DAILY RAMONA FLOWERS DAYS 39-43

Yeah, all art I have to show is the Ramona ones

Everyday I wish Ramona and Gideon interacted more in the anime (I created a whole plot about them and Julie in my mind)

[lakesparkles]

@quicksilverdaisyday gave me this idea of Stephen x Gideon (specifically in the movie-verse because that’s the only time they ever interacted in canon) and now it’s stuck in my brain aaaa

WAIT I LOVE IT!!

My favorite versions of both Gideon and Stephen are the movie ones, which makes it even better to me. Their personalities are so different and would be interesting together. And I always thought it was funny how much Stephen "admired" Gideon in the movie

Now I want to draw them hmmm I also have an art request here about Stephen and Gideon meeting after Gideon starts dating Julie, now I'm more motivated to do it (probably as a small comic)

[lakesparkles]

Is there any fun little things you can tell us about your Julie Powers vs the World AU? I would love to know more I am so invested in what you have so far ^^

Thank you for liking it so far :D This is surely the AU I'm having more fun doing rn!

Hm I admit that most things I figured out about the plot are some silly scenes I daydream about often lmao, but here are some ideas I had:

Julie doesn't have many friends and usually hangs out with Stephen's friends (aka Sex Bob-omb). She lowkey hates it and them in general, but it's how she met Scott - the person she was swapped with, in the first place. Scott works with Stephen (kinda similar with how it was in canon) and still lives with Wallace, but he throws many parties while he's out. He feels very bad for Gideon when he starts dating Julie because Scott is sure Julie is evil lmao

Talking about evil, I'm still unsure about what to do with Stephen, as he took both Envy and Knives place. Should he be... meaner? Idk, it kinda doesn't fit him

Julie and Envy's house is way bigger than Scott and Wallace's in canon because Envy is, well, famous and rich. So it's a surprise to Gideon the moment he meets Envy and finds out she spends most of her time drinking and being sad. Julie often comes home to find Envy sleeping on weird places around the house (never on her bed). Julie wants to help Envy to feel better, but she doesn't feel she's good enough for this.

About Sloane: like it was said on my last post about the AU, she's a private detective that is sure Gideon is a murderer. She thinks that because another of his exes, Riley, totally disappeared after breaking up with him. Gideon is sure he's not guilty of anything, but he never saw her again either

Okay, so I was thinking... In the original, there are seven exes but six volume thanks to the twins. How will I do the same in my AU: both of Gideon's exes are dating and working together now, that is it hehe

[lakesparkles]

Ohhh I need to reblog it on this account, I'm so glad my AU could inspire something as amazing as this one!!

I just read everything and I really love 1) the attention some side charcaters are getting here, especially Sandra ofc, you already made me care so much about her; 2) how you fit the canon story in a way here that makes so much sense, I especially like the Lynette and Todd part; 3) Gideon and Julie just being there to have fun and make everybody else's lives worse <3

please ignore how wonky the composition is LOL. i was inspired by @lakesparkles and his gravespowers swap au, soo. i decided to make a (kind of) similar one with sandra and envy!! its far less of a swap au and much more of just. what if envy's exes did the league instead of ramona's exes. a better explanation under the cut!!

so in this, ramona and scott (probably?) never met because scott went joker mode after the breakup with envy. he formed the “league” as a revenge plot but none of the other exes take it as seriously as he does. they’re mostly just there to bitch and, in julie and gideon’s case, have weird evil date night with each other

julie doesnt even really count herself as one of envys exes, but she’ll never turn down the opportunity to be a bitch, or to be a bitch with her boyfriend. she made out with envy in college like twice when they were roommates so she technically counts

scott and envy's relationship plays out pretty much how it does in canon, except instead of wallowing and eventually getting over it, scott gets super trapped in his head, and ends up merging with nega scott, except not in a "im accepting my past!" way, in a "i am never going to change and in fact i am going to become worse" way. he just sort of self-isolates and stews in anger until he hears about the clash at demonhead breaking up, when he gets the idea for the league. speaking of which.

