Tw: incoherent yapping

I think banban and Bittergiggle should be together

Be it platonic or romantic I do not mind. They would understand one another to the fullest and have likely been friends or atleast mutuals for a long time

Bittergiggle is the yapper n ban is his listener.

Also detail I noticed is that whilst banban doesn’t necessarily laugh at bitters jokes he doesn’t push them down like some of the others and was the only one NOT immediately hostile to him. Small peeve of mine is that when bitter also “sacrifices” himself banban doesn’t really say anything- but I’m gonna assume it’s due to mild understanding of bitters issues and also maybe shock making him go silent at the time

I’m coping

I need bitter back immediately and I need ban and him to bond immediately

Gobb 0 please do not let me down and make it malleable for my au. Please have a baby bittergiggle cameo at the very least. I’m begging you

Also they may not be actual babies- they could just have less givanium injected to them at first to see if they’ll even come alive. We do see something like that happen with little beak too where she can get her givanium taken out and change her size- Flynn aswell.

I also think that Missing Banban and Karting may have some mild background lore too considering the games. I know both of them have been made with different people but god do they actually look good. I hope the brothers are learning from some of kartings models too tbh😭 they’ve been improving alot over the years.

But anyways another reason why I think they may have background lore is also because a lot of the lore in the actual games is shoved into the background rather than in your face. A lot of it is context clues and having to piece things together that are out of order. Even the stupid stickers on the walls HAVE lore in them. Waiter waiter!!! More garten of banban please!!!

Anyways sorry for the incoherent yap session I have many thoughts. Also sorry the nabnab posting is taking forever- I have most of it done but I just keep forgetting about it 😭

I've always been confused by the design of architects. The same four legs, although they give it a mythical image, in reality only add an extra pair of legs. And if you look at his front legs, you can see that he was originally intended to be bipedal. The same goes for his hands, which are useless because they have no fingers and Alan doesn't use them x)

Just found out there’s people just. Stealing this (specifically on pinterest)

Did not realize I’d have to say but please do NOT take my art without asking or crediting me, especially on other platforms

I’d like to see the remarks people have about what I create and see that it actually has somewhat of an impact, even if it’s as small as a smile

Whilst it is a silly meme redraw I do put effort into my art. Do NOT repost it without permission or credits, once again!! And if you have seen any of my art reposted on any platforms please let me know!! My only art posting account is here, and on Instagram (Spookboobs69420, and my alt spookymoths.traditions). Also yes, I did comment on said post asking who reposted it there and that I’m the artist, so if you come across a user named Kai with a little wolf guy n skull pfp in the comments of that post it is me. I’d rather not @ my Pinterest for it is cringe

If you see me anywhere else that is not me

I am a small artist and would rather not have my art stolen, thank you very much

End of PSA for now

The grind is real rn

[spookai69-420]

thank fucking god I'm not 14 anymore

[spookai69-420]

This was gonna come from me eventually... I will not apologize

[spookai69-420]

hey fuckface its me from instagram im here too

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE IM SCARED!!!!!

[spookai69-420]

love when someone clearly completes a game and goes on an insane reblogging spree because they're obsessed with it. But it's a small game and so there's a grand total of Jack Shit in terms of art. And so they reblog wisps of whatever they can find . anyways i love frog detective and rue the lack of appreciation it gets godspeed soldier

detective frogis so good ive had the game installed for actual months but for some reason just played it yesterday i literally finished in a single day i was so invested and i am personally infuriated that there arent any fanfics of sherman and his gay frog detective boyfriend

[spookai69-420]

you get both of these because i cant decide which i prefer. the action is better in the sketch but banban is cuter in the finished,, blehshjngjgf oouughj but yea i love when banban gets got in the 3rd game

[spookai69-420]

thinking about him

[spookai69-420]

Did another screencap redraw, too lazy to do background. Get yoinked leech man

[spookai69-420]

UGH RHIS IS SUCH A GREAT TAKE

Also ik this is mostly pda rant centric but im gonna add on about some other things too

The concept of the game is so beautiful and so interesting but god do I wish the writing for Robin specifically was done better. Make her feel more vulnerable and upset about Sam maybe, make her have more of a slow burn with coming to terms that Alan on in her head and slowly realizing she ENJOYS his company and not just nearly immediately seeming to accept it after the first talk back in the base

And she says she was stranded on another planet for three months by herself before In the beginning of the game too. Which kind of just,, takes away from the actual fear factor of the game a lot. Even in general it takes alot away actually

I also wish we learned more about Alan or architects in general. Just culture things, spoken things about anatomy. What the network feels like, and yk,, the same teachings about earth or human culture that Robin can explain to Alan

Ofc we get a bit of the latter, but I crave more of the prior since I love Alan sm😭

Plus again with the PDA, everyone agrees “entering ecological dead zone” or “leviathan class species detected. Are you sure what you’re doing is worth it?” Is some of the scariest things to happen in sn1, whilst I didn’t have any of that happen at all in bz

Of course maybe I bugged it out or something but I was so excited to hear that for myself

Alan being the pda instead a bit and having them distrust each other more is such an amazing idea. I wish they had something like that more

Ok this is a really specific.... thing of mine??? Like ok. Why is the PDA still in this game? Ok I mean I get WHY, storage, logs, blueprints, information, warnings ect. OBVIOUSLY.

