Hi there, this is a Random headcanon that I had about Carla: In an episode Carla said "I can play him like a Violin" So I thought that maybe she can play the violin. what do you think?

Yes, headcanon accepted! I can picture it now, her in the carriage travelling with her father practicing it as they roll along together. Anything from a piece with a slow melodic flow to a fast-paced gig.

I've always headcanoned that Victor can play the accordion (Esteban and Elena were learning to play the guitar and he wanted to be different) And those two instruments go very well together! Even in their song “Way Back When” two of the main instruments are the accordion and the violin, so it works thematically as well.

Have you ever eaten Lilac flowers? They are edible!!

Really? Oh wow I did not know that, I do eat a lot of edible flowers, leaves, and berries that I pick when I’m outside. So next time I have the opportunity, I might just try that out.

Hi! You’re the artist who drew that fun short of Victor and Ixlan called “Night on the Town”, correct? I know it was a while back, but I remember reading that you wrote a fanfic based on it? If so, could you give me a link or tell me where I can find it? I’d love to read it if you wrote it!

Hi Anon, yes you're correct, and it was really fun to make! I still definitely think that Victor & Ixlan became friends after the events of “The Lightning Warrior”. 

I think what you might be remembering is how I mentioned in that post that I had “sketches & a drawing, and a tiny fanfiction.” By “tiny fanfiction” I was referring to the four paragraphs I wrote after the sketches that describe the context of what's happening in them. I mean technically I guess it's too short to be called a “fanfiction” now that I'm thinking about it, maybe they would be considered headcanons? 

But if you want me to write a longer version of it, I might just be able to do that. When I was making the drawings I had plenty of ideas for possible stuff that could be in it if it was a longer story, I just didn't get around to writing it.

❤️= Favorite ships? ⚔️ = Unpopular opinion? I'm going to answer both at once, because why not. 

One of the things that really sold me on the show in the first place was the fact that it didn't have any of the main characters constantly pining, like most other shows in it’s genre do. Don't get me wrong, I still love those other shows, but I feel like most of the romantic subplots with the main characters were the weakest parts of them. Only occasionally does Elena of Avalor have episodes on romance as the focus and that was always with grown ups and/or side characters. I feel like shows should do that more often.

That being said as far as ships go, well… I like all the cannon married & dating couples, I don't have any problems with any of them. But as far as most fan-made ships go, I'm pretty neutral about most of them (or I am a big multishipper with them). I see a nice piece of art/fic for them and I'm like “Oh that's a nice piece of art/fic” but I wouldn't live or die for that ship. 

But I have to admit I do absolutely love Rafictor, it's definitely a favourite, but I like some other ships that have either of them in them as well. Ixlan/Antonia is another favourite, (although I guess the show was the one that suggested that ship in the first place). And I really like any of the possible combinations of the four Amigos with each other, I'm just very glad that the show didn't explicitly say that any of them are cannon, because that makes them all equally valid. (Although I guess I'm biased towards a certain one of them if you look at a couple of certain posts of mine).

Who do you think the new Captain of the guard should be now that Gabe is general? I think Antonia Bello should be the new captain.

I find myself agreeing with you on that one Anon, even though she doesn't have as much seniority as a lot of the other guards, out of all the ones we've seen she does seem to be the best pick. The important thing about being Captain isn't being able to run the fastest or or jump the highest (Which is why I thought the competition for becoming royal guard Captain in ‘The Curse of El Guapo’ was kind of ridiculous). Instead one needs to have intelligence, patience, and good problem-solving skills, traits that she has in spades. 

And the only other main candidate who comes to mind is Rico, and I just don't think he's as good for the job. Don't get me wrong, he's a good guard but he seems more likely to make rash decisions then she does. Maybe if the royal guard expands enough that they end up needing more Captains he could do a good job as another Captain, but for now it's probably best he says a lieutenant.

2021 Elena of Avalor Ship Week Day 6 - Dancing

I drew this a few months ago but only coloured it recently for ship week. Rafictor is one of my favourite crackships for EOA, so it’s essential to post this for shipweek.

