*Shakes Flames Off Hand From Drawing And Editing So Much* Worth It! Here's The Project I've Been Working

I am glad you like it!! The feathers at the end were definitely something I was pretty proud of when brainstorming how to end the video, happy you think it's really neat! Your response was a great thing to wake up to! ^^

Now that I'm less tired, I realize I missed a fun fact in the tags (and I personally think it's an important one, silly me) ~

This format of this video was very much inspired by tea cløud's Beatophone warrior cats animation on Youtube :)

I am very entranced with it, the style is so cute ^^

*Shakes flames off hand from drawing and editing so much* Worth it! Here's the project I've been working on for your AU @farvaduvet :)

This is a short little tweened amv centered around Pit and Wilted Pit, and their insecurities. Very fun to draw and edit, half pain half fun to tween/animate, and an overall success! I experimented a lot and it turned out very close to how I envisioned it. Still some flaws here and there, but I really like how it turned out ^^

More about the video in my tags! I also am working on one more small video related to your AU. That one has no angst, it's just a really funny idea to me. You'll see :)

Song: Beatophone by Caravan Palace

The coolest pictures I took of the lunar eclipse :)

Here's the first concept sketch I made for another Kid Icarus AU :)

Idea: After the events of KIU, Pit starts to make some changes to his schedule and picks up a hobby, as per Dark Pit's suggestion. He becomes an inventor/craftsman with the help of Dyntos and makes himself and Pittoo a pair of functional wing enhancers made with pegasus feathers. The devices allow them both to fly on their own. Here Pit is watching Pittoo take off with his set of wing enhancers for the first time ^^

This AU is called Surface Pressure and Pegasus Feathers! (also the name of a fanfic I'm working on for it :)

The first part of the title is because it's fun to imagine the song "Surface Pressure" from Encanto as Pit venting to Dark Pit lol. I scripted an animatic, but decided showing how the lyrics relate though a fanfic would allow me to show this concept sooner lol)

More fun ideas in the fanfic:

-Pit and Dark Pit get pegasus friends and name them ^^

-The bois learn how to read & write

-Dark Pit is determined for Pit to find his own way to deal with his issues (and is also really good at persuasion)

-The fic is essentially about what it takes for Pit to fully learn "philautia" (regard for one's own happiness/self-love.) He has a lot of agape (Selfless/unconditional love), but it needs to be balanced :)

Designs:

Surface Pressure and Pegasus Feathers Chapter 1: Worth & Service (My Purpose) Ahh, nothing like a nice long morning stroll through Skyworl

Meme moment in the fic:

Here is the rest of this mini comic for my AU~

Pitpaw and Darkpaw are apprentices! (And 8 moons old, so somewhat close to the size of full grown cats, but still slightly smol. I will probably make full color references that better show their designs sometime :)

Now that Pitpaw is older and has shown to be a very promising and strong apprentice, he goes on a mission to finally confront Star Pantherblaze about kitnapping Darkkit. Palelight can also guide him telepathically when he needs the help, as they share a powerful connection that allows Palelight to see his path through his eyes.

He is very worried for Darkkit, as he stopped talking telepathically after month of being in CalamityClan. Pitpaw and Star Palelight talk about what may have happened to him, fearing the worst and hoping for the best.

He unexpectedly finds both Pantherblaze AND Darkpaw, and is shocked to see that he's allegedly chosen to serve CalamityClan / the Darkworld clans (this is a Dark Forest / Underworld word mix here). Palelight tells Pitpaw to be prepared to fight him.

Seeing that he has to fight his brother and tired of Star Pantherblaze's constant bossing him around, Darkpaw snaps and attacks her, knocking her off the tree and shoving her into the tall rock Pitpaw is standing on, which takes one of her lives (and possibly all of them.)

I did not want to draw a fight scene lol

Also Darkpaw sees what looks like a collar and immediately dubs his brother "Kittypit" lol. There are no kittypets on their island, but they know what they are :P (Darkpaw also doesn't have anything against them, but just really hates the idea of a collar.)

The twins run as fast they can out of CalamityClan and Pitpaw asks if Darkpaw will come back to LightClan with him, still hoping that he might, but also knowing that Darkpaw has probably made up his mind. And he has, no convincing can be done.

I like to imagine him saying he's "no clan's warrior" is this version of "servant to no other than himself". He's still a warrior that will live in a clan, but also not sworn to one in particular.

