I had a piece for this actually, but I never bothered to finish it and now it's outdated.
So Boom!! New artwork for an old fic just for y'all <3
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
This is Melvin and Blu/Philbert btw :3
Lore, hcs, etc below:
Okay, I can't really call this a 'new' one because the fic's been out for over a year now (yikes)
But this is Melvin and Blu! (His real name is Philbert, but I wrote the fic before knowing it so he's Blu now)
Melvin is the orange StoryBot that appears in the intros of both ATS and SAT. I named him Melvin because it was quite literally a Captain Underpants reference </3
(I also heard rumors that it's his actual name now?? I don't know but THE NAME WAS MINE! I CREATED IT /silly)
Blu (or Philbert) is that blue StoryBot that periodically appears in both ATS and SAT. They work in the same department
[This is explained in the note of the story but idk who reads that (or this)]
World building! The Answer Department is in two sections. The Upstairs and Downstairs. There's a lot of questions so it makes sense.
Blu works Upstairs with Hap, his assistants, the Answer Teams, and Rose (who makes an appearance)
Melvin works Downstairs with Hub and Bub (who don't make an appearance) and the computer / technically less direct StoryBots
Blu is one of Hap's assistants and part-time inventor. He's not a fan of his job, but it pays sorta well.
Melvin is a receptionist. He handles phone calls, emails, basically whatever his boss is screaming about him now. He loves his job and is overly optimistic
A sun and a moon! Peak ship dynamic.
I love these two a lot. Sadly, it's the same boat as FrankAda where they don't interact ever, so I have very little content </3
I may write another fic with them. I love them enough
(Yes, both of these characters have little to no personality. But is that even surprising???)
