My gift ? Peachyville Good Ending / Everyone Lives AU Designs !
This was bound to happen after that finale lmao
I plan on doing more drawings with these designs !! so many dynamics I want to explore aaah
small edit: i made a hashtag for this au! it's "peachy end au"... hopefully this makes it easier to find in my blog :D
Like my art? Consider buying me a coffee (kofi) !
Like these drawings? Get a similar one for yourself (commissions) !
A (very long) deep dive into the AU after the cut:
For this deep dive, I'll be dividing it into sections: General (setting and such) and Each Character (what's going on with them?). For the Character Section I'll go in alphabetical order because I love organizing stuff like that, jaja
General
This AU takes place in the Fall / Autumn, hence the clothes. It would be a few months after the events of Peachyville (In my head, the season takes place in the Spring around late April / early May, so this AU would be around September-November) when everyone has gotten situated into a close-to-normal routine (I'll expand more on that once I go from character to character).
In this AU, I'm also borrowing Will's plan of what would've happened if they won, which is that nobody but the Guttural Scream and CO (except Tyrus) remember all the eldritchy stuff that happened. However, this AU takes place BEFORE the Mothpeople come to ask them if they want to go with them (in my head that happens in the Winter, around February... also in the canonical finale that's the timeline in my head)
Oh, and the "Everyone Lives" title only applies to Guttural Scream and CO, all the antagonists that died during the season are also dead in this AU since it's a hypothetical of "the whole podcast is the same, but they save the world without sacrificing anyone they love".
Okay, that's about it. Time for the characters !
Britannica "BB" Blue
Our favorite kid detective! Just like in canon, BB and Milton have created a small detective agency of their own, although they do look into cosmic happenings and especially why nobody seems to remember what happened, they also dabble in everyday mysteries and even get a bit of money from it! Apart from Milton, BB has gotten closer to Blake and involves him in any mysteries that require some handiness to solve. It took time for her to approach the other members of Guttural Scream again after learning... everything they did, but bowling truly brings people together, and she is more open to them, just not as much as before.
Milton is her best friend, they're always together wherever they go. If you need one, just ask for the other; they're a package.
Blake Lively & Marbles
Blake, canonical horse boy and his son Marbles. Who knew dodging a 4-tentacle attack was so easy? Especially when you have a sort of magical cat hiding in your shirt who loves you so much it used it's whimsical powers to save you.
Blake lived with BB and her parents while he got a house of his own with the insurance money obtained from his burnt up mansions. This caused Blake and BB to grow closer, to the point that BB managed to convince Blake to buy a house in the same street as everyone so they could all be close together. Blake now is newly moved-in to his own home after requesting some renovations and making sure said renovations were top notch quality (yes, he added 2 more bathrooms and a toilet in every bedroom, which are two). His house is bigger than the other houses on the street, but not as big as his mansion. He even reserved a room just for Marbles, but he counts the litter box as the toilet so there isn't a toilet there.
Despite Tony being alive and well, he still bowls with the Gutteral Scream and is an honorary member who competes whenever one of the other members is out for the count. Like mentioned beforehand, he also helps out BB and Milton on mysteries where his handiness is needed and has even grown fond of the two. He is still a plumber, of course, and nowadays gets more customers than before thanks to Kelsey suggesting he should put up flyers in public spaces like the Library and parks. Overall, he's living a pretty comfortable life and always takes a moment every morning to talk to Amberster through a small memorial he has in his home with two golden guns lovingly in display.
Francis Farnsworth
The poor boy Francis. While escaping from Mother by convincing her to consume his dad instead, Francis lost the robotic leg John, Kelsey's brother, made for him, so now he mostly moves around with the help of a crutch. With seemingly nowhere to go, Francis planned on living on his own in his desolate home, but Trudy offered him to stay with her and Timmy. Francis refused, however, because he felt her and Timmy needed time alone and didn't think Timmy would enjoy his company (he didn't say any of this to Trudy, though). As a result, Kelsey approached Francis and invited him to live with her, and Francis accepted. Although the space was small, Kelsey managed to move things around to make space for a bed for Francis, who insisted on living in the backhouse instead of the main one like Roz, Kelsey's sister, had suggested.
