Before finding his way to Ladybug, he’d not had the luxury of a stable home since his adolescence. Once they come of age, unmated males are turned out of their communities, like baby birds being pushed from the nest. The reason is two-fold: no self-respecting elder wants their own mates sniffing out the potent scent of a younger male’s sex pheromones, aka the olfactory equivalent of a lighted billboard advertising FREE YOUNG COCK, HELP YOURSELF. Potent, demanding...Ladybug literally goes cross-eyed from the smell of him! 😂 As those sorts of public advertisements of virility were less than appreciated by the community at large, the youngins have to go. The other angle of it: as Anzan tells Ladybug, marriages are a tightly brokered business. Securing a good match for one’s son or daughter requires both money and influence in an extremely competitive and harsh culture. Families begin working to secure these all-important, highly-coveted matches as soon as drider babies are born. To have a son reach mating age without having a secured marriage contract is a sign of poor standing, of limited resources, a family’s shame; shame they are eager to be rid of.

Anzan works in tech, as a network security specialist. Ladybug is *shocked* when she learns he has a lucrative career. Even though his rent was always paid on time, she never really considered where his money was coming from. (Like...did she think he was just in her attic lifting weights for six months?) ((to be fair, he was probably lifting weights part of the time...I mean, look at him!)) She feels rather foolish once they’re together as a couple—she took in a boarder to keep from losing her house, while said boarder could easily buy her house several times over. Despite his comfortable circumstances, he is very used to living on the fringes and going without.

Drider courting culture is all about gifts and tokens (even though matches are secured early, traditional courting customs are observed.) Drider culture is largely matriarchal, with the females at the top of the family. Daughters are prized, as bride prices can lift a family from one social stratum to another, and males are expected to show their worth through gifts during courting. Having someone to spoil is a *revelation.* Anzan has a hard time breaking out of the mindset that his role is to provide for Ladybug in every way—do the shopping, protect their home, procure anything she might need so that she does not have to leave the safety of their home (because again: mates are prized and jealously guarded.) He defers to her in almost everything. She thinks it’s because he feels insecure in their relationship and with living in the town, and that’s part of it, although it’s a much smaller part than she assumes. Deferring to the household female is simply the mindset with which he was raised, and having someone to buy gifts for makes him giddy. (As giddy as Anzan gets, which is still 😐.)

Conversely, the coven in which Ladybug was raised places more importance on acts of service. If you got my newsletter this past weekend, you know all about love languages! Ladybug is a bit bewildered by the gifts at first, again, because she has different assumptions about why he’s buying her things, but as their relationship progresses, their love languages begin to meld. His gifts become less material and *very* specific to her—a bouquet of wildflowers she’s not familiar with (she decides she doesn’t want to contemplate where he found them, and definitely doesn’t want to contemplate him trespassing at Applethorpe Manor in the middle of the night to pilfer their garden,) or a typically hard-to-find potion ingredient, and he begins to pick up on her desire for “acts of service”—taking on some of the restoration and repair work around the house, constructing her outdoor sabbath shelter and assisting in her ceremonies. She buys him a giant sampler of fancy coffees for their first Yule together, and he is tickled pink to be on the receiving end of a gift,  particularly one that he loves. (Tickled pink: 😐) His antics with the flowers are a Plot Point™ in an upcoming Monster Match revisit of Alder the ghillie dhu, which will be posting in the next week or so!)

He LOVES movies. Part of “living on the fringes” meant going without traditional entertainment, and now he can’t get enough. He’s always shocked by the twists and turns in thrillers, develops a passion for foreign vampire costume dramas, can’t get enough of human-nonhuman buddy comedies. He’s turned part of the cellar into a home theater, and Ladybug loves indulging him in snuggling at his side to watch True Crime Dramas and Lizardperson nature documentaries. Big giant drider boyfriend utterly spellbound by totally predictable romcoms? It's more likely than you think!

As you already know from the Wheel of the Year stories, he outwardly has a hard time showing his emotions, but it’s worth remembering that the series is from Ladybug’s POV. To him, humans are OVER THE TOP in their emotional displays, and he’s the normal one. His stoicism does tend to lead to communication breakdowns in their relationship, but it’s very much a two-way issue. In general, he’s getting better at letting Ladybug into his head, and under that stern countenance, there's a very wicked sense of humor hiding. He possesses a “the ends justify the means” streak a mile wide, and I think Ladybug would be horrified at the ease with which he was willing to commit petty crimes.

Driders are not readily accepted into mixed societies, as they’re thought of as being hyper aggressive, extremely calculating, and generally vicious...reputations that largely stem from the lengths families will go to in order to secure marriages for their offspring. As a result, those males who are turned out of their communities are set up for solitary lives as outsiders, with no expectations of ever being accepted anywhere. Cambric Creek is a very rare community for accepting driders within the city’s confines, and even then it’s only just. Anzan and Philomel are the only driders in Cambric Creek, and Anzan is the only one who lives in town. (Philomel lives on the outskirts of town, practically in the woods. As Lettie says in The Watchers: “she’s running from some man or her family.” Lettie’s not wrong.) The residents of Cambric Creek juuuuust barely tolerates their drider neighbors, and that’s with both driders keeping mostly to themselves. Anzan and Philomel are both rarely seen, they both work from home, and typically leave their homes only at night. Neither are nocturnal, but they’re not immune to the whispers and fear from their neighbors, and take pains to minimize contact with others.

