The maggots are participating in strange evening activities

Sorry if this week’s post was a bit too freaky, something possessed me again

So, context to what’s happening: uhh Peri and Dale are ummm doing something and err they don’t want to get caught and stuff… or, well at least Dale doesn’t want to. Poor dude always has that terrified and tired look in his eyes when I draw him

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but like my vision of their relationship is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE to what I've seen most people imagine. Like I have not seen ANYBODY make them be like "I will fix him and it's actually working +it's kinda wholesome" (okay, well actually it's a bit more complicated than that, but still). Though that could probably be because I'm the only one with a lethal amount of microplastics in their body /j

Still, I hope that at least some of you can fw it (considering my follower count has risen from 30 to 50 in a matter of a few months, maybe you do care. Or then you're just here for the art/AU/something else and the ship is just something you'll have to deal with lmao, that would be hella funny)

Also here's some extra art. I absolutely love drawing in my chibi style, they look so stupid adorable

Peri really found himself a tall half-Russian bisexual bottom billionaire with internalized homophobia. Good for him

(Yeah, that’s right, Peri's a TOP!!! Probably weren’t expecting THAT!)

(The headcanon inbreeding has gone too far)

-------------------------------------------------------

I’m having trouble with my art style again! I mean the current style looks nice. It’s got the roughness and the edge I’m looking for, but it still lacks a certain softness. All the artists I’ve gotten inspiration from paint traditionally, so trying to recreate the same vibe is difficult when all the digital brushes feel too… digital, and fake

I’m currently in a weird transition phase where my art, especially my rendering style, isn’t consistent. Maybe I’ll figure something out. We’ll see. In the meantime, don't be surprised if my style changes a bit with each post lol

If you ever wonder why it takes me so long to post: it’s because of these long ass descriptions lol. I know most, if not all, will skip them, but I still like to add them for my sake. It’s also great English practice!

Also guess whose silly ass got sick right before Christmas. Mine did! Oh yeah, Merry Christmas or happy Holidays or whatever you’re celebrating or not celebrating btw 😍

MOE (Missionarirs of Eden) AU Peri and Irep in a nutshell

I know I said I would draw more ship art BUT the AU just got a HUGE update* and I had to make something silly related to it

Peri is giving big Steven Universe energy in this one. Peace and love on the planet Earth, am I right

Also hey, look at that! First look at what my AU Irep looks like! (If we don't count the outdated drawings I made)

*So, what's the update?

Note: fairies are called angels and anti-fairies are called demons, if you still didn't know. Both of them are called "children of God"

As you could probably guess from the image, the updated lore has to do with the children of God (angels and demons) wanting to cleanse the Earth from what they qualify as sin**. They just have different ideas about how it should be done.

The angels believe that life should be preserved, but that they have a right to intervene so that sin that comes from it can be minimized. Especially difficult are humans, who not only destroy others and their environment greatly, but also themselves (among many other things), giving them the highest sin rate of any species. To combat this, the godparenting programme was initiated***.

The demons have a more neutral reception towards life, but since the angels have power over the universe and them, they have mutually agreed on following their command. This means that their mission is also to purify the Earth from as much sin as possible, though they are not as devoted as the angels are and instead they want to kill and eat those causing the most harm. This is due to the fact that the demons can't get energy from their God**** and they have to rely on external sources, like suns, planets and living beings (whose flesh many have come to love).

To create balance between the two sides, the scribes (a.k.a. the pixies. Yes, they're back and I renamed them again) were created to keep track of the amount of sin on Earth, more specifically the amount each species create. As long as the total is under a certain limit, the demons are not allowed to kill any of the members of that species (though they do hunt creatures, including humans, from time to time).

Explanations:

** There is no definite answer to what counts as sin, and the angels' criteria comes purely from what they think their God deems bad (demons follow the same guidelines). These include things such as change and disruption of the natural order, greed, for social species: engaging in antisocial behaviour, etc. Children of God can also sin by breaking their law or forming a relationship with a child of Eden (a.k.a. any biological being, *cough cough*... I'm looking at you, Peri) including other things.

Note: some actiong may cause more sin than others

*** The godparenting programme includes taking care of children ages 4 to 18. They target those who have a medium to a high risk of creating sin as an adult, but who also have a high chance of not sinning if they're helped. This results in the overall sin rate to hopefully shrink with each generation.

**** The angels' God works like a giant battery that provides the angels with a constant flow of energy, while the demons' God works the opposite. In essence, the angels and demons work as gateways for energy to pass through from one side to the other.

