#but also the ultimate scrunkly

[queen-of-hawkins-why-ler]

S3 Mike is the type of mf to play spin-the-bottle with the party, have it land on Will, and kiss Will for five seconds with his eyes closed before backing away, scrunching up his nose and pretend spitting and gagging and saying "Oh dude that was so gross"

[sunny-days-and-warm-mournings]

It's like a group photo 🤭

I've been gushing over @celestialkiri @sixteenthchapel and @kaijufluffs 's Sun WuKongs for the past few days bc their arts so good, it's almost like a Monkey King buffet! So many lore and exquisite character writings!!

@celestialkiri is so new to JTTW but they're already doing so well! I'm not one for x readers but I gotta admit this one is very much an exception bc the reader herself is great and her character is very interesting, and it's refreshing to see one that isn't an instant romance. @sixteenthchapel 's WuKong is so feral and lanky I love him <3 He is so sharp and embodies the absolute wildness SWK has whenever an opportunity strikes itself, from pranks and to utter ultimate violence. He is so scrunkly.

And @kaijufluffs 's WuKong???? SO GOOD AND DELECTABLE he is just so cute and the way she draws him is like the embodiment of monkey plushies. I would pick him up and throw him if I had the power. Her AUs are so nice too :D I adore every one of em.

I also wanted to do this bc I got inspired by their works lol, and Huānlè is one of my Sun WuKong variants btw! He's from my Festival Sun AU and I'll do more of him in the future.

AUs/Headcanon Projects

Trollhunters AU Masterpost (because it would be a pain in the ass to list them all)

Starborne Kingdom of Dianite :: My MCYT Starborne AU! Builds off Jordan's origins smp lore, continuing the story (since he fucking won't /lh /j) and adding worldbuilding to the realm of the starborne (in my headcanon, its a version of the Aether!) How the Aether and the cast works comes off a tidbit from non est ad astra (see below) so we got two tiem reesters + hermits + lifers and the canon OSMP cast

Masterpost | AU Tag

Tales of Aitheaca/Gays on a Boat :: Mianite Post-canon/post-Isles fanstory! Gays on a Boat follows tiem reester after season 2 and goes up through Isles (following everyone else but tom and jordan). Tales of Aitheaca picks up where Isles leaves off (if i pretend like the end of Isles doesn't exist it can't hurt me) and takes them to another relative universe in pursuit of a multiversal anomaly, where ultimate balance rules. also the boat is a dimension traveller and to everyone's shock not the only one

Gays on a Boat | Tales of Aitheaca

Mianite Godswap :: Joke AU I made during Octobernite, but also has a bit of story tied to it. mostly an excuse to make syndisparklez between a dianitee and mianitee because that concept is fascinating to me

Mianite x Life Series :: Fan season of the Life Series that builds off a funny little game that Ianite, Dianite and the Watchers play with their casts and swap them around, putting the lifers in a blank slate world of Mianite S1 with the objective of being the last one standing, and Jordan and Tom in a hardcore world where of they die, the world dies

Death’s Scale of Justice :: Headcanon for cEmeraldduo in the Mianite universe! :D Inspired by when Philza showed up at Jordan’s witch hut, Phil is a priest for Ruxomar Ianite and former friend of Spark lookin for his goddess when he disappears. Also includes the backstory for cTechno where he unearths Bellinite, the god of anarchy, revenge and blind vengeance (aka the Blood God) from the depths of the S1 World

(Unnamed HC 10 Worldbuilding) :: WIP, expansion and theory on the story behind Magic Mountain in Hermitcraft season 10 using Joel's temple to Lizzie and Mumbo's mined lab lore as a baseline. no tag yet but is in reference to the mosaic of lizzie and jim on art blog + canary in the iron mine painting

Original Projects

non est ad astra, mollis e terra via :: Multiverse lore dev, work in this is used mostly in reference to MCYT fanon, but also is a project i'm using for some OC stuff (includes worldbuilding for my Mianite RPG characters Ophi and Aurelia, and concepts for the Nightmare Spectrum)

For Good Measure :: Story of my stream sona, Sir Monty Jones aka where he was prior to becoming the wanderer of the outerverse. Takes place prior to Arcadia of Avalon and is basically monty python but if they were my ocs and silly knights and also minecraft

Arcadia of Avalon :: Original Arthurian retelling but i don't gaf I just think knights deserve to be stupid, gay and full of angst as the gods intended. Mostly an excuse to write my rarepairs and do some funky worldbuilding where the land of King Arthur is a war over the power of creation. i can't explain it better than that but trust me its a good one

Wide Awake in the Witching Hour :: Current set of lore and story for my sona Sir Monty Jones. Continues where For Good Measure leaves off and is, relatively time wise, lines up to the current timeline of HC10 and the Mianite RPG

[archduchessgortash]

The fact that Gortash will decide to kill your character if you choose the dialogue option to freely give him the Netherstones is one of my favorite things about him. It either supports his opinion of the player character as his equal, is indicative of rebellion against one of the core principles of his religion, or shows evidence of the Absolute's ability to influence him.

