[ space / click ] These are both for an AU me and @Brainowl came up with where the bugs from Starship are birds and the Humans are felines, ya'll should go look at her designs too! ^^ idk why but I can't think of Mega-girl as anything other than a Snow Leopard. I think it's cause of their expressions lmao But they're also very strong and have white fur like Mega-girl's body. Snow Leopards also live in colder habitats or high up where most felines can't or don't usually live so that could play into the fact that she's different from the Rangers (fun fact, they can live at higher altitudes than any other cat) I also added some stripes in there as a reference to the segmented parts of her body in her stage design, Leopards only have stripes on their tails but maybe she's just got some extra melanin or she's part tiger or smth like that (if she was half tiger maybe that's why she's able to learn to love Tootsie) I was originally going to make a design for Taz where she's a Pallas' cat/Manul cause haha smol angy but something about a really really fluffy cat that has the complete opposite traits to Snow Leopards but also lives in a similar climate just screamed Tootsie- So yeah I made Tootsie a Manul since it gives him more in common with his love interest than the others and idk I guess the dynamic of big scary snow leopard + smol fluffball was just funny to me. I'm pretty sure Starkid was going for the big but gentle trope with Tootsie but the thought of a tiny Manul standing next to a big cat was just too good to pass up on I also found a ton of cute photos of snow leopards holding/biting their tails when I was looking for references so there's some of those inside the project OwO
title totally isn't a Falsettos reference- I was going to do all the rangers but it's currently 6am sooo I'll probably do them tomorrow - w - The characters belong to Team Starkid, Designs were made by me. Audio: The Way I Do - Starship, Team Starkid