Francis did tell Shane about the leg incident and his father's death, but left out that it was Kelsey's doing. Shane promised vengeance, yet Kelsey managed to talk him out of it.
Francis still goes bowling with the Gutteral Screams, but whenever there's a competition, he gives his spot to Blake... or he tries to, but Blake always insists that he bowl instead. He had to get acostumed to bowling with only one leg, but by now he has a bit of a method and Blake is his biggest support (figuratively and literally). Francis still feels a lot of guilt, from missing his parents despite knowing they were bad people to hurting his friends emotionally in different ways, but he is starting to learn to forgive himself and, most importantly, to live and enjoy the little things in life, one step at a time.
Kelsey Grammar
Kelsey, a schoolmarm then and a schoolmarm now. After they saved the world and Brian's death, Kelsey wished she could've taken over the Library, but her teacher duties deterred her and now the Library is run by someone else, but Kelsey definitely trusts them more than Brian.
Kelsey has felt infinetly less lonely ever since Francis moved in with her, and is very happy to have him around. She has even managed to convince him to start reading as a hobby and have their own two-person book club. Kelsey has also continued with her encyclopedia, and is up to M thanks to her friends helping her out with defining some words that they had knowledge of. She still bowls with the Gutteral Scream, of course, and even visits Trudy and Timmy on the weekends, where she always stays for dinner at Trudy's insistence.
Kelsey still wears the bracelet John left for her. They still have the same charms as before, and despite it not really having much use to her now and how hurt she was by her brother not checking up on her when he had infinite time, she still deeply love and cares for her brother and refuses to let go of the bracelet. She never told Roz about John, especially after finding out Roz was one of the many people who forgot about all the eldritch things that ocurred, and Kelsey truly believes it's for the best.
She's also kind of sort of maybe realizing her feelings for Trudy are more than just platonic, but she tries not to dwell on it too much... unsuccesfully.
Milton Earl
Dear Milton... like mentioned in BB's section, he and BB have a small detective agency where they solve everyday mysteries and try to uncover the secret of why nobody but Guttural Scream and CO remember all the eldritch events. Milton, like BB, has grown close to Blake with him tagging along in the mysteries where his services are needed. His favorite thing about Blake is Marbles, petting him is calming for Milton. Unlike BB, Milton wasn't too deterred from the other Guttural Scream thanks to him still having a lot of love for Kelsey, who in turn is more open with him. For the same reason, Milton is also much friendlier with Francis, even inviting him to a few mysteries, but Francis always refuses to tag along.
He is still blind, of course, but he is very close to being able to read Braille fluently. Although his parents have bought him a white cane, he frequently forgets it at home because BB always comes to pick him up and guides him.
Timmy Trout
Timmy is complex. Although he is much closer to Trudy, and they've both grown comfortable as a family, pieces of his dad still live within him. In fact, Timmy knows a lot about robotics and mechanics thanks to his dad who taught him since very young, and Timmy hates to admit he enjoys it. Although, he does find more passion in literature and philosophy which his dad did not care for so he spends more time on that.
Thanks to Kelsey, Timmy actually goes to school now, but he is struggling to keep up with his peers in a couple of subjects, so Kelsey tutors him on the weekends. On the other hand, Timmy still doesn't like Francis very much, hence Francis' living situation, but is starting to be neutral about him because Kelsey brings Francis to the tutoring sessions and Trudy is more than happy to welcome him to their home.
