So for the bodyguard au wanted to make alternate designs for power ups based on incorporating them with shy guy masks and shy guy variants. Listen I will take any opportunity to make outfits for characters it is just so much fun!
Adding sketches on both how the mask works along with an example of a transformation sequence below the “keep reading” to avoid this post getting super long.
Quick edit before I forget I do plan on an alternate cat (super bell) power up that leans more into the cat aesthetic. I just wanted to design a more stealth/field outfit for him. I also have drafts for a knight design for the metal power up! Those are coming later though.
So I wanted to work on the setup that power ups aren’t readily accessible in the Darklands (with the exception of fire flowers and maybe boo shrooms). To counter this I’m going with the concept of fusing power ups with masks so they can be used multiple times (think Majora’s mask).
Currently working with the idea of while this does make the power up a bit weaker, as long as the mask isn’t broken or removed from the user the power up will stay in effect.
Also on how shy guy masks work with different faces this just goes with my headcanon that there are different things under each shy guy’s mask. Varying from some shy guys just having a void that stares back to horrifying appendages and the masks just cover these so they can all blend in together.
The transformation sequence wouldn’t happen every time a mask would be used, but I will never pass an opportunity to draw Luigi break dancing. (Btw the reference for this sequence was Deboshir’s dance when he was going off against Zip Rock, break dancing competitions are super cool and I highly recommend watching them). Anyhow this is super rough, but I hope it gets the general idea across.

Hi do you want to read all of Discworld but wow that's a lot of books and books are expensive? Humble has all 38 of them up for $18 in ebook format.
They also have smaller bundles, but $20 for 38 books is pretty good
EDIT: I put this in my tags, but realize I should put it in the actual body of the post; unfortunately this is only available in the US (BOOOOOO), and it's going on (I believe, they don't give an actual date that i could see, just a countdown) through January 21st

Dying your hair all by yourself handsome? (Alphonse)
It was about 11 o'clock at night when Boo woke up to use the bathroom. They had stayed at Alphonse's house for the night and noticed that the pinkett was not in the bed with them. What they don't expect, when they turned the corner to enter the bathroom, was to see him in the middle of a cotton candy colored crime scene.
"Oh uh- hey Boo! You're... You're up late" Alphonse froze where he was, being caught red, or shall I say pink handed.
"Al, sweetheart, what are you doing?" Boo sighed as they took in the scene in front of them. Alphonse was midway through dying his roots and was absolutely covered in pink hair dye.
"Well, I woke up to use the bathroom and noticed my roots had started to grow in so I uh, decided to have a late-night dying sesh" Alphonse tried his best to explain himself as he put down the brush full of hair dye.
Boo just shook their head and laughed before moving to sit on the closed toilet seat with a smile. "Dying your hair all by yourself handsome?" They giggled.
"Haha yeah," Alphonse chuckled along with them as he grabbed the brush to continue putting the pink dye in his hair.
As he was doing so, though, is when Boo noticed something.
"Uh, hey Al?" They asked while they got up to stand behind him.
"Yeah? What's up boo?" He asked, looking at them through the mirror.
"I think you missed a few spots with the bleach" Boo giggled as they looked closer at his hair. Sure enough, there were some of his roots that were black instead of the blonde that he was currently placing the pink goop on top of.
"Ah shit. I knew I missed a spot," Alphonse whined before turning his head slightly to look at boo. "Could you help me out, pretty please?"
Boo laughed at his puppy dog eyes before nodding their head. Alphonse sighed in relief before handing Boo a pair of gloves and the remaining bleach.
The two giggled and chatted as they worked on Alphonse's hair, Boo laughing at how ridiculous Alphonse looked in the plastic cap before they had a short tickle fight.
"Hey boo... You know... We got some bleach and pink left over..." Alphonse looked at Boo with a mischievous look on his face.
"Alphonse... What are you planning?" Boo looked at him with a warning look in their eyes.
"Well I'm just saying... We probably shouldn't let it go to waste so... Why not give yourself a new look?" Alphonse's grin grew as he spoke.
Boo only sighed as Alphonse goated them into dying their own hair. After a few more hours and a couple more tickle fights, the couple emerged from the bathroom with freshly dyed hair.
"Well, that was a lot of fun," Boo giggled before yawning.
"Yeah, but we should probably go to bed," Alphonse gave them a soft smile as they both walked towards his room.
They finally settled into bed, snuggled up together and ready to sleep after an eventful night of fun. The two dozed off, content in each other's arms.
The next morning
"Oh shit, Boo did you forget to wash all the dye out of your hair?"
"...whoops!"
"Dang it, now my pillow's pink!"
"hehehehe, sorry!"