It also suggests that he's not the dom that much of the fandom makes him out to be in their headcanons.

Banite doctrine dictates that subordinates must be subservient to their masters. Subservience in this specific interaction, however, can get your character killed. Worse yet, babygurl is now the enemy. Perhaps, then, they are NOT his subordinate? 🤔

The newly appointed Archduke has generously acknowledged your character as worthy. If he does not see them as his true equal, then he at least sees them as a valuable ally with the potential to be an equal. Your character's submissiveness is an insult to him. How dare they suggest by their willingness to give up the Netherstones that he would permit them to take his own stone without a fight? How dare they be so spineless as to simply do as he says?

If that is who they are, they can roll over and die. He has no use for them.

If he truly sees your character as his subordinate, refusing to allow them to behave as one is directly opposed to his own religious doctrine. Even the Banites' own codes state that the rules of the cult are the only ones that they are obligated to follow. All others are irrelevant. If they are indeed his lesser, Gortash should accept the stones and let your character tag along as cannon fodder, but he doesn't. Is it a subtle rebellion against Bane, or could it be the Absolute exerting her influence to bring the Astral Prism to her directly?

If Gortash is brought to the morphic pool, the Absolute makes it clear that she was in charge, at least from the point of Orin's attack on Durge. She let Gortash and the others believe that they controlled her while she used them to grow more and more powerful. It's fun to think that the genius mastermind was ultimately no more than the Absolute's pawn. How many of his decisions were influenced by her? How much of the Golden Reign of Gortash would even have been Gortash at all? 🤔

The Absolute is as interesting to ponder as the scrunkly Banite himself.

From a personal perspective, the fact that this man expects his allies to stand up to him is one of the reasons that I like him. It also supports my theory of him as a switch, not a dom. Anyone who flat-out submits to him is not worth his time, beyond the time spent to end them, that is. He's a little like Brynhildr. She would only wed one who was without fear.

As popular as top Gortash is, I don't personally see it as particularly in-character for him. The delivery on some of Gortash's more dominant lines is certainly attractive in its tone, so I can totally see why fans would want that. However, in the circumstances in which the lines are spoken in-game, they don't inspire me to fall to my knees. 'You will follow, and you will show due respect' is so very throat-punch worthy.

Ballsy of Gortash to think he can talk like that to someone who has been utterly annihilating his religious hoax... and happens to have recently ganked an immortal paladin.

Plus, the avatar of Myrkul.

And possibly every living Bhaalist in the city, including his high priest and his chosen.

Maybe an undead dragon.

Perhaps even the son of Mephistopheles in his own house.

Gortash wants to say, 'Yes, dear.'

I love that you have to call Gortash's bluff not once but twice, or you're not worth keeping alive. He is surrounded by sycophantic Banites who will do anything he wants because of the way in which their hierarchy is structured. It must get pretty boring after a while. His dislike of Orin isn't the only reason he's so thrilled to see Durge.

I think the last thing he truly wants to hear is a, 'Yes, sir/master.'

[dangans-ur-ronpas]

(turns the freak dial on my kyoko up to 11)

i'm not sure if this is even kyoko anymore or just a kyoko-adjacent character. but. whatever the case. ultimate detective ^^^

design notes and extra below (image id in alt text)

she left the family home some time before coming to HPA, and during that time of independence she developed (refined) her scrunkly look

has also been repairing her own clothes, i.e: the pads on the knees, the stitches in the coat

her hair is chopped short for maintenance reasons, but she's left a chunk of it long so she can still braid it (habit since childhood)

the coat is her fathers that she found in her grandfather's house, and which she took with her when she left (it's too big for her, she had to hem up the bottom so it doesn't drag)

the boots were a birthday gift from her father. they were also a half-size too big at the time, but she insists on wearing them. several years later, the boots are beat to shit, but still usable

the monocle is her grandfather's. it's a kirigiri heirloom, and she uses it in place of a magnifying glass. the nosepiece is too big to fit on her face, so she usually holds it in front of her eye instead

i have no idea why one pants-leg is rolled up. for flavor i guess?

acne scars on her cheeks and temples

usually a dress shirt and nice tie because 'a detective should look respectable' (despite everything else)

i was really aiming for a more ratty high-school-loner design, the kind of person you don't know anything about and might be put off from talking to. but the personality would be very similar to kyoko in the thh canon, sort of blunt and monotone

also feat. my togami redesign idea

[4dorks-1windmage-1shadow]

Would you be willing to do the most recent headcanon list you reblogged for each of the colors?

