Have you Been Naughty or Nice?
Swiped from @lil-kissy​
Tumblr media
“Serafina, you’re new here. You should go first!”
Tumblr media
“Okay. Who’s next?”
Tumblr media
“Estrella said we’re going to be going from newest muse to oldest this year.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, that’d be me!”
Tumblr media
There's a reason Santa created a Naughty List. And you're just one of those reasons, Serafina.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Seriously?!”
Tumblr media
“This thing isn’t always right. It put Ghost on the naughty list for slacking off at work last year... And it doesn’t have a job.”
Tumblr media
Annabelle, you must have been EXTRA nice this year. Santa has a smiley face next to your name on the Nice List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Hooray! I want a doll.”
Tumblr media
Way to help that old lady, Valeriya. Santa will certainly add you to the Nice List this year. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I must say, Ekaterina. You've really improved last year's performance and made the cut on the Nice List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Yay!”
Tumblr media
Wow Dmitri, rescuing those Orphans from that burning building got you a free ride on Santa's Nice List for years to  come!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“That’s nice... But I haven’t saved anyone from a burning building.”
Tumblr media
“See what I mean by this not always being right?”
Tumblr media
Little ghost, you must have been EXTRA nice this year. Santa has a smiley face next to your name on the Nice List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aleksei, you REALLY put ex-lax in Santa's cookies?! Don't expect to see your name on the Nice List anytime soon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“No I didn’t!”
Tumblr media
“Press the button again.”
Tumblr media
Ho ho ho! Nice try, Aleksei. Thought you could slip one past the Big Guy, huh? Naughty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I didn’t, really!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aleksei, do you really think Santa is unaware of your inappropriate Facebook posts? Naughty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“WHAT THE HELL IS ‘FACEBOOK’?”
Tumblr media
*Snickering*
Tumblr media
“It’s just a game, Aleksei. Don’t worry about it.”
Tumblr media
“And don’t laugh at him, Ekaterina.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“My turn!”
Tumblr media
Dyanna, shouldn’t you be working, instead of surfing the web during office hours…?
NAUGHTY LIST FOR YOU!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I’m only eleven, I don’t have a job!”
Tumblr media
Hmmmm... you've got a couple weeks left to redeem yourself, Elias.  Right now, you are on the Naughty List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Alrighty... Will do.”
Tumblr media
... 👀
Tumblr media
“Can I try?”
Tumblr media
“Have at it, little guy.”
Tumblr media
In the words of Larry David, you've been "pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good" this year.

“What are you guys doing? Have you seen Annabelle and the ghost?”
Tumblr media
“We’re collecting flowers for our Mamas!”
Tumblr media
“Annie took Ghost to the park.”
Tumblr media
“Which one?”
Tumblr media
“Probably the one with the geese.”
Tumblr media
“Alright.”
Tumblr media
“Wait, come back!”
Tumblr media
?
Tumblr media
“Come pick flowers with us!”
Tumblr media
“But I don’t have parents...”
Tumblr media
“What about Meilan?”
Tumblr media
“I wish she was my Mama.”
Tumblr media
“Anfisa isn’t my birth mother either, but here I am.”
Tumblr media
“Besides, wouldn’t she be happy to know you think of her as your mother?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“You’re right. She’d be thrilled!”

Gold, Silver, Pearl or Jade?
Tumblr media
Gold
Oh, but you must have known. Aren’t you sick of trying to be the golden one? You are hardworking. You have taken on the expectations of success that others impose on you, and now you expect those same things from yourself. You balance it all, and somehow keep moving...

