I love evil women and the kids the public sents out to stop her (they're both inexperienced and probably going to die)
Progress and some lore below cut:
OKAY SO SOME VERY NOTICABLE CHANGES ARE HERE. Mostly their designs and names. Yes, these two are Goth Teensy and Bad Rayman. Yes, their names are changed and yes, I modified their designs a lot. Goth is like 18 and Shadi mentally 18, physically 12, but like 28 years in actuality.
SO!! These two are the heroes the Glade is depending on. Reluctantly, but whatever, it's better than nothing.
Goth Teensy's lore is pretty much the same as Fate of the Moons tbh (he was actually called "Plum" before meeting Rayman in that). Being dropped off at the Livid Dead, being adopted by Jano and Voodoo Mama, being coached by Romeo, befriending Shadi etc. However, that canon and this canon diverge here.
Plum was never sent to the Glade to be purified of his nightmare-ness and then recruited into Rayman's band of heroes. Instead, he remained in the Livid Dead and was actually studying to be a doctor (akin to Romeo). However, when all the shit hit the fan via Wizard's violent murder campaign, he was asked by Voodoo Mama specifically to aid in defeating Wizard. However, to try and reverse Plum's power nerfing from his initial transformation, they had to purify him. VM did her best to reverse it, but since the original caster botched the nightmare spell so bad, he was only partly healed. This is very prevalent when he uses his magic, since it is nightmare magic. It turns him back to his purple state before relaxing and changing into his calico-spotted state. He is never fully blue.
As for his personality, he is very much nervous and more studious than his normal self. He loves everything to do with lums and how they work, especially blue lums. He's also much more passive and avoidant of conflict. He's also usually the voice or reason between him and Shadi.
Shadi (who is Bad Rayman) is also in a similar situation. Her lore stays consistent with Fate of the Moons, with her being left for dead in the Livid Dead, befriending Goth and to extent his whole found family, learning to be independent etc. but her divergence is a little more personal for her.
When it comes to the attention of the Nymphs that Wizard is not above killing people for lums, they search the Glade for a viable Rayman replacement, but to no avail. The closest they got was Raymesis, but he refused so he couldn't be used.
With no faces in the Glade, they decide to go under and consult VM about any thingamajigs she knows of. She reluctantly brings up Shadi (mind you she views both her and Plum like her kids and doesn't want them put in danger) but refuses to let her fight until Shadi shows genuine interest in avenging Jano. After being known as "Bad Rayman" then a nobody for 12 years, she views this as a chance to show that she's just as good as the guy she's based on and can haul just as much if not more. Shadi then convinces Plum to join her endeavor, and after his "purification", they set off to kick ass.
They're so whimsical and joyous it would be a shame if something terrible happened to them in the future. I'm sure it'll be fiiiiine, nothing to worry about :)
y'all...i got carried away and drew both of my favourite yellow characters 👉👈
It's just for silly thing i wanted to do (i know it's cringe 😭)
i tried to make their outfits less boring and to match their own sense of styles, cuz i like to torture

Raynotaur lives at the foot of Mystical Pique, where it’s the rockiest. His best friend and partner in crime is Moth, spending every second of the day together. He’s quick and a little impulsive, okay, very impulsive. He loves anything having to do with archery or parkour. Though it’s a little difficult trying to balance on four feet.
Moth is a strange thingamajig, having four arms and lacking very few resemblance to Rayman. Sleepy and sarcastic, he has a hard time staying awake, especially during the day. Some people think that he's an artificial thingamajig, not actually being made of Lums. But he glows in the dark, so there goes that theory.
Raypookie appeared out of nowhere. Legends say that if you find him, you’re destined to never be alone again. That means you’ll find your true love soon, or he is going to bug you for the next few weeks. He calls everyone his ‘pookie’, and no one knows if it’s platonic or romantic.
Some icons I drew of 2 designs i got from a friend (@sp00kysweetz ) who I decided I wanted to draw a bit ago. I just never got around to posting them until now.