I just think Francisco and Luisa are such a cute couple. 

I originally drew this picture for early 2020’s EOA shipweek, but completed it late and decided not to post it back then. I recently colored it and so I can finally post it for this year's ship week.

how do you think is older, Elena or Esteban?

Don't get me wrong, but isn’t Esteban at least 40 years older than her? Ha ha, just joking!  I know you're asking which one was born first, I get it. I think it was probably Esteban and he was born about a year before she was. But that's just my headcanon.

Hi! I just want to let you know that I’m a hug fan of your EOA artwork! Whenever I see that you’ve posted more art, it always makes my day! I’m a little nervous to ask, but do you take requests? If so, do you draw ship related artwork? I’m really sorry if you feel uncomfortable with my asking these questions.

Thank you for the compliment, you made my day! 💖

Do I take requests? Well I guess I could start taking requests if you had some, but it would depend on the request. I'm not doing any kind of special request meme or anything right now, but if someone were to request me something and it was an idea that I would approve of, I might draw it. 

And ships...well I guess if I liked the ship I could draw it. Although you'd  also have to give me an idea for what you wanted the characters to be doing/poses you'd want them to be in, because I am rubbish at coming up with ideas for how characters act when they're being in a ship. 

And I'm fine with you asking questions so politely like this! I ask tons of questions to people that are like these as well.

👑 and 🌼 for the eoa ask meme?

👑 - Favorite character?

(I've already answered with my favourite human before so...) My favourite jaquin character is Luna. She's sassy, she's clever, and she has some of the best lines. Her song absolutely rocks. Her arc, though not the biggest one in the show, was enjoyable. Plus her colours and design work really well, you don't normally see pink and orange together if they're not accompanied by other colours, but she really pulled it off. 

🌼 - Favorite episode?

For this one I'm going to go with “The Sceptre Of Night.” I haven't really been keeping track but it's probably the episode I’ve re-watched the most. It's always great to see a team Avalor adventure episode! They were all particularly good in this one, and we got all four main jaquins as well. Mateo’s song is just amazing, one of the best songs in the series. The humour in it is fantastic, all of Fiero and Victor's interactions are just perfection. (Plus I could personally relate to how Victor snuck up on Fiero. I used to do that all the time to my friends, until I realized that I needed to stop that or else I wouldn't have any friends). And I love how the episode showed it's lesson not only with Mateo, but with Victor as well. Both of them were so caught up in trying to find the Sceptre first, more for their own personal reasons than the good of the group’s, that they stepped on the rest of the group's toes and caused major issues. So that was an interesting parallel. Overall a solid episode and my favorite one in that arc.

👑🌼👸🏽, please!

👑 - Favorite character? Victor Delgado. (He's the character I draw and think about the most, so logic dictates that he's probably my favourite). At first he seems like just a mildly threatening/fun villain, but as the show progressed you start to really care about him. Mainly because he's a good dad, that is a very important thing. But I don't think he really became my favourite character until “The Magic Within,” because as the old saying goes: When you can't have something, it just makes you want to have it more.

🌼 - Favorite episode? There are quite a few episodes that I really enjoyed. So just like Elena has more than one best friend, I have more than one favourite episode. But this time I think I'll talk about “Crash Course.” Bronzino’s song was great, the subplot was good at developing Dona Paloma, and it was really cute to see the guard squad together! But the heart of this episode was Gabe and Mateo’s relationship. From them sassing each other, to their fight, to them making up and sharing their insecurities with each other, and then working together to save the day, it was great!

👸🏽- If you could write a 4th season of the show, what would you have in store for elena’s future?

Elena must have a much greater scope of political abilities unlocked now that she has been crowned Queen, so would be interesting to see some of those. I also want to see her deal with a super serious political issue the outcome of which could determine the fate of the Kingdom. Like trying to stop a corrupt kingdom/organization from going to war with Avalor. (They do have a lot of powerful magical resources,  I could easily see an unscrupulous evil ruler wanting to get their hands on them). And then Elena has to use her political negotiation skills to stop them! If all else fails she could deploy the royal guard against them and see how that goes.

