So for one week of the Discord weekly challenge, the prompt was “Night On The Town,” so that inspired me to make these sketches & a drawing, and a tiny fanfiction. Where together, Victor and Ixlan went out for a night on the town, (since he hadn't been out for this kind of stuff for around 9 months, and she hadn't been out for something like 3009 months.

[Full disclosure, I drew this before “Elena's day off" came out, and this would be set before that].

 -First, they both rode horses through town, Ixlan was both excited and nervous about this (although that was hard to tell from just looking at her). Victor helped her with horse riding tips, and then later she helped him not get captured by a group of citizens who remembered this face from a wanted poster. The horses got pretty scared by that event, so they decided to go to Doña Paloma’s Emporium and leave them with her. She could return them to the palace later. They could just continue on foot for the rest of the night. (I'm assuming by this point they’ve probably met the whole Grand Council).

-After they dropped off the horses at the emporium, Doña taught Ixlan about different kinds of fans and which one is the best to buy, while Victor tried out every accordion in the emporium as loudly as possible. He eventually found one that he liked (which also happened to be the first one he'd actually picked up and tried out) and bought it. (Don't worry, Elena had given them some money beforehand). 

-Then they went out for dinner and drinks at Cafe Angelica, (Since Julio had recommended it to them). Afterwards they walked back through the city playing music, Victor on his new accordion and Ixlan on her Tambor Trueno. 

-At the end of the night they rode the Hydro-Gondola back to the palace, although Ixlan rode it a bit differently than intended (by siting on the roof on it). Victor not-so-calmly asked her why she was doing that, and she replied, “I can see the stars much better from up here.”

Ever since “The Lightning Warrior” came out, I've been thinking about how Mateo now has a student who is three times his age, and this would probably cause some...misunderstandings.

[Comic script: Panel 1: Visiting Royal wizard (Talking to Victor): Ah so you must be the Royal Wizard, and those three must be your apprentices. Victor doesn't say anything but he has a shocked expression. Panel 2 Mateo: WHAT! But I’m- Carla (Interrupting Mateo): -Oh, don't worry, I'm sure you'd be a great Royal Wizard if you got the job! Olivia: Maybe if you grew a beard it would be easier to tell...]

Since we have seen Elena, Gabe, and Mateo as Jaquins, I decided to draw Naomi as one too!

Little Black Dress

On April Fool's Day of 2020, I posted this Fanfiction onto the EOA Discord server under the gauze that it was a summary of an upcoming episode. We were all very anxious for any news about future episodes, and I was able to fool some people with this. I wrote this before “Crash Course” came out so all the “main plot things” that happened in this were just me guessing and making jokes about what could possibly happen. Originally I thought of just doing a little description, but pretty soon it turned into an entire plot summary. I just thought of all the things that would be cool to see in the show, as well as some things in my personal life, and wrote it all on April Fool's Day itself.

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

[Here's the introduction I did for it, straight from the server itself:] Hey guys I just found this full on plot summary of the Elena of Avalor episode that comes after Crash Course! So don't read this Unless you are ready to get spoiled big time!

Ready for spoilers? Okay, here we go! The episode is titled “Little Black Dress” Mini description is: “Elena and Naomi have to find a way to stop Elena’s new dress colour and power, Meanwhile Gabe, and Mateo try to stop Ash, with help from an unlikely ally.”

That description makes it sound really good but wait, I have the whole plot summary so here you go: [Synopsis under the cut]

It starts off at the castle, we see Elena, reading a book in her room. Naomi comes in and asks what book she is reading while also making the bed, since now Naomi's technically out of an official job so she's been trying a lot of stuff around the palace to see what job sticks. We even get a little montage of this. It turns out Elena is reading a book that Naomi recommended to her and is almost finished,  Naomi is happy to hear that, and decides to leave Elena in peace until she's finished reading.

But just as she's about to leave the room she hears Elena's scream and she runs back into the room to find that Elena's dress has turned black!  All of the light seems like it's being sucked out of the room while a feeling  of the deepest despair comes over them, but Naomi is able to make it across the room and sing a bit of love always to Elena, which gets her back to normal. Then Naomi asks Elena what happened, why did the dress change colour like that?

