everyone gave him the fan name “cracked-head” which i thought was really funny!!

But his real name is “BROTHER”

DISCLAIMER: IF YOU DRAW CUPHEAD OR MUGMAN WITH HAIR THATS FINE I DONT HATE YOU!!! I’m just stating a design preference I have lol

that being said:

Oh my god i absolutely hate cuphead with hair i think i went on a rant about this a month ago

1) It always looks like pee. No matter what anyone does, fluffy, spikey, bubbly whatever its yellow liquid and i hate it

Why is he blonde?????

2) IT RUINS THE BALANCE OF HIS CHARACTER DESIGN!!!! His design is so balanced with the handle and the big eyes and the bent straw and the small nose its PERFECT. He’s so cute and so balanced and idc if you think he looks bald when he takes the straw out.

3) It makes him look too human. He’s not a human. He’s a cup!!! HES A CARTOON!!!!!

4) It just doesn’t suit him :\ or mugman. I dont like that its HAIR. Its not supposed to BE THERE!!!

If i were to give them hair i’d do it like this (warning old art, WHICH I STILL HATE!!!!!)

i don’t think you all comprehend how many 420 kids is

I wanted to make a joke about how osmin would say “ok everyone gets 2-5 minutes at mom’s grave”

But i wasn’t sure. So i multiplied 2 minutes for every 1/420 kids

do you wanna know how long they’d be there? if every ozling got to spend 2 minutes with their mom’s grave?

They’d be there for

FIFTEEN (15) HOURS.

So to answer your question: There would be way more than triplets. There would be like ten ozlings who would have all been born consecutively.

So in conclusion: Don’t think about it too much.

The printer must have glitched LMAO

yes

So when writing Mugman we took a lot of research into account obviously (cue the 15 text books and online research papers falling from the ceiling)

But there was also a lot of personal stuff put into it.

I wont go into heavy detail because personally i’m not comfortable with a bunch of internet strangers knowing about me or my sibling this closely, but just know that we have both done our research and are just. Knowledgable.

OCD was a big factor in his character. Flygutzz was the main writer for that part, as they have the most experience with it. I consulted them the most before we wrote anything (including this post LOL) And they were the main guy to yay or nay any decisions going forward.

But its ok if you interpret it as something else as well!!

Ironically, and i fear i have to admit it: The thing that helped me most with intrusive thoughts was a SANDERS SIDES video. Thanks Thomas Sanders /gen 😭

No no its a good question!

Toons, mostly porcelain and chinaware, that subscribe to the Calix Animi are the ones who’s souls are protected this way.

We haven’t had the time in the comic to really EXPLAIN the calix animi yet so hopefully we’ll get an ask during the questionnaire segment so the cups can explain! I PROMISE IT’LL MAKE MORE SENSE if these guys EVER catch a break to explain 😭

Ask Blogs are all about chance lmao 💀

yep! Oona is shorter than Osmin

And while we’re here, i already did Osmin so how about some OONA FUN FACTS!!

- She and betty are good friends, and met at the Ink and Paint!

- Oona wanted to be an actress but the industry isn’t very conducive to help support such a large family right now.

- She’s been very insecure about how she’s the only cat now in the family

- Her name was chosen by Fly and I when we found out Oona was a name that literally meant “One” seeing as shes the only cat in the family… now that her mom uh….

- She’s closer with Mickey than her father due to the fact that Mickey actually talks to her now, but before she was very close with Oswald. Thats not the case anymore.

- She’s the eldest daughter and eldest child over all

- When she gets her sibling-sanctioned vacation day, she’d like to go rollerskating or sit by the ocean for a little bit. Betty would obviously take her shopping and she enjoys that.

- She once met Jessica Rabbit and got so flustered she spilled a milkshake all over herself. She has nightmares about that day

- She’s got a nice singing voice :]

- yes, she and the ozlings can purr. But she’s more likely to hiss at you if you get too close.

BUILD UP!!! BUILD UP BUILD UP BUILD UP!!!!!

Angst and Climax are ALL dependent on how you build up to it!

I see too many stories and shows that go RIGHT into the climax with NO build up whatsoever

Often this is with romance but its also with angst. You have to answer these questions

- What happened to make this so sad

- Why should we care about this

- How could this have been avoided

one of my favorite moments of angst in the story was sheba’s part and the guilt she feels for accidentally causing a terrible scene to happen at Sally Stageplay’s show.

Before this: We see sheba is confident and fearless, and the only thing that makes her falter is a mention of two feared bounty hunters.

