Who’s coming to the cookout?

[vebokki]

do you ever wonder how often binghe created a dreamscape to see sqq when he was in the abyss? and how often he was abruptly waken up by hunger, wounds, or terrifying sounds and had to start all over again?

Wow crazy how it’s been two months since mha ended. what the hell was that btw

[blighted-lights]

thinking about them again,,

(this post by @weapon-up-wallflower had me thinking about rodimus' apology towards drift in dying of the light again, and,,, yea. not Fully related to the original post but it got me thinking)

ive always thought drift accepting the apology was one last form of appeasement towards rodimus- or at least less of a genuine acceptance and more of a, "we're probably going to die soon, do i really want rodimus to die thinking i hate him?"

but then they both lived 🤷‍♂️ and it was just easier for drift to fall back into his old role than try to change things. surely this will not cause a build up of resentment in the long run. surely.

actor au, was talking about it with some peeps in a discord server and got to talking about how megs would totally do a complete 180 personality flip between being "in-character" and "out-of-character". absolutely the perfect candidate for gap moe. goes from looking murderous, terrifying and dangerous to the most sweetest, friendliest and gentle person with the clapper cue. gives people mad whiplash with the utter contrast.

i'm like barely coherent because i'm running on no hours of sleep for nearly two days straight so sorry if i'm rambling and not making much sense lmao

Hiii @firesign-18! I wanted to be able to visualize how Himiko's costume looks like ever since it was conceptualized in the fic, so here's my sketch! If there's things you want to change or add, do lmk so it's as accurate as I can make it! I really love your fic sm so I hope u like it :>

Main character twisteds least to most common… [ Headcanon / AU ]

Shelly plenty have been counted, and at least one has actually been marked to be sure of this. We try our best to prevent the twisting of a Shelly, unfortunately though any latch they gain is hardly reliable. Even more easily forgotten or ignored in a crowd of toons than she ever was before...

Pebble The original sticks close to dandy, but a few spares have been created from lost pebbles. Usually used by dandy to keep lock n key on places he does not want toons investigating. There’s no need to mark the pebbles, as each one has a collar unlike the original. They come in different shades of the rainbow specifically, signifying dandys role in their creation and role as a whole.

Sprout sprouts are typically strong willed and don’t twist easily. Only one in recent times has actually twisted, and the other ones aren’t confirmed to be different… but there’s reason to believe there is different ones out there.

Astro typically don’t twist easily, surprisingly. At least not fully, partial twisting isn’t an uncommon sight in astros but they don’t fully twist almost ever. We know the original is twisted, but there’s likely one or two other twisted astros out there… one of them being. Upstairs with us. No one is happy about this, but we can’t make them leave.

Vee only one, and its the original vee. Most vees die before even having the chance to twist (mostly by twisted Vees own hands) and even then… Vees don’t twist super easily either, they handle things pretty well. A combination of that means it’s hardly ever an issue about more popping up, but recently that has been challenged and nobody is comfortable about that

Dandy only one. No other dandys seem to exist but this one, he is the only twisted variant of himself and the only toon variant of himself. So safe to say no others popping up is an issue, and thank god for that.

...On another note, Shelly and Pebble attack blindly. Pebble is following instinct and orders, Shelly is following the outrage and hate from her experience when not twisted. She has some bias towards killing other mains, but usually each Shelly is different in their killing.

Sprout and Astro attack those who intrude, neither of them are actively hunting others down in the same way Shelly and pebble do. There’s more of a feeling of desperation. sprout is trying to trap you down there with him, and Astro wants you to know his agony and suffering.

Vee and Dandy are likely the two twisted mains who ACTIVELY target mains, Vee is just more obvious and blatant because she’s not hiding under some guise and is constantly twisted.

Regular toons may experience a warped and twisted version of Vees gameshow before eventually being killed upon guessing wrong, meanwhile other mains? Don’t get the luxury or even the illusion of possibly getting away from her if they just guessed correctly. Especially obvious in other Vees, but twisted Vee does target other mains too. Those aren’t her friends, those ones aren’t real, they are nothing.

