My friends and I have been playing we happy few and made our own OCs!!
This is Fitz Shenanigans, a comedian in Wellington Wells. His favorite flavor of joy WAS vanilla before discovering that it made him sick. Now he takes sunshine (an illegal drug that mimics the effects of joy) to avoid being sent to the garden district.
“Oh dear, I’m afraid we’ve come to the end of our time.”
dumb rambles under the cut
so it’s not a fully fledged idea, but the more i think about this the more amused i am by a we happy few tsp au. there are two directions that could go—my first idea, which is that narry dragged stanley and the player into we happy few the same way he did portal, minecraft, firewatch etc etc. of course the world itself is empty because it always is, but instead of hearing his voice in your head all the time he would purposefully make himself heard through the speakers or through a glitching television. (this is my personal favorite bc i can totally imagine narry going full drama kid with this one, even though he hates open world games. (“At least this one is sensible enough to lock off certain areas. God forbid you wander off!”)
and of course the second idea is just an au where they live in that world, probably with narry being a replacement for uncle jack and stanley for… arthur, probably? maximum shenanigans ensue.
I pushed this drawing back for too long and decided to finally finish it. Plus, I needed to redeem myself from that ugly drawing from almost a year ago lol
One of my favorite scenes from the game is when Arthur tells Sally that, in the strangest way, she’s one of the few innocent people he knows. I thought about that line a lot while drawing this.
and here's the art from today's video, a redraw of another old we happy few zine piece while i work to recreate all of them and then get started on some new ones! old version for comparison
