A Little Vice (Trans Magical Girl fic)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
Your drawings helped me remember some realizations I had about the designs of the magical girls

Avaritia design is the non-binary flag colors
Castitas is 100% the lesbian flag colors
Temperance is probably the trans flag colors

Also did you know if you "sinmaxx" hard enough they have to let you straight into Heaven probably on to the throne itself
Does this make Superbia super straight flag colors?

hi i just binged this all of a few days ago and i know this thread has 81 pages so its not lsike i can really add much to the "gushing about the story" end in text

the characters were so great that i really wanted to draw them
i took some guesses about fashion because a few of the characters are probably intentionally underdescribed but if i missed any blurbs feel free to let me know

might or might not do more in a future, i do everything on a whim

(slightly anachronistic because chiro didnt have the new haircut yet in ch12 when this was idealised to happen but shhhhhhhhhh)

Previously, in "A little vice"



EDIT:
And mr. Noir's recruitment pitch.



Drew this only because the word "sinmaxxing" is a horror I had to share.
I never pictured any of the characters looking anywhere near like that from reading it. My mind kind of just skipped over the whole bat ears and green hair thing, really.
 
I won't say I ever quite pictured Superbia looking like a Courage the Cowardly dog villain, but it definitely works.

!!!!! These are great. Poor Inessa. (And poor Temperance having to like these idiots.)
 
Somebody has to be the only sane woman in this crew, and Temperance didn't manage to hide fast enough when the call for volunteers went out.

Tbh, Temperance and Ida are trading places there.

Ida is idiotcoded about her personal life and silly things and Temperance is idiotcoded about "I can fix em" and then not telling her friends and allies vitally important information for their future survival.
 
At least as far as I've gotten, (I still need to finish the back half aaaaa) I've been picturing Mr. Noir looking like some mix of the G-Man from Half-Life and Agent Smith, (complete with saying "CharrrleTON" in the same tone as "Misss-TER AnderrrSON" because same transphobia metaphor vibes) but a little more like, deflated and dead inside than either, making the transformation into BIG HAM VILLAIN GOLDEN DRAGON BIG BAD even more of a complete vibe whiplash.

Yeah, Noir has big G-man vibes.

Rereading a bit, given he has glasses, maybe an evil fed-core version of the dad in Coraline.

Oh, yeah.

Mr. Noir wants to present himself like Agent Smith but just doesn't have the vigor and energy.
 
Glad that Chiro is finally trying to improve herself rather then wallowing in self-pity. Now she's only the second largest failbat in all of fiction, not the first.

Aside from the fact that the new girl's yellow costume was very similar to Castitas' red, the two were as different as could be. Where Castitas exuded a fiery charisma, the second Saint had a sturdiness and stoicism to her that lent her a knightly mein. She was also, to Castitas' frequent consternation, a great deal taller.

"Steadfast as the earth," I found myself muttering, oddly distant from yet another near death experience.

"Steadfast as the earth! Persevering forward one step at a time, Angelic Saint Diligentia is here!" she shouted.

I was mildly surprised that Ida, the tall, dark and athletic superstar of the volleyball, basketball and lacrosse teams, joined happily. If I was busy juggling the county level basketball tournament with the start of lacrosse practice, I would not have had the energy to spend a day out with people. This would have been triply true if I was also a superhero juggling a class-load almost as bad as mine. But I wasn't a magical girl literally named after her diligence. Ida would not have struggled to lift my small burdens.

The talk about the flag collours has infected my mind so I also did a check to see if "purple circles" where mentioned anywhere, but the search engine turned up nothing.
 
iirc Chiro's ponytail was held up by a scrunchy, from ch14
my question is
is this a Scrunchy of EnvyTM that was copied from Inessa? is this the most roundabout way to deduce that Inessa has a scrunchy too?
 
It's The Red Scrunchy that serves as the crown of the Alpha Heather.

...Actually it'd be fairly funny character design to give Inessa a green scrunchy and Chiro a red one to add to their complementary palette swap shtick.
