#Fruitbugs Cocoa

[cycloplasm]

Lots of new guys, lots of test designs! i'll give info on them, starting from up left to bottom right.

Pulasan! He's a drain fly, but he calls himself a 'were drain fly', despite him looking and acting the same way regardless of full moon or not. He lives in the Spooky level's forest, full of dead trees and with an ever present moon. Pulasan just loves to act feral and violent, and is not shy about clawing or biting people. As a result most people avoid him, and that actually makes him sad! He won't under any circumstances drop the 'were' act, but he IS lonesome and wishes someone could understand him. Also, Pulasan has the ability to create wolf spirits, but he seems to no real concept of what a wolf is, and makes them act like bugs (climb on trees for example) when they're not used to attack someone.

Second might be familiar to some, it's Lollipop Climber. He's a horse leech. I'm much more satisfied with his design now. He's a pompous vampire that sticks to all the 'classic' and strange vampire habits, like having to be invited and not being able to touch silver. He's constantly fighting with Bloodlime, Lollipop truly hates him because of the former's taste in music- Lollipop thinks vampires should only create or listen to classic orchestral! In any case, Bloodlime flexes with his big castle while Lollipop wallows in misery in his home, a pile of mud in a dirty pond.

Third one is Jambul, he's a black crazy ant (actual name of the ant). He's actually a very good scientist, if not the best in the Fruitbugs world- however his visual disability and crossed eyes make people not take him seriously. He studies storms, black holes and potatoes- the latter because he wants to create a new energy source. He's a kind person if you get to know him, but Jambul's very focused on his work, to the point he doesn't always sleep. Despite his huge hands and fingers, he's fairly dexterous, but has sometimes issues with what's around him and knock things over.

Fourth one is Quince- the original fruit is only white and fuzzy when it's not ripe, but Quince is just a young adult that could lose his fur as he gets older (but he might not get older since he's a video game character). He's a vampire moth. He works as a clothing store owner- he's affiliated with Cucumber, so Quince's products are high-quality and expensive. As a shop owner he's pretty pushy in a classic salesman manner, with sometimes peer pressure such as 'but you'd look WONDERFUL with this 999.99$ coat!'. Despite his customer pleasing attitude, he's actually kinda mean- he JUST bites people that dislike his style/products, and has the nefarious plan of 'conquering the fashion world', so that Cucumber's brans dominates the whole clothing market. He has this mean side because he was relentlessly bullied in his past, and wants to enforce a new norm to not be left out ever again. His wings were burnt by his bullies, that were initially his friends.

Fifth one is Swenson Red Grape, but he's just known as Swenson. He's a Sabethes Mosquito. He's a star that creates synth music, which is like our world's 80s lyrical music. Swenson composes and writes all his lyrics by himself, and he has few bodyguards and managers- because he dislikes using people and... He didn't actually want to be a star! He just started music in his room, and was peer pressured to do a concert because he was 'talented'. From there he got much more success than he ever wished for, due to the fact that his music is unique in the Fruitbugs world. As a result he's infamous for not being open to fans and paparazzis- he's actually downright cold/dismissive. He often dreams of 'escaping to the countryside' where no one knows his name. He wants to be seen as a person rather than a star/music creating machine.

Sixth one is Coast Live Acorn, Coast for short- he's a conehead mantis. He doesn't look like much of an acorn, but i tried to make him more alien than acorn-like. In any case, Coast is mean! He wants to conquer the Fruitbug world, to make everyone his servants. He believes he's the best alien in the universe, who's above any planet's lifeforms. To achieve his plan, he destroys buildings to rebuild them to his liking. This more annoying than anything for NPCS and other fruitbugs, who have to redecorate their homes from scratch and put away the Coast-shaped furniture.

Seventh is Hawthorne Wildflower, who's a common cricket. He's still the same as before in terms of personality. But i added the fact that he's very caring if you get close to him- he'll craft things for you and bring you... 'Gifts' (animals with 1HP so you can kill them and gain EXP).

Eighth is Criollo Cocoa, he's an unicorn mantis. Like Cocoa, Criollo creates chocolate- except his is very fancy and not poisoned. It's expensive too. He's very snobbish and believes he's above almost everyone, safe for fellow 'high quality' products creators like Cucumber. Criollo also says he's above eating his own chocolate, but occasionally during fancy parties, he'll take one or two without anyone noticing. Deep down he wishes he had more real friends, but he has too much issues interacting with 'regular' people. Except for Nacional Cocoa.

