#Bloxx-AU

[bloxxy-slugcats]

first OC reference, Void!

Void is a strange slugcat, having actual stars all over his body, that glow in the dark slightly, just like his eyes also glow in the dark, and its known, that he was made by an iterator, called "LttS", or Looks to the Stars (i can finally talk again with that crack head gone fn). and also, he always seems to be in lower gravity

his relationships with everyone go like this

Survivor - good friend | they tend to like to hang out together, and do things together

Monk - good friend | Void finds it nice and easy to relax and rest when with Monk

Hunter - friend | while he doesn't really hang out with Void a lot, he still would want to protect Void if danger appears

Artificer - good friend | she tends to be more protective of him at times, and will often be seen resting, and not minding if Void joins her

Gourmand - good friend | he likes Gourmands cooking, and tends to eat anything (literally, he can even eat spears, aka rebar, but he mostly eats normal things, even though he literally can eat anything, m'boi is a slugcat-black hole mix)

Rivulet - good friend | they like to play tag, and Void is good at it, since he just floats up to where he cant be caught thanks to his constant lower gravity

Spearmaster - good friend | he kinda finds a comfort in knowing Spearmaster was also made by an iterator

Saint - friend | fluffy, easy to sleep with

Nightcat - good friend | she likes how silent he is, and how calm he can be, plus she is quite interested in how Void looks as he does

Enot - friend | while she does pull pranks, Void always finds the funny side of it, plus she doesn't do pranks to him often

Iso - non biological brother | if i were to tell ya'll who they basically the Mario brothers with how close they are

Boomer - best friend | he kind of acts almost in a way like a big brother to him, since he is still as young as he is (around Monks age)

Mimi - best friend | he always finds it interesting and cool how Mimi can do what he can do

Was it you who put forth the idea that Segmentosapiens (Bloxx) and Lenopans were related species from the same planet? Just that Bloxx was from the dryer regions and Lenopans from the more humid? If so, I’d like to suggest Sandbox being in a very similar boat. Most interpretations of Sandbox have him literally be a mass of living sand. It feels like that’d fit in with the other two

That was me, yes. Bloxx's kind lives on the same homeworld as the Lenopans, being distant relatives made of dirt. Sandbox is an alien that I would most likely make my own ideas for, since while we have popular artists that have made their own versions of him, him and the other S lads are all fun because you can make your own ideas for them. Plus I like keeping the Bloxx and Lenopan concept simple. I don't wanna pull the whole "Every fire/plant/earth alien has to exist on the same planet" issue, as that can feel limiting to me.

O.R Ash has already released a video doing the Ultimate forms for the OV Aliens!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sfn9UsTKDI

What do you guys think of your ultimate forms?

"It's fun! That flashbang's come in real handy a few times already! I wish The Worst would stop calling me 'bottom-heavy' whenever I use it though..."

"Eh, it's not that impressive. I kinda feel like I turned into Terraspin whenever I use it."

"It's nice to be a bit taller! And I like how much more reach I have. I'm so much faster at cleaning up messes!"

"I guess it's nice bein' more stable, but I prefer havin' a base body to reform into."

"I could have sworn my Ultimate form was different the last time I used it... Nevermind. It's not like it changed that much anyway."

[tramon81]

I've been toying with the idea for a while in the discord server @ut-poppy-askblog. Poppy 10 is finally a thing (unofficially) and these are 5 of the Original 10 Aliens Poppy starts with, chosen by the Poppy-Man himself (@fmsdraws) and drawn by yours truly.

Dinge, die ich auf meinem alten Handy gefunden habe

Nachdem meine Mutter es geschafft hat, die Abdeckung zu öffnen, konnte ich nun endlich mein 10 Jahre altes Handy wieder benutzen.

Eine Simkarte von Tchibo, aber die 5€ darauf waren nur bis 2012 gültig

Den guten alten Nokia-Klingelton

Die Internettaste, auf die man niemals draufkommen durfte und wenn man es doch mal getan hat, hat man panisch auf die “Auflegen” Taste gedrückt

Ein Bild von meiner Mutter

Mehrere Bilder von unserem Weihnachtsbaum 2009

Ein Bild von belegten Brötchen

Ein Selfie

Ein Bild von einer Packung Frikadellen

Bilder von damals, als im Altenheim gegenüber ne Mülltonne gebrannt hat, aber es war dunkel und man erkennt nichts.

