With all those TikTokers making “robot banana” jokes (and unfortunately being mean to fans), I’m just imagining Starcade Chuck chasing them all with that big wacky hammer of his.
I’ve started to make a base for when I start to design outfits for Starcade Chuck and I’ve decided to give him visible claw nails on his paws, since rats have claws in real life.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the different outfits I want to give Starcade Chuck.
It’s not even October yet but I already have a pretty good idea as to how his Halloween outfit would look. He’d be a vampire of course, and I was thinking about making him a tad fancier while I’m at it. He’d likely have a cape with glow-in-the-dark stars and gilded patterns all over his tux, as well as a monocle and perhaps a top hat to replace the derby!
There’ll also be a Christmas themed outfit but I’m still trying to get more ideas for that one. I know for sure he’ll be all decked out in red and gold and have a fur-lined suit.
Outfits themed after certain arcade games are also considered! Especially rhythm games.
And in case you’re wondering, the late 90s-2000s girl group I mentioned is Asterhythm. I decided to change the name since there’s already a musical group in real life called Asterism, plus it makes a great portmanteau like Stellectra does. It’s the same girl group the Honey Girls’ manager, Madeline (who’s another OC; sadly we don’t know if the HG even have a manager in canon), is from.
Madeline is likely going to be the next Honey Girls OC I’ll design. For her, I’m probably going to draw both her design when she was part of Asterhythm and her current design as the Honey Girls’ manager. Especially since she’s also a really important character to the AU.
I’ve also been developing how Stellectra would look in the mid-90s since they were also active further into that decade, but while I was researching trends in the 90s there were a lot of things that wouldn’t line up with their style since I ended up making Stellectra so aggressively 80s (they have even more Jem inspiration than the Honey Girls do, lol). Grunge was especially popular in the early to mid 90s (although 80s influences were still there during the early 90s).
It was easier for me to think about what music they’d make during the mid-90s than their fashion. Stellectra loved their synths. A lot. So what did they do? They discovered the early EDM scene and met pioneers of various subgenres of it, eventually incorporating it into their music. As for the fashion? There wasn’t a lot of popular fashion in much of the 90s (except for the late 90s, which I’m saving for another girl group I’ll develop later on in the Honey Girls AU that got especially popular in the 2000s) that were colorful, girly, and sparkly. There was the Clueless movie from 1995 that I could get inspiration from in terms of fashions, but I can’t really think of much else, especially since I’m also focused on developing stage outfits for Stellectra rather than outfits they’d wear off-stage.
Then again, the Honey Girls’ world doesn’t have to 100% line up with ours in terms of trends in fashions and music, especially since the Honey Girls’ time was when third spaces and colorful things were still abundant while we don’t have much of that anymore now.
In the Honey Girls AU’s timeline, Stellectra helped popularize Eurodance in the United States in the early to mid 90s after touring Europe and collabing with prominent artists of that genre.

⭐️ Meet Stellectra! This powerhouse of a girl group from the 80s and early 90s is sure to bring some groovy and electrifying vibes! 🩷💛🩵
Holy smokes… this took me FOREVER to make. I spent the entirety of June working on each of the trio’s designs and personalities. But it’s all worth it in the end!
I’ve been wanting to make another group of Honey Girls OCs who actually lived through the 80s and 90s in their timeline, since I’ve been super interested in retro styles in that timespan alongside that of the 2000s. Thought that would be a neat way to expand upon the lore of the Honey Girls since Stellectra is supposed to be very important to them in-universe (in this AU of course)!

report and block. i'd also appreciate it if you shared this post, bc that blog was JUST created and was already tagging a LOT of people, and i know not everyone has the scam-sensing instinct, even if this might seem obvious to some.
ppl have been saying this but i really do despise how much radqueer 4chan type bullshit is being spread thru queer tumblr space currently like. what are we fucking doing man. hating lolicons and nazis used to be normal
I’ve been thinking about how beautifully designed the Pocketville Castle is. I like that it combines majesty with fun in a way because it looks imposing, as the home of a monarch should be, yet includes the bright colors often found in castles and palaces from merchandise-driven series and the paw theming that’s prevalent in the In My Pocket series. Not to mention the Magic Fountain in front of it having a unique design and being huge.
The castle is one of the major settings in Adventures in Pocketville that help prove that the show had so much potential to develop its lore more, since it is the home of Princess Ava (a character who also has huge potential to include a lot of lore).
We get to see a few indoor areas of the castle, with three in particular looking very interesting. That being the throne room, Ava’s bedroom, and the kitchen.
They’re all quite detailed just like the castle’s exterior, with the throne room even having a high ceiling since it is the main room of the building after all. Where the monarch and the Royal Guards supposedly have their meetings. The heart themed furniture in Ava’s bedroom is adorable, especially the bookshelf. The kitchen also stands out because of its green walls. I will admit I wish there was something else in the wall behind the thrones rather than just a painting of the castle and the fountain, like perhaps a heraldry or something, and the paintings being of other Siamese cats rather than random dogs and kids, both of which would keep people wondering about a potential royal family of the Pocket Kingdom and therefore ponder about a backstory for Ava and Eva (since we barely got one in the show if any at all).
However, one area I’m not a fan of is the corridor. Or corridors, rather.