Once the angels' God has used up all its energy, the angels will die and when all the energy (including matter) from the universe gets consumed by the demons, they die too. Once all the energy has been collected to the other God, it will create a new universe for the energy to pass through again. This cycle will go on forever, though that isn't too relevant to the plot of the AU, since the children of God are not even aware of this cycle.

TLDR:

The angels (fairies) want to get rid of sin by helping, while the demons (anti-fairies) want to get rid of it by killing and eating them. Since they don't want to fight, they created the scribes (pixies) to keep count of the amount of sin on Earth. They agreed that as long as there isn't too much sin, the demons are not allowed to kill anybody.

-------------------------------------------------------

This is what living in isolation from the rest of the fandom does to a mf

I shortened the name of the AU to now be "MOE" for simplicity

Uhhgggghhhhhg it feels sooo good now that I've finally started explaining the AU hghhh. There are still many things I didn't touch on, but I didn't want to overwhelm you too much

[ageravena]

We made some Cosmo soap and Wanda bioplastic today in chemistry class lmao

Or alternatively they got squished and turned into goo. Rest in pieces

Gosh I love chemisty❤️

[ageravena]

"You seem cold"

I'm not normal about them

YES! The cutiepies have returned after the short break I took to post about my AU. I promise I'll draw them more moving forward, somebody has to feed the hungry shippers after all (please tell me that there's at least SOMEBODY else other than me drawing healthy Peridale art semi-consistently 😭)

*ring ring*

Wait. Who is this? Wait what!? THERE'S ANOTHER PERIDALE RELATED TAG HERE ON TUMBLR?? AND IT'S FILLED WITH MORE ART???? AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT!!?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT SURE IF IT'S MORE POPULAR

Wait, does this mean that... there's a chance I'm not the number one Peridalre blog?

....

I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that. I love being delusional ❤️

Some quick things / more headcanons I guess:

I know I don't draw Dale wearing his usual outfit, but there's a reason! I decided that whenever he wants to show off he'll sport his usual style, but when he's at home and doesn't feel like socializing, he'll change to that. Maybe you'll get to see his uglyass boots one day

I also changed Dale's appearance a bit by giving him freckles that he hides anyway because he thinks it makes him look childish (same with the curly hair)

Peri received a middle part (semi-accidentally). I was struggling for the longest time to make his hair look believable, so this is what I came up with. You might even see from my previous artworks how his hair changes over time lol

-------------------------------------------------------

Is it just me or, whenever I draw people, do they lowkey look animal-like? I can't explain it, but it feels like as if there's something there... idk, it might just be my furry genes

Here's a game for you: count the times my art style has changed in the past 3 months. You should get an answer higher than 5

Xiao hong shu!!

[ageravena]

I'm actually tweaking again

You know the AU I've been working on for the past few months? I realized that I have to rewrite like EVERYTHING that happened in the original series because of all the small changes in my version. To be honest it shouldn't technically matter what happens exactly before season 1 (of FOP:NW) since the AU mostly revolves around after those events, but having the past figured out could help a lot

So yeah, more "coming up with seemingly random plotlines that have nothing to do with the source material, diverging it more and more with each passing moment" for me <3 (the AU is filled with those)

Hhhh what is with me never being satisfied with the original media and insisting on creating these overly complicated alternative versions of it. It's like an endless circle of unintentionally torturing myself because I like to be creative lmao. LIKE THIS IS A CHILDREN'S SHOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. WHY AM I TRYING TO MAKE IT SERIOUS 😭😭 I'm sobbing

Though, I suppose I wouldn't be making them if I didn't enjoy it

Anyway. I will probably update you if I come up with something, though we'll see

Btw we just hit 40 followers! Thank you all <33

[ageravena]

After deciding to change the angels' (fairies) designs for what I hope is the last time (I've redesigned them like 6 times now HELP), allow me to introduce you:

Biblically accurate (Missionaries of Eden AU) Peri

So yeah! He got a new look (though his human form still stays the same)

Since I somehow managed to make my Peri look even less like his original counterpart, allow me to explain some of my design choices:

Probably the most notable thing about all my depictions of angel Peri and gang is that they're often quite unclothed. This is due to their belief that God (yes, they exist in the AU) had given their bodies as a gift, and thus it would be disrespectful to cover it. At the same time though, since they've concentrated their aid towards humans, they understand that they can't be completely naked

The head is their soul*, which resembles a flame (flames are sometimes used symbolically to represent souls)

The large feathers on the back ("tail") are meant to resemble a peacock's tail when closed (I had originally planned the angels to have more features that resemble real life birds)