Videos von mir und meinem Vater, als wir gerade in unsere jetzige Wohnung gezogen waren. Wir trinken Tees und essen Forellenfilets und ich laber jede Menge Scheiße.  Praktischerweise habe ich auch die Zeitung gefilmt. Damalige Schlagzeilen: “Winterwetter bremst Reisende aus” und irgendwas mit Papst Benedikt.

Eine “Alles Gute zum Geburtstag” MMS von meiner Tante

Eine “Alles Gute zum Geburtstag” SMS von meiner Tante

Voreingestellte Textvorlagen für SMS, wenn man nicht alles selbst tippen wollte

Eine nie gesendete SMS an meine Mutter, in der ich ihr schreibe, dass Musik ausgefallen ist

Sechs Nummern: Meine Tante, meine Mutter, der Arbeitsplatz meiner Mutter, mein Opa, mein Vater und unsere Festnetznummer (die ich eh auswendig kann)

Drei Spiele: Backgammon, Bubble Bash und City Bloxx

Eine viel zu veraltete Bluetooth-Funktion, die nicht mehr funktioniert, weil sie keine Geräte findet

bigger Hunter reference

when he was tasked with bringing the Slag Reset Key to Moon, he was already starting to feel the symptoms of having the rot inside him: restless nights, losing his appetite even when starving, feeling completly out of energy/about to pass out. but once he delivered it to Moon, he managed to make his way up to FP, who then managed to give Hunter a cure, while it did take awhile to have its full effect, it did cure Hunter, but with some side-effects.

his relationships with everyone go like this (will update after i release my OCs)

Survivor - friend | he saved him from lizards

Monk - friend | he saved him from lizards

Artificer - love | hard to explain, he loves how violent she is, it was practically love at first sight, though, she took a bit longer

Gourmand - friend | he finds Gourmand kind, and mostly likes him because of his very good cooking

Rivulet - neutral/friend | she was kinda the one to convince Hunter to let Artificer know how he felt about her

Spearmaster - best friend | he doesn't mind how Spearmaster acts, he just likes that Spearmaster is basically a naturally built hunter

Saint - neutral | Hunter doesn't mind him, but he thinks Saint could learn a thing or two, of how to fight more, and be more violent

Nightcat - neutral | he doesn't really know Nightcat all that much

Enot - dislike | he finds Enot a little too strange most the time, and tends to just ignore her most the time

-Ben 101 Rewrite Note-

Lenopans and Segmentasapiens come from the same world, and are sister species to each other. Lenopans come from wet and muddy biomes, while Segmentasapiens come from deserts. Both are dirt/clay based shapeshifting creatures, but do so in different ways. Their cultures are also different, with Lenopans being more aggressive and military like, while Segmentasapiens and calm and quiet. The two species don't come into contact that much due to the drastically different locations, but they are known to be peaceful towards each other.

For OV Aliens

Whats the most annyiong thing that the worst dose?

anything that make him "THE WORST"

I Hate him too

"He keeps being a jerk about me...you know. Being gone for a few years."

"He leaves his junk everyhwere! I've told him to clean up after himself several times, but he just ignores me! You know what he said to me that one time? 'cleaning up's your job.' I just...Gah! How can any living organism leave that much trash??"

"He keeps drinking my protein shakes! He doesn't even like them, every time he gulps one down he comes whining to me after about how 'bland' they are, but he keeps doing it anyway!"

"One time my jetpack was malfunctioning and when I checked I discovered he put one of his gums near the engine! Who does that??? I literally could've died!"

"I say, he can be quite rude about my moustache. One time he switched out my grooming products for glue! Glue!! Quite lucky I noticed in time."

"That story 'bout him sticking gum on Astro's jetpack? He does that to me too. Can't dismantle near him even once without bein' used as a trash can. Gross!"

