Even though this post is a follow-up from my previous one, it is not only dedicated to our birthday boy @buckleberry4ever, but for anyone else that sees this post. This is because of my drawing in the last post serving as the catalyst for a Berry in the Big City AU that I made a little while back called the Storybook AU.

The premise of this AU is that Strawberry finds an old storybook with multiple stories from her childhood. She gets sucked into this book upon opening it, gets transported into the fairy tale world, and takes on the role of one of its characters.

The only way for her to get out of the story is her for to make sure it happens as it is supposed to, because dark magic is changing the stories' plots as they go along. How much she can influence the story's events depends on the character she plays in that story, because it is different every time.

And along with this, certain characters from each of the stories she will go into are portrayed by her fellow Berry Besties and other Berry in the Big City characters. Unlike her, however, they would acting as their assigned characters and not themselves in real life, which may pose a challenge for Strawberry when she needs to interact with them.

Now, I was able to form designs for these berries except for Strawberry, which are found here in the following drawings:

Listed below are the different stories each of the Berry Besties are assigned to, in the order she would enter them:

Robin Hood - Bread Pudding, Lime Chiffon

Snow Berry & the Seven Berrykins - Lemon Meringue, Raspberry Tart

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - Orange Blossom, Sour Grapes

Berryella and Prince Berry Charming - Apple Dumpling, Plum Pudding

The Littlest Berrykin - Blueberry Muffin, Huckleberry Pie (see the previous post for reference.)

This post is dedicated to @buckleberry4ever to celebrate his birthday today!

I have made several Buckleberry fan art for a little while, but I have only gotten to posting them now, knowing how much he loves the ship. So, for you, Marc, I have here a drawing and concept featuring Buckleberry that you might enjoy.

So, if you recall, Strawberry Shortcake Berry Bitty Adventures had an episode where Huck and Blueberry were dressed as a king and queen:

They obviously did not dress like this again in Berry in the Big City, so I wanted to reimagine these outfits' design in the reboot, with the pair having become berries (people) of color:

With my personal headcanons of Huck being half-Indian, and Blueberry being half-Chinese, these corresponding cultures were the basis for their reimagined looks. But because of their being half-American, some European elements have been incorporated into their costumes:

Introducing the Blue Royals! Rulers of the Littlest Berrykin's kingdom!

Once again, this post and this drawing in particular is dedicated to our birthday boy, @buckleberry4ever, who should stay tuned for the next post, because more details about this design will be revealed in it.

So....with the reveal of the series' new villain, Zandrya, I have a little theory about her. I know that I may be wrong on this one, but I also have a good feeling about it, so hear me out.

Notice how she is dressed is blue with some purple accents, and that her name starts with the letter Z. You know who else has these traits?

These two. Prince Zane and Princess Zaria of Gloomshire.

Zandrya could be Gloomshire's royal sorceress, who decides to betray the royal family, Zane and Zaria's family, in order to take over her kingdom, or even the entire EverRealm. Maybe she would be like Grimtrix in the last series, who despised royalty, which explains why she could be the villain for the show.

And although this may not actually happen, it would certainly be interesting if Zane and Zaria (who I'll call the Z-blings from now on,) will be in on this as well. Like they could play a part in Zandrya's plan that could nearly lead to her victory, intentionally or otherwise.
