Some silly low stakes minor character redesigns

First up! Princess Mandie, now a preying mantis. I saw her minor insect features and wanted to push those further in my design. I learned somethings about mantis anatomy from researching this. Considering her role as Mark’s arranged and unwanted fiancée, her being an alien that is quite similar to a bug that eats the guy during mating seems all too perfect. I had fun making her face a heart shape.

Second, the Fair Bears. Imma be honest. I never saw their episode. I was out of the fandom at that point and only came back years later. Don’t know how it went, but I like the concept of Chloe being so sheltered that their favorite show is something for really little kids and wanting to meet the characters because they had no real friends. It feeds into the headcanon I have that they were homeschooled. It’s true to my version of the character. I don’t particularly like their names except maybe Ray, because they’re too simple and undescriptive but I think that further emphasizes that they come from a poorly made show. With this redesign, I wanted to make them fit the FOP style, but looking back I would want to come up with a style unique to their show, somewhere between Fosters Home and Blue’s Clues so their different design sensibilities seemed more intentional and appealing.

autumn love notes

[whatsjulietslastname]

HEY GUYS REMEMBER WHEN CHLOE WANTED MAX TO BE THE LAST THING SHE EVER SAW BEFORE DYING. BTW GUYS. REMEMBER WHEN CHLOE SAID “i’m never leaving you” AND “that’s okay we will, forever” AND “Max, i’ll always be with you”. GUYS GUYS GUYS HOLD ON REMEMBER WHEN CHLOE SPENT YEARS TALKING TO MAX IN HER DIARY BECAUSE SHE COULDN’T LET HER GO GUYS. AND WHEN SHE TOOK MAX BACK IN A HEARTBEAT BECAUSE SHE MISSED HER TOO MUCH. OH AND BTW REMEMBER HOW THEY WERE CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS AND GREW UP TOGETHER AND FELL IN LOVE AND ARE NOT LINKED ONLY BY A ‘trauma bond’. DO WE REMEMBER THAT. COLLECTIVELY.

[uhhhh-em-draws-stuff]

Throughout her life, Chloe’s parents would always start humming and singing a specific song. The song they had their first dance to when they fell in love at castlecoming. She had never gone more than a week without hearing the song or hearing about the events that came with it. As much as it could annoy her, it gave her hope that she, too, would fall in love while dancing to the song at her own castlecoming.

But here she was at her own castlecoming, leaning against the wall with Red in the dimly lit hall. Chloe had Red’s red suit jacket draped over her shoulders in an attempt to warm up after they turned the air conditioning up to cool the room down. Her red headed friend didn’t want to wear a dress, and the only way her mother allowed that was if Chloe picked it out for her, not trusting her daughter to dress herself. She was fairly merciful in picking out her outfit. However, she did throw in a red bow tie for good measure.

“Mmmmmmm~”

Chloe internally groaned. ‘Great!” she thought. She turned to her friend and said “The one song my parents wanted me to dance with someone during, no one in sight.”

She felt Red’s eyes on her. A moment of silenced passed, followed by another.

“Mmmmmmm~”

Before there could be a third, Red was fully turned to her with an extended hand.

“…..may I have this dance?”

Chloe blinked at her in shock. RED asking HER to DANCE? SLOW DANCE? To THIS song? What is happening?

She quickly regained her composure and slipped her hand into Red’s extended one.

“You may.”

Chloe rested her free hand on Red’s shoulder while Red’s slipped around her waist ever so slightly under her own suit jacket.

“So this is love, mmmmmmm~”

This might have not been how she imagined her castlecoming dance partner, it could’ve been someone much worse. She was glad it was Red. Even if it was just platonic. Even if her friend looked so beautiful in her suit. Even if her bow tie was so endearing to her. Even if she felt giddy when Red offered her her jacket. Even if Red’s dark eyes were staring into hers like there was something she had yet to realize. Even if-

‘Oh.’

‘I’m in love with red’

“So this is love~”

And she thinks she’s okay with that. She decides that’s a problem for later, just enjoy the dance now.

“Thank you so much, Red.”

She let go of Red’s hand and wrapped both arms around her neck and leaning into her, in a hug like position.

“So this is what makes life divine~”

She felt Red stiffen at sudden contact. After a moment she felt arms wrap around her midsection and a head lean into her shoulder.

“I’m all aglow, mmmmm~”

And maybe this was love.