"He breathes."

"He keeps trying to force me into bright spaces. I've told him many times I can't handle sun-light. And he keeps insisting I'm being 'too sensitive'."

"I lost count of the amount of times he tried to get me to make some kinda 'love gas' for him to spray on some poor girls."

"I wish he'd stop tryin' to get me to call back Attea. He's always yabberin' on 'bout 'livin' the good life' once I marry her."

[mikrokomisch]

wie (un)angebracht ist nostalgie eigentlich?

ich unterrichte gerade deutsch. deutsch als fremdsprache. das heißt: ich muss keine gelangweilten “null bock”- teenager motivieren, sondern tolle erwachsene, die für meine muttersprache zahlen. das gehalt beschissen. die leute toll. was sie zu sagen haben, immaterieller lohn. sage ich mir.

heute bin ich mit meinen schülern/ leute, die mir zuhören und sich für wechselpronomen begeistern, in eine kneipe gegangen. wir haben über musik, plattenläden, passion, abundanz, überdruss und darüber gesprochen, wie cool alles früher war. früher. vor allem in berlin. “lust & sound in west berlin”. “hätte ich damals gelebt....”. früher war sogar prenzlauer berg “voll assi”, hab ich in einer doku gesehen,” sagten sie. “ja.”, sagte ich. “damals waren iggy pop, dawid bowie und nick cave hier. die haben in einer wg gelebt.” “naja, fast.” sage ich. wir fangen an darüber zu sprechen, wie cool alles damals war. und ich denke: früher war alles besser. mmmh. naja. da würde auch die afd unterschreiben. aber es ging uns weniger um politik, denn um musik. worüber ich weitaus lieber plaudere. wir dachten: früher gab es noch etwas zum kämpfen. man musste sich mehr anstrengen für musik. ich sagte nichts mehr, habe aber diesen eintrag in meinem tagebuch gefunden, den ich jetzt hier rein kopiere:

(mai 2009) ein besuch des elternhauses ist irgendwie immer wie eine kleine reise in die vergangenheit - ob man jetzt im allgäu, im emsland, im ruhrgebiet oder in südbrandenburg aufgewachsen ist.

als rebellischer nestflüchter hatte sich in meinem jugendzimmer über jahre nichts getan: ich kam "heim" mit 20, mit 25, mit 30 und noch immer zierte ein green day-poster die tür zu meinem ‘jugenzimmer’. viel stauraum für pubertäre träume und geheimnisse. alles irgendwie irgendwo integriert. maßgeschneidert. wie in einer schiffskajüte. mein reich. am kleiderschrank ein poster mit der silhouette eines sich küssenden pärchens am sinnlich belichteten airbrush-strands. im hintergrund springen zwei delphine aus dem meer und formen ein herz. adoleszente softpornoromantik. bravo girl, ausgabe märz 1994.

ich betrachte mich im spiegel, aber kann mich nicht sehen. das konvolut an stickern aus abonnierten jugendzeitschriften erschwert die sicht auf das eigene antlitz. vermutlich versperrte es auch schon den blick auf die modesünden der 90er. im spiegel sehe ich den setzkasten an der wand hinter mir. kitsch. fette nilpferdfiguren aus ovalen „kinder“-produkten.

geknüpfte freundschaftsarmbänder, fotos des ersten freundes, an dessen namen ich mich nicht erinner. ein tagebuch. die frage: händchen halten oder nicht. eine handgemachte collage: alles gute zum 13. geburtstag. daran hängend ein seidener tanga, eine schachtel eve-frauenzigaretten. fotos, auf denen ich mal rote, mal blonde und mal blond-rote haare habe.

auch musiktechnisch eröffnen sich lange nicht betretene portale in die vergangenheit: kassetten von new kids on the block, roxette, 2unlimited, dune, scooter, blümchen, haddaway, bravo hits 1-18, spin doctors, the prodigy, dog eat dog, the bates, h-bloxx, the offspring, the cranberries, nirvana, skunk anansie, rage against the machine, eine maxi-cd. “max don’t have sex with your ex”. was wohl aus 'max' geworden ist?

