs. I have no idea what they look like whatsoever. I just pulled them out of my ass. They'll tell me what they look like as we go.

[bat-in-the-machine]

I love how all of these are canon. Imagining this kind of rep happening when I was a kid, back when most cartoons had one token female character per team is blowing my mind.

Sapphics ships! For PrideMonth

Thanks to everyone who participated on ig to give me ships!

Chapter 16, 5/5

If you're wondering why mermaids who can literally swim over it built a fence around the castle. Maybe it was for aesthetic reasons, maybe it was for intimidation reasons. Or maybe, like the artist, they didn't think through the logistics of a fence underwater.

The following day, after the "vampire squid incident," Amity receives an anonymous letter. The letter goes as follows:

"Dear Amity Blight,

First off, I wanted to apologize for what happened yesterday. I had no idea about the plan your siblings had, and I swear I never meant to manipulate you.I'm also sorry for lying and embarrassing you in front of your family and friends. I was a coward when you needed me.

I think I also owe you an explanation. My name is Luz Noceda, I'm not a princess, and I'm certainly not of noble blood either. I'm not even orginally from the Boiling Bay. I came here by mistake. Left here to die by someone I thought I could trust.

I had to adjust to so much when I came here, it made me feel awkard and confused and vunriable...it was all so overwhelming. And I guess when I met you, and how you made me feel, it was even more overwhelming. So I tried to swim away from it. I realize now I should of been honest from my feelings from the start, instead of leaning you on.

I don't expect you to forgive me, and if you never want to see me again, I understand. But I do want to say one thing, I hope you find the fairy tale princess of your dreams, you deserve it.

-Luz Noceda"

As Amity reads over Luz's letter, her once-cold and angry heart begins to melt, and she starts to reflect on her own choices. She decides to do something crazy and tries to enter the palace to try to talk to Luz.

Obviously, given the last incident, the guards aren't eager to let Amity into the palace, and no amount of begging from Amity makes the guards concede. However, her luck changes when Princess Edalyn herself approaches the castle gate and asks what's going on. And just behind is...Luz, who looks beyond shocked to see Amity of all people here.

The guard, Steve, obviously, explains to the Princess that Amity was trying to enter the castle to talk to Luz. When Eda asks Luz if she knows her, Luz actually nods yes this time. So Eda tells Steve to let Amity in.

There is an awkward silence between the two girls, who are both very nervous to see each other. Amity makes the first step and tells Luz she got her letter. Amity then does something that Luz didn't expect at all... apologize.

Amity apologized for her behavior when she first met Luz. Growing up, Amity was taught that love was something to earn, not something people could have unconditionally. So when Luz rescued her and showed her an act of unconditional love, Amity threw herself into this fantasy of this perfect Princess who devotes herself to Amity and worships the ground she swims on. But when Luz turned out to be... well, a person, she was upset that Luz "ruined" her fantasy. But how could she be so selfish as to expect Luz to contort herself to Amity's fantasyland? How could she be so dismissive of flawed but kind Luz Noceda in favor of a princess who didn't exist?

Amity then reaches out her hand and asks Luz if maybe they could start over and get to know each other. She really wants to get to know the real Luz Noceda.

Luz then nervously writes and then asks Amity if they'd like to have lunch together. Amity, a little flustered, says, uhhh sure!

Cut to a few minutes later, the two lovebirds are sharing a book together. The two have decided to take it slow and get to know each other as people. The good and the bad.

NOTES:

Any character under the age of 14 will not have a listed sexuality. This is so Fox News doesn’t come after me.

The younger characters that aren’t in Hexside have the listed tracks they would/will be in if they were in Hexside.

Windigo and Talia are both adopted, by Eda and Raine and Skara and Viney respectively.

Alaistor and Burnice are twins

Cerulean is actually on the Bard track, but makes it look like she’s on Potions (for a reason that’s a spoiler)

Heather was absolutely named after Heather Chandler

Huntlow, Mashvee, Erbo, Gustholomule, and Skarvin (I don’t remember some of the names so I made them up) only have one kid.

Emira is a single Pringle.

There are other Lumity AUs with unlisted children.

Other than Valentina, all the Noceda-Blight children are vampires. Which is also a spoiler. I should stop spoiling things.

Legally, Cerulean’s middle name is Noceda and her last name is Blight. This is due to an error on her birth certificate that does not have her name hyphenated, and instead has Noceda listed as a second name. Luz and Amity tried to fix it, but realized they liked it better and just went with that.

Lumity has two more kids not mentioned. Their names are Desire and Everett. Desire is 4 and Everett is like. 3 months old.

SHIPS:

Crayola (Lenora x Cerulean. Heather came up with the name)

Venus (Valentina and Saturn. They dated briefly and then broke up. Heather also came up with this one, and thought it was hilarious)

At one point the main friend group jokingly shipped Odalia and Belos. Amity quickly put a stop to it but most of them still do to this day…

Cloudy Weather (Windigo and an oc/mock side character named Raye Venti. Surprisingly, Lenora and Heather came up with this one together)

Neptune (Cerulean and Saturn. Heather also came up with this one. She really needs to stop doing that)

I will draw everyone eventually…. I swear…

Edit: added more info & updated sum stuff cuz y not

Do keep in mind that there are a few icky and straight up evil actors in these movies who I do not support whatsoever, I’m legit only in most of these fandoms for the writing and characters.

Other than that, feel free to shoot in any requests, I’d love to hear from more people!!
