RuPaw's Legends: Iguanja Estranja

WHO WANTS MORE QUEENS?  WE ALL WANT MORE QUEENS!

Yas gawd, it's Drag Derby lip sync assassin Iguanja Estranja!  Whether she's performing sickening death drops, championing trans rights or just kicking back with something green, this legendary lizard is the total package.

Based on the one and only Laganja Estranja:  https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2021/11/22/la...

I Mean To Rule The Earth As He The Sky

We really know our worth, the sun and I!

If you are aware of anything about me you know I am a great lover of theatre/opera.  Absolutely nothing hits like Gilbert and Sullivan's 1880s master class in song and melody, THE MIKADO.  It's a screwball comedy punching up at snobs in then-England; however, William Gilbert was the world's first prominent weeb, and set his play in Edo Japan.  He might as well have set it on Mars for all he knew (for example, the character in my dr...

Three Little Scouts From Camp

Clem's best friends to this day are her buddies from Camp Hillbottom, when she was a Beacon Scout.  Josiah Steward is a black caiman and Hadrian Gallin is a purple gallinule.  They're shown here at about 12 years old, hence Clem's lack of baby stripes.

The trio refer to each other by their surnames.  Steward is a compassionate but cynical kid, a realist and somewhat of a sourpuss.  He's lived a hard knock life in Bradydale, and camp with his pals has always been the ...

RuPaw's Legends: Latrice Royalctopus

Who wants more queens??  I want more queens!!

She's large and in charge, chunky yet funky, octopedal yet regal, she's none other than Latrice Royalctopus!  The cephalopodess goddess rocked the world and all seven seas on RuPaw's Drag Derby and Paw Stars.  When she says "Good GAWD get a grip gurl", you know you've been gripped!

Peach Bird

I'll have to expedite this one while it's still a meme, heh.  Communication, my dudes!  It saves feelings and peaches!

This is a parody and a lighthearted gag about passive aggression in relationships.  Don't hassle Momlife (Peach Mom).  In fact, don't hassle anyone.

September Special: St. Charlification!

There are still members of the Junior Gala cast who will be making cameos in When We Fly, with shiny new species!  Which of these classic JG couples would you like to see St. Charlified next?  I will be drawing all of them eventually, but as Patrons you get a sneak peek!  Please only one vote per Patron.

August Shout Out!

Frog Patrons are the best in the universe!  We may be small but we are mighty!  Special thanks go out to August's Friends of Frog and up: Nutjob, Tineid, Heartshine, Unsingable_Name, Dragonpone, Floydiana, Greypon3, Jonathan, Jose Rosa, La Limule, Lopoddity, Luke the Foxen, Markus Frisen, Rhys and Swissair171!  You are so valuable to me.  All my thanks!

Gold Star Girls

You may be wondering if there's going to be a Diamond Tiara expy in WwF.  Well, there is not.  Outside of the amusing context of "it's Diamond Tiara and Apple Bloom", Diamondbloom really just feels like a mutually abusive relationship.  It worked for JG.  It doesn't work here.

Rather, Beck Stomp's major interpersonal focus is on her mostly-friendly rival, Tapia Barrios.  Beck and Tapia are intellectual equals who are in constant competition for the eventual vale...

Gritty In Pink

Fools are about to faint and wake up screaming at the PokeCenter, because Deadeye has teamed up with Cookie, Lillie's burly and surly Clefable.  Cookie was created for the Alola headcanon I was messing with and may someday bring to fruition (I have a whole lot of ideas and not a whole lot of time, dig?).

The Best Boys

Rudy is a Stenella, but he still counts!

Ike is a character who has gone through rather major changes since I first introduced him; sometimes I don't even notice when a character is evolving, so thanks go out to Lopoddity for pointing this one out.  My original idea for Ike involved him trying to live as a woman for much of his life, only embracing his masculinity relatively recently.  I have since decided that Ike comes out as a man much earlier, in his late teens.  The ...

Silent But Deadly!

Deadeye teams up with Jupiter (a Grovyle belonging to Eterna's own Gardenia Natane herself) to go adventuring.  Trouble strikes when the duo are ambushed by a pack of savage Whismur!  If there's one thing Deadeye can't abide, it's a round, pink upstart that thinks it's hot shit.

Bound For Greatness

18-year-old Ike models his first binder.  Who's prouder, Ike or Gnewt?