Ninth is said Nacional Cocoa! He's a yellow orchid mantis. He's a mime that loves to perform as the most dramatically sad man in the world. In reality, he's actually sad, but prefers to not let anyone know. The only things that bring him a smile are Criollo and making others laugh with his mime antics. Few people seem to like him though, because of his association with white chocolate that makes people irrationally angry in the fruitbugs world (for no real reason other than taste).

Tenth is Blood Peach, he's a question mark butterfly. He's a knight that works for Nectarine (that i need to update/redesign), and the two actually are in a close platonic relationship with. Blood Peach would do anything for his partner, and like the latter, Blood is no stranger in sending meat eating butterflies to eat his ennemies' flesh. Though he does prefers to fight 'fairly' with his sword if the other person has a weapon.

Eleventh is Peanut, he's a mole cricket. He lives in the Desert level, in an area is like the underground from pkmn Diamond/Pearl. The players must help him extract cool rocks via a minigame that's like fossil extraction from Spectrobs. Don't get him crystals/gems, he thinks those are overrated, he's a 'regular' rock-based geologist. Peanut rarely uses tools to dig, because his claws are efficient and his body is actually half mechanized, hence the smoke pipes coming out of certain parts of him. As a result, he has much more stamina than most people and can dig for hours on end.

Last one is Medlar, he's a girafe weevil. He looks like he has a mascot head on, but that's his actual face- he can emote but chooses not to. He used to work at an amusement park, where he was a mascot that took pictures with people and generally brought joy to the park. But it closed due to financial reasons, and it was left to rot. Medlar, knowing nothing besides how to be a mascot, also was left to rot. He still roams the park, hoping a visitor will come and enjoy the rides, and even take a picture with him to make him feel whole again. Even during the better days of the park, Medlar was obsessed with how people see him- partially because that would be bad rep for the structure, but also because he has zero confidence and relies on people to feel loved and worthy. He does not actually know who he is outside his role as a mascot.

[cycloplasm]

even MORE fruitbugs test designs! From top left to bottom right:

Concord Grape, he's a Citheronia Phoronea caterpillar- but he's an adult, like other caterpillar fruitbugs. Concord is deeply goth, even if the genre doesnt exist (yet) outside of the Fruitbugs game. He rarely smiles or say happy things, except when it comes to horror media- but he'll always say it in a deadpan tone. He has the ability to make people feel fear to various degrees, which he uses to keep people away from him- especially if the person dislikes Concord's favorite horror movies.

Pink Sultana Grape- he's a Roseate Skimmer (dragonfly) and brothers with Concord Grape, and is essentially the only person Concord hangs out with. Different bugs such as a caterpillar and dragonfly being related/family is a common occurence in the Fruitbugs world. Pink Sultana is specifically into pastel goth things, which also doesn't exist outside of the game. Sultana is also a singer- he's not very famous but that's not his goal, instead he wants to inspire people to be themselves. He's a very happy person, but loves horror and scary things like his brother does.

Cucamelon, he's a Cicindela Pulchra Tiger Beetle. i think you can guess his inspiration, but unlike the iconic monster, Cucamelon is not a dead body- instead he's more like a homonculus+GMO fruitbug. He was made by Jambul, who made Cucamelon just to see if he could create life- this why Cucamelon is relatively 'well made'. The latter is in quotations, because while he's mostly symmetrical and functional, Cucamelon suffers from muscular and joint pain, that he 'fixes' by purposefully getting struck by lightning. Jambul left his creation to do as it pleased, since Cucamelon is fully sentient and has ideas of his own. He really got into rockabilly music and fashion, and tries to attend every concert he can- Cucamelon is an especially big fan of Squash and Yellow Platanera's music.

Fredonia Grape, he's a Bat Fly. The yellow part on his face is in fact his true body, the rest is more like a host. He's a vampire AND a knight, but he typically sticks to the latter since his blood meals outside of his host's body are very rare. He knows other knights like Rosehip and Dragonfruit, but they're not friends in the slightest- in fact they fight a lot! Rosehip and Dragonfruit are serious fighters, while Fredonia views it as a game, even if his life is on the line. His sword can create bat-shaped bullets- he's both a long and short range fighter. Fredonia is not a hero by any means, but he's not outright evil either- he just wants to have fun; but most people that understand what he is can't ignore how he uses a host that might have had a life of their own...

