Just got procreate and I am loving it. So I decided to draw another character from my Percy Jackson au. Meet General Porcupine, her dads a satyr and her moms a tracker/guard fairy. And although she is short compared to most guard fairies, who are around 7-8 feet tall, she is still huge at 6’10.
Physically she is 20 but because of both satyr and fairy ageist she is actually 50
Has some slight anger problems
Is really bad at infection so everything she says is kind of flat
Became a general not that long ago when her mentor retired
When the Greek gods where transferring from England to America her dad and a couple other satyrs and a small group of centers just decided to stay in Ireland
Usually wears a full set of armor into battle but this is her sparring/training outfit
Buff goat lady
Has wings but I was to lazy to draw them
Has patches of blue skin inherited from her mom and her scars turn light blue
Uses a huge axe to fight
Not exactly satyr and not exactly fairy
There a many types of fea in the au but the group she is apart of is called the wild fairies. Similar to the tinker bell pixe hollow fairies they have talents. The tracker talent is a secondary talent that a fairy can have so usually It goes like this:
But since porcupine is not a full fairy she only has the tracker talent
She is very close with her dad but she is a workaholic so she doesn’t get how he can lay down and relax in the sun like a mad man
I like to think of her dad as like a cousin/sibling of coach hedge and is very short, but unlike his cousin/sibling is very chill(the dude can knit a full sweater that can fit his very large daughter and wife in under an hour though so who holds the real power here)
Unlike most satyrs her connection with nature is more of the chaotic Fay type or that of a predator or hunter than a preserve nature type(good hunters understand ecosystem management and the importance of fire and death in nature, unlike some people, looking at you California with your terrible absolutely no wild fire policy)
If coach hedge is her uncle I think he would mention her in random conversations quite often but no one believes she exists, hedge once told grover about her and grover thought he had finally gone mad
When other satyrs meet her it’s like “:o”
And when other tracker fairies meet her it’s more like “ha short”
Very quiet, stoic, a bit of a brick wall
Has the same vibe as a moose(if you know you know)

Ok so I need to vent about something here. I've been playing assassin's Creed: Odyssey and I have two complaints that make me angry.
1) WHY ARE THERE CACTI IN ANCIENT GREECE!!!! Cacti are a plant that almost exclusively grows in the Americas and at the time of ancient Greece why do the islands have cacti.
2) I don't really know how to feel about how they portray Persephone and Hades relationship. So I have stoped calling Persephone, Persephone and have instead been calling her bitch
3) I want more quest lines with Cassandra / alexiosis family. It's like you finish the main quest line then they're just lieutenants. That's it. I want family drama! I want Cassandra alexios and stentor to have a awesome sibling bonding adventure! I feel like the main character and Nikolaos need a better story together! AND WORT OF ALL WAS MYRRINE she was a badass mom and now that the story is over she is shoved to the side never to be seen again.
In summary my love floral culture has stained one of my favorite games. Persephone is a bitch and the game really likes to remind you that she is a prisoner and that Hades is the worst husband ever. And finally the family is an underutilized part of the game and we need some side quests with them they would be so much fun.
You know sometimes I think I'm faking my autism and sometimes I'm sitting in a hotel lobby just trying not to have an anxiety attack because my grandpa wanted the room to get cleaned, ruining my plan to draw on my iPad and relax and now I'm in a over and under stimulated limbo and my interest in anything has completely vanished.
ESHONAI IS OK!! I have been on tumblr (finals!) so I just saw this! I’m so happy you added more, your writing and world building are amazing!
While reading this I was reminded of the funny idea I had that was the original inspiration for the bear on her hammer and made me want to draw the armor. (Spoiler warning for wor just in case)
It’s basically that when Szeth first try’s to assassinate Dalinar, after the battle between szeth, Adolin, Dalinar, and Kaladin. Hesina and maybe Lirin somehow witnesses szeth and kaladins one on one portion at the end. Of course before Szeth runs away Hesina gos full mama bear and chases Szeth back into the palace while lirin goes all surgeon/worried dad mode on Kaladin.
Here’s the vision. The terrifying assassin in white is flying through the castle straight toward the kholins!
