Calliope: Recollection
(a poorly drawn mini-comic inspired by a recent convo between yours truly and @ahhhh-118, enjoy!)
Translation:
Cairns family homestead, 1917...
Adeline: Calliope?... Where are you going with that shovel?
Calliope: just gonna go withdraw some money, mum.
Calliope (in mind): just a little money...
A few years earlier...
Robert: Oi, Calli! Where yah goin'?
Calliope: Goin' down to feed the sheep, why?
Callum: *narrows eyes in suspicion*
Robert: You've only got a few more bucks in your allowance, so.yah betta make it count.
Calliope: Yessir!
Calliope (in present mind): *sigh*
Calliope (still in present mind): It's just to keep us fed... I promise I'll pay you back... Someday
For context, this follows an eighteen year old Calliope (aka, when she still had long hair) whose mother approaches her about where she's going. Calliope responds that she's going to withdraw money, but doesn't tell her that she's withdrawing money from the secret stash of money Calli and her brothers had stolen from banks and buried out on their families property (they come from a family of cattle farmers). Calli reminisces to herself about only taking a little, before we're thrown back to a fifteen year old Calli with her two older brothers Robert and Callum. Robert asks Calli where she's going and she responds with lie, of which her brothers catch onto. Robert replying with what he knows she's actually going to do, and says to use the rest of what she has in her 'allowance' wisely. As to make it even they had divided up their loot. Calli salutes him with her shovel before we cut to eighteen year old Calli thinking to herself, this time about how she would pay back her brothers the money she took from them to be able to feed her and her mother while they were away fighting in the great war. If they ever did come home, that is...
Woo, that was a doozy! Sorry for making the post so long 😅, there was just too much info I wanted to stuff in. Thank you so very much to the people that read this far!
With that in mind, have a splendiferous day/night!
First post, haha
Slowly but surely figuring out how to use Tumblr, I might not post much due to school and family stuff, but I'll try my best! :D
Have a good day/night 😄
G'day, and thank you for the tags @mivanti03 @ahhhh-118 and @yanci-indigo

@paysomeonetopaysomeone @waitingforthesunrise @coffeeforkai @betweenthetimeandsound @27fanficlilies @wishtobefictional @trashmeowcan @ashlakh @malencholic-nyx
Taking my sweet sweet time with this one but here's Ivy! Love her sassy attitude 😺. Thought I'd also do her in a black and white monochrome kinda palette too (Mostly just for the fun of it).
Anyway, have a good day/night!
AASHDJDKEIIEXNF, SO GOOD! Wouldn't put it down for the world 😉
Finally finished my first ever oneshot comic! Not really too deep of a story since I am again learning to make chapters before I work on Adam and Elizabeth's story ;). I highly recommend reading this zoomed in instead of scrolling.
The beginnings of one of the most dangerous men in early 1900s Chicago. Antonio and his crew are gonna climb their way to the top of the criminal underworld.
This was pretty fun ngl haha, even if it took like a month and the backgrounds were super lacking. Might continue this story or start with Adam and Elizabeth's chapter 1 next.
Took awhile, but the last of the trio is finally finished! I present to you:
Transcription (due to the trend endlessly blurry images):
Born: 14th of February, 1901
Boston, Massachusetts
Born to Marie and Philip Caradine. Angelique, or ‘Angel’ as she calls herself nowadays, had had a fairly normal upbringing in the early years leading up to 1912. Well... If you discounted the gang her family were associated with.
Being the youngest of the Caradine siblings, she was coddled and babied by her older siblings and parents. Often told by her relatives that she had a wonderful voice. Though, not all was happy in the Caradine household. As a week after her eleventh birthday, her brothers and father would be massacred in an unseen ambush by a rival gang over a turf of land. Forcing her remaining family into a miserable ten years of poverty.
From that point on, Angelique would use the only thing she was ever good at to help her family from falling to famine. That being her voice. Singing for small crowds in the streets, and when she got older, on the stage in dance halls, or really any place that would have her. Whilst her two remaining siblings, Remy and Dotty, would take turns collecting the payments and performing alongside her. That was most likely how she got scouted. Eventually it became a career for her as she reached her early twenties, and at the age of twenty-one, she would leave behind the house she and her family had bought in Tennessee. Travelling around the southern half of America for a few years or so, before moving to St. Louis, Missouri, due to her newfound employment at the ‘Hotel Maribel’. Sure, she lives in a dingy little hotel room on the outskirts of St. Louis. But as long as she kept on moving, things would surely come her way eventually... Right?
Aside from singing her heart out on stage, Angel has shown to be quite proficient in dance. Commonly incorporating a slice of choreography into her performances whenever the moment arises. She has also shown to be quite skilled in the art of gossip, making it all the more chaotic due to her rather sociable nature. And the fact that when you get her to start, you can’t get her to stop. In addition to being the queen of smack-talk, it is relatively unknown to most cats that she speaks a small bit of French. Mostly due to her mother’s French ancestry. Oh, and if you were wondering, yes she does have an accent. She just likes to suppress it.
As always, have a magnifique day/night! 😘

A person's favorite color, favorite animal, and favorite flavor of ice cream can say a lot about them when considering the answers as a whole. Some prime examples I've heard are:
~ Silver, Artic Wolf, and Mint Chocolate Chip.
~ Pink/Yellow, Putu Bird, and Cotton Candy.
~ Light Brown, Tree Kangaroo, and Rum Raisin.
~ Green, Pig, and Cookie Dough.
Mine are:
~ Burgundy, Fox, and Moose Tracks.
Tag some friends and get a sense of who they are! :)
