Putting the blog on hiatus

So, you might have noticed I haven't been updating the blog, mostly because Internet has been fairly unkind to our family all week, but also because I feel extremely unmotivated.

I'm hoping this won't last too long, and I'll get back to filling asks pretty soon, but right now, it feels more like a chore than anything else. Closing the askbox for the time being.

"Baby Tooth? Who is Jack? Is he a bird friend of yours?"

((Tooth, please. Baby Tooth is as confused as you are about this mysterious Jack person.))

About future updates

So, when I started the askblog, I was thinking I should answer asks in a chronicle order (hence why I still haven't answered some asks I received a while back), but, the thing is, I'm starting to think it might not be such a great idea. :'D 

So, I'll be altering between different events. I'll try to keep things in an orderly fashion, so as not make things too confusing.

[the-rotg-tangled-au]

So Jack and Nightlight are going to Jail in the end? :(

((Ah, this, Anon dearest, is a detail I cannot reveal just yet. u v u ))

[the-rotg-tangled-au]

WHY IS THIS SO ADORABLE?! Also, if Tooth had all her hair chopped, what colour would it turn?

((SSSSH NO COMPLIMENTS NO PLEASE  ; A ;

Well, I actually posted a preview of what I was thinking of a while back. Her hair is going to be brown. I think I might make it lighter than in my sketches though.))

[the-rotg-tangled-au]

So, now the twins are telepathic moon children? Why is there a 'Magical Girl AU' vibe suddenly coming off of this?

((Oh my God, what? :’D I’m crying because I actually did a Magical Girl AU.

Okay, seriously though, I’m not going to make Jack and Night moon children. I don’t know how well you guys remember this, but the Moon has random “moonbeam eruptions” that have minor or major magical influences on Earth. What I was thinking was, the twins were on the receiving end of one of these eruptions during birth. It didn’t affect them too deeply. That’s where their white hair and telepathic bond came from. 

There’ll be a bit more about this later, since I’m planning to mention it in an ask.))

[the-rotg-tangled-au]

((Hey, everyone, I'm back! Finally done with my portfolio and oral presentation, and my drawing software is working correctly again! I'll try to  answer some asks starting tomorrow, so right now it'll be just questions for Mun. Internet is a bit slow though. u v u ))

Nightlight and communication (what a beautiful title)

Okay, I feel like I should probably officialize the whole thing, since that's basically what I always do, but first, thanks to the kind book readers for educating me (I don't know what I'd do without you). Also big thanks to those who were super quick to vote, you're all babus and I love you.

Alright then, Nightlight isn't mute, but since he tends to stay completely quiet around strangers, people assume he is. He only talks when it's absolutely necessary. Being twins, Jack and Nightlight share a telepathic bond, so usually, Nightlight just communicates through Jack. 

There, it's officialized. *throws glitter*

e-aster-bunnymund-lover a répondu à votre question : More decisions need to be taken so I ask for your help

He rarely speaks but he does sometimes, Just a sentence at most really. I think it could be cute if Nightlight was mute around strangers

Just adding this one too because yes that would be super cute indeed.

[the-rotg-tangled-au]

schnickledooger a répondu à votre question : More decisions need to be taken so I ask for your help

He actually does speak in the books, rarely, but he can. I think he prefers speaking telepathically more than verbally.

schnickledooger a réagi à votre billet : More decisions need to be taken so I ask for your help

I think Nightlight is shy. I can’t remember if he speaks in front of the others but he does talk outloud to the Moon. He might talk verbally when he’s comfortable around someone and he and Jack could communicate in their minds since their twins.

WELL ALRIGHT THEN POLL'S OVER TELEPHATHIC BOUNDS BETWEEN TWINS IS A BEAUTIFUL THING THAT MUST BE USED AND SHALL BE USED

[the-rotg-tangled-au]

frostedoverland a répondu à votre question : More decisions need to be taken so I ask for your help

he talks in the books, it’s just really rare

((*GASPS* WIKIPEDIA LIED TO ME. Welp, alright then, let's change that to "I've hardly ever heard the sound of my own voice" Nightlight VS "I talk I just don't want to right now" Nightlight...))

[the-rotg-tangled-au]

(if you've watched Ouran Highschool Host Club) Nightlight can be like Mori-senpai, rarely talks but talks when he really has too and is actually important to a conversation or situation, unlike Jack who probably talks too much and off-track of whatever subject. idk just a suggestion :O

((Haha, that was kind of what I had in mind for quiet!Nightlight. Counting your suggestion as a vote if that’s okay with you. u v u))

[the-rotg-tangled-au]

question for mun, like how Eugene and Rapunzel fell in love, will the same happen for Tooth and North? or is their relationship staying on a platonic level throughout the entire story?

((Romance is totally gonna happen. I’d be a sinner if I didn’t make it happen. 

I’ll use the fact you’re asking to remind everyone that I’ll be tagging the romance under “NorthTooth”.))

[the-rotg-tangled-au]

More decisions need to be taken so I ask for your help

So, now that the whole Seraphina's Curse issue is down, I have another more or less important problem: Nightlight.