Buy like. Here's the thing. You know how sometimes it's a bit of a theme for players to start going a little crazy in the first game. This is where the whole, holding a Hoverfish and talking to it phenomenon comes in. Some people play audio logs on repeat to sort of hear people talk in a game where there's no one. What I did, is that I got unreasonably attached to the PDA. It was the only sound I understood and trusted at the beginning of the game, and I felt so good when it said some whatever programmed in, tone-deaf inspirational quote. The entire "scans suggest swimming was your favorite activity" bit will forever be iconic. I thanked it every time it gave me a warning, and it was just this feeling of, I'd rather listen to an unfeeling unaware, slightly better version of Siri than put up with this loneliness.

Now Below zero.

Robin talks to herself externally from the player. Which I mean, it makes it seem like SHE is going a little crazy, but it separates the player from that feeling themselves. (I know some people hate this, and I did too the first time, but I digress) You have detailed voice logs from the beginning of the game, and most important of all. A whole ass guy available to you 24/7 wherever you go.

Siri is a lot less enticing when I have better options.

And I don't mean this in just the way, that I'd rather have the PDA not talk. Especially since unlike the first game, where the PDA is obviously just not programmed for the situation and unironically says morbid, incorrect or even soul crushing shit like It's nothing, making it hilarious, in Below zero it feels like they actually wrote jokes directly into the PDA. It calling coffee "dirty bean water" was so fucking forced I was tempted to @ someone about it on Twitter. And I don't just mean It's now just not as good as in the first game. I also mean it in the way that in almost every way, having a fully functional PDA detracts from the story. I spent a decent chunk of this game trying to do shit to get a reaction out of Al-An. (Btw I will forever be pissed that you can make a toilet in this game and Al-An makes exactly zero comments about it, and I can't laugh as I torture the alien with the knowledge of poop. Is this because Robin is a woman or something?? Let me harass the alien, damit!) And nothing annoyed me as much as expecting Al-An to say something and being left with the PDA saying something right out of a brand tweet. But more important than anything. It undermines the characters beyond belief. Robin especially. Like ok, in the first game you're just some guy, lord knows what your job was but you're definitely not someone who knows a whole lot about Alien fish. So I'm fine with the scanner just inexplicably giving you names, behavior and biological info on animals and plants that are supposedly undiscovered. Like whatever. But please tell me, how a Xenobiologist, or any biologist for that matter still has a job when this thing exists. Now you could make a point out of it, like they did with that doctor in the first game that realized he was completely useless because he only ever let robots do the job. But it's never really brought up how it just does her job for her. Like sure, going in to scan certain things takes a lot of guts, and that's clearly the type of vibe Robin is supposed to give off. That sort of Steve Erwin attitude of "Im gonna poke it with a stick", but it still just feels wrong. And it doesn't explain why spy penglings were ever needed if scanners can even determine an animal's level of intelligence in one go.

But ok I've been going in circles to get to my idea. So, what I would do, is have the PDA be broken. Either during the crash into the planet, or have Robin actively mess it up to avoid tracking from Alterra. So it's still used for storage, you can still keep scanned blueprints, and it still keeps track of all the info. The changes are exactly three. It doesn't talk, no matter what. It doesn't give you warnings or even display your hunger, thirst or even oxygen levels (Put a pin in that it's not that bad I swear), and there's a point made like" I have a scanner, oh... but it can't connect with the alterra database, it can only tell me some things about this animal... I have to figure the rest out myself." Bonus points if Robin is actually nervous about this prospect, realizing she's never researched with no outside sources before. Still brave and ready, but not acting like it's piece of cake or like she's not a little scared of her lives expertise being tested like this.

Functionally, it would work exactly the same. No gameplay changes here. The only things changed would be the writing and dialog. Fauna and flora scans would now be phrased as if written by Robin herself. "Ok, so the scan says this species has a high amount of CO2 in its body, in the same area as its waste passes through. Looking at it, those transparent pouches on its top and bottom are the only places with enough space to hold it. The scans don't detect any way for waste to leave the body, so could it just recycle its urine into clean water to use again like some species in places with sparse drinking water do? It's kind of gross, but I think I could get drinkable water out of that." Something like that.

And with the oxygen, hunger, cold and thirst, who would know better than the good helpful pal literally inside your body? Yep, that's right, Al-An would replace the PDAs survival system completely. He tells you if you're hungry or cold or need to breathe, because he can see into your brain cells or something.

This would mean that for the first bit of the game you would be left to just guess and or memorize what you need until you find Al-An. Maybe have Robin say something here and there. Like, "Ok, I can hold my breath for 45 seconds and I should eat every 30 minutes on average. Gotta remember that". But that would also add a layer to the game. Of the sort of morally gray kind. Do you really want Al-An out of your head? He wants to have autonomy again. But wouldn't you like to keep him around until you find the truth about your sister? Would make things a whole lot easier. He doesn't have to know you're stalling. And creating a two-sided situation where both characters hide information thinking they've got the other one under control would be really fun. Especially with Al-An also hiding information from Robin to make sure she doesn't decide to not make him a body because she thinks he's dangerous. And it would be adorable in the end for both to find out their mistrust was completely unwarranted. They'd both be like, "Wtf of course I would have helped you, you're my friend and I'd do anything for you. You thought I would just leave you to suffer like that?" Al-An could mod the PDA or something at that point idk.
