*sneaks in timidly* ...💛? *darts away covering face shyly* 🙈
Okay okay, it’s tough, but I’m going to have to go with Ru. The kelpie storyline is so interesting and different, and I love how this creature has managed to blend in and become almost human… and enjoy photography! So quirky and cool 🥰

Tuesday, June 18, 2019
Tuesday was our second and final day at Universal Studios: Hollywood. Also known as Harry Potter day and my favorite part of the entire park! (FYI, I’m a HUGE Harry Potter fan!)
Tumblr media
Now, this Wizarding World is about a quarter or maybe a third of the one in Orlando, so even though there wasn’t much to do, we still had lots of fun. (And yes, I wore my robes 😊)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The day started out cold and foggy but by the end of it, the sun had come out and it was too warm for my robes.
We, of course, had to go through Ollivander’s because you can’t be a witch or wizard without a wand! My brother and I already have wands (from a previous trip to Orlando), but Ru still needed to get hers. While we were in the shop, Connor – being the weirdo he is – decided he was going to start collecting all the Death Eater wands.

25. Feeding each other food for Ru and Estrid 😊
25. Feeding each other food (Rustrid)
featuring Estrid Soelberg @thatravenpuffwitch, Galen Stagg @cursebreakerfarrier and Siobhan Llewelyn @kc-and-co💛
If one were to ask a magizoologist what best to feed a kelpie, most would answer that they're omnivores that will eat just about anything, but are very fond of fish, which is one of the two main things they hunt (the other being humans, which obviously is not a good idea to feed any kelpie you plan on domesticating).
If you were to have consulted Galen Stagg in the later years of his life, however, he would probably have smiled fully and immediately suggest apples. And the reason for the wistful, amused grin on his face would be the memory of his good friend Ru stealing apple pie right off of Estrid's fork one day at dinner one night.
"Ru!" Estrid said, startled. "That's mine."
Ru smirked.
"Didn't see your name on it," they said through the big mouthful of food.
"It was bound to happen, with you leaving it out there on your fork like that, Estrid," Siobhan said amusedly.
Galen gave a quiet laugh despite himself. "Hungry animals always pilfer food, when you get distracted."
"I was trying to listen to what you were saying," Estrid huffed.
She tried to scowl, but it was a bit hard, given how big her smile was. Ru was grinning more fully than ever as they lounged across the bench next to Estrid, their arm flopping down on the table as they propped their head up on their hand. They smacked their lips in a rather loud, uncouth kind of way.
"Mm...this is good," Ru said with interest. "Is that apple?"
"Yes," said Estrid.
"Have you never had apple pie before, Ru?" said Siobhan, surprised.
Ru's electric blue eyes flitted up to Siobhan quickly. Estrid could practically feel the pause they took before responding.
"...Well, the folks don't exactly bake a lot," they said gruffly. "Don't really spoil us much either, aside from stuffy dress robes and uncomfortable shoes."
Estrid knew this was a lie of sorts, given the real reason Ru had never had apple pie would've been because apple pie isn't something you can hunt inside or around the Black Lake...but, at the same time, it probably wasn't a complete lie, all the same. The Ollivanders had always been a rather distant and formal to the point of neglect sort of family, and they'd never really paid their youngest child much mind, either before or after Ru took the real Rudolph's place.
Galen smiled. "Well, this pie is a very good one. The elves really have outdone themselves with it."
Ru eyed the remainder of the piece of pie on Estrid's plate with interest. "Hm, yeah..."
Within a moment, they'd reached into their robes and pulled their box camera out of the inside pocket. They then immediately brought up in front of their right eye, peeking through it at Estrid's plate with single-minded focus.
"Ru," Estrid couldn't help but sigh even as her smile grew wider still, "are you seriously taking a picture of my pie?"
"It's a pie worth remembering," Ru said haughtily.
They frowned deeply as they set about trying to find the right angle, craning their neck and moving from the bench to down to the floor and back.
