hell hath no fury

another drawtectives by @drawfee brainrot. i have a lot of Thoughts about lotta justice. GOD the way she loses her husband and her son in one night is so devastating. i know she's smiling in the huck e heese portrait but i imagine sometimes she looks in the mirror and catches a glimpse of herself and wonder what kind of monster she created who is capable of murdering his own father. and sometimes, she wonders about what that says about herself.

tell me about drawtectives. what is this little show.

oooooh my god oh my god. they are my guys. so.

drawtectives itself is a youtube series created by julia lepetit on Drawfee. it's an rpg mystery show– s1 is a murder mystery, s2 is just a mystery– that doubles as an art challenges show. she draws all of the backgrounds and npcs and most of the assets (the 'cutscenes', you could call them) and then the team gets together, knowing absolutely nothing besides what julia's asked them to prepare, and does some funky improv to create a very funky storyline.

there are 3 players and one dm; the pcs are rosé, york, and grendan/grenda/grandma/gma, and the Big NPCs are Jancy True (s1/s2) and Eugene Finch (s2) and they're, in their own words, a found family, so. beloved. their backup plan if all their jobs fail is to move out east and open a bookstore. jancy and eugene have fully accepted their titles as mom/ancestral ghost and son despite meeting each other likely once before the drawtectives dragged them together. overall though if i had to summarize, it's a bunch of friends getting together, making a bunch of puns, appreciating julia's art, and laughing together. the vibes are 10/10 so loving. in writing the transcripts i've written (Karina laughs) (Nathan laughs) (All laugh) So Many Times it's just fun.

so there's three pcs. first one we meet is gyorik 'york' rogdul, who's a half-orc come to the city to learn about his mother's culture. he is the character we have by far the most lore for– if I compiled all the lore I had about the Northern Tribes and Wild Trains, I think the document would be multiple pages. he's also illiterate, which was an interesting decision for the english major of the group to make (in other words, York Will Not Be Illiterate For Season Three bc Y'all Cannot Read) and morally gray if you think about it too hard (he killed his own brother) but yknow he's hot so it's okay. they're all hot any crimes committed are okay. he's also aroace (confirmed by the player, which is!! vibes!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME @axolotllee!)

rosé is the Human Rogue and the youngest of the party; her main trait in s1 was Millennial and she Dealt with that. she, in contrast with York, has so little lore we are scraping the barrel. she was a thief, then left everything about that life behind and changed her name to rosé when she went to work for jancy. she lied on her resumé. she knows how to sew; she's sewn Pockets of Holding on most of her clothing. she bonded with a stray cat that lived outside her last apartment. she's three credits short of graduating college. she's, in addition to being a drawtective, jancy's intern, and cried when jancy got her a cupcake. she won't tell her best friends when her birthday is or where she goes to school or what her last name is. that's all we know about her and i love her and she could probably kill someone as she has multiple knives on her person and does not use them. she's bright and funny and can be pretty dark but really does find the humor in it which is. wonderful.

so grendan highforge starts out as The Snobby Rich Boy which. already love the trope something Always Happens To Them if they're a pc. then through s1 they make an offhand comment about a character (faucon, whose name is pronounced 'falco') and how if her name was pronounced that way it'd be grenda. faucon asks how they feel about it. they are caught very off-guard by that and then ask to be called it for the next hour or so. then the next witness calls him gma, and then grandma, and then. yeah she realizes she's genderfluid. and he uses any pronouns and has a full beard and also wears a romper and loves dogs and the player is the Most Experienced TTRPG-er so through maybe using resources a bittt grandma is the most observant character of all of them. he's also a dog walker and a lightweight and does canonically have druidic magic though that was Not Touched On Much and showed up to their first day on the job slightly stoned (they did stop doing that though.) she carries around a box to make the height difference (york is 7'. grendan is 4'. rosé is 6'. you can see the formatting issue) slightly less difficult. she doesn't know how rhinos reproduce but has had a fascination with them since a police chief said one might've committed a crime. i think they could kill someone by talking too much but they don't actually have the strength or dex to do Jack Shit.

and jancy true is the head pi (a great many of the characters are puns and i love it so much) and is there to make sure things get done and clues don't get missed. she has a cochlear implant and uses a cane and solved s1 just by Reading The Paper and hearsay. she solved about half of s2 before Someone Stopped Her. she says hello children to the drawtectives and it is such a fond thing. eugene is. a guy who i love. julia started the show thinking he would be some mysterious character to join them and then made the wonderful improv decision– avoiding having to do npc-npc conversation– of saying 'yeah eugene is spinning a camera on its stand' and rosé just says so gleefully. 'guys. i think he's stupid.' and he became their son. his character is a lot of The Plot of s2 so i don't want to get into it too much but. jancy and eugene my beloved.

