Hi hi hi! huge fan of your art and I got into shipwrecked stuff through this tumblr fandom! would you be willing to sketch the narrator from headless?

Drew both in honor of the kickstarter ending today 🙏 Heated bard rivalry

I drew so many of these for this kickstarter 😭I'm happy it was worth it!

I'm the bard. I'm sort of this musical bridge to the audience.

Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story [x]

Headless: A sleepy hollow story x Sanders Sides

anyone?? in our year 2025? ;-;

Detailed explanations of character pairs and closeups of drawings under the read more:

(click for better quality)

Starting with:

Ichabod as Thomas

Ichabod was a easy choice for Thomas. He is our beloved main character! He is also a cutie, like C!Thomas and looking for direction in Sleepy Hollow the same way Thomas looks to the Sides for direction.

Drawing wise, I enjoyed putting a bit of every colour in his outfit :) Plus, his little colour orbs represent the amount of each side i feel is represented in him :p

Matilda as Virgil/Anxiety

Matilda was nearly placed as Logic but i think anxiety works for her! Virgil also has a gloomy aesthetic and a deep love for his friends that pushes him to great lengths, like Matilda.

Anyways, i really wanted to make virgil’s cloak a cape so :p

Verla as Remus/Dark Creativity

She’s a spooky gal!!! Just like Remus. Remus would enjoy appearing with dramatic stings and monologuing to skulls like Verla. And the “it’s real blood” thing is so Remus so..

I’ve always wanted to draw Verla and i like her being in a lineup so i get to make her tinyyyy she’s so cute and ominous.

Lucretia as Logan/Logic

She’s smart, pragmatic and she doesn’t put up with any nonsense. Additionally, like Logan, she has a bit of a soft/eccentric side, particularly with her taking part in a quiz team with the babes (although i have no doubt she’s functioning as a Straight Man to their rambunctiius goofs).

Drawing Lucretia meant I FINALLY got to draw her with my headcanon of dyed brown hair except for an under section that is her real red colour.

Diedrich Knickerbocker as Roman/Creativity

He’s a bard!! He sings passionate songs and provides a little sneak peak into Ichabod’s desires and dreams to the audience, which is a more subtle version of Roman.

His outfit lends itself very well to be Princified so i just switched a few colours around :p Oh and I had to give him a sword ofc. Because it’s Roman..

Kat as Janus/Deciet

I struggled whether to place Kat as Anxiety or Deciet for a while but fundamentally i think she fits. Her entire arc is around lying, her father lying to her leads to her death etc.. Deciet’s dual nature as Self-Preservation also works with Kat as really she was just doing whatever it takes to look out for number one. And unlike for Janus, number one isn’t another person.

Janus’ outfit is hard to adapt into a cute dress (specifically i was basing it off Kats dress from the first Mayor Party) but they already shared a little bit of a colour scheme and i wanted to make his capelet into an outer skirt so sue me

Brom as Patton/Morality

He’s lovable, he’s a feminist and he likes to do the right thing even if he is sometimes blinded by love. He’s also just got a really big heart. (My only criticism is not enough puns like Patton does) Although Brom and Ichabod’s relationship is son to father compared to Patton and Thomas’ father to son, it’s another cross dynamic :p

If you read all this way, WOW THANKS :3

[lovelautski]

please watch headless: a sleepy hollow story you won’t regret it

[kala-mies]

The bard union says I have to take a four hour break every thirty minutes

[miss-holloways]

In headless, the villain doesn't monologue her whole backstory or plan she just lets the local bard sing it which is honestly why this show is the goat

Not sure what this means, but happily

Santa Claus and chimneys, 1812, 1862, 1902 and 1918.

Santa Claus is well known nowadays for coming down chimneys to place gifts in children’s homes, something first documented in print in a book from 1813 or 1814. Just a year or two earlier, however, in 1812, he is first recorded as using chimneys for this purpose—but he drops the gifts down without accompanying them along the way.

The 1812 edition of A History of New York, from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty states that “the good St. Nicholas would often make his appearance … of a holyday afternoon, riding jollily among the tree tops, or over the roofs of the houſes, now and then drawing forth magnificent preſents from his breeches pockets, and dropping them down the chimnies of his favourites.”

Even after he has begun going down the chimneys himself, he does still sometimes just drop gifts down, as he does around 1862, and in 1902 and 1918.
