Heads-up, but there's gonna actually be a lot of character reorganization. It makes sense, as there's only a narrow scope of characters that are focused upon in the main story, so I want to reflect that so people are not confused. In detail:

some characters I've drawn are gonna recede into the background background (as in they're only mentioned or don't really have a significant role in the main story anymore)

there are new characters I'll end up drawing (new to the public, not to me) so you'll see them sometime in the future

You're gonna see that reflected in the Toyhouse folder as well, but just wanted to say something first!

magician's deal ✧˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

close-ups + context below~

Right at the start of the story, Cerulean can't convince Anstey he's no longer a magician, so he forces Anstey to hold onto his magic items. He needs Anstey to trust him.

Anstey doesn't, but you can't safely trash magic items so he has to be the one to hold them. At least the magic is where he can see it and not near his children, 'cause he hires Cerulean as the new nanny at this point. The magic items turn into a pocket watch for ease of storage.

[theashbourns]

I have two questions, does Cerulean have his old magician clothes anywhere or did they get tossed out. Also what does him and anstey do with there free time (they both strike me as not knowing what to do with themselves when something isn't happening)

Most anything on a magicians' person is made of magic, so really they can just be poofed away at will (besides the source). In Cerulean's case, his magician clothes are nonexistent because they dematerialized for now, but the only thing he still has in his possession are his magic hat and wand.

And you're right with the second part! Really what do tired dads do when there's nothing else? Just chill. They might just converse over tea or do something real exciting like taking a walk together. Separately, Cerulean will just read and Anstey would either take a nap, or on rare occasions draw.