"Bloody lighting," they muttered more irritably. "If only the ceiling wasn't overcast -- some sun would do these shadows some good..."
They were so focused on what they were doing that they didn't even notice the fork right beside their mouth until Estrid lightly tapped their cheek with it. Ru opened their left eye and was startled to see another piece of apple pie skewered on the end of it and Estrid smiling fully.
"Galen thinks you should be eating dinner, not playing with it," she said airily.
She glanced significantly at Galen, who blushed a rosy pink as he brought his hand away from the apple pie tin that he'd slid across the table to sit in front of Ru. Siobhan was laughing.
Ru cocked their eyebrows very coolly at Estrid. Then, very slowly and pointedly, and while keeping eye contact with her the entire time, the kelpie leaned in and brought the fork into their mouth, sliding the pie off the prongs into their mouth and eating it. Once they'd swallowed the pie, they smacked their lips, smirking fully.
"...I can multitask," Ru said just as coolly in return.
Finally, breaking eye contact with Estrid at last, they then whipped back around to look through their camera at her pie. Estrid bowed her head, unable to bite back a laugh herself.
"So am I just not going to get my pie back?" she asked amusedly.
"Not until I'm happy with the shot," Ru shot back mischievously. After a moment, they added, "I'll, uh...take another piece, though -- if you and Galen are really so determined to make me eat while I work."
Estrid shook her head, but she smiled all the same as she cut Ru another piece of pie, skewered it with her fork, and offered it to them. Only once Ru had found a good resting position for their camera so that it wouldn't move when they looked up did they shift over enough to once again nip it off Estrid's fork and eat it, licking and smacking their lips happily, before looking back through the viewfinder.
"You do realize everyone's going to think you two are going steady all the more, after this," Siobhan teased them.
"Shut it," both Ru and Estrid said dully.

“If I lay here -- if I just lay here --  Would you lie with me and just forget the world?”
~“Chasing Cars” by the Snow Patrol
x~x~x~x
featuring Ru Ollivander and Estrid Soelberg @thatravenpuffwitch​ and a reference to Galen Stagg @cursebreakerfarrier​ 💛 
x~x~x~x
Graduation. It was an event that marked the beginning of a new life, for the students of Hogwarts -- one that, at the turn of the 20th century, often included marrying and promptly starting a family, especially if one came from a well-respected magical family.
The Ollivanders were mortified, therefore, when their youngest child Rudolph (almost exclusively called “Ru”) instead promptly left their family home in favor of moving to Denmark to live with their close school friend Estrid Soelberg and her grandfather Maynard. It was particularly egregious considering that neither Ru nor Estrid had expressed any intention of or interest in marriage despite their cohabitation. 
This is what happens, though, when you pair up a rebellious kelpie impersonating the boy who tried and failed to bridle them when they were young with the solitary half-Veela who somehow managed to bring out and nurture their most human traits. One could hardly expect people like Ru and Estrid to follow popular convention. And so the two pointedly ignored the appalled reactions of the rest of Wizarding society and set about figuring out how to start the next chapter of their lives side by side.
The first hurtle for Ru was eating a proper dinner at the table with Estrid and Maynard, the way normal people do. They had become very used to eating alone, since before Hogwarts they frequently had to scavenge for food, and even at school, they had difficulty not hoarding food away from everyone else. But Maynard -- who’d heard so many stories about Ru from Estrid over the years that he’d already grown quite fond of them -- wished to be hospitable to Ru and make them feel welcome, and as much as the dinner made Ru uncomfortable, they weren’t blind to how much Estrid clearly esteemed her grandfather and really wanted him and Ru to get along. Plus it was because of Maynard that Ru now had a place to live in the first place, so it did behoove the kelpie to show some respect. And so, with some reluctance, Ru soldiered through and stayed at the table. Fortunately, even if their table manners were atrocious and they acted incredibly evasive the entire time, Maynard was a patient man and only approached Ru’s standoffishness with indulgence. He even managed to engage Ru a bit when he mentioned his love for painting.
