I've been rereading bits of TGB (binged the whole thing in 4 days a couple weeks ago) and I have to be the next person to tell you that Caleb is the most endearingly slippery wet rat bastard of a dead man I've ever read. istg I can *hear* his awkward fibbing gesticulations through the page! It's honestly pushed me to trying to write my own fanfiction for this show
Thank you! :DDDD!!!!
I'm rather fond of writing scallywags with a conscience, lol, I'm happy you could see him so clearly in your mind when you were reading! :D What a compliment!
And I'm even happier it inspired you to write something too!
You don't have a soul. You are a soul. What you have is a body. And that body has a record of everything and everyone you've ever been.
May has been a really difficult mental health month for me. An unusual amount of distress, emotional and mental strain, has taken a great toll on me. And, next month, I'm gonna start emdr therapy, and idk how that'll go. But it will take whatever journey it must. I guess it's been a long time coming.
That being said, I've understandably been slowed down in being creative and even online.
I know some people check my blog regularly, and I'm only writing this post to lessen the pressure on myself to stay productive beyond my ability.
I'm still gonna post when I can. I'm still working on IBWR and DownMemoryLane. Im still in the @/toh-cookbook-zine to contribute in that.
But I need to pace it down a bit. I hope I'm not disappointing anyone too much.
Loving yourself, tenderly, also means to accept and forgive yourself for not being up to your own standard.
Guilt and shame for not being enough isn't helpful. You can't do anything with that.
Every age and version of you are still inside of you, watching and listening. Pieces of you that were lost, who still need you to be strong, that wants to hide or be forgotten, or be seen and remembered..
Stare back at your past and let it be. You can't change it, or gain back what you have lost. But you can accept it. You can console and comfort it. The younger versions of you are watching how you treat yourself. Be kind. Let them heal with you.
You can respect yourself by not being so unforgiving.
Be honest with yourself. It's just you and yourself. There's nobody else in your mind or heart. It's okay to be honest, gingerly honest. There are no rules you have to adhere to, no higher moral ground you must appease, hypocrisy doesn't matter in the face of honesty and self-forgiveness.
It's one thing to push yourself to be brave. To do the things that are difficult and hard to do, to build dicipline and motivate yourself forward, to know it's scary and do it anyway.
But it's another entierly to beat yourself down for discovering you have limits.
It's not giving up. It's knowing you did your best, and it's to here but no further. It's okay to grieve that. But you don't have to hurt yourself. You just need more time, if you want to try again. But give yourself time.
To be disappointed that you didn't try your best (honestly) when you know (for real) you could've done better... And being disappointed because you have limits - are different.
How you respond to all of that will shape your internal image of yourself.
You are who you choose to be, even if those choices are conciously made or not.

Controversial headcanon - Evelyn remarries after grieving the loss of Caleb and the trauma of how she lost him. U-U
In my headcanon, maybe 6-7 years after his death she joins a group for people dealing with loss, where she meets Lucifer. Who lost his wife and unbornchild in childbirth.
They bond over losing the love of their youths, and the people they once were with them.
And together, they go from grieving friends to lovers, who understand that you never truly stop loving the person you lost, and with them; the person you used to be, because now youre the version of you who lost soneone important and the world continued moving.
A new life partner that understands you're a new person now because of it, and that there's a life after death.
I get that a lot of people romanticise the relationship between Evelyn and Caleb, so do I at times.
They both "greet" the other's lost spouse and accepted that it's just part of their new partner's history. That they'll always have a reserved spot for that someone. But that it doesn't mean the relationship they have now is any less.
It's just new. Its just a different love, for the person they are now. A companionship just as loving.
But as someone who has lost someone I was romantically fond of, who was a best friend of mine, who may have passed in Covid in a country far far away (I never got news)... I relate to Evelyn the most.
To mourn the budding beginning with someone and have it get cut before it even got to happen. To feel like that someone was your "the one." It will feel like a robbery. Like it can't happen again, it can't be replaced so there can never be anything new to grow in that garden.
But it doesn't have to be the same. It's okay to mourn what didn't get to happen and start over.
It can be different. And it can be lovely.
Life is not some story full of lessons to learn for some greater purpose. And you dont lose important people because there's a reason for you to live through a great loss.
Life isn't a story with plot points. Sometimes shitty things just happen. You do everything right, and it still goes wrong.
if we all waited around for a big great happily ever after to make us feel loved, we'd die waiting. And that's why you need to choose yourself, and happiness beyond a person.
You just lose.
And you sit with it.
Like a limb. You're just an arm less now. And you move on with life with one less arm.
And you can find new things to love.
But that doesn't mean you should get bitter and hate everything you can't do anymore. You learn, and you adjust to how things are now.
The measurement of love isn't whether its forever or not. It can be measured in whether it mattered while it was here. Measured by the love we gave and got, the people we became thanks to that love.
Love isn't always forever. The oldest tale there is, is that somebody has to go first.
Give yourself permission to take the love you experienced, all of it, and take it with you in your heart and let it be the soil where you grow to become yourself.
I'd like for Evelyn to live her life happily and fully, and carry the love she shared with Caleb with her.
