A Million Dreams are keeping me Awake @inkabelledesigns - Tumblr Blog

Introduction Post

Greetings everyone! I'm Kat Alyst (She/They), your resident storyteller fairy. <3 Welcome to my stage! I am an artist of many mediums, including but not limited to: illustration, voice acting, writing, character design, doll customization, photography, and more!

This is my main blog here on Tumblr, where I share all of the things! I reblog posts from friends to share their amazing art, as well as things that pertain to my interests, and art of my own making! I have a strong love of Kirby, Sonic, Bendy, Monster High, and Ever After High in terms of my fandoms. I'm also a really big fan of E.T.A. Hoffmann's book, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, along with the accompanying Nutcracker Ballet.

I'm very big on creating characters and telling stories with them! You'll most likely see a lot of them here. I love my OCs. <3 I have a fairytale inspired story called Chronicles of Equinox, filled with all kinds of fantastical cast members. I also have the Kirby Witch Crafter AU, which combines elements of the games and anime, with a strong focus on Kirby's Epic Yarn. Auran, Loraine, Manny, and Bobbin are all names you'll come to know around here in due time.

Things i love in books!

⊹ When the villain has a point and you catch yourself agreeing before remembering they're the bad guy and it makes you uncomfortable in a good way.

⊹ ࣪Romance that builds so slowly you don't even notice it's happening until suddenly they're standing too close and your heart rate spikes reading it.

⊹ ࣪when a character who's been stoic the whole time finally breaks down and it's only two sentences but it hits like a truckside

⊹ ࣪Characters who show up for one scene, steal the whole chapter, then disappear forever and you think about them for years

⊹ ࣪hyperspecific details that serve no purpose like what someone orders at a restaurant or the exact way they tie their shoes but it makes them feel real

⊹ ࣪When the author clearly did unhinged amounts of research on something tiny and you can TELL they went down a rabbit hole and loved every second

⊹ ࣪found family but it's messy and they argue and sometimes they're bad at it but they keep choosing each other anyway

"The Last Nutcracker" - FAQs post

I've been noticing that a lot of people has been asking me the same things over and over through the years... I guess a FAQ post is in order at this point.

I appreciate people being interested in my story, but after being asked the same question for the 5th time... yeah I can't lie, I'm started to grow a little tired of it pffff.

Reminder that the tags I use for TLN material are: #TLNoriginal (all posts drawn by me, mostly related to the story itself), #TLNfanart (all the fan work I've gotten and shared), #TLNask (all the asks about TLN that I've answered).

Some posts do need to be organized, but you can start from there.

With that said, I'll leave you all to the frequently asked questions.

⚬──────────✧──────────⚬

Q: Where can I read the full TLN comic?

Sadly I have not started the actual comic yet. The story is currently in the draft stage, and I'm trying to decide how to format the comic. Once that has been figured out, I'll start drawing it down properly.

Q: Where can I read the posted comics?

I don't have a specific tag for only the comics, but they are tagged in the general #TLNoriginal tag. You can use this link to see the posts in a chronological order (NOTE: this does not work on the mobile app. You will have to open the link on your browser instead) Do keep in mind that a lot of what has been posted through the years, especially the early posts, are outdated and not canon anymore as I've changed elements of the story since then. So grab the old posts with a pinch of salt.

Q: Do you have voice headcanons for the characters?

- Clara's voice claim is my friend @inkabelledesigns. - Hans used to have a voice claim but I'm looking for someone else instead. He sounds very sweet, slightly on the deep side of the spectrum, and even a hint of tiredness in his voice. Basically a comforting voice to listen to, if that makes sense. Also probably a Canadian accent considering the land he was born in is inspired by Canadian folklore. - Drosselmeyer's voice claim is the same as the Drosselmeyer in the italian dub of "The Nutcracker Prince". It is a little too easy I know, but I really love how he sounds in there and it has been my biggest inspiration for my version of him. - Dragomir, aka the Mouse King, doesn't have a voice claim yet, but I'm heavily considering something on the tone of how Gianni Matragnano does beastly/deep voices (my one point of reference is ZZZ's Romeul, but you can check his other roles for reference too). Although I'm still not sure if I want Dragomir to sound that deep or slightly higher in pitch. For the rest of the cast, I didn't get the chance to think of their voices as I didn't get to elaborate their characters just yet. Aside from Valter having a german accent, but that's all.

Q: What are the age and height of Hans and Clara?

Hans is 27 and 6'5" in both Nutcracker and Human form. Clara is 24 and 5'4".

Q: How do Hans and Clara feel about LGBT+ people?

Hans would feel completely normal and even supportive about it, as in the Doll Kingdom it's not a rarity to see someone identifying themself differently from their appearance or have different preferences than the usual. It is more common with Dolls, but there are some Humans as well. Clara would be a little shocked and confused at first, but with Hans' presence and mindset she quickly warms up to the idea.

Q: What is the deal with Monster Hans?

The answer is a little too long for this post. You can check this ask for the detailed answer.

If you do not see your question answered here, please browse through the #TLNask tag first to see if your question has been answered in the past before you consider asking me something about TLN. Thank you.
