#Eglantine the Fake Peppino

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Gonna be honest every single time I see ya draw a baby clone I just feel like my heart's gonna explode from cuteness- [ like seriously they're so cute I can't take it!!!!!! Stop before my heart explodes!!!!! /Lh ]

(Get exploded anon (lighthearted/silly!!!)

Or perhaps you would like slighter older but still baby clones!!!

But really, thank you!!! I do love to draw babies hehe)

Idea: A Peppino clone with the DNA of a honey badger or skunk.

Eglantine - the clone in this post - has similar DNA to a skunk! It's striped polecat DNA, which is not skunk, but close enough, and they also have the defensive spray, hence Eg being a 'stinky gorl'

But I like the honey badger idea! Small and mighty, with near impenetrable and elastic skin! Too bad the WAR clones are easily thwarted by simply picking them up by the scruff, hehe

#pizza tower #pizza tower oc #OC: Eglantine the Fake Peppino #idk what to call the WAR clone yet #maybe something bacon related bc they pink and stripy #why are they pink? bc I wanted them to be hehe #and extra scruffy with the wolverine chops #I might make an actual skunk clone later #but thanks for the ideas anon! #edit: little guy has a name! #OC: Pancetta the Peppiclone

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

My brain is just imagining Eglantine somehow yeeting chickpea

(Eg might not be able to yeet Chickpea, like she did with Peppino or Pancetta, but she can do this;

More of a flip than a yeet, but still, hehe)

#ooc post #Chickpea the Fake Peppino #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #why did she do this? #bc she could I guess #also please imagine Chickpea making the sound cats do when you wake them up but like bass boosted by 100

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

YO PEPPINO JUST GOT FLUNG OMG XD

(He did! And he was flung many more times that day, since Eg solves all her problems by yeeting them as far as possible

Another example of this with nameless clone (do not worry, he is fine! He is very resilient!!!)

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #Peppino was probably not shot putted... #Shot putt??? #either way Eg was sat down the whole time and couldn't be bothered to give her all #she got up and wandered off eventually #after hours of Peppino and the gang trying to move her out the way of the door #there was a tag that said 'stupid rat behaviour' on the last post and I can not stop thinking about it #I didn't even make the connection and it is so true #so thank you for that #we will get back to Bean soon! I am just having no thoughts only Eg moment right now #edit: he has a name now! #Pancetta the Peppiclone

Post for Context

Bean did not see who it was, and the silhouette was simplified to add to the mystery! All we know for sure is that it was a wide Fake Peppino with large forearms, and there's quite a few of those hehe

There is a 'correct' answer, but if one of the 'decoys' win, then it might change the story! Only a minor change for the intermission, Not like a major impact on the main story, bc this is just for fun!

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

We've already seen how Fake Peppino reacts to Eglatine's smell, so would the real Peppino react the same way?

(Peppino would not react as strongly, bc his sense of smell is not as strong as Pep's, but it'd still be pretty bad and irritate his eyes/nose if he's too close to her for long

But Peppino would probably have a bigger problem if Eg decides to hang around the pizzeria

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #she's not aggressive but she'll throw her weight around if needed #she also loves to sit in doorways and be impossible to move #Pep can't be around her for long while she is so stanky so Peppino is trying to move her from the front door #it went... super well #I hope you enjoy the Eg content bc she is my baby gorl #I am also very stressed out so I need da silly posts to stay sane

You mentioned once that Eg has both polecat and dart frog DNA, right? That implies that other clones can have more than one type of animal mixed with them. Thinking of the possibilities is exciting :)

(That is correct! Now it is time for 'Bean talks about clone OCs again!!!' (Also Bean is not a scientist, and we are using cartoon logic, so do not come at them for inaccuracy!!!)

In the most simple of terms, there are three groups that clones can be classified into! (Well, four, but we'll get into that)

The first group is clones with just a single species of animal (or plant!) spliced into their DNA, with examples being Spud (Star-Nosed Mole) and Mirtillo (Common Vampire Bat)

These guys are probably second most common! Giving clones specific traits without the risk of mixing DNAs and causing the clone to explode or something

The second group is clones with more than one set of DNA, but those animals are all the same species, ie Vitelotte having only spider DNA (Jumping Spider, Wolf Spider, Tarantula etc (side note, no specific subspecies bc there are so many spiders I do not have the spoons to look through them all and pick some out kjfdsjf)), and Mint Chip having shark DNA (Tiger Shark and Thresher Shark)

These guys are probably the most common type as they (the scientists) were giving clones specific traits from animals like the singular DNA clones, but also did not want to be limited if one type of species could do something another couldn't

And then Eg falls into the third group of having more than one set of DNA from different animals! As mentioned, she has Striped Polecat (aka African Skunk or Zorilla) and Blue Poison Dart Frog DNA! Another example, bc I need to have two examples, is BB, who is a mix of Boer Goat, African Lion, Ball Python, and King Cobra!

This group is the rarest out of the three, bc mashing together DNAs like that often resulted in failure, but that does not mean they are few and far between!

