Like I said before, a lot of people seem to be under the impression that Virgil is this grisly humorless cannibal-murderer character. That's not really the case, buuuut that ain't gonna stop me from having a lil non-canonical fun. >:3 This is all very much based on my favorite murderous musical, Little Shop of Horrors! With Sunny as Seymour, Skye as Audrey, and Virgil as Audrey II ("Twoey").

1.) "How am I supposed to go on feeding you, Virgil? ......Kill people?!"

"I'll make it worth your while~"

Virgil is canonically kind of a campy, silly queer villain, more Dr. Frank n' Furter than Hannibal Lector. He's a threat, yes, but he's also fun! (Or at least, he thinks so). Were this an animated series, Virgil would probably sing a few bouncy, weirdly sexual musical numbers about eating people. 

Doglover502 had the fascinating idea that our hyena boi quits his job as a paramedic to work in a morgue, where he sneakily steals organs and meat from cadavers to sell on the black market- and eat himself. I imagine his boyfriend Sunny happens across this horror show and freaks. Out. But! With a wee bit of doting, sing-songy manipulation on Virgil's part, and Sunny's own stupid pack loyalty, our poor pup is roped into the role of murder accomplice. After all, Virgil promises Sunny the moon if they can get their butchery scheme in motion~

2.) "And now it's suppertime!" 

Virgil meets Sunny's friend and lowkey-crush, Skye, and tries to lure her away alone so he can eat her. Unlike the play, however, this will likely end in Skye mauling Virgil.

Skye: *savagely hanging from Virgil's throat by her teeth*

Virgil: ...Joke's on you, darlin', I'm into this. :)

Skye, scrambling backwards and clawing at her tongue: oh GROSS blech blech

3.) Ya don't know what you're dealin' with-No, you never did,Ya don't know what you're lookin' at,But that's tough titty, kid! 

The part where Sunny figures out Virgil's actually fucking nuts and goes to confront him. How our merry murder musical ends is up to y'all. COuld go the traditional route and end it with Virgil defeated and dead, could go the alternative route where Sunny loses and Virgil takes his morgue munching world-wide, could have the stupid ending where Skye and Sunny end up in a domestic poly triad with their odd hyena boyfriend with the spooky smile and tendency toward making cranberry "jam" in the basement. Who knows!

I'm a little surprised that this characterization- serious or not- exists, given that hyena's are scavengers meanwhile many others are outright predators. /interested

I’m living for this AU but I missed the first part about the based on the musical/ non canon and was like “oh shit this went so much darker than I was expecting”

Virgil saw Sunny mooning over Skye and thought oh, he wants a pretty girl? >:C I can be a pretty girl! Then he actually met Skye and figured it'd be better to just eliminate the competition, literally Virgil: 🎵Shalala, stop right where you are/ Don't you move a thing/You better (tellin' you, you better)/Tell your mama somethin's gonna get ya- Skye: *rummaging around in her purse* Virgil: 🎵 So you'd better beware, you'd better-.....Bitch are you really looking for chapstick during my big number? >:( Skye, still rummaging: Sorry, sorry, hang on....it should be right around- ha, there it is! *yoinks pepperspray from her purse and blasts Virgil in the eyes*

God I love the spooky vibes, Halloween can’t come soon enough. I love the expressions and outfits a lot in these pieces. Little shop of horrors holds a very special place in my heart I love the inspiration here! I’m glad he’s not a cannibal, I assumed he was just an enforcer or something collecting money from people who owe the “buisness” and was a drug dealer lol. Are he and Savannah still close after he leaves being a paramedic and turns to shadier business?

Sorry for the second comment but I just gotta say I love how you changed Virgil’s eyes from the WIP. Just the change from squinty to open shifted the whole tone of the drawing so much. The WIP seemed more like Sunny did just catch Virgil eating jam and it’s all a joke but in this one it feels actually sinister. I just think it’s really cool how much the expression and tone shifted just from changing his eyes

Please don't apologize! I'm glad you think so! :D

Thank you! And....nah, can't say him and Savannah are close these days. :/
