I know this is out of the blue but is there any hints or ideas we are allowed to hear of or look in on regarding Stagrove 👀👀 Perhaps updated outfits or some in-depth discussions of their relationships together as a cohesive group? You don't have to do this at all! I am just asking :) I love your work and I love hearing all your ideas and thoughts!!! Please take care of yourself.
normally i’d play coy and say ohhhh you’ll get it when you get it ofc 🤭 but ive been kinda mia from tumblr + stagrove so actually maybe its better to say whats going on 🥹
im working on refining their uniforms and actually having proper sprites for them done! evening out their personalities and straightening out their lore too 🤪 (ridge of willows + woodsmouth r now the two ‘homelands’ respective to stagrove but like… theyre literally 10 minutes away from each other. its just small town locales) (also by evening out their personalities, i just mean looking closer at them n maturing them a bit -> also figuring out what they stand 4 in the narrative and between each other.)
i might make a fresh render of their dorm logo too just to have on hand but that’ll come when it comes 💀
between the boys’ dynamics (esp for the episode) i think i wanted to weigh in more on the concept of how they all parallel against chase’s narrative and character?
ronaldo -> independence, standing alone but not apart. i think their bgs as students are rly similar? i like to think chase used to be in the same stagrove unit-type as him + they carry themselves with the same lone wolf demeanor. i think the primary difference tho is that ronaldo doubles down on where and who he is vs chase who leaves it out of people’s hands and lets himself be misunderstood.
flint -> the need to take action and change? something with ambition and duty to benefit the greater good. flint is one of his closest friends and i dont think hes ever judged chase for doing what he has, but i think it’s worth mentioning that flint does not follow chase. he works with chase. you’d think he enables chase, but the reality is that he’s one of the biggest restrictions on him because of how much he pushes back against chase.
berk -> the urge to protect and adapt, camaraderie and loyalty to preserve what is yours. berkeley is the enabler. not the most intentional, but the leniency is there anyway. i think berkeley is more open to this idea of change and adapting to it in the present, whereas chase prefers it in the future. berkeley lives in the moment and protects what he has, but i think chase lives in rhetoric. he protects what he will have, and what he had.
cordell -> the future… or a pseudo-reflection? tbh i just rly wanted to emphasize that cordell is The Next Generation of stagrove even if he doesn’t immediately suit the image. what if stagrove wasn’t founded on a basis of have-nots and callousness. what if you always had something worth protecting instead of looking off into the distant reckoning to evaluate whether or not this was enough. he’s the stagrove founded on love and intention and effort and- 🥹 he just, is everything that chase thought he was working towards.
some doodle noodles
i drew a bunch and these are some of them ! :D (the others will be uploaded in separate posts)
first pic is simply more stagrove roza! feat. steel-cold flint who found little miss i-don’t-wanna-do-my-chores roza and the other, sweet puppy berkeley !! at the bottom there’s also a drawing of roza’s bunny form… fluffy bby. ( @prometheanglory )
second pic are mafia au related doodles ! we have lady viola ( @gtfolingling ) and barmaid betty ! ( @orangettie ) as well as roza trying desperately to befriend noelle ( @3rdgymbros )
This is random but what kind of daemon you think your twst oc ?
i haven’t actually heard of ‘his dark materials’ yet so this was a bit of a learning experience digging thru the book’s wikipedia BUT !!! the premise sounded fun so i couldn’t resist the temptation 😎
berkeley: some sort of… mutt? — a little on the nose for berkeley, but i think it’s very fitting of berk to not be of notable pedigree even with a daemon. what could suit him better than a scruffy-looking pooch! simple requires simple, and his daemon matches him in protectiveness, loyalty, but overall chummy nature! a little clumsy and headstrong, and prone to aggression but it’s all mostly in good faith. neither of them are particularly ambitious people, however they stand strong for what they believe in, even if it isn't that grand.
cordell: domestic pigeon — i’m thinking specifically of homing pigeons, but overall! i’ve chosen pigeons for their very tame and gentle personality! i’ve always had a fondness for associating cordell with wood pigeons just because of their similar muted colors and softer… aesthetics? i’m not calling him a dove because that’s got its own connotations and i like pigeon connotations better. a little airheaded but very cool and calm otherwise! a bird that can adapt to most situations and return home no matter where they may end up — i think it captures cordell’s very open but nonetheless serene outlook on things!
chase: moose — big, intimidating, and would mostly prefer to be left alone. while neither of them are inherently aggressive, they’re both stuck in their ways and don’t like to be forced to change or follow unwelcome leads. things can become quite nasty with them if their boundaries are taken too lightly. while undoubtedly a pillar of silent pride and strength, their ultimate folly is being overly suspicious and wary of others, and too keen on doing everything by themselves. they should learn to concede ground when there is nothing left to stand for.
