CONGRATULATIONS!

🎉You chose a two for one special!🎉

You have selected the [Kapp and Undead] as your attire. Please see the following list of properties with this choice.

Kappa

Your head is hollow and open like a chalice. Water fills it and the more water you hold, the better you feel. Different liquids placed inside will alter your power for better or worse, so be careful with what you fill your head with.

You can snatch and eat the souls of others.

You LOVE cucumbers! They are a temptation you cannot say No to.

Undead

You are now experiencing post mortem and all the "perks" that come with it. From Livor to Rigor mortis, the progression of decay is your journey to navigate through.

Even though you are actively decaying it doesn't hinder your ability to perform daily tasks, though, some things like Rigor mortis make things a little difficult. You can detach and reattach any part of your body with simple needle and thread.

At some point three will be nothing of you but a skeleton.

The two lookalikes squinted at the message before glancing at each other.

Before they could fully process what was going on, a Poof! went off along with a cloud of smoke to briefly obscure the two from view.

Chi blinked, the optics on his visor activated to show where he was looking. While he didn't feel that different - various audio signals detected were still being received and processed, so he knew his information-sifting was intact - he could feel the sloshing of... Something, in his head.

He hesitantly lifted his hand.

The skintone of it was off - more greenish and scaly-looking in texture, with webbed fingers and clawed fingertips. Not only that, but a new weight was on his back.

What... Was he?

Suddenly, he felt a nervous spike of energy flare up - and it wasn't from his own systems.

A feeling of concern settled in his gut as he turned around to his partner.

[ CONTENT WARNING: body horror and graphic description ahead. It gets gross. ]

Theta's tendrils were tensed behind himself, shaking as if frozen in place and visibly struggling to move.

The pseudo-Zero's systems felt... Off.

There was normally a buzz of sensation as his body actively monitored for changes, which was a blessing and a curse in-of itself - it was from his self-repair factor, responsible for near-instantaneous replacement of his fleshier bits at the cost of his metabolism processing whatever he shoved into his mouth blindingly quick. It was why he was usually so hungry all the time.

While the gnawing in his stomach didn't go away at that moment, Theta did not feel that buzzing sensation vibrating under his skin anymore. If that was the case... That meant his self-repair factor was completely offline.

The horror of the realization slowly blanketed over him, punctuated by the sloughing of skin weighing downwards and tearing away from his face on one side.

A sickening plop was heard afterward, feeling the residual warmth of fluid slipping through his fingers.

Glistening flesh greeted him as he stared at the fallen part of his cheek, suddenly becoming more aware of the cold feeling hitting his exposed teeth and muscle. The smell of chyme penetrated the air. If there was anyone around, the scent alone would drive them off - but Theta's mind was twisting onto itself, struggling to understand what was going on and utterly ignoring what was around him.

Chi's calm aura was barely keeping him from freaking out; Theta would have completely lost his mind otherwise. However, his partner's presence didn't stop a foreign emotion from creeping into his circuits; it seized the red robot completely, apprehension freezing him in place.

He felt nauseous.

[mmxstrangers]

Io verbalized his exact thoughts, though Squish let out a deflated sigh at being told he couldn't just hang out in her mane. 'But it's so warm and inviting!,' his puppy-eyed stare seemed to say at that moment - but he understood that she had her duties to fulfill for her occupation. A purr couldn't help but kick up in his throat when she petted him, though - he couldn't stay pouty for long.

Squish perked up very fast at the mention of cold weather gear, though. He backed off from the hug to spin around and bounce excitedly, squeaking with loud approval. Yes!! That's just what he was thinking!! And he'd like to wander outside in the pretty snow without having to worry about freezing - he may be able to keep up with her better!!

The little creature-bot settled back onto his front legs, tail wagging enthusiastically as his eyes looked back at her with adoration.

Ohh boy. She was in for it now, wasn't she?

Squish needn’t thaw out her heart, for all her hesitations. But Io was pretty sure that the tooth-rottingly sweet, fuzzy warmth that had seized her mind was in the process of cooking it into a bubbling, caramel sludge. …Maybe she was a little more starved for a friendly presence than she liked to admit. Io’s job was lonely, isolated, and oftentimes a little boring in-between the moments of intensity where she actually had to do her job. She didn’t DISLIKE it, she could get away and stretch her legs from time to time, but being permanently on-call tended to leave her often heavily understimulated. The more she thought about it, the more sharing the company of the little fellow currently busy burrowing into her chest fuzz didn’t sound like such a bad idea. It should have. But it did not. “Nawwh… Don’t worry, I know it gets boring around here, and unlike me, you can’t wander off in the snow for hours to stretch your legs. I’ll bring you along if I go on a supply run - though you can’t just… stay on me the whole time, as nice as it would be to you, I’m sure.” Io reached over to pet Squish’s wobbly little noggin, smiling to herself. “Though - should I get involved in getting you a jacket? Little snow booties? Should be easy enough to find and order online…”

That ALSO sounded like a good idea that shouldn’t be good.