Tony Collette
The one and only Tony Collette. Here's the gist (and buckle up, this is a long one), when The Bisons tried to sacrifice him to Mother, Tony got miraculously lucky and managed to make it to the elevator and get out. However, he passed out the moment he got in from exhaustion and pain which let Dr. Mann, who got in the elevator as well, to presume he was dead. And so, Dr. Mann took Tony's body and just left it in the woods outside the lab. When Tony awoke, he genuinely had no idea how he would get home or even find his friends, especially with his broken legs which are even more damaged from Dr. Mann carelessly flinging him into the ground. So, all he could do was crawl until he found a road he could follow. When he got tired of crawling, he decided to try walking, what could go wrong? Well... his luck had pretty much run out at that point, so his legs gave out instantly, and he got pretty hurt again. Thankfully, he was close to town by this point and someone heard him scream and ran over to check on him. Tony could not handle the pain and passed out again before he could see who came to him. When Tony woke up, he was now in a bed, his legs bandaged up and propped up with two pillows. He didn't recognize the room he was in, but he knew he'd have to owe his life, almost literally, to whoever it belonged to. The door to the room opened and in came Tyrus, Tony's neighbor. Tony was shocked, but so grateful, he started crying like he did back at the hospital when Kelsey came to check on him and started apologizing pitiful-Tony style for being so rude in the past. Tyrus was very overwhelmed and confused by this new Tony, but accepted the apology nonetheless. After this, Tony spent days in bed letting his legs recover while Tyrus took care of him to the best of his abilities, and neither would say it, but they both had a feeling Tony might not be able to walk again.
On the day Tyrus almost got kidnapped, he ran back home and started packing his two suitcases, one for himself and one for Tony. When Tony saw him packing, he asked what was going on and Tyrus explained everything, even how Kelsey and the others told him to get out of town for a week for his own safety. Tony was happy to hear his bowling team seemed to be okay, but was upset about Tyrus leaving, since he thought Tyrus would leave by himself. It wasn't until Tyrus came back to his room after putting their suitcases in his car to help Tony move to it, did Tony realize ditching town also counted for him.
While out of town, Tyrus got Tony into a hospital, reassuring Tony that since they were out of Peachyville, there was less danger of The Bisons finding them. From there, Tony got his very own wheelchair and managed to properly heal his legs. Although he can walk, it takes a lot of effort and pain to do so, which leads to his wheelchair being his main mode of transportation. Due to this, it takes a lot longer for both Tony and Tyrus to return to Peachyville, and although one night Tyrus suddenly didn't recall anything about eldritch beings, he and Tony inevitably bonded to the point where Tyrus invited Tony to stay at his house and even help around the Chinese restaurant if he wished.
Once they were back in Peachyville, Tony reunited with his bowling team, who were surprised to see him alive and well, but happy nonetheless. Now, Tony and the bowling team meet up once a week to bowl and Tony has started getting used to bowling in his wheelchair and isn't throwing as many gutter balls (which is also an improvement from before he got in a wheelchair). Tony also took up Tyrus' offer to stay in his house and help out in the restaurant, essentially leaving behind his rental car business, selling the lot to someone else who took up the business in his place. In the restaurant, Tony mainly manages the cash register and is unafraid to cuss out rude customers.
Trudy Trout
My favorite, Trudy. Those 30 seconds it took for the knife to pierce the hole in the sky were agonizing, but the moment she realized it worked, she couldn't help but burst into tears. The next day, Trudy travelled close to where the hole had formed with the help of the rest of the Guttural Scream and cast the Elder Sign spell to hopefully stop anymore eldritch entities from entering their world. Whether it worked or not is unknown to them.
It took a while, but eventually Trudy managed to buy a new house for her and Timmy to live in, with two guest rooms in case any of her friends needed a place to stay. During the time they were house-hunting, they stayed with Roz in her basement and Trudy grew to like Milton. Trudy also agreed to enroll Timmy to school, and even started participating in helping with the school plays at Kelsey's suggestion and support. Even though she wishes Francis had agreed to live with her, she also understands why he denied doing so and is happy she can feed him and Kelsey on the weekends.
She still bowls, of course, but her new spidery body was causing her a lot of trouble and not helping her fit in with the population that forgot about all the eldritch happenings. Timmy noticed this and proposed making Trudy a new body, one she could have complete control over it's functionality and appearance. Trudy happily agreed and even shed a tear at the thought of Timmy making something for her. Timmy started working on her new body while they lived in Roz's basement and finished it just in time for it to count as a gift celebrating 2 months since they moved in to their new home. Once Trudy's head was attached to her new body and tested it out feeling more like herself than she ever had, Timmy revealed he didn't work on it alone. Both Kelsey and Blake had helped him with more complex parts and getting materials so Timmy could focus on the more code-related aspects. That weekend, Trudy showed off her new body to Kelsey and Francis and thanked Kelsey with a specially made homecooked apple pie. That same weekend, Kelsey cut and styled Trudy's hair to get rid of all the burnt bits and help her start anew. The next bowling meetup, Trudy thanked Blake by inviting him to their new home to check out their toilets and plumbing to his liking.