The six wings and eyes on them indicate that he's a cherubim (seraphims have eight wings and thrones don't have eyes on theirs)

I will most likely make a separate post where I go more into detail about everything I've come up with for these little critters (trust me, there's a LOT of stuff)

Instead of wands, angels have their stars floating on top of them. Peri's star is inside a bubble similar to what he has in the show

The feet are a bit of a mystery to me still. I kind of like the look of them just having those stumps (there is no deeper meaning to it)

*in this context the soul of an angel/demon is the part where they're connected physically to God in the higher dimension (it might be a bit hard to understand, so I probably need to explain it in further detail later)

I was originally supposed to show Cosmo and Wanda's redesigns aswell, but since I'm currently a bit busy with irl stuff, I wasn't able to finish the sketches for this post (they're coming later, I promise). The demons (anti-fairies) were also redesigned!

-------------------------------------------------------

May I quickly say how happy I honestly am of you. Since almost all my mutuals are elsewhere, I didn't really expect many people to come look at whatever I've posted, but it seems that I've managed to find my people anyway! So thank you all for all the likes, comments, reblogs and follows <33 I get so excited every time I get a new notification, teehee! (I read everything you have to say. Even if it's in another language)

I promise higher quality art will be coming in the future INCLUDING SHIP ART! Oh my goodness I have not drawn Peridale art in such a long time, I miss them SO MUCH!!!! GAHH I won't be able to call myself the number one Peridale blog soon bruh

MY FRIEND STARTED WATCHING FOP:NW GHHRRAAAAAAAA‼️‼️

Also I found out there's a Finnish dub on Netflix and I'm kinda scared lmao. Finnish is a language that is hard to make sound natural, and from what I heard from my friend, the dub is not great (not like I expected it to be)

I still wanna hear it tho...

[ageravena]

GUYS. I JUST THOUGHT OF THE CRAZIEST THING EVER (again). WHAT IF IN AN ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE VICKY WAS DEV'S BIOLOGICAL MOM!

(I don't know if this is something worth warning about, but I superficially talk about domestic abuse in my ramblings. So just a heads up if you don't like reading about fictitious violence)

OKAY OKAY OKAY, HEAR ME OUT ON THIS ONE!!! So I've had a headcanon that Dale is a victim of domestic abuse and that's why he's hesitant to get close to anybody +other things that are also a result of it (I've said this multiple times now: there is NO way he's mentally stable in the canon). We also don't know who Dale had a child with, so I just always imagined it was just some random psychopathic woman, maybe a previous manager or something. But then, like a week ago, I realized how well Vicky would fit into the role of the abuser.

I mean think about it. After Dale "quit" from making lemonade, Vicky was probably pretty mad to see someone she saw inferior to her get all the fame and fortune (this is what we also see in the show). So what if she somehow, after many years of being incredibly salty, got in contact with him, gaslit him into thinking she wasn't as bad as he remembered, manipulated him into getting married (to make sure she gets to inherit his estate when he dies (spoilers! Kinda)) and without his full will had a child (for whatever benefits she might get from that). And then after that she would attempt to murder him to finish her scheme, only for him to survive. After that she probably either gets imprisoned or manages to make herself look like a victim too or something. Considering her track record of never getting punished for her actions, it's probably the latter.

(I know she doesn't HAVE to try to kill him at the end, but it fits the narrative I've built. Also sorry if this got a bit dark, you'll just have to get used to it)

I know all of this wouldn't be possible in the canon, but I still kinda like the idea. It integrates Vicky into the story quite well while also giving her some more depth. This is absolutely going into my AU btw. I'm not sure if somebody has thought of this before me. Maybe one has, who knows.

So uhh yeah. What do y'all think? 😍

[ageravena]

So, funny story: I had a dream last night where I was pregnant for some unknown reason (kinda weird), and it made me think, what if Dale and Peri had a child together along with already having Dev. Pretty cute imo. One problem though, Peri (according to my headcanon) is trans (FTM. Fairy biology still implies) and Dale is a cis man, so neither of them could give birth.

Then I remembered the existence of magic, so perhaps with the help of that, Peri could get pregnant and then have the child and all would be great. Yippee! But then, from the deep crevices of my mind, a much crazier idea crept up…

What if Dale was the one carrying the child?

This lead, unsurprisingly, to a mini war in my head. On one hand it's unexpected and I think it would be interesting to imagine how the characters would react (also imaging Dale voulnerable is one of my favorite things). But then on the other hand I'm incredibly self-aware of how diabolical this sounds and it's making me cringe.

