I'm pretty reserved so let me have a few interactions with you so I can gauge the appropriate amount of energy to return back!
Do note that this is a secondary blog, so some interactions are from another account that I wish to keep lowkey because it's CRINGE
Yea... 🧍♂️
If you have taken the time to read all that, I thank you for the bottom of my epel-filled heart! Enjoy your time here!
you HAVE to be the reason I can't find any Epel merch /positive
( literally like I can not find any Epel plushies or can badge they are always sold out online )
ALSO I LOVE YOUR ART !! THE EPELINGS ARE EATING GOOD AND THE EPELS ARE VERY GORGEOUS AND FUNNY AND NICE AND APPRECIATED /YAY
also your OC is peak
NO WAYYY
YOU HAVE TO GET A FLIGHT TO JP ASAP MY FRIEND
Everytime a friend goes to lashibang there the twst section is FILLLEED with cheap epels no one wants 🥹🥹🥹☝️☝️ like some of the older nuis are 2-5 dollars each. 2 DOLLARS. ISNT THAT CRAZY...!!! I go a little insane and ask for an army.. 🥹
I would say for event nuis like harveston, blazing jewels, masterchef you should definitely preorder them as they seem to be scarily expensive after they are released on pages like mercari.. like a 25 dollar preorder can reach 70 dollars after its release ISNT THAT CRAZYY...
Thank you for the kind words 🥹🥹🥹 I hope you get your epels!!!! I REALLY HOPE U DO... all those lost epels.. deserve a home 🥹🥹🥹
I just stumbled across your page and your style is to die for!!! I love your Epels you capture his cuteness so well…(don’t tell him I said that)
Question: I’m a bit new to the oshi/yume space, and I’m wondering if you’d call yourself an Epel yume, or is it called an Epel Oshi?? Or something else entirely! Thank you 🙇♀️
Aww thankuu 🥺🥺 (I will keep you safe from his wrath)
Would say I'm more of an epel oshi!! I stan him and see a lot of myself in him.
Im not much of a yume for epel, I guess I see myself more like his parent(???? Lol) he makes me very. Maternal 🥹☝️(some ppl say not all yumes are romantic, like there are platonic ones, sibling ones and parents ones but I'm not sure if i would label myself tht, oshi def suits me more)
Tho I LOVEEE yume stuff I enjoy consuming epel yume works by other ppl, like a parent-in law loving their kids partners more than their kids if u get what i mean ???
Deets: I was so inspired by @waterthatsmoe's Twisted Wonderland OC, Damon Belladonna, that I wrote up a small piece about him and Epel. I think that dynamic is hilarious. Waterthatsmoe designed him to be Epel's exact opposite, so I did my best to emulate that concept in my writing. Thank you again for letting me write about your OC! All credit for Damon goes to waterthatsmoe, and you should check out their other works!
Also I absolutely copped some of Epel's dialogue from this golden post.
Summary: Epel makes a new friend with someone who isn't quite what they seem.. He seems to think they're incredibly alike. They couldn't be more different.
Content Warning: Uses @waterthatsmoe's original character (Damon Belladonna, based on Dawn Bellwether from Zootopia). Epel cusses. Lmfaooo
-----
Epel wasn't usually one for listening to people gossip. His grandma always said 'Wagging tongues make for idle hands', and coming to Night Raven College only showed him how true that could be. The amount of times that he'd been hearing people go on about something that didn't seem like any of their business was too many. It always coincided with people dropping the ball on something important, too.
Still.. He can't help but to find himself sucked in when he overhears; "Yeah, I have no idea how that guy ended up in Savanaclaw. He reminds me of those cutesie Pomefiore guys-"
"HAHA! Yeah, or one of those scared little bunnies in Heartslabyul."
"God, yeah, what was the mirror thinking sending him to Savanaclaw? I hear he's been crying and begging to be sent to Pomefiore, but Leona won't let him. I think they just like torturing him over there."
"Couldn't he just appeal to one of the faculty or something?"
"He could probably ask the school's-" The student's thought is cut off as their cauldron begins bubbling over and the two begin panicking as professor Crewel makes his way over in annoyance.
Epel can't help but to think the overflow was inevitable with how much talking they were doing, and goes back to his own work, but he is curious about this guy they're all talking about. Who could get sorted into Savanaclaw despite being called 'Cutesie'..?
---
It isn't until he gets to lunch that he finally gets to see the guy; Meek-looking with soft, blonde hair that ruffles around two ram-like horns, and two sheep-like ears that delicately droop to frame around his face. He has a bell around his neck that delicately jingles with every step. He'd have assumed this guy was a girl if he didn't know any better.
And yet, clear as day, the guy appears to be wearing a Savanaclaw uniform under his large, baggy white cardigan.
