One thing Diligence hates more than Rotlings? Shopping 🛍️

Temperance. Enjoy your clown facts:

So I have used references in determining how I create character designs for my candyfolk ocs. Then I thought about how genetics would work. Using Mike and Willa as a reference the dots on the side are the colours that would be genetically passed down, some of the colours would be recessive while others would be dominant. I use the different colours of the candy (from the box) as a reference. More under the cut

Art dump of @maxiedraws’s oc and Turbotime boys! I love drawing other’s twins and ocs and my boys interacting with them

Your twins are adorable and I just love a heavier set Turbo 💖💖 Dash calling for his brother and three people responding is hilarious to me

(Sorry if you've already answered this before, I'm new here.)

I just want to say, I never thought I would get an ask related to the complicated backstory I made for these characters so thank you for indulging me ::3.

Okay so the thing with Mike is that he has always been one to do ANYTHING in order to have power of any kind. So he only saw the trio as a means to an end and made that clear behind closed doors. Knowing that and experiencing his “treatment” the trio do not like Mike and hardly respect him. 

First of all, weird hill to die on. Second, there is no way in fuck you are going to get people to stop drinking fermented shit, that's one of those universal human cultural constants. it's up there with fried dough, baskets, and dildos. Third, people drink SO MUCH WINE IN THE BIBLE. DID YOU EVEN READ THE BOOK YOU'RE THUMPING.

The answer is that they're tactfully ignoring the bits that aren't relevant to their immediate argument, but like... do you have any idea how often wine comes up in the Bible? Because it's a lot. Wine and winemaking was very, very important to that part of the world. People drank it at casual dinners with their friends. They served it to welcome guests and to celebrate weddings. Wine will just kinda crop up as poetic shorthand for material prosperity.

It has immense symbolic significance in the Last Supper (and therefore in fucking communion, the ritual where we solemnly remember Jesus's sacrifice for us) but if that's not good enough for you, Jesus also performed a whole other miracle where he turned water into wine so his friend's wedding reception wouldn't prematurely run out. Yep, that crisis warranted a miracle.

OH ABSOLUTELY!

ARMA & TEMPERENCE

1. what’s the first thing they usually do to get each other’s attention?

arma calls temperence by a nickname more often than not. sometimes he’ll whistle, sometimes he’ll nudge her.

“temp, babe, teeeemp! would ya still love me if i was a worm. would ya put me on the dash of yer car and make me a little worm bed?”

2. how comfortable are they with touching/being touched by the other?

arma has no shame in touching temperence and doesn’t mind her touches in the slightest! when it comes to someone he likes intimately, he doesn’t care!! he and temperence interchangeably being big spoon and little spoon because they slay like that!

he’s partial to holding temperence by the waist ever so casually!

9. how do they react to the other not realizing danger? (ex: oncoming traffic)

it’s no secret that temperence loves an adrenaline rush, which can definitely lead to some reckless decisions at times. that already stresses arma out so if she seeks out that kind of danger on purpose, arma will definitely have some choice words.

“temp, are ya fuckin’ crazy? listen, i love how outgoin’ you can be but be more careful. over here givin’ me a heart attack!”

in terms of actually not noticing, arma would definitely move her out the way and if the situation called for it, take the fall. the strange circumstances of his toon abilities would get him hurt, sure, but way less than the average person. so, he’d rather he get hurt than her.

11. how do their arguments usually play out? do they make up quickly?

arma can be kind of a dick sometimes so he’ll often say some really harsh things, especially if he’s mad. when he feels that he’s right, he stands his ground and refuse to apologize to temperence….at first.

he’s the type to distance himself. arma needs some time to collect his thoughts because after an argument spewing things he felt in the heat of the moment, he tries not to do it again.

how he argues is a product of his childhood but how he remedies situations is something he’s constantly trying to be better at doing. he can’t be like them.

approaching her to apologize, he’s honest.

“look, i said a lot of shitty things to ya i didn’t mean. i’m sorry for blowing up on ya like that. i ain’t asking for instant forgiveness but i wanna work this out somehow.”

on the other hand, he totally understands if she’s angry enough to slap the shit out of him. he’ll be like “what the fuck!” but knows damn well he deserves it. cybug babe get his ass.

12. how do they react to terms of endearment/each other’s nicknames?

arma purposely starts twirling his hair and giggling like a school girl in the most obnoxious way possible. he does love nicknames from temperence a lot but he loves to embarrass her about it. especially when it comes to nicknaming her.

“omg i’m a cutie patootie? really? *swoon* guys, i can’t take this shit! she’s such a charmer~”

or

“how are ya, my sweet sugar darling sparkle muffin~~~~ don’t look at me like that, pookie bear~~~”

13. what do they do to make each other smile or laugh when they have bad days?

arma is just the funniest guy on the planet. he exists and it’s funny.

but for real, there’s lots of things he’ll do. he’ll offer to race with temperence, despite the fast pace not being his thing at all! he knows how much she looooves a good race.

he’ll also perform something just for her. make up a little ditty about her in five seconds and sing to the rooftops. obnoxiously, in hopes of flustering her and getting her to giggle. i can see him putting on a good song and pulling her into his arms to dance together.

if arma is in a sour mood, he’s easy to cheer up with if temperence gives him some sort of sweet attention or brings him some food.