I already did Red but I'll do the other four here

Sexuality Headcanon:

Green - Bisexual & Polyamorous (this will be a trend)

Blue - Pansexual & Polyamorous

Vio - Bisexual & Demi-romantic/Polyamorous

Shadow - Pansexual & Polyamorous

Gender Headcanon:

Green - Cis male

Blue - Cis male

Vio - Genderfluid, sometimes trans (again, modern AUs)

Shadow - Genderfluid/nonbinary what is a gender he doesn't care to know

A ship I have with said character:

Green/Vaati i LOVE hero/villain dynamics, they are golden retriever/grumpy drama king to me, their relationship is "me + the bad bitch i pulled by being effortlessly kind/charming/funny/humble/gay" instagram captions.

Blue/Everyone. The secret to Blue is that he actually cares SO MUCH, but if anyone calls him out on it he will die on the spot. This is tragic and inevitable (he is bad at hiding it)

Vidow is my ultimate OTP, they are so fascinating to me i want to put them in a blender set it to high and then watch it go nuts. They are toxic and co dependent and would kill for each other and also kill each other too. 100/10 ship I'm a Vidow apologist and i will die on this hill

Is it cheating to say i ship all of them together? They can be one big polycule as a treat

A BROTP I have with said character:

Green and Shadow. Unstoppable force (Shadow) meets immovable object (Green). They have oldest sibling/youngest sibling energy

Blue and Green is also good, they have a bromance unlike anything the world has ever seen. They are always pushing each other to be better and also doing the dumbest stunts for the vine

Vio and Vaati would be infodump pals. They started talking about magic theory at 10 in the morning over breakfast and are still talking about it at 1 am the next day

A NOTP I have with said character:

Literally the only character i can think of is Tingle.

A random headcanon:

Green - my most consistent hc across all AUs/canon is that he has head to toe freckles.

Blue - given a modern AU, Blue joins theater as a way to deal with his anger issues. Not only does it work, but he ends up with a passion for the performing arts as a result

Vio - he has crippling anxiety and is a chronic over thinker. He needs Xanax and a nap.

Shadow - given a modern AU, Shadow is the lead guitar/singer/screamer in a rock band (Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce the Veil, AS IT IS aesthetic/sound), and he can also play almost any instrument that he picks up. He has a huge collection of instruments.

General Opinion over said character:

Green - the funniest thing I've ever seen is people saying that Green wouldn't cheat in a fight RE: my "who would win in a fight" polls and like you're all valid and all OBJECTIVELY wrong, he cheats in the fight against Vio at Death Mountain. He may have morals but he is not lawful good

Blue - I miss him. Where are the blue centric fanfics. Come back from the war please. Someone put this idiot in situations

Vio - perfect amzing beautiful showstopping spectacular always original awful awful man his veins are filled with anxiety instead of blood and i want him dissected by the fandom immediately

Shadow - scrunkly. Shaped. I want to hug him and never let go

[sparklecryptid]

what in-game details do you have for inna? 0: like constellation/weapon/gameplay kit etc

OH i have given this soooo much thought

okay lets start with the basics

constellation: Flora Vitae (which, you know how the archons have people in their constellations? since inna never fully finished ascending his constellation (which was orginally a group of flowers) seems as if it's unfinished. it's as if someone was supposed to be holding the flowers but isn't

weapon: Inna is a sword user. hes got a very fancy one

as for his kit! he specializes in aoe attacks and elemental reactions! his main stats that i would recommend beside crit are attack and elemental mastery. and he is very much a glass canon. you know how alhaitham needs a healer because he goes vroom? inna needs a healer because he also goes vroom and if you're not paying attention to his hp it will drop fast.

(in a perfect world he would also do crowd control bc people can't move with vines rooting them in place but alas)

okay lets move on to attacks:

basic attack: inna slashes someone with a sword

skill: inna imbues the sword with dendro energy and each attack deals dendro damage to the enemy and those that surround the enemy while at the same time dealing damage over time to each person his attack strikes.

ultimate (i actually named this 'shadow of humanity' because im that person): inna unleashes a blast of dendro energy that deals massive damage to those around him. afterwards a spectre of who he was Before appears and draws enemy attention toward it.

special dish: 'It's Soup' a soup made out of some sort of meat and vegetables, you kind of dont want to eat it but when you do its delicious. increases crit rate.

talent: knows where all specialty plants are in whatever region you are in.

other talent: when under 20% health there is a chance that inna will recover hp until it reaches 40% of max hp. while this is in affect inna cannot use his ultimate.