Noni- he's a Strepsiptera (one of the weirdest bugs ive ever seen. those eyes). I've posted him before but i reworked him! Now he's a popular disco guy- unlike Mangosteen, Noni doesn't own a dancefloor and just crawls on others' structures and pretend they're his own, like a parasite (until/if he gets caught). He lies about this and many, many other things to appear cooler in order to make people like him despite his faulty, glitchy coding. His skin often glitches out, revealing his organs, and exoskeleton and sketch lines switch out with regular limbs without reason. He also can't coordinate his eyes at all- even if that makes him have a 360degrees vision, he views it as an unlovable flaw among many.

Simka Plum (all three last ones of the first pic are him), he's a Sabethes Mosquito and. A sona 😈 i just needed a Fruitbug AND Sabethes Mosquito sona to go along with Vanilla- Simka is also a horror sona! He's a vampire shapeshifter that can be a were'wolf', a franken monster's husband, and more to come- all comes with a monster boyfriend of course! In vampire cases, Simka interacts with Bloodlime, Lollipop Climber and even Fredonia- but mostly Bloodlime. He's also with Cucamelon and Pulasan, and many other fruitbugs monsters. Simka is a horror guy with specific knowledge of specific stories, mostly a genre of written horror stories called 'scaryspaghetti' and 'neversnooze'. Simka's love is via acts of service, he wants to be his monsters' 'favorite henchman-like guy'.

Coconut, he's a. Coconut crab... What you see is his actual face, with holes instead of eyes and nose, and idk if it's clear but he has stitches on his mouth- i dont know why yet but it's there. What i do know is that despite his unusual features, Coconut is a completely normal and nice guy! He's a photographer- he usually takes pictures of landscapes and animals, but sometimes he takes pics of consenting people/models. But he only ever does pictures for himself, he dislikes selling his art and having companies pester his work with ads and such. Sometimes his eyes or mouth leak coconut milk, but it doesnt mean anything and always have a few tissues to clean his face.

Trinitario Cocoa- he's a Helopeltis Schoutedeni, also known as Cacao Mosquito- but it's not actually a mosquito. Trinitario is essentially a 1920s idealized singer- with a jazz band always playing as he sings about love. He comes off as flirtatious to fans and the like, but in reality Trinitario is doing what he believes is polite. It's very hard to see who he really is behind closed doors/behind his persona. All that's known for sure is that Trinitario was asked several times to sing for Coco and Lemon's mafia underlings, but Trinitario refused without sugarcoating that he won't do art for violent people.

... Yeah, he'll probably be familiar to most of you- i just need to have him in my original setting, so i dont have to be into dltr to make his story... His fruitbug name's Red Velvet Apricot, and he's a Sabethes Mosquito. He lives in the city level, specifically in a part of the city who's black and red, full of futuristic architecture and... The mafias' headquarters. As a result a lot of mean NPCs live there and that affects the 'culture' of the neighborhood. Velvet was once a nice person who got bullied into being mean by NPCs, and while outwardly he acts like he doesnt mind, Velvet wishes things could get better... But one day he met a man who made his heart soar... If you want to see his crush, he's here.. Working on him as well.

Black Diamond Apple, he's a... Well thats a secret for now. I can't say much about yet, besides that he knows Rosehip, is feared by many many people all over the Fruitbugs world, and is so notoriously hard to romance that most players see it as impossible. It's not the case, but it's extremely hard...

Pink Guava, he's a Gyponana octolineata- which is a treehopper. He's related to Swenson Grape, but unlike the latter, Pink Guava is not famous. He does 90s music, but since that's futuristic to both the game's characters and players, it's not popular at all- but he wants to be! So he works hard to achieve his dream. Despite working hard and having an outwardly very happy personality, he has a deep feeling of inadequacy. He also uses 'strange' expressions and words like 'Tubular!' and 'Radical!'- no one knows what that means besides Pink Guava himself.

Lavander- lavanders allegedly makes nuts (allegedly bc i cant find any pictures), so fruitbug (let me have this one). He's a Pink Crab Spider. Despite being a spider, Lavander is not dangerous at all- quite the contrary, he's a cleric/healer! And he's not shy about healing people either- he's an emotional sponge, tell him your problems and he'll heal you and comfort you. However it's not uncommon for him to heal the wrong people if they come up to him- and he never learns, hoping others will realize their actions. He has no attacks besides a simple, extremely low damage bite and staff thwack... He lives in the Fields level, specifically and unsurprisingly, in a lavander field.