Speaking of the royal guard I would want to see more of General Núñez (He probably has some extra executive powers now too) truly leading them to be the best Royal Guard they can be. Maybe there's a bit of a fallout from Coronation Day, because even though the guards had learned magic by that point they weren't able to protect the palace and the town from the shades. Maybe Gabe has to build back up their morale. And after that they train more and become strong enough to actually defeat magical monsters and criminals. Or maybe they have to fight off an attack from that corrupt Kingdom, and save the Avalor in the process. (Also I wouldn't want to see any of the guards die per se, but if one of them got seriously injured it would be interesting to see how Gabe would react to that as well…) (I could talk about this all day but this answer is getting a bit long, but if anyone wants to ask me more about it I'd definitely keep expanding my ideas on this, or what I think other characters would be doing...)

I got too much sleep this year to be able to properly make some new ones, so last year's are back! Happy Valentine's Day!

In honor on Valentines Day, I made these Elena of Avalor Valentines! 

(I came up with most of these while sleep deprived)

The ones under the cut are technically spoilers for episodes after “The Magic Within” so view at your own risk.

If Mateo was able to make the Jaquin potion in the show, then his grandfather probably did as well decades beforehand. So maybe “Shapeshifters” wasn't Elena's first time being a jaquin...

Her parents were pretty startled when she knocked the potion onto herself but she still had a nice day spending time with her cousin while Alacazar made the reversal potion.

In the show Carla is taller than Tomiko, so why did you draw her shorter thab tomiko in your drawing?

Hi Anon, I actually did not notice that until you pointed it out. Normally when I'm drawing two characters I use references from the scenes that they've been in together and I can sort of eye how tall and short they are, but since there wasn't a scene with them together I just subconsciously assumed Tomiko was taller.

I was once asked what I would look like if I took the Jaquin potion, I came up with this result.

A Monstrous Encounter

I had this crazy Elena of Avalor dream on August 28th, so I decided to turn it into a fanfiction. This is 70% what happened in the dream and 30% dialogue I added for context and jokes for levity.

Note: I have the trigger warnings in the tags, this Fanfic does have a bit of violence and blood in it so I would give this a PG-13 / T rating. Reader discretion is advised.

Note 2: For some reason when I had the dream the entire landscape was in various sunset colours, the trees were purple, the sky was red & yellow and the grass was orange & pink.  So if you want, you can imagine it like that.

Note 3: In the dream I wasn't exactly sure when it was set, so I just decided to set it after the final. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  A few months after she became Queen, Elena was touring the kingdom. She was making stops in all the different towns so the citizens could see their new Queen and she could make sure the towns were running smoothly. Elena had brought along Naomi, Gabe and Mateo, as well as a few of her Royal Guards and servants. So far, the tour had gone on without a hitch, but that was all about to change.

  In a small country village, Elena and her friends were about to go to Village Hall for a meeting with the Town Council, when a horse ran up to them at full speed and stopped. On it were Lieutenant Felipe and a young Private. Felipe looked exhausted and the Private was crying, and they both looked very bruised up.

  Gabe ran up to meet him. “Felipe, what happened!?”

  The Lieutenant tried to give as coherent a report as he could. “General, I have to report there's a monster at the edge of town. It was huge and round and slimy. Last time I saw it it was on the north corner of the pig farm owned by the Estrada family. It's been eating the livestock of the townspeople. When Private Fuentes and I went to evaluate the situation, it attacked us. I tried to use some spells to stop it but it seems to be immune to magic. Then it attacked Fuentes and… I was able to pull him out of the way in time but the monster killed and swallowed his horse.”

  The private looked at the General, his eyes filled with tears. “I'm sorry General, if I had been faster, Peanut would still be…”

  “It's alright private you did all you could do. All you need to do now is get your injuries checked.” Gabe assured him.

  “Yes Sir.” Fuentes replied, his voice still shaking

  Then Gabe continued on in a slightly more military tone, but you could still hear the intense concern he had.  “Lieutenant Felipe, take Private Fuentes to have his injuries taken care of, have your own injuries checked, and then call for backup.”