... i thought too much about this. my silly boy. my scrunkly.

[grislyintentions]

[This has been really bugging me for a while so I think it's a good time to talk about it now that I've sorted out my thoughts. I won't be going into it more but you're welcome to reach out privately afterwards if you're one of the involved parties.

I don't really care to know what has been said about me behind my back. Unless it puts me or anyone I know in danger, I don't want to know, though I appreciate people wanting to give me a heads up. It's just not ideal for my mental health- my manic episodes come with delusions and paranoia.

Overall, I am disappointed with finding out that my trust in someone was misplaced as well as how they handled things. In hindsight, that also explains why I felt like people whom I interact ooc with seem to be pulling away all of a sudden, which also was understandable given that I know the context now.

Ultimately, this isn't something I should 'weigh in on' nor do I want to. It was deeply personal for everyone involved. I came on here essentially to write my scrunkly things and have fun, that's it. ]

[fairytale-poll]

ROUND 2! MATCH 5 OUT OF 8

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Into the Woods:

Aside from giving her several good songs, the plot of the musical explores the lessons she takes away from her adventure and continues past her "Happily Ever After." Her new found maturity is represented by her giving away her riding hood and replacing it with the pelt of the big bad wolf. (And she begins carrying a cartoonishly large knife for self defense.)

She wears the Wolf's fur as a coat after her grandma kills him. She gives her cloak to the Baker to help him. She's a badass. She's only a kid. She taunts Jack into going up the beanstalk again.

She's just a feral child tbh. One of her lines in THE VERY FIRST SONG, delivered totally casually, is "into the woods, to bring some bread to granny who is sick in bed! Never can tell what lies ahead, for all that I know, she's already dead!" Everyone else gets a major life change by the end of Act I - Cinderella goes from being a maid to a princess, the baker and his wife have a child, and Jack goes from being poor to being rich - and Little Red just goes from being a feral child to being a feral child WITH A KNIFE, which she constantly brandishes in Act II! And she gets a cool wolfskin cloak to boot. She also goes through Trauma and Losing Her Family in Act II. Poor meowmeow. She has a sweet tooth too and on the way to Granny's house she eats half the loaf of bread and all of the MANY sweets she has in her basket... so silly. She also has AUTISTIC SWAG!! Constantly misses social cues, super bouncy and excited! Basically she's just the ultimate scrunkly and you should all vote for her

She’s so cool and sings cool songs :)

(Spoilers) Bratty little girl who has no value of life in Act 1, forced to reckon with the consequences of everyone's selfish actions as a mourning and vengeful Giantess widow tears through the land in Act 2.

The most iconic little shit. I love her. Has a knife and laughs while threatening people off with it. Allowed to be more than just naïve. 10/10.

the movie is SO SUCKS and she is SO BADASS i love her. please please i'm begging you use the stage musical version instead of the movie

SHES SO GREAT like ohmygod first of all she’s written in such a real way? like she’s not completely helpless just cause she’s a little girl but she’s also not a cold unfeeling girlboss just cause she has a knife (unless you’re watching the movie but the movie sucks). she acts like a kid would really act in these situations. it’s a little depressing to think about cause it’s so widespread for media not to do this, but for all the shallow, surface level girlbossery in modern media, it’s refreshing to see that sondheim treated the women in his art like people. they didn’t have to be held to any sort of standard just by nature of being women. they are just themselves.

She's got really awesome songs + she's just a hungry little girl who wants some food and also to go see her grandmother. We get to see her process grief and learn how to be on her own and then we get to see her learn that she doesn't have to be alone because "no one is alone". We see her grow from a naive little girl to a girl who lashes out at everything so she doesn't end up in danger again into a girl who wants to look out for and be there for people because they are alone just like she was and she doesn't want them to have to feel like she did. Also she has a knife and she's not afraid to use it. Her first cape is somewhat magical and is used in a potion to reverse a curse and give this couple a baby and then her second cape is really cool and made out of the skins of the wolf. She group effort helped kill a giant through gaslighting, gatekeeping, and girlbossing. (and also in my opinion the wolf-grandma-little red cottage scene is one of if not the funniest scenes in the show) [also Into the Woods is amazing & I love it & my best friend played little red]

Tweenage girl with a lot of anger. There is no stronger force on this earth

she's classic little red but she's a lot more cool she got a knife from her grandmother after the wolf incident and she wears the skin of the wolf she also interacts with other fairy tale characters and uhm she's very much a little girl with a knife she's perfect

Edgar w.bg would want you to vote for ItW

Original Fairytale:

The girl, the myth, the legend. The one who started it all. She skips into the forest with head held high, unknowing of the wolf and the many, many retellings of her story. Something, something, puberty, something, something, men are wolves. Just let my girl wear her red cape and be on her way to Granny's, please and thank you.

