Happy birthday to my favorite morally ambiguous cat!

March 28, 1899 🥳

Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰

Where's the rest of Marianne's family? What is her relationship with her brother (both when Marianne was young and now, when they're adults)?

Hi, thank you for the question! Sorry it took me awhile to answer life and procrastination got in the way 😅 but here we go:

So the relationship with her brother, Sebastian, has always been strong even as kids. Despite an 8 year age gap, Sebastian adored his little sister taking care of her (practically raising her) since their parents were always too busy with their own business deals.

They left their grandmother back in Còrdoba and the family had moved to Florida making their own arrangements in selling illegal wine.

While young Maríanne was in her own world, Sebastian was always suspicious of the men that would come around their house and chat with his parents. The young boy always had a feeling that things wouldn’t end well.

To this day, he hated how right he was…

As adults they went their separate ways. They still write letters to each other on occasion to see if the other is still alive and the update in each other of their daily lives.

However, the letters tend to get lost (sometimes) since running under an alias can confuse the mailman.

(Thank you again for asking this question I will get to your next one 🤧)

I love UTDM 😭😭❤️❤️ Lottie is so cute!!

Yay Little Lottie fan design!

Character belongs to @libras-interactives and thoughts behind design below

I was reading a vintage dancer article on children's clothes in the 1920s and saw this:

I thought it was so cute and silly that I wanted to draw a Little Lottie with it. But then I had to come up with a design for her. I followed the description in the text mostly, but I got snagged on the hair. It's described that she has a mark up to her forehead which implies you could see most of her face. but i thought having her hair somewhat covering her eyes would convey her personality better. So I compromised and did both at the same time. Maybe Lottie fixes it up for her, but she does that thing that kids do when they don't want their parents fussing with their hair and takes it down when Lottie isn't looking.

The handbag also reminded me of something I used to do when I was you and undiagnosed. I had a triangular metal lunch box I used to carry stuff around in because I liked having the things I needed near me when leaving my room. So I'm assigning little Lottie that trait.

The book she's looking at is The Velveteen Rabbit.

YOU ARE ALL AMAZING >:O ❤️✨

REBLOG if you have amazing talented artist friends!

😭 This is horrifying and yes, she would. The birds man. The birds are always out to get out dear snake girly.😭

when I say I have a trauma background everyone assumes I was abused or some shit. and to be fair I was. but mostly I am referring to the time a pelican put me in its mouth when I was three years old. my entire head was in there. the pelican seemed unbothered by the entire thing. and now I’m here

pennies and nickels :)

I’m currently working on something for Maríanne, hopefully when I find time during classes, I’ll finish it but we’ll seeee…

(Imma go sleep now 💃❤️❤️)

AHHHH THAT RING IS SO COOL! IT MATCHES HER SYMBOLISM SO WELLLLLLL AHHHHHH

Thank you for thinking of Maríanne 🥺❤️🥺

Assigning jewelry I found on Pinterest to my mutals' ocs

Amber kind of inspired this, as I kept seeing cool insect jewellery I think she would wear. I feel this one represents her though. It has a butterfly motif which Yancy has said sometimes represents Amber. I don’t know the exact size from the pic but it looks like it fits a bit tighter around the neck like a choker (which have a Victorian/Regency vibe to me) and the oval/circular pendant are also reminiscent of this. I also felt that there being multiple pendants also symbolizes her Chrysalis gang with the center pendant being her.

Benjamin is a small child and I don’t think hes super into jewelry at the moment but I saw this baby chic in an egg pendant that reminded me of him. The egg opens and has the chick inside so it has an interactive element that I think would be cool to a kid. Its very cute and innocent but the darker silver egg around it reminds me of Moredcai protecting him.

I haven't known Cassie and Bailey long and I’m not as familiar with them so I put them together, this one is mostly vibes tbh. They escaped a bad situation recently so a running rabbit was kind of symbolic of both the situation the ran away from. The rabbit being in a rectangular inset could also symbolize a cage. Bailey also has a bunny plush so it felt right. There are also two pearls attached to what I think is supposed to be a tree also represent Cassie and Bailey and them being part of the same family tree( siblings).

Luc already has kind of a signature jewelry which is his heart locket necklace. So this is a bit more of and this one stood out to me. Forget me nots of course symbolize everlasting love and remembering loved ones. The everlasting love makes me think of Katherine which can take on a sinister connotation as well. And remembering loved ones as reference to Luc starting to forget people as The Curse™ overtakes him. At least that what I think is happening from the cryptic tidbits of Luc lore 4U has posted.

Maríanne of course gets something snake themed. Its very straight forward snake with an apple for some of that original sin symbolism and trees, apples and snakes are a big part of her story. While this is a ring I really like the idea of this design as a bangle because it can also be a golden shackle. Really hone in on the snake going from a symbol of safety to one of entrapment.

Maura is a lover girl and I felt she needed something that wasn't to serious. So a simple pendant with a white flower and some young love symbolism fit her. I can imagine her fiddling with the pendant every time shes about to see Rocky.

Millicent reminds me of a bird always flying here and there, and pearls a lot for some reason. Shes very outwardly elegant and typically feminine so i wanted something that captures that. Though this broach is more reminiscent of a bug the wing motif is still there. If there was a bird on the back instead it would be perfect.
