I don't think anyone has Making Fiends thoughts anymore, but here's one:
A lot of fanon in the show's heyday had Vendetta's parents characterized as formerly abusive and potentially the reason why she was so cruel, only having been reigned in by her shrinking them down and caging them.
I don't think this was the case. I think they were well-meaning people whose greatest sin was a little parental ineptitude and probably also overindulgence of their daughter. I think they genuinely loved her, but were unprepared for her being such a mean little shit and didn't do enough to try and help her find a better outlet for her impulses.
idk I get weird about parents bc my parents are fucked up people, but those two seemed genuinely sweet

OC Interviews
Hey Guys! I was tagged recently by @carlosoliveiraa, but was also tagged a while ago by @henbased, @nightbloodbix, and @katsigian. (I think I got everyone who tagged me last time.
Tagging (Opt out/in here): @amalkavian, @bbrocklesnar, @marivenah, @clicheantagonist, @socially-awkward-skeleton, @theelderhazelnut, @captmactavish, @alexxmason, @captastra, @cassietrn, @strangefable, @direwombat, @fourlittleseedlings and anyone else who wants to do this!
Blue Murphy
Name: Jay Casey Murphy Nickname: Family and Close Friends call them Blue Jay while most others call them Blue. They're also called Deputy, Dep, Rookie, and Rook in Hope County. Eden's Gate occasionally refers to them as wrath. Gender: Genderfluid (They/Them) Star Sign: Aries Personality Type: Chaotic Good Height: 5’6 ft Orientation: Bisexual Nationality/Ethnicity: American (Blue is originally from West Virginia, but spent most of their adulthood in Colorado before moving to Hope County, Montana.) Favorite Fruit: Mangoes. Blue has a bit of a sweet tooth. Favorite Season: Winter. They think mountains always look great covered in snow and love to go hiking in snowy parts. Blue is also a snowboarder, and winter is the perfect time for that. Favorite Scent: Pine Tree Needles Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate: Hot Chocolate with lots of marshmallows and whipped cream. Average Hours of Sleep: Before Hope County, roughly 6-8 hours. After the reaping kicks off, Blue’s average hours of sleep varies. Dogs or Cats: Both. They love Boomer and Peaches equally, spoiling both animals. Dream Trip: Kicking Horse. They've heard wild things about the slopes, and Blue would love to try them out someday. Number of Blankets: One. Before Hope County, Blue had a nice quilt that they slept with. Before the Reaping, Blue sent that quilt along with most of their things back to Colorado. Random Fact: I might have said this before, but Blue's favorite time of day is dawn. Something about watching the sun rise makes them feel happy to be alive.
Rooney Shepard
Name: Rooney Shepard Nickname: Most refer to Rooney by their last name. It is very rare for anyone to refer to Rooney by their first name. Those that are allowed to call them by their first name are people that they deeply trust and care for. In their ME universe, Thane uses Siha as a term of affection. Gender: Agender (They/Them) Star Sign: Aries Personality Type: Neutral Good Height: 5’10 ft. Orientation: Rooney would probably say they fall somewhere on the asexual spectrum, leaning towards demisexuality. Nationality/Ethnicity: Canadian/American in their cyberpunk verse. They have Irish heritage in both universes. Favorite Fruit: Apples Favorite Season: Fall Favorite Scent: Cinnamon or Leather Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate: Tea. They normally drink black tea, but their real favorite is cinnamon tea or something similar. Average Hours of Sleep: In an ideal world, Rooney would simply not need sleep. However, their hours of sleep vary depend on their workload/how deep they're in on a case. Dogs or Cats: Rooney is fine with cats and dogs, but they prefer hamsters, especially their Hamster, Shepard Jr. Dream Trip: Anywhere and Everywhere. In both verses, Rooney grew up in a sheltered town, reading about the world/galaxy and dreaming about it. (In their ME universe, it's part of the reason Rooney joined the Alliance.) Although, a part of Rooney would love to explore a completely unknown, never inhabited before planet. Number of Blankets: They have a basic comforter, but their favorite is a cooling weighted blanket. (Rooney gets hot at night.) Random Fact: Rooney is a puzzle fiend. They always have some sort of word search, crossword, Sudoku, etc. open on their device.