[mmxstrangers]

Scylla gently puzzled over his words, but nodded in understanding and smiled. She didn't want to pry too much into his personal issues if he didn't want to go there just yet. The mysterious girl replied soothingly, "It can be hard to separate those feelings. I hope you can find some peace about it soon. Maybe you should talk to them about it, clear the air if you can..."

Pat's outburst made Scylla lean back in surprise, opening her eyes wide before seeing who was approaching them.

Mezzo tilted his head and stared for a moment before realizing what the boy was asking to do. With a toothy smile, the large Reploid nodded. Issi was already butting his head into Pat and Rey's hand. The dog's metal felt warm and smooth, likely heated up by the gentle light Issi was giving off. Issi's ears wiggled as he chimed again.

"You're a good boy, Issi," Scylla cooed as she leaned over to scratch her finger under the walking lightbulb's jaw. In the meantime, Mezzo took his seat, letting Issi lay down besides Pat. The dog's tail delightedly brushed the grass at the attention.

The sun's rays died out, dark blue settling in the sky while the first stars started peeking out overhead. While fascinated with watching Pat and Scylla pet his dog for a while, Mezzo's attention shifted to the sky. There weren't any meteors yet, but this was the time of day he always looked forward to.

"... Pretty," Mezzo stated succinctly after a brief silence.

Scylla looked up for a moment and smiled. "Right. The meteors should be coming soon. Issi, could you turn off your light please?"

Issi's light dimmed and turned off, though he seemed keen to lean onto Pat. For the moment, they could admire the glittering dots illuminating the sky while their eyes adjusted to the darkness.

"It was always flowers for me. The way they all look and smell. It's healing to me." Pat's watching the shared care that Scylla puts into maneuvering around the flowers. It was nice to see someone else with that kind of forethought. The question of his own hesitation caught him off guard though. "...Oh. Uh. Not necessarily." He pauses to think about his words. "It's... bittersweet. I really got to know a friend there once, but when I remember good times... I end up remembering bad ones too. I mess up with relationships a lot... but I'm trying. I think." The conflict in his voice was clear. He'd gone into a bit of a mumble as he recalled it.

And then the newcomers showed up.

"Whoa!" The boy's response was a bit uncharacteristic. For just a moment, the sadness was spontaneously erased; his eyes had lit up, a stronger energy behind them. It did not last long, however. In the next moment, he sat back again, appearing mildly dazed. "Whoa..." he repeated, quiet this time.

Thankfully, Scylla did the introductions because he needed a moment to recollect himself. "It's nice to meet both of you," he replied after a return wave. "Sorry, I've never seen anyone quite like you guys. You look awesome. Could I, uh...?" He's holding his hand up in a position above Issi's head. Even though Rey had backed off after that brief interruption, Pat could tell they both shared the urge to pet the dog.

Theta had gotten an unusual message in his communications. It wasn't from a particular sender - it may have been a throwaway frequency or source and seemed highly suspicious. Nonetheless, his curiosity won in the end. The Reploid opened the message and furrowed his brows quizzically.

"A Halloween event? Chi ought to see this..."

Theta forwarded the unusual message to him, which had Chi quite puzzled in return.

"What's a kappa?" Chi signed to the other.

Theta shrugged in return. "I don't have any idea. What I want to know is what an 'undead' costume entails. What's that all about?"

Little did they know what exactly they were getting into...

[mmxstrangers]

Whew, it's been a few months since I've been on here proper.

I've made a few updates to my blog over the course of the day today. ^_^

Added preferred pronouns + visual references to muse pages

Re-added and updated older muses on their own list (they'll still be around, they're just not going to show up as much as the primary muses do)

I'm still open for plotting, so don't be afraid to reply to this post/send an ask/invade my DMs! Otherwise, if I owe anyone a reply then please let me know!!

[mmxstrangers]

Ah, autumn. It was still early in the season, but it felt festive with the buzzing excitement of Halloween coming in fortnight’s time. It certainly didn’t escape the notice of the cryptids lurking in the public eye.

Chi and Theta were out and about while taking in the atmosphere. Chi excitedly peered through the windows of stores showing off their Halloween decor. His red-armored associate looked on, amused. In the meantime, thoughts of tricks rolled through the latter’s processor, wondering how he much he could get away with in the next couple of weeks. As much as Theta liked free candy, his mischievous musings had him plotting. How could he make others misattribute his actions to Zero - and how could he spice it up for the Halloween season?

Chi’s attention was drawn elsewhere - he always had an eye for details, and admittedly orange was a rather rare color to see during other parts of the year. He supposed that was why Halloween was one of his favorite holidays; it brought feelings of joy to see the color splashed everywhere! He even considered buying an orange sweater for himself to further engage in the festivities.

