Skullgirls : Valentine messing with Fukua. She's mortified. Dialogue's based off of that Half-Life "California Scientists" animation by TSGPreston Evans.

Also, here's a dialogue-less art because I really liked drawing Valentine and Fukua, even if Fukua's having a rough time.

This picture was technically based off an idea from last year. It also came out of my wish to see Valentine interact with the other Lab 0 members, canon or not.

"Sketch of Valentine in front of sketches. If she wasn't double-crossing everyone and suffering by herself it would've been cool to see more of her sketches like in Robo-Fortune's story mode."

Was playing around with the sgm palette editor and made these!!! Valerie and Calculester inspired palettes for Ms. Fortune and Robo-Fortune :))

if you don't mind answering, why do you love the Valensoul ship as much as you do? I'm writing a personal project regarding the major ships for Skullgirls and you're the #1 Valensoul shipper I know of

I’m sorry for taking so long, since I’m actually really interested in answering this, but haven’t checked socials as much lately.

I have to start off by saying that before getting into Valensoul, I didn’t understand shipping nor fanon as concept. I didn’t understand why would someone build upon someone else’s fiction, nor why did people ship two characters that barely have any meaningful interactions between them in actual canon (not to mention Valentine is a really underdeveloped character in terms ingame canon). That all changed the day I drew these two literally handholding and it absolutely clicked in me that the “enemies to lovers” trope was blowing my mind through my skull, permanently changing my brain chemistry.

I'm gonna put a Read More 'cause I'm gonna start fixiating right now hold on gimmie a sec

okay so

The main appeal of the Valensoul ship is its versatility within the fandom: there’s no canon that supports it (nor contradicts it ;)) so people portray it whatever way they choose: they’re enemies to lovers, they’re exes, they’re in a toxic relationship, hell sometimes they don’t even like eachother, but somehow they're still together???

People don’t like Valensoul as much they like their version of Valensoul.

For me, I love the “enemies to lovers” trope as a form of character growth for the both of them. These are characters that have clashing personalities, different upbringings, and yet share similar struggles as consequence of having to face an apocalyptic force every 7 years. The appeal to me lies in asking “What has to change in both of them for them to form a relationship and be happier because of it?”

Parasoul is stuck with the demanding role of leading an entire kingdom at a relatively young age and seeks to protect it from the catastrophe that took most of her family. Because of it, she’s overprotective of her kingdom, her people, her sister, to a detrimental degree, unknowingly distancing herself from her sister and turning into an authoritarian leader. She comes off as cold and strict, but she’s driven by fear of losing what she has left, and that drives her to never compromise her way of leading, as it is the only way she knows how.

Contrast that to Valentine, a pawn of unknown (and frankly unimportant) origins. Being a soldier most of her life and a member of the ASG means the Skullheart also plays a big role in her life, practically she has dedicated her entire life to hunting it down. Much like Parasoul, she has also faced loss due to the Skullgirl, after she took out the Last Hope and forcing Valerie to become a confidant. Paradoxically, Valentine, who is very much characterized as a lone wolf who chases her own motives, is always taking someone else’s orders, let it be as a soldier, as Brain Drain’s assistant, or as the Skullgirl’s confidant. She never really had her own way, and is a puppet to bigger forces around her.

So there’s some interesting contrasts and overlaps between them:

Parasoul is overwhelemed by responsibility. Valentine rarely has any say on her fate.

Parasoul is protective of what she has inherited, what's left of her family and honor. Valentine doesn't have anyone nor anything left. She seems more interested in her research and mission being fulfilled rather than any self-preservation.

Parasoul is strict, set on her ways, and although she sometimes struggles to see the bigger picture, she always does what she believe is good. Valentine is someone with no affiliations, who has estranged herself from others, and adopts a gray morality and instrumental worldview to set herself on her...confusingly ambigous and ever changing goals.

Yet both of them faced loss, both of them have rigid personalities problems that alienate them from others, and both of them are just in dire need of a psychologist to be honest.

The Skullheart isn't directly leading the destruction of the world. It feasts off vulnerable, desperate people. If the status quo of this world continues, in 7 years there will be another Skullgirl. The only way to ensure it doesn't happen again is to change; adhering to the same methods, the old ways, will just ensure that the cycle mantains itself closed. With these different upbringings and motives yet similar objectives and loss, what could they bring to eachother? If they truly meet eachother, will they change? Will this change give Parasoul the perspective and guidance to lead and shift the tides and break the cycle? Will Valentine find somewhere to belong and with it a greater sense of purpose?

That to me is a very interesting writing prompt, a great starting off point to a piece of fanon to compliment the stated canon. It's an interesting direction for me to write fanon about the series, if I ever got the opportunity to do so. It's a different perspective on the characters and it's universe. A very hopeful one as well, one that contrasts with some of the more dark, edgy and sometimes one note stories of earlier SG. I'm not the biggest Skullgirls lorehead out there...

...And honestly, I don't care. the lore is physically all over the place, often it breaks its own rules even in the original 8 stories, and even then most of it isn't even implemented ingame and is just trapped in some napkin Ahad wrote into like 10 years ago...

...so perhaps I'm not the best to stick to the lore of the setting it takes place. But honestly, that's not my focus. I can't be asked to verify every single miniscule lore detail just to justify a work. Lore and worldbuilding doesn't make a story; that's just a backdrop, context for which to build on. Characters are what drive a story. Their struggles and how we relate to them is what keeps us interested. And if someday I can develop the dynamic between these two, that would be enough make a story. I really wish to dedicate a fully fleshed out work of fanon to this ship someday.

Anyways, thank you for asking, and sorry for rambling. Pharmacy school has been cooking my brain and frying my retinas, so excuse me if my train of thought sometimes went nowhere or my speech was too repetitive. I like talking about this ship, and would like to keep writing about more of my SG opinions, eventually. I hope this is enough to answer your question.

From @nr_hp183.

This Skullgirls Halloween was completely different. Sadly, I missed the deadline. Plus I did a different theme.

Last year I did Ms. Fortune as Ellis and it would be a crime against myself if I didn't follow up with Valentine as Nick from Left 4 Dead 2. Inspired by in-game Nick and Ellis voicelines.

[theanontrain]

▐▀▌ Valentine's story mode in Skullgirls is one of my favorites. Tragic, dark, with an underlying idea of hope. Feels very thematic to what Skullgirls is. So I did a sketch of Valentine being a dick to Painwheel.

It's also sorta funny how Valentine's plan requires her to tell Painwheel to 'git gud' every conversation.

It helps sell that 'depressing Skullheart/Skullgirl loop' that plagues the setting and affects the characters. Plus Carol ripping the mask off and taking the bonesaw was sick. I think Valentine uses weapons that The Last Hope used too so that's a cool parallel. ▐▀▌

[taecnoal]

I wanna kiss Valentine on her face and I want her to hold me she's fucking SIX FEET TALL
