Skylar - Blog Posts
Skylar! A young model who loves hanging out with friends is a shopping addict.
Surprise! It's Luna, Migs and Skylar as humans! (Because if a humans can take a potion to be a jaquin why not the other way around?)
Luna and Skylar both found ways to style their hair to make it look like jaquin ears, but Migs’s hair is too short, so instead they give him a cat ear headband which he is mildly annoyed about (but also isn't going to stop wearing because his kids like it). Migs is also wearing a guardian-style guard uniform because he always wants to look professional. Skylar dyed the tips of his hair blue because he likes the gradient. Luna was gifted some jewelry from Elena that looks like her spots and has been wearing it ever since. (Lineart under the cut)
I am drawing a picture of human!skylar and I am almost finished, I just need some help with the last detail:
Soooo I saw you're taking requests for mini fanfics 👀 Could I request something with Elena and Skylar? I really love their friendship :>
“¡Hola Reina!”
Elena knew that voice, she looked up from the scroll she'd been reading. “Hi Skylar-” But the words were cut off with a gasp. Instead of the blue and gold macaw jaguar she expected to see, before her stood a somewhat shaggy looking fellow with dark hair, bright eyes, and a golden & blue outfit.
“Wait, Skylar is that you!?” She exclaimed.
He shrugged his shoulders, looking around. “Skylar, who's Skylar? I'm uhh, Tylar, yeah, Tylar the totally normal human!” But the goofy grin on his face betrayed his attempt at a prank.
Elena leaned forward “Really? Hmmmmm, you certainly sound like him...are you SURE you're not Skylar?”
“Oh, come on I didn't recognize YOU when you were a jaquin!”
“Ha, well you still gave me a shock!” she replied, getting up from her desk, the paperwork could wait, this was important. “So, Mateo made you a human potion?”
He nodded “Yeah, I thought that if you could have such a great time being a Jaquin, then it's only fair that I try out being a human to see how fun it was. Come on, you can show me how to do human things!”
“Sure, I have some spare time, what kind of ‘human things' do you want to do?”
“Well, I’ve never gone shopping before, and if we go then I can get stuff for even more human activities! I saw some really cool looking musical instruments being sold at the market. If I got one for my own, then you could teach me how to play it!”
Elena clapped “Sounds like a plan!” They both walked out of the room and down the hall together. “The mercado gets pretty busy in the afternoon, so we better get going.”
He smiled “Then there's no time to lose, right?” They were at the top of a staircase, but instead of taking the stairs, Skyler climbed over the banister and jumped.
“SKYLER NO!” Yelled Elena, her fear magic kicking in and pulling him back up before he could hit the ground.
“Whoops, I forgot humans can't fly.” he said, looking slightly shaken from the realisation.
Elena caught her breath, calming her dress back down to red. “Yeah, it's a pretty unfortunate part of being a human.”
“I'll just go down the stairs the way they were meant to be.” He said, climbing onto the railing and using it to slide all the way down. Then he waved at Elena from the bottom. She shrugged and took the railing slide as well.
A while later, Elena and Skylar were walking down the busy street, carrying over a dozen shopping bags between them. With Elena paying for the two of them, they had both gone a little bit overboard with their spending but they were having such a good time, they didn't even notice.
Skylar pointed at the one building they hadn't visited yet. “Let’s go there!”
“Are you sure? That’s Doña Paloma’s emporium, shopping there might be pretty intense compared to everywhere else we've been.”
“But we're royalty, so that'll probably make things easier, right?”
“Possibly?” She said with doubt in her voice, but Skylar was already running through the door.
When Doña Paloma saw them both enter, she turned away from two of the other customers she had been talking with to give them her full attention. “Hello and welcome to my emporium, Queen Elena. And hello to you as well, I don't believe we've met before?”
Elena gave a wave that was weighed down by her shopping bags. “Hola Doña Paloma, this is-”
“I am a Prince from a distant Kingdom, and I’ve come here to do some shopping!” Said Skylar with a big smile. Elena noticed the touch of mischief in his expression.
“A Prince!” Her eyes lit up with the light of opportunity. “Well, hello there, your majesty.” She said with a bow “You have definitely come to the right place, my store carries a grander selection than any other in the kingdom! Here let me take you on the grand tour.” She took him by the arm and led him into her store.
“¡Gracias!” said Skylar putting down his bag before walking along beside her.
Elena followed along behind, as she realized this may have been a bad idea.
After what felt like hours Skylar had been shown so many interesting things that Elena had to hold him back from buying the entire store. But in the end he had selected a fair number of things to get, including a harp, an extra large bottle of paprika, and a shovel.
“An absolutely wonderful selection, your majesty. Thank you so much for choosing to shop at my emporium.” Exclaimed Doña Paloma, personally ringing up the goods at the till.
“You're welcome, your store is really cool! Adios!” replied Skylar once he loaded the final bag into the waggon he had also just bought and began to walk towards the door.
“Haha, wait a minute, Your Majesty, you have forgotten to pay for those.” She reminded him with a very forced smile.
He stopped “Oh, well I don't have any money.”
“You don't have any money!?” She looked shocked, but she quickly regained her composure. “Ah, so I see, His Majesty doesn't carry around any money, that is wise, you wouldn't want to get robbed. So, I assume you have a line of credit you could use?”
“What's credit?”
“You…you don't know what credit is?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll pay for the stuff.” said Elena,
But she ignored her “How do you not have any money or know what credit is?”
“Well, back in my kingdom we don't need to buy anything, so it's not necessary to have any money. Honestly, I'm not even sure I understand what money is. Why is it considered valuable in the first place?”
“You don't know what money is!? I can’t believe it; no, I refuse to believe it!” She looked personally insulted.
“Here Doña Paloma, this is all the money for the stuff, we’re sorry if we offended you.” She put the money on the counter “Okay, Skylar, let's go.”
“Wait a minute, Skylar! You are that jaquin prince, aren't you? You have a lot of nerve to pull a stunt like this after what you did four months ago!”
“What do you mean?” he asked.
She scowled at him “Really? You don't remember how you knocked over my entire display I had in front of the store. Then you said you had to leave on “royal business” before you could help clean it all up?”
“Oh yeah.” He looked at her sheepishly “Well, in my defence I was trying to get home fast, my dad gets really grumpy when I’m late.”
“Hmph, well, since you don't have those wings to knock things down anymore, how about you make it up to me now. I need the tops of the shelves dusted.”
Elena stepped between the two of them, “Look, Doña Paloma, I can pay you back for any of the damages he caused.”
“No, it’s okay,” Skylar insisted “I want to do this, it’s the responsible thing to do and I've never dusted a shelf before, could be fun!”
“Good, you can start with that one.” Said Paloma, pointing to the nearest shelf with her fan.
He walked confidently towards it, then turned back with a confused look “So, do I just put dust on the shelves? There's plenty of dust outside I could get, the Mercado has some really good dust.”
Paloma smiled smugly “No, that's not quite how you do it, but I'm sure Queen Elena would be able to show you how.”
Skyler looked at her hopefully and Elena sighed, they were probably going to be here for a while.