Hunter Delaney
Name: Hunter Shea Delaney Nickname: Dearheart by Wesker. Occasionally, people refer to Hunter by their last name. Gender: ¯(ツ)/¯ (They/Them) Star Sign: Scorpio Personality Type: Chaotic Neutral Height: 6 ft Orientation: Bisexual with a preference for mean blonds Nationality/Ethnicity: American (They're originally from Brooklyn, New York.) Favorite Fruit: Cherries Favorite Season: Summer. Back when they weren't infected, Hunter liked going out to paint landscapes during the summer. Favorite Scent: Wesker’s cologne. It makes Hunter feel safe. Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate: Coffee, preferably black. They're not really into super fancy drinks. (Actually, if you handed Hunter a very fancy coffee, their response would most likely be 'What the fuck is this?') Average Hours of Sleep: Depends on if it’s a good or a bad night, but anywhere from 3-5 hours. Dogs or Cats: Dogs. They’re literally so black dog coded. Dream Trip: The Louvre in Paris, France, and The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. (In truth, Hunter would love to go see any art gallery/museum, but these two have always interested them. Number of Blankets: Hunter likes a thick comforter, but usually sleeps with one to two blankets. (Wesker’s jacket also gets stolen as a blanket from time to time.) Random Fact: Don't think I've conveyed in this any of the stuff that I've written for Hunter, but they talk with their hands.

Making Fiends Halloween Headcanons 🎃 💙 💚
Tumblr media
🎃 Original headcanons 💙
💚 Ao3 version 🎃
Charlotte 🎃💙:
��� This year for Halloween she’s going as a rainbow unicorn fairy candy princess! 🌈 🦄 🧚 🍬 👸
• Buttons, her small hamster, is dressed as her noble steed, and Buttons 2, her “puppy”, is dressed as a cowboy.
• Charlotte helps her grandma bake Halloween cookies and carve pumpkins!
• The blue girl is blissfully ignorant as to why the people of Clamburg are so terrified on this holiday.
• While trick or treating, she encounters a group of not so friendly fiends who don’t look too happy to see her. The creatures growl in anger, showing off their massively sharp teeth as they slowly approach Charlotte, ready to attack her. Instead of running away like most would in a situation like this, the blue girl decides to happily feed the monsters her clams, beef jerky, and grape punch candy, turning them benevolent.
• When Charlotte spots Vendetta “trick or treating” (she’s really just taking candy from the other children) with her giant hamster, the blue girl’s eyes sparkle in excitement as she rushes over and asks Vendetta if the three of them can go all trick or treating together. Vendetta, of course, says no, but Charlotte continues to ask, pestering the other girl to no end.
Vendetta 🎃💚:
• She LOVES Halloween! It’s the one day a year where she gets to take and devour all the free candy she wants and terrorize the stupid people in town.
• She sends her fiends and giant hamster off to go decorate her home with evil and scary Halloween decor.
• IF she’s feeling generous, which isn’t likely, she might give a piece of candy or two to her tiny parents.
• This year, she will be a witch and her hamster will be a vampire.
• She tells he fiends to take people's candy and deliver it to her.
• When Charlotte comes and starts bothering her, Vendetta decides to create a Halloween-themed fiend to destroy the stupid girl. What happens is the same old same old - Vendetta makes the fiend, but Charlotte somehow finds a way to make the fiend friendly or have it do something to her benefit.

Kind of considering doing another BG3 run which would put me at eighteen total end me where I just. Respec everyone. Because Gale would be such a good Storm Sorcerer, and I was reading up on Wildheart Barbarians and thought that could fit Halsin pretty well, and, well. Now I have a whole list.
Would love to see other people's suggestions, people who have done the Everyone Gets Respecced thing, etc!
Astarion Original class: Rogue (Thief) New class: Warlock (Archfey) Explanation: Already bound to one master, Astarion making a deal to gain enough power to fight back against Cazador makes sense to me. Fey, in this case, fits Astarion's elvish background, and Misty Escape and Beguiling Defences would be very welcome.
