EAH was one of my very favorite cartoons as a kid, and I've been enjoying it's renaissance very much, so REDESIGNS!!! (I've done a bunch over a couple months and put them on Instagram, but I figured I'd move them here cause Instagram sucks, so if you've seen them before over there that's why)

I think the original designs are aesthetically pleasing, but they're not super practical for the characters- case in point! Gay icon Darling Charming

I'm gonna put all my design notes under the cut so if you don't care about that carry on, have a nice day

Darlings original design is fun, but it doesn't serve an obvious purpose, at least not that I can see. She clearly wears armor on the outside of her outfit, the Marie Antoinette poof is a bit strange to me, and she has very little visually tying her to Dexter and Daring. I wanted to emphasize her secrecy, but also her passion for puzzle solving, riddles, combat tactics, ect. when she's around the people she trusts (as if the queer metaphor wasn't obvious enough)

Here are some details that just make me happy

-First, the hair. I knew I wanted to give the White Knight a more unique look, and I wanted to simplify it overall. I LOVE the original armor, but it would be a huge pain to animate, and I don't have the patience for that, so I went for a masquerade-ball-three-musketeers-vibe. The braided bun is still a fancy, regal style, but it's a lot easier for her to manage in her uniform

-I tried to synthesize the color schemes of the Charming siblings. They all have a pit of yellow, a bit of pinkish red, a bit of blue. The twins lean heavy into yellow and blue, with splashes of red where thematically appropriate. Darling doesn't really communicate with Daring much, so she has the least amount of red. I think having more muted colors in comparison to her brothers also emphasizes the fact that she's hiding herself. She is very much defying her family with her ambitions, and she has to work hard to keep it under wraps. Sort of related, I gave her a tooth gap, because it's a cute design detail, but also to act as a "flaw" to contrast with Daring. Daring's primary physical trait is his ungodly perfect teeth, so I thought it'd be fun to give her an "imperfect" trait, like Dexter and his glasses. There's nothing actually wrong with them, but it's a failure to reach the insane expectations that the Charming family has cultivated over the generations. Basically the Charmings are petty and I feel bad for the youngest generation.

-Speaking of concealment! There are a couple bits that I thought would be fun to hide throughout her outfit. First, the skirt is flowy enough and the shirt is positioned just right so that you can't tell, but she has pieces of leather armor on at all times. She saves the plates for wonderland. She also wears gloves to hide the callouses on her fingers from swordfighting! She also probably keeps knives in her hair somewhere. Pulling a small switchblade out of the base of her bun just seems like something she would do

-Final thing, I gave her a scar! From what I can tell, she's always been very rough-and-tumble, so I gave her a scar over her brow. She likes to pretend it's from a Mysterious Incident to mess with her friends, but really she was wrestling Daring when they were like, 4 and 6, and she bonked her face into a table. She got over it real fast, but Daring got a long lecture about it, and that's when he started getting over-protective about her

This is a little bit different than the kind of content I’ve been putting out, but as someone who is very invested in Pokémon design, I have a lot of opinions.

First off, I believe the sentiment behind this picture is that old fighting types are good and new fighting types are bad. So going off of that, I have to say I disagree. The Gen 1 fighting-types all fall under the umbrella of “martial artists” in some way, shape, or form. However, there are some traits from the Gen 1 fighting types that carry over to the newer, “bad”, fighting types.

First is aggression, exemplified perfectly by Primeape. Most of the new gen fighting types pictured are designed around the fact that they are aggressive. Past paradox Pokémon like Slither Wing and Great Tusk are known to be dangerous and their aggressive behavior is THE REASON we have to shut down the Time Machine in Area Zero. Paldean Tauros is pretty self explanatory especially if you have had to deal with them charging you in the overworld. Even many fighting type specialists portray aggression in their facial expressions and posing.

Another trait that fighting types embody is physical strength and athleticism. Machamp embodies this, as well as other fighting types like Buzzwole and Passimian. Even Meloetta’s pirouette forme and Hisuian Liligant gain the fighting type even though their inspiration comes from dance!

Finally, we have the oddballs like Flamigo and Keldeo. Understanding their inspiration and lore will explain the typing for you! Flamigo, for example, live in flocks that synchronize their fighting moves to attack other Pokémon in the wild. A large part of their lore is the way they fight so fighting type makes sense. Keldeo, along with the other swords of Justice, are based off of the Three Musketeers with Keldeo representing the young fourth member, D’Artagnan. Much like Zacian and Sirfetch’d, the fighting type is derived from the Pokémon’s association with a weapon and it’s status as a type of defender.

So while I understand that current fighting types don’t always fit the “humanoid punching guy” archetype, it doesn’t have to. Also, Breloom is a fighting type but I don’t see anyone raising any eyebrows at that thing.

#pokemon #pokemon scarlet #fighting type #zacian #hitmonchan #hitmonlee #machamp #primeape #poliwrath #great tusk #flamigo #keldeo #passimian #slither wing #tauros #liligant #meloetta #buzzwole #Sirfetch’d

Miraculous Ladybug Persona AU because why not!

Marinette

Associated Arcana: Fool (cuz duh), Justice (her main arcana when it's not fool), Magician? (she's good at arts and crafts, I guess)

Initial Persona: Joan of Arc (hands down, her persona, no argument)

Adrien

Associated Arcana: Emperor? (like reversed Emperor where he has no control over his life), Empress? (like reversed empress where he stopped enjoying life kind of and also cuz he's girl coded), Moon (me on my "Adrien's true self is himself and Chat Noir" bs), Magician? (he's good at stuff???)