  “Yes sir.” He saluted then rode off towards the medical facility

  The other three who had watched this scene unfold were shocked, they knew something had to be done.

  “By the time backup gets here someone else could be attacked!” Exclaimed Mateo.

  “He's right, we should deal with this monster right now!” agreed Elena.

  “I second that.” Added Naomi with a nod. “We must avenge Peanut!”

  Gabe looked at how the three of them were just raring to go, he hesitated for a moment and then sighed. “I guess it's yet another mission for just the four of us.”

  “Maybe we need a name like Team Ava-four.” said Mateo trying to lighten the mood.

  Gabe just sighed and continued, “We know that this creature is immune to magic, so we will all need to equip some physical weapons before we go find it.”

  They went to their supply carriage and each got equipped with a sword, a dagger and a crossbow. Then they got on their horses and rode to the farm. Once they arrived at the south corner of the farm, they didn't tie the horse's reins to a pole. Instead they  just told their horses to wait for them to come back, they did this just in case the monster tried to attack them, the horses would be able to get away unhindered.

  Then they carefully made their way to the north corner, making sure to keep watch as they approached it. Then they saw an odd shape in the distance. They carefully stepped behind a large boulder and looked out at it. There was no mistaking it, this was the monster.

  It was sitting on the ground, its eerie black eyes open and ever staring forward.  It was at least 3 meters tall while at rest. It had a round body with a huge mouth, bigger than the mouth of any creature should be. It was bright purple and yellow and covered in clear oozing slime. It was blob shaped and looked like some kind of hideous melted frog.

  “I've never seen a creature like that in any of my books before,” Whispered Mateo, “At least not that I can remember.”  

  “What do you think we should do?” Asked Elena.

  “I say we try shooting it with our crossbows. If we get a little closer the bolts would probably do some major damage.” Suggested Naomi.

  “That sounds good, we will move to that area over there behind those trees where we will get a much clearer shot.” Said Gabe readying his crossbow “We should approach it with caution.” They moved closer to the monster until they were as close as they could get, while still being behind cover. “All right,” ready your crossbows and...NOW!”

  Four bolts shot straight into the monster's head and lodged deep, although it didn't seem very disturbed by it.  The monster looked at them with it's bulging eyes for a moment before it suddenly hopped up in a burst of speed and began to chase them. They were just barely able to start running away from it when it jumped at them.

  The monster chased them down the hill towards a pond, quickly gaining momentum on them. “Let's split up around the pond and regroup behind those trees!” Yelled Naomi, pointing across the water at the other side.  

  The group split to run around to the two sides, Naomi and Elena going to one side, Gabe and Mateo on the other. But the monster continued its chase, now with a target in its focus.

  Mateo was a slower runner than the others and they all realized it too late. He dropped his crossbow and grabbed his tamborita ready to cast a speed spell on himself. But before he could he tripped on a wet clump of grass at the edge of the pond, dropping his tamborita as he fell to the ground. The monster leapt behind him and with one fast movement gulped him completely into its mouth.

  “MATEO!” They screamed as their friend disappeared from view.