Gale Original class: Wizard (Evocation School) - keeping 1 level New class: Sorcerer (Storm Sorcery) Explanation: Gale was summoning animals as a toddler. Man is a sorcerer, flat out. Much of his art uses lightning imagery, and then there's the appropriate name…
Karlach Original class: Barbarian (Berserker) New class: Fighter (Champion) Explanation: The in-game explanation does it best, honestly! "You approach the complex problems posed by combat with one distinctly effective solution - you hit those problems, really quite hard."
Wyll Original class: Warlock (The Fiend) - keeping 1 level New class: Paladin (Oath of Devotion) or Bard (College of Swords) Explanation: For paladin, the archetypal knight in shining armour. For bard, he loves dancing, tales of chivalry and drama, and has the charisma to pull it off. I sincerely believe either of these are what Wyll would have become anyway if he hadn't crossed paths with Mizora.
Shadowheart Original class: Cleric (Trickery Domain) - keeping 1 level New class: Druid (Circle of the Land) Explanation: Shadowheart is defined as being 'the healer'. Druids have a good swathe of healing spells (albeit not quite as many as a cleric, especially a Life cleric).
Lae'zel Original class: Fighter (Battle Master) New class: Monk (Way of the Open Hand) Explanation: Aside from monks being fairly common to githyanki, Lae'zel would appreciate the ability to fight even without weapons.
Halsin Original class: Druid (Circle of the Moon) - keeping 1 level New class: Barbarian (Wildheart) Explanation: Wildheart Barbarians take their power and influence from animals. Each has a Bestial Heart and two Animal Aspects; Halsin would have a Bear Heart and aspect, and some different aspect.
Jaheira Original class: Druid (Circle of the Land) New class: Ranger (Hunter) Explanation: Rangers still have a strong connection to the land, and hunters fit Jaheira's position as a quiet protector.
Minsc Original class: Ranger (Beast Master) New class: Druid (Circle of the Moon) Explanation: BECOME the Miniature Giant Space Hamster!

Profiles in Villainy
Vendetta 
The tyrannical tot known as Vendetta is a green, evil little girl who uses her tremendous baking skills to create fiends to do her bidding.  She spends her time torturing the other children and using her giant bear-like hamster, Grudge, to get what she wants. 
Indeed young Vendetta all but runs the Clamburg elementary school in that all of the adults are terrified of her. She constantly plots to destroy Charlotte (whom she despises), but her schemes are always foiled by Charlotte's kind obliviousness. 
Vendetta only eats clams, beef jerky, grape punch, ice cream and onions. And she hates singing, vegetables, and happiness.  
Actress Aglaia Mortcheva provides the voice for Vendetta with the villainess first appearing in the debut episode of the web series, Making Friends, launched on July 14th, 2003.

Making Fiends Headcanons #2, clarity on some things and idea(s) (Will be used for my Retold Project)
It's been a while since I made a post here, so I guess it's time for me to make another batch of Making Fiends headcanons, some of which might be used for my retold project. These will be numbered and colored for ease of legibility. This is a long read, be warned lol
Vendetta's First Friend + What Precedes the Takeover:
When I posted my first headcanons, I detailed how I believe Vendetta's fiendery began because she was constantly bullied at school when she moved to Clamburg, however, I forgot to mention that she HAD a friend before her takeover began. Her name is "Melanie", she's pretty much Charlotte in terms of bubbly and cheerful attitude, but more down to Earth and less clingy. One day at Clamburg Elementary, while finishing her classes, Melanie finds Vendetta alone on the playground as faint whimpers and cries are heard. She approaches Vendetta, unintentionally startling her as she thought no one was around. Melanie asks Vendetta why she's crying and playing alone, and she soon begins to hug and comfort Vendetta when she learns about the bullying and how lonely she's been feeling because of it. Shortly after comforting Vendetta, they both begin to talk and play a lot more together, and they soon become very close friends. Soon after a while, Vendetta tells her parents about the new friend she made, and both Viktor and Violetta are very excited and giddy to see their daughter so happy and that she made a friend. However, the bullying didn't stop, in fact, it became more rampant. Vendetta tries to avoid the constant bullying by pushing to the back of her mind and trying to take comfort in Melanie. But despite her parents and Melanie's constant comfort, it soon becomes too much for her to handle and she soon lashes out at Melanie when she tries to comfort her and runs off. After realizing she hurt Melanie from her anger, she runs off to the library, her favorite place to relax and be alone to try and take her mind off of things. While wandering the library, she finds a hidden room behind one of the shelves and discovers a book on how to make creatures known as "fiends". She glances at the book before taking it home to examine it in her room. She skims through the pages to see what she can make with them and brainstorms what to use them for. She first tries to make a few new friends so she's not alone, with Melanie being her only other friend. But then she hatches an idea, to make some fiends pull pranks on those who bullied her so that they stop. These pranks start off fine for the most part, but as