Cal Sweet Watermelon- he's a Spined tortoise beetle. He can flip his face and jumble his features to fit his moods. Cal is an unpredictable business man, who can protect others' companies from failing with generous monetary donations, but can also bring them to their doom if he dislikes 1 (one) employee. He can be as dangerous as laws will allow, and as caring as a benefactor. What dictates his choices are unknown, perhaps unknown even to Cal himself.

Finally finished him! I decided that Vanilla was going to be my Fruitbugs sona! He’s a Devil’s Flower mantis, which is in my top 3 fav bugs of all time. So i have mosquito bugsona and a mantis one! Vanilla is basically my Fruitbugs Selfship guy!

Vanilla works in the Coupe de Fruits castle. What does he do? Seemingly nothing! But appearances are deceiving. He's best friends with Strawberry and Cocoa, and romantically/queer platonically with nearly every Fruitbug. He usually keeps his relationships a 'secret' between him and the other person- he seems to like being the 'secret lover of the court'. As a result he loves secret hiding places for each of his lovers, to kiss passionately all the while not being seen. Some of his relationships were (proudly) admitted by certain bosterous Fruitbugs, but Vanilla doesn’t mind! The secret part is just a ‘fun little thing’ he likes to do.

Vanilla’s calm, yet passionate personality seem to captivate many fruitbugs, and Vanilla values each and every one of his lovers. He’s willing to listen to almost anything and is patient, even with the most... Annoyingly prideful Fruitbugs. If anything he seems to REALLY like prideful guys, but then again that’s 80% of the game’s characters. It is rumored that Vanilla does paintings/art of his lovers- but even the more talkative fruitbugs don’t spill anything about it. That being said, Vanilla has boundaries and can turn into his huge, monstruous true form if anyone annoys him or his lover(s). 

#o #fruitbugs vanilla #fruitbugs #the only fruitbugs vanilla is NOT with: Olive (aroace; with Cherry). Blackthorn and Carolina Reaper #(together- not open to poly) #Mistin Nightshade (deleted from the game so not available) #on top of my head that's all i think! all other +40 fruitbugs characters are with Vanilla and poly with the player #selfship POWER THRU MY VEINS!!! *Marries all my bf ocs* I Recommend This!

Cocoa!! Even tho he doesn’t look too much like a fruit, he’s a Fruitbug!! And he’s a biscuit kite spider. Yes, that’s a real thing in real life.

Cocoa is very creative person, and loves to bake cakes, biscuits and the like. That’s actually the mini game that’s required to be won to be able to interact with him. If the player’s baking is not only good but also creative, he’ll let them access his biscuit shop, who sells Cocoa’s own creations… Who happen to all contain poison. Cocoa’s a spider, and he thinks adding his venom to his confections is his way of ‘putting his heart into his work’. It’s not deadly or painful poison thankfully, but those who ingest it tend to have symptoms similar to a fever, and will get very tired. Of course since it’s virtual food, the players don’t have to worry about getting those symptoms themselves- the poison instead affects the game, making it unplayable for a few hours. Honestly, Cocoa IS aware of the effect his poison has on people, but he hopes that they’ll tough it out to express their love and affection for him; or that he’ll one day find someone who can eat his creations without being affected by the poison.

I just got home from top surgery so im very tired but im trying to draw anyway! Im continuing my own candy challenge thing to have clear goals and go through the days more easily. Hot chocolate and Stawberry prompts featuring familiar faces.

#o #fruitbugs strawberry #fruitbugs cocoa #i did the lines before going to the hospital so that’s why they look better than the colors #not super satisfied with strawberry’s outfit design but 🤷‍♂️ #fruitbugs

[cycloplasm]

im doing my own list of things i posted earlier. idk if i’ll go all the way thru and/or share all the drawings. day 1 is cookie feat Cocoa; i said that my list was chara design but Cocoa was created as my go-to chocolate thmed design so bam.

