I’m not sure how many of yall know or follow but Put Your Arms Around Me, my Epic fic, is due to get an update tomorrow! It’s pretty long but I’m hoping to finish the story completely soon. I hope you all keep reading it, it really gives me the fire to finish. I’m so glad you’ve held on this long.

I want to know your headcannons about Urban Jinn and how different they are from Forest Jinn. After all, Forests had to be cut down before a town could be built on the land.

I have to admit, I don’t have much of a head canon for urban jinn. Because of their strong connection to nature, I don’t think they would like living in a city very much, and as cities grow, they would continue to move farther and farther out.

When Ladydouij and I started talking about the questions though, it seemed reasonable that there could be small communities of jinn living in city parks like Central Park in New York, or community gardening lots. Their influence on the plants there might be part of what entices the stompers to set aside the land in the first place.

Boggans though would love the city. They would be particularly fond of sewers and the dumpsters behind restaurants where all the food is thrown out.

Because the boggans would find such abundant rot and decay in the city, and the jinn aren’t very interested in leaving their green patches, there most likely wouldn’t be much conflict between the two. They would probably be surprised to learn about how things are in places like Moonhaven and think boggans that aggressive are a little bizarre.

((I imagine Jinn and Leafmen to drink primarily tea. It would make a lot of sense since they live in the Forrest with lots of plants that could easily be dried and stored in a pouch to be made later. What are your thoughts on it? ))

The jinn probably have a couple options for drinks, and tea is definitely something they drink a lot (herbal infusions technically, I guess, since they wouldn’t have access to actual tea plants). There are all sorts of herbs, leaves, and plant parts that can be brewed into teas.

There are also some plants that can be ground and roasted then brewed into coffee like drinks (mostly without the caffeine). Ronin likes beech nut coffee, made from roasted and ground beech nuts. Nod thinks this is disgusting.

The jinn can also probably make fruit juices from fruits and berries they harvest, although unpasteurized fruit juice with no preservative doesn’t have a super long shelf life, so the type of juice they have would probably depend on what was in season.

They can probably also make fermented drinks, things like hard ciders, fruit wines, and mead (honey wine). Fermented drinks have the advantage of keeping for a long time (and also all the other advantages and disadvantages that go along with alcoholic beverages).

Here is a very short and incomplete list of possible drink options (as you can see I only got to the ‘d’s, but I think I was using the Taste of the Wild site when I started putting this together a while ago):

American Beech nuts (harvested in fall) – roasted and ground, they can be brewed like coffee (although I don’t think they don’t have any caffeine)

Black Birch twigs (Betula lenta, collected year round) – can be brewed as tea

Black Raspberry leaves (harvested in summer) – can be brewed as tea

Northern White Cedar foliage and bark (Thuja occidentalis, collected year round) – can be brewed as tea – used to treat scurvy, so I’m assuming it’s high in vitamin C

Common Clover / Red Clover (April-Sept) – dried flower heads and leaves can be brewed as a tea

Dandelion roots (collected in fall or early spring) – baked and ground, then seeped to make a coffee-like drink

My dad always told me stories about a hidden world where brave warriors watch over and protect us.

When he’s not being an idiot, he’s a pretty decent flyer. Could be one of the best.

I decided I need to draw some of the other Epic characters! So here, have some Nim Galuu practice. I thought Nim was going to be annoying, but he turned out to be so much fun!!

I don’t really like the one in grey, so I didn’t want to bother giving it full color. *shrug*That one was my very first time drawing him, gimme a break. He’s hard! All round and squishy and huggable…! I’m used to angular things, so he’s good practice.

and I totally just said ‘screw it’ with the coat. So it’s not accurate.

So yeah! Enjoy!

- Wait, what are you-?! - Close your eyes, and just trust me.

aaaah angst, I love you too much not to include you in my au’s

so yeah, the basic idea I had for this scenario was that Eugene got hit by a Boggan arrow. He managed to pull it out with Rapunzel’s help hence the somewhat bloody hands, but after that he was already too weak and the rot was already way into his system to do much of anything else than to just lie there. And thus Rapunzel’s secret is revealed to him.

ever since I set up the basic structure of how this au should go, I figured a change in Punzie’s clothing was in order, so I went with the green outfits from early concept art.
