HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY THSC!!!

It may seem like I'm new to this fandom, but I'm not. I got super into thsc about 4 years ago (which is when it released), and kinda had fun with it. Unfortunately, I don't have the history that some people have with this game, and that does make me kinda sad, but I'm glad to be here anyway!

I hope that I continue to fixate on this fandom for weeks in the future. I'm just having that much fun!

4 years is crazy. I can hold that on one hand, man.

I do have some extra stuff to share as well. For example, my oc's trying to celebrate the anniversary.

And failing. Carter dropped the cake. XD

It's okay, though. Devin is making him feel better with terrible puns and jokes.

That's all! Please enjoy your day!

A mark of history can never truly be erased

Try too hard, and you'll tear the pages

Try to cover it up, and it'll still be there

Try to hide it away, little mouse,

And I'll always come back to haunt you

Here are some doodles that I had laying around

I did get around to drawing Terrence. Thank you for noticing 😊

(His design is not set in stone yet, but you can look at my progress so far)

Good morning, everyone. Here's a sloppily written thing to go with a drawing I made yesterday. (For context, Devin is on a mission to break Reginald and Right out of the wall. He's getting Right, but of course, that guy is in maximum security, so he has to pry open a locked, heavy metal door.)

Devin practically slammed his cybernetic arm into the crack of the metal door and pulled. Sure, if he had two regular arms this would've been really stupid. But his left arm, the one that had to be replaced, was of course not normal. It was built not only to replace his arm but it also came with extra features. The extra strength was going to be helpful in this situation.

The door started to bend under the pressure to the point that Devin could get his fingers around the edge of the door. He took hold of the edge of the door with both hands now and pushed his leg against the wall for extra force. The metal started to groan under pressure. Both from the door and his arm.

Devin grunted out of frustration but kept pulling on the door. Something in his left arm popped and sparked, but he wasn't going to stop now. The joints started to pop in his arm to expose the inner workings and wires that were now the only things keeping it together. He let out a spew of strained curses that would have made Right Hand Man proud of him.

Finally, the door gave way as the latch broke. He stumbled back and caught himself on the opposite wall.

Devin's arm started beeping warnings at him. That same agitating sound that had plagued him for all these months and it was going to give away his position.

In a fleet of panic, he grabbed his pocket knife and was just barely able to lift his arm enough to slam it into the palm where the beeping was. Surprisingly, it worked since the beeping came to a slow stop. He sighed heavily and slammed the sockets back into place. It's not like it would have helped him anyway. He could barely move it, and the fingers were all bent to prevent any movement anyway.

Here is some yummy angst to start off the day.

For context, this is after the GSPI ending where Devin becomes the leader of the Toppat Clan.

He's getting a little fed up of people telling him to take a break.

Cursive Translation: "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Cursive Translation: "I know something about your biological parents that your folks won't tell you."

SURPRISE LORE DROP OOHH

[populousgraph]

I had enough motivation to color Devin's Toppat Leader design.

I had no idea how TIME CONSUMING this style was! This took me 5 HOURSS!

One of the major changes I made was his hair. Instead of white, I changed it to brown with faded purple at the tips. (He dyed it forever ago) The only reason I had it white before was to try and fit the art style of the game, but God, it was a mistake. Coloring it made me realize that the way his hair was styled made him look like he had a huge bald spot 😭

IT'S OKAY THOUGH, I FIXED IT!!!

[populousgraph]

I literally haven't been very active because I've been so damn BUSY!

I'm so socially drained it's not even funny

But I do have some stuff I did on the whiteboard + a Bill Cipher that I drew on a different whiteboard with my buddy

[populousgraph]

Good morning, everyone

Some doodles and light lore for a slow morning

Cursive Translation: (So, little mouse has himself a pup? Interesting)

[populousgraph]

Good morning, everyone! Today will be a better day because it's Friday! YIPPEEE!!!

The council has decided your fate...

Wilford is still a work in progress design, but yall can have my progress so far.

I ended up making him look a lot less put together, which I don't know if I should stick with it or not.

I'll just have to see.

[populousgraph]

I have some school doodles of the blorbos bonding

(The additions were by my buddy)

Plus something I doodled in Chemistry

I haven't been really active because my first day of school was so shit. Today was fine, but I'm so mentally tired.

