(Pardon the Belle, she's his emotional everything)
Cold's interpretation, from my time running the cold Tourney, typically goes in 2 direction: he looked like he just walked out of a funeral, as an attendee or as the ghost.
While I LOVE those motifs to death, at the time I didn't want that. Cold didn't scream like a mourner to me, just someone tired of most things, with a few things (new stimulations) and people (his loved ones) that really keeps him moving every day. That and with his counterpart/girlfriend being a fan Damsel Route, and he comes out looking very...normal, for lack of better terms. Like someone who almost didn't bother to get out of bed, and is running on the bare minimum to get through the day.
Yes he was based on Sans, minus the puns
Though he's not all depressions and apathy, his clothes are supposed to invoke comfort and safety and relaxation. His flocks does not force him to do anything he doesn't want to do, but he's not being left to his devices either and rot away. He's struggling, but he's learning about himself. So he's comfortable, despite his attitude. So he's gonna be OK. What that "ok" will look for cold is everyone's guess, though.
Thanks for stopping by, here's Cold in a dress as a reward
The only thing changed about how I draw cold is how I am more used to drawing that mop of hair of his. Also I give more hips and chest bc I am weak/hj
gaang (minus zuko and y/n) what do you guys think about zuko and y/n (along w jet and mai)
“zuko and y/n would make a great couple. they’re honestly meant to be. but they’re both too blind to see that. y/n thinks zuko love mai when he actually loves her and zukos too much of a pussy to actually say anything” -toph
“i feel like they’d make a really cute couple! you should see how zuko smiles when y/n’s around! and you should see how red y/n gets when she’s with zuko!” -aang
“zuko and y/n would be cute, but not as cute as suki and i. they just need to admit it to each other” -sokka
“y/n and zuko are good for each other. y/n keeps zuko grounded and zuko helps y/n loosen up. y/n may seem dense but she’s the most selfless person i know. that’s why she doesn’t want to admit her feelings for zuko because she doesn’t wanna take him away from mai, no matter how much she hates it and how much it hurts her” -katara
“y/n and zuko wouldn’t be good for each other, let’s be honest. zuko doesn’t seem like he even cares about y/n, and she’s too into me to even notice him, if i were zuko i’d just back off completely” -jet
“y/n and zuko? why would that even be a pairing. i get that they’re costars but i don’t think there’s any chemistry there. they would be boring together. zuko won’t find what he wants in her” -mai
I wonder how mutt would look like as a naga or lamia qwq i would so much like to adopt him then😅
Ironically, I was going to draw him as a naga maybe a few weeks back; It was with his back facing while snuggling someone… But hey, this tends to be fun, too! He’s a HUGE NOODLE BOY!
Also, don’t worry about the resting bitchface. He will be super cuddly; He likes to get close to his prey friends. ♥
Mai Mai Mai Mai Mai (pesters you) for the ask game, if it hasn't been dond, 10 and 11 for oppythorn
Referring to this ask game
For Oppythorn/Thorntunist
10. Do they have anything they dont like about one another? Any annoying habits or bad incidents in the past?
Aside from the big one (coughthornchapter), they typically like each other, but individually, there are some things that do irritate each other.
- Opportunist/Poppy (he/him): Lack of self worth - Poppy is incredibly self conscious, as a person. He has learned to curbed it, thankfully. But it still manifests in overcorrections. When he perceives he did something wrong (regardless if he did or not), he apologizes by doing actions to get back on the "Good side". One of the worse of it was in the beginning, he spent days building Thorn a greenhouse, forgoing sleeping and eating, until Stubborn had to drag him home, at her request.
- Thorn: Grudges - While Poppy has trouble letting go of past mistakes and has to compensate, Thorn has trouble letting go of past grudges and has to feel like they were "paid for". She was and is still on edge with certain people because of slights they have done in the past. While Poppy was her boyfriend, he was also the main source of her ire, for a while. She may be tired of the hurt, but like her scars, they took a while to stop hurting. And to this day, she still had a habit of keeping a mental note of lil slights. She will not forget what she has been through, much to her detriment.
11. How would they deal with those things? Do they have open communication or do they just bottle it up?
I cannot emphasize enough: they DO COMMUNICATE!
All of what I listed above were major problems early in the relationship: Thorn subtly could get Poppy to do anything for her because of his guilt, and Poppy could tell when something upset her, even when she said otherwise. They were roadblocks that any sane person would see and dip. But not these two. Individually and with loved ones, they worked through it day by day.
The road to where they are is covered In the thorns that made up their apologies, but they knew it won't be easy to be at peace with what they are, and chose to walk together hand-in-hand. And while there are trips and falls, their familiarity with each other was what made them see that what they had is worth any pain they could endure.
Can I ask for 6 and 7 for both Heropris and Skeptmare, please?
Referencing this ask game
Ok let's do this one at a time
(Note: most of this info and hoe they came together based on my au)
HEROPRIS
6. Which character developed feelings first? And is there a specific moment or way this could've happened?
Hero, no doubt about it. Though her confession coupled with some eggs being cracked (lol). She met Pris in Chapter 2 of the Prisoner. And coming out of a Decider who's more active, she inherited the need to act. That's what win the Prisoner over, but he didn't love her back right away.