Trudy still struggles with insecurity on being a good mother for Timmy, but the fact they can both sit alone on the dining table and talk casually and comfortably makes her feel more at ease.
Although, with this now peaceful life with no Tucker looming over her head and Mothman's death properly mourned over, Trudy is starting to realize that she would love it if Kelsey ate dinner at their home everyday, and maybe even breakfast and lunch too... what could that mean?
Tyrus Luo
Who is Tyrus, and why is he here? Funny story, he is a very late addition to the AU and is only here because while showering I had an idea and thought it was really funny (which you know now since Tony's section was before this one). As a refresher, Tyrus is Tony's Taiwanese neighbor and owner of the Chinese restaurant adjacent to Tony's car rental lot. We meet him in the first episode and after the Library arc when the Guttural Scream save him from being kidnapped by The Bisons and, in turn, he gives them food and the lock they use on Brunhilde.
Now to the AU:
Tyrus has grown close to the Guttural Scream thanks to Tony (hard not to, considering he wasn't close to anyone beforehand), but he is one of many that don't remember any of the horrors that happened and believes that all events connected to that were either just a weird cult's actions or unfortunate, but logical, accidents. Tony tried for a week to "make him remember", but it didn't work. Because of this, BB and Milton have been prodding him a lot and Tyrus is always happy to help, albeit confused and thinking it's just kids playing pretend. Apart from that, his life is pretty much the same. His restaurant is still doing decently enough, and he has Tony for company, although now it's a more pleasant company since they don't "hate" each other anymore, but they do still fight from time to time over the littlest things just for the fun of it (even if neither of them would admit it).
Crazy to say, but as a headcanon for my AU (yes, I know how that sounds, but trust me) Tony and Tyrus have a will-they-won't-they situationship going on and everybody but them knows it.
Closing Thoughts
Sorry this is so long, and thank you if you read all of this !! (and sorry if anything I wrote seems out of character... I tried my best !)
Like I mentioned above, I plan on drawing this AU a lot more because I love these characters so much, I can't let them go jajajaj
Feel free to send me asks for any queries or talk to me on my other socials about this AU and even sharing your own headcanons! I'm still building this as much as I can... and, of course, feel free to draw, write, whatever stuff for this AU if you enjoyed it (and share it with me pleaseeee)
Okay, that's all... I've yapped for too long. Happy Holidays !!
haven't been able to stop thinking about this universe since it was revealed to us, so i finally caved and designed them (and made up some hcs and such)
Like my art? Consider buying me a coffee (kofi) !

Lore, Details, Notes, etc. under the cut !
Hi hello, so... in my head, the birth of Zhouzel happened around the time the boxing match does, and that's why it is successful ! Kelsey does win the boxing match and the trio make it into the lab, but Tony wasn't present, unable to escape the hospital.
To appease Mother and find another candidate as soon as possible, the Bisons decide to take siege of the town earlier than planned, while Kelsey, Trudy, and Francis have no clue, going through the trials and everything of the lab. They spot the painting of Zhouzel, and Kelsey, like in canon, accepts Zhouzel's offer.
The Bisons manage to capture a lot of people, including Tony, Tyrus, and Shane. Tony starts chaos by trying to escape, and both Tyrus and Shane help him out, but while Tyrus and Tony are successful, Shane is not, his recent injury slowing him down. Shane manages to defeat a few Bisons, but it isn't enough, and with that he meets the requirements for Zhouzel's vessel.
Kelsey, Trudy, and Francis learn of this chaos as they walk around the laboratory from Arlo, and they manage to reach Mother's room a bit after the Bisons do with Shane restrained in a wheelchair. At this pivotal moment when the trio needed to act now or never, Kelsey is suddenly spoken to by Zhouzel and commanded to betray the team and be by his side during his birth. Kelsey, compelled, accepts, and tricks Trudy and Francis by going through the door first and closing it behind her.