For this thing (or maybe this month) i want to try my hand at NOT cleaning my lines too much to 1) save energy (i take a long time cleaning and it’s not always fun) and 2) beat and punch my perfectionism. Enjoy the Raw

#o #Fruitbugs Cocoa #konceptdrawign #<- my tag for uncleaned lineart drawings #cool cocoa biology fact- he just HAS to have a big.. Collar thing around his neck #normally he's wearing the one shown in his previous pictures- it's the one he was created with #and he CAN remove it but he NEEDS to have his neck covered bc... It's raw. there's no skin. For NO reason. So he HAS to wear something #to protect it and his vocal cords... though it doesn't have to be as oversized as shown above or the regular one- he just likes big collar t #covering accessories. also UGH you're seeing his sharp teeth for the first time... #All fruitbugs (except 2) have sharp teeth and this is like super basic to me but i haven't really conveyed it visually yet and ghjhgh #i NEED 2 sleep byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye #fruitbugs

[cycloplasm]

stuff i forgot to mention for my last post lol

• i actually redesigned Cocoa’s shoes but didn’t draw it. I forgot. So uhm they look the same? Like cocoa fruits? But the.. sole of the shoe?? Is that what they’re called? The bottom part. His look like biscuit. So it’s like this with the feet/shoe being the chocolate part and the bottom/sole being biscuit. Hopefully you can somewhat picture it in your head; if not that means i have to draw it, in which case DAMNIT WHY DID I FORGOT LOL!!!!

• Peach and Candletree fruit know each other and they’re. Not friends, to say the least. Which is to be somewhat expected, given how quiet and introverted Peach is, and how dishonest, vain, and obnoxious Candletree can be. Not a good mach. Doesn’t help that Peach actually thinks Candletree has powers that could help people; but keeps seeing him greatly misuing them by burning everything but objectively bad things. Candletree, for his part, sees Peach like he sees any other person that doesn’t treat him like a god: a waste of his time.

• Candletree’s frontwards pose is based on one from Yokai Watch- specifically Casanuva’s soultimate pose. I couldn’t find a screenshot of that specific pose, so i had to take a pic of it myself for reference... and i don’t have a capture card+it was on 3Ds so i had to take the pic with my phone, lol... so uh if i ever find a decent picture of it i’ll edit this and add it. Either way i love this pose and think about it often- actually i think of it whenever i listen to Old Yuanxian from 2hu 13. The piano part. Gooood stuff.

• the cicada in Peach’s hand is one of his family members. Because Peach HAS a NPC family and all of them are regular emerald cicadas. He’s the only one who’s a Fruitbug. Good thing he’s a video game character without a childhood, because otherwise we might have had to go through Peach being bullied by tiny cicadas nymphs bullying him for being different... As to WHICH family member is pictured, idk man. His grandma?? Up to interpretation i guess lol. Have fun interpreting that crucial element of my drawing

• Candletree’s antennae are constantly on fire because he’s an idiot and is ok with the pain because it makes him look cool

• i also forgot to mention but wow Candletree has shoes now. His feet still look the same though. All fruitbugs who have feet have two-toed claws, no matter how their shoes look like. Two claws because that’s how most (but not all) bug and spider feet actually are. They’re called tarsal claws. Aren’t you glad you learned that information

#rosegivesocfacts #fruitbugs peach #fruitbugs candletree fruit #Fruitbugs cocoa #i initially wanted to put this in the tags of the drawings but can’t. #Because drafts via mobile screws the html and #already spend like 10 mins finding my own posts and #copy pasting the html links one by one #and editing my editing my post would cancel all of that. #If this issue seems strange/doesn’t happen to you just. #Trust me on this. it happens to me and it’s frustrating #i may be bad at html and internet in general but #mobile drafts genuinely cancels any html stuff i do- including paragraphs/links etc #and since i don’t know any html codes i have to go and find it on the interwebz #copy pasting it or writing it myself #while this IS frustrating though... i had worse when it comes to websites malfunctioning #so because of that one experience i’m mostly numb to inconveniences UNLESS they affect what i write #maybe i’ll talk about that one experience one day because it was. something #but i need to remember exactly what i- and the other users were doing to #counter the glitches and stuff. #EDIT: turns out html screws up when i edit a draft i made on computer #... cool. still annoying. lol. #fruitbugs

wtf i redrew my ocs?????!?!??!?! haha no got u. those are design upd8s. In those guys cases, their personality/concept stay the same- their true form mostly does as well.

what changed: Blackthorn’s outfit + true form. Peach’s outfit and colors- much more satisfied with them, now. Candletree fruit’s outfit- the changes not being super noticeable, since they’re just the lower part of the outfit being changed. And Cocoa’s skin tone, which was lighter then i remembered it being, so i darkened it. His true form’s skin tone is as dark as shown here as a result.

i needed some kind of break after my lastest bg pic, so i decided to make sketches of characters i needed to design- this is the first part, Cedraite themed.

