Based On A Real Conversation I Had With My Brother Just Now. Which Means You Can Do The Dragon Tier List

romance is lame and overrated i love mentor/mentee relationships in fiction and especially when theyre sort of fucked up

If you follow Selmers to the poetry society meeting in Night In The Woods, this is her poem. I loved it and the themes of the game, and wanted to use it as practice to see if i can control the way readers ‘hear’ the words through images.

Dont mess with agatha

Just a quick sketch, the gargoyle scene in book one, but modern au

miles is taller than 42-miles because of his spider bite. This is like when your younger brother have a grow spurt and now are slightly taller than you.

I TRIED IM SORRY BUT LIKE---

Extremely specific character appearance headcanons

I’ve done stuff like this before but this is REALLY specific and also updated. kate compensates for her lack of artistic talent. again. 

agatha

very angular– sharp chin, long and pointy nose

long, bony limbs and hands, v tall but she slouches and has terrible posture. 

flat and pretty much completely lacks curves 

I think this is canon but very flat, inexpressive eyebrows. same for her mouth 

her eyes are a little uneven, but they’re protuberant and she has a slightly angry resting face as a result of that (and her eyebrows). her irises are so dark brown they’re nearly black.

lots of moles and birthmarks 

I always imagined her hair as shorter than a bob but I know most people don’t agree with me lmao

not an appearance thing but I always thought she’d have quite a deep voice 

bites her nails

her smile crinkles her eyes and makes her look a lot more approachable hence why everyone’s like “omg”

teeth are a bit crooked

she’s got a weird charm about her though, like she’s very striking

looks good in red, black, white and dark blue

looks ill in yellow, doesn’t like green apart from very dark shades, 

tedros

he’s very broad-shouldered and looks very solid and sturdy

yes, he has thick curly hair it’s CANON

it gets bleached in the summer and lightens a shade, usually it’s gold-blond but it leans towards white-blond if he’s out in the sun enough

obvs he’s got a chiselled face and jaw, but his nose has been broken in training before so it’s crooked. he hates it. 

a little bit acne-prone

very full mouth and big, earnest eyes and quite heavy eyebrows, but they’re a little bit arched

it makes him have a very approachable resting face, unlike agatha’s lmao

only smiles with teeth when he’s faking it (which, initially, was all the time) because he doesn’t like how his genuine closed-mouth smile looks much (it makes him look squishy n he hates it, agatha thinks it’s great)

bites the insides of his cheeks a bit bc it’s a stress thing that’s easy to hide

has lil freckles on his nose and cheeks

once he’s older he grows a beard bc he thinks it makes him look ~mature and responsible~ (it does, actually, but it doesn’t mean Agatha doesn’t make fun for a little bit first)

Sophie

her hair is very fine and light, (white blonde where tedros’s is gold) but it’s REALLY long, so she can do whatever with it (and kinda needs to, you’re doomed if you’re trying to run through the woods with waist-length or longer princess hair. put that shit in a braid)

she tries to pretend it’s naturally curly but it’s not, if you catch her early enough in the morning she’s still got curlers in 

short and curvy, it plays up the contrast between her and Agatha a lot

she’s got a really cherub-like face, round and really sweet, with like, very full lips and a little nose and stuff. no wonder everyone thought she was good. looks like a baby angel.

her eyes are a little bit catlike, kinda sly, don’t really fit w her face which makes sense lmao

has her nails super-long and painted, like talons. so she can tap them on things and sound scary and if she was ever inclined to, she’d probably poison them like that lady in Holes

dyes her eyebrows bc if she didn’t they wouldn’t be visible, and she can’t have THAT

when she was little her ears stuck out a bit and she HATED IT, she grew into it and it’s not noticeable anymore but she aims a hit at Agatha any time Agatha tries to bring it up

she’s got a chipped front tooth from when she fell over on graves hill one time, she claims it gives her character even though agatha insists it’s not even noticeable