“What style do you gravitate toward, in your work?” Ru asked, curious. “Neoclassism? Art Nouveau?”
“Oh, nothing quite that avant-garde,” said Maynard with a laugh. “Though I do like it, certainly. No, most of my stuff is more Romantic, in look...you’ll have to forgive an old man for being nostalgic for older styles.”
Ru gave a light snort. “There’s nothing wrong with older styles, if they’re any good. It’s just the Romantic stuff is fluffy and pointless.”
Rather than be offended by this rude assessment, Maynard merely raised his eyebrows, interested.
“Oh? I always thought the style helped capture the true beauty of the world we live in -- even the simplest, most seemingly insignificant kind.”
“That beauty can’t be true when the art polishes it beyond recognition,” Ru countered. “Romantic art turns generals into saviors, gardens into paradise -- normal men with scars and limps and bad posture into nothing but polished, perfect statues. It’s daft. The Romantics were so obsessed with capturing their precious feelings on canvas that all their work does is telegraph what they want their audience to think and feel, rather than trust them to use their own eyes and brains...or let the images just speak for themselves.”
Their electric blue eyes were as bright as the diamond earrings dangling beside their long hair -- shining with a bizarre kind of conviction.
“That’s the true magic of photography -- capturing a moment, just as it is, with all the little mistakes and flaws and blemishes therein. And yet also capturing a person and all of their beauty -- even the flawed, human things that painters stupidly try to gloss over.”
Maynard appeared pleasantly surprised by the response. His eyes seemed to brighten as he shot Estrid a rather wry smile. 
“Well now, Estrid, your friend truly has an artist’s soul!” he said, sounding rather proud. He beamed at Ru. “I have heard marvelous things about your photography, from Estrid. I don’t suppose there’s any photographs you’d be willing to show me, when time permits?”
Ru blinked. Then, upon receiving an encouraging look from Estrid, they gave a mild shrug.
“...S’pose there’s a few,” they granted with a small smirk of their own.
Maynard ended up looking over several albums of Ru’s work while Estrid helped Ru unpack the rest of their things. He was particularly charmed by how many pictures Ru had taken of Estrid dancing. 
When Ru went into the bathroom to wash up for the night, Maynard pulled Estrid aside.
“He’s not fully human either, is he?”
Estrid looked at her grandfather, startled. 
“I would think you sensed it too,” said Maynard. His gaze and voice were very calm. “I’d hazard a guess at mermaid ancestry, but I’m not quite sure...”
Estrid’s dark eyes flitted over to the closed door of the bathroom uncomfortably. 
The old half-Veela brought a hand down onto his granddaughter’s shoulder and gave it a light squeeze.
“No matter,” said Maynard. “It was merely mild curiosity, on my part...your friend seems to have sparked some to life inside of me, whether he meant to or not.”
Estrid looked up at Maynard. His eyes were sparkling fondly. 
“He is a truly fascinating person, my dear,” he murmured. “I can see why you’ve become so fond of him.”
Estrid smiled slightly too, her eyes softening. 
Ru spent a lot of time in the bathtub “washing up” before finally coming out. By the time they’d emerged, their fingers and toes were all wrinkled up like prunes, which seemed to please them quite a bit.
“Now, you see this? This is something else fun about humans,” they said with a broad grin as they sidled in front of the mirror in Estrid’s room and wrung their long black hair dry with a towel. “This body’s three-quarters water -- yet leave it in water for that amount of time, and the skin just crumples under the weight of it! It’s bonkers.”
“If you want to experiment with that again, go take a dip in the pond,” said Estrid coolly. 
She was sitting up in bed and she kept her focus on the book she was reading as she spoke, trying to ignore the fact that Ru had strolled into her room for a chat while dressed in only a smoking jacket. 
“You’re just lucky Grandfather likes you enough to forgive you for using up all the hot water,” she added as she turned the page. 
Ru gave a light bluster through their nose and mouth. “Your grandfather’s a wizard, isn’t he? He can always just heat up some more with his wand, can’t he?”
