Quick drawing featuring Scottish Teapot dad because I haven’t drawn Cerrel in so long. If he were still alive he’d be so proud of his boys for kicking the Devil’s arse and freeing the debtors of Inkwell. And Cuphead and Mugman would still be grounded for sneaking out to the casino in the first place kek

Happy Father’s Day!

Parentage

“It’s odd to find that all these couples are all the parents of those two boys, and yet, it still makes sense across paradox time and space. By proxy, this means that there must be a common ancestor across time and space that would cause the lineages to end with them at current generation and yet be so unique from continuity from continuity.” --???, Inkwell Convergence (a later act)

I don’t see a whole lot of fanart of the Cup Brothers’ parents, so I decided to fix that. And I fupping love seeing people’s interpretations of what Cuphead and Mugman’s parents look like because they’re all so unique and they all look quite plausible in being the ones who birthed our sippy bois. I guess this was also an excuse to make some art for Inkwell Convergence, a project that I plan on being my last hurrah for my time in the fandom and at this point is on the furthest back burner, and indulge in some of my favorite interpretations. At this point, I do know that these three continuities in question definitely are involved, and I’ll probably do a rambling about that later about how that works exactly, but for now I’m pretty satisfied with how this turned out.

I also considered drawing Cuphead and Mugman in their respective God Tier outfits (Prince of Light and Page of Heart, respectively), but I figured in interest of the piece I would just have those titles referenced in the shots charging (the colors of both aspects, with the Light and Heart symbols being part of the particle effects.

Cerrel and Porcia from yours truly

Cerrel, how drunk are you right now to be wearing Merida’s dress?

“It’s still going to be a tough day to get through, even though it’s been over a decade...”

Claire still dresses in all black whenever the anniversary of her brother in law and sister’s death, November 2nd, rolls around, and while the pain of losing them is continuing to dull, the scar is still very much there. I keep saying I’ll get to those entries of Origins, but right now school and work have other plans for me and I have two other projects to get out of the way (and once the semester is over RPs are going to be at the top of the priority list because HNNNNNNGH I’ve left y’all hanging way too frikkin’ long). If you thought the news of two of the people she held dear being found dead in the woods of Inkwell Isle One was bad, imagine how much worse it gets when she found out her parents were responsible for it, add in the fact that she couldn’t help them in their attempt to flee to the Inkwell Highlands, and had no knowledge of what was going on due to very limited communication (not that either woman had a choice since Lynn Manor would pounce on any opportunity to monitor their letters and track both of them down; and Porcia communicating with Alston was already risky considering he was still surviving in the manor). If she learned about Cuphead and Mugman’s existence and, like Alston, also assumed that they were lost as a result of the ambush, it would have been likely that she would’ve killed herself not long after Alston was taken out. The finer details will be addressed later, but for now, take this.

Day 6: Relax on the Beach at night

AT LONG FUCKING LAST IT IS COMPLETE.

It’s time to head home and this does take place canonically between Elder Kettle’s warning (the next installment following “Be Afraid, Boys; Be Very Afraid”) and the actual kidnapping in this continuity. Claire opens up to Lucius about her siblings and that she’s still heartbroken over what happened.

And now, a whole bunch of thanks to give out. A huge thank you to

@bananasnbagels for creating the event in the first place

@geminicblue for letting me borrow Hilda’s swimsuit design she made

@yellow-py for letting me borrow Palm Tree Dude for Day 4 and 5 of the event

and everyone for bearing with me as I churn these out and checking out my art for this event.

From here on out, all my entries for events are just going to be pencil and paper so I can get it done faster. And because work is a bitch. I’ll see you all on the next event at the end of August!
