Tl;dr: I think we should rename Nekoette to Kitty

Kawaii~Chan always bothered me as a kid because I was raised in Japan (ages 4-18) and every time she spoke or tossed a Japanese word in there or gave certain characters certain suffixes I was so

So very,,,,, adjective. Mostly confused. That’s the adjective.

SO I GOTTA TALK ABOUT THE LANGUAGE IMPLICATIONS OF HER DAUGHTER NEKOETTE

She named her daughter Nekoette: Transliterated to cat-ette. -ette usually being tacked onto names in English to be more feminine and dainty, so OK her name is dainty cat.

But then they use the -tan suffix which isn’t a real name suffix it’s BABY SPEAK for -chan and I figured, alright well it is her daughter, and mothers baby speak their literal babies all the time. But then Nekoette never outgrows the -tan suffix? It’s with her the whole time. Meaning even as a teen she’s being called (baby voice) dainty kitty. Essentially her name means

POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW

If Nana is Kawaii~Chan (可愛いちゃん : cute girl) then Nekoette is Kawaiisou (可愛いそう : poor thing)

Set her up for failure SO HARD. Transliterating her name gets you a mess, but localizing it it very easily localizes to Kitty. Which is such a cute name and also actually. A name.

Here’s the kanji for Nana’s name if anyone was curious: 那那 芦田

Not canon I had to write it out myself but that’s the most probable kanji for her. The kanji for Nana means beautiful, and the kanji for Ashida means rice farmer. Maybe her family in Tu’La were rice farmers??? Hidden lore?????? There’s no way her name was that thought out

Here’s that for Nekoette: 猫エト (猫エット？) 芦田

And for her rename, Kitty: キティ 芦田

(Technically you can kanji the name Kitty, but I feel like Nana would keep it in katakana because they live in Phoenix Drop and not Tu’La)

haven't seen a lot of baby nekoette drawins... so

taglist: @possuminnit (ask to be added or removed :3)

[lucindasthighs]

I think Nana should have kept her little maids throughout the series.

Imagine: The broken streets of Phoenix Drop are a cold and desolate, but every so often, you'll see a garish pop of color. Sometimes they're peeking out, curious about the new "customer." Sometimes they're following Nekoette, who treats them more like little sisters than the magical constructs they are. Either way, it serves as a reminder; That not all has changed, and not all has been lost.

also dmitri would definitely think they were her kids and be like "damn auntie is it really that good😦"

he loves his niece and nephew

Happy Sibling Day!

Wow look at me, I actually planned ahead to make a piece for a specific day and finished it on time wowie.

Anyway have some sibling pairs bein’ cute!

Okay and since I suck at shutting up my thought processes behind the pieces!

Garroth and Zane: Hc that Zane is very smart but had some speech issues early on. Speech therapy helped a lot, to the point where he becomes almost absurdly eloquent as his reading quickly translates into his speech. The comic is set early on in this therapy, so he’s just starting to vocalize names, and he hasn’t quite grasped the -th sound yet lol.

Laurance and Cadenza: Okay I actually have two ideas for Laurance’s ginger phase that I can’t choose between.

Option 1: As Laurance got older he and Cadenza started getting confused for a couple by strangers, which got on both of their nerves. Laurance lost the draw for who had to change their hair color, but ends up really liking the orange as it makes him feel closer to Candenza

Option 2: Since Laurance and Hayden look more similar people start to assume Cadenza is just Laurance’s friend and not part of the family. It gets to the point where Cadenza wants to dye her hair brown to fit in with them, but knowing how much she loves her hair Laurance offers to dye his instead, so that they can be equally confusing.

Dimitri and Naoko: Dimitri was raised by Nicole for most of his childhood before her and Dante decide to try a coparenting situation. He’s hesitant about his new sister, but quickly warms up to her. All the parents are definitely recording it to embarrass him later lol.

Levin and Malachi + Lilith and Alina: I wanted to draw them all together, maybe in a joking rivalry kind of way, (child batch 1 vs child batch 2) but I settled for pictures of them on Aph’s walls.

[sweetiepotatofry]

So if Dante's hair is dark blue and Nana's is pink, and their daughter, Nekoette's is light blue. Does that Imply blue hair in the aphverse works like blonde hair irl?

As in some are born with dang near white hair and then it darkens (sometimes to brown) around adolescents?

Also I feel like Katelyn dying her hair light blue and it being treated like she's a bottle blonde somehow ties into this but I'm not sure how.

[snekverse]

Kiddies!

Been wanting to draw Dante's kids lmao so here they are <3

idr if they have canon ages..? but in my mind [Mayumi] is 9-10 and Dmitri is 13-14. Nicole and Dante had a fling during the start of the time skip, but after a year or two her father fell very ill and she needed to return to Scaleswind and step up as Lord. Little did she know that she was already pregnant when she left for home, however she got too caught up between first-time motherhood and first-time lordship to return to Phoenix Drop and see Dante again.

After she left, Dante was kind of a wreck; to him, Nicole was just one more person who'd abandoned him, even if he knew logically she had a duty to uphold and no say in the matter. Nana had been right by his side this entire time, but after this event she and Dante became very close, ultimately falling in love and getting married. Mayumi cam into the picture withing a year or two of them being married, and the rest is history.

I haven't thought much beyond that lmao but I think these two are the silliest billies for real <3

[panons]

some mcd girlies :P

[goat-guy-tm]

@ang3lic-t3ars

I personally adore my redesign of her, I like to think she had absolutely big puffy as fuck hair, like PinkiePie levels, and I like to draw her very tall for some reason. I love all the designs of her short as fuck, but my rewrite kc has always been a lanky gal, for some reason.

I also this it was a missed oppertunity to give her little fairy assistants. I know they were dolls she brought to life with her magic, I still keep that but also, FAIRY ASSISTANTS!! Little pixie girls she dresses up and have collects fruits and flowers for her!

And also yes I was such a big sucker for Damien in mys and his and KC's relationship that I made them end game in mcd. I'm normal about them.

Kc's hair isn't graying in the second pic, I just realized I had forgotten to make her vitiligo affect her hair, so I guess see it as if the vitiligo doesn't reach/affect her scalp till some time around season 2

[laurancezvahlslefteyebrow]

so originally i wasn’t gonna change nekoette’s name in my rewrite

but then i remembered her name is literally neko ette

so her name is Nina now

:)