About your au. I’d like to think Good has a bit of an easier time accepting that Agatha is Good because they heard about this Reader who journeyed from beyond the woods to their school for Sophie (who already has a reputation that she accidentally built while insisting she’s Good and pursuing Tedros)

Possibly yeah! without Agatha, Sophie's not convincing anyone she's in the wrong school, and since Readers come in twos it seems logical she'd be the Other One,,, then again idk if the Evers at this point would be convinced to be more generous towards her regardless, I don't see them looking at a strange, filthy girl purporting to be friends with the other strange girl as anything other than a 'ooh yes please take her away from us, thank you kindly' thing lmao. Perhaps there can be a side plot where Hester and Tedros are both like OH OH ME ME ME I'LL HELP YOU GO BACK TO GAVALDON IF YOU PROMISE TO NEVER COME BACK bc they've both had unfiltered Sophie all this time hsjddj

i think the main reason people dislike kabru is that they’re approaching dungeon meshi from the typical shounen protag framework where the main character is the moral authority and anyone who questions them MUST be a villain, but dungeon meshi is excellent at showcasing laios’ deep flaws and how he works to overcome them. from an outside perspective (kabru’s perspective) laios is dubious in morality and kabru says as much when he explains how laios is the only person he can’t seem to read. kabru doesn’t doubt laios because he’s plotting anything, he doubts laios because laios is a strange and offputting person who stumbles into a position of immense power and titular plot momentum, all of which kabru realizes well before anyone else, and which kabru also handles extremely apprehensively and delicately Because he doesn’t want to misjudge a strange but innocent man. basically if you dislike kabru you aren’t reading dungeon meshi right

In my head, it's the event itself. Agatha was meant to be in Good, and Sophie meant to be in Evil. And i wanted to explore that dynamic if they switch to the wrong schools.

Like- sure, Sophie would definitely ace those princess classes. But what about good deeds with Prof. Dovey. Or Sophie's relationships with other Ever students. I like to believe that ever students, as shallow as they seem, are still pretty good people. To show that Sophie shares some similarities with the other Ever students, but theres something not quite right with it.

Same goes with Agatha, fitting the look and excelling in the Never role, but also not enough.

Also- the concept that the SGE movie did pretty well, "I don't believe anyone is truly good or truly evil. But i know sophie wants to be good... And that should be good enough" The idea of character development for sophie. I mean, in book 1 it shows that at first sophie is doing good deeds out of selfish reasons, and later did a true act of good by saving agatha at the end. So its possible??

And maybe Nature vs Nurture concept, are the Nevers truly evil or were they raised that way? Because c'mon how did they keep losing for almost 200 years unless they aren't fully evil or smth idk idkk

It's interesting to think about the scenario where they realize their true nature in the wrong schools. And how that would affect the rest of the story.

Sorry about the rambling and messy thought process. This has been in my head for literal years now. Just hadn't had the chance to flesh it out.

But at the end of the day, this is also my self-indulgent Never!Agatha AU. And im giving book 1!tophie dynamic to this AUs tagatha, but its not doomed/JJ

What if the switch in the bridge was successful?

Callis and Agatha

We start with stars in our eyes. We start believing that we belong. but every sun doesn't rise, and no one tells you where you went wrong. - Waving through a window, Dear Evan Hansen.

I was just vibing then I heard this line and remembered that scene in TLEA where child!agatha smiled at stefan.

We already had the idea that agatha grew up with no friends, or worse got bullied. But thinking about it still hurts. Just sweet little agatha going up to someone asking to be their friend- only to be rejected. It hurts man, it really hurts.

.

Imagine Callis tho, whats her reaction? her thoughts?

"and i knew i'd come up short a million different ways, and i did, and i do, and i will" - So big/so small, Dear Evan Hansen.

This song. (minus the divorce part) makes me think of callis and her raising agatha. Imagine callis waiting for agatha to get home, expecting a happy, energetic kid babbling on about the bug she found on the way home, instead sees a really sad agatha covered in bruises and dirt.

.

This is so sad- they deserve better, thEY DESERVE BETTER!!
