Young Evalyn and her palisman Flapjack. So happy and unaware of the heartbreak coming their way, and how much their actions would someday change two worlds.

This Happiness (Is Hell on Earth) - Read on A03
I actually posted this one shot a couple of weeks ago, but I haven’t had time or energy to draw a title card. Despite the title, this is roughly 8k words of just sibling shenanigans and domestic fluff. 
[Set in a "Hunter stays at the owl house post-Hollow mind/before the day of unity" Au/Canon Divergent. Hunter struggles to sleep in the strange place called the Owl House. Between sleep-talking humans, couch-hogging witches and demons, and an owlbeast curse with no respect for personal space, he could almost miss the solitude of his old bedroom. Almost.] 
Usurp after the cut;
At first she couldn't see anything through the crack of the door as she leaned over King. The room was too dark compared to the hallway. The morning light that leaked through the big colored glass window just caused everything outside of its ring to be further lost in the shadows. But when she reached forward and tentatively pushed the door open the scene began to resolve before her.
"Why is Eda in the owl beast form?" she whispered, one hand coming down on King's shoulder, ready to pull him away if need be. Her other hand clenched around her phone, thankful the camera was still in flash mode. She had her light glyphs now, though, so she wasn't sure why King had asked her to bring it specifically. "Did something weird happen last night?" 
Sure she could be a heavy sleeper, but she wouldn't have slept through any sort of fight or rampage, right? Whatever had happened, the owl beast was now sleeping peacefully in Eda's nest of a bed, nestled down like any sleeping bird with her feathers pooling over the edges of the nest walls and chin resting against her own chest. Her eyes were closed and her face had a peaceful expression.
The little demon gave a snort of poorly repressed laughter, his hands coming up to cover his mouth with a little clink of bones. "You could say that. Look closer."
Luz looked away from the Owl Beast's sleeping face and found... "Is that Hunter!?
"A cloven hand slapped against her leg. 
"Keep it down! At least until you take a photo."
A pair of unmistakable scarred arms, just visible from the elbows down, hung out from underneath the feathers, draping over the lip of the nest like he had been trying to claw his way to an escape before being squashed under the Owl Beast.
"Is he okay?" she asked in a lowered volume, but she was already opening the camera on her phone.
"No!" Hunter's voice was so muffled she could barely hear his shout. One of the arms waved, his hand reaching out blindly. "I am not okay! Get me out of here!"

What was it Tanella Nosa said in episode 1? “We are but playthings of a higher being,” or something like that?
I’m totally fine. Not at all concerned about the crumbling mental state of these children.

Colored the Odalia cover for my tentative Cerements Au. Title is still a big maybe. [More text below the cut]
Not much has been revealed about Oracle magic except that it involves communicating with ghosts and some type of fortune telling, so I’m taking a lot of liberties with both Odalia’s own skills and Oracle magic in general, BUT since at the start of S3 Odalia is spending time “looking after” King and the Collector in the castle the Collector built above the titan’s head, and inside of the titan’s head are all the less-than happy spirits of Golden Guards passed that have been trapped there with no way to reach out, some for hundreds of years (Or maybe they’re just figments of Philip’s rapidly declining mental state but... Psht! I’ll interpret it this way. Ghost canonically exist in the BI so it’s good enough.). I absolutely had to jump on the opportunity to have the guards be major players in the story and get to have their own agency, instead of just being silent witnesses. Odalia and her oracle magic being there was just too perfect, especially since Odalia has a lot of similar character traits with Belos, so she and the guards make for a very interesting cast to mix together, and she makes a very fun character to play in opposition to Belos and his plans and usual manipulations. 
The particular guard with her here is Shepard. The name might change, but I’m planning to have the guards’ names follow hunting, biblical, and witch trial themes. Shepard is the one that first approaches Odalia when he realizes she’s an Oracle magic user and he has a chance at reaching out to the living world, against some of the other Guards’ wishes, and works with her the most directly for most of their storyline. Odalia isn’t particularly interested in the tragic past of the Grimwalkers, but she is certainly willing to try to spin the unique opportunity they present to her advantage, and their goals are somewhat aligned. The book she’s holding is one of Philip’s old journals. Odalia is a lot of things, many of them bad, but it appears she must be very ambitious, stubborn, patient, and clever to have built and managed an entire business and plotted to assist the downfall of her entire society without anyone knowing. Now she’s been given access to Philip’s old records and journals as he created his own unique magic, from the draining spell and sigils to his “fake” staffs and so on. Ultimately, Odalia’s allegiance is to herself, so she’s a fun wild card to hold between the other ‘sides’ and change the tides of the plot.