Elena takes a deep breath and explains to Naomi that the book ended on a cliffhanger, why had she not told her that this book ended on such a big cliffhanger! Naomi tells her that she'd read the book so long ago, she had sort of forgotten the weight of the cliffhanger at the end. Naomi tells her that she had once checked before if there was a sequel to this book, and there wasn't, but she's pretty sure that the author is planning one. Elena retains her composure, but you can tell she is still deeply disturbed. But it's time for the Grand Council meeting now, so she goes to the Grand Council room. Cut to the Grand council meeting, Doña Paloma and Julio are already there, arguing over kingdom finances, when Elena comes in and apologizes for being late. Her grandparents start to fill her in on what has been happening in the meeting when Doña interrupts them. She tells Elena how they've been arguing over whether to spend tax money on relief to chocolate farmers who are having trouble with a fungus that's been growing on the chocolate trees making them less productive. She believes the farmers should spend their own money on anti-fungus measures for the trees but Julio disagrees, so what does she think they should do?

But Elena's dress turns black,  almost all the light gets sucked out of the room and strong winds begin to blow, everyone gets under the table. Her grandparents are able to calm her down and ask her what happened. She explains about the new dress colour and that the mention of fungus reminded her of how that book ended with half the characters getting possessed by an evil mushroom that was bent on taking over the world, and not knowing would happen next was filling her with suspense and dread. Julio recommends that she go find the author of the book and ask them how it ends. Elena thinks that's a great idea and decides to do that with Naomi.

Just as she's leaving the grand Council room she bumps into Mateo and Gabe, they tell her that they have some important security matters they need to share with the Grand Council, so they can get the green light to go ahead with their defeating-evil plans. “Just do whatever you must!” She tells Mateo and Gabe before leaving with Naomi to go find the author. They take this to mean they can do ANYTHING they feel they need too.

We follow Gabe and Mateo down to the dungeon where they go to Carla’s cell. She's petting the dog and looking out the window when she hears them come in. She turns and is quite surprised to see them. They tell her that they are planning an important mission that will stop Ash, and her gang, but they need her help to pull it off. She tells them that she will only help them if they de-stone Victor. They agree that they will do that once the mission is completed, as long as she doesn't double-cross them. Carla says they have a deal, and asks them what the plan is.

Gabe explains to her that the guards have sightings of Ash’s gang on the coast of Avalor in a certain village, which means that there is only one place they could be going… “Los Diamante!” finished Carla. It was one of the most famous card game playing houses and music lounges in the entire Everealm. It was run by a gang of criminals and Malvagos led by El Destello. They are so powerful that during Shuriki’s rain they were still able to operate, because they could destroy any Royal Guards or other threats to the place.

It would be a disaster if Ash got them as allies, so Gabe and Mateo decided they would try to convince El Destello to join the good guy side (or at least not join Ash). But they knew they wouldn't last five minutes in that place without a criminal who could help guide them through it, and that's why they needed Carla.

Carla told them that  her father had told her all about this place before, and that the place had a strict dress code they would need to follow before they got there (“They don’t let Guards or nerds in there” she said). The dress code was formal suits and dresses. So they got changed and then rode some Jaquins to Los Diamante, and went inside.

The place was very ritzy, and it still had that Avaloran style architecture to it. There were guys playing Go Fish at the tables, people ordering drinks from the counter, and a big stage where an Avaloran-style jazz band is playing. Everyone had a Churro in their mouth. Mateo went to the drink counter and ordered an apple juice, but the guy behind the counter said they didn't have any, but they did have tomato juice, and chocolate milk. Mateo realized they were in the deep end now.

Suddenly Ash, Esteban, and Chatana walk in, all of them dressed up in super fancy outfits. Ash walked up to one of the burly looking criminals standing by the door and asked to see El Destello, so she could give him an offer he couldn't refuse.  He said that she would have to wait half an hour for him to finish with his  accountant upstairs before he could see anyone. 

Carla, Gabe, and Mateo (who had hidden under a table when those three came in), heard all of this and knew they needed to come up with a plan to stop this.