Here's a visual depiction of my mind rn:

I've let these characters marinate in my head for far too long. They’ve become soft and severely Agerfied*. I have to keep reminding myself of what they're like canonically

*Agerfication is the process where a character starts to morph to my liking, a common occurrence

But hey, food for thought I guess, plus now you're also forced to think about it. You're welcome <3

[ageravena]

Omg! Ager drew something other than Peri or Dale! Let's take a look, shall we

Wow! It's Irep 😍 what a cutiepie (I finally discovered the beauty of scanning. The images are so high quality I'm crying)

You wanna hear something funny though: the design on the right is OUTDATED (typical me-thing). 5 minutes after I drew it I decided that he will not have bat wings. I was thinking I would replace them with either "chicken wing daggers" or "bird feet w/sharp claws" (I made a poll on my story on Instagram and I think people like the chicken wings more). Also I might give him regular hands like what I did on the left

There's also some updates to the AU I've made, but I don't have time to explain today. I really need to make a synopsis post on everything I've planned for the AU, but you'll have to wait at least a week probably (exam week is aproaching❤️)

[ageravena]

Crying and shitting rn. I've been looking for MONTHS for a good Peridale fanfic on Ao3 (since that's the only place I've been able to find them) and all of them, or at least 90%, are toxic yaoi. I can understand why, but as an avid fluff enjoyer, I can't take it anymore. I've only been able to find TWO fics (though after a bit of searching it might change into four) that I've liked, and one of them isn't even supposed to be a ship fic (the two fics are "Near Devine" by Drainingneptune, which originally sparked the idea to ship the two characters (I'm still waiting patiently for chapter 8), and Charms by an anonymous writer. The 2 others I have not read yet)

I would love to write a fanfic myself, but idk if it would be good, especially since English isn't my first language, and more importantly: would I have the patience and willpower to write that much. I've also thought of making comics, but we'll see if I ever manage to go forward from the sketching phase

The only thing currently feeding my never ending hunger are the fake scenarios I keep coming up with in my head. It's sad, it's bleak, but somehow I'm still powering forward

[ageravena]

So, I attempted to draw in the Fairly OddParents art style...

... and I drew myself as a fairy <3! My wery own fairy-sona!

I also drew a couple of more sketches. It was so fun to not have to worry so much about anatomical details and whatnot, though I did struggle to keep the heads unnaturally large

I was kinda thinking that if I actually were to be in the show, I would probably not be allowed to have the shotgun-wand. Not like I'm allowed to have one in real life either

And then I also drew my little EGOs (my alter egos/sonas)

From left to right:

Ager (also known as Ager Avena. Hey! That's my username!)

Verinahka (translates to dermis. Literal translation: "blood leather")

Tähti Wolfox (also known as Star or Star the Wolfox. That was the name of my old YouTube channel where I used to post animation memes and speedpaints)

I really wanna yap about them, but maybe I'll do that on Instagram instead.

I still haven't perfected the style and I doubt I ever will (plus I'm NOT getting rid of the goat-eyes, they're a staple of my style). This was just a fun little exercise for me

[ageravena]

This is how I imagine everybody in the fandom reacting every time they see my (or honestly anybody else's) Peridale ship art:

BUT in my defense, I have very good reasons for shipping them! THEY HAVE LORE. THEIR DYNAMIC IS IMPORTANT TO THE PLOT I'VE CREATED IN MY HEAD! THEY WILL GROW AND CHANGE AS PEOPLE TOGETHER!! GRRAAAAAAAAGHHH!!!!!

[ageravena]

I redesigned Cosmo and Wanda for my FOP: Missionaries of Eden AU

Greetings ladies with gentle hands. I'm back with another batch of epic art now that I'm finally able to draw something other than the same two characters over and over again (read more at the end)

Just so you know, these were just quick sketches I made when I was supposed to sleep and these might not be their final designs.

Here's Cosmo:

Out of the two, Cosmo probably changed the most.

I tried to incorporate elements of his original design into the new one, like his tie, sleeves and umm... his hair? The hair-strands are supposed to be like flames coming out of his inner core (the weird ball I drew next to him that has an arrow pointing at the floating onion rings), if you understand what I'm trying to say.

I originally made him a twink until I remembered that he gave birth that one time. I suppose people can get back into shape after such an event, though I like this version of him better (plus it's show accurate!)

I know real thrones (types of angels) don’t have wings but he looked kinda silly without them. Also the wings make him have a star-shaped silhouette which I think is cute.

Also instead of a wand he has a staff

And then here's Wanda:

Maybe, since now that she has a sword instead of a wand, she should be called Sworda!... please never call her that.