time goes on, they start to turn into hostile pranks and Vendetta starts to become power-hungry as a result. During this transition, inhabitants of Clamburg begin to evacuate the town in secrecy so Vendetta doesn't send a fiend to threaten them, including the bullies she's "pranked" before. Unfortunately, Melanie gets caught in the crossfire of pranks and is hurt by a fiend Vendetta unleashed onto another bully. When Vendetta confronts Melanie and attempts to comfort and tend to her wounds, Melanie responds in terror, telling Vendetta to stay away from her and not touch her. Vendetta soon begins to cry, knowing she scared the only friend she had away. She's now alone again and is lost in her own head. Sadness soon turns to rage as she sends fiends out to terrorize the remaining inhabitants of Clamburg. When confronted by her parents, she makes a slug that shrinks her parents down to an extremely small size and leaves them in her hamster's cage so they don't try and stop her; and she makes and uses a fiendish growth potion on her pet hamster to have a bodyguard of sorts for her, now named Grudge. This is also one of many reasons why Vendetta "hates" Charlotte, it's because Charlotte's sort of a reminder of Melanie, how happy and cheery she was, and how happy Vendetta was. At the same time though, Charlotte is also the reason why Vendetta doesn't want to outright destroy her and why Vendetta has some sense of morals, because whenever Charlotte gets sad/depressed, it reminds Vendetta of how SHE was before everything began.
2. Charlene's Life in Clamburg (before Charlotte) + her promise to Vendetta:
In both the web series and TV series, Charlene is shown to have a house that she and Charlotte live in, so I headcanon that Charlene lived in Clamburg many years before she went to bring Charlotte there. While in Clamburg, she would be in charge of "Charlene's Candy and Auto Parts" store, as well as make lots of tasty and sweet pastries for Clamburg Elementary. Despite helping and talking to lots of people in town, she would be pretty lonely at home even though she would talk to Charlotte on the phone daily. Alongside this, I also headcanon that Charlene and Vendetta were friends shortly before Vendetta began her fiendish takeover of the lowly town. Shortly before Vendetta started to pull hostile threat "pranks", Charlene got a call telling her about something that happened to Charlotte's parents and that she needed to pick her granddaughter up immediately. Before she left Clamburg to get Charlotte, she spoke with Vendetta, telling her that she would be bringing her another new friend. She described Charlotte as sweet and loving, though a bit clingy yet equally shy-ish when meeting new people, very talkative and bubbly, and that they would both become friends as soon as they met. But Vendetta had to make a promise to Charlene. The promise is that while she's picking up Charlotte in Vermont, Vendetta shouldn't send any more fiends and to not hurt anyone. As well as when they return, to try and not lash out at Charlotte (because she's a bit sensitive) Unfortunately, Vendetta hurt Melanie with her fiend, so she had already lashed out and sent her fiends to terrorize the town while Charlene was picking up Charlotte from Vermont (this incident and "Charlotte's First Day" happened around 1-2 weeks apart) so fiends are littered all over Clamburg. Though it looks like they don't surround the perimeter of people's houses (especially Charlene's house)
3. (Clarification) The VenChar/Charletta Ship:
Something small I wanna clarify, but whenever I ship the two (Charlotte and Vendetta), I don't, in any way, portray it as "toxic" or whatever the proper term is. I like the whole "Enemy to Lover" trope, and I feel like that could apply to this ship as a whole (even though the rivalry is completely one-sided lol). I want to give Vendetta a redemption arc so that the entire dynamic between the two characters is healthy, and so there could be a happy ending between the two because they both deserve to be happy. Here's a small WIP timeline thingy to describe how I'll go about depicting the ship throughout the project (using some of the episodes from the TV since some of those episodes will be repurposed and redeveloped in my Retold Project): In "Charlotte's First Day", Charlotte meets Vendetta and soon starts to think they're friends. After her day at school and wrecking the whole place, she goes home and tells Charlene about the new friend she made, and Charlene is happy that the two got along so quickly. After a while, the events of "Parents" play out, and Charlotte's nativity begins to slip away since she hasn't seen her parents in months and she starts to feel depressed when Vendetta shows her parents at parent-teacher night. Vendetta decides to use this opportunity to make fiends disguised as Charlotte's parents to finally destroy her. But Charlotte still naive as ever, thinks Vendetta actually brought her parents back from space and is grateful Vendetta did such a nice thing Then after this episode, "No Singing" plays out and Charlotte gets depressed because of Maggie's poem, Vendetta tries to cheer her up (only because she made a fiend to crush anything/anyone that sings, hoping Charlotte would sing) and Charlotte begins to feel more comforted while around Vendetta, so much so that she begins to feel warm and giddy every time she thinks about her. Ironically, Vendetta began to feel the same way towards Charlotte ever so slightly (tho she managed to suppress those feelings a bit).