[populousgraph]

Wow

Devin certainly did not go up when he died lmao

This is Devin's design for after the Revenged ending.

Basically, my idea for this ending is that Henry gets saved by Charles and is brought back to life again. (Let this guy die for fucks sake/j)

Devin dies during the airship crash, but he gets stuck. So basically, we get ghostie Dev ^^

The only person who can see Devin is Henry, unfortunately. So Devin haunts him during this ending. Which isn't great for him since Devin REALLY doesn't like Henry.

(The blue text is my friend goofing around).

This design for Devin is inspired off of how VH Charles is drawn in the fandom. Maybe all the ghost sticks look like this!

Anyway, enough yappin from me. Maybe I'll end up coloring this version of Devin later.

[populousgraph]

So... Thsc oc! Yay!

(This is an info dump about Devin, so it might get pretty long...)

Okay, so! It all started when two Toppat members loved each other very much and had a baby. Which was Devin! They took care of him until he was 8 or 9 when they took him on a mission and ended up getting killed in front of him.

With no one to care for him, the Toppat Leaders (Reginald and RHM) decided to take him in and raise him as it says above on his card.

He turned out to be one of the best Toppats in the clan (obviously), but he was also very reckless. He would often rush into things without a plan and end up succeeding by a pure miracle.

Devin is also pretty lighthearted and cocky with him facing his issues with a smile and joke.

Well, what are his relationships with Reginald and RHM?

I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED.

Reginald:

They have a close bond with Reginald being Devin's go-to for emotional support. Reginald shows his affection and concern for Devin a lot more openly. He's usually the one to fuss over him when he ends up doing something dumb that got him injured. He also taught Devin how to use swords with both hands, one he was old enough. (I read a fanfiction where Reginald knew how to fight with swords, and I thought it fit so well for his character.)

Right Hand Man:

RHM is a lot more subtle with his relationship with Devin but is not neglectful. They've spent enough time together that Devin knows that RHM cares for him just as much as Reginald does. He shows his affection and concern through his actions more than words, and it is the one to patch up Devin after he does something stupid. They like to train together by fighting one on one which is Right's favorite style of fighting.

(He's also pals with Burt, Carter (my oc), and Cathat (friend's oc), but I can always expand on that later if you're REALLY interested.)

What's he like during different endings, you ask?

Well since you asked!

Government Supported Private Investigator:

Devin doesn't show up on screen really for this ending, and instead has more offscreen importance.

When the government came to arrest the leaders and most of the clan, Devin fought his hardest to stop it but didn't succeed, which got a lot arrested. He also lost his arm in the airship crash and was taken by remaining Toppats to help him survive.

Once his injury was taken care of and he woke up, he was made the new leader. Of course, he took the position, but he wasn't ready for it. His main goal after this ending was to break the previous leaders out of prison. (Also, he gets a cool cybernetic prosthetic. Aw, like father like son.)

Pure Blooded Thief:

Devin isn't really on screen for this one either and really only shows up at the end with the leaders. Right wants to do something about Henry stealing the Ruby, and Devin is on board with it, but Reginald talks them both out of it. They all escape, but now they really don't like Henry.

Rapidly Promoted Executive:

Devin is on screen more as he runs with Reginald while Henry chases them down. (He would've been with RHM to fight with Henry, but he was told to go with Reg and who is he to disobey Right?)

Anyway, after Right is defeated and Henry tries to get Reginald, he's tackled to the ground and stopped by Devin. So they fight it out while Reg tries to get help. (I have fails and a success for this part, but I'll save that for another time.) Henry finally gets advantage over Devin and slams him into the wall, which knocks him out.

Of course, there's the whole betraying government thing, and Henry becomes leader. Devin is not happy with it...

Relentless Bounty Hunter:

Same thing as the previous ending, but this time, once Devin woke up and found out about it, both him and Right were rightfully pissed about it. Both of them become a terror to the government and work together to get that space station up in orbit so they can go break Reginald out.

(I might talk more about the Completing the Mission endings, but this is already long, and I have no idea how interested people will be in this guy. 🥲)