When Zhouzel is born, due to a younger body being used as a vessel, Zhouzel only kills his followers, the Bisons, as source of energy and a few other civilians, instead of all of Peachyville. Once he is fully born, he approaches Kelsey and promises her knowledge beyond her imagination and the High Priestess position of his rule, with the sole condition that she make the world revere him. Kelsey accepts.
Once the door opens, Trudy and Francis are hit with Kelsey's betrayal and managed to escape before any confrontation occurs. Outside the lab, they find Tony and Tyrus, and they share Kelsey's betrayal with Tony, who proposes turning their bowling team into a Rebellion team as a form of not just vengeance towards Kelsey, but also as a way to protect Peachyville. Trudy and Francis accept, and so, the differing teams are created and the Zhouzel Dimension/Universe is born.
Timeskip to months later, but before Zhouzel kills Kelsey...
Time to go a little more in-depth on all the characters: where they are within the designs I made and any details not visible in the lineup I posted above
(and in alphabetical order because I like doing things in alphabetical order)
Blake joined the Rebellion Team hours after it was formed. BB had informed the team that she knew someone who had a buffed up basement they could use as headquarters, and that’s how they met Blake, who accepted to help them thanks to his love of Peachyville.
Amberster was, unfortunately, one of the few civilian casualties of Zhouzel’s birth so Blake also appreciated having some company.
Marbles came into the picture a week later, while Blake and Trudy were out on a solo mission to find food. There, Blake spotted Marbles sleeping by an open sewage hole and gently went to pick him up. Almost as if he knew him, Marbles jumped into Blake’s arms and blinked his heterochromatic green-red eyes at him slowly. From then on, the two became inseparable.
Blake now mainly stays at the base, caring for BB, Milton and, if given permission, Timmy alongside Tyrus. However, he is more than happy to tag along on missions, and even insists on it whenever BB wants to tag along.
The moment BB knew her life wouldn’t be the same, was the moment she stumbled on the Anderson Ice Company. She managed to reach Milton, but she wasn’t quick enough and the Anderson’s caught her. Although, had it not been for Ma Anderson’s body being found lying lifeless on her chair as dry as a raisin, the Anderson brothers would have probably left her off the hook. And so, BB lost an eye, a move made in a blinded rage by the Anderson brothers.
This didn’t dissuade BB, as she took the opportunity to grab Milton and run out of the Anderson Ice Company when the Anderson brothers left to freeze her eye like they did Milton’s.
BB ran back to the boxing match location with Milton, where she managed to catch The Guttural Scream, minus Kelsey, as they were leaving to head to town.
BB is a dimmer version of herself now, not as bubbly as before, especially after learning about her favorite teacher’s betrayal. She still likes to be helpful by sneaking around and finding information on the High Priestess and her followers, but is mainly encouraged to stay at the base with Milton, Blake, Marbles, and Tyrus, which she obliges because she’s just a 12-year-old girl… what can she do?
Francis, after Kelsey’s betrayal and the death of his parents, found that the only solution was to grow up… and so he did. He disguised his fear and insecurity with confidence and maturity by taking the role of Mission Planner. Although the first mission left both he and Trudy harmed, though to his credit how could he have known the Store Clerk had a flamethrower just sitting around in his back office, all missions afterward felt like a breeze thanks to his meticulous planning.
As much as he wishes to deny it, he does tend to cling to Trudy a lot, seeing a mother-figure in her that he silently feels he lacks. Likewise, he hates himself for still caring for Kelsey, even after what she did, believing in a locked up space in his mind that maybe, someday, they could bring her back to her old self.
After being saved by BB from the Anderson Ice Company and meeting up with The Guttural Scream, Milton was already at a low point with the fact his eyesight is gone and the last thing he saw was how it was taken away. He also isn’t very happy about BB getting hurt while saving him, although BB refuses to tell him how it was that she got hurt, exactly. But, hearing the news about Kelsey’s betrayal? That broke him. The one person he sought safety from… is the same one that doomed them all? No wonder the notebook didn’t mention her name, she was the one responsible for the deaths of many.