Initial Persona: Petit Prince (apparently Adrien's story is based on this one)

Alya

Associated Arcana: High Pristess (cuz High Pristess is all about listening to your inner voice and Alya's biggest character moments are listening to her conscious and acting on that), Justice (the whole reason she's a journalist)

Initial Persona: Josephine Baker (I kinda struggled with this one cuz Google dosen't make it easy to research Martinique and I didn't want to do something lame like "Renard the fox lol". I typed up "black woman spy" into Google [because Alya's other story is being Marinette's best friend which is lame] and Josephine was the first French result I got. She was the first black woman movie star and she also spied on the Axis powers for France during WW2. France also gave her the title "Creole Goddess" which scares me)

Chloe

Associated Arcana: Devil (this is what Astruc would give her lol. It also fits cuz Devil is giving in to your vices and Chloe can't stop doing that), Lovers (cuz it'sabout making a choice between two options and aticking with that and Chloe does that both times she's the big bad of the episode), Empress (cuz Chloe is rich and enjoys her life I guess)

Initial Persona: Marie Antoinette (cuz I am 99% Chloe is based on her and it kinda for a meta perspective on Chloes story where she is the scape goat for even worse villains)

Nino

Associated Arcana: Emperor (he's the leader of the resistance i guess), Heriophant? (he gives good advice like 3 times in the series?) , Chariot (the lame answer: he shares character traits with Chie and Ryuji)

Initial Persona: Alexandre Dumas (I was drawing blanks again cuz Nino's only story [outside of being Adrien's best friend] is the resistance stuff so I looked up black people in the French revolution and this the guy I got. Fun fact, he's the father of the guy who wrote three musketeers apparently, I was really not expecting that)

Luka

Associated Arcana: Heriophant (fits it better than Nino), High Pristress (I still think Alya fits this arcana but Luka is rolling in this cards symbolisim with listening to people's inner music and having the miraculous of Intuition)

Initial Persona: Orpheus (cuz Im lame. Marinette is his Eurydice cuz she left him)

Kagami

Associated Arcana: I have no freaking clue this time Magician?????

Initial Persona: Tomoe (cuz Im lame and it's her mom's name)

Lila

Associated Arcana: Moon (cuz what the heck else would she even have? Jester???)

Initial Persona: Coco Chanel (because eff that nazi spy. And it futhers the duality thing that Alya and Lila used to have before they retconed Lila)

Felix

Associated Arcana: Justice (he's a crazy justice boy you cant convince me otherwise)

Initial Persona: Loki (WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE)

EASTERN ZODIAC: goat™ / ...vintage hermès by jean paul goatier

a girl is nothing until she is everything. adopted and raised by the shabiru clan. was found on a rainy winter morning, with no name. but that's not her tale. not the one she tells nor the one that reverberates in the mouths of all those who know her. if you ask akane, she'll tell you that she comes from a family of former geishas, each one lined up like precious pearls around the necks of japan's most eminent individuals. they danced for emperors, kings and queens, between the offerings and banquets, divine and unattainable, fated to be remembered.

elegance is her first language. they knew it from the start — how she kept her back straight and perfectly positioned her hands, even as a child. 'she could be something deadly', they whispered. 'but she'll also be something beautiful.' she was taught how to hold a blade in one hand and a book of poems in the other, used of course as a counterbalance, for both were of equal use when wielded correctly. when the rest of the nins went to sleep, she danced, painted and played an array of instruments, each one more complicated than the last.

when they speak of salome, tell them she wasn't always like this. she never found a mother in any of the women of the shabiru clan, but she loved and was beloved, truly, irreversibly, and madly, by one of their former geishas — thus akane even served as a maiko by this woman's side. greatly favoured by the aforementioned geisha, akane was weaned on attention and grew up to be rather competitive and emulous, yet in spite of her cruel ambition, she knew when to show mercy too; perhaps it was an innate trait, or even an echo of her true spirit.

anything that you can do, she can do it better. was an apprentice for four years and made her debut as a geiko upon turning eighteen. if there's one thing that rings true is that she never knew how to concede — she would bite and scratch and walk forward even when her feet and hands were battered and bruised and oozing blood; watch her dance, in a pool of crimson, in a pool of red, until there's nothing left but the emptiness.

a rose flung into a room, all hue and scent. she's held her tenure for almost eleven years now, and during this time, she's managed to reach the very top of the ladder. at least in terms of her profession. now, she dances and smiles, points a finger at any traitorous man, amating them with an idle laugh. watch her give contour and grace and style to discord and disarray. between heaven and abyss, only she exists.

TRIVIA.

the closest thing to a celebrity or an idol. is a woman of great prestige. she's well-known and adored by many, but unlike most celebrities, akane, as a geisha, exclusively entertains selected individuals and not the public. army candy of many— but ultimately belongs to no one.

at the moment, she isn't employed at a specific location, but rather can be seen wherever one needs/invites her. it's worth noting that she's quite expensive, high-in-demand and selective. it adds an air of mystery to her persona.

she's had many loyal patrons over the years, some that according to rumors she accepted as lovers, but those are all just speculations. however, there is one theory that could back up this claim — people whisper that a certain design/part of a hotel in the city was modeled after her breasts, especially when you look at it from the side. apparently, an architect fell in love with her and decided to immortalize her in this way. akane never confirmed nor denied it.

lives a very decadent life, greatly due to her patrons. jewelry, expensive materials, lavish food and drinks, she can just glance at it, and they'll get it for her.

