Some doodles from my WITW post-musical story! Story details and closeups under the cut

Lesser and Cheryl haven't seen Chief since they lost Toad Hall, and they assume the Riverbankers are to blame for it- I feel like a part of them would probably suspect that the Riverbankers had actually eaten him as payback for them almost eating Portia. Either way, they start causing more chaos than usual as a way to fight back; only the Wild Wooders' tendancy to pretend like they don't love each other means that this comes with no explanation to the Riverbankers.

Now, the Riverbankers haven't seen Chief since he used the chaos of Toad's entrance at the party to run away, lashing out at a rabbit butler on the way. So when the chaos begins, they assume that Chief has gone back to the Wild Woods and is trying to pull another stunt like he had at Toad Hall.

Chief hadn't wanted to go back to the Wild Wood, thinking that because he'd fucked up big time with the Toad Hall plan he would be hated by his friends. After he ran away from the party, Mole found him and encouraged him to go back to his friends; but not before accidentally, with that British awkward kindness, invited Chief to stay at his house if going home didn't work out.

When Chief went back to the Wild Woods, he came across the Foxes, who have their own ulterior motives, and so they turned hostile and attacked, chasing Chief out of the woods. So where did he go? The only place he could, Mole's house. Mole is at Ratty's, but when he returns a few days later and finds an injured Chief there, he calls upon Badger and lets Chief stay until he's healed.

Anyway, I'm rambling, but this whole story is Chief and Mole becoming friends whilst the Riverbankers and the Wild Wooders start causing chaos with each other. Mole knows that Chief could put a stop to all of the havoc if he just... told everyone where he was, but Chief doesn't want to do that, even after he heals, for multiple reasons. It's a mess of miscommunication and I love it!

There are people out there, including Lesser, who don't believe that Lesser Weasel wasn't written to be a least Weasel like

Lesser Weasel

Least Weasel

It's a clear case of writers alluding to what the character is meant to represent through the name

But go off "Lesser is a short-tailed weasel" uh ok

the wild wooders sleep in a giant pile together during the day. chief weasel pretends he hates it so no one knows how comforted he is by the warmth + safety of being surrounded by His Guys™

lesser + cheryl always weasel their way into the pile to be at his side. they call a temporary truce to their rivalry each night so they can both enjoy these moments (as the alternative, they found, is they are both kicked out for their squabbling)

It’s finished! Not my best work but I’m trying to be less of a perfectionist… I cannot tell you the joy this musical brings me, it is truly something very special!

I have been going mad over DAYS trying to settle on a character design for a mustelid character. My brain is melting.

They're a Colombian weasel, lesser grisson and a hybrid possibly-maybe.

Today's lesser known cryptid is: The Garden Weasel

[rainbowratsstuff]

Here's some updated designs for the wild wooders. I hoped to make them look more like the animals they're supposed to be (also I made chief a ferret because I like this headcanon)

[weltato]

a thing I like in difference between the live version of witw and the soundtrack is that in tww when Chief says "who makes the decisions around here?" in the soundtrack, Lesser sounds a little scared and a lot "shit shit ignore me, I fucked up talking back I know, don't hurt me" but in the live version that I've seen Lesser sounds more confident in a sort of "hey, you're the boss man, I understand that, I'll go do what you told me to do now" way and he even (I believe??) shoots fingerguns at Chief

idk if this makes sense, I'm just writing brain words and have some lesson planning to do, but basically in the soundtrack the "you do, chief" sounds more like a question than a statement to me