ganz passend, habe ich den letzten abend im fremd gewordenen elternhaus allein, fast einsam verbracht. ein paar gläser guter moselwein. auf arte lief eine doku. „summer of the 90's“. die anfänge von mtv. euro-dance. mayday.

ich konnte mich des akuten anflugs von nostalgie, den diese dokumentation und die inventur meines alten zimmers bei mir auslösten, nur schwer erwehren. wo ist nur die zeit geblieben? ich kann mich noch erinnern, wie ich mit meinem ersten kassettendoppeldeck, dass ich mir schwer erarbeitet hatte, die sonntäglichen radio-charts aufgenommen habe. immer eifrig bemüht, die stimme des nervigen moderators abzuschneiden. hoffend, betend, er möge den song doch bitte vollends ausspielen. hier liegen sie, die zeugnisse dieser zeit. fein verziert und säuberlich archiviert.

das ganze ließ mich nachdenken über die wertschätzung von musik. wenn ich heute in berlin zu einem konzert gehe, frage ich mich immer wieder, wie die menschen es schaffen, so teilnahmslos herumzustehen. mögen die die bands nicht, zu dessen konzerten sie gehen? soll das vintage-blüschen nicht nassgeschwitzt werden? die konzept-mimik nicht verrutschen? ist tanzen peinlich? und lachen? haben sie alles schon gesehen? bin ich zu anspruchslos? stimmt etwas nicht mit meiner begeisterungsfähigkeit?

und warum halten so viele leute permanent ihre i-phones in die lüfte, um videos zu drehen von denen es im weltweitnetz einen haufen in viel besserer qualität gibt? vimeo. youtube. “die neuen MTVs” sagt ein typ in der arte-doku. lange aufbleiben, um „yo raps“ zu sehen oder sogar den wecker zu stellen für ray cokes – nicht mehr nötig. man muss auch nicht mehr in den club gehen, um den dj zu nerven und notizen auf einem kleinen zettel zu machen.

in einer radio-show sagt john peel – dieser zeitgeist-nostradamos, dieses trüffelschwein musikalischer neuigkeiten: „leute, ich hab hier so ne band entdeckt, die heißen nirvana, die spielen ganz gute musik“.

jetzt spotify, downloadhelper, soundcloud, bandcamp, online radio, blog xy. alles verfügbar. immer. grandios. weniger ballast. im regal keine platten und cd's mehr. aber was mache ich, wenn ich einen typen date, seine wohnung inspiziere und da weder tonträger noch bücher finde, weil sich sein geschmack auf mps und e-books versteckt?

vermutlich bin ich einfach nur eine hoffnungslose nostalgikerin. ich liebe die technischen errungenschaften. aber etwas romantik scheint verloren gegangen.

tapes aufnehmen, rausschneiden, die von freunden kopieren, bemalen, wecker stellen, MTV schauen, wochendendticket kaufen, um eine band im damals noch unglaublich weiten berlin zu sehen, kassette oder cd kaufen, millionen mal hören, booklet und lyrics studieren. und ich meine: studieren!

meinen vater am frühstückstisch auf diese gedanken ansprechend wurde mir klar, wie einfach ich es doch hatte. in der ddr aufgewachsen musste man noch einen tacken kreativer sein, um seine lieblingsbands hören zu können. selbstgefrickelte antennen auf dem dach, um einen sender des feindlich-kapitalistischen westens zu empfangen, tonbandgerät und mikro ans radio – mehr gerausche und gesurre, als musikalischer genuss. aber für die beatles, doors und the who macht man alles möglich. repression setzt ungeahnte, kreative energien frei. die für mich schönste geschichte meines vaters ist folgende szene: er ist in der nva. ein 19jähriger, milchgesichtiger dorfjunge, stationiert in königswusterhausen oder so. einmal muss er raus aus der kaserne und einen krank gewordenen kollegen als verkehrspolizist ersetzen. stalinallee. es galt, den verkehr regeln und einen armeekonvoi sicher ans ziel zu bringen. aus dem augenwinkel sah mein vater einen typen, der in einer art bauchladen beatles und rolling stones-platten am strassenrand vertickte. streng verbotener soundtrack des kapitalistischen klassenfeindes im berliner osten. mein vater, wichtig wirkend in seiner nva-uniform, im gesicht noch kaum ein barthaar, zögert nicht lange, lässt den nva-kollegen auf der großen kreuzung allein und rennt los. eine platte. nur eine....wahrscheinlich hätte er all seine ersparnisse, ach, sein letztes hemd dafür gegeben. der dem westen zugewandte, nicht linientreue typ erblickte meinen vater in seiner uniform und rannte, als ginge es um sein leben. und vermutlich hätte es darum gehen können. zumindest um eine stippvisite der stasi. oder eine stippvisite in hohenschönhausen. mein vater hinterher. als ginge es auch um das seinige. eine rollings stones-platte war sein leben. keuchend gab er auf. der typ war schneller. und mit ihm gingen die platten.