This is a small rough timeline I thought of for how their relationship evolves as time and the project go on. I want their relationship to feel and flow normally, while
4. "The Slumber Party":
One small idea for a chapter/episode in my project is called "The Slumber Party". Later on in the project, Charlotte becomes self-aware of how she accidentally hurts people and makes things worse due to her naivety. She's afraid that people hate her so much (which isn't entirely false), so she intends to fix the town and regain the people's trust in her. When she goes to middle school, she makes and gives out invitations announcing that she'll be hosting a giant slumber party at her house and welcomes anyone to attend. Charlotte and her grandmother began to bake lots of goodies and make tons of fun activities for the upcoming event. They want everyone to be happy and to give some good faith and positivity towards Charlotte. Once everything's all set and ready, Charlene and Charlotte start waiting for people to show. But to the surprise of both (mostly Charlotte), no one shows up, and Charlotte begins to feel even worse than when she came to her initial realization. She asks her grandmother if everyone still hates her that much, so much so that they can't even call her to inform her that they won't be attending the party. During all this, Vendetta is at home with her hamster Grudge, oddly contemplating the invitation she received from Charlotte. She's trying to decide whether to go to the party or just stay at home and relax. On one hand, she could attend the party to scare and send fiends onto people, wrecking the party as a whole. On the other hand, that would be a waste of resources and it would've been super late into the night anyway, so Vendetta would be very tired. (Though she's secretly thinking of attending the party to at least see Charlotte and maybe have a nice chat with her, buuuuuuut she's trying so hard to suppress those feelings, and for Grudge not to notice lol). While thinking about what to do, she realizes, "Hey, why isn't there any music or laughter coming from Charlotte's house? That place should be packed tonight, considering it usually is whenever she throws a party." When she looks towards Charlotte's house, it's completely blacked out, with only the light from her TV shining through the window of her living room. Did something happen at Charlotte's house? Why are no sounds and music coming from her house? Is there anyone there at all? Why are you thinking about her so much? If you're thinking about her THAT much, why don't you go check on her? Vendetta's mind begins to go all over the place, and she soon decides to go to Charlotte's house and see what's wrong. She takes a medium backpack with lots of supplies. Important stuff like fiend mix, pajamas, blankets, flashlights, a Charlotte plush that was gifted to her (Charlotte has a Vendetta plushie, so neither of them would be alone), and tons of additional supplies. When Vendetta and Grudge arrive at her house, their superstitions are unfortunately correct. There's no one inside besides Charlotte and her grandmother, and Charlotte looks even more depressed than when she heard Maggie's poem. A simple knock at the door grabs their attention, as Charlotte and Charlene are happy to see Vendetta and Grudge attending their slumber party (or what remains from it at least). Despite how late it is (it's around 11pm by the time Vendetta arrives) they both can still have some snacks and watch so TV for a little while before going to sleep. While watching TV together, Charlotte and Vendetta held hands for a little bit and both began to blush, with Charlene and Grudge watching from close by, smiling. Before heading to bed, Vendetta suggests that the two snuggle together, since it would be nice to comfort Charlotte after what happened with the partygoers and whatnot (plus it would be nice for Vendetta to hold Charlotte close to her). As the two begin to fall asleep, they snuggle each other, with their corresponding plushies by their side. Charlotte gives Vendetta a small kiss on the cheek and a quick "thank you" before they both snooze the night away.
