The Real Gel

Happy 6 year anniversary to Birthright!

Redraw of this old art

I don’t care what Goodbye and Goodwill said, these are my art headcanons based on the movie, Pascal’s Story, and Painter’s Block lol.

Recently rewatching season 3 and reading the Rise of Flynn Rider got me thinking about how often the natural charisma of the character is oddly turned into him just memorizing a bunch of lines and even an entire personality?

I don’t hate that he loves the books and based a persona on the character, but you’re telling me he isn’t really a naturally funny or clever person? That’s all copying book lines he’s read or assimilating a personality from it?

Maybe I’m thinking about this a little too hard😂 Anyway, I do think the book character was probably charming and witty, and that he was definitely inspired by him/ he definitely memorized some lines, but I really dislike the lazy route of “oh this character talked exactly like Eugene” or “this line was actually a deliberate quote” revisions.

That’s so sweet! I’m going to post more about this au cause I’ve gotten a lot of questions and support, so I’ll answer a little about Adira and Horace here and save the Cass and Raps stuff for another post.

In this Au, Adira was assigned specifically to Horace as a personal guard by Queen Hortencia(my fan name for fitzmom lol) and King Edmund. She basically trained Horace from a young age into a fighter on par with the Brotherhood, until Horace was accepted into the Brotherhood as well.