I feel like in a lot of modern adaptations they get lost in making Red Riding Hood more a girlboss who fights back or making her secretly (or not secretly) the real wolf or having her and the wolf be love interests, they lose a lot of what made the original fairytale so good. AND SO CHILLING! We have been told this story so often since childhood we can forget how frightening it can really be. A lost young girl, punished for the follies of childhood. I also think that even in the "happy" endings when the huntsman saves her there is this sense that she will never be the same. Her childhood is over. And that's haunting! The horrors of unprotected innocence.

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao]

HELLO EVERYBODY!!!

Welcome to the ultimate blog entirely for Beyond Birthday, B, BB, or Backup, and A (Alex Ryuzaaga) or Alternative from Death Note & the Wammy's House!!

I made this blog SPECIFICALLY for Alex, but there will also be Beyond sprinkled in a little bit.

Maybe some other Los Angeles BB murder cases stuff who knows

I made this for him since basically ITS SO WEIRD how the only things canon said were "He was the first successor. Then he died. The end." LIKE DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (probably not the only things but kind of like that).

Update: I made this post a while ago and didn’t know as much about the character back then. The link below is simply someone sharing their own headcanons about him and I personally take inspiration from it as it was the first thing I saw when searching for information about this character when I was a wee little lad. You can make this character into however you want because the only thing canon says is he died from being under too much pressure from L! So, yeah. Putting this here.

This Quora post says a lot of information (that is probably canon or idunno. no one knows anymore) about Alex though! It gives you a lot more information and story behind him and what his hobbies were and his personality. Look at the one Ellie Lawliet made

Anyways, i'll be putting my interpretations of him and headcanons for him here (i have so much to infodump) and ill share AUs, fanfics, information, all kinds of stuff like that.

You can submit posts for me to put here too about him. And, i dont know if you're able to like submit a post you made for me to post, or if I can just reblog it from you, but you can @ me about stories, interpretations, headcanons, information you have/made/found as well!

So uh yea. I made this blog to shed some light on him since he's very underrated but also very important and scrunkly

There's probably some other blogs like this idunno but i made this for fun and to share my things about him

Ill probably edit/update this post to put more things later about this blog, but for now im winging it and screaming into the void.

[hana-the-ghostieee]

so remember this bahooey? if you don't feel like clicking, uhm basically i took the screw you pusu band, tuyu's/omutatsu's bus-chan from the songs anoyo-iki no basu ni notte saraba and shuuten no saki ga aru to suru naraba and wondershow-ified her cuz she somehow ends up getting in some of my ruikasa posts (that barely exist cuz i almost never make them. dw my head is brimming with other less angsty ideas. [insert fluffy beach scene here but we're not talking about that now])

and well... i never really mentioned what happened to ruikasa with the inclusion of bus-chan to wxs soooo uhm. here.

so you know how bus-chan's songs are about suicide, right? uhh yeah... (i think you know where i'm going with this I'M SORRYYY)

uhm MEGA trigger warning suicide under the cut (uh oh. also besides the trigger warning this text post is VERY long)

uh huhh. so my ultimate scrunklies end up oofing themselves. don't ask me how or why. somehow and somewhy (a part of me wants to say they deserved this for eating my brain packed with fandoms at their fixer dinner date but also. THEY DIEDDD WAAAAAA)

i'm thinking for tsukasa it's more of a kako ni situation where he somehow messes up on one of their shows and it all just. spirals down from there while for rui we just. jump right to anoyo-iki

and right before darkness, a butt ton of white triangles cover their vision, as if they're entering sekai and all that jazz (they oof separately btw. and in numerical order, 1 goes before 2)

and then when they come to (apart from each other obviously) they wake up in essentially the real world, just. there's no one there. not even miku. (also did i mention it's like midnight forever. heh 12:00) so they explore this "sekai" and stuff! and it's just you know blah blooh bleh what is this place is this where you go when you die i must've deserved this then. where this au starts is essentially shuuten no saki "a warm flower bed, how inviting.../and bathing under this sparkling river.../and at night, all of the stars, they're just so close/but even so, there isn't anyone here!"

