Hi! I Hope You Don’t Mind, But I Am Back With Another Request. I Loved The Request You Drew Of Carla

I know you already voiced your opinion on Carzel (Carla x Marzel), but what’s your opinion on Elena x Marzel?

Elena x Marzel seems cute. They're both stubborn, they both love their families, and they both are learning how to be good rulers and doing a pretty good job so far. All the scenes with them interacting are always pretty fun, so they seem compatible. They both had their biases about each other at first, but they became good friends pretty quickly. Elena taught Marzel a lot about land stuff (and those scenes were always hilarious). Plus, he gets along with Francisco, which is an added bonus.

Politically, it probably would be beneficial? It would likely strengthen human Serena relations. Although geographically I don't think they'd be able to merge Avalor and Coronado, so they'd have to figure out which of their possible heirs would inherit each Kingdom, but that probably wouldn't be too much of an issue. I definitely don't think either one would have to move to a new location permanently. (Elena is so magical now I feel like spontaneously getting water breathing powers would be expected at this point.)

In “Team Isa” we are shown that Gabe's family has a dog, and it is a very good dog.

Thank you so much for the sketch! It’s wonderful as always. The costumes are wonderful. I love Victor’s sombrero and Carla’s flower wreath. What style is her hair in? Is it down? And I’m certain it is emotional for them. We don’t know much about Victor’s family or his relationship with them, but regardless, I can see Dia Muertos being emotional for them. Though I also think that Victor would love telling Carla stories about his parents/family, and that she would love listening to them.

You're welcome, I'm so glad you like it!

Yes, her hair is down, I was trying something different with the line style, so it's a little hard to tell. So it's basically styled like a regular hairstyle, except without the braid so the back of her hair is down. I love his sombrero too, Victor in hats is a very good idea.

I have no idea what Victor's relationship would be like with his family (Well, no one does because it is never clarified in the show, but that's besides the point). I've always sort of headcanoned that he had a strained relationship with them. Not abusive or anything, but just that his parents were probably really busy with other stuff and couldn't really pay too much attention to him as a kid and that could be one of the reasons for why he started doing troublesome things, to try and get attention. So the most common times they would focus on him was when he got in trouble and they would give him punishments and be annoyed at him. He resented that and they never really patched that up.

I mean, yes, Victor specifically references his father being royal treasurer, and yet he never mentions him again. It doesn't seem like he's in contact with him at all, and it could be because he's dead, but then why wouldn't he ever reference any other relatives? In the song Way Back When, it seems like other than Ash being there at some point, Victor and Carla were living alone.

Victor specifies that Shriki banished “[him] and [his] family” and he must have been referring to his birth family because Esteban didn't recognize Ash or Carla when he first saw them. I've always thought that Victor's father must have been loyal to the King and Queen of Avalor, and when he realized his son had a hand in the assassination, Victor was disowned. Their relationship was already strained and Victor presumably got them banished as well, so that was the last straw.

So then when Victor has a kid, he's like, “OK, I'm definitely going to pay a bunch of attention to her and make sure that she always knows that she's appreciated.” Which, you know, he mostly succeeds at, but he's not entirely perfect, no parent is.

Although it could be closer to what you say and he actually had a really good relationship with his family. But then I have to wonder why he wouldn't ask them for help raising Carla when he was on his own. Or why they wouldn't try and stop him from doing crime. Who knows, maybe his parents didn't disown him, but they couldn't survive being banished, and maybe that worsened Victor's resentment of Esteban? So yeah, then he would say nice things about them to Carla, but they wouldn't be there to help him raise her.

Or maybe he was in a similar situation to Esteban, where he projected that he had a worse relationship with his family than he actually did and it was only after he got older that he realized it wasn't that bad? And it could be like either one of the other two scenarios, but would he say nice things about them to Carla once he realized that. But there are probably even more different possibilities than this that I'm not even thinking of right now.

