Ace Bunny Colored Doodles! Here are some of my hcs of his life pre-hero
Here's doodles of him now. Tbh as a kid, I thought he had electric powers, which I thought were connected to his laser vision. So my dumbass always waited for him to do something electric-related other than laser beams, then get frustrated that he doesn't.
For once, as a treat to my younger self, I drew him HAVING electric powers. Also screwed around with the effects and limitations bc why not
I'm not yet done watching Loonatics (not that I've been watching it properly), but hoooo boi. I rly like WeatherVane but I think she's been underutilized as a character. Her intro's okay and all, but after the episode?? Uhh nah... which sucks. This was supposed to be an attempt to add more "sense" into her character, but instead, I ended up making an entirely different take on her. Woops.
((Excuse the cruddy quality... i drew this asap on paper bc I know that I'll be busy soon. Again. Also I forgot her name's Paula Hayze jfnffjfj ignore that))
I modified their outfits a bit to highlight the fact that Paula's more fitting for the job than Misty. I think... it'll make more sense that Paula would just want the weather report to be delivered justly. She may also be passionate about the climate, hence why she seems to know what she's talking about.
[More details + drawings under the cut!]
Added an hc to explain her knowledge bc why not you can't stop me
I hc her to be adopted and raised into a bird couple, the mom being a climatologist while the father is a meteoroligist. They taught Paula everything she knew, sharing their knowledge and passion of their profession. What captivated Paula the most is the weather.
Despite being good at their jobs, Paula's parents aren't respected in their neighborhood. They didn't understand the family's "obsession" of nature's behavior. At some point, they even mocked Paula's pops when he risked his life to observe a hurricane that occurred in their town. It bothers the girl to know that people are willing to pay attention to what TV folks have to say, but then ignore those who actually provided the information. This pushed Paula to pursue weather forecasting as a way to educate others and for the risks taken by people like her father to not be in vain. (She also concludes from this experience that people mostly put the worse people on a pedestal. She wouldn't be a fan of the Loonatics as a result)
Unfortunately, even after getting a job as part of the newscasting crew, she didn't do that. Not that she can, people barely listen to her.
The crew would pay attention at first, but then either forget or disregard her. The one who mistreats her the most is Misty Breeze, who doesn't even bother to listen to her criticism and suggestions. When she did, the woman would claim that SHE thought of it. Although frustrated, Paula did not give up. She can't - not when she's still part of the crew
After the meteor incident and the rise of the loonstics, things turned for the worse.
Paula didn't know she had weather powers. What she does know is that she become more "sensitive" lately (as her coworkers say).
Misty is at the peak of her brattiness when this ep. started, making Paula all the more frustrated. The fury she's feeling causes the already bad weather to worsen. So the usual stuff happens (Misty dumps coffee on Paula, rain pours on her, yadda yadda), but instead of being able to report, the weather got even worse to the point it was nearly impossible to report it (this is influenced by Paula's excitement. Excitement =/= Calmness) . Misty comes back to find their stuff in shambles from the weather, then acusses Paula to screw up everything. It leads to Paula ranting and scolding Misty for being such a rude diva that should stop accusing others over things she can't control.
Of course, Misty is offended. And of course, no one sides with Paula, especially since Misty is ACMEtropolis's beloved news reporter. Their boss fired Paula at the spot to appease Misty.
Realizing all her attempts were in vain, Paula eventually broke down, turning into WeatherVane
