Right. This plot idea came to me in a dream, not going to do anything with it but sharing it so that others can do things with it. There are some Kogoro likers out there.

So. Someone frames Mouri Kogoro for murder, by getting him knocked out with a sleepy drug and then setting him in a room with the corpse and the murder weapon in his hand and there's probably also some kind of motive set up for Kogoro not liking the victim. The actual murderer has like noticed that Kogoro doesn't go into his sleeping Kogoro deductions like he doesn't remember them, or maybe they just don't care and also just wanna traumatize the Kogoro cuz of a case he messed up while Conan wasn't around.

Anyway, cuz Kogoro doesn't remember what happened, and not remembering what happened is a normal occurrence in his life by now, he actually starts to fear that he may have done it. That he "sleepwalked" and killed this person who he didn't like.

And yeah, there could be some drama there.

Maybe Kogoro has to figure shit out himself cuz people are afraid that when he goes to sleep to do his deduction this time he will kill again, so Conan can't risk it cuz if he did it the normal way, people would restrain Kogoro and would discover that he is actually just sleeping.

Maybe Conan has to reveal to Kogoro that there is an outsider making deductions for him when he sleeps without revealing that it's him who does it. Idk. Talks to him through a speaker left in an unaccessible place?? Or a place with supernatural rumors connected to it so it's like seen as a guardian spirit. But that could easily backfire into Kogoro either becoming a super sceptic or a believer in the supernatural like Ran or worse, the Gunma officer what's his name.

The Hype Manta Storm

…Big Man designs are really difficult. ⚆‿⚆; And after all the time I spent just constructing this outfit, the color scheme threw me for another loop– see, even though Big Man’s character color is usually red, since I already used so much red on Shiver’s outfit; it would make the group look lopsided…so I decided to expand on my original rainbow idea, not placing emphasis on any color in particular. This way he’s like a “neutral” backdrop for the girls, which I assume was the intention with the canon designs.

Anyway, about his role in the AU…besides all the things I’ve said here and there in earlier posts, I think it would be neat if Big Man was a bit of an Alternan history buff; the Deep Cut member *most* interested in actually learning about its lost civilization. As he’s the last one you run into, you’ll have unlocked most of the map by the time you get to him, so he could help you out with finding more Nostalgic Devices and 100%-ing your collectibles, if you’re into that. ^^ Maybe use his special boss-fight ink to help you retrace your steps as you navigate, something like that.

So, with this done���I think I don’t have any new character designs left. ‘_’ I do plan to draw Octavio and Cuttlefish later (fingers crossed) but I doubt I’ll change much about their looks. After this, it’s just Happiness Research Lab, and then on to the rocket and the end of the story. Weird to think this AU might be over and done with this year… ^^;

okay the glaze did.... Something, I hope? (At least it made stains on my bathroom floor)

And heck yes final assembly done ant it works! Probably isn't the greatest thing ever but fuch yes. I'll post some pictures tomorrow when the glaze is done!

Yeah no, looking at this now from this lighting, I definitely went overboard with the painting of weathering. ....I think I might even do some "glazes" of brown acrylic even if I just put on final varnish... It'll dry overnight. I need to do final assembly when I get home too (currently at my parents house for painting and stuff)

At least I made the headband now :).

Won't do makeup tho probably. Have nothing of that sort. Hopefully the crosshatching on the visor with do.

Who wants a bit of Minecraft spec bio?

In my headcanon for Minecraft the majority of mobs share a very recent common ancestor with a slime-mold adjacent organism called the "root node," meaning most mobs (villagers, illagers, skeletons, zombies, mooshrooms, others) are fungoid/plantoid-appearing creatures.

Villagers are among the most complex of them all, boasting an intricate method of expression through extendable facial "petals" (thin, mostly transparent membranes) that shift in color, pattern, and intensity to express a vast and dynamic field of emotions. The protrusions on their head resembling eyebrows and a nose light up in patterns to convey information. Conversation is occasionally emphasized by vocal cues (the iconic "hrms").

While impossible to translate standard villager conversation into something intelligible to humans without advanced technology, Steve is the most "fluent in villager," with a baseline understanding of what different colors mean on a villager's petals and even dyed paper cards to replicate the expressions himself. He also has established a rudimentary sign language with the nearby village.

Steve works with a certain villager he's nicknamed The Language Guy, or "TLG," to propose new signs or revise existing ones. TLG distributes language updates to the village when they happen. TLG is the most "fluent in human," so they are the village's Steve equivalent when it comes to diplomacy with humans. They are also working on writing a book with every established sign and its definition. Since villagers don't have a written language yet, it consists of easily interpreted pictograms.

Humans and villagers have rather shallow avenues of communication due to their complete lack of intuition about each other's natures. However, due to their frequent interactions, TLG and Steve are very close friends for creatures with a compatibility gap bigger than the Grand Canyon.

Alex would really like to learn about all of this, but she's not quite got the hang of it yet.

I go back and forth between loving or hating it. But I definitely think a few glazes of brown would be more canon accurate. But I also deliberately strayed from canon at parts sooo.... Idk. Waiting in between layers of varnish currently.

Oh yeah and the test assembly? It went :') very very :') not well :')

Can probably fix it though. Hot glue and box cutter my beloevd <3

Edit: Saw it in dim light and it looked better, so glaze is definitely the way to go.

Yeah no, looking at this now from this lighting, I definitely went overboard with the painting of weathering. ....I think I might even do some "glazes" of brown acrylic even if I just put on final varnish...
