[I.D. Digital drawing of a Supervillain au of TMNT 2003, showing Bishop with his wife Melody, an OC. The drawing is done in a limited color palette with shades of red and orange. Melody smiles, one hand on Bishop's chest as she holds a tube of chap stick to his lips, and he looks surprised, almost cross-eyed as he looks at her. End I.D.]
initially had dialogue for this that i was gonna add but i. forgot. anyway bishop has dry ass lips 95% of the time i think
Melody White: Heartslabyul Infection AU DTIYS Submission
This is my submission for @plushieray2 DTIYS!
I absolutely wanted to put my dear Melody in this AU, partially because she’s so close with Trey, Riddle and Che’nya and partially because I like designing new silly outfits for her. :3 (Plus I love playing with character dynamics)
Some background for Melody for people unaware, she is an NRC student who grew up in the Queendom of Roses and was close friends with Trey Che’nya and Riddle, Trey became basically an older brother to Melody and they treat each other like siblings.
If you want more info on just Melody look here
Also TW for under the cut, injury, implied blood/blot, vomiting.
On with the show…
Now for the story, after Riddle’s overblot, Melody has noticed Trey and Riddle have been acting a bit off. While most of the campus is none the wiser, Melody knows her brother and knows something is up, so she reaches out. All she wants is to meet up and see him, preferably in her dorm of Ramshackle, but when he insists he can’t make it, but could make time in Heartslabyul for some tea, Melody agrees offering to bring cookies. Upon reaching the dorm the sweet scent of roses is in the air, Melody sat with Trey and talked over tea mentally noting the new outfit, as she sipped the rose tea and nibbled on the cookies. At first Trey seemed a bit off to her, but the longer she stayed things started to make sense? Sort of… Something was wrong. Melody said she had to go, as she wasn’t feeling well, Trey did follow for a bit before feeling Riddle’s hand telling him to let her go.
Melody didn’t make it far before reaching the rose maze and started puking blot, her head was fuzzy as she tried to focus. Pain cleared her mind as the rose maze reached out its vines entangling Melody and keeping her tethered to the dorm. Not long after Riddle joined her and much like her brother, seeing Riddle’s face her demeanor softened just enough to let go, and accept the joy that Riddle was spreading. Riddle freed Melody from the vines and comforted her, telling her she could stay in Heartslabyul with them. Melody was an honorary member of Heartslabyul, and completed the set of Riddle’s childhood friends, so Riddle would make an exception with bringing her joy.

What is Melody like now?
I’m so glad you asked :)
Melody is still battling the “joy” but rarely pokes through.
She is probably the most cheery member of this group as she had a friendly demeanor prior to her joining.
Her outfit is supposed to be a bit more ringleader than clown, due to the potential manipulation and control, Melody could do with her signature spell.
Some of the rose vines were stuck to her and are supposed to be puppet strings, as while she can control others, ultimately she is the one being puppeted. She usually hides them under long sleeves.
Relationships
Riddle: Melody spends quite a bit of time with Riddle, definitely not mentally trying to figure out how to fix this, totally… but does actually enjoy spending some quiet time with Riddle enjoying some tea. Riddle also enjoys her company, but does suspect there’s something going on. Also Riddle does have to tell Melody to stop encouraging the first years to spread the joy.
Ace: Melody is like the Mom friend to Ace and Deuce, though Melody can flip flop on her support of Ace and Deuce wanting to spread joy. Part of her wants to spread this joy to others, but the other part knows Riddle’s rules. Typically Riddle’s rules win out, so while Melody will encourage Ace to listen, she may also turn a blind eye when Ace brings some flowers to Epel. Though after Riddle’s punishment for Ace she’s become much more protective of the first years. Ace was confused at first why Melody was allowed to feel the joy, but after awhile of her being around got over it. He appreciates her comforting support especially after Riddle’s punishment.
Deuce: Melody is Mom friend, same as Ace, except with added emotional support as Deuce needs it. Deuce was also confused as Ace was, wondering why she could get joy but they couldn’t give joy to people like Yuuken. He gets over it and accepts her motherly nature.
Trey: Melody is happy to be with her brother and does try to get through to him when she has her moments, but Trey will calm her back to her joyful self. Melody bakes with Trey and they may or may not be workshopping some rose based treats. Trey is happy to have his sister closer to him and Riddle, reminds him of when they were kids, especially when Che’nya drops by.
Cater: Melody is concerned by Cater, almost immediately clocks that he knows too much also not a huge fan of his obsession with Riddle. She can tolerate being in a room with him, but she can just feel the glares he gives her at times. Cater is extremely jealous/salty of Melody’s presence and her natural closeness with Riddle. He thinks it was a mistake bringing her in and also knows she’s looking too hard into things.
