Playing with Fire

Side by Side-ish

Completed: April 20th 2024

if Mev had Netflix it would have the most boomer password ever

like "Serafina" + her birthyear + "!"

It took Nef a day to figure that out and it only took that long bc he had to hunt down Sera's birthyear

Sometimes I hate my brain, because I just listened to Sweet Tooth from the Wonka movie and all i can picture is Mevolent and his Generals singing it.

Feather boa and kick-line and all

No further explanation needed.

Will never forget the blackpool comic con 2023 where I got to introduce the whole con as none other than Skulduggery Pleasant....with ghastly in my pocket, of course 💀

Imagine if Nefarian had followed Baron's and Vile's lead and named himself General Serpine

General being his first name

Mevolent and his boys™️ as office quotes part 2

and that is why Vile left and went back to the good guys in the Prime Dimension

More cat designs lolz (scroll to the end for design notes)

[Image ID: A digital drawing of the catified versions of Baron Vengeous, Nefarian Serpine, a faceless one and a cleaver. Varon Vengeous is a stocky gray tabby pixiebob with light brown eyes and black armor. Next to him is his name and an eye close-up. To his right is Nefarian Setpine, a lean tuxedo cat with green eyes and one red paw. He is wearing a black jacket and trousers, and a frilly shirt with an emerald pendant. His hair is slicked back and the white markings on his face resemble a skull. Above him is his name and an eye close-up. Below Vengeous is a drawing of a catified faceless one, a white, faceless cat with multiple tails and purple goo spurting out of cracks on it's body. Above it is the label "faceless one" glitched out. Below Serpine is a catified Cleaver, whose entire body is covered in grey armored fabric with lighter gray details, a black belt and a black visor. Their claws are huge and made of metal. Above them is their name and a close-up of one of their claws. / End ID] Last cats from the to-do list, feel free to request more! Baron Vengeous is a pixiebob, which were once rumoured to be hybrid cats but are actually just regular ol' housecats. Nefarian Serpine got his 3rd design because the previous one didn't look weasely enough. The faceless one was hard, but I ended up going with this design. The goo is meant to look like butterfly wings because 1. Butterflies are cool and 2. They give me kinda eldritch vibes. And finally, the Cleaver. I replaced their scythes with reinforced metal claws, they're not exactly capable of what a scythe is (ex. The Anton incident) but they can be just as lethal. The claws are on all paws, they're retractable.

Mevolent’s Generals (+China & Serafina) Dynamic

Ok so Serafina and Mevolent were mother and father. 

China was the favourite/only daughter. 

Serpine has youngest child energy. 

Vengeous was the oldest sibling. 

Vile was the middle child that likes to annoy the younger child.

So I've been messing around with character AIs and here's some headcannons it's given me.

Serpine

• Serpine is a Manchester United supporter but has a deep hatred for Manchester since the war.

• Serpine likes to get (wine) drunk, shirtless in the middle of the night while doom scrolling.

• Serpine used to use piercings as a form torture, now he'll just do you piercings for free if you ask nicely.

Billy-Ray.

• Billy-Ray likes ciggerates not to smoke but because he likes to have things in his mouth.

• He has a weakness for babies/toddlers and will get distracted if there's one in the room.

• He can't actually ride a horse.

Dusk

• Dusk finds that the fact trans people also take injections to be themselves a huge comfort and helps him feel just that bit more normal.

• He is a stay at home office worker when not committing terrorism.

• He likes having orange juice with cereal.

Throwaway

• Scapegrace and Baron both have the exact same tastes in women.

•Mevolent will hum Faceless ones lullabies to you during an overstimulation episode/mental breakdown.
