Hi! I’d like to start with the fact that your writing is PHENOMENAL, the way every first chapter is designed to grab the readers attention, with a mystery or a cozy little opening, establishing where the character is in life and their motives, or a sneak peek at the problem the characters must overcome.
I’m really bad at articulating my thoughts, but ur characters are really well written and I’d like to make more fanart of them, but I’m not quite sure what they look like.
(The only fics of your la that i KNOW you wrote are Unto Dust, and The Comfort of Agony (both of which are really good btw, I also love how you write existing characters, and your portrayal of them(especially Lucy Ann))
Anyway, because there are so many interpretations of species used in TAU, I got a little mixed up on what the non-human characters look like.
Darceus- in Lucy Ann and the Lunch Bunch, there is a Kitsune named Felicity, who is described as “looking a kind of like a human, and kind of like a fox” which my interpretation of is shown below. I forgot that that isn’t typical for kitsune characters in tau (even though she’s the only one since yours) and drew her in a similar way. ( also, are there any distinctive features on her nieces?) btw the LION idea is phenomenal, also do you think she has a mane? They’re fun to draw.
June- how big is she? I assumed she was the size of a human based on her interactions, but then I realized she might be looking down of people because she can fly. But then I remembered that it says she walks around. So then I confused myself. Also, skin tone, hair color/texture, eyes?
Beatrice- SHE IS SO WELL WRITTEN I felt genuinely angry while reading her meeting with Lucy Ann (in a good way) and she seems like someone you would meet in real life, totally obnoxious! Also, I don’t really know how TAU elves usually look so, idk anything about her skin tone or hair or eyes.
Here are pictures of my doodles in case you want to take a look, try to ignore the paper texture please.
Also, an old picture of Felicity:
Sorry if any of this is worded weird, im not that good at talking, but could you please give a solid description of the major/cool characters in Unto Dust?
(And in case I didn’t say it before, the Comfort of Agony is SO WELL WRITTEN there is too much for me to say about it!)
Oh wow, this is all so kind of you to say! Thank you so much - I'm so glad to hear you enjoy my writing, and I love the sketches you've done! You already have a lot of great designs and the characters look super expressive!
It's really exciting to be asked more of what my characters look like and I'll give you the best description I can, but I do want to note I often don't have a clear idea of what my characters look like - I like that writing lets a reader come up with their own spins on what a character looks like! So while I'm adding my own interpretation of my characters here, if you have a different idea you think works better or just looks cooler to you, I say go for it!
I'll organise my thoughts by each character:
Darceus: I was definitely inspired by @feferipeixes' character Felicity to make a kitsune character! I really like the mane idea you have going in your sketches, and female lions do occasionally grow manes! I like the way you've drawn her formal attire, with the nine tails spread out behind her like a sort of cape! You really brought her to life!
I probably still imagine her with a fox's colouration - I liked the lion imagery to evoke the broader facial features and just overall stockier build than an average kitsune.
The nieces: They're probably both young adults of average height. I don't have a clear idea of what they look like, but it might be fun to draw them as a different type or species of fox - silver foxes look really pretty with distinctive markings! They probably have less tails than Darceus, maybe three or so.
June: I definitely had the idea of her being average sized - I think writing it from Lucy Ann's perspective makes her seem taller as a lot of characters have to look down on her (sorry Lucy Ann!). I really like the wings you drew for her! She's a middle-aged lady with a little grey in her red hair, and probably likes wearing a lot of running gear - gotta train for that 10K!
Beatrice: I really like the long ears you've given her, that looks super distinctive! The loose t-shirt is really good. I probably imagine her with more of a pear shaped build with dark brown eyes and hair. If she does magic like in her appearances with Noie I like to think it'd look a lot how Mod V's elf OC Florian does it.
Also I definitely am looking for Lucy Ann to start wearing a glove! I'm not sure whether it would be fun to have it be a red glove to match the rest of her outfit, or if it's black or some other clashing colour to illustrate how she sees it as something unwanted and forced upon her.
That's all I can think of, but if you'd like anything more specific I'd be more than happy to help! Thank you again for this ask and your awesome sketches - if you end up drawing anything else I'd really love to see it!
Have a great day! :D

I can see the Dinner Crew leaning to be both apprehensive and excited whenever Hank pull out anything glittery because that means ether his mom or his sister are involved somehow.
Glitter is the ultimate weapon of all Pines descendants, and those who do not fear it soon come to.

AU where sanji's wanted poster says "only alive" (back in chapter 801) not because of his lineage and affiliation to the germa kingdom but because their a high up perverted sicko who wants him for himself. <<< Something that came up in my thoughts randomly as I was showering lol. No idea what to make of it and it just made miss livejournal's days where there were fandom threads you could deposit prompts on just to get them out there. Sometimes writers would wander and stumble upon one that caught their fancy. Sorry for the rambling, I don't have anyone to share this with. While I'm here though, want to say I love your posts; all the heacanons and lils bits of fics. Always love to find them when wandering through the zosan tag 😊
Omg thank you for the compliment Darling ! It means a lot ✨
There’s something about Sanji’s face and vibe that make men obsessed with him lol. So when everyone sees his bounty poster change they immediately think its either some weird guy that wants to keep him, or a woman who wants to kill him herself. Usopp has money on it being a woman who's disgusted with his reputation, but Nami and Zoro think it's a guy that wants him. Sanji makes jokes about how he wouldn't mind if it was a woman that wanted to have him alive, regardless of the reasoning.
But they end up in an island close to a big marine base and finally meet the man responsible for the 'only alive' title. And it's a totally creepy older man. No one knows exactly how, but he managed to find out about Sanji spending two years on Momoiro Island and it's one of the reasons he's obsessed with him. Sanji is mortified, especially because he brings it up in front of the whole crew and now they all know he cross dressed during his two years away. And this creep keeps going on about how he wishes he was there to see Sanji's beauty and that now he finally has a chance to since he's here at his marine base. No one in the crew makes fun of him or anything, but they all want to see him in a dress now.
Zoro specifically wants to see him in a dress, but he refuses to admit that. He does feel a very particular disgust and animosity towards the marine that wants Sanji so badly, though. And he is not subtle about it at all, so when the fight starts Luffy tells him he can do whatever he wants to the guy (except kill obviously).
(This is so silly and fun I might actually write a real fic about it lol.. Also I've said it once and I'll say it again, don't apologize for the rambles ! the whole reason I started posting on here is because I have no friends who will listen to me. You guys are always welcome to yap at me anytime ! <3 ✨)
