I ended up not drawing the thing I meant to draw again 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Do you remember last NC chapter where I was like "idk why I chose yogurt of all things as Pudding Cup's sibling". GUESS WHO DISCOVERED WHY.

There's an Oreocup fanfic on here from 2015 that has only 1 part and has been discontinued BUT in that fanfic, Pudding Cup has a little brother named Yogurt. THAT'S WHERE I GOT THAT FROM. Omfg 😭😭😭😭 And this would've been waaaay before Yogurt the OC. OI fanon is insane dawg

I actually adopted that fic from the author years ago teehee 😁😁😁 sigh.....high school AUs hit different when you're past that age. It's all about COLLEGE AUs and navigating life as an ADULT now. .......dawg I'm gonna be 20 this month what the fuck 😭😭😭😭 WHAT THE FUCK.

Existential crisis aside. Time will tell if I ever. Write that fic. Or any of my fics 😭😭😭 I legally cannot promise anything LMFAO. Side tangent it's really funny how ALL the Oreocup fanfics on here not made by present OI nation are 1 part long and written in 2015 😭 there's the one I mentioned earlier. The masquerade one. The one from a themed multishow oneshot book. And ANOTHER one that's also highschool AU. There's something very silly abt that.

THIS IS DEFINITELY RELATED BTW I bring all of this up bc remembering Yogurt origins made me want to draw NC AU stuff LOL. So here we are 😁😁

LMFAO okay remember I said these two start hanging out more. Yeah ^_^ they're very silly.

Bit subtle but Ph's mouth is curled into a slight smile at the end 😊😊 he's secretly amused/endeared.

Me too Pudding Cup ✋️😔

Anyway I had this idea that like. PC will sometimes ask Ph "hey help me study" and the first time this happened he was like "??? I don't know any of the material, shouldn't you ask your classmates???" and then Pudding Cup went "OKAY but no one I know is free rn so you'll have to do (100% not an excuse to spend time with him)"

And then Ph went "okay I'll. Do my best??" I imagine he does flashcards and otherwise helps keep her focused 🤔 They are also sitting shoulder to shoulder.... 😊😊😊😊

I wanted to draw Ph in the IS cardigan because Why Not and decided to draw PC in something slightly different too. Maybe it's a bit chilly out lol.

^_^!!!!!!! Also this made me realize the alliance are all bilingual. Pudding Cup with Filipino, Police Hat with Japanese, and Oreo with French. I imagine (in NC and og) Ph tries to learn PC's and Oreo's languages at some point ^_^ so that's what he's doing here except he's also being silly with it.

Sighs...........NC Policecup..................

I've been debating on if PC and Ph get together pre-Oreo reconnection and they get Oreo in later, or if all 3 get together at the same time after they get everything settled...but I am a creature of habit and GUYS THEY'RE REALLY CUTE OKAY 😭😭😭 my heart is telling me to go with the first option and tbh that's mostly how I've been thinking abt this AU as of recent......

My reasoning is kinda like. When they meet up after a whole year, alllll the emotions lwk come rushing back at them and for a while they're both like "okay I'm just getting used to having them in my life again this butterfly feeling doesn't mean anything"

And then when it persists they're like "....oh no." 😭😭 Both of them keep quiet abt it for a while bc neither of them want to risk ruining their friendship AGAIN but the line between friendship and romance keeps getting more and more blurred and eventually neither of them can take it anymore 😭😭😭😭😭

I'll draw a comic for it eventually but the idea is that both of them slip up abt their feelings and they skirt around it for a while because it's awkward and they don't want to address it....but again it comes to a point where they literally can't take it 😭 they get there EVENTUALLY though and they officially decide to get together and AUGHHHHHH GUYS 😭😭😭😭😭 feeling so normal rn

This also does make it angstier when Oreo comes back into the picture and THOSE old feelings get dredged up....teehee..... bc remember PC always shoots down the topic and Ph doesn't want to cause friction. So having Oreo back lwk causes some conflict in their relationship at first 😭😭😭 which makes Oreo feel like shit btw.

Throwing!!!!! Myself off a cliff 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 GUYS AAAAUGH

Anyway. This path feels most natural to me....so that's probably what will happen 😁😁😁

Desperately wants to find some common ground with him 😭😭😭😭 Ph feels very awkward knowing that not all of PC's family approves of him.

Pudding Cup, however, does not give a fuck 😁😁😁 in fact she is as annoying about it as possible. Sibling things <3 (plus she gets to tease Police Hat so win-win)

Although I think that it actually does cause a little friction between them. Nothing relationship breaking but from time to time it's like "Yogurt can you like. Lay off on Police Hat :/" and he'll say something like "but he yelled at you and blamed you for something that totally wasn't your fault >:/"

And they'll go back and forth but neither of them budge because they're both stubborn 😭 I think over time Yogurt does kind of chill out abt it?? Or moreso he resigns that nothing he'll say is gonna change PC's mind. But he still hates just to hate lmao.

Pudding Cup knows he's just trying to look out for her which is why she's so nonserious abt it most of the time 😭 like it's her way of telling him "see I'm fine". Dates back to when they were younger too 🥺🥺🥺 However Police Hat genuinely worries he's causing a rift between the siblings 😭😭 and that's when she gets on Yogurt's case abt it.

