Vote for the Stripey vs Spliced !!

Ohohoh the mysterious entree now is it? Well when you have senses as good as Beast's I suppose you're not too worried about it being poisonous or something

Stripey is @veryagileglasofwater's

--

I dunno what to put here Stripey just seems very silly to me in comparison to Spliced's usual nonchalance

Vote for Spliced vs Emerald Woods here!!

For someone who's called "Beast" she is rather chatty in her chapter isn't she. It just feels like they'd point out the obvious differences between them and debate its usefulness in the hunt lmao

The Emerald Woods is owned by @sorry-not-feeling-it-right-now and Hunted is mod Sapphic's (@sapphic-slaylist)

A Mouse's Trap

Warning for blood, gore, and injury Read left to right

Who's the mouse in this situation? I'll let you decide.

Plot/Lore Ramble: So for a basic plot summary, Opportunist is celebrating a job well done as their plan went off without a hitch. He goes to share this merriment with his partner, Hunted. Hunted doesn't seem to be as excited and actually slices off Oppy's arm that, suspiciously, was gripping the pristine blade. Hunted laments how he just wanted to make Oppy feel safe and went along with his plan thinking it would be something harmless, like Contrarian's little pranks. In usual Opportunist fashion, Oppy was using this as a chance to kill everyone else. Despite this and all of the pain Oppy caused, Hunted can't bring himself to kill Oppy in retaliation. Hunted is naturally a pack animal; the flock sticks together. Hunted then leaves Oppy alone taking the blade with them.

The brief glimpses of a large creature (the hands grabbing Cheated and the maw about to chomp on Cold on page 2, or the eyes in page 3) is instinct Quiet. It's not actually Quiet the protag, it's more a manifestation made from TLQ threads. Its influence affects Hunted the more he uses it, such as his eyes becoming more like instinct Quiet's. I'll be making more doodles to show Hunted's progression :]

Anyways, the plan was to use instinct Quiet to kidnap everyone into a secluded location. It would functionally serve to disempower everyone and show Oppy that there's nothing to worry about, no one voice is more dangerous than the others. He's safe here and with them all. Once everyone was capture they could, I dunno, have a good laugh about it or something. If this sounds like it defeats the whole point by having a voice use a trump card against everyone else it is. Everyone is then disorientated once they arrive to "the location" which Oppy uses to stab them. Except for Skeptic, he stumbles upon it once voices go missing

There's a bunch of other little things I could ramble about but I'll save that for later posts. Thanks for making it down here and make sure to watch your back :]

Welcome to your Happily Ever After Skeptic! Enjoy your stay :]

Was just thinking about Para being so sick of Hea he just straight up leaves and has Skeptic deal with it instead

For that extra bit of dialog: Oppy: "Oh. The antsy guy is gone." Hero: "Please get off of him"

The Fluff (ft. the Long)

Read left to right

Okay, who left two Colds unsupervised?

Well, at least they got their crown back. Might want to clean it off first...we're talking about Cold he's not getting those off unless someone does it for him

(YOU DREW MY SON SO WELL I'M STILL NOT OVER IT. I AM NOT. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I WILL FRAME THAT PICTURE, MARK MY WORDS. Ahem. Anyways, a more serious doodle of your own son under cut :]

I'm sure you are well aware of my struggle with this one. Even in the comic some of his depictions weren't...the best in my opinion. But I tried and he was still a joy to draw. Now I just need to get a hold of your hero...

Thanks for ask(s) and I hope you enjoyed!

A Host of Problems (You Made Them)

Based on @hello-universe-lovers Trapped Mice writing they made !!

Set at least a day or so after Mouse's Trap. Opportunist just can't seem to find any sort of peace after...the incident. He's still not sure how to process it, so to speak.

Extra

Spooking Opportunist was funny Host, but you didn't think about getting down did you. Thankfully lingering instincts was there to help

And a massive thank you to Mai for writing something for Mouse's Trap!! Stupid rat son being stupid <333

Drops him at your feet ::3

...Hey does anyone know where Broken went? No? Ah, well. I'm sure he's in good hands.

Thankfully Smittens are very good hosts, the only downside to them is that you might get stuck in a hug.

((Thank you for the art of my sad squishy son! Sorry it took me a while to get around to your ask. As per tradition, below cut is a warm up doodle of your smitten

I do really like all of your designs so far and Smitten is no exception! I especially like the flat heart design on the end of his tail or how the scaling pattern on his arms has a heart. It's all the little things you know?

Oh also getting to do Smitten's dialog boxes as the little windows was so fun! I thought it'd be difficult but it wasn't too bad actually.

Thank you again for stopping by!
