Ladies, gents, and fam, I give you my new comic canon OC--

A baby boy 😌

Now you may be asking yourself- "Wait!!! Isn't that @dingbat-things 's OC?? THAT Zen???" And, why yes, that's because it is! ☝️

"Is this MOTHERHECKIN THEFT" you might say (if you're a troublemaking rabble-rouser) - but no! This has been, in fact

✨️random adoption!✨️

Dings has been absolutely lovely and actually gave Zen to me since they know how much I love him as a character ❤️ It was truly out of nowhere but I'm IMMENSELY grateful, and I look forward to including him in the main story.

Brief note: So Benta canonically has a spontaneous box baby! But I want to point out the au drabble I wrote for them back in May is going to stay an au, so he will not be losing an arm lol. Seriously he's had enough happen already and it'll only get worse from here--

AND IN OTHER NEWS, I also give you,

A very lovely lady, Dings' new OC Dew 💖

In light of the nonsense with ppl accusing perfectly upstanding artists of sTeALiNg, I decided to help show off Dew's uniqueness with a gift art -v- Including some fluff on her back and a few more freckles just to give her a tiny extra zing (that she realistically doesn't need from me- she's already a sparky little gem).

This is the least I can do in exchange for the gift of such a sweet baby boy as Zen, and plus, I had a lot of fun drawing both of them. Both gorgeous beans, and I'm looking forward to having Zen in my artwork along with all the others! ( ^▽^ )

Small bonus below the cut 👇

Zen got turned HECKIN PINK with one of the default camera filters.

And still the cutest little bug.

Have a lovely day! 👋

May i ask, how would your Two react, if oneday when he was searching for food or maybe just materials, he were to find, lets say hmm the baby Mewtwo Zangoose fusion, what would their thoughts be

(just curious :D)

My friend, I am glad you ask 😌

Being that Benta has become accustomed to pokemon avoiding each other and the cities being significantly less populated and noisy, finding a random infant would come as...well, quite a shock. And rather horrifying given the state of everything. It could imply a number of unwelcome things.

He's a natural dad-type in personality though when it comes to babies, and has an enormous soft spot for them. His first instinct is to drop whatever he's currently doing and find somewhere safe for them, perhaps any friendly pokemon who might be willing to care for the young even if they aren't the same species. Even a well-preserved pokemon center or orchard could be preferable under the circumstances.

Coming across a baby that looks like him though?

Hybrid or not, he just might end up keeping them close to himself if there's no other indication of a parent around.

Hello mun! I know i can always dm, but I just wanted to check up on you! Make sure you are doing alright! Hehe also have this tiny sprite of a Zoruark >:)

Awh, thank you, I really appreciate it 🩷 I think I'm okay, just having a hard day for seemingly no reason other than feeling sick ( T v T ) Keeping myself quiet while listening to MASH and trying to rest for the most part.

Have an in-progress shot from my art phone that I've been scribbling on to make some kind of progress today

I like the watercolor brush in the app. Feels calm and cathartic to be a little messy with it. (And the bottom layer of the page roster is from my sketchbook. I always do pencil sketches first before tracing them on autodesk where I can add, change, and fix things.)

Also thank you for the zoroark gif! I haven't seen that since playing Black/White, and it's rly cute 🫶

NOOOOOOOO the baby can't die!!! Insert intense sobbing

*shoots intense look at mun* "I BEG YOUR FINEST PARDON"

OH MY GOODNESS NO-- I WOULD NEVER, I HAVE STANDARDS! No one's dying in that arc, I promise!

"Okay good, they better not."

At least not that I've planned specifically.

"What was that--??"

*scoots plot papers under the rug* Nothing- nothing.

Head cannon for our silly little Au

Benta once thought he lost Zen and began panicking and searching for him until he eventually found him curled up in his hat.. Because if Zen can fit he will infact sit..

I also like to think that if Zen were to fall over and cry because he grazed his leg, Benta would tell the floor off to make Zen feel better

Additionally, the reason he didn't think to look in the hat is because Zen was under it. Flipped it over on top of himself while he was asleep lol.

Basically like that hour-long search for kitten sleeping in a tissue box.

And I'd like to think he'd stomp the floorboard where the baby tripped like when Newt from TC's blog stomped the anon that tried to threaten her with cake ultimatums XD @dingbat-things

I draw way too much

*has a slice of newt's favorite cake, I won't give it to her until she transforms into her mega evolved form and says I'm a cute, adorable m
