#levi bug fables

POV: You're Monsieur Scarlett, and someone with unfinished business had finally found you

A little doodle inspired by spectralgecko's Amped AU glorious designs :3c

yo yo i drew levi! was supposed to be a small sketch (i did that 5 min timer to start) but i ended up getting motivated and turned it into a semi-completed drawing. kinda scribbled for color/shading but i think it actually came out pretty cool in da end

[fandomfantasyy]

oh my god. celia. i love celia. i could go on about this girl for HOURS.

honestly shes one of the characters ive loved since i met her. shes so blunt and almost rude, but honestly? shes blunt/rude in the way that its hard to tell if she realizes shes doing it. honestly? the entire game, i was so waiting for her to say smth that was considered rude, get called out for it, and then hit us with the "wait what did i say??"

her dynamic with levi makes me so joyous inside too!! me and my bf regularly play bug fables, and when we do, we usually voice act the characters. as the main voice actor for the fem characters, i ADORE putting as much emotion into her voice as i can during the requesting assistance quest, because i can only imagine the panic she felt.

i love watching her just. exist. because shes got so much to her character but she is NOT talked about enough. i feel like shes got the biggest inferiority complex, but she truly fakes it until she makes it with confidence and its somehow working?? confuses her, confuses levi, but who gives a fuck?? its WORKING. (besides when drinking. how much did girl drink to get THAT fucking wasted.)

lastly, i love how simple her design is. yeah, i know theyre all pretty simplistic, but hers is so plain and simple, arguably quite a bit more simple than the regular ant guards. but shes so easily recognizable and if anyone showed me her color(s) of blue without any context id immediately scream celia and start smiling widely. i love when people can make such simple designs so damn memorable, because thats something that can really make or break a game for me.

one day i will write a fanfic where she gets severely traumatized. any blorbo of mine will be fucking traumatized. why? because im an angst fiend idk

"No ladybugs in the kingdom. Not a single one. Forbidden. No entry for them. Except for Levi, he's chill fr" (c) Queen Elizant II, probably

I were redrawing memes to rev up the me drawing engine, decided to keep this one. Original below

And another one...

Thank you, spectralgecko, for template. Now I can spread the insanity.

Explanations, if you want such.

To note and to lore drop, purely my worldview you are free to disagree and ignore - I usually operate on the self-invented "presumption of affectionate friendship" - basically, "if it's not clearly stated those two are lovers, then they are just very good friends", or "they are good friends unless proven otherwise" (the "but they talked funny!" does not work, shipping someone for being on one screen is dumb). Because most people understand love very narrow-mindedly, they think you can only be close, affectionate, friendly, open and it cetera only with lovers - and thats a result of devaluing friendship. Meanwhile, friendship can be as endearing and sometimes even more wholesome than love. This presumption is also why I don't like Kabbu x Neolith, but you do you, people.

But, for the sake of funsies, I like to go sometimes silly, like it happened with Neolith and Beast. Or in this case (looks at Celia and Levi) remind that friendship also has -ship on the end (◕‿↼)

Elom and Tecki - canon, and I kinda like the dynamic of curing the depression.

Elizant x Neolith - idea by Conflicted Writer that seeing Neolith, the ray of sunshine, in her self-loathing life can be a ground for a romance.

Leif x Muse - canonical ship that has to get an AU where Muse died alongside Leif. People tend to forget the fun guy literally was married.

Hoaxe x Hornet - I won't elaborate. Yet. But for an idea, thank to Lord Terrakion on discord

Hornet x Zasp - regarding lore drop earlier, crying out loud, it is a guilty pleasure. There is not much way that could be plausible, but I love it and I perfectly understand that might be hypocritical

Scuba Ant x Aquaphobic Termite is a strange one. It was a crack idea, and while totally like to image oke helping another at some point - because its wholesome - making them a pair is a joke with a seed of possibility.

Levi x Celia - oh boy, I love when pre-established enemies find a common ground and then build a tight bond. There is so much to think about. How they got together? How Levi even managed to pull that off? What they went through together to be that close *nods to Scarlett boss fight*. Like seriously, Celia abandoned any reason or tactic when she saw the gay ant™ knocking her partner off, rushed in - and in a fashion so reckless that she also got conked down instantly. My Dice... it's a situation where I use the "presumption of affectionate friendship", but with all due honesty, it's TOO easy to make them into lovers.

Also, Levi could be a large part why Elizant agrees to get ladybugs back into the Kingdom. Its almost like noble and honest work shows you are ready to take amends and take responsibility for actions of your compatriots, which results in people seeing you in better light... and it works way better than assualt, battery, stealing and saying "you're the bad ones because you don't accept us", EH ASTOTHELES? (Pet peeve, please ignore).

(Totally adequate about Celia and Levi)

Elizant x Hoaxe - born as a what if. In Wasp Kin AU, Hoaxe with little entourage rushes to help Ant Kingdom repel the Dead Landers invasion. And he end up fighting side by side with Elizant. Good first impression makes for a rich soil for further relationship, if you play cards right. IT IS NOT CANONICAL to Wasp Kin, but an interesting thought.

Beast x Neolith - citation, "it's stupid, implausable, low key deranged, so fuck it we ball". Unlike Wasp Kin, this is a key point in Awaken the Beast AU (only the one where Beast is anthropomorphic)

Ok bye.