If Elena of Avalor characters had Pokémon: Part One

I was inspired by @dittomander post about this and I've been thinking about this for a while, so here are some of my own headcannons for their Pokemon:

Princess Isabel - Bronzor - Isa was so excited to get her starter, she's always thought that steel types are really cool and was so happy that the local place where you get your starter pokémon had one. It uses its psychic abilities to help her carry around large pieces of scrap metal and equipment so she can make even bigger inventions. She got her starter on the same day that Christina got her starter and that is how they met and became friends. (They are also technically rivals but friendly rivals, like Hop or Nemona. It eventually becomes a Bronzong, and Elena pointed out how perfect it is for her because it looks like a bell, the perfect Pokemon for her sister IsaBEL, and Isabel replied to her with the most exasperated sigh you've ever heard.

Luisa - Slurpuff - When she was a girl working in her parents’ chocolate shop, it was always surrounded by Swirlix, and she would feed extra chocolate to them. When she was old enough to have her first Pokémon, she chose one of those little guys. She then taught it to play Olaball with her, which after it learned how to bounce the ball without it getting stuck to its fur, it really enjoyed. Eventually it became a Slurpuff after she did a trade-tradeback with Francisco. It also enjoys helping her with baking, but Luisa has to make sure it doesn't eat all of the cookies before they finish them.

Francisco - Roserade - As a kid, he was always challenging people to Pokémon battles and going off through forests and beaches with his Roselia looking for adventure, leading into his adventures with Los Tres. He found a shiny stone for it on one of his last missions with Los Tres. Even when he stopped adventuring, it still reminded him of the past, in a good way. Nowadays it helps him with gardening.

Esteban - Phione - He found it when he was sailing to a political meeting. It was clinging to the side of the ship and it looked really hungry so he sort of picked it up and fed it and then it wanted to be his best friend forever. He hasn't realized it's a mythical Pokémon yet. A person will just come up to him like, “Wow, isn't that a super special pokémon?” and he's like “Yes, all my pokemon are super special to me.”

Armando - Banette - Armando was a lonely child and his brother didn't make that any easier for him. So sometimes, in his spare time, he would make puppets. But when his brother found out he said that it was a stupid hobby and threw them out. Armando was devastated until the next night when his puppet came back, but as a Pokémon! It had helped him with his farm chores and when he grew up and got a job at the palace it could help carry around extra scrolls. But its favorite thing to do with Armando is helping him with the puppet shows he performs for the kids, (it is technically a puppet after all). It can help levitate props or move around extra puppets or even perform in the shows itself. Some people think it looks pretty spooky at first, but soon they realize that it's just as kind and sweet as its trainer.

Doña Paloma - Swanna: This flying type is quite skilled at battling (because losing Pokemon battles means giving up your money to the winner) but Paloma would rather defeat other trainers in pokemon beauty contests, of which she and Swanna are famous for winning. Paloma also makes use of the move fly to get around town, because you have to be fast when you're in business!

(17 more under the cut)

Carman Guzman - Morpeko - It has the least picky taste of any other Pokemon in town and would happily eat anything Carman cooked for it regardless of the quality, much to her delight and her brother's annoyance.

Julio Guzman - Lurantis - He is very proud of how bright and colourful its leaves look and takes special care to make sure it is healthy and well-groomed at all times. He entered it in a Pokemon contest once, and it beat Doña Paloma’s Swanna. She will probably hold a grudge against him forever.

Marlena - Skeledirge: It’s able to sing along quite well to her songs and gives the performances extra fire! Many people think it looks scary before they get to know it, but quickly learn that it’s sweet and friendly. (Marlena can relate to Armando about this.)

Higgins - Wooper (Galarian): Wooper is a precious good little bean and is perfect for Higgins. Higgins buys/makes little hats for it to match any funny hats that he wears. Wooper loves wearing hats and always rides on his shoulder.

Ixlan - Tynamo: Ixlan used to have another Pokemon before being sealed away, but that one is long gone by the time they are freed. So instead the Lightning Warrior finds a tiny little Tynamo and declares that it has a mighty spirit and they will train them to become a powerful lightning warrior as well. Even though it's quite small and weak, the Tynamo is very determined to become strong and takes great joy in every Pokemon battle it’s in.

Antonia - Leavanny: Leavanny was quite good at helping Antonia with tailoring work and when it found out about her dream of becoming a guard it learned Leaf Blade and Swords Dance to help her with fencing.

