Anala from @phoenixflaircomic ! Drawn for an art game on the Sleepless Domain Discord.

Felt like drawing a bunch of mahous...so I grabbed one from each of the magical-girl (or boy) webcomics I follow, and put them in a loosely-rainbow-themed team-up.

Phoenix Flair characters with trollsonas

Isabella: obviously

Lily: technically has one because she saw Isabella's once and asked she draw her "like one of those gray little goblins"

Anala: burned all her middle school doodles of her trollsona hanging out with Nepeta

Claire: doesn't have one, but she definitely saved at least one of anala's old drawings of them

abso fucking lutely

hey everyone, sorry i've been so quiet, but i have good news! the phoenix flair movie deal finally landed, so i won't have to do the comic anymore! instead, look forward to the release of PHOENIX FLAIR THE MOVIE this fall, starring Scarlett Johansson and Chris Pratt!

the new kids are bad influences

Wait, from what I've seen so far, Phoenix Flair is a response/re-examination/whatever of Magical Girl stuff that doesn't revolve around lots of dead magical girls? Is that even allowed? I mean, to make a cynical/critical response to magical girl stuff that doesn't seem to have a creepy, at least quasi-misogynistic fixation on their deaths?

haha! this means a lot to me! i think the magical girl genre could seriously be spiced up by more introspective meta stuff- and it already has been, by stuff like Utena and even Princess Tutu!  but if your only idea on how to examine a genre is to have a lot of blood and sadness and a scene where the character is covered in blood and they’re laughing creepily and their pupils are real small…. well, lol

anyways, i’m glad that that part of Phoenix Flair got across to you, and i’m honestly really happy you phrased it as ‘a response/examination’ as opposed to a ‘deconstruction,’ cause that’s really what it is! it’s meant to examine the genre but not tear it down, you know? 

this ask made me really happy! i keep saying it over and over but i wanna return to Phoenix Flair real soon…. and i will, maybe sooner than is apparent??? let’s see…
