#siffrin is like a mushroom to us

[cordycepsbian]

started on color hcs last night and only got through these two. our siffred and mirayellow

[octonerd]

Bonnie re-imagined! Plus also Petronille and some world building notes for my interpretation of the isat world

Kinda did this to further style how i draw bonnie but then realized their design kinda bothered me, my creative juices were like i must make this more like my shit!!!

Notes/thoughts and typed out writing in read more section ->

Text Id: (not one-to-one but its practically the same) first image: (wood plug?) and (Stone plug) Second image/next to second image: (hangs spices off of hat!!) and (features inspired by Incan people) Fourth image: (Nille) and (Bandana) Fifith image: (Patterns on clothing are more common for wealthy/city fashion, aka Isabeau) (both Bonnie/Nille weren't from Vauguarde originally/ Bonnie was too little to remember leaving) (Nille slipped away on a Trading shipment heading for Vauguarde and jumped ship on bamboche's docks) (Mwudu might make inspired by South American countries) Okay so starting off Both Bonnie/Petronille were born in Mwudu originally for my version with the direction for Mwudu in my hc being based off of countries in South America such as Peru, Ecuador, Chile etc. The practices and culture of Mwudu are my clay and puddy and i will be making more stuff about Mwudu probably for fun. Bonnie had been bothering me for the longest time though.. they don't look like a cook, they don't look rock type and also i felt didnt look unique enough ig? These are all my opinion though bonnie lovers please have mercy on me. So i gave them a hat that more closely looked kinda chef like? though yes i do know that the hat is a cultural thing but i wanted it to look more pillowy and it also looks like a mushroom now. I also made bonnie dress in a shirt inspired by chef uniforms but with a less modern look by using lace to tie it close instead. also they have wrapped hands to probably cover up burns/could also be simply that maybe bonnie likes to practice boxing with Isabeau and they do basic wraps on their hands to help with soreness. uhh any other notes is that yes I'm a Petronile is buff truther and in my mind has a body type close to Vi from arcane (lean and muscular versus someone like Isabeau who is a bigger guy). Also as illuded in game (Very vaguely i think), Petronille took bonnie with her to escape an abusive household and hopefully give bonnie the loving guardian she wished had been there for her (i imagine in my version she's probably close to siffrin's age)

ya'll liked the last one and i had fun dumping about the method actor au so here, have another poll

[beneathsilverstars]

you could. probably think if some characters are texture eaters and if so which textures they would prefer or what reactions they'd have over disliked textures

@kimdokjafan replied

I would love to hear what you have to say about the party's food preferences! Things like favorite food, things they dislike/won't eat

i started answering this anon and then got this reply, so i'll combine them. got really long lol, food is such a complex topic!

bonnie enjoys the multi-textured fish head, so they're probably big on texture! i think they're starting to have enough cooking experience to get put off when a texture isn't correct. like the problem isn't the texture itself but rather that rice should not be like that, they overcooked it, yuck, ugh! they would probably make a new batch if possible. however, they're also used to eating what you have because it's all you have — sometimes the nice neighbor drops off her shitty mac n cheese and it's better than nothing, or you mix up salt and sugar for today's bread but you're almost out of flour — so they'll try to come up with a new use for the fucked-up batch where the weird texture works better, or just eat it themself. unpleasant, but better than serving it to someone else or wasting it! as for what they enjoy the most: lots of different textures mixed together, like a salad or deluxe burrito. and chewy things!

we know bonnie's favorite foods are pineapple, rice, and samosas. i'd say they love sweet things as most kids do, but they're really starting to prefer a little more complexity to their sweet treats, like the tart acidity of pineapple. rice is a great favorite bc it's a comforting plain staple, but it can also be used in such a variety of dishes, as the entire base or to add texture! bonnie likes spicy, sour, etc... bring on the flavor! honestly i don't think there's many ingredients they don't like, it's more often a case of that flavor doesn't go there, why would you do that??? maybe they haven't grown into bitter vegetables yet.

siffrin also likes the fish head, so they really enjoy a fun texture, and they like trying new foods as they travel — but when they don't like something they hate it. but they also hate to raise a fuss! so if they're eating with other people, they'll try to just eat around the offending element without making it too obvious that's what they're doing, and then claim they're just not that hungry. if they're by themself, they'll spit it out and rinse out their mouth and eat something crunchy. they don't like tomatoes, which is convenient bc they also don't like when sandwich bread gets soggy at all. they don't like mushrooms or caramalized onion. they enjoy super crunchy things and a nice thick soup!

we know malanga fritters are presumably his favorite. i think he likes mashed potatoes too. fish, of course, and hearty stews. he loves clam chowder! he used to be a big sweet pastries fan, but post-canon he pivots to fruity sweetness bc he can't stand caramel-marshmallow-candy sweetness anymore, and even fruit's on thin ice. most of his disliked foods are about the texture, not the taste. but he's also really sensitive to associations - if he coincidentally gets sick after eating something, eats something badly seasoned, etc, it'll put him off of that taste for a while even if he doesn't remember why.

iirc isabeau wasn't into the fish head. he likes simpler and more predictable foods! he gets yucked out by overripe fruits, but luckily it's usually pretty easy to tell if a fruit will be good. if he does accidentally bite into a bad one, he makes a face and swallows it as quickly as possible, and asks if anyone else wants the rest before he donates it to the local wildlife. he likes fluffy breads and nuts! he's the kind of guy to pack a stack of pb&js and an apple for lunch every day, just buying a different flavor of jam each time he runs out. he doesn't like anything too spicy or bitter! probably a cheese fiend too.

mirabelle isn't super particular about textures, but she is pickier about tastes; she doesn't like a couple common vegetables, like green beans and cooked carrots, and a couple common sauces, like mustard and marinara. she doesn't like nuts, but sometimes eats them anyway because they're so popular in dormont's house for some reason and she gets tired of refusing to eat them, and now she sorta hates them even more but also will absentmindedly stand there munching on them? in general if she doesn't like a food she's served she'll still try to eat enough to be polite, but sometimes can't manage it. some foods she loves are honey, olives, and apple pie. she does love plums too, but it's less that they're objectively her favorite taste and more that they're her thing. it's fun having a thing!

odile likes delicate textures like flaky pastries and watermelon, and doesn't like purely glop-based foods like oatmeal, though it's tolerable with a crunchy topping. she really enjoys a good meat, like a nice herby steak or buttery pork belly. she doesn't dislike sweets, but she doesn't indulge in them in often; when she does, she prefers lemony desserts or bitter chocolate. she finds most foods tolerable at least, and especially likes sharp flavors, like vinegar and vodka!