they're just. such a family. to quote nathan (grenda's Player) from the s2 talkback: "That's one of my favorite things about this show, is we came in with these vague ideas for characters, and just playing them with each other, they became friends and became better people as a result of knowing each other and solving mysteries. ... Like, we all kind of independently made our characters people that either were distant from their families or, you know, just had tenuous connections to other stuff, and so these are, like, the realest connections they have in their lives."

and then karina (rosé) about 10 seconds later: "Yeah, we love a found family where they bond over just being the worst."

god. them. they're chaotic and loud and feel very real to me. they have excitement and are pretty bad at social cues but they love each other and want to die together because they would hate too much to be separated. i could articulate this better but it's one in the morning and they mean a great deal to me.

[halebop-s-art]

I colored my old Lotta and Harper drawing ! I think that, now that they have only eachother, they would bond and get closer than ever. Lotta would tell her daughter about her thieving days, and Harper would pretend not to be impressed but would keep requesting her favorite stories. Also there's Harold the Dog.

Lotta Justice milf of all time!!!!

Jancy and Joe have started hanging out more as friends as they promised. But the Drawtectives can tell there's something more. Jancy denies, at least outwardly, that there's any sort of romantic feelings. How long can she go on lying to herself? And if she were to confess would it ruin her friendship with Joe?

Lotta Justice (S01E02) v Buzz (S01E03)

[ottororin]

the justice siblings are so like...THE pair of people ever.

like, one of them is a thief, the other one killed (his dad).

they both just want to be cool. they both just want to be SEEN by others.

(just deep down, VERY, VERY insecure.)

they both have money/material possessions as the crux of their issues... (ie, emery with heavy gambling, and harper with being VERY convinced that she's poor.)

like, i feel like they hate being compared to each other, but when you really break it down, they're pretty much just the same person at different enviromental factors.

anyways. my headcanon is that

harper's "dexterity" and mannerisms as a thief came from her watching emery play boy-scout around the house. like, this girl doesn't know how to keep secrets, but she WILL lace her boots with a sheepshank knot.

Drawtectives: Gangster AU

Rosé = the ex-street rat, picked up by Jancy when she was young and has since proven loyal enough to work he way up to being the boss' 2nd-hand-man

Grendan "Grandma" Highforge = The Nepo Baby, Rich kid who rebelled from their blacksmith family, they're the hook-up with wealthy/influential people. Heavily associated with Lotta's blackmail org.

Gyorik "York" Rogdul = The Showgirl, also could be the bodyguard but by the time I realized that I'd already drawn him. He works at the gang's regular speakeasy under the stage name "York"

Jancy = The Boss/the Knower, she is a genius who became frustrated with never seeing real justice served for the crimes she solved, she turned to this life to stimulate her overdeveloped neural cortex after solving crime got too easy. Despite this she has a strict (yet unknown) moral code

How Jancy found Rosé after she tried to pick her pocket

Grendan may get cut off from their allowance/inheritance every other week, but they're never short on cash

Gyorik makes bank, but only uses "York" because no one can learn his past life of a Orcish prince who committed fratricide

Eugene is an absolute poser. the other three imprinted on him snd he wants to hand out with them and help the gang, but he's scared of drugs, doesn't drink, has never held a gun before and is terrified of lying to authority.

Might post the B&W versions too

Regarding pitches for media involved in the tournament... I have one for Drawtectives! Strap in, it's a long one.

It's a series on Youtube from the Drawfee channel, and it's like. It's roleplaying + drawing. The plot and the NPCs were all done (and most voiced) by one member, Julia Lepetit, and the other three are player characters who must solve the mystery by talking to NPCs and doing drawing challenges. It's mostly goofy and fun bcs. Well. It's Drawfee, that's what they do.

So. The player characters! One, part of this tournament, is Gyorik Rogdul aka York, an arospec ace half-orc prince who loves arm wrestling and can't read and got turned into a model by chance; then, there's Grendan Highforge, aka Grenda/Gma/Grandma, the chill dog-walking dwarf druid who has a realization halfway in S1 and is officially genderfluid in S2 (any pronouns); and finally, Rosé the cool human rogue who can fit so many things in her pockets, (also she is unlabeled but has flirted with men and women). By the start of S2 they all have bonded much more closely and have a sort of ambiguous found family/queerplatonic polycule vibe and I love that for them!!

The NPCs! They are all so varied, and most have punny or silly Ace Attorney-esque names. A paladin named Sorin Justice and his wife Lotta Justice. A director named Anne Daction. A conductor named Conrad Uctor. S2 even has justification for the punny names! Which I am not going to spoil. Julia does a wonderful job with designing all of them and voicing most of them! And a few in S2 are voiced by fun guests like Elyse Willems, ProZD/SungWon Cho, and Caldwell Tanner (the OG Drawfather himself)!

