Ohhhhhh!!! I absolutely love the "Hello Neighbor" story you've written, the tone of Ms. Valencia is so on point! But I am curious, where did you get the inspiration that she is involved with Lady Trudy? I didn't really get that vibe reading through BKMN but you executed on the idea wonderfully. I hope you have a wonderful day!
first off: thank you so much for liking my fic!! i'm always happy to hear what people think of my work so this message really made my day 🧡💛🧡💛
as for where the idea came from, it was mainly from @weirdalfemme, @entitybear, and i talking about specific scenes from the book involving her! (explained under readmore)
the main scene in the book that made this come about was her talk with tillman where she seemed to know a lot more than she should, and it being told to her through her "flamingo." this occurred in between his first dream with trudy and him being indoctrinated into the cult. the way her "flamingo" talked to her, paired with tillman's twisted vision of the flamingo seems to me that there was more than she was letting on. (i also find it interesting that the flamingo had "she" pronouns like trudy, though that may just be coincidence.)
this is further fueled by the fact that miss v also said direct lines that were in tillman's trudy dream/vision after getting knocked out by rarold (to which he was alarmed by in the second page above)
I've been loving Rarold for 16 months now and for that I wanted to make a little comic based on my headcanons and stuff! Been working on it for days, I wanted it to be special and accurate! I love Rarold a LOT! Enjoy this short story about him. 🌽💖
BONUS: Mousey and Rarold's 1979 design, it was a blast and so much fun for me to imagine how they could look a bit older... I think there's something beautiful at imagining how characters could be in the future y'know? So much possibilities!! 🥔🌽
...And yes. Mousey was already wearing crocs all the way back in 1979 when it actually was created in the 2000s. They truly were ahead of their time!!
