Aww Thank You! I Honestly Think The Same Thing Of Your Page. I Love Looking Through It And I Love Your

When you get too English teacher-y and almost write symbolism of Kieran Valentine being a blade of grass

Kieran Valentine messing up era fashion and mixing them, or wearing something entirely wrong or outdated

One day, he wears a line of red lipstick down the center of his lips (because CA’s made him think it was acceptable). Spelldon has to be the bearer of bad news that no, it wasn’t a current trend, and no, people weren’t staring because they were into him

Kieran had been so disappointed (“what do you mean? You should’ve seen how much business this got me during the tang dynasty!”)

Amir and his family have been displaced 7 times since this war began, and are under threat of being displaced again. Two days ago Israeli planes dropped leaflets over their camp saying they would be bombing the area. It is already incredibly difficult to live in these conditions even without the threat of being bombed. Please help Amir and his family by donating so they can continue purchasing basic necessities for their family! (verified, #174)

Well well well

1. Val is an emotion WRECK like one of those people who cries about everything. He angry cries and happy cries and sad cries and cries for no reason

2. He definitely knows flower language and he uses it with bouquets and gifts for Spelldon but spells doesn’t know it and doesn’t even think about it so he’s just like “oh thanks Kier 😄” and never knows the secret message behind them

3. Valentine gets cold super really easy but Spelldon (being a grandson of Helios and all) is always warm so he just clings to him whenever they’re together. ESPECIALLY since Kieran can’t go into the actual sun

4. He CANNOT swim for the life of him

5. He can’t stay focused on one thing for long so he’s one of those people who talks with his hands and walks around while on the phone (which I think he does in WDGFIL but I haven’t seen it for a while). His leg is AGGRESSIVELY bouncing when he sits down unless he really tries not to. He always feels like he needs to be productive or needs to be DOING something and can’t just relax

6. He’s super impulsive and doesn’t really think things through when he does them.

7. he’s RIDICULOUSLY smart but he’s also REALLY DUMB. Like he is so good at ready people and conversation and people skills in general, and he loves biology (in canon) and the sciences and history and stuff, but he’s just completely clueless about life and small things in day to day life (he’s definitely killed a few house plants because he forgot they needed water)

8. He talks really fast

9. Since he doesn’t have to sleep he’s up all night just wandering or cooking

9a. I feel like he’d be really good at cooking but he cannot bake to save his life

10. He hates bugs and they freak him out. Every single one no exceptions. He physically jumps and scrambles away whenever he sees one. Spelldon thinks it’s the funniest thing ever

11. He counts in primitive Irish. It’s a thing that multilingual people count in their native language because it’s one of the first things you learn when you learn to talk.

don’t ever talk to me or my 4500000000 niche AUs ever again

How do you feel about the pride comic so far? :D

I actually hadn't sat down to read it until I got this ask, but the snippets I'd seen were ADORABLE. I'm writing this as I read it for the first time:

pg. 1: "Hypnosis was so much easier" HE WOULD! And him rehearsing with Whisp is so sweet. I love that they tied her and their friendship into the story more; I kind of thought she was done for good. Valentine hitting his face on the locker is SUCH a diary thing, too. I don't know if it was meant to be a callback or anything, but that's what it reminded me of. And Whisp saying "good luck!" while Kier is half-dead on the floor is PRICELESS. I love that he's still trying to make amends with Drac though.

pg. 2: Him blurting everything at once and then stopping to be all ✨composed✨ is perfect. UGH but the accent. Kieran, dear, she knows you're Romanian. I like the call back, though, and if you really look into it, it's a reflex because he's embarrassed and panicked. I LOVE the cut between him saying "it's fine" and him absolutely panicking, all zoned-out. It's such a simple thing that's meant to be comedic but it really shows us how he thinks and how vulnerable he is in a world without his prestige.

pg. 3 BIG SPELLDON REVEAL DUN DUN DUUUUUN!!! I love the small details of his character design that bring him to life, like the rings on his fingers and the mole on his lip. and the necklaces <3. Valentine IMMEDIATELY crumpling the paper in his big dramatic moment is so silly. And spelldon ignoring it and just taking a rose. It's such an easy, domestic kind of moment. And they're both so pretty ugh the close ups. "Like my soul" ok princess val 🙄 and spelldon worried, "You still love draculaura?" I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SPELLDON CAULDRONELLO

pg. 4: the moment of realization is priceless. Kieran is just in awe of this man. and Spelldon is just so enthusiastic about it (I love how he's just like 'this is dumb' but goes along with it anyway. Okay mr. malicious compliance). The height difference is also perfect to me. It makes sense that Spelldon is way taller because he's part (like 70% ish if I remember right from that time I did a pedigree) god. Casta's tall too isn't she? Valentine lost in his own little world ❤️ my little yapper.

pg. 5: Valentine trying to be over prepared, he's so me. And it's a nice (probably unintentional) callback to his diary where he says "better have it and not need it than need it and not have it." Spelldon's blunt humor is one of my favorite things ever. And him flattering Kieran about biteology >>> ugh they're so sweet. Val's facial expressions are so funny too he's so dramatic. Him trying to be humble and change the subject when Spelldon compliments him is so cute. AAAA they're so sweet.