I wanted to try and make something that starts off sad but soon has a happy and cutesy ending that continues the story. Since this happens later in the story, Charlotte and Vendetta's relationship begins to form more naturally, showing how Vendetta can feel remorse for Charlotte and that she has a soft side to her that begins to reform.
And with that, those are some headcanons & ideas I have for the retold project I'm working/brainstorming on. I hope you all enjoyed this super long read, and I'll try to type more headcanons more often since it's been forever since the last one. It honestly had a BLAST writing so much for the project. I wanna type so much more for this fan project since I've been hyper-fixated on this show for nearly 3 years, and because the source material BARELY has any information and world-building. I really want to do this series justice since Nickelodeon surely didn't, and it sucks that they did what they did to Amy Winfrey, and this show.

PART 1 OF ???
Special thanks to my dear interwebz buddy, @skullmalice, for helping me out with the naming and biology of these little muppets!
Long post/textwalling warning.
Well fellas, you know what they say:
Another day, another downward spiral.
Lately I have been on a bit of a nostalgia kick, looking at some of the things I've been into as a child, and speaking to other people that have been spelunking in the same caves, per se. I met a friend who showed me a piece of my childhood that I had almost completely forgotten. Like a wild animal being reintroduced to its natural habitat, I have been all over this shit, reliving everything I once did as a young maggot. Since that fateful reintroduction, that childhood memory has since become one of the most dangerous hyperfixations I have possibly ever had. /j
Said childhood memory? The Mr. Men and Little Miss franchise. More specifically, The Mr. Men Show, because I am early 2000s old school All American™ zoomer scum. (besides that, the only other thing about the franchise I remember is reading some of the books in 1st grade)
So because I got that dawg in me (read: autism), my naturally inquisitive nature leads me to territories that I should never have even considered for the sake of my own sanity.
Namely one question that's been chewing at the few neurons I have:
Just what the hell even are these things, anyway?
I know the canonical answer. They're stylized, abstract humans. But that's not satisfactory.
Call me a stubborn mule, but you simply cannot convince me that a pill, circle, bean, or rectangle shaped technicolor abomination is in any way, shape, or form, a human being.
Not happening.
Especially not when (at least in every version but the 2000s one) these things have been shown next to and interacting with actual humans on multiple occasions.
These fucking things look like muppets, so I will make them muppets.
It has to happen.
Being the fiend for speculative biology that I am, I simply had to pounce on this opportunity, and promptly tear it a new asshole.
With that being said, Mr. Men speculative biology? Mr. Men speculative biology.
The funny little shape people we all know and love belong to a species of chionophilic, semiaquatic, faerie-like pseudomammalians.
Tumblr media
The figure on the far left, is a frog. More specifically a common rain frog (Breviceps adspersus)
reference source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breviceps_adspersus#/media/File:Breviceps-adspersus-adspersus.jpg (forgive me, this is literally, and I don't use that word lightly, the first time I have ever drawn a frog)
The figure in the middle, is a hamster. More specifically a Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus)
reference source: https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/cute-funny-syrian-hamster-gm1019886932-274048800
The figure on the far right, is a frog's sad attempt at being a hamster's sad attempt at being a human. (Mirabilis phasmafigura)
One of the main things that separate Mirabils from other animals they may be morphologically similar to is their bright, vibrant pelage. Unlike animals that utilize certain structures within hairs, scales, or feathers, Mirabils have genuine green, blue, and purple pigments. But why is this? Such unnatural coloration doesn't work well when you're a small cotton ball in a big world of both predators and prey, that is, unless you're an aposematic species.
Mirabils exhibit vibrant fur colors with genuine rare pigments for the purpose of warning potential predators that they are exceptionally poisonous. And venomous. At the same time.