Oh no he must haven't defeated Kaladin and is back to finish the job! But nope he wins past them and quickly turns a corner.
A couple seconds later Hesina in full shardplate and hammer, glowing and moving the freaking stone under her and she goes “Where is he.” In that terrifying voice that warrants a close up on the eyes.
I mean at that point you just point to where Szeth went and hope you soil your pants! Of course Hesina gives a polite thank you and she’s back to running and yelling about how Szeth will pay for what he did to her precious baby boy Kal! (The more embarrassing the nickname the better)
Bonus points if this is most of the kholins first interaction with Hesina and even Shallon and Adolin don’t recognize her at first with the helmet on.
So yea this is what gave me the idea for all the bear elements and to design the armor. Well this and the way she pushed Adolin to get to Kaladin. Although if I’m being honest the “Mom” moment was want inspired me in the first place this idea came while sketching.
More from the Hesina Willshaper AU. Specifically Continued from Here.
while hesina and Lirin were travelling with the band of freed slaves the two were loosely in charge, but decent enough at delegating that other people quickly took on major leadership rules.
erk. gonna need a bunch of ocs
layla, 8th dan before being sold to pay family debts. quartermaster/ house steward role. roughly same age as hesina. worked mostly as a house slave.
she had actually managed to half pay off her slave price, something she gripes about for laughs, she could have bought cool stuff with that money. most of the money came from the child she had, who was sold as a baby, wouldn't be able to find it if she wanted to, and she's not even completely sure she does.
layla is fascinated by different peoples religions, languages, beliefs...she's met people from a surprising number of countries working as a lighteye's servant. mostly self taught reading, hesina teachers her to write. hesina and her talk a lot about religion and philosophy. one of the few people who doesn't put hesina on a pedestal. hesina's first squire.
it seems that the squire rules are different for each order. i'm wildly but confidently headcanoning that willshapers get exactly ten, and they can tangibly feel each squire bond being formed.
willshapers have an interesting relationship to Connection. Connections can free you. Connections can become chains. best to be aware. either side of the willshapers squire bond can break the connection at any time.
(willshapers also have an interesting relationship to Oaths. Oaths can very definitely become chains. they just... i mean oaths still matter, but they don't take breaking them as seriously as some of the orders. circumstances matter. people grow. the spren once vowed not to bond with the singers again, and yet...it's been millenia. The lightspren are thinking. Things have changed.)
they're not freeing people because they made an oath. They made an oath because they chose to free people.
-
Ruush, 5th dahn before being enslaved for refusing to follow orders. One of the only ones with actual military training, though his leg was broken and healed wrong, meaning that he could only train, not fight, until he became hesina's second squire and healed.
Often Lirin's guard. Only 15 years younger than Lirin, but has for sure called him dad. Lirin calls him son and tries not to lecture him too much on being a soldier.
Ruush is mildly bemused by the entire concept of pacifism (Not common among Alethi!) and listens very patiently, with genuine if slightly abstract interest. i mean, you gotta admit, violence does beget violence. wild. anyway, back to work.
Has heard enough stories about Tien and Kaladin that he pretty much thinks of them as his brothers.
When kaladin and him finally meet kal is... mostly cool with that (sure, this might as well happen. can't have too many brothers). but there is significant disagreement over who's oldest.
-
shortly before making it to Urithiru oathgate they run into the listeners. layla and ruush hastily throw up some walls between them while Hesina tries to communicate that she comes in peace. The listeners scramble to get Eshonai to translate.
it takes some time to talk. the translation process with the council of five. mistrust on both sides. lirin gives an impassioned speech about wanting to be free from violence, and some listeners swear they could almost hear the man attuning to the rhythm of hope.
Eshonai gives her plate and blade to Thule before traveling to Urithiru. Venli calls her a fool. The council approves. This might be their one last chance.
Eshonai returns full of enthusiasm. This is it. They could escape. They would still need gems to make the fields grow, but the Neshua Kadal leader women and her mate have been robbing other humans blind while traveling. This could work.
-
Venli presents her own radical idea, storm form, a form of power.
Maybe two thirds of the listeners take the chance on Urithiru.
A third stay on the shattered plains to fight for vengeance to the bitter end.
