Hi, I have some questions for you:
1-How did you come up with the idea for Au the Corpse Bride?
2-ĀæWhat were Boris's feelings or thoughts about Shelly and Mugman?
3-ĀæAlso, how did Cuphead and Chalice die?
4-ĀæWill this story be a series for questions or just a comic?
5-ĀæWill history change and will everyone have a happy ending?
1. I was rewatching it on the plane. I usually insert whatever my current hyperfixation into movies, itās just easier for me to care about the movie more, and itās just fun. And well, i was like damn Emily be the ultimate hopeless romantic girl failureā¦. SO IS MUGMAN! And the rest is history :}
2. (I just realised u didnāt specify his thoughts as first impressions but I responded like it was)
I like to headcanon Boris as a pan-disaster who is attracted to anyone who acknowledges him and is nice to him. So when he meets Shelly and like in the movie she walks in on him playing music, and genuinely liking it and interested in it he is a stuttering blubbering mess. He was already gonna be awkward with her bc of the whole arranged marriage thing, but upon first meet he is stealing himself to be more hopeful and optimistic about the union. If not for a true romance (like heād always hoped for) than at least he could gain a close friend, right? And Shelly seems nice, heās sure he can find companionship in her.
As for Mugman. Well. He was TERRIFIED. I mean could you blame him? A shattered grotesque-ass CORPSE just crawled outta the ground in a WEDDING SUIT saying they āI doā. Then chased him though the woods and stole him with a kiss into the UNDERWORLD! To say he was freaked out would be putting it lightly. But as soon as Mugmans whole situation was explained to Boris, the whole song and dance about how he was killed at his own alter, Boris couldnāt help but feel bad for him. This lead him to at least play along with the marriage although still trying to get back to the surface and Shelly. The wolf had his priorities. But of course he grew to care for Mugman, and well fall a bit for him too, so in the end ofc he choose to stay and care for Mugman as he believed he deserved and even wanted to atp. He was ready to give up his previous life for mugman, but well Mugman realised he didnāt want him to do that.
3. Making these up on the spot here bc I didnāt design them with their deaths in mind. So count my answers as one of those Tim Burton movie death theoryās.
Cuphead ā while running from the consequences of his crimes fell down a cliff and into a river where he was shattered and bits and pieces of him blown away.
Chalice ā died of spider bite (yea weāre following vivzie-verse logic with this one she gained spider legs from her spider death lol)
4. Nah, sry guys but I simply just donāt wanna make any full fledged comics or ask blogs atm. I like to jump around in the time line and make alternate paths to my auās plots and in general a comics is just a big commitment Im not motivated to do. But I will continue to draw snippets from this au, which includes small interactions between characters etc.
@ladygsunflowers thank u sm for these questions! This was fun :}