The inside of the Mirabil's mouth also displays a high amount of contrast, a black inner mouth with a vibrant, pink, hot pink or red tongue.
Tumblr media
As shown by the image above, there are multiple different ways for mirabils to assert to potential predators that they are not to be reckoned with.
The "Poisonous" warning (as modeled by Mr. Nervous, on the left), involves arching the back, raising the tail either straight up or curling it over the back (if it is long enough), and exposing the front and hind claws (unless they've got kicks on). All parts of the Mirabil are exasperatingly poisonous, so even accidentally sharing food with or ingesting a few hairs from one can and will lead to a 20 minute lifespan with no hope for any antidotes that would work.
The "Venomous" warning (as modeled by Little Miss Bossy, on the right), involves standing straight or with the front end lowered (preparing to strike), spitting their toxic saliva (Unlike with venomous snakes, the venom glands on a mirabil are their salivary glands, so their saliva normally adopts a greenish-yellowish tint (it's not bad hygiene, it's neurotoxins!), and baring the teeth. Mirabils are capable of opening their jaws up to 90 degrees. Similarly to snakes, the bottom jaw is loosely attached by soft ligaments, which aids them in getting a good hold on either potential predators, prey items larger than themselves, or on rivals for mates (they're immune to their own venom, but the pain of being envenomated for a mirabil is similar to that of a yellow jacket sting). Their venom is just as powerful as their poison, and if bitten the lifespan also shortens to about 20 minutes. Also no antidote for magic hellvenom lol.
It is hypothesized that specimens of M. phasmafigura were first discovered in the late 10th century by populations in Northern Europe/Asia, and the far south of South America respectively. Since then, they were first hunted for their luxuriously soft, silky, colorful pelts, then promptly domesticated and assimilated into human society.
Mirabil domestication has a very complicated history, especially with the fact that they as a species were always, and still are in affiliation with wizards, witches, and other alchemists (though usually unwilling on the Mirabil's terms). They were first utilized as hunting and fishing companions, then taken by wizards as servants and laborers (due to their small, nimble hands, swift movements, and magic properties ofc), then as pet-like companions by both wizards and the general populace, and finally as their own independent, sovereign "people" between the late 1970s to early 1980s.

While the species is currently global, existing in many different cultures, elevations, and climates, the natal habitats of the mirabil lie in freshwater polar regions across the world. When freshwater is not available, Mirabils prefer coastal regions where they can hunt in the open sea, but these sorts of populations are relatively uncommon. Populations living in the Southern Hemisphere generally prefer to stay near freshwater regions in the far south of South America, and South Africa, though there are several populations of Mirabils in Antarctica.
Despite the wide birth of location between Arctic and Antarctic populations, Mirabils have highly variable appearances, and are extremely difficult to categorize into any specific groups besides certain trends in sexual dimprohism, though even those contain many traits that are highly variable, and thus difficult to determine.
Similarly to other animals such as the puma, Mirabils have many names based on the regions they are native to.
Some of the names this species has received in it's respective locations are as follows:
BRITISH ISLES - Dillies (for their somewhat immature, "dilly-dallying" nature)
NORTHEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIA - Poumpoffs (puffy creatures)
NORTHWESTERN EUROPE - Eba (onomatopoeic for the paternal calls of most males)
SOUTH AMERICA - Mirabils (for their magical properties)
SOUTH AFRICA - Sagtmense (literally "soft people")
While some gravesites in their native range contain Mirabil bones, or Mirabils buried with human owners/companions, their skeletal and bodily structures have not differed from prior "feral" forms. This is mostly due to the species as a whole actively resisting human advancement in terms of domestication, meaning they have kept almost all of their wild traits.
My lawyer has advised me not to tell you how these things reproduce, so I won't.
Not on Tumblr, anyway. /wink
But that doesn't mean I can't show you what these hellspawn look like as babbies, and how they develop.
Mirabils are an ovoviviparous, holometabolous species, meaning they lay eggs that hatch inside the body, and go through complete metamorphosis with a larval and pupal stage.
Tumblr media
The lifespan of the larval mirabil is as follows:
Unfertilized egg
Fertilized egg
Embryo
Mature egg (Eggs hatch within the body anywhere between 6 and 4 months before the larva are born. The growth process of larva quickly damages the egg membrane and splits it open, freeing the young inside.)