notoriously bathes in high-priced wine and sake. not always, and certainly not as often as she tells people, but it's nice to soak in someone's yearly paycheck. i mean what. she does also sell her bath water, so if you don't agree, look the other way.

she performs at weddings, high-end events, holds tea ceremonies, and can be booked privately, be it for more or just one individual.

most notably, akane invented 'the red dance'. it's her own take on the jiuta mai, with some modern influence. it's intricate, thought-provoking and takes months to learn. perfected it by dancing in the rain without getting the lower part of her kimono wet. she's dressed in red from head to toe whenever she performs it.

emulates salome in many aspects. while she is trained and skilled in martial arts, akane much prefers to play the coy part and have others point their blades and bring her body parts of anyone who has wronged her.

at the moment, does mostly spy work and brings information back to the shabiru. her current involvement with them is veiled in a thick layer of secrecy, so unless someone's a member of their clan, they won't know much about her, other than what she wants them to think. this of course, may be subject to change in the future.

stared in a couple of films, at the behest, once again of her patrons. they were mostly minor roles, but after all, it's only another way to gain more notoriety.

whatever hides beneath all these layers of lies could be something ugly, but a journey of self-discovery still awaits her. she wants to believe that she's capable of something more.

PLOTS.

all jumbled up together but here we go i. a person who got to know akane on a deeper level. how and why can definitely be discussed but with them there's no need to perform. she gets to be herself, without all the makeup and lavish kimonos. ii. of course people that she's spying on or trying to get some intel on them. iii. regular clients who always come back, regardless of their reason. perhaps they want to discuss poetry, drink tea, or simply talk about their day. akane will listen as long as she's getting paid. when the cards decline, it's time for you to go. iv. higher-ups who believe that she's on their side or that they can win her over and have her come to their faction. she'd love to see the effort. v. perhaps the greatest sin of all would be to leave this world without having loved. things are already complicated, but why not make it even worse. they can always try, they can always fail. what is it about love that makes it so fatal? vi. some mutual dislike or perhaps it just comes from their side. maybe they're not buying her story fully, so they're trying to find more. vii. listen, she's been everywhere. you're bound to run into her at some point. so there could be people who know her from much earlier times, back when she was just starting out. viii. fans, patrons of her work. love it when things get a little obsessive. ix. someone who got exposed or will be exposed because of her. so much more! i'm always here to entertain crazy ideas.

I remember there being this one commenter on ao3 who would comment on like any story that mentioned Donald Duck just to say things like, “he’s actually badass, you aren’t making him fight enough” or saying that they made him too weak even calling people out if they said wasn’t the best cook. And it’s so weird how when people put him on a pedestal and ignore his flaws they basically end up making him into a different charecter entirely.

none of my friends are quite equipped to handle the breadth of my mind so when I get sent good asks you bet I'm gonna answer them. what follows is a bunch of thoughts about Donald and writing in general and ao3 and idk if they're relevant anymore but i wrote them

dude I'm so scared all the time of mischaracterizing characters to make them fit who I think they're supposed to be like I'm constantly thinking through and double checking that it makes sense for them

because a good interaction with characters that feel like themselves is what I want to read because that's what's good, especially if it sort of plays characters against each other / themselves in a new way. so I'm like ??? when people are so heavy on skewing a character one way or another.

like Donald isn't perfect ig because nobody is but I also don't think he's deeply flawed either but he does have some Character Traits. that you should stick to. he's kind of interesting from a writing standpoint, along with Scrooge in particular and even the triplets, because he's got such a long-standing mythos in Disney and Duckverse history that there is a lot of leeway if you want it.

"would Donald do [x]?" well maybe Donald Duck (dt17) wouldn't but Barks Donald would. or Rosa Donald wouldn't and neither would dt Donald but Italian Donald from x author's run in x year totally would. Paperinik is more likely to act this way than The Three Musketeers Donald.

this is extra complex because you're dealing with cartoon characters who act cartoonishly because they're from the origin of modern cinema and entertainment and they were created for slapstick gags and developed for propaganda. "would Donald respond like [x] or like [y]?" well x is a more slapstick caricature response that emphasizes the lightheartedness of the story and lowers the stakes, while y is a more dramatic action that humanizes him and those around him and ups our investment.

so like. is Donald "badass enough?" I mean dude idk depends on the story depends on the tone depends on the stakes depends on a lot. Donald is super badass (dt17 s1 finale) Donald is a total lame loser (the town where everyone was nice) and I do think you, random ao3 commenter who's being nit picky, need to acknowledge that or you're making him way less interesting than he actually is

also people are so weird on ao3 sometimes I'm sorry. like I'm gonna be honest I have HIGH standards when it comes to fanfiction because I know what I want and I know how I interpret characters and I think I'm right about everything and when people disagree with me which is often (because I accidentally got invested in a children's show which unfortunately leads to a lot of children being involved) I get annoyed and You Know What I Do. I close my ao3 and then I privately tell CycleGirl "you are not going to believe this thing that he would not fucking say" and then she says "that's nice caoimhin lets get you to bed" and it ends

top five doomed mariners go

in order not of significance, but of encounter:

(1) William Bush - the original Doomed Mariner, my copy of Lord Hornblower is still held together with duct tape from chucking the book across the room when I realized Forester was not going to pull a "if there's no body he's not dead" - rather, "if there's no body, it's because he was too close to the ignition point." A character whose defining trait is his devotion is actually something that can be so personal.

