Headcanon That Herrah Can't Remember Quirrel's Name, Just That It Starts With A Q. So She Just Calls

For anyone who saw my picture of DJ Grooves and the Conductor that I uploaded a while ago, these are a few of the individual frames that are hidden in the film reels in the picture! This is also the main reason why the picture took a while for me to finish. Nearly every frame was drawn as its own picture and then added and cropped accordingly. I had a lot of fun messing around with lighting effects on these pictures! 

Hands down, Battle of the Birds is my favorite chapter in this whole game. Which chapter was your favorite?

So I’ve got a RP blog for the Conductor, and in order to develop his character I had to give him a wife. ‘Cause, ya know, those babies had to come from somewhere. Now that I’ve made her and have been thinking about the relationship they would have had I just... can’t stop thinking about it shdjkfhlskfs

So enjoy my doodles and sketches of an owl couple being uber adorable together~ Because YES.

Her name is Scarlet, btw~

Screw you and your cringe culture *Yeets a lovechild atchu*

When the depression hits hard and you gotta draw your OTP with their lovechild to make you feel better.

Anyway, have some quirrelmon with Qi, my lovechild for them

Happy 5-year anniversary to Bug Fables~! I sadly didn’t have a pic doodled so I hope y’all will take this preview of Fractured Shell’s next update as compensation, lol

Thanks for all the fun memories and inspiration, Moonsprout Games~!

Random Leif doodle to practice some coloring/shading

As a random aside, every time I draw Leif my brothers call him Spiderman, and I stgif they do it again I'm gonna yeet them both out the window (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻

Drag me in, take me under (The waves shall claim me)

The White Lady - The Goddess of Fertility

Aight, so this might be just a random midnight headcanon that crossed my mind, but I had to share it because the White Lady is refusing to leave my mind:

The White Lady was the Goddess of Fertility within Hallownest. While yes, bugs have been able to reproduce long before she appeared, her presence had an influence not on bugs' capabilities to reproduce, but she inadvertently also had an influence on societal norms surrounding romance/intimacy.

Before the White Lady had appeared, it was an unspoken societal rule that bugs did not mingle with other species. Though it had initially sprung up as a "you can't reproduce with someone outside of your species" mindset, it evolved into bugs being ostracized if they were to fall in love with one outside of their species. Those who did intermingle were oftentimes alienated by other bugs as a result. This also left many interspecies couples to struggle with starting families, as many would not allow them to adopt as it would "damage the mental health of the child."

When the White Lady appeared, she was saddened by all of these societal rules. As the goddess of fertility, she wanted everyone to know the joy that offspring could bring. So, as her gift to Hallownest, she blessed the kingdom's denizens by giving bugs the ability to bear children with others outside of their species.

However, her gift was not accepted as swiftly as she hoped. Many were still convinced that those interspecies children would grow up damaged, and those that had interspecies families felt as though they had to hide their families to avoid scrutiny as well as potential physical and mental danger that coming out would cause.

Because of this (and with the Pale King's permission) she made it very public about the children that they bore. She hoped that she could lead by example and help to change the mindset of the bugs of Hallownest. However, the bugs saw these two as an exception, as the Pale King and her were both higher beings, and as a result were exempt from the rules of society.

It wasn't until Hornet was born that the true shift began. While the bargain between the Pale King and Herrah was merely for political reasons, those outside who did not know of the deal began believing that the Pale King had bore a child with the Spider Queen because so many were rejecting his wife's gift. They believed he wanted to show the world that it was no longer taboo, and because he was so revered by people, the shift in mentality began happening much quicker. They were even more convinced after Hornet grew up, as she had grown up to be a normal girl--or as normal as she could being a princess and daughter of the Pale King.

(side note: It was also because of the White Lady that the Pale King and Herrah were able to bear a child together. She hoped that the child born between them would help bugs to accept one another no matter who they loved.)

As time passed, it became much more common to see interspecies couples. By the present time, it became a cultural norm in Hallownest, though many had forgotten by then that it was the White Lady's influence that allowed such things (as they'd forgotten about her and the Pale King by that time).

By the time the Kingdom began to crumble at the hands of the Radiance, the dwindling population made the White Lady start to lose control and become overcome by her more basic instincts. As the Goddess of Fertility, her body began to respond to the dwindling population by an uncontrollable urge to repopulate herself. However, knowing that she would not be able to care for those offspring and that they would become more fodder for the Radiance, she bound herself within her gardens. She prays that soon her urges will subside and that she may one day be able to return to the Kingdom she once knew...

Did myself a little color palette challenge with the HK characters~! The colors are from @color-palettes and were chosen based on which title matched each character.

Ghost - The Moon's Sea of Blood Hollow - Crushed Under a Terrible Weight (did add one extra color to this one) Hornet - Bloodwoven Quirrel - Do You Have Any of Her Memories?

A wish so powerful, it would rewrite the very fabric of space and time...

Behold! My Goddess Madoka cosplay! This has been my most recent cosplay labor of love. I had so much fun creating Goddess Madoka. This was a cosplay that I allowed myself to not be quite as tightly bound to the OG character design as I normally am, which gave me the chance to experiment with fun accents and additions to this costume. I'll also admit, I had quite a blast playing with all the lace that was integrated into this costume.

This is my third cosplay for Madoka Magica, alongside Akemi Homura and Alina Gray (from the spinoff Magia Record). I absolutely adore this series and would implore you to check it out if you haven't already. It's easily binge-able in an evening and it will definitely tug at your heartstrings!
