LEMI’S II DESIGN HEADCANONS! (S1 EDITION)

With a detailed description on my designs for all sixteen contestants from Season One! This will be a pretty lengthy post, but I would appreciate it if you read it till the end! There’s a little something at the bottom!

THIS CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR SEASON ONE AS WELL AS SPOILERS FOR MULTIPLE EPISODES THROUGHOUT II (SUCH AS THE II2 FINALE!)

the top 4, the menu squad! <3 OJ, Taco, Paper and Pickle!

#1. OJ 🍊

After winning the prize and buying a hotel, he has been really overworked lately. This dude does NOT get any sleep. His eyesight deteriorates in the process (like me!) so I gave him eyeglasses! I used Paper’s representative color as the base for the glasses. They’re also… glasses shaped! Glasses glasses! I’ve done this to one of my OCs before, and I got some positive feedback that it was a genius design choice, so I implemented that onto my favorite II character!

He wears an orange slice, a multicolored straw, an orange necktie, and a little umbrella! He chose to wear the orange slice himself, while the rest comes from the other members of the Menu Squad!

The necktie came first, which comes from Paper! He has worn it ever since he first bought the hotel. More details in Paper’s description.

The straw comes from Pickle! Originally based from the bending straws that they won during an elimination, and from the HC I have of the Menu Squad all being friends back in Season One, Pickle made OJ a straw accessory with colors that “he’d look good in”. Though the yellow parts of the straw (Taco’s representative color) was not intended to be about Taco (and more of the fact that he’d “look good in yellow”), Pickle did think about Taco on accident while making OJ the straw (as he made it when they were still separated from Taco). Her representative color is separated from OJ’s representative color orange.

Lastly, the umbrella accessory comes from Taco! Being given to him post-II18 when they get a tiny bit closer, she got inspired by Pickle’s gift and decided to make something similar.

His eyes are shaped like glasses, and his green eye shines are the same shape.

#2. Taco 🌮

Taco’s original Invisibow is long gone as she placed it on MePad’s grave, but with her experience with technology (aaand maybe a bit of pleading and apologizing to Test Tube), she made something similar, hoping that “it would be useful in the future”. But never once has she actually pressed the button for her to turn invisible again, and restrained herself to using it for emergencies only. But for now, it’s a cosmetic ribbon! With memories from the Menu Squad using stripes with their representative colors, and using the original black color as a reminder from Microphone.

Her lettuce has now been neatly arranged post-II18, but it has been withering beforehand. I gave her tomato earrings, too.

I’d like to think her S1 persona had a little lemon sticking out of it. Maybe she kept her extra emergency lemon there. But it now got lost in the MeAfterlife. Oof.

It isn’t obvious because I didn’t incorporate it into her design, but after her “stress death” in S2E15, the crack on her eye has disappeared after her regeneration. In turn, it is more likely to crack again, and it is more fragile. Her eyesight on the affected eye is also a bit blurry.

Her eyes are shaped like semicircles, and so are her green eye shines (notably the same color as her lettuce.)

#3. Paper 📄

He is the only character in the S1 cast with two outline colors due to him sharing a body with Looseleaf / Evil Paper! He has a fold that unfolds when Looseleaf fronts, slightly resembling a tiny horn. (He likes it.) His outline becomes completely red when Looseleaf fronts, too.

Unlike OJ, his eyeglasses are reading glasses. As I also mentioned in OJ’s description, OJ’s tie is a gift from Paper! In turn, OJ is the one that scribbled on a bowtie for Paper as a parallel!

He has menu-colored rings on his punch holes that he originally got near the end of S1 when the Menu Squad was still together. After S1, he temporarily took off the yellow ring (Taco’s representative color), but put it back on post-finale as “he doesn’t have much resentment against her anymore”. The ring is a bit open, but it’s still intact.

He has different kinds of doodles on him before the finale, but the Menu Squad version of his design has green stars (Pickle), yellow sparkles (Taco) and orange hearts! (OJ)

His mouth is doodled instead of having an inside! How is he able to eat, you may ask? I don’t know either! II logic?

He has rectangular eyes and heterochromia! Red and blue eyes + eye shines like his outline!

#4. Pickle 🥒

He has multiple scars on his body, including the scar on his body from Looseleaf during Inanimate Smackdown, and on his eye from Taco during Aquatic Conflict.

He carries around a pair of headphones that he designed himself back in S1. He couldn’t bother to replace it after Taco’s betrayal. He sometimes uses it for video games and music.

The headphones have yellow triangle patters on one side, and orange + blue rectangle patterns on the other! It should be said that the yellow patterns are on the same side as his scarred eye.

He has elliptical eyes with yellow eye shines— the scarred eye has a fainter shine.

mansion throuple plus the bomb! Bow, Apple, Marsh and Bomb!

#5. Bow 🎀

Added little ribbon tails! I own a hair bow myself, so I made her look a bit like it!

Tiny little hearts around her design, I think she’d like them!

She has her own hair bow. A bow with a bow. She matches with Apple and Marsh!

Her ghost form is more sharp and messy, with sharper edges, eyelashes and with broken hearts around her.

