#Doodles #Just Desserts #Villainsona #True Villainy AU #Vent I guess?? Lol #Features Kaiein: Checks out lol #Charm is just constantly the ''Aren't you tired of being nice'' meme haha #Got caught in a thought spiral the other day :/ Wanted that to change! Most easily summarized with what she says #Honestly kinda thinking that one along the lines of the Hero/Villain greeting/standoff #Gosh I want to redraw that one already hgg! It suits the TVAU so well!!! #Well I've got other TVAU stuff anyhow #More Classic first tho - no that's not blood lol it's just dyes #Anyone remember Pudding Layer Cake? Probably not I'd kinda like to draw them again too ♪ #It did make me consider how food-safe dyes might affect JDCitizens' blood tho - would it get into their blood stream or just be digested? #I have enough rainbow-blood characters lol but it Could be fun to have one more! Lol probably not tho #Anyway yeah she just wrecked shop but literally at the dye place - an easy thing to do when you're Literally on fire #Hurting people? ❌ Destruction of property? ☑️ #Okay Now TVAU stuff lol #Charm is not in a great place even when she retakes the throne #That's a weird thought haha - that she's been there before but was convinced she wasn't satisfied the first time so she did it all again #Guess that tracks at least - if the first time didn't soothe her why would it this time #Some Hamlet - dripping poison into the ruler's ear - fed lies and vitriol and pain to bolster her fear and desperation #Isn't he just so helpful #And ending off with a mirror motif!! Heck!!! Can't believe I haven't done it before now I Love mirror motifs and she has So many forms lol #Even if she feels like she doesn't have anyone else - doesn't trust anyone to not reject or fear her - anyone she hasn't irreparably hurt #There's always someone she could return to - return to being - and maybe start to build back up #The difference in their wings hh <3 And that Charm Classic isn't Evil Time! She just wants her back! She can be better she just knows it! #The TVAU is hard on her :(

I know this flavour, it’s on the tip of my tongue... (Patreon)

#Doodles #Villainsona #Just Desserts #Vent #True Villainy AU #Okay now see this one's Definitely an AU haha #I feel like whenever I draw canon/close-to-canon Charm with her hair down I Have to draw TVAU Charm as well! It's her actual design! #Not that her actual design doesn't still need work - that outfit I swear it devolves every time I draw her lol #But it's more The Vibes y'know #Any guesses on what flavour it might be? It's not sweetness I can tell you that! Haha #A lot of TVAU!Charm comes down to control - I mean Charm Classic does too but Kaiein's influence does Some Stuff to her psyche #Then again so does it for the Early Powers AU lol - Control being one of EPAU!Charm's themes! It's a theme all the way around haha #I guess in this case she's just a lot less subtle about it lol #Less coercive and more blantant haha #The first set reminds me a lot of one of Kaiein's quotes: ''Please never ask for anything ever again'' #Punishing asking permission! Punishing checking in! Punishing needing anything and expressing that! #And we all know what happens when the first warning is punished - the default becomes to attack from the onset #If it's no longer safe to Ask but the need still isn't met then - according to what has been learned - Demands are the only remaining option #She's not doing great haha #Also ft. the Extremely rare instance of TVAU!Charm snapped out of it for a second - not Evil Time is basically unheard of and if Kaiein saw- #She's starting to question things #That one is also a reference! To his ''Special'' set except its inverse haha - he feeds her a lot of contradictory ideas #Mostly to keep her off balance and more reliant on him but also just in general to whatever suits his purposes #In this case he was playing up her Exceptionalism (neutral (derogatory (manipulative)) and it was enough to have her step back #Do not take him at his word Charm he's a fraud down to his non-existent bones!
