Vil overblot in my au

So, Riddle's OB Groovy came out and I was talking to @avionvadion about it and I was going over why Riddle's OB Groovy looks like that and I realized something really cool.

The OB cards are the REVERSE of the OG Villain arcs.

Lemme explain!

Disney Villains usually in their story arcs have a massive high point where they seemingly get EVERYTHING they want before they lose all that carefully laid planning and composure that they've had for most of the movie. Usually that breakdown in the third act is what directly leads to their death because they've become so blinded by their emotions and pride and drive, they become so reckless that they get themselves trapped or killed.

That's what the overblot is for each of the OB boys. It's that reckless emotional breakdown that kills the villains and that's why the OB is fatal when someone overblots. That's also why Vil's Phantom looks like the Evil Queen's Hag form, Jamil's looks like Jafar's genie form, Azul's looks like Ursula's Ruler of the Ocean form, and Malleus's looks like Maleficent's dragon form. Those are the forms those villains DIED in (If you haven't seen the Return of Jafar, Jafar does die in that movie and he is in his genie/djinn form).

However, the GROOVIES are based on the HIGH POINTS where the Villain has seemingly gotten or is about to get everything they WANT.

And that's freaking clever because we know that, except for Malleus, these card images are after they've faced themselves in their personal Abyss and seen the worst parts of themselves. Malleus, meanwhile, had to face the worst of himself by what happened to Lilia and realizing he'd done that to Lilia. In short, by accepting all parts of themselves, including the parts they don't like or want to acknowledge, the OB boys are going to be able to one day achieve everything they want.

We know this because it's already started to happen for Idia. One of Idia's big dreams as a child was to be a hero. Thanks to Malleus's Overblot, Idia has achieved that. While Silver did most of the fighting against Malleus, he did technically lose. Idia's the one who magically directed the sword and broke Malleus's horn off, stopping Malleus's rampage. While he may not get the credit for it, he did stop Malleus when Silver got knocked down. It might not a big, flashy achievement full of accolades, but it was stepping up and being a hero when Silver and Sebek couldn't do it. So, he did reach that dream.

Idia's the first to start achieving his goals, but the OB Groovies are showing that the OB boys, while it may not be in the way they THOUGHT, will achieve their goals eventually. It's gonna come because they've already hit rock bottom by overblotting.

The only way for them to go now is up.

i'm back on my bullshit again >:3{

vil overblot redesign! i'm pretty sure this is even less loyal to the canon design than riddle's was lmaoo

as per usual, notes under the cut ^^

where do i even start lolol

first, i really ramped up the vague religious imagery from the in-game design into literally turning vil into an angel. so. the wings aren't something he usually has, and they leave pretty gnarly blot scars on his back. the halo doesn't leave a mark but we can imagine that the migraines come from it or something. also the. his train is a pun. because peacock feathers have the "eye" at the end of them. and angels have obscene amounts of eyes. so the. the "eyes" are eyes. i'm a genius. (the crown also has eyes. every eye not in his face can also move around and see things. i just want to to know that.)

the blot turned her fingers into talons and are coated in something that looks like gold, so it's probably not smart to get within arm's reach. if you don't want to get yoinked. (i know someone who'd want to be yoinked by vil...)

the bodice is inspired by a dress made by frieda lepold, since it reminded me of a cathedral and my favorite ship is vil schoenheit x religious imagery. i kept the slit in the skirt and the collar from in-game though! and kept the general color scheme! i just added another layer underneath (because i didn't want to design shoes for her cough cough but uhhh use your imagination idk)

the hair comb! this was an immediate yes for me, due to the poisoned hair comb that the evil queen gave to snow white in the original story (along with the tightlaced corset, it sucks that those two weren't in disney's movie).

her blot weapon of choice is a fan! it was an idea i came up with pretty quickly. he uses it to fan airborne poison towards the others, but the sticks and guards (the "bones" of the fan) are super sharp. perfect for stabbing!

i kept the general design of the main blot makeup, but instead of the drippy blot tears under her right eye, i made it look like running mascara under both, y'know, for the symbolism. and the vibes. also black lips from the blot because gotta be fabulous (that's something that applies to all of them though dw dw they all get to be fab)

also enjoy the little rook doodle (he is a fox beastman. to me. #myfoxboy) he is Very Normal about vil, as per usual. beauté!

riddle's ob redesign 🥀