Meanwhile, Elena and Naomi were in the middle of town looking through the town records, to see if they could find the author's name and address. One of the clerks at the building asked them what they were doing and they explained to her their situation. She said she knew where the author lived (whose name was Q.W. Southland)  and gave them her address, but told them that the author was planning on leaving Avalor for Norberg today, so they better hurry.

They both ran to the author's house, but they saw that they were too late, a carriage was already leaving the house with Southland inside! Elena refused to give up, so she and Naomi hopped into an empty cart, and attached a large sheet to it like a sail.  Elena mustered up her feelings and the strong winds blew,  blowing their cart towards the carriage.  The carriage sped up in reaction to this, and now they were in a full-on chase scene,  zooming through the streets of the city towards the port. Finally, the carriage stopped right before it fell into the water but Elena's cart fell into the water and she and Naomi had to swim back to shore. They were just in time to reach Southland before she got on the ship. 

Elena begged to know the rest of the story, but Southland explained to her that she wasn't going to tell any of her readers anything about the next book until it was published, even if they were a princess. Elena would have to wait another eight months like everyone else.

Elena and Naomi were deeply saddened. Elena said that she wished there was at least something she could have to keep her occupied until the next book came out.  Naomi looks like she has a moment of inspiration, and tells Elena that she needs to get home and that she should go back to the palace and wait for her there. Elena is confused by this, but sees her friend’s enthusiasm and agrees.

Meanwhile in Los Diamante, El Destello had finally finished with his upstairs business and had come down to the lounge. Ash walked over to him and began to tell him about who she was and about her plans for the most powerful group of dark wizards ever. Suddenly Carla jumped out and interrupted her, she told El Destello that she heard he liked music (why else would you keep a music lounge open during Shiriki’s rain?) and that she was a great singer and dancer.

Carla said that she and her team (Mateo and Gabe) would challenge Ash and her team to a music contest, and that whoever lost wouldn't be able to get help from El Destello or his gang. El Destello thought that sounded like a great idea and agreed. Ash, still surprised by this turn of events, wasn't going to back down from a challenge and also agreed.

So the music contest began. Ash and Chatana sang a Peggy Lee-style song called  “Touch of a Feather'' with Esteban playing guitar to back them up. It's lyrics show that it's a really good villain song, referencing Ash’s ambition and Chatana’s yearning for a world she can control. It went off without a hitch, except for when Chatana did a spin and her wings knocked Ash, and Esteban off the stage at the end of it.

Carla sang a Nancy Sinatra-style song called “These Violet Times” with Mateo and Gabe singing backup (Gabe also had a trumpet solo at one point). The lyrics reflect Carla’s feelings about her past and hopes for her future (They also make some not-so-passive-aggressive jabs at Ash).

El Destello said both songs were good, but there was only one winner. He beckoned Ash and her team over to him. Ash smiled, said she was glad to have won, and asked if this meant that he would accept their deal of a partnership?

He told her no, she had not won. He just summoned them over to tell them that they had five minutes to leave before his gang would throw them out. Ash was shocked, Esteban then teleported them out of there before Ash had a chance to do something violent.

El Destello congratulated team Carla on the win. Mateo asked if this meant he would never colaberbate with Ash, and he said “Of course and that from now on whenever they came back to Los Diamante, drinks were on the house.”

Gabe and Mateo were happy that the mission had gone so successfully, and thanked Carla for her help. She asked if this meant that they would free Victor now, and they said yes. “What are we waiting for” yelled Carla as she grabbed them by the hands and dragged them out to the Jaquins, to get them back to the Palace as fast as they could.

Back at the Palace, Elena is sitting in her room tuning her guitar when Naomi walks in with a bundle of scrolls and papers in her hands. She tells Elena when she had finished that book a long time ago, she had been destroyed by the cliffhanger ending as well. So she had written a whole bunch of fanfiction about what could happen next. Then, with all the crazy stuff that's happened in the last few months she forgot about it. She said it's not as good as another book but at least they have it. Elena smiled and said that it's just as good as another book, but then she asked Naomi, “You did complete these right? They don't end on cliffhangers too, do they?”

“No,” Naomi said with a smile “I made sure of that.”

