My contribution
I took a nap and forgot Belphegor existed, so when I woke up and saw this thing it jump-scared me
@choccochocco Kurt eats a lemon. Nothing more and nothing less.
If I had to make my own au of x men evolution, I’d make Todd based off of the Vijayan's night frog, and I’d make him really short (the frogs are tinyyyyy)
I’d also make Kurt’s tail stronger looking, and more like a monkeys tail (still with the arrow shape like a spear tho)
and I want to give kurt an arc where he learns to not insult others based off of their appearance. His arc would be slow, span a few ‘episodes’
maybe he gets stuck with Todd and has to escape an angry, mutant hating group, and they end up really far away, lost cus they were distracted with escaping
they then slowly get to know each other a bit better, learn they’re not so different, and that Todd has it harder that him in some ways
(in the au, Todd ran away from his family bc they keep ignoring his struggles (like sensitive skin that absorbs things like frog skin does, dietary needs, allergies due to his mutation, etc), but the brother hood are his family now)
and kurt just has a moment where it (the brotherhood’s behaviour) all clicks
also, the possibilities for Todd’s frog species are insane
there’s the flying frog (they actually glide tho), the glass frog, poison dart frogs ( hc that in a universe where he is a dart frog, he’d be non poisonous due to not eating the diet he’d need for his body to build up the chemicals, though he could use chemicals to do it), red eyed tree frog, purple frog, Indian bullfrog, hairy frog, etc
I like to imagine he’s tried to eat one of his friend’s (the brotherhood’s) fingers after frog brain mistook it for a worm
I don’t see art of Fred often so I decided to draw him but as a Doberman
he looked lonely so I added cat Kurt
He used to do those fair show things, so I thought cropped ears made more sense for him
