The brave warrior learned to never underestimate an unlikely ally, even a meek young Shadowhunter. There are many kinds of might, and sometimes what you need is stealth and sharp teeth...

Concept art for the Billy Goat Gruff, by @artmakerproductions

The two last companions of Beth are the Mouse and the Billy Goat Gruff.

The Mouse is the character from “The Lion and the Mouse” fable. After her time with the Lion, the Mouse believes that she can help everyone around her - and she started some sort of “charity work”, vowing to help anyone in the forest, no matter how creepy, dreadful or monstrous they look. Because she is convinced that there is some good in everyone’s heart, and that you can bargain with everyone. When Beth gets stuck in one of the traps of the Third Little Pig, it is the Mouse that helps her escape - in parallel to the original Lion story - and then she decides to tag along with them, using her small size as an assert. 

Her kind-heart will however be her own undoing... As the Big Bad Wolf finds himself stuck in a trap, the Mouse decides to free him in exchange of the promise that he will spare her newfound friends. But the Mouse was too trusting - and as soon as the Mouse is free, the Wolf comes back on his word and gulps the little rodent...

The Billy Goat Gruff is actually the eldest of the three billy goat gruff of the tale. Just like in the original story, the three goats vanquished the Bridge-Troll - and afterward they grew fat on the fertile grass they had conquered... Too fat. Too lazy. Too happy. They became so complacent that, when the Big Bad Wolf arrived in their land, they were too weak and out of shape to defend themselves. The Eldest Goat escaped, but his siblings got devoured. 

Now the Eldest Goat is hellbent on revenge against the Wolf, having worked out a lot to get back into shape and find back his old strength. He became a cynic and harsh character, that joins the group as a “second in command” - since he is the most mature of the bunch after Beth... Though his grumpy, coarse and rude nature truly makes him “gruff”.

🐾🦁 Two fables are better than one and with twice the morals being told. Back in 2021, I combined “The Lion and the Mouse” with “The Tortoise and the Hare” for the fun of it. This time I have been playing around with “The Lion and the Fox” and “The Fox and the Grapes”. 🦊🍇

Vigil: Taking one of the worst beatings of his life from an unhinged madman

Meanwhile Kai: Oh yay! I found razorblades and some turkey. :D

(What is it, Sora?)

(...he didn't know.

Maybe it was guilt?

He'd never felt this way for the darkness before...

....

He lowered his keyblade, and the thing squeaked.

It looked at him, before a few seconds later, retreating to the darkness yet again.)

I've been thinking of effective ways to introduce my Tumblr audience to my ocs. Now I realize, there isn't one. An introduction is foreign to me. My insta audience has watched my little guys develop over the past months, since the start of the year! I'm not sure how many people actively tune into my Tumblr– especially if it's not FNAF or Newsies that I'm posting. what a combination of fandoms by the way

so! I think this will be my last doodle dump for the Playhouse that I'll do for now. I would love a big Tumblr audience for them, but insta seems to be the primary place where people see my stuff. I dunno 🖖

I'll continue to post fandom stuff of course! but ocs I think I'll designate to insta. If you genuinely want to learn more about them, visit me here. there's a highlight on my profile about the story, and I post a lot about them all over my insta.

but who knows? fortunately, I happen to be the most indecisive person on planet earth, so this decision might be subject to change. we'll see :3