Che’nya: Melody is so happy when she discovers Che’nya is here as well, they will chat a bit and she enjoys his chaos. Especially when it’s at Cater’s expense :). Che’nya is happy to see his old friend as well and does genuinely like causing chaos. He finds it funny how tense Cater gets around himself and Melody.
This was so fun to draw, I hope you enjoy! I tried to do at least one interaction with each of the Heartslabyul boys + Che’nya (I love Che’nya, especially for this AU). One of my favorite bits to draw was the Cater and Che’nya bit in the background mostly for the salt bit, but also I just love their dynamic. Plus adding Melody into the mix makes it much more complicated. Again hope you enjoy this rendition of my character in your AU.
last year i was bored and decided to make some moxxie and millie fan kids ! they were just supposed to be silly haha fun characters but then i started writing a whole story and adding a bunch of side characters and it got out of hand… but i wont go into it rn bc it definitely needs to be reworked and more completed before i can talk about it haha
but i can tell yall a little about them below the cut if you wanna read it! i will def be drawing more of them soon i love them sm. i will also try to design older versions of the canon main characters too as well as posting about more ocs from the twin’s story
EDIT: i made this entire post before sinsmas but im posting it anyways. obviously there won’t be much of a point to these characters after millie has her kid (if she has it) LOL so not sure how much more ill draw them now but i still love them and wanted to post them anyway
maverick
- maverick aka mav, is the son of moxxie and millie and the twin brother of melody. he is sixteen years old. he lives in the pride ring with his family.
- mav presents himself as a troubled brooding teen, going through a phase where he feels disconnected from his family and is struggling to figure out where he belongs in society and what he wants from his life
- on the outside, mav is a snarky and overly confident teenage boy who likes fighting and playing the guitar. he hesitates to let people in and often defends his feelings with a sharp and often cruel sense of humor, although a lot of the time he doesn’t mean the words that he says
- despite his stereotyoical demeanor, maverick is actually incredibly sharp minded and curious, constantly questioning the world around him and why things are the way that they are. he overthinks things a lot and ends up feeling incredibly troubled. however, because of his cynical outlook on life he believes no one can help him, and doesn’t bother asking the people he loves for help
- maverick has always been skilled in weaponry and combat, something that’s in his genes but was only taught to him for a few years as a child, however his parents attempted to steer his attention away from this interest, as their overprotective nature took over, not wanting their son to feel like he has to become a killer too
- maverick feels as though there’s nothing that makes him special and often feels overlooked when compared to his extremely talented and more extroverted sister. he is pretty athletic but doesn’t have the same ferocity as his mother or sharpshooting techniques of his father. he was taught to play guitar and enjoys making music but definitely is no where near as passionate or talented as his sister
melody
- melody is the daughter of moxxie and millie and the twin sister of maverick. she is sixteen years old. she lives in the pride ring with her family.
- melody takes on a lot of traits from her father. she has a huge interest in musical theater, and wishes to become a famous actress and singer one day
- due to this aspect of her personality, she is rather extroverted and peppy, very talkative and slightly hyperactive like her mother. she has a desperate need for attention and validation, which can make her come across as a bit annoying or intense to those who aren’t used to her
- despite her parent’s jobs as assassins, melody tries to avoid violence at all costs. she finds it disturbing and has no interest in fighting or killing. however, she has violent instincts in her, and when people she loves are threatened she can become suprisingly outraged and violent despite hating her outbursts
- melody has a very feminine dress style and takes great care in her appearance. she thinks of her life as one grand performance and panics if she’s not seen at her idea of “perfect”. this wasn’t something that bothered her as a kid, but as she gets older she’s becoming increasingly aware of her position in society, as a female imp, and just how hard she’ll have to work to make herself “perfect” in order to find even an ounce of success

I LOVE HER SHE'S MY GIIIIIRLLLLL
PRINCESSGENDER ANGEL
For frame of reference, she/her are pronouns she uses only because most people don't know what Xenogenders or Neopronouns are so she's resigned herself to them (so she doesn't really like when people use them). Here's her actual pronouns:
"Princess is going for a walk today, and with princess is princess's favorite pink umbrella since it might rain. Princess looks at princess-self in the reflection of the park pond and admires just how darling princess looks today!"
^ used in an example
Them big ole eyes,,,
Princess go :3
The sketch looks like princess is about to use princess's big ole eyes to ask Pigsy for food gshfgjkh
