Can we get some more sylvie doodles?

sheepy boye!!

[epitheterasedgen]

If everyone went to a county fair(like the kind you would get fried pickles at-) what would everyone do?

Fun fact! I wrote almost this WHOLE list before going, “wait, this Howie bit feels familiar. did I already write the EAM going to the fair???”

I sure did.

Oh well. Guess you get a part two!!!

Percy implements the buddy system right away bc she is NOT losing any of her kids to one of Ramsey's crazy schemes

(Everyone is so happy Ramsey talked her into letting them do this)

Molly and Gio book it for the rides first— Sylvie promises to catch up with them later, definitely, probably, he doesn’t get motion sickness what are you talking about

Their favorite rides are the spinny ones, because Molly doesn’t like extreme ones that turn you upside down and make you sick, but she LOVES being thrust against the wall and just getting off dizzy and giggling

Percy invites Sylvie to go look at the displays with her! Sylvie needs the excuse to not go with Molly so he goes along with her to the fruit/vegetable contests and old-person quilting displays and pretends to be interested

Ramsey runs to the lottery, but Zora’s already there. (“Cheater.” “Hey, ah didn’t even need to use my epithet! Yer just short.”) They spend too much money and lose it all, RIP

Howie immediately goes to the only thing he’s interested in, the beekeeping exhibit where you get to watch the bees up-close and get a free sample of honey

The whole group ends up shopping at the same time, but the shopping arenas are so huge they manage to just barely never bump into each other

Mera spends a long time at several stalls, with cute dolls or pretty jewelry or trinkets, most of which are useless but of course Indus buys them all for her

He buys a splat toy for himself! You can throw it at a wall and it DOESN’T BREAK! :O

Indus is basically happy and set for the rest of the day

Molly buys a small bow with a bear in the middle and Percy picks up an information pamphlet for a new vacuum (which Ramsey later makes her throw away because “oh that brand is garbage, trust me once I infiltra... worked for them”)

Around lunchtime, they all get various unhealthy deep-fried foods and meats and corn on the cob with way too many toppings

Percy finds them all a nice small area of tables at an outdoor arena with nothing playing yet, and while they eat they watch people attempt the bungee jump nearby (where people jump off a crane and onto a huge trampoline while attached to a bungee cable)

Ramsey gets people to bet on whether or not they’ll actually jump, because apparently lots  of people pay the entree fee but chicken out once they see the height

As they finish eating, the next stage act arrives! It’s an a cappella quartet that’s getting on in years, but you know what? They’re really nice and chat with the family while they set up, and one of them actually knows Howie from his work. Howie is gratified

Surprisingly, once they start their show, they sound fantastic. Percy ends up buying one of their CDs for the car, which shocks everyone because Percy never spends money for fun. Ramsey suspects this might be the kind of music she listened to as a kid, but doesn’t pry

Zora offers to buy all the kids dessert. Percy insists they should at least wait a while because they just ate; Zora responds to this by buying a HUGE soft-serve ice-cream (literally a foot tall on the cone) and eating it all in front of her

Molly and Gio both want to try out the rock-climbing wall, so Ramsey pays for them! (There are a lot of paid attractions at the fair.) Gio has the advantage because of his long limbs, but neither of them reach the top. At least they have fun!

Ramsey and Zora both want to do rides in the evening, when all the lights are on, so Percy supervises to make sure they don’t kill each other

The kids take this chance to check out the games, which Howie supervises to make sure they don’t kill each other

They’re really bad at them because they’re all rigged, but Gio convinces Howie to take a shot (it’s a baseball-throwing game) and he KNOCKS EVERYTHING DOWN AND WINS A HUGE TEDDY BEAR FOR MOLLY yes another one, Molly is allowed more than one giant teddy bear, long story short don’t let Indus OR Howie near the games

It’s literally as big as Sylvie. Howie has to carry it on his shoulders but doesn’t seem to mind, probably?

The last event of the night is a huge concert in an open-air theatre. Everyone hangs out in the back of the bleachers (for Molly’s misophonia) and smiles and eats kettle corn while listening to the music and watching all the lights burn against the night sky as the sun sets

[short-and-ugly]

Have you ever heard of a Scientist named Dr hofnarr? Does he sound familiar to you tricky?

I remember the intercom telling me to go to that big-shot Hofnarr's office for evaluation, but wouldn't you know it? That place was completely empty, every time! Not a single doctor! 0/10, horrible service and even worse food!

And don't get me started on the neighbors!

Headcanon: Sylvie's sleep dust glows, and since his hair is full of it, his hair kinda glows in the dark

!

[epitheterasedgen]

Since there seems to be a theme of beefton headcanons so far, Indus and beefton perhaps?