eddie: opossum — a scrappy and admittedly strange little marsupial that skitters through a variety of situations without much concern for where it is or what exactly it's doing… however it certainly suits eddie! they’re both not incredibly aggressive however when they land in situations they don’t like (which are few and far between), they tend to lash out more than they would like to. all they really wanna do is stay in their lane.
edgar: raven — creepily intelligent and accompanied by the unease of the macabre, i think the bird suits him quite nicely! his crafty nature accompanied by his strangely outspoken demeanor (and his very… scavenger-y personality), the only other possible option would be a crow however… ravens just fit any gloomy writers named edgar more 🥴 he's an adaptable guy with a high tolerance for everything, but more over anything else is his keen memory that maybe makes him a little... a little too sentimental.
flint: goat — admittedly a bit plain, but nothing would suit the pristine flint better than the gruff goat. they embody a straightforward existence that cuts no corners and seldom lets anybody else take shortcuts either. while not refined or born into high graces, their adaptable nature allows them to always push for a sense of order and control no matter where they may find themselves. some may view them as a bully, and maybe it's not far from the truth, but you gotta at least respect the integrity and audacity.
guts: black bear — it is certainly more skittish than its bigger counterparts… but don’t let that trick you into thinking its a poor excuse of a bear. solitary, nonchalant, and flexible with wherever the flow goes! he has no interest in picking fights or getting too riled up, but as cowardly as both guts (and the black bears) may seem, he clings to his own sense of privacy and doesn’t like to let other people interfere with them. they're more tenderhearted and emotional than their appearances or demeanors would outwardly suggest, but they'd prefer to keep it that way.
holly: domestic cat — you know how people say that you shouldn’t let cats out because they're apex predators? yeah. like that. a sweetly fickle woman who’s limber and languid atmosphere hides a dangerously clever demeanor that’s only really held back by her own laziness and vague disinterest. her daemon… politely chatty but there’s always a distinct sense of slyness to it. ambitious isn't the immediate word you'd associate with her, however it really just begs the question of why it feels like she always seems to have some sort of goal in mind that's juuuust out of reach.
lola: scarlet macaw — loud, social, bold, and free! playful but never underhanded! i don’t think anything else could really suit lola outside of such a brilliant bird (aside from… u know. a spotted hyena. but shh.). a macaw encompasses the mildly cumbersome and clumsy aspect to lola, however it doesn't detract from her undoubtedly clever and quick-thinking demeanor! they live life with no restraints and no bars holding them back, always looking for the most exuberant of situations (but sometimes, at the expense of others).
marian: oriental magpie — a sign of good fortune and a creature of concerning intelligence…! a bird that can remember a face and come back with a vengeance is definitely something that suits marian’s petty temper. it'd be dangerous if either he or the bird had any real ambitions, but it's their equally fickle and plucky personalities keeping us safe. other than that, they're incredibly chatty and at times, dangerously territorial but for the most part, they're pretty much harmless aside from a bout of aggressive bravado.
musu: ferret — slippery, crafty, loose, and free! what could be a better match for musu! sure, there’s more threatening options out there that would probably be cooler, but none of them particularly capture musu’s playful scrappiness in the same way that those little bandits do. not much of a true threat, never been much of a strong presence, but he’s more of a nuisance than anything else.
nik: rabbit — skittish, high energy, and a little more destructive than you immediately expect…. but ultimately very flexible in their lives! both don’t like to be cornered and are quite prone to turning tail when disaster rears its head. once you finally gain their fickle trust though, you’ll find that they’re pretty playful and curious at the core!
penn: mouse — quiet and reclusive, but adaptable and stubborn (of a very subtle sort). he and his daemon are both surprisingly hard to get under wraps and to fully control, despite their initial ‘cowardly’ impressions. there’s a certain air of craftiness that surrounds them both, just of a lesser intentionally malicious degree.
ronaldo: swan — beautiful and gentle connotations aside, it’s critical to recognize the swan is embody ronaldo’s incredibly aggressive, bossy, and prideful nature. while it’s possible to misinterpret their hostility as simple bravado, it discredits the very righteous, frank, and driven nature that is ronaldo at the core. never a pushover, always outspoken, but never a reckless idiot. they have dignity, you know (and sometimes dignity is all they have).
sarge: ewe — sacrificial lamb of god aka the big J-Man. i’m mainly joking 😊 but not entirely because an animal as domesticated and soft as a sheep can only be sarge. it’s incredibly social, prefers to follow others’ lead, and moves along the tide of life without any complaints. also the sheer amount of cultures with some sort of status elevating of an animal like a sheep tickles my brain :-) they're not very ambitious or driven, but they like for things to stay as calm as possible.