The episode ends with Gabe, Mateo and Carla in the palace garden. Mateo is holding a small vial which he then hands it to Carla, saying she should do the honour. She runs over to Victor and says:  “Finally you can be free, Papa!” She holds the potion above his head and pours it on him. And just as the potion touches his forehead- the credits cut in and you have to wait until next episode to see what happens next.

So that definitely sounds like an episode I would want to see, if only it were real… Happy April Fool's Day everyone!

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

[And now for a bit of a retrospective on that piece. Reading this again really takes me back. Back then I was so worried about Carla and Victor, sometimes I wondered if they'd even get a redemption arc at all. But as the moral of this episode goes “Fanfiction and other fans make you feel less bad about waiting for new content.” And writing this did make me feel a little bit better about everything.

Oh yes who can forget the “ what if black is an emotion colour” theory.  most people were taking that to really angsty places, but I decided to do something a little closer to home for me. There was a certain book series [Wings of Fire] that I had in mind writing the plot with Elena. Because I really did feel those emotions when it left off on a cliffhanger. And that was kind of the same with the show as well.

I always liked it and shows and movies where they have parodies of 1930s gangster movies, so I decided to do a kid-friendly parody version of that. I always love the fancy outfits the characters have in those. I realized that churros look like cigars from a distance, so that's why I mentioned that. I was also really hoping for another villain song, and for Carla to confront her mom. So I just fused the two together.

In my mind when I was writing this I imagined that Pili and Tziloco were in another section of Los Diamante, that was meant for Animal Companions, waiting for the rest of Team Ash to finish. And at one point they play some kind of card game against the Jaquins. But I didn't know where I could smoothly fit that into the summary, so I left it out.

Also I just want to explain the title, I decided on it because 1, Elena's dress turns black in this. And 2, a little black dress is a term that's often used for describing simple, yet fancy dresses that some women wear, and that would be fitting for the other plot of this story. So it's sort of a pun!]

a-Lilacsng’s Live text reaction: Elena's day off

I Drive up to you in my sports Corvette and take off my sunglasses. “Hey so I heard Ixlan’s in this episode, and I want in.” 

((I know I haven't done one of these in forever, but I knew I had to do one for this episode. Spoilers under the cut.)

