I wanna be your bad influence. The devil on your shoulder that says one more slice of cake wouldn’t hurt. Or two. Or three.
“Go ahead and eat the whole pizza. It’s the weekend, you can let loose a little.”
“I accidentally made too many cookies. You should take them and eat them all. I can’t have them going to waste.”
“Oh you’re full? But I made dessert for you too! Cmon, there’s always room for dessert, right?”
“Oh you already ate? But I really wanna treat you today. Come on, I’m taking you to your favorite restaurant.”
“It’s so hot outside today, you shouldn’t feel bad about eating the whole tub of ice cream. In fact, let me go get you another one.”
“It’s been so cold lately. Here, have another helping of my loaded potato soup. I know it’s really filling, but I’ve gotta keep you warm somehow, you know.”
“So what if you’ve put on a few pounds? It’ll keep you warm in the winter. Here, have another slice of pie. I baked it fresh for you.”
“It’s totally okay to go back for fifths. If you’re hungry, you should eat. And I know you’re always hungry.”
“You deserve to eat the whole cake. It’s your birthday after all isn’t it? This is a perfect way to celebrate.”
“Well we can’t watch a movie without having snacks, can we? You stay here, I’ll be right back with all your favorites.”
“You’ve been working so hard lately. You just sit back, I’ll make you some food and feed it to you.”
“You’ve been tired lately? Well let me get you something to eat. It’ll help you keep your energy up.”
“You’ve already had fast food today? Well you should never ignore your cravings. If you want more then you deserve to get more.”
And you could never say no to me…. Could you?

If ragatha is raggedy Ann.... And Jax is raggedy Andy.....is caine part of looney land? Maybe the king but less pathetic......and to a lesser extent is he gloink queen greedy?(the weird sugar monster who tries to eat raggedy anns heart)
Who's Babette??? Who's the weird hallucinogenic camel???? Gangle??? Idk they both cry a lot XD
hmmm i've thought about it before, and i don't think every character would have a 1 to 1 match, but you raise some good points...
caine being part of looneyland is something i hadn't considered but yeah, that fits... i feel if he were a king figure it'd be a little less about him though... maybe he'd want to torment people to make the "audience" laugh? like a shitty prank show host
and the gloink queen as greedy.... maybe it's just the voice and the mass of her but yeah i can kinda see that...
like what if she was just hangry. what if that was her problem... we never did see the adventure's intended resolution... [i'm joking. kind of. i mean it's possible]
as for the others... i've always seen a bit of kinger in the camel but that miiiight just be this little ''parallel'' that i haven't been able to get out my head
and babette... ohoho... i've seen people draw pomni as her before and honestly that's what i see the most. they are both miserable girls who just want to get home... and it gives me the excuse to draw pomni in a cute outfit so you best believe i'm taking it
andddd because i think this dynamic would be really funny... pomni hater vs. pomni apologist fight
also. i should say, usually when i think about this little crossover, it's with the concept of it being an adventure where caine makes them produce a little film based off a oddly familiar script...
i've got some doodles for 'behind the scenes' stuff but i think i'll leave that for another post bc this one is getting kind of long hehe

Boss vs Player
– The core story design of The Dark Queen of Mortholme –
A game about being the end boss of a game. A hero comes in to challenge you, and even after you mercilessly destroy them, they return. That's because they're the player character, and each time they become stronger as they figure out your mechanics, upgrade their armour, find health potions, etc.
That's what it says in my old design notes, and although the idea's gone a lot further than that, it's still pretty much on point. The game starts with the final boss fight with the slight adjustment that you're playing as the boss. The so-called hero you're facing dies in one hit, unceremoniously. A pathetic attempt against your vastly superior power.
But you've barely made your way back to your throne when they're at the door challenging you again. They might be immortal, but also clearly an idiot. Except this time, they dodge out of the way of your massive weapon. No matter, you crush them on the next swing.
They come back and prickle you with their sad toothpick of a sword. First it was funny, now it's getting annoying.
They keep coming back. It feels too ludicrous to admit, but you're getting a little nervous.
---
It's a story about someone who's been given no room to grow and no ability to learn from mistakes trying to understand someone who has nothing but that. It's the stubborn force of change versus the might of the status quo. The unstoppable force against the immovable object, except the immovable object starts to notice she's crumbling.
If you were a boss facing down your inevitable death after a long dance with your ever-improving opponent, would you begrudge the them for dealing it to you? Would you be proud?
