no i don't think those characters are siblings i think they're friends. I don't think that's their mom I actually think she's their friend. I don't think they're related actually I think they're friends with each other.
Calling all writers and readers! We are excited to announce a new event taking place this Summer within the TTS fandom! We hope that you are all as excited as we are to announce the TTS Masquerade Summer 2026!
What is it?
The TTS Masquerade is inspired by the event hosted by @tua-masked-author, a similar event for The Umbrella Academy fandom. The idea is that authors submit works to an anonymous collection on AO3. Readers then have the opportunity to put on their detective hats and submit guesses. Once guesses are collected, all the works will be revealed. Guesses will be tallied and we will share statistics for each submission and reveal who made the most correct guesses!
We would love encourage more interaction between readers and their favourite tts fanfiction authors. We would love to see you all getting out your magnifying glasses and discussing fanfiction within our community. Overall, the event is about having fun and you call follow along by following the '#tts masquerade 2026' tag!
You do not need to have previously uploaded to AO3 to participate and readers are equally important. Even if you just want to read and don't want to guess, we hope that you enjoy the event too!
How does it work?
First, we take submissions from authors who wish to participate in the event. Authors will add their works to our anonymous collection on AO3 for readers to read. This will be accompanied by filling out a submission form so that we can keep track of all submissions. Submissions will not be accepted without the accompanying submission form. A link to each submission with a brief summary will be posted on our Tumblr blog.
Once the submissions period has closed, the guessing period will begin. A list of all participating authors will be published along with the Guess Form. Readers will have the opportunity to submit guesses via the Guess Form. Authors may also participate as readers to try and submit guesses. All readers must only submit one form.
Once the guessing period has finished, the collection will be revealed, therefore, revealing all the authors. We will organise all the information from the Guess Form. Within a few days, we will share statistics for each work and reveal which reader made the most correct guesses.
When will it be held?
The event will run between the 10th of August to the 30th of August. Below is a brief timeline of events. You can click on the dates to see what time they will be for you.
Submissions period: 10th of August at 00:01 UTC until 16th August at 23:59 UTC.
Guessing period: 17th of August at 00:01 UTC until the 27th of August 23:59 UTC.
I'm so excited that I finally got this commission done for @pennumbra and @xannerz!!! They asked for something from the Loyalist AU, essentially where Hector joins Cassandra after she takes the moonstone. It's an AU I like to discuss and think about with them from time to time. I decided on showing how good of a weapon Hector could be in the right hands. I also had a lot of fun designing Cass's armor and a new outfit for Hector.
I'm so sorry this took so long. I just fell behind on things, then I when I finally got back to this, I scrapped it and and redid it. I definitely think it was worth it - this is much funnier. Please accept Hector and Bearcats eating popcorn in the background as my apology.
Summary: Cassandra sits in her tower, waiting for her foes to come to her.
@the-writer1988
She sits in the eye of the storm.
Power flows through her veins, more power than she’s ever known, but she remains perfectly still on a throne she created herself. To anyone watching, she’s the picture of composure. But no one’s around to see her, and her mind is on fire.
She doesn’t eat, or sleep. She’s beyond any of that. All she can do is think. She’s angry, she always is, but that’s for the best because anger keeps her going. Every injustice she remembers, every loved one who betrayed her, they all keep the fire burning. It’s a strange sort of fire; not a warm red but a cool, cold blue. But she likes that. It suits her. It matches her blue hair, the blue of her tower.
Before she took the stone, she’d never have been able to build that tower. She could barely lift her sword after her injury. But the ghost girl had saved her. Trained her. Kept the fire burning when it was in danger of going out. The ghost girl was the only friend she had now; the only one she needed.
At first, the stone had scared her. It had sealed her away in dark armor, eating away at her humanity. But in return, it gave her so much. It gave her the power she needed, a destiny to work towards. It gave her a chance to fight back. A chance at revenge.
The boy had tried to talk her out of it. He’d tried to pour water over her fire, but she hadn’t let him. She’d sent him away before he could do any real damage. Now all she has to do is bide her time. His friends – her old friends – would be arriving soon to rescue him. She reminds herself what they did to her. What they would continue to do to her, if she lets them.
For now, though, her throne room is empty. Nothing but rocks and daggers.
All she needs.
That’s what she tells herself, over and over again.
Sometimes, when she’s alone, she remembers everything she left behind. Her family, her friends, all they did for her. She remembers how much she loved them and her power diminishes. Then, with the ghost girl’s help, she remembers how much they hurt her and she’s back to full strength again, those happy memories burned away.
these are, i think, all the pages in my sketchbook that are predominantly tangled :) ive got a bunch of other pages that have like, some tangled, but i decided to just put the main ones in this dump
unnecessary rambles below the cut c:
1 is the very first page in my sketchbook, the page that i decided to get over my fear of the blank page and just doodle stuff! this was the first time id ever drawn in a sketchbook in my recent memory :)
2 is like the only time ive drawn the entire brotherhood ToT pretty pleased with the layout of that one
3 was done entirely with one purple highlighter and a blue ballpoint pen! im so proud of it i should do more things like that
4 was an attempt at layering pages to make a window effect. wasnt really sure what i was doing haha. the lyrics are from "waving through a window," which i was probably listening to at the time
7 was, in fact, the 1000th time i drew him. yes, i drew him 1000 times, and yes, i kept count. it's a very long story but basically it was a joke competition/bet between me and my best friend that i took seriously. it took two years of hyperfixation to hit the mark haha. im very happy that i hit number 1000 on his birthday, it's like the ultimate tribute loL
9 is a scene from jainp i was writing at the time of drawing that :3
10 is a (dramatized version of a) scene from a fic i really liked. i dont often read fics, but i super loved this one. it's a modern au set during varian's time with the separatists, except rapunzel and co bail him out. "it's never that easy, though, is it?" by V4RI4N on ao3.
11 is some really old art of my jainp kiddos as babies <3 rapunzel takes a polaroid picture with her best friends at the end of every school year since first grade, so theyre like little snapshots of her life :3
12 i wanted to draw big wings. what can i say. i threw in some icarus things because it made it cooler. i drew these on the drive to see wicked on tour!!
something something considering the core of rapunzel's backstory revolves around her being belittled, controlled, and held captive for most of her life, you'd think people would be at least a little 🤏 sympathetic toward cassandra feeling unheard and terrified at the prospect of being sent to a convent against her will something something
