judy hopps :: who would your muse partner up with to solve a crime?

Chano. He’s probably one of Sid’s closest friends and he has a habit of dragging the guy along on shenanigans often anyway. Who better to solve a crime with than his partner in crime?

Muses and the #MonsterMash2k20

Jayden - He’s pretty much unaffected and happily watching the world burn while documenting it in his sketchbook for a few paintings in the future. There are only a few people he actually cares about living or dying and he’s confident in their ability to take care of themselves. If he were called to action by one of them hypothetically, he may come and lend a hand for old times sake. He has so missed the chaos, after all. 

Fish - Fish is dying. Miles is there, too, and they’re going to be gross and cute like they always are because they can’t help it, even when imminent death is involved. 

Dallon - Dallon is unaffected, hiding out with Benny, trying not to die, and being reminded over and over again that he is very human and very mortal. He’s scared out of his mind, but he’s trying his best to remain optimistic because screaming and running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off has never helped anyone. 

Amadeus - Unaffected by the Ancients, Amadeus is ready to fight back to ensure the safety of his family and loved ones no matter the cost. If you’ve got a tattoo witch and you want to plot further with him, please let me know because that’s all I really have for him. 

Sidney - Sid is fairly affected by the Ancients as an old ass dragon himself. He’ll probably revert to his less than humanoid state - something he doesn’t do on a regular basis and stay centeral to his shop because his attachment to his material possessions is very strong. 

Jamie - Jamie is very affected by the Ancients, his usual level of anxiety and fear enhancing their hold on his mind. He’s locked himself inside and called his newfound friend Forrest in an attempt to ground himself, but that plan seems to be failing more and more with each passing moment. 

Romeo - Romeo is unaffected, he’s just hanging out with his siblings waiting for it all to blow over.

“One would think people had learned their lesson by now, but no. Yesterday, someone tried to sell me a series of fake jewelry so obviously and disgustingly cheap I didn’t spare it a second glance.” Sid grinned, his regard too fleeting to consider what had brought a person to try and sell him something so fake. There was a desperation in the action that flew right over his head and never made it into the string of ridiculous tales he often spun when there was a lull in conversation.

“The wrist flick. Even after...God knows how long, I’ve never quite gotten it down,” Sidney mused, running his thumb over the smooth surface of the stone before chucking it at the late in a half-assed attempt to get it to skip. He almost regretted getting rid of it once it was gone, it’d felt nice in his palm - just the right size and shape to be comforting. Watching his stone skip once, twice, it sunk to the bottom of lake with nothing more than a quiet plunk. 

“You still have another go in you? The sun hasn’t gone yet, we’ve got time.”

Intro - Sidney ‘Sid’ Holmes 

[  asa butterfield, male, he/him, 1,045 ] Whenever I hear DO IT ALL THE TIME by IDKHBTFM it always makes me think of SIDNEY HOLMES. They have been so ARTICULATE & ADAPTABLE, but occasionally they have gotten a little bit ABSENTMINDED & INDECISIVE during their FIFTY YEARS in Evergreen Parrish. They currently work as a PAWN SHOP OWNER, a strangely fitting job for a DRAGON (AIR). DOM LEANING SWITCH, they never tried to hide that they were HOMOSEXUAL. A BREEZE RUSTLING YOUR HAIR, SOFT HOODIES OVER CRISP BUTTON UPS, EYES BLUE LIKE THE SKY, SILVER SCALES THAT SHINE LIKE RICHES are pretty much their calling card, and that fits perfectly with their role as a SPONSOR in the Parrish.

& Background

Sidney never had the urge to settle down. He liked the freedom of hopping place to place, easily severing the weak connections he made to people and things. It was in his nature, like the wind he was happiest uninhibited by the world. 

Over time, it became harder and harder for him to do so. Borders, protocol, government crackdowns, and identification papers made the whole process more and more frustrating. By the time the 21st century rolled around, he decided he’d try his hand at settling down in one place.  

He was invited to the Parrish by an old acquaintance and it seemed as good a place as any to settle down. The fact that it was a community of mostly non-human residence was a plus, too. It meant he didn’t have to hide if he didn’t want to, but being in his more humanoid form was a preference by then. 

‘The Dragon’s Horde’ wasn’t always what it is now. It used to be a rundown old pawn shop called ‘The Treasure Chest’ owned by an ancient werewolf who always looked about four seconds from keeling over. Sid popped in one day to look around and see if she had anything interesting to add to his growing collection of rare and beautiful items only to be captivated by both the shop itself and it’s owner. 

Eventually he started working there to pay rent (spending money always hurt him, but it was necessary) and when she passed, he inherited the shop and decided to make it his own with a bit of a revamp. 

The more roots he put down, the more he lost interest in traveling. It was as if he was trapped by his relationships, his business, and - of course - his stuff. He got his fix of adventure elsewhere, always sticking his nose where it didn’t belong and talking his way out of the consequences, but something in him died the day he bought his first apartment and it’s been slowly rotting away inside him every since. 

& Random Headcanons

He’s always had an eye for expensive and beautiful things. When he was moving place to place, he was forced to keep his habit of collecting shiny valuables to a minimum but now that he’s got a place of his own, he’s become a bit of a hoarder. 

He likes jewelry the best and got both his ears pierced three times in the 80′s just so he could wear more. You won’t catch him dead without a little bit of bling, even if it’s hidden under the ridiculously oversized hoodies he shrugs on over his button down tops. 

Sid looks very young, too young to have done much of anything let alone owned his own business. He’s learned to use it to his advantage, it comes in handy when he’s trying to keep his hands clean of any potential discourse. 

He can be airheaded - often forgetting important dates or to lock the door to his shop. It’s led to some trouble more than once, but he’s trying to get on top of it by writing himself reminders. His arms are constantly covered in black ink - a collection of to-do lists and notes to jot down on paper later that evening (if he doesn’t get distracted, that is.) 

 His mind wanders easily and sometimes he’ll drift off during conversation, but all it takes to get him back is a quick shake or a snap of your fingers in front of his face. 

His morals have always been flexible, but the more time he spends in one place, the more they’ve adapted to fit the societal standard. It’s another in a long line of things that have changed Sid since he decided to give the Parish a chance.

He doesn’t like getting his hands dirty. If at all possible, he likes to get others to fight his fights for him whether they be physical or otherwise. 

He likes to people watch and come up with elaborate life stories for random strangers based on brief observation. It’s a lot more fun with a friend, which is why he often drags the closest person to him into it as well - willing or not. 

Abilities: shapeshifting - he can switch between a humanoid form and what you’d traditionally expect from a dragon (in human form, he is subject to the same weaknesses as humans), air manipulation, flight (in his dragon form), the ability to sense precious metals/gems
