“Throw me a line and bring me back home,”

- Lifelines by I Prevail

feeding this blog w a bit of phone art kekw, the background just about killed me XD

once again I couldn’t decide on a final rendered version, so have some slightly-different-coloured ones below! honestly I can’t decide which one I like best lol

the character designs were done completely by memory, so they’re not accurate sadge. also it is. objectively hilarious to me just how different the art of Stella I’ve been making is to their introduction in the comic lmfao

oh also as promised, @teamfortresstwo here’s what I was talking about yesterday :]

Tell me more about the girl losses-

HOLY FUCK NEW BANNER

wHEEEEEEEZE–

fun fact about the the banner; that scene might not make it into the final draft of wcbwe sadge. fun fact 2! two thirds of the characters in the banner have been redesigned XD

okaaaaaay the girl loss moment! it’s gonna be so fun >:3 (<- I’m making an animation meme of kinda like Willow’s backstory/Willow and Stella’s falling out, I’ve changed it a lot since the last time I told u about it XD)

(^ idk if I told u about their original meeting but n o w Willow is a puppet/construct kinda like Schrödinger! Willow was made as more of an experiment to see if the puppets could actually behave like living cats, which is what makes her more of a ‘construct’ and less of a puppet made to be a soldier, like Schrödinger. she and Stella were childhood friends and stayed pretty close as they grew up, until Willow got into and accident and nearly got destroyed. she’s made to grow and learn but she’s still a construct and not meant to be capable of dying, so the Incident reeeeally rattled her and she started looking into ways to ‘become immortal’ or get deified to Avoid That (she doesn’t know she’s a construct/puppet at first btw), often at the cost of her health. her and Stella get into a lot of arguments over this and start kinda falling apart

(coincidentally, around this point in time Stella Dies and due to a combination of luck and intervention is deified, and Willow is desperate to figure out how – which is what finally fully drives Stella away. she ends up travelling with the two new characters, Wander and Gray, while Willow continues her experiments

(eventually Willow starts getting increasingly desperate, and starts working with Ash and a group of powerful magick users who are working to Kill Death, hoping this could help cull her mortality. Unfortunately the group’s target is Gray, and Constellation and Wander aren’t going to let anything happen to her without a fight, which places Willow and Stella on opposite sides of the battlefield.

(Willow tries to just kinda. avoid Stella, but Stella ends up taking a hit for Wander and is really badly injured, which is her big girl loss moment in what I’m working on rn :3 originally I was gonna give her a girlboss moment instead, but what I drafted worked better with causing her pain >:D

(aaanyways that kinda makes Willow feel a bit guilty over the whole thing, and decides to abandon the cause and continue her research on her own. The group is still, mostly, successful though (which causes Problems later on), and later on she’s contacted again by Ash, leading to her last confrontation with Stella before the official timeline starts – in which Stella is Very Concerned (but still not happy at all with Wills) over the way Willow has started to… degrade, who of course insists that nothing is wrong.

(Which Is another animation I’m working on lmao! The whole thing kinda changes the Foxglove incident so I’m still finagling those details bc I think it’s important that he dies. Willow fucks off for a second time to follow new leads and also hide from Stella, where she eventually meets Arceli :>

(so TECHNICALLY that’s THREE girl losses smile. plus Wander gets traumatized bc he looses both his friends at once. this is gonna be so fun–)
