The Dawn of the CRP OC

title: Slender and Girl date posted: September 22, 2012 description (unedited): Here is de Slenderman and my death angel from "It Started with a Dream..."

Commentary by Mod Leechi: This is one of the first, if not the first instance of creepypasta fanart that can be found on the Chibi-Works DeviantArt page. It should be notes that Tobi wasn't actually in the creepypasta fandom yet when this image was created however -- as she states in this comment thread:

So, as of September 22, 2012, Tobi was not officially in the fandom yet. Rather, she was taking a slight interest in Slenderman (the most mainstream, popular character) and watching documentaries about him. This may have been what caused her to continue going down the creepypasta fandom rabbit hole.

Its also interesting to take into account the words "I wanted to draw him with one of the antagonists in my story". "The Girl", as she's known in these earlier artworks, is not a creepypasta OC. She's an OC that happened to be associated with creepypasta, similar to Cherry Pau. But, that's not to say that "The Girl" (later known as Angel) is has nothing else to do with creepypasta.

Here are two other images wherein The Girl or Angel is prominently featured:

title: The Girl

description (unedited): this is "The Girl" from "it started with a dream"

she is a semi antagonist character also known as death's "Little angel" for she is the Angel of Death

title: Fate date posted: January 18, 2013 description (unedited): So here is the Grimm reaper, the angel of death and a girl named Angel who is coincidentally the reincarnation of the death angel. She is also the girl thats going to bring the end of the world but pssshhhh. Im sure if we entrust the fate of mankind to a bunch of teenagers everything will be fine.

There is real reason to believe that Angel may have inspired the character of Lazari later down the line, especially in terms of design. Both of them are young girls, with long hair, red eyes and pink dresses. Apart from design, the premise of both characters is also quite similar; a young girl born with with a hidden dark power that could lead to mass destruction and death because of circumstances outside of her control.

One commenter, years after the original posting date of "The Girl", points this out as well:

Even if Angel didn't inspire Lazari later down the line, it is fascinating to see one of Tobi's earlier OCs before her work on I Eat Pasta For Breakfast, and that many of the ideas and tropes she would use in her most popular series would carry over into the final product.

Commentary by Mod Madam: It's possible that 'The Girl' could have also been the early inspiration for Lulu (which is a random theory I put together)...

It's a much weaker theory than the Lazari Inspiration theory, but the long dark hair with the paler skin and seemingly shyer nature to Lazari may have given Tobi some inspiration to work on Lulu. With my experience with OCs, sometimes one old OC can be split into different ones with various traits being passed onto each one. Considering in Tobi's works on DeviantArt Lulu art has about equal footing to Lazari art this could be possible...

Also, on the 'Slenderman documentaries', I'm not entirely sure what she could have been watching? Yes, Slenderman was very much in the peak of his popularity in 2012 but from searching it up I didn't actually find any Slenderman specific documentaries from 2012 or before? With the specific use of 'looking up', I think maybe.... Tobi could have actually been looking for Slenderman documentaries and maybe stumbled across something else? Maybe Marble Hornets considering it was still being aired on YouTube actively. I'd be inclined to think so, even though Masky and Hoodie are not at ALL their Marble Hornets selves. But who knows?

From the art made in December 2012, I'm not entirely sure what 'B.C.' could stand for? Was it an online alias or the name of the project the Girl came from? I'll research this and let you all know!

Visions of a Future that Never Was

title: SPOILER date posted: April 15, 2014 description (unedited): That bite gets nasty

Commentary by Mod Leechi: Tobi had a habit of posting artwork that pertained to parts of I Eat Pasta for Breakfast that hadn't been posted yet, essentially spoiling her own comic pages and pages in advance. But since the comic was never finished, these remnants of the story that never came to fruition provide a lot of helpful insight that allow us to further understand what the fuck IEPFB was even about and where the story was actually going.

One can interpret this particular piece however one wants, however the most likely intended meaning of this post is that the bite that Lazari gave EJ at the beginning of the comic would have corrupted his mind and body, transforming him into a servant of Lazari's. This could be why EJ hated her enough to throw her out the window near the end of the comic; he didn't want to become a mindless slave to her.

Nevertheless, the damage had already been done, the bite had already began to infect him, and there was no way for him to return to the state he was previously in before he and Lazari met.

The way this transforms EJ's and Lazari's relationship throughout the comic is interesting; where Lazari sees EJ as a kindred spirit and finds comfort in his presence, EJ sees Lazari as a parasite and a disease that is slowly consuming him. Lazari, unaware of her corrupting abilities, does not even know that she did this to EJ. She doesn't understand why EJ is so angry at her, she's just a naive child that doesn't know any better.

The ship between the two of them is abhorrent, obviously, but what adds insult to injury is that it made for a less interesting dynamic between the two characters. If Tobi had fully gone into this version of the relationship between Lazari and EJ, ditching all the creepy, romantic, "shippy" aspects, perhaps IEPFB would have been more fondly remembered.

The Chibi-Works Genesis

title: Akatsuki boys and Keromi date posted: July 18, 2008 description (unedited): Dont say any thing cause ill get u...jk its my first 1 so dont get mad Keromi is my ninja =]

Commentary by Mod Leechi: If you scroll all the way down the Chibi-Works DeviantArt page, this will be the earliest posted image you find. There is nothing much of substance to this piece as far as our mission of preserving I Eat Pasta For Breakfast is concerned, other than the fact that its one of the earliest pieces created by Tobi and would lay the dominos for the eventual creation of her creepypasta-related work.

It should be noted however that in a more recent post on the same DeviantArt account from 2024, Tobi mentions having deleted many old artworks. Whether or not this is truly the first post is unknown, but either way, Tobi keeping it on their page and not deleting it shows that it is a noteworthy piece in Tobistory.

Also, this was posted EXACTLY one year before Mod Madam's birth. Can you believe that?
