Snek Kisses
Added 2020-10-20 01:25:26 +0000 UTCsorry about the art slowdown lately! going through a miniature life upheaval (but a positive one!) that left me a bit strapped for time. should be back to normal now~
i think i wrote a while ago that Vogue owned "a beloved pet corn snake named Noodles", and people asked to see it. I've since upgraded Vogue's pet to a big ass python, by the name of Monsieur Nouilles au Beurre (Buttered Noodles).
Vogue always begged her parents for a pet growing up- a parakeet, a puppy, a hedgehog, a ferret, a cat, anything- but sadly, they never granted her wish. Fleur couldn't bear the thought of some animal mussing up her artfully arranged home decor, and Fancy is allergic to nearly all manner of mammal. Besides, Vogue had her studies to attend to. On one of her birthdays, they "gifted" her a massive aquarium full of glittery jewel-colored fish, but it was to be cared for only for the servants, more of a big ornament than any sort of pet. Vogue enjoyed the fish, but more than anything, she wanted a pet all her own.
However, jumping from an arduous education into a busy career didn't afford her any time for browsing pet shops. It isn't until one day, while running her modelling agency, Vogue spots something slithering out of one of her junior photographers' duffel bags. It's a giant python, brought in to be a racy prop for her models to pose with. Possibly nude, adds the photographer pleasantly.
Vogue is.....not happy about this. Not at all. Words are exchanged, a certain photographer is found to be "intolerably perverse", "criminally stupid", and "not at all good fit for the agency", and Vogue ends up with this abandoned, ownerless snake.
Welp. She doesn't really know what to do with it, she's honestly a bit afraid of the little beast, but when she reaches out to give it an awkward, totally-not-terrified pat.....it boops it's head against her hand. And looks up at her with the biggest, derpiest eyes imaginable. Oh no.
This is no foul creature. This is babie. Vogue loves babie. Vogue loves Buttered Noodles.
Zee, upon seeing her roommate walk into their home with a gigantic snake, said something to the tune of "what the fuckety fucking FUCKAROO NO NO NOOOOOO", but eventually warms up to Noodles, and can often be seen letting him wiggle his head into her hoodie pockets. They're bros.

Just kinda. Imagining her constantly referring to it as Bébé, like Moira Rose from Schitt's Creek. BÉBÉ!

2020-10-20 13:02:01 +0000 UTCBabie!!! I have a delightful mental image of Zee coming in to find Vogue standing over a steaming pot...and yelping when she pulls out a dead rat for Monsieur Noodles. Vogue also has to have a pretty decent enclosure for the big babie - I kind of like the idea of her calling to apologize to the photographer, finding out that they had adopted the snake as a prop and were keeping him in a small box, and decided right then and there that she was taking the snake home.

2020-10-20 02:41:13 +0000 UTCDepends on the snake I think. Ball pythons are super docile but green tree pythons are jerks. These are stereotypes ofc and there can be any personality to any species.

2020-10-20 02:29:42 +0000 UTCI knew exactly what video that link was going to lead to before I even clicked it I'm so pleased Also consider: Phoenix's reaction when, during one of her and Vogue's flings, she stumbles into the latter's room to find a huge. Fucking. Python. Just curling casually around Vogue's shoulders as she scrolls absentmindedly through social media. Phoenix sputters, and gawks, and *definitely* does *not* squeak a little, until Vogue finally notices and looks up with a single raised eyebrow. "...*snake*," Phoneix points out weakly. Vogue immediately perks up, smiling and getting off her bed to walk towards Phoenix with the *huge fucking danger noodle* slithering all across her. "Oh," she says delightedly, just a hint of wicked glee in her eye, "Have I not introduced you to Monsieur Nouilles au Beurre?" Phoenix is rooted to the spot, the snake looking her directly in the eye. "Monsieur *what?*" Vogue giggles. "It means 'Buttered Noodles' in French." "Ah," Phoenix responds lamely. Vogue eyes her on-again, off-again girlfriend critically. "Would you like to hold-?" "No!" Phoenix yelps, finally finding her feet for long enough to retreat from Vogue and her advancing fucking *python*. "No, I'm good, thanks." "I thought you were a pegasus, not a chicken," Zee, passing by Vogue's bedroom, sneers from the door. The dancer passes Phoenix to hold out an arm to Buttered Noodles, and the python happily slithers over Zee's shoulders, looping once through her hoodie pocket. Zee smirks as Phoenix gapes. "No, I guess I'm just the only one with *any fucking sense* around here!" Phoenix practically screeches, and tries to ignore the thought that 'Vogue has enough confidence to casually carry around a python twice my height' is.... kinda sexy.... fuck. (Later, whenever Phoenix (semi-)jokingly texts Vogue 'send nudes' - usually when Nix is drunk - Vogue sends back 'noods'. As in, Buttered 'Nood'les. She insists that, since the python isn't wearing any clothes, this counts. Phoenix bangs her head on a wall.)

2020-10-20 02:12:12 +0000 UTCHonest question for anyone. Are pythons like this really that docile? I know next to nothing about snakes and are actually quite frightened of them. Knowing that some can be babie would warm this weirdos heart.
