Currently in the mood to make fanfiction of what Doc Hudson's life was like when he first moved to Radar Springs. Like how long it took him to earn his doctor's degree, why he chose to be a doctor (maybe seeing his mangled body after his crash made him a perfectionist who wanted to fix others), and how many attempts it took him to perfect the turn around the huge dust bowl.

...Should I?

Readers of the great and powerful Tumblr, come to me! Find this post! Who amongst you wishes to read the writings of I, the great and powerful Callagoo!? I am writing a book, dubbed Heliotrope, about a priestess of ancient gods who travels from her home kingdom to that of the rival kingdom, Krillian. She is tasked with seducing the awful King Thane Krillian, while navigating her blinding visions and the unbearable screech of angels! She must brave the Accord Ladies' gatherings and learn to trust and lean on her noble guard, Lord Ares Valebrand! Comment if you have any questions!! Reblogs and likes are much appreciated, I want to find the people who will love my world.

Anyhow. Art. And a link to my book, because why not. Heliotrope link.

Luna Moonstone loved Calla so much that she made fanart of her as a Clydesdale horse, which I think suits her amazingly well because she is elegant, strong, and goregous just like Clydesdales'! (Another post about that wayyyyy down, but if Calla was a critter she'd be a clydesdale!) I adore how she did the coreset and the jewelry dripping down from the coreset, it makes me so happy, along with the gold studs holding up her veil. My favorite small detail is how Luna made the C in Calla's name a little partial sun. Makes me smile so hard. I JUST NOTICED THE GOLD TRIM ON SHEER FABRIC COVERING HER ARMS AJDKLAAJDKJDKFJDKFJ EEEEEEEKKKK!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH LUNA!!!!!! AJJAKDJFDKJF
