Hi, I was just wondering if you'll ever have a dedicated post, link, area, etc. filled with all of the designs you've made for Peltrune and Pawtale? I would love to draw some of these designs one day but don't want to spend all day scrolling through the blog :0
Oh yeah i can totally do that! It might take me a bit to put together but I'll add it to the to do list for sure :3

i think the main difference in personality so far between puppy-stellina and puppy-kepler is that kep has a lot more patience.
that brings a lot of positive qualities: he has better emotional control and is less prone to tantrums and outbursts than stellina was (i.e. if i have to stop for 10 seconds on a walk to pick up poo, stellina would yelp and pull and cry at being asked to stop). it also means he has better focus and is more forgiving of repetition in training - he doesn't give up nearly as easily when frustrated. and things that may startle or scare him he's more willing to try again or overcome (e.g. he slipped on my stairs and hurt his foot and didn't want to go back up the stairs for a few days, but eventually started trying again. and when butters slaps him he yelps and backs off, but still thinks she's Super Fun and tries to make friends). so he's a bit more methodical in his thinking.
but it does also bring some negatives too: because he has patience, he does not give up once he's decided something. if stellina was overtired and i put her in a crate, she'd fuss for a minute then pretty quickly go "hm alright then" and go to sleep. if i do the same to kep, he fights it and fights it because he doesn't want to be asleep and that's that. he's much more difficult to redirect or distract, and i have to be a lot more mindful of managing him because once he's decided something is fun or tasty or whatever it takes a lot to dissuade him, and he'll go back to it at the first chance. he's very slow to learn boundaries as a result - i have to do a lot more convincing than i'm used to.
they are still overall very similar personalities, especially as they're the same breed and from very similar lines, but i think so far this has been the biggest quality that i've needed to adjust to. puppy-stellina i had to do a lot of mental adjustments learning how to manage her short emotional threshold and sensitivity, so it's interesting to see what does and doesn't translate over to kep.

this is a thought for future lily to apply into practice if met with demand and approval, but:
all my fics are on ao3 anyway and the link to that is in the pinned post, but i could just make a list with the direct links to those on here as well if that's something people would want. let me know.

The whole League of Assassins/Shiva plot that was set up in Batgirls is yet another unresolved thing like the Court of Owls/James Gordon Jr. thing.
Idk, there's two plots that can lead into series for Babs and Cass.
Steph... uh, she can... get coffee for Jason still I guess. 😭

one thing i will say that person from earlier got right, a large part of my goal in pointing out all the things wrong w what they said was doing it "for an audience" so to speak, hence screenshotting and sharing their pre-block response and my own. like. yeah, if i make a public post in support of a thing i believe in, why would i /not/ then yknow. continue the rest of the conversation publically when someone else publically responds. this is a blogging platform and you provided an excellent example of the kind of thing i blogged about, like. dunno what to tell you there. be a less good example maybe?

this may be an unpopular opinion but i personally think that Eleanor has a part in Ice’s childhood being shitty. obviously the Colonel is the main reason why but what i’ve seen so far, she didn’t really defend Ice or any of the other kids. Ice basically raised John and Tim when that should have been Eleanor’s job. Everyone in the family has become comfortable with putting pressure on Ice. They all since he’s strong enough to take it, he should. The scene where Sarah hugged the Colonel right in front Ice made me a little mad and sad for Ice. I hope that Mav puts them in their place but that normally isn’t how it works :(
Hey nonnie!
I would have to agree, to a point. To build their backstory up for you a bit (since it will come out over time through Tom's narrating), Eleanor and Bill Kazansky got married when she was 20 and he was 21, and they had Tom a year or so later.
Eleanor had 5 kids in 8 years and a husband who was away all the time. I think she tried her best and she loves the hell out of all her kids, and she does love her husband, but this was also the 60s (Tom was born in '61 [so in 1987 he's 26], John in '62, there was a miscarriage in '63, the twins in '66, and Tim in '68 which nearly killed her). Leaving your husband was basically unheard of, and how would she even do that?
They'd have bounced around every 2-3 years (or sooner than that, depending on Bill's postings) and she wouldn't have had a community to rely on other than friends she'd make on post before getting transferred again every time she got comfortable. Tom was born in San Clemente and lived in 6 different states (as well as briefly abroad in Germany) before his 13th birthday, after which Bill's job sent them back to California.
Long story short Eleanor tried her best, she really did, and she made sure her kids knew she loved each and every one of them. But she did also put pressure on Tom when he was growing up because a part of her needed someone to support her. Tom also is the oldest and definitely has firstborn syndrome so I think he, just being Tom, stepped up to the plate to be there for his siblings because at his core he's a protector. Little Tom would have gotten to the age when he realized how much his mom was doing and stepped in to do it with her, and I think at first she probably protested, but the relief of not having to do it all alone was probably overwhelming.
I think Eleanor and Tom have a really complicated relationship, but Tom definitely doesn't resent his mom for it, not at all. I think Tom understands, and that's why he's so protective of her and says she tried her best and makes sure Pete knows he never doubted that his mom loved him for even a nanosecond.

one of the things i genuinely didn't like about trucy was that she was always 100% a magician, even after all that trauma, and like. the more i think about her the more i am Not Sure it makes sense. like yes phoenix supports her obviously and yes she's got the rights to the gramarye stuff and whatnot but. i just can't see it! what has magic ever been for her except a source of Trauma!
however. you know what i do think makes sense for trucy and i would like your input on?
prosecutor trucy. she learned a lil too much from miles and franziska and now the autopsy report has its own disappearing act.
what do you think? :O
huh that's interesting! I suppose that makes sense, it's never really been something I've had an issue with! I think I've always seen it as like yeah it's something that's caused her so much grief in her life but she's still so passionate about it that it doesn't let that stand in the way of her enjoying the thing she loves
I think if it really was upsetting her and burdening her constantly with the trauma she's faced, she would have dropped the magician thing a few years into her living with Phoenix. At first I think she would have kept it up to assure Phoenix that she was fine, but slowly taper off as she grew up and blame it on 'oh yeah that was just a phase, now I'm going to immerse myself in (x)' to distance herself from the magic
I think there's a lot of narratives out there of kids who don't want to follow their family's legacy (AA being one of them with the Feys, which is great and I really love the hot mess that family is, but that's another essay of thoughts) so it kinda makes me happy to see this kid who has this legacy family and even though it's kinda fucked her over more than anything she still manages to find happiness and joy in it instead of feeling like it's always a negative reminder of everything she's lost
and the fact that Phoenix encourages her (even though he's had a peek at how fucked up this family is) to keep doing what she loves and stay connected with her biological family legacy is really cool! I also don't think there's many narratives about adopted kids where their adopted family is like 'hell yeah let me support you to keep your biological family's legacy alive' I think--especially when bio family has left you with trauma--there's always an emphasis on 'you don't have to stick with that name that family that legacy and you're just part of this family now and that's what matters' so there's a cool balance there!
idk I just think she's a fun parallel to Maya who is very burdened by the tragic legacy of her family and keeps up happy appearances to reassure those around her and then Trucy who ALSO does that but but is...empowered by her family's legacy even tho it was traumatic?
and not to say that the way Trucy handles it is Correct™ and the way Maya does is Incorrect™ but the dichotomy is wonderful and I love these girls very much
there's also something to be said about Pearl and her part in the Fey family legacy and all the trauma she's endured and I think it'd be interesting for her to have both Maya and Trucy to look to on how they each handle that burden
