Is this really new art for the SOTF au? Yes, it is... In any case, I wanted to say that this art is related to the fanfic and that in it, Ima will see similar dreams... In them, a cat will stand on a large rock, but a sea of blood will approach, Ima will think that wings will help...
But this will be the worst decision in these dreams... But I will tell you about this later. I also wanted to say that I made this art using paper, as well as gouache, dry pastels, scissors, and glitter
I’ve been thinking about how beautifully designed the Pocketville Castle is. I like that it combines majesty with fun in a way because it looks imposing, as the home of a monarch should be, yet includes the bright colors often found in castles and palaces from merchandise-driven series and the paw theming that’s prevalent in the In My Pocket series. Not to mention the Magic Fountain in front of it having a unique design and being huge.
The castle is one of the major settings in Adventures in Pocketville that help prove that the show had so much potential to develop its lore more, since it is the home of Princess Ava (a character who also has huge potential to include a lot of lore).
We get to see a few indoor areas of the castle, with three in particular looking very interesting. That being the throne room, Ava’s bedroom, and the kitchen.
They’re all quite detailed just like the castle’s exterior, with the throne room even having a high ceiling since it is the main room of the building after all. Where the monarch and the Royal Guards supposedly have their meetings. The heart themed furniture in Ava’s bedroom is adorable, especially the bookshelf. The kitchen also stands out because of its green walls. I will admit I wish there was something else in the wall behind the thrones rather than just a painting of the castle and the fountain, like perhaps a heraldry or something, and the paintings being of other Siamese cats rather than random dogs and kids, both of which would keep people wondering about a potential royal family of the Pocket Kingdom and therefore ponder about a backstory for Ava and Eva (since we barely got one in the show if any at all).
However, one area I’m not a fan of is the corridor. Or corridors, rather.
No windows, very little lighting, no decorations, and a very washed out color of walls. It makes sense for it to be an underground passage like in the third episode, “Evershell the Wise”, where Kate and her friends find a secret passageway that leads far outside the castle’s premises, but we also see the same kind of corridor used as the one leading to the throne room in episode “Heads Up”. Shouldn’t there be like a fancy antechamber or something that leads to one of the most important rooms of the castle along with a more decorated hallway?
We do end up seeing this view from Ava’s bedroom showing a more decorated, almost baroque style corridor that looks more like the bedroom itself with the yellow walls and such. But we don’t actually get to see any scenes that take place exactly in it.
Sometimes I wonder what other rooms the castle could have, especially since we only saw very little of what looks like a huge castle. Of course, I have my AU to work on that I can include more rooms, like the drawing rooms often found in real life palaces/castles along with more important rooms like an armory and more bedrooms since I’m also giving Ava and Eva more family members and such.
This show is really fascinating, and it’s always making me wonder about what lore it could have.
