I Wanted To Draw My Lil Guys For Pride Month With Some Flags

I wanted to draw my lil guys for pride month with some flags

Something @wyfy-meltdown said gave me an idea, so I’m rolling with it!

On an older post about my cartoon, they said this

So I was thinking about creating some new deity’s, but keeping track of all my characters is a mess but I have a character with like no backstory so I gave her this

Camilla is Dusk, and she has a twin brother who is Dawn, they are both children of Day and Night. Technically they aren’t deities in the way their parents are. Both of them are travellers, Camilla being a sailor and Dawn having disappeared ten years prior to the story.

I dunno what or where this idea goes , but it greatly changes the relationship I had planned for Day and Night. Originally they were very far apart and rarely interacted, but if they raised Camilla and her brother (who I haven’t named yet) they would have had to be very close. I’m not sure what their relationship is yet, currently I’m going with friends but like a super deep friendship, since they’ve known each other since time eternal. Bestest soul friends? I toyed around with the idea of them being lovers but that seemed a tad boring. But I wanted to keep them raising the twins.

As for the sun and moon, they are merely manifestations of Day and Night, the stars are just stars, minus the morning and evening stars, those are Camilla and her brother.

The line between what is and isn’t a deity is a bit blurry because death isn’t a fully formed concept in the dream world, so nobody is truly alive or dead.

Let me hit it let me HIT IT

Character Lore: Smiley

Trigger warning: Suicide, abuse, neglect, alcohol abuse, murder. Its not like horrific but I have no idea how the average person feels about such topic so I’m warning anyway

Twenty six years before Ash fell through the veil in the cardboard house, a girl named Hailey lived in its parallel.

Hailey was afflicted with horrible luck from birth, her mother dying during childbirth, and her father being a piece of shit.

Neglected since infancy, its a miracle she made it to the age of six, where she entered the first grade having missed kindergarten.

She was severely behind her peers in academics and social skills, getting bullied quite a bit for this.

Bitter and alone, she met her first and only friend. The silhouette of the small girl grinned up at her from the pavement.

Smiley outlasted the average imaginary friend, with Hailey insisting they were real until the age of eleven, when she learned that lying was the best route to staying out of trouble. She stopped talking about Smiley, but not to them. The two still maintained a close friendship.

Around this time, Hailey’s anger issues began to alienate her from others. She eventually learned that relying on anyone else was not the best idea.

And so this was life for five years, until the fateful day when Hailey was sixteen. Her father was home and angry and drunk out of his mind. He hit her, throwing her across the room. At this point something finally snapped in the girl’s head. She took a kitchen streakknife and stabbed her father with it.

(God that sounded like a creepy pasta murder, I will show myself into the bucket of tacks I belong in for writing those last two sentences)

Horrified, she turned the blade on herself, ignoring her friend’s pleas, and she took her life via her wrists, hence why Smiley wears those red leather cuffs

Two dying people and a a crumbling figment of the imagination must have been of interest for a younger deity who had crossed into the “real world” that night, intent on seeing it for themself.

The veil had thinned to such a degree allowing Smiley to stumble over, their last look at the world behind was of Hailey’s dying body.

Over their time there, a gateway had begun to root itself in the house, long known by neighborhood children as haunted. The “real world” house had fallen into disrepair, no one daring touch the place where such a tragedy occurred. On the other side of the gateway, through the veil, a broken home of cardboard and sadness had built itself, with Smiley still lingering on the other end, playing the children’s games of pretend she and Hailey used to play.

Fun facts about the character

•Hailey and Smiley had one stuffed rabbit growing up, and after a few years in the cardboard house, it appeared there too

• Camilla and Smiley are like sisters, Camilla taking her under her wing

• There is a long running dislike between Smiley and Clover, nobody knows why and they refuse to explain

•Smiley is the first character introduced in the dream world

•They love tea, especially fruity ones, by any of them are great

•While relatively small, they grow about an inch in early morning sunlight or late afternoon sunlight

•Their original voice made me lose mine for like a day it was super raspy

Im not even sure this will stay the same because I dont know if it’s allowed to be depicted in a cartoon

• Smiley used to always smile, hence their name. They gained the ability to frown and stuff upon moving to the Othwrworld