and before you ask yes. i am sitting on the floor, on my knees, raising my hands, asking myself what i have done and why to reach this

i'm literally just doing this on the floor

and theeen. they finally find each other. at first they're like OH MY GOD WHERE WERE YOU WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE with the huggies and the crieses and then the realization sets in WAIT YOU DIED TOO NOOOO YOU NEVER DESERVED TO DIE TTTTT^TTTTT just. "i just never wanted you to ever end up like me"

did i forget to mention. uhm time in this "sekai" (i'll keep using quotes idk what to call it) works differently than time irl, so irl the whole looking for an endpoint thing takes about a week, but in the "sekai". honestly who knows how much time has passed.

anyways from that point they're just working out their feelings. the main goal here is to have the accept what has happened and move on, i guess? they're supposed to find their self-worth (which in this state? is going to take a while.) but also. ruikasa confessioooon hehe!!! so back when they were still alive they had crushes on each other but of course. never got around to saying it. so now they've confessed and are trying to make the other see what he sees and then they slowly start to regret oofing themselves

from the start of this thing about two days has passed irl and yeah everyone pretty much found out they're gone (saki was lying on the floor screaming crying the liquid water out of her body. leo/need suspected something and was met with that scene. and they're all going to comfort her. basically time to take a break from whatever this above paragraphs are.)

anyways when they (scrunkles) finally accept they are worth something and regret oofing themselves and are like. "if there's an endpoint, a way out of here, please, i want you to go, just take it and leave" oh my goodness finally

the sun rises and miku FINALLY arrives (not like any miku or version of miku bound to any sekai but THE miku hatsune) (the appearance of hatsune miku) and she's like "hi i'm hatsune miku, not the wondershow miku but THE hatsune miku big deal i know. so i see you've finally realized your true feelings once more and blah" and they go "okay so can you... i don't know... resurrect us into the real world of humans?" and then she goes blink blink "i may be the one to watch over all of the sekais, and maybe control them but even i only have so much power. i can take you to another place, but it won't be what you expect." and then they're like "...what--" and then miku takes them to ~the in between~. you know. the in between of all the sekais to ever exist. the white triangley space where you as in the player can talk to miku. anyways cue journey by deco*27 (the miku version)

so miku's like "welcome to the in between! this is the place in between all the sekais and explanation stuff there are about as many sekais as there are people probably and whatever and here's rin and len and everyone else, say hii" and then she goes "so. as vocaloids we can just show up in any sekai whenever we want, but once we enter, we get another persona influenced by the feelings of the creators, or in your and mafuyu's case, creator and can't leave. in your cases thooouuugh, i'm pretty sure you can just. hop in and out of a sekai kind of like how you do normally, except when you exit a sekai you go back here rather than the real world. you can also enter a sekai and project onto their devices too! so you're basically one of us vocaloids, without the robotic voice" and then rui's like "...so if i hop in say this sekai i'll interact normally and stuff, just when i exit i go back here" and miku goes "mhm!" meanwhile tsukasa's just. "WHERE IS SAKI'S SEKAI I NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO HER NOOOOWWWW SHE'S PROBABLY CRYING OVER ME" and kaito's like "okay okay. hold on i'll pull up the school sekai for you" and yay tenma siblings reunion!!! and he explains his situation and stuff and his boyfriend follows him and they explore all the different sekais like me scrolling the ruikasa tag on ao3 and whatever.

i do feel like they'd probably hang around the empty sekai more (cuz ~ eMoTiOnS ~ and ~ fEeLiNgS ~ and they have hands on experience with the suicide and the self harm)

wow the freakish amount of crack-fic i could work on from there is stupid. just imagine not only tsukasa, but rui too showing up in the street sekai. "hmm. i sense a new presence." "WAUGH HOW WHAT WHY ARE YOU HERE" "wait HOW DID THEY GET HERE" "guys calm down they're just rui and tsukasa??? i mean yeah, how did they get here but why are you guys scared of them??" "WE HAVE TO BE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FREAKING DEAD HOW-WHA-WHY-WHAAA???" "wait they're dead??? oh my god what's going on???"

hweh that's all =w=

ROUND ONE, MATCH THIRTY-SEVEN: KANATSUN VS. EIVOR

an obscure showdown to the death, it would seem! Kanatsune Ame from Entropic Float enters the ring against Eivor from Varn!ng för Jönssonligan. Now, I don't know who either of these are, and it took far more digging to find pictures for either of them. I'm not 100% sure that's actually Eivor. But, perhaps that makes this an even match. Against anyone else, surely, they would fall, simply due to obscurity. But against each other, they truly have a chance. Bugs Bunny Vs. Shrek, Dokja Vs. Waddles, some powerful matches to be certain, but perhaps this is the ultimate Blorbo from my Shows showdown.