(2) James Norrington - the man, the myth, the legend. clearly takes up too much brain space for a [checking notes for comedic effect] antagonist secondary character from a twenty-year-old theme park ride movie. Hard to say at which point it became clear he'd never survive, but there's definitely a point at which he clearly thinks he's survived too long for anyone's good, least of all his own.

(3) Mr. Starbuck

“On this level, Ahab’s hammock swings within; his head this way. A touch, and Starbuck may survive to hug his wife and child again.—Oh Mary! Mary!—boy! boy! boy!—But if I wake thee not to death, old man, who can tell to what unsounded deeps Starbuck’s body this day week may sink, with all the crew! Great God, where art Thou? Shall I? shall I?—The wind has gone down and shifted, sir; the fore and main topsails are reefed and set; she heads her course.” “Stern all! Oh Moby Dick, I clutch thy heart at last!” Such were the sounds that now came hurtling from out the old man’s tormented sleep, as if Starbuck’s voice had caused the long dumb dream to speak. The yet levelled musket shook like a drunkard’s arm against the panel; Starbuck seemed wrestling with an angel; but turning from the door, he placed the death-tube in its rack, and left the place. (123: The Musket)

(4) Eyk Larsen - doomed by Netflix more than his own foibles, though that's not for lack of trying on his foibles' part. Even the men on his crew that like him are waiting for him to snap under the strain of his bereavement, alcoholism, and the demands of the new shipping company's changes (and the sudden appearance/disappearance of a ghost ship. and inexplicable deaths. and seeing things. and and and). Doesn't make it three whole scenes before staring moodily into the deeps of the Atlantic, musing on the impossibility of knowing what lives on the floor thousands of feet below. Kind of deserved that mutiny. Didn't exactly die in 1899, but. Well. Like his relationship with Maura, it was complicated.

(5) Bill Malloy - He never learned how to swim, he put together The Big Secret about the manslaughter trial quicker than any other uninvolved character, he's been in love with and trailing a respectful step behind Liz Collins Stoddard for 20+ years to no avail (but, hey, Carolyn says he's as good as her father, which?), and he's not the most helpful ghost but he is having a little too much fun getting revenge for his murder - did we ever hear him laugh when he was alive? I suppose we have to subtract some points for him never spending any time on a boat within the scope of the narrative, but then, he IS trying to go back to his job on the boats - and no one else on this list sings "What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?". I'm pretty sure the narrative is through with him now, alas. He'll always be famous to me.

#i feel like a heel picking five.#honorary mention to daniel gregg. who's not so much doomed as. hmm. doomed implies a downward trajectory. he's already dead.#then again. things can get worse. even for ghosts.#also. Quint. god. he can't knock anyone off this list atm but this is a Sign to go watch the Indianapolis monologue RIGHT NOW. do it.#ask meme #polkaknox talks #thank you for the ask kind friend!

@queerplatonic-msr : In answer to your question about the state of Sui's gender in Natsuki Takaya's "In Such A Small World" Manga Mogura on Twitter has confirmed that the first two chapters do not reveal any gender information, and that Takaya-sensei is most likely keeping things vague deliberately. The sources that have gendered the main character are most likely Machine Translation or people with an ingrained bias where they assume that the character must be female because why would Takaya write a story any other way?

[Text: Tweets from @ MangaMoguraRE "I have now read the first two chapters of Natsuki Takaya's new series & could not find a specific mention or confirmation of Sui's gender. Maybe I missed it. The only indication I saw is a panel in which the character wears a male school uniform in a flashback whatever its worth." ]

Whilst I cannot read Japanese myself, I have looked over the free chapters on Manga Park and I cannot see any visual clues as to the character's gender. (The chapter that has them in a school uniform is not available for free) In fact, I would say that visually, Sei reminds me most of Momiji! Who is, of course, a Cis Male.

^ Sui in Chapter 1

^ Momiji in Three Musketeers Part 2

In my mind, whilst Takaya has before always drifted towards gender essentialism, she has been known to play around with gender. And after making Hajime/Mustuki defacto Canon I can see her wanting to explore more explicitly queer content.

Time will tell, of course, but I do feel far more confident describing Sui as Non-Binary/X-Gendered rather than Female or Male. Whilst Japanese does lend itself to not having any Gendered pronouns, it is still strange to not have any other clues. Especially since we know that Sensei likes to use personal pronouns for character traits (e.g. Yuki using the hyper masculine "ore")

It's been pointed that that on Manga Park, BL series are marked as such whilst this is simply marked as shojo. However, I don't know if they would do the same for a Non-Binary AFAB character, or any Non-Binary character for that matter.

As I said, time will tell and hopefully we will be able to get an English Release for us all to enjoy!

I have mentioned the censorship of Sistermon Noir at length before, but cards featuring her are actually not the only ones that got censored.

Both Deputymon (jap. Revolvermon) and Gundramon from BT6 had their cards censored to an extend. In Deputymon's case the smoking gun had its smoke removed, while Gundramon both had the smoking gun's smoke as well as the bullet hole removed.

Deputymon BT6-060 by kaz from BT-06 Booster Double Diamond

Gundramon BT6-065 by Tonamikanji from BT-06 Booster Double Diamond

Interestingly though, in the Full Art reprint of Gundramon that was included in the Digimon Card Game Deck Box Set Beelzemon, did not recieve any censoring.

Gundramon BT6-065 Full Art by Tonamikanji from the Digimon Card Game Deck Box Set Beelzemon

I know that for children media, there's an important difference between "cartoon violence" and realistic violence. This could, for example, make Beelzemon's Blaster Gun okay, but not Deputymon's because it's just a straight-up real revolver. So I wonder if they later decided not to censor guns at all or if they decided Gundramon's gun is cartoonish enough after all to pass.

