My time at Sandrock HCs

(Spoilers for the story just a heads up!)

I think everyone underestimates how scared the builder gets sometimes.

They're brave and jump into action without question. A helping hand is always outstretched even to folks who don’t quite want to take it, to those who slap it away with a snarl like a cornered animal, and to those who take it for granted.

Remember how the trolly line snapped and they fell, to what I’m sure they thought would be, death? Only to miraculously survive and crawl their way out of a swarmed Geegler camp with Justice and Captain.

I’m sure fighting the CEO of Geeglers (Larry) was scary, I’m sure when the battle ended they felt a sense of relief.

But can you imagine the fear they swallowed down when they charged onto the train, trying their damndest to save this town only to fall off of a high speed train.

I wonder if they felt relief seeing the bride collapse under the Geegler and train. I think maybe at night, when they climbed into that dingy and dusty bed in the workshop, they sobbed. They cried and clutched the blankets wishing it was Ma’s quilts that smelt of the breezes and Highwind. Maybe they thanked the light, perhaps they cursed it, or maybe thought nothing of the Light and only about the fact that if they didn’t fall off that train they would have fallen again, and into a chasm with no way out.

I wonder if they hate living so close to the station. Hearing the noises of a trains whistles and wheels squealing against the metal tracks, reminding them of the many train related incidents they’ve had.

Then here comes Mint almost getting ran over by a train. I bet for a second their feet froze mid step, before gritting their teeth and charging Mint off the the tracks.

I think maybe they hate heights.

I think during the night, they get that vertigo of feeling like they’re in the midst of falling and they wake up screaming and sobbing in a puddle of sweat.

I think the mornings they wake up to the trains whistles and whirls of noises result in a yelp, hands clutched over their ears as they try to forget the feelings of the rumbling train. Of falling. I dunno, I just think I suppose!

Andy is a Minecraft kid. No further explanation will be given if you know you know.

Hc: Owen used to have a country drawl and accent, but when he started to travel around and do Peach knows what in those years, he learned to hide it for some reason.

Sometimes when he’s real tired and exhausted, or someone gets him real angry that it breaks his kind disposition, etc- his old accent slips out, the ending of words have a little twang to them and some words are slurred (especially if he’s tired).

Romancing Owen gives the builder more opportunities to hear it in a more calm setting.

Seeing Avery finally smile is gonna be like:

[novadragoness]

A builder who totally understands where X is coming from, collecting all those shinies for Coco, because she also likes shiny things, and has been secretly leaving pretty rocks on Unsuur's porch for weeks now.

[vinnieex]

My theory for the entire debacle that was Justice throwing a deputy ceremony for a cat is that he was GOING to deputize the Builder.

But then, standing up on city hall, he realized how disappointed Unsuur would be and chose Captain to spare his feelings.

A first real conversation.

They’re going to be friends if I need to claw it out of the deepest depths. So have them talking recently after duvos invasion. I think everyone there needs some time to process it and Grace is probably the most used to it, but it’s still stressful yk. Esp bcuz things didn’t rly go according to her plan.

But it’s bizarre because she can finally let down her mask that she’s been wearing the whole time yk. And although in the moment, Qi has a hard time believing it’s all real and that she’s actually very competent and smart and all that in a field much closer to his than to cooking, I think after the dust settles, they can communicate in a non-antagonistic way. Not that they always do, but there’s quiet moments of understanding between them, because they’re both so alike and kind of just get each other on a fundamental level.

They looked at the stars a while after this, content to just sit in each others company a little longer.

Spoilers for My Time At Sandrock

This is going to do some speculation on a Character and they are part of the main plot so please read at your own risks. Thanks you :)

I’ve seen around that Pen might not be Howlett’s killer and that’s based on Pen enjoying combat/having admiration for Howlett and would dislike the idea of poison and instead would prefer a death by combat situation.(Matilda would be a better option for poisoning but that’s not the point of this post tho :( ) the reason some speculate to tell this to Logan is to enrage him and to spite him.

