It had been a long time since I had drawn the Prince, which is a shame because he's always really aesthetically pleasing in the weirdest way.
People requested I 1) draw the Prince happy 2) for someone to braid is hair. Of course this someone must be his mom because he's a mommy's boy.
Now onto spicier stuff, I've been toying with the idea of the original prince actually surviving (gasp) and being brought up by the forest witch. The contrast between changeling boy trying his best to look human despite growing more and more trollish vs the actual human prince being almost feral is really cool to me.
The idea is that in the process of making the changeling, the heart of the prince was taken from him, so now all he has his an hole and god knows what in there. It does mean that he can literally feel nothing. He just feels numb and passionless, he doesn't get mad or sad or happy, and he just listen to what his 'mom' tells him to do without ever fighting it.
The real drama comes from the fact that even just looking at his 'mom' and other 'normal' creatures, he can tell that being numb is not the norm, so he wants to find his heart to feel things, but the witch isn't super set in actually helping him because what's better than a mindless, feelingless boy to do your bidding ?
Or I can just call it 'even more sad blond boys AU'
