Introduce your Simpsons OC to us with 1 word, 1 sentence, 1 song, and 1 picture (not necessarily of her, any pic that feels like it fits) :]

Hello!! This is my Simpsons OC, Cherub Berg :] See her intro post here! Or see her with her friends!

1 word: Hmmm... Devoted :]

1 sentence: Ned Flanders' fiancée, Cherub is a woman whose deep affections and loyalties are one in the same - despite the all the haunting doubts...

1 song: I have many songs in mind when it comes to Cherub ! But maybe one of the ones I associate with her most is Catabolic Seed by The Scary Jokes .. Don't worry about the implications ! ^^

1 picture: I don't really have any images in mind for her, I'm not really the moodboard kind of person - but thank you for learning more about Cherub !

Ask and you shall receive... an ask! Ok jokes aside, how did Cherub and Ned meet? :3c Was it love at first sight, or did they need some time to get closer?

cherub and ned met in church !! that's her first episode!! cherub is very much designed to be a modern character, made to be dropped into the show in the now

as such, she is new to springfield and to the church. ned, the friendly neighborino he is, notices the stranger sitting by her lonesome at the tail end of mass and - hey the holy rollers are about to go get their practice in, would you like to come along and bowl?

as cherub - who is a bit of a bowling rookie and blames her left-handedness - continues to be invited to these practice bowls, they grow closer as ned, the experienced southpaw, shows her the ropes. cherub definitely falls for him first, rather quickly perhaps. he's everything she's dreamed of, her golden ticket in. she was utterly smitten, and still arguably is now!

her intro episode is that sort of "introduce new (female) character as a love interest" episode they like to do. except cherub does come back. and maybe after a couple background cameos or another episode, ned will mention they're engaged :] then they will stay engaged

[bluebeerg]

alright it's time to meet her for real

Cherub Bim Berg is in line to be Ned Flanders' third wife, having gotten engaged, and she is smitten. Though, with an unclear wedding date and a constant promise that it'll come "soon", she's in deep denial about that title never coming.

I made her with friends, who also have their OCs :] Though they form a sort of "housewife" group, she's the only real housewife (housefiancè ?) out of the four of them

btw, though cherub is kind-of-not-really a self insert (simpsona?) and is a woman, op is not ^^ ty 🏳️‍⚧️

i am also requesting Cherub Post because i am evil

heh. well. cherub post is here and real, finally .. but i will draw more cherubs just for you ^^

perhaps a good baseline for cherub's opinion on a character outside the flanders family is that she'll generally dislike characters on ned's good side - someone has to be a hater for him, after all - and vice versa.

lovejoy, for instance - with the way ned talks about him, she would have expected springfield's pastor to be quite the man. instead she found herself rather disappointed by the lack-luster services - half of the church is falling asleep for crying out loud! though she sees through her fiancé's praise and thinks lovejoy unworthy of them, god forbid she ever lets her neddy onto her disdain