Flesh Priest: A Cedraite whose ‘religion’ is based around flesh (both of his kind and other beings). He is called when other Cedraites- especially old/first generation ones, who were made using dead flesh- have issues with their skin. When he is called, he performs rituals to ‘cure’ his client’s flesh. At best it never works, at worst he damages the flesh further by doing such things as putting burning wax on it. He have very little followers, due to the fact that most Cedraites’ religion is usually about Cedra himself; but also because Flesh Priest smells strongly like sweat and an infected cut. Believe or not, he has a wife (his ‘religion’ allows partnership). If it isn’t clear: his ‘coat’ is no coat and is his own flesh- he has multiple layers of skin flaps, and his limbs are somewhat saggy. When I”ll draw his ref, i’ll make a drawing showing how it all looks

Arachne (temporary name): A character i’ve had for a while- a trans male spider Cedraite (typed Envy+Pride) who’s so desperate for friends that he traps anyone he likes in a web he has in his cave. He doesn’t eat them or anything- no instead he feeds them when they need to eat and try to do ‘friend things’ with them like having tea or talking about everyday subjects. As you can guess the trapped people rarely cooperate and just want to be freed.He also has the ability to give diseases via his head's stingers/horns- a mere scratch is enough to give someone said diseases; they tend to be relatively tame fevers, but he uses this to his advantage to get his new 'friends' to stay. He'll even take care of them (or even pamper them really) so they either start liking him, or develop a dependence on him. He usually tends to 'accidentally' stings them, keep his ability a secret and care about them- all the while feeling intense self-loathing for manipulating someone that way. His self-loathing comes from his Envy genes, while his Pride ones are minimal and more targeted at others rather than himself- as in he feels proud of 'owning' friends.He’s envious of any- ANY type of friendship occurring around him. Even the toxic ones, unfortunately; he’s THAT desperate. When he’s not holding someone against their will, he likes to bake; but thing is that the only ingredients available (outside of dead things) to him are rocks, acid from the acid river, and silk. So he tends to ‘bake’ silk with rock chips and acid together. the result tends to melt his guests gums, so he keeps practicing, hoping one day it’ll be ‘edible’.

Protag (not actual name): if i ever make a story this guy will be the protag. He’ll be mischievious or even villainous bc i hate blank slate and/or uwu flawless protags. My first attempt was to make him more ‘in my style’ than he looks in my head- didn’t like it so i gave in and made the second, downright kirbyesque attempt which is how he’s meant to be, according to my brain. So i’m going with that! Also despite how he looks he’s neither a clown or from a circus- that’s his skin he just looks like this. No make up, no clothing.

The Tower (not actual name): obviously based on a certain villain but that's because there's that post saying that HE’s hot and has x reader fanfic and i was like 'am i the only one who thinks the tower eye version is the hot ver?'; i apparently was, indeed, the only one so i make my own boyfriend oc. He’s a War typed Cedraite who's pretty similar to crustaceans- he even has the outer shell. Can he make pearls? Well actually he has an ability- if you put something in his mouth, it'll be spat back out as something objectively worse, AND cursed to boot. For example, if you were to put a beach ball in his mouth, he'd spit back out a cursed metal spike ball. Note that he doesn't really like people playing with his ability- prepare for verbal assault because that's all he can do (he can't move for the most part- only his tongue, teeth and eye can. His teeth move like urchin spikes.) He’s vaguely based on the tarot tower given how apparently that’s the worst one and it makes bad things happen.

Gris: actually an old oc of mine from 2013 (here’s some of the old drawings i did of her). ... Since 2013, she has zero character. The only thing i can say about her is that her ‘leaking stripes’ is actually her acid blood leaking. She’s ok, that’s just how her anatomy is since birth.

Traffic Jam: A Chaos type Cedraite who has the extraordinary and mysterious, but utterly useless ability to cause traffic jams with his mere presence. It’s unknown how exactly he does that- but his tail that looks like a forbidden entry sign might help. He loves causing traffic trouble, and hates rural areas.

I’m still working on the Fruitbugs relationships charts- but one thing i’d really like to do is a ‘threat level’ chart.

