🧙‍♀️So, you think your stepmom might be a sorceress🧙‍♀️

Common problem. Well, common for fairy tales, at least. But, have you thought that she might not like you putting her in a box and deciding what she is before you even get to know her? It's something you might want to think about. Definitely because you shouldn't be prejudiced. Also because if she's really a sorceress do you really want to make her mad?

😈 The Creature: Ipupiara

A hairy, smelly merman who's just trying to keep up with the trends.

The Ipupiara

Black-and-white historical illustration of the ipupiara, a monstrous humanoid sea creature standing upright on land near the water’s edge. The creature has a broad, human-like torso covered in short hair, clawed hands raised outward, and a long, tapering lower body that ends like a seal or fish tail. Its head is animalistic, with pointed ears, a wide eye, whiskers, and sharp teeth. A human figure behind it reaches forward as if pushing or attacking the creature. In the background are rolling hills and a small settlement of buildings, rendered in a rough woodcut style.