“No, he can’t,” Estrid shot them down without looking up from her book. “Grandfather never attended Hogwarts. He’s never used a wand.”
Ru blinked slowly at Estrid’s reflection in her long mirror as they considered this. Then, finally, they gave a light “...Hm” and dropped the issue. Clearly they’d decided it really wasn’t their business and, out of respect for Maynard, chose not to press Estrid for an explanation.
“I suppose the pond out there would be a nice place for a swim anyhow,” said Ru offhandedly. “Reckon there’d be some interesting moss and aquatic plants around there too...might make for some good pictures...”
With their black hair now dry, they strode over to Estrid’s bed and flopped down next to her. Their head landed right on the pillows, right above Estrid’s. 
“Ru?” said Estrid, startled. “What are you -- ?”
“What?” said Ru. “It’s comfortable.”
Estrid flushed as Ru closed their eyes. 
“It’s my bed,” she said forcefully. 
But Ru had already started to settle themselves in, turning over in bed so that their face rested in the light blond hair at the top of her head. They exhaled through their nose in a soft sigh that tickled Estrid’s forehead.
Estrid’s blush darkened. “Ru...you’re only half-dressed, you dalcop -- get up -- ”
Ru mumbled something largely undiscernible. 
Estrid brought a hand up to Ru’s chest as if to push them right out of bed, but she found herself hesitating, seeing the look on Ru’s face. 
All tension or strain had left their dark brows or long-lashed eyes. It left a strange, almost innocent expression behind...one better suited to a child, drifting off to a soft lullaby. 
The Hufflepuff didn’t think she’d ever see Ru look quite so peaceful before. 
“Ru...” she said a bit more softly. 
Closing her book and putting it down on the side table, she turned her focus more properly to Ru. She brought her hands up to adjust their smoking jacket, so as to better cover their hairless chest. 
Ru shifted slightly in bed -- without opening their eyes, they blindly brought a hand up through her hair. Then they adjusted on the pillows so that Estrid’s face ended up in the crook of their neck, right beside the glinting silver “bridle” chain fastened there. 
“...’Strid...” their voice came out as a sleepy garble.
Their long fingers tangled in her hair as they cradled the back of her head. Estrid’s expression softened a bit -- she remembered Galen mentioning once that playing with each other’s manes was something kelpies did to express affection. Ru themselves had taken to braiding Estrid’s hair, when they were spending time together on their own, back at school. 
They’d had a long day, Estrid decided. Moving to a new country to start a life you never thought you ever would -- all in preparation for a new newspaper job the next morning -- wasn’t something you did every day. No sense in scolding them for being a bit tired. 
Leaning forward, the Hufflepuff tentatively placed a soft kiss to Ru’s jawline. The feel of their soft, porcelain skin under her lips made her heart race and made Ru give a soft, contented sigh.
“Good night, Ru,” Estrid whispered.
Reaching for her wand on her side table, she quietly put out the lights. Then she brought the covers up and over the two of them, settled back down on the pillows beside Ru, and closed her eyes herself.
By morning, the two slept fully in each other’s embrace, Estrid curled up in a ball at Ru’s side while their legs and arms wound around her, their hand cupped beside her cheek and hair and their face resting beside hers on the pillow. When Estrid woke, the sight of Ru sleeping so peacefully beside her prompted her to kiss them awake -- a tradition that the two would take turns indulging in several times over, on those many wonderful mornings they would wake up, side by side.

“Ballerina girl...you are so lovely... I can see in you my dreams come true -- Don't you ever go away...”
~“Ballerina Girl” by Lionel Richie
x~x~x~x
At last! Here’s that additional Ru/Estrid content I promised last week! It was so fun to draw your girl again after such a long time, @thatravenpuffwitch​! 💛 (Estrid’s leotard and tutu is based on the Victorian era ballet costume on the right of this photograph!)
