#this isn't really any attempt at contributing to the currently ongoing and popular fae au just thinking abt my old one again bc of it

These are red bodied swallowtails btw! (Pics and rambling under cut for bug cw 👍)

And I also found these guys, which I thought either could be fitting for Void! vvv

And I did like these a lot! The Hawk moth, maybe most fitting for Lace since their wings look like his nicknamesake 💖 vvv

Last thoughts on it for now but I also like the idea of Stretch maybe being ruddy daggerwing styled <3 vvv

Back when I'd been pondering on my own fae/fairytale au most monsters had more like, fictionally based wings tied to their appearance, like Levi had fin wings that were similar to her head fins and like, a little like sailfish fins? That's why in the initial sketch of Edge he has bone/dragon style wings, and Red would've presumably had similar (but probably one being significantly damaged, as is my usual modus operandi whenever giving him extra features, which can most prominently be seen in his mer-version's significant tail damage)

But! I really like the more classic spin with the more insect based wings!! I love looking at butterflies and moths <333

Found the old alt sketch and cleaned it up a little 💫