Because for example, for the first Fruitbugs that were created in-universe (Cherry, Strawberry, Olive, Peach, Banana etc...) and what i call the ‘normies’ (Fruitbugs that don’t have game-changing abilities, like Cocoa, Kiwi, Melon, Chestnut, Pineapple etc), Lemon and his mafia are a pretty big deal... But there’s Fruitbugs that even Lemon fears and considers to be more of a threat than he is, like Grape Coco. And then there’s others than even Coco think are dangerous. I think that would be interesting to make.

#thats a post i made! #at the end of the day Fig and Plum ARE the top threats but.. that doesn’t mean the others are any less threatening #also the in-universe creator of course; as stupid as he may be. #... there might be also a mild threat level for annoying idiots like Candletree fruit and Kiwano #i say ‘might’ but i know i’ll make it... #and honestly Banana is. very low threat but still a threat... because he beats others up and that sort of things lol #so far the highest threats i have are Midnight Horror and a jewel wasp guy #Midnight horror isn’t as bad as he sounds.. i think #jewel wasp guy tho? straight up evil. also if you KNOW abt jewel wasps you might guess why lemon fears him <:) #(jewel wasp guy is trans.. trans and mean yea! tho tbh he might not be super mean to fellow trans guys #i still need to work on him but his concept is that he has a evil demon sword. #that normally possesses anyone who wields it; but jewel wasp guy is so evil even the sword fears him #so he just has the sentient sword with one eye who can talk and says in a deep menacing voice ‘PLEASE HELP ME MY OWNER IS MORE EVIL THAN ME’ #fruitbugs

fruitbugs jungle movie

Strawberry is a recurrent customer of Kiwi’s; they’re not exactly friends (yet?) but are in good terms with each other. For the most part at least; Strawberry being a close friend of Cocoa sometimes suggests to Kiwi to associate with Cocoa’s biscuits business, since they’re 100% natural and homemade like Kiwi’s own products. At first Kiwi was interested, but upon finding out that Cocoa’s chocolate/biscuits contains venom and he stills sells them to people... Yeah no, Kiwi isn’t comfortable associating with things like that. And he says so to Strawberry, who tends to answer with a simple ‘oh ok’; only to (unintentionally) forget it later and ask the same question each time he comes back.

#o #fruitbugs Strawberry #fruitbugs kiwi #a glimpse of how Kiwi's café looks like #lots of plants everywhere and view on a jungle that seems to spread as far as the eye can see #you can't actually go into the jungle tho it's just a skybox :(((( #also i'm glad i got to show how strawberry has freckles on his body besides his face #i wanted to show it but i didn't know how so! bam ty outfit thing #fruitbugs

I’m in a Fruitbug mood these days, which is rare so I’m super happy!! Here’s Strawberry!! He’s a Ladybug mimic spider.

Strawberry was one of the few Fruitbugs that were released in the first release of the game- he’s actually the one of the very first Fruitbugs that the player can interact with and will give a ‘tutorial’ on how to play the game. (The other being Cherry- any other Fruitbug won’t have the patience to teach players on ANYTHING, much less how to play the game. While others that WOULD have the patience are broken and can’t be found in the game with normal means.)

Strawberry is a VERY friendly person, and loves to interact with players- as a result, it’s ridiculously easy to be able to gain his affection. But even when his affection meter is maxed out, he’ll still be as happy as ever to interact with players; he’ll ask them how their day went, and he’ll be more than happy to talk about interests with them- his being fashion (he’s somewhat of a fashionista, makes his own outfits and has a ridiculous number of them, who are all (overpriced) dlc), and ‘things he finds pretty’ (which tends to be anything pastel or commonly seen as cute). While his friendliness is completely genuine, he can be somewhat needy; he just wants his attention to be reciprocated. Also, he gets kind of jealous if the player interacts more with other Fruitbugs- in those cases, Strawberry will childishly huff and puff and just go ‘HMPH!’ while pouting if he’s interacted with again. But honestly, can you blame him for this behavior? Strawberry is one of the only Fruitbugs who’s genuinely nice to the player, and the latter giving more attention to the mean ones instead of him just frustrates Strawberry. In his true form, he can make some silk he uses to tangle up mean Fruibugs’s code, and go ‘OOPSIE! Player, it seems you can’t interact with Mean Fruitbug today. What a shame, huh.’ Or you know, he just throws one of those strawberry bombs at the mean fruitbugs- those work too. Either way, he’s just trying to be a good friend and protect the player from his mean peers. He’s not doing it in the best way, but he’s trying.

