What if Lilo Pelekai and Mertle Edmonds were 15 and we're friends.
Mertle stopped being a horrible child/bully, her mother finally disciplining her daughter. Mertle is made to work at a part-time store, to learn how to make her own money. Lilo eventually forgives her after a couple of months, due to mertle giving her an actual apology and changing her behavior after suffering consequences.
Not becoming friends but neutrals at the time. Until later in life it's when they finally become friends, and stronger as time goes by.

All of these creations are absolutely beautiful and if you have not seen them yet I definitely recommend checking them out💫✨

I love this beautiful, over protective, anxiety filled, single teenage mother with all my heart, but oh mi gosh do I have trouble drawing him🥲
Nothing but respect to all those who can draw this adorable tough guy as an absolute savage with a proper snout, cause while drawing this I learned that I... Can not.
Same amount of absolute respect an admiration to those who don't get creative paralysis and can post every week and not just have random burst of "Hmmm, I suddenly don't want to do anything but draw now".

A massive crossover for the @tmntaucompetition with a bunch of iterations and aus we really like. Hopefully we can do more crossovers with ones we haven't yet. Also there's a bit of time between every interaction Raph has with someone, we weren't sure how to convey that :,D
I really enjoyed making this and creating their interactions; I hope I got their personalities right! I'm very sorry, it's really long!

Thank you for letting me draw them!
Did Mertle's friends ever become friends with Lilo?
Doverstar
Yes, they did! Under the “lilo’s college days” tag, you’ll see more info. Mertle, Yuki, Teresa, Elena, Lilo and Victoria all became a group of friends after their senior year of high school, right before they graduated hula. It started for Mertle specifically when her dad died and Lilo understood her grief and showed her compassion, in spite of the way Mertle had treated her over the years. After that, they very gradually became friends, Mertle swearing Lilo is her best friend, and it wasn’t hard for the other girls to follow her lead (because they never really disliked Lilo as vehemently as Mertle had anyway). They jokingly call themselves the CHGH now (Current Hawaiian Girls of Hawaii), and though Mertle and the girls can still be rude and shallow towards Lilo and Victoria, they’re all buddies and it’s a tight-knit group by the time they hit college-age. After all, they’ve known each other since they were 6.
In college, they all go to Honolulu University except for Yuki, who went to a different school to pursue a sports career. Yuki visited Honolulu sometimes to catch up with the girls on her breaks from school. Zeke Lau, Ani’s dad, is technically part of the friend group too, but they don’t include him as in the “CHGH” term for obvious reasons. Zeke’s bandmates and guy friends, Neal and Kale, sometimes hang out with the girls also.
So yes! Friends! Ohana, even! It just took growing up to get it right.
