This was SO fun to be a part of omg!! Pastel is testing out long form content, and this took us ages to record. So if you like it give it some love!

11:49 pastel staring at the paper in terror, with the awkward sound affect, her thumbs slightly shaking while henki explaining what they were drawing was probably the best part of this entire video

Pretty sure the “mist” emoji was supposed to be “head in the clouds”, so now I’m wondering what could’ve been if they interpreted it like that. Still love the puffy celestial shroom kid and bog king mushroom lad.

[@hydrashade1851]

I always thought the mist emoji was like the hot or freezing emoji's, just someone reacting to the weather lmfao

[@can0cringe]

I always viewed it more as the "homer fading into the bushes" meme. Like, that type of speechless and utter shock where you just kinda say peace 'n dip out (or well.. fade into the mist/clouds lol)

That Tulip person seems like an amazing idea. I'm kind of bummed that we don't have our own modern mythos that such an idea can take place.

[@erinfinn2273]

I think we do, it's just that we have so MANY mythos' to draw from that it's difficult to really pin down any one concept.

I really loved Pastel's SCP flower. It legit feels like it could be a real SCP and the fact that it's such an amazing design that she basically conceptualized on the spot is just flabbergasting!

[@artandfiction4534]

I loved this! The Tulip character design is so sweet 🥺

[@thebigheartyradish]

in my head all of these characters are part of the same story... The cow woman is picking flowers and comes across a cave. in the cave the little shroom boy spots her and thinks she is beautiful, but as she passes by she drops a flower and shroom boy wants to return it. When he catches up to her he returns the flower and offers to guide out of the cave, she puts him in her basket and they continue on through the cave. They spot the tall mushroom man with a sword and they run over to talk to him and he tells them that his friends are getting married but he cannot cross a chasm, the cow woman creates a vine bridge and they begin to cross but the bridge brakes and they fall into the chasm. they get separated and shroom boy and the mushroom man have to maze their way through a forest of puffball mushrooms, in the forest they are met with the mushroom ghost and shroom boy is scared but the mushroom man is interested and finds it wasn't real. they find their way out to find the cow woman sitting at a marshy pond with the married couple, the mushroom man is sad he missed the wedding but is told it's fine. time flies by and the mushroom woman died and shroom buy morns her grave. the tulip man appears to comfort shroom boy...

The pair of mushrooms in the 2nd round makes me think that maybe since the first one is a bounty hunter type maybe the 2nd little one is also a bounty hunter and they have this nice "only here for the job" x "wants to have fun" hunter duo dynamic

[@WithGreatPowerComesGreatBooty]

The characters look like cottage core fantasy world and I'm loving them.

[@erinfinn2273]

Definitely a Studio Ghibli film. I think Pastel's first character is the main, with Henki's mushroom lad as the second, probably as comedic relief. Fungus bounty hunter man is probably the secondary focus: the capable, skilled professional who needs to be shown how to enjoy the simpler, beautiful things in life. Grieving tulip and Celestial Puffball are encountered along the journey and give the characters meaningful insights about their lives, and the journey ends with the wedding of the Bird and Crocodile, with all the shimmering glory and wonder of seeing castles floating through the sky.

[@riverbandit2138]