Newborn (They have no limbs and a very underdeveloped notochord, so physically they're basically a kitten-maggot. They're completely blind (eyes covered in skin, with just a barely noticeable fold to where the eyelid would separate), but not deaf (though the ear isn't developed, and is still covered over with skin.). They will respond to auditory input by writhing in the direction of sounds they are familiar with, but are unable to produce any noise themselves, besides forcing air out of the nostrils to "squeak" if they are disturbed.
Oral anatomy of the baby mirabil (As well as having no limbs or bones besides the skull, mirabil larva are jawless. The mouth is designed to form a seal while feeding. Larva will stop suckling to breathe, but they will remain attached for several years).
5 year old infant. As the mirabil reaches around 5 years, they will detach and their mouth will start to seal itself shut, leaving only a small hole for wax to exit from as it prepares for pupation. Before the mouth completely seals itself shut, they may swallow liquified regurgitated materials, usually of heavily chewed plant or fungal matter brok the parents. Once the mouth is completely unuseable, what they have eaten as their "final meal" will repeatedly cycle back and forth from what would be the end of the digestive system, similar to chewing cud except there's no chewing and it's far nastier. Mirabil larva from birth to pupation are unable to defecate, the divet on their rear ends is meant to produce a glue-like substance so they can properly anchor themselves while feeding so they don't dangle, so the stored milk and regurgitated matter that remains in the body will ferment, getting pushed back into the esophagus to be cycled again and again until pupation occurs and the entire internal body digests itself.
Mature infant of 9 years, just about to pupate. The mouth is completely sealed shut, and the salivary glands are modified to produce a brown, waxy substance that the pup envelopes themself in prior to pupation. Eyelids are more developed, but still completely sealed shut until pupation is complete.
Completed cocoon of the baby mirabil. Pupation takes an extra 9 months as the infant produces extra bones, a completed digestive system, and extra organs they did not previously have.
What finally emerges after 9 long months of gross shit, is a variably-sized cotton ball with legs and a face.
Tumblr media
Mature babies emerge from their cocoons when they're about 10 years old (our human equivalent to a newborn). Their eyes are open, and they are somewhat mobile, able to shuffle around on their stubby legs and "sit" upright. They don't have any teeth, instead clawing their way out of the cocoon, and will continue to suckle until they are weaned at about 11 years old. Mirabil aging is around 10 years behind their human equivalent (a 21 year old human and a 21 year old mirabil are not the same, the latter is developmentally on par with a human 11 year old).
Their lifespans are also quite long, with an average lifespan of 210.5 years for females and 215.5 years for males.
Baby mirabils will begin to develop a personality and thus recieve their titular names once they are able to move around more independently. Names for physical characteristics are usually given immediately after the baby leaves the cocoon. When named for a personality trait, the most emotionally significant (or lack thereof) moment in a mirabil's life that occurs before they are able to walk upright becomes their strongest personality trait, and thus their name.
Tumblr media
Not all Mirabil larvae are a solid white, however. Some larvae have slight indicators as to how they will look like in adulthood, though some indicators of traits present in adulthood do not present themselves until after pupation.
Such indicators include:
Nasal spotting (for Mirabils with noses that are different to the base fur color, their larval forms will almost always have a colored nose with a ring of differently colored fur surrounding it. The bottom larva in figure 2 and the yellow pup in figure 4 are the same, with the larval form indicating that the pupated, and finally adult form will be a yellow individual with a purple nose.)
Brow spots (This indicator does not show itself until after pupation. The pup in figure 3 has dark spots above the eyes that, after puberty will form a bar or 'unibrow' in adulthood.)
Dipsticking (This indicator also does not show itself until after pupation. Dipsticking in Mirabil pups, like the individual in figure 5 have a spot of differently colored fur on the tip or most of the tail. This implies that the pup will grow up to have "hair", or a differently colored mane and tail from the rest of the body. In this case, this individual will grow to have a mane and tail that are a dark purple in color.)
And so that concludes my first of probably several Mr. Men specbio posts.
Uhhhh ermmmm thanks for reading i guess 😳
