[DAY 12: THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY]
So before Lily gives her son the biggest grounding of his life she meets her childhood best friend and Riddley's mom Clarabella, while Archemedes meets his old best friend, and Riddley's dad, Virgil. Both parents have a history together since before Riddley and Kronya's fairytale began, they were the ones who went through the Nutcracker fairytale. [this whole issue ties with the world i'm kinda building, where it's a land of fairytales and generations go through the fairytale stories in their own way] if anyone's wondering why Virgil called Archemedes a sack of wooden bones it's because Archemedes wasn't originally human. He was a nutcracker built to serve as a spy for the previous mouse king, but then through the power of friendship, he betrayed the rodent population.
(also big apologies for lacking in the posting-on-time department. College did a big oopsie and now I have 4 assignments next week with 2 for one day and another 2 for another day.) ((I also tried experimenting and improving my style by making Riddley's arms look more nutcracker/toy-ish...also tried improving the tassels too cuz felt mine were a bit...ehhh))
