#the heaps

Reading the Sep Heap books was the highlight of my childhood.

My parents exposed me to classic rock/metal.

The song "Paint it Black" by The Rolling Stones *instantly* made me think of the Supreme Custodian painting over the Heaps' red door.

I imagine him stomping through The Ramblings with this song playing in his head. He's so pleased with all the black doors. He's enjoying the fact that it's erasing the identities of the residents.

I can picture him cracking down on the citizens of The Castle, walking around in a montage set to this song.

It was a classic YouTube song edit in my mind before I had access to the Internet.

And 20 years later, I am still disappointed that I don't have the skills to make that song edit

I see a red door And I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black

Septimus Heap has the ultimate found family. You start with the core seven-son family, which is already guaranteed to have at least nine members. Not to mention they have a crazy aunt and at least six uncles, as well as a tree or two.

Throw in an adopted daughter, 1.5 ducks and 0.5 of a cat, the youngest son's adoptive mother/mentor/BFF and semi-adoptive father/kidnapper, the adopted daughter's biological dad, the youngest son's best friend who will someday be the adopted daughter's boyfriend, a ghost uncle, the youngest son's first best friend/adoptive brother from his childhood in the army who is probably also the second oldest son's boyfriend, the youngest son's dragon, and the oldest son's wife.

Oh, and don't forget the ghost uncle's ghost girlfriend, the mother, father, and brother of the oldest son's wife, the second youngest son's girlfriend and her transforming panther, maybe a couple witches (or maybe not), the adopted daughter's ghost mom and ghost grandmother, the oldest son's pet tennis ball, the adopted daughter's pet rock(s), and a centuries-old magical grandpa who you can only see by exiting time.

And we haven't even gotten to the sequel series yet!

A traditional art drawing of Silas, sarah and jenna heap. Sarah is not the left hand side in a bed facing the right hand side, profile visible. He arms are out and she is sitting upright in the bed, only her torso shown. She is smiling and sobbing. She had her curly blonde back in a messy low ponytail. She is holding a baby and wearing an orange dress that is bunches at her elbows. Behind her is Silas, facing ahead but looking at her smiling, he has one hand supporting the baby and the other on his wife's shoulder. He is wearing a blue cloak and a blue tunic with grey pants and brown boots, legs hidden behind the bed. One foot out and one foot facing front. The baby is on its back, being held. It is in a grey swaddle and had dark hair. The bed frame is brown, the sheets are dark grey, the quilt is red, and the pillows are white the pillows are behind her back. The floor is wood and brown and so is the wall. Behind, on the right hand side of Silas is a brown framed portrait of 7 blonde boys what days "heap brothers". End description]

the forest heaps had to be written to the sideline during the simon stuff bc they would have roasted his ass to next tuesday so bad he'd have to stop being evil

Okay, it’s been bugging since I started re-reading Septimus Heap while still having a foot in the miraculous fandom.

So ideas for an AU/crossover that I will never write.

if there is an actual crossover and we follow the timeline (as in Septimus Heap is set far far away in a distant future) then I will raise you this.

Adrien and Marinette, because we all know they are endgame, we already know the name of theirs children is an ancestor to the Heap family.

Look ! Blond fluffy hair (yes I’m aware that the Heaps have curly hair, not fluffy, but if he is ancestor from a long long long time before them, things might have changed), bright green eyes (I also know hat it’s the magyk that does it but if we take Septimus’s eyes as 412, he had grey eyes...and guess what ? Gabriel has grey/blue eyes) and an old family that is probably linked to the magic in his time (the twins rings of the Graham de Vanily) and he also have a link to England since his aunt and cousins are living in London right now..

(He also has a magic ring and Septimus also has a magykal ring so there is that.)

If anybody want to add on to that, they are welcome !

Heap siblings reactions to: "you have to die to save your loved ones"

Simon: i think you mean you have to die to save my loved ones

Sam: i'll do what it takes, no hesitation

Edd: *has already pounced and is halfway through beating you to death before you even finish your sentence*

Erik: pretty fucked up if you ask me

JoJo: bold of you to assume i'm scared to die

Nicko: *lighting a match* alright, but if i'm going down, i'm taking you with me

Septimus: *casts some big self-sacrificial spell that he is saved from at the last minute from said loved ones bc this kid has no self-preservation skills at ALL*

Jenna: i just feel like there has to be another option if we think about this for maybe more than 5 seconds

Your lastest art made me wonder if you have any headcanons for Jenna and the twins? Mayhaps? 👀

love that tumblr never notified me of this but it's a GOOD ASK so here we go

- Jenna supports their work to be castle wizards more than anyone, and she hypes them up all the time

- Jenna's their favourite to prank, only second to JoJo. Something about the mix of the decorum of royalty, her "ready to kill" reactions, and the fact that youngest siblings have no rights

- Erik helps her with hair and accessories on fancy occasions

- Edd is the person she goes to when she needs a distraction. He'll often find a horse and take her on long rides to the middle of nowhere to look at the stars and breathe in the universe

- they let her unleash her pent up "improper" side when being Queen is Too Much

- Edd loves cuddles and will scoop up his baby sister into the warmest, safest hug she's ever had

- Erik loves roasting and doing bits with Jenna; she has the best deadpan reactions

- Jenna is very vocally critical of the people they date, and she'll let her brothers know if she thinks it's a good move or not

- Edd and Nicko vs. Jenna and Erik is the most lethal game combo

- she never lets them live down the fact that they're furries
