Proxies from different stories, separate Arks, together enjoying some downtime from their daily troubles
I never post work in progress on tumblr but
Im cooking something up right now
My Sebastian design from ranfrenber casually makes a comeback
Updated Zahara's reference sheet.
Working on updating all my oc's refs.
Date night for the freaks
"I went to the Split Hoof and bought Mutten"
Thats right, Muttens got a new look! Lets pretend the other one didn't exist mk? XD
Anyways, I did a big brain and actually developed more lore for her game, since I made Mutten as if she was a new Lucid chapter.
------------------------------------------------------
The videogame Mutten comes from is a dating sim game called "The Split Hoof: Marrow's table" where the MC spends 1 week living in this backwater town as they research the off-putting place for a college paper they need to write in Folklore studies. While the MC is livina there. thev can't go grocery shopping because this town is that cut off from the rest of the world. so at the end of everyday, when they finish their research, they head to this restaurant called The Split Hoof. The owner's name is Marrow and this is when the story really kicks off because vou learn that this town is a cannibal town and the food they sell is people, under normal labels of corse. such as Veal. Mutten. Ribeve. Goose and Marrow.
It's a common practice to learn about vour favorable meal in this town, so whatever vou choose your character will spend 1 week, dining with their food The MC doesn't know what they are eating, they just think its a custom for the emplovee who "made the dish" to sit with vou while vou dine. however as the days past, the employee you chose starts looking physically weaker, less restrained, more desperate.
There are 2 endings per character, one good and one bad, obviously the good one is, the emplovee surviving with vou, vou save them, and the bad is...having a well deserved meal.
I'd like to add that since Marrow is the owner and head Chef, his path is a secret and the player isn't supposed to be able to obtain his route till day 3 if you by chance choose the right options to trigger his unique dialog.
------------------------------------------------------
Veal Rozwarn: A quiet goth girl who is into the strange and macabre.
MC can relate to her by talking more about their research over each meal. On dav 7 when thev find out what they are eating, instead of freaking out thev should thank Veal and sav this will be the highlight of their research. This leads to the good ending where Veal is emotionally moved and begs vou to request a take out as she wants to continue helping you in your future research projects, any other reactions will lead to Marrow intervening ana forcing you to sit down and finish vour meal.
Mutten Etomie: a bright and ditsy girl, she loves to talk about show business and how she's always wanted to work as a mime.
MC can relate to her bv instead of talkina about their current research, bringing up a past project of their's where thev did hvsterical research on mimes during a Roman project they were assigned to do in high-school. Each day after supper, you will share a little more information about Mime hystory, leaving Mutten enthralled and wanting more, this leads to the good ending where Mutten- [REDACTED, Story Incomplete
Ribeye Stayven: man who seems tired and agitated most times. theres trouble at home for him and The Split Hoof is his escape.
MC can relate to him by digging into Ribeye's personal life, the excuse is that since his family has been here so long, it would benefit vour research to know. Ribeve will eventually be convinced that The Split Hoof isn't his destiny and he should have a chance at a normal life, this leads to the good ending of Ribeye ditching you mid meal, your sent home while Marrow goes to look for the runaway and you find Ribeye hidden in the back of your car. The bad ending is.you enjoying a well deserved mea searved by Marrow himself
Goose Manchester: a laid back seemingly joyful guy who tries to steal a bite of your meal often whole disguising his feelings with a flirtatious smile and a wink.
MC can relate to him by being quiet, avoidant, mentioning how evervthing feels off and how they don't think they should continue eating this Goose's playthrough is by far the shortest as the good ending is vou escaping the town by not qiving into his advences. the bad endina is Goose not letting you leave, having grown obsessed with your infatuation for him and turning vou into a nice Head Soup meal he shares with Marrow at the end of the day.
Marrow Bedlum: charismatic and slightly intimidating older mar
MC greets Marrow everyday and can ask for their regular (as the meal is a one time payment per week since their working on eating a whole person) or on specifically day 3, requesting a refund. The good ending is essentially MC charming Marrow so much that after feeding you his left arm, he offers you a position working along side him, the bad ending is Marrow agreeing to your refund and forcing vou into becoming the new Split Hoof employee named Carp.
I do plan to make designs for the rest of them someday.

Fyi, Randal only chose Mutten because when he first aunched the game her save file was already there and on day 2, he's lazy so he decided to start it off there then if he liked it he would iust choose other routes. Since Mutten ended up glitching out of the game, he took her interest the most.
Sebastian found interest in Veal the most
Luther took interest in Marrow when he peaked at the game once.
@noirfren 's oc Joanne being amused by Mutten's antics, Mutten really really likes being upside-down lol
Had lots of fun drawing this!
If any other ranfren artists want a drawing of their oc with Mutten, just let me know in the comments <3
Also, I have commissions open in case anyone is interested!
Ranfren Oc's Valentines Day Event!
For my entry I was gifted the opportunity to draw @sparkparty-art and @darknneskitty Ranfren Oc's with Mutten!
Instead of stressing to make 2 separate pictures, they are on a throuple's date ✨️
✨️As per usual I like to include short stories for my art, so here is a fanon corny little story to go along with it✨️
The garden lights faded behind them as Darkness Kitty carried Mutten in his arms and Roo on his shoulders, the soft evening air brushing against their faces. Fireflies lingered behind like tiny glowing witnesses to the night, and the scent of roses drifted faintly in the breeze.
"That was… honestly perfect" Mutten said, her voice stuttering slightly as she leaned against him, a faint glitch flickering along her hand. "I can't believe how pretty it all was!"
Roo snickered from above, tail flicking. "Right? And how cute he made it? Kitty, you really outdid yourself."
Darkness Kitty chuckled, dark eyes glinting in the dim light. "I can thank the internet for the idea" he said, voice low "I was trying to impress you two, I'm glad it worked?"
Mutten blinked,her eyes flickered for a moment, pixels rippling through her iris's "Y-you definitely succeeded!" She chimed
Roo leaned forward, brushing a hand lightly over Kitty’s ears "Yeah, I think I agree with her. You made it… really special. And I loved teasing you the whole time." Her grin turned mischievous "you two are cute when you blush"
He laughed softly, a warm, low sound that carried in the quiet night. "I wouldn't have it any other way, EVEN though the teasing did get annoying”
Mutten shufted a little in his arms, her form glitching for just a fraction of a second. "I still can't belive you asked me to come on this date" Her voice glitched slightly.
"You two have been on my mind for a while" Darkness Kitty corrected gently, glancing at Roo with a soft smile. "I wouldn't trade this for anything."
Roo giggled and played with his hair "your such a charmer Kitty"
He tilted his head, smirk returning "thanks, if I'm honest I was nervous about this"
Mutten giggled, letting out a soft stuttered laugh. "I-I… love us." She nestled closer, pixels flickering softly along her shoulder "you guys reminded me of who I can be"
Roo leaned down "Yeah me too and don’t worry, I'll make sure this isn't the last time we sneak away for a little private date like this, away from the Ivory's" she teased
Darkness Kitty held Mutten a little tighter, letting a soft smile tug at his lips as he glanced at Roo "Good. Because I have a feeling… the next one's going to be even more unforgettable...if you manage to get me out of my room" he chuckled
They continued walking through the quiet streets, the soft night wrapping around them. The three of them continues talking and laughing till they made it home and in that perfect afterglow, all three of them knew one thing for sure: tonight was only the beginning.
Mutten plays dress up with a new friend!