“What was that?!”
Tumblr media
“Is it  Xiuying and Ignatius?”
Tumblr media
“We’re right here...”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Oh!”
Tumblr media
“False alarm, everybody. It’s just Elias.”
Tumblr media
“Then what were those noises?”
Tumblr media
“I brought firecrackers for everybody!”
Tumblr media
“What are firecrackers?”
Tumblr media
“They’re little capsules that you either throw on the ground or set on fire, and it’ll make a colorful explosion. The noise came from me dropping a box.”
Tumblr media
“Is it for the new year?”
Tumblr media
“Yep!”
Tumblr media
“But didn’t we already set off fireworks almost a month ago?”
Tumblr media
“It’s tiger new year again!”
Tumblr media
*snickering* “Lunar new year. And it’s the year of the cat this time.”
Tumblr media
“Close enough...”
Tumblr media
“Cat? There’s no cat on the zodiac. It’s the year of the rabbit.”
Tumblr media
“Rabbit?”
Tumblr media
“The cat would have raced, but the rat didn’t wake him up the morning of.”
Tumblr media
...??
Tumblr media
“Xiuying, you’re Gudanese. And Elias, your mother was from Xuyen. Maybe you have different versions of the legend!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“That makes sense.”
Tumblr media
“There’s a legend?”
Tumblr media
“Yea...”
Tumblr media
“Annabelle and Serafina weren’t here last year.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, right!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Thanks.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“‘Back when tigers used to smoke, there was race between the animals. The Jade Emperor, who was the ruler of the heavens, asked all the animals to participate in his birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month and held a great race. The first twelve animals that came would be given a place in the calendar.’”
“‘Although the rat got up early and ran fast, he became worried when he arrived at the river bank as he was a poor swimmer. After waiting for the come of the ox, he asked the help from the ox to carry him across the river. With the help of the honest and helpful ox, the rat successfully crossed the river. However, he didn’t jump off from the ox’s back until they arrived at the door of the Jade Emperor.’
“‘Just as the ox was about to win the race, the rat leapt to the Jade Emperor before the ox. Thus, the rat won the first place in the race and the second the ox. Later came the Tiger, Cat, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, and Dog. The lazy pig arrived last and got the last place.’”
Tumblr media
“Now come and get your firecrackers, everyone! We’ll set them off tonight!”

“Can we come out now?”
Tumblr media
Yea, come on, you two! :D Come introduce yourselves to the rest of the gang!
Tumblr media
“Alrighty!”
Tumblr media
“My name is Xiuying, I’m twelve years old, and I was born in the year of the monkey.”
Tumblr media
“I’m Ignatius. I’m ten, and...”
Tumblr media
“What year was I born in?”
Tumblr media
“The dog.”
Tumblr media
“Woof woof!” *giggling*
Tumblr media
“Where are you two from? I’ve never seen anyone dressed like that before.”
Tumblr media
“And what’s your gimmick?”
Tumblr media
“Our what?”
Tumblr media
“We all have something special: Aleksei is from a fandom; Annabelle, Dyanna, Katia, Dmitri, Elias, and Serafina are main characters from Estrella’s stories; I kept my story’s main characters from getting themselves killed; and Ghost is... Well, a ghost.”
Tumblr media
“Do you have magic?”
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
“I was a spellcaster...”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Ghost wants you to show it some spells.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, and can you show me how to cast one?”
Tumblr media
“You were a spellcaster? What are you now?”
Tumblr media
“Are you kinetics now?”
Tumblr media
...!
Tumblr media
They’re Fragokinetics! Xiuying’s always had her powers and Ignatius just got his.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“They can blow things up.”
Tumblr media
:)?
Tumblr media
“You can befriend them if you want, they can’t hurt you.”
Tumblr media
“Should we... Go?”
Tumblr media
“No, please stay.”
Tumblr media
“Really?”
Tumblr media
“... So you’re not scared...?”
Tumblr media
“If you keep your powers as under wraps as I do, then I don’t see a reason to be. I’m a Cariesgenetic. Until Katia and Dima showed me how they buried offal in their garden to fertilize it, I had no idea that rot could be anything but disgusting, like my father always told me. I know what it’s like to be afraid of my own powers.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“That does make me feel a little better...”
Tumblr media
“I can ask my friend if she knows a spell to counteract your powers. Would you like that?”
Tumblr media
“YES!”
Tumblr media
“I have a good luck charm, if it would make you feel better to have.”
Tumblr media
“There are things called amplifiers where I’m from that makes powers stronger. I’ll ask my parents if there are reverse-amplifiers.”
Tumblr media
“Those would be very nice, thank you.”
Tumblr media
“And where are you two from?”
Tumblr media
“I’m from Yuan Gudai.”
Tumblr media
“And I’m from Ephesus.”
Tumblr media
“Oooh, tell me all about them!”