Tomiko - Klefki - She is so enthusiastic about her Pokémon she won't even challenge you to a Pokémon battle, she'll just pull it out like “Look at my Klefki, isn't it amazing?!” Metalworking is her hobby and she makes a bunch of keys for it to hold.

Felicia - Oricorio: Back in her heyday, where she was performing dance for people with her husband it was normally in Baile Style performing along with them. But after her husband went to the spirit world as they say, she had it in Sensu Style hoping that maybe it could connect with his ghost.

Rafa de Alva - Oinkologne - It is just as headstrong and diligent as its trainer when it comes to keeping things organized a certain way. It was very good at helping Rafa look after Mateo when he was a baby.

Roberto Núñez - Heatmor - It's actually pretty lazy. It'll normally just curl up on the floor of the bakery and have a high temperature nap. Roberto often brags that out of all the bakeries in town, he doesn't need to pay for coal or firewood because he has a Pokémon that can naturally cook the bread for him.

Blanca Núñez - Dachsbun: Roberto got it for her after they got married and she just loves this little bread dog. She takes it on walks in the park every afternoon and it has become the bakeries unofficial mascot.

Daniel Turner - Pelipper: It helps him deliver messages to sailors on other ships. When Naomi was really small she would climb on its beak to ride it, which would always end in chaos.

Scarlett Turner - Crawdaunt: Even though this type of Pokemon is normally notoriously difficult to train, Scarlet was more than up to the challenge. Sailors far and wide know about Scarlett & her pokemon's battle prowess, on land and the sea.

Antonio Agama & Pablo Agama - Solrock & Lunatone: Found them both at the old rock that they used to play at when they were kids. After they grew apart anyone who pointed out that they had similar Pokemon to each other would be ignored immediately. Using their psychic/rock abilities, they make it easier to find artifacts in ruins to study (or steal).

Professor Mendoza - Excadrill - It carefully helps her unearth ancient treasures. Its expression naturally looks pretty tough, but whenever it finds something in the dirt it will just look up so expectantly like “look I did it I found something!” Mendoza is very proud of it, even when it turns out that all they found was just an old tree root.

Professor Ochoa - Emolga - She is definitely the kind of professor who would be giving young trainers their starter Pokémon. Emolga usually rides around on her head and helps her whenever her experiments need an extra spark of energy.

Octavio - Aggron: Octavio first found it when it was just a tiny little Aron eating up some scrap metal after he'd done a repair job, so he decided to take it along with him and feed it any other scrap metal he had. Over the years because of its good diet as well as moving around heavy things to assist Octavio with his job, it's actually become very very strong. Any kids looking to have a quick battle should really think twice before they try challenging these two.

If Mateo was able to make the Jaquin potion in the show, then his grandfather probably did as well decades beforehand. So maybe “Shapeshifters” wasn't Elena's first time being a jaquin...

Her parents were pretty startled when she knocked the potion onto herself but she still had a nice day spending time with her cousin while Alacazar made the reversal potion.

Hi! I just want to let you know that I’m a hug fan of your EOA artwork! Whenever I see that you’ve posted more art, it always makes my day! I’m a little nervous to ask, but do you take requests? If so, do you draw ship related artwork? I’m really sorry if you feel uncomfortable with my asking these questions.

Thank you for the compliment, you made my day! 💖

Do I take requests? Well I guess I could start taking requests if you had some, but it would depend on the request. I'm not doing any kind of special request meme or anything right now, but if someone were to request me something and it was an idea that I would approve of, I might draw it. 

And ships...well I guess if I liked the ship I could draw it. Although you'd  also have to give me an idea for what you wanted the characters to be doing/poses you'd want them to be in, because I am rubbish at coming up with ideas for how characters act when they're being in a ship. 

And I'm fine with you asking questions so politely like this! I ask tons of questions to people that are like these as well.

Have you ever eaten Lilac flowers? They are edible!!

Really? Oh wow I did not know that, I do eat a lot of edible flowers, leaves, and berries that I pick when I’m outside. So next time I have the opportunity, I might just try that out.

Hiya Blue! Love your fics, and the ones for these prompts have all been amazing! How about the Delgados wizard training with Mateo with the prompt "Whatever you do, do not turn around."

