That welcome home thing reminded me of my own character I made a few years ago named Hayley
She's a little 7yo scarecrow kid who would feature in books for little kids!! While a lot of her stories have that Halloween/fall vibes it's not a horror and very based on vibes similar to The Great Pumpkin, Casper, Scary Godmother, Ruby Gloom, and other cutesy Halloween media for kids!!!

seeing this ask on my dash and I'm reminded of your art and holy shit. have u ever done any more of those Brazilian inspired fantasy art?
Not as much as I should!! ahhhh I've been thinking about it actually, on drawing more BR monsters and such, cause we have a lot of cool ones in our roster!
On the other hand, I'm always throwing BR stuff here and there in my work, even if it's not so obvious!
My main OC Jupiter is meant to be Brazilian/Brazilian adjacent, her name is written and read almost the same way in PT-BR ("Júpiter")
There's also Persie, my other OC, who is also BR, she's black/BR-indigenous - I drew her before as a kid, wearing Karajá accessories
And my most recent OCs, from drizzle/LAND! They are like a "Japanese idol group" sort of thing but they have LOTS of BR easter eggs going on!
"drizzle land" is a direct reference/translation of "Terra da Garoa", the epithet of the city of São Paulo, where I was born; it was called like that because it used to rain/drizzle all the time here (hello global warming *laughs nervously*)
Their above album is called "Under the Silver Rain", a reference to a BR song called "Chuva de Prata" ("Silver Rain"), famous in the voice of singer Gal Costa. I have other names for drizzle/LAND's albums in their discography, and they are all references to Brazilian Music - "Sunflowers in the Color of Your Hair" (Um Girassol da Cor de Seu Cabelo, song by Clube da Esquina), "Dance of the Butterflies" ("Dança das Borboletas" by Zé Ramalho, especially his version with Sepultura lmao) and "A Forest Named Solitude" (ref to a famous BR nursery rhyme, Se Essa Rua Fosse Minha)
AME/haru (her stage name) is Brazilian-Japanese; her real full name is Íris Santana Fujioka, reflecting her BR background, Íris is kind of a rare name here, but like not super unheard of; and "Santana" is a pretty common last name here~
Her sketchbook has the sticker of a BR meme in it lmao it's the version of it drawn by BR artist WillTirando, bc I have that exact same sticker on one of my sketchbooks sdhjfgsjhdgfjhsdf
ANYWAY! Not exactly the answer you were looking for, but I hope the other refs/easter eggs were fun enough hehe
Scary pirate town. You’re entering from the docks into a lawless place at night. It’s dark and creepy and there's narrow alleys and shadowed corners and you’re just strolling the streets. You’re also following a band of ne’er-do-wells that cause trouble through the house. They’re charging the people passing through, robbing, killing, all the typical pirate gore. There's sword fights. At one point you hear an explosion and screams in the difference. Scenes begin to fill with fire as the mischief makers bring mutiny and a good old pirate raid to Darktow. You're now fighting your way back to the docs through scenes of chaos and calamity. Buildings are on fire, there's fights in the streets. Magic being flung through the air. The end scene is a ship to ship battle, with a ship on either side of the walkway and spells and weapons being fired across. You’re escaping down the dock towards another ship (safety). Pirates swing across over-head. The exit leads you onto the ship, down into the belly of the ship, then transitions back to the real world.
