#Chickpea the Fake Peppino

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

My brain is just imagining Eglantine somehow yeeting chickpea

(Eg might not be able to yeet Chickpea, like she did with Peppino or Pancetta, but she can do this;

More of a flip than a yeet, but still, hehe)

See Him Hamshape... (reference)

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

show us the horrors

who’s the most monstrous clone oc (if you’re comfortable with sharing it)

(All clones are capable of being scary, but some are a little scary all the time!!! Also, you implied one, but I have brought three hehe

Top right is Truffle, and she has the DNA of a Football Fish (and some other deep sea creatures). Despite all the teeth, she only eats tiny crustaceans, and she is a bit of a practical joker!!! Mostly luring in unsuspecting folks with her lure and then going BOO!!!

Top left is Rocky Road, and they are technically two clones with separate brains, despite being counted as one in the masterlist. They got some sorta bovine DNA, and they're rather skittish, as stumbling over their legs made them an easier target, but they are pretty sweet once they warm up to someone!

And then the last one, is probably more monstrous in terms of personality than appearance, but he is fuck-off huge (shout out to you anon who asked about giant clones!!!) His name is Chickpea, and he is a bad, bad boy!!! The muzzle and claw caps are not just a fashion statement, y'know!!! The collar is tho hehe

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

NOW THE CLAWS. I WANT TO SEE THEM. I DON'T CARE IF CUTS AND MAIMS ME. I WANT TO SEE THEM NOW

(Sike!!! He doesn't have claws, but you can see his beans-

SIKE AGAIN!!! 20 FOOT LONG SERRATED HARPOON CLAWS!!!!

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

*Gesturing towards Chickpea*

SHOW. US. THEM. CHOMPERS

(please)

(UNLEASH DA TEEF!!! And colour scheme, hehe

Chickpea's teeth are pretty strong! He can break through bone and metals with ease, and he could probably crunch diamonds easily too, but maybe don't feed him diamonds kjfsdk

He also has a second set of teeth right behind his main ones, which is not unusual for clones, but his are more permanent whereas other clones usually only show them during their threat displays

Regardless, he is very big and very strong, and he brought you a stick

Do you accept the stick?

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Not completely sure how to ask this but which of the clones are the tallest or the chonkiest? This is for science-

(Oh, Chickpea hands down for both! He's fucking massive, both in height and in weight, but he is a bit of an outlier, bc he was purposely made to be big

Most of the other tall clones are 6-8ft tall, and all clones are fat, but some are fatter than others

Idk what science you need this for, but I hope it helps lkfdkjfd)

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Is chickpea constantly tired or are his eyes just Like That

(A little of both!

It takes a lot of energy to maintain his size, and he is not allowed to do much besides eat and sleep, so he is often just waking up from sleeping kgjdjd

But he is also not very expressive in the face! So he just looks like that most of the time, but there are very subtle differences if you know what to look for (and also his tail/colours gives his emotions away too, so that helps hehe)

(If you can not tell, his eyelids are slightly more drooped and his ears tilted a little bit further down on the sleepy side)

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

I wanna get close to chickpea even tho i know i will get crushed like a bug... big chonky guy ;;... i just wanna give them a little pat in the hand and leave...

(You guys like Chickpea, huh?

I did say he was a bad, bad boy, but he's not actually very violent most of the time. And since pretty much everyone is so small in comparison to him, he would probably not even notice someone giving him a pat (how did you get in his room tho???)

And you could feed him, but it'd have to be able to fit through the holes in his muzzle (or be like slurpable through a straw or somethin), as he can't get it off himself (and he's already fed so much, I don't think he needs any more jdfkjf)

[smalltimidbean]

HE PAWS TOO BIG FOR HE!! (ref)

THEY SURE ARE!!!

[smalltimidbean]

First (you are here) - Next (pending)

No Major CWs here, but I do draw anons as one big blob for a few panels, bc I was not gonna draw fifty anons all at once, so potential squick, and there is use of motion blur for one panel

You asked to roll him over, so here you go:

---

Lavender: "Do you have the keys?"

Chamomile: "Yeah, I got them."

[smalltimidbean]

I was making a little reference for myself for Chickpea's colours during different emotional states, and I may have gone overboard, so here you go

The layer notes are bc usually I'd colour in Chickpea with the 'Kirby's Fucking Pissed' colours (hence that one noted with '(no white layer)') and then clip a layer of the white over top, set it to 'Add (Glow)' and then adjust opacity to a certain percent - but now I can just colour pick I guess but idk if that might look different, bc I did colour all these in the described way

We will just have to see, I guess

[smalltimidbean]

SOMEONE MAKE THE BIG BOY FEEL BETTER I CANNOT STAND SEEING HIM UPSET AAAUHGHHHH

If you mean Chickpea, after this interaction with Bruno, do not worry, he was okay after! Lavender came back, finished his check-up, and then he got his favourite snack - (very large) soft-boiled eggy

[smalltimidbean]

WHO IS CHICKEPEA I DONT THINK I'VE SEEN HIM BEFORE I WANNA SEE HIM GRAHHH /POS

Apparently I have not posted him on this blog, but you can check his tag on Pep's Blog, or his toyhouse profile

But this is him! Doctor Lavender for scale (and an out-of-context thing but shh)

[smalltimidbean]

I have a need to grab chickpea like that one image of the rat (which i hope you know which one it is) but i CAN'T bc they are TOO DAMN BIG and even if i could i would probably get MURDERED bc they are APEX PREDATOR DNA HELL and that makes me SO sad...

I feel you Anon

He could theoretically shrink down, but his ability to do so has been suppressed (so he can't escape his muzzle/claw caps/collar, which do not change size with him), and even if he did, all his mass would be packed into a hand-held package, making him incredibly dense and heavy

But despite all the predator DNA, he's not like actively violent (well, not any more), so the chances of murder are actually pretty low, unless one were to purposely antagonise him

That all being said, just for fun - hold him like rat

[smalltimidbean]

SOMEONE HELP ME GET CHICKPEA TO ROLL OVER I NEED TO GIVE THE BIG BOY BELLY RUBS RAHHHHHH

You'd need a lot of help to get Chickpea to roll over - or get Eg to flip him (but good luck getting her to do anything)

Or you can just ask him directly

[smalltimidbean]

That makes me wonder does Fake Bean and Fake Peppino hibernate?

Or do some clones tend to stay awake in the winter

I have been thinking about this all day, and I am still not sure

In theory, yes a clone could hibernate, provided they have enough food to put on enough mass, and slow their metabolisms to an absolute crawl to survive through ~three months - But in practice, probably not!

Where most of the clones are now, there's a whole lot of them in a teenie tiny space, so there is not enough food for them to bulk up enough, so they'd likely starve within a week or so, if they tried to sleep the whole time (and without resorting to cannibalism ofc)

There's also a very very small risk of them absorbing each other, if they were all cuddled together - not necessarily a death sentence for the absorbed clone(s), but it's kinda complicated kjdfkj

This is unique to Fiend, but they have to eat every ~12 hours, or they turn into their big hangry chase form, so they definitely cannot hibernate

Clones definitely get more sluggish and sleep a lot more during the cooler months, but I don't count that as hibernation, so I guess my answer is; no, they do not

(And as the artist, it would not be very fun to draw Fiend/Pep/any clone just sleeping all the time, and I wanna draw wintery things with some of them!)
