#it’s time for the savannaclaw wives

[neoninky]

I now understand why Leona doesn’t have super curly/kinked hair like a lot of africans/african american/black people do…

Drawing it is hard oof 😵‍💫

I decided to finally attempt to draw my TWST OC, Adela de Beau who is the TWST ethnic equivalent of a mixed French/African lioness beastman…whose mother is a human and her father is a lion beastman…and whose Unique Magic switches her back and forth between looking fully human or fully beastman…so she’s a bit complicated lol

She’s had some screen/page time in my first story Her Ivory Crown and was briefly mentioned as one of the 2nd Gen OCs’ mother in the short chapters I wrote about the babies.

And honestly I didn’t think much on the logistics surrounding her UM when I first created her but here we are 😂

The main reason behind her switching between human and beast appearances is because she is lightly based on Prince Adam from Beauty and the Beast…

Yes this guy:

The face that completely disappointed an entire generation of Disney chillins and Belle

So I guess this means I need to draw Leona in the iconic Belle dress 🤣

Anyhoo all this to say that I’m doing my best

TWST Shenanigan Post: 'How I Met Your Mother'

It was a long work day and I am spent....but not so much that I don't want to make this stupid post for my own amusement lol.

So on an art poll I put up some time ago, the people have spoken and a desire for art of 2nd Gen Canon x OC babies was put on the table. So that's definitely on the top of my 'To Draw' list along with re-introducing my SC gurls. While that is being worked on behind the scenes, I had a silly thought regarding the canon bois telling their kids how they hooked their oc wives (or visa versa cough)...more specifically, Leona Kingscholar and the other Savannaclaw bois lol. I have ideas for the characters that Ruggie and Jack end up with but they aren't nearly as fleshed out (I'll do a part 2, part 3, etc. later) so just everyone's favorite grumpy lion prince today lol.

Anyone who read my 2nd Gen short story about the Octatrio bbys knows which one of my girls Leona marries but for the sake of spoilers, under the cut we go:

Context: While I didn't give them a lot of on-page interaction together in Her Ivory Crown, Leona and my OC, Adela De Beau do get together in the future and have a son that is mentioned in the kiddo short story. Outside of being an eighteen year old student, Adela is also a fashion model that is popular and lucrative enough to have worked with Vil on a few shoots before. She's also a mixed human-beastman lion girl who can magically switch back and forth between looking fully human and looking fully beastwoman. She mostly models in her human look cuz work reasons but occasionally, Adela does let her lioness self show.

Aaaand action!

Scene: Leona (still at NRC) has been casually talking to Adela from Sacred Crown since the first time they met. He's forced to go back home for some event (aside from The Cloud Calling lol) and oh wouldn't you know it? Adela's in town for a short holiday and she wants to see him!

Leona: *tired af from being around his family arrives at the hotel address Adela sent him* "ugh.. " 😑 *he gets to the door and knocks while looking at something on his phone, totally not paying attention as the door opens* "sup."

*looks up* ....!!!

Adela: *In lioness mode, hair natural, no make up, wearing glasses instead of contacts, baggy t-shirt, and pj short shorts, barefoot.*

*Snaps the book she was reading a minute ago shut with a searing look on her face* "Alright Kingscholar, listen up. I don't get a break from my modeling schedule very often, let alone a week-long one, plus I have this expensive and entirely too big for one person suite all to myself, all. week. long. ....so either you get your ass in here and bed rot with me while I read through my stack of books and/or do nothing but be comfy, watch movies, and eat whatever the hell we want, just the two of us the entire time OR be gone from my presence this instant."

Leona: ..........*looks her up and down, totally used to seeing her in full hot fashion bitch mode* ....*chucks cellphone over shoulder before leaning against the door frame with the most smug smirk he's ever smirked, tail swishing, 1000% hooked* "Sup~♥️♥️♥️♥️”

(Time Skip to Dad!Leona talking to his son)

Leona: And that is how your mother bagged me for life.

Asani: ...don't you mean how you bagged her?? Leona: *totally deadpan* I do not. Adela's a very busy woman but her time is down time or else and Leona ain't about to defy his queen lol. Lions who bed rot together stay together 😂
