Yay, very cool to see these in their final form! :) I love the font you've chosen for Thomas's handwriting, and Ivy's, and Kincaid's is not what I would have imagined but nicely fitting, actually! the print-written no-frills letters with a lot of strength behind them.

What are the dates marked off on Thomas's calendar? *nosy*

And now I wonder how many red flags I raised at Google, searching in short time and from the same IP for “planner”, “politician”, “Glock rounds” and “girl’s winter coat”…

LOL! XD

According to Harry in White Night, Thomas is hardly legible, which I couldn't have in this case, of course. :) So I aimed at something between messy and still effortlessly pretty. I'm still a little doubtful about that, as it looks a little too much "font" rather than "handwriting"; then again, everything visual about Thomas looks too good to be realistic, so...

There are "kid" fonts, but I used to write like this when I was four. I decided that Ivy must write with a little creepy, tongue-between-teeth meticulousness of a perfect first grader, if a little lacking the motoric control to keep the line.

Kincaid's hand I needed simple, solid, swift and a little inhumanly sniper-like precise. At least until he feels defeated. :) What your version would look like?

What are the dates marked off on Thomas's calendar? *nosy*Most important things noted down in the main pages, a lot of them probably regarding Harry. The ones in the previous weeks are already striked off (and if you're asking about these, I don't know, just something :D ), and ( ... )

I think it works well for messy + effortlessly pretty + too perfect to be human, so, just right :)

Painstaking "textbook" cursive in pink... pencil? feels very right for Ivy!

I was thinking a "bolder" handwriting for Kincaid -- larger letters, thicker line, more angular (sorry, my graphology is showing) -- but this is actually much better, because you're right, it's no-frills and precise and very controlled.

Speaking of graphology, the long lower zone strokes on Thomas's handwriting are a sign of a sensual nature, so, nicely chosen :)

The ones in the previous weeks are already striked off (and if you're asking about these, I don't know, just something :D ),

Yeah, those were the ones I was wondering about, whether it was, IDK, going off with the Wild Hunt or sneaking off to see Justine or something else recurring and specific :)

And how could I let it pass? :)

I had planned something more "square" indeed, but when I had come across the font I finally used, it sort of clicked as right. Couldn't really be thicker, though, because this one is already in felt-tiped pen rather than regular one.

I hoped for this sort of interpretations. :D I didn't think about this particular one, so especially thanks for adding it, but strings of words are all over the place with the prevailing dropping direction - tidy and ordered optimist Thomas ain't... Also, names are bigger. Except Lara, but there he tried to fit into the limited space. Inari was supposed to be in pencil (he may have some ( ... )

The shopping list is perfect!

And so is Thomas putting down notes to make sure he protects Harry.

He must be really overworked with this... I'm glad you liked these pieces. :)