My kelpie kid Ru’s main passion is photography, but they’re also enamored with Muggle animation. One of their favorite models ends up becoming their “keeper,” Estrid, particularly when she practices ballet. In Ru’s words, Estrid’s limbs “just move interestingly” when she dances. So here Ru is with their favorite model, very hard in concentration as they try to capture the grace of Estrid’s hands and feet. I frankly don’t blame Estrid for being a little startled by just how intense Ru’s gaze is...even when I showed my mum this sketch, she said she found their eyes very striking! 😊I actually have two other sketches of Ru in my sketchbook that I hope to finish editing, one as a kelpie and one in human form (hey, what can I say, it’s been fun to do content for them again after so long!), so hopefully those’ll be done soon too.
Much love, all! Happy holidays!! ❄️

“Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives, Heedless of the gift it is to be them! If I was in their skin, I'd treasure every instant!”
~“Out There (cover)” by Elsie Lovelock
x~x~x~x
Yay, more content for my kelpie kiddo, Ru! 🐎
So the second one has actually been half-done in my sketchbook a long while, mostly because I kind of lost inspiration aside from “let’s experiment with Ru’s wardrobe as an adult.” Ru’s main fashion quirks are all there in that look -- un-Victorian-approved long hair, large diamond earrings and a few rings, wearing only a coat and no shirt so as to avoid the high collars...I even dusted it with their shoes being rather high heeled rather than of a more masculine style, despite wearing pants and a men’s waistcoat. But anyway, after finishing the sketch at the top, however, I found a perfect contrast, so here it is -- this is Ru at the beginning and end of their journey. 
At the top, you see Ru as a young kelpie colt of two years, still living in the Black Lake all alone and dwelling on the fascinating, intriguing things they’ve seen in passing at the wizarding school next to the Lake -- longing that they could, in Quasimodo’s words, “just live one day out there.” 
To contrast, at the bottom, you see Ru toward the end of their life, in their more established human form. They still appear quite young, but that’s only to blend in their appearance with their peers (who are in their 40′s) -- in truth, Ru’s rather old for a kelpie at the time, and they’ve started to have more difficulty changing their appearance, a clear sign of old age. And so, taking a moment to themselves under the stars outside their and Estrid’s home in Denmark, Ru can’t help but look back at where they started and wish that their time on Earth wasn’t doomed to be so fleeting. 
Have a magical day, all! Happy holidays!

RU FOR MERMAY!?!?!?
Tumblr media
"Oh, how beautiful it used to be, Just you and me far beyond the sea -- The waters, scarce in motion, Quivering still..."
~"Turn Loose the Mermaids" by Nightwish
x~x~x~x
I had been expecting HPHM canon characters, but...COME ON, there's no way I was going to pass up the chance to draw my kelpie kiddo as a merperson! 🥰 The darker-colored "scales" along their face, neck, waist, and underarms didn't quite turn out the way I hoped, but I tried to evoke their kelpie design, with the tail --
Tumblr media
Never thought of it before, but I must admit, Estrid would look pretty dang fine in Prince Eric's outfit from Disney's The Little Mermaid. 😏
Any HPHM merpeople you want to see from me, for Mermay?

🌌 Milky Way for all of your OCs
Whoo! This'll take a minute -- let's do this!
🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?
Tumblr media
Carewyn, as better explained here, is a fusion of my mum and myself as kids!
Tumblr media
Jacob, as better explained here, was inspired by the stories my mum used to tell me about her late brother!
Tumblr media
Erik was inspired largely by a friend of mine from high school who had this very cherubic face and also the largest, sassiest potty mouth of all of my friends. His name was also inspired by two of my favorite Broadway characters -- Erik from The Phantom of the Opera and Enjolras from Les Miserables (affectionately called “Apollo” in the book).
Tumblr media
Ana came about because I thought an INFP Gryffindor could be a really fun contrast, but personality-wise, she really took influence from both myself and my dad as kids, since my dad’s a Gryffindor and I’m an INFP.
Tumblr media
Farid, as better explained here, was inspired by both Newt and Jacob from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Yugi Mutou from Yu-Gi-Oh.