This is one of many posts I have planned on electricity. For this post specifically, I’m touching on the lack of autonomy the puppets have, and the unhealthy coping mechanisms and regression they fall into. If you listen closely, duck and red are talking about stain edwards, specifically how they had been used as a replacement for duck, in the background while yellow is preparing to climb the staircase. Considering the bigger boys actions later on in the episode, this feels more significant than just a joke or a piece of background dialogue (it probably is, just bear with me for the sake of over analysis). It’s a detail I don’t see brought up often, but an interesting one nonetheless. Not just because it’s funny, but because it serves as insight for what’s to come. This conversation is barely audible as yellow stares up into the black abyss above him. A divide between the trio is set up here, they are not on the same page. As yellow scales the staircase, base level red and duck fiddle with electricity. Theres a lack of care for the objects, or even living things around them showcasing that have that potential to do worse like the big and bigger boys. On a smaller scale, yes, but there’s a colder quality to the scene. Electracy warns them that what they’re doing is too much, but they are ignored. This ultimately leads to the power outage, spurred on by the two’s reckless over usage of electricity

The limited use of technology, and by contrast overconsumption is intentional, as it showcases a real lack of freedom. The puppets are stuck in a cycle regardless of what they do. They desperately want to feel in control of something even if it’s trivial. When they’re not doing that, the trio find themselves waiting for things like having access to a computer once a year. It’s worth noting that Colin is an older model of computer, as is pretty much every other piece of technology in the house. Interestingly, the trio do actually own a laptop, which is a lot more modern in appearance. They are never seen doing anything with it however. The few things that do take on a more modern appearance are either unusable or serve as a distraction. So the choice of duck having a hand held device in the void feels significant. It’s almost like a reminder to the audience that in theory, knowledge is right outside of their grip but they will never have it. Everything they do is limited.

The fridge scene is a rare moment where we see the puppets speak their genuine feelings, no strings attached. Not at all one sided or hollow. Duck and Red sit beside each other in the fridge scene knowing this is not something they’re allowed to have, but you can tell they want to scoot closer. They live in an unforgiving routine where the mere act of looking at each other feels like rebellion. They’re something more tangible and warm than their bigger counterparts, even if through skin made of cheap felt and faux fur. Compare this to the cold emptiness of the big and bigger boys and how duck and red seem to grow further apart despite always being paired together. Even if they’re sitting at a similar length in both rooms, the bigger boys seem to be magnetically pulled apart rather than together. The big boys sit side by side with their limbs tangled, in defiance maybe, but they don’t question their environment anymore and the walls have gotten smaller. The bigger boys live in a pseudo- futuristic prison. They have become the technology seen being fiddled with before. They play into each other’s antics, but lack any real emotion which greatly upsets yellow once he comes across them. He watches as they poke and prod at a suspiciously stain edwards shaped hunk of meat as their only source of entertainment, thinking that this is as good as it gets. Technology prodding at flesh. A parallel between Stain Edwards and the puppets can be drawn here.

Stain Edwards, in their initial appearance clearly craves more in life, but their sole purpose is to be moldable, to be shaped into anything the hands that grasp them want them to be. The trio are the same way, though they don’t know it. They’re obviously not aware of their true situation, but each of them have their own level of awareness, albeit in different areas, but that’s a different post for a different time. Red and duck comply and mold to their environments out of fear, a fear of losing that false sense of control. So, the bigger boys become the perpetrators of violence. They let bitterness consume them until they’re unrecognizable. Their egos get the better of them, fully encompassing them and leaving nothing but mechanical empty husks behind. Red and Duck are tricked into believing they’re in control, when in reality they’ve dug themselves into an even deeper hole than before. They expect yellow to join them, as this is just the way things are, and this horrifies him. Here before him are creatures that sound vaguely like his friends but in a completely unrecognizable form. Ultimately, no matter what form they take on, yellow’s urge to search for answers will always scare them. Yellow’s batteries means change, and change means bad things will happen. No more false sense of control. Yellow literally has his awareness stolen from him time and time again through his batteries. Without them, not only can’t he properly articulate himself, but he also can’t remember what happened before.

Yellow loves his friends, he knows that they’re flawed, and he can’t help but scale back down the staircase time and time again to help them. They’re all he has. He knows that they’re smart to an extent, but is that enough? Will they be able to handle it this time? I think he knows the answer to this already, though he desperately wants it not to be true. He knows that it’s not their fault that they get like this, but also maybe it is. Because truthfully the two like to let it get worse. Yellow sees the good in Duck and red and he wants them to do better, even if his efforts are in vain. Because the puppets do not have autonomy. He shreds the book because he can’t bear a reality where his friends don’t love him, but also because that’s where his strings are pulling him to begin with. He looks to duck as he does so knowing it will make him happy, as if to say he’s not wrong anymore. All he ever wants is to please him. Truthfully, that book had nothing that could truly help them , as such a thing doesn’t exist. Still there’s that small thought in the back of his mind that it could, and ultimately he chooses his friends over knowledge every time. It was never his choice to begin with. It was inevitably going to end this way, and a small part of yellow knows that, even if he can’t express it. The puppets are prisoners here, prisoners to another prisoner. She too participates in the same routines everyday, she too has strings that hold her back, but that’s a post for another day.