With no other choice, Milton accepted BB’s offer to be a part of the Rebellion Team, although he never planned to do anything for them, and the team didn’t plan on giving him anything to do either, both out of disinterest and for his own good.
Milton is quiet, only holding conversations with BB and Blake, and on occasions Tyrus, and speaking only when necessary outside of that. Unlike the founding members, Milton has lost all hope of the Kelsey he knew coming back and is even relieved he lost his sight before he could see the person she became.
Deep Slumber Cause: Modified Dollmaker Venom - Tucker Trout
Closest to: Trudy
-
During the chaos at the lab, Timmy was home sleeping. Tucker heard the news of the failed boxing match and destroyed the Trudy head he was tinkering with to release his anger. An hour later, he got a call that they managed to collect possible candidates and Zhouzel’s birth was inevitable… Tucker, instead of heading to the lab, decided to enact a personal plan of his earlier than anticipated, but at least he had prepared for it in advance. He prepped the robotic body he made in the image of his son, Timmy, and the syringe with the modified Dollmaker venom, a tasked that took him 2 hours to get just right, and headed up the stairs to the boy’s room.
Timmy, deep in slumber, didn’t hear his bedroom door open, nor the sounds of his father’s footsteps as they cautiously approached his bed, but the prick of the needle to his neck was unmistakable. Timmy’s eyes opened almost on impact, but his father was stronger and holding him down as he finished injecting the modified venom into his body.
The first thing Trudy did, after forming the Rebellion Team, was go home and find her son. When she got there, she found him laying on top of the dry corpse of his father, sound asleep. No matter what she or the rest of the team did, Timmy would simply not wake up, and it wasn’t until Francis, who had decided to investigate the house alongside Tony and BB, found Tucker’s notes on his plan for Timmy, did they found out the cause of his slumber.
Now Timmy lays in a bed, in a private room in the Rebellion’s base, in comfortable pajamas and routine visits from Trudy and, occasionally, Blake or Tyrus protected until they can find a cure.
When the effects of the tranquilizer given to him by Dr. Mann in the hospital passed, Tony awoke sitting in a wheelchair surrounded by men in Bison masks. He wasn’t tied up, the Bisons believing he was too loopy to do anything, so he took the chance to sweep a look around the room, spotting Tyrus and Shane as two familiar faces tied up nearby. Suddenly, his face was grabbed by one of the Bisons and, with no warning, his eye was scratched out of its socket with a knife.
This sudden flash of pain fully woke Tony up, leading to him acting quickly despite his broken legs and starting his escape. He used his wheelchair to knock a few Bisons over and managed to get a hold of the knife that took his eye and used it to free both Tyrus and Shane. The three managed to make a path of escape between the Bisons, but Shane wasn’t quick enough with his missing leg and was caught. Tony and Tyrus, however, failed to notice, running on adrenaline with the goal of escaping the lab fogging any other thought.
After meeting up with Trudy and Francis, learning of Kelsey’s betrayal, and forming the Rebellion Team, Tony was able to recover from his broken legs thanks to being forced to rest by the team and his casts being just the right size.
Now he tags along on all the missions and tries to redeem his lack of service on WWII with his service to finding a way to save Peachyville from the reign of the High Priestess, a friend he has accepted is now lost, as much as it pains him to do so.
Timmy’s seemingly eternal slumber, compounded by Kelsey’s betrayal has left Trudy utterly sore. Most days she is tired beyond belief, and on the days when she feels like she can’t even bring herself to move, she sits with Timmy and never leaves his side, humming to him melodies or telling him about the latest mission.
In one such mission, the team felt brave enough to approach the cathedral that was built in the center of Peachyville where the High Priestess resides. The main goal was just to scout the location and learn more about how the High Priestess spread Zhouzelism. The mission was successful, aside from Blake’s eye getting close to pummeled by a Guard and Marbles attacking the High Priestess in retaliation, and in their leave, Trudy found a bracelet she remembered belonging to Kelsey. When she picked it up, she noticed the charms were different from before, something she knew thanks to Kelsey sharing with her the meaning of the charms that went on her bracelet back when they were just a bowling team. The charms now were an eye, a compass, a peach, a bison, a lock, an hourglass, and a skull. Trudy decided to keep the bracelet, both because of its sentimental value and to decipher what she believes to be a code from Kelsey.
