#HEHEHEHE IM STIMMING SM THANK U ALL FOR BEING INTERESTED IN THJS

I want the details about the pikman au/pikman in general I would love to hear it

UR ALL GIVING ME TOO MUCH POWER... I will just drop some tidbits here :)

Sunkist is in the au!!! In the game there are a type of pikmin called bulbmin which are actually... a parasitic species of pikmin.... that infect and take over the bodies of bulborbs.... But it’s okay because they are cute and function the same as normal pikmin, following Olimar and doing tasks for him :)

In the game, pikmin can drink nectar to upgrade them and that’s the parallel for the funny soda in this au! Theres also a creature called a honeywisp that carries it around and if you kill it, it drops the nectar, so that’s the version of Gordon beating up vending machines

There are actually also other pikmin in this au, but they function similarly to how the scientists do in hlvrai, which is to say they don’t. They mostly just fuck around and do dumb stuff or are mercilessly killed by the science team for no reason.

ALSO... one of my favorite little things they added to the games is that in the first one when Olimar escapes the planet he brings home a bottle cap as a souvenir for his son and... it just makes me so happy 2 think that even w the life threatening experience and the hostile planet... he was still thinkin about his son all that time n it’s just very sweet 🥺🥺 so Gordon does that for Joshie :)

Finally, in the game Olimar is able to punch things to attack them as well as use the pikmin, and there’s an upgrade for that called the rocket fist, which makes your attacks stronger and lets you hit multiple times!!! Darnold has this because he found it and tbh? it would make a great weapon/replacement if anyone did something CRAZY like lose their arm. Luckily that would never happen to our beloved protagonists 😌❤️
