Genderbent and f2u base! Sorry for not posting- I’ve been moving!! But I’m finally settled in now, so hopefully I’ll be catching up with these prompts (expect some to be traditional to save me time)

Holy genderswap, batman! I haven’t done much recently, so you guys get a kind of old screenshot edit.

Long time no see, tumblr! Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve been having a hell of a time with motivation to finish anything. I wanted to work on practicing female bodies, so I made a genderswap Au for the dork squad!I’m not super happy with this, but it’s okay!

[BADLY DRAWN BLOOD UNDER CUT]

Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival and I finally drew the crossover I’ve been gushing about on Discord a year ago :D

Info dump ahead:

I used to be one of those bookworms with a fixation on mythology, namely ones from China since my mom never told me these stories from our culture.

My favorite story was about how the Mid-Autumn festival came to be. To abbreviate, the skilled archer, Hou Yi, saved humanity from dying of heat exhaustion by shooting down nine of ten suns.

This eventually caused a series of events that led to his wife, Chang’e, unintentionally becoming the Goddess of the Moon and unable to return back home.

The gods took pity on the star-crossed couple and decided to allow them an annual reunion on the full moon of the eighth lunar month. Hence, the creation of the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate this.

Here’s a link to the full story if anyone is interested: here

How does this relate to Hattercrow? Spoiler alert in the story: the fallen suns were turned into three legged crows (sanzuwu) and Chang’e has a pet bunny (the Jade Rabbit), who makes potions for the heavenly beings.

They also happened to be representations of the Sun and Moon, respectively.

So I drew Johana as a humanized sanzuwu and Janis as the Jade Rabbit in the Tang Dynasty fashion.

To summarize, I had loved this story way before I got into Hattercrow but once I got invested, I was immediately reminded of my childhood.

Hope you enjoy this long post and art.

Have a bonus sketch of their animal counterparts. :)

Drew my girls having sleepy cuddles as some self comfort.

It’s a scene within my self indulgent fic where Johana finally allowed Janis to freely call her ‘Hanna’ and the start of their relationship (it took a lot for them to reach this point and Johana doesn't care much for nicknames).

I forgot to post these yesterday but hey, Halloween is the perfect date anyway.
