Can you imagine being an fbi agent and getting a report from the ceo of tumblr dot com that someone has said (checks notes) she hopes ur car explodes with hammers. And being expected to take that seriously

#sep talks #LIKE. COME ON #its not even 'I'm going to explode his car with hammers'

Okay I now have siffrin mirabelle and bonnie!!! Siffrin was definitely the easiest to make out of everyone bc. Hat. Big white cape. Eyepatch. Done. Mira was harder bc there's no equivalent of her little cape thing and no circles-inside-circles but there IS an outfit with a sword so I count it as a win. Bonnie was near impossible bc well. No oversized sleeveless shirts. No hat of the right type. But we DO have boots. Didn't have the right hair either :( alas. So bonnie just kind of sucks here. Bonus under the cut

We don't have cooking utensils so I gave them a bell!! I think it would be funny. I think odile would do murder

Theoretically I COULD have used height spells to get the characters all the right heights but it's random and semi-permanent (until u use another spell) and I'm near max height rn and want to stay that way. So. No. Unfortunately this DID mean I had to use the chibi mask for bonnie so they r teeny tiny compared to everyone else BUT

Chibi characters run like this. So I count that as a win

Tbh I think staying at zeldas cottage together is the funniest possible thing that could've happened to silas+marcia specifically. Silas goes from thinking marcia is cold and unfeeling and insane to being like "oh so she CAN experience joy but only when she's telling us over breakfast all about the latest extremely niche topic she's gotten invested in. And also she's insane"

#sep talks #septimus heap #marcia overstrand #silas heap #like I do love to make them have deep meaningful talks while at zeldas bc I think it's like. The only time that could feasibly happen #but this is more realistic and also funnier #like he still hates her it's just for different reasons now. He has seen her for who she is rather than who he thought she was #and he does not like who she is

ID: 2 digital sketches of septimus heap and mandy marwick. In the first drawing they are teenagers and in the second they are adults.

1: Septimus and Marwick sat next to each other. Septimus has Marwick's keeper's journal open on his lap and is pointing at something in it. Marwick is watching him with a smile. Septimus is wearing his green apprentice tunic and cloak, and his silver belt and brown boots. Marwick is wearing a dark brown cloak with a silver pin, beige shirt and brown trousers and boots.

2: Septimus and Marwick hugging. They both have their eyes closed and are smiling. Marwick is taller than Septimus and is wearing a plain tunic. Septimus is wearing his ExtraOrdinary Wizard robes.

End ID

Commissions of sep and marwick from @vithcy who is INCREDIBLE and AMAZING and maybe a mind reader bc these r like. The greatest thing I've ever seen. Maybe a little silly to say they feel custom made for my tastes given I commissioned them but considering how vague I was in asking!!!! Literally that!!!!! Images specifically designed to make me scream and yell and eat rocks!!!

#sep talks #septimus heap #mandy marwick #I genuinely can't look at the second one for too long bc I get overwhelmed and have to calm down #ANYWAY. LOOK AT THESE. LOOK AT THEM. MY BELOVEDS MY SPECIAL FAVOURITES #also entirely unrelated but I burned my thumb earlier and it Hurts to type. Oh well <3 #if my ID needs anything pls lmk!! Head not quite on straight today I don't think #I have very little coherent to say abt these rn other than screaming (good thing) 👍

I'm sure I've said this before but truly I think when marcia dies she's either going to be like 126 and dies in her sleep OR she dies at age 52 from like. Breaking a heel and falling down a flight of stairs or something. There's no in between she either dies young and dramatically or just somehow doesn't die for ages

#sep talks #septimus heap #marcia overstrand #alternatively I go with isadoras marcia-as-magyk hc/au in which she never dies

[septimus-heap]

Siffrin may be experiencing The Horrors but at least they can do what we all want to do (kill himself for dramatic effect at a slight inconvenience)

#sep talks #ISAT #in stars and time #tw suicide #<-I guess #I doubt this happens in the game but I haven't finished yet so if it does happen. Don't tell me <3 #siffrin #I don't think this is spoilers. The entire premise of the game is the time loops so

Okay this will be a horribly worded post but um. That thing in sh where things get free from some kind of imprisonment and then they don't ever want to go back. Marcia and dn1 ofc. Septimus+marwick and the ya. The shield bugs and their pots. Jim knee (and the other jinnees (<-how do u spell that)) and like. His jar. Merrin and domdaniel even. Simon and the darke. The ring wizards!!! It happens so often and I think it's very cool

Marcia being the 776th EOW is so funny. I imagine she used to get very upset that she wasn't born like 20 years later so she could be the 777th EOW

#sep talks #septimus heap #marcia overstrand #like this isn't smth that would ever matter to septimus. He doesn't care what number eow he is #but I can definitely see teenage marcia being sad abt it

“Wotcha, your most Senior Apprenticeness!” Beetle’s voice sounded out cheerily.

“Oh, very funny. Hello, Beetle—gosh, what are you wearing?” asked Septimus.

Beetle flushed. “Oh,” he said. “You noticed.”

Septimus stared at Beetle’s new acquisition—a short, navy blue jacket adorned with a plethora of gold braid and frogging. “I could hardly not notice,” he replied. “What is it?”

This is so funny I love it. (septimus voice) why does everyone I love wear such stupid clothes

I'm so obsessed w the brief millipede pov in magyk. Yes tell us what the bug thinks of this situation

"average castle resident gets kidnapped 3 times per year" factoid actually just statistical error. average castle resident gets kidnapped 0 times per year. Septimus Heap, who is the Extraordinary Apprentice and gets kidnapped over 10,000 times a week, is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted

#sep talks #septimus heap #look. Sorry. But this poor kid has been kidnapped an awful lot for someone who isn't even old enough to do his gcse's

Once again thinking abt how Alther was lucky enough to die on a day where he had put a lot of effort into his appearance and so he gets to appear put together for his entire ghosthood, when in reality when he was alive he was kind of messy looking. And how Marcia (who was at risk of assassination basically every day for 10 years) puts so much effort into appearing perfect all day every day. I do think she's just someone who likes to look good because she's Like That but there's a difference between wanting to appear professional for your important job, or wanting to look nice bc u like to, and having to look your best every single day because while your predecessor got lucky, you might not

#sep talks #septimus heap #marcia overstrand #alther mella #sorry I'm sure I've talked abt this before but I'm doing it again!! #there's a lot to say abt marcia and her fixation on her appearance. But I'll leave it at this for now bc I'm rlly tired

[septimus-heap]

I know I joke abt marcia having 1 brain cell but actually I think she has a completely normal amount of brain cells it's just they r all dedicated to knowing everything abt magyk. Only 1 is left for things like common sense and critical thinking and such

Can't stop thinking abt marcia and simon!!!! They're the same person!! They're the same person except marcia got the apprenticeship and simon didn't!!! Marcia worked hard for years and then it all paid off but simon worked hard for years and then everything came crashing down around him. Of course he went insane

#sep talks #septimus heap #marcia overstrand #simon heap #this isn't ENTIRELY true to the letter ofc. They ARE different ppl #but like. In this they r the same #I think they differ in how they would break if they were locked in that bathroom for however long #bc I think helping others and being kind is just so ingrained into who marcia is that she could never even try and stop #maybe I sound insane it's v late I just randomly woke up and needed to say this

[septimus-heap]

Honestly it's probably a good thing simon never became marcias apprentice. If he did then suddenly all 6 of his siblings have to somehow live up to that. He genuinely did set the bar so low that anything any of them do is better
