The oldest child of Sage Haneroh Sealungs, Marinus is considered the ambassador of the Water Nymph tribe when it comes to all things surface related. When not at home he can be found visiting the royal family of the Waterfolk kingdom or interacting with his Nymph cousin, Bloom, when on the surface. Still wary of the Fire Nymphs due to his tribe’s history with them, he often goes to Maria instead of Hody (the latter of whom he talks to more about building relations between the Waterfolk and Water Nymphs) whenever Topaz is found attached to his hip.

A commission from @harchibudytgorichi of my character Marinus! He’s the first Water Nymph introduced to the Mewniverse side of the Callyieverse and I figured it was about time I got a visual of him done. Thanks again for drawing him!

I loved seeing the political side of Mewni. Feels like a refreshing look on ToM.

Thank you! I was a bit worried it might come off as dull or boring since I’ve seen a lot of settings/stories where politics aren’t done right and come off as very uninteresting, but I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it! Especially since I planned to have a bit more of it throughout this arc!

Ar-Janek the Tyrant was the tallest Goliath that ever lived, towering sixteen feet tall over all other Goliaths like a king. A ruthless tyrant, Ar-Janek carved the culture of the Goliath race through his war mongering and lust for competition. Feared for years, even after his death, he worked for Gadfly the Mad during the Mewman-Monster wars in the ancient days of Mewni’s history.

A commission from @harchibudytgorichi of Ar-Janek, mightiest and tallest of the Goliaths of his time. I refer to him a lot when talking about the Goliaths and I do have a few fics about/featuring him so I wanted to get some art for him. Thanks again, Harchi!

While not many know her true identity, and those who do are sworn to secrecy, the Grandmaster is known chiefly as the leader of the Handmaidens. Among the Handmaidens she’s known to not be around the castle protecting Star, but no matter what she doles responsibilities out to each Handmaiden through her second-in-command, Sarasim. What little is also known about her is that she has little regard for what the Commission has to say about her, and that she has a good deal of knowledge about the Precursors and Haku.

A commission from @harchibudytgorichi ! Wanted to get a commission of the Grandmaster done since she’s going to become more important in Return of Haku.

Trapped

“I told you to release her to the Elder Council. She stinks of his magic!” “I can’t just leave her fate to the council when she’s still recovering. You saw what condition the sentinels brought her in.” “Hmph. Fine, have it your way, nurse. But when she can walk she’s going to face the Elder Cou...

Visas awakens to find herself in a strange land, surrounded by unfamiliar faces;  Higgs finds herself in hiding with no sign of her daughter no where to be found; meanwhile, Haku finds himself irritated as he rests after his transformation. 

Hey y’all, here’s the next part to Return of Haku! Something I wanna start doing is adding in music because... eh, just want to. Each section for this part has its own little theme, completely optional to listen to while reading.

The First Battle

Gathered around in one of the many rooms of Butterfly castle, the Magic High Commision asked to meet with Star under special circumstances. They weren’t going to have her come into her their meeting chamber, making it easier for her, but she wasn’t going to have Puff or Sarasim around to intimid...

The Cult of Haku has finally arrived, and Haku himself brings surprises to his first fight in ages. Can the Calamities and Visas stop the Cult here and now?

A long awaited continuation in the making! The first battle with the Cult of Haku has arrived with a little bit of a darker continuation to the story.

The Calamities belong to @kururu418

Can we get some Grandmaster quotes?

Resting in the castle, the Grandmaster sipped a cup of tea with the Butterfly prince sitting across from her. “You know, Astro, I was friends with your mother once.”

“Really?” Astro asked, setting his cup down. 

“Yes. We were known as the Reaper and the Raven, whenever we were plunged into situations where we found ourselves fighting off the ones that wanted us dead the most.” The Grandmaster sighed, setting her cup down on its saucer. She seemed lost in thought for a moment, remembering a time long past.

“Rosetta, have you seen my chest?” The Grandmaster asked, getting out of a small cupboard after failing to find what she was looking for.

Rosetta stared at her for a moment before replying, rather snarkily, “Yes, I have. They haven’t grown, Hava.”

“Shut up, you know what I meant!” The Grandmaster said, flustered red. She crossed her arms over her chest, grumbling to herself.

Do you have any plans for Seth? I miss him so much!

Yes I do!

For his next story I’m gonna make an antagonist from My Life as a Teenage Robot the main antagonist for Seth’s story after something happens involving another space robot. It won’t be Vexus and the Vexian Uprising, they’ve been... decommissioned.