I’ve tried to give Cambric Creek a glossy veneer: everyone talks about how inclusive and welcoming it is, the housing market is extrememly competitive, the schools are well-funded and well-regarded for inclusivity, everyone is crunchy granola impressed with themselves...but if you look beneath the surface, the residents have their fair share of prejudices and pre-conceived notions. Anzan and Ladybug appear in Parties, glimpsed by Tate during his very first visit to that made-up place Silva lives, Corduroy Falls (insert Silva’s eyeroll here), and his immediate reaction is CALL THE POLICE, THERE’S A DRIDER. They are *not* a common species to see out and about, so Anzan is very much a fish out of water in our story, and that impacts the way he lives, as his main concern is for Ladybug, how she’s perceived, and keeping her safe. Spirits save the fool who ever thinks to do her harm, for the assumption that driders are aggressive and violent is not completely unfounded.

The resident of Slade Manor only *thinks* she’s spying on the drider next door. From his vantage point in the attic, Anzan spies on her all day long 😂 He is stealthy and sneaky and snoopy, and knows more about the neighbors than any of them realize.

Thanks so much, @1wren79​, this was a lot of fun!

If you have a burning desire to know how Bodi the Lizardman shops for pants or how Tate takes his tea, all ko-fi contributions earn a headcanon for the character of your choosing! (Length/complexity based on ko-fi amount, ko-fi in header)

fast cartoons are the easiest for me to do without a clear goal in mind. to be honest, being able to make myself laugh when i look back through a sketchbook is a lot more important to me than “proper” drawing, so quick cartoons with interesting context or dialogue make up the bulk of my work. it’s satisfying to put more time into a piece sometimes, but it does require a different mindset, and one that i’m less likely to be in on any given day, especially if i’m busy. it’s much easier to get frustrated with planned and drafted pieces.

i’m glad that many of the styles i put out on this blog are well-received! i’m glad that you see this as range in my art! but my “scribble” cartoons are the most fun and accessible to me on a regular basis, and i’m proud of them. i don’t put anything up on this blog that i wasn’t at least a little proud of when i made it, even if all i was proud of was the dialogue. i guess what i want you to take away from this is that i’m frustrated with the language of “just little scribbles” and “proper” art, even if you’re kind of poking fun at yourself while you say it.

you can find more planned and cleaned-up klapollo art that i’ve done recently here (which is the most stylistically similar to what i just posted) and here. i don’t know whether you’re interested in the more structured art in general, or the very cleaned-up digital look. if you’re just interested in the more structured stuff, like the second image set i linked, you can find it by browsing through my klapollo tag. i don’t tend to do very cleaned-up digital work often because, historically, it doesn’t actually get that much attention on the blog. this doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing, but it means that it has to be a project that i’m willing to commit that much time to for myself.

the six-shooter piece didn’t get nearly as much attention as some of my quick-and-rough cartoons have. i was incredibly proud of it at the time, so that kind of sucked. but i hadn’t done it to get validated on the internet; i had done it because i had imagined the image composition and i thought “that’s fun, i want to make that real.” part of the reason i’ve been updating this blog much, much more frequently than i used to lately is that i’ve reached the point where i draw what i want for me, and if i think other people might like something i post it, but if they don’t--disappointing, but i’m still happy to have made it. the oocc + aa series of cartoons is completely self-indulgent. some of them are really well-received, some of them aren’t. but they make me really happy to draw, so i keep investing the time in them.

i want to be really clear that this isn’t personal, and i’m not sitting here going “man, this jerk doesn’t respect me or the effort involved in art,” but you’ve stumbled across a pet peeve of mine. very clean digital work is usually a solid time investment for me. as it says in the caption, i spent at least three hours on the fluri picture. i don’t remember how much time i spent on the six-shooter piece, but i’d definitely guess upwards of five hours. just about everything i post is something that i’ve made for myself in my free time, and i’m happy to share them with you at no cost. i’m thrilled that people enjoy them. sometimes in the tags or the replies, people will have comments or ideas that i like enough to explore more, and that’s great! but it’s much more likely to be as a quick cartoon than a carefully planned and refined piece. high-effort, clean digital work is, for me, a bigger commitment to make for a little bit of validation on the internet that isn’t even a guarantee. does this mean i’m never going to post refined digital works? of course not. i’ll throw them into the mix sometimes just like i have been.

tl;dr- you’re always going to see a lot more cartoons than extremely clean pieces from me. this is because i’m an amateur artist producing content for free. you can find some cleaner pieces for klavier and apollo in the tags on my blog. i think all of my tags should be pretty straightforward, although i would be happy to clarify or point you in the right direction.

i get some really nice comments on my work, and i really, really appreciate that. you guys make my day a little brighter. this isn’t a cry for validation. but i’ve been gaining followers at a baffling rate recently, and i wanted to establish some boundaries. sorry you happened to be the one to catch my attention!

to be completely honest, i wouldn’t be comfortable producing high-effort work on request + for free on a regular basis even if i could, because i don’t want to undermine professional artists. my peers deserve to have their professional time and commitments respected. if there’s a lot of interest, i could get ko-fi and/or patreon going, and i would be more than happy to compensate people for their support with some cleaner pieces. i have a vague idea of how i would set up my price scale for commissions, but again, i would need to know there was interest if i was going to go through the work of setting that up. 

#i hope that this goes without saying but dont like. track this person down in my notes and bother them #i dont even know if i have the following for that sort of thing but id rather not find out #choc talks #not art