-
Listeners slightly outnumber human population. People learn quickly that any violence gets randomly duplicated, which Lirin is weirdly smug about. Eshonai spends a lot of time on language lessons.
After sitting down and talking it out, they eventually decide to make a council of ten — 5 humans, 5 listeners. Hesina's lightspren is given the deciding vote if they tie.
They need each other too much to operate separately, even if the place is technically big enough.
Over the course of a month they actually settle into a decent routine. There's some mistrust, but Eshonai manages to explain fairly eloquently why they decided to kill the king, fearing being enslaved by the return of the gods
yeah the humans can get that. we don't really care about the king anyway.
the parshendi were shocked by how brutally and disproportionately the Alethi responded
tell me about it. i once scratched a window and was beaten until i couldn't walk.
Really, things are promising, common ground, willingness to move forward together.
-
Layla draws her own lightspern to much rejoicing, reaching the third oath, so now they can move between the oathgates without worrying about leaving people trapped in Urithiru without Hesina.
Eshenoi swears her own first oath!! even more rejoicing!!! listener and dark eyes going together into the future freely and equally.
if only they could convince Venli's revenge splinter group to join them. of course everyone wants vengeance but... they want to live more. they want to live for more.
the 'stormform' group is going to get themselves killed. and if somehow they don't... fear grows that the songs, the warnings about forms of power — they were for exactly this moment but what are they going to do? attack their own people?
The radiants alternate going out on a few more raids, freeing more slaves. They also bring stolen parchmen now, which they had mostly decided to leave behind in past raids, as they wouldn't really help in their own escapes at all, and everyone felt bad continuing to treat as slaves even if they come with, but they just...stand there. The Listeners are continuously baffled by them.
Some humans think about another few thousand years of their children and their children's children and their children being tenth dahn eternally ... they know humans who are dead behind the eyes and stormfather. If you bred for that...

(a storm is coming and things are going to get messy but those who were there will look back on these months and know how important they were. when the lighteyes come and the singers come things will change. but for a moment there was something beautiful and almost pure. and those foundations will matter more than anyone could possibly imagine)
In this AU Jason and Saoirse are the first of Bruce’s kids to get married but the second to have kids. and I truly believe the type of father that Jason Todd would be, not just in my AU but in most media would be Bob from Bobs Burgers.
Like in my AU they get Married around 23-25, but they do not have kids until they’re 30. and yes there kids would act like the Belchers. I mean if tired dad Jason had a kid like Louise he would firmly believe that his kid is karma for all he has done.
and just imagine a family of superhero's and Gene who is not a vigilante but he is a cheerleader. and Tina just an emotional anxiety filled tween who freaks her family out even though she is also not a vigilante. and Louise would absolutely be Robin and she loves playing roller derby, but I think her Batman should be her uncle Tim. obviously they wouldn't have the same names or the exact same personality but you get the idea
I personally think there names should be Lynn as the oldest, Donald but people call him Danni, and finally Cecile.
I keep thinking of this au. Like in the last ever after when Merlin showed up I totally thought Morgan would at least get a mention but sadly no she did not. What’s worse is that thematically she fits perfectly in the story, she is everything Sophie is supposed to be. I really hate the strict line between Evers and Nevers like it just gets repetitive as the story goes on and forces characters to never learn and grow. Morgan le fey could be a character who originally is an Ever but turns into a Never before finally growing as a person and just is herself refusing either classification.
She even has a connection to Avalon and was the one who brought Arthur there when he died! Like that’s potential right there. I also think that the reason she didn’t like guenavire was because she was cheating on Arthur with Lancelot but I’m also pretty certain that after her redemption off screen she just stoped caring because to be honest she didn’t really like Arthur all that much to begin with.
The books mention lands outside the schools influence so I In this au I also have her get married and have children with the son of the sugar plum fairy. Which is a title rather than a single person.
alright so I just finished all six books in the school for good and evil and my brain in buzzing with au’s already. like I kind of wish that Morgan le Fay was in there. like it would be hilarious that the sister to the great king Arthur with how he is portrayed in the book has a this crazy prankster of a sister just running around and causing chaos. I know a lot of people see her as a evil sorceress but I like her as a loony tunes like villein or a trickster. witch makes her off screen redemption arc extremally funny. like in the original(not sge) green knight story the entire purpose that he is there is because Morgan thought if the green night got his head cut off Guinevere would see it and just die. like that is so stupid, but I love it!