Besides the vibes of the season and the color orange being everywhere, Chi also found out that he was fond of the taste of pumpkin. He had tried pumpkin pie for the first time last year. The taste never left his mind, and he was determined to try pumpkin spice this time around.

The scent of pumpkin-flavored pastries wafted in the air, shifting Chi’s attention and easily distracting Theta from his scheming. Chi pulled on Theta’s arm and pointed to the café where the delicious smells were coming from. With little prompting (and very little resistance from Theta), the two entered the restaurant. Mischief can wait, pumpkin spice lattes were on the menu today!

Hey all! I’ll be focusing on replies this week alongside Art Fight!

For AF I’m focusing on revenges for last year’s attacks on me first, then I’ll be going through and drawing characters that caught my eye 👀

Here’s my page! Good luck to everyone participating!

[mmxstrangers]

That shocked expression on Ody's face didn't escape the notice of Serta and Ferris. Up to this point they didn't think of it as a big deal - then again, Squish was able to message them if he needed to communicate something in words - but it was a slight issue sometimes when he was interacting with others outside of their linemates' communications. Squish hadn't complained so far either, but it was something they now pondered on while Ody continued her observation.

Squish, however, didn't have much time to ponder on the meaning of Ody's words - he felt her poking at her neck in places that made him lift his hand. Quickly, but gently, Squish pushed her hand away from himself, shaking his head. He didn't look offended, but he did look vaguely uncomfortable - perhaps even worried?

"... Is there something wrong?" Serta piped up, noting the sudden tension.

Ferris crossed her arms with a smile. “Don’t underestimate us - we’re full of surprises~”

Serta’s front legs lowered as he essentially kneeled down, bowing towards Odyssey. “That’s very kind of you to say. I appreciate being included, so thank you.”

Squish spun around and reared on his hind legs again with a happy squeak. Yes!! He had a great time! He returned to all fours, waving his tail around with a smile on his face.

When she tilted his chin up, Squish lost his smile with a pause. He made a questioning little trill in response. The little creature-bot did not understand what she meant by her comment, but didn’t seem bothered by her touch so far.

Serta and Ferris looked at each other.

“… As far as we know, he’s never been able to speak,” Ferris said, scratching her head, “just makes a lot of little noises like he’s been doing so far.”

I have graduated and am back home for the moment. I do want to get back into roleplaying but I’ve been neck-deep in the Danny Phantom fandom for a minute and am going insane (in a good way). That, and I’ve been doing some preparation for Art Fight next month!

Also I redesigned Theta for function as a fandomless OC, and SOMEONE MADE FANART OF HIM WHILE I WAS STILL DESIGNING HIM.

You know who you are. (respectfully, and with fear. you are too powerful.)

I’d post him but I’m afraid it’s a wee bit spicy and I’m being careful of visual content I post publicly, DM me if you wanna see. :3

In any case! I’m working on reviving my muses, but ummm don’t be surprised if I end up working on one of my sideblogs instead, I got a lot of ideas knocking around in my head right now.

I missed y’all. quq Hope everyone’s doing alright.

i have one (1) thought bouncing in my brain like the dvd logo on a screen: spider naga

Pre-Established Relationship: Shaska // The Black-Armored Cryptid

Chi and Theta are friends with Shaska!

They originally met when Shaska had mistaken the two as X and Zero from a distance. Since then, they’ve gotten to talking and have deepened their relationship considerably.

Shaska has opened her arms and shantytown-workshop to them and the rest of the cryptids as well - at least, the ones she’s met. Naturally, Chi and Theta hang out with her the most, but others like Bee, Squish, and Scylla will stop by to say hello or stay for a while.

The cryptids occasionally help her with taking care of certain tasks. They’ve also taken it upon themselves to make sure the Black-Armored Cryptid takes care of herself, too.

BzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ— (loud thump) —ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

WHAT THE FUCK!!?! LOUD ASS THUMP ON HER GLASS WINDOW!?

Little by little Jayden inched her head to look at whatever collided with her office window. 

OH GOD IT’S THAT AXL-LOOKING THING AGAIN DOES IT HAVE THE KNIFE TOO!?!? 

[mmxstrangers]

I had to take the day off today after class x_x; I pretty much ate and passed out after class, haven’t been able to focus on much besides YT videos ngl.

Anyhow, I’ve been thinking about some of my non-cryptid MMX muses! I’d like to give them a little love at some point, I’m just debating if I want to add them to this blog or make a separate one.

More deets + art under the cut!

This is King Cobra! He’s an actor who has a ton of body modifications he can switch between. Outside of acting, he’s often using his naga mods to resemble his namesake. He likes to present himself as prideful and over-the-top, often liking to bring a little pizzazz and “making things interesting” - but in private he’s surprisingly a sensitive individual. No less eccentric, but you could say he worked his way up so he could give himself permission to be extra.

