I remember taking the creative liberties of giving all the pigs names (you can tell this was starting to become a sort of sans AU).

I based most of their relationships on the comics.

Chef: Jacques

Corporal: Corelle

Professor: Dr. Norman

Foreman: Gavin

Mechanic: “M”

(Ross and King Pig kept their names.)

However the main cast was Professor, Chef, and Corp.

Corporal was the MAIN character. His relationship with the main pigs stay relatively the same, except most of them look down on him due to his status as a minion. This Corp is more close with Ross, Professor, and Mechanical Pig and looks up to King Pig’s like he’s some Greek god (bro stop the dickriding). Prof. and Corp are friends in this au; and given nobody likes Prof. he has no other choice but to tolerate Corp’s antics as he’s the only one who’ll listen to him. Corp and Chef would have this toxic, Hannibal x Will-esque dynamic since Chef would often listen to Corp complain that he isn’t a military leader, and promises to make his dreams come true if they became allies and lovers.

Professor Pig on the other hand….is a mess. Before Chef died, Prof. would have nobody else to vent to about his struggles but him. And Chef being Chef, took advantage of this to spread rumors that Prof. was a #weirdo bc he talks to ghosts and is a loner. This basically ruined his reputation and left Prof. and pick up the pieces of his career. However things would change for the better when he discovered a grey baby bird hatched from her egg.

Chef’s death hit King Pig’s the hardest. He’s never seen outside the castle and resigns in his bedroom, away from the world. He doesn’t even care about stealing the eggs anymore!!

And here’s a redraw of Corelle & Chef’s first interaction from February.

Dialogue for anyone who can’t read it:

Corelle: “You’re not Chef! Chef’s dead! You’re… You’re…

Chef Pig: Oh, but I am, you incompetent minion! Look at me…!

The original panels!

And I just liked how this full picture looked
