The bandi-cutie is back, but with a rather interesting new bit I’m adding. Enjoy!

Coco was walking alone in the vast jungle, holding onto her laptop as she hums to herself, enjoying her time to herself. Of course, she was not by herself as she strolled by. Serpentine eyes stalked her from the trees above, the python Kaa smiling wickedly as he spotted the gorgeous bandicoot. He made a cocoon aiming right above her, leaving an opening for her body to slip in perfectly. As anticipated, Kaa let his coils down and before she knew it, Coco was caught in some coils. They squeezed and tightened around her, the bandicoot hearing the hissing chuckles of Kaa as he lowered himself to his beautiful catch. He flaunts about catching her yet again, oblivious to the loving romantic smile Coco had on her rosy cheeks. The snake didn’t know that Coco willingly walked by herself, waiting to be seen by Kaa and get trapped in his coils, just to be near the python. She hungered to be coiled by him, teased and flirted upon as well as being his cute pet once under his hypnotic spell. After a few encounters, the girl has grown very infatuated by the python, a crush as one would say. Just as she hoped, Kaa’s eyes swirled with glowing rings, all for Coco to be brainwashed by as she was slowly put to sleep in her new coily bed. Kaa squeezes her, making her pass out for the rest of the day. Whether she was his pet again or a new meal for the day, it didn’t matter for Coco, admittedly. All she wanted was to be in Kaa’s presence, hugged and entranced by him day in and day out. The bandicoot at least had that, subjected to whatever Kaa’s heart desires.

So yeah, I decided to try out something different with Kaa and Coco. The doodle was originally gonna be the two acting silly, with their tongues sticking out in a fun manner, but I wanted to go for something else, and that involved how I’d make their dynamic.

For Kaa and Coco, I thought of making Kaa the usual snake we know him as, slick and mischievous and conniving, and Coco as the same we know and love her as, the sweet and smart girl that watches over her dumb brother. The change is that Coco would actually have a crush on Kaa. After many encounters with Kaa, being in his spell and coils, the girl grows an interest in the python, wanting to be near him more often. She knows that his charming and deceiving behavior is usually done with other gals and prey, being in his nature, but she tends to think and dream that his sways and enchantments were for her, making it more fun when she does run into him. In fact, she tries to intentionally get lost, just to have Kaa find more interest in her once he sees how stranded she was.

It’s something I’m gonna try out for these two. I wanted to try it because if I kept Kaa the same nice snake like how I do with say Vanilla, Tikal, Peach, it’d be too samey once it’s done again with Coco. Whatever thoughts you have on this little fan-headcanon dynamic and whatnot, feel free to comment.