She has circular eyes (similar to her bow knot) and sharp eyelashes and tiny bottom lashes, with light pink eye shines, which become hollow once turning into a ghost.

#6. Apple 🍎

Freckles! A personal design choice!

Has a green bow on her stem. She matches with Bow and Marsh!

Her bandage on her face comes from the scar she got when she got split in half in Inanimate Smackdown.

The bite is supposed to be a design choice, but I’d like to think it was the effects of her being stabbed by Knife when she first debuted. Also might be the reason why she’s so air-headed as a portion of her head is torn off.

Semicircular eyes (like an apple slice) with green, apple-shaped eye shines.

#7. Marshmallow ◻️

She still has a few burn marks around even though she has been recovered from time to time, but they’re starting to fade.

Has a light blue bow, matching with Bow and Apple!

Thick rectangular eyes with rectangular bottom eyelashes as well. Light blue eye shines shaped like marshmallows.

#8. Bomb 💣

Has a neckerchief with fire designs, because he’d think they’re cool.

Made his string a bit longer than in canon. Sometimes he’d tie them into different knots.

Circular eyes (like the shape of a bomb), and red eye shines.

the flying buddies and the BCFFs! PB, Salt, LB and Pepper!

#9. Paintbrush 🖌️

People often water Paintbrush down as “the non-binary character”, but I figured that their gender identity is a core part in their arc, so I put a tiny NB-colored tie on their handle instead of putting the colors everywhere on the design. I guess non-binary colored Paintbrush could work for Pride Month arts! But I’d like to give more room on their bond with the core Lights.

In S2, they have more paint on their face and their hair (bristles!) with the colors of the other core Bright Lights! (if you look close enough, you can see Lightbulb’s color, it just blended in with the hair color!)

Triangular eyes, orange eye shines, and triangle eyebrows!

#10. Salt 🧂🤍

Pink heart-shaped pin with a purple “S” initial! There are also a few purple stripes on it. Salt and Pepper were meant to always be a duo, so I wanted to delve on that through the pins.

There isn’t too much to add on her and Pepper’s designs, but I found a way to differentiate their silhouettes more! (see: Pepper.)

Rounded trapezoidal eyes (like a salt shaker), with pink trapezoidal eye shines, similarly shaped eyelashes and long bottom lashes! (Also see Pepper’s description for more!)

#11. Lightbulb 💡

Star pins! I could’ve made them stickers instead, but I’d like to think they light up as well.

Round eyes and eyebrows, with rounded eyelashes! She has stars on her cheeks and on her eyelashes as well! She has bright yellow eye shines

In S2, she has bracelets of the core Bright Lights, with a few charms for her other Lights as well!

It isn’t shown in her design, but she has the Team Epic and Bright Lights stickers on her back! Proud of her for being the leader twice!

#12. Pepper 🧂🖤

Being dubbed “The Wannabe” by MePhone4, her design is more like a derivative of Salt’s. (I based Pepper’s design on Salt, actually! Post-finale, she gets to try more accessories on her that fits herself more. Maybe another time!)

Purple star-shaped pin with a pink “P” initial, with a few pink stripes on it!

Pepper has a thinner form than Salt. Her colors, aside from her base color, are darker than Salt’s as well.

Rounded trapezoidal eyes (like a pepper shaker), with purple trapezoidal eye shines, tinier eyelashes and shorter bottom lashes! More of the trend follower that MePhone sees.

the grand slam veterans! Balloon, Nickel, Knife and Baseball!

#13. Balloon 🎈

He has freckles! This was based on how balloons can be popped so easily, so it left a few marks on his face.

In S2, he gets a string on his tail from Suitcase!

In S3, he gets a grey patch from Nickel! Aftermath of Great Bluish Bake-Off, perhaps?

A generally rounded face! Round eyes, eyebrows and light red eye shines.

#14. Nickel 🪙

A white cap with a green brim, matching with Baseball! By S2, he gets the Grand Slams logo in the middle of it. At the start of S3, this becomes The Sinkers logo instead.

Added a couple ridges on his sides that is more accurate to a coin — a nickel, rather.

Circular eyes (like himself) with green eye shines.

#15. Knife 🔪

Has a chipped blade — similar to some knives.

Slimmer blade compared to his canon design, to look more like a knife. Sorry, MePhone.

Added those three white circles that you see in knife handles that support the blade and the handle together.

By S2, he gets more scratches on his handle and his face.

Sharp eyes and eyebrows with dark blue eye shines. This becomes a hollow light blue in his ghost form— he also has sharp bottom lashes, and loses all the scratches on his body. The one on his face remains, as it brings something to his ‘jerk’ persona.

#16. Baseball ⚾️

A white cap with a red brim, matching with Nickel! He started adding designs to it by S2, when he became the leader of the Grand Slams. He has the logo on the middle.

He also has the Grand Slams and Team Epic logos as stickers on his side.

He has freckles, thick eyebrows and circular eyes with red eye shines

You’ve reached the end of the post! Making designs for 16 characters is exhausting, but I enjoyed making them! Next time, I’ll do the S2 newbies!

To those who have reached the end, I have a question:

THANK YOU FOR READING!!! Reblogs are appreciated!