todd and envy get back together after she breaks up with scott (its the same as in canon basically) except instead of todd cheating on her with lynette, envy cheats on him with lynette. for envy, it's just a way for her to release a little stress and cope with the fact that she's not happy in her relationship, but lynette sees it as an actual relationship. she'd been pining for envy ever since the band formed, and so when envy finally propositions her, it's like a dream come true. until todd finds out and envy defends herself by saying that lynette didn't mean anything to her, ruining her relationship with both of them and breaking up the band. todd and lynette hate each other now. todd hates lynette for sleeping with his girlfriend and lynette hates todd because he "got to envy before she could." and they both hate envy because she broke their hearts. (todd was never all that in love with her, he saw the relationship as more of a status thing, but like, it still sucks to get cheated on lmfao)

gideon and envy's relationship is pretty similar to in the comics? after the band broke up, she decided to pursue a solo career under gideon's label. it was all very nebulous and they never were officially dating or in a relationship or anything but it wasn't. normal. envy was into him, but only really into the status and the money. he was sort of who she wanted to be. gideon didn't particularly care about her, but he liked having control, and she was something he had control over. it was all very weird and undefined and toxic and she left his label and decided to become an independent musician. yayy

which leads us to the present, where envy and sandra meet after one of envy's shows. sandra is there with monique (duh) but also with stacey and idk. comeau i guess. he knows everyone. stacey and envy are still friends despite scott, and so envy joins them after the concert and sandra's pretty much instantly in love. she already had a celebrity crush on envy, but having her be Real and There just solidified it. she asks envy out that night (albeit very desperately and awkwardly) and envy figures, why not. oops the relationship kinda goes great and the gossip pipeline of stacey -> julie -> gideon -> scott happens and now. sandra has to fight envy's 5 evil exes! or at least, like, three of them. whatever

god that was longer than i thought it would be. if you read all that a) thank you and b) sorry

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START AHHHHHH

I saw this right after waking up today but only now I have time to comment, but pls know I already watched it around 20 times. THANK YOU FOR USING MY ANIMAL DESIGNS!!! They look perfect in your art style, I love how you do their expressions and movements, it made them look so real!

And the video itself omg the transitions and parallels (especially between Gideon and Scott), I live for this. AND THE ENDING, IT HAS TO BE MY FAVORITE PART! I'm gonna watch it many more times to understand everything

[lakesparkles]

I didn't have too much time to draw these last few days so I still don't have any art to post 😔

Meanwhile, feel free to send me asks - I would love to talk!

[lakesparkles]

I miss Inside Job 😔

[lakesparkles]

Coming back to this to say that the only thing I DON'T like about Goosepowers is how Ramona didn't matter in their plot

She should've been angrier about Julie, her friend, dating Gideon >:(

I'm seeing so much Goosepowers hate lately 😔

(I'm kinda sad but I'll let it motivate me to draw them more!!)

[lakesparkles]

I feel unwell about this dude

(don't ask what they're doing in the second one, idk either,,,)

[lakesparkles]

JULIE POWERS VS THE WORLD (part 2) (This is an AU I swapped Goosepowers and Scottmona, basically)

More information below:

And I finally finished these, it took a while… Well, of course the next thing I needed to do was design Ramona (but with her being as Gideon). I wasn't sure about her design at first, but I'm starting to like it more. My whole idea for the AU is that Gideon would gladly talk about all of his exes to Julie (in this case here, Ramona and Sloane), mostly explaining about how much "they were mean and terrible and ruined his whole life"! The thing is, when Julie meet that said exes, she hears theie side of the story and realize Gideon was never being truly sincere - and that he was an worse boyfriend than he'll ever admit. He's still Gideon, after all, I don't want to change this. The theme of the story will still be close to the original: is someone like Gideon able to change? Is it worth even trying to be with someone like him?

[lakesparkles]

That being said, I'm on the "love anime Gideon" team!! I could write an essay of why I like him, actually

I need to draw the silly more

I'm seeing so much Goosepowers hate lately 😔

(I'm kinda sad but I'll let it motivate me to draw them more!!)

your art is so so good and wholesome thank you for all the content you've made! can i request gideon/envy (or for that matter, gordon/natalie) ?

Thank you A LOT for your support lately, it's hard to put into words how much it means to me!!

And sorry for all the time I took to finish this one ^^' I like the idea of them meeting each other when they were younger (especially bc of all the parallels both have)

Not to make it about Julie, but imagine her with the saddest shiny eyes because her two crushes are interacting without her !!!