On the topic of shadows, I’m currently writing a fight scene between Elias and Valeriya, to 1) practice writing action, 2) get a sense of how they’d wield their magic in a fight (Especially Valeriya), and 3) let plot bunnies spring up for new mechanics said magic.

How Evil are You?
Tumblr media
Aleksei Oretsev is so evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“For what? Stealing that book?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Is that where it went? You jerk, I failed a test without it!”
Tumblr media
“I didn’t know it was yours...”
Tumblr media
“My mom grounded me for a week!”
Tumblr media
*sigh* “Why do boys have to be like this?”
Tumblr media
“At least they’re not as bad as Salazar...”
And then Elias threw the first punch
Tumblr media
“... I take that back.”
Tumblr media
Annabelle Elsworth is just a smidge evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Well, it could have been worse.” She nervously eyed Aleksei and Elias as Grisha and Valeriya dragged them apart.
Tumblr media
Dyanna Veselovskaya is not evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Yay!”
Tumblr media
Dmitri Sobakin is so evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

(sins of the sea) Little boxes bearing dried mangoes, coconuts, tamarind, and puka bracelets for everyone! "Luna" in particular gets a little gold-chained bracelet with a small carved moon for a pendant! And though Dimitri won't know who is sending this or why, he'd get a specific gift too: a nazar. Hm…..
Tumblr media
"These bracelets are beautiful!"
Tumblr media
“Do you want mine?”
Tumblr media
"YES!"
Tumblr media
*jingle jingle jingle*
Tumblr media
“Look, Ghost got a different bracelet.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Who’s ‘Luna’.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Do you think it’s from your friend?”
Tumblr media
✨💞
Tumblr media
"Oh, Dima got something special too!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Yea!”
Tumblr media
“It’s an eye!”
Tumblr media
“Who’s it from?”
Tumblr media
“I've no idea.”
Tumblr media
“What are these... Bendy dry things?”
Tumblr media
“Mango and coconut. They grow everywhere in Permico.”
Tumblr media
“I like them!”
Tumblr media
“The hard brown ones are tamarind, you have to break the shell and pull off the strings to eat it. My mom gets a pile every time we go to Xuyentown.”
Tumblr media
...
“Oh.” *crack*

“Uh... Thank you.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“What’re these for?”
Tumblr media
“It’s for Christmas!”
Tumblr media
“What’s Christmas?”
Tumblr media
“It’s a holiday from where Ghost is from."
Tumblr media
“It told us it’s for a man named Jesus who was the son of God. It’s his birthday.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Alright.”

“Mary was sitting in the sun outside her house. It was a normal day; a bit of cooking, a bit of helping around the house. She was having a few minutes rest, when suddenly an angel appeared.
“‘Are you Mary?' he asked.
“’Yes, who are you?' the startled girl replied.
“’I’m an angel from God, and I have a surprise for you. You’re going to have a baby.’
“Mary raised her hand to her mouth. ‘It would be a surprise, I’m not even married.’...”
...
Tumblr media
“... The three wise men were just going to go back home when God said: 'Don’t tell Herod where Jesus is. He wants to hurt him, not worship him.'
"’Right,” they said. 'We’ll go back a different way.'
“They did, and so King Herod never found out where Jesus was.”
Tumblr media
“Alright, now let’s see what everyone got.”
Tumblr media
“A doll! Thank you!”
Tumblr media
“Sweet, a cookbook!”
Tumblr media
“Was that a pun?”
Tumblr media
“Maaaaybe...”
It was a happy little accident, truth be told.
Tumblr media
“A necklace!”
Tumblr media
“It’s beautiful.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, tea. What flavor?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“A toy bird... Uh... Thanks”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Turn its tail?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“It flies!”
Tumblr media
“More toy soldiers!”
Tumblr media
“Oh, ribbons! Thank you.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, I got a doll too! Annabelle, maybe we can have a tea party.”
Tumblr media
“Tomorrow?”
Tumblr media
“Tomorrow.”
Tumblr media
“Can I come too? I’ll bring some of Mama’s bloodleaf tea.”
Tumblr media
“You’re a boy...”
Tumblr media
“And bring your soldiers!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“And you too, Ghost.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, I got something for you!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
💞
“You’re welcome.”