Also fun fact; it’s actually rare for Fruitbugs to be friends with one another (the only other friends so far being Olive and Cherry), but Strawberry and Cocoa are great friends! Strawberry admires Cocoa’s creativity, and Cocoa admires Strawberry’s taste for outfits.

Not one but two Fruitbugs- Mirabelle and Corn! Mirabelle’s a Araneus praesignis- and Corn’s brown marmorated stinkbug. Again those two DO have true forms, i’m just tired and while Mirabelle has one that i just need to redraw, i prefer to wait for Corn’s so i can get an idea i’m satisfied with.

Mirabelle’s a farmer- specifically, he takes care of strange, black and white mammals that produce a white liquid known as ‘milk’. While these animals weirds out most Fruitbugs, some like this milk thing enough to buy some from him- like Cocoa who uses it in his biscuits, or Papaya that uses it for experiments. His business is small, but Mirabelle is happy; he loves all types of animals and loves to take care of them. He also has crops of various types (that only interest the two previously mentioned customers)- but unlike the milk, the business is less... Effective. Because you see, Mirabelle can take care of his livestock on his own- but tending to his fields require some help. And all he has for ‘help’ is Corn- his ‘assistant’. Note the quotations. Now Corn *might* look somewhat familiar- specifically, bear a slight ressemblance with Pineapple. That’s because the two are distantly related! Not one is quite sure how- not even them. But unlike Pineapple who can be harsh but diligent with his garden, Corn is... A professional when it comes to doing nothing. No, that’s not quite right- he DOES something- and that’s laughing at Mirabelle whenever he can. It’s not exactly mean, truly mocking laughter- but it’s not affectionate teasing either. It’s a detached kind of laughter- the type that people get when they see something embarrassing on tv. Mirabelle toughs it up, but that doesn’t change the fact that Corn doesn’t do any work. It’s not even a ‘I’ll never do that’ type of doing nothing either- it’s a ‘I’ll do it... When I feel like it.’ type. The one thing he does best is come up with excuses as to why he doesn’t work- but in general, the truth tends to be that he took a nap or got someone to do the work for him. Despite their less-than-ideal professional relationship, the two are still ‘working’ together. They’re definitely not friends, though.

As for their personalities; Mirabelle is as hard working as he is caring- a lot, but not unhealthily so. He knows his physical limits, and reminds others to know theirs as well- he believes that work done while exhausted is never worth the trouble. In fact, Mirabelle’s the guy for you if you need someone to tell you when to rest and when to work- but as shown by his lenience with Corn, he CAN be a pushover; actually no, he’s completely a pushover. It’s easy to take advantage of his kindness, unfortunately- and no matter how many times he’s proven to have been used, he keeps believing in people. Because Mirabelle genuinely does believe in people, and one would have to gravely and intentionally hurt someone and not regret it for him to give up. But other than that, he believes in you and won’t be shy to show it- it might even be too much at times, but you’d better believe it’s genuine. And if one were to actually reciprocate his kindness, he’d be overjoyed and be even more overbearing. But if that’s what you want, is it really a problem? Also, he loves to talk about his black and white mammals- so be ready for that too. As for Corn, that’s another story. As said earlier, he’s lazy to say the least- and it’s not him being depressed; no, he genuinely dislikes working. So why is he with Mirabelle...? Well, the latter’s area is one of the only places in the Fruitbugs game where it’s sunny most of the time, but with a tolerable heat; so the perfect place for someone as heat-sensible as Corn. And with someone that doesn’t exactly kick him out, even better. And he even gets entertainment out of Mirabelle’s occasional slip-ups, so he’s never bored. He might seem mean- but. Well he kind of is, but he doesn’t actually have any truly malicious intent towards anyone- he’s just very detached. If IT doesn’t directly affects him, Corn doesn’t care- whatever IT may be. That doesn’t mean he can’t be nice though- because he can be! If you not only let him do nothing, but also HELP him achieve nothing. He appreciates chill people and if you take it easy with him, he’ll truly appreciate you. He’s not exactly the most romantic person in the world, but if he likes you, he’ll let you know- through non-verbal actions. Like letting you borrow his stuff, or letting you hang out with him everyday.
