I was re-watching your what if there was more G2 ever after high and I only put it together now that you named Lizzie “Elizabeth Anne Hearts” because it’s EAH as in Ever After High

I had given up on anyone ever catching onto that joke since it's like one of my dumbest little references 😭, thank you for finally validating me that someone got it you're the realest one out there!

A silly thing for our OCs, but who would be the best behaved in the Doctor's to the worst. (Like regular checkups, nothing too bad.)

SDKFGHSDKFJ OKAY LET'S GOO

Morphine - as a medic himself and being dead inside he really doesn't care what's being done to him. Easiest to deal with. You could tell him he needs a surgery and he'd just shrug like ok whatever, now or do I have to come later?

Renfrew and Breeze - good and unproblematic babs. Don't like needles and painful stuff but won't show it (may complain a bit with Breeze may try being a bit flirty to lighten up the mood). It's no big deal but they do appreciate hugs afterwards.

MiniMint - she's fine, real good bean, deserves a sticker. If there are needles involved it will make her uncomfortable but she knows how to behave. Feels best if she's held tho 'cuz she's afraid she'll involountarily twitch and make things worse. But dw, that never happens. Probably won't ask for it but really appreciates some sweets afterwards. Get her some enerjuice or enerjellies. Distracting her withmaking her nerd out about rocket science will make her forget about any unpleasanties just as well.

Taffy - uhh are we talking before or after the trauma?

Before - he's flirty. Good bab, maybe a bit annoying if you have low tolerance for flirty goofballs. Theatrical drama queen when there's needles involved. Tries to cover up how much he doesn't want it. He's gonna need help calming down. It's not that he'd escape but he needs to be held for comfort. Panics more than it's worth. Afterwards needs to be taken for ice cream or else will sulk for the rest of the day like an offended princess.

After - needs his trinemates to hold him. Preferably restrained in a blanket burrito 'cuz he really doesn't like to be touched. Even for the slightest checkup he needs to be held close and softly talked to. And it's not even being a drama queen about it, the distress is real. Good thing at-home checkups are a thing 'cuz the poor bean wants to avoid any contact with anyone other that his trinemates and close friends. Good thing he has 2 medics among his frind group. Luckily eventually he improves to the point of being like before or even like Mini.

TerrorRain - will complain and be a bitch 'cuz he doesn't need no check ups. Will refuse to have stuff done to him, may need to be dragged in by someone strong enough even if it's just a check up. Doesn't fear needles but will not follow doctor's recommendations unless it later ends with shit going badly and him thinking "Uhh... I... probably should've listened." Much better chances of getting him to cooperate if the medic in charge is not Morphine. They're gonna be extra jerks to one another.

StrongSpark - he's a child of special needs. Can't understand what and why is happening around him and being blind surely doesn't help. Sure he spends a lot time at hospitals but that doesn't make him any less distressed or more used to it. The same procedures that normally take just a while stretch into hours as he needs a lot of preparations and comforting. And often some sedatives when he gets muscle contracture malfunction out of stress. Requires the most time of all listed here but is also most innocent. Sparky is the only bot Morphine has so much unending patience for. He gets lots of love from both his parents (yes, even Terry and Morph are capable of love). Years later he improves and manages to understand that the pain is usually temporal and just letting it happen will result in less of it. Oh and also he learns to talk a bit!

Have you ever thought about redesigning the characters from the Powerpuff girls (specifically Powerpuff Girls Z)?

I love your character designs & fashion they are so fun & cool

Ooh yes actually! I considered doing a vid like modernising it to try and match more current magical girl aesthetics, but then realised people might just click on my vid expecting just regular PPG and get confused when I start saying names like Momoko or Miyako since from what I've seen online people either really love or really hate Z for some reason???

Hopefully one day I can get to working on that vid, especially making some animatics for them and all!

From your recent Video, Imagine Strawberry gives out her baked treats to others and offers Raspberry some, Raspberry took some and acted like she doesn't seem interested but tried them and that deep down she likes it

I could definitely see Raspberry not being a fan of sweet treats and rejecting Strawberry's pastries a lot because of it, but being the resourceful berry that she is Strawberry figures that out and instead starts to bake her healthier fruit and oat protein bars for her track meets, which despite Raspberry's objections seem to always get eaten!

would you ever draw Lemon's father and brothers :3>

Love ur art btw

Absolutey yes! Can't explain why but I've really been in the mood to draw some adults recently (mainly Strawberry and Raspberry's parents) but I'd love to get around to Lemon's family too!

Fashion question!! What's the type of ring that Faybelle is wearing? The one that looks like silver vines on her finger?

Oh that’s just a simple silver coiled/spiral ring! I did intend for it to be vine like to match her outer earrings, however it was a bit too detailed and distracting, so simple spiral it ended up! Even if it would restrict her finger position to constantly be straight 💀

i read your most recent post and had an idea! maybe if you want you can make dedicated character videos for more intricate aspects of your eah story? i think your a good storyteller and would love for you to get the chance to flex your skills!

That sounds like a pretty good idea! I did consider doing something similar to that as like bonus videos to put on patreon (which I still really need to set up 😭) and then eventually releasing them on the channel, but maybe just some more slower talky lore vids could be fun breaks inbetween videos since I take so long making stuff

Hi! I watched your Winx Club redesign video and they all look fantastic! Thank you again for bringing up the weird trend of the hyper masculinity in black female characters! My question is: You mentioned you wasn't too crazy about your design for Musa, if you don't mind me asking, have you thought of maybe adding her little cd player to her hip like she has in her her charmix form? Maybe in the re-write it could explained as something that keeps her magic flowing or something to help her concentrate

Tbh I did have a plan for charmix in my redesign series and actually slightly redesign those forms too, although to a much more simpler degree. I was going to start the exchantix video basically speed running charmix so we can get to the next form I want to redesign, and the plan would be just drawing over the new winx forms and adding in some extra elements like their broach, bags, and a new extra clothing piece!

So in Musa's case she gets the melody broach and the bag, but I also planned on giving her possibly a hood and maybe slightly longer rougher hair, to feel a little more rave inspired to keep the theme inline with a dance theme. I think once adding those I'll like the design more as to me it feels "under"designed right now, but for now it's just a 6/10 to me when I want it to be a 9/10

I do love your idea about the music helping her to focus on magic more though! One thing I wish I brought up and elaborated more on was Musa having slight auditory problems, using music additionally as a way to block out loud noises and while she's a good listener, she's maybe "too" good at it and sometimes noises can be a lot to deal with! Again, something I thought about and planned and then forgot to add and by then I was too deep into editing to try and fit it in so I guess it'll get brought up later down the line!