Whiskey Bottles & Wild Flowers: Duckie

Baylie ‘Duckie’ Pruitt was a very thoughtful, imaginative, and an overachiever child, and these traits only grew with age. If Duckie thought of something and wanted it enough she would make it happen. She was a hard worker, stubborn as hell, and wasn’t the most graceful child, always getting hurt one way or another. Throughout her younger years, the Pruitt family had to make trips to the hospital to help reset one or more of Duckie’s broken fingers.

Duckie was an overachiever from an early age too. She was the only child in her school to read 1,000 books in one year, which awarded her an award and metal. Of course Leo and Cricket had made fun little quips about her reading so many books between the trouble they caused together. Duckie also helped start three charities at her school and still donated to them every year. As did her family and the Wolfe’s, proud of their daughter and family friend.

Growing up in the middle of BFE, there wasn’t a lot to do during the long summer days when it was too hot to do any ranch work. So the Three Musketeers would go down to the Walnut tree between the two families’ lands and by a creek bed, hammers in hands,smash the walnuts for a snack or for fun, then afterwards jump into the nearby creek to wash off the juice.

Another fun little memory was during the summer that the girls’ turned eleven and saw The Amazing Spider-Man for the first time at Leo’s house at a sleepover. A week after, when they all were hanging out in the barn, Bay had gotten bit by a spider! Of course, them being children, had convinced their minds that Duckie would be Spider-Man (or Spider-Girl) by the next day just like the movie. Leo and Cricket argued who would be ‘Uncle Ben’ and ‘Aunt May’ to Bay, even though neither wanted to die the tragic ways the characters did. So when it was a couple weeks later and still no powers (they tried) like Peter Parker, they sadly gave up that dream.

It was weird in high school, between the obvious love that her sister and best friend had for each other, the hard AP classes she took,the Volleyball team, and ranch work. It was a lot of work to stay afloat with all of the activities each one of the friends did, but they all made it work. Duckie graduated in the top five students and could attend any schools she wanted to, if she pleased. After school, the Pruitt girls just wanted to stay home and help around the ranch, but also wanted a job off of the ranch too. Duckie took classes in high school that counted as college credits, so that helped shave off years on her nursing schooling. After four years she had accomplished her nursing degree and worked for the city’s hospital.

Duckie was devastated when she heard that her parents were taking their letters they’d written to Leo. She didn’t know if they read them or not, but if they did, they wouldn’t be surprised about the contents (being for Leo to finally man up and say something to Cricket). It was still her private conversation to Leo thought. Duckie forgave him quickly afterwards, she doesn’t really hold grudges for long. When she met his pilot thought, that was a different type of grudge. Duckie didn’t hate him, per say, but she didn’t exactly like him either. The man had a big head, and who wouldn’t with the callsign ‘Hollywood’.

Rick would flirt with Duckie non stop every time they were near each other, and Bay didn’t like it. She would NOT be one of his belt buckle notches, that was for damn sure. He slowly realized that maybe she was different than the other women he had success with. He tried a different tactic and after a while won her heart. Rick was usually the one to intimate hugs or kisses in other relationships, but didn’t want to go too fast with Duckie. It was a surprise to both of them that day in the woods when Duckie grabbed his face and kissed him. After dinner, Rick went to the Pruitt’s ranch and officially asked Duckie to be his girlfriend, which after she cracked a joke said yes.

They kept it a secret for a while before telling the others, Rick and Duck both knew that Knuckles, Leo, and Cricket would have their asses. Cricket didn’t really trust Rick’s intentions with her sister. Leo knew Rick and what he did with his conquests, and didn’t want Rick hurting Leo’s ‘sister’. As for Knuckles, he just didn’t like any of his sisters’ boyfriends. Beau & Katherine were over the moon that Duckie had finally introduced them to one of her boyfriends and that they just adored Rick from their first meetings.

When Leo and Cricket went of their first official date, Duckie and Rick helped out with everything. From the flowers, reservations at the restaurant, to the clothes, and hair styles. Afterwards, they went out too, on their own little adventure to get to know one another more. It ended pretty early when Duckie got a phone call from a crying Cricket. When Duck got home she held Cricket as she vented about how awful the night was to Duckie and the dogs. The next day, when Duck went to see Rick, she found out that the Flyboys had left without telling their girls.

This information made the girls upset, mostly Duckie. How could that egotistical bastard just up and leave without telling her? Of course he’d do that, she’s known from the start what kind of man he is. Leo had told her his buddy’s history and his tricks. She was mad, no doubt, but she could tell that he’d changed for her, in little ways. So it didn’t take much convincing for Duckie to take a trip to San Diego, it was Cricket that needed to be reasoned with. She was packed and plane ticket paid for within three days, while it took Cricket to change her mind. Duckie wanted nothing more than to see her boyfriend and kick his ass for leaving suddenly.

Once they left the airport in their destination, the sisters rented a truck and drove to fighter town to see their flyboys. First stop being Leo’s, where the two dumb lovebirds reunited and forgave each other, then Duckie took the truck and arrived at Rick’s off-base apartment. The weeks they spent together went by fast being held in each others arms, but the girls had to go back to their ranch and jobs.

Duckie was devastated when she had to leave, but started to plan her and Cricket’s next visit soon after. Work days were often boring and slow, occasionally someone with an interesting case would show up and bring smiles to the nurse and doctor’s faces at how ridiculous the patients’ story was. After shift, she would call Rick (at a decent hour) and tell him about her patients of the day, unless she was working at the ranch, then tell him about the trouble she and Cricket got into. The phone calls were always filled with laughter and smiles on either side as stories were shared and ‘I love yous’ told in between. Jack and Bush often said their ‘hellos’ too.