Tumblr media
Jackson, as better explained here, was inspired by historical stage magician Harry Houdini!
Tumblr media
Bat, as better explained here, was inspired by Garrett Denali from Twilight and Sirius Black, as well as other “Lancer” type figures like Ron Weasley and Jounouchi Katsuya from Yu-Gi-Oh.
Tumblr media
Ru was an evolution of an idea I’d developed much earlier on of a serial killer kelpie that transforms into various forms to eat people, but over time, they developed a love of photography and film that’s largely like my own for film and television, and in doing so developed a much more sympathetic motivation and personality. Their particular feeling of isolation and wanting to be part of this world they could only watch from afar is a feeling I’ve felt off-and-on for years and evoked both Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Ariel from The Little Mermaid, to me.
Tumblr media
Ed’s brain spark largely came down to me thinking it’d be fun to have a 90′s style boy band (i.e. Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC, 98 Degrees) in the Potterverse around the time when Harry and crew were at school. Backstory-wise, I took inspiration from Severus Snape, Andromeda Black-Tonks, and both Sirius and Regulus Black, and obviously Ed’s a Slytherin like Snape, Andromeda, and Regulus...but personality-wise Ed actually ended up taking some inspiration from Anna from Frozen! In fact, one of the character themes I chose for him as a child is a deleted song from Frozen that was originally going to be sung by Anna called More Than Just a Spare.
Tumblr media
Desiree came about largely because of the creation of Jules Aquila @kathrynalicemc. His spontaneous, fantasy-loving personality was just so likable (largely because of how in-tune I was with it myself!), so when I was working on a character that I thought could be a fun contrast for someone like Jules, I settled on using my late stepmum as inspiration. I’m a very right-brained, sensitive, imaginative person like Jules, while my stepmum as a girl was a very left-brained, soft-spoken, modest, scientific, nerdy overachiever the way Desiree is. Like Desi as well, my stepmum had to find freedom and happiness by breaking away from her family and home and starting a new life apart from them. Desiree also ended up gaining flickers of my mum (who has always been very sensible and organized and shares a personality type -- ISTJ -- with Desi), as well as Elsa from Frozen, Luisa from Encanto, and Tiana from The Princess and the Frog. Both Kath and I have also found amusement at how much Juliree resembles Aladdin/Jasmine from Aladdin, ship-wise, as well.
Tumblr media
Eli was largely inspired by comic film actors Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, as well as Robin Williams and Fiyero from the musical Wicked. Like Robin did, Eli struggles with severe depression, but works hard to keep a smile on so as to make others happy, and like Fiyero, he was the sort to “tune in and drop out” at school from an academic perspective, but he’s actually a lot deeper emotionally than he seems from the outside. 
Tumblr media
Bairn’s initial spark just came from me finding Brock O’Hurn and wanting to design a character that resembled him, honestly! 😂 I gotta thank @magical-retales for brainstorming a Renaissance-set storyline featuring Merlin, though...it was so much fun to take inspiration from different King Arthur storylines for Bairn’s character, like the Once and Future King series and Disney’s The Sword in the Stone. Bairn also took some cues from both Harry Potter and Charlie Weasley, being a Gryffindor orphan raised by uncaring Muggles with a longing for family and a love of nature and magical creatures!

Oc Asks Game: 2 and 23 for all of your MCs? If that's ok?
Whew! Okay, let's see...
Tea, coffee, hot chocolate or other?
Carewyn: Coffee! Like her good friend Talbott, she's a coffee addict to the extent her other half Orion tries to wean her off of it. Her favorite blend is a caramel macchiato, but she'll also drink it black in a pinch.
Jacob: Hot chocolate. Jacob is a chocoholic and he'll never pass up a good hot chocolate.
Lane: English Breakfast tea.
Erik: Coffee, black as his soul. LMAO just kidding. 🤣
Ana: Good old-fashioned milk, specifically skim, since it's what her mum raised her with in a misguided attempt to help "curb" her weight. She also loves orange and (thanks to her boo Charlie Copper's influence) lemon mimosas.
