Hey, I had something but I sent it to the wrong thing, sorry about that! To say it again do you have any head-cannons about what the members of Deep Cut did before they made the band?

Their families were very close, and all three were childhood friends. They'd go to each others' houses very frequently. Big Man was a little German boy in suspenders with a propeller hat and a lollipop. Frye was the most popular and coolest. Shiver loved wearing yukatas and was always trying to impress the group by doing something cool, like a cartwheel, only to fall on her face and start crying.

I've got a question for and or about Buck. So he also goes by and is referred to as "The Invincible Bulkhead" but I was wondering if he's actually invincible, like superpower wise, or if it's just a name because he's a strong guy?

[Image ID: A black-and-white digital ink drawing of Puzz's OC Buck, a middle-aged white man with a barrel-chested build, big nose, balding hairstyle and bushy mustache, wearing a turtleneck sweater. He is standing with his hands on his hips and glaring, saying, "Wouldn't you like to know. End ID.]

Buck's not especially eager to talk through the strengths and weaknesses of His Whole Deal, but I have no such hangups! The answer's sure to get a little rambly (and also, content warning, is Talking About Ways You Could Theoretically Kill This Guy), so I'll put it under the cut.

So the long and short is basically "Buck DOES have powers, but he's not actually invincible". Buck's superpower is more along the lines of superhuman durability - he can take a lot of hits that would severely injure or kill the average person, and he bounces back from most injuries far faster. Say, for example, you slam a two-by-four into his face or something. Average person's going to have a broken nose, maybe even be concussed; Buck's gonna have a brief nosebleed and then be back at it.

The big shortcomings to this come in terms of what this power DOESN'T do. For one, it doesn't come with any kind of super strength or natural fighting abilities - he's only about as strong as you'd expect an average middle-aged man to be, and he's actually pretty dogshit at fighting hand-to-hand, both of which are why he generally relies on piloting a mech while Davey (who, despite having a civilian upbringing and no superpowers, IS a very capable hand-to-hand combatant) does most of the physical fighting.

The other big thing is that, as stated, Buck's durable rather than invincible. What this basically means is, if it's something a human body can't theoretically, physically recover from on its own, it's possible for him to die because of it. So like, if he's suffocated or drowned or otherwise can't breathe, that would kill him, because his super-durability isn't, like, generating bonus air for him. Similarly, something like decapitation would kill him, because the healing wouldn't kick in faster than the actual Death Effects. All this comes together to mean Buck's more likely to die of, like, a really bad asthma attack than he is getting the shit beaten out of him by a superhero.

Here's a fun one! Let's say that a job just went poorly, like, REALLY poorly, and now the main three have to lay low for a while, or at least for a bit before they can safely go home. Where do you think they would go/what would they do to kill the heat? Either as a group or individuals

it probably depends on what kind of job and how bad things broke - most of the time, if things go shitways, they just go back to the hideout and avoid leaving or being seen outside it for however long it takes for the heat to die down. if things are REALLY bad, like, "if we go back to our usual hideout they are going to try and track down the hideout and then we have NOTHING" level bad, they do actually have a shitty little safehouse in a rough part of town. failing both of those options, they'd probably have to resign themselves to hitting the road and living out of Buck's car for a while (both Buck and Davey did this separately at different points in their respective villain careers, Buck for much longer than Davey)

[anonymouspuzzler]

Here's a question for you! How hard do you think it'd be to start an argument with one of the main three? Either as a stranger or one of the other two.

Bonus Forklift-Certified question, which team do you think they'd pick for the final splatfest?

oh it definitely depends on the context of the argument and who you are. buck and minnie can incite arguments with each other really easily, because they're both Extremely Alike, very hotheaded, and (though neither of them will ever admit this even under threat of death) they feel safe enough around each other to argue without fear of things escalating or turning sour. buck and davey also know how to incite each other pretty well, and davey's gotten minnie figured out fairly quickly, but in all those cases it doesn't generally go further than playful bickering.

more generally, Minnie's probably the easiest to start an argument with - she's Young, Opinionated, Needs To Be The Smartest Person In The Room, and doesn't really have a regard for Social Consequences yet. Buck's probably next - he's a bit of a curmudgeon and can get riled up fairly easily, but on the flip side, he's also very socially anxious, so depending on who you are and what you're riling him up about he might get too panicked to risk fighting back and just clam up instead. by contrast, davey comes off as very laid-back and it's hard to provoke him into an argument, but in many ways he's got more of a temper than Buck does, and if you do manage to provoke him you are not getting out of that argument unscathed.

forklift certified is terrified of splatfests and will be spending the next two weeks under a rock sobbing and waiting for death

Is there anything that you find really cool from an outside perspective (a certain media, game, hobby, etc.) but weren't really able to get to stick when you tried it yourself?

oh my god what ISN'T there. i'm fascinated by game development but can't wrap my head around coding (similar case with web design), I would love to get into music but have never been able to click with it, i love animation but don't have the focus/patience to actually animate... and of course there's plenty of games i enjoy watching but will probably never be able to play (mostly for non-coordination/poor response time type problems)

[anonymouspuzzler]

You mentioned something about dinner, what's something that you wanted to try making yourself but never found the courage/time to do so?

Most Things !! I'm not a very good chef, I spec'd into Pretty Good Baker instead - I would love to do stuff like homemade pasta or udon or lots of Extremely Thoughtful Meal Prep Lifestyle, but for various reasons none of those things have really happened for me as of yet. admittedly I am also blessed with Partner Who Is An Extremely Good Chef, so a little part of me is content with letting her take charge of cooking things when she's around

[anonymouspuzzler]

Does Buck struggle with Gambling in general or is it JUST that one gacha game?

Also! Watch anything cool lately? Movies or otherwise

definitely in general - Buck, unfortunately, has a very addictive personality type and is very susceptible to quick dopamine hit type patterns. the gacha problem was itself a replacement for worse patterns earlier in his life. he's doing much better on all counts since having Davey around to keep him accountable and fill his life with happiness though

also yesterday me n my wife and a buddy watched very bad (compliment) movie STARCRASH at TRASH NIGHT. very highly recommend both. utterly baffling film in the best possible way. the robot has like a southern prospector voice. david hasselhoff is there

Here's a question for you, question receiving person.

Does Buck have any "secret" hobbies that Davey or Minnie don't know about? Or that he at least doesn't do when they're around/in front of them?

If he does, then what'd the other two think of it if he showed it off one day? (intentionally or not)

somewhat disappointingly, I don't think he has any "secret" hobbies per se - Buck's a very upfront person when it comes to things he likes or doesn't like, and in turn, what he does or doesn't do with his time. Possibly the closest thing is that he tends to be a little self-conscious about building things Specifically For Davey or Minnie (Minnie especially - he doesn't need that little brat catching on that he actually cares about her. Davey's already caught on so he's lost that battle.) or, sometimes, when he's reading something (Buck's a little less book-smart compared to Minnie and Davey, who both really excel on that front, so he's really self-conscious about that.)