nach dem mauerfall kaufte mein vater alle stones und beatles-platten und studierte ihre cover und lyrics. ich meine: studieren. spotify kennt er nicht. vermutlich hat er den computer mit dem 12kg bildschirm, auf dem windows xp läuft, auch schon lange nicht mehr eingeschaltet.

bigger Artificer reference with the boi

after having been alone for a long time, fending for herself, after Gourmand saved her from dying, she decided to stay with his group, seeing it to be better then being alone, she will be with other slugcats again, plus she was still weak from what happened

her relationships with everyone go like this (will update after i release my OCs)

Survivor - friend | he reminds her of her old kids

Monk - friend | he reminds her of her old kids

Hunter - love | hard to explain, she cares about him, and finds it nice having a hunting partner all the time

Gourmand - good friend | awhile ago, he found her hurt and unconscious, and helped her get back to full health

Rivulet - neutral | she only really knows her because of Hunter, even then, Artificer finds her too energetic for her

Spearmaster - friend | she likes that Hunter has a good friend to accompany him when he goes on hunting trips without her for what ever reason

Saint - neutral/biological/nonbiological "sibling" | neither of them know this, but when Saint was being created by SoS. she had been in contact with SRS before her demise. and borrowed some DNA lines that he used to make Artificer, to which she then created Saint, using mostly unchanged versions of those exact DNA lines

Nightcat - neutral | she barely knows Nightcat at all, and rarely sees her most time, but still worrys about her if a situation appears

Enot - dislike | something about her is just, diffrent, and Artificer doesn't like it

[bloxxy-slugcats]

bigger Survivor reference (plus an unnamed OC that will get his own later when i finish my other OC's)

Survivor - second youngest of everyone (not including my OC's). tends to enjoy the quiet more, and loves Gourmand's cooking. he had always had slight insomnia, but it had gotten slightly worse after him and Monk got swept away in the giant storm, and he had to stay up late and get up early constantly, to keep them both safe and alive. and he swears he sees a thing with Saint, but after he blinks, its gone, and everyone thinks he is just seeing things.

his relationships with everyone go like this (will update after i release my OCs)

Monk - younger sibling/brother | very very close

Hunter - good friends | he saved them from lizards

Artificer - good friends | she almost acts like a protective figure to him and Monk

Gourmand - uncle-like figure | he knew Survivor and Monk's old colony, and decided to act almost like an uncle for them,

Rivulet - friend | he does find her a little too active at times, but overall he doesn't mind her that much

Spearmaster - neutral | he likes how quiet Spearmaster tends to be, but finds his behavior, confusing

Saint - neutral | while he is calm around Saint, he keeps seeing something with or around him, but no one else sees it, and he only sees it for a moment, it freaks him out

Nightcat - Queerplatonic | they are close, very close, while they aren't mates directly, he finds her shyness and quietness, cute

Enot - neutral | he only really knows her thanks to Nightcat. even then, he finds her weird at times, since she acts funny, and uses slang a lot, that sometimes he cant even understand her because of it

??? - confused |

"Monk, i swear i keep on seeing, something with him!"

"Survivor! please, just sleep, nothings wrong, there isn't some thing with him, just, sleep, your just tired"

"...fine"
