Random Doodling Of Concepts For Alternate Hornet And Quirrel Designs…

The Teacher and the Apprentice

Omg this game has me so addicted, I swear. I always love finding new games (and a new Boi™) to obsess over.

Inking practice with a fandomless OC of mine, Nariko Nishimura. Very happy with the results! 💕

DID SOMEONE SAY AU’S???

This spawned from an AU I’m writing with a friend over on my RP blog, and is the exact reason you should never hand me AUs. Because I will start doodling and never see the light of day again. 

This is an AU that takes place after the fight with Mustache Girl. When Hat Kid turned back time to change the world back to normal, the Conductor didn’t revive with the other characters. She bends the rules to bring him back, but (unknowingly at first) turns the Conductor into a time paradox, who now exists and doesn’t exist at the same time. The Conductor has retained all of his past memories, but every trace of his existence on the planet has been completely erased, to the point where Hat Kid is the only person who remembers him or who he was in his past life. As the days go by, Hat Kid and the Conductor slowly begin to realize what’s happening in this altered timeline and how much it’s changing who they are.

The idea’s not totally fleshed out yet (we just made this not too long ago) but I was so in love with the idea that I had to make up a concept art doodle for it~ Hope you like my bird boy in his cool new get-up!

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┻━┻

Okay, just hear me out

Undyne for Smash

TOBY MAKE IT HAPPEN

It’s one thing that I’m accident-prone IRL. It’s another thing when I’m accident prone in-game, too. I wish I could say that this is the only time something like this has happened, but... it’s not XD

Want to watch me flub my way through some games? Come join us on Twitch!

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~!

Rito snuggles~! 🦅🦉💕 because who doesn’t love a peck on the cheek from a Rito?

It's been a hot minute since I've been able to do anything as far as either writing or drawing, so I'm gonna toss a doodle I did a while ago of me and my stream companion Enigma as Bug Fables characters ♥

Headcanon: Monomon, Queen of the Oomas/Uomas

Monomon is the “Queen” of the jellyfish creatures that inhabit the Fog Canyon, but not in the traditional sense. She does not have a monarchy that she governs—She is the “Queen” that her “hive” serves and protects.

Like normal jellyfish, the oomas and uomas are like a bundles of nerves. They cannot see or hear, but they react to changing stimuli in the environment. The only one among them able to think independently, to see and hear the world around them: their queen, Monomon.

Before the rise of the Pale King, Monomon was incapable of higher thought. However, she was clearly more intelligent than the primal beasts that roamed the depths. She had a very strong sense of curiosity, which the King learned when he’d found a hidden stash of tomes and journals in her possession. Inspired by her desire to learn, he granted her higher thoughts along with the other bugs of Hallownest.

With her mind expanded, Monomon began to learn as much as she could about the world around her, including the nature of her jellies. She knew that they would respond to her mental state, but she didn’t know the specifics. There was clearly a pattern they would follow depending on her emotional state:

When she was happy or excited, they would gravitate to her and cling to anything around her. Her theory was that they wished to partake in whatever was causing her joy.

When she was upset, they would grab anything around them and bring it to her. She believed they are trying to cheer her up by presenting her with gifts.

When she is scared/angry, they turn hostile and attack anything that draws near. This seems to be a primal instinct to protect the queen when she senses danger.

It wasn’t until she took on her apprentice, Quirrel, that she was able to learn more about their behaviors. Since they behaved in response to her, there was no way for her to see how they reacted without her presence. But with Quirrel able to study them away from Monomon, he learned that the strength of the reactions that the jellies had was entirely dependent on their distance from Monomon. The further they were from her, the weaker their reaction. This has led Monomon to believe that she is unknowingly emitting pheromones out into the environment that they are sensing and responding to.

With this knowledge in hand, Monomon began an experiment to see if she could teach any of the jellies to ignore her pull or think somewhat independently of her. This would eventually lead to the creation of Uumuu—a being that was created solely for security purposes. It would be able to ignore her pulls so that it could remain vigilant, and had been taught to identify threats without Monomon having to identify them as such beforehand.

When Monomon became a Dreamer and was sealed away, it turned the Oomas/Uomas completely docile. Without their queen to guide them, they merely drift aimlessly, awaiting the call of their queen once more. The only exception: Uumuu, who still spends their days guarding the sleeping Monomon from any intruders who dare try to wake her. But with the infection slowly overcoming it, and without Monomon’s guiding tentacle, Uumuu has lost the capability to differentiate friend and foe. Even in the presence of a familiar face, it can only follow what it was trained to do:

Protect Monomon at all cost.