Thank you! Okay this was a little hard but here it goes:

"I just learned something new about Delgados." The door slammed into a wall and closed themselves back, as Mateo bursted into her office. He collapsed heavily on a chair opposite to hers and pressed the ice patch to his head. "Pro-tip, whatever you do, do not turn around when one of them holds a tamborita and you can't see the other."

Naomi rised her brows at him weighing in her mind if she should yell at him for barging so unceremoniously in, pulling her away from her work, or ask about what lead him to this conclusion. Eventually her curiosity won.

"I suppose there's some story behind this thought?"

Mateo groaned, putting the compress over his eyes.

"Let's just say undergoing a resocialization process doesn't stop them from engaging in the prank war. And they have Flo on their side."

Mischievious sparks glinted in Naomi's eyes as she shoved away some document she'd been working on and leaned across the table, propping her chin on her hand, a wide cat-like grin stretching across her face.

"Oh you have to tell me the details."

Mateo sighed and folded his arms.

"It's a long story." Mateo frowned a little, thinking about his destroyed perfect afternoon. "But basically, you know that I have a few potted plants in my workshop, right? I think they really add to the interior, you know, make it more lively and help with circulation of the air, I prefer to be able to breathe comfortably in the room I spend most of my days in and-" Mateo stopped seeing Naomi's fake yawn. He pierced Naomi with a glare but when he realized it didn't have any effect on her, he cleared his throat and continued.

"Anyway, I haven't noticed anything at first, we just went on with the class everything was fine. Except that somehow my workshop kept changing. And I mean not in any significant way, but something was off, you know? Well, it took me over an hour but I finally figured out what it was."

Naomi leaned in a little closer, feeling the story was reaching it's climax. Mateo hid his proud smile at that view.

"You remember my plants? Well - they kept changing it's places." Mateo threw his hands around as if to add more dramaturgy to his finale. "Every time I looked at Carla, who messed something up - I'm now sure she were doing this on purpose - Victor would change their places, and Evey time Victor would mix the malvago spells with the wizard ones, Carla would change their place again."

Mateo took the ice compress from his face to see how big of an effect his story had on Naomi. But Naomi just stared at him, brows raised highly and her grin fallen into a single line.

"That's it?" She asked after a long moment of silence. "They just changed places of a few plants in your workshop? There's no real magic involved there, just simple sleight of hand, you know, something Victor Delgado is actually known for?"

Mateo turned his head away from her, making a stereotypical offended face.

"Well I'm sorry I can't tell if the same way to happened, I suppose you'd just have to be there."

"Well, then what even happened that you had to go to the medic?" Naomi finally pointed at the compress he was pressing to his head. Mateo's first answer was a frown.

"let's just say that Victor's levaluq and five flower pots, going right above my head were not a good combination."

Silence fell onto them again, before Naomi bursted out laughing. She was laughing so hard, she had to lean back from her chair. When she finally calmed down a little, she stood up and came to Mateo to put her hands on his shoulder.

"Your student messed up a spell and thrown and actual pot on your head? It's the best story I've heard all week."

I suppose that's it! This was actually quite hard to come up with for me, but I hoped you still enjoyed it. Thank you for your request!

Prompt list #1

Prompt list #2

What gave you the idea on Victor and Ixlan becoming friends?

Hi Anon, months ago when The Lightning Warrior came out I was really pleased and inspired by it (I still love that episode, it's probably my favorite). So then I started thinking about how, in a way, their current situations were kind of similar. Both of them had been magically sealed away and out of the loop for quite a while (relatively speaking) before they were both added to team Elena. And afterwards I feel like both of them would have some difficulty adjusting to it, so they would have that in common.

Even though they were reformed, people would still probably be pretty wary of Victor and Carla since they were wanted criminals for so long, so it would probably take quite a while for most people to warm up to them. But Ixlan wouldn't have that problem, the first time she met them they both saved her from imprisonment and then saved her again from a giant monster. (Also I like to think that after the battle with the Moyacu they finally had lunch, and even though the food was kind of cold by then, Ixlan really enjoyed it. And she probably drank it straight out of a pot without a spoon after they had gotten their own bowls because why not? It's faster that way.).