Kanatsune Propaganda:

"oh god he is SO scrunkly. he is an absolute wet paper towel trust me tumblr would be OBSESSED with him if he was more well known. my guy thinks hes heartless but he cares so much. he thinks that he doesnt really have what it takes to appreciate arts while literally attending performances in his free time. his codename is Kanatsun which is basically his first name with a letter chopped off so he says "well given i have no living relatives. my last name will be the name i will consider to be my real one as it holds more meaning to me". he cant cook. he is afraid of bugs and wants to Stay Away from one but when he hears that people next to the bug discuss something hes an expert in he cant help himself but come over and say "hey i heard you talking. im gonna tell you what i know and now ill walk away again". he started questioning his sexuality only upon other kids calling him gay bc he liked to sew, and twenty years later hes still questioning. he is physically disabled and his boss hid the fact from him. everyone knows his deal better than he does."

Eivor Propaganda:

"Canonically strong enough to break bricks. Has done this just to silence her husband's boss while the boss was yelling at them both, successfully scaring the boss shitless. Also so excited for moving to Hawaii that she donates most of her family's furniture to charity or sister before they even secured their funds for the trip. She's literally only in one film from 1981 (whereas the franchise she's from lasted for several decades) but man has her silly self made an impression on me"

idk if this will make sense but like. the way birb feathers work for mobians IN MY LORE AT LEAST is that like, they have individual feathers and fluff layers like a regular bird. BUT. the reason they have shapes or some have limited strands or pieces (take wave for instance) that do not seem feathery or textured at all… is NOT because it is one big feather or plume or anything.

instead, feathers are often loose and fluffy, but styled into these loc-like shapes for convenience and also personal flare. it takes a lot of maintenance and upkeep for them to stay so uniform and unruffled, especially if you have less of them, but it’s still less maintenance than having to deal with daily styling

ultimately, out of the rogues, jet has the least managed (but still heavily managed) feathers because he loves the mohawk or ponytail look— it’s out of his face and even if they get ruffled by the wind, they’re behind him.

storm has 3, and is the most confident in his styling ability because there’s no mohawk, hairtie, or bandana to cover him when he’s not feeling up to it. king shit

wave’s feathers,,, are a good representation of her personality. having feathers styled THAT LONG is basically unheard of. like she has never molted that shit off she is COMMITTED and they aren’t extensions either. don’t ask me how they feathers grow longer like hair i haven’t decided which reasoning i want to go with yet. anyways, wave’s feathers require THE MOST effort, but the reason why storm still surpassed her is because. of the bandana. wave isn’t styling those fucking baby feathers, so on a good day her head is smooth, but most days it is the bird equivalent of hat hair and a scrunkly mess of choppy fringe. and i love her

Some questions I feel like are okay enough to ask about Hitsuji; if this isn't okay, ignore this!

1. What is Hitsuji's favorite color?

2. Who is their best friend? (Ex. Izuku, Shinso, Monoma, etc.) And what person do they not get along with? (Ex. Mineta, Denki, Katsuki, etc.)

3. What's their favorite thing to do in their free time? Training? Sleeping? Eating?

4. What hero do they look up to? Endeavor? Eraserhead? Possibly Gang Orca?

5. If they had a partner (you do not have to answer this if you don't feel comfy!), how would they treat them?

6. How big is their family? Do they have a lot of siblings? Are they the only child? Do they have a good relationship with everyone?

don't worry, these questions are totally acceptable!

1) Bold colors - oxblood, vibrant yellow-orange, royal blue, ultraviolet purple

2a) Because of their personality type, it tends to be those that have a particular niche in handling/tolerating wild ones. Top bestie is a waturbby named Haru (a friendo's blorbo :>). Eijirou falls into this category pretty well, and so would Izuku, but Izuku's a bit more of a special case, kek. There's also Katsuki, it's very complicated with that man. >>;

2b) KATSUKI 100000%. A classmate of theirs named Yata, who's an oc of a friend (scrunkly foxboy gets headbutted any time he breathes in Hitsuji's general direction). Mineta's a generic classic distaste, especially since Hitsuji's afab so those creepy antics really get under their fleece. Believe it or not, Yoshinori's on the list, and even dared to run the former symbol of peace over one time.

3) Horticulture and charity! Family's got a long line of farmers, and they're fond of helping out small businesses (like mom and pop shops) with any handiwork + offering his fleece donations for those who still rely on organic resources.

4) Mirko is first on the list for embracing the frenzy-like instincts on the field and making a name with it. Not only is Mirko a hybrid, but more importantly the prey category, yet still intimidates her opponents with her tenacity and sheer brute strength. Her fighting style's also heavily observed/referenced for Hitsuji's own combat. HUGE FAN!

Endeavor's a close second; powerful, regal, methodical, bold, and doesn't crumble under pressure. Hitsuji doesn't look at the family problems he's got dragging behind him - It's strong traits that interest Hitsuji the most.

