Sirius at Grimmauld Place because he’s only ever really himself when he’s at Hogwarts

And what about Leviticus AU but it’s Kellen x Tennat…

Obsession AU! but Kellen is Nikki, Panahsi is Bear (and give it a darker twist at the end)

listening to spellslinger again.

I think there’s a lot to say about Spellslinger and masculinity. Low-key I think masculinity is a pretty major theme in the series. Like it’s not on the surface, but Kellen’s journey is very much tied to letting go of toxic ideals of masculinity and finding your own path to becoming a man despite it.

crazy, because every decent thing Kellen has learned about being a man has come from a rage baiting lesbian who cheats at cards.

Me: I need to do more design and story work for my OCs

My brain rn: SPELLSLINGER GAME THO

Think about it:

- Open/semi open world but with a storyline following the books

- Able to travel back to the cities/locations previous

- Different weapon and tool options: cards, carath spell, castradazi coins, Shadowblack, Suzy.

- You can unlock doors with the coins

- You have to collect ‘ammo’ (powders, cards) and refill the Shadowblack/Suzy ability meters

- Able to send Reichis away to attack or do tasks, and call him back to your side/shoulder

- You can play as Reichis to disable traps etc

- Dialogue options based off of the different Argosi arts, these determine the outcome of the interaction

- Able to customise Kellens outfits by finding or buying clothes

There’s probably more to add tbh this concept won’t leave me be

My design for Kellen - first book, first half

Second half design (SPOILER WARNING!)

Blabbering about my design choices:

✶ the outfit is inspired by a fanart of the books I saw.

✶ I know, I know, he is described as blond in the books, but when I read them I always imagined him with black hair :') maybe because of the cover? However, I gave him a generally average haircut, because he doesn't really stand out physically.

✶ I did imagine him with blue eyes (which I always imagined as pale) and rather pale skin. I also assumed him to be rather tall (his father is taller then two meters, apparently :') ) and slim, because he is a sickly guy.

✶ Continuing that point, it was said that he worked tirelessly in order to spark his bands. Adding that to him being described as sickly made me give him eyebags and a little bit of a slouch. I never imagined him with a great posture XD

✶ his father is in The Council of Lords Magus, so I assumed his family is a bit rich. Due to that, I gave Kellen nicer clothes with a lot of golden embroidery . I also gave him a small pouch, in which he can store his powders :)

✶ I made this design for the beginning of the first nook, before his shadowblack outbreaks and none of his bands are counterbanded. Simpler times :')

✶ I wanted to make the symbol on the side a seven pointed star, but this is as close as I could find haha

My design for Kellen - first book, second half

Well this took a dark turn

First half design

SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST BOOK!!!

When I read the book, it feels as if it's divided into two parts: before and after his shadowblack outbreaks and he gets most of his bands counterbanded. Between those parts there are 5 days he spends strapped to a table in his dad's room, so I figured he probably spent the second part of the book looking like hell. Poor guy :(

Blabbering about my design choices:

꩜ so I figured that in contrast to his tidy look in the first design, he needs to look REALLY unkempt. I made his hair a lot more messy and messed up the buttons on his shirt. Also, I thought he probably fell a few times, so there is mud on his knees.

꩜ he practically run away from his home the second he could, so I assumed he didn't bring his shoes. As a result, his feet are dirty and a bit bloody.

꩜ he didn't sleep a lot in the five days his father counterbanded his bands, and he understandably cried a lot, so I gave him even worse eye bags then before, and made his eyes red and watery :'(

꩜ he has his shadowblack now! It's in a really early stage, so it's a small spiral near the eye. ꩜ from this point on in the book, he uses his powders, so I made the tips of his fingers stained in black and red. I also kept his pouch, so that he cound store them somewhere.

꩜ it was really important for me to keep the same clothes as in my first design, just ruin them. His white vest is gone and so are his shoes, but he kept the same shirt, pants and fabric piece at the waist/belt

꩜ it's a bit more of a headcanon, but in the second book Shalla tracks him using his blood she found on their father's desk. This made me realize that he probably bled from his arms, and a lot because his father made his counterbands really thick, in order to block his magic for good. In addition to his arms bleeding, I thought he probably didn't want to look at his arms and see the counterbands, so he probably wanted to cover up his forearms. So as a result, he has bloody makeshift bandages on his arms.

꩜ the most important thing for me was to make sure he looks haunted, tense and miserable. It's sad but that's how he feels :(

꩜ the black swirl is supposed to represent the Shadowblack haha

Close ups!

An AO3 skin with some angel vibes

Sorry, my idea of angels mostly comes from Supernatural and way too much Destiel fic, so I hope that’s okay.

here is the code

based on this code and this code

Just to add—English isn’t my first language, and I’m still getting used to Tumblr, so hopefully there aren’t any errors.

I created an AO3 site skin inspired by the Marauder’s Map from the Harry Potter. When you click or hover your mouse near the AO3 logo, the words “Mischief Managed” gradually appear 🧙🏻‍♂️