When Rick and Leo had asked the girls to move in with them, Duckie had jumped at the idea! Within a couple of weeks, Duckie was packed and put her three weeks into work. Cricket took less time, but didn’t want to leave without her sister, so she waited for Duckie. When they drove the thousands of miles to their new homes, it was sad for both girls to not be with each other every second of every day, like they had been able to back home. Day by day, it got easier for them, but it still took a while for them to get used to it just being themselves and their boyfriends. Cricket took a job at the bar, the O Club and Duck went to work at the hospital.

After a couple of years together, Rick, Leo, and the girls had made a surprise trip to the Pruitt’s ranch. The girls were oblivious about the real reason for the visit, but a month later when Rick proposed to Duckie, it was pretty easy to guess. At the wedding, Duckie’s Maid of Honor was of course Cricket, and her Bride’s Maids were Quinn (Wolfe) Henderson and Rebecca Wolfe. As it was said before, Rick didn’t have the best relationships with his family. It’s been years since he’s seen or talked to someone sharing his last name, he refuses too. For his guests, it was just his aviator friends and their wives or husbands and all of Duckie’s family and friends.

The wedding was beautiful, with a color palette of peach, sage, and gold. Her dress was lace, tight to the skin, off the shoulders sleeves, and a sweetheart neckline. The bouquets were peach roses with succulents and gold ribbon tied in a bow around the stems. The bride’s maids’ dresses were peach with an accent of gold somewhere on their person. The men wore light grey suits with a white dress shirt, and sage green tie. Their boutonnieres were a single peach flower with small succulents accompanied by it.

The church was beautiful, behind the alter was a stain glass window telling one of the many stories from the Bible, the Minister’s voice boomed with the microphone he held and the speakers around the room caught every crisp word spoken as the couple said their vows and ‘I Do’s’. The reception was equally as beautiful as the church, colored in the same color palette and natural light streaming in from the ceiling to wall windows. The cake was tall to be able to feed all of the guests, and had more than one flavor (because the newly weds couldn’t just pick one).

The best part of the night was when Duckie threw the bouquet and Chatterbox caught it. Duck doesn’t think she’s ever laughed as hard as she did when Leo chased his little sister around, trying to grab the flowers from her. He kept saying, ‘Not while I’m still kickin’ is my kid sister getting married before me!’ Becca would dodge and weave between guests as she ran to their parents to hide and tattle. It was nothing but what she imagined her wedding to look like, and couldn’t be more happy with all of the decorations, cake, and other things that could’ve just as likely gone wrong.

Duckie and Rick’s first dance started out slow, before another song was remixed into it and the couple did a dance that would put every other wedding that year to shame. When it was time for the father-daughter dance, it was filled with whispers and tears. The song captured their relationship perfectly and you could tell by just listening to the lyrics. Since Rick didn’t have any family come for him, Katherine and Ruth came up to him for his mother son dance.

Both women saw him as a son since the first day they met him and wouldn’t change that for the world. When both dances were done, Leo clapped Rick’s shoulders and said, ‘Welcome to the family, you can’t leave now’ but Rick would never dream of it, he left the love that each family held for each and every member and was happy to be able to be apart of that now and forever. Even if in a couple of months he’d also be related to his back-seater by marriage and have to see his ugly mug every holiday instead of just on base.

It was a few years later that Rick and Duckie had kids of their own, Amelia Jean and Addison Kate Neven. Amelia was born a year and a half before Addison, not wanting to go through the hardships of what her parents did with Cricket and herself. Duckie and Pretty Boy thought hard and long for the perfect names for their gorgeous daughters, and kept them a secret for the whole pregnancy until the delivery.

Duckie was adamant about no one but Rick in the delivery room until afterwards, and when the Wolfe and Pruitt clan could heard those strong lungs scream, they all felt unremarkable joy! After the nurses cleaned and printed the newborn babe, Rick called in the first two to meet the new addition to the family. Leo was first inside the door, his new wife, Cricket, a close second behind tears already in the waterline of her blue eyes.

Duckie smiled tiredly, ‘Crick, Leo, meet your niece, Amelia Jean Neven. Cricket, do you remember our pact from when we were kids?’ Cricket smiled softly, ‘yea, when we have kids, we would name them after the first letter of our sister’s names. So, Amelia, the A’s-the A’s for me?’ The small nod from the exhausted Duckie was all the confirmation Cricket needed to jump up and hug both new parents.

When the second little bundle of joy came into the world, it had been a little bit different this time. Duckie had some complications during the natural birth, so they had to give her a C-section. After the anesthesia had worn off, Rick called for the two best friends again first. Leo and Cricket huddled into the room and crowded the baby, cooing and making faces at her.

‘Do you wanna know your new niece’s name?’ Of course that got an excited head nod from them, ‘Ok, say hello to Leandra Hayes Neven!’ Leo’s eyes got wide and he started to cry, swiftly going in to hug Duckie and Rick, with giant smiles on their faces, but Cricket held back her smirk. ‘For realzies though, meet Addison Kate!’

bio.