We then move into her past where she was seen getting rejected from another show and we see her talk to two innocent kids.

We build up how young these two boys are by appearance, the way they speak, the way they act and how they interact with each other and a random woman they find.

Then we end it off pretty innocuously.

only for it to drop that Sally is now in critical condition, and this all could have been avoided if Sheba hadn’t said anything.

Not only that, Sheba just saw two ruthless hitmen as CHILDREN standing INFRONT OF HER. What stopped them from making HER the next target? Could she have stopped it from going to sally? could she have stopped the boys from going down this path? Could she have done ANYTHING?

She could’ve said nothing.

And to top it all off, one of the boys now sports her haircut, fully cementing that she and them are connected, and that she could have left an impact. She could have done something. said something, stopped something.

And instead, she cuts her hair.

(OBVIOUSLY we, as the readers, know that there’s no way sheba could have known or done anything but that doesn’t remove her guilt. And thats what makes it tragic!!!)

ANYWAYS!

- Build up your characters

- Build up the setting the scene the environment

- set the tone

- DROP THE BALL (angst) ON EM

- tell em how this could all have been avoided.

I’m no expert so take it with a grain of salt like usual but thats kinda how i wrote that scene :]

To you and anyone who passed or didn’t pass: I am very proud of you :]

Academia is something i always struggled with so no matter what: if you are still pursuing an education, and you’re doing you’re best: I am proud of you!

Lets get through this next semester together!!!

I dont think i can put them into just ONE sin, they kinda embody all of the sins at one point in their lives. The characters aren’t the best people.

But ironically thats kinda what makes them feel more human! Wouldn’t you agree?

REMEMBER! EVERYTHING I SAY ONWARDS IS A SUGGESTION, NOT A LAW, AND IS PURELY BASED ON HOW WE WRITE!!! EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT THERE IS NO “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” ADVICE!! TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT

We had SO MANY ISSUES with too many crazy plot points i 100% get it.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but sometimes to make the story make sense you may want to kill your darlings. That doesn’t mean kill your characters it means get rid of some plot points ):

NOW. IM NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO DO THAT. I’m saying that its the most cohesive way to make a story make sense.

So many concepts (that you can see on our patreon!) were completely scrapped and thrown away just because it was too crazy or didn’t make any sense and we just had to be okay with that. Sacrificing for your story.

BUT! There is a HARDER AND MORE TEDIOUS way to keep all of your plot points: And thats with lots. and lots. and LOTS. of red string.

- When you have a plot, slice it into parts so you don’t get overwhelmed by your own story and work your way from there.

- Next, create a rough timeline of what you want to accomplish/tell in each part that will solve an existing problem OR lead to ANOTHER problem in the next part.

- Write down bullet points for what you want to do and say in that part, what the characters are feeling where your characters are what they are trying to accomplish and do that for each part.

- Take your characters and play with them a lil bit. Put them in different scenarios from a theme park to the depths of a cave. What would they act like? How would they act in this situation? Why are they acting like that? What are they doing/going to do? How will this event affect them?

- AFTER you have all this written down you’re gonna write a time line of events LEADING to your story’s current setting and oh my god its a lot i know

I know this is a lot of work. This is all the time and effort we put into this series to make it enjoyable for everyone

But the main thing is: Fly and I ENJOY WRITING AND DRAWING IT. Its something we love to do.

You can’t do everything for someone else. Not everyone is going to love what you create, and you have to be okay with it. You don’t have to LIKE that, but you have to be at peace with that fact.

As long as YOU like the story, you’ll find ways to improve it as you go.

Our first draft was TERRIBLE. But we loved it, and we loved making it. Every art piece has a piece of the artist inside, a piece that the artist loves or hates or is confused by.

I know this all sounds corny and sappy but i mean this: You’ll be fine. Start writing! You can always edit a page of text, but you can never edit a blank page.

You’ll catch yourself if you fall :]

Ah ah ah!!! You can’t trick me!!!

i’m kidding here have this:

- They met under a starry sky

- They get wounded

- They break up

- Some get back together. maybe.

- their backstories are kinda not very nice

- They like to sing and dance and play and not get killed hopefully

- Man idk i suck at writing romance so hopefully y’all don’t hate em ENTIRELY 😭

Anyways ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Have fun and ship whatever i dont care :P

Mugman wins with fists

Cuphead uses his legs and he wins

Mugman’s got strong arms, Cuphead’s got strong legs!
