Accurate lol
Thought I should try this
I was literally gonna post the same thing lol. Yeah I'd say probably Rafal.
In my opinion, it's Rafal, cause he seems more matured and probably seems older (in my view) than Rhian.
What do y'all think? Cause it suddenly popped up in my mind while I was making my comic bruv 👁️👄👁️🤚
I finally finished my sorcerer of the sea fanart!
If you couldn't guess by now, sorcerer of the sea is the pirate captain x rhian lol
@atropinenightshade here's the finished thing :)
Coldness -> Hunger Headcanon (and it includes reference to Rafal's infamous plate-smashing habit):
Disclaimer: There's only a little evidence for this being true, and I might be projecting, so I could be far off. It just made sense in my head and I've been thinking about it lately.
There could be other, more human reasons for Rafal’s coldness aside from magic, a formerly Evil soul, or He’s Just Like That.
This thought was inspired by the characterization of BBC’s Sherlock, and myself to a much lesser extent. (I tend to crank Rafal's traits up to extremes because he's an even worse all-or-nothing person than I am.)
Also, apparently, according to Google, I seemingly have zero “normal” hunger cues? I wasn't aware that being cold was “abnormal” until now. Does anyone relate to this or is it just me? I know it cannot reasonably be just me.
Moving on, the canon evidence is:
The "skinny snowman" line from Rise, if the implication of thermal (not figurative) coldness follows "snowman."
That one time when he sat watching torture for a few days without moving at all.
So, the headcanon is that Rafal forgets to eat. Or thinks he’s too absorbed in stuff going on to eat or that eating is beneath him. Any explanation will do. And, his hands (or body) become cold as a result, as the only physical signal of hunger, extremities first.
The second headcanon that incidentally came out of this is that Rafal would make a incredibly talented Gamemaker for the Hunger Games, haha—not good.

