I'm So Thankful That I Was Chosen To Be A Contributor To This Zine! All The People Working On The Zine

@saraahsapphire Was the one who came up with the Original AU idea, and it was so cute I just had to draw it. After we re-watched “Realm Of The Jaquins” together she said: “What if Victor and Carla became friends with Marimonda?” To which I replied “YES!” and drew this.

They are either plotting to take over the world with plants and friendship, or they have been reformed by this point, who knows?

Not too long ago, I was looking at your heartwarming artwork of Carla befriending the prison dog in your artwork! That’s such a wonderful idea! I feel like even post redemption Carla might go down every once in awhile just to visit the dog, who misses her company. I can even imagining Gabe having trouble feeding the dog, and all i of f a sudden Carla appears behind him and helps him approach the dog in a gentler way❤️ Your artwork is really inspiring!

Thank you so much for your kind words! And that sounds like a great idea!

 I feel like it would make logical sense that the dog is normally there in the dungeon when they have prisoners, not for the purposes of guarding it, but for the purpose of making sure the prisoner isn't lonely. I like to think that when Carla was imprisoned she got to take it out for walks when the guards were with her, and that she was later also given a rubber ball so she could play fetch with it.

A pairing I have heard suggested for Carla is Alonso. I feel like I really have to say no to that one. Like you said in a couple of your posts, Carla saw firsthand what happened between her parents. And a big part of what happened was because of Ash’s self absorbed and egotistical nature. So I think Carla would be weary of someone with those traits. Also, I’d like to point out that post reformation Carla is a very sweet, kind, caring girl. So I don’t think she’d be attracted to someone like that

I think Carla wouldn't want to spend time with anyone who is that self-centered, pre or post reformation if she didn't already care about them. (Although pre-reformation she would've totally hung out with him if it was for a scheme and would have swindled him of all he had).

October can’t come soon enough

Do you think Carla would ever style her hair differently from her usual hairstyle? (Personally I think she will ☺)

Yes of course! I'm sure she'd experiment with different hairstyles, especially during different festivals now that her life will be a bit more relaxed (And technically she already has tried out a different hairstyle when she was Rita, but that seemed to be more the potions doing anything else).

As for what style she might try... well she'd probably still use a lot of ribbons in her hair, because those seem to be part of her style. But maybe a style where her hair is down a bit more? (Or if Elena is going always wear her hair up now that she's queen she could always try the single ponytail look).

Bone spaghetti.

Oh no I have been give an anonymous ask about Bone spaghetti, and now I am compelled to answer the ask about the Bone spaghetti.

Bone spaghetti.

Queen Camila: Marzel, when was the last time you had a bath? Prince Marzel: Umm..Recently…. Queen Camila: If by recently you mean 2 weeks ago. Prince Marzel: Mom, I don't need a bath! Queen Camila: All right, you won't have a bath or dessert today. Prince Marzel: Fine, I'll take a bath! But I'm not going to like it!

She is wearing a long green and blue dress as well as large golden earrings and a golden diadem. Pili is a large orange-brown weasel, with a dark brown stripe running down his back and dark brown points on his paws and muzzle. Chatana is sitting down holding Pili in her arms. They are both looking to the right. The poses and composition of the drawing are based on Leonardo Da Vinci's “Lady With an Ermine.” End ID]