And last, but not least, special cases!!! This is the group Pep falls into, even tho he should technically be in the third group, he is packed with so many different kinds of DNA, he is very much an outlier here

And there are a few other outliers, who would also technically be in one of the previous groups, but what makes them different is that they were not purposely spliced with certain DNAs, and were the result of cross-breeding (two (or more) different clones with different DNAs making a baby), or cannibalism (eating another clone and absorbing their set(s) of DNA)

#ooc post #lore tag #did I use this as a bit of an excuse to draw clones again? yeah hehe #also take a sip of water Bean made another fat clone with big hands!!! #well big paws bc this guy got BEANS #and yes you can hug them before anyone asks!!! #also also did not mean for all the clones on the left to be looking at the clones on the right with varying levels of confusion kjfjkf #but sailor bees sailor bees #Spud the Fake Peppino #Mirtillo the Peppiclone #Vitelotte the Peppiclone #Mint Chip the Peppiclone #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #BB the Fake Peppino #and Pep but I do not tag him for some reason #oh also #cannibalism mention

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

How would Fake Peppino react to Eglatine?

(Very cheeky of you anon!!! But I can not be mad, bc clearly you follow my art blog, hehe

Pep would be curious, but probably be pretty put off by her... Strong scent

But once he is used to it, or Eg stops being so aggressively stank, they'd probably get along)

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #follow my art blog if you wanna see my hoard of clone ocs that haven't appeared here jkdfkjfd #okay self-promotion over it is time for bed

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

(Dropping this quick Eg ref for noooooooo reason at alllllll

No, I must not lie, there is a reason; since there were no asks describing 'Egbert' to Fiend, I realise maybe folks don't know whose that supposedly isss? And tbh I am also assuming, bc idk if the anon who originally send the ask intentionally said 'Egbert' as a joke, or genuinely misremembered her name kfdkf

But I am pretty sure 'Egbert' is Eglantine, bc they both Eg names, but even if it is not, it is who we are going with jfhjkf)

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #I did get only one (related) ask after the last intermission post so I figured it was time to help a little jkdskjd

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

I want to Hug Eg, I have no nose so yuh

You have no ears either. Do not make me repeat myself again.

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #oh shit she speaking #I got this ask right after she clearly said no and I am just like having a nose is not the issue #no more hug asks for Eg please she does not want any!!! #I also said I do not want to draw too many hug asks but there will be one more after this kjdfkj #and then I have to do what I was supposed to be doing today kgkfdfdv

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Can eg throw me to the moon

(No, she sleeping

Also, she does not know what the moon is, and I'm pretty sure Canada isn't real (silly!!!))

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #also she wouldn't toss any of ya if you have to ask #she only throws folks when she's being bothered #and when it's funny

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

give eg an egg.....

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #she enjoys the cronch

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Has EG ever taken a bath?

(Eg has never had a bath with like the intention to clean herself, and she probably never will! Using soaps will wash off her protective layer of mucus, and it will not have an impact on her smell - She will still stink, ghdsjksdf. Her smell is a result of her diet, not a matter of personal hygiene (she grooms herself frequently, thank you very much!!!)

She is certainly not hydrophobic, tho! She loves swimming, sitting in puddles, and standing out in the rain

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #she is part frog after all #also sorry for no colouring today I do not feel like it #also also reminder that sending the same question more than once does not make me answer it faster #but I was already in the process of answering when I got the second ask so I put them together #no ill will towards asker of course just reminding

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Can I hug EG, please

(She is not the biggest fan of physical touch, and I wouldn't recommend it anyways; Eg is sometimes a little slimy, her stank will rub off on you, and there is a 90% chance she will yeet you (example and example)

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #since you asked first she will not yeet you into space #but any further attempts well let's just say you have been warned #there are other clones who would like hugs! #but there is a limit of hugs I will draw bc I get so many and I will be here forever if I draw them all kjdffsd

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Does EG eat durians?

(Not usually! She eats whatever is available to her, which is often literal garbage, so I doubt she has ever had one, despite smelling like one hehe

I think she would like them tho! Eat them shell...? Skin? Spines?? Idk what you call the outside of a durian, but she'd eat that too, and then smell like death for a while

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #she is enjoying it! she is not very expressive in the face if you haven't noticed jhfdk #but I have only drawn her nonchalant or very mildly annoyed #she might unlock a new expression later but it is time for the new guy

[ask-the-totally-real-peppino]

Lil' angy baby eglantine

(Yes, at the grand old age of three days, Eg decided she was sick of people touching her!!! Unfortunately, she got touched a lot, bc the gummy bear stage meant a lot of being moved around and needing to be cleaned frequently!!! So all she could do was angrily wheek or squeal like a desert rain frog!!!!

Also fun baby Eg fact; During her time in the time in the lab was the only time she smelt nice!!! Mostly like strawberry milk, bc she ate a lot of milk and fruits)

#ooc post #Eglantine the Fake Peppino #her tapes are somewhere they're pretty funny #also the strawberry milk smell is based on the last time I saw my nephew and he smelt like very sweet strawberries #that might just be new baby smell also but I am not around newborns a lot jkfdksfd
