Here’s a collection of Fool’s Gold kitties that I’ve sent in the Fool’s Gold discord

Bonus: Jack on catnip

I’m so normal about them (lying)

A Better Life

Imagine Gothi taking baby Sips and raising him in order to ensure that her closest friend has a good life this time.

Imagine the stumbling lost princess trying to balance foreclaimer stuff and trying to be a "normal" parent for Sips, which is both something that Sips doesn't necessarily need and something she's incapable of supplying.

Imagine Sneeze going from being the little brother to the big brother overnight, and trying to "toughen up" to keep his friend safe and happy.

Imagine the other party members coming over to visit baby Sips. Erina is a loving aunt-like figure. Gorthan is a goofy uncle. Julian just makes sure Sips doesn't get himself into trouble and die. Jack avoids him because Sips keeps biting him.

Imagine Gothi meets Vicky and has to "introduce" her to Sips, and she doesn't quite get it because she's so young and the monkey she knew before had a crocodile hand and had much more of an edge and he didn't shrink THAT much, did he? But she still loves him regardless.

Imagine Gothi missing her old friend while he sits RIGHT THERE in front of her, a helpless toddler, different and yet the same.

Imagine Sips starts to catch on that he's different, and not just because he's a monkey. His family talk about him like they know more than they reasonably should, and they also say things about him that he KNOWS aren't true. He catches them telling stories about him that he definitely doesn't remember, sighing wistfully. He has nightmares filled with scales and hands and hearts and crystals that he doesn't fully understand but that feel so REAL.

Imagine how lost Sips would feel when Gothi and the others finally tell him that this isn't the first time he's lived this life, nor is it the first time they've lived a life together. How confusing it would be to see the others talk about him like an old friend and a young child at the same time. How hurt he may feel that almost nobody important to him actually came to love him in this life, the life he can remember, the life he identifies himself by.

Imagine Sips slowly gains his memories of his old life back. They're fuzzy and lack detail, but he remembers. He remembers the love and time he shared with his fam- his friends. And he remembers the hardships. The beheadings. The loss of control. He remembers bantering with someone he views as his mother like they were- well, not parent and child. He remembers the pain he felt, and the pain he caused. He remembers, and the trauma starts to affect his life again because oh god HE REMEMBERS. But he's not on the run anymore. He's not cursed. And his frien- his family can look out for him.

Imagine Sips grows up. Some of his friends grow older with him, some don't. Gothi doesn't, and eventually they reach a similar "age." Gothi is thrilled because this is what she WANTED. She wanted her friend back, the one who she danced and fought and bickered and bantered with. She wanted her friend to have a better life, and he HAS one. But everything's not the same, because Sips is just as much a baby monkey she raised as he is her old friend. And they both get confused by this, and for a while they stumble through their dynamic. But eventually they reach stability. Something unfamiliar, but not different.

Imagine that everything isn't perfect and nothing's the same, but Sips gets a chance to live his life, without curses or gods screwing it up for him, with the people he loves so much.

silly lil guys

(also my first time drawing erina!!)

[artemx746]

really hope it becomes much more clear in the future of fool's gold that the foreclaimers aren't bad because they don't have empathy, but rather because they based their society on people having a set "value" and killing people who aren't "Valuable enough". Plus they also tortured a god for 300+ years

[mmmfanfiction]

so how did you guys think of episode 32? Haven’t really seen much of it around. Anyways smoll Sips is so friggen CUTE

Perfect blend of comedy and heartfelt emotion as always @dingodoodles

So anyways:

Reblogs immediately after this has the rest of them (I was inspired)

shut up lemmy analyze the falling poses real quick

Jack

it's what you'd expect from him. this dude is like the living embodiment of the phrase "scaredy cat". so him not being prepared for the landing and his hat going in the air- tracks really well.

Erina

firstly, shes holding her hat down; unlike jack. and she's also more prepared to fall. her pose emmits her charisma as well as also being decently practical. her arm is out and her knees are tucked (which isn't a good choice for the landing but its eh when you're falling.), arm being useful for balance and knees.. i don't have any clue there's a lot here that i want to say but i cant put into words it looks erina, feels erina, and is erina is the base of that. her pose is just.. her. you can tell. which says a lot on its own honestly.

Jawbone

dog that- thats all i got. dog..

i mean.. hes ready.. ..dog...

Gothi

she probably has the most practical pose, as her legs are out for the landing (toes pointed may i add, which is good because landing on your feet flat is going to be way worse so land on your toes kiddos), arms out for good balance, she's ready. she's prepared. which i think says a lot. Physically, she's prepared. ready, she's the leader, she's the fighter, she's got this.. but then you cut to later episodes and she's having to go through her friend trying to commit a genocide, her other friend losing control of himself and helping that genocide, meeting her people and learning they're trying to improve but that's not going to stop xanu, and meeting the emperor of the foreclaimers who turns out to be the grandson of the same person who yoinked her face way back when. all of this you can't be prepared for.. you can't anticipate and yet. she's trying.. Physically, she's got this. Mentally.... looking at her- i.. don't know dude that's a lot- everyone needs therapy here-

Sips

saved him for last because i knew i woudl talk about him the most- Sips has always had the same falling pose; weightless, compact, and facing upwards. Not at the fall itself. instead looking at where he fell from. Yes this is accidently turning into a personality analysis i cant help it- but firstly i just wanna say: THIS IS NOT PRACTICAL BRO YOU'RE GONNA BREAK SOMETHING! but that honestly tracks- as sips has never really cared much for physical health in that.. state- cough cough t-rex death cough- he falls as though he got pushed off the edge, as though thats the end and honestly it fits him like a glove. he's always been on the edge of danger- of loosing it all. of loosing his control- his life- those he cares about. everything.. so falling off the deep end is just a constant. something that happens frequently for him.. It also shows in his body language that as he's falling he's more in his head than in his body.. since his pose is definitely not practical for the impact of a physical fall. but a mental space. He's thinking or contemplating about something as he's falling instead of thinking about the fall. which. tracks

LEAVE IT TO ME TO ANALYZE A SCREENSHOT OF PEOPLE FALLING ✨

Monthly Update #3: February 2024!

Welcome back to our monthly update post! We've been hard at work on all fronts since our last update. We've got a vast majority of the monster sprites for the demo completed and implemented, we have most of the cutscenes and main story work done, we have way more music now, and most of our portraits are also done. There's new items and skills being added as well. Right now, we've got quite a few enemies sprited out, including our magnificent sharkhound sprites by Ody.

As another little sneak tidbit, here's the battle theme from the OST. We called it Erina Reference because it sounded very much like a JJBA song.

We hope to see you guys next month with our next monthly update! - Tenmei