He couldn't look anymore like a helpless little lamb even if he tried, and yet those ever-elusive yellow and black colors don't lie. This has to be the guy those two were talking about. Even Epel finds himself unable to describe this guy as anything other than 'adorable', even though he's tall enough to rival Vargas.
The soft-looking sheep heads out of the cafeteria, and Epel can't help but to peel away to go talk to him. He wants to know more about this guy.
---
Damon walks through the cafeteria - He can't stand being around people from his own dorm, and keeping up the 'meek and soft' shtick was annoying in his downtime. Besides, he still needs to figure out a way to get out of Savanaclaw.
Getting sorted into that dorm was the worst possible outcome of the student orientation ceremony. His blood boiled with the idea of having to hang around a bunch of snarling predatorial brutes. How dare the mirror sort him in with the kinds of people he hated the most? Was it trying to say something about him? It was like the school itself was mocking him.
He just wants a moment to himself as he heads out of the cafeteria. His earlier attempt to plead to Leona didn't work. The lion was sharper than he looked. Damon had no idea that someone like that was keeping tabs on him, and it seemed he had racked up quite a reputation for himself in the first week.
It wasn't his fault that they brought the worst out of him. The way they taunted him, he had to show them he wasn't just some meek little thing that they could push around. And once he started throwing hands.. well.. It wasn't his fault that he couldn't stop. Afterall, sheep aren't built for fighting.
Damon sits himself down under a tree with his lunch. He starts looking over his notes as he thinks, only for a pair of plaid boots to appear in front of him. He looks up to see Epel standing over him, beaming. Immediately, his eyes catch on Epel's dorm uniform.
Pomefiore - Now there's a dorm he belongs in. They're refined. They judge by the merit of one's studies, and focus on sharpening the mind. Plus, they know potions.
Epel, smiling, moves to sit near Damon with his own lunch. He knows how much he hates being called cute things, so he figures he'll open with a line that'll show how highly he thinks of this person; "Wow, you're like a wolf in sheep's clothing, huh?"
The anger that fills every fiber of Damon's being can be seen clearly as it emblazens across his eyes, the smile on his lips the only place untouched by it. ".. Why would you call me that?"
Epel hasn't yet caught on that Damon is angry, but he's suddenly very aware that his comment could be considered insensitive as Damon is clearly a sheep beastman. In his excited fluster, he begins explaining, his natural accent bleeding through a little; "Well, you're just so cool! Not that sheep aren't cool! I think they're awesome- I guess what I'm gettin' at is that you look like someone people would easily underestimate, y'know?" He grins sheepishly, but also a little proudly, hoping that his explanation smooths things over.
Every word out of his mouth makes Damon want to commit acts of violence. Is this guy picking a fight with him? The sheep's eyes are glossed over with emotional indifference as he tries to assess the situation, looking Epel over. No.. The look in this guy's eyes is too genuine. "… What did you say your name was?"
"Epel Felmier! It's nice to meet you!" Epel grins big, his accent getting buried again as he feels less flustered. "What's your name?"
Damon recognizes an opportunity when he sees one. The emotional indifference in his face is replaced by a warm, friendly smile; "Damon Belladonna."
"I heard you were looking to join Pomefiore, but I gotta ask, why?" The question has been nagging at Epel ever since he overheard it.
"Ahh…" Damon looks off to the side, putting on his best pitifully cute expression. ".. I don't really fit in there." He's careful not to diss the students there, since it seems like Epel likes wolves. He needs to learn more information before he can really share his true motivations. ".. Besides, Pomfiore is known for being a really good dorm for potion-making, and I really want to learn more.."
Epel thinks on it for a moment - Is Damon being bullied for looking feminine and soft? Well, he can't let this guy think that! He needs to know that he looks just as badass as all the other guys. "Why do you think you don't fit in with Savanaclaw? I think that uniform looks perfect on you! I wish I could be in Savanaclaw.. Everyone over there is so cool.."
Damon's eye twitches as Epel describes him as looking 'perfect' in the Savanaclaw uniform and praises the dorm he hates so deeply. This is confirmation that he can't let his hatred slip through if he wants to make use of Epel.
Epel continues though; "But you're right - They're more equipped for learning spelldrive. Pomefiore has special in-dorm facilities for potion-making and alchemy. Hey, do you ever wanna come on over to use them?"
The offer causes all irritation to dissipate from Damon's body as it is quickly overtaken with a chance of an opportunity he can seize. ".. Could I?"
"Absolutely! Though, Vil's really strict about potion ingredients. We'll have to go by the school's botanical garden to get the things you want to use. Only Pomefiore students can use Pomefiore's gardens for ingredients."
That warm, friendly smile is back. ".. Yes, I think I would like that very much." Epel seems to be exactly what Damon's been looking for. He's the perfect chance to get his foot into the Pomefiore dorm. Surely, if he can catch Vil's eye, he'll be able to convince the other housewarden to help him out, right?
