Decided to make book covers for two of my favorite stories from Tales of the Peculiar! It’s a fantastic book if you’re into fairy-tale-ish/folklore kind of stuff, then I’d really recommend giving it a read.

I’m,,, so excited hhhhh

IM HYPE IM HYPEIMHYPEIMHYPEIMHYPE

Millard: Hey, what’s the difference between me and this salad?

Miss P: The salad’s healthy?

Millard: hahah!

Miss P: hahaha!

Millard: Actually, I was gonna say the salad is dressed.

Miss P: I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that.

Fiona Frauenfell.

Peculiars + present day Valentine's Day

Fiona: grows flowers that Hugh’s bees especially like. Of course, for Hugh she’d give him a painting of them together (I’d imagine her to be an amazing painter and artist)

Hugh: old but gold, he’d shower her in every single chocolate known to man; KitKats, kisses, crunch bars, Hershey’s, boxes of chocolates, those nice raspberry chocolate bars near the cash register at Nordstrom, absolutely everything! He read that chocolate improves moods and makes people happy and all he wants is for his gf to be happy

Enoch: I imagine him to write Horace a nice love letter. Enoch, not being able to fully grasp his emotions tries to write it out instead, but it comes out a bit awkward and confusing if not cute and dorky. Also a nice pillow for Horace to rest on :)

Horace: he’d definitely shower Enoch in pastries! Much like Hugh, but instead of chocolates, mini cakes and all of Enoch’s favorite sweets. Also, some nice clay sculptures that he made secretly. (It absolutely melts Enoch’s heart that Horace tried to make clay sculptures for him even if he can’t tell what they are!)

Millard: decides to make cards for miss peregrine, Bronwyn and Olive and Claire. With his neat, organized handwriting, his calligraphy skills are on point and he makes Miss Peregrine smile as well as make Olive, Bronwyn and Claire smile too

Olive: makes Bronwyn a cute drawing of the two!! Makes Bronwyn tear up as the messy mix of paint and the smiles of the drawings make her day

Bronwyn: Gives the girls boxes of chocolates and gives Millard a nice card. They both don’t have a valentine so they figure it’s best to celebrate their friendship over cards.

Claire: makes Millard a “painting” which is really just a mix of glitter, pink paint, and blue paint “what I think you look like!” Claire says as Millard tears up

Emma: gives Jacob warm kisses and prepares a nice picnic for the two. They’ve wanted some alone time to relax and what better idea than a picnic

Jacob: gets out his favorite camera and phone and takes pictures and selfies of him and Emma!! After the picnic they go to the pharmacy and dispense the film into pictures to make a “Valentine’s day 2017” album!!

Millard Nullings moodboard.

Moodboard: The Women Who Befriended Ghost

“Even though Hildy could see ghosts, they were not easy to talk to.Ghosts,you see, are a bit like cats- they’re never around when you want them, and rarely come when called.

“We cling to our fairy tales until the price for believing in them becomes too high.”
Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

Okay but if in the new book set in the present day, no one says to Horace, “1940 called, it wants it’s outfit back,” then honestly that will be such a wasted opportunity

“I can see the monsters.”

Moodboard: Jacob Portman

Mill boi aesthetic again because I’m running out of ideas and I love Nullings.

Imagine being a new peculiar and being introduced to the others like:

You: Hello Millard: Hi, I’m Millard Nullings. And I am invisible, obviously. You: Well… I can see that… Enoch: *groans* Millard: I saw what you did there! You: Hehe… You: Shall we continue this in-SIGHT-ful conversation over a cup of tea? Enoch: Will you two quit it? You: What? Enoch: Please? Millard: Oh please, Enoch. We’re just… claying around! Enoch: *groans even louder*