It was a bit harder to incorporate original design elements into this one, so I mostly just went with what seemed fitting.

She also turned into a girlboss. Not that she wasn't already! I just thought it would make sense for her to be physically strong considering she's a power (type of angel).

Her wings also look like a sword... kinda. Her wand is also a sword now!

I didn't feel like drawing her face. It's always a struggle for me to come up with them since my art style is semi-realistic and all. Pick your battles as they say.

I also created some sigils 3 months ago

As per usual, all the mystical creatures in my AU have their own sigils for summoning purposes (inspired by real demon sigils. Look them up, they're super cool). That's why I created a bunch of them for a few important +a few miscellaneous characters, and only now did I realize that I had never posted them anywhere, so here you go:

I'll probably tweak some of these (especially Wanda's and Anti-Wanda's sigils). I'll most likely make more of these since now the vespids (pixies) have kinda important roles, too.

Btw they aren't symmetrical or anything. I just quickly sketched them on MS Paint lmao. Also the light grey lines are just guides and not actually a part of the design.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

(I tried to make a divider. Idk what it will look like on other devices)

Quick behind the scenes update: After three months of screaming in agony (or five if you include my two previous fixations), I have finally been freed from the chains of being way too obsessed with certain characters without my will... *cough cough*.

Though this might seem sad, worry not, for I persist by literally not caring about what my brain says. I believe it is my duty to continue this legacy I have created and continue drawing wholesome Peri x Dale ship art (+ AU stuff). It is what the fandom really needs during these trying times!

Anyway. Until next time, losertown!

[ageravena]

I remembered I have free will and can draw anything I want

Been giggling at this for a while. I love My Summer Car, I wish Finland was real

Syökää, rakkaat lapseni

Me, the artist, is from Finland if you couldn't tell. I love spreading Finnish propaganda ❤️ and also Peri x Dale propaganda

[ageravena]

Silly thing I made. Perhaps now that I'm motivated you'll see more of these quick watercolor doodles

If anybody says Dale doesn't deserve this, just remember that I've been torturing him in my head from the moment he peaked my interest. I feel like after everything I've put him through he deserves a break (this, once again for those unaware, is AU related stuff. I'll do an in-depth explanation of it soon)

But whatever, feast my scarabs

[ageravena]

Look, silly ship art again :P

Their noses are touching! ^_^ aren't they just so cute GRRSSHHHRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH RRRRRRGHHHGHRRRAAASRRRSAHHHHHHHHHHHGGGHHHHHHH HHH

Also since Peri is 20cm shorter than Dale, he had to use a step stool lol GGHTRRRRRAAAAHHHHGGRRSAAAAAA (his balance is kinda bad I hope he doesn't fall)

Here's some other sketches I made. I wasn't sure if to add these but I believe you deserve to see them:

Angel Peri!! I don't think I ever showed his true (AU) form to you (at least here on Tumblr). I love the short 130cm-tall king <3 (though note that he's taller in his human form)

And our lovely depressed and suspiciously Russian-looking Dale! I swear he looks increasingly more dead inside every time I draw him, though it does kinda make sense. I always got a feeling that in the series he often wasn't actually happy and just pretended to be to seem more confident. No self-assured and sane person obsesses over their company's success so much as to completely abandon their family and friends.

Perhaps he doesn't value himself, thinking he will never be as great as his father, who by the way didn't even care to go look for him when he was missing all those years ago (or maybe he did, but his reaction didn't tell that). Dale probably never got the reassurance and support he needed, so now he tries to seek validation through his business. But that's just my headcanon/interpretation.

Oops, I got a bit side tracked there. Where was I again? Ah! Yes, gay people

No extra Tumblr exclusive art this time, sorry. Though I do have some crazy updates!

‼️UPDATE ON SHIP ESSAY‼️I have started writing my essay explaining Peri x Dale and it's about half done. I might split the post in two; one post where I talk about more canon/fanon stuff and another where I delve into my own headcanons (trust me. There's a LOT of lore between them that I've created)

‼️ANOTHER AU LORE UPDATE‼️ I have finally decided that the pixies in my Missionaries of Eden AU are called "vespids" and they resemble wasps/bees. Every demon/angel has a vespid counterpart (similarly to how fairies have their anti-fairy counterparts). And yes I will most likely also create another post explaining everything.

So if there's still some Dari (that's the ship name I came up with) shippers out there, don't worry. You will not run out of content anytime soon! (I have a sneaking suspicion I might be a bit late to the party. Nobody's been active in a while, at least from what I've seen)