In his universe(?) he’s known for playing Sigma in prominent movie/tv adaptations. Besides that, he gets typecasted a lot for villainous roles - especially if they need a little hamminess! He also does stage-acting roles, especially in dramas and sometimes musicals.

He’s also a little goofy - it comes with the ham.

Next up is my AU Axl :3

I just call him vamp!Axl or incupire Axl, he’s got less battle prowess but has improved shapeshifting abilities, alongside abilities such as making copies of himself.

I don’t know how to describe him other than “stupid horny twink” but much like how he’s matured a bit in the X series itself, he’s got potential for some interesting interactions and room to grow from them!

Also he’d be very willing to tease/flirt with other people as their crush (or just using his abilities in general) so there’s much potential for shenanigans.

I’ve got maybe a couple more in mind but these two would likely be the ones I would enjoy playing the most :3 If you’d be interested then lmk!!

What emotion are you?

Denial.

Your denial is like a thick fog, obscuring your view and making it difficult to see the truth. It is a comfortable lie, a way to avoid the harsh reality of your situation. It is like a cloud that hangs over your head, a veil that hides your true feelings from yourself and the world. Poor soul, you can’t even look into the mirror without denying reality. It’s not your fault- you can blame everyone else. When you’re done, you’ll see what you truly desire.

Serta’s front legs lowered as he essentially kneeled down, bowing towards Odyssey. “That’s very kind of you to say. I appreciate being included, so thank you.”

Squish spun around and reared on his hind legs again with a happy squeak. Yes!! He had a great time! He returned to all fours, waving his tail around with a smile on his face.

When she tilted his chin up, Squish lost his smile with a pause. He made a questioning little trill in response. The little creature-bot did not understand what she meant by her comment, but didn’t seem bothered by her touch so far.

Serta and Ferris looked at each other.

“… As far as we know, he’s never been able to speak,” Ferris said, scratching her head, “just makes a lot of little noises like he’s been doing so far.”

Once the song ended, Ferris let out a bout of laughter at Ody’s hip-check. “Guess I need to listen to music more often. I might take you up on the offer to do karaoke sometime after all!”

Squish reared up on his hind legs and stood on them, letting out a happy squeak at Ody while his tail wagged rather fast. That was so much fun! He looked like he wanted to dance to another one.

Serta blinked at Ody’s smirk, not expecting himself to be the next target she was aiming for. Ferris snickered behind her hand. Squish was back on all fours, smiling up to Serta and looking over to Ody curiously. What would she play next?

Ferris and Squish watched as Ody went over and held onto Serta’s hands, pulling him up to his feet. Ferris was fascinated by what was happening while also giggling behind her hand - for once, Serta would be getting off of his big butt and doing something. How exciting! Squish just tilted his head, wondering about the sudden change of pace with the music choice.

The taurloid himself was caught off-guard, seeing that Ferris’s friend decided to approach him and pull him up for a dance. No one had ever done something like this before - but thankfully, he recognized what she was doing. He was happy to let her take the lead and gently held onto her.

While his footsteps were uncertain at first, the slower pace allowed him to figure out his footing - more confidently sweeping around the room with her, his tail brushing the floor at the bigger turns.

Serta paused when Ody broke off and pushed Ferris towards him, but lightly chuckled at that. Ferris herself froze in place and looked uncertain of how to move forward. Much like what Ody did with him, he did to Ferris - he moved in and put her hands where they needed to be, somehow interlocking their hands together while Ferris tried to remember how Ody’s feet moved. Together, they settled into a pace of slower spins around the room.

Squish looked up from the sidelines, listening to the music ebb and swell. He seemed fascinated by the sounds he was hearing mix together as harmoniously as they did.

When the music closed out, Ferris pulled away and looked up to Ody, clapping her hands. “YES girl! I love your singing! Rather grim lyrics the longer you think on them though. Didn’t take you for the kind of person who would go for this kind of music, either.” Serta had a gentle smile on his face - perhaps the happiest he’s looked all night so far. “… That was lovely,” he commented, “Not so common to hear orchestrated music like that.”

[mmxstrangers]

It’s Carnival season and I’m doing some doodles based on it uwu I only got a couple at the moment but I got ideas for some of the other cryptids lol

Squish would try to catch beads or pick them off the ground to share with his friends. He wants to collect as many cool necklaces as he can! (And maybe walk off with a krewe-themed toy or a “signature item” that one of the parades would throw. I keep imagining him making off with a Krewe of Muses shoe - he’s determined to get and keep one!!)

I haven’t officially revealed this muse yet but he’s been listed on here for a while. He’s carrying a flambeaux, which was traditionally used to help guide the parades along the routes.

I’ll likely reblog with more doodles later on lol