7. Which character confessed their feelings first? And how was it? What did they do? How were they feeling?
Hero was just happy to be friends, and as Prisoner was exploring himself and cracking his egg, it was natural they came together to share experiences. From there, Hero grew to love him more, with how Pris is so focused and knows what to say and do. Meanwhile Pris grew to admire Hero's bravery and kind heart, even in the face of danger.
Things just happened from there, with a confession from Hero and Pris simply kissing her to reciprocate.
SKEPTMARE
6. Which character developed feelings first? And is there a specific moment or way this could've happened?
Nightmare caught on first, but she didn't admit it to be such. She only knew how to hurt, in the beginning. So their encounter was marred with feeling scorned and wanting to be freed. As for Skeptic, he didn't fear her, and spawned in Chapter 2 through miscommunication and misunderstandings. That lead him to wanting to get to the bottom of this Princess, and talking to her, ignoring what she could do entirely because he didn't face her afraid. ("Shutting down our organs from proximity is not a thing!" Or smth like that)
Eventually, this tug-o-war of ideals broke and the Nightmare and the Skeptic saw through each other. While the details of how you achieved that are vague in my head (I always imagined Skeptic trying to grab her to get her to talk, and Nightmare dodged, so it turned into a chase/dance between the two), he finally realized that all Nightmare want is freedom, and so he grants it.
That's when Nightmare realized Skeptic isn't some scared little bird...and that maybe he's genuinely trying to understand her.
(I gotta write down how they met...maybe I'll ask @/writingdevil for advice)
7. Which character confessed their feelings first? And how was it? What did they do? How were they feeling?
As for this, it was Skeptic, surprisingly enough. Skeptic was really the only voice willing to be around her, and she got to learn from him. Nightmare learned how to love without hurting, to let down her mask and to trust people again. While Skeptic learned more about her and who she was behind the mask. There were setbacks and hurts, but he saw a woman who would do anything for him, and something in him craved that level of trust. She trusted him, and far be for him to break that trust.
He said as such, over dinner. It wasn't meant to be romantic in nature, but the couple kissed under candle and moonlight. Or as much as they could with that mask. He will wait for her to be ready for that. He didn't need anything fancy. Just a simple promise.
It was so serious, he's the only one in the flock to officially marry their princess. They didn't need the legality of marriage, but the idea of vowing to be together forever through everything sounded appealing to them. So they got the wedding bands the dress and
(Surprises under the cut)
Hey, you made it this far. Thanks for reading. Here's some cute doodles of the featured couples
I love Skeptmare a lot. And Heropris my beloved. Really there isn't a ship that I dislike
Oh and My skeptic is hc to be Italian bc why not?
And bc i couldn't help myself, here's a doodle of em in their wedding outfits. Yes outfits. I love dressing up~
Hii Mai!! Can I ask about Paranoid or Hero for the ask game, please?
[Referring to this ask game]
Why not both!?
Let's start with Paranoid~
As stated in their own post, Paranoid is meant to invoke a final girl, someone who will experience horrors but is fated to survive, despite the odds (Though in the case of the game..."surviving" might be too loose)
I modeled them off of camp counselors, specifically from the first Friday the 13th movie, bc I like the yellow, and at the time, I didn't had a voice design with a yellow color. Most of my voices have a palette or main color to distinguish them. Bc I know my ass will not be consistent or satisfied with a design, so I may as well make the colors stay similar.
Said movie is also what i think about when i think final girl. Plus, like...cabin in the woods, potential eldritch entity in the basement. If stp was a movie, it would be a cheap B-movie slasher at best, in the nicest way possible. Everything about her is to invoke a scared guy, who is the last to survived the horrors and is trying to make it to see the sequel~
Thankfully, in their case, she befriended the horrors (the Spectre) instead of running away from it.
And onto the Hero~ or Hera, bc its known I transed her.
A bit of disclaimer: the voice designs are with a personal au in mind. I am of the opinion the voices are shaped by their Decider's perception of what their traits are. And since the Decider in my au is NOT the Long Quiet, that means they looked more human. And have a wider grasp on concepts like right or wrong, or gender.
So that's my explanation for why Hero is Hera. As for Knight design, @/remaking-machine and @/itsonlypolite were big inspirations, but I wanted to lean into the Knight motifs even more bc in my au, Hero was the only voice to appear in Prisoner, and thus became the "Hero", the "Savior" to break her(later him) free.
As for the spears, I wanted Hera to have the ability to fight back, since she's not just the Decider's autonomy (well, she is for the Long Quiet, just not the decider), she has the Decider's good will, which includes the will to act. And since they got out with trusting each other with a healthy dose of belief, the spears represent her ability to act, to take actions when the need calls to it, rather than passively waiting for a choice.
Thanks for sticking around. As a bonus, here's a recent doodle of em to show any changes since the references was made.
Not much, tbh. Maybe hera has a visible mouth but I can chalk it to her being relaxed and this is a sketch. Paranoid remains mostly unchanged.
