This isn't a chapter, these are just my thoughts about my AU and some ideas that I thought of for it.
In this little part I will explain some things and give some interesting facts about both Sorrow and Cheer, but also about the gang. Again, somethings here won't be in the upcoming Chapters, but some might. So take from that what you will.
But enough of that! Let's get started!
1. How I thought of this au and what gave me this idea.
Okay so before I even made this au I was just bored in my room, talking with my parents. When my mother said something about an old movie musical type of thing. Called The Phantom of the Opera. I was intruiqued when she explained the story to me. So that was the first inspiration, the second inspiration to make this au was that I always loved horror and mistery. Just the thought of seeing someone on the streets wearing any kind of mask always seems so cool to me. Never knowing what secrets, tragedies or even trauma lies behind a simple white mask. And lastly I just wanted to make an au that is very silly but also sad and tragic, that I will actually be interested in and will spend most of my time with and not just brush to the side after making them, since yes I have made multiple SMG4 au's but they never really went that far. Here are some pictures of said AU's 👇

I know, these are a lot of au's. The mist recent one was the FlowerFungi one (which I still consider maybe making a story about but Im not sure how).
2. How the characters were designed
Okay so your probably wondering..."why make Sorrow and Cheer look so silly?" Well firstly when I thought of making a new au I had in my mind that If I WANT these characters to have a good story, they should have simple designs so it will be easier and more fun to draw them! So that's where I went off of. I also added things that I like to them. (For example I like the silly clown look, the blushy cheeks, bright lipstick and colored nose, bowties and shoulderblades. So I added simple but colors I like to them. I also didn't add hats to them since drawing hats was a pain for me for a while. I wanted their designs to be a bit different but still silly and recognisable that it can give off the SMG4 and SMG3 feel. And lastly I really just wanted to have the masks hide something and show off the emotions they feel the most. Their injuries, their past and their pain, all hidden behind a simple smile and frown mask.