ulysses: koala — stupid, cute, and horribly mean, but ultimately stupid at the end of the day. that’s the main reasoning here. too stubborn to really change their ways, but at the same time, it’s not like either of them really know any other way to live other than the way they always have lived. they’re content as is to keep up their old patterns, and will likely maul someone if poked too much. they
vinh: crane — honestly i was stuck between a deer, owl, and crane but i feel that the crane honestly suits her best (tsuru no ongaeshi/tsuru nyoubou/ isycus’ crane/hephaestus purposes)🤪 graceful and serene, gentle yet wary… the embodiment of deference, complete with the dedication, devotion, and dutiful demeanor that knows no bounds. however, despite their nose for justice + responsibility, they are still spineless and fragile individuals with little no sense for self-preservation. nonetheless, they champion obligation above all else (very much at their own expense).
xuehai: rooster — ferocious and ever-proud, and synonymous with being a dick if you use the right word… while a peacock was also an option, i think the way that roosters are both decorative and aggressive is very xuehai :-) loud, competitive, and more headstrong than most people prefer to deal with — you’ll definitely know who tends to run the show if u run into either of them. even then, it's not like their aggression is ever fully unwarranted. they're very wary and protective people who prefer to have as much power as they can in a situation.
welcome to the vy doodle dump of very old doodles and shart that i never uploaded
dystopian cyber au bc i was thinking abt psychopass and ghost in the shell ft. former high-class ai turned scrappy android vinh and scrappy mechanic to unintentional wanted criminal berkeley
mafia au vinh technically, but it could also be that one lounge singer movie au thing
mafia au vinh technically, but it could also be that one lounge singer movie au thing
modern au where vinh’s masters degree went nowhere bc she decided to stay close to home and instead works as a tattoo artist now
ignihyde dynamics in which idia must stroke his mad genius ego
mafia au with flint/roza (@/briarrosescurse)❤️ in which we can see flint(*) post-kaboom and rozalina currently at an empty-casket funeral ❤️
dream i had about xiangvinh where xiang managed to get brainwashed by a government program thing working with secret services and ends up trying to kill vinh but anyway he snaps out of it near the end and also vinh turned him into the police bc she wasnt sure abt what to do but xiang thinks that was the right thing to do (but they dont ‘fully’ arrest him bc they were also in on the program.)
If some of your OCs were possessed by ghosts in the new event, what would they be like? ?
ooc….. possession indulgence…..
running off of the ocs that i drew for 2020 Halloween event lel (and bonus eddie)
berkeley houndstooth
you know that specific brand of egregiously rich, snooty, haughty noble... the bitch... the elite... the apex of wealth and egoism. yeah. that's him. if only he had the funds to back it up.
chase manchester
he's definitely chatty. very loud, boisterous, and… uh. robust. you're not gonna be able to hear your thoughts over him at all. like, you know how cartoon heroes tend to laugh heroically and (manly voice) 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐲 every like 5 minutes. yeah. that's him.
cordell snare
hot-tempered and spiteful little guy. think of the generic little devil personality. he's got a number of tricks and entirely out-of-pocket things to inflict on you to ruin your evening.
eddie hyne
stoic and unfriendly? as much as eddie already doesn't speak, you're getting a different type of cold shoulder from possessed eddie. he wants absolutely nothing to do with anyone.
flint remington
arrogant… arrogant slacker. regular flint is confident and capable, sure — but this is kinda like… obnoxiously overbearing. those annoying do-s otome dude types. eugh.
marian blede
he's very lethargic. there's nothing firing up there in his head. he's very droll and droopy and floppy and boring. very lame. even if you make fun of him he doesn't really care enough to do anything about it.
ronaldo buckman
super flamboyant, loud, chatty, giddy, and definitely lively. think about a bird of paradise and you basically got it. he's not particularly harsh like this, possessed ronnie seems to be having fun.
sarge glase
where the usual sarge is pretty flowery and languid, this is basically the epitome of a cement block. he has absolutely no charm, no humor. he's like a token straight man.
ulysses finn
well-spoken and charismatic. that’s the first time i’ve had something positive to say about ulysses’ attitude. just think of the most princely and noble person you can.
vinh torch
from personality of a boiled carrot to the ever-expressive and excitable shoujo protagonist... sugar and spice all in one combo with a spoonful of the usual protagonist naivety and ditziness.
qian xuehai
he's shy. like think of the stereotypical bashful anime girl who's stuttering over every word and can't go 5 seconds without going red at the ears. yeah. like that.