I raise you this as a plot point. What if Pen was/is Jealous of Logan? Given what we do know about Pen is that his Mom is dead and his dad is AWOL/a deadbeat. It would stand to reason that when he sees how Howlett is with Logan do you think a seed of envy is planted. “Like how is it that a runt like Logan has everything that I want but isn’t even grateful” kind of thinking and it’s only Fueled by Logan having the love of the town and only after a few years of being a bandit the town wants action against him and also getting close to the builder… his builder. I would be angry. Even during his own battle the main target of Pens wrath/attack was Logan even if the MC would be a key target to eliminate. So my HC if events are as follows

Pen is assigned at Sandrock

He gets to know some of the townsfolk

Gets to know Howlett and Logan

Respects Howlett and has some resentment towards Logan

Matilda then poisoned Howlett and framed it as an Old World Sickness which Fang can’t heal because Toxicology is sorta primitive at SR

Logan starts the fire

Pen chases Logan while Matilda gets to Howlett

Matilda then kills Howlett while Pen objects but relents because of his Loyalty to Duvos

Events of the game

(TLDR)

Pen being jelly of Logan could be a starting point of some of the things we see and would also justify Pen not being Howlett’s killer

Also have a great day reader thanks for reading this fever rant of mine have a picture of what my Oc would look like thanks to Pic crew

Some Howlett hcs pretty please? 🥺

Howlett 😭😭💙💜 (and yes, I do have more)

Howlett has an eternal alarm clock for five in the morning. He hates it as well and tries to sleep in, but it’s a struggle

He once had dog with a long scar over where an eye should’ve been- his name was Major (a Caucasian shepherd dog). A tan and dark brown type bigger than the man himself.

Major helped Howlett hunt and defended him no matter what the monster was that they decided to take on

Howlett hates grape jelly, something passed down onto Logan for some reason

He has an allergy to feathers but refuses to admit it- it’s obvious though when his eyes water up and he’s got his bandana tight around his nose and mouth when it comes to rocket roosters (or X or Coco)- those two are minimal, but roosters are his weakness

Howlett roasts those plier imps every time he sees them- they just give him the absolute creeps and he finds it’s easier to make jokes than to let himself think that they were once human and had evolved into that

Thoughts like that horrify him

Howlett is a kind and generous man, but he is also a hell of a haggler

Arvio has found that out the hard way for his overpriced items

The Mysterious Man is a circumstantial case to him however

He tunes out of fireside meetings often when he knows they’re just a weekly one

Because of that, he missed the news that Krystal was pregnant when it was announced

He thought they were cheering for one of Cooper’s yakmels getting pregnant again

Him and Logan have a series of inside jokes that no one can figure out

Haru and Howlett discuss theories on monster evolutions and cross breedings of some like the pensky

Howlett draws the line at those that resemble humans

He had a great dislike for Yan- he just rubs him the wrong way

He always knew Logan was smarter than he let on- he’d seen it enough times in the field and at home

But to hear his teacher tell him firsthand that Logan showed promise and intelligence even if he wasn’t necessarily book smart (mind you- he thought Logan was acting up or a disturbance in class)

He damn near weeped

The quickest way to that man’s heart is to acknowledge Logan and his efforts or capabilities or whatnot

Howlett used to always ruffle up Logan’s hair because it tweaked the kid- even when he was an adult and slightly taller

The last things Howlett touched before he died in order: Logan’s hair, his face, and over his heart.

One of my HCs for Sam is that she's best pals with Boxing Jacks because she's the only person who treats them seriously and takes her time to actually box with them. This stems from a fact that I never fight them with weapons, I just try to box with them. With Bogan Jack too since I'm usually overleveled and over-geared anyways

[moefongo]

I promised to keep quiet about the fic but Fang gets fiercely over protective of his new born especially when his step mother barges into their house

So imagine Fang finally snapping and confronting his father and step mother

Ok thats all I'll keep quiet again lol