They have little workout competitions! They're both pretty impressive, especially considering they're only Class 1

Mera taught Indus what selfies are so he insists on taking some with his "muscle bro" and honestly it's really pure

...neither of them can work a camera very well so all the shots are blurry or crop someone's head out, but still

Beefton thanks Indus for how much of a help he's been to young Sylvester, truly, he doesn't have many role models in his life and he feels that Indus has had a positive impact on his growth as a person, and—

Indus does not know what he did but :D he is happy to help! :D

[epitheterasedgen]

If the other characters could use dream big, what animals/mythical creatures do ya think they would turn into?

not exactly what you asked for but close enough

I cannot find the mythical creatures AU to save my life, even though I swear I posted it on this blog at some point. But, here, mythical creatures AU that @velvety-love and I came up with forever ago!

molly - werebear (like a werewolf but a bear, also still a cub)

sylvie - sandman (no explanation required)

gio - soup vampire (a vampire that drinks soup instead of blood)

mera - medusa (wants a way to not turn people to stone)

indus - gargoyle (not affected by mera b/c he's already stone)

ramsey - genie (was tricked by one long ago and now stuck granting wishes)

zora - phoenix (immortal, cycle of life/death/rebirth, big scary firebird)

percy - dragon (but, like, a nice one with knightly values)

howie - dryad (tiny but incredibly strong, can build cities in a day)

yoomtah - fae (magical trickster, do not trust her)

meryl - unicorn (w/a broken horn and magic that goes haywire)

eros - centaur (TWO sets of rippling abs, babey)

trixie - poltergeist (scares people for fun cuz there's not much else to do)

phoenica - elf (the pretty, flowy dresses-and-lace kind with nature magic)

gorou - satyr (dumb and lovable, easily tricked, loves food and parties)

ALL OF GIO'S BOYS - goths (normal humans who wanna be like Gio)

So with the "Sylvie's hair glows in the dark due to sleep dust" what shenanigans do you think Giovanni could pull with it?

Trying to convince Howie that the house is haunted, and accidentally convincing Mera that the house is haunted instead.

[epitheterasedgen]

What do you think would happen if everyone just one day woke up without their epithets and Howie just suddenly got one? What chaos would pursue?

*HOO BOY these are gonna be slightly impacted by my sentient epithet theory so be warned for that!!

Molly: Would wake up feeling something was wrong, but not notice right away. Then she'd panic the first time using her epithet didn't work, and without her epithet to help dumb down her own panic attack... well...

Sylvie: He'd notice IMMEDIATELY. There's a sort of intangible softness near his chest, and having had his epithet taken from him once— albeit "ripped out" rather than suddenly missing or suppressed— he'd notice that softness being gone. His personality wouldn't change, but he'd act like someone who just lost their phone and is anxiously looking for it before they get an important call.

Giovanni: Dual possibilities here! I think he'd either wake up seeming normal, but as the day went on, Molly and Sylvie would notice him being weirdly nice and just... slightly off? OR... he'd suddenly become extremely violent and mean-spirited, like the villain persona he pretends to be but isn't. It'd be frightening either way.

Mera: At first, she'd just be like "wow I got a weirdly good night's sleep for once," but the reality of the situation would become pretty clear, pretty fast. She'd... she'd actually feel so relieved, she wouldn't know what to do with herself? She's wanted her whole life to be out of pain and she'd finally get it, but... well, now what?

Indus: He'd wake up without noticing (he has a sum total of zero braincells after all), but the first time he failed to summon a BARRIER, he'd just sit down and start to cry in confusion. Where is his friend??? :(

"Indus what do you mean your 'friend' you big slab of dork?" "The nice voice that talks to me!" "...okay were you dropped on your head as a baby because honestly that'd explain a lot—"

Ramsey: He'd... be unsettled, to say the least. And depressed. Like, really depressed. Man, he hasn't had a depressive episode this bad in a long time. Mera might actually bring HIM food in bed for a change.

Zora: BOY OH BOY would Zora losing her epithet be.... uh... something! Sure, she claims to hate it, but we all know how much she relies on it. Ignoring any possible age changes that might happen (let's say she's kept in the position she was before losing Sundial), she'd be SO bitter and annoyed whenever she tried to do something simple, like jumping out of her second-story room and forgetting she can't just float down. It'd be her own personal torture and even more than the frustration itself, she'd hate that she'd hate it. Because she WANTS a world without epithets. ...Right? Right?

Percy: The biggest change. She'd be... quiet. Not that she's normally loud or talks a lot, but she'd be really quiet. And... constantly staring into the distance, as if zoning out. In fact, she'd almost be like a shell of a person. Not particularly changing in her tastes or preferences, but eerily different in personality— not the strong, overprotective caretaker who keeps everyone else under wraps.

Howie: Regardless of the epithet he got, he'd just keep doing his job. Being a previous mundie, it'd be safe to assume he could truly hear the voice in his head which isn't his own— but that doesn't mean he'd listen to it, or even let it affect him. It can live there just so long as it doesn't bother him or stop him from doing his job.