[In the silver tower:]
Rhian: Rafal! EAT something. That is an order.
Rafal: [petulantly] No! I haven’t finished these Trial plans! I can't decide if death trap #263 should go in the Cyan Caves or Pine Glen. The caves would trap them—so only one exit, which could be blocked for best results in eliminating the greatest number of competitors at once. But, the pines are disorientingly-spaced at extremely regular intervals this year—meaning, they'll get lost sooner without distinct landmarks or will feel unsettled and dizzy by the uncanny repetition of the maze since it'll be man-made...
Rhian: Well, actually, about that—
Rafal: [derisively] Don't need your input, Sir-'Only-Kill-In-Self-Defense.' I'm not reconsidering at this late stage. If this is about your famous health-aging-and-mortality lecture, that doesn’t work on me anymore. We’re immortal. It doesn’t matter and never will. Now, stop wasting time on right silly things.
Rhian: I know you think digestion of a large meal will slow you down, but at least eat something small or regular-sized. Please. Aren't you hungry? It's been three days.
Rafal: No. I don't feel a thing. I haven't felt a thing in... I've lost count. Stop bothering me and go away. I have to finish this first.
Rhian: Have you looked in the mirror lately?
Rafal: No. Why would I need to? I always look excellent, I'll have you know.
Rhian: [sighs] You’re cold. Have you noticed? For all your keen powers of observation, you're tremendously bad at paying attention to your physical self. I bet you're tired, too, and in denial about it.
Rafal: I'm not tired and I’m always cold. I shouldn't even have to dignify those sorts of questions with a response. Your point?
Rhian: [points at Rafal.] You're being a child. And you're irritable.
Rafal: Well, I wouldn't say I'm a proper delight either. Learn to moderate your expectations like the rest of them. Now, say something worth my time or leave.
Rhian: We don't have to go through this every time. Look. Your fingers and lips have turned blue.
Rafal: So?
Rhian: All right. I’m leaving this plate, with this food on it, next to you. You haven't forgotten what food is, have you? And I'm not talking about that inedible slop your students eat.
Rafal: [rolls his eyes] Don't need it. [Has stopped paying attention—] Utensils... too finicky... plate takes up surface area on desk. No room for paper. Then I won't be able to concentrate on this. Deadlines.
Rhian: It's a sandwich. You'd know if you bothered to look up for even one second. Problem solved. The plate can go on the floor. No wastes of space. Nothing encroaching on your papers. You can use one hand to eat it and the other hand to finish writing down your plans. And light a lamp. You'll strain your eyes. [He sets the plate on the desk.]
Rafal: Bah—whatever. The dark suits me. [He tries to sweep the plate off the table like usual—]
Rhian: [snatches it out of his reach and sets it down safely on the floor.] When I come back, I want it gone. Not via sorcery. Not via loophole exploitation. But eaten. You will eat it and not throw it out the window at the birds. You will not stuff it under the carpet or in the rubbish. It will go into your stomach and that's final.
Rafal: [not listening] Yes, yes. Sustenance. Yatter-yatter about this and that and tosh. Got it.
Rhian: Look, I know you don’t need to eat, but you ought to. I also expect the same of this glass of water, [he sets it on the desk] and if they’re still here when I return, I will sabotage your all-important project and tell my Evers your Trial strategy, so they win. I'll even tell the pots and pans to cook something with actual nutrients in it for your students, which you seem to have forgotten about. Did you know they've been cutting classes? They don't work like you, you know, and you can't deprive mortals.
Rafal: [scoffs] You wouldn’t. You’re too Good to do it. And I'll tell Humburg to handle my Nevers, thank you very much.
Rhian: Ever heard of the greater Good? You’re looking right at it. Now eat.
Rafal: [groans and picks up the sandwich.]
Rhian: [smugly] Good.
Rafal: [mutters something about: what's the point of endurance and asceticism if they're never put to use? What's the point of training if it's never practiced? What's the point of immortality if you can't make use of your superiority over mortals with their trivial bodily needs—he peeks at what's between the bread.] Ah. Cucumber. You're forgiven.
Rhian: The things I have to live with— [He leaves and slams the door.]
OMIGOSH THESE ARE SO GOOD!!!
was working on this like a month or two ago and never finished it because school STOLE my motivation🤬🤬
anyway it was gonna be based off of the whole like “honesty without kindness is brutality” and “kindness without honesty is manipulation” with that scene where they’re like facing off at the end of fall
but i felt like i should post this anyway because i would like to share this with the world🙏🙏
Yes, yes, idk the song and YES
Rafal would be “Carol of the Bells” because he’s dramatic like that.
Rhian would be “God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman.” (Ahem: “To save us all from Satan's pow'r / When we were gone astray.”) Alternatively, he’d be “Greensleeves,” and I don’t think I have to explain that one.
James would be “I Saw Three Ships.”
Vulcan would be “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.”
Not sure it's mentioned in canon but I think they're like 17-19
Imagine an AU where Rafal and Rhian are still immortal sorceresses however now they have to RAISE the children the Storian deems worthy of its story like- imagine them taking care of toddlers
Hester arguing with Sophie
Hester: Can I say a bad word?
Rafal: Uh-
Hester: Can I say a bad word?!
Rafal: Yeah-
Hester: YOU MOTHER F#*&ING B#TCH!
Rhian: That is 2 bad words. Time out for you missy
Rafal: *cracking up*

Rhian holding Sophie: she is beauty she is grace she can't punch you in the face because she just got her nails done and her creams are too expensive to risk for her to sweat
Rafal: You spoil that one too much
Rhian: NU-UH
-----
Rafal(Agatha confuses him): This one is so controversial *holding Agatha*
Tedros: *hits his leg repeatedly with a stick*
Rafal: Cease such foolish behaviour or I shall have you doomed
Tedros looking up at him: ... *Swings the stick again*
Rafal: that's it
Agatha and Tedros: *both in time out*

Evelyn: WHERE IS MY CHILD SUPPORT RAFAL?!
Rafal: what- 💀
-----
Rhian: For the last time Caliss we just follow orders we can't give you your daughter back-
Callis: I just came to give her, her toys.
Rafal: ...Callis that's a bunch of sticks rocks and a hay ragdoll-
Callis: And you hold the wand like this-
Rafal: STOP TRYING TO TEACH HER WITCHERY SHE'S A GOLDEN STAR KID!
Rhian: let her be. We'll need Sophie's prince to burn a witch on the rug later on
Rafal: I can't with you-

this audio reminded me of them if rafal was like a ghost and randomly appeared during tlea lol
also the proportions are like NOT the best but i think it's too late to fix😔
The book Rise of the School for Good and Evil is so fruity and I’m not even halfway yet it’s crazy. Like yeah Rhians crushing over a Tall dark man and Rafal just kissed a guy and shared his breath with him and was like “Dw I just breathed myself into you or smth is temporary unless you like it” LIKE WOAH SOMAN THE MAN YOU ARE
RHIAN CAN DEFINITELY SING IDC WHAT PPL SAY
I need to listen to this song just for this piece 🙏🏻
oh my lordy art block has been beating me up for a month🥀🥀

