HAPPY ALICE IN PLUNDERLAND!! (at least for us non fast-passers lol)

I’ve been OBSESSEDD with Alice by Heart as of late and have been meaning to make an Alice by Heart/Cinderella Boy animatic, so this new arc has given me the PERFECT opportunity to do so!!

I made this whole thing before reading any of the new arc so it’s not actually lore related it was just for fun ^^ i hope you all enjoy!!

[mothochrome]

I have been LOVING absentee and I have also been loving watching Buddy get a liiittle less cool and nonchalant every episode

like go girl! tear open that ziploc bag! hold that camera upside down! scream and run away from those ghosts! go victorian boy go!

because what better way to say “I love you” than to ram the one you love into the lady lovalorn oblivion

(oblivalorn) (oblovion) (oblovalorn)

also special shout-out to stock image kid!! You were the best pose reference I could have ever asked for

[mothochrome]

you know, he’s saving him from the fire. because um nox is still stuck in the fire. because he’s um trapped by his memories of that day and constantly blames himself for how his family got hurt. and hes uh also for real trapped. and chase is his saving grace. allowing nox not to blame himself anymore and. his self blame is the fire. trust.

Just one secret to make it come undone

I'm breaking apart, sorry.

You mean to say secretly being a human who turned into a key isn’t a metaphor for being trans and also that exclusively being able to meet in stories and not knowing where each other live in real life isn’t a metaphor for being online friends?

Like Nox must be at least a little afraid of what Chase might think of him after learning he’s a key, right?

Original Project Sekai cards these were based on under the cut!!

[jeimii7]

Cinderella boy fake comic shot.

I honestly got into the series as a joke but that backfired QUICK because I ended up enjoying it more than I expected. This won’t be the last of my fan work.

[mothochrome]

MORE Cinderella Boy fan songs!! This one’s from Requiem after Chase gets Buddy out of the claustrophobia coffin

Visit Original Link

Sooo if you know me, you know I have a tendency to write songs that DONT fit in my voice range and this one is no exception 😭 but it’s alright because in the hypothetical Cinderella Boy musical, Buddy would be an actual tenor who can hit these notes!!

Anyways you should totally join the Cinderella Boy Dub server :) it’s super cool and we’d love to have you join us, so heres the link! https://discord.gg/Avqpct299F the dub is not a musical BUT we can totally all talk about CB fan songs and also Chase Hollow’s always singing so Cinderella Boy is basically ALREADY a musical

Lyrics under the cut!

[mothochrome]

I come bearing more Cinderella Boy fansongs!! The key/melody definitely gets wonky in this one, but that's alright! It's so fun to explore these characters/scenarios via songwriting/writing lyrics, I'm actually obsesseddd with writing thesee :D

OKAY, so this one is a Deacon focus, it takes place in the antepenultimate Toffee Break chapter where he leaves mid story and has a little pep talk with Bronze! Deacon is such a cool character so this was so fun to write (You might have to read along with the lyrics though because I did not differentiate what Bronze and Deacon sound like lol)

Alsooooo!! I'm running a Cinderella Boy dub and the community there has really been inspiring me to write these, and we've still got some roles open (and a ton of storybook characters/extras to voice!!) and would LOVE to have more editors/sound mixers/artists/etc. on the team :)) Here's the link to the discord if you're interested in partaking in, or even just supporting the dub: https://discord.gg/Avqpct299F

Well, now that I've screamed to myself about the latest (non-fastpass) chapter for Cinderella Boy, I'll now subject anyone willing to a little theory of mine, because I could not pass this up once I saw this in the story.

I'll be putting this under the cut, since the speculation may be a bit long-winded, but otherwise, let's discuss the little artifact we saw at the end of the chapter.

This bad boy.

Now, at first, I did think that it looked like a firefly at first, since bioluminescent, glowing insect. However, when I looked at it a bit more, it didn't feel so much like a firefly to me. To me, it looked more like a cicada. And that's where this whole theory comes into play.

Keep in mind that I haven't done too much deep research into this, but I think I have enough information to make a simple point. (Also, thanks to @mothochrome for adding some points I didn't think about!)

So, talking first about the artifact itself. I thought that it was interesting that it looked like a cicada, so I went digging for what possible meanings it may have in fiction and mythology. A few different meanings came up, including death and rebirth, but also transformation and personal change. Considering the state that Buddy/Nox is in right now, and figuring that this thing is what caused him to turn into a key, I figured that the thematics are rather on point. Immortality also came up as a possible symbolic meaning, which I thought was something to note because keys can't really die. (At least, not unless they're shattered, and that's just a personal guess. When Silver was damaged, she simply couldn't reform in her keyple form.)