[ tw: parental death. ]

the stars aligned in cornwall, england when magical father, benjamin and muggle mother, iris, welcomed sybill, forming the three musketeers. the family was tight knit and supportive of one another. she and her father were particularly close, a glorified daddy’s girl. iris loved seeing the two of them grow close as she had never had a father figure of her own.

sybill was strongly encouraged her to explore her abilities. it wasn't since her great-great-grandmother, cassandra, that anyone had shown signs of having visions and being a seer. they had always told her that the truth laid within her and facts are what the world saw, both of which she needed to believe in. it was a hard concept for her to grasp due to the fact that she lived in her own head, but sybill listened. she would go to work with benjamin at the cornwall library and read books on books learning all she could about the muggle world. there she was, teaching herself before ever going to school. she longed to learn and her parents nurtured her desire. but the one day she didn’t go to the library, tragedy hit.

sybill was nine years old. sybill had her first vision. benjamin died. sybill stood still, her voice dropped octaves, and she said her benjamin wasn’t coming home. she didn’t remember saying anything but she could recall an empty feeling. a blank feeling came over her and like something had been ripped from her chest. once she came to, she was ice cold and shivering. her vision didn’t show her what exactly happened. all she knew is he was there and then BAM. no more. his earthly presence was gone. this vision, her first, terrified her. she didn’t want this gift if it was going to show her things like that. for a brief moment, sybill actually had the thought that if he died, she should have died with him. he was her rock and she, his. her only way to understand death was through her first vision. iris stood up to the plate, not to replace her father but to be a strong parent. she didn’t know how to help foster her daughter’s gift, but told sybill that her father would be proud of her for continuing the line in their family. he wouldn’t want her to give up. -- this stuck with sybill because she knew her mother was right. she fought to never give it up in her father’s name: trelawney.

when sybill’s letter from hogwarts came it was bittersweet. it was something she had been waiting for since she could breathe but her father wasn’t there to hug in celebration and to see her off. at king’s cross iris held her still tiny sybill just a little more and sniffled, slipping something into the young girl’s bag. “you almost forgot this.” it was the copy of winnie the pooh benjamin had given to sybill as a gift, one of her prized possessions. she reached out and hugged iris a little tighter with tears in her eyes. the time had come to get on the train for the first time, get on the boats and enter the dining hall for the first time. and, finally, to be sorted.

it was no surprise that the self-educating sybill was sorted into ravenclaw, where the mind was most valued -- and benjamin’s old stomping grounds. she sat at the table with her back straight, head held high, smile on her face and with pride. she was where she was supposed to be. the sorting felt like it was a sign that she could, indeed, live in both the worlds her parents described and she did so to the best of her abilities. later that night she wrote an owl home to her mother to tell her how she felt that things were going to be fantastic, that it felt right and that she loved her. this would become a routine each night before bed.

sybill loved being at hogwarts though she did have trouble fitting in. she wasn’t entirely shocked by that. she always knew she was different, but not that different. It wasn’t easy to make friends, but she saw the best in people, always spoke up and never let a sad face be alone. she knew sadness and didn’t want that for another soul, no matter the circumstance. however, because of her desire to fit in, she did something questionable her fifth year. the biggest thing she was ashamed of.

the other students knew she was highly adept in divination and was a seer; it was something she was proud of and didn’t see a reason to hide it. there was this first person to come to her and asked what she saw in their future. sybill to seize up and had to make a quick decision. yes or no. she chose yes. after that one person, word got around and people came to sybill as though they’d been friends for years. after some time, she had to begin lying. she couldn’t read everyone’s cards or tea leaves and she certainly wasn’t having visions for anyone. over that summer she made the decision that she wasn’t going to do it anymore. it was against her moral code. she was livid with herself that she did it in the first place, all to get attention. after telling people no it was no surprise that those people drifted away as quickly as they came. it broke sybill’s heart but deep down she knew why they’d been there in the first place -- and it wasn’t for her. from then on out, sybill’s compass was where she followed.

the years passed and sybill began growing into a young woman, she looked around her and saw that fellow students were seriously dating and some were even getting betrothed -- already. she couldn’t believe it. all sybill wanted was to continue learning, cultivate her arts of divination, astronomy and herbology. she wanted to discover where she would go with her talents. she wanted to keep learning, to know everything about everything. one field of study wouldn’t be enough for her, leaving her no time for romance -- if anyone even wanted something romantic with her. either way, she was preoccupied. also either way, friendships were the relationships she yearned to see thrive. that’s what she reminded herself anyway.

as the war comes closer to home, she tries to maintain a neutral stance but it’s hard because she’s sybill. she always sticks out because of how she carries herself; head in the clouds and without a care in the world with only one life to live. if her father’s death taught her anything, it was to live each day as though it was the last. he wouldn’t want her wasting it on the chance that something could happen because someday it will, so why fear living? she wasn’t going to live in fear. and she wasn’t going to live in anger or bitterness. her heart was pure. too pure to pick a side in a war that shouldn’t exist. so she wakes up, puts on her dresses, brushes her hair and teeth then sets off for a day full of what? she doesn’t know but is excited to find out.

Video Game Idea - Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Revised Edition Character Bios

Emil is a young boy who lost his parents in the Blood Purge thay occurred in the Port City of Palmacosta. He has a naive personality and an innocence that leads him to believe anything he's told. Generally a coward, he's not successful in anything that requires a great force of will. He possesses a great hatred for Lloyd, the one responsible for killing his parents.

Certain circumstances lead him to swear a contract to protect Marta as a Knight of Ratatosk. As a result, he can call upon the power of the Summon Spirit Ratatosk during battle, which causes him to act as a cruel and unforgiving warrior. It would pain him to see the vast difference between the person he was and the person he's become.