Now Trudy is still trying to decipher the code, taking the time to do it and talk it over whenever she is in one of her down days sitting in Timmy’s room. She knows she shouldn’t, but Trudy still holds out hope that the Kelsey she once knew is still in there within the High Priestess, and the only way to stop Zhouzel is by bringing her back.
Tyrus was closing up his restaurant when the Bisons arrived in a white van and took him hostage. The ropes tied around his wrists and ankles were so tight, the rope burns refuse to fade. The whole thing is a blur, one moment he is in a moving van, the next he is in a room full of people, suddenly he can hear Tony scream and a commotion begins, then he is running out of that chaotic room pushing Tony’s wheelchair looking desperately for an exit.
It isn’t until they arrive at Blake’s basement does everything finally hit him.
For safety, he decides to stick with the Rebellion Team, and convinces them further by showing his medical skills by taking care of everyone’s wounds, starting with the kids. He also cooks for everyone, using the cookware and utensils available in Blake’s mansion and the ones recovered from his restaurant. Although he lost his apron, the team had found a long sash/scarf that he uses instead, although finding a way to tie it at first was a two-person tasked which was achieved with Trudy’s help.
Now Tyrus mainly stays at the base, taking care of Milton, BB and, occasionally with Trudy’s permission, Timmy alongside Blake. He is very grateful with Tony for saving him, so he always gives him an almost imperceptible biased treatment (emphasis on almost, he isn’t caught only because everyone else is so caught up in their own matters).
Zhouzel’s coercion was strong. Stronger than her own mind, her own morals, her own values. She felt no control of herself when she pushed her friends aside and locked those doors. Any other person would be left terrified at this, but Kelsey was not, could not, for witnessing the birth of Zhouzel drover her mad. What else could she do but accept Zhouzel’s offer of knowledge and power when all she could think about was the magnificence of this otherworldly deity?
Praising Zhouzel was easy, getting followers was not. The High Priestess found that the most effective way of converting people to Zhouzelism was with simply showing them the deity himself, although she mainly did it through paintings and descriptions for his visage was for her and Mother alone. Zhouzel did as promised, he gave the High Priestess knowledge beyond her imagination and in turn she loved him as a lover, a brother, a father, each and every way she could.
She only learned about the Rebellion the day they decided to show their faces to her, and imprint her with a scarred eye that she’d never forget. The High Priestess framed these traitors as criminals to all the Zhouzelism followers and encouraged their arrest in exchange for favor with Zhouzel.
Now, she continues to rule, and continues trying to convert the world into Zhouzelism. But the High Priestess cries in the solitary confines of her room as Kelsey returns in the dead of night, wishing for a way out, may it be by death or the guiding light of her old bowling team… maybe if she hadn’t lost her bracelet, she’d be able to return sooner rather than later.
The End... for this post, not this whole AU(?) thing
expect more doodles, but especially comics... i have some ideas brewing in my head, but i need to find the time to draw them... aaah I hate being busy
anyway, hope this was entertaining, interesting, or something of the like, and if not... sorry
okay bye it's 2 am weeee
(PS. I hope I explained clearly how I think Kelsey's mind works and why she is so pro Zhouzel in this dimension, but in case I didn't, I might make a comic where I try to explain it better or maybe an animatic idk, we'll see)
based the colors of the bowling uniform on the 50s Lithuanian flag to emphasize they're pretending to be the Lithuanian Bowling Team, but added a hint of the colors i represent them with bc it felt appropriate
also also, didn't go full terminator style with Trudy, more for my own sake than anything... still need to learn to draw proper robots lmao, but I found a rly cool concept online where the metal base of a cyborg was rly similar to human muscles and i loved it so that's how Trudy's metallic base is now (also lowkey justifying why she can pass as human with her movements and such idk man)
and lastly... Marbles is always under Blake's shirt... it's cozy in there
Like my art? Consider buying me a coffee (kofi) !