Epel is enthusiastic. He giggles excitedly, which attracts the attention of someone nearby..
A Savanaclaw student. The student's walking away from the cafeteria, and he scoffs seeing Epel sitting on the grass and giggling. Damon's body is mostly out of view, behind the tree. "What, havin' a picnic, Princess?"
Epel's head snaps towards the source of the insult, and he is pissed. His natural accent is in full swing as he shouts; "WHO THE FUCK YOU CALLIN' PRINCESS?!"
The shift, the loudness, and the pure unadulterated rage initially startles Damon, but then he grins, suddenly very curious about this reaction and he pokes his head around the tree to look at the person who brought out that kind of fire in his new 'friend'. Upon seeing that it's a Savanaclaw student, his eyes can't help but to betray his hatred, even though the grin stays upon his lips.
The Savanaclaw student initially starts laughing at Epel's anger - It was funny! Like a chihuahua barking! But then Damon's head comes into frame just behind Epel and a shiver runs through the Savanaclaw student's entire body as he sees the violence dancing on the sheep's eyes. This startles him enough to straighten up.
Are those two friends..?
Epel starts tearing off his jacket and tossing it onto the grass as he starts getting up to go make this physical. What he doesn't see is the menacing aura of violence radiating from Damon behind him.
The Savanaclaw student, having seen what Damon was capable of back at the dorm, immediately backpedals. "… Uh, N-nevermind. Did I say princess? Hahahh…" He averts his eyes and pretends to see someone in the distance. "Oh hey, man!" He calls out to no one, running off to escape what he's pretty sure will be a rearrangement of his spine.
Epel shouts after him; "YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, RUN AWAY! I DON'T WANNA SEE YER FACE AGAIN!" He's still seething in frustration for a moment, but it feels really good to scare someone rude like that. Normally, he has to punch someone before they recognize his strength. He turns back to grin excitedly to Damon. "Don't let guys like that push you around. If I can make 'em run, so can you!"
Damon is extremely pleased that Epel is dense enough not to notice who the Savanaclaw student was actually scared of. He smirks warmly; ".. You'll have to teach me sometime."
Yes, this is definitely the start of a beautiful friendship.
Just. A small.. psa..!! If your ask.. hasnt been answered.. theres a VERYVERYYYYYY high chance I want to reply with a drawing 🤣 and I just dont have the time to right now 🥺✋️
I love your character designs, and am very inspired by Damon! Would you mind if I were to write a short fanfic involving your character? I'd make sure everyone knows he's yours, and thoroughly link it so people can find you and your work!
Omg.. sure!! Im so grateful you enjoy him so much 🥹🥹 Do send me the link so i can read it too..!!! I love fanfics so much.. I'm alw digging into OC fics in my free time.. they are one crutch in this sad sad times..(school)
Everytime people talk about how much they love Damon.. im like wow...
This little shit.. is so loved..
I have received a few fanworks of him and i feel terrible that I hvn't continued much for him due to my heavy workload in school 🥹🤝 (im in an engineering course and it SUCKKKKKKKKS MY SOULLL)
god i love the contrast between damon’s looks and personality!!!!! it’s so cute!????!
is he a yandere/yangire of sorts?
We all love little shits in this household 😤
I wouldn't say hes a yandere, yangire fits him more! (I had to google that and wow, I must be getting old because I never seen that word before in all my years 🤣)
He's extremely twofaced because he cares about his image amongst non carnivores a lot.
He doesn't really give a rats ass about what carnivores think because of prior prejudice + childhood bullying from them. Any polite, innocent front he puts up for them is just to gain advantages for himself. When he knows theyre useless to him, he just beats them up to relieve some stress from having to be with other dumb NRC students.
I would maybe one day expand more on the beating up people lore when im free from my studies...
(I saw ur next ask about the colourscheme tooo!! Thankyouu!! I just really love soft blonds and pink, they give off such little prince vibes which is great for Damon's looks🤣)
Sheep guy does not belong to me he belongs to @waterthatsmoe
Slight tw for the comic on the right:
Implied child neglect.
I tried giving Damon the blankest face I could draw when he's reacting to Trick's trauma cause idk how he'd actually react.
I apologize if I might've accidentally mischaracterize Damon. 😅😅
Oh ya also Trick already had a small crush on Damon before this convo, it's just that she was distracted by the candy. She eventually remembers via the head pat 👍
★☆ • • • ★☆ • • • ★☆ • • • ★☆
Since Trick is besties with Ruggie, once he finds out about her developing crush he'll probably insist she finds someone better.
Then he finds out the only reason Trick fell for Damon in the first place is cause he's the only NRC student Trick has had 0 bad experiences with. Eh probably not for long though....

Yes, the bar is so low it's lower than whatever below hell is.
