Do You Have any Ixlan and Antonia Headcanons ? 🤩 Please🤩! And also I did read you Ixlantonia Fanfic called Translation 🤩and it was so Freaking cute 🤩!!!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed my story! 🤩 I do have some headcanons about how they met and how their relationship grew, here they are (I use they/them pronouns for Ixlan here):

The first time that Antonia saw Ixlan was during that scene in “The Lightning Warrior” episode when Victor and Carla apologize to Elena. (We can see briefly that the guard that led them in was Antonia, so logically that was the first time she saw Ixlan.) When most of them leave to go talk to Quita Moz, Antonia begins to ask the Delgados about Ixlan. (“What is Ixlan like? How strong are they? How are they so amazingly good looking?”). The two tell her what they can, but suggest she go and introduce herself and get to know them personally. Antonia is too nervous to do it that day.

She doesn't get to formally meet them until a guard training session a few days later, when Ixlan came by to see how strong the guards were. They are not very impressed by the guards drills, and decide it would be best to test a guard’s strength in one-on-one combat.

Everyone is intimidated by Ixlan’s strength and personality, but Antonia accepts the challenge. Ixlan is impressed by her tenacity and fights her fists vs sword.

The fight goes on for longer than expected, Antonia is able to hold her own with the sword and make clever quips during the fight. Eventually, though, Ixlan is able to disarm her, but is quite happy to have found a worthy opponent (Plus some of those quips were quite…intriguing to the Lightning Warrior, they definitely wanted to get to know Antonia better now).

They start having regular meetings whenever Antonia is not on guard duty. They do things like talking a bit about their cultures, sparring, and having witty banter with each other, enjoying spending time together

Antonia began to see the depths of emotion and wit within the Lightning Warrior. They weren't just good looking, they had a noble heart, and strength of will. Antonia's feelings grew much deeper than just a crush.

Occasionally Ixlan spoke about their past to Antonia. Previously they were able to work out some of their feelings of grief and regret with Quita Moz, but having Antonia leaning beside them listening to everything warmed Ixlan’s heart. She said such comforting things and even in the times where they were bott quiet it felt reassuring. Ixlan hadn't felt that in a long time. That's when Ixlan began to consider asking Antonia if they'd like to be their girlfriend.

But in the end it's Antonia who decides to finally ask Ixlan if they could maybe start dating each other. They respond:

“Isn't that what we were already doing?” “No, I mean like not just friendship dates, but romantic dates.” “Oh yes, I was going to ask you that myself.” Antonia laughed, “Well, it looks like I've just stolen your thunder.” Ixlan smiled.

From that point on, they were a couple.

What gave you the idea on Victor and Ixlan becoming friends?

Hi Anon, months ago when The Lightning Warrior came out I was really pleased and inspired by it (I still love that episode, it's probably my favorite). So then I started thinking about how, in a way, their current situations were kind of similar. Both of them had been magically sealed away and out of the loop for quite a while (relatively speaking) before they were both added to team Elena. And afterwards I feel like both of them would have some difficulty adjusting to it, so they would have that in common.

Even though they were reformed, people would still probably be pretty wary of Victor and Carla since they were wanted criminals for so long, so it would probably take quite a while for most people to warm up to them. But Ixlan wouldn't have that problem, the first time she met them they both saved her from imprisonment and then saved her again from a giant monster. (Also I like to think that after the battle with the Moyacu they finally had lunch, and even though the food was kind of cold by then, Ixlan really enjoyed it. And she probably drank it straight out of a pot without a spoon after they had gotten their own bowls because why not? It's faster that way.).

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.”