And then surprise Ph sibling appearance ^_^!!!!! I rlly liked Ink's design. Very fun to draw.....

I was thinking to myself how to cap off the image limit but I didn't have enough room to draw longer comics...and then I got the idea of PC meeting Ph fam 😁😁😁 idk when in the timeline this happens bc Ph and his sibling are still estranged at the outset of this AU 🤔 shrug.

Anyway I think these two would get along ^_^ gnc + making fun of Ph solidarity LMAOOO which is a big relief to Police Hat considering meeting PC's family didn't go as smoothly 😭 ....I feel like meeting his parents didn't exactly go that well either. Nevermind that Ph's relationship with them is a little strained considering the show (and is a bit formal in general), but Pudding Cup isn't exactly like. The ideal girlfriend in his parents' eyes 😭😭😭😭

To be clear. I don't think his parents are necessarily Bad parents or Bad people, their values are just Different 😭 They love Police Hat and want the best for him but it's more of a what THEY think is best kinda situation. Especially bc they think they already failed with his sibling. ...I mean I guess that can be interpreted as bad parenting. Sigh..........parent-child relationships...................... who up crying in da club

So when PC and his sibling pretty much instantly click, Ph internally is like 'oh thank god' bc if One more person disapproved of their relationship he was actually gonna lose it LMFAO. Like it was bad enough going in meeting PC's family and having PC meet his parents Knowing it probably wouldn't go well because they all have preconceptions from the show. And Pudding Cup knew this as well I feel 😭😭 I think she would've made an effort to be a little more proper around Ph's parents.

I think Ph's sibling Also knows what happened on the show, I think that's how they found Police Hat again in the first place, but she's a lot more sympathetic than their parents or the majority of the in-universe fandom. Sure Police Hat was wrong to blame Pudding Cup, but he was under a lot of stress and just had an emotional outburst. And she totally understands what that's like. 🥺🥺🥺😭😭 guys im gonna slam my head into a wall AAAAAAGGHHJHHH

I feel like when Ph asks her if she's disappointed in him for that she's like "??? Dude no. I'm not gonna fault you for having emotions" and that absolutely wrecks Ph because literally Everyone he knows puts most if not all the blame on him for the breakup 😭😭😭😭 even Pudding Cup still thought he was in the wrong, she just opted to treat it as water under the bridge. And then hearing that also makes her go 'oh fuck' 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Slamming my head into walls. Me when interpersonal relationships affect each other. Me when I perspective take. Me when I see people and myself in a new light and I forgive myself for being human. Can't take this anymore 😭😭😭😭😭

Sighs..... thinking abt how Oreo's and Police Hat's parents reacted to the Everything makes me really sad because I KNOW they'll be so disappointed in them 😔😔😔. Focusing on Ph's parents specifically, I feel like when he initially got back in contact with them after the season got canceled they were like "we didn't raise you to be like this" which. Again. Absolutely fucking wrecks him 😭😭😭😭😭 because Ph's parents know him to be very well behaved so seeing him go ballistic for (what they felt like was) no reason was like. Who is this.

As you can see there's a lot of pressure on Ph for that One Incident 😭 he doesn't fight back against it at all he just goes like "I'm sorry I acted that way it won't happen again" and he moves on with his life from there until he reconnects with Pudding Cup and u know the rest.

As for Oreo.....sighs admittedly I haven't thought of his family that much. I have the impression he's either an only child or middle child, either to 2 sisters or 2 brothers 🤔 and mayhaps he wasn't paid much attention to which explains his self-esteem issues....I realize that sounds a bit tropey but they have to come from SOMEWHERE right 😭😭😭

Anyway. No one in his family was very happy with him 😔 I feel like there'd be Some sympathy because he was being used but ultimately it was his decision to screw over his besties. Despite having the worse action I dunno if Oreo's family was as harsh on him as Police Hat's....???? Oreo's self-hatred is bad enough as is anyway 😭😭 and like I said later on he gets reinvited for season 2 and he accepts for god knows what reason. Even he doesn't know 😭 (running from his problems headass)

There's sooooo many aspects to this AU I'm gonna go insane LEMME TALK ABOUT the OI s2 experience real quick. I don't think I'm gonna go super in-depth with that cast unless they have ties to Oreo but I think for season 2 Oreo was ACTUALLY done with relationships for real. Like whenever it came up he made it a Point to be like "no I'm done with that stuff haha". He also did his best to put on a self-confident persona and engage with the other cast members, but off-camera and when he was alone he was like. <:( . Because obviously he wasn't gonna be mopey on camera.

Sighs....!!!!! I wanna at least give him some kind of meaningful friendship but that would require making a new character......also I feel so fucking awful for him in this AU like 😭😭😭😭 he's so sad and self-sabotaging. Sandwich and Strawberry are also in this AU's s2 and for some reason I feel like he found some sort of friendship in Strawberry???? Sandwich is highkey mad at Oreo for """"framing"""" Fire Axe so. But ultimately Oreo just misses his best friends 🥺🥺🥺 I say he was friends with Strawberry but it was very "well we know each other already so I know you're a 'safe' option".

Idk I'll think more on it!!! I.....think that's all I had on my mind 🤔🤔🤔 at least until I draw more NC comics teehee!!!!! Okay bye !!!!!!!!!!