Sneak 1000 Only 3 days?! Dang. Well it sounds like she's going to invite King Hector, “Definitely can't put him with Abigail” It can't be anyone else 🎵 Who knew they owned 1,000 salad plates 🎵 Oh and there's a cello, Hello cello This is why she needs more secretaries and planners “And we have I don't know how many bad guys out there, building an invasion Squad!” Even Elena's Gene Savvy enough to know that they will crash her party She's been standing behind the plates all day waiting for her cue Doña Isn't even trying to be subtle at this point Oh that's so cute, Mini Royal chairs Put Hector next to Alonso, at least it would be entertaining to everyone else at the party And they all just magically stick to the table I love it, she's actually making a battle strategy, finally! “I made their figures look like Stone because that's the form they're going to be taking at the end of the final battle Hahaha.” Isabel is very disturbed by it as well Holy moly it's like know your friends but know your enemies even better She was probably just using farsight to like see all their features and carefully carve them out And there's no mini Stone Chatana!  But I get it though, wings are hard. Naomi is completely right, you have staff so let them do their jobs!!! She keeps telling Isa to rely on her team and Trust in her team, Because deep down she knows that she's exactly like her. Elena's finally cracking I love the mini Jaquin on the chocolate fountain At this point I'd say put that Fountain out of its misery, you really just don't need it He just cringes at the mention of fireworks, I wonder what happened with that … That ladder is not securely put up,I just feel like she'll end up falling off if it's like that… But wait, don't you already know Elena? They lured her out now quick, Tire her down and force her to relax! Elena, this is an intervention Doña just looks so smug and happy to be the party planner now and you know what, at this point she deserves it. it wouldn't hurt for Elena to just make some battle strategies but I guess if they've been training for a while... And Julio is wearing his fancy vest! Hello darkness my old friend And Francisco's using the gavel now! “-a relaxing stress-free Girl's Day!”  I have Never seen a greater look of concern than the one on Ixlan’s face At this point Isabel can't help but laugh at the irony of it all The jokes in this episode though I see that Sleeping Beauty reference Ixlan is not amused by the silly hats I'm surprised she knows that much about Alonzo (I can just hear the fanfiction being written) Just punch it! Although it's probably an illegal move… It's like they need to carefully quarantine Hector from everyone else, Ixlan picked her up! She can ride a horse! Jaquin water skiing is best sport Beach outfits! Also it's really nice to see Dulce, Migs and the kids again Whoa, she's doing a sacred Meruvian thing No Isabel. You're going to snap her out of the Peace! Well I mean she does seem the super flexible she probably would beat you at any pose Yep, she wins I wonder if the Meruvians did had wars and conquered people, I mean there probably weren't only monsters to conquer That's interesting in the second episode they were trying to emulate that culture, and now she's worried about being culturally offensive  Mingo you're just too Precious That's good, if you bury her in mud she can't escape and grab the sceptre That mud has the consistency and sound effects of jam. “What is wrong with me?” “ I have been compiling a list” Naomi and Isabel are the true villains of this episode They have no sense of Gene savviness whatsoever The ultimate chase scene! Oh no emotion Magic! Ixlan just has the best lines ever Also that's a major fallacy not telling one of your main allies about the whole dress emotions thing, maybe they haven't trained enough. Elena Hated ballet as a kid... let me just write that down for fanfiction purposes... It's just like when everything glitches out in g-mod! Mingo being adorable Everyone gets dropped down gently except for Ixlan “I am adding this to my list of things that are wrong with you!” And everything goes to chaos Then again that's what happens when you make a cake 3 days before the actual coronation, It would probably have gone hard by the day And of course all the decorations have to fall down, of course!!! Poor Octavio, He didn't deserve this He's holding a torch for no other reason other than for things to get lit on fire You don't jump up when there's going to be an explosion you get on the ground! Oh boy they're lucky the bridge didn't blow up Spoke too soon about the bridge Isn’t Someone going to comfort the princess? Good Naomi good Fix the bridge with magic Wait no Octavio could come and save the day! Just fill the bridge with broken fountains! Or just use the crystals, that works too Eek! Doña and Julio Are finally working together! Well that's one way to pave a road Armando and Marlana! It looks like Octavio stayed on after all, now that is true dedication IXLAN PICKED UP DONA! She definitely wins, Without a doubt. Oh Julio

That was a pretty great episode. It was hilarious, We got to see a bunch of characters we haven't seen in awhile and it was nice to see them again! And Ixlan Is officially the best. And of course I've learned as an audience member not to get worried about the party the characters are planning when I'm watching the show because I know ultimately it's all going to be fine. Yes it will all be fine I keep telling myself. It. Will. Be. Fine.

I noticed that all the very young royals in EOA have one thing in common: the colour green. So I decided to draw a picture of them all together! 💚 Isa, Caterina and Ari all like building things, and Nico likes flying, so they're all building a glider together.

I'm still not over The Lightning Warrior, so here's a picture of young Elena, Victor, Esteban and Isabel cooking together.  (Whatever it is they're making, it's going to end up a lot more peppery than the recipe originally required it to be).

It was @a-lilacsong‘s birthday yesterday so I decided to draw the Six Fanarts prompt she gave me a bit ago :D

Elena of Avalor Appreciation Week Tuesday: Darkness and Light

I decided to paint a watercolour picture of the spirit tree for this prompt because unlike most afterlifes, the EoA spirit world transitions from the place where the dark spirits live to the light all on the same giant tree.

I made a moodboard of Victor's smile.

I drew this back in January of 2020. I was feeling in an angsty mood about Carla being in jail all alone, but then I re-watched “To Save a Sunbird” and realized that she wouldn't be alone, because this little guy is in the dungeon too. So I drew this and I felt a lot better.

[Image ID: Two pictures,The first is a pencil and ink drawing Carla Delgado from Elena of Avalor with a Xolo dog. The second is a screenshot from the EoA episode “To Save a Sunbird.” End ID]

I did the the “Six Fanarts” challenge again, this time using recommendations given to me by my friend, @lilystar244 ! I had a lot of fun drawing this one, and technically it's a crossover because they're all wearing Mabel-made sweaters.

