Rounding out the Mandragora trio, we have Alice!

Sorry for the delay on her—it’s been a crazy month. Pokopia + getting sick made it hard to get this one out, but she’s here!! Put a little extra love into Alice due to the delay—she’s got more color than the guys and she deserves the effort!!

Vatore House Make-over!

I've finally gotten around to posting the Vatore house make-over that i did a while back. This is mostly a refurbishing of the interior with some modifications to the back of the house and the attic! This will also be relevant to Mandragora at some point (probably post storyline tbh), but also I wanted to show this off lol.

Check below the cut for the tour!

First, the entryway. It's already so much better with colored wallpaper!:

Next, the living room:

Also a quick look at the first floor bathroom:

Next, the kitchen. Caleb has plenty of room to cook in here:

And to round out the first floor, we have the back porch, my first addition to the house:

Starting on the second floor, we have the hall:

Next is Lilith's bedroom. I gave her a purple color scheme:

And her bathroom:

Next we have Caleb's bedroom- his room has more of a red color scheme:

And the nearby hallway bathroom, technically Caleb's bathroom:

That is all I can post for the time being, but I will post the rest of the second floor and the attic later!

I sometimes think about how if, somehow, there were a wrinkle in time or what have you, Erwin and Caleb would have been friends as children

Baby Caleb would have been fascinated by baby Erwin because Erwin was allowed to get dirty and play outside and do pretty much whatever he wanted (within reason of course). And then baby Erwin would have had someone to show his bugs and lizards to after catching them (and Caleb wouldn’t have made fun of him for it or thought it was weird)

I head-canon the two of them as having pretty lonely childhoods (with some exceptions, like Lilith), so I think they would have gotten on pretty well
