Deciding to ramble about my toh/amphibia au cause why not :D

This may get long so I'll put a cut here:

OKAY SO It's kinda like a sibling au :D!!

First to talk bout Luz and Marcy:

Marcy is Luz's adopted little sister

Marcy never met Luz's dad

Unfortunately Luz and Marcy kinda encourage each other's bad habits at school so WHOOP. THINK INSIDE BOX CAMP FOR THEM

Yee Luz still follows Owlbert into the Demon Realm and Marcy chases after Luz

Shenanigans ensue (of course) but eventually both Luz and Marcy end up staying with Eda

Luz is a bit protective of Marcy, and Marcy is also protective of Luz but Luz doesn't really know that fgcf

Marcy is in fact involved in a prophecy of sorts... more about that later

Anne and the Plantars:

Anne actually lives with the Plantars! Who live very close to Eda (they talk frequently)

Why does Anne live with the Plantars you ask? Anne's been cursed :((

She got scared of hurting her parents, and the Plantars hearing bout her situation offered for her to stay with them

Anne was obviously scared of that too, but the Plantars pointed out that they're friends with The Owl Lady; she can help Anne deal with her curse

Anne visits the Owl House on Saturdays :D

Sprig and Anne do go to Hexide, both in the bard Coven, I think

Sprig really wants to multitrack

Once the option becomes available, I think Anne will want to too, but she doesn't really consider it at first

Anne and Marcy become bestiesss

Hunter and Sasha:

Sasha's pretty much the scrappy little sister Hunter decided to adopt

Both of them do love each other very much, but unlike Luz and Marcy's obvious bond, Sasha likes to mess with poor Hunter

He likes to follow rules; Sasha does not

So yeah

But at the end of the day they're still siblings, and they often just talk to each other until bed :D

Emperor Belos didn't want to let Sasha into the Emperor's Coven, but finding out Sasha was part of ~the Prophecy~ let her come in

He pretends it's cuz Hunter pleaded though :/

Anyways I really like Hunter and Sasha's bond :D siblings who fight and drive each other crazy but at the end of the day love each other to pieces

I don't know yet how King Andrias comes into play but fgdg we'll see

Lady Olivia, General Yunan, and Grime are all in the Emperor's Coven :0

Anyways yes Marcy, Sasha, and Anne are all involved in a Prophecy that has to do with the Collector... King's involved too...

Something about Luz really wanting to be in a prophecy and then it's actually her little sister

Willow, Gus, and Amity have around the same character arc in this :D

Anne and Marcy are Lumity shippers ghcvdcv

Anyhow, that's all I'll say for now about this au, but maybe I'll add more later :D

#amphibia #the owl house #luz noceda #marcy wu #eda clawthorne #king clawthorne #anne boonchuy #sprig plantar #hunter toh #sasha waybright #willow park #gus porter #amity blight #okay that's all I'll tag for now ghcgd #cow writes #? kinda

Famous Five Art Nostalgia #01 – Part 3

Introductory post

Part 1

Part 2

This is my first post featuring Umberto Nonna's artwork; you can expect more in the future as I currently have 19 out of the 21 books in my possession, and I'll try to get the remaining two!

Nonna illustrated the full Famous Five series that was distributed by the Swiss publisher Edito Service SA Genève*. The books each contained 5 full-page illustrations, either in colour or black-and-white. Unfortunately they're a bit difficult to get flat enough for digitising as the binding is rather stiff, so you might see a blurry strip on the left side of the pictures.

Hope you'll enjoy this new take on our young investigators!

(* I plan to make a post detailing the various editions and publishers now that I have a better grasp of the timeline.)

Five on a Treasure Island – Le Club des Cinq et le trésor de l’île

Original publication date: 1942 (UK), 1962 (France)

(Cover art by Umberto Nonna, 1982)

Plot summary (adapted from Wikipedia):

When siblings Julian, Dick and Anne cannot go for their usual summer holiday to Polseath, they are invited to spend the summer with their Aunt Fanny and Uncle Quentin at their home Kirrin Cottage, in the coastal village of Kirrin. They also meet their cousin Georgina, a surly, difficult girl, who tries hard to live like a boy and only answers to the name George. Despite an uncomfortable start, the cousins become firm friends and George introduces them to her beloved dog Timothy (Timmy), who secretly lives with the fisher boy, Alf, in the village as George's parents will not allow her to keep Timmy. In the middle of Kirrin Bay sits a smallish island that belongs to George’s family. She soon accepts to lead her cousins to the island to show them around and visit the old castle ruins there.

(Uncle Quentin’s cheery morning disposition, particularly when faced with his daughter’s most peculiar ideas)

On their way to Kirrin Island, George shows her cousins a shipwreck, explaining it was her great-great-great grandfather's ship. He had been transporting gold when the ship was wrecked in a storm, but despite divers investigating the wreck, the gold was never found. After visiting the wreck, the five arrive on the Island and are exploring the ruined castle when a huge storm blows up, making it too dangerous for them to return to the mainland. While they take shelter on the island, the sea throws up the old shipwreck, grounding it on the rocks surrounding the island. Excited by these developments, they decide to come back at dawn the next day to investigate the wreck before it is discovered.

(The storm)

The following day, the five visit the wreck and discover the captain's cabin, where they find some objects belonging to George's great-great-great-grandfather, including an old box which they take back to Kirrin Cottage. The box proves difficult to open, so they throw it from the highest window of the house. The box breaks open, but the noise disturbs Uncle Quentin who confiscates the box. Not willing to give up their quest, Julian sneaks into Uncle Quentin's study and takes the box, which contains an old map of Kirrin Castle. Later in the further investigation on the map, the children find a word INGOTS, which they later understand it represents the place in which the lost gold was buried. The children realise it is a treasure map showing the location of the lost gold. After making a tracing of the map and returning the box, they decide to find the gold themselves.

To the children's shock, the box containing the map is sold to an antique collector. The same man also makes an offer to buy Kirrin Island. The children realise he has unearthed the secret map and wants the gold for himself, and so begins a race for the five to get to the gold first. Thinking the children want to spend time at the island before it is sold, Uncle Quentin and Aunt Fanny allow them to go camping there for one week.

(Making plans for a few days’ trip to the island: Julian has already written down “food” and is on to “drinks” - that's the essentials taken care of!)

Arriving on the island, the five start searching the castle ruins to locate the old dungeons where the gold is hidden. Chasing a rabbit, Timmy falls down an old well, from where the children find the dungeon entrance. Exploring underground, they find the gold in a locked vault.

(George can’t believe her eyes upon discovering the gold 😮)

Trouble soon arrives, as bad men come to the island hoping to steal the gold. They capture George and Julian, lock them in the dungeons and ask them to write a note to Anne and Dick up on the surface—a note that will induce those two back down into the dungeons. George writes the letter and Dick finds something fishy about it, as George has signed her name "Georgina", so Dick and Anne decide not to go down. Unable to find those two, the men leave the island, taking the oars from the children's boat so they cannot escape. Dick and Anne use the well shaft to rescue Julian and George from the dungeon, and the children hatch a plan to trap the men when they come back to the island with a boat to steal the gold.

(One of the thieves)

Although the plan goes wrong, the children manage to leave the men stranded on Kirrin Island. They return to the mainland to tell Uncle Quentin, Aunt Fanny and the police what has happened. The gold is recovered, and it is determined that it legally belongs to George's family, making them rich and enabling them to afford everything they have ever wanted. George's only wish is to be allowed to keep Timmy, and her parents agree. George also agrees to go to boarding school with Anne, because she and her cousins have become very good friends and also the school allowed pets.
