Ngl the funniest part of Monsters University is the revelation that Randall doesn't squint all the time because he's suspicious and paranoid it's just that he can't see for shit
I made a birthday collage for Randall Boggs! I wanted to post this on his actual birthday, March 26th, but time kept getting away from me, so I guess that makes this a belated birthday collage.
This moodboard-collage completely coincides with my personal headcanon for Randall Boggs, so I'll explain a few things going on here.
I feel if Randall had kept Mike as a friend over Johnny, he would be a completely different person. This collage is more about Randall being a happy person surrounded by the people he loves and is grateful to have them in his life.
I made this collage from the POV of Randall, as if he made it for himself, like some sort of vision board. In my headcanon, Randall isn't evil and has been best friends with Mike and Sulley since kindergarten. So, in the picture on the top left, they went to college together.
The three pictures in a row on the bottom left are some of Randall's favorite things: a purple glittery bath bomb in the shape of a chocolate bar, purple DND dice, and a purple glitter eyeshadow palette. Randall is a very sweet and nerdy guy, and he likes baking, cake decorating, cosmetology, aromatherapy, and DND. He likes to make sweets, bath bombs, and scented candles for his friends.
The picture on the top right is of Merida DunBroch as her Disney Mirrorverse counterpart, for that was one of the versions of her I shipped Randall with. Randall and Merida started off as a crack ship and joke that started when I first began shipping Belle and Sulley, but I ended up liking their relationship dynamic way more than I should. Basically, Randall is a DND nerd with a thing for strong warrior barbarian archer women.
The picture on the bottom right is of Rex Boggs, Randall's nephew. I first discovered Rex in this book I was gifted called "Monsters Inc. Storybook Collection." Rex is one of the toddlers in the company's daycare program. Similar to his uncle, Rex can "disappear," but he has orange scales and only one frond, as opposed to Randall's purple scales and three fronds. So, in my headcanon, Randall helps his mother take care of Rex and takes him to work with him because his sister is in rehab.
You'll find pictures of cupcakes sprinkled throughout the collage because cupcakes are Randall's favorite baked goods. The "Winds of Change" poster is an actual poster that can be seen in Mike and on Randall's side of the dorm room in Monsters University. The poster is actually a reference to Randall himself, who mentions the phrase “winds of change” in Monsters Inc.
The red symbol above Rex's photo is the symbol of Aries Randall's zodiac sign. It literally says on his scare card that he's 5 feet, 0 inches tall, and his birthday is March 26th, making him an Aries~ ♈
drew this early this june :] i've headcannoned randall as bi for a long time but when i realized randall was even coloured like/in the same order as the bi flag sometime a year ago i lost my mind
So... Yes, I wanted to draw the purple reptile with a gala dress. It gives me Úrsula vibes, I feel that it looks good despite the curious idea. I accept suggestions and ideas of different characters to draw like this, next time I might bring Aku with a corset JSJSJS.
This crossover Pixar ship between Merida and Randall Boggs was created by @twisting-echo, who also ships Belle from Beauty and the Beast with Sulley. Making both cross Disney ships be of a Disney Princess x Pixar Monster. I wonder what other DP x PM ships she could come up with? I know that thaliasonata has crack-shipped some Monsters, Inc. monsters with characters from Encanto.
To be honest Monsters, Inc. wasn't my favourite Pixar film just as Randy here wasn't my favourite character, but I did enjoy Monsters University and was surprised how nice and awkward young college Randall was. I think that's why I have developed a bit of a soft spot for this ship. Twisting-Echo also stated that if Randy remained friends with Mikey and never started to resent Sulley, he might have never turned bad at all. Most of Twisting-Echo's edits and moodboards/collages have used MU Randy and Merida's cameo from Ralph Breaks the Internet, that's why I focused on those versions of them for the collage. It is a gift for @twisting-echo.
This ship has gone by "Meridall", "DunBoggs" and "Chase the Winds of Change".