My newest Rhian digital drawing (2025) vs oldest Rhian digital drawing (2022). Did he yassify more with time oof-
And more art dump because academics is academiking and I'm experimenting on how I draw the twins a bit (though might return back to old style)
A proud Rhian fan since day 1 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Gift Artwork for my friend @clockthingalt @clockthing , self proclaimed CEO of Rhian Mistral and @/pink_washes_away_the_red_sky on Instagram.
This was actually supposed to be part of a series of artworks called "OPERATION: Project Valentine" (which got discontinued 😞) that I planned for my friends but university is kicking my ass.
I'll try finishing the other artwork that was also part of this "operation", however there are still many more that are still sketches, which is why I discontinued it especially with the clash of personal schedules. I'll also be posting a finished artwork on White Day for another friend of mine as a little thank you gift from the Valentine's surprised I got from them ehehe.
You can also find me on:

Rhian definitely felt like a knife was twisting in his gut whenever he was forced to look into Sophie's green eyes.
Impacto + the Mistral twins
I'm not sure if the song is in a romantic context, but please take it platonically and no, this is not a ship art
REALLY SHORT AND LAZY ANIMATION 💔
Please tell me if some of the translations are wrong. I am not Spanish nor I speak Spanish.
RHIAN!!! and rafal I guess..
They both look amazing and I love the outfits. AND THE HEART AHOGE. 🙏🏻 I love them sm
little thing for valentines day i never finished!!
fun fact: i started posting on tumblr a little after valentines last year and i remember wishing that i joined before so i could’ve made some valentines art, so this is kind of an ode to myself in a way🙏
How to be kind to your brother #1
Currently obsessed with paper textured canvas
guys help he's crying
I just realized I'm much more active now. School holiday is starting! And my artbl0ock is gone 🤍
Art dump
I'm sick right now pls pray for me
The first two pictures is heavily based on images I found on Pinterest ❕
Some artworks I made while procrastinating my math homework! (don't do this)
I'm experimenting with oil pastels. They're geniunely very tricky to work with since oil pastels aren't really suitable for clear details in artwork. But I think I like them! They're so fun to use! (The first picture is my oc Sol.)
The second one is unfinished and I did it with coloured pencils. I'll edit this post soon when it is done! The anatomy looks a little funny edit: ok its finished
I'm not afraid of colours anymore I am unstoppable!!!! /j
they look so edible and squishy ??? 😦njsejjnanasnkdasdakekkaka

Guess who finally joined in on the magical fala au!!! Except they're magical cats.. or furries or whatever this qualifies as
So here you go, magical fala and magical rhi
@wisteriaum I hope you like it :D
THIS IS SO GOOD. The colour pallette is amazing!!!+$(#(#
I love the manipulation part, honestly fits the atmosphere here. And it also fits our boy Rhian too.
Rafal and Rhian looks so cute here sjjskalalahskalala

this audio reminded me of them if rafal was like a ghost and randomly appeared during tlea lol
also the proportions are like NOT the best but i think it's too late to fix😔
Here are the fics im working on but liek i want to focus at one fic in the moment, but idk which
1. A Brother's Guilt
Rafal trying to investigate his brother's cause of cruel death. During full moon, he was surprised to encounter his brother's ghost; standing at the edge of his own bed, frowning at the window.
Rafal attempted to make contact by magic. But strangely, the ghost of his brother couldn't hear, nor could see Rafal but can see others.
Vulcan is also involved in this fic. (i hate him)
2. Flawed Company
I'm not sure how to summarize this one, but its about Midas, and Rafal as some kind of an angel? Midas is this researcher, strolling around the library one day until he's about to get murdered—then Rafal finally found him and saves him because he has a "purpose" and "commands" to be fullfiled, not because he wanted to.
Rafal is like this mythical being, made by some other powerful being to find a soul for reincarnation. (ok thats enough there will be a plot twist btw heheheheh)
Maybe we'll see Rafal getting humbled because in canon, what he did was not it 😒
3. Idk what to name this fic
A short fic about what I think would happen if Rafal actually agreed to join James' mission to defeat pan! (i love their dynamic!!!!!!)
Just pick any of them, it doesn't really matter. I'm just indecisive rn