  “LEVALUQ!” yelled Gabe aiming his tamborita at the monster's mouth, but it was no use, Mateo was completely inside it and there was nothing that the spell could grab onto. It just seemed to be absorbed into the monster's slime. So without a second thought Gabe ran at the creature and started slashing at it with his sword. Naomi and Elena joined him, desperate to save their friend.

~~~   Mateo was surrounded by oozing darkness. He tried to breathe but got a nose full of noxious smelling slime instead, so he held his breath. The monster's mouth was closed in all around him and he barely had any room to move. He started to struggle but it didn't feel like it made any difference to the compressing walls around him.

  Then he remembered the dagger. He grabbed it with one hand and plunged it into the monster's tongue. The walls kept moving around him but they didn't feel any less constricting, and he was running out of air. He continued to stab but he could feel his strength draining away from him. His thoughts became a flurry of panic “I need to get out of here, I can't die like this, please!!!”  He continued to stab until he didn't have the strength to hold on to the dagger any longer. ~~~

 The three of them continued to slash their blades into the monster’s flesh. It still held its mouth shut even as blood splattered out from its wounds. It tried to jump into the nearby pond, and that's when Gabe leaped up into the air and plunged his sword deep into its back, determined to save the wizard before it was too late. That was the mortal blow. Finally the monster stopped moving and fell To the ground, finally defeated.

 Naomi and Gabe each grabbed one side of the fallen monster’s mouth and yanked it open. Elena lifted Mateo out. He wasn't moving. She started hastily brushing the slime off his face while using her other hand to push on his chest trying to resuscitate him.

  “MATEO WAKE UP, PLEASE!” She cried.

 Suddenly he began to cough and blink his eyes open. Tears continued to stream down the young queen's face but now in relief rather than despair. “I thought I lost you.”

  “Thank goodness you're alive.” Said Gabe who is now kneeling beside them.

  “We need to make sure all the liquid is out of the throat, if he's able to talk that means he can breathe properly.”  Naomi then she turned to Mateo and asked “Do you think you can talk?”

  He nodded, then he breathed and said “Well that became a pretty slimy situation!”

  There was a moment of silence, and then they all laughed (in spite of the pun being terrible). They were all just so happy that Mateo was alive. They moved into a big group hug.

  Suddenly Naomi broke out of the hug and jumped up. “The meeting!”  Shouted Naomi, “We never told them that we were going to be late!”

  Elena sprang to her feet “Oh no you're right! Quick, if we move fast we might be able to still make it in time!”

  “But Elena, you-” Gabe started saying but was interrupted.

  “Don’t worry Gabe, I trust that you will be able to take Mateo back to town and report to the townspeople that the monster has been defeated.” Then she whistled for the horses. All four of them came running and Elena's horse, Canela stopped right in front of her.

  “Elena I think he meant-” Started Mateo.

  “You can tell me later Mateo, just go get some rest, you need it!” And with that, she jumped on her horse and she and Naomi rode off at a thundering pace.

  “So,” said Mateo turning to Gabe “Do you think they'll notice that they're covered in monster blood before they get to the meeting, or after someone screams and faints at them?”

  “I'd say the latter.” Said Gabe, as he watched them ride off into the distance.

  “Probably, wait a minute we're ALL covered in... blood…”

  Gabe caught Mateo right as he fainted.

  He checked that Mateo was okay and then smiled “Well Elena did say you needed a rest.”

  Mateo blinked open his eyes and groaned a little in disgust as he looked at his clothing. It would take some major spells to get these stains out.

  He found his tamborita lying near him, brushed the dirt off it and put it back in its holder. Then Gabe carefully helped Mateo on to his horse, then the two of them both rode back to town.

@saraahsapphire Was the one who came up with the Original AU idea, and it was so cute I just had to draw it. After we re-watched “Realm Of The Jaquins” together she said: “What if Victor and Carla became friends with Marimonda?” To which I replied “YES!” and drew this.

They are either plotting to take over the world with plants and friendship, or they have been reformed by this point, who knows?

A while ago me and @lieutenant-amuel Talked about how since Gabe and some of the other guards know magic now, maybe they should get more ‘wizard robe-like’ uniforms. I started designing it but then I realized “I could add a whole bunch of other things to this is well!” And I ended up with this.

Here's an explanation of some of my redesign choices: -Rank insignia.  I'm using a system of Pips because I am a Star Trek nerd. But instead of circles or diamonds, they are five petaled flowers, since that symbol is on the emblem for the show as well as a few banners in Avalor.

-Royal guard badge. So that everyone can tell he's a royal guard of Avalor.

-Tamborita badge. Above his left pocket you can see a small golden tamborita. Gabe and any other guards trained in magic would have this to signify that they have been specially trained in magic.

-Pockets. Because pockets are amazingly useful and every modern military uniform has them, so I just decided to throw them in as well.

-Longer coat. To make the outfit look a little bit more wizard like.

-More gold. Well, it's not actual gold, but gold colours look really good with red and blue, so I just had to add it.
