To mark the holiday season
and me being bored because my laptop is currently in for repairs, I’m going to be drawing some pictures of a couple peoples’ agents. It’ll be a mix of holiday stuff and summery stuff, because it’s currently summer in New Caledonia.For day one, we have Zingenmir’s agents Naergondir and Dawn McKenna taking advantage of Chez Thorondil’s temporary chocolate sale. Gotta get the bonbons before they’re gone-gone! /ba dum tss
I already have a list of scenarios drafted, but I’m always open to deviating or adding in other agents, so please feel free to volunteer yours. Please link me to visual references if you do. Permission is not required to volunteer your
victimsagents, but I do highly prefer it.Happy holidays!

My students are learning about Lucia (and other different holiday traditions), so I thought it’d be fun to illustrate something that isn’t just the usual holiday stuff. I’m glad it’s accurate!

Agent Morgan loses Whamageddon, and, in hS’s words, “demonstrates once again why she has such a reputation for reasonable and proportionate reactions.”
Dis and the Agent’s t-shirts do exist! I referenced some Doctor Who Christmas t-shirts.

New Caledonia has a lychee festival at Houaïlou in December each year! Liu Siyuan’s favourite fruit is lychee, so of course he would go. Also here are Jenni Robinson, Jacques Bonnefoy, Gall, Derik, and their kid Gadrik.

The 19th is not only the 20th anniversary of the FotR movie release, but also the start of Hobbit Yuletide! Naturally, Agent Kaitlyn of the Department of Floaters/Department of Character Protective Services wants to commemorate the occasion.
L to R: Alice the Mearas, Pâquerette Sacquet, agent!hS, Kaitlyn, Hild the Dunlending, Jareth the Uruk-hai (yes. I had to), Hypatia. Most of these are hS’s agents haha
(Edited to reflect Kaitlyn’s actual departments. Whoops ;P)

It’s Summer Solstice in New Caledonia, which is of course a great time to have a bonfire (though if you ask Agent Dafydd, any time is a great time to have a bonfire :P)
My agents Eledhwen and Christianne, plus some other HQ couples: Dafydd and Constance, Gall and Derik, The Reader and Naya, Ix and Charlotte, and if you squint, Jacques and Jenni. Some background buddies who are also there are: Mandy Singh and Lin Wei-ting, and Kaguya Hazama and Momoka Shigisawa.
Yes, that is a Groot-kind or Ent or general walking tree agent. They’re friends with DMFF Agent Rosalie, who is a naiad and is right next to them.
Yes, that is a Mary Sue in the bonfire. No, I don’t know which Sue it is :P
I referenced some of hS’s sketches and stuff of New Cal for this, so thanks!

It’s Christmas Eve! I’m having a proper Japanese Christmas, so I thought Kaguya and Momoka could also enjoy one — except it’s also summer, so they’re dressed down :P

One last picture! Here’s the Illian-Sims family making some very Middle-earthian gingerbread art…
L to R: Tanfin, Daphne, gingerbread Two Trees, Dafydd, Oleander, gingerbread Bag End, Constance, Belladonna, gingerbread Minas Tirith, and Jasmine. Yes, Jasmine is wearing an ugly PPC jumper. :P
ETA: Let’s pretend I remembered how much of his arm Dafydd actually lost + forgot to mention that hS enabled a good deal of this so thank you for that hahah

Is that a bucket of KFC on the table? Is KFC a Japanese Christmas thing? Is... is it kinda like the trope that lonely/broke/lazy people in the USA order Chinese take-out on holidays, because those places happen to be open, or is KFC considered way more classy in Japan than it is here? {X D
~Neshomeh isn't judging, she's having freezer-aisle junk food tonight (but Proper Holiday Food tomorrow).

KFC is indeed a Japanese Christmas thing! by

The lore is that because turkey isn’t a thing here, foreigners living in Japan resorted to KFC for Christmas dinner. Then Japanese people picked up on that (and the Christmas cake) and incorporated it into their traditions. I don’t know how accurate it is — KFC could have just done a great ad campaign back in the day and became associated with Christmas dinner. The point is more to have some fried chicken because you can’t get roast turkey here as easily.
That being said Japanese KFC is pretty good (well, not as greasy as American KFC and smaller portions) though the lack of mashed potatoes is egregious :P They also frequently have collaborations with Peanuts where you get a free bowl or cup (and it’s a nice ceramic one, too) if you buy a box meal.
This year I actually reserved my KFC bucket like… a month in advance. We got a bucket of chicken and tenders, a microwaveable lasagna-like thing, a brownie cake, and a decorative plate.

I believe this is the first time any of these characters other than Kaitlyn have been illustrated (plus maybe Alice), so this is really cool! I assume Takua gave Jareth the wig and told him it was a festive tradition. It's been six years since he first wore it, and he's far too proud to admit she tricked him.
I adore Pâquerette, who as far as I recall was just a throwaway name for a New Cal Hobbit. Now she's a proper character! Hild looks properly fun too; clearly I'm going to have to do more with Team Isengard in the future.
(Kaitlyn wishes she was DOOCH. She's Floaters/DCPS, as caseworker for Merry and Pippin, and has far too much of a work ethic to actually join the Hobbit Fan Club Department.)

Was just looking at her Wiki page and went “hold on” — her Shireboo must have been showing too hard if I assumed she was in DOOCH hahah.
I’m glad you like the designs!! If you do more with Team Isengard or Pâquerette let me know :)

There’s a sort of media upload page that collects all the pictures uploaded to the Wiki. After you put it there, you take the file name from it (so like Acacia.png) and add it to the info box section that allows for pictures.
Thanks!
