Mr. and Mr. Alabaster

(this is me being cringe but free THIS IS ME BEING CRINGE BUT FREE)

true to my word, I am currently rewatching root rpg just bc I miss celgene alabaster. I was thinking a little bit too hard about him though and ended up making him a husband, so here's Sonny! he has existed for like two days and already he means the world to me.

they r,,,,, important to me. idk man i just like the idea of this big ol grumpy, shady badger guy having an adorable rabbit husband who he calls cute affectionate nicknames and they both adore each other. THEY MEAN A LOT TO ME. i have like so many thoughts about their dynamic but i can't articulate them into words so im just like hrnrnrnrnrnrnnrnrnr!!!!!!! im thinking about them so hard guys you dont understand they r taking over my brain i love them so much

i have more doodles i'd like to make of them but i guess only time will tell how many of those i'll actually be able to get down.

root rpg,,,,, save me root rpg

SIKE this is more alabaster husband posting because I love them and cant stop thinking about them <3

peggy's beef with celgene makes me giggle. man is SO incredibly stressed and tired and peggy just fuels the fire by getting on his ass about it it's very silly

these guys are 50/almost 50 (in my head at least) can u believe that

a funny thought i had that i wanted to draw but decided would be too much work and i couldn't do how i wanted to (spoilers for root rpg ep 3)

Since celgene's office is also his bedroom I think the idea of like, ep 3 after everything is said and done and cel brings everyone up to his office, Sonny is in bed still but woke up after cel got up and so when he comes back to the room, Son's just like "What was all the commotion about Cel-" and he's just met with the sight of celgene leading the vagabonds in, a very beat up Mr. Y and Phil, and the dead body of Mr. Smiles being dragged into the room while Dolly lays out a tarp and Cel and Sonny just kinda look at each other very silently for a hot minute before they're like

"I don't even- go back to bed doll"

"Yeah im goin back to bed"

MORE HUSBANDS

MORE HUSBANDS!!!!!! you’re in luck bc I actually have been doodling them recently bc I love them and I miss them

(^ this ones from a while ago actually I just never got a good opportunity to post it) I’ve been going back n forth on giving them more root art adjacent looks vs drawing them with slightly more human proportions

human versions waoooo so crazy. it’s funny bc cel’s only like 5 years older than Sonny at most but Sonny just has a very youthful look to him. Celgene’s more stressed most of the time so it’s probably not doing him any favors

and some solo Sonns as well!! I like him so so much he makes me so happy. that first one was very much inspired by the snippet of The Sailor Song that was going around on tiktok as an animation meme for a bit. not following the format at all but it’s just how I imagined it for them bc I felt like it fit <3

I was actually writing a fic of when they first met a while ago and it was kinda rushed and shitty but I liked it. never finished it tho. even if I did I’m not sure if/where I would publish it bc at a certain point this becomes so removed from the loa campaign that like idk if I’d even be able to tag it as loa fanfic anymore. IM IN THIS WAY TOO DEEP GUYS

your oc sonny is wonderful and already giving me diabetes. Can you give details about how he met celgene?

WAAAAAAAAAA‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ GETTING UP AND JUMPING AND RUNNING AROUND VERY FAST‼️‼️‼️‼️ TYSM this like actually means the world to me I’m so happy other people enjoy him 🥹🥹🥹

I have had a couple thoughts bouncing around up there about their first meeting. I like to think these guys have been married for like 20-30 years so like it’s interesting trying to think abt how different celgene might’ve been back that but like ultimately idrk im just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what makes me happiest. Either way I do think that they met at the Pearl Saloon.

One thought that I had actually came bc I was looking up badger courtship behavior (I’m in this way too deep chat) and one thing that came up is that the males will approach their potential mate by doing this like, stiff-legged shuffle to them and I just think it’d be really funny if celgene saw Sonny at the Pearl one night and very awkwardly and nervously shuffled over to him and asked him to dance. I also like to think that since he was taking 5ever to actually hype himself up to approach Sonny, someone else with him (either a friend or other saloon staff idk) was like “celgene istg if you don’t go up to that rabbit already-“ and cel was like “SHADDUP IM GOING IM GOING” (and then it still took him ages to go).

While they start dancing with each other, they introduce themselves and a thought that I really enjoy is celgene introducing himself as “celgene alabaster, though my friends usually call me Cel”

and Sonny responds “yeah? we friends, Cel?”

and celgene goes “well I’d certainly like to be”

aughh. they just make me happy heheheheh

The other main thought I was having with them was after a bit, they go sit down at the bar and Celgene pours Sonny a drink himself, and while he does he’s basically like “listen, I like you, dollface, I really do, but I don’t think a sweet thing like you wants to get caught up with a guy like me”

and Sonny pretty much just leans in and goes “oh yeah? Says who?”

The thought process with all that is that Celgene is described as a shady guy and he mentions more than once how he’s good with a knife and all that, and I imagine he’s been up to this kind of thing for a while. With sonny, I like to think he’s not all too unfamiliar with this kind of business himself, though maybe not quite as experienced with it as celgene is himself. He does very obviously come off as a lot more unsuspecting than celgene though, so that’s not like super immediately clear, and so celgene trying to be somewhat upfront about that is him giving Sonny an out, essentially, and trying to tell him what he’s getting into if he does stick with cel. Sonny meeting him with that and letting him know that he knows is Sonny’s own way of telling celgene that he’s not just looking to fool around and actually does wanna get to know him better. I don’t know what I’m saying right now does this make sense I hope this makes sense lmao. I just. I just really like them a lot okay orz

Actually kinda still sticking with that train of thought, not related to their first meeting or anything but I like to think that when he actually starts working at the Pearl, Sonny has his own ways of dealing with less than savory clientele. Celgene has a lot of intimidation factor to him and is more than willing and capable of taking care of some jerks, but Sonny still keeps a dagger on him in case he needs to handle anything himself. I like to think that he more or less knew how to use it before he met cel but early on in their relationship, wanting him to be able to really keep himself safe, Celgene showed him how to really use it some more and taught him some stuff with it (Sonny did learn knew things from this but he may or may not have also just been letting Celgene reteach him things he already knew bc he’s a cornball) (this idea was also definitely entirely inspired by cel teaching Booker how to use a knife in ep 3)

anyways I haven’t even fully caught up on icebound yet (I’ve got like 3-4 eps left as of right now) but like. I wanna rewatch root rpg so bad. I miss it so much guys you don’t understand. I NEED MORE PEOPLE TO WATCH/TALK ABOUT IT ITS SO GOOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH. obviously love uprooted too but something about og root is just so dear to me it holds a special place in my heart.

part of this is also because I miss my bbg celgene alabaster and I need to draw him and spread the good word about him because I love him so much and I need people to know that