pg. 6: Spelldon being all nonchalant while Val is literally falling over is so them. That is such a fun dynamic for them to have and I love it so much. I don't even know how to describe or "analyze" it because it just feels so naturally them that there's nothing to point out as "unusual." AAA Spelldon catching Val is such a sweet moment in the comic. Poor Val has his eyes closed, he can't even see Spell's face when it happens. And his hand is HOVERING over Val's back; he's not even touching him and he's blushing like that. I don't even think I need to mention the smirks (they're so precious)(Spells had an eyebrow slit this whole time and I just didn't see it??😭)

pg. 7: EEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAA Val you're going to give poor Spelldon a heart attack leave him alone. He's so dramatic clasping his hands like that. The mausoleum is really cute though, I approve. If I were a vengeful ghost, this would be my haunt (get it?). Spelldon having this whole plan thought out to get the ingredients when he's the one who thought it was a useless plan to start with 🤨 okay Spelldon we all see what you're doing. Especially since the whole plan is to get Val clinging to him. Scarah to the rescue!!! Not the return of the accent val STOP PLEASE. I'm glad they're talking about it, though. And he doesn't do it to spelldon 👀 because he's being himself with spelldon and doesn't feel the outside pressures to be someone else. He subconsciously knows that spelldon will accept who he is. Spelldon's face when Val admits that is priceless. BUT SPELLDON NOOOOOO WATCH OUT!

pg. 8: Val regretting the potion because he's in loooooove is so cute to see. "A couple thousand years" you want to spend a couple thousand years with your feelings for Spelldon awww. And he doesn't even act like he needs them to be reciprocated. Like, duh we all know what he's doing, but he never spells (pun unintentional but fully embraced) it out. The bracelet too from the Val's rose is a sweet little detail. Especially since they chose to give us THAT angle for that panel. They wanted us to see that in this moment. Valentine voicing his development is perfect. He really has grown and learned so much. SPELLDON WHAT?????? NOOOOO! and Val immediately regretting this whole thing because oh nooo Spelldon won't love him (🤨)

pg. 9: Okay Spelldon you trickster. "You really think i'd let you excise your emotions like that" (okay mom) "Yes? I asked you to!" Bro. That's super sweet though, he's been looking out for him this whole time, but couldn't just tell him no. Awww he wanted to spend time with him. AWWW VAL. I'm surprised Val didn't feel the love but maybe i've been reading his powers wrong. And then we have The Moment™ of course. Aww

pg. 10: Aw he and Drac made up. I'm glad they got closure from everything (the Pit Incident... and everything beforehand). WOAH val is so pretty, that turning panel??? Spelldon watching silently from the sidelines all proud. We have to remember that he met Spelldon BEFORE Whisp (and long before the two of them had their makeshift therapy sessions), and the day of the dance (where he failed his attempt to fix everything) from the original comics. He was still a mess then. He has been here since then, and got to see him grow. KIERAN VALENTINE FULL NAME RAHHHH COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS COME OUT AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN🇮🇪💪i'm glad they're pushing that because so many people think Valentine is his full name, it's actually crazy. Whisp wanting to meet Spelldon 👀 I need to see that now too! And Val ignoring her to hold Spelldon's hands, he's so clingy. I guess he has been this entire time with his yapping. And they walk into the sunset!!!

THE END!!!

I don't know if I wrote WAYYY too much, but I wanted to make sure I gave my full reaction (because lets face it, we've been starved for a while. thats why I got into fanfic like three-ish years ago). The notes got progressively longer as I went 😭

All in all I absolutely adore the comic. It's such a sweet glimpse into Valentine's growth and development, and I'm so glad to finally have a real Spelldon. The entire thing is such a good slice-of-life story that just feels calm and domestic and unforced, like there is no antagonist or unneeded tension to force things along. It's just Spell and Val.

If Spelldon and Valentine were to marry, Kieran would become Manny’s cousin in law

Random idea but Frankie’s heart in g3 actually belonged to Ellis’ father

When you’re looking for an open space in your note pad and find:

“…like a wicked form of Eros, not because Kieran was evil, but because in spite of all of Spelldon’s yearning, he would never be Psyche.”

Like???

(The general context is from a [probably] scrapped fanfic idea, when Pegasus is behind Kieran so it looks like he has wings)

Since I was embarrassingly wrong about Ellis being Valentine, I’LL SAY HES G3 SPELLDON INSTEAD

Spelldon, Casta, and Circe (as we know them wouldn't really work in g3 for a few reasons:

1) Circe is a goddess and g3 witches are human

2) casta wouldn't be a loved performer or known by the monsters because she'd be a human witch

3) their names are CASTA, SPELLDON, and CIRCE. Like that would not work they'd be bullied so hard a like what do you mean your teenage son living in the human world going to high school is named spelldon?

BUT Ellis works in place of Spelldon

He's the son of the queen of an extremely powerful and old witch coven, which could work in place of the goddess of witchcraft

GIVE ELLIS HIS VALENTINE PLEASE

Seeing people struggle to spell and pronounce Valentine’s first name is the funniest thing to me because it’s the reality for literally every Irish name ever