Edit: spelling and contradiction correction
I love making us an ocs it’s part of my enjoyment of media sometimes there story altering and change huge chunks of the story and sometimes there small joke ocs that have little to no baring on the plot, and sometimes there an oc that is active in the story but the plot doesn’t change all that much.
Like my ATLA oc Mebh in the context of the show she has very little say in the story. And that on purpose I love avatar and I wouldn’t want to change it in a au and risk butchering it’s themes and story. After avatar and lok however are free rain in my mind. So here’s my atla au.
The spirit would in my mind is a bridge between other worlds it has many connections to many different places
One of those places is the world of the avatar and then there’s the world of witch’s
Mebh grew up in this world where magic and spells rain supreme, but magic is extremely difficult and laws limit it’s use to the upper classes with people having to go to extremely expensive schools and gain permission from the raining sovereign to practice magic
Mebh is a lower class girl from a small town
In the beginning of the series we would know nothing about her backstory just know she practiced magic illegally and got stuck in the world of avatar along with her familiar a owl griffin named peaches
Lost she runs into Zuko and Iroh during the first year of his banishment, she saves there lives from something and iroh decides to help her and she joins them on the ship
Mebh doesn’t ever help zuko on his journey to find the avatar, even after they find aang, but she never hinders it she just there to hangout with iroh and go through iroh therapy
She’s not really out of place and you can just assume for the most part that she’s a non bender with a weird look
She has light red hair that she keeps in two long braids and her clothes are a mix of fire nation, earth nation, and a earasaid so yea she stands out
Before the raid of the northern water tribe her magic is hinted at but due to how different it is she still only practices it In secret but now with the help of iroh who helps her figure out spells and magic
During the raid on the northern water tribe she mostly stays with iroh until the moon spirit scene
Mebhs people hold the moon in very high regard and credit it as there patron so when general zhao kills it she immediately attacks him with magic and only stopping when aang and the ocean spirit work together
After this her secret is out and she uses magic a lot more
Peeta is done! Here they are together! I literally never draw men so this was a challenge.
Hahahahaha!!!
perfect normal nuclear family
update: this is on INPRNT now. you could have this beautiful family in your house
Toast Babies re-design
More info under cut
Not much has changed from my first post
Willow is still silly and can sleep anywhere but that’s from being basically nocturnal
Willow and Paul silver are still 5years apart but there’s only 1 year between Paul and Jolene Pearl
Paul Silver usually goes by Paul or Paul silver if you want to be fancy but Jolene Pearl almost exclusively goes by Pearl
Personality’s
Willow: her heads in the clouds, her favorite word is “what?”. Silly and likes to make jokes and will explain things using references to tv and video games. If Star Trek survived she would be a HUGE Star Trek fan. Made the poor decision of deciding to study chemistry and mechanical engineering. Is good at it but it made her already bad sleep schedule worse. Scared of spiders and most wildlife. Forever the shortest at 5’4 max. Closest with her dad.
Paul: LOVES NATURE. Is the most talkative of the three but can’t lie for shit and was always the first to crack under pressure. Now is a combination of Huey and Webby. Always an optimist and usually has the knowledge to back it up. Want to work in forestry in 12. Katniss is his troop leader. Always has a backpack(not pictured above) that somehow has everything you need no matter how strange. Love’s history and art as well. The tallest at 6’1 and is taller than Peeta. Closest with his mom
Pearl: is the only allistic of the three. Really sassy and always has a good comeback. Resting bitch face + her mother’s scowl. The most combative and angry, she is the bully’s bully. Loves talking about fashion and makeup with Effie but is actually closest to her pawpaw Haymitch. Is in ballet, does theatre, and opera. She has the best singing voice and the best at designing and frosting cakes. Gets to be 6’0 also taller than Peeta.
All three: have skill in art from painting with dad. Have at least 4 baking recipes memorized. Can shoot a bow and arrow but skill varies(Pearl is the best). Will make fun of each other mercilessly.