Here's a list of the characters in order from left to right:

First Row: Naomi Turner - Elena of Avalor Mabel Pines and Waddles - Gravity Falls Alya Cesaire and Trixx - Miraculous Ladybug Second Row: Peridot - Steven Universe Little My - Moomin Stitch - Lilo & Stitch

[Image ID: A pencil crayon and ink drawing of all the above-mentioned characters. In the first row, they are all taking a selfie together. In the second row, Peridot is distracting Little My so Stitch can set up a prank with a fire extinguisher. End ID]

Victor reminds from one of those old film Noir movies, and I just love that style of of suits and hats. I haven't done a grayscale pencil drawing in over a year, and I think this turned out very well.

I love the lace on these dresses, and when I remembered that I had fabric with baby ducks and turtles on it I couldn't resist making a dress out of it. 🐢

[Image ID: Two pictures of the same handmade, felt doll of Carla Delgado from Elena of Avalor, wearing different dresses.

The second dress is baby blue with bubbles, green turtles, and yellow ducklings on it. End ID]

These are the second two dresses I made for my doll. It took me awhile to make a pattern that actually worked for making doll dresses with a bit of help from friend I was able to perfect this pattern. 😀 [Image ID: Two pictures of the same handmade, felt doll of Carla Delgado from Elena of Avalor, wearing different dresses.The doll is made of light and dark brown felt for the body and hair, with an embroidered face.

This is a doll I made of Carla Delgado, back in March 2020, out of felt, thread, and patterns I designed. I designed her hair so that I can put different braided yarn through to match the different dresses I made for her. These are the first two dresses I made for her! 😀

Pili is a large orange-brown weasel, with a dark brown stripe running down his back and dark brown points on his paws and muzzle. Chatana is sitting down holding Pili in her arms. They are both looking to the right. The poses and composition of the drawing are based on Leonardo Da Vinci's “Lady With an Ermine.” End ID]

Today is Friday, June 19th, 2020, which means it is the 250 day anniversary of the premiere of “The Magic Within.” In honor of that I created this sonnet:

Two hundred and fifty days it has been Full of waiting and thinking and moping Since the premier of The Magic Within All that I have been doing is hoping

Hoping that the plot threads will all end well Even though current prospects look quite bleak How the future will go, no one can tell And I can hardly wait another week

When will Carla be released from the jail And when will Victor be brought back from stone Will they forgive Esteban’s betrayal They may not, the answer is still unknown

But in a month, new episodes will start So I will be patient and not lose heart

This is a picture of Charoca and Charica I made using watercolor paints.

I noticed that Elena’s dress (post “The Magic Within”) turns orange when she's mad, light blue when she's calm, and pink when she's feeling love, just like Charoca and Charica do when they feel those emotions. 

That thought inspired this comic.

I wanted to do the “Six Fanarts” challenge, so my friend recommended me six of her favorite characters to draw. Then I sent the picture to her so she could colour it in because she absolutely loves colouring. 

Here’s a list of them (Right to left, first row then second row)

Chat Noir - Miraculous Ladybug Momo & Prince Zuko - Avatar: The Last Airbender Prince Xander - Fire Emblem Fates The Little Prince - The Little Prince Toothless - How To Train Your Dragon Ford - Gravity Falls

I was re-watching “A Spy in the Palace” and noticed two things which I hadn't noticed before.

First of all this is adorable.

Second of all, isn’t it weird that Victor just happened to have this picture of Queen Lucia’s tiara in his coat?

Now it doesn't seem like something that he could have just found in the palace when he went there, or gotten from someone in town. It also seems unlikely that Shuriki had it, because why would she store a picture of the tiara in some secret place to retrieve later, when she could have just done the same with tiara itself.

So my theory is that Victor drew this himself. (It would explain where Carla got her artistic talent from).

It is definitely a very good drawing (In some ways, it's more detailed  than the actual tiara)

Here's my drawing for the discord weekly challenge of Princess Rebecca, Princess Chloe and Princess Valentina! They're having an ice cream party.

I drew this picture for the Elena of Avalor 2019 Secret Santa, it was really fun to draw and colour!

(I colored Elena’s hair flowers to match the baby Jaquins. Also, she is wearing globe earrings that were given to her by Mateo.)