Okay, Nightlight isn't much of a problem, but I've been wondering, in the books, he doesn't speak at all, but since this is an AU, should I make his speak? He'd still be pretty quiet, obviously, especially compared to Jack. Just a comment here and there.

So guys, please help, because this is a crucial question. It would help a ton, on both the asks, and how the twin interact, since having a mute twin is obviously not going to be the same as having a really quiet twin. 

So pick, should Nightlight be mute or not?

*edit* The poll is over! Please stop leaving votes.

I'm happy you like my idea ^_^ -BG0797

Seraphina's Curse

OKAY GUYS WAIT I'VE GOT IT HERE IT IS

So, as I decided earlier, the Moon is sentient, but not the like in the movie, because it's not the Man on the Moon, it's just the Moon. It does perceive things, but not in a human way. Basically, it's there, but it doesn't care much for humans or anything at all. It simply watches and sometimes it has minor, or major, influences on Earth. They're kind of random, and don't really serve a purpose. It's comparable to solar eruptions, except, it's moonbeams eruptions, and they lead to magic happening here and there. The kingdom in which the AU takes place is where the Moon has had the most influence, and is often referred to as the "Moonlit Kingdom".

Flash forward to the Dark Ages, or rather it's equivalent. Pitch is a wizard living with his sickly daughter, Seraphina. She has been sick since birth, and after loosing any hope of curing her himself, Pitch resorts to pleading the Moon to do something for her. He does this every night of full moon, for years and years, with not much result. Still he keeps praying. Then one day, a terrible War starts and ravages most of the kingdoms. The Moonlit Kingdom is no exception. The Moon doesn't care for any of this though, and simply watches as humanity spirals into violence. 

Pitch tries his best to stay away from the conflict and take care of his daughter, but ends up participating in the shadows, believing this is the best way to keep his precious Seraphina safe—which is actually kind of true. He ends up getting corrupted by it all, going as far as using Black magic and killing people in not-so-painless ways. Seraphina, of course, knows nothing of this. She sees her father disappear from time to time, and notices a slow but obvious physical change, as he is corrupted by his own dark magic every time he uses it. He still takes care of her, still loves her, still prays to the Moon every full moon, but he seems more and more distant as he slowly loses his humanity to darkness.

One night, on a full moon, little Seraphina goes outside ignoring the ache in her weak legs. She looks up to the Moon and asks it to help her father, who is turning into a thing of darkness every passing day. Pitch is inside by the window, not having noticed his daughter's leave, and just as he does each time, he pleads the Moon to save his daughter. The simultaneity of the wishes picks the Moon's interest and it decides, that all right, it'll do something, but just this once. So it sends a drop of moonlight down on Earth, to create a Moonflower. Only, the drop lands on Seraphina. Pitch witnesses this and watches, powerless, as his daughter is turned into a flower. The shock and pain snaps him halfway back to his former self, his greyish skin and rotten teeth, the only remains of his meddling with dark magic. Overcome by sadness, he takes the flower back inside with him. He stays locked inside, mourning, for days, weeks, he isn't sure anymore. He doesn't really care.

One night, he starts to sing his daughter's favourite lullaby, as a farewell. The flower reacts to the singing, to his greatest shock, and turns him back to what he physically was before the War. And Pitch suddenly understands. His daughter is still there and still alive. He keeps her hidden, until finally, after a few decays, the War is over. It is now safe enough to let her grow outside, letting her see the outside world she could not reach because of her illness, and plants her in a field. He cares for her, loves her, sings for her for decades and decades, centuries and centuries, until one day, she's stolen.

AND THAT'S HOW IT ALL HAPPENED FOLKS. Here, we have it. This is the final version of the curse and I ain't changing it. Never.

So, if anyone remembers, I mentioned Pitch needing the flower's healing powers for more than just keeping himself alive. Well this is it. He needs it to stay human. 

[the-rotg-tangled-au]

Here's just an idea but: what if Seraphina was born with an illness and Pitch asked the moon to heal her and instead of healing her Manny (being the ass he is) turns her into a flower with healing powers? Just a random idea. -BG0797

(( *AGGRESSIVE GASPING* OH MY GOD I REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA HELP

Wait, wait, WAIT I HAve an iDEA. How about the Moon isn’t sentient. Well, okay, yes it is, but not like Manny. Like, there’s no “Man on the Moon”, it’s basically just the Moon, and as such the Moon isn’t able to perceive thing like humans would. It doesn’t really care for humanity, or anything, really, it just watches over Earth, and sometimes it influences on it, but not with any real purpose.

Okay, moving on to Pitch and Seraphina. Basically, Seraphina’s been ill since birth, because that adds angst yes good, and Pitch kind of gave up on ever curing her himself, so he turns to the next best thing, which is asking the Moon for help. He does this every single night when there’s a full moon, for years and years, with not much result, until, one day, the Moon decides to pay attention. Only, the Moon not being all that human, turns Seraphina into a Moonflower, thinking that’s basically what Pitch wanted.

*GASPS SOME MORE*

WAIT WAIT GUYS I’M GONNA MIX THIS IDEA UP WITH THE-STARS-DESCEND’S SUGGESTION GIVE ME A MINUTE))