Farid: Juice!! This boy loves juice, especially orange juice, though he also becomes very fond of pumpkin juice while staying at Hogwarts. Also green tea and almond milk.
Ru: They'll drink most anything that isn't too sweet (they really don't like chocolate, for instance), but in the mornings they tend to like apple juice best.
Ed: Any kind of sweet coffee brew, especially if it's got lots of foam. He actually becomes rather fond of trying out new brews at Muggle coffee shops just for kicks, though one of his favorites so far is the white chocolate mocha. He also loves hot chocolate, especially white hot chocolate.
Desi: Tea! Earl Gray tea is her absolute favorite thing to have in the morning, alongside a French croissant.
Eli: Butterbeer, though after moving to the States and living as a Muggle, he also became very fond of root beer and Coca Cola. (Eli honestly has never had much respect for what drinks/foods belong to which times of the day, especially given how bonkers his schedule can be with rehearsals and the parties he'll stay up all night for, so yes, he will drink soda "for breakfast," so to speak.)
(And Jackson and Bat are here!)
What is your character’s favourite food and who cooks it best?
Carewyn: Potato crisps! Walkers makes good ones.
Jacob: As mentioned before, chocolate! As a kid he loved Cadbury eggs and Yorkie Bars, but as an adult traveling the world, he falls in love with Richart and Ghirardelli chocolate.
Lane: Pikelets! She learned how to make them at home early on and she's always loved making them for her bairns Carewyn and Jacob.
Erik: Cinnamon coffee cake! He also likes Red Hot candies.
Ana: Fresh bread, right out of the oven. Her favorite kind is German brown bread.
Farid: Curry! All kinds. One of his favorite recipes to make himself is a lamb curry with chopped apple, onion, potatoes, and golden raisins, as well as a bunch of spices.
Jackson: Crepes, specifically with strawberries and powdered sugar! He's become very fond of making them in the mornings for both himself and Monty.
Bat: This is going to sound so cliche if you know about Bat's love of Christmas...but figgy pudding. No one can make it like his mum used to!
Ru: Aaaaaaapples. This water horse will eat most anything, but they love apples. Apple pie and apple turnovers are their friend -- it doesn't take long for their other half Estrid @thatravenpuffwitch to figure this out, so she'll sometimes surprise them by going to the market and picking some up from time to time.
Ed: Cheesecake. Ed loves most pastries, but cheesecake is his OTL and it doesn't matter how cheap it is, he will always indulge in some. When he first tried Mrs. Weasley's cheesecake, he went very quiet as he ate the whole thing without stopping and he was grinning and flushed like a happy schoolboy for the entire rest of the day, he was so happy.
Desi: Croissants! Though while traveling she also tries and takes a liking to cornish pasties.
Eli: Custard. He also takes a liking to Jello, pudding, and meatballs, while living in the States.

Fashion Ask: I want to ask this for every MC but I can only think of a few at the moment...
Carewyn: I'm torn between Modern or Music, so... you can pick either or both?
Ana: Given her favourite genre in reading and writing, I'll try fantasy.
Ru: Pirate.
Ed: I don't know if you've brought it up earlier, but music would fit him a lot.
Desiree: Beach.
Ohmigoshsomanyrequestsokay --
So firstly -- Carewyn! Looking at modern fashion trends, there’s been a lot of spotlight put on the Dark/Light Academia aesthetic...I could see Carewyn liking some of that! Specifically, the Fairy Academia aesthetic, which tilts a bit more feminine and Victorian-inspired.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For Ana...I could TOTALLY see her embracing a Cardcaptor-Sakura-inspired look -- fantasy, with a shoujo Action Girl twist! I especially think Sakura’s Black Angel dress would suit Ana, given her love of the Gothic Victorian subculture. 🖤
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ru as a pirate...oh my GOD, talk about chaos. Glorious, wonderful, androgynous, sexy-as-all-get-out chaos. 🥰