No windows, very little lighting, no decorations, and a very washed out color of walls. It makes sense for it to be an underground passage like in the third episode, “Evershell the Wise”, where Kate and her friends find a secret passageway that leads far outside the castle’s premises, but we also see the same kind of corridor used as the one leading to the throne room in episode “Heads Up”. Shouldn’t there be like a fancy antechamber or something that leads to one of the most important rooms of the castle along with a more decorated hallway?
We do end up seeing this view from Ava’s bedroom showing a more decorated, almost baroque style corridor that looks more like the bedroom itself with the yellow walls and such. But we don’t actually get to see any scenes that take place exactly in it.
Sometimes I wonder what other rooms the castle could have, especially since we only saw very little of what looks like a huge castle. Of course, I have my AU to work on that I can include more rooms, like the drawing rooms often found in real life palaces/castles along with more important rooms like an armory and more bedrooms since I’m also giving Ava and Eva more family members and such.
This show is really fascinating, and it’s always making me wonder about what lore it could have.
Even more writings from my Pocketville blog, though it’s instead an analysis about a canon location rather than an AU story. You can tell how much research I’ve done on a show I’ve been interested in for the past nine years.
- A more lore heavy Honey Girls AU that also serves as how I’d make a new generation of them especially since Build-A-Bear has been barely making content of them these past few years. Also contains some commentary about how the music industry is.
- An especially lore-heavy Puppy in My Pocket: Adventures in Pocketville AU that changes many of the events from canon, is based on the Renaissance and baroque periods, and looks like it’s straight from a fantasy book series.
- An unofficial redesign of Chuck E. Cheese if he was the face of an arcade-restaurant-entertainment place that’s more like bigger arcade places such as Round1, Dave & Buster’s, and the like.
Here’s my interpretation of the Friendship Heart’s origin along with an important OC in my AU that’s connected to Ava/Queen Avalina. It’s included in my AU so I’m going to use some AU terms though. I was inspired by the Sword in the Stone when writing this.
Content warning: mentions death, war, and violence (nothing will be very detailed though); it’s part of Queen Amalthea’s biography. It’s also a long read.
Amalthea, a powerful princess from an ancient noble family of Faelicour, escaped into the fields on a cold winter’s night after being told by her mother to flee the city when it was attacked by a demon army. As she was at the brink of losing all hope, she prayed to the celestials that she may have the strength and courage to save what’s left of her people and home.
She woke up, inside one of a nearby and untouched village’s houses, to hear a distant rumbling noise, and outside the window was a glowing, bright red meteor zipping through the night sky. She carefully looked to see where it may land, and it wasn’t long until she felt the vibrations of the impact that was not far from where the village stood.
Not long after, some of the villagers would go out into the cold and cautiously approach the fallen meteorite out in the fields, with Amalthea following them. What she would find amongst the space rock is a glowing red ruby-like jewel perfectly carved in the shape of a heart. As some of them murmured in curiosity about the jewel embedded in the meteorite, with some of them attempting to pry the jewel out of the rock to no avail, she stepped forward to inspect it.
As Amalthea placed her paw on the jewel, it seemed to glow brighter once it made contact with her paw. She then tried and take the jewel from the meteorite, which would prove a success. The jewel let out a magical shockwave that nearly knocked Amalthea over, as well as melting the rest of the surrounding snow and causing flowers to rapidly grow all over the grass. She felt newfound magic surge through her body as well. The village leader had proclaimed, “O, the Gods have chosen this young lady to disperse the evil with her pure heart, to become that very beacon for all of us to follow, to rule with kindness, peace, and goodwill.”
Feeling a new sense of the very strength and courage Amalthea had prayed for, she stood up with confidence, clutching the jewel to her chest and saying, “We must gather all those who are strong enough and wish for the turmoil to end, to save our lands from this great evil. We must prepare to head to the city to vanquish those demons once and for all.”
Of course, there was a huge battle in the field not far from the ruined city. Amalthea, along with surviving nobles and brave commoners who have trained well to fight such beasts, defeated the powerful demon army with the jewel proving a great help. She used this jewel to banish the leader of the demon army back into the netherworld. After defeating the demons, many of the creatures would catch sight of Amalthea with the jewel next to the sunrise, immediately seeing her as the one who shall be their new queen of a new era.
Amalthea entered the ruins of the city and eventually what was once the palace. She then learned that her immediate family sadly did not survive the siege, and had perished not long after she fled. She weeped underneath the only tree in the garden that had survived— a lone sycamore— knowing that she couldn’t save them. Her tears mixed with the flowing magic from the jewel, which caused something magical and grand to happen. What had magically materialised right before her eyes was a palace even bigger and grander than her old home, and with that, a fountain in the middle of the front garden and new, young saplings and flowers growing all over. But most of all, the jewel gently pulsated next to her chest as she was telepathically told: that her family will always be in her heart.
Not long after much of the city was rebuilt and Amalthea settles in the new palace would she appoint new people to work in it, with many becoming part of her inner circle. They worked hard to both help establish a new nation and make preparations for Amalthea to become the first Queen of their new nation, which they had named Faenima. A brand new collar was made to hold the jewel, decorated in symbols important to Amalthea and the folk belief of these creatures. And so, on the first day of spring, she was eventually crowned as Queen Amalthea d’Aulicor, Queen of Faenima.