==============================

Marta is a young girl who lost her mother when Lloyd's party sent the Great Tree into chaos two years ago. She has a mysterious jewel known as "Ratatosk's Core" implanted in her forehead. Determined and unafraid to make her voice known, she is not satisfied unless she can think of things in absolutes due to her bad habit of seeing the world in terms of black and white.

She thinks of Emil, who saved her, as a knight in shing armor, and has decided that his typically cowardly and passive attitude are simply modesty that hides his true strength. She hates Colette, who killed her mother, and Lloyd, who attacked Palmacosta.

==============================

A Centurion who accompanies Marta, Tenebrae controls darkness. Though he seems composed and serious, he does have some humanlike traits, including and appreciation for humor. He is also know for making rather "spiteful" comments as well.

==============================

Richter is a young man currently searching for Ratatosk's Core for unknown reasons. Sarcastic to a point, he is relentless in the pursuit of his goal. He meets Emil on his questnto find Ratatosk's Core, and while he's disgusted to see such a cowardly character and passive attitude from him, he puts himself at his service.

Clearly, there must be some reason for this...

==============================

The Centurion who controls water, Aqua's talkative nature clashes with Tenebrae's taciturn demeanor. For reasons only known to her, Aqua sympathies with Richter's situation and has turned against Ratatosk to fight as his side.

==============================

Despite her innocent appearance, Alice possesses an extremely sadistic personality and a desire for power. She leads the Vanguard's combat unit, using the monsters she controls to fight for her.

She too seeks Ratatosk's Core, but doesn't particularly mind if she has to kill Marta, who she hates for reasons unknown, in order to do so.

She is rearly seen without her three most notable monsters, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. All three named after the heroes from the story of the 'Three Musketeers.'

==============================

The leader of thr Vanguard's espionage unit, Decus is madly in love with Alice, following her wherever she goes and willing to do anything for her, even at the expense of his own person. Due to his overly intense personality, this love for the combat unit captain manifests as stalker-like behavior.

His most notably, and infamous, "trademark" is his mail ordered cologne Eau De Seduction, which smells really awful and yet... Decus doesn't seem to think so somehow.

==============================

Colette is the Chosen of Regeneration and was the one who planted the new World Tree alongside Lloyd. As such, this makes Colette either a hero or an enemy to the citizens of the New World. Regardless of how others see her, Colette never gets down and never loses faith in Lloyd. Together, with Lloyd, Colette aims to set the world back on its track toward regeneration.

Currently, she seems to be searching for Lloyd after losing contact with him some time ago. This eventually leads her to Asgard, where she has a chance encounter with two young teenagers...

==============================

Raine was Lloyd and Colette's teacher and is also the older sister of Genis Sage. As a half-elf, life is not easy for Raine. Along with her younger brother, Raine sets out to trynand make the world a better place for half-elves, but when she learns about Lloyd's actions during the Blood Purge in Palmacosta, she decides to track him down.

Despite her occasional pragmatic outlook, Raine is calm, nurturing woman who cares deeply for those around her.

==============================

Genis in Raine's younger brother. As a close friend of Lloyd's, Genis is concerned about his recent actions and is adamant about tracking him down with his sister.

Genis may be young, but he has grown a lot since his last journey with Lloyd and Colette. Genis is feisty and eager to fight and alongside his sister, is a valuable member of any team.

==============================

When it comes to Sheena's assets, there is more than meets the eye. Sheen is the successor to the Chief of Mizuho and, as such, she has a full fleet of ninjas at her command. Sheena is a skilled fighter, as well as a summoner of thr Summon Spirits of the world. Sheens is a bit clumsy and has a fiery temper when she is not getting the respect she deserves.

Like the rest of her friends, Sheena is searching for Lloyd and wonders what has become of him.

==============================

Zelos, like Colette, is a Chosen One from days past. Where Colette is Sylvarant's Chosen, Zelos is the Chosen for Tethe'alla.

Zelos lives a carefree life and rarely takes anything seriously. Zelos has no interest in Emil, but for Marta he will do anything. In the presence of a beautiful lady, his true nature comes out, as he is quite the ladies man.

He also has a younger sister, Seles Wilder, who he cherishes dearly and will protect her at any cost. Zelos is also searching for Lloyd, who he trusts more than anyone, and is willing to defend his friend's good name from those who accuse him.

==============================

Presea may look like a young girl, but her appearance mearly disguises her adult maturity. Presea os currently working for Regal, hoping to rebuild her hometown of Ozette while continuing her work of woodcrafting and making special good luck charms.

Presea eventually comes to Emil and Marta's aid during a desperate time of need and proves to be a literal lifesaver.

==============================

Regal was once falsely imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. Reluctant to break any laws or go against the system, Regal calmly and willfully serve his sentence.

Now a free man and as chairman of the Lorenzo Company, Regal is of high society, yet is uncorrupted by its greed and temptations. Regal's generosity knows no bounds and he is always willing to lend a helping hand.

==============================

Sometime after reuniting the two worlds and helping Colette plant the new World Tree, Lloyd Irving has gone off on a quest to collect Exspheres to ensure that they are never misused again for evil again.

However, Lloyd, in the name of the Church of Martel, is apparently responsible for the Blood Purge that killed many people in Palmacosta and as of now, has not given any explanation or his side of the story.

Currently, he is after the Centurion Cores for some unknown reason, even stealing the Centurion of Light's core in the process. This, along with the fact that he attacked Palmacosta, makes him Emil and Marta's enemy.

The question remains is why he would do such horrible things? Did he really commit these crimes or is there more to the story then Lloyd is willing to let on?
