I do like the de aged Celine stories were Huntrix realizes that Celine is neurodivergent cause adult Celine is great at masking. I find it a cute way for her and Zoey to bond.
Hi anon!!!
Iād like to imagine that Zoey has the most knowledge on neurodivergence from growing up in the States/Burbank. She not only learned a little in school but she was also just around more people who probably outwardly admitted to being neurodivergent. Meanwhile, Mira and Rumi certainly know neurodivergence exists but they just donāt have the same experiences as Zoey stemming from a more isolated upbringing.
So when Celine has trouble with certain materials, struggles to look people in the eye or struggles with paying attention, Zoey is quick to pick up on what it means and adjust herself. Mira and Rumi would need to be told but they eventually figure it out.
Rumi: Celine? Celine, you need to put on a coat. Itās cold out. We donāt want you to get sick or be chilly.
Celine:ā¦.
Rumi: Iām going to count to 3. 1ā¦.2ā¦.
Celine: Hurts.
Mira: The coat hurts?
Celine: *Nods*
Zoey: OH!
Mira: Yes?
Zoey: Wait, Celine, does the fabric feel bad? Like when it touches your skin do you feel icky?
Celine: Icky?
Zoey: I meanā¦.do you feel like you have ants crawling up you or shiver or want out of it as fast as possible?
Celine: Mmhmm.
Zoey: Ah, okay. Well, Rumi was right about you needing a coat outside, we donāt want you to be cold, so why donāt we look at some other coats for you to wear, okay? We can try to find one with cats on it. Like the ones you drew from France.
dont forget that YOU š«µ are the backbone of this fandom. oh but im not a- DONT CARE. write a bad fic, draw that silly art, make that tumblr post with your headcannon. oh but i have nothing to share- DONT CARE. kudos that fic, write a nice comment, gush in the tags of a reblog.
YOU š«µ ARE CREATING A FANDOM SPACE BY EXISTING AROUND AND ENCOURAGING CONTENT CREATION
If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.
1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.
2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.
3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.
4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.
5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.
Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.
Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.
āOh, Anna. If only there was someone who loved you.ā
Le Bel Dane Sans Merci
Frozen Hades and Persephone AU, because I want to bully @longsightmyth into writing the fic.
Do not edit, crop, or repost on any platform.
More close-ups and discussion under the cut.
Anna, Hans, and Elsaās faces were roughly based on Ruby Stokes, Jack Bandeiras, and Hannah Dodd. Anna ended up looking a bit more like Alysa Liu, which suits me just fine.
Letās talk influences! From the jokey title, you might have guessed that the original inspiration for this was Waterhouseās version of La Belle Dame Sans Merci. I was also heavily inspired by Alphonse Muchaās many illustrations of the Winter. I mixed in a little bit of Hades games designs as well, like the wheat stalks (Demeter) and breastplate (Apollo). The scrolling wave motif is a nod to the Southern Isles. In the Homeric version of the myth, Persephone was gathering flowers before her abduction, among them crocuses, which is perfect for PershephAnna. Her dress is based on the epilogue dress, because the others were too intensely colored for the composition I wanted to make.
If you zoom in, thereās hatch marks everywhere. Sometimes it felt a bit futile because you really cannot see most of them when zoomed out. But in the end Iām glad I did all that because it does add a really lovely texture. It was especially effective on their hair and the pomegranates.
Hansās tunic is, in fact, slit up to his waist. The discord server found this fact very distracting. This is on purpose. Do not ask where the rest of his leg is. Do not ask where the other leg is I didnāt want to deal with it, sue me.
PersephoneAnna has little pointy-toed boots, much to the delight of everyone in the server. Does it make sense for her to have them while wearing a vaguely chiton-esque dress? No. But the boots are load-bearing. The load is my mental health.
This is the most white people Iāve drawn in multiple years. It was quite a challenge to make the two freckled redheads look different enough not to be mistaken for siblings. I hope I succeeded.
Okay, I could go on for days about Interpretations but I do want to let yāall do your own thinking, and Iāve rambled enough.
This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!
Memories echo through her head, colliding in concussive successions through her skull. Lights streak past against a background of some strange conglomeration of absolute darkness and absolute bright. Someone is screaming, sounding far off yet too close at the same time. She doesnāt know how long she remains like this, stuck in this purgatory, until it all falls silent and fades to black.
Carmen blinks awake, head throbbing as she tries opening her eyes. It far too bright, making the haze of her brain all the worse. Eventually she sits up, as the fog finally clears from her mind and she can open her eyes. She lays in a grassy area enclosed on all sides by towering skyscrapers. She gets up, initially struggling as the last of whatever headache had plagued her ebbs away. Carmen starts walking towards the street, uncertain yet lost for other options.
As she wanders down sidewalk after sidewalk, Carmen eventually catches sight of the first familiar thing - or rather person- she had seen since waking: Tigress, seemingly waiting for someone as she leans against a wall. Carmen slowly approaches, careful to avoid detection. She watches as someone comes up to Tigress, exchanging words before the other person walks away again. A short time later Tigress also departs walking towards Carmenās position. She passes by, the brief eye contact they have showing no recognition from Tigress. Confused, Carmen starts tailing the other, until Tigress turns into an alleyway. She speeds up, rushing into the alleyway before narrowly dodging the claws aimed at her face. Carmen turns around to face the attacker, Tigress letting out an irritated growl in response.
āWhat do you want from me? You arenāt civilian, are you?ā
Carmen was taken aback. Was she really not recognised at all? Even through the fragmented remnants of what happened before this, Carmen was certain of one thing.
already this has tags in the notes like ā#anti aiā but... this is just real life with almost everything. this is like grifter 101 please donāt exceptionalize needing to be critical of chatgpt.
Itās also where we get ācon artistā, aka āconfidence artistā. Itās someone who dazzles you with the assurance that they know what they are talking about because they speak with absolute certainty despite not knowing anything. I dare say itās gotten worse with the internet because text and careful/exciting editing makes people seem more confident than before - and if you think youāre immune, you arenāt.
I'm a staunch believer of "if you say it with enough confidence people will believe you." With this principle, I got my mom, for a hot minute, to believe cats were exotherms.
"That's why they're always looking for sunny spots."