The settings! Oh the settings, the background art! So lovingly created, so detailed and beautiful and fun. In S1, they were all parts of a fancy mansion-- a dining room, a library, a parlor lined with paintings and animal masks! S2 allows for more variety like a circus, a bar, even a jousting arena, and some of these have gorgeous posters made into IRL merch (currently sold out tho)!!

The drawing challenges! They're a staple part of Drawfee as a whole and hence they're a main feature here. Some are fun prompts like "draw a food creature" or "draw a steed to joust with", some are actual challenges like drawing (fantasy, knock off) celebrities based on description and drawing blindfolded guided by spoken directions. Since it's all in character, the usual Drawfee banter turns into nonsense lore and character interactions, and it's so, so much fun!!

Of course, the episodes average at about 50 minutes long, so... I get that it's tough to even start. But it's recommended (iirc by the crew themselves) that if you want a taste tester, go to S2 (Celestial Spear) episode 7. It's the one with SungWon in it, it can generally stand alone, and it's absolutely hilarious. (But it's also a dating sim parody plot, so your mileage might vary. I think it's fun tho)

So yeah. Try out Drawtectives (S3 in the works)! Thanks for being my captive audience, and I'm sorry! (for the long ramble, and also it's a Drawfee thing to end with sorry)

!!!!

[kawaiichibiart]

There is one thing I am anticipating more than the art and new characters (design wise) we'll get to see in Drawtectives Season 2.

And that's hearing all the names Julia has come up with because god fucking damn it, they killed me last season.

//DRAWTECTIVES FINALE SPOILERS//

Oops, it’s time for sincere Drawtectives fanart. 

Just something about Emery being described as “really remorseless” and how cold and self-serving he was and how sad Lotta is and her talking about going down to talk to Emery as he’s being arrested really struck me. I dunno I got Drawtectives feels. 

Sillier Drawtectives fanart coming soon. 

[ticenchantedtoc]

Buckle up here come the headcanons!

Post-Season 1:

The Drawtectives (York, Grendan, and Rosé) share a cozy apartment just as friends. Originally, this was just to save money, but since York started his modelling career, they honestly don't need to split rent anymore. But they enjoy each other's company, so why change things?

Rosé, being a former criminal, had to change her identity somewhat before officially working with P.I. Jancy True. Jancy helped her through this entire process, including legally changing her name to Rosé.

Based on Grendan having a cane in their original design, I headcanon them as being physically disabled! Most days he only needs the cane, but he has a pair of crutches as well. If she ever seriously needs a break, York offers great piggy back rides.

In the aftermath of her father's death and brother's arrest, Harper moved back in with Lotta as well as getting her dog Harold. Despite her attitude seeming much the same, she and her mom have both been healing, especially in their own relationship. Lotta shares stories of her own youth and helps teach Harper more effective ways to "stick it to the man."

Avis developed severe anxiety (in addition to the social anxiety he already had) after not only being in the same house as a man who was murdered but also almost being framed for said murder after police asked him and his young son to stay during interrogations all night. With Jorgens and Borgens going bankrupt, he's also been unemployed. Thankfully, Rosé loves having Ogalvy around and has offered to babysit him during the day so Avis can have a bit of time to apply for jobs and just breathe.

Post-Season 2:

The Drawtectives offer for Eugene to move in with them, and he puts the money from selling his place directly into the Celestial Spear reformation project. They also get a new cat to live, which obviously becomes Eugene's darling immediately.

Lotta donates some of the Justice family's wealth to the Celestial Spear. As thanks, Eugene mailed her a photo of him visiting Soren's spirit in Gareville.

While most of the Celestial Spear's talent return to the physical world (Kingston reunites with his family, Abayomi finally opens her own restaurant and bar like she always dreamed, etc), some of them also decide to stay. Terry/Sharon in particular continues working with Eugene to make the Celestial Spear back into what they had wanted it to be. Harvey also stays, able to perform more over-the-top tricks without serious risk.

Joebeans, still going by Jo these days, reopens her coffee shop in the physical world. Rosé, of course, starts scheming how to set her up with Jancy.

Anna Log, having gotten over her creator's block, has scrapped her old plans and begun with a new portfolio of game ideas. After some tweaking, her animatronic has taken up part-time work helping Felix around Gareville.

Remember in the tags of the original post where I mentioned having a crackship? Yeah it's Harvey and Avis and I will not apologize for it.

Just finished Drawtectives Season 2 and oh boy am I having crazy person thoughts. Headcanons you wouldn't even believe.