But what do think of the hexsqauds time skip designs?? do u think they were accurate? Would you change anything? etc
(I love your art and u are so cool 😻!!)
(Thank you! :D )
I like them! I have some beef with some of the designs, but that's nitpicking. I made an old post about Willow's design, and analysing why I think people had an issue with it. But I think I deleted it??
This was my drawing for it anyway.
Here's all the released conceptual art and ideas for the characters in the epilogue:
FIRST let me establish that (usually) when you want to make a design for a finale, preferably you want the outfit to say as much as possible on its own. It saves time and it is good design. Where and who are they now? So that fans can visually see where their story went.
LUZ:
Personally I think 4 and 8 (minus lipstick) felt more like Luz as we knew her in the show. The purple coat one in the secondary image feels like something a YA novel heroine would start wearing as she grew up, like something she finds on an adventure. Which I feel also suits her, but not as a final epilogue look. Most of these outfits I feel is Luz, but perhaps a wardrobe meant for epilogue episodes, rather than a send-off final hurrah!
The one we wound up with is... Okay! I think it's the pants and the shoes that feels clunky on her, because that's not how we have known her. It kinda has the same visual jumpscare that Willow had. It's unusual shapes on her, so we haven't seen the in-between of how she went from skinny-jeans look to baggy cargo with stitches.
But maybe that was the point? Perhaps they wanted fans to make up the in-between adventures. To me, personally, I think I would've picked 4 or 8. It feels like Luz, but older and wiser, more mature and different. She has changed, but she hasn't lost herself. (as a nod to her mum being worried Luz lost herself at the camp.)
But I'm not actually sure what her final fit says about her or what became of her? She's going to take all the hexside university classes. But I wish her outfit, then, made some homage to the student outfit from the show. In some way. Because she is going forward, still exploring herself.
WILLOW:
Okay so my main issue is mostly - why did they go with her sport outfit? Yes, it tells a story that she continued the sport and became a professional player. So it tells a story!
But I feel like that could've been told with the nr.2 outfit as well, and it's more balanced and refined. Willow is a cutesy girl, and a hardcore musclenut. But, I digress. I feel like Willow has never really had any iconic outfits. Maybe the devil costume? That one was pretty great.
HUNTER:
I actually like his final outfit as is. It tells everything we need to know about his journey in the timejump. He's a palisman carver, he's doing better, he's smiling and stands with a soft confidence he didnt have before. Even the clothes structure tell us he's more relaxed (baggy jeans and shirt) and that he's enjoying life doing crafts like sewing.
Although I do like these other esigns as well, they fit more for episode outfits than a final send-off. I also feel like some of them play on... What I can only describe as.. like.. Tinkerbelle's boyfriend, kinda vibes? Does that make sense? Do you see what I see??? Hunter was a character that was teetering on the bad-boy-turned-love-interest trope in a YA novel. Enemy to lover kinda thing. And if you look at these, do they not throw you into a love interest design more? They kinda do. Which.. we don't need that for Hunter.
But, again, great designs for episodes! I can see him wearing 2 or 4 when hanging out with Willow, and the other ones as everyday clothes.
AMITY:
The final look tells us a lot about who she became! An adventurer, the main character of her own story. She is out there doing her thing. Whatever that thing is!
Me personally though, I'm not totally sold on the final look. But that's a personal preference. if I had been in the room where it was decided, I would have voted for the final one. It tells the most story without any dialogue. Visually it does what it needs.
I just wish it... I wonder how it went from these designs to that one.
These designs I think are great fits for epilogue episodes too tho.
KING & HOOTY:
King is great. 10/10 wouldn't change a thing.
Hooty what the fuck. Take that wig off.
LILITH:
Again, great final design, I would've voted for it too. It says what it needs to say.
I just wish it was something else. Personally I really like number 2 above here, or number 1. But they do lack a bit bamf.. more story. So maybe if these designs had something aditional to them that told us more about what she's been up to in the tmeskip, that would be great.
But, alas, these are episode outfits. Not a final BAAIIII~~!
RAINE:
Honestly I think the one they got is the best one. None of these are doing what it needs to do.
I am also wheezing about the middle one. Emo punk era.
EDA:
The final pirate-y outfit looks cool and slay as hell. again, says and does what it needs to do. I just think number 2, but with a more prominent hook and a cape, would've done it too. Or number 5, but with a longer tail skirt (see 4) and the hook, plus a belt.
But honestly I love her pirate fit. But I am biased towards pirates lol.
Notably Gus and Vee's concept art and ideas hasn't been released. Neither is Camilla's or Darius. It's difficult to have thorough opinions then. But Vee I think is perfect, she's living a human life. And Gus is.. not.. telling me much! I wish I could see the concept art. But hey! Glasses and a new hairstyle! That's something!
I would love to see everyone elses as well. But I do feel like those four particularly must've gotten some attention to them?
Personally I really like concept art designs and outfits. it helps me expand what the visual keys are for the demon-realms world and fashion. It's culture. So the more the better lol.
I hope this is what you were looking for as an answer when you asked <xD
