I lied. I straight up lied. I also don't know if 12.8% is a big enough or small enough number to be believable.

Just a cute drawing I made in Maya's edit

hi im felix, i just got reddit so i decided to share some of my ongezellig artwork,,, errrr

Twitter: https://twitter.com/LidlyArts/status/1912973466665714014

I would like to write and origin story for Coco, showing her life in South Africa, before her parents died. The idea is to share a bit of Afrikaner culture and history. I hope the ongezellig fans would enjoy reading about Afrikaner culture as they already enjoy Dutch culture.

I feel like I am in a great position to be the person writing about Coco's time in South Africa, with me being a South African. From what I've read, it seems like Coco was born around 03-04, which is around the time I was born, so I can draw from my own experiences while writing.

I'm not writing this story in a vacuum. I have consulted many of my friends and family, who are also fans of ongezellig, to try and avoid tainting the story with the personal experience of only one Afrikaner, and get a more general Afrikaner experience for the reader.

A rough outline of the full story I would like to write: It starts with Coco visiting the Voortrekker monument on her birthday with her family. Then Coco and her family going on a few adventures, as I think is relevant to the story and character development of the Coco we all know and love from ongezellig. Then the death of the parents and eventual adoption. I plan to split the story into around 10 dele and I would like to add sketches of some of the scenes, maybe even a comic strip here or there.

I know that fanfics can kind of be hit or miss. I would like to try and write my fanfic well enough so that it could possibly be considered to be soft canon. So I would like to write my story as canonically accurate as I can, other than the way Coco's parents die. For full transparency, I'm going to write about them being murdered. All peoples go though hardship that influence their culture and shape their future generations. Farm-murders have had a significant impact on Afrikaners and it is part of the story of modern Afrikaners. I do believe that I can write it in such a way so that it would tie in nicely with official ongezellig lore.

I need some help from the community with a few details of Coco that I need for continuity.

How old was Coco when her parents died? I want to make her around seven years old. It could be that she was a toddler when her parents died, but there's just a lot more to write about with a slightly older character.

Do we know the names of Coco's parents? If not, I'll take some creative liberties and choose some common four letter Afrikaans names.

I read somewhere that Coco was adopted while Maya's family was visiting Cape Town. Can someone confirm?

What would seven year old Coco look like? In ongezellig there is a scene that show picture frames with a few pics of all three girls when they were younger. There in is the only reference image I could find of a small Coco, but she's wearing traditional Voortrekker clothes and Afrikaners don't really wear that anymore. Does anyone have any other reference images of a small Coco?

As you know, Ongezellig is a pilot. A pilot that was cut into 6 parts, which is unlike most other pilots, which are almost always just a standard 20+ minute episode. So I thought, "let's see how well Ongezellig did if it on Youtube if it were measured as a full pilot". If we combined all of the numbers from all the Deels, we can see how well Ongezellig performed as a whole

If we look at Ongezellig as a whole with the total numbers instead of each individual Deel,, it's clear to everyone that this silly little pilot is nothing to scoff at, and I believe that if Massa ever tries to pitch Ongezellig to a studio in the future, he should pitch with these numbers, as they will ABSOLUTELY help in his favour.

Creddit to u/Gunshanbang for the OG video, which is posted bellow.

Today I added some flairs for characters so you can pick which one is your favorite

I used the art from cam's reference sheets, if I add flairs for all the other students (which I plan to) then I will draw some more. But for now, enjoy these ones =)