Like these sketches? Get one for yourself (commissions) !
Here's a compilation of more Peachyville designs I forgot to share (+ some thoughts about them)...
This is like... really long, so feel free to skip, and I'm so sorry I tend to write a lot when explaining stuff...
Here's an index of what you'll find:
Blake Lively + Marbles
Original Trudy
Trout Family (Tucker, Timmy, Lil Tuck, and Tiffany)
The Farnsworths (minus Francis)
the new member of The Guttural Scream !
so... tried to make Blake's signature color Orange, but the color got lost with his skin tone and hair, so I had to add another color to help balance that... I made a new outfit for him too and there I managed to make the Orange more prominent... but I'll share that one after ep 23 because I need to know if I can design a new outfit for Francis or not (PLS PLS PLS BE YES)

the original Trudy !!
I listened to Labour by Paris Paloma on loop while I was planning and researching her design lol and this one is responsible for a google doc I made where I tried my best to make a timeline pre-peachyville events just so I could figure out which 1900s decade her clothes should be based off of (late 1940s, early 1950s btw)
I imagine her being completely opposite to our Trudy clothing wise, but still maintaining her signature color, Pink! She is also engulfed in Tucker's signature color, Aqua, to symbolize the hold he has on her... speaking of Tucker...

the Trouts !
this might be a long one, I'm sorry in advance...
so... first of all, I know in the ep 13 episode art Tucker and the robot kids are shown as being poc, but I completely forgot about that, and I designed them like you see now... I hesitated sharing the designs because of that and maybe evaluating changing them. Then ep 16 came out and in the episode art Tucker isn't a poc anymore so I said fck it I'm keeping the designs especially because I loved them.
Ok, with that out of the way, let me explain my thought process.
Tucker, and consequentially Lil Tuck and Tiffany's, signature color is Aqua because that color is very science-y to me. I also made the three of them really pale because 1) basement and 2) robot vibes.
Design wise, Lil Tuck and Tiffany are almost exact copies of Tucker and each other to hint at the fact they're robots and add a sense of uncanniness to them. Timmy, being the actual human child, is the complete opposite and has much more prominently not just Trudy's signature color (but darker to symbolize his detachment from her) but also her features like her skin tone, hair color, and nose. (I'm a sucker for angst, so imagining the ep 13 scene where Timmy rejects our Trudy while looking a lot like her was an image too enticing to ignore).

the bad parents award goes to...
(If I wrote Francis' mom name wrong pls pls pls let me know I used the dndads wiki as a guide for it, but idk how to confirm it's accurate)
these two are the latest characters i've designed !
for their facial features, I just recreated Francis in Sims 4 and then used the DNA feature to make his parents and boom !! my reference is born...
So, to me, Francis signature color is Red because of all the macho man violence influence things, and it felt very fitting to add that color to his parents too ! Although, I made them very purple-y as well and here is my epic reveal...
Any Peachyville character I design that has Purple as a prominent color is part of the Bisons and/or Project Heartland. (Tucker has a lot of purple on him too, if you look back... including his glasses)
And anyone with purple as a subtle color in their design is connected or has been affected by those groups
oh also I know the Spiral mark is supposed to be on Kamonwan's hand, but uuh I vetoed that because I wanted her to be able to hide it, and it felt weird giving her gloves so now it's under her sleeve jaja (and Ed's is on his chest ofc)

That is all ! If you're reading this, wow... thanks for taking the time to read all that! Here's an extra color thing for ya:
in my head, Zhouzel's representative color is a purple-pink, close to magenta but not that bright. Like this:
(ooh unpublished drawing... it's one of my two submissions for the dndads pride zine, but shh don't tell anyone)
And that inspired the whole Bison - Project Heartland purple theme (and a fun thing with Kelsey's eyes that I won't get into right now)
Anyway... thanks for indulging me! I hope I can draw more Peachyville characters (like Kelsey's siblings, Ross and John; Brian the Librarian; Big Shane Silva... idk ! we'll see what happens) and share them here too (just not with as much text lmao)
Like my art? Consider buying me a coffee (kofi) !
