MAN. You ever got like REALLY FUCKING PASSIONATE about A Vision and you feel SO INSANE ABOUT IT and then. Hhh actually don't care. I was like FEVERISH OVER THIS. THOUGHT I WAS SOOOOOO ONTO SOMETHING. But now I just couldn't care less LMFAOOOOO
WELL. Sequence of Events:
> Attempt to find a suitable name for a potential Pokemon trainer OC, thinking of the common naming conventions (flowers/plants, colors)
> Instructions unclear made another Moe.

Loupin. I mean Loupin.
Lifted from the book I was reffing:
Lupinus - Dejection, Imagination, Voraciousness -- to comtemplate upon a wild lupinus is believed by some to present a portal to the fairy world.
Lupinus texensis - Forgiveness, Self-sacrifice, Survival. Specifc colors - Pink, Memories of those who died, Struggle to survive.
Idk the more I look at my sketches the angrier I am it just didn't come out... I don't even know. This isn't even really canon, like I've said before. If Moe stayed in the dream realm it would just be a completely different person. It would be a tragedy. I never wanted to explore it as a possibility.
But then I was just Struck. With SUUUUUCH a strong image. Of, the idea behind all the fairies, that they never had a chance to grow up. I was thinking about pixies and imps. I was thinking of a dream pixie that delivers prankish dreams. The idea, that at first glance, you really Can't tell which realm Loupin is associated with. Then it casts Wake Up and Get Ready For Work dream or You're Out In Public Butt Ass Naked Unable to Find Clothes dream or Totally Safe For Use Toilet I Promise dream. It's...... ultimately harmless...? But COME ON, MAN.
Okay but going back a minute. About the not growing up, detail. That, this version of Moe would be stuck as an eternal child. I was ESPECIALLY thinking about "ideal selves", and that Moe has never seen a future for itself. Even as a child. It could never imagine what it would even look like all grown up. And I was thinking about how each fairy Wishes for something, that's a direct response to their trauma. Ideal Self + Unable to see a future for itself + What it wishes for.
Then I had a BEAUTIFUL. INCREDIBLE VISION. Loupin is a beast unit. OF COURSE MOE'S IDEAL SELF WOULD BE A BEAST UNIT (LIKE. Baby Moe In Particular). Sharp pointy fangs and BIG HUGE CLAWS and strong legs for running and HOOVES. TO KICK AND STOMP YOU TO DEATH WITH. YOU BITCH ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️For extra flair (and speed!), its wings are more dragonfly-like. And a cute little tail............ hell, the way this is going, you don't even gotta introduce it to it/its pronouns it's probably already fucking there. Could also speak to some dehumanization experienced in a previous life but don't worry about that. There's actually plenty of things here you don't gotta worry about. Definitely don't overanalyze the fact that it could never see a future for itself that every day was just survival mode and what it wants for the Most is a way to either defend itself make itself Scary or be really fast.
Godddd okay okay but there's Something. Too. To the fact that this Moe is frozen in time, 12 at absolute oldest. I was aiming for a more androgynous look, too. But for the idealized self to remove anything that it could be sexualized for against its will. Remove everything it has to "protect", add more bells and whistles for protection.
GAAAHH MAYBE. MAYBE. THE PROBLEM. Is I just got too much shit going on LMFAOO and I ALWAYS. REALLY REALLY STRUGGLE W THE FAIRY DESIGNS. BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. I gave up on the color palette halfway LMFAOOO LIKE. This is very much a First first draft. But also, not something I feel too compelled to spend any more time on...? It is just a thought experiment, at its core. Any which way. I do love it... the Idea of Loupin.............. unfortunately if I think too hard about the ramifications of Loupin I will cry and throw up though. No world where this can be canon. SAD❗
#moe tag#moe lore#KINDA#like. for loupin to exist that means moe never returned to its family and that's gonna make me feel ill.#LITERALLY A HUGE PLOTPOINT. OF MOE'S DREAM REALM ARC. OR LIKE. THE V EMD OF IT???#is moe deciding for itself not to drink the nectar. leaving without saying goodbye to anyone there.#only thought on its mind with a smile is 'i have people who will miss me.'#and it just. entirely different flavor of gutting. when you look at moe now. ALSO MANI!!!! MANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!#THAT'S MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT NEUROTIC CUNT.#GOD it's such a beautiful and fascinating thing. my relationship to mani now. esp everything it was borne out of.#BUT MAN. MAN. the idea of loupin IS really fun. endless comedic potential. like other baby moeisms#is a deep longing for adventure. no goal in mind whatsoever. just. adventure. sonic the hedgehog style#the idea. that freyja has one feral nightmare child that just roams around at will.#GOD. EVERYONE CAN'T FUCKING STAND IT. very thin ice truce w peony (please behave yourself! >:T)#plumeria wants it to grow the fuck up SO BAD. INSUFFERABLE. (refuses to admit she would fight for it)#triandra is maybe jealous of loupin's more easygoing nightmares. if such a thing could exist.#mirabilis may be the only one who can get along w loupin without incident. until loupin creates incidents.#ALSO THE PINK LUPINS. I TRIED SO HARD NOT TO OVERLAP. BUT. the 'memory of those who died'#symbolically. this would be a death. in a way. GOES INSANE.#overlap color wise i mean. which is. really fucking difficult when all versions of moe use such warm colors.#i do really love this idea. i do i really do. but the ramifications.... the fucking rammies....#my art#loupin tag#its own tag. as a treat.