That was the most I had initially thought about it, but Lou brought up some pretty good points to go along with it! (And if you see this, bud, feel free to correct me if I misquoted you, or add anything that you want to share!) Regarding the themes of transformation and rebirth, he theorized that, if the artifact really was the thing that turned Buddy into a key, then maybe it only did so for a certain reason. That the only reason why it would turn someone into a key is because they needed to learn a lesson. It only calls to people who need to learn a lesson - be it about themselves or about the world - and possibly correlating with the archetypal key that they turn into.

In other words, this thing may be the physical embodiment of an Aesop.

If you know Aesop's Fables, you know that the stories typically end with a moral learned by the starring characters of each story. Like with The Boy Who Cried Wolf or The Tortoise and the Hare. Maybe the lesson that Buddy has to learn is that while the world may not always be on your side, there will be people to fight alongside you whatever your past may be. Even if you see yourself as the villain, you can still be the hero in someone else's eyes.

...but yeah. I'm not normal about this. If anyone else has any additions, I'd love to hear about them!

Inspired by my friend Kai (@diabolicalworldwriter), who wrote a BANGER fan song for the first chapter of Cinderella Boy, I also wanted to hop on the CB Musical train, so I wrote a song based on the season one finale!

I am by no means a songwriting/music theory genius (quite the opposite actually lol), so this is definitely not perfect, but I wrote it for fun and it was DEFINITELY fun to write!!

Soooo, heres my obligatory shameless plug!! If you want to participate in similar Cinderella Boy related antics, me and a few friends are running a CB dub together, and we still have a few roles open (plus practically infinite storybook characters open to voice!) and would also love to have more editors/sound mixers/artists/etc. So if you want to contribute, or just want to support the dub, heres the link to the discord! https://discord.gg/xdXVwZxN

+ Lyrics under the cut (they might really assist in being able to tell whats going on since I didn’t really differentiate between their voices lol)

[mothochrome]

Redraw of this panel because I think Buddy looked so pretty in it and also I need to practice my fun lighting!!!

[mothochrome]

this goofy ad reminded me of these goofy guys so I wanted to draw them!!!

[diabolicalworldwriter]

Messy art of our totally canon trans icon, Lattice the Imp, in (mostly) human form 😊

and the panels from canon, completely undoctored, in case you were like "wait??? Lattice is trans???" Yes. Lattice is trans. definitely.

I'll give the actual context on why we came up with this under the cut XD

I've been helping out with a dub project for Cinderella Boy (we're still looking for voices if you want to join!!! here's the link to join the server, and you can comment/dm me if you need more info. whatever works ^^)

One of my jobs has been typing up lists of all the characters per episode/all the characters in general and where they appear. Fun stuff, I love lists. I realized with the most recent episode's release that I'd yet to determine which imp said which lines. When characters are less distinctive I tend to give them a simple name (Spectator Lady 1, Guard 1, etc. etc.) and then I'll specify their lines next to that name. I'd taken the canon imp names and put them on the doc but not said to which imp they referred. This is a problem, as the imps are not the most... individual in their appearances.

I did not want to undermine any work Punko had done to make small features differentiate the characters. Wattle has distinctive horns, as does... I believe their name is Daub, judging by the author's note on Mister Mischief V (I take my cataloguing duties very seriously. too seriously, perhaps)

I was looking for more of these features. I spent about an hour and a half doing so... whoops.

But during said time I was also regularly updating my friend on my progress/befuddlement. Thus occurred this exchange:

(TL;DR: I assumed the imp that hands Buddy the lunch drink in MMII was Lattice, but that one has a slightly bent horn. Different from all the other bent horned characters. Lattice does not have such a horn in later panels, but I didn't want to add on yet another imp voice to be cast because there are so many one-off characters in CB, there's three pages of just names in one of my cast lists. We determined it's a horn modifier, like a binder kinda, you wear it for affirmation and vibes but can't go too long cuz that's not healthy. Therefore, trans icon Lattice. and I drew her trans femme because I love women and we need more in Cinderella Boy)

anyways that's it. that's the story. I love my friends, they're very silly and encouraging of the shenanigans. and if YOU want to be silly with us, you could consider joining the dub :3 I promise we are very nice most of the time and very weird even more often

We're still looking for Ralph, Myra, Beth, Dale, Chaz, and a large range of side/background voices, particularly within the storybooks, and I'm sure this list will only grow as episodes keep coming out lol (if you want to be the narrator that's a big role, shows up in a lot of arcs, very helpful. idk just thoughts, there are a lot of possibilities :))

[diabolicalworldwriter]

May I offer you a sad Buddy in these trying times?

You can't say no, it's too late, you've already got him. lol.

[mothochrome]

WHO ARE THESE DIVAS??

Their sibling relationship this chapter is EVERYTHING (hence why I felt I needed to make this lol)

from their first interaction in party crashers you just KNEW that if they learned to tolerate each other, they’d be such an iconic duo and also complete menaces to society, and they are both of those things 🔥🔥