Test cover and doodles, or something like that, to a TOH AU/Canon Divergent story that’s been bouncing around my head for a couple of weeks. [Info dump after the break]
 I haven’t been able to sketch much lately, so I don’t have much else put down. Title is still up in the air, I have a few I like but haven’t picked one and probably won’t until after the finale airs and I can start pouring concrete. Basically it’s a “if Belos possessed Luz at the end of TtT” canon-divergent story. Designed to be like an entire season launched from there, instead of the remaining two short specials. Be-Luz gains a stalemate in the human realm, but when he leaves through the portal, he offers Hunter the chance to join him so they can “end this together, like how it was meant to be.” Hunter ends up accepting, although he’s terrified and at least a little certain he’s just being taken back to be killed, to try to keep an eye on Belos and hoping that he can somehow find a way to help Luz if the opportunity comes. At the very least, Hunter figures Luz won’t have to be alone for as long as Hunter survives whatever is coming. Belos destroys the portal as they leave, and the Hexide squad, plus Camila and Vee are left trying to find a new way to the Demon Realm.
The plot’s divided into five main storylines, which is a bit much so I need to figure that out; (1)Be-Luz and Hunter, where Belos is trying to regain power in the remaining Isles, mostly by convincing the scattered surviving witches that the Day of Unity draining spell disaster was caused by the Collector and basically uses the fear and chaos to try to build a new cult and army, with lots of flashbacks of Philip’s past and origin as Luz is trapped in his mind and slowly being consumed by it. (2)Camila, Vee, and the Hexside squad trying to find a way back to the demon realm, with lots of badass Camila, and more digging into the workings of different kinds of magic, including Collector magic, how the portals work, and the in between space Luz visits. (3)Odalia and the ghosts of the Golden Guards haunting the titan’s head, which reveals a lot of the earlier days of Belos/Philip in the Isles, along with stuff about how he created his false magic and his work with the Collector. (4) King and the Collector(& Eda and co), I have some idea of what I want, including Titan lore and more about the scrolls, but it depends on what gets revealed about the Collector’s powers and origins so I haven’t set anything too heavy down. (5) Alador and the twins, and a large group of witches and demons that are aware of Belos’s betrayal, working to find a way to fight back against the Collector. The group as a whole presents its own obstacle and danger, as when they discover the return of Belos, (in Luz’s body,) there is divide between those wanting to try to save Luz and those wanting to just kill Belos now, while he is weak. And with Hunter appearing to have returned to his old position of Golden Guard, it’s quickly believed that Hunter betrayed Luz and the Isles. (Just about everyone who knew him for more than a day either left with him or is a puppet, so his return is definitely sketchy.)
Hunter’s weird cloak made more sense with one of the original titles: “Bound in Love and Blood” since the story was focused on blood-family and found-family and obligations vs things done in love. But the story has expanded and the title changed, though that might be used as a chapter title. All designs are just first passes here.
It’s a bit dark and does involve character death and violence, though the plan would be to not stray too far from the show’s levels... we’ll see. I’m not even sure if I’m going to write it or not. It will probably depend on how the finale goes and how inspired I’m feeling & if it completely obliterates the theories I’m using as pillars. And how much time and energy I have. I have 5 other actual AUs, and 1 other canon-divergent that I’ve considered writing, plus some more canon-compliant shorts.

I finally posted another fic to my collection “Promisedland.” This one is about 8k words. It can be read as a standalone or as a ‘next chapter’ to “How to Rest.”
Summary:  Hunter has a panic attack and locks himself in the bathroom, not realizing someone had already been in there brushing their teeth. Amity braids his hair. And Ghost helps.

IDK what exactly cursed-form Lilith destroyed to get her banned from the house, but it’s alright, Hooty will be sure to keep her company with some of her favorite texts until the others can restock on elixirs, or she changes back on her own.

Some theoretical fanart of baby Hunter, before the scars, meeting Belos’s curse form. We’ll probably never know how “old” he was when he first emerged. This was fun to draw, though.

More scraps. Rough sketch to a comic I never finished. Amity is the cat friend. And ghost is always happy to bap around a few ladybugs to keep everyone safe.

[doodle dump continues.] Something from waaaaaay back when the S3 E1 promo poster was first released. I had a few jokes about the potential origins of Hunter’s new haircut. This was part of the Luz one. There’s supposed to be a few more panels to go with the Adventure Time Audio it’s made to match. (I was personally hoping it would be Camila that cut his hair, and the punchline would be her, Luz, Hunter, and Vee still in her early Luz form, all standing in front of a mirror like a family portrait, and after a moment Camila sais “Yeah... I only know one haircut.” )

A collection of pretty old Dragon Shifter ‘verse thoughts. Putting down actual permanent designs for Kirishima, Sero and Kaminari. I hadn’t finished Mina’s, but I haven’t posted in a while so I’ll upload them anyways. Kirishima and Sero are both very large dragons, while Denki is a lightning dragon, which are known for being on the smaller side, so without Mina, -who’s a more normal sized dragon- to balance the group out, the difference is very noticeable. lol.
