MiFella was never meant to be neat. It isnβt Miladyβs heir or its clone. Itβs the wreckage that crawled out after the fracture. A sibling that arrived too late, too broken, too loud to ignore.
It carried none of Miladyβs fragile optimism. Instead it leaned fully into despair, grime and chaos. Making powerlessness the style, and hopelessness the point.
Piecing together the "history" of MiFella and trying to connect the dots within the undulating landscape of a scene that's still so nascent is tough. But part of my process as a collector is unravelling things. Where it began, how it spiralled, why it matters. While parsing through the muddled past of the Avant Gay scene on Solana, one thing I kept returning to:
π¨ππ πΉπππ π π³πππ ππ π΄ππππππ

π΄ππππππ ππ πΆπππππ π·ππππ
The launch of MiFella on Solana ignited a chain reaction.
Out of its smoke and pixel shards emerged:
ππΎ Drifella (by @bis__cut), a psychedelic mutation built on MiFellaβs lore, where its βsoulβ is injected into a Dratini and layered beyond belief (a milestone in traitmaxxing).
ππΎ @tojibaceo, whose pixel-based nostalgia spirals into techno-folk surrealism.
ππΎ @littleswagworld, Spiky DJ, Super Metal Mons and other collections that adopted MiFellaβs post-ironic, transgressive DNA and pushed it further. MiFella was very much a detonation that split open the field, giving rise to what would retroactively be called the avant gay.

π»ππ π΄πππ-π©ππππ πππ
More than just style, what made MiFella foundational was story.
ππΎ Its description declared its relation to Milady with unnerving intimacy: a lover, a brother, a cuck.
ππΎ The Drifella spinoff produced not only NFTs, but an entire 13-chapter fanfiction saga (Trader Fiction by @earl16o1) that reads like Hunter S. Thompson got stuck in a memecoin farm and found God.
ππΎ Its traits referenced everything from Russian military regalia to noise bands like Whitehouse and Merzbow.
ππΎ Its aesthetic was grainy, corrupted, stitched-together. An intentional refusal of clean lines or clean narratives.
MiFella invited interpretation, demanded lore, sparked obsession.

MiFella helped birth one of the defining aesthetics of the Solana avant gay scene: traitmaxxing.
ππΎ Overlays stacked to absurdity
ππΎ Backgrounds clashing with foregrounds
ππΎ Accidental symbolism
ππΎ Excess as philosophy
This maximalist approach turned PFPs from clean avatar expressions into chaotic personality maps. The result was more than profile pics. It was a new form of memetic painting. Rather than NFTs as IP, gaming assets or community tokens... this was NFTs as noise, NFTs as lore machines, NFTs as broken mirrors.

To say all roads lead to MiFella isnβt to say MiFella is the best, the first, or the most technically sophisticated. Itβs to say: it changed something.
It created a rupture in the Milady pipeline and spilled its contents into Solana, where the materials recombined into new forms. These new forms (Tojibaβs altarpunk nostalgia, Little Swag Worldβs memefied eclectic persona, the grotesque-luxury of Spiky DJ) all still echo MiFellaβs original scream.
The themes of schizoposting, subcultural badgewear, chaotic self-expression and resistance to neatness were all activated at scale by MiFella. Without it, the Solana avant gay scene mightβve stayed dormant... or worse, become tasteful.
MiFella is a mess. A middle finger. A heartbreak. A collage of references from places people donβt talk about at dinner.
But itβs also a beginning.
If Solana ever produces a βMovementβ... an artistic uprising that stands the test of time... that gets studied in threads and gallery shows and AI-regurgitated retrospectives... (spoiler... It's happening...) MiFella will be the candle at the altar.