You may think Gnewt is just a good dude, and certainly he is, but he put in the leg work to understand and help his son.  Even while he was still with Ike's mother, Gnewt would sneak off to the library and research sexuality and gender identity on the internet (home computers weren't as popular then).  Gnewt joined PFLAG and was the one to figure out how to get a binder for Ike.  I would proclaim ...

Deadeye And The Queen

I wasn't planning on raising a Golem in my Shining Pearl game, but it seems the Queen chose me.  Luisa was the rock-solid leader that carried my whole team from start to finish.  She's a gentle giant outside of battle, so Deadeye has no beef with her.

I know Golem canonically has no tail, but I feel like it would help her steer her movements.

Deadeye VS Longboi

I'm in the mood for Pokemon, people!  Deadeye Jigglypuff was one of my first ever Pokemon, from way back in the 90s.  She has grown old, raggedy and full of spit and vinegar, just like me.  She should not be crossed.  By "double slap" she means "twice with a shattered bottle to the face".

Did you know that Furret is canonically as big as Charizard?  I find this amusing, and envisioned a battle between Deadeye and this massive monster mustalid.  In before KA...

Clive Won't Climb

Clive is a Sneasler.  They're supposed to enjoy climbing.  Clive enjoys judging you.

A lot of people online think Sneasler is sexy because it has long legs.  This is apparently all a Pokemon needs to inspire desperate thirst in the folks at home.  Does Gardevoir even have legs?  Don't Google that.

Also I pretty much suck at Legends of Arceus.  I don't like 3D overworld games.  I need to get gud before Pokemon Grape and Other Red come out.

Tutti Frutti, Grown Rudy

St. Charlie's favorite cetacean son, a grown dolphin!  

Rudy is caring and protective as a youngster and as an adult, and he has interest in helping others learn to defend themselves.  My tentative plan for Rudy is that he sticks with taekwondo and opens his own dojo.  He lives a quiet and harmonious life with his /beagle-mutt/, Peach.

Monkey See, Monkey Grew

It's everyone's favorite American Girl, Annalise, all grown up!  Following in the footsteps of Ike, Horatio, and Lazelle, our spunky snow monkey pursues a life of musical theatre.  Nobody prances like a primate!

The question on the minds of the people, no doubt, is whether Annalise grows up to marry Rudy.  Well, spoilers...they don't end up together.  They do, however, remain one another's ride-or-die bestie all their lives.

Straight To Heaven In A Range Rover

This isn't evocative enough for me to limit viewership.  I make the calls around here!

Sometimes on evenings before I have to go back to the office I like to freestyle for my mental health.  I play some tunes and experiment with figure drawing and see where we go.  If you enjoy this sort of thing, give me and Spoon a shout!

Her Honor The Hare

I may expedite this one for public post, since I just posted Trissie on DA and FA.  I would love to introduce to you the mayor of Bradydale, your humble (and somewhat eccentric) public servant, Lucinda "Lucky" Lightfoot!

In playing with my desperately innocent belief in the existence of politicians who actually DO want to help their communities, Lucky went into politics out of love for her native Bradydale.  With intense focus on championing and funding mental health initiativ...

RuPaw's Legends: Alaska Thunderfrog

I'm a big fan of drag and RuPaul's Drag Race in particular.  I'm going to be drawing some of the great Ru Girls as denizens of the St. Charlies universe.  Or Ru-niverse if you're nasty.

Alaska Thunderfrog appeared on RuPaw's Drag Derby Season 5 and went on to win Paw Stars 2.  Known for her dark comedy and eclectic styles (as well as her alter ego Lil' Pondcake), this frog is pure poison onstage.  She is the same species as Agnes, though they are not related (much to...

Cool Cats And Chili /Dogs/

The US doesn't take European football as seriously as the rest of the world, but many large cities do have professional soccer clubs.  Franzie is a lifelong Fußball fan, and she's not going to let a little thing like being in her 90s stop her from watching the St. Charlies Chili /Dogs/ tear up the field.  Her full time nurse, Serra Nattereri (a red bellied piranha), has no objection to accompanying Franzie to her beloved games.  Alsesta doesn't care about sports so mu...

I'm Thinking About The Fireworks...

...that go off when you smile.

It would be so easy to just have Clem mooning over Piggy Sue 24/7, and certainly there will be plenty of that.  But the relatively cute Piggy Sue is completely taken by Clem as well.  The wild sow might seem somewhat plain, but she sets that sweet pink heart aflutter.

This is such a happy song and I'm thus inspired... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2bVe8uhRzg<...
