sorry about the art slowdown lately! going through a miniature life upheaval (but a positive one!) that left me a bit strapped for time. should be back to normal now~

i think i wrote a while ago that Vogue owned "a beloved pet corn snake named Noodles", and people asked to see it. I've since upgraded Vogue's pet to a big ass python, by the name of Monsieur Nouilles au Beurre (Buttered Noodles).

Vogue always begged her parents for a pet growing up- a parakeet, a puppy, a hedgehog, a ferret, a cat, anything- but sadly, they never granted her wish. Fleur couldn't bear the thought of some animal mussing up her artfully arranged home decor, and Fancy is allergic to nearly all manner of mammal. Besides, Vogue had her studies to attend to. On one of her birthdays, they "gifted" her a massive aquarium full of glittery jewel-colored fish, but it was to be cared for only for the servants, more of a big ornament than any sort of pet. Vogue enjoyed the fish, but more than anything, she wanted a pet all her own.

However, jumping from an arduous education into a busy career didn't afford her any time for browsing pet shops. It isn't until one day, while running her modelling agency, Vogue spots something slithering out of one of her junior photographers' duffel bags. It's a giant python, brought in to be a racy prop for her models to pose with. Possibly nude, adds the photographer pleasantly.

Vogue is.....not happy about this. Not at all. Words are exchanged, a certain photographer is found to be "intolerably perverse", "criminally stupid", and "not at all good fit for the agency", and Vogue ends up with this abandoned, ownerless snake.

Welp. She doesn't really know what to do with it, she's honestly a bit afraid of the little beast, but when she reaches out to give it an awkward, totally-not-terrified pat.....it boops it's head against her hand. And looks up at her with the biggest, derpiest eyes imaginable. Oh no.

This is no foul creature. This is babie. Vogue loves babie. Vogue loves Buttered Noodles.

Zee, upon seeing her roommate walk into their home with a gigantic snake, said something to the tune of "what the fuckety fucking FUCKAROO NO NO NOOOOOO", but eventually warms up to Noodles, and can often be seen letting him wiggle his head into her hoodie pockets. They're bros.