Which means that even though he's going to live in NatureClan, he's gonna be a future "Warrior of Nature", not a "NatureClan warrior". Star Vineblossom (Viridi) will just have to put up with this now xD

Extra facts:

-Due to the stress of having to put on a reluctant facade for his survival, Darkpaw's fur is not in the best condition. This is why his tail isn't very fluffy anymore :( (It will be better once he moves into NatureClan. It won't be as fluffy as Pitpaw's tail, but it'll be healthier ^^)

-Star Vineblossom will be Darkpaw's new mentor! Always take in the sassy lost child lol

Haha, glad you enjoy the headcanon too! :D

He is indeed the king of treat yo'self, self love is v important ^^

School threw a dent in my plans of drawing/editing this idea today, so I'm sharing this here cause I think you in particular might find it amusing too since you headcanon Dark Pit as Aro :)

I like to imagine that in modern times what Dark Pit does on Valentine's day is buy himself a TON of chocolate lol (There is tons of it, so why not)

The king deserves it

Here is the vine that prompted this headcanon lol: https://youtu.be/qFDmE3ePzW8 

(wish it was cut, but it's pretty hard to find lol. The vine is very relatable though xD)

SKJGDHJHFF NO YOU’RE SO CORRECT i love this lmaooo

he’s the king of treat yo’self

The idea that Viridi takes him in because he has a nature themed name and calls him by his full name to scold him is hilarious, and I love the sketches xD 

Thanks for the response! Love reading your ideas ^^

The project I'm working on for your AU might take a few days or so to complete so here's a random thought/question in the mean time :) ~

I saw that one post where you said if Pit's name were nature themed it'd be Petunia, cause it sounds like Pittoo-nia (lol). I thought it'd be extra funny if that were his first name and Pit is a nickname. How would he feel if his first name were Petunia? (I personally think it's cute, but if I were a character I wouldn't say that to his face :P)

honestly i don't know why i doubled back on that because Petunia is probably the most brilliant thing i've ever conceived of. i think it was because it would make naming canon Pit in this au kinda weird. like. Wilted Petunia is a little too on the nose?? and wordy. but if Pit is a nickname... hehehe...

but no imagine if the only reason Viridi ended up taking him in was because he had a nature themed name. simply for the aesthetic. like:

honestly i feel like 'pit' would be the mean-spirited nickname some of the other angels gave him back when he was a little guy living on Skyworld (since he couldn't fly and all) but then he ended up appropriating it for himself to 1. stick it to Skyworld's face and 2. because it sounds way less cutesy than Petunia. but ultimately, i don't think he cares much one way or the other. names aren't really a big deal to him. especially since he spent a good portion of his life so far wandering around alone in the wilderness. but viridi definitely uses his full name when she's trying to scold him lol

i think i was trying to write a one shot about how Pit and Viridi met at some point but i never finished it (as most of my one shots are wont to do)

Indeed! xD

An anti-fan club for Hades' design is definitely in order lol, I would join :P

(Fox-like creature represents me/my conscious, I plan to draw it as my icon another time)

This is picture is my thoughts rn lol

(Very minor Diakóptis chapter 28 spoiler) Was reading the new chapter of Diakóptis on ao3 and noticed a particular line that seemed.. familar. Hades knows, @farvaduvet Should any artist who agrees run perhaps? Maybe. The forth wall is non-existent. *Books it* 

My Kid Icarus NES AU in which Pit & DP are born twins. DP is called "Kyu" in this au. Another little video I made a while ago :]

Kyu & Pit experience battle and beating the heck out of every force in their way. These scrappy 8 year olds have both each other's backs and Grade A survival instincts, but after almost dying, they get a little bit annoyed and curse everything around them.

DARKPAW IN NATURECLAN HOURS :))

Top left: Darkpaw makes sure he's taken seriously upfront, whilst also sounding very ominous. Vineblossom is very confused oof, That moment when a child breaks into your home and announces he killed your enemy

Top right: Vineblossom is even more bewildered about his terms of living on her territory and only being identified as a "Warrior of Nature", but ends up accepting him anyway. The clan needs the help. (And she is also concerned for his health because of the state of his tail.)

[There's also a reference to Farvaduvet's "silly KIU AU" because Vineblossom would definitely give him a flower to wear and it would likely be a petunia lol]

Bottom left: That moment when you just sat down after doing chores but then someone asks you to do another task >:(

(Darkpaw is annoyed, and the flower suffers. Fun fact: Petunias represent soothing nature, resentment, and anger)

But look, the leaf is back! He found one like the one he wore when he was younger :)

(I imagine they use honey or treesap to put accessories on their fur. Or sheer force of will and artistic freedom)

Also, Serenemoon is Arlon. He will be drawn another time ^^

Bottom middle: NatureClan is known to tend to nature very often as part of their duties. Here, after showing him how to graft, Vineblossom supervises Darkpaw as he secures the new branch to the tree.

Vineblossom then starts thinking about how the tree was damaged and is bitter towards the rogues that invaded her clan and ended up trampling her plants and stealing prey. She is not fond of rogues at all. 

Darkpaw sees her staring into space, full of ire, and takes his turn now to be confused lol

Bottom right: Darkpaw goes on patrol with Lightningflash (Phosphora).

She often calls him a Fluffball of Darkness, so he shuts this conversation down immediately 

(He is a fluffball of darkness tho)

Illustration: Darkpaw rests in his den, tail fully recovered and looking healthier. Vineblossom passes by and is glad to see her apprentice feels comfortable being in this clan space a lot more than he ever was in CalamityClan :)

Here's a Murder Mystery I drew after the posting of MSA The Future 4 years ago! (WOAH)

Always ment to finish, revise, or redraw it, but never got to it. My plan was to post it back then, better late than never I guess! XD

Still cool to look back on! Currently working on my own short film for my senior year of college, time is wild ^^