Deku's surprisingly in third place. I mean, there's gotta be something there if they asked for an internship from him. :)

5) At first, they'll be a nervous mess on the inside, but on the outside they're tryna seem cool af. In this puppylove stage, they're more on the defense with their actions - keeping a distance and forging an iron cast fortress around their heart. They despise being vulnerable in any situation, so the fact that their partner is interested at some level surprises them. They're rough around the edges, a stubborn mess, doubting the relationship will last. A bit of a pushover, blunt even, but it's all in the name of love I promise. If the relationship seems to last longer than the initial assumption, they'll start to warm up. Rough handling turns softer, more tender, partner would be constantly headbutted VERY LIGHTLY in a silent acknowledgement and affection. Hitsuji can and will protect no matter the cost, maybe a tad possessive, but in a caring way.

6) Decently big. About 7 siblings, several aunties and uncles, and a good basketful of rowdy cousins. Hitsuji's the oldest amongst their siblings and thoroughly embedded into their family, and is actually the first of their generation to strive for a hero permit. There wasn't really a necessity since the family does live and feed off of the land, but Hitsuji felt they could do more, therefore becoming a protector for the family/citizens would be the ultimate accomplishment in their dream :)

SO. SLUGLINGS AMIRITE??

I heard some of you were interested, so here's a bit of info on them! Sorry it took a little while I ended up drawing a ton for my scrimblos here </3

Sluglings evolved from sea slugs as you probably know, which are known to have up to 700000 microscopic, razor sharp hook shaped teeth. (I sure love animals that are biological horrors up under a microscope!!) Over time this became a useless thing, so they began to evolve in favor of merging the teeth into much larger, actually usable fang-like teeth. These fangs are semi retractable and are also heavily used to convey emotion, similarly to their antenna, unsheathing when angry.

Sea slugs are solitary creatures, unlike sluglings which had evolved to be much more sociable over time. At first so they could hunt with a chance of succeeding, but now to the point of having a complex social structure. They have developed a unique language called Sluguni, alongside some highly expressive body language. Some examples found below.

Another thing to note is the rounder, broken mask shape. They partially come up the nose bridge, but are ultimately broken apart, taking on an almost heart shape in most common cases. In rare cases, there will be only one rounded shape, making them look almost like a weird inkling if it weren't for their antenna. They most commonly have two rounded "eyelash" shapes, but it's also not unheard of to have more than two. More examples below!!

Their hairstyles are composed of several things as well, with no real requirements other than the antenna! Plus one other trait.. This trait can be anything, from the gills, to the cerata, to the mantle skirt!! You could even get creative and slap the tail/foot on as a sort of longer hairstyle! Antenna + hairstyle can be mixed and matched should you so desire; More examples below!!! You do not need to follow these examples, and if you do you don't need to follow them to an exact! Creativity is encouraged just like you would with an inkling character!! Like look at Frye compared to other inklings!!

SO GET OUT THERE AND CREATE A SLUGLING IF YOU WANNA GOOFS GO CRAZY GO WILD HMU IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I DONT BITE I PROMISE!! :D

IF YOU MAKE ONE TAG ME THIS IS A THREAT I WANT TO SEE THE SCRUNKLY

[insecateur]

for the record i really think that. chasing after in-characterness(?) or however you define "as close to canonical as possible" in general but ALSO especially in a sprawling canon where 1) characters have like 50 lines of dialogue on average when they're "important" to the "story" (which contain 2 grams of backstory at most, if you're lucky) 2) there are like 3 canonical universes divided by media types that all contradict themselves and 3) the entire timeline AND some of the translation choices (like, to name a random one, deciding that team rocket is the italian mafia and not the yakuza) wreak total havoc into trying to make something coherent out of it without compromising at least a little but mostly a lot,

is kind of pointless, to be frank

do i think some portrayals of lysandre are "out-of-character"? i mean, i'd be lying if i said i didn't, but also, it ultimately doesn't matter to me because worst case scenario i can just avert my eyes (and that's not even getting into the fact that i'd argue that, say, animeverse lysandre is out-of-character based on his gameverse portrayal)

i like sharing meta and things like deep dives into translation etc because it's interesting and contributes to how i write him but i don't think that you have to like. know how french lysandre talks in order to understand his character or whatever. if it helps people take on new perspectives about him that's good!! i'm glad!! i want to inspire people and make them think about who lysandre is. but i don't think my posts about him are Advice people need to follow or whatever. he's just my silly little scrunkly blorbo meow meow and i want to talk about him and i'm just grateful anybody is even willing to listen tbh